Are you really good?

Speaker 5 (02:24):
I am good. I'm a pool junkie, dude.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
I think your mullet says otherwise.

Speaker 7 (02:28):
But okay, I grew up in the pool hall.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
Uh so, uh so, Yeah, we had a good time.
We got some pizzas. We Uh I tapped a keg?

Speaker 3 (02:40):
What?

Speaker 6 (02:40):
What?

Speaker 4 (02:42):
I didn't pick the pizza I would have picked differently,
Uh like three Margarita pizzas, which I thought was weird
and uh.

Speaker 8 (02:50):
Three like that's chicken with tomato.

Speaker 5 (02:55):
Yeah, tomato with a little pepper, with a little pepper.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Did you have more Margarita pizza? More Margarita's.

Speaker 5 (03:01):
I wish I had more Margarita's.

Speaker 7 (03:03):
Uh? Well, you know what I did?

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Uh, I'm sure you did.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
I did have my own little Uh yeah, I have
my own little uh what do you call glass?

Speaker 5 (03:13):
Plastic glass? You gotta go plastic by.

Speaker 7 (03:15):
The pool, you know, that's right. So I had my own.

Speaker 5 (03:17):
Little plastic glass with my own little concoction.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
What was in that concoction?

Speaker 4 (03:23):
What was in that concoction was, uh, grapefruit, grapefruit seltzer.

Speaker 6 (03:29):
That star for me?

Speaker 7 (03:29):
Go ahead?

Speaker 5 (03:30):
Yeah, I know everyone now.

Speaker 6 (03:31):
I love grapefruit.

Speaker 7 (03:32):
Thank you for a man.

Speaker 5 (03:33):
Everybody's like, they're like, hey, do you have anything but grapefruit?
I was like, well I do, but Fresco though, Uh.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
I Fresca is something I do use. But it wasn't Fresco.
It was it was an off brand thing. It was
more like a you know, like a whatever the brand
is that.

Speaker 5 (03:50):
The uh uh uh you.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Go off brand for your liquor as well as for
your mixers.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
Well, yeah, if you're going to you know, Costco Kirkland,
if you're going to Vaughan's, you go signature. If you're
going Roufs, he goes something else.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
Yeah, I'm with LeVar on that. There's nothing wrong with it.
I just I would have figured that one of the
two would be more premium or like a name brand,
as opposed to going you know, I went.

Speaker 5 (04:16):
I went too much premium last over the weekend.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
So I'm back to a signature brand.

Speaker 7 (04:22):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (04:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
See what was her tally at for Wednesday? I know
Tuesday was rather high based on my prediction of it
being fifteen drinks.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
Oh, yesterday was just a little hair of the dog
to make sure everything was okay.

Speaker 5 (04:35):
So it was only like two or three.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
Are we sure about that? How many of those were doubles?

Speaker 5 (04:40):
Well, everything's a double.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
So now you call them me out two or three,
it turns into four six.

Speaker 6 (04:48):
I guess.

Speaker 7 (04:49):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
I mean I would say, like, what do you think
it between four and six? Probably closer to six, seven eight.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
Maybe my email would tell me that it's a NA
not applicable?

Speaker 6 (05:05):
Good Google.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
Can you explain how you got locked out of your
email account?

Speaker 4 (05:09):
I wish I could tell you. I've been working on
it for twelve hours now. Usually I get a notification.
I think I probably got fired yesterday. That is probably
what happened.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
I don't think that's the case.

Speaker 5 (05:22):
And so I've been locked out of my email and
they just let me do this show.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
I mean, your your access worked in the building, didn't it.

Speaker 5 (05:29):
I think they're lett me. I think probably until I
leave today.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
No, if they're fired, they fire you tomorrow. The fire
people on Fridays.

Speaker 5 (05:37):
Yeah that's right.

Speaker 3 (05:39):

Speaker 7 (05:56):

Speaker 3 (05:56):

what Coop is here and Coop is not here, but.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
It's it's all a little fuzzy. The days kind of
blur together for you a little bit dog.

