with them.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
What was the question I've been communicating on myself.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
And they were like, they were like, we don't think

I went ahead and I pulled the trigger and answer.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
Use you went to the back of the math book
to say, if you have to answer that.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
You're the weirdest hybrid of failure to launch and happily
married that I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Yeah, you should be steadied. I'm not gonna lie. Every
time thing was like, this is now, this is one
of one.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Beautiful in its own unique.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Yeah, feather, Oh, absolutely absolutely proud of you.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Let's go right off on that positivity.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Let's talk college football.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
Let's go let's go great games.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Dan, you want to talking about being sad first? I was,
I mean, I mean because it wasn't a sad weekend
because you were at a wedding during the Georgia.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Okay, can we talk about this? And and I love
you so much.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Congrats brother, friend of the show.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Congrats, congrass. Yeah. I text them they welcome and I said,
don't make her maybe just to be silly.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
And just have that pop up on that.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I love that.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
I took up like a day and a half to
give back because like, I don't know, he's done stuff
before that.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
I'm not weird. How do I make this the most awkward?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
It was an awesome wedding.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Yeah, don't don't schedule weddings on football games.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
I think you need it.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
There's a there's a short short list, short list of
people that I was would have skipped that game.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Dang, that's real.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
I'm just realizing that for you, realizing I was a
real love you now.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
He apologized instantly when he like when he scheduled the wedding.
I think I was probably a phone call number five
or six where he was like after the Grim's mean,
I probably was like the next phone called to be like, hey,
this is when my wedding's happening.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I'm sorry, and I was like, you know I'm gonna
be there.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Yeah, I'm real mad. Yeah, but you kind of needed that.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Honestly. What happened was is I missed the twenty eight
to nothing wrong.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Yeah, oh, and didn't see any of that live. Now
I've obviously gone back and like been like, what in
the absolute hell happened? And then I got to catch
the like what I thought we were going to do?
I mean Honestly, it felt like the reverse of the
of the National Championship in like twenty nineteen, where we
(08:24):
were up three, two touchdowns, maybe seventeen points on them
going to halftime, flip quarterbacks and like they come roaring
back again and yep, and I thought we were gonna
do it and truly should have done it.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Let's be closed. Should have.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
You got to put should have and transparently, seventeen year old,
I'm not gonna sit here, like you can tell Kirby's
not mad. What at the end of the day, the
twelve team playoffs makes us coming back in that game
like close to a reasonable outcome. Now the margin for
(09:04):
air going forward is slim.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I think that.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
I think Carson be Back found out he had. He
needs to sling that ball and he needs to stop
worrying about trying to be a heisman.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I think he realized that Brock and Ladd are not
there no more.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
He found out, really, but he's got a real one
and Dan Bell and and there are some other decent
weapons around him, and he needs to throw that ball
into tight spaces and stop worrying about he.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Got he had happy feet.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Somebody hit him at halftime and say, hey man, we're
gonna take that lamb bow back. You keep playing like
your stock is dropping. I'm sitting there watching. I was like,
this does not look like a first round quarterback. This
is one of the worst quarterbacks George had on a
long time. And then he was like, oh, yeall about
to take the lambo back.
Speaker 6 (09:48):
You watch the whole game.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
I watched, Yeah, yeah, I think I.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Do it and didn't come and they woke up game right.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
I just wanted to say, I was surprised.
Speaker 8 (10:00):
How good?
Speaker 6 (10:00):
Uh that was the first time was watching Bama this year.
Jalen looked mill Row right, because last year, if you remember,
in the playoffs, it was like, oh, okay, I kind
of I kind of see at that moment in time,
what type.
Speaker 7 (10:11):
Of quarterback he'll be my guy? And I was looking
at some other stats whatever, It's like, oh he oh.
The development over the summer was legit, and so from
Washington coach right, Washington Panix, you know what it is.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
And so so that was just watching the game.
Speaker 7 (10:27):
As a as a neutral, saying lover or whatever sports whatever.
But then you know, William seventeen out here and still
with behind it.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
What you want to be like the reverse of what
you know, what's the rules?
Speaker 6 (10:41):
What are the rules supposed to be a senior like
when you make when you make teammates running to each other,
you just make people running to each other.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Yeah, they didn't. They didn't skip the beat, uh missing
saving They didn't look like they missed him at all.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Here's why I disagree. There was moments when you cut
to Alabama's coach and he saving that. He's like, yo,
he like you see killing his eyes.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
It was like.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
If Alabama, if Alabama is up twenty eight, twenty eight
to three or whatever it was at halftime, that game
ends sixty five to ten, They're coming harder, they like
it is. We're gonna We're not gonna beat them. We
are going to end. Yeah, their hope smart at Georgia. Yeah,
now we're playing for hope.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
We fina take on the other side of the stadium.
Were gonna take them too.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
So I think George Georgia wins by fighting through fighting
the game.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
It's a way.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
There's a lot of like silver lions. Now, did I
want to win?
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (11:41):
Do I think that Georgia is still probably overrated? Let
me say this clearly, to a camera. Yes, I think
they're going to. I say, at the beginning of the season,
it would be great if we get out of this
with only two losses.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Which is it.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
At the beginning of the season, he said.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
That, So here we are we Please Carson Beck, just
play like you did in the second half.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
It been for arch mannon He said, Oh.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
Archie R say, Quinn, you better not be hurt, big dog.
I got you, I got you so.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Uh but really, what I'm really sad about is the
Cowboys really just are the most atrocious.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Good, we'll get there in the bit. We'll get We'll
get to the big dogs in a minute.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Yeah, we want to talk the U the U n
L V N I L guy all right, So Matthews,
Matthew Sluka their quarterback. Uh, he was a starting quarterback
there under U n V is undefeated time according to
ESPN College Football. He said, I committed to UNLV based
on certain representations that were which were not upheld. After
(12:41):
I enrolled and said I am done playing this season
red shirt.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
From when I heard they said on hundred thousand, he
got like three.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
He said, where's the rest of the money? Yeah, they
said money. So he said, cool, I'm done.
