Here's a pre show meeting.

Speaker 3 (01:38):

Speaker 1 (01:41):
So Tuch says to me, you know, we always talk
about movies and different things, and I have recommendations for
him and he gives me recommendations and everything. And it
works out really well because I see stuff that I
would never watch. What's the one you told me? What's
the one with the Paris catacombs?

Speaker 3 (01:53):
That was just crazy? Below? Yeah so good so above?

Speaker 1 (02:00):
So no no, no, no, no, that that's different. That's
late at night on a different network. It's so good

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yes, right, that was a movie.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Yes, it's it's the Catacombs in Paris, and it's it's
a crazy movie. It's one of those where you laughing,
Oh my god, this movie is crazy.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Uh, but touches me.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Hey, I got a question for you, I said, Okay,
he goes, I'm about twenty five minutes in. Uh, you know,
And and I want to know is shaw Shank Redemption
a good movie? Because I tell you, I don't think
he killed his wife. I don't think that happened. How
does that like, like, is it not to be a
good movie?

Speaker 5 (02:35):
Please?

Speaker 3 (02:35):
All right?

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Alex is thirty years old, and he said he's watching
Shot Shank Redemption for the first Yes, not not that,
but asking if it's a good movie, Like like you've
like you've never thought you watch stuff like as above
so below. You've never had one conversation about Shawshank Redemption.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
No with anybody really.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
No, it's never recommended it because.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
It's never on television.

Speaker 4 (02:58):
I don't like that.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
It's it's never on TV. You never get to see it.
They never put it on you but like five years, yeah,
but it's on TV all the time.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
I don't watch TV like that.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Yes, yeah, how do you watch TV?

Speaker 4 (03:12):
It's like, oh, randomly pick a movie streaming.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Uh huh, oh, okay, you don't so you don't watch
Joe Turn on television. You never had any desire to
watch Shaws four?

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Now?

Speaker 4 (03:20):
Really, no one, Jason, this sounds crazy. No one has
ever said, hey, Alex, you should watch Shashank Redemption?

Speaker 1 (03:26):
All right, Well, first of all, it's it's it's kind
of implied that everybody should watch it.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
There's that. Secondly, how did you wind up watching it? Then?

Speaker 4 (03:34):
Did you?

Speaker 3 (03:34):
Did they get recommended for you? Watch it? Oh? This Shawshank,
this looks like it might be pretty good. Oh.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
Like I was on a Christopher Nolan spree because every
movie you said sucked is incredible. And so I found
and not having any more movies to watch, and I
saw Shawshank Redemption. I was like, yo, justin have you
seen this? And he looked at me and he's like,
what are you asking me? I was like, have you
seen shaw Shank Redemption? He's like, stop messing with me?

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Okay, I never said all I'm still waiting for Ashton
Kutcher to the bushes.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
Yeah, at some point he's.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
Gonna come out and go ah gotcha.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
And bring it back? Punked. I never said all of
Christopher Nolan's movies stink.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
Yes you did.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
The first half of a lot of his movies are good,
and then they stink.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
Mike, you were here for it.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Am I get it right? He trashed his entire career.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
But the first half of his movies are generally very good,
and then the second half they stink because you don't
understand very long. I understand they're too long, and they
get into these esoteric things. Are like, what what conversation
of these characters even having right now?

Speaker 4 (04:32):
What?

Speaker 3 (04:33):
What?

Speaker 1 (04:33):
What are they even talking about? It's not anything to
do with the movie. That's what Christopher Nolan does.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
Jason, it's time. You can do anything with time and traveling.
That's why it's so brilliant.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
Oh you can, really, Yes, you go back in time.
You can.

Speaker 4 (04:47):
I can't, but he can.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
Oh, I thought.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
You about making a movie. I can do whatever the
hell I want about the story.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
How I do? I thought? Tycher meant like in real
life he figured out how.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
He might be able to do that. He was just
on a fast. I don't know what kind of worlds
he unwrapped.

Speaker 4 (05:02):
I came back just enjoy you, guys.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
I saw the future man.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
Awesome, Jason, just because you like bun berger and lettuce
does not make it a good burger. Okay, let's sometimes
you need burgers with sauce and steads.

Speaker 5 (05:15):
No, what makes a good burger for Jason is cheese.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Yeah, you gotta have cheese on it. I mean, why
am I having? It doesn't have anything?

Speaker 5 (05:20):
It can be moving as long as I.

Speaker 6 (05:21):
Was gonna say, it could have any version of meat
like product. As long as there's cheese.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
You got cheese on it doesn't matter. No, but let's
go back. Let's go back to this Shawshank redemption thing. So,
so as someone who now I think this is fun.
Because every single person listening has seen this movie, I
want to say, so, what do you think so far?

Speaker 3 (05:38):
Your twenty What are you up to in the movie?

Speaker 4 (05:41):
So, I'm up to the part where Morgan Freeman basically
is introducing him to the life there and unfortunately the
sisters are making his life kind of bad.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
In the institution. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
Boiler Alert, they're not sisters.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
Yeah you're up to bogs Yeah yeah, the box party.

Speaker 5 (05:54):
But I'll say this had a good run box.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
Wait what he means I like Boggs?

Speaker 3 (06:03):
What do you mean you like Boggs?

Speaker 1 (06:05):
What do you You must have not gotten up to
the part he hasn't gotten the bogs.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Yeah you might.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
What if I want to tell you he has and
he still likes him, then would come true and we
have a whole other problem.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
That's how Yeah, that's a whole thing, man.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
No, Jason, I just think off of the beginning scene
where it shows him on trial for the quote unquote
murder of his wife and her mistresses or whatever. I
don't think he did it. The reason why is watching
him in prison. He's just a very wholesome, good hearted
and an intellectual mind that would know what would happen
if he did it. Does that make sense?

