  Speaker 3: I'll like you man, We're a couple. I hope everyone
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: had a great Thanksgiving, great holiday, goodbye week and then
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: obviously enjoyed the beatdown at the Ralph last Sunday. Good

  Speaker 3: to be back, Rob, good to be back, Nico City Crew.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Let's go baby, this is fun. Now, it's always fun,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: but this is this is freaking fun. Rob, Let's go baby.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. When you talk about fun, it doesn't
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: really do it justice because the way that this season
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: has gone DT, you know, and Nickel City Crew knows,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and and I'll never hide from it. I mean, we
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: we had our own different questions and different concerns coming
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: into the year, and then we we kind of highlighted
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: all of it throughout the offseason. And and I'll raise
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: my hand. I said, what we had our scheduled prediction show,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I said ten and seven. I didn't back out. I
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: thought that this was a team that was in transition.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Our own General Maynard just said as such, and I
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: thought that that meant less wins. Not only has it
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: not been less wins, but we are watching one of
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the greatest Buffalo Bills teams that we've seen really throughout
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: our entire history of the Bills organization. And that goes
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: back and covers the sixties and those sixty four to
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: sixty five championship AFL Championship teams, and it covers the nineties,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: the teams that shaped me and made me the Bills
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Mafia member that I am today joining us tonight, our
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: special guests. I've got to dive in again to the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: head the brain. Anytime I think about brain anything, anytime
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I think about anything that goes on with how people
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: tick DT. You already know there's only one person we
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: can bring on, the editor in chief at Buffalo Fan Base,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the lovely the incomparable Mama Mundy. Check her out at
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Robin Mundy. That's rob Y n Monday, Wyo on Instagram
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: and Twitter. Mama Monday. We're so happy to have you
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: back at the Crew Halla. At the Crew, Mama was
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: full of the love.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I'm just feeling it today just like you guys are.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: And I can't wait because being with the Nickel City
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Crew is my favorite.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: You know that I love it. I love it, I
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: love it. We are really excited about tonight's episode. I'm
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: really happy to have you back on check out her work.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: She does wonderful work on Buffalo fan Base again the
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Official Bill's Mafia podcast network that DT and I simulcast
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: on DT. I sat down, I had Princess Ivy. It
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: was just the two of us, just the two of us,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: and we sat down and watched the game. Now, she
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: was born on the Bills game on Monday Night football,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: so she was born in the afternoon. We had the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Bills Monday night football game against the Jets a few
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: weeks ago, and you know, she's just getting ready to
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: be two months old. I was quiet. I didn't want
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: to scare her, I want to do anything like that,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: and I just held her and I was excited that
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: we were beating on the jets this and that. DT.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I did not scare her. But boy, when that boy
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen did that Superman pose, I almost shouted at
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the top of my lungs, but I remembered that I
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: have an infant and I couldn't do that. DT. I
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: sent you a text message immediately right afterwards, and I said,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: is this is this a fan joke? Is this? I
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: am running out of superlatives. DT. We already did our
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen, you know, just whatever, you know, waxing poetic
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: piece last week. I'm running out of stuff to say
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: about this man. The adjectives are running short. DT. He's
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: amazing and what an amazing performance in the snow Globe.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Well last two weeks ago, last episode when we were
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: en route to Chicago driving through Cleveland during the actual show,
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: you know, driving through Cleveland, and you know, I got
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: to think it Cleveland, Lebron James, those big Witness posters
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: back in the day, you know, Witness, Yes, the T shirts,
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Witness Yes, Oh my god, man, are you kidding? Met
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: one seven? We are Witness. We gets every week, say
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: it every week, Josh Allen is addicting, and it's the
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: drug that keeps on hitting.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: I will hit that pipe over and over and over
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: again to see one seven do his thing. It's addicting.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: We are all witnesses. Do not take a second for this.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: For granted, Bill's mafia, Bill's fans. We are lucky to
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: be in this, in this vibe, to have a podcast
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: to talk about this. Win one sevens at the realm.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: It's a beautiful thing. But we'll get into it tonight. Tonight.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: It's deeper, you know, it's deeper, it's different, it's good
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: vibes all the way around. It's a whole culture thing.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: But obviously at the at the forefront. Who better to
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: be the poster, whoever to be us to witness to
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: than one seven.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Let's go, oh man, I mean, and and the way
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: that the way that the Knight unfolded, Mama Monday, it
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: was you know, you're out there on my own and
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: you're in Josh Allen, you know, Cowboy Country, and it's
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: just like you know, they they forecast the snow wasn't
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: going to be a problem. And I was arguing with
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Jeremy White from WGR on Twitter earlier and I'm like,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I'm nervous because I'm always nervous anytime there's weather because
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I just don't I just would love to be the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Detroit Lions, or I'd love to be a great team
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: that plays indoor. And that's just my own little pet peeve.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: But boy, they said nothing was going to happen, and
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I'm arguing with people, and all of a sudden they
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: said it was calm throughout the day, and then as
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: soon as the game started, it seemed like the lake
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: if that snow hit and it was just literally you
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: just shake up that it's Christmas time, right, you shake
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: up that snow globe, and all of a sudden, you
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: let it go and the snow just starts to fall slowly.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: It snowed the entire game on Monday, and not only
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: did it not affect us, but it seemed like they
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: just thrived in that environment and in San Francisco almost
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: didn't stand a chance. They did not well, if Christom
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: McCaffrey didn't go down, yeah, they did well.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: They didn't stand a chance once, especially once McCaffrey was gone,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: which was truly tragic, and I do have to say
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: I was very sorry, absolutely Kim dropped down again.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: He worked hard, he worked hard to get back.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Oh you know, and how many times have we seen
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: this with people like Trey White and even Matt Milano.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: You know he's coming back now. But he got beat
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: down pretty good himself. And it's as they say, it's
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: a tough game for tough people.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. But it just seemed like San
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Francisco Mama Money didn't stand the chance. I mean, they
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: almost looked like they were ready to go home. It
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: seemed like it.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Do you remember when Dave Wanstad was the head coach
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: for the Miami Dolphins and there was a game in
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Buffalo in December, and I remember specifically they showed him
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: on the sidelines and there's like icicles hanging from his
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: nose and he's standing there. You could just see him like,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: can we get back to the bar? Uh?
