"Vegan BBQ" episode 170 · DMV Mess Hall

• 0:00
  Hi folks, this is Rick Doc Walker.
• 0:02
  To DOC. This is John Kime, and you're
• 0:04
  listening to the mess hall with Rally Captain and Tailgate 10.
• 0:09
  What's going on, Rally? You got your passport ready,
• 0:12
  man. Yeah, I just made sure that I'm
• 0:16
  that it has more than six months before it expires because the
• 0:19
  last thing I'm trying to do is get caught up in customs before
• 0:22
  I have to, can't make it. That's actually a good tip for
• 0:27
  our listeners, those of you all that are planning on making that
• 0:29
  trip out to Madrid, make sure your passports good to go
• 0:33
  because they will not let you leave the country if that thing
• 0:37
  is set to expire within six months of us going out there.
• 0:41
  So definitely a a good, good tip there.
• 0:45
  I actually I got a couple crew members that are going out and
• 0:47
  making that trip. So it should be a good time.
• 0:50
  For those wondering, it is Tuesday, May 20th.
• 0:54
  We're recording this. The schedule releases out.
• 0:57
  As you can imagine, rally was busy.
• 1:01
  Definitely busy once that. Scheduled.
• 1:05
  Let people know man, what goes into setting up these packages
• 1:09
  for everybody. All right, so off the break when
• 1:13
  the dates come out, you've got to contact hotels, airlines to
• 1:18
  ratify contracts. You have to do that.
• 1:21
  You have to find out at least what the base cost is going to
• 1:25
  be so that you can formulate what your cost is going to be.
• 1:28
  Same thing with airlines setting up the contracts, ground
• 1:32
  transportation. I mean, everything has to have a
• 1:35
  contract because the last thing you want to do is hypothetically
• 1:39
  say that the trip is going to be 1000 bucks and then they raise
• 1:43
  the airfare on you and now it's 1200 bucks.
• 1:46
  And now as a business owner, you're taking a $200 hit per
• 1:49
  person. So it's a lot of paperwork
• 1:52
  that's involved, but it's not bad.
• 1:54
  I mean, it, it, it, it's what it is and you got to do it.
• 1:58
  Thank God that I am a travel agent and I, I've been doing it
• 2:01
  for such a long time that it, I can do it in my sleep.
• 2:04
  However, it's the, this the little stuff that the attention
• 2:08
  to detail that you really have to be bringing attention to,
• 2:12
  especially for this Spain trip because there's so many movement
• 2:15
  parts and it's, it's, and Spain is just on another, they're on
• 2:22
  their own schedule basically. So you, you have to wait for
• 2:27
  their reply. And a lot of times you know,
• 2:29
  they, they are 6 hours ahead. So you may get a response, you
• 2:35
  may not. So I'm still waiting for one
• 2:38
  other piece of business to come through so that I can finally
• 2:42
  put out the flyer for for Spain, even though I got to tell you
• 2:48
  the response was through the roof.
• 2:50
  I mean, I'm sold out. So I and I'm trying to acquire.
• 2:54
  Flyers not out, but you're already sold out.
• 2:56
  Yeah, Flyers not out. Yeah, I'm already sold out.
• 3:00
  The, the international schedule came out on Tuesday and I said,
• 3:05
  all right, I'm taking deposits and the next thing you know I
• 3:11
  will sold out. So as I said, I'm I'm working to
• 3:15
  another contract for some airlines and hotel.
• 3:22
  So it's just one of those things, man, we're we're slowly
• 3:25
  getting it together. Right now, everybody's asking me
• 3:28
  about Green Bay and unfortunately that's one of the
• 3:33
  things where I could not get the contract that I wanted out of
• 3:35
  Green Bay. And because of it, I'm not going
• 3:38
  to be doing a Green Bay trip. And so I know a lot of people
• 3:41
  were asking about it. However, every other team is
• 3:44
  still on the map to where, you know, yeah, yeah, it, it sucks,
• 3:50
  but I mean, got to play ball and, you know, you don't want to
• 3:55
  play ball. I'm not going to play ball.
• 3:57
  So I understand it's Green Bay, but you know, the dollar is a
• 4:01
  dollar and so you don't want it. I'm not going to I'm not going
• 4:06
  to take a loss just to, you know, make your pockets make
• 4:11
  sure if you will. So oh, I.
• 4:12
  Don't blame it man. Did you do 1 of Green Bay last
• 4:14
  time we were out there or is there just always a problem?
• 4:16
  OK. Yeah, No, no, I I did.
• 4:19
  And I took a loss. And so because of it, I, I
• 4:23
  learned my lesson. Yeah.
• 4:24
  And so and so now you know, all it takes is that one time for
• 4:28
  you to learn your lesson. And now, so Green Bay's out, but
• 4:34
  everybody else is in play. If you go to my website right
• 4:37
  now, you'll see that I have the Atlanta Falcons trip that's out,
• 4:43
  as well as the Dallas Cowboys. I'm working on the Kansas City
• 4:48
  trip once again. Favorite word, that C word
• 4:52
  contract. Waiting on that contract to come
• 4:55
  back so I can put the information out and get the fly
• 4:58
  out to everyone because everyone's asking me and that's
• 5:02
  probably going to be a big trip to Kansas City, I believe.
• 5:05
  Oh yeah, Monday night in KC. I'm actually I'm curious.
• 5:07
  So those are the only two you got on the website.
• 5:09
  Those wondering what is the website for everyone listening?
• 5:12
  Everybody listening it's www.s as in Sam B as in boy events
• 5:20
  EVENT s.net and that you can make you can sign up and you can
• 5:28
  make your payments all one stop shop on the website.
• 5:32
  If you bought anything online, this is no different.
• 5:36
  Yeah, When's the schedule came out?
• 5:38
  I know you were blowing up. I actually have people messaging
• 5:41
  me saying, hey, we want to go on a couple of way games.
• 5:44
  Can you help us out? Like no, I can't help you out,
• 5:48
  but my Co host, rally captain, who I know you all know can.
• 5:51
  So I was sitting in the website. So we want to make sure that any
• 5:54
  of you listening, you know, now's your chance.
• 5:57
  He's got and if you're watching this on the YouTube, you can see
• 6:00
  it right here. Commanders versus Falcons,
• 6:02
  Commanders versus Cowboys. Book now, sign up.
• 6:05
  And rally's going to be setting all this up for you guys.
• 6:08
  Mean you've been to all the stadiums that we're going to go
• 6:11
  to, except for Madrid, right? Correct.
• 6:14
  So which Rd. game are you most looking forward to going to
• 6:19
  except Madrid? Oh, that's going to be easy.
• 6:23
  Kansas City hands down. I'm looking forward to having
• 6:25
  some good BBQ. You know, I normally I would say
• 6:28
  Dallas, to be honest with you, because to me, even though
• 6:32
  that's our nemesis, you know, let's take a step, take a step
• 6:37
  back. But the food in Texas is good.
• 6:40
  I mean, and, and, and the, the billion dollar pay pen is, is
• 6:44
  it's, it's a great stadium. It, it just is.
• 6:46
  I know people don't like it, but I mean, you got to give credit
• 6:49
  where credit is due. So hey man, but Kansas City
• 6:57
  because once again, their food is on par and it it the BBQ is
• 7:02
  is let's face it, if you don't get BBQ from Kansas City then
• 7:06
  something's wrong. Unless you're vegan, but I
• 7:08
  understand that you do. They even have vegan options for
• 7:11
  BBQ so. What?
