Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
We're live ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of
all ages.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Do I have a fantastic show for you? You might
think that we're going to pander. You might think that
we're the kind of people that are gonna tell you
that the Broncos are gonna go seventeen and zero and
win the Super Bowl and be the greatest team ever assembled,
of all time, of all greatness. But not this show.
This show, we're bucking the trend.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
This show we're gonna channel our inner Zach Singers and
tell you everything that's wrong with the Broncos.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
This is a really dark version of altitude adjustment. That's
why breeze here film in the Mofo Switcher.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
I hit the budget, hit the rolates, I hit up,
I hit the stage.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
I leave with money.

Speaker 4 (00:57):
That's a stick up.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
As you might have noticed, Pat and I are joined
by an incredibly special guest who was so sick of
the negativity on her other show that she wanted to
join us. And I don't mean the show that she
does with Patrick Keyoti on the Believe Network. No, that
show is fantastic. In fact, that might be the only
Broncos show that's better than this one. And it's because

(01:21):
it has three masis. Well, guess what now we do too?
I met the other show where a certain somebody over
the Letstock Broncos network thinks that Gino Smith is a
better quarterback than Bo Nicks and basically thinks that he's
Jesus Christ. Bree wanted to get away from that, and
to reward her, I said, we're going to talk about

(01:42):
all the things wrong with the Denver Broncos breathe thanks
for joining us.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
I couldn't pass up an opportunity to be on a
show with the both of you. Pat, you saw that
none he's on the lamb. Mario started the show thankfully,
like we got this going. Also, can I ask what
brand your hoodie is? It's so floral, it's so delicate.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Yes, I'm so glad. I'm so glad that you asked.
This is a genuine denim tears hoodie. It's very uh,
it's very comfortable, very flattering. As you can see, the
sex appeal is at an all time high.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
I'm sorry, I have controls, so I'm just gonna highlight
comments as they come in.

Speaker 5 (02:30):
I'm driving.

Speaker 6 (02:31):
What does it look like, I'm on the run the
caps right now?

Speaker 5 (02:36):
That's what I'm doing.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
It's just coach. It's just coach Pat doing coach Pat things.
I don't understand what the problem is. Geez, we try
to get away from Zach Segers and he follows us
into our show. My goodness, my dad.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
You can't say his name too many times. He's going
to pop up in this stream.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
That's how this wears. Oh is he like is he
like Beetlejuice? Well, in that case, that's my bad. They
do have a similar build though. I want this to
be misconstrued as as negative, okay, because that's not who
we are. That's not what we do. And God knows
that all of Broncos country gets all up in arms

(03:14):
anytime anybody says something remotely negative about bone Nicks. And
that's not what we're going to do. What we're going
to focus on today, Lady and gentleman, are the parts
of this Broncos roster. Because like it's revamped, they've added
a bunch of fantastic pieces. We know this is a
really good team. On paper, some publication or person or
whatever ranked them as the sixth best roster in the NFL.

(03:36):
So I guess we can address that by saying what's
keeping them from the top five? Brie, We'll go ahead
and start with you, what is the biggest weakness on
this Broncos team heading into the twenty twenty five season.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
I feel like I say, this is the perfect opportunity.
This is a show to do it where you're going
to say a couple of off based things, where people are
going to find your accounts and they're going to comment
on everything you post going forwards. I think this is
the prime opportunity to do so. But guys, what I'm
really worried about is on paper, the roster improvements, like

(04:10):
you were speaking of, all of the adaptations they've made
for twenty twenty five, all the positive inclinations. When it
comes to Bonick's heading into his sophomore season, well, gentlemen,
you need a head coach who's not going to try
to fit players and skill sets where they don't need
to go. I think Sean Payton has a lot of pride.
I think he's got a lot of ego, and when

(04:31):
it's good, it's good. But when it's bad, it can
push him to make some choices that are adverse to
what the strengths of the players and the positions are,
so I think one of the biggest things I have
of concern is will Sean Payton concede to what he
has not only on paper, but on the roster, to
use guys where they're going to do the best, not
by predictably what he wants to do, what we've seen

(04:54):
him do in the past. I'm not saying he's a
bad coach. I'm saying there is a prime opportunity to
to take some real uh depth on this roster to
a new level. And I want to know if he's
got what it takes to push everything else aside and
do what's best for this team.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
What do you think, what's the biggest weakness on this team? What? What?
What has you uh kept up at night aside from
your your baby.

Speaker 6 (05:21):
Well, thank you so much, Mario, and can I just
I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
I'm sorry, Coach Pat. We're joined by Coach Pat.

Speaker 5 (05:29):
Coach Pat Pat is busy.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (05:33):
First of all, thank you so much for bringing me
back for another.

Speaker 6 (05:37):
Season of of Altitude Adjustment, you know, and I'm I'm
just honored as ever to be in the presence of
Miss Pretty Mastis. You know, I watched that show believe
in the Broncos on the Believed Network and God, such
a She's just such a bright spot, you know, speaking
of not right spots though, on this Broncos right, I

(06:00):
think the one position that like really keeps me up
at night is h is the linebacker spot. Like I know,
we we signed Drake Greenlawn. That's fantastic, and he's doing
the Ashton Hall you know, running videos and that's great,
but he's coming off with a serious injury and had

(06:21):
another injury scared of this offseason. And then Singleton is
coming off an injury. There's not a lot of proven
debt behind him. I mean, Strenad was fine, Drew Sanders,
who knows what the hell's going on there. I think
that's probably the one, like full position that is really
keeping me up at night. Outside of that, you know,
tight end is a position that can play such a

(06:44):
massive part in in this offensive scheme, you know, and
we've seen it over the years.

Speaker 5 (06:51):
Sean Payton has done amazing jobs.

Speaker 6 (06:53):
With with a lot of like quality tight ends in
the past.

Speaker 5 (06:58):
You might have heard of some of them. Jason Witten is.

Speaker 6 (07:00):
A guy who he worked with before, Jeremy Shockey, Jimmy Graham,
you know, just a couple of names, just you know,
low level guys that they did fine. Uh, but I
just don't see one of those guys on this roster.
And I know, you know, everybody wants to say that
Evan Ingram is gonna be getting a ton of targets
and stuff, but he's on the he's on the wrong

(07:22):
side of thirty two. He dealt with some injuries last year,
and I don't know, I just kind of I feel
like he's gonna be a little bit of.

Speaker 5 (07:31):
A tell in the offense.

Speaker 6 (07:32):
So outside of that, who do you have to rely
on as a as a true difference maker from that spot?

Speaker 5 (07:39):
Really?

