Book our scoop family, book our nation was good.
I see y'all in the chat going hard. Per usual suspects.
We're going to dive right into it. We're going to talk about a generation or five store
to a house state. A house state. Excuse me. Fina, it's a familiar name.
And there's been some updates with this prospect. We're going to talk about as well.
And so, remember when you send us one of our super chats, it helps to go towards the pay
afford, which is our military and our first responders. We're going to look out for them because
they always look out for us. Nevada. What's up, man? How are you feeling after this weekend?
Busy sports weekend. And, you know, I know you got some stuff coming up. What's going on?
Yeah, just, you know, kind of sad that Ohio State to make the sweet 16.
But, you know, hey, we're in this spring football. Lots of great things going on.
And some recruiting stuff really starting to pick up for the black eyes as well.
You know, the Ohio State brands never been hotter. And, you know, they announced today,
Jackson's 5th and Jigba is now the highest paid wide receiver in the history of the NFL.
I think it was like 120, 130 million guaranteed 42 million a year.
This is a point of reference, Justin Jefferson's at 35 million a year. So, that's 20% higher
than Justin Jefferson for the great Jackson's 5th and Jigba, you know, unbelievable,
accomplishment. And obviously, all those things, whatever that happens, my first lot is always,
how does that help Ohio State? And the answer is, you know, considerably because, you know,
all these guys want to get paid. They want to develop. They want to go on to NFL riches. And,
you know, it looks like, I mean, what's Jackson's 5th and Jigba going to make in the NFL? You're not
$500 million dollars for something before he's gone. I mean, that's what you want. That's the eye
on the prize as opposed to an extra 100,000 here, an extra 100,000 there in NAL money, you know,
developed the culture over cash. And, you know, great day for the black guys with Jackson's 5th
and Jigba and a great calling card for Ohio State recruiting in general. Yep, reaching the
agreement with Seattle on a four year 168.6 million contract extension that now makes it
in the highest pay receiver in NFL history. Like Nevada said, the deal of averages, excuse me,
42.15 million per year and includes over 120 million guaranteed both setting records
for any wide receiver. So, yeah, listen, this is what we do. We do this, man. And so, for those who
thought that, you know, Brian Hartline leaving would just, because there have been some hot takes,
Nevada, of, oh, man, you know, we're about to fall off. Now, I don't, I ignore scum fans. They
always, you know, try to cast our doom. They've been casting our doom since, you know, Tressel was
here, but even just some non-hater fans, like, oh, well, it's over. Not so fast, my friend.
Not so fast. We talked about this. Brian Hartline has had the power of the black hole behind him.
And remember, the ride receiver coach before him was a pretty good recruiter too. I mean, we've
been wide receiver. You, we've been duking it out with LSU and other schools for wide receiver,
you for a long time. So, don't think things are just going to stop because Hartline is gone,
especially when you got stuff like this happening, which is a good transition. And I will pull this up,
Nevada, into the generation 05 star phenom that we are referring to. And who is that, Nevada,
you want to get into that? That'd be a jet Harrison, which, first of all, jet Harrison is one of
the great football names of all time, you know, I'm sorry. It'd be like, if your name wasn't,
wasn't brand-in, but it was like, be hops, Moses or something like that, or
Holy Moses. Holy Moses. I mean, like, hey, mom and dad, you shouldn't name me holy, that'd be great.
But yeah, jet Harrison is an absolute fabulous name. Obviously, the son of the great
wide receiver, Marvin and Harrison senior and the brother of the great Buckeye, Marvin
Harrison junior. So, you know, the early word from Ohio State, I mean, this has been kind of a
continuing thing, but the word from Ohio State is that they, you know, confidence is high,
that jet Harrison is going to be a Buckeye. The word that we've gotten over the weekend from
jet Harrison's camp is that's the way that that's turning as well. So, this would, you know,
a very familiar name for Ohio State fans, but this is a player that's come in probably much more
you're heralded than brother Marvin. I mean, because I mean, Marvin came in and I mean,
I'm not saying he wasn't recorded a good wide receiver, but it wasn't like, oh, wow,
like this guy's the next, you know, next big thing. Franky Cowell McCord was considered a higher
recruit than Marvin Harrison was. It was almost like, hey, this guy's almost like a package deal
with his quarterback and this and that. The other thing like that, you know, it's funny how those
things turn out, but yeah, jet Harrison, the next great Harrison wide receiver, now a five star
five star wide receiver, and definitely a guy that I could see Ohio State adding to their
to their wide receiver hall here, you know, coming up relatively shortly. So, definitely good news
coming on on the recruiting front. For sure, let me go out and go back into these highlights.
