1:59
SPEAKER_00: My son, who is in the high school but is in eighth grade, uh, he went and performed with the band at the at the high school game Friday night.
2:08
SPEAKER_00: So we did do that, and they did amazing.
2:10

SPEAKER_00: That's awesome.
2:14
SPEAKER_00: Um so shout out to Ty and and Norton and all their uh their middle school, their high school band.
2:23
SPEAKER_00: Um always a good time going out to that.
2:26
SPEAKER_00: Um so that that was fun.
2:28
SPEAKER_00: But uh your kids, uh, they do this thing, uh, I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, this is the fifth year uh that they had done it.
2:36
SPEAKER_00: It's like a showcase of um local high school bands, and I mean it it I the premise I took from it, I actually thought it was kind of neat.
2:46
SPEAKER_00: It was just like, hey, if you want to come, come.
2:48
SPEAKER_00: If you don't, you don't.
2:49
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they invite uh yeah, they invite you and if you you go, you go.
2:52
SPEAKER_00: And but this year you guys had a uh pretty cool main attraction.
2:56
SPEAKER_00: Uh I'll let you I'll let you tell that.
2:59
SPEAKER_02: But yeah, we we uh had Akron U uh marching band show up for that.
3:08
SPEAKER_02: Uh I didn't know about that until I don't know what two weeks ago when they released the lineup.
3:13
SPEAKER_02: I was like, ooh, hell Akron U's coming.
3:16
SPEAKER_02: I was like, this is this is gonna be good.
3:18
SPEAKER_02: You know, a college band.
3:20
SPEAKER_02: And and then I saw the list of the other bands that were gonna be there, and we had like nine high schools plus Akron.
3:27
SPEAKER_02: I was like, holy crap, ten bands?
3:28
SPEAKER_02: Like this is gonna be a long night, which I mean it started at seven.
3:32
SPEAKER_00: It went till almost ten, yeah, because I left at quarter after nine after Barbad and it was just it was cold, my back was hurting, and oddly enough, we didn't really even talk about it this morning, but it was weird.
3:45
SPEAKER_00: Right towards the end of it, I started to feel it was weird, like I started to get the feeling of where I shouldn't move my head because I was getting a dizzy spell.
3:57
SPEAKER_00: But if I moved my head, I didn't get dizzy.
3:59
SPEAKER_00: So it was like pre-a pre, it was like a pre-pre kind of thing.
4:04
SPEAKER_00: Well, it's good that it didn't, so that's no plus.
4:07
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it it it made me very nervous for the rest of the night.
4:10
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
4:11
SPEAKER_00: Just because I'm like, okay, great.
4:12
SPEAKER_00: Now are we telling me like these are only gonna last like a month?
4:15
SPEAKER_00: Because like you can only get them uh every three to six months.
4:19
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
4:19
SPEAKER_00: So it's like if it wears off, I just gotta kind of deal with it.
4:22
SPEAKER_00: But I thought, and then what what I told myself was is I'm like, okay, maybe it was just gonna be like a really bad one, and it was just gonna be bad enough that it kind of poked its head out like I'm still here, but I'm not gonna be as uh violent.
4:42
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so but I never got a dizzy spell or none of that kind of shit, but it just had that very early on feeling, and by the time by the time I went to bed, it seemed to be alright.
4:53
SPEAKER_00: I woke up feeling fine.
4:55
SPEAKER_02: That's great, man.
4:55
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it wasn't.
4:56
SPEAKER_00: Well, that's progress.
4:57
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
4:58
SPEAKER_00: It was it was a little nerve-wracking.
5:00
SPEAKER_00: And you had actually said it best last night, I I think, when you said um, you know, probably all the consistent loud music.
5:08
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
5:09
SPEAKER_00: Going to a football game, it's a little different.
5:11
SPEAKER_00: They only play a couple songs in the game, as long as you play a couple songs, but this was you know, two and a half hours of loud music.
5:17
SPEAKER_00: And good music.
5:18
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
5:19
SPEAKER_00: Like that's the one thing I will say.
5:21
SPEAKER_00: Um, not one of those bands sounded bad at all.
