Speaker 1 (00:05):
Catching Phase is brought to you by Fan Duel. It's
never been easier to play fantasy on FANDUL. Whether you
love basketball, golf, soccer, or any other fantasy sport. There's
a contest for every fan. Fan Duel more ways to
wine Catching Phase. I keep to leave here. So the
(00:28):
NFL put out that teams who have COVID outbreaks will
have the forefeit games instead of rescheduling and leave. I
agree with the NFL, Man, team should have the forfeit games.
You have an outbreak, you can't play. We gotta play
them games, man, because I don't I don't believe in
cramming them games rescheduled to happen to cram them games together. Man,
(00:49):
it's the greatest team sport in the world. So you
know the teams, the teams who all the guys is vaccinated,
they have a better chance to win. The teams who
don't have a lot of guys vaccinated, they add risk
for the outbreak more than the guys who you know
who are vaccinated. Man. So we can't cram that schedule
(01:11):
like we did last year. Man. We we we had
Pittsburgh played like three games and like ten days, eleven days,
or something like that. Man's there's no way a team
you have to do that. That's not close to enough
recovery times. Man. Three games were talked about here. If
a team have an outbreak, man and and and another
(01:32):
team is healthy enough to play, you should have to
forfeit that game. And if you're missing the key position,
then you should have to bring a guy in. Bring
a guy in. It's a team sport. Get him up
to speed. Have guys who you can bring in. Get
him up to speed. It's a it's hundred guys on
the team right now. When the season starts, it's gonna
be fifty three, sixty three or whatever it is. Fifty
(01:52):
three guys practice squad, sixty guys or sixty two guys
now or whatever it is. Forty guys know that system.
Bring somebody in and plug him in and let him play. Man,
you got guys on standby. So I agree with the
NFL as far as playing the games, not rescheduling games.
But I can't agree with the NFL on finding players
(02:14):
UH for getting sick. Basically, Man, you can't find guys
for for getting sick. Man, Uh, vaccinated or unvaccinated, you
can't find guys for getting sick. So you're telling me,
if if a vaccinated guy catch COVID, he just go home,
ain't nothing happen. But if a guy who not vaccinated
catch COVID, he gets fined fifteen K. So, man, this
(02:37):
unvaccinated guy could be doing everything else but getting vaccinated.
He could he could be going nowhere, eating door dash
every day and he could go pump his gas or
something and get COVID and you're gonna find him fifteen K.
That's not right. This guy could be an undrafted rookie
who just you know, where are his body and don't
want to take the vaccine, but he's doing everything else
(02:59):
and he gets sick and then you find him fit
team K. That's not right, man, that's unfair. The team,
the team, the player is being punished enough by having
to go home and not being able to help his
team or what I'm saying. That's that's punishment enough taking
football away from God. So you're gonna take fitten k
for man. That's that's definitely on call for man. I'll
have to the situation exactly like the NFL would as
(03:23):
far as as far as forfeit in games. And you
know the schedule is the schedule. You gotta get to
that schedule. But as far as finding players, that's the bullshit. Man,
we can't do that. You can't do that, man. We
can't control. The pandemic is not our fault. What I'm saying.
Even guys who who are vaccinated, they still can catch
the virus. Man, So you can't separate the two like that. Man.
(03:44):
In my takes for the week, we got an interview
with Michael Brocker's coming up. Man, y'all don't want to
miss it. Lock in, we're catching face. One thing I

to leave here. We got my dog now detroit lyon
(05:33):
what I'm saying, Michael Brocker's rock. What's up? Baby, It's good.
You'll see me. You'll see me rocking the tigers getting this.
This was fired. You know what you've been waiting to?
Where one of them? Anyway? You know what I'm saying,
Let's not with you, man. I'm good, bro, good moving,
a lot of doing, a lot of moving and shaking.
But already know, fu fam good Man. Family is great. Bro,
(05:56):
family is great. How about yourself? Bro? How about yourself?
You know they're good and we're making it. Do you
know what I'm saying, making this money? Move out here.
