0:01
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on? My people? How are
0:17
Speaker 1: we doing? John middlecoff three and out podcast. Hopefully everyone
0:20
Speaker 1: had a good Easter weekend. Here's the game plan right now.
0:24
Speaker 1: We had some tentative plans, We've moved them around. I
0:27
Speaker 1: over the weekend recorded a two part mailbag. So today
0:30
Speaker 1: will be the first part. Tomorrow will be the second part.
0:33
Speaker 1: And you guys know the drill at John middlecough firing
0:37
Speaker 1: my dms on Instagram. How you get your questions answered?
0:41
Speaker 1: Right here? We will. I'm in Los Angeles all week
0:46
Speaker 1: filling in with Colin on the Herd. His show. Probably
0:50
Speaker 1: heard of it, and I just didn't know my schedule.
0:54
Speaker 1: I knew I wasn't gonna be able to do record
0:56
Speaker 1: anything on Easter. So over the next couple days I'll
0:58
Speaker 1: do a master's preview as well well. That will be
1:01
Speaker 1: up with some of my plays, some of my plays
1:05
Speaker 1: that I like because your boy's hot when it comes
1:07
Speaker 1: to betting the little white golf ball. So other than that,
1:13
Speaker 1: uh yeah, we we have a tentative plan to potentially
1:16
Speaker 1: talk to one of the college head coaches in UH
1:20
Speaker 1: in southern California. And his name is not Lincoln Riley,
1:24
Speaker 1: so Bob Chesney. We're working on that. Looks like that
1:28
Speaker 1: might go down, So I might be at UCLA one
1:30
Speaker 1: of these days in the afternoon. But let's just before
1:34
Speaker 1: we dive into the mailbag. You guys know the drill.
1:36
Speaker 1: Subscribe to the to the podcast if you listen on
1:40
Speaker 1: Collins Feed, and make sure you check out all of
1:43
Speaker 1: our videos up on Netflix. Appreciate everyone watching that way,
1:46
Speaker 1: And let's just dive right into the bag. Triple header
1:48
Speaker 1: for the bag peptides, any thought on retrut re retat
1:55
Speaker 1: to ride to tide something to Andrew Huberman is calling
1:59
Speaker 1: the next trillion dollars never heard of it? Tough to
2:02
Speaker 1: say that. We're gonna need to shorten that. A lot
2:04
Speaker 1: of te's and rides and that's that was an intense
2:07
Speaker 1: word for a guy that has multiple degrees, which I butchered. Clearly,
2:13
Speaker 1: huge Bills fan to a Huge Nighter guy. If Josh
2:17
Speaker 1: doesn't win one Super Bowl with the Bills by the
2:20
Speaker 1: end of his current contract, how likely would it be
2:23
Speaker 1: to see Josh go to his childhood's team, the forty
2:27
Speaker 1: nine ers. Shanahan plus Josh equals bananas, assuming Shanahan's still there.
2:34
Speaker 1: I think there were some rumblings at the at the
2:39
Speaker 1: owner's meetings about a contract extension. Your listener should be
2:42
Speaker 1: called the middleman. I think that's a pretty popular I've
2:45
Speaker 1: gotten a million dms with the middlemen, and we might
2:47
Speaker 1: just have to stick with that. It's it's it's what
2:51
Speaker 1: the people are asking for. I think sometimes one your
2:54
Speaker 1: childhood team is pretty overrated in pro sports, right, I mean,
2:58
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is a Armors kid from the Central Valley
3:02
Speaker 1: who has become an absolute rock star in Buffalo. You know,
3:07
Speaker 1: in pro sports, I think it can be a little overrated.
3:11
Speaker 1: I truly do. I mean, Lebron born and raised in Cleveland,
3:16
Speaker 1: plays for the Cavs. But like when I think of him,
3:18
Speaker 1: I think of the Miami Heat or the Los Angeles
3:19
Speaker 1: Lakers now, you know. So, I just think sometimes Steph
3:23
Speaker 1: Curry is from the East Coast. He's gonna spend the
3:25
Speaker 1: rest of his life, I would imagine in the Greater
3:29
Speaker 1: Bay Area, like Joe Montana, Steve Young, Barry Bonds have
3:34
Speaker 1: done with their lives. So I think as we get older,
3:37
Speaker 1: that stuff means less and less for those of us
3:40
Speaker 1: that you know, it's one thing we can move around,
3:43
Speaker 1: Like I am still more inclined like to fall the
3:48
Speaker 1: Niners and watch the Niners, but like I keep really
3:51
Speaker 1: close tabs on the Eagles and the Chiefs and don't
3:54
Speaker 1: try not to miss a snap of any of their games.
3:57
Speaker 1: So why is that It's like I grew up cancel
3:59
Speaker 1: each for an Eagle guy. Sometimes your connections professionally it
4:04
Speaker 1: changes us. So I hear what you're saying. You know,
4:08
Speaker 1: Tom Brady once asked Kyle Shanan, he's with Jimmy Garoppolo,
4:12
Speaker 1: so maybe that pulls on his heart. Maybe he does
4:15
Speaker 1: at the end of his career. But I would say,
4:18
Speaker 1: like he's a made man in Buffalo and Super Bowl
4:21
Speaker 1: or not, He's gonna be on the Buffalo Bills for
4:23
Speaker 1: a long time. Okay. Aiden When people were saying Dante
4:28
Speaker 1: Moore would go back to Oregon, I thought they were crazy.
4:31
Speaker 1: While he would earn eight million at Oregon, he would
4:34
Speaker 1: earn a guaranteed forty eight million dollars since he was
4:38
Speaker 1: a shoe in to go number two. That seems the
4:43
Speaker 1: teams drafting at the top are always bad. The Jets
4:46
Speaker 1: have Breese and Garrett as well as two good linemen.
4:49
Speaker 1: The nil era has clearly changed the game wondering if
4:53
Speaker 1: you could give some insight into why he did this.
4:56
Speaker 1: I don't know how old you are, Aidan, but I
5:00
Speaker 1: think the perspective as you get older when someone says
5:03
Speaker 1: you could get forty eight million dollars, right for me,
5:06
Speaker 1: if someone's like, hey, if you did this, you would
5:10
Speaker 1: get forty eight million dollars, I would be inclined, you know,
5:15
Speaker 1: unless it was like selling my soul, but just a
5:17
Speaker 1: basic business deal in the industry I work in, I
5:20
Speaker 1: would do that right as long as it didn't entail,
5:24
Speaker 1: you know, moving to a place they didn't want to move,
5:25
Speaker 1: because I honestly would say no. But well, unless I
5:29
Speaker 1: go back and forth, depend how far it was. My
5:32
Speaker 1: point is, when you're twenty twenty one years old and
5:36
Speaker 1: you're making five million dollars and then eight million dollars,
5:39
Speaker 1: the guy is living like a king. He's at Oregon,
5:43
Speaker 1: which football has become. I mean it's not quite Alabama,
5:48
Speaker 1: LSU or Georgia, but it's pretty intense and pretty fun
5:53
Speaker 1: and a pretty big deal. So like when you're like,
5:56
Speaker 1: well you could add forty eight million dollars, like I'm
5:58
Speaker 1: making eight million dollars right now, we might win. Then
6:00
Speaker 1: actual championship. Right, So it was one thing when you
6:03
Speaker 1: were Brown bagging a kid and giving him a free
6:05
Speaker 1: you know, BMW, it's another thing like this guy's probably
6:08
Speaker 1: made fifteen million dollars over the course of the last
6:11
Speaker 1: several years. So when you say that money, he's like,
6:15
Speaker 1: I'm rich right now, right, I'm gonna be rich. Then
6:19
Speaker 1: I also think it's probably less about like he didn't
6:22
Speaker 1: want to go the Jets or the Cardinals and more
6:24
Speaker 1: about like this isn't this is awesome, This is incredible
6:27
Speaker 1: because you're right, more than likely the Jets, the Cardinals,
6:31
Speaker 1: the Browns are gonna be in the market for his
6:34
Speaker 1: services next year, right, I think it's fair to say.
6:38
Speaker 1: Let's say Dante Moore has a great season and he's
6:41
Speaker 1: the number one overall pick, better than almost said to
6:44
Speaker 1: eli Archie, arch Archie's grandpa, better than I don't even
6:51
Speaker 1: people keep telling me this quarterback class is incredible. Well
6:53
Speaker 1: we'll see, I mean, we hear that every single year.
6:55
Speaker 1: Sometimes it is, sometimes it doesn't live up to type.
6:57
Speaker 1: But bottom line, let's just say he's the clear number one. Win,
7:00
Speaker 1: all the dust settles and Oregon goes on to Final
7:03
Speaker 1: four National Championship, or whatever, just has an incredible year.
7:06
Speaker 1: Let's say he wins the national championship. He does what
7:08
Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoza just did, first national championship in Oregon history,
7:12
Speaker 1: and he's fucking lights out. It would be stunning if
7:15
Speaker 1: he doesn't end up on one of those two teams.
