00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:10.160
Hey, you're out there, actually entic and real. You can
2
00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:19.039
tell that actually have some one that's what actually got
3
00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:20.280
what's on the mind movie?
4
00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:21.519
What are you listen?
5
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:24.000
Can find out?
6
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:29.039
Is Touchdowns your weekly spot or end adult days?
7
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:33.600
Cold Lee in Sights, Tan and the Closer.
8
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:37.439
What's up?
9
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:38.000
Good people?
10
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:42.600
Touchdowns and tangents here a bit of an off season break.
11
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:44.679
We had some left ship come up, but we're here.
12
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:50.840
I'm p D cam REO he is and ol gi
13
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:54.920
unk Now that's crazy three times an uncle. Yeah, I
14
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:57.079
wouldn't even say you're the O G younk. You're more
15
00:00:57.119 --> 00:00:58.439
of the prototype unk.
16
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.200
Like you'd literally just be doing some unk ship and
17
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:03.320
you're not even trying to.
18
00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:08.079
I'm an old song. It's Ken the Berry.
19
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:15.640
But yeah, man, without a further ado, kind of a
20
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:17.560
lot of stuff happened, but not really a lot of
21
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:22.719
stuff at the same time, the usual smoke screens of
22
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:29.480
the NFL draft. We're kind of in that weird, awkward
23
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:32.920
phase where we're not really in the second or third
24
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:34.959
We're not really in the third wave of free agency
25
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:39.840
quite yet, but we're in the dog days of the
26
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:45.519
second wave. But yeah, Kenny, what are we to talk?
27
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:51.879
What do we gotta talk about, Well, Kirk Cousins joining
28
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:52.799
the Raiders.
29
00:01:54.280 --> 00:02:04.680
It's just frustrating. I'd rather talk about the Falcons Cale
30
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:09.080
McGary retiring, didn't have to think about Kirk Cousins starting
31
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:12.360
a quarterback for the Raiders, because at one point we
32
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:14.400
both said it like in the past ten years or like,
33
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:16.759
Kirk Cousins's gonna up on the Raiders, isn't they?
34
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:21.759
And yeah, I think the narrative so far has been,
35
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:25.759
you know, Mendoza is still going to be the guy.
36
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:30.400
He's probably still gonna start. My whole thing with that though,
37
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:32.560
is why would you bring Kirk Cousins in there? Because
38
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:38.919
he kind of just hindered Michael Pennix's growth. But yeah,
39
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:40.639
I don't know. Kirk Cousins says he's not there to
40
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:42.919
get in the way, and if he gets beat out,
41
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:47.800
he gets beat out. But what else is he gonna say.
42
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:53.599
Yeah, he's not gonna turn down start her money.
43
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:57.840
I mean I saw a breakdown on the contract and
44
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:02.360
basically it's like like eleven million dollars within the first
45
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:06.560
two years. So it's not a terrible contract for a
46
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.240
backup quarterback or a guy who could.
47
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:10.280
Potentially start for you.
48
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:13.400
So from that point of view, it's a good move,
49
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:17.439
especially considering they're still paying like Jimmy g and Gardner
50
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:23.319
Meshnu and now Gino Smith, So you kind of have
51
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:24.560
to get a bargain where you can.
52
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:35.120
Yeah, it's a I feel like there were cheaper options
53
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:39.599
out there that would probably accomplish the same goal. But
54
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:46.120
her Cousins, I I mean, who better than to have
55
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:50.439
He's the closest thing to Sam Donald that you know,
56
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:55.439
the new coach can mimic for the offense that he
57
00:03:55.520 --> 00:04:00.599
wants to run. So I get it in that regard,
58
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:03.599
like that's Dave kirk Cousins is the basis of like
59
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:14.479
how you're gonna run the offense, And Okay.
60
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:16.759
I don't know, at the end of the day. At
61
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.319
the end of the day, man quarterbacks get hurt. I mean,
62
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:24.879
so you need some short of insurance policy. So again,
63
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:29.480
I don't hate kirk Cousins for that perspective. I just
64
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:33.839
hope he really doesn't get in the way of the
65
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:39.079
Raiders developing their future quarterback because yeah, I'm not trying
66
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:46.279
to have the worst record in the league. Again, but
67
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:50.199
I mean you talked about it before. I mean, Aaron
68
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:54.480
Rodgers is out there, he's available, why not get him.
69
00:04:54.920 --> 00:05:00.639
That's a guarantee my start. He won't play bad. I
70
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:05.879
mean for the Steelers, he wasn't necessarily playing bad. She's old. Yeah,
71
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:12.240
he's still a top Aaron Rodgers, still a top seventeen quarterback.
72
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:24.240
He's still top twenty. So I mean, it's it's just
73
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:29.240
interesting to see how like what quarterbacks getting picked up now.
74
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:31.839
I guess, like it kind of makes sense that you
75
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:36.879
look back at Malik Willison's draft class, He's the only
76
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:42.879
QB to you like a massive deal. Everybody else pretty
77
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:47.800
much washed out. So I guess, yeah, sometimes getting traded
78
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:56.399
as a blessing m anything else burning in the past
79
00:05:56.399 --> 00:06:02.879
couple of news weeks, Well, Fernanda Mendoza, the number one
80
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:06.800
overall pick projected to be anyway, will not be attending
81
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:07.680
the NFL Draft.
82
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:11.079
Oh yeah, I did forget about that. That was the
83
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:13.759
big topic of the beginning of this week.
84
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:19.600
Mostly because of his mom's illness. He kind of never
85
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:23.360
realized his mom was ill. Yeah, she's a massive when
86
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:28.439
I mistaken, it's ready to ability taking disease. But she
87
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:31.720
he pretty much everything he does is just based around her.
88
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:37.839
So he's gonna watch He's gonna watch the draft at
89
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:41.720
home with his mom and his family, which is really cool.
90
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:52.000
Pretty sure, like you know, certain, I'm pretty sure. It's
91
00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:54.480
not like a good idea to not have the number
92
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:59.720
one overall pick at the NFL draft, you know, just
93
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:07.079
for optics and everything. But we live in a viral society,
94
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:11.959
so a video clip that is just as good even
95
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.399
if he's not there getting his family's initial reaction. I mean,
96
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:17.680
that's the real that's the real joy.
97
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:24.879
I mean, Trevon Trayvon Walker, Trevor Lawrence, Baker Mayfield and
98
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:27.319
Miles Garrett all skipped trap.
99
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:31.120
And also Tramon Walker got a massive.
100
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:35.839
Nobody really made a big deal about Miles Garrett or
101
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:37.079
Baker Mayfield.
102
00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:38.800
They were both Cleveland Browns.
103
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:44.439
That's why Baker Mayfield chose a personal gathering. Joe Burrows
104
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:48.120
was fully remote, so he didn't really even get a choice. Yeah,
105
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:52.000
Trevor Lawrence chose his family and no one gave him shit.
106
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:58.279
SA thing with Trevon Walker. People trying to make it
107
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:01.800
a thing now, But that's that's why it's like, Okay,
108
00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:05.879
people want to say, oh, don't go out there and
109
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:09.879
chase Cloud and go out of these Instagram models and whatever,
110
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:17.879
and then you're be rating these guys for not going
111
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:23.240
to the pony show and showing out for the company
112
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:27.000
that they're about to be a part of. And it's
113
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:30.000
like I hear you. I get the tradition of it,
114
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:32.559
I get the spectacle of it. I get that this
115
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:35.759
is like the NFL's biggest event outside of the Super Bowl.
116
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:42.519
And also it's a huge milestone moment for these people
117
00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:43.360
and their families.
118
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:49.200
Like, yes, it's their talent and it's their future.
119
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:52.360
Like if they want to celebrate that moment at home
120
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:55.600
with their family, like that's their business and right to
121
00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:56.000
do that.
122
00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:58.360
They did that. And also, like.
123
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:03.399
The family, the communities makes a huge sacrifice in the
124
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:04.600
whole process of football.
125
00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:06.080
I tell people this all the time.
