  Speaker 4: Good morning? That was beautiful. That was fantastic. My wife
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: went to school in Texas, and so we feel like
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: we are sort of halfway from Texas as well.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: So you chose Texas yourself.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: So I have a certain affinity for Texas and that
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: was beautiful. I'm used to listening to what is it
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: all American rejects? Is that or Fallout Boy to start
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: eight am? I'm used to that, and as that cat
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: threw me off, I double checked my phone to make
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: sure I was on the right.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Pots I say or something?
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: This is beautiful? Did I accidentally turn on my Amazon
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: mus I wasn't sure what was going on? That was beautiful.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: That is a good song though, although panther Bo says
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: that song was good five months ago. Panther Bo, it
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: just made it to me in the last week or two.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: All Right, I'm on delay when it comes to the country,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: I'm on delay, all right, JJ, Hey, happy fourth brother,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: appreciate you being here, you America. The US men's national
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: team game, if you include, first of all, it's the
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: English language viewership on Fox. It's the most ever in
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: the US for a soccer game. But if you add
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: it with the Spanish language broadcast on Telemundo. Viewership in
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: this country was thirty three point five million, by far,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: the most ever for a soccer game.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: How in are you into this team?
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Is this something that has kind of gotten has captivated
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: the Jansen household.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so we're into every game, We're watching everything. I
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: laughed because everyone's talking about how into soccer they are,
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: and then I sort of realized, like four years ago
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: I was really into soccer, and eight years ago I
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: was really into soccer. This tournament is awesome, and it's fantastic,
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: and it's obviously amazing that it's predominantly on American soil
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: and you know, in our time zones and and all
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: those things. So it's great for fans, it's great for kids.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: You're able to watch so much. And obviously this is
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: the best team we've probably ever put together. Obviously this
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: Round of sixteen game is gonna be huge in terms
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: of getting past this round, which I don't believe we've
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: ever done. But just it's a fantastic team. It's it's
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: a real team. It doesn't feel like we are lucky
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: into anything this year. I think in the past, I
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: can't remember if it was maybe eight years ago, maybe
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: a little bit further along. We had a we had
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: a pretty hot start. I was like, okay, but this
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: is this is luck right, like we're playing over our heads,
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: this is this is obviously a fantastic team. And and
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: so you know, I'm excited for Monday night. It's it's
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: gonna be great. And uh, my son, my seven year
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: old Ben, was a little concerned why we had to
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: play two teams on Thursday when it was Bosnia and Herzegovina.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: I said, it's just the contry. You learn a little
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: bit about world politics when you're also watching the world.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Country kid that you do. We had to explain that
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: to Fitty too. So Fitty's like your son, Yeah, we
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: had to give him that lesson.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: It's a little bit different.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Oh man, So what are this is? You know, free
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: time for you guys as players. But it does sound
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: like I have heard coach Canalis bring this up, like
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: are you like everybody goes and does their thing, But
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: it does sound like you're like guys are expected to
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: kind of do a personalized kind of workout regiment like
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I always hear like guys old school football players. I
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: remember the legend way back in the day Art Donovan
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: from the You know, I'm from up near Baltimore, so
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: he's he was a legend up there, old colts, Like
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: we're talking nineteen fifty eight NFL title game cults right
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: with Johnny Uniteds. Yeah, but he he would always talk about,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: you know, when the game got more modern, and he would
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: always talk about how different it was. He would say,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: back then then, you know, you would guys, some guys
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: would have other jobs to do during the summer, you know.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: And he said, you never showed up in shape for
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: training camp, Like training camp was to get into shape,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: and it's the complete opposite now, So is that kind
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: of how it works? Like everybody is expected to like
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: do their personalized workout, and I would guess if you
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: show up out of shape, it ain't gonna be a
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: good look.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So there's a couple of little pieces that I
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: think would be interesting in the fans. We always have
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: a conditioning test that starts the year. Now, the conditioning