Speaker 7 (12:57):
To be clear, this also wasn't the head coach, just
wasn't the school director who guaranteed this is like an
assistant uh tier two tier.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
Three, but somebody who had authority to say yeah, tier
two tier three representation on the total poll.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
But it was never in writing.
Speaker 7 (13:13):
Never in writing, never signed. It was a verbal handshake.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
While this isn't the day of the bag where it's like,
here's what we're gonna promise you. We're gonna leave it
on a bag on your mom's like doorstep, this is
the world. Here's a contract, here's what we want from you,
Here is what you need to do, and.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
This is the amount of money you order to see.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
This man hoped and dreamed his way to one hundred
thousand dollars and didn't ever stop to ask.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Am I worth a hundred thousand dollars?
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Because the answer to that question is no interesting worth
one hundred thousand dollars?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
So I have a different take. Okay, I do agree,
you got if.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
Taking on what is he's worth a hundred thousand?
Speaker 3 (13:54):
No, that that's people are who knows what anybody's worth?
These days?
Speaker 6 (13:58):
You're worth what the market is actually yes.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Sometimes you're not and sometimes you're not.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
You can't get right.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
My my issue with I take issue obviously the kids
should have got something signed and writer right, So my
issue everybody, you can't absolve you know if there are
problems with this, right because if somebody was authority said hey,
we gonna get your hundred thousands, and you don't get
the hundred thousands, no one wants to come play for
you now right right, No one wants like you're not
a person of your word, whether or not it was
(14:28):
said or not, and people are like, oh, you should
keep playing. He let his team down. Hey man, y'all
made it a business. Y'all made it a business. So
even if I don't get the hundred thousand, what I
can't do is let you play in my face with
three thousand. If we're gonna make it business and we're
gonna be about people getting their money, you gotta be hey,
if you're not about your money, I gotta be okay.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
To walk I don't have no allegiance to you.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
You won't care about me. In a year or two,
I'll walk away these hey locker room guys.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Hey, man was goodting on y'all. Man, hit me on snap,
I'm out.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
I'm gonna take my three thousand dollars. I want to
take this and by this used prob dropped back home
or whatever it is. But I'm for listen, I'm for
these these these youth getting this money and being okay
walking away.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
We're in a new generation and right now we're still
in the wall wall west of n I L.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
But just to be clear, like we know one thinks
that next season someone showing up with a check for
this man.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
Oh at that same school.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Definitely, Yeah, I don't know. I also don't know the rate.
I don't know what quarterbacks are getting for once, I
don't really know.
Speaker 7 (15:30):
I mean they're getting from uh where you're just to
my pound for pound and totality.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Yeah, like what's the average? One hundred thousands is a
crazy number. You got people that are a number right.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
You're doing the meals, you know what I'm saying. And
then you got cats in the in the six digits.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Know what I'm saying. I imagine one hundred thousand is
not crazy number.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
No bottom that's lower.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
So even though you say he's not worth it, the
team wasn't defeated and it's still in defeatd with with
without him, I don't know if the team there's.
Speaker 7 (15:56):
Another person behind me. That's why I'm gonna take my
jersey and get out. Yeah, I'm gonna say this.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
I'm not playing either.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Okay, off to Power five is on average five hundred
thousand dollars to eight hundred thousand eight.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
Honey, I'm actually kind.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I was saying, guys.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
That's what I'm trying to say, is like this man
getting anything should should have been like, oh, I agree,
and the screws their program.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Yeah, we're on the same page there.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
Yeah, but a quarterback of this caliber, it should have
been like, I'm this doesn't check all the but this
has to be true, Like I'm not, like I shouldn't
be getting anything right now.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Next year, in my opinion, he's the starting quarterback for
un l V. Go put up some numbers and then
and try to get yourself on a practice squad in
the NFL, because no one's coming with the bet is made.
You trusted the wrong people. They did what they did.
All you can do now is go out and put
up numbers and try to get on a product for
(17:00):
in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
I'm ashman.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Oh no, he's a senior.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I wrote you down.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I hear you.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
There's no way you tell me I'm getting a hundred thousand.
I only get three thousand, and I'm walking that locker
room just like I'm about to work.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Nah no you play. Oh no, no you're not.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
You played so much in my fam can do that
with three thousand, because I don't think you expect me
as a human being at this point a.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Hundred thousand and three.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
If it's like, yo, you're doing falling right, You're going
fouling in December. Yeah, And then that's like, actually we're
gonna put you outside by a hot dog.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Yeah you're doing Yeah, you're doing a filing commercial where
you slip on a banana falace behind and the FALON sign.
I'm like, I'm good like you lie.
Speaker 8 (17:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
And that's a bit in.
Speaker 7 (17:37):
The big I thought he was a true freshman or
something like that. Okay, well that's a different piece because
I was like, what my what my dad? If I'm eighteen,
mission and no way mission for the being this meeting
by himself without you know what I'm saying like chit
chat and talking about things like this. You go ahead,
but I'm just saying senior context matters out here, twenty two,
twenty three, et cetera, et cetera. And this ain't the
first year of n I L and has been happening
(17:57):
for two to four, three five years, So we got
to have the more war with thoughts.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
You know, if he just looks bad though, that's what
I'm saying. Fact people are making it like the kid is.
I'm not saying that he did it.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
He crossed all the boxes, right, yeah, you know whatever,
But you look bad.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
Another player set out too.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
If it's one hundred with another starter, Uh yeah, time, yeah,
Now you look bad if you say we got a
hundred thousand, we don't have one hundred thousand for our quarterback.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Nobody gonna play there.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
Also out the names. You know what I'm saying, Let's
go ahead and say whoever hears her name was, who
told you?
Speaker 7 (18:26):
Consequences mouth? You told me I was getting a hundred grand?
