Do you have a favorite Dame Campbell

0:02

story for people? Might My favorite was

0:04

when it was a sorry before we

0:06

were an away game. It's. Giving a

0:08

speech you know not going to fired up but

0:10

you know plan again after little bit in a

0:13

speech. And. His bottom tooth i

0:15

guess is a cap or whether the

0:17

fake to just flies out of his

0:19

our and in the middle of it

0:21

yet. And he

0:23

goes and proceeds to Just Like. No one

0:25

says anything because it's like a series each.

0:27

Know that he doesn't break, he doesn't laugh,

0:30

and. Whatever. He just goes on. The girl

0:32

picks it up, put it back and. And. Just

0:34

continues. Welcome.

0:37

To the green light I guess. Football

0:44

fields. You're in for a tree today. Al

0:46

Exceeds, a lowly linebacker for the Detroit Lions.

0:48

pops into Tuck to Chris. About

0:51

the Lines draft class, their success and

0:53

Twenty Twenty Three being able to play

0:55

with some the great players on their

0:57

defense. I gleaned Mcneil, Aden Hutchinson, and

0:59

Brian Branch. Alex tell some Great Dane

1:01

cable stories Also dies about being drafted

1:03

by Sean Payton. Little bit about his

1:05

time in New Orleans and how excited

1:07

1:09

Four season after Alex you are delivered

1:11

a wonderful mailbag. We put out the

1:13

requests you all. He answered the call.

1:15

these are dropping questions. Shallow Duel Brinson.

1:17

He dropped in a question that needs

1:19

a little more preparation so it'll. Show

1:21

up in a future pod for

1:23

sure. The mailbag topics we hit

1:25

today were: naked cruise ships, new

1:27

softball team members, best commentators for

1:30

certain situations and very special tradition

1:32

by the University of Alberta. these

1:34

men's Lacrosse team Enjoy today's episode.

1:36

We will catch you one Tuesday

1:38

redoubled. Yes, you're really in. The

1:42

brain. Power?

1:45

No. no

1:56

no I

2:01

got the green line, baby. I

2:05

have to be. Guys,

2:08

not much to say on the pot today. Just

2:11

a big incoherent mailbag

2:14

at the end of Alex Anzalone. Alex Anzalone,

2:16

big part of the Detroit Lions defense, and

2:18

I think that defense is going to be

2:20

a lot better next year. I

2:22

feel like they got things rolling in a way that, like,

2:25

they know the few holes they have

2:27

and they attack it. Like,

2:30

if you'd have given that team

2:33

a formidable secondary last year, no

2:35

telling how far they would have gone. I

2:37

mean, they went pretty damn far, giving

2:40

up big chunk plays left and right. So I'm really

2:42

excited about what they added on the back end. I

2:45

think the world of their offensive line, the weapons

2:47

they believe in, Jameson Williams, I

2:50

guess it's going to be a Jameson Williams breakout thing. They

2:52

didn't really attack wide receiver like that.

2:54

But one thing me and

2:57

Anzalone talked about was they

2:59

didn't add any linebackers, and that's a good sign.

3:01

I feel like they like who they have, and

3:03

he's one of those leaders

3:06

for them and somebody that can make a lot

3:08

of plays in the run game, but also even

3:11

more so in the pass game. And, you know,

3:14

they plan some shootouts. So to have a

3:16

guy like that at the second level is

3:18

really valuable. Here's Alex Anzalone, and

3:20

then stick around for a

3:22

mailbag. No,

3:25

hey, guys, mailbag is not going to be

3:27

good. Under

3:29

promise over deliver. Hey,

3:44

3:51

the way, this hoodie is super comfy.

4:49

the Detroit Lions Alex how you doing brother I'm

4:51

good I'm good how are you Chris I'm

4:53

good would you first off what'd

4:57

you think of the uniforms because I know swags important

4:59

to a guy like you yeah right now yeah they're

5:02

cool they're cool I feel like I got a little

5:05

insight before we released them

5:08

and you know I didn't do all the Jersey

5:10

reveal stuff but you know with the

5:12

I'd say this from what they

5:14

sent me the preliminary with the media

5:16

marketing people in the uniforms from

5:19

when Saint and you know Hutch and all of

5:21

them were in the uniforms they looked a lot

5:23

better when the actual players were in it

5:25

dude they always do sometimes I'll

5:27

be like ah and then you

5:29

know you see I'm on raw in that

5:32

Honolulu blue home Jersey

5:35

I think that's the best

5:37

one yeah the the all blacks

5:39

look sick I'm

5:41

partial to all black I always said I love

5:43

I love like accessories and you

5:46

know I just think it looks good you

5:48

know why it's maybe because it's in your

5:50

DNA being a New Orleans guy since

5:53

you got every like you guys I

5:56

felt like the inside of that stadium like

5:58

was shadowy He

6:00

wrote it in. the lighting was fucked

6:02

up the uniforms were trying to quit

6:04

like it was moody in their yeah

6:06

hundred percent it it. When I first

6:08

got drafted there it was like you

6:11

know it seem like the lights were

6:13

on on the people in the finance

6:15

yes there is on the field as

6:17

weird yeah dude I was i'm watching

6:19

tv and it sometimes it like during

6:21

the pandemic. And not down there.

6:23

The Superdome. As like this is the

6:25

loneliest field of ever seen. As like

6:27

you know, it's just looks like this

6:29

enormous void. And then the players

6:31

down the field was is it? So if

6:33

you were all black do you feel faster?

6:35

Fl? feel it? Alleys appear at in our

6:37

meme appears. see that you're damn right of

6:39

the all I'm in love the all black.

6:42

Oh I'm in. don't like when you put him in

6:45

all white shows. Love handles the blonde wig dude. This.

6:48

Is how you know you have made it

6:50

in a sense of they're putting on the

6:52

Alexander Loanee. Blonde. Wig what do you

6:54

think about that? Whose with the what was the first

6:56

time we saw somebody rock in that way where you

6:58

warned. Now. Yeah I've I've

7:00

I walk out the feeling that and we

7:02

play the Raiders on Monday night and I

7:05

guess the whoever was interviewed me after the

7:07

game some Nfl network person answer like like

7:09

the know those people who who are they

7:11

were in the ways on my what would

7:14

even talking about and then. Of. My

7:16

get on my phone after the game. I

7:18

see all the messages and people live in

7:20

both as a little errors. Mississauga.

7:23

Bad dude. I. Am

7:26

watching draft the other night knock him to

7:28

league in away and you know Detroit Detroit.

7:30

They were there bad like us for a

7:33

long time but I turn on the draft

7:35

the other night. And are

7:37

always draft in Detroit. This.

