• 2:23
  Speaker 8: But yeah, he was like whenever I was in college,
• 2:26
  Speaker 8: So I guess, yes, ten years he was sixteen and
• 2:28

• 2:33
  Speaker 6: Got out of jail in March of twenty five. Welcome
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: all right too, aay, nice job.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: So I'm sure he's back in the Beat Laboratory drops
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: some lyrics looking forward to his album probably in twenty
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: twenty seven. Uh, you know who else I'm I don't
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: really care, but I'm going to say I'm looking forward
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: to seeing I'm looking to see if this Cleveland Browns
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: quarterback battle plays out this year. And Jake is in Cleveland,
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: so when he joins the show here in a couple
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: of minutes, I'm sure he'll have some sort of takes
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: about the Browns. I'm really kind of interested on his
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: past couple of days, way more than what he's going
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: to be seeing and doing today in Cleveland training camp.
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: But again, I can't avoid it because it is on
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: my social media timeline all the time, the Deshaun Watson
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: Shador Sanders quarterback battle.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: It is one of.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: Four quarterback battles, true battles that are happening in the
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: NFL right now. So of course it is going to
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: be it is going to be newsworthy, It is going
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: to be top of everybody's mind because it is one
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: of the things that people can speculate, speculate about about
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: the most important position in football. So are you tired?
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: Is anybody tired about hearing about Deshaun Watson and Chador Sanders.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: Anybody tired of it yet? Of our weekend? You're already tired.
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: I turned the radio on today in a national show,
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: how it All turned it off? A media loans I'm
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: out of this, yep.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: I heard it clip with Todd Monkin speaking yesterday talking
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: very highly of Shador Sanders, and I'm all reports say
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: Shad has been a very good professional.
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: It works very hard.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: He was given it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: He gave some sound clips yesterday about how Shador is
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: not afraid to ask questions, and he was giving him
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: a compliment, but it was also kind of like it
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: sounded like a little bit of a backhanded compliment. He's like,
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: even if they're dumb questions, even if it's questions that
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: most people would be afraid to ask because they'll get
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: laughed at or made fun of.
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: And he's like, he'll ask basically stuff you should already know,
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: so asking to pretty much saying he's asking really dumb questions.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: But no question is a dumb question. That's what they
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: tell you that.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: He said, Yeah, he's you know, for example, he's not
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: afraid to ask, you know, whether a shirt's a blue
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: shirt is blue or not just because he and I'm like, okay, so, like, how.
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: Dumb are these questions? The comparison you have made.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: Is that, for example, is he would ask if a
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: blue shirt is actually like what makes a blue? Or
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: why is it blue? Or is it actually blue? Those
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: that's the comparison you're making.
• 5:02
  Speaker 8: Yeah, question Jacob Mierowski Forrest Gump, like.
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: He's calling yeah him for Gump.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Like right now.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: But it was wild because it wasn't a sarcastic tone.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: It was just like he was actually giving him a
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: compliment about being in quick.
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: It was kind of backhanded.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:23
  Speaker 8: So for the Shadoor lovers out there not to be outdone,
• 5:29
  Speaker 8: Deshaun Watson outshined him yesterday, according to reports.
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: Oh wow, so that's big.
• 5:36
  Speaker 8: My question is And then another report says Dylan Gabriel
• 5:41
  Speaker 8: making some noise.
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: Oh is he Yeah? We can't have that. We can't
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: have that.
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: I love Dylan Gabriel.
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: I do love that.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Nobody's even mentioned like did it they did it last year?
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: And he beats you at the beginning of the season.
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah he got Jake wowo, hell, hey it's Jacob Pastor.
• 5:59
  Speaker 8: Everybody, are you an sec plant up in Cleveland.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, it doesn't mean more.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Hey buddy, what's going on? Did how are you doing?
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: You?
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: Are you exhausted?