He told me that can.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
I'm gonna change the topic. Go ahead, because but it's
still college football, all right. So this is something I've
started thinking about. Everyone knows I'm a diehard Georgia fan.
It has defined my life must have said this day,
you want to be careful. Is going to u G
like I mean, it has been one of the definant,
Like it is what I spend money on. Is what
I spent time on, Like it is my team like
(18:53):
the rest of my like are cool, this is something
that like this is like this when we won the
first national talk about it, but oh yeah, I expect it.
I'm starting to think that you age out of college football.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
Okay, clarify what that means, because that's a big sentence.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
I think that when I was at Georgia, I was
friends with the player, like I ran with the players.
I like, I went to that university. I participated in
all of the culture and all the things and all
the traditions, and you know, was at every game as
a student painted up.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Actually I believe at and I know there are pictures there.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
Pictures, There are pictures. Unfortunately, please don't go find it.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
Please see what type of paint was on Dan Ducky.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
But I'm now thirty seven. You have three kids. I
want my son to grow up and my daughters to
grow up. They already love Georgia football.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
So there's like that piece to it that's fun.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
But I'm I'm no longer like friends with these players,
like and in fact, like I'm starting to get to
the point where I could be their parents.
Speaker 6 (20:07):
And then in the if you Will Loose in early
two thousands, yeah, Alabama.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Yeah, there's some missionary kids out there. Yeah, they're like,
you don't have to be you don't have to be loose.
There's some Christians.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
College football is starting to creep into the minor league
NFL like world in my brain and while I still
love that university and like this is when I tried
to quit, you know, being a Cowboys fan. Like I'm
sure like it's still going to be definitively like my
my team and what I care about.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
I'm gonna follow them most closely.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
I just don't know that I can give quite as
much of my like my life, my saturdays, to the
ins and out of these like of these like seventeen
year oldseen year olds, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Starting to feel I'm starting to feel weird about that.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
I'm gonna tell you what's happened, what's happening to day,
because there's other people your age that are like die hard,
and all you're saying is you have a life.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Where these other dudes.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Be at the game still painting up with a freshman,
be like, let me brothers up your pain and they
be painting up and it'd be like a seventeen year
old kid. Eighteen year old kid, and it's like, Hey,
I love y'all, but I have a wife. Hey, I
have a life. I'm doing stuff with my life. I
can't give this to y'all. So this lett has been
listening to you forty year old fans and still paying
your stuff. And then get some gumpture about yourself. Do
(21:28):
something else, find something else doing Saturdays. Man, take your
kids to the park, have a good time with your wife,
do anything else. Just get your mind off of this
because it's too many. Like, dang, your tears is real
because you went there. Some of y'all ain't go to
this school.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
Nothing.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
No y'all was crying on Saturday and your kids is like,
but daddy, you never told me you were proud.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Of me, Like like that type of.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Energy is happening, and I'm saying, man, be more like Dan,
is what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
If you're a Georgia fan, be more like Dan. Some'all
are weird.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
I want to get I want to get my kids
the fanship and all of those things. But I'm I
think it is the wins and losses are starting to
like mean less to me at this point in time.
Like I still want him to win, but like I
used to like barricade myself after Georgia.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Now I went four years without having to deal with one.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
So this is the first I was about to say,
here's my question. If Georgia does not have the success,
do you feel this peace with back? You know, way
they don't have any national championships? Are you still going
I'm at peace.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
I think it's I think it's it's different. I think
it's fair to I think it's fair question. I think
it's different, But I think it's still a like I
can't like, I hope we win a national championship, but again,
I'm not going to watch game day, watch the predictions,
watch the game, watch the other games of the competitors.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Like dude, I used to like.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Pretend in my brain scout this world things right, which
is so sad to say this out loud, but but
and like I'm I'm becoming more and more interested in
like being down the street from the Falcons and this
is where like I'm still gonna be a Cowboys fan.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I'm not.
Speaker 5 (23:07):
I'm not jumping off the bandwagon I want, but I
like the Falcons played down the street from me.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Yeah, five six times a year, seven times a year.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Like that's what I should be pushing Jason, Like, if
we want to like root for a team, that's what
I should be like pushing him for towards he gets
to experience that live. And I'm sitting here watching Georgia
or the Cowboys and like, instead, I'm starting to be like, man,
live sports is where it's at if you want to
fall in love with the team, fall in love with your.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
City, and I will say, I feel like you'll still
give him that, like, hey we're going to Athens.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Yeah, yeah, college football. The pageantry at college football is different. True,
there's just now how.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
Long that lasts?
Speaker 2 (23:56):
The giant question mark at this point.
Speaker 7 (23:59):
Was just gonna say in general, this this this bigger
picture of like loving something so much, you know, for men,
from women, for anybody, whether it's video games, whether it's fashion,
whether it's sports, because this is one of the things
this topic right here is reminding me of a post
I saw the other day. It was like, men will
fall in love with a sports team at nine and
(24:21):
it will have their life in shambles for the next
forty five years. And it is this given and take
of sports is just the thing for that person you've got.
Whatever it is for you is over here. Wherever it
is for me is over here. Maybe it's a celebrity.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
Then you find out they were an adulter in your
world is shambles. Maybe it was politics. Maybe it's really
whatever it is up there. You know what I'm saying.
Everybody's got it.
Speaker 7 (24:44):
Sports is different, but that's different here, right, And it
can take the money in the time, but it's still
that essence of it can make a break a day
type of line.
Speaker 6 (24:51):
Right when people saw the new Chappelle for twenty twenty,
it's like, oh no, my legend.
Speaker 7 (24:56):
Yeah you know ah right, yeah, I don't know, put
on killing me softly.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
I was like, go back to the old Kanye. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (25:05):
So it's just it's just a fascinating thought about with age, responsibilities, preferences, time,
all those things.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
It has to your fandom has to change and hey,
are you talking to yourself now?