• 7:13
  Yeah, Vegan BBQ is out there. I gotta hey, hey, bro, it's
• 7:18
  there, you know, So take advantage.
• 7:22
  Take advantage of that good vegan BBQ.
• 7:24
  Vegan pulled pork that's not pork.
• 7:26
  That's not pork. That's right.
• 7:28
  The impossible pork. Yeah, you know.
• 7:31
  I don't even want to ruin my algorithm my searching for this
• 7:34
  stuff and now I'm curious. Yeah, but it, it's all good.
• 7:37
  Kansas City is a good time and the weather is going to be
• 7:40
  great. This is a great time to go to
• 7:42
  Kansas City in October before it gets too cold.
• 7:44
  And, and, and if you've been in the Midwest, you know that the
• 7:48
  summertime, it's brutally hot. I think it's hotter there than
• 7:51
  it is here. So we're at a great time.
• 7:55
  And the Kansas City package, by the way, since we play on Monday
• 7:59
  night, normally the packages would go from Friday to Monday.
• 8:05
  But because we play on Monday night, the game packages
• 8:09
  Saturday till Tuesday. So that'll give you plenty of
• 8:13
  time to get there, get some food, hang out, come to the
• 8:20
  rally. If, if there will be a rally,
• 8:24
  I'm sure there will be a rally. I'm, I'm hoping there will be a
• 8:27
  rally, you know, hopefully ownership is listening and, and
• 8:32
  they perform a rally for the fans that are coming because
• 8:35
  it's going to be just a electrified crowd.
• 8:40
  And you know, I haven't heard anything about the Madrid, but
• 8:44
  hopefully there's a rally in Madrid.
• 8:47
  And, and, and please, if you guys have a rally in Madrid,
• 8:51
  don't allow it to be like London.
• 8:53
  Now, I know it's different ownership, but you're going to
• 8:56
  need a large venue. So one of the largest venues
• 8:59
  that Spain has. I mean, you might want to book
• 9:02
  the Coliseum or something because half of half of
• 9:06
  Commanders fans are going to be there, 3/4 of of of Commanders
• 9:10
  fans are going to be there. So I can't wait.
• 9:13
  Yeah, the Hard Rock Cafe in Madrid is not that big, so I
• 9:16
  don't think we should go there. I've been having people send me
• 9:19
  that, that are Eagles fans saying, oh, looks like you guys
• 9:22
  are going to have a place to go hang out when you're there.
• 9:24
  And I just mute all of them and move on.
• 9:27
  But yeah, it's for those wondering, I mean, we, we don't
• 9:29
  know what's going on with the rallies yet.
• 9:32
  It should be a good time. I am planning on being in Madrid
• 9:35
  as well with Misses Tailgate and I feel like everybody and their
• 9:41
  mom is saying they're going out there.
• 9:44
  I'll be curious to see what happens because on top of it,
• 9:47
  tickets are not available from the team yet.
• 9:50
  I was actually with a Dolphins season ticket holder this past
• 9:56
  Sunday. You know you know Chuck from
• 9:58
  command corner. Yeah.
• 10:01
  Did you know that Chuck was the drummer for Brett Michaels from
• 10:04
  Poison? I do now.
• 10:08
  I had no idea, man. I'm hanging out at a Boardwalk
• 10:11
  Rock in Ocean City, MD, this weekend, right?
• 10:13
  It's a, it's a rock music festival.
• 10:15
  It's the first time they ever did it.
• 10:17
  They had Def Leppard, Nickelback, Three Days Grace,
• 10:23
  just like a bunch of rock bands. I went with a a buddy of mine
• 10:26
  from Fox 5 and our spouses and he's telling me about his his
• 10:31
  boy Chuck. We're going to meet up with his
• 10:33
  boy Chuck. His boy used to play with what's
• 10:36
  his first time Bret Michaels from Poison because Brett was
• 10:38
  performing there. So it's like, OK, it's fine.
• 10:40
  We're hanging out Nickelbacks on stage this last night, Sunday
• 10:43
  night, and all of a sudden command corner Chuck rolls up
• 10:48
  with my boy and that's who he was talking about.
• 10:52
  Like you were a drummer and a drummer for Brett Michaels is it
• 10:56
  was just. You never know.
• 10:57
  Such a crazy world man. I mean.
• 10:59
  Never know, man. I had now whenever I see him,
• 11:02
  I'm not going to get that thought out of my head, right?
• 11:06
  I can't. Oh, I can only imagine the
• 11:08
  stories that he's got. You know, if you guys know who
• 11:10
  we're talking about, ask him the stories on your own and maybe
• 11:14
  share those with Riley and I later.
• 11:16
  But his his other half is with him.
• 11:18
  She is a Dolphin season ticket holder.
• 11:22
  OK. Even though they live in our
• 11:24
  area, she has Dolphin season tickets and actually resells
• 11:29
  those season tickets and they get to a couple of Dolphins
• 11:30
  games. The Dolphins fans haven't been
• 11:34
  able to buy their allotment of tickets yet.
• 11:36
  So since we're the away team, let's be sure.
• 11:40
  We haven't been able to buy them yet either and I know people are
• 11:42
  seeing tickets on StubHub and 3rd party sites.
• 11:47
  I think our Boy George Carney got screwed.
• 11:50
  He bought tickets on tic pic and they cancelled his order because
• 11:55
  he bought it at such a cheap price that they just completely
• 11:58
  cancelled it. Gave his money back.
• 12:00
  Oh wow, I didn't I didn't they do that.
• 12:03
  I. Didn't think they could either.
• 12:04
  And there was this whole long thing on X with him going back
• 12:07
  and forth and other people chiming in.
• 12:09
  But I guess it's in their fine print that they're completely
• 12:12
  allowed to do that. So be careful.
• 12:14
  And honestly, guys, I mean, if you want a a hassle freeway to
• 12:17
  do this and it's just this isn't a advertising for Rally.
• 12:20
  I just know a bunch of people that have booked trips with him.
• 12:24
  It's just easier to do it through him, right?
• 12:27
  And I actually got reached out to buy and I won't say who, but
• 12:31
  a couple of other companies out there that have Super Bowl
• 12:35
  quarterbacks for our team that are part of their package.
• 12:40
  And I don't know how much rallies is going to cost, but
• 12:43
  this thing was $8000 and I'm not going to pay.
• 12:48
  I'm not that expensive bro. My SO my ballpark just for
• 12:51
  everybody who's listening once I open the slots back up because I
• 12:55
  am going to be getting more air airfare coverage as well as room
• 13:00
  accommodations. My ballpark is 31 to 3900 per
• 13:05
  person. Repeat that one more time for
• 13:07
  people that didn't hear you. Yeah, 3100 on this is a ballpark
• 13:12
  range 3100 to 3900 per person. I mean, at the most, at the most
• 13:20
  4000. And just so you guys know that's
• 13:23
  going to cover all right, your, your round trip airfare, your
• 13:27
  hotel accommodations, 4 star hotel accommodation, by the way,
• 13:30
  transportation from the hotel to the stadium or not to the hotel
• 13:33
  to the, I'm sorry, from the airport to the hotel, a lower
• 13:39
  level or upper level game ticket if you choose and a tool, a
• 13:44
  couple tours, transportation from the hotel to the stadium.
• 13:52
  What else is there? Free breakfast every morning?
• 13:56
  I'm trying to think what else now.
• 13:58
  I think that's about it, that that covers pretty much
• 14:00
  everything. That's a lot, man.
• 14:02
  That's a lot that you're getting.