7:17
Speaker 1: But I think the reason that these people are able
7:19
Speaker 1: to convince guys to stay is because, like, once you're
7:22
Speaker 1: making money and you're having a good time, and you're
7:24
Speaker 1: probably dating one of the baddest babes or ten of
7:27
Speaker 1: the baddest babes on campus and in the area, and hell,
7:29
Speaker 1: you got money, you can fly people out, meet him
7:31
Speaker 1: on Instagram in Dallas or LA, put him on a
7:34
Speaker 1: plane flight, put him in first class. It would change
7:41
Speaker 1: the way you thought about it. I just think it's
7:43
Speaker 1: dramatically different when you factor in that these guys can
7:46
Speaker 1: get paid now. As a young person, your perspective changes
7:51
Speaker 1: a lot as you age. So maybe he looks back
7:54
Speaker 1: on it and then like, I should have left if
7:55
Speaker 1: the season doesn't go well. But I think in the moment,
7:59
Speaker 1: when you're getting these huge checks and life's awesome and
8:01
Speaker 1: you're playing for Dan Lanning, who feels like a lot
8:03
Speaker 1: of fun, pretty easy to do. Love the show. Mailback
8:09
Speaker 1: question is from Steve. Do you think the Bills will
8:11
Speaker 1: get over the hump with Joe Brady? I would bet
8:17
Speaker 1: on them to win a Super Bowl in the next
8:18
Speaker 1: couple of years. I just would because historically, like the
8:24
Speaker 1: great quarterbacks of an era win a Super Bowl. Just
8:27
Speaker 1: think about my life, Steve Young, Troy Aikman, Bret Farv,
8:33
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning, obviously, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger, Patrick Mahomes.
8:40
Speaker 1: You know that there aren't many guys if we just
8:43
Speaker 1: look at the last like twenty five years, like who's
8:46
Speaker 1: super Bowl less that is viewed as like a Hall
8:48
Speaker 1: of Fame guy Drew Brees, super Bowl Champ Right. I
8:53
Speaker 1: mean it's it's like the Matt Ryan and Cam Newton
8:56
Speaker 1: to me are in like that nextier, right, they were
9:00
Speaker 1: on individual years could be great players. Individual games that
9:02
Speaker 1: could be great players, But like Cam Newton or Matt
9:05
Speaker 1: Ryan a Hall of famer Not for me, but when
9:07
Speaker 1: you think about the Hall of Famers of the era, Roethlisberger,
9:11
Speaker 1: you know, Eli's on the fence, And to me, it's
9:14
Speaker 1: like if you don't put an Eli in I'm not
9:16
Speaker 1: gonna lose sleep, but all the best quarterbacks won them,
9:20
Speaker 1: so I would bet on Josh winning a Super Bowl.
9:23
Speaker 1: I'm pretty high on Joe Brady. I think he's pretty impressive.
9:28
Speaker 1: You talk about fatherhood and it's so relatable as a
9:31
Speaker 1: father of three with littles that had a hard time sleeping.
9:36
Speaker 1: My number one recommendation is the SNeW. We got the SNeW.
9:41
Speaker 1: It's actually working well, he's sleeping. You know. Part of
9:44
Speaker 1: it is get to that hump. You know, it's like
9:48
Speaker 1: in training camp. You know, if you play high school
9:50
Speaker 1: football or obviously college football, NFL's training camps all that
9:54
Speaker 1: difficult relative to what it was, no double days, but
9:57
Speaker 1: like you're just like, get us to the week, get
9:59
Speaker 1: us to week one, or if you're in boot camp
10:01
Speaker 1: or you're in any sort of training, just like there's
10:03
Speaker 1: a finish line. I think that finish line for babies
10:07
Speaker 1: tends to be if you do it right, and they
10:10
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, kind of fall into some sort
10:13
Speaker 1: of routine that kind of nine, ten, eleven week mark,
10:16
Speaker 1: and he's kind of hit that he's been sleeping way better.
10:18
Speaker 1: So it's I've definitely got some sanity back. That's for sure,
10:22
Speaker 1: and she's gotten way. I mean, let's be real, I
10:25
Speaker 1: was sleeping way more than her. She's definitely got her
10:28
Speaker 1: sanity back. Question for the bag, what is the best
10:31
Speaker 1: case scenario for the Seahawks in the draft this year? Uh, well,
10:36
Speaker 1: if you look at the last couple of years, there's
10:39
Speaker 1: been some really good players there. For the super Bowl
10:42
Speaker 1: winning team two years ago, it was the Chiefs took
10:48
Speaker 1: well I guess I guess that was last year too,
10:51
Speaker 1: so the Chiefs didn't win it. But let's just take
10:53
Speaker 1: the two teams in the Super Bowl, the Chiefs in
10:55
Speaker 1: the Eagles. One ended up with Josh Simmons, who is
11:00
Speaker 1: I don't know, a top ten prospect in that draft.
11:03
Speaker 1: He just had questions about his knee, but a big
11:05
Speaker 1: time left like a potential franchise left tackle. And Jahad Campbell.
11:10
Speaker 1: Both guys had some injury question marks, but they were
11:13
Speaker 1: big time talents. So I think you never quite know
11:16
Speaker 1: who's gonna be there. I don't think they have any
11:21
Speaker 1: to force a need. You could go with the running
11:25
Speaker 1: back from Notre Dame, not Love, but the backup. You
11:28
Speaker 1: could go wide receiver to get a cheap wide receiver
11:32
Speaker 1: in there. With JSN I mean, you can always take
11:35
Speaker 1: offensive or defensive lineman. No one ever complains about that,
11:38
Speaker 1: but I think the world's kind of their oyster. That's
11:41
Speaker 1: the best part about winning a Super Bowl is like,
11:43
Speaker 1: whoever is the top guy on your board when you're
11:45
Speaker 1: sitting there, take them? You know, why did the Chiefs
11:49
Speaker 1: and the Eagles take Simmons and Johad Campbell Because those
11:51
Speaker 1: guys were clearly the best player on their board when
11:54
Speaker 1: they drafted. And for those of you that don't know
11:58
Speaker 1: the SNeW it's basically a bassinet that is plugged in
12:02
Speaker 1: that oscillates, so you know, it's there's a reason rocking
12:06
Speaker 1: chairs for babies work because if he's freaking out, you
12:11
Speaker 1: get on the rocking chair, he'll calm down. You get
12:13
Speaker 1: him in the snow. It starts going like this and
12:16
Speaker 1: it has the uh that ambient you know, kind of
12:20
Speaker 1: white noise. It's like, bo, I'm not doing it right,
12:23
Speaker 1: but you know, and it works. New dad to a
12:29
Speaker 1: nine month old who's getting huge after being a thirty
12:32
Speaker 1: four week premie. It's crazy how they get big. You know,
12:36
Speaker 1: my son was like seven pounds and now ten weeks
12:41
Speaker 1: later he's he's thirteen. He's kind of fat right now. Now,
12:44
Speaker 1: in fairness, he can't walk or burn any calories eating
12:47
Speaker 1: a lot of milk. Why do you say quarterbacks see
12:50
Speaker 1: every penny of their contracts, even the non guarantees. How
12:54
Speaker 1: is this different than let's say, a wide receiver or
12:57
Speaker 1: a running back. Well, obviously there are examples of quote
13:01
Speaker 1: unquote franchise quarterbacks that don't see it right to a Kyler,
13:06
Speaker 1: But look at the league right now. Find me a
13:09
Speaker 1: quarterback that you view as good that has signed a
13:13
Speaker 1: contract extension that hasn't seen seen every penny. Mahomes, Josh Allen,
13:18
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, Justin Herbert, Joe Burrell. They have not only
13:23
Speaker 1: seen every penny of their contract, they will continue to
13:25
Speaker 1: see every penny. They're not getting cut. Then you go
13:28
Speaker 1: to that next tier. Purdy's gonna see every penny for
13:31
Speaker 1: the foreseeable future. Dak Prescott, Jared Goff. I mean, Jalen
13:36
Speaker 1: Hurts is kind of the wild card. He's definitely a
13:38
Speaker 1: little bit of a wildcard right now. But the majority
13:41
Speaker 1: of guys that you view as top Jordan Love going nowhere.
13:45
Speaker 1: These guys that are franchise quarterbacks, good quarterbacks. Starting quarterback
13:49
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, polarizing guy, like he ain't going anywhere, so
13:53
Speaker 1: like it's pretty rare. That's why when a Kyler or
13:56
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. Obviously I was wrong in the sense that
14:00
Speaker 1: it does happen, but you have to be a train
14:04
Speaker 1: wreck to get cut, right, typically get traded. So when
14:10
Speaker 1: you look at Tua and Kyler and uh, who's Russell
14:17
Speaker 1: and Denver? I mean those are examples of like look
14:19
Speaker 1: at Deshaun Watson. Now granted his contracts fully guaranteed, so
14:22
Speaker 1: it doesn't even matter. I just think wide receivers and
14:26
Speaker 1: running backs are much more likely to get cut on
14:30
Speaker 1: a yearly basis. But even those guys, like if you're
14:34
Speaker 1: really good, google AJ Brown's career earnings, Like he ain't
14:38
Speaker 1: getting cut, you know he's It's like these guys, most
14:42
Speaker 1: of these guys, DJ Moore just got an extension. Most
14:44
Speaker 1: of these guys see the majority of the good players
14:47
Speaker 1: see the money. You know it. It's but that that
14:51
Speaker 1: is twenty percent of the league. Most of the league
14:54
Speaker 1: is that next forty fifty who are like starting players
15:00
Speaker 1: making good money, but like, ah, maybe he's a little overpaid.
15:04
Speaker 1: Like guys get cut all the time because they're in
15:06
Speaker 1: that kind of middle ground. That's the majority of the league. Like,
15:09
Speaker 1: the majority of the league is not Jared Goff, is
15:13
Speaker 1: not Amin Ros Saint Brown or Pine Seul. Right, the
15:16
Speaker 1: majority of the league is like one of their random
15:18
Speaker 1: defensive tackles who plays fifty percent of the snaps the
15:21
Speaker 1: last four years for one of the best teams in
15:23
Speaker 1: the league, the Detroit Lions. Right, it's not Aiden Hutchison, Like,
15:29
Speaker 1: that guy's an out wire, right, Aaron Donald, Trent Williams,
15:33
Speaker 1: Like those guys see every penny of their contract and
15:35
Speaker 1: if anything, they always get raises. But most guys are
15:38
Speaker 1: like the guard next to them. Aaron Banks, who gets
15:42
Speaker 1: a big contract from the Packers, will get cut if
15:45
Speaker 1: he doesn't step his shit up this year. It'll just
15:48
Speaker 1: he will last two years for the Packers and get cut.
