I realized that those don'tcount yeah no and then I thought
we're gonna do blocks for likeairline planes you know they put
the blocks they don't roll awaybut

we're gonna do eight different takes of this
podcast

Murph (02:37):
all nighter let's do it

all right, now we're doing the hell with work
we got exactly right. Oh we vanWow. Brand New Year Yep. We just
just a lot of stuff hashappened. I know we kind of took
a little bit time off becauseyou know all together

Murph (02:56):
Yeah, it's it's a lot of drinking. No drugs.

Family stuff for marine we stopped drinking and
yeah, you know how it is brandnew year brand new year. We made
it's it's hard to believe was itnow? I think our podcast is four
months old.

Murph (03:12):
Ah. So I think in human terms we could hold our heads up
properly because our neck strongenough Yes, our podcast did
weird but yes, that's right nolonger Bible heading we are we
will infused muscles in theneck.

While still at awkward we might we might just
you know digger ourselves intothe dragger heads into the
sandwich

Murph (03:37):
yeah we're there yeah we can we can hold the weight of
our head now and we're stilldrooling a lot but it is what it
is

nowhere near the top of the world because we
can't handle the world we canyou came in Halo or head nearly

Murph (03:47):
exactly. We're getting there though. That's it. We're
still working on shapes andcolors and things like that. So
we're getting there baby stepsor in this case would be
crawling but yes.

Say Wow. Listen is like

Murph (04:00):
talking about 2022 Hashtag 20.2 with the fox
happening

hashtag 22. Yes.

Murph (04:05):
Do that. Three different things of Coronavirus like we
are this is the least of anyonethat serves Right.

Unknown (04:13):
Like oh, RM

Murph (04:16):
oddly specific images we paint and things

like a painter Murph don't try to put that you

Murph (04:27):
know, you like it. You know, you don't fight it.

Oh, so, man. We just had I mean, Murph had a New
Year's party and then after theNew Year's, we had to sober up
just enough that because then wehave a special surprise. We'll
get into that a little bit laterand then correct by our viewers.
And it just it's been

Murph (04:46):
it's been been crazy.
It's been eventful, beenawesome. We've we've, we've
ended 2021 and brought in 2022.
Pretty, pretty awesome. I can'tthink of a better word than
awesome right now. So as I say,pretty cool, but that sounds
kind of weird. So awesome. Yeah,no, just reverse grade.
Everything is awesome.
Apparently, everything is off.
Just go with that. Yeah, I'lltake Lego Movie, you know?

(05:07):
Alright. Oh,

boy. So yeah, damn.
Yes. It's so weird because Ijust we just like if you guys
watched like on YouTube andstuff we just finished like that
that video with us just overeating and

Murph (05:22):
done like gosh I felt like crap after amazing I felt
like rap. It's like the firsttime I like I was happy to see
someone take away candy andbaked goods. I was like

it was so friggin rough because like, oh yeah, I
was feel good by myself thatday. I was like, alright, like,
I haven't really eaten like crapfor a couple weeks. I feel good.
Like this shouldn't reallybother me too bad. And the next
day, you get the gifts we startmaking the glue by

Murph (05:47):
oh my gosh, Ed. Glue vine is not a good mix with sweets.
Not even close. That was justI'd say that's rookie mistakes,
but we've done that before, soit's disappointed. We're just
idiots. Yeah, yeah, it's like wejust chalk it up to

the idiots who try.

Murph (06:02):
It is true. We are

I should be man and have a team it's an

Murph (06:07):
idiot to try. Yeah. I don't know. That sounds good. I
don't know what that sounds likea how to book or something like
for Dummies was like idiots thattry like we just try really dumb
things. trendy things on theinternet. There's a ton of stuff
that people that do that.

Or I was gonna say Jackass but you know, for people
but in Canadians, Canadianscase, red green,

Murph (06:31):
have had it. Yeah,

that's true. Good times.

Murph (06:34):
Good times.

But uh, yeah, we first of all, thank you as
again, the choice for sending usall those wonderful goodies. I
will put down all this stuff inthe show notes where you can
watch that video almost slowlydying on the inside.

Murph (06:49):
Save you got 30 minutes to spare.

So still,

Murph (06:53):
I just can't believe me that long. I can believe
YouTube. Oh, I would it? Ofcourse they do. It's like a It's
like half a porno. Like that'slike crazy. That's a long video.

Watch. No, no. Just certain markets, man.

Murph (07:06):
Right? I guess. Yeah.
Like, man.

First of all, that the video ended up 31 minutes.
And then yeah, the sooner theyshow and wherever they go. Hey,
like it's obvious. Like what thewho's watching it for 30
minutes. It's like you'd besurprised. Germans love it. And
then like the averageengagements like probably seven
minutes. So if you

Murph (07:27):
want yet they still have 23 minutes

to standard. I will take that. All right. That's
fair. That's fair. Because forAmericans I know damn. Well,
they're not watching. Oh,

Murph (07:35):
hell no. Even I get bored. Even I was in it. And
I've been bored. Two minutes.
And they're like, man, theseguys fucking suck. One guy came
and look at the camera. It'sweird

that I know my flow. Looks right through the
camera, everybody.

Murph (07:49):
I like to stare into people's souls. The goalie
stare. Oh, wow. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Got me late a few times. Whereanyway,

that's in protection.

Murph (07:59):
Oh, geez.

Viewers. Ah, it's for the bros for the bros. There
we go. So we know making likethe glue vine. And we felt I
mean, Murph had some extrabarefoot. You're like I need to
I need to get rid of this. Socan we make that into?

Murph (08:16):
It was like Costco sized bottle of red wine. So yeah,
that was huge. Yeah, it was bad.
Oh, she said, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. Definitely. She'slying. She lied. That's what I
knew it. But it's a newcatchphrase. She lied. Alright,
continue.

I said she lied.
Yeah. But if so we eat up athing to choice. Yes, you send
us a bunch of like spices to mixinto the red wine so we can
eventually make it tastes good.
Yes. It just turns out that weshould have gotten

Murph (08:49):
better wine. Yeah, yeah.
For a better one. better one.
But next time. 23.

Yeah, you know what we're learning. We're getting
better learning. That's probablythe 30 year we're doing it. But
you know what we should knowbetter. But we don't. But we're
good. No, it's

Murph (09:01):
It's trial and error. You got to make a ton of errors.
Yeah. Just to really make surethat it doesn't work. Yeah.

Because you don't get over the barrel of the ego.
You're like, okay, yeah, thatmakes sense. Yeah, exactly.

Murph (09:11):
The first time could have been a fluke. Now we know for
sure that it doesn't work likethat. So

like, now I know you care because you've been
here for eight years. Exactly.
Congrats, you guys. You'regetting it. But perfect. After
we get that done, I like shegave us a bunch of sugar. So
we're like dumping the sugar. Ohmy gosh. Oh, and I'm like, I
don't even know we're making amess.

Murph (09:31):
We were even dumping the sugar cane in a cone. So Zach
decides he's going to his andour infinite wisdom. He takes a
spoon and like a like aprospector is just whacking this
sugar thing cone until it breaksoff into the blue vine and we
just keep stirring it andtasting like more sugar and is
whacking it. After like aquarter of that thing in my

(09:52):
house. It's the only thing Zachleft behind. He took all the
candy we left the sugar.

we were talking about before

Thomas brandy man.
Oh, that's right. The CandymanCandyman can not. Okay. The hook
er. So we either we never getlike a bunch of these things.
Like I'm not talking about notjust usually years past we get
like, you know, like a probablycome out with candy. Yeah, this
year was like a full on box.

Murph (13:03):
It was Costco or something that was like, it was
probably expensive. I felt badsee and all that like it was
awesome. And I'm definitelygonna finish it. But that was
like a lot. It was which wasawesome, though. But

it's Yeah, I mean, it was great. We got the
experience. I mean, you get alittle bit of stuff here. And
then you get a little bit stufffrom the year before where it's
like you get some German itemshere and there and mixed in with
some Americanized German. Butnow you get everything so, man,
definitely check it out if youguys have a chance to so and it
was awesome. It's great. Murfinwas birthed out is how

Murph (13:36):
I did actually that's the one Yeah, that's a fun actually
your brother's house? Yes. Thankyou. Clarify. Yes. Not a loser
enough just to verify that.

Ah, Cotter. Yeah, we were making goo Vaughn really

Murph (13:50):
weird thing happened.
He's Christmas tree branchesthat are left out for a week
that are dry as hell. caught onfire. It's amazing. They just
catch right on fire that candlewax on top of it would prevent
that it did not. Things got outof hand. Oh, yeah. Yeah,

but we're live we're good. Um, but yeah, we we
end up doing that and then like,was it not too long after that
we end up getting right into themeat of doing merch little
party.

Murph (14:18):
Yes. Ah, thank you. Yes.
Which was supposed to be a smallintimate friendly get together
that turned into a shit show.
All of us drinking and Zackgetting drunker than me for the
first time I think ever in ourfriendship, which was awesome.
But all that happened maybeonce. Maybe you're right. Sorry.

(14:41):
Once when I think when I cameand visited you at Miami because
you're hanging out with yourboys down there. Oh, yeah. And I
was still in the adult world. SoI hadn't started pre gaming.
Yeah, and you guys are alreadyfeeling pretty good by the time
I got there. But at allfairness, because Zack is
calorie counting and has avagina. He drinks. He likes to
drink vodka like mixed drink. Sowe'll be playing like drinking

(15:02):
games with beer that you'resupposed to do and Zack will use
this vaccum mix drinks to playwith us and people big man
that's hardcore. It's like, yes,but he also doesn't have the
liver for it. So he gets shitever. Like, I know, like a
normal person. Well, kinda likea normal person. But yeah, like,
do you remember flip cup? Okay,I do. Okay, that was hilarious.

(15:25):
I remember that. Okay. But yeah,exactly. He went to college yet
somehow for Flip Cup, which,hopefully everyone here knows
what that is. Because eitheryou've been to college or gone
to college parties or whatever.
But Zach did not know that. Youdidn't have to fill the cup all
the way up with beer. And youdid that a few times. That's how
we played it. Oh, yeah. Cheese.
Yeah. Okay. I've never played itthat way. Oh.

Well, it's like, I think that's a problem with
hanging out with my my roommateand his buddy from Cincinnati.
Things got really weird reallyquick. No, you fill up the whole
thing like, whoa.

Murph (16:03):
I completely surprised by that. That's out right with
them.

There's one time we end up running out a keg. And
then we just that's how westarted doing this, I guess.
Just fill out the whole thing.
So we got a cake. All right.
That was the time we had theInkling. So it's oh, gee, we got
that one weekend. And we're justlike,

Murph (16:20):
that is not a that is not a party beer. It's not that is
not a beer you want in a keg.
Yo, you're trying to finish thatkeg off? That is like what?
Caffeine like what kegs havelike, no, no, no, I don't I
don't do math. Gotta be like,maybe 30 Solo cups worth of
beer. More than that. You think?
Oh, yeah, there's

a lot. It's like that

Murph (16:39):
makes a hefty party to tap a cat to tap to. And we got

we got like the full cake. And I think those are
like, I want to, I really wantto say like 200 or so. Gotcha.

Murph (16:48):
I guess we could Google if we wanted to know. Let's just
keep awkwardly guessing it.