5:24
SPEAKER_00: Uh, just you could you could tell the difference in how good they were by the size.
5:32
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
5:33
SPEAKER_00: And I'm not saying that because you have more that makes you sound better, but it's just it radiates more, you can hear the notes a little better.
5:40
SPEAKER_00: It just seemed, and uh yeah, man, your your uh daughters, you know, because I know one's flag, one's banned, but man, that was that was something.
5:51
SPEAKER_00: And the fact that like they all had a theme and what Barbadon chose was I thought even cool.
5:56
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
5:56
SPEAKER_00: Because they did mental health.
5:57
SPEAKER_00: I thought that was pretty fucking cool.
5:58
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
5:59
SPEAKER_02: We did space last year, which was cool, but I I enjoy it this year too.
6:04
SPEAKER_02: I was like, when when we went to the the meeting over summer, this was before band camp even happened, and they were talking about what the theme was gonna be, and it was like mental health, huh?
6:15
SPEAKER_02: How are we gonna do that?
6:17
SPEAKER_02: And then they started listing off the songs that they were gonna be learning and performing.
6:21
SPEAKER_02: I was like, oh this is actually this is cool, this is gonna be some good songs.
6:26
SPEAKER_02: Right.
6:27
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, man, we got uh we got some good kids in the band.
6:31
SPEAKER_00: I I enjoy them, and I mean you got to see firsthand what they're all about, and then you know the one thing that I noticed that and and may maybe I I remember it differently, but there seemed to be no like every band was cheering the other band off, which I thought was pretty cool.
6:52
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you know, we grew up playing sports where you hated the opposing.
6:58
SPEAKER_00: Right.
6:58
SPEAKER_00: Um whereas here, like I could watch, you know, I can remember more because I'm I mean, you know me, like I I still think I had like AD, I don't think I had ADHD, but I do think I had like ADD.
7:09
SPEAKER_00: But I would notice these other bands walking by and whoever was playing, they'd be jamming out to it.
7:14
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you know, then they're clapping and shit, and I was like, man, that's that's pretty fucking cool.
7:18
SPEAKER_00: It's like okay, you know, this isn't this particular situation was a showcase as opposed to a competition, so it was like everybody was just kind of there to go by on.
7:27
SPEAKER_00: It was it was a it was a pretty cool, uh, pretty pretty cool experience.
7:31
SPEAKER_02: And our alma mater was there.
7:33
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that that was that was weird, right?
7:36
SPEAKER_00: It just because you know I haven't been back.
7:40
SPEAKER_00: Like I haven't been back to see a game.
7:42
SPEAKER_00: Like I I yeah, I I've yet to go back.
7:47
SPEAKER_00: And I I remember walking by when I was walking up because they were the first ones in the stands when you walked up, and I remember looking at them, and I was like, they look tiny.
7:58
SPEAKER_00: Like that was the first thing that popped in my head, but then I realized I was like, man, like like I went there.
8:04
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you know, I graduated there.
8:06
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean, well before any of them were thought of.
8:10
SPEAKER_00: Oh god, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
8:12
SPEAKER_00: But um, but I I I was proud to see to see the Scarlet and Gray East there, man.
8:19
SPEAKER_00: It it kind of and we had our own little little East section over there between me, you, your wife, your mother-in-law, and your brother-in-law.
8:28
SPEAKER_00: We all graduated from East.
8:30
SPEAKER_00: So yeah, it was it was nice.
8:35
SPEAKER_00: And then, you know, we had one other from the Akron cluster in uh and Schmel It.
8:42
SPEAKER_00: Shmel It.
8:43
SPEAKER_00: Uh, but they actually sounded good too, though.
8:46
SPEAKER_00: Like, I'm not gonna, you know, but again, I almost felt like maybe it was just my analytic brain, but it looked like they purposefully put them in order of smallest to largest.
9:04
SPEAKER_00: I was gonna say because like you know, the first couple were kind of close, and then you get into the third and fourth band, and they were a little bit bigger than the other ones, and then then and and you you could see the progression in in all of them.
9:17
SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
9:17
SPEAKER_00: But it that was one thing that hurt though, was how small East Band.
