It's Something Unpredictable, But in the End Set Hike!

WEBVTT
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:26.640
Welcome everyone to the thirty-sixth inaugural episode of the Set Hike podcast.
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:28.000
I am your host, Dr.
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:30.399
Tat, and with me as always, Panda Dan.
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:31.760
Tat Boy.
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:33.200
The time has come.
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:34.320
The time has come.
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:35.280
The time has come.
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:36.320
Week one, baby.
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:41.200
It is now the first week of the National Football League.
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:42.399
We are done.
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:43.679
It is over.
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:53.039
I am done pretending to care about a bunch of grown men from around the world falling on the ground and trying to kick a ball into a net.
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:54.240
It is time.
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:55.920
The time has come.
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:57.039
Time has come.
00:00:57.039 --> 00:00:58.320
The real football.
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:01.439
Are you now what are your thoughts on time, Dan?
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:05.920
I mean, you know, Inception is one of the great Christopher Nolan movies.
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:08.480
It's a time focused movie, I think.
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:10.799
But so that's my thoughts on time in general.
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:18.719
I mean, right we we we won't say when we're when we're recording, but there is a game in Australia this week and it's 8 30 p.m.
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:25.359
in USA and it's uh Eastern time and then in Australia it's being played at 10 30 in the morning.
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:28.640
I don't know if the game's in Melbourne or Sydney, but do you know?
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:32.719
It's in and this is how you say it if you want to be what one of the real ones.
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:33.359
It's Melbourne.
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:33.920
Melbourne.
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:34.239
Melbourne.
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:35.200
He's in Melbourne.
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:38.159
L M-E-L-B-U-N is how you would pronounce.
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:39.680
So you're going to Melbourne.
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:40.879
At the cricket grounds.
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:42.640
At the cricket grounds of Melbourne.
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:43.760
Or grounds, excuse me.
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:49.200
So if you go there and you're like, hey, I'm in Melbourne, you're gonna immediately.
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:49.760
Yeah.
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:54.959
It would be it would be like, you know, where's the exit to Wilkie's Barry?
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:56.640
And you'd be like, what are you talking about?
00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:57.439
Yeah, yeah.
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:05.200
Or, you know, calling I I don't know, Gloucester or West Cheddar, you know, like just incorrect names for things.
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:06.480
Lancaster.
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:10.080
Now this this general area, Dan, has a lot of Welsh names.
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:10.719
Did you know that?
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:14.080
Like Balla Kinwood, C-Y-N-W-Y-D.
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:17.680
I'm currently the champion speller of this podcast.
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:27.680
And you know, there are many and and Welsh is from the country Wales, which is part of the United Kingdom, which is with Australia.
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:32.800
And you chose a British filmmaker to describe the concept of time, which I found interesting.
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:37.520
So I feel like we've got this beautiful kind of symmetry going on.
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:38.080
Yeah.
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.000
You know, a resonance, if you will.
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:40.719
Yeah, yeah.
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:44.879
Yeah, like when I envisioned the episode today, I knew we were recording tonight.
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.199
This is exactly this is sort of how I envisioned it going.
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:47.680
Yeah.
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:50.319
And I think we we know one thing, right?
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:50.960
Yeah.
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:53.759
That time is the most valuable resource.
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:58.080
And, you know, these two teams, we'll we'll we'll just go right into it.
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:02.719
In Melbourne, you know, these two teams took time in different variables, right?
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:07.919
One team decided to stay within the Pacific time zone functionally, right?
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:12.800
The Rams said, we're gonna wake up, we're gonna go, we're gonna go back, and it's gonna be like we were nowhere.
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.360
We just had a 14 and a half hour ride to the stadium.
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:15.759
Sure.
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:16.240
Yeah, yeah.
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:20.479
Whereas the 49ers have embraced the culture of Melbourne.
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:21.280
Is that right?
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:22.000
I didn't even know that.
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:22.800
Oh, yeah.
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:25.759
They've been there since like, I think, like June.
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:26.479
Much longer.
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:28.080
Like like eight months or something.
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:32.000
You know, they left, like they lost in the playoffs and then they went to Melbourne.
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:32.719
Yeah, yeah.
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:37.599
So they're almost like completely, you know, they're almost citizens of Australia.
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:38.879
Yeah, that's interesting.
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:46.159
I mean, I I think back to when the Eagles played in Brazil a few years ago Super Bowl year, and we watched that at your house eating Wawa Pizza, great memories.
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:47.199
Huge shout out.
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:56.960
But it just seemed like there was like NFL like mandated events, and I thought there would be more like like a regulated schedule that they had that they abide by, but but I guess not.
00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:57.840
Yeah, it's interesting.
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:06.159
You know, it's it is interesting, Panda, and we know despite your surname, you're a well-known xenophobe, and you know, you're an America first guy.
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:16.480
So how do you feel about the you know, Secret Eye International NFL and us becoming us being the shield, becoming a worldwide product?
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:18.399
Good, bad, indifferent.
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:20.399
I mean, I disagree with what you just said.
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:22.480
I love the world, I love to travel the world.
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:25.439
It's a world, you know, but but good humor there.
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:28.720
I I I think it's cool.
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:29.120
Yeah.
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:30.000
I think it's cool.
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:31.120
What a great word to use.
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:35.680
I think, yeah, I mean the game of football, it's yeah, it's it's I enjoy it as a fan.
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:38.480
You know, like I still remember when they played in Brazil.
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.439
I I the London London games are always good.
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:47.600
So I think Yeah, I think it's good for as a fan, I think it's great to have the international games.
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:53.360
And I'm I I know the international fans really play fantasy football and enjoy it.
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:54.800
So I think it's a good thing.
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:58.079
I for the players, it's probably tough, you know, being away from the family.
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:04.959
And I know that comes with, you know, challenges, but but overall, I think there's a lot of net positives from it.
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:06.000
Well, yeah, I agree.
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:14.240
I think for the fans, like the US fans of teams, it's definitely tough because obviously if this game was played at one o'clock their time, we were talking a very late game here in the US.
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:16.879
We we all know the ultimate goal here for Goodell.
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:28.959
It's to make teams that play international against those other national teams and then have this World Super Bowl where you're gonna have some international conference that plays against a US conference for the actual championship, right?
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:30.240
Isn't that how this is gonna work?
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:48.240
I think that, and I don't want to sound too cynical, but I think that all they care about is the welfare of their fans, and they'll, you know, excuse any amount of profit or money making for the quality of the product and the safety of the players is clearly the number one thing.
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:50.079
I think we can all agree on that.
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:55.120
You know, we these players, their bodies love traveling high distances.
00:05:55.120 --> 00:06:00.480
You know, it there's nothing better for your body than sitting in a cramped airplane for 14 and a half hours.
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:02.879
That's just that's just normal physics.
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:05.519
Yeah, I mean, like I said, that's some of the challenges.
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:14.240
Yeah, but uh, but it's great to see, you know, the rest like it's it's great to expand it to outside the United States.
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:19.360
I mean, but didn't we talk did we discuss how the teams have taken two different approaches to this game?
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:22.160
I did that about 300 seconds ago.
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:24.639
But let's let's get into that a little further, I guess.
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:26.639
I mean how would you what would you prefer?
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:37.920
What would would you rather be the team that shows up right before the game, or would you rather be the team that came early and developed like a uh use to the time that they're in the new the new time zone?
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:42.000
I find it to be a philosophical question and one that I'd be glad to answer.
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:46.399
And what I would tell you is that it depends on what type of student you are.
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:57.920
Are you the person who gets the book report done a week early and you know is able to, you know, do the goody two-shoes thing, or are you the guy who crams everything in within the last, you know, in the last four hours?
00:06:57.920 --> 00:06:59.519
You know, are you a crammer?
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:05.279
Or are you I don't have another rhyme for crammer for the more forward-focused, right?
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:06.959
So that's that's what it is, right?
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:09.360
The LA Rams are cramming for the test.
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:10.800
The Niners are studying.
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:12.000
Nope, wrong, bam.
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:16.800
The problem here is when you do that, you don't have to do anything after that.
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:21.040
Like this is it, you get there, you get there early, okay, great, but you still have to play the game.
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:27.519
If you hand it, if you finish your test or you finish your report right before its due date, there's nothing to do after the due date.
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:29.439
In this respect, you all have to play the game.
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:32.959
So these players are all jet lagged that just got there, whereas the other players that aren't.
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:37.600
Well, with all due respect, the metaphor goes well beyond your comprehension.
00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:42.639
And what what it is is the concept that the test is getting to the game, right?
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:47.920
One person, their test, they decided to take it early and be, you know, forward thinking.
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:53.040
The other person's like, you know, F it, I'm just gonna go down there and we're gonna figure it out and we're gonna go in, go out.
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:57.439
And, you know, I both you can get an A both ways.
00:07:57.439 --> 00:07:58.160
You really can.
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:02.399
I I actually think it's more I don't I don't think it's gonna show one thing or another.
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:06.079
I don't necessarily think one team gets a major benefit than the other.
00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:06.959
But we'll find out.
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:13.920
I I'm sure what's the over-under on the uh amount of times the announcers blame jet lag for the number of false starts tonight?
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:15.199
Uh six.
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:15.920
Six, yeah.
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:16.639
I think it's six.
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:17.199
What do you think?
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:18.480
I'll take the over on six.
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:19.279
I'm not sure.
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:19.600
Yeah.
00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:23.920
Now, do you know what that what the international unit of time is?
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:25.839
The international unit.
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:27.040
It's the second.
00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:28.639
Yeah, that makes sense.
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:32.080
So do you know what a second, you know, what it is?
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:33.679
Would you like to explain that, I guess?
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:34.720
I can I can Google it.
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:36.720
I I would love for you to correct me.
00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:46.320
But I believe it's I believe a second is defined as the duration of a certain number of vibrations of the cesium atom is what they decided.
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:49.360
And I just am curious who was like, you know what?
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:52.080
I want this atom to be what a second is.
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:56.559
Because if nobody agrees on what a second is, then we have no sense of time, right?
00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:59.600
Time is like, we're all just agreeing about time.
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:01.279
We could make it up if we went.
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:02.159
You know what I mean?
00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:04.639
Isn't it such a crazy concept?
00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:05.519
Yeah.
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:08.000
Like I could just make up a day.
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:09.279
I could I could call today.
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:10.720
What like let's say we've already done this.
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:14.399
Let's say, for example, today is Thursday.
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:16.480
Let's say it's, you know, by the command.
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:24.480
I could turn it in, I could change it to raspberry lime day, you know, and I could just have a different flavor for every day and just say that.
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:26.320
And would I would I be wrong?
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:29.360
But you would still have to agree on the second, right?
00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:30.000
Like it's a good thing.
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:30.799
Well, that's a good question.
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:33.840
You need to you need to make a defined like baseline for everybody.
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:36.639
And the problem is you need to redefine this for everybody.
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:39.360
So everyone has to agree to the new unit of whatever.
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:44.000
The reason I bring this up is because the theme of this podcast is time.
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:45.919
I think I've developed it pretty well.
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:52.799
And I believe that there was one vibration of the cesium atom that led to a Michigan win and a Western Michigan loss.
00:09:52.799 --> 00:10:01.840
And, you know, I think if the classic meme, I I think the thing that I enjoyed the most was the person who was like, Welcome to Michigan, set your clock back one second.
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:04.000
Yeah, it's pretty good.
00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:06.399
But yeah, so what did you think?
00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:07.360
Did you follow now?
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:09.759
You're a college football guy too, right, Panda?
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:11.679
Yeah, I this year for sure.
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:13.360
Yeah, I've gotten really much more into it.
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:18.159
Did you were you watching the Michigan Western Michigan or did you yeah, I didn't watch it live actually.
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.720
I caught I caught the caught it after the fact.
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:22.639
Yeah, I didn't see it live.
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:24.639
I was like following it on my phone.
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:28.000
Not watching it, like through and then like we were texting, yeah.
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.440
I I forget where I was that night, but but yeah, I remember hearing about it.
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:40.000
And then I think Turtle, our listener, Turtle said something like, Wow, that was like bull that you know, that was a bullshit call or some bs call.
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:40.960
Well, yeah, sorry.
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:41.759
Terrible.
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:42.080
Sorry, folks.
00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:42.879
We'll edit that out.
00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:43.759
Yeah, yeah.
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:50.399
And so then I was like, you know, whenever you hear someone say controversial call, like you have a tendency to you want to see what the heck they're talking about.
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:55.759
So then I saw it and yeah, immediately I was like kind of like really mad at Michigan.
00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:57.519
I mean, I don't like Michigan to begin with.
00:10:57.519 --> 00:10:57.759
Yeah.
00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:06.799
I just think they're very like cocky and yeah, just I don't like their just their their attitude, you know, when it comes to their fandom.
00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:13.759
But like they always try to say that Michigan M is this like work like logo that people should like worship or something, you know.
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:14.080
Yeah.
00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:16.080
Compared to like the Dallas Cowboy logo.
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:16.720
It's kind of stupid.
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:19.039
I mean, I mean the play itself though, Panda.
00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:21.039
Yeah, you I'm sure you watched the replays, right?
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:21.679
Yeah, yeah.
00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:23.600
Do you think there was a second left?
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:30.320
I mean, if you're watching the TV broadcast, like there it was c the ball was in the air and it was 0.00.
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:32.240
Yeah, I mean the dude's a snapshot.
00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:33.600
What's what's the quarterback's name?
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:36.639
He's like a very disappointment everyone's like fully in this court.
00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:38.080
Underwood, that's it.
00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:45.039
He he lets the ball go at three seconds, and it's a I don't know, 35, 40 yard pass.
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:48.159
I mean I mean it that like go into the physics of it.
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:48.960
Yeah, yeah.
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:51.840
Per the T the TV broadcast, it was zero.
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:52.639
The game was over.
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:54.159
Yeah, it was the ball was in the air.
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:59.120
If I were Western Michigan and I were that coach, I would not have lined up for that last play.
