• 1:16
  Speaker 4: Talking football, and they all wear a whistle. Yeah, it's stupid,
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: but what did you expect?
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: It's a podcast called 25 Whistles.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: 25 Whistles.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: Oh, boy.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Question for you guys. I'm going
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: to Las Vegas in a few weeks to play in
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: a celebrity poker tournament.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: So cool. Okay.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: So I think they get a bunch of has-beens that
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: used to be famous, and we.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: All play poker. No, that's not how they label that.
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: Not has-beens, dude. Come on.
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: Who else is playing? Do you know?
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I can pull it up and look.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: But it's like the celebrity poker net. It's on television
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: somewhere on some random channel. I used to play a
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: lot of poker. I'm just wondering from you guys, do
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: you think I should wear sunglasses?
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: That's the best. To me, when they wear sunglasses, they
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: mean business. So, yes.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I haven't played in a while. If I wear sunglasses
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: and I'm rusty and suck, the sunglasses just makes it worse.
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: That is true, but at least you already wear glasses
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: in general.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: There we go.
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: So, like, there's a new look. Oh, he's got sunglasses on?
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: And then you can always tell him that you need
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: glasses to play.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: But then they would say, just put on your normal glasses.
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Should I wear sunglasses when I play in this tournament?
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: 1,000%.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, you go, yeah. 1,000?
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Eddie?
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: 100%.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: So 10 times less than him. Yeah.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: But still, I'm at 100.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Mike?
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, get some of those pit vipers. Well, that'd be prescription.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: What are pit vipers?
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Let me see this. Like, think of the Jose Canseco
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Oakley glasses.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like Gronk wears those?
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, as much as, yeah.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: Those are cool.
• 3:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: So, okay, then I might. But people are going to
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: think I'm a douchebag.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: For sure.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: But that's not my thing. My thing's not looking purposefully
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: like a douchebag.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: Can I tell you something, though? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anytime
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: I turn on the TV to watch poker, you know,
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: which is like when nothing else is on, but sometimes
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: I'll watch it just to see a cool hand go
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: down or whatever, and I feel like they're all kind
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: of DBs.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Professional players, probably they'll wear them for a specific reason.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I would just be wearing them because I am a douchebag.
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: I don't think you'll be the only one wearing them, though.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think so either.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: So here are some of the other people playing. Wyndham Clark.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: Not a has-been. Nope. Golfer. Golfer, dude. And he's very
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: relevant these days.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Gary Payton.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Legend. Hall of Famer.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Basketball. Nate Robinson.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: Basketball. Love Nate.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Joe Gatto.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Is that the... Baseball? No, no, no. Is that the dude?
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Is he a practical joker?
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: That is him, yeah.
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: Oh, you're right.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: The one that got in trouble.
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: I'm thinking Joey Votto.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: He's the one that got in trouble?
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the one that he was talking to someone. Mike? Yeah,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: the one with a fan and the DMs. They got posted.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Possibly younger?
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: I don't think.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, wasn't it? But he was married with a kid.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: No? Got it. Ryan Garcia? Boxer?
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: My cousin? Oh, yeah. Boxer. Ryan Garcia, yes.
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: Super relevant.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Neon, but N3ON. Is he a streamer?
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: I don't know. That one I don't know.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Jeff Wittek. W-I-T-T-E-K. Neon's got to be a streamer. If
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: you can tell me who Jeff W-I-T-T-E-K is.
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, he's a YouTuber. He used to be with
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: the David Dobrik crew.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Jeff, well, what if I don't know who David Dobrik is?
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: He's one of the biggest YouTubers?
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm too old.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: He was like Mr.
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: Beast before Mr.
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: Beast.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: OG.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Jeff Witek is in that group. He was in that group.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: They had a big falling out.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Holly Madison.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: Is that the website where you cheat on your wife?
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Ashley Madison.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Holly Madison was with Hugh Hefner. Yeah, that Holly.
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: It was the reality show.
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: From back in the day, the bunnies.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: And several others. They're giving me a buy-in value to $ 3, 000.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: You cash out before you even start?
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I think it's a tournament. That would be funny.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: I would like to cash out.
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: With the sunglasses?
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: Oh, my gosh. Bobby Bones cashes out before the tournament
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: even starts. It's $ 2, 998.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Yes, I'm going to do that in a couple weeks.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: That's awesome.
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: Are you nervous?
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: No, because I have no expectation. I have just not
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: played consistently at all. I've not played at all in years.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: And I got the invite. And so I said, yeah,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: but I said yes six months ago or I wouldn't
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: have said yes. If they asked me, hey, would you
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: like to go play in two weeks right now? I'd
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: say no.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: No.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I don't want to do anything.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: Are there any ringers playing or are they just all celebs?
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: It just says celebrity poker net.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: Man, I feel like you can win this thing.
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: They can't be.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: No, I'm sure they play a lot.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Generally, those people all play a lot.
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: I just saw Ryan Garcia in another one.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: Oh, a tournament?
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: He might actually live in Vegas though, right?
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, probably.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: And if you live there, I'm assuming you're probably in
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: that world.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: Play a lot.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're in that world a bit. I did get
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: a Rams future. I bet on that. Got a pretty
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: good odds before they start winning again. So I've added
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: that to my list of futures. So when I win
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: money and I'm ahead for the week, I take some
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: of that money and I invest it back in to
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: a future and then I take some profit.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: What are your futures as of now?
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Cowboys.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl winners?
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: All these are Super Bowl winners.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Cowboys.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: Ravens.
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: Rams.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: That's the latest one you put in?
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Can I talk you into another one?
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: Because I think I'm going to do it.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Then I'm out.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Today.
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: You don't have any futures, right, Eddie?
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: I don't really do futures.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I'm out.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: But I've been losing.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: And if you say it's one that I already have,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I'm cashing out and taking a loss before the season
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: even happens.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: Well, didn't you just mention all the ones you have?
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but if you say you want to get one
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: of them, I'm out of mine.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: You cashed out of that. I'm not going to say that.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: I am going to start a new one. And this
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: might be my first futures ever.
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: Ever.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: For sure this season. I think last year maybe I
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: did the Cowboys somewhere in the middle of the season.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: That was stupid. I might as well just give my
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: money away. But I think I'm going to go with
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: the Bears to win the Super Bowl.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: They just got Jeffrey Simmons.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: I feel like the Bears can win it all. And
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: no one is really looking at them to win it all.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: People are talking about them winning it all.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know. But they have the 49ers in the way.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: But you're acting like you're making some bold prediction. It is.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: It's plus 1100 right now.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Even before they got Jeffrey Simmons... People were like, I
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: think the Bears could really be a team that goes far.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Who said that? Me. Oh, you're quoting me.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Maybe I am. Am I crazy for thinking he's crazy?
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: No, not at all. Everyone's talking about the Bears, but
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: to him, nobody's talking.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: About the Bears. Okay, well, the odds are 49ers, Bills, Chiefs, Seahawks, Rams,
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: then the Bears. So no one's talking about the Bears.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: So you're telling me, what are they, sixth?
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: So that would be almost NFC Championship.
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's pretty high up there for 32 teams.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: I am making that bet right now.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: That's great. I can't get into my DraftKings account.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: Uh-oh. They locked you out.
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: Send you another message?