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Yet? I asked what day of the week. It was yesterday,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: And I feel like that's like the sign of your
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: into camp.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: I mean, that's you have to kind of feel like
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: you're actually in training camp right now.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: A little bit, yeah, a little bit. Pat could have
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: told me Saturday and I've been like, yep, it's Saturday.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: It was not Saturday yesterday. But you know, it's fun
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: a lot of travel. I'm seeing parts of the country
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: that I've never seen before, that's for sure. Never been
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: to Rochester, New York. Never driven through Toledo on my
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: way to Cleveland, Ohio. So you know, at least at
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: least getting a chance. Because we flew for most of
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: the stops the first four and then these next ones
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: were drive. So we drove from Detroit to Cleveland, Cleveland
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: to Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh to Baltimore, and then we get back
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: on the plane for god knows what the next stop is.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: I think I think Kansas City.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: Maybe they are so they're making you travel, not making
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: you part of your What you get to do is
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: travel around to different training camps. But they're making you
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: go stand in the rental car line, get a rental
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: car and drive across the.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Northeast for parts of it.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: How much how much windshall time have you had already?
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Well, we just had our first drive, I think as
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: that was yesterday, it's like two and a half hours.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: I think three hours from Detroit to Cleveland. I think
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: all over, like two and a half three hours. Maybe
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: a little bit longer some of these, but not too bad.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: But I think by the time we get done trying
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: to get a flight into some of these places. So yeah,
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: a little road warrior.
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: You know, right the first time you step foot I
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: guess it would have been last week, but I'm sure
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: it doesn't get old every single day you step on
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: the practice field and that first time you heard that
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: whistle and strength coaches and low level position coaches start
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: to yell and scream, did it like send shivers down
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: your spine a little bit?
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: A little bit? And but you know what, like immediately
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't have to listen to you. Joke's
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: on you right now because typically you and I we
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: would be running around like looking around like, okay, where
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: are we supposed to go. We hear whistles, we hear
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: clapping cuss. That's what those Streets coaches do, clapping cuss.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: But I will say there's only been one time that
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: I've really missed being on the field because you know me,
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: like we're both done, like we don't miss that. But
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: we were at Bill's camp and they had like six fights.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: It was first day of pads. That's gonna happen a lot,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: but it was a yeah, it was a lot. But
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: it was a middle linebacker who was doing a lot
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: of the instigating, and I was like, oh, man, I
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: wish I could go put on pads and just go
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: like seek that guy out on like an ISO run,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: just to shut him up real quick.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Hm.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: That's the only time I've missed.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: It, though, So did did anybody shut him up? God?
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: I gotta get the guy credit. No, I mean he.
• 9:12
  Speaker 9: Pretty good, kept making just kept making plays. One of
• 9:15
  Speaker 9: them was a little you know, to the echo of
• 9:17
  Speaker 9: the whistle. The echo had finished one of his hits,
• 9:21
  Speaker 9: and he got He did get.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: Cleaned up a little bit, but one of the offensive lines.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: Anybody any fights of note, like any good ones? Anybody
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: hit something besides a helmet.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: No, they were actually good. They were good fights. Like
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: you didn't have guys swinging in helmets like you know,
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: they were actually using their football pads and like knocking
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: people down and tackling each other to the ground. And
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: so it was actually smart football fights.
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: You don't say like, I don't think enough in the
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: football fights, enough body blows get thrown.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: I don't think Sure.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Hit somebody in the gut one time, they'll stop.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: Okay, So let's see, we talked to you two days
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: ago when you were in Buffalo and you had just
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: been on that. That was right on the heels being in
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: New England yesterday. As for interests of a lot of
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: LSU fans, you got to go to Detroit camp because
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: of Kelvin Shephard, of course, being the defensive coordinator there
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: doing great things in his coaching career. You got a
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: chance to catch up with him yesterday. But tell us
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: give us a little rundown of the Detroit Lions camp.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, you're gonna be shocked by this. You liked
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: it physical, You're gonna be shocked. You're gonna be shocked
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: a very physical team when when Dan walks into the
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: room and we've had a chance to you know, these
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: head coaches have been great with their time, but when
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Dan walks in a room, it's just like the intensity
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: and the volume and like just the overall feeling goes
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: up like ten notches, like you kind of like you're
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: bouncing in your chair a little bit. He has that
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: kind of effect on a room. So like, I just
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: I love it, you know that. I Mean, he's my
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: style kind of guy. So you can imagine like what
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: the practices are like. But it's fun to like he's like, look,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: I got like four rules. He's like, you know, just
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: be on time, work hard, don't disrespect your teammates, don't
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: disrespect anybody in the building. He's like, if you do
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: those four things, like, we're gonna have a lot of
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: fun playing football. And you could tell the guys just
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: love him, like when they talk about him. And so
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: we had Josh. We had our most interviews yesterday because
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: we had Chef, which I'm gonna send that to y'all.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Just got that. Send that to you. Also, our listeners
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: can hear we had Dan, we had the gm Aiden,
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Hudginson was great, Jared Golf was great, Jack Campbell was great.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: So it's a it's a veteran still kind of hungry though,
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: franchise for Detroit. So I enjoy I enjoyed yesterday a lot.
