• 2:20
  Speaker 1: We're gonna get to the the do Yers latest choke job. Also,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: the Mariners are in the playoffs. Congratulations to them. The
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Detroit Tigers have done something almost unimaginable as they have
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: choked away the division lead. We'll talk about that as
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: we go through. But well, I want to start with
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: football because that's what pays the bills. So we'll save
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: some of that stuff for the b block. But we
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: begin this hour on the shores of the mighty Hudson River,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and we have another quarterback change in the NFL. And
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: this one not because of injury, by systemic incompetence. And
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: if you have not heard by now, maybe not. It
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: was anticipated and it is now happen. We have learned.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: The Giants have demoted, they have benched mister unlimited Russell Wilson,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: who is now limited to holding a clipboard in favor
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: of the flavor of the week, and that would be
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: first round quarterback rookie Jackson Dart. They've gone to the dart.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: They're now throwing darts the Giants. And that just comes
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: after three games. Now, remember all that rhetoric, all that
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: bull crap. Oh, he's gonna sit out half the year,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: at least maybe the entire year. The Giants are gonna
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: do this the right way. Okay, what a bet on that? No,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: And we'll get into it. But Dart's first start will
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: come at home on Sunday against Eddie Garcia's Chargers there,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: super fan Eddie Garcia's Chargers and his wife big super
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: fans there. Also Jim Harbaugh he coaches the team, and
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Justin Herbert there. So that'll be the matchup be three
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: and zero Chargers at MetLife Stadium in Jersey. The Giants
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: trying to wake up the Echoes as they will take
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: on the Charges with a new quarterback. So let us
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: discuss the question for the esteem panel. Russell Wilson demoted
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Jackson Dart is now QB one for the Giants. Your
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: thoughts on these developments regarding the Giants. So I've got Mason, Jars,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Kobe and human shields and we will combine all of
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: these things together and we're going to make some fried rice,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: which is highly underrated fried rice, well pretty much anything
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: fried is usually not good for you, but taste marvelous.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: All right, So a this was the word I will
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: use for the Giants quarterback change telegraphed. Telegraphed is the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: word I will use. Everybody with half a brain saw
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: this one coming. Russell Wilson had been running on fumes.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: What about the game against the Cowboys. Okay, that says
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: more about the Cowboys they suck. Okay, uh Russell Wilson
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: if you watched them, But this is a year's long thing.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Like how he ended up getting that gig with the
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Giants is beyond me. He's been telling everyone I suck,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: and yet they said, no, you don't. You don't suck enough.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: You have to play for us because we want to
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: make sure you suck. And so there you go. So
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Russell Wilson who's been running on low fuel. He's been
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: slogging away for years with multiple teams, no rhythm, no
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: tempo to his game at all. And Russell Wilson, who
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: has less juice than a dollar store high Sea pack
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: You know, it's not allow juice in those little packets
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: they have at the dollar store. He's a football zombie
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: at this particular point, but he's been a zombie. It's
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: not a surprise. The real surprise is who they're throwing
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Jackson Dart against. Not exactly a soft open. I've had
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: friends of mine that have been involved in restaurants and
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: they always say, well, you gotta have the soft launch
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: friends and family, Friends and family, you have a date
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: you're going to launch the restaurants. We have a night
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: or two where it's his friends and family. So everything
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: gets lined up there and that's it all. The restaurant
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: staff knows what they're doing. Everything's lined up, and no,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: not exactly that. The Chargers off to a legit start.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: They have a top ten defense in the NFL. So
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: that's not a cupcake with extra frosting. It is a
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: trial by fire. It is all right, Jackson Dart. Our
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: franchise is stunk for ten years. So we'll throw you
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: in the wood chipper right away. No easing in to
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the deep end you go. No easing in right now.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: You're not going in the kiddi pool. You're going in
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the deep end right now. There you go, So good
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: luck on that. No chance to iron out the case. No,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: he did play a little bit sporadically here the first
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: couple or the last couple of weeks. So keep in mind,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: if they had waited, if they being the team from
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: New Jersey that calls themselves the Giants, if they had
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: waited a week, Jackson Dart would have broken in in
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: a very soft launch against the gumbo guys in Saints
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Saints go marching into embarrassment on a weekly basis. There
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: that's the feel good component. That's the Hey, we're gonna
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: go out there, you'll throw three touchdowns and throw for
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: three hundred yards and feel good about yourself. Instead, they
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: are saying, I go out there against Derwin James and
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: the Chargers, knock yourself out. Welcome to the NFL. Kid,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: here you go knock yourself well again. I'm fine with it.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I've always said you go with it. There's this false