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: That'd be a disaster for them to lock me out.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: That would be a big mistake.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Why would they be turning money down? Yeah. I'm finally in.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Here we go. Let's see. Open.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Rams at plus 1050. Chiefs at plus 900. Broncos at
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: plus 2000. These are all the ones I got. I
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: got that one because Amy said she had a psychic prediction.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: The Ravens at plus 950 and the Cowboys at plus 2500.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: So those are all of them. One, two, three, four, five.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: And now?
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: If you're going with the Bears, I predict some devastating
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: injuries this week in Chicago.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: Why do you say that about me?
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I don't just for effect. I do based on the
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: experience of betting with you or being on your team
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: when we bet something. Or you chase a bet that
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I do and then it loses.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: That happened to me with the Bengals. Okay, I picked
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: the Bengals. They were supposed to be good last year.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: And then Joe Burrow.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Not just that.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: And then the Cowboys.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Generally, Eddie kind of loses, right?
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: We've seen it for years now on this podcast.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: I do lose.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I've not had a great year, so I can't talk
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: a lot.
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: Same.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Your team can win the championship this season, but it
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: has to miss the playoffs for the next 10 years.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Are you taking the deal? Again, your team can win
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: the championship this season, but they will miss the playoffs
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: for the next decade. Do you take the championship? Eddie Cowboys.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: Yes. Give it to me. I'll take the deal. The
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: main reason I want to take the deal is because
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: I'm raising four boys right now, and I thought that
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: they were all going to be Cowboys lifer right now
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: out of my four boys. children, one seems to be
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: a lifer. He's the only one that sticks with me
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: and watches the whole game. The other three, they're bailing,
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: and they're bailing fast.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Understandably.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: I get it, and I don't blame them, but if
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: we won the championship this year, they're all in.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I go yes, too, because I'd obviously give that championship
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: to the Arkansas Razorbacks. Ten years not being good, I
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: can do that standing on my head. It's like people going,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: two years in prison, I can do that easy because
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I've done 20 years.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're used to it.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I'm used to losing. You give me a championship, yeah,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: I'll take ten years easily. I'll take ten years easily.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Death penalty. Oh.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Give me a championship death penalty. The SMU? We haven't
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: had a championship since 1964. So, yes. Dang. Now, Kevin,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: your Patriots are their known winners. They have won in
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: your life a significant amount.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: You're used to winning.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: You've had a lot of championships. So, as of today,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: would you take a championship for no playoffs for the
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: next 10 years?
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: Guys, I would not. Because I've seen, to your point
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: you just said, I've seen six championships from the Patriots alone.
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: And we missed the playoffs a couple years in a row,
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: and that was so boring to me. I just want
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: to make playoffs for a few years. I could not
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: go 10 years without the playoffs, even for a championship.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: And you have the experience. Yeah. We don't. Eddie has
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: it from when you were a teenager, I guess.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: A long time ago. And he sounds like a rich person, right?
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: Like a person that has all this money. They're like, oh,
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: you know. But he is a rich.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: He's rich in championships.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. So he's used to winning. You're
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: used to winning. For us, we would do anything for
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: another win. I know. I'm sorry.
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: I wish you could feel what I've felt for the
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: last 20 years. I really do.
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: Shut up.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: But you're just a Cowboys fan.
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: Shut up.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Even I am like, shut up. And Eddie's isn't even
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: for him. It's for his kids.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: It is, man.
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: Selfless.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Your kids have never experienced it.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: Never, man.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Your kids are me with Arkansas.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: And when they were younger, they were so excited about
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: the Cowboys because they didn't know how bad they were.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: They were just a team that they could root for.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: And now that they have to live through it, they're
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: bailing on me quick. One of them even was like, Dad,
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: I kind of like the Titans better than the Cowboys.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's even worse.
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: What did you say? They're worse.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he'll change again in a couple years.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: You might as well tell me you like the Bin Ladens.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: Jeez.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee beat Tampa Bay 4-1 last night. Did you guys
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: watch any of that game last night?
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: A little bit.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: You did watch some?
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a little bit. I just had it on.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I've been zero interest.
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: Had it on. Every time I kept looking over, they
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: were fixing something on the mound because there was something
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: wrong with the mound. I think the pitcher kind of
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: like twisted his ankle because it was loose dirt or something.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: Other than that, I saw the celebration.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I'm glad they won. I think both teams winning would
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: have been fun. We were in a situation where both
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: those teams, hey, that's cute. Good job.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: That is cute. Yeah.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Good job. Good job, team.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: You know what sucks, though? To win a World Series
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: on the road.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Cubs did.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: I know. And it's cool because you won the World Series,
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: and especially for them, the first time ever.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: That's 08, just to be fair.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: Right, right, right. What was it, Milwaukee? Milwaukee.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, I thought you meant the Cubs. Sorry, I think
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: only the Cubs. The Brewers, yes.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: The Brewers, yes.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: But like, you know, it's your first World Series and
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: then you're celebrating and no one is really, there's no confetti,
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: there's no nothing. You're just kind of you guys celebrating.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, warm up the plane quick.
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, let's go back home and celebrate. There were a
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: lot of Brewers fans there.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: There were, they traveled well.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: It helps when you're up 3-0 too.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: Question though about the... 3-1.
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: Before that game, sorry. Before that game. Like going to
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: Tampa the first time.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Got it.
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: Both games.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Got it. Just making sure our facts are right.
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they were up 3-1, yes.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: The Rays. Are they required to sit there and stare
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: at the.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: They're not.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: Why do they do that?
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Well, now the thing it's cool to do is sit
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: and stare and have somebody take a picture of you
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: sitting and staring and go, We lost, and I sit
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: and stared because that's what I want, and next year
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: I'm going to work even harder. And you have that picture,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: and then when you win, you post it and go,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: this was me one year ago sitting and staring.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: A lot of those sit and stare pictures, we never
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: see because they never actually win. It happens in football
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: a lot, too. On the field after a game, and
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: somebody gets a picture taken when they're on the field
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: still in their uniform after losing, and they're, Yeah, I
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: saw it, and I came back the next year.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: I used that as fuel.
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: I got this printed and put it in the room.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: It looks so sad. It's almost like an ex-girlfriend looking
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: at the new girlfriend, being like, ugh, celebrating.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I think it's a bit performative at this point. It's
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: just so they can do it and have record of
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: them doing it, so when they do win, they can
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: show that that motivated them.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: What would you do?
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Leave.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: Get out of Dodge.
• 14:41
  Speaker 7: Immediately.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: Same.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Retire from the sport.
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: I'd go way overboard immediately.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: I'd be like, Elvis has left the building. Like, I'm
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: not there anymore. No.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Josh Downs has reportedly requested a trade from the Colts,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: at least as of right now. And I haven't looked
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: in the last couple hours, but it is a request.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: It's not a completed deal. I would want out of
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: the Colts as well. If I wasn't completely in love
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: with the city of Indianapolis, I would want out of
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: the Colts as well because that is an organization that
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: is going to bottle themselves out, get as many picks
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: as they can, and start rebuilding. And so you're going
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: to lose for a while. I mean, you could say
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: that's what the Titans are doing, but they're already at
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: the bottom. Been there. They gave their best player away
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: for two first-round picks from the Bears. And again, we'll
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: talk to Scott Pioli in a few minutes, who is
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: a former general manager that has won championships. Usually it's
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: teams that thought they had a chance, and then they
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: trade their good players when they realize they don't. It's
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: usually not teams that are terrible and we're already building,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: trading off their good players. Because that means... Well, you
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: had these good players in the process of your build,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: and now you're going, I'm going to abort from building
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: with these good players and kind of start over again.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: But they got two first-round picks, but the Titans are dreadful.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: So what happened to them? Because they were like.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Well, Variable had them pretty good. But even then, they
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: were playing like... Have the ball. Ball control.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: Ugly, boring.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: But they were winning.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: But they were winning.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: I meant the Colts.