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Sow?
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: If asking we get back to the bus. And that's
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: what the forty nine ers kind of looked like. They
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: did not look like they had any interest in being
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: there whatsoever. And they didn't have the right cleats, did they.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: It's funny, dt we shouldn't talk about cleats because then
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: that'll talk about something that we'll talk about later in
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the show, that Cincinnati game where Buffalo was accused of
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: not having the right cleats. It's funny, though, DT, because
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Mama Mondy's right, and I think that you could see
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: it through the TV screen. I know we all will
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: talk about the Nicol City Crew tailgate report, but we
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: all consumed it obviously watching it through the TV. But
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: it just seemed like, you know, San Francisco wasn't interested
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: in playing that game when it started to get out
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: of hand, and it got out of hand pretty quickly.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: We got the you know, it's a big run by
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Ray Davis to start things off, and then all of
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: a sudden, it just seemed like it was an avalanche
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: pun intended where DT. I mean, these guys are from
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: southern California, Santa Clara. Yes, it's not the warmest in
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: the window, but it's definitely not Buffalo, and it just
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: seemed like they with the injuries, the different things. And
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: then McCaffrey goes down and even though Mason was running
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: the ball relatively well, both teams averaged over seven yards
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: of carry or six and a half yards of carry,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: it just seemed like the quarterback couldn't do what he
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: needed to do in sex to brock Party. They weren't
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: in for a long fight. This was going to be
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: a twelve rounder. The Bills were ready to go twelve
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: rounds if need be. These guys were not ready. After
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: round four, they were ready to quit.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: We talk about it a lot, the scars from the drought.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: You know, we just can't give ourselves a day. We
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: just can't go into a game and be over confident.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: You know, we're scarred from it right where. You know,
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: there's something about our fanhood that like prevents us from
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: being over confident, which I think in a way is
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: a good thing. But you know, this game specifically, good team,
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: the record, obviously they're better than their record. The injuries
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: are tough, you know, the forty nine ers, obviously in
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: the Super Bowl last year, coming in as a favorite
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: in the NFC again, But just breaking down that day
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: on Sunday, just kind of being able to relax and say, listen,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: all right, you're coming in to a cold I mean,
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: before we knew it was gonna be a straight snow
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: snow game, you know it's still gonna be cold. You're
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: battling all these injuries, Trent Williams is probably your best
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: player on your team, you know. And Brock Purty coming
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: back from the injury, you know, coming off Bill Bill
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: seven and zero under Sean McDermott. After the bye there,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: all these things started stacking up in my head. And
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: not to think that I was like, Okay, we're gonna
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: kill him, but just the fact of thinking it's gonna
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: be really tough for San Francisco to come into this
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: this game and win it. You know, the Mafia has
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: been off a week. The Mafia had just a niceness,
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: just a nice holiday. Everyone's ready to go to get
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: back in the stadium. These tickets have probably been bought
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: a while.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: You know, this is kind of advance, you.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Know, in town for Thanksgiving, Oh night game against the
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: forty nine ers. Hell yeah, sign me up, right. So
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: a lot of hype around this, the injuries coming in,
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: the Bills off the bye week, the Bills basically being
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: a freaking wagon, you know, and and it was gonna
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: be a really tough game, even in good conditions, even
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: without you know, a few of the injuries. It was
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: gonna be a tough game for the forty nine ers
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: to come on the road and win this one. So
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: I'm proud that we we held to the game plan,
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: we held through. We we didn't ever even make it close.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: It was through and through a dominating performance. And you know,
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: the scars of the drought, Rob they're still there, and
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: I guess maybe use it, use it as a good
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: thing of will never be over confident. We can never,
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: you know, overlook somebody. And we'll get into that this
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: week about the you know the six and six rams
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: coming up, and you can't never overlook anybody in this league.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: But you can be confident now, Mafia. You can be
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: confident now, Nicol City Crew. You can get ready to
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: go on Sunday for these boys to come out and
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: lay the beat down. So I'm excited coming in the future.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: I kind of switched that tone and it was gonna
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: be tough for that game if you're a San Francisco
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: fan a player, and it was obvious. I mean, second
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: half started warm up that boss, give me the hell
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: out of here. Screw Buffalo man, That's what they were saying.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: It was twenty one to three at the half, Mama Monday,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: and as we begin to transition, because I've got some
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: things that i really want to talk to you about.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: But I mean, it was interesting to see because not
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: only did it seem like they were disinterested, but it
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: just seemed like Josh Allen was so in control and
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: the things that I was worried about before with worried
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: about a weather game and different things like that, it
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: seemed like it was just it was all at ease.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: And that'll lead in to our conversation as we transition.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: But Mama, Monday, I haven't seen him this in control
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: since twenty twenty. That's the COVID year. There's no fans.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: We've got a situation where isn't the They were still
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: there right day. Will's still a part of our staff.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: He's the OC leading the charge. And that's the last
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: time I really felt it's confident about the bills as
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: I do today. It's eerie to me, Mama money, how
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: there's a parallel between the fact that if Josh Allen
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: is confident, it seems like we get a quarterback that
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know how many defensive coordinators and defensive players
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: want to deal with them. I don't know how many
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: want to deal with them, because it seems like he's
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: almost on another level where whatever you're doing. It's okay,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna come up with my own adjustments based
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: on the fact that I'm Josh Allen and we're running
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: this offense.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, absolutely, this is the thing. And I've talked about
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: this before. We saw in him, even as far back
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: as Wyoming.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: You've spoken to that.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Part of the deal with Josh is this larger than
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: life personality of his and people gravitate to him. And
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: you listen to any of the players talk. They look
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: out for him, They would do anything for him because
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: he gives of himself one hundred percent.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: And we talked about this before. We'll get into it more.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: But when you have the right frame of mind, when
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: you're free in your mind, when you can go out
