0:05
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Jaguars Broadcast Weekend Review. I'm JP Shadwick.
0:09
Speaker 1: And then this new podcast, we'll take a weekly look
0:12
Speaker 1: at some of the highlights from Jaguars broadcasting and digital
0:15
Speaker 1: shows each week in case you missed something from earlier.
0:19
Speaker 1: How about it going into the weekend? Why not? First
0:21
Speaker 1: of all, I hope everybody's doing well as coronavirus COVID
0:24
Speaker 1: nineteen has changed our day to day lives. I'm among
0:28
Speaker 1: those working at home, as is our entire office. Jaguars
0:31
Speaker 1: Drive Time on Tuesdays with Ashlon Sullivan, Brian Sexton and
0:34
Speaker 1: John Osier is now recorded over Skype and then put
0:38
Speaker 1: on the website Jaguars Happy. Our radio on Thursday is
0:42
Speaker 1: done from my house in my side ports room. This
0:46
Speaker 1: is now my office and the broadcast equipment that's left
0:48
Speaker 1: from Touchdown Radio Network college football coverage has been turned
0:53
Speaker 1: back on and it's used to broadcast the show to
0:55
Speaker 1: Tintin XL. And then this past week we added a
0:58
Speaker 1: video element with a great of Jaguars I t and
1:01
Speaker 1: Broadcast Guru, so you can look at my bald head
1:04
Speaker 1: on your screen, just what you've always wanted. We've also
1:07
Speaker 1: been fortunate to record Skype conversations with new free agent
1:11
Speaker 1: acquisitions and some special guests, and you'll hear more of
1:14
Speaker 1: those coming up in the weeks ahead, and you'll hear
1:17
Speaker 1: some of the highlights of the ones we've already done
1:19
Speaker 1: coming up in just a few minutes on this podcast.
1:22
Speaker 1: As of today, Friday March, the league has said that
1:25
Speaker 1: team facilities are to be closed through April eight, and
1:29
Speaker 1: we'll see if that gets pushed back at all. As
1:31
Speaker 1: of now, Commissioner Goodell has said that the NFL Draft
1:34
Speaker 1: April will go on as scheduled. Obviously, by now you
1:39
Speaker 1: know that it will not be held in Las Vegas,
1:41
Speaker 1: but the league is working on the logistics of it
1:44
Speaker 1: where it will be held for television, et cetera. The
1:46
Speaker 1: reality is the official draft is done over a computer
1:49
Speaker 1: system anyway, The commissioner announcement often takes place minutes after
1:54
Speaker 1: the selection is quote unquote made. Usually only two or
1:58
Speaker 1: three people from each team are at the draft site.
2:01
Speaker 1: For the Jaguars, it's usually Director of Facilities Mike Perkins
2:04
Speaker 1: and the Director of Travel Hamza mad at the table,
2:07
Speaker 1: plus a PR representative On the first night, Tad Dickman
2:10
Speaker 1: or Alex Brooks in the past. That's about it, and
2:13
Speaker 1: from a logistics perspective, it should be pretty close to
2:16
Speaker 1: the same, minus the pageantry and the dog and pony
2:19
Speaker 1: show that surrounds it. We're inside four weeks away from
2:22
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft now, pretty crazy to think that it's
2:24
Speaker 1: almost here, and it sounds like it's full speed ahead
2:28
Speaker 1: mentality for the NFL. Now, let's start with some of
2:31
Speaker 1: the best parts of the last week, and actually we'll
2:33
Speaker 1: start with last week's Jaguars Happy Hour show. On March nineteenth,
2:37
Speaker 1: our first show on home self isolation, Mike Florio of
2:42
Speaker 1: Pro Football Talk joined us on short notice. We really
2:45
Speaker 1: appreciate his time in such a weird time frame. Of course,
2:48
Speaker 1: it's such a strange time that I asked him should
2:50
Speaker 1: the league have moved forward with the start of free
2:53
Speaker 1: agency as they did, considering everything that has happened, I
2:57
Speaker 1: personally believed it should have been delayed. Now I thought
3:00
Speaker 1: things we're going to get a lot worse this week
3:02
Speaker 1: than they did as of Monday morning. I believe that
3:05
Speaker 1: by Wednesday, at four pm Eastern, when the new league
3:07
Speaker 1: year began, there was a very good chance that there
3:10
Speaker 1: was going to be a national quarantine put in place,
3:12
Speaker 1: which would have made it impossible for anyone to finalize
3:16
Speaker 1: transactions and just would have slammed the brakes on everything.