15:50
Speaker 1: But if you become a good to obviously a high
15:54
Speaker 1: end starter, you just don't get cut. If anything, when
16:00
Speaker 1: you need that third raise, you get traded. Classic Belichick thing.
16:04
Speaker 1: He always traded those guys in their third contract. Obviously,
16:08
Speaker 1: if you get injured and your play falls off. Huge
16:12
Speaker 1: Eagles fan, but not delusional. Jalen isn't a perfect player
16:17
Speaker 1: or teammate leader, but it's widely reported over the past year.
16:22
Speaker 1: He's aware of his leadership style and has actively worked
16:25
Speaker 1: to fix this. Regarding the article, why is this all
16:29
Speaker 1: on Jalen? Didn't we all watch the play calling under
16:32
Speaker 1: Potolo when Jalen had real, legit play callers. More in Steichen,
16:37
Speaker 1: he outplayed Mahomes in both Super Bowls. He can clearly play.
16:41
Speaker 1: It's at least half of this the product of an
16:44
Speaker 1: incompetent offensive scheme. Also, there's nothing weaker than anonymous source
16:49
Speaker 1: that easily could have been Potolo. Why aren't you and
16:53
Speaker 1: the NFL media looking at it from Jalen's angle instead
16:57
Speaker 1: of crucifying the guy, at least present both sides, Because
17:01
Speaker 1: what the article said is they will tell him to
17:03
Speaker 1: go under center and he will not go. That is
17:06
Speaker 1: well known in NFL circles. He will not go under
17:09
Speaker 1: center and had to be talked to by different people
17:12
Speaker 1: to at least attempt to facilitate that. He will no
17:15
Speaker 1: longer run. That is something that he does not want
17:18
Speaker 1: to do. So like those things, Kevin got fired, like
17:23
Speaker 1: his head rolled. You know, Jalen's on scholarship right because
17:28
Speaker 1: of his contract, So like nothing can happen, and he's
17:31
Speaker 1: a made man. They can't do anything with him, and honestly,
17:34
Speaker 1: they don't even want to. He's kind of set for
17:36
Speaker 1: the next two years. The Eagles don't want to eat
17:38
Speaker 1: dead cap next year if next year's a disaster. But
17:41
Speaker 1: when you won't run plays, the coaching staff wants you
17:45
Speaker 1: to run like and your best attribute beside the deep
17:50
Speaker 1: ball is running not doing it well, what are you
17:53
Speaker 1: supposed to say that to me? Like, those sources aren't
18:00
Speaker 1: just Kevin Petula, It's well established. And this gets back
18:03
Speaker 1: to my AJ Jalen thing, Like Jalen's just when you
18:08
Speaker 1: you know the way I took it, and listen, I'm
18:11
Speaker 1: not acting like AJ's perfect by any means, but I
18:15
Speaker 1: think he is kind of the lone guy willing to
18:17
Speaker 1: Like I don't give a fuck, so I will say
18:19
Speaker 1: what I think because I know none of you guys
18:21
Speaker 1: are gonna do it publicly obviously privately. There's been lots
18:26
Speaker 1: of discussions, but I think it has to do a
18:28
Speaker 1: lot with football, right, like will not run certain place
18:33
Speaker 1: and if you won't get under center, that limits what
18:37
Speaker 1: we can do well. Now with this new offense, you
18:38
Speaker 1: got no choice and that to me was the bat signal,
18:41
Speaker 1: like we're doing this so that stuff that used to
18:44
Speaker 1: happen is not gonna fly anymore. And he'd be like, well,
18:46
Speaker 1: why didn't they keep that under raps? I think they
18:48
Speaker 1: had for a couple of years. And you can win
18:51
Speaker 1: with issues. What does winning do band aid the issues?
18:54
Speaker 1: What happens when you have a weird season and lead
18:56
Speaker 1: the league in three and outs and everyone's making funny
18:58
Speaker 1: and people are egging the OC's house. Who is the
19:00
Speaker 1: head coach's best friend? What was the article last year?
19:03
Speaker 1: Jalen and this was after the Super Bowl, was butting
19:06
Speaker 1: heads with sirianni and with Kellen Moore. They won because
19:11
Speaker 1: they had one of the greatest running back seasons of
19:13
Speaker 1: all time in an elite defense when he had psych
19:16
Speaker 1: and he ran. If he's not gonna run anymore, he's
19:19
Speaker 1: gonna be an average player, period, point blank, unless they
19:22
Speaker 1: lead the league in rushing, which they're gonna try to
19:24
Speaker 1: do this year. I don't know what Jayalen would say.
19:29
Speaker 1: I mean, he'd probably say like, I don't know, man,
19:34
Speaker 1: I think the best people to hear would be from
19:37
Speaker 1: which they never will when they're on the team. It's like,
19:40
Speaker 1: what's Lane Johnson's sake, what's Jordan my Lota's take? Sakwan's
19:44
Speaker 1: been there for two years? What's his thoughts? What's Sirianni's thoughts? Again,
19:49
Speaker 1: these people will never talk right so about this situation,
19:54
Speaker 1: but that to me would be interesting. What do those
19:57
Speaker 1: guys think? DeVante Smith? Then eight, we've heard agent like
20:01
Speaker 1: Davante you got any takes? Because I bet they do,
20:05
Speaker 1: but they're not podcasting, they don't have to give them out.

Speaker 1: New Jersey, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia. I love the pod. I
22:07
Speaker 1: watched every episode for the mailback. Why do teams draft
22:10
Speaker 1: multiple receivers in the first round. I understand it's a
22:13
Speaker 1: team only when the Vikings took it's a team only
22:16
Speaker 1: need when the Vikings took Addison. But when a team
22:19
Speaker 1: has Malik Neighbors or a team like the Jets is
22:21
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson, I cannot understand why they would opt for
22:25
Speaker 1: a wide receiver too in the first when they could
22:27
Speaker 1: take a position that is less likely to hit in
22:30
Speaker 1: the in the later rounds offensive lineman, defensive lineman. Every
22:34
Speaker 1: single year there are starting receivers going on Day two,
22:37
Speaker 1: yet teams seem to prioritize the position in such a
22:40
Speaker 1: way they'll use first round picks on a guy who
22:44
Speaker 1: will play second fiddle on Sundays. Because this gets to this.
22:47
Speaker 1: You know, when you say we take the best player available,
22:52
Speaker 1: we do not factor in need. I do believe that's
22:55
Speaker 1: a little stupid, because if your best player available as
22:58
Speaker 1: a guard and you already got two guards, it's like,
23:03
Speaker 1: is there that big of a difference of the other
23:05
Speaker 1: defensive lineman or tight end or wide receiver or corner.
23:10
Speaker 1: But I think sometimes you get to a place where
23:13
Speaker 1: it's like the wide receiver is way better than everyone
23:15
Speaker 1: else on the board, and you don't want to force
23:18
Speaker 1: well we need an edge rusher. Well we don't love
23:21
Speaker 1: any of these edge rushers here. Now that's all personal preference,
23:24
Speaker 1: but I think that's typically the situation these teams find
23:28
Speaker 1: themselves into because they go I forget where they took
23:31
Speaker 1: Jordan Addison in the twenties, right, twenty two, twenty three,
23:34
Speaker 1: twenty It's like, do we need a wide receiver? No,
23:38
Speaker 1: but we think this guy's a baller. So it's like
23:42
Speaker 1: i'd have to look at who went after Jordan Addison,
23:44
Speaker 1: but how many guys. Let's just do that exercise type
23:48
Speaker 1: in Jordan Addison, they took him twenty three. Let's just
23:53
Speaker 1: rattle off some picks after that. Deontay Banks quarterback Giants.
24:00
Speaker 1: You tell me, Dalton Kinkaid tight end, Utah, you take
24:04
Speaker 1: Jordan Addison, Maze Smith DT Michigan, you take Addison? Jacksonville
24:12
Speaker 1: took Anton Harrison Oklahoma. I mean games. This guy started
24:19
Speaker 1: as a rookie, started seventeen games, twenty forty stars. So
24:21
Speaker 1: he's been a full time starter for him. The Eagles
24:26
Speaker 1: took Nolan Smith, so it's like, would you rather have
24:29
Speaker 1: Nolan Smith than Jordan Addison Joey Porter Junior. But see
24:34
Speaker 1: at the time, Sam Laporta, I mean, I don't know.
24:37
Speaker 1: It's I think it's easier said than done. Now I'm
24:40
Speaker 1: with you. In the top ten, this was hardboss thing.
24:44
Speaker 1: It's like, take my leak neighbors. He's like, no, I'm
24:46
Speaker 1: taking Joel. Like, I think we all agree with that.
24:49
Speaker 1: I think it does get difficult though, when you use
24:52
Speaker 1: the Jordan Addison example, because once you get to the twenties,
24:55
Speaker 1: there's a chance Jordan Addison was their highest player on
24:57
Speaker 1: the board by far. When you're getting those situations, I
25:01
Speaker 1: would say, mistakes happen when you avoid the top player
25:07
Speaker 1: on your board and go, well, we'd be better off
25:11
Speaker 1: taking a pass rusher here. Most of these pass rushers
25:14
Speaker 1: pick twenty we got in the second round, but just
25:16
Speaker 1: take the highest guy on the board. I think that's
25:18
Speaker 1: where you get in trouble. Your listeners should be called
25:22
Speaker 1: the scouts. You're a former scout and your followers now
25:25
Speaker 1: I act like content scouts, bringing you mailback questions and
25:28
Speaker 1: topics for you to break down. I like that. Also,
25:31
Speaker 1: please rank the NFC North starting quarterbacks through four going
25:35
Speaker 1: into the upcoming season. Uh so, who do we got?