I'm really guessing. Yeah, like 400. Yeah,
it's not my Yeah. All I rememberis like the weekend we had that
we start playing flip flip cupand we filled the whole thing up
and like, then we basically getto a point where I was like,
kind of like, kind of, you know,tired. Yeah, playing flip cup
because we drank all this beer.
But never was. We didn't have asmany people at this party that
we hoped to drink all this beerlike, damn. How are we gonna do

(17:14):
is we're just gonna sit and oneof our friends milkshake. That's
I'm not gonna get hold

Murph (17:20):
guys. Hilarious. Let me give you started right around
the world here soon. But yeah,

yeah. We go out of town and then we come back and
they say no, we see milkshakejust fall asleep on our couch.
Like, No, shut your eyes likeYeah. Like, all right, we try to
get a little bit of beer for theother night. And we're like, Oh,
shit. It's gone. Really? Moshe.
You drink all this. He's like,Oh. milkshake is like five. He's

(17:46):
six.

Murph (17:51):
He's a small guy. Yeah, like I think any of us could
pick up mop and put you throwhim over your head. Like it was
a small he's he's a hugepersonality.

He's like, ironically, he's been to
Germany, like to Munich plentyof time. So I think he kind of
understood like how to drink andyeah, volumes. But just he
didn't see this little guy like,oh, like,

Murph (18:10):
well, Germans knew how to do things. I'd love to learn how
because like, yeah, I imagineNo, I love German style beer.
But I feel like it always sitsso heavy for me that I can only
drink so much beer and then I'mdone. Can't like I'm tapped. So

some well, but I don't. I always drink the
pilsners because they're nice.
But yeah, German Pilsner is a

Murph (18:28):
lot. Like getting into those. Yeah, yes. Super smooth.
So, but yeah, anyway, so yeah,it's yours. But yeah, so I went
to a shit show a little bit, butit was still fun. Nonetheless,
we brought in 2023 Two with abang. We're not even 23 yet.
Like with souls. Now. So thatwas that was cool. You know, our
first time in a long time,thought I was gonna be awkward.

(18:49):
It wasn't as bad as I thought itwas gonna be so yeah, we handle
each other pretty well.

Oh, it's yeah, people ran into other people who
they haven't seen. Yeah. Andthen they're like,

Murph (18:59):
I hope that that helps, too. Yeah, yeah, it was more
luckily, there was a lot ofunderwear by anything. Right.
Good. Yeah. Perfect. Yeah. Andthen. And then yeah, I was
horribly that was on Friday.
Man. That weekend was a lot.
That was a long weekend. Yeah,that was I think that was
Friday. And Saturday. We justkind of hung out. Yeah. And
yeah. And then there was justlike, yeah, it's Saturday passed

(19:19):
off for a while. Yeah, we allhad to recover was actually no,
I went to brunch and then I'mpretty sure I drank all day.
Yep.

Oh, God. I was oh, that Saturday was bad because as
soon as I got back, it wasraining. I was like queasy and
then I was like, Alright, andthen I just like hopped on my
bed, and then just passed outfor a few hours. And I get I
walk out and my dad's like, Hey,I was last night I'm like, fine

Murph (19:50):
yeah, nope. I went to brunch and I think we had nine
bottles of champagne.

celebrate the New Year. I love it. And then

Murph (19:59):
we Oh had also had two more when we got back to my
place after like, so yeah, yeah.
Yeah, we did. I did a lot moredrinking on. I surprisingly
though, I don't know if it justbecause I did it over a long
span of time, or just because itwas champagne with orange juice
in it. But it was surprisinglynot that hungover on Sunday for
all that drinking

most of the man.
Yeah, they just are different.

Murph (20:25):
They're amazing. But yes, they are different. You just you
just

you don't really get hung over from Moses at all
true. The maybe like a headache,but that's really

Murph (20:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it definitely. Well guess I think
it was to how long it took us.
We're there for a few hoursbecause I've done it where I've
had like a few in a short time.
Yeah. And yeah, I think theduring the German

way, right drink Exactly. Well over anymore.
Exactly.

Murph (20:47):
The danger. Yeah, the danger, though was this was a
true so this is a truebottomless mimosa. Whereas like
a lot of places here inColumbus, they kind of get
around bombas Mimosa by theygive you a deal for the bottle.
So it'll be like, Oh, $10 for abottle of mimosa. Whereas, like,
if you bought them individually,it could cost you five bucks. So
if you do quick math, you'relike, you know, a bottle gets

(21:09):
about four drinks, roughly. Soyou're like, you know, whereas
five bucks. That's 20 and thebottles? 10. Let's do bottles.
Yeah, so you but you only dolike, four or five is your like,
that's $50 in bottles rightthere. And there's five of us
here. So each pay for onebottle. Yeah. Whereas when we
did bottomless, it was literallylike 20 bucks. And that was it.
So we literally sat there forfour hours and just drank. And I

(21:34):
could

sit there for four hours with somebody and just get
like in public. Plus,

Murph (21:39):
it was yeah, it was was it was a small group of people.
So that helps. But yeah, it waslike and then yeah, so it was
like it was it was Yeah, me mygirlfriend. Two buddies from I
started out three buddies fromhockey, and then his wife and
the other guy's girlfriend. Sothere was like seven of us. Oh,
geez. Yeah, so it was yeah, itwas it was a it was a good

(21:59):
group. Yeah, so we hockeyplayers didn't drink man like
football players and othersports but they can still hold
their own pretty good so I'm notsure football players I know.
Actually. I think they saidrugby players drink crazy. Oh,

dude. That'd be their wild. Yeah, I'm footballs
is up there with rugby. They'rekind of saying level true. But

Murph (22:19):
those linemen help out.
Yeah. Big Men. Because big guys,I'm sure a lot of you.

And then we end up getting to like Sunday. This is
this is the best part. I got togive a shout out to everyone who
obviously listens to this, watchthis and also watches the vlogs
they actually surprised me abouta month ago two months ago about
giving up me and Murph ticketsto the Chiefs Bengals game.

Murph (22:46):
Thank you so much. That was actually my first NFL
experience. Yeah, it was myfirst I've never been an NFL
game. So that was really cool.

You see Merce? I just lined up like my kids just
like,

Murph (22:57):
yeah, look at them, right? Because tight pants. No.
Truthfully, I'm not the biggestfootball fan but I will have to
I will have to admit, like beingthere experiencing at all like,
you definitely see why peopleenjoy it like yeah, it's
definitely like, actually kindof feel a little bad too.
Because you can tell some peopleenjoy it so much that you I bet

(23:19):
you any money owners and stuffjust racking it in. Like, you
know, like, doing the bareminimum especially what that
thing came out was like theWashington Football Club and the
Eagles game and the fans fellover the railing because the
Washington stadium is so undercapped and they don't want to
put the money into it. And it'sjust like, you know, they're
making so much money. It's likeyou can

build out that stadium. I don't I mean, that
stadium is probably the mostcursed thing I've ever seen in
my life. Right? Geez becauselike we're RG three got injured
and Alex Smith. Oh, yeah,they're within like five yards
of each other.

Murph (23:53):
Oh, geez. ACL was really bad. Yeah,

yeah. So like, like there was someone put out
someone put out on Twitter onetime or this past week of all
like the major like, milestonesof like the bad milestones of
the stadium and all these majorinjuries like blown MCL ACL all
happened within five or sevenyards of each other and then
obviously you had like the Ohlike for that entrance thing

(24:20):
happened? Yeah. Or this fansfell out. That's actually like
the closest closest one to thatyeah, so patch a field Yeah,
literally

Murph (24:27):
if you if you guys haven't seen the video like go
check it out. It's crazy. Butlike yeah, like there's an
entrance or whatever. And yousee I think it was hertz the new
quarterback for failure the thechosen quarterback guy right
now. He's like running out andyou see these and Philly fans
are crazy. And he's reachingover Yeah, leaning over this
railing and then the railingjust gives out and they fall
easily what like four feet likeit's it was like it was like it

(24:49):
was a pretty high fall for meand they and you're like luckily
I don't think anyone like brokeanything but like you know not
to mention you're falling on topof a railing so like your wrists
or any

no one's like yeah, like was seriously injured but
even then Jalen Hurts To makematters like, just shows how
good duty was he wrote a letterto the owners like hey, get your
crap together. Yeah, cuz this isbad.

Murph (25:10):
Well, the railing too could have fallen on him. Like
fell on his ear. Yeah, true.
Yeah. All right. Yeah. Whichfair fair he's used to. Yeah,
he's used to no lines are justlike, oh, I can just dodge this.
Yeah, Texas junk a bad dB. Yeah.

There's everyone else is falling. Wow.

Murph (25:29):
Well, anyway, yeah. I don't know when Zach, did you
put your video on that?

Not yet. I'll probably do that this week at
some point. Gotcha. I gotta findthe expiration

Murph (25:37):
date there. There. But But no, it was awesome. It was
really fun.

But it's, I'll tell I'll try and tell Murph like
this whole time like you waittill you go to your first NFL
game. The you know, the wholeexperience to trap you and he's
like, Okay, I've been hockeygames, whatever, that's fine.
But then you can't explain ittill you go to one. You're like,
oh,

Murph (25:56):
oh, wow. Yeah. This is fun, right? It is. Well, besides
that crazy woman that wasstanding behind me at the end of
the day, like that woman we wereannoying. Like, I don't even
want to look behind me because Iwas nervous. It was just some
crackhead that was gonna like,be like, Oh, he's wearing a
silver chain. Let's jump up likeI don't know, it was just crazy

for some cheap stuff. And he had like a little
bit of a cracked out woman. Ahigh on something drove on
something up kind of likegetting slightly a little bit
closer to his left shoulder. Andwe're counting on the aisle seat
there. And we're just like, it'slike he is getting awfully
close. She's like, boop, boop,boop. Who day looks like I don't

(26:35):
know who they are.

Murph (26:37):
That's that's the question. I'm asking. Are you
are they? Are they? Who are you?
Oh, yeah. This is not properEnglish. I don't get it.

I just I just don't turn around. And then I turn
around to look at her becauseI'm curious to see who this
woman what's what it looks like.
And she's like, Suze, I havelike a quick look to my left.
She kind of makes a quickiContact meme like, oh, no, no,
no, no, no. Yeah, you reset. Andthen the guys are right. We're
actually pretty, pretty cool.
But like Murph said, there'speople. And granted, I have been

(27:10):
around football my whole entirelife, I get it. But there's
people who live and die to thesport and to their team,
whatever. That's cool has tohave your pageantry. But if that
defines your whole entire, weliterally

Murph (27:24):
if you just like yeah, like literally like 30 literally
some people that like, happilymarried and the team loses. And
then I can't go home and makelove to their wife or something.
And I'm like, if it's blocked,if it's like affecting your life
that hard that you ruin No, ha,no pun intended, that you've
ruined your week, like and Imean, I know that I know, they
hate we talked about this, buthe knows there are some soccer

(27:46):
fans that are exactly the same.
But that stuff just baffles me.
And I know, like, I know, it'seasy. Well, it's weird for me to
say considering my family hasmade a living in this sport. But
I think that's what I willrespect about football, as I
always love. And Zach knowsthis, like we've talked about
it. I love when you have pridein your town. And I think that's

(28:06):
what makes sports. What makes acity in which makes a state so
good is the people that live init caring about what their
communities like, like that Irespect. That's why I've always
thought like, Columbus needs afootball team, a basketball
team, like the city of Columbusneeds something. We'll never get
it. But we could use thatinstead of just soccer and
hockey. But like, that's alwayscool to see. They do feel like

(28:28):
they just take it too far. OrI'm like, unfortunately, the
guys that are playing on thefield. They love that city too.
And they want to do well. Butthe other day, they're getting
paid for it whether they win orlose it. Yeah, Mike Yeah, that's
true. But not It's not from it.
So it's like,

I'll be honest with you having played whatever you
want to call it, arena football,like in that whole experience
you you don't, you really don'tget a whole glimpse of whatever
like surrounding you're inunless you get even remotely a
little bit time off, which isnot very much. So it's even then
you spent so little time outsideof the football facility that

(29:04):
you're like, Well, this is nice.
Whatever I get, I'll get used toit. You you learn to adapt
pretty quick. So these guys, I'msure burrows fine because he's
from Ohio. So he's like, whywhatever. Yeah, and then
everybody else, you know who'sfrom the south or other parts of
the country? They're like, thiscraps cold. I don't like it.
It's like, well, it's yeah, it'sa different environment. And I I
just don't understand people whojust don't like that. This is my

(29:27):
life. I right. I can't move onwith my life until these guys
win. This is it.