126
00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:10.440
Football is a community sport, like you need a community
127
00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:14.000
around you. Nobody gets to the league on their own,
128
00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:18.240
or few people do. Everyone has had a coach or
129
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:22.600
a trainer or a mentor a teammate, a guy slightly
130
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:27.960
ahead of them who's done something for them help them,
131
00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:31.080
whether it's give them knowledge, give them gear, take them
132
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:34.120
to practice, pick them up, drive them home, you know,
133
00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:38.279
give them food and water orangers, et cetera. So it's
134
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:42.519
like if they want to pay homage to those people
135
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:48.519
rather than you know, shaking fucking corporate hands and having
136
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:50.840
thousands of pictures and cameras in front of them, then
137
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:56.159
that's that's their right. Like if anything, all you old
138
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:59.600
school football has that go on these tirades about how
139
00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:02.440
these people or soft and just want celebrity and clout
140
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:05.919
and chase all the wrong things, Like you should be
141
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:10.600
chapping this kind of behavior because they're not making it
142
00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:15.519
about themselves. But yeah, I don't know, I don't know
143
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:19.039
how they get how that narrative got turned. I guess
144
00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:23.919
it's just the idea of like, hey, you're supposed to
145
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:27.279
go to the sales conference because your job is sending you.
146
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:31.960
It's like, yeah, but this could be an email, this
147
00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:35.799
could be a zoom conference, it could dial in remotely.
148
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:46.480
Like the interesting part is you mentioned Trevon Walker. He
149
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:49.519
didn't go. He actually just signed a four year, one
150
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:52.720
hundred and ten million dollar contract extension, got seventy seven
151
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:57.799
million guaranteed, and people thought he was going to be
152
00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:02.519
a bust. Turned out he wasn't most capable player to
153
00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:12.080
come out of Georgia outside of uh outside of the
154
00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:18.039
middle linebacker for the Ravens rokwalm Smith for your extension. Yep,
155
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:23.080
seventy seven million guaranteed. I can't believe that is going
156
00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:25.639
to be a bust. I can't believe the Jaguars really
157
00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:29.519
uh an etn walk, But hey, that is what it is.
158
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:33.799
They hit it on a lot of draft picks. They've
159
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:36.600
missed on a lot, but when they hit, they.
160
00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:45.159
Hit and uh yeah, man shout out to Puka Nakua.
161
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:50.200
I hope he gets gets right, gets his mental state right.
162
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.600
Like we've been kind of watching him slowly crash out
163
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:57.720
on the public eye for the past few months and
164
00:11:57.759 --> 00:11:59.759
it's been kind of jokes and then it got kind
165
00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:03.559
of like weird. Now it's just at the point where
166
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:08.639
it's like, let's just hope it turns out okay for buddy,
167
00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:11.480
because he's a hell of a player and the help
168
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:17.159
of a story anything to other.
169
00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:23.120
Not really all right? Well, then I guess that takes
170
00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:34.879
just to college football, all right. So Miami offensive tackle
171
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:42.120
Francis man Mana I always forget. I always mess up
172
00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:47.399
his last names like every third time, but considered the
173
00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:50.000
top ten pick was right tackle for the Miami Hurricanes.
174
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:57.120
Played started forty two games, didn't miss the start this
175
00:12:57.320 --> 00:13:03.279
year and he went and got a combine post check
176
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:10.000
up on his back because there were some issues and
177
00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:14.960
there was like no nerve damn strain. But kudos to
178
00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:17.080
him because some of these guys find out they have
179
00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:22.720
like like severe serious ailments like from their medicals, and
180
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:25.759
I'm like, it goes unnoticed all the way through college.
181
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:30.080
Some of these guys like, oh, you have degenitive back problem. Bro,
182
00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:32.320
you have stress fractors here and there. You need to
183
00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:34.480
go get this kind of treatment and that could save
184
00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:37.840
somebody's life. That could have pushed him down a whole
185
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:42.159
path and nutrition or whatever. So kudos to guys were
186
00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:45.919
those combine medical checkups or recheckups and people are finding
187
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:48.200
out things that weren't they didn't know were there before.
188
00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:51.200
It's better to find it early than to find it
189
00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:58.320
too late. Yeah, they're also trying to put more rules
190
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:05.039
in regarding in il Uh. It's really annoying at this point.
191
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:07.240
So pretty much if you don't have a scholarship now,
192
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:11.519
the scholarship money is pretty much all gone. They already
193
00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:15.159
spent it it terms of like signing day and so
194
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:19.559
unless you're gonna be an early en roly spring ball
195
00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:27.320
is already underway, so there's that. And yeah, they're already
196
00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:30.200
gearing up the festivities for the National Championship Game between
197
00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:34.279
twenty seven. In the last Vegas they released like a
198
00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:36.720
whole Lidney stuff that's gonna be going down like those
199
00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:40.559
four or five days in Vegas. It's gonna be very interesting.
200
00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:49.679
Oh that's about it right now. Uh, pro Day specifics
201
00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:55.279
other than this Nigerian prospect, the tackle who has like
202
00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:59.559
six percent body fat and he ran like a four
203
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:04.279
six forty four five forty. It has like a forty
204
00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:07.559
two hundred vertigo and he's like three hundred and five pounds,
205
00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:10.039
and then another dude is like six six two forty
206
00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:15.159
running a four to four to two. It's the the NFL.
207
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:20.000
It's like in the NFL Global pipeline for players that
208
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:23.559
they develop, and they he performed at the HBCU Showcase.
209
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:26.240
So yeah, it'd be in chating to see what happens
210
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:29.120
with dudes like that. He's they all call him like
211
00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:37.039
an athletic freak. So yeah, but it Mendozas was pretty
212
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:39.799
much the cream and the crop and Ohio States already happened, so.
213
00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:44.600
Yeah, yeah, pretty much the narrative has been uh rvil
214
00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:47.080
Reese is locking up the number two slot.
215
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:54.799
How you feel about that? That's perfect. Yeah, he got
216
00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:57.799
with some coaches and he showed a really good bend.
217
00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:00.879
At his pro dam he only had six and a
218
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:03.480
half sacks, Like he could still be a coverage linebacker,
219
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:06.840
but he's his I think his best bet as being
220
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:11.360
an head dresser because he's just with that speed, strength, leverage,
221
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:16.240
play knowledge. He's just he's too good not to be.
222
00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:20.080
Like the next wave of Headdresher and Sonny Styles is
223
00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:24.399
quietly shooting up draft boards too. Man, six five running
224
00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:28.399
a four four six could do everything. I've been a linebacker.
225
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:33.000
That's fair to come by. M hm.
226
00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:38.879
Trying to fund the next sounds, but yeah, they're not
227
00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:45.200
in here. This podcast is like, I mean that works.
228
00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:46.759
I guess that's fine.
229
00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:56.679
It does. Yeah, man, so uh take her tangent dexter
230
00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:00.480
Lawrence requested the trade Raiders need to go and just
231
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:01.840
make that phone call right now.
232
00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:08.599
Yeah, I think yeah. I think they've talked about we're
233
00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:12.319
gonna use the Sacond round pick to help Mendoza will
234
00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:16.680
helping Doze about getting him a formidable run defense with.
235
00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:19.880
The lords in the middle for a nose tackle that
236
00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:21.440
would actually uh.
237
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:24.559
I mean when you have a get nose tackle that
238
00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:27.960
pushes the pocket up and just makes things easier for
239
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:29.440
your edge rushers.
240
00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:31.880
And he did run a four to eight, so he's
241
00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:34.640
not slow at all. He was actually the best player
242
00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:39.240
on that defense, those Clemson defensive lines. He was better
243
00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:43.000
than Wilkins. He was better than Dog, he was better
244
00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:47.000
than Lost, and he was better then the name that
245
00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:53.680
should not be named, Clinton Farrell. He was better than
246
00:17:53.680 --> 00:18:01.119
all those dudes. He's better than Isaiah Simmons, everybody. And yeah,
247
00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:05.480
you got Tyre Wilson and you can have old boy
248
00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:08.400
what's his name. I mean, the thing about a nose
249
00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:11.599
tackle like that is they can pretty much fit any team,
250
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:16.119
like any team could use that. He's actually better not playing. No,
251
00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:20.039
he's better not playing nose there, that's how good he is.
252
00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:22.400
He's better not playing He's better. It's just a straight
253
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:29.839
up three technique because that's with his strength and explosion.
