• 1:59
  Speaker 7: I love when you start a sentence like that.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously.
• 2:01
  Speaker 8: I think one of the, well, I'm just going to
• 2:03
  Speaker 8: say one of the early ones. There was an Andy's
• 2:05
  Speaker 8: in Tyler, Texas when I was there, like early on.
• 2:08
  Speaker 8: And I don't know if it was the first one
• 2:09
  Speaker 8: or not, but it was.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: The first one's in Kansas City.
• 2:12
  Speaker 7: Is it?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Like he studied this.
• 2:15
  Speaker 9: My in-laws lived in Kansas City. And maybe it's Kansas
• 2:19
  Speaker 9: or Kansas City. My in-laws lived wherever the first one was.
• 2:22
  Speaker 9: That's how I know that.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, interesting. And my in-laws. When was the first one?
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Early 90s.
• 2:27
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: And.
• 2:31
  Speaker 9: My in-laws loved it so much that they started their
• 2:34
  Speaker 9: own custard business off of Andy's.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Okay. I know a lot about custard. Was it called Randy's?
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: It was. That'd be good.
• 2:40
  Speaker 7: Sandy's.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Sandy's. Yeah, it was.
• 2:42
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Springfield, so I guess near there.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Cooley's. That was the name of theirs, Cooley's. Cooley's. Yeah. Oh,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: that's cool. It's a cool treat. Tyler has an Andy's. Yes,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: they do, right there on Broadway, South Broadway. So it's two.
• 2:59
  Speaker 7: Oh.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Watch out, Tyler. Metropolis?
• 3:06
  Speaker 8: I guess I can't say what I always say about it.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: People say, hey, what's growing up in Tyler? I was like,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: it was great. It's a bright size.
• 3:15
  Speaker 8: It's got everything a big city has, just has one
• 3:17
  Speaker 8: of everything.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Now we got two. It's not that big of a deal.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Look out. It's amazing that that population can support two
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: frozen custard chops.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: One on each side of town.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: It was popping. It was busy.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: When I went last night, it was popping.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: They get you through there quick, though.
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: They do, yeah. Because the line was long, and she
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: was like.
• 3:41
  Speaker 9: Imagine if everyone, if every service like that had Raising Cane's, Chick-fil-A,
• 3:47
  Speaker 9: or Andy's service.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: Not everybody does.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Think about it.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Just imagine. Yeah. Imagine if Whataburger had that kind of service.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I'd go every day.
• 3:59
  Speaker 8: Like, look, we almost went to Whataburger after the game
• 4:01
  Speaker 8: yesterday because we were leaving. No one's eating because we
• 4:04
  Speaker 8: had to be there at 445 or 5. We stayed
• 4:07
  Speaker 8: for y'all's game for a little bit. And everyone's hungry.
• 4:10
  Speaker 8: I'm like, well, we're here. We're close to Seagate. Let's
• 4:13
  Speaker 8: go to Whataburger. I was like, wait, last time I
• 4:15
  Speaker 8: was there, I was in line for 30 minutes. I
• 4:18
  Speaker 8: was like, I'm not going to that one ever again.
• 4:20
  Speaker 8: That one, that might be the one. The one closer
• 4:24
  Speaker 8: to campus is much better. It's the second worst one
• 4:25
  Speaker 8: in the country. It's got to be. There's one in
• 4:27
  Speaker 8: Shreveport that's worse. That's the second worst one. The one
• 4:30
  Speaker 8: by elite is much better. It gets you in and out.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: It's the one in Shreveport by the interstate. Yes. I've
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: been to that one. It's horrendous. I've been to it.
• 4:41
  Speaker 8: If you go there, you've got to pack a lunch
• 4:46
  Speaker 8: to go to that Whataburger.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: It took us a little while. You have to pack
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: a lunch to go get your dinner. It's terrible.
• 4:53
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's bad. Service matters, guys. You got to be
• 4:58
  Speaker 8: a people person. That's what they say.
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: That's why I never worked in the service industry.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Because you're not a people person?
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: I did at the bar.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: You're pretty good with people. Don't sell yourself short.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: Stupid people I can't deal with.
• 5:10
  Speaker 9: As soon as somebody steps out of line, a lot
• 5:13
  Speaker 9: is going to let you know.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: The customer is not always right. And I couldn't agree
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: with you if you weren't.
• 5:19
  Speaker 9: What job did you do before you did this? Just
• 5:22
  Speaker 9: the family bar?
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: So, no, I didn't work there until I went back
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: to Texas during COVID. I would just do, like, I
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: don't know. Since college, I worked at the LSU Sports
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: Radio Network.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: True.
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: I worked at Barnes & Noble for a really small
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: amount of time.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: That sounds horrible.
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: It actually wasn't that bad. I actually kind of enjoyed it.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you probably read. Me, Jake. Me, Jake. Not so much. They're, like,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: paging Jake. They're, like, Jake, get out of the kids' section. Yeah.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: But the pop-up books are so cool.
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: My first shot was Six Flags. But I didn't really
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: have to deal with people. Yeah, true.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: You do bring up a very good point about service energy.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Service energy.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: It's okay. We were going to move past it.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: I wasn't even going to say anything. It's okay.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: What were you going to say?