• 14:03
  Plus not having to worry about a single thing, just paying it,
• 14:07
  making sure your passports up to date and that's it, right?
• 14:10
  I mean, you know, it's on you if your bag's overweight or you
• 14:13
  know, something like that happens, but.
• 14:15
  Right. That's, that's how the SBE
• 14:16
  advances control. We can't, we can't control if
• 14:19
  your bag's over over 50 lbs or whatever have you?
• 14:21
  But a lot of people have reached out and said, look, when you
• 14:26
  open this back up, put me on the waiting list because I want to
• 14:29
  be notified. And so I think I may have to
• 14:33
  even go with a 1/3 flight. I tried to book a a whole full
• 14:36
  plane, but they wouldn't let me do it.
• 14:39
  I wanted, I wanted to charter a full plane and a full plane
• 14:42
  consists of roughly anywhere from 175 to 250 seats.
• 14:51
  And so they wouldn't let me do it.
• 14:53
  I, I, I mean, I guarantee you'd fill it right?
• 14:56
  Oh, so many people. Want to go?
• 14:58
  This next, this next, this next batch of of contracts that I've
• 15:03
  signed, yeah, we're there so. That's awesome.
• 15:07
  And it's just, I, I can't imagine how insane it's going to
• 15:11
  be. For those of you that didn't get
• 15:13
  to go to London Rally was talking about the rally we had
• 15:16
  out there. It was at a small pub that was
• 15:20
  one level with one bar. I mean, people were nuts to, but
• 15:25
  I think we told the story a couple times.
• 15:27
  I was upstairs, you were upstairs on the 2nd floor.
• 15:30
  Joe Theisman was up there, and Cooley and a couple.
• 15:33
  Other, yeah. And it was, there's just no
• 15:36
  room, people couldn't get in, right?
• 15:37
  And we hope the team does something.
• 15:40
  And you know, I don't know when actually, do you know yet when
• 15:44
  people are going to get in? Because you mentioned for Sunday
• 15:46
  games, you get in, you know, Friday leave, you know, Sunday.
• 15:49
  When is the travel going to be for Madrid?
• 15:52
  Good question, Acts. That's an excellent question.
• 15:55
  So because we are going to be in Madrid, I'm going to allow
• 16:00
  people to get there early. So we're going to actually fly
• 16:04
  out on Tuesday and return Tuesday.
• 16:08
  So. Oh, yeah.
• 16:10
  Oh, yeah. Because we've got a lot of
• 16:11
  planned, man. I mean, and The thing is you
• 16:14
  don't want to be rushed when you when you do a trip like this.
• 16:17
  There's so much to see and so little time to see it.
• 16:20
  And so I'm giving everyone an opportunity to be leisurely,
• 16:26
  look at things as well as even though it's going to be a lot,
• 16:32
  it seems like a long period of time, those days are going to go
• 16:35
  by so fast and, and, and you probably won't even still be
• 16:38
  able to see everything. But I'm going to try to take
• 16:41
  care of that to where you can see everything because as I
• 16:44
  said, we've got some things planned.
• 16:47
  That's awesome, man. Yeah, we're, we're getting there
• 16:49
  on Tuesday, but we're actually flying to Barcelona and then
• 16:53
  we're taking a, a train down to Madrid.
• 16:55
  It's a $30 train that's like 2 hours and some change to get
• 16:59
  down there because the oh. Yeah, the speed.
• 17:02
  Bullet train, yeah, ain't long and it ain't expensive.
• 17:05
  So for those of you that are, you know, join a rally and maybe
• 17:08
  want to go to Barcelona, you know, you can just hop on the
• 17:09
  train, head up, just come back down.
• 17:11
  But that's awesome because yeah, we're going to do we're doing 7
• 17:14
  days too. So for me, I'm looking forward
• 17:17
  to, if I can pull it off Green Bay, right?
• 17:21
  I have. I've never been to Lambeau.
• 17:23
  I've always wanted to go. But all the times we played
• 17:27
  them, it's just been in the like the colder months.
• 17:31
  And you know, my people are from the islands on the equator.
• 17:34
  I'm just not built for that kind of cold.
• 17:37
  So there's just no way. I was doing it beforehand.
• 17:39
  But it's Week 2 on a Thursday and then we got the rest of the
• 17:43
  weekend to ourselves. It's I don't think I'm going to
• 17:45
  hang out in Green Bay as long as I want to hang out in Madrid
• 17:48
  just because it's Green Bay and there ain't much to do.
• 17:51
  But that's the game that I really want to make sure I get
• 17:53
  to. And actually, I'll talk to you
• 17:56
  offline about that. I've got some Packers fans that
• 17:58
  are helping me out with a couple of tickets for that.
• 18:01
  So it should be, should be a damn good time.
• 18:05
  Is there a particular home opponent you're looking forward
• 18:08
  to facing this year? Well, you know what the I want
• 18:13
  to see actually, 2 the Detroit fans are still talking trash
• 18:18
  that they, we caught, we caught him on a humble and you know,
• 18:21
  they, they, the players were injured and yadda, yadda, yadda.
• 18:25
  But I said, even though you, I said, so now you want to say
• 18:28
  your players are injured, but before your, your players were
• 18:31
  still injured. You talk mad trash.
• 18:34
  Well, everyone should be healthy.
• 18:37
  Praying to the football guys that everybody's healthy because
• 18:40
  I want to see a rematch with Detroit as well as Chicago.
• 18:44
  I mean, the NFL gave us how many prime time games?
• 18:48
  I mean, this is incredible. All the prime time games.
• 18:52
  Do we have to to to showcase what we what we flash in the
• 18:57
  pants or were we actually, are we actually really that good?
• 18:59
  And I'm going to say we really that good.
• 19:02
  And so in Adam Peters, we trust he's he he is formulated a great
• 19:11
  football cast and football players.
• 19:13
  So I'm hoping that we can dominate and and and not be
• 19:18
  these guys out both of them because they're, you know,
• 19:22
  Chicago. But we we beat you guys.
• 19:25
  But I said the scoreboard or the the legends will never say
• 19:31
  almost. It says WS and LS.
• 19:34
  So what you almost did does not matter.
• 19:36
  It's it's what happened. And so they took that L and I'm
• 19:40
  hoping that we can do the exact same thing on Was that a Monday
• 19:43
  night or Thursday night with them?
• 19:46
  Which one? Chicago.
• 19:48
  Chicago is a Monday night and Detroit is a 425 Sunday game.
• 19:54
  He might as well say that that's the, that's the, that's the
• 19:56
  evening game. So, Oh yeah.
• 19:58
  So everybody will be tuned in ready to see what's going on.
• 20:02
  I'm right there with you. I mean, for me, I want to whoop
• 20:06
  up on Chicago. For some reason, Chicago's fans
• 20:09
  feel like they've got a rivalry with us.
• 20:12
  There ain't no rivalry, right? I mean, we beat you with what's
• 20:16
  his face? Who was the horrible guy that we
• 20:19
  freaking had that ended up losing us when Sam Hal came in?
• 20:24
  I, I've blocked that on my mind now.
• 20:26
  The guy from Philly, why am I? Why am I spacing on this guy?
• 20:30
  The guy that we got from the Eagle, that that was on the
• 20:33
  Eagles, that was garbage. You got me, man.
• 20:36
  Oh, you got to be kidding me. How can I not think of his name?
• 20:39
  Carson Wentz. Yeah, yeah.
• 20:41
  I mean, when Wentz broke his finger, we'd beat them right
• 20:44
  when we were up there that Thursday night, so.
