Speaker 1 (00:03):
Lt B stands for Let's Talk Broncos, but b f
D stands for Broncos for Dummies and Big fucking Deal,
which is what it is to have Dez from Broncos
for Dummies on Altitude Adjustment.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Info Switch. I hit hit the rose to that hiccup.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I hit the stage with money. That's a stick up.
I could hear some like weird background music before I
hit the intro, so I apologize for that. Uh technical difficulties,
but technically it wasn't that difficult. Dez from Let's Talk Broncos.
What's up?
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Dez? Thanks for joining me, dude, Mario, I had to
scurry off and find my own sunglasses to join you.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
My dude, you wear hater blockers on this We wear
hater blockers on this show. Okay, the show has a
prominent amount of haters, uh, and so we block them
because a lot of people can't really handle uh. The
insane fire takes that Pat and I routinely drop on
the show. And before we get to the insanely hot
(01:18):
fire takes, why don't you tell us about your new podcast?
Everything you got going on? Fill us in what are
you up to?
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Oh my god, Hi guys, For those who don't know me,
my name is Dez. I run a fan account called
Broncos for Dummies, quick little elevator pitch. I started years
ago because I wanted the dumbed down version on what's
going on in Broncos country, and so I made it.
So that's what I do. I'm a fan first ninety
two percent sports journalists, and I say that so fucking loosely,
(01:48):
all right, Broncost for Dummies is where I started. And
then I just started up my own podcast, just talking
more just like you, Mario with my friend and it's
called sports Ball and uh, we're we have episodes every Tuesday.
We talk all things NFL. Because unfortunately he is a
Dolphins fan.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
So and you're trying to work him to like to
like rooting for a good team, right.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I mean like anything like out of all teams, Dolphins really,
but yeah, trying to convert him ever so slowly. I
think he will never convert, but I I'll still try.
I'll still try.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
You're you're you're fighting the good fight, and that's what
we appreciate about you. So because you do a show
called Broncos for Dummies, I thought it would be apropos
das if we talked about why all the other teams
in the AFC West were in fact dummies. Now for
Dens show, you know, dummy is an endearing term, right,
(02:48):
But the way that we're going to talk about the
rest of the AFC West, it's not going to be endearing.
It's gonna be undearing. I think that's the opposite of endearing.
So why don't we start with why don't we start
with a softball? Okay, the Las Vegas Raiders who have
been the Los Angeles Raiders the Oakland Raiders. I think
they were actually Los Angeles two different times. Uh, and
(03:11):
both times not enough people in Los Angeles even cared
enough about the Raiders to keep them there. Not enough
people in Oakland cared about them. And really this is
a trend because nobody in Las Vegas really cares about
the Raiders. Suffice it to say, does I don't think
anybody noteworthy actually cares about the Raiders. To me, that's
(03:32):
what makes them dummies.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I could not agree more. And you think about, like,
if you were to ever torture someone, right, let's like
put those torture hats on and we said, hey, I'm
going to play one noise and one noise only. And
this is going to be the worst thing you've ever
heard in your life. It's the Raiders chant, all right.
I literally least thinks it. It does. It's the most
(03:57):
annoying thing. Think of something better. So that's why I
think their dummies, all right, is I'll torture my tortures
with the Raiders chance. But yeah, it's it's quite sad.
We were at the Vegas game. Actually a year in
a few months ago, was it this, Janiel?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Those those were the Russell Wilson days? Uh about those days?
In fact, in fact, this time next year, does it'll
be like Russell Wilson is a distant memory because his
contract will be completely off the board, off the books,
and we no longer have to suffer the guys of
Russell Wilson. And it feels so good.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
You're so right. I mean, I.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Believe we were in Vegas. We were in Vegas or
like around that time. If there was something going on,
I'm not I'm not entirely sure, but I did see
you there.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
And fantastic, it was fantastic. And I saw a couple
of Raiders fans here and there, and they just don't care.
That's the thing. They like do a lot, but they don't.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
The Raiders fans in Vegas like not the ones that
drive from California, and there aren't that many because most
Raider fans, of course, are locked up and you know
they can't they can't make parole or whatever the term is.
I've never been arrested, so I can't really speak on
personal experience, but the fans in Las Vegas, they kind
(05:22):
of just go because it's there. Like the Las Vegas Knights.
I think that's different because that's their own team. Like
the Raiders franchise decided to move to Las Vegas and
they were like, hey, the Raiders are here. We're a
Las Vegas team, and everybody that lived in Vegas was like,
you're no, we don't care about you. The Vegas Knights
(05:44):
are our team because they originated here. It's like five
different homes over the course of your tenure as a team,
nobody wants you.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Like.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I feel like it's inevitable dead at this point that
the Raiders are gonna end up in Saint Louis because
that city is starved for a football team and it's
just gonna be hilarious because then Rams fans heads are
gonna explode.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Truly, honestly, the only good thing about The Raider is
going to Vegas is that now there's a Vegas trip
that sproncles fans can go on once a year. Truly,
about so.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
As long as we're talking about dummies, and another exercise
that I wanted to extend to you during this video
or during this podcast, I wanted to compare all of
the teams in the a f C West to certain
reality shows. And I wanted to do this because reality shows,
by and larger smut. Right, They're dumb. It's dumb content
(06:38):
that that some people are. Listen. I understand the inherent
value of reality shows, but it's dumb.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Bro, I listen. We can be enemies for this segment.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
That's fine, all right. I love to start us off.
I'm gonna tell you The Raider to me, okay, remind
me of Jersey Shore. Just nothing but trash. All of
everyone in the Raiders, the players, the organization, the front office, trashy,
(07:13):
just like Jersey Shore. Or if we wanted to even
take it a step further, Dez, I don't watch this show.
I don't really watch any of these shows, but I'm
familiar enough with them. The Raiders are also kind of
like Hoarders, where they're a franchise that just kind of
like gathers trash and they've just held on to this
trash for decades. And then like their their friends, their family,
(07:38):
their loved ones, they've tried to intervene and say, get
rid of some of this trash, and the Raiders are
just like, nah, we're full of trash, just like the
Jersey Shore, just like getting arrested and all everyone.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
And you know what, the Jersey Shore used to be great.
The actual physical place of the Jersey Shore. There are
people that say, yo, the Jersey Shore, it's a great place.
But it was great, I don't know, thirty forty fifty
years ago, just like the last time you won a
Super Bowl, all right, so yeah, one, you know you
(08:14):
were great back then. It's been a long time, my man.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
And as long as we're talking about like trash, I
wanted to get your opinion on this whole Christian Wilkins situation.
And if you're listening and you're in the chat, if
you have his contract numbers, please let me know. So
the Raiders signed Christian Wilkins last year to an insane contract. Right.
It was a big deal for them at the time.
They're trying to shore of their defensive line, pair them
(08:40):
with Max Crosby. On paper, it seemed great. He has
since been released and we have no idea why. But
I think one of our one of the listeners, might
have an insight into it. So he said, you know,
playing to the LTB, let's talk, but let's talk but
the patient nineteen ninety one, because if I had to guess,
(09:03):
I would say, there's probably some butt stuff happening with
Christian Wilkins. And that's why you don't hear any information
about why he was released, and everybody was real hush
hush about it, just not released. Am I wrong? If
I'm wrong, tell me you are.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
You're wrong in the sense that you don't know one
thousand percent.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Okay, there was little inklings and droplets that there could
have been something along those lines, but we just don't
know for sure because what first came out was that
he was not showing up to practice.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
He wouldn't get the surgery that all these doctors wanted.
That was the first part of this story, right.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
That's what we sa sounding like butt stuff to me.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Okay, that's the butt stuff that you think. That's the
butt stuff, not the hymn kissing a player on the forehead.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Allegedly.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Yoh, you see, I think that happened. But I mean,
we can't go from fucking zero to eighty and too.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
So say he points out four dead four years one
and ten million dollars fifty seven point five guaranteed at
signing twenty nine point seven seven five million deb cap charge.
If there is something trashier than that, not seen.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
It, Unrell, and it's it's so my host sportsball Dolphins fan.
He was a Dolphins player. Everyone loves him in Miami.
I mean there's he's a good player. So the fact
that this is happening, a lot of Dolphins fans are like, wait,
bring them back, bring them back. But then new stores
keeps getting dropped and it keeps coming out, and you
(10:52):
just don't know what way it's gonna go next. But
the fact that they're willing to eat bee all of
that dead cap something bad had to have happened.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
They're eating a lot of ass, that's for sure. Cody said,
we all knew watch his pet, watch his Clemson clips.
I'm telling you there's something to it. If you haven't
seen it, Dez, or if you're watching this and you
don't know what is talking about. There was but stuff amiss. Okay,
it was happening, So we're it's let's talk. But thanks
(11:21):
a lot. Christian Wilkins, Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Oh my god, all right? Are we passed? Less? Talk
talking Bunny?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Is there anything else you want to say about why
the Raiders are dummies?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I think I hit that. Also, they just don't have
a home base, like they talked their talk, but it's
like you don't, you don't have any you have loyalty. Actually,
you know what if if you were in Oakland, a
person in Oakland, you got loyalty. But other than that,
you're all over the place. No one knows where you are.
It's just I don't think about you much.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
But is it is it even like is it even
loyalty though from Oakland? Because like, and correct me if
I'm wrong. I think they started in Oakland, moved to
LA moved back to Oakland, no one seemed to notice,
and then they went to Vegas. Correct, So do people
in Oakland even really care that much? I mean, does
(12:20):
when you used to watch the games. Anytime the Broncos
would play the Raiders, and they of course shared the
baseball stadium, the upper tarp was always blocked off like
that upper section, and I don't know if they did
that to convince themselves that they were selling out games,
because like the lower Bowl was full, but there was
a whole big ass Raiders tarp on the top because
(12:41):
no one was buying those seats. Like what the Colorado
Rockies did with the party deck, right, except they never
transitioned it into something else. It was just an area
and nobody.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Went to correct correct But it's the best part of
stadium now.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
It is, And that was the mistake the Raiders made.
They didn't they didn't turn it into a party deck.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
They did not, So another reason the fans don't care,
no dumb.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
So I think we've said enough about the Raiders. We
can certainly circle back and talk more shit about them,
because there's few things that I enjoy more. Let's let's
transition to the San Diego speaking of a team that
can't find a location, right, And it is kind of
funny that ultimately Los Angeles replaced the Raiders with the Chargers.
(13:31):
But you want to talk about fans that don't care.
Like you said, at least Raider fans are loyal, and
I don't give that to them, like they're loyal to
a fault. But the Chargers don't even have fans really.
I mean, they played at Qualcom for all those years
in San Diego, and then when so Far was being built,
they were playing at like some I think it was
(13:53):
a soccer stadium actually, and I went there. Terrible vantage
points all around, but they were the only people that
were like, oh, yeah, we don't have anything else going on,
because we're a soccer stadium, we'll probably get equal capacity
for Chargers games. And now they're in Los Angeles, where
again nobody seems to care. So the reality show that
I'd like to compare to the Chargers is The Bachelor. Okay,
(14:17):
there's always so much publicity around The Bachelor. You see
advertisements for it about why this season of The Bachelor
is so good, why it's so much better than past
Bachelor seasons, why you know it's the best reality dating
show out there, and then when it's all said and done,
it lets you down at the very end, when push
(14:38):
comes to shove and somebody has to make a commitment.