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: Oh.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: The Titans. Like the Colts. Like they were... Daniel Jones
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: was doing great last year.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Towards Achilles.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: Then he got hurt, and then that's kind of when
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: it all went downhill. But now he's healthy, and they
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: can't go back to that. I honestly thought they'd be
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: better this year.
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think most people did.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: So what's their problem?
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Their owner wears a headset and holds a clipboard and
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: wants to ask questions in the middle of the game.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: How are you supposed to coach whenever the owner's coming up?
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Even Jerry Jones isn't on the sideline.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: No, no, he stays up there now. He used to
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: be on the sideline.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but now he's not with a clipboard. The prove-it
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: games of the week. Here's what I have listed. Vikings-Lions.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Is that tonight? No. Monday, then?
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: Tonight's a bad one. Panthers and Packers.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: That's not horrible.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's not horrible.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: I think so.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: They're both teams winning records.
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: Better than the Cowboys.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Better than the Cowboys.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: But the Panthers just got rolled last week.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: One game.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: But they got rolled by one-armed Baker.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: I would say Nine-Fingered Baker, okay? Yeah, I have my
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Prove-It Games of the Week, Vikings and Lions. I still
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: think that video of them when the Packers jumped and
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: then they go into a full Charlie Brown dance, that
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: still pops up on my TikTok feed. I like it
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: every time.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: So funny.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Because it's multiple people on the team doing all the
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: dance moves. It's almost like they plan to do that
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: if it happened.
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: But that's a lot of planning by a lot of
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: different people. Like even the offensive linemen are doing hip moves.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: It's such a funny video. Ravens and Bills.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: Good one. Lamar's supposed to be back.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: He was supposed to be back last week until he wasn't.
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he is practicing today, but that's what he did
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: last week, too.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Chiefs, Broncos. Good one. And Monday's the Bears-Seahawks. Eddie's championship team.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: That's where it all starts right.
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: Here, boy.
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: No one's talking about them, though.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: Hey, don't be jumping on if they win this game,
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: all right? That's all I'm saying.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: That's four really good games.
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: You forgot about Patriots-Dolphins, but yeah.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: I didn't. That game should not be a game. I know.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: It's pretty bad. And hopefully it's not a game.
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: I hope so, too. That'd be nice.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Your boy Tom Brady's back in the news.
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: Oh, dating.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's having two Victoria's Secret supermodel fight over him.
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: Nice.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: Wasn't his ex-wife a Victoria's Secret model? Yeah. She was, right?
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I think they're supermodels, but I assume all supermodels end
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: up being Victoria's Secret models. But Tom Brady's love life
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: is causing a rift between two supermodel best friends.
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: I didn't see that. I saw he was dating one,
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: but I didn't know two were fighting over him.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: This guy.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Joan Smalls is calling out Candace Swample for stealing her man.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Thank God. Smalls connected with Brady at some point, and
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: then her friend, the other model, gave her a hard time.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Smalls has made several targeted messages on social media because
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: her friend then got with him.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: How old are these girls?
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: 19, 20?
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: No, I think they're... 30s.
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: Oh, there's a 30s? Yeah, the swan pool. I looked,
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: because that's the one I thought he was dating. She's 39,
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: I believe.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Dang, senior citizen or what?
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: No, I just didn't expect battles between almost 40-year-old women. Actually,
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: adult women.
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: That's because the last one, what was her name, the influencer?
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Alex Earl?
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Because she's like 23 or something. Yeah, yeah.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: Dang. That's your quarterback, dude.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: That's your dude.
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: Heck yeah, I got supermodels fighting over him. And his
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: ex-wife's a supermodel. They probably all know each other.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Ugh.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: What, that you're jealous?
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: It's just like, what's he doing?
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: He's living.
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: He is.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: He's living. College football this week. Here are your big games.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Arizona's at Texas Tech. It's interesting. I follow Arizona a
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: little bit because we went to their campus.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, same.
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Wisconsin at Iowa. Well, Iowa's not even ranked anymore, huh?
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: No.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I was a favorite wisconsin's number 25 uh florida at
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: georgia and florida 17 man that pendulum because they were
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: great then they were terrible and now they're good again
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: they're playing georgia uh georgia's 12 and a half point
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: favorite uh number 20 you just don't think these numbers
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: are they're in the right places but Ranked Northwestern at
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: unranked Oregon.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: I know. Crazy.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Number 20 Northwestern at Oregon. Oregon minus three and a half.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: Northwestern does look tough. Like a tough little football team.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the problem I have with them is that they're
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Northwestern and I can't shake that. Like every once in
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: a while it's fun and they're good, but I just,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: in my mind, they always lose. But yeah, they're fine.
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: What's crazy is Chip Kelly's there.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: Like his.
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: Ride as a coach has been just crazy.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Raiders, Ohio State. I mean, everywhere.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Everywhere.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: What does he do? He's not their head coach, right?
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Offense coordinator.
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Oregon's a three and a half point favorite.
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: I think I may jump on that one.
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: And take Northwestern?
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: No, Oregon.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: Oh, really?
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: Dylan Raiola.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: The difference is Oregon in my head only wins. See,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not going by actual facts. I'm just going by
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: my head. Unless Eddie bets it, then I'm out. I'm
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: going Northwestern.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: I'm going to go Northwestern. Okay, good.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: I guarantee Oregon wins. Utah at Cincinnati. Utah is ranked
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: number six.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: Dang.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati had a really good win last week against Texas Tech.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Miami at North Carolina. That's somewhat interesting. Miami's a 14-point favorite.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: The Miami-Notre Dame game's going to be coming up pretty soon, huh?
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: I'll be rooting for Miami.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: Just because you don't want to root for Notre Dame?
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame doesn't play anybody except they have basically two
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: and a half games. They lost the first one. Miami's
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: the second one. SMU, who I do not believe they've
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: played yet, is their other half. And they just get
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: in because they're Notre Dame.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: So you just believe that they're not as good as
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: their number says? They might be.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: They just schedule their own schedule. They don't have a conference.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: It just kind of sucks they can schedule their own
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: way in. So I want them to lose all their
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: big games.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: If you scheduled your own schedule?
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: But I'd be independent, not in a conference.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: Right, right. If you were able to do that.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Middle Tennessee every week.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: Like, would you just go play Sam Houston State and
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: everyone else and then, like, one big one, two big ones? Yeah.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: Or would you go, like, challenge yourself?
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: No, I would do what Notre Dame's doing.
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they have Miami next week and SMU a few
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: weeks after that.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so two of their three hardest games are coming up.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: I hope they lose. Although I do like their coach.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's cool.
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, fan of the show.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Well, he's been on anyway.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Ohio State at USC and then number 23 Missouri at Arkansas.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: What do you think the line is on that one, Eddie?
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: Missouri minus... Are you sure? Yes.
• 22:28
  Speaker 7: Okay, good.
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: Yes, I am.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: 13 and a half. Minus 10.
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: I think we could be competitive.
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: Are you still thinking about going?
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. Here's why. I think it's going
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: to rain. Oh, yeah. I think it's going to rain.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: I don't want to go and lose, and it'd be raining,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: and then if Caitlin goes and we take the baby...
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Baby's in a different room. It's just the whole....