But yes, jet Harrison is an incredible name. That's just stupid, like stupid, like fire, like
that's a video game name. You know, when you're like playing Madden or something you making
a creative player, that's a creative player name. And so I'm gonna pull those highlights up,
but you're right. People forget, Marvin Harrison was like a four star,
four star kid, good prospect, but you know, is he overhyped because of his name? I mean, you were
getting stuff like that throw in with Kyle McCord or that. But let me ask you, Nevada, because I
know you watch jet and I'm gonna pull him up now. But I want your thoughts on the differences. I
know the differences. Some of the differences I see and also see some similarities with him with
Marvin. But there's some things that I feel like he is just low key better at. Jet is over Marvin.
And so I wanted to get your thoughts on jet and then I'll jump in.
Well, I mean, to me, you know, I mean, the one knock that I would have on Marvin, if you can,
if you can possibly make a knock on a guy as great as Marvin Harrison was at Ohio State. I mean,
you know, sure, he hasn't gone to the NFL and completely, you know, torn it up, but, you know,
12 or 14 TDs in two years, you know, 14 high yard, you know, 686 yards this year despite only
playing 12 games. But I never felt like he was a big speed kind of guy, you know, like a guy
that could kind of blow the top off there. And I just, you know, he, you know, jet just looks
twitchier and faster and more fluid than Marvin did. And, you know, Marvin was a great tactician,
you know, great catch radius, really strong guy. But I think jet's more explosive. And I think
he's a guy that could play in a number of different positions. And I think he could play in that slot,
that Jackson Smith, the jigsaw spot. But I also think he's a type of guy that could take the top off
on the defense. So to me, just a little bit more, a more athletic Harrison, which that just sounds
kind of crazy saying that. But that's how I, that's how I see him and be interested to hear what your
perspectives are on jet Harrison. No, I agree. I think he's clearly more explosive. But he also
high points the ball just as well as Marvin Harrison was because Marvin Harrison in his high
school film, he did a good job with 50, 50 balls. But also, look at the route. Let me go back here
to about right here. Look at this route coming up. Hold on to the next clip.
All right, here we go. Check out this route right here at the bottom of the screen.
Boom. And he gets held like stuff like that to me is just like, okay, yeah, because Marvin
Harrison was very fundamental, very solid. He's bigger than jet. Jet is only six one. Let me see,
six one one seventy five. Marvin was like 16 and a half six three, you know, in high school,
taller, but his brother is high point in the ball just as well. His route running looks
great, but he does look twitchier and more explosive. And so obviously with the smaller size,
that might, you know, lead to that. But still, I mean, he might end up having a higher
ceiling than Marvin Harrison. And clearly, he's a five star. The rivals has him as a number one
player, right? So I mean, look at this. Boom. I mean, he's just, he's running east and west to
get north with great speed. He doesn't drop balls. I mean, to get him to come here, because you know,
a lot of times you'll see not a lot of times, but sometimes you'll see some legacies or brothers
say, I'm going to, you know, I'm going to do my own thing. I mean, if jet does come here,
it kind of, to me, Nevada, you can tell what you think. It kind of, um, confirms like, you know,
what? Like my brother was treated very well at that school on and off the field. It's a great
program. Hey there, it's Ryan Seacrest for Safeway. It's stock up savings time. Now through April

at what'sthedamage.org brought to you by Virginia DMV. Because look, honestly, sometimes these
family member brothers or whatever don't end up going to some to some schools because they like
my brother was that was not a good situation low key. The public might not know it.
You know what I'm saying? So anyway, I'm just saying if we able to get jet here who might be even
better, that just shows how dope the program and that's without heart line Nevada your thoughts.
Well, yeah, I think that would be a great endorsement of kind of for life after heart line that
you could land, you know, receiver of this category. But you know, if you're jet Harrison,
you'd have, I mean, Marvin would have had to have had a really bad experience. So I say for you
not to want to come here. You know, I'm saying, I mean, because all these, these guys are not stupid.
