Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
The Season with Peter Schreeger is a production of the
NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio. What's off, everybody, Welcome to
the Season with Peter Schreger. I'm Peter Schreger, your host.

(00:28):
It is a hot and steamy Thursday. As we record this.
It is August first, and I have no idea where
I am. I have no idea what time it is.
I am freaking exhausted, and I want to give you
a recap of what's been going down the last few weeks,
which includes football, includes a lot of travel, it includes

(00:50):
getting up to speed with the NFL. I welcome in
my beautiful producer slash co host on this sucker, mister
Aaron Wong Kaufman, who is beaming in from what looks
to be a cabin in the woods Ted Kazinski style.
What's going on, dude.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
I don't know about take Azinsky style, but yes, I
am with you from the woods of Maine. I'm in
a barn.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Barn it's badass. Take your time in Maine. I'm hitting
the ground running. I was away for quite a bit.
We didn't do two weeks of these podcasts, and we
were like, let's just hold off until we're back on
Good Morning Football, and then we'll get going. Let me
explain what my last twenty four hours had been, and
then we're gonna go backwards and I'll give you some nuggets,

(01:30):
some stories, and we can talk a little NFL. But
Aaron I was up at two forty five in the
morning in a hotel room in Manhattan Beach yesterday. Manhattan Beach,
not being the beaches of Manhattan, New York, Manhattan Beach, California.
Woke up at two forty five in the morning, which
is the alarm clock time for what I'll be getting

(01:51):
up when I do Good Morning Football out in LA.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
If you've not read the news or seen Good Morning
Football is back and I am in a bi coastal
slash hybrid New York LA schedule. I did not I
want to move my family out there. I still wanted
to do the show, so we came to an agreement
where many episodes I'll be doing from LA, living in
a hotel, waking up at two forty five in the morning,

(02:17):
doing four hours of television that starts at five am Pacific,
but also eight am Eastern Time, and doing that from
the awesome LA Sofi Stadium NFL Network Studios, which is
maybe the coolest studio I've ever been in, but is
also on the West Coast when it's dark out, so
I've got to get used to that body clock. Then

(02:40):
I got done with the show, race to the airport,
flew home, got in and around ten ten point fifteen Eastern,
and then was up at five point thirty in the
morning New York time to prepare for a show, which
we are doing from a studio in downtown Manhattan. I
would say more Spring Street, so I guess like the village,

(03:02):
but all the way on the west side, which is
if you watched Thursday's Good Morning Football, you saw I
was in a box. That's how I'm gonna be doing
the episodes from New York. So getting used to the schedule.
But as we were doing this podcast, which is midday Thursday,
before the Hall of Fame game, before we get what's
going on in the Olympics on Thursday, with Simone Biles

(03:24):
about to take the beam this this is a man
who is on fumes and it is August first, and
we're gonna have to figure out the balance of traveling, sleeping,
resting because Aaron I do the weekly LA and it's
like I stay on East Coast time. But I'm telling you, dude,
it was so nice out there. The weather was insane

(03:46):
that like at six o'clock on the West Coast, which
would be nine o'clock in the East coaches, what a
prudent Peter Schugger should be getting in bed under the covers,
like it wasn't happening. I wanted to be outside. I
was staying in Manhattan Beach. I wanted to see the water,
and like I didn't go to bed until you know,
ten o'clock Pacific, which is like one o'clock am. So
I've got to get that down. But Aaron, as I

(04:09):
tell you this right now, we're on day four of
Good Morning Football from the cross country flights. I'm having
a blast. The show has been awesome. I'm gonna have
to get adjusted on these travel days because as I'm
spitting fire right now, I feel like I have been
talking for four days straight and there's been very little
sleeping going on. Have you done cross country cross international travel? Like,

(04:30):
because I might need a little guidance, And Taylor Swift
says like power through the jet lag, like I'm figuring
it out, dude, But like, I've got to get a
hold of this thing.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
I mean, I think the more you do it, you know,
then your your evenings will start to feel more like
a regular evening hopefully, and at some point. You know.
The great thing about California, I think, is there not
much going on, So you know, after a couple of weeks,
you'll have nothing to do out there, You'll go to
bed early. It'll be easy.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
We go back a couple of weeks. Can I kick
you through some of my travel journeys and we only
do this. This is not self centered. I do this
because my Travis Kelcey Kansas City Weekend cast got more
listens than anything that we did in interviewing Coordinator X
or Special Teams Coach B over the last few weeks.
Although those are some of my favorites. But let's start

(05:18):
July seventeenth and eighteenth, So let's go back two weeks.
I get on a plane on a Wednesday, and I
travel out to La to the glorious Terranea Resort which
is in Palace ver Days, California, and it's on the
cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean and it's one of my
favorite hotels and I get the honor to be there

(05:40):
for two days every year. And that's with Fox Sports,
my weekend employers and my longtime employers who I've written
for Fox Sports dot com and appeared on Fox Sports
one since two thousand and seven, So you go back
all those years. I am now entering I think year
seventeen with Fox and every year they invite anybody on

(06:00):
air who works on their NFL coverage to this terran
Air resort, which is beautiful and it's an off site
get away, and we're told no social media, which I respect,
no selpies, and nothing recorded from what goes on inside
the room. But now that we're a couple of weeks removed,
I think I can give the highlights of that weekend
and I can share that I arrived and you get

(06:23):
settled in your hotel room, and I immediately I'm like,
I'm going to walk these grounds a little bit, and
I'm like, you know what, I'm on East Coast time.
I've been working out a little bit. I'm going to
go to the gym. I go to the gym and
the first person I see is Michael Strahan in a
full lather, and I pulled stray aside, and it's like
the last thing he wants to do is with me.
But guess what you see, Schrager and Straighthan. You're seeing
two morning show hosts. We're going to talk about life,

(06:44):
but we're also going to talk about the incredible recovery
that is his daughter is making from what was a
very grave diagnosis earlier in the year. And I just
gave stray a hugg the first time I seen him
since the news came out that she's in recovery mode
right now. So it was cool to see him and
we talked a little bit, and I love Strahan, and
I think this is a key thing for any of

(07:06):
us in my side of the camera or any of
us behind the cameras. Like, I don't think Strayhan is
a single person in this world who has a negative
thing to say about him, and that might be the
goal for everybody. And I can tell you this, the
reason that Strahan is such a stud is, Yes, he's
great on air, and he's awesome on Good Morning America,
and he's fantastic on the Fox Sundays, But like, Strahan's
also great to everybody in the hair and makeup department.