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: and enjoy the love of the game, and we know
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: how much he loves the game, this is what This
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: is what we're seeing. And you're right. I hadn't thought
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: about it, but you're absolutely right. It hasn't been since
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: It's been that long. Yeah, it's been that long. And
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: some of the things that I thought about DT as
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: we begin to transition, because I really did bring Mama
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Monday on tonight. For some specific reasons and some conversations
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I wanted to have. But when I listened to WGR
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: this week, DT, obviously it's it's Friday. That's why we
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: love doing the TG. I have Friday episodes. We don't
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: have to regurgitate everything that's already been said. Everything's already
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: been said. Josh Allen's amazing. I saw a damn Christmas
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: tree ornament with him diving, and I'm like, I'd mean
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: that in my life right now, and it even included
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: the two San Francisco forty nine ers, and I'm like,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I need that in my life right now. So we
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: don't have to regurgitate everything that's been happening and been
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: said throughout the week DT, as we transition in this conversation.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: What's really been interesting to me is that Dion Dawkins
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: spoke about something the other day throughout his press conference,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: and he talked to the media at one Bill's drived
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: about how Josh was in He said that he was
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: just in a good mental space. Not only was he
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: in a good mental space, he said that everything falls
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: and trickles down from him, and that kind of stuck
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: with me, DT, and I wanted to get your perspective
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: on it because for Nichol City crew that doesn't know
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: DT was just nominated in his own profession, They're an
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: enterprise for a great award and he didn't win the
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: award yet, but he is nominated as one of the
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: very few percentiles as a great man, a great woman,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: a great person at his job for enterprise and Management DT.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: When management is right, it uh kind of trickled down.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Look at the Sabers on the opposite side of the coin,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: everything is ying and yang. In this life. Everything is
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: about balance. The bills are doing great, and then on
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: the flip side of that coin, the Sabers couldn't be
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: doing more horrible. Everything kind of trickles down for management DT.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: And when everything is right and you feel good, it
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: seems like if the leader feels good, then I'm going
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: to feel good. And I wanted to get your perspective
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: on that because Dion Dalkins spoke about something that I'll
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: get Mama Monday's opinion on and it struck a chord
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: with me. He said, he is the tip and he
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: is he start his mentality starts it. He said he
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: touches the ball on every play, and then he said
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: we all trickled down from there.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, you look, I mean twenty twenty, yes was
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: in control, but still was the hand was being held then, right,
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: the hand was being held. He was surrounded by surrounded
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: by veterans, surrounded by other leaders on the team. It
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: wasn't his team. We talked about this being his rookie
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: year of it being his team, he.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Said that exact phrase.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: And credit to you know, we talked about management, Josh then,
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: but credit to the actual management of this organization for
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: building this. I mean, granted we've fallen short and we
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: don't have the Lombardi yet, but the keyword there is yet, right,
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: That's that's the feeling we're in. We're in, not not if,
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: it's when, And this management has built this culture to
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: produce something like one seven, to produce this leader to
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: somebody who can Okay, here's the deal. We know you're
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: not ready. We're not going to throw you in, you know,
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: to the dogs. We got leaders around you to help
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: build you and become the man you are, become the
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: focal point of this team. And he always has been,
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: but this was his rookie year of being the nucleus
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: and the focal point of Josh Allen one seven. This
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: is his team and how can you handle it better?
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: How can you handle it better? He it's textbook, it's
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: teach tape, it's everything, everything, and then some of handling
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: it in a perfect way of Okay, everything's on me.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: It always was, but you know what I mean, everything
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: is truly on one seven now, everything truly runs through him.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: Everybody is looking to him to be successful, and he's
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: handling it perfectly and being successful, being a freak every
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: single week, being there for his team however he needs
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: to be. Games he's thrown for one hundred yards and
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: they're win by forty games. He's throwing for four hundred
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: yards and they're winning by forty games. He catches and
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: throws and catches his own goddamn touchdown and they win
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: by forty You know it is, It is textbook, each
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: shape of a leadership. And you got to give credit
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: back to the actual management of the re organization to
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: build this over the years. So when the time came
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: where it's it's all you, it's on you, who's more
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: already And he's it's perfect, He's he's executing perfectly.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Mama Mondy Dion Dawkins said, John not only does he
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: touch the ball and you played, which obviously we know
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: he's the quarterback. He plays that quarterback position, he said.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: He said, you can see how he smiles, you can
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: see how he is on interviews. He said, you could
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: see how he is running on and off the field.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: He said, you can feel He said, you can feel
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: it when he plays. He said, that's what's different. It
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: stems from seventeen and it all trickles down. Mama Monday's
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: please speak to it, because we brought you on tonight
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: because you know the brain and I can only imagine
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: if I felt valued at my job, I felt respected.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Men are big on respect. Women are different, but men
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: are big. We're big on respect, and we want to
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: know that you respect the work that we're putting in.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: You respect what we're trying to put out there as
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: a product. Mama Mondy, please speak to it. If I
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: feel valued at my job. I feel respected at my job,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: and then I don't have a lot of other stuff
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: going on outside of the job. It does kind of
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: help me perform at my job better. And that isn't
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: any walk of life. I can't just keep it isolated
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: to professional sports.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, and it's a good point that you make in
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: terms of being respected, includes the whole aspect of your life.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: The totality of a man or a woman exactly.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: You can't not bring your personal stuff to your job.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: It just it's impossible.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: It's impossible. And we all know that if you're happy inside,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: your mind is free. And this is a word that
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: I was fascinated with because it was one of the
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: most unexpected responses when Joshua was asked, how did it
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: feeld for you to play your first game as an
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: engaged man? Ooh?
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: What did he say? Mom and money? I didn't even
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: hear it. What did he say? Oh? My god?