It never gets done. So despite all the pomp and
circumstance and being told that this is such a good
show at the end of this season, it always falls
flat and fails. If that's not the Los Angeles San
Diego soccer team argers, I don't know what is.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Well, I don't know what is. And also you're always
fighting for that single rose, a single rows at the end,
and guess what, most of the time you don't get it.
Most of the time you don't get that Lombardi trophy.
You know, it's just hand in hand. It makes sense
well in.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Fact, not just usually, but never never, ever, ever, have
ever ever get the one. They've never gotten the rose.
Just the sparse amount of Charger fans that are out
there what makes them dummies? Des Honestly, So.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I live in LA so I'm around that. Do I
say fans? No? Because I knew two Chargers fans before
they moved to Los Angeles from San Diego to Los Angeles,
and I was there when they decided to move, and
so I asked those fans, I said, oh my god,
are you I did? What do you think? Mind you?
They live in LA Both of them separately said no,
(16:06):
we're not going to be fancy more since they're moving. Dumb.
That's dumb to me. Dumb. If you're a real dumb,
you stick with them, especially if they're coming to your
where you live. Dumb. Also number two reason they're dumb.
When you go to Sofi Stadium, typically it's a second
home game for the Broncos. At least what I go
to second home game for the Broncos mad vibes, You
(16:28):
definitely gotta go. Most of the time. It is La
influencers there that the Chargers had invited out given Chargers
jerseys too, and they should wear and watch a football game.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, but you'll
let go. And you see, oh there's Chargers fans here. No, no, no, no,
quite the contrary, the Chargers are giving them jerseys to
(16:51):
where so yet again why yeah, those fans not true fans.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
So they literally have to pay four fans pretend to
care about their bachelor ass football team.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
You remember that Oh my god, the woman that shook
the internet. The she was like, oh my god, are
they gonna win or are they gonna win? That short
little woman and everyone was like, is she a plant
or is she an act? And some of it came
out that she does have season tickets, some of it
came out that she is an actor. I actually really
don't know the truth. To be fair, we're.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Going to be perfectly honest. When I saw her, like
the way that she emoted made me really uncomfortable. So
I'm just gonna chalk that up to the fact that
she was clearly AI.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
AI. Yeah, orget yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Don't think that she's a real person. I think that's
that's artificial intelligence. And speaking of that, wasn't there at
some point, I want to say, the last season or
the season before where they were promoting a movie where
it was like literally artificial intelligence. So there was like
there was like robots, and they were at a Chargers
game as they were promoting this movie of like artificial intelligence.
(18:07):
So they literally had to manufacture fans to attend a
Chargers game as a Chargers I don't even want to
say fan. Let's just call them a mild enthusiast.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Okay, holy go, I've forgot about that. Oh my god,
you're so right up, like, oh God, feel bad for them. Honestly,
it's actually like Raiders fans don't feel bad for Chargers fans. God,
feel bad for you guys. You guys don't have an identity,
like you keep losing fans left and right. You have
(18:40):
to pay people to like you. I don't want to
be that.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Yeah, that sounds horrible. Now, a fan base that will
get no sympathy uh from us. Statistically, according to a
study that I made up, one of the most unintelligent,
uninformed fan bases is the Kansas City Chiefs. And to me,
I think the Kansas City Chiefs really remind me of
(19:07):
Love is Blind. You know, there is. It's kind of
it's kind of become the king of reality TV showing
like reality dating shows of late and everything seems fine
at face value, right, Like if you're just a casual observer,
you're like, Okay, I see the value in this. You
(19:28):
know it's it's successful. But if you start to dig
a little bit deep and you start to listen to
the things that are going on behind closed doors during
Love is Blind, the abhorrent living situations and the things
that they're putting these contestants through. Again when the cameras
(19:48):
are off behind closed doors, it is deplorable to me.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Wait, I don't know this, what is happening, like.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Apparently there have been, like they so they have to
sign the NDA. I'm gonna I'm gonna educate everyone on
Love is Blind. Apparently that's what we're doing tonight. So
you're signing an NDA. You can only disclose so much,
but if you're interested. There are two women from a
previous season who do a podcast now that give you
a little peak behind the peak, behind the curtain. That's,
(20:17):
you know, things that are within their right and they're
also yeah, yeah, I stay up to date on all
of this stuff, but you'd like there are things that
are leaked des and and people write articles about it
about how you know the time in the Pods, you're exhausted. Uh,
you're you're not allowed to have your phone. You're kind
(20:38):
of excommunicated from your friends and your family, you know
a lot of them. It's like you're not really supposed
to tell your friends and family what's going on specifically
because it all just has to be a big reveal.
They're forcing these people to get married at the end,
which is an absolutely insane strategy. It's like, okay, like
you you you fell in love in the Pods. I've
(20:59):
never been in situation, but let's just say, like, okay,
you found your soulmate. Okay, I'll give you that you
live with this person for two weeks and living with
somebody and having that special someone in your personal space
after falling in love with them over a two week
I think period or a month long period that is
(21:19):
extremely different. And then they say you have to decide
whether you want to marry them or break up with them.
And since most of these people are like in their
early twenties, it just seems like a weird facade and
they're only allowed to say so much, and they're they're
pointed in different directions. Basically, the point that I'm trying
(21:39):
to make is that they find a lot of horrible
people to run that show, because there have to be
horrible people to make it as good as it is.
That's exactly what the chiefs have done. They continuously draft
and employ criminals. They have somebody get arrested at least
every single year. There have been murders in our lifetime,
(22:03):
somewhat recently more than one that surround that franchise. So
not only are there horrible people in the building, but
I think it's also safe to say that those in
power have in fact, sold their souls for success. And
if that is not the Kansas City Chiefs and love
is Blind, then I don't know what is. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
I'm sort of sitting here thinking about now going on
Love is Blind based on how you explained its psychotic.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
No, because then you could talk about it on your
podcast on.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
My podcasts, drop all the deeps. Because also I got
it as an avid reality TV person myself. You talking
about how no phones excommunicated, like no sleep, that's the
reality TV show. You ask anyone bachelor, Love Island, Love
is Blind, they all say the same thing. You're not
getting any sleep, you can't talk to anyone. So I
(23:03):
was like, oh, yeah, that's that's fine. I have to
get married. Oh god, I have to meet someone. Oh no,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
I think you know they're looking for people who are
and I'm not sure of your age. I assume that
you're mid to late twentiesh okay, yeah, so they're looking
for people in your age, but they also want women,
mostly women, I guess, kind of men, but it's mostly
the women who are like they feel like they're out
of options. They're twenty one years old and they're like
(23:32):
this is the last chance to find love. This is it.
And if I don't find love at twenty one on
a fucking reality show, then I'm guess I'm just gonna
die alone a miserable cat lady, and someday they'll eat me.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
You never know with cats. I'm not a huge cat person.
I always think the worst of those. But also, the
thing is is no one's going on it for love anymore.
That's such a ten year ago thing. Like people are
going out to get famous, you know, the spade, We're
going on to get followers, let's go. I don't know
anyone going on just to find love, except well, like if.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
The love is blind casting directors are listening, does it
the last real remaining person out there?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Yeah, no social media, no one can find me. I'm
not She's.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Totally twenty one years old, just absolutely one twenty.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
I'm twenty. Sorry, I'm not yet twenty one.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
I forgot his lots we're talking about like people that
just want to be famous. Doesn't that also fit the
Chiefs perfectly? I mean, how many how many people act
like they're Chiefs? Fans act like they care about the
Chiefs Because of Taylor Swift, I'm not a Taylor Swift
fan or hater. I respect her talent. I respect the
(24:51):
fact that she's like the most famous artist in the world.
She works incredibly hard. My wife is kind of like,
you know, pulled me in that direction. I'm not to
put her music on, you know, when it's just me.
But again, it's all respect. The thing that made me
lose a lot of respect for her is dating Travis
Kelce because that, in turn, does is what led to
(25:13):
the Chiefs winning that Super Bowl. Because I will never
be convinced that this team, the Chiefs team that won
the Super Bowl and then the team last year that
went to the Super Bowl, was remotely good enough to
win the Super Bowl and then also go to the
Super Bowl. People wanted to chalk it up to dark
magic and they made a deal with the devil, and
(25:35):
Patrick Mahomes for all intents and purposes, is our satan.
So I get that, but you can't tell me that
all of this extra attention that was on the Kansas
City Chiefs because of Tate didn't maybe sway the officials
or sway the league to think we have to make
sure the Chiefs are good because all these Swifties that
(25:55):
have now decided their Chiefs fans and they want to
wear red and yellow. There were people going to Gaines
Deys because they thought Taylor Swift would be there and
they just wanted to like perhaps maybe run into her
even though she's in a private suite, or literally just
be in the same area as her. There was so
much income that got brought in because of Taylor Swift.
(26:18):
There is not a modicum of evidence that can be
presented to me that will convince me that there wasn't
collusion afoot, and the league did everything that they did
that they could to make sure that the Chiefs were
winning games.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
I agree wholeheartedly every single thing you said. Every single
word you said, I believe. But going to be interesting
because aren't they sat Travis Kelcey is this is going
to be his last year?
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Well, I mean that that would be fantastic if we
only have to, you know, put up with them. And
and I'm not in this camp. I want to clarify something.
I'm not in this camp. That gets my panties in
a bunch when the show Taylor Swift, I don't care.
People want to pretend like they're gonna tune out from
football games.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
It's like, Oh, I don't want to see Taylor Swift.
I just want to see some football. It's like she's
the most famous artist on the planet. The NFL is
all about money. They would be stupid not to capitalize it.
As stupid as the person saying they're gonna.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Stop watching football because sometimes they show Taylor Swift. I'm
not that being said. I will be glad not to
have to see her anymore. Not because I dislike Taylor Swift,
but because I dislike Travis Kelcey, Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid.
Even though I low key love Andy Reid. He's just
in a dire situation with the dog shit team that
(27:42):
I hate. The hate is directed at the Chiefs. Those
are my qualms. So it's just a shame that they've
gotten as much attention. Like we don't see fucking Patrick
Mahomes's face enough, and now we have to see him
and his stupid wife with their big fake boobs over
Like if we could just get a camera angle of
neck down, that would be great, so I don't have
(28:05):
to look at her dumb face.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Jesus Christ Mario God. I feel like the woman on
this show being like, all right, let's not all right,
let's not talk about this.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
But I agree he has a dumb face, that's.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
All, okay, dumb face, I agree, dumb faces all around.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Totally has nothing to do with the gigantic boob job
that she got, nothing to do with that, and everything
to do with their dumb face.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Mario against boob jobs, yeah, jobs, Okay, against boob jobs,
that's something else.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
I didn't know that the show would take us here so.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Well, I think we both did.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
I think actually it's pretty fair. Yeah, why else? Why
else are the Chiefs and their fans dummies? Deads listen?
