Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Right Time, presented by PrizePix.
0:10
Speaker 1: My name is Bomani Jones. Thanks for listening wherever you
0:11
Speaker 1: get your podcasts. Thanks for watching us on YouTube. Subscribe, like,
0:16
Speaker 1: rate us, review us, give us five stars. You only
0:18
Speaker 1: give us four stars. I'm inclined to believe you are
0:21
Speaker 1: a hater. It is that time of week where we
0:23
Speaker 1: have a guest join us, coming to us live from scenic,
0:27
Speaker 1: not New York, New York. Check him out on First
0:29
Speaker 1: Things First, 5 o'clock Eastern. Danny Parkins, what's going on, man? Bo.
0:34
Speaker 2: Great to be here. How are you, my friend?
0:36
Speaker 1: Well, I already walked people through on Monday my experience
0:41
Speaker 1: of Sunday during the game, sharing in the good times
0:46
Speaker 1: with both you and Jason Goff, and then you and
0:49
Speaker 1: Jason Goff not sharing the bad times after your quarterback
0:53
Speaker 1: went off on a cart. But did you feel better
0:55
Speaker 1: when you found out that he was walking around? Like,
0:58
Speaker 1: is there any cause for optimism here? And how do
1:01
Speaker 1: you feel about the fact that he's trying to look
1:03
Speaker 1: just like Jason Campbell?
1:05
Speaker 2: Okay. So I have a lot of opinions, obviously. And
1:09
Speaker 2: if the accusation is that I'm a fair weather, FaceTimer
1:13
Speaker 2: guilty as charged. Oh my God, dude. Like that play
1:21
Speaker 2: before the field goal. I was like, he's Neo in
1:24
Speaker 2: the matrix. Like my quarterback is a magician and, Like,
1:28
Speaker 2: I will answer all of your calls. And then when
1:31
Speaker 2: he went down and I saw you call, I was like, no.
1:35
Speaker 2: I'm sure you weren't going to twist the knife completely,
1:38
Speaker 2: but I couldn't deal with it in the moment.
1:40
Speaker 1: No, no, I came to be helpful, by the way.
1:43
Speaker 1: You decided, you know what? Maybe I'll be a better dad, huh?
1:47
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll go hug the kid.
1:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was doing Legos during the four o'clock sleep.
1:53
Speaker 2: Doing some Batman Legos with my man Owen, the six-year-old. Yeah,
1:56
Speaker 2: it was a... Listen, I am thrilled. Like all things considered,
2:03
Speaker 2: I thought the season was over and it was going
2:05
Speaker 2: to be 11 months before I could watch Caleb Williams
2:07
Speaker 2: play football again. Like that's what I thought, right? And
2:11
Speaker 2: so any penance or price that I have to pay
2:15
Speaker 2: with memes on the internet and jokes, I will take
2:19
Speaker 2: for the fact that they're not ruling him out for
2:21
Speaker 2: Monday night football against the Eagles. Now, I do not
2:23
Speaker 2: expect him to play Monday night against the Eagles, but...
2:25
Speaker 2: but like the fact that they're not talking about the IR,
2:27
Speaker 2: that he could be back in a week or two
2:29
Speaker 2: or three, I will pay any amount of internet price
2:33
Speaker 2: that I have to pay for that result because he's
2:37
Speaker 2: the man. He's the man.
2:39
Speaker 1: He's the man.
2:40
Speaker 2: It's like, get, get your jokes off. Now sell your stock.
2:44
Speaker 2: Now I would recommend buying the dip personally, but like,
2:49
Speaker 2: My quarterback is the man, and I am totally comfortable
2:53
Speaker 2: and confident that he will have the last laugh.
2:55
Speaker 1: So I feel like your quarterback exists in an interesting
2:59
Speaker 1: state that we don't see very much in today's football,
3:04
Speaker 1: which is if I were to put John Elway's stats
3:09
Speaker 1: in front of you, particularly for the pre-Shanahan era, you
3:14
Speaker 1: really don't have much of a reason to understand what
3:17
Speaker 1: the big deal is here from what people have talked about.
3:21
Speaker 1: And then you'll watch it and you're like, Oh, so
3:25
Speaker 1: we took, we got some granite and we made a quarterback.
3:29
Speaker 1: Isn't that something, right? Like the all-time eye test guy.
3:33
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, to me, is kind of existing in that space,
3:36
Speaker 1: even to a degree in that first game, which is
3:39
Speaker 1: part of why Pro Football Focus said that there were
3:42
Speaker 1: like 20 quarterbacks who were better than him. When you're
3:45
Speaker 1: watching it, it does not look like that at all.
3:47
Speaker 1: And you feel like, and I think this is really
3:49
Speaker 1: kind of all you can ask for as a fan,
3:51
Speaker 1: and it's extra fun, especially when you don't root for
3:53
Speaker 1: a guy like that, is anything can happen right now.
3:57
Speaker 1: The ceiling on what he can do on one play
4:02
Speaker 1: is higher than, I don't know, higher in the world
4:04
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes, but it is way
4:07
Speaker 1: up there.
4:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it is on that level. I think
4:10
Speaker 2: an individual talent basis, like physical talent, eye test, I
4:14
Speaker 2: talk about eye test all the time. I think he's
4:16
Speaker 2: a 99 percentile guy. And so it's wildly fun. And
4:22
Speaker 2: no doubt, the stats are not there yet, but It's
4:26
Speaker 2: year three in the league, year two in Ben Johnson's system. Like,
4:29
Speaker 2: I do believe the stats were coming, and I don't
4:32
Speaker 2: think that's being some sort of homer. They scored 59
4:34
Speaker 2: fucking points in week one, and Ben Johnson got Jared
4:40
Speaker 2: Goff to have ridiculous stats. So, like, I have no
4:43
Speaker 2: reason to believe.
4:43
Speaker 1: The stats were coming. Was that supposed to be me, man?
4:45
Speaker 2: Was that supposed to be me? I'm just saying Caleb
4:47
Speaker 2: might be a little bit more physically talented. He might
4:49
Speaker 2: be a little bit more gifted than Jared Goff. And
4:55
Speaker 2: so I think the stats were inevitable and were coming
5:00
Speaker 2: and still are going to. And I think he is
5:04
Speaker 2: going to– I've said it all along. We've talked about
5:07
Speaker 2: it a little bit. He models his game after Rodgers.
5:12
Speaker 2: And one of the most impressive, if not the most impressive,
5:16
Speaker 2: individual quarterback seasons of my lifetime is Aaron Rodgers' 2011
5:20
Speaker 2: when it was 45 touchdowns, six interceptions. Cause he also
5:26
Speaker 2: was up there at the top in yards per attempt.
5:28
Speaker 2: Like there was no check down to his game and
5:31
Speaker 2: he didn't turn the ball over and he was a
5:33
Speaker 2: big game hunter and he put the ball in the
5:35
Speaker 2: end zone. Like Caleb doesn't turn the ball over. He
5:38
Speaker 2: recently has developed the ability to not really take sacks
5:42
Speaker 2: and he goes for big plays and he has that
5:45
Speaker 2: eye test. Wow. Arm strength, escapability and physical ability that
5:50
Speaker 2: makes you believe that anything is possible at any given moment,
5:52
Speaker 2: like you're talking about. So Caleb, I think seasons and
5:56
Speaker 2: stretches of play like that are coming. And I think
5:59
Speaker 2: they're coming sooner than later.
6:00
Speaker 1: I think, though, I the only thing about modeling yourself
6:04
Speaker 1: after Aaron Rodgers is Aaron Rodgers is risk averse to
6:07
Speaker 1: a fault. Like, I do think that our modern interpretation
6:10
Speaker 1: of just about all sports overvalue efficiency. Right? Like, overvalue the, oh,
6:17
Speaker 1: as long as you don't ever take a step back.
6:19
Speaker 1: And kind of what I like about Caleb Williams is, no, no, no, no, no.
6:22
Speaker 1: Every now and then, hey, baby, we making omelets. You
6:24
Speaker 1: understand what I'm saying? Yeah.
6:26
Speaker 2: Right?
6:26
Speaker 1: Like, that's what he's doing out there. We are making omelets.
6:30
Speaker 1: They only scored three points, though, and it wasn't looking good.
6:32
Speaker 1: And I'm with you. I've watched your coworkers try to
6:36
Speaker 1: pick on you, chastise you. Right? It was terrible weather.
6:40
Speaker 1: And we know this for the reason that you pointed out.
6:42
Speaker 1: The Bears only gave up nine points.
6:46
Speaker 2: Okay. What am I missing in that argument that I
6:48
Speaker 2: feel like is iron clad and indisputable. And, and when
6:53
Speaker 2: they push back on me and they're like, well, the
6:55
Speaker 2: Vikings have Carson Wentz or like the Vikings aren't talking
6:58
Speaker 2: about being the greatest offense in the history of the sport.
7:01
Speaker 2: Like fine. Like if that's why the bears have to
7:04
Speaker 2: catch more jokes because their coach is talking the talk
7:07
Speaker 2: and for a game, he didn't walk the walk. I
7:10
Speaker 2: will accept that. Like, If you talk big and then
7:13
Speaker 2: you fail, people are going to celebrate your downfall. That's life.
7:18
Speaker 2: That's sports. I have no problem with it. And I
7:21
Speaker 2: can also tell you, Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams have
7:23
Speaker 2: no problem with that either. Catching the memes is fine.