Murph (29:35):
I mean, it's great to see and I respect that I was like I
had a roommate you've everTravis like they're huge
Cleveland fans. And like hisdad, I think him cried when like
the Cavs won, you know and likethey were like, you know,
they'll never last stage. Yeah,so like that stuff I respect so
that I'm okay with but there aresome cases where like, they go a

(29:55):
little too serious and like yousaid, like, unfortunate
professional athletes. They'reso busy and so many things. are
happening that the stuff they dodo in the community a good chunk
of it, it's like the team isasking them to do it. And then
so that like, you know, so it'sit's very rare to find guys that
like different want to get inthe community because then by
the time they do have time offit's only a few months and
they're like, as much as I'dlove to help the community I

(30:17):
want to enjoy my time off withmy family. So it's like it's
yeah, it's

everyone's kind of required to do a lot of
community work. Yes, I'm sorry.
Sorry, your own foundation. Imean, they used to not anymore

Murph (30:27):
No, no, but some of them still do like there are really
there are some good ones. I knowJoe burrow with the hunger here
and like in southern Ohio. Iknow there's like some NHL
owners like the old owner forthe blue jackets was really good
about that like wanting peopleto get out into the end like I
think even paid some players alittle extra big Hey, go do this
because sometimes the superstarplayers just get so tired of all

(30:49):
the recognition that they don'twant to go do the community
service stuff because sure thethe attention no longer is on
the community service stuff.
It's on the athlete that'sthere. And so like it's just
like but yeah, it's that's justthe only thing I have about
words like sports is great.
There's a reason for it. It usedto it used to be a sign of who's
a stronger nation for war. Nowwe've turned it into this huge

(31:11):
billion dollar industry but likeI just I'd sometimes I have to
think like fan like fans, myselfincluded. We have to be at least
a little bit like woke and beinglike these guys are just paid to
do this. Like you know, they'renot going to go die out there
because they want your egostroked when Cleveland and Cincy
play each other for the Ohiorivalry for the fifth times a

(31:33):
year. Like it's like this likeit's not like they're not gonna
do it like he's just not gonnado it. I I wouldn't do it
either. Like that's like youknow,

I and I have the same debate with people if you
were like oh, how do you notlike like me I enjoyed it. I was
like, that's great you enjoy butI guarantee you if you ask
everybody who ever played a veryhigh level all Do you still
watch the sport? Do you still Iguarantee you probably eight
times out of 10 the very leastthere'll be like no I don't
watch a sport i i played youknow high power five conference

(32:03):
level in college or justprofessionally I guarantee the
guys be like

Murph (32:08):
actually to what do you know some of the insider stuff
that even like I don't get toldbecause like just can't be told
it but when you've seen some ofthe stuff and you've seen
ownership and you've seen howthings are run it unfortunately
hurts that it takes thechildlike definitely wonder out
of that. Because it is am sobusiness now that yeah,

is one of the hardest things I hardest pill to
swallow the

Murph (32:29):
hardest pill to swallow.
As she said, Yeah, me nice. Shelied. Oh,

horse pills. Get out of town. No, but no, it's
that was like one of the hardestthings when I when I started
playing arena. That was one ofthe most difficult things to
switch from. I guess. School,for me was in pageantry for
Miami. It was just I don't know,he just tried to win. Yeah,
yeah. And then you get to thenext level. It's like, alright,

(32:58):
you know, what can you do forus? Like, well, I'm working
really hard. I'm doing this. I'mdoing that, like, care if you
work really hard.

Murph (33:04):
Yeah. You gotta show media. Like, yeah, this

is like, right. I think Instagram was just
becoming big at this time. Butthey're like, You got to be
here. This is the level you gotto be at. And if you're not,
then

Murph (33:16):
it isn't. It is entertainment, even though a lot
of those athletes have horribleacting skills. They are
entertainers just like actorslike that. Yeah, they have to,
they have to be able to promotethe team in the city. And that's
what they want. Like, especiallyif you're a bubble player, if
you're like a bubble player,unfortunately. And because the
professional, there's so manypeople in the world that want to
do it. They're like a dime adozen. So if you're a bowl

(33:37):
player with a decent socialmedia, following our idea of how
that works, they're going tokeep you because that's free
marketing. More as if you'resomeone that works hard, but
maybe you're quiet off the iceor off the field or whatever.
They don't want you if theydon't, that's not what they
want. That should

happen to football YouTuber. Destroying. He's a
kicker. And then he's beentrying to play the NFL for
years. He's actually not bad.
Okay, so he actually was one ofthe first casualties of NCAA
because when he was in college,he was doing all these videos,
he's making money off of it. SoNCAA said, yeah, make money off,
right? Because at that time, sothey basically he's like, either

(34:13):
you stopped doing YouTube or youcan leave schools like, leave
now. Actually, you wanted tofinish school, but the team
said, Well, we're not gonna kickthem. Well, yeah, if you're not
playing for us, we're not goingto continue. We're gonna honor
our scholarship. So they'relike, screws. So but it's funny
because Toronto Argonauts callthem one time. There's a couple
years to go and to come on forbe an extra leg during training

(34:37):
camp. And that point, theyalready had three kickers, which
is unheard of.

Murph (34:44):
Yeah, say in football or your job or things like that, as
soon

as he announced and this is perfect to what Murphy
says like as soon as heannounced that he signed with
his team. They basically use thefirst cloud Yeah, because then
they would never use him. Exceptfor like preseason games. They
were using their sporadicallybut in season they kind of kept
on kept them going for like, Idon't know, three, four weeks,
and then they cut them thatYeah. And I mean, the dude has

(35:09):
probably a couple millionfollowers on Instagram and
everything. So it's Hey, sothat's how that's how it is

Murph (35:16):
all you know all sadness aside, I still think it's
amazing and I love talking topeople that have a respect for
the sport like be exact well,I'll always have respect for the
sport like even though we'veseen the dark side, kind of like
they say how the sausage ismade, like, you still have a
respect for it. Like, there isstill meat, right? There is
still that that thing behind itof why you love it. Like means

(35:36):
I've joked about it once. It'slike a crazy ex, like you want
to be done with, but you can'tlet them go. Marriage, you know
that. And I always love talkingto fans like that, or like,
educating people on it. Likeit's a sport that's given me so
much, I'll always love it. Butunfortunately, like everything,
there's a dark side to thingsand so that's like, why I always
want to try and help fans andbeing like, love the sport, love

(35:57):
the place you live in have thatpride. Like that's, that's
really great. But be carefulbecause they will use that
against you as quickly as theycan. Especially in some of these
cities, like especially inCanada hockey so big that they
will not question when thingsare expensive. And they just
like take it. And it's just likelike, yeah, like a typical
Toronto Maple Leafs game. Youcould set like high high up like

(36:19):
high upper bowl that they looklike ants down there almost. And
you are paying easily $300 Atleast for one ticket. And then
you go in there and then likethe tall beers are like this
tall could be like 50 bucks. Oh,it's like one of the most
they're they're like one ofthose expensive arenas in the
war like in in hockey. So yeah,it's crazy. It's crazy. But

(36:41):
regardless, we got sad, but theBengals game that you guys
helped us out with. Thank youagain. That was awesome. It was
a great first experience. I willsay hopefully I don't ruin by
saying this. I was reallyshocked by how the reps affected
the game. Like I really thoughtoh off right now.

Unknown (36:57):
I go off,

Murph (36:58):
I thought it probably should have ended more like
better than what it actuallydid. But there were a few times
and there's some calls where Ithink Zach got a video where I
was coming. I thought this wasfootball, like, what are the
calling phone? Or like, youknow, like, or they would just
make these. They make theseweird calls where I don't I
don't like to put the tinfoil onmy head. But I had to agree with
Zack where I'm like, it seemslike a bigger, a bigger power

(37:19):
has come into this game and beenlike hey, like, you know, one
team, there's gonna be one teamwinning this game. And this is
the team I want to win. And thatwas like, it was just really
weird that the rest of you hateto see that. Like that's not
what reffing supposed to be.
They impacted the game likethat's not what they're supposed
to do. They're supposed to beobjective and they like
interjected themselves into it.
It was like it was bad. It wasbad. But

I am going to God is difficult. I I try to tell
football fans this and theydon't want to listen to me ever.
But it's like this is nodifferent. So this is years and
years and years ago. The NBA hadissues with referees. And
there's a guy that came out Iblew the whistle on some stuff.

(37:59):
It's like all they want want usto call certain fouls. X amount
of fouls X amount they do inhockey, too. Yeah, throw ins,
whatever. Yeah. Just to notinfluence the game. But to make
sure the pace is where

Murph (38:12):
they want to change the style of the game. Yeah, yeah.
And at

the time, I'm like, okay, you know, whatever.
That's, that's one guy. That'sfine. But that was like, like,
probably a year ago, I seesomething with soccer, such as
the same thing. Alright, we wantto get a certain number of
corners certain number of freekicks, like, Huh? So I started
thinking one day, I was like,Alright, there's got to be
something here with the NFLbecause realistically, it is

(38:38):
entertainment. I get it. I'veheard story after story of
people saying like, okay, it'sit's rigged. It's this is that.
I don't think it is rigged, butit's pushed in a certain way. If
they had to, they see anopportunity, they will take it.
Yeah. And I'm not just sayingthis a chiefs fan, whatever.
It's, um, is

Murph (38:56):
x kind of gotten me into it to actually talk to my dad
about at once because we wouldlike, yeah, like even my child
does it but no, yeah, even mydad after an HL game will be
like, you know, what do youthink that call? And I was like,
Yeah, I'm so confused by it,too. But yeah, what so in hockey
when they do when they do avideo review, I don't know about
football. They go to Toronto,that's what they call it. And so
basically, Toronto is where thebig Hockey Hall of Fame as well

(39:18):
as like, the NHL headquarters,you know, they also have went to
New York. And so they alwayscall going to Toronto. And so
there's really this war roomwith these old guys watching the
film and all that buttruthfully, even though there's
80, something games, the NHL, Ithink they factor in how things
are going and how sort of dealsare doing Yeah, and they'll say
let's just give them a bowl hereor something like that. Let's

(39:39):
Let's keep this game interestingbecause just like football,
hockey, they want moregoalscoring. They want like they
don't want hitting but they wantgoalscoring. They want
excitement like that. And that'sthat's kind of the sad I guess.
That's the sad part we talkedabout is is now so many people
just want the entertainment andlike the and they don't
understand the whole gameplay ofthe Like, that's where Yeah, I

