Patriots GM can't keep it straight when asked about A.J. Brown.

Hey y'all, I'm Maddie, and I'm Poodle, and together we host the podcast Reality Gaze.

We are two ridiculous homosexuals who love nothing more than talking about reality television

and tearing it a new one.

So whether it's 90-day fiance, love is blind, love after lock-up, or any other trash

TV show about lonely hearts looking for love, your gay besties got you covered, Joe.

New shows every week.

Follow and listen to Reality Gaze, wherever you get your podcast.

Yeah, there it is, bar yard, stand my ground, Joe.

You come back down.

It's okay.

No, I'm here.

No, I'm here.

And the gates of hell, that sounded like last night, Philly's game, 13 or two.

That was crazy.

How many lines can you hold at once, is the question, Hugh?

Well, I'm at two right now.

Yeah, I mean, that might be the breaking point, the next thing we generous to say that

it hasn't broke already.

No, I mean, obviously, yeah.

No, I'm here.

Well, the Philly's line is a little stronger.

It is only getting worse now going into five.

The Philly's one is an actual line.

Yeah.

It's a joke.

It's not.

It's done.

The deal is done.

I've been trying to tell you this.

He is a patriot.

Two, one, five, five, nine, two.

Not my eye.

Right now, does he feel more like a patriot or an eagle?

To me?

An eagle.

Uh-huh.

I'm sure he does.

Does he?

Let me ask you that this one.

Would you say plus?

I would.

Does AJ Brown right now feel like an eagle to you?

Yes.

He does not feel like an eagle to me.

He does.

He does because.

I'm fatically.

It's missing.

Not even close.

I hear everything that you hear, and it does not sound the same to me.

Nothing that any of them said is definitive.

Well, no one's going to say anything definitive.

I mean, so that's why it didn't do, well, I'm not, well, I don't see the lines that

you're reading between.

I don't see a lot of them.

Because you're holding too many lines.

No.

I just see a bunch of goofy gyms talking.

Now, the gym from the Rams, he, he basically, that's what you do.

You call you, you, you, you vet the situation, you, he may, he, he did a pivot.

He said he did a pivot.

The other dude, the GM foot, wasn't that Elliott, Elliott Williams or whatever the hell

is the wolf?

Elliott Wolf.

He's a goofy.

He's a goofy.

He just don't.

He sat there.

He looked like he was a deer in the head.

Like, you know what?

He knows what to say.

I got news for you.

The bad act.

How he's goofy, too.

No, how he is so goofy.

No, how he is so goofy.

How he is.

He is sadby.

100% man.

How he is a sadby talker.

Yeah.

Remember when he tried, this before you got here, how we went on a media tour after that

drafted hurts saying he was just a cheap backup.

It was.

I don't.

Yeah.

Well, you know what?

A lot of people bought it hook line and sink or I was like, what are you guys talking

about?

How is the best GM football?

But he's a goofy guy.

Yeah.

You know, he could be a goofy.

He's a great GM.

He can speak.

He can, he can speak though.

Because he, how many times he pulled a co-cerion is fire, making out on a fire.

Well, now, now, Nick's a goofy.

I was like, goofy.

Don't you, don't you find it kind of funny that he was like, well, how he's a very

savvy talker.

Even Elliott Wolf are saying the same exact thing.

Like, line.

It's the same line.

It's not the same line.

It's the same line.

It's the same line.

Let's play it again.

I'll read it to.

I'll read you to how he won.

We'll play Elliott Wolf.

Okay.

Here's the how we quote on Sunday.

Quote, I understand that there's interest in the AJ Brown story.

I unfortunately don't have a home under a rock.

But my answer to any question on AJ Brown is AJ Brown is a member of the Philadelphia

Eagles.

Let's now hear Elliott Wolf yesterday with K Adams.

The AJ Brown story keeps getting connected to New England.

You're smiling.

Yeah.

Is there anything to that?

Are you interested at all?

AJ Brown is a member of the Eagles as how we mentioned yesterday and we haven't had any

conversations about anything regarding that in a long time.

In a long time.

Okay.

You guys heard it here from Elliott.

Well, first.

Not only did he say the same line.

He quoted how he.

He didn't.

He didn't say the same thing.

He said we haven't had a conversation.

He said how he said it.

He didn't.

He said we haven't had a conversation the same thing.

A long time.

That was the last line.