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: How is it tell me about Jared Goff, because like,
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: on the surface seems a little like, uh, it seems
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: a little white bread a little bit when it comes
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: to like an interview.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: He yeah, he was. He was good. So my partner
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Pat Kerwin, he had had him before, and he goes, man,
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: that guy just continues to get batter and better. I
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: was like, what do you mean, because well we first
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: came into the league, you know, you didn't get that.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: And I was like, what was it like, he's like
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: very reserved. He didn't get a lot of long answers.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: And I thought, yesterday, that's my first time that I've
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: ever had him. I thought he was I thought it
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: was fantastic. Maybe it's like his play. He just gets
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: better every year.
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's uh, certainly he's one of the easily in
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: the top ten and really creeping up on top five,
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: especially last year.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Incredible the last three years, Matt, the last three years,
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: he's had the most wins, the most yards, the most
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: touchdowns in the second best quarterback rating.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, still shocking to me that they didn't make the
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: playoffs last year with that that that room, but a
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: couple of games didn't go their way. But look, you
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: turned your eyes to the rising sun in Cleveland?
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Oh is the sun?
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: Are you going to go to the Rock and Roll
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: Hall of Fame? What else is there to do? I
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: guess you could go watch practice. I've been talking about
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: how my timeline is just all it is is Arizona
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: Cardinals clips from training camp and Cleveland Brown's quarterback clips
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: from training camp.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know why.
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: I don't know if like they just think I want
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: to be punished all day long on social media. But like,
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: what are you looking forward to? I guess in Brown's
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: camp today?
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: It's a fair question. I mean we were so we
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: were sitting having dinner last night and the Browns were
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: on ESPN on Sports Center and they were talking about
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: the quarterback battle, and we had a couple of Browns
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: fan sitting next to us to go, why are we
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: on main ESPN? We should be over on channel three
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: on the local news, And like I just started laughing
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: because you're right, like they're everywhere, and I mean, it's
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: a quarterback battle, sure, but I'm not sure that it
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: really matters that Now their defense will be good. I mean,
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: I'm interested in Todd Munkin. Like if Todd Munkin wasn't here,
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: I don't I don't know what my main thing would be.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: But you and I know him well. He coached us
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: at LSU, so I'm looking forward to having him as
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: a head coach. This will be the first place we
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: don't get a quarterback, though, So think about it. We've
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: had Justin, Herbert Drake May, Josh Allen, Jared Golf, and
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: this is the first team that's not gonna give us
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: a quarterback. And I get it, like they don't have one.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: You know, they're in their position battle or whatever. But
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: it's just kind of funny. We've had those four quarterbacks
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: and this is the stop that we don't We don't
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: get one. So, like, I don't know what to make
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: of Cleveland. If you don't have a quarterback, can you
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: really do anything in the NFL? I don't think so.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: I do think they have other things that are good.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: I think they got good running backs, good defense. It'd
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: be interesting to see those receivers that they took early
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: in the draft case. He concept she on somebody we've
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: talked a lot about. So I mean there's intriguing things
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: more than the quarterback battle, because I think the quarterback
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: battle it's like which one's not going to be the worst.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: It's kind of the feeling right now, like maybe I
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: get proved wrong today, but that's the feeling kind of
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: going going into it right now.
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: Here's just my quick view of the quarterback situation in Cleveland.
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: You have two first rounders next year, you got like
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: a billion first round picks in the next couple of years.
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: You have a fifth round draft pick from last year
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: that you're looking at potentially being the starter. And you
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: have a guy that's vastly overpaid, has had like has
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: had terrible troubles off the field, and he has zero
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: value to anybody in the NFL except to you. You're
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: the only person that de Shaun Watson has value to.
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: If you have two first round picks next year, you
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: just traded Miles Garrett, So you're not gonna win the
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: Super Bowl this year.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Everybody knows that.