Speaker 6 (07:39):
Anybody like we're gonna we're gonna put all our chips
in on Caleb Loner.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
Oh whoa, look let me mey hey, hey, hey, hey,
I'm just saying.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
I'm just saying, aready. It's like his name is at Perry.
That's crazy. Wow.

Speaker 6 (07:56):
I look, I if Sean Payton thinks that caleble and
there's gonna be the second coming up Jimmy Graham. Uh,
you know, maybe we need to check his pocket fit perkys.
But I like, as of right now, I just don't
see anybody in that spot. That is a true playmaker,
like a Jeremy Shockey, like a Jason Witten, like a
Jimmy Graham.

Speaker 5 (08:16):
I just don't see it yet. Could it be there? Maybe,
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (08:19):
We'll see from training camp, but as of right now,
those two tight ended linebacker probably the ones I'm worried
about the most.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Coach Pat d Blocks fourteen fourteen says Adam Troutman is
still here. Respect him.

Speaker 5 (08:33):
Listen, if follow if you follow me on you know, on.

Speaker 6 (08:38):
The Twitter sphere, you'll know that I'm not an Adam
Trutman hater. I think Adam Trumpman is fine and serviceable
for what Sean Payton wants out of these out of
this offense. He's a fine blocker in both pass pro
and in run blocking, but he's not a big thread
out of the catch.

Speaker 5 (08:55):
He can, he can run a couple.

Speaker 6 (08:56):
Of routes here and there, but he's he's just not
the threat that they need and that they that they deserve.

Speaker 5 (09:03):
They need a guy who's really fun after the catch
I brought powers, Huh.

Speaker 6 (09:09):
They need a guy who can still play that in
line role and it's just not on the roster yet.

Speaker 5 (09:16):
God forbid.

Speaker 6 (09:17):
Sean mcday let us have what goddamn player in Terrence Ferguson,
just what Sean? But you know it's fine, we'll survive.
Maybe we'll get one next year in Kenyon.

Speaker 4 (09:29):
Well, I want to just interrupt real quickly, sorry that
I got so exasperated when you were talking about Caleb
Bloher and just the idea he's just another body on
the roster. There's a reason multiple there, Well, there was.
There's a reason multiple teams were interested in where he
was and why the Broncos made the sweep to go
ahead and draft him instead of hoping that he was
a DFA that they were able to go after. Because

(09:50):
a multi sport athlete that has that much of an impact,
I would like to say that it would be an
interesting case if he were able to dispel some of
the those caution flags that you're feeling among the tight
end groups. So no am I am I high and hopeful, No,
but I might be a little bit optimistic when it
comes to that actually being a solution to an emptiness

(10:11):
that the Broncos have felt at that position for a
very long time. So I just want to throw that
out there that yes, Pat coach, Pat specifically, I respect
the hell out of your stance and your opinion. May
it be wrong or right, I'm not quite sure yet.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
And I Reamweaver respect that.

Speaker 6 (10:26):
I respect that you're respectful of my stance because it's
a very good one. And I think that with with
the mystery, that is capable. And remember, this is a
guy who has not been playing the sport of football
for very long. He was a fine basketball player, I guess.
But it's the size, it's the athletic traits. I get

(10:49):
what Sean Payton is seeing. I get what he is doing.
It's just a matter of like, uh, you know, how
how quickly can he come up to speed in the
NFL game, because we all know that the the college
game is way different than the NFL game speed and
can he match that physicality? I think we're gonna find
out here in the next couple of weeks, you know,
whether or not he can actually be a guy, whether

(11:11):
or not he's just a one trick pony all all. Look,
the Broncos are at the fifteen yard line out Trot's
fucking Caleb Blowner again.

Speaker 5 (11:18):
G I wonder what they're gonna do. Uh, you know,
it's like one of one of those types of things.

Speaker 6 (11:23):
I just don't want to see him become that.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
That's fair. Dream Weaver. Dream Weaver wants to know, is
Crawl still the best player on the team? Asking for
a friend? First and foremost, the guy that said that
he's the best player on the team is not friends
with anybody. He has no friends. And another news, Rob
Gronkowski not gonna be on the Broncos is never gonna

(11:48):
be on the Broncos. And so not only does he
not have friends, he doesn't have sources. I had a Oh,
I'm sir, mister fan. TU wants to know is Mile high?
Is it true? Mile Hi? Maria, it's fifty five years old? Yeah,
can you believe it? Follow me on Twitter at the
Tanzy Therapy for my skincare regimen. Thank you so much.

(12:09):
I'm gonna tell you, guys, what's bothering me the most,
and I'm gonna preface it like this. You look back
at last season, a lot of people were making a
lot of disparaging comments about this roster. I think even
we as fans were God, I don't want to say
negative because I think fans in general, you're always going
to expect like more than the team is capable of

(12:32):
unless you're Mario or Pat and you know exactly how
good the team is going to be because we told
everyone that they would win ten games during the preseason
and nobody wanted to believe us. But there you go.
The thing that I want to point out exactly where
this team was a year ago today, I think that
the expectations weren't great. And something that Pat and I

(12:55):
kept pounding the table for saying over and over and
over again was it doesn't matter how many wins or
losses this team has as long as bo Nicks progresses.
And they just happened to win ten games and go
to the playoffs, and that was all great. What gives
me hesitancy heading into this season. Even though the roster
is revamped, it filled a lot of holes and Pat

(13:15):
and I talked a lot about filling holes and that
was a really big part of it.

Speaker 6 (13:18):
Broncos, everybody, Uh, this is a this is a fun
experiment show that we were just.

Speaker 5 (13:24):
Doing where you know, we act like we're in a
different show.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Right, Can you not see me what's happening?

Speaker 5 (13:33):
No, I'm very cut.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
It's a guy riding in his fucking car wants to
make comments about me. The fact problem that I had
with the problem that I had with last season, the
Broncos did not have a like like that blockbuster win,
like that convincing win where you were like, yes, this
team is here, they've arrived. Really, their signature win was

(14:02):
against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which was a solid win
at the time. You know, that was kind of the
game where Bonicks really kind of got going. But you
look at the rest of the season, got swept by
the Chargers, beat the Chiefs, C squad, lost to the Bengals,
lost to the Ravens by a lot. Aside from that
Buccaneers game, they didn't really have like one of those

(14:23):
convincing wins where they beat a high caliber team. By
the time they beat the Falcons, if you've seen quarterback
Kirk Cousins, knew everything was over and that was almost
the nail in the coffin for what could be Kirk
Cousins' career. So here's my issue going into this year.
Even though the roster is revamped, this appears to be
a much more difficult schedule. You get the Bengals early

