Tonight lots to talk about.

Phenoms taking starting roles.

Position battles and more.

Got a lot to dive into.

So we'll do that.

Also remember, when you send those wonderful superchats,

help us 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.

Look who we got.

We got the illustrious panel.

Nevada Buck dev back from his illustrious vacation.

His surprise pop-up vacation.

So glamorous.

He's back.

Happy to have him back.

Fellas, let's start with you, dev.

What's up, brother?

How was your vacay?

Oh, good man.

Chillin' with the family.

Watch a little bit of basketball.

Didn't go our way, but still got to watch that.

Got to watch a little Buckeye hockey.

Hockey game going on right now.

But overall, pretty good man.

Excited that these boys get back from spring break.

Back at this upcoming week.

So we'll be sure to have some updates coming out more out of spring.

So excited to get back in the role of some Buckeye football, man.

We need some positive outlook in Buckeye nation.

Yeah, we do.

And it's about that time.

Spring ball about to pick back up.

Nevada Buck, man, how you doing today?

What you doing?

How you doing?

What's going on?

Well, I was doing good.

And then Devon drops a bomb on me before the show on the pre show.

And he's like,

Devon, I'm telling you this, J.J. Smith kid's going to be really good at Ohio State.

I'm like, Devon, man, you're bringing the heat, man.

You're bringing the heat.

There's something out.

I'm really excited.

I want to see this J.J. Smith kid come out there and see what he can do.

What numbers he'd, you know?

He's going to be like.

That's funny.

Number 44 and the baby.

There's some Lin swan's number or anything like that.

It was going to be two, but legend bays out playing them right now.

But that's not it, Nevada.

I have, I have another nugget that'll give you here shortly.

That's going to play on even more.

But you'll get it in that here.

You know, when a B says we can.

Let's let's go.

Yeah, before that, Nevada, update the people on what you're watching,

what the score is, what's going on.

We'll be monitoring it as we're doing the show.

Tell us what's going on about it.

We got women's hockey for the national championship.

The Ohio State was down to nothing at any end of the third.

It's now 2-2 and eight minutes to go in third and I am guilty.

Pleasure I am watching while I'm potting.

So we've got 2-2, eight minutes to go in the third for the national championship

Ohio State versus Wisconsin.

So I will, I will keep everybody updated.

You will not miss a thing because they scored no matter what's being said,

I will shout in the Buckeyes scored and yeah,

both 2-2, eight minutes to go.

Yeah.

So go, Lady Hockey Buckeyes in the Frozen Four for the championship.

We'll keep you abreast of that situation.

So in the meantime, in the meantime, I'm going to tell you a little bit

about my weekend.

Me and the wife had a nice little, you know, a date basically.

For you, for those married folks who, you know, young kids,

it's hard to date.

It's hard to go out and just have a nice dinner and we were able to do that.

So that was fun.

But we also went to a place called Smash Park,

y'all in Westerville, Ohio and I was introduced to

at Axthrolling.

So of course, I had the point to the camera afterwards.

Listen, I had a rough start at first.

I've never been an axthrolling.

There's a technique to it.

But it did not take me long to get it down.

As you can see, I nailed it.

My wife's pretty good too.

But that was fun.

Nevada, have you, you or Dev, have you ever been axthrolling?

I've seen it.

I've never done it.

I've just kind of associated me drinking

with throwing like big, related objects like that.

And I thought about it and I'm like, you know,

I really am having a hard time coming.

It was good, possible outcomes for that.

You know what I'm saying?

So I have to stay inside it.

So no, I have never done it.

But look at, be mostly, you can do anything.

You could like to ping pong, cool, waterfall.

Then you're an athlete, man.

Those athletes can just pick it right.

You're throwing hitting the bulls eye every time on that thing.

Yeah, listen, I'm very prideful when it comes to competition

and athletics and stuff.

And that's why I hate that I suck at golf.

And Dev is going to have to show me some things

when we link up next time.

But yes, my wife, she was good.

She actually, she's been extroying before.

And so she had to kind of tell me like, you know,

put it over your head and she beat me in the first round.

And after that,

pure didn't take long.

But yeah, that was dope, man.

Because some people think you can just throw it at the wall.

No, you can't.

You actually have to do it the right way.

Or it would just hit against the wall and drop.

But anyway, Dev, you said you've done it before.

I actually enjoyed it.

I thought it was pretty, pretty fun.

It is.

It's fun, man.

It might sound wild.

But like I did that as a little kid,

just growing up on a farm.

Always had an axe or a hatchet or something.

Just throw it, throw it at a stump,

throw it at the side of the barn,

get it to stick, whatever.

It's fun.

There's definitely a technique to it, dude.

But you look like, I don't know.

You look like Julian Sand.

How he looked through the back is great.

Bullseye, man.

Bullseye.

Got that quick release.

Mark Swicks said,

Bimosas don't make her a mad bro.

Yeah, for sure.

Because she does a mean axe.

So, you know, let me be careful, I guess.

I don't want no misery type movie scenes.

I was waiting on, I was waiting on the Nevada update,

but we just went down three to two,

Wisconsin Ford.

Yeah.

So there's the update for you.

I'm watching it as well.

All right, that's cool.

Well, we still got what we still got plenty of time.

So we just, that's why he's on mute right now.

He's fuming.

He's throwing stuff.

No, I'm telling you it, like, like this is really,

I must be like somehow, like a million years behind you,

because like, I'm still, I still got it at two to two

with six minutes and 30 seconds to go.

And they're still lining up for a fair soul.

Oh, sorry.

My YouTube TV must really suck.

I mean, I must be like way behind four minutes and 50 seconds.

Oh, my gosh.

I'm literally like.

Like, did you pause it at one point?

I'm sorry, I might, I might have, like, like, hold on.

Yeah, that's what I did.

Yeah, that makes more sense.

As I said, that's ridiculous, even for YouTube TV, bro.

That was way too much.

Oh, my god, I paused it.

I liked on the worst, the worst.

Well, Greg's let us know in the chat, too.

I saw it before he put it in the chat.

And I was waiting on Nevada to say something.

Well, yeah, I would have said, I would have said something

had I not had paused it.

Oh, my gosh, you could have bet me on the game, Devon.

I would have bet you're like, you're like a genius.

You're like a, like a swammy.

That was the moment.

That was your moment.

All right.

So, so listen, we'll keep monitoring the score.

Let's go ahead and get into some position battles,

some, some phenoms stepping up and all that good stuff.

And they kind of go from there.

And then just feel free to jump in, you know,

with the score up day, hopefully with the goal.

I know that soccer, but still whatever.

All right, cool.

So actually, Nevada, because I know Dev, you got some stuff.

But Nevada, I wanted you to start this off

and then transition to death so he can jump in

on the position battles.

Funky had a great post, you know, from his sources

about position battles with some young guys and some season guys.

You know, some things I think we're going to see

towards the end of spring ball kind of carry over

and to fall camp.

Nevada, I thought that was a great post.

What's your thoughts on that?

What are you hearing?

You can curve all that good stuff.

What'd you got?

Well, I mean, look, there's, you were always looking for names

of who the next players are and maybe some guys

that are flowing a little bit under the radar.

And it's kind of interesting when you hear it

from multiple sources.

If I'm hearing it and Dev's hearing it and Funky's hearing it,

you generally can kind of cross triangulate

and say that's going to be a pretty good player.