(40:01):
somewhat respect soccer, alittle bit of that, you know,
you respect the gameplay in theculture of it where, you know,
hockey, football, basketball,it's all about points and
celebrations and goofy thingsand basically just turns in this
huge circus soccer is on

a good job with Yeah, yeah, kind of embedding
itself in the culture and thenworking its way kind of around
credit. It's funny Mark broughtthat up, because like, when I
was younger, I know a lot ofthings when I was younger,
there's one thing that justreally bothered me. This is when
they first introduced kind oflike a central location for

(40:36):
like, viewing replays. Yeah. So.
So first case for hockey wasToronto, but for us, it's New
York. Oh, they always go withthe call going to New York to
get an extra review. And Ialways hated that. Because I
remember early on when theyfirst initiated a lot of the
calls, were going gets cheeseand like, What the hell do we
have to do? Like, I neverunderstood that. They used to do
these to have an extra refereeand box up and you know, there'd

(40:57):
be a little cubicle for him andlike, Alright, check this over.
This is look good. All right.
What do you think about this?
Okay. Boom. There's your call.
Move on. Right? That's yeah. Doyou have a guy at the stadium?
That's it? That's, that's how weshould be? Because that's my
concern as well. It's like yousend it to a central location
like,

Murph (41:17):
Yeah, well, end of the day. It's a big like, you know,
NHL, NFL, they're a corporation.
They're a big conglomerate. Sothey need to do what's best for
they'll say the sport, but theyalso need to do what's best for
entertainment, and for all that.
So

just think of ancient Rome, where you had a
bunch of those games during that90 day time just to excite the
people. And then the Senate'sdoing all kinds of goofy stuff.
Exactly. Yeah. That's all thatis that. As soon as I read about
that, in the book, in one of mycollege history books, like wow,
this is very reminiscent today,

Murph (41:44):
but I don't want to do the Gladiator. But anyway. Yeah.
Yeah. All right. So I

don't wanna get too gloomy, but it was a great game.
Great game. I, you know, thechiefs didn't do themselves any
favors second half, but the restreally handed to them. The last
two or three drives, and

Murph (41:56):
that, that last thing where they got to replay downs
and all that it was just yeah,that was crazy. Anyway,

yeah, that tackle was not a personal foul.

Murph (42:07):
Yeah, I think Zack, I don't know if Zack will include
it. But I think he like turnedto me. And I literally told all
the cameras like, I thought thiswas a football like, Isn't
aren't they allowed to makethose times? And Zach just
shrugged. He's like, I don'tknow. So

it was I love it when because I couldn't see it
firsthand. But then when theyslowed it down actually know
what this is the problem theydidn't show the frickin replays
not just in stadia, but also Oh,yeah, TV. Yeah, they didn't.
Yeah, I heard from a lot ofpeople can't see it. Like they
bother showing the TVs thatYeah, but it's funny because I
had a couple Bengals fans nextto us are saying, well, so you
guys, I know. That's that's areally bad call. But we'll take

(42:38):
it Yeah. Right. Like, no, atleast you're honest about I

Murph (42:40):
will I respect those fans who respect exactly on the same
Yes, yes. Yeah. Unlike thoseother fans, like, Oh, he did we
do deserve this? And you'relike, oh, yeah, I think that was
the one thing that like, buggedme. That doesn't make sense is
because I guess I'm a littlebipolar. I'm a little like, I
guess I don't think bipartisanthe word but whatever. Yeah,

(43:02):
with my family being sodefensive minded, knowing you,
that's defensive minded. Sothat's the one thing I can't get
over the NFL football is, thewhole idea is you're killing
each other. And you're tacklingeach other. Yeah. And yet,
somehow, they know these rulesthat someone could tip to along
the outer bounds line with theball, and someone goes to tackle
them. And instead of like, intackles them in the

(43:23):
continuation, unfortunately,they go out of bounds. And it's
a magic flag. And I'm like, thetackle was already initiated
inbounds. So it kind of likepromotes these guys as a tiptoe
along the along the goal line,and no one has to or belong out
of bounds line. And sorry, thatthe sideline and no one has to
hit up because they're like, ifI hit a flag, it's like, the
craziest thing to me

that we call a gray area. Yeah. And that is a rough
usually, that's hisinterpretation. And usually his
interpretation is wrong all thetime. So it's a difficult call
to make. Yeah. But that's kindof like that,

Murph (43:55):
guy. God. That's why well, that's why I find it funny
because it used to be back inthe day, like you said, when we
were growing up was, if it was agray area, the ref usually would
just let it go unless it got badbecause he was judging the game.
Nowadays, I think these repsview themselves as entertainers.
So they try to insert themselvesin the games as often as
possible a

turn from the judge of the game to the kind of the
director. Yeah, the game. That'sthe kind of the issue I have
now. Yeah, before

Murph (44:22):
they would as hockey they'd say, let the boys play.
They let him play. Now the restof like, no, no, I'm an author,
authoritarian figure. You willplay my game and it's just like,
it's the weirdest thing. So I'mon top you could normally what
was beautiful about sports isyou go to different areas and
see the different style of play.
They all would do and they wouldcombine to see who was the best
Yeah, nowadays it's you just seewho's reffing and that's the

(44:44):
game they're gonna play and thenthat's it and it's just like
it's it's crazy. Yeah, so battleNHL, I'm sure NFL the same NHL,
they know what refs they knowthe refs so they know. Hey,
guys, we got Macaulay tonight.
He's gonna call this and thatand there's just like they just
it's it's crazy

and NFL is having that problem. Now because the
last couple of years, a lot ofthe older refs started retire so
now you have some like the theyounger reps who are probably
only been wrestling for,

Murph (45:10):
you know, three years for some of those people who might
never played the sport. Mybiggest

problem and this stemmed and I don't care who who
you talk to. I'm tired of thiscrap when the Chiefs play the
Rams on Monday night or whateverthe hell it was a couple years
ago. That's when those like, youknow, combined points was like
over 100 Everyone said to me,this is the best game ever
watch. It was one of the worstgames because first of all,
there was no one stoppinganybody on defense like why the

(45:37):
hell we watching this? Why evenput a defense Simon worth the
time. But that was the game.
They're supposed to have MexicoCity, but then they moved.
Because I guess Mexico decidedall it was a Shakira concert.
And then they didn't put thecoverings on the grass to
protect it. So then it was justall ruined. So they moved it to
LA. Oh, yeah, but they didn'tone thing that they should show

(46:00):
you

Murph (46:02):
on like Texas or something then like a neutral
site. Alright, it

was the thing they ran out of space. Like they
couldn't have they couldn'tschedule anything last second.
But the problem I had was, likeall we didn't really have any
any Reps available like a wholecrew available during that time.
So they took what they call theall star crew that's nitpicked.
And this is like you know, 567man crew they put together

(46:24):
who've never worked together andit's imperative they work
together. Yeah, because theyhave to stay in constant
communication the

Murph (46:30):
fields big Yeah, it's big. So like, you know, you got
one on one sideline got anotherlike, they got to be able to
like look at each other and belike, yeah, I gotta get like and
they all

have like little tiny set like head pieces. So
they all talk to each other likealright, we got holding here we
got this going back going on.
And you can't and I rememberlike the first half of that game
there were so many aggressiveplay calls it I think was ad hoc
Lee son, and it's like, he wasjust like all holding here
holding there, which it probablyis. Yeah, but but but

Murph (46:58):
like that's football they just let that go because like
yeah, that's just what they do.
Only Oh, hold each other

is the problem now because like I always said is
like unless there is a a rivalrygame or something that's getting
starting to get heated. Yeah,then you step in it's like hey,
they started throwing flags onboth sides. Hey, chill out

Murph (47:15):
prevent them from fighting. They don't fight each
other. From fighting. Yeah,

I guarantee you I it's why my dad doesn't really
talk to me about football duringgames because he's like, You
know too much. So it's like Ican tell you where the flow is
gonna go to during a game so ifthere's like if it's heavily one
sided or heavily the other wayand then I'm like these guys are
gonna fight and later third,third quarter fourth quarter
usually does happen because itjust like you don't take control

(47:39):
the game early on secondquarter, you

Murph (47:41):
get out and oh, yeah, that happens in hockey. Oh,
yeah. Yeah, what you do, it'sbad for as much as we should on
before the athletes do getcompetitive. They do you know,
they do get competitive. Ofcourse, it's for their own
reason you gotta sit down. Butyeah, reps have to set that
boundary. And they'll alwaysthey'll always cheat and only do
things. That's why the ref isthere to set the boundaries of
being like this. I'll let thisgo. But I won't let this go.

(48:01):
Yeah, and or they're supposed togive verbal warnings. It seems
like nowadays, that doesn'thappen anymore. Like,

might it's too much, either. It's way too
aggressive. Like throwing flags,or just nothing,

Murph (48:12):
I think too, it's like egos because my dad would say
like, you know, obviously, inhockey, like, and that's the,
that's the whole point of acoach is they have to help the
team, like, get going. Sometimesyou've gotta, you got to yell at
the ref. You got to let themknow like, hey, like, you're
really fucking up right now.
Like, get your shit together.
And my dad was saying, like,back in the day, the rest of it

(48:33):
like, I know what you're doing.
Does your warning stop? If youdon't, I'm throwing you out. And
so then the coaches will belike, throw me out. And so then
they keep cursing and then theyget thrown out. All my dad's is
like, nowadays, the rest willget like verbal altercations
with you. I know then it will gothen it'll be like, You're such
that was such a fucking terriblecall and he'll look Look at you
go, Oh, you're fucking terriblecoach and you're just like, it's

(48:53):
like, You're slow. You'resupposed to be the RAF. Like
what are you doing? Like don'tever engage in that you're
supposed to have thick skin andthen even like coach high
school, like the rest will saysomething. And then I'm like,
you know, you just pissed us offmore and our and our our players
off more. Oh, I say yeah. Andlike, and that's been the
problem. It's so bad. Well, theplayers are horrible treating

(49:14):
rest, I will first Yeah. But therest don't do themselves any
favors. Sure. Because it's likeyou're the adult here. Like,
come talk to me. Come talk tome, then don't tell my kid to go
fuck off. Like, come talk to me.
Like I've had that. I've hadthat happen in front of me once
and I almost got kicked outbecause the guy like said
something to my player. I waslike, You don't talk to you
Don't fucking talk to him likethat. You talk to me. And the

(49:34):
guy looked at me he knew wefucked up and I was like,
exactly, dude, like, a highschool kid.