Speaker 2 (29:00):
And I think as soon as Taylor Swift is out,
they are gonna lose a lot of fans. And I
did say on my podcast, I don't you sort of
said it. I don't care. I don't care that more
people started liking the Chiefs because of Taylor Swift. But
I think it's dumb because everyone's like, the Chiefs are
at the top, They're gonna stay at the top. No, no, no, no,
My friends, you had a good couple of years, and
(29:22):
it's very clearly it's starting to deteriorate. And I think
a lot of Chiefs fans still think, you know what, No,
it was an off year whatever, But at some point,
the waters, the tides, they're changing, and I'm pretty sure
changing right now. So I think it's silly to think
and dumb to think that Mahomes is going to stay
(29:43):
at the top or the Chiefs as a whole. I
think that's dumb. Also're the most annoying people. I swear
to God, every time I post a video, there's always
a cheese fan that is like, why are you posting
old Chiefs, And I'm like, You're no one invited you.
You can't sit with us, It can't stay with us,
Go back to your Chiefs kingdom. They're the most annoying
(30:03):
for sure fan base.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
And I'm glad that you brought that up, because they
are undisputably the most insecure fan base maybe of all time.
It's like you have been obnoxiously good after being hilariously
bad for a really long time. You were like constant
(30:26):
selling dwellers in this division. You were always looking up
at John Elway and Jake Plumber and then Peyton Manning
and then you sniff a modicum of success and it's
like and you're absolutely right, Like I could tweet about something,
you know, during the Broncos Chiefs game, and I'm tweeting
something pro Broncos as a Broncos fan and as a
(30:48):
a you know, observer and lover of the team, and
without fail, without fail, of the time during these situations,
Chiefs fans are in my mentions. I could say something like, Wow,
what a throw from Bownicks, and it immediately goes oh,
bo Nicks is nothing like Patrick Mahomes. He could on
(31:09):
the table right in front of me and I would
stick it right in my mouth because that's how I
feel about Patrick Mahomes. I'm like, well, it sounds like
you have some shit that you need to work through.
Like I'm not homophobic, but it kind of sounds like
you are a little bit without fail. So it's just like,
you've had all of this success, you found this incredible
(31:30):
quarterback with the world's most annoying family, You've won a
bunch of Super Bowls, You've been to even more Super
Bowls than you've won. Why are you in my mentions
when I'm talking about my team? Where Like, where does
this insecurity come from? Because I could confidently say if
the Broncos were in the Chiefs position. I am not
going out of my way to look into what Chiefs
(31:53):
fans are saying about their own team. You know why,
because I'm secure in my fandom and in my face,
and even during these dark this last dark decade, I
still didn't do that because I'm like, you know what,
at some point it's gonna change, because the NFL is cyclical.
Unless you're the Cleveland Browns, then you're kind of just
shit out of luck every year, no matter what.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
God, that's so true. That is so true. I think
without a doubt it's about that time. And I just
hope the Broncos fans we never get to that place
of insecurity that we literally have to reach out and
tell other people, why are you talking about your team?
Talk about ours? And that's quite literally insanity, I don't know,
(32:40):
probably insanity.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
So let to talk about the most talked about team
in the last decade because of Taylor Swift and oh,
don't you dare say anything about the officials, even though
three of them that officiated Kansas City Chiefs games were
demoted to the college and no one really wanted to
talk about that. Weirdly, and it was done very quietly,
but We're just going to pretend that it didn't happen.
(33:03):
It's fake news. When you don't like news, you just
say that it's fake news.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Those are the rules, correct, And it's just very interesting
that AI measuring is coming out this year, just saying that's.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Very very convenient, especially considering what happened in last year's
playoff game with them against Buffalo. But I digress now
I would be remiss des You know, we're talking about
how dumb the rest of the AFC West is, and
it is. It's a really dumb division outside of the
Denver Broncos. The point of this podcast overall was to
discuss why the Denver Broncos have a real chance to
(33:41):
finally win this division again for the first time since
twenty fifteen in the good old Peyton Manning days. So
I want to hear your take. We've already discussed why
every other team is dumb and why nobody should like them.
Why don't you now talk about why the Broncos are
great and why everybody should love them.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Why are the Broncos great? Let me tell you, because
we were born from greatness. We have three Super Bowl wins,
we have a whole generation in the ninety seven, ninety
eight that knew it. I was too young then, but
then I saw it in twenty fifteen and it reinvigorated
my passion for this team. Broncos fans, we've sold out
(34:27):
Mile High Stadium every single time, the longest sellout streak
in the entire NFL. Find me another stadium, the highest
NFL stadium. We wear orange and blue. We were with
the Broncos through fourteen quarterbacks. I think it was seven coaches.
Oh god, just Russell Wilson. I don't have to say
(34:49):
anything else. Just Russell Wilson. We've been through it all.
And there are some people that I did a real
last year when I was like, oh my god, we
finally made it to the playoffs, and I had a
bunch of people in the comments being like, oh, poor you.
You just won a super Bowl in the past decade, YadA, YadA.
We are the team with the longest playoff drought besides
(35:13):
the Jets. That was the only other team that hadn't
made the playoffs in as long as that's all right,
so don't want to hear anything else. We've stuck with
the Broncos through thick and then I think we have
one of the most respectable organizations. You see everything happening
with the Cowboys, Mike A. Parsons, Jerry Jones, that is
a shit show. Okay, the Denver Broncos, all these contracts,
(35:37):
we're doing it behind closed doors. We're doing it in respect.
With George Peyton, with Sean Payton, they are respecting the players.
They are getting a done. They'll Walton Penner Group, They'll
put any money they want to into this organization to
make it better. They literally redid the field for one game.
I just I could keep going on, but those are
(35:57):
a few reasons why Broncos Country is quite true, really
the best fan base in the world.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Then did you say that you had a reality show
that you wanted to compare to the Broncos.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Yes? I did, Yes, I did. Okay, You're probably gonna
hate this, but I love it. So what has been
made stream recently? Will let me tell you Love Island?
That is what the Broncos are. Why Love Island? All right?
Year around for a long time. Okay, so the USA
(36:30):
version just popped off last year. All Right, it's been
around for I think this is the seventh season of USA,
but even before that, it was in it was like
USA or Love Island, Europe something England not here, not here?
So USA was like, you know what, we want to
do it. It's been around for a long time. The hugest
show in England is Love Island. Okay, so they had
(36:50):
a huge, solid season and then they're like, you know,
well we're gonna try something now. Wasn't good six years?
Seven years? Finally starts to pop off and then it's fun,
it's sexy, it's flirty. People watch Love Island. There are
sixty episodes of Lot, Love, Oh Wildkirds, Love Island. Literally
(37:12):
you are watching Monday through Saturday every night. That is commitment,
that is loyalty. You are seeing people have the time
of their lives, seeing people get their hearts broken, and
at the end you come out with a winner and
everyone says friends and that's as much comparison as they
can think of doing it. But Love Island, that is
(37:33):
who I think the diver Broncos are.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
I think that's absolutely perfect. And I think you have
motivated me to watch this show because maybe, just maybe
it's a reality show finally worth watching.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Well okay, sure, I mean in this case maybe, but
I could give you so many better options that won't
take up your entire life. There's a part where like,
once you're with Love Island, you sort of like come
out from under your rock and you're like, God, what's
going on in the world right now? Because you're so
locked in? It's so many episodes, So talking reality TV,
I have a couple others I can give you, But
(38:12):
for timper Brown, based.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
On lock, yeah, I think based on what's going on
in the world, I'd rather just stay under said rock
and uh just yeah, just only just only exist on
on on Love Island, yeah, and not have to face
the real world. It's too stressful.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Season six, Love Island, USA.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Watch it.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
That's the season.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Free a free advertision for Love Island, because clearly they
need it. Yeah, I feel like I was the only
person not watching this show. I like that comparison a lot,
because you're right, like that was it came here, and
like you said, it seemed like, you know, it's kind
of lying in the weeds for a little bit and
then it just out of nowhere popped off, Like it
(38:57):
sounded like the pure fans. The fans they saw they
saw the potential, they saw how great it could really be,
and they wrote it out and they stuck with it,
and now despite some downtime, some tumultuous times, all of
a sudden, this is now the show. And I think
(39:18):
that's exactly what the Denver Broncos are. So let me
ask you this, and we're now we're going to segue
into like some actual kind of football talk. We know
all about everything. I know. I'm sorry to be fair,
we did over half an hour of reality talk. That's
I think that's really good and you obviously will not
get that from any other podcasts. Like what I pride
(39:39):
myself on, what Pat and I really pride ourselves on
with this show, des is that we do things that
nobody else does, for better or worse. Sometimes it's great,
sometimes it's shit, but it is unique. And every time
people tune in, they know for a damn fact that
they are going to get takes and they are going
to hear something that they cannot hear on any other radio,
that they cannot here on any other podcast. No other
(40:02):
talent that's talking about the Broncos is doing this kind
of stuff, and I think that's exactly what we have done.
So we're talking up to Denver Broncos we're talking about
why they can be the best team in the AFC West,
potentially win this division. We know all about the moves
that they have made, signing Evan Egram, Tellano, Whufunga, dra Greenlaw.
(40:26):
They had what seemed to be a fantastic draft. John A.
Barron seems like he's getting better and better every single day. R. J.
Harvey is fun. Oh and they signed JK. Dobbins. Pat
Bryant looks like he's going to be a stud. Did
this team do enough? Though? And I had this conversation
with Pat last week. I had this conversation with Bremastis
a couple of weeks ago. Last year, it was kind
(40:49):
of one of those things where we all thought that
they were rebuilding, and they turn around and win ten
games and make the playoffs. They far exceeded all of
the expectations. Now that you did that with what was
agreeably a worse roster than what they have, now you
start trying to nitpick, because clearly the team that you
(41:09):
had last year good enough to be a playoff team,
because they were this team on paper tangibly is better.
So now you have to start thinking, not are they
good enough to make the playoffs. Are they good enough
to win their division? Are they good enough to win
a playoff game? Are they good enough to play in
the conference championship potentially even the Super Bowl? Have they
(41:32):
done enough in your eyes to get to that point
or do you think there's still about a year away.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
I'm want to give you my honest take, because I
don't like saying this out loud. For years, I've been
the delusional optimist, truly, and it's so ironic that this
is actually the first year that there is hope. And
I'm about to say this, but I still think we're
a year out. I really do. I think all the
(42:01):
pieces are there, And even Sean Payne is saying, he's like,
I think this is a super Bowl winning team. All
the pieces are there. I just think it's one more
year until we get there. And I'm not even saying,
oh we still five years, no, literally in the next
three I see it happening this year. Man. I want
to be proven wrong, like, prove me wrong. I think.
(42:22):
I just we've been through the wringer for a decade
and for so long, five years I said this is
my year. This is not my year. I don't plan
with the word this is our year. This is our year.