7:40

Is that the key part? They've

7:42

got five Detroit Lions up on

7:44

stage with. With. The commissioner to

7:46

kick the draft off and you don't even

7:48

needs like a car on under I'm you don't

7:51

need like hey this is who this guy. As

7:53

soon as guys you guys have stars on

7:55

your team. You. Packed

7:57

a house in the playoffs. How

7:59

great! The seal and what's your message? to

8:01

the guys that haven't been through this before,

8:03

haven't been a part of a winning organisation

8:05

before Detroit. But yeah, no, it's it's cool

8:07

man, like. In. Others it is tough

8:10

and like a because of the past

8:12

It's been here before. And. You

8:14

understand that you can build a legacy. You.

8:16

Know even. From. One one one

8:19

for game playoff game which seems like the

8:21

me if the furthest are the least amount

8:23

I think I'm in New Orleans of the

8:25

we went a division at least the divisional

8:28

round every year every year and ah so

8:30

you know that's that's what. Like what me

8:32

day and age he was what we're all

8:34

used to. Before again there

8:37

and. Just the be able to

8:39

leave a legacy just from winning a couple playoff

8:41

game playoff games tells you a lot at the

8:43

same time as shows you how much it means

8:45

the city and. Ah, You know be

8:47

a part something that that cool and special and.

8:49

You know it's really. it's really up from here and.

8:52

We know I feel like what we did. this uses

8:54

standard for you. been with than a while I you

8:56

know and what was your first year with them was

8:58

it. Like. Whether you. Seventeen.

9:01

A rookie year? Yeah, So

9:03

yeah I mean like I come on went down with the

9:06

interim coach or Miami and I know much about I'm and

9:08

then when you talk to guys are in Miami like I

9:10

talk to Channing Crowder in his i. Do.

9:12

This motherfucker had as do in Oklahoma, your

9:14

houses are as we got there, we were

9:16

like, "I don't know the mega this guy

9:18

there's no" And. Then he turns

9:20

out to be ah everything you'd

9:22

hope for in a in a

9:25

former player coach. That to me.

9:27

He. Embodies the former player coach better than

9:29

any coach have ever seen. What do you

9:31

think is key to that and then have

9:34

you seen him changes he's become a head

9:36

coach at all. Yeah I think that like

9:38

you said the former player had as that

9:40

talking I think the months of therapist the

9:42

they just about how. You. Know he

9:44

he like anything he asked to do is

9:47

he does have some like meathead tomb and

9:49

yeah he's smart. He's smarter than what people

9:51

perceive smart me had yeah yeah exactly but

9:53

his is calculated and or he knows when

9:55

to push buttons and when not to and.

9:58

Ah, you know when we do need that. The

10:00

live action period or won't when we don't.

10:02

And. When to pull on One pull off. But. Ah,

10:05

You. Know I think that as he's. In

10:08

a grown into who is now in his

10:10

head coaches you know for the Cm adapt

10:13

and I think it's unnecessary. Like you know

10:15

his first year in Detroit as a head

10:17

coach he was like uncomfortable or anything like

10:19

that but I feel like now from where

10:22

we were at and twenty twenty one said

10:24

now. Is. Like it's his.

10:26

you know to me and my he built

10:28

it the way down the how he sees

10:30

it Now he wants how he wants it

10:32

and. He knows full

10:34

see what a Brad homes during Campbell

12:46

run game the past game in the league.

12:48

What do you think? The catalyst as do

12:50

13:08

Grand last they'll come in. And last year

13:10

as a, you know, thirty thirty one year

13:12

old nine. In for

13:14

me at a high level. So

13:16

yeah, just the versatility as though they work

13:18

well together. With Ben Johnson

13:20

s and the Do is in a creative

13:22

and it makes a hard on defenses to

13:24

in a safe in a like swinging our

13:26

on ios just like screenplays and. You.

13:29

Know guide phone here there and.

13:31

13:44

that class kind of reflexes. Who's the biggest

13:46

13:52

for advice. Man.

13:55

I I mean like I'm of my

13:57

boys and it's hard because. You.

13:59

Know. You go like in a

14:01

linebacker stay with linebackers and Dv no

14:03

decency guys user on defense as all

14:06

that. Ah, I'm.

14:08

Trying to think I feel like. Frame.

14:10

Ragnar Good go Yeah that guy's always fishing

14:12

and shit yeah like is for his tail

14:15

is kind of my as a man were

14:17

either advises his eyes I could say a

14:19

time but him what you be but appeal

14:21

time him when he needs to. Ah,

14:25

You. Know father, stay away from the Db

14:27

room for him and attending now. D

14:29

V D s that Mlb I don't

14:31

think there's this is Brands kids these

14:34

pretty cool killer yeah I'd say he's

14:36

up there. He school is why he

14:38

came in as a rookie, bought out,

14:40

didn't say much. Orders Yes sir, Yes

14:42

sir. it's own home magnets only Sir

14:45

Derek, I'm a man or might not

14:47

even thirty. Are you thirty yet? Or

14:49

not. Almost twenty nine. You're almost. Or

14:51

I wouldn't do with Brands. Because

14:53

you got a lot of turnover in

14:56

their Db room. But like with brands,

14:58

his versatility. Can you help people understand

15:00

through a couple examples of of how

15:02

versatile this guy is? Yeah, I mean

15:04

you know he can play press man,

15:06

he plays own. in the last time

15:08

we just let him. On his

15:10

be a bonus hook plan you know say

15:12

hey bro still make a play. And

15:14

you know he's the type of her that you gonna. You.

15:17

Know don't like the Odyssey. Everyone has

15:19

responsibilities but or is a player resigned

15:21

as one? Let him do his thing.

15:23

And I just his credit the health

15:26

specially can be in health specialist he

15:28

isn't. You. Know he can play nickel

15:30

your plate safety for sure of see that

15:32

in college and. In. I'll leave. you will

15:34

have this year but you know he publicly outside

15:36

to how big of a help is getting these

15:39

young guys in. They obviously have to prove themselves

15:41

and you know their events that are going to

15:43

compete with those guys. But. Thirty.

15:45

Hours A big problem you know I didn't

15:47

get. You're getting off the field. That.

15:49

Was an issue and I thought it was one of

15:51

the issues that kept you guys in my opinion from

15:54

being. In. a superbowl champions you

15:56

guys are that good but if he can get

15:58

off on third down like would What do you

16:00

think y'all needed to do towards the

16:02

end of the season to get off

16:04

the field and how much can young secondary help?