9:21
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
9:22
SPEAKER_00: Because I remember when we were there, it was pretty big from what I remember.
9:25
SPEAKER_00: I mean, maybe I'm misremembering a little bit, but I felt like it was at least twice.
9:29
SPEAKER_00: I would say at least twice the same.
9:31
SPEAKER_00: I thought so, but I you know, again, that was twenty-seven years ago.
9:36
SPEAKER_02: So long ass time, a whole a whole lifetime ago.
9:39
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, for sure.
9:40
SPEAKER_00: Uh lots happened in that time.
9:42
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no doubt.
9:43
SPEAKER_00: Uh more time has passed than I had lived up to that point.
9:47
SPEAKER_00: So yeah, I mean, it was it was fun.
9:52
SPEAKER_00: Like I said, I was afraid to wear my hoodie because like it's that weather, like we're we're in that weather where like it's 45 in the morning and it can get 80 by the afternoon.
10:02
SPEAKER_00: Right.
10:03
SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, all right, it was cold in the morning when I went to the grocery store, and it never really got super warm during the day, but it did warm up.
10:11
SPEAKER_00: It's like 68.
10:12
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and I was like, all right, cool.
10:14
SPEAKER_00: I hadn't anticipated how quickly the temperatures were up, so I just wore my Adidas jacket.
10:20
SPEAKER_00: And bruh, by the time Barbadine came on, man, my back was stiff, I was cold.
10:26
SPEAKER_00: Um, but it it was it was an absolute pleasure.
10:29
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna definitely try to come out next year, too.
10:31
SPEAKER_00: That was that was good, right?
10:33
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it was a lot of fun.
10:33
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm glad you I'm glad you came out.
10:35
SPEAKER_00: I know I get quiet and shit, but I'm a people watcher too.
10:38
SPEAKER_00: Like I tend to like keep my eyes on people and shit.
10:41
SPEAKER_00: And plus, you know.
10:42
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we we talked and had fun though, and we enjoyed and also you know, single moms.
10:49
SPEAKER_00: Band moms, too.
10:50
SPEAKER_00: You know, I'm sure most of them were married, but you know.
10:54
SPEAKER_00: A play I can dream.
10:57
SPEAKER_00: Uh but anyways.
10:59
SPEAKER_00: Um, what else?
11:01
SPEAKER_00: Uh uh yeah, the guards shit the bed in their first game.
11:05
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they did.
11:05
SPEAKER_00: That was wonderful.
11:06
SPEAKER_00: Three zip.
11:08
SPEAKER_00: Uh fucking doing exactly what I said earlier in our episodes.
11:12
SPEAKER_00: You never know what fucking team you're gonna get from the rest of the game.
11:15
SPEAKER_00: Like, I just don't get it.
11:17
SPEAKER_00: Like they had that run at the end, and I go, Oh, you shot your fucking load too soon.
11:21
SPEAKER_00: And they had uh, you know, four or five days off, so all the momentum they had is Well, and that's the worst.
11:28
SPEAKER_00: Like I I get it in games like you know, like football and shit like that, but dude, in baseball, like I know how momentum driven that can be.
11:39
SPEAKER_00: So if you get anything more than a day or two, that can really fuck you up.
11:43
SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah, no, it definitely uh sorry I got No, you're fine, you're fine crap of my eyes, just bother me.
11:49
SPEAKER_00: Uh for you audio listeners, you never see any of this shit.
11:52
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
11:55
SPEAKER_00: And I guess we'll talk about the other fucking elephant in the room since I've already got texts from everybody about it, but the Browns made my team look like assholes on Thursday night.
12:05
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
12:07
SPEAKER_00: Sorry.
12:07
SPEAKER_00: Nah, I mean, you know what?
12:09
SPEAKER_00: I I mean, the one thing you can say about me is I'm an honest sports fan, the Steelers suck.
12:15
SPEAKER_00: They're just not that good.
12:17
SPEAKER_00: They got good players.
12:18
SPEAKER_00: No, that's the thing though.
12:19
SPEAKER_00: Like, they have these players, like TJ Watt.