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: But you guys aren't trick-or-treating or anything if you were
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: to stay here, right?
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: No, but I have a couple friends coming to town
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: this weekend. Brandon Walker's coming to town.
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: Oh, nice.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: And Titus, they're coming in different times, and so I
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: may see them. So that's a positive to staying home.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: So I don't know. I don't think I'm going to go. 80%
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: not going to go. You never know, though, with me.
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: You don't.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: So those are the games there. Football has a way
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: of turning one game into a full week of conversation,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: and DraftKings keeps you close to all of it. The
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: DraftKings Sports app is now live in all 50 states.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: That means from Texas to California to Florida, every fan
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: is in on the excitement. Follow the teams you love.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Keep up with the biggest games and experience the excitement
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: of football all week long. No matter which game you're watching,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: you're always connected with one app. As we talked about
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: a second ago, the best games of the week are.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: I do think for me that Florida-Georgia game, if I'm
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: pulling out my own personal interests from my own teams,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I'm very curious about that game because we have seen
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: the pendulum on Florida go, we don't expect much, first-year coach. Wow,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: they're really good. Okay, we were wrong. They're really bad. Okay,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: they're back to being good again. And they will be
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: fully tested against Georgia. So that one's super interesting to me.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: And then also the Ohio State-USC game. And look, I'm
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: not a Big Ten guy, but USC, they probably need
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: to win a lot in the next couple years.
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Or those are going to change coaches. Yep. It's time.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: And Ohio State's got a backup quarterback.
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: And it's at home.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah. At USC.
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: At USC.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: That's all the games already sold out.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: Is it really? Yeah.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: And that's weird because remember at the beginning when there
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: was like nine, there were nine people there at the game.
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Week one or week zero, whatever that was.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: Do they play at the Coliseum?
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: That's cool.

• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Joining us now is longtime NFL executive, three-time Super Bowl champion,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Scott Pioli. About once a year, it's one of my
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: favorite things to do is talk with Scott once everything
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: starts happening. I never want to waste my time with Scott,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: so we wait till right when it's almost trade deadline time. Scott,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: so happy that you're back. I... I want to first
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: talk to you about the Colts and what's happening with
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: the Colts because either they're trading people or people are
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: asking for trades or we're waiting on them to trade people.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: If you're in that Colts locker room and you've been
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: in locker rooms probably similarly, like what is the vibe?
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure the vibe right now in the locker
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: room is uncomfortable just because, again, there's so many different
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: perspectives that are looking at this football team, right? The
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: players are looking from one perspective. The coaches are looking
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: from another perspective. The front office is looking at their perspective.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: And honestly, the owner is looking at their perspective. So
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: I'm sure there's a lot of discomfort right now for
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: a lot of reasons, Bobby. But, you know, this is
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: the kind of stuff that happens to at least two
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: to three to four locker rooms every single season this
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: time of year.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: If you're a guy like Jonathan Taylor, really still one
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: of the premier backs in the NFL. and his name
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: has been mentioned a few times they're even like hypothetically
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: matching him with teams right now but he hasn't been
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: a guy that's been traded yet is there ever a
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: time when you just don't want to be traded even
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: if you're on a bad team.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Well it's just a fascinating question because uh you know
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: bobby i go back to my time at the kansas
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: city chiefs when i first got to the chiefs and
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: you know we were trading trying to improve the team
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: and then we traded i made a trade for uh
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: Mike Rabel and Matt Castle traded a second round pick
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: to Belichick at the Patriots. I had just left the Patriots.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: And I had always thought about exclusively my perspective, the
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: team's perspective, the owner's perspective. And you're asking about the
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: player's perspective. And this is a lesson that I learned
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: at Kansas City. Mike Rabel was really pissed off at
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: me when we made that trade. And I couldn't understand
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: it because I knew that his contract, he had one
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: year left on his contract. It wasn't at a high number.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: And we were not only going to trade for him,
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: but we were going to increase his salary and give
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: him an extra year of extension. And the interesting thing
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: was when Mike got out there, he let me know,
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: you know, we know how transparent Mike is. And he
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: told me how pissed off he was. And he said
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: to me, you know, I've been in this league. I
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: think at the time he had been in the league
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: 10 years. You know, we spent eight years together. I
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: did everything that you asked me to do. We're friends.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: You know, you're friends with my family. I'm friends with
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: your family. You would think when my opportunity came to
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: change teams, that I could make that choice. But you're
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: making me come to Kansas City. Maybe I would have
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: picked it. Maybe I wouldn't have. But at least I
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: think I would have earned the right to go to
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: a place where I wanted to go. And I tell you, Bobby,
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: it was insight into, you know, we think we know
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: what players think. We think we know what they feel.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: And in this case with Jonathan Taylor specifically, again, I
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: apologize for that long winded story. I think only Jonathan
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: knows what he wants, whether he wants to be traded,
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: whether he wants to be let go, whether he wants
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: to stay there. And at different times, different emotions affect
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: the players differently. But I know that Mike was upset
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: for a good couple of months, and then he settled
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: in and became a captain. We won the division two
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: years later, and he retired as a chief. And again,
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: so I think it's really complicated when we try to
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: get into the minds and the mindset of the players.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Well, it's interesting about that story. Matt Castle is one
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: of my dear friends, and we worked together for the
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: NFL on a different project. I love it. He's the
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: greatest human.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: He's incredible, Bobby, isn't he?
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: But he will tell me stories from places that I
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: have never thought of as a non-player where he goes,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: we're players who have kids in school. And that is
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: affecting us as much as anything else is. And if
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: we have to leave, our kids having to go make
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: new friends affects our life as a player. And I
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: never really thought about that as like just a normie.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. And, and, and, you know, he and Jen are
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: married and have two kids at this point in time.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: And he's an Ohio guy. Maybe he wanted to go
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: play for the Browns at that point in time. You know,
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: maybe I saved him from himself on that one. But
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: you're right. You know, Matt gives that gives that insight.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: And it goes for everybody that's involved in this.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: People see the players, the coaches, the front office as
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: we are these public figures in our sport, which, you know,
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: it matters, but it also doesn't matter. But we've got
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: these other lives and we do have. families that we
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: love and love us. And it includes spouses, it includes children,
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: it includes parents, friends. And a lot of things get
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: impacted when that happens. This isn't just fantasy football or
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: trading cards where we're just giving things away. But watching
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: what's happening at the Colts is really quite fascinating. There's
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: a lot more to talk about with that whole circumstance
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: of what's going on, Bobby.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: I want to go to the Eagles for a second
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: and From now, my recent education, and obviously the players
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: want to win. They're on the field. They want to play.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: They want to show their best because who knows where
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: they're going to be next year. Obviously, the coaches feel
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: the same. With the players they're given, they want to
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: win because they have a career to... hopefully succeed in
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: and thrive and they have game tape. But as somebody
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: who has worked in the front office, do these managers
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: ever hamstring purposefully the teams so maybe they have a
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: less chance of winning so they get a better, a
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: higher draft pick?
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: Not anyone that I ever worked with. You know, as
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: a general manager or any person, if you're involved with
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: a team, And you do... Our job is to win
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: football games. Whether you're a head coach, whether you're general manager,
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: front office, that is our job. And even considering losing
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: games in order to do something in the future, A,
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: it's one of the most selfish things that you could
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: ever think about for so many reasons because... there's so many,
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: we tell the players, we tell everybody in the organization,
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: everything that we do is to be centered around winning
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: football games. And if you compromise that mindset, if you
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: compromise the processes that are involved in trying to do
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: anything but win, honestly, people that think that way need
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: to be in a different game, in a different sport.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: Because The selfishness involved when you're thinking about getting a
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: higher draft pick, and you can call it business, but
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: the number of lives, we were just talking about this, Bobby, right?