00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:00.799
Just say we won.
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:02.799
Like, just don't even line up for it.
00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:03.360
Yeah.
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:03.600
Yeah.
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:05.200
What would have happened if that happened?
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:06.399
I mean, maybe they didn't know.
00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:08.080
Like, because you assume it did get reviewed.
00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:15.840
It did get reviewed, and then like I just I don't know if they knew it at the time that it was what if you just walked off the field and you're like, dude, we're good.
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:16.480
We just won.
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:17.440
Like, what would happen?
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:20.320
Well, you would lose the game, like turn on the rules.
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:20.480
Yeah.
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:20.879
Yeah.
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.080
But you could be like, it there was no time left, you know, and and put it in display.
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:24.960
Just appeal it.
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:25.440
Yeah.
00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:30.480
I mean, it was kind of stupid because I think at first, like, the Mac like didn't they like support it at first?
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:31.840
Like they were like, congrats.
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:40.159
And then then like a few days later, I guess that people were saying like lawyers definitely got involved, like, and they were they came up with this like crafted message that it was wrong.
00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:40.720
Yeah.
00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:41.039
Yeah.
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:43.759
I mean, it just showed I think that's still did that ever get results.
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:44.559
Like they appealed it.
00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:45.919
Oh, I think that's interesting.
00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:48.159
I think this is going to be in the courts for decades.
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:50.320
Uh, you know, it's gonna be a long time.
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:53.120
Yeah, this one second's gonna last a long time.
00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:54.000
Yeah.
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:54.480
Yeah.
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:56.399
No, that was tough to tough to watch.
00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:57.279
You know, tough to watch.
00:12:57.279 --> 00:12:58.320
Painful.
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:02.159
Yeah, they basically said there was another clock that was the the real clock.
00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:03.759
That's my question for you, Panda.
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:06.480
You bring up the best point, and you always do this.
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:06.799
Yeah.
00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:08.799
Where is the secret clock?
00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:11.440
Where like do they ref?
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:12.639
Was it in like a drawer?
00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:15.919
Like they just like, we're like, oh, whoops, we forgot to put this out.
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:19.039
There's like a replay guy upstairs, and they're like, all right, get the secret clock.
00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:22.720
And and you know, like it's like brought to you by DraftKings, right?
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:24.480
They're like, this is the gambling clock.
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:25.120
Yeah, yeah.
00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:26.639
Oh, he has one more second.
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:30.000
So I mean, it is amazing that they also scored on the last play.
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:31.840
Like, you know, like I mean, I hate that.
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:33.440
I mean, yeah, that's true, right?
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:35.200
You still have to make the miracle play.
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:37.120
Yeah, but come on, right?
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:40.000
Like, act like you've been there before, Michigan.
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:40.720
Yeah, yeah.
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:42.159
Yeah, it's a bad look for Michigan.
00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:44.720
Yeah, did you upstormed the field as a Michigan fan?
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:48.320
Because I'll be honest, in college, I would probably would have been dumb enough to do that too, right?
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:50.080
You'd just be excited for the win.
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:51.120
Yeah, yeah.
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:57.840
I mean, yeah, like if all your friends like that would take uh a lot of awareness and courage to just be like, you know what?
00:13:57.840 --> 00:13:59.360
I'm gonna back off and go home.
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:05.120
Yeah, like you would probably we weren't aware or brave growing up, especially, you know.
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:10.720
I mean, we were I think maybe I would I would have celebrated with a couple DP does and you know.
00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:14.639
Yeah, we were confused and not brave, basically.
00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:14.960
Yeah.
00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:17.360
Confused and we scared.
00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:20.559
And we just followed, we followed whatever the crowd did.
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:21.759
But now we're different.
00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:23.279
We've grown and become stronger.
00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:24.639
Now we've done something unique.
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:26.639
We've started our own podcast.
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:28.639
That's like one of the most unique games.
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:30.960
I I think it's we talk about time.
00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:32.960
Yeah, we talk about time and sports.
00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:38.320
I mean, I we chose the most esoteric sport to be our main sport, which is football.
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:40.240
So it's it's pretty wonderful.
00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:42.159
But but no, that's a great intro.
00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:46.399
Yeah, I mean, congrats to Western Michigan on we we we believe you did win that game.
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:51.279
We actually, as a as a podcast, we acknowledge that as a Western Michigan win.
00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:53.840
We're gonna call Michigan 0 and 1.
00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:54.159
Yeah.
00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:55.039
Michigan's gonna be.
00:14:57.120 --> 00:14:59.360
Yeah, I mean, I'm not a college guy, but I'll go along with that.
00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:00.559
Well, you have the spreadsheet.
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:01.200
You're in charge of it.
00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:02.159
Yeah, so I'm in.
00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:05.039
It's a zero, then a one, not a one, then a zero, okay?
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:06.480
Yeah, that's how that scored.
00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:08.639
That's how the records work in college.
00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:09.120
Yeah.
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:10.240
There's no tying in college.
00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:11.519
There's no tying in college.
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:12.159
Oh, okay.
00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:18.240
Yeah, and like we're kind of since we're on the topic of time, we're kind of following like chronological here.
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:24.159
So so on what on Wednesday night we had we had the Patriots Seahawks game, AJ Brown.
00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:24.639
We did.
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:26.639
AJ Brown's out like three to six weeks.
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:27.759
He got hurt.
00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:29.279
Seahawks won.
00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:32.399
Thursday, we have the game in Australia, 49ers, Rams.
00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:33.039
Melbourne.
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:35.759
For college football fans, Saturday.
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:39.440
You know, there's still a lot of lopsided games, but there is a huge college game that's gonna be.
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:42.559
I believe it would be the buckeyes versus the long horns.
00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:47.200
So it's it's a it's a cattle against uh what like what is a buckeye?
00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:48.559
It's some sort of flower, right?
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:50.639
It's a yeah, it's like a yeah.
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:52.240
Yeah, I don't know what a buckeye is.
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:52.879
That's a good question.
00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:53.360
Yeah.
00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:54.879
Um it'll be exciting.
00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:56.240
That'd be that'll be a big game.
00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:58.159
Both quarterbacks are like top top tier.
00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:00.320
One's Manning for Texas.
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:01.519
Archie Manning.
00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:02.320
Archie, yeah, yeah.
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:06.159
And then uh the Ohio State quarterback, he was like a Heisman candidate last year.
00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:07.120
Was he now?
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:11.120
And they have a top wide receiver, of course, these Buckeye wide receivers, you know.
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:13.039
I think there was a big game.
00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:16.399
Yeah, one former Buckeye receiver had quite the game last night.
00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:18.320
That would be JSN, right?
00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:18.799
Yeah, yeah.
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:19.600
He won that single.
00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:22.639
I mean, he literally put on the cape and won that game.
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:23.039
Yeah.
00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:27.120
Now I and Darnold got hurt, Drew Locke.
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:31.919
I personally I have mixed feelings about AJ Brown leaving.
00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:33.200
I I've struggled with it.
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:33.679
Yeah.
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:35.600
I I hate the Patriots, right?
00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:37.759
Like that that's not news to anybody.
00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:43.519
Yeah and so I was kind of hate watching, but then when AJ went down and was grabbing his ankle, like that's no good.
00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:44.480
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:46.159
Like I You don't like to see that.
00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:47.679
You don't like to see that, right?
00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:53.360
I and even even the Patriots, like, you don't want to you never want to win on that type of thing.
00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:55.440
But yeah, I mean it's it's very interesting.
00:16:55.440 --> 00:17:01.279
The Patriots offense, it does does AJ Brown, is it, is it the I guess it doesn't fit.
00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:06.799
You know, Bill Simmons always has the classic theory that would be the Patrick Ewing theory, right?
00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:11.920
That some like one of the arguably greatest players within the league can actually hold you back.
00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:17.359
In fact, right now we could argue that Miles Garrett is like the Patrick Ewing of the NFL.
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:18.319
But I digress.
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:29.119
Essentially, I'm saying, you know, does AJ Brown, does his presence and his gravity on an offensive play, like on the field, does that mess up the rest of your offense currently?
00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:30.640
Yeah, I mean it could.
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:39.039
Like you there was like, you know, I I was even watching, like, I was wondering if May was trying to kind of try to force the ball to AJ because you, you know, he'll get upset if he doesn't get the ball.
00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:43.920
Yeah, I mean, they but they also need time to develop, you know, to get like chemistry together.
00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:46.640
So I so I I I still think I mean we'll see.
00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:49.920
I mean, May a lot of people say Drake May is overrated.
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:53.039
You know, he threw some bad, I mean, he made a really bad pass at the end there.
00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:56.480
They could have settled for the field goal to tie it up, but that was just a bad pass.
00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:57.680
But but yeah, we'll see.
00:17:57.680 --> 00:17:59.119
Yeah, I'm I'm with you on AJ.
00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:00.400
You don't like to see him get hurt.
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:09.359
There is a part of our hearts that I think we'll always love and appreciate AJ Brown, one of the great, greatest wide receivers to ever put on the Eagles green.
00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:17.519
But the way he there is a also a I think a feeling of like betrayal that we feel with AJ Brown about the Eagles, at least I do.
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:19.759
So it's yeah, it's somewhere in the middle.
00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:21.279
It's it's like this weird thing.
00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:27.359
And I think that and I s yeah, sorry, like before the game they did a segment with him and Drake May.
00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:38.000
Like they they were basically trying to like show like project that they're like best friends, and like it was it just like kind of made me sick, like even watching that, because I'm like I felt bad for Jalen Hurts.
00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:50.960
You know, I don't know all the details of what went sour in that relationship, but but yeah, I was just like that's like that's annoying that he's acting like Drake May is like the greatest guy ever, and like really you know, definitely disrespected Jalen Hurts in a sense, you know.
00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:55.759
Yeah, and and I I don't think it is a coincidence that he took number one.
00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:57.200
Um you know what I mean?
00:18:57.200 --> 00:19:01.759
There's like this bad it they really are like kind of like you know, in a feud almost.
00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:08.079
It's like maybe they were so close as friends that then you know it became like that that friction got a little too hot.
00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:08.720
Yeah.
00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:19.279
Yeah, I mean there you we could talk all podcasts about it, but I I mean I think with Saint Kwan's success was part of it, but but you know, like the the the big thing here is it's it's week one.
00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:23.839
This is the first time we're ever doing said hike podcast before week one of the Eagles.
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:25.599
So this is super exciting night for us.
00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:27.200
It's pretty special too, right?
00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:29.279
Yeah, every podcast is special.
00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:33.519
This one's particularly but this one's the special special most special.
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:34.079
Yeah.
00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:34.640
Yeah.
00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:40.079
This one's very special, and we wanted to really like celebrate this moment in a sense.
00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:44.720
Week one, Eagles were very excited for the season.
00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:49.359
They're playing the Washington, some call them the Commanders, we call them the Clarendons this week.
00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:58.799
And we have a special highly respected guest joining us, and we're very excited to have him join.
00:19:58.799 --> 00:19:59.519
Him.
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:00.319
Who is it?
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:05.680
It is not it's a very well respected guest.
00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:07.680
Who did the marketing department get this time?
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:09.039
Panda famous.
00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:12.880
We watched him for pretty much all our lives and read his articles.
00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:18.160
Lesbow and Philadelphia Daily News and Philadelphia Inquirer Eagles writer.
00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:18.640
Whoa.
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:19.759
Fantastic.
00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:20.000
Yeah.
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:20.799
I'm excited.
00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:23.200
Let's see if we can get us on here, folks.
00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:24.400
Let's get him.
00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:25.759
It's ringing.
00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:26.240
Yeah.
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:27.920
Sed Ike.
00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:28.799
Oh.
00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:29.440
Uh-oh.
00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:32.079
It's that third ring, you always get nervous.
00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:34.160
A fourth ring.
00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:35.119
Uh-oh.
00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:37.039
The media folks.
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:38.720
We're hanging in there.
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:42.480
I'll listen to it.
00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:44.400
All right.
00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:48.079
Well, well, we folks, we're gonna hang in there.
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:51.599
We're having some technical difficulties, indifference of the guests.
00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:54.559
Uh very common in our line of work.
00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:59.680
Our producer is on strike, so we currently don't have anyone who can call while we're doing that.
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:01.599
Hand to dandy sweating bullets.
00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:03.759
We'll we'll no, it's all good.
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:04.400
That yeah.
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:08.480
I know Les mentioned he's going to he was at the Phillies game today.
00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:10.319
Stat boy was at the Phillies game.
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:17.039
So, you know, I know we had a long everyone uh had a long day, but but yeah, maybe we'll I'll I'll see what I can do to maybe have him stop.
00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:20.640
100% we won't worry about that, but I'll tell you what.
00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:24.000
But yeah, week one, what are your thoughts on on that?
00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:27.920
I think that week one is the first week, and I think that's very good.
00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:33.599
It's it's a valuable thing because if there's no week one, you never get to the Super Bowl.
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:44.480
I feel like the Eagles currently are in a situation where everyone everyone's kind of giving this vibe of well, the defense is going to be fantastic.
00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:47.759
We have you we're gonna kind of lean on them.
00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:59.440
And I think uh there is some lopsided nature to the defensive side, but I actually think it manion might be able to put something together here, and I think the running game, if if we're healthy, could be.
00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:01.920
Vastly better than it was before.
00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:02.559
Yeah.
00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:04.079
No, I totally agree.
00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:04.559
Yeah.
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:14.960
That's and I think it's important for us to figure out exactly where Mannion's going to be because I think it's a point of contention with us here in the podcast.
00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:15.839
Manion.
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:16.240
Alright.
00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:16.640
Yeah.
00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:17.039
Maybe.
00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:18.799
Oh, I'm sorry.
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:22.000
Do we I I I received our on the department?
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:22.319
Yes.
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:23.359
What were the names again?
00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:24.079
Randy and Doug.
00:22:24.079 --> 00:22:25.200
Yeah, Randy and Doug.