And K Wolf even said we're over there smiling.

She trying to make it more than what it was.

But he first said AJ Brown is a member of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Because he is.

That's that's a.

Which is also what.

And how he also said that we haven't had a conversation in a long time.

Did you hear anyone yesterday say Matt Safitt was on the ramps?

As anyone this week said that Caleb Williams on the Bears, why are we saying the obvious?

Because there's been a lot of trouble.

This story has has created a life of his own.

And what I hear like shout out to all the reporters and the people that have way better

connections than I do when it comes to this story.

But all I hear and this is I'm being totally honest and this is why I feel the way that

I feel.

I feel a whole lot of in you window.

I hear that and also hear a story that they just keep it just keep they just keep giving

it life when it doesn't have any life because they have nothing else to talk about.

That's how I hear.

Well, so you can be totally out like no disrespect to anybody that's talking about this.

But when I hear Joe to be totally honest, I just hear people trying to keep the story

alive.

Well, but I also hear GM's that could change the story.

Like I just give an example.

How he Roseman could have walked, flown to the owners meetings in Arizona.

He was in front of all the media on Sunday and said AJ Brown is a member of the Eagles.

And we can't wait to see him at training camp.

He off season program starts in a few weeks.

He will be in training camp.

He will be on the field for the Eagles in week one.

He can say that and he time he wants.

I tell you the one thing and how we would never do is paint himself into a corner.

Nah, he could just get out of it.

He can't he won't paint himself into the corner.

He said players were like fingers on his hands and he traded cars in weeks later.

I understand.

I understand you coming from and you make a valid point.

But with this situation, I don't feel it as it's to the level that everybody else does.

I just don't.

Every time I hear any one of those pundits talk about it, any one of the four horse of anybody,

I hear they're always leaving themself and out.

Sure.

But how we could change it, like I just said in the beginning, if he wanted to end it,

he ends it.

He doesn't want to end it because I believe they've already made a trade.

I think this thing is done.

You know what I think?

I think that there is, okay, there has been AJ Brown trade talks.

I will admit to that.

Oh, finally.

No, I admit to that.

And I've never said that.

It wasn't.

The price that the Eagles are wanting for him is not being met.

Maybe.

Or being met.

Or they've already agreed to a deal.

It's been met.

It's not being met.

I don't believe that.

I don't believe that.

And that's why it's still a story because they're still giving it there.

All right.

Let me ask you this.

So Elliott will join us coming up at noon.

And I'm going to ask him this question because Jeff McLean wrote a story yesterday about

all this stuff, right?

How it's still the talk of the of the owners meetings and everything out there.

And this line was interesting in Jeff McLean's article, quote, good memory yesterday we

played Cereani and there was like another question and he just like didn't answer the question.

Right.

He was at first asked about AJ and he said he's an equal.

And then there was like someone tried to follow up on AJ and he kind of just moved past

and it took someone else's question.

I'll try to pull it up.

Okay.

So Jeff McLean wrote about and I couldn't hear the voice in the cut.

Maybe it was him.

Maybe that's why he knows exactly what this question was going to be.

Jeff McLean wrote about what the follow up question was or maybe he just heard it.

I don't know.

But he wrote about what the follow up question was going to be yesterday that Cereani didn't

answer.

So we have the audio.

All right.

Well, do you have it?

Kyle's listening.

Yeah.

I'm trying to make sure that it's at the end.

Okay.

I'll give you the cereal.

I'll give you the cereal.

I'll give you the cereal.

I'll give you the cereal.

I'll give you the cereal.

Yeah.

Everything.

Nothing's changed there.

AJ is an equal.

Nothing's changed from the last time I spoke to you guys.

Yeah.

That's where we are.

Sorry.

All right.

No, no.

No, I think that was it because I heard I heard the question.

It was it was kind of low.

I don't think the question hit us yesterday.

Did you guys hear the question?

He said, well, AJ Brown be a trainer campus.

Well, no, it was so voluntary workouts begin on April 20th.

So this is what Jeff wrote.

I think that was Jeff asking the question.

Jeff wrote about it this morning.

He asked that question.

He was kind of low there.

But Cereani's response to you expect him to be at voluntary workouts was he's an

eagle.

Was it?

Well, nothing's changed.

Was it?

Yes.

But he said nothing's changed.

Do you expect AJ to be a voluntary workouts?