Speaker 3 (06:37):
No, it does.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
And when when they introduced the One Armed Man later on,
he's going to be the one that gets killed as
they're gonna go after him. Watch Frederick Sykes is his name?
What we're making out be with the gorgeous we're making it.
Tommy Lee Jones comes in, bust, Tim Robbins out of prison.
They go after the One Armed Man. They catch him
in Chicago of all places. Right, it's insane. Oh, my

(06:59):
good Smith's you forgot to tell him you know, he's
really excited. He loves Blade, so he'll be very excited
when Wesley Snipe shows him.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Wesley Studche plays a vampire he shows up to Yeah yeah,
oh yeah, he's great, he's great.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
Yeah, it's real, it's real. It's really cool. Man. Tell you.
They jump time a lot.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
They go from the you know, the fifties, they jump
ahead to like the year twenty fifty.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
Oh, I mean yeah, yeah, it's great.

Speaker 4 (07:22):
Had a theory. I thought the warden was a vampire.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Okay, okay, Bob Dunton, Yeah, okay, because.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
He always talks about no Lord's name in vain, like
vampires don't like the lord maybe.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Sure, sure yeah, or you know, being religious either one
m vampires. So let me ask you this now, let's
finish here. Uh so, how do you think this movie unfolds?
Just give me your guess what you think the plot
is the rest.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Of the movie.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
I have a feeling it's just going to follow their
life in prison and show you exactly how he gets
through it, how he adapts to it. And I have
a theory. I do believe somewhere along the way, I'm
gonna find out that he never did do it, but
he feels subconsciously because of what happened, he was a
part of it or something. So he serves his time.
We get to see the end of his life and
him and Red, which is Morgan Freeman. I know that one.

(08:05):
By the way, it's pretty cool. I think there's gonna
be some kind of plot twist where at the end
he gets found innocent, but it's already too late because
he's been institutionalized for like forty years or something. That's
my guess.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
Interesting, Okay, okay, very good. All right.

Speaker 5 (08:19):
If I were to tell you Brooks actually turns into
the hul cuts all out, that's impressive.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
Well, leans into his bird. We can make if we
can make Harrison Ford the Hulk. I mean, he's in
his eighties, and you can make Brooks into the Hulk.
I think that can easily happen.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
But by the way, Jason, why were court cases so
bad back then?

Speaker 3 (08:39):
What do you mean?

Speaker 4 (08:39):
Why were they They didn't even like really look into evidence.
They just said, oh, you were there, you were drinking,
you had a gun, you must have done it.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
Yeah, no, you didn't need to back. It was really easy.
It was really easy.

Speaker 6 (08:47):
It seemed pretty clean cut, right.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
I mean some.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
People would just walk in and the judge would say,
you look really guilty, man, you have an RG style.
What's that your honor resting guilty face? And he would
say fifteen years take him away, and that's how you're
kidding me.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
Oh yeah. Sometimes even have lawyers.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Back then, it was just people in the family that
they thought were smart that.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Would show up and try to say things.

Speaker 6 (09:08):
Oh yeah, it's what lawyers do. When you go and
you're potentially going to be on a jury. They take
one look at you, maybe ask you one question, and
you're either in or out right there.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Yeah, I mean, look, law changed forever with a few
good men.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Then we started getting into okay, there's got to be
research and and and performance in court and what you
know you can and can't do, and bax to your
clients so they don't tell you they weren't actually in
the barracks. When when Kendrick came in to order the code, right,
you know, certain things like oh okay, now I know
how I need to act as a lawyer. And law
since then, since the mid nineties, all through the roof man,

(09:42):
what a great.

Speaker 4 (09:42):
Profession, I will say, this, Mike, he is leaving a
very important detail out about that whole conversation I had
with him. Can I tell you, Mike? Yeah, please okay,
I asked him, and I said, please, Jason, do not
judge me. I said, is Shaw shank a good movie?
And he starts laughing, laughing in my face.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
He's like, what a movie? Not figured that out? Is
one of the best films of the last.

Speaker 4 (10:03):
I don't know if I've ever seen it.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
I don't know that because because you're watching so below
we're above in the middle or whatever, you're watching movies
like that, you got to watch something like this.

Speaker 4 (10:13):
I'm just asking you next time, Mike, because he belittled me.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
This is on everyone's well because first I thought it
was a joke that you were asking a joke. Shaka Goodes,
it's Shaw shakh good But I don't know, Hey, this
is godfather Is that?

Speaker 3 (10:27):
Is it? Godfathers?

Speaker 6 (10:28):
That?

Speaker 3 (10:30):
It's come on.

Speaker 6 (10:31):
We've been around this this life long enough to realize
that people you meet have very large blind spots.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
Sure these TV music for sure that you just you
have no idea, right, you have some.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Tight shirt tip and he does anime. I'm sure, I'm
sure you've seen some kind of anime version of Shawshank
Redemption before. I'm sure that's happened.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
Well, I mean there is one called Tokyo Revengers. It's
kind of a line with this one.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
Okay, Revengers. Is that a word? Revenge is a real word?

Speaker 6 (11:02):
Yeah, and you make it up just like like aren't
all words made up like Kenny fish.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
Called Wanda revenge? Revenge revenge? Okay? Uh so, hey, let.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Let let me know at as you uh as you
perceive what you what you think about the movie. I
want I want to update every twenty five minutes that
you watch of the film. Okay, okay, so the next
one when you get to be about an hour in,
let me let me know what you're thinking of Okay.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
I do have a prediction. I don't think the sisters
are a faith or a what like a faith like religious?

Speaker 1 (11:35):
Oh okay, all right, okay, that's a that's a that's
a good prediction.

Speaker 4 (11:39):
Okay, all right.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
They right followed their own style things. Oh.

Speaker 6 (11:44):
Revenger twenty twenty three, Japanese original anime television series.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
Yes.