But the one thing I thought was really interesting

because this was not an any lot of people

talking about before the season.

And it's, it's Leroy Roker.

You know, you know, Roker's a guy that, you know,

you bring in Terry Miller, you pay him money

and you hope that he can be the guy.

And he may be end up being the guy, you know,

some guy coming off injury.

But Leroy Roker is a guy that I've heard from multiple people

is turning heads there to Ohio State

and, you know, could be, could be the guy.

I mean, he could be the guy next to jail on the claim.

Therefore, that, that, that safety spot.

And I just think it just speaks to how much depth Ohio State has,

you know, not saying it was lowly rated.

But, you know, it's, it's not like that's not a guy

that we've been talking about.

That's not a guy that, you know, as we're doing,

we're doing our depth charts.

So we were like, oh, wow, we can't wait

to see the great Leroy Roker that are playing it.

But I just thought that was an interesting name.

Coming out in somebody that is a fan, you know,

you're always looking at this, this podcast to be a little more,

just smarter than the average bear or a little more educated about stuff.

Remember the name Leroy Roker?

I know you guys are probably familiar with it,

but he's a guy that could definitely be a guy

that not only contributes, but plays a lot

for Ohio State this year.

And definitely someone I'd pay an attention to.

Yeah, yeah, um, let me, uh, I wanted to expand the pigs now working.

But anyway, yes, that has been sort of a surprise.

It's almost just like, how can I put it?

First of all, Deb, do you recall Roker's ranking?

Wasn't he either a high three or low four?

I think he was a high three star.

Yes, I thought he was a three.

And so listen, I'm even guilty of this sometimes.

Uh, because I'm the don't stargaze.

I appreciate everyone like Nevada, you know, um,

type guy, but I didn't, you know, do the Humpty Dance,

like funky when we got Leroy Roker.

I just didn't.

I mean, I was like, okay, I trust the staff.

They think he, you know, has some potential.

I wasn't celebrating like, oh, we got his one.

And I thought he was a, he was a low three star.

He was ranked number 155th safety.

Okay, there you go.

Nice. Thank you.

Thank you for that.

That just brings it home even more.

Now listen, he ain't done nothing yet.

Okay.

So we're not saying he's the next Caleb Downs,

but the coaches for them, what they're saying and what they're doing

and allowing him to break practice.

And we keep hearing that he's turning heads in practice.

He's leading.

That's a something like Nevada says.

So it's just like, wow, that is very interesting.

But it also, you know, points towards development.

Now we need to see it on the field.

But we've already seen signs last year,

because as Dev has pointed out before,

so eloquently, is that some of these players who left

to hit the portal, they were behind Roker.

Roker was seeing a fuel before them.

So and those guys were four and five star, four high four star kids.

So there's something there.

So anyway, that's my response.

I'm very intrigued.

I'm excited because to me, that's just like, that's found money.

This is like, okay, most fans have written him off.

Really, okay, he's just a depth guy.

If he can come in and start or be in the rotation.

And then you got more talented kids, highly ranked kids

that are still coming up with their talent.

That's just, that just makes the team deeper, Dev.

Yeah, it, it, Nevada is definitely right.

This is 100% of surprise to everybody.

I haven't seen anybody, Rick bringing his name up.

The only context in which people brought up

Lee Roy Roker is when we spoke about him.

He played in front of Faheem DeLane.

We really only got to see him come in and that Miami game.

That's not much of a, you know,

you know, it's not a lot to go on there.

But another reason why we haven't heard about him

is because we got Terry Moore from Duke, the, you know,

all American safety who really a lot of people had him

really up high on the transfer portal list.

But he was out for an entire season.

So we had some concerns on whether he was healthy,

coming in healthy, which he is.

But a lot that did get talked about is okay.

What does missing an entire year of football do to somebody, right?

So remember that as well.

We're kind of early and Terry Moore getting back involved in this thing.

But man, I heard this same thing.

The first person I heard it from was not a player.

So I kind of took it like a grain of salt.

And then I got told this, you know, when you hear things from players,

you should probably listen.

And when I got told this and then I saw Funky's update as well.

I was like, dang, man,

Lee Roy Roker must be really turning heads here and just goes to speak to the

developmental process at Ohio State because he didn't transfer out.

This is, he's going in his third year now.

So he's had plenty of opportunity to transfer out.

This is his third year or fourth year.

Third year, yeah, third year.

So hearing really good things, you know, as far as the leadership aspect,

he's really taken charge as a leader.

You know, he was the first player at the first spring practice

to give the team a speech.

It wasn't Julian Sain, wasn't Jeremiah Smith.

It was Lee Roy Roker who did that.

So, you know, that speaks a lot.

And it also just, you know, speaks to the depth that we could possibly have.

We'll see who wins out this starting role.

I kind of expected Terry Moore to start a little slow here because he didn't play for a year,

but still the fact that Lee Roy Roker is in this conversation with an all-American

safety who's already got the job done before.

I mean, speaks to the pedigree of player that he could potentially be.

And we should get excited whether he wins the starting role or not.

He's going to make an impact on this year's team already.

So that's exciting.

Yeah, I definitely agree.

All right, before we ask Nevada any update, is it still three to two?

Still three to two? I think it is.

It is still three to two, 90 seconds to go.

Yeah, three to two, but the houses got the puck moving around,

looking, looking to try to get the equalizer.

It's tax season.

Come on.

Being ahead of me there with this,

they've spent the extra 50 cents for the user.

Should have gone with it, man.

Should have gone with it.

Did you say 90 seconds left in the game?

What a quarter.

No, that's a game.

What a period.

What's the game?

It's a third period.

Yeah, it's a third period, so.

We might as well write this out.

Yeah.

Damn.

Wish your responses.

I'm trying to read your face.

It got intense.

It got intense.

It looked like we were about to get the job done.

Something has happened right in front of the goal right now.

I don't watch hockey enough to know,

but there's some people that are upset.

Looks like there's sticks flying around.

That puck is.

Did it go in?

No.

No, just they're complaining about something though.

They're complaining that she covered her hand on the puck.

Kind of like the last year that's what happened.

No, how state girl covered the puck with her hand.

Got a penalty shot called late and they were hoping

that would happen for Wisconsin.

You can't cover your,

unless you're the goalie,

another player can't cover the puck with their hand in the crease,

but I don't think that happened.

Do they review that?

They can.

They can.

That's what they did last year.

They reviewed it and got the penalty call.

So like, I mean,

if you try for it and you miss it,

then they get a power play the other way.

So it's not like,

it's just no harm, no foul on the years.

So it's a big,

it literally would end the game if they did that.

Okay.

So basically it's in limbo right now.

It's a lot of a lot of talk going on right now.

A lot of talking.

Okay, so did you want to jump in and then just interrupt?

If something changes,

we'll just, let's just keep on, keep on trucking.

Okay, review that.

She 100% grabbed the puck with her hand.

So you can do it out of it.

You can do it out of the crease.

You can't do it in the crease.

That's the whole key.

Okay.

So if it goes our way,

then, uh, then

also they're going to penalty.

Oh, I said we get a penalty shot.

Okay. Okay.

Okay. Which is what we want.

So keep us updated on that.

So real quick,

next item on the, um,

the funky nugget.

What other position battle are you intrigued by the most Nevada?

Well, I think what's interesting to me is just because it's the spring

is the running back spot.