Like, it's not just, you know, I experienced
that high school level. I'veexperienced it. The higher
levels too but even overseas,that started become a problem.
Yeah, and I hate it. And I usedto always ask these reps and
some of these people are reallynice people. Very good. Awesome
people besides the point but Ialways go up to him like why I'm
here. There's one time thing youhad a game in Germany. I always

(50:00):
have ran up to the guys like,why are you trying to dictate
the game? While I'm supposed toread? Like, no, you're supposed
to judge it, you're dictatingthe flow of the game and that's
why I do not like any that's whyI think you're messing up your
job. So you just worry aboutyourself. I'll worry about my
child's like, well, I'm let youknow, I have to come over here
talk to you again. I'm not goingto be pretty successful, right?
Like, do your job I want to doanything. That's it. It's like

(50:23):
It's like it's

Murph (50:25):
and I understand there have been people in players that
have ruined the ref thingrelationship by going too far or
saying things too much like

in Columbus where they they wedge refs in it you
see the columns the rows aregoing into halftime and someone
took the the oh man is a soda.
Oh no, I missed this one. Thesoda machine dispenser and they
they wedged it up against likewhere the refs were. So they
couldn't get out like so therefs I don't blame them. They

(50:56):
end up suing the school becauseyeah, you know, I don't know
what even

Murph (51:01):
Yeah, I mean, I What does that mean? Why not? And again,
unfortunately, that's also fansI get too rowdy where but of
course, high scores nowadays areI don't know what's going
through their minds like they'rejust they they scarily jump to
things that I'm like, I had tohave to be a certain sort of
pissed off no matter how muchhormones are going. I have to be
like, they still think anymoreand I know the common excuses

(51:24):
like they don't I think that'sit is people have defended them
so much with well, there's somany hormones firing off of the
brains. I can't think clearly.
It's like, we were all teenagersat one point in my Oh, wait, no
point in my life. Did I ever getOh, yeah. Did I ever get mad
enough that I keyed somebody'scar or like, put in a cherry
bomb into a car seat thatthey're gonna sit on? Like,
like, I would never havethought? I don't know. Well, I

(51:45):
might have thought to have gonethat far once but then I've been
like, oh, no, like, I'm not anidiot. Like, no, I'm not gonna
do that. And yeah, it's scarynowadays, how people defend
them. So like, so quickly. Likeit's maybe not the teenager's
fault maybe it's that person'sfault and it just like doesn't
like unless that person isphysically assaulting them like
no like even like no like It'slike call the police there's

(52:06):
like just no

Oh, like you guys will find out maybe maybe not
now or down the road possiblythings ever correct themselves,
which I'm not sure they well.
The key word and all this isaccountability. Oh my god, there
is none. Have fun doing try toinstill I think yeah,

Murph (52:25):
I think as a world like as like just as a world
especially if like COVID hascreated this for us is
accountability. Literally justYeah. Everyone's gunning for
themselves right now. And thatis why we are in such a
shitstorm and we're going to bein it for a long time because so
many people are like, I did thisfor so long. This person didn't
do that. So because he's notdoing it I'm not going to do it

(52:46):
and it just kind of like yeah,the everyone's got to pay the
piper at some point. Like we'reall like, you know, it's it's
just everything in the world yousee it like we know to as
athletes, we you learn this whenyou're in school and you're an
athlete that if you're fuckingsomething up, not giving you the
proper attention, it will comeback to bite you at some time.
At some point every time justlike my investing portfolio. I

(53:08):
have so much stock that I'm nottaking on right now and I know I
gotta pay them crazy fine forit. But that you know, I'm lazy
as fuck right I don't have abill but like, oh no. Yeah, man
we really digress again for Wowawesome awesome chiefs big world
experience.

Oh, yeah. Cheese game was great. Very good. Oh,
very third fourth topic.

Murph (53:27):
I know. Right. Right. Or they listened for they know they
want you know,

Vaughn was the Tyler You were really off chart.

Murph (53:35):
We did Yes.

We did. Get up together right?

Murph (53:37):
No, it's no but that was cool. That was that was the old
the Sunday after New Year's.

Yeah, it was it was awesome. You know, it's final is
great. Go to like a NFL game.
Yeah. Just again to experienceat all every time it's just
funny because I love seeingpeople's first games because
they just kind of get that looklike wow, this is way different
than on TV. Yes. They kind ofget sucked into it. But I was
joking when I was like a man Imust have been spoiled because

(54:02):
once you go to ArrowheadStadium, it's a completely
different.

Murph (54:06):
Like, it's on my bucket list. I feel like oh, now that
I've experienced the first NFLgame now I got to do the first
arrowhead with what everythinghe tells me so that might that's
going to be the goal hopefullythe next few years. Yeah, all
debating on coal depending onCOVID What you know, the country
decides to react to but yeah, itwas like the other thing I was
telling Zack the whole game wasI was shocked. Yeah, how fast it

(54:29):
was. It was not as slow as Ithought it was. Now of course,
it probably was because therewas two awesome gunslinging
quarterbacks that were justshocking it downfield. But it
wasn't so because what I'm usedto when I was younger watching
was it was always the same oldthing. I could still predict it
to this day where it was run andplay potentially a second run
play 13 long toss and then itwas just okay, now we're going

(54:53):
to plant it. And the whole ideawas who was going to mess up the
punting that you would then bein a good area to get a field
goal or touchdown, but now Manright but nowadays you gotta
love that the the playbooks areso more detailed and they study
so much more and there's an Iyou know, I realize now football
players are a lot smarter than Ithought they were and that they
will literally be like maybeit's a run play. Next thing you

(55:14):
know, we're doing a you know,we're doing a Hail Mary and now
we're doing another run play andnow let's do a dump off like
it's just, it's, it's awesome.
It was it's a lot moreentertaining. So yeah, and I'm
not sure if it's just theirstyles of offenses. But you
know, even Joe burrow to thatquarter that wide receiver
Chase, like, scored threetouchdowns literally Joe burrow,
just throw the ball in hisvicinity. He was getting it. It
was the crazy it wasn't like,

you know, he was such a thing like,

Murph (55:38):
the other end of the field and he just got thrown up
here and he just come out ofnowhere is like what has
happened? It

wasn't like he was open like, it just he was being
really I mean, he's beingpressed pretty good. And he just
find a way to get the ball.
Yeah, and then not too much intothat big. The big pass play had.
Oh, yeah. Oh, he threw it to allboom, one cut. Just speed.
Everyone just like missing.

Murph (56:00):
Yeah, man. Just as act. I was like, what happened there?
Like I thought you guys would befast enough to catch him. Like,
he was just fast. He's, uh, hetook the right angle when we
watch and I think it was like awas a everybody orders like a
corner or something overcommitted a little bit. And
because he went like, yes, heovercommitted a little. But
yeah, it was it was crazy. Itwas crazy. Well, yeah. Ah, see,
these

are the things I tell my guys. It's like you
don't over pursue now. If yourealize you're not going to be
the first one there. Alright, Ialways teach them. Yeah.

Murph (56:28):
But make the tackle angle CRB hip. Hockey's the same

other hip, and he can just manipulate where they
go. That's all it is. Andeveryone's just like, oh, look,
football. You're

Murph (56:39):
like, okay, but in all fairness, so they have to make
those decisions in like, twoseconds. So a lot of times,
especially when you're tired,it's cold out, you're gonna
suck. Yeah, you're not makingthe right decision. And you know
what I mean? Like, there's oneoff the field. Oh, yeah.
Especially, that's the one thingI remember training. I'm sure
you're the same way as yourealize when training is that
you're not trained to becomestronger. You're training to
train your muscles of when I amdog tired and don't want to

(57:01):
think they're just going tonaturally take over it just
happened. Like it's just habitlike, yeah,

I woke out to get strong. Exactly. Alright, how
would everybody

Murph (57:11):
know that game was awesome. Thank you guys again,
again, was awesome. Yeah.

Luckily, I mean, you know what, the beers weren't
that expensive. It was pretty.
It was pretty good compared toeverybody else. Yeah, it's like

Murph (57:20):
what Iraq's right. We were pretty the we were pretty
tame. We only have like two.
Yeah, yeah, we pretty tame but

yeah, I was hungry.
Right? Yeah. Right. Buthonestly, it wasn't bad. I only
spent like 30 bucks.

Murph (57:31):
Yeah. Didn't tailgate was kind of hoping to. Yeah, see
that a little bit. But we didn'tget there in time. It was
daddy's out. Uh, yeah, thattailgating place either.

No, they if if you guys ever get a chance to check
out like Cincinnati orCleveland, they're very similar.
Like Cleveland has like a hugeopen parking lot. That's where
everyone does tailgating.
Cincinnati kind of has an inCleveland very similar to this.
They all have like areasunderneath, like the overpass,
but they all just get drunktrolls

Murph (57:57):
now. Yeah.
Charlottesville troll thetrolls.

Give me a beer.
That's a joke. But it's justfunny because you have like one
one parking lots like full ofcheese fans. The other ones are
full of Bengals fans, and justlike kind of sporadic same thing
in Cleveland in Kansas City isso different because the the
stadiums like right in themiddle of this huge parking lot
with the baseball stadium. Andso like, even if you park far
away from the parking lot, andyou're walking up the stadium,

(58:24):
the amount of smells of barbecueyou get in the morning, just oh
yeah hits you. And everyone belike, Hey, you want some you
hungry? You want a beer?
Everyone's like, oh, well, I wasa kid when I went there and they
people go out and

Murph (58:37):
raise it. Yeah. Then well that's like to I know the Eagles
are like that because they sharetheir park like it's like a
sport complex. So they share itwith the flyers, Sixers, and I
think the Phillies and eaglesall have their facilities in
this area. So they all sharetheir parking lots. So even like
before fliers, games likehockey, and again, this is like,

(58:58):
winter, there'll be tailgatingand like that's not a hockey
thing to tailgate but likethey'll they'll do it like it's
crazy. Oh yeah, like I'm sayingMinnesota does it too because
they love hockey and then theVikings twos I think they
tailgate and they're fuckingwinners are terrible.

Oh, don't even go up there. Yeah, that's the
worst.

Murph (59:15):
Those guys they are they are nuts. The Minnesota people
they are not the Viking blood orwhatever. They want to think
that God it's crazy. Like it'slike it. They're not like like,
right seriously, but it's likebut they are they are legit like
they are aren't they will likethe outdoor game. So they just
had so every New Year's Day NHLis an outdoor game I got to go

(59:37):
to at once which was awesome.
And so they did finally St.
Louis and Minnesota in St. Paul,Minnesota, which like, you know,
Detroit's considered like, youknow, like hockey city. But
Minnesota I pretty sure is thethe state of hockey. And St.
Paul itself too is huge forhockey. They have like, they

(59:58):
have like three colleges and allthree games. Colleges, their
universities, there are like top10 Hockey schools, like so much
so that University of Minnesotahas like three satellite
campuses and all three of theirhockey teams are like, top 15.

Zac Saleski (01:00:14):
Like it's crazy.
Isn't Minnesota, Minnesotastate?

Murph (01:00:17):
So it's a it's like Minnesota. Yeah, Minnesota State
but it's the University ofMinnesota, which is in
Minneapolis. University,Minnesota, Duluth, Duluth. Yeah.
And then St. Cloud, which isn'tfar from there, too. And I
thought University of Minnesotahad a third. I can't remember
what it was. But yeah, it'slike,

ever. It's like Mankato State. Which Minnesota
state of my relatives. Yeah.

Murph (01:00:38):
Minnesota State. Yeah, yeah, they're doing well the
Mavericks. Now they're good.
Like they're like top and firstranked right now. Like, anyway,
so

this was it. St.
Cloud, or, or St. Cloud? Yeah.
For the North. Maybe a littlebit. Yes. I remember them being
so damn close. Like these guys.
Yeah. Remember? Like they'refurther or

Murph (01:00:56):
yeah, they are. But it's yeah, it's crazy. So anyway,
they held this outdoor game, andit was like negative and this is
Fahrenheit. It was like negativelike 20 no negative 12
Fahrenheit. And it was Louis soyeah, literally so cold. She
kind of nice right for themliterally so cold and an outdoor
game was the first time in NHLhistory. They had to heat the

(01:01:16):
ice because it was too cold. Soobviously, you know, like it was
Zamboni. No, exactly. So thoughit is Zamboni was just to kind
of like make sure all the the,you know, the nicks and stuff.
Were all smothered down. Thatwas really it. But yeah, it was
like, but it was like, and itwas at I think it was at the
twins. Yeah, it was at thetwins. Park. Yeah, twin stadium,
okay. And it was like, theyfilled two, they filled it with

(01:01:40):
people. And just like and theystayed for the whole thing. They
drank like All that you'rereally seeing these people just
bundled up in this in thisstuff. But they just love it.
And they did it. And like theyshowed hockey players after the
game and like, their beardswould just the daughter or the
sweat was just for Rosen on it.
It's actually kind of funny, St.