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: I would think you start Shador Sanders and see what
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: you have and in that if you can, if for
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: somehow he plays to an exceptional like position, like, obviously
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: he's in the battle first starting quarterback against the Shaun Watson,
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: who's proven in the past he can be a good
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: NFL quarterback. Like, maybe there's something there and you can
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: ride this out with two first round picks with a
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: fifth a quarterback on a fifth round contract. But or
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: he proves that he can play and you trade him
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: and you get value from another team that sees value
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: in him, You get something back for him. But if
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: you start Deshaun Watson, You're not gonna get any value
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: out of him because he doesn't hold any value to
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: thirty one other teams in the NFL. So that's my
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: viewpoint on it. And I don't see why this is
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: dragging on. I think Todd munct had said in the off
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: season he wants the decision to be done by training camp,
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: and obviously that hadn't happened.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I agree with you. What do you get
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: with Deshaun Watson, Like how hard are you really fighting
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: to win seven games? Or do you want to plan
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: for the future? Do you want to see what you
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: have in either Shouldah or Sanders are Dylan Gabriel Because
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Dylan Gabriel the analytics of what he did last year
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: were better than Shadra Sanders. And he's still getting reps
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: in camp with you know the ones, and you know,
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: not as many as the other two guys. But Todd
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Munkett did like mention that he's getting at least some
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: and so maybe he's in this competition. But I think
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Deshaun Watson, if you go out there and you start him,
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: it doesn't make sense for the future unless he's just
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: like head and shoulders way better than the other guys,
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: and like, I gotta win some games too, but it
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: hasn't been that yet, and so planning for the future,
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: just finally, go get your quarterback, like like you haven't
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: had one, like Baker's the closest thing that you've had
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: to a franchise quarterback since like Bernie Kozar. So like,
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: go find that guy that you can, you know, rally behind.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Maybe you have one rough year with him too, But
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: look at what Drake may, look at what bow Nicks,
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: look at what Justin Herbert, look at what Caleb Williams,
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: look at what Jade Dams, all these young stud quarterbacks
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: have done to their franchise. That can be you too, Cleveland.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: But you have to go draft the guy and don't
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: you know you've drafted what Johnny Manzel? And uh was
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Brandon Whedon? Was he a first round pick? Feels like it?
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, are we doing.
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: Like, look, Cleveland's in a unique position where they got
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: so many first round picks. If for something like somehow
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: like they just need to get de Shaun Watson if
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: he hasn't won the job by now, clear cut, that experiment,
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: to me would be over because if I can, if
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: I'm rolling the dice with a brand new head coach
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: and say, if we can strike gold and find a
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: franchise quarterback on a fifth round rookie contract, and we
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: got so many first rounds in the future, the blueprints
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: out there with other teams, like, there's no reason we
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: shouldn't be a playoff team very fast, Like those things
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: turn over very fast if you have a quarterback on
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: a rookie contract. So we'll see, Hey, let me ask
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: you this, are you sticking around with us for another
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: segment or.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Uh, yeah, because we are, Yeah, I'll stick around. We
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: are actually going to Pittsburgh tomorrow and we're getting your boy. Yeah,
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: And so like I need some background information, like I
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: need some help them, you know, some old stories to
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: maybe you know, break the stories.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I got you.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: I mean more stories are great. Yeah, but like also
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: like you know the dumb stuff.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Well that's what I was wanting the locker room. I
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: was thinking when you asked that, I was like, do
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: you want well, how like how bad do you want
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: to keep your job?
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: How how deep do these stories want to go?
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: So you'll stick with us, we talk a little bit
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: more about I guess maybe the Browns both a little
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: bit about Steelers than all of Jake's other travels. So

  Speaker 3: by the way, Oh wow, the only yeah, the only,
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: the only two day trip that we have because the
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: first day, I think they have a normal practice and
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: then that's when we get like all the interviews and stuff.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: And then then the following day they have like a
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: very open at a local high school nighttime scrimmage that's
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: like a big deal apparently nice, and we're doing the
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: show from like the middle of the stands. They said,
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: like's gonna be set up like I'm a fifty yard
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: line Yeah, in the middle of the the middle of
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: this high school stadium with fans all around us. And
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: so I'm like, all.
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: Right, bro, you got need security. Tell me group he's
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: trying to get your autograph.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Uh probably just probably actually just to yeah, how bad
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: the Chargers suck?