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: The number of lives that are going to be impacted
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: if you intentionally find ways to lose games, it's just, again,
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: do something else. I've never worked with people like that.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: I've never worked around people like that. I've heard rumors.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: I've heard circumstances and situations, but it's a bad idea.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: When we talk about quarterbacks, it's a must-have. Now, a
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: guy like Cam Ward here in Tennessee, how many years
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: do you give him before you redraft another quarterback? And
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be Cam specifically, but here's a guy,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: and the Titans are going to be bad again this year,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: and they just made a big trade for a couple
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: more picks in the last five minutes. But how long
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: do you give a quarterback before you go and you
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: draft again?
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a couple things in that, Bobby. I'm a believer,
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: and I remember this was a thing that Al Davis
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: did and Ron Wolf did and Parcells. I learned from
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: those folks and their beliefs that draft a quarterback every year.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: If you're in a situation, draft a quarterback, whether it's
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: in the first round, second round, fifth round, seventh round,
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: draft a quarterback that you can develop in your system
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: because you will, you never know what you're going to find.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: We talked about Matt Castle. There's a seventh round pick
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: that ended up playing in the league for what, 14
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: years or maybe even more. You know, Brady, we drafted
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: in the sixth. So, I believe in drafting quarterbacks every year. Now,
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: the development is a completely different thing. You know, and
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: one of the toughest parts right now, Bobby, is the
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: college game and not even getting into the NIL part
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: and and all that stuff. But the college game is
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: so different right now. And, you know, as this was
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: even happening several years ago, the college game and the
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: way games are called and the way games are played
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: in certain ways are very different. It's still football, but
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: there's certain ways it's different. I've seen quarterbacks that come
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: into the league now and they've never, ever taken a
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: snap from under center. They don't know how to take
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: a snap under center. They've only been in shotgun. They've
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: only been in spread. And again, I understand that some
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: of the pro game is played that way, certainly, but
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: there are times when you need to go under center
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: and you want the quarterback under center. Another thing is
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: I've seen quarterbacks, quite honestly, who have never, ever run
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: a huddle before, Bobby. That sounds crazy. But if you
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: watch some of these college games, Everyone, all 11 players
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: on the field, including the quarterback, are looking to the
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: sidelines for either signals or those giant boards that people
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: hold up with pictures and numbers and colors. And they
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: don't even know how to get players in a huddle
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: and out of a huddle and get lined up and
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: then see the field. So there's this whole operational thing
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: that comes on before the ball's even snapped that quarterbacks
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: aren't being taught to do. And I listened to Brady
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: and I've had conversations with Brady. And he talks about
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: the development of the quarterbacks. And when he talks to
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: young quarterbacks, when I talk to young quarterbacks, when a
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: lot of NFL people talk to quarterbacks coming out of college,
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: they've not been taught in depth what coverages are and
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: how to look for coverage and how to look at
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: fronts and all the things that change. So I know
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: this is a long winded. answer to your question, but
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: you've got to give these guys time. And you've got
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: to understand that some of them have also been in
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: situations where they've transferred three times. So even if they
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: transfer three times, so they're with different coaches, or if
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: they stay at one school, the way that coordinators and
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: coaches are fired or leave jobs and go other places,
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: player development at the quarterback position is no longer what
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: it used to be. And I think you have to
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: readjust the model in terms of how you're going to
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: do things and how you're going to view things and
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: evaluate your quarterback.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Do you think the Eagles are evaluating Tanner McKee? What
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: would they be doing in that process now?
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: Well, I think seeing a player in... Yes, I think
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: you're always evaluating players, right? And I don't say that
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: just as a personnel guy. You're always evaluating players. And
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: when you see a player get reps in... preseason, it's
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: not the same as the reps in regular season. The
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: speed of the game is different. The anxiety of the game,
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: the urgency, the duress, all that stuff is very different.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: You're going against bigger, faster, stronger players. The game is
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: much quicker. You have to think quickly. So I think, yes,
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: they're evaluating. But again, the good teams are constantly evaluating
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: all their players, including the it's not just the quarterback.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: It's all players. You have to see if a player
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: is rising or falling. Because again, you've only got 53
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: spots and you have to think about the now and
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: the future, Bobby.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: So we have massive Patriots fans here and massive Cowboys
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: fans here. So let's start with the Patriots first. What
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: a run last year. Is their ceiling about the same
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: or was that schedule a lot easier last year and
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a little more difficult this year
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: for them?
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: Well, I think a lot of things were different last year.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, it was the timing that they got to
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: play certain teams when they were at their strongest or
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: when they were their weakest. I think they are playing
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: different teams this year. There was a lot of different energy.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: And I know people want to run to the quarterback
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: and run to Drake May. And I mean, Bobby, it
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: was crazy when I was watching and listening because we
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: still live in Massachusetts. You know, listening to all of
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: what was being said about Drake May, not only locally, but,
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: you know, nationally. And here's the thing with quarterbacks. You know,
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: Drake was there. He had a new offensive coordinator. They're
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: doing a lot of different things. And what happens is
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: defenses don't always know how to prepare for the bag
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: of tricks and the system that a quarterback's going to
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: be running, right? That's why sometimes we always talk about
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: the backup quarterback being the most popular quarterback on every team,
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: because when they come in, defenses don't know exactly what
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: the play calls are going to be. Defenders don't know
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: exactly what's going to be run. So last year, I
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: think that the Patriots had some of that as well.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: This year, When things started, I think that there was
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: a period of time where this is what defensive coordinators
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: and defensive players and coaches spend their entire offseason doing.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: They find the players that are the best players and
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: the quarterbacks and other teams, and they try to find
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: their kryptonite. And they attack those players early on. So
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: Drake May was not playing his best football, but there
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: was also this other element, what other teams were doing, right?
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: That's what impacts how well a player is playing too.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: But I think Josh McDaniels is a very, very smart coordinator.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: He learned under some incredible people. I mean, Charlie Weiss
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: and Ernie Adams and Bill Belichick. And he learned on
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: some really, really good football coaches. And he knows that
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: he has to do things that are that his quarterback
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: can do. And I think he learned that last year.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: This year, as things change. He had to learn and
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: adjust as to what Drake can do and what some
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: of Drake's limitations are and or some weaknesses in some
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: things he was doing. So I think watching the Patriots
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: this year, this is an evolution. And this is what
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: great quarterbacks do, right? They evolve over time. They develop
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: over time. Drake May is still a young guy. He
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: is a young quarterback who's still developing. And I think
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: the Patriots are going to be fine. And I think
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: Mike Rabel is a heck of a football coach. So
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: the Patriots are going to be in a good place.
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: Things are different this year. But, you know, last year
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: was was a great season. Not all seasons are the
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: same for a lot of reasons.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: Do the Cowboys now because, man, their offense looks great
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: at times. Do they even have 11 men on defense?
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: Why are we talking about the Cowboys? We're talking about
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: the Cowboys because there's Cowboys fans in Nashville?
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: Well, my co-host here is a massive Cowboys fan. And
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: so I don't know.
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: My apologies.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: They got to do something on the defensive side of
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: the ball, right? Do you expect them to make any
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: sort of move, though?