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:26.400
Yeah, they all right.
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:26.720
Go ahead.
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:28.960
They said Les is available, so we should have a lot of things.
00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:29.599
Fantastic.
00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:30.400
Let's get it.
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:32.559
Let's let's check our phone lines.
00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:35.440
I will not finish that thought because I lost it.
00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:37.599
But let's see if we can get LB on the phone.
00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:38.160
Yeah.
00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:40.000
That's what his friend's called.
00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:40.319
All right.
00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:41.759
He gave us the green light.
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:42.079
All right.
00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:42.640
Here we go.
00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:43.920
Had to call the bat phone.
00:22:43.920 --> 00:22:44.640
Yeah.
00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:45.839
Hello, Dick.
00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:47.279
Hi, Les.
00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:48.079
This is Dr.
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:49.839
Tad on the Seth Hug Podcast.
00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:50.720
How are you?
00:22:50.720 --> 00:22:51.680
Just great.
00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:52.880
I'm very sorry.
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:54.640
I did not hear the phone.
00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:58.079
I have the phone on silent and I didn't realize you had called.
00:22:58.319 --> 00:23:00.160
Oh, that's not a problem at all.
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:03.279
Let us first say it is an honor to have some of your time.
00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:09.039
You know, I I've been a big fan of the Daily News, Daily News Live, the Inquirer.
00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:17.680
It's it's just a wonderful thing for you to be able to just spend a little time with us because we're we're just chatting about the Eagles this year and what your thoughts.
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:19.119
Sure, that's great.
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:21.920
I'm I'm honored that you want to talk to me.
00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:26.880
I'm not exactly in the middle of everything right now, but I certainly have opinions.
00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:28.160
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:32.799
Panda Dan here, Flez, thank you so much for uh joining, like Dr.
00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:33.599
Tat said.
00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:39.200
Yeah, you I mean the timing's perfect too for you know week one year, season opener.
00:23:39.200 --> 00:23:40.960
I guess just a start.
00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:43.039
Yeah, like what are your thoughts?
00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:45.200
I would say like for the season, you know.
00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:52.480
I'm just thinking we're we're here in year six of Siriani and Hertz as the full time, you know, if Hertz is the full-time starter.
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:56.000
You know, it's like I'm like, is this a Super Bowl contender?
00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:57.279
Is it a playoff team?
00:23:57.279 --> 00:24:01.759
And then I even hear some people say that it's not a, you know, they they might miss the playoffs.
00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:07.119
So kind of where are you on that spectrum of where you think the Eagles are at this moment in time?
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:13.599
Well, certainly in terms of talent, the Eagles have the talent to be a Super Bowl contender.
00:24:13.599 --> 00:24:25.279
I think if there's any uncertainty, it has to do with the fact that they're going to a completely different offensive system than they've ever run before for everybody.
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:30.160
If the offensive everything has changed for the offensive line, everything has changed for the quarterback.
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:35.519
They they've lost AJ Brown, who was their top passing game weapon.
00:24:35.519 --> 00:24:43.039
So I think there's a lot there's a lot offensively to be to be shown here, but there's certainly still a lot of talent.
00:24:43.039 --> 00:24:51.279
If the offensive line is healthy, yeah, it should be a productive offense, assuming that the new offensive coordinator knows what he's doing.
00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:54.720
And everybody knows the defense is the defense.
00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:56.240
You know, it's Vic Fangio.
00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:00.079
Every year that he's been here, it's been a very, very good defense.
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:05.039
It even if it's not the very best you ever saw, it's it's good, you know.
00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:13.599
Uh so yeah, they're they're contenders, but it's a tough div it's tough not a tough division, but a tough conference.
00:25:13.599 --> 00:25:17.680
I'm watching right now the Rams and the 49ers from Melbourne.
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:28.559
Yeah, and the Rams are supposedly a super team after you know acquiring Miles Garrett and Trent McDuffie and people like that, and and even getting Aaron Donald out of retirement.
00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:28.960
Yeah.
00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:34.799
So, you know, nothing is assured for the Eagles, but certainly they're they're a strong contender.
00:25:35.119 --> 00:25:40.400
Leslie like the I uh I can't think of a better person less than to you to talk about.
00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:50.160
Now, I I believe maybe in the Eagles history and Eagles or uh Packers' former quarterback coach may have become an important factor in the Eagles history.
00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:51.839
Uh there was this guy named Andy.
00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:53.200
I I can't remember what was it?
00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:54.000
Andy Reid.
00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:54.799
That's it.
00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:59.519
So, you know, I actually think about this a lot that there may be some analogies here.
00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:08.319
You know, I wonder if you feel that there's some parallels where, you know, you had that vaunted Jim Johnson defense, which is almost uh the yin to the yang of Fangio, right?
00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:15.839
That was just Jim Johnson would just absolutely just blitz people to heck, and he had the back, you know, the secondary to back it up.
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:20.720
You know, do you feel like Mannion could have a similar impact the way Andy Reed did early in his career?
00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:22.480
Yeah, that is a good parallel.
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:22.960
You're right.
00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:38.240
I mean, they're very different in that Andy Reed never played in the NFL, but he had been a coach for a while, even though if he hadn't been a coordinator or a head coach, he had been coaching in the league for a few teams, you know, and and several years.
00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:41.440
Sean Mannion was playing just a couple years ago.
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:56.720
He's a very inexperienced coach, but he also knows an awful lot about offense systems, and you know, he seems like a really sharp guy, and yeah, I think they're pretty confident he can do this.
00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:03.359
But you're right, the those teams, the early Andy Reed teams, I started covering the Eagles in 2002.
00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:08.720
So it wasn't like the first year of Andy, it was like the third year of Andy, I guess, or fourth.
00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:20.559
And those early teams didn't have a lot of offensive talent other than Donovan McNabb and a pretty good offensive line, and maybe Deuce Staley.
00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:24.079
But they had a great defense, and that was a bit of a shame.
00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:29.200
I think if they'd had a little more offensive talent, they would have won a Super Bowl.
00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:51.759
But the window for the defense kind of closed a little early for them, you know, before McNabb was really everything he could be, and before they had the great talent around him that you know, and it but you know, the they obviously lost the Super Bowl in in 2005, just barely by three points.
00:27:51.759 --> 00:28:01.599
And then they had that year in 2008 where Deshaun Jackson was a rookie and he was incredible, and you know, they were the offense was good enough that year.
00:28:01.759 --> 00:28:04.240
Yeah, NFC Championship that year to win.
00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:15.839
But the defense by that time, that was actually the year that Jim Johnson became ill and was by the playoffs, he was coaching from a mobile scooter, you know, dying of cancer.
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:19.519
And, you know, the defense wasn't wasn't good enough by then.
00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:22.240
It had lost a lot of of talent.
00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:26.000
It's really hard to marry these things up in the NFL.
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:28.160
You're spending money somewhere.
00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:32.799
And if you're spending it on your defense, maybe you're not spending it on your offense.
00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:42.160
And if you're spending it on your offense, maybe you're not, you know, maybe your defense isn't really doesn't have a lot of veteran all pros uh on it.
00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:44.319
Uh it's a tricky thing to get right.
00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:44.960
Oh yeah.
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:47.359
Um Hey Les, I just I want to jump in real quick.
00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:49.119
I I'm stat boy over here on this team.
00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:56.720
I I tend to just help out with some just fact-checking, but I I'm just impressed by all the encyclopedia knowledge that you retain for the Eagles history.
00:28:56.720 --> 00:28:59.359
I mean, I'm sitting here and just being like, oh man, I remember that, remember that.
00:28:59.359 --> 00:29:08.319
So hearing you recall that is amazing, and and listening to your voice, basically you're your speaking of your your articles that you've written are is fantastic.
00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:20.319
But I guess the the one piece I wanted to bring up there was that like Sean Mannion right now, I know he's been talking about him and his being kind of a useful coach right now from an offensive corner standpoint, but what I mean, do you see him similar to in the ways of like Kellen Moore?
00:29:20.319 --> 00:29:24.480
Because Kellen Moore was a former player and it's a 38-year-old head coach now.
00:29:24.480 --> 00:29:28.319
So are we just kind of like doing the same thing with with like a Kellen Moore?
00:29:28.319 --> 00:29:30.160
I'll sign up for the two-year cycle, right?
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:31.759
We're on the good part of the cycle, Les.
00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:32.880
This is the Super Bowl year.
00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:34.720
It seems to work for our coach.
00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:37.279
Why don't we why don't we figure I'll stick in this cycle forever?
00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:38.720
Yeah, I'll be honest with you.
00:29:39.519 --> 00:29:41.759
Yeah, well, there are a lot of similarities.
00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:45.680
Same deal, backup quarterback, you know, really smart.
00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:49.200
But Kellen Moore had been a coach a little longer with the Eagles.
00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:56.880
Also, the biggest difference is they didn't really change the offense that much when they went to Kellen Moore.
00:29:56.880 --> 00:30:02.240
I mean, it's been there's a lot said about oh, they have a different offensive coordinator every year.
00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:18.079
But it until now, it's always the offense they were running, and the different coordinators would put a different bin on it every time, you know, and and with Moore, that was the year they got Saquon Barkley and they figured out the bye week.
00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:19.119
They were two in two.
00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:25.440
They went to the bye week and figured out that, hey, you know, we have a great offensive line, we have Saquon Barkley.
00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:27.440
Maybe we should be a running team.
00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:28.559
And they did that.
00:30:28.559 --> 00:30:31.680
And Ciriani shaved his head at that time, too, right?
00:30:31.680 --> 00:30:32.160
Yeah.
00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:37.599
Yeah, it was like it was like De Niro in Taxi, uh, you know, taxi drive driveway.
00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:43.680
It was pretty pretty graphic, but fortunately, I don't think any any homicides have been confirmed during that time.
00:30:43.680 --> 00:30:52.799
But I think Les, another good point you make is, yeah, perhaps the the departure of Stoutland may be a bigger change than what we'll see.
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:56.559
And, you know, I I think I'm a, you know, I'm a I have a background.
00:30:56.559 --> 00:31:05.279
I I played some college ball and I was I was trained under kind of the zone schemes like Shanahan-esque acolyte over at Syracuse.
00:31:05.279 --> 00:31:08.240
And I I I'm a big believer in zone blocking.
00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:14.880
It's something where, you know, you hear Lane, you hear Jordan, you hear all the O linemen saying, hey, the rules get a lot simpler, man.
00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:19.119
I go to this space, whatever jersey that's not my colors in that space, I hit it.
00:31:19.119 --> 00:31:26.640
And it'll be interesting to see how Saquon can maybe do the kind of run to the run to the uh stretch zone and make that cut.
00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:29.920
And I think Saquon would be really well managed for that.
00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:31.440
That's a very good point.
00:31:31.440 --> 00:31:33.599
And you illustrated it very well.
00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:36.559
My only qualm, well, I have two qualms with this.
00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:41.599
One is Stoutland is probably the best position coach in Eagles history.
00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:43.440
Yeah, oh, totally agree.
00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:48.880
I mean, they sold those Stoutland University shirts and sweatshirts and things, you know, for a reason.
00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:49.359
Yeah.
00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:53.920
So you're losing something there, particularly in terms of player development.
00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:54.720
You know?
00:31:54.720 --> 00:32:06.640
But the other thing is all these guys that they have were acquired, drafted, signed, to play Stoutland's style.
00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:12.960
The pin pull, the duo, you know, the upfront, the inside zone kind of stuff.
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:19.119
You wouldn't draft Landon Dickerson in the second round to play this system.
00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:19.839
Yeah.
00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:20.640
Great point.
00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:25.200
I mean, he runs, I don't know what he runs, but it's like a 5'2 40 or something.
00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:27.839
You know, I mean, he's not he's not a guy.
00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:31.599
I mean, Elaine Johnson is a unicorn.
00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:32.640
He can do anything.
00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:34.160
I mean, he's so athletic.
00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:34.480
Yeah.
00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:38.000
He's the best offensive lineman ever.
00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:41.680
You know, he was the fourth overall pick in the draft.
00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:47.200
Sure, you can you can run outside zone with him, even at age 36.
00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:53.440
But I don't know, you know, that you can that you're gonna be successful with some of these guys.
00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:59.440
Fred Johnson is their top swing tackle, you know, the guy who's gonna come in if either of the tackles get hurt.
00:32:59.440 --> 00:33:03.200
Fred's not an outside zone, and he had a bad training camp.
00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:07.519
You know, I mean, he's a big, powerful guy who doesn't move very well.
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:09.920
And this is not that kind of system.
00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:20.240
You know, I this system maybe guys like Willie Lampkin maybe are a little more, you know, of what the system requires.
00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:20.799
I don't know.
00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:22.799
I mean, I never played any of this song.
00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:24.880
Oh no, you just said Willie Lampkin.
00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:27.599
Yeah, you just hit.
00:33:27.599 --> 00:33:38.079
I mean, i i I was a fan as a child of the Pee-wee Herman show, and you know, everyone go crazy with a special word, but Willie Lampkin is someone on this podcast that I've been singing his praises for a long time.
00:33:38.079 --> 00:33:42.640
He actually was a Ram initially, and we poached him from the practice squad.
00:33:42.640 --> 00:33:51.519
I thought both he and Mark Lell were like really some of the bright spots of a very rather dismal, you know, offensive output this preseason.
00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:59.200
And so I I'd be very interested to see if the opportunity presents itself, whether or not either of those two would go in.
00:33:59.200 --> 00:34:01.440
But you know, I think you have to have some constant too.
00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:03.440
You have to have some consternation with that, right, Les?
00:34:03.440 --> 00:34:14.320
I mean, when you're that green, I mean, i it's it's one thing in the preseason, but man, when you're going against Dexter Lawrence, who I guess he's a Bengle now, but you know, the big names in on the defensive line.
00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:14.800
Yeah.
00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:18.480
Yeah, I think Lambton has to play center in real games.