25:39
Speaker 1: We got Caleb, we got Love, we got Golf, and
25:43
Speaker 1: we got Kyler Murray. Kyler Murray's last It's a pretty
25:46
Speaker 1: good question, you know, two years ago, I think it
25:49
Speaker 1: would have you know, GoF clearly, I'd probably go. Here's
25:57
Speaker 1: the thing, Caleb's Caleb's high end is higher than all
26:03
Speaker 1: these guys. But to me, he would probably it's weird,
26:07
Speaker 1: like he made plays against Jordan Love in the biggest
26:11
Speaker 1: moments that Jordan couldn't make. So but if you look
26:14
Speaker 1: at Jordan Love's like, to me, Jared Goff's one. He's
26:17
Speaker 1: been doing it now. I mean his last three years
26:19
Speaker 1: in Detroit, four years in Detroit twenty nine to seven,
26:23
Speaker 1: thirty twelve, thirty seven twelve, last year thirty four eight,
26:27
Speaker 1: and you know, the offensive coordinator was a disaster. Now
26:30
Speaker 1: he can't move like Caleb. But to me, he's established one.
26:35
Speaker 1: Now he could be knocked off. I'd probably go Jared Goff.
26:43
Speaker 1: I mean, Jordan Love's been doing a little longer and
26:47
Speaker 1: statistically is probably better. I don't know what were Caleb's
26:51
Speaker 1: I mean touchdown throws last year. I know he didn't
26:55
Speaker 1: throw that many picks, but he was last year twenty
27:01
Speaker 1: seven and seven. I think you go Jared Goff, Caleb,
27:05
Speaker 1: Jordan Love. But to me Caleb and Dan like Jordan
27:08
Speaker 1: Love's a good player too, and to me, Kyler's a
27:11
Speaker 1: dis and Forth pretty good. Those three teams feel pretty
27:14
Speaker 1: good by their quarterbacks coming into the season. I think
27:17
Speaker 1: the Lions are gonna bounce back. What would you do
27:21
Speaker 1: if you were the Bucks with Baker? Do you extend
27:23
Speaker 1: him or do you let the season play out? And
27:26
Speaker 1: what price do you think he gets his twenty seven
27:30
Speaker 1: to twenty four with the Bucks in a week division.
27:33
Speaker 1: I'm not a Bucks fan, but I'm curious. To me,
27:35
Speaker 1: this is your automatic let it roll? Like the last
27:39
Speaker 1: year of his contract. Weird season last year, he was
27:42
Speaker 1: banged up. He signed a very very team friendly, that
27:47
Speaker 1: kind of middle ground of a quarterback. Well, guys don't
27:50
Speaker 1: take pay cuts, so if he was going to sign
27:53
Speaker 1: an extension, he would probably want forty to forty five
27:56
Speaker 1: million dollars a year. To me, best case scenario, Baker
28:00
Speaker 1: throws like thirty eight touchdowns and the Bucks win eleven
28:04
Speaker 1: twelve games. You're Jason lt You're like, okay, no problem.
28:07
Speaker 1: But to me, this is we have gotten away unless
28:11
Speaker 1: you're the elite of the elite. What happened to the
28:13
Speaker 1: play it out? It used to happen in sports NonStop,
28:16
Speaker 1: specifically football, and it doesn't happen as much anymore. To me,
28:20
Speaker 1: it's an auto play this season out and who's the
28:24
Speaker 1: best version of Baker chip on his shoulder trying to
28:27
Speaker 1: prove somebody you know? This year's like okay, and I
28:30
Speaker 1: was guilty of this too. Put money on him for MVP,
28:33
Speaker 1: right fifty to one, pretty good odds, but he just
28:37
Speaker 1: got banged up and it kind of fell apart. Even
28:41
Speaker 1: early in the season. One day start like four and one,
28:43
Speaker 1: but they had three of the four games were crazy
28:45
Speaker 1: comebacks in the last minute. They easily could have been
28:48
Speaker 1: like zero to five. I hear so many people say
28:52
Speaker 1: one of the keys to winning a Super Bowl is
28:54
Speaker 1: having a quarterback on a rookie contract so that you
28:56
Speaker 1: can build around them. I think this is part of
28:58
Speaker 1: a quarterback inflation is discussion that people have so wrong
29:01
Speaker 1: since the eleven CBA, when contracts became predetermined quarterbacks on
29:06
Speaker 1: a rookie contractor two and seven in the Super Bowl
29:10
Speaker 1: with Russell and Patrick being the ones to win it.
29:13
Speaker 1: Russell was elite and had an all star supporting cast,
29:16
Speaker 1: and Mahomes is an all time talent with a Hall
29:18
Speaker 1: of Fame career. I think some believe that if you
29:22
Speaker 1: draft a semi capable guy, you can put enough pieces
29:25
Speaker 1: around him to win a ring. There is no formula
29:28
Speaker 1: to winning a Super Bowl, and drafting a high ceiling
29:31
Speaker 1: player never means he'll reach the ceiling, especially if you're
29:34
Speaker 1: a franchise like the Jets. He just took some trapnel there.
29:38
Speaker 1: Here's the thing you acted like the five losses, the
29:41
Speaker 1: two and seven is a bad thing. Like the Patriots
29:45
Speaker 1: making the Super Bowl this year. I know they got
29:47
Speaker 1: their ass kicked in it, but that's an incredible accomplishment,
29:51
Speaker 1: Like they're really excited for that, Like that was a
29:53
Speaker 1: big deal. That was a really really big deal. So
29:59
Speaker 1: losing in the Super Bowl with a quarterback on a
30:01
Speaker 1: rookie contract is if the Bears made the Super Bowl
30:05
Speaker 1: next year and lost, where the Broncos and made the
30:08
Speaker 1: Super Bowl this year and lost, it's fucking awesome. Like
30:11
Speaker 1: that is that's a win. So I don't view a
30:15
Speaker 1: loss in the Super Bowl with a quarterback on a
30:17
Speaker 1: rookie contract as a bad thing. Making the Super Bowl
30:21
Speaker 1: is really, really difficult to do, so I would push
30:24
Speaker 1: back a little bit on that one, but I agree
30:27
Speaker 1: there's no like if Patrick Mahomes and josh Allen Lamar
30:31
Speaker 1: Jackson are all dominating and bawling, good luck beating them
30:35
Speaker 1: with a rookie quarterback. Why was Collin's biggest take on
30:38
Speaker 1: the Niners last year about having to give up quote
30:41
Speaker 1: huge impact players for Perty's contract, especially Greenlaw and Ufunga,
30:46
Speaker 1: And now Drake comes back to the Niners and there
30:48
Speaker 1: isn't one word about it. Just find it funny. Tears
30:50
Speaker 1: Acl hyped up, walked on the field in Super Bowl.
30:53
Speaker 1: Kyle and Lynch let Hufunga and Greenlaw go because of money,
30:57
Speaker 1: but injury prone. Neither got praise for how good they
31:00
Speaker 1: were before all of it till they let them go.
31:03
Speaker 1: Now Greenlaw's back, and no talk on the Warner reuniting
31:06
Speaker 1: to try to finish unfinished business. Green Law was pretty
31:09
Speaker 1: bad last year, so I love Dre Greenlaw, but there
31:13
Speaker 1: is a chance his body's kind of breaking down. You know, Colin,
31:18
Speaker 1: the Seattle guy, not behind the Niners. So that's my
31:23
Speaker 1: role here is to push back on the Niner eight.
31:26
Speaker 1: But the green law thing, while it is cool and
31:28
Speaker 1: I'm excited, I gotta be real about it, it might not work.
31:34
Speaker 1: A lot of people have you considered middle men? I
31:38
Speaker 1: think we's got to call him the middlemen. You guys
31:39
Speaker 1: are middlemen, middle ladies, middlemen. We'll love to know how
31:44
Speaker 1: you think the Rams would approach paying these younger players.
31:47
Speaker 1: In twenty three, the Rams drafted Puka Byron Young, Steve Avila,
31:52
Speaker 1: Kobe Turner, and Moore. I think the Rams will have
31:54
Speaker 1: to make some serious decisions over the next twelve months. Also,
31:57
Speaker 1: I think good name for your listeners would be the Middlemen. Well,
32:01
Speaker 1: Puka's the number one, Like, are we giving him one
32:03
Speaker 1: hundred and ten hundred and twenty million dollars guaranteed? And
32:06
Speaker 1: that's why he's in this Malibu rehab. I guess it's
32:11
Speaker 1: not truly like a Betty Ford clinic. It's like a
32:17
Speaker 1: rehab for the elite rich people like I don't think
32:20
Speaker 1: me and you for just having a drinking problem or
32:22
Speaker 1: just checking in there. But to me, that's their number
32:26
Speaker 1: one question mark. But now if you think about it, Stafford,
32:30
Speaker 1: if this is last year, they're gonna have some quarterback money.
32:33
Speaker 1: Open up verse. I know, statistically hasn't been great, but
32:37
Speaker 1: he's still a very very He's gonna be a very
32:38
Speaker 1: very expensive player. Byron Young's gonna get paid. McDuffie just
32:42
Speaker 1: got a huge contract, pookah. But they do have a
32:45
Speaker 1: lot of cheap younger players on both sides of the ball.
32:50
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, this is where it gets difficult.