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: belief if you sit on the bench, you're going to
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: be great. There's plenty of examples of people that sat
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: on the bench. It also sucked. Either you've got it
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: or you don't have it. We'll find out whether Jackson
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Dart has it or not. I don't know. I didn't
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: think he was all that great in college. I thought
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: he was fine. I didn't think he would be anything
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: spectacker in the NFL. But there's other guys who were
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: in the NFL that I didn't think would be all
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: that great that have turned out to be pretty good.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: So it's a hit and miss situation. It's an imperfect
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: science and all that stuff, but it does show you
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: the giants dysfunction. That's my other thought on this, the
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: dysfunction for the Giants, because you've got Brian Dayball and
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Joe Shane the coach in the GM, who are essentially
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: drinking moonshine from Mason Jars at Dick's last resort, because
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: this is it. This is your last resort if you're
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: the coach and the GM there hoping that nobody notices
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: that you're getting sucker punched, and you're likely to get
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: sucker punched again here. And the reality is if Jackson
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Dart is not prepared to hit the ground running here,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: and if he goes out there and sucks at a
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: time you cannot suck and does a cannonball and a
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: belly whopper against the Chargers, and they have to take
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: him out of the game for some reason because he's
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: so bad, and they have to go to Russell Wilson
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: again or Jameis Winston. Well, let's just say the not
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: so dynamic duo, the brains of the Giants operation. They
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: should start updating their LinkedIn page right now because they've
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: got some issues there. And John marr the owner of
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the Giants, they for some reason keep this group together.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: They should have gotten rid of him at the end
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: of the last year. They kept him around, John Marra,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: but if you look at it, it has been a
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: revolving door. They are the Cleveland Browns of New York,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: that is the New York Johnson one. The Jets are
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: worse than the Cleveland Browns, but the Giants are like
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns. So I they keep changing coaches and
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. Four coaches since they canned Tom Coughlan
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: back in the day, ten years. Four coaches. So the
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: patience isn't endless for the Giants. But the clock is
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: a ticking. Certainly, no more honeymoon. That's long gone. That
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Fluke playoff situation where they weren't that good and they
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: made the playoffs and then took advantage of the incompetence
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: of Kirk Cousins to beat the Vikings in a playoff game.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: But you look at it now and there's really no
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: long term plan. It's just kind of a reactionary move
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: and you bench the veteran. And again, they should have
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: never signed Russell Wilson. That's the thing. You didn't need
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: benjam You shouldn't assigned him. If the overnight sports radio
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: guy knows the quarterback is washed off, why do you
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: not know that you're getting paid a lot more money
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: than I am. You should know that, you dummies. It's
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: ridiculous anyway. So they're gonna throw him out there and
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: get all dramatic and they're throwing him Jackson Dart to
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the wolves there.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I want to do that, but you'll buy at least
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. In theory, this buys you at
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: least a couple of weeks and maybe you'll get some
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: good headlines. The tabloids seem to like this in New York.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Reading some of the tabloids there, it's desperate and typically
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: it ends with everyone getting fired because you started out
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: owing three rather than just start. You would have started
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: owing three anyway. If you started Jackson Dart at least
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: then you can say, well he played well against the
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Cowboys and do all that bull crap. Instead, Now you're
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: owing three, and then Jackson Dart's gonna take some time
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: to get going here, so then you're looking at maybe
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: one in six or something along those lines. Good luck,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: good luck on that. This says dead man walking for
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Brian day Ball written all over it. Now we move on,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: as for mister unlimited, Mister unlimited, what was the monstrosity
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: performance against Kensau's city. The last time we will see
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Russell Wilson as a regular starting quarterback in the NFL
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: was that it didn't know it at the time, But
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: is that it so? In terms of Russell Wilson being
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: given the keys to the kingdom and a team being
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: as dumb the dumb, dumb dumb as the Giants and
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: giving him the keys, I would say, yes, that that's
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: not going to hap. Now. Is it possible that Russell
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: will start some games even this year because Jackson Dart's
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: either going to get hurt or is going to suck.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: That is obviously a possibility. But in terms of his
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: career arc, he is Dunskies cooked. He has been microwaved, reheated,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: and tossed in the garbage disposal at this particular point.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Wilson is a football hobo, is what he is. And
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: he's hitch hiking down the dusty winnemuck a road. Shout
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: out Johnny Cash. He's got that knapsack, he's got that
