Indianapolis Colts and their struggles on offense and clock management
(01:23):
to start the show. When it came to Monday Night football,
what about Kenny p How about Kenny Pickett? Uh, that
was probably the best game of his young NFL career
in prime time. I don't know, Brady, I saw some
things there. If you're a Steeler fan, you're looking at
that going okay, like this is starting to see some
growth there from the rookie at a at A Pittsburgh,
their hometown boy does good big time on the road.
(01:46):
That's its helf defense you went up against in the Colts,
and I thought he had a pretty solid first half,
very efficient. You start to see the chemistry developed between
him and George Pickens, those two, uh, you know, coming together,
are coming together in a rookie class. And given the
fact that you kind of forgetting Rabisky started the season,
you know, you wonder how much further along Kenny pick
(02:07):
it would have been had they just made him a starter.
You know, and gave them all the reps this off season.
It's it's one of the reasons why I feel like
if you just go with the first round quarterback, just
play the guy, you know you're you're you're only delaying
the inevitable. And I think in the case, uh, you know,
regardless of who you're talking about, you want to play
the guy and get him in there, unless unless you
(02:27):
know you've got a quarterback he's playing at a pro
Bowl level, right And that's where like you look at
the Chiefs and what they did with Alex Smith and
Patrick Mahomes, like that was a luxury for them, right
Like they went and got a talented guy who could
sit and watch for the first fifteen games of that
season before I don't think he played until week's seventeen,
last game of the year. Um, you know, that's a
(02:49):
luxury to have. Most teams, if you're drafting you know high,
or if you're taking a first round quarterback like that,
you know you need to play them and so get
him in there, get him some reps, and then allow
him to build, like we saw Kenny Pickett going in
there and getting a nice win in primetime. Come out,
LaVar your Stillers. They got a quarterback. I mean, is
(03:09):
that what we want to call it? I mean, listen,
he made some good throws. Pickens has been I mean
when he doesn't drop the ball, which hasn't been, Like
I guess a crazy, crazy scenario playing out this year
with dropped balls. You got Friar Muth. You know who's they.
They referenced him as his safety blanket yesterday. I mean,
(03:29):
they have some good pieces in place. Uh, you got
a running game. I mean they got three running backs
and McFarlane, Snell and uh and naj. But they still
gotta build up their offensive line and they have to
have more output from their their offense. I mean, they
need to get a new offensive cording. There you go, there, well,
(03:51):
there you go. I mean I was, I was, I
was slowly walking down, walking him down the plank. But
I mean, if you don't, if you don't change some
of the things in the approach, then I guess the
point I was getting at is, yeah, you may have
your franchise guy, but it may not play out that
he turned into your franchise guy. If that made any sense,
(04:13):
you may actually waste the window of opportunity because in
the developmental stages of of his young career. You're you're
retarding his growth by by not by not developing him
and teaching him the tools that he would need to
be that that developed mature leader for for the team
(04:37):
moving forward. It does feel like Pickett was making some
plays at the past couple of years would have probably
been sacks because Roethlisberger had no ability to get out
of trouble and so he is extending plays with his feet.
And it looked like they were actually committed to the run.
That's always been an issue. They've been one of the
worst rushing attacks for the past like four or five years, seemingly,
so just it does feel like they've got a little
(04:59):
something going there. I mean, I'm not here to call
from Matt Canada's job. I felt like that was a
little bit cruel, a little bit, a little bit uh,
a little bit awkward. You know, I'm always saying what
Steelers fans are thinking. You know, it's it's it's literally
been the entire season. There's a lack of creativity and
just overall situational. You know, you think he's out after
the season has to be that's pretty quick, you know,
(05:24):
the Steelers, they're so loyal to their coaching staff and
and look, it's not like an indictment on him personally,
it's just the fact that he has not been good
as their play caller. And Ben Roethlisberger has said as much.
I think the fan base feels this way. He's been
the one common denominat. It doesn't matter if it's Roethlisberger
Forbisky Picket. It feels like it's always an uphill battle
with them, and I just few and far between. And
(05:48):
I think in this league, in the NFL, if you
can't excale, excel schematically, you get exposed. And I think
they've they've really struggled, and that's that's gonna be a
tough conversation at the end of the season. So there
is I mean, the Pittsburgh Steels they got a quarterback,
but they're gonna be in search of potentially a new coordinator.
Pickens looks like the Goods. That's also part of the
reason why they traded Claypool, right. I mean, you saw
(06:10):
what you had in him, and you figure, if somebody's
gonna give you back a second round pick that he
used on and why not make the move. You know.
The sad thing about that is, Claypool is a perennial
All Pro top receiver in the league in a different scheme.
My opinion, I think he's he's top guy. And I'm
not saying top guy isn't like number one. I'm saying
(06:32):
he's in the conversation with top guys. If their offenses,
if their offense is differently but handled differently because of
the amount of talent they have in Pittsburgh, and and
then the idea of being able to establish a run,
I would I would see him having way more production
(06:55):
than what took place. So to say they got rid
of him because they knew what he was, I would
say that that would be the accuracy would be more so,
we see what we're not capable of doing or what
we're trying to do. And for one reason or another,
they felt it necessary to move on from him, and
(07:15):
that might have been to try to find value to
rebuild this team as they move forward and get that
value that way. Well, they just gave Deonte Johnson some
money in the offseason, and it you could see, especially
we talked about in the preseason, like Pickens was making
plays in the preseason and it was like, oh God,
they've done it again. They found another wide receiver, and
it just felt like they're like it never really clicked
(07:39):
with Claypool and Pittsburgh, Like, you know, Mike Tomlin, you know,
made some comments publicly about you know, in Claypool might
have rubbed some people the wrong way there. And then
if the Bears are gonna call you up and say
we'll give you back that second round or you spend
on him, why wouldn't you make the deal? I mean,
if you feel like you've got enough pieces there and
you and you trust and George Pickens, why not make
(07:59):
the deal. And so, you know, the Steelers going to
the draft right now, they're sitting with a they're sitting
at twelve. We'll see how, you know, the season progresses,
but they're gonna end up with another top pick. And
you would imagine what old line at that point is this?
Is this a decent old line draft? Are there guys
they're like there have been been prevous years or is
this gonna be oddly enough? One of the top prospects,
(08:21):
uh Fashana is that he pronounced his name of a
Penn State is coming back, coming back, Yeah, which I
was gonna say, like he had been a top fifty pick.
I don't I don't know who's given them that advice. Um,
you know, I just he to me is on top prospects.
We are he's a school kid. That's great, But I mean, dang, dude,
(08:44):
like he's turning down in my opinion from from what
I've seen and then what I've heard is like he's
a secret that no one wants to get out and
it will be in the top half of the first round.