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: You know, here's the thing is I don't know if
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: I expect them, but here's what I do know is
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: I know Jerry Jones is always open for business. And
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: he's always looking to improve his football team. He has
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: ideas and is thinking about things that others aren't thinking about.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: But then he's also thinking about some of the suggestions
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: he hears out.
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: In the universe. So I don't know.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: To expect that you know what Jerry Jones is going
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: to do, and I say this with the greatest respect,
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: I don't think any of us know. Could they do
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: something to improve their football team? I'm sure they can.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: Do I think he's looking into it? I sure do.
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: I think that Jerry also has a lot of people,
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: not only within the organization that he relies on for information,
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: but there's people outside the organization that have their hands
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: on the pulse or their fingers on the pulse of
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: a lot of different players and circumstances and situations, and
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: he pays attention to that. I could see them doing something.
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: I could also see them... Here's the funny thing about trades. Bobby,
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: I can't tell you how many times... over the course
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: of my NFL years, that we were involved in trade
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: discussions and the world never knew about it. And there's
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: a lot of teams that are talking right now and
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: we just don't know about it. The time that you
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: usually find out, that the world finds out about it,
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: is when an agent finds out and they've got to
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: tell their friends in the media what's going on.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: One last thing. We just saw Jeffrey Simmons went to
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: the Bears for a couple first-round picks yesterday. Now, we
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: live here where the Titans are, and man, they've just
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: been bad. I mean, Vrabel had them to a pretty,
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: about as high as he can have the Titans, he
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: had the Titans for a bit of a span there.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: But it's hopeless. It feels hopeless here. It's hard to
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: create new Titans fans because there's no winning happening. How
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: do you feel about, it was Jeffrey Simmons to the
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: Bears for two first round picks. Not sure because it
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: just happened. It's unfair to throw this on you. But
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: how do you feel about when you hear that?
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, wow, you're right. It's right on me.
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: But here's what I think. The Bears have a window
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: that's very open right now, meaning they are right on
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: the cusp. This makes sense because he is a dominant
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: force and a dominant player that's really going to help them.
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: I'm also thinking about the relationship between Ryan Poles, the
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: GM of the Bears, and Mike Borgonzi, the GM of
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: the Tennessee Titans, who I have a ton of respect for.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: Interesting side note, I hired both Poles and Borgonzi in
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: 2009 as entry-level guys at the Kansas City Chiefs. They
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: were both working in the Boston College recruiting department. So
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: they have a long-standing relationship and knowledge of one another.
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: When I think of the Titans and Mike Borgonzi in
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: that situation, I think it makes sense. I think it
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: makes sense because I think here's what's clear about the
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: Tennessee Titans. They need a lot of things fixed. And
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: by accumulating currency, meaning draft picks, I think that gives
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: them hope for the future. You're right. The Titans haven't
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: been the same since Mike Rabel left. There's been a
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: lot of turnover. There's been a lot of things. But
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: I'll say this, not just because Mike Borgonzi is a friend.
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: It's just because I know how smart Mike is. I
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: know how hardworking he is. I know how driven he is.
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: I know how good he is. So if I'm a
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: Tennessee Titan fan, I believe in Mike Borgonzi, and I
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: would remain encouraged as a Titans fan. You hate to
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: see good players traded, but in that role of general manager,
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: you not only have to be thinking about the now,
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: you have to be thinking about the future, right? You're
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: not trying to put your coach and team and players
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: in a situation where they're going to fail. That's not
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: what you're trying to do when you do this. But
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: you also have to be smart from a business standpoint,
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: to accumulate the right currency, manage your salary cap, and
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: have good football players. Again, I believe in Mike.
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: I know Mike.
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: I trust Mike. I think Borgonzi is going to do
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: the right thing. And, hey, good for the Bears and
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: good for Poles, man, because that's a heck of an acquisition.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: Does it help when the two GMs know each other?
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: Does it make a deal go through faster?
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: Oh. So here's what I think it does, Bobby. I
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: think what it does is there's trust involved here because
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: sometimes if you're trading a player, I know people who
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: have tried to trade players who maybe have issues, have circumstances,
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: have injuries that. I don't want to say people lie,
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: but they withhold some information. And I think when you
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: have a friend that you're doing business with in the league,
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: you know, I think about all the people that I
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: knew and I did good business with. you know, you
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: trust that what's being done is being done honestly and truthfully.
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: Here's the other thing is, you know, we've seen these situations.
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: There was a high profile situation where a team traded
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: a player and they went to the team and didn't
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: pass the physical. And, you know, when that happens and
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: the trade is out there, A lot of damage can
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: be done to your locker room and your team if
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: you have to take a player back and the team
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: has a GM and a front office that skunks you
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: on the physical and then you have to take that
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: player back. You know, again, so having a relationship and
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: a friendship can certainly help things from a trade standpoint
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: or just doing business on a lot of levels.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: Well, Scott, when you come on this show or if
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: I'm filling in for Rich Eisen or whatever the case is,
• 45:29

• 45:31
  Speaker 1: want everyone to take advantage of it. So thank you
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: for coming on. And I always love talking to you.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: I feel like If I'm ever in Boston, I may
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: just hit you up and go, hey, you want to
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: have some food so I can ask you like some
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: real questions?
• 45:41
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: Hey, I'm a fat guy.
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: I love Bobby.
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: Bobby, I tell you, this once a year thing, I
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: told Erica, you know, to Erica Levine, I'll do more

• 48:08
  Speaker 4: Give me Mexico, baby. Have we done Canada? Have we
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: played in.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: Why would you say that about Canada in that weird accent?
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: I don't know. Have we played in Canada? Like a
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: little exhibition game in Toronto?
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: Are you going with Canada?
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: No, you're trying to lead me there. No, I'm not.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: You literally said it.
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: Have we played Australia? Australia.
• 48:38
  Speaker 7: Six.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: There are three more.
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: Oh, three more? Okay, we played in Canada. Back in
• 48:43
  Speaker 4: the day.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: Is that your answer?
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, back in the day.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: Seven.
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 48:46
  Speaker 6: Nice, dude.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: There are two more. One of them you said and
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: then you never went back to.
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: I said it?
• 48:56
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: But did you correct me by saying United Kingdom?
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: No.
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: You said England.
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: Got it.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: And that UK counts as that.
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: I got it.
• 49:09
  Speaker 5: Morocco.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: No, I'm kidding.
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: Kenya. Give me Ireland.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: Correct. Eight.
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 49:16
  Speaker 6: Come on.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: There's one you have not... mentioned.
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: Could it be Kenya? Have they played in, like, South Africa?
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: Let me think. Let me think. Let me think. Let
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: me think. Ooh, Russia. That'd be crazy, dude. NFL game
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: in Russia. In Moscow. I'm out of countries, dude.
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: I kind of forget which one you haven't said, but
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: I think the one you haven't said is a European country.
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: Oh!
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: I said Germany, right?
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 49:50
  Speaker 4: I said Germany, and I said England, and I said Ireland,
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: and then they've also played in... What else is over there? Scotland. No.
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: Dang it!
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: That's UK. I believe Scotland's part of the UK.
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: Dang, okay.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: So is Ireland, I thought. No, Ireland's not part of
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: the UK.
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: It's not?
• 50:09
  Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: Okay. I'm pretty sure Scotland's UK, right?
• 50:14
  Speaker 7: Yes, it is.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: Like Wales, Scotland.
• 50:16
  Speaker 5: Oh, really?
• 50:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: All that stuff?
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: England.