12:25
SPEAKER_00: Like, the funny thing is, is they're like mid-row defense, and it's strictly off the heels of him.
12:30
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, because they have nobody else.
12:32
SPEAKER_00: I they just traded Porter Jr.
12:34
SPEAKER_00: to fucking Dallas.
12:36
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, I saw that.
12:37
SPEAKER_00: So and they and they traded him for like a Chick-fil-A number five.
12:41
SPEAKER_00: Like nothing.
12:42
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, all right, dude, whatever.
12:44
SPEAKER_00: But that's you know, the Steelers do that.
12:47
SPEAKER_00: They've done it with everybody, Persico Burris, um, Mike Um Le'Veon Bell, Antonio Brown.
12:54
SPEAKER_00: I mean, they don't take that shit.
12:55
SPEAKER_00: If you're gonna be like that, they'll be like, there's the door dog.
12:58
SPEAKER_00: Yep.
12:58
SPEAKER_00: Like they don't care, they'll they'll sacrifice that shit.
13:01
SPEAKER_02: We'll replace you with somebody else.
13:03
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
13:03
SPEAKER_00: I mean, there's always people begging to have your spot.
13:06
SPEAKER_00: Um, but yeah, they they shit the bed, man.
13:08
SPEAKER_00: Aaron Rodgers just he looked like what a 42-year-old quarterback should fucking look like.
13:13
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
13:13
SPEAKER_00: Like now, the week prior when they played Cincinnati and looked like a fucking super bowl.
13:17
SPEAKER_00: That's that's what I'm saying.
13:18
SPEAKER_00: I I can't I can't figure out it's like he's he he has one good game and then he needs like three to re-fucking vitalize.
13:26
SPEAKER_00: And it's like, uh, I just wish Will Howard would get uh he'll get there.
13:32
SPEAKER_00: Well, he's injured.
13:33
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but he'll get there though.
13:34
SPEAKER_00: Uh our backup is still Mason fucking Rudolph.
13:38
SPEAKER_00: That guy's still around?
13:39
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
13:39
SPEAKER_00: Well for some reason we like to hold on to mediocre quarterbacks.
13:43
SPEAKER_00: I don't fucking get it.
13:44
SPEAKER_00: But we did draft Drew Larr too, though.
13:47
SPEAKER_00: He was a Pittsburgh native and shit, but I ain't heard shit about that guy.
13:50
SPEAKER_00: He's just on the depth chart.
13:52
SPEAKER_00: So I don't know what's going on with that.
13:53
SPEAKER_00: I say we get rid of Mason Rudolph.
13:55
SPEAKER_00: Fucking let's run with Rogers and two rookies and fucking see where it goes.
13:59
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
13:59
SPEAKER_00: I mean, that's not a not a bad guy to be learning behind your rookie year.
14:03
SPEAKER_00: That's what I mean.
14:03
SPEAKER_00: He did it with Brett Favre.
14:05
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, for three years before he took over.
14:07
SPEAKER_00: And then that that proved to be.
14:09
SPEAKER_00: I mean, fuck, if you want to be honest, Rogers turned out to be a better quarterback than Brett Favre.
14:14
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
14:15
SPEAKER_00: I mean, Rogers is going to be a Hall of Famer when this time is done.
14:18
SPEAKER_00: I think what Brett Favre was is, dude, he just it was like uh in signs.
14:23
SPEAKER_00: You ever seen the movie Signs when he's telling him to swing away?
14:26
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
14:26
SPEAKER_00: That's what fucking Brett Favre would just throw.
14:28
SPEAKER_00: He didn't give a fuck.
14:29
SPEAKER_00: Oh, no, no.
14:29
SPEAKER_00: He's just throwing it, he had no like He didn't care about interceptions, which I think was what made him a good quarterback.
14:36
SPEAKER_02: Well, he he was a gunslinger, but what I'm getting at where Rogers does this, he didn't, he had no touch in like, you know, one too.
14:46
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no, everything was a hundred miles.
14:50
SPEAKER_02: Breaking breaking fingers for receivers, defenders trying to they that's why defenders didn't want to deflect passes that close.
