- 0:45Speaker 5: the one of Will Compton here for your favorite show
- 0:48Speaker 5: involving a bus.
- 0:49Speaker 2: How we're not on a bus. We're not on a bus.
- 0:51Speaker 2: We we are out in Chicago right now shooting a
- 0:53Speaker 2: little late Sunday night.
- 0:54Speaker 5: Sunday Night. Sunday Night Football is actually going on right now.
- 0:57Speaker 5: The Falcons are up against the Patrick Mahomes Kansas City Chiefs.
- 1:01Speaker 5: One minute left, Patrick Mahomes driving. Haven't seen what happens there.
- 1:03Speaker 2: Have not seen what happens.
- 1:04Speaker 5: So if you solely came to this episode to find
- 1:07Speaker 5: out what happened in Sunday Night Football, unfortunately we don't

- 1:13Speaker 5: I will tell you this. We have been doing this
- 1:16Speaker 5: for a month now, dude, telling people to subscribe. At
- 1:20Speaker 5: the beginning of the show, and it's repetitive, it's redundant,
- 1:23Speaker 5: it's all the things that could cause the everyday viewer
- 1:26Speaker 5: to be like, come on, guys, let's stop begging. But
- 1:28Speaker 5: it works. We're noticing that new viewers when we just

- 1:36Speaker 5: your life at all?
- 1:36Speaker 1: No?
- 1:37Speaker 5: Does it change our life at all? Absolutely? Yes. So
- 1:40Speaker 5: let's just get that out of the way. Shame must ask.
- 1:42Speaker 5: Go and press that subscribe button. And while you do,
- 1:45Speaker 5: I'm going to tell you about the most durable, reliable
- 1:47Speaker 5: vehicle on the world road, and that is the Chevy Svado,
- 1:50Speaker 5: which we are presented by. There's a reason why you've
- 1:53Speaker 5: never done a tier talk of best pickup trucks, and
- 1:55Speaker 5: that's because for busting with the boys, there's only one
- 1:58Speaker 5: pickup truck that is the Chevy Sierrado. Why is that?

- 3:21Speaker 5: it's Sunday. I've been You guys have noticed. I've been
- 3:24Speaker 5: out of town, doing some stuff in Arizona, doing some
- 3:27Speaker 5: stuff in Vegas. Can't really break down the stuff in Arizona,
- 3:30Speaker 5: but if you want to, I can definitely break down
- 3:32Speaker 5: the stuff in Vegas.
- 3:32Speaker 2: They could also watch the vlog we just dropped last Friday,
- 3:36Speaker 2: and if they're doing some good numbers right now, is it?
- 3:38Speaker 5: Yeah? I have looked. I was just happy because to me,
- 3:41Speaker 5: every time I go to Vegas, it's essentially like please God,
- 3:43Speaker 5: boys watch this so I can keep.
- 3:45Speaker 2: Going to base.
- 3:46Speaker 5: Yeah, they continue to get right the minute those numbers
- 3:48Speaker 5: start to drop the rest of the boys, but like,
- 3:50Speaker 5: do you still need to go? And it's like, mentally, yes,
- 3:53Speaker 5: I have. I actually I genuinely have an issue with
- 3:56Speaker 5: playing cards now. I genuinely have that addictive personality and
- 4:00Speaker 5: it's really just affected me in a big way. But yeah,
- 4:02Speaker 5: the vlog, I thought Jackie JP. Everybody who put their
- 4:06Speaker 5: fingers on that that editing process did an amazing job
- 4:09Speaker 5: because it's a lot of fun to watch.
- 4:11Speaker 2: Going back to you were reading the Chevy Silverado ad
- 4:14Speaker 2: and right before the show, we were talking about you
- 4:16Speaker 2: being in the market for a big boy.
- 4:17Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you think about going So we had we
- 4:20Speaker 5: we've we've had conversations about what trucks look best, and I, dude,
- 4:23Speaker 5: I love your ZR two. I think it's so sick.
- 4:27Speaker 5: Here's my problem. I have a like a weird thing.
- 4:29Speaker 2: One we could get uniform uniform tru Yeah, I like us.
- 4:33Speaker 5: That does fire me up a little bit. But like
- 4:35Speaker 5: for me, it's like I want a truck, but with
- 4:38Speaker 5: just a little Taylor twist to it. I wanted something
- 4:40Speaker 5: that you know, lets me say it's mine and it's
- 4:42Speaker 5: special to me. Yeah, I chose to do this. Now
- 4:44Speaker 5: you can do that with the lift and of everything
- 4:46Speaker 5: like that. But I see so many ZR twos out there,
- 4:49Speaker 5: and the next week I so.
- 4:51Speaker 2: You say so many, There's not so many.
- 4:54Speaker 5: See a lot, dude. Like I said, Vegas, Arizona. I
- 4:56Speaker 5: just feel like.
- 4:57Speaker 2: People listen to the show. People listen to the show,
- 5:00Speaker 2: talk about the.
- 5:01Speaker 5: And they're like, I gotta give me some of that.
- 5:02Speaker 5: And it is a beautiful vehicle. All those cameras and
- 5:04Speaker 5: everything are incredible, But I just I see so many
- 5:07Speaker 5: of them out there. And I've always been a guy
- 5:10Speaker 5: that admired a diesel. I've always been a guy that
- 5:12Speaker 5: saw a cowboy on the ranch get into his diesel
- 5:16Speaker 5: truck with his dog in the back and suck to myself, Fuck,
- 5:19Speaker 5: he's cool. I want to be cool too, So I
- 5:22Speaker 5: think I believe in my heart the next truck I
- 5:25Speaker 5: get is going to be a diesel truck with a
- 5:26Speaker 5: twenty five hundred or a thirty five hundred. But then
- 5:28Speaker 5: we got onto this conversation. Yeah, and essentially you'll find
- 5:32Speaker 5: out that Will and I are probably saying the same things,
- 5:34Speaker 5: just with different lenses of glasses on. But my thought
- 5:37Speaker 5: process is when you see a twenty five hundred, you
- 5:41Speaker 5: see a guy with a truck, you think there's a man,
- 5:44Speaker 5: that's a guy, that's a dude. Yeah, you see a
- 5:46Speaker 5: guy with a twenty five hundred, thirty five hundred diesel truck,
- 5:50Speaker 5: you think all the things he thought about the guy
- 5:52Speaker 5: with the truck, But just maybe like a little bit
- 5:54Speaker 5: more like shit, maybe, hey, what's he up to?
- 5:58Speaker 1: What?
- 5:58Speaker 5: My guy's so handed?
- 5:59Speaker 2: But the the concept of it is, it's like that
- 6:04Speaker 2: man has a real blue collar job.
- 6:07Speaker 5: Yeah, and you're sitting up in a diesel.
- 6:10Speaker 2: Diesel, I think it's featured your body, your size and
- 6:13Speaker 2: all that stuff. You're a man.
- 6:14Speaker 5: I'm a man.
- 6:15Speaker 2: But believe it's that's the perception I get when I
- 6:19Speaker 2: see somebody ripping around in a diesel. It's like, Okay,
- 6:22Speaker 2: they got.
- 6:22Speaker 5: They get their hands, they work with their hands.
- 6:25Speaker 2: What's saying it's like all hat no cattle, Like guys
- 6:28Speaker 2: with diesels. I'm just assuming they're all cattle. Yeah, to
- 6:31Speaker 2: go with the cattle. Yeah, yeah, I'm with you. If
- 6:33Speaker 2: you're ripping around in a diesel, I'm thinking you know.
- 6:35Speaker 5: Me too well to know that I have no Yeah,
- 6:37Speaker 5: there's cattle, no trousers, no cattle.
- 6:40Speaker 1: Whatever.
- 6:41Speaker 5: The bad version is, I'm you're so you're calling me
- 6:44Speaker 5: if we're in middle school, you call me a poser.
- 6:47Speaker 5: I'm not taking as an insult, but that's what's happening
- 6:49Speaker 5: right now.
- 6:49Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 6:52Speaker 5: And now now I have to go into the mental
- 6:54Speaker 5: struggle of waiting the pros and cons is will my
- 6:57Speaker 5: best friend thinking of me as a poser affect my purchase?
- 7:00Speaker 5: And honestly, it's fifty to fifty right now.
- 7:02Speaker 2: It's really a.
- 7:03Speaker 5: Coin flip or whether or not I changed.
- 7:05Speaker 2: But maybe I just want you to get his ZR two,
- 7:07Speaker 2: So I know we're just we got a duo going on.
- 7:08Speaker 5: I know that would be and you have you have,
- 7:11Speaker 5: in my opinion, the best one because there's a lot
- 7:13Speaker 5: of different colors you can have. Yeah. And there was
- 7:15Speaker 5: one vehicle creator, we won't say the vehicle careator he was,
- 7:18Speaker 5: but he had a famous quote that said, you could
- 7:20Speaker 5: have any color you want as long as it's black. Yeah,
- 7:22Speaker 5: And that is a tried and true statement for you
- 7:24Speaker 5: when it comes to vehicles.
- 7:25Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd like to get some tires on it, some differents, different.
- 7:28Speaker 5: Wheel tires, and I like a little I like a
- 7:30Speaker 5: inch quarter and a half inches like space of the tires.
- 7:33Speaker 5: They kind of come out of the wheelbells a little bit,
- 7:34Speaker 5: just a little. It gives that bulldog a lot, Yeah,
- 7:37Speaker 5: just a little, like you can't be pushing this truck around. Yeah, Yeah,
- 7:41Speaker 5: I'm with you on that. Do you want to talk
- 7:43Speaker 5: about the good or you want talk about the bad.
- 7:46Speaker 5: What is it your choice subject, that's your choice, good
- 7:48Speaker 5: or bad.
- 7:48Speaker 2: Let's get the bad news the other way for Nebraska dog,
- 7:53Speaker 2: I thought, you're gonna go Titans.
- 7:55Speaker 5: We'll talk about them too, because that is that's the good,
- 7:57Speaker 5: the bad, and the ugly. That's the ugly.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I won't lie. I was very bothered after
- 8:03Speaker 2: we lost. I took it like everybody else, the boys
- 8:06Speaker 2: on the field, in the locker room, in the stadium,
- 8:08Speaker 2: the fans everywhere all over the world. That was a
- 8:11Speaker 2: tough loss for us. And it sucks because we had
- 8:14Speaker 2: like ten penalties. Felt like we were a little self sabotaging.
- 8:19Speaker 2: We're going on the game winning drive. The boy Dylan,
- 8:22Speaker 2: who is a stud still he is a stud. He
- 8:25Speaker 2: is the guy. But we have a tight end running
- 8:28Speaker 2: open in the end zone. Going to the end zone.
- 8:30Speaker 2: He just overthrows him a little bit.
- 8:31Speaker 5: That hurt.
- 8:32Speaker 2: Not near as bad as the missfield little wide left.
- 8:35Speaker 2: We had about a thirty five yarder to go up
- 8:37Speaker 2: three very late in the game. We didn't hit that.
- 8:41Speaker 2: We didn't hit that touchdown. We had a fifty to
- 8:43Speaker 2: fifty ball go up earlier in the game that turned
- 8:47Speaker 2: into an interception in the end zone. Great ball, great
- 8:49Speaker 2: going up to get it. The defender made a great play.
- 8:52Speaker 2: He came down with an interception. So it's like thinking
- 8:55Speaker 2: of those things. It sucks because we know we're the
- 8:57Speaker 2: better ball club. However, we did not come we we
- 9:00Speaker 2: don't shoot ourselves on the foot. We blow our foot
- 9:02Speaker 2: off and overtime start with the penalty. Dylan's just getting
- 9:06Speaker 2: eight up in the backfield like it was gobbled up, dude, yeah,
- 9:10Speaker 2: gobbled gobbled no pause, no diddy, yeah, no diddy.
- 9:15Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 9:16Speaker 2: And it was, uh, it sucked, man, Like I was.
- 9:20Speaker 2: I had a little birthday dinner. They wheeled in the
- 9:23Speaker 2: TV for us so we could watch the game. Everybody
- 9:26Speaker 2: else is having a good time. I'm dialed into the
- 9:27Speaker 2: football game. And we lost that game, and it was,
- 9:31Speaker 2: uh yeah, it felt like any other loss I've taken
- 9:35Speaker 2: on the football field because I feel like I'm just
- 9:37Speaker 2: a part of this team. I feel like I'm a
- 9:39Speaker 2: part of the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
- 9:41Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 9:41Speaker 5: But yeah, and as an outsider perspective, this loss, you
- 9:45Speaker 5: guys have lost a lot of games in recent years, Like, so,
- 9:50Speaker 5: you guys have gotten your ass beats so many Yeah.
- 9:53Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, like I know I know, I know,
- 9:55Speaker 2: I know, I know.
- 9:56Speaker 5: Yes, it's been so but it's not the same. It's
- 9:58Speaker 5: not it's not dude. This is you had a tweet
- 10:02Speaker 5: you put out either Saturday night or Sunday morning, like
- 10:05Speaker 5: I think we needed that, and you're like, who, what
- 10:07Speaker 5: the fuck am I saying? I'm so lost right now.
- 10:08Speaker 2: That was close to midnight on Friday night, So still
- 10:11Speaker 2: trying to process the lass.
- 10:12Speaker 5: Yeah, truly, like you got yourself a good ball club now,
- 10:16Speaker 5: a Matt Rule ball club plays good, hard nose poised football.
- 10:21Speaker 5: To have ten penalties, he's unacceptable. And the think good
- 10:24Speaker 5: thing is maybe your boys in the last couple of
- 10:27Speaker 5: years wouldn't have noticed that it was unacceptable. These boys,
- 10:30Speaker 5: the ones in this locker room, understand that, Hey, we're
- 10:34Speaker 5: all disappointed, and we all know why we're disappointed because
- 10:36Speaker 5: the expectation is the expectation and so you juiced this
- 10:41Speaker 5: is exactly what Nebraska needed and unfortunately, guess what, you're
- 10:44Speaker 5: not going undefeed it anymore. Boo whoo, who cares? How
- 10:47Speaker 5: to deal with that? A couple of weeks ago? Here,
- 10:49Speaker 5: what you do? You watch the film, you get after
- 10:52Speaker 5: it and you play hard nose Nebraska football from here
- 10:54Speaker 5: on out. And now here's where I think your win is.
- 10:58Speaker 5: We talked about this on the plane. Ohio State has Oregon,
- 11:01Speaker 5: then y'all, then Penn State. If you're going into that
- 11:04Speaker 5: game seven and zero, that's not a sleeper. Hey, maybe
- 11:08Speaker 5: we'll watch these boys out of the way to make
- 11:10Speaker 5: can't coast through it. They're going to play an undefeated
- 11:12Speaker 5: Oregon team.
- 11:13Speaker 2: Well flying across the country. Organ's undefeated.
- 11:16Speaker 5: Oh yeah, but I don't know if he'll be undefated
- 11:17Speaker 5: because they have to play Michigan. I don't know when
- 11:18Speaker 5: they play Michigan. They play on one loss Oregon team.
- 11:22Speaker 5: Just to cover my basis, Oregon's good ball club. Then
- 11:26Speaker 5: they play y'all and they're like, oh, they lost to Illinois.
- 11:29Speaker 5: They lost. They were ten point favorites, they lost to them.
- 11:31Speaker 5: That's a bad ball club.
- 11:32Speaker 2: The Illinois is not a bad ball club.
- 11:35Speaker 5: They don't know. People in the Big Ten do not
- 11:37Speaker 5: respect Illinois.
- 11:38Speaker 2: Then watch the show. They would know that Illinois is
- 11:42Speaker 2: not a bad ball club. They're a tough ball club.
- 11:46Speaker 2: They take on the personality of their head coach. They
- 11:48Speaker 2: run the football well. They ran the football very successfully
- 11:50Speaker 2: against US, which sucked. Sucked because we have a good defense. Yeah,
- 11:55Speaker 2: but Illinois is not a team to sleep on. You
- 11:57Speaker 2: guys got to play Illinois. Yeah, that ain't just gonna be.
- 11:59Speaker 2: That ain't just a fat w in the in the column,
- 12:02Speaker 2: in the w W in the call.
- 12:05Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
- 12:06Speaker 5: Hear what you're saying. You got a we can talk about, Well,
- 12:09Speaker 5: we'll talk about that said, we're talk about Nebraska.
- 12:11Speaker 2: Right, you're right, I'm with you. Makeup of this team,
- 12:16Speaker 2: this is one where everybody in that locker room, in
- 12:19Speaker 2: those four walls, they are very disappointed. They know that
- 12:21Speaker 2: it's not Nebraska football. That's not how they do things.
- 12:24Speaker 2: They're going they're going to get back to work because
- 12:27Speaker 2: there is no time to bleed out right now, no
- 12:30Speaker 2: time your wounds quick. We gotta show up. We gotta
- 12:34Speaker 2: show because we're going into Purdue this week. We gotta
- 12:36Speaker 2: beat the rest. It is a bad week to be
- 12:37Speaker 2: a boiler Maker.
- 12:38Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 12:39Speaker 2: Well if Indiana, Indiana's again, is not another team to
- 12:41Speaker 2: sleep on.
- 12:42Speaker 5: They just they're always a team that puts up like
- 12:43Speaker 5: fifty points.
- 12:44Speaker 2: Again, right, and they have like you know, you think
- 12:46Speaker 2: Indiana they have the brand that's not very but Jamie
- 12:49Speaker 2: was a great football team. Last year, that staff goes
- 12:51Speaker 2: to Indiana, they're mopping, They're mopping folks. They killed u C.
- 12:55Speaker 2: L A, which UCLA played a tough game against LSU. Now,
- 12:58Speaker 2: whether or not LSU is actually a good team is
- 13:00Speaker 2: yet Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, But Indiana again, it is
- 13:03Speaker 2: not a team to sleep on. I think obviously I'm
- 13:05Speaker 2: looking at I can't wait to bounce back. I hope
- 13:07Speaker 2: it's we win. Ohiose saying stuff like that, but we
- 13:09Speaker 2: still gotta we gotta get better this.
- 13:10Speaker 5: We gotta put you to put in a coffin.
- 13:12Speaker 2: Yeah, we gotta put them in a fucking cough.
- 13:15Speaker 5: You're saying the same thing that everybody who watches this
- 13:17Speaker 5: show knows. The Big the Big Ten is the best conference.
- 13:20Speaker 5: We have a conference, most put together conference.
- 13:22Speaker 2: Now, just not the gloss over it, because we know
- 13:25Speaker 2: we are homers for our conference. But the SEC at
- 13:28Speaker 2: the top is tough.
- 13:30Speaker 5: Yeah, at the top, at the top.
- 13:32Speaker 2: Georgia, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Yeah, Tennessee, Old Miss Tennessee beat
- 13:39Speaker 2: the hell out of Oklahoma.
- 13:40Speaker 5: Yeah, handle them, handle them. And I said to see
- 13:43Speaker 5: you earlier. I think Tennessee, I think balls. Countries got
- 13:46Speaker 5: a lot to be excited about right now. Yeah, we'll
- 13:48Speaker 5: find out October nineteenth.
- 13:50Speaker 2: Alabama, Alabama. I wonder who they have before then, yes, usually.
- 13:57Speaker 1: Or nothing.
- 13:58Speaker 5: Yeah, but I'll just assume they don't play Georgia or
- 14:01Speaker 5: Ole Miss. They might though before then. I think they
- 14:05Speaker 5: do pull that up. All we'll just keep talking. All
- 14:08Speaker 5: that to be said. I see Nebraska upsetting Ohio State
- 14:11Speaker 5: in a few weeks, which makes me really excited. I
- 14:12Speaker 5: think that I think that's a big one Ohio State deserves.
- 14:15Speaker 5: They just paid for their their you know, they paid
- 14:17Speaker 5: for their success, and that's not an admirable thing to have.
- 14:21Speaker 5: You're you're right.
- 14:22Speaker 2: They go to and Tennessee goes to Arkansas next week,
- 14:24Speaker 2: and then they host Florida and then Alabama. So yeah,
- 14:27Speaker 2: they should handle businesses, they.
- 14:28Speaker 5: Should handle business. They got to.
- 14:30Speaker 2: Now.
- 14:30Speaker 5: I know Florida's ship. I know that it's a bad
- 14:33Speaker 5: ball club down there. I don't know exactly what town.
- 14:35Speaker 2: It is, but.
- 14:37Speaker 5: That's that's a trap game, you think, so for Tennessee.
- 14:41Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I.
- 14:41Speaker 5: Mean college ball. Florida's ass, they everyone knows their ass
- 14:48Speaker 5: were disrespect to the Gators. They're looking Yeah, and so
- 14:53Speaker 5: it's kind of one of those things like Tennessee just
- 14:55Speaker 5: better buck up for that one. Yeah, just do what
- 14:57Speaker 5: they did at Chattanooga and be up fifty points at halftime.
- 15:01Speaker 5: That's that's what we really want to do.
- 15:03Speaker 1: Jo.
- 15:03Speaker 5: Yeah, we got out of it. We feel good about Nebraska,
- 15:05Speaker 5: we feel good about birthday party, and you sat there.
- 15:08Speaker 2: But again, where we're in a position to where this
- 15:11Speaker 2: type of team, this outfit that we have, we could
- 15:13Speaker 2: easily been a spot, be in a spot later in
- 15:15Speaker 2: the year to where we look back at this Illinois
- 15:17Speaker 2: game and say that was the best thing that ever
- 15:19Speaker 2: happened to us, right right, because I know you're right
- 15:24Speaker 2: and high. Yeah, you know what, you're right high to
- 15:28Speaker 2: where you're saying we're gonna beat We're gonna mop Oregon,
- 15:30Speaker 2: We're gonna you know not, who else do you got?
- 15:33Speaker 5: You don't know what's changing my narrative, how much my
- 15:36Speaker 5: narrative change.
- 15:37Speaker 2: It hasn't.
- 15:39Speaker 5: It hasn't. I literally said, I said two weeks ago
- 15:42Speaker 5: on the podcast, right after Texas, you're looking at a
- 15:44Speaker 5: ten to one football team going against the hot state.
- 15:46Speaker 5: Right now, everything I said plays USC comes in. They
- 15:50Speaker 5: put org in now Orgy, we played football on Saturday
- 15:56Speaker 5: and just pretended like the forward pass didn't exist. We played, Yeah,
- 16:03Speaker 5: we we played how to win a game our defense,
- 16:07Speaker 5: I mean guys with the run game and one and
- 16:11Speaker 5: won the game. This Mullen Mullions Mullens kid. This kid
- 16:16Speaker 5: started twenty games at linebacker for the University of Michigan,
- 16:19Speaker 5: then popped on over to the offensive side of the
- 16:20Speaker 5: ball and is now the featured back. I feel terrible
- 16:22Speaker 5: for Donovan Edwards. I don't know, I don't know what's
- 16:24Speaker 5: going on. I think he's an absolute stud. He's gonna
- 16:26Speaker 5: be just fine. That being said, Mullens is the cat
- 16:29Speaker 5: that's now toting the rock. Had that thing thirty times
- 16:31Speaker 5: last game for one hundred and ffty nine yards. The
- 16:33Speaker 5: kid is our offense right now. A couple that in
- 16:35Speaker 5: with a little RPO with with Orgy. What we want Minnesota.
- 16:40Speaker 5: We want to take that step. We want Orgy. I
- 16:42Speaker 5: want to see Orgy in the air a little bit more.
- 16:44Speaker 5: I want to see him showing some short to intermediate passes.
- 16:47Speaker 5: You don't need to take top.
- 16:48Speaker 2: Off, but this is where he's got to show some growth,
- 16:50Speaker 2: right because you guys, number one, the defense smacked USC.
- 16:55Speaker 5: In the mouth in the mouth.
- 16:57Speaker 2: But talking real is you want to see Orgy make
- 17:00Speaker 2: progress in the passing game, because even though you guys
- 17:04Speaker 2: can win games running the ball and playing tough defense
- 17:06Speaker 2: like you just did, when you go against the Organs
- 17:09Speaker 2: of the world. Yeah, I mean, I'll go ahead, Illinois
- 17:11Speaker 2: undefeated right now, but Oregon's Ohio States of the world,
- 17:14Speaker 2: You're gonna have to Yeah, You're gonna have to be
- 17:18Speaker 2: able to you it'd be insane not to believe that
- 17:20Speaker 2: you're not going to be down by ten points at some.
- 17:23Speaker 5: Point in the season, right And you have to have
- 17:25Speaker 5: the ability to be multi dimensional to be able to
- 17:28Speaker 5: push the ball down the field and score points. I
- 17:30Speaker 5: completely understand that. I think everybody walked into that game
- 17:33Speaker 5: with Michigan being four and a half point underdogs and
- 17:36Speaker 5: expected a Texas Michigan game like USC oh for sure. Yeah,
- 17:41Speaker 5: I thought everyone felt that way, and I felt the
- 17:43Speaker 5: haters feeling that way. Everyone was looking their chops. I
- 17:45Speaker 5: know everybody in East Lansing was feeling so great Columbus Ohio.
- 17:48Speaker 5: Everyone had that game turned on. I know everyone was ready.
- 17:51Speaker 5: Not only was everyone was ready to put Michigan in
- 17:53Speaker 5: the ground. They six feet under everyone.
- 17:55Speaker 2: But also not it wasn't just the haterman, but also
- 18:00Speaker 2: what you guys have shown up until the USC game
- 18:03Speaker 2: was kind of like damn, Like, yeah, this is a
- 18:06Speaker 2: massive fall right now what they're showing from what they're showing, Yeah,
- 18:12Speaker 2: you win by ten points. It's like, damn, they might
- 18:15Speaker 2: not have a squad this year because when Nick Marks
- 18:17Speaker 2: was on, it's like, you know, we're going around and
- 18:19Speaker 2: you're potentially thinking in your mind, this might be a
- 18:23Speaker 2: five loss miss. They were right, and I know I
- 18:25Speaker 2: know you, I know you weren't.
- 18:27Speaker 5: To because his bitch ass opinions were terrible on the
- 18:30Speaker 5: bus right like for him just but the the good
- 18:33Speaker 5: thing about his old man as old man is out there,
- 18:35Speaker 5: he was I want to believe what Taylor believes. I
- 18:37Speaker 5: want that feeling. And it's like, brother, it's that easy.
- 18:39Speaker 5: You just turn off logic in your head and you
- 18:41Speaker 5: just move on.
- 18:42Speaker 2: Yeah, turn off logic.
- 18:44Speaker 5: That's what That's why I've learned being a fan of football.
- 18:46Speaker 5: You can't You got to be able to find the
- 18:48Speaker 5: will conference spin.
- 18:49Speaker 2: You have to find the optimism right and right now
- 18:51Speaker 2: in a world where everybody wants to feed into that
- 18:54Speaker 2: hate and just be pessimistic about everything.
- 18:56Speaker 5: Everything I've said about Michigan football post Tech is still
- 19:00Speaker 5: in play. Nothing has changed, Nothing has changed. Ten and
- 19:03Speaker 5: one football team. Believe. Jack McPherson between naps said that
- 19:08Speaker 5: they're gonna have a hard time at Minnesota. That's crazy. Yeah,
- 19:11Speaker 5: that's a wild deal to me at the time, right
- 19:15Speaker 5: it wasn't too much of a reach if you took
- 19:18Speaker 5: a face value just Illinois plays Nebraska and Illinois beat Nebraska.
- 19:23Speaker 5: You think Nebraska's in a lot of trouble. Face value
- 19:26Speaker 5: right now, move on. Now you look at the bigger picture.
- 19:30Speaker 5: Could be a Nebraska Michigan big than championship game, could be.
- 19:34Speaker 2: It's far off, could be, you guys, you never know, Yeah,
- 19:37Speaker 2: you never know.
- 19:37Speaker 5: You guys upset Ohio State, Ohio State drops two of
- 19:40Speaker 5: the three.
- 19:41Speaker 2: Or cannot just cannot just escape by Indiana. Rutgers is
- 19:46Speaker 2: also undefeated right now, Dave He's Rutgers is number two
- 19:49Speaker 2: on Dave's Big Ten rankings.
- 19:51Speaker 5: That's wild two or.
- 19:53Speaker 2: Three, they're their top five.
- 19:54Speaker 5: They've been around for a while, they've been around, they've
- 19:55Speaker 5: been in the football.
- 19:56Speaker 2: We all to say we can't just glaw over the
- 20:00Speaker 2: Rutgers in Indiana game. Yeah, we just can't right now.
- 20:03Speaker 2: Are you talking about Nebraska? Yeah, absolutely, you're saying we
- 20:06Speaker 2: upset Ohio State. You're going, You're going like four weeks
- 20:09Speaker 2: ahead right now.
- 20:09Speaker 5: Yeah. You know, I'm a thirty thousand foot view fan
- 20:13Speaker 5: of Nebraska, like I pretty honest. If I didn't know you,
- 20:18Speaker 5: I would probably never think about the University of Nebraska
- 20:21Speaker 5: once in my life. I know you, And now my
- 20:23Speaker 5: algorithm's fucked up and it's only showing me Nebraska stuff.
- 20:26Speaker 5: So Nebraska's constantly on my mind.
- 20:28Speaker 1: Now.
- 20:28Speaker 5: Yeah, I just look at it as a general fan,
- 20:30Speaker 5: being like, that's the game you have to.
- 20:31Speaker 2: Worry right, right, right right, because I looks bad.
- 20:34Speaker 5: Yeah, I still think of Indiana as lesser than I
- 20:37Speaker 5: think of Rutgers is lesser than I think of Minnesota
- 20:40Speaker 5: is lesser than And it's just I didn't have a
- 20:42Speaker 5: whole lot of success in college football as far as
- 20:44Speaker 5: the team sport goes. But we handled those teams right.