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: test has greatly changed from when I when I was
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: first in the league. Like the conditioning test like straight
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: up like people didn't pass all of the time. And
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: so part of the reason was that if you weren't
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: in shape, they didn't want you to be on the
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: field a for your own safety, but B you're probably
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: not going to make the team anyways, So it was
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: an easy way for you to be put on like
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: a pup list or a or one of these reserved lists,
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: and those guys were sort of cast to the side.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: So that's a big thing in the offseason is be
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: able to pass this conditioning test. Now what has turned
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: into is like the conditioning test has become like a
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: primer for the season. So it's like you're not getting
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: crushed by it, but if you can handle it well,
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: it begins to prepare your body to go play. And remember,
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: we don't we go play our first game. I'm not
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: showing the exactly is like thirteen days after we go
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: to training camp. So we're not going We're not going
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: to training camp and then having like six weeks like
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: it's baseball spring training where you can sort of like
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: ease into it. Sixty of the ninety guys on the
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: team are likely going to go to Campton and play
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: most of that game. Now the starters probably won't. I
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: we haven't been told how we're going to handle that,
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: but historically speaking, you know, the starters don't really play,
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: or if they do, maybe it's one series. But the
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: rest of the roster is play a game in two
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: weeks by the time we go to training camp. So
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: you got to be in shape, you gotta go. And
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: coach Canals has done a really good job every single
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: year sort of laying it out. Hey, be in one
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: spot if you have. You know, if you're taking a vacation,
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: go for it. It is a mental reset. But where are
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: you running? Where are you catching balls? Where are you
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: lifting weights? Because if you're taking off the six weeks
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: between the end of OTAs and training camp, you're going
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: to get yourself hurt based purely on you're just not
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: used to the load of an NFL practice in an
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: NFL day.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Why are people questioning JJ right now? A seven oh
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: four number says, what's JJ's conditioning test? Snap the ball,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: run down forty yards like you're covering a punt, and
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: then flop on the ground to draw the penalty. What's
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: going on with? Another guy asked, what what's conditioning? Why
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: are people your conditioning?
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: AT's yeah, that's cat as the kids say, that's cat.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: Because I also then have to walk to the officials,
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: yell with them, walk over to the sideline, get a gatorade,
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: and sit down for twenty minutes. That's all part of
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: that process. So there's a lot more into it than
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: just you know that that was sort of a rudimentary
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: description of what I have to do. You know, there's
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: there's a basic conditioning test. I don't know what will
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: end up doing, but there's there. It's an element of
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: sprinting and throwing bed balls and recovery. And again it
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: has turned in twenty twenty six for most teams into
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: like a primer, like, hey, this is a light workout
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: that's designed to get your heart rate up so that
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: the next few days that we go out here, you've
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: begun to lay down what we call like good days
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: of work. You've sprinted with the team, You've done all
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: this stuff. So it's actually it's actually way more scientific
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: and sophisticated than you know in the nineteen sixties, where
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: it's like you're just running gassers all day. Yeah, and
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: so it's actually a really good process and guys aren't
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: failing the test, but you can tell, like if a
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: guy's out of shape or guy hasn't been training, or
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: maybe a guy's just hurt, like you can tell like
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: it does a nice job of it. And again I'm
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: all for you know, smart football, you know sports science,
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: and our guys are all over it.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: We're talking with JJ Jansen, America's long snapper, on the
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: eve of America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday. I text
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: her says, who what told her? America? JJ, y'all are wrong. Man,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: my god, oh my god. And I'm not laughing at
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: that jage. I'm not laughing because that's fine.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: I would be a manor to be considered a founding father.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: I just want to make sure that's perfectly clear. I
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: did not have the courage to do what those men
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: did signing the Declaration of Independence at seventeen years old.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: It's seventeen years old. I was just trying to figure
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: out how to, you know, drive a car and get