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: You know, I'll tell you what the scenes from you know,
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: I was watching McAfee the other day and the scenes
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: from the Pittsburgh training camp have been awesome. You like, electric,
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: tons of people there, beautiful, beautiful scener It looks like
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: they're a nice, pretty little college. Yeah, it's been, really,
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: it's been. It was good coverage from there, and like
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: I was at during my time, some good training camps Packers,
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: we we usually have a lot of fans and things
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: like that, but man, that was the kind of a
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: different level.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I was the same way with the Buffalo Bills
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: because they're like, again, they're at a small D three
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: college too, and I was like, I don't really know
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: what to expect, and it was all the fans, right,
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: there's so many, so many fans and so like, I
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: don't know I guess like everybody gets to go to
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: these small colleges. It's probably I don't know where where
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: it's as like an hour away, I think for Pittsburgh.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: So you get all these different fans from all these
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: different areas, and it's really you know, I mean, it's
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: the only access that you get. Like you're not going
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: to get any access anywhere remotely close to this for
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: the rest of the year. So you know, actually everywhere
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: we've been has had great fans. Now, the Patriots got
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: rained out, so I don't know what theirs look like,
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: but Chargers bills and I don't know. We'll see about Cleveland.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: Let's see, let's see, we'll see if they're out.
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I would assume they are. My god,
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: they apparently every video crew in the country, maybe the
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: world is there filming every single snap.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Like that's just.
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: Think and every time, like these quarterbacks weren't GoPros on
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: their helmets too. Is have you seen that in a
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: lot of camps or is that nope, just Cleveland?
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's a monkin thing.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: Maybe I wonder, man, what are you looking at?
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: That's a good point, like what in the hell are
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: you doing?
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Kid?
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: I mean I kind of like it. That's one thing.
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: The one now I make fun of a lot of
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: the new technology that people try to add to practices.
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: I made fun of like that VR thing like ten
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: years ago that was that had the big pole that
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: was sitting right behind the quarterback when they were taking
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: dry But the GoPro on the head is actually something
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: I can get behind because if you want to fix
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: a quarterback sometimes because sometimes they'll tell you what they saw,
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: tell you what they're looking at. But then like they're
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: kind of a lot of times at CYA like I
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: didn't see this or whatever, they can the coaches can
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: now see exactly what you're seeing, which I kind of like.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean they're going through the progression with you,
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: and if you're not going through based off the coverage,
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: they're gonna be like, no, you didn't, I got it
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: right here. So yeah, I mean I don't I don't look,
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: I don't hate it.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: And again, anything you can do to get good quarterback,
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: they got to try.
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: To do it, no doubt speaking a good quarterback play
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: Are you gonna lead with a Fauci question.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: With I was thinking about it? Who I mean, get
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: right off the top, didn't get him going, get him
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: moving around a little bit?
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: Ye?
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: Was this?
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: Was he a crime against humanity? That's I think that's
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: what you should start with.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: What did he what did he keep calling him? Coward?
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Coward? For sure?
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: I mean kind of like we called Notre Dame cowards.
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: He was calling the coward, which you don't think anyone
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: can disagree with. Yeah, have you ever have you ever
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: talked to him before? What's your plan with him?
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: I've never. No, I've never. I don't think. Yeah, I mean,
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: like besides, like you know, like you and I being
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: slappies in the middle of field, I'm coming up and
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: saying hello, Right, all right, that's it? So no, no,
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: this might it's gonna be my first Aaron Rodgers experience.
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: Okay, good, Well, it's gonna be a good When he
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: talks ball, it's fantastic.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: He's gotta you have to get him to talk ball.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I figured that that's you know, that's gonna be
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: my sweet spot. I'm not you know, I'm not gonna
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: talk anything that he hadn't already explained on the Macfie
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: the other day.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: I'll give you.
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: I'll give you some more icebreakers, like via text, But
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: they're one thing. When I was in Green Bay used
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: to make fun of him for it. Him and Graham
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: Harrold decided there was one of our equipment managers that
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: was like an intern that was at one of the
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: colleges there. He went to Saint Norbert's College and uh,
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: right outside of Green Bay, and he was in a
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: t K E fra turn. He was a teak, and
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: Graham and Aaron thought it'd be funny to make him
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: convince him that they were also teaks back at their college,
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: and they got somebody to like tell him what the
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: secret handshake was. So like, I guess teaks have a
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: secret handshake like this throughout the country for every t K.