00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:25.599
I mean, I know they used him at guard some in the preseason, but I don't see him playing guard, you know, in the regular season.
00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:26.079
Agreed.
00:34:26.079 --> 00:34:30.639
I mean, maybe I'm wrong, but I think you can be a center and be really small.
00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:32.800
He's he's like 280.
00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:35.760
I guess he whatever his height is, 5'10, 5'11.
00:34:35.760 --> 00:34:40.800
Jason Kelsey, who I'm watching right now on a commercial on the on the game.
00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:52.559
When Jason Kelsey showed up with the Eagles as a sixth-round pick, a converted linebacker from Cincinnati, he wa he was taller than William Apkin, but he weighed about 280.
00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:55.440
He wasn't, you know, he wasn't very big.
00:34:55.440 --> 00:35:07.519
You can get away with having a small center unless he's playing like a gigantic new nose-tackle who's incredibly, you know, powerful and and overwhelming.
00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:11.599
You could certainly have a small center, but I don't know about guard.
00:35:11.599 --> 00:35:13.920
I don't know you can have a guy that size playing guard.
00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:14.960
Maybe you can.
00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:15.599
I don't know.
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:18.159
But uh it it doesn't seem likely to me.
00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:18.880
Yeah.
00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:19.360
Yeah.
00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:19.920
Yeah.
00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:21.760
I mean, staying on the offense.
00:35:21.760 --> 00:35:25.920
I mean, yeah, so like I'm trying to envision how this the season might go.
00:35:25.920 --> 00:35:32.559
I'm I'm really hoping that you know Saquon and the offensive line can regain that form of the Super Bowl year.
00:35:32.559 --> 00:35:37.920
I'm really excited for Devontae Smith to be the number one and a team captain this year.
00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:46.639
I did want to get your thoughts, Les, on where where I'm kind of thinking how it might go is that second passing option behind Devante.
00:35:46.639 --> 00:35:54.000
Like it could either be Lemon, it could be Dontavian Wicks, it could be, and then we still got Dallas Goddard as well.
00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:54.480
Right.
00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:54.719
Yeah.
00:35:54.719 --> 00:36:00.559
Um obviously I think they were hoping Eli Stowers would be, you know, in that discussion too.
00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:09.039
But but yeah, just wanted to get your thoughts on yeah, like in order for us to be a Super Bowl contender, we will need a a good second passing option.
00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:09.920
No doubt.
00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:10.880
Absolutely.
00:36:10.880 --> 00:36:19.679
And I think even though I don't fault the Eagles for the whole AJ Brown thing, I think that was all AJ Brown's doing.
00:36:19.679 --> 00:36:20.079
Yeah.
00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:25.440
It's a huge, it's a huge uh thing to take away, you know?
00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:26.719
I mean, it really is.
00:36:26.719 --> 00:36:36.320
And it didn't help at all that Lemon missed so much time and was really rusty when he finally got in that last preseason game.
00:36:36.320 --> 00:36:41.119
I can't imagine that guy's really ready to make much of a contribution right now.
00:36:41.119 --> 00:36:46.559
I think it's gonna have to be Wicks and Goddard, you know, other than Smith.
00:36:46.559 --> 00:36:50.320
And I think you're gonna see him run the ball a lot, at least in week one.
00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:58.559
You're facing a defense that you ought to be able to do that against, and a team that's probably not gonna score a whole lot of points against you.
00:36:58.559 --> 00:37:05.840
I I would think they'd be you know, Lemon eventually, but right now, no.
00:37:05.840 --> 00:37:12.159
And even when Lemon gets going, he's never gonna physically be AJ Brown.
00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:26.000
And Devontae, as great a receiver as he is, and I love the guy, and I you know, I was there the night that he was drafted in Cleveland, and I went to his hometown in Louisiana and did a story when he was a rookie.
00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:28.480
But he's physically, he's not A.J.
00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:29.199
Brown either.
00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:41.039
You know, I mean, that the guy that can just outphysical the defense and get a jump ball, you know, anytime you want, I it's it's it's awful to lose that.
00:37:41.039 --> 00:37:41.760
It really is.
00:37:41.760 --> 00:37:42.639
It's tough.
00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:44.880
It's gonna be very, very tough.
00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:48.880
And it's not gonna be you're gonna feel that loss.
00:37:48.880 --> 00:37:54.400
You know, it's not gonna be like, oh, you know, we who even remembers that they had AJ Grapp.
00:37:54.400 --> 00:37:56.239
I mean, it's not gonna be like that.
00:37:56.559 --> 00:37:56.960
Yeah.
00:37:56.960 --> 00:37:57.599
Yeah.
00:37:57.599 --> 00:38:00.400
Yeah, I think with Wicks himself, I mean, just the player.
00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:05.119
I mean, I watched a little bit of him in Green Bay, and I think he has the capability of separating really well.
00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:07.920
I think he can find open space on the field and get open.
00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:10.400
The problem with him is making the catch.
00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:12.400
And I feel like that's where we'll feel it, right?
00:38:12.400 --> 00:38:24.400
We'll we'll have this situation where we, oh, he's open, we got it, and then he drops it almost like an Al Nelson Aguilar situation where, you know, it should have been caught, and it's like now we're we're remembering what AJ would have done there in that situation.
00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:26.159
Yeah, that's a killer too.
00:38:26.159 --> 00:38:36.639
You know, if you watched that game last night, Romeo Dobbs, uh the one drop he had right before an interception probably changed the game.
00:38:36.639 --> 00:38:37.519
You know?
00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:40.719
I mean, you can say, well, that happens to everybody.
00:38:40.719 --> 00:38:45.360
He was trying to run with it before he caught it, and then it does, but it changed the game.
00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:46.239
It really did.
00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:46.559
Right.
00:38:46.559 --> 00:38:54.239
He's probably you know, had more to do with the team losing than almost anything else that happened other than that final play at the very end.
00:38:54.239 --> 00:38:57.440
But you know, it you can't have that.
00:38:57.440 --> 00:39:05.360
You just unless your margin for error is is huge, you know, that's that's gonna be a problem.
00:39:05.760 --> 00:39:06.559
Yeah, yeah.
00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:07.280
But yeah.
00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:12.159
But it's a great opportunity for them for Wicks, Goddard, so we're super excited about that.
00:39:12.159 --> 00:39:14.239
How about one question on the defense, too?
00:39:14.239 --> 00:39:17.360
Obviously, so many stars, so much talent, like you said.
00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:21.199
One guy I've been hearing a lot of hype about is Jelix Hunt.
00:39:21.199 --> 00:39:25.840
Do you think do you think he could emerge as like a real leader on the defense this year?
00:39:26.159 --> 00:39:27.760
It sure looks like it, guys.
00:39:27.760 --> 00:39:40.800
I mean, I don't know, but I I love he had a great year last year, uh kind of under the radar, kind of building his the deal with him is so he was a safety at Cornell.
00:39:40.800 --> 00:39:42.880
Yeah, that's crazy.
00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:43.840
It's incredible.
00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:47.199
Uh and he hasn't really played edge rusher that long.
00:39:47.199 --> 00:39:54.079
And he at a very high level, you know, and he really needed the work and the coaching and all that stuff.
00:39:54.079 --> 00:39:56.639
But I think there's a lot to be developed there.
00:39:56.639 --> 00:40:03.760
You know, I think there's an incredible amount of talent that can, you know, that they can tap into.
00:40:03.760 --> 00:40:10.320
And that I I really think he's gonna be he's gonna be very, very prominent this year, and they're gonna need him to be.
00:40:10.320 --> 00:40:16.960
You know, their edge rush last year wasn't great, wasn't as good as it was the uh the Super Bowl year.
00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:18.320
And they were very lucky.
00:40:18.320 --> 00:40:21.840
They got Jalen Phillips during the season, and he helped quite a bit.
00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:22.480
Yeah.
00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:29.440
But he's gone, and the guy that they signed to replace him, we don't know when he's gonna play.
00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:33.360
I can't imagine it'll be this week, even though they're trying to be cagey about that.
00:40:33.360 --> 00:40:39.360
So they're getting the Jalex Hunt to have a huge year, I think, to be to be really great.
00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:46.239
I mean, not to be okay, but to be really great, they're gonna need double-digit sacks from a guy like that, probably.
00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:47.119
Well, that's a lot.
00:40:47.119 --> 00:40:56.159
Now, Les, when I when I squint my eyes and I look at Jalex Hunt playing, I sometimes I think about a fifth round pick out of Cincinnati uh by the name of Trent Cole.
00:40:56.159 --> 00:41:00.960
I mean, I think he really I mean, that might be the ceiling for this guy, which would be stupendous, right?
00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:01.519
I'll take that.
00:41:01.679 --> 00:41:02.960
I mean it sure would.
00:41:02.960 --> 00:41:03.360
Yeah.
00:41:03.360 --> 00:41:07.840
It was unfortunate for Trent that he never played on a great team, you know.
00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:18.239
His career was spent late Andy Reid and early Chip Kelly, you know, before Doug Peterson came on board and before they started going to the Super Bowl again.
00:41:18.239 --> 00:41:24.559
Trent kind of gets lost in the people don't talk about Trent a whole lot, but that was a great player, it really was.
00:41:24.559 --> 00:41:26.800
And that's a good that's a good pull.
00:41:26.800 --> 00:41:28.159
I think, yeah.
00:41:28.159 --> 00:41:37.519
I think Trent wasn't a big guy, which is why he was drafted in the fifth round, you know, and but he had that incredible quickness and that intensity.
00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:43.440
He did that his his eyes were just like uh, you know, this is a guy who's crazy, you know.
00:41:43.760 --> 00:41:45.360
I mean his eyes actually looked really good too.
00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:46.960
If you actually looked at it, it's just go eyes.
00:41:46.960 --> 00:41:47.760
Yeah, yeah.
00:41:47.920 --> 00:41:52.239
He it it's just I I I find that it's just been well it's really cool.
00:41:52.239 --> 00:41:56.480
And I I think you were you've been able to see uh the ebb and flow of the Eagles.
00:41:56.480 --> 00:42:00.239
And I think once Andy Reid came in, it it really changed.
00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:03.039
Uh and I think in concert with Jeffrey Laurie, right?
00:42:03.039 --> 00:42:08.000
The the Eagles became a far different team than they were back in the early 90s, right?
00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:13.599
You know, you did have uh the great Ray Rhodes, gangrene, and I think were you in Charlotte at that time, Les?
00:42:13.599 --> 00:42:16.159
I or where when did you get to the city of Philadelphia?
00:42:16.159 --> 00:42:19.039
I know you covered the Sixers and the uh Flyers as well.
00:42:19.360 --> 00:42:20.639
Yeah, mostly Flyers.
00:42:20.639 --> 00:42:23.199
I uh we moved to Philly in '83, actually.
00:42:23.199 --> 00:42:24.079
Oh yes.
00:42:24.079 --> 00:42:24.639
Wow.
00:42:24.639 --> 00:42:25.519
That's a good year.
00:42:25.519 --> 00:42:27.360
Yeah, I was in Charlotte before that.
00:42:27.360 --> 00:42:28.079
Yeah.
00:42:28.079 --> 00:42:37.519
But I was I was a copy editor at the Daily News for a while, you know, writing headlines and reading really good writing, which helped me quite a bit.
00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:48.079
Reading Mark Wicker and Stan Hockman and Rich Hoffman and some of the best, yeah.
00:42:48.079 --> 00:42:54.480
So but and I started covering the Flyers in '89, and I covered them until 2002.
00:42:54.480 --> 00:42:56.639
I the whole Eric Lindras era.
00:42:56.639 --> 00:42:58.079
I covered the Flyers.
00:42:58.079 --> 00:43:04.800
But I paid attention to the Eagles, obviously, you can't be in Philadelphia and not know what's going on with the Eagles.
00:43:04.800 --> 00:43:07.920
Yeah, it's you're right, though.
00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:15.599
This century is so different for young people who become Eagles fans.
00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:20.880
They have no idea what I think being an Eagles fan was like for so many years.
00:43:20.880 --> 00:43:26.239
And even before I moved here, you know, the there was so little.
00:43:26.239 --> 00:43:28.960
The Eagles never had good ownership.
00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:30.960
They never had their own building.
00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:41.760
It was they won the NFL championship in 1948 and 49, and the team was sold between those two seats.
00:43:41.760 --> 00:43:43.360
That's a wild fact.
00:43:43.360 --> 00:43:44.239
That is strange.
00:43:44.239 --> 00:43:45.440
I mean, that speaks volume.
00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:50.079
No, I mean, it was just never a stable, solid organization.
00:43:50.079 --> 00:43:55.199
Leonard Toase tried to move the team to Arizona, almost did.
00:43:55.199 --> 00:43:56.159
Yeah.
00:43:56.159 --> 00:43:59.440
You know, it was just always.
00:43:59.440 --> 00:44:05.360
kind of like a bad organization that occasionally had good teams, you know?
00:44:05.360 --> 00:44:05.920
Yeah.
00:44:05.920 --> 00:44:09.440
And so Lurie bought the team and things changed.
00:44:09.440 --> 00:44:14.400
And it took a little while for things to really develop.
00:44:14.400 --> 00:44:27.360
But you know, this century has been so much better than anything that ever happened before in terms of consistent winning and you know expectations from year to year.
00:44:27.360 --> 00:44:31.280
Yeah, they don't win every year, obviously, but they win games every year.
00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:35.440
They're never they're almost never a terrible team, you know.
00:44:35.760 --> 00:44:36.079
Yeah.
00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:38.400
Yeah, Les, you bring up a great point.
00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:43.440
I have a seven-year-old son, and so he's he's really just always known as you know playoff run.
00:44:43.440 --> 00:44:48.480
And we were talking about the record for the season and I told my son his name's Tommy.
00:44:48.480 --> 00:44:51.760
I told him, you know, they I think they're going to go 11 and 6.
00:44:51.760 --> 00:44:53.920
And he was like 11 and 6.