(01:02:01):
Louis. They're like pregameentry. They're all wearing beach
gear. So like swim trunks andsandals and all that it was so
funny. But it was a it was areally cool game. St. Louis
killed them. But it was a reallygood game. And though just like
how Minnesota did it wasamazing. Just when we saw I saw
on TV like they, they deserve tohave it and they did such a good

(01:02:23):
job with the camera. They haveit's called the heritage. So but
it's mostly Canadian teams playand that's an outdoor one too.
But Canada has one. Yes. Andthen the one year I think they
had in Toronto No man, I thinkwas Detroit, but Toronto played
them. Sorry to have one thisyear. I'm not sure if they will.
Because right now COVID Isravage Canada. So like, a lot. I
have no, he's not evident. Nope.
A lot of the Canadian teamsright now aren't even playing

(01:02:45):
some of them. So like so the NHLhas come out saying they're
still going to have their fullseason. So they might have to
extend it because there'sthere's like, there's some teams
that have only so a lot of teamsthat played 34 to 36 games, and
there are some that have onlyplayed like 2628 Oh, that's how
far behind they are. And we'reOh, wow. And they're almost all
star games approaching soon. Soit's supposed to be halfway in

(01:03:08):
the season here soon. So some ofthe teams the amount of games
that have left to play is justgonna be ridiculous. So like the
schedules or something schedulesare insane. Like my dad's is
like some of the Rangers asthey're doing a west coast
sweep. So usually East Coastteams, they'll plan their trips
for logistic reasons to play theonly play the West Coast teams
once Yeah, so the planet thatthey're gonna play. All the West

(01:03:31):
Coast teams in one fell swoop.
So that's Anaheim, San Jose. LA,I think sometimes like Vegas and
Arizona, they'll they'll try andcreep those in. Yeah, so that'll
be a week to 10 days on theroad. And literally for my so
that's what right now the rangesare in. So they and it's

(01:03:52):
literally like you travel, maybeyou get a day arrest and then a
game the next day. And thenright after the game, you fly to
the next city, maybe a dayarrest, play the next game. And
then usually near the end,usually near the end of the
trip. You'll they'll give youlike a two day break somewhere.
And then you play a game andthen you go about it. So they
play tomorrow in San Jose. Andthen after that, they go they go

(01:04:15):
they fly back east but theproblem is, is that they then
have a game on Saturday inPhilly. Oh, and that's what's
tough about like, the the EastCoast is like New York, Boston,
Philly, Washington. They're allreally close to each other. So
when you're playing an away gamea lot of days it's like maybe

(01:04:37):
you leave in the day before playthe game and you come right back
and then you play a game at homeand then now you got to go to
Washington and this is like it'sa lot of weird small traveling
like it's crazy. I

just missed the days where I'm baseball. They do
this crap now but I missed theday where like they don't play
like NFL teams. They don't theywait till like the playoffs to
like, you know, actually to thechampionship. They play him,
right. So it's like I missbecause everybody has their own
identity, the way they play andtheir own style. I miss people
just being true to that. Andthen because they don't really

(01:05:09):
get the play, the other teamsare like, oh, you know, we just
do our thing on this coast, youdo your thing on that code. But
I just missed that.

Murph (01:05:15):
I don't right now. Well, but I think again, because it's
such a business. They know thatfans obviously you know, they
like that. And so people willlike Chicago fans travel really
well. So Rangers fans becausetheir original 16 So they
literally anytime, anywhere theygo on the road, you will find
fans there for that team.

It's crazy. Oh, yeah, by the way, last night.
Oh, yeah. Murph, Murph brother.

Murph (01:05:37):
Yep. Play Columbus

for here in Columbus is always an
interesting thing for me,because Connor and Tyler both
kind of came up through the BlueJackets youth system. So it's
always interesting.

Murph (01:05:50):
It's different though, from soccer. And I guess like
football, where it's like, theteam, the team helps the helps a
little bit. But just because youplay for it doesn't mean you're
guaranteed to go do it. It'sjust the system. It's just the
team's way of giving back to thecommunity. So they're like,
we're going to create a travelteam to kind of get our name out
there as well as promote thelocal talent to you know, make

(01:06:15):
our state look better and hockeyand stuff. So that Yeah, so I
get just the lead, because Iknow and I know in Europe, they
do academies. This isn't exactlylike that, because you still pay
and it's just like an extracurricular. But yes, but you do
get to I think every NHL teamhas some sort of this where the
kids can say yeah, then you getlike almost there matching
jerseys. You just say like yeah,I played for the triple A blue

(01:06:36):
jackets. And so like that stufflike that,

just yeah, not to mention too, I think at that
time when they first mate, youknow, created them and Columbus
was not even like really know.
Any.

Murph (01:06:45):
Yeah, when I when they're finally coming on the mat for
hockey, but it was like, No, itwas oh my gosh, I had to really
trudge through some shit forthat.

Yeah, no, I was gonna say that they do anything.
They say anything for Connor?
No.

Murph (01:06:57):
They do I think on the TV announcer stuff like that. But
not always before games. They'llmake little notes but I guess to
to kind of

follow it for like, Well, Sally, then your brother,
right? Oh,

Murph (01:07:07):
they do it a little bit.
But there's just so many gamesnow. That's you can't do it
every time because there'senough fans and the fans I do
know. But like the brother waslike the first like, Yeah, but
when they but when they firstcome in, they do all the pattern
should they do all that stuff.
And unfortunately, as the yearsgo on, it didn't just becomes
more of like a nod of like, oh,you know, this or that? Or
they'll do a little thing on it.
But like, also what they'll dois like so last night, I was at

(01:07:27):
the game. And he doesn't do thisoften, but he actually scored a
goal. Oh, which Yeah, which, youknow, hockey players will say
whatever they want to say butwhen they've grown up somewhere,
and they're able to do that infront of, you know, at a at a
stadium or at some more wherethey've grown up like idolizing
or watching people and stufflike that. Like it packs a
special punch for them. Oh, soyou know, he scored it. He was

(01:07:51):
pumped. He was excited yourbrother? Y'all Yeah, he Sally
pretty hard. And but anyway,yeah, so so that that was great.
And so obviously think so theblue jackets one for certain
projects, Chicago one four totwo. And so after every game
they do three stars. And so ifthey if they wanted to they
could have done all blue jacketsplayers or something like that

(01:08:13):
and I think this is where likethey'll factor in local talent.
So because Conor yeah becauseConnor got second star Yeah, so
he didn't get first obviouslyand then the I think it was
another Chicago player so theyflourishing that first like
flurry something like that yeah,I mean I brought it to bring
bring it cuz he scored I thinktwo goals and gotten a cyst or

(01:08:33):
something. Okay, so to bring itup first and then Connor got
Connor got second and I'm Calvinde Haan who's another solid
defenseman for Chicago scoredhis first goal that games like
they could have given it to himif they wanted to. They could
have given it you know to localguy right well you know two
goals they could have probablygiven it to another blue jacket
player if they wanted to. But Ithink you know they gave it to
Connor gold I think it's a bluejacket play the third the third

(01:08:56):
star they wanted to they couldhave made only one and two they
could have made them three andtwo and then given to break it
number one because they'll dothat a lot of times for the
three stars unless the home teamhas a horrible game they will
usually make most of them thehome team but I think that kind
of factored into Connor gettingthe second store let's start
like it was still a great goaland he had a really great game

(01:09:16):
but I think that stuff likethat's the the the local you
know stuff they given a coursereal hockey fans know all this
stuff already. So like I'll goto bars and like like obviously
I don't look anything like thembut the moment they find out
that that's my brother is therelike oh my gosh, like they just
people you know I don't have toexplain to them as much anymore
right it's funny.

I know it's funny because I even like working in
the Columbus area I always wantto have like people coming in
who do like either their son'sin hockey or just coming up and
I was like oh yeah, like I metbriefly matching all my best
friend his brother came upthrough triple A bluejay Oh, who
is his account? You know, ConnorMurphy like to I like okay,

(01:09:58):
sorry. Yeah. That's like weird,

Murph (01:10:01):
right? Right.

So it's always interesting because it's, you
know, you don't try to namedrop, but it's no, it's cool.
It's cool to see, you know, thatkind of be like a figurehead,
right. That kind of be the goldstandard. I

Murph (01:10:12):
always get this one wrong, but he wasn't the first
Columbus person drafted. No, butI think he was the first
Columbus drafted first round forOkay, I think I believe so. That
that that I that, I think, butI'm not 100% sure on that note,
but I know that those two werethe Yeah, John was not a first
round pick. Just draft overall.
I don't know. Yeah, no. So thefirst one, the first one he

(01:10:33):
actually lives in the sameneighborhood as he works for the
blue jackets farm team. Now hisname is Trent Vogel Huber O is
like a year or two older thanus. He would have been the first
one drafted, I think, fromColumbus or at least close to
I'm sure. Someone's gonna factcheck this and be like, No, I'm
sure there are. A lot. Oh, yeah.
No, I'm sure there are. Oh,yeah. We're over an hour and oh,

(01:10:54):
yeah, I'm sure a lot of like,it's probably happened because
there is there is believe it ornot a if you're like for to
hockey fans, like myself, as I'mlearning more about the hockey
culture in Columbus. Yeah, therewas a very small niche. And
there was a time when hockeywas, you know, Cleveland has
really good good big hockeythese that don't Erin's who were
in the WHA for a little bit,which was like, a subset, a

(01:11:17):
subset of the NHL, you know, andthen, Dayton had a few major
junior teams and Cincinnati hada few big ones. So it's just
like, so like, yeah, theCincinnati had an HL team was
the Mighty Ducks affiliate.
Yeah. So it's like, you know,there there were that stuff was
around. Columbus was a big forus, but I feel like recently now

(01:11:38):
with the Columbus success andnow the triple A team success
with with players like it'sbecoming a little bit on the map
a

little bit here. It gets that point. Yeah, get get a
couple of successful kids. Andthen they're like, Yeah, I want
to be like that.

Murph (01:11:51):
Yeah. So and then.
Anyway, Trent volver Huber wasthe first one that I can
remember. And then like I said,I haven't done any research. But
I think my brother is the onlyone I can think of that's,
that's that grew up in Columbus.
I was drafted first round now.
It's funny if you check his bio,it's been Boston. Yeah. Well, so
yeah. Truthfully, he's fromBoston. But he did not grow up

(01:12:11):
there long enough. So he'salways put like on his playing
cards. He's always put DublinOhio. But I think if you like
found his drafting thing, Ithink they put Boston on there.
That's why like, I've toldpeople from Philly, but I've
only ever even remember livingthere. So like, probably there
for like, what a year. Yeah,yeah, exactly. So I get only one

(01:12:31):
of all our siblings would be mysister. And she would I don't
think she remembers much of it.
But we lived in Florida thelongest before we lived here. So
I was just like, yeah, and she'sfrom Florida. So yeah, yeah, but
I know she's from Atlanta orFlorida now. Yeah. Florida and
then Atlanta was only a two yearstop so I think she probably
remember Atlanta but notFlorida. Oh, I think we left

(01:12:54):
Florida she was still like atoddler or something. So boy,
yeah, fun stuff.

Boy. I'm glad you got that goal though.