Maybe maybe I'm wrong in what I've seen and people
I've talked to, but there's a lot of people who
are really really high on this young kid. He's only
went like nine team. Yeah, no, you're not wrong, and
that's and that's like that's the thing too, is there's
(09:05):
value in that in like any organization that drafts him,
because there will draft him high. They know that he's
already really athletic, plays at a high level, has a
lot of great tools. But he's only going to get
better and they could have him for a decade and
the dude would be thirty by the end of it.
Like it's just it's kind of crazy to think about that,
(09:26):
but um, yeah, I guess he just wants to stand school.
Come on, I mean academics first. Yeah, Like, let's be
clear here, I mean he's an academist. Him and his family,
they're academic first family. I mean he's you know, obviously
you know the name, so you can draw your conclusion
as the way it's twenty three millim reads. Um, what
would it? What would I say African? Like like like
(09:49):
Berto gets Mexican. See, I'm not I have to say
black because you know, well I don't. I'm not from Africa.
Same here, you know. I love how we could love
to say American free advertising. Right, I'm not sure it's
the one they won, but yeah, I will say this though,
I do be making this show racial racist sometime racial
(10:11):
sometimes that's just interesting. Um, you know, he they're just
he's probably not allowed to leave until he gets his
his get his degree. He's probably not allowed them. I
will say something about that, like for anybody who left early,
Like you know, it's harder to go back and get it, right.
I haven't gone back, yes, and I've had I've had
the offers of getting it to go back free. I've
(10:34):
had World Campus. I remember I started the process of
it to go back and get it double major. So
it was like I put all my credits together and
I was like, right there, and I went online to
start doing it, and then I looked at what the
time commitment was. Yeah, I can't wait about say I
(10:57):
wouldn't like you instead of instead yeah, instead of accepting
the challenge, I fell asleep. Like I started reading. I
was like, man, this made me feel and then I
woke up. I was like, this made me feel something
that I felt back in the day. Like that's that
stress hits you, you fall asleep. Man, I'm almost forty,
and like I remember taking quizzes and tests and stressed
(11:20):
out about it. I'm like, what what? Why am I
so stressed out about this? Like it's for like my
m b A, Like I'm good. It's like if you
don't get it right, but then now if you don't
get it right, it's like kind of like who cares?
Like this isn't changing my life, No one will ever
know it matters. It matters to me, that's until but
(11:41):
it has to. That's the only way I've caught Brady
as he's getting ready for one of his exams or quizzes. Yeah,
just a miserable human being. That's why we'd be having
our moments on the show. I'll be trying to figure out,
like what did I do to Brady an exam coming?
You got an exam? Yeah, that's got it. That's what
I'm saying. See, and you probably if I looked out
(12:02):
a picture you before you started your schooling, I can
guarantee you look at disclosure. All right. I had a
group because some of it's not always examples like group work,
and I'll just I'll say it. I had students who
were all over, like I'm not saying all over the country,
like over the world. So we were trying to do
a group project dealing with different time zones, You're dealing
(12:25):
with different cultures of people, and so in doing that,
like not only sometimes is there a language barrier, but
there's also like a difference in culture when you're you know,
the way people talk to each other and the way
people like handle work or when they can do work,
and so it's just it was interesting experience to then
(12:46):
try to get everyone on the same page for what
accumulated to be like the biggest grade of this group project.
And again, depending on the work hours, like obviously our
work hours are kind of early, but you know, that
we've got some free time. Other people like our in
bed if they're over you know, you know, if they're
like in a different, completely different country across the world.
(13:07):
So that became one of the biggest stresses, and you
start to realize, man, like people like Jeff Bezos, people
who have got these like big, big, huge companies where
they're global it's it's seven three sixty five, like it's NonStop,
Like I have the utmost respect for how they go
about managing that and running that because you could always
get someone with something for you at any moment, any
(13:28):
second of the day because of the different time zones
and the different issues that you would deal with that
we don't think about here, but we think about you know,
you think about somewhere else when you look at the
way their culture is so and then you get irritated.
You get irritated because you don't get irritated. You get
frustrated because you're like, man, this could be so much simpler,
(13:51):
but it's it leads to the irritation, Like every look,
you know, what I've I've realized in my older age
is that the goodness bank that you have, the grace
bank that you have, is a real thing if somebody,
if you're using that grace and that that you know,
I guess patients on one thing, you're not gonna have
(14:12):
enough for other things. And so it's like you start
like the littlest things will irritate you. The littlest things
like well, we'll make you feel a certain type of way,
like sitting next to Jonas like if my bank isn't
built up, I will flip out. You just stop your
opinion made opinion so you could do a blown dart. Yes,
(14:36):
I will develop too much. One girl yell at us
all the time, and then I was like, oh, that's
just how she communicates, Like she just yells all the time.
Like that's not like that's that's just part of how
she is. And like it took me like three different
meetings after her yelling at everyone for a while because
I was gonna, like I kinda slid her a note.
I was like, hey, you know, well it wasn't that.
(14:56):
I was just like, maybe we could just be a
little more calm, but but she was like very militant
and like yelling at people, and I was just like, man,
And then I was like, oh, that's just kind of
how her culture is everything else. There was another girl
who was like a robot and like you just like
if you didn't speak like her language. Um not not
even like the actual like language, but I'm saying if
you didn't speak like the business language with her, it
(15:18):
did not compute. She was just like I don't even
know what to do with that, like no jokes, nothing,
straight business. And I was just like, okay, Like it's
just it was a really interesting experience. But what do
you think that like many of those people you were
in class with, like doing group study with, you think
they've ever been like hanging out or at a gym
onu of treadmill and they're watching the TV. All of
a sudden they see you on Big newon Kickoff and
(15:38):
they go, oh man, like they had no idea they
were part of a celebrity's life for a short time.
I had a groupmate actually texts me this weekend he
was watching the game. He's in the States. There's the
two I'm referring to. No, they don't watch American film.
That probably doesn't even interest them, not at all, Like
(15:59):
they don't don't know what they watch sports. To be
quite honest, for them, my daughter told me the other day.
You do know you're not important to everyone? I said,
that is an amazing way of keeping your daddy grounded
response or no, no. I appreciated her her candidness and
(16:20):
and you know her, you know her approach to the conversation.
Like I had something to say and I said it
to her, her mom and she seven, by the way,
so and her response was that you do know that
you're not important to everyone. Kids say the darnest things. Man,
(16:41):
my daughter, I was like, I love you, give her
hugging kiss, and she just, yeah, you come and give
us a hugging kiss. And then then what it's like,
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta go to my job, right,
I've gotta fly out. I'm sorry, Like that's part of
daddy's job. It's like I can't explain to a six
year old, Yeah, I I've found my place when she
(17:02):
did it, because she put me in it, I certainly
found my place. And you know what, My conclusion was
very quick and it was concise. You're right, your kids
speaking English, it must be nice. It is two pros
and a cup of joe here on farm. I mean
it's berts here today. Yes, talking a little bank. You know,

we're gonna have the results of our prop at monster
(18:57):
from last night. I feel like, uh, somebody's about to
get screwed over. I don't know love that. I know,
I was awful. I mean I missed on the gloves.