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: going for him, he's got the thumb in the air
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: and he's hoping that some desperate general manager will pick
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: him up at the trade deadline or again in the offseason.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: But he was again washed in Denver. You could argue
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: at the end of the run in Seattle he didn't
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: look all that good. But the main reason he left Seattle,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: as I understand it, was he tried to usurp Pete Carroll.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: There was a power play and Russ did not win
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: that battle, which is crazy because a couple of years
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: later Pete Carroll was let go anyway, so they're like, well,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: we're not gonna get rid of Pete Carroll. We're gonna
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: pick the coach over the quarterback. And then they got
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: rid of the coach anyway, so that's something different. But
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: he was washed in Denver, tumble dried in Pittsburgh, and
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: now left to rust out with the giants. Like that car,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: you know, that kind of disheveled house that everyone drives
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: by and says, why is that car rusted out in
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: front of the house. That's like, that's terrible. It's embarrassing anyway,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: So there is no let's ride like Russ likes to say.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: It's let's hide. It went from let's ride to let's hide.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: That's the new message from Russell Wilson, and he's gone.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: In Seattle, he was considered Kobe beef Kobe, and now
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: he is leftover meat loaf in tupperware in the back
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: of the refrigerator that has not been eaten and is
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: starting to turn colors. That's what's going on. So Russ's
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: only hope now is to take advantage of the supply
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: chain shortage of quarterbacks in the league. But again, I
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: just can't imagine a scenario where he's given the job. Now,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: can he get the job because of injury? Sure, there's
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: something like that could happen, but going into a year
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: like this year where the Giant said you're our guy, No,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: that's not happening. You can sell himself as a not
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: so savvy backup quarterback. Now, last word, I have to
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: address this because it's a long standing pet peeve of
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: mine and it happened. Yet again, I don't know if
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: you were a witness to this or not. So Russell
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Wilson was essentially fired, although he's still keeping his gig,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: but he's demoted. Loss of rank for Russell Wilson, so
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: he created some buzz on the same day that he
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: was benched, and he ran off to a children's hospital
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: in New York and flooded social media with photos of
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: him with the kids. So the question, all right, what
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: did you think of Russell Wilson's photo bombing from a
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: children's hospital the day that he got demoted as the
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Giants quarterback? So this really rubbed me the wrong way here.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: It's a nice instagram stunt. We saw this in Seattle.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Russ has been doing this a long time or the
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: same stunt, and my position has been pretty strong on this,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: have been very consistent over the years. But in this case,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: you just focus on this one case in particular, you're
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: using the sick kids as human shields against social media trolls.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Why do you care so much about social media trolls?
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: What are you doing? Just stay away, you don't need
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: to partake. Come on now, it's rather pathetic, bad job
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: by you. And that's the please don't yell at me post.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: You can't yell at me. Look, I'm a nice person,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: is what that is. And that's the playbook. That is
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: the playbook right there, and it's performative charity is what
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: it is. And my belief and I was raised this week.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: You can play my parents. They're dead guys, you can't
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: blame anymore. But the true charity should be anonymous that
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: that's the way I was raised, that you do it humbly.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: You should do nice things, and you should help people out,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: but you should do it humbly and do it without fanfare.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: And you shouldn't need a camera crew and a lighting
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: guy and a sound guy. You don't blast it out
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: on social media like you're running a play political campaign.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: You shouldn't be doing that. And it's just I see that.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I'm like, well, that's phony. You you don't need to
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: do that. And these are things you should hear about
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: when you die. Give me a great example, Kobe Bryant dead.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: When Kobe died, we heard all these stories. I had
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: heard some of these things when he was still alive,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: but when he died, we heard all these stories about
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Kobe would just randomly show up to a children's hospital
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: and didn't have a camera crew. Kobe Bryant didn't have
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: a sound guy, he didn't have an audio guy, he
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: didn't send out posts on social media, and he just
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: hung out with kids. And that's the way you're supposed
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: to do it. Not Russ. Russ Russ ever done anything
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: without a camera crew to document everything. Everything is a
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: hallmark card for Russell Wilson. It's just all manufactured. The voice,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: the mannerisms, the mannerisms, all of that. It's even the
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: charity stuff there, So there you go. Of course, it
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be a problem for the giants. He'd still be
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: QB number one. If his didn't have less zip than
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: a warm bud light, then he'd still be out there.