Speaker 4 (06:22):

Speaker 8 (06:55):
Gone, like gone? How gone with the when gone? From

Speaker 5 (07:02):
Gone from the world is a good is a good
way to put it.

Speaker 6 (07:19):
Okay, all right, all right, Lee?

Speaker 3 (07:22):
Oh and did you get did you get anything accomplished

Speaker 4 (07:26):
I got a lot of stuff accomplished. I did a
lot of I did a lot of checking off the boxes.

Speaker 7 (07:30):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (07:31):
Well, I uh scheduled a lot of Why do we
want to talk about this?

Speaker 7 (07:36):
This is awful?

Speaker 3 (07:37):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (07:38):
I scheduled a lot of vendors coming to the to
my complex to out vendors for. I have contractors coming,
I have engineers coming.

Speaker 7 (07:49):
I have.

Speaker 5 (07:51):
Plumber plumbers for the for the Why are we talking
about this?

Speaker 4 (07:55):
Plumbers for the h o A, uh, contractors.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
For I feel like you're just people to call people
to make it look like you're doing your job, but
you're not really sure what you're doing.

Speaker 5 (08:05):
I never know what I'm doing. Fake it till you make.

Speaker 7 (08:07):
It right perfect?

Speaker 3 (08:11):
Oh boy, I'll tell you, buddy, like they're so lucky
to have you as their h A president.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
I am not the president whatever a lot of presidents. Yeah,
I do a lot of jobs that the president should,
but I am not.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
I think your next st should be president at this point.

Speaker 5 (08:26):
So you know what, why not whut my put my
name in?

Speaker 7 (08:31):
Yeah? Yeah, put your.

Speaker 5 (08:32):
Name write it in.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
One guy's putting his name out there is Adams for
the Las Vegas strange issues.

Speaker 6 (08:41):
Oh that was rough.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
He's be kind of outspoken about what he's looking for
from his quarterback there in Las Vegas, which is one
of the I don't know a handful of quarterback competitions
that's going on between Aid and O'Connell and Gardner Minshew
was brought in this offseason. We've got some from DeVonta
Adams talking about what he's looking for out of his quarterback.

Speaker 6 (09:03):
Take a listen here.

Speaker 9 (09:05):
The best you know when it's time to win is
live bullets. So at the end of the day, I
don't have a preference other than the fact that I
want somebody that's confident and ready to go when it's
time to do it. So whoever that is, that's who
I want throwing the ball. I think right now, if
I had to say, I think Aiden has the job,
because you know, obviously he was here before, and that's
the way that it was. He was running with the

(09:26):
ones more and until Gardner comes in and you know,
takes the job away from him.

Speaker 6 (09:30):
Is I think is Aiden's job right now?

Speaker 3 (09:31):
And it's DeVonta Adams speaking on FS one shout out
to them. I mean when you hear those words, obviously,
LeVar you're close with some of the staff there in
Las Vegas. I keep going back to the draft, keep
going back to free agency. This couldn't have been the
situation the Raiders wanted to be in heading into the
season with it being a quarterback battle between Aden to

(09:53):
O'Connor and Gardner Minshew or am I wrong?

Speaker 6 (09:55):
And then that assessment, No, I don't think you're wrong.

Speaker 8 (09:58):
I think they were banking on and being able to
draft a guy and start the development process and moving
forward with a new era of Raiders football. That didn't
happen because of the way the draft, you know, played
out with the drafting of the quarterbacks, and so they're
left to try to figure out is it Aight and

(10:19):
O'Connell or is it Gardner Minshew And listening to you know,
Davante and and how he sounded speaking on it, it's
it's it's interesting because let me ask you this, and
and in sports and and maybe in football in particular,

(10:40):
do you think that every single swinging season, every single week,
every single practice, do you think that it is is
reasonable to think that you have to fight for your
starting job?

Speaker 6 (10:58):
Is that reasonable?