Speaker 6 (11:50):
It follows a samurai named Riiso Kuimi Karema who crosses
paths with hit men known as Revengers after being betrayed
by his superiors.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
So good, I think that was made up.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
That's a that's like a recently made up ward and
it's like, Hey, new words of the Dictionary in twenty
twenty four include selfie and.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
You know, stuff like that. Yeah, I think that that's mean.

Speaker 6 (12:14):
The Revengers nineteen seventy two. After a rancher's family is
massacred by a gang of outlaws, he assembles a mean
team of convicts as his UH crew to pursue the killers.
That sounds like an AI plot. Hey, AI, make up

Maybe he asked his girlfriend. She's twenty four. Hey, what
a college kids like and it's not buy him free
food though. Lo okay, great, so he's figured out the
whole free food thing. I would have delivered palettes of ramen.

you don't want to do that.

think I'm getting it from the rat. I'm gonna catch
one of my Rocky and when when you think I'm
gonna get I'm gonna catch the rat. I'm not fast enough.
That's not fantastic. I'm not twenty.

Speaker 6 (18:46):
Instead of a chicken like Rocky, Jason's got to chase
down a rat.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
Now, if you put me in like an octagon with
a rat and the rat can't escape.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
I will probably get the cheese from it.

Speaker 6 (18:57):
But you know what, though, if we're on site for
the Super Bowl next year, you could.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
Try to make that happen.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Maybe as everybody looks up where yes, sure, sure, sure
there's no place the rat can get out, because I'll
get the cheese from But if the rat can get.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
Out, I'm not getting the cheese, man, I'm not. I
mean maybe. I mean when I was quick with that
quick twitch muscles in my twenties, I don't know if I'm.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
Getting Yeah, but now you're lean and mean again. Yeah,
but that but still the stamming is a thing.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
Man. Man, I'm in my fifties and this rat is.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
Probably you know, three months old and already as smart
as I am, so I mean, and can get through.
It has no backbone and can get through anywhere. I mean,
rots are gonna do that? Man, It's yeah, you get
science and science and time. Man, you know, hey, like,
what what are they saying?

Speaker 3 (19:40):
Shawshaik? Right? Geology the study of pressure and time? Right,
pressure in time.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
I'm not going to get cheese from a rat unless
there's no way the rat can get out, all right? Well,
then there you go. That's that's fine to grow on.
You gave up a full admission to America about your
lack of stamina.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
How much can you run around trying to chase a rat?
How much? Why can I get after a while? You can?
No way? Are you kidding?

Speaker 1 (20:04):
You have no balance? I can just go and you
would fall over your balance. I've seen it. Your balance
is tough. You do you cannot balance? You have no
balance left.

Speaker 3 (20:13):
I don't even know what to do. I'm shirtching for
a new balance. Just just what next week?

Speaker 1 (20:18):
Next week? You know, when you get past. When you
get past COVID, you come back in, I'm just gonna
walk up to you and just push you on your
shoulder and you're gonna fall over, and I'm.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
Gonna sow all I did was touch you.

Speaker 6 (20:26):
You have no bad Hey, weeble's wobble.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
We do not fall down.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
So while Bill Belichick is taking care of North Carolina
fraternities tomorrow, a guy who got taken care of today,
who had the best day in sports without a doubt,
is Arch Manning all right, announce an NIL deal with
Red Bull. His nil valuation now rises to over six
and a half million dollars. Okay, this is ni Arch

(20:58):
Manning hasn't even played a little bit this past year.
Playing a little bit for quinn Ewers got his feet wet.
But now he comes in. He's got a six and
a half million dollar nil valuation after signing with Red Bull,
and he is the odds on favorite today to win
the Heisman Trophy. Get ready for arch madness and all
these crazy things we're gonna see in the fall with Texas.

(21:21):
But where it's good news for him today, I'm telling
you this is unbelievable news for us because he is
going to usher in the new golden era of college
football by himself.

Speaker 3 (21:35):
Right, what do we say about college sports when? When? Why?

Speaker 1 (21:38):
Why is it more of a regionalized situation? Yes, when
the playoffs come, we're all watching, all paying attention. That
coast to coast superstar generally.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
Is not there.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
We're very lucky when we get a Tim Tebow right
to come in. Oh my good, look at timpt everybody
wants to see him, see him play whatever whatever it is.
Andrew luck to an extent, but generally we don't have
that coast to coast superstar. The closest we've come to
anything has been Colorado the beginning of last year, not
this past year, but last year when Dion took over.

(22:09):
They're winning in September and they were everywhere, Like, that's
the closest that college football has come to a huge
national grabby retention story in a long time, in almost
twenty years, right, really since te Baw left Florida and
that petered out after a month because Colorado lost a
couple of games, and okay, were they really really interesting? Yes,
really one of the biggest stories in college football. Absolutely,

(22:30):
But that was a moment in time. Arch Manning is
going to give us this golden era because Texas is
going to be on TV every single week. The blood,
the Manning blood lines. Everybody wants to see how he plays.
He's got a ridiculous amount of game. He's more athletic
than and then any Manning that came before him. You know,
either Eli or Peyton or Cupper, you know whoever you to,

(22:51):
than any of his relatives, any of his uncles. You
watch video of him dunking a basketball and win milling
it and you've already seen how fast he is.

Speaker 3 (22:59):
He is going to cat.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
The attention of the country and Texas is going to
be the number one most popular team in college football
next year. They'll be number one when they start the season.
Most likely, he will be on television every week. And
because of the Manning bloodlines, there's just something about it
that cuts through, and it's going to cut through to
all of us. What Arch Manning does is going to

(23:21):
be a weekly conversation, a weekly debate, weekly television. What
are we watching on Saturday? I'm watching my team and
I'm watching Texas. That's I'm watching Arch Manning. And when
you combine this with the new playoff, which really took
off this year. Everybody really liked it.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
You so, I know.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
There's some tweaks they will do to it, you know,
with the seedings and maybe they end the season a
little bit earlier. But you know, there's some tweaks that
they'll go through it. But with the new playoff that
everybody loves, and now most teams in big conferences feel, hey,
if we have a big year, we have a shot
at the playoff. Right if we're a two loss team
near the end of the year, we can get in.
Like this is open to us. The combination of that

(24:00):
and Arch Manning, I mean, we are going to hit
a new golden era of college football and it's going
to start this fall with arch Manning.