• 17:04

• 19:57
  Speaker 1: pet sparg Steelers. Now the Steelers traveling across the Atlantic Ocean.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: For a playdate. They take on the Minnesota Vikings in Ireland.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: So it's Carson Wentz versus Aaron Rodgers. Now, in the
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: lead up to that game, Aaron Rodgers was a topic
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: of conversation. If you did not hear about this, perhaps
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: not so. Mike Tomlin had some things to say. He
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: was asked about Aaron Rodgers, and he was asked if
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers has lived up to expectations. Pittsburgh off to
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: the two and one start, a nail biiting win over
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: the Jets, a blowout loss to well, not a blot loss,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: but they weren't very competitive against Seattle some special teams
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: blunders in that game. And then win over the New
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: England Patriots. So two and one start, and so Mike
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Tomlin asked whether or not Aaron Rodgers had lived up
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: to expectations his first season there in western Pennsylvania. So far,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: tomlind do you think? He said? Ay, my god, does
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers stink? B no comment or C yes, all right.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: So the answer to this, it's a version of see
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: obviously Tomlin said quote he meaning Aaron Rodgers, He meaning
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers certainly has been what we expected and not
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: only in terms of his play, but Tomlin went on
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: to say in terms of his relationship with the game
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: and how he interacts with his teammates. Tomlin opined, quote continued,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Tomlin said, how he loves the preparation process. All of
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: those things have been double thumbs up. Let me repeat that,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: double thumbs up, and so it's reasonable to expect the
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: in stadium performance to mirror that. Tomlin said, close quote.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: So that's the money quote. That's a good jumping off point.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: So let's discuss the question do you agree or disagree?
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Agree or disagree with Mike Tomlin giving Aaron Rodgers the
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: double thumbs up on that. So my observations on this,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: I've got Bill Nye, the science guy, stick figures and
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: foot long ballpark wiener, and we will combine all of
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: these things together, and we are going to put the
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: biscuit in the basket, is what we're going to do.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: So number.
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: I said, number yes, Yes, say this is the kind
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: of thing, the kind of thing you say about a
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: summer blockbuster, right or they come out with a new
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: flavor of potato chips and you say, well, that's.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: A double thumbs up. Of course, you also know what
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: this is. This is spin spins, spin spins, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: spin spin spin spin spin spin spin spin. That's what
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Mike Thomas doing. Obviously, we know that he's selling Aaron
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Rodgers love of the game leadership like that that matters.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: It's also a backhanded shot at Justin Fields and Russell Wilson.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Right last year, they clearly did not love the game.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: They didn't give you that leadership. So does anyone care
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: whether or not Aaron Rodgers is breaking down film? Is
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: there anyone? I'm sure there's probably some hard o lot
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: do I care. I'm into that kind of thing. Okay,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: good for you, good for you. Okay, the vast majority
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: of the rank and file to not really care whether
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: or not he's breaking down film with his teammates, Aaron Rodgers.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: If on Sundays he looks like he's stuck in gridlocked traffic, Okay,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: you don't really care. And now imagine, if you will,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: had Mike Tomlin come out to the dais and said, listen,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: we've had Aaron Rodgers. We thought he was good. The
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: guy's cooked. We wish he wasn't cooked. He's cooked, and
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: we really just wanted Aaron Rodgers in Pittsburgh because we
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: thought he could get us the top magic mushrooms around
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: and some great ayahuasca, and nobody else in the NFL
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: can match the ayahuasca we have in Pittsburgh. So that's
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: really why we wanted Aaron Rodgers. Now, that would be
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: the mother of all quotes by Mike Tomlin, that that
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: would be groundbreaking. He didn't say that. Rogers. Here's the
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: way I look at it. It's gone the way I
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: imagined as a distant relative of Nostra Damas and friend
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: of Nostra Dnacy. Lives in Seattle with his wife who's