254
00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:37.039
Who's who's beating him at three technique? He gave everybody
255
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:39.240
hell no matter what position he plays.
256
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:41.319
And I would love to.
257
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:46.079
See him and you know, Linden Bam go ahead it
258
00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:51.200
and practice. Yeah, that would be that's actually a great angle.
259
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:55.480
That's what we call a tone setter, because him and
260
00:18:55.599 --> 00:19:01.720
Max are really like that productive together. And you're gonna
261
00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:04.559
the Giants can have Tarre Wilson. He can just be
262
00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:12.839
a five technique who cares. They can have the buffalo
263
00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:17.960
dude who just managed to get twelve and a half
264
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:20.920
sacks in three years and turn that into thirty million dollars.
265
00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:25.720
I'm not even hating step A. Gilmour announced his retirement.
266
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:29.359
Take her tangent. I would argue he's the best corner
267
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:34.279
from his era. Quietly, I would argue he could. You
268
00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:35.799
could say he was better than Reeves.
269
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:41.000
I wouldn't go that far, but yeah, I guess you
270
00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:42.960
could say he's taped to tape.
271
00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:48.519
He's pretty clean. It's it's hard.
272
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:52.160
It's hard to argue with him being the best, only
273
00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:56.160
because he played in a couple of different defenses and
274
00:19:56.200 --> 00:20:00.519
he's always been really good, really solid. He won a
275
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:03.759
Defensive Player of the Year, he won the Super Bowl,
276
00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:07.119
So it's hard to say and winning this generation it's
277
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:11.720
better than him, but I don't think he stacks up
278
00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:13.960
versus some of these other all time great corners.
279
00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:16.519
But also he could travel.
280
00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:20.279
Also, you could say, this is the golden age the receiver,
281
00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:22.480
So maybe he does stachop.
282
00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:25.039
I don't know, because I don't think Schlay gets in.
283
00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:30.240
It's just like, all right, he has thirty six picks.
284
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:32.359
Like we're in the league where passion is at an
285
00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:35.559
all time high and you only have thirty six picks,
286
00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:40.319
and they're gonna show footage sometimes him getting cooked. Yeah,
287
00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:43.079
but he also played in trash defenses. I mean, Gilmore
288
00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:47.279
had good defenses most of his career, but that's the issue.
289
00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:50.400
So yeah, I don't know. It's like, we know Dion
290
00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:54.920
was the coat, you know, Charles Woodson was one of
291
00:20:54.920 --> 00:21:05.440
the goats. Well, Richard Seymour, hell, even a Joe Hayden,
292
00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:07.440
who I don't think is a Hall of Famer. But
293
00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:09.799
you know, it's like there's gonna be a lot of
294
00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:14.200
great corners who are gonna get lost. It's almost like
295
00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:17.640
they're they're like the way Namdi had all that hype.
296
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:20.079
Some of these other corners have had all that hype,
297
00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:23.119
but then because they didn't play on winning teams, nobody cares.
298
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:28.119
So it's like you're the greatest at your position because
299
00:21:28.119 --> 00:21:29.559
you're the greatest at your position.
300
00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:41.079
Mm hmmm, all right, uh, touchdown or turnover. Jamar Gibbs
301
00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:45.920
never forgetting Ready Gordon's birthday.
302
00:21:46.759 --> 00:21:55.119
That's uh, that's cool because honestly, like my my two
303
00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:57.640
nephews and my niece were all born on a Thursday,
304
00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:01.000
and I will never forget that. So yeah, sometime magical
305
00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:06.440
shit happens and birthdays just everybody has a birthday story,
306
00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:08.799
and if they don't have a birthday story, you know
307
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:10.319
somebody who has a birthday story.
308
00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:13.519
Yeah, so pretty much what happened was if you didn't
309
00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:16.559
see the viral tweet, but basically they asked Tramar Chase
310
00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:21.039
who he's rot rooting for in the final four and
311
00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:24.920
he said nobody. But fun fact, I learned Randy Orton's
312
00:22:24.920 --> 00:22:28.240
birthday when I was eight. Never forgot it since today
313
00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:30.720
Mark's that day, Happy birthday, Randy.
314
00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:33.039
Gorton, and it with a viral.
315
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:37.359
So yeah, I think it's a I think it's always
316
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:42.160
cool when athletes kind of show their personality and some
317
00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:46.119
of the defining interests that shape who they are.
318
00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:54.519
Yeah, It's like Jamal Williams would be an outstanding interview
319
00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:58.079
because I would just ask him an anime question. Would
320
00:22:58.079 --> 00:23:01.200
an anime question like how what is there like a group
321
00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:05.119
chat for like anime fans in the NFL, Like do
322
00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:08.799
y'all have like like do you have your own thing
323
00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:15.279
going on? And uh, how many? Why is you know
324
00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:20.680
Tucker the worst person in anime history? Like I have
325
00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:23.799
questions like that, Like Saske is definitely a bitch, right,
326
00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:27.720
Like like when was Saske a hero? When was he
327
00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:33.480
ever a hero? All right, go ahead and play the drop.
328
00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:43.519
I'm just playing. He didn't. He's not doing that on purpose.
329
00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:49.279
He literally doesn't remember what burden he pushed. Literally couldn't
330
00:23:49.319 --> 00:23:51.440
be doing worse right now, I'm joking at this one.
331
00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:58.119
He's not joking this podcast, Like, that wasn't a joke.
332
00:23:58.200 --> 00:24:00.119
But that was a great That was a great O
333
00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:01.000
that was.
334
00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:03.599
That was a great ad. That was a great ad lib. Yeah,
335
00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:07.079
sometimes you yes saying that fucking great. I'll give you that,
336
00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:11.279
all right, please turn my ass off.
337
00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:12.319
Move it on.
338
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:23.319
Touchdown or Turnover. Colin Kaepernick's book gets a new release
339
00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:27.440
date Ten years after taking the knee, Colin Kaepernick's book
340
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:28.759
will finally come out.
341
00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:35.480
Touchdown or Turnover? It might be one I have to read.
342
00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:42.920
September fifteenth is the day. Well, at least, O boy,
343
00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:47.880
from Green Day will be awake, No, he won't. Psych
344
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:51.160
See for those of y'all who actually thought that was right,
345
00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:55.119
you're clearly not real Green Day fans posers.
346
00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:58.799
So I guess this will be Kaepernick's fourth book. But
347
00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:03.359
I guess this new book just really kind of does
348
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:08.960
more into the specific moment all the things around it,
349
00:25:09.839 --> 00:25:13.359
since it is the ten year anniversary.
350
00:25:13.799 --> 00:25:16.039
All right, Yeah, I'm not sure how I feel.
351
00:25:16.039 --> 00:25:17.799
I guess I gotta read the fucking book and don't
352
00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:19.240
get back to you.
353
00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:25.160
Yeah, all right, Uh, touchdown or turnover.
354
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:30.319
The Cowboys are rumored to be exploring options to trade
355
00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:32.279
up potentially with the Browns.
356
00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:39.359
Touchdown or turnover? Touchdown? Browns need help. Cowboys got assets,
357
00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:43.359
they got they got people and things they can trade off.
358
00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:49.799
Yeah, I'm gonna say again taking the easy way out here.
359
00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:56.160
But uh, it's probably a first down, like I think
360
00:25:56.200 --> 00:25:56.720
in theory.
361
00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:01.480
Yeah, like you said.
362
00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:05.960
You don't get that, you don't no, no, no, no, no.
363
00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:07.920
Death is an option here. It's either or.
364
00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:16.240
I would say it's a touchdown, except for the Cowboys.
365
00:26:16.359 --> 00:26:20.960
Draft history hasn't recently, at least in the top part,
366
00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:22.240
been touchdowns.
367
00:26:24.359 --> 00:26:25.200
So yeah, I don't know.
368
00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:29.240
I feel like they could easily trade up and squander
369
00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:32.039
the pick, and then it's like, well then you really
370
00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:37.759
didn't do shit with Micah. But if they tride up
371
00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:39.680
and get a guy who can really help them that
372
00:26:39.759 --> 00:26:43.240
they think is a guy, then yeah, sure do it.