• 20:47
  And see, and see, that's what I think is the reason why they
• 20:50
  think it's a rival, because the last time that we've played
• 20:52
  them, they've all been primetime games.
• 20:55
  Yeah, I don't know why. Why do you and Thursdays, why do
• 20:59
  we keep playing them on Thursday?
• 21:01
  Is it just can Chicago fans can like are they on house arrest
• 21:05
  and they can't let go anywhere on on Friday or Saturday?
• 21:08
  Sunday you. Got to get the hate.
• 21:10
  You want to get the hate? Even though I had AI had a boy,
• 21:13
  I won't say his name, he got pulled over on the GW Parkway
• 21:18
  going 100 something and I want to say like a, yeah, exactly
• 21:21
  like 100 something and a 45. So he had to report to jail and
• 21:26
  GW Parkway. For those that don't know,
• 21:28
  that's federal land depending on where you are.
• 21:30
  Yeah. So he had to report to jail
• 21:33
  every Friday and got let out every Monday morning because it
• 21:39
  was either that or he goes for several months at a time.
• 21:42
  They don't want to lose his job. So Friday to Monday he would
• 21:46
  just have to report and then get let go.
• 21:48
  Like I wonder if that's what happens to Bears fans and they
• 21:51
  can't travel because seems like every time we play, it was on a
• 21:54
  freaking Thursday, except this time it is a Monday night that
• 21:56
  they're coming to town and we've got 5 prime time games, the
• 22:01
  first Christmas Day game, the first international game in nine
• 22:05
  years, and 10 national windows, right?
• 22:08
  So that is a lot of commanders. So if you guys don't have the
• 22:11
  Sunday Ticket or YouTube TV or whatever it is, you'll still get
• 22:15
  a chance to watch us regardless of having to spend that extra
• 22:17
  cash. So that's freaking awesome.
• 22:20
  Oh, yeah. I mean, I, my dad, he was like,
• 22:23
  what is going on with your team? I said, pops, I don't know.
• 22:26
  But hey, obviously somebody's shining up on us or, or, or
• 22:32
  could it be a fluke? You know, I don't know, but
• 22:34
  we're going to, we're definitely going to be lost in the sauce
• 22:38
  this year and I, I can't wait. So how does that affect you?
• 22:41
  We've always talked about tailgating, you know, with, with
• 22:44
  the later games. You don't like the later games
• 22:46
  of tailgate? You like the 1:00?
• 22:49
  I do and I don't right the one O clock games I'm up at 4:00 in
• 22:53
  the morning to get out to the stadium and everything else.
• 22:56
  So it's just such an early morning and an early night for
• 22:59
  me. The four O clock games
• 23:02
  definitely get to sleep in. The only problem is when it's
• 23:05
  warm out, I'm going to have to re ice.
• 23:08
  So I got to make sure that everything stays nice and cold
• 23:10
  because I was wondering if the cars packed up the night before.
• 23:14
  So if we don't play until later on, I got to make sure I get
• 23:17
  some more ice stockpile that the night games.
• 23:20
  That's just too much waiting, right?
• 23:22
  And I'm just sitting around because the parking lot doesn't
• 23:25
  open until 4, right? And what are we supposed to do?
• 23:29
  And people say, oh, you can watch the early games.
• 23:31
  Like I'm sure we'll be on Arena Drive maybe at 1:00, hanging out
• 23:35
  watching the early games and just shooting the S out there
• 23:37
  with all the other Washington fans, whoever else is coming to
• 23:39
  town. But I think 4 is perfect.
• 23:43
  I think 8 is a little too much. I mean, we have three 1:00 home
• 23:48
  games this year, right? That's just, that's crazy to me.
• 23:51
  The Giants, the Raiders is 1:00 and then the other 1:00 is
• 23:58
  Dallas, right? It's just, it's so odd on
• 24:02
  Christmas, which that kind of sucks, right?
• 24:04
  What did you think when you saw the Christmas Day game?
• 24:07
  Honestly, Ted, as long as we weren't playing them in Texas on
• 24:11
  Christmas, I was OK. I mean, we played the Giants on
• 24:15
  Thanksgiving a couple years back and, you know, I didn't mind
• 24:19
  that. My biggest concern was just
• 24:23
  don't play them again in Texas on New Year's, Christmas,
• 24:28
  Thanksgiving or, or anything like that because whatever
• 24:32
  reason, they've always done that to us.
• 24:35
  So I was, I was actually happy to see that we weren't playing
• 24:39
  them in Dallas on Thanksgiving. I don't mind it being Christmas
• 24:43
  here because if that, I guess I don't have any little kids
• 24:46
  anymore. So Christmas with adults is a
• 24:50
  little different, you know, So I'm actually happy that I can
• 24:53
  sleep in a little bit as well as take in this Christmas game and,
• 24:57
  and it's in our house for a change.
• 25:01
  Yeah, it is nice that people can just watch it on Netflix, right?
• 25:05
  You don't have to worry about it if you're not local and you're
• 25:07
  going away. Because my big concern is we fly
• 25:11
  to go see the in laws and the game's not on national TV and I
• 25:15
  got to find a way to watch it because I don't have the Sunday
• 25:17
  ticket. So I've gotten traded over the
• 25:19
  years. I'm just a little bummed because
• 25:22
  it's a 1:00. I'm I'm concerned about our fan
• 25:27
  base not showing up to a degree because they've got little kids,
• 25:32
  right? They've got families and
• 25:33
  Christmas traditions, whether they're going to, you know, mass
• 25:36
  or opening presents or whatever it may be.
• 25:38
  I don't think the Cowboys fans are going to flood our stadium
• 25:41
  because of that. I'm just wondering how much of
• 25:44
  the fan base is actually going to show up from a season ticket
• 25:47
  holder perspective, because I've talked to a bunch of them.
• 25:50
  Like 2/3 of my crew is going to be gone.
• 25:53
  They're not going to be able to come out because they've got
• 25:55
  kids, right? And even the ones that don't
• 25:57
  have kids, they've got older parents that they can't miss
• 26:01
  Christmas with. I actually thought my little
• 26:03
  brother was going to be able to go because my niece is a year,
• 26:07
  she'll actually be what, 2 years at that point.
• 26:11
  So I figured they won't be able to make it.
• 26:13
  But he told me no, he's guaranteed to be there.
• 26:15
  So I'm happy about that. But from a tailgate perspective,
• 26:18
  I think it's going to be small on the smaller side, if that
• 26:21
  actually is anything, because I think our tailgate this year,
• 26:23
  we're going to have to change some things.
• 26:25
  It's, it's definitely going to be bigger than it has been.
• 26:28
  And that Eagle's tailgate, there's going to have to be a
• 26:31
  different way to sign up because I don't want Eagles fans ruining
• 26:34
  that for the rest of our fan base.
• 26:35
  So I've I've got that in the works but.
• 26:39
  I wouldn't be surprised if if families give Christmas gifts
• 26:45
  commanders Christmas gifts for the game I.
• 26:47
  Wouldn't I think they will, Yeah, I, I think you'll be able
• 26:50
  to. I don't think your Cowboys
• 26:52
  Commanders game ticket, if you look historically back to what
• 26:55
  it cost last year, I don't think it's going to be on the
• 26:58
  secondary market as much as it is as expensive this year just
• 27:01
  because more people are probably going to be selling them for
• 27:05
  that Christmas game. Speaking of which, did you you
• 27:08
  see that what the Colts and the Seahawks sent their season
• 27:11
  ticket holders? No what they send them.