You know, I'm saying like, like what's going on at the running back spot?

You know, you've got, you know, Isaiah West,

you've got Bo Jackson out.

So you've got a wide open room.

And so you just keep hearing things, um,

you know, obviously the legend based stuff is, is pretty,

pretty crazy and, you know, going full steam.

But what's them?

Why don't you all let you bake it because you're one.

But what are you hearing about the Florida transfer?

And what what are people saying about him?

Well, you know, at the running back position,

there's a lot of things that first off, it's a young running back room, right?

So at Ohio State running backs are asked to do a lot of things, you know,

to protect.

We saw CJ Donalds have come into Miami games specifically for that reason.

So I think when you're looking here, you know, you got Bo Jackson,

you know, he got Isaiah West, you know, they can get the yards for you.

You need a back to come in that's going to be, you know,

protect your quarterback, be a veteran presence in the room.

And I'm hearing like, you can be acting isn't only just that.

He is turning heads.

He's electric.

He's very quick, big and he's healthy now.

He's healthy is the thing that when I first spoke about him with the coach here at Florida,

that's what he told me.

He's like, man, people are kind of missing this here because he hasn't been healthy for quite

some time, but he's healthy now.

And people are talking about Legend Bay rightfully.

So because I think he has the highest ceiling, right?

And he has the versatility to go out and play wide receiver.

So you're talking, I think possibly about two different, you know,

positions there.

Highest state's not going to use Jacobi Jackson like they're going to use Legend Bay,

but Jacobi Jackson is looking, you know, really early right now,

but he is passing the eye test, passing the early spring test as a guy that can come in here and

be RB two or RB three is what I was told.

And that wasn't by some onlooker either.

That was by Nevada.

I think you always say that players, no players, right?

So I mean, that's something to keep an eye on there.

Jacobi Jackson, I like what I'm hearing so far.

Hey, real quick.

Well, first of all, Nevada, any update?

Are they done talking?

They're talking to come out to rule right now.

They got communication.

They're discussing.

Let's see what they say after review.

Unsuccessful, un-successful challenge, so that, I mean,

Ohio State gets a Benchminer for delay a game.

So literally now, I mean, that, I'm not saying that's the end of the game,

but it really, that they're playing a man down with 42 seconds to go down a goal.

And got a score.

So they have to score short-handed with 42 seconds to go.

That's, that's a lot to ask.

So real quick, how long does that last?

Well, that'll be the end of the game, like the game will end.

It's only 42 seconds.

That's a two-minute bench minor.

Two minutes, okay.

So typically it's, okay, okay, I got you.

I was just wondering how long that lasted in normal time,

but I guess that's, it doesn't matter now.

I'm just going to score short-handed with 42 seconds to go is it's going to be hard.

Not impossible, but hard.

Now real quick, real quick, because I'm still learning this.

Do you think, in hindsight, it was worth going after that, uh, that review?

Risky?

I, I think she, she was listening to her players who were talking,

they thought they'd covered it.

I didn't see it ever get covered.

So I, but I had the benefit of maybe better angles than they did.

And I think she was just thinking back last year when it worked for,

was constant that way.

And maybe she'd get the same luck.

But, and again, in hindsight, no.

Got you.

Got you.

All right.

So, um, so real quick, I wanted to respond to the Jacobi Jackson stuff.

And again, jump in if necessary, fellas.

Devon, wasn't it you who said early on as you were getting stuff from your contact?

That he's a really good pass pro guy, right?

Yes.

Jacobi Jackson.

So that is key and that is very, very important.

Because that's the type of stuff that's going to get you on the field more.

We learned that we learn that every single year,

guys who are better runners will get on the field sooner.

If you can protect the quarterback on third down.

So that's going to be interesting to see.

And then of course, um, you know, he, he looks pretty built physical.

He has speed.

I don't know how elusive he is.

I don't know if he's going to make guys miss,

but he does get north quick from what I saw in film.

So hey, if he can do that and move the chains, I'm cool with it.

Um, all right, fellas.

What's the update?

What's the update?

I want to be sensitive to it.

Oh, I just got called for another penalty because she was about to shoot into an empty net.

And so was constant.

It's going to win national championship.

Like I just go down.

Yeah.

Oh, well, that sucks, man.

I know they're going to be really, um, hindsight thinking about that,

about that review and about it.

That's going to be the big story, you think?

Yeah, that's definitely going to be a story.

I mean, it was a tall, tall thing anyway.

They had only had 40 something seconds of score.

So, um, yeah.

But, you know, hey, maybe it was worth a chance because, you know,

you get that preview and you obviously get a penalty shot.

And maybe you win and blah, blah, blah.

But, you know, very hard, very hard to do.

Yeah, I get the temptation for sure, um, for the opportunity.

But sad, you know, it is what it is.

They got away to the championship gang came up short.

So shout out to that coaching staff and those young ladies, um,

you know, great season.

So we kept you off the date real time.

That's never happened on the pop before that was, that was pretty good.

You guys got to, uh, live updates.

Well, four minutes behind from Nevada.

Uh, until, until the fast forwarded it.

Exactly.

I'm still watching the cotton ball right now against all my,

I mean, now, and we're only, we're only down three at the ball back.

So I think we got a chance for boys.

Who's going to tell us who's going to tell them what's all this negativity about the season,

man, to see the games not over to the games.

Oh, man.

Yeah, I was at the, I was at the Miami high state game with Nevada.

And he was on a delay there too.

I was at the weight a little bit to him.

Oh, man.

So, buddy, that is hilarious.

Listen, hey, can I say my, uh, my nugget that I got?

Yes, yes.

Kind of blow a lot of people's minds, but I was told today that in fact,

Julian saying does have a slight lead over Tavine St. Clair and the quarterback battle.

Yep.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Yeah, Nevada.

I don't know if you drop it on that.

If you're here, you're dropping dang, but you're dropping bombs that either dev.

You're dropping bombs, man.

You know, I'm telling you, this is unbelievable.

I don't know.

I can't believe this is a, this is a free podcast.

We should be charging admission for this thing here when you drop it.

No, it's like they have a never all kidding side.

Like, go back to Jacobi Jackson thing.

I'd heard from my Florida guy that they thought that he was a heck of a player when we got him.

I mean, I, you know, I wasn't quite sure if that was just like whatever,

you know, it was being nice or whatever,

but I've heard that from a number of people talking about it.

So, you know, and he'd flash.

He'd flash, you know, when he was healthy,

therefore, he had done some things.

So, it's going to be really interesting to see how he does.

Because I think he's going to be an interesting addition for us.

That I really do.

What's up, baby?

It's Bretski.

Yeah, he's number 24 going through those drills right there.

Look how big he is, bro.

There he is.

Right there he is.

Yeah, look at that.

Call out.

I was going to say, I just saw him go through the drill.

I'm like, man, he looks you.

I mean, he looks physically impressive.

I mean, listen, that doesn't mean anything to his to fill,

but look, I'll just, I'll say this.

When we got him, I was like, okay, cool.

We need depth, right?

But so I just kind of like, okay, whatever.

He, you know, we lost some guys.

I watched this film.

I was like, okay, he's better than I thought.

And then dev start hitting us with the information Nevada,

you know, for Miss people.

And it's like, you know, fighting through injuries.

I saw him here on this clip.

And I was like, man, this dude looks physically put together.