This our year, and I think that has uh, that's
my tragedy I'm hanging on to. So I got to
get past that. I mean, listen, we have a couple
of linebackers that are all getting injured and the season
(42:44):
hasn't even started, and that's like gives me a little anxiety.
I gotta be honest. So I think we are so
much closer than we ever thought we could be. How
last year we were supposed to go five and twelve,
we are so much closer. We're definitely making the playoffs,
super Bowl. We're not there yet. I still think they
(43:05):
are better teams out there.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
I really appreciate your honesty, and I know, being the
fan that you are, it is difficult for you to
admit that. But I agree like they did take a
big step in my one qualm. And I've brought this
up a lot, and I'm just gonna keep harping on
this until they prove that it's not a problem. My
biggest issue with last year and maybe my only issue,
(43:29):
because everything that you like, everything that you hope to
see out of the team last year is what you saw.
Bonix progressed. He proved that he's the guy. They won
double digit games, but they didn't have that signature win.
I mean, the best win that they had was what
against Tampa Bay in Week three was like one of
the only playoff teams that they beat. You can't get
(43:51):
swept by the Chargers. I know that they beat the Chiefs,
but they beat the Chiefs D team. You know, you
can't give them that kind of credit for that. So
what this team needs to do to prove that they've
really arrived, they have to win a game or two
or three that they're not supposed to win, that they're
(44:11):
not favored, and they go in on the road ideally
and they beat a playoff team. Because we looked back
last year, they got thumped by the Ravens in Baltimore.
They lost to Cincinnati and Cincinnati, and what could have
clinched the playoffs for them, it kept Cincinnati's playoff hopes
alive again got swept by the Chargers twice. They lost
(44:31):
that heartbreaker in Kansas City the first time around. They
won ten games, and that's all well and good, but
the ten games that they won, really you could make
the argument that they should have won and they were
expected to win except maybe Tampa Bay. So what I
need to see this year is for that team to
take the step and beat a team or two that
(44:53):
maybe you're not supposed to beat. You have Cincinnati early
in the season, historically they're not great early. You need
to find a way to win that game. You're going
to Philadelphia, who have the worst fans, Okay, completely hostile situation.
You have to find a way to maybe win that game,
or win the game in Washington, you know the Jade
(45:15):
and Daniels Bonnick showdown that everybody's going to be excited
to see. You have to beat the Chargers at least once.
You have to beat the Chiefs when they're at full
strength at least once. So they have ample opportunities this
year to prove that they have arrived and get past
the notion of the only win games that they are
(45:36):
supposed to win.
Speaker 2 (45:38):
Well, I also have to say, because a lot of
people love to harp on that we only beat teams
that were awful, awful period. And the thing is is
what we also have to look at is the Denver
Broncos we have now is actually way better than last year.
And yeah, we only be awful teams. Sorry, we have
(45:59):
that schedule. We've been awful for years, Like that's out
of our hands. Also, Cincy, we hung with them into overtime,
which we shouldn't have. Our rookie quarterback, bow Nicks went
heads ahead with what was in the talks for MVP
for quarterback. If they had more wins, Joe Burrow would
have won that. I mean, you could say, but yes,
(46:20):
so good, so great in quarterback. Loved that show Reality
there you go.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
Oh, that is the kind of reality shit I can
get down on for sure. I want to hang out
with Joe Burrow so bad. And how much cooler is
he than Patrick Mahomes? My god, who would want to
be friends with Mahomes when you could be friends with
Joe Burrow?
Speaker 2 (46:38):
Joe Burrow, he does seem a little Dolor'd.
Speaker 1 (46:40):
Be like saying that like that, like you would rather
be friends with Benjamin Albright than Ryan Edwards. That's not true.
Everyone would one hundred percent prefer to be friends with
Ryan Edwards over Benjamin Albright.
Speaker 2 (46:53):
Yes, and because I see Ryan is here, I agree
with that Ryan wholeheartedly. Whatever, that's what I agree with. Okay, Yes,
he's still here, So I do think. Yes, we beat
teams that we shouldn't have. But this year we have
better players. We have a rookie quarterback who is now
(47:14):
in his second year. We now have all the pieces
and we've maintained all the same players. Like we're in
one of the top I think they said we're one
of the teams that had the least amount of turnover.
We just didn't have a lot of players leave, which
is a really good sign. When you have a lot
of young players growing around each other, you want to
keep it the same. This is the same system. Bownicks
(47:36):
has always had a new system every single year since
I think high school. Now he's in the same system,
same coaches for two years in a row. Let's see
what he can do. And I mean, listen, if you
can beat I mean, fuck yeah, if you can beat
the Eagles, you're showing it. But I mean, we were
a field goal away from beating the Chiefs. It's not
that big of a deal that we then didn't we
(47:57):
beat their sea team. We almost beat their A team,
and like chick mamlons ran on the field like you
just won the Super Bowl after they won, like it's okay,
Like we went head to head with you in Kansas City.
You know, so I think we're way closer than people
are giving us credit for.
Speaker 1 (48:13):
Yeah, I absolutely agree. Anything else before we get you
out of here? Does any final thoughts? Uh? What else
you got for.
Speaker 2 (48:22):
Us as I got for you?
Speaker 1 (48:25):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (48:26):
I think we cover? I mean super stoked. We talked
briefly about or we mentioned in texting just the extension.
Super stoked for that with Courtland's sign and Zach Allen.
Speaker 1 (48:36):
Love that next.
Speaker 2 (48:39):
Absolutely, Champagne said it. Champagne doesn't lie, Mario, What are
you talking about everything? He says, I believe every single thing,
and I.
Speaker 1 (48:48):
Believe the one thing I did want to ask you
about that that you had mentioned you talked about like
there wasn't a lot of turnover and not a lot
of players that they lost. But does one player that
they did lose, Oh, that I know was extremely near
and dear to your heart, was your before anyone else,
Bay Javonte Williams. And I call him Javonte in your
(49:12):
presence because as a current cowboy he can no longer
be javan So first of all, how are you holding
up with that? And additional question to that, do you
plan on replacing him?
Speaker 2 (49:28):
Like?
Speaker 1 (49:28):
Will it be one of these situations where you know
he's always near and dear to your heart, but you
need to you need to move on and find love again.
Or is it one of these situations where you're going
to be like Ben and start to push people away
because you are now afraid of love.
Speaker 2 (49:44):
I'm afraid of love. I have felt pretty afraid of
love this offseason. I've seen players and I've said I
want to be a fan of you, and I said, no,
you're gonna hurt me. But I think it's about time
that I find a new player, because I think everyone's
so tired of be talking about Javonte Williams, especially because
everyone's like he wasn't good and it's like, I know,
(50:06):
but I hang on to players for dear life, Von Miller,
Justin Simmons, Davonte, but Javonte was number one. But yeah,
it's about time. I am looking for my new love.
So we're in the process of that before the season starts.
Speaker 1 (50:19):
Well, then I'm gonna put you on the spot a
little bit. I'm not gonna say that you have to
decide right now, okay, because that's a lot of pressure
on a live show in front of hundreds of people.
But can you give us maybe like a top three
or even a top five of guys that you are considering.
David talks Broncos and might I suggest Jeremy Crawbatty Raw Baddy.
(50:43):
You know it's crazy Tywall. Yeah, I think maybe Marvin
Marvin Mims. Now let them ask you this. Do you
have to have a name where you can fit Bay
in there or make like kind of like a you know,
like one of those little sweet hard qut se names.
Speaker 2 (51:00):
Oh, we can think of all the cute names. It
doesn't have to be Bae like I know a lot
of people were trying Jabe around or our Bay Harvey
doesn't have to fit Bay in it, So we can
think of other cute names.
Speaker 1 (51:12):
But it's true, but I think you have You have
two finalists right here are Bay Harvey and Jabbee job
by Barry, job job by Baron.
Speaker 2 (51:23):
It's hard to say. Are two finalists huge fans.
Speaker 1 (51:29):
But I also interest you in uh In Big Nuts LUTs,
maybe the best kicker in all the leads.
Speaker 2 (51:35):
We all need a kicker. We'd be nothing without a kicker,
so they can't.
Speaker 1 (51:40):
You're going to be the first person to openly love
a kicker without being put in an awkward situation like
what Justin Well, probably shouldn't get into that.
Speaker 2 (51:50):
Nevermind, Oh my god, no, yeah, we already talked about
butt stuff today. Marrow, please no more.
Speaker 1 (51:56):
But Justin Tucker, what the fuck can do it?
Speaker 2 (52:00):
I can't do it anymore. So we will say slowly
but your early week by week, I will be at
camp next week, might see you, and well, we have
to figure something out. I think.
Speaker 1 (52:13):
No, it's fine because it's well established that anytime you
come to Colorado, you don't tell me, and I have
to reach out to you and bother you, and so
it's fine. I have very little expectations, just like my
expectations for Javonte Williams this year are zero.
Speaker 2 (52:32):
I can't say the huh. He's gonna be fine. He's
not gonna do great when he plays us, because I
don't want that. I love the Broncos first and foremost.
But he's gonna do great at the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (52:44):
Well, if you're gonna transition to our Bay Harvey or
Big Nuts LUTs, you're you're gonna have to let go
completely of Javante Williams or you'll never really be able
to love purely.
Speaker 2 (52:58):
You're so right, dude, Oh my god, you're so right.
So I think this is this is my love is
blind experiment right now for the next few weeks.
Speaker 1 (53:06):
Locking my, you have the benefit, but you have the
benefit of, like, of seeing these guys. Right. So it's
not love is blind, It's it's maybe love is alive.
Love is Broncos.
Speaker 2 (53:19):
Love is Broncos. You heard it.
Speaker 1 (53:22):
Here is Broncos. Yes, yes, in order to feel the
love from your show, where can they where can they
watch it? Where's it available? What platforms before we get
you out of here?
Speaker 2 (53:34):
Yes, Broncos for dummies. It's on Instagram and TikTok and
then Sportsball my new pod sports Ball with a Z.
You can find it on Broncos for dummies ball. So
if you search sports Ball literally everywhere Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Spotify, Apple,
I'll be.
Speaker 1 (53:50):
Above And I know you can't see the comments, but
literally everybody is clamoring, uh for a des Mario content
video for TikTok and the Instagram just.
Speaker 2 (54:03):
Saying dude, okay, fine, we.
Speaker 1 (54:06):
See each other because there are literally so many and
I don't want anyone to feel left out for me
not posting it. But I assure you that's what the
people are clamoring for.
Speaker 2 (54:16):
Okay, so you're saying no one said that.
Speaker 1 (54:19):
I'm saying there's so many people that are saying it.
Like literally everyone in the chat is reiterating that there
has to be a crossover. Yeah, crossover content here. Yeah.
My name is Mariovid Sansy. That is Dez for Broncos
for dummies. Thank you so much for joining me. Dez.