7:29
Speaker 2: The Vikings scored 39 points in Week 1. They have
7:33
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson. If I would have said to you, hey,
7:36
Speaker 2: going into that game against the Bears defense, they're going
7:39
Speaker 2: to have less than 250 yards. they're going to be
7:42
Speaker 2: three of 13 on third down and they are going
7:44
Speaker 2: to have zero touchdowns. You would have thought that it
7:47
Speaker 2: was Noah's Ark, like biblical type of weather. So something
7:52
Speaker 2: tells me that the conditions in that game played a
7:55
Speaker 2: massive factor in how low scoring and inefficient the offense was. Like,
8:00
Speaker 2: I don't think that's a stretch. Nobody thinks that Dennis
8:03
Speaker 2: Allen dominated Kevin O'Connell. So to come out of the
8:06
Speaker 2: game declaring some sort of like long-term victory against of
8:10
Speaker 2: Brian Flores over Ben Johnson, given those were the conditions
8:13
Speaker 2: both ways, just seems ridiculous to me.
8:16
Speaker 1: I will tell you this, though. I am starting to
8:17
Speaker 1: feel like Minnesota's going to win that division.
8:21
Speaker 2: Well, they're the favorite now. They've won seven straight games
8:24
Speaker 2: dating back to last year, and remarkably, the last four
8:27
Speaker 2: that they've won have been with four different quarterbacks. That
8:30
Speaker 2: has never happened before in the history of the NFL.
8:32
Speaker 2: Four straight wins, four different starters. So they are a
8:36
Speaker 2: good team. I will.
8:40
Speaker 2: I will reserve judgment on that because we'll see. I
8:43
Speaker 2: know you're bullish on Kyler Murray. I liked the Kyler
8:45
Speaker 2: Murray addition for them too. His first pass with them
8:49
Speaker 2: was an interception. Like there can be a learning curve
8:53
Speaker 2: for guys going into completely new systems. We're seeing it
8:57
Speaker 2: with my other guy, Justin Herbert, which I'm sure we'll
8:58
Speaker 2: talk about at some point in Los Angeles. Like I'm
9:01
Speaker 2: not confident that he can't lose you a game right now.
9:04
Speaker 2: So this division I think is far from over. And
9:07
Speaker 2: before the year I said that it was the only
9:08
Speaker 2: division in football that where all four teams could win
9:11
Speaker 2: it and all four teams could lose it. So I
9:14
Speaker 2: still think it's wide open.
9:16
Speaker 1: I just saw the Vikings go 2-0 with Carson Wentz. Yep.
9:23
Speaker 1: I just watched a team win a Super Bowl with
9:25
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold. I would also like to point out to people,
9:29
Speaker 1: Drew Locke looked pretty good on Sunday, which implies to
9:34
Speaker 1: me that that Sam Darnold thing might not be what
9:37
Speaker 1: people keep insisting that it is. He might be, as
9:41
Speaker 1: I call him, same Darnold. Perhaps slightly improved. Maybe better
9:44
Speaker 1: than he was before, but not different. He's same Darnold.
9:48
Speaker 1: Same Darnold's out there. I just feel like you could
9:51
Speaker 1: do okay with Kyler Murray.
9:53
Speaker 2: I think that they will do okay with Kyler Murray also.
9:57
Speaker 2: I completely agree with you. I'm not... wouldn't write off Detroit.
10:03
Speaker 2: Their secondary is ravaged with injuries. Their offense is awesome
10:06
Speaker 2: and their schedule is easy. And I would not write
10:09
Speaker 2: off the Bears because I still think their offense is
10:12
Speaker 2: going to be supreme. And Caleb Williams is not going
10:16
Speaker 2: to miss a lot of time. And by the way,
10:18
Speaker 2: they beat the Eagles last year on black Friday. So
10:21
Speaker 2: if it's case Keenum, I think that's a problem, but
10:22
Speaker 2: the Eagles offense looks terrible through two games. The Eagles
10:25
Speaker 2: have beaten Washington and Tennessee by a grand total of
10:28
Speaker 2: six points. Like, I'm not conceding Monday night football yet,
10:32
Speaker 2: no matter who's quarterback.
10:33
Speaker 1: So it's interesting because when I have tuned in and
10:35
Speaker 1: seen the Eagles, it is while Jalen Hurts is playing well.
10:39
Speaker 1: And then I look at it and like, you're barely
10:41
Speaker 1: beating Bums, right? Because I tried, you know, you and
10:44
Speaker 1: I are both, we've talked about this many times. We
10:45
Speaker 1: have the same problem with Jalen Hurts, which is, We
10:48
Speaker 1: have our ideas of how good he is or more
10:51
Speaker 1: accurately how good he is and not, except for those
10:53
Speaker 1: two times he outplayed Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl.
10:55
Speaker 2: Correct.
10:56
Speaker 1: It's a complicating situation. When I've looked in, he's been
11:00
Speaker 1: standing tall in the pocket. He's been making things happen.
11:02
Speaker 1: I went back and looked at them stats and like, damn,
11:04
Speaker 1: where'd them two interceptions come from? They weren't while I
11:06
Speaker 1: was watching them out there looking good.
11:09
Speaker 2: They have two wins. Some of his numbers are pretty good.
11:13
Speaker 2: Devontae Smith, I think, is really good. I don't think
11:18
Speaker 2: the plan, though, is 30-plus pass attempts per game. Like,
11:24
Speaker 2: I'm just pulling up his numbers. His numbers are fine.
11:26
Speaker 2: His quarterback rating's over 100. You would obviously take that.
11:29
Speaker 2: But I want to go real quick. The concerning thing
11:33
Speaker 2: for me with the Eagles would be Saquon Barkley and
11:37
Speaker 2: their offensive line. Saquon has 19 carries through two games
11:41
Speaker 2: with 92 rushing yards. Like, that's just not the plan.
11:46
Speaker 2: They are supposed to be a good rushing team. Tank
11:49
Speaker 2: Bixby has 14 carries. Saquon has 19. Tank Bixby's averaging
11:53
Speaker 2: two and a half yards a carry. Like, the Eagles
11:56
Speaker 2: are supposed to be able to be a team that
11:59
Speaker 2: crushes you on the ground, and then Jalen Hurts can
12:02
Speaker 2: play off of that. I think that they've been in
12:05
Speaker 2: too many situations where Jalen Hurts is need to pass
12:07
Speaker 2: them out a third down, and to his credit, through
12:10
Speaker 2: two games against bad teams, he has done it. But
12:14
Speaker 2: Maybe they beat the Bears with their backup quarterback situation
12:17
Speaker 2: and their bad defense on Monday night and their 3-0.
12:19
Speaker 2: They got the Rams in week four. I do not
12:21
Speaker 2: think they can beat the Rams if they have not
12:23
Speaker 2: figured out their run game and their offensive line looks
12:25
Speaker 2: broken right now.
12:26
Speaker 1: Look, offensive line matters most in determining what your rushing
12:31
Speaker 1: output is going to be. The running back is kind
12:33
Speaker 1: of cherry on top. Their cherry on top is in
12:37
Speaker 1: year nine, I believe this is. He was the pick
12:42
Speaker 1: after Mayfield, right?
12:43
Speaker 2: Yes. Yeah.
12:44
Speaker 1: So he's in year nine. So you have an offensive
12:47
Speaker 1: line that's not as good as it used to be.
12:48
Speaker 1: And we just keep operating on the assumption that you
12:50
Speaker 1: can just keep trotting these running backs out here and
12:53
Speaker 1: they're going to be as good as they had been
12:55
Speaker 1: at any other point, which I just don't think is sustainable.
12:58
Speaker 1: New offensive coordinator, a head coach that despite all his success,
13:03
Speaker 1: I don't take seriously. Maybe you do, but I don't
13:06
Speaker 1: find myself doing that. But it looks set up for
13:10
Speaker 1: them to be 3-0 with a point differential of 8.
13:13
Speaker 2: Correct. And listen, Philly fans get mad at me. They
13:18
Speaker 2: probably get mad at you. I got plenty of positive
13:20
Speaker 2: things to say. I think their defense might end up
13:23
Speaker 2: being excellent. They have a ton of talent. Landon Dickerson
13:29
Speaker 2: is hurt. He's supposed to be excellent. Maybe he comes back.
13:32
Speaker 2: Maybe the offensive line improves. There's clearly a path here.
13:35
Speaker 2: And to your point, you are again dealing with a
13:37
Speaker 2: new offensive coordinator and a new system implementation. And with
13:40
Speaker 2: how little these guys play in the preseason, that takes time.
13:44
Speaker 2: And teams, how they look in September is not how
13:46
Speaker 2: they will be in November and December. So I am
13:48
Speaker 2: open to the possibility that it gets better for their
13:52
Speaker 2: offense and that their defense just carries them. But I just–
13:57
Speaker 2: they are very, very fortunate that they opened with Washington
14:01
Speaker 2: and Tennessee. They are very, very– I do not think
14:03
Speaker 2: that they have played like a 2-0 team. They've, to me,
14:06
Speaker 2: played closer to an 0-2 team than a 2-0 team.
14:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is... They're so interesting. There's literally no telling
14:14
Speaker 1: how it's going to go with those guys. Anything feels
14:19
Speaker 1: like it's on the board. They went to a Super Bowl,
14:22
Speaker 1: to almost getting the coach fired, to winning a Super Bowl,
14:26
Speaker 1: to last year, where I still kind of feel like
14:28
Speaker 1: if they hadn't won the Super Bowl before, they might
14:29
Speaker 1: have been thinking about firing the coach. I think about
14:32
Speaker 1: firing the coach every day.
14:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, and... if, if it doesn't work this year, you
14:37
Speaker 2: can't just fire Sean Mannion again. Like you can't just
14:39
Speaker 2: keep firing offensive coordinators. Like eventually the buck will stop
14:42
Speaker 2: beyond that.
14:43
Speaker 1: Yeah.
14:44
Speaker 2: We've talked about Jalen hurts and he doesn't have guaranteed
14:46
Speaker 2: money going forward on his contract. But to your point,
14:50
Speaker 2: they could win 13 games. Like, like they, they absolutely
14:54
Speaker 2: have talent there that could win 13 games. So I,
14:57
Speaker 2: it's a wide variance outcome type of team. And I
15:01
Speaker 2: get why Philly fans are protective of it. I do it.
15:05
Speaker 2: I would be too if it was my team, honestly.
15:07
Speaker 1: Hey, man, I want to stay in that division because
15:09
Speaker 1: I want to contend that you actually got lucky on
15:11
Speaker 1: Monday night. You did. And I want to say that
15:14
Speaker 1: you would never like wish injury upon somebody just so
15:18
Speaker 1: like you could look good. But at the same time,
15:20
Speaker 1: the Giants went about to win that goddamn division, and
15:23
Speaker 1: now their quarterback looked like he hurt for the whole year.
15:25
Speaker 1: So you don't really have to answer for that one.
15:28
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Thank you. I think you
15:31
Speaker 1: spared yourself from where that was going. But at the
15:34
Speaker 1: same time, while I say that, we're talking about how
15:36
Speaker 1: iffy Philly is and how bad Washington is. And the Cowboys, okay. Right?
15:44
Speaker 2: They already took a loss to the Giants.
15:45
Speaker 1: They did. They did. You were looking great. I tell you, boy,
15:49
Speaker 1: you were riding high last Monday. It was all setting
15:53
Speaker 1: up for you. Now the Giants are just going to
15:54
Speaker 1: be hilarious because it's going to be Jameis until they
15:57
Speaker 1: get tired of it.
15:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Jameis, I assume he will look better with
16:02
Speaker 2: a week of game planning as the starter.
16:03
Speaker 1: I don't know why.
16:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, listen, because he can't look worse. Because
16:08
Speaker 2: he can't look worse. I mean, that was outrageous. I mean,
16:11
Speaker 2: he was just chucking the ball 60 yards down the field.
16:14
Speaker 1: Yo, I love that about him, though.
16:16
Speaker 2: So do I, five years ago.
16:18
Speaker 1: Well, no, this is what I mean. I feel like
16:20
Speaker 1: there are two kinds of backup quarterbacks, and it really
16:22
Speaker 1: didn't become clear to me until one of the recent
16:25
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco runs. And most of these backup quarterbacks are
16:28
Speaker 1: these young guys. They only know so much of the offense, right?
16:32
Speaker 1: And they're just going to try to nickel and dime it,
16:35
Speaker 1: do whatever it is that they feel like they can
16:37
Speaker 1: manipulate from the offense or whatever. Them old cats like
16:41
Speaker 1: Flacco and Jameis, they're like, yo, suckers do what they can.
16:45
Speaker 1: Real ones do what they won't. And they're like, you're
16:49
Speaker 1: not going to win doing that other shit. We have
16:51
Speaker 1: a chance of winning if I start bombing. And so
16:54
Speaker 1: Jameis is always here for bombing. And Jameis is, Jameis
17:00
Speaker 1: to me, he's a pattern reader. And so if he
17:04
Speaker 1: sees a couple things and he thinks he knows where
17:06
Speaker 1: it's going. He makes that decision immediately, but he's also Mr.
17:11
Speaker 2: Magoo.
17:11
Speaker 1: I think he got his eyes fixed, but before it
17:13
Speaker 1: was Mr. Magoo. So he'd be making these half cock decisions.
17:16
Speaker 1: He's thinking about it, but next thing you know, Oh man,
17:19
Speaker 1: there's somebody standing right there. Ain't that something like this
17:22
Speaker 1: is going to be a hoot. Yeah.
17:24
Speaker 2: Oh, always. And listen, Jay, one of the first takes
17:29
Speaker 2: on national TV of mine that went like kind of
17:32
Speaker 2: viral and did really well back when I was doing
17:33
Speaker 2: the morning show, was I outlined the full Jameis. And
17:38
Speaker 2: I was like, I want Jameis to be somebody's quarterback.
17:41
Speaker 2: I just don't want him to be my quarterback. And
17:44
Speaker 2: how we will never see again Jameis Winston's 2019, 5,000 yards,
17:51
Speaker 2: 30 touchdowns, 30 interceptions. It will never happen again. He
17:54
Speaker 2: had a game in 2024, Cleveland against Denver, where he
17:56
Speaker 2: had nearly 500 yards passing. Like, he's just a tough guy.
18:05
Speaker 2: I think it was four interceptions. Like, he's a tough
18:08
Speaker 2: guy to figure out. But it's YOLO. He's fun. It's
18:11
Speaker 2: just not going to win in the modern age. And
18:13
Speaker 2: I will say, Jackson Dart, man, kind of a playmaker. Like, yeah,
18:20
Speaker 2: now he's out and now he's hurt. But I.
18:24
Speaker 2: Do I think he is a guy that I would
18:26
Speaker 2: want to hang out with? You know what I mean?
18:27
Speaker 2: I'm not saying I, people like when I backed Jackson Dart,
18:30
Speaker 2: people were like, how could you do that? Because he
18:32
Speaker 2: did this. I'm like, man, I'm not talking politics here.
18:35
Speaker 2: Like I thought he was dealt a shitty hand as
18:38
Speaker 2: a rookie and he scored a lot of points, like
18:41
Speaker 2: 24 touchdowns, seven turnovers, zero games with Malik neighbors, play
18:45
Speaker 2: caller and coach fired six games into his career, offensive
18:49
Speaker 2: line injuries. And he scored multiple touchdowns in 10 of
18:52
Speaker 2: 12 games. ran all over the field. I was like, man,
18:56
Speaker 2: I think that there's a talent there. And then in
18:58
Speaker 2: week one, he proved me right. And then in week two,
19:01
Speaker 2: he got hurt like everybody said he would.
19:04
Speaker 1: I think Jackson Dart is playmaker is a fair characterization,
19:08
Speaker 1: much like their current quarterback, Jabez Winston.
19:11
Speaker 2: Okay.
19:12
Speaker 1: He makes plays right now. I'm not saying Jackson Dart
19:15
Speaker 1: and Jabez Winston are the same. And I am saying
19:17
Speaker 1: that I thought that Jackson Dart looked good. in that
19:21
Speaker 1: first game. There is a bit of an irony, though,
19:25
Speaker 1: that he was standing in the pocket doing what he
19:28
Speaker 1: was supposed to do, and that's where he wound up
19:30
Speaker 1: getting hurt. What I worry about with him, the two
19:33
Speaker 1: guys that immediately jumped to mind that fit this characterization
19:36
Speaker 1: to me are Robert Griffin and Colt McCoy, and that
19:42
Speaker 1: is two guys where, for whatever reason, when they get hit,
19:48
Speaker 1: it looks like rock just got hit.
19:51
Speaker 2: Right.
19:52
Speaker 1: It is straight. Like you expect the sonic coins to
19:55
Speaker 1: come out of them whenever they get hit. It is
19:58
Speaker 1: not just a little tiny hit. It is like, like Zonk.
20:04
Speaker 1: Like the word needs to be on the screen when
20:06
Speaker 1: it happens.
20:08
Speaker 2: Yeah. I, Also, the broadcast of that hit and then
20:13
Speaker 2: all of the subsequent reporting and what was going on
20:15
Speaker 2: on the internet, people were like, oh, the trainer said
20:18
Speaker 2: four to six weeks. Jackson Dart wants to come back
20:21
Speaker 2: into the game. I think Jackson Dart is going to
20:23
Speaker 2: be fine because he was up in the air when
20:25
Speaker 2: it happened. There was a lot of speculation that was
20:28
Speaker 2: going on, and I was like, I don't know. It
20:31
Speaker 2: looked awful to me.
20:32
Speaker 1: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Do you think Jackson Dart
20:35
Speaker 1: knew why he was in the tent that time?
20:38
Speaker 2: I think he did.
20:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, for those of you who don't know, that boy said,
20:41
Speaker 1: I don't understand why they keep sending me to the tent,
20:43
Speaker 1: which is what I realized that I would not copy
20:45
Speaker 1: off of his paper. When he got in there, I
20:47
Speaker 1: wonder what he thought they was in.
20:49
Speaker 2: There to do. Right. Listen, again, I'm not saying that
20:52
Speaker 2: I want to get beers with the dude. I just
20:55
Speaker 2: think that he's a playmaker and I would be excited
20:57
Speaker 2: about his potential as a quarterback. Because I also think,
21:00
Speaker 2: to your Jameis point a little bit, I'm not terribly
21:04
Speaker 2: interested in trying to model myself after Brock Purdy.
21:06
Speaker 1: It's working.
21:07
Speaker 2: It's working. And good for Brock Purdy. He's playing unbelievable. But, like,
21:12
Speaker 2: I want you to display some sort of high-end playmaking ability.