16:06

And would you be able to onboard those guys

16:08

as a member of the linebacker and court? Do

16:10

you kind of leave it to the vets in

16:13

the secondary? Yeah, I think for sure. I think,

16:15

one, any talent is helpful.

16:18

And, you know, I don't think

16:20

that, you know, in my opinion, I don't think

16:22

that any defense schemes too confusing to, you know,

16:24

tell a guy that has a ton of talent

16:28

to just, hey, lock this guy up. Right.

16:31

And, you know, I feel like last year, like you

16:33

said, I think we're bottom of the league in third

16:35

and 11 plus or something

16:37

like that. And just, you know, that means you did

16:40

great on first and second. Like we had a ton

16:42

of third and 11 pluses. You

16:44

know, that's obviously a scout area

16:46

we have to address. And, you know, I

16:48

think that's a reflection of who we

16:50

brought in and drafted and, you know, traded

16:52

for. So I think

16:55

that'll definitely help. And, you know,

16:57

I think guys just playing fast,

16:59

competing, challenging receivers and doing

17:01

it the way it's coaches is really what's going

17:03

to make what's really going to help us get

17:06

to that next level. Like you said, what the

17:08

hell do you do about Justin Jefferson, dude, when

17:10

I watch you like anybody play them, but like

17:12

the two games you guys had late in the

17:15

season, I'll never forget

17:17

it was like, you know, they're playing Mullins and

17:19

they're playing other guys, but it just doesn't matter

17:21

because they're so explosive. And I just think that

17:23

coach over there, O'Connell, is so good. What's it

17:25

like taking the field with him and what are

17:27

those meetings like leading up? Yeah, I feel like,

17:30

you know, it's there's definitely a

17:32

game plan as far as, you know, how

17:35

free and how, you know, open or how many

17:37

yards do you want to give up first and

17:40

make instead of, you know, let's challenge

17:42

him, let's lock him up, let's eliminate him from

17:44

the game plan. You

17:46

know, it's kind of give and take and, you know, a little bit

17:48

of a chess game when you play a player like that. So

17:51

yeah, you can cloud towards him, you know, you can

17:53

cover two to a side every time, but you can

17:55

find the hole, go up. That's the thing about him,

17:57

he's so competitive when the ball's in the air. So

18:00

it's like two people you could double team him if you

18:02

want, but I remember in 2022 We

18:05

were double team the whole game and he's just

18:07

going up on the balls in the air and

18:09

just making plays on it And right he's just

18:11

super competitive and has obviously the traits to get

18:14

the ball in the air Your division is gonna

18:16

be a lot of fun I mean, it's crazy

18:18

because you guys kind of took over the division

18:20

and You think

18:22

Oh Aaron Rodgers is gone. Maybe things are big,

18:25

but it got more competitive top to bottom Caleb

18:29

Williams coming in You've

18:31

obviously got JJ McCarthy. Do you

18:34

get excited about playing young quarterbacks? Personally,

18:37

yeah, I think it's I mean, I'd

18:40

rather play younger quarterback than play Aaron

18:42

Rodgers You

18:46

know just because especially in their younger

18:48

years or hopefully we've you know play

18:50

them earlier in the season before they

18:52

you know Getting the groove but yeah,

18:54

yeah, I mean it's it's the league

18:56

and it's different and I

18:59

just remember Jamie Collins I played with him in 2021. He

19:02

just kept going like this the league bro.

19:04

Oh Jamie. Yeah What

19:07

where was he in 2021? He was

19:09

in Detroit for he got

19:11

cut after a week to do Jamie

19:14

Collins Is one of the biggest badasses

19:16

I've ever met. Yeah He's

19:18

a dog but total dog

19:20

bro and one of the best

19:22

football players I've ever played with yeah Yeah,

19:24

he he is like Freaky

19:27

ass lives. I played a system with you

19:29

know, six four. He's like 260 Positionless.

19:33

Yeah, it's crazy dude

19:35

I mean some of the linebackers that were in that

19:37

New England room like Dante high towers like a real

19:39

1990s backer Yeah,

19:41

he's like 255 bro and he could

19:43

rush the edge. Yeah You're

19:49

doing pretty damn good Let's start your first

19:51

stop New Orleans like I

19:53

know you had some injuries I think you've done

19:55

a good job of staying on the field. I know though

19:57

this year you had three broken ribs. Is that right? Yeah,

20:01

I don't it's a rhetorical question coming from me, but

20:03

but how does that feel for people? Well,

20:06

it's you know at first they thought it was

20:08

you know, just a contusion and you know

20:10

Because I wasn't like super symptomatic, but

20:13

I remember it was the friday before the

20:16

The ram's playoff game i'm

20:18

turning the alarm i'm just like at home Turning

20:21

the alarm on at night and I reach

20:23

over just like let my dog out reached

20:25

over I pop pop pop and then I

20:27

just felt a ton of movement So I

20:29

think I did obviously something happened and then

20:31

it got an x-ray monday morning Oh,

20:33

I played the ram's game got an x-ray monday

20:36

morning And you know, you got

20:38

three broken ribs golly and that was

20:40

such a physical game Yeah, yeah, was that the

20:42

most like what was the most physical game of

20:44

the season last year? Would that be it because

20:47

you're eating the hits or just yeah I mean,

20:49

I think that any playoff, you know, there's any

20:51

playoff game is just a whole nother, you know

20:54

level of people flying around and you know

20:56

putting your body on the line and Um,

20:59

I just remember they I think it

21:01

was towards the end of the game. They

21:04

ran duo, you know Just a normal duo

21:06

france play and my gap just opens up

21:08

and i'm like, yeah I'm

21:10

gonna have to go throw it. So it thought up

21:12

williams up and I had to do it I

21:14

just remember being on the room like oh Yeah,

21:17

this is terrible. Hey, the laughing is the

21:19

worst dude You know on the plane after

21:22

the game. Somebody tells a joke and then

21:24

all of a sudden you're like in the

21:26

in the aisle, bro You're in pain so

21:28

much. Can't sleep. Yeah, I don't know how

21:30

you slept But how was that atmosphere man?

21:32

Like did you see famous people walking around that

21:34

you weren't used to seeing around the facilities? You

21:36

see people at the games like bob seager was

21:39

there like right? I

21:41

feel like at the game We didn't have a ton

21:43

at the facility like I remember in new orleans We

21:45

had a like a lot of people coming through that

21:47

that's probably because of you know Drew

21:49

and shawn they're all in there La

21:52

california, but yeah game day we had

21:54

a lot Um, it kind

21:56

of felt like Because it

21:58

doesn't sit that many fans It's like 50,

22:00

60,000 or something like that. Tight.