And then you got the pass pro prowess.

Yeah.

I mean, again, every running bag doesn't necessarily have to be a Zika Elliott.

Can you help the team?

Can you pick up yards?

Can you break tackles?

You know what I'm saying?

Like, can you pass pro?

Can you be a leader or that stuff?

So I'm excited about his potential to help this team.

Period.

I mean, that's just how I see it, fellas.

Nevada, you got anything on that?

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

There he is.

I just say in this era of NIL, when you see guys that stay on the roster like Roker did,

or you see the guys that are brought in from other schools like Jacob Jackson,

I mean, I'll have to say things they can help because everything is about immediate help.

Everything is about can you help the team this year?

So no, when they brought a minute, definitely got my attention.

I don't think you can afford just to bring in fifth and sixth running backs or development

pieces for the future.

Like, you got to have guys that can try to help you in 2026 is one of those years where they're

going for it.

And I think Jackson's going to be a part of it that I really do.

Now that's good.

That's good.

So let me, I was going to ask you your next sort of battle.

But I know which one I'm intrigued by.

I'm about to share my screen.

I created a little graphic real quick, you know, while I was on here.

It's funny how I be creating little memes real quick.

All right.

So here we go.

Here is the battle I am looking for.

Quaver saw and Zion Grady.

So listen, to me, when I say battle, I'm more so excited about the potential of these two.

Zion Grady has been and listened.

Dev, I know you've been getting information on Zion for a while.

Like, you know this cat, you got, you got the goods.

We saw him flash last season.

He's even bigger now.

Like his potential to really break through this year is great.

And then of course, we've heard about Quaver's all and him being injured,

but also being twitchy and kind of a freaky little athlete.

Not little, but you know what I mean.

And then of course, our resident Bama fan, Roe Tai,

has also backed that up.

So to me, the battle between these two is great.

But they're both going to play.

They're both going to play.

And the potential of these two really coming out and being speed demons off the edge excites me.

Dev, how do you feel about this?

This is one that jumped off the screen for me when I was reading that nugget.

Yeah, it is a very interesting one, man.

But you know, and I've heard the same type of dynamic with the battle that's going on between

these guys, but I think you're looking at two different types of defense events here.

You're looking at a 260 pounder and a 240 pounder, 6 to 240, 65 to 60.

So I think I'm not so sure they're, you know, I think it just depends on, you know,

what type of front we're going to be running.

I know that Maddie Peace probably going to do a lot of

penny fronts this year, five down and having to stand up lineback from curious to see if that's

just Quay Rousal or if it's Christian Ali Agro.

But all signs are pointing towards Zion Grady right now who has just took it up a notch.

He played as a freshman.

He was the number three defensive in at the end of the season last year coming off the bench.

People are trying to throw a bow acotince name in there.

He gained a lot of weight in the all season as well.

But I mean, the conversation I have had is, you know, Zion Grady is up there as well.

Epi is also in this battle as well.

But Zion Grady just seems to be, you know, leading the charge there.

But Quay Rousal at the same time is just an actual healthy athletic freak right now.

And that can't go unnoticed.

So very intrigued about how you use these guys.

And if you see these two players on the field at the same time this year, I'm intrigued about that.

Yeah.

And real quick, Dave, a question and a comment and I'll make the comment after my question.

You can answer.

Do you know how much weight Zion Grady gained from last season to now?

That's the question.

And number two, with his weight, even with the weight that you gave,

because I'm wanting to see was their increase.

Because to me, I saw speed out of Zion Grady last year.

I remember he got, he ran down.

I think it was a running back in the flat.

And I was surprised at how fast he got out there.

Because I know he's not like a smaller twitchy guy.

So I guess my question is based off the speed I saw in film,

how much weight did he gain if any?

And I'm wondering if that's going to slow him down and just make him a strong side defensive

end type of guy.

Because I saw some good quickness out of him off the edge, Dave.

Yeah, I mean, what I was told, he's one of those players that you might look at him

and see these different, but there wasn't that much weight added because he was playing at

255, 260 last year.

So we're talking about, I think I was told he gained eight pounds.

But you're not talking about a epi gained, I think, 15 to 20 pounds.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, epi wasn't too 40 something.

And now he's closer to 260.

Zion was kind of already there.

So I think they just worked on his body, kind of like you can y'all to Jackson,

what they did with him.

So I don't think he gained much weight at all.

Got you Nevada, want you to weigh in on this battle between these two?

Well, first of all, on the weight issue, like yesterday, I had like carrot cake for lunch,

you know what I'm saying?

And then I had dinner.

And then my boys were like, late.

It's like midnight and they're like, hey, it's good to stay in shake.

And I went there and I had a shake on top of that.

So I think I gained four pounds in this whole weight thing just in a single day.

Or something like that.

So there's this eight pounds in the off seat and 15 pounds.

Dude, this guy's got this guy's got nothing on me, man.

I'm telling you, you want to gain some weight and do some overachiever hang out with them?

You've got to get you in there with Mick.

He needs to know your strategy, man.

Well, my strategy is to eat whatever I feel like eating and

yeah, those shakes at midnight, those were bad though.

You should never do those.

I think that's the bad kind of way to think.

But I digress.

Let me go on.

Look, the Alabama kids, James Smith and Quarrisaw have both been terrific.

And just think about our history with Alabama transfers.

In general, it's been very positive.

And I just think these are going to be another two kids that,

I don't know how excited people are about them.

But I think they should be very excited because I think they both absolutely look the part.

And they certainly have opened eyes and people are talking about them at Ohio State.

And I think they're going to be big contributors in 2026.

But it should be no surprise because it's Alabama, man.

And those kids that out there, they've got players there.

Just like we do.

They've got players that I think these are two really good

kids for Ohio State.

And I know map nutrition staff are very excited about them.

And Zion Grady's in Alabama got two.

That's three of them.

There you go.

Yeah, good reminder.

Strawberry shake sounds good.

Yeah, that's so good.

I know.

That's so good.

No, I just told my wife the other day that I haven't had a shake in a while.

Like, I'm like, I need a shake.

Oh, I think we lost them about it.

We'll get them back in a second.

Maybe he went to go get a shake real quick and another stake.

You know, he likes to eat ribeye steaks during the podcast.

But, um, but yeah, I need to get me a stake and a shake.

But not from stake and shake because that wouldn't meet up to the standards.

But you know what I mean, um, but we'll get Nevada back in the second.

But there was at least one more I wanted to bring up

in this position battle.

A couple of names that kept popping up.

And let me stop sharing my screen.

And then, um, we'll get Nevada back when he there he is.

Hold on.

Nevada, are you back, sir?

Nevada, you there?

I was stake and shake calling man.

They wanted to come back for another strawberry shake.

And I'm like, okay, I'll do that.

I'll be there.

I'll be there in 30 minutes guys.

So I got like 30 minutes left.

And then I got to go have another shake and it's take it.

They're so good.

They need to start paying us for talking about them on this, uh, you do like this.

They're so good.

Man, they're so, they're so tasty.

Hey, real quick.

Do you guys, uh, in your, in your, um, areas of where you live?

Do you have a place called Shake Shack?

Yeah, okay.

That's a national.

I don't think the shakes are very good at Shake Shack.

That's my personal opinion.

But I know it might be a minority of you.

But like, when your name is Shake Shack,

you think you're shakes.