(14:46):
in the year, you think that's gonna be great, but
they're not always going to be bad to start the season, right.
I think a lot of fans are chalking that up
as a w because it's at home on Monday night
earlier in the season. But that Bengals team is still
really good. You have the Chiefs twy, you have the
Chargers twice, you have the Raiders twice. They're still the Raiders,
but you know they have Gino Smith, who Zach thinks

(15:06):
is a top five quarterback in this league. So maybe
they're gonna be good. What worries me is that this
team could be much better, They could be much improved.
They could still win ten games potentially miss the playoffs.
So even though they're a better team than last year,
especially on paper, it doesn't necessarily mean that the success
is gonna translate season to season. Like, just because they're

(15:28):
better doesn't mean they're automatically gonna win at least ten games.
So between that and then, just like, the overall lack
of depth is really worrying me. And I'll ask you
guys about this, And yes, Mester Fantuv Zach seekers absolutely
thinks Gino Smith is a top five quarterback and is
several tiers ahead of Bo Nicks. But we don't need
to get into that. The depth really concerns me. Like

(15:52):
we've seen, the offensive line is fantastic, but pat a
guy that you and I have talked about a nauseum
on this show is Luke Watton. Every single other position
on that offensive line, they're making really good money. They're
all very good, and he feels like the week spot
and if something happens to any one of those other guys,

(16:14):
like the rest of the line is good enough to
kind of cover up for Wattenberg, especially the fact that
he's right next to Quinn Minors. I think in mask
a lot of his deficiencies as a center. You know,
we saw something similar out of Lloyd Cushion Barry early
in his career. He's protected by his guards. If any
other position goes down on that offensive line, they have

(16:36):
no depth. Like maybe Forsyth comes in and he can
play a little bit of center, but left tackle, right tackle,
left guard, right guard. This this becomes the problem with
never drafting offensive lineman. They haven't drafted a left tackle
since they took Garrett Bowles in what was at twenty seventeen.
To me, that's not a good sustainable way to make

(16:57):
sure that your offensive line stays good because if God forbid,
you lose one of those guys. It's like, yeah, Paulchwsky
looked decent last year, but would you trust him, Like
if there's a big injury, are you trusting him to
like take over the mantle and be able to give
you seven to ten solid games at a tackle position.
That scares me a little bit. So, even though the

(17:18):
offensive line is in a great spot, you lose one
of those guys that's not Luke Wattenberg, and I think
you can be in a lot of trouble because then
it comes down to the run game, which needs to
be better. You're not gonna block for it as well,
and then you're not blocking for bow knicks as well.
And in his second year, there's plenty of film on him.
He's not just gonna be able to pick up where

(17:39):
he left off. That's what's really concerning me. Brie, Am
I crazy to be reaching this? And Frank Crumb suck.
Frank Crumb needs to do literally anything for me to
consider him even being a part of this team. Okay,
aside from looking like the kid from Bat Santa all

(18:00):
grown up, I need or that might be someone different.
I don't even know what the guy looks like. Free
talk me down here a little bit.

Speaker 4 (18:07):
I can't because Mario I brought it up in Let's Talk.
Bronco was recently Zach Seegers, and it's a big talking
point for me all of this offseason because although the
center is like the big question mark when it comes
to the offensive line, if anybody goes down, you don't
have the journeyman who's been able to fill in. You
lost Quinn Bailey in training camp last year. It doesn't
look like that's going to be a serviceable option moving forward.

(18:29):
We don't know yet how the Bailey that's.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
The bad Sayanta Kid, Quinn Bailey looks the same. I
think they're the same person. Continue, you can't.

Speaker 4 (18:40):
You can't say that all offensive lineman look the same.
That is, I don't.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
No, looks like every single offensive lineman I've never met
just mashed into one gigantic person.

Speaker 6 (18:53):
Okay, somebody asked me to draw an offensive lineman, and
I drew Matt McChesney.

Speaker 5 (19:00):
It's from memory.

Speaker 4 (19:03):
You didn't even need a reference photo or anything.

Speaker 5 (19:05):
You didn't know, just perfect sunglasses and everything.

Speaker 4 (19:08):
Oh it's fantastic. I would like you to send me
that rendition personally, if you go ahead and text it
over to me, I would be much appreciated. But I
think what's really scary, and guys, I've been bringing it up.
I'm laughing because you guys make me smile. But the
idea is, once you get past that first string, which
happens as injuries surmounth throughout the year, you're getting into
pretty treacherous territory. And I do like what the Broncos

(19:30):
have done by bringing in the likes of Xavier Trust
Joel Michewski, but Clay Webb. I mean, how far down
the depth chart are we going to be comfortable with
him being after we see the snaps that he takes
during training camp.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
I show if you're man, you refer to him as
the Jizzler allegedly all the allegations have been proven false.
You refer to him as his proper name.

Speaker 4 (19:55):
Good golly uh no, I shall not, and he who
mustn't be named will just remain as such. So I
appreciate that.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Interjection from just the chiseler.

Speaker 4 (20:09):
Do we all have to like hold our microphones up
to when we.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Say it too? You just want everybody to know what
his name is coach Pat. We know that you have
some scheming to do. Any final thoughts before we let
you get out of here.

Speaker 6 (20:24):
Yeah, you know, I think the I think the offensive
line worries are legitimate. I think that, you know, could
Wattenberg take a big step.

Speaker 5 (20:37):
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna.

Speaker 6 (20:39):
Take a big bet on it, just because I think
there's a lot of things that he needs to work on.
But if he does, hey, that's fantastic. I think the
the run game could absolutely use the help because he
was a much better pass blocker than he was a
run blocker, and then Forsyth was the better run blocker
than the pass blocker. So I think if Wattenberg can

(21:02):
take that jump, I think it means big things. The
problem is, you're gonna have to pay him after this season.
Can you get him for a discount. I don't know, maybe,
but I think the depth issue is is definitely one
to look at. I'm really excited to see these guys
in camp and it is time for me to go
scheme up some some high school football. Absolutely love being

(21:25):
on this show with you too, Bree. You're amazing. Don't
ever change, Mario, you look good man. That that hoodie
is fucking tits and I just love the hell out
of you both. Hey go Cardinals. Okay, go Cardinals, Lincoln
Cardinals out here in Portland, Oregon. We would love your support.

(21:45):
Thank you so much and I'll see you guys next time.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
Pat, thank you so much for the time. Always an
absolute pleasure to be joined by one of the greatest
football minds of our generation.

Speaker 6 (21:58):
And just so, just so you all Knowler is a trademark.
It is in trademark, so please use it bad.

Speaker 4 (22:06):
Okay, back, Mario has a Gizzler tattoo.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
The last time I told you that in confidence.