Speaker 3 (11:00):
Okay, there's two ways of answering this. I don't know
that it's reasonable because you're going to have people who
solidify themselves in a spot, in a position, but the
people who do should be looking at their competition as
not ever like on your roster necessarily, but also who
you're playing against. So if you're justin Jefferson, you know

(11:22):
clearly he's established as the number one receiver for the
Minnesota Vikings, but he's looking at himself amongst the rest
of the league and saying, I want to showcase something
better than Jamar Chase, better than Tyreek Hill, better than
Devanta Adams, better than all these other guys out there,
you know, whoever else you want to throw in the
conversation at wide receiver. So in saying that, I don't
think that's realistic to constantly have competition, because you're going

(11:44):
to announce at some point there's a starter and then
that starter needs to have a bit of leeway or
a leash if you will to make mistakes and still
be able to go out there and play you know,
care free.

Speaker 8 (11:58):
Or you know, or you know loose, if you will okay,
then then that would assumed. Then if that's the reasoning,
what we assume that aid and O'Connell, like Devonte said,
is the starting quarterback.

Speaker 6 (12:15):
Or a competing against Gardner Minshew.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
Well that this is a different circumstance, right, Like they
like Gardner Minch is getting paid more so from an
economical perspective, you could say, like to make like they're
he's going to be playing. Although I'm not I'm not
sure this was by design, right. I think they would
have liked to have drafted a guy in the first round.
I think they would have liked to somehow found a
way of bringing someone else in that they maybe feel

(12:40):
better about. Now that's just my speculation from the outside,
but this, this couldn't have been Plan A, that you've
got a quarterback battle between Aidan O'Connell and Gardner Minshew
going into the season. You know, I'd imagine this is
probably Plan B or C. As to what did not
happen over the course of the offseason with the roster
to put them in a position at least that the
quarterback spot.

Speaker 8 (13:01):
I don't know that DeVante Adams feels confident about the
situation he's in. It doesn't sound like in his voice
that it's a there's a confidence about talking about the situation.
That's what I would That's what I would take from

(13:23):
from his his comments. And I don't want to speak
for him. I don't know him. I'm just going off
of just kind of the context and just his his tone.

Speaker 6 (13:38):
There's uncertainty.

Speaker 8 (13:39):
There's obviously uncertainty in that, and he's looking at it like, look,
ain't o'connorway is the one that has taken more to
one reps. But Gardner Minshew needs to show that he
can play before he gets the not to be the starter,
he has to win the job. If that's your star
receiver and he's talking about that, it doesn't I don't

(14:04):
feel like.

Speaker 6 (14:06):
I don't feel like that's the greatest of.

Speaker 8 (14:10):
Conversations to be kind of coming out from your best,
your your top guy, from your players.

Speaker 6 (14:20):
You know, we're in July.

Speaker 8 (14:22):
The football season starts what like less than fifty days right.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
I'll sactually two weeks for training camp.

Speaker 7 (14:29):
But basically, you know, I.

Speaker 8 (14:31):
Just think that you're too close to the season for
your your top guy to be talking this way. I mean,
am I wrong for maybe assuming that that way? I
just feel like you should be talking about being better
in terms of things we want to get accomplished. We
want to beat Kansas City this year, this, that, and

(14:51):
the other. Like to me to have to have the
conversation of not knowing who's going to be throwing you
the ball is that's it? To me, that's a team
that I would be looking at and saying can they win?
And listen, I mean, that's my dog's that's the head coach.

(15:12):
I don't think that he put himself in this situation.
I think it's the situation that this organization has found
themselves in that they do not have a quarterback.

Speaker 6 (15:23):
That is defined as the guy for this team. How
do you have.

Speaker 8 (15:28):
That and still be able to have a fair opportunity
to compete and be successful going into the season unless
something were to happen. You know, you get a rock
purdy that pops up. I don't know how it happened,
but it happened. I mean, maybe that's maybe they're hoping
that they get a performance from one of these guys

(15:48):
where it offsets what seemingly was a miss on getting
a quarterback for this year.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
Yeah, and I think the other thing is insane that
you know, do do you feel like Mark Davis is
willing to allow Antonio Pears to go through a year
of trying to clean up the cap, trying to get
this roster in a better spot to build and eventually
have it ready for that quarterback if O'Connell, regard to
Minshew don't emerge as that guy a year from now.