Now, I will give you this.

But why didn't Cereani said?

He said nothing's changed.

He didn't say yes.

Nothing's changed.

To me as yes.

He was as the yes or no question.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

No, but get the yes or no answers

there's usually an angle today.

Because Joe, this is this is still fluid now from his perspective, from from from

his knowledge of this situation, At the time he was asked that question, nothing

has changed.

That's fair.

I think that's fair.

I think we are caught up in the semantics of all this.

I have not heard anybody.

All the cuts that you've played.

That this was a done deal nobody I would contend that we're doing the opposite of this

We're not the semantics what they're saying. I'm not buying for a damn second the AJ Brown is an eagle. That's semantics

I am I am so you're stuck on the semantics. We're stuck on the reality. I'm stuck on what's being said right

That's a man. I live in I live in the yes and no words

He said nothing has changed because okay, so when he was asked that question was AJ Brown a eagle

Like seriously was he he went into he went into he went into his script. Uh-oh. I'm asking AJ question. Nothing's changed. AJ's an eagle

But yes or no Nick nothing's changed. Joe so when he was asked the question was AJ Brown an eagle that's what I

That's all I'm asked. All right. Let me ask you this. It's a lot of people ask you for money and you're like, huh?

No, when people ask money, you know what I say Kyle with a straight face. I don't have any I ain't got it

So I know you on that I know when it comes I know I knew we go with that I ain't got it

The two one five. Let's go back to the phone. So let's react to all this the Phillies

Ellie is gonna join us last Kim war about this coming up at noon including we'll get to what Ravel said at the

AFC coaches breakfast morning the Phillies though and AJ are here's where I'm at I think the AJ deal is done

I think he's a patriot and we're everyone's just kind of pretending I believe it following scripts out in Arizona except you can't see the script

I believe I have the script in front of me. He's in he's a patriot already and I'm Jennifer and I'm Angela Kinsey and together

We have the podcast office ladies just because we finished rewatching the office does not mean we're going anywhere every Wednesday

We'll be sharing even more exclusive stories from the office and our friendship with brand new guests

Plus you can revisit all the office ladies rewatch episodes every Monday with new bonus tidbits before every episode

So follow and listen to office ladies on the free Odyssey app and wherever you get your podcasts

The Phillies are you sure they're going to be okay? I'm not Lisa in Horsham up on WIP a Lisa

Hi, how's it going guys Lisa? We're just arguing about semantics and nonsense. How are you?

Yeah, I wish I could be as solusional as it sounds like you as well

Real I am concerned about the Phillies

Um, yeah, I'm sorry you please don't take it. Okay. No, I'm not taking it. You got what I don't understand Lisa

What did they say that makes you definitively think that AJ is gonna not gonna be here? I mean, I'm I'm I'm curious

What did you hear them say

You're right today. I'm not said anything definitively is the AJ and they're it's more of a reading the

It's like it's the reckless speculation that honestly I learned from you

Okay, but okay, so what what do you see? What do you what have you heard that makes you feel so stronger that he's not gonna be here?

It's the same repeated line like I understand why how you had to get Fioriani in a room and tell him a hundred times

How to answer the same question, but when I'm hearing it also on the Patriot side

I'm wondering why we all do we all get the same email do we all get the same script?

It just seems a little sucks now. It could be wrong. I was on your island for a while

I just left you're probably happy. There's more snack, but I mean you can blame me

You're right that they have not said that you would not be I mean, I mean you're entitled to your opinion and I'm not mad at you for that

It's just that I just don't hear it the same. I mean, I just don't can't give you an algae real quick because you've been watching the same show

I have DTF St. Louis. Yeah, so how is AJ as an eagle is essentially the GM version of pleading the fifth right?

That's his that's his go-to response

Every time he's asked about AJ around it's AJ rounds a member of the Eagles. I plead the fifth when they have

And this might be a spoiler for people and they have Bateman in the interrogation room

And he got quiet he's answering all the questions and then all of a sudden they asked the one that got him and he's like

You know what get me a lawyer? I'm pleading the fifth. What's your first thought?