You better have good shakes.

But like, your shakes better just like be.

Fantastic.

And I like Johnny Rockets better than that.

I like, you know, Johnny Rockets is good.

I have Johnny Rockets.

It's got some great shakes.

And the burgers and stuff, maybe yeah,

but the shakes are outstanding.

Yeah, I have ahead Johnny Rockets in the mid.

I think we got one Johnny Rockets here.

Over by, um, um, what's the movie theater by, um,

by campus?

I used to go Linux.

Linux theater.

We got one over there.

But Nevada, we just got to Shake Shack.

Say hi, Dan.

Hey, how's it going today?

It's going good, man.

Tell us who you are and what you do.

I'm Dan Morgan.

I'm an attorney and a managing partner

at Morgan and Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm.

That's pretty awesome.

I think I saw Billboard years recently

that said that $20 billion won.

$20 billion is insane number.

Yeah, $20 billion recovered.

It's actually, I think,

somewhere north probably closer to 22,

23 after this year.

And each year we get bigger and better

and our army grows.

So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger

and bigger as time goes on.

Awesome.

So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan?

What would I do if I got into an accident?

Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law.

That's pound 529 from your cell phone.

Infliction is killing me.

What do you care?

Big retailers are making record profits.

That's why we support the Durban Marshall credit card bill.

See?

Things in credit unions help small businesses make payroll.

This bill would cut the vital resources they need.

While increasing Megastore profits.

They deserve it.

Don't they?

Tell Congress, stop the Durban Marshall money grab

for corporate megastores.

Paid for it by the Electronic Payments Coalition.

What has it been?

Four years?

It's still new-ish to Columbus.

So that's why I'm wondering if y'all had it

because I've never had her.

Actually, have I heard it before that?

I don't think I heard it before they came to Columbus.

They actually came in 2019.

So it's year seven.

But that's still new.

But anyway, listen.

Again, y'all got me talking about food.

I want some diagonal.

I want a shake now.

I've had it.

I thought good at Del Taco, man.

You can get chased.

I still haven't worked my way.

They got shakes at Del Taco too.

Anne Fry's, Anne Berger's, and yeah, yeah.

Wow.

I know.

It's really all sorts of goodness all in one place, man.

I'm not going to lie, man.

I make milkshakes.

Not a lot, but when I eat milkshakes,

I make them here at the house.

They're great.

They're great.

You guys want to send you on or you want to try it?

How do you do that?

They don't have the Gator shakes.

Like that.

Man, the first Gator eggs, they're going to bet.

Like, what do you, anything secret that you put in

beyond the normal stuff to make your shake?

Okay.

No, I, now I do do this.

I, I freeze milk like an ice cube tray,

and then I put chocolate, chocolate ice cream in,

with a little bit of liquid milk,

and the frozen ice cubes, milk ice cubes.

And I blended up and it gives you

like chunky, like it's like a chunk of frozen milk.

I love milk, though.

So I'm weird, yes.

That's definitely different.

I wouldn't have made it that way.

So I might have to steal that and see what's up.

Yeah.

You know, um, but again, uh, you know, it's just funny.

I'm looking at the chat now.

Some, some people are going after you,

we're not after you, Nevada,

but they're saying,

don't taco is yuck and nasty.

Dude, the, the, oh, yes.

There's the same people that like,

oh, I don't like it at all burger.

You don't bring your socks, you don't.

It's like, oh, yeah, yeah.

No, man, they'll taco rocks, man.

They'll, they'll taco is so good.

It's, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's the same

Swiss people together.

Yeah, that's, it is.

There are people that do stuff.

It's the same, like, it is like in and out flander, man.

The people that don't have it,

they flander it because they're like,

oh, I don't like it because it's not around.

And well, don't listen.

Don't talk to the lost.

I'm going to try to taco regardless.

I'm regardless.

I'm going to try it on my list.

But you mentioned in and out.

I've had in and out.

I think in and out is really good.

I don't, I don't know.

I might do five guys over in and out,

depending on how my appetite, but I like in and out.

But here's the thing with in and out though,

in five guys, but you got to compare.

You can get two hamburgers at in and out for the price of one.

Sure.

I'm five guys.

So like, you got, there's a, there's a value thing

that kind of goes into the equation too.

Because like a double double in and out,

it's like seven bucks or something like that.

And you get that at five guys, it's $15, $16.

So every time I go to five guys,

I feel like somebody's going in my wallet

and is ripping money out of my wallet.

And doing that, I feel like I'm being ripped off.

So I think I think you got to equate the,

you got to put the value thing in there too.

And real quick, you know how good in and out burger is

to a lot of people.

Guess who just went to in and out burger

after winning an Oscar.

Michael B. Jordan, he could have went anywhere

and he went to in and out and it's all over social media.

So it can't be that bad.

I mean, you know, no, no.

So all right.

So we are in and out of the topic.

So let's jump back in.

Oh, you like that?

Oh my gosh.

That was beautiful, Dave.

That was beautiful.

Chef's kiss.

So listen, I want to talk about these two names

and we can move on.

And to something else,

but these names keep coming up,

especially this one name.

And this young man right here,

with the golden smile,

look at that hair, right?

He's much more meaner on the field

than he looks in his picture.

Trust me, this is Peyton Pierce.

So in the nugget,

talking about first of all,

Shout out to Roddy Petty, John,

talks about how sources

continue to bring him up,

being out most of the spring,

you know, with his injury.

You know,

but other guys have been able to step in.

Riley Petty, John,

is not going to be talked about

as much right now because he's injured.

He is one of the top guys.

He flashed last year.

He hit somebody with a Captain

in St. Old Power Drive tackle last year.

You know, Captain in St.

Old Hill, no mercy.

That Captain in St.

Old.

So he's going to be really good,

but he's injured right now.

Peyton Pierce, he played a lot,

you know, considering he wasn't a starter,

but he was in the rotation.

So fellas, Nevada, let's start with you.

What you hear about Peyton Pierce,

what you think about that update,

and do you think he is going to get the green dot?

For those who don't know, green dot

is the guy with the mic in his helmet,

calling the defense,

talking to the coaches,

lining everybody up, Nevada.

Well, I just like the, I mean,

if you just look at recent history

and you look at a guy like

Arville Reese,

who kind of like the year before last,

you know, played a bunch,

but, you know, what the starter per say,

you know what I'm saying,

but played a bunch,

flash when he played,

did his thing,

and then this year has,

you know, gone on to become like,

he's from Krypton or something like that

and going to make,

you know, $100 million in the NFL.

I mean, I think there's a reason

why Peyton got as much time as they did last year.

I'm that great defense.

And that was a great defense,

make no mistake.

They played him a ton.

So to me,

that's all that I need to know about Peyton Pierce,

you know, on top of,

you know, hearing the good things from people

and everything,

just if you played that much on that team,

you're a baller.

And so I fully expect him to have a,

it breaks out in that,

move from being kind of a novelty item too,

a household name.

I think he's going to be a household name

by the end of 2026.

And real quick,

that Sunny Styles called him out

at the NFL Combine, y'all.

He was asked,

who is next?

And Sunny Styles said Peyton Pierce.

So you can't get a more of an

endorsement from a,

from a class five mutant,

like Sunny Styles, right?

So I mean, I'm going to be looking out for him,

Dave, what you got?

Yeah, I mean,

I think Nevada brought up a good point.