21:17
Speaker 1: Oh, see, that's interesting you say that because I think
21:19
Speaker 1: of Brock Purdy as a playmaker.
21:24
Speaker 2: I think of him as a great processor.
21:28
Speaker 1: He got a lot of YOLO in him too, boy.
21:31
Speaker 1: He doesn't go the ball in harm's way. I worry
21:35
Speaker 1: that you might be filing a little bit, Danny Parkins.
21:38
Speaker 2: I might be.
21:38
Speaker 1: You might be holding it against him just a little bit.
21:41
Speaker 1: Jackson Dart got that misspelled name, so you think that
21:43
Speaker 1: he's more likely to do playmaker type things. But Brock
21:46
Speaker 1: Purdy right there.
21:49
Speaker 2: See, okay, Brock Purdy to me is– I see it.
21:54
Speaker 2: He doesn't have great arm strength, so he sees it
21:57
Speaker 2: faster than most people, but he gets the ball out quick.
21:59
Speaker 2: And yes, will he run a little bit? For sure.
22:01
Speaker 2: Does he run too much for my liking? Yeah, because
22:04
Speaker 2: he's not big and strong. But I personally look at
22:07
Speaker 2: Brock Purdy as like he executes Kyle Shanahan's offense. That
22:12
Speaker 2: is to me what I see. I see him as
22:13
Speaker 2: an extension of his coach. I'm not saying like brainiac.
22:16
Speaker 2: I'm just saying like he sees the play and he
22:18
Speaker 2: gets the ball out of his hands. Jackson Dart, John
22:23
Speaker 2: Harbaugh was talking about using him like Lamar Jackson. I
22:27
Speaker 2: think he was going to run his ass around a lot.
22:30
Speaker 1: I have to say, when I saw John Harbaugh say that,
22:34
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, buddy, buddy, buddy. I know you
22:38
Speaker 1: feel like you kind of got to do that, right?
22:40
Speaker 1: Because he was your last quarterback and you want to
22:42
Speaker 1: instill some confidence in him. But that's a futuristic thinking
22:46
Speaker 1: that I simply don't possess.
22:49
Speaker 2: I hear you. I'm just saying no one would say
22:50
Speaker 2: that about Brock Purdy. Fair. No one would say that
22:54
Speaker 2: about Brock Purdy.
22:55
Speaker 1: Maybe John Harbaugh would say that because that was just
22:57
Speaker 1: what he was obligated to say. Is that maybe it?
23:01
Speaker 2: I normally think of Jim as the more hyperbolic Harbaugh
23:06
Speaker 2: when he said that Justin Herbert is the greatest quarterback
23:09
Speaker 2: of all time, among other things. But I guess John
23:12
Speaker 2: has a little Jim in him.
23:14
Speaker 1: I mean, they came out of the same house.
23:16
Speaker 2: They did. He's got it better than us.
23:18
Speaker 1: And they are two wide-eyed optimists.
23:22
Speaker 2: They are.
23:23
Speaker 1: That's how they got to where they are, is through straight-ahead,
23:28
Speaker 1: wide-eyed optimism. I asked you about one more team before
23:30
Speaker 1: we go into break. Are you optimistic about the New
23:35
Speaker 1: England Patriots? Because I came away from looking at that
23:38
Speaker 1: game simply thinking that the Steelers are going to stink,
23:42
Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers is cooked, and the Patriots are going
23:46
Speaker 1: to be in a Drake may will not get an
23:49
Speaker 1: extension at the end of this year. That's my hot take. Wow. Wow.
23:54
Speaker 2: I think the Patriots.
23:56
Speaker 1: May be willing to offer him one, but not at
23:59
Speaker 1: the price that he thought he might be able to
24:02
Speaker 1: get one, say like a CJ Stroud situation.
24:07
Speaker 2: Okay. That, yeah. I mean, that is a flaming hot take.
24:10
Speaker 2: I love it.
24:10
Speaker 1: I mean, look, man, how many games in a row
24:13
Speaker 1: has he looked bad?
24:14
Speaker 2: No, I mean, we're at, what six yeah I mean
24:18
Speaker 2: it's a lot of them you know you're you're right
24:22
Speaker 2: um I want to well I listen I know I'll
24:27
Speaker 2: come on again um I want to revisit that one
24:29
Speaker 2: every time we come on because I know.
24:32
Speaker 1: Because I might because you might get to turn this
24:34
Speaker 1: back around oh no no no.
24:35
Speaker 2: No listen listen I but I just like I had
24:39
Speaker 2: not even considered the possibility like I thought like Caleb
24:42
Speaker 2: and Drake will get their offers and they will get more.
24:45
Speaker 2: Cause like the goal, the goal, if you know, you
24:47
Speaker 2: have the guy, you want to sign him as early
24:51
Speaker 2: as possible. Like there's just, that's just how it works.
24:54
Speaker 2: Like you don't want to, the reason that Stroud didn't
24:58
Speaker 2: get a real offer is because they weren't sure they
25:00
Speaker 2: had the guy.
25:01
Speaker 1: Yeah.
25:03
Speaker 2: The same thing with Bryce Young. Like you're not sure
25:05
Speaker 2: you have the guy in the fifth year option. The
25:06
Speaker 2: franchise tag are those types of protections for the teams
25:09
Speaker 2: that I just can't see a world where, yeah, it
25:14
Speaker 2: was against an easy schedule, and I know wins are
25:16
Speaker 2: not a quarterback stat, but runner-up for league MVP, wins
25:21
Speaker 2: the AFC in his second year in the league, he
25:27
Speaker 2: checks all the physical boxes, right? Like, Bryce Young does
25:30
Speaker 2: not check all the physical boxes. I can't see a
25:35
Speaker 2: world where they decide, Three years from now, we don't
25:40
Speaker 2: want Drake May to be our quarterback.
25:41
Speaker 1: I guess what I'm saying is I don't think he's
25:44
Speaker 1: going to have a good season.
25:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, no.
25:46
Speaker 1: And if he doesn't have a good season, then they're
25:49
Speaker 1: going to try to hit him with one number. And
25:52
Speaker 1: I think that his side will be like, okay, I
25:55
Speaker 1: think we're going to need to wait this out. But
25:57
Speaker 1: the perception, I do not think, the way we talk
26:01
Speaker 1: about Drake May as MVP runner-up last year, those aren't
26:04
Speaker 1: going to be the terms that we use. I think
26:07
Speaker 1: at the end of this season, like I was watching
26:09
Speaker 1: Dominique on his show and was talking about watching Drake
26:11
Speaker 1: may play. And there's not a lot of cause for optimism.
26:15
Speaker 2: Here right now. I agree. I agree. I mean, Wilds
26:18
Speaker 2: was like, I'm keeping my eye on a shoulder injury.
26:21
Speaker 2: And Nick was like, you can't keep your eye on
26:23
Speaker 2: an injury when he's not listening on the injury report.
26:25
Speaker 1: And for those who don't know Kevin Wilds, who is
26:27
Speaker 1: a co-host of first things first is a Patriots fan.
26:29
Speaker 1: So that is him whistling past the graveyard and hoping
26:32
Speaker 1: that actually his quarterback isn't a lemon.
26:35
Speaker 2: Correct. That is 100% true. I do not think he
26:42
Speaker 2: is a lemon. I will be interested to... They opened
26:46
Speaker 2: with Seattle and Pittsburgh. And he lost A.J.
26:49
Speaker 1: Brown.
26:50
Speaker 2: And they have offensive line questions like last year. I
26:53
Speaker 2: will be very... I'm willing to hold on to my
26:59
Speaker 2: priors a little bit longer... on Drake May, who I
27:02
Speaker 2: also loved coming out of college.
27:04
Speaker 1: Yeah.
27:04
Speaker 2: Like I was doing radio in Chicago and it was like,
27:06
Speaker 2: Caleb's the guy. I bought a custom Caleb Williams Bears
27:10
Speaker 2: jersey before that, like before the season was even over.
27:13
Speaker 2: I was like, this is the goal. But in draft season,
27:17
Speaker 2: I was like, Drake May is the guy that I
27:19
Speaker 2: thought was the reasonable number two pick between him and Jaden.
27:23
Speaker 2: And I thought that Jaden was going to be really good,
27:25
Speaker 2: but I had it flipped. So I like Drake May,
27:29
Speaker 2: but That would be that would be fascinating if Caleb's
27:32
Speaker 2: the only guy out of that class who gets a
27:34
Speaker 2: contract because Jaden won't. No, no, no.
27:36
Speaker 1: Unless he how long is he going to be out
27:39
Speaker 1: with the busted elbow? Because it's the it's the left elbow, right?
27:42
Speaker 2: Yeah. But like they're they're saying he doesn't want to
27:46
Speaker 2: do surgery, but he's now had a couple of elbow dislocations. Like,
27:50
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, that is a. That is risk.
27:54
Speaker 2: Because he also looked dynamic before he got hurt. Oh,
27:57
Speaker 2: you know who will get a contract? Bo Nix will
28:00
Speaker 2: get a contract.
28:01
Speaker 1: Oh, there's that guy.
28:03
Speaker 2: Bo Nix will get a contract.