32:53
Speaker 1: But if Stafford comes off the books and you don't
32:58
Speaker 1: have I don't know what they're gonna a quarterback. I
33:00
Speaker 1: mean that's if Matt Stafford were to trying to bring
33:07
Speaker 1: up his contract. So right now, Matt Stafford signed a
33:11
Speaker 1: two year, two year, eighty million dollars. So this year
33:19
Speaker 1: he's his cap fits forty eight million dollars. Cap is
33:24
Speaker 1: not small, but they did all these boy years, so
33:28
Speaker 1: I don't exactly know the dead cap. They'll still have
33:30
Speaker 1: a dead cap for Matt Stafford over the next couple
33:32
Speaker 1: of years. How much do they have to pay Matts?
33:35
Speaker 1: They have to pay Matt Stafford forty million dollars a
33:37
Speaker 1: year in cash. This year's two million bucks so that
33:41
Speaker 1: they would they would have a big opening when it
33:44
Speaker 1: came to money. Any chance Juwan Jennings ends up on
33:48
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. This makes it much less of a need
33:53
Speaker 1: to take a wide receiver in the first second round
33:56
Speaker 1: and keep Juju around for years just for his blocking.
34:00
Speaker 1: Could all see the Chargers, as I feel like he
34:01
Speaker 1: fits Harbaugh. I could see the Chargers. I have a
34:05
Speaker 1: hard time Andy like speed, right, you got Juju like
34:10
Speaker 1: they like explosive players down the field, So I have
34:15
Speaker 1: a hard time seeing that unless he comes really cheap.
34:18
Speaker 1: And then he's basically like a version of Kelsey, you know,
34:22
Speaker 1: playing in the slot, using his body over the middle
34:24
Speaker 1: of the field, big on first downs. But that's kind
34:27
Speaker 1: of Kelsey's role, I mean Kelsey does. Kelsey is the
34:31
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame version of Juwan Jennings. Big, physical, great
34:36
Speaker 1: over the middle of the field, Incredible on third down,
34:39
Speaker 1: great in the red zone. I mean that's he kind
34:41
Speaker 1: of has that role already. Market corner on the Chiefs
34:47
Speaker 1: from Nashville area. Love the pod. I listen every morning
34:49
Speaker 1: on the way to work. I'm a law enforcement officer
34:51
Speaker 1: in a similar county. As far as crime to Jupiter, Florida.
34:55
Speaker 1: I bring this up because of what you said about
34:57
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods being in a jail cell. Mike County that
34:59
Speaker 1: I working has had multiple athletes, Jay Cutler, Shaq Mason,
35:03
Speaker 1: some country singers, Darius Rucker and others. I get the
35:07
Speaker 1: same question every time and it cracks me up. People
35:09
Speaker 1: ask me if they're in general pop and it makes
35:13
Speaker 1: me laugh. These guys go to jail for literally five minutes.
35:17
Speaker 1: They have the best attorney who no joke goes and
35:20
Speaker 1: walks them to the jail cell. Athletes and celebs getting
35:23
Speaker 1: arrested in wealthy counties who don't have a lot of
35:26
Speaker 1: crime is so different than the public thinks. Jeffrey Dahmer
35:30
Speaker 1: is not hanging out in a county jail cell mixing
35:33
Speaker 1: it up with Tiger Woods. Yeah, I mean, I guess
35:37
Speaker 1: Tiger because of a dui. Tiger is like a criminal history.
35:41
Speaker 1: You know, Tiger's has some incidents, especially in the car.
35:45
Speaker 1: But I hear you, like you, one of these guys
35:47
Speaker 1: gets a little trouble, Morgan Wallen throwing the chair off,
35:49
Speaker 1: Darius Jerry's get a dewey in Nashville. Is that what
35:53
Speaker 1: happened to Cutler too? Aren't there some rules. If you
35:55
Speaker 1: get a dewey and you're drunk, do you have to
35:58
Speaker 1: stay in the drunk tank till you sober up? For
36:00
Speaker 1: he can blow a zero zero. That's gotta be gotta
36:04
Speaker 1: suck when you kind of come to and you sober
36:06
Speaker 1: up and you got the pounding headache and you're blowing.
36:09
Speaker 1: But I'm with you. People always think that. One My
36:13
Speaker 1: question is this, Like you said, if you were in
36:15
Speaker 1: a rich county or in a rich area, right, well,
36:19
Speaker 1: what typically in those areas not as much crime? What
36:22
Speaker 1: do you think they're like the county jail cell where
36:26
Speaker 1: the people that patrol that area looks like probably a
36:29
Speaker 1: little different than like East Oakland, right or South Central LA,
36:36
Speaker 1: the hood in Phoenix. You know, it's like it ain't
36:39
Speaker 1: the same. If I turn the corner tonight and got
36:42
Speaker 1: a duy, I'm not even gonna have a cocktail. But
36:45
Speaker 1: the total hypothetical no drink in driving here and I
36:47
Speaker 1: got hauled off to the wherever in North Scottsdale, It'd
36:50
Speaker 1: probably be a little different vibe than if I went,
36:53
Speaker 1: you know, forty five minutes that way toward Glendale and Phoenix.
36:58
Speaker 1: So I hear what you're saying the tiger stuff honestly
37:03
Speaker 1: for me, And again maybe it's like the little kid
37:07
Speaker 1: in me. I loved watching him so much. He meant
37:10
Speaker 1: so much to entertainment. And maybe it's as a father,
37:14
Speaker 1: you know, I found it really cool, you know, in
37:17
Speaker 1: this ladder part of the last like four or five years,
37:21
Speaker 1: him playing in that father son tournament with Charlie Man.
37:24
Speaker 1: I'm just a sucker for that. I got no joy
37:28
Speaker 1: in any of this. I really didn't. People just making
37:32
Speaker 1: fun of him the whole thing, like, I just not
37:37
Speaker 1: for me. You know, it's not for me. I'm not
37:40
Speaker 1: condoning anything, not condoning anything. But I usually love shit
37:45
Speaker 1: like that. This is one of those things that people
37:49
Speaker 1: all my friends million text chains sending me from the
37:55
Speaker 1: It was the line like when he's like, h sir,
37:58
Speaker 1: come over here. You can't be on the phone over there,
38:00
Speaker 1: And when he walks by Isaac just talking to the president.
38:03
Speaker 1: I mean, that's truly one of the greatest lines in
38:06
Speaker 1: bodycam footage. But the stuff where he's like in the back,
38:10
Speaker 1: I just not for me, not for me. It's it's sad. Also,
38:16
Speaker 1: though I don't see why people can't comprehend this. He
38:21
Speaker 1: has had his back fuse together. He does not have
38:24
Speaker 1: a normal leg. I mean, there's a decent chance he's
38:27
Speaker 1: got like a prosthetic thing going on down there. His
38:31
Speaker 1: other knee was completely destroyed. I think he said when
38:35
Speaker 1: he got the they still have a different name for
38:39
Speaker 1: duy because when you say d y, I think drunk.
38:42
Speaker 1: When when I hear pills or weed or under the
38:44
Speaker 1: influence of other stuff that it should be. Is that
38:46
Speaker 1: DWI driving with influence? I just wish there was a
38:50
Speaker 1: different whatever he was doing. Do you understand that Tiger
38:54
Speaker 1: has been playing? I told them most the other day.
38:57
Speaker 1: It's like, golf isn't just his life. It's the only
39:00
Speaker 1: thing he's ever done. Since two years old he was
39:04
Speaker 1: on television hitting a golf ball. He literally started playing
39:07
Speaker 1: and dominating. So it's like, yeah, Peyton man, he started
39:11
Speaker 1: throwing a football when he was five or six. How
39:13
Speaker 1: good was he at twelve? You know, Okay, it's one
39:16
Speaker 1: thing to get good in high school. Tiger Woods was
39:18
Speaker 1: a fucking prodigy at like six. It's his entire life.
39:23
Speaker 1: And then as he became a professional, the other thing
39:26
Speaker 1: that came into his life was working out. So he
39:28
Speaker 1: truly does besides his family. Two things they're like, make
39:31
Speaker 1: him go working out and playing golf. He could not
39:35
Speaker 1: do any of those, which is just any those two
39:40
Speaker 1: without the pills, with all the surgeries. Like if me
39:43
Speaker 1: or you were in that position, we would never play
39:46
Speaker 1: golf or lift weights. Why our body wouldn't be able
39:49
Speaker 1: to handle it. But that's like the only thing he
39:52
Speaker 1: can do because that's how he's wired. Because without golf,
39:55
Speaker 1: who the fuck is Tiger Woods? And that's why I
39:58
Speaker 1: think when you know who knows he going out of country,
40:01
Speaker 1: he's clearly very I don't even think insecures the wrong word,
40:05
Speaker 1: because he's not wrong about the privacy thing. He doesn't
40:09
Speaker 1: trust anybody. He thinks anywhere he goes things will become public.
40:13
Speaker 1: And again he's not wrong. But if they like, if
40:18
Speaker 1: you think that he is just going to acknowledge you
40:20
Speaker 1: can no longer take the opioids that make him feel
40:24
Speaker 1: better and allow him to practice and play golf and
40:27
Speaker 1: attempt to come back and lift weights. Like again, I
40:33
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be way more challenging than like whoknakup at?
40:37
Speaker 1: This thing is like, yeah, bro, maybe alcoholic for you,
40:40
Speaker 1: Like you cannot have a sip alcohol, you can become
40:44
Speaker 1: completely sober and dominate your career. Tiger. If he goes like,
40:50
Speaker 1: oh you can have his advilts like well, your golfing
40:52
Speaker 1: career is done, It's like, well why does he retire
40:55
Speaker 1: easier said than done? All he's ever done. It's it.