I didn't think he would wear gloves, but he does
always wear gloves. I was just trying to make a
bold prediction that he would. He literally has always worked that.
(19:20):
I just wanted to do it. And what if I
was right? It was indoors too, Yeah, it was indoors.
That's why I said it. I mean that would have
been a possibility. I mean little hands pick it. Yeah,
all right, that's working for him. He got him stretched out. Yeah,
how do you get your hands stretched? You got surgeries
for that, just like a massage and all that. They
do have surgeries for surgery. Would to get extensions in
(19:44):
your hands? Yeah, make them longer? How I mean, you
gotta pay for that. Yeah, they can make people taller.
We I talked about that, Yeah you did. Yeah. What
do they do? They add like just something in your back,
like an extra like literally like add on length to
your femur or something. Unless seems painful, that's a lot
(20:05):
of work for an extra couple inches. It's time to
stop treating your groins like junk. Introducing the Gillette Intimate
Pubic hair Trimmer, a gentle and easy shade from America's
number one trusted men's grooming brand. Show your pubic regions
some respect with Gillette Intimate, the best a man could get.
(20:31):
You don't have to worry about that one. That's probably
a little extra. Two right, Okay, you don't want to
be disrespectful. You want to reduce the length? Yeah, clean
up down that. Yeah, otherwise it's disrespectful Number two earlier
(20:52):
spring cleaning, you know. Uh So, apparently Lamar Jackson and
Lamar Jackson was really pissy about loss over the weekend
the Jacksonville Jaguars, so he went at it with a
couple of people on social media. Uh he told one
guy to eat a bleep what yeah? And um, and
(21:13):
then of course that was spun into being uh, you know,
was he like a homophobic reference or something like that,
And I think anybody you know Lamar Jackson sort of,
you know, clap back on that and said, well, you know, you're,
you know, stop disrespecting my name, and you know you're
you're you're taking it out of context and all this
(21:36):
just sort of he had a bad run on social media.
He deleted the tweets, and so his coach John Harbaugh
spoke yesterday with the media about the back and forth
with Lamar Jackson and the people on Twitter, and here's
what John Harbor had to say. It just beg guys
not to get into the Twitter world right after the game,
especially after a loss. It's never gonna be positive. It's
not gonna be a nice place. I think that's kind
(21:57):
of reflected in the Mars response because what he said
it was just so out of character for him. That's
not the way he speaks, it's not the way he talks,
is not the words he ever uses. I've never heard
him say things like that before. Mark Jackson. You know
you've been around him, He's got one of the biggest
hearts of anybody. I know. You all have seen him
the way he treats people, the way he treats kids,
way he treats the media, And he's also one of
the biggest competitors I've ever met, So those kind of
(22:18):
conversations he takes very seriously, you know, So you get
trapped sometimes by someone that's baiting you just a little bit,
and you can't live there. I think that's not a
place he wants to be, and there's certainly not things
that he wants to say. Um, why do people continue
to take debait on social media? At what point do
you realize the people you're talking to, they're trying to
get your reaction, their losers. This is you're giving them
(22:40):
what they want. Why even what are we doing here,
especially someone in his position where when you're in a
contract negotiation, and in my opinion, he's worth twinter billion,
you know, whatever number you know you want to put
on it, that's what he's worth. He's a winner. He's different,
like very similar. I mean, obviously there's been in comparisons
to Michael Vick, but um, you know, when you look
(23:02):
at those two, like that's unlike anything the NFL has
ever seen, and his his record and what he Alway's impacted.
His team in Baltimore speaks for itself. But you know
they're looking for any reason not to pay you, right
like this deal hasn't gotten done for I don't know
what reason, you know, And maybe it's because he doesn't
have an agent. I don't know. Maybe it's because they're
(23:22):
you know, Steve Bashotti and the Ravens haven't offered him.
What he feels like is, you know, he's he's due
for or worthy of, whatever the case may be. This
is an example of one of those things that goes
to the side of ownership and and giving them justification
or reasons as to why we shouldn't pay you that
right like they're trying to figure out what you're running quarterback.
(23:44):
He could injured, so maybe the guarantees aren't as much
as you think they should be. Or you know, you're immature,
sometimes an emotional and you tend to lash out on
social media, and as the face of our franchise, we
can't have that. So maybe we're a little bit concerned
and we have to put a clause in here in
this new negotiations like these are all the little behind
the scenes conversations they have, and I just I don't understand.
(24:06):
As much as social media can be used for good,
it's oftentimes not and it's assessed pool and it's it's
really no different than all those people who when they're
yelling down at you from the stands in a loss
or if you play that, it's just continuing that. Like
it's like bringing that entire arena of hatred or whatever
(24:28):
the talk you want to talk about, you know, with
you on your phone. And maybe nowadays, especially for younger generations,
it's it's tough to block out because you've lived with it,
or maybe it provides motivation, but I've just I've never
seen anyone truly benefit off of social media the long run.
Eventually it comes back to bite you. I think you
just have to keep things in the proper perspective. Those
(24:53):
people who are adding you are fans of you, like
they may hate your guts, and in some weird, like
messed up way, they want you to hurt yourself, They
want you to kill yourself, they want you to do
all of these crazy things because of how much they're
(25:16):
a fan of you. And it might sound crazy, but
I feel like Twitter is and you you use cessipool,
it is a sessipool of of negativity. It certainly is,
but they're also they are those you know, there are
people there, There are people on at at the end
(25:36):
of those those messages that are are putting those messages
out there. And and so when I make time on
Twitter or on social media for people who have things
to say, I enjoy the exchange on my terms because
my whole thing is I think, what what guys have
to understand, Like in those moments that that Lamar Jackson had,
(26:01):
people are going to to try to get that reaction
out of you because it validates their worth. And and
you can go into social media and garner that validation
of worth because of how accessible people are. You know,
when we were growing up, you would have to hope
to see them at the mall or you know after
(26:23):
the game. Was if you went to the game, like,
is there a possibility that you can see them? Like,
athletes and celebrities were very obscure and and very difficult
to access before social media. And I think that this
this level of this level of um exposure and accessibility
(26:45):
has created it's not only messed it up for for
kind of athletes in a way, but it's also messed
up for people in general, like how do you find
a boyfriend? How do you find a girlfriend? Like what
do you know? Is what what's real? What isn't real?
Like it's social media has created this alternate universe of reality,
and you can create your own reality in social media.
(27:08):
And I would always urge, I would always urge you
have to understand when you enter that alternate reality, anything goes.
So for me, while I'll acknowledge people that that are
on social media at times, I had not too long
ago when we lost when we lost our game uh
(27:29):
two in in the first round of the playoffs, one
of the local media people was like coming at me
because I had something to say about a the way
the calls were going when we were pulling pulling back
into the game, like we were about to overtake the team.