3:20
Speaker 1: In hindsight, I think it worked out for the NFL.
3:23
Speaker 1: I know that there's some frustration out there on the
3:25
Speaker 1: part of teams that believe some of the rules the
3:27
Speaker 1: NFL put in place did not reflect a practical understanding
3:31
Speaker 1: of what the needs of the teams are. And there's
3:33
Speaker 1: been some relaxation of some of the some of the
3:35
Speaker 1: provisions that it really didn't make a whole lot of sense,
3:38
Speaker 1: like not announcing any deals until the physicals can be accomplished,
3:42
Speaker 1: because getting the physicals done has been the most cumbersome
3:45
Speaker 1: part of this because players can't come to the facility
3:48
Speaker 1: and the doctors can't go to the players. But yeah,
3:52
Speaker 1: I I I thought they should have waited. But at
3:56
Speaker 1: the same time, the business needed to get done at
3:59
Speaker 1: some point, and it did provide several days of a
4:04
Speaker 1: diversion and a distraction from people who are coming to
4:07
Speaker 1: grips with the fact that they're going to be inside
4:09
Speaker 1: for a while. Although I had a good friend asked
4:11
Speaker 1: me the other day, not connected to the NFL world,
4:15
Speaker 1: should they really have done this because it is odd
4:17
Speaker 1: when people are trying to figure out where their money
4:19
Speaker 1: is going to come from over the next couple of
4:21
Speaker 1: months to read about all of these guys signing multimillion
4:24
Speaker 1: dollar contracts. And that was one of the concerns I had,
4:27
Speaker 1: the optics. But the other concern was just more pragmatic.
4:29
Speaker 1: When is the curtain coming down on a national quarantine,
4:34
Speaker 1: and if you've already started this process, it's going to
4:36
Speaker 1: be very difficult to stop it. Florio also discussed the
4:39
Speaker 1: Jaguars trades at early free agency pickups and said it's
4:43
Speaker 1: not a taking job. This team could do some things,
4:46
Speaker 1: and I don't know that I would call it a
4:48
Speaker 1: rebuild per se. I think these are things that the
4:50
Speaker 1: team needs to do to have the cap space necessary
4:54
Speaker 1: to go with the nucleus of young talent that they
4:58
Speaker 1: believe in. I'm not stunned by any of the moves
5:01
Speaker 1: that have been made, and I don't look at it
5:02
Speaker 1: and say it's tanking. Tanking is when you start tearing
5:05
Speaker 1: it down during the season. This is a deliberate attempt
5:08
Speaker 1: to make the team better, to have cap space available
5:11
Speaker 1: to operate. To choose Gardner Minshew as the starting quarterback
5:15
Speaker 1: and give him a chance to move forward as the guy.
5:18
Speaker 1: He's the possible Tom Brady, the sixth round pick that
5:21
Speaker 1: fell into their laps that ended up getting thrust into action,
5:25
Speaker 1: not in his second season like Brady, but week one
5:29
Speaker 1: of his rookie year. And he's passed all the tests
5:32
Speaker 1: and he's an exciting player, and he he stimulates the
5:35
Speaker 1: fan base, and that's what you're looking for. And yeah,
5:38
Speaker 1: you want to also win. But I don't look at
5:40
Speaker 1: this because I've seen so many people in the meteor
5:42
Speaker 1: like every every move that gets made while they're tanking,
5:44
Speaker 1: while they're tanking, while they're tanking. No they're not. And
5:47
Speaker 1: we'll see if this is a deliberate process that ultimately
5:51
Speaker 1: results in the team being better than it was last year.