(07:28):
Straight Han's also great to everybody that he deals with
who like books the travel straight Han's also great to
everyone at the top of the ORG chart to the
bottom of the ORG chart, and I think that's just
how he is. And I had a really cool opportunity
to be with Strahan in June. The Giants were celebrating
celebrating their one hundredth years a franchise, and I was
really honored and blessed to be asked to be a

(07:51):
part of the group that was going to mc the event.
So it was Bob Poppa, who's the voice of the Giants,
it was Sean O'Hara, who does a lot of the
in house stuff for the Giants and is a Giants legend,
and it was me and a lot of that was
on stage, and I got to interview day Bowl and
Joe Shane, which is it's in my wheelhouse. And I
got to speak to Pete Gogolak, who is the eighty

(08:11):
year old former kicker of the Giants. He spent nine
years at New York in the sixties and seventies. And
then I got a lot of time on set on
the stage there at the massive Square Garden Theater, interviewing
Keavon Thibodeau and Bobby Ocareki, who are two of their
defensive leaders. That's all cool. That's what you probably saw
if you ever saw it on YouTube or you're watched
any of the stuff online. The best part that was backstage,

(08:35):
and I got to witness some of the coolest interactions
between Lawrence Taylor and Michael Strahan, Strahan and Keevon Thibodeau,
Tiki Barber talking with you know, the current guys, and
then you of course you go back to the Legends
and it's Harry Carson and it's Carl Banks and everybody's backstage.
But I also liked watching how these guys interacted with
the fans because there was a lot of fan interaction

(08:57):
and of course Strahan, who doesn't need to do any
of this stuff, doesn't need the money and certainly doesn't
need the fame. It's taking selfies with every single person
out there. So Strahan and I were recap and all that.
But the big attraction at this Fox event was going
to be the unveiling of Tom Brady and how that
was going to go down straight. Hen and Brady obviously

(09:17):
have a great relationship going back to years and years
in the NFL, but also production projects that they've done together.
And I've seen straight Han interview Brady on Fox but
also for Good Morning America. I remember there was an
Eagles Patriots joint practice going on back when like Mark
Sanchez and Tim Tebow were on the Eagle. So you
do the math. And straight Hen came down and I

(09:39):
was down there for Fox Sports one long before Good
Morning Football. Straight Han came down all the way to
Philly and he did like a seven minute sit down
with Brady and I was like, I was like, all right,
these guys, these guys are boys. I think they do
a lot of work together with a Chopro's production company,
the two of them. I think it's called Revolution of Sport.
They have done a lot of stuff together. So I'm like,

(10:00):
these guys know each other. So I asked straight Han
that Saturday. That Wednesday, when I first got there, I'm like,
do you think he's going to be good? And he
looked at me and he's like, has Brady ever not
been good? Of Like, you're right, you're right, you're right.
But I didn't know if he was going to be
good at broadcasting. So Wednesday night there's this open cocktails
type deal. And again no social media, no posting, no tweeting.

(10:23):
I respect the hell out of it. That's the Fox way.
It's like, we don't need everyone else. This is what
we do. So I get in the little table and
I talk to Edelman and I talked to Gronk, and
then I'm off on the corner and I'm talking to
a guy named Jeff Miller. If you don't know Jeff Miller,
I think he's the man. He's also like the voice
of like health and safety for the NFL. He works

(10:43):
at the league office. He's been there for about eight
nine years, maybe longer than that. And Jeff comes on
Good Morning Football the time when there's a new rule
and he wants to talk about it or there's a
new helmet being introduced or something around the league's help
and safety. And a lot of times you would think
a segment like that is like ough, here's a league
employee coming on to the league network to talk about
new helmets, and it's like, you know, can you can

(11:05):
you write the message? And then Jeff comes on and
he's like normal and he's rational, and he's cool and
it's comfortable and the conversation's always really good. So I'm
just talking to Jeff because I'm fascinated about this new
you know, kickoff rule. And I was like, I spoke
to Bubba Ventrone on my podcast, who's a defensive coach,
you know, he's a special teams coordinator or the Browns,

(11:25):
and he said it's gonna and Jeff and I were
talking about it, and what Jeff was saying was like,
you know, beyond the health and safety of the kickoff rule,
like only twenty two percent of the kickoffs last year
were even returned, and in the Super Bowl there were
thirteen kickoffs, all of them went for touchback. So he's like,
based on like the XFL we saw forty five percent

(11:47):
of kicks returned, or the UFL, whatever the league was
where they saw this thing. And he's like, at that,
at the very least, if you don't want to think
it's a help and safety thing, you think it's ruining
the game. We're gonna get kickoffs again, and in a
year where Devin Hester is being honored to go to
the Hall of Fame, like, it's cool that was a
new kickoff rule that maybe we'll get kickoffs. So we're
knee deep in this thing, and then I feel this
presence like coming over. I'm like, holy, that's Tom Brady.

(12:11):
And Tom Brady isn't coming over because he's walking back.
Tom Brady's coming over to say hello to me. I'm like,
all right, So I get up shake Brady's hand, like
I give him his rest bag or whatever. And then
Jeff is there and I'm like, this is Jeff Miller
from the league, and Brady just like starts and he's like,
can you explain the hip hop the hip drop tackle,
and like how you're going to enforce that and why
we're enforcing that, And all of a sudden we were

(12:33):
in a twenty five minute conversation myself, the league's office
representative who discusses health and safety and who is going
to speak the next day at the Fox seminar to
explain some of the new rules and some of the
statistics behind it, and why we're changing the hip drop
tackle and how the hip drop tackle has led to
a twenty or twenty times increase over the last couple

(12:54):
of years of injury because of it, and Tom Brady,
who's the goat, who had thoughts and I said it
on Good Morning football, and I'll say it anywhere, like
based on this conversation that we were having, just three
of us, Like Brady's speaking his mind, and whereas the league,
you know, is often accused of like muzzling people or like,

(13:16):
I don't know if this is going to be unfiltered
and completely, like Brady has thoughts on the rules. Brady
has thoughts on some of the ways that the quarterbacks
are protected in this era and doesn't think they were
protecting maybe in his early years. And Brady has thoughts,
So I was blown away twenty five minutes like this
guy has takes. The next night, Brady's up there on