14:57
SPEAKER_00: He got the throw to one of the greatest receivers that never was, Sterling Sharp.
15:01
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and he went into the Hall of Fame, too.
15:03
SPEAKER_00: He I I I'm glad they put Sterling in there since his career was so short.
15:08
SPEAKER_00: Neck.
15:09
SPEAKER_00: Um, did you ever hear what uh Shannon Sharp said about it?
15:12
SPEAKER_00: He goes, I didn't even feel like I deserved the Hall of Fame.
15:14
SPEAKER_00: He was like, he was a much better football player than me.
15:16
SPEAKER_00: Um I remember I was a big fan of Sterling Sharp.
15:19
SPEAKER_00: I loved him.
15:20
SPEAKER_00: Uh, you know, because as kids we have teams, but we like players.
15:23
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
15:24
SPEAKER_00: You know, and he was one of the ones I liked.
15:27
SPEAKER_00: Um, I always liked Green Bay.
15:29
SPEAKER_00: It was like a third or fourth, you know, because you had your team, but then you had other teams, and Green Bay was one of the ones that I always like watching.
15:36
SPEAKER_00: Because, dude, like you said, dude, Brett Favre was out there like wide hurt.
15:39
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, just like he could throw six touchdowns, but he might have five picks that but you'd win the game, and that's what mattered.
15:47
SPEAKER_00: He didn't give a fuck.
15:48
SPEAKER_00: And I think that's you know, I think that was the end of that era.
15:53
SPEAKER_00: I think the late 90s and going into the 2000s, I think that's where, especially football, but probably just sports in general, got stat driven.
16:02
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
16:02
SPEAKER_00: It really wasn't as much about yeah, it wasn't as much about winning.
16:06
SPEAKER_00: Like it's like, okay, we can win, but we don't need to win the championship.
16:10
SPEAKER_00: Let's just put a good product out there and like sell tickets.
16:14
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and sell tickets.
16:15
SPEAKER_00: I mean, and and I'm not shitting on him because I actually kind of like Russell Westbrook, but he's a perfect example of that.
16:20
SPEAKER_00: The dude averaged your triple double to one year, but he's never won anything.
16:23
SPEAKER_00: Right.
16:24
SPEAKER_00: You know, that's true.
16:25
SPEAKER_00: And I don't know if that's his goal, but I don't know if that's his goal.
16:29
SPEAKER_02: But he retired.
16:30
SPEAKER_00: Oh, Westbrook retired this year?
16:32
SPEAKER_00: Oh, I missed that.
16:33
SPEAKER_00: Oh, well, good for him, man.
16:35
SPEAKER_00: I know he got a lot of flack, and there was a lot of people who said he couldn't play, but or or like he was hard to play with, but I don't know.
16:42
SPEAKER_00: I feel like at least with him, it's the difference between James Harden.
16:47
SPEAKER_00: Like Russell Westbrook was gonna show up every night.
16:49
SPEAKER_00: Right.
16:50
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes Harden just won't fucking care and not.
16:53
SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
16:53
SPEAKER_00: Like, and I'm not, I'm not, and again, I'm not saying, I mean, obviously, I couldn't be in the NBA.
16:58
SPEAKER_00: Right.
16:59
SPEAKER_00: You know, I there's just something to say, you know, people can talk about the GOAT debate all you want, but the one thing you can't say outside of early LeBron in his career not having the the uh killer instinct, yeah, um, the dude gave it 150 fucking percent every he didn't care what position he played, so you know you can say what you want about it, but he showed up every fucking night.
17:22
SPEAKER_00: He did.
17:23
SPEAKER_02: So and you know, the shit that he had around him in the early years in Cleveland, I can't believe they tried to put they it was like you ever see the movie Semi Pro?
17:36
SPEAKER_00: Yes, it was like they took them and said, All right, you gotta win with these dudes.
17:40
SPEAKER_00: Yes, you know, and I'm not shitting on the guys that played because like I actually liked Larry Hughes and I liked Drew Gooden and I liked a couple of those guys, but you weren't building a championship around that shit.
17:50
SPEAKER_00: Like you just weren't, you know, Z was at the end of his, he was fucking hurt half the season by that time.