41:01
Speaker 1: It is like his defining attribute as a human being
41:05
Speaker 1: being able to play golf. He literally in that photo
41:08
Speaker 1: which I'm fascinated by, he has golf shoes on. Clearly
41:14
Speaker 1: he's I mean, he's a member of probably every country
41:16
Speaker 1: club down there typically, and you know someone that drives
41:20
Speaker 1: back and forth from the golf course. I either do
41:23
Speaker 1: two things. One, if you're at a club, you know,
41:25
Speaker 1: and you have a locker, you just leave your shoes
41:28
Speaker 1: in the locker. Or two, I put my shoes in
41:31
Speaker 1: the trunk like his range. I had tahoe pop the trunk,
41:35
Speaker 1: put my clubs back there, put my shoes, grab my
41:37
Speaker 1: sandals right or it was colder, grabbed my tennis shoes.
41:41
Speaker 1: I've never that I can remember driven in golf shoes.
41:44
Speaker 1: He was in his golf shoes, and it was pretty
41:47
Speaker 1: clear he's coming home from the golf course. Maybe said
41:49
Speaker 1: he was going there. I forget because again I couldn't
41:51
Speaker 1: listen to it. But it's like who drives in their
41:54
Speaker 1: golf shoes. Hacker's money clip was a paper clip, one
41:59
Speaker 1: of those things that the the paper, the thing that
42:01
Speaker 1: holds paper together. Like, Tiger, what are you doing? He
42:06
Speaker 1: also and again I saw a lot of still shots people.
42:09
Speaker 1: I mean, I've gotten a million things forward to me
42:12
Speaker 1: about Tiger Woods. I've been a money clip guy now
42:15
Speaker 1: for probably a decade. And obviously you go on stretches,
42:18
Speaker 1: we don't even have cash on you. If I'm going
42:20
Speaker 1: to have cash, I would never have ones on the outside.
42:25
Speaker 1: It just wouldn't exist. I either have twenties on the
42:27
Speaker 1: outside or nothing. I would just put the ones or
42:31
Speaker 1: the fives in my pocket. Right if I don't have
42:34
Speaker 1: a twenty on the outside, now you could have five,
42:37
Speaker 1: seven ones, two tens and a twenty on the outside
42:40
Speaker 1: to make it look thick. Tiger had ones on the outside,
42:43
Speaker 1: Like what this guy's Tiger's a weird cat man. He's
42:48
Speaker 1: a weird cat. But if you think that he's just
42:49
Speaker 1: going cold turkey on the stuff that allows him to
42:52
Speaker 1: do the two things that literally make him go golf
42:57
Speaker 1: and working out, Because if he goes cold, no more
43:01
Speaker 1: of the good stuff, and again I'm not get a
43:04
Speaker 1: driver or whatever. But at this point, here's the other thing.
43:08
Speaker 1: I've thought way too much about this. Tiger Wood's problem
43:14
Speaker 1: is he is notoriously cheap. And I've said this forever
43:19
Speaker 1: about people in the NFL, some of these owners. It
43:22
Speaker 1: is a disease. It obviously doesn't affect It can't kill you.
43:27
Speaker 1: I mean it could, I guess if you deny care
43:30
Speaker 1: on stuff. But it's something you never shake and you
43:33
Speaker 1: don't go to You don't go to Malibu with Puka
43:37
Speaker 1: Nakua to fix that. So when you're super cheap, you go,
43:40
Speaker 1: I don't. We don't need to do that. He should
43:42
Speaker 1: have had a guy for decades on staff that his
43:47
Speaker 1: only role was to drive the guy around, and twenty
43:50
Speaker 1: five years ago it could have paid him eighty grand,
43:53
Speaker 1: seventy grand, maybe paid his apartment bill. Tiger wouldn't even
43:57
Speaker 1: have noticed it. And at this point in time, twenty
44:00
Speaker 1: five years later, the guy would have been like your
44:02
Speaker 1: big dom. He would have been like family, probably be
44:05
Speaker 1: on the payroll for like a million bucks a year,
44:07
Speaker 1: again a number Tiger wouldn't even notice. Let's say five
44:10
Speaker 1: hundred grand. He bought his house in Jupiter. Wherever you go,
44:15
Speaker 1: he comes with you. Whenever you want to do something,
44:18
Speaker 1: he's there with you. But it goes back to being cheap,
44:22
Speaker 1: like Tiger's got. Some of these buddies who are clearly
44:24
Speaker 1: on the payroll, they ain't fucking pulling their weight. Tell
44:27
Speaker 1: you that much. And it's why early on, before the
44:31
Speaker 1: privacy was even talked about, you know, back in the
44:34
Speaker 1: late nineties, early two thousands, it should have happened and
44:37
Speaker 1: he wouldn't have that problem. You know, you've never heard
44:40
Speaker 1: about getting a dewey Michael. You know you don't see
44:43
Speaker 1: you driving a car that often, Michael ing Lebron's driving around.
44:49
Speaker 1: I think a lot of these guys driving around. I
44:51
Speaker 1: like driving as much as the next guy. But these
44:55
Speaker 1: are easily avoidable. When again, think about this paying someone
45:01
Speaker 1: a million dollars. These people are in a situation where
45:05
Speaker 1: they would not notice, where it'd be like me or
45:08
Speaker 1: you giving someone a hundred bucks, twenty bucks. Maybe you're
45:13
Speaker 1: doing well, a thousand bucks. You don't even notice. But
45:18
Speaker 1: you're at this point in time, it's too late, it's
45:21
Speaker 1: not even possible. He's too famous. He's like I mean
45:25
Speaker 1: at this point, he's elvist Michael Jackson. I mean, I
45:29
Speaker 1: think he's I personally think he's the most famous athlete
45:32
Speaker 1: in my life after probably Michael than him. The difference
45:39
Speaker 1: between him and Michael, though, is because we're talking worldwide,
45:43
Speaker 1: you know, like Tom Brady ain't famous worldwide like these
45:45
Speaker 1: guys Lebron Steph. But it's like to me, Michael and
45:49
Speaker 1: Tiger were famous before the fucking Internet existed, before the
45:55
Speaker 1: you know, Amazon Prime was broadcasting the Lakers thunder. That
45:58
Speaker 1: was a good game, all right, fellas. Let's be real.
46:08
Speaker 1: Buying men's jewelry used to be a nightmare. It was
46:11
Speaker 1: low quality junk that snapped after a week. We've all
46:13
Speaker 1: been there. That's why I rock with GLD. They changed
46:18
Speaker 1: the game. Many of you have participated as well. You
46:22
Speaker 1: know that GLD uses real gold, none of that cheap stuff.
46:25
Speaker 1: Every single stone is meticulously handset. Plus the proprietary production
46:31
Speaker 1: process make sure you're getting the highest quality jewelry possible.
46:35
Speaker 1: You could literally see and feel the difference, and listen,
46:39
Speaker 1: don't just take my word for it. Over two million
46:42
Speaker 1: customers and fifty thousand five star reviews back it up.
46:46
Speaker 1: Not to mention. It's worn by some of the biggest
46:48
Speaker 1: names out there, Justin Bieber, Micah Parsons, Tyreek Hill, Malik Daghbors,
46:54
Speaker 1: and a ton more guys. The best part, every single
46:57
Speaker 1: piece is guaran teed for life. It's literally built to
47:01
Speaker 1: last that long for life. GLD has official collabs with
47:05
Speaker 1: the NFL, so you can get every NFL team on
47:08
Speaker 1: a pendant this season. They also have collabs with the NBA,
47:11
Speaker 1: the WNBA, Major League Baseball, NCAA, and many more. GLD
47:15
Speaker 1: can create fully customed pieces, so get whatever you want
47:19
Speaker 1: designed on one of your chains. Work hard and change
47:22
Speaker 1: the game. For a limited time only new customers are

Speaker 1: and out to get fifty percent off at GLD dot com.
47:33
Speaker 1: That's fifty percent off with code three and out at
47:36
Speaker 1: GLD dot com. A huge fan of the show as
47:47
Speaker 1: as soon to be father, I have especially come to
47:50
Speaker 1: enjoy the Dad Diaries and sometimes my wife will listen to.
47:53
Speaker 1: On that note, my wife and I have been making
47:55
Speaker 1: a list of last activities we want to do before
47:58
Speaker 1: a baby is born. In May, for example, going to
48:02
Speaker 1: a theater to see a movie. Is there anything other
48:06
Speaker 1: than sleep, you and your wife misdoing you wish you
48:11
Speaker 1: had done a couple more times before your son arrived.
48:16
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, you should just spend a weekend
48:17
Speaker 1: and just call the weekend sleep and just don't even
48:20
Speaker 1: get out of bed. It's a good question, like the
48:26
Speaker 1: ability to just be like, oh, you want to go
48:27
Speaker 1: to dinner tonight doesn't exist, not saying I mean we
48:33
Speaker 1: went out to drinks the other day, and what happened?