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: We're used to it at this point, man. Yeah. Just
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: roll with it. I say words wrong all the time.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: They're hard. The customer is not always right. No. Sometimes
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: the customer is dumb and wrong.
• 6:16
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: And I'm not going to agree with you if you're
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: wrong and stupid.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 6:21
  Speaker 10: Fair.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: It's like, no, we don't have that on the menu. Yes,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: you do. No, we don't. Look at the menu. Well,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I got it once. I don't think any of us
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: in this room would be great at it.
• 6:32
  Speaker 8: I'd always thought I'd be a good bartender.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: I was semi-service industry. I worked at a grocery store.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Okay. I wound up having to be the produce manager.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Not a big deal. Don't treat me any different.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Well, and then the problem was, like, a dude came up.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: He's like, do you have this? And it was, like,
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: some obscure fruit.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: I'm like... No, we don't have that. Sir, this is LP.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: We got bananas, apples, oranges.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Well, I got it here last week, and I was like,
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: we've never had that. Like, we don't have starfruit here
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: in Livingston, Louisiana. And he goes, word for word, can
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: I speak to the department head?
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: And I was like, yeah, I am the department head.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: And I'm in college at this point. You're looking at him, bud.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: He goes, yeah, that can't be true, and just walked off.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: I'm like, dude. Oh, you should have hit him with the,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: you're looking at him, pal. It was the worst. People
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: were so mean.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: Working at the bar was fine because as a bartender,
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: you could be rude. You know, like bartenders, they're rude.
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: And then my grandparents obviously owned it, so I never
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: got in trouble for anything.
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: I always loved when people would be like, I know
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: the owner. And I'd be like, me too. Go let
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: them know that I'm doing.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: This, please. Yeah, really. We're blood. So they know me.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: So go ahead. I never had one of those.
• 7:51
  Speaker 8: I mean, I don't think you would like the only
• 7:54
  Speaker 8: job that I've ever had was playing football.
• 7:56
  Speaker 9: This and then Katie and I mowed lawns in high
• 8:00
  Speaker 9: school together.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 8:02
  Speaker 9: Their family owned a rental shop. So mowers and weed
• 8:05
  Speaker 9: eaters and edgers like the whole thing.
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: That's so good.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: And we had probably, I don't know, eight to 10
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: yards that we used to do. All right. Yeah. How
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: much a yard?
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: 50 bucks.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: I think, but it was like full like mowing, weed eating, edging, everything, everything. Yeah.
• 8:24
  Speaker 9: Got her grandma. Her grandma had this hill and it
• 8:27
  Speaker 9: was like, you had to push mower. And it's kind
• 8:28
  Speaker 9: of how I got in shape to get here. Like
• 8:31
  Speaker 9: you're just, cause you could have, I could have, you know,
• 8:33
  Speaker 9: gotten on a riding lawnmower, but I'm like, this is
• 8:34
  Speaker 9: going to get us in shape.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Just straight up. He'll just push it. Oh my God.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: My yard's on a slight slope.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Like you can't tell from the street, even when you're mowing.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: So like when I'm going to one side, I'm pushing up.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. It's not great. And you're getting old too.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: It's true. He's a dad now. He's a dad. Cassie
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: told me that I'm on cage.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: She got me a cookie cake on my birthday, and
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: it said, happy birthday, Onk.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: And I was like, thank you, Cassie. Thank you. Appreciate that.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: It's a term of endurance. You've probably only had football, this,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: and your business.
• 9:07
  Speaker 8: As far as a job. You probably never had a
• 9:09
  Speaker 8: high school job. I didn't have a high school job.
• 9:11
  Speaker 8: I wanted to get a job at Brookshire's bagging groceries
• 9:15
  Speaker 8: at one point.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: When I was in high school, I wanted to. But
• 9:19
  Speaker 8: then my dad was like, you know what? Looks like
• 9:23
  Speaker 8: you're pretty good at this, like, sports thing.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Why don't you just work out? Yeah.
• 9:28
  Speaker 8: I'll give you an allowance. And you just, like, you
• 9:31
  Speaker 8: train and get ready for your sports instead of, like,
• 9:34
  Speaker 8: going and bagging groceries.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: Because that was, like, Brookshire's, at least growing up, I
• 9:38
  Speaker 8: don't know how it is now, but that was, like,
• 9:39
  Speaker 8: full service. You bag groceries. You take them out to
• 9:41
  Speaker 8: the car for the person.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. For the customer. And you load them into their car.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: I think it's still like that up in the port city.
• 9:47
  Speaker 8: That's how I thought grocery stores were until I left Tyler.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, nobody's putting bags of
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: groceries in my car. You got to win Dixie down here.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: like uh excuse me.
• 10:00
  Speaker 8: Though i'm like what's going on like you just these
• 10:04
  Speaker 8: groceries aren't gonna load themselves.
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: Guys we don't do that here.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah what about san antonio.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: No i don't No, they didn't do that at H-E-B.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, they did. In Shreveport, they did.
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: I mean, they would bag your groceries.
• 10:16
  Speaker 9: They bagged them, and then the young guy would get
• 10:18
  Speaker 9: the card, and he'd take it out and put it
• 10:19
  Speaker 9: in your car.