- 20:48Speaker 5: They never played Rutgers first Big Ten game I ever
- 20:50Speaker 5: played shootout against Indiana, win that game. Yeah, So that's
- 20:54Speaker 5: all that's all I gotta say about that. Yeah, you know, yeah,
- 20:57Speaker 5: it's it's a war dude, you're The good thing is
- 20:59Speaker 5: we're almost the half point of the cullege football war. Yeah,
- 21:02Speaker 5: and you're in a much better place this year than
- 21:03Speaker 5: you were last year.
- 21:04Speaker 2: The good thing is neither of our teams we are
- 21:07Speaker 2: not even close to touching any panic button. You were guys,
- 21:10Speaker 2: weren't after Texas. We are not after Illinois, right, a
- 21:14Speaker 2: team that should be touching the panted button in my mind.
- 21:18Speaker 2: We're moving to NFL right now. But the Tennessee Titans
- 21:22Speaker 2: end up.
- 21:22Speaker 5: This episode to bring you sport Clips this football season.
- 21:25Speaker 5: Don't walk around with helmet hair like a total rookie.
- 21:28Speaker 5: You've been in the game long enough to know that
- 21:30Speaker 5: how you wear your hair matters. And just because your
- 21:33Speaker 5: team's mascot as a Wolverine, yes it is, doesn't mean
- 21:35Speaker 5: you have to look like the one on top. Keep
- 21:38Speaker 5: your head in the game and go to sport Clips.
- 21:40Speaker 5: They're pro. Their pro stylist have mastered the x's and
- 21:44Speaker 5: o's of men's hair, so you can get a tight
- 21:46Speaker 5: fade while kicking back and watching some fade routes on TV.
- 21:50Speaker 5: It's called a hail mary, not a hair mary. Okay,
- 21:53Speaker 5: so it don't go just anywhere head over to the
- 21:56Speaker 5: pros and men's hair. They'll have a perfectly crafted game
- 22:00Speaker 5: plan to make you look your best, no halftime adjustments.
- 22:03Speaker 5: Need to remember the difference between an okay haircut and
- 22:06Speaker 5: a great cut is called sport clips. It's a game changer.
- 22:10Speaker 5: Let's get back to this episode.
- 22:12Speaker 2: I think before the year started, you know, there was
- 22:15Speaker 2: a people counted out Tennessee, which now it seems like
- 22:18Speaker 2: they're being proved right. Yeah, there's a lot of there's
- 22:21Speaker 2: some optimism, some some underappreciated unseen optimism going on because
- 22:25Speaker 2: of either bringing these receivers, you got Bill Callahan. The
- 22:28Speaker 2: mistake I made was assuming that Bill Callahan was just
- 22:31Speaker 2: gonna come in and fix the offensive line, knowing that
- 22:35Speaker 2: it's still a very young offensive line and there's going
- 22:37Speaker 2: to be growing pains. I do feel like the way
- 22:40Speaker 2: that Will levis. I mean, there was like six sacks
- 22:43Speaker 2: given up today. My man was knocked down about eight times.
- 22:46Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, here's the I'm not scared about the
- 22:52Speaker 5: offensive line right now. They had a really bad second half,
- 22:55Speaker 5: a really bad second half.
- 22:56Speaker 2: But paint the picture of why you're not scared with
- 22:59Speaker 2: the offensive line.
- 23:00Speaker 5: Because I think they're there. They've showed glimpses of hope.
- 23:03Speaker 5: They have done a good job for the most part
- 23:06Speaker 5: of the run game in the past game, this game,
- 23:08Speaker 5: you can throw this one out the window. They had
- 23:10Speaker 5: some you had some very glaring mistakes by multiple players
- 23:14Speaker 5: in the offense line. The one that comes to my
- 23:16Speaker 5: head is, I mean, uh, Nicholas Petite Ferreir. He got
- 23:21Speaker 5: a guy in a wide nine technique, he turns his
- 23:23Speaker 5: shoulders and his hips. The guy makes an inside move clean,
- 23:26Speaker 5: not even touchsack like, and I think they've been caused
- 23:29Speaker 5: a fumble which caused a turnover, those types of things.
- 23:32Speaker 5: If I'm Bill Callahan, if I'm Nick like, I'm sure
- 23:34Speaker 5: Nick right now is probably on suicide watch it in
- 23:36Speaker 5: his house because everyone's been there before. I've been there before.
- 23:38Speaker 5: Every single offensive linement who's had a bad game knows that. Like,
- 23:41Speaker 5: you don't have stats. The only stats you have are
- 23:43Speaker 5: the things that are bad. And he had a tough
- 23:45Speaker 5: one today statistically. But the errors are so easily fixable.
- 23:52Speaker 5: It's so easy to fix one or two things. Hey,
- 23:54Speaker 5: don't panic, set, don't turn your head.
- 23:55Speaker 2: And when you say you're talking about technique.
- 23:58Speaker 5: Technique, I'm only talking about technique, because that's what the
- 24:01Speaker 5: offensive line is. That it's a mental game, it's a
- 24:04Speaker 5: physical game, and it's a technique game. You have to
- 24:06Speaker 5: be able to be really good at all three of
- 24:07Speaker 5: those to be successful. The easiest thing to fix is technique.
- 24:11Speaker 5: And I just hope that these boys don't take all like,
- 24:13Speaker 5: don't let their confidence get shut down.
- 24:15Speaker 2: In the outside noise field because it's flooding.
- 24:18Speaker 5: In their flooding. And but that's the thing that last
- 24:21Speaker 5: few years. The coach that we always talk about but
- 24:24Speaker 5: refuse to say his name in the beginning, Keith Carter, like,
- 24:27Speaker 5: there's there was never a chance to gather confidence unless
- 24:31Speaker 5: you already had that instilled in you from prior success
- 24:33Speaker 5: or you're just built like that kind of cat. Now
- 24:36Speaker 5: what they have now, Callahan, you saw them in the
- 24:38Speaker 5: first couple of games firing on more cylinders than they
- 24:42Speaker 5: have been in the past, doing a great job of
- 24:44Speaker 5: changing sets up, changing punches up, passing off games and slides.
- 24:48Speaker 5: I think this is a great game for Bill Callen
- 24:51Speaker 5: at show how good of a coach he is by
- 24:53Speaker 5: establishing the confidence back in those guys that had a
- 24:56Speaker 5: tough game and then working on the technique on the
- 24:58Speaker 5: football field, because this that I saw from Nick and
- 25:02Speaker 5: j C and those guys is like, it's so fixable.
- 25:05Speaker 5: It's so fixable. There's one that JC had that.
- 25:08Speaker 2: I was gonna say, how how do you feel like
- 25:10Speaker 2: you've been watching j C a little bit? How do
- 25:11Speaker 2: you feel like he's been so far?
- 25:13Speaker 5: I think, Jace, we have to remember he's a rookie.
- 25:15Speaker 5: The kid's an absolute unit of a human being. But
- 25:18Speaker 5: he there's just little there's little things that are so
- 25:22Speaker 5: fixable that he will learn over time. I think the kid,
- 25:24Speaker 5: from what I could tell, his a good head on
- 25:26Speaker 5: his shoulders. But he had one today where the guy
- 25:28Speaker 5: ran the hoop on him, ran all the way around
- 25:31Speaker 5: and got the sack. And what jac did was he
- 25:33Speaker 5: got to the point of no return where he thought
- 25:36Speaker 5: he did his job, and as the guy ran around,
- 25:38Speaker 5: he kind of stopped in the play. And that's when
- 25:40Speaker 5: Will Levis got out of his sack from pressure in
- 25:42Speaker 5: the middle, came forward, and then that guy finished. Those
- 25:46Speaker 5: are the little things you realize, Okay, this isn't this
- 25:48Speaker 5: isn't college. You've got to finish a lot longer than
- 25:51Speaker 5: you expect to and keep going to the echo of
- 25:53Speaker 5: the whistle. All those things fixable. None of those things
- 25:56Speaker 5: are panting Button City. The things I did not like
- 25:58Speaker 5: from the Titans today, like sums up with Will and
- 26:02Speaker 5: we're we're very pro Will Lewis on the show, Well,
- 26:05Speaker 5: I I love I love Will. Everything I'm saying is
- 26:07Speaker 5: truly out of a just a critical eye. He's got
- 26:11Speaker 5: the yips right now. He's forcing too much stuff. He's
- 26:15Speaker 5: at he's he's putting the pressure of himself. He wants
- 26:18Speaker 5: to prove he's the man instead of just being Like
- 26:21Speaker 5: last year we saw him thrust into a starting role
- 26:23Speaker 5: because of an injury. You played nothing to lose, you
- 26:27Speaker 5: played house money. It's like, Okay, you're a rookie. No
- 26:29Speaker 5: one expects you to do well. You weren't the start
- 26:30Speaker 5: in the beginning of the year. There's zero expectation on
- 26:33Speaker 5: you. You go out and you have a game, you get
- 26:34Speaker 5: you did against the Falcons, and uh when in his
- 26:38Speaker 5: first start he does say he does such a great job.
- 26:40Speaker 5: He moves around the pocket, he doesn't lower his shoulder,
- 26:42Speaker 5: It's like, oh shit, we kind of got a guy.
- 26:44Speaker 2: Now.
- 26:45Speaker 5: We spend the whole entire offseason where like the only
- 26:48Speaker 5: people that are excited are the people within Nashville, Tennessee.
- 26:50Speaker 5: The the small regional fan base is so stoked on
- 26:54Speaker 5: Will Levis. Part of me feels he listened to the
- 26:58Speaker 5: cheers a little too hard, he got at excited now,
- 27:00Speaker 5: or just.
- 27:01Speaker 2: It feels that expectation puts the pressure on himself, right.
- 27:04Speaker 5: And that's what I mean by feeling the cheers a
- 27:06Speaker 5: little bit, because when you have a piece of success
- 27:08Speaker 5: in the NFL and we've all had it and you
- 27:10Speaker 5: kind of like chew on it for a little bit, Yo,
- 27:12Speaker 5: this feels fucking nice that people think I'm the fucking man.
- 27:15Speaker 5: Everybody loves that feeling.
- 27:16Speaker 2: Or you feel like and or also you feel like
- 27:19Speaker 2: you have to do that much more.
- 27:21Speaker 5: Right, And I think that comes when the season ends
- 27:23Speaker 5: with Will last year. You enjoy that success, you enjoy
- 27:28Speaker 5: that confidence you've had, But once you get to that
- 27:31Speaker 5: June or July slot, that's when you start to be like,
- 27:34Speaker 5: I've got to prove X, Y and Z to to
- 27:36Speaker 5: just take the next step to show that, oh it
- 27:38Speaker 5: wasn't a fluke, I am the man. Now You're putting
- 27:40Speaker 5: way too much pressure on yourself when before we all
- 27:43Speaker 5: know this, you just gotta stay here. You can't be
- 27:45Speaker 5: doing this, can't be doing that. You just gotta stay
- 27:47Speaker 5: right here, baby and keep that thing moving. And I
- 27:49Speaker 5: just feel like he's pressing the issue way, way, way
- 27:52Speaker 5: too much. And if Will just took a minute, took
- 27:55Speaker 5: a deep breath, realize he has all the talent, all
- 27:58Speaker 5: the characteristics he came to be a good quarterback, then
- 28:00Speaker 5: he goes and does that. But the mental game is
- 28:03Speaker 5: very difficult sometimes, especially when things are going your way.
- 28:05Speaker 5: When you're ohing three. Now, somebody tweeted this to me
- 28:09Speaker 5: today or tweeted it and then put on Instagram said, uh,
- 28:13Speaker 5: bring back Frabel, And it's like, bro, that shit's got
- 28:18Speaker 5: to stop right now that I'm so sick of people
- 28:22Speaker 5: pulling the fire alarm. In the first moment of chaos.
- 28:26Speaker 5: You go and one, he it is what it is.
- 28:27Speaker 5: You Two, it's like, okay, well you played the job. Yeah,
- 28:32Speaker 5: and then owen three happens and now everyone's like, should
- 28:34Speaker 5: it cat verbel Now, I will say this, and this
- 28:36Speaker 5: is not a shot at Callahan, but if you have
- 28:39Speaker 5: Mike Rabel as the head coach right now, it's likely
- 28:43Speaker 5: that the Titans are two and one only reason why
- 28:46Speaker 5: I'm saying that is Mike Rabile established a culture and
- 28:49Speaker 5: he got guys with lesser talent to win games late
- 28:53Speaker 5: in the game and do the right things. That does
- 28:56Speaker 5: not mean that Brian Callahan is a bad coach. I
- 28:59Speaker 5: think Brian call as the right man to have in
- 29:01Speaker 5: this position, especially the way football is going right now.
- 29:03Speaker 5: Derek Henry was getting older, you could just rely on
- 29:06Speaker 5: the run twenty four to seven. You knew that train
- 29:08Speaker 5: was going to end. It's like it's like selling a
- 29:10Speaker 5: stock right before the peak. You're getting out, you're cashing out.
- 29:13Speaker 5: I totally understand that we have to give Brian Callahan
- 29:17Speaker 5: opportunity to instill his culture and his mindset of what
- 29:20Speaker 5: he wants. These are not things that are just going
- 29:22Speaker 5: to happen immediately day of like they're just going to
- 29:25Speaker 5: keep the mic Rabel attitude and then add on whatever
- 29:29Speaker 5: Brian wants. That stuff. It's unrealistic, it's illogical, and it's ridiculous.
- 29:35Speaker 5: So if you're a Titans finger like bring back Vrabel
- 29:38Speaker 5: right now, your record would probably be better of a Vabel.
- 29:40Speaker 5: But we're talking about long term ROI and I think
- 29:43Speaker 5: Brian Callahan is that guy. You just got to give
- 29:45Speaker 5: it some opportunity for him doing Still, Hey, if it's
- 29:48Speaker 5: a shitty year, here's the good news. Get a great
- 29:51Speaker 5: draft pick. Now, you had a quarterback that I know
- 29:54Speaker 5: people are thinking, oh, maybe not. You had a quarterback
- 29:57Speaker 5: with all the attributes to be successful.
- 29:59Speaker 2: You got with the year in the system.
- 30:01Speaker 5: You got two top fifteen picks on the left side
- 30:03Speaker 5: of your offensive line. You got Dylan Raidens, who's playing
- 30:06Speaker 5: a hell of a lot better. You got a center
- 30:08Speaker 5: who has paid fifty million dollars in his good ballplayer.
- 30:10Speaker 5: You got NFP who's going growing more.
- 30:12Speaker 2: You got a nasty defense.
- 30:13Speaker 5: You got a nasty defense. You got receivers, you got
- 30:16Speaker 5: two great running backs. Like you have the tools, but
- 30:20Speaker 5: you can have all the ingredients to make a pie.
- 30:22Speaker 5: But if you don't, if you don't have if you
- 30:24Speaker 5: don't have the right tools to make the pie, then
- 30:26Speaker 5: it's it's gonna be a shit pie. Right, So we
- 30:29Speaker 5: just got to give that time this year. I don't know.
- 30:32Speaker 5: I don't know what to say. They got.
- 30:34Speaker 2: One of the good news is they play the Dolphins
- 30:36Speaker 2: next week and the Dolphins. Dolphins have not been looking good. Yeah,
- 30:40Speaker 2: they have either a home game or do they go
- 30:42Speaker 2: to Indy.
- 30:43Speaker 5: I think they go by and then they go to Indy.
- 30:45Speaker 2: Okay, so they have a bye week pretty early by.
- 30:48Speaker 5: That kind of sucks.
- 30:49Speaker 2: But however, recently, especially if you get back on track
- 30:52Speaker 2: with Miami, it's a massive game because again they the
- 30:56Speaker 2: South is still pretty wide open. I mean the Texans
- 30:58Speaker 2: loss to day to the Vikings. Who Vikings, by the way,
- 31:01Speaker 2: am Donald bro and he is operated a resurgence of life. Yes,
- 31:05Speaker 2: they can run the ball well, they can throw the
- 31:06Speaker 2: ball well. That defense on their floor is is playing well.
- 31:09Speaker 2: So the South is wide open. You have to get
- 31:12Speaker 2: back on track and win this game against Miami, lick
- 31:15Speaker 2: your wounds with the bye week, revaluate, and then you
- 31:17Speaker 2: play Indy, which Indy isn't you know they have their
- 31:20Speaker 2: own issues as well.
- 31:21Speaker 5: They have their own issues, no doubt. And like yeah,
- 31:24Speaker 5: with with Houston losing today, AFC South is wide open.
- 31:28Speaker 5: And who did to say like, hey, we're going to
- 31:29Speaker 5: go and win the AFC South. Now, it's like, listen,
- 31:32Speaker 5: just improve on the errors. Let's just win the game.
- 31:34Speaker 5: Let's just win a game. Let's win a game. Let's
- 31:36Speaker 5: just win a game, and let's let's let's keep it
- 31:38Speaker 5: moving forward. So for all the people, all the test
- 31:40Speaker 5: Titan fans out there that are watching the show and
- 31:42Speaker 5: are pressing the panic button. Polightly go fuck yourself for
- 31:45Speaker 5: right now. I mean that a respectfully way, trying to
- 31:47Speaker 5: be funny, but like it's stop because it's way too
- 31:52Speaker 5: early and it's okay.
- 31:53Speaker 2: New player's new staff like sta. Still yeah, it's still very.
- 31:56Speaker 5: Like you know what, let's say it's worst case scenario. Great,
- 31:58Speaker 5: we have the first overall pick, like and now you
- 32:01Speaker 5: have more fools. It's just seventeen. Yeah, worst case. Let's
- 32:04Speaker 5: just say, let's say so it.
- 32:05Speaker 2: Was number one. We do need to Unfortunately we're not
- 32:07Speaker 2: on the bus and we can't hold Jack accountable. Jack
- 32:10Speaker 2: did say he would kill himself if Malik Willis won
- 32:12Speaker 2: his revenge game in the sun Stadium.
- 32:14Speaker 5: Did you say Jack needs to kill himself.
- 32:16Speaker 2: I think there needs to be some type of accountability,
- 32:18Speaker 2: whether maybe hey, maybe a couple of weeks ago when
- 32:20Speaker 2: the guy said he would eat dog shit.
- 32:22Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe Jack does something.
- 32:24Speaker 2: I think he needs to do something for some good juju,
- 32:26Speaker 2: because if not, you know, it could put some bad
- 32:30Speaker 2: a bad omen on the Titans.
- 32:31Speaker 5: Because I think Jack in a lot of ways has
- 32:35Speaker 5: kind of become a front man for the Titans fan
- 32:38Speaker 5: base given the platform he has on busting brought back
- 32:43Speaker 5: the pain train, brought back the pain train, yeah, all
- 32:45Speaker 5: those things. He just seems like he has the loudest
- 32:48Speaker 5: voice of all Titans fans, and I think he does.
- 32:51Speaker 5: He Yeah, some account.
- 32:52Speaker 2: If you're gonna leave from the front, you gotta leave
- 32:54Speaker 2: from the front.
- 32:54Speaker 5: Right exactly. So maybe there needs to be a punishment involved.
- 32:57Speaker 5: I won't go as far to say you need to
- 32:59Speaker 5: kill yourself, Jack, but let's figure.
- 33:01Speaker 2: So I texted him right after. I said, I'll say
- 33:03Speaker 2: some really nice words for you at your funeral.
- 33:05Speaker 5: Yeah, do your eulogy. Yeah, dude, I mean Jack's gotta
- 33:08Speaker 5: pay the piper a little bit.
- 33:09Speaker 2: Yeah, we need something out of Jack.
- 33:11Speaker 5: What else?
- 33:11Speaker 2: What else is going on in the NFL world? We
- 33:14Speaker 2: got uh Jets look good Jets. Look damn.
- 33:17Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers is back. And that's another thing too, When
- 33:19Speaker 5: people are like he's done, it's like, what are you
- 33:21Speaker 5: talking about? He's yeah, it's just still god so dumb.
- 33:25Speaker 5: It's so dumb.
- 33:26Speaker 2: Their defense was playing well. Now granted it was the Patriots,
- 33:30Speaker 2: but they have the pieces on defense.
- 33:32Speaker 5: The first game that's gotta feel good. That's gotta feel
- 33:34Speaker 5: real good.
- 33:35Speaker 2: But Aaron Rodgers with Breise Hall, uh, Garrett Wilson, even
- 33:40Speaker 2: Mike Williams. He returned from Uh they got him in
- 33:42Speaker 2: free agency. He came from the Chargers, friend of the show. Uh,
- 33:46Speaker 2: he looked good. So another weapon to go with him, lizard.
- 33:50Speaker 2: But yeah, the Jets, the Jets could be picking it up.
- 33:52Speaker 5: Just got just got a little something going that fires
- 33:54Speaker 5: me up because like, I don't know when the world
- 33:57Speaker 5: became so fifty to fifty on Aaron Rodgers of like
- 33:59Speaker 5: not liking him and liking him.
- 34:00Speaker 2: I well, you know probably all the the political stuff
- 34:04Speaker 2: that Aaron gets out there on.
- 34:05Speaker 5: Yeah, but who doesn't agree?
- 34:06Speaker 2: No, I'm with you. But you know how you know
- 34:11Speaker 2: how fans are. They want you to play, they want
- 34:12Speaker 2: you to love your football.
- 34:15Speaker 5: And throw yeah. Yeah. But the thing too is that here,
- 34:17Speaker 5: here's what I like about Aaron Rodgers from out off off,
- 34:21Speaker 5: outside of football. He questions things and it's super cure.
- 34:25Speaker 5: Who who made it wrong to be curious about things?
- 34:29Speaker 5: And se just stinking stuff a face value? I wish
- 34:30Speaker 5: I was more like that. People will just tell me.
- 34:33Speaker 5: I'll see it on Instagram, be like, yep, fact, it
- 34:36Speaker 5: could be one way or the other, and I'll just
- 34:37Speaker 5: look at you and be like, Yep, that's exactly gonna
- 34:39Speaker 5: be the identity that I choose to project from me
- 34:41Speaker 5: for the rest of the week. Aaron chooses to question
- 34:44Speaker 5: all these things, and he's a. He's an admirable candidate.
- 34:48Speaker 5: In my mind, I think he's a. He's a he's
- 34:50Speaker 5: a cool, well rounded cat. I'm messed with it.
- 34:53Speaker 2: I'm very well.
- 34:55Speaker 5: Those a tight spiral, yeah, he does. Those are tight. One.
- 34:58Speaker 2: We interrupt this episode to bring you body Armor. That
- 35:01Speaker 2: is body Armor sport water, the alkaline water that provides
- 35:05Speaker 2: real hydration with electrolytes for taste. Everybody is always drinking
- 35:09Speaker 2: it around the office out here in Chicago HQ. These
- 35:12Speaker 2: sports drink the Zero Sugar and even the Flash IV
- 35:16Speaker 2: After a long weekend, we can't get enough of body armor.
- 35:19Speaker 2: The sport water, in my opinion, is the best water
- 35:22Speaker 2: on the market. Your boy just hit a five K
- 35:24Speaker 2: the other day and body Armor sport water was what
- 35:27Speaker 2: kept your boy hydrated. Head on over to your local
- 35:30Speaker 2: seven to eleven and get your body Armor sport water Today.
- 35:33Speaker 2: Back to the episode today, did you really yeah, walked
- 35:39Speaker 2: the last night and something we glossed over that we
- 35:43Speaker 2: didn't spend really any time on, but the genius that
- 35:47Speaker 2: coach Lafleur has in Grey Bay. I mean, Malik willis
- 35:52Speaker 2: winning games with Malik And I'm not saying like Malik's
- 35:55Speaker 2: a terrible quarterback by any means, but I think everybody
- 35:58Speaker 2: would assume that when they lost s Jordan Love, that
- 36:00Speaker 2: they were gonna pop off too in a row and
- 36:03Speaker 2: be flying around like they are, especially taking care of
- 36:06Speaker 2: the football like he is, and building an offensive plan
- 36:09Speaker 2: that fits him and adapting to the players he has
- 36:12Speaker 2: on the roster. I feel like Lafleur, you know, whether
- 36:15Speaker 2: he gets a lot of credit credit, I think he
- 36:18Speaker 2: doesn't get enough credit because going to and O since
- 36:21Speaker 2: losing Jordan Love, I feel like it's not especially because
- 36:24Speaker 2: they got Malik, like what three weeks ago.
- 36:26Speaker 5: Three years ago from the Titians, the team they just beat, right,
- 36:29Speaker 5: which is another thing that is fucking blasphemous. What does
- 36:34Speaker 5: Malik Willis do Will He.
- 36:37Speaker 2: Runs, He runs the ball.
- 36:39Speaker 5: He's not a guy that is going to like he
- 36:42Speaker 5: at least from the time I was there, he was
- 36:44Speaker 5: not a guy that the dissected the coverages and understood
- 36:46Speaker 5: where his hot routes were and stuff like that, and
- 36:48Speaker 5: where his you know, line was sliding to and moving to.
- 36:52Speaker 5: So you have the blueprint of a guy that's been
- 36:55Speaker 5: in your building for entire camp to see, Oh, we
- 36:57Speaker 5: should trade this guy. This is why we're gonna trade
- 37:00Speaker 5: this guy, and then you let that guy beat you.
- 37:02Speaker 5: The defensive game plan to me was nuts. Yeah, just crazy,
- 37:06Speaker 5: Like how Milikal is gonna hurt you because he's gonna
- 37:09Speaker 5: hurt it by extending plays and using his feet. The
- 37:11Speaker 5: fact that they have rushers going around him, no coordinated rushes,
- 37:15Speaker 5: not a whole lot of spies, not running a whole
- 37:17Speaker 5: lot of games. Like, to me, that was just insane
- 37:21Speaker 5: because if you made him one dimensions, say hey, we're
- 37:22Speaker 5: going to keep his cat in the pocket and make
- 37:23Speaker 5: him throw the ball, it would have been a whole
- 37:25Speaker 5: lot better. But when you're allowing him to run and
- 37:27Speaker 5: do all the things he has now he's had the
- 37:29Speaker 5: opportunity to throw these intermediate throws and he had a
- 37:32Speaker 5: nice touch.
- 37:32Speaker 2: Yeah he looked really good today, Yeah, bro, really good.
- 37:35Speaker 2: That Like again, Lafleur having the creativity with the screen
- 37:39Speaker 2: game building play action, like putting Malik in in positions
- 37:43Speaker 2: to win and him taking advantage of the opportunity. Because
- 37:47Speaker 2: again it's like, okay, when you see them beat Indianapolis
- 37:51Speaker 2: last week, it was Malik's first game, so there's really
- 37:53Speaker 2: not a whole lot to operate off of. You don't
- 37:55Speaker 2: know what kind of game plan you're gonna get. You
- 37:57Speaker 2: can assume that it's gonna be Malik. You know, them
- 37:59Speaker 2: running the ball there plus times with Josh Jacobs, But
- 38:02Speaker 2: going into Tennessee, it's like, now you have a week
- 38:04Speaker 2: of film to kind of prepare, Like, no way they're
- 38:05Speaker 2: going to get away with doing stuff like this again.
- 38:07Speaker 2: But again, like just speaking to that creativity from Lafloor,
- 38:10Speaker 2: I just feel like flowers need to be said and
- 38:14Speaker 2: given as much as we want to critique and pull
- 38:18Speaker 2: apart all the.
- 38:19Speaker 5: Yeah, because we were based in National, right, I'm glad
- 38:21Speaker 5: you're rgmed me back in because you started with giving
- 38:23Speaker 5: Matt flowers and then I just critique the Titans.
- 38:25Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you're like the but also like, yeah.
- 38:28Speaker 5: Dude, I mean Matt he was OC for one year
- 38:31Speaker 5: at the Titans and he was so great, and the
- 38:33Speaker 5: Packers are like, we got to have this guy, and
- 38:35Speaker 5: he's proven to be the dude over and over again
- 38:37Speaker 5: strategically using It's.
- 38:39Speaker 2: Like, okay, Aaron Rodgers, of course they're going to be successful.
- 38:42Speaker 2: Jordan Love, damn, they got lucky again. They found another one.
- 38:44Speaker 2: But then Jordan Love goes Jordan Love goes down, and
- 38:47Speaker 2: you got a backup in Milik who just showed up
- 38:49Speaker 2: with a backpack on.
- 38:51Speaker 5: And you think, you think yourself, like exactly what you said.
- 38:54Speaker 5: The Colts go and they think they're going to run
- 38:56Speaker 5: the ball thirty times, and then Malik has a has
- 38:58Speaker 5: a good game and they end up on the game,
- 39:00Speaker 5: and that's like that usually happens once, and then they
- 39:03Speaker 5: start to get figured out because there's a week of
- 39:04Speaker 5: film and you start to understand get strengths and weaknesses,
- 39:06Speaker 5: kind of like how I view the Panthers right now,
- 39:08Speaker 5: Like they come and they get their wine. It's a
- 39:11Speaker 5: lot of time with a quarterback change or interim head coach,
- 39:15Speaker 5: Like you fire a coach in the interim head coach
- 39:18Speaker 5: ins comes in. Usually that team, for whatever reason, just
- 39:20Speaker 5: wins the next week. I have no idea why the
- 39:22Speaker 5: locker room just rallies around the back for whatever reason,
- 39:25Speaker 5: and it's like the Panthers are still dead, Like it's
- 39:28Speaker 5: just the no shot, It's not happening. Ye A Dalton, dude,
- 39:31Speaker 5: I'm stoked for him, right.