00:44:53.920 --> 00:45:04.480
And you know, I mean they're just I'll take that you know the the child has seen three 14 and three seasons in seven, you know, uh of 40% of his life.
00:45:04.480 --> 00:45:06.960
So I I think we have enjoyed it.
00:45:07.199 --> 00:45:07.440
Yeah.
00:45:07.440 --> 00:45:13.599
40 years ago if you told an Eagles fan they were going to win 11 games in the season, they would have been ecstatic.
00:45:13.599 --> 00:45:16.320
You know it was it was pretty grim.
00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:19.199
Yeah they'd say I'd I'm smoking what you're going to smoke, man.
00:45:19.199 --> 00:45:21.519
That's because that was not what was coming.
00:45:21.519 --> 00:45:25.519
But but yeah so uh thanks again for taking the time with us last year.
00:45:25.519 --> 00:45:27.519
What are your thoughts on the overall season?
00:45:27.920 --> 00:45:32.880
You know I think uh we'll see what this offense does and we'll see if they're healthy.
00:45:32.880 --> 00:45:46.159
The O-line if the O-line stays healthy and this offense and the offensive coordinator you know aren't terrible it'll they'll win the East again even though I think Dallas is going to be good this year.
00:45:46.159 --> 00:45:46.400
Yeah.
00:45:46.400 --> 00:45:50.159
I don't think the commanders of the Giants are going to be really good.
00:45:50.159 --> 00:45:53.360
You know they might be mediocre but they're not going to be good.
00:45:53.360 --> 00:46:01.360
I think they win the division and we'll see what happens after that in the playoffs with all these teams like the Rams that are supposed to be great.
00:46:01.360 --> 00:46:14.159
You know we'll see if they get sometimes you I know from my years of covering the Flyers, you know, you get to the playoffs and you're thinking oh you can't get past this team and then that team loses to somebody else.
00:46:14.159 --> 00:46:19.760
And you're like, oh well they could have gotten past that team actually because they wouldn't have played them.
00:46:19.760 --> 00:46:20.800
Yeah that's true.
00:46:20.800 --> 00:46:26.960
You know I mean you don't know what the Rams that they're going to play the Rams in the playoffs or that the Rams are going to be healthy.
00:46:26.960 --> 00:46:38.639
You know Matthew Stafford's 37 years old who knows you know but I think the Eagles will have a good year I think 11 or 12 wins and I think we'll just see what happens when they get to January.
00:46:39.119 --> 00:46:39.599
Yep.
00:46:39.920 --> 00:46:43.280
So Les I know we're kind of I know we're we really appreciate your time tonight.
00:46:43.280 --> 00:46:46.800
We don't want to be spent we could spend all night talking yet honestly it's been so fun.
00:46:46.800 --> 00:46:47.280
Yeah.
00:46:47.280 --> 00:46:47.599
Yeah.
00:46:47.599 --> 00:46:57.039
But I mean one of the questions I really wanted to ask myself I know some breaking news came out recently that uh Sean Marion uh will be in the booth for this game.
00:46:57.039 --> 00:47:03.360
And I think a lot of our internal discussions with amongst the team here is, you know, what what kind of uh coaching do you like?
00:47:03.360 --> 00:47:05.440
Do you like being the booth or rather be on the sideline?
00:47:05.440 --> 00:47:06.800
And I know you're a press box guy.
00:47:06.800 --> 00:47:08.239
You know you you wrote from the press box.
00:47:08.480 --> 00:47:15.679
Yeah I never well I you know early in my career in Charlotte I covered a semi trade team.
00:47:15.679 --> 00:47:24.480
It was really a lot of fun and some of the a lot of the players actually played in the USFL after they played for that team but I was on the sideline a lot.
00:47:24.480 --> 00:47:27.360
And the thing that I learned is you can't see a damn thing.
00:47:27.360 --> 00:47:29.119
That's a great point.
00:47:29.119 --> 00:47:43.599
I mean you get a very good feel for what people are thinking and what they're you know the emotions and the hitting and and things like that but you can't see much from the field level at all.
00:47:43.599 --> 00:47:59.039
And I think as a first time play caller probably it will benefit him to be up high he he loses that visceral you know walk up to Jalen Hurts and you know look him in the eye kind of thing.
00:47:59.039 --> 00:48:35.679
But he's got to be able to see what the defense is doing and I know they have tablets now and all that stuff but I would rather be watching this unfold myself if I were him you know at least in the early going who knows I mean there's no rule that says he can't switch it up if he if he wants to you know but I I kind of think maybe upstairs is a cleaner way to do it in the early going less chaotic less prone to you know screwing up real bad if that makes any sense.
00:48:35.679 --> 00:48:36.320
Right.
00:48:36.719 --> 00:48:38.079
No I totally I totally agree.
00:48:38.800 --> 00:48:41.199
For the record you sound like you're a pro booth.
00:48:41.199 --> 00:48:44.400
He's pro early booth until he gets his feet on the ground.
00:48:44.880 --> 00:48:58.559
But really but I think I think you especially if you're inexperienced at this which he is extremely but I think you like I said you get a better view of everything.
00:48:58.559 --> 00:49:10.480
You have a clearer picture of exactly what's happening out there who's not getting what block and you know why the the the shift in the defense is causing so much problems.
00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:16.719
Rather than having someone relay this information to you you're seeing it with your own eyes you know it's true.
00:49:16.719 --> 00:49:19.599
And there might come a time when you don't need that information.
00:49:19.599 --> 00:49:20.159
Right.
00:49:20.159 --> 00:49:24.320
Yeah but first week sure you know do that.
00:49:24.639 --> 00:49:29.679
Yeah I mean I think you know the first game's home right so I think you're describing all the tactical advantages of that.
00:49:29.679 --> 00:49:39.679
Me personally just knowing Philadelphia fans I think it's beneficial to be in the booth because when you make a terrible 32 call and it goes wrong, you're not going to get destroyed by the fans terrific.
00:49:40.639 --> 00:49:46.079
Do you guys less do you think the coaching booth and maybe the press box too do they have battery resistant windows?
00:49:46.400 --> 00:50:01.519
Is that is that something that's been developed Oh God probably so yeah but it's interesting one thing though in the press box and I think this is probably true in the coaching booth you don't really hear the crowd like you do if you're in the crowd.
00:50:01.519 --> 00:50:07.119
You know you're kind of isolated a little bit and for a coach that's probably good.
00:50:07.119 --> 00:50:22.079
For a writer it was a little bit frustrating sometimes because I'd have to I'd see on social media that fans were yelling something or you know there was a certain reaction to something and I couldn't really tell you know that's great.
00:50:22.400 --> 00:50:27.599
Yeah it's great to get insight from that like your life experience being in the press box.
00:50:27.599 --> 00:50:28.480
That's very cool.
00:50:28.480 --> 00:50:52.639
Just one last question related to that Les like just from a career perspective do you have like like I'm sure a lot of our listeners are like in admiration that you got to work at Eagles games like in the sports industry like do you have any advice for Mobile I guess either young writers like even if someone like realizes they have a real skill at writing like w what would be your advice to I know that I know the industry's changing.
00:50:52.639 --> 00:50:54.480
How do we beat out the robots less?
00:50:55.920 --> 00:51:01.679
We need the future less boned I am so I wish I could give you a better answer.
00:51:01.679 --> 00:51:33.440
Yeah honest to God when I I was an English major in college and I got a a a job working in the sports department of the Charlotte paper when I was a sophomore you know just kind of t answering the phone and stuff like that and I was I really liked it and I wanted to do it and there was no thought whatsoever that this job would ever disappear or become endangered you know it it it was this was how people knew about stuff.
00:51:33.440 --> 00:51:36.159
You know it's not like that now.
00:51:36.159 --> 00:51:37.440
It's so different.
00:51:37.440 --> 00:51:46.239
And writing isn't really treasured I don't think or really you know I don't think it's hard to it's it's hard to build value as a writer.
00:51:46.239 --> 00:52:01.280
It's all about like what you guys do, like podcasting or you know having outrageous things which is not at all what I mean there's nothing wrong with podcasting but I wanted to make a living as a writer.
00:52:01.280 --> 00:52:05.280
You know, I was an English major I wasn't a great athlete or anything.
00:52:05.280 --> 00:52:11.280
I just wanted to make a living writing somehow and I didn't know how to become a famous novelist or anything.
00:52:11.280 --> 00:52:16.639
So this seemed like a good alternative but I don't know that you can do that anymore.
00:52:16.639 --> 00:52:22.239
I don't people who really make a good living writing it's rare.
00:52:22.239 --> 00:52:30.400
It's so rare and I don't want to discourage anybody but it it's I don't want to say it's impossible but it's improbable at this point.
00:52:30.400 --> 00:52:43.920
You know you have to be a media conglomerate of some sort you know with TikTok and and other you know things that you have going to get noticed and to get hired.
00:52:43.920 --> 00:52:48.880
I don't think employers really treasure you know good writing.
00:52:48.880 --> 00:52:52.320
I don't think people pay for good writing you know on the internet.
00:52:52.320 --> 00:52:53.679
It I hate it.
00:52:53.760 --> 00:53:10.400
I it's it's off yeah that that's terrible I mean I think you know looking at just your past and when you retired you know you really kind of mentioned you know you you're all about like writing as the sports like you you encourage to create a voice and then in your sense you were more whimsical and sarcastic in some ways.
00:53:10.400 --> 00:53:32.880
And you know maybe we've gotten better at getting information and and being able to you know tell that information out in like a very direct way but the story that goes along with that that is something that you know is individualized and I think that's where you know for us here at this podcast we grew up in an era of football that we listened to you and we really enjoyed what you were telling as a story that really got us to love the Eagles.
00:53:32.960 --> 00:53:45.760
So it's such a hard time right now because it's so access is so curtailed to you know especially anything that isn't a press conference.
00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:49.519
It's very hard to get any sort of time alone with anybody.
00:53:49.519 --> 00:53:59.199
I like to write about people and what what people are what the writers are now being pushed into is well you don't have the access to people.
00:53:59.199 --> 00:54:18.239
So what you have is a lot of technology so you can write about you know film breakdowns and you can write about you know the McVeigh Shanahan system and you can write about whambox and yeah which is fine but that's not at all what I would say.
00:54:18.239 --> 00:54:20.880
I would have a hard time.
00:54:20.880 --> 00:54:24.000
That's uh I'm not an X and O person.
00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:29.039
I didn't play at any kind of level you know I I just I'm not that guy.
00:54:29.039 --> 00:54:34.320
You know and I think that's that's kind of where the the business is going.
00:54:34.320 --> 00:54:41.599
He's saying you know here's a screenshot of why this play didn't work, you know, that kind of stuff.
00:54:41.599 --> 00:54:45.039
And I God bless the people that can do that.
00:54:45.039 --> 00:54:47.039
That's not what I do.
00:54:47.679 --> 00:54:58.880
Yeah well Les we we listen to you and I think we thank you for all the special stories that you gave us and and we grew up learning and reading from you and and the rest of the Daily News and Inquire folks.
00:54:58.880 --> 00:55:04.800

00:56:01.280 --> 00:56:15.840
I'm sure a lot of our listeners would watch daily news live with Michael Barkin and that show was awesome and Leslie Bellin was always one of our one of my favorites and then like Riff Hall we started talking and we realized all three of us really liked Marcus Hayes.
00:56:15.840 --> 00:56:33.519
Yep yeah we're not going to have Marcus Hayes he was a contrarian which I really enjoyed that's that's part of it that's honestly where you look at it but what a special time that was great we didn't kick it off for week one I mean I'm expecting we get that level of guest every single week.
00:56:33.519 --> 00:56:46.239
Yeah that was we had great guests and yeah that is was I I really I truly enjoyed that and I hope our listeners did and what a great you know time to have him on for Eagles see home opener season opener.
00:56:46.239 --> 00:57:01.840
Well let's let's just let's delve into that real quick right let's let's burrow in let's get into the Washington Clarendon Clarendon okay at 425 That's what what time zone?
00:57:01.840 --> 00:57:02.719
Eastern time.
00:57:02.719 --> 00:57:45.760
Okay so in Melbourne and in Melbourne if you're watching it will be it'll probably be like six in the morning 12 a.m yeah well what 1235 a m probably I think it'll be six twenty five a m 625 a mundy correct wow so they're gonna be watching back in time from yeah statboy will figure it out yeah they're three in the morning three in the morning that's tough all right so we were right between both you and I yeah yeah and yeah so it it's yeah so it's a division game it's a huge game now are you going to the game I'm going to the game you're going to the what are we wearing Dan What are we wearing Dan I haven't you know I did buy a jersey this the you know I tried to buy like one see one jersey.
00:57:45.760 --> 00:57:55.199
Okay wait let's guess who we bought let's guess it was it an Eagles player yes okay so an Eagles player I'm gonna guess the color first what do you think the color is still I think it's green.
00:57:55.199 --> 00:57:56.159
Is it green?
00:57:56.159 --> 00:57:59.039
No is it black?
00:57:59.039 --> 00:58:00.480
No is it white?
00:58:00.480 --> 00:58:11.199
Yes all right good so we got third time unique with the white all right all right all right but this is like 20 questions from the EOS number so there was some thought that went into why I would choose this play.
00:58:11.199 --> 00:58:12.239
Is it thought about it?
00:58:12.320 --> 00:58:17.920
Is it a prime number is the player's number prime is the player on your fantasy team.
00:58:18.079 --> 00:58:30.880
Is the player on your fantasy team okay that doesn't help anybody I don't think he has wicks I think he's a player okay so it's a non-prime number white Eagles jersey is he current he's on the team this year.
00:58:30.880 --> 00:59:01.519
Yep okay offense offensive side offense okay it's on offense white jersey non-prime number non prime so one two he put thought into this three five seven nine none of those correct I think it's Devontae Smith I mean that is it six what does Statboy say he then I think I think it's probably yeah maybe maybe it's Hollywood Brown.