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Put this is just like so it blew my mind.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, my head just blew off. He says, it
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: felt really good. It feels free.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Ooh ooh dt oh, keep going free, okay.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Free. Free is not exactly a word that you would
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: mostly associate with getting engaged, right, Like usually that's like
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: you're getting.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: Opposite vain is honest time, So he blows my mind
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: and he's going, oh, it feels free, and I'm honestly,
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: I sat back and I thought to myself, WHOA, Okay.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: There's what that says to me is somebody's mind is
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: finally free, free of what, free of a lot of
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: stuff we know that he was going through in the past,
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: and he's now in a relationship with a person who
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: is his peer. Maybe one way to look at it
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: into being a famous person and understanding what it's like
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: to be a celebrity and that sort of thing. So
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: it looks like this is a very good match and
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: you feel that from him, right, you feel that. But
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: when he used the term free, I just found that
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: kind of mind blowing for the same reason you're talking about.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Because he's playing free, his mind is free, he's relaxed,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: he's at the pinnacle of his career. As DT so
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: beautifully put it, he is executing flawlessly. He's stepping up
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: to the plate. He's become the man he always hoped
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: he would be. Wow, And it's such a powerful feeling.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine him being Josh Allen and now he
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: goes out on the field and he doesn't have to
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: worry about what other people think anymore. He doesn't have
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: to worry about any of that stuff. He just has
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: to go out and be himself. When you see him
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: put on the Cape like he put on the Cape.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, come on, that play was nuts. That play
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: was absolutely nuts. And before I forget, I do want
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: to throw this in Murray Cooper deserves as much.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I was just about to talk about Amri. You took
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: it out of my mouth. Yes, the fact that he
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: was that comfortable, just becoming a part of the teammate.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: He's a new teammate, teammate and he he said he
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: made eye contact. Yes, said, well, I can tell he
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: wants the ball. He wants the ball.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: It became an automatic thing. It was just it was
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: a thing of beauty. But getting back to getting back
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: to Josh, having your personal life coming around to where
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: you feel like your life is in order. Okay, life
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: is good, and he's moving forward.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Word.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: He's the leader of the team. This is his team.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: This is his time and you almost have to wonder
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: to some extent if it isn't his time.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, DT, that's the Mama Monday is good. She
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: must write, she must write pieces. Because that's the reason
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: I name the episode the way that I did. DT.

  Speaker 1: theme T shirts. DT, Mama money is stealing my notes
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: because one of the things that I was thinking about was, like, listen,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: I named the episode the way that I did, because
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: I was like, well, there's mad good vibes around here.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: What did you do? As soon as I saw you, DT,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: you smile, and I'm like, and I smiled. We didn't
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: have to exchange words, we didn't have to say you
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: know all and do this all along catch up. All
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: you had to do was smile. All I did was smile.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: And we felt the exact same way without saying a
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: motherfucking word. DT. I gotta keep it real with the crew.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: I feel great about this team. So if I already
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: raised my hand and I said I said ten and
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: seven and I was wrong and I could eat that,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: then boy, why can't I dream for the stars? I
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: feel like this could be the year DT? I went
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: on specifically on my lunch break, DT went back through
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: all of our episodes and I remember an episode where
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: I felt this same way, and it was way back,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: and I looked at the episode and I was like,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh, and I named it Holy crap, this
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: could be the year. And I was like, oh my gosh.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: And we had a big bike on from Not Your
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Average Podcast in the seventy one sixth which obviously miss
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Robin Monday Mama Monday hosts with co host with Testelle,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, Yo, this feels like that, but better, DT.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: This feels like that but different. This feels like that.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: But it's just like a situation where I saw a
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: guy at the gas station today was Detroit Lionspan. He said, Man,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: you guys are looking good. I said, you guys. One
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: last night, I said goodwin for you guys. I said
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: it could have been a Super Bowl preview coming up
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: next week. He said, it's got to be us, right,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: And I didn't want to argue with him. Normally, I'd
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: want to say KC or Baltimore, who I'm kind of
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: scared of. DT. I just shook my head with the man.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: I said, it might be, sir, it might be good.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Look good luck to you guys. It might be.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: It feels different, that's for sure. I mean, it feels
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: the vibe of we talked about it throughout the year
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: on multiple episodes of you Know the Vibe, and it
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: just feels so controlled and under the hood. I mean,
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: this team is missing. This team is missing three playmakers
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: on the offensive side of the ball for the past
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: couple of weeks, and they're beating people by thirty points.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: Like there's so much left from this team. I feel
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: like we're just touching the the the tip of the
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: iceberg of what this team's actually capable of. And we
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: have this feeling now, so why can't we be confident
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: that you know, it's it's at least the reppresentation here
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: we talked about just be there on Sunday, I want
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: to wake up as an adult on Super Bowl and
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: let the chips fall, as you say, and why literally
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: why can't it? Who wants to play the Buffalo Bills
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: right now?
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Rob?
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: Name all thirty one NFL teams right now? Nobody, Nobody
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: wants to play the Buffalo Baby, nobody wants.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: I Baltimore and I'm kind of scared of Baltimore.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: The Bills would would win that poll by a landslide
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: of teams least least you'd want to play right now,
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: and it's the Buffalo Bills. So I'm with it. Man,
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: I'm literally on my way to work. I'm I'm just
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: daydreaming about it, you know, I'm just daydreaming about it,
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: like looking at driving through the city, thinking like what
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: if there was to parade here?