Speaker 4 (22:14):
I'm really sorry. We can we touch on this comment
real quick from d bronks how many teams have a
good O lined up? Half the teams in the league
don't give a good have a good starting offensive line.
While you know, obviously I agree with that, because that's
why it's so hard to poach linemen from other teams,
because everyone thinks you can just like grab a tackle
and plug and play. While versatility is going to be

(22:35):
really key here, I think what's important to note is
where the versatility is fitting in For the Denver Broncos.
I think if you are able to plug and play
some guard and center rotation, then you're going to be
in a better position. We just don't know with the
young like rookie class of offensive linemen that are presently
on the team, we just don't know the depth of
how how much versatility Champaign is going to have to

(22:57):
work with. So that's why it's concerning to me. I
don't need them all to be starting caliber, But Mario,
you alluded to it, how much is being covered up
by great guard play, Like should we actually be more
concerned about the center and the center position and the
question at center because I don't think we're seeing the
leaps and bounds that we need to see to have
success there. But once you do see success there, then

(23:19):
you've got other teams who are clamoring to pay more
money for the guy that you just developed. So the
Broncos are kind of in this in between a rock
and a hard place as they're trying to figure out
who's going to be able to step up, because if
you're not run blocking for the scheme heading into twenty
twenty five, it is the pivotal piece for this offense,
and if that's going to be an issue, I think

(23:39):
we're all going to be in kind of sore spirits
right now. It's all optimistic and excited and ooh what
could be. But if you're like week up front, it's
going to show. It's like the cracks are going to
be unbearable.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
Yeah, exactly. Well, And I want to take this a
step further because it's not even just about the depth,
but the draft is also for like building the future
of your team. Like everybody gets so bogged down Brie
and too, is this guy going to produce right away?
And typically, like for a first round pick, for like

(24:13):
a Jade Baron, you want them to produce immediately if
they're a first round pick. And I've always kind of
been of the mindset of like the later that you
get taken in a draft, I think the more time
you should be allotted to like develop in the league,
just as like a general rule of thumb. So when
you're not drafting offensive lineman, I think Wattenberg was a

(24:33):
sixth round pick several years ago. For Sight, I think
was a seventh round pick a couple of years ago.
But you look at the last ten drafts that this
team has had bre and they're not taking offensive linemen
in prime spots again aside from Garrett Bowles and that
that was a hit. Like they've gotten a lot of
really good football out of Garrett, but now he's getting

(24:55):
a little bit long in the tooth. Like the year
that they drafted him, he was older for a rookie
because he Levy went on his Mormon mission. You know,
the same kind of thing that we're seeing into Von Vley.
And at some point you have to start considering, like
where do you go from there? You have to assume
that once guys start getting and then I can't believe
I'm saying this because I'm thirty six, not fifty five.

(25:15):
I don't know what that guy was talking about. Anyway,
when you start getting into your mid thirties, Brie, unless
you're a quarterback or a kicker, that's kind of like
curtains for you. And there are special situations and there's
certain circumstances, and you know, some guys played a late thirties,
some guys played the early forties. But it's it's an anomaly.

(25:37):
It's not it's not a trend. Okay. So not only
are you lacking depth because you're not committing like premium
day one Day two and even early Day three picks
to the offensive line. Let's say Garrett Bowles has one
or two more really good years of football left in
him until he just becomes another guy. And I think

(25:57):
that's being charitable again, he's getting a little bit long
in the tooth. Mike mcglinchy, on the other side, is
not the youngest guy in the league either, So when
you start having to think about moving on from those guys, Bree,
then what's your plan. You can't just keep plugging holes
in free agency. Now. McGlinchey seems like he was a hit.
Power seems like he was a hit. But free agency

(26:20):
is always going to be exponentially more expensive than taking
a shot in the draft, and honestly, the odds of
hitting are pretty similar. I mean, the first year that
Mike McGlinchey was here, I would say that he was
a little bit of a letdown, especially for his price,
and you could say the same with Ben Powers. Now
both of them turned it around a little bit last year.
How much credit does bo Nix get for that? I
guess that remains to be seen. But you cannot make

(26:42):
a habit out of overpaying for free agency, because, as
you know, that's what free agency is all about. You
have to overpay for players because you're bidding against thirty
one other NFL teams for the services of this individual.
So if somebody is valued like their sheer value of
what they can bring you is eight million dollars, you

(27:02):
have to offer them ten and a half eleven twelve
million dollars. You are almost always going to overpay for
a free agent. So not only is it the current
depth that really, like is bothering me, because that was
an excellent point by d Box, like, how many good
backup offensive linemen are there in this league? I honestly
couldn't tell you. I'm not doing deep dives into the

(27:24):
offensive lines of the thirty one other NFL teams. I
don't really know that much about the starting offensive lines
for a lot of the other thirty one NFL teams.
I know in general who's good and who's not. So yeah,
this is nitpicky, But this is also looking towards the
future and realizing that at some point you have to
draft a left tackle again. Somehow, some way, someday, you

(27:48):
have to draft a tackle with the first or second
round pick.

Speaker 4 (27:55):
Do you You said it succinctly that I would have
to agree wholeheartedly. It's time and present, and most likely
in the next upcoming draft, you're going to have to
do just that. Please do not let Justin Marlin's comment
go without shouting him out for that. That's quite nice.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
How much did you? I didn't. I didn't want to.
I didn't want to interrupt you, and I just went
on a big, long rant. And it's it's free time now.
People tuned in to see you, not me and I
and you know, I get on a tangent and you
put the quarter in and you have to let the
whole song play. But Justin, I appreciate you. You're one
of my favorite human beings as well, even though I
don't know who you are, but I love you. Sorry,

(28:29):
go ahead, bree No, I'll.