Speaker 6 (24:08):
Yeah, I think one of the big points going back to,
you know, you bringing in Tebow and some of the
legends that we've had through time. The compartmentalization, as we
often joked about, you know, it's Thursday night football in
the NFL when it was Titans and Jaguars right before
people really and they fought for better scheduling and changing out.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
How this process goes is more.

Speaker 6 (24:34):
Entities got to the table for programming for college I
think the twelve team playoff. Maybe we're a little invested
earlier in a year on teams than we were, and
Colorado being maybe the litmus test of that to where
we tracked Sanders and Hunter and it wasn't immediately about

(24:56):
where they projected to go to an NFL draft, suret
became that, right, That's part of the organic process of
it with Arch Manning.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
It's not about the NFL.

Speaker 6 (25:06):
It's all right, what do we see in it from
you know, his family, right, what do we see from
from Grandpa? And what do we see from the uncles
and dad?

Speaker 1 (25:17):
That maybe translate and then eventually we'll start arguing about
where he should be drafted the following year, because that's
at this point we've got nothing. We've got no proof
of concept, which is delicious theater for everybody.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
Right, the expectations.

Speaker 6 (25:30):
Not only do you get a little him, you get
the extra McConaughey and Glenn Powell that go with it
to drink every time they're shown on camera, or complain
like you do with Taylor Swift.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
Whatever.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
Bear with the Bears, No no, no Bears, Bears, No
no no Bears.

Speaker 3 (25:45):
Bears, Bears, Bears, Oh the Bears, Bears has become.

Speaker 6 (25:52):
An exception kind of thing, you know, your favorite director.
If I were to get a Bears Didkin like sweater,
I can't watching that commerce.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
It's it's McConaughey in the sweater.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
I want like a four minute version of that commercial,
Like thirty seconds is not enough. I want to be
I want to be a movie, you know know, I
want four minutes of because I don't know what How
much should they buy for the Super Bowl? I don't
I don't know how this is. Is Uber eats for
some reasons? Is Uber Eats coming on January eighth? It's like,
how is him dressed up as Mike Dick could doing.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
The Bears Bears? Ah, the Bears Bears, Oh oh, Bears Bears. All.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
You don't know, this might be a mini movie over
the course of the Super Bowl. I don't know how
many ads did they buy. I want a quarter.

Speaker 3 (26:34):
There's four parts.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
I mean, I want I want four minutes of that
comm just him doing that, chewing the gum and everything
and just making his faces in me.

Speaker 6 (26:45):
You definitely get it all that thirty two minutes, thirty
million dollars worth, there's no question that.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
But I I'm sorry I derailed your point.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
But anytime you say McConaughey, now, I don't think all right,
all right, all right. I don't think Dallas Buyers Club.
I don't think true detective. I think Bears, not Bears.
I don't even think of that Lincoln commercial where he's
like rolling up a booger in his hand while he's
driving and kind I'm excited to driving Lincoln.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
This is great.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
No, I just get the Bears, Bears, Bears.

Speaker 3 (27:13):
That's all I think of with it. There's nothing else there, buddy,
I'm sing.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
I'm just waiting to see if you had one more
line for one more Bears from your But not just that,
the point being that you just have maybe a different
age of college to where we'll appreciate it for it
being college football again and watching these guys develop because
they financially they're they're set.

Speaker 6 (27:38):
Yes, they're gonna bounce from school to school and take opportunities.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (27:42):
There's a lot of curiosity at Ryan Day clapping back
on columns and theories about you know, him losing some
of his players. Jeremiah Smith only a freshman. He can
go make a ton of money in nil.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
At Texas or sitting catching balls from arch mannic or
going somewhere else.

Speaker 6 (27:59):
Right, There's there's a lot that can be done there.
So we'll watch that part of it, but we're investing,
i think again, back into the players, and as bastardized
as college football has been, maybe from a viewing standpoint,
we get back to some of the purity of watching
these kids actually grow into players, as opposed to the

(28:20):
commoditization of immediately putting them on an NFL team. As
rad as that sounds.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
Yeah, But the thing I just don't know that those
days are never coming back, and is always with college football.
It's just going to be a new normal, right, And
we hit a new normal every five minutes, So I'm
not saying, hey, if you don't like this normal, we
get the new new normal another five minutes, oh ten
minutes around.

Speaker 3 (28:42):
We get a new new new normal, and then the
new But but for this, like this, like what is
college football?

Speaker 1 (28:47):
This era is so undefined and there's so much questions
over which way does the future go, what happens now?

Speaker 3 (28:55):
Where are we going?

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Are we gonna have are we still gonna have the
same conferences in the next five years we have?

Speaker 3 (29:00):
Now?

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Is there gonna be levels of playoffs now where the
Big ten and the SEC are gonna have their own
playoff and everybody else has has a second tier playoff,
right are we We're gonna see some kind of commissioner
come in, Like there's so much where we don't know where.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
At least I know for this.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Era of what I know we can stand for that
is the new playoff works. It's more teams in, we're
never going back. It's embraced, it's.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
Debated, it's a huge hit.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
And now you have that national superstar that's going to
tie everything together. And we're not gonna have a national
superstar every year, but for the next year or two, man,
I'll tell you Arch Manning is gonna be the I
mean as big as college football. Much as we watch
college football with Tim Tebow and Florida and everything he
did was a headline right, very few guys like that.

(29:47):
He's the first guy in fifteen years that is going
to bring everybody together with an interest level in college
football in a Star team. Texas will be the star team,
heritage team as well. McConaughey is gonna be just Ditka
on the sideline, going Arch Arch to Arch arch arch
I really we are getting ready for what is going
to be the best next couple of years of college

(30:09):
football has seen in quite a long time. And when
we have this big national superstar, he's gonna do it.