They're looking at and kind of going, okay, Jackson Smith and Jigba, Garrett Wilson,
Crystal Lobby, Margaret Harris and Noah Brown. I mean, just go on and on and on and on down the list.
And you got the best one up literally the best one of the bunch in J.J. Smith is the next one.
So I don't, I mean, you never like to say that anything's a mortal lock when it comes to
recruiting because there's a lot of elements in there. But why on earth would you gamble with
your future? Because coming to Ohio State is a sure thing. You know, bar and injury,
you're going to have a great career. You're going to go on to NFL Richards and that's what these
guys want to do. You go anywhere else and it's, I'm not saying there's no chance. I mean, that
means ridiculous, but it's less of a, there's a greater chance that it doesn't turn out the way
that you want it to be. And you know, Marvin Harrison senior was obviously a very cerebral guy,
Hall of Famer, you know, Martin, you know, Marvin Harrison, you know, Jr. certainly has,
has out surpassed his high school recruiting ranking in terms of where he was wrapped, the NFL
draft and the kind of situation he's put himself in there. So I would, you know, it'd be shocking
for Jeff to go short of, you know, there'd be just one of the things where you just don't want to
go into brother's footsteps. You just don't want to go the same place your brother, but we're not
hearing any of that. And I think that's really the big story. We're not hearing any of the,
hey, you know, I just want to go blaze my own trail. Hey, I don't really want to go to Ohio State.
Hey, Marvin did really have the best, you know, contrary to what you think. He didn't really
have a great time at Iowa. We're hearing none of those things. And that again, you know,
that gives me that much more confidence that that Jett Harrison's going to end up as a bucket.
Yeah. And so let me ask you, I was going to kind of go into a spill, but I want to tee it up for you.
What is the common denominator, Nevada? What is the, and I'm a touch on really quickly in a second,
another receiver we got coming in, who could have left, who could have whatever, but, you know,
they seem to be doing things to double down or being a Buckeye even more. I'll touch on that
briefly. What's the common denominator for a Jett Harrison and his family to want to stick and
stay even though the all world, you know, why receiver coach is gone. To me, it's Ryan Day, you know,
I'm saying to me, it's Ryan Day. And, you know, the fact that Ryan Day, you know, if you think
about what could screw up a wide receiver and what could screw up a wide receiver's development,
and that is, you know, don't play in a system that throws the ball or don't play in a system
that is really effective at throwing the ball and it gets the best quarterbacks. And
you know that Ryan Day is going to have the best quarterbacks. And that's, you know, I think
that's just kind of that extra security blanket that you have there. And, you know, as a wide
receiver, that's why, you know, the quarterback position in college football is overpowered because
when you get the good quarterbacks, well, you get all the other good players because then
everybody else wants to come there. And you most certainly get the best wide receivers because the
best wide receivers want to come where they're going to be throwing the ball to. And, you know,
when you've got, you know, the list of quarterbacks that we've had in the recent past and then
a current roster where you've got Julian Sainte, you've got Taving St. Clair, you know, you're getting
the ball. It's going to get thrown to you. It's going to get thrown to you often. And, and
Ryan Day is certainly the, he's the competent nominator. He's the one thing that's there that's
not changed about Ohio State. And another reason why I think J. Harrison ends up a bug guy.
I agree. You said it. I didn't even have to say that and that was not rehearsed. I knew he was
going to say that because it's the truth. And so, you know, he just, he knows how to not only that,
but the off the field stuff. I've heard Marvin Harrison and interviews just praise Ryan Day.
Because even Ryan Day and interviews talking about his son, he wants him to go somewhere where he
know he's going to be taken care of on and off the field because that's what he does. And so,
I mean, all these relationships and things like that with Ryan Day at the helm, just being a legit,
like there's nobody. Nevada, I know your contact, your people, people I know, you know, that no
Ryan Day, like really no Ryan Day, nobody be like, man, he's really a deback behind the scenes.
Don't get it twisted. Like he sucks. We hate him. Nobody. I mean, every now and then there might
be a disgruntled parent whose kid didn't play. But like Ryan Day is that dude. He's the common
denominator for sure. And so, that's just, I mean, as long as we have him, I think the players and
parents know, regardless of who leaves, we're going to replace them with somebody just as good if not
better, which is powerful because a lot of schools in Nevada would crumble losing a heartline.