Next thing, you know, a whole bunch of calls derail
(27:49):
the comeback the game. I said, I said, this was
disgusting what what they did to these kids. Let the
kids decided on the field. He took it upon himself
to engage me in a way where he made it personal.
And and so for me, when I have those type
of exchanges, I do it just for for uh sparring
(28:12):
purposes only like I get nothing. I get nothing else
out of it other than I enjoyed the moment of
baiting them into saying what I want them to say,
how they want to say it, and then I say
something and I dropped the mic on him, and then
I move on from it, like you're not You're you're
following isn't going to shame me. Your reputation or whatever
(28:35):
it is you think you got going on in that
space is not going to change what my circumstances are
unless I allow for it to. So by saying eat
a blip on on what it is that that you're saying,
you have now allowed someone so small and minute and
(28:56):
the realm of your success and have biness and accomplishments
dictate what could possibly be for you in the future.
That's that's a that's a no no, no, no matter
if you think it's fair or unfair or we're judged differently,
because it's a no no. So, if you're going to
(29:17):
be in social media, I always say, you have to
be able to understand that you're going into this alternate universe.
And if you're going into that alternate universe, then you
have to control you have to control your thoughts and
you have to control your emotions. You know how many
tweets I've deleted, like if for everyone? For every time
(29:39):
I'll go into a a uh jousting or a a
fun little little rep of of messing with somebody on
Twitter when I make time, I've probably deleted a hundred
tweets connected to me doing one tweet a hundred tweets
And you have to understand that, like, oh, that would
(30:00):
have been funny, and that would have been great, and
that would have been a dope comeback. You laugh at
it for yourself and didn't delete it, deleted because sometimes
winning isn't winning. Sometimes winning is losing. You felt yourself,
you made yourself feel good to tell him what you
told or tell that person what you told them. In
the moment, it made you feel good, like you justified
(30:20):
by the response that you gave. But in the end,
you lost. And that's what people have to understand about
things like social media. And that's why old school coaches,
when that stuff was coming around, they're like, do not
get on it. You're not allowed to use it. There
was a moment in time where you aren't even allowed
if you're on the team, you aren't even allowed to
use social media. And that's because too many people are
(30:41):
underdeveloped enough to understand what the rules of engagement are
for you. If you're a person of status, a person
of moral values, if if you're a person of character,
you got you have to approach social media from a
very very responsible, responsible perspective, and sometimes that's pretty hard
to do. Well. They're just losers, period, losers. It's it's
(31:05):
a waste of time. People are gonna come at you,
Lamar Jackson. Anybody's a celebrity, they're gonna come at you.
Just you know who cares you. Let it, Let it
walk away, and let him do what they do. And
then you just move on and go make two hundremillion
dollars in your next contract. See that's a win. That's
a win for Lamar. By the way, that dude lived
in a basement at his parents house. I'm jousting with
(31:26):
a dude. I'm jousting with a dude that still lives
at home. He's a grown ass man with a following
of people. So what does that mean about you? And
what does that mean about the people that are following you?
You're not even You're not even advanced enough to have
your own crib. Damn. People that live with figure right
can't even function, can't even function because you're just you're
(31:48):
too much of that person. This is the worst. You're
the absolute worst. The funny thing is is that he self,
he self did that, like and for he was doing
it to help out, for a good reason. For he's
going to throw it on everyone else. Why is it
funny he happened to be my professional equal, you know
what I mean? Like not not talking about who cares
(32:11):
is like you don't have to be there, but you're
voluntarily there. Ye, here you go making it about you again.

(34:11):
All right, leave the lap? How do we do? Last night?
I had to rewatch the tape a couple of times,
you guys, just to make sure everything was correct. Today,
here we go, Here we go. We started off with
where is Jim Ursay shown first at the game? Rewatched
the game. We asked if he would be in a suite,
on the sideline or at a bar. He must have
(34:32):
been at a bar because I didn't see or on
the sideline. Yeah, I looked for it. Yeah, we double checks.
So nobody got that right, you guys, I know, uh,
I figured to be. We were split on that. But
was coming Do you think he knew after last week's
lost close lost? That he was like, all right, this,
this isn't looking good. What owner doesn't go to their
(34:54):
own game? That's he might have showed up later than
the cameras. Maybe he has singing engagement and maybe his
band was planned. I mean, you can't neglect that tree. Yeah,
that'll make sure you get over to that tree. Like
during the holidays, he leads on a fake Christmas tree
when they're inside doing it's still out in the wild.
(35:16):
He leans on that wild Christmas tree before it has
the lights on, before it's been picked up. By the way,
if you guys see how expensive Christmas trees are nowadays,
it's a rip off. Good Christ's scrolling in your backyard
from now. Yeah, you already had the ornaments on it.
You just add to them. Well you know what, Jonas,
(35:37):
then don't complain a right, I gotta fake one, but
I'm gonna go pick up a real one because I'm
not having it. You're gonna have to, you know, we
were debating that. No, we're not going to be that
that person who has to. But relax, bro. Yeah we
have three. Yeah, we got one for the entry of
the home. We have one for the family room, and
(36:00):
and then we have another one that's just kind of
like you know there for decorations. I mean again relatable,
that's festive. Ye, good for you. Yeah, it is the
house is very festive. The only problem is is that
that's a lot to clean up. That's a lot to
you cleaning it up. Well, No, because I told you earlier,
(36:22):
I'm not stressed out because I have people to do
those things that other people would have to do. So
but I do feel like there is more for them
to have to do. But go ahead, first rushing touchdown
of the game, would it be Jonathan Taylor, Gnashi Harris
or other? The pros took Jonathan Taylor, Jonas took the other.
It was, in fact Naji Harris with the fur touchdown.
(36:44):
Of color of Kenny Pickett's gloves would they be black, white,
yellow or none? LaVar I went bold with the nun
You guys went yellow. In fact, it was all white.
But shouldn't Brady and I get a point for that?
Because why should we be punished for Kenny Pickett's bad style?
I mean, he's got a white jersey. The yellow gloves
would contrast? Well, I know why why was I didn't
(37:08):
even have a thread of yellow? And that threats? Yeah.
But would Matt Ryan have a touchdown first? An interception first?
Would he run for positive yards or take a sack?
You guys all went with Sack, you were close. It
was an interception, alright, So nobody got that one. And
(37:28):
finally does ESPN show Jeff Saturday working up before the game.
I went back, I rewatched the tape. He was not
working out, he was not working out, and that goes
to LaVar. So LaVar closes the gap you like in
the game. LaVar, you one this week? How much closer
am I three? I'm three away? Now you are three away?
You are four away from Brady? Did Brady didn't get
(37:48):
anything correct this week? You guys did not get this game.
Game member. I can't wait till we go to Yeah Yeah.

Indianapolis Colts and their struggles on offense and clock management
(01:23):
to start the show. When it came to Monday Night football,
what about Kenny p How about Kenny Pickett? Uh, that
was probably the best game of his young NFL career
in prime time. I don't know, Brady, I saw some
things there. If you're a Steeler fan, you're looking at
that going okay, like this is starting to see some
growth there from the rookie at a at A Pittsburgh,
their hometown boy does good big time on the road.