Speaker 1 (25:17):
As you get older?
Speaker 2 (25:19):
What did we just here?
Speaker 1 (25:20):
No?
Speaker 4 (25:21):
No, no, because I want to because I want to be
we've kind of shoot this conversation wed you brought it up.
I want because we're really talking to you, and so
I want to know do.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
You feel well?
Speaker 6 (25:30):
Clarify fandom has to change.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Well, like, yeah, you can't. I think body paint is done,
should be once you're out of your like early twenties,
just to be just.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
To be clear, just to be clear, I only ever
did it when I was at Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Yeah, I think I think that. I think, you know,
I think like you go to NFL games and you
see guys like way too dressed up, and you're just like,
I don't.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Know what that means to you. You're too dressed up.
Definitely from my too dressed up at a sporting event,
you would wear the jersey to the sporting event.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Yeah, you don't wear the jersey to the sporting not
it's too dressed up. That's too dressed up.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
I don't play, I'm not I don't have a bat
of football. I don't play.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Yeah, but you're not wearing the jersey because you're playing.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
If you if you pick an album, if if.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
I care for them, that is my support. They don't
even I don't think you. I think you care, but
you're wearing the jersey. Yeah, you believe in me. Like,
that's not a thing I think that they think or
see depending on where you buy your tickets. So you know,
like I can get a brain it does.
Speaker 6 (26:34):
Oh, that would go okay.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
What is the K?
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Look at the we spelled something that day.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
What is it? Georgia bulldog?
Speaker 2 (26:45):
There's probably another picture if you go back, you can't.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Explain that K. You've got to spell something quick.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Dan, if anything.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
I had hair back then too, focusing on the hair, Dan,
something I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
All right, let me go all right, it wasn't I
guess it was what it was trying to say.
Speaker 8 (27:13):
Just say, you weren't standing next to any other case
to your left and right there were.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Other Probably not. There's probably not.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
Probably.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
I mean you're not as confident that needs you to
be right now anywhere. That is a weird letter to
have it, just like, hey, watch out, you're still over there.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Hey you over there. We got to separate.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
It's like the guy who brings like the case to
the baseball game for strikeouts. You gotta stay very close
to the study.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Nate. If there's one.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
Is there one team that like emotionally still defines you.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
I can't quit any of my teams.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
It's not quit, we just need you to Your teams
are confusing because George is kind of your team, but
not a team Georgia.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
I would say, I am a Georgia well wisher. Okay,
I wish for their success. I pulled for them.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
That's how I feel about the Falcons costumes and everything goes.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Yeah, yeah, Georgia grew up watching them.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
Okay, So on Sunday when what's his name? Kirk No,
the kicker, young Way, Young Way, coup? What's it the
longest field? Did you lose your mind where you like
jump up and down?
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Or are you still two seconds left?
Speaker 6 (28:29):
Atlanta at Trump?
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Yeah, you got trauma. Got trauma. That's what we're trying
to break you from.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Like I would, got to have a moment that breaks.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
Now, you gotta have a moment to break in order
to reach that level of fan of your you're hoping
to other people to be broken.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Cried during a victory.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
The World Series.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
Okay, all right, are the Braves like I mean, because
I can rank even across sports, like the team I
give most of my time effort, like what I'm tracking,
what I'm paying attention to. My YouTube algorithm could probably
tell you guys about me, which which team are you. Also,
(29:08):
he's sitting at home during his mechanics showing or the
maintenance person showing up, So your algorithm is probably what's.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
What's up here? Like you don't know, I think it's
I think it's okay. You're gonna say the way you
used to tweet them.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
I was like, for somebody you tweet so much about
West Virginia to for not to be up here, like
you either you need to care more or stop care.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
It's weird to be and.
Speaker 7 (29:34):
You get upset when we confidently say you're not from
the South, but then you still try to hold on
to these Northern Yankee way.
Speaker 6 (29:40):
You gotta like a sad bro. You know, you gotta
get yourself to get the.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Salon you need to be.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
It's like I'm almost like, I'm like amazing how much
you don't break when all these sports like every ill
I used to I used to be a bigger sports fan.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
I'm always broken. That's my secret.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Like the hugs, I'm always angry.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
There's always like there's no there's nothing to break, bro.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Noah, bro, you gotta be real broke like I remember
the moment I used to be like, yo, I'm a
big Georgia fan, and remember the moment when I think
it probably was I don't know, maybe twenty nineteen, probably
was before that for being honest, for I go, these
are children. They don't rule my life, and they will
not hurt me again.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
One of the one of the.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Defeats between one of the probably twenty sixteen and I
think it was twenty sixteen. Was it twenty sixteen, something
happened twenty sixtixteen.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
Twenty sixteen, I probably thinking twenty thirty was, yes, that
probably that was it.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
One hundred percent. Oh man.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
I was like, y'all won't hurt I remember I literally
said to the TV, You're not gonna hurt me again,
and then I was I was broken to him.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
I was like, I'm good, I can cheer you on.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
And also of honestly being around you more dance like
he went there day you can't care as much as
so I was just like, yeah, oh good.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
I can have fun on Saturdays now.
Speaker 6 (30:51):
I hang out, I can watch the game Sundays.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Still a little I went to an army. My son's
godfather is he's a professor at the Naval Academy, and
we went up there to a navy, to a navy.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
They played, they played somebody.
Speaker 5 (31:07):
Okay, bro, I've never I've never checked this, never had
so much fun at a college football game, Oh bet.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Because I was just you were.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
They had a lawn that you were like, like Jase
was hanging around throwing the football.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
I'm watching some football. I'm eating a hot dog. I'm
like this, people live freedom.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
I was like, I've been side just free.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
And then I throw myself right back.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
All the time.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
I'll be you don't want it bad enough.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
I'll be sitting there like thinking, there's so many people
that aren't sad. There's so many people that just watch
this and go, oh well.