Like, do you think they're real quick? And I'm going to pull up a quick clip of something. But
let me ask you, is that an overstatement to you that other schools, most other schools would crumble
losing a a stud recruiter like Heartline? No, I don't think that's, I mean, look, Ohio State was
concerned about it. So, so concerned that they gave Hotline the offensive coordinator position,
even though he wasn't really ready or qualified to do it. But no, you know, but and and again,
I'm going to say this very carefully. That's why I'm enjoying every moment at Ryan Day's here
because look, I'm sure, you know, you can say, hey, the school's bigger than Ryan Day. And of course
it is, you know, you've gone from Woody Hayes, you know, in Cooper and Jim Trustle and Urban Meyer.
Yeah, you go down most of great coaches in Ohio State, but it's not guaranteed that next
step is going to be as good. You know what I'm saying? So, like, I want to enjoy every moment that
Ryan Day's here because it's just, it's sureity, you know, it's sureity that your offensive scheme
is going to be first right. It's surety that you're going to be able to get great offensive
and defensive coaches to come work for you. It's it's sure that your academics are going to be
in order that you're the quality of kids you're you're getting is going to be great that your
cruding is going to be first rate that you're always going to have great quarterbacks. You're
always going to have great winters here. You know what I mean, there's just a lot that comes along
with Ryan Day. And will we survive when he inevitably moves on whenever that is? Of course,
but I don't want that to be soon because again, Ryan Day represents just a a guarantee of greatness
for Ohio State and that you can't really say that about a lot of coaches and college football.
Yep, preach, but you know, you'll still have people who want to fire, but it is what it is.
That's just pretty much the world we live in, but I'm glad he's here too. This is Jermere Brown.
I have on the screen and they're seven on seven. I'm bringing him up because he's another kid.
He's in the 2027 class. He's the number one receiver in Ohio, top 15 national player,
five star, a stud stud stud. Very fast. I will call him a friend of the show. He's been interviewed
by Dev. I lost count. He's been on the show. Great kid, hard working kid and an Ohio product.
And I mentioned this as far as double. I said earlier, doubling down. He moved from a Uber Heights
Wayne where Braxton Miller went closer to my neck of the woods here in Columbus area to a
high school called Big Warner. Now, like I said, I said this before. I don't I forgive you were on
the show Nevada, but you know, programs have like over the past 20 years or so being in the Columbus
area. There are some programs who have went down and some that have went up. Big Warner back,
we scrimmaged him in basketball. We scrimmaged them. I can't. My junior year, senior year.
Anyway, we played at Big Warner and they went like that. Like their program was cool. They were
solid, but they weren't like a powerhouse. So I was surprised when I heard he moved to Big Warner.
But then some others told me they they've been really good in recent years and you know,
they got a good program and stuff like that. But anyway, the point is Big Warner is not that far
from Columbus. So he was interviewed and asked why he did that. And one of the main things he said
is so he can be closer to Ohio State. I know there were some who were concerned about visits he
might take in Heartline leaving. But this kid Nevada doesn't seem to be wavering at all. In fact,
he's putting his money where his mouth is by moving closer to a program so he can be closer to
Ohio State. I mean, that's his words. So I mean, this is another five star stud that could have left
and demanded top dollar with Heartline leaving. And so this is just more proof. Now listen,
obviously, there's time between now and signing day. But the evidence says he's not leaving
barring something crazy happening. And so then you got jet in his family who's a stud and we're in,
we're still in on, you know, the monsoons and the other guys. So I'm saying I have to say I'm
landing all out for y'all. It's not over till it's over. But the evidence right now shows that we're
still pointing in that trajectory. We ain't stopping this while receiver recruitment drain Nevada.
Well, yeah, no, it's, you know, I think for Ohio State, it's, you know, you've got such a great
reputation and, you know, it's a great place for anybody to develop. And I think Ohio State
isn't, you know, you're not breaking the bank and I know, but they're not taking a backseat.