(33:34):
is still a ton of controversy over the All Star
Game starters, the All Star Game reserves, and the All
Star Game snubs. But one NBA superstars come up with
an idea that absolutely the NBA's got to do and
they should do it right now.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
What is it that's next? Jason and Mike Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Jason Smith's

Speaker 3 (34:19):
This is more than a game. Be there.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon, live from the Tirack dot Com studios.
And before we get into a great idea for the NBA,
they have to do now. Uh, let let's just have
a moment for the Pistons Isaiah Stewart, who was suspended
from tonight's game for a flagrant foul against the Pacers. Yeah,

(34:49):
and uh miss tonight's game, which is a big win, right, No,
sat did not happen.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
That did not happen.

Speaker 4 (34:57):
I okay, we got arrested.

Speaker 3 (34:59):
I'm gonna go.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
So he didn't play in tonight's game, which was his
bobblehead night. Yea, So fans got to come to the
game tonight and walk away with his bobblehead without seeing
Isaiah Stewart suspended for his bobblehead. Can't the NBA just
say oh, Okay, you know what, Sorry about that?

Speaker 3 (35:22):
You could be suspended the next game, like I can't.
Can't you just do that? Say hey sorry? That kind
of sucks.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
And it's not like the guy got suspended because he
did something completely illegal, like okay, you got it, you know,
I mean, not like he lit his team on fire
like Jimmy Butler, did you know, like he's oh, a
flagrant foul. Oh it's your Bobblehead. Yeah, I will let
you play.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
You can be suspended the next night. That's not a
big deal.

Speaker 6 (35:43):
Well, I mean, look, unfortunately, it was a dopey move
in the game. You've obviously been watched and you've played,
let's just say, skirting the rules in terms of your
physicality at times, and here you you crossed that line
that resulted in a suspension.

Speaker 3 (36:02):
If nothing else, you got to relax on Bobblehead night.

Speaker 6 (36:05):
You already did the work to earn a Bobblehead night.

Speaker 3 (36:08):
But you want Dodger Man, No, tell what you want.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
You want to play in your Bobblehead night, like you're
coming out here and it's better than Hey, you got traded,
and then the Bobblehead nights two nights. You know, two
days away or a week away, that is all the time. Yeah,
well that's something you can't do anything about. You can't
just wait for that.

Speaker 6 (36:25):
You shouldn't have showed this guy like a jackass and
gotten himself suspended.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
Okay, it's it's still it's it's one. Get you go.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
Look, we don't want to take your bobblehead night away
from you. Then they did, people still got their bobble head. Well, no,
we took you out of the Bobblehead night because you
couldn't enjoy it, because you couldn't even be at the arena,
because you were just gotta.

Speaker 3 (36:42):
Be punishment somehow.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
Wow, you really did again. Let's let the punishment fit
the crime here a little bit. This was okay, all right,
flagrant foul. Okay, then we see flagrant foul happens all
the time. Okay, let's move on. Let's let the guy
go for his bobblehead. You could do that, It's okay.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
Wow, you boy, you're just so hollerant.

Speaker 6 (37:00):
And boy he get away with all sorts of stuff, Zoe,
he must really get away with a lot of stuff.

Speaker 1 (37:05):
Oh no, I know, I just I just deal with
things realistically, unlike the Iron hand that you probably deal
with in Europe.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
You would be a great teacher, they would go.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
Boy, I like, mister Harmon, Why because I feel like
he's teaching like it's the nineteen twenties.

Speaker 3 (37:18):
He's got a big ruler that he's out.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
He's always slamming on the on the desk, He's threatening
to hit people with it. He wants to spank people
like they did one hundred years ago. Like I like,
I think that's.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
One hundred years ago.

Speaker 6 (37:29):
I'm product of the Catholic school System of Chicago.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
My grade school no longer exists.

Speaker 6 (37:36):
By the way, I'll let you go all jump to
conclusions as to why, Yeah, we're not.

Speaker 1 (37:41):
Here harming because you blew it. We had to close
this school because of you. And it's all your fault.
You and your brothers, it's all their fault. All this
equipment went missing and we had whoa, whoa, whoa bankrupt.

Speaker 6 (37:54):
We never took any flass beakers or Bunsen burners.

Speaker 3 (37:59):
What about other stuff? Well, I just thought i'd.

Speaker 6 (38:02):
Start there because then you would either call me Walter
White or come up with some snarky, you know name
for me.

Speaker 3 (38:10):
There and and and I was giving you that out
all right. Instead you're like, well, what else was on
the listener?

Speaker 6 (38:16):
Things you didn't basically what you only took didn't take
those three things. That means you climbed in and took
everything else.

Speaker 1 (38:23):
Yeah, you're basically saying, Oh, I didn't take stuff from
the science lab. What about other departments? Oh I can't
talk about that, but the science lab because I didn't
like science.

Speaker 3 (38:31):
I didn't go to class at all. I hated it.
So yeah, I didn't take anything from there. I didn't
take any buns and I just thought sell them on.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
U.

Speaker 3 (38:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
Piston's game so infected like four people and we're talking
about Oh, come on man, wow, that's not Yeah, but
Detroit people in Detroit had to turn to something else
and they need to lean into some other frivolity while
they wait for the NC double A and Brent Beelama
to come at their NC double A title and take
it away.

Speaker 5 (39:02):
There's more people off the shelter in Detroit tonight.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
Wow, there's more people eating muskrat dinners in Detroit. All right,
So it is Friday night, It's big muskrat dinner kind
of night. To an NFL star, to an NBA story
that I think we can all get behind Devin Booker.

Speaker 3 (39:19):
The Suns today said.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
Hey, you know, obviously he was snubbed for the All
Star Game. We talked about this last night. There are
real big time snubs for this game. I'm always gonna
tell you snubs is not that.