Remember, Arville Reese didn't play much,

but then came out and now he's going to be a top 10 draft pick.

Peyton Pierce, a lot of people,

for some reason,

want to act like he's not that athletic,

not that fast,

all those things.

But it's just like,

well, yeah, when you compare him

to Arville Reese and Sunny Styles,

I'm pretty sure every linebacker on this roster,

you're going,

is lacking in that regard.

If you're going to compare into those two guys,

but Peyton Pierce is going to be,

I mean, 100% starting linebacker.

And I think he's green dot worthy for sure.

This linebacker room

isn't a intriguing part of that.

Nugget was talking about Christian

and the Wisconsin transfer in Riley Petty John.

It grows, yeah.

Yeah, that's the first thing I heard in these winter workouts,

because as winter workouts not football still,

the players know,

right, linebackers coming in,

Riley and TJ both know he's coming in.

There's only one spot there.

Peyton Pierce has the other spot.

So are there some very intense battles

between those two in winter workouts

as much as you can battle in workouts?

They push that competition in those workouts.

That's why I think you see a lot of these guys coming out,

looking the way they look.

I mean, look with Riley Petty John.

I mean, just looks like an absolute monster right now.

And he was injured.

So his injury is not that wild.

People are like writing them off,

but it does hinder his ability.

Obviously in the spring,

can't do everything everybody's done.

But, you know,

another one hiding right behind those guys,

not far at all as TJ Alfred.

I just love what,

you know, Coach Laurenidas has done

with this linebacker room, man.

You can't replace Sonny and Orville individually.

But when you combine Peyton Pierce,

Christian Ali Egro, TJ Alfred,

Riley Petty John,

all and by the way,

Garrett Stover got Iron Buck high.

I don't know what that means.

I'm very curious to see how this linebacker room looks as well.

But based off workouts,

eye tests, what we're hearing,

we got some dogs in the linebacker room.

Curious to see how it shakes out.

Yeah, Alfred looks department.

He's fat.

Again, I know, I know it's early,

but he looks Jerome Bakerish to me, man.

He just does.

I don't know if he's quite as fast as Jerome Baker,

but he don't look slow.

I mean, he looks like a silent,

a sideline fast, twitchy,

rundown heel,

hits you with bad intentions, type of dude.

And so,

yeah, I cannot wait to see how these guys blossom

and who steps up.

But I definitely believe James Laurenidas

definitely got some dogs in his room.

And it's just only a matter of time for them to step up.

Nevada, any response to that?

Well, no, I just, look,

I think it's one of those,

it's a situation where you know,

you're going to, the best players are going to play.

You know that whether it be young guy,

whether it be transfer guys or whatever it is.

I just, I think that the spring,

this spring, you've got,

you've had more guys out.

So more guys are going to have an opportunity to play

and you've got more stuff for the transfers.

So I think it's just going to be,

you know, we're going to take it one thing at a time

with the, with these, you know,

the practices, with the strategies,

with what's going on here.

But we're going to learn a lot.

And we're going to know a lot going in the fall.

But I think our teams are going to look a lot

different in the fall because

we have so many different guys

are out this spring.

You know what I'm saying?

Like it's one of those things where

I'm not even sure, you know,

you know, I think the young guys are going to get a chance

to shine.

The new guys are going to get a chance to come in

and do their thing.

But for Ohio State, you know, I mean,

how do you evaluate that against a guy

like a Riley Petagion?

Who's not going to play, you know,

this spring ball because of injury,

you know, like, you know,

how does that, how does that affect him in the fall?

I don't know.

It's going to be that much.

I think they know what they have in Riley.

But I just think, you know,

this spring, this is,

this might be the most interesting spring

that we've ever had for me

just because of the number of transfer guys

and the number of guys out,

you know, from the fall.

So I think it's, it's wide open

and it's, you know,

it's certainly going to be exciting to see.

It is.

It is.

And so, you know,

I'm going to be at the spring game

and all that.

I'm going to be at the practices soon.

So I want to see these guys in person.

I have not seen Alfred in person.

Actually, you know what?

It sucks to be bored.

But when I get on my phone and play real

because you know games on spinquest.com,

I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod.

Say hi, Dan.

Hey, how's it going today?

It's going good, man.

Tell us who you are and what you do.

I'm Dan Morgan.

I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan and Morgan,

which is America's largest injury law firm.

That's pretty awesome.

I think I saw Billboard years recently

that said 20 billion won.

20 billion is an insane number.

Yeah, 20 billion recovered.

It's actually, I think, somewhere in North,

probably closer to 22, 23 after this year.

And each year we get bigger and better and our army grows.

So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger

and bigger as time goes on.

Awesome.

So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan?

What would I do if I got into an accident?

Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law.

That's pound 529 from your cell phone.

We are always open.

Our call center is always waiting to take your call.

24-7365.

Wow, Dan Morgan.

From Morgan and Morgan, America's largest injury law

from Thanks for coming by the show.

Thanks for having me.

Visit forthepeople.com for an office near you.

Access to affordable credit helps me pay my employees

that I don't really need it.

The inflation is killing me.

Who cares?

Big retailers are making a record profits.

That's why we support the Durban Marshall credit card bill.

See, thanks in credit unions,

help small businesses make payroll.

This bill would cut the vital resources they need.

While increasing Megastore profits.

They deserve it.

Don't they?

Tell Congress, stop the Durban Marshall money

grab for corporate megastores.

Paid for it by the electronic payments coalition.

I think I have been out of close.

Try to remember last year when I went.

I've seen some guys up close.

Like, shook their daft them up.

And some I didn't.

I want to try to see dev.

Try to make it happen.

Is Duke going to be at the spring game this year?

Do you know?

He'll probably be at the spring game.

He's not going to be at any of the scrimmages

they have beforehand.

But I imagine, yeah, he'll be at the spring game.

Yeah, if he's going to be there,

I want to link up with him.

I want to meet him if possible.

You will for sure.

Yeah, yeah.

So that's cool.

But anyway, I'm saying I have to say some of these guys

seeing them in person is a whole different animal.

When you consider their speed, their ability,

and you see them in person like, oh, wow,

he's bigger than I thought.

Or he's, you know, Christian,

been a Christian was one of those guys who I was like,

yo, this dude is a massive beast.

Like he's big.

He really six six.

Is he six six?

Listen, I am all of six four.

Some people think I'm six five.

Okay, yes, he is.

And he's strong.

I didn't know that either.

Yes, even when they were doing blocking drills,

his punch was very lineman-like.

I mean, you know, he's, he's,

he just looks like a monster out there.

Now, hopefully he takes another step of production

this year, Claire is gone.

He'll have an opportunity.

But I'm saying that's just one of the many examples

of seeing him up close.

And being able to say, dang, this dude is huge.

So, so anyway,

anyway, anything else on son of position battles

before we kind of close out with a quick little story.

Slash update, fellas.

Nevada?

Well, I just don't need to look.

I think, you know, we talked about linebackers.

Obviously, we talked about the running back position.

You know, wide receive.

You have tight end.

We have a little bit there on what I'm the hunter hunter

welching, being a guy that is an angle lookout

for I don't know how excited people are about the tight ends.

But you know, tight ends, I keep hearing it's going to be a

primary two tight end set for our state.

This is going to be a pro style more like the Rams,

not not 13 personnel, not 14 personnel.