You know, they've got their focused kids where they're putting out real money. I mean,
JD Smith is making real money this year, Julian saying that they're going to real money. I've built
they'll pay guys for production and, you know, getting them in there and they'll develop the heck out
of them. But for a kid like Jamira Brown, I always look at, you know, how, how is he reacting with
the other recruits? And he's the guy who's one of our lead recruiters. He's the guy that's
going to believe recruit. He's one of the guys who lead recruiting on jet Harrison. So it's like,
you know, I look at that and kind of go, well, you know, that's the kind of guy that I want as
black eyes and it gives you a pretty good indication of where they're where they're parts at,
where they're heads at in the sole process. But when they're out there trying to sell,
Ohio State and other people as well, to me that really speaks volumes.
Yeah, man, I'm getting excited thinking about these future kids because I told you I'm a
huge David Gabriel, George's. Hey there, it's Ryan Seacrest for Safeway. It's stock up savings

barring something crazy happening. He's going to be a book guy. So imagine the speed on the outside
with that type of NFL back and just the talent we got coming in. I guess what I'm saying, y'all,
is I always preach this. And so does Nevada. Appreciate what you have.
We are recession proof as you can get. We don't stop. I'm telling you, there's been fans from
other fan bases like, man, a heartline going, you're done. For real? You think so? Yeah, I don't
think so. And that's not going to heartline. It's just we just we're not, we're going to do whatever
we need to do to stay on top. You know, I'm saying a higher, you know, whatever. And so just
depreciated. I'm telling the Nevada like we I thought about a Jay Z song. It's the it's called
the Medley intro. And before he starts rapping and he's he's like mocking people asking like,
well, he ever fall off and he comes in like no. And then he starts spitting and he starts rapping
his verse for those who know it's it's classic. You know, I don't talk about that's a how state.
It's like our haters is like, aren't they ever go fall off? And we'd like no. And then we hit
you with the bars. I mean, that's just how it is. And so appreciate what we got y'all in this
football program because we are on the heck of a run as far as consistency and just being elite.
And obviously we all want more natties. But three in my lifetime is more than a lot of programs
can say Nevada. Yeah. And and you know, you sent me into David Gabriel, George, like that's a guy.
I said this before, but I bears repeating. I know I say get excited about every recruit. And
then I don't get sad about any way. But if we don't get him, I'm going to be sad. He's really,
really good. He's really, really good. If he goes somewhere else, will we survive? Yes,
will football continue to be played? It's most certainly. But we've led this recruitment for a
long time. We've pulled out every stop on this one. I feel it's like right where we need it to be.
And I really feel like we're getting him. And when we do, I'm going to be I'm excited about every
group. But I'm going to be really excited about that one because I agree with you. I agree with
you. I think that kid is a big time player. And you know, I feel like you need that. You need that
at the running back position to really be, you know, like last year, if I had a criticism of
our team last year, and you know, it's, and again, I know I'm spoiled from having Trey Henderson
and Quintran Jackins year before. But I didn't feel like we were really explosive at the running
back spot last year. And in Bo Jackson's good and in a thousand year. And I know all those things.
But was he, was he great? And we expect kind of great at Ohio State, you know, those guys that
every time they touch the ball, you feel like they could take it to the house, you know, and that's
how I felt. Trey Henderson, every time Trey Henderson touched the ball, I'm thinking he could house
this, you know what I'm saying? Like, and if he gets a little cruised, he's gone. I didn't feel
that way last year. And I want to feel that way again about the Ohio State running back room.
And frankly, I don't know if I'm going to feel that way about the running back room this year.
Because, you know, I think Bo Jackson, Bo will most certainly be better, Isaiah West will be better.
Jacob said, isn't really that kind of a back? And maybe legend bays that guy, you know, maybe
legend bay is that guy that can kind of make those things happen. But David Gabriel George is
most certainly that guy. And I want to see him in Scarlet and Greg.
You brought up some things that trigger some thoughts. I had a discussion with some buddies
in mind about this. And we'll get to Super Chats. We're going to have a, a harder stop tonight in
a little bit. And we'll get to Super Chats. But Nevada, you brought up some things that we discussed.
So here's the deal. I think one thing that contributed to the lack of explosion in the running
back room is James peoples did not step up and do what we all hoped he would do. Right? Running
back out of Texas, we saw really good speed on film and planning against good competition. I mean,
physically he looked apart, you know, early on, you know, in the spring. I mean, he was doing well.