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: They would ask you if you wanted them to take
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: it out, but we would just be like, nah.
• 10:24
  Speaker 9: And then they were like, hey, don't tip them. So
• 10:27
  Speaker 9: you had to get creative. I'd leave like a... $ 2 on.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Top of the last bag and walk away. Like, what
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: are you talking about? Oh, what's up, man?
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: Matt, every Friday when you show up to Rouse's, are
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: they like, there's that guy that keeps wanting us to
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: bring his groceries to his store again.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: What's this guy's deal, man? Who is this? But yeah,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: like literally for the first.
• 10:43
  Speaker 8: 18 years of my life, I thought groceries were supposed
• 10:47
  Speaker 8: to just get in.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: The back of your car. Yeah. Yeah.
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: They would ask you.
• 10:50
  Speaker 8: That's why there's like 50 grocery, like grocery cars just
• 10:53
  Speaker 8: sitting in the parking lot of every grocery store.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah. That's, You know how I know... That's a pet peeve.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Like, go put your cart back.
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: And it's, like, so rampant now. Society's going downhill, y'all.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: Downhill.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Hell in a handbasket.
• 11:08
  Speaker 8: It is a tricky situation, though, when, like, you have
• 11:10
  Speaker 8: a child in the backseat of your car and you're
• 11:12
  Speaker 8: grocery shopping and you put him in the car. And
• 11:15
  Speaker 8: then you gotta, like.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: Why don't you just put him in the car last?
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Well, the... I usually, like, if I have Harlow with me,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: I'll ride Harlow to the return. Yeah. And then just
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: grab her and carry her to the car. Yeah, but
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: what if it's, like, a baby? She's been a baby before.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: She wasn't born this way. You had always three. She wasn't?
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: No.
• 11:37
  Speaker 8: All that told me was you don't put your car back.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: No, I do. I just leave my kids.
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: It's a pet peeve of mine as well.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: I do. I do.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: 100%.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, your kid's old enough now. You can put
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: them in the car. Start the car.
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: And then go put it back. I'll just crack a window.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that. Also, they're not that far. Just kidding.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Just kidding, everybody. Right.
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: Like the places you put your cart back aren't that
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: far from any car at any given moment.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because normally they're like right in the middle of them.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Just bring the groceries out for me. Put them in
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: my truck.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: That's the conclusion.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: That's the conclusion.
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: Okay, I got it.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: I would love to be.
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: Let's get Donnie Rouse on the phone.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: The first time you go to a grocery store down here,
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: you're just waiting by your car for like an hour.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 12:22
  Speaker 8: So, like, I pay for it, and then I walk, like,
• 12:25
  Speaker 8: 20 feet away from the register, like, looking back, like.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Come on, guy. Come on. We're doing this together, man.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Let's go. Follow me. How are you going to know
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: which car it is if you don't follow me? You
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: want a signal? I'll signal you. I'll signal you. I'll
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: flash three times. Put my flashers on for you. I
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: was about to say, they're already on. They're already on.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: I also had full service, like, gas stations.
• 12:50
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: I never experienced those.
• 12:53
  Speaker 9: No, because we were at the very end of those.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: So y'all would not, yeah.
• 12:58
  Speaker 8: When we'd go to, like, I'd ride with them. They'd
• 13:01
  Speaker 8: go to, like, the liquor store or grab some beer
• 13:03
  Speaker 8: or whatever it was. Like, they would bring it out
• 13:06
  Speaker 8: to the car.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Then, too. Yeah. Everywhere. What's going on? We got to
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: pick our game up down here. But also, gas was, like, $ 1. 35
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: when we started driving. In New Jersey.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: You'd give them 20 bucks and they're like, do you
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: want change after you sell your tank?
• 13:23
  Speaker 9: This is the God's honest truth. And a lot of
• 13:25
  Speaker 9: people in the chat are going to agree with us here.
• 13:29
  Speaker 9: Late 90s, like early 2000s, when I first got my license,
• 13:33
  Speaker 9: you got yours. Five bucks would have Friday night, Saturday,
• 13:40
  Speaker 9: and Sunday night. And you would have to get gas
• 13:41
  Speaker 9: for like Monday after school.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: True story. Like five bucks.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: Five bucks gives you like a gallon now.
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: It doesn't even get you a gallon of diesel right now.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: It does not. So in New Jersey, I learned. But
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: like Alondra said yesterday, life's about choices and decisions. It
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: wasn't like that when I bought the car.
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: It was still a lot higher. In Jersey still.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: It wasn't a lot higher. It was maybe 50 cents.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Now it's a couple dollars higher, right? Yeah. Mm-hmm.
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they do it in Jersey still.
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: We were driving from Philadelphia to New York one time,
• 14:13
  Speaker 7: and we had to stop in Jersey to put gas,
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: and my uncle was asking the people, is it okay
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: if I pump my own gas?
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's illegal. No, it's illegal. It's illegal? Yeah, what
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: state is that? New Jersey. It's only New Jersey, though?
• 14:26
  Speaker 8: I don't know. I was played for the Jets for
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: just a little while. I rented a car, and I
• 14:31
  Speaker 8: went to go fill up my gas. No, you can't
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: go do it.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: I'm like, why?