What I'm saying, I'm gonna let you about it. I'm
gonna be out there. You know what I'm saying. You
already know. Let's get to it. Man, My dog Houston, Texas,
born in Houston, Texas, grew up Houston, Texas. I'm saying,
you leader State, go to L s U. While you
pick L s U, pick the L s U. Because
(06:17):
I didn't want to be the typical. I go to Texas,
Texas A and M You know I want I want
to go out there in the SEC because you know,
I've seen a lot of guys from the SEC go
first round, go to the draft, So yeah, that just
made sense to me. Yeah, you can't, you can't really,
you can't really ask nobody why they left Texas if
they go to like Bauma, l s U, Old State
(06:38):
or like SC. What I'm saying, you know why I
left ship because maybe so you were there with you
went for two years. I was at LSU for three years.
I read shirted my first year and played two seasons.
All right, so you was there? Really why I was
popping popping right when the when the Bauma and LSU
(06:59):
when that ship was right right right? Uh you think
you think it was Liva in is Liva now? That
robbery still there? Is it? Is it one sided or
what is it? Bro It's a it's gonna always be there,
just because l s U and Alabama both in the West,
so you know, they both gotta face you face each
other each and every year usually they always in the
(07:20):
top ten. So it's always gonna be a robbery between
them two teams right there. Yeah, and they they they
their names both popping right now, so they're gonna keepetting
them recruiting Classes's what I'm saying. And you know now
they're paying players, you know, the top dogs gonna be
the top dogs. So that's gonna crank up the top
dogs too, know what I'm saying. So Ba l s U.
You go to uh St Louis Underfitch? What them Jeff
(07:42):
Fitch days is like, Bro, Man them them days was wonderful.
Man Jeff knew how to treat his players. Bro. He
was he was a player's coach. He kept it real
with you. But at the same time, man he Ke
kept the locker room and just the atmosphere inside the building,
like you know up you know, even though we we
didn't have the best seasons, like, we had the most fun.
(08:04):
You know, we did pranks, We did all kinds of stuff,
a little stuff for holidays. So he man, he definitely
kept the mobile high in the locker room. You hear
that a lot about fish too. That's you probably like
the fifth sixth person out I heard it. I probably
heard that from you before. But you probably liked the
fifth sixth person out I heard say that. Man, So
what you would rather have a vibe the locker room
(08:25):
or you would rather have a straightforward by this business
win games the cool the cool coach or the win
about his business coach. Bro, Like how we had it
how we wasn't when when we was in l A.
Bro like, yeah, we keep it cool, cop asthetic. You know,
he let us the us. But at the same time,
when it was time to get down to the grind,
(08:47):
we we knew what to do, you know what, the
same what it took to get to work. So I just,
you know, I'd rather have somebody let us be us.
But at the same time, when it's time to get
on that grind, let's get on, get do our do
our thing, and then we can go back to the
locker room and chill. You gotta have the right you
gotta have the right group, the right vets what I'm saying,
on the team to get that ship done. And we did.
You know what I'm saying. We had nice, nice love vibe,
(09:09):
nice little group, yeah, I'm saying. So then boom, y'all
moved in l A. That's really like switching teams. You
ain't really switch teams, but it's like you switch teams.
The family had to move and do all that. What
was the difference, man, between between Fish Vibe, Sean Vibe,
and just St. Louis and l A Vibe. Just what
was the difference? What I mean, you know, you go
(09:31):
from the Midwest to the West Coast, so you know,
we we went from having won in two games National
Games to having six and seven. You know what I'm saying. Eight?
You know, um, you know, because we're always on TV.
Everybody whant to see the ramp. They always on TV.
So I think if that was the biggest thing. Obviously
you got the Midwest. Go to West Coast is a
different vibe. But I think the biggest thing was that
(09:52):
that nor notoriety. You know, I'm saying, even when we
weren't good, we were still on TV. Just you know,
that was dope. That Tim's on too. You know what
I'm saying, it's gonna have you It's only it's only
it's only a few college teams. A look, that game
is gonna probably be somewhere around there. What I'm saying,
you brought up our team, our eighteen team. You know
(10:13):
what I'm saying. What else? What else you think made
us special besides our vibe? Uh? I mean, I just
think everybody believed in what we're gonna do. I remember,
this is one thing that I took from that season
and is what you said, Like you was like, bro,
if we can get our stuff together. Bro, We're going
all the way and I know it. And from you
(10:34):
saying that because you've already been there, made everybody else
believe like, Okay, he know what he what hes talking
about because he didn't already been there. So if he
see that in us, then why can't we go all
the way? You know what? Why can't we go to
the boat. So when you you said that, and we
had all the other O G saying the same thing
and just going out there competing and doing what we
gotta do, man, it just made sense like, yeah, we're
(10:57):
gonna Boca. We beat people too bad? You know what, right,
you hit it on the head. It was it was
that confidence that was in our whole building I'm saying.