Murph (01:13:02):
I was awesome. It was great. Yeah, he's exact knows
he's not a my brother, what wecall a defensive defenseman. So
his job is you know, sticks onthe blue line tries to keep the
puck in on the offensive zoneand he keeps everybody in front
of them taking shots at thegoalie can see like that's his
job. But lately with hot leadthe way hockey is working, which
actually kind of like is theywant they realize if we can get

(01:13:23):
defense more active, you willcreate mismatch mismatches. You
know, in front of the goalie andsometimes you can get your good
players the puck to score and sohe decided to do that he's
always been very smart like thatI decided to come in and he got
lost in coverage and ended up onthe far side of the net with no
with no one like no one evenrecognizing he was there. And he

(01:13:44):
got fed a really great pass andit was from to bring it Yeah,
and then he buried it last Oh,well the The goal is not to
mention to those guys can movethe puck so fast. As a goal
you're trained to kind of alwayskeep your eye on your puck but
you're also having to use yourperipherals to keep an eye on
like what's moving around you.
Yeah, but sometimes especiallyas you get tired and stuff you
get a little too dialed inbecause you know what to bring

(01:14:04):
it cane you know when they gotthe puck at any time they could
throw it on net and it's notit's not like a little like blue
is coming at you so you have tobe ready for it. So I think to
break it did a good job seeingConnor early and knowing that
the moment I get this puck it'sgoing to go over there like he
didn't get selfish with it. Andmy brother put a really good
shot over over because goalieswe train cover the lower part of

(01:14:25):
the net. And he did a good jobof lifting it enough that he got
over the pad and was basicallyin a spot that the goalie was
never going to stop it. Sounless the goalie read it, but
he was never gonna read that. Soit was it was so fast. It was
such a great goal. So it wasawesome. Technically, it was the
game winner because Blue Jacketsscored to make it three to two.
Not too long after that. Yeah,so technically his goal was the

(01:14:46):
game winner even though theywere up three to one at that
time. So yeah, that's prettycool. Yeah, exactly. Right.
Yeah. Boy, yeah, he was pumped.
He always gets pumped. That'sthat was always their goal this
season. So He usually I thinklike 10 was probably his Max. I
don't know. He doesn't reallyscore a lot. That's not his

job. Yeah, it's usually pretty minimal. Yeah,
it's a big deal if he does scoreor even gets in a fight

Murph (01:15:10):
doesn't have a very No, he's not much of a fighter.
Yeah, no, no,

it's so any emotion with them usually don't get a
whole lot of on that.

Murph (01:15:17):
He says he's hard for goals. Like he gets he gets he
gets any hits. He hits reallywell. He can he could really
throw the body around. You justhe just doesn't fight. He talks
trash. We just fight. He's afighter. He's, he's I
unfortunately inherited the thethe muscle in the family. He's a
little like, he's he's six,four, but he and he's like, I
think he says in this car. He'slike to 10 but he's like 5% body

(01:15:40):
fat like he does not look likehe's not a stocky Yeah, he's not
the stockiest guy in the world.
So

I don't drink or eat.

Murph (01:15:50):
My dad my dad played he was six to 190 something like
that. Say they just never hetried to 100 he felt slow. So
it's like, yeah, that's

I think I've ever your dad told me that I was
like, well, you can do you canif your defenseman throw your
body around to 15 be like, smashand do It's like no, slow. Yeah,
I was like so maybe you

Murph (01:16:10):
know, it's such a fast game. Like it's hard. There are
some guys I've done it likeDustin Buffett is like, like to
60 Less you're right, well,that's the wall. Victor
headpins. Like six seven so ofcourse he's going to be to
something like, but yeah, likewho all right. But no. Yeah, I
mean, you can definitely thegames turning that way a little
bit. But it's also bad you. I'vehad the I've gotten to see a lot

(01:16:32):
of hockey players, even some ofthe toughest guys. You see even
street clothes and it's like,you have no idea. You have no
idea look like look like youcould take them on. But you know
what I mean? Like, WayneSimmons, like, I've seen him
before. And like, Dude is like,legs legs or toothpicks. Like
literally like I know. Yeah,razors are crazy. They're crazy.

They snap, they they they blend in so well. You
would have no clue. And you'rejust like, oh, no, that's right.
Cool. But man,

Murph (01:16:58):
you have a you have a slight idea only just because
they like to wear Lululemon andstuff. So it would be like that
nice athletic look that they'rewearing. And that would be by
like, so you could tell. I couldtell I could I could cause a

ruckus, right. Love it one time. Hilarious. Hash
that one.

Murph (01:17:13):
Well, unfortunately, they're not. They're not built
for guys like you. unfortunate,but

I'm not. I'm saying Who the hell will buy $40 for a
hat?

Murph (01:17:20):
Yeah. All right.

What the hell is this crap?

Murph (01:17:22):
They last a long time though. Yeah, they fit really
well. They breathe reallynicely. It's an awesome dude.
They're their boxers and theirsocks are like my favorite
things. Oh my God. Now they'reawesome.

Very, I remember years ago when I went in there
with one of my exes back in theday. And I was like, I look at
like, just the the spandex andit's like $130 like white? No, I

Unknown (01:17:46):
had stupid expense. And you hear like, I'm actually
like,

I didn't realize it. But I was being like, really
loud. And like, why is thisprice and they're like, sir,
it's something wrong. Like, Godthese prices like, just, like
simplest stuff like littleaccessories that are usually
about 10 bucks somewhere else.
Things are 60 bucks. 50 bucks.
What are you You are stealing.
You're stealing people's money?

Murph (01:18:10):
What they do? That's that's how they Yeah. I mean,
you got the money. I don't knowhow to explain it. Like, my
brother gets a gift card fortheir for being in the NHL
because they love dealing withathletes. So they do that stuff
around, especially hockey. Andthat they think they said that's
how they've kind of gotten intothe male market was I'll tell
you a funny story with that. Butoh, so I'll like get the odd

(01:18:32):
stuff. And I just don't know howto explain it. It's like it's
tight, but it's not awkwardlytight. Like everything snug.
It's holding things properly.
Like all that stuff. Like it'sjust it fits really well. It
just it's it's clothes that theylook good, but you don't feel
like you're like, dressed upsuper nice. were true. You know
what I mean? They just fit theyfit all well. I

like the 3/4 cut like spandex. Yeah, it's over.

Murph (01:18:54):
Coffee. Oh, yeah. Yeah, so yeah, so it'd be like that.
Yeah, so but anyway was funnystory. So they there they used
to be really big, obviously withwomen. And then they were kind
of like trying to get biggerinto the market. So they kind of
came up with ideas of like, ifyou're a coach you get like 25%
off as well as so now hockeyplayers and that's why it's so

(01:19:16):
big in hockey culture nowbecause they love you know, they
love Oh, they love comfortablestuff, but it's also very what's
it called? Good for their figurekind of stuff like you know,
like it promotes the rightstuff. And so they so they like
it so they made a deal that Ithink if you're like an NHL
hockey player, or if you do adeal with a company called Bauer

(01:19:37):
you can have money put towardstheir stuff so you get like a
gift card. Hmm. So but back whenI was in college it's a huge
thing for Chicago people Chicagothey love little them I think
they might even started No,Chicago loves to overspend on
things and it's true thoughthere it's expensive city just
like you want New York is agreat city but great. New York
is way more expensive do I thinkbut yeah. Anyway, but did all

(01:19:58):
the big cities are yeah So allthese guys I used to play hockey
with from Chicago. They were,you know, taking business
classes. So what happens whenyoung guys taking business
classes, they all think thatthey can run businesses and
invest and all that stuff,basically, you know, they were
basically becoming investmentbros. And so they wanted to, I

(01:20:21):
heard the story, we're on a teambus ride, I forgot where we're
going. But I heard them tellingthe story. And they said, so
they were like, you know, aLululemon store, look at some
stuff and they're talking to thepeople working on like, hey,
like, you know, do you guys dotake on investors or things like
that, like, what do we need todo to like, get a little more
into this? And they're like, oh,you know, they gave them some
stuff and some and some like,pointers and all that. And they

(01:20:43):
just said no, do you mind weasked what are you guys hockey
players? By any chance? They'relike, you know, they're like,
Yeah, we are like, you know,like, oh, how are you? How are
you able to tell that andthey're like, Oh, they're like
well because really the onlypeople that want to invest and
enjoy Lululemon so much are thatare male are either hockey
players or gay guys? So yeah, sothat was that was the the funny

(01:21:12):
story they were talking aboutwas like, yeah, so obviously,
and at first they started as awomen's apparel and now they're
getting heavier into men'sstuff. Like, literally when I
first went in there when it wasbecoming popular. It was like,
you could find maybe some shortsand some boxers and some socks.
That was it. Everything else. Itfelt awkward because everything
else or women's stuff,

or the European audiences, it's basically
GymShark but more expensive.
Yes,

Murph (01:21:32):
yes. Believe it or not.
Oh, yeah. And then so then nowthey will divide like half the
store men and half the storewomen. I think they still they
still pander to women a littlemore, but they have more men's
stuff. Like I think I have aLululemon coats not super thick,
but I have a coat, you know,track pants. Hats,

probably 2014 They wanted to cater. Like they were
trying to cater to men. Butyeah, like you're saying that
they they just they had a hardtime bridging that gap.

Murph (01:22:00):
Yeah, the trouble is they will never be Nike Under Armour
like they won't be those thoseare like the solid male stuff.
And so I think now what they'recatching on to and realizing is
okay, we can't compete likethat. So we will get like the
rich niche market of athleteswhich was a lot of unfortunately
a lot of very wealthy people noware becoming athletic because

(01:22:21):
they were probably nerds andwhatever and now they're like
I'm gonna do all these sportsand do all this stuff. But yeah,
they're they're kind ofrealizing and then also
realizing to the women market isjust killing it. Like,
literally, girls don't want tobuy Nike and Under Armour they
want Lululemon or

what happened was they were killed. I mean, the
women market started to dwindleand because their husbands like
why the hell you spend 1000s ofdollars on this stuff? Yeah, I
don't

Murph (01:22:45):
think so. Dude, girls ask good Lululemon,

but they do.