373
00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:46.400
But if you're just trading up just because you can,
374
00:26:46.680 --> 00:26:50.680
like that's that's some cowboy losing ship.
375
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:55.759
And they kind of looked up into Michael Parsons if
376
00:26:55.799 --> 00:26:59.960
you remember that he slipped for sure helped in bullshit.
377
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:06.680
Yeah all right, but yeah, I mean the other irony
378
00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:09.079
is like you pretty much gave up your heade rusher,
379
00:27:09.200 --> 00:27:11.839
and now the rumors are they're going to trade up
380
00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:12.279
to get it.
381
00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:16.000
Get one. So I mean I got the Boston College
382
00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:20.279
dude Donovan pretty good, and I brought back Sam Williams.
383
00:27:20.880 --> 00:27:24.279
Need to be trying to get a generational guy, Brian Bank.
384
00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:32.400
I got one, all right, So touchdown and turnover. Falcon
385
00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:42.440
signed uh Jami or Taylor the former Chiefs tackle Jawan Taylor.
386
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:47.000
Jawan Taylor because Kayler McGary retired after like eight years.
387
00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:49.559
Former Washington off the tackle.
388
00:27:50.279 --> 00:27:53.680
I mean, I'm gonna say it's probably a false start
389
00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:57.359
because he's always he's always lined up like three yards
390
00:27:57.359 --> 00:28:02.440
in the backfield and he always starts like way too early.
391
00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:06.240
But yeah, in theory, it's a decent move. I mean,
392
00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:09.799
he's kind of been up and down his whole career,
393
00:28:09.960 --> 00:28:14.119
but with the Chiefs, he was decent at right tackle.
394
00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:20.119
Again, minus the cheating techniques. But yeah, Florida's only good
395
00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:24.640
for making really above average right tackles an interior alignment.
396
00:28:25.960 --> 00:28:28.079
I don't I can't name all left tackle they produced
397
00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:34.359
that was like all pro, all right.
398
00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:39.119
The Texans exercise the fifth year options on both CJ.
399
00:28:39.240 --> 00:28:44.440
Stroud and Will Anderson. Obvious touchdown here, no brainer, obvious
400
00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:48.839
touchdown runner backskins take a walk.
401
00:28:49.160 --> 00:28:52.119
Well, as long as CJ doesn't put out like he
402
00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:55.400
did the last playoff game, then it's an obvious touchdown.
403
00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:59.799
I have great easy interception because that's all he was
404
00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:01.240
doing in the first half of that game.
405
00:29:01.839 --> 00:29:14.720
They did upgrades, but they did up all right. Last one.
406
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:17.960
RG three says he wants to play in the flag
407
00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:19.720
football team at the Olympics.
408
00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:24.519
Touchdown and turn over touchdown? Yeah why not? I mean,
409
00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:29.000
I thought you had a heel turn on RG three.
410
00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:31.680
I don't care what he does. Yeah, that's what I
411
00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:34.599
thought you were going to say, I still don't, but
412
00:29:34.839 --> 00:29:37.440
why not? Like I would want to see I would
413
00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:39.480
want to see vic flag. I would want to see
414
00:29:39.519 --> 00:29:42.920
Marcus Vick play flag football. I want to see like
415
00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:46.160
I want to see like, uh, Dree Archer, what's he doing?
416
00:29:46.400 --> 00:29:49.319
Michael Vicki's usually plays in the celebrity things, like I've
417
00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:51.279
seen him play flag football a few times.
418
00:29:51.440 --> 00:29:53.640
I want to see t O out there. I've seen
419
00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:56.240
him out there too. He's on the circuit as well.
420
00:29:57.119 --> 00:30:01.039
I want to see t O out there. Hell, Daryl
421
00:30:01.079 --> 00:30:03.359
Green at sixty six wants to all these guys be
422
00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:06.240
out there. Brother, I'm telling you, you're naming guys who'll
423
00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:09.720
be out there you can see. Yeah, I know games
424
00:30:09.720 --> 00:30:11.759
of these guys playing. I want to see JaMarcus out there.
425
00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:15.759
You're still singing shout out to him in that picture
426
00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:22.160
of Lanekaffing eighteen years later. All right, let's move on
427
00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:26.720
to fair or Fade First up.
428
00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:32.240
Basically, basically, Eric A bron Grit on the podcast and
429
00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:35.640
was like the Colts pretty much pushed Andrew look out
430
00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:39.240
caught out the GM Chris, But yeah, they pretty much
431
00:30:39.279 --> 00:30:40.480
gave him an ultimatum.
432
00:30:40.519 --> 00:30:43.079
But like we needn't know what you're gonna do like asap.
433
00:30:43.680 --> 00:30:45.720
Luck was like, well, if you're gonna put me on
434
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:49.519
the spot, I'm just gonna fucking retire. And then they
435
00:30:49.559 --> 00:30:52.200
pretty much just put it out the message during the game,
436
00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:56.680
at least that's what the lore says. Just kind of
437
00:30:56.720 --> 00:31:00.880
ran out the building because people were own shit out him.
438
00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:05.160
But yeah, Afrew like pretty much responded to it, said
439
00:31:05.160 --> 00:31:09.279
that he pretty much defended the Colts organization, said, you know,
440
00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:13.079
he made a decision on his own for his whole family,
441
00:31:13.119 --> 00:31:17.880
et cetera. But yeah, man, I think it's uh, I
442
00:31:17.880 --> 00:31:20.759
think it's a fae because I feel like Andrew Luck
443
00:31:20.920 --> 00:31:24.799
is a smart man and a businessman. Someone who comes
444
00:31:24.839 --> 00:31:30.480
from that sort of background isn't gonna put his company
445
00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:36.000
out there like that, especially because being an NFL weemnot
446
00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:40.960
like you're kind of married to these organizations for life,
447
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:44.519
whether you like it or not. You know, you kind
448
00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:48.480
of have to keep relations with them. But yeah, I
449
00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:50.480
don't know what you think. Is it fair or fade
450
00:31:51.400 --> 00:31:56.400
One one just kind of airing out old business like that,
451
00:31:58.160 --> 00:32:01.160
And two is it fair fait for Luck to kind
452
00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:03.160
of defend the organization as he did.
453
00:32:03.799 --> 00:32:06.519
It's fair because players have a right to talk about
454
00:32:06.720 --> 00:32:08.799
what they've been through. If you've been a victim of something,
455
00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:11.759
you have the right to speak on it. He also
456
00:32:11.920 --> 00:32:16.720
talked about that same GM, Chris ballad right, who kicked
457
00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:19.559
his back into every team because Mike Tomlin said, what
458
00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:22.599
did you do? He said, you were damn they're smoking
459
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:24.599
crack like what like? He made the team like you
460
00:32:24.759 --> 00:32:28.480
the worst person ever, and that dude's career got derailed
461
00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:32.559
because of what the shitty GM said. You were like,
462
00:32:32.799 --> 00:32:34.640
Eric Ebro wasn't that good? I was like, are you sure?
463
00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:36.759
I'm pretty sure he was a Pro Bowl tight end
464
00:32:36.799 --> 00:32:39.000
at one point. I'm pretty sure he like left the
465
00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:44.680
league and touchdown he got hold in his He a
466
00:32:44.680 --> 00:32:47.000
lot of people get hold in certain places and they
467
00:32:47.079 --> 00:32:49.400
talk about it. You're like, shut up, you're bitter, and
468
00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:52.519
then you wonder why they don't want to talk to you,
469
00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:55.839
Like they're human beings too. Not everybody makes it to
470
00:32:55.960 --> 00:33:02.039
the highest level possible. Just it's just not realistic. So, yeah,
471
00:33:02.079 --> 00:33:08.000
you should listen to people when they tell you their story. Yeah.