28:04
Speaker 1: But I think that's another one where it'll be interesting
28:06
Speaker 1: to see what the team is willing to pay. Because
28:08
Speaker 1: we were hearing well into last season, your buddy Colin
28:12
Speaker 1: Coward talking or implying that Sean Payton might not have
28:17
Speaker 1: been happy with Bo Nix. And I'll say it. If
28:22
Speaker 1: Colin Cowherd is telling you that he thinks that Sean
28:24
Speaker 1: Payton is not happy with Bo Nix, it's probably because
28:28
Speaker 1: Sean Payton told him that. That's on the board is
28:31
Speaker 1: all I'm saying.
28:32
Speaker 2: Oh, I know. Colin does not make any secret that.
28:36
Speaker 2: I mean, he used to have Sean Payton on all
28:37
Speaker 2: the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He does not make any
28:38
Speaker 2: secret about that.
28:39
Speaker 1: I just want to be clear. I'm not saying that
28:41
Speaker 1: it was a Sean tells Colin, Colin goes.
28:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know that to be
28:45
Speaker 2: true or not.
28:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't think he would not say that
28:48
Speaker 1: if he did not have some implication from the man
28:51
Speaker 1: himself that there was such a problem. And we're going
28:54
Speaker 1: to find out how Sean Payton actually feels about him, right?
28:57
Speaker 1: Maybe it's going to be with all these guys. With
29:00
Speaker 1: the exception of Caleb Williams, because unless things go horribly
29:02
Speaker 1: this year, hey, man, you sold this too hard. Everybody's
29:04
Speaker 1: got to be in on this. But I think there's
29:06
Speaker 1: a good chance that, well, there's an offer for you
29:08
Speaker 1: right here if you're willing to take this year for
29:10
Speaker 1: the low, low price of da-da-da. And guys are going
29:14
Speaker 1: to be like, nah, I think I can play myself
29:16
Speaker 1: over that. With Jaden Daniels, what I think is going
29:18
Speaker 1: to be interesting, especially... with you saying that the team
29:21
Speaker 1: seems to talk of surgery, but he doesn't want to
29:24
Speaker 1: have the surgery. If the team wants to have the
29:26
Speaker 1: cert wants him to have surgery and he is not
29:28
Speaker 1: going for the surgery, we're going to find out pretty
29:30
Speaker 1: soon just how sick they are of him and his mama.
29:33
Speaker 2: Yeah. Again, and like, I'm not, I don't have any
29:35
Speaker 2: extra insight into it. Just, but it seems like they
29:37
Speaker 2: are not ready to have a complete decision on how
29:40
Speaker 2: they are going to handle another elbow dislocation for a
29:42
Speaker 2: skinny quarterback they need to be healthy and it's just
29:46
Speaker 2: like we showed on the show the other day all
29:49
Speaker 2: of the times he's been hurt since he's been in
29:51
Speaker 2: the league obviously i'm not a tough individual i wear
29:55
Speaker 2: makeup to work okay They are normal-looking hits, is I
30:01
Speaker 2: think the fair thing to say. They are not like
30:02
Speaker 2: the Jackson Dart hit. That was a play where he
30:06
Speaker 2: wasn't even really hit. He just kind of fell and
30:09
Speaker 2: put his arm down to brace himself, and his elbow
30:11
Speaker 2: went backwards, and Tom Brady cursed on TV. They felt injury-prone.
30:21
Speaker 2: It felt like these types of things would keep happening.
30:23
Speaker 2: I would not be comfortable paying Jaden Daniels.
30:26
Speaker 1: Yeah. Coming up next, we're going to find out if
30:28
Speaker 1: our good buddy Danny Parkins is still 10 toes down
30:32
Speaker 1: for Justin Herbert. Oh, my God. Football is finally back,

Speaker 1: 5 o'clock Eastern on FS1. You got yourself in there
32:11
Speaker 1: on that Justin Herbert thing, which, I mean, I'll be
32:13
Speaker 1: honest with you. I watched it when it started. It
32:15
Speaker 1: felt like he was just doing something for TV one day,
32:17
Speaker 1: and then you couldn't get out. You know what I mean?
32:19
Speaker 1: And that happens sometimes. And now you're kind of stuck
32:21
Speaker 1: on this, and the Chargers look like one of the
32:23
Speaker 1: worst teams in the NFL. And we say that because
32:25
Speaker 1: they lost to two teams that we thought were going
32:28
Speaker 1: to be two of the worst teams in the NFL,
32:30
Speaker 1: and they lost both of those games. I don't want
32:32
Speaker 1: to say at home. but at the stadium where they
32:34
Speaker 1: play the majority of their games.
32:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.
32:37
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? That's maybe the best way
32:39
Speaker 1: to put it. So, like, what's up with your mans?
32:44
Speaker 2: Listen, I mean, he has not been good enough. Hold on,
32:47
Speaker 2: hold on, hold on.
32:48
Speaker 1: You said that you had one word too many there.
32:50
Speaker 1: You said he has not been good enough. He has
32:53
Speaker 1: not been good, Bo. He has not been good.
32:57
Speaker 2: And listen, and I said before the year, and this
32:59
Speaker 2: is not any sort of rocket science take, No team
33:03
Speaker 2: needed a fast start more than the Chargers because, as
33:05
Speaker 2: you pointed out, they opened Arizona and Vegas at home,
33:09
Speaker 2: air quotes, and then their next seven at Buffalo, at Seattle,
33:15
Speaker 2: home against Denver, at Kansas City, at the Rams, home
33:19
Speaker 2: against Houston, at Baltimore. It is arguably the hardest seven-game
33:24
Speaker 2: stretch I have ever seen in an NFL schedule. The
33:27
Speaker 2: only saving grace is that there's a bye week in there.
33:29
Speaker 2: It is ridiculous. So they are in massive trouble, and
33:35
Speaker 2: the odds are only 15% of teams that start 0-2
33:38
Speaker 2: make the playoffs. Their season's probably over. As someone who
33:42
Speaker 2: has a lot of take equity invested in Justin Herbert,
33:46
Speaker 2: I will point out two things. One, and this is
33:50
Speaker 2: from the preseason, I am not alone. Like, There is still,
33:57
Speaker 2: when Jeremy Fowler puts out his ESPN list and he
34:00
Speaker 2: quotes all the coaches, scouts, and executives, and they rank
34:03
Speaker 2: all of the players, and it's like, who are the
34:05
Speaker 2: top 10 quarterbacks? Who are the top 10 receivers? Justin
34:08
Speaker 2: Herbert was seventh. Seventh in the NFL before this year.
34:12
Speaker 2: That is off of that playoff game. That is off
34:14
Speaker 2: of 0-3. These guys are trying to evaluate individual talent
34:19
Speaker 2: amidst the team game. And so the guys who do
34:21
Speaker 2: it for a living, who scout it, say he's the
34:24
Speaker 2: seventh best quarterback in the world. even though his two
34:27
Speaker 2: worst games of his career are in playoff games. So
34:30
Speaker 2: like it's, they agree with me. That's the preseason point.
34:36
Speaker 2: Having watched every snap of both Chargers games, this is
34:39
Speaker 2: not to absolve him. I promise it is not. He
34:42
Speaker 2: is the person who is supposed to execute this offense.
34:45
Speaker 2: It appears to me very clear that they are not
34:49
Speaker 2: up to speed on what Mike McDaniel is trying to do. Dude,
34:55
Speaker 2: And it went viral, so you didn't have to watch
34:57
Speaker 2: the whole game. Justin Herbert is in the dude's grasp.
35:00
Speaker 2: He's side-arming 25 yards down the field. It is going
35:04
Speaker 2: to hit the dude in the chest who's standing there.
35:07
Speaker 2: And his teammate, Manny Ramirez, dives and deflects it away
35:12
Speaker 2: from his own teammate. He played defense against his own
35:17
Speaker 2: receiver who was standing still. It was insane. Trey Harris...
35:21
Speaker 2: is coming in motion. I'm one of those like, Hey,
35:23
Speaker 2: we're going to do the pre-snap window dressing stuff. And
35:26
Speaker 2: they snap the ball into the dude in motion. Joe
35:30
Speaker 2: Alt leads the league in penalties. He's got five of
35:34
Speaker 2: them through two games. They are, then you see like
35:38
Speaker 2: the tight ends, the ball is perfectly in his hands
35:40
Speaker 2: and it tips off and it becomes an interception. Like,
35:43
Speaker 2: and that's not the system. That's just the chargers being
35:45
Speaker 2: the chargers. Like they are not up to speed yet
35:50
Speaker 2: on McDaniel and I love the McDaniel hire most people
35:54
Speaker 2: seem to McDaniel and Harbaugh is a weird fit just
35:58
Speaker 2: like about everything and so like the I think it
36:02
Speaker 2: is clearly taking them time and they're probably screwed like
36:07
Speaker 2: if you call if you say that's an excuse I
36:09
Speaker 2: will wear it but like they're snapping the ball into
36:12
Speaker 2: dudes who are in motion it looks like a team
36:16
Speaker 2: that needed more preseason.
36:17
Speaker 1: To I'll say a couple of things. I thought you did.
36:21
Speaker 1: I thought you did pretty well, to be honest. Number one,
36:24
Speaker 1: if Jim Harbaugh was not quite as famous as Jim
36:27
Speaker 1: Harbaugh is, they went into year three without winning a
36:30
Speaker 1: playoff game. And they come out of this year like
36:32
Speaker 1: five and twelve under almost any other circumstance for firing
36:36
Speaker 1: the coach.
36:37
Speaker 2: I agree.