22:03

Yeah. Intimate,

22:05

rowdy crap. Almost like a playoff

22:08

basketball game, in a sense. Right.

22:11

That's cool. Dude, that's all. I mean, it

22:13

was so fun to watch that atmosphere. You could tell

22:15

people been waiting 20 years for it. And

22:17

having played in New Orleans, you know all about

22:19

big atmospheres. I feel like for you guys, that

22:22

home field with the front you have

22:24

now is a big

22:26

advantage. How much does DJ

22:28

Reader help? Have you got a chance to talk to

22:30

him a little bit? Yeah. I haven't

22:33

got to sit down and hang out with him

22:35

much. But I think that's definitely

22:37

a hole that we need to fill. I

22:40

think that the interior

22:42

D-line as a linebacker is the most important

22:44

thing that you'd want. You love that. You

22:46

want the big boys up front to be

22:48

good, so you can just not take on

22:50

linemen every play. But

22:53

yeah, I think that will help a ton. And

22:56

Hobie as a linebacker will be my

22:58

best friend. And

23:00

when you're out there on third down, when

23:03

Hutch kicks inside, I always say this,

23:06

Hutch is a really, really good rusher. But the

23:08

reason I think he's really,

23:10

really, really good is

23:12

because he can rush inside too. And

23:15

when he goes inside, I think he's as good

23:17

as any end rushing at a three technique in

23:19

a league. And I don't think a lot of

23:21

people realize that. Yeah, 100%. And

23:24

it's funny as he had some pushback on that

23:26

at first because he just wanted to stay on

23:28

the edge but then I forget

23:31

maybe it was training camp practice we were

23:33

practicing against the Giants or the Jags. And

23:37

he just got to work on the guard.

23:40

And from going forward, I

23:42

think he finally bought into it. And

23:44

I was like, I could be productive here. And it's

23:47

easier for him. No question. I mean, it's

23:50

the length. I know he's not

23:52

the longest guy in the way. He's tall, but his arms

23:54

are that long. And I think he does a really good

23:56

job of creating length on the edge. But

23:58

then when he gets inside like these. guards are like,

24:01

you know, he's just a better athlete.

24:04

And he plays so hard, you know, he's

24:06

so active. That's why I love about him.

24:08

So I'm just excited to watch that D

24:10

line work. Is there anybody else that doesn't get enough credit

24:12

on that D line? Oh, yeah, that's,

24:14

that's a good question. I think that Aline

24:16

McNeil is obviously really a productive player. I

24:19

think, you know, what hindered him from potential

24:21

Pro Bowl or, you know, that type of

24:23

recognition last year's again hurt. You

24:26

know, I think it was like week 10 or something like that.

24:29

But yeah, I think that he's, you know, ready to

24:31

make that, you know, big, big jump

24:33

and, you know, as a three technique with

24:36

the rebrand reader. And I know he was playing some nose

24:38

last year, which where

24:40

he's playing three. And then I think he's more of a natural

24:42

nose. So we'll see, we'll see how they,

24:44

how they shake out. But, you

24:46

know, he's a really athletic, big,

24:50

strong, smart player. Yeah, he was, he came on

24:52

the show a couple of weeks ago. He's a

24:54

fucking great kid. Yeah. You just smiled the whole

24:56

time. Yeah, right. Yeah, he's cool. You know what

24:58

I mean? Anyways, I

25:01

mean, with

25:03

Ben Johnson's offense, and

25:06

this is more of a practice question, because obviously

25:08

during the game, you're not paying as much attention,

25:10

you're worried about your stuff. But like, what

25:13

are the ways that he puts defenses

25:15

in a bind? You

25:17

had Sean Payton, you

25:19

know, you practice against his group, and now

25:21

you've got Ben Johnson. What

25:23

is he so good at?

25:25

As creativity, you

25:28

know, his willingness to run the ball. I

25:30

think that the hardest thing, you know,

25:32

if we did have to play against them, you know,

25:34

it would be third and eight, and they'll just run

25:36

the ball right at you. And, you know, you're, yeah,

25:39

like that's, to me, that'd be

25:41

the most annoying because, you know, you get in

25:44

those pressure packages where, you know, DBs and

25:46

linebackers on the line of scrimmage and, you

25:49

know, you're ready to get after the rush.

25:51

And, Yeah, just they just

25:53

run right at you and inside zone, and you

25:55

don't really know what to do. So, just, The

26:00

creativity in that regard and mister on

26:02

the ball. and ah, it's concepts Robs

26:04

a great so. Well. You

26:06

know that you mention this is like

26:08

a guy if you get out there

26:10

and Saab and they hold up like

26:12

a dime. Die Namur, nickel, nickel metal

26:14

like really had time. you know the

26:16

music playing. The girl I'm were brothers

26:19

is my chance. As and when you're

26:21

playing the lions is like hey it's

26:23

third and six. their fuckin running travel

26:25

exactly either. I think the Chargers game

26:27

y'all had like multiple third and mediums.

26:29

a job pounded or have to specific

26:31

while. ah no one, no one really

26:33

no other team does it. Nobody. Nobody.

26:36

But it's so cool to have that commitment

26:38

from a guy who's like, did the new

26:41

sexy rise me right? You know, like and

26:43

I think in general. In in

26:45

today's game and is why linebacker such

26:47

an important position. The. Run

26:49

game and the middle. the field is

26:51

so important. Even these west coast sideline

26:54

to sideline you know. Ah, fences that

26:56

are like futuristic like Miami. all that

26:58

speed. If you don't have backers it's

27:00

gonna be hard. You know the plaques

27:02

and stuff. But. Everything comes off the

27:05

run game and it's the same thing for

27:07

San Francisco. It's kind of like quietly, a

27:09

lot of these hot shot coordinators are committing

27:11

the running the ball. Yeah, yeah, the Atlanta

27:13

think that's definitely an easy thing about like

27:15

in hand. And and. Some.

27:17

Other corners of Russell a the ones that

27:19

you know didn't so game where they're going

27:21

to throw the ball fifty fifty times you

27:23

like. Okay this is easier. Yelled or

27:25

to do it as when. You. Know they

27:28

mix it up well as as when

27:30

these are no question I was on.

27:32

That gives man like you've you've been

27:34

around Camorra and. I

27:36

just think. Every. As as

27:38

he says you need threat because what he

27:40

can do out of the backfield now I'm

27:42

sure. That soil he gives to

27:44

but you've had to cover alvin and

27:46

in practice how is gives a little

27:48

bit different. He's frog a little bit

27:50

more straight line speed. Blue eyes maybe?

27:52

yeah, I think a little less eyes

27:54

lot a lot faster. It's a lot.