(01:46):
That's its helf defense you went up against in the Colts,
and I thought he had a pretty solid first half,
very efficient. You start to see the chemistry developed between
him and George Pickens, those two, uh, you know, coming together,
are coming together in a rookie class. And given the
fact that you kind of forgetting Rabisky started the season,
you know, you wonder how much further along Kenny pick
(02:07):
it would have been had they just made him a starter.
You know, and gave them all the reps this off season.
It's it's one of the reasons why I feel like
if you just go with the first round quarterback, just
play the guy, you know you're you're you're only delaying
the inevitable. And I think in the case, uh, you know,
regardless of who you're talking about, you want to play
the guy and get him in there, unless unless you
(02:27):
know you've got a quarterback he's playing at a pro
Bowl level, right And that's where like you look at
the Chiefs and what they did with Alex Smith and
Patrick Mahomes, like that was a luxury for them, right
Like they went and got a talented guy who could
sit and watch for the first fifteen games of that
season before I don't think he played until week's seventeen,
last game of the year. Um, you know, that's a
(02:49):
luxury to have. Most teams, if you're drafting you know high,
or if you're taking a first round quarterback like that,
you know you need to play them and so get
him in there, get him some reps, and then allow
him to build, like we saw Kenny Pickett going in
there and getting a nice win in primetime. Come out,
LaVar your Stillers. They got a quarterback. I mean, is
(03:09):
that what we want to call it? I mean, listen,
he made some good throws. Pickens has been I mean
when he doesn't drop the ball, which hasn't been, Like
I guess a crazy, crazy scenario playing out this year
with dropped balls. You got Friar Muth. You know who's they.
They referenced him as his safety blanket yesterday. I mean,
(03:29):
they have some good pieces in place. Uh, you got
a running game. I mean they got three running backs
and McFarlane, Snell and uh and naj. But they still
gotta build up their offensive line and they have to
have more output from their their offense. I mean, they
need to get a new offensive cording. There you go, there, well,
(03:51):
there you go. I mean I was, I was, I
was slowly walking down, walking him down the plank. But
I mean, if you don't, if you don't change some
of the things in the approach, then I guess the
point I was getting at is, yeah, you may have
your franchise guy, but it may not play out that
he turned into your franchise guy. If that made any sense,
(04:13):
you may actually waste the window of opportunity because in
the developmental stages of of his young career. You're you're
retarding his growth by by not by not developing him
and teaching him the tools that he would need to
be that that developed mature leader for for the team
(04:37):
moving forward. It does feel like Pickett was making some
plays at the past couple of years would have probably
been sacks because Roethlisberger had no ability to get out
of trouble and so he is extending plays with his feet.
And it looked like they were actually committed to the run.
That's always been an issue. They've been one of the
worst rushing attacks for the past like four or five years, seemingly,
so just it does feel like they've got a little
(04:59):
something going there. I mean, I'm not here to call
from Matt Canada's job. I felt like that was a
little bit cruel, a little bit, a little bit uh,
a little bit awkward. You know, I'm always saying what
Steelers fans are thinking. You know, it's it's it's literally
been the entire season. There's a lack of creativity and
just overall situational. You know, you think he's out after
the season has to be that's pretty quick, you know,
(05:24):
the Steelers, they're so loyal to their coaching staff and
and look, it's not like an indictment on him personally,
it's just the fact that he has not been good
as their play caller. And Ben Roethlisberger has said as much.
I think the fan base feels this way. He's been
the one common denominat. It doesn't matter if it's Roethlisberger
Forbisky Picket. It feels like it's always an uphill battle
with them, and I just few and far between. And
(05:48):
I think in this league, in the NFL, if you
can't excale, excel schematically, you get exposed. And I think
they've they've really struggled, and that's that's gonna be a
tough conversation at the end of the season. So there
is I mean, the Pittsburgh Steels they got a quarterback,
but they're gonna be in search of potentially a new coordinator.
Pickens looks like the Goods. That's also part of the
reason why they traded Claypool, right. I mean, you saw
(06:10):
what you had in him, and you figure, if somebody's
gonna give you back a second round pick that he
used on and why not make the move. You know.
The sad thing about that is, Claypool is a perennial
All Pro top receiver in the league in a different scheme.
My opinion, I think he's he's top guy. And I'm
not saying top guy isn't like number one. I'm saying
(06:32):
he's in the conversation with top guys. If their offenses,
if their offense is differently but handled differently because of
the amount of talent they have in Pittsburgh, and and
then the idea of being able to establish a run,
I would I would see him having way more production
(06:55):
than what took place. So to say they got rid
of him because they knew what he was, I would
say that that would be the accuracy would be more so,
we see what we're not capable of doing or what
we're trying to do. And for one reason or another,
they felt it necessary to move on from him, and
(07:15):
that might have been to try to find value to
rebuild this team as they move forward and get that
value that way. Well, they just gave Deonte Johnson some
money in the offseason, and it you could see, especially
we talked about in the preseason, like Pickens was making
plays in the preseason and it was like, oh God,
they've done it again. They found another wide receiver, and
it just felt like they're like it never really clicked
(07:39):
with Claypool and Pittsburgh, Like, you know, Mike Tomlin, you know,
made some comments publicly about you know, in Claypool might
have rubbed some people the wrong way there. And then
if the Bears are gonna call you up and say
we'll give you back that second round or you spend
on him, why wouldn't you make the deal? I mean,
if you feel like you've got enough pieces there and
you and you trust and George Pickens, why not make
(07:59):
the deal. And so, you know, the Steelers going to
the draft right now, they're sitting with a they're sitting
at twelve. We'll see how, you know, the season progresses,
but they're gonna end up with another top pick. And
you would imagine what old line at that point is this?
Is this a decent old line draft? Are there guys
they're like there have been been prevous years or is
this gonna be oddly enough? One of the top prospects,
(08:21):
uh Fashana is that he pronounced his name of a
Penn State is coming back, coming back, Yeah, which I
was gonna say, like he had been a top fifty pick.
I don't I don't know who's given them that advice. Um,
you know, I just he to me is on top prospects.
We are he's a school kid. That's great, But I mean, dang, dude,
(08:44):
like he's turning down in my opinion from from what
I've seen and then what I've heard is like he's
a secret that no one wants to get out and
it will be in the top half of the first round.
Maybe maybe I'm wrong in what I've seen and people
I've talked to, but there's a lot of people who
are really really high on this young kid. He's only
went like nine team. Yeah, no, you're not wrong, and
that's and that's like that's the thing too, is there's
(09:05):
value in that in like any organization that drafts him,
because there will draft him high. They know that he's
already really athletic, plays at a high level, has a
lot of great tools. But he's only going to get
better and they could have him for a decade and
the dude would be thirty by the end of it.