(13:36):
a panel and he's talking with straight hand, and Brady's
like amazing talking and straight Hand's asking, and Brady's like
unfiltered talking about some of the ways that like his
team played in the toughness and how Belichick prepared them
and toughness was the key, and how in this day
and age, like he's not sure necessarily toughness his first
and foremost for these days one of these teams, maybe
it's finesse, and like I want to go back to

(13:58):
those days. So long story short, Aaron Brady, first of all,
dedicated to this, like has been put in the hours.
What's the Malcolm Gladwell thing, ten thousand hours? He ain't
there yet, it might take a while, but he is committed.
This is not Tom Brady flying in doing games, flying out.
Like Brady has been putting in the work. And I've
spoken to Kevin Burkhart, spoken to Aaron Andrews, I spoke

(14:20):
to Tom Rinaldi, I spoke to rich russo Ch Richie Science.
He's the guys who are going to work with them
every week. Brady's putting the work in. So what's that mean?
I and Burkhart have done a ton of games together,
practice games, and they've come into the studio to do
it together. They've done it from a room where the
two of them are doing it, and like they're watching games.
And what I love, what I've been told is that

(14:40):
it's not like they had a chance to prep these
games beforehand, so they're watching games blindly. Yes, they've been
games that have already been played, and they might have
been broadcasted already, but like, all right, pretend like it's
fresh go and it's Brady and Burkhart. So we're about
a month away from the regular season opener, which is
gonna be Brown's versus Cowboys. But I believe we're gonna

(15:05):
see Brady on the CA with Burkehart in a preseason
game in a couple of weeks. And I think, and
I'm not trying to set the bar too high, and
this isn't like you know, he needs to hear this
or that Fox needs to hear this. I think he's
gonna be really good. And I think that when he talks,
people want to listen. And for all the praise and
awards and love that we have for Greg Olsen, greg

(15:26):
Olsen's still in the Fox family. He's gonna be doing
games with Joe Davis, and if you're watching the NFC
the second best game of the week, it's gonna be
Greg Olsen on it. Like you're still make get your
Greg Olsen, who we love hearing this podcast, and it's
gonna be awesome at whatever he does. But I think
Brady's gonna be different. And I think Brady's gonna be
good too. As we're less than you know, six weeks away.

(15:53):
When I tell you all that, like, what's your thoughts
on Brady the broadcast? They're going in as just a
fan who has no insight going into this thing.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
I guess like kind of like straight hand said, would
I expect any less from Brady? I I do love
the idea that he took this opportunity of like here's
this opening cocktail hour, no one's taking photos, be yourself,
you can get as sloppy as you want. And Brady
walks in is like, sit down, give me twenty five
minutes for going through this role, Like I don't know

(16:20):
enough about this. I want to hear your thoughts and
like tell me so that I can talk about this
tomorrow night, or I can talk about this three months
down the line. I love that. I mean, I you know,
I also love Olsen. He's been great on this show.
It's been great watching him on games, and it'll be
great that now there are two games with great announcers

(16:41):
going like you know, the more the merrier. I think
it's awesome. And I also, you know, it'll be so
cool to have Brady talking about teams he's played, players
he's played against, Like I can't wait for him to call,
you know, Mike Evans touchdown, like.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
Yeah, yeah, they're getting that number one game, but week seven,
it's nine ers cheap on Fox and Brady's on the call.
I mean, that's pretty badass, you know, that's really cool.
So that was the Brady part of it. At this thing,
I had a long conversation with Alex Rodriguez. He was
invited because he's boxed great also in attendance where of

(17:26):
course all the different NFL guys and Gronk and I
have a really interesting relationship going on right now. It
is expanding beyond our football work, where we text all
day about life, about New York. And Gronk embarrassed me Aaron,
and he did so in a way that I'm gonna

(17:46):
hear about this for a bit and I want to
put my foot down and correct it on my podcast.
So I texted Gronk after the White Party, I said,
give me all the gossip, give me all the juice.
I see you in all these pictures, like what do
you got harmless? He thought that was the thirstiest, most

(18:07):
pathetic thing in the world. And then he wrote back
to me, He's like, really, question Mark. I'm like, yes,
He goes, what type of quote unquote gossip are you
looking for? And I'm like, I don't know, give me anything,
Like who is there? What celebrities. He goes, really what celebrities.
So then we get to this thing and the table

(18:28):
is as decorated a table with football accolades as you
could imagine we're talking about, just like imagine a round table.
And it's Tom Brady, Michael Strahan, Howie Long, Julian Edelman,
Michael Vick, Arles Woodson was at the table. Yes, Mark

(18:51):
Sanchez is at the table, and Greg Olsen is at
the table. And there was one more luminary that I'm like, oh, oh,
Jonathan Vilma, who's like badass of all badasses. They're all
at this table and we're all just like off the
buffet line, hanging out on a giant like resort, you know,
table well, and Gronk comes over and in front of
all of them is like trigger, has anyone wanted anything

(19:15):
more than you want that invite to Michael Rubens White Party?
And I'm like, stop it, stop it right now now.
Three members at that table straight hand, Brady Gronk, We're
at the party. Edelman chimes in and says, I've been
invited three times. I've never had the opportunity to go.
Vic says he's been invited. Whinson says he's been invited,

(19:37):
and now Gronk is like, oh, it would be Sregger
would retire, and like it would be his dream. All
he wants to talk about is the White Party. And
I'm like, this obsession with the White Party, it is
not true. I don't want to be at the White Party.
I've said it on my podcast. I've said I promise
you I am not begging to go. The question is
would I go if I was invited? So I'm denial

(19:58):
on it, and then you know, Straighthand just pops in
and is like if I got you an invite, would
you go? And I was like no, and then they're
all like yeah, and I was like, I probably would go.
I think I would go, Aaron, would you go?

Speaker 2 (20:12):
I think if you if someone invites you to a party, uh,
you know, like if the host invites you and it's
a normal thing, you can say no. But if a
legend invites you to come with them, I kind of
thank you, got it?

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Like if Straighthn's like Sreggar, you're my plus one?