Speaker 3 (39:29):
Big a deal.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
But NBA here, LaMelo Ball, Zach Levine, de Monte Sabonis
and Devin Booker.

Speaker 3 (39:36):
Yeah, absolutely, these guys get snubbed.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
And his idea, which is not a new one, but
he brought voice to it, is that why can't we
expand the All Star rosters to fifteen? Right, there's still
at twelve. When the rosters in the NBA now are
at fifteen, why can't we put the rosters up to fifteen.
I've seen people say, O, I don't like it, Steve
Kurt doesn't like it. What the hell is wrong with you?
It's an exhibit game. Let people see the stars they

(40:02):
want to go see. After they vote for the starters,
there's only seven spots that are left for an entire conference.
And guess what, there's a lot of good players that
deserve to be All Stars. It's it's a it's a
it's a it's a game that means less and less
as time goes on. They do all kinds of crazy
stuff with it. You can't give me that, Oh, it's
special to be an All Star when it's all we're

(40:23):
gonna have four different games with four different teams and
four different captains, and we're gonna have one basket that's
thirty feet high and one that's gonna be underground. And then,
I mean, don't give me the specialness. You can expand
the rosters to fifteen and add three more people and
it's not gonna be diluting the game at all.

Speaker 3 (40:38):
I would just say this exhibition.

Speaker 6 (40:40):
Now that you've gone to these tournaments, these guys aren't
gonna want to play all those minutes.

Speaker 3 (40:44):
Let's go.

Speaker 1 (40:45):
This is a this is a win win for everybody.
I don't get the coach opposition of this. I don't
get how.

Speaker 3 (40:51):
This isn't something that they could even do for this year. Hey,
we're gonna add three more people, so the guys get
to go. We're gonna do it.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
I mean, change out the bonus structure in contracts, which
is always dopey, just like allowing writers to decide whether
you make first, second, or third All Team, which then
decides your max contract. You're all a bunch of dopes
with your CBA wrangling. But here's an easy fix.

Speaker 6 (41:13):
Get rid of the bonuses and then actually go play
for a heavier prize.

Speaker 3 (41:18):
We'll have more NBA on the way.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
But next I'm ready to make a big quarterback draft prediction.
This is Fox because I sound just like that when
I disagree with you. McConaughey bears, ah, Bess bears.

Speaker 6 (41:34):
Well, that's generally we know that walking in when we
come in after the first round has been done, that
we stipulate that's the opening of the show and we
go from there.

Speaker 1 (41:45):
Those odds are those odds are off the board. They
don't even take those bets anymore. Now give me we
we just be giving money away. We can't take that.
Whatever the Jets pick, the pick is gonna be wrong.
Whoever they draft, it's gonna be wrong.

Speaker 3 (41:56):
Right.

Speaker 1 (41:57):
We look at the Super Bowl Makai Beckton, right, they
after them five years ago, and he was going to
be the next great offensive lineman. Couldn't stay healthy, couldn't
stay healthy. They moved his position. He didn't want to
play right tackle, but they moved him there. He got
hurt again, he couldn't stay in the lineup. They let
him go, and now he's starting for the Eagles and
part of that incredible offensive line that got take One

(42:18):
Barkley to a two thousand yard year.

Speaker 3 (42:20):
Right, that's Jets football. That's Jets football, Right, that's how
it goes.

Speaker 6 (42:23):
And then I mean, part of your draft day is
going to be trading Garrett Wilson.

Speaker 3 (42:27):
So it's all good. Well, here's the thing. I don't
think we'll trade.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
I've heard, I know the rumors out there that all
potential is going to ask for trade.

Speaker 3 (42:34):
But he's not going to ask for trade.

Speaker 1 (42:37):
If the Jets let Davonte Adams go, because he's doing
a lot of money and I don't know if they're
going to keep him, they're not going If they keep
DeVante Adams, Garrett Wilson will say, yes, I want to
get traded because I want to be a number one
guy somewhere. And I'm still not going to be because
Adams is still a terrific wide receiver. But if the
Jets let Adams go, Garrett Wilson.

Speaker 3 (42:55):
Will stay it. Why not just go beat him?

Speaker 1 (42:59):
Well, Well that's that's I I can't I can't tell you. Uh,
I can't tell people what they're gonna do. I'm telling
you how it's gonna go. I want to be the
number one, Well you're not gonna be I want outlet
a question, why.

Speaker 3 (43:12):
Not just go win the job? Wants to be a
number one receiver?

Speaker 1 (43:15):
Does that become buddies with Aaron Rodgers telling you, man
that generations the athletes are different there. They don't think
like like we did when when you were in when
when we were growing up, and it's twenty five years ago,
where you go out and earn everything every day and
if you want to beat somebody.

Speaker 3 (43:31):
You take it from there. No, that's not that's not
the gen z athlete. Man, it's not.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
It's Hey, I work hard, this is what I want. Oh,
but it's gonna be harder to get it. Well, no, no,
I don't want I want to go someplace else where.
It's where it's gonna be given to me, right, Like
I mean that that there's there's it's just not the same.
That the athletes are not the same.

Speaker 3 (43:47):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (43:47):
And they come with and and and and for better
and worse, the athletes are not the same.

Speaker 3 (43:51):
Like do I think they come into the league now?

Speaker 7 (43:53):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (43:54):
Gen Z athletes more ready to play in the NFL absolutely,
one hundred percent. Are they coming in much more NFL
ready because of what they've gone through in college, Yes,
because of what they do in their their attention to
detail in offensive systems.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
Yeah, But when it comes to competition, and I mean
you can't, you can't say when, okay, I'm ready to
stay and battle it out to me, No, I want
to be number especially wide receivers.

Speaker 3 (44:15):
Wide receivers want all the glory.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
You know, there's running backs that I'm very happy to say, Hey,
I'm okay sharing the load here. You know, we can
all get paid a little bit. I'm happy being Sonic
and knuckles. I'm happy being thunder and lightning.

