• 0:01
  Speaker 1: When I woke up this morning, I was feeling pretty dangerous.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: We're on a Cincinnati it's my team, it's my quarterback.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: They are who we thought they were, and we got
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: about Hello, you play to win the day. They want
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: you to cook the dinner. At least they ought to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: let your shout for some of the grocery. And on
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the way up, we're gonna buy a kneecap. All get playoffs.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: I'm just here so I won't get fine. How could
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: he not be romantic about football? Hello, lovely people. Welcome
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: to the bench with Benetta Podcast. Uh. Last time we
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: talked last Tuesday. Nothing's really happened since then. It's been
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: very quiet, slow, slow week, almost no news at all.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I'm going insane. Oh what a week, What a terrible,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: terrible week. Last time we were here on we're sitting
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: pretty we were feeling good as Browns band. We were like,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: whoof things happened? Deshaun Watson is now the starting quarterback
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: for the Cleveland Browns. Baker Mayfield has walked away at
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: this point in time, barring some emergency happening while we're recording,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield is just in limbo in quarterback limbo right now,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: we have no idea where he's going. Panther said, they
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: don't want him. Could it be Seattle, Could it be Nowhere,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Could it be Pittsburgh. We don't know. It's been an
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: interesting week. I feel like I don't really want to
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: talk about the bad stuff. I'm a little tired. I'm exhausted.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I think I've said my piece at this point. I
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: think everyone's basically said their piece. I'm I've made the
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: decision to move on from the team that I love
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: very much, and just real quick, you know, I fell
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: in love with the Cleveland Browns. I've only been covering
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: football for this will be my fifth season coming up.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I know, shocker. I'm an incredible analysis and I know
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: so much so that's shocking to you. But when I
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: first started covering football, I was hosting a show on
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports called Lock It In, and I never really
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: watched football before, and I decided that I wanted to
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: adopt a team so that I could really get into it.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: And that was the year that the Browns were on
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Hard Knocks and I was introduced to Baker Mayfield and
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: this incredible personality. Remember when he was like impersonating coaches
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: and guys on the team, like he was just so
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: fun and the rest of the team was just so energetic,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: and Hugh Jackson was a mess and they had the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: beer fridge that was locked, and I was like, what,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I don't even need to watch a game. I'm in
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: love with this team, Like they were just so much
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: fun to root for in the past few years have
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: literally been so incredible. I fell in love with a
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: sport that I never really felt like I could get
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: into when I was younger. I felt like it was
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: too complicated. I thought there was too many rules. I
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: grew up watching hockey, not football. I don't have those
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: stories with my family, our thanksgivings, not even the same
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: in Canada. Okay, I didn't have those memories. And I
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: just fell in love with a team, these lovable losers.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: And I really feel like that's kind of how it
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: came down to my decision this week to move on
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: from the Cleveland Browns is I realized the reason I
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: fell in love with them is because of their character,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: that these lovable losers, like I said, and I think
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: that that character is no longer what it was, and
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: so I think I would just have a really hard
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: time moving forward and to each their own. I'm not
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: telling anybody to do anything. I've talked to so many
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Browns fans this week, friends of mine, people that I
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: don't know, and they all there's there's a lot of
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: different opinions out there, and some people will stay and
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: some people will go. Um. I am unfortunately choosing to
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: move on, and it sucks. I'm really really sad. But
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: good thing is I now love football, and to be honest,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: my Sunday's my week doesn't change much like I watch
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: every single game anyways, and so I'm going to continue
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: to cheer for good football and chaos, which we love
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: on this podcast. But it did have me thinking this week.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I did love the whole falling in love with a
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: football team, so why not try to do it again? Baby?
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: We are starting the what should we call this fellas
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: bench Bachelorette? Whoa? This music sounds sad? Okay? This music
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: sounds like I'm a widow, we're work shopping. Love it? Okay?