Speaker 2 (20:30):
Yeah, yeah that you don't want to disappoint straight hand,
you know, yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
Or like Gronk like leaves his his sports illustrated swimsuit
girlfriend Camille Costeck behind and says, shregar, you're my plus one?
Then I and and then do I get to pose
in the photos with Drake and and with a little
with and with who else? Kevin Hart and all the
NFL like look as a post with c J. Stroud
and Joe Burrow.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
You can hang out with Hard and he gets so
you know, and then you can text Gronk all the
gossip afterwards, although he'll be there too, but he'll be there.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
The rest of the evening was great. Roger Goodell was there,
had a really good conversation with him. But my MVP
of the weekend, my MVP of the weekend, the guy
who I had the most fun with and who I
see myself being lifelong friends with and I think we'll
have him on the podcast soon once the college football
season starts is Cooper Manning. Cooper Manning was hilarious, awesome

(21:26):
to talk ball with. And it is one of these
guys that's like in a way Forrest Gump, like you
could take a conversation anywhere and he has a touch
point for it. A he's the oldest Manning brother. He's
older than Peyton any Lie and has all of that
insight be his son Arch is the number one high
school recruit in the country and is going into another

(21:47):
year at Texas where he'll be a quarterback and hopefully
we'll see the field, or hopefully not if that's not
what they're looking for and they want quinn Ewers to
go the whole way, and next year it'll be the guy.
But also a very very very funny human being, like
accomplishing his own right from the business sense, was in
insurance for years, might still be, but also is one

(22:08):
of the key members of people who puts together the
graduate hotels which are now popping up on campuses everywhere,
basically an upscale hotel at like major college campus. So
for years you would travel to Ole Miss and it's
either get have to rent a house or you stay
in a courtyard by Marriott or like a holiday inn.

(22:29):
And Cooper and his investor's thoughts was like, why don't
we put up a nice hotel that families who want
to put stay in a nicer hotel, Like it's nothing crazy,
but it's a different version than the hotels that have
always been available. So there's a least an option to do,
so they've thirty seven of them right now. Hilton is
buying in on it like a massive find it Anyway,
I say all this because Cooper and I got put

(22:53):
together and we were just cracking each other up. I
think he's amazing, and I have so much insight on
a his son and the Texas stuff, but also what's
going on in the overall Manning world old from Cooper Manning.
One thing I did not realize is that like Eli
still lives in Jersey, Peyton lives in Denver, Cooper lives

(23:15):
in New Orleans, and these three guys are still in
like a text chain and talk every single day. I
feel like they need a reality show. If we haven't
had enough Manning brothers yet, I feel like Cooper needs
to be thrown in it because he is the eldest brother,
the funniest of the three, and in my eye, it's
like maybe the most interesting because we haven't gotten the
most out of Cooper Manning and he has this incredible

(23:36):
decorated life as always being like the other Manning brother,
but like in his own right is absolutely incredible. Do
you have a feel for Cooper Manning yet? I feel like.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
Only there's I forget what commercials they were, but the
Mannings were doing a set of commercials for a casino
or a betting app or something, and Cooper was in
them and was the funniest part of it as far like,
he played it up very very well. And despite like
having these two star studded brothers, Cooper was like he

(24:05):
was he was the best joke in the and that
that sounds like he's a joke. He was providing the
most hilarious moment in the pot in the in the commercial,
for sure.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
It's tremendous. And he's great. And I'll tell you he
does these weekly things for Fox NFL Kickoff, So you'll
see Cooper Manning on Fox NFL Kickoff. And they're little bits,
but I'll put them up against any of the stuff
that like we used to do with uh Calliendo or
Wriggle or what you see with Marshall, and I'm like,
they're good. So Cooper Manning and I we're having a
great time. We also we're part of a crazy travel

(24:38):
situation because that Friday, what's it called cyber World or
cyber strike or whatever.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
Oh yeah, yeah, what what was that thing?

Speaker 1 (24:46):
Yeah? Strike World? I don't know. So the we get
on a plane, Cooper Manning and eyes. We're both flying
back to New York. He's got business to take care of.
I'm going back to New York to my family. And
we get on the plane and we get all messled
in and we're taking a red Eye and it's Thursday
night or whatever it is, and the pilot comes on

(25:08):
and is like, folks, we're gonna be delayed a little
bit here, we're actually going to dplane. I'm like, oh,
that's not good. That's not good. You get off of
red Eye and you look and you didn't even get
off the runway, and you look at the Lax gate
and you see people starting to lay out their sweatshirts
as pillows because you might get rescheduled, you might not.

(25:31):
Cooper and I, fortunately enough, we're like, let's let's just
get out of here. We went back to the hotel.
We got on a different flight the next day, not
on the airline that was affected, and we escaped. And
I feel like he and I it was like escape
from La Cooper Manning and I always in coordination, taking
ubers at like two in the morning from Lax back

(25:52):
to Palas Verdes and another uber at like five am
from talis So Cooper Manning and I are forever length.
One of the key things that came out of that
whole Fox you know we call it a seminar, is

(26:13):
that the rules are changing and I you're gonna this
is gonna be dated because I think Thursday night at
the Hall of Fame game, you're gonna see the dynamic
kickoff rule. And I tried getting ahead of this with
having Bubba Vitron a couple of weeks ago, and if
you're listening to this podcast, go find that he explains
it all like it is going to be wild. The
response is and I think teams are gonna handle differently.

(26:34):
Some times are just gonna boot it out of the
end zone and say, you know what, touchback. I know
it's the thirty, but like we're gonna do a touchback
because I don't know how to defend this thing. Other
teams are gonna get super creative with it. I'm fascinating
to see the reaction. I think it will. It'll be
nuts tonight as they do the Hall of Fame game
because it's really different and I can go through all
the rules, but you'll fall asleep. But like just when
you visualize it in your head, know that there's not

(26:56):
a ton of footage of this thing. So teams have
been trying everything in practice, and special teams coaches have
been going, you know, hog wild. I talk to one
this week who's like, I've been up all night and
I've got about eight hundred ways to attack this kickoff.
Mike Tomlin said in a feature that we ran on
Good Morning Football that he contacted the guys at Madden

(27:21):
Electronic Arts and asked them to simulate a few different
schematics that he might have with the dynamic kicking rule,
and they came back with all this footage of like
Madden simulations of it. So I say all that, I
just think the kickoff rolls be crazy. And Walda Anderson,
who's kind of like the old Mike Pereira, Dean Blendino,