17:56
SPEAKER_00: Like by the late 2000s, like early when LeBron first came, it was cool, but LeBron was still becoming the chosen one.
18:05
SPEAKER_02: I I really think had Z not had the foot problems that he did, and he if you ever that that was like his kryptonite when when he got when he got put into pick and roll situations, it was like a sloth in mud.
18:19
SPEAKER_00: I mean he just could not get out of his own way in that no, and I I think he was more I think he felt more like a like an inner perimeter big guy.
18:34
SPEAKER_00: Because he had touch on that little shot of him.
18:36
SPEAKER_00: His mid-range was deadly.
18:38
SPEAKER_00: It was like dirt.
18:39
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
18:40
SPEAKER_00: I mean dirt was much better, of course, but I'm just saying, like, he had that mid-range touch shot.
18:45
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
18:46
SPEAKER_00: You know, that a lot of those big guys didn't.
18:48
SPEAKER_02: If it was if he was playing in today's era, he would be He'd play for 20 years and probably average 20 and 20.
18:56
SPEAKER_02: He'd be a three-point line guy.
18:58
SPEAKER_00: He would be averaging the shit out of some shit.
19:00
SPEAKER_02: And not he would play mediocre defense like he always did, but at 7-3 you can block shots, which he did.
19:06
SPEAKER_02: I mean, he was one of my favorite cavs.
19:09
SPEAKER_02: I loved him, man.
19:09
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
19:10
SPEAKER_00: And he loved it here.
19:11
SPEAKER_00: He still lives here.
19:12
SPEAKER_00: So even after his wife passed away and shit.
19:15
SPEAKER_00: Oh, that was so sad.
19:16
SPEAKER_00: I know.
19:16
SPEAKER_00: He was such a nice guy, too.
19:18
SPEAKER_00: I I I can remember, I never got to, but I remember hearing people talk about how, like, when he would get his autograph and shit, he would be just as excited as the people who know where they come from, that shit don't know.
19:31
SPEAKER_00: But yeah, there's we've talked about, let's see, that was there anything else really, I don't think nothing else crazy happened in sports.
19:40
SPEAKER_02: No.
19:40
SPEAKER_02: It's just it right now it's uh college football is rolling.
19:44
SPEAKER_02: We could I mean I didn't watch uh I didn't watch the Buckeyes last, you know, I didn't have time.
19:51
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
19:51
SPEAKER_00: I can I I I tell you this, and I'll tell you guys.
19:54
SPEAKER_00: Um I may not watch a lot of the games, but I can still sit there and talk about it because I follow them on my phone.
20:00
SPEAKER_00: Right.
20:00
SPEAKER_00: I get the updates, I go in, I look at highlights.
20:03
SPEAKER_00: I um because I just have sometimes I don't have time.
20:07
SPEAKER_00: Like Thursday night, you know, I had time because it was late at night.
20:11
SPEAKER_00: I watched the Steelers Brown game, which was a mistake.
20:14
SPEAKER_00: But uh the fact that we even came back was I know we kind of got off that, but it was when I fell asleep, it was like 21-7, 21-10.
20:23
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
20:23
SPEAKER_00: And I was like, oh, this game's over.
20:25
SPEAKER_00: Yep.
20:25
SPEAKER_00: Then I woke up and I was like, holy shit, it became a game.
20:28
SPEAKER_00: They made a game out of it.
20:29
SPEAKER_00: And then I I don't know what to say, man.
20:32
SPEAKER_00: I'm I'm I'm have starting to have a or starting to get the feeling that I might eat my words about Deshaun Watson.
20:39
SPEAKER_00: I mean, consistent, he's been consistent.
20:42
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I'm not saying he's a fucking all-pro quarterback right now, but he's winning them fucking games.
20:46
SPEAKER_00: That's the thing.
20:47
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I still think Shador should be in there, but I mean, he's they're winning games.
20:52
SPEAKER_00: They're winning games.
20:52
SPEAKER_00: He's doing what he can.
20:54
SPEAKER_00: You know, whatever, whatever's they're doing, it's it's working.