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: a vegan. So it's problem anyway. So Rogers has been
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: not an upgrade. He has not been a downgrade for
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers. Aaron Rodgers is a lateral move. It
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: is a lateral move here, it's a flat line. Rogers,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: what is my evidence? Well, I've got the eyeball test,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: but if you're blind, just go out the numbers as
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: well or the audio test from listening to the games
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: on the radio. So Aaron Rodgers is the fourteenth rank
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: quarterback in football. He is a guy that's in a sandwich.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: It's a turd sandwich because on one side you have
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Mac Jones of the forty nine ers. On the other
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: side you have Tyrod Taylor, a couple of backup quarterbacks.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Rogers is stuck between them. You're not waning playoff games
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: with that type of book. But he loves the preparation,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, it's great. You know who else loves preparation,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Bill Nye, the Science Guy. Would you like to see
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Bill Nye, the Science Guy, under center against the Ravens
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: on a third down and twelve in the fourth quarter
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: in bad weather? I wouldn't. Maybe you would. That should
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: be actually be good for the show, So I guess
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: I would like to see that. But here's the thing.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Rogers isn't making anyone better right now. That's the issue.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: In his younger days, back in the day, Aaron Rodgers
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: was able to elevate his teammates, which is what the
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: great quarterbacks are able to do. That's why Rogers end
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: up in the Hall of Fame and all that. But
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: you've got one bazuka, one bazouka, and that's dk Metcalf.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: That's it, period, stop, that's all you got everything else
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: on that roster. You look at the playmakers on the
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers, and it's like a neighborhood garage sale. You
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: got a lot of cast offs, old lamps. Over to
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: the right. If you look over the left, there's some
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: busted TVs, but they're tube TVs. They're not flat screen TVs,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: they're tube TVs. And then you've got half used like
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: yoga mats that have mustard stains on them. I hope
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: those mustard stains. I don't know. Maybe there's something else
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: that you got all that, and that is what Rogers
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: is working with at this particular point. And so this
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: has gone as we anticipated, as we imagined it would go.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: It looks pretty similar to last year. Looks pretty similar
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: to last year in Pittsburgh. It's not better, it's not worse.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: It's the same. And the numbers back that up. The
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Steelers are twenty sixth in past year, or they weren't
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: twenty sixth last year. So they were twenty six last
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: year when they had justin Fields and Russell Wilson. What
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: are they this year? Do you think they're like? What
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: do you think twenty if eighteenth in the NFL in passing? Now,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: how about twenty fourth? So they went from twenty six
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: last year with Justin Fields, who stinks, and Russell Wilson
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: who's done, and they brought in another washed up quarterback,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. And so they've improved a couple of slots.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: And so that that's your double thumbs up we from
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Mike tom So, that's that's he's a standard apparently, right,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: that's the famous quote from Mike Tomlin. That's the standard.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: The standard is the standard. So apparently that's the standard.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Standard is mediocrity. That's it all.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Now to TV Land we go where a quarterback who
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: has been a terrible broadcaster trying to make a name
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: for himself. Now Drew Brees, the former New Orleans Saints quarterback,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Drew Brees, who had a gig at NBC and was
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: so bad they kicked him off NBC. I know what
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: that feels like. So Drew Brees called the Eagles, he
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: called the Eagles offense boring. He said it's boring, and
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: he left Jalen Hurts off of his list. Not my list,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Terry in England, that's his list, his list of top quarterbacks.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Early in the NFL season, Drew Brees did not have
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Jalen hurts in there, which, by the ways, we'll get
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: to this at a sec. But it's not that big
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: a deal. So the question question for you, does Drew
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Brees calling the Saints offense barring make sense to you?