- 39:33Speaker 2: I can't believe the Raiders drop that one, man, I know,
- 39:37Speaker 2: and they got handled too, which was surprising. They go
- 39:39Speaker 2: across the country and get a massive win against the Ravens,
- 39:42Speaker 2: big time underdogs. You think they're hosting Carolina. Carolina's now
- 39:46Speaker 2: got to travel across the country and they just it
- 39:48Speaker 2: seems like their organization is blowing up because they benched
- 39:51Speaker 2: Bryce Young kind of out him. They go with Andy Dalton.
- 39:54Speaker 2: Then they go in and drop one against the Panthers.
- 39:57Speaker 1: Bro.
- 39:57Speaker 2: You see Antonio Pierce after the game.
- 39:59Speaker 5: Yeah, that was a badass quote.
- 40:03Speaker 2: Right bad. As the game went along, it seemed like
- 40:06Speaker 2: guys started to make business decisions. We will make business
- 40:09Speaker 2: decisions moving moving forward as well.
- 40:11Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 40:11Speaker 2: I don't know if that sound the alarm. There should
- 40:15Speaker 2: be a little bit of a panic button that you're
- 40:16Speaker 2: saying something. That quote is a quote in week three
- 40:19Speaker 2: of the NFL, you know what I mean? Usually you're thinking,
- 40:21Speaker 2: usually you get something like that back half of the
- 40:23Speaker 2: year if you're kind of out of it. We're gonna
- 40:24Speaker 2: see who's really who really wants to play football, who
- 40:26Speaker 2: really loves football? You know those speeches.
- 40:28Speaker 5: If AP's about that business, someone's getting cut on Monday, Yeah,
- 40:30Speaker 5: I better see per Adam Schefter someone getting cut from
- 40:33Speaker 5: the Raiders. I better see that, right.
- 40:35Speaker 2: And you know with AP too, like the way that
- 40:37Speaker 2: kind of culture, that leadership is like, he wouldn't just
- 40:40Speaker 2: say that unless they all kind of identify a player
- 40:43Speaker 2: or two that they're that they're thinking about. They're like,
- 40:45Speaker 2: we got to get this guy out.
- 40:46Speaker 5: I wish I did a better double watching that game
- 40:48Speaker 5: because I was. I was at the Titans game today. Yeah,
- 40:50Speaker 5: like the first time in forever. But yeah, dude, it's
- 40:55Speaker 5: You've gotta like the thought. It's just crazy to me
- 40:57Speaker 5: that dudes do that make business decisions.
- 41:00Speaker 2: Yeah. I would love to know which, which player or two,
- 41:05Speaker 2: however many whoever he's thinking about and watch that. Yeah.
- 41:09Speaker 5: Max would tell us, Yeah, Max would tell us who
- 41:11Speaker 5: was it?
- 41:11Speaker 2: Go check the all twenty two and then see a
- 41:13Speaker 2: couple of these plays. Yeah, Because I mean if a
- 41:15Speaker 2: coach is saying that now, again, I don't know if
- 41:17Speaker 2: it's like this is bad news for the season or
- 41:20Speaker 2: This is like they've identified. They're getting rid. They're getting
- 41:23Speaker 2: rid of the poison in the locker room, and it
- 41:25Speaker 2: will be beneficial. I'm sure it'll be beneficial.
- 41:27Speaker 5: Sounds like he's gonna cut the grass and find the snakes, right,
- 41:29Speaker 5: that's what he wants to do, because you can't be
- 41:32Speaker 5: having that that that poison in the locker room. Bro,
- 41:35Speaker 5: you can't be having dudes getting small groups talking ship. Yeah,
- 41:38Speaker 5: that's how losers work. Yeah, right, Alid with his quotes, Man,
- 41:43Speaker 5: I'll give him that, Yeah, I will give him that
- 41:45Speaker 5: stuff this. Yeah, dude, he just I hope that I
- 41:49Speaker 5: want the Raiders to be successful so bad because I
- 41:51Speaker 5: think that's such a great franchise and a dude like
- 41:53Speaker 5: Max who's just a he'll.
- 41:56Speaker 2: Just lays it on the line every Sunday, every Sunday,
- 41:59Speaker 2: every day. And Bobby Splaine. I want to give some
- 42:02Speaker 2: love to Bobby splay. Yeah he was playing with this. Yeah,
- 42:06Speaker 2: dude plays with his hair on fire. Because I was
- 42:08Speaker 2: watching their game. I was breaking down their game on
- 42:10Speaker 2: the Old All twenty two last week. Then versus the
- 42:12Speaker 2: Ravens and Old spleazy man. He plays like that, Yes,
- 42:17Speaker 2: plays hard man plays put me on game.
- 42:19Speaker 5: With this All twenty two, it's like watching the iPad.

- 42:58Speaker 5: every single NFL game this year, it's like your monthly
- 43:01Speaker 5: bills like three hundred and nine dollars a month.
- 43:03Speaker 2: No, they got me because the streams, the.
- 43:05Speaker 5: Streams have finally got us the streaming era, because remember

- 43:24Speaker 5: I was thinking myself, yeah, but I don't want to
- 43:26Speaker 5: watch cable. Literally, I think two weeks later I called.
- 43:28Speaker 5: I was like, hey, shut it down, we're done here.
- 43:30Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah, now the door hitching the ass on
- 43:33Speaker 5: the way.
- 43:33Speaker 2: Now now they got us.
- 43:35Speaker 5: Now we're fucking we gonna go to.
- 43:36Speaker 2: Gotta have basically every streaming I know, because it's the platform,
- 43:40Speaker 2: the Amazon, it's the peakcock because it feels like every
- 43:42Speaker 2: platform some type of game. I know, even Netflix, GA
- 43:47Speaker 2: got Thursday Night. This one's on Sunday, oh the holidays
- 43:49Speaker 2: this year that it's gonna be on this platform Monday
- 43:52Speaker 2: night football here.
- 43:54Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah, Hey, there's rumors out there about Netflix
- 43:56Speaker 5: it might be doing that game. We'll do what Netflix
- 43:59Speaker 5: has a game on Christmas? Did you say you might
- 44:01Speaker 5: be doing that game? Yeah? What do you mean? Like
- 44:04Speaker 5: there's like I'm on a short list right.
- 44:06Speaker 2: Now of doing the game like color commentating, not color commenting.
- 44:10Speaker 2: But Paul Sideline.
- 44:14Speaker 5: Be got nice, right. I think it'd be kind of
- 44:17Speaker 5: sick to do one game color commentating one game.
- 44:20Speaker 2: I think he'd be great at it.
- 44:21Speaker 5: I think so too. I mean, if Tom got three minute,
- 44:24Speaker 5: three hundred mil like dot two, I'll do one game.
- 44:30Speaker 5: I'm just saying, I like to check that out.
- 44:33Speaker 2: You could call a game, especially if you're prepared. You're prepared,
- 44:36Speaker 2: you can do yeah. Yeah, it's easy.
- 44:37Speaker 1: Man.
- 44:37Speaker 5: You're like a dad. You're prepared. You can do anything
- 44:39Speaker 5: you want.
- 44:40Speaker 2: Yeah, but I just I know, my boy good.
- 44:42Speaker 5: I mean, we did that little playoff thing.
- 44:44Speaker 2: You had your ESPN debut, well not debut, you've been
- 44:49Speaker 2: on it before, but you were at the desk.
- 44:51Speaker 5: You first take. Yeah, the first take was the most
- 44:53Speaker 5: intimidated thing, especially when you get on the monitor and
- 44:55Speaker 5: you see the King himself, Stephen A.
- 44:58Speaker 2: Smith right there. Yeah, and I just think, get up
- 45:00Speaker 2: and first take.
- 45:01Speaker 5: Ye there. Do we talk about that? No, because we've
- 45:05Speaker 5: been a wave, bro. No, I saw you next week. No,
- 45:08Speaker 5: we were what that was week one? Maybe we did, Yeah,
- 45:12Speaker 5: we kind of maybe even talk about it.
- 45:14Speaker 2: Yeah, we missed retired, you know, high.
- 45:19Speaker 5: School I know, bro, that's got to be so sick.
- 45:21Speaker 5: And the key of the city. Can I tell you something.
- 45:24Speaker 5: I wish it was a key.
- 45:26Speaker 2: It is no.
- 45:28Speaker 5: I wish it was like an actual key and like
- 45:29Speaker 5: a glass box, like one of those cool, like eighteen
- 45:32Speaker 5: hundreds keys, like truly you know, but you.
- 45:35Speaker 2: Ain't gonna do like even if you had just a
- 45:37Speaker 2: true key. It's not like you're like I'm locking the
- 45:40Speaker 2: door anywhere.
- 45:41Speaker 5: I know. But I just kind of was hoping it
- 45:43Speaker 5: would be a metal key, not your basic janitor key,
- 45:45Speaker 5: but like an old school like yeah, I don't know,
- 45:49Speaker 5: I think of British people like in London with the
- 45:51Speaker 5: big gass keys, like that's what I was thinking of.
- 45:53Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's still dope.
- 45:55Speaker 5: The symbolism of it all is sick.
- 45:57Speaker 2: I mean it was. It was crazy. Yeah, it was crazy,
- 45:59Speaker 2: just because like I forget if I said this on
- 46:02Speaker 2: last week's epso I don't think I did. But the
- 46:05Speaker 2: place where we grew up, like bond Terre, Missouri. Yeah,
- 46:10Speaker 2: and knowing that I did the ceremony on Friday night,
- 46:13Speaker 2: I went to the RGFL, my community of football league
- 46:16Speaker 2: that I grew up playing in on Saturday morning and Dave,
- 46:19Speaker 2: the owner of that league. He was saying so a
- 46:23Speaker 2: lot of nice things. I gave a little speech and
- 46:25Speaker 2: everything like that, but just knowing to go back on
- 46:27Speaker 2: that weekend and kind of have like a full circle moment,
- 46:29Speaker 2: just knowing the place that we grow up. I was
- 46:32Speaker 2: kind of telling the parents and the kids, like, we
- 46:36Speaker 2: don't grow up close to an NFL team or a
- 46:40Speaker 2: college team. We had the Rams that was over an
- 46:42Speaker 2: hour away. You have the Miszoo Tigers, they're about three
- 46:45Speaker 2: hours away out in Columbia. But you don't have direct
- 46:47Speaker 2: access to athletes that you grow up watching on TV.
- 46:51Speaker 2: Your inspiration comes from the guys you watch on TV
- 46:53Speaker 2: and the varsity football team. Like I had a poster
- 46:57Speaker 2: of Jeremy McDowell, who was our quarterback who went to
- 46:59Speaker 2: the nineteen ninety seven state championship. My parents won this poster,
- 47:03Speaker 2: this frame poster at an auction. There's this photo where
- 47:06Speaker 2: he's just he's in his paths and he's just holding
- 47:08Speaker 2: the ball like his little individual photo.
- 47:10Speaker 5: No shit.
- 47:11Speaker 2: It hung up over my bed growing up.
- 47:14Speaker 4: PJ.
- 47:14Speaker 2: Jones was a linebacker. I wanted to play like because
- 47:16Speaker 2: he had the records and everything else. But you grow
- 47:19Speaker 2: up being inspired by the guys you watch on TV
- 47:21Speaker 2: in the NFL obviously, and then the varsity football team,
- 47:24Speaker 2: and to come all the way back your boys just
- 47:28Speaker 2: turned thirty five, and to be speaking to the league
- 47:31Speaker 2: that I grew up like playing on the same grass
- 47:33Speaker 2: that they did, and getting the key to the city
- 47:35Speaker 2: the jersey retired and all that stuff, and knowing that
- 47:38Speaker 2: I am one of those guys that those kids look
- 47:40Speaker 2: up to is a super cool thing that I definitely
- 47:43Speaker 2: do not take for granted. And it was just a
- 47:46Speaker 2: very cool, full circle moment for your boy, It really was.
- 47:49Speaker 5: That's fucking awesome, dude.
- 47:50Speaker 2: So if I went any longer here, little emotion could
- 47:54Speaker 2: probably hit the little eyeballs, you know what I mean.
- 47:56Speaker 5: Yeah, we can't have that, dude. There's nothing better than
- 48:00Speaker 5: high school football, There's not. And for anybody to think differently, man, Like,
- 48:05Speaker 5: I went to two different high schools and I cherished
- 48:07Speaker 5: both of those, both of those high schools.
- 48:09Speaker 2: You got to go back.
- 48:10Speaker 5: You went back to the game this past day, and
- 48:11Speaker 5: I actually want to ask you this question because a
- 48:14Speaker 5: part of me like felt weird, Like even when I
- 48:15Speaker 5: went to the Titans game today, I felt weird too.
- 48:17Speaker 5: Because you think about like, you know, you watch TV
- 48:20Speaker 5: and stuff like that, and you watch like high school
- 48:21Speaker 5: football TV shows or whatever, and there's always like the
- 48:23Speaker 5: guy who graduated five years ago still comes to all
- 48:25Speaker 5: the games. Yeah, And even though like I'm thirty three
- 48:27Speaker 5: years old and I have not been back in Arizona
- 48:29Speaker 5: in so long, going out, I kind of felt like,
- 48:32Speaker 5: you know, maybe someone was like, what are you doing? Yeah,
- 48:34Speaker 5: And I shook it off because it was so cool
- 48:38Speaker 5: to go on like the catch Shadows Falcons. They're three
- 48:41Speaker 5: and zero right now and they're playing Boulder Creek, which
- 48:44Speaker 5: was like a division above them, and they smacked the
- 48:47Speaker 5: shit out of them. Actually, it was like they they
- 48:49Speaker 5: were tied at fourteen when I got there, and they're
- 48:50Speaker 5: up three scores by like halfway through the third. Yeah,
- 48:53Speaker 5: And it's like it's cool, man, because you literally look
- 48:56Speaker 5: at the field that they're playing on and you look
- 48:58Speaker 5: at the stands, and even though things are the same,
- 49:00Speaker 5: it's like I did like put my my journey started
- 49:05Speaker 5: and the same place that these kids are starting right
- 49:07Speaker 5: now that I'm literally twice twice of some of their ages,
- 49:10Speaker 5: and it's just cool to like see them look over
- 49:13Speaker 5: and tap somebody's shoulder and be like yeah, And that
- 49:16Speaker 5: to me was like I was like, that is so
- 49:18Speaker 5: it's just surreal. So like we we had this conversation.
- 49:20Speaker 5: I don't know if I talked about it, but October eighteenth,
- 49:23Speaker 5: I'm being put in the Catch Shitas Hall of Fame,
- 49:25Speaker 5: first home first guy ever in Catch Shittas Hall Fame,
- 49:27Speaker 5: by the way, first inductee, and I believe his name
- 49:31Speaker 5: is Rob Gilmore. I need to double check his name
- 49:32Speaker 5: on my phone. But he like reached out to me
- 49:34Speaker 5: and told me I met him for the first time
- 49:36Speaker 5: and they're doing like this parade on Friday morning, and
- 49:39Speaker 5: he's like, hey, if you can get there, we'd love
- 49:41Speaker 5: for you to be like, uh, oh, what's it cold?
- 49:43Speaker 5: What's it called? What's the thing called? When you're like, uh,
- 49:45Speaker 5: Homecoming King, No, it's like, uh, you're gonna get the
- 49:50Speaker 5: Grand Marshall Grand Marshal of like their float or whatever. Yea,
- 49:54Speaker 5: And he asked me to know. I'm thinking to myself, yeah,
- 49:56Speaker 5: they'd be sick, but also probably is like these kids
- 49:59Speaker 5: are gonna be looking like a thirty three year old
- 50:00Speaker 5: waving like that's kind of dude. I know, I know,
- 50:04Speaker 5: I know, I know, I know, like everything you're saying
- 50:06Speaker 5: about to say, like trust me. I had to have
- 50:08Speaker 5: that conversation with myself because for whatever reason, it's not ego.
- 50:11Speaker 5: It's like a it's it's almost like you just hey,
- 50:14Speaker 5: I just don't want to be too much the center
- 50:16Speaker 5: of attention, even though you guys are technically celebrating me.
- 50:18Speaker 2: It is weird because you go back to a familiar
- 50:22Speaker 2: spot and while they like, while I'm watching the game,
- 50:26Speaker 2: I see a lot of familiar faces, like guys people
- 50:29Speaker 2: I went to school with, and they're coming up and like, hey,
- 50:31Speaker 2: my son, he wants a photo with you, And there's
- 50:33Speaker 2: a there's a there's a weird part because it's like,
- 50:35Speaker 2: you know, you know those people that you went to
- 50:38Speaker 2: school with, and they're you know, they're there, and I
- 50:40Speaker 2: feel like it's just like an internal like insecurity thing
- 50:44Speaker 2: of just feeling like it's you're too much of the
- 50:46Speaker 2: center of attention around people that you you knew very well.
- 50:49Speaker 5: At one point, you almost play the mind game of
- 50:51Speaker 5: like what are they talking shit? Like are they being
- 50:53Speaker 5: like look at them? Yeah, you know, yeah, I don't know,
- 50:56Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 50:57Speaker 2: That's really cool though, bro, Yeah, it's it's sick because again,
- 51:00Speaker 2: if if I'm a kid bro like, I would be
- 51:03Speaker 2: looking up to you just as well. Like I want
- 51:05Speaker 2: to accomplish. I want to be the same person like
- 51:08Speaker 2: he did it. I want to be another guy who
- 51:10Speaker 2: did it. Not a lot of people get to do it.
- 51:12Speaker 2: I want to do that. Like you're an inspiration, you
- 51:14Speaker 2: know what I mean, You're a motivation.
- 51:16Speaker 5: No, it's crazy, it's a wild deal. And like you
- 51:19Speaker 5: going back like he's you already got inducted the Hall
- 51:21Speaker 5: of Fame. You've been there, done that.
- 51:22Speaker 2: That's conceal.
- 51:26Speaker 5: And but now you're like the Jersey retirement the key
- 51:29Speaker 5: to all that. It's like you've essentially reached the pinnacle
- 51:32Speaker 5: of success of every high schooler. Like that is unbelievable
- 51:38Speaker 5: because everybody wants the gold jacket right everywhere and everyone three.
- 51:43Speaker 2: Years we'll see where I'm all, you know, eligible for.
- 51:46Speaker 5: The right right right. But and then everybody obviously college
- 51:49Speaker 5: Hall of Fame, all that stuff they want to remember
- 51:51Speaker 5: with their college. But like high school, you do it.
- 51:54Speaker 5: There's nothing better than high school.
- 51:57Speaker 2: That's because high school it's like that's when it's at
- 51:59Speaker 2: it's purest for right of football, of sports.
- 52:02Speaker 5: Yeah. People the boys legit just playing ball, yeah, and
- 52:08Speaker 5: shadows their fans, their stands were packed, just shut down.
- 52:12Speaker 2: You guys got a high school that loves their high
- 52:14Speaker 2: school for yeah.
- 52:15Speaker 5: And it's just it was just really cool and I'm
- 52:17Speaker 5: super grateful for it. I'm stoked for you. Like that
- 52:19Speaker 5: was that. It's just like it's just dope. It's awesome,
- 52:23Speaker 5: and I gotta I gotta shake off whatever that, you know.
- 52:26Speaker 5: And I tell you what was weird, too, is all
- 52:28Speaker 5: these little kids running around they're in high school. Cause
- 52:31Speaker 5: you like I was with Nick Bennett, who were talking
- 52:33Speaker 5: about earlier, and Nick he was to catch the shots
- 52:36Speaker 5: with me too, and he's like, bro, you know what's crazy.
- 52:38Speaker 5: He's like all these kids walking around, like how young
- 52:41Speaker 5: they look. And it's like it's be crazy for you
- 52:43Speaker 5: and me to think that we didn't look that young
- 52:44Speaker 5: either when.
- 52:45Speaker 2: We were that kid. You're like, man, some girl came
- 52:50Speaker 2: slow back. When I played, it felt like it was
- 52:52Speaker 2: just bullets flying everybody, bullets flying, and they do they
- 52:55Speaker 2: look so much younger. It's like, there's we you felt
- 52:58Speaker 2: like you were like a man as a senior.
- 52:59Speaker 5: In right, Like I just even walking through the stands
- 53:02Speaker 5: and like the kids student section. I just to myself,
- 53:07Speaker 5: I was like, I shouldn't be in this area, like
- 53:09Speaker 5: I feel like I'm gonna catch a case, like you know,
- 53:11Speaker 5: just being too close, and it's just, you know, it's
- 53:14Speaker 5: just it felt so weird, like oh, year old, bro,
- 53:17Speaker 5: that's what you are. You're just you're just an old
- 53:19Speaker 5: guy now and you come back and we live the
- 53:21Speaker 5: glory days. What's funny too, is that catch shadows. I
- 53:24Speaker 5: was ass I was actually terrible with football there that
- 53:27Speaker 5: the first the first chef Jepar was my second. That's
- 53:31Speaker 5: when I had like that crazy in same three months
- 53:34Speaker 5: or whatever or three weeks and uh but yeah, I
- 53:37Speaker 5: was like not even good shadows. I was never the
- 53:40Speaker 5: best player on my football team.
- 53:41Speaker 2: Right, you're on the D line, you're on the wrong
- 53:43Speaker 2: side of line.
- 53:43Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, obviously there was some some some issue.
- 53:46Speaker 5: Shut out Chad to gren here for fucking everything up.
- 53:49Speaker 5: But still, bro, it's just it's crazy to go and
- 53:52Speaker 5: like see like you're talking to the parents and you're
- 53:55Speaker 5: sitting in a place where you're like I used to
- 53:57Speaker 5: talk to those kids, like I used to be hanging
- 53:59Speaker 5: out with them. Now I'm at a place where I'm
- 54:01Speaker 5: talking to the parents and I identify more with the
- 54:04Speaker 5: parents obviously, and it's just crazy. Yeah, you know everybody
- 54:08Speaker 5: wants to be McConaughey from days and confused. I couldn't
- 54:11Speaker 5: do it. I couldn't do it man for me?

- 56:05Speaker 5: for us.
- 56:05Speaker 2: It's our year.
- 56:06Speaker 5: It's our year. And here's what I will. I know
- 56:09Speaker 5: it's gonna be a great year. And let me tell
- 56:10Speaker 5: you why. When we go to Oregon for organ O
- 56:13Speaker 5: House State, we get there on Friday, We're gonna go
- 56:16Speaker 5: to a haunted house in Oregon. We've got you say,
- 56:18Speaker 5: promise right now, I promise yes, And any Oregon fans

- 56:24Speaker 5: we should go hanted house wise, gotta go haunted house
- 56:27Speaker 5: and then listen. It's not that hard. Every single day
- 56:29Speaker 5: I'm gonna give you the ground rules for Spootober. October
- 56:32Speaker 5: is now Spootober like it's October.
- 56:34Speaker 2: It's not negotiable.
- 56:35Speaker 5: It's a spook you call it Spooktober. Every day you
- 56:38Speaker 5: need to watch something spooky. Now, it could be a
- 56:40Speaker 5: something as simple as a Disney Channel original movie. You
- 56:44Speaker 5: could literally jump all the way up to the Exorcism
- 56:46Speaker 5: or a demonic type shit everything in between. And you're
- 56:49Speaker 5: probably thinking, like some of these movies like uh, not insidious,
- 56:54Speaker 5: but like Shutter Island not considered a horror movie, but
- 56:56Speaker 5: there's got some spook to it too. Leonardo Dicapri counts
- 56:59Speaker 5: that counts. And you don't for the whole time, but
- 57:01Speaker 5: maybe a little, a nice little snippet.
- 57:02Speaker 2: And again, you can even hit your Charlie Brown's of
- 57:04Speaker 2: the world. You don't have to just scare yourself.

- 1:02:52Speaker 1: We on recording recording? Oh we're we already started the podcast.
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: I was like, when are we hitting the play button.
- 1:02:59Speaker 7: I figured once he kind of mentioned the intro to
- 1:03:02Speaker 7: last their their episode with We're going to get high
- 1:03:05Speaker 7: with him, and then he said, Jesus Christ Biz also
- 1:03:08Speaker 7: has the ability to like he can wear anything and
- 1:03:11Speaker 7: pull it off. Like there's outfits he can wear that
- 1:03:13Speaker 7: if I wore, people would be like, what the fu is.
- 1:03:15Speaker 2: He's got the juice bro, yeahs got.

- 1:03:27Speaker 1: might get me a kill on this a residual as
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: they said.
- 1:03:32Speaker 5: I'm honest.
- 1:03:34Speaker 7: Oh well, oh you think Trickles is any any any
- 1:03:38Speaker 7: lower than about the bunnies. I don't think they're listening
- 1:03:42Speaker 7: to to podcasts from bas and Win.
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:03:45Speaker 5: Okay, so let me just let me let me phrase this.
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: You're cute.
- 1:03:49Speaker 5: When I was at Michigan, there was like the puck
- 1:03:52Speaker 5: bunny thing was so real, Like there was just a
- 1:03:54Speaker 5: group of girls that were just all about the hockey boys.
- 1:03:57Speaker 5: Was that for like that for y'all like coming up?
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: Yeah, Like it wasn't uh in junior where I played,
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: it wasn't crazy. I think if you played for like
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: the London nights and you're in you're living in London, Ontario,
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: where Western University is. It would have been crazy Witt
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: went to college. Well maybe it was a little different
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: in college, but fuck man, in junior we had like
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: curfew and shit, we weren't even allowed to go to
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: bars like what and especially when I was playing in
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: Saga in Michigan, drinking age was twenty one like I was.
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: I was seventeen eighteen and then turned nineteen and then
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: I was off to Owen Sound and Buddy, their Owen
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: Sound is not where you go to meet women. I'll
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: just put it that way.
- 1:04:31Speaker 5: Owen Sound does not.
- 1:04:33Speaker 4: There was obviously like football girls, right.
- 1:04:36Speaker 5: Yeah, but I feel like there's just like different types,
- 1:04:41Speaker 5: like how I feel like football.
- 1:04:43Speaker 7: Hockey games are better in port. Hockey's better in sport
- 1:04:46Speaker 7: to witness and watch than football.
- 1:04:48Speaker 5: Yeah, if we're going to change the subjects to that,
- 1:04:49Speaker 5: I agree, yeah.
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: Agree, Yeah.
- 1:04:52Speaker 4: Maybe these girls enjoy like the live actual hockey.
- 1:04:55Speaker 5: Was more enjoyable to watch, and they'd be crushing it
- 1:04:57Speaker 5: if the NFL said no, no, hockey is more more fun
- 1:05:00Speaker 5: to watch in person. Football is better to watch. Football
- 1:05:03Speaker 5: is built for TV.
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: I can't. That's all me.
- 1:05:06Speaker 4: I went to a couple of.
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: It's brutal. Hey, they're brutal, brutal, there's so much better
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: and that's why it is what it is.
- 1:05:15Speaker 4: Okay, tell me this. There's five million timeouts.
- 1:05:18Speaker 7: I get it all the TV dough there's very rarely
- 1:05:21Speaker 7: in the NFL like good games.
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: They're all blowouts.
- 1:05:25Speaker 7: It feels like so at least on TV, you're just
- 1:05:27Speaker 7: clicking around, you're watching other games. When you're at a
- 1:05:29Speaker 7: game that there's five million timeouts and it's a blow out,
- 1:05:32Speaker 7: it's like, this is not good, brutal.
- 1:05:34Speaker 5: It's not a terrible take. It really isn't.
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: Exactly exactly it's all that matters. Well, that's why it
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: makes so much money. Hockey does not transfer over on
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: television nearly as well as it is in person. It's
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: it's like, it's not.
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: Even a reason for that.
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: You think, well, they've tried to experiment with different camera
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: angles and stuff, and I just it just doesn't work.
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: You got to keep the original kind of pain at
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: a certain level. And like in the NFL, you guys
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: have those zip lines above so it's almost like you're
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: in the huddle and then it zips out and then
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: you're seeing it's crazy the technology and how they're able
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: to do it. Hockey, they just they they haven't found
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: a way. They've spent money, they've they've had universities do trials,
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: and it's too it's because of the speed of the
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: game and the constant movement. It's too much for the viewer.
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: It almost like confuses them to the point where they're like,
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: I got a fucking headache watching this. Like even with
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: they started doing the behind the netcam on the power
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: play and they would go and they would kind of
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: just rotate it, and even people complained about that. I
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: didn't mind that angle, but uh, it just uh it's
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: I mean, hockey's gonna keep doing growing and being better
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: in the States. I just think that it doesn't transfer
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: over quite the bite that the NFL has.
- 1:06:50Speaker 5: Has the NHL ever experimented with like a like a
- 1:06:53Speaker 5: skycam where they have it like trail behind and then
- 1:06:56Speaker 5: have maybe like two cameras on both sides so they
- 1:06:58Speaker 5: can follow.
- 1:06:58Speaker 7: There is something like that now where a camera rips
- 1:07:01Speaker 7: along the above the glass, and I think I think
- 1:07:05Speaker 7: it's it's it's pretty good actually, but the biggest thing
- 1:07:08Speaker 7: would be NFL is so like that. The hits and
- 1:07:13Speaker 7: how fast these guys are, it's incredible, and the cameras
- 1:07:16Speaker 7: right down on the field.
- 1:07:17Speaker 4: You see the replays that.
- 1:07:19Speaker 7: They got the full spree speed replays where you hear
- 1:07:21Speaker 7: the crashes hockey. Because of the boards on TV, you
- 1:07:25Speaker 7: don't see how fast they're going. But that's why if
- 1:07:28Speaker 7: people go sit front row, like my father in law
- 1:07:30Speaker 7: got tickets now behind the Bruins net and he's like,
- 1:07:33Speaker 7: I cannot believe the speed and the size of these guys,
- 1:07:36Speaker 7: But on TV it doesn't show. So that's why in person,
- 1:07:39Speaker 7: I mean, I think the boards aspect is the biggest
- 1:07:42Speaker 7: thing you can't get right there, like those cameras on.