472
00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:09.880
So he had every right to say what he said,
473
00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:14.519
and Andrew Luck could say way more because I talked
474
00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:17.039
to journalists who were close to the situation at the
475
00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:20.440
time seemed in passing and they're like, yeah, man, his
476
00:33:20.559 --> 00:33:22.880
leg was almost about to fall off. He didn't want
477
00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:26.359
surgery like he was his body was taking hits, and
478
00:33:26.400 --> 00:33:28.279
it's like, if you don't want to take toward all, well,
479
00:33:28.319 --> 00:33:32.440
guess what. The human body is not groomed to take
480
00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:36.559
hits from three hundred and fifty pound men who run
481
00:33:36.640 --> 00:33:39.839
four seven forties. Okay, you're not supposed to get hit
482
00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:45.400
by a dude like Aaron Donald eighty fucking consecutive snaps. Okay,
483
00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:48.200
imagine if I hit you with a sledgehammer every day
484
00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:51.920
for ten years, what do you think would happen to
485
00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:57.119
your body? Pete and random part of your body every
486
00:33:57.160 --> 00:33:59.039
fucking day? Just hit you with a sledgehammer.
487
00:33:59.400 --> 00:34:04.880
Yeah, it's a great point, all right, Moving on, pretty
488
00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:12.280
much rumors surface the former uh Basically, according to the
489
00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:18.559
Athletics reporting, they cited a former Raider staffer who basically said, uh,
490
00:34:19.519 --> 00:34:20.920
Mark Davis knows nothing.
491
00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:25.719
About football, so fair and faid.
492
00:34:26.199 --> 00:34:29.880
One, Mark Davis is not knowing anything about football.
493
00:34:31.360 --> 00:34:43.360
Two. Uh two that being news, fair Faid, Everything is
494
00:34:43.400 --> 00:34:49.559
news until it isn't journalism one two that's what they
495
00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:52.960
don't teach you it's news until nobody cares.
496
00:34:56.440 --> 00:35:06.000
Yeah, here's the thing, right, I don't think Mark Davis
497
00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:08.599
has ever really tried to be his dad. He never
498
00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:12.159
really said he's his dad. Yeah, doesn't have the same aura.
499
00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:17.480
He hasn't tried to make the same posturing lobbyist moves
500
00:35:17.480 --> 00:35:21.280
that his father made. He's kind of just, I mean,
501
00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:23.920
for lack of a better word, cucked his way into
502
00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:28.519
owning one of the most successful franchises in the NFL.
503
00:35:28.679 --> 00:35:34.880
I mean pretty much his only job was to be
504
00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:36.559
the heir to the team.
505
00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:41.159
He didn't really get any hands on training like that.
506
00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:46.719
He didn't really shadow his father like that, didn't really
507
00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:52.159
play ball like that, Like it was just's he's there,
508
00:35:52.440 --> 00:35:56.159
like that's him. And the way the Raiders of Structure
509
00:35:56.199 --> 00:36:00.440
did is even if he only owns one percent, he'll
510
00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:03.599
always be the chairman of the team, or someone from
511
00:36:03.599 --> 00:36:05.599
the family will always be the chairman of the team.
512
00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:10.000
And if you look back at how the organization got
513
00:36:10.039 --> 00:36:14.679
that team, how David's family got that team, like it's
514
00:36:14.719 --> 00:36:19.920
pretty much by luck and wagering and posturing and figuring
515
00:36:19.960 --> 00:36:25.079
shit out. So to go from that to now essentially
516
00:36:25.119 --> 00:36:28.079
paying off your stadium once that's paid off, they'll be
517
00:36:28.119 --> 00:36:34.199
even worth more to I mean, and you got to
518
00:36:34.199 --> 00:36:37.280
also remember, like that was the thing that his father
519
00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:40.239
could never deliver, was a home for the Raiders. And
520
00:36:40.280 --> 00:36:42.159
he not only did that, but he did it at
521
00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:44.840
the grandest scale by opening a new market for the
522
00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:49.639
NFL and essentially building a shrine and palace.
523
00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:51.480
To everything that is the Raiders.
524
00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:55.440
So yeah, you could say, oh, he doesn't know anything
525
00:36:55.480 --> 00:36:57.800
about football and whatever.
526
00:36:58.039 --> 00:36:59.000
He thinks like a fan.
527
00:36:59.679 --> 00:37:05.960
He's hands off, But like, that's why he was able
528
00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:08.320
to create that experience because he didn't get in the
529
00:37:08.360 --> 00:37:14.199
way of Jerry Jones, essentially creating an auxiliary path for
530
00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:17.639
him to get to Vegas. You know, he was able
531
00:37:17.639 --> 00:37:20.840
to align himself with the Chargers. But and that did
532
00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:24.400
work out, but the plan b ended up being even better.
533
00:37:26.039 --> 00:37:29.360
And then you factor in, oh, well he doesn't know anything,
534
00:37:29.360 --> 00:37:33.559
his hands off. It's like that was intentional, Like he's
535
00:37:33.599 --> 00:37:35.840
always been that way. That's how he was grown. He
536
00:37:36.760 --> 00:37:39.840
was groomed to be. They didn't groom him to be
537
00:37:39.880 --> 00:37:42.599
a prodigy, they didn't groom him to know everything.
538
00:37:43.719 --> 00:37:45.840
They just groomed him to let it run and not
539
00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:47.440
fuck it up.
540
00:37:47.679 --> 00:37:50.719
And so far He's done that at an early level,
541
00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:54.519
because even now as this new money's come in, he's
542
00:37:54.519 --> 00:37:56.760
gotten out of the way. He's let Brady by his way,
543
00:37:56.800 --> 00:38:02.239
and he's let these other investors come in. And you know,
544
00:38:02.280 --> 00:38:04.199
you could say to a a fault because there was
545
00:38:04.239 --> 00:38:06.480
that whole Marcel Reese air where it was like he
546
00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:10.679
Marcel Reese just somehow, like shadow manipulated his way to
547
00:38:10.760 --> 00:38:13.760
like being number two in the organization and stuff, and
548
00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:16.519
people were like, what does Marcel Reese know about running
549
00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:20.159
organization other than having played in it? And so that
550
00:38:20.360 --> 00:38:23.639
was a whole thing in Rayer's Twitter and Raider's Lord.
551
00:38:23.719 --> 00:38:28.199
But I think after that he learned from that experience.
552
00:38:28.280 --> 00:38:30.800
And I think even with the Grooden experience, and I
553
00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:34.559
think even more so with the Pete Carroll experience, he learned, Okay,
554
00:38:34.599 --> 00:38:37.480
I can't just chase nostalgia. I can't just chase the past,
555
00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:40.400
like I can't just do whatever. And now you're seeing
556
00:38:40.519 --> 00:38:43.199
him even take an even bigger step back by not
557
00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:45.000
being in the videos and being at the front of
558
00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:48.679
the practice conferences and letting now Brady kind of step
559
00:38:48.719 --> 00:38:54.719
into that face role. So it's like, I say, all
560
00:38:54.719 --> 00:38:57.119
that long with an answer to say, like one, this
561
00:38:57.159 --> 00:39:00.400
isn't news our days has always been of.
562
00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:04.440
His hands off by design. I think he prefers it
563
00:39:04.440 --> 00:39:04.840
that way.
564
00:39:04.920 --> 00:39:06.800
I mean, you're talking about a guy who drove an
565
00:39:06.800 --> 00:39:11.360
Astrovat up until like ten years ago, so I mean
566
00:39:11.360 --> 00:39:14.000
there was a point where he literally owned the teams
567
00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:17.199
worth millions and he's driving around an Astrovat, eating at
568
00:39:17.199 --> 00:39:23.800
Hooters once a week, just like an everyday guy. To
569
00:39:23.840 --> 00:39:27.599
say what you want, but he's actually helped the team
570
00:39:27.719 --> 00:39:33.440
scale from a family business to a from not even
571
00:39:33.480 --> 00:39:37.239
a family but from a global business operated by.
572
00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:39.679
A family to now a.
573
00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:48.519
One of the most powerful organizations in the Shield, regardless.
574
00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:50.239
Of how much they've been losing.
575
00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:54.920
And that's really what makes that organization unique now at
576
00:39:54.920 --> 00:39:57.679
this point because before it was all the greatness of diversity,
577
00:39:57.760 --> 00:40:01.280
all these things. Wow, you look at the legacy of
578
00:40:01.280 --> 00:40:03.880
the Raiders of like, well, they're loved and be loved
579
00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:06.559
in spite of them having not won in twenty years.