(16:17):
And that's the tough part.

Speaker 8 (16:19):
Wouldn't you think that if this was an organizational happening, right,
I don't think this is This is not a coaches deal.
This is a the organization didn't get a a I
would say, a bona fide changer and in free agency

(16:40):
and they didn't find They didn't come up on one
in the draft, they didn't draft up. They weren't aggressive
and trying to move up to get a quarterback. They
stayed where they were at. I believe they didn't draft
uh they didn't trade up, did they?

Speaker 7 (16:55):
Uh?

Speaker 6 (16:56):
No?

Speaker 7 (16:56):
But they.

Speaker 6 (16:58):
Right got it? Great, great tight and that's a great addition.
But who's gonna throw him the ball? Yeah, So my
whole thing is right.

Speaker 8 (17:06):
So my whole thing is is, if you know that
your organization, your team does not have a bona fide
franchise quarterback, why would you judge the coach off of
if it's a tight if it's a if it's tight games,
if this team is coming up short. I would hope
that the owner of the team sees the value and

(17:29):
what a coach is doing with less, rather than say, well,
we're going to get rid of them and bring somebody
else in and then what you're going to first thing
that new coach is going to want to do is
the same thing this coach is wanting to do, which
is bringing a quarterback that can be a franchise guy
for your team. They don't have a franchise guy right.

Speaker 6 (17:48):
Now, exactly.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
No, I'm right there with you, and I think that's
that's kind of the predicament or conundrum that Mark Davis
would be in. But we're gonna take a break. On
the other side of this break, We've got Albert Breers,
senior NFL reporter and lead content strategy US at the
Monday morning quarterback joining us. But before that, let's take
a little break. We'll see on the other side.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern three am Pacific

Speaker 3 (18:21):
Polly Foods Go here with Tony Foodsco.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (18:23):
As everybody knows, we're the hosts of the award winning
Polly and Tony Foodsco Show. Yeah, but instead of us
telling you how great we are, here's how Dan Patrick
described us when he came on our show.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated.

Speaker 6 (18:36):
What what are you doing?

Speaker 3 (18:37):
We were interrupting our promo.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yeah, he wasn't talking about you. You took those clips
totally out of context.

Speaker 10 (18:43):
Oh yeah, well, after this promo, I'm gonna take you
out and beat you.

Speaker 5 (18:47):
Let me put this into context.

Speaker 6 (18:49):
Shut up.

Speaker 10 (18:50):
Yeah, anyway, just listen to the Paully and Toni Fousco
Show on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
Yee, it's time for our guy, Albert Breer, who joined
us every week. He's the senior NFL reporter, lead content
strategist at the Monday Morning Quarterbacks. Albert, thanks so much
for taking the time to join us. Where are you
right now currently? Are you still summering somewhere?

Speaker 11 (19:15):
Yeah, same pleas that was last week. But yeah, we've
got a little case of poison ivy in our house,
so we maybe we may got this short day.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
Yeah, you know what, full disclosure, Albert, I've got poison oak.
There was an oak tree that fell and I was
moving it off of this road on a property and
literally a week later, like my dad has helped me
kind of cut it up. But I've got poison oak.
He's got poison ivy. Poison oak. It's not fun to
deal with.

Speaker 12 (19:42):
I'm right there with you, man, cause it's like there's
he's just so helpless, you know what I mean, Like
especially with the like so it's our nine year old
and I got it here like two years ago.

Speaker 11 (19:53):
But my eyes were literally swollen shut, like one with
swollen shut. Then that one started to heal a little
and then the other one shut you know, well you know,
and and like so like you think about it with
a kid, it's like you tell the kids stop scratching.
They're not gonna need to stop.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
Oh, I've got a buddy who I guess I'll just
put it this way. He got it down in the
nether regions. Yeah, I guess it. Yeah, I guess it
had happened after he had talked to his wife and
thought maybe there's a chance for an intimate moment, and
when it didn't happen, all of a sudden the next morning, Uh,

(20:31):
they both realized like he had some poison ivy down there,
and uh, he kind of looked at her and he said, well,
this is the cause and effect.