• 27:15
  So it was a letter about reselling your season tickets.
• 27:19
  Let me see if I can pull it up. And it was basically talking
• 27:24
  about be careful reselling your season tickets.
• 27:28
  Let me just grab it here. We'll see.
• 27:33
  I'm already kind of that hits me as a sore spot it I paid you my
• 27:40
  money for that ticket. So why do you have a problem
• 27:44
  with me selling my ticket? What?
• 27:45
  What's the the the bad thing about it?
• 27:47
  'Cause you're making the money, not them, right?
• 27:50
  So this is this is what it said. The Seahawks are the only team
• 27:54
  warning their season ticket holders about repercussions for
• 27:56
  selling most or all of their tickets to 2025.
• 28:00
  The team told those fans that renewal eligibility may be
• 28:03
  impacted by excessive reselling, and the Colts have sent a
• 28:07
  similar letter this offseason. Stephen Holder of ESPN reports
• 28:11
  that no action will be taken now, but that frequent resellers
• 28:14
  have been told that they are in violation of the team's ticket
• 28:17
  policy and more of the same will lead to a different response.
• 28:22
  So how do they know? OK, go ahead, go ahead.
• 28:24
  Says our records show that you listed or resold most of your
• 28:27
  tickets for the 2024 season, and while no action will be taken
• 28:29
  today, if you are shown to be reselling most of your tickets
• 28:32
  again this season, you will unfortunately be unable to
• 28:35
  renew. And this was in the letter that
• 28:38
  went out to people, right? And you're asking how do they
• 28:42
  know they can tell that your ticket was posted on the back
• 28:47
  end in their system? This is something they've been
• 28:50
  able to do for a long time. That's all.
• 28:52
  I had a friend that worked for the Nationals and he sent
• 28:57
  someone in our group some Nats tickets for a playoff game
• 29:01
  behind home plate. These are employee tickets.
• 29:04
  So you just can't resell these, right?
• 29:07
  They're your tickets. You're getting them for the
• 29:09
  employee price. Just don't resell them.
• 29:10
  Don't post them. Well, he transferred it to a
• 29:13
  friend. The friend couldn't make it last
• 29:16
  minute and didn't tell his buddy and he posted it on StubHub.
• 29:20
  So the guy got reprimanded and got his rights revoked to be
• 29:25
  able to get employee tickets, right?
• 29:28
  And it's just, it's something that all teams can see that
• 29:31
  you're doing, even if you're not selling it, like the Commander's
• 29:34
  UC Geek, even if you're selling it on StubHub, they have the
• 29:39
  ability to check and see what's going on, so.
• 29:43
  So what? So what's the, what's the issue?
• 29:47
  Is the issue? Oh, you said they're making the
• 29:48
  money. So it's not a matter of they're
• 29:50
  mad that that hypothetically the opposing team is coming in.
• 29:53
  They're mad at you're possibly, let's just say hypothetically,
• 29:56
  getting a $70 profit off of the ticket or whatever you're trying
• 30:00
  to profit, OK? Yeah, from the secondary market.
• 30:02
  So it has nothing to do with it going to opposing teams fan
• 30:06
  bases, right? They're not talking about the
• 30:08
  fact that we don't don't want our stadium flooded.
• 30:10
  It's the fact that the team has a wait list, so they're saying
• 30:14
  we want the people on that wait list to be able to get season
• 30:18
  tickets instead of you, someone who isn't going and actually
• 30:21
  using your tickets or you're only going to a small number of
• 30:24
  them. And I mentioned earlier about
• 30:26
  the Dolphins fan, right? She lives here, so she doesn't
• 30:29
  get to go to a majority of the Dolphins games, right?
• 30:32
  You know, my friend Steve from Fox, he's got Steelers season
• 30:38
  tickets. He paid for PSL, right?
• 30:40
  And he's got Steelers season tickets up there.
• 30:43
  But he lives in DC and depending on the schedule, he's got to be
• 30:47
  up on the news at, you know, 4 O clock in the morning.
• 30:49
  He might not be able to make it if it's a night Steelers game.
• 30:52
  So he's got to sell those tickets, right?
• 30:55
  And I just, I think it's BS and I think it's teams being greedy
• 31:00
  because people are taking advantage of supply and demand.
• 31:06
  I don't agree. I don't agree with it, but at
• 31:08
  the same time, I mean this, this nation is built on capitalism
• 31:11
  and that's capitalism, capitalism at its best.
• 31:15
  So what I do with my ticket is what I do with it.
• 31:19
  So if I hyper. So here's the thing then, with
• 31:22
  that being said, I need to hear that from about like Detroit the
• 31:26
  playoff tickets and freaking Philadelphia the playoff
• 31:31
  tickets, because we know that a normal lower bowl seat is about
• 31:39
  300 bucks and you're selling it for 19 to 2000.
• 31:44
  Yeah, I don't even. Want to think about what we pay
• 31:46
  man? Yeah, yeah.
• 31:49
  I mean, I'm still got the stitches for my kidney being
• 31:52
  taken out, but but yeah, man, I mean, so I don't want to hear
• 31:57
  it. It is what it is and they know
• 32:00
  it. Otherwise force the sellers to
• 32:04
  sell them low when you see them a post it.
• 32:05
  If that's the case then when you see them posting them for some
• 32:08
  rigorous amount then say Nope you can sell it but you got to
• 32:13
  sell it for this if you want to be play Big Brother.
• 32:17
  Yeah, I I wish that was possible.
• 32:19
  It's just a StubHub in those sites.
• 32:21
  They make their fees on the like they take a percentage of what
• 32:24
  you're selling it for. So it it's crazy.
• 32:27
  I mean, I just I renewed my defender season tickets and I
• 32:31
  haven't been able to go to a ton of the games, but it's $100 for
• 32:36
  the entire season for my ticket, right, And I sit in the beer
• 32:40
  snake section. It's the only section that you
• 32:44
  can resell that actually has a value.
• 32:46
  So I sold two games that made-up for my entire season.
• 32:50
  So I go back to a conversation you and I had years, you know,
• 32:54
  not yet like pods ago about I remember back in the day RFK
• 32:59
  those fans, some of them would sell the Cowboys game and the
• 33:03
  Eagles game to pay for the entire season and to pay for the
• 33:06
  playoff tickets. So this letter is saying
• 33:10
  excessive reselling. Can you define excessive for me?
• 33:15
  Right, Indianapolis Colts or is this something the commanders
• 33:19
  are going to put into their PSL language coming up that we get?
• 33:24
  It's not going to stop me from getting it, but understanding
• 33:27
  the fine print best be sure I'm reading that fine print and I'm
• 33:30
  probably going to have my lawyer go forward and look at that damn
• 33:33
  fine print. Because if I've got 4 tickets
• 33:37
  and we're spending, you know, we talked 10 grand for APSL, I'm
• 33:41
  going to try and make some cash back, right?
• 33:44
  Misses Tailgate doesn't have to bring her girlfriends to, you
• 33:46
  know, 4 of the 8 games that we have that year.
• 33:50
  Maybe I'll sell them to someone else to try and recoup some of
• 33:53
  that investment as long as it makes sense.
• 33:56
  It only makes sense, man. Yeah, I just, I don't feel bad
• 34:00
  for these fan bases, but something for our fan base to
• 34:03
  kind of, you know, be aware of that could be coming down the
• 34:06
  pipe. But knowing that we won 12 games
• 34:12
  last year and knowing the schedule we have and I actually
• 34:16
  I think I looked at it, I think we have the 7th hardest schedule
• 34:21
  by based on strength of schedule this year.