5:54
Speaker 1: One of those editions in free agency, the first one,
5:57
Speaker 1: in fact, was former Cleveland Browns linebacker Joe's Shobert. He'll
6:01
Speaker 1: play in the middle, and that means that Miles Jack
6:02
Speaker 1: will moved to the weak side linebacker position, the former
6:05
Speaker 1: position of Telvin Smith and last year Quincy Williams. Jaguars
6:09
Speaker 1: analyst Jeff Logaman explains more about the addition of Schobert
6:13
Speaker 1: and the move of Jack on Jaguars Happy Hour. Well,
6:15
Speaker 1: I don't don't think anybody's surprised with the move of
6:18
Speaker 1: Miles Jack on the Week's side, because look, the last
6:21
Speaker 1: two years shown that it took. It just wasn't working
6:23
Speaker 1: at a high level for Miles Jack at the mic position.
6:26
Speaker 1: And the reality is Joe Schobert is a good football player.
6:31
Speaker 1: He's a natural Mike Greg Williams, who was the defensive
6:35
Speaker 1: coordinator and then for a short period of time the
6:37
Speaker 1: interim head coach with Cleveland Browns, I mean that guy
6:40
Speaker 1: knows football. And Greg Williams is not one to banny
6:44
Speaker 1: about with a lot of compliments with football players that
6:46
Speaker 1: he's coached, but he absolutely loves Joe Schobert and can
6:51
Speaker 1: never say enough good things about him. So I think
6:55
Speaker 1: it's a it's a tremendous acquisition acquisition. I think it
6:59
Speaker 1: does a couple of things, things which allows you to
7:01
Speaker 1: get a good football player, good middle linebacker, but then
7:05
Speaker 1: also to move Miles Jack to the week's high position,
7:08
Speaker 1: which the week's high position. You know, we also for
7:11
Speaker 1: many years Telvin Smith played it, played it at a
7:14
Speaker 1: pretty high level, and it's a speed position and Miles
7:17
Speaker 1: Jack has beat, and I think the challenge for Miles
7:20
Speaker 1: Jack is to take his next step and being a pro.
7:24
Speaker 1: I thought Miles Jack last year, somewhat the year before,
7:28
Speaker 1: played not in the greatest of shape and not at
7:31
Speaker 1: the greatest of weight, and I think he needs to
7:34
Speaker 1: dedicate himself and it's going to be a challenging year
7:37
Speaker 1: to do that, because who knows if you're going to
7:39
Speaker 1: have the organized team activities or team workouts to be
7:43
Speaker 1: able to do that type of thing in that environment.
7:46
Speaker 1: So he's got to take the challenge upon himself and
7:49
Speaker 1: get himself in the best shape possible to be able
7:52
Speaker 1: to accept the challenge of moving to the week's side linebacker.
7:55
Speaker 1: A little later, Ashland Sullivan caught up with Shoulbert over Skype,
7:59
Speaker 1: and the new addition has had to figure out a
8:01
Speaker 1: new routine of staying in shape. So take me through
8:04
Speaker 1: how much your life has changed just in one day. Socially,
8:08
Speaker 1: social media wise, it's changed quite a bit. I have
8:10
Speaker 1: a new team and all that, but personally it hasn't
8:13
Speaker 1: changed at all. I'm still sitting in my parents my
8:15
Speaker 1: in law's parents house, uh, trying to get through my workouts,
8:19
Speaker 1: figure out where to go to workout where to go
8:20
Speaker 1: to run and stay safe and stay healthy in these times?
8:24
Speaker 1: How much of that is a challenge. I know, football
8:26
Speaker 1: is such a routine game. You guys are used to
8:28
Speaker 1: go on facilities and having a strict workout. I mean,
8:31
Speaker 1: is it back to high school days when you're running outside. Yeah, definitely.