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: a date.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: You definitely beat them to the next wise ass joke,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: didn't you? Is JJ one of the founding fathers? I've
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: got a question for you. We had Olsen on a
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: little while back and we were talking to him about,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: you know, the celebration that is going to be in
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Canton of y'all's friend and our you know, absolute favorite
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: linebacker Luke Keigley when he goes into the Hall of Fame,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: and I was your friend too.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: I feel like you worked around it. He's your friend too.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know if every much. I like that.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: He's all of our friends. But anyway, because you're a
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: player like Olsen, you know, I was joking around, are
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: we going to see McCaffrey wedding guest Olsen? And we
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: were joking around about that. But you're a player, though,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: can you get involved in those celebrating It might not
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: be as easy for you get involved in no celebrations.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's going to be a little bit of scheduling
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: around some of those things. I'm going to be up there,
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: so I'm going to go once we've gotten kind of
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: the schedule here in the last couple of weeks. Well,
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: the biggest thing is I want to be there for
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: uh the induction and the speech and all that stuff.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: So we haven't gotten our schedules yet. Once I get
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: the schedule, all working around it. So I'll obviously be
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: at the game, playing the game, come home with the team,
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: and do all that work. But if I have to
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: if I have to miss a day or a half
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: a day to be around for that, and you know,
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: you know his dad, Tom Keakley introducing him and presenting him.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: I can't miss that. So that'll be that'll be a blast.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: I hope we get McCaffrey wedding Olsen. That's one of one.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: So the thing I I don't know if everyone understands this,
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: and so obviously our listeners were all friends here. That's
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: Greg Olsen without drinking. That was not Hey, he's hammered
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: and he's had you know, fifteen old fashions. He might
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: have had one drink that was pure euphoria and not
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: alcohol driven at all. So I think it's even more
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: impressive that a guy can look like that during a
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: party with almost no alcohol, So kudos to him. Luke
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: will be far more buttoned up. I can only imagine
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: that's that's a difference in personality when it comes to
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: a party.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: We've got a question here about Bryce again. Ask JJ
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: fire in some questions. If you want to Fourth of
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: July holiday questions, it doesn't matter. Let's whatever you want
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: to get in here. Fireman seven oh four five, seven,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: nine six ten. I want to uh. I want to
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: ask you this one here that someone says Mac and
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Bone are obsessing over Bryce playing for a contract this season.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: He says, we're obsessing over it.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: That could be true, and all the national writers are
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: saying that he has so much on the line. Do
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: you think Bryce or players in general are affected by
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: having money on the line. I think a lot of
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: fans always think contract on the line, Oh, they're going
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: to ball out. Like, do you think that affects Bryce
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: or have you seen that affect teammates?
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's a great question. I once the
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: football starts, I don't think it affects players all that
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: much because we have so much to fill our minds
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: with the day to day work. I think the off season,
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: I think interviews. I think getting asked questions is one
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: way that it sort of keeps coming up. And that's
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: why I believe you see players so often say, hey,
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: once the season starts, I'm not talking about a contract
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: or we're not doing anything until after the season. Now,
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: obviously agents are always in contact with teams and vice versa,
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: and everyone's got their own process. But I think the
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: reason guys cut that off is because they are trying
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: to protect their mind. It's a lot of money. It's
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: life changing money, whether you're talking about a quarterback, a
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: basketball player, and for any of us, this is life
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: changing money. So I think we'd be remiss if we
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: said we didn't think about it or didn't have an effect.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: I think it motivates some players. I think it kind
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: of scares and worries other players. But for the vast majority,
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: I think most guys aren't thinking a whole lot about
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: it because we're just so consumed with the playbook and
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: the process, and you just do have a lot of
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: time or pardon you have a lot of work to
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: fill your time. So again, I think that's a really
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: good conversation for the summer. I'm sure there are conversations