But like we definitely had it on d you know
what I'm saying. Shinn them had it on offense. They
dropping thirty a game, and we was like we're nice
like this. You know what I'm saying, Shign them dropping
thirty ain't no wait, wain't going to win the chip
(11:17):
and say we hadn't running too. Tommy and the people though, Man,
you know we all know how that ship go. You
know what I'm saying it is what it is. So
we fast forward. Bam, Detroit. Know what I'm saying. You
out there in Detroit, j G out there in Detroit.
Know what I'm saying. What's the state of Detroit. How
y'all feel about it? I feel really good about it
because they started off with the coaching staff. Like each time,
(11:39):
you know, like you've been talking like each time we've
been talking about the coaching staff is the most important thing.
Like if you get a good coaching staff that can
communicate with the players and get across with what they want.
And you know what I'm saying. Also, let the players
beat themselves. Don't try to change the players and make
them roll by to make them this and that. Like
we all different individuals, but we all got something. We
(12:00):
bring something to this team. So if you just treat
us like men, and you know, let us know what's
up from the get go, I mean, we can't we
can't do nothing but respect that. And that's what that's
what Dan and his staff has done. And Dan, you know,
on on a deeper note, he has a full you know,
saying most of his staff as African American. So at
you know, when I looked at that I said, dangn
(12:21):
get it, Dann get it. You know what I'm saying.
He wanted them guys that he was room right. You're right,
he was in that locker room. You know. He given
everybody a chance to shign. Everybody, you know, moved from positions.
You know they was you know that lord dB codes
here and they're not in D the d C. You
know we got a G and Glenn he the d C.
Now you know what I'm saying. So I just I
(12:41):
just liked that concept of how Dan has built this team.
And you know we do have a young team. But
I think, like you said, like we said earlier, once
he treats us like man, just communicate with us and
what do you want, man, we can get the job done.
You feel like you feel like it's a different vibe
in the building now at Mattie p Ma. Patricia's gone,
oh yeah, oh yeah. A lot of the guys from
(13:02):
the ex you know, from the ex regime loves this regime.
I mean, they really have no choice. But it's a
night and day situation. That's how they do, right, That's
how they feel, That's how they feel. They like bro,
this this this coach is said, gets it like they're
talking to us. You know what I'm saying, They answering
my questions like like we want them to answer. You know,
sometimes coaches who got their ego behind man, you already know.
(13:27):
I mean, they already do that ship to lead. They
are that. I already know that. So everybody appreciate that
and just respect them. So, I mean, we were definitely
gonna do something that's good. I got some young boys
over there too, man, little Jeff, a couple of dvs.
I'm gonna hit on them and check their temperates over there.
Uh So, speaking to Mattie P, why do you think
(13:48):
why do you think the Patriot coaches don't be succeeding
like that when they leave? Bill O'Brien, Maddy P. You
know what I'm saying, who else who I'm who I'm
leaving out, Josh mcdowns he left for a little minute.
Why do you think they don't leave and had that
good success like like the Patriots doing because they try
to be Bill Belichick. Bro. You can't be Bill Belichick, bro,
Like you can take a couple of his concepts but
(14:09):
make it your own. Don't try to be him. You know,
I feel like a lot of them coaches try to
be him, like, yes, that philosophy works for him. You
know what I'm saying, have your own philosophy, do your
own things. I just think that. I think a lot
of them guys take whatever they've seen Bill do and
try to do the same thing, and it don't work
out the same because it's just it don't work for everybody.
You know what I'm saying, It worked for him, you
(14:30):
know what I mean, because they're not Billy. You ain't
gonna have Bill say ship to people and you respect it.
I was there, Look, because he built Bill O'Brien up
saying to people. People are gonna look at it like,
mother bucker, you ain't Bill. I feel it. I feel
like you're saying, let's get back to them lines. Though. Man,
when my daughter j G looking like out there, man, man,
(14:53):
he looking like he a leader, bro, He a leader bro.
And I like that. I like that confidence that he got, Like, man,
I didn't did this, folks, I hadn't been on the
team that that went from you know, nothing to something.