580
00:40:08.119 --> 00:40:13.400
So yeah, he's hasn't leaning in the football side. He's
581
00:40:13.480 --> 00:40:15.639
leaning to the fans side. And guess what, it's working
582
00:40:15.679 --> 00:40:17.639
because the Raiders still have a shit ton of fans
583
00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:21.280
in spite of the shitty product of the football. And
584
00:40:21.400 --> 00:40:25.360
three now we're starting to see him change again because
585
00:40:25.519 --> 00:40:27.599
what he was doing wasn't working, so now he's taking
586
00:40:27.679 --> 00:40:31.800
even bigger step back and allowing the company to grow. So, yeah,
587
00:40:31.840 --> 00:40:34.960
say what you want about Mark Davis, it's probably fair,
588
00:40:35.480 --> 00:40:38.119
but at the end of the day, like he still
589
00:40:38.239 --> 00:40:39.079
has gotten shit.
590
00:40:39.000 --> 00:40:41.320
Done and he's shown he's willing to do more.
591
00:40:41.840 --> 00:40:43.280
To take the team where it needs to go, even
592
00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:45.039
if that means him taking a bigger step back.
593
00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:48.159
Oh and he literally turned the Las Vegas Aces into
594
00:40:48.199 --> 00:40:53.000
a dynasty, a modern day dynasty. He literally is rerapping
595
00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:56.119
and revolutionizing the WNBA and how they spend money on
596
00:40:56.159 --> 00:41:00.280
their players. You know. So he's kind of Elijahanna's soccer
597
00:41:00.360 --> 00:41:04.079
team and the hockey team. Yeah, he kind of has
598
00:41:04.119 --> 00:41:06.880
like he used to g a big picture. That's why
599
00:41:06.920 --> 00:41:08.400
I don't really why. I'm like, why do you get
600
00:41:08.400 --> 00:41:09.800
mad at the guy who has the money in the
601
00:41:09.880 --> 00:41:12.400
vision for how the football is turning out when he's
602
00:41:12.599 --> 00:41:15.320
been giving out the vision and the money and his
603
00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:18.760
trust and it's just not working. Like, well, I think,
604
00:41:18.840 --> 00:41:22.199
can't you blaming the guy He's she's dry. I'd rather
605
00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:24.599
have a dude who's gonna be willing to keep investing
606
00:41:24.960 --> 00:41:25.840
and not give up.
607
00:41:26.440 --> 00:41:28.599
Well, and I think just to tide what we're both
608
00:41:28.599 --> 00:41:33.679
saying together, it's like, that's the greatness of Mark Davis
609
00:41:33.800 --> 00:41:36.159
is not that he knows football like his father or
610
00:41:36.679 --> 00:41:39.280
has been in every position in an organization like his
611
00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:39.880
father has.
612
00:41:40.920 --> 00:41:41.079
No.
613
00:41:41.320 --> 00:41:44.880
His strength is that he hasn't done that. He's just
614
00:41:44.920 --> 00:41:47.039
been an outsider looking in. He's been a fan, he's
615
00:41:47.079 --> 00:41:50.239
been a cook like and now that he's on the
616
00:41:50.239 --> 00:41:51.199
other stop.
617
00:41:51.000 --> 00:41:53.159
Calling him a cock. That's crazy. You know, I work league.
618
00:41:53.159 --> 00:41:54.639
That's wild. I need to not say that.
619
00:41:55.000 --> 00:41:57.480
And that he's on the other side of it, he's
620
00:41:57.559 --> 00:42:00.000
able to bring that perspective and experience in a way
621
00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:05.039
that these other folks who you know, the Jones for instance, these.
622
00:42:04.920 --> 00:42:07.360
Other folks who have been groomed to run.
623
00:42:07.159 --> 00:42:10.840
These organizations and run these institutions, they don't have the
624
00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:13.360
same perspective because they just seed it from an insider.
625
00:42:13.760 --> 00:42:16.199
Mark Davis sees this as an outsider because he was
626
00:42:16.239 --> 00:42:17.639
groomed as an outsider.
627
00:42:18.400 --> 00:42:19.159
So it's like, to.
628
00:42:19.159 --> 00:42:23.000
Your point, it's like, yeah, he doesn't know everything about
629
00:42:23.000 --> 00:42:25.800
ices No's, but he understands the Joe's in the stands.
630
00:42:26.280 --> 00:42:27.440
And that's why he's.
631
00:42:27.239 --> 00:42:33.280
Been, to your point, great at stewarding sports in Las Vegas,
632
00:42:33.559 --> 00:42:37.000
because he is just a fan, right, and so it's
633
00:42:37.079 --> 00:42:41.280
like he's been able to tie together that whole sports
634
00:42:41.960 --> 00:42:46.800
fan experience in Vegas because the Raiders are, you know,
635
00:42:46.840 --> 00:42:50.599
the king of the fans in the NFL, and so
636
00:42:50.760 --> 00:42:54.360
he's been able to apply that kind of aura to
637
00:42:54.440 --> 00:42:57.920
the rest of Vegas sports. And I think that's an
638
00:42:57.960 --> 00:43:01.119
asset that people haven't talked about, or a strength that
639
00:43:01.159 --> 00:43:07.920
people don't see in his approach, in his character and personality.
640
00:43:08.480 --> 00:43:10.519
But yeah, I didn't mean for this to be such a.
641
00:43:10.480 --> 00:43:13.400
Mark Davis PR segment because yeah, we still need a
642
00:43:13.400 --> 00:43:21.039
fucking playoff game. But yeah, anyways, moving on, fair Fade
643
00:43:21.559 --> 00:43:24.880
the Bucks taking on Joey Chestnut in food competition.
644
00:43:31.159 --> 00:43:32.840
I don't know why you play your game right now.
645
00:43:32.880 --> 00:43:35.760
I have one question. You can play this ship one question.
646
00:43:35.800 --> 00:43:38.000
That's crazy, bro. Now I had to pause because I
647
00:43:38.000 --> 00:43:40.840
had to, like, I heard what you said, but.
648
00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:47.519
Now I just have a don't blame it on a ship, no, no, no.
649
00:43:47.599 --> 00:43:52.079
You know that former Florida in his game. You know
650
00:43:52.119 --> 00:43:56.159
that former Florida de tackles like Desmond whatever. We're twenty
651
00:43:56.199 --> 00:44:00.360
one like four hundred and fifteen pounds or some shit. Yeah,
652
00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:04.280
is he like going and gets chestnut crazy? Like is
653
00:44:04.280 --> 00:44:06.920
he likes from the team and like they decided to
654
00:44:06.960 --> 00:44:09.559
bring him back. You can't play football, but we'll see.
655
00:44:09.320 --> 00:44:13.320
If you can in a keke gatting contest and basically
656
00:44:13.440 --> 00:44:16.360
set the world record in another category.
657
00:44:16.719 --> 00:44:19.440
That's some I'm bored and this is Florida. Shit, that's
658
00:44:19.440 --> 00:44:21.079
the most bored and I'm in Florida. Shit.
659
00:44:21.119 --> 00:44:24.960
Yeah, that's actually a great way to categorize that.
660
00:44:24.960 --> 00:44:27.960
I could honestly be the todd of the podcast. I'm
661
00:44:28.000 --> 00:44:33.559
bored and this is into your state. Uh but yeah, man,
662
00:44:33.840 --> 00:44:34.960
I don't know. I feel like.
663
00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:38.639
I feel like they probably should have did like a
664
00:44:38.679 --> 00:44:43.440
relay situation to get chestnut, Like, hey, you guys run
665
00:44:43.840 --> 00:44:45.320
one leg of the eating Gondas.
666
00:44:45.480 --> 00:44:46.639
You guys were in the second leg.
667
00:44:46.679 --> 00:44:48.719
You guys run third leg, you guys were the fourth leg,
668
00:44:49.239 --> 00:44:50.599
and then maybe you gotta shot.
669
00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:53.239
But I think the.
670
00:44:53.280 --> 00:44:56.599
Bigger story here that people are talking about is that
671
00:44:57.679 --> 00:44:59.760
just because you're fat doesn't mean you need a lot.
672
00:45:00.960 --> 00:45:02.559
Again, thank you, that's the title.