Speaker 7 (31:51):
I watched the game of the kids because I've been
watching them on football with them in sports in general
since the Olympics, and I was like.
Speaker 6 (31:57):
Yeah, do you care?
Speaker 7 (31:58):
Who really was like I don't care, Yeah, I really
don't care. And I was like, okay, well let's go
for the blue team. I said, let's go for the
blue team. Did the only geography lessons?
Speaker 6 (32:07):
Well, this is insane.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Only downside And this is why sports gets you. Only
downside is when you don't invest right. When they do
get to the mountaintop, it doesn't feel as good, and
you do get to watch other people like, wow, they're
so much happier than me.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
That's like, why are you going back and watching the
beginning part of this game where we just got our
but looked and I was like, because this is the
price I pay, Like because because I don't get If
you don't go through the like the worst part of this,
then once you get to the winning part of this,
(32:44):
you don't get to play.
Speaker 7 (32:45):
And there's also three levels of PTSD I got. I
want you how to be free of it? I want
you how to be free of it.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
I feel like the only the only team that really
the fact is also bro twenty three. I've never come
back from that, but the Braves are probably the only
one that still But even but I'm so tired of baseball.
Was just like, all right, I get like, you gotta
shot it. You don't like it's like, yeah, you can't
expect to one.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
All the time I thought about it as I was
watching all the stuff with the A's leaving Oakland.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Oh Man that's so sad.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
And I was like, if a team left my city,
what they did well? The Thrashers left Dan. We're talking
about no no, But I'm saying absolutely in the sense of,
like if they left in name and then in the
franchise left everything. You said you're crying, I don't know
(33:34):
what I would do.
Speaker 6 (33:34):
You might that's fine.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
I don't know if I would still be able to
watch the sport.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
You'd watched the sport. You don't have enough hobbies too,
You got to watch the sport.
Speaker 6 (33:42):
I feel like you need to get your money back
from your therapist.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
I feel like.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
This man.
Speaker 7 (33:47):
The fact that you said I'm always broken, she ain't
working hard. I don't know that that statement went through
somebody that I've been on that was that I'm always broken.
You got to watch games broke?
Speaker 6 (33:59):
Are you meeting her in person? Are on zone?
Speaker 3 (34:01):
This is one of them?
Speaker 7 (34:03):
Oh yeah, that's not I need you in account, check
in meet.
Speaker 6 (34:09):
The second take.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I've got your upgrade for you.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
So y'all just watch sports.
Speaker 6 (34:12):
Yes, unbroken absolutely.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
Even in general.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
I mean I would say I'm starting, as how we
got in this conversation, I'm starting to have like just
enough sense of like my son is closer to playing
or going to or being around Georgia football, then I
am to have you been there? Like I can't. I
can't care like I'm a student. I think that's the
statement there. I can't care like I'm a student of
(34:38):
UGA anymore and that and so it's maybe it's just
like a five degree separation of like I love this university.
It gave me so much. It is still part of
who I am and I still am going to root
for this team. But like I have friends who still
go to every single game.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
Yeah, you have friends and every single game away home.
This is away.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
They're taking their family away.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
No, let me ask you this.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
You don't say no names, but Dan, are these people
people you look and you living life good outside of that?
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Or do you go they're good friends and they're good people,
not bad.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
I'm not saying bad people.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
I would not choose the life they.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
I'm talking about. This is separation that day has makes
them go.
Speaker 6 (35:25):
Shoulders a light baby shoulders.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
They to see lots of like they I mean, this
is their like traveling. They're experiencing different parts of the country.
But like at the end of the day, though you're
still playing in the SEC. You are fairly You're going
to small college towns that feel just like Athens in
general and Sonville.

perennial All Star coming, Okay, next upgrade everybody.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
I don't know. I don't know NBA like y'all do,
so I'm confused.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
So I think everybody upgraded. If I'm to do my
quick take on it, I think everybody upgraded. I think
the paint was getting two packed, partially Minnesota. Also, it's
just it's Ants team, and I know they're saying that
we're both ones, but that's not how it works, right,
It's Ants team everybody. Also, I think Randall's just kind
of a Swiss army knife a player, and you kind
of need. They can score, you can rebank all these
other things if he's healthy. On the other end, New York,
(39:38):
you needed some height. But like have y'all watched Cat Like,
he don't be like I'm banging in the board grabbing rebound.
Speaker 6 (39:43):
That's not They got rappers in for that.
Speaker 8 (39:45):
That.
Speaker 6 (39:45):
He's a stretch. He's a stretch five right.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
Yeah, and he's from Jersey, right, He's from Jersey.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
He's like coming home, he coming home.
Speaker 6 (39:52):
I think this puts Nicks probably, in my opinion, off
top on paper, arguably the second best team in eas.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
I thought they was second best without him.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
Who was up in the East? Yeah, in the East,
it was Boston. It was gonna be healthy New York.
In my opinion, I have respect. I respect that opinion.
It's not far off. It was gonna be in a
particular order. It was gonna be Philly. It was gonna
be healthy.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
You never trust Philly, but I've never seen I've never
seen it.
Speaker 6 (40:17):
Like I say, you can't trust the Nickerbockers.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
They no, no, no, no, no. Here's why there's not hot
and cold.
Speaker 4 (40:22):
I've always seen Joel and b not do good in
the play or be hurt yeah.
Speaker 6 (40:26):
But at least he got to the playoffs instead.
Speaker 4 (40:28):
I hear you, no, no, no, But I'm saying when I
saw Jayalen Brunson made me go, oh, yes that the
curse or whatever the thing that knicks has has been
broken because the way they played you broken.
Speaker 6 (40:38):
And since they gonna win a championship, No, in.
Speaker 4 (40:40):
The sense that they can get to East fine to
be the top one of the top two teams in
the East.