36:37
Speaker 1: And I don't know if that I mean, that circumstance
36:40
Speaker 1: may exist here, but I think that people need to.
36:42
Speaker 1: start warming themselves up to the idea. I find that
36:46
Speaker 1: when coaches get fired and people are shocked, it's just
36:48
Speaker 1: because they waited too long to warm themselves up to
36:51
Speaker 1: the idea. For example, last year, Sean McDermott and John Harbaugh,
36:55
Speaker 1: obvious candidates to get fired if you just took their
36:57
Speaker 1: names off and ran through what the circumstances were. They'd
37:01
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, you guys are going to get either
37:02
Speaker 1: to championship game or the Super Bowl or the coach
37:05
Speaker 1: is going to get fired. If Harbaugh comes out here
37:07
Speaker 1: with this team and they win like five games, the
37:10
Speaker 1: coach probably gets fired.
37:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, if they're willing to eat the money.
37:13
Speaker 1: Yeah.
37:14
Speaker 2: If they're willing to eat the money.
37:15
Speaker 1: That's just, I mean, and I guess this is the Chargers,
37:18
Speaker 1: so you never know about that, right? Point number two,
37:20
Speaker 1: and it's something that I think we're seeing have an
37:23
Speaker 1: effect all around the league, and I'm curious what you
37:24
Speaker 1: think about this. At some point, don't you get out
37:28
Speaker 1: here and run some plays during the preseason? Like this
37:30
Speaker 1: seems to be having an obvious effect on the quality
37:33
Speaker 1: of play for the league in general, but just for
37:35
Speaker 1: individual teams and their successes. That's not to say that
37:38
Speaker 1: you got to get out here and play four quarters,
37:40
Speaker 1: but is it really that bad a thing to run
37:44
Speaker 1: your guy out, run your guys out there for a
37:46
Speaker 1: drive or maybe a quarter? And I think the argument
37:48
Speaker 1: against it obviously is what if they get hurt? And
37:50
Speaker 1: I'm saying if they are going to get hurt in
37:53
Speaker 1: that preseason game like that, That same injury was going
37:56
Speaker 1: to happen when the regular season started, right? You're just
37:59
Speaker 1: kind of pushing off when it goes down.
38:01
Speaker 2: Yeah. So, and the chargers, they were so bad in
38:04
Speaker 2: their first preseason game and it was a very small
38:08
Speaker 2: amount of plays. They brought them back in the second
38:11
Speaker 2: preseason game and they had a 65 yard touchdown in
38:14
Speaker 2: the Quinton Johnston and everybody celebrated like crazy, subbed everybody out,
38:18
Speaker 2: but they ran five plays in the game. They just
38:20
Speaker 2: happened to connect on one of them. And they are
38:22
Speaker 2: saying again, cause I'm, so knee deep in this. I'm
38:25
Speaker 2: like reading Charter's beat writers. Like they are saying that
38:30
Speaker 2: the execution that they're seeing in practice is just not
38:32
Speaker 2: translating to the games. I tend to be a rest
38:35
Speaker 2: guys in the preseason because you want to be healthy.
38:38
Speaker 2: But as always, I think these things need to evolve.
38:41
Speaker 2: If you are implementing new systems, I think you need
38:44
Speaker 2: to play your guys in the preseason is where I'm
38:47
Speaker 2: at right now. Like Sean McVay doesn't play anybody in
38:49
Speaker 2: the preseason, but he's also been there for forever and
38:52
Speaker 2: he's got a veteran quarterback. Like If you are, hey,
38:55
Speaker 2: we've done things one way for forever. Jim Harbaugh has
38:58
Speaker 2: worked with Greg Roman for a long time, right? It's like, okay,
39:01
Speaker 2: now you're gone. And now here comes Mike McDaniel. And
39:04
Speaker 2: we're going to do more pre-snap motions and more exotic
39:07
Speaker 2: formations and more misdirection and eye candy than we've ever
39:11
Speaker 2: done before. You probably need to actually get live reps
39:15
Speaker 2: of that outside of, you know, these controlled environments of
39:18
Speaker 2: the team scrimmages, which, oh, by the way, is where
39:20
Speaker 2: their center got hurt. So, yeah, I think that they've
39:23
Speaker 2: messed up on that regard. Jim Harbaugh said it after
39:27
Speaker 2: the opener. He's like, I regret not playing guys in
39:29
Speaker 2: the preseason.
39:30
Speaker 1: More.
39:30
Speaker 2: So, you know, again, they're probably screwed. Like Sean McVay
39:37
Speaker 2: fell on the sword for how he handled the Australia trip.
39:41
Speaker 2: And I thought that was great leadership, but it might
39:43
Speaker 2: cost them home field. Like, you know what I mean?
39:46
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean it wasn't a huge mistake. It means, like,
39:49
Speaker 2: good job taking accountability for it, but at the end
39:51
Speaker 2: of that season in that division, it might cost you
39:53
Speaker 2: winning the division, losing that division game. The Chargers not
39:58
Speaker 2: putting more real live reps into their preseason when they
40:02
Speaker 2: were overhauling their system as much as they were, good
40:05
Speaker 2: chance it's going to end up costing them their entire
40:07
Speaker 2: season because there's no reason they should be 0-2 right now.
40:11
Speaker 1: Um, you had mentioned the 49ers a little bit earlier. Um,
40:14
Speaker 1: they came out okay from the Australia game and then
40:16
Speaker 1: they got lucky because they didn't have to play a
40:19
Speaker 1: real game when they came back. They got to play, um,
40:22
Speaker 1: against the dolphins. Now they get a home game against the, uh,
40:25
Speaker 1: maybe better than we thought one and one Arizona Cardinals. Um,
40:31
Speaker 1: It would be very interesting if the 49ers can keep
40:34
Speaker 1: going with this because I think we agree that's the
40:36
Speaker 1: best division in the league, or at least at the
40:37
Speaker 1: very top, that is the best division in the league.
40:39
Speaker 1: I thought they were pretty sure to wind up being third.
40:43
Speaker 1: That doesn't look like it's going to happen, but it
40:45
Speaker 1: still can. Seattle is still undefeated, and the Rams looked
40:48
Speaker 1: good on Monday night.
40:50
Speaker 2: Seattle, I think, is going to make a real run
40:53
Speaker 2: at the Patriots' 21 consecutive wins.
40:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's almost like they're the defending Super Bowl champions.
41:00
Speaker 1: Isn't that crazy?
41:01
Speaker 2: I know.
41:01
Speaker 1: I know.
41:03
Speaker 2: Who could have seen it coming except people who watched
41:06
Speaker 2: football last year? Yeah, they're really good. On the subject
41:10
Speaker 2: of the Niners, though, they finished in third place in
41:15
Speaker 2: that division last year. That's true. And won 12 games
41:19
Speaker 2: last year and were the third most injured team in
41:22
Speaker 2: football last year. So the argument for the Niners before
41:26
Speaker 2: this year was very simple because everyone was like, well...
41:29
Speaker 2: Trent Williams and Fred Warner and George Kittle and Nick Bosa,
41:32
Speaker 2: their best players are old, so they are more likely
41:34
Speaker 2: to get injured again. Completely agree. Can you be slightly
41:39
Speaker 2: less injured than last year? Can you be the 20th
41:43
Speaker 2: most injured team in football instead of the 29th? And
41:46
Speaker 2: then you won 12 games. Now you were not fielding
41:52
Speaker 2: a competitive roster in that playoff game. against Seattle. That
41:57
Speaker 2: was an easy spot to see that they were going
41:59
Speaker 2: to get blown out. But they're really good. They are
42:03
Speaker 2: really well coached, and it's a really good roster, so
42:05
Speaker 2: long as it's healthy. And right now, wide receiver notwithstanding,
42:10
Speaker 2: it is a pretty healthy version of the Niners, so
42:12
Speaker 2: they're really good.
42:14
Speaker 1: You want to laugh at something right, Fass?
42:16
Speaker 2: Let's do it.
42:17
Speaker 1: Do you realize how sorry the Falcons are?
42:21
Speaker 2: Dude, they haven't had a red zone play yet.
42:23
Speaker 1: Play they have not had to ball in the red
42:25
Speaker 1: zone once like it's the bad old days like they
42:29
Speaker 1: are they are on a crazy run of not making
42:31
Speaker 1: the playoffs the the thing now is but we're just
42:34
Speaker 1: waiting for michael pennix to come back and i don't
42:36
Speaker 1: think that's cause for optimism at.
42:38
Speaker 2: All um i mean it is relative to cooper rush yeah.
42:42
Speaker 1: Or cooper rush and the big fella that they that
42:45
Speaker 1: they brought in after that like oh yeah what was
42:48
Speaker 1: that dude jack stand i think his name is yeah
42:51
Speaker 1: jack They are so bad, and I say all that
42:55
Speaker 1: to say, Packers better not lose to them.
42:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, yeah, that would be a disaster for
43:02
Speaker 2: Green Bay. Yeah, Jack Strand, hilarious. Yeah, that would be
43:06
Speaker 2: a horrifying loss for Green Bay, who hasn't won a
43:09
Speaker 2: game without Micah Parsons dating back to last year, and
43:12
Speaker 2: they keep blowing all these double-digit leads. Green Bay's in
43:15
Speaker 2: a weird spot. They've got an offensive coach who's conservative.
43:19
Speaker 2: That would drive me absolutely insane. You have a good quarterback.