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: Because it's closed. I'm like, what do you mean? The
• 14:37
  Speaker 8: pump that I do myself? The lights stay on all day. Like,
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: I can just go get gas. They're like, no, it
• 14:42
  Speaker 8: closes at 8.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: I'm like.
• 14:44
  Speaker 8: Absurd.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, why?
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: Okay, I'm just going to still go and get my gas.
• 14:46
  Speaker 8: They're like, no, you can't because you can't pump your
• 14:49
  Speaker 8: own gas. At the time, maybe somebody lied to me.
• 14:54
  Speaker 8: It was a big joke on me. Like, hey, let's
• 14:57
  Speaker 8: get the guy with the man bun.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: It's true. Dude, did you see that? There's this. Never mind.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: I'm not even going to report this.
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: Because it might not be true. He deserves it.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: No, tell us.
• 15:06
  Speaker 8: Apparently somebody in California got arrested. For walking around cutting
• 15:12
  Speaker 8: off people's man buns from behind.
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: That's amazing.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: It feels very California. Honestly? He said he was doing
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: the Lord's work.
• 15:18
  Speaker 8: I mean.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: He was. Not wrong. He was. 25 of them I
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: think he got.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, damn.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: He's good.
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: The world's a better place.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Again, this could have been a big joke that I
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: fell for. But I choose to believe it's true because
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: it's fun.
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: It is fun.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: You've been known to fall for some stuff.
• 15:35
  Speaker 8: Well, I choose happiness a lot.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: And, like, that story made me happy. So, like, why
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: would I go debunk it?
• 15:43
  Speaker 9: How would you have felt when you were rocking the
• 15:46
  Speaker 9: man bun circa 2014 probably?
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. If you had got your skirt off? Probably relieved.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Probably relieved.
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: Nobody was forcing you to do that.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Nobody was.
• 15:57
  Speaker 8: It was a situation where I looked in the mirror
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: one day and I was in, let's.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: See, where was I? I might have been in Seattle.
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: And forever, like I would come on here or Lacey
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: would come here or whatever. And so, you know, it's
• 16:11
  Speaker 8: been years since I'd like grown hair out and I
• 16:14
  Speaker 8: started growing it out a little bit. And I saw
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: a little thin back here.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Nothing blonde, little, little, little blonde here. Yeah.
• 16:22
  Speaker 8: And I was like, you know what? I've never had
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: long hair. I've never really liked my hair, but I just,
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: let's just do it one time. Let's just see until
• 16:29
  Speaker 8: while I, while I got it.
• 16:30
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Let's give it a test drive. You got it. Flaunt it. Yeah.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Let's give it a test drive.
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: And, um, We did. This was in Oakland. Man bun
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: in Oakland.
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: I think I get an excuse for a lot of
• 16:44
  Speaker 8: bad decisions in Oakland because you go to weird mental places.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: And so I grew it.
• 16:51
  Speaker 9: You're Owen Wilson in Wedding Crashers.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: You're hanging by a thread.
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: So we tried and I was like, you know what,
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: I'm going to grow it until I can put it
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: in a man bun. That was the finish line. That
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: was the absolute finish line for me. And I got
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: to the finish line and then we had our first child.
• 17:06
  Speaker 8: We had Huck and I took our newborn pictures with it.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: No, that's so bad.
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: And we got the newborn pictures back. I want to
• 17:14
  Speaker 8: say probably on a, let's just say it's a Tuesday.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah. By Tuesday afternoon, the man bun was cut.
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: Off after I got the newborn pictures back and I
• 17:23
  Speaker 8: looked at it and I was like, that's not good.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Lacey, Lacey, you've been looking at this.
• 17:29
  Speaker 9: Did I snap a picture of said newborn pictures when
• 17:33
  Speaker 9: I was helping him move So I had that for blackmail.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: That happened.
• 17:37
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: It's your payment.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: It's in. Well, I got Papa John's pizza.
• 17:42
  Speaker 10: True.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: I feel like if you have a man bond, you
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: can't wear shoes ever.
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: Or Toms. You were wearing Toms, weren't you?
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Some sort of sandal.
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: You were wearing Toms.
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: No, I've never had Toms, but I was probably barefoot
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: in that newborn picture.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: I was definitely shirtless. Were you wearing long pants rolled up?
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: You were shirtless? Why were you shirtless? In the newborn photos.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: Why?
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: That's the look we were going with. With what? Sometimes
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: you party. I mean, you gotta do skin-to-skin contact with
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: your newborn.
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: Okay, fair, fair.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: I didn't. What? I didn't. Why? Didn't do skin-to-skin? No.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: They did that with Mama. I'm kidding, guys. Yeah, I didn't.
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: I did.
• 18:24
  Speaker 8: They offered, and I was like, I'm not taking my
• 18:26
  Speaker 8: shirt off in this hospital.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: No. Why? You take it at the swimming pool. You
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: don't want to do it for your child? Those are
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: the same place. Like, They can do that to your mom.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: You can turn your shirt off at the hospital, Jake.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: You can do it at the pool. I mean, he's
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: acting like he's bashful about taking your shirt off in public. No,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: it wasn't that.
• 18:43
  Speaker 9: It's just, like, taking it off and, like, the nurse
• 18:45
  Speaker 9: and doctor coming in.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: And I'm in that uncomfortable chair and, like, hey, why
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: is his shirt off? Yeah. Okay.