Speaker 4 (28:31):
Just say it's it becomes more of an exponential, exponential
issue the longer you kick that can down the road,
and we've seen them have to do it. You're spending
those big paychecks on these individuals when it starts having
to pinch from other positions, and I think that that's
the last thing that you want to do. But it

(28:52):
is the price to pay to keep it up to
the standard. Like you said, bringing in powers of McGlinchey
was not a cheap maneuver, but it also has paid
dividends when it comes to developing your quarterback, and it
wasn't like it was set up to do that. You
had to deal with the down year or down years
of a Russell Wilson in contract following that. So I

(29:14):
think it's just one of those I can feel it
in the air as it lingers. So there's a ton
of optimism when it comes to this team. There's a
ton of strengths when it comes to this team. But
to neglect the fact of building from within, which is
what George Peyton and Trump Payton have said that they're
both on the same mindset and wavelength as they've gone
and constructing this team, I think it's it would almost

(29:36):
be insane to fathom that they're not going to be
focusing on that in the next year or to going
forward when it comes to draft prospects. But again, we
don't know where the programs are going to finish this year.
It could be it could be so vastly different from
what we're anticipating. Like I've got them winning eleven games.
Who's to say that that's not going.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
To be halved, yeah, exactly. And the last thing that
I kind of want to touch, and it's one of
these things that feels arbitrary and it kind of gets
mentioned and thrown out there from time to time, but
it's the general health of the team. Something that I
think more people need to realize on a deeper level

(30:16):
is how unbelievably healthy this team was last year. You know,
aside from the Alex Singleton torn acl you know, the
free concussion that Patser Tan suffered against the Chargers, the
Riley Moss injury, for the most part, this team was
unbelievably healthy, especially on the offensive line. I think there

(30:39):
was only a handful of snaps that were missed across
that across that line, and I think that was one
of the things that like triggered me to kind of
discuss the offensive line in general, because last year was
a bit of an anomaly when it comes to health
of the team. You can't always bank on that. And
the reason that this is kind of starting to resonate
with me now is because the instances in the games

(31:02):
and the moments last year where you did have to
deal with those injuries where your depth was challenged. That
was when this team struggled the most. We remember the
Browns game they lost Riley Moss. Levi Wallace for all
intents and purposes, lost that game for them. And then

(31:23):
they rushed Riley Moss back, put him in a really
good spot against the best wide receiver two in the
entire league and probably a top fifteen wide receiver in
t Higgins, and he gets absolutely cooked. He leaves a
bad taste in a lot of fans mouse even though
he had a fantastic season, And now people don't know
what to expect from Riley Moss. But every time that

(31:44):
there was an injury, I mean I had mentioned Pats
or Tan, that was arguably the flattest that that team
had looked. After patser Ten left with that concussion, that
was the flattest they had looked. And they were lucky
that they were playing a very lowly Saints team and
they didn't really have to worry about much of an
offensive onslaught from that team where they could kind of

(32:06):
Costpy without having Pat for that game. But this is
exactly the issue. It's like, it's why if you have
a problem with them drafting a Jahne Baron you absolutely
shouldn't because look what happened at this team last year
when they lost a corner. All hell broke loose and
they completely spiraled. And I think the linebacker position is
another one. Like I'm not like the biggest Alex Singleton fan.

(32:30):
I think he plays a very specific role. He does
it well, he records a lot of tackles, He's not
going to miss tackles. He's a bit of a liability
in the past game, and so you losing him, I
don't think was this massive hit, but it was more
about like the discrepancy between where you're going from Alex
Singleton to Stornaud. And I've said on the show a
ton I love what Justin Strenaud was able to do

(32:53):
last year. I think he far exceeded my expectations and
a lot of people's expectations because you're talking about basically
a lifelong special team or stepped in and did an
admirable job. This is the difference between a team that
sneaks into the playoffs has to win Week eighteen in
order to get the last wild card spot, and a

(33:14):
team that is contending for the division. For a team
that is going to win one or multiple playoff games
is when somebody goes down, can you fill them in?
So as long as they are able to stay healthy,
and we could just hope and pray to our deva
Bronco football gods that this team can somehow have like
a ninety eight percent healthy success rate, then yeah, Brie,

(33:37):
I think eleven games is easy. Eleven wins is easily
the floor. But as a body worker, like, as a
health practitioner, as somebody who has been working on Bronco
players for the better half of a decade, it does
not happen very often. And you can give credit to
whoever you want to give. At the end of the day,

(33:58):
a lot of it comes down to sheer, dumbloy luck.
That's just what it is. Teams have to get lucky
because at some point, it doesn't matter how good the
training staff is, the people calling the shots. These guys
are going out and they're playing a collision sport once
a week and they're practicing in between those games. So
that's what's worrying me because still, despite the gains that

(34:20):
they made, the depth to me is terrifying. And I'll
ask you this, Brie, like, is there aside from bone
nicks and we'll say, aside from Pats or Tan, what
position would you most be worried about getting bitten by
the injury bug? Where you're like, man, if they start
to thin out at this position, they could be in

(34:41):
a lot of trouble.

Speaker 4 (34:42):
Well, I want to echo your sentiment too, because football
is a sport of attrition, and no matter how healthy
your team is going into it, there's a lot of
veterans on this team where it could be touch and
go for a long slot of that. Football is weird, though.
I don't think we talk enough about the human element
of the idea of circumstance versus momentum versus. You could
take the greatest player on a team and move them

(35:04):
to another team, and their output and their efficiency is
going to be widely different. Production aside, like it all
goes to hell when something changes in the vacuum that
is a player's personal experience. So I just want to
talk first and foremost about how much that resonates with me,
because it was a lot of momentum being burst when

(35:26):
you get down a Riley Moss or a Patrick's certin.
And it's not just because of the caliber of player
they are. It's because of the connection. We saw a
little lapse of it when Justin Simmons left the team.
Like whenever a key player on the team goes down
where their voice and their leadership and their veteran prowess
is missing, if it's injury or otherwise, I think that

(35:48):
can affect the team greatly. And games are decided by
so few points nowadays that it's kind of it's kind
of hard to say that an injury late in a game,
even late in a season, late in a game, could
be the change in whether or not you're playing for
a division winning game or a while. You know, Like

(36:09):
it's just it's that close. The margin of error is
so slight. But it's got to be the secondary, and
it's the offensive line. Like I already I already talked
about being worried about the death, being unsure of what
we have when it comes to the offensive line. But
I always like to say you can never have enough
cornerbacks and dbs in safeties and whatnot. Like I think

(36:30):
the idea that you lose somebody in such a high
key position, specifically when this roster is so scary when
you look at it, especially by adding Havunga and just
being presently prepared for having a really strong secondary the
thought of someone getting nipped there. They'll obviously try to
keep the practice squad loaded up so that they're able

(36:52):
to plug and play. But I think that's such an
important scheme, this defense, that once you lose someone there,
you lose the fluidity, you lose what you've built into vance.
Joseph wants this to look a certain way, so you
hate to lose somebody in that umbrella. So I'm thinking
they're just from the strategy of how football works. Is

(37:13):
really important you're inside your outside. But as far as
like actual depth goes, I think Pat coach Pat was
right on the target when he talked about not having
that tight end depth that you need in order to
really be a difference maker here in the league. So
it'll be interesting to see if Caleb Loher is that.
But if you get an injury to a free agency

(37:34):
in like Evan Ingram or you know, you lose someone
like an Adam Troutman who's been such a staunch anchor
for that position, I think you're just in a little
bit of a slippier slope than you found yourself to begin,
and that was a position that's been of need for
quite some time. I know there was a comment about
Noah Fant and his release from Seattle. We saw that,