He was looking like he was going to be that guy. And it just never came to pass. He made some
progression throughout the year. You know, he leaped over a guy and he started to wake up a little
bit and be solid. But he wasn't, we need it more than solid from him. James peoples were supposed
to be the guy. And then, you know, the other guys chip in. So with that said, Bo Jackson, a true
freshman had to be the guy. And then of course, CJ Donaldson was a short yardage guy, whatever
past pro guy. But Bo Jackson was our best back. And he wasn't quite ready. He was coming off the
injury. You know, like all of that takes time to get your legs under you. Now, with that said,
Nevada, here's the other thing me and my guys were discussing. And I'm not saying he's equal to
this person. But I saw similarities. And what was lacking? JK Dobbins, his freshman year. He had a
great freshman year. Remember, he was called jump cut Dobbins. I mean, he was. But his freshman year,
he was getting walked from behind at times. But guess what? He improved on that. He got faster.
And he wasn't getting walked no more. I mean, when he was gone, he was gone. I'm pictured the
Clemson game. And that in that inside zone play, nobody was catching him. But his freshman year,
he probably would have got walked maybe. Same thing with Bo Jackson. Bo Jackson to me is a really
good back. He has good vision. He leans forward. He gets north very quick. But he got walked. Okay.
He needs to to get what Mickey. I'm sure he is. This injury's not helping. But I think just like
JK Dobbins, he can improve on that Nevada to where he is a breakaway back because he was almost
there. I mean, like, who was it against? I forget the team. But it was a 60 yard play all the way
down to like the three yard line. And he showed it was up the middle. It was he squeezed through the
hole and exploded down field. I'm like, ooh, but he got walked. So if he can do like JK and just
get to that another level of speed and endurance and ability physically to go all the way,
I think he can be that guy because we see that he has it. But he was only a freshman and every
freshman is not going to be trade Henderson with the speed. But I have hopes for Bo Jackson to take
it to another level of like where he can be really, really, really good for isn't about any thoughts on that.
Well, you also remember that Bo was coming off a pretty significant injury from his senior year.
You know, I'm saying. And so one year removed from that, you're not going to be as good as you're
going to be two years from then. So to me, that's the big thing. So would have loved to see him in
the spring, see how bouncing and springy is. But again, you're nursing a little bit of injury
unrelated to the high school one should be back, you know, full going the summer and then the fall.
But I think it's a great point. I think he absolutely got it. I mean, he was that way in high school
in high school. Man, he was crazy. You know, I mean, he was just running away from guy. So I
absolutely believe he can do it. Now, I think I thought he was really close last year. And if you
pick some, even just a little bit of speed, a little bit of explosiveness, you know, you know,
a little bit back, you know, running a little bit sure, you know, again, last year, there's no way
he's running the same reckless abandon coming off an injury that he will be this year. You know,
his confidence is going to be at a completely different spot. So no, I think it's a it's a good
thing that we certainly could see more out of them and hopefully we will.
Yep. And then one other thing before we move to superchets, the wild card within Nevada's
explanation and criteria is turbo Rogers. Turbo Rogers has plenty of speed. Is he ready? Does he
have the vision? Can he protect the ball? You know, is he able to be relied upon? Because we
haven't really seen turbo play in a game. We just know he was highly rated snatched him from Alabama.
He's a twitchy fast, you know, fast guy, but he has the ability to take it to the house.
But is he able to do that within the confines of being a running back? You know, I'm saying because
it's not like you just handed the ball and it's just a straight line with nobody to tackle you.
You said I'm saying Nevada. So what about turbo real quick?
No, I look, I, I, you know, turbo's one of those guys that it's hard to get too excited about him
because we just haven't been able to see him on the field. But, you know, the players know
where the players are and you know, they say he's twitchy, they say he's fast, you know, certainly
he's high school film, you know, it's reflective of that as well. So he's okay. He's absolutely a
wild card. And again, as I mentioned before, Legend Bay, another wild card of this thing, you know,
what kind of guy like that do with the ball in his hands? But yeah, certainly, you know, turbo would
be one that would that would be a nice surprise into 2026 if we get something out of turbo Rogers.