Speaker 3 (44:28):
I'm happy.

Speaker 1 (44:28):
I'm happy wide receivers. No, no, no, I get all
the footballs. I get all the footballs. They don't go
to anybody else. I get all The only time I
don't get a pass is when I'm on the sideline
and I'm getting a drink of water because I've just
caught three passes in a row and you want to
throw to somebody else. Then I come back in the
game and then I get the rest of the passes.
That's kind of how it goes for wide receivers.

Speaker 3 (44:46):
Got to collect them all. That's how it coast.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
But I'll give you this Bowl prodition because this I
can't believe has kind of flown under the radar as
it has the past twelve to fifteen hours. This was
Shador Sanders.

Speaker 3 (44:59):
Right.

Speaker 1 (44:59):
Remember he's not playing at the Senior Bowl this week.
He's had no reason to right, it's gonna be a
top five pick. And here he was doing an interview
on the sideline while while prep and everything is going on,
and he drops a huge hint about where he thinks
he's going to be playing in the next few months.

Speaker 5 (45:18):
Take a listen, any plays but the Jets.

Speaker 3 (45:23):
Heard that loud and clear. There we go.

Speaker 1 (45:25):
That's three seconds there any place, but anywhere else? I
mean even Tampa, yes, even Carolina, Yes, what about the Jets?
I said any place, But the Jets. Don't put the
Jets in there when I said not the Jets. So
here he is saying, Remember, now, listen, this is not
where he's gonna be playing. It's who he is going
to be playing where he is check it out.

Speaker 8 (45:49):
Not being in the stadium is definitely is definitely fun.
I know I'll play here very soon against the Cowboys,
but it is definitely a dream come to being able
to be at this Bowl game watching my brothers out
there watching.

Speaker 1 (46:04):
So here he is. Okay, wait a minute, I'll be
playing in Dallas. Right, We're in Dallas. Uh, wait a minute,
I'll be playing here against the Cowboys very soon.

Speaker 3 (46:14):
And now let's take a look at the top of
the draft.

Speaker 1 (46:16):
Tennessee Titans, No, not really, Cleveland Brown's noh, not really,
drafting third the New York Giants who play in Dallas
once a year every year. I'm pretty sure, not only
not only is Chador Sanders going to be a Giant.
Both the Titans and the Browns will probably stay out

(46:39):
of their way to draft Chador Sanders because I am
sure this is the preferred destination. The fact that Chador
Sanders is on television on NFL Network saying, hey, I'll
be playing here against the Cowboys very soon tells you
that the Giants have the Chadour and Deon Sanders seal
of approval. And there you know, you know that de

(47:00):
chad are very and Dions talked about uh and and
and hinted that they want to be very particular where
chadur winds up, and if if the Titans were to
draft him, I could see it being I'm not playing here. Nope,
not playing here, gone, oh Cleveland's raft. Nope, not playing here.
You gotta trade me, you gotta trade me, and and
and an Eli Manning will be pulled and somebody's gonna
have to panic.

Speaker 3 (47:20):
The fact that cam Ward and d and and Shador Sanders.

Speaker 1 (47:24):
Don't have absolute high number one overall grades on them
because you look, Travis Hunter has a great grade, and
there's some other players now that their odds are improving
to go number one.

Speaker 3 (47:32):
Overall that aren't the quarterbacks. Uh.

Speaker 1 (47:35):
This tells me that this will be a pretty easy decision.
The Titans have already said they're open to trading the pick.

Speaker 3 (47:39):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
The Browns probably will. Hey, we're happy with cam Ward,
you know, we go forward. But I think they will
both stay out of the way for the Giants. If
Sanders is the that's the preferred landing spot for him.
Now he's gonna go on the top three, top five
And not only should not only uh, is this gonna happen?
This is the guy the Giants should take, right, They

(48:02):
should take Shador Sanders if he's open head of everybody else,
because the Giants need an identity. They have not had
an identity in years. The organization is a mess, and
they've always had a great identity, whether it was a.

Speaker 3 (48:16):
Great defense Eli Manning for the better part of fifteen years. Right,
this was the Giants identity and they're just flailing right now.
They have no quarterback. Your GM is one foot out
the door from being fired. So is your head coach. Yes,
you're drafting Elik Neighbors, who looks like he's gonna be special.
But okay, he's a wide receiver, right, I mean he's

(48:36):
not Odell Beckham. He didn't have an Odell Beckham type year.

Speaker 1 (48:38):
He could be a really, really terrific player, but he's
not that cutthrough guy. The Giants need an identity and
Shador Sanders would bring that. He would bring his star power,
He brings his talent. You know, Dion would weigh in
all the time on it. The Giants would be a
daily story. He would become Okay, who are the Giants?
We are quarterback driven with Shador Sanders, and some team

(49:00):
just need a star player. Some teams need an identity
and that's why you need an identity.

Speaker 3 (49:05):
Do the Jets need identity? No, Aaron Glenn came in.

Speaker 1 (49:08):
He's their identity right now right other teams hiring head coaches?
Do the Bears need identity? No, we know it's Ben Jonson,
it's Caleb Williams. But the Giants with a lame duck
coach and a lame duck GM, they need to know
who are we? What are we? How do we start
going forward? What do we want teams to be able
to know? Hey, we got to prepare for this. With
the Giants, they need their guy.

Speaker 3 (49:29):
They need to be.

Speaker 1 (49:29):
Quarterback driven, and Shador Sanders is that guy because he
will give them that. Look at you, just trying to
prop it up as best you can. I appreciate you.

Speaker 6 (49:39):
Tennessee plays at Dallas in twenty twenty six, for what
it's worth.

Speaker 3 (49:43):
That's not very soon though, that's not soon.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
I don't think he's saying Tennessee, I mean playing here
in two years, one game, one time. Nah, I don't
think that's I would just say this, as you say,
the stand down and let him get to the Giants
whatever to help with that.