(37:54):
We saw that try to play its way out in Denver.
It didn't work out, and that was a position where
Mario you touched on the idea that if you're drafted early,
you have less of a leash in order to have
that time to develop and whatnot. Needed that extra time.
And once he got there, I think that he was serviceable,
but it would have to be for a pretty cheap

(38:16):
cost in order to consider for Denver to consider bringing
him back in. But when your tight end room is
where it's at, I think it begs the question on
are you checking under every stone and turning over every
rock to see if you have the availability on the
roster to do so so? Could it be a possibility, sure,
But I don't think Broncos Country really has the patience

(38:36):
for where this is. And I think that's the barometer
of the team and where it's at if you get
a couple of injuries too many. And believe me, the
Denver Moroccos last year were being one of the healthiest
teams after feeling like most, if not seventy percent of
your roster was on the ir at a certain point
in the last couple of seasons. It's just it's really
it's nice. I don't foresee it being immediately a trend

(38:59):
or a forecat that we could say for twenty twenty five,
but I think there's a lot that's pointing towards the
ability to maintain that, especially because the roster is so young.
So I feel like I'm a little tangential here as
I'm trying to run through all of the things that
could go wrong. But I don't have a whole lot
of high key anxiety when it comes to this team,

(39:19):
at least what they're presently doing. Like every decision has
felt pretty good. I don't know if you're in agreement there,
But is there another position where you could see them
kind of faltering if they lost somebody?

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Yeah, And you're right, And I don't want to give
the intention or the thought that like I'm worried, Like
I'm not worried about this team. If this team stays
relatively healthy, they are a playoff team on paper, They're
a double digit win team on paper. But again, like
you have to go out there and perform and you
could say that about every single solitary playoff contender. You

(39:53):
can say that about the Chiefs. It's like, yeah, you
can say that about the Eagles. The teams that have
the best rosters in the NFL, well, uh, they still
have to go out there and play. They still have
to go out there and win games. You know, if
the if the officials decide not to hand the Chiefs wins,
are they able to win on their own volition? And
you know that that remains to be seen because we've

(40:13):
never really gotten an opportunity to see if the Chiefs
can win on their own. I don't want this episode
to feel like like doom and gloom. This isn't And
I know the title is like, oh, what are the
weaknesses of the Denver Broncos. But here's what I want
people to unders understand categorically about what I'm talking about.
This isn't oh are they going to be good or bad?

(40:35):
This is they exceeded expectations. Last year. They were good.
Last year, they were a double digit playoff win team.
Double digit win playoff team. Now that that is the floor,
that is the well established floor of You cannot go
below that because you have a marketably better roster. You

(40:56):
have a second year quarterback, and you have the same
coach quarterback competent nation for the first time, I think
they said since twenty fourteen, returning for their for their
second year. Okay, So what I want you to take
from this exercise, if you're listening, is is this team
good enough to win a playoff game? Is this team

(41:18):
good enough to host a playoff game, win the division,
make it to the AFC Championship game. That's where you
need to start getting into the nitty gritty of a
football team. They were good last year, they need to
be great this year. So you're asking me like the
other concerns that I have, And honestly, I thought I

(41:40):
thought Pat did a great job of like pointing out
all of them. The tight end. We've discussed the linebacker position,
and I've seen it in here in the chat a bunch,
and that was kind of like the number one thing.
I love Drake Greenlaw. He's fantastic. We would be fools
if we ignored the fact that there is an injury
history there. And let's say that green Law is completely

(42:04):
healthy plays every single snap, which is best case scenario,
who is playing next to him. Do you want Alex Singleton,
who I believe is thirty two to thirty three years old,
coming off of a torn acl and recovering from that,
a guy who you know already didn't have the best
lateral quickness. And again, I don't want to make it
seem like I'm shitting on Alex Singleton, because I'm not.

(42:27):
He's a really good inside linebacker. But in today's NFL
bree we're starting to see defenses be a little bit smaller,
but much faster, much quicker, much more reactionary. Gone are
the days where you're seeing the Cam Chancellor type of safety.
Gone are the days where you're seeing the uh, the

(42:50):
Al Wilson caliber of inside linebacker. The inside linebackers now
they're going six two six three, two thirty five to
two forty five. You're seldom going to see an inside
linebackers that's heavier than two sixty five. Because teams aren't
trying to pound the rock anymore. You have to have
freak athletes that can go sideline to sideline. Alex Singleton

(43:14):
isn't that guy, and that's okay. He's an archetype that
I think is a dying breed in the NFL. Then
who do you have outside of him? Lavell Bailey, you know,
showed some flashes during preseason, but he was playing against
guys that are bagging groceries. Now, you want to like
Drew Sanders and like the Drew Sanders body type. Athletic

(43:35):
type is what you need out of a linebacker, But
does he have it between the ears? It's difficult to
go from inside linebacker to edge. Well maybe you're playing
edge now, Well, now we need you to be the
inside linebacker because we don't really know what's going on
next to Drake Greenlaw. But we also might have you
rush the passer and the guy went to Arkansas. That's

(43:55):
all I'm gonna say. An inside linebacker is a very
heady position. I'm making any accusations. I'm just saying he's
gonna have to show me something if he's going to
potentially be the starting inside linebacker. So I think that's
the biggest red flag to me. And again, Breed, this
is not like, oh that this could be a seven
win team. That's not what I'm talking about. If you

(44:17):
want to have a championship roster, though, every I needs
to be dotted, every T needs to be crossed, which
let me just say this, I've never understood that saying
if you don't cross a T, it's an L. So
of course you're not gonna understand like that. That's not
like a minute pay.

Speaker 4 (44:35):
If you don't dot an eye, the.

Speaker 2 (44:38):
Difference between the T and an L is pretty stupid.
And yeah, you're right, you could make it a little
bit smaller, right if you put an eye a lowercase
I next to a lower or lowercase L and you
don't dot the I, you'll be able to tell the
difference between the eye and the L. You put a
T next to an L. Let's say you're trying to
spell little and you don't cross your t's, you're stupid.

(45:02):
Because then, just so.

Speaker 4 (45:06):
I hate you for making me say that out loud.
I'm just letting you know right now that.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
Gave that gave me the ick. But yeah, this is
this is the difference. Now Like now, as Bronco fans,
we're back in that realm that we were, you know,
between twenty twelve and twenty fifteen where h standards, expectations, Yeah,
I'm sanders and expectations. What the fuck does that feel like?

