beat the shit out of my cowboys this year. I
ain't got nothing bad to say about no team that
don't beat my team as this year. I ain't got nothing, man,
I ain't got nothing to say about them nothing. Carolina

Panthers gonna win that division. They be up on the book.

(16:16):
They beat Baker Mayfield right, Shan beat Baker Mayfield got

Panther fans on her right now.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
Blessings to you, Blessings to you.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Got the Denver Broncos and the ALC. You got bow Knicks.
He got Sean Payton, the head coach that might be
a sleeper team. I know, New England. I see you move.
It's gonna come down. Don't forget them Texans. Don't you

(17:25):
forget them sipping serup ass Texans team that might just
come out this AFC this year. It's probably the Denver Broncos.
And the reason why I say that Andy Reid an'
in the mix. One other coach in the AFC right
now that it's better than Sean Payton. We ain't worry

(17:48):
about the Raven and John Harb. Brown now got Jim
Harb brother. The Chargers ain't finna beat no motherfucker. Sean
Payton died in Denver when it's cold. She see I
don't see it, y'all see it. I don't see it.

(18:09):
Who else in that? But I know New England But
they can't beat they can't be Buffalo. Buffalo and the
Denver Broncos probably the two best teams in the AFC.
I'm just keeping the book. Yes, other teams around, but
Buffalo cream of the crop, Denville cream of the crop.

(18:35):
I'm gonna ask y'all what y'all think. I got the
Texans on there. I got already got the Texans up
there in the mix that they like the third tier,
third tier of this when on the NFC right now,
found I'm speaking on AFC. We know what's in the
NFC West. We still you still you still got the Round,

(18:57):
You still got Seattle, Hey, you still got the forty
nine ers over there, you got the Barrels over there,
you still got Detroit, you still got Green Bay, and
you got motherfucking Eagles. Don't get a twisted. This shit's
still gonna run through Philly. Now, It's still gonna run

(19:20):
through Philly. But Jalen hurts even though he up and down.
But it's still gonna run through them big boys over there,
because when the playoffs start, what happened in the regular
season don't matter no more. We know that it's all
about who can get hot at the right time, who
can control the line of scrimmage man, who's not turning
the ball over? Who converting thirty threes in thirty four.

(19:43):
That's what it comes down to. Who can be disciplined,
not getting outside, who's not getting penalted, who's not getting
turned off? That would determine who's gonna win any games, y'all.
That's all I'm saying. Yeah, the MC west is stacked
with the ram seem forty niners. I don't believe in
Brodn Purty, even though he gonna took them to the

(20:03):
Super Bowl. I just don't believe it. They's just me.
I don't believe him. But the mother teams. I'm just
talking about the ABC two top teams, Buffalo and Denver
right now. Yeah, you got New England over there, But
it ain't it ain't it ain't you know. I go
by eye. The eye test is Buffalo in Denver. That's

(20:24):
the eye test for me. I don't know about y'all
what y'all think. See, I get it, y'all looking at
they struggled with Cleveland. Cleveland got one of the top
defenses in the league. Bro, it's just Cleveland offense, big Bro.

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