8:35
Speaker 1: There's a field just a couple of blocks away from
8:37
Speaker 1: my from the house I'm staying at, um so going
8:40
Speaker 1: over there and running. I brought some weights home and
8:42
Speaker 1: some bars home to the basement here to kind of
8:45
Speaker 1: have a improvised home gym in the basement of in
8:47
Speaker 1: law's house, So taking up a lot of space in
8:50
Speaker 1: a lot of room. But I think they understand it's
8:52
Speaker 1: important for for what I do. So they're they've been
8:54
Speaker 1: very good about it, and let me do that. More Ashland,
8:57
Speaker 1: this time with head coach Doug Moron, who said the
9:00
Speaker 1: addition of Showbert should strengthen the entire linebacking corps, not
9:03
Speaker 1: just one position. So we were looking at you know,
9:06
Speaker 1: Will linebacker, Samlon linebacker, you know, Mic linebacker, thinking what
9:10
Speaker 1: would be the best thing for our football team. So
9:12
Speaker 1: you know, at the end of the day, you know,
9:14
Speaker 1: we looked at a guy like Joe and really felt
9:16
Speaker 1: great about the things that he was able to do,
9:18
Speaker 1: you know, being able to tackle, being able to diagnose. Um,
9:22
Speaker 1: we feel that you know, Miles is natural position as Will.
9:26
Speaker 1: You know, I've talked to him. He's excited about it. Um,
9:29
Speaker 1: he's fired up for it. So you know, when you
9:31
Speaker 1: can get a player like Joe Ann who's uh, you know,
9:35
Speaker 1: a true middle linebacker and it's played the position, played
9:38
Speaker 1: it at a high level, uh, is really gonna help us,
9:40
Speaker 1: not just in the one position, at the mic position,
9:43
Speaker 1: but obviously we're gonna get better play you know from
9:45
Speaker 1: Miles move into more natural position, which is Will. So
9:49
Speaker 1: you know, we made one move, but it's gonna help
9:50
Speaker 1: us in overall in the whole linebacking corps. Now on
9:54
Speaker 1: to Rodney Gunter, defensive lineman from the Arizona Cardinals. He
9:57
Speaker 1: played four years in Arizona and then they reach find
10:00
Speaker 1: him for a fifth season last year and now it's
10:02
Speaker 1: on the free agency and he's now with the Jaguars.
10:05
Speaker 1: He should be a big part of that rotation, at
10:07
Speaker 1: least on the defensive front. He's a native of the
10:10
Speaker 1: Haines City, Florida area, and his high school story and
10:13
Speaker 1: how he got back into football. It's pretty remarkable. As
10:17
Speaker 1: he told me on a Skype interview, you had to
10:19
Speaker 1: do some work to help the family out. You did
10:21
Speaker 1: a lot before you even started playing football. Yeah, man,
10:24
Speaker 1: I was, you know, I was the old as our
10:26
Speaker 1: three boys. My mom was a senior parent and she
10:29
Speaker 1: needed help, you know, throughout the time, you know, and
10:31
Speaker 1: I was old as I had to give me a
10:33
Speaker 1: job and helper out with bills and stuff. So I
10:35
Speaker 1: sacrificed football for my first two years in high school.
10:38
Speaker 1: And uh, I was missing the game. You know. I
10:41
Speaker 1: was a matter of fact, was a dishwasher and I
10:44
Speaker 1: was I was a waiter too, so had a helper
10:47
Speaker 1: out for a couple of years. And uh, like, I
10:49
Speaker 1: was going into my senior year in my high school
10:51
Speaker 1: and I was just missing football, and I went out,
10:55
Speaker 1: you know, I wanted to go out my senior with
10:57
Speaker 1: the band, and I decided to play football my last year,
11:00
Speaker 1: and I was I was fortunate to receive the Scottish
11:02
Speaker 1: from Denver State University and when they're all four years,
11:05
Speaker 1: and was blessed to get a chance to play football
11:08
Speaker 1: at next level and accomplished my dream. Gutter also said
11:12
Speaker 1: that he learned a lot from now former Jaguars defensive
11:15
Speaker 1: lineman Calias Campbell, And isn't that a little strange to say? Still,
11:20
Speaker 1: he was a teammate of Gunters in Arizona. I mean
11:22
Speaker 1: I was fortunately, you know, spent two years, my first
11:25
Speaker 1: two years with Klai's Campbell. Man. He's a great guy.