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: And like he was convinced that they were, and they
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: brought they brought Graham and Aaron to a Saint Norbert's
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: like secret like t K E meeting TK and they
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: had to do like the handshake at the door to
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: get into the party and stuff like that. So this
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: went on for a year, and I was like, man, y'all,
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: are y'all are gonna when they when he finds out,
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: y'all are going to destroy that kid.
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: I went forward so forever he's a teak.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: All right, that's that's that's I need to go learn
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: the secret handshake, though, Yeah you.
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: Should just say, hey, I heard you were a t
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: k E. I'm also one. Can you do the handshake?
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: I heard you and Graham Harrell big it huge, It's
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: gonna yeah, it's definitely gonna be it.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll get you some more stuff that like if
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: you want to.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, because you know I was. I was. I'm
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: gonna be honest with you. I was a little surprised
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: that he agreed to do it, just because you know, obviously,
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: you know, late in his career he had the mcav show.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: Everybody's kind of playing out there. I think you're like,
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: you know, hey, I said my piece, and now I
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: get to go just do training camp. But he agreed
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: to do it, So I'm excited, Like I'm excited about,
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: you know, getting them chopping up, and I think I
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: think telling how big of a slappy you are?
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: I think former players is you know, it's you got
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: a good you got the best shot at getting an
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: interview with him. I did see have you ever followed
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: the guy that throws like Aaron? He he used to
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: dress up like him and he throws like him, and
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: he's like the fake air Riders. Well, he got like
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: all access to their train, to their Steelers. I was
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: watching his clips yesterday Steelers training something like he was
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: in the dining hall eating with him and DK and
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: talking and and chopping it up up with them, all
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: of it like being recorded and stuff like we need
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: that guy. All we got to do is try to
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: act like somebody. And he does a pretty fantastic job too.
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: And he was like throwing the football on like with
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: Will Howard on the on the on the field after
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: practice and stuff.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: How is this guy social media? Dude? And you got
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: famous for just throwing like Aaron Well, I mean, to.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: His credit, nobody throws it like a Rod. I mean,
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: if you look, if you can you know, if you
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: can replicate it, you're doing something right.
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: Hey, quick quick thoughts on before we let you go
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: here and go to break. Quick thoughts on not a
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: lot came out of LSU training camp yesterday besides the
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: thing that people are talking about DJ Pickett wear at
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: number five, any thoughts of that.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, A little surprised. We've had this conversation so many
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: times before. I mean there's like four people that we
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: would go ahead and we would retire the number for
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: them when you went a Heisman Trophy. You know, Billy
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: Cannon numbers obviously been retired for a long time. I
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: guess I thought that twenty nine and five are going
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: to be retired forever. So I guess surprising more more
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: than anything. Like I don't think anybodys are gonna wear
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: nine again, So why why we're five unless like a
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: Heisman and a national championship is like the thing, you know,
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: maybe to where you get your number fully retired. I
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: don't know who wears fifteen. I don't even know anybody,
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: anybody really, Yeah, but real quick, real real quick for anybody,
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: because I thought about this a long time yesterday because
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: I was like, do I like this? Do I not? Like?
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: Do I care the Like two years after Tim Tebow,
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: and you know how those people love Tim Tebow and
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: people talk about Tim Tebow, Like two years after he
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: was done, the punter was wearing number fifteen. So and
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure it's retired now, but like it was
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: a process and like literally like two years after Tim
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: was done, the punter was wearing number fifteen, So it's
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: not to say that it won, like they promised him
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: number five and recruiting and they're, you know, owning up
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: to the promise of the prior staff. And he's a
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: hell of a player, gonna be an All American. So look, ceedee,
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: lamb Whear's eighty eight. It's retired for the Cowboys. Does
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: Bryant wore eighty eight? It was retired? Michael's like, yeah,
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: those two studs won't wear it. They can wear not
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: anybody can wear it, but you can let those guys.
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: They got they just they got written permission, and I
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: think you should get a little written permission from Jaden.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and maybe they send me a text. I don't know,
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: hopefully they did.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Anyway.

  Speaker 2: As far as far as the playoff picture concern.