• 34:24
  How many games do you think were favored?
• 34:29
  Off the break favored. I'm I'm going to say to favorite
• 34:34
  probably 8 off this off the break favored.
• 34:40
  Is that your final answer? Yeah, that's my final answer.
• 34:42
  Eight games. You want to phone a friend?
• 34:46
  OK, Ted, what is it? We're favored 12 games this
• 34:51
  season so far, man. What?
• 34:55
  Yeah, 1 to 12 games this season, right?
• 35:00
  That's just that is insane. To me, they think we're going to
• 35:05
  just blow the just blow the doors off of people this year.
• 35:09
  So with that being said, I kind of wanted to go down the
• 35:12
  schedule with you to see what you think off the bat, right?
• 35:17
  And before we do that, guess how many teams were playing coming
• 35:23
  off of there by week? Well, I haven't delved that deep
• 35:29
  into this, so I don't know, but I'll just say because we're
• 35:34
  making a note of this 6. That was close.
• 35:40
  That was close. Four, we're facing four teams
• 35:45
  coming off their by right, and three of those games are
• 35:49
  primetime games. So they're getting extra time at
• 35:54
  that point just because of that. And it's the most of any team in
• 35:58
  the league. So we're playing the Bears, the
• 36:01
  Seahawks, the Broncos and the Giants all coming off their bye
• 36:06
  week. So good news is I think all of
• 36:10
  those games are home games for us.
• 36:12
  I got to double check and see if that Giants game is a Homer in a
• 36:15
  way. But considering the Giants, we
• 36:19
  play them in December. Yeah, the Giants game has to be
• 36:22
  a home game because they're not giving the Giants actually, you
• 36:26
  know what I don't know. Yeah.
• 36:28
  No, it's the Giants game is in DC because we play the Giants
• 36:31
  Week 1, so they don't have a buy for preseason.
• 36:34
  So yeah, so they get to come here.
• 36:36
  But Week 1 is US against the Giants. 1:00 You think we're
• 36:41
  taking a dub or an L on that game?
• 36:45
  Well, I got to go with the dub. Yeah, I'm right there with you.
• 36:48
  I'm going to say dub as well. Short week Week 2, September
• 36:53
  11th, 8:00 Thursday night in Green Bay.
• 36:57
  What are you thinking? Do they have a short week as
• 37:00
  well? They've got to have a short week
• 37:03
  because everyone starts on the 7th.
• 37:06
  Actually, let me look at the Packers.
• 37:09
  Schedule. I mean, it's got to be a short
• 37:10
  week. I would, I would hope so, but at
• 37:12
  the same time, you know. They yeah, they play the the
• 37:17
  September 7th they opened up against the Lions at home, so
• 37:20
  they don't have to. Try the Lions are going to
• 37:22
  tenderize them, so I'm going to go ahead and go with the dub.
• 37:27
  Part of me wants to say when here, but the other part of me,
• 37:32
  I'm going with an L because I feel like we don't see our real
• 37:36
  team until like Week 4 because of preseason, right?
• 37:40
  And that short week is kind of tough, so we got 10 days to
• 37:44
  prepare for the Raiders coming to Northwest Give.
• 37:48
  Me the dub. I'm right there with you.
• 37:51
  Raiders don't scare me. I don't even know who that
• 37:53
  quarterback is at this point. Exactly.
• 37:56
  Going down to Hotlanta, one O clock game down there and part
• 37:59
  of me actually wanted to go back down just because it was so much
• 38:02
  fun last time. Whooping on them but I'm trying
• 38:04
  to save my cash. We'll see now this is something
• 38:08
  that Atlanta right now, they are like us last year, meaning
• 38:22
  Phoenix is not a bad QB and they solidified a lot of spots on
• 38:29
  their roster. It's going to be a tough one.
• 38:32
  It's it's going to be a tough one and and that Dome can get
• 38:36
  the rocking man. Oh, wow.
• 38:38
  Oh. It does, yeah.
• 38:40
  Oh man, see that that was pass. You got to come back to it.
• 38:45
  All right, all right. I'm actually I'm going to go
• 38:48
  with a dub on that one. OK, OK.
• 38:51
  We got to fly out to LA for 425 against the Chargers.
• 38:59
  Oh, I'm going to say L because the Chargers, the Chargers, man,
• 39:06
  they, they, they're a tough act. Yeah, they've actually gotten a
• 39:09
  lot better with the hardball there, which kind of kills me,
• 39:11
  so I'm going to go L as well. October 13th against the Bears
• 39:18
  Monday night. At home, give me the dub.
• 39:22
  Even, even even though, even though in the words of the Bears
• 39:26
  fans, we should have beat you guys.
• 39:29
  We could have beat you guys, the Bears, all these games that
• 39:33
  we've played against the Bears, they've been basically one score
• 39:36
  games for the last three years. So I'm, I'm, I'm my fingers are
• 39:42
  crossed that this is a dub, but this could be the game that they
• 39:45
  get right even though I don't want them to.
• 39:46
  But I I got to go with the dub at home.
• 39:49
  I just I'm, I'm also there with you, man.
• 39:52
  We we got to win that game, but I don't want it to be a fluke.
• 39:54
  I want to kick their ass right. I I want it to be like the one
• 39:59
  game where they came to our house and just whooped up on us
• 40:01
  and got another freaking pick 6 right before halftime.
• 40:03
  It just. All the Caleb Williams is better
• 40:07
  than Jayden Daniels talk and this and that.
• 40:09
  He's not. If he was, he'd be better,
• 40:13
  right? And people forget that they said
• 40:15
  Caleb was going into the best situation as a rookie
• 40:19
  quarterback than anyone else in the league, right?
• 40:22
  Well, I guess that wasn't the case, right?
• 40:25
  The coach got fired and yeah, you got Ben Johnson now who was
• 40:28
  too scared to even interview with us.
• 40:30
  And look what Jayden did with what we had in our roster.
• 40:32
  So I just wanted to shut them up.
• 40:35
  We fly out to Dallas for a 425. Give me the dub in Dallas,
• 40:41
  something that I hate. Dallas.
• 40:43
  Yeah, I'm right there with you. All right.
• 40:45
  And then? Can't go against the scans
• 40:46
  against Dallas. We got the night game against
• 40:50
  the Chiefs. Buddy Tie.
• 41:01
  Part of me wants to go with a dub or with a dub here just
• 41:05
  because it's it's a night game, but I've just heard so many
• 41:08
  stories about how loud that stadium is and just everything
• 41:12
  else. It's just loud.
• 41:15
  I don't know if we can pull that one off, so I'm going to go with
• 41:17
  an L for that one. We got Seattle coming to town
• 41:20
  for another night game Sunday night.
• 41:22
  Give me the dub, yeah? Right there with you Lions.
• 41:26
  Want some division round Revenge 4 caught game.
• 41:31
  It's going to be a great game. It's going to be a great game.
• 41:37
  I'm going to say it's going to be AL, but we're going to see
• 41:40
  him in the playoffs and beat him again.
• 41:44
  So I'm going with a dub there. I think.
• 41:48
  I think that they're going to get too over hyped and our guys
• 41:52
  staying at home, having two home games in a row, I think we'll
• 41:55
  actually have a chance to rally and take down Detroit.
• 41:59
  So after that we're flying to Madrid. 9:30 AM.
• 42:04
  Eastern against the Dolphins. The Dolphins don't scare me.