00:59:01.599 --> 00:59:24.559
He likes Hollywood Brown he's been talking about him I'm glad he made the team no way he's number zero which is a is that a prime number debatable depends who you ask I don't know yeah maybe it's inlignment nah he's not alignment you already have a Saquon jersey right it's Devontae's fit I don't know I think it's Devontae because he's sitting here waiting for me to give him a wrong answer too yeah what is it?
00:59:25.519 --> 00:59:29.679
I mean I know that it's kind of it's AJ Brown Lane Johns Lane Johns?
00:59:29.679 --> 00:59:49.039
Oh like they make my end of the last design good for you Pam and you know all the Johnson talk you're gonna have to put some weight on to fit into it so you're gonna be walking around your the back of your jersey is going to say Johnson you're gonna be strutting around stand tall you always stand tall in a Johnson uniform.
00:59:49.039 --> 00:59:56.880
Just make sure the number's correct not the not the Fred Johnson number the the lane Johnson number did you pick a Johnson jersey out in a neural 65.
00:59:56.880 --> 01:00:43.280
65 so 65's a great number it is not a prime number I mean he's yeah yeah he's the greatest eagle of all time I'm delighted that you got that jersey I did not expect that panda that's wonderful yeah okay so you're on your white you know your white long Johnson jersey you we obviously a cologne is is ready at the ready the next thing goes the cologne right so yeah did you buy a new bottle of cologne yeah do you get a new cologne I'm in the process yeah I'm a little behind on that I apologize but I I have polo too damn the game is Sunday yeah I'm out of the Chanel I'm gonna wear the polo blue I got a nice stock of that okay and then I'm in the process of getting I'm gonna change it up this year I'll probably either get YSL Eve Saint Lon Scott to ask a question.
01:00:43.280 --> 01:01:19.039
Your life is being defined during the spelling that was my word it was I remember and then trouble finding it Dior I think I'm gonna get to I have like a couple gift cards so you it seems like you're going French with this with the clone I believe so yeah I think they're both French Trayvon okay so we've got a clone so you're gonna be I'm also going yeah so I'm going to Penn State Temple on Saturday at the link that's how we're talking so I'm saying I'm sitting in like section 129 I think it's it's one of the end zones is that near your seats or is that the opposite it's literally the opposite side so one day I'll be on one end zone the next day I'll be on the other side okay are we going meat pie?
01:01:19.039 --> 01:01:44.000
Yeah I mean definitely yeah yeah yeah are there new menu items of interest did they tell you as a he hasn't been there yet right to realize these after he's been there there's something called email that they could have you know there's communication was that like literally the headline of the season is hey we have new meat pies this year I mean that's there new meat pies I don't I don't know if that in the email yeah I mean a sausage roll, a meat pie.
01:01:44.239 --> 01:01:52.559
They probably do have like a new one some sort of some sort of Frankfurter perhaps so question is had they done that in the past have they introduced new flavors because did they have the cheese?
01:01:54.320 --> 01:02:21.440
Yeah you're right yeah that was the new one yeah so maybe there is a new meat piece the lamb and rosemary is like the staple you know that's what is that what you're gonna get next to me in the yeah I'll probably get that yeah yeah now one of our one of our listeners shout out LD she gave us really she gifted an article to us you know Les Bone would be so happy if we were able to read I I don't know if you guys did the homework which was reading that article it was the Australian meat pie competition.
01:02:21.440 --> 01:02:30.880
Yeah oh yes yes and I she also goes to Cornell similar to JDX Hunt but it's not docs fully LD Yeah that's okay.
01:02:30.880 --> 01:02:40.960
But it was interesting to me because the the the judging they have different flavors like smoked wallaby have you ever eaten I didn't even know you're allowed to eat wallaby.
01:02:40.960 --> 01:02:52.400
You are because wallaby I think of Rocco's modern life was my favorite Nickelodeon yes that was a fantastic so I guess you can eat wallaby do you think it tastes good wallaby yeah if they're making meat pies out of it and they're not making it out of something you don't want to eat.
01:02:52.400 --> 01:03:18.079
I'll be honest with you I think when you pie something when you put something in a pie it doesn't have to be doesn't have to taste good because you're surrounding it by like a delicious um outer shell right isn't that how pies work no uh yeah I I we'd have to bring up the definition of a pie yeah so so you feel you honestly feel that the in part of a pie is critical to the success of the pie.
01:03:18.079 --> 01:03:23.440
If you pulled the meat feature out of the said pie, it you want to enjoy it.
01:03:23.440 --> 01:03:30.559
Yeah I mean if you just throw like a sauce and some potatoes you can throw almost any meat no one eats a nothing meat pie.
01:03:30.559 --> 01:03:32.400
They're called like mince pies.
01:03:32.400 --> 01:03:34.880
There's all kinds of different pies what do you put in a mince pie?
01:03:34.880 --> 01:03:41.119
I I don't know I think that's meat that's minced up yeah exactly a meat a shepherd's pie or like a pot chicken pot pie.
01:03:41.119 --> 01:03:47.679
Those are like meat is there a meat free pie actually I'll save this for a later episode future guest.
01:03:47.679 --> 01:04:10.400
Oh here we go oh no fantastic all right so the Washington Clarendons against the Philadelphia Eagles yeah the spread's five and a half tell me the odds yeah what are we I think we're looking at when you think Washington Clarendons like so Jaden Daniels I think of a hotel he kind of had a bad summer though he got kind of ridiculed on social media for some stupid things about LSU.
01:04:10.400 --> 01:04:22.800
He was mad that someone's wearing number five I think so my prediction is that the Philadelphia Eagles are going to win the game and they are going to cover the spread but it's going to be a low scoring game.
01:04:22.800 --> 01:04:26.000
I'm taking the under I believe is what is it 30 38?
01:04:26.800 --> 01:04:28.159
No it's 44 and a half.
01:04:28.400 --> 01:04:45.039
44 now I'm still taking the under we are going to win this game the Eagles are going to win 17 to three it's gonna be a dominant game just nice clean dominant three points that's not a dominant offensive performance that's scary.
01:04:45.039 --> 01:04:56.400
No it doesn't matter because they're not going to score they're not gonna move at all this offensive line is going to be completely outmatched by the Eagles front nothing make an ab boy like that channel 17 three folks you heard it here.
01:04:56.400 --> 01:04:57.679
How about you Panda?
01:04:57.920 --> 01:05:06.320
I'm gonna go 2314 2314 over win cover in the spread stat boy?
01:05:06.320 --> 01:05:14.960
Yeah I feel like we're in the 20s score wise I think we're gonna try to like run the score up a little bit show that we are offense is going to click this season get people excited for it.
01:05:14.960 --> 01:05:23.840
You know, you know Manyan man he's gonna want to show that he deserves this OC job and we learned that the tactical advantage of being in the booth here is going to be on display.
01:05:23.840 --> 01:05:29.280
So yeah I think I think 28 I think Clarendons they have some offensive weapons.
01:05:29.280 --> 01:05:34.800
I think they're gonna have two touchdowns even though I think their defense is good.
01:05:34.800 --> 01:05:36.079
Yeah so 28-14.
01:05:36.400 --> 01:05:47.199
So you're taking the under and you're taking yeah yeah they're but you but we all have them covering and I think that's the way to go I I'm telling you this offensive line for the Clarendons is about as bad as it gets.
01:05:47.440 --> 01:05:51.119
Well they lost their best one right they lost Thompson for his life.
01:05:51.119 --> 01:05:57.119
Which he usually does well at but it's a matter of he's gonna be running into some really good defensive players on the Eagles.
01:05:57.440 --> 01:05:58.320
I I sure think so.
01:05:58.320 --> 01:06:00.800
Yeah gonna be in the booth Swiss manion.
01:06:00.800 --> 01:06:02.960
I I would just as Staff Boy was talking about.
01:06:02.960 --> 01:06:04.480
It's funny you should ask the grizz.
01:06:04.480 --> 01:06:05.519
Like, where's the grizz getting?
01:06:05.519 --> 01:06:08.480
Well, you gotta keep the grizz on the on the ground floor, right?
01:06:08.719 --> 01:06:09.760
Well, Vic is upstairs, right?
01:06:10.079 --> 01:06:10.719
Vic is upstairs.
01:06:10.719 --> 01:06:11.679
Vic, Vic, I'm sorry.
01:06:11.679 --> 01:06:14.239
I wonder if they'll be in booths right next to it.
01:06:14.239 --> 01:06:16.960
Like will they like look at each other during the game and give a high five.
01:06:16.960 --> 01:06:17.280
Yeah.
01:06:17.280 --> 01:06:20.480
There's no way Vic high fives me.
01:06:20.480 --> 01:06:21.440
Like, no.
01:06:21.440 --> 01:06:25.119
I I like to think that uh Victor just rolling meatfalls or something like that.
01:06:25.119 --> 01:06:39.679
Like when Victory When Vic goes to the booth, I like to think there's like four like coaching assistants that like hold him up on like, you know, like like a Egyptian pharaoh like bed that they just carry him onto his seat and then he uh he just sits down and starts just coaching.
01:06:39.679 --> 01:06:40.079
Yeah.
01:06:40.480 --> 01:06:41.760
He's like, that guy, what's that guy?
01:06:41.760 --> 01:06:42.480
What an entrance.
01:06:42.719 --> 01:06:42.880
Good.
01:06:42.880 --> 01:06:44.639
But Mannion, yeah.
01:06:44.639 --> 01:06:46.000
Yeah, I wonder who's in the booth.
01:06:46.000 --> 01:06:47.280
Like or Mahaffe.
01:06:47.280 --> 01:06:48.719
Mahaffey Mahaffey.
01:06:48.719 --> 01:06:49.519
Maha Mahaffey.
01:06:49.519 --> 01:06:52.320
Manion had a press conference today, and he was talking about Mahaffe.
01:06:52.320 --> 01:06:55.199
Like he said like he taught him a lot about the running game and stuff.
01:06:55.199 --> 01:06:55.679
Yeah.
01:06:55.679 --> 01:06:57.280
So you think Mahaffey will will be.
01:06:57.280 --> 01:06:59.840
Yeah, who are like his guys?
01:06:59.840 --> 01:07:00.559
Like, you know.
01:07:00.559 --> 01:07:01.920
I think you keep Grizz on the ground.
01:07:01.920 --> 01:07:04.079
Manion's gonna be like, hey, I'm going up to the booth.
01:07:04.079 --> 01:07:06.159
Like, hey Grizz, why don't you come up with me or something?
01:07:06.480 --> 01:07:10.320
You think Grizz goes up, or do you think Grizz probably hanging out or something?
01:07:10.639 --> 01:07:13.039
But he also kept saying Grizz is a ground floor dude.
01:07:13.039 --> 01:07:14.960
Grizzly is a lizard list.
01:07:14.960 --> 01:07:17.360
Oh he's from you put Grizz as well.
01:07:17.360 --> 01:07:18.719
Grizz has to be around.
01:07:18.719 --> 01:07:24.719
Well Manion kept saying part of why he felt good about going to the booth is he was like, I got a lot of great coaches that'll be down on the field.
01:07:24.719 --> 01:07:28.719
Like so like he felt like there's guys that'll be like good vibes guys down.
01:07:28.719 --> 01:07:32.639
He he he mentioned Parks Frazier, he's like quarterback's coach.
01:07:32.639 --> 01:07:41.039
But yeah, that's why he was trying to like understand like who who's gonna be up there with him, who who who are these great guys on the field that he's talking about.
01:07:41.039 --> 01:07:44.320
You know, I mean it's probably like Brayden behalf and Coop Cooper.
01:07:44.320 --> 01:07:52.800
Let me just say I hope the booth is a temporary thing, and I think Les very appropriately told us, like, you know, the the newbies, they go in the booth.
01:07:52.800 --> 01:07:55.760
I think you have to be very young or very old to go booth.
01:07:55.760 --> 01:07:57.199
The rest of the time you gotta sit there.
01:07:57.199 --> 01:07:58.079
Now he's not wrong.
01:07:58.079 --> 01:08:06.400
Like when you're on the sidelines, like I remember being on the sidelines, you spent the whole time just looking at the screen because you wouldn't you wouldn't be able to see anything otherwise, especially if you're sitting down.
01:08:06.400 --> 01:08:09.360
And us linemen, we got tired very quickly, so we sat down.
01:08:09.360 --> 01:08:16.079
So when you like when you played, was your let's say your O-line coach and your OC, were they booth or field guys?
01:08:16.079 --> 01:08:18.159
So I had three of each.
01:08:18.159 --> 01:08:29.199
So I I had a bit of m of a mix, but my probably my favorite my favorite OC and O-line coach combo, we did it, they were both sideline guys.
01:08:29.199 --> 01:08:36.720
We did have the booth guy, and and typically, like, you know, it it's funny, Hertz gave this quote about using the red phone.
01:08:36.720 --> 01:08:43.279
Like, we used to have the same type of phone thing, and I used to have to talk to the first OC I had, and he'd be like, What are you seeing down there?
01:08:43.279 --> 01:08:45.279
I'm like, I don't know, what are you seeing up there?
01:08:45.279 --> 01:08:53.600
And I used to get always pissed because like, you know, he'd be like asking me things, and it's like, well, you already know the answer to the question, but you know, it was funny.
01:08:53.600 --> 01:08:55.359
Like, I I'll be curious to see.
01:08:55.359 --> 01:09:03.680
I would pay good money, like if there was a way, and I I'm sure in future iterations of the NFL, you're gonna be able to like listen in on those phone calls like briefly.
01:09:03.680 --> 01:09:10.079
Like, what do you think Banion's saying to Jalen if the first three plays is a three and out, you know, and the and the red phone rings?
01:09:10.079 --> 01:09:11.359
What is Jalen saying?
01:09:11.359 --> 01:09:13.520
Manion doesn't seem like a hothead.
01:09:13.520 --> 01:09:16.399
Like, I don't think he's gonna like I think he's just gonna be like, what went wrong?