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: Okay, so I need one more left. And you said
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: it's European.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: Because there's two. I don't remember you saying either one
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: of these, but one you did. But they're both in Europe.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: So there's one that you haven't said.
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: Czechoslovakia. Switzerland. Hungary. Maybe they played in Hungary. Oh, oh,
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: did they play in, not Germany, but what's the one
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: you like where you had the best hot dog there, dude?
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's Germany.
• 50:47
  Speaker 5: No.
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: Yes. No, the other one.
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: No, that's Germany.
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: They played in Austria.
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: But I had the hot dog in Germany.
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: Going to Austria.
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: But you love Austria.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: Austria, yeah.
• 50:56
  Speaker 4: Wonderful?
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty great.
• 50:58
  Speaker 4: And what was so good about the hot dog in Germany?
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: It was in Germany. Yeah, what was so good about that?
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: They're good at hot dogs in Germany. They're not called
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: hot dogs, they're called brats.
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: Got it.
• 51:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah, no.
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: Are they called Brats?
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: No, you're not right.
• 51:10
  Speaker 7: It's not Austria.
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's not Austria.
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: Kevin, you know the one we haven't said?
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: I do.
• 51:13
  Speaker 7: Go ahead.
• 51:14
  Speaker 6: You want me to say it?
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 51:16
  Speaker 6: Madrid.
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: Spain.
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, España, the motherland. How did I not get that? Wow,
• 51:23
  Speaker 4: and that was this year too, right? Didn't they play
• 51:25
  Speaker 4: in Spain this year?
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: I think the motherland.
• 51:26
  Speaker 6: I think last year.
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: That's where my family's from. I'm a Garcias. The Garcias
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: came from Spain.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: I think you just say stuff sometimes.
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: No, man, really.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: I think your Spain is Kevin's balls.
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: Are you opposing?
• 51:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: No, no, no. My dad, Garcia, that side of the family,
• 51:42
  Speaker 4: they're Spaniards. Yes. And my mom's side, they are not Spaniards.
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: What are they? They're native Mexicans.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: Got it. Yeah.
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: Like Aztecs. Why don't you believe me? I don't know, man.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: I just feel like sometimes you just say stuff.
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: No, like Sergio Garcia. You know Sergio Garcia, the golfer?
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: He's from Spain.
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: He's from Spain.
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with that.
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: He's a Garcia.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: Are you sure you just didn't see that and say Spain?
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: No, it's all in my 23andMe.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: Do your kids have fun when they play sports?
• 52:13
  Speaker 5: Yes. Yes.
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: And I think that's a problem.
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's a bad thing.
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's a bad thing. Because when I
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: watch these athletes on TV, LeBron, does LeBron look like
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: he's having fun playing sports? No, he doesn't. Michael Jordan
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: didn't look like he was having fun playing. They were
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: so serious. When they scored, like, someone scores a touchdown, whatever.
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: It's like, yeah! They're not smiling. My kids are smiling
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: nonstop when they're playing sports.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: Isn't that what you want?
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: I do, but I mean, they're not going to become
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: the greatest if they're not intense about it.
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: I would argue, if you allow.
• 52:49
  Speaker 5: Go ahead.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: That you want your kid to have fun playing sports
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: because generally you get better at things you love doing.
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: And there's probably an age and a maturity level where
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: focus is imperative to success. And I think they're learning
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: focus right now as they're also learning to play the sport.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: If they weren't having fun, I don't think they would
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: ever invest the emotional energy into getting better at it.
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: I think you want them to love it so much
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: that it's all they can think about. that they are
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: so having fun doing it that they then want to
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: dedicate themselves to it.
• 53:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 53:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: I want them off the field, off the court being like, yeah,
• 53:28
  Speaker 4: that's so awesome. I'm having fun doing it. But when
• 53:30
  Speaker 4: you're on the court, stop smiling. I don't know.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: I don't hate it.
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: All three of them are smiling.
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: Do they smile when they lose?
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: No.
• 53:37
  Speaker 5: No, no.
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: They get upset when they lose. But like if, for example,
• 53:41
  Speaker 4: playing basketball. One drained a three the other day. And
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: what did he do? Smiled real big. He waved at us.
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: I'm like, get back, play defense. What are you doing?
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: Another kid, a really good kid on their team. He
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: drained a three. What did he do? Nothing. Ran back,
• 53:55
  Speaker 4: got ready for defense. And I was like, that's what
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: he needs to do. You need to be serious out there.
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: And then parents come up to me like, I love
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: your son. All he does is smile. I'm like, gosh,
• 54:04
  Speaker 4: I hate that. Stop smiling when you're playing sports, dude.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: If they were miserable, they would never be I think
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: I would rather have that than the other way.
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: I have to think about it because I see these
• 54:17
  Speaker 4: really good players, man, and maybe internally they're having fun,
• 54:20
  Speaker 4: but externally they're not celebrating.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: And they'll get to that point.
• 54:23
  Speaker 4: My one son does the gritty every time he scores.
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: I'm like, dude, get back.
• 54:27
  Speaker 6: What are you doing?
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: How old?
• 54:29
  Speaker 4: He's a little one, seven.
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: Right, that's fine. If he's 12, that's a problem.
• 54:34
  Speaker 6: If he's in high school doing it, yes.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: If he's seven, that's okay.
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: Got it.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: That's fine. Yeah, I think it's great.
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: Kevin said he saw someone driving a Tesla, except they
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: were asleep while it was driving them here in town.
• 54:45
  Speaker 4: No way.
• 54:46
  Speaker 6: At the wheel. Yeah, I'm driving to work, and I'm
• 54:48
  Speaker 6: just driving. I look over, and it looks like somebody's
• 54:50
  Speaker 6: leaned back.
• 54:51
  Speaker 4: I'm like, what the heck? Where's the driver?
• 54:52
  Speaker 6: He is legit sleeping as a Tesla is driving him.
• 54:56
  Speaker 6: And I know that's normal. Teslas can take you to
• 54:59
  Speaker 6: a destination.
• 55:00
  Speaker 4: But here?
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: I'd never seen that.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that here that could happen. I know
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: that it's clear for those Waymos to do that.
• 55:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: I didn't know just a normal driving human bought Tesla,
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: privately bought Tesla, was able to drive you while you
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: were asleep.
• 55:15
  Speaker 6: I only know that because a neighbor of mine like
• 55:17
  Speaker 6: six months ago told me it drove him from here
• 55:19
  Speaker 6: to Knoxville.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: And that I know because I've seen people with the
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: driver assist on where they don't have to do anything.
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: However, I thought it would like make sure you're awake.
• 55:31
  Speaker 6: I'm... 90% sure this guy was sleeping.
• 55:34
  Speaker 4: Did you honk at him like, hey, wake up?
• 55:36
  Speaker 6: No, because I don't want to scare him and then
• 55:37
  Speaker 6: cause a crash. That wouldn't be good.
• 55:40
  Speaker 4: Good point.
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: I've still not been in a Waymo.
• 55:42
  Speaker 6: Double check. I haven't been on here, only in San Francisco.
• 55:45
  Speaker 4: That counts, though.
• 55:46
  Speaker 6: Okay, then yeah.
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: What were the differences?
• 55:48
  Speaker 6: I was just saying, so yeah, I've been in one.
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: You?
• 55:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I went with Kevin. Oh, that's right. I think
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: it was Brandon, you too. That's three. So you're the
• 55:55
  Speaker 4: only one.