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: being had both with by the team and Bryce in
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: his camp about Hey, what might something look like if X,
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: Y or Z happen once we go to training camp.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: There's no way on earth that Bryce has enough time
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: to like start pondering this stuff. He's gonna run an offense.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: He's got to know what everyone else is going on
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: and might get to affect him zero at all. So again,
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: he wants to play well because he wants to play well,
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: play for the guys and the team. So I think
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: that kind of clears up most of those concerns for
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: most players.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, just focus.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: I mean he's for me to say, I just sit
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: on the radio and yeah, but focus on your job
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: and do it well and those things follow. Can you
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: send a message to Bryce for me? If he needs
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: any help, any help with his contract, then you.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: Have you had historically done very well, so tell him.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: I was looking though. If Bryce is looking for a
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: one year minimum contract, I know who has done.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Them to Yeah, tell him, I'm one of your guys.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Man put into good word for me.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: You've gotten me signed consecutive years, so bright. If he's
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: looking for longevity, uh and and a full benefits package,
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: that's not my saying, but I do have. I'm sorry,
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: I'm late to this.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Where's bone bone had something to come up personally like
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: a little scarer. Everything turned out good though, so he's fine.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: But so now he has the day off. Fitty and
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: I are wondering, did he just do this to get
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: the holiday day off? But no, no, in all seriousness.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: Usually if usually your little suspect of people who have
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: a family emergency on a Friday or a Monday, especially
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: going into a lot.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: I know, but but no.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: All the the bone. But if this has been on Wednesday,
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: I'll believe.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Them a little bit more fair. All right, let's do
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: rapid fire. Ask JJ because people are hitting with just
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: great questions. Lake Norman James says, what is JJ grilling
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: for the fourth? Are you guys doing grilling?
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah? So so it's a pretty standard fare around here.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: We will have we'll have everything. We'll have everything, steaks, burgers,
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: hot dogs for the kids. And I'm a big fan
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: of broughtworst, so we'll have you brought that. That became
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: a my wife and I when we were dating in Phoenix,
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: who go to a lot of Diamondback games. That was
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: a staple, brought worse than a beer at a Diamondbacks games.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: We will have that on the grill as well.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Nice and steaks. Man, Damn, that's the way to roll.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Uh flute, Jooky says. Is the gathering over the holidays
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: called a cookout or called a barbecue?
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: Uh, we call it barbecue. I don't know is that cultural?
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: I don't know if that's like a Southern I like,
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: I feel like that's a sin in the South, isn't
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: a fitty? Yeah, the cookout, I feel like you got
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: to call.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: It a cookout, don't you? Or not have that wrong?
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: You know, JJ, Unless you were actually barbecuing, barbecue, barbecue,
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: just taking stuff on the grill, you can't call it
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: barbie like you're just cooking out. And there's nothing wrong
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: with cooking out. There are some people. There's a radio
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: station that can't barbecue, Willie.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: We usually just say we honestly, we usually say grilling out.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we hacked it a little bit, and not the
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: appropriate way to say it, I think.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: So I don't know.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: Well, i'll do a research project. I'll not find out
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: the origins all that.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: I'll be good, Smelly.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: I don't think Benjamin Franklin was barbecuing.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: He probably thrilling out.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: That feels very sophisticated.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Well, you were in as you were there at the
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: backyard with him, So I'm sorry, I know. I'm Oh,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: your hair is amazing right now, sir, Smelly, you're having
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: a great hair year. I feel like, uh, smelly Kat
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: says Max sounds like a creeper, repeating what JJ is
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: having for his cookout under his breath. Saying, oh, yes, steaks,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: I love brats. I don't know, I got excited. You're
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: mentioning meats. I like you just got excited.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: Man, it's good.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: We got we eat well here at the Jansen House.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: We're really good.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: That's awesome.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: You deserve you deserve it. You'll be back to work soon.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Last question, this may not be a simple one, but
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Martin says JJ, fellow Braves fan here, how worried are you?