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Like and you know, you think.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: About that stuff before, but like, the ship feels a
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: little more serious. The ship feels a little more serious
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: that that play in particular on Sunday. You know, we've
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: been excited. We've seen a lot of crazy stuff happen
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: over the years of of the of this successful Bills,
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: you know, Era, We've seen a lot of cool things happen,
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: a lot of cool plays, A lot of great wins,
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: but that play itself, like you ad you know you
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: at Princess Ibs. You had to contain it. But like
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: I haven't, Like I'm not quiet when I watch games,
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: but I haven't jumped up and like screamed like that
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: in years. Like I cried. I was crying, Like I
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: was crying, like, Yo, this shit's really happening. Like we
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: watched this every week, Like this is really happening. Like
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: this is like all the emotions of like, you know,
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: thinking about back to you know, my grandfather and becoming
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: a Bills fan with him, and like seeing this ship
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: and like damn, like this ship's really about to happen,
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: and like that's that's where I'm at. I'm right there
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: with you. That's right where I'm at. And the scars
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: of the drought, the bullshit we we we went through,
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: we can't ever go all the way in. But but man,
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: we're in the swim suit and our toes are in
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: the water. Dude, it's just gonna take a little nudge
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: for me to get in that in that pool, in
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: that super Bowl pool. So that's where I'm at, baby,
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: That's where I'm right there with you. Man, Like I
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: feel this shit.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: I freaking love you because the way you just described
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: it makes me like the fact that you said that
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: you got teary eyed, like I. I texted you after
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: and I just what did I say? I said, this
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: can't be I said this can't be real, Like this
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: is an effing joke, because again, yes, I had to
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: be more subdued because of Princess Ivy, but it wasn't
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: because I wasn't feeling every emotion you were feeling. We
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: already did the episode Bama Mondey last week. I promise
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: you if you didn't listen last week Bama Monday, two
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: weeks ago, we already did. Like I felt like we
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: were already the presidents of greatness. So I already feel
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: like this like some weird football god's light is shining
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: down on us. How do we get so lucky to
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: have Josh Allen? I don't know, but I just don't
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: want to mess it up. And as we begin to
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: transition tonight to a tougher conversation, and I don't want
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: to drag anything down, and I don't want to bring
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: anything and make it seem like I'm Debbie down there.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: But Mama Monday, I brought you on to be honest
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: with me, and I want you to be honest. We
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: all want you to keep it real with me because
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: I actually we had you on earlier when we talked
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: about Sean McDermott and had he learned his lessons on
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: part one, and that was a few months back. And
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying now on Twitter and you're on Twitter
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: as well, is after the whole snow Angel thing, is
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: that here's the rhetoric of I'm hearing and I'm okay
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: with listening to it. I'm listening, my ears are open,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: and I'm not being you know, I'm not la la
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: la la la, I can't hear you and being in denial.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: I'm hearing that Sean McDermott has learned, and now the
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: most important key is that he's learning to have a
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: little bit more fun with it. He's learning to have
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: a little bit more gratitude for the situation and enjoying
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: it some of the stuff that DT just talked about,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: And most importantly, he's looking to actually not only grow
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: from his previous experiences, but he's actually looking to now
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: sit down and bask in what he's going through right now.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: And he is actually realizing the type of gift that
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen has been. What are your thoughts on Sean
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: McDermott My own now at this point, I keep getting
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: shot down and I don't have too many legs to
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: stand on any more. Only my only rebuttal would be
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: that in the playoffs, when the lights have shown have
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: shined the brightest, he has not made the best decisions
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: in respects to game management wise, different things like that.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: And then the most important thing is he's a defensive
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: coach and his defense has never played boil in the playoffs.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: What do we always tell the Nick Wrights and all
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: the Shields that want to talk about the Buffalo Bills
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: is that all the Bills can't get it done this
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: and that, but they can never talk shit about our
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: quarterback because our quarterback plays well in the playoffs. I'm
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: looking for Sean McDermott to finally match that energy of
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: a Josh Allen in the playoffs, of the offensive cord
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs. What do you feel about Sean McDermott.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: I'm hearing a lot of praise from him on Monday,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: and I'm okay, five straight division championships. I have to
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: at least turn it down a little bit. I can't
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: be as loud as I would be. However, However, at
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, I had you on the
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: episode DT had you on the episode few months back.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: We asked if he's growing. You said he was. Now
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: everyone's taking it to another level. They say that he's
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: he's grown. Do you see it? I saw the snow
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: angel and and it was cool. Is it growing, Mama, Monday?
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Tell me the truth. I'm counting with.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: You, or maybe the word I would choose is evolving
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: rather than just growing. He's evolving. And one of the
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: things I thought about this, one of the things that
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: I think helped him the most, was probably one of
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: the most painful things that he ever went through, the
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: hit piece. John and I hit piece, but it was.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Kind of that's what That's what DT called it. That
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: next day he called it hit piece, a hit piece.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: But it was the greatest thing that could have happened
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: for him, but also for the Buffalo Bills because it
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: forced him to face his demons, which we all have.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: We all have demons, we all have issues we don't
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: really want to deal with, sooner or later we have
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: to deal with them. Well, this was in his face,
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: and this was very public, and this was very humiliating,
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: and I wondered how he would deal with it. And
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: what I found fascinating was that at the NFL combine
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: he sought out Tie done.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: He did own him. He's you spoke about that before.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: And I think that that was an important piece because,
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: and to Tie Dunn's credit, he didn't back down from.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: I heard they told me what they told me about you.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: This is how they felt about you, and I have
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: my sources and I'm not backing down exactly.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: And this was a great gift for Sean McDermott, and
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: I believe that he finally perceived it as such.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: And instead of an attack, he took it as a chance.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: To grow, a chance to grow, because I believe that
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: when Tye Dunn communicated these things, he said, these are
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: the things that players told me. That's what I put
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: together in this article. These are the things that the
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: players told me that.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: And Mafia wanted to defend him and say that, well,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: they're just foreign players, but no, they were your players
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: at one point. So this is how I feel about you.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: It's yes, And I think that that was the best
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: way to reach through to him, because if somebody would
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: have said to him, well, you know, you're kind of
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: arrogant and you do this and blah blah blah, that
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: it just kind of goes like this. But we know
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: one thing about McDermott. He does care about his players.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: He does care about his players, and so when the
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: players gave this kind of feedback, I think that's what
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: resonated with him more so now than.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Anything like that. DT. It's it's interesting because Mama Mondy
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: put shines of light and she's done that for us
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: in a previous episode. But you know, the tide done.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: She said hit piece and you know, and you called
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: it that and everybody it seems like it in Bill's
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: Baffia half of Bill's Boafia, we'll call it that. Almost
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: like he was taking shots. But I heard I heard
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: rumblings of a jealous coach. I heard rumblings of a
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: control freak. One of the things that stuck with me
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: on my Twitter spaces as I've gotten in the Twitter
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: realm with Mama Monday and other people that are out
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: there on that realm, was that I was in a
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: space where they said the worst thing that a military
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: person wants in their corner is somebody that's controlling because
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: of the fact that that is showing an insecurity that
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: was that's within them, and that could get me hurt
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: on the battlefield because of the fact that you're insecure
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: about X y Z happening. When we need to be
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: worried about JKLM. You know what I mean, Like, we
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: need to be worried about something else, and you're all
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: the way over here worried about something that has nothing
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: to do with us. It has something to do with
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: your insecurity. DT. Has your confidence? I heard it again
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: on wg R this morning with Jeremy White, has your
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: confidence increased? On on Sean McDermott and his ability again,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: I can't take away five straight AFC East championships from him.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: He has now earned them. I heard a stat the
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: other day that he is one of five coaches. If
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: they win any game out of these last five, he
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: will become and join the list of five coaches DT
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: that have ever won five straight consecutive, eleven plus win seasons.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: It's it's Landry, it's Dungee, it's you know, and it's
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: all these greats and and my my pushback was, I said, well,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: what is the it's four coaches. I said, what is
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: the only thing that all four of them have in common?