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: The field in the NFL.
- 1:07:46Speaker 7: But it's but hockey's in a great spot. But I
- 1:07:49Speaker 7: was gonna say about football I saw today. I think
- 1:07:51Speaker 7: Dante Barstol did a blog about the product being bad.
- 1:07:55Speaker 7: But how the numbers are their their skyrocketing still the
- 1:07:58Speaker 7: NFL and they worship It's crazy.
- 1:08:01Speaker 5: It's become like a show. It's like the TV is
- 1:08:03Speaker 5: like an event. Hockey is just here when you watch,
- 1:08:07Speaker 5: but hockey on games like you don't really get a
- 1:08:09Speaker 5: full understanding of how fast everyone's going. No, you just
- 1:08:11Speaker 5: kind of see, like you said, the lens where it
- 1:08:13Speaker 5: goes back and forth. Football. I feel like when you
- 1:08:16Speaker 5: watch it on TV, it looks so much faster than
- 1:08:18Speaker 5: when you view it in person. I was at the
- 1:08:20Speaker 5: Titans game this past weekend and I was sitting up
- 1:08:22Speaker 5: in this suite looking down, and it was like everyone's
- 1:08:25Speaker 5: trying to just it didn't seem like crazy fast to me.
- 1:08:28Speaker 7: Well, yeah, and if you're sitting up high in an
- 1:08:29Speaker 7: NHL arena, it's definitely similar to that where you can't
- 1:08:33Speaker 7: tell like the physicality and the speed, but you're still
- 1:08:36Speaker 7: seeing plays developed that you can't on TV watching hockey,
- 1:08:40Speaker 7: and it's just.
- 1:08:41Speaker 4: In person the best sport for me. Yeah, yeah, I
- 1:08:44Speaker 4: mean yeah.
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: I actually prefer watching it, like as a former player.
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: I like watching it from up top because I like
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: seeing it all develop, Like I don't need to be
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: on the glass from like a viewership perspective. I kind
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: of like being up top. No, I love it.
- 1:08:59Speaker 7: And will would you say if you sat up high
- 1:09:01Speaker 7: in an NFL stadium where the coordinators are, would you
- 1:09:04Speaker 7: see plays developed? Would you realize right away when a
- 1:09:06Speaker 7: guy missed assignment or like do you know you know
- 1:09:08Speaker 7: what I mean? In the game, Is it like hockey
- 1:09:10Speaker 7: where you can see all how a breakaway happens?
- 1:09:12Speaker 2: Yeah, but you time, we're still pretty good. Like even
- 1:09:15Speaker 2: if you're on the front ruck, I still feel like
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: you're a good distance to wait where you're kind of
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: seeing the entire formation.
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: Okay, so I.
- 1:09:20Speaker 5: Don't think like not like not a whole lot. I guess, well,
- 1:09:23Speaker 5: I disagree with that. When we went and did the
- 1:09:25Speaker 5: spring give an ASU, is so hard for me to
- 1:09:28Speaker 5: tell who was who and what was going on. I
- 1:09:30Speaker 5: couldn't see the far side of the field. But when
- 1:09:32Speaker 5: I was up there at that game this weekend, you
- 1:09:34Speaker 5: see the formations. You see her protection breaks down. That's fair.
- 1:09:37Speaker 5: You see like people hitting gaps and stuff like that, Like, oh,
- 1:09:39Speaker 5: you could see that all the running back missed the
- 1:09:40Speaker 5: gap there, right, This guy.
- 1:09:42Speaker 7: He happened really like right before it happens almost yeah,
- 1:09:46Speaker 7: like up top you see it in hockey at least
- 1:09:48Speaker 7: you see a pucket rimmed around. You see two guys
- 1:09:50Speaker 7: take off, and you're like, dude, if this pucket's by
- 1:09:52Speaker 7: this defense and it's pension, these guys are gone because
- 1:09:54Speaker 7: you've already seen him from up top, go do you
- 1:09:56Speaker 7: know what I'm saying kind of.
- 1:09:58Speaker 5: Like what you're saying to me is but like being
- 1:10:01Speaker 5: a casual fan of hockey, the development of place, to me,
- 1:10:04Speaker 5: it looks like just five guys holding the zone the
- 1:10:06Speaker 5: entire time, and you're like you're kind of just watching
- 1:10:08Speaker 5: guys kind of together. You really see it in power play,
- 1:10:11Speaker 5: like with the four how they kind of rotate, like
- 1:10:14Speaker 5: I think that's fascinating. But when it's five on five,
- 1:10:16Speaker 5: to me, it just seems like now they're duking out.
- 1:10:19Speaker 5: The two defensemen are just kind of chilling back there
- 1:10:21Speaker 5: kind of hey, don't let you get past the blue line.
- 1:10:22Speaker 5: And that's really it. But you guys actually do guys
- 1:10:24Speaker 5: actually have plays like Tochi yelling I run twister.
- 1:10:28Speaker 7: There's face off plays, but there's like when you're on
- 1:10:31Speaker 7: the ice, you're just like talking to your line mates
- 1:10:33Speaker 7: and you're talking on the bench like go here next time,
- 1:10:35Speaker 7: and you're all like it's like knowing what you're gonna
- 1:10:37Speaker 7: do before you do it. There's not like plays I
- 1:10:40Speaker 7: think you kind of like there's systems in a sense
- 1:10:42Speaker 7: of like how you play in structure and how you
- 1:10:44Speaker 7: pressure teams in the neutral zone.
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: I would say it's evolved to where it's it's like
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: it's very it's a lot more in depth now than
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: it was like fifteen years ago, just because of the
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: amount of video, the amount of coaches like talk talks
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: about like their neutral neutral zone four check and little
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: thing like that, like a power play zone entry where
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: you might have a couple different options of how you like,
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: like you go up ice get control. Yeah, so there, Yeah,
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: there's not as much as you think because it's such
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: a reactionary sport, but in controlled settings, like for instance,
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: a controlled breakout, like you said, off of a face off.
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: So there's certain situations of the game you can control,
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: and you gotta like practice the practice those in training camp,
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: like you would run plays like.
- 1:11:26Speaker 5: What's a control breakout? I mean, because I'm thinking to myself.
- 1:11:29Speaker 7: Like, so so you stay defense is behind the net,
- 1:11:32Speaker 7: and the center swings down and he either picks up
- 1:11:35Speaker 7: the puck or he goes. The other team has kind
- 1:11:37Speaker 7: of sat back. Once you get control behind the net,
- 1:11:39Speaker 7: they're just gonna be like, all right, we have a
- 1:11:41Speaker 7: set four check, right, you know how to combat what
- 1:11:43Speaker 7: they're doing.
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: Yeah, So if like the center swings the defensive side
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: of the coach like on the defensive team, he'll say,
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: swing with that centerman. Some of them might say, like
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: all of you five guys stand in the neutral zone
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: and just kind of let them have it up there
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: and then try to come up the ice. So it's yeah,
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: it's constantly evolving, and then like game to game, you're
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: getting a video breakdown of their power play, their penalty
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: kill and these types of situations what they might do
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: off face off, face off plays, their control breakout, their
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: zone entry on a power play. So you kind of
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: get that five to eight minutes of video in the
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: morning of the day of a game. But the thing
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: that's hard about hockey is you're playing, you know, thirty
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: one other teams, so you.
- 1:12:26Speaker 4: Have to do different systems.
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: So you have to have a team who kind of
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: is easily able to adapt, like has hockey smarts and saying, okay,
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: today we're not doing the same four check we were
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: last night on the control breakout because maybe that centerman
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: who swung for the offensive team went behind the neck,
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: grabbed the puck and it's fucking caprice off where he
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: can actually go end to end by himself. So it
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: is just like coaching is so fucking important nowadays just
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: because of how good the league's gotten and all these
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: miny details that you have to teach your players and
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: then keep them reminded of as it goes.
- 1:12:59Speaker 7: In football, do you base team to team change your defense?
- 1:13:03Speaker 4: Oh?
- 1:13:03Speaker 2: Absolutely, depending on the system that the offense is running
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: or defense.
- 1:13:07Speaker 7: So would there be a game obviously it's different for
- 1:13:09Speaker 7: offensive line as a defensive player, would there be a
- 1:13:12Speaker 7: game you're playing a certain defense where you're not like
- 1:13:14Speaker 7: in because it's that defense.
- 1:13:17Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't play that one, right, So you have
- 1:13:19Speaker 2: like bigger personnel and lighter personnel, or its like you're
- 1:13:22Speaker 2: in twenty one personnel which is two running backs and
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: one tight end, or twelve personnel or thirteen personnel, like
- 1:13:28Speaker 2: those are bigger body personnels to where they're running at
- 1:13:30Speaker 2: least double tight end. So you play more of a
- 1:13:33Speaker 2: base package too that have bigger bodies in their three
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: four linebackers. There's a lot of teams now just playing
- 1:13:38Speaker 2: with two linebackers. But then when it gets lighter in
- 1:13:41Speaker 2: the box. So you see with the Chiefs when they
- 1:13:43Speaker 2: spread it out, they're three wide, So thirteen personnel eleven
- 1:13:47Speaker 2: or my fault, not thirteen eleven personnel, ten personnel.
- 1:13:50Speaker 5: When they're breaking out with a lot more receiving more.
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: Then you need more speed, more speed, so you swap
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: out a back or with a nickel, you swap out
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: a back or with a dime.
- 1:13:58Speaker 5: It's like, yeah, like that's why I view football is
- 1:14:02Speaker 5: like there's always a break, and it's like, all right,
- 1:14:05Speaker 5: someone won a battle here, Now what are we gonna
- 1:14:08Speaker 5: put on the field to best combat each right?
- 1:14:10Speaker 2: Right?
- 1:14:11Speaker 5: And everything situational.
- 1:14:12Speaker 2: So like any given week, you're starting off and you're
- 1:14:15Speaker 2: breaking down the running game like first and ten, their
- 1:14:18Speaker 2: play action off the run game, their first and ten
- 1:14:21Speaker 2: or second ten passes. Then as you get later in
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: the week, you're breaking down third down, and not just
- 1:14:26Speaker 2: third down, but third down from what do they do
- 1:14:28Speaker 2: from at third and one? Does this team combine one
- 1:14:31Speaker 2: to three? Will they call any play? Will they just
- 1:14:33Speaker 2: have a couple go to plays in third and one?
- 1:14:35Speaker 2: So it's third one, third and two to three, third
- 1:14:38Speaker 2: and four to seven and third and eight plus Yeah,
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: from all different situations.
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: How much time are you consuming a video setting up
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: for that next week?
- 1:14:47Speaker 5: Way more than you on the field, Like hours and hours,
- 1:14:50Speaker 5: Like you're if on Wednesday, if you go in the
- 1:14:52Speaker 5: building your first meetings at seven am, you're watching film
- 1:14:57Speaker 5: and either with your offense team or in your into
- 1:15:01Speaker 5: like your individual line or linebackers, and then you go
- 1:15:05Speaker 5: to practice and then.
- 1:15:06Speaker 7: Watch video seven till eleven. I'm not falling asleep, no.
- 1:15:11Speaker 5: Like, oh, yeah, you you deal with that all the time.
- 1:15:13Speaker 5: But that's like, that's that's rookie ship, like you, that's professional. Yeah,
- 1:15:16Speaker 5: the first time you you kind of start to doze off, Hey,
- 1:15:19Speaker 5: stand up, if you're having a problem, have a coffee
- 1:15:21Speaker 5: or whatever. That it's like that's the grind of the season.
- 1:15:24Speaker 5: It's not necessarily the practices of the games. Like that
- 1:15:26Speaker 5: does wear on you eventually, but like it's the constant
- 1:15:29Speaker 5: every day and the redundancy of Like Wednesday is the
- 1:15:32Speaker 5: first install, so you're doing, uh, your base packages, the
- 1:15:36Speaker 5: meat and potatoes of what we're gonna do in this game.
- 1:15:38Speaker 5: And then the next day you focus more on third
- 1:15:40Speaker 5: down and everything in the red zone and yeah, red
- 1:15:43Speaker 5: red zone. And then Friday you go through like your
- 1:15:45Speaker 5: two minute calls, which is usually numbered one through ten,
- 1:15:48Speaker 5: and one will tell you everything. Odd numbers are usually
- 1:15:51Speaker 5: sliding to the right. Even numbers are signed to the left.
- 1:15:55Speaker 5: Oh god, if you if you go down hundreds, No,
- 1:15:59Speaker 5: it's but it's dude, it's so easy because there's probably
- 1:16:06Speaker 5: twenty for real football players, twenty football players in football,
- 1:16:08Speaker 5: and I'm I could be totally off with the number.
- 1:16:10Speaker 5: But they're all like, yeah, I don't know, Yeah, there's
- 1:16:17Speaker 5: total Yeah, but I'm saying, like, if you looked at
- 1:16:19Speaker 5: like there's the different variations place runs and bass pass concepts,
- 1:16:24Speaker 5: there's there's only a finite amount. So let's just say
- 1:16:27Speaker 5: it's twenty. But on top of that, there's like fifty
- 1:16:30Speaker 5: different wrinkles to each play. How you're going to motion,
- 1:16:32Speaker 5: where guys line up, and then you're obviously playing the
- 1:16:35Speaker 5: other side too, how do they play off its? Are
- 1:16:37Speaker 5: they penetrators or are they two gappers? So now you're thinking
- 1:16:39Speaker 5: how you're getting your combination blocks differently. These corners play
- 1:16:42Speaker 5: press like we were talking earlier with blitzes, Like you're like, oh,
- 1:16:45Speaker 5: if you're if you're a left tackle and you see
- 1:16:47Speaker 5: a guy coming off the edge, what do you do.
- 1:16:49Speaker 5: It's like, well, is it my assignment to get that
- 1:16:50Speaker 5: guy or is it my assignment to take this guy
- 1:16:52Speaker 5: I have on me, and if it is, I usually
- 1:16:55Speaker 5: would take the team like all the stuff. When like
- 1:16:57Speaker 5: we're as a team together, they would kind of give
- 1:17:00Speaker 5: me their tendencies and game plans as a whole, and
- 1:17:01Speaker 5: then on my own time when I get home, I
- 1:17:03Speaker 5: would evaluate the individual player that most of my most
- 1:17:05Speaker 5: of my matchup is that, which I'm sure Like if
- 1:17:07Speaker 5: you're playing the Saints and you're like, god forbid, it's
- 1:17:10Speaker 5: second down, you have to go out with Alvin Kamara, Right,
- 1:17:13Speaker 5: you're watching every option round album.
- 1:17:14Speaker 2: Yeah, from your guys standpoint, you're you're you're realizing, like,
- 1:17:17Speaker 2: all right, do they play more of a two shell
- 1:17:19Speaker 2: defense or are they a big heavy cover three defense
- 1:17:22Speaker 2: this week? What do they do when you got them
- 1:17:24Speaker 2: in a situation and we motion them out to empty?
- 1:17:27Speaker 2: How do they adjust an empty? Does the linebacker like
- 1:17:29Speaker 2: I prefer check, we're at to stay and get there's
- 1:17:32Speaker 2: the line?
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: Does the linebacker stand the podcast?
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah?
- 1:17:36Speaker 5: But like you when you guys are saying, when you
- 1:17:37Speaker 5: guys are saying centers coming for check, stay in the
- 1:17:40Speaker 5: gray zone and they come on up or whatever the zone?
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: How many how many of your listeners.
- 1:17:49Speaker 4: The zone forever, now forever?
- 1:17:51Speaker 5: What is it?
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: How many.
- 1:17:56Speaker 5: Area turnovers?
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: Right? How many of your listeners like appreciate you guys
- 1:17:59Speaker 1: get the weeds on the football talk or do you
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: think not a lot of them understand that the same question.
- 1:18:06Speaker 4: That's the same thing two hours ago.
- 1:18:09Speaker 5: Yeah, literally when we were.
- 1:18:14Speaker 2: You were legit there when we asked was about to.
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: Sometimes we start getting in the weeds and like we'll
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: get one.
- 1:18:21Speaker 4: Hockey people like, yeah, they're.
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: Like, we don't give a fuck, tell us a kill story.
- 1:18:27Speaker 1: I'm sure people they appreciate it.
- 1:18:30Speaker 5: Football we kind of got in the weeds a little
- 1:18:32Speaker 5: bit even in the intro. But let me ask you this,
- 1:18:34Speaker 5: like playoffs, if you're playing a team possibly seven times,
- 1:18:38Speaker 5: how redundant does that get?
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: Not? Really?
- 1:18:40Speaker 7: Because the playoffs are so like incredible to be a
- 1:18:43Speaker 7: part of. You're so fired up for every game and
- 1:18:46Speaker 7: excited to go over the game tape and if you win,
- 1:18:49Speaker 7: let's keep this thing going. If you lose, like we
- 1:18:50Speaker 7: can only lose three more times. So like, yeah, January,
- 1:18:54Speaker 7: you're going through film, you're playing Jersey, You're watching their
- 1:18:57Speaker 7: power play and their penalty kill and yeah, you got
- 1:18:59Speaker 7: another game.
- 1:18:59Speaker 4: It's game fifty six. But when you get to April
- 1:19:02Speaker 4: and May and.
- 1:19:02Speaker 7: June, hopefully you're so dialed in and excited and like
- 1:19:06Speaker 7: cannot wait to get to.
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: The every day. Do you ever think I don't like
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: the redundancy between that time. There's too many games.
- 1:19:14Speaker 4: Too many games, eighty two games before playoffs.
- 1:19:17Speaker 1: If they put it down to seventy, I think it
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: would be the perfect amount because you would get a
- 1:19:21Speaker 1: little bit more rested between games, so they'll be fresher,
- 1:19:24Speaker 1: the product will be better and every game will mean more,
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: and I think a little bit less out of conference,
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: like create that rivalry within the conference of like where
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: you're clawing to get out rather than I just think
- 1:19:37Speaker 1: eighty two is way too much. This is topic.
- 1:19:40Speaker 4: I just have to say this quick. It's not really
- 1:19:41Speaker 4: off topic, but.
- 1:19:42Speaker 7: This is why I originally the Premier League soccer in England.
- 1:19:47Speaker 7: I was originally like, what the fuck? There's no playoffs
- 1:19:50Speaker 7: but the regular season champ is the champ and the
- 1:19:52Speaker 7: bottom three teams get relegated. That would obviously never happen.
- 1:19:55Speaker 7: It's actually sick how they do it. Every game matter,
- 1:19:58Speaker 7: every game matter.
- 1:19:59Speaker 5: So much of them right until what if one team
- 1:20:03Speaker 5: is so far in the last five games of the season,
- 1:20:06Speaker 5: they're like, we're the champs.
- 1:20:08Speaker 2: I was gonna say too, Like, what's what's interesting with
- 1:20:10Speaker 2: like the like the team sports that go deep in
- 1:20:13Speaker 2: the playoffs and have like seven rounds, like all your
- 1:20:15Speaker 2: guys is like the NBA, you think about it, they
- 1:20:18Speaker 2: have a lot of games. The MLB has a lot
- 1:20:20Speaker 2: of games in the regular seasons, obviously, playoff basketball, playoff baseball,
- 1:20:25Speaker 2: playoff hockey, like it all seems to get really heightened
- 1:20:27Speaker 2: around your sport then to whereas with football, I feel
- 1:20:29Speaker 2: like since you only play seventeen games, like Monday night football,
- 1:20:33Speaker 2: Thursday night matters everything, like expect every game matters.
- 1:20:37Speaker 4: And I saw a stat that.
- 1:20:40Speaker 7: I think one of the last forty four teams or
- 1:20:42Speaker 7: something that started own two made the playoffs. So you
- 1:20:45Speaker 7: get off to a slow start, right, I gotta ran,
- 1:20:47Speaker 7: I got a current football player question for you.
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: Can I go into that?
- 1:20:50Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 1:20:51Speaker 7: No, why is it? Did they let Derek Henry go
- 1:20:55Speaker 7: from your Titans guys? A French football fan. I saw
- 1:20:59Speaker 7: him the other day against Dallas.
- 1:21:01Speaker 5: Yeah, went off.
- 1:21:02Speaker 4: I'm like this guy Tennessee like didn't play him at
- 1:21:05Speaker 4: the end of the year that much. And then didn't
- 1:21:06Speaker 4: sign him.
- 1:21:07Speaker 2: But yeah, I love that question right.
- 1:21:09Speaker 4: Now, you'll you'll ask your answer.
- 1:21:11Speaker 5: Well, yeah, yeah, Like here here's my my If I'm
- 1:21:14Speaker 5: putting myself in the GM's brain of the TENNI, no,
- 1:21:18Speaker 5: I don't, but this is this would be my assumption.
- 1:21:20Speaker 5: There is only one back in the last twenty years
- 1:21:22Speaker 5: that has outplayed their second contract in their first contract.
- 1:21:25Speaker 4: That's Derrick Henry.
- 1:21:27Speaker 5: So if you're thinking of your ROI from a backstandpoint
- 1:21:30Speaker 5: some point end, the market's gone so low, so you're
- 1:21:32Speaker 5: essentially my My thought is this, like Derrick Henry was
- 1:21:36Speaker 5: the Titans, yep, and you know your ceiling was at
- 1:21:39Speaker 5: one point, maybe a super Bowl when you had Aj Brown,
- 1:21:42Speaker 5: Tannehill was firing all cylinders. You had guys like actually
- 1:21:44Speaker 5: killing it. But like then AJ was gone. It was
- 1:21:48Speaker 5: really more one dimensional. Derek, and you saw that your
- 1:21:50Speaker 5: ceiling was first second round the playoffs, like how do
- 1:21:52Speaker 5: you get how do you get over that hump? And
- 1:21:54Speaker 5: their thought is is like, if we bring in more
- 1:21:56Speaker 5: speed everywhere to we're not so predictable. We cut eyes
- 1:22:00Speaker 5: with Derek because we know that eventually that decline is
- 1:22:02Speaker 5: going to happen. It's just inevitable. We get rid of him,
- 1:22:05Speaker 5: we we we get our best ROI out of it,
- 1:22:08Speaker 5: and then we have like a team that can like
- 1:22:09Speaker 5: throw it all over the yard not working right now?
- 1:22:12Speaker 1: The risk? Why not just sign them for what do
- 1:22:15Speaker 1: you get?
- 1:22:16Speaker 5: Well, I think he got two years sixteen, so they couldn't.
- 1:22:20Speaker 1: Two years, and so if he he drops off in
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: year one, it's like fuck. I think he deserves a
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: swan song. I mean his last year, if he was
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: played half the games.
- 1:22:30Speaker 5: I would have loved it for I would have loved
- 1:22:31Speaker 5: for Derek to stay. I just think I think everybody would.
- 1:22:35Speaker 5: Nine years that I was on the Titans, it was,
- 1:22:37Speaker 5: besides the first two years, essentially the same football team.
- 1:22:40Speaker 5: Every year.
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: We're gonna work Derek.
- 1:22:42Speaker 5: Give it to Derek not but like we're we're a
- 1:22:43Speaker 5: tough football team. Didn't make a whole lot of mistakes,
- 1:22:46Speaker 5: and we try to get in third and manageables and
- 1:22:48Speaker 5: get out of there. If we got behind the sticks,
- 1:22:49Speaker 5: it would be over. And so we were just a
- 1:22:51Speaker 5: team that would just grind you out for four quarters.
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: I feel like football is the most cut throat of
- 1:22:55Speaker 1: them all, and like the loyalty is next year. I
- 1:22:58Speaker 1: feel like there's a little bit more or a lot
- 1:23:00Speaker 1: more in hockey, and you can sign these eight year deals,
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: which if you.
- 1:23:04Speaker 2: Was going to say you get bought out, you fully
- 1:23:06Speaker 2: guaranteed deal.
- 1:23:07Speaker 1: You get bought out, you get two thirds of the
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: deal if you're.
- 1:23:11Speaker 5: Over the James James Neil hasn't been in the leaf
- 1:23:13Speaker 5: for like half a decade now, he's still getting paid.
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: Right, So they's wild. No, So what they do is,
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: let's say he got bought out and he had three
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: years left on his deal and he was making six
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: million bucks, you would get two thirds of that, so
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: four million over per per year, so three years twelve
- 1:23:29Speaker 1: million over six years, so twice the length of how
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: many years you had left. So they kind of space
- 1:23:36Speaker 1: it out. So if he if you had three years left,
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: he get paid for six years, but two thirds can't
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: take care of the guy afterwards, spend it stupid and
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: he gets bought out.
- 1:23:45Speaker 7: Some guys get bought out signed with a new team
- 1:23:48Speaker 7: because they're bought out, not because they're not end each
- 1:23:50Speaker 7: ollers anymore.
- 1:23:51Speaker 4: But it's just like hard cap, hard cap, we got
- 1:23:53Speaker 4: to get rid of money. This guy's still solid.
- 1:23:55Speaker 7: But like you said with Derek, Henry, like he's getting older,
- 1:23:58Speaker 7: You get bought out, get thy signed with another team,
- 1:24:01Speaker 7: end up making more than you would have.
- 1:24:03Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a double dip in the leak too, but
- 1:24:05Speaker 5: it's a one year thing. Boy, got the double dip?
- 1:24:08Speaker 5: What's that?
- 1:24:08Speaker 2: I got a double dip?
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: You did?
- 1:24:09Speaker 5: You got a small dip, A small small yeah, hey,
- 1:24:15Speaker 5: but a dip nonetheless. Yeah, but it will because my
- 1:24:18Speaker 5: brain is not firing. Also, olds, how do you double dip?
- 1:24:22Speaker 4: You just said it's allowed in the NFL for one.
- 1:24:25Speaker 5: You can, but it's like a year by your base.
- 1:24:28Speaker 2: No, every vested like veteran can double dip one time
- 1:24:32Speaker 2: in their career. So when I am as a vested
- 1:24:36Speaker 2: player and I'm on the day one opening roster, like
- 1:24:39Speaker 2: if the ball kicks off and I'm on on that unit,
- 1:24:41Speaker 2: like my year is now owed to me. Okay if
- 1:24:45Speaker 2: they were to if they were to cut me, I
- 1:24:48Speaker 2: would still get that salary that they owe me, and
- 1:24:51Speaker 2: then I could still sign with somewhere else and then
- 1:24:53Speaker 2: you also get the money on top of it.
- 1:24:54Speaker 1: That's a blessing in disguise. Yeah. Yeah, I was going
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: to ask as far as like that ruthlessness of the
- 1:25:00Speaker 1: fact that they just snip guys. Has the Players Association
- 1:25:04Speaker 1: and Football done a better job to claw back at
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: more like guaranteed and how I guess less ruthless. It
- 1:25:11Speaker 1: is from a guy who could play, you know, you
- 1:25:14Speaker 1: know he could be gone the next day after an
- 1:25:16Speaker 1: injury or something.
- 1:25:17Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, I'm to speak positively about the nflp A going.
- 1:25:22Speaker 4: I mean you're not willing to.
- 1:25:24Speaker 5: No, I just don't think they I don't think I
- 1:25:26Speaker 5: think they could be way more effective than they actually are.
- 1:25:28Speaker 1: Do you think that, knowing whatever that comes from the
- 1:25:31Speaker 1: guys making sixty million a year though stepping up on
- 1:25:34Speaker 1: behalf of those guys.
- 1:25:35Speaker 5: I think your I think your problem is is the
- 1:25:37Speaker 5: degrees of payment are insane. Like on a team, you
- 1:25:41Speaker 5: have three to five guys that are broke off, like
- 1:25:43Speaker 5: don't have to work again the rest of their lives.
- 1:25:44Speaker 5: And then the rest of.
- 1:25:45Speaker 4: It is like they're eating the classes.
- 1:25:47Speaker 5: Like you have your upper class and then the middle
- 1:25:49Speaker 5: class up.
- 1:25:50Speaker 2: The middle classes.
- 1:25:50Speaker 5: But basically, yeah, cut a very very large amount of
- 1:25:54Speaker 5: the lower class. So when you get to the CBA
- 1:25:56Speaker 5: negotiations to collective Bargaining Agreement and like renegotiating everything, it's it's
- 1:26:00Speaker 5: the same way as you look at politics, like they
- 1:26:02Speaker 5: throw out a couple of things like, oh, we're going
- 1:26:04Speaker 5: to give a higher minimum to rookies or guys that are,
- 1:26:07Speaker 5: you know, under your four years, and everyone's like, oh,
- 1:26:09Speaker 5: we got to jump at that because the majority of
- 1:26:11Speaker 5: the league is like four years or younger. Because there's
- 1:26:14Speaker 5: such a high turnover rate and the average of.
- 1:26:16Speaker 4: The league is too. It's so big, dude, that.
- 1:26:20Speaker 1: That turnover rate has hit the NHL because it's way
- 1:26:24Speaker 1: it wasn't like that like ten years ago.
- 1:26:26Speaker 5: Guys is a higher demand of athletes now like a
- 1:26:28Speaker 5: higher supply of athletes. There's more. I just feel like
- 1:26:32Speaker 5: with all the access we have to social media and
- 1:26:34Speaker 5: the training and all that, even for when I was
- 1:26:36Speaker 5: in high school, I see what these kids had. I
- 1:26:38Speaker 5: was at my high school last week and it just
- 1:26:40Speaker 5: seems like their facilities are nicer. They just have a right,
- 1:26:42Speaker 5: they're put in a better position to be successful. So
- 1:26:45Speaker 5: you just got kids peddling out that are like like
- 1:26:48Speaker 5: the I guess the barrier of entry has kind of
- 1:26:50Speaker 5: just done this a little bit more so they can
- 1:26:51Speaker 5: cycle out that bottom you know ten yeah, way cheaper,
- 1:26:57Speaker 5: which is what.