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: I haven't, but I had a Tesla that was self-driving,
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: so I've got a little bit of that. It's not
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: the full Waymo, but when I had the Tesla... The
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: rules were a little different. It would drive you, but
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: you had to keep your hands close to the wheel.
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: And every little bit, I'd go by and be like,
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: touch the wheel. But it would drive me, but way
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: different than if you're in the back seat, for sure.
• 56:13
  Speaker 4: Dude, would you be able to sleep in the back
• 56:15
  Speaker 4: of one of these things?
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: Depends how tired I was.
• 56:18
  Speaker 4: Like, I can't sleep when my wife's driving.
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: Probably safer in a Waymo. And no offense to your wife.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying in general.
• 56:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, women.
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: No, not women either. No, no, no. I'm talking about
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: humans versus no.
• 56:30
  Speaker 4: That's not what I meant.
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: Not about your wife. Not about women. None of that.
• 56:35
  Speaker 6: Have you guys seen the gold ones? Teslas around yet?
• 56:37
  Speaker 6: Those are the ones that like make money for you,
• 56:39
  Speaker 6: work for you. Basically a Waymo where they pick people
• 56:44
  Speaker 6: up and you buy a gold Tesla from what I understand.
• 56:46
  Speaker 6: I haven't done a whole lot of digging on it.
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: And then Wait, we can buy a gold Tesla and
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: just send it out to work?
• 56:51
  Speaker 6: It's like a certain type of Tesla, yeah, that Elon
• 56:54
  Speaker 6: created where it works for you. Like it goes and
• 56:56
  Speaker 6: picks people up. So you basically buy this car and have.
• 56:59
  Speaker 4: It work for you. So it's like owning your own Waymo?
• 57:03
  Speaker 6: Pretty much, yeah.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: If that's true, you can count me into having one
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: later this afternoon.
• 57:07
  Speaker 4: Maybe I'm totally wrong. And then, hey, can you put
• 57:10
  Speaker 4: advertisements on it?
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: Let me ask here. Hey, is there a thing in
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: Nashville or in general America— Where you buy a gold
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: Tesla and then it just goes and does the work
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: for you?
• 57:21
  Speaker 4: Kevin, this better be real. Let me take a look.
• 57:29
  Speaker 5: Checking whether that matches Tesla's robo taxi service and whether
• 57:33
  Speaker 5: it's available in Nashville. That sounds like Tesla's gold two-seat
• 57:40
  Speaker 5: cyber cab. That's meant to be a driverless taxi that
• 57:44
  Speaker 5: earns fares while you're not using it. but it's not
• 57:46
  Speaker 5: a buy one and start earning set up yet. And
• 57:49
  Speaker 5: not in Nashville right now.
• 57:53
  Speaker 6: I've seen two.
• 57:55
  Speaker 4: You've seen two in town?
• 57:56
  Speaker 6: I've seen two around Nashville, yes.
• 57:57
  Speaker 4: But could they be getting them ready for Nashville and
• 58:00
  Speaker 4: by doing trial runs?
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're getting them ready for that loop they're building.
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, really?
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm watching it and there's a nurse who's asleep
• 58:08
  Speaker 3: right there.
• 58:10
  Speaker 4: She's had a rough... She's just asleep. A rough shift.
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: In the front seat. Is that their advertisement?
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: Uh... Okay.
• 58:17
  Speaker 4: I was going to go buy one.
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: I can't. For sure.
• 58:19
  Speaker 4: He's getting on the waiting list right now.
• 58:21
  Speaker 6: It says in 2027 for private buyers.
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: Say how much it costs.
• 58:24
  Speaker 4: $ 30, 000.
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: What? That's it?
• 58:26
  Speaker 4: That's it at all?
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: Dang, you got 30G laying around?
• 58:28
  Speaker 4: I can buy it in 2027.
• 58:29
  Speaker 6: Hey, Eddie, want to go in?
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: Half and half? Like the cow?
• 58:33
  Speaker 4: We've done a cow. Let's do a Tesla.
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: You can make 20 to 30 cents per mile. How's
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: the cow coming?
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: February.
• 58:40
  Speaker 6: I think April.
• 58:41
  Speaker 4: Oh, dang.
• 58:42
  Speaker 6: Can you say April last year?
• 58:43
  Speaker 5: Oh, okay.
• 58:43
  Speaker 4: No, it's February.
• 58:44
  Speaker 5: February.
• 58:45
  Speaker 4: I've never said April. Trouble. Oh, okay. Now I can
• 58:48
  Speaker 4: text the guy and make sure, but yeah.
• 58:50
  Speaker 6: Hey, February sounds better to me because that's sooner.
• 58:53
  Speaker 4: I still don't have a freezer, though.
• 58:54
  Speaker 6: It's your contact, not mine.
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta get a freezer, dude.
• 58:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I gotta get a freezer, too. We can go
• 58:58
  Speaker 6: half on a freezer, too.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: You want to go half on everything?
• 59:01
  Speaker 4: How much room is in the freezers here?
• 59:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we can create everything.
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: Eddie, I would let you buy out of our skins team.
• 59:07
  Speaker 5: Ooh.
• 59:09
  Speaker 4: Buy out? At what price?
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: Because we're down about $ 2, 000 right now.
• 59:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 59:14
  Speaker 4: Okay. Kevin, don't you feel great?
• 59:17
  Speaker 6: No, because I don't want you guys to lose money either.
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: I would buy out because I don't feel like we're
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: going to lose that much money. We might. We might.
• 59:24
  Speaker 4: Wait, say that again? You wouldn't buy out?
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: No, I would. So right now you own 20% of
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: the team.
• 59:29
  Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
• 59:30
  Speaker 4: So this is going to be tough. How much do
• 59:32
  Speaker 4: we owe?
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, so 10% of $ 2, 000. Is $ 20.
• 59:35
  Speaker 4: Is $ 200.
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: So you owe $ 400 right now.
• 59:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll wait it out.
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: But it could go up.
• 59:41
  Speaker 4: I think we're going to do better.
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: For $ 600, I'll let you buy out and be done
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: with it. $ 600? Well, it's only $ 200 more. You could
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: lose a lot more.
• 59:48
  Speaker 4: I'm riding, baby. Hey, I want to ride with you
• 59:50
  Speaker 4: guys all the way.
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, just making sure.
• 59:51
  Speaker 4: All the way.
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: Just making sure. I would let you buy out, though,
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: if you wanted to. It's been a struggle because the
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: Browns and the Steelers. Well, the Cowboys, too.
• 59:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 59:58
  Speaker 4: But I feel like— And the Ravens' injury. I mean,
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 4: that's been tough.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: But they still have a winning record, so they've got wins.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 6: What if Eddie bought out and then I bought in?
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 4: You want to trade? I just feel like there's— You
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 4: want to go half on it, and then you go
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 4: in and I go out?
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: I feel like there's good positive room here that if
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: you wanted to buy out, I would let you, and
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: then I'll just own the other 20% of your team.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 4: Nah, I want to ride with you guys. Okay.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: It could get worse, though.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm prepared for that.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: It's only 20% this year, though, too, which is different
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: than the 33 you had last year.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 4: Dude, if it goes worse, I will never get this Tesla.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 7: Or 25%.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: The Tesla's pretty, that's pretty sick. I know. I think
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: everybody's going to be trying.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 7: To buy on there.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: You're not going to be able to get any.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 4: That's who you know, right?
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know Elon.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm sure we know someone who knows someone. Who's we?
• 1:00:40