Oh, man, it, I mean, to me, I feel like he needs to, I mean, like, listen, you didn't play last
year, you've been in, you're the most experienced Ohio State running back on the roster as far as
that's available right now. Like, you know, because, you know, Isaiah and, um, and Bo are not,
are not practicing. So you got to step up and lead and do your thing and, and carve out some play
and time. I mean, come on, man, let's do it. I want to see it. All right, real quick, uh,
keep Gordon happy birthday. Said he's checking in live from Daytona Beach. Oh, that sounds nice.
Nevada, it was 85 here in Columbus yesterday. Kids out riding their bikes. We're throwing the
football around. I might even have white, white, the little bit of sweat. And then it was 30 this
morning here in Columbus. That's crazy. Bro, and then supposed to be like 40s, 50s and then go back
listen, this is just Ohio weather. This is what it is. Hey there, it's Ryan Seacrest for Safeway.

I've been here all my life. I still, to me, it's not like I'm used to cold and snow, but
it's the fluctuation. I don't know if it's like that anywhere else other than the Midwest,
where Asia's goal is 85 to 30 to next day. Ridiculous. So I envy you, Keith Gordon.
I hope you're having a great birthday and we appreciate you. Anything on that Nevada?
Yeah, happy birthday, man. Enjoy Daytona Beach. Nevada Buck is going, I'm going to be in Buffalo
the rest of this week, starting tomorrow. I'll be in Buffalo. What's the weather? I guess it's
going to be cold. I haven't even checked the weather. I'm assuming if Columbus is going to be cold,
a bit of Buffalo is going to be cold too. So yeah, Tuesday through Sunday for for Nevada,
Buck and Buffalo, New York. All right. So here we go. So tomorrow in Buffalo, New York,
a high of 34 Wednesday, 48 is the high. Thursday goes up a little bit. A little rainy, 57,
Friday, back down to 33 and then snow on Saturday, 34 degrees. Now, I don't know when you
banging out of there Friday or Saturday, but well, it's not Saturday. It's the national
championships for hockey for for high school and my daughter's playing. And so it depends on
whether they win. If they keep winning, we'll be there. If they lose, I could be out of
there earlier. So hopefully we're still playing on Sunday. That would be that would be good news.
Yeah. Now, it doesn't look like it's going to be like typical Buffalo crazy. Like when you look
on TV at the bills games, like, man, this is crazy. It's not going to be something like that.
But still going to be low chili, chili up in Buffalo this week. But it's all good. You're there
for a great, great cause. Still, he Matt, member for three months, shot out the Scoot family, the Axe,
master B Moses and Helsinki Nova Scotia, Buck. That's right. I'll post in my, um, go ahead.
I'm Buffalo, I'm Buffalo Buck now. I'm Buffalo Buck. To be fair, um, he didn't, he posted this
before you announced you were going to Buffalo. Yeah. This is so. That's right. So you know,
you know, he'll be on it. He would have been on it. I'll meet you. You know what I'm saying? He
probably on it right now. He probably sent it one right now. As we speak, our guy's still
be bad. Um, it's funny. Um, I was talking to my wife. I was like, I posted my ax video. And she's
like, um, she's like, you tell them that I taught you how I was like, yes, did I told them that I
quickly passed you by after a round or two because she did. She had, she went, she done, uh,
ax thrown before I did. So I'm like, okay. And she's like, well, you got to do this. Put your arm
up. My art cool, cool. And then I start getting it. But she's a little competitive as well. We
got a competitive house. So, um, you know, when it comes to activities and sports and about
them. Well, yeah, it's, it's, I won't even ask your wife learn how to throw the ax before you
did or whatever it is. But I just, I just can't get over the fact that like, I mean, I know axon
is a thing and stuff, but like axon and drinking it, like, like, there's just gotta be like so many
accidents and stuff. And people get hurt bowling. If you can get hurt, bowling, you can sure
that get hurt accidentally, right? Yeah, I just, I'm sorry, the play on words when you said accident,
you know, just putting it together, you know, accident, but I'm here all week. No, but I mean,
listen, I thought about that too, because the place we win is called Smash Park for you Columbus
people. It's been Westerville. Bro, it's actually dope. And about it, they got, like, uh, they got
pickleball courts. They've got shuffleboard. You ever heard of the, uh, uh, duck pin bowling?