Murph (01:22:50):
It's like, I hate to say it, but men talking about like,
Under Armour and that's why therock collabs with them and Nike
and all that and women likeNikes trying to get to women. I
think women like Nike, but theylove Lulu more like literally. I
know like my sister mom,particularly would kill people
for Lulu like gift cards. Likemy brother gets blue gift cards.
He gives them to her like I tothem, I don't even get a chance

(01:23:12):
to use them much. I used it asmy brother for stuff for
Christmas. Literally the momenthe gets the gift cards, my mom
and my sister just all over

it. How would you get on those? DS? No, I

Murph (01:23:23):
think it's like I think it's it's all about where you
can put his money to but then hetries to go three 400 bucks,
something like that. But theproblem is two shirts. Yeah.
Yeah. It's like four things likeyeah, if you're lucky. Yeah,
it's it's not. It's But in allfairness, I get it. laughs
pretty good. Like I've had, I'vehad little things that have
lasted for. I know that soundsgross, but have lasted for four

(01:23:46):
years. And I mean, I cleaned itall properly and all that and it
they last like now they'restarting to show signs of like,
I have to throw it out. Butlike, like, socks don't rip,
like all that stuff. It's crazy.
Like it's just a

that's like I tell people all the time Under
Armour. It's probably the stufflike I love it's so comfortable.
Like, it doesn't really breakdown as fast as like Nike. Nike
just drives me nuts. I love thelook of it. But yeah, it breaks
down

Murph (01:24:10):
Nike fits weird Under Armour is definitely a better
it's a more no offense to yourto the audience, but or American
fit. Whereas like little likeLulu and Nike can be a little
bit of a Euro fit where I canget a Nike shirt that's an extra
large and be like, Why the hellis it feel like I'm wearing a
small whereas like, you know,like Under Armour, like the

(01:24:32):
sizes or the sizes like if it'san extra large it's an extra
large like I don't know Nikelikes to play with their fits
every once in a while and itpisses me off because I'll pay
like true good money forsomething online. And then I get
and I'm like, this isn't anextra large like, what is this
and you find out they're like,oh, did the ego super slim. You
know, mocha fat. You're like,what is this? Like? It's just

(01:24:53):
large, extra large. That's all Ineed. And it's relaxed fit. It's
muscular. Like this is like,like It's also stupid but

it's like I read the Save they deal with like 2x
or Excel like sometimes Excelstuff will fit but 2x kind of
fits comfortably to kind of, buteven then it's these with Under

Murph (01:25:13):
Armour, you know, you're signing up for either extra
large or large depending on thefit, whether it's like the slim
athletic fit or the natural fit,like I know that was like and
that's what I love about it. Andit's it's pretty good. Yeah,
loose fit. Under Armour stuff.
always the best. Yeah, yeah. Andif it's good, I like it. You
know, when I'm going No offense,but I'm going a little cheaper.
I will go under armour comparedto Lulu and then like, whereas
Nike is just like so just onit's just so weird to me. I have

(01:25:36):
a few Nike things just such aweird fit that I'd have to be
like in a store to try and Nikeon I don't order on the pair to
Lulu right God I know. Yeah. Idon't I don't know. I said it.

I said would you say price demo? True. Exactly.
Alright. Calm shark. Truth.
Alcohol choose. Oh, there we go.
Here we go. Give me some youthBoy. Boy. New Year

Murph (01:26:02):

The dude that tries to get into his cars he's
sleeping because he wants tohook up like well, they go
inside

Murph (01:26:29):
you see it's so bad Chicago that everything's iced
over? Yeah, yeah, hell freezeover seriously. Like they said
like the literally like the thesidewalks are like, iced over
like none of the heating seemedto work or something. So like,
my brother was. My brother wassaying he loves his small
girlfriend had to take their bigSamoyed dog for a walk. And the

(01:26:49):
dog loves the pole. So the dogsjust pulling her and she's
trying not to fall on the icedoesn't fall on the ice. Oh,
that was bad.

like

negative three Celsius maybe I don't know it's
honestly it's like it's weirdbecause like now usually we're

Fahrenheit it's 32 degrees isfreezing and so it will get so
low that it's like likeliterally the beater I'll just
be like it's too cold snow likewe'll get like they call these
like Arctic blasts. Well Doesthis come through and the

(01:28:00):
thermostat what is Minnesotaright the thermostat will just
dropped like zero degreesFahrenheit which is like you
can't even go like you normallygo outside you're like your
everything just chaps up it'slike it's too cold like it's
crazy.

Somebody say chap

Murph (01:28:12):
yeah

but honestly I I don't actually don't mind it
it's the snow that packs up withice I really I hate Oh yeah, I
hate that blend. So it's likehonestly I'll take the cold any
day of the week but I know we'regonna get frickin side slept

Murph (01:28:30):
well yeah right yeah problem is Ohio is always great
with it'll snow and it willstick and then next thing you

a we every nice day you'll get a 50 degree weather
day and then you know your yoursinuses will be through the roof

Murph (01:28:52):
as is where the cold season goes up yeah it's always
fun

and then we got a new strain

Murph (01:28:58):
meter in France poor quality all right yeah I'm

here Mr. Mark Andhra Yeah, exactly. Sorry. You
forgiven we've got any any any Iguess resolutions things you
want to do this year? But sorrythey

Murph (01:29:23):
totally I'm just keep keep trying to learn my German
still doing that. Oh, yeah, it'snot not going It's um, feel
really good on it on the on theapp. But then like when I
carried over the real world, Ifeel like I learned nothing. But
you know, nothing. Exactly. Butyou know, keep doing that. Try
and read some more. I got awayjust do all the reading in

(01:29:44):
college. Just kind of get sickof it. So wanna try get back
into some reading you're gonnalove it actually have a book. My
girlfriend got me for my 30minute start reading about it's
like the own miracle team.
Canadian team was leveled likeof the Winter Olympics where
they're a bunch of amateurs. SoI'm going to read about that.
You know,

so they about to say a book of fairies now.

Murph (01:30:05):
Yeah, exactly. No. I'm really excited. I actually your
guide all right, you're gonnalaugh but I also have read
something online I think want todo I think it'd be a really cool
experiment was they say like,you should reread some of your
old favorite books as you getolder because you'll be in a
different mind frame and justkind of seeing how things are. I
love it. Well, okay. Yeah, so Ihaven't done it yet. Because I'm

(01:30:29):
really bad about I'm a slowreader. So because I'm such a
slow reader. Things stickpretty, pretty clean. Yeah, but
it's been so long. I'm going toreread the Harry Potter books as
kind of like, you know, turning30 New Chapter My life just
start with those. That's whatgot me into reading. So I even
got the I got I think they onlydid the first four, I got the
illustrated versions. So I'mgoing to read those at some

(01:30:50):
point. Damn, yeah. So they'repretty big books. But I'm gonna
read those. And then honestly,I'm really bad about just
picking up random things and,and like saying, I'm gonna do it
and then dropping other thingsoff. So like, it's always like,
learn to invest. And then like,four months later, I don't know.

(01:31:11):
Yeah, yeah. Like, it's justlike, I'm really bad about that.
So I think that'll be the othergoal is that whatever I commit
to just go full fledge into it.
So how about you?

Oh, nothing. What I mean, other than this, growing
the YouTube go in the podcast,but I, I mean, those I'm already
investing. I'm already doinglike two different side things.
I don't know. Okay, I'm just I'mtrying, oh,

Murph (01:31:38):
you're killing it. My bad. I'm not killing it.

Like to get to a point where I can like make a,
you know, I guess, for me,basically just be able to pay
off a good chunk of my, youknow, bills every month just
with investing or other stuff. Ilike to get there. Eventually. I
like to get into like, I don'tknow, maybe. I know. I don't
have the money. But I'd love tokind of be involved with

(01:32:02):
business, I guess. And kind ofit's a very broad, I guess, I
don't know being investor andwinners. Okay, gotcha. If I ever
had the money I loved Yeah,something like that. And just
kind of

Unknown (01:32:12):
entrepreneur. Yeah.
Okay, that's fair. I'm startingto get that I can see that. I'm
starting to

get that sparking back in my head. Like, I can do
this. So it's nice. Oh, no,there's something I've kind of
been doing long term and there'sa bunch of other things on my
list. I'm like, I want to startdoing this now. Cuz I've been
putting it off. Yeah. But thenI'm hearing each other that
other social media stuff oflike, Dave, I don't have time.

Murph (01:32:36):
Yeah, actually, that's I got to start posting more on
social media. That should be myyeah, there's resolution. Yeah.

People want to they want to get at you on social
media man. Get all update you.

Murph (01:32:45):
I mean, they can I just don't post anything. I have
social media. So just don't domy Facebook. Don't get on
Facebook. I think. I think Imight think I might delete
Facebook. I'm kind of it's kindof the Facebook at the Facebook.
Sorry. I like to kind of dumb Ithink I might just stick to
Snapchat and Instagram.

Oh, it's just sounds so weird. All right.
Follow me on Snapchat. Why?
You'll see.

Murph (01:33:07):
Yeah, you don't need to do Oh, I don't know who you are.
I won't follow I won't let youanyway. So it's

we got you got to put your Instagram was public.
So people here can find you andbe like, Hey,

Murph (01:33:17):
I thought you tagged me in the Instagram stuff.

I cuz I'm, um, I can tag you but it's like your
profile still private?

Murph (01:33:26):
Oh, I have to set to public now. Yeah, you get all
the weirdos adding me? Well,unless the SEC spots or whatever
you call those? They're gonnathirst traps. There's the thirst
traps what they call them. Buttheir spots? I don't there. So
thirsty bots, or something likethat.

Really dehydrated?
Yes, they're

Murph (01:33:43):
very, you know, someone's gotta calm down.

That's like a Canadian.

Murph (01:33:49):
Lumpy, they don't have enough water. It's no, no, it's
ourselves, not Fiji.

What is this high class water out of here. But uh,
hopefully, I mean, I got I gotplenty of different, I guess
projects of mine. I've beentrying to get done. And
hopefully the weather turns andI don't know what's going to
happen with recruiting thisyear.

Murph (01:34:09):
True. Fortunately, like, now you get really busy with
your football side of work, aswell as like, especially here in
Ohio, like Zach was saying,like, the weather gets so bad
that no one really even wants todo anything. So it's kind of
like true, like, literally by myone year anniversary is coming
up my girlfriend. I'm trying tothink of things and I'm like,
it's not a lot to do because theweather gets shitty. And then
like, because COVID Things areclosing early still. And nobody

(01:34:32):
wants to work in these kind ofjobs. And it's

still like, it's like your COVID hours and a lot
of places. Yeah, and then

Murph (01:34:39):
that's the weekends things are closing like 10
o'clock. You know, like, this iskind of sad. Like it's just it's
getting kind of crazy. Becausenobody and I don't blame them.
Nobody wants to work the foodjobs anymore. Things like that.
Like it's just like it's gettingbad.

It's It's so weird.
And then and then, like Murphsaid to it's the weather here.
It's I mean, if you're

Murph (01:34:58):
gonna put on weight around now like gets Yeah, have
you ever heard the term of like,

you know, wait, if you don't like the weather in
Ohio to wait like 10 minutesit's so true because it's
usually gets

Murph (01:35:07):
worse though not like better. Like it's like it'll go
from cloudy like okay just wait10 minutes okay? It's raining
too then it's okay, it's hailingto the ends like where did this
wind come from knowing likeYeah, but why is Tyler naked
outside like I don't know it'sweird. My Erica well yeah,
exactly.

No, like it's it's so bad like no I remember
talking to a lot of peoplearound here they always say like
I'm gonna leave and go toArizona or somewhere hot
everyone always says that. Yeah,I don't know. Whatever. Yeah,
but everyone wants to lean backright it's the next month is
going to be kind of cold andthis is

Murph (01:35:44):
this is the Yeah, this is when what the winter blues they
call it whatever like this iswhen it hits like this is the
seasonal depressions this iswhen it hits right around here
because you're out of theholidays. Nothing really much to
look forward to until take yourvitamin D Exactly. Right. What
would you say? Probably ProbablyMarch no marches will get a lot
of rain and it's April right

March it breaks a little April it'll break a
little bit more I meanconsistently though, I mean,
Lady roll may or may not reallyabout May it's

Murph (01:36:11):
Yeah, but somehow with like somewhat March and April
though, I guess you know, it'slike along the horizon so you
kind of deal with a littlebetter it's like literally these
months of January or Februaryand a little bit of March it's
like it is painful. And I thinkjust because you don't see the
sun that much it's either it'sgray and cloudy, raining
snowing, or gray and cloudyagain and that's usually what
you get and then you get maybeone sunny day a month

and so it's fun seeing the most depressed people
coming oh yeah, it's yeah, it'slike the weather so bad. Like so
bad.

Murph (01:36:41):