- 1:26:58Speaker 1: The NFL is like you got to win.
- 1:27:00Speaker 4: And like with the with the QB on his like rookie.
- 1:27:03Speaker 7: Deal, like like it's five years you want before you
- 1:27:06Speaker 7: got to pay him? If he's a stud, right, you
- 1:27:08Speaker 7: gotta so it's you're looking for your cheapest options.
- 1:27:12Speaker 2: It's like with the Bengals, they when they had Joe
- 1:27:14Speaker 2: Burrow and they knew he's gonna be a star, it's
- 1:27:15Speaker 2: like they're poor. They're trying to pour more money into
- 1:27:17Speaker 2: the offensive line and get him weapons. With Jamar chasing
- 1:27:20Speaker 2: those guys, Uh, they're just aund.
- 1:27:22Speaker 1: Question about him, like handsome guy. Obviously he's got the
- 1:27:25Speaker 1: world by the balls. He's star quarterback. Like I don't
- 1:27:29Speaker 1: know if I want to like my star quarterback kind
- 1:27:31Speaker 1: of walking in with these fucking outfits every time like that,
- 1:27:34Speaker 1: like I brought him, just be a little bit more
- 1:27:36Speaker 1: all business.
- 1:27:36Speaker 5: That's so hockey of you.
- 1:27:38Speaker 1: What do you mean that's so hot hot? I thought
- 1:27:40Speaker 1: you'd like the outfits.
- 1:27:41Speaker 2: Yeah, I got hit.
- 1:27:45Speaker 5: The outfit he wore to night was kind of I
- 1:27:47Speaker 5: didn't see.
- 1:27:48Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
- 1:27:49Speaker 5: It's kind of like I get like Pink.
- 1:27:52Speaker 1: I got I get switched up a little bit. But
- 1:27:54Speaker 1: he's got like the frosted tips going. He looks like
- 1:27:56Speaker 1: Kendall that he's like a thrown M and M you
- 1:28:01Speaker 1: know Ken dollh phase where it's just like Buddy, like
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: get off your fucking Instagram grid and get the fucking playbook. No,
- 1:28:10Speaker 1: on my fucking mind.
- 1:28:10Speaker 5: I think I think Joe is like one of the
- 1:28:13Speaker 5: guys you don't got to worry about. Like jo just
- 1:28:17Speaker 5: seems like a cat that's like dial like dial the fuck.
- 1:28:21Speaker 1: They say.
- 1:28:21Speaker 2: They say Joe b plays chess against himself and his locker.
- 1:28:25Speaker 5: Like he's just a different cat.
- 1:28:27Speaker 4: Okay, and you're like Austin Matthews shows the flare.
- 1:28:30Speaker 1: No, I'm I think that I would be. I would.
- 1:28:33Speaker 1: I'm saying that if I could have the ladder, like
- 1:28:35Speaker 1: if I could have like Tom Brady walking in like
- 1:28:38Speaker 1: a tailored suit, I'd rather it seems like that guy
- 1:28:41Speaker 1: is just there for business rather than like worrying about
- 1:28:44Speaker 1: this new like trendy outfit.
- 1:28:49Speaker 4: This is coming from a guy wearing a robe, right,
- 1:28:51Speaker 4: Yeah exactly.
- 1:28:52Speaker 1: I wouldn't want me to be a fucking starting quarterback.
- 1:28:55Speaker 1: I wouldn't want me getting the fucking water bottles to
- 1:28:58Speaker 1: win a championship like that's not me being a hypocrite either,
- 1:29:01Speaker 1: Like I was the guy who dressed like a I'm
- 1:29:04Speaker 1: saying I don't want eating the ship.
- 1:29:07Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you get the old school vice.
- 1:29:09Speaker 1: So I guess I was wrong in a sense of
- 1:29:10Speaker 1: maybe in a certain case he's delegating his attention to
- 1:29:14Speaker 1: like something that I would be like, eh, like, let's
- 1:29:16Speaker 1: just win some fucking games here. But you're saying he's
- 1:29:19Speaker 1: highly intelligent, highly committed, and I'm off base on that.
- 1:29:22Speaker 2: Yeah, And it into if he's got a third thing,
- 1:29:25Speaker 2: which again I'm not in the locker room, but if
- 1:29:27Speaker 2: he has good relationships with the guys, like ultimately you
- 1:29:29Speaker 2: want them influence and you know, having influence on the
- 1:29:32Speaker 2: locker room in a positive way. You know, you like,
- 1:29:34Speaker 2: you want the locker room to feel good about the
- 1:29:36Speaker 2: quarterback and you don't care what other people think, right right, Well,
- 1:29:39Speaker 2: and if he checks all those boxes of intelligence said
- 1:29:41Speaker 2: that you guys got jam where you're like, uh, because
- 1:29:45Speaker 2: he's there's guys that can just they're just in that
- 1:29:48Speaker 2: one percent of the one percent and they get the
- 1:29:50Speaker 2: They have a little different they have a different swagger,
- 1:29:51Speaker 2: they can kind of they can.
- 1:29:52Speaker 5: Kind of do what they want. Yeah, but I feel
- 1:29:54Speaker 5: like just being an outsider like kind of casually enjoying hockey.
- 1:29:58Speaker 5: I feel like that's a very true hockey mindset that
- 1:30:01Speaker 5: because they all like you guys have to wear suits,
- 1:30:04Speaker 5: suit and tie all the time. You put a microphone
- 1:30:07Speaker 5: in front of ninety nine hockey.
- 1:30:08Speaker 1: Players, it feels like you guys are more.
- 1:30:12Speaker 5: And even talking to Biz well got that, but like
- 1:30:16Speaker 5: just talking to you guys, like anytime there's a compliment
- 1:30:18Speaker 5: dished your away, you're passing it somewhere else, like you
- 1:30:20Speaker 5: hockey players like don't look at me.
- 1:30:22Speaker 2: Like, don't give him very much.
- 1:30:25Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why I.
- 1:30:28Speaker 5: Was a guy that showed a little flare, sup ban
- 1:30:31Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I feel like he was a flair guy.
- 1:30:33Speaker 5: I didn't know. I don't know anything about his play,
- 1:30:35Speaker 5: but it seemed like one of the things that kind
- 1:30:36Speaker 5: of got him out of Nashville and like sent him
- 1:30:39Speaker 5: somewhere else.
- 1:30:41Speaker 7: But I mean he he was he was like a
- 1:30:45Speaker 7: dynamic player. I mean he would have these end and rushes,
- 1:30:48Speaker 7: especially the illness career of Montreal.
- 1:30:49Speaker 4: All the crowd used to like love them. He'd get
- 1:30:51Speaker 4: the puck and they'd all like start like a small
- 1:30:53Speaker 4: chant and then he just looked wind it up.
- 1:30:55Speaker 1: He was like a legend. But I also feel like
- 1:30:57Speaker 1: it they actually let him be himself in Nashville. And
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: it was more towards the end of his time in
- 1:31:02Speaker 1: Montreal when Bergerban came.
- 1:31:03Speaker 7: In Terran and him had some beefs that went like yeah,
- 1:31:07Speaker 7: in between periods and some of those reality shows that
- 1:31:09Speaker 7: might have followed the Canadians, he's you know, he's giving
- 1:31:11Speaker 7: it to him a bit.
- 1:31:12Speaker 1: Yeah. No, it was more it was more as end
- 1:31:15Speaker 1: time in Montreal, and I knew we were going to
- 1:31:17Speaker 1: talk about the Predators at some point.
- 1:31:20Speaker 5: Yeah, because we were talking earlier and we actually we
- 1:31:22Speaker 5: always do this between a pod. We're talking to somebody,
- 1:31:25Speaker 5: it's like, hey, to save it, but I want to
- 1:31:26Speaker 5: know your thought on the press this year, because everyone
- 1:31:30Speaker 5: I talked to is like, yeah, the Pred's got a squad,
- 1:31:31Speaker 5: a young squad, and they just got Buddy from the Lightning.
- 1:31:33Speaker 4: They had a bunch of buddiesh from Lightning and Vegas.
- 1:31:36Speaker 5: Yeah, so they got studs everywhere and they kind of
- 1:31:38Speaker 5: showed up last year in a big way towards the end, right.
- 1:31:41Speaker 1: Yeah, So Poil handed it off to Barry Trotz who
- 1:31:44Speaker 1: was there as the head coach, and like I I
- 1:31:46Speaker 1: would have assumed at one point it would have just
- 1:31:48Speaker 1: been a complete rebuild based on where they were headed,
- 1:31:51Speaker 1: but it's been a quick retool, like they ended up
- 1:31:54Speaker 1: getting in the.
- 1:31:55Speaker 7: Ryans at each position, which does change the fact that,
- 1:32:00Speaker 7: like the full rebuild might not be necessary. Forward y,
- 1:32:03Speaker 7: they got Forstburg, Yosi and Sorrows, great three stallions.
- 1:32:07Speaker 1: To build to build off them absolutely, and then they
- 1:32:09Speaker 1: go out and get Ryan O'Reilly, which I think that
- 1:32:11Speaker 1: people might have thought he would have signed back in Toronto,
- 1:32:14Speaker 1: but you know, Stanley Cup champion, but on the back
- 1:32:17Speaker 1: nine of his career for sure. I go don't how
- 1:32:19Speaker 1: much gas he has left in the tank. But making
- 1:32:22Speaker 1: obviously a huge blast was getting Marshaso and stam Cooast
- 1:32:25Speaker 1: were also older guys, so it kind of feels like
- 1:32:28Speaker 1: a few of them have maybe even slighted, like Marchaso
- 1:32:30Speaker 1: got hosed in in Vegas and then stamp Coast with
- 1:32:34Speaker 1: the lightning. So they're getting these cagey old veterans and
- 1:32:37Speaker 1: surrounding them with you know, they got a couple of
- 1:32:39Speaker 1: good young players. Evangelista is a good player. Yeah, So
- 1:32:44Speaker 1: they kind of did this retool as opposed to a rebuild,
- 1:32:47Speaker 1: and with goaltending like that and with a solid lineup
- 1:32:50Speaker 1: and good KG veterans that have been there and done that,
- 1:32:54Speaker 1: I think that they're going to for sure make playoffs
- 1:32:56Speaker 1: like and you never know, maybe they can go on
- 1:32:58Speaker 1: a deep run like stam Coast proven champ being Marciso
- 1:33:01Speaker 1: proven champion, Ryan O'Reilly, con smythe Stanley Cup winner, Yosi's
- 1:33:05Speaker 1: All World and then Sarah's is an All World goalie.
- 1:33:08Speaker 1: So I think it's really going to depend on some
- 1:33:10Speaker 1: of these younger players that are are in limbo a
- 1:33:12Speaker 1: little bit and how much they can help the team.
- 1:33:15Speaker 1: And obviously Forsburg amongst those players I mentioned our Elastick.
- 1:33:19Speaker 1: I think you had a fortys I know he's the man.
- 1:33:23Speaker 4: He's a great dude, sick.
- 1:33:26Speaker 7: Yeah, he's a big capast like super skilled star.
- 1:33:30Speaker 1: And and shows up in hard times like you can
- 1:33:33Speaker 1: play that hard playoff style game. So not really sure
- 1:33:36Speaker 1: what to expect from the youth, but hopefully whatever they
- 1:33:39Speaker 1: do have from prospects to youth pops quick, because like
- 1:33:44Speaker 1: I said, all these guys that are their leaders are
- 1:33:47Speaker 1: really on the back nine of their career.
- 1:33:48Speaker 4: So let me let me say too.
- 1:33:49Speaker 7: I think obviously BIZ talks a lot about the no
- 1:33:53Speaker 7: state tax teams.
- 1:33:54Speaker 1: They're one of them in the NHL.
- 1:33:56Speaker 7: Everyone who asked me like favorite of being in a
- 1:33:58Speaker 7: play in I kind of say Montreal.
- 1:34:00Speaker 1: Like where should I go to a game? Nashville.
- 1:34:02Speaker 7: Yeah, that stadium and the fact it's right on broad
- 1:34:08Speaker 7: it's the best set up in the league. Like, if
- 1:34:09Speaker 7: you want to see your team on the road, Yeah,
- 1:34:12Speaker 7: Vegas is cool, go to Nashville.
- 1:34:14Speaker 4: I love that city. They had the draft there in
- 1:34:17Speaker 4: twenty twenty three, and I think busin and I.
- 1:34:19Speaker 1: Said it should be here every year.
- 1:34:20Speaker 7: It's just where the rink is, and how sick of
- 1:34:23Speaker 7: a city Nashville is to visit. It's a hell of
- 1:34:25Speaker 7: a spot now to like have players want to be there.
- 1:34:30Speaker 1: If I was a Canadian, uh, well, I am a Canadian.
- 1:34:32Speaker 1: But if I was telling a Canadian to head down
- 1:34:34Speaker 1: the States to go get an American experience, I would
- 1:34:37Speaker 1: probably say go to Nashville for a weekend and then
- 1:34:40Speaker 1: go taking a game at Bridgestone as like a hockey
- 1:34:42Speaker 1: cultural experience, because I believe that that's what they set
- 1:34:45Speaker 1: up there. I know I fumblefucked out the start. But
- 1:34:48Speaker 1: I think you guys there, yeah, likes more so than
- 1:34:55Speaker 1: sending them to Vegas first, Like.
- 1:34:57Speaker 5: The environment's crazy that I feel like for people from
- 1:35:00Speaker 5: the South, where hockey is not influential at all, they
- 1:35:04Speaker 5: completely understand the assignment of how to get into the game,
- 1:35:07Speaker 5: be about it, have the chance, buy in, steal the
- 1:35:11Speaker 5: red wings, octopus stay. Now we're making the catfish like right,
- 1:35:14Speaker 5: just truly, it's it's like a culture flush.
- 1:35:17Speaker 4: It's SEC football ish for hockey.
- 1:35:19Speaker 5: Yeah, but but you're we're saying the first best and
- 1:35:22Speaker 5: Big Ten is the best conference.
- 1:35:23Speaker 4: You knowllege football not for fans, But what do you mean?
- 1:35:27Speaker 4: Like the SEC games like you've.
- 1:35:29Speaker 5: Ever seen one hundred and fifteen thousand screens?
- 1:35:31Speaker 4: I went to a Michigan game. I went to a
- 1:35:33Speaker 4: Michigan game.
- 1:35:33Speaker 1: It was awesome.
- 1:35:35Speaker 7: And now the Big Ten, I guess is different. You
- 1:35:37Speaker 7: added in USC and you added in somebody else in Oregon.
- 1:35:40Speaker 7: So those two places, actually I don't know if USC's
- 1:35:43Speaker 7: that's it.
- 1:35:43Speaker 4: Sick of an atmosphere.
- 1:35:44Speaker 7: Maybe I'm wrong, But then you got like Rutgers, you
- 1:35:48Speaker 7: got like some teams where every SEC stadium.
- 1:35:51Speaker 4: Am I wrong?
- 1:35:52Speaker 5: Vanderbilt.
- 1:35:52Speaker 4: You guys, are you guys are very biased?
- 1:35:54Speaker 1: You're both Big Ten.
- 1:35:55Speaker 4: It's we're talking, Oh.
- 1:35:56Speaker 1: Me, Vanderbilt is college football bigger than ever? Yeah, you guys,
- 1:36:05Speaker 1: it is, bro.
- 1:36:08Speaker 4: Bigger in the South, it is.
- 1:36:11Speaker 5: I don't know, I don't know.
- 1:36:14Speaker 2: Are you doing are you No?
- 1:36:16Speaker 5: No, I'm really trying to think about it. Bro, think
- 1:36:19Speaker 5: about this. You got Ohio, Michigan, Penn State, even throwing Nebraska, well,
- 1:36:28Speaker 5: that's that Nebraska, Michigan State. Like you go to these
- 1:36:35Speaker 5: schools in the Big Ten, and you start to realize,
- 1:36:38Speaker 5: like people who live around the region fucking die for
- 1:36:41Speaker 5: all of these teams, like they're about it. It's different, like.
- 1:36:46Speaker 4: People are living in that Big Ten.
- 1:36:48Speaker 5: It's a way of life. And then in the South,
- 1:36:51Speaker 5: it's a religion.
- 1:36:53Speaker 2: Religion that sounds kind of like both religion religion deep.
- 1:37:00Speaker 4: Plan excellent, You landed that plane accidently, you got you?
- 1:37:03Speaker 1: I thought it was a.
- 1:37:06Speaker 5: Religion is like the same shit.
- 1:37:07Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna trump my Joe Burrow, take
- 1:37:09Speaker 1: and take the focus off me there, Really you really can,
- 1:37:12Speaker 1: Joe Burrow.
- 1:37:12Speaker 5: I will tell you if Joe Burrow was three and
- 1:37:14Speaker 5: o right now, we would alway sitting here being like, guy, get.
- 1:37:18Speaker 1: Him, because yeah, but he's not what is he owen
- 1:37:20Speaker 1: or one and two?
- 1:37:21Speaker 5: But listen, I think he's about one and two.
- 1:37:24Speaker 7: He's he's down twenty eight thirteen three minutes stuff in
- 1:37:28Speaker 7: the third and about six minutes the game. I bet
- 1:37:32Speaker 7: the Bengals and bought it to minus six and a
- 1:37:34Speaker 7: half which made it minus one thirty three and hammered him.
- 1:37:37Speaker 1: So I believed in him.
- 1:37:38Speaker 7: But right now they're gonna be They're gonna be one
- 1:37:41Speaker 7: and two getting smoked by the command.
- 1:37:42Speaker 5: You really, yeah, Jayden didn't du having new quarterbacks come
- 1:37:45Speaker 5: in that are like can run like that?
- 1:37:47Speaker 2: Yeah, they just get dangerous.
- 1:37:49Speaker 4: He's he's ten.
- 1:37:51Speaker 5: Tyler Murray did his rookie year, Like it's just Cat said,
- 1:37:55Speaker 5: they just deceptive on their legs on the ground.
- 1:37:58Speaker 1: What do you make of all the whole Taylor Swift,
- 1:38:01Speaker 1: the Travis Kelf stuff, Like obviously it's probably talked about
- 1:38:04Speaker 1: way too much and and too often. I don't know
- 1:38:06Speaker 1: if it pisses off your your viewers when you guys
- 1:38:09Speaker 1: talk about it, But like that kind of went nuclear,
- 1:38:11Speaker 1: Like this guy is like gonna make like hundreds of
- 1:38:14Speaker 1: millions when.
- 1:38:16Speaker 5: Their podcast did.
- 1:38:18Speaker 2: Like a hundred million dollar deal.
- 1:38:19Speaker 4: I think New heightsed like paying her to like be
- 1:38:23Speaker 4: at all these games.
- 1:38:24Speaker 5: You know, who knows it can be some deep state stuff?
- 1:38:26Speaker 1: Do you think? So?
- 1:38:27Speaker 4: Oh whoa? But I know I don't truly believe that,
- 1:38:29Speaker 4: but I love like, sorry.
- 1:38:32Speaker 1: What's oh no, what's the like popularity from like a
- 1:38:36Speaker 1: stats perspective, like viewership, Internet clicks?
- 1:38:40Speaker 4: Crazy?
- 1:38:40Speaker 5: The cap would have crazy this year based on revenues
- 1:38:43Speaker 5: generated from twenty twenty three, and that had a lot. Yeah,
- 1:38:45Speaker 5: it was a big ghatto.
- 1:38:49Speaker 1: Whatever.
- 1:38:50Speaker 4: Guy, she's getting paid huh he thinks I'm not to
- 1:38:53Speaker 4: even asking.
- 1:38:54Speaker 2: Just because I think games, Yeah, but just because I
- 1:38:56Speaker 2: think what her and Travis have is real. So if
- 1:38:59Speaker 2: it's she's going to go to the game, she's not
- 1:39:01Speaker 2: like trying.
- 1:39:01Speaker 7: To because it was real and she's like the business
- 1:39:08Speaker 7: woman it seems she is. She would she's at the game.
- 1:39:11Speaker 7: It's popping that. It's the biggest news that she's at
- 1:39:13Speaker 7: a game. You don't think she could be like I.
- 1:39:15Speaker 4: Want to start getting paid for the CBS or NFL.
- 1:39:17Speaker 2: Hell no, bro, she makes like billions of dollars.
- 1:39:21Speaker 4: Rich people they always take aways to make a lot
- 1:39:24Speaker 4: of money.
- 1:39:24Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but what are they what is a big reach?
- 1:39:26Speaker 2: But the what are you charging? Like if you if
- 1:39:29Speaker 2: they're like all right, throwing numbers.
- 1:39:31Speaker 1: But what do you think I want? I want?
- 1:39:33Speaker 4: I want two million bucks every game I go to
- 1:39:38Speaker 4: the NFL.
- 1:39:41Speaker 1: If Swift is a like, hey, can we have your
- 1:39:45Speaker 1: fans vote on who had the worst take by Joe
- 1:39:47Speaker 1: Burrow or that one? I think we should have a
- 1:39:50Speaker 1: vote who's going to walk the plank? Like you think
- 1:39:55Speaker 1: this a bro that's being a bron And you took
- 1:40:00Speaker 1: all the focus off me there.
- 1:40:02Speaker 4: But I don't necessarily believe it.
- 1:40:04Speaker 1: But then I wanted to argue it. But I want
- 1:40:07Speaker 1: to see your bank statements.
- 1:40:08Speaker 5: Do you need Taylor Swift at your game? Is that
- 1:40:10Speaker 5: bad that you're paying too?
- 1:40:11Speaker 1: Apparently you're telling me the cap went up because of it.
- 1:40:14Speaker 4: Yeah, I really went on around, but he goes up
- 1:40:16Speaker 4: huge after.
- 1:40:18Speaker 1: The players must like tell him thank you, thank you
- 1:40:20Speaker 1: every time they line up across from him.
- 1:40:22Speaker 5: Based on what he had sound happy right now, Travis
- 1:40:25Speaker 5: under some hot water right now? He said, probably his
- 1:40:28Speaker 5: first three games have been tough, like not Travis at all,
- 1:40:31Speaker 5: And and there's a new m basically saying like oh
- 1:40:35Speaker 5: we got to see where his priorities are at. Like,
- 1:40:37Speaker 5: this is the first time I think it's the beginning
- 1:40:40Speaker 5: of Travis's career that people are like, what's going on
- 1:40:42Speaker 5: with him? Because he's always was the bench every time
- 1:40:45Speaker 5: and shows up always trying to play.
- 1:40:49Speaker 1: Yeah, but I also wouldn't give a funck till game
- 1:40:52Speaker 1: eight if I'm like the Kansas City Chiefs, because I know,
- 1:40:55Speaker 1: just get ready to come on. Like we talked about
- 1:40:57Speaker 1: the dog Days during the hockey season, game fifty six
- 1:41:00Speaker 1: to you know, sixty two or whatever, like his dog days?
- 1:41:05Speaker 4: What's that It's only six games?
- 1:41:09Speaker 5: Hey, buddy, it's lately put it on the list for
- 1:41:12Speaker 5: the fans to talk about.
- 1:41:13Speaker 1: What take did? Yeah, I did both of mine outweigh wits.
- 1:41:17Speaker 1: I don't even remember where I was the dog days.
- 1:41:20Speaker 4: Dog The dog.
- 1:41:22Speaker 1: Days for k C and and him are like games
- 1:41:24Speaker 1: one through four. They're like, fuck, man, he's.
- 1:41:26Speaker 5: Never had a losing season.
- 1:41:28Speaker 7: He's never had a losing year. Have no Yeah, it
- 1:41:31Speaker 7: seems like why could they not get another.
- 1:41:33Speaker 1: What's the what's their record?
- 1:41:34Speaker 5: He might have been to the playoffs and imagine the
- 1:41:39Speaker 5: hot proove.
- 1:41:39Speaker 7: In my argument of not knowing the NFL but saying
- 1:41:42Speaker 7: you're so dumb to draft these high quarterbacks and playing
- 1:41:45Speaker 7: first year.
- 1:41:46Speaker 4: I don't get it. Let them watch and learn and
- 1:41:49Speaker 4: practice and take a year in and then have them start.
- 1:41:52Speaker 4: Mahomes did it?
- 1:41:53Speaker 2: Yeah, Rady arguments Aaron Rodgers are giving against the Aaron
- 1:41:58Speaker 2: Rodgers did it?
- 1:41:58Speaker 1: What CJ.
- 1:41:59Speaker 4: Shrouds argument? But for every seems like there's fifty.
- 1:42:03Speaker 5: But there's there's multiple guys that. Josh Allen's another guy
- 1:42:06Speaker 5: that was thrust it in there. Joe Burrow is another
- 1:42:08Speaker 5: guy got thrust in.
- 1:42:09Speaker 4: Joe Burrow was the first overall superstar.
- 1:42:14Speaker 2: Manning. He threw He's got the league record for interceptions.
- 1:42:17Speaker 4: That I thought that was broken.
- 1:42:19Speaker 1: No, we had a couple. Oh that was cool.
- 1:42:22Speaker 7: Huh Yeah that walk in Tennessee uniforms with yeah concert,
- 1:42:27Speaker 7: no helmet on.
- 1:42:29Speaker 1: He's a silly guy, you guys him.
- 1:42:33Speaker 5: Yeah. It was probably the best episode we've ever had.
- 1:42:35Speaker 1: Really.
- 1:42:36Speaker 5: It was just like a legend because you get like
- 1:42:38Speaker 5: a white well I'm sure you guys got your but
- 1:42:40Speaker 5: like you get one of them on and like just
- 1:42:42Speaker 5: stoked to have him. But then he's telling stories, were like,
- 1:42:44Speaker 5: I wish we had three more hours. That's a dream yeah,
- 1:42:47Speaker 5: because it was like there were legit, legitimate laughs. And
- 1:42:50Speaker 5: even when you tell a joke and he kind of giggles,
- 1:42:51Speaker 5: you're like, yeah, yeah, he's like he's feeding into the
- 1:42:55Speaker 5: conversation kind of like this is where like no one's
- 1:42:57Speaker 5: really controlling it, we're all just talking. He was kind
- 1:42:59Speaker 5: of about that. It was just great.
- 1:43:01Speaker 4: And how about its doing doing what we do?
- 1:43:04Speaker 7: Like when you get an interview where the guy is
- 1:43:07Speaker 7: just says, put a quarter in him and let him
- 1:43:09Speaker 7: go the best, and it's like you're not. You don't
- 1:43:11Speaker 7: feel like I'm working right now. And then you add
- 1:43:15Speaker 7: it to being like a legend. Yeah, this is this
- 1:43:18Speaker 7: is the best job in the world.
- 1:43:19Speaker 5: The worst dude. Then sitting with somebody and you have
- 1:43:23Speaker 5: your little sheet just in case things aren't going well,
- 1:43:25Speaker 5: and by minute I got no more bullets I got
- 1:43:30Speaker 5: because But the good thing is, I'm sure you guys
- 1:43:32Speaker 5: do It is like when Will and I have a
- 1:43:33Speaker 5: little issue, we'll just start bouncing off each other and
- 1:43:35Speaker 5: kind of find something and then we'll just sauce it
- 1:43:38Speaker 5: over and see you pull your chair, just block him out.
- 1:43:41Speaker 4: This is at times we'll just start like fucking around.
- 1:43:44Speaker 1: Oh yeah, ye who's got the smelliest parts on the team,
- 1:43:48Speaker 1: Like just if you're gonna get the smelliest parts, like legit,
- 1:43:52Speaker 1: like stupid ship at them if they're gonna give me nothing,
- 1:43:55Speaker 1: like if you don't want if you're gonna give me
- 1:43:56Speaker 1: two word answers like don't just don't come on right
- 1:44:00Speaker 1: even if.
- 1:44:00Speaker 2: You are a big name.
- 1:44:01Speaker 5: Do you guys have more issues with active players?
- 1:44:05Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I feel like I feel like we've gotten
- 1:44:09Speaker 1: better at it. And you also just you make them shorter,
- 1:44:12Speaker 1: like if you get fifteen minutes out of them. The
- 1:44:15Speaker 1: YouTube generation and the current fans do want to hear
- 1:44:18Speaker 1: from these players. So yeah, even some, but sometimes you
- 1:44:22Speaker 1: get these like some gems like we had this arbor
- 1:44:25Speaker 1: Jackie on and he was an hour and Montreal fans
- 1:44:29Speaker 1: are crazy. He plays for the Habs and that was
- 1:44:31Speaker 1: one of our most listened to in a long time.
- 1:44:33Speaker 1: So but there's nothing better than when you get this
- 1:44:36Speaker 1: like old veteran who doesn't give a fuck and he
- 1:44:39Speaker 1: is just letting it fly. We had Eddie Shack. This
- 1:44:44Speaker 1: guy was an old school league passed away. Mind you,
- 1:44:48Speaker 1: We had to delete like seven to the interview because
- 1:44:51Speaker 1: this guy was as old school as they came, but
- 1:44:54Speaker 1: he didn't like, he didn't give a shit, and he
- 1:44:56Speaker 1: was telling us these insane stories about when when hockey
- 1:44:59Speaker 1: was in black and white. So it was like getting
- 1:45:01Speaker 1: those throwbacks and getting those guys slinging it. There's nothing better.
- 1:45:05Speaker 2: And when it's coming out of their mouth too, you
- 1:45:06Speaker 2: just know you're like, oh man, this dude, he's letting
- 1:45:09Speaker 2: it rip.