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: What about this one? YEA love the symbols because it's bachelorette.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: To me to hear the symbols, I think that sound
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: it's sad. Okay, Okay, maybe maybe my husband didn't die.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Maybe I chose myself. Okay, huh, that's what this song's
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: giving me. A story of hope benched Bachelorette. Okay, you
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: can cut it. That's the one. So every single week
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: now leading up to the very first game of the season.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: How many weeks do we have left? About twenty one,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: twenty two. So there's thirty two teams that we are
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: going to meet today, and we're gonna kind of go
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: around the carousel. This is the first night of Bachelor.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: This is when all the people are coming out of
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: the limos and introducing themselves, and you learn weird things
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: and you see some try to see if her tracking
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: in the first place. Okay, because as we learned on
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: love is blind, love is not always blind. You gotta
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: gotta like what you're seeing here, you know what I mean.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna go through some teams here. I opened it.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I mistakenly opened up my DMS today, and I regret
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: to inform you they are still I literally just looked
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: at my DMS still so many messages coming in. I
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: asked our lovely listeners if perhaps somebody was in the
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: market for a team, what would make your team so attractive.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: And I got so many messages I haven't been able
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: to even open all of them. So we're gonna get
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: through those in a second. Here, should we go through
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: some of these teams? So let's just do like a
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: little carousel situation. Yeah, you will meet some of the teams.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: It's like on the Bachelorette. You don't hear from every
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: single guy. You can't. Yeah, you need some curveball. So
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: I found this website called wordwall dot net and it's
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: literally a carousel with all of these NFL teams. So
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna I'm gonna spit it. Okay, I am
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: landing the Kansas City Chiefs. Okay, here's my initial thoughts. Um,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I would feel like a little bit of a bandwagon
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: situation because the Kansas City Chiefs have been incredible the
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: past few years. You've got the best quarterback in the NFL.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: You've got Travis Kelsey, You've got a defense that's actually
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: been showing up this past year. Right old more than
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying. It might start to be a bit
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: of a whole picture here. But you've got Jackson Holmes,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: you've got the tiktok's're gonna have to deal with. They
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: just signed Juju Smith Schuster. That's more. Juju is a
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Steeler's favorite. Those bringbacks and bad memories of him dancing
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: on the Brown's logo right again. Related back to TikTok,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I feel like TikTok could be a barrier between myself
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: and the Chiefs. What about Andy Reid? Then, my guy
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Andy Reid? Who how could you not love him? The
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: must as, the glasses, the Chommy Bahama shirts, his love
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: of cheeseburgers. Um, oh, that's a toughie. He's gonna rail
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: me back in, but I am hesitant to climb aboard.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Also the fans, the caliber of fans. I mean that place,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: just Arrowhead, I think hows the loudest recorded decibel um
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: arena in all of NFL. Can you even call it
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: an arena? I mean stadium. That's my Canadian coming out.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: But you've got fans like Paul Red, You've got some
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: pretty rob riggle Um. Who's the guy from Modern Family?
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Real quick? Um Cam, the guy who played Thank You? Okay,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: so there there is solid pick. Okay, let's spin again.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Oh ooh, it landed on the Baltimore Ravens. Now, okay, okay,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: oh call that Hunt cool down. Boltimore Ravens is actually
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: very intriguing to me because there has been there's been
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the petty Rachel is thinking about AFC North, like why
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: don't I just go to another team because that's gonna
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: really you know, not that literally anybody cares. But I
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: can't really drive of a fork in to him. So
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I was thinking about the Steelers. I don't think I
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: can do that. That's that's too much. Bengals, they were
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: just in the super Bowl like that. Also, Joe Burrows
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: great and Joe Burrows great. For me, it's Ohio. So yeah,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: it's still Ohio. Okay, so we know where Mohun's leaning is.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Maybe dating the Bengals right now, but the Ravens. The
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: only thing I would worry about the Ravens is Lamar
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Jackson was like, look what happened to him this year?