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry to laugh. How worried are you about this
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: damn Braves team.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: It's been a rough couple of weeks, that's for sure.
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: I am not worried about it. If anything, I am
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: sort of hopeful that this will push them to go
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: maybe trade for Trek Scooble or something like that, and
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: just go try to, you know, kind of jump the
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: hammer on the rest of the Naly East. We got
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: off to a great start. That's the that's the nature
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: of baseball. You have you have good months and bad
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: months and all that sort of stuff, and at the
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: end of the day, you just got to win a
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: you know, a five or seven game series versus the
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: Dodgers in in October. So we got to get there.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: We're gonna have a full roster. And uh, like I said,
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: maybe it'll push them to go for schoobl and uh
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: that'd be huge and really trying to have amo.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Yep, all right, I.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Lied one last question because this one's kind of making
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: this one's this one's making fun of me JJ while
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: asking you a question. It solves a dull purpose this text.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: This text says, uh, will you be drinking those I
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: pas those nasty drinks that taste like turpentine but guys
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: like mac drink because they sound cool, or you'll be
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: drinking an actual tasty beverage.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: I hate I PA.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: That that, but some of my it's so funny because
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: some of my very best friends, who who are beer drinkers,
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: they bring over I p as and then they just
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: sit in the fridge until they return and then they
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: they have So it works that well for everybody. They
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: bring over the beers of their choice and then they
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: get they don't have to share. It's it's a fan
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: those guys that makes a big deal about it. So,
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: like my philosophy is if a friend offers me a
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: beer and then that's the that's my choice. I will
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: drink it. I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna, you know,
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: throw it back real fast, but I will drink it.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: But I'm not gonna then go and choose it at
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: a second time. So I'm very respectful with friends when
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: it comes to two beer choices, I am very much
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: more of a heffl wives in German, a lighter wheat
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: type of beer that'll be where I where I go.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: And uh and yeah, I'm not I'm not an ip
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: a guy. It tastes like soap. I agree.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: I used to be like that.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: I used to drink the hEFS and wheat beers and
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: stuff like that and think that the I p as
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: were piny and I I discovered the hazy world and
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: it's beautiful. But to each his own. Everybody eat what
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: you want, drink what you want.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Be safe.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: That includes you, mister Jansen. We need you long snap
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: in footballs in the fall. Thank you for coming on. Brother,
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: You and the family have a great holiday, man.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: Absolutely you two all the best of bone. Happy fourth
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: and happy birthday America. It's fantastic. Two fifty, it's awesome.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Be good, brother, take care, Thank you. Here we go.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: That is JJ Janssen, America's long snapper. From your Carolina Panthers.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: I feel like there were too many I got involved to,
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: but I feel like we made too many age jokes.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: We should be we should be ashamed of ourselves. All right,
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: well we come back, y'all. We turn the attention to
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: a man whose name, honestly has probably been said the
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: most on this station over the last week. Jeff Peterson.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: His approval rating, I swear was like one hundred percent.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Panther fans believe or Hornets fans believing him two weeks ago?
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: What is it now? Have you lost faith in Jeff Peterson?
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: We'll talkalk about should we or is that unfair? Sports
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Radio ninety two seven WFNZ. Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Happy Fourth Eve, everybody, hope you have a awesome holiday weekend.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Whatever you choose into cook it, if you want to
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: text in what you're cooking. I'll try not to react
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: the way I did to JJ. I got called creepy
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: for that.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: Here.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: I thought Fitty was the only guy that made audible
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: noises when meats were described on the radio, but apparently not.