01:09:16.399 --> 01:09:20.000
Like, stay calm and just be like, what what caused that or something?
01:09:20.000 --> 01:09:20.239
You know.
01:09:20.239 --> 01:09:22.000
That sounds boring though.
01:09:22.000 --> 01:09:23.199
I feel like it's gonna be much more.
01:09:23.199 --> 01:09:25.439
Like if it were Vic, I think Vic would be like, What the hell are you saying?
01:09:25.439 --> 01:09:26.319
Like he would get mad.
01:09:26.319 --> 01:09:27.680
He said something funny today.
01:09:27.680 --> 01:09:31.279
Vic be like, that's your last chance at a meatball this week, queer.
01:09:31.279 --> 01:09:32.399
Just clicks off.
01:09:32.399 --> 01:09:34.560
He's just so brutally honest, Vic.
01:09:34.560 --> 01:09:41.119
He said something today where he was like the guy was just kind of shocked that he he like when he critiques people, he's just like, nah, he's not there yet.
01:09:41.119 --> 01:09:42.319
Like he doesn't know what he's doing.
01:09:42.319 --> 01:09:43.680
You know, it's like hilarious.
01:09:43.680 --> 01:09:44.880
He's brutally honest.
01:09:44.880 --> 01:09:45.279
I love it.
01:09:45.279 --> 01:09:49.840
I bet I bet if he and if if he and Manion are in the same booth, he's like, Man, that sucks, Sean.
01:09:49.840 --> 01:09:51.119
Do something better.
01:09:51.119 --> 01:09:53.760
He's like, I'll just keep it as a three-point game.
01:09:53.760 --> 01:09:55.840
Yeah, no, I'm excited.
01:09:55.840 --> 01:09:59.199
So I I think we have our we should, you know, Staff Boyd this year.
01:09:59.199 --> 01:10:04.000
We should write down our predictions or have the AI or overlords keep it until we take it.
01:10:05.039 --> 01:10:07.279
The game for everyone here or who we predicted the first time.
01:10:07.439 --> 01:10:10.399
Just our guys, like uh like all three of us, and let's see who's the closest.
01:10:10.399 --> 01:10:13.600
And whoever's the closest gets to gets the I don't know.
01:10:13.600 --> 01:10:15.279
We'll we'll get some sort of prize.
01:10:15.279 --> 01:10:15.680
Yeah.
01:10:15.680 --> 01:10:17.279
I think it'll be a Macy's gift card.
01:10:17.279 --> 01:10:17.840
A ten dollar.
01:10:17.840 --> 01:10:22.560
I will get whoever's the winner, a ten dollar Macy's gift card, and it we'll do that every week.
01:10:22.560 --> 01:10:26.720
And then at the end of the year, we'll buy the nicest cologne for Dan possible.
01:10:26.720 --> 01:10:32.880
Yeah, Macy's had their earnings call recently and they like yesterday, I think, and they like they're like crushing it.
01:10:32.880 --> 01:10:33.600
It's kind of crazy.
01:10:33.600 --> 01:10:34.640
Yeah, you're pretty awesome.
01:10:34.640 --> 01:10:36.479
Did you use the gift card we gave you?
01:10:36.479 --> 01:10:42.000
I've I've re- I've re-gifted that actually back to you a couple of times, but then you keep giving it back to me.
01:10:42.000 --> 01:10:42.720
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:10:42.720 --> 01:10:46.640
In fact, if you win this first week, I'm gonna that'll be headed your way.
01:10:46.640 --> 01:10:48.319
Well, congrats to Macy's.
01:10:48.319 --> 01:10:50.159
They're they're one of they are a sponsor too.
01:10:50.159 --> 01:10:51.760
So shout out to Macy's.
01:10:51.760 --> 01:10:52.159
Yeah.
01:10:52.159 --> 01:10:56.800
They even asked, they were trying to do like a segment that like for our podcast this season.
01:10:56.800 --> 01:10:59.279
They wanted to do like the Macy's player of the week or something.
01:10:59.279 --> 01:11:01.199
But we just said like we don't got time to do it.
01:11:01.199 --> 01:11:01.920
Wow.
01:11:01.920 --> 01:11:03.199
We were thinking about doing that.
01:11:03.199 --> 01:11:05.199
Like we support them, but we're you know, that come on.
01:11:05.199 --> 01:11:05.600
Yeah.
01:11:05.600 --> 01:11:09.119
I mean we're we're seeing each other, but we're not you know we we like each other.
01:11:09.119 --> 01:11:10.640
It's like meeting the parents or something.
01:11:10.640 --> 01:11:13.279
Yeah, we like each other, but we don't like like each other.
01:11:13.279 --> 01:11:13.760
You know what I mean?
01:11:13.760 --> 01:11:14.560
Yeah.
01:11:14.560 --> 01:11:14.880
Yeah.
01:11:14.880 --> 01:11:19.039
I think we have time for one email or voicemail.
01:11:19.039 --> 01:11:20.720
Make it good, staff boy.
01:11:21.039 --> 01:11:21.279
All right.
01:11:21.279 --> 01:11:24.960
So we we don't have we have one voicemail, but I'm saving it for next week.
01:11:26.720 --> 01:11:29.680
South Carolina South Carolina or whoever that unknown person is.
01:11:29.680 --> 01:11:31.520
Oh, yes, we will call one of these weeks to.
01:11:31.520 --> 01:11:32.640
Oh, yeah, 100%.
01:11:33.600 --> 01:11:35.760
One eye Joe, I believe, is his uh his name.
01:11:35.760 --> 01:11:36.319
He's gone by.
01:11:36.319 --> 01:11:37.279
Yeah, something like that.
01:11:37.279 --> 01:11:38.000
He was talking about that.
01:11:38.000 --> 01:11:38.880
It was something that's right.
01:11:39.760 --> 01:11:40.079
Yeah, yeah.
01:11:40.079 --> 01:11:42.560
And here's that iHop when he called or something.
01:11:42.560 --> 01:11:42.960
Yeah.
01:11:43.199 --> 01:11:43.600
We love it.
01:11:43.600 --> 01:11:44.560
Yeah, that guy was great.
01:11:44.560 --> 01:11:49.680
So I but we could go to the say the Slayer sound-off piece here because she had a couple sound-offs.
01:11:49.680 --> 01:11:52.880
So, you know, she was very active over a couple couple days here.
01:11:52.880 --> 01:12:04.880
The one post that she shared with us was a post of Miles Garrett being taught by this I don't know who this guy was, but he's teaching Myes Garrett how to hit harder, like tackle people harder.
01:12:04.880 --> 01:12:06.800
And he looks vicious.
01:12:06.800 --> 01:12:09.039
I I don't know if this is good or bad for us.
01:12:09.039 --> 01:12:16.319
I mean, maybe hopefully he gets himself hurt more easily this way, but he Miles Garrett looks uh I'm God fearing of him at this point.
01:12:16.319 --> 01:12:18.479
He looks he looks very scary in his new technique.
01:12:18.479 --> 01:12:19.920
That's what Slayer say?
01:12:19.920 --> 01:12:21.359
No, she just said this is nuts.
01:12:21.359 --> 01:12:27.359
You know, you're you're almost have to register your hands as weapons kind of thing.
01:12:27.359 --> 01:12:28.479
Like it's that serious.
01:12:31.119 --> 01:12:34.479
He's the best D lineman in the in the league.
01:12:34.479 --> 01:12:38.000
He's also a huge Halloween enthusiast, if you didn't know.
01:12:38.000 --> 01:12:39.840
He loves Halloween.
01:12:39.840 --> 01:12:42.319
So I could see Miles Garrett just going off.
01:12:42.319 --> 01:12:46.239
And I I this is he probably looks at this Rams team and he's like, Man, this is my year.
01:12:46.239 --> 01:12:47.199
This is my year.
01:12:47.199 --> 01:12:56.800
Yeah, he's a he's a phenomenal player and definite hall of famer and makes the season scarier that but the Eagles well we'll get to that when we play the Rams.
01:12:56.800 --> 01:12:57.600
But yeah, we played the biggest.
01:13:00.560 --> 01:13:00.640
Yeah.
01:13:00.640 --> 01:13:02.960
So another another uh Slayer sound off.
01:13:02.960 --> 01:13:04.720
We just had our fantasy draft, right?
01:13:04.720 --> 01:13:08.239
Our our uh we are sponsors the league.
01:13:08.239 --> 01:13:10.640
Yeah, yeah, or our Zulu Nation fantasy football access.
01:13:11.600 --> 01:13:14.399
Ice Cown Pete uh for having some folks.
01:13:14.399 --> 01:13:15.920
Yeah, you have to do it.
01:13:15.920 --> 01:13:16.960
You weren't invited.
01:13:16.960 --> 01:13:18.239
No, I was not.
01:13:18.239 --> 01:13:18.800
That's right.
01:13:18.960 --> 01:13:19.359
But that's fine.
01:13:19.359 --> 01:13:24.720
But yeah, we had our first uh we had our draft or our 20th season, and that led Slayer to give us a little sound off.
01:13:24.720 --> 01:13:30.000
Apparently, there is a league that is 35 years old and it helps them keep their friend group together.
01:13:30.000 --> 01:13:31.840
So I think we're on the right path here, gentlemen.
01:13:31.840 --> 01:13:35.039
I mean, we we're 20th season, we got 15 more to get to that level.
01:13:35.039 --> 01:13:37.840
But you know, we got another 15 more years together, at least.
01:13:37.840 --> 01:13:39.119
That's what I'm hoping.
01:13:39.199 --> 01:13:41.840
I I I actually am gonna time out at 35.
01:13:41.840 --> 01:13:43.760
That's so that's very that's very tough.
01:13:44.000 --> 01:13:46.399
So that's when we have our children taking over our team.
01:13:46.399 --> 01:13:53.520
Our so do you think we'll really be able to like in the NFL, like the you know, you've grown your franchise and you you pass it down to your 100%?
01:13:53.920 --> 01:13:54.159
Yeah, yeah.
01:13:54.159 --> 01:13:54.560
Yeah.
01:13:54.720 --> 01:13:55.920
So this league will go beyond us.
01:13:55.920 --> 01:13:56.560
Generations.
01:13:56.720 --> 01:13:58.159
Yeah, that's a generational foundation.
01:13:58.159 --> 01:14:02.560
Tat Nation will be we we're we're very similar, unfortunately, to the Jets.
01:14:02.560 --> 01:14:09.119
So I'm kind of like Woody Johnson and I'm getting this, I'm I'm heading handing Tiger Tat some some very interesting goods.
01:14:09.439 --> 01:14:09.680
I like it.
01:14:09.680 --> 01:14:17.359
Yeah, I think Computer Scott was a big fan of relegation, and the only way we can do that is if you expand the league, and if we expand the league, we need more people, and those weak people are our own.
01:14:18.399 --> 01:14:25.840
So so we're you know, it it would be nice, Dan, if you sired a couple of kids so that they can become the new panda, the young pandas.
01:14:26.079 --> 01:14:26.319
Yes.
01:14:26.880 --> 01:14:27.920
What's a baby panda called?
01:14:27.920 --> 01:14:28.880
Does it have an interval?
01:14:29.039 --> 01:14:30.079
Does a baby panda have a name?
01:14:30.399 --> 01:14:32.319
That's a couple baby panda, right?
01:14:32.319 --> 01:14:35.840
Like a pandette or a pen pin.
01:14:35.840 --> 01:14:37.920
We played this game.
01:14:37.920 --> 01:14:38.560
It's called a cub.
01:14:38.560 --> 01:14:39.359
Prince Panda.
01:14:39.359 --> 01:14:40.800
It's just a cub.
01:14:40.800 --> 01:14:42.560
What?
01:14:42.960 --> 01:14:44.640
A bear's oh, a cub.
01:14:44.640 --> 01:14:45.199
A cub.
01:14:45.199 --> 01:14:46.640
So yeah, looking for some cubs.
01:14:46.640 --> 01:14:46.880
Yeah.
01:14:46.880 --> 01:14:47.199
Okay.
01:14:47.199 --> 01:14:51.840
And then the last sound off piece here, and it kind of actually fit well with what we were talking about earlier.
01:14:51.840 --> 01:14:53.199
We're just oblivious to it.
01:14:53.199 --> 01:14:55.439
There are new food options at the link this season.
01:14:55.439 --> 01:14:56.479
Sure, of course there are.
01:14:56.479 --> 01:14:57.119
Yeah.
01:14:57.119 --> 01:15:00.560
The specific things, uh, a tush-push tater.
01:15:00.560 --> 01:15:03.840
It looks like a baked potato that's cut open with a bunch of good stuff.
01:15:03.840 --> 01:15:07.600
Um, they have Kool-Aid glazed chicken wings.
01:15:07.600 --> 01:15:08.880
Would you try those?
01:15:08.880 --> 01:15:09.359
Wow.
01:15:09.359 --> 01:15:09.840
Hmm.
01:15:09.840 --> 01:15:10.159
Yeah.
01:15:10.159 --> 01:15:11.199
Do you like Kool-Aid?
01:15:11.199 --> 01:15:12.000
Next.
01:15:12.000 --> 01:15:13.199
Yeah, I like Kool-Aid.
01:15:13.359 --> 01:15:13.439
Yeah.
01:15:13.439 --> 01:15:14.560
Uh not on my chicken wings.
01:15:14.560 --> 01:15:15.680
I'm I'm intrigued.
01:15:15.680 --> 01:15:16.800
I'm thinking I might eat those.
01:15:16.800 --> 01:15:18.239
That wouldn't taste good on a chicken wing.
01:15:18.479 --> 01:15:19.199
I think they would be good.
01:15:19.199 --> 01:15:21.199
I mean, you have like Coke flavored things, right?
01:15:21.199 --> 01:15:24.800
You have like coke, you have coke pulled pork and stuff, used Dr.