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: He got really sick a bunch, not even with COVID.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I think he just kept on like not being able
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: to take care of himself. Or was he just sitting
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: out because he didn't maybe the I know, the team
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: got like rocked with injuries and Covid at the very
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: beginning of this Sea season was sitting because he was
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: just like, it's just not my year. Do you feel
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: a little bit like breaking up with someone and then
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: dating their best friend if you go with a team
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: in the AFC North, Yes, But what if the guy
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: that you're breaking up with, like did something real bad
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: that's fair, like kiss your mother, or what if it's
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: like you're dating someone and then you start you break
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: up with them and you start dating their bully. That's
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: basically what it is. The Ravens crush. The I don't
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: know if that sounds that sounds kind of hot, spicy,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: that's at all. Right, let's spit again Ravens maybe, oh maybe, Okay,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I feel like it just like a big flirt. Um, okay, okay. Oh.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Falcons is interesting. I do really like Matt Ryan and
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: they just lost him. We don't even know who's the
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: starting quarterback for the Falcon We don't know, Yeah, Mariota
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: believe unless they spend the eighth pick overall on somebody.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Do people call him Hawaiian Jesus? I think Titan fans
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: used to once upon a time. Well, how do you
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: feel about Marcus Mariota because that was your pride and
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: joy at one point. And I used to love Marcus Mariota,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: but at this point, Mariota, you gotta put the enunciation
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: on the tea. That's the Hawaiian way, just like one
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: of the best humans. And I don't know if you
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: saw all these tweets, like his former teammates tweeting like
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: crazy when he got signed by Atlanta, like congratulations and
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: how much they love him. But on the field, can
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: he get the job done? I feel like he's a
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: bridge quarterback. The thing with the Falcons is you're like
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: buying in on the ground floor, Like you get the
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: chance to watch a team rise from not that great
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: to potentially grow on. So that's I think what is
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: really intriguing to me as we go on this search
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: is like, how could we relate this to a person
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: that's getting out of their limousine, Like maybe somebody that's
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: never been on TV before, They've like not even really
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: had many serious relationships, like just like a you know,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: just like something that you can really buy into. Maybe
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: it's somebody getting out of the limousine that has only
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: had terrible relationships and maybe I've only had terrible relationships,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: and we're looking at each other like, let's treat each
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: other right. Let's do this thing right. You know you
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: deserve better, both of you. That sounds cute. Okay, let's
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: fin again. Let's do this couple more tens. This is fun. Okay, Okay,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: we landed on the Cowboys. I feel like all of
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: us kind of collectively went through something with Dak Prescott
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: and the Cowboys. I don't I don't even care if
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: you hate the Cowboys. Seeing Dak Prescott go down and
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: get hurt and then watching him come back this past year.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I still think that he should have one comeback Player
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: of the Year. Yeah, this is a team that I
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: can buy into. This is a but I also, you know,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Sally Acono cousin sal is a very good friend of mine.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I've seen him go through some pain. I don't know
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: if I want the same war wounds as he as
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: he has. Speaking of, I really want to have so
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: many people on this podcast this summer. We don't really
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: do guests were exclusive VIP on this podcast, but I
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: do really want people to come and sit here and
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: look me in my face and tell me why I
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: should or should not be a fan of their team.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: So we'll get sal in here. I just did his podcast,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: who he owes me one Cynthia Freeland. I just talked
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: to smartest person in the building here. She is a
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: huge Lions fan. I don't even want to say huge
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: because she denies it, like literally anytime anyone brings it up.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: But if they're playing well on a Sunday, you check
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: her tweets because she'll be cheering for the Lions. So
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: not that often or very seldom, very seldom. Okay, hold on,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: let me ask you as this. I have my favorites
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: in my head. Okay, who give me your top three
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: picks from most favorite to Lisa Favorite? Well, can I
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: say the Titans or is that too? I mean Titans
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: for sure? Knowing me right? What do you think I'm
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: going to that's the question? Yes. So my pitch for
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: the Titans is simple. They have a very strong female
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: owner who took over a two and fourteen team and
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: has turned them into a franchise that has six consecutive
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: winning seasons, three straight playoff appearances, two straight division titles.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: He had this prepped, he like wrote this down it
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: back because Nashville is an awesome city. Friend of the podcast.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Who I mean, he knows you're not a Titans fan,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: but maybe if you update him on what's inclined to. Okay,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: that's your number one pick, because you're going Titans. Yeah.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Who do you think I'm gonna go with? I think
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: the Chargers? Do you think I'm gonna go with the Chargers?