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: I'm not gonna I wasn't gonna read the text, but
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: it has to be read Max. Someone said that the
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: term you should use is eating because you don't do
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: any cooking or grilling.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Facts facts, as Mac Junior would say, I can't argue
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: with that. Man mean either, I can't argue with that.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: I will not be given forth grilling duties every now
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: and then in a pinch, I'll be thrown. You actually
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: want to hear something, You want to hear something that
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: chaffs my little honey. I'll tell you what chaffs my
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: honey before we talk about how chapped your booty is.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Over Jeff Peterson, some of y'all out there, and whether
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: or not he deserves that. My wife has given out
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: the lineup for the drivers to Orlando. We're gonna drive
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: down to Orlando Sunday morning and then import Canavil. On
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Monday morning we get on our boat and then Monday
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: afternoon the cruise leaves and it's going over to the Caribbean.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: And the driving order has been given and the driving
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: order is missus Mac mac junior.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: And that's it.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: I said in my wife, I said, we're driving on
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: interstate highways and you trust are not even seventeen. He's
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: still a couple weeks away from seventeen, still sixteen year.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Old driver over me.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: She goes, yeah, I don't know why, but you said, yeah.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Unbelievable, Fitty.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: I can't even not only do I barely get a
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: shift on my own grill, I can't even get a
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: shift on the road trip over Mac Junior at sixteen.
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: This is a dangerous decision by missus.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: Mac, going with youth over experience.
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: Well, and because Mac, these Florida drivers they are the
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: equivalent of New.
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: York drivers, because so many New Yorkers have.
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: Moved to Florida York with palm trees. No doubt they
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: can't drive in that state. I drove to Orlando many
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: a time when I was working construction, driven to Fort
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: Lauderdale before. The driving in that state across the board
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: is terrible. And you've got a young, inexperienced interstate driver
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: behind the win.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: That's a good point.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: I'm nervous, coach, missus Mac cannot have him in the
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: line up in Florida. It's got to be more like
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: the South Carolina Georgia part of the drive. Yees, still
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: the veteran. I was gonna say savvy veteran, but I'm
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: not that savvy as driver. But seriously, you went with
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: the rook over the veteran driver.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: Oh that hurts all right.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Anyway, let's lock in here, baby, let's talk about Jeff Peterson.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: I thought y'all would get a kick out of that. Though,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: like my wife's dead serious, I'm not on the damn
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: driving list, she says. I make her nervous, and for
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: some reason, her sixteen year old son, who drives with
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: their sixteen year old son doesn't get nervous. Unbelievable. All right,
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: seven four, five, seven, nine to sixteen. All right, let's
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: talk about Jeff Peterson. I want to see what you
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: think about this fitty. You've seen it on the text line. Hell,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: you don't have to look far back on the text
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: line to see Weatherman Mark. Weatherman Mark often not the
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: most rational We covered this last during the draft week.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Often not the most rational fan, but he was a fan.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Jeff Peterson needs to be fired. He receives a big
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: ass f from the Weatherman. That feels extreme to me.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: But I think it's safe to say that Hornet's Nation
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: had so much extreme trust in him after the draft
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: and before the LaMelo trade, and some of you are
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: saying extreme things about him. I want to know, do
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: you feel differently y'all about Jeff Peterson now than you did,
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: let's say, right after the draft or draft week?
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: And is it fair?
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Is it fair too based off one move, the Lamello move,
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: because I can't imagine the Miles move is upsetting you
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: that much. It felt inevitable, especially when Ball got traded.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: But is it fair to go from I trust this
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: man fully to freaking out of it. I don't feel
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: like it's fair to completely totally make an extreme, you know,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: change like that. But I know this, I'm still bummed.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: I'm still bummed that we aren't taking this forty four
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: win team and you know, trying to build on it
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: a little bit. What do you think, Fitty? Is it
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: fair for people to say I trust Jeff Peterson less now?
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: I mean he's doing the same thing.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: He's acquiring assets where he says, when the time is right,
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: we will use those. It's just that he used a
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: guy in LaMelo Ball to get assets and we didn't
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: see that comment.
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: I think if you want to question him, you have
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: two reasons to do so.
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: Mac.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: When you look at the draft itself, right, what did
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: that draft suggest, especially with the drafting of Hannes Steinbach
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: that was adding to a roster that needed more size,
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: needed to get bigger, stronger, and add rebounding to it.