Speaker 6 (20:37):
So that's a good thing that they figured it out
that way. No, yeah, no, nothing that could have gone
that could have.

Speaker 3 (20:44):
Got nothing happened. That's unfortunately why it got on him
down there.

Speaker 11 (20:48):
So yeah, I got one of my buddy, I got
I got one of my buddies from here and he
put like, ah, I think he puts the sun chunks
up on like the clothesline to dry him out or whatever,
and it pull up the clothesline into where Like everybody
got the point and idea. I'm like, dude, like, I
don't know if that stuff would stay on your clothes,
I just not would not like I would not wear
that that there swim trusts for a little while. So tang, Yeah,

(21:11):
that's that's one place you definitely don't want to get it.

Speaker 6 (21:15):
No doubt about it.

Speaker 3 (21:16):
One place you do want to get it isn't the
bank account. I would love for some sort of spreading
of cash in. They're like Dak Prescott, he's looking for
a new deal. Doesn't sound like they're going to get
anything done before the season, Albert, but sounds like he's
looking for sixty million average annual value.

Speaker 11 (21:33):
Yeah, and I think part of that, that's what the
leverage that he's got right now, you know, is that
you know, he it's going to be impossible for them
to franchise him because the number is too high. In
twenty twenty five, because of the way the contract structure,
the number would be up around eighty million. Obviously, that's
a non starter. And you know, when you wait, this
is the price you pay, you know, it's you know,

(21:54):
maybe before this year they would have had an argument
to pay him less than that, but you know, like
since the end of the season, we've seen you know,
we we we've seen Jared Goff get paid. You know, obviously,
you know, Trevor Lawrence get paid, and and and and
now Toua and Jordan Love and dak are out there
without deals. But you know, in a sort of new

(22:17):
environment where the idea of a quarterback you over fifty
million dollars a year has been completely normalized. You know,
So if you're in a situation where you have leverage
and you say, okay, like, well, like I have enough
money where I don't you know, I don't need to
jump at it right now. I can get to the
point where I'm a free agent after the year, and like,

(22:40):
this is where quarterback contracts are being negotiated. Plus like
there are guys that are you know, i'd say less
accomplished than me in Jordan Love and Tua who could
still get contracts before on the start of the season.
You've got all the power in the world to wait
and see where all that goes, and you know and say, like,
I'm not going to do a deal for something like

(23:03):
at a number that's not really really good for me.

Speaker 8 (23:07):
Is Jerry Jones going to budge on any of the
three that well four really that are being discussed in
that man.

Speaker 11 (23:15):
I'm assuming the fourth year referrence is Mike McCarthy, right,
all right, Yeah, I think I think the most likely
would be would be CD, because I think CD is
going to be most aggressive about pushing the issue. You know,
My guess would be that he doesn't show up for
camp without a new deal, and you know, you get
to that point and you know, now this is going

(23:36):
to last over the course of weeks, and like the
Cowboys aren't exactly all that well fortified at that position,
and you know, obviously I've got a lot of people
in a win that spot, and that's going to give
CD some leverage. So I would say like CD is
probably the most urgent one. You know, Dak maybe not
as much so, even though he's a quarterback, just because

(24:00):
like I think he will show up and he will
be a good soldier.

Speaker 6 (24:03):
You know.

Speaker 11 (24:03):
Michah Parts is not as much because he's got two
years left on his deal, although he could choose to
push it too. I think CD is probably the one
that they're probably going to be forced to take care
of first.

Speaker 3 (24:14):
What outstanding news. I mean, I know Brendan Ayuk's looking for,
you know, his contract exception of some sort is that
gonna end up playing out it. I feel like we're
getting that point for some of these guys where they
want clarity going into training camp. Althwise they I might
not want to think about it at all.