(54:41):
I had an absolute blast. I hope that you enjoyed
how off the rails that it got, but you rolled
with the punches. You did a fantastic job. I love
your content. And my favorite part is like, my mom
will send me your stuff sometimes because she gets on
the Instagram and you'll be like, who is this? I
(55:02):
just I love her. She is so funny, she is
so good, Like do you know, I'm like, I wish mom. No,
she's she's because she lives out in Hollywood Land. She's
far too big of a star for me, and she goes, well, honey,
I would love to meet her, and I'm like I
would too, that would be the thrill of a lifetime meeting.
Speaker 2 (55:26):
First. Actually, you know, I don't want to see you
when I come into town. I want to see your mom.
Speaker 1 (55:32):
Well I knew it was true, but it's something is uh.
It feels actually kind of better for you to just
admit it outright. Mariovin Sansy. That is des from Broncos
for dummies. This is altitude adjustment and Pat will be
back with me next week. Goodbye, everybody, we love you. Goodbye, switch.
Speaker 2 (56:00):
The rosetions, I hit up, I hit the stage.
Speaker 1 (56:03):
I leave with money.
Speaker 2 (56:04):
That's a stick up.
Lt B stands for Let's Talk Broncos, but b f
D stands for Broncos for Dummies and Big fucking Deal,
which is what it is to have Dez from Broncos
for Dummies on Altitude Adjustment.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Info Switch. I hit hit the rose to that hiccup.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I hit the stage with money. That's a stick up.
I could hear some like weird background music before I
hit the intro, so I apologize for that. Uh technical difficulties,
but technically it wasn't that difficult. Dez from Let's Talk Broncos.
What's up?
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Dez? Thanks for joining me, dude, Mario, I had to
scurry off and find my own sunglasses to join you.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
My dude, you wear hater blockers on this We wear
hater blockers on this show. Okay, the show has a
prominent amount of haters, uh, and so we block them
because a lot of people can't really handle uh. The
insane fire takes that Pat and I routinely drop on
the show. And before we get to the insanely hot
(01:18):
fire takes, why don't you tell us about your new podcast?
Everything you got going on? Fill us in what are
you up to?
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Oh my god, Hi guys, For those who don't know me,
my name is Dez. I run a fan account called
Broncos for Dummies, quick little elevator pitch. I started years
ago because I wanted the dumbed down version on what's
going on in Broncos country, and so I made it.
So that's what I do. I'm a fan first ninety
two percent sports journalists, and I say that so fucking loosely,
(01:48):
all right, Broncost for Dummies is where I started. And
then I just started up my own podcast, just talking
more just like you, Mario with my friend and it's
called sports Ball and uh, we're we have episodes every Tuesday.
We talk all things NFL. Because unfortunately he is a
Dolphins fan.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
So and you're trying to work him to like to
like rooting for a good team, right.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I mean like anything like out of all teams, Dolphins really,
but yeah, trying to convert him ever so slowly. I
think he will never convert, but I I'll still try.
I'll still try.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
You're you're you're fighting the good fight, and that's what
we appreciate about you. So because you do a show
called Broncos for Dummies, I thought it would be apropos
das if we talked about why all the other teams
in the AFC West were in fact dummies. Now for
Dens show, you know, dummy is an endearing term, right,
(02:48):
But the way that we're going to talk about the
rest of the AFC West, it's not going to be endearing.
It's gonna be undearing. I think that's the opposite of endearing.
So why don't we start with why don't we start
with a softball? Okay, the Las Vegas Raiders who have
been the Los Angeles Raiders the Oakland Raiders. I think
they were actually Los Angeles two different times. Uh, and
(03:11):
both times not enough people in Los Angeles even cared
enough about the Raiders to keep them there. Not enough
people in Oakland cared about them. And really this is
a trend because nobody in Las Vegas really cares about
the Raiders. Suffice it to say, does I don't think
anybody noteworthy actually cares about the Raiders. To me, that's
(03:32):
what makes them dummies.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I could not agree more. And you think about, like,
if you were to ever torture someone, right, let's like
put those torture hats on and we said, hey, I'm
going to play one noise and one noise only. And
this is going to be the worst thing you've ever
heard in your life. It's the Raiders chant, all right.
I literally least thinks it. It does. It's the most
(03:57):
annoying thing. Think of something better. So that's why I
think their dummies, all right, is I'll torture my tortures
with the Raiders chance. But yeah, it's it's quite sad.
We were at the Vegas game. Actually a year in
a few months ago, was it this, Janiel?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Those those were the Russell Wilson days? Uh about those days?
In fact, in fact, this time next year, does it'll
be like Russell Wilson is a distant memory because his
contract will be completely off the board, off the books,
and we no longer have to suffer the guys of
Russell Wilson. And it feels so good.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
You're so right. I mean, I.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Believe we were in Vegas. We were in Vegas or
like around that time. If there was something going on,
I'm not I'm not entirely sure, but I did see
you there.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
And fantastic, it was fantastic. And I saw a couple
of Raiders fans here and there, and they just don't care.
That's the thing. They like do a lot, but they don't.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
The Raiders fans in Vegas like not the ones that
drive from California, and there aren't that many because most
Raider fans, of course, are locked up and you know
they can't they can't make parole or whatever the term is.
I've never been arrested, so I can't really speak on
personal experience, but the fans in Las Vegas, they kind
(05:22):
of just go because it's there. Like the Las Vegas Knights.
I think that's different because that's their own team. Like
the Raiders franchise decided to move to Las Vegas and
they were like, hey, the Raiders are here. We're a
Las Vegas team, and everybody that lived in Vegas was like,
you're no, we don't care about you. The Vegas Knights
(05:44):
are our team because they originated here. It's like five
different homes over the course of your tenure as a team,
nobody wants you.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Like.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I feel like it's inevitable dead at this point that
the Raiders are gonna end up in Saint Louis because
that city is starved for a football team and it's
just gonna be hilarious because then Rams fans heads are
gonna explode.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Truly, honestly, the only good thing about The Raider is
going to Vegas is that now there's a Vegas trip
that sproncles fans can go on once a year. Truly,
about so.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
As long as we're talking about dummies, and another exercise
that I wanted to extend to you during this video
or during this podcast, I wanted to compare all of
the teams in the a f C West to certain
reality shows. And I wanted to do this because reality shows,
by and larger smut. Right, They're dumb. It's dumb content
(06:38):
that that some people are. Listen. I understand the inherent
value of reality shows, but it's dumb.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Bro, I listen. We can be enemies for this segment.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
That's fine, all right. I love to start us off.
I'm gonna tell you The Raider to me, okay, remind
me of Jersey Shore. Just nothing but trash. All of
everyone in the Raiders, the players, the organization, the front office, trashy,
(07:13):
just like Jersey Shore. Or if we wanted to even
take it a step further, Dez, I don't watch this show.
I don't really watch any of these shows, but I'm
familiar enough with them. The Raiders are also kind of
like Hoarders, where they're a franchise that just kind of
like gathers trash and they've just held on to this
trash for decades. And then like their their friends, their family,
(07:38):
their loved ones, they've tried to intervene and say, get
rid of some of this trash, and the Raiders are
just like, nah, we're full of trash, just like the
Jersey Shore, just like getting arrested and all everyone.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
And you know what, the Jersey Shore used to be great.
The actual physical place of the Jersey Shore. There are
people that say, yo, the Jersey Shore, it's a great place.
But it was great, I don't know, thirty forty fifty
years ago, just like the last time you won a
Super Bowl, all right, so yeah, one, you know you
(08:14):
were great back then. It's been a long time, my man.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
And as long as we're talking about like trash, I
wanted to get your opinion on this whole Christian Wilkins situation.
And if you're listening and you're in the chat, if
you have his contract numbers, please let me know. So
the Raiders signed Christian Wilkins last year to an insane contract. Right.
It was a big deal for them at the time.
They're trying to shore of their defensive line, pair them
(08:40):
with Max Crosby. On paper, it seemed great. He has
since been released and we have no idea why. But
I think one of our one of the listeners, might
have an insight into it. So he said, you know,
playing to the LTB, let's talk, but let's talk but
the patient nineteen ninety one, because if I had to guess,
(09:03):
I would say, there's probably some butt stuff happening with
Christian Wilkins. And that's why you don't hear any information
about why he was released, and everybody was real hush
hush about it, just not released. Am I wrong? If
I'm wrong, tell me you are.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
You're wrong in the sense that you don't know one
thousand percent.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Okay, there was little inklings and droplets that there could
have been something along those lines, but we just don't
know for sure because what first came out was that
he was not showing up to practice.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
He wouldn't get the surgery that all these doctors wanted.
That was the first part of this story, right.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
That's what we sa sounding like butt stuff to me.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Okay, that's the butt stuff that you think. That's the
butt stuff, not the hymn kissing a player on the forehead.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Allegedly.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Yoh, you see, I think that happened. But I mean,
we can't go from fucking zero to eighty and too.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
So say he points out four dead four years one
and ten million dollars fifty seven point five guaranteed at
signing twenty nine point seven seven five million deb cap charge.
If there is something trashier than that, not seen.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
It, Unrell, and it's it's so my host sportsball Dolphins fan.
He was a Dolphins player. Everyone loves him in Miami.
I mean there's he's a good player. So the fact
that this is happening, a lot of Dolphins fans are like, wait,
bring them back, bring them back. But then new stores
keeps getting dropped and it keeps coming out, and you
(10:52):
just don't know what way it's gonna go next. But
the fact that they're willing to eat bee all of
that dead cap something bad had to have happened.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
They're eating a lot of ass, that's for sure. Cody said,
we all knew watch his pet, watch his Clemson clips.
I'm telling you there's something to it. If you haven't
seen it, Dez, or if you're watching this and you
don't know what is talking about. There was but stuff amiss. Okay,
it was happening, So we're it's let's talk. But thanks
(11:21):
a lot. Christian Wilkins, Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Oh my god, all right? Are we passed? Less? Talk
talking Bunny?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Is there anything else you want to say about why
the Raiders are dummies?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I think I hit that. Also, they just don't have
a home base, like they talked their talk, but it's
like you don't, you don't have any you have loyalty. Actually,
you know what if if you were in Oakland, a
person in Oakland, you got loyalty. But other than that,
you're all over the place. No one knows where you are.
It's just I don't think about you much.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
But is it is it even like is it even
loyalty though from Oakland? Because like, and correct me if
I'm wrong. I think they started in Oakland, moved to
LA moved back to Oakland, no one seemed to notice,
and then they went to Vegas. Correct, So do people
in Oakland even really care that much? I mean, does
(12:20):
when you used to watch the games. Anytime the Broncos
would play the Raiders, and they of course shared the
baseball stadium, the upper tarp was always blocked off like
that upper section, and I don't know if they did
that to convince themselves that they were selling out games,
because like the lower Bowl was full, but there was
a whole big ass Raiders tarp on the top because
(12:41):
no one was buying those seats. Like what the Colorado
Rockies did with the party deck, right, except they never
transitioned it into something else. It was just an area
and nobody.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Went to correct correct But it's the best part of
stadium now.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
It is, And that was the mistake the Raiders made.