43:24
Speaker 2: Use him. I know their offensive line is injured. They're
43:27
Speaker 2: starting two backup guards, but that would drive me insane
43:31
Speaker 2: if I was a Packers fan. In Atlanta, the team
43:37
Speaker 2: building didn't make sense. First round pick on Drake London,
43:40
Speaker 2: first round pick on Bijan Robinson, first round pick on
43:43
Speaker 2: Kyle Pitts, no pass rush, no quarterback. And then when
43:47
Speaker 2: they feel like they need a quarterback... They do Pennix
43:49
Speaker 2: and Cousins at the same time. And then they're like,
43:51
Speaker 2: oh yeah, we forgot about pass rush. And they trade
43:53
Speaker 2: a future first round pick to move back into that
43:56
Speaker 2: draft and take the dude, like Pierce in the middle
43:59
Speaker 2: of the first round, who's not available.
44:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a problem.
44:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, to put it mildly. And, but so it's like,
44:09
Speaker 2: they forgot to invest in the two most important parts
44:13
Speaker 2: of a team and then to try to like band-aid
44:16
Speaker 2: over it they did it in, like, the most expensive
44:19
Speaker 2: way possible. Top pick on Pennix and $ 180 million on Cousins.
44:24
Speaker 2: First-round pick on a pass rusher and a future first-round
44:27
Speaker 2: pick on a pass rusher, overdrafting both guys. So, like,
44:29
Speaker 2: they just... It's been a very poor way to build
44:32
Speaker 2: a football team.
44:34
Speaker 1: You see why I quit that, right?
44:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that was smart. Self-preservation.
44:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, you've stuck it out with
44:42
Speaker 1: your guys. I....
44:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, man. I... Loyal to a fault. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
44:48
Speaker 2: I have the same friends since third grade.
44:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like to think of myself as being loyal.
44:53
Speaker 1: I'm afraid that my attitude about the Falcons is a
44:56
Speaker 1: reflection of a character flaw. But I also feel like
44:58
Speaker 1: if I'm being real, man, I'd like to think that
45:02
Speaker 1: I'm an inspiration. Sure. You know what I mean? I'd
45:06
Speaker 1: like to think that I'm showing people that you don't
45:08
Speaker 1: have to stay in toxic, unhealthy relationships. That's my thought.
45:11
Speaker 1: But right now, the Falcons have a worse point differential
45:13
Speaker 1: than the Dolphins. They got destroyed by the Panthers. The Panthers,
45:20
Speaker 1: who gave up 59 points to the Bears, gave up
45:23
Speaker 1: three to the Falcons. And again, they're playing bum quarterbacks.
45:27
Speaker 1: I just don't know how much better it's going to
45:28
Speaker 1: be when they bring out their one-legged quarterback, who may
45:30
Speaker 1: be a no-legged quarterback because I feel like he's torn
45:32
Speaker 1: up both of those knees.
45:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got three ACLs now, right? Dating back to college.
45:37
Speaker 1: Well, I'd assume he has none, but yes.
45:39
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, yeah, yeah. Good point. Somewhere between zero and two. Yes.
45:45
Speaker 2: But I believe he's torn it three times. He at
45:48
Speaker 2: least will throw the ball down the field. Like, he
45:52
Speaker 2: will throw the ball outside the hash marks. Like, he's
45:56
Speaker 2: got a strong arm. I don't know if he can
45:58
Speaker 2: throw it in the middle of the field. I don't
45:59
Speaker 2: know if he can't just throw bullets to everybody. But, like,
46:02
Speaker 2: he will at least... Throw the ball, which Cooper Rush
46:06
Speaker 2: does not do. The week one game against Pittsburgh, one
46:10
Speaker 2: of my favorite things from that game, was B. John
46:14
Speaker 2: Robinson had 10 targets. The rest of the Falcons pass
46:18
Speaker 2: catchers had nine. Like he just, he was like, snap,
46:23
Speaker 2: dump it off to B. John. And then T.J. Watt
46:25
Speaker 2: had that pick six because they finally figured out the
46:27
Speaker 2: only thing they needed to do was guard the swing pass.
46:33
Speaker 2: do you want to talk about what's happening to my
46:34
Speaker 2: guy caleb online or do you not want to.
46:37
Speaker 1: I'm not aware of what's going on with him online
46:39
Speaker 1: let me know oh stop yes you are no i'm not.
46:45
Speaker 2: Okay the memes are hilarious i've got no problem with
46:51
Speaker 2: the memes you know it's like uh me on the hospital,
46:58
Speaker 2: me on the uncomfortable couch after my wife goes through labor,
47:01
Speaker 2: fist bump in the air with the towel, right? Like
47:04
Speaker 2: me after I burn the top of my mouth with
47:07
Speaker 2: Hot Pockets.
47:08
Speaker 1: Got it.
47:08
Speaker 2: Towel, fist, hilarious. But like the worst people are having
47:17
Speaker 2: the worst takes and they're talking about his toughness. They're
47:22
Speaker 2: talking about fingernail painting.
47:24
Speaker 1: Oh, it's back now.
47:25
Speaker 2: It's so bad. But, like, not from bots, dude. I
47:28
Speaker 2: am not strawmanning this. I don't really want to say
47:30
Speaker 2: their names because some of them are people that I
47:32
Speaker 2: have worked with or, like, whatever. But, like, ex-NFL players
47:36
Speaker 2: calling him soft.
47:38
Speaker 1: I did see one. The one where you cool with
47:41
Speaker 1: his brother.
47:44
Speaker 2: Yeah. And we haven't talked in a while. But, yes,
47:47
Speaker 2: that would be one. A guy on his show actually
47:51
Speaker 2: used the word soft. That guy said, you just can't
47:53
Speaker 2: do it. It's reserved for the sacred thing.
47:56
Speaker 1: That being right out on the cart.
47:58
Speaker 2: Right out on the cart and cry. Ex-offensive lineman said
48:02
Speaker 2: you just can't do it over a hamstring injury. People
48:06
Speaker 2: talking about sexual orientation. People talking about nails. People talking
48:10
Speaker 2: about how Chicago will never embrace him. I just... The
48:14
Speaker 2: dude got sacked 68 times his rookie year and didn't
48:17
Speaker 2: miss a game. He is objectively tough. And I am...
48:22
Speaker 2: In the NBA... One of the criticisms of some of
48:26
Speaker 2: the ex-players is that all they do is shit on
48:29
Speaker 2: the current product. How can you be these guys who
48:32
Speaker 2: played in the NFL and question his toughness when it's like,
48:38
Speaker 2: I don't know, I saw Jackson Dart get hurt and
48:40
Speaker 2: try to get back into the game and walk around
48:43
Speaker 2: and stand up. Maybe he should have gotten on the cart. Like,
48:46
Speaker 2: it just... It blows my mind... how I mean it
48:52
Speaker 2: shouldn't because that I was going to say like how
48:53
Speaker 2: dumb people could be or how reckless people could be
48:55
Speaker 2: with their opinions because like that's obviously not true I've
48:57
Speaker 2: been around the block long enough to know that but
48:59
Speaker 2: it's just a uh and maybe I'm protective of my
49:03
Speaker 2: guy on some level but it just feels like lowest
49:06
Speaker 2: hanging fruit and again I have no problem with the
49:08
Speaker 2: memes the memes are funny and fans should make memes
49:12
Speaker 2: and he thought his season was over and he might
49:14
Speaker 2: be back in a week like he's got to catch
49:16
Speaker 2: jokes for that I have no problem with jokes I
49:19
Speaker 2: do have a problem with the projection on his toughness
49:24
Speaker 2: or the idea that he isn't masculine enough for the
49:26
Speaker 2: guy on the internet to wear his makeup to work.
49:28
Speaker 1: Yeah. I didn't know that we were still doing the
49:30
Speaker 1: fingernail painting thing, which I'll be honest, not my speed,
49:34
Speaker 1: but I do not take as I'm not extrapolating too
49:38
Speaker 1: much out of this except for the fact that it
49:39
Speaker 1: looks ridiculous.
49:41
Speaker 2: That's fine. Again, personal preference.
49:43
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. But I just didn't, I, I, I thought
49:46
Speaker 1: that that, I thought we had gotten done with that though.
49:48
Speaker 1: I guess it's just going to be a thing. A
49:50
Speaker 1: that pops up every now and then, and B everybody's
49:53
Speaker 1: got a microphone and nobody's got an editor. Like that
49:57
Speaker 1: to me is the part about the podcast economy that
49:59
Speaker 1: we don't talk nearly enough about. The issue isn't that
50:02
Speaker 1: it's too many microphones. The issue is that it's not
50:04
Speaker 1: enough producers to, Not enough people to be like, hey,
50:07
Speaker 1: we're not going to do that. Yeah. They're like, no,
50:10
Speaker 1: we're just going to ride this out.
50:12
Speaker 2: And listen, I get it. Like, I'm trying to not
50:14
Speaker 2: say any names, even though people can figure it out.
50:16
Speaker 2: But like, because like the idea of clickbait and like it,
50:20
Speaker 2: they're just using his name to get attention to their thing.
50:26
Speaker 2: But some of these people don't need it. They've got
50:28
Speaker 2: all the money in the world and they've got plenty
50:29
Speaker 2: of attention. It just, I'd be embarrassed. I'd be embarrassed.
50:36
Speaker 2: And I think that shame has just left the station
50:39
Speaker 2: a long time ago.