(45:32):
Because we haven't known for a decade. Okay, David talks
Broncos chimes in, and I was waiting for David to
come here and make a comment about atg Dan Perry.
He makes the loss over trent Sherfield. David, I'm gonna
make a deal with you because you've turned me into
an AT Perry hater, and I'm mocked. I drafted him
in my Dynasty rookie draft when he was a rookie, Okay,

(45:55):
because I like at Perry. I don't want to talk
about at Perry and my show every freaking week. If
eighteen Perry makes the active roster over trent Sherfield, I
will buy me and you and.

Speaker 1 (46:06):
CoDIAK Broncos, who's also here and who's also fantastic.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
I'm gonna buy all of you hood rats at Perry Jerseys, Okay,
but I'm not gonna get the nice one, Okay. I'm
gonna get the knockoff one from Tamu. Okay. I'm not
haying more than twenty dollars for an at Perry Jersey.

Speaker 4 (46:24):
Mario, what number does at Perry even wear? This is
what number?

Speaker 2 (46:29):
He's the only guy going into Trenton campus on the
fuck list eighty four eighty seven. I don't know David's
his biggest fan. David, what number is at Perry if
you're such a big at Parry fan eighty seven eighty.

Speaker 4 (46:45):
David sick David for coming in here all crazy bringing
the AT pair. You know, it's fine, it's all right.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
I respect. They do this on They do this on purpose. Brie,
the whole, the whole little gang of guys. Okay, and
well they're they're all they're they're fantastic, but they like
for some reason, and now it's become a shtick. Were like,
if at Perry gets mentioned, I feel like I have
to get upset. They even just like at Perry, but
they've pushed me.

Speaker 4 (47:14):
I don't have anything against the guy, but I feel
like just.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
From your reaction alone, like I do.

Speaker 4 (47:19):
No, it's personal at this point. It's kind of like
when you mentioned shoot who used to drive that crazy?
I mean it's Singleton now, but he he has a
player every season where it's like you mentioned, yeah, Zach
is a little bit of a Bonix hater. I don't

(47:40):
think he is wrong by saying that Gino Smith presently though,
is the better quarterback. Like we don't we don't know
what like what we're showing from Bonicks is what we
are anticipating his ceiling to be, or at least, let's
say his floor, because we can't guess where his ceiling
is going to be. What Gino Smith has done over

(48:02):
his career is going to be part and parcel better
than what b Enix has shown us in the one
year that he's had in the NFL. That, to me
is what zach Seger's are like. Whole stance is like,
I get it, Broncos Country Bonix is great. He blew
my expectations away. But I what's been proven and what

(48:24):
is still left on the table or wildly different conversations.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
I think that hell has frozen over because you come
on to my show, come on, you ask me here.

Speaker 4 (48:42):
I didn't like ask you to bring me on.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
And you come over here with your with your charm
and your your your vast knowledge of the game, and
you agree with zach Seger's about Smith.

Speaker 4 (48:59):
I'm saying where he's coming from is not that crazy
like I am.

Speaker 2 (49:09):
We've lost breathe that is so I'm just kidding, because
it like you were gonna then justify what you were saying.
I'm not.

Speaker 4 (49:21):
I'm not even saying that he's like a better quarterback.
Just what we've seen thus far is all we can
base our conversations on.

Speaker 2 (49:29):
Yo, let me cross, let me cross my tea here,
let me let me, let me let me cross my tea.
I'm gonna take a time out here. Okay, my, my,
My good friend Q Davis here would like you to
know that Geno Smith's best season was not even better

(49:51):
than Bow's rookie year.

Speaker 4 (49:54):
Can I say that you weren't even listening to what
I said when I said I think Zach's argument is
not I agree with Zach Siegers that he's right on
this stance, Like I get it, But I'm not going
to come out here like we still don't know what
bonis is long term? You know what trends are like,
you have to see you can't have just one singular identity,

(50:17):
like an instance of something, and say that that's what
a thing is.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
Like.

Speaker 4 (50:20):
We my my hope and my guess and my approximation
is that Bonix is going to outperform how he did
in twenty twenty four, but we don't know that yet,
So I just don't. You can't go around flippantly giving
all these absolutes man, Like I think it's a little
bit it's a little bit heavy handed. That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (50:42):
What absolute am I giving you.

Speaker 4 (50:46):
I'm just saying to that was not that was gonna
be talking to you. I'm not saying that. I know,
calm down, dear, I'm not saying that you are.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
I worked up in the comments because they mentioned at Perry. Okay, David, I'm.

Speaker 4 (51:02):
You go, we're going to put you in time out
for a little bit, and it's simply because you've upset Mario.
Because the idea here is that yeah, we like, we
know Bonnicks is him, Like we're going to see what
twenty twenty five bon Nicks looks like. I'm in the
camp that it's going to exceed our expectations again. But
let's just chill on trying to put him in top

(51:22):
ten quarterbacks in the NFL and the league presently after
what he's given us over one season in his rookie year. Like,
let's just chill.

Speaker 7 (51:33):
You are correct, You are correct, and this is another
thing that I want to see and we can wrap
up here shortly as well, as long as we're talking
about like general weaknesses, A weakness that I don't think
it's discussed enough in uh, you know, in this space
and in this realm.

Speaker 2 (51:53):
But I'm gonna do it because, as you know, Altitude
Adjustment is unlike any Broncos podcast ever, for better or
for worse, it's unique. The biggest weakness that I see
doesn't even lie with the team, Brie. It lies with
the fans and how thin skinned this fan base has

(52:16):
become in regards to their quarterback, Bonnicks. I love Bonnicks.
I think Bonnicks will be knocking on the door of
being a top ten quarterback this year. But just because
Bomani Jones, who probably watched ten total minutes of Broncos

(52:39):
football last year, said something mean about your quarterback and
I and I contribute to this, Okay, Brie, Like there
was a Broncos fan account that just said noted and
Bomani loants his shit over a Broncos fan account, and
so of course I got involved. But you know what

(52:59):
else I notice, Brie, The Bronco fans, just like they
do for Nick, right, just like they did for Bomani,
just like they did for these know nothing nobody little
podcasters who don't know the first thing about Broncos football
that said mean stuff, they flot the mansions, stop it,
stop doing that. Well, Mario don't need to do that, because.

Speaker 1 (53:22):
If he's good enough, if he's good enough, bri, we
don't need to say shit. Okay, if Bonix gets better
and better year in year out, if he makes the
playoffs again, if he wins the division, do you really
think that Bronco fans need to come to his aid? No, So,
how about instead of being all pissy about what people

(53:46):
think about your quarterback, just let them We'll be a quarterback.