01:15:24.800 --> 01:15:26.159
Pepper or whatever on that stuff.
01:15:26.159 --> 01:15:27.439
I think it might be pretty good.
01:15:27.439 --> 01:15:32.239
And then the last one here is a South Philly special cheesesteak.
01:15:32.239 --> 01:15:33.600
Now, now I'm in on that.
01:15:33.600 --> 01:15:36.720
So the Philly special, but it's the South Philly special.
01:15:36.720 --> 01:15:37.039
Yeah.
01:15:37.039 --> 01:15:38.239
Is it a cheesesteak?
01:15:38.399 --> 01:15:38.880
And it's a cheesesteak.
01:15:39.600 --> 01:15:40.319
I don't know what the heck goes on.
01:15:40.720 --> 01:15:41.119
I'm getting that.
01:15:41.119 --> 01:15:42.800
I think there's more things besides that, too.
01:15:42.800 --> 01:15:44.479
So that's beautiful.
01:15:44.479 --> 01:15:47.920
And you guys gotta pick a game that, or you know, games that you're coming to.
01:15:47.920 --> 01:15:51.439
Well, can you can you correct us before we head out here?
01:15:51.680 --> 01:15:54.319
Oh, you have this is my favorite part of the night.
01:15:54.399 --> 01:15:54.560
Yeah.
01:15:54.800 --> 01:15:57.600
So we talked a little bit about the game in Melbourne.
01:15:57.600 --> 01:15:58.239
Melbourne.
01:15:58.239 --> 01:15:59.359
Melbourne.
01:15:59.359 --> 01:16:08.960
The funny thing is the the defensive coordinator for the uh 49ers, he was born on September 3rd, but they traveled earlier.
01:16:08.960 --> 01:16:21.199
So his birthday, his 50th birthday was on the third, but they started their flight on the Wednesday evening on the second, and they flew over the international dateline, which basically skipped his birthday.
01:16:22.720 --> 01:16:26.319
I was hoping he had double birthday, but that's when you come back, you would get the boy.
01:16:26.479 --> 01:16:29.920
I mean, does are you allowed to celebrate a birthday with your feet like not on ground?
01:16:30.159 --> 01:16:31.920
I consider him 49 for another year.
01:16:31.920 --> 01:16:32.640
Oh, yeah.
01:16:32.640 --> 01:16:34.640
So he has to relive this 50th year.
01:16:34.640 --> 01:16:36.640
If you miss the day, you don't get it.
01:16:36.640 --> 01:16:37.520
Like it's causes.
01:16:37.840 --> 01:16:39.359
So what about the people at the end of February?
01:16:39.359 --> 01:16:40.159
What what happens to them?
01:16:40.159 --> 01:16:41.840
Because every four years in a leapier, right?
01:16:42.000 --> 01:16:42.079
Yeah.
01:16:42.079 --> 01:16:43.760
So they're only, you know, I I know some.
01:16:43.760 --> 01:16:44.800
Quarter of their age?
01:16:44.800 --> 01:16:45.680
Much slower.
01:16:45.680 --> 01:16:50.880
Yeah, I I know I know two leapier people who are 11 and 12.
01:16:50.880 --> 01:16:51.279
Wow.
01:16:51.279 --> 01:16:52.720
You know, a little older than us.
01:16:52.720 --> 01:16:53.840
Interesting.
01:16:54.000 --> 01:16:54.239
Yeah.
01:16:54.239 --> 01:16:54.720
Okay.
01:16:54.720 --> 01:17:01.039
So the second piece here, I know we talked about the the unit of s of a second is the cesium atom, the frequency of.
01:17:01.039 --> 01:17:06.319
It's the isotrope cesium, the 133rd, which is the atomic mass of it, clearly.
01:17:06.319 --> 01:17:11.680
We talked about how, you know, if we could control the unit of time, how would we, you know, change it?
01:17:11.680 --> 01:17:15.920
Well, if we want to make the unit of time longer, we would have to figure out another atom to choose.
01:17:15.920 --> 01:17:19.520
So let's go with hydrogen one, the first isotrope of hydrogen.
01:17:19.520 --> 01:17:24.960
That will give you a frequency that is lower, which allows you to create the wavelength that is physically longer.
01:17:24.960 --> 01:17:34.880
So now you're looking at if you want to have the isolations of uh hydrogen one, you're actually gonna go six and a half times longer than the current unit of seconds.
01:17:34.880 --> 01:17:39.760
So basically it would take six seconds to equate to this new isotrope of hydrogen.
01:17:40.159 --> 01:17:41.439
Okay, and that sounds great to me.
01:17:41.439 --> 01:17:42.800
So I think we should start doing that.
01:17:42.800 --> 01:17:44.960
So if we want to change that, that's that's a good thing.
01:17:44.960 --> 01:17:55.439
Starting next week, we could so starting next week, the f uh a minute is actually for us will be sixty times, it'll be six minutes essentially, six and a half minutes for our minute.
01:17:55.439 --> 01:17:55.760
Yeah.
01:17:55.760 --> 01:17:56.960
Time's yours.
01:17:57.119 --> 01:17:57.439
Yeah.
01:17:57.439 --> 01:18:07.439
And then uh the number of seconds in the current units of uh of uh cesium is there's six hundred thousand four thousand six hundred four thousand eight hundred seconds in a week.
01:18:07.439 --> 01:18:08.399
That's nice.
01:18:08.399 --> 01:18:08.800
Yeah.
01:18:09.359 --> 01:18:09.439
Cool.
01:18:09.439 --> 01:18:10.800
And do you know what a jiffy is?
01:18:10.800 --> 01:18:12.000
That's actually a unit of time.
01:18:12.239 --> 01:18:13.039
A good old jiffy.
01:18:13.039 --> 01:18:14.720
Um one one hundredth of it.
01:18:14.720 --> 01:18:15.680
It's also a peanut butter.
01:18:15.680 --> 01:18:16.560
All right, next question.
01:18:16.560 --> 01:18:18.720
Which lies uh the buckeye, right?
01:18:18.720 --> 01:18:19.680
So what is the buckeye?
01:18:19.680 --> 01:18:25.760
It's a tree, it's a medium-sized tree in the soap berry family.
01:18:25.760 --> 01:18:26.239
Oh.
01:18:26.239 --> 01:18:28.560
It's the official state tree of Ohio.
01:18:28.560 --> 01:18:29.600
So a soap berry.
01:18:29.600 --> 01:18:31.760
And the buckeye is the nut of that.
01:18:31.760 --> 01:18:36.640
It's a glossy brown nut, and it has a a feature in it, a light tan patch in it.
01:18:36.640 --> 01:18:43.760
And you know, there's people that make these really delicious peanut butter chocolate desserts that are called the buckeyes, which essentially looks like that.
01:18:43.760 --> 01:18:45.920
So you gotta try them.
01:18:45.920 --> 01:18:48.640
And you know, Halloween's coming up, so we maybe maybe somebody will give out some of the things.
01:18:48.640 --> 01:18:50.399
I'll make some buckeyes for you, Dan.
01:18:50.399 --> 01:18:50.800
Yeah.
01:18:50.800 --> 01:18:51.920
I I'll do that for you.
01:18:52.239 --> 01:18:52.399
Yeah.
01:18:52.399 --> 01:18:54.960
I'm rooting for the longhorns in that game, there's that for eye.
01:18:54.960 --> 01:18:55.439
Oh, good.
01:18:55.439 --> 01:18:56.159
So you don't want the.
01:18:56.159 --> 01:18:59.119
But I think Ohio State You're not a shiny brown nut guy.
01:18:59.119 --> 01:19:04.399
I think the longhorns win that game, but I think the buckeyes win the national championship.
01:19:04.399 --> 01:19:10.239
You like your your horns long, your Johnson's white, and your your nuts shiny, brown nuts.
01:19:11.279 --> 01:19:14.399
RD department here had said, like, you guys I can't believe you guys messed it up.
01:19:14.399 --> 01:19:15.119
You said Randy?
01:19:15.119 --> 01:19:15.840
I don't think you're saying.
01:19:15.840 --> 01:19:16.800
Yeah, it's not Randy.
01:19:16.800 --> 01:19:17.279
It's Rob.
01:19:17.279 --> 01:19:19.039
Rob and Rob and Doug.
01:19:19.039 --> 01:19:20.079
Rob and Duck.
01:19:20.079 --> 01:19:20.720
Oh, my bad.
01:19:20.880 --> 01:19:21.760
I've been calling them Randy.
01:19:21.920 --> 01:19:23.680
Don't you guys sign these guys paychecks?
01:19:24.000 --> 01:19:25.520
It's good, it's good to keep them on their toes.
01:19:25.520 --> 01:19:31.840
Like sometimes there's people, you know, the people that work under you, if you change their name up, it's like if they don't correct you, it's weak.
01:19:31.840 --> 01:19:34.319
If they do correct you, like, who are they to correct you?
01:19:34.319 --> 01:19:36.239
You know, it's a minute to spell.
01:19:36.239 --> 01:19:37.920
You know, Randy, calm down.
01:19:38.239 --> 01:19:38.399
All right.
01:19:38.399 --> 01:19:39.119
Take it easy.
01:19:39.119 --> 01:19:40.720
I can hear him in the background getting mad.
01:19:40.720 --> 01:19:44.000
Oh, less amazing interview guy.
01:19:44.000 --> 01:19:44.159
Yeah.
01:19:44.159 --> 01:19:45.600
I just I'm just astounded.
01:19:45.600 --> 01:19:46.560
I can't correct anything.
01:19:46.560 --> 01:19:48.640
I'm actually more impressed that he was able to.
01:19:48.640 --> 01:19:52.960
So Landard Dickison, we talked a little about him and his 40 time, and he's like, oh yeah, he's like 5'2.
01:19:52.960 --> 01:19:53.760
That's true.
01:19:53.760 --> 01:19:57.039
Uh well, we all know that Landon, when he was drafted, he was injured, right?
01:19:57.039 --> 01:19:58.239
He had a hurt knee at the time.
01:19:58.239 --> 01:20:16.319
So Alabama didn't run in the the calm mind, but he did do it in high school, and his time in high school was 5.28 cesium 133rd isotropes oscillations, which is also that's for our physicist listeners, but uh in you know, and anybody else who's listening, it's that's in seconds.
01:20:16.399 --> 01:20:20.079
So it's like 31 or 32 of our seconds.
01:20:20.079 --> 01:20:22.560
Yeah, if you want to if you want to change it up of set hikes.
01:20:22.560 --> 01:20:23.680
Nice.
01:20:23.680 --> 01:20:24.000
Yeah.
01:20:24.000 --> 01:20:25.840
I've seen faster 40s than that.
01:20:25.840 --> 01:20:27.199
But dude, but that's crazy.
01:20:27.199 --> 01:20:28.159
He was just right on that.
01:20:28.159 --> 01:20:30.000
I don't know how he retains that.
01:20:30.000 --> 01:20:31.760
Yeah, it's just it's just so cool, man.
01:20:31.760 --> 01:20:36.239
It was it was great, it was great to even the 1948 fact that he pulled out.
01:20:36.239 --> 01:20:36.880
That was awesome.
01:20:36.880 --> 01:20:39.439
I mean, that was like rapid.
01:20:39.439 --> 01:20:40.640
As as advertised.
01:20:40.640 --> 01:20:42.399
Thank you, Randy and Doug.
01:20:42.399 --> 01:20:46.960
This this is a time that it's finally here.
01:20:46.960 --> 01:20:48.479
It is finally here.
01:20:48.479 --> 01:20:49.279
I've been talking.
01:20:49.279 --> 01:20:53.920
I've been talking about this stupid roller coaster metaphor.
01:20:53.920 --> 01:20:54.800
You've been sick of it.
01:20:54.800 --> 01:20:55.680
Everybody has.
01:20:55.680 --> 01:20:58.000
It's really it honestly didn't make any sense.
01:20:58.000 --> 01:21:01.520
I mean, we tried to fill the time, like be like the season ended.
01:21:01.520 --> 01:21:03.119
We just did all this like weird stuff.
01:21:03.119 --> 01:21:04.159
The Olympics.
01:21:04.159 --> 01:21:11.680
I had to talk crap on Baltimore for like six weeks, and then I had to talk about, I don't know, we picked what Uruguay to do something.
01:21:11.680 --> 01:21:12.720
I don't even remember.
01:21:12.720 --> 01:21:15.119
Yeah, we were just talking about a bunch of nonsense.
01:21:15.920 --> 01:21:18.319
Then we had the World Cup that saved us for a little bit.
01:21:18.319 --> 01:21:20.960
And it did not, but horse racing.
01:21:21.279 --> 01:21:26.560
We we liked horses, World Cup, some golf, we had Double Winchester, which was really cool.
01:21:26.560 --> 01:21:28.159
We had great cop guests folks.
01:21:28.399 --> 01:21:31.279
We were forced to talk to random people that we've got.
01:21:31.279 --> 01:21:32.479
This is what I mean.
01:21:32.560 --> 01:21:34.880
We survived this is what you sign up for.
01:21:34.880 --> 01:21:43.520
Man, you know, it's one of those things where this is the time when you do you hop in with Seth because this is all the riot starts.
01:21:43.520 --> 01:21:49.279
This is when the cologne goes on, the Johnson stand tall, and we are here and ready, boys.
01:21:49.279 --> 01:21:49.760
Yeah.
01:21:49.760 --> 01:21:52.079
Let's so let's start the season right.
01:21:52.079 --> 01:21:52.960
Let's see.
01:21:52.960 --> 01:21:54.079
Here we go.
01:21:54.079 --> 01:21:56.720
Let's go.
01:21:57.600 --> 01:22:00.399
Thank you to us, but let's go first.
01:22:07.279 --> 01:22:08.960
Let's have a great deal.
01:22:13.439 --> 01:22:22.640
And watch our eagle spies, fly gold spike on the road to victory.
01:22:24.319 --> 01:22:28.239
Hey, oh, eagle gold spikes.