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: I think the doctors and nurses in the delivery room
• 18:55
  Speaker 8: are used to seeing some stuff.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: I know that you're not in the minority with this.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I know you're not. Oh, I know.
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: But the newborn photos with the shirt off, it's coming
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: off a little weird.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: I don't have an opinion.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: It wasn't like it was just me sitting there with
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: my shirt on. Like with my nips out. I wasn't flexing.
• 19:22
  Speaker 8: I don't even think there was like, yeah. It was
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: all like just shoulder. It wasn't like, couldn't see my
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: eight pack or anything.
• 19:30

• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. You know what a man bun in
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Birkenstock screams? Grits.
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: Grits.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: What about that? That sack's not going to hack you itself.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? I'm trying to think.
• 23:26
  Speaker 9: Has there ever been a player to have a man
• 23:29
  Speaker 9: bun that was gritty?
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: A.J.
• 23:33
  Speaker 8: Hawk? Yeah.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: A.J. and Clay. They had a lot. They had a lot.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Josh Sitton on the offensive line. He had a man bun. Yeah,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: offensive lineman, I guess. You see it. Actually, you do
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: see it a lot there. Black Tiari had one. Smaller guys,
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: you don't see it a lot. So, like, that's what
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: I was saying.
• 23:46
  Speaker 8: A.J.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Is, like, the only one I can think of. Smaller guys, not.
• 23:51
  Speaker 9: I wouldn't consider, like, Polamala. Like, he had crazy hair,
• 23:54
  Speaker 9: but it wasn't, like, a man bun.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Clipboard Jesus. Oh, Chuck Whitehurst. Yeah.
• 24:00
  Speaker 8: Uh-huh.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah. He's a good old boy. He's a good boy.
• 24:04
  Speaker 8: Like, he's like, hey, let me go work on my
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: Mustang real quick.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: My 1965 Mustang. Maybe we can pull it off. I
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: could not. We know.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: I don't think anybody can pull a man bun off.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: I'm just being honest.
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's not like.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Nobody can. Some people pull it off better than others.
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: I disagree.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: And Clay Matthews, he kind of wore it down a lot. Right, right, right.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: I feel like when he wasn't playing. I don't know
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: how gritty Clay was. It was up more. I don't know.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: I know AJ was. AJ had that jaw just like, rock,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: headbutt you. Didn't really care about his safety. No, no.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Of himself or you, which I appreciate. Anywho. Did we
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: watch any playoff baseball yesterday?
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: I didn't, but I heard.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: You didn't? Your team was playing the Red Sox.
• 24:57
  Speaker 7: I know.
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: They whooped them.
• 25:00
  Speaker 9: It was hard for me because it was during my
• 25:04
  Speaker 9: afternoon show.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: The Braves were playing the Phillies. I'm a Braves fan.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: I hate the Phillies.
• 25:09
  Speaker 9: The Phillies are up there with the Raiders and the
• 25:11
  Speaker 9: Florida Gators for me. Just always have been. I mean,
• 25:14
  Speaker 9: I grew up diehard Atlanta Braves. They don't like the Phillies.
• 25:17
  Speaker 9: John Kruk and Mitch Williams and... Darren Dalton and Lenny Dykstra,
• 25:22
  Speaker 9: they can all, you know, rest in peace, Darren Dalton.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: They can all fly kite, though. Just didn't like them. RIP.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Kind of sucked, though.
• 25:31
  Speaker 9: So Braves are down 3-2 in the bottom of the
• 25:34
  Speaker 9: eighth inning. They come up, two guys on. Austin Riley's up,
• 25:39
  Speaker 9: who is a really good baseball player, but has been
• 25:41
  Speaker 9: struggling mightily this year.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Hits an oppo taco. Take the lead. Braves win 5-3.
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: Hell yeah. I'm happy for you.
• 25:51
  Speaker 9: I was doing like this while I was like on air.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Literally, like not like in commercial break, like on air.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Hold on, Dan Quinn. I can celebrate this.
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: Dan, you get it.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, Dan would get it. Dan's a backwards hat guy.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: He'd get it.
• 26:06
  Speaker 8: I found out that the baseball playoffs had started about
• 26:11
  Speaker 8: 10 p.m. last night when I got in bed and
• 26:13
  Speaker 8: I turned the TV on and I was just looking
• 26:15
  Speaker 8: for something.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, probably some Padres Cubs. I saw the end of
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: the Yankee game. Oh, okay.
• 26:21
  Speaker 8: So I saw the end of that one, and I
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: was like, oh, okay, I'll turn it on. It's Yankees-Red Sox.
• 26:24
  Speaker 8: I'll turn it on, get some background noise. And I
• 26:26
  Speaker 8: turned it on, and I was like, oh, this is
• 26:29
  Speaker 8: on a pretty big channel. I was like, okay. And
• 26:31
  Speaker 8: I looked at the little bottom, and it said MLB playoffs.
• 26:35
  Speaker 8: I was like, oh, the playoffs started today. That's fun.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: And then I put it on Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: I love that show.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Good show.
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: Do you still have– or did you get a Cam
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: Schlitter card? Didn't you ask us about him?