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: I mean, if you remember they made it what two
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: years ago?
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: I think? I think three years I made it two
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: years ago.
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I remember Flaco took them.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: They lost to right H.
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: CG til Drinky here. I believe they lost some Texans
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: in the wild card.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: Interesting back when CJ was good.
• 34:56
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it's for sure, before Caleb took all his powers,
• 35:00
  Speaker 10: Before Caleb took his Powers and Caleb and then Stroud
• 35:04
  Speaker 10: became the most pedestrian quarterback out there in the NFL
• 35:08
  Speaker 10: with the best defense in the NFL.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: Huh funny.
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: We got two NFL teams teeing it up tonight, putting
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: on the helmets.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: Putting on the jerseys.
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: They are going to play an actual football game where
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: they're gonna be live and tackling to the ground and
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: playing each other, keeping score and everything.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame Game is tonight.
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: Of course, the Hall of Fame Game comes before the
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: Hall of Fame induction, which will be this weekend. We've
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: got Roger Craig, Larry Fitzgerald, Luke Keigley, and Vinieri. Andre
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: Drew Breeze did in the Hall of Fame. So obviously
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: the Hall of Fame Game is two of the teams
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: that are represented in the Hall of Fame inductees, so
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: Luke Kickley and Larry Fitzgerald. So we got the Panthers
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: verse of the Cardinals, and what I mean, what way?
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: What more exciting way to start out the NFL season?
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: Then with the Cardinals versus Panthers both playing who's.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Starting for the Panthers?
• 36:02
  Speaker 7: Can he picket?
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: Can he picket? Versus Carson Beck.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Electric.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be an absolute electric matchup.
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: When you when you were interviewed, Jay, I'm gonna pull
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: it up. The official NFL Twitter page put out a
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: graphic and it's like it's time and it's Carson Beck
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: and Canny Pickett. No, it's insane, it's really funny. It's serious. Also,
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: can He Picket has to be the oldest young guy
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: I've ever seen in my life. He looks like Tim
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: mcgrawl from Buddy nine. Lights like this picture. Look how
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: old can He Picket looks?
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, it's like me. He looks older than.
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: His mouth is closed.
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: Lips have never touched like that photo. They photo shopped
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: his mouth closed on both of these pictures.
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: They had a little dragon drop closing those lips.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Y'all know he's a mouth breather.
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: We gave the we gave the actual scientific diagram on
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: here and his body structure, his jaw structures.
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: I get it. His first game of the year, you're
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: hyping up the Hall of Fame game in the NFL
• 37:09
  Speaker 6: puts out a Kitty Picket and Carson Bag graphics. It's like,
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: not what I expected for NFL Opening Day.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: Yep, exactly there it.
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: Is, so capt the weight is over.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Wait is over?
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: Let me give you the Weight'll.
• 37:23
  Speaker 8: Wait on Carson Bag versus Kitty Picket.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: The last time the winner of the Hall of Fame
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: game has won a playoff game in the same season
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: like this, it was the Rams in two thousand and one.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 37:41
  Speaker 7: Really, yes, does it occurs?
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: So the last time let's see now not made the
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: playoffs one a playoff game Chargers won last year versus
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: the Lions, the Bears the year before, Browns, Raiders, Steel Broncos, Ravens,
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: Cowboys Vikings last time they won. And the over under
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: is famously people a lot of times bet the under
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: early on in preseason because you can bet even though
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: nobody knows anything about anybody. You can bet on anything,
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: just as Brendon Serzy. So the unders traditionally are the
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: play in early preseason because defenses are always usually ahead
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: of We've talked about it here for the first week
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: or two. Usually defense is ahead of an offense. So
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: the over unders set at thirty five and a half tonight. However,
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: if that was the number of the last four years,
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: the over would have hit the last the four scores.
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: The last couple of years has been forty eight total.
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: Last year, thirty eight the year before, thirty seven the
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: year before, and thirty eight the year before. LA sure
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: was a blowout, right, like I think the Chargers putting
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: thirty four to seven. Yeah, thirty four to seven. But
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: before that, like twenty twenty one, there's nineteen totals points
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: score twenty four seventeen points.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: So like this is we'll see what happens.