Speaker 6 (49:58):
They want him, come and get it. Give me a
bunch of draft picks. I'm not getting out of the way.

Speaker 1 (50:02):
Even if I don't really love him, I'm gonna tell
you that I do.

Speaker 3 (50:06):
Yeah, but who's coming up to get him? Who's coming
up to get him? Who's well?

Speaker 1 (50:09):
The Giants can come yet, who's well? But they are
at three. I think the Giants will say, yeah, we're
absolutely fine sitting at three and and good. Who's who's
gonna trade up the ransom that you want for a quarterback?
That is not Andrew Luck, that's not Jaden Daniels, that's
not Caleb.

Speaker 3 (50:25):
But you just.

Speaker 6 (50:26):
Sold me that he was the identity. He's everything to
go and change a change of culture. He's what change
a giant and everything else. He's that's what they If
that's what there's believing, and you think that's true, then
let them buy into that and show it and show me.

Speaker 1 (50:44):
But who's going up, Who's who's gonna who's gonna move allway?
Because you know, if you're trading the number one overall pick,
they're gonna want a big ransom for it. Sure, and
this is not It might be a different player, it
might not be necessary moving up Travis Right for the
purpose or ab dual Carter.

Speaker 3 (51:02):
But for the purposes of.

Speaker 6 (51:03):
This discussion, you know, if we're gonna paint him in
the picture of he's the elixure that cures it all.
I want Shane to pay for it. I'm not letting
him fall into his lap with some Ah they need him.
He may not want to come here.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
No, you can't make but you can't make people be
interested if they don't want to trade up.

Speaker 3 (51:21):
You can't make people be interested.

Speaker 6 (51:23):
One for one pick is always gonna have value, whether
it's ship or not. If nothing else, you scare the
giants into thinking they've got to make a move.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
Yeah, but how do you But they're gonna know people
know who's realistic.

Speaker 6 (51:34):
There's a lot of teams in the need for EA quarterback.
We've we've a stay there are.

Speaker 1 (51:39):
But but but you need you need some kind of
real threat. You can't just make it up and say, hey,
oh guess what I got. I got all kinds of
offers coming out. You go, you want Jador Sanders. You
got to set the whole poker. It's the whole poker
game of the draft. I mean, the Titans need a
quarterback that if if one national not a decent place
for a guy to go play. If one team is interested.

(52:02):
If one team is interested, then other teams are going
to be interested in other teams are going to talk
like that's just how it goes.

Speaker 3 (52:07):
There's gonna be no silent.

Speaker 1 (52:09):
Mystery team that's gonna say hey, no, but it can't
tell anybody.

Speaker 6 (52:13):
To your point, if this guy's this transcendental is you're
trying to pay him.

Speaker 3 (52:17):
Out to be. He's the pick for the Giants.

Speaker 1 (52:19):
He is the pick to give the Giants an identity
because they absolutely need it.

Speaker 3 (52:24):
They had one to the.

Speaker 6 (52:25):
Running back there that they as they should have. But
he wants for a couple of years. Yeah, but but
now they don't have anything. Now they have nothing. Okay,
this is who we have. Let's start over.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
Let's start over the biggest position we have, so we're
not having another year of Hey, Tommy Cutlins might be
playing quarterback for us. No, look at Tennessee and Cleveland.
Are they the Giants? Are they the pageantry and the
heritage of the Giants. No, this the Giants are a
pretty special team in the NFL when it comes to
the worry and not right, but but they still are.
They're more special than the Browns. They're more special than

(52:59):
the Titans. They're up there with the Steelers and the
Cowboys and the Dolphins, like these are the teams that, Hey,
this is where I want to go play. I want
to go play for this organization. I want the number
one media market in the country, which I'm gonna get
from the Giants. I'm gonna get unbelievable media attention in
New York because then one thing we know, Shaduro Sanders
likes media attention, and I'm taking.

Speaker 6 (53:19):
The opportunity to hold them over a barrel, if for
nothing else, to make life difficult for everybody, you just
get out of the way and let it go.

Speaker 3 (53:31):
I'm with you.

Speaker 1 (53:32):
I just, I just this is not a year where
people are gonna give up a ton to move all
the way up.

Speaker 3 (53:36):
That's just It's just not that year.

Speaker 1 (53:38):
There's other years where it is right, and people may
move up in the second and third round if they
see their quarterback say hey, I want.

Speaker 3 (53:44):
To move up.

Speaker 1 (53:45):
I really like Jaln Milroe, I really like Kyle McCord,
I really like Jackson Dart, I really like Quinn Ewers.
Let's move up in the second round form where it's
not as expensive that I think is going to happen
a ton. I think that's good where we're going to
get that ton, But top of the draft, it just
costs so much to move up. If it's not a
guy you're absolutely in love with that you know really
wants to play there, I don't know. And that's part

(54:05):
of what the what I'm sure Dion and Shadur is
gonna do. We're gonna scare off the teams that we
don't want to play for, like if we really want
the Giants for everything they can offer the market, the attention, uh,
starting over in a huge situation.

Speaker 3 (54:19):
Yeah, they'll scare other teams.

Speaker 1 (54:20):
Off so they don't have to move up to get it.
I'd love to see, because I like you. I've come
to love chaos.

Speaker 6 (54:25):
I just don't know how that's gonna happen to you
after ten years and you can go to continued chaos
with the Giants because now you'll have a new GM
after Shane and his kid get bounced.

Speaker 1 (54:38):
Yeah, but at least I'll get to make this pick.
You know, we'll make this one, but no more after
that one.

Speaker 6 (54:43):
Yeah, well, I mean he's still gonna lose the off
season to the Jets and the Bears, So.

Speaker 3 (54:48):
Just get ready, get ready, Chadeur to the giants, it
is gonna be a done deal.