Speaker 11 (24:30):
Yeah, And I think the Ayuke one is I mean,
the Niners have shown they want to keep him, you know,
I mean there's no question if you look at like
what they've offered and how far they've been willing to go,
They're willing to pay him like a number one receiver.
So you know, if anybody question about that, the Niners
have already sort of crossed that bridge and said, no,
we do view him as number one.

Speaker 6 (24:51):
You know.

Speaker 11 (24:51):
Really, I think a lot of like the Auk situation,
comes down to contract or it comes down to some
market conditions. And you know, I you had a couple
of guys signed earlier in the offseason, and DeVante Smith
and I'm and Ross Saint Brown and Jalen Waddell where
you know, I think I used to say I'm a
better player than those guys at plus I've waited an
extra year right than they did. You know, those guys

(25:15):
are all are all a year younger in the league
than Iyuk is. I you spent the afleet a year longer,
you know, and then obviously okay, like now you got
to get closer to thirty million if you're the Niners.
And then justin Jefferson's contract hit that's thirty five. So
how do you how do you kind of square the
difference between twenty eight what all those other guys are

(25:37):
or at or around, and thirty five that that only
further complicates it. And if you're a Yuk or his agent,
you're not going to say, well, yeah, we're going to
do this deal as if it was February. No, you
made me wait till July. So now you got to
deal with the consequence of these other deals getting done.
So I think the Iyuk one to me is like,
I think the Niners have an intention to get the
deal done. I think i U wants to stay there

(25:59):
And this is less Canius and Diebo was a couple
of years ago. I just think because of some of
the other contracts that have come down, the pretty complicated negotiation.

Speaker 6 (26:11):
Abe.

Speaker 8 (26:11):
We were just discussing the Raiders and we heard some
sound from Davante Adams about the quarterback situation.

Speaker 6 (26:20):
There can you give.

Speaker 8 (26:21):
Us some some color if you if you have some
on you know, Q asked a great question.

Speaker 6 (26:27):
I'm curious what you would think.

Speaker 8 (26:29):
Do you think Mark Davis will look at the success
of this team and base it off of how he,
you know, moves with the current coach with Antonio piers.

Speaker 6 (26:43):
Is it is it?

Speaker 8 (26:44):
Is it going to happen regardless of what the quarterback
situation is, or will he give them a little bit
more time knowing uh, the senses that they did not
get the quarterback that they wanted this offseason.

Speaker 11 (26:56):
Well, they're really they're they're in a weird spot, you know,
Bulevar and I you know, it was no secret that
they were they were sniffing around potentially trading up for
for for Jaden Daniels and obviously that doesn't happen. So
now they're sort of in this like you know, quarterback
limbow where they're gonna have, you know, Gardner Minshew and
Ai O'Connell you know, compete for the job. And the

(27:18):
weird thing about where they are is they've got like
a handful of players that would be really valuable to
other teams that are really win now, players that they
may not be able to give the opportunity to win
now with, you know, Like so like it's it's it's
Devanta Adams, is Colton Miller. Max Crosby's younger than those two,
but you know, I think Max Crosby's another one where

(27:41):
if they get off to a rough start, like team's
gonna call, you know, and whether or not you put
DeVante Adams out there like teams are going to call,
and the other side of it is and I don't
think a lot of people have looked like closely at
his contract, but after this year, the numbers just balloon right,
like so effectively if you want to look at his contract,

(28:02):
this is probably going to be the last year of
that contract for him. So you know, like, I think
the Raiders have to almost approach it like he's in
a contract year, and I think anybody else would too.
It's it's an interesting situation. And I do think, like again,
like unless the Raiders come out of the gates really fast,
you're going to hear about Teams Kong, about Kong on

(28:22):
DeVante Adams in September and October. And there's a very obvious,
you know, potential landing spot out there that I think
we all can guess on that would reunite him with
somebody that he played with for a long long time.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
Albert last one before he let you go. The NBA
is finalizing their new TV deal. The numbers look absolutely astronomical.
I keep saying every time the NFL redes their deal.
You know, how can it continue to keep going up?
Is there a bubble at some point? Maybe there's not.
I think we all know. If it's eighteen games in
some articles you read nineteen twenty games, that's the easiest way.