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: But if you like the jamble, there's been four years
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: in a row where an over thirty five and a
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: half would have hit. Now, playing backup quarterbacks, I kind
• 39:08
  Speaker 5: of like, I kind of like some points being scored.
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: Oh they're gonna sling it.
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: They're gonna swing it because they're gonna see what they got,
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean. So, and videos coming out
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: of Cardinals training camp, because you know I've told you
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: I've gotten plenty of them, Carson Beck has been doing
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: pretty well and looked pretty good, and the reports coming
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: out of that camp said he's actually it is looking
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: pretty good, so well.
• 39:31
  Speaker 8: He doesn't have that twin to distract him, that's true.
• 39:34
  Speaker 8: And his lambo didn't get stolen this season. He's that
• 39:38
  Speaker 8: was last summer. His Lambo's intact. He's maybe single plastic
• 39:44
  Speaker 8: surgery to get his lips at touch.
• 39:46
  Speaker 7: No, that's photoshop.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: That's photoshop.
• 39:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you can't fix that.
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: Kind of work can be done over the weekend. Yeah,
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: all right, so we'll see. Not a lot of implication
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: is going to be coming out of this game.
• 39:55
  Speaker 8: But you know what, Wait, you don't think that's gonna
• 39:58
  Speaker 8: tell us a lot about either team?
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: Well, if you win the game, you're definitely not winning
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: a playoff game. True, So like you probably don't want
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: to win this game. If history tells.
• 40:04
  Speaker 8: Us anything, we definitely don't want the Panthers winning it, Taylor,
• 40:07
  Speaker 8: I noticed.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: We do want.
• 40:10
  Speaker 7: I don't because if they win it, they don't make
• 40:13
  Speaker 7: the playoffs.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 40:14
  Speaker 7: So that's good for the Saint.
• 40:15
  Speaker 6: That's a great thing. Well, yeah, they at least they
• 40:17
  Speaker 6: won't win a game.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: When I said that, I saw Taylor's look on his
• 40:22
  Speaker 5: face said, I don't believe you say you fact checked
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: me about what that The winner of this game has
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: not won.
• 40:28
  Speaker 6: I forgot the Chargers did. I knew they won last year.
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: I forgot they didn't win a playoff game of because
• 40:32
  Speaker 6: I was like, wait, I thought they won one line.
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: I believe a team it's in the last twenty five
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: years that wins this game. I think only eight of
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: them have made the playoffs. Okay, now, what about the
• 40:42
  Speaker 5: loser of this game if you play in it at all?
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: See, we need to check that out too, because.
• 40:47
  Speaker 6: It was like, is it almost better to lose the game?
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: Well, I didn't do that research. I did it one way.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: I did the winner.
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: So yeah, you want to you want to tank this
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: game probably, and if you want to bet this game.
• 41:00
  Speaker 6: Thirty five And that's pretty pretty good. Cardinals offensive line.
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: Taking a look at you know how they look? Are
• 41:06
  Speaker 6: they gonna be as atrocious as everybody thinks they are?
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: Because like it's important to Jeremiah Love, like that's maybe
• 41:10
  Speaker 6: the one thing to watch.
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: Death is the one thing I mean, I mean, that's
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: a rookie quarterbacks a fun thing to watch.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: I don't really care about watching Kinny Picket because he's
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: been there. You know who is Yeah, I know he is.
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: Carson Beck will be fun to watch it. Of course,
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: he made it to the National Championship last year and
• 41:26
  Speaker 5: had you know, I was actually really impressed with him
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: at the end of the season. I was like, he
• 41:29
  Speaker 5: kind of he's kind of got a little dogs. They
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: played like watching the game winning drives, two minute drives
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: at the end, kind of running. And he is certainly
• 41:38
  Speaker 5: not a runner, but he ducked his head and got
• 41:42
  Speaker 5: first out. So like, I enjoyed watching him at the
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: end of last year, all this, all the baggage that
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: came with him beforehand, like you know, the cet Laundra,
• 41:48
  Speaker 5: like the whole Cavenders and the Lambeau, like all that
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: messy situation. But he was actually very enjoyable to watch
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: in the quarterback position at the end of last year.
• 41:55
  Speaker 5: So and again I don't care. It's football, so I'm
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: gonna be watching it. All right, we are going to
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: close out our numbers two right here on off the bench.
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: Off the bench, all right, go to get Gordon dot com.
• 42:11