Like it's just it's kind of crazy to think about that,
(09:26):
but um, yeah, I guess he just wants to stand school.
Come on, I mean academics first. Yeah, Like, let's be
clear here, I mean he's an academist. Him and his family,
they're academic first family. I mean he's you know, obviously
you know the name, so you can draw your conclusion
as the way it's twenty three millim reads. Um, what
would it? What would I say African? Like like like
(09:49):
Berto gets Mexican. See, I'm not I have to say
black because you know, well I don't. I'm not from Africa.
Same here, you know. I love how we could love
to say American free advertising. Right, I'm not sure it's
the one they won, but yeah, I will say this though,
I do be making this show racial racist sometime racial
(10:11):
sometimes that's just interesting. Um, you know, he they're just
he's probably not allowed to leave until he gets his
his get his degree. He's probably not allowed them. I
will say something about that, like for anybody who left early,
Like you know, it's harder to go back and get it, right.
I haven't gone back, yes, and I've had I've had
the offers of getting it to go back free. I've
(10:34):
had World Campus. I remember I started the process of
it to go back and get it double major. So
it was like I put all my credits together and
I was like, right there, and I went online to
start doing it, and then I looked at what the
time commitment was. Yeah, I can't wait about say I
(10:57):
wouldn't like you instead of instead yeah, instead of accepting
the challenge, I fell asleep. Like I started reading. I
was like, man, this made me feel and then I
woke up. I was like, this made me feel something
that I felt back in the day. Like that's that
stress hits you, you fall asleep. Man, I'm almost forty,
and like I remember taking quizzes and tests and stressed
(11:20):
out about it. I'm like, what what? Why am I
so stressed out about this? Like it's for like my
m b A, Like I'm good. It's like if you
don't get it right, but then now if you don't
get it right, it's like kind of like who cares?
Like this isn't changing my life, No one will ever
know it matters. It matters to me, that's until but
(11:41):
it has to. That's the only way I've caught Brady
as he's getting ready for one of his exams or quizzes. Yeah,
just a miserable human being. That's why we'd be having
our moments on the show. I'll be trying to figure out,
like what did I do to Brady an exam coming?
You got an exam? Yeah, that's got it. That's what
I'm saying. See, and you probably if I looked out
(12:02):
a picture you before you started your schooling, I can
guarantee you look at disclosure. All right. I had a
group because some of it's not always examples like group work,
and I'll just I'll say it. I had students who
were all over, like I'm not saying all over the country,
like over the world. So we were trying to do
a group project dealing with different time zones, You're dealing
(12:25):
with different cultures of people, and so in doing that,
like not only sometimes is there a language barrier, but
there's also like a difference in culture when you're you know,
the way people talk to each other and the way
people like handle work or when they can do work,
and so it's just it was interesting experience to then
(12:46):
try to get everyone on the same page for what
accumulated to be like the biggest grade of this group project.
And again, depending on the work hours, like obviously our
work hours are kind of early, but you know, that
we've got some free time. Other people like our in
bed if they're over you know, you know, if they're
like in a different, completely different country across the world.
(13:07):
So that became one of the biggest stresses, and you
start to realize, man, like people like Jeff Bezos, people
who have got these like big, big, huge companies where
they're global it's it's seven three sixty five, like it's NonStop,
Like I have the utmost respect for how they go
about managing that and running that because you could always
get someone with something for you at any moment, any
(13:28):
second of the day because of the different time zones
and the different issues that you would deal with that
we don't think about here, but we think about you know,
you think about somewhere else when you look at the
way their culture is so and then you get irritated.
You get irritated because you don't get irritated. You get
frustrated because you're like, man, this could be so much simpler,
(13:51):
but it's it leads to the irritation, Like every look,
you know, what I've I've realized in my older age
is that the goodness bank that you have, the grace
bank that you have, is a real thing if somebody,
if you're using that grace and that that you know,
I guess patients on one thing, you're not gonna have
(14:12):
enough for other things. And so it's like you start
like the littlest things will irritate you. The littlest things
like well, we'll make you feel a certain type of way,
like sitting next to Jonas like if my bank isn't
built up, I will flip out. You just stop your
opinion made opinion so you could do a blown dart. Yes,
(14:36):
I will develop too much. One girl yell at us
all the time, and then I was like, oh, that's
just how she communicates, Like she just yells all the time.
Like that's not like that's that's just part of how
she is. And like it took me like three different
meetings after her yelling at everyone for a while because
I was gonna, like I kinda slid her a note.
I was like, hey, you know, well it wasn't that.
(14:56):
I was just like, maybe we could just be a
little more calm, but but she was like very militant
and like yelling at people, and I was just like, man,
And then I was like, oh, that's just kind of
how her culture is everything else. There was another girl
who was like a robot and like you just like
if you didn't speak like her language. Um not not
even like the actual like language, but I'm saying if
you didn't speak like the business language with her, it
(15:18):
did not compute. She was just like I don't even
know what to do with that, like no jokes, nothing,
straight business. And I was just like, okay, Like it's
just it was a really interesting experience. But what do
you think that like many of those people you were
in class with, like doing group study with, you think
they've ever been like hanging out or at a gym
onu of treadmill and they're watching the TV. All of
a sudden they see you on Big newon Kickoff and
(15:38):
they go, oh man, like they had no idea they
were part of a celebrity's life for a short time.
I had a groupmate actually texts me this weekend he
was watching the game. He's in the States. There's the
two I'm referring to. No, they don't watch American film.
That probably doesn't even interest them, not at all, Like
(15:59):
they don't don't know what they watch sports. To be
quite honest, for them, my daughter told me the other day.
You do know you're not important to everyone? I said,
that is an amazing way of keeping your daddy grounded
response or no, no. I appreciated her her candidness and
(16:20):
and you know her, you know her approach to the conversation.
Like I had something to say and I said it
to her, her mom and she seven, by the way,
so and her response was that you do know that
you're not important to everyone. Kids say the darnest things. Man,
(16:41):
my daughter, I was like, I love you, give her
hugging kiss, and she just, yeah, you come and give
us a hugging kiss. And then then what it's like,
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta go to my job, right,
I've gotta fly out. I'm sorry, Like that's part of
daddy's job. It's like I can't explain to a six
year old, Yeah, I I've found my place when she
(17:02):
did it, because she put me in it, I certainly
found my place. And you know what, My conclusion was
very quick and it was concise. You're right, your kids
speaking English, it must be nice. It is two pros
and a cup of joe here on farm. I mean
it's berts here today. Yes, talking a little bank. You know,
(17:26):

hat off and pulled his hoodie. A real baby. He
needs fluids. Are you back? Are you're back on the bandwagon?