(28:59):
When would the end NFL look at trying to re
up there?

Speaker 6 (29:02):
Do you?

Speaker 3 (29:02):
I believe it goes to what twenty thirty three? But
they can the odors can opt at company nine.

Speaker 11 (29:08):
Yeah, they have an opt out after twenty nine, which
I mean, I think that that like has become a
pretty pivotal date with you know, obviously everything changing in
the way that people are consuming content, They've only become
more powerful, you know what I mean? Like, I mean
the way TV has died in so many different ways.
Only the TV's died in so many ways. You know,

(29:29):
the NFL has survived because live sports are the one
thing that people still you know, treat his appointment viewing
like they'll sit down at a certain time and watch it,
which is gold to the advertisers, and obviously, you know,
the NFL is the king of all the sports, so
they have that, and now they can kind of leverage
that against the streamers, who you know, they're conditioning fans

(29:52):
of paper streaming services. And you know you kind of
like look at all that, like right, like that the
whole setup they have now, and why wouldn't they want
to go in, you know, three years earlier whatever the numbers.
I think it's three years they could opt out, And
that of course has like a cascading effect where it's
it's like okay, like, well, if they're going to renegotiate

(30:13):
to the television deals after twenty twenty nine, well then
you know as part of that that they want to
have an eighteen game schedule that they're going to present
to the television networks and put the bid for with
the streamers. You know, I would think it would be
you know, so you know, I certainly think like that
the NFL's as it always is, you know, and this

(30:35):
is one of those things where I think the owners
of the I think they're responsible for doing this, but
this is like kind of a born on their base thing.
It's football in America. You know the NFL's wealth positioned
to cash in again and raise the bar again in.

Speaker 7 (30:48):
A few years.

Speaker 3 (30:49):
Absolutely incredible. But Albert great stuff is always really appreciate

Put them all in one, get that big, big ass cup,
and just go across all of them two three times.

Speaker 7 (33:29):
Okay, all right, I dig that.

Speaker 3 (33:30):
I think I'm still in on slushies. They're just a
delicious summertime drink. You know, people like lee to a
little little something in there.

Speaker 4 (33:40):
You know what You've inspired me? Should I go with
the Coca Cola slurpy?

Speaker 6 (33:45):
I mean you could put some jacket in it.

Speaker 3 (33:46):
What are you gonna put?

Speaker 7 (33:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (33:47):
No, don't act like I mean, don't act like this
is not gonna be alcohol.

Speaker 5 (33:50):
Well, here's the thing. Here's the thing. They don't. You know,
seven eleven doesn't serve.

Speaker 3 (33:55):
I know they don't. But you walk outside, you have
your flask on your head like you normally do.

Speaker 4 (33:59):
Okay, okay, I'm game planning it right now because there's
a liquor store across the street from the seven to eleven,
so I gotta go there first because I don't want
my slushy to melt.

Speaker 5 (34:09):
It's a hot day out here in la oh nuh,
all right, cool?

Speaker 8 (34:13):
All right, plans plans beats sound really good. I am
in on slushy slur beats. I'm in on that. Yeah,
I dig in on that.

Speaker 5 (34:22):
Guys.

Speaker 4 (34:22):
Uh, it's all right. I know you hate this, Brady.
It's World Population Day. Can you guess what?

Speaker 7 (34:29):
I don't even know?

Speaker 5 (34:29):
But what do you think the world population is?

Speaker 7 (34:31):
Right now?

Speaker 6 (34:32):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (34:32):
God?

Speaker 6 (34:33):
Eighty billion?

Speaker 3 (34:35):
No, it's not that high, is it?

Speaker 7 (34:36):
No?

Speaker 6 (34:37):
But let's say, is it like like four or five?

Speaker 7 (34:40):
No?