They didn't they didn't turn it into a party deck.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
They did not, So another reason the fans don't care,
no dumb.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
So I think we've said enough about the Raiders. We
can certainly circle back and talk more shit about them,
because there's few things that I enjoy more. Let's let's
transition to the San Diego speaking of a team that
can't find a location, right, And it is kind of
funny that ultimately Los Angeles replaced the Raiders with the Chargers.
(13:31):
But you want to talk about fans that don't care.
Like you said, at least Raider fans are loyal, and
I don't give that to them, like they're loyal to
a fault. But the Chargers don't even have fans really.
I mean, they played at Qualcom for all those years
in San Diego, and then when so Far was being built,
they were playing at like some I think it was
(13:53):
a soccer stadium actually, and I went there. Terrible vantage
points all around, but they were the only people that
were like, oh, yeah, we don't have anything else going on,
because we're a soccer stadium, we'll probably get equal capacity
for Chargers games. And now they're in Los Angeles, where
again nobody seems to care. So the reality show that
I'd like to compare to the Chargers is The Bachelor. Okay,
(14:17):
there's always so much publicity around The Bachelor. You see
advertisements for it about why this season of The Bachelor
is so good, why it's so much better than past
Bachelor seasons, why you know it's the best reality dating
show out there, and then when it's all said and done,
it lets you down at the very end, when push
(14:38):
comes to shove and somebody has to make a commitment.
It never gets done. So despite all the pomp and
circumstance and being told that this is such a good
show at the end of this season, it always falls
flat and fails. If that's not the Los Angeles San
Diego soccer team argers, I don't know what is.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Well, I don't know what is. And also you're always
fighting for that single rose, a single rows at the end,
and guess what, most of the time you don't get it.
Most of the time you don't get that Lombardi trophy.
You know, it's just hand in hand. It makes sense
well in.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Fact, not just usually, but never never, ever, ever, have
ever ever get the one. They've never gotten the rose.
Just the sparse amount of Charger fans that are out
there what makes them dummies? Des Honestly, So.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I live in LA so I'm around that. Do I
say fans? No? Because I knew two Chargers fans before
they moved to Los Angeles from San Diego to Los Angeles,
and I was there when they decided to move, and
so I asked those fans, I said, oh my god,
are you I did? What do you think? Mind you?
They live in LA Both of them separately said no,
(16:06):
we're not going to be fancy more since they're moving. Dumb.
That's dumb to me. Dumb. If you're a real dumb,
you stick with them, especially if they're coming to your
where you live. Dumb. Also number two reason they're dumb.
When you go to Sofi Stadium, typically it's a second
home game for the Broncos. At least what I go
to second home game for the Broncos mad vibes, You
(16:28):
definitely gotta go. Most of the time. It is La
influencers there that the Chargers had invited out given Chargers
jerseys too, and they should wear and watch a football game.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, but you'll
let go. And you see, oh there's Chargers fans here. No, no, no, no,
quite the contrary, the Chargers are giving them jerseys to
(16:51):
where so yet again why yeah, those fans not true fans.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
So they literally have to pay four fans pretend to
care about their bachelor ass football team.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
You remember that Oh my god, the woman that shook
the internet. The she was like, oh my god, are
they gonna win or are they gonna win? That short
little woman and everyone was like, is she a plant
or is she an act? And some of it came
out that she does have season tickets, some of it
came out that she is an actor. I actually really
don't know the truth. To be fair, we're.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Going to be perfectly honest. When I saw her, like
the way that she emoted made me really uncomfortable. So
I'm just gonna chalk that up to the fact that
she was clearly AI.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
AI. Yeah, orget yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Don't think that she's a real person. I think that's
that's artificial intelligence. And speaking of that, wasn't there at
some point, I want to say, the last season or
the season before where they were promoting a movie where
it was like literally artificial intelligence. So there was like
there was like robots, and they were at a Chargers
game as they were promoting this movie of like artificial intelligence.
(18:07):
So they literally had to manufacture fans to attend a
Chargers game as a Chargers I don't even want to
say fan. Let's just call them a mild enthusiast.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Okay, holy go, I've forgot about that. Oh my god,
you're so right up, like, oh God, feel bad for them. Honestly,
it's actually like Raiders fans don't feel bad for Chargers fans. God,
feel bad for you guys. You guys don't have an identity,
like you keep losing fans left and right. You have
(18:40):
to pay people to like you. I don't want to
be that.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Yeah, that sounds horrible. Now, a fan base that will
get no sympathy uh from us. Statistically, according to a
study that I made up, one of the most unintelligent,
uninformed fan bases is the Kansas City Chiefs. And to me,
I think the Kansas City Chiefs really remind me of
(19:07):
Love is Blind. You know, there is. It's kind of
it's kind of become the king of reality TV showing
like reality dating shows of late and everything seems fine
at face value, right, Like if you're just a casual observer,
you're like, Okay, I see the value in this. You
(19:28):
know it's it's successful. But if you start to dig
a little bit deep and you start to listen to
the things that are going on behind closed doors during
Love is Blind, the abhorrent living situations and the things
that they're putting these contestants through. Again when the cameras
(19:48):
are off behind closed doors, it is deplorable to me.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Wait, I don't know this, what is happening, like.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Apparently there have been, like they so they have to
sign the NDA. I'm gonna I'm gonna educate everyone on
Love is Blind. Apparently that's what we're doing tonight. So
you're signing an NDA. You can only disclose so much,
but if you're interested. There are two women from a
previous season who do a podcast now that give you
a little peak behind the peak, behind the curtain. That's,
(20:17):
you know, things that are within their right and they're
also yeah, yeah, I stay up to date on all
of this stuff, but you'd like there are things that
are leaked des and and people write articles about it
about how you know the time in the Pods, you're exhausted. Uh,
you're you're not allowed to have your phone. You're kind
(20:38):
of excommunicated from your friends and your family, you know
a lot of them. It's like you're not really supposed
to tell your friends and family what's going on specifically
because it all just has to be a big reveal.
They're forcing these people to get married at the end,
which is an absolutely insane strategy. It's like, okay, like
you you you fell in love in the Pods. I've
(20:59):
never been in situation, but let's just say, like, okay,
you found your soulmate. Okay, I'll give you that you
live with this person for two weeks and living with
somebody and having that special someone in your personal space
after falling in love with them over a two week
I think period or a month long period that is
(21:19):
extremely different. And then they say you have to decide
whether you want to marry them or break up with them.
And since most of these people are like in their
early twenties, it just seems like a weird facade and
they're only allowed to say so much, and they're they're
pointed in different directions. Basically, the point that I'm trying
(21:39):
to make is that they find a lot of horrible
people to run that show, because there have to be
horrible people to make it as good as it is.
That's exactly what the chiefs have done. They continuously draft
and employ criminals. They have somebody get arrested at least
every single year. There have been murders in our lifetime,
(22:03):
somewhat recently more than one that surround that franchise. So
not only are there horrible people in the building, but
I think it's also safe to say that those in
power have in fact, sold their souls for success. And
if that is not the Kansas City Chiefs and love
is Blind, then I don't know what is. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
I'm sort of sitting here thinking about now going on
Love is Blind based on how you explained its psychotic.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
No, because then you could talk about it on your
podcast on.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
My podcasts, drop all the deeps. Because also I got
it as an avid reality TV person myself. You talking
about how no phones excommunicated, like no sleep, that's the
reality TV show. You ask anyone bachelor, Love Island, Love
is Blind, they all say the same thing. You're not
getting any sleep, you can't talk to anyone. So I
(23:03):
was like, oh, yeah, that's that's fine. I have to
get married. Oh god, I have to meet someone. Oh no,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
I think you know they're looking for people who are
and I'm not sure of your age. I assume that
you're mid to late twentiesh okay, yeah, so they're looking
for people in your age, but they also want women,
mostly women, I guess, kind of men, but it's mostly
the women who are like they feel like they're out
of options. They're twenty one years old and they're like
(23:32):
this is the last chance to find love. This is it.
And if I don't find love at twenty one on
a fucking reality show, then I'm guess I'm just gonna
die alone a miserable cat lady, and someday they'll eat me.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
You never know with cats. I'm not a huge cat person.
I always think the worst of those. But also, the
thing is is no one's going on it for love anymore.
That's such a ten year ago thing. Like people are
going out to get famous, you know, the spade, We're
going on to get followers, let's go. I don't know
anyone going on just to find love, except well, like if.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
The love is blind casting directors are listening, does it
the last real remaining person out there?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Yeah, no social media, no one can find me. I'm
not She's.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Totally twenty one years old, just absolutely one twenty.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
I'm twenty. Sorry, I'm not yet twenty one.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
I forgot his lots we're talking about like people that
just want to be famous. Doesn't that also fit the
Chiefs perfectly? I mean, how many how many people act
like they're Chiefs? Fans act like they care about the
Chiefs Because of Taylor Swift, I'm not a Taylor Swift
fan or hater. I respect her talent. I respect the
(24:51):
fact that she's like the most famous artist in the world.
She works incredibly hard. My wife is kind of like,
you know, pulled me in that direction. I'm not to
put her music on, you know, when it's just me.
But again, it's all respect. The thing that made me
lose a lot of respect for her is dating Travis
Kelce because that, in turn, does is what led to
(25:13):
the Chiefs winning that Super Bowl. Because I will never
be convinced that this team, the Chiefs team that won
the Super Bowl and then the team last year that
went to the Super Bowl, was remotely good enough to
win the Super Bowl and then also go to the
Super Bowl. People wanted to chalk it up to dark
magic and they made a deal with the devil, and
(25:35):
Patrick Mahomes for all intents and purposes, is our satan.
So I get that, but you can't tell me that
all of this extra attention that was on the Kansas
City Chiefs because of Tate didn't maybe sway the officials
or sway the league to think we have to make
sure the Chiefs are good because all these Swifties that
(25:55):
have now decided their Chiefs fans and they want to
wear red and yellow. There were people going to Gaines
Deys because they thought Taylor Swift would be there and
they just wanted to like perhaps maybe run into her
even though she's in a private suite, or literally just
be in the same area as her. There was so
much income that got brought in because of Taylor Swift.
(26:18):
There is not a modicum of evidence that can be
presented to me that will convince me that there wasn't
collusion afoot, and the league did everything that they did
that they could to make sure that the Chiefs were
winning games.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
I agree wholeheartedly every single thing you said. Every single
word you said, I believe. But going to be interesting
because aren't they sat Travis Kelcey is this is going
to be his last year?
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Well, I mean that that would be fantastic if we
only have to, you know, put up with them. And
and I'm not in this camp. I want to clarify something.
I'm not in this camp. That gets my panties in
a bunch when the show Taylor Swift, I don't care.
People want to pretend like they're gonna tune out from
football games.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
It's like, Oh, I don't want to see Taylor Swift.
I just want to see some football. It's like she's
the most famous artist on the planet. The NFL is
all about money. They would be stupid not to capitalize it.