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: And I'm nodding my head. Yes, I'm nodding my head. Yes,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: right now. He's not wrong. He's not wrong. The Eagles
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: offense is efficient. It's not sexy, it's efficient the Eagles.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: If you look at the raw numbers, Philadelphia is sitting
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: twenty ninth in passing yards. Now, I know Ryan Clark's
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: not gonna like this because I didn't play in the NFL.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's good. I don't think that's. Oh,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't say that. You shouldn't say that. Why'd you
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: say that? I don't think it's that good at bottom five.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: So that's you know what that is? Sludge? Sludge, that's
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: oatmeal without brown sugar. Nobody wants it. Nobody wants it.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: It's just terrible. What are you doing? And so they're
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: winning in the math class. See the math class, they're winning,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: not the art class. They're not doing well in art.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: They're doing well in math. When you peak at the
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: the numbers here, they're eighth in NFL, eighth in the
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: NFL points, they're number one in red zone, they're eighth
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: and third down. So those are all positive numbers. But again,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: the art is not there. It's not very artistic, and
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: it's it's like the kid who gets an A plus
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: in algebra but then ends up drawing stick figures in
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: art class. You're like, well, what did you draw that? Well,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: that's my art. Well, no, that's not art. That's a
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: stick figure. Well that's what I do. But you're good
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: at math. Why are you not good at art? Well,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: it's I'm good at math because I like numbers. I'm
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: not good at art because I don't do art. But
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: I know, but you gotta try. That's a stick figure.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: That's not very good. It doesn't matter. That's my art.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: And you go back and forth like that, and the
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: other thing is, you know it's missing here. The old
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Joe Rogan show fear factor, not a lot of fear fact.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts is not keeping defensive quarters up and night. Well,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: who could you say that? The Eagles came back at
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Jaalen Hurts living them back. Now, the Eagles won that
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: game because of special teams, not because of Jalen Hurts.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: They won that game that was in the bag for
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: the Rams. The Rams gave the game away because of
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: special teams blunders, not because of Jalen Hurts. Jalen Hurts
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: had a great second half. I'll give you that. I'll
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: give you the game. He's the Rams. Jalen Hurts played well.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Let say I play better than I thought the second half,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: had seventeen yards passing at halftime. I believe great in
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: the second half. But they still win the game because
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: the special teams, not because they would have lost the
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: game even with all those passing touchdowns in all those yards.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: The Rams were in position to win the game if
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: it hadn't been for their idiot kick out. I digress.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: So the point is the same. Nobody's getting all worked
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: up about ah Man, we gotta face Jalen Hurts. Were cooked.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Nobody's tossing and turning and can't sleep and turn on
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: overnight talk radio and say, oh no, oh my god,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: how do we stop Jalen Hurts. Things that go bumpity
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: bump in the night. And then you're like, well, maybe
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: that guy Hazel will call up and say I know
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: things that go bumpity bump Hayes in Minnesota. I don't know.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: So you're more worried about when you're in Philadelphia're like,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: I'm more concerned about do I order the cheese steak
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: the right way with provolone or do I order it
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: the wrong way with cheese whizz right. You're more concerned
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: about that rather than Jalen Hurts beating. So Drew Brees
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: the buzz of Drew Brees, if you will, And he
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: got a fair amount of buzz on this. Whether it's
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: real or not, I don't know. The main reason this
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: became a thing with Drew Brees is because a he's
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: milk toast. He's very uninteresting, he's boring. And then b
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: he went against the ex jock decorum. There's a patriarch
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: among X shocks that when they get media jobs, you're
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: supposed to go on TV and radio and do podcasts
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: and just pat the young kids on the back, right
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: way to go, pat him on the head, good job
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: by you, whoever they are, and tell everyone how amazing
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: and how great every player is and all that stuff.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Celebrate the game. And instead he actually told the truth.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: And that was shocking because he said it and doesn't
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: normally talk like that. And they want their quarterback in
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: the presidential suite there in Philadelphia, and he's not. That's
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: not where he belongs. And so of course the some
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: of the bird brain fans all upset. Now, final point,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: we go to a story that could be could be related.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: That's a weasel term, could be related to the Philadelphia Eagles.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: But it's in Houston, deep in the heart of Texas
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: and Houston, and that is the situation where the Texans
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: have fired a defensive player we know of. So question,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: why did the Houston Texans release aka fire fire safety CJ.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Gardner Johnson. Yes, that's CJ. Gardner Johnson, the big mouth
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: after an zero and three start. What's going on there?