And I just you know, he's carrying himself like that,
and and I love to see that about himself. That's
what's up? And I've been saying it on this show,
my other show, what j G gonna play a lot?
(15:16):
Everybody want assisting him up right? And j G don't
want and Pop Warner in high school and in college
and look, he's just a winner breast, So he's gonna
play a lot better than everybody think he is. The
Only thing is, who the funk he gonna throw the
ball too? Brock? What that room looking like over there?
That's the That's that's what makes me nervous about the lines.
(15:37):
See what I'm saying, Just j G go in if
he would have got chased or if he would have
got Bama. You know, I'm saying, Smith, But what that
room gonna do for him? Man? You know who knows? Man?
But I think this is a great time for them,
dude to step up and make their name. No, you
know what I'm saying. A lot of these a lot
of these guys are undrafted that they're coming from different
(15:59):
teams were they wasn't a man? How you got the
chance to be the man? Let's see what you've got
to do. You get the target right, right, you get
the target. Let's see what you're gonna do. So I mean,
you know, it's up to them on how they want
to do it. I mean, we have a hell of
an offense on mine, so you already know we're gonna
run that Bob. You know, I called the Lions game
(16:19):
last year, so I really had to get into it
and see what they got. Man, Look, they got something
on that line. I'm telling you, D Line too, D
Line the rick Yard drafted. Where are you from? Old miss?
Where are you from? Smith? It is one? Yeah, that
guy where is she from? He worked nine and something right.
(16:42):
He gonna be in the mix with you all. I'm
telling you he's nice. It's gonna be in a game once,
once it really get down to it, He's gonna be
in a game. He's gonna be next to you a
couple of times. You're gonna look like Lee told me
you was gonna be Lee teld me you was gonna
be in with me. Fan, Come on side up front, y'all,
y'all got would it take? That's how I know the
lines could do something. So a week seven, y'all played
in rounds. Man, you know what I'm saying. You know
(17:05):
I got that circle? You got that circle? Yes, sir, Yes, sir,
what I'm saying you, I bet you and j G
got that circle, man, So I'm gonna definitely be tuned in. Man,
hopefully I'll be working. Hopefully i'll call that game or
something I'm saying. Hopefully didn't give it the need, bro
you already know I need it. I need it. Hey,
brock I appreciate you. Baby. I ain't gonna hold you. Man.
(17:25):
We're nice to need on this side. But I appreciate
any time you said you was asking about the podcast
stuff before we hopped on. Any time you got any
questions when you start your podcast, you want to break it,
you wanna leave to come on foundation anything you got found.

I read shirted my first year and played two seasons.
All right, so you was there? Really why I was
popping popping right when the when the Bauma and LSU
(06:59):
when that ship was right right right? Uh you think
you think it was Liva in is Liva now? That
robbery still there? Is it? Is it one sided or
what is it? Bro It's a it's gonna always be there,
just because l s U and Alabama both in the West,
so you know, they both gotta face you face each
other each and every year usually they always in the
(07:20):
top ten. So it's always gonna be a robbery between
them two teams right there. Yeah, and they they they
their names both popping right now, so they're gonna keepetting
them recruiting Classes's what I'm saying. And you know now
they're paying players, you know, the top dogs gonna be
the top dogs. So that's gonna crank up the top
dogs too, know what I'm saying. So Ba l s U.
You go to uh St Louis Underfitch? What them Jeff
(07:42):
Fitch days is like, Bro, Man them them days was wonderful.
Man Jeff knew how to treat his players. Bro. He
was he was a player's coach. He kept it real
with you. But at the same time, man he Ke
kept the locker room and just the atmosphere inside the building,
like you know up you know, even though we we
didn't have the best seasons, like, we had the most fun.
(08:04):
You know, we did pranks, We did all kinds of stuff,
a little stuff for holidays. So he man, he definitely
kept the mobile high in the locker room. You hear
that a lot about fish too. That's you probably like
the fifth sixth person out I heard it. I probably
heard that from you before. But you probably liked the
fifth sixth person out I heard say that. Man, So
what you would rather have a vibe the locker room
(08:25):
or you would rather have a straightforward by this business
win games the cool the cool coach or the win
about his business coach. Bro, Like how we had it
how we wasn't when when we was in l A.