27:56

Yeah, you know. The. Muffin not empty

27:59

Not be one of. Oh shit Vp

28:01

of you can be the fifth that he

28:03

added in a V C have you I

28:05

know that once I had around with Sproles

28:08

on a damn wheel when I was in

28:10

St Louis with his has a new well

28:12

as as like this is all yeah right

28:14

that it's bad yeah I got no yes

28:17

I think that they they're use him as

28:19

you know of a similar you know so

28:21

it's it's cool to see gives develop and

28:23

get going as a season went on him.

28:26

And know that he's probably work into. You.

28:29

Know be more comfortable in with

28:31

s and the dune can better off

28:33

from routes and as a really makes

28:35

are you know sorcery and linebackers

28:37

even. Know. Sometimes Mercedes covering their i used

28:39

to covering running back so you know you get

28:42

to work on them to so. No.

28:44

Question: Who's Who's a guy? Who's the guy

28:46

you hate? Cover: In. In the

28:48

league. You. Know what

28:50

are the yeah no bomb when

28:53

you must? Yeah Ah. You.

28:55

Know us. I feel like I am a cover

28:57

backers so little over. One. On was

28:59

running back side at it's heart. I don't come

29:01

across them like. To. My, you

29:04

know, yeah, like haven't I cover

29:06

lot of finance on third them

29:08

exercise, it can be the size

29:10

right I mean like a laporta

29:12

to. He's. Not on the door

29:15

being the best. Kindly and. I

29:17

think so for sure. I think that he's

29:19

productive the of the numbers. The thing that

29:21

separates him from a lot of different players

29:23

is his ability run after after the catch

29:25

and. You. Know can it be competitive in that

29:27

regard? A lot of guys are just castle and. First.

29:30

I get they get tackle and. Oh.

29:32

My think that's what separates him from a lot

29:34

other titans. He's a little groggy, Near.

29:36

Yeah, he's so obviously way smaller. but yeah,

29:38

Mahler. but he's got that grand Canal Legs

29:41

bull in a china shop. Yeah, and the

29:43

length? You know what I mean. Like he's

29:45

got that length. I

29:47

I. I. Gotta I gotta

29:49

ask about that seventeen? New. Orleans

29:52

draft Class. Ladder. More

29:54

Ram Shag Marcus Williams Camaro

29:56

Henderson Hill Yourself Like. All.

30:00

Really? Good players, And.

30:03

How much pride you guys are taken? That cause you guess

30:06

we'll talk a lot. Ah, You know,

30:08

not not a fun. I feel like we've heard a

30:10

lot of us went. Elsewhere. Like

30:12

Tray wants his. you know the bangles.

30:14

Marja Baltimore I thought the taste of

30:16

and decent amount. is he still there?

30:18

Goon This thing. Alvin

30:20

Marshawn. So their. Own.

30:23

I. Don't know a smaller I am, but I

30:25

think there's definitely. A very

30:27

like. Historical.

30:30

Group you know it's It's hard to

30:32

explain, but I think that the quality

30:34

of players and one draft classes. You.

30:37

Know if I can think of many other

30:39

that are good are just as good now

30:41

that we we were stalking and out because

30:43

I had Mickey Loomis on the show last

30:45

year and I love make yeah thought it

30:47

was amazing and is just on a great

30:49

job or like I I thought we we

30:52

compare that to like last there's not many

30:54

that much better. And. Now it's

30:56

crazy to hear try talking about, you know?

30:58

Big. Trade like hey, I'm out for

31:00

your Amy I love to try to

31:03

get his business had on, right? Yeah,

31:05

have money first, the scenery far as

31:07

well, but I do feel like he's

31:09

the most underappreciated rationally. I really do

31:11

think that. Yeah. I wonder

31:13

why. Is it might have

31:15

given him a high rate of a job at

31:18

work with. But honestly

31:20

his hand works incredible. It is consistent

31:22

as just. Sometimes. If

31:24

I were to if I was Trays agent. I.

31:27

Know what he's doing with the sleeves we

31:29

just talked about. But

31:32

I wouldn't do sleaze underneath.

31:34

No. Blood. No.

31:37

I would throw gloves on. I

31:39

wish I could be his slag.

31:41

Hundred percent is Rob adviser. Yeah

31:43

it is. Yeah A ever since user

31:45

at you like them like over yet.

31:48

This. is below the get a fist at night i

31:50

got his jersey of harrys he wants to the after the

31:52

first time we played as i go with strangers was like

31:54

i knew i'd really didn't know who he was use that

31:56

as a you and i was authors super cool that a

31:59

kid want to trade with me and I just

32:01

had no idea that it would be maybe my

32:04

favorite jersey on the wall. His career

32:06

has just, I mean, it's been so fun to

32:08

watch. All right, last

32:10

thing we talk about. Well,

32:12

I want to ask you one more thing about

32:14

New Orleans. Ryan Nielsen, dude. It's

32:16

not a question yet, but I

32:19

really wanted him to go to Philly this

32:21

last off season. I just really

32:23

liked the job he did down there in Atlanta,

32:25

right? What do you think

32:27

he's going to bring? He's in Jacksonville this year.

32:30

What do you think he's all about? So Jacksonville

32:32

fans might be listening to this. Yeah, a little

32:34

flavor. No, yeah, he's definitely from, you know, I'll

32:37

speak from my perspective. He was the D

32:39

line coach in New Orleans, my four years

32:41

there. And, you know, he

32:43

was definitely, you

32:45

know, intense and he came from a college background, but

32:48

it was what we needed. And it's

32:50

what really worked like guys like Trey

32:52

obviously succeeded from him and, you

32:55

know, Cam did really well with him, Cam Jordan. But

32:58

yeah, he's definitely a guy that is, he's smart.

33:00

He's played. He's detailed.

33:03

He's like the way he, funny

33:06

story, he would have, we'd

33:08

be on a Friday walkthrough or not Friday

33:11

walkthrough, but Friday, like fast Friday. And

33:13

he'd have the D line come out

33:15

with shoulder pads on for individual. And

33:18

obviously there was some pushback, but it

33:20

would be an effort. Five minutes an

33:22

individual on Fridays, but he

33:25

definitely brings the best out of his players. And

33:28

even when it's not, you know, exactly what you want to

33:30

do, you know, it's the right thing to do. Damn,

33:32

dude, that would have given some static. I think

33:34

I liked him because I've always liked him just

33:37

as a coach, but old vet me would have

33:39

been grumpy as hell. I would have been like,

33:41

what are we doing, dog? But

33:43

Sean Payton, they say his camps

33:45

were motherfuckers. Uh-huh. Yeah.