11:27
Speaker 1: Got tons of respect for him and also a good
11:30
Speaker 1: guy on the field. Off to fail. Coming in as
11:33
Speaker 1: a ricky, he taught me no great he taught me well.
11:35
Speaker 1: Man taught me well. He was like a mentor to me,
11:38
Speaker 1: like a big brother to me and everything. I have
11:40
Speaker 1: so much respect for the guy. Good stuff there from
11:43
Speaker 1: Rodney Gunter could be a good addition upfront for this
11:45
Speaker 1: Jaguars football team. Now, the Jaguars Drive Time on Tuesday
11:49
Speaker 1: morning of this week. They taped it over Skype, and
11:51
Speaker 1: as always, they dug into the Ozone mail bag. Ashland,
11:55
Speaker 1: John and Brian answer a question about draft picks. All right,
11:59
Speaker 1: let's go to New York that he Scott, what do
12:01
Speaker 1: you got for us with the Jags stockpiling draft picks?
12:04
Speaker 1: One begins to wonder, at what point do you have
12:07
Speaker 1: too many picks? How many players drafted in this offseason's dropped?
12:10
Speaker 1: Do you think make the opening day roster? One thing
12:15
Speaker 1: you don't know. I anticipate perhaps them using some of
12:18
Speaker 1: these picks to move around a little bit. Uh. You know,
12:22
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if they had another pick or
12:24
Speaker 1: two before the draft. I don't know that, but wouldn't
12:27
Speaker 1: shock you to see him go into this thing with thirteen. Um,
12:31
Speaker 1: you know where they're gonna have twelve. I think the
12:33
Speaker 1: answer to the second question is if they have twelve
12:36
Speaker 1: draft picks with this roster right now, with this team,
12:40
Speaker 1: I think all of the would make the team. I
12:41
Speaker 1: think a thirteen or fourteen. Because young players can play
12:46
Speaker 1: special teams. You would figure a lot of those guys
12:48
Speaker 1: are drafted linebacker depth, drafted cornerback or safety depth. UM.
12:54
Speaker 1: I don't know they would draft use all those twelve players,
12:58
Speaker 1: but if they did, you know, every rook he's gonna
13:01
Speaker 1: make the team. I mean, every drafts to make the team.
13:03
Speaker 1: It wouldn't surprises to mind drafted rooks make the team. Ryan,
13:06
Speaker 1: it wouldn't surprise me all. In fact, I would be
13:08
Speaker 1: stunned if they didn't make it all because this team
13:12
Speaker 1: doesn't have the additional cap room. You know, recent years
13:14
Speaker 1: they've gone out and signed the Jeff Swains of the world.
13:17
Speaker 1: Guys are gonna cost him four million dollars a year,
13:20
Speaker 1: which is a bargain for a veteran player who's gonna
13:23
Speaker 1: come in and do a couple of different things. He's
13:24
Speaker 1: gonna line up in the backfield, lineup on the line
13:26
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Oh and by the way, playing on your
13:28
Speaker 1: coverage team. So they'll use all those picks. Don't forget
13:31
Speaker 1: also the Dave Caldwell has the option to use some
13:33
Speaker 1: of these picks and trade into two thousand and twenty
13:36
Speaker 1: ones draft, which gives him flexibility. So just because he
13:41
Speaker 1: has them this year, and John, I'm like you, I
13:43
Speaker 1: think they're going to use him to move around, to
13:45
Speaker 1: go up into the first round, or to go back
13:47
Speaker 1: into the third, or however they want to arrange it.
13:49
Speaker 1: But Dave, I guarantee you has a strategy for a
13:52
Speaker 1: number of those picks to be used to create capital
13:55
Speaker 1: for next year as well. And let's not forget all
13:58
Speaker 1: about the offensive holds we've been talking about that still
14:00
Speaker 1: have yet to be filled in free agency. Offensive line
14:03
Speaker 1: tight end, you wouldn't hate to have another running back, quarterback.