Bro like, yeah, we keep it cool, cop asthetic. You know,
he let us the us. But at the same time,
when it was time to get down to the grind,
(08:47):
we we knew what to do, you know what, the
same what it took to get to work. So I just,
you know, I'd rather have somebody let us be us.
But at the same time, when it's time to get
on that grind, let's get on, get do our do
our thing, and then we can go back to the
locker room and chill. You gotta have the right you
gotta have the right group, the right vets what I'm saying,
on the team to get that ship done. And we did.
You know what I'm saying. We had nice, nice love vibe,
(09:09):
nice little group, yeah, I'm saying. So then boom, y'all
moved in l A. That's really like switching teams. You
ain't really switch teams, but it's like you switch teams.
The family had to move and do all that. What
was the difference, man, between between Fish Vibe, Sean Vibe,
and just St. Louis and l A Vibe. Just what
was the difference? What I mean, you know, you go
(09:31):
from the Midwest to the West Coast, so you know,
we we went from having won in two games National
Games to having six and seven. You know what I'm saying. Eight?
You know, um, you know, because we're always on TV.
Everybody whant to see the ramp. They always on TV.
So I think if that was the biggest thing. Obviously
you got the Midwest. Go to West Coast is a
different vibe. But I think the biggest thing was that
(09:52):
that nor notoriety. You know, I'm saying, even when we
weren't good, we were still on TV. Just you know,
that was dope. That Tim's on too. You know what
I'm saying, it's gonna have you It's only it's only
it's only a few college teams. A look, that game
is gonna probably be somewhere around there. What I'm saying,
you brought up our team, our eighteen team. You know
(10:13):
what I'm saying. What else? What else you think made
us special besides our vibe? Uh? I mean, I just
think everybody believed in what we're gonna do. I remember,
this is one thing that I took from that season
and is what you said, Like you was like, bro,
if we can get our stuff together. Bro, We're going
all the way and I know it. And from you
(10:34):
saying that because you've already been there, made everybody else
believe like, Okay, he know what he what hes talking
about because he didn't already been there. So if he
see that in us, then why can't we go all
the way? You know what? Why can't we go to
the boat. So when you you said that, and we
had all the other O G saying the same thing
and just going out there competing and doing what we
gotta do, man, it just made sense like, yeah, we're
(10:57):
gonna Boca. We beat people too bad? You know what, right,
you hit it on the head. It was it was
that confidence that was in our whole building I'm saying.
But like we definitely had it on d you know
what I'm saying. Shinn them had it on offense. They
dropping thirty a game, and we was like we're nice
like this. You know what I'm saying, Shign them dropping
thirty ain't no wait, wain't going to win the chip
(11:17):
and say we hadn't running too. Tommy and the people though, Man,
you know we all know how that ship go. You
know what I'm saying it is what it is. So
we fast forward. Bam, Detroit. Know what I'm saying. You
out there in Detroit, j G out there in Detroit.
Know what I'm saying. What's the state of Detroit. How
y'all feel about it? I feel really good about it
because they started off with the coaching staff. Like each time,
(11:39):
you know, like you've been talking like each time we've
been talking about the coaching staff is the most important thing.
Like if you get a good coaching staff that can
communicate with the players and get across with what they want.
And you know what I'm saying. Also, let the players
beat themselves. Don't try to change the players and make
them roll by to make them this and that. Like
we all different individuals, but we all got something. We
(12:00):
bring something to this team. So if you just treat
us like men, and you know, let us know what's
up from the get go, I mean, we can't we
can't do nothing but respect that. And that's what that's
what Dan and his staff has done. And Dan, you know,
on on a deeper note, he has a full you know,
saying most of his staff as African American. So at
you know, when I looked at that I said, dangn
(12:21):
get it, Dann get it. You know what I'm saying.
He wanted them guys that he was room right. You're right,
he was in that locker room. You know. He given
everybody a chance to shign. Everybody, you know, moved from positions.
You know they was you know that lord dB codes
here and they're not in D the d C. You
know we got a G and Glenn he the d C.
Now you know what I'm saying. So I just I
(12:41):
just liked that concept of how Dan has built this team.
And you know we do have a young team. But
I think, like you said, like we said earlier, once
he treats us like man, just communicate with us and
what do you want, man, we can get the job done.
You feel like you feel like it's a different vibe
in the building now at Mattie p Ma. Patricia's gone,
oh yeah, oh yeah. A lot of the guys from
(13:02):
the ex you know, from the ex regime loves this regime.