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Locool local team? Jack? Uh? Justin Herbert's great, nice young quarterback,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: good flow. Uh. They're kind of the little brother to
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: the Rams. I like that. Uh. And it's a fun division.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be a very competitive division. Herby, did you
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: mention him? I've just hurburt. Yeah, he's got grateful. But
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: do they have a cool chant? They don't? Boltop is
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: pretty cool. Don't do that here, Bolt. Uh. Let me
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: tell you, guys, Neither of those are my favorite. Now.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Neither of those are my number one in my mind
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: right now. Okay, there might be class, they might not.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: I guess the ANSWER's gonna have to tune in three.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I can't. I can't reveal that information. I'm just saying
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: they're not my number one. All right? Will they get
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: a rose this week? Okay, Well, that's the thing. I
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: think we are going to give out some roses at
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: the end of this episode, and one team is not
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: going to get a rose. But first I did open
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: the DMS. I want to get to some of these messages.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Here is what the people are sending in. This is
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: their pitch to me. Okay, DMS now open okay at
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Spas says easy the d Detroit Lions simply because you
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: can watch them while stuffing your face every Thanksgiving. Listen,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: this is this is something that I mentioned before. I
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: had these dreams. Watching football on a on a Thanksgiving
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: afternoons sounds so cozy. I would love. I mean, I'm
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: watching anyways, but to root for your team while you're
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: doing that, that sounds really That's an idyllic. That's a
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: very romantic image of football. You have to consider how
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: the holidays are going to play into your relationship. You
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: really do, you absolutely do. Um. This might be a
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: hot take, but I don't love football on Thanksgiving. That
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: is hot because because you're no because like you can't
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: always just sit there. I have to help and do
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: stuff and like go on last minute grocery. I think
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: I know what this is about. Listen, you guys don't
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: know this about Mohan famously in our group of friends,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Mohan takes naps, not yet his mom. Mohan's been known
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: to take naps on the couch like a sweet little
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: baby boy with his mom. And I think like Thanksgiving
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: is the holiday of naps. That is the number one
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: day to nap in the entire calendar year. And if
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: you nap, you can't watch football, so that I think
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: that that's actually why you don't like falling Thanksgiving. There's
• 17:16

• 18:40
  Speaker 1: of love this. I love just watching football. I'm not gonna,
• 18:44

• 18:47
  Speaker 1: football career was when the Browns went to the playoffs
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: because I was like very stressful. I was so stressed out.
• 18:52

• 19:04
  Speaker 1: not wrong. Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
• 19:09

• 19:37
  Speaker 1: the Bills is a big contender. Okay, I'll have you
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: know because I feel like when I started watching football,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: people were like, why aren't you a fan of Buffalo?
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: It's so close all my family, you know, if they're
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: ever gonna go to a game, they're gonna go to Buffalo.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Um okay, And you got, like I said, catching a
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: team on the up swing. Yeah, that seems like Chris's
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: proposed in the Minnesota Vikings, I feel like we have
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: a very similar accent. Kirk Cousins just signed on again.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm super hot on that. I
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: feel like the last few years have just been They
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: had this insane record, Like I don't know what it
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: ended up being at the end of the year, but
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: they had so many one point losses. I was like,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: this has got to be absolutely atrocious for a fan
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: to go through. And Justin Jefferson is a friend. Justin
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Jefferson is a friend of the pod. I could cheer

• 20:34
  Speaker 1: but they're rebuilding. Kansas City Chiefs Kingdom will welcome you
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: with open arms. Here's the thing is, like, I also,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: maybe let's ask our bosses if we can like put
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: a little travel budget behind this baby. There's some cities
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: like listen, I might be a Saints fan, never been
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: in New Orleans, never, and I think that that's what
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: we should argue. We should go upstairs to the boss's
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: office right after this and be like, how how do
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: you expect me to pick between you know, Nashville, which
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I've also never been to, Tennessee Titans and the Saints.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: When I've not been to these cities, they gotta wine
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: and dime you. It just makes sense. It is just
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: the premiere, so we'll see. Maybe we'll do some visits
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: like they do. I think that we should do some family,