48:35
Speaker 1: He got super hungry, you know when appetizers came out,
48:39
Speaker 1: took a gigantic just dumping his pants. Ten minutes after that,
48:45
Speaker 1: started screaming. So it's I would say, basic things of
48:50
Speaker 1: life that you take for granted. I see some of
48:53
Speaker 1: these memes on Instagram. They're so true. Having a baby
48:57
Speaker 1: is then just asking you and your spouse if it's
49:00
Speaker 1: okay to do normal things Like I look at her
49:02
Speaker 1: like can I go to the gym? Or she looks
49:05
Speaker 1: at me like can you hold them so I can
49:06
Speaker 1: take a shower? So it's it's just a way, and
49:12
Speaker 1: it's a good rule win. I mean, it's hard, but
49:15
Speaker 1: it's hard, like there's no to me, just basic things
49:19
Speaker 1: like the movie theater. But I would say dinner as well,
49:23
Speaker 1: like just go out to dinner when you're like, oh,
49:25
Speaker 1: you want to go to night at six seven. You know,
49:27
Speaker 1: it's like you can't even have those conversations for the
49:32
Speaker 1: first seven eight weeks. It's a lot now. Some people
49:34
Speaker 1: are different others. I know, I have more quote unquote
49:38
Speaker 1: social friends whose life didn't really change. But you know,
49:42
Speaker 1: it's just it's it's hard to just you just don't
49:47
Speaker 1: as much free time. So I don't whatever you guys
49:50
Speaker 1: like doing in your quote unquote free time. Obviously every
49:53
Speaker 1: person's different. Try to do some of that. Jim from
49:57
Speaker 1: Australia just want to clear up some of the info
50:00
Speaker 1: you are giving regarding the Australia game in September. In September,
50:03
Speaker 1: Australia is out of daylight savings and the US is
50:07
Speaker 1: in daylight savings, so there is a seventeen hour difference
50:11
Speaker 1: between the US coast and Melbourne, Australia. LAX to Melbourne
50:16
Speaker 1: direct is fifteen and a half hours United to SFO
50:21
Speaker 1: Melbourne is also fifteen and a half hours. In September.
50:23
Speaker 1: When flying from the US to Australia, you will lose
50:26
Speaker 1: a day. So if you leave on a Friday night, US,
50:29
Speaker 1: you will arrive Sunday morning in Australia going from Australia
50:33
Speaker 1: to the US to Gain today. So leaving Melbourne Friday morning,
50:36
Speaker 1: you arrive back on the US Friday morning. So maye,
50:40
Speaker 1: what have I been saying? Seventeen hours? Kyle said, nineteen hours? Yeah,
50:45
Speaker 1: I do. That's to get on a flight for fifteen
50:49
Speaker 1: sixteen hours. That's in the air, right, So even if
50:53
Speaker 1: they charted the plane, loading the plane, I mean, you're
50:57
Speaker 1: talking about a sixteen and a half seventeen hour operation.
51:02
Speaker 1: It's when flying from San Francisco to lax is forty
51:09
Speaker 1: minutes and they'ren't even they're in San Jose. I've never
51:13
Speaker 1: even made that flight. Maybe wheel the wheel, you know,
51:19
Speaker 1: up to touching down. Maybe it's like thirty eight minutes
51:23
Speaker 1: in a private jet'd be really short. But even in
51:25
Speaker 1: a big plan, no more than forty five minutes. So
51:28
Speaker 1: when you tell these guys that, it's like you're playing
51:32
Speaker 1: the Rams and your travel is going to be long.
51:39
Speaker 1: So they are going to if they play on Wednesday,
51:42
Speaker 1: or I guess they play Thursday, so it's Friday. It
51:46
Speaker 1: is already too confusing for me. But they're gonna have
51:48
Speaker 1: to go out. I bet both teams go out. I
51:54
Speaker 1: don't know, Saturday, Saturday or Sunday? Are you know? For
51:59
Speaker 1: us for the Friday game? So they would try to
52:03
Speaker 1: be there the next day. Again, I'm already too confused.
52:07
Speaker 1: Even watching Kyle talk is confusing. The Rams don't love
52:11
Speaker 1: it either, I'm sure, but they clearly like avoiding that
52:16
Speaker 1: home game and just giving it a weird neutral sight
52:18
Speaker 1: Game day listener, What do the Colts do with Anthony
52:22
Speaker 1: Richson as a Colts fan who is still a believer
52:25
Speaker 1: in his physical traits and he is still super young.
52:29
Speaker 1: What can happen? I've always kind of given him a
52:31
Speaker 1: pass for the TapouT situation because the play tapped out
52:34
Speaker 1: on he got smashed on a run that hit directly
52:37
Speaker 1: on his leg. He just recovered from an injury from
52:40
Speaker 1: so I assumed it was a health thing. The physical
52:42
Speaker 1: ability potential is undeniable. Is there any way this can
52:45
Speaker 1: work out with the Colts? Considering the Daniel Jones situation,
52:50
Speaker 1: I heard Chris Ballard say that nothing is imminent, that
52:53
Speaker 1: he wants a trade and he understands it. I do
52:57
Speaker 1: think my guess is he's traded sometime during the draft,
53:01
Speaker 1: but I don't think he's gonna get a shot to start,
53:04
Speaker 1: you know, I think that ship's kind of sailed, you know.
53:06
Speaker 1: To me, he's kind of in that Trey Lance world
53:09
Speaker 1: of like kind of got a start, or he kind
53:11
Speaker 1: of got a shot. It really wasn't that much play.
53:15
Speaker 1: He's way more talented than Trey Lance physically, bigger arm,
53:20
Speaker 1: better athlete. But you know, the one thing Trey Lance
53:24
Speaker 1: had going for him people just like him, you know,
53:26
Speaker 1: people just really he works really hard. You know, people
53:29
Speaker 1: was like, does this guy know what's going on now?
53:31
Speaker 1: Maybe that was a wake up call. Maybe that's changed.
53:33
Speaker 1: Obviously had the bad luck with the band hitting him
53:36
Speaker 1: in the face and shattering his orbital bone. My guess
53:40
Speaker 1: is a team, you know, there are rumors of the
53:43
Speaker 1: Packers someone like that takes a shot and tries to
53:45
Speaker 1: work with him as a backup. I think it makes
53:47
Speaker 1: a lot of sense for the Packers. But part of
53:49
Speaker 1: it too is like, okay, I trade when they traded
53:52
Speaker 1: for Milik Willis, Milik Willis knew is a backup, and
53:54
Speaker 1: when I trade for Anthony Rigis, like you're not the
53:56
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. Your starting career is over right now? Doesn't
53:59
Speaker 1: mean it can It can change in the future, but
54:01
Speaker 1: you're not a starter right now. So if you don't
54:04
Speaker 1: have that in your head, like, you got to change
54:07
Speaker 1: your mindset. And that's what I don't know. Huge Bills fan,
54:11
Speaker 1: I'm hoping they're aggressive in the early rounds of the draft.
54:14
Speaker 1: Rumors the Bills might trade up for an edge rusher.
54:17
Speaker 1: How are picks value? Is something like a trade up
54:19
Speaker 1: with the Vikings for their twenty six first and second
54:22
Speaker 1: round picks for the Bills twenty six twenty seven first
54:26
Speaker 1: round pick feasible? As That was a confusing text, So basically,
54:31
Speaker 1: is something like a trade up with the Vikings for
54:33
Speaker 1: their first and second for the Bills twenty six and
54:36
Speaker 1: twenty seven first round picks feasible to basically get yourself
54:40
Speaker 1: more picks? It is, but I I think if you
54:45
Speaker 1: want a guy right there drafting in the middle, I
54:48
Speaker 1: forget your exact number you want to move up. Sorry,
54:51
Speaker 1: that was confusing for the listeners. Confusing for me too.
54:56
Speaker 1: I think what they'd be more inclined to do is
54:58
Speaker 1: go from I'm trying to go to their draft pick here.
55:03
Speaker 1: So the Bills pick twenty six, the Vikings pick eighteen.
55:08
Speaker 1: If you wanted to go from twenty six to eighteen,
55:11
Speaker 1: you would probably have to give next year's first round pick.
55:16
Speaker 1: But like, why would you just stay at twenty six? Like,
55:21
Speaker 1: who's sitting there that's gonna the pressure on that guy
55:23
Speaker 1: would be a Mets. So if I'm the Bills, like
55:27
Speaker 1: part of having Josh Allen making a lot of money
55:30
Speaker 1: and they got some other guys making some coin is
55:33
Speaker 1: you got to utilize the draft picks that you do have.
55:36
Speaker 1: So this year's let's pull up how many picks they
55:41
Speaker 1: got the Buffalo Bills. You don't have a second, So
55:45
Speaker 1: that's you got a first, a third, a fourth, a fifth,
55:48
Speaker 1: a fifth, a six, a seventh. I mean, one thing
55:52
Speaker 1: you could probably do is trade in next year's two,
55:58
Speaker 1: trade like your fourth this year and next year's two
56:02
Speaker 1: to get a second round pick. I mean you could
56:05
Speaker 1: manipulate it for sure. I'm a huge Seahawks fan, and
56:08
Speaker 1: since winning the Zuper Bowl, I feel like the Seahawks
56:10
Speaker 1: are still hardly talked about and still not getting respect
56:12
Speaker 1: they deserves for being champs, considering their dominance all season
56:16
Speaker 1: as well as their path through the playoffs. That being said,
56:19
Speaker 1: if you were to put the twenty five champion Seahawks
56:21
Speaker 1: against the Seahawks that won it all in twenty four
56:24
Speaker 1: or fourteen. How do you think that plays out? Can
56:27
Speaker 1: you break down the matchup a bit? I thought John
56:31
Speaker 1: Schneider said it pretty well. I forget maybe on local
56:35
Speaker 1: radio in Seattle. I just saw the clips somewhere in
56:39
Speaker 1: the fall, or actually might have been after the during
56:42
Speaker 1: the playoffs, or maybe after the playoffs. He said. The
56:44
Speaker 1: big differences that team felt like they hated everybody that
56:50
Speaker 1: was in their path, and like it was like Richard
56:53
Speaker 1: Sheruman got mad at me still to that day for
56:56
Speaker 1: like passing on him in the draft till the fifth rounds.
56:59
Speaker 1: Like Richard, you're on the team making a lot of money.