- 1:45:09Speaker 1: And and you know the fans are listening on their
- 1:45:13Speaker 1: stereo and they're like, this.
- 1:45:14Speaker 2: Is what we want and they love it. Bro the
- 1:45:17Speaker 2: authenticity from guys.
- 1:45:18Speaker 5: When you get done, you just look look at each
- 1:45:20Speaker 5: other and you're like, what that was a fall. You know,
- 1:45:24Speaker 5: every week your probably comes at the same time, but
- 1:45:26Speaker 5: this week especially, you're like, I cannot wait. You're checking
- 1:45:29Speaker 5: it every hour.
- 1:45:29Speaker 1: Like yeah, you got that personal enjoyment from it, and
- 1:45:34Speaker 1: you're you're but you're more excited for the fans to
- 1:45:36Speaker 1: hear it, because like you were able to extract this
- 1:45:38Speaker 1: and deliver it to them, and it's just like it
- 1:45:40Speaker 1: makes doing what we do Like that to me is
- 1:45:43Speaker 1: like the that's the pop people tell.
- 1:45:45Speaker 7: You guys like, oh, I listen to you guys like
- 1:45:49Speaker 7: throughout the week every day and it's unreal, Like I'm
- 1:45:51Speaker 7: at work and the time flies by, and it's like

- 1:45:59Speaker 7: the shape it just like I'm in traffic. It doesn't
- 1:46:02Speaker 7: even feel like I'm sitting in at that long like
- 1:46:03Speaker 7: because it's a good part.
- 1:46:05Speaker 4: And you're like, that's the best compliment you could get.
- 1:46:07Speaker 5: Yeah, just take it away from people's regular everyday life, yes,
- 1:46:10Speaker 5: where they're able to be like, oh fuck from I
- 1:46:13Speaker 5: just got to work. Let me throw on the boys
- 1:46:15Speaker 5: real quick for a little bit. I'm gonna rip this,
- 1:46:16Speaker 5: you know, and then two hours just buying You're like,
- 1:46:18Speaker 5: god damn.
- 1:46:19Speaker 7: You listen to certain podcasts and I'm like the same way.
- 1:46:21Speaker 7: It's like a nice you can just chill listen. You're
- 1:46:23Speaker 7: looking forward to it, Yeah, you fos.
- 1:46:25Speaker 5: Especially when you go on the run too, and you're
- 1:46:27Speaker 5: like like I always put like a Rogan one in,
- 1:46:29Speaker 5: but like he had Tom Segar on recently and like
- 1:46:31Speaker 5: getting a know Tom and all that, I'm like, oh,
- 1:46:33Speaker 5: I'm kind of like a big hour drive ahead of me.
- 1:46:35Speaker 5: I'm like, oh, I'm gonna put this on right now
- 1:46:38Speaker 5: that hour went by like that, Yeah, and I was like, Jesus, what.
- 1:46:43Speaker 1: We get to do.
- 1:46:43Speaker 2: And when you get to meet those guys, it's like
- 1:46:45Speaker 2: you you want to say the same stuff to them
- 1:46:47Speaker 2: because you want them to know they're like, yo, you
- 1:46:49Speaker 2: impact me, right, And so when those people say to you,
- 1:46:51Speaker 2: you realize the impact you're doing them because you feel
- 1:46:53Speaker 2: it with the people that we listen to.
- 1:46:55Speaker 5: Yeah, I know because every UFC fight I ever go to,
- 1:46:58Speaker 5: like the big ones, Rogan's there, right, and I want
- 1:47:01Speaker 5: to every time just kind of like go be like
- 1:47:02Speaker 5: I know we met before, bro, but like still the
- 1:47:04Speaker 5: man and like like a creaky way, but just be
- 1:47:07Speaker 5: like the same thing that people say to you. Were
- 1:47:09Speaker 5: just explaining what is like, Yeah, like bro, you I
- 1:47:12Speaker 5: know you have the biggest podcast in the entire world,
- 1:47:14Speaker 5: but I'm one of them. I'm one of the people
- 1:47:15Speaker 5: that listen to the show. And I just want you
- 1:47:17Speaker 5: to know that's cool as fuck and then dip out
- 1:47:18Speaker 5: of there.
- 1:47:19Speaker 1: But you never do well. You guys had on uh
- 1:47:21Speaker 1: fuck what's his name? Politician guy? He was r RFK.
- 1:47:26Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you, like we kind of avoid
- 1:47:28Speaker 1: the politics talk. Did you guys talk about politics when
- 1:47:31Speaker 1: he was on and like, what do your what do
- 1:47:33Speaker 1: your viewers think? Like does it? Does it create tension?
- 1:47:36Speaker 1: Like do you get negative comments for getting political? And like,
- 1:47:38Speaker 1: hey you stick the score?
- 1:47:39Speaker 2: I mean you, I feel like you when you're in
- 1:47:41Speaker 2: that world, You're gonna get comments no matter what. But
- 1:47:43Speaker 2: it was one of those things like Taylor and I
- 1:47:44Speaker 2: talked about like hey do we want to have a politician? YadA,
- 1:47:47Speaker 2: YadA YadA. But then we got back to the question
- 1:47:49Speaker 2: that we have with everybody else we have on It's
- 1:47:51Speaker 2: like how do we bring the locker room to life
- 1:47:53Speaker 2: like with this person. So even though we might have
- 1:47:55Speaker 2: had a couple like questions about politics, like we're trying
- 1:47:58Speaker 2: to talk to him and get out story is the
- 1:48:00Speaker 2: same way you guys do, the same way we do
- 1:48:01Speaker 2: with players, the same way with anybody that comes on
- 1:48:03Speaker 2: the bus, And ultimately you want them to feel good
- 1:48:06Speaker 2: enough to where they're coming off authentically, like you were
- 1:48:08Speaker 2: talking about when you find somebody that just storytells and
- 1:48:11Speaker 2: it's just like putting a quarter in them because ultimately
- 1:48:13Speaker 2: the people are watching and listening to it, like they're
- 1:48:16Speaker 2: going to love seeing that side of that person and.
- 1:48:18Speaker 4: They might learn something RFK interview.
- 1:48:21Speaker 1: I watched it.
- 1:48:22Speaker 7: Like, the one thing about that guy that's cool is
- 1:48:24Speaker 7: like he is so into the health of the United
- 1:48:27Speaker 7: States and the kids, So who the fuck is not
- 1:48:30Speaker 7: going to be down with here and his way good point,
- 1:48:32Speaker 7: Like at least my wife's she's like, he talks a
- 1:48:35Speaker 7: lot the food that we eat and how much shit.
- 1:48:38Speaker 1: Is in the food that.
- 1:48:40Speaker 7: And how kids are just beating and I ate like
- 1:48:43Speaker 7: shit like sugary CEO. But like he's it's probably to
- 1:48:47Speaker 7: me one of the most important things, like why is
- 1:48:48Speaker 7: our nation so fat? We've gone off a deep end here,
- 1:48:51Speaker 7: But you brought that interview up, and that's what about him.
- 1:48:53Speaker 7: If you can't enjoy listening to at least his ideas
- 1:48:56Speaker 7: of a good thing, then who cares if you hate it?
- 1:48:58Speaker 2: Right?
- 1:48:58Speaker 5: Yeah, The cool thing about K is like I like,
- 1:49:01Speaker 5: I have friends that are on both sides of the fence,
- 1:49:03Speaker 5: and every time I brought up RFK, everyone's like, yeah
- 1:49:06Speaker 5: like them, Like no one ever has like a really
- 1:49:08Speaker 5: super divisive thought. There's some people were on the left
- 1:49:12Speaker 5: actually that are like, oh, he's a fucking cook, like
- 1:49:15Speaker 5: he you know, the brain worms all this stuff. But
- 1:49:17Speaker 5: every guy on the right, I've talked to I've been like, yeah,
- 1:49:20Speaker 5: I'm RFK.
- 1:49:21Speaker 1: Is the man's crazy.
- 1:49:22Speaker 4: His voice like probably affects him from ever becoming.
- 1:49:25Speaker 5: And getting ready for this thing, getting ready for his podcast.
- 1:49:28Speaker 5: I went and looked back at old interviews and he
- 1:49:29Speaker 5: had a regular voice.
- 1:49:31Speaker 1: Fu he had like this, Uh, I know what's messed up.
- 1:49:34Speaker 1: I just thought maybe he had a deep voice.
- 1:49:36Speaker 5: No, he had he had a regular voice. And then
- 1:49:37Speaker 5: there was some sort of like disease that I like,
- 1:49:40Speaker 5: he had, like some sort of automue disease and I'm
- 1:49:41Speaker 5: butchering it that attacked his vocal cords. And so it
- 1:49:44Speaker 5: sounds like he's struggling to talk all the time, but
- 1:49:46Speaker 5: really he's just he feels fine. He feels like us
- 1:49:48Speaker 5: talking right now. It's just how it comes. It's coming out,
- 1:49:51Speaker 5: which is crazy.
- 1:49:52Speaker 1: So did you ask him about like how he even
- 1:49:54Speaker 1: got into it and the politics and all that, Like
- 1:49:57Speaker 1: obviously his father wise, so he kind.
- 1:49:59Speaker 4: Of just fell in mind the first ten minutes was
- 1:50:01Speaker 4: father wasn't JFK though, do you know that?
- 1:50:03Speaker 1: Or was it his uncle? Yeah? And so his father
- 1:50:06Speaker 1: and his uncle were assassinated. Oh, his father. To keep
- 1:50:10Speaker 1: in mind, guys on Canadian.
- 1:50:11Speaker 7: I don't know Abraham Lincoln was assassinated episode No clue.
- 1:50:16Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean.
- 1:50:19Speaker 5: Is that bad?
- 1:50:20Speaker 6: No?
- 1:50:20Speaker 2: No, not at all.
- 1:50:21Speaker 5: I mean, yes, I don't know who like China's history Okay, good, Yeah,
- 1:50:25Speaker 5: I don't know the Canadian history or nothing like that. Hey,
- 1:50:27Speaker 5: Biz was telling me that all the Canadians that watch
- 1:50:29Speaker 5: US BIZ loves Trudeau.
- 1:50:31Speaker 2: Bro.
- 1:50:31Speaker 1: He was saying how much he's talking Kevin O'Leary to
- 1:50:36Speaker 1: a certain degree. Like most of what he said. I
- 1:50:39Speaker 1: think it was on the Full sent podcast. He had
- 1:50:41Speaker 1: a very good breakdown of like why he has this.
- 1:50:44Speaker 1: He said he's successful in the sense he's been in
- 1:50:46Speaker 1: power for nine years and that's a long time. And
- 1:50:50Speaker 1: I don't think like as a person he's maybe malicious.
- 1:50:53Speaker 1: I just think he has zero clue what he's doing.
- 1:50:55Speaker 5: And it's just like, yeah, it's every Canadian I like
- 1:50:59Speaker 5: I because I go to Clone all the time and
- 1:51:01Speaker 5: every Canadian I've met, I've not met one person that
- 1:51:04Speaker 5: likes Trudeau.
- 1:51:05Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:51:05Speaker 4: I haven't really met any either in Canada.
- 1:51:08Speaker 5: Yeah right, it's kind of is all the trucks are
- 1:51:11Speaker 5: the Proud Boys. Literally, it's so funny. And I've told
- 1:51:13Speaker 5: this I don't know what exact same what they're the
- 1:51:18Speaker 5: exact same. You guys just have stabbings, we have shootings.
- 1:51:20Speaker 5: That's basically the only difference between Canada America because Canadians
- 1:51:24Speaker 5: Canadians look. Canadians look at me and they're like, you
- 1:51:28Speaker 5: guys as politics are crazy. But then I drived on
- 1:51:31Speaker 5: the street and there's like big, you know, Chevy trucks
- 1:51:34Speaker 5: and there's like fuck Trudeau with a bunch of stickers and.
- 1:51:35Speaker 1: Stuff like that. It's the same.
- 1:51:40Speaker 4: People Verse thirty five.
- 1:51:41Speaker 5: Yeah, but you guys are one hundred miles within one
- 1:51:43Speaker 5: hundred miles of the border, like you guys are just
- 1:51:45Speaker 5: are Upper Upper States.
- 1:51:47Speaker 1: I also wouldn't get that intense about it. It's more
- 1:51:50Speaker 1: of like I think that there's time for change and
- 1:51:52Speaker 1: if people want to elect them and keep them in,
- 1:51:54Speaker 1: it's like all right, well fuck. I mean, I'm spending
- 1:51:56Speaker 1: most of my time in the in the US anyway,
- 1:51:58Speaker 1: but all my family and friends are Canadians, so it's like, ah,
- 1:52:01Speaker 1: they don't seem to want him there either. So that's
- 1:52:04Speaker 1: just kind of people like I never I never invest
- 1:52:07Speaker 1: that much energy into it because like, realistically, not much
- 1:52:10Speaker 1: is going to change about our lives depending on.
- 1:52:12Speaker 4: What That's what I was gonna say.
- 1:52:13Speaker 7: And for me, like I've followed it all and I
- 1:52:15Speaker 7: have certain opinions, but I'm like, maybe it's a bad
- 1:52:18Speaker 7: way of looking at it because my life could have changed.
- 1:52:20Speaker 1: Now.
- 1:52:20Speaker 7: The argument would be like you should care about other
- 1:52:22Speaker 7: people's but I do. But I do too, But I
- 1:52:25Speaker 7: be honest, it's like it is it. It doesn't change
- 1:52:28Speaker 7: my life?
- 1:52:28Speaker 1: Really? What's going on that much?
- 1:52:30Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 1:52:31Speaker 4: I just I argue with people all the time, like
- 1:52:34Speaker 4: I don't know, I enjoy.
- 1:52:35Speaker 5: The rabbit holes. I really enjoy like getting on, getting
- 1:52:38Speaker 5: on tighter, like hitting a search bar, typing one of
- 1:52:41Speaker 5: the other end and just kind of scrolling comments and sing.
- 1:52:45Speaker 4: But do you even know what people just down even
- 1:52:49Speaker 4: know what's like legit and real?
- 1:52:50Speaker 5: Oh and that's that's the thing that blows my mind.
- 1:52:52Speaker 5: I go back to the Rogan and Sigura head they
- 1:52:54Speaker 5: were talking about like what's real and what's not. I
- 1:52:56Speaker 5: think if I google something controversial right now, I don't
- 1:52:59Speaker 5: and I would read it. I don't know if that's
- 1:53:00Speaker 5: the truth or Okay, yeah I needed so to me,
- 1:53:03Speaker 5: it's like if how am I going to find out
- 1:53:05Speaker 5: the actual answer. I models will just like kind of
- 1:53:07Speaker 5: sit back, play with the chaos in my head. It
- 1:53:15Speaker 5: was a fun little game. But that that rf K
- 1:53:17Speaker 5: one was so much fun when he was telling stories
- 1:53:20Speaker 5: about his uncle and his dad and like growing up
- 1:53:23Speaker 5: and the Redskins would come over to their house.
- 1:53:25Speaker 1: And football players.
- 1:53:26Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, like the football players. Like the football players
- 1:53:32Speaker 5: would come over.
- 1:53:32Speaker 2: And we were like nootball player.
- 1:53:38Speaker 1: I was people listening saying thanks for clarifying, and the
- 1:53:43Speaker 1: rest are like that guy's.
- 1:53:46Speaker 5: Bullets. We got to switch it on somebody else.
- 1:53:47Speaker 1: Hey, guys, I'm I'm not very intelligent. I never went
- 1:53:50Speaker 1: to college other than Davenport University. That was like an
- 1:53:53Speaker 1: a portable and I took two classes and I slept
- 1:53:56Speaker 1: the entire time like you would do during film in
- 1:53:58Speaker 1: the NFL, no doubt, especially your boy.
- 1:54:02Speaker 5: He was telling we're just crazy, and it was so
- 1:54:04Speaker 5: much fun to listen to because he's telling things that
- 1:54:06Speaker 5: we've all learned about at some capacity. Americans have learned
- 1:54:10Speaker 5: about it some capacity like.
- 1:54:12Speaker 2: No, no, no, no no, no.
- 1:54:13Speaker 5: Historical people are probably watch.
- 1:54:22Speaker 1: Would direct It's like some of our listeners might go over.
- 1:54:25Speaker 5: Yeah, the RFK podcast is great, Like they talk about
- 1:54:27Speaker 5: his dad's assassination, his dad and them going over to Poland.
- 1:54:30Speaker 5: It was it was an awesome time. Go check it out.
- 1:54:32Speaker 5: That was a nice poll.
- 1:54:34Speaker 1: Bring me back in there, dude, that would have been
- 1:54:38Speaker 1: one story that would have been like a best of
- 1:54:42Speaker 1: Then direct more traffic. Anyway, we can move on.
- 1:54:44Speaker 2: I got a question for you guys, like what's up
- 1:54:46Speaker 2: with the world, Like it seems like you guys get
- 1:54:48Speaker 2: into it with with GMS. I saw the recent one
- 1:54:51Speaker 2: that feels like you guys have been toes with an
- 1:54:53Speaker 2: organization or two.
- 1:54:54Speaker 7: Yeah, we we have been, And I guess it's like
- 1:54:58Speaker 7: kind of weird because Biz and I got real no
- 1:55:00Speaker 7: desire to be like causing a ruckus in organization.
- 1:55:03Speaker 1: We seem to do it.
- 1:55:04Speaker 4: We seen.
- 1:55:05Speaker 7: But last year with the Columbus head coach, he ended
- 1:55:07Speaker 7: up getting fired based on like a report and something
- 1:55:10Speaker 7: BIZ had heard and snowballed when research was done into
- 1:55:13Speaker 7: something where a coach was fired right before the season.
- 1:55:16Speaker 7: And then this year I talked about the Boston Bruins
- 1:55:20Speaker 7: star goalie Jeremy swam and young maybe twenty five, I
- 1:55:23Speaker 7: don't know exactly his age, but just became like a
- 1:55:26Speaker 7: star in the league. He the last few years, been
- 1:55:29Speaker 7: playing with a great goalie who won the Vesta on
- 1:55:31Speaker 7: Boston had a two man tandem. Well, they traded the
- 1:55:34Speaker 7: other guy like Linas Almark and now it's swaming. But
- 1:55:37Speaker 7: they traded him when he was unsigned. They traded all
- 1:55:39Speaker 7: Mark and Swiming didn't have a deal. So now it's
- 1:55:42Speaker 7: gone on all summer. Now training camp started and he's
- 1:55:44Speaker 7: not there and he's not signed. He's holding out.
- 1:55:47Speaker 4: I went on and was told the offer of the
- 1:55:50Speaker 4: Bruins gave him, which was an enormous slap.
- 1:55:52Speaker 1: In the face.
- 1:55:53Speaker 4: He's looking for around eight years times.
- 1:55:55Speaker 7: I bet he'd take eight point two five eight and
- 1:55:57Speaker 7: they offered him four years at six point two two million,
- 1:56:00Speaker 7: So he's looking for sixty four Say they offered him
- 1:56:03Speaker 7: what is that twenty six?
- 1:56:05Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:56:06Speaker 7: I went on and gave that, and then I also
- 1:56:08Speaker 7: mentioned that I'd been told that the Bruins hadn't been
- 1:56:10Speaker 7: returning like his agent's calls and we're responding to a
- 1:56:15Speaker 7: possible like reoffer or or an offer given back by
- 1:56:19Speaker 7: the agent and the player, and that he hadn't heard
- 1:56:21Speaker 7: back from Don Sweeney the GM and randomly in the
- 1:56:24Speaker 7: middle of his preseason the day before training camp press conference,
- 1:56:29Speaker 7: he was asked about swinging.
- 1:56:30Speaker 4: He's not signed. He kept getting asked, kept getting asked.
- 1:56:32Speaker 4: He's like, I'm not going to talk about rumors, but
- 1:56:35Speaker 4: one rumor that was bullshit was the Spitting Up on
- 1:56:40Speaker 4: Yourself podcast.
- 1:56:42Speaker 1: I loved it. Yeah, and then I heard that we
- 1:56:46Speaker 1: got him.
- 1:56:46Speaker 4: He goes, I know, yeah, so boom.
- 1:56:48Speaker 7: I'm like, all right, well, now we're in the middle
- 1:56:49Speaker 7: of this, but it's kind of hilarious that a GM's
- 1:56:51Speaker 7: talking about our podcast naming it a different name.
- 1:56:54Speaker 1: But we're in the mix.
- 1:56:55Speaker 4: But it's weird.
- 1:56:57Speaker 7: So he ends up saying yeah, and you know, my
- 1:57:00Speaker 7: son loves Paul Bisonett and he's a very entertaining guy.
- 1:57:03Speaker 7: And he goes into like, but they're doing it for.
- 1:57:05Speaker 4: Kind of clicks. Is basically I'm paraphrasing what he said.
- 1:57:08Speaker 1: That's what they do.
- 1:57:09Speaker 7: They don't know what for facts. They shouldn't present it
- 1:57:10Speaker 7: as facts. BIZ didn't even say it.
- 1:57:13Speaker 1: I said it.
- 1:57:14Speaker 4: So then it's like, all right, well, we're in the
- 1:57:16Speaker 4: mid we're in the middle level.
- 1:57:17Speaker 7: We got to address it now, right and I I
- 1:57:20Speaker 7: we did the episode drops is this dropping Tuesday morning?
- 1:57:24Speaker 7: Mars drops its live right now, and we addressed this,
- 1:57:28Speaker 7: and you know, so go check.
- 1:57:29Speaker 1: It out, check out.
- 1:57:31Speaker 5: Watch watched this, check check out.
- 1:57:33Speaker 4: Go check it out.
- 1:57:34Speaker 7: And yeah, and Biz had a conversation with him and
- 1:57:36Speaker 7: and there's evidence, there's evidence that he you know, he's
- 1:57:39Speaker 7: not a fan of mine.
- 1:57:40Speaker 4: So it kind of is what it is. But we
- 1:57:43Speaker 4: are in the mix.
- 1:57:44Speaker 1: Yes, that's a long answer, long after that's how we
- 1:57:47Speaker 1: got in the mix. And yeah, just kind of like
- 1:57:49Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 1:57:50Speaker 7: But at the same time, we had two current gms
- 1:57:52Speaker 7: on the same episode that's live right now. So it's like,
- 1:57:56Speaker 7: if we got two gms that are friendly enough and
- 1:57:58Speaker 7: good enough to us to come on, well, one GM
- 1:58:01Speaker 7: really doesn't like me. I mean, we're still doing pretty
- 1:58:03Speaker 7: well in Minnesota. Doug Ars from Billy Garran coming on
- 1:58:07Speaker 7: and talking to us about their teams right now, when
- 1:58:10Speaker 7: when you're when you're talking, when you go out and
- 1:58:13Speaker 7: talk about the player and like they offered him X,
- 1:58:16Speaker 7: Y and Z.
- 1:58:16Speaker 2: Are you getting that from the players camping? And if so,
- 1:58:19Speaker 2: like and you.
- 1:58:19Speaker 4: Wouldn't say who you're getting it from anyways, got you.
- 1:58:22Speaker 2: Gotch almost almost Therefore.
- 1:58:26Speaker 4: Ryan Adam Adam Scheffie, he ain't giving up sources.
- 1:58:29Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't.
- 1:58:30Speaker 5: Ad minute you say your sources, you'll never get another source.
- 1:58:33Speaker 7: Right, You imagine any fucking sources Adam Schefter has. Yeah,
- 1:58:37Speaker 7: he's got to have every breaking Elliott Friedman similar to that.
- 1:58:41Speaker 7: In the NHL, they they're breaking the biggest news. They
- 1:58:46Speaker 7: got mad sources and they're not Do you ever get
- 1:58:48Speaker 7: given in any of them?
- 1:58:49Speaker 2: Do you ever get worried about like players wanting to
- 1:58:51Speaker 2: come back to Like that player was like, hey, why
- 1:58:53Speaker 2: would you be saying that?
- 1:58:55Speaker 4: Yeah, but I wouldn't say something.
- 1:58:57Speaker 7: I don't think me saying what I heard I don't
- 1:59:00Speaker 7: know Jeremy Swaman, but me saying the offer the Bruins
- 1:59:02Speaker 7: gave him, I know that that would never hurt him.
- 1:59:06Speaker 7: I'm helping him in a sense of like everyone's like,
- 1:59:08Speaker 7: that's the fucking offer they gave me. Yeah, if I
- 1:59:11Speaker 7: was like, if I was like, if I didn't know
- 1:59:13Speaker 7: the guy, well, I guess I would say this. But
- 1:59:15Speaker 7: if I'm like, I heard this team offered him ten
- 1:59:17Speaker 7: million years, you're not taking it, so he'd.
- 1:59:19Speaker 1: Be looked bad. I don't know if i'd share that.
- 1:59:22Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, I wouldn't have
- 1:59:25Speaker 1: a problem.
- 1:59:26Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess if I didn't know him, I wouldn't, but.
- 1:59:28Speaker 1: I would be honest about saying, yeah, if you think
- 1:59:29Speaker 1: you're fucking worth more than then I guess try and
- 1:59:32Speaker 1: get it. But I think he's being a little greedy
- 1:59:34Speaker 1: in this sense. Yeah, that's true if that was the case.
- 1:59:37Speaker 1: But uh, but also one part of the story too,
- 1:59:40Speaker 1: it's I think he was just frustrated. He completely fumbled
- 1:59:43Speaker 1: the situation when I which I think he's done, and
- 1:59:46Speaker 1: then to go radio silent for three weeks in the summer,
- 1:59:49Speaker 1: which he denies. We should say, yeah, which he's denying.
- 1:59:53Speaker 1: That's just that's what that that that's what the same
- 1:59:55Speaker 1: source thinks. We never denied the numbers, so obviously the
- 1:59:58Speaker 1: source is legit. Why would he lie about the time
- 2:00:01Speaker 1: that they they didn't talk. There was radio silence for
- 2:00:03Speaker 1: three fucking weeks. You still haven't signed your star goalie.
- 2:00:06Speaker 1: So what's gonna happen? Is this gonna get drawn out
- 2:00:08Speaker 1: to December? First? That could happen, and it's crazy, which
- 2:00:12Speaker 1: would be crazy because if at that point he doesn't sign,
- 2:00:15Speaker 1: he has to sit out the full season. Is that
- 2:00:17Speaker 1: is there a situation like that in the NFL? Where
- 2:00:19Speaker 1: if your deal's not done by a certain.
- 2:00:21Speaker 4: Game earlier, I asked him this earlier.
- 2:00:25Speaker 5: No, I have no clue.
- 2:00:26Speaker 1: There's only been.
- 2:00:29Speaker 5: A few situations where guys have set out the entire year.
- 2:00:31Speaker 5: I don't think there's like a cutoff where you have
- 2:00:33Speaker 5: to like sit out.
- 2:00:34Speaker 1: Who was the biggest player to ever be like, no,
- 2:00:36Speaker 1: not enough, I'm not playing this year.
- 2:00:38Speaker 4: I mean there was, and he didn't play the whole year.
- 2:00:41Speaker 5: He was the only person I've ever heard.
- 2:00:47Speaker 1: For short money was.
- 2:00:49Speaker 5: Bro He was the man for real, like he was Yeah,
- 2:00:54Speaker 5: he's such a unique style of player too. He just
- 2:00:56Speaker 5: like sat behind his line and kind of just looked
- 2:00:58Speaker 5: around a little bit then read it and and it's
- 2:01:01Speaker 5: like a weird way to play. But Trent Williams, That's
- 2:01:04Speaker 5: what I was gonna say. Trent Williams is the only player,
- 2:01:07Speaker 5: off the top of my head that took a year
- 2:01:09Speaker 5: off and came back and you're like, yeah, he's still
- 2:01:11Speaker 5: him still. The year didn't accept me to.
- 2:01:16Speaker 1: Get what he was looking for.
- 2:01:17Speaker 2: No, I mean I'm saying that year he lost his salary.
- 2:01:20Speaker 2: But because he hated how the how Washington kind of
- 2:01:22Speaker 2: bought some.
- 2:01:23Speaker 7: Of his San Francisco now, Yeah, offensive lineman.
- 2:01:27Speaker 5: I think to me, t Trent Williams is the greatest
- 2:01:30Speaker 5: offensive lineman in the history of the game. He's the
- 2:01:32Speaker 5: number one player ever he's in He's a guy in.
- 2:01:35Speaker 1: The NFL position.
- 2:01:37Speaker 5: Yeah, he's he's the man, dude. And it's like the
- 2:01:40Speaker 5: same guy you're talking about who sat out a year. Yeah,
- 2:01:42Speaker 5: he's one of the best. He I think he's like, yeah,
- 2:01:45Speaker 5: he's on like the Mount Rushmore of offense. Wow, he's got.
- 2:01:48Speaker 1: To be another guy who's probably on the Mount Rushmore,
- 2:01:51Speaker 1: if not the best? Was that Aaron Donald?
- 2:01:54Speaker 5: Oh?
- 2:01:54Speaker 1: Yeah? Was he the best pass rusher of all time?
- 2:01:57Speaker 2: He's argument yeah, he's argue believe the best defensive player
- 2:02:01Speaker 2: of all time?
- 2:02:03Speaker 1: Really, who is the other?
- 2:02:04Speaker 2: Guylor Orange Taylorggie White?
- 2:02:07Speaker 5: Reggie White was a monster?
- 2:02:09Speaker 1: Bro him. What made Aaron Donald so effective? He was
- 2:02:12Speaker 1: just this like massive human that bounced.
- 2:02:14Speaker 2: How great he was in the short amount of time
- 2:02:16Speaker 2: that he played, Like he doesn't have how many years
- 2:02:18Speaker 2: did he.