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: I got one.
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: You got him? You still got it?
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: He had a really good game last night.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: Who's that? Schlitter the– Yankees rookie pitcher.
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: Oh, because you had the– you asked about the Yankees
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: or the Star Wars cleats or something.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Is that him?
• 27:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: That's him, yeah. He's a rookie?
• 27:04
  Speaker 7: No.
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: It's his second year.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: He's considered a rookie, though, still. That's a weird thing. Yeah,
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: they do, like, the games played or something, right?
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: Oh, that's true.
• 27:13
  Speaker 9: You can actually play, like, a pretty decent amount of games,
• 27:16
  Speaker 9: but if you don't hit the mark, then.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: You're a rookie.
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: Because remember Ben Simmons won Rookie of the Year his
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: second year.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: In the league.
• 27:21
  Speaker 8: It is weird because I had, like, an Aaron Judge
• 27:23
  Speaker 8: rookie card from, like, 2017, but then I had one from, like,
• 27:28
  Speaker 8: 2013 as well.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: It was confusing. I might have got those numbers wrong,
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: but he had, like, two rookie cards. Two years. He
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: probably had a first Bowman. And then a rookie card. Yeah,
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: whatever that means. Well, like when you're a prospect. Oh,
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: a prospect.
• 27:42
  Speaker 9: If you got one like a Kate Anderson, it would
• 27:44
  Speaker 9: have been a first Bowman, but he's not technically a
• 27:46
  Speaker 9: rookie yet.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: And then next year he will be a rookie.
• 27:50
  Speaker 9: He debuted this year, but he didn't pitch enough to
• 27:53
  Speaker 9: not be a rookie next year.
• 27:54
  Speaker 8: I thought first Bowman was like the brand, but first
• 27:57
  Speaker 8: Bowman is like a prospect thing? First Bowman is like
• 27:59
  Speaker 8: your first Bowman card, yeah. Bowman's the brand, but then
• 28:02
  Speaker 8: there's a first Bowman.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: First is, yes, that is your like. Your first time
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: you got a Bowman card. So is the NFL Bowman
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: stuff doing first Bowman right now? Probably.
• 28:10
  Speaker 9: Because they've never done football, right? I would think so, yeah. Like,
• 28:15
  Speaker 9: there's going to be college ones that are first Bowmans
• 28:17
  Speaker 9: for sure.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Respect. The Padres beat the Cubs 8-0. Sorry, Hunt.
• 28:26
  Speaker 9: Yankees beat the Red Sox 9-0. White Sox beat the
• 28:30
  Speaker 9: Astros 6-3. And Braves beat the Phillies 5-3. Hunt might
• 28:37
  Speaker 9: not do a show today, y'all.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: Hmm.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: First pitch at 9 p.m. Central time. Hunt might not
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: have made it. That's pretty late.
• 28:51
  Speaker 9: Brace Phillies again today, 1 p.m.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Central time. Not going to be a great... Who'd they play?
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: The Cubs play the Padres? The Cubs play the Padres.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: I'm sure he picked the Padres to win. He bet
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: on them, at least. He definitely bet on them.
• 29:09
  Speaker 9: But these are, you know, best of three series. So,
• 29:13
  Speaker 9: not a lot of room for error. Which is kind of,
• 29:17
  Speaker 9: I don't really know. 162 games and we're doing best
• 29:20
  Speaker 9: of three?
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: I mean, you got 162 to get it right.
• 29:22
  Speaker 9: I know they're trying to speed it up. But you
• 29:24
  Speaker 9: know baseball. I mean, baseball, a good team can lose
• 29:26
  Speaker 9: a series. A three-game series.
• 29:29
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: They're trying to speed it up. And I get it.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Did they not do a play-in at one point? Like
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: a one-game play-in? They did. They used to do a
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: one-game wild card play-in. Which baseball, one game seems like
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: literally wild. Pretty wild. Am I right? Yeah. We got it. Okay. So. Anyways.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: That's your MLB baseball scoreboard. Wow. That was good. No
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Texas Rangers. Sorry, Matt. Oh, man. Almost.
• 30:02
  Speaker 8: I'm excited that the playoffs are here. I do enjoy
• 30:04
  Speaker 8: watching a little playoff baseball in October.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: This season, baseball is exciting.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: I didn't really realize that it was on until last night.
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: Also, I turned on the TV yesterday, and they're like,
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: I turned on my ESPN Plus app, and it's like,
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: catch the opening night of hockey.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: I'm like, it is September. Yeah, y'all just got done.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: Didn't this just finish in June? Yeah.
• 30:28
  Speaker 9: Kind of like international soccer. They get done in May,
• 30:32
  Speaker 9: and it's right back in August.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Because they were done right before the NBA finals in mid-June.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Basketball is ridiculous, too.
• 30:38
  Speaker 8: There's no way LSU should be playing basketball this month
• 30:42
  Speaker 8: or in October.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Next couple weeks, yeah. No, like eight days.
• 30:47
  Speaker 8: That, okay, I know there's a lot of basketball people
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: out there, and that's good. I love people having fun
• 30:53
  Speaker 8: and getting to watch what they want to watch, but
• 30:54
  Speaker 8: basketball season.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Started in eight days is ridiculous.