Speaker 7 (40:44):
I think we all agree that at least we're grand
at their top three team. Yeah, with or without Cat, Yeah,
Cat is a more so solid five for me. Yeah,
because we forget they had to Michael Bridges, as I'm saying,
it was like upgraded Chinzo was like, yeah, I'm not
really trying to go to the six man row it.
Speaker 6 (40:59):
And then also they couldn't afford long term big money.
Speaker 5 (41:02):
Can we just ask though, if other teams can figure
this out, the t Wolves need to get rid of
cap space because that was the other big reason I
saw was like they can't afford this, they got a
cheap owner or they and they have all that ownership
issue going.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
On up there.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
Still the owner is ye, no, no, it's still in litigation.
That's crazy.
Speaker 5 (41:20):
And obviously the Knicks can get better. Why can't Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
Do something?
Speaker 6 (41:28):
Ran?
Speaker 1 (41:28):
Will you know I ownership?
Speaker 2 (41:32):
The t Wolves don't have good owners. In fact, they
don't even know who then is than the current owners.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
Honestly, haw Hawks ownership is greedy and they refuse to
go into the luxury tax and they constantly trade away
players who are about to put.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
The people talk about the responsibility of teams. This is
a bigger topic, but like the responsibility of teams to
where they're at, right, So you brought up Oakland, which
is a travesty in and of itself. In base there
was the Pittsburgh Pirates recently who designate for free what
does it dosney for assignment basically cut a player who
was four bats short of reaching a goal that would
(42:10):
have got him two undred thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
And he wasn't even a bad player, like he was
doing pretty.
Speaker 4 (42:14):
He was doing, you know, not a great but he
was like, oh, that's a serviceable guy. If you get
four more bats, we have to pay you. So they
literally cut him maybe three or four games for the season.
And I'm like, if I'm a fan of let's say
Oakland or Pittsburgh Pirates or any these teams were like,
they just don't get it right.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
We got a fans need a union where we go.
Speaker 4 (42:32):
Hey man, we're not gonna we about to we about
to mess up your whole situation.
Speaker 3 (42:36):
Keep playing in our faces.
Speaker 7 (42:37):
This is another reason why I won't speak for David
or anybody else here. Why players can do whatever they
want because friends and businesses will do whatever they want.
Hey but dog, you got a chance to continue to
change your family's trajectory for for years with four more bats.
Speaker 4 (42:54):
Talk get him out of here, Get him out of here,
get me a billion. I don't want to give two
hundred thousand dollars like this boom. Yeah, and that made
me want to find out face.
Speaker 6 (43:08):
Those are the stories.
Speaker 7 (43:09):
That's just like when because other moments happened, was like,
oh play for the It's like, yeah, see that's what
I'm gonna I'm gonna say.
Speaker 5 (43:16):
There are teams out there that like like put hit,
like make sure he gets those four back.
Speaker 8 (43:22):
Repossible.
Speaker 5 (43:23):
Absolutely, It's like managers who are like, yo, he's close,
he's close, do it like put him in like switch hit,
whatever we gotta do.
Speaker 6 (43:31):
He needs more catches, Let's get a couple of routes.
Speaker 4 (43:33):
To get context to the owner's quote unquote credit. Apparently
he's made Pittsburgh money, the team money every year, the owner,
you know what I'm saying business wise, So you're gonna
get people out there who like it was a good
business business wise. Every year he's taking a small market
team and they've made money money hard, which is hard
(43:55):
to do, but if you have to do it in
a way that like your fans like. That's why I'm
like this, Why I love the Braves is because they
went they know, they at least they realized if we win,
we make money.
Speaker 3 (44:05):
Yeah, and if you were good players, you make money.
Speaker 5 (44:08):
It felt like after the nineties it took him a
while though to figure that out.
Speaker 4 (44:12):
That's true. We didn't really have ownership like that. It
was kind of like, you know, but anyway.
Speaker 1 (44:16):
We can all stay on the top of your ownership.
What do y'all think of Arthur Blank getting in the
Falcons ring of Arthur Blank the owner going into his team.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
Didn't we when it happened. It was like like six
months ago, it just happened.
Speaker 8 (44:30):
Happened.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
I thought, okay, yeah, yeah it did night.
Speaker 4 (44:36):
There's a board of people that said we should do this,
and they did it right before and his hospital opened
up where the children's hospital opened up.
Speaker 7 (44:43):
You gave me a hospital in the city and they
had all the children transferred to the hospital.
Speaker 3 (44:49):
Yeah, I don't you know, they're worse. Listen, I think
he should be in the owner the holiday bro that man.
Speaker 4 (44:55):
You go to twenty dollars at the Concessus thing, you
can get a lot of food, like food back b
I'm in on it. You do whatever you want a
street name after they don't go for.
Speaker 2 (45:05):
It, it'll happen.
Speaker 5 (45:07):
I mean he he has made this city fun in
ways that very few other people have invested in bringing
things to the city, making Mercedes Benz a place that
people want to go to. It is an awesome experience.
And dude, free free bike valet.
Speaker 2 (45:28):
Whoever did that?
Speaker 5 (45:29):
I can ride a bike there and handed someone and
they watched it the whole game for me, And then
I come back.
Speaker 2 (45:35):
You tipped the people because they're sitting out there. That's
what we do for nothing.
Speaker 1 (45:40):
But staring at them.
Speaker 2 (45:41):
But just free bike valve that place, That place blows
my mind.
Speaker 3 (45:45):
All though that's kind of I didn't know that people.
Speaker 1 (45:50):
Let's talk AJ Griffin, You talk.
Speaker 5 (45:52):
About talk about someone wants to leave an organization former
very interesting.
Speaker 1 (45:58):
So he's quitting the NBA, it's twenty one years old,
one to pursue full time ministry. He said, quote, I
gave up basketball to follow Jesus. I know that in
a lot of people's eyes that seems like it seems
like a loss in the world's eyes. But I just
want to let you guys know that I'm super excited
because I truly get to serve God.
Speaker 4 (46:18):
Love it.