Dude's guilty as sin. No, it wasn't that not hiding something definitely because in that moment not to tell the story

But in that moment

When they say what they say it

The the pilot light went on and he realized what had actually happened. Right, but no, it's still don't you think how he's hiding something

But that doesn't mean that he was guilty doesn't mean he was guilty. I am now but that does lead you to that doesn't it doesn't it doesn't lead me to

I am now waiting for Siri on it. It's a get me a lawyer during the next press conference. The one thing

We didn't let Lisa talk. Yeah, this is what she's

Sorry, what you're fine the Phil's Lisa. Are you sure they're gonna be okay?

I'm not I'm not sure. I really hope the season starts tonight. I did put the $4 on

Boom for the second night in a row that you you also lost that's also why I'm a little hurt

I think I lost that you only said the $4 I got you Lisa. I got you for it. I mean

I'm just I'm hoping the season starts starts back tonight

But the concern that I had was more with wheelers high off his rib night

And I don't want him feeling like additional pressure to come back if our pitching can't get things together

That's at least it's a good point. I hope the Phillies wouldn't rush him back

I'm sure he's gonna feel that pressure though. Like hey, I'm I'm pretty much ready

I'll come back up Lisa. Great phone call and he was gonna get the $4 next time we see it one of our guys

I drink some drink on me. Yeah, there you go

Lisa might you know, she might put them put them back

I'm not saying she's you know, you don't want to lose that much money

I'm just saying because you know at the ballpark them things ain't cheap

I want to be on the four dollars about a quarter of a three I want to be our hook for like a couple of my but I got it. Yeah

Yeah, look when it comes to the the wheeler thing and pressure to come back

I would I would hope the plan is the plan like that's one you can't mess around with right these two valuable. It's too long of a season

Oh, but painter tonight all the other pictures when wheeler gets back they got to perform better other than

Sanchez and opening day they haven't pitched well

But they need the offense to start they do they do specifically you the top three guys

They just when those guys don't hit

It's just very hard to generate offense in any way shape or form and they need power out of them

Sure, we're at the home run opening day zilt since Harper's been nothing the whole year and tray

You know, it's interesting with tray you because when he first got here

He was a 20 plus home run guy and then last year

And he made a concerted effort to just hit more

Be a better hitter and he won the batting title and it was probably his best and most consistency isn't as a filly

But I need at least one of the two right like if trays not gonna hit the 25 30 home runs the way he would when he was younger

Okay, but then you better hit 300 right? I better get a lot of singles and you hit the double last night. Yeah

I need a lot of that but otherwise

There's not enough there. Yeah, it's it's unfortunate because

The moment when I think about the moment the back-to-back late in the game when when Harper in and swore

Yeah, it felt like they were trying to crush it. It felt like that and I understand in that situation

You're running out of innings and you're just trying to get some off you trying to generate something

But man, it has to be more of a concerted effort during the course

Don't number one try not to let the game get away from you

And then the next just try to just try to get him play keeping in play

Boy, do they need a lead tonight in that first inning right just yeah, you can't you can't you can't lead a young fella

You can't hang him up to driving

Let's say painter gets through the first inning

You know, whatever one two three and if he gives up one based runner

But clean right no runs out of it relatively unscathed and then the offense comes up

I need those three guys to start the lineup to hit to get a couple runs on the board

Whether it's a trade lead-off home run or a Bryce home run or whatever a single in a home

I need them to score some runs and let him breathe when he goes out for the second and like all right

I got a I got a two-run leave here. I can I can relax. I could just pitch. So let's go to Brian in Philly up on WIP

Hey, Brian. Hey, how you doing today guys? Good morning Brian. What's up?

Just wanted to agree with you when you guys are talking about if AJ's going to be an eagle still

I definitely agree with you on that when they when he said that he's an eagle. I think that clearly states that he's going to be an eagle

But why would they say that then?

Why would they say it because one one I don't we don't know what AJ actually wants

Like you know me like I don't I personally don't know what AJ wants

But I know that as a contract and how contracts goes if if Nick Syria is gonna say he's an eagle

I mean, he's an eagle. It's just how it goes

but they don't say that about any other player Brian

It just feels like a very it feels like a very in the moment thing

It feels like a way of saying like I'm here now. Isn't the response to Jalen hurts like a huh?

What are you talking about of course? I do just saying but yeah, but again

You don't know what AJ wants maybe AJ doesn't want to be an eagle, but he's still an eagle

That's what that's what Nick's really trying to say. Yeah, I know I get Brian. I get I guess for me

It's like if someone asks someone hey, how's uh, you know, how's life with your spouse or you're going it?