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's an exhibition, but yeah.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: I think it's kind of dumb. Myself? Should it start
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: after the new year? Okay, maybe that's a little late.
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: It's a long season.
• 31:09
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: After the new year? It's not rhetorical. I'm asking when
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: should it start.
• 31:15
  Speaker 7: Oh.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's enough time. Yeah, Thanksgiving. I think Thanksgiving.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: That's probably fair. After Thanksgiving. NBA too? Oh, for sure.
• 31:26
  Speaker 8: Well, I don't really care. I don't even know when
• 31:29
  Speaker 8: that starts or when that finishes. They're having their media
• 31:33
  Speaker 8: days right now.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Of all the things that I don't care about, that's
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: at the top. In sports. Soccer or NBA? I don't know.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: I don't even know when the soccer, when is that season?
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: August to May. August, that's a long time.
• 31:57
  Speaker 9: Like, right now, they're in an international break. So, Team
• 32:01
  Speaker 9: USA beat Chile last night, 4-2. Is that good?
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 32:11
  Speaker 8: It's good.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: Good dub. USA went young. Kind of hit reset on
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: the national team. A lot of teenagers. So, they have.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: A 16-year-old. What did you say? August through May?
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 32:26
  Speaker 9: Because right now, the EPL, like in all these leagues,
• 32:31
  Speaker 9: they're not with their country right now, so they have
• 32:34
  Speaker 9: some breaks like that, and they'll have another international window like.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: In the spring where they go play for their country.
• 32:43

• 34:45
  Speaker 9: OTB, a little R & B Wednesday. Last thing about baseball.
• 34:53
  Speaker 9: If we were playing, what's the ticket? Padres, Cubs, $ 137.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: Yankees, Red Sox, $ 117. Oh, that's not bad. Braves, Phillies, $ 39. Astros,
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: White Sox.
• 35:01
  Speaker 9: $ 26.
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: I would have thought Yankees Red Sox would have been
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: the highest.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: Dang, you suck, baseball.
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, $ 117 to get your foot in the door of
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: a wild card. That's crazy. Yankees Red Sox?
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: I'd go to Yankees Red Sox. Yeah, that's wild.
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: For $ 117? Hell yeah, I'm going.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: I don't even like either one of the teams. Is
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: that league about to shutter?
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, actually, it might.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they may not start.
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: Truly, they might not have a season next season.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, for real? Yeah, they might have a strike, yeah.
• 35:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, drama's always fun, no?
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I'm here for it.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: My fill for the players.
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: I mean, the players, yeah. Yeah, I guess.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: We were in the professional league when there was the
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: threat of a lockout. I mean, we did have one.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: We did. Off-season lockout. I missed a bonus shake because
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: I had two of my bonuses. I hit one.
• 36:05
  Speaker 10: Actually....
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: Actually, I take that back.
• 36:11
  Speaker 9: Like, I did miss one, but the Chargers actually did
• 36:17
  Speaker 9: right by me and gave me the workout bonus one.
• 36:22
  Speaker 8: When they didn't have to because we didn't have workouts.
• 36:26
  Speaker 8: Although we were grinding up there. You would have been there.
• 36:29
  Speaker 9: USD, University of San Diego, where I first met our guy,
• 36:33
  Speaker 9: Jay Johnson.
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: Love that guy.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would have been there as a. I was
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: the token white special teams guy. For sure. Of course
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: I would have been there. Workout 40 minutes early. Yeah.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: Workout warrior. Jack of all trades. Master of none. Film junkie. Coachable.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: Coach on the field. Not fast, but quick. Always in
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: the right spot. Those kind of things. Coach on the
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: field is another one. That's a good point. That's the
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: one I got.
• 37:08
  Speaker 8: Guys with coach on the field. This guy's got a
• 37:10
  Speaker 8: weak arm. I'm throwing next to Jamarcus. Like, pretty strong.
• 37:15
  Speaker 8: I can throw it pretty good, but, like, he can
• 37:19
  Speaker 8: throw it 90. Yeah, he can get on one knee
• 37:21
  Speaker 8: and throw it 70. Saw that man throw it 90
• 37:23
  Speaker 8: yards one time.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: In street clothes. Anyways. So, yeah, my arm's going to
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: look weak. I'm only throwing it 65. Sorry, it's 60.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: With a crow hop. Oh, yeah, obviously. Well, Jabari's standing
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: on his knee. Maybe another saying I hate in sports.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: He can make all the throws. You hate people with
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: good arms. No, it's not that.
• 37:53
  Speaker 7: Matt said arm talent yesterday in the film review.
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: It's just like he can make all the throws. I'm like, yeah,
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: they wouldn't ask him to make a throw he can't make. Yeah,
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: he can make all the throws.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, you watch some of these games and it
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: makes you wonder.
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: Some can't make all the throws.
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: It makes you wonder. About some of these throws. Arm
• 38:15
  Speaker 8: talent is not the, yeah, it's, some guys have better hands.
• 38:20
  Speaker 8: They can correct at the last second.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Some guys don't. A lot of guys don't have
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: that at all the levels.