Speaker 3 (34:41):
You both know, are we way over?

Speaker 6 (34:43):
We're not in the billions.

Speaker 5 (34:45):
We're in the billions.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
I always remember it being like seven point two seven five.

Speaker 6 (34:50):
I always remembered it being that.

Speaker 7 (34:52):
Well, yeah, what what is it? Cool?

Speaker 4 (34:54):
Because the census, the last census was seven point eight now,
but the the estimation is just over eight billion people
in the world.

Speaker 5 (35:02):
Okay, three births every second and two deaths.

Speaker 3 (35:06):
Don't they don't They keep saying that the birth rates
declining in America and all the stuff, all these of
their countries.

Speaker 5 (35:13):
The certain countries.

Speaker 3 (35:14):
Yes, that is that, okay, but our overall population.

Speaker 4 (35:17):
Is growing, Yes it is, but you're you're again, you're
talking about certain countries where.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
You just said there's four babies born for every two deaths.

Speaker 5 (35:26):
Right every second?

Speaker 6 (35:27):
Correct? There you go every second.

Speaker 3 (35:30):
That's pretty crazy, Yeah, isn't it.

Speaker 8 (35:33):
Somebody's got to go, somebody's got to come on in.

Speaker 6 (35:38):
We're bringing at a two to one ratio.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
I think we're okay. Is that just a social media
scare tactic? Is that what's happening?

Speaker 5 (35:44):
I'm sure it is. Everything is scared.

Speaker 3 (35:46):
It's justification. What for Like somebody's guys like Elon Musk,
who's got like a thousand kids? Does he really he's
got a lot.

Speaker 5 (35:53):
Yeah, more than we know.

Speaker 6 (35:56):
Yeah, there, more.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
Than he knows? What else?

Speaker 5 (36:00):
Hey gets con Have you guys seen this?

Speaker 4 (36:02):
The Mirage casino is closing this month, which I thought
was kind of uh, kind of It's sad.

Speaker 3 (36:06):
I was just there too, and I and I know
what you're gonna say, And I did not know this
before I left, which I would have tried to pop
by and at least played a little bit.

Speaker 4 (36:14):
Yeah, they're trying to give away. They have to get
get rid of at least one point six million dollars
in prizes to pay out for legal reasons. So yeah,
people are flooding the Mirage mostly the the slot games.

Speaker 5 (36:28):
Are you guys enter out.

Speaker 7 (36:29):
Oh in yeah?

Speaker 3 (36:30):
I mean so just do you understand, there's works LeVar,
there's losses that accumulate that build up, and obviously the
slots have to pay out you know, every so often
or whatever. But now they have to hit because they
have to pay out this money before they close. So
I think the last time this happened was it was
it the Riviera when the Riviera casino closed down, they
had something similar to this.

Speaker 6 (36:48):
Yeah, yeah, I'm in on that. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (36:51):
I hope someone wins a big jack putt.

Speaker 6 (36:53):
Yeah, good luck, somebody's going get it.

Speaker 5 (36:56):
Uh Fellas.

Speaker 4 (36:57):
I've been trying to get this in on the U
in her out all week, but it's uh, it's Shark week.
We're coming to the end of Shark Week. Are you guys?

Speaker 7 (37:05):
We got over?

Speaker 5 (37:06):
You're over.

Speaker 8 (37:07):
I know the people who created it though, like that film,
it like the Gurney's, they're they're they're good for film.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
They need to update some of their content.

Speaker 6 (37:14):
It's it's it's like the same everything. I'm kind of
over Shark Week for some reason.

Speaker 3 (37:23):
I just they need to update that stuff, find some
new shark stuff to film.

Speaker 4 (37:27):
I swear that they were like pushing like a bunch
of shark attacks.

Speaker 5 (37:31):
They're like, oh yeah, there was three shark attacks this week.

Speaker 8 (37:33):
I was like, shark attacks, then just see them like
going around. They're actually not even dangerous to me anymore,
you know. I want to see them eat people.

Speaker 3 (37:43):