33:48

It was way harder than college.

33:50

I played at Florida and one, it

33:52

was hot. This is how to shit in New Orleans. And

33:55

two, they were physical 907 every day,

33:57

pass. ads

34:00

every day before the new CBA

34:03

came out. The new CBA.

34:06

You motherfuckers. Do

34:08

you know, I'm like two CBA's ago, bro. Hey,

34:12

I'll never forget when they took away two a days.

34:14

It was like two, three years into my career. I

34:16

was like, oh my God, there's a whole generation of

34:18

people who are never gonna have to practice twice. Yeah,

34:20

but you also got that signing bonus when you got

34:22

drafted. We did, we did, we did, we did. That's

34:25

paying for some of this equipment in this

34:27

home studio. Yeah, so I

34:29

just, who's a bigger hard ass like

34:32

on the, is

34:35

Dan take a lot of the Sean Payton with

34:37

him in the programmatic building? Is there a lot

34:40

of similarity in the way he runs the program

34:42

or is it different? I think

34:44

it's a little different. I think Dan has

34:46

his own flair on it, but I definitely

34:48

see like idiosyncrasies in his team meetings and

34:50

how he speaks to people and like, kind

34:53

of like what I said and when to push buttons,

34:55

when not to, when to call someone out in a

34:58

team meeting, when not to. He

35:00

gets a lot of that from Sean, I think. But

35:04

yeah, there's some like same flavor as far as

35:06

how he runs it, but also his

35:08

own flair on it. Sean

35:11

talks longer though. And

35:13

slower. I

35:16

had Sean on this show and

35:18

I was like, oh, it's so cool. Sean's gonna do the show. And

35:20

I was psyched. He's like, I'm

35:22

driving across Louisiana. I'll call you in the

35:24

phone. There's no video he just called. Yeah.

35:27

I was like, I need you for like, can I do like 30? He's

35:29

like, we'll go as long as you want. Hour and

35:31

50 later. We're

35:34

still talking ball, dude. Yeah, I love him. If

35:36

I were in a team meeting, not

35:38

so much. No, yeah. I

35:41

mean, sometimes you have to get in there for the

35:43

team meeting. So

35:45

good. All right, so I have a

35:47

little tidbit about Dan. I didn't tell,

35:49

well, I told Aline, but he was like, what's that?

35:52

This comes from one of Dan's friends who told me

35:54

this, that when he was in a league, he used

35:56

to go to Vegas and stay

35:58

at a particular casino. Supposedly very

36:00

religiously. This is a rumor. If Dan hears

36:02

this and he didn't really stay there. I

36:05

blame somebody else He stayed at the dev

36:07

at the Excalibur. I Don't

36:10

even I don't even I don't even know pull

36:12

it up, dude. It looks like a

36:14

castle It's it's the

36:16

one casino that looks like a

36:19

castle It literally has it's

36:21

a little bit seedy in my opinion and he would

36:23

go there Supposedly he would go

36:26

stay at the castle like so his room was up

36:28

in like a rampart You

36:30

know what I mean? Like which is just perfect for

36:32

me in my mind's eye as far as where Dan

36:34

Campbell won a party I know

36:36

I know who used to get after I know

36:38

that perfect. Oh, yeah, dude a Tight

36:41

end from Texas A&M that played in the

36:43

90s, right? Do

36:45

you have a favorite Dan Campbell story for people?

36:47

My favorite? Was when

36:50

it was a Saturday before we were in

36:52

the way game. It's giving the speech, you know Not

36:54

getting too fired up But you know kind of getting

36:56

after a little bit in this speech and

36:59

his bottom tooth I guess he has a cap

37:01

or whoever the fake tooth just flies out of

37:03

his mouth. I was in the middle of it Yes

37:08

And he goes and proceeds to just like no

37:10

one says anything because it's like a serious speech

37:13

No, he doesn't break he doesn't laugh

37:15

and whatever. He just goes on the

37:17

ground picks it up puts it back in and just

37:19

continues And

37:21

this is I think it was in 2021 when it was

37:24

his first year. So we're we're good Oh

37:29

Did you see the Jets fan his tooth flew out Oh

37:32

No, you guys see what you were playing football is

37:34

what I do now I just saw on Twitter looking

37:37

at videos, but there's Jets fan It was in it

37:39

was raining they were down by like 40 points this

37:41

year He went to yell at Zach Wilson or some

37:43

shit. This tooth just flew It

37:45

was a slow motion into the commercial break on

37:47

CBS So Dan

37:49

Campbell lost the tooth. All right last thing

37:51

my my green light team Just went to

37:54

Detroit for the draft and Bo Allen was

37:56

out there. We had a mixing it up

37:58

and the whole thing Mom's

38:01

spaghetti. Uh-huh. Have you

38:03

been there? I haven't, but

38:05

we've had a caterer at the facility. Okay,

38:08

so I'm not going to expect you, especially with

38:10

the catering thing, to agree, but both thought it

38:12

was very, very pedestrian.

38:15

I mean, it

38:17

may have been a great opportunity for my dog.

38:20

You don't have to say anything. You don't have

38:22

to say anything. So give me your Detroit bucket

38:24

list for anybody who's going to, if somebody's moved

38:26

to Detroit for six months, what

38:28

do they have to do? Well, I come

38:30

in the summer, spring, summer, you know, I

38:32

honestly, I don't go downtown Detroit a ton,

38:35

but there are a ton of like really nice

38:37

suburbs. You know, I live in Birmingham and, you

38:40

know, it's, it's just like, and I live in a

38:42

nice place in Florida, but there's honestly

38:45

nothing that beats, you know, the trails,

38:47

the wet, you know, like the forest,

38:49

the flowers and everything in Michigan, you

38:52

know, Nothing that beats it. It sounds

38:54

like you're going to be calling Detroit

38:56

home when you retire or have we

38:59

committed to living in Detroit after retirement.

39:02

Yeah, that's probably if I get divorced. Good.

39:06

Alexander, Loni love watching you play, dude. Pulling

39:12

for y'all. I hope we get out to a game this year.

39:15

I'll see you out there, man. But

39:17

good luck and hope you come back on again. Appreciate

39:19

it. I'm

39:21

doing this new thing, read where I blow off

39:23

all my fucking responsibilities. I got to tell you,

39:26

it's the most empowering

39:28

thing I've ever felt. You

39:31

know, you work your whole life and

39:34

that's supposed to be empowering, having success, answering

39:37

the bell. But

39:39

sometimes you just got to say, Hey, fuck it. I

39:41

want to shirk all my responsibilities for a period of

39:43

about a month. And that's what I'm doing right now.