• 38:31
  Speaker 9: I think, like, speaking of, like, guys that can and
• 38:34
  Speaker 9: can't make throws, like, For Case Keenum, and you mentioned
• 38:37
  Speaker 9: this a little bit yesterday, for him to be on
• 38:39
  Speaker 9: a nationally televised game and for everyone to see how
• 38:42
  Speaker 9: much you can do with your mind and not just
• 38:45
  Speaker 9: your physical talent in the NFL, it's pretty cool to see,
• 38:49
  Speaker 9: and it tells you how mental the game is. But
• 38:51
  Speaker 9: it also, for me, this is how I took it,
• 38:54
  Speaker 9: the development of the quarterback position is really far behind where.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: It needs to be. Yeah, it's very underdeveloped right now.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: Brady talks about it all the time.
• 39:03
  Speaker 8: The development of the quarterback position is– the quarterback position
• 39:07
  Speaker 8: is a lot different now um at the high school
• 39:10
  Speaker 8: level at the college level now it's the same at
• 39:14
  Speaker 8: the nfl level as it always has been it's probably
• 39:17
  Speaker 8: better at the nfl level than it ever has been
• 39:19
  Speaker 8: but the development part is lacking behind because they're not
• 39:24
  Speaker 8: asked to do a lot you're not asked to verbally
• 39:26
  Speaker 8: communicate it was really put like it was really.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: Spotlighted on Monday night with Case Keenum.
• 39:32
  Speaker 8: Because you had so many good microphones there, such good coverage.
• 39:36
  Speaker 8: The pre-snap communication was awesome. You can have a guy
• 39:41
  Speaker 8: that hadn't played in three years, 38 years old.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: Yes, I'll be talented. And he's had success. And he's
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: not just like a guy coming off the streets. He's
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: been playing.
• 39:50
  Speaker 8: But it's truly amazing what a quarterback can do when
• 39:53
  Speaker 8: you are in complete control and you understand the defensive looks,
• 39:57
  Speaker 8: all those things that we talked about in like the film,
• 39:58
  Speaker 8: like he's doing that in real time.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 40:01
  Speaker 8: Because he's processing the information and you don't get that
• 40:05
  Speaker 8: at the college level. You get a little bit, you
• 40:06
  Speaker 8: get some alerts, you get some, you know, flip, flip, flip,
• 40:10
  Speaker 8: and some alert, alert, alert.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: But a lot of times like.
• 40:12
  Speaker 8: NFL guys, aren't looking toward the sideline to have their
• 40:15
  Speaker 8: hand held and like for the coach to tell you
• 40:17
  Speaker 8: everything to do. Like it's, So you're not processing as much,
• 40:20
  Speaker 8: and I see it at the high school level. All
• 40:22
  Speaker 8: these high schools, and I get it because you can
• 40:25
  Speaker 8: plug people in, but in the college level they're doing
• 40:28
  Speaker 8: it for like shotgun every play. It's not great for
• 40:32
  Speaker 8: quarterback development. Clap counts are not great for quarterback development.
• 40:35
  Speaker 8: Maybe it's good for that system, and I get that
• 40:37
  Speaker 8: and I understand that, and that's what's being taught, and
• 40:41
  Speaker 8: that's like the offense that everybody's doing right now, and
• 40:45
  Speaker 8: so it's easy, but it's not.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: Great for quarterback development.
• 40:49
  Speaker 9: But, like, Case didn't come off the street, right? And
• 40:52
  Speaker 9: he's been in locker rooms. He's been in meeting rooms.
• 40:55
  Speaker 9: He hasn't played, but to your point, but I do think, like,
• 40:58
  Speaker 9: Phillip Rivers coming straight from not playing in, like, five
• 41:02
  Speaker 9: years as a high school football coach and doing well
• 41:05
  Speaker 9: with his mind because he didn't have, you know, he
• 41:08
  Speaker 9: didn't have mobility. He couldn't throw it as far as
• 41:10
  Speaker 9: he once did. But he was successful because he understood
• 41:13
  Speaker 9: the game. He knew where to go with the football.
• 41:15
  Speaker 9: He knew where to put people. And that's like a
• 41:18
  Speaker 9: lost art.
• 41:19
  Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
• 41:19
  Speaker 9: That you just don't see with young quarterbacks. Now, the
• 41:21
  Speaker 9: arm talent and all that stuff that we talk about, yeah, sure,
• 41:24
  Speaker 9: that's there. But just imagine, hear me out, if you married.
• 41:28
  Speaker 8: Both those things. And that's what they're doing at the
• 41:32
  Speaker 8: NFL level. And hopefully it kind of gets to that. But, yeah,
• 41:36
  Speaker 8: it's a lost art. Not a lost art because you've
• 41:38
  Speaker 8: got to train it at some point. But, like, turning
• 41:40
  Speaker 8: your back to the defense. Doing things pre-snap. Getting your
• 41:44
  Speaker 8: team in the right look before the snap. Getting the
• 41:46
  Speaker 8: protection right. Calling the mics. Calling the safeties out for
• 41:48
  Speaker 8: their running game. You don't see that a lot now.
• 41:51
  Speaker 8: You see it some, but to me, it was really
• 41:54
  Speaker 8: put on the spotlight Monday night when a guy that
• 41:57
  Speaker 8: was 38, hadn't played in three years, gets in there
• 41:59

• 42:02