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: So Gardner Johnson, CJ. Gardner Johnson. There about a minute,
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: about a minute and gone, the next one, they're one
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: minute gone, the next that's it, poof and that's all.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: See you later. Turn out the loft, the parties over.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: We're gonna cut your ass. So that is not a
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: roster move. It's a statement. You know, it's a state. Yes,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: you're shaking your head, Yes you're not in your head. Yes,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: it is a statement. It is absolutely statement. Demko Ryans,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: the coach who's not looking so good right now. Dimiko
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Ryans send a message to the room. You guys are
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: all a bunch of underachievers and heads are going to
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: row if you do not perform up to our standards.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: And so CJ. Gardner Johnson, I know exactly the comp
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: on him. He is the NFL's version of Patrick Beverly.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: That is what CJ. Gardner Johnson is. You hate him
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: until he's on your team, and then most people, even
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: when he's on your team, you kind of tolerate him. Nah.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: I like Patrick Beverly, but most people don't like his approach.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: I love the fact that he celebrated a play in
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: tournament win for the Minnesota Timberwolves more than any championship.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Someday of Minnesota, the Timberwls will win an NBA championship
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: and they will not celebrate as passionately as Patrick Beverly
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: did winning a playing game, which is just tremendous. So anyway, CJ.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Gardner Johnson, get to the point. Please, So this guy
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: is like a foot long ballpark wiener. He's a front runner.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: He's a guy that will chirp and when you're ahead, right,
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: great front runner, right, and it's like a show pony
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: and he's chest puffing and strutting around and all that
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: stuff when things are going well. When you start zero
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: and three, though, you start doing inventory, and the mustard's
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: off the foot long ballpark Wiener, the mustard's off the
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: hot dog. He's you know, he's got the posing and
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: the preening. But it doesn't really look that good when
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: you're losing the games. And so it's a good pace car. CJ.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Gardner Johnson is a good pace car. However, when you
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: are stuck, when you are stuck in the ditch on
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: the side of the road, he is not helping push
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: your car out of the ditch. He's not. Instead, the
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: team's lost three three games to the beginning of the
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: year here Tennis, Tennessee the Texans, and so he's yelling,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: remember that famous scene on the Monday night game, yelling
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: at Baker Mayfield. And then there was the play, which
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: is was really the main reason why he was like, oh,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: the game in Jacksonville last week. There's about I think
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: two minutes or so to go in the game, Trevor
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Lawrence throws a bomb to Brian Thomas Junior and Gardner
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Johnson blew the coverage and that set things up for
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville in that game. And that was Hammer meeting Nail
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: in the Texans coffin. Now see there, Gardner Johnson will
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: likely end up on his feet. There's a shortage of
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: defensive players like him, and so I can see him
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: going back to Philadelphia. But the Texans looked at the
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: film and they're like, well, this guy's gotta go, bye bye,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: you gotta go. And it was the coaches who were like,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: this guy's These guys get a little too comfortable, Demiko Ryans,
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: and so we got to shake it up there. And
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: it's like the coach is saying, Demiko Ryans is like,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: I will cut a veteran with a name, a name
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: that people know of, and I will do it. No
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: one is safe. You're not safe. You're not safe. You're
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: not safe. Get in or get out. That's it. And
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: so it's supposed to be a wake up called will
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: it work, Well, we'll see what kind of tomato cans
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: the Texans have upcoming. But if you're you're honest, anywhere CJ.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Gardner Johnson goes, there's an expiration date. Pass some pass
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: him around. He's a glue guy. He is a glue guy. However,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: when you're winning, he's a glue guy. When you're not winning,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: he's He's like Elmer glue that doesn't really stick. And
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: you know it's not a good glue. It's not the
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: gorilla glue. It's like the Elmers. You know what I'm
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: talking about. Yet.

  Speaker 3: into the MVP conversation. Ben, I know it's a bit early. Yes,
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: do you think Mayfield can put together an MVP season?
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: No? I do not wrong market, wrong team. He will
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: not be the MVP. No, one's really head and shoulders
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: above everyone else at this point. It's still the feeling
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: out process. Cool, but I'm gonna say Noan Baker Mayfield

• 37:15
  Speaker 3: Next Mike Gundhy and Oklahoma State football have only won
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: one game over the past twelve games dating back to
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: last season, and it has people wondering if Gundy has
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: lost his touch. Gundhi told the media on Monday that
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: he does not plan on leaving Oklahoma State anytime soon.