Speaker 3 (46:20):
Yeah, keep going, Yeah, what's wrong?
Speaker 5 (46:22):
Why are you taking deep reasts? You chose to serve
God by at home for people.
Speaker 10 (46:28):
I lost my place he got out of that.
Speaker 6 (46:31):
That was a flir.
Speaker 1 (46:35):
I feel like let it go of basketball was allowing
me to go in to full time ministry and truly
serving the Lord with all my heart all my time
too as well. So I'm just excited to see where
that leads me.
Speaker 3 (46:44):
Ay. J Griffin thoughts thoughts twenty one. Oh what I
got to say. But you go.
Speaker 4 (46:54):
Trying to say, maybe say I watched the whole I
watched Okay, contact watched the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (47:00):
So I'm not just saying this. Heart A lot of
the Yeah.
Speaker 4 (47:02):
A lot of the things that he said had to
do with like, y'all wanna use my platform to do this?
Speaker 3 (47:07):
My guy, you don't have a platform. You don't play
the NBA.
Speaker 4 (47:10):
Also, you act like there haven't been people who have
been Christians.
Speaker 3 (47:15):
Like what is Steph Currty is?
Speaker 4 (47:17):
Like no one, no one has used their platform to
talk more about Jesus than Steph Curry. And like, man,
just say you're not gonna make a team, Just say, man,
aymen what it is?
Speaker 8 (47:29):
David.
Speaker 3 (47:30):
He wasn't saying this when numbers his.
Speaker 6 (47:32):
Rookie year, My man, trying to get to Ethiopia.
Speaker 3 (47:34):
Man, fund it.
Speaker 7 (47:37):
You left colleges, baby, Get the faith up, David, get.
Speaker 4 (47:41):
The faith come to if you come to be a
mission or I man, you out here six foot eight
and you out here like man, just want to.
Speaker 6 (47:49):
Is your great Was he a great player?
Speaker 4 (47:50):
He was a first round draft pick? He was He
contributed his rookie year, attributed he kind of fell out
of the rotation saw is set year and he traveled around.
Speaker 3 (48:02):
I just I don't like.
Speaker 1 (48:04):
He can be on an NBA roster.
Speaker 3 (48:05):
He should be.
Speaker 4 (48:07):
He should I just yo, I don't I hate when
people do I'm not against I'm not against ministry by
any stretcher of imagination. But like you act like people
can't multitask. You're also putting this like this, like, oh,
there's a herd the NBA is this hurdle that's stopping
me from when there have been people who counts people
in that, who've been in professional sports, who have used
(48:28):
their platform to do the same thing you're trying to.
Speaker 7 (48:31):
Do, trying to go about a different way. But listen,
jen Olt for crazy different bro.
Speaker 4 (48:40):
I'm not I'm disagreeing with you. Can I say a
thing this might give me triple okay? When sometimes when
people start talking and they get real intent, Hey bro,
I do a thing where like, if you don't blink
enough for me, I go, hey, hey, you might mean well,
but you're not blinking enough for me to think that
you that you okay? And I saw that, and I
was like that brother, not blinking enough.
Speaker 7 (49:00):
You think I fell in a cult? Saying you think
you're getting caught up in a cult?
Speaker 3 (49:04):
I do think it's a lot, from what I understand,
is a lot of eternal in his life.
Speaker 6 (49:08):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (49:09):
And so this feels like a very like, oh, you
know what I mean like he missed some time last
year with the Hawks, and it was like they didn't
never say what it was, you know what I'm saying,
Like it just definitely feels like a very like I'm
just gonna make a decision. And I'm like, hey, and
I'm not saying maybe he wasn't a basketball player. Maybe
they pushed you to it. Every time I watch him, like,
(49:29):
hey man, something feel off.
Speaker 1 (49:31):
Did you ever have anybody like use God as an
excuse to say no to you?
Speaker 3 (49:36):
What that mean?
Speaker 2 (49:38):
Just let's not couch what he's doing as an excuse.
Speaker 1 (49:41):
Well no, but you don't know that.
Speaker 2 (49:43):
You can ask the question.
Speaker 1 (49:44):
But he's not getting the witness, he's not getting signed.
He wasn't.
Speaker 2 (49:51):
What I'm saying like, that's out of his contract.
Speaker 1 (49:54):
He did, right, But that's kind of what we're like.
This is weird.
Speaker 2 (49:57):
I don't think it's weird, all right, I different take
just waiting my turn.
Speaker 4 (50:01):
Let me let me throw this out there, because I'm
not saying this. I'm not saying, all right, we don't
think this is weird. This can do something else to
play basketball, Okay, but can we agree we agree that
my more situation was weird.
Speaker 6 (50:15):
What was her Oh when she stopped playing to go
try to get him out of jail.
Speaker 4 (50:18):
Yes, see what I'm saying, And they're very similar energy
at all.
Speaker 3 (50:24):
They feel the same.
Speaker 6 (50:25):
My man wasn't even her, They weren't in a relationship
at the time.
Speaker 3 (50:29):
They was married.
Speaker 7 (50:30):
Immediately they were just like she was just a good
Samaritan and we were like, who is this man?
Speaker 3 (50:35):
They married immediately.
Speaker 6 (50:37):
To it a whole nother job. People have stopped football
to be surgeons and professors and other things out here.
Speaker 1 (50:45):
I hear it.
Speaker 2 (50:45):
I think.
Speaker 5 (50:46):
I think that if you won, most NBA and NFL
players end up bankrupt, whether or not they played out
their contract or not. So there's that like there is
no financial like you know, the right all right, So
(51:08):
the mass majority go broke because they spend money on
crap that they don't need.
Speaker 2 (51:13):
Why do they do that?
Speaker 5 (51:14):
My best guess is they don't know what to do
with that money. They don't have people in their life
helping them to create generational wealth, and ultimately they're unhappy
and they're like self medicating with like, well, like this
doesn't fulfill me, and so I want to do this now.