14:06
Speaker 1: You still have so many holes with those picks. You
14:08
Speaker 1: got to fill those hole on offense. Hey, look, this
14:10
Speaker 1: is now officially a rebuilding football team. If we didn't
14:14
Speaker 1: believe that when Boyer was traded, it became clear when
14:17
Speaker 1: Klais Campbell was sent packing. Again. I use a term
14:20
Speaker 1: that I know Dave Colbell doesn't like to use. He
14:22
Speaker 1: likes to talk about building, not rebuilding. Uh, but all
14:26
Speaker 1: those picks are going to be important for a team
14:28
Speaker 1: that this year is against the cap and has plenty
14:30
Speaker 1: of holes on the roster to fill. I think the
14:33
Speaker 1: good news on that front is I think they're gonna
14:35
Speaker 1: draft a running back in the internet to wide receiver,
14:37
Speaker 1: and I think they're gonna draft two guys at that
14:39
Speaker 1: spot who they want to play pretty quickly, and running back.
14:42
Speaker 1: They're gonna want to try to get a change of
14:44
Speaker 1: pace guy wide receiver. I think they're going on a
14:47
Speaker 1: guy who who actually plays. But you can get both
14:50
Speaker 1: of those positions, especially in this year's draft. You can
14:52
Speaker 1: get wide receiver third or fourth round and come in
14:54
Speaker 1: and play right away. You can always get running back
14:56
Speaker 1: in that spot. So the picks they've got sort of
15:00
Speaker 1: line up with the Needs. That show airs each Tuesday
15:03
Speaker 1: at nine o'clock on the Jaguars social media pages and
15:06
Speaker 1: now onto Jaguars Happy Our Radio. Thursday, a mini Doug
15:10
Speaker 1: Morone show broke out at the start of the show
15:12
Speaker 1: as the head coach joined me over the phone. The
15:14
Speaker 1: early editions on defense and free agency were run defense oriented,
15:19
Speaker 1: and that's no coincidence. But then after the season when
15:22
Speaker 1: you're looking, you know, at bettering your football team and
15:24
Speaker 1: you start writing some things down, you know, obviously ourselves,
15:28
Speaker 1: the coaches, the scouts and myself along with Dave. You know,
15:30
Speaker 1: we talked about, okay, listen, how are we gonna you know,
15:32
Speaker 1: let let's get some people in here that are you know,
15:35
Speaker 1: that can defend the run and stop the run. You know,
15:37
Speaker 1: that can make the tackle, you know, because tackling is
15:39
Speaker 1: obviously a big thing, and you know that's where we
15:42
Speaker 1: looked at. There's some big body guys that can move well.
15:45
Speaker 1: We feel confident that we have obviously a couple of
15:48
Speaker 1: good guys. You know. Obviously it's good pass rushes with
15:51
Speaker 1: you know, Yannick and Josh and you know, Smooth came along,
15:54
Speaker 1: you know for us Laurents. You know, hopefully we'll be
15:56
Speaker 1: able to give us some help out there. Um, but
15:59
Speaker 1: then we we got some big body guys to go
16:01
Speaker 1: ahead and hold the line of scrimmage, and I think
16:03
Speaker 1: it's gonna help us. I think we made a move
16:05
Speaker 1: with Joe Schober at Mike that you know enables us
16:08
Speaker 1: now to move Miles to Will, which you know he's
16:10
Speaker 1: played all three positions well, but Will is probably his
16:13
Speaker 1: most natural positions. So we feel we're going to get
16:15
Speaker 1: you know, better play out of out of you know,
16:18
Speaker 1: the whole linebacker crew. And a guy that cash is
16:21
Speaker 1: marsh comes in and he's a guy that can play up,
16:23
Speaker 1: play down. We're looking for a pass rush out of him,
16:26
Speaker 1: can play sam backer, so you know, there's some versatility,
16:29
Speaker 1: and there's some versatility along the line with those defensive
16:32
Speaker 1: linemen that you mentioned too. And later in that show,
16:35
Speaker 1: a little respite from football, we caught up with Jaguars
16:38
Speaker 1: super Fans season ticket member and really the best guitarist
16:41
Speaker 1: on the planet, Derek Truck's. The coronavirus pandemic has knocked
16:45
Speaker 1: the sports world back a little, of course, but certainly
16:48
Speaker 1: the music industry as well, especially the live show business.