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: But do you think they would ever get rid of him?
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Well, listen, he's a fifteen million dollar check and all that.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Mike Gandhy, I'm a man, I'm forty, come after me.

• 37:46
  Speaker 1: fired him. So he's gone, see you later. Got a
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: big check. Next.
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: I was reported on Monday that Rockets point guard friend
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: Fred van Vliet toward his acl and could miss the
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: entire season.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: How big of a blow is this for the Rockets? Well,
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: the problem what I read is they can't replace him
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: with anyone worth any money because of the Fuges salary capital.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: So I guess they're gonna have to get somebody a
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: job endorsing a fake company so they can keep somebody
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: on the roster there. But that's about He's a good player.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: He's not great player. He's a good player. It's a blow.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: They'll be all right though. They've still got some good players.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Read you pass, Mike Gundy. You're fired, Mike Gundy, Get up.

  Speaker 8: a little snippet of advice at the beginning of my segments.
• 38:57
  Speaker 8: And I just want to say, who was our caller
• 38:59
  Speaker 8: earlier this week who said that he's out with a

  Speaker 1: starring NFL legend Mel Owens. I have no idea who
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: that is?
• 39:35
  Speaker 8: Oh my gosh, I thought about watching that, but I'm
• 39:37
  Speaker 8: going to be honest with you. I heard the first
• 39:39
  Speaker 8: season was horribly depressing, and I'm used to them being
• 39:43
  Speaker 8: more fun like, hearted and a little slutty, so it
• 39:47
  Speaker 8: was I don't know if.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: It was appointing. You want more sluttiness? Okay, I got you, Yeah,
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: I understand. Mike the Leprechaun says, should you trust a
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: girlfriend to drive through a city, especially if she has
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: no sense of direct action? Someone I heard about knew
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: nothing about Lake Michigan in Chicago.
• 40:05
  Speaker 8: He says that, oh yeah, you know, having your girl
• 40:08
  Speaker 8: drive around a city she's never been to is probably
• 40:10
  Speaker 8: not the best idea car rentals, but I've seen some
• 40:14
  Speaker 8: men do a pretty bad job around new cities as well,
• 40:17
  Speaker 8: So maybe check yourself before you wreck yourself.
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: Huh?
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: All right? Shane and the Moyne right since says, what
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: is the best way to break up with someone who
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: ruined your life and has no one in the state
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: of Iowa. But you, Oh, no, I'm not I'm not
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: trying to do this. I'm just saying that things.
• 40:37
  Speaker 8: Going my key into the side of there's what you
• 40:42
  Speaker 8: look at me like that. I'm just they really did
• 40:44
  Speaker 8: something bad to you. Get them back.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: No, I don't know. I'm not going there. JT. The
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: wingman says, I am trying to step to the front
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: of the line for my lady. What's a style of
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: shoe should I get to make this happen? And then
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: he's got all the men's shoes here. The he's stepping
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: to the front of the what. No, he wants you
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: to choose which shoes women like? Like loafers or Oxford
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: style shoes, Derby shoes, slip on sandals. You know, I
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: think boat shoes. You know I don't.
• 41:14
  Speaker 8: I'm not a big fan of boat shoes. Okay, boat
• 41:16
  Speaker 8: shoes are a little lame to me. Slides can be
• 41:19
  Speaker 8: good on occasion, but you know more, just like a
• 41:22
  Speaker 8: nice clean pair of shoes. I don't really think it
• 41:23
  Speaker 8: matters what kind as long as your shoes are clean.
• 41:25
  Speaker 8: If you have scuffs and dirt marks and holes in
• 41:28
  Speaker 8: your shoes. It's not looking good for you.

  Speaker 1: marriage with life expectancy of men being aged seventy five
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: and me being sixty one. Why the hell would I
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: want to spend the last fourteen years of my life
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: in fear and anguish?
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 41:47
  Speaker 8: I do want to also remind you those last fourteen
• 41:50
  Speaker 8: years of your life, you could go downhill in your health.
• 41:52
  Speaker 8: So having someone there who could take care of you is.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: Actually not that there's no ninety there's no guarantee that
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: they will stay with you. That is true as well.