I mean, they really have no choice. But it's a
night and day situation. That's how they do, right, That's
how they feel, That's how they feel. They like bro,
this this this coach is said, gets it like they're
talking to us. You know what I'm saying, They answering
my questions like like we want them to answer. You know,
sometimes coaches who got their ego behind man, you already know.
(13:27):
I mean, they already do that ship to lead. They
are that. I already know that. So everybody appreciate that
and just respect them. So, I mean, we were definitely
gonna do something that's good. I got some young boys
over there too, man, little Jeff, a couple of dvs.
I'm gonna hit on them and check their temperates over there.
Uh So, speaking to Mattie P, why do you think
(13:48):
why do you think the Patriot coaches don't be succeeding
like that when they leave? Bill O'Brien, Maddy P. You
know what I'm saying, who else who I'm who I'm
leaving out, Josh mcdowns he left for a little minute.
Why do you think they don't leave and had that
good success like like the Patriots doing because they try
to be Bill Belichick. Bro. You can't be Bill Belichick, bro,
Like you can take a couple of his concepts but
(14:09):
make it your own. Don't try to be him. You know,
I feel like a lot of them coaches try to
be him, like, yes, that philosophy works for him. You
know what I'm saying, have your own philosophy, do your
own things. I just think that. I think a lot
of them guys take whatever they've seen Bill do and
try to do the same thing, and it don't work
out the same because it's just it don't work for everybody.
You know what I'm saying, It worked for him, you
(14:30):
know what I mean, because they're not Billy. You ain't
gonna have Bill say ship to people and you respect it.
I was there, Look, because he built Bill O'Brien up
saying to people. People are gonna look at it like,
mother bucker, you ain't Bill. I feel it. I feel
like you're saying, let's get back to them lines. Though. Man,
when my daughter j G looking like out there, man, man,
(14:53):
he looking like he a leader, bro, He a leader bro.
And I like that. I like that confidence that he got, Like, man,
I didn't did this, folks, I hadn't been on the
team that that went from you know, nothing to something.
And I just you know, he's carrying himself like that,
and and I love to see that about himself. That's
what's up? And I've been saying it on this show,
my other show, what j G gonna play a lot?
(15:16):
Everybody want assisting him up right? And j G don't
want and Pop Warner in high school and in college
and look, he's just a winner breast, So he's gonna
play a lot better than everybody think he is. The
Only thing is, who the funk he gonna throw the
ball too? Brock? What that room looking like over there?
That's the That's that's what makes me nervous about the lines.
(15:37):
See what I'm saying, Just j G go in if
he would have got chased or if he would have
got Bama. You know, I'm saying, Smith, But what that
room gonna do for him? Man? You know who knows? Man?
But I think this is a great time for them,
dude to step up and make their name. No, you
know what I'm saying. A lot of these a lot
of these guys are undrafted that they're coming from different
(15:59):
teams were they wasn't a man? How you got the
chance to be the man? Let's see what you've got
to do. You get the target right, right, you get
the target. Let's see what you're gonna do. So I mean,
you know, it's up to them on how they want
to do it. I mean, we have a hell of
an offense on mine, so you already know we're gonna
run that Bob. You know, I called the Lions game
(16:19):
last year, so I really had to get into it
and see what they got. Man, Look, they got something
on that line. I'm telling you, D Line too, D
Line the rick Yard drafted. Where are you from? Old miss?
Where are you from? Smith? It is one? Yeah, that
guy where is she from? He worked nine and something right.
(16:42):
He gonna be in the mix with you all. I'm
telling you he's nice. It's gonna be in a game once,
once it really get down to it, He's gonna be
in a game. He's gonna be next to you a
couple of times. You're gonna look like Lee told me
you was gonna be Lee teld me you was gonna
be in with me. Fan, Come on side up front, y'all,
y'all got would it take? That's how I know the
lines could do something. So a week seven, y'all played
in rounds. Man, you know what I'm saying. You know
(17:05):
I got that circle? You got that circle? Yes, sir, Yes, sir,
what I'm saying you, I bet you and j G
got that circle, man, So I'm gonna definitely be tuned in. Man,
hopefully I'll be working. Hopefully i'll call that game or
something I'm saying. Hopefully didn't give it the need, bro
you already know I need it. I need it. Hey,