Speaker 4 (53:51):
And then you could just be like, oh, you know,
that's why they do it, Mario and everybody watching, whether
you give a shit or not about my whole sense.

Speaker 2 (54:01):
The reason the reason that.

Speaker 4 (54:04):
Accounts do that is because one they know Broncos fans
are easily excitable and that they'll reply quote, tweet, screenshot, tag,
call out, roast, whatever you want to call it. You
guys think you're getting on one, like you think you're
getting up on these individuals, But what they're doing is
engagement farming. And so when they say all these out
outrageous things and they make all these wild comments where

(54:26):
you're like, oh my god, how could somebody ever say that.
There's no way they actually believe that. Chances are they don't,
and they're saying it so that you'll quote tweet them
and give them engagement and give them views. It's not
always clickbait either, but it is the idea that there's
going to be that happen for It's it's the idea
that they're going to say something that excites someone, whether
negatively or positively, which is why when you talk in

(54:49):
these oh my god, he's the greatest thing ever. Oh
my god, he's the worst thing ever. That guy's a bum.

Speaker 5 (54:53):
That guys.

Speaker 4 (54:54):
I'll go the reason those conversations happen. They release those
little graphics and you go, oh my god, how could
they ever forget to add this person. It's so you
the fan quote tweet it outraged and go, oh my god,
you're an idiot for leaving this person off of there.
Stop being a mindless pawn in the game that is

(55:14):
engagement on the interwet. Just figure it out. You'll be
so much better mentally if you just stop engaging with
the warfare. It's all fun and games, and we do
it in Broncos Country with each other and we're like Oh,
you're crazy for all this, But when it's national accounts
or it's somebody tweeting something that's absolutely ridiculous, they want
you to fall for it.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
It's just like the list that came out and I
can't tell you who did it. It was probably from
some joke publication who ranked Justin Fields and Anthony Richardson above,
note bnicks and the AFC, And it's just like, why
do you care if you and your heart of hearts
know that that's not true and it's just a beyond ridiculous,

(55:56):
silly thing to say. Does it make you feel better
that you were OpEd in to that nonsensical behavior by
that other person? See when when smart people argue with
dumb people, smart people aren't bringing them up to their level, Brie.

(56:16):
The only way for a dumb person to win in
an argument with the smart person is to bring the
smart person down to their level, which is really the
only option aside from the smart person simply turning around
and leaving the conversation entirely because the smart person will
never be able to elevate a dumb person, and a
smart person has nowhere to go but down. So next

(56:39):
time you find yourself in one of these situations, simply
ask yourself self my smart? Are am I dumb? And
that should give you all the clarity that you need
real quick. David wants to know who is this year's
Lil Jordan Humphrey. Well, David, I think it's pretty obvious
this year is Little Jordan Humphrey is at Perry.

Speaker 4 (57:03):
Oh. I was gonna say it's little Jordan Humphrey. You
can't get rid of him. He's like the glitter.

Speaker 2 (57:11):
I really like this idea, and Todiac is so on it. Codiac.
I can't wait to have you back on the show
because you were so freaking good when we did Engage eight.
Engage Bait eight is absolutely going to be what we
call the next segment of Engage A. I don't know
when it's gonna happen, uh, but we are going to

(57:32):
do it. Bri. I appreciate you sticking with me through
thick and thin. You know that you're one of my
favorite people all time. And anybody that says that you're
only where you at because of your looks, well they
just they just don't know you that will. I mean,
You're you got looks and personality. You're a double threat. Girl.

(57:54):
And it's just so fantastic that you take time away
from your busy schedule to come be with me. And
I'm honored and I'm privileged, and I can't believe that
I get to call you a friend. That's right, everybody.
I know brems this in real life, and she's my friend.

(58:15):
And you don't kneel before me any closing comments before
we get out of here, Bri.

Speaker 4 (58:22):
I don't know where you're going with that, but jokes
on you. It doesn't make me uncomfortable anymore. I just
wanted to just just keep on going. I don't even
think it anymore.

Speaker 2 (58:34):
We likes compliments now, this is this is six years
in the making. I'm proud of you.

Speaker 4 (58:41):
Don't get it wrong, like I don't get it twisted.
I do not like compliments. I'm just no longer going
to let anything affect me that's not within my control.
You can go ahead and be a doofis all you want.
But I'll just sit here and do my own thing
and it's all good.

Speaker 2 (58:52):
I'll control the fact that you're pretty, Bri. And you
can't control the fact that you're smart, Brie, okay, And
you can't control the fact that you're the best thing
going at let's talk, Broncos by a pretty wide margin.
You can't control it, so you might as well just
steer into the skid and be like, yeah, that's me,

(59:16):
that is me.

Speaker 4 (59:17):
I'm just gonna lean in at this point.

Speaker 2 (59:19):
Are you uncomfortable yet? Nope? Good, We're making so much progress.
Little did everybody know this was becoming a therapy session
between its Asi therapy and bre Uh give something to
go out on, Brie. What do you any any parting
words of wisdom or how do you want to how
do you want to wrap up your your part of

(59:40):
this at.

Speaker 4 (59:42):
The end of the day, Just keep going, man, life's
too tough to be sad, and just keep doing every
single day what you gotta do to get it done.

Speaker 2 (59:51):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (59:52):
That's why I'm here at nine eleven night in my bedtime.
So rest well, be well, talk out your feet, feel
your feelings, and smile through it. Even if you know
things make you uncomfortable.

Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:00:06):
I get shit for you, like this is not that
I will have my baby tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
This is just that was that was so good? That
was wonderful advice. I think David wouldn't be so unhinged
if he actually listened to you. Before we get out
of here, We'd like to thank our sponsor, Alloy Fitness
of Centennial. Right now, they are running a trial for
new members to get a one on one consultation, functional

(01:00:34):
movement screen in body scan, nutrition guidance, accountability session, and
three full sessions with their personal trainers for just ninety
nine dollars. That's Alloy Fitness in Centennial. You ask for Kaylee,
you tell them that Mario sent you, and she will
give you an even bigger discount. Breed people ask me

(01:00:56):
all the time, how are your biceps so big? And
it's bed because I follow a very strict regimen of
getting enough protein and calories and doing nothing but bicep curls. Now,
if I actually went to Alloy Fitness, which I am
planning to do very soon, the rest of my body
would probably look about as half as impressive as my biceps.

(01:01:19):
But seeing as though I've been branded as the bicep Guy,
I weep through my lifts at twenty four Hour Fitness
because I'm only allowed to do bicep curls. Again, Alloy
Fitness and Centennial make sure you check them out. Alloy fitness.
It's not a cult like CrossFit. My name is Baria Vitansi.

(01:01:41):

make sure I got it right.