You ever heard of that? Actually, actually, when I was in, when I was in Halifax, I was, I went
duck pin bowling. That's where somebody had ever done it. It was candle pin, candle pin bowling
or duck pin bowling. Oh, I guess duck pins different candle pins, like the thin pins and duck
pins are those fatter pins. But they both have small like balls. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Yeah. Okay. So similar. It's similar. Um, they had an arcade, um, a few other games and stuff
like that. So it was cool. It was a nice little date night with the wife who was fun. But I thought
the same thing about it. I was like, man, you got these axe throwing lanes. You got the, you
know, alcohol on tap, obviously, just, you know, people are goofy. And you just, you know,
so I don't know. I don't know. We were fine. But I did think about that. Like, man, who, they,
they got like some secret security behind the door waiting to jump out or something.
Good, good, good insurance. And I tell you what, you got to do that, that duck pin bowling,
those, those small bowling balls. I tell you, kills, kills your arm. Like your arm will be hanging
down by the next thing. You'll be like, Oh, man, that's really everything. That's just wrecked,
wrecked your arm. It can be deceptive because they're, they're heavier than they look.
Yeah. Sure. Um, but yeah, it was fun. It was good stuff. All right. Um, let me see.
What I'll tell you, you still be mad. Thanks for what I mean. Okay, low, low,
buck, see? He was, he was typing as soon as we were talking, typing. I love it, man. All right.
Geo did thanks for the five with Jet Harrison wanting to be a buck guy with other elite
Y receiver targets favoring us. It shows you how good a Y receiver coach Cortez Hankins is.
Kudos to Ryan Day. Now, uh, Geo, Dan, we were told he was a bum and he didn't develop people and
bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep. That's what we heard from people. But anyway, no, Hankins, again,
Ryan Day and his receiver room, um, all was like, yeah, that's him. We'll take him.
And so, um, great hire and so far so good. We keep getting more signs Nevada. Again, it's early.
Things can change. But I don't think they're going to change. I think he was a good hire.
And we keep seeing evidence towards that Nevada. Well, yeah. And if we get Jet Harrison,
if he commits this week, B Moses and I are going to go over Niagara Falls in a in a barrel over
there at the out of Buffalo, you know, I'm saying that in celebration of that thing, we'll do the
thing. We'll film it. I think you put on the YouTube channel and everything like that. What do you
think, B? Did I think it would go viral? I mean, um, that's it'll be our last video, you know,
but it'll be, it'll be epic. We'll go out with a bang, you know,
do that.
If he was like, you was like, what happened to people that I've been over in the middle of a barrel
with the battle buckle with the Niagara Falls? I've never seen Niagara Falls. Have you ever been
in Niagara Falls before? I haven't. I haven't. I haven't. I haven't. I've never seen it before.
So I'm looking forward to seeing it. Yeah. I've heard me and my wife entertain going, you know,
we're like, well, we're going to, we're going to go this year type stuff. And we just didn't end
up going. Um, I don't know. It's one of those things where I need something else to do. Like,
I'm not going there just for that. I need something else. So if we do go up there, yeah, you know,
I'm saying, if we, if we do go up, maybe we'll like go to Canada after that or like, uh, like into
Canada, you know, I'm saying and, um, or whatever, but I'm curious to see it, but not that much,
if I'm not doing something else. But yes, I'm sure you're going to have pictures of video. So I
hope you enjoy that for sure. But speaking of enjoying, we always enjoy y'all. Got a short night
tonight. Got a, got a, you know, hard stop tonight. Got some things we got to bang out. But
hey, great show. We'll take Jet Harrison. We'll, we'll take them another stuff. I receive

JJ Smith, Angelo, whoever, come play here at our house. They any last words before we bang out
Yeah, no, Jet Harrison's that it's a good one. This is one. You definitely got him on
commitment watch. And we're going to be monitoring this one closely. But yeah, this would be a great,
a great get for our state and a great indication that the, uh, the train keeps rolling along.
Absolutely. All right. Man, I was just about to let y'all are silly. Um, everything, he said,
everything I learned about Canada, I learned from South Park and that blame Canada's all in
pop to my head. Y'all are crazy. Um, yes. Um, but that is hilarious. But anyway, until next time,