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: Obviously it's a super Bowl. My point was that I'm
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: I still can am I okay to be nervous about
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: him with the lights of right is because DT. When
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: the lights of rights, that's when I'm most scared of him.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: That's when I'm most scared of him DT. And and
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: again I'm not being Debbie Downer because we just had
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: a great start to the episode. I wanted Mama Money
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: to come on here to keep it real with me. DT.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: Is it okay to still be worried about him? Or
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: just let it all go? He has never feeled a
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: great defense that stopped a good quarterback. DT. Ever, we
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: beat Skylar Thompson, we beat old ass Philip Rivers first,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: we beat we beat we beat Lamar and Taron Johnson.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: That'll go down in history. We beat we beat all
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: these garbage quarterbacks. Oh, Mason Rudolph, his defense never stood
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: up against a good d I mean.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean that's it. We sat next to
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: each other for one of them. So that's literally what's left.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: That's literally what's left. That's your only that's your only
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: hard to play, right, well, you know that it's the
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: biggest card, but it's the only card to play. But
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: what we were talking about earlier with you know, Josh
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: Allen finally being a leader and being good. But he's
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: grow he's growing up in this household and you know this, you.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: Know this house said, he's grown up in this household.
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, this household led by Sean McDermott. I mean,
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: and you know when we were defending, when I was
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: defending him, when this kind of when the hit piece,
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: if you will, came out it you know, it is
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: the fact of the like you don't want your coach
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: to be your best friend. You don't want your coach
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: you want him to kind of be a dick. You know,
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: you want him to be like, you.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Know, an issue. That's what you said. You're consistent and
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: you know if.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: That's what it takes to build you know, Josh Allen Like,
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: I'm sure there's there's times where you know, everyone he
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: walks out of the room and everyone's like, oh man,
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: Jaez like all right, like we get it, but okay,
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: for this long, for eight years, to build this, to
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: build this, like what more do you want other than
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: obviously the super Bowl. You know, it couldn't be a
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: better situation. So yes, you're you're fair to bring that
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: card out, Rob, that's the only card you have left,
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, the left. But you have to respect what
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: we've got and what what has come from it. You know,
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: if he's learning, if he's learning, if this is a
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: if this is a foreshadow that he's learning, then we
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: will see a difference in the playoffs, and you know,
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: and we'll go on from there. So I'm confident in it.
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: I believe in him at this point, you know. And
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: that's like you have to take the past and know,
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: like this ship doesn't happen overnight. Like Rachel Bush is
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: spouting off the other day about uh, you know, like
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: I didn't realize how great Buffalo organization is until you leave.
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: Like not everyone wanna do that.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: Sarcastic. No, No, she controls us sometimes.
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: No, No, she was, she's.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: Got us left, she's been I saw on Twitter they
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: went back and say a little.
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: But she knows that obviously this organization is leaps and
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: bounds better than most in the NFL. And you know,
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: and that's tough to do year in and year out,
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: and consistent in a tough league and a year to
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: year league where teams go from first to last all
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: the time. There's a select few that create dynasties. And
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: you know, we're not a dynasty because we don't have
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: the hardware show. But the consistent wins, the consistent leadership,
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: the consistent discipline of this team, you know, obviously stems
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: from Sean McDermott. So he is learning, he is getting
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: better from what we see. Uh we we can only
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: let it fall out in the playoffs and see what
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: really happens.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: But from what we see, what because he because he
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: did a snow angel.
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: Well, the fact of that, the consistency I've done, the
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: defense he puts out on the field as well, I mean.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: In school that he's willing to do things that he
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: wasn't willing to do in the past.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: Okay, then two, I can only be so impressed in
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: the regular season. That's the only thing that's my only
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: DT is absolutely correct. I'm running out of things to say.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: In the regular season, he has shown that he has
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: a propensity to be more aggressive and much more like
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: Dan Campbell. I don't think that he does what Dan
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: Campbell did last night in the playoffs. I know Dan
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: Campbell does what he did last night in the playoffs
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: because he's done it. He doesn't every fucking he doesn't.
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: Every game he doesn't. It doesn't matter. He's going for
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: it every time. And that's the only thing.