20:58
SPEAKER_00: Right.
20:59
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I don't know.
21:01
SPEAKER_00: Like I said, my Steelers are ass, so I can't.
21:04
SPEAKER_00: I just I I don't I like I like Mike McCarthy.
21:08
SPEAKER_00: I think he's gonna do good, but I just I think we should have just let Aaron Rodgers go, man.
21:15
SPEAKER_02: Well, I mean, the guy's 500 years old.
21:18
SPEAKER_02: I mean, I don't think I'd be.
21:20
SPEAKER_00: I I think he's still if you were to put him on like say a Baltimore with that line, yeah.
21:29
SPEAKER_00: Or like maybe like I'm trying to think of another team that has a good stout, like maybe San Francisco, something like that with a really stout offensive line.
21:40
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think he could still be a formidable quarterback.
21:43
SPEAKER_00: But th the Steelers did nothing to beef up their offensive line this offseason.
21:48
SPEAKER_00: They drafted a couple of linemen, none of them are playing.
21:51
SPEAKER_02: Right.
21:52
SPEAKER_00: Um and we just let Joey Porter Junior go.
21:57
SPEAKER_00: So our defense I just I don't know.
21:59
SPEAKER_00: I mean I've been saying that they should, but I feel like they're now they're truly rebuilding.
22:05
SPEAKER_00: And after Aaron's gone this year, we'll be the bottom of the division.
22:09
SPEAKER_00: Because you still got uh Burrow, Lamar, and even if you don't have Watson, you got Shadur Sanders and that other rookie you guys the Browns drafted.
22:19
SPEAKER_00: We're gonna be the bottom of the we'll be the bottom of the barrel.
22:22
SPEAKER_00: And that's alright, man.
22:23
SPEAKER_00: That shit goes in cycles.
22:25
SPEAKER_00: I just hope we don't get in one of those really, really long ones.
22:29
SPEAKER_00: But then again, I can't complain either because I did see him win two Super Bowls in my lifetime, so I guess I can't really complain too much.
22:35
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, same thing with me with the Packers.
22:37
SPEAKER_02: I've I've seen, you know, I got to see him win when Favre was there, and then I got to see uh Rogers.
22:43
SPEAKER_02: I know, right over over Pittsburgh.
22:46
SPEAKER_00: That could have been number seven, motherfucker.
22:48
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
22:49
SPEAKER_00: But that's alright.
22:50
SPEAKER_00: The better team won that day.
22:52
SPEAKER_00: That was a good football game, though.
22:57
SPEAKER_00: What do we want to get?
22:58
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
22:58
SPEAKER_00: What do we want to get to next?
22:59
SPEAKER_00: I'm drawing a blank.
23:01
SPEAKER_00: I was trying to keep it going so it's smooth, but I ain't gonna lie.
23:03
SPEAKER_00: I Yeah, there's nothing like the week was so slow and just Yeah, it was it was slow but fast, if that makes any fucking sense to anybody.
23:11
SPEAKER_00: Like now that we're looking back, it went by fast, but it felt like every fucking day was dragging.
23:17
SPEAKER_02: Just the same shit every day.
23:19
SPEAKER_00: Except for yesterday seemed to go by pretty fucking fun.
23:21
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yesterday was fun though.
23:22
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
23:23
SPEAKER_02: I mean I did it, I slept most of it away because I felt like ass, but uh still did my thing for the kids, and uh, you know, again, that was a fun time.
23:32
SPEAKER_02: And I think I have uh pictures and stuff we could uh Yeah, I'll throw a couple up.
23:37
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
23:38
SPEAKER_02: I didn't do a whole lot because I told you I wanted uh to watch.

SPEAKER_02: So my daughter was uh extremely shocked that you were there.
23:46
SPEAKER_02: She said thank you.
23:47
SPEAKER_02: That was awesome that you showed up.
23:48
SPEAKER_00: Oh dude, when she waved at me, I was like, Oh, she actually like cared that I was there.

SPEAKER_00: Yeah, of course, man.
23:55
SPEAKER_00: I you know, like I said, I know I dipped out quick, but dude, I was in pain by that end, dude.