39:45

So today we're supposed to have podcast. I

39:47

says 88 degrees outside. I want to take my

39:49

little brother out on the river. We'll

39:52

worry about the podcast later. Plus how

39:55

many different ways can we talk about the NFL draft? It's

39:58

over. Yeah, we'll

40:00

find more. Yeah, we'll find more. Yeah, we

40:02

could always give love to the Denver Broncos draftees. One

40:05

of the mail back questions I saw read was that

40:07

there was a Broncos fan that was like, wondering

40:10

if you could defend that draft. I

40:12

know and I did, I just responded to him.

40:14

You know, I'm getting higher and higher on the

40:17

BONIX pick. There's info out there on his, that

40:20

he's like the number one rated

40:22

in pocket passing and under pressure

40:24

and non, like all these metrics

40:26

that are, that dive a little deeper. So yeah,

40:29

exactly. So we'll see, we'll see what he looks

40:31

like. You know, when he

40:33

matches up against a mile high Zach Wilson. I

40:35

fell on the river today. My life flashed for

40:37

my eyes. There's just some things you can't do.

40:39

Okay. How was it? Well,

40:42

it was great until I forgot my speaker

40:44

at which moment I started to almost cry

40:46

because I can get a chance to listen to any of the

40:48

river tunes. It was just me and

40:50

Kyle. I took Kyle out. Couldn't find anybody else that

40:52

wanted to go. Imagine

40:55

that a lot of people work on Thursdays, but the

40:57

whole new setup I have going on. Which

41:00

is the Paul Rudd way of existence.

41:02

Do less. Kyle was my only

41:04

friend and pull up to the river.

41:06

I don't have my speaker. No big deal. Kyle

41:08

said, let's listen to nature. Shall we?

41:12

We had some great convos, bro. I just, I love

41:14

being with my brother. I

41:16

will say when you pulled up outside the studio, you

41:18

both had a mass, you both had massive smiles on

41:20

your faces and I don't think you could wait until

41:22

you got down to the water. No, I asked, I

41:25

was like, Kyle, I've got some of your shit in

41:27

my car. I give it to you right now. He's

41:29

like, no, later. We're leaving. I

41:32

had all Kyle's items, the whole thing. It was fun. There

41:34

wasn't anything to report back on. We just had a nice day on the river. Do

41:37

we have good GoPro footage from today? I gave you a

41:39

GoPro. I got 40 seconds of

41:41

GoPro, shot a helicopter

41:43

that was probably looking for a

41:46

body in the river that was

41:48

hovering around us. Then

41:50

Kyle and I started talking about some really deep shit and 30

41:52

minutes in, I was like, you know, we should probably wipe this.

41:55

I got a text from Kyle saying,

41:57

do not delete that GoPro footage. some

42:00

great shit in there you'll see it when

42:02

you watch it. There's not great shit on

42:04

that GoPro at all. Alright, so

42:07

not to mail it in, but

42:09

we're going to do a mail bag because I

42:11

just don't have much else to say. We got

42:14

Alex Anzalone. What more could you want? What more

42:16

could you need? Not much. These

42:18

spoiled fucks. I don't know if you

42:20

saw this, but there is a big

42:22

nude boat cruise. The big

42:24

nude boat will take travelers from Miami

42:26

to the Caribbean on an 11 day

42:28

adventure back to Baradice. The website

42:30

says, setting sail from February 3rd through Valentine's

42:33

Day 2025, the trip offers

42:36

a stress-free and close-free experience during

42:38

which up to 2300 passengers can roam

42:41

the ship in the nude while out at sea. So

42:44

I want to know what, because

42:46

we've talked about a teammate

42:48

that you had a conversation with that you would go

42:50

on naked and afraid with, but this is a whole

42:53

different thing. Who's somebody

42:55

you would take on this cruise outside

42:57

of your wife? Nick

42:59

Foles. Bro, nobody's

43:01

looking at me. It's

43:04

like an invisibility cloak walking

43:07

around next to Nick Foles. Sir,

43:11

you're leaving a tennis

43:14

ball sized divot everywhere

43:17

you walk, all through the

43:19

galleys. People

43:22

drowning, falling off the cruise ship with some

43:24

drunk frat kid, falls in the ocean, falls

43:26

just, no. Bro,

43:32

they're like, fuck man, I'm trying to dock this

43:34

ship. We're a little far from

43:36

the dock. If only we had a jetway of

43:38

some sort that was 27 feet long. My

43:43

wife's not coming on this cruise, right? No.

43:45

Okay, she doesn't need to come on this cruise. Just

43:47

you and a friend. No, okay. What I was going

43:49

to ask though, in reality, is,

43:54

or I could go with the, take one

43:56

of those old linemen and make you look good. You

43:58

know what I mean? Yeah, make

44:01

you look real good You know,

44:03

it's funny because Michael Bennett and I always talk

44:05

about like we were big fans of the show

44:07

naked and afraid like huge

44:09

fans of it and He's

44:12

like legit intrigued by this show and he

44:15

was like petitioning I think he was I

44:17

don't know if he went as far as like his reps

44:19

reached out to them But he was

44:21

like bro, you mean to go on that show you mean

44:23

in that show you want me to go on that show

44:26

first off I Would

44:29

crush his skull with a rock day three

44:34

He's really gonna get on my nerves what he wants to But

44:37

secondly like I don't think we'd be cool

44:39

just hanging out naked like that You

44:42

know what I mean dudes in locker rooms are

44:44

like hey put your meat away, man That's why

44:46

I wanted to ask or bring this story up

44:48

because I think this would be you know It's

44:51

not just you two in one closed

44:53

environment. You got a boat and you've got

44:56

wait 298

44:58

other people you can interact. Yeah. Yeah.