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: One thing that might give you a little bit more
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: peace of mind that that I see happening this year
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: as opposed to the past is I do believe last year,
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: when McDermott was the DC as well as the head coach,
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: I think he realized it was too much.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: Too much. Thank you, Thank you for saying that.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: He had to take a step back. And now he's
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: got competence at the offensive coordinator position. He doesn't You
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: know that he and Dave Ball were at each other's
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: throats from time.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: Thank you for saying that.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: Thank you, they were. And Ken Dorsey he wasn't necessarily
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: happy with He wanted he said it. He wanted to
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: want the offense to run the ball more. And now
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: he's got he's got an offensive coordinator he trusts, and
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: whether I believe he trusts Bobby Babbage as well. But
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: I think Bobby Babbage also may have put a boundary
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: down and said, look it if you're gonna let me
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: be the DC.
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: Then leave me alone.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: I totally agree with you, leave me alone. If you're
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: going to let me do it, then leave me alone.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: Because I could have gone to Miami, I could have
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: gone to somewhere else. I stayed here, and I specifically
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: told my agent I want to call plays, and you
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: hired me. So then let me call the damn place.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: Let me do it. And so now he's got confidence
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: on both sides of the ball, where I think he
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: feels more like he can let go and let them
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: control what they.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: Need to actually become like his mentor, Andy Reed. Now
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: Andy Reid does call offensive plays, but just more of
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: a CEO. I'm gonna want I'm gonna oversee everything on Sunday. Yes,
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: I agree with you, Mama Monday, I agree with you.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: I agree with you.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: I have to feel good about you know, maybe in
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: the playoffs he will step back and not stick his
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: nose in where it doesn't belong. Hmmm.
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: I love it. Oh, I love it. I love it.

• 46:59
  Speaker 1: had the games of the game one Sunday night, so
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: I kind of already teased it for Sunday night. It
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: was just me and Princess Ivy, just the two of us.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: But Thanksgiving DT, I did two turkeys. I'm proud to
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: say I got the peanut oil that morning, got the
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: propane that morning. I shot up two turkeys, just like
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: a lah you know, three thirty Linden. I shot up
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: two turkeys like Barry Bonds. The night before I did,
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: I did a butter garlic and then I did a
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: honey cajun. I did two turkeys. I did the butler
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: godic first because I figured that that kind of oil
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: would be fine. If you put the honey cajun in,
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: then that's kind of ending the oil. And then I
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: wasn't buying two cans of oil, so I got the
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: oil right. I did the butter garlic, and then I
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: did the honey caguin. We did two turkeys, and we
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: had a great time man all the fixings, everything you
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: could think of. Watch all three games, and I fell
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: asleep on that last game as Miami was shivering, much
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: like San Francisco was in Buffalo. Miami was shivering at
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: their game, and it's seemed like they didn't really have
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: much for Green Bay that night, but had a great time.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: DT enjoyed it with the family. All the kids were together,
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: the Kings, the princesses, they were all together, and we
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: had a great night. When it comes to Sunday again,
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: I already spilled the beans. Man, it was Sunday Night football.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: Sunday Night football. I want to say, DT is the worst.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: Mama Bunday. You watch every damn game all day at
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: one o'clock, and then when you think that your game
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: is coming up at four o'clock, like it is this
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: weekend for the Bills, you still have to watch more
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: fucking football and still wait, I'm like, oh my god.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: By the time the Sunday night football game started, I
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: had Ivy Princess, Ivy nice and calm. She had already
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: been bathed, she had already been fed. She was sitting
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: in her little rocker that I'm looking at right here,
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: and I watched the game quietly. DT. Holla at the
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: crew before we turn it over to our special guests,
• 48:56

  Speaker 3: Turkey Day came around. The couple of Nickel City Crew.
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: You know, a couple of years ago, we started the

  Speaker 3: Thanksgiving tailgate. This is the tailgate report. I started Thanksgiving
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: tailgate when the Bills were in Detroit. You know a
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: few years ago, Rob, you were.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: There enjoin it.
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: I was like, I'm not waiting around all morning. It's
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: game day, Like I'm getting a tailgate going in the garage.
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: And you know, had had people come and my family
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: come and my friends, and it actually I discovered a
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: great thing, Like because I run around all weekend trying
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: to see everybody on the Thanksgiving holiday, everybody's busy, and
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: nobody's really doing ship the morning a Thanksgiving. They're just
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: waiting for the turkey to get cooked. They're staying out
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: of the way. They're staying out of the way at Grandma.
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: They're staying out of the way a Ma. And so
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: a lot of my friends came. So last year we
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: did it again and we did it up even bigger,
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: and there had to be fifty people there last year yep,
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: from like nude final afternoon. So this year I was like, hey, tradition.
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: My parents actually sold their house this year, though they
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: moved to a smaller place. They're looking to move south.
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: They're actually in the Carolina. They're looking around. They're looking around,
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: so smaller location. But I was like, hey, we're still
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: doing it. So I got some tailgate tents, some ten
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: by ten pop ups. It was a crappy Thanksgiving morning,
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: it was raining, was sleeting, but popped those tents up
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: and we had a great showing. Shout out to my dad,
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: Brian Ropsick. He hated the tailgate a couple of years ago,
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: saying this is stupid. Nobody's gonna come. It's Thanksgiving. Last
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: year was a little more. This year, week ahead a
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: time with a blueprint. Hey, all right, we can set
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: the tents up on the side of the house. Here,
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: I'll pull the smoker around here, you know. So we
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: were all in. The hot item on the tailgate was
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: the pig shots. They're called. All right, we got a please,
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: a piece of smoke sausage, a big piece of smoke sausage.
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: You know, probably did thick. Sure you wrap it, yes, exactly,
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: you wrap it in bacon. Okay, Well bacon comes and
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: makes kind of a cylinder around the top of the
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: cobas right.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: I got you.

  Speaker 3: You picked through it, fill it with we did like

  Speaker 3: too pick in it.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I got a yeah, I gotta stop. Awesome, I
• 54:17

• 54:21
  Speaker 3: Mean rob get that smoker out. Pig Shots Texas Twinkies
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: is a variation they're called to. That was a big hit, man.
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: I'm sure I'm sure some moms and grandma's were pissed
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: at me that day because people left and probably didn't
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: have a lot of their dinner because they were they
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: were housing these pig shots.
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: And sixty two of them.