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: Then you add Christian Anderson.
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: You look at the quality or the skill that he
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: has as an exceptional shoot. I feel like you were
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: adding to a roster that won forty four games last year.
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: Then four to eight hours later, the face of that
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: roster gets shipped out, and I don't know if you
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: got maximum value back for LaMelo. And then you question,
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: we keep peering when the time is right, we're going
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: to cash in. You just had one of the best
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: two way players in the NBA hey get traded for
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: not a lot, Like the Hornets had more to offer
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: in terms of player and resources than what Philadelphia offered
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: to get Jalen Brown. And so if you weren't willing
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: to cash in on Jalen Brown, who is this player
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: that you're that you're eyeing up? And how long do
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: Hornet you a.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: Have to wait?
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: So you are starting to question, like you're starting to
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: question whether this Like I'll read a text here that
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: that maybe is what you're saying. Texter says, mac, I
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: gotta be honest with you. I would have trusted this
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: dude with my bank card two weeks ago. I still
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: believe he's doing it the right way, but this has
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: put a little doubt in my mind. Is this all
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: gonna work out? Or are the Hornets gonna hornet? Let's
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: let's deal with this first of all. Let's let's deal.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Let's let's talk about this, because I have expressed disappointment
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: that they traded LaMelo and that they haven't tried to
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: take the big three and build around them for now
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: and give it another year and then see where it is.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: But I can understand the logic. I can understand why
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: he would want to sell now on LaMelo and be
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: leary that his that he will get hurt again and
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: that his ankle will get hurt again and that his
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: value will drop. Like I can understand the logic. They've
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: added two unprotected first, they're gonna be huge assets that
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: they're going to use to get to to make a
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: big move. And I believe they will make a big move,
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: if not big moves, at some point. So I still
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: believe in the process. It's already used that word that
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: somebody fans hates. I just didn't see this part coming,
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: But I still think it's a well concocted, logical plan.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: I think they actually have a plan. I had to
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: be honest. Do we think MJ and Chow and company?
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: It never felt like they even I felt like their
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: plan was get to the seventh seat.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: Like I felt like that was their plan.
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: They were like Phoebe. They didn't have a plot.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Nice friends reference there, Fitty, nice friend's reference. All right,
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: seven four five, seven oh nine, sixten. So is it fair?
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Now you're all good?
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: I was.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: I was a little thrown off there, Fitty. I was
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: just thinking about that Great Friend's episode. We also had
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: a texter named Smelli Kat another ode to another Great
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Friend's episode. All right, jump in here. I'm just curious
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: how much faith you have lost? And like, is it
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: fair to do that? This texter says, I'm kind of
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: like you, Mac. The trade ticked me off, but if
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: you think logically about it, it makes sense. Another texter.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: I still trust a Jersey Mike. I still trust in
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Jeff Peterson. He has a plan to improve the winning
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: culture of the Hornets. Let's see here. Tinfoil Fedora says,
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: I know we're hype, but look at the East, that
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: same group was not going to the playoffs. Look at
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: Mello's numbers when we played top fifteen to bottom fifteen teams.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen Mello's numbers. I have seen Brandon's numbers
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: against top ten defenses, and they were not good last year.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: I'm a big Brandon fan, but he's got to improve that.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: And I hate that he had to have the surgery
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: because this was going to be a big weightlifting off
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: season for him, So I hate that he hasn't had that.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: But I am curious to see Cohn and Brandon and
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: how much weight can they carry and how much you know,
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: what kind of jump can they make with alt LaMelo
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: big t and Charlotte says, my big problem with Peterson
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: is he was if he was gonna trade Bone Bridges,
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: why didn't he package the two of them and either
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: one or two of our first round picks and move
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: up and get Caleb Wilson. I'm not sure. I'm not
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: sure you were going to get into that top four
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: of the draft. Those guys are seen as franchise players.