As stupid as the person saying they're gonna.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Stop watching football because sometimes they show Taylor Swift. I'm
not that being said. I will be glad not to
have to see her anymore. Not because I dislike Taylor Swift,
but because I dislike Travis Kelcey, Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid.
Even though I low key love Andy Reid. He's just
in a dire situation with the dog shit team that
(27:42):
I hate. The hate is directed at the Chiefs. Those
are my qualms. So it's just a shame that they've
gotten as much attention. Like we don't see fucking Patrick
Mahomes's face enough, and now we have to see him
and his stupid wife with their big fake boobs over
Like if we could just get a camera angle of
neck down, that would be great, so I don't have
(28:05):
to look at her dumb face.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Jesus Christ Mario God. I feel like the woman on
this show being like, all right, let's not all right,
let's not talk about this.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
But I agree he has a dumb face, that's.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
All, okay, dumb face, I agree, dumb faces all around.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Totally has nothing to do with the gigantic boob job
that she got, nothing to do with that, and everything
to do with their dumb face.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Mario against boob jobs, yeah, jobs, Okay, against boob jobs,
that's something else.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
I didn't know that the show would take us here so.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Well, I think we both did.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
I think actually it's pretty fair. Yeah, why else? Why
else are the Chiefs and their fans dummies? Deads listen?
Speaker 2 (29:00):
And I think as soon as Taylor Swift is out,
they are gonna lose a lot of fans. And I
did say on my podcast, I don't you sort of
said it. I don't care. I don't care that more
people started liking the Chiefs because of Taylor Swift. But
I think it's dumb because everyone's like, the Chiefs are
at the top, They're gonna stay at the top. No, no, no, no,
My friends, you had a good couple of years, and
(29:22):
it's very clearly it's starting to deteriorate. And I think
a lot of Chiefs fans still think, you know what, No,
it was an off year whatever, But at some point,
the waters, the tides, they're changing, and I'm pretty sure
changing right now. So I think it's silly to think
and dumb to think that Mahomes is going to stay
(29:43):
at the top or the Chiefs as a whole. I
think that's dumb. Also're the most annoying people. I swear
to God, every time I post a video, there's always
a cheese fan that is like, why are you posting
old Chiefs, And I'm like, You're no one invited you.
You can't sit with us, It can't stay with us,
Go back to your Chiefs kingdom. They're the most annoying
(30:03):
for sure fan base.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
And I'm glad that you brought that up, because they
are undisputably the most insecure fan base maybe of all time.
It's like you have been obnoxiously good after being hilariously
bad for a really long time. You were like constant
(30:26):
selling dwellers in this division. You were always looking up
at John Elway and Jake Plumber and then Peyton Manning
and then you sniff a modicum of success and it's
like and you're absolutely right, Like I could tweet about something,
you know, during the Broncos Chiefs game, and I'm tweeting
something pro Broncos as a Broncos fan and as a
(30:48):
a you know, observer and lover of the team, and
without fail, without fail, of the time during these situations,
Chiefs fans are in my mentions. I could say something like, Wow,
what a throw from Bownicks, and it immediately goes oh,
bo Nicks is nothing like Patrick Mahomes. He could on
(31:09):
the table right in front of me and I would
stick it right in my mouth because that's how I
feel about Patrick Mahomes. I'm like, well, it sounds like
you have some shit that you need to work through.
Like I'm not homophobic, but it kind of sounds like
you are a little bit without fail. So it's just like,
you've had all of this success, you found this incredible
(31:30):
quarterback with the world's most annoying family, You've won a
bunch of Super Bowls, You've been to even more Super
Bowls than you've won. Why are you in my mentions
when I'm talking about my team? Where Like, where does
this insecurity come from? Because I could confidently say if
the Broncos were in the Chiefs position. I am not
going out of my way to look into what Chiefs
(31:53):
fans are saying about their own team. You know why,
because I'm secure in my fandom and in my face,
and even during these dark this last dark decade, I
still didn't do that because I'm like, you know what,
at some point it's gonna change, because the NFL is cyclical.
Unless you're the Cleveland Browns, then you're kind of just
shit out of luck every year, no matter what.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
God, that's so true. That is so true. I think
without a doubt it's about that time. And I just
hope the Broncos fans we never get to that place
of insecurity that we literally have to reach out and
tell other people, why are you talking about your team?
Talk about ours? And that's quite literally insanity, I don't know,
(32:40):
probably insanity.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
So let to talk about the most talked about team
in the last decade because of Taylor Swift and oh,
don't you dare say anything about the officials, even though
three of them that officiated Kansas City Chiefs games were
demoted to the college and no one really wanted to
talk about that. Weirdly, and it was done very quietly,
but We're just going to pretend that it didn't happen.
(33:03):
It's fake news. When you don't like news, you just
say that it's fake news.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Those are the rules, correct, And it's just very interesting
that AI measuring is coming out this year, just saying that's.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Very very convenient, especially considering what happened in last year's
playoff game with them against Buffalo. But I digress now
I would be remiss des You know, we're talking about
how dumb the rest of the AFC West is, and
it is. It's a really dumb division outside of the
Denver Broncos. The point of this podcast overall was to
discuss why the Denver Broncos have a real chance to
(33:41):
finally win this division again for the first time since
twenty fifteen in the good old Peyton Manning days. So
I want to hear your take. We've already discussed why
every other team is dumb and why nobody should like them.
Why don't you now talk about why the Broncos are
great and why everybody should love them.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Why are the Broncos great? Let me tell you, because
we were born from greatness. We have three Super Bowl wins,
we have a whole generation in the ninety seven, ninety
eight that knew it. I was too young then, but
then I saw it in twenty fifteen and it reinvigorated
my passion for this team. Broncos fans, we've sold out
(34:27):
Mile High Stadium every single time, the longest sellout streak
in the entire NFL. Find me another stadium, the highest
NFL stadium. We wear orange and blue. We were with
the Broncos through fourteen quarterbacks. I think it was seven coaches.
Oh god, just Russell Wilson. I don't have to say
(34:49):
anything else. Just Russell Wilson. We've been through it all.
And there are some people that I did a real
last year when I was like, oh my god, we
finally made it to the playoffs, and I had a
bunch of people in the comments being like, oh, poor you.
You just won a super Bowl in the past decade, YadA, YadA.
We are the team with the longest playoff drought besides
(35:13):
the Jets. That was the only other team that hadn't
made the playoffs in as long as that's all right,
so don't want to hear anything else. We've stuck with
the Broncos through thick and then I think we have
one of the most respectable organizations. You see everything happening
with the Cowboys, Mike A. Parsons, Jerry Jones, that is
a shit show. Okay, the Denver Broncos, all these contracts,
(35:37):
we're doing it behind closed doors. We're doing it in respect.
With George Peyton, with Sean Payton, they are respecting the players.
They are getting a done. They'll Walton Penner Group, They'll
put any money they want to into this organization to
make it better. They literally redid the field for one game.
I just I could keep going on, but those are
(35:57):
a few reasons why Broncos Country is quite true, really
the best fan base in the world.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Then did you say that you had a reality show
that you wanted to compare to the Broncos.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Yes? I did, Yes, I did. Okay, You're probably gonna
hate this, but I love it. So what has been
made stream recently? Will let me tell you Love Island?
That is what the Broncos are. Why Love Island? All right?
Year around for a long time. Okay, so the USA
(36:30):
version just popped off last year. All Right, it's been
around for I think this is the seventh season of USA,
but even before that, it was in it was like
USA or Love Island, Europe something England not here, not here?
So USA was like, you know what, we want to
do it. It's been around for a long time. The hugest
show in England is Love Island. Okay, so they had
(36:50):
a huge, solid season and then they're like, you know,
well we're gonna try something now. Wasn't good six years?
Seven years? Finally starts to pop off and then it's fun,
it's sexy, it's flirty. People watch Love Island. There are
sixty episodes of Lot, Love, Oh Wildkirds, Love Island. Literally
(37:12):
you are watching Monday through Saturday every night. That is commitment,
that is loyalty. You are seeing people have the time
of their lives, seeing people get their hearts broken, and
at the end you come out with a winner and
everyone says friends and that's as much comparison as they
can think of doing it. But Love Island, that is
(37:33):
who I think the diver Broncos are.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
I think that's absolutely perfect. And I think you have
motivated me to watch this show because maybe, just maybe
it's a reality show finally worth watching.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Well okay, sure, I mean in this case maybe, but
I could give you so many better options that won't
take up your entire life. There's a part where like,
once you're with Love Island, you sort of like come
out from under your rock and you're like, God, what's
going on in the world right now? Because you're so
locked in? It's so many episodes, So talking reality TV,
I have a couple others I can give you, But
(38:12):
for timper Brown, based.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
On lock, yeah, I think based on what's going on
in the world, I'd rather just stay under said rock
and uh just yeah, just only just only exist on
on on Love Island, yeah, and not have to face
the real world. It's too stressful.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Season six, Love Island, USA.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Watch it.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
That's the season.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Free a free advertision for Love Island, because clearly they
need it. Yeah, I feel like I was the only
person not watching this show. I like that comparison a lot,
because you're right, like that was it came here, and
like you said, it seemed like, you know, it's kind
of lying in the weeds for a little bit and
then it just out of nowhere popped off, Like it
(38:57):
sounded like the pure fans. The fans they saw they
saw the potential, they saw how great it could really be,
and they wrote it out and they stuck with it,
and now despite some downtime, some tumultuous times, all of
a sudden, this is now the show. And I think
(39:18):
that's exactly what the Denver Broncos are. So let me
ask you this, and we're now we're going to segue
into like some actual kind of football talk. We know
all about everything. I know. I'm sorry to be fair,
we did over half an hour of reality talk. That's
I think that's really good and you obviously will not
get that from any other podcasts. Like what I pride
(39:39):
myself on, what Pat and I really pride ourselves on
with this show, des is that we do things that
nobody else does, for better or worse. Sometimes it's great,
sometimes it's shit, but it is unique. And every time
people tune in, they know for a damn fact that
they are going to get takes and they are going
to hear something that they cannot hear on any other radio,
that they cannot here on any other podcast. No other
(40:02):
talent that's talking about the Broncos is doing this kind
of stuff, and I think that's exactly what we have done.
So we're talking up to Denver Broncos we're talking about
why they can be the best team in the AFC West,
potentially win this division. We know all about the moves
that they have made, signing Evan Egram, Tellano, Whufunga, dra Greenlaw.
(40:26):
They had what seemed to be a fantastic draft. John A.
Barron seems like he's getting better and better every single day. R. J.
Harvey is fun. Oh and they signed JK. Dobbins. Pat
Bryant looks like he's going to be a stud. Did
this team do enough? Though? And I had this conversation
with Pat last week. I had this conversation with Bremastis
a couple of weeks ago. Last year, it was kind
(40:49):
of one of those things where we all thought that
they were rebuilding, and they turn around and win ten
games and make the playoffs. They far exceeded all of
the expectations. Now that you did that with what was
agreeably a worse roster than what they have, now you
start trying to nitpick, because clearly the team that you
(41:09):
had last year good enough to be a playoff team,
because they were this team on paper tangibly is better.