• 42:10
  I'm going with the dub. I'm right there with you, man.
• 42:14
  And I, I want, I want them to choreograph the touchdown right
• 42:17
  now because every time I see the Dolphins, I think of that stupid
• 42:21
  roller coaster touchdown at Northwest in our end zone where
• 42:26
  they scrap the damn seat belt on.
• 42:28
  We're like flailing back and forth.
• 42:30
  Come up with something now boys, because I we need something on
• 42:33
  our highlight reel. Different team, different team
• 42:36
  and. Who knows if 2 was going to be
• 42:38
  playing at that point, right? It's that far into the end of
• 42:41
  the season. We've got another Sunday night
• 42:45
  against Denver. And before people ask, I am not
• 42:48
  making Rocky Mountain oysters. So you you ever had those?
• 42:53
  No, I have not. I've heard about them, but I
• 42:55
  have not had them. Do you know what's in them?
• 42:59
  Yeah, I know what's in them. So for those I'm, I'm not even
• 43:01
  going to gross our listeners out.
• 43:03
  Just look it up, look up Rocky Mountain oysters.
• 43:06
  You guys can, just don't do it before you've had dinner or
• 43:11
  something. The the wavos, yeah.
• 43:13
  Yeah, and then reply back to us and let me know if you want to
• 43:17
  have that for a tailgate meal. But night game against the
• 43:21
  Broncos, what are you thinking? I got to go with the dub, even
• 43:27
  though the Denver Broncos have improved tremendously as well.
• 43:32
  But I mean, the commanders are the commanders.
• 43:36
  And so we're going to set the presidents.
• 43:40
  So glad to go with the dub. Yeah, I'm right through with
• 43:43
  you. I towards the end of the season,
• 43:45
  people talk about Bonex being rookie of the year because he
• 43:47
  was starting to do well. Like, no, it's, and I understand
• 43:51
  that the the Pepsi player of the week, you know, or whatever,
• 43:55
  it's it's a fan vote and it is what it is.
• 43:58
  But Jayden was a better quarterback, right?
• 44:01
  This is a chance for Jayden to go head to head against that kid
• 44:04
  in Atlanta, go head to head against Caleb, go head to head
• 44:08
  against Bo Nicks, all these people that had a chance to be
• 44:12
  drafted instead of him and prove that he's the better guy.
• 44:15
  Why are the naysayers? Yeah.
• 44:18
  Yeah, Amen. We got A1 O clock in Minnesota.
• 44:23
  Oh, I'm going with the dub. Minnesota's they, they pretty
• 44:27
  much dismantle their team. So yeah, I'm going with the dub.
• 44:30
  Yeah, they basically have a rookie quarterback.
• 44:32
  I know he got hurt last year and didn't play and he's been on the
• 44:35
  bench, but I just have faith that our boys are going to be
• 44:37
  able to do what we need to do after.
• 44:39
  That now? Now, believe it or not, U.S.
• 44:42
  Bank that stadium can get loud, man.
• 44:45
  Oh yeah, I mean indoor up there. Skull Nation.
• 44:48
  Have you been to it? Nah, that's another one I want
• 44:50
  to go to. But like I talked about earlier,
• 44:53
  Green Bay, I have no desire to go to Minnesota in December.
• 44:57
  Oh, dude. Minnesota's nice, man.
• 44:59
  Minnesota's nice. To me it's about tailgating and
• 45:02
  I know they link all the tents together, right?
• 45:05
  And they make like a tailgate tunnel with all the tents and
• 45:07
  everything else. I just, I'm not going to enjoy
• 45:10
  myself. Being OK, but you know yourself
• 45:13
  better than anybody does. I mean you might be able.
• 45:15
  To talk me into it when it gets closer.
• 45:17
  I have enough home for you bro. You probably will, except I
• 45:22
  mean, I also probably need to sleep a little bit because I
• 45:24
  don't sleep on those away games. But New York in December, get a
• 45:29
  chance to go up there and see a Rockefeller all decorated and
• 45:33
  everything for Christmas. I might be tempted to take the
• 45:36
  train up there and do that one. Or if you got a bus, go up with
• 45:39
  you. But are you thinking a dub or an
• 45:41
  L for that one? Got to go with the suite.
• 45:44
  Yeah, agreed. But this week?
• 45:49
  And then we've got the Saturday game against the freaking Eagles
• 45:53
  coming to Northwest. Time is TBD.
• 45:56
  What are you thinking? And.
• 46:00
  That's the first time we play them right.
• 46:02
  It's we don't play till December 20th.
• 46:05
  It's just so late in the season to not see them, which kills me
• 46:08
  because if we beat them, they're going to bitch because oh, our
• 46:12
  team was banged up, we weren't healthy.
• 46:14
  I. Don't think about that with
• 46:15
  them. Any other team I might, yeah.
• 46:19
  But now with the Eagles, I don't care about that.
• 46:23
  I'm going to actually go with the L.
• 46:28
  All right, I'm going to I'm going to say Dub there.
• 46:32
  You're coming back to our house. I think we we just performed
• 46:35
  better than we did. And it's revenge from 55 to 23.
• 46:38
  Man, that still hurts me at Northwest Christmas Day.
• 46:46
  Against the boys, I got to go with the dub.
• 46:49
  Girls, but yeah. Yeah.
• 46:52
  I'm going with the dub as well, man.
• 46:53
  I think we sweep them this year, right?
• 46:56
  I just don't have a ton of faith in them.
• 46:58
  I don't care if they got pickings from us, you know,
• 47:01
  Pittsburgh, whatever else. And then TBD going back up to
• 47:06
  Philly last game of the season. I'm going with the dub in their
• 47:10
  house. I'm going with an L, I don't
• 47:14
  know how that's going to be. I'm, I'm trying to talk to
• 47:17
  myself and say we're taking the L because we've already clinched
• 47:19
  the division and we're sitting Jaden and a couple of our guys.
• 47:23
  So maybe that's why you going to plan a rally up in Philly.
• 47:32
  If. It's TBD is a problem, so it
• 47:34
  could be Saturday, could be Sunday, we don't know.
• 47:36
  Yeah, that's what it boils down to.
• 47:38
  And it depends. It it's what it what it really
• 47:40
  boils down to is how many people do I have on my bus trip.
• 47:44
  If I have enough people, my bus trip, then no, I won't do a
• 47:47
  rally because I've got to be on the bus.
• 47:51
  Yeah. So, but if, if, if people do
• 47:55
  what they said they were going to do in which they vowed never
• 47:59
  to go back to Philadelphia, not because there was any violence
• 48:02
  or anything like that, just because they, they didn't want
• 48:04
  to hear the name calling they got tired of, of basically 60
• 48:07
  minutes or 55 minutes worth of name calling.
• 48:10
  So I don't foresee there being a large crowd, even though I, I
• 48:15
  will be putting a bus trip together for it.
• 48:18
  So look out for that. But for the most part, if it
• 48:22
  doesn't happen, oh, I'll, I'll be up there that night before
• 48:25
  and we will have a rally and it can be at the Hard Rock again.
• 48:29
  You you, you plan it, you do whatever you got to do.
• 48:32
  I've been having people ask and text and they're actually
• 48:35
  talking about it on B Mitch and Finley.
• 48:37
  So you know, we got to go back and take that place over blah,
• 48:39
  blah, blah. But I want to go man Missus
• 48:42
  tailgate right now is definitely not happy about it on top of the
• 48:46
  fact that I'm I'm missing Christmas.