Not not yet. He's still recovering from the you know,
the celebration of them winning though. Yeah, he's a little
under the weather. The weather Moco Mornings. Yeah, he's all
(17:51):

LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn Jonas knocks with here. You can
hang out with us as always on the I Heart
Radio apps. So coming up in about twenty minutes from now,
we're gonna have the results of our prop at monster
(18:57):
from last night. I feel like, uh, somebody's about to
get screwed over. I don't know love that. I know,
I was awful. I mean I missed on the gloves.
I didn't think he would wear gloves, but he does
always wear gloves. I was just trying to make a
bold prediction that he would. He literally has always worked that.
(19:20):
I just wanted to do it. And what if I
was right? It was indoors too, Yeah, it was indoors.
That's why I said it. I mean that would have
been a possibility. I mean little hands pick it. Yeah,
all right, that's working for him. He got him stretched out. Yeah,
how do you get your hands stretched? You got surgeries
for that, just like a massage and all that. They
do have surgeries for surgery. Would to get extensions in
(19:44):
your hands? Yeah, make them longer? How I mean, you
gotta pay for that. Yeah, they can make people taller.
We I talked about that, Yeah you did. Yeah. What
do they do? They add like just something in your back,
like an extra like literally like add on length to
your femur or something. Unless seems painful, that's a lot
(20:05):
of work for an extra couple inches. It's time to
stop treating your groins like junk. Introducing the Gillette Intimate
Pubic hair Trimmer, a gentle and easy shade from America's
number one trusted men's grooming brand. Show your pubic regions
some respect with Gillette Intimate, the best a man could get.
(20:31):
You don't have to worry about that one. That's probably
a little extra. Two right, Okay, you don't want to
be disrespectful. You want to reduce the length? Yeah, clean
up down that. Yeah, otherwise it's disrespectful Number two earlier
(20:52):
spring cleaning, you know. Uh So, apparently Lamar Jackson and
Lamar Jackson was really pissy about loss over the weekend
the Jacksonville Jaguars, so he went at it with a
couple of people on social media. Uh he told one
guy to eat a bleep what yeah? And um, and
(21:13):
then of course that was spun into being uh, you know,
was he like a homophobic reference or something like that,
And I think anybody you know Lamar Jackson sort of,
you know, clap back on that and said, well, you know, you're,
you know, stop disrespecting my name, and you know you're
you're you're taking it out of context and all this
(21:36):
just sort of he had a bad run on social media.
He deleted the tweets, and so his coach John Harbaugh
spoke yesterday with the media about the back and forth
with Lamar Jackson and the people on Twitter, and here's
what John Harbor had to say. It just beg guys
not to get into the Twitter world right after the game,
especially after a loss. It's never gonna be positive. It's
not gonna be a nice place. I think that's kind
(21:57):
of reflected in the Mars response because what he said
it was just so out of character for him. That's
not the way he speaks, it's not the way he talks,
is not the words he ever uses. I've never heard
him say things like that before. Mark Jackson. You know
you've been around him, He's got one of the biggest
hearts of anybody. I know. You all have seen him
the way he treats people, the way he treats kids,
way he treats the media, And he's also one of
the biggest competitors I've ever met, So those kind of
(22:18):
conversations he takes very seriously, you know, So you get
trapped sometimes by someone that's baiting you just a little bit,
and you can't live there. I think that's not a
place he wants to be, and there's certainly not things
that he wants to say. Um, why do people continue
to take debait on social media? At what point do
you realize the people you're talking to, they're trying to
get your reaction, their losers. This is you're giving them
(22:40):
what they want. Why even what are we doing here,
especially someone in his position where when you're in a
contract negotiation, and in my opinion, he's worth twinter billion,
you know, whatever number you know you want to put
on it, that's what he's worth. He's a winner. He's different,
like very similar. I mean, obviously there's been in comparisons
to Michael Vick, but um, you know, when you look
(23:02):
at those two, like that's unlike anything the NFL has
ever seen, and his his record and what he Alway's impacted.
His team in Baltimore speaks for itself. But you know
they're looking for any reason not to pay you, right
like this deal hasn't gotten done for I don't know
what reason, you know, And maybe it's because he doesn't
have an agent. I don't know. Maybe it's because they're
(23:22):
you know, Steve Bashotti and the Ravens haven't offered him.
What he feels like is, you know, he's he's due
for or worthy of, whatever the case may be. This
is an example of one of those things that goes
to the side of ownership and and giving them justification
or reasons as to why we shouldn't pay you that
right like they're trying to figure out what you're running quarterback.
(23:44):
He could injured, so maybe the guarantees aren't as much
as you think they should be. Or you know, you're immature,
sometimes an emotional and you tend to lash out on
social media, and as the face of our franchise, we
can't have that. So maybe we're a little bit concerned
and we have to put a clause in here in
this new negotiations like these are all the little behind
the scenes conversations they have, and I just I don't understand.
(24:06):
As much as social media can be used for good,
it's oftentimes not and it's assessed pool and it's it's
really no different than all those people who when they're
yelling down at you from the stands in a loss
or if you play that, it's just continuing that. Like
it's like bringing that entire arena of hatred or whatever
(24:28):
the talk you want to talk about, you know, with
you on your phone. And maybe nowadays, especially for younger generations,
it's it's tough to block out because you've lived with it,
or maybe it provides motivation, but I've just I've never
seen anyone truly benefit off of social media the long run.
Eventually it comes back to bite you. I think you
just have to keep things in the proper perspective. Those
(24:53):
people who are adding you are fans of you, like
they may hate your guts, and in some weird, like
messed up way, they want you to hurt yourself, They
want you to kill yourself, they want you to do
all of these crazy things because of how much they're
(25:16):
a fan of you. And it might sound crazy, but
I feel like Twitter is and you you use cessipool,
it is a sessipool of of negativity. It certainly is,
but they're also they are those you know, there are
people there, There are people on at at the end
(25:36):
of those those messages that are are putting those messages
out there. And and so when I make time on
Twitter or on social media for people who have things
to say, I enjoy the exchange on my terms because
my whole thing is I think, what what guys have
to understand, Like in those moments that that Lamar Jackson had,
(26:01):
people are going to to try to get that reaction
out of you because it validates their worth. And and
you can go into social media and garner that validation
of worth because of how accessible people are. You know,
when we were growing up, you would have to hope
to see them at the mall or you know after
(26:23):
the game. Was if you went to the game, like,
is there a possibility that you can see them? Like,
athletes and celebrities were very obscure and and very difficult
to access before social media. And I think that this
this level of this level of um exposure and accessibility
(26:45):
has created it's not only messed it up for for
kind of athletes in a way, but it's also messed
up for people in general, like how do you find
a boyfriend? How do you find a girlfriend? Like what
do you know? Is what what's real? What isn't real?
Like it's social media has created this alternate universe of reality,
and you can create your own reality in social media.
(27:08):
And I would always urge, I would always urge you
have to understand when you enter that alternate reality, anything goes.