We're together. Yeah, I

Understand we're still we're still together. Yeah, I mean that doesn't sound great

You know what I mean? I mean it makes you wonder like what's going on behind the surface

I definitely understand that part of it, but in football and in contract situations like this

You you have to be somewhat vague, but to me they haven't been vague enough for me to think that he's not gonna be here

That that's what I mean. Yeah, and the AJ doesn't spoke up himself either to say anything otherwise though

Well, that's a good Brian. That's a yeah, I know it's a good point that AJ

Silence in this and maybe the Eagles and Brian good phone call you know, maybe the Eagles have asked him to stay silent or to help their

The trade market, but it does put all of it on them right they have to answer every question. They have to

They have to entertain every rumor. It's not like

This would almost be easier. I think just publicly if AJ had asked for a trade now

Maybe it would hurt them in a trade discussion if they lose leverage

But you I actually think it would be easier for the Eagles to talk about this if AJ had publicly done what we think he did behind the scenes

Which is say I don't want to be here because then they could just they that would be there out like what do we get you know

He's a he requested a trade. Yeah, cuz and part of this the reason why I feel like this because I've been a part of two of these

The first one I just went it off say I want to be here

I said that and and I was told that hey if you keep it under wraps, we'll we'll accommodate you right and the second time

I was in Jacksonville. I just said I just told the first person I thought I want out of here

I just want out. I don't want to be here anymore

And I made it clear. That's why I was and I remember Jack calling me like hey man, you know, can you work with us?

And I was like okay and got clear anyway, so it that's what it was but

That's that's AJ hasn't done that like AJ has probably expressed and I've heard that he's expressed that he you know his

His frustrations with everything, but I'm still a firm believer that you know, this is this is still trying to be worked out

Now to your point and to the point of dying and receiving everybody else has reported

There was I think there was some conversations being had about trading, but I think that has cooled down

But the story is so hot man. I wake up every morning and there's a story about AJ

As a matter of fact didn't Hushman's out to say something about the story and I think AJ tweeted a man cool out of song. Yeah, yeah

So so that what leaves me to believe

That this is much to do about nothing because this is a hot story

And and the one thing and and and not and again

Not taking any credit away from anybody that has talked about these stories and and and and have vetted the people that they've talked to anything like that

But we know the NFL moves the meter and there if there's something to talk about

We're gonna we're gonna talk about it. AJ's the new hotness right now. Well, it's been the biggest story of the league

He's the new hotness with with all of his you know

Antics from the win after the Super Bowl and you know reading the book on the sideline

He's he's the it girl right now

So that's why the story is still having lays because to me

I this the way and this is the way I interpreted the story dies down for a couple days

And then there's another story that comes out that that ramps it back up again

And then it becomes a thing again. So that's kind of where I think it is

And I haven't heard anything definitive yet, but I get where everybody's coming from and I get the way that people feel

I just don't feel that way. All right. We uh, speaking of it being the biggest story out there

So yesterday morning with the NFC coaches breakfast. That's when Nick sir Andy spoke this morning

The AFC coaches breakfast and what do you know? Mike Vrable was asked about AJ Brown his guy

Here's Vrable this morning. AFC coaches breakfast asked about the AJ Brown stuff

You know who can't follow the script like Vrable he likes AJ Brown too much. He's done follow that script

Anything we can do to make our team better. Yeah, I mean, and that's that's the truth

He probably does want AJ. He's probably adored

You know enamored by him

But the the price is the price, you know, and I think that's what's the sticking point

I think how we

Strategically did this because he knew that nobody was gonna pay that for AJ

And so so now when he's talking AJ because they're still trying in my opinion

They're still trying to talking down

They're saying hey, man, we're trying to trade you, but nope. I'm not giving you a way for anything because I I love you too much

I want you to be here. You're part of the team, you know

Trying to just make him feel good about it. Hey

We're gonna bring in this new offense. We're gonna get you the ball more

Will you just get just come

Okay, AJ just come and I'm just I'm recklessly speculating hey, AJ just come to just come to training camp man

And and I'll you'll see for yourself what it's gonna look like if we have to say just come to training camp

It's over. Well, just come to just come to the first OTA or whatever you want to call. No, I just gonna be just gonna be all right

Ellie. It's gonna join us

I've been home. Matter of fact, it's about time. Yeah, it might be time. Yeah, the whiskers up top again