I'm not saying that some people like Steph Curry are
not able to do both and love every second of
(51:36):
doing both things, and like, whatever the thing is you
need to be true to yourself now is there is
could there in this instance be someone whispering in his
ear and like convincing him to do something that ultimately
he's not really cognizant of. Maybe that happens via religion,
any religion. There can be that that conversation. But also
(52:00):
so there is absolutely the reality where he's just like,
I don't need this money, and this is what will
make me the most fulfilled. I'm gonna do like I'm
gonna go do that. And I think that I was
looking at, you know, the players who like who retire early.
Calvin Johnson is the first one to come to mind,
where you're just like what you are, you are a
(52:23):
generational talent, and he's just like, I just don't love
this game.
Speaker 4 (52:25):
That's something Warden Detroit though Detroit don ruined two of
the greatest athletes of all time, but I agree.
Speaker 2 (52:32):
And what if I think.
Speaker 5 (52:35):
My last thought is I think they're probably happier for it.
I think they we are we are bummed out by it,
but ultimately I think they would look back like that
was the absolute best.
Speaker 7 (52:45):
When great comics stopped being comics, we're like, oh no, bro,
we loved you about here.
Speaker 6 (52:49):
And then they always happier.
Speaker 4 (52:52):
Okay, can I throw something else about because again I
watched it. I've actually been following kind of like who
he is because I was like, interesting, this is Some
people might feel it one way or the other about it,
but this was one of those. Like I remember he
went on the line one time and made a rant
about Beyonce working for the devil, being a demon around
(53:13):
for years. No, no, no, but when you say it out loud,
I go, it's wow. When you say out loud, that's
what I'm saying. If you find that that and the
like with the like, it's one thing to say and
then put something like because of it.
Speaker 3 (53:24):
But he's just like, nah, this is this is.
Speaker 5 (53:26):
Just just to be clear, he is part of a
very specific line sect of Christianity. He's a Jehovah's witness,
which is yes, so he is hyper conservative in his
The worldview of a Jehovah's witness is hyper can.
Speaker 3 (53:46):
I don't know who Jehovah's witness well?
Speaker 5 (53:48):
In his in his announcement, he is. I'm a witness
to Jehovah, so I think he is. Remix the phrase
trying to know it makes me think that he is
in factor Jehovahs. Wait, okay, now that could be that
could be wrong. I'm reading, I'm kind of reading and
(54:09):
see how you try.
Speaker 6 (54:10):
To flip it out here.
Speaker 4 (54:11):
And I only bring only bring that up because certain
like again, I'm not I'm not against anybody kind of
like finding their lighting whatever.
Speaker 3 (54:19):
I'm not against that at all.
Speaker 4 (54:20):
But there are a certain times you hear be like
I don't think we'd have a normal conversation, and you're
so removed from like actual people that it caused me
concern for any decision that you make.
Speaker 3 (54:30):
And that when I saw him and I go, all right.
Speaker 4 (54:33):
Man, like who have you been? You know who you've
been talking to? Also coupled with like the trauma that
you've experienced over.
Speaker 6 (54:40):
The last years, it's a lot going on.
Speaker 3 (54:41):
Yeah, I wish you the best, I think just to.
Speaker 2 (54:46):
Be the lost thought on this aj Griffin Beyonce thing.
Speaker 5 (54:50):
This is like classic like like young Christian who's like,
I'm gonna like my conviction needs to be everyone's convictions,
And it's like Hey.
Speaker 2 (55:00):
What happened to just pumped the breaks?
Speaker 6 (55:01):
What happens?
Speaker 2 (55:04):
What happened?
Speaker 4 (55:04):
Remember remember when people with athletes was going Christian and
then they go on TV and they were still cool.
Speaker 3 (55:09):
What happened to them?
Speaker 6 (55:10):
Phone books not ed.
Speaker 1 (55:14):
I remember, like Tims you, we brought out a new
playbook of like if you sound like a Chick fil
a drive through worker, people love you.
Speaker 4 (55:21):
Remember like Deon Sanders and Michael Urban be on TV
in and it was getting it my grandma watching TV in.
Speaker 6 (55:26):
Mike got off crack and I'm.
Speaker 4 (55:29):
Like, oh wow, you know now it's just like it'd
be like guys who twelve on the bench is like,
hey man, this don't feel the same. Uh.
Speaker 8 (55:39):
We got some comments here.
Speaker 9 (55:42):
First up, touch on Bird said, Hey guys, John Glasgow said,
referring to when we first started talking about a j
Nick can't wait to diminish a man's dream. Uh, one said,
talk about it. You can do both. You can serve
God and play ball. Glasgow once again said Griffin could
have been another Jonathan Isaac h a Truth said he
could have been the first preacher baller in the league.
(56:03):
Glasgow's had full ministry is no joke, must be a
glut for punishment. Jehoash witness still get ignored in my door,
but I love them.
Speaker 8 (56:10):
John Glascow, you just you just love.
Speaker 9 (56:12):
Saying wild stuff and town said, classic little believer move y.
Speaker 1 (56:19):
I try to be kind to Jehovah's witnesses, but there's
a point where you just want to be like, please
go away. Yeah, I don't know how else like.
Speaker 2 (56:28):
I think about that. I think that about you, like, yeah,
I heard my film.
Speaker 1 (56:37):
I'm like, you're showing up here. They show up to
my door.
Speaker 3 (56:41):
I like to mess with Mormons.

Any time to see Mormons, I go, oh, man, that's cool,
and start talking like they're like, yeah, if you want

Allowed in your church?
Speaker 4 (57:31):
And then they're like, it's like eighties, right, eighty I
was like maybe eighty four, I think it was. So
that's always a fun thing to do.
Speaker 1 (57:40):
And that's when they were just like, okay, all right, okay,
Which is it's not like we were banging out the door.
Speaker 3 (57:45):
To get it.