57:01
Speaker 1: The point is like that they were a violent edgy
57:05
Speaker 1: just they played like it. I do think the fourteen
57:08
Speaker 1: team was better, Like I would bet on Richard Sherman,
57:12
Speaker 1: Earl Thomas cam Chancellor. But again, they couldn't play. Their
57:17
Speaker 1: style was putting people in body bags essentially right in
57:21
Speaker 1: the training room, Kate knocking them out. You can't really
57:24
Speaker 1: play like that. If you could play those rules that
57:28
Speaker 1: that team was a problem in these rules. Yeah, I mean,
57:36
Speaker 1: to me, the rules matter, you know. I think Sam
57:39
Speaker 1: Darnold and Russell Wilson probably pretty similar. And Russell wasn't
57:43
Speaker 1: that good then. He made some big plays, but it's
57:45
Speaker 1: not like he was some consistent player. He got better
57:48
Speaker 1: and became quote unquote his star version a couple of
57:50
Speaker 1: years later. Marshawn was, I mean, a much better player
57:55
Speaker 1: than Kenneth Walker, Pete Carroll, Mike McDonald. I mean, that's
57:59
Speaker 1: like Pete Carroy in his heyday. It was Dan quinn
58:03
Speaker 1: as the eventsive coordinator, Mike McDonald, Kubiak coaching probably coin flip.
58:08
Speaker 1: I mean, it's Pete's resumes longer, been doing it long,
58:11
Speaker 1: but Mike's a star and Kubiak's a stud, So you'd
58:14
Speaker 1: say that's I feel like the peak Seattle, and I
58:19
Speaker 1: wonder if John over a Beer would say that team
58:21
Speaker 1: was better. This team's probably more fun to be around,
58:23
Speaker 1: Like that team was pissed off at the world, but
58:26
Speaker 1: that was kind of the NFL back then. Everyone was
58:28
Speaker 1: kind of pissed off of the world. The NFL it
58:33
Speaker 1: does feel, because of the violence, a little bit less
58:36
Speaker 1: of an edge. I don't want to say country club
58:39
Speaker 1: because it's still a violent game, but it's definitely closer
58:42
Speaker 1: to the country club field than it was like prison rules,
58:46
Speaker 1: and right then it was changing a little bit, like
58:49
Speaker 1: if you go back to Raven Steelers like two thousand
58:53
Speaker 1: and seven, I mean mes's twenty years ago. Now what
58:57
Speaker 1: you watch a game like that. I remember being in
59:00
Speaker 1: the league watching Raven Steelers thinking like is this safe?
59:04
Speaker 1: I remember going to some Niner Seattle games, you know,
59:07
Speaker 1: with like the Harbaugh Pete Carroll teams. It's a little
59:11
Speaker 1: different now like no one you might get hurt, but
59:15
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like unsafe to play. It was you
59:18
Speaker 1: take the field with Cam Chancellor or try to tackle
59:22
Speaker 1: Marshawn like it's not safe. So I give the nod
59:27
Speaker 1: to the to the fourteen team. But you know, the
59:33
Speaker 1: best part about being champions and having a team that
59:35
Speaker 1: like wins multiple championships is you start comparing your championships
59:40
Speaker 1: to your team like previous year's championships. It's like who's better, uh,
59:46
Speaker 1: Kobe Powe or like Kobe Shack or like magic of Kareem.
59:51
Speaker 1: You know, you start doing all the matchups right, and
59:54
Speaker 1: they're like different generations of players. Question for the bag,
1:00:12
Speaker 1: why do I always hear complaining about travel in the NFL.
1:00:17
Speaker 1: Are they speaking logistically hotels stuff like that. However, if
1:00:22
Speaker 1: they are saying that these world class athletes with a
1:00:25
Speaker 1: staff of trainers can't be prepared after a long flight
1:00:28
Speaker 1: a day or two in advance, seems far fetched because
1:00:33
Speaker 1: you're at a huge advantage if I'm playing on Sunday
1:00:38
Speaker 1: in your team. If I'm in Los Angeles and I'm
1:00:41
Speaker 1: playing the Patriots or the Bucks or vice versa, and
1:00:45
Speaker 1: I gotta fly five hours away, think about when you fly.
1:00:49
Speaker 1: What's the number one thing that happens if you're doing
1:00:51
Speaker 1: any sort of physical activity when you land. Dehydration. So
1:00:56
Speaker 1: dehydration with these guys who are finely tuned athletes, and
1:00:59
Speaker 1: a lot of them soft tissue issues, who and they
1:01:03
Speaker 1: play a sport that is very physically demanding, so the
1:01:07
Speaker 1: recovery lost on a plane flight. And here's the other thing.
1:01:12
Speaker 1: You have a football traveling party, even if you're chartering
1:01:15
Speaker 1: a jet, It's not like you have unlimited first class seats.
1:01:18
Speaker 1: It's like you have unlimited space. You still packing a
1:01:22
Speaker 1: lot of people into a tube. So I think it's
1:01:28
Speaker 1: more like you never hear the Eagles don't complain about
1:01:32
Speaker 1: playing the Giants. Seattle doesn't complain about playing the forty
1:01:36
Speaker 1: nine ers. The Raiders and the Chargers don't complain about
1:01:38
Speaker 1: playing each other. Where you do complains like, oh, short
1:01:41
Speaker 1: week and I gotta play Monday night football and I'm
1:01:44
Speaker 1: the Raiders against the Falcons. Think about yourself getting in
1:01:49
Speaker 1: a plane flight in traveling, Yeah, you can hydrate and stuff,
1:01:52
Speaker 1: It's still you just had a disadvantage. So I don't
1:01:56
Speaker 1: think it's a complain like we can't win or this
1:01:59
Speaker 1: world the rail our game, but it's a it's especially
1:02:04
Speaker 1: these international games. I think it has a lot to
1:02:09
Speaker 1: do with dehy duration. I think that's a number one key,
1:02:13
Speaker 1: and also just the time wasted that you could be recovering, relaxing,
1:02:20
Speaker 1: that you're just in this uncomfortable seat, even if it
1:02:23
Speaker 1: is a decent seat. Obviously they do have some first
1:02:25
Speaker 1: class seats, but in the NBA, you charter a jet
1:02:28
Speaker 1: like you don't need that much space for your traveling party,
1:02:31
Speaker 1: so they all get really comfortable seats. And even then
1:02:33
Speaker 1: you're in who wants to travel right once you're there,
1:02:38
Speaker 1: Traveling is cool to me. The shittiest part about traveling
1:02:41
Speaker 1: anywhere is always the airport and the plane flight. Now,
1:02:45
Speaker 1: these guys just don't go to an airport. They I
1:02:47
Speaker 1: mean they go to an airport, but they go through
1:02:50
Speaker 1: a gate park and they walk up to the jet.
1:02:52
Speaker 1: But still it's uh, I guess we'll end. We'll end
1:02:57
Speaker 1: on this for today. Going to skyt I sail on
1:03:00
Speaker 1: business the week after Easter. What are your top three
1:03:04
Speaker 1: restaurants where you're going on business. I actually gave this
1:03:08
Speaker 1: one out to Howie when he was coming in because
1:03:12
Speaker 1: it was like, you guys are taking your wives out.
1:03:13
Speaker 1: He was taking a bunch of gms and their wives out.
1:03:15
Speaker 1: I said, I would go to El Choro. It's in
1:03:18
Speaker 1: Paradise Valley. It the backdrop of El Choro. It's like
1:03:22
Speaker 1: an old school restaurant. It's been there for like I think,
1:03:24
Speaker 1: like seventy eighty years. The Cliff Kingsbury picture of the
1:03:28
Speaker 1: mountain behind him. That's the mountain that's behind this restaurant. Now,
1:03:31
Speaker 1: if you're going for business, right up the hill on
1:03:35
Speaker 1: the mountain is this hotel, kind of swanky hotel little
1:03:38
Speaker 1: Bougie called the Sanctuary. Food's pretty solid, but the vibes
1:03:44
Speaker 1: are cool. The bar's cool. My favorite restaurant, I mean
1:03:48
Speaker 1: if you're going like steakhouse, would be Dominic's again pretty bougie,
1:03:54
Speaker 1: pretty like I mean, it's a nice steakhouse if you
1:03:58
Speaker 1: want kind of steakhouse, but also some other options Mastro's
1:04:01
Speaker 1: Ocean Club, which is also up by Dominic's in that
1:04:04
Speaker 1: Kierlin area. I've said this forever. Houston's is not nearly
1:04:10
Speaker 1: as like bougie and swanky. If you're in Paradise Valley
1:04:13
Speaker 1: close to Old Town. I haven't been there on way
1:04:15
Speaker 1: too long. It's incredible. The Mission is one in Old
1:04:20
Speaker 1: Town that's that's pretty sick. Chipotle maybe those would be
1:04:27
Speaker 1: my go to. Sanctuary is a pretty sweet bar, though,
1:04:33
Speaker 1: depends where you are to Like if you're in North Scottsdale.
1:04:37
Speaker 1: You know they got some bars of some of these
1:04:38
Speaker 1: golf courses, so like Greyhawk they have this bar called Isabella's.
1:04:43
Speaker 1: It's just a happening spot. You can see the golf
1:04:45
Speaker 1: course behind it, you can see the range. It's cool.
1:04:48
Speaker 1: Or you can go to the other side called Phill's,
1:04:50
Speaker 1: which is Phil Mickelson's grill. Just a good vibe. So
1:04:54
Speaker 1: it just depends which Again, it's like you can wear
1:04:56
Speaker 1: a T shirt and shorts there, say one end. With that,
1:05:00
Speaker 1: we'll do part two tomorrow m