(27:43):
Al river On now doing that for the NFL. He
sit up there and answered a million questions at the
Fox thing from all the announcers, because the announcers with
an open Q and A are like, all right, can this happen?
Like are we gonna see this happen? It's just possible,
And he had all the answers. But like if guys
who call the games had a million questions, just wait
for the fans.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
That is going to be something to keep an eye on.
All right, So we fast forward. It's you know, a
couple days I have off say, all right, Football's coming back.
Good Morning Football's returning. Now I've never formally announced this.
I don't like doing formal announcements, but I am back
with Good Morning Football. And that was up in the
air for a bit whether or how we're going to

(28:20):
make this work. I said from the very beginning, I
don't plan on moving my family, but I want to
be a part of Good Morning Football. So we came
to an agreement the NFL Network and I that I
am going to do a bunch of shows in LA,
many of them being Mondays because I'm out there already
for Fox, and then I'm gonna do a bunch of
shows in New York. And the New York ones are

(28:43):
going to be from a studio, not from my house,
not from my basement, not from my garage, not from
a bed. And we're going to see how this works.
But Good Morning Football is a little different now, so
it starts instead of at seven am, It starts at
eight am Eastern. It's two hours on NFL Network. Then
it's going to reair on NFL Network. But then we
have this whole other thing going on, which I'm trying
to get used to, no break in between a fresh

(29:07):
two hours air and of a whole other show called
GMFB Overtime, which airs on Roku, not the NFL network, Roku,
which I'm getting the hang of because I don't. I
didn't know Roku before this deal happened, And now I'm
realizing I'm gonna be on the faces of Broku, which
is neat. But then starting with Week one of the
NFL season, it's gonna be on syndication in Fox local

(29:32):
markets across the country. This second two hours called GMFB Overtime.
All right, so we do two hours for NFL Network.
That's your usual meat and potatoes football show in house,
everyone knows it. Then the next two hours are going
to be a little looser, a little more I don't know,
what can I say, slice of life pop culture more,

(29:56):
let's say, less talking about the backup tight ends on
the Saints, and more talking about Joe Burrow's haircut, if
that makes sense, and our reactions to that, and that's
gonna air on like one hundred and nineteen different local markets.
Apparently that are any Fox marks like Fox Topeka, Fox Albuquerque,
all throughout the day in those local markets, and that

(30:18):
either airs for one hour or two hours, spending what
they want and you're saying, well, who's gonna watch that?
Apparently everyone bought this thing, and also apparently.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
Football wins like football sales, like people would rather watch
highlights of football, people talking about football and have the
NFL in the middle of the day than maybe a
daytime talk show or a court drama or.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
One of those judge shows. So I don't know, we'll see,
but that was what it was. So my deal is
I'm gonna be back and forth. It's gonna be interesting
to see how I hold up with it, but I
think I'm gonna be all right. And it's four hours,
not three, but you'll probably only see it for two
unless you're gonna watch two hours NFL Network and then

(31:02):
jump over to the ROKU or the syndication. So that's
my public service announcement. Oh and McCarty's no longer with us.
McCarty his contract was up and he was like, I'm
not moving my family out to LA for a show
that is at those hours. It just doesn't gel with
what we have. He's got everything out in New Jersey
and he's set and he's got other opportunities. So I
love Jason mccordy. I'm gonna him on the podcast because

(31:24):
that's my dog. He was incredible filling in for Nate.
But just as Jason filled in for Nate, we have
a new host, and it's Akbar who comes from American
Ninja Warrior and was with the NFL Network beforehand. And
then Jamie Erdall did make the move, so she's out there.
She's with her three kids and her husband. They're living
out in Manhattan Beach, so seems like it's kind of stable.

(31:45):
We're four episodes in. It's going really well. I'm really
pretty happy with how it all worked out. We'll see
where it goes all right, But now we had to
actually launch the show, so I, like Walter Jones, who
used to play for the Seattle Seahawks, said you'll see
me day one, Like, I don't need to be out
there for a week of rehearsals. Kyle went out there
for rehearsals. I didn't. I'm a cantankeris. I'm like, no,

(32:07):
I'll be in New York rehearsals and I'll get there
day one, which I did. But Sunday I arrived and
I'm like, do I go to sleep at five o'clock?
Do I go to sleep at six o'clock? Let's try
seven o'clock Sunday night. Well, I'm sitting there in my
hotel room and I'm staring at the ceiling, and I've
got all the nerves for the first day of school,

(32:27):
and I just stared at the ceiling till ten o'clock,
went to bed at one am Eastern, and woke up
at two forty five am for the show. We go,
We do the show. The show is tremendous, it's awesome.
I'm absolutely exhausted. Afterwards, we do a commercial shoot afterwards
Aaron where I don't even remember it. I don't even
remember it. It was like it felt like it was
just a blur, like we're all like posing and smiling

(32:49):
and fake laughing and doing all that stuff and that's
going to air on a commercial. And it was great.
But like, I'm so fried, So I go back to
the hotel room like I'm gonna work out I put
on my shorts, my T shirt, my gym sneakers, and
I fall asleep in my sneakers on the hotel bed
with like my legs dangling off. I crash for like

(33:10):
a forty five minute nap. But I wake up. I'm like,
where am I? What time is it? It's right out,
but I'm now like getting a second wind. And that's
when Andrew Whitworth texts me and says, you're in town.
You want to grab dinner? That's all I ever need? Yes,
I do. Where do you want to go? Whitworth says,

(33:32):
I'll pick you up. I'm like, what a gentleman. He's like,
where are you? I'm like Manhattan Beach. He says, that's
nowhere near where I am. I'm like, so, Whitworth, to
his credit, says, all right, I'm gonna change my day around.
He had two kids at camp, so he's like solo wall.