673
00:45:02.639 --> 00:45:04.920
Now, that's the time, not trying to pr here for
674
00:45:05.000 --> 00:45:07.280
fat people, but not all of us.
675
00:45:08.599 --> 00:45:11.000
Eat a lot. Some of us just got fucked.
676
00:45:10.800 --> 00:45:15.360
Up genetics, some weird fucking diseases.
677
00:45:14.760 --> 00:45:15.960
And shipped that depression.
678
00:45:16.320 --> 00:45:20.000
I don't have that, but that's not my excuse. My
679
00:45:20.119 --> 00:45:23.440
excuse is I was born those things. My excuse was
680
00:45:23.480 --> 00:45:23.800
I was.
681
00:45:23.760 --> 00:45:25.880
Born this guy. I was literally born It was a
682
00:45:25.920 --> 00:45:27.280
bullshit or now you're.
683
00:45:27.159 --> 00:45:29.760
Really born twelve pounds? So I was literally born fat.
684
00:45:29.960 --> 00:45:32.320
Damn you're born twelve pounds. Yeah. I was literally born
685
00:45:32.360 --> 00:45:34.639
bigger than the twins next to me. Brother, you were
686
00:45:34.639 --> 00:45:37.360
born twice as heavy as me. That's crazy. Yeah, I know.
687
00:45:37.719 --> 00:45:38.599
So that's what I'm saying.
688
00:45:38.599 --> 00:45:41.400
It's like I was only if anyone could say, hey,
689
00:45:41.559 --> 00:45:44.199
fat wasn't a choice, it's me because I was literally
690
00:45:44.239 --> 00:45:47.239
born like twice the size of a normal.
691
00:45:46.960 --> 00:45:49.440
I mean, I was born to be spelt. I'm just
692
00:45:49.760 --> 00:45:54.920
big right now, I'm gonna use that go forward. But
693
00:45:55.199 --> 00:45:57.760
now he Honestly, when people say that, I'm like, how
694
00:45:57.800 --> 00:46:03.559
come junkies eat more than anybody? Fair enough? I might
695
00:46:03.599 --> 00:46:05.960
tell everybody talk about fat people, but soon you see
696
00:46:05.960 --> 00:46:11.920
somebody who's like kind of drugged out or like, yeah,
697
00:46:11.960 --> 00:46:13.920
you have great metabolism. I eat eight times a day.
698
00:46:13.960 --> 00:46:18.760
Blah blah blah. Okay, so you eat eight times a day? Yeah,
699
00:46:18.800 --> 00:46:20.360
but I work out a blue book. But you eat
700
00:46:20.400 --> 00:46:25.159
eight times a day? Okay, cool. Just I'm just saying
701
00:46:27.199 --> 00:46:30.079
that person, that fat person eats one little line of sushi,
702
00:46:30.440 --> 00:46:34.280
They're a fat piece of shit. You eat three fucking
703
00:46:34.320 --> 00:46:37.559
hot dogs in the drive has a whole lore about
704
00:46:37.599 --> 00:46:39.800
some fat dude who used to come in here, come
705
00:46:39.800 --> 00:46:42.639
into this job, and eat a bunch of sushi. Fuck
706
00:46:42.679 --> 00:46:46.719
that guy. I'm still traumatized draw much sushi. I had
707
00:46:46.760 --> 00:46:50.719
to fucking make the horror that these odds have been
708
00:46:50.760 --> 00:46:55.719
forced to. Ugh. I might be a victim. I don't
709
00:46:55.719 --> 00:46:58.119
know anyway.
710
00:46:59.480 --> 00:47:03.880
Uh yeah, all right, let's get to the rants A
711
00:47:04.000 --> 00:47:05.159
necessary toughness.
712
00:47:05.440 --> 00:47:12.440
What do you gotta say? My sister had a third baby, crazy,
713
00:47:12.920 --> 00:47:18.920
my niece Skyler. I named all my sister's kids. So
714
00:47:19.360 --> 00:47:23.760
that's the title. I named all my sister's kids, and
715
00:47:23.800 --> 00:47:27.480
they were all born on a Thursday, aka podcast day. No,
716
00:47:27.599 --> 00:47:30.320
that's too long. Just no, I was just saying that
717
00:47:30.400 --> 00:47:33.119
last part. But the title can still be the title, Like,
718
00:47:33.320 --> 00:47:37.599
you know, that could also be a title. I named
719
00:47:37.639 --> 00:47:41.320
all my sister's kids, and the title is the title whatever.
720
00:47:41.440 --> 00:47:43.960
Now I'm giving you a lot to work with because
721
00:47:43.960 --> 00:47:47.960
I'm not gonna remember half of it. Yeah, my sister
722
00:47:48.119 --> 00:47:53.760
had has three kids. And my last day NFL Network
723
00:47:54.039 --> 00:47:56.440
was March thirty first, but my first day at ESPN
724
00:47:56.559 --> 00:48:00.119
was April first, So I've been in ESPN. There's the
725
00:48:00.159 --> 00:48:11.320
employee thank you, thank you. You're far too kind. It's funny.
726
00:48:12.400 --> 00:48:14.960
I've been going through the transition this week and the
727
00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:18.760
onboarding and everything, and I have to stop myself and
728
00:48:18.800 --> 00:48:21.079
I'm like, remember the days when you were praying for
729
00:48:21.119 --> 00:48:25.159
this moment. Now it's like the moment's not too big
730
00:48:25.199 --> 00:48:30.559
for me anymore, because like when I couldn't envision it,
731
00:48:30.760 --> 00:48:32.360
I said, well, I'm gonna I'm gonna find a way
732
00:48:32.400 --> 00:48:35.199
to do it. And not only I find a way
733
00:48:35.239 --> 00:48:39.599
to get on an NFL network, but since ESPN bought
734
00:48:39.719 --> 00:48:43.440
NFL Network and absorb my job, you know, now I
735
00:48:43.519 --> 00:48:47.920
have the whole world of Disney that I can explore
736
00:48:48.000 --> 00:48:51.320
and try to see where I fit amongst the stars
737
00:48:51.360 --> 00:48:55.360
and whatnot. So for me, it's a blessing. I'm happy.
738
00:48:55.400 --> 00:48:59.880
I'm excited. I got my mom my two nephews, and
739
00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:03.840
I got them all like little Disney plush he's So
740
00:49:05.119 --> 00:49:09.199
it feels good to be able to as I level up,
741
00:49:09.239 --> 00:49:12.360
I can like give back to people who you know,
742
00:49:12.679 --> 00:49:16.920
were that from the jump. So it feels good even
743
00:49:16.920 --> 00:49:21.559
though I feel old as hell. This is a lot
744
00:49:21.639 --> 00:49:23.960
has happened this year. This has been a very busy year,
745
00:49:24.639 --> 00:49:30.039
probably one of the most busiest years of my life.
746
00:49:30.239 --> 00:49:34.239
But yeah, I'm thankful for all of it, and you know,
747
00:49:34.400 --> 00:49:37.960
just hoping for even better times ahead, even though the
748
00:49:38.000 --> 00:49:41.840
world's and a total shit show right now. And go
749
00:49:41.920 --> 00:49:45.519
see Operation Hill Mary. It's actually really dope. But it's
750
00:49:45.559 --> 00:49:48.559
also going to freak you out once you realize that
751
00:49:48.559 --> 00:49:53.239
that Moon mission that's coming back, or the that that
752
00:49:53.400 --> 00:49:55.519
National mission that's coming back, and they're going to land
753
00:49:55.599 --> 00:49:58.199
on like Saturday morning in San Diego. And when you
754
00:49:58.280 --> 00:50:00.559
watch that movie and then when you look and see
755
00:50:00.559 --> 00:50:03.800
how they're it's gonna be shot them coming back, You're
756
00:50:03.800 --> 00:50:08.840
gonna realize the parallels and be like, oh ship, this
757
00:50:08.920 --> 00:50:14.639
is all this is all kind of weird. But anyway, yeah,
758
00:50:15.280 --> 00:50:18.360
those are so started my new job at ESPN, and
759
00:50:18.559 --> 00:50:23.719
I'm not Uncle three. I've just I'm apparently now I'm
760
00:50:23.719 --> 00:50:26.239
in another demographic and people are part of unks now,
761
00:50:26.679 --> 00:50:27.920
like people, I'm.