50:40
Speaker 1: I will say this, though. He has one tough guy
50:43
Speaker 1: ally in this, and that is Leonard Fournette. Dude, I
50:47
Speaker 1: saw that. Leonard Fournette is way near the you don't
50:52
Speaker 1: want it list. Number one, he's from New Orleans, and
50:55
Speaker 1: I ain't met a sucker from New Orleans yet.
50:57
Speaker 2: Not once.
50:58
Speaker 1: I don't think you want problems with any of them.
51:01
Speaker 1: He offered to pull up on you bad about it.
51:04
Speaker 2: That would, I would click.
51:07
Speaker 1: For anyone who remembers, Leonard Fournette was out of the game.
51:12
Speaker 1: I think it was his last home game at LSU.
51:14
Speaker 1: He had been declared out for that game. He could
51:17
Speaker 1: not play. There was a fight between the two teams
51:20
Speaker 1: before the game. Leonard Fournette goes out there on one
51:24
Speaker 1: leg and after that declares, I'm going to play. Like,
51:29
Speaker 1: he did not turn into the football player that we
51:32
Speaker 1: thought that he was going to turn into. But he
51:34
Speaker 1: stayed a dude that I don't think you want no
51:36
Speaker 1: problems with.
51:37
Speaker 2: Yeah. And, like... He calls you out for your take,
51:43
Speaker 2: and you just tell him he needs to learn how
51:45
Speaker 2: to read.
51:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn't have done that.
51:48
Speaker 2: It's so corny.
51:49
Speaker 1: For a number of reasons.
51:51
Speaker 2: I would not have done that. Yeah, for a number
51:53
Speaker 2: of reasons.
51:54
Speaker 1: Like, that's... Yeah, nah, nah, nah. But, yeah, if Lenny say.
51:59
Speaker 1: Lenny say he tough. I'm a roll with Lenny.
52:03
Speaker 2: Amen.
52:04
Speaker 1: All right. Last day before we get done with this, man,
52:07
Speaker 1: we'd like to do this thing with you. Danny Parkins
52:11
Speaker 1: lives in the mean streets of Westchester County. That's right.
52:15
Speaker 1: It'd be rumble tumble out there. And he gets a
52:17
Speaker 1: chance to look at the, the police blotter from the
52:21
Speaker 1: newspaper about what's going on out there in his hometown.
52:25
Speaker 1: We got any, we got any, we got some new goodness.
52:27
Speaker 2: We got some goodness. I think you guys are going
52:30
Speaker 2: to enjoy these. This is pretty good. All right. Number one.
52:35
Speaker 2: A Colonial Road resident told police that his wife's American
52:39
Speaker 2: Express card was fraudulently used to purchase $ 752 worth of shoes.
52:48
Speaker 2: Methinks that the wife bought the shoes.
52:50
Speaker 1: Hold on.
52:51
Speaker 2: Hold on.
52:52
Speaker 1: Here's the other thing about that. They didn't just call
52:55
Speaker 1: American Express. You called the cops.
52:58
Speaker 2: Call the cops. Call the cops. Yeah. I'm not disputing
53:02
Speaker 2: the charge. I'm not canceling the card. I'm getting law
53:05
Speaker 2: enforcement involved.
53:07
Speaker 1: And hold on. Do you have an American Express?
53:10
Speaker 2: No, I'm a Chase guy.
53:11
Speaker 1: Okay. I only bring this up to say this. They
53:15
Speaker 1: have a very delicate fraud alert on there.
53:19
Speaker 2: Right?
53:20
Speaker 1: He did not get the text message raising the question
53:23
Speaker 1: as to whether or not it was fraud.
53:26
Speaker 2: I I also would say, just given what my wife
53:29
Speaker 2: says about some of the women around here and the
53:33
Speaker 2: cost of their shoes, my wife has some nice shoes.
53:37
Speaker 2: She's like, the wife 100% bought $ 752 worth of shoes.
53:44
Speaker 2: Because $ 752 of shoes does not even turn, you don't
53:46
Speaker 2: even get a head turn around here. All right, next one.
53:50
Speaker 2: A driver on Tisdale Road told police that another driver
53:53
Speaker 2: spit on his car and he followed the driver to
53:56
Speaker 2: confront him. The two began arguing and when police arrived,
53:59
Speaker 2: the other driver told them he had a medical condition
54:02
Speaker 2: that caused him to spit and it accidentally hit the
54:04
Speaker 2: other car. In the newspaper.
54:12
Speaker 1: This is, boy, that's what they call the cops for, huh?
54:15
Speaker 2: Dude, it's the best. It's the best. We can keep
54:17
Speaker 2: it moving. A resident of Montrose Road reported that her
54:21
Speaker 2: Grubhub donut delivery may have been drugged even though the
54:25
Speaker 2: container was sealed. Shortly after eating a blueberry glazed donut,
54:29
Speaker 2: she felt fatigued and her eye began to twitch. The
54:32
Speaker 2: woman went to Quest Diagnostics for a drug test and
54:34
Speaker 2: gave herself an at-home test. Both results were negative.
54:40
Speaker 1: They followed this all the way to the home part, huh?
54:42
Speaker 2: Unbelievable, dude. The Grubhub donuts were sealed, but I'm convinced
54:49
Speaker 2: that I've been drugged. Wow. I'm thinking this person maybe
54:52
Speaker 2: doesn't have a ton of experience with drugs. I don't know.
54:56
Speaker 2: It's pretty good. All right. I think we have, yeah,
55:02
Speaker 2: we got two more here. A Willow Lane resident told
55:05
Speaker 2: police her car was missing from her driveway, but later
55:08
Speaker 2: remembered she left the car at the Fenway Golf Club
55:12
Speaker 2: earlier that day and got a ride home. You have to,
55:20
Speaker 2: I mean, you have to move. If you call the
55:25
Speaker 2: cops because you got so hammered at the country club
55:28
Speaker 2: that you got driven home that you then think your
55:31
Speaker 2: car was stolen, I think you just have to move.
55:35
Speaker 1: One would think.
55:37
Speaker 2: Right, I mean, that's just like the level, again, shame
55:39
Speaker 2: has left a bit. And by the way, Fenway Golf Club,
55:42
Speaker 2: that's not an inexpensive place to join. So I'm sure
55:44
Speaker 2: that was a very nice car.
55:46
Speaker 1: And that's the part that makes me think this must
55:48
Speaker 1: happen all the time.
55:51
Speaker 2: All the time. And by the way, like, Shout out
55:53
Speaker 2: to you. You got over-served at brunch and then you
55:56
Speaker 2: didn't drive home. You were being responsible. Then you were
56:00
Speaker 2: very irresponsible for calling the cops.
56:03
Speaker 1: But you know what? Them cops are just sitting in
56:04
Speaker 1: there playing paddle ball, you know, pop or whatever. They
56:07
Speaker 1: ain't doing nothing. That's a Bayberry, Bayberry PD going on
56:11
Speaker 1: over there.
56:12
Speaker 2: Yep. And then, uh, here it seems like our monthly, uh,
56:16
Speaker 2: version of calling the cops on kids being kids, uh,
56:21
Speaker 2: A caller reported kids on electric bikes were riding on
56:25
Speaker 2: Greendale Road. Police responded to the scene and found the
56:28
Speaker 2: youths were not disturbing anyone or damaging anything. On bikes!
56:37
Speaker 1: Look, man.
56:38
Speaker 2: Kids on bikes, where do I live? What is happening?
56:41
Speaker 1: These are my neighbors. I'm just going to say this
56:44
Speaker 1: thing right here, man. And it's like, I don't want
56:49
Speaker 1: people to think that I don't respect law enforcement and
56:53
Speaker 1: what they have to do. And it's some cops out
56:56
Speaker 1: there with real difficult jobs. And then it's cast like this.
57:01
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. You understand what I'm saying? I do.
57:07
Speaker 1: Not everybody's out here toiling and legitimately fighting crime.
57:15
Speaker 2: I would just be so embarrassed. And I will also
57:18
Speaker 2: say Other than giving me great content in my group
57:22
Speaker 2: chat with my boys from back home, great content when
57:25
Speaker 2: I come on the right time with Bomani Jones, it
57:28
Speaker 2: also has proven to be a pretty effective litmus test
57:31
Speaker 2: when I am at school functions or youth sporting events.
57:35
Speaker 2: If I bring it up to other dads along the
57:38
Speaker 2: buffet line or the sidelines or whatever about an item here,
57:42
Speaker 2: if they think that it was a worthwhile reason to
57:44
Speaker 2: call the police... I know you're not going to be
57:47
Speaker 2: a suburban friend of mine and we can keep it moving.
57:51
Speaker 1: Right.
57:51
Speaker 2: You also laugh at it. Then I'm willing to continue
57:54
Speaker 2: the conversation. It's been a really nice entry point for me.
57:56
Speaker 1: You know what? That's why we rock with you here.
57:59
Speaker 1: That's these are the subtle ways that we figure out
58:01
Speaker 1: who our people are.
58:02
Speaker 2: That's right.
58:03
Speaker 1: Yeah.
58:03
Speaker 2: It's like little points of entry into conversation. Like, are
58:06
Speaker 2: you going to be tolerable for the next 60 minutes
58:09
Speaker 2: while these four year olds pretend to play t-ball?
58:12
Speaker 1: Danny Park, check him out. First things first, 5 o'clock