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: Need they were so good, man. It a little a
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: little Kenny esque, a little u you know, a little
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: Kenny shout out. So yes, you know, had that had
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: a great Thanksgiving, you know, a little lower key uh
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: this year. And then I was like all right, I'll
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: go back to Buffalo Friday. Well, looked out the window
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: Friday morning, there's three feet of snow on the ground
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: from overnight. Well, I guess, I guess I'm not going
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: home today. Let's try it again tomorrow. Wake up Saturday.
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: There's three more feet on the ground. So ship Knockett
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: home today.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: But for Mama, I was worried about him. When he
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: told me he was coming back from the game. I
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: was worried. I was like, please make it back safe.
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: He wasn't coming back to the Bills game, like coming.
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: Back to three Yeah, Sunday. I finally was like, I
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: gotta get back. I mean, no offense. Loved my parents,
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: but five days snowed in with them, I'm like, I
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: got I gotta get the hell back to the bath
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: Fort pad Man. So we crawled back, took it usually
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: about an hour and a half ride, took about three
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: and a half four hours, got back and uh yeah,
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: but then just kind of exhausted and like you said,
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: just like man, just counting down, counting down. Uh, stay
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: nice and clean, no, nice and sober for the game.
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: Felt good because I do Monday, after a week off,
• 56:01
  Speaker 3: we're gonna have to go grind at work and uh yeah,
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: watch Watch Greatness. I was literally here by myself. Nobody
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: was around. I was in the recliner solo.
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: Uh me, man, it was just being and I mean
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: we were just chilling.
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: But I was going haim. I was going hanm on
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: that play for sure. You know. I was getting pumped up.
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: I told you got emotional. This is my hot take
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: for Nickel City Crew. I'll say this here. They were saying,
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: oh yeah, I was just kind of running over because
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: I thought it was a pick and it just kind
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: of worked and the chemistry was there. I think this
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: plays in the playbook and they're not trying to give
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: it away, and later in the season we're gonna see
• 56:36
  Speaker 3: it again. That's the hot take from dt A Nickel
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: City Crew. I think this.
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: Plays what what I like this?
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: All right, Mama Monday. This is the Nickel City Crew

• 57:20
  Speaker 1: Like d No, you got to start from Thanksgiving and
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: you cannot spend you are out there in Cowboy Country Country.
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: We have wonderful weather. It's been sunny, it's been nice.
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: We haven't had well, we had a little bit of snow,
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: but we haven't hardly had any snow. I spent Thanksgiving
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: the same way that we always spend Thanksgiving. On the
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: ninth of December, which is next Monday, my husband and
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: I will be celebrating our thirty seventh anniversary. And so
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: when yeah, thirty seven years.
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: It's like, congratulations nicol City crew, congratulations to missus and
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: missus Monday. Yeah.
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: So thirty seven years ago, on Thanksgiving, we were right
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: in the process of moving from Portland, Oregon to Billings, Montana, Okay,
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: And we packed up on Thanksgiving and we got into
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: this restaurant like five minutes before they closed at like
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: ten o'clock at night, and ate and we hadn't eaten
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: all days. So this was like our first Thanksgiving together.
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: So every Thanksgiving since then, my husband worked as an
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: er doctor. He always worked Christmas because all of his
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: partners had little kids, so we worked, he worked Christmas,
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: and we always had Thanksgiving off. So because if you
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: were Christmas, you get to have Thanksgiving off. So Thanksgiving
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: has always been special day in our special day. So
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: we did what we do, which is Thanksgiving dinner with
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: all the stuff, just the two of us, and we
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: watch football games. However, nice, he's not allowed so on Sunday, okay,
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: he's not allowed to watch the Buffalo Bills with me.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: You have told us that before Mama Monday, on previous
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: episodes back in the day, you have told us that
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: before you guys are separate.
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: Correct, you're separate.
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: We are in separate rooms.
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: That's because you want to keep your own separate vibey.
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: Because my husband loved him. He wants them to win
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: so badly that he panics over every little thing that
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: goes wrong and see, see this is what's going. So
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: I was like, no, you can go watch over here,
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: and I'm going to watch over here and we'll be
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: just fine. And so that's what we did for during
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: the game. But we had a lovely Thanksgiving dinner.
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: That's awesome. How did you consume the game as we
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: wrap up tonight? Oh alone, A three of the one
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: of the three stooges DT was alone. I was alone.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: Besides that, it has no idea what's going on, and
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: you were alone alone, I was.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: I consume the game alone and it was just fine.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: It was just absolutely fine.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: That is awesome. Listen tonight, we really really appreciate all
• 1:00:19

• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: being a part of the crew. We really do appreciate
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: your support. DT. Mama Mondy hit them with they go Bills.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: We have five games left. I didn't get a chance
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: to even get into that part, but there could be
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: a possible Super Bowl preview next week. Let's take care
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: of our business this week. Since the Kansas City Chiefs
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: want to play every week like they have no idea
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: how to win a fucking football game. I cannot believe
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: that the Raiders lost that game to them the other
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: day on Black Friday. The people that say that the
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: NFL is rigged got like a thousand, ten thousand credits
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: because that shit looked ridiculous watching the Raiders meet them up,
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: Like how do you snap the ball and he's not
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: ready and you're getting ready to win the game with
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: a field. None of it made any sense. All I
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: will say is that the only thing that Sean McDermott,
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills have not accomplished as
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: the one seed, I would love to have it, if
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: for nothing else, just to rest that one week. It's
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: one less game, which means it's one less game of
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: possible injuries, which DT and I sat through last year
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: and saw we got injured. In the Pittsburgh game. Gabe
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: Davids was out Rasseul Douglas was hurt, then what did
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: they have to bring a J. Klein DT off of
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: the counter or some shit like that, because because because
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: somebody else was hurt and Bernard was Listen, I would
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: love to get the one seed. You get an extra
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: week off, It's one less week of possible injuries. That's
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: the only reason why McDermott has done a great thing.
• 1:02:33