But I think they like the versatility they can get

with with two tight ends and I think Hunter

welching to guy that could play and play early.

Yeah, I like it.

I mean, we have a history of success with 12 personnel.

I mean, go back and look at our tight ends from a higher man

and Vanette and I keep, I always forget the other kids name.

I went to Jacksonville, but he was a really good.

Was it horseman?

Jake, like, what was his name?

Somebody helped me, but he was a really good blocking

tight end back when we had JK Dobbins.

And, but anyway, 12 personnel has worked well for us

with just our attack, helping the, you know,

to block, especially if we're going to run more wide zone

this year, which it sounds like we will.

Silling the edge with your tight ends,

stud blocking tight ends is critical.

Think about, think about the national championship

against Oregon in 2015.

Remember, Nevada, I know you remember the WAM block.

We had higher men coming in and WAM block.

And I believe he was WAM block in the linebacker.

I believe I got to go back and watch the film.

It's fuzzy. That was almost 10 years ago.

But the point is having stud tight ends

who can come in and help in the run game is massive.

And so, and then, of course, if they can catch two,

then that's, that's obviously great.

But I think Arthur Smith wants to really utilize our tight ends

in the run game, open the run game up.

And, and just from there unleashed them

at an opportune time to be threats downfield as well.

But anyway, anything on that day before we move on

to the last thing?

No, yeah, Hunter Welcing is a name.

He's a friend of the channel man had him on here,

but he's one that caught a lot of people's eye,

especially route running, catching passes.

So kind of replacing that max clear type of threat.

A lot of people talk about Nate Roberts.

Hunter Welcing is the name right now, anyway.

And the wide receiver position, I was told

if you had to pick who's going to play beside JJ

and Brandon in his right now, the answer is Devon McQuinn,

the UTSA transfer very fast,

looking the part very comfortable.

And then the final name I'm going to throw out there

is we got two corner transfers, Cam Calhoun

and Dominic Kelly.

Obviously got Dremain Matthews and Devon Sanchez

as the starters, but Dominic Kelly.

And that goes against kind of what I've been reading everywhere.

I've been reading Cam Calhoun's looking like

the number three corner super early,

but it's not what I'm being told.

I'm being told Dominic Kelly is looking

like a player that they're going to have to find a role for

in some way on this team this year.

So we'll see.

Yeah, we shall.

All right, let me pull this up real quick.

Just a little, we going to touch on this real quick.

I thought it was funny, but it's also facts.

Shout out to the homie in Trenzig.

He posted this.

It says Michigan senior citizen head coach

wanted to stay at Utah, but they stripped

his responsibilities, essentially phasing Calhoun

winning him out and pushing him to a lesser program,

recovering from a slew of crimes, cheating and cover-ups.

I love that caption.

So this is from Yahoo Sports.

And it says, but before winning him resigned from Utah,

and long before he accepted a Michigan job,

he attempted to remain as coach in Salt Lake City.

However, in the week following,

the end of Utah's regular season, a string of emails

between Winningham's agent Bruce Toner

and school administrators outline start.

So the article talks about how Winningham wanted to stay.

And Utah was like, no, we'll buy you out

so you can bang out, peace.

We done here.

And so I made a meme, of course, for in Trenzig.

And this is a Michigan fan grabbing the trash can

at their scraping the the food off of.

Yeah, go blew our first choice, baby.

Was it your first choice?

We like Kyle Winningham, but he's a little far in his career.

If this was Kyle Winningham 10 years ago,

I mean, Nevada said, yo, OK, you might have you won.

But this is a transition coach in our opinion.

This is because of where he's at in his career.

Great guy, really good coach in general,

as far as his overall resume.

But Utah, they had a chance to keep him

and they said, now we good.

So Nevada, what's your thoughts on this?

Well, I've already heard from people close to Winningham

that the whole discipline thing at Michigan

isn't what they won't allow him to discipline

the players the way that he wants to.

And so it's a whole different thing.

So I do not believe he'll be long for the job.

Obviously, that's not a hot take for a guy that's 87 years

old or whatever it is.

But, you know, yeah, no, I mean, clearly, he's

a guy who lost his fastball.

He's a guy that was really well thought of for a long time.

He was very revered up there at Utah.

Not the same guy.

So the guy, you know, it's kind of like looking at, you know,

Raquel Wilch, when she was like 21 and you look at her,

when she's like 65 and you're like, you know, this is not,

this is the same person, but it's not the same person,

you know, I'm saying that's that's kind of how it is

with, with, with Kyle Winningham.

He's not the same guy that he was before.

And, and, and now he can't even discipline

the Michigan players the way he wants to.

So this is, this is going to be a very interesting experiment.

Indeed, Devon, what you got, bro?

Yeah, I mean, Kyle as a coach, when the, you know,

I thought it was a good hire, good coach, all those things.

But the one aspect to this that threw me off

is that story of him retiring or him getting fired.

And, and whatever it was, there was a little bit of confusion

there, right?

And of course, when it all was said and done, you know,

they were like, well, he just, he wanted to go coach

at Michigan, you know what I'm saying?

But I feel, I didn't believe that when the first came out.

So to hear this, not too surprising to me, honestly,

I mean, but that was the intriguing part

where this could go an opposite direction for them

is if he was a guy that was losing a little bit,

Utah didn't want him or he was at the end,

kind of the end of it here.

And all these changes in college football

or just kind of overwhelming to him, you know,

kind of had an inkling that could also be in the cards.

But we'll have to see, you know, it's a,

it would take a very special coach to walk into a program

like that and to, and succeed.

So I'm not sure how many coaches there are

in the nation that could with what they got going on there.

I wanted to mention one more thing, a little bit off topic B.

Let me know when I can do that.

Go ahead.

I want to shout out RJ Day, man.

RJ Day played for SFE at OT7 with CJ Cypher.

CJ Cypher's probably going to be number one overall player

in the 2029 class, quarterback from Georgia.

But RJ Day, man, lighten it up seven on seven.

I did just seven on seven Ryan Day was there.

And in Miami for the OT7 event, I went to it last year,

couldn't go this year.

But RJ Day was killing it, man, lighten it up.

So I wanted to give him a shout out.

So real quick, I have a prediction.

Nevada, Dev, chat world.

I have a prediction.

You ready to hear it?

Let's go.

Here's my prediction.

OK.

RJ Day and two years were portal to a house state.

You heard it here first.

Demos is dropping.

Oh, man.

He's going to kill it.

He's going to kill it at his respective school he commits to.

And he's going to transfer to a house state.

Play with Papa.

Play with Papa.

The day boys out there just cooking.

You're just trying.

You're just trying to up my Julian saying nugget I had earlier, man.

That's all you're trying.

I had to one up you.

Is that a one up or not?

I think that's pretty impressive.

It is.

That's up there.

Yeah.

Because the thing is, yes, still he met.

He's improving a lot.

Like the trajectory he's on, he has a chance

to be a really good quarterback.

I'm just saying.

You just never know.

You never know.

All right.

Let's get to these super chats, man.

Let's get to these super chats.

What's up, baby?

It's Bretski.

And I'm here to tell you that spinquest.com

is giving out three sweet coins.

From Morgan and Morgan, America's largest injury law

firm, thanks for coming by the show.

Thanks for having me.

Visit forthepeople.com for an office near you.

Access to affordable credit helps me pay my employees.