(33:52):
So he's like, I'm gonna go drop by rams camp
and then I'll come scoop you up afterwards and I'll
take you to one of my favorite spots. Like great
car pulls up. Andrew Whitworth in the car, opens up
the door. He is wearing shorts and a T shirt.
I'm wearing like a nice shirt, like a button down

(34:13):
and jeans because I don't know where we're going. And
he's like, have you been to the Soho House in Malibu?
I'm like, no, I put it into my phone out
of curiosity. Hour away. Great, just what I need to
know that I'm gonna have to be coming back an
hour from somewhere as I have to be up tomorrow
at two forty five am. We start driving out there

(34:34):
no traffic. He and I are chat and it's great.
I love this guy. We go to the Soho House
in Malibu. We meet up with his friend Tony, who
I've become friendly with over the years through Andrew. And
Tony knows McVeigh and mcveay his friends with him, and
Tony was at the McVeigh wedding, so we haven't Aaron.
This sounds really like social media, like elitists and all
this thing. Apparently this Hope, this no Noo Soho House

(35:01):
Malibu is like the most exclusive club in the world.
So you heard of the sow Whole House, which is
like an exclusive members only club which you have to
interview for and you can't even walk foot step foot
in unless you're a member. And they have that in
cities across the world, and it's like in Barcelona, and
it's in Miami, and there's multiple ones in New York,
and it's like it's this private members club, Like what

(35:23):
goes on? You have no idea. You're not allowed to
have cell phones in there either. Well you can get
into that, but that doesn't grant you access to this
Malible one. This Malibu one is like you have to
be a member of the Solo House, but then you
need to interview separately to be a part of the
Malibu One. So I don't know any of this. We
show up and I don't think I'm allowed to say

(35:45):
the celebrity, but every single table had a famous actor
or actress at it. And it just overlooks the Pacific Ocean.
And to like five hundred yards to your left is
the Nobu in Malibu, which is apparently like the hottest
restaurant in the world. And I was looking my nose,
like my nose was like looking down on the Nobu

(36:05):
because anyone off the street can walk in there, but
only we can walk in this thing. I say, all
this Whitworth is in there with like a T shirt
and shorts and is the most comfortable guy in the building.
He's six foot eighty, walks in. He's the man. He
knows everybody, And I'm like, what the hell is going
on right here? A minute ago, I was in my shoes,
asleep on a courtyard Marriott bed, looking at the stars

(36:28):
in the ceiling. Not only what time it was. I
didn't drink alcohol, just drank iced tea, but like an
hour into this amazing meal, I'm fading. So it's one
of those aeron where it's like, do you raise your
hand and leave or do you wait to see who's next?
Because Matt Damon or Clooney or Sidney Sweeney is gonna
walk into this restaurant next. And though I can't talk

(36:50):
to them, take a photo of them, or interact with them,
or even share that they were there, I'd like to
get my eyes on them and at least say I
saw them. I did the responsible thing exactly at seven
fifty nine pm, which was ten fifty nine pm on
the E. I've been up NonStop wire to wire. I

(37:10):
just called an uber and I said, if I get
an uber, it's gonna show up, and I'm gonna go
get the uber. I get in this uber, I say
goodbye to like the party of the century at this
Soho house, which again I don't even know if I'll
ever be able to set foot in again, because me
to not only know a member, but this member has
to also pass the test to be in the Malibu one.
I get in the uber, Aaron, I'm not kidding. The

(37:33):
uber said forty five minutes. I slept for forty four
minutes of those just was fast asleep. Get to the hotel,
go to the room. Alarm starts, boom two forty five
up to another show of Good Morning Football. And that's
when McVeigh texts me and is like, I see you're
in town. Why don't you come to rams practice again?

(37:55):
It's what do they say when you walk in a restaurant,
you order everything, your stomach is, your eyes are bigger
than your Yeah, this is me in La Dude. I'm like, yeah,
no doubt. When he's like, we don't start till four
forty so you have all day, I'm like, yeah, no, great,
sure enough. Midway through the day, I'm fading. I meet
a friend for lunch, okay, and I go to a

(38:16):
place called the Strand House in Manhattan Beach, which again
sick on the water, insane views great, but I'm fading early.
I haven't worked out once in these three days. I
plan on working out all three days. I haven't slept
at all. I planned on staying on these coast hours.
I didn't do that at all. Through that out the
window and then I planned. I'm like, if I'm going
to eat, I want to eat good. Well. We had

(38:38):
pizza and nachos and savice at this thing, and then
the night before I had some Maybe it is terrible,
just just just just just crushing my body, terrible stuff.
No Podell, I wanted to play Podell. No putdel. We
finished lunch. I get back. I'm like fading hard. I

(38:58):
go to Starbucks. I get a giant iced coffee, the Trent,
the size. I suck it down. I call an uber
and we're off to Loyola Marrymount University, home of Bo
Kimball and Hank Gathers many years ago. Rams have camp.
I get out the door of the Uber. I have
no idea where I'm walking. This guy with a RAMS
lanyard is there, and I'm like, dude, you know where
to go for practice? And he's like, sregger, good morning football.

(39:20):
I'm like, yes, celebrity famous, show me the way and
he's like, yeah, it's over there, So like just you
take a right, like whatever you gotta walk about to me,
I'm like, okay, no, that's not the guy. Find another guy,
another guy whose name I'm gonna shout out, Patrick Esposito,
who works in the marketing group, and he's like, I
got you. Patrick takes me on this long walk all
the way to the field, get to the field, and

(39:42):
Aaron I was like a kid in a candy store.
The coolest day. The Rams treated me amazing. But the
fact of the matter is, even if you're a fan
going to Rams camp, it's at this like smaller, quainter
like setup where you have to like get there. But
once you get to Loyola Marymount, they built this field
off the soccer field from what the what the soccer

(40:04):
teams is. They made a football field out of it,
and like the fans are right up there, right up
on it, and it's like it's not an eighty thousand
fan extravaganza. It's like I don't even want to give
a number, but I would say it's closer to like
five thousand to ten thousand fans there, and it's every
seat's a good one. The players are right there. I'm
watching Stafford sign of autographs. I'm watching Nakua sign autographs.

(40:25):
I get there, the first person I see is my guy,
Les Sneid, the GM who we had in the podcast.
He and I are talking for thirty minutes. We go
down the entire roster. We talk about everything we get.
I get my info from the rams and Less is
honest and brutally honest about all of it. I get
his thoughts on hard knocks about you know how it
went with Joe Shane, what his thoughts are. He didn't

(40:45):
watch it, he said, but he's like, if I were
to do it, and this is interesting, like I would
go all in also, and I think Joe was the
same way. Like if we're going to have the camera,
it's like, I'm not going to hide away and try
to not be myself. I'm gonna be my authentic self.
But this is when it gets cool. McVeigh comes up
and I'm like, all right, he's got practice to go.
They start. Mcvay's talking to me and practice is about
to start, and I'm like, no, you go do your job.
But he's asking me about how how Melon Betty you're doing.