So now you have to start thinking, not are they
good enough to make the playoffs. Are they good enough
to win their division? Are they good enough to win
a playoff game? Are they good enough to play in
the conference championship potentially even the Super Bowl? Have they
(41:32):
done enough in your eyes to get to that point
or do you think there's still about a year away.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
I'm want to give you my honest take, because I
don't like saying this out loud. For years, I've been
the delusional optimist, truly, and it's so ironic that this
is actually the first year that there is hope. And
I'm about to say this, but I still think we're
a year out. I really do. I think all the
(42:01):
pieces are there, And even Sean Payne is saying, he's like,
I think this is a super Bowl winning team. All
the pieces are there. I just think it's one more
year until we get there. And I'm not even saying,
oh we still five years, no, literally in the next
three I see it happening this year. Man. I want
to be proven wrong, like, prove me wrong. I think.
(42:22):
I just we've been through the wringer for a decade
and for so long, five years I said this is
my year. This is not my year. I don't plan
with the word this is our year. This is our year.
This our year, and I think that has uh, that's
my tragedy I'm hanging on to. So I got to
get past that. I mean, listen, we have a couple
of linebackers that are all getting injured and the season
(42:44):
hasn't even started, and that's like gives me a little anxiety.
I gotta be honest. So I think we are so
much closer than we ever thought we could be. How
last year we were supposed to go five and twelve,
we are so much closer. We're definitely making the playoffs,
super Bowl. We're not there yet. I still think they
(43:05):
are better teams out there.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
I really appreciate your honesty, and I know, being the
fan that you are, it is difficult for you to
admit that. But I agree like they did take a
big step in my one qualm. And I've brought this
up a lot, and I'm just gonna keep harping on
this until they prove that it's not a problem. My
biggest issue with last year and maybe my only issue,
(43:29):
because everything that you like, everything that you hope to
see out of the team last year is what you saw.
Bonix progressed. He proved that he's the guy. They won
double digit games, but they didn't have that signature win.
I mean, the best win that they had was what
against Tampa Bay in Week three was like one of
the only playoff teams that they beat. You can't get
(43:51):
swept by the Chargers. I know that they beat the Chiefs,
but they beat the Chiefs D team. You know, you
can't give them that kind of credit for that. So
what this team needs to do to prove that they've
really arrived, they have to win a game or two
or three that they're not supposed to win, that they're
(44:11):
not favored, and they go in on the road ideally
and they beat a playoff team. Because we looked back
last year, they got thumped by the Ravens in Baltimore.
They lost to Cincinnati and Cincinnati, and what could have
clinched the playoffs for them, it kept Cincinnati's playoff hopes
alive again got swept by the Chargers twice. They lost
(44:31):
that heartbreaker in Kansas City the first time around. They
won ten games, and that's all well and good, but
the ten games that they won, really you could make
the argument that they should have won and they were
expected to win except maybe Tampa Bay. So what I
need to see this year is for that team to
take the step and beat a team or two that
(44:53):
maybe you're not supposed to beat. You have Cincinnati early
in the season, historically they're not great early. You need
to find a way to win that game. You're going
to Philadelphia, who have the worst fans, Okay, completely hostile situation.
You have to find a way to maybe win that game,
or win the game in Washington, you know the Jade
(45:15):
and Daniels Bonnick showdown that everybody's going to be excited
to see. You have to beat the Chargers at least once.
You have to beat the Chiefs when they're at full
strength at least once. So they have ample opportunities this
year to prove that they have arrived and get past
the notion of the only win games that they are
(45:36):
supposed to win.
Speaker 2 (45:38):
Well, I also have to say, because a lot of
people love to harp on that we only beat teams
that were awful, awful period. And the thing is is
what we also have to look at is the Denver
Broncos we have now is actually way better than last year.
And yeah, we only be awful teams. Sorry, we have
(45:59):
that schedule. We've been awful for years, Like that's out
of our hands. Also, Cincy, we hung with them into overtime,
which we shouldn't have. Our rookie quarterback, bow Nicks went
heads ahead with what was in the talks for MVP
for quarterback. If they had more wins, Joe Burrow would
have won that. I mean, you could say, but yes,
(46:20):
so good, so great in quarterback. Loved that show Reality
there you go.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
Oh, that is the kind of reality shit I can
get down on for sure. I want to hang out
with Joe Burrow so bad. And how much cooler is
he than Patrick Mahomes? My god, who would want to
be friends with Mahomes when you could be friends with
Joe Burrow?
Speaker 2 (46:38):
Joe Burrow, he does seem a little Dolor'd.
Speaker 1 (46:40):
Be like saying that like that, like you would rather
be friends with Benjamin Albright than Ryan Edwards. That's not true.
Everyone would one hundred percent prefer to be friends with
Ryan Edwards over Benjamin Albright.
Speaker 2 (46:53):
Yes, and because I see Ryan is here, I agree
with that Ryan wholeheartedly. Whatever, that's what I agree with. Okay, Yes,
he's still here, So I do think. Yes, we beat
teams that we shouldn't have. But this year we have
better players. We have a rookie quarterback who is now
(47:14):
in his second year. We now have all the pieces
and we've maintained all the same players. Like we're in
one of the top I think they said we're one
of the teams that had the least amount of turnover.
We just didn't have a lot of players leave, which
is a really good sign. When you have a lot
of young players growing around each other, you want to
keep it the same. This is the same system. Bownicks
(47:36):
has always had a new system every single year since
I think high school. Now he's in the same system,
same coaches for two years in a row. Let's see
what he can do. And I mean, listen, if you
can beat I mean, fuck yeah, if you can beat
the Eagles, you're showing it. But I mean, we were
a field goal away from beating the Chiefs. It's not
that big of a deal that we then didn't we
(47:57):
beat their sea team. We almost beat their A team,
and like chick mamlons ran on the field like you
just won the Super Bowl after they won, like it's okay,
Like we went head to head with you in Kansas City.
You know, so I think we're way closer than people
are giving us credit for.
Speaker 1 (48:13):
Yeah, I absolutely agree. Anything else before we get you
out of here? Does any final thoughts? Uh? What else
you got for.
Speaker 2 (48:22):
Us as I got for you?
Speaker 1 (48:25):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (48:26):
I think we cover? I mean super stoked. We talked
briefly about or we mentioned in texting just the extension.
Super stoked for that with Courtland's sign and Zach Allen.
Speaker 1 (48:36):
Love that next.
Speaker 2 (48:39):
Absolutely, Champagne said it. Champagne doesn't lie, Mario, What are
you talking about everything? He says, I believe every single thing,
and I.
Speaker 1 (48:48):
Believe the one thing I did want to ask you
about that that you had mentioned you talked about like
there wasn't a lot of turnover and not a lot
of players that they lost. But does one player that
they did lose, Oh, that I know was extremely near
and dear to your heart, was your before anyone else,
Bay Javonte Williams. And I call him Javonte in your
(49:12):
presence because as a current cowboy he can no longer
be javan So first of all, how are you holding
up with that? And additional question to that, do you
plan on replacing him?
Speaker 2 (49:28):
Like?
Speaker 1 (49:28):
Will it be one of these situations where you know
he's always near and dear to your heart, but you
need to you need to move on and find love again.
Or is it one of these situations where you're going
to be like Ben and start to push people away
because you are now afraid of love.
Speaker 2 (49:44):
I'm afraid of love. I have felt pretty afraid of
love this offseason. I've seen players and I've said I
want to be a fan of you, and I said, no,
you're gonna hurt me. But I think it's about time
that I find a new player, because I think everyone's
so tired of be talking about Javonte Williams, especially because
everyone's like he wasn't good and it's like, I know,
(50:06):
but I hang on to players for dear life, Von Miller,
Justin Simmons, Davonte, but Javonte was number one. But yeah,
it's about time. I am looking for my new love.
So we're in the process of that before the season starts.
Speaker 1 (50:19):
Well, then I'm gonna put you on the spot a
little bit. I'm not gonna say that you have to
decide right now, okay, because that's a lot of pressure
on a live show in front of hundreds of people.
But can you give us maybe like a top three
or even a top five of guys that you are considering.
David talks Broncos and might I suggest Jeremy Crawbatty Raw Baddy.
(50:43):
You know it's crazy Tywall. Yeah, I think maybe Marvin
Marvin Mims. Now let them ask you this. Do you
have to have a name where you can fit Bay
in there or make like kind of like a you know,
like one of those little sweet hard qut se names.
Speaker 2 (51:00):
Oh, we can think of all the cute names. It
doesn't have to be Bae like I know a lot
of people were trying Jabe around or our Bay Harvey
doesn't have to fit Bay in it, So we can
think of other cute names.
Speaker 1 (51:12):
But it's true, but I think you have You have
two finalists right here are Bay Harvey and Jabbee job
by Barry, job job by Baron.
Speaker 2 (51:23):
It's hard to say. Are two finalists huge fans.
Speaker 1 (51:29):
But I also interest you in uh In Big Nuts LUTs,
maybe the best kicker in all the leads.
Speaker 2 (51:35):
We all need a kicker. We'd be nothing without a kicker,
so they can't.
Speaker 1 (51:40):
You're going to be the first person to openly love
a kicker without being put in an awkward situation like
what Justin Well, probably shouldn't get into that.
Speaker 2 (51:50):
Nevermind, Oh my god, no, yeah, we already talked about
butt stuff today. Marrow, please no more.
Speaker 1 (51:56):
But Justin Tucker, what the fuck can do it?
Speaker 2 (52:00):
I can't do it anymore. So we will say slowly
but your early week by week, I will be at
camp next week, might see you, and well, we have
to figure something out. I think.
Speaker 1 (52:13):
No, it's fine because it's well established that anytime you
come to Colorado, you don't tell me, and I have
to reach out to you and bother you, and so
it's fine. I have very little expectations, just like my
expectations for Javonte Williams this year are zero.
Speaker 2 (52:32):
I can't say the huh. He's gonna be fine. He's
not gonna do great when he plays us, because I
don't want that. I love the Broncos first and foremost.
But he's gonna do great at the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (52:44):
Well, if you're gonna transition to our Bay Harvey or
Big Nuts LUTs, you're you're gonna have to let go
completely of Javante Williams or you'll never really be able
to love purely.
Speaker 2 (52:58):
You're so right, dude, Oh my god, you're so right.
So I think this is this is my love is
blind experiment right now for the next few weeks.
Speaker 1 (53:06):
Locking my, you have the benefit, but you have the
benefit of, like, of seeing these guys. Right. So it's
not love is blind, It's it's maybe love is alive.
Love is Broncos.
Speaker 2 (53:19):
Love is Broncos. You heard it.
Speaker 1 (53:22):
Here is Broncos. Yes, yes, in order to feel the
love from your show, where can they where can they
watch it? Where's it available? What platforms before we get
you out of here?
Speaker 2 (53:34):
Yes, Broncos for dummies. It's on Instagram and TikTok and