- 2:02:18Speaker 1: Act the time or he played one more year than me?
- 2:02:20Speaker 5: But I'm saying somebody like.
- 2:02:22Speaker 2: That, like he could have played He could have played
- 2:02:24Speaker 2: at least fifteen.
- 2:02:25Speaker 5: And showed no signs of stopping no signs. That's what
- 2:02:28Speaker 5: I'm saying. Like Megatron for the Lions, he just was
- 2:02:32Speaker 5: like the way he phrased it is is like I've
- 2:02:35Speaker 5: achieved everything I could possibly achieve in this game. Like
- 2:02:38Speaker 5: I've given everything, Like right move on, bro. From the
- 2:02:44Speaker 5: minute he stepped in the field, he was a Pro
- 2:02:46Speaker 5: Bowl All Pro guy. From the minute rookie year he
- 2:02:49Speaker 5: was he was the thirteenth overall pick. My year was
- 2:02:53Speaker 5: Defensive Rookie of the Year, and then went on nine
- 2:02:56Speaker 5: straight Pro Bowls after that and I think six All Pros. Yeah,
- 2:02:59Speaker 5: three Defense Player of the Years. I might be a
- 2:03:01Speaker 5: lumpy too, dog, I'm telling you, like for ten years
- 2:03:06Speaker 5: and it was like he played three techniques for the
- 2:03:08Speaker 5: most part. So that's on the guards, so tackle guards center.
- 2:03:11Speaker 2: I know, I don't.
- 2:03:12Speaker 5: I don't want to just trying to explain it, like
- 2:03:15Speaker 5: and I would when we would play the Rams, whether
- 2:03:17Speaker 5: they're in Saint Louis or in LA you just look
- 2:03:20Speaker 5: at the guards throughout the week and you're like your
- 2:03:22Speaker 5: few tour motherfuckers. And then and then this motherfucker starts
- 2:03:26Speaker 5: playing on the edge. Every once in a while, I'm thinking,
- 2:03:28Speaker 5: damn it did burn no he never got me, but
- 2:03:31Speaker 5: but he would. It's very different like there's with rushers.
- 2:03:36Speaker 5: It's very unique for a guy to be played, to
- 2:03:38Speaker 5: be able to play multiple spots. Guy like t J Watt,
- 2:03:41Speaker 5: he's on the right tackles. He's one of the most
- 2:03:44Speaker 5: effective all time rushers of all time. His brother JJ
- 2:03:47Speaker 5: could go tackle, guard, center, guard, tackle, and that is
- 2:03:51Speaker 5: so hard to game plan because he essentially goes down
- 2:03:53Speaker 5: the line and to begin in the game, figure out
- 2:03:54Speaker 5: who's got the fucking takes him out the whole day.
- 2:03:59Speaker 5: Oh no, so you get like my rookie I got
- 2:04:02Speaker 5: tested by JJ and luckily I had some success, and
- 2:04:06Speaker 5: I was like, he kind of stayed away after that.
- 2:04:08Speaker 5: I was like, thank god, because the dude was a
- 2:04:10Speaker 5: fucking stud and he would just go find one guy.
- 2:04:13Speaker 1: And then after the first quarter, where's where's what in
- 2:04:16Speaker 1: that conversation, top twenty all time?
- 2:04:19Speaker 5: Oh, he's top twenty for sure. Defensive lineman of all time.
- 2:04:22Speaker 7: Yeah, barstool told me, sorry to interrupt, but quickly you'd
- 2:04:26Speaker 7: appreciate this that Christian McCaffrey might retire sooner than people.
- 2:04:29Speaker 5: Think, why, oh man, we need him.
- 2:04:32Speaker 2: I would look.
- 2:04:33Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a straight up rumor.
- 2:04:34Speaker 4: But I was like what, and he's like, yeah, I
- 2:04:36Speaker 4: wouldn't be surprised. I got a source at barstool, So.
- 2:04:39Speaker 5: Yeah, but Barstool's got crazy sources they've gotten. That's like
- 2:04:44Speaker 5: the most insane place to grab a source.
- 2:04:47Speaker 4: No crazier than the Taylor Swift getting paid by the NFL.
- 2:04:51Speaker 5: Take Hey, honestly, I was ready to give that legs.
- 2:04:54Speaker 1: I was ready to get that.
- 2:04:56Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:04:56Speaker 5: I think I think that's a fun conspiracy.
- 2:04:58Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, he's a great white help. I guess
- 2:05:00Speaker 2: I don't I don't know if I would be surprised.
- 2:05:03Speaker 2: I know he's battling within Achilles right now.
- 2:05:05Speaker 1: He's just in Germany to talk to a specialist. He's
- 2:05:09Speaker 1: had a lot of injuries, right, No, not really, or
- 2:05:11Speaker 1: maybe it was another country one year.
- 2:05:14Speaker 2: He's been hurt a couple of times when he was
- 2:05:15Speaker 2: at Caroline.
- 2:05:16Speaker 5: I think he had like a resurgence of health when
- 2:05:18Speaker 5: he went to fort nine ers.
- 2:05:18Speaker 1: And you know who I love from that Panthers team
- 2:05:22Speaker 1: was that linebacker. The white guy.
- 2:05:26Speaker 5: Would stand up right now, he'd be hard as a rock.
- 2:05:29Speaker 2: That's I think he's he didn't get to play as
- 2:05:33Speaker 2: long as he wanted to.
- 2:05:34Speaker 1: Or everybody else writing to Yeah.
- 2:05:36Speaker 2: He ended up retiring, Yeah from concussions, and Bro, he
- 2:05:40Speaker 2: legitimately could have been like the best linebacker of all time.
- 2:05:45Speaker 2: I mean, ray Lewis has an insane resume, but Luke
- 2:05:47Speaker 2: was somebody who.
- 2:05:48Speaker 1: Was his brain though right the play before.
- 2:05:50Speaker 4: Absolutely, and he was nails.
- 2:05:52Speaker 1: Though he was nails to Bro, he would Now I'm
- 2:05:56Speaker 1: going to talk foreign love us ship.
- 2:05:59Speaker 2: But I remember a Dallas game and it was on Thanksgiving,
- 2:06:03Speaker 2: I believe, and Bro, they're playing Tampa two. And when
- 2:06:07Speaker 2: you're a Tampa two middle linebacker, you're the middle runner.
- 2:06:10Speaker 2: So you're you're taking it all the way down the pipe.
- 2:06:14Speaker 1: Yes, exactly, okay, cover, so your collisions are going to
- 2:06:18Speaker 1: be hard.
- 2:06:19Speaker 2: No, no, no, So my cover two, I'm pass first.
- 2:06:21Speaker 2: I'm a pass first linebacker, and I'm running down the
- 2:06:24Speaker 2: middle of the field to have the highest route.
- 2:06:31Speaker 1: Of space.
- 2:06:32Speaker 5: Off the snap.
- 2:06:33Speaker 2: They had trips to one side, so three receivers. He
- 2:06:37Speaker 2: runs up the middle. The three guy, the one he's
- 2:06:39Speaker 2: closest to, runs down the pipe, so he is supposed
- 2:06:42Speaker 2: to run with him, but he starts off deep enough
- 2:06:45Speaker 2: to where he knows the quarterback's eyes. He's gonna check
- 2:06:47Speaker 2: it and then go to different color because he already
- 2:06:50Speaker 2: sees that he sees as Tampa two.
- 2:06:52Speaker 5: Keiley's already on top. I'm gonna go to my next read.
- 2:06:54Speaker 2: He baits this deep dagger from the outside receiver, he
- 2:06:59Speaker 2: leaves the middle of the field and just I mean
- 2:07:02Speaker 2: not guesses, but uh, he knew, Yeah, he knew it
- 2:07:05Speaker 2: was coming. He knew that he baited the middle of
- 2:07:07Speaker 2: the field, and he took off and picks the dig
- 2:07:09Speaker 2: route and takes it back for six. And then we're yeah, bro.
- 2:07:14Speaker 2: And then as like if you're if you're playing cover
- 2:07:16Speaker 2: four and you got to carry, it's.
- 2:07:18Speaker 1: Like ed re type stuff too.
- 2:07:19Speaker 5: Right, and here's safety right.
- 2:07:22Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, I think I think he broke down to
- 2:07:27Speaker 1: play exactly like you just talked about in a baiting sense,
- 2:07:29Speaker 1: because you watched so much tape that he knew that if.
- 2:07:33Speaker 2: He situationally, third down whatever, he knew that that play
- 2:07:36Speaker 2: was coming. And then like if you're in cover four
- 2:07:38Speaker 2: and you got to carry a receiver, so you're kind
- 2:07:40Speaker 2: of like you're kind of running to where when the
- 2:07:42Speaker 2: balls up, you're more so like looking at their eyes
- 2:07:44Speaker 2: and playing their hands.
- 2:07:45Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
- 2:07:46Speaker 2: Because yeah, you got your back to the QB. You
- 2:07:48Speaker 2: got your back to the quarterback. You're kind of underneath
- 2:07:50Speaker 2: because again in cover four, you're more below the three receiver.
- 2:07:53Speaker 2: But he was so good that a guy like me,
- 2:07:56Speaker 2: you're trying to read the eyes and play through the
- 2:07:58Speaker 2: hands because you're probably not gonna be able to turn
- 2:08:01Speaker 2: around and make a play when you're behind a receiver.
- 2:08:04Speaker 2: He was good enough to where he turns and picks
- 2:08:06Speaker 2: the ball off.
- 2:08:08Speaker 4: Instead of just trying to knock it down from him.
- 2:08:11Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, a series, a series after that pick six
- 2:08:14Speaker 2: that I just explained, no ship, yeah, bro back series.
- 2:08:17Speaker 5: Yeah, he was a legend.
- 2:08:19Speaker 4: Did he make plenty of money?
- 2:08:20Speaker 1: Hopefully million? He's making a million, but they think about
- 2:08:24Speaker 1: Luke was spending it either, Yeah, he's probably driving a Volvo.
- 2:08:29Speaker 1: Yeah he did.
- 2:08:30Speaker 5: He did have a lot of concussions, but he was
- 2:08:35Speaker 5: so physical in the beginning part of his career, and
- 2:08:37Speaker 5: then once he started to have more head stuff, you
- 2:08:38Speaker 5: could see him playing with his hands way more equally
- 2:08:41Speaker 5: as effective equally, yeah, to be and be more effective
- 2:08:47Speaker 5: with less it.
- 2:08:49Speaker 2: Was and he had like the record of tackles there.
- 2:08:53Speaker 1: So once again, I still don't know a ton about football.
- 2:08:56Speaker 1: There was this old school running back. I think he
- 2:08:58Speaker 1: was a white guy too, for the Tampa Bay. I'll
- 2:09:04Speaker 1: be scrolling through instace sometimes and There'll be like a
- 2:09:06Speaker 1: highlight clip of him. I could every time. I'll sit
- 2:09:08Speaker 1: there and watch it, like kneeling people.
- 2:09:11Speaker 2: Yeah he was fucked like was he like?
- 2:09:15Speaker 1: Was he on the juice and ship? Like?
- 2:09:16Speaker 2: What was wrong with who knows? You talk about his
- 2:09:18Speaker 2: playing days, he just seemed like it seemed like they
- 2:09:21Speaker 2: had late nights, woke up early for workouts, like he
- 2:09:23Speaker 2: was part of an old school generation.
- 2:09:24Speaker 5: Yeah, he's he's a classic cat that looks at everybody
- 2:09:27Speaker 5: playing now go man, this generation is so soft.
- 2:09:30Speaker 2: We had him on the pod saying that He's like, yeah,
- 2:09:32Speaker 2: I think you guys generation soft.
- 2:09:34Speaker 5: You're right.
- 2:09:39Speaker 1: Sorry about the question, mister Alstide. I agree. I got
- 2:09:41Speaker 1: a host. Boys, what do I do? Go ahead, and
- 2:09:46Speaker 1: then when you when you come back, I'll go hose
- 2:09:49Speaker 1: unless you guys want to end this thing, like what
- 2:09:51Speaker 1: do you? Where were you? Guys?
- 2:09:52Speaker 5: We're at an hour right now?
- 2:09:53Speaker 1: Yeah? Sure that's that good enough.
- 2:09:56Speaker 2: Since we have you both.
- 2:09:57Speaker 1: On, want to just sign off? I think we're gonna
- 2:09:59Speaker 1: end it. No, hang on, just go just let he'll
- 2:10:02Speaker 1: go peoplerong. Okay, sure, I think too.
- 2:10:06Speaker 2: We've had each of you on individually, but having you
- 2:10:08Speaker 2: both on collectively, like you guys had us on and
- 2:10:12Speaker 2: you know, taught to the audience about our story, Like
- 2:10:14Speaker 2: I would like to ask how you guys kind of
- 2:10:16Speaker 2: got everything rolling.
- 2:10:18Speaker 1: Yeah, I met with like his perspective.
- 2:10:20Speaker 5: Because he was still playing right or you were playing? Yeah, okay,
- 2:10:23Speaker 5: so from the podcast, should we should pin that till
- 2:10:26Speaker 5: we gets back so they can bounce off each other though.
- 2:10:27Speaker 1: Yeah, well I'll tell you my side is well. He
- 2:10:30Speaker 1: got drafted by the Penguins fifth overall, a year or
- 2:10:32Speaker 1: two after I was drafted fourth round, so we ended
- 2:10:36Speaker 1: up in the same organization. He played a lot more
- 2:10:38Speaker 1: in the NHL, but the first year that had cracked
- 2:10:41Speaker 1: the lineup, I got to play. You know, uh. I
- 2:10:44Speaker 1: was there for twenty six games, so got to hang
- 2:10:46Speaker 1: out with him and like never really connected with him
- 2:10:48Speaker 1: that much in training camp, but he just this fucking
- 2:10:51Speaker 1: silly bastard from Boston, and through that short period of
- 2:10:55Speaker 1: time we connected, he ended up getting traded off. I
- 2:10:58Speaker 1: played with his good friend keith yandall we kind of
- 2:11:01Speaker 1: kept in touch and then somehow ended up on a
- 2:11:03Speaker 1: PTO together, like a player tryout in Saint Louis towards
- 2:11:07Speaker 1: the back half of our career, when I never played
- 2:11:10Speaker 1: another NHL game after that that prior season. So we
- 2:11:14Speaker 1: were there on the PTO and we were just going
- 2:11:16Speaker 1: to every meal together and hanging out and going out
- 2:11:18Speaker 1: to the bar and having some beers, and we talked
- 2:11:21Speaker 1: about this concept of creating a show together where you'd
- 2:11:24Speaker 1: show up to the arena with your hockey bag, you'd
- 2:11:26Speaker 1: crack it open in the hockey locker room and you'd
- 2:11:28Speaker 1: have a six pack. You'd never eventually put your gear on,
- 2:11:31Speaker 1: you just sit there and tell stories and you'd have
- 2:11:33Speaker 1: different guests on it. We thought the idea of like
- 2:11:35Speaker 1: a YouTube show. So fast forward. I was still playing
- 2:11:39Speaker 1: for another three years he retired, and he tweeted out like, hey,
- 2:11:43Speaker 1: how about starting a podcast with a couple guys, one
- 2:11:46Speaker 1: of me being on it. And I messaged him, I said, Hey,
- 2:11:49Speaker 1: I'm not gonna hang them up yet, and I can't
- 2:11:51Speaker 1: start a podcast because I know how I am and
- 2:11:52Speaker 1: I'll let it fly and I'll be fucking getting snipped
- 2:11:55Speaker 1: before I know it. And he started one with with
- 2:11:58Speaker 1: rear Admiral and then Grenelly hopped on board, and by
- 2:12:01Speaker 1: the time I retired and then did a film project
- 2:12:04Speaker 1: and got one year of media under my belt and
- 2:12:07Speaker 1: had been a guest on their show spitting Chicklets, he
- 2:12:10Speaker 1: was like, hey, man, Like I talked to Greanell, I
- 2:12:12Speaker 1: talked to ra and we think that because you've been
- 2:12:14Speaker 1: on in such a popular guest, you should come on
- 2:12:17Speaker 1: full time. And it was the original idea, like you
- 2:12:19Speaker 1: were one of the original guys, and so I'm like, yeah, like,
- 2:12:23Speaker 1: And by the time I finished that first season and
- 2:12:25Speaker 1: had that under my belt of doing radio color commentary
- 2:12:30Speaker 1: for the Coyotes, I agreed to it, and the rest
- 2:12:33Speaker 1: is history. I'd already had a Twitter base of a
- 2:12:37Speaker 1: million people. So I also thought because I was comfortable
- 2:12:40Speaker 1: on the mic and I already had an audience, it
- 2:12:43Speaker 1: kind of just helped it grow that much more significantly
- 2:12:46Speaker 1: right off the hop, where all of a sudden, the
- 2:12:48Speaker 1: people who were following me on Twitter like, oh, this
- 2:12:50Speaker 1: guy's got a mic in his hands now all the
- 2:12:52Speaker 1: time and he's letting it fly about anything. Yeah, I'll
- 2:12:55Speaker 1: go listen to that. So I think at the time
- 2:12:57Speaker 1: they were averaging probably what like thirty to fIF fifty
- 2:13:00Speaker 1: thousand listeners per I have no idea. Yeah, and it was,
- 2:13:03Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, it just we gained momentum.
- 2:13:07Speaker 1: And then after getting maybe one hundred and fifty thousand
- 2:13:10Speaker 1: listeners on average, we were able to get our former
- 2:13:13Speaker 1: teammate in Pittsburgh, Crosby in Halifax, and then we got
- 2:13:16Speaker 1: Nathan McKinnon on that same trip. So we had these
- 2:13:19Speaker 1: big milestone moments along with creating more vertical brands like
- 2:13:24Speaker 1: the Sandbagger, and it's just evolved over the last I
- 2:13:27Speaker 1: think it's been six and or seven years, at least
- 2:13:30Speaker 1: seven since I retired. So it's been magical and it's
- 2:13:33Speaker 1: been unreal, and it's been a fun ride, and more importantly,
- 2:13:37Speaker 1: like we get to stay around the game and have
- 2:13:39Speaker 1: a purpose when we wake up every day, like we
- 2:13:40Speaker 1: talked about earlier, like bringing these awesome interviews and getting
- 2:13:44Speaker 1: to talk to these awesome guys and bringing the fans
- 2:13:47Speaker 1: a more exclusive inside look, like feeding what they want.
- 2:13:51Speaker 1: So that was my rendition of how it all went down,
- 2:13:53Speaker 1: And I don't know what you'd have to say about it, Whitty,
- 2:13:55Speaker 1: now that you're the back.
- 2:13:56Speaker 7: I told this story on the first time I came
- 2:13:58Speaker 7: on the bus. It's pretty much exactly the same thing.
- 2:14:01Speaker 7: And it's like timings everything. Every time I meet somebody
- 2:14:05Speaker 7: that asked about the pod, it's like timings everything in life.
- 2:14:08Speaker 7: You gotta get lucky podcasts. As this thing began, I
- 2:14:12Speaker 7: didn't even know what a podcast was.
- 2:14:14Speaker 1: Really.
- 2:14:15Speaker 7: They were so early. Did you try to start it now?
- 2:14:17Speaker 7: It's just not you know, it's not the same, Like
- 2:14:19Speaker 7: we were lucky. We were not gonna say we were first,
- 2:14:22Speaker 7: but we were early on So timings everything. He retires,
- 2:14:25Speaker 7: he doesn't get into in it right away, and like
- 2:14:29Speaker 7: who knows, Like then I started with Ra right maybe
- 2:14:32Speaker 7: he wouldn't have been in it had he already been retired,
- 2:14:34Speaker 7: So like boom, then you got Ra involved in it.
- 2:14:36Speaker 7: Then the way we met Grnelly, our audio broke. Me
- 2:14:39Speaker 7: and Ra one of the episodes, sat this close to
- 2:14:42Speaker 7: each other, shared a microphone and the audio ended up breaking.
- 2:14:47Speaker 4: Or that might have been a different story. Either way,
- 2:14:48Speaker 4: Ra got an email that night.
- 2:14:50Speaker 1: No, he'd gotten it a few weeks prior and ignored it.
- 2:14:53Speaker 1: And then and then whatever the receiver system already had
- 2:14:56Speaker 1: it was janky. It was Ra and like you know,
- 2:14:58Speaker 1: he just had it at his house like this was
- 2:14:59Speaker 1: MO and pop style, right, and when when it broke,
- 2:15:03Speaker 1: they the episode was obviously wasted. They've been talking into
- 2:15:06Speaker 1: a mic for fifty minutes and nothing was being recorded.
- 2:15:08Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm sure Witt was thrilled. But that's when
- 2:15:11Speaker 1: Ora was like, oh, that kid reached out and then boom,
- 2:15:14Speaker 1: like Garnell got the opportunity. Nice and he's the and
- 2:15:17Speaker 1: and Grenell's evolved and learned so much and it's just
- 2:15:20Speaker 1: been an incredible experience. And like Witt said, very much
- 2:15:24Speaker 1: a timing thing because podcasts weren't that popular. And you know,
- 2:15:29Speaker 1: I'm not saying we were the first hockey podcast, but
- 2:15:31Speaker 1: we were the first one that I think that a
- 2:15:32Speaker 1: lot of people had heard of, just because of the
- 2:15:34Speaker 1: reach that we had, and and also chemistry was important
- 2:15:37Speaker 1: and fucked me, you know, being in Saint Louis hanging
- 2:15:41Speaker 1: out with you, I think that we kind of understood
- 2:15:43Speaker 1: that we were very much alike. Yeah, and I I
- 2:15:46Speaker 1: played with Keith Yandel, who played a thousand, over a
- 2:15:49Speaker 1: thousand games. He's the iron Man, another funny bastard from Boston.
- 2:15:53Speaker 1: We're going to get him more involved on our podcast
- 2:15:55Speaker 1: this year, and I think he's.
- 2:15:57Speaker 7: One of my closest friends from home. Yeah, that then
- 2:15:59Speaker 7: played with this and they became buddies. So I also
- 2:16:04Speaker 7: he had been such good friends with Keith and I
- 2:16:05Speaker 7: had met him first, and then we get in Saint Louis.
- 2:16:07Speaker 7: I'm like, we just like we're true good friends and
- 2:16:11Speaker 7: so it's like this makes it a lot easier. We
- 2:16:13Speaker 7: also have honest conversations with each other too, Like you guys,
- 2:16:16Speaker 7: I'm sure it's like that's being like good friends, like
- 2:16:19Speaker 7: you got to be honest about everything, and we have
- 2:16:21Speaker 7: been for the show and for like us.
- 2:16:24Speaker 1: Yeah, and I also like moving forward, it's it would
- 2:16:27Speaker 1: we talked about the building vertical, like like we've done
- 2:16:30Speaker 1: We've done game notes where Kobe Armstrong and Merles two
- 2:16:34Speaker 1: of our buddies who we also used to play with
- 2:16:36Speaker 1: in the Pittsburgh system. Like Army was already doing media
- 2:16:39Speaker 1: and television. Merles kind of got into it from the
- 2:16:41Speaker 1: gambling side. But it's awesome and and brings a whole
- 2:16:44Speaker 1: different opinion and flare to So they have their own
- 2:16:47Speaker 1: like sister podcasts, and they're going to keep evolving, like
- 2:16:51Speaker 1: i Yan's is gonna get more involved with us where
- 2:16:53Speaker 1: maybe when Kevin Hayes his best friend another player retires,
- 2:16:57Speaker 1: they kind of come on board and we kind of
- 2:16:59Speaker 1: want to make We kind of want to make it
- 2:17:01Speaker 1: where we're all just snapping it around and get to
- 2:17:03Speaker 1: travel around together and we just have this awesome whack
- 2:17:06Speaker 1: pack where we're kind of back on a team. You know,
- 2:17:09Speaker 1: it's not just me with r A and Grenelle, where
- 2:17:12Speaker 1: there might be stories or relationships or experiences that Kobe
- 2:17:16Speaker 1: Armstrong merles Yans have that are going to be different
- 2:17:20Speaker 1: than us, and we want the hockey fans and fans
- 2:17:24Speaker 1: of any sport to to embrace all of it. So
- 2:17:27Speaker 1: that's kind of where I would like to see it
- 2:17:29Speaker 1: continue to branch out and grow. But for the most part,
- 2:17:32Speaker 1: everything we got going on right now, I couldn't be
- 2:17:34Speaker 1: more thrilled about. That was a long That was a
- 2:17:37Speaker 1: very long winded answer about what we go on.
- 2:17:40Speaker 5: It was interesting to get pictured like, damn, it's kind
- 2:17:43Speaker 5: of dope what they're doing. Yeah, right, we see there's
- 2:17:45Speaker 5: obviously a lot of.
- 2:17:46Speaker 1: Similarities between you two and Will and I would you
- 2:17:49Speaker 1: guys ever bring on other nflers like to like as
- 2:17:52Speaker 1: a like a part of the West.
- 2:17:55Speaker 2: With the Landing Walker. There's a locker room with this
- 2:17:58Speaker 2: our gambling show. Okay, so bus on spots, but yeah,
- 2:18:01Speaker 2: I mean we've definitely talked about stuff like that before,
- 2:18:04Speaker 2: like scaling out the business and get out.
- 2:18:06Speaker 1: Yeah, that to me is like, you know, I was
- 2:18:09Speaker 1: in a dark place when I when I my last
- 2:18:12Speaker 1: year in the NHL. After I left that PTO, I
- 2:18:15Speaker 1: didn't have a deal. I couldn't even get an American
- 2:18:17Speaker 1: Hockey League deal, and I was like literally depressed on
- 2:18:20Speaker 1: the couch to the point where like my muscles were sore,
- 2:18:23Speaker 1: and I'd never been like that before. So to kind
- 2:18:26Speaker 1: of get somebody in the LA organization to extend an
- 2:18:29Speaker 1: olive branch and for me to go on and win
- 2:18:31Speaker 1: a call their cup, I just kind of feel like
- 2:18:33Speaker 1: I would want to keep doing that to my buddies
- 2:18:36Speaker 1: and and and give them that opportunity to where they
- 2:18:40Speaker 1: can do it and have something after hockey too. So
- 2:18:42Speaker 1: it's gonna be cool. I think it's going to keep
- 2:18:44Speaker 1: happening for us, and I really look forward to it.
- 2:18:46Speaker 1: And like I said, I'm very grateful for everything we have.
- 2:18:49Speaker 5: Would you ever want to coach?
- 2:18:50Speaker 1: It sounds so it's funny you say that I was
- 2:18:52Speaker 1: going to ask in this interview both of you, who
- 2:18:54Speaker 1: do you think would make the better coach. I think
- 2:18:57Speaker 1: that there's a possibility down the road that I would
- 2:18:59Speaker 1: I would love to, But it's also like you got
- 2:19:03Speaker 1: to start out at a lower level and by then
- 2:19:06Speaker 1: at forty five fifty do I really want to ride
- 2:19:09Speaker 1: the bus to all these games? Like I think after
- 2:19:13Speaker 1: this is all said and done, I think I'm gonna
- 2:19:15Speaker 1: probably want to go chill. But you never know, I
- 2:19:17Speaker 1: think that maybe would you win. I mean you are
- 2:19:19Speaker 1: with your son.
- 2:19:20Speaker 7: Yeah, my son's first year might like six turning seven.
- 2:19:23Speaker 7: It's fun also at that age though it's tough, like
- 2:19:27Speaker 7: you know, six and seven year olds. Eight year olds
- 2:19:29Speaker 7: are not great listeners. But I would love someday like
- 2:19:33Speaker 7: you get to like fifteen, sixteen and you see like legit,
- 2:19:36Speaker 7: like passion for the game.
- 2:19:37Speaker 1: Yeah, high school like.
- 2:19:40Speaker 7: This This is like a not a pipe dream, but
- 2:19:43Speaker 7: such a long way from ever happening, but I could
- 2:19:45Speaker 7: see myself liking it.
- 2:19:47Speaker 4: NHL AHL pro no chance these coaches.
- 2:19:50Speaker 1: You don't think you could be a D coach at
- 2:19:53Speaker 1: BU or would you want to? Oh?
- 2:19:55Speaker 4: Yeah, that's something that would be really really cool to do.
- 2:19:58Speaker 1: It would be really really I think that you could,
- 2:20:00Speaker 1: but like.
- 2:20:00Speaker 4: Not right now while I'm also doing this, but like someday.
- 2:20:03Speaker 7: But yeah, that's that's something that's something that that that's sick.
- 2:20:08Speaker 7: But that's like those are good coaches making a ton
- 2:20:10Speaker 7: of money.
- 2:20:10Speaker 1: They've done it their whole life. Like that's hard.
- 2:20:12Speaker 7: High school you could more help out, maybe like because
- 2:20:15Speaker 7: I played in the NHL, But that's also like all
- 2:20:17Speaker 7: of a sudden, you go to a high school coach
- 2:20:18Speaker 7: your son's trying out. You're like, hey, I'll help out
- 2:20:20Speaker 7: coaches like buddy, take.
- 2:20:21Speaker 1: A fucking you know. So I don't know, like do
- 2:20:25Speaker 1: it for your kids.
- 2:20:25Speaker 7: It's more like when they're a little older before they
- 2:20:27Speaker 7: get into like high school hockey or something, would be cool.
- 2:20:29Speaker 7: I actually said recently, like sometimes it's hard. They mentioned
- 2:20:32Speaker 7: how young they are, but I'm like, I don't know
- 2:20:35Speaker 7: if I want to do this, but you're like, you
- 2:20:37Speaker 7: know what, I don't know anything about anything besides hockey,
- 2:20:42Speaker 7: Like it was it was my life.