(41:06):
I'm asking him now he's doing he was in the
French riviera for ten days. He's telling me about that.
But Sean, I got it. I gotta tell you, Like,
I think people are gonna like this sounds. So he's jacked,
like he spent the off season just like getting any
ridiculous shape and not losing weight. I'm talking putting on
muscle where he's absolutely like he looks like he's Dan

(41:28):
Campbell now, like he's completely jacked. So I think that's
gonna be something. Jimmy Garoppolo's on the team. I forgot that.
Jimmy Garoppolo comes running over, talk to him. Cooper Cup
is like the man. He comes over and talks to me.
Nakua and I speak. I spoke to Jared Verst, a
rookie who I'm really excited about. But then after practice,
after they had a really good practice, Stafford comes over
and like Stafford had time for me, Like I'm not

(41:50):
with a camera, I'm not with a recording device, like
he could have been like, oh what's up, dude.

Speaker 2 (41:54):
Hey.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
We talked for like fifteen minutes and he looks like
he's in really good shape. But here's the thing. He
looks like slim and trim and like mobile. I'm excited
for Stafford because what they did this offseason the Rams,
and this was by design. They signed Jonah Jackson, who's
gonna be out for a little bit. They signed Dots
in the Big Boy, and then they also drafted guys

(42:15):
on the offensive line, so like they're really big upfront
to protect Matthew Stafford, and I think they're really excited
about the run game. And now you get a healthy
Cooper Cup, a healthy Houka Nakua, and then like that
third wide receiver spot could be anyone from to two
at well to DeMarcus Robinson to this rookie Jordan Whittington,

(42:36):
who they're super excited about. Like this sounds me being hyperbolic,
and it's one of those where like you go to
one camp, you come out and you have a million takes,
like and I'll the Rams offense it's gonna be awesome
this year. Can the defense stop anym That's going to
be the key. But like my early pick for a
team that might score the most points in the league,
like mcvay's got to dialed in Stafford and Nicola really clicked.

(42:58):
Cup is healthy. They've got the run game. I love this,
kyn Williams, like, I think the Rams might have the
number one offense in the entire league this year. And
it's not just because I was a participant at practice
and got to meet the guys and talk to the coach.
I watched it. It's humming and it's August first, so
I'm super excited about the Rams. We went back to
the hotel afterwards. I had like I think, I got like,

(43:22):
you know, what's the right there. There's a little I
wish I knew the fast food place. I got like
fast food. I got like a grilled chicken sandwich. It
was delicious. I went to bed, woke up the next day,
and that brings us to here where I did the
show at two forty five am, wake up, took a flight,
came back, did the show this morning, and then we're
here Thursday, and I just was rambling on for forty

(43:43):
five minutes. But like those are like the whereabouts of
Peter Schreger. Why this podcast is what it is and
it's the season with Peter Schregar. But my Rams takeaways,
Nakula Cup healthy, Stafford looking in great shape. The offense
is going to be fire this year. If the defense
can stop anyone, they're going to be fine. And like

(44:04):
no one's talking about the Rams. Was about the Niners
and the Lions. But like the Rams, I don't know.
They were a surprise team last year. They bring everybody
basically back except for Aaron Donald, and I think the
offense is going to be haunted. I had a couple

(44:26):
other thoughts if I can give them, just to wrap
up the podcast. If you want three rapid fire thoughts,
you want to hear them.

Speaker 2 (44:32):
Boom, let's go.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
First off, Giants Hard Knocks. I did the podcast with them,
with those guys the NFL asked if I wanted to
do a podcast just like recap, like I thought it
was awesome. Did you watch the Giants five episodes of
Giants Hard Knocks off season? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (44:48):
Loved it, loved it. Probably my favorite off season content
maybe ever, Like.

Speaker 1 (44:56):
Honestly, I do my favorite Hard Knocks season. Yes, hunperbolic
because NFL Films takes such pride, and HUA takes such
pride and then we're like going in. I thought for
sure this was gonna be just roses and rainbows and
there'll be no conflict and we're not gonna learn anything.
It's just gonna be Look how great the Giants are,
and look how smart this draft pick was right out

(45:17):
of the gates. We have contentious stuff with Sakuan, which
I loved, and I think that's gonna be film that
we go back on for the entire season if he
blows up and is awesome. In Philly, they go through
their free agent process and it's like Robert Hunt is
one of our top free agents, and like we're really
targeting Robert Hunt and Christian Wilkins is one of our
top free agents, and like they didn't get those guys.
They went for him and did not get them. I

(45:37):
love that they actually showed it. And then they had
the three wide receivers in at the same time, and
it's like, we're gonna say on camera that like might
grow them wide receivers carded like Neighbors above Harrison, which
I don't know anybody else who had that, and then
you know, Shannon Dable pretty much back them up like
Neighbors before Harrison. That didn't end up being a Neighbor's
pick over Harrison. But if Harrison was still on the

(45:59):
board and Neighbors still the board, it looks like they
still were taking Neighbors. And the last part about it,
for all the talk we had of JJ mccarr going
to the Giants, and I had them there going in
my mock draft, the first mock draft I had changed
and I had mended in relative for all that talk,
he was never really a part of the equation. It
was they would trade up for Jaden Daniels, they would
trade up for Drake May. No one wanted to trade down,

(46:22):
or they would take Neighbors or Harrison and or brock Bowers,
which seemed to be a possibility if it came that way,
or a doone's day.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
So but that was close. That was my favorite part
where they were like, if one, two three goes this day,
we will go these choices, and if Neighbors is gone,
we will consider trading down to take Rome or Bowers.
But like I loved hearing them break down those first
ten picks because we all in the audience and the
media had gone through that ourselves of what's going to

(46:51):
happen one through ten, nobody goes and so it was
so enlightening to watch that. That was one of my
one of the highlights of the show for sure.

Speaker 1 (47:00):
And Aaron, what was cruel about it is we know
the result, Like we know they end up with neighbors,
but I would think going in like I don't really
care that much about like you know how they got there,
Yes they were, but along the way, you're like still
in your head, like whoo they might trade up for
Drake May Like you still are like in your head
like this might happen. So I thought it was great.