• 48:47
  So we'll see how that goes. But totalling all this up, you
• 48:52
  got twelve wins somehow. I have 13.
• 48:58
  All right, I guess. Oh, actually.
• 49:00
  Oh, no, no, no, no. OK, we don't have your your
• 49:02
  Falcons pick in. So, OK.
• 49:04
  So after having some time to think about, I mean we, we call
• 49:07
  that, we call that ATL Northwest.
• 49:12
  So that's when we're going to get the dub down in Atlanta.
• 49:16
  That's crazy, man. We got the same wins except you
• 49:19
  got a tie in there so you got us at 13 and one, 2-3 and one.
• 49:27
  So I'm I definitely want to come back and take a look at this
• 49:31
  later on and also after we get through preseason to see how
• 49:35
  things go with the roster, see if we change our minds.
• 49:38
  The over under for us, I want to say, is 9 1/2 wins this season
• 49:44
  on FanDuel. So last I checked, I'm actually
• 49:48
  just logged back in. Yeah, it's 9 1/2 wins.
• 49:52
  And if you put down, let's just say to help pay for offset the
• 50:00
  money I lost on all those playoff tickets.
• 50:03
  So if you put down $100 for us to go over 9 1/2 wins, that will
• 50:11
  earn you $95.24. So or you can go with the
• 50:18
  alternate line of I want to say it is 11, which you and I still
• 50:23
  think is going to happen. Yeah, over 11 1/2 is plus 280.
• 50:30
  So it plus 280. If you put down $100, you get
• 50:35
  280 bucks. So just choose around math.
• 50:40
  I'm going to have to put someone down there and obviously some of
• 50:43
  these things are going to change, right?
• 50:44
  I mean, who? No one thought we were going to
• 50:47
  beat the freaking Bengals up there on that.
• 50:51
  Oh yeah, I got paid that game. So I got paid that game.
• 50:55
  I'm hoping you and I get surprised and we end up beating
• 50:58
  KC and see how that goes. And you know, hopefully they
• 51:02
  just don't choke against Denver or something back at home.
• 51:04
  But man, I just I can't wait, I cannot wait for this to freaking
• 51:09
  happen. The fact that we got these
• 51:12
  awesome away games, these Rd. trips, make sure you all book
• 51:16
  those with rally or jump on there and take advantage of
• 51:18
  that. But did you did you see the
• 51:22
  latest about the players being in the Olympics?
• 51:27
  Yeah. And you know what?
• 51:29
  I say let them. I say let them because basically
• 51:33
  what? What they've turned the All Star
• 51:36
  game into is a flag football game.
• 51:37
  And how many guys got hurt playing flag football for the
• 51:40
  All Star Game? I don't think any did.
• 51:42
  If it if it was, it was very minimal.
• 51:44
  So I say let them play. So the owners just unanimously
• 51:49
  approved it and this is going to be for the 2028 Olympics in LA.
• 51:54
  So they're saying it will let active players participate in
• 51:57
  Olympic flag football during the Summer Olympics in LA.
• 52:00
  The PA has said it supports the measure of many players have
• 52:02
  expressed interest in playing. Every country that fields a flag
• 52:06
  football team in Olympics is expected to have a try out
• 52:08
  process. Active NFL players will
• 52:10
  participate in that process, with most trying out for Team
• 52:13
  USA, but some players with ties to other countries expressing
• 52:17
  interest as well. Olympic flag football will have
• 52:20
  six men's teams and six women's teams with 10 players per team.
• 52:24
  The game uses A5 on five format, so the teams will likely include
• 52:28
  a quarterback and four offensive skill position players and five
• 52:31
  defensive players. Every country with a flag
• 52:34
  football team will have a minute will have a maximum of one
• 52:39
  player per NFL roster. No teammates can be Olympic
• 52:44
  teammates, so Jaden and Terry can't be on the team together.
• 52:51
  Not that that's a good thing. I, I guess they just, they want
• 52:54
  to hedge their bets just in case someone gets hurt.
• 52:56
  And I'm all for it, man. I'm, I'm happy that NFL players
• 53:01
  finally get a chance to, you know, represent their country
• 53:04
  and get a gold medal in the Olympics.
• 53:06
  And then we all know what happens in basketball.
• 53:08
  You know, it happened in hockey prior.
• 53:11
  So let the guys get a chance. But the fact that it is in the
• 53:15
  summertime, they're saying it's not supposed to interfere with
• 53:18
  training camp. So it's just before they report
• 53:22
  the training camp. So should be good from that
• 53:26
  perspective. I just hope that everything is
• 53:30
  kosher and if let's just say Jaden is in it, he doesn't get
• 53:34
  something tweaked or something banged up right before training
• 53:37
  camp starts and then sets him back or something like that.
• 53:40
  Just go in the season because that's the only concern I have
• 53:42
  and the only thing I see with this being an issue.
• 53:46
  Speaking of training camp, who do you think's going to have
• 53:49
  Hard Knocks this year? That's your question, man.
• 53:55
  It's going to be us. You know it's going to, you know
• 54:00
  it's going to be us. Dude, come on.
• 54:02
  The NFL has basically swayed the commander's way, and right now
• 54:08
  it's all things commanders. And what better way to kick this
• 54:11
  thing off than us being on Hard Knocks?
• 54:16
  Yeah, we are eligible even though we made the playoffs
• 54:18
  because they changed that rule. So I you think I actually don't
• 54:23
  mind it. I think you could be right.
• 54:24
  I, it would be interesting to see because there's just so many
• 54:28
  things happening for this team. The fact that we're getting the
• 54:31
  NFL draft, you know, in two years and everything else your.
• 54:36
  Stadium, I mean, I, I, I see this story with the NFL voice
• 54:41
  guy saying they came from the dregs of society and all of a
• 54:48
  sudden they're back. You know, I mean, I, I see
• 54:51
  something like that happening, You know, them showing RFK Field
• 54:55
  being torn off, if they're being torn down, where Ashburn came
• 55:01
  from to where they are now. I mean, there's so many
• 55:04
  storylines that they can tell about.
• 55:05
  I foresee, and I don't know for sure, but I foresee it being us.
• 55:10
  So these are a list of teams that have never appeared on Hard
• 55:13
  docks, the Bills, the Broncos, the Steelers, the Jaguars, the
• 55:19
  Titans, the Eagles and us, right?
• 55:22
  That's only seven teams that haven't ever been on there.
• 55:26
  So, and I think depending on the rules, some of these teams might
• 55:30
  be ineligible, but they might be OK.
• 55:33
  I haven't looked exactly, but you know what?
• 55:36
  I'm, I'm fine with it, man. Let us be on it.
• 55:39
  I'll, I'll be good with that. Just because they can see how
• 55:41
  much improved we are from beforehand.
• 55:44
  And if anything, it's just going to piss everyone else off
• 55:47
  because we're getting the love and they're not.
• 55:49
  There you go and that's that. You set a mouthful.
• 55:51
  Right now teams are hot or teams fans are hot with us because
• 55:57
  we're getting all the pub and they're not.
• 56:00
  They're they're jealous because he ain't us, man.
• 56:02
  And that's. Right.
• 56:03
  Man, I, I was on my Instagram, you can restrict accounts,
• 56:08
  right? And I've just just go back down
• 56:10
  to the hate and this and that. Like, you know what I'm looking
• 56:13
  through, I'm scrolling through. She was on the weekends because
• 56:14
  I was posting some pictures from the beach and just a bunch of

• 56:43
  these freaking whatever fans up. So.