762
00:50:27.800 --> 00:50:28.519
In the pandemic.
763
00:50:29.639 --> 00:50:30.400
That's crazy.
764
00:50:30.519 --> 00:50:31.679
I see how it does, not like.
765
00:50:34.719 --> 00:50:40.039
Ben Gay opening the door abruptly for no reason. Hey
766
00:50:40.159 --> 00:50:51.000
it's just too noisy. Hey, like three times this week.
767
00:50:51.679 --> 00:50:53.800
My grandmother sh like three times this week.
768
00:50:53.880 --> 00:50:58.360
Hey, what the fuck? I just realized I did that.
769
00:50:58.559 --> 00:51:01.960
You're transcending the levels that you can't even control. At
770
00:51:01.960 --> 00:51:04.639
this point, I don't even know what's happening. It's just happening.
771
00:51:04.800 --> 00:51:07.159
You took the unk pill. I didn't even take the.
772
00:51:08.679 --> 00:51:10.760
My sister took the matrix.
773
00:51:11.000 --> 00:51:13.559
My sister's just saying, here, took the orange pill. Now
774
00:51:13.559 --> 00:51:16.599
you're in the unk matrix. I took the orange theory pill.
775
00:51:17.960 --> 00:51:18.360
All right?
776
00:51:18.440 --> 00:51:24.480
But uh yeah, man, fuck, what was I gonna say? Yeah,
777
00:51:24.519 --> 00:51:26.920
I mean the world's not over. So that's good. That's great.
778
00:51:26.960 --> 00:51:28.639
Hopefully read his newsletter.
779
00:51:28.760 --> 00:51:32.719
Hopefully they can figure out any of all that shit
780
00:51:32.760 --> 00:51:35.639
that's going on. And Iran, it's your birthday this month.
781
00:51:36.679 --> 00:51:38.679
But yeah, outside of that, I got to see Kanye
782
00:51:38.760 --> 00:51:41.199
last week at so Far, which was a great time
783
00:51:41.239 --> 00:51:43.639
where I guess, yeah, I saw yeah that so Far
784
00:51:43.800 --> 00:51:48.119
last week outside of him fat shaming and everyone by
785
00:51:48.199 --> 00:51:52.719
not having two X, it was a great time. I
786
00:51:52.880 --> 00:51:55.639
really wasn't expecting him to perform any of his old songs.
787
00:51:55.679 --> 00:51:58.800
I was expecting him to just perform the new album
788
00:51:58.960 --> 00:52:00.000
and maybe a couple of.
789
00:52:00.079 --> 00:52:03.159
Songs off the last two albums since he changed his
790
00:52:03.239 --> 00:52:05.679
name to Ya. I was not expecting him to play
791
00:52:05.719 --> 00:52:10.280
stuff from Graduation or Yesus or The Life of Pablo,
792
00:52:11.440 --> 00:52:13.400
but he had. He played a lot of that, and
793
00:52:13.480 --> 00:52:16.480
he also sprinkled in some of the Vultures Tuning Donna stuff,
794
00:52:17.119 --> 00:52:19.639
which was cool. But all in all, it was just
795
00:52:19.639 --> 00:52:22.159
a great time. I mean, seeing him on top of
796
00:52:22.199 --> 00:52:25.519
the world. It felt good because, yeah, I was kind
797
00:52:25.519 --> 00:52:27.000
of glad I wasn't in the pit looking up the
798
00:52:27.039 --> 00:52:33.079
whole time. And also I was glad. I was just
799
00:52:33.119 --> 00:52:38.519
glad because it's it's like Kanye is one of those
800
00:52:38.599 --> 00:52:42.719
artists that you grew up with. I remember. Calls Dropout
801
00:52:42.800 --> 00:52:45.960
was really my first CD I ever bought, just bought
802
00:52:45.960 --> 00:52:49.960
it by coincidence. I had got birthday money and I
803
00:52:50.199 --> 00:52:52.840
had whatever two hundred bucks and that was enough to
804
00:52:52.840 --> 00:52:55.280
get a good walkman that I wanted with a fucking
805
00:52:55.400 --> 00:52:57.559
high ass skip rate, like two minutes skip rate or
806
00:52:57.599 --> 00:52:59.079
whatever the fuck it was at the time.
807
00:53:00.360 --> 00:53:01.000
And then.
808
00:53:02.519 --> 00:53:06.199
You know, CD which just Kanye West was just at
809
00:53:06.199 --> 00:53:09.519
the end of the fucking kiosk and described it and
810
00:53:10.679 --> 00:53:14.679
reshless history, like listen to every fucking song on that
811
00:53:14.719 --> 00:53:20.719
didn't skip through any of it, like all twenty one tracks,
812
00:53:21.400 --> 00:53:24.840
and eventually migrated that over to the iPod and.
813
00:53:26.840 --> 00:53:27.599
Put out more.
814
00:53:27.519 --> 00:53:30.920
Music and the music changed. The platform has changed, but
815
00:53:32.599 --> 00:53:36.960
message changed, the life experience changed.
816
00:53:36.679 --> 00:53:36.840
But.
817
00:53:38.280 --> 00:53:40.719
Just kind of all grew together and that concert was
818
00:53:40.760 --> 00:53:44.440
just kind of one of those moments such as, after
819
00:53:44.960 --> 00:53:49.239
all you've seen Kanye go through, it's just like it's
820
00:53:49.280 --> 00:53:52.360
like that family member that crashes out and it's like
821
00:53:54.480 --> 00:53:57.280
comes back and it's like he's not the same, but
822
00:53:57.559 --> 00:53:59.760
of course he's not the same, like you just witnesses
823
00:53:59.840 --> 00:54:00.840
do crash out.
824
00:54:00.719 --> 00:54:03.639
For a decade, like what did you expect? But the
825
00:54:03.679 --> 00:54:06.559
fact that he's just like even is there is.
826
00:54:06.559 --> 00:54:09.960
Like a blessing, Like I don't know, you're just glad
827
00:54:10.000 --> 00:54:14.519
to see him not doing bad, if that makes sense.
828
00:54:15.480 --> 00:54:17.280
And then the fact that you're there singing at one
829
00:54:17.320 --> 00:54:20.519
hundred thousand people like that just makes it a great
830
00:54:20.559 --> 00:54:24.360
memory and experience that you're always gonna remember, never forget.
831
00:54:25.239 --> 00:54:27.039
So shout out to my girlfrid hooking me up for
832
00:54:27.159 --> 00:54:32.400
my early birthday present. That was dope. And uh yeah.
833
00:54:32.400 --> 00:54:36.840
Outside of that, man, I went to Vegas last or
834
00:54:36.880 --> 00:54:40.760
two weeks ago for a security conference, which was a
835
00:54:40.760 --> 00:54:45.480
cool experience, just seeing kind of how big security's gotten.
836
00:54:45.719 --> 00:54:49.880
Like just talking to folks, they're like, yeah, a decade ago,
837
00:54:49.960 --> 00:54:53.719
our show was just about you know, gates and security systems,
838
00:54:54.239 --> 00:54:56.400
and it was like, hey, someone launched.
839
00:54:56.079 --> 00:55:01.639
A new way to you know, open your front door,
840
00:55:01.719 --> 00:55:04.079
and that was kind of the big thing. And now
841
00:55:04.119 --> 00:55:04.639
it's like.
842
00:55:06.159 --> 00:55:11.119
We got defense companies here, we got SaaS companies, software companies,
843
00:55:11.239 --> 00:55:15.639
you know, cybersecurity. There's all kinds of different ways to
844
00:55:15.679 --> 00:55:18.599
look at security in the way companies are prioritizing it.
845
00:55:19.679 --> 00:55:24.039
So it was just interesting to see that in the flesh.
846
00:55:24.840 --> 00:55:28.599
And yeah, on side of that, Touchdowns and Tangents TD's
847
00:55:28.679 --> 00:55:32.639
underscore Tangents on Twitter and Instagram, Touchdowns at tangents dot com.
848
00:55:33.079 --> 00:55:35.039
We're out. Peace. Peace,