(47:20):
And they're going flipping the script and they're going right
to the Bears. And from what I'm told, there's someone
with Jonathan Owens right now as he's watching someone Biles
in Paris, and we've got the Hall of Fame game
and we got Caleb like I'm excited for hard knocks.
All right, move that to the side. That's one thing.
Second thing, all right, the second part of it. In

(47:40):
New York Giants are obviously a topic Jets, Jets Mania, Jets.
I will be at Jets camp on Monday, and I
will be at Giants camp on Tuesday, So we'll record
a pod maybe Wednesday or Tuesday afternoon, and I think
we'll recap my two days with those guys. My last

(48:02):
thing that I wanted to bring up, my last point
before we wrap for this week as we can all
of my personal travels out of the way. Is this
ongoing thing about the Cowboys and their fans not showing
up to ox nerd California. Now this is a small
sports media thing, but I saw McAfee talking about it
with Lombardi, I saw Jane Slater way and so the

(48:24):
Cowboys have always practiced out in Oxnard, California for training camp,
and this year attendance numbers have been sparse, and a
lot of the initial reaction is that it's, you know,
people are over the Cowboys. They lost to Green Bay.
They don't have Dak resign, they don't have CD Lamb resigned,
they don't have Micah Parsons resign, and like people are
over it, and Cowboys fans are like, unless you sign

(48:46):
those guys, We're not going to go and spend all
this money to go travel out to training camp. That's
been the media take, and I respect it, and a
lot of that might be true. I'm just gonna give
you an alternative take on this, and it might be
a little bit more Pro League or pro you know
the other teams, and maybe I'm just drinking that California
swee sweet California water. The Rams had a really, really

(49:10):
good season last year. They have a really good team.
They have gone to the playoffs in five the last
six years. Their fan experience at training camp was freaking
awesome when I went, and it's in Manhattan Beach, not Oxnard.
If you're in Los Angeles and you need a football
fix and you're not one of these Cowboys crazies, like

(49:31):
I think you might want to just support the home team,
like yes back in the day, going to Oxtar to
the thing because there wasn't football in LA, and there
wasn't a good team in LA, and it was like,
here's our one glimpse of NFL football. It's the Cowboys
out in Oxnar, which has been an hour away from LA,
and it's like, I'm gonna go and sit in one
hundred degree heat because I want to see Terrell Owens

(49:51):
or I want to see Tony Romo and it's like
my one opportunity to see football this year. Not only
are the Rams a relevant team, You've got Harbaugh and
the Chargers now who are having practices right there in
like Manhattan Beach at the Bolt, which their new facility,
which is supposed to be insane. My colleige Kyle Brandt went.
And then the Saints are also in La there at

(50:15):
you see Irvine, I believe, and they're practicing at where
the Rams used to do their training camp. So you
have three other options than the Cowboys. And yeah, maybe
the lusters off the Cowboys a little bit, but they're
still going to be a favorite in the NFC East.
They're still gonna be a Super Bowl pick for a
lot of teams, a lot of people in the media.
But like it used to be the only show in
town out in LA. My argument is that maybe the

(50:37):
numbers are down because A it's not as convenient as
these other places. B. The Rams and Chargers are like
really relevant teams. And see the Saints are there too,
so I can't get as worked up about the Cowboys
not having the attendance numbers they used to. Is the
luster off the Star, I don't know. We'll see in
the regular season. I'm pretty sure they're gonna be the
hottest team and the team that we're talking about the most.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
All right, So later the season, We're gonna do an
episode live from Soho House mal with Cooper Manning and uh,
we'll debate whether or not cowboys are are still in
it or not.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
Quick note, as I'm at that Soho House Malibu, which
I don't know geography of LA. It's far from everything,
but it's up the Pacific Coast Highway also known as
the p H. There was a giant cowboys bus parked
in front of Nobu in Malibu, and that's where Stephen
and Jerry Jones are having dinner. And that's where the

(51:34):
cowboys brass. That's how they travel. They drive in a
huge bus and they just parked it in front of Nobu,
which is like the hottest restaurant. So the cowboys were there.
Don't worry.

Speaker 2 (51:44):
How did you get in? So as long as someone you're.

Speaker 1 (51:47):
With is.

Speaker 2 (51:51):
Yeah, we we just got to get you a membership
and then I can come in with you. That's absolutely
That's something LA like. I'm going to be there a lot.
Do I go for it all? Do I try to
be a member of a golf club? Do I try
to be a member of Soho House?

Speaker 1 (52:06):
I start hanging around at all these fancy restaurants, So
I have to have lunch. Do you want to do
lunch at the Ivy? Do I say, that's still the place,
the Ivy, that was the place forever. But like I
don't know, do I go all in and lean in
on the la or do I roll with like you know,
the collect the marryout points and be smart and be
frugal and just get in and get out. What would
you say? What's more entertaining for the podcast?

Speaker 2 (52:26):
Does Soho House have a padel court?

Speaker 1 (52:28):
No, but they should, Like the lack of padel in
La is actually criminal. There's one in Silver Lake, which
is probably where you would live because it's the hipster
part of of California and it's more like Mark Marin Roles,
But there's no padel in like La Proper, which is
like just ridiculous. One atrocity.

Speaker 2 (52:47):
Maybe you get in like you're the business partner to
start padel at Soho House. You start bringing it up there.
I know places in San Diego, like I said with
my friend Chris, but yeah, I haven't played it in
La at all. You might be this might be the
side gig. You know, you have plenty of time for us.

Speaker 1 (53:04):
We're gonna play in Brooklyn. I wonder if we can
do pod from Padel House in Brooklyn. We bring the
equipment and just have like the snacking of the ball
against the wall in the background, and I was.

Speaker 2 (53:12):
Just like, I played tennis with my mom this morning.
How do you do that?

Speaker 1 (53:16):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (53:16):
I got my ass kicks?

Speaker 1 (53:17):
Yeah? Is good? So good?

Speaker 2 (53:19):
Yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (53:20):
When you say you're your ass kick, we're talking like
six two, six to one. Like what are we talking?

Speaker 2 (53:23):
She just ram me all over the court.

Speaker 1 (53:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (53:27):
She was like yeah. She's like, uh, you got to
be a little more consistent and you'll get better.

Speaker 1 (53:32):
And I was like, thank thanks for the tip. I
don't get to play every day at work. All right,
that's the pod tonight. There's gonna be a Hall of
Fame game. You're going to react. I think there's football
over the weekend. There might not be. There's practices for sure,
and then next week we'll have recaps from Jets and Giants.
If you're not in New York, you could just skip
that podcast. That's probably what the topic is going to
be for Aaron wand Kaufman, for all the folks in LA,

(53:55):
for all the folks in New York, for the ioheart team,
for for everybody involved. Thank you for listening, and I'll
have more fun, fabulous stories from my travels and the
months that come. The Season with Peter Schrager is a