So for me, while I'll acknowledge people that that are
on social media at times, I had not too long
ago when we lost when we lost our game uh
(27:29):
two in in the first round of the playoffs, one
of the local media people was like coming at me
because I had something to say about a the way
the calls were going when we were pulling pulling back
into the game, like we were about to overtake the team.
Next thing, you know, a whole bunch of calls derail
(27:49):
the comeback the game. I said, I said, this was
disgusting what what they did to these kids. Let the
kids decided on the field. He took it upon himself
to engage me in a way where he made it personal.
And and so for me, when I have those type
of exchanges, I do it just for for uh sparring
(28:12):
purposes only like I get nothing. I get nothing else
out of it other than I enjoyed the moment of
baiting them into saying what I want them to say,
how they want to say it, and then I say
something and I dropped the mic on him, and then
I move on from it, like you're not You're you're
following isn't going to shame me. Your reputation or whatever
(28:35):
it is you think you got going on in that
space is not going to change what my circumstances are
unless I allow for it to. So by saying eat
a blip on on what it is that that you're saying,
you have now allowed someone so small and minute and
(28:56):
the realm of your success and have biness and accomplishments
dictate what could possibly be for you in the future.
That's that's a that's a no no, no, no matter
if you think it's fair or unfair or we're judged differently,
because it's a no no. So, if you're going to
(29:17):
be in social media, I always say, you have to
be able to understand that you're going into this alternate universe.
And if you're going into that alternate universe, then you
have to control you have to control your thoughts and
you have to control your emotions. You know how many
tweets I've deleted, like if for everyone? For every time
(29:39):
I'll go into a a uh jousting or a a
fun little little rep of of messing with somebody on
Twitter when I make time, I've probably deleted a hundred
tweets connected to me doing one tweet a hundred tweets
And you have to understand that, like, oh, that would
(30:00):
have been funny, and that would have been great, and
that would have been a dope comeback. You laugh at
it for yourself and didn't delete it, deleted because sometimes
winning isn't winning. Sometimes winning is losing. You felt yourself,
you made yourself feel good to tell him what you
told or tell that person what you told them. In
the moment, it made you feel good, like you justified
(30:20):
by the response that you gave. But in the end,
you lost. And that's what people have to understand about
things like social media. And that's why old school coaches,
when that stuff was coming around, they're like, do not
get on it. You're not allowed to use it. There
was a moment in time where you aren't even allowed
if you're on the team, you aren't even allowed to
use social media. And that's because too many people are
(30:41):
underdeveloped enough to understand what the rules of engagement are
for you. If you're a person of status, a person
of moral values, if if you're a person of character,
you got you have to approach social media from a
very very responsible, responsible perspective, and sometimes that's pretty hard
to do. Well. They're just losers, period, losers. It's it's
(31:05):
a waste of time. People are gonna come at you,
Lamar Jackson. Anybody's a celebrity, they're gonna come at you.
Just you know who cares you. Let it, Let it
walk away, and let him do what they do. And
then you just move on and go make two hundremillion
dollars in your next contract. See that's a win. That's
a win for Lamar. By the way, that dude lived
in a basement at his parents house. I'm jousting with
(31:26):
a dude. I'm jousting with a dude that still lives
at home. He's a grown ass man with a following
of people. So what does that mean about you? And
what does that mean about the people that are following you?
You're not even You're not even advanced enough to have
your own crib. Damn. People that live with figure right
can't even function, can't even function because you're just you're
(31:48):
too much of that person. This is the worst. You're
the absolute worst. The funny thing is is that he self,
he self did that, like and for he was doing
it to help out, for a good reason. For he's
going to throw it on everyone else. Why is it
funny he happened to be my professional equal, you know
what I mean? Like not not talking about who cares
(32:11):
is like you don't have to be there, but you're
voluntarily there. Ye, here you go making it about you again.

(34:11):
All right, leave the lap? How do we do? Last night?
I had to rewatch the tape a couple of times,
you guys, just to make sure everything was correct. Today,
here we go, Here we go. We started off with
where is Jim Ursay shown first at the game? Rewatched
the game. We asked if he would be in a suite,
on the sideline or at a bar. He must have
(34:32):
been at a bar because I didn't see or on
the sideline. Yeah, I looked for it. Yeah, we double checks.
So nobody got that right, you guys, I know, uh,
I figured to be. We were split on that. But
was coming Do you think he knew after last week's
lost close lost? That he was like, all right, this,
this isn't looking good. What owner doesn't go to their
(34:54):
own game? That's he might have showed up later than
the cameras. Maybe he has singing engagement and maybe his
band was planned. I mean, you can't neglect that tree. Yeah,
that'll make sure you get over to that tree. Like
during the holidays, he leads on a fake Christmas tree
when they're inside doing it's still out in the wild.
(35:16):
He leans on that wild Christmas tree before it has
the lights on, before it's been picked up. By the way,
if you guys see how expensive Christmas trees are nowadays,
it's a rip off. Good Christ's scrolling in your backyard
from now. Yeah, you already had the ornaments on it.
You just add to them. Well you know what, Jonas,
(35:37):
then don't complain a right, I gotta fake one, but
I'm gonna go pick up a real one because I'm
not having it. You're gonna have to, you know, we
were debating that. No, we're not going to be that
that person who has to. But relax, bro. Yeah we
have three. Yeah, we got one for the entry of
the home. We have one for the family room, and
(36:00):
and then we have another one that's just kind of
like you know there for decorations. I mean again relatable,
that's festive. Ye, good for you. Yeah, it is the
house is very festive. The only problem is is that
that's a lot to clean up. That's a lot to
you cleaning it up. Well, No, because I told you earlier,
(36:22):
I'm not stressed out because I have people to do
those things that other people would have to do. So
but I do feel like there is more for them
to have to do. But go ahead, first rushing touchdown
of the game, would it be Jonathan Taylor, Gnashi Harris
or other? The pros took Jonathan Taylor, Jonas took the other.
It was, in fact Naji Harris with the fur touchdown.
(36:44):
Of color of Kenny Pickett's gloves would they be black, white,
yellow or none? LaVar I went bold with the nun
You guys went yellow. In fact, it was all white.
But shouldn't Brady and I get a point for that?
Because why should we be punished for Kenny Pickett's bad style?
I mean, he's got a white jersey. The yellow gloves
would contrast? Well, I know why why was I didn't
(37:08):
even have a thread of yellow? And that threats? Yeah.
But would Matt Ryan have a touchdown first? An interception first?
Would he run for positive yards or take a sack?
You guys all went with Sack, you were close. It
was an interception, alright, So nobody got that one. And
(37:28):
finally does ESPN show Jeff Saturday working up before the game.
I went back, I rewatched the tape. He was not
working out, he was not working out, and that goes
to LaVar. So LaVar closes the gap you like in
the game. LaVar, you one this week? How much closer
am I three? I'm three away? Now you are three away?
You are four away from Brady? Did Brady didn't get
(37:48):
anything correct this week? You guys did not get this game.
Game member. I can't wait till we go to Yeah Yeah.