- 2:20:43Speaker 4: It was, so I'm giving back to the game.
- 2:20:46Speaker 7: If I got a bunch of young kids, and even
- 2:20:48Speaker 7: one of them at the end of the season at
- 2:20:50Speaker 7: eight years old, loves not just as a better player,
- 2:20:53Speaker 7: but loves hockey like I'm giving back to the game
- 2:20:56Speaker 7: and coach in the NHL. Coach in the NHL. You
- 2:20:59Speaker 7: are watching video like you were describing all day long
- 2:21:03Speaker 7: and the travel and it's it's.
- 2:21:05Speaker 1: Not for me.
- 2:21:06Speaker 5: Yeah, just constantly breaking stuff down. To answer your question, Biz,
- 2:21:11Speaker 5: I think Will would be and not not just a
- 2:21:14Speaker 5: good I think he'd be an elite coach.
- 2:21:15Speaker 1: Wow your positions or.
- 2:21:20Speaker 5: Like I think Will, Yeah, I think Will when it
- 2:21:25Speaker 5: comes to the coaching category, I'm talking about real success.
- 2:21:28Speaker 1: Where where he's managing all of the other coaches too.
- 2:21:31Speaker 5: Oh yeah, head coach.
- 2:21:35Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:21:36Speaker 5: So if you look at Will's career and I'll gass
- 2:21:38Speaker 5: the boil up for a minute, don't get like neck
- 2:21:41Speaker 5: up guy. Like the reason why Will made it so
- 2:21:43Speaker 5: long in the league is it was because of what
- 2:21:45Speaker 5: he was able to process in his brain. And he's
- 2:21:47Speaker 5: taken all that and he does a great He's like
- 2:21:49Speaker 5: a he does a very good job painting a picture
- 2:21:53Speaker 5: for you. Even in telling stories or any type of situations.
- 2:21:56Speaker 5: I know he can do that from a player standpoint,
- 2:21:58Speaker 5: telling players where they need to have their eye coverages
- 2:22:01Speaker 5: and stuff like that and really doesn't get like like
- 2:22:04Speaker 5: he love like you, like you ever played were Wolf? No,
- 2:22:07Speaker 5: you ever played their game Mafia. It's a card game
- 2:22:10Speaker 5: where you're like, essentially there's two bad guys and the
- 2:22:12Speaker 5: rest of us are trying to figure out who the
- 2:22:14Speaker 5: bad guys are. It's like it's a game of strategy.
- 2:22:17Speaker 5: Kid loves strategy, loves the game of risk, like understands
- 2:22:20Speaker 5: like the chess pieces that have to be made likable
- 2:22:23Speaker 5: cat easily easily could be.
- 2:22:25Speaker 1: A would you do it? I don't know.
- 2:22:28Speaker 4: I don't want to play even battleship board game the
- 2:22:30Speaker 4: way he's described.
- 2:22:33Speaker 2: Player, we have some fun nice playing, Rick, I.
- 2:22:37Speaker 1: Got a sure is that n h L.
- 2:22:41Speaker 7: You've seen a lot of examples or maybe more examples
- 2:22:44Speaker 7: of of of the grinder, of the guy who worked
- 2:22:47Speaker 7: his dick off to get there and was maybe a
- 2:22:49Speaker 7: fourth or a third line player. I'm not dogging you anyways,
- 2:22:52Speaker 7: but those are the guys where it's like a superstar
- 2:22:55Speaker 7: like Lukeley, not this is an example, but like maybe
- 2:23:01Speaker 7: the game was so easy to him, it's harder to coach.
- 2:23:03Speaker 7: Where's a lot of like third line nhlders that were
- 2:23:06Speaker 7: smart and like not just superstars with their skill, they
- 2:23:09Speaker 7: make the best coaches.
- 2:23:10Speaker 5: Yeah, because they understand.
- 2:23:11Speaker 7: It's where you were, like you grinded right, like and
- 2:23:14Speaker 7: you like had to know so much about the game
- 2:23:17Speaker 7: to be successful, Like he's.
- 2:23:18Speaker 2: Saying, yeah, no, that's a that's an interesting perspective.
- 2:23:21Speaker 4: I could see you being a legendary high school football coaching.
- 2:23:25Speaker 2: Coach on high school football. Listening to you talking about
- 2:23:26Speaker 2: giving back to the game and stuff like coaching high
- 2:23:28Speaker 2: school football would be so fun.
- 2:23:30Speaker 1: Yea.
- 2:23:30Speaker 2: Even the Little League the way he was just explaining
- 2:23:32Speaker 2: the Little League kind of juiced me up.
- 2:23:33Speaker 7: It's not even getting better, Like, yeah, if the kids
- 2:23:36Speaker 7: way better in March and it's supposed September sick, but
- 2:23:40Speaker 7: if he in March is like I'm love hockey, right,
- 2:23:44Speaker 7: That's where you're like, dude.
- 2:23:45Speaker 2: This is when you said that, it was like they
- 2:23:47Speaker 2: love the game more, like they want to watch and
- 2:23:49Speaker 2: consume it more because we look like that would fire
- 2:23:51Speaker 2: you up. Yeah no, no, like that. I don't know
- 2:23:54Speaker 2: if I would in college or if I've talked with
- 2:23:56Speaker 2: Taylor about it, were.
- 2:23:57Speaker 5: Talking, because oh, go ahead, will just say I ask
- 2:24:00Speaker 5: the question.
- 2:24:01Speaker 2: I would love to because it's at the highest level.
- 2:24:03Speaker 2: And I do love like the strategy. I love like formulating,
- 2:24:07Speaker 2: like learning defense, hearing from the coaches kind of teach it,
- 2:24:11Speaker 2: see understanding what the weaknesses are, what do you want
- 2:24:13Speaker 2: to show on offense? Like I love that stuff. I
- 2:24:16Speaker 2: just don't know time commitment wise, if I necessarily, you know,
- 2:24:21Speaker 2: should and need to do it. That's the thing because
- 2:24:23Speaker 2: those guys you got to be all in and not that.
- 2:24:27Speaker 2: Like a lot of them have great families, but the
- 2:24:29Speaker 2: family life to me just doesn't.
- 2:24:33Speaker 4: NFL.
- 2:24:34Speaker 7: NFL is not to hear about head coaches and you
- 2:24:36Speaker 7: hear about like they don't see their families.
- 2:24:39Speaker 5: And we even as players like you, you have hardly
- 2:24:42Speaker 5: any time of the season and their hours.
- 2:24:44Speaker 2: Are way yeah, there are than ours.
- 2:24:47Speaker 5: Like for me, there is zero, Like I have zero
- 2:24:50Speaker 5: aspiration to be anything.
- 2:24:51Speaker 4: Yeah, And part of that is probably like I have
- 2:24:53Speaker 4: a lot of money, and.
- 2:24:54Speaker 1: It's like.
- 2:24:56Speaker 5: Maybe I'm sure I don't know what I don't you
- 2:25:00Speaker 5: know what, I don't know.
- 2:25:01Speaker 1: I just have too many fucking o's in my bank account,
- 2:25:03Speaker 1: and I'm tilky, there's not a Chicken Dick's chance I'm coaching.
- 2:25:07Speaker 5: I just can't. I just can't see it. Man, to me,
- 2:25:09Speaker 5: it's like if you're able, Yeah, there's probably a piece
- 2:25:12Speaker 5: of that. I get infatuated with the idea of so
- 2:25:15Speaker 5: many other other avenues of life to live to where like, Okay,
- 2:25:18Speaker 5: I've done football, I wonder what else I could be
- 2:25:21Speaker 5: really good at it?
- 2:25:22Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm like. That's why. That's why, like
- 2:25:25Speaker 1: you ask about coaching, it would be it would be
- 2:25:27Speaker 1: another challenge and I would like to. But there's also
- 2:25:30Speaker 1: a lot of other things in this world that I
- 2:25:32Speaker 1: think I'm gonna want to try to go do when
- 2:25:33Speaker 1: I'm like when I'm forty five to fifty and then retire.
- 2:25:37Speaker 1: I might, but then you might get bored of that
- 2:25:39Speaker 1: too and then come back to what you know, But like,
- 2:25:42Speaker 1: what are some other things that you would like to explore?
- 2:25:44Speaker 1: Like I would like to get one of those those
- 2:25:47Speaker 1: earth roamers and like go drive just through South America
- 2:25:51Speaker 1: and like go hiking and go like like a year
- 2:25:53Speaker 1: trip where you just kind of dial out and get
- 2:25:55Speaker 1: the fuck away. Once we would retire from being on
- 2:25:58Speaker 1: like this every day on fucking Twitter, all the full
- 2:26:00Speaker 1: and all the business, and then like would you want
- 2:26:03Speaker 1: to eventually just kind of like check out for like
- 2:26:05Speaker 1: a year's time where you're like fuck off phone, Yeah,
- 2:26:08Speaker 1: and especial like that, No, no desire.
- 2:26:12Speaker 4: I I think I checked out of the phone and stuff.
- 2:26:15Speaker 4: But I would never want to just.
- 2:26:17Speaker 1: Like travel for a year, Yeah for a year.
- 2:26:19Speaker 4: I like being home, like I love going on a couple.
- 2:26:21Speaker 1: Well, you would be you'd just be living out of
- 2:26:22Speaker 1: an r V.
- 2:26:22Speaker 4: It's so basically I don't want to live in your earth.
- 2:26:26Speaker 1: Would you ever do something like that?
- 2:26:28Speaker 5: I probably would.
- 2:26:29Speaker 1: It's weird, seem like more of a while. Man.
- 2:26:31Speaker 5: It's weird because we were in Montana this year. We
- 2:26:33Speaker 5: were doing me Either. It's like it's a hunting podcast me.
- 2:26:37Speaker 5: Will and JP sat and had a conversation about like
- 2:26:40Speaker 5: we're in this we're in Bozeman, but like this kind
- 2:26:42Speaker 5: of local spot in Bozeman, and everything's slower, everything's moving
- 2:26:45Speaker 5: way slower, pain And we're having this conversation like, hey,
- 2:26:49Speaker 5: wouldn't it be sick to essentially tell yourself it's okay
- 2:26:51Speaker 5: to slow down? And Will was having like aspirations that
- 2:26:55Speaker 5: JP was, and I was like, no, like I want
- 2:26:57Speaker 5: to keep fucking going, like like I I couldn't see
- 2:27:00Speaker 5: myself doing it. And then this summer I went to
- 2:27:04Speaker 5: Canada with my wife and it was the first time
- 2:27:06Speaker 5: in my adult life that I sat back and I
- 2:27:08Speaker 5: was like, this is fucking nice. This is nice, Like
- 2:27:11Speaker 5: this is actually I don't got I don't have to
- 2:27:13Speaker 5: do anything. I'm hanging out and taking my kids to
- 2:27:16Speaker 5: do x Y and Z. I talked about my seven
- 2:27:17Speaker 5: year old how I walked in her room when she's
- 2:27:20Speaker 5: like getting stuff, and you just kind of realized, like
- 2:27:21Speaker 5: they're just getting older and it's happening because I do
- 2:27:26Speaker 5: have I there's a piece of me that would love
- 2:27:28Speaker 5: to go into the entertainment aspect to see if I
- 2:27:30Speaker 5: could act.
- 2:27:30Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I love doing I love doing.
- 2:27:35Speaker 5: Oh yeah, alute, I can do it. You know, actually
- 2:27:41Speaker 5: want to. I want to hit Shorty because it's like
- 2:27:43Speaker 5: my one of my favorite shows.
- 2:27:45Speaker 1: You want to get a cameo on there?
- 2:27:46Speaker 5: I would, yeah, absolutely, But all that to be said,
- 2:27:50Speaker 5: like after that trip in Canada, I was like, you
- 2:27:53Speaker 5: know what I want to do is I want to
- 2:27:54Speaker 5: be able to, like when we hang it up, like
- 2:27:57Speaker 5: just be like the ultimate dad and get my pilots license,
- 2:28:00Speaker 5: get a small little plane, rip the family, able to
- 2:28:03Speaker 5: rip around, just go rip around and kind of do whatever. Like,
- 2:28:05Speaker 5: if I can mentally get to that state, I think
- 2:28:07Speaker 5: that's the best. That is a way of growth. That
- 2:28:10Speaker 5: is you want to we can all go. We've all
- 2:28:13Speaker 5: put ourselves in a position to go achieve any goal
- 2:28:16Speaker 5: we want because we've you know, we have the financial
- 2:28:18Speaker 5: freedom and now we get to do this and this
- 2:28:20Speaker 5: opens more and more doors. But the ability to say
- 2:28:23Speaker 5: no and being.
- 2:28:24Speaker 1: Like that is what I'm trying to learn. Yeah, that's where.
- 2:28:28Speaker 5: Mentally is Like, I really enjoyed that time. I really
- 2:28:32Speaker 5: had a great time with my family. I thought that
- 2:28:33Speaker 5: was so awesome. I was like, how do I expand
- 2:28:35Speaker 5: on that more and kind of like just fully immerse
- 2:28:37Speaker 5: myself in that you feel yourself always chasing something whatever,
- 2:28:42Speaker 5: whatever thing.
- 2:28:44Speaker 4: I don't have that feeling. You're good.
- 2:28:47Speaker 1: It's really good about balance.
- 2:28:50Speaker 4: At all, and I think sometimes would be helpful to
- 2:28:53Speaker 4: have it more.
- 2:28:54Speaker 5: Oh we lost the camera, so well.
- 2:28:57Speaker 2: Oh that's okay, So yeah, get the twist the question.
- 2:29:03Speaker 5: Yeah, well the twisted question. But I want to I
- 2:29:05Speaker 5: want to talk for a second cause I've never watched it.
- 2:29:10Speaker 5: Yeah about that, guys, So yeah, Shorzy Ari obviously was
- 2:29:16Speaker 5: in the last two seasons. Have you guys been reached
- 2:29:17Speaker 5: out to it all about being on that show.
- 2:29:19Speaker 1: No, So I actually got asked to do Letter Kenny
- 2:29:22Speaker 1: early days. Yeah, and I got the role of like
- 2:29:25Speaker 1: basically I was just like ripping lines and I was
- 2:29:28Speaker 1: a maniac and so basically myself a method actor. Uh,
- 2:29:32Speaker 1: at least at that time.
- 2:29:33Speaker 4: Uh.
- 2:29:34Speaker 1: And then the Coyotes. It was my first year and
- 2:29:36Speaker 1: I hadn't even been on the podcast yet, and I
- 2:29:40Speaker 1: put it across my my boss's desk and he said, no,
- 2:29:43Speaker 1: you can't. Like the team would basically fire me and
- 2:29:45Speaker 1: then I'd be out of a job. So, uh, that
- 2:29:47Speaker 1: was a missed opportunity. And then they kind of just
- 2:29:49Speaker 1: never really came back up because they had to spin
- 2:29:52Speaker 1: off show. But fortunately for a guy Terry Ryan, who
- 2:29:55Speaker 1: we have on the podcast all time, he's ten hitchcock.
- 2:29:58Speaker 5: Oh for real.
- 2:29:59Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that that Jared Keisho kind of learned
- 2:30:04Speaker 1: the legend of Terry Ryan through our podcast. I may
- 2:30:07Speaker 1: be mistaken, that's at least what Terry Ryan says. So
- 2:30:10Speaker 1: there have been people from our podcast, including Ora, who
- 2:30:13Speaker 1: have touched the show. I would be honored to be asked.
- 2:30:16Speaker 1: I don't know what my character or what I would
- 2:30:18Speaker 1: do on it. But yeah, I would, I would love
- 2:30:21Speaker 1: to do that. And what's good too. We did that
- 2:30:23Speaker 1: McDavid commercial for body Armor and you were fucking ten
- 2:30:26Speaker 1: out of ten and you're really good at ad libbing.
- 2:30:29Speaker 7: No, we did a Pink Whitney commercial that played like
- 2:30:33Speaker 7: during the NHL playoffs I'm talking time three times a
- 2:30:37Speaker 7: game for four months and people.
- 2:30:40Speaker 1: Were like, yeah, get these guys off my fucking.
- 2:30:48Speaker 4: I remember it was it was it was probably Buddy
- 2:30:50Speaker 4: that was the line.
- 2:30:51Speaker 2: That was the line game, but that was the line.
- 2:30:54Speaker 1: But three or four times every single game all playoffs,
- 2:31:00Speaker 1: people wanted me dead. People wanted me dead.
- 2:31:03Speaker 5: There's a huge there's a huge miss for you not
- 2:31:06Speaker 5: well then not reaching out to you about shores. He's
- 2:31:08Speaker 5: like being a legitimate part of that cast. No, but
- 2:31:11Speaker 5: my whole thing was washed up, like washed up hockey players. Yeah,
- 2:31:15Speaker 5: just let's bring a bunch of vets, savvy vets in
- 2:31:17Speaker 5: and have him play.
- 2:31:19Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I I just it just didn't work out
- 2:31:21Speaker 1: for timing.
- 2:31:21Speaker 5: I don't think it was football players, hockey players.
- 2:31:24Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know where. Yeah, it just didn't work out.
- 2:31:27Speaker 1: But they've done such a good job, like Jeri Kiso
- 2:31:29Speaker 1: is a legend and like he lives up I think
- 2:31:32Speaker 1: north of Montreal, with his with his wife. I think
- 2:31:34Speaker 1: he's got a kid or two. And he just writes
- 2:31:37Speaker 1: these scripts and he has his own team and he
- 2:31:39Speaker 1: executes it. Like there's so much time and energy that
- 2:31:42Speaker 1: goes into that ship. And and I think that they
- 2:31:45Speaker 1: just signed a deal where they're going to be doing
- 2:31:46Speaker 1: at least two or three more seasons after this one
- 2:31:49Speaker 1: they're currently filming. So he's a he's a g his uh,
- 2:31:52Speaker 1: his talent, his creativity is Oh yeah, it all spun
- 2:31:57Speaker 1: off act star. I think the world the jerkys are
- 2:32:02Speaker 1: Have you met him, No, but I just from him
- 2:32:05Speaker 1: and his craft. Oh he would love it. He would
- 2:32:07Speaker 1: love you. I bet you he would give you a
- 2:32:08Speaker 1: part in the show.
- 2:32:09Speaker 5: I want to earn it.

- 2:33:09Speaker 2: see that again?
- 2:33:10Speaker 1: What time is that?
- 2:33:12Speaker 5: For some dumb but oh also, what is the vibe
- 2:33:15Speaker 5: in Canada looking at hockey players in America?
- 2:33:19Speaker 1: What do you mean? Like now?
- 2:33:21Speaker 7: Now, it was starting, but in like the seventies, there
- 2:33:27Speaker 7: was not much and then all of a sudden, this
- 2:33:30Speaker 7: generation of players in the NFL came in. Yeah, not
- 2:33:34Speaker 7: even then though, like that in nineteen eighty that it's
- 2:33:37Speaker 7: because the NHL was mostly Canadian stars, you know.
- 2:33:40Speaker 4: And you say, hockey just built and.
- 2:33:42Speaker 1: Welded and built and the growth of it in the
- 2:33:44Speaker 1: United States, where all of a sudden, like Dallas, when
- 2:33:47Speaker 1: did Dallas get there? Around like ninety seven, ninety eight, right,
- 2:33:53Speaker 1: maybe ninety five, So all of a sudden, now that
- 2:33:55Speaker 1: they have a youth program, they have former players that
- 2:33:59Speaker 1: loved no state tax, made all this money down there,
- 2:34:03Speaker 1: and they get to live in a nice place in
- 2:34:04Speaker 1: the States. Well they're helping coach now. So it's just
- 2:34:07Speaker 1: like there's just so many more American kids playing and
- 2:34:10Speaker 1: who have access to the game and access to even
- 2:34:13Speaker 1: unreal Canadians who ended up selling settling down the States.
- 2:34:16Speaker 1: So I would say that going into the next Olympics,
- 2:34:19Speaker 1: it's a coin toss, like it could be US or
- 2:34:21Speaker 1: Canada who wins. We have McDavid, we have McKinnon, we
- 2:34:24Speaker 1: have cal mccarr, but the state still has guys like
- 2:34:27Speaker 1: Matthews and Jack Hughes.
- 2:34:29Speaker 7: So yeah, they probably have like highest end talent. They
- 2:34:34Speaker 7: got the guys, three or four of them. Then we
- 2:34:38Speaker 7: have maybe one person right there, two people. But then
- 2:34:41Speaker 7: when you go after that the depth, we're right there.
- 2:34:43Speaker 1: That's right there.
- 2:34:44Speaker 7: They have McDavid and they have McKinnon, and they have
- 2:34:46Speaker 7: Crosby you know, Crosby's older, but McDavid and McKinnon. We
- 2:34:51Speaker 7: have Matthews, but they got two of them. Yeah, so
- 2:34:54Speaker 7: it's it's amazing though, and now it's it's it's going
- 2:34:56Speaker 7: to be six in Italy. We're gonna try to go
- 2:34:59Speaker 7: and cover it. First Best on Best tournament in the
- 2:35:02Speaker 7: Olympics since twenty fourteen. So all of these stars for
- 2:35:07Speaker 7: the past ten years have never played in the Olympics.
- 2:35:10Speaker 1: Yeah, Crosby, it's coming back. Have never have never played
- 2:35:14Speaker 1: together on team Canada Best on Best and they'll have
- 2:35:17Speaker 1: the opportunity at the Four Nations which is this year.
- 2:35:19Speaker 1: It's almost like a like a precursor to reintroduce Best
- 2:35:23Speaker 1: on Best. There's only four teams, which sucks. But the Olympics,
- 2:35:26Speaker 1: especially if they get Russia back in the men they
- 2:35:29Speaker 1: need Russia. I don't give me. I don't care if
- 2:35:32Speaker 1: they're cheating, I don't care if they're shoving needles up
- 2:35:34Speaker 1: there are put them in the Olympics. You just need them.
- 2:35:38Speaker 7: You win the Best on Best Olympic gold medal. And
- 2:35:41Speaker 7: like Russia's best team isn't in there. It's a little
- 2:35:44Speaker 7: bit of an asterisk.
- 2:35:45Speaker 5: Where's Russia ranking.
- 2:35:47Speaker 4: They're always a top four, top four, Yeah, top five.
- 2:35:50Speaker 5: So just give me the top five, re quick. So
- 2:35:51Speaker 5: it's Canada, America, Sweden, Finland, Russia. Canada, Sweden, Finland, Russia.
- 2:35:59Speaker 1: And then you does the top five. Funck off is
- 2:36:02Speaker 1: what do you mean? Oh?
- 2:36:02Speaker 4: I thought you were saying the US was fifth.
- 2:36:04Speaker 1: No, no, not in that order. Those are the five. No,
- 2:36:06Speaker 1: absolutely not.
- 2:36:07Speaker 7: But Czech Republic's very good, Slovaki is getting better, Austria
- 2:36:11Speaker 7: has some players, Germany's getting better players. There's Norway has
- 2:36:16Speaker 7: ak Denmark has a couple of players. So it's growing.
- 2:36:20Speaker 1: Now.
- 2:36:21Speaker 7: It's never gonna be in South America. It's never be
- 2:36:23Speaker 7: in Africa. It's never gonna be like soccer. I mean
- 2:36:27Speaker 7: football is kind of similar. You're actually mostly North America, right,
- 2:36:31Speaker 7: We're pretty much we're Hockey is a global game, but
- 2:36:35Speaker 7: there are some areas that will just never happen.
- 2:36:37Speaker 5: Yeah, I wonder why the money is not bigger in hockey.
- 2:36:40Speaker 5: It's because it is.
- 2:36:41Speaker 1: More global TV.
- 2:36:42Speaker 4: Because TV it's not it's.
- 2:36:45Speaker 1: Not transferable exactly the NFL, but it's going up. It's
- 2:36:49Speaker 1: going you have more people, it's going all over the world.
- 2:36:51Speaker 1: Watch putting a game on it post to Amazon's gonna
- 2:36:54Speaker 1: end up picking up full time. I'd imagine like we
- 2:36:57Speaker 1: have sports also sports that in Canada we have TSN
- 2:36:59Speaker 1: and can TNT, ESPN, and who knows, maybe there's eventually
- 2:37:03Speaker 1: another American network that does it's it's uh Gary Bettman,
- 2:37:08Speaker 1: and the NHL is doing it a better job of it,
- 2:37:10Speaker 1: giving it exposure. So I think revenues are going to
- 2:37:14Speaker 1: continue to soar, and I think the league is in
- 2:37:15Speaker 1: the best place it's ever been, and you're going to
- 2:37:18Speaker 1: see growth everywhere, I think exponentially in the United States
- 2:37:22Speaker 1: in the next ten to fifteen years. And I think
- 2:37:24Speaker 1: that there's a strong chance that they they end up
- 2:37:27Speaker 1: taking over as the top hockey nation, although it might
- 2:37:29Speaker 1: not be the most popular sport in the country. Canadians
- 2:37:33Speaker 1: might sculd me for saying that, but it comes down
- 2:37:35Speaker 1: to population resources. The university programs are getting better, they're
- 2:37:40Speaker 1: i think opening up. Anyway, I'm getting a long winded
- 2:37:44Speaker 1: with it. US is in good shape. I think that's
- 2:37:47Speaker 1: a good pot. That was a great pub question. We
- 2:37:51Speaker 1: have to pay the bill, pay the bill.
- 2:37:53Speaker 5: Pay the bills. Twisted T. This is a twisted question.
- 2:37:56Speaker 5: Twisted T is refreshing, hard ice Team made with real
- 2:37:58Speaker 5: brew tea and five percent I call full of flavor
- 2:38:00Speaker 5: and very refreshing. Twisted tea goes down smooth. There is
- 2:38:04Speaker 5: no carbonation, what makes it easy to drink all day along.
- 2:38:07Speaker 5: Twisted tea feels fun and celebrates extreme fandom on game day.

- 2:38:18Speaker 5: to turn up your game day. Keep it twisted. Grab
- 2:38:21Speaker 5: a refreshing twisted tea today. This twisted question comes from
- 2:38:23Speaker 5: Mitch Carsley. We had a nice little video for us.
- 2:38:26Speaker 2: Yeah, I had a nice little video to stick down
- 2:38:28Speaker 2: and twisted tea.
- 2:38:29Speaker 5: Obviously, if you're watching on YouTube you'll be able to
- 2:38:31Speaker 5: and we we've all had a long day.
- 2:38:32Speaker 8: Well what's up, boys, it's Mitch. I'm here with your
- 2:38:38Speaker 8: twisted question. We got three this week for you. Kind
- 2:38:41Speaker 8: of pick your choosing, but we wanted we wanted to
- 2:38:43Speaker 8: keep this segment going and me stereotypically having the bad questions,
- 2:38:48Speaker 8: I gotta deliver. So first question, what sport is more physical?
- 2:38:53Speaker 8: Hockey or football? We got spin and chickle guys. We
- 2:38:55Speaker 8: got you guys, kind of pick your which one's more physical?
- 2:38:59Speaker 8: The second one? Who would you rather fight on ice?
- 2:39:03Speaker 8: Mike Tyson who can who can skate? Or a mountain
- 2:39:07Speaker 8: lion that has never been on ice before but you
- 2:39:10Speaker 8: know they're scrappy. Final question, and I think this might
- 2:39:13Speaker 8: be the best one. Are there more eyes or are
- 2:39:16Speaker 8: there more legs in the world? And this includes animals?
- 2:39:21Speaker 8: Which one do you think there are more of?
- 2:39:23Speaker 1: Those? Are your twisted questions for this week.
- 2:39:25Speaker 2: First question is what do you think is more physical?
- 2:39:27Speaker 1: Way? More physical?
- 2:39:28Speaker 5: Hockeyer?
- 2:39:28Speaker 2: Football?
- 2:39:29Speaker 1: Football a two games, more of a grind in a sense,
- 2:39:33Speaker 1: but yes, football.
- 2:39:34Speaker 5: I think we're all in consensus. There next one Mike
- 2:39:36Speaker 5: Tyson or Mike Tyson that can skate or fight at
- 2:39:40Speaker 5: cougar that has never.
- 2:39:41Speaker 1: Been a nice one.
- 2:39:41Speaker 4: I would like to I choose the cougar.
- 2:39:44Speaker 7: Sounds crazy, but I hopefully he keeps slipping on ice,
- 2:39:47Speaker 7: like if you tight turn, maybe at some point he
- 2:39:49Speaker 7: wears you down. But if Tyson can fly and catch you,
- 2:39:52Speaker 7: he's gonna kill you.
- 2:39:53Speaker 1: Well, I guess you could just kind of keep skating
- 2:39:55Speaker 1: away from the it's a mountain lion, Yeah, I guess
- 2:39:58Speaker 1: I'll just keep fucking juking it. It will tire of
- 2:40:00Speaker 1: it out and eventually kind of quick and.
- 2:40:02Speaker 5: You can start using them skates his weapons to eventually.
- 2:40:05Speaker 1: True, that's true.
- 2:40:06Speaker 5: I take the Mountain Lion as well. And then what
- 2:40:09Speaker 5: was the third question?
- 2:40:10Speaker 2: One?
- 2:40:12Speaker 5: Yeah, animals.
- 2:40:14Speaker 4: I know I was thinking eyes to because they have
- 2:40:16Speaker 4: legs and eyes.
- 2:40:18Speaker 5: Yeah, but I think yeah, because flies got shiploads of eyes.
- 2:40:23Speaker 4: Huh.
- 2:40:30Speaker 1: We we have to pick guy.
- 2:40:33Speaker 5: Consensus all around, boys. I hope you enjoy great episode. Everyone, guys,