But I don't really need it.

Infliction is killing me.

What do cares?

Stilly Matt, thanks for the $199 Swiss Miss Moses golf.

I like that one too.

Pro, Dev, and Nova, Scotia, Buck.

Stilly Matt is the goat with nicknames on the spot.

Nicknames on the spot.

Nobody does it better than Stilly Matt.

I like it.

What you got, Dev, you like that?

I like it, man.

I like the little golf symbol there.

I'm all of a sudden a pro.

No, I'm not.

But compared to me, you are.

OK.

What you got, Nevada, you always, you know the Nova Scotia Buck.

That's the state.

I am that's definitely one of that's old school.

I like it.

And I like the fact that the Swiss Miss thing is going to hung

with you there because you are kind of a,

you are kind of a Swiss Miss kind of guy, you know what I'm saying?

Yeah, it definitely has hung with me.

But again, I was rebuked by Ryan Day himself

or those who have not seen this.

This is live footage of me out in the snowstorm,

drinking my hot cocoa with way too much whipped cream

for the average person.

No, no, that was that's a perfect amount of whipped cream.

So and this is something else I want you all to notice

about this picture.

Can y'all zoom in?

Do you all see the cup I'm holding?

Can you all see the people on this cup?

Can anybody see that?

This little fun fact, Dev or Nevada?

Can y'all see that?

Yes, yeah, I can.

Yeah, who's on the cup?

I don't, I can't answer that question.

OK, it looks like it looks like I can't all for something

like that.

I see that.

So so listen, quick story.

That is DJ Jazzy Jeff, you see what the glass is on.

Oh, DJ Jazzy.

Yes, and that is Ashley next to him.

And that is me Photoshopped at the bottom.

So listen, real quick, I posted, you know,

I edit and Photoshop and do stuff.

I remember a few years ago with a Fresh Prince,

they had a reunion show.

Anybody remember that?

They had a reunion show.

And they had a picture online where all of them

were together for the reunion.

And I loved Fresh Prince.

So I went and I edited it and put myself on the picture.

And it kind of went many viral, got a lot of laughs on my Facebook.

My mother-in-law, who's very thoughtful for Christmas,

got me a cup made with that Photoshopped picture.

So that's me drinking out of that cup.

I love that cup as my favorite cup.

But I wanted to share that story because I just love

the whole story.

But anyway, again, I know that was like crazy, like whatever.

But y'all, whatever, you're just going to listen to my stories.

Anyway, it was a great story.

It was great.

Thank you.

Is that the one where Will was being hustled

by the pool hustler?

And then the dad came and pulled out a stick

and did the pool thing and won the pool game?

I mean, that's one of my favorite episodes

because Uncle Phil, he said, he said,

Jeff from New Zealand, New Zealand.

Yeah, he said, give me a little seal.

And dude, look, I was like, what?

And just start a body and do.

That was a great episode.

But I love Fresh Prince.

I'm a Fresh Prince guy.

So anyway, anyway, let's get back on topic.

Another in and out burger right there.

We got to get back on it.

All right, we'll be gotten next.

OK, still be mad.

Thanks for the one and nine.

What's worse, the hammer or the ax?

Let's ask Thor.

I think about Thor.

When you saw what I saw that comment,

I thought about Thor.

And it wasn't in game.

It was the one before in game.

Was it called Infinity Wars.

Remember, bring me Thanos.

And he had the ax and came down with it.

That ax was fire.

I don't know.

What's your response to that?

What's worse, ham or ax?

I immediately, this is the way my brain works.

I immediately thought, if I put my hand down on the table,

when I rather somebody smash it with a hammer or hit it

with an ax, I think I'm going to go with the ax.

It'd be a nice clean cut.

It'd be a nice clean cut, you know what I mean?

The smash.

Dude, that would hurt.

I don't think you repair that.

Big old sledgehammer just smashed down.

They have to cut it off anyway.

So just cut it off now.

So you want the Jamie Lannister work then.

That's what you want.

You want the Jamie Lannister in Nevada?

That's what he wants.

A clean cut.

Yeah, just a nice clean Nevada.

What you got?

I don't understand why they didn't just let Captain Marvel,

who's got the power of the sun, just take out all that stuff.

You know what I'm saying?

I mean, you got Hawkeye out there shooting arrows

and doing a bunch of different stuff like that.

And I'm like, you got Captain Marvel's got the power of the sun.

And he was just like raking fools, like they get it all set back

and I Captain Marvel do the work, right?

That's a, that's a good point.

That's a good point.

You got a guy who can just freeze time and who's that guy?

You're so much strange.

Yeah, I don't know.

Yeah, no, it's Marvel.

See, you know, these riders, they can do whatever they want to do

and they can emit whatever they want.

Like they can just leave stuff out for the sake of their narrative

and they can add stuff.

Oh, they didn't die because in this galaxy, they were alive.

You don't be like whatever, but it was entertaining.

That's all that matters, I guess.

But fair question, Nevada, I think that's very fair.

Stilly Matt, thanks again for the 199.

Lady Buckeyes played Notre Dame Monday at the shot.

Yep, I definitely saw that.

So Gold Lady Buckeyes.

I saw a highlight from, I forget the young lady's name,

but she did a nice little euro step in the paint,

like juke this way and then came back with the shot.

Okay, all right, then.

So yeah, Gold Lady Bucs, hopefully they can make the sweet 16,

anything on that dev, or Nevada.

No, excited.

If you were a woman's basketball player at your age right now,

how good would you be?

Would you be like best woman's basketball player

in the world right now?

Would you be like a WNBA player?

Would you be like Olympian?

I'm talking about right now, be Moses,

just drinking your Swiss soft chocolate,

heading right off the bench, going out there.

How good of a woman's basketball player are you right now?

I've said this before, I would be Joanna Man.

Has anybody seen the movie Joanna Man?

I mean, just unstoppable buckets.

I mean, just ridiculous.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, ladies, but it just wouldn't be fair.

So, so there's that.

I feel the same way and I'm only 5'11.

I feel the same way.

Yeah, maybe I shouldn't say that, never mind.

I mean, bro, I'm talking about like coming down court,

throwing it off the backboard and dunking it.

I mean, just like crazy clown and like,

I'm sorry, Susie and Katie.

I gotta, I gotta kill you right now, sorry.

But yeah, that's what it would be.

That's my final answer.

Final answer.

Final answer, be Moses,

register in the basketball player.

We've settled it.

That's settled five as far as I'm concerned.

Now, my email is already blowing up right now

from complaints of, you know.

But after you, would you have to do any training first?

Because for me, dude, I would just be so wore out

after like three or four times down the court.

You think you just run out there right now?

No, no, I wouldn't need, I would need to get in shape

to be fair.

Yeah, okay, but you, okay, put like this.

If I just ran out there now, it wouldn't be 35 and eight.

It would be more like 27 and six.

You know what I'm saying?

But we're gonna get trouble.

We're gonna get trouble.

All right, I'll stop.

Let's move on because I'm already gonna get, okay.

Dear Mr. Moses.

Dear Ricky.

This podcast, you're misogynistic.

What would your wife and your daughter think?

Okay, listen to this one.

All right.

Can't smell misogynistic.

I'll be Moses.

Moses.

Moses.

Oh, Jesus, I'll get myself in trouble.

I love you.

This is just entertainment, okay.