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: You may not have gotten to the top four, but
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: could you've gotten inside the top ten, could you've got
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: up to.
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: Nine and gotten to Warres Johnson.
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: Could you've gotten one of those one of those Michigan
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: guys that we coveted so much during the NBA draft process.
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: I think it's fair to question that.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: I would what would like it is?
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: It's definitely fair to bring this up, and a lot
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: of y'all have brought it up.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: We've talked about it.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Should they have tried to trade, like I think Bridges
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: was always available, Yes, like I just I feel like
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: he was always available. As far as LaMelo, I think
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: the plan was if we can get him through this season,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: especially Fitty, when they started playing well in the second
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: half of the year and he started playing well, and
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: he had shown whoa this guy is more mature as
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: a player, this guy smarter as a player, He's playing harder,
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: he's playing defense. I think they thought, if we can
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: just get him to the offseason, we can get his
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: value up. Would the value have been the same around
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: the trade deadline or did he need to prove that
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: he can play a full season. I think that's a
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: legitimate question. But I think the question to ask is
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: could you have gotten something for LaMelo in draft collateral
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: to where you could have gotten in the back half
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: of the top ten and taken LaMelo's replacement, Like, that's
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: no offense to Christian Anderson and maybe he'll prove me
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: wrong like many Charlotte players have. But like, could you
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: Keith Walger's my thing? And his size by the way,
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: at six', six, yep reminiscent Of LaMelo. Ball but even
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: if you got in there and got A flemings or you,
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: know an A cuff someone like, that that's that IS
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: i can't help. That that's that to, me is a
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: tempting thing to you, know second.
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: Guests AND i wonder how much because we had that
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: report about, seven which is Where sacramento, drafted that The
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: hornets could could be eyed to move up. THERE i
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: wonder how much of that was with the Potential labella
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: with with the Potential LaMelo ball move and play there
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: and one of The, kings because The kings were hell
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: been on wanting to draft A cuff Because DARIUS A
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: cuff wanted to go play In. SACRAMENTO i never heard
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: that in my life someone wanted to go play And
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: sacramento that's where he wanted to. Land and one if
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: they opted to go with him over you, know the
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: the unknown Of lamello's injury.
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: HISTORY I i don't.
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: KNOW i think the timing is what's so confounding with
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: The LaMelo. Ball the Because, mac if this was THE
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: nba trade deadline next year and The hornets were ten
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: games under five hundred and they and they decided to
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: make these and to make that, Move.
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: YEAH i think it would have been a lot more.
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: Understanding the.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: Timing he was the.
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: Engine to and the number one offense and THE nba
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: After january.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: First that's that is. It the.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: Timing we just started having fun here AND i love
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: to off the.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: PARTY i Love Kobe.
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: White he's a big reason Why i'm more willing to
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: watch them on a night, in night out basis as
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: a college basketball guy over THE nba.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: Guy But, mac he's Not.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: LaMelo, no he's. Not he's AND i want TO i
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: want them, both you know WHAT i mean THAT i?
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Love chase From harrisburg, says it wasn't that long ago
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: that we were all talking about Trading LaMelo and what
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: we could get for. Him, now after one season of decent,
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: basketball we're upset that we traded. Him in fairness to,
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: him his season was very close to ALL nba he
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: was in the first few spots outside of ALL, nba
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: so it really was special the way you, play especially
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: in that second half of the. Season but there is a, Point,
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: CHAD i feel LIKE i feel Like Jeff peterson in
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: the front office looked at it like they had their
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: opinion Of. LaMelo probably thought he's not we don't trust his.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Health maybe they don't necessarily trust him to be the
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: floor general of a team to play physical basketball in the.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Playoffs so maybe in their mind they weren't gonna let
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: one season change kind of the way they viewed.
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: It and we'll.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: SEE i think their plan makes. SENSE i wouldn't have
• 34:30