16:52
Speaker 1: Derek was involved in some of the final shows to
16:55
Speaker 1: be held in New York City before the shutdown and
16:58
Speaker 1: told me on a skype interview how odd it all
17:00
Speaker 1: really was. The Allman Brothers tribute show at Madison Square
17:04
Speaker 1: Garden a sell out there. And then I think the
17:07
Speaker 1: next night you were at the Beacon, or two nights
17:09
Speaker 1: later at the Beacon. Um, that had to be some
17:12
Speaker 1: strange times when everything was starting to set in in
17:15
Speaker 1: New York and you were basically the last last resort
17:19
Speaker 1: for people to get out of the house. It felt like, yeah,
17:21
Speaker 1: I mean it was. It was an odd time because
17:23
Speaker 1: you could feel like coming and you know, there were
17:25
Speaker 1: whispers that everything was gonna shut down, and um, you're
17:28
Speaker 1: kind of torn between, uh, we really want to bring
17:32
Speaker 1: thousand people into together, but um, the show went on
17:37
Speaker 1: and uh the show was amazing. That the show two
17:40
Speaker 1: nights later the Beacon was much stranger because they that
17:43
Speaker 1: was the day they put in the no crowds over
17:46
Speaker 1: five hundred people uh rule into effect, and uh so
17:49
Speaker 1: they had the Beacon Theater with maybe three hundred people
17:53
Speaker 1: in it, and it it just it felt like the
17:55
Speaker 1: last party before the end of the world. It was
17:58
Speaker 1: a little odd. And then unfortunately, I think, um five
18:02
Speaker 1: six people that were either playing or work in that show,
18:05
Speaker 1: I've already tested positive. So it's it's yeah Jackson Brown,
18:09
Speaker 1: who's Susan saying a duet with that night, and um,
18:12
Speaker 1: a bunch of the band, and it's it's a little, uh,
18:15
Speaker 1: a little lot. I had a bad feeling about that one.
18:17
Speaker 1: I tried to I tried to get that show pulled,
18:19
Speaker 1: but not not everyone was on board. How's everybody feeling now,
18:26
Speaker 1: might we? You know, as soon as we got home
18:29
Speaker 1: from New York, we went into full self quarantine mode.
18:32
Speaker 1: We had a feeling that, uh, that New York was
18:34
Speaker 1: gonna be bad and uh, you know, our parents lived
18:37
Speaker 1: down the street and my grandfather's down the roads. So
18:40
Speaker 1: we we've made we've stayed away from everybody. Um, we've
18:43
Speaker 1: had symptoms, you know. I think it's about a coin
18:45
Speaker 1: flip on whether we had it or not. But no
18:48
Speaker 1: reason to attack the healthcare system if if you're feeling,
18:51
Speaker 1: you know, you're just gonna self quarantine anyways, if you
18:53
Speaker 1: don't need to be uh, if you don't need a
18:56
Speaker 1: hospital bed. So we're uh, we're a okay, feeling better
18:59
Speaker 1: by the day. But I think I think we made
19:01
Speaker 1: it through it, and uh, maybe our antibodies are a
19:03
Speaker 1: little better now. We'll see. But avoid your parents and
19:07
Speaker 1: wash your hand. Good advice. Thank you, Derek. That's uh,
19:10
Speaker 1: that's great advice. Thanks again to Derek for his time
19:13
Speaker 1: this week skyping from the front yard while the kids
19:16
Speaker 1: use the internet for schoolwork. That's a new reality for
19:18
Speaker 1: the time being. The band was already scheduled to be
19:21
Speaker 1: off through June anyway, but now each Thursday they're showing
19:24
Speaker 1: a live archive replay of concerts. More info Toedesky Trucks
19:28
Speaker 1: band dot com, and they're among many bands doing something similar,
19:32
Speaker 1: giving fans something to watch or interact with, or a
19:35
Speaker 1: way to raise funds, two groups really impacted by this pandemic.