45:00

Yeah. Oh I

45:04

got it Tom Brady. I don't

45:06

really want to talk about Tom Brady's dick Nick Foles

45:08

dick That's okay, but Tom Brady. I feels like a

45:10

bridge too far. You know who I'd like to bring

45:13

The Florida coach that swore

45:15

up and down eating fuck a shark But

45:18

part of me is always like maybe

45:20

he fucked that shark Jim Jim McElwain

45:22

That's what happened to Jim McElwain. He looked like this

45:25

guy that was it was on camera Humping

45:27

a shark if you're at home. Yeah,

45:29

look up Jim McElwain shark. It's

45:31

45:36

better for recruiting that it's not saw your

45:38

son play last night. Where is he? Where is

45:40

he headed? He's headed to Gainesville to play

45:42

for the shark fucker. Oh Yeah,

45:45

I heard he's a great coach That

45:49

way see that doesn't work better

45:51

than he didn't fuck the shark Alright this

45:53

one from Durban

45:56

what broadcaster aside from Gus Johnson, would

46:21

pat mackafee standing over an orgy with

46:24

a wife eater on Some

46:26

of the guys did me orgy repeat after him

46:30

and Then

46:33

Mike Green popped in it right at

46:36

that moment and said bang bang bang

46:39

Chris Berman Oh Fashion

46:43

three minutes Hubie

46:52

Brown like y'all you have

46:54

to love the agility on the scale I

46:59

Need the NBA people Doris Burke

47:02

Avery Johnson, I Want

47:05

to hear Avery Johnson call a good

47:08

old-fashioned BBw

47:11

threesome that would be I think

47:13

get off the rails pretty quick

47:16

mark Jackson Mama

47:19

there goes that man. I think we've been

47:22

here. I think we've literally talked about Mark

47:24

Jackson calling Yeah, that's before. I'm looking up

47:26

this reddit thread Where's

47:29

Mark Jackson isms a

47:31

hero is more than just a sandwich Did

47:38

he really say I'd hit it out the park no

47:40

question with all due respect Harrison

47:45

Barnes is possessed by a

47:47

demon. Yeah three ball corner pocket

47:50

Someone asked what former? Athlete

47:53

do we need to sign to the green light

47:55

softball team Pete Rose? Oh Me

47:58

and Pete Rose at the the end of the bench

48:01

he'd be ripping my penny to have a white baseball

48:03

hat on. He'd be like,

48:05

Oh, you like 1990s F

48:08

series two. You

48:11

know, we'd have a lot in common. Like

48:13

we just, I feel like we'd really hit

48:15

it off. And then we bet the NBA

48:17

like the seven 30 game every six o'clock

48:19

Tuesday night. You know, I'd be

48:21

like, what do you like? And

48:23

I want to be clear. I think this

48:25

should be not for their playing abilities. Cause

48:27

we've got a pre-silence hop off. We don't

48:29

need just vibes. We need dugout vibes. We

48:31

don't need Pete Rose. Maybe you can throw

48:33

Frank Thomas in there for the all vibes

48:36

theme. See, Pete Rose would be

48:38

sending to the end of the bench passing out boner

48:40

pills. He'd be sitting at

48:42

the end of the bench, charging Nate $25 for autographs. You

48:47

paid him 25 bucks. Kyle would be

48:50

like, Oh, Frank Thomas is here. I'm out. I

48:52

read about that. Yeah. That, uh, that thing. I

48:55

read up on that thing a little bit. I

48:57

don't think it's very good. I don't want Pete

48:59

Rose in the dugout. He's going to be watching

49:01

field one with a bunch of money on BNB

49:04

electric. He is bro. He's going to be shy

49:06

betting BNB electric for sure. Yeah, true.

49:08

For sure. Michael Jordan, great

49:10

baseball player. He'd be

49:12

calling all of us bitches. If

49:15

Michael Jordan bitches, he'd

49:17

be flipping quarters to the corner and he'd

49:19

be holding that bat and smoking a cigar

49:21

and said the real man's come out when

49:23

you're down. Yeah. And you'd all

49:25

fall in line cause he's the true alpha. Yeah.

49:27

Oh yeah. He would talk so much shit to

49:29

our umpire, George, a

49:32

white guy from Boston. He

49:35

would have George in a

49:37

pretzel just shagging balls out

49:39

there. Yeah.

49:42

Jordan would be awesome. The university

49:44

of Albany lacrosse team, they sing

49:46

Pearl Jam. Uh, Pearl Jam's

49:48

alive before every game. This came out the other

49:51

day. Uh, they'd be doing it

49:53

like 10 years. I know you talked about how

49:55

you and Fletcher Cox would listen to, uh, death

49:58

row before every game. Yeah. What

50:01

song would you play as a

50:04

team that you could all sing if you

50:06

knew the other team could hear it? So

50:09

like to freak the other team

50:11

out or scare them,

50:14

make them real nervous that you could all sing

50:16

in unison. Alive? They're singing

50:19

alive? They're singing Pearl Jam's

50:21

Alive. It's actually dope. How

50:25

do the black guys feel about this? They don't have any black guys

50:27

on their team? I just want

50:29

to check with the brothers, man, because the brothers

50:31

I know are not down with

50:34

singing Pearl Jam in

50:36

full uniform. Is that what they're singing?

50:38

Yeah, literally right before the game. Okay, no shade. I'm

50:40

a huge Pearl Jam fan. Not

50:44

that Pearl Jam's reach isn't

50:46

cross-racial. There is

50:49

one brother on the UAlbany lacrosse team.

50:51

Oh, that guy's... There's

50:54

definitely an inside joke when

50:56

that shit comes on. Everybody's like, come on,

50:59

dude. Have

51:01

fun. Albany,

51:04

fuck. The two top

51:06

line items on the Albany sports

51:09

webpage. Albany

51:11

football is going to be singing alive as

51:13

a team. And then in

51:16

small print, only black guys transferred.

51:23

I can't deal with that shit, dude. Right?

51:25

Is anybody out there, you know? I

51:28

love Pearl Jam. Oh,

51:31

wow. Get

51:35

down with the shit, man. That

51:39

is kind of like a white anthem. It made

51:41

me wonder what song is the most associated with

51:43

white people. I feel like it's

51:45

all the small things. Oh, the song that's most

51:47

associated with white people. That's a really good question.

51:50

I would say... Any hockey rink

51:52

in America can sing all the small things.

52:02

I'm not saying you're a racist if

52:04

you sing the national anthem, but

52:07

you might be if you do the pledge of allegiance every morning.

52:11

Hey, I'm gonna roll

52:13

up over these like bio hacking kind

52:16

of like alt right bio hacking IG

52:18

pages and they're like rewire your brain

52:20

brush your teeth left handed and recite

52:23

the pledge of allegiance in front

52:25

of the mirror every morning. Five

52:27

tips to rewire your brain to

52:30

buy Donald Trump's book, unload

52:33

your firearm in the air and opens up

52:35

your chakras. When

52:37

you get up in the morning, when you

52:39

get up in the morning, the first thing we

52:41

want to do is get sunlight, get your blood

52:44

pumping, but that's the way we're hardwired. So I

52:46

want you to get outside, look around for the

52:48

closest vegan and then beat the shit out of

52:50

them, man. I

52:53

think we might have found another alter ego for

52:55

you. Alt right bio hacking

52:57

is awesome, dude. That's

53:02

Krista for long. No, it's Chaz long. Yeah, you're the

53:04
