Ravens trade for Maxx Crosby, Trump’s “Stick to Sports” Hypocrisy gets more absurd | 03.09

1:22You are a hater. We got some interesting sports news about people not paying money. You'll find out what I mean when we get there. But first we got the big news over the weekend. The Baltimore Ravens traded two first round picks to the Raiders and they receive Max Crosby in retired. And I don't know about you guys, but I can't wait to see how the Raiders fuck this up. What are they going to do with the first round picks? The thing about draft picks is currency is their actual value is really interesting to stop and consider. So the value of Max Crosby as an edge rusher. I think almost across the board, no matter who gets the edge rusher, like top five edge rusher, we kind of know what that's worth. Like quantifying that gets to be a little tricky. I mean, that's what you do with the draft picks and everything else, but I still feel like even if we're talking about it just in a qualitative sense, we know what that

2:22means, right? Draft picks, it all depends on who's doing the picking, right? So on one level, for the Ravens, I would probably argue. Ryan, you tell me if I'm wrong, I'm gonna probably start looking to stuff while we talk about it. But the Ravens, I feel like they've got a pretty good track record of what they do when they have first round picks, right? There is one of these teams that also almost never trades them either. Yes. Yeah. So like they, they have a good history of knowing what they're doing, going back about since they've been in Baltimore. Yeah. So what they, what they do with their first round picks, their picks, all right. So we will go with them first round picks since 2016. Ronnie Stanley, Marlon Humphrey, Hayton hers, Lamar Jackson, Hollywood Brown, Patrick Queen, Rashad Bateman, Oda Faye, O'Way, Kyle Hamilton, Kyle Hamilton, title in the bomb, Zay Flowers, Nate Wiggins, Amatika Starks. Now, I think those last two,

3:25not quite what we're talking about before, but for the Ravens, a first round pick is a big deal. Yes. They do good things with first round picks. Let's look up Raiders, first round picks, and we will also go back to 2016 and Ryan, let's see what we got here. Ooh, Carl Joseph, Gary on Conley, Colton Miller, Cleveland Ferrell, Josh Jacobs, Jonathan Abram, Henry Roaks, Demodart Net, that was another, yeah, Alex Leatherwood, Tyree Wilson, Bryant Powell, Brock Bowers, and Ashton Gentie, not bad, though perhaps overdraft it, right? Yeah. All I'm saying is, while for the Ravens, giving up those picks, perhaps an expenditure

4:26of currency. Yes. For the Raiders, you put a first round pick in the hand on the Raiders, it'd be like, if it's a doll in my hand, it is 50 cents in yours. First round pick just does it mean they should trade their first round pick every fucking year. In fact, I have no idea why they would even want a first round pick or giving them two first round picks. I would be terrified if I were the Raiders if I was here. I would choose twice. Yeah. Who in the building knows what to do with one of these things? I mean, clearly, I mean, who's the adult in that room? Is it Mark Davis in his awesome haircut? Is it Tom Brady? It's Tom Brady and his 14 jobs. Yeah, but I don't, but to be fair, there's 14 jobs. I don't think the issue is the 14 jobs, although, I mean, the, I can't help. Well, the one job he ain't got to do right now. That's true. Like, I guess I don't really know, like the only two jobs I really know of are the two jobs he

5:28shouldn't be able to have at the same time. That man seems to, he's got that weird flag football thing that's now. That's no longer his Saudi Arabia. Yeah, no longer. That man does a lot of media. Yeah. And, and it's just interesting. And then he has his various extracurriculars of being a A plus with celebrity. This eight and, and, and single a dad. That too. He's also a dad. Yes. Oh, did you see the athletic story of a man, Mike, so if he did about Alex Guerrero, hey, I'm in a little bit too much. You have a little too much juicer out there. Yeah. But part of the reason Max Croix isn't there anymore. Yes. The issue with Tom Brady being the person in charge is what made Tom Brady good at what he did is something that it's entirely possible. No other human has in them, which is this insane will to keep getting better. Right? Like,

6:29forget about will the win. Just the decision that I am going to get better at this every day. And I'm going to keep coming up with new ways to do all this. Dude, they made one of you. Literally one. He is a non transferable skill. Yeah. Yeah. He didn't get there because he has such a great eye for talent. That's just not, and look, maybe he does. But that is a completely different job. For example, let me talk about the Baltimore Ravens. Ozzy Newsom, Hall of Fame, tied in Hall of Fame executive. There aren't that many people in any of the games who can say those two things at the same time. It's a really tough thing. So now they have to really who is on that list? That's Jerry West. Jerry West. I mean, honestly, it'll take me too long to try to play this game. Yeah. But that maybe we'll see how John Lynch turns out. Yeah. He's going to be close and both. John L. Way put together a Super Bowl winner. Yeah. But I mean, John Lynch works for Kyle Shanahan. That's that's that's that's a that's a different situation. But

7:30bottom line is giving them two first round picks. Not a big deal. Correct. For the Ravens, Jesse Menter, congratulations. Baltimore Ravens have been in existence since the year 1996. I would make the argument that at no point has a coach truly been on the clock, right? Like they let Brian Billy keep it up after winning that Super Bowl and then him kicking around for a long time with no particular Brian Billy is a Super Bowl winning coach that nobody else gave that a try. And then it wasn't like he won a Super Bowl with the Avengers by the way. Like they put together a great defense and everything. But nobody gave Brian Billy any credit. And it never felt like he was actually on the clock. But he went like four and 12. I want to say in the last year that he was there. And then they let him go. And then they brought on John Harbaugh. And I mean, I said John Harbaugh was on the clock. But nobody seemed to believe that until they actually fired him, right? Like the pressure was not just hanging over him. I feel like you get a first year coach and you trade two first round picks to get Max Crosby.

8:35You are saying, Hey, we're here to do this thing. Okay. While by the way, having a quarterback that is not demonstrated that he has the greatest ability to shoulder pressure. Now what he has showed is that he has an incredible ability to generally play football, right? And perhaps the pressure is not really, oh, you gave up two first round picks. Like that doesn't matter to Lamar Jackson. If Max Crosby makes it to where it makes it easier to get out to leads and easier to shut him down once you have him, right? You've got that guy. Because as I recall, right? You craved me if I'm wrong. Their defense was, I don't think Putrid was the word. But I know they good was not the word. It was certainly putrid. It wasn't full. It was putrid early, right? That's right. Because they have the new defensive coordinator, right? And then they call it in Chuck Begotto to help. And it did matter, right? Like they, they, they did improve. But that's right. They, they were cheeks to start. And then everyone got hurt too. Yes, they did. Yeah. This is,

9:37they're coming to do it. But I feel like this is like the third time in the last four years that the Ravens have been all in on this year, which is not to say that they haven't been all in, but they have. But the bill, like usually when you talk about people being all in and that way, it's like all in this year, everything goes be damned. So what if the bill comes due? I feel like this is the time though where like the bill's going to come due. Like two first round picks. It hasn't come due right away. But at some point, the bill's going to come due. The 49ers. We have seen the bill kind of sort of come due on that tray. Lance trade. Like at some point, not having that capital, whether, whether it be missing on picks or simply not having them. At some point, the bill comes due. And with the Ravens, we're going to see how good the picks have been for the last couple of years. Plus, you're not going to have two this year, nor are you going to have the one next year. Like, I mean, you're saying now is the time. And then down the line, it'll be cool because we have Lamar Jackson, who is at that point now, by the way, where Lamar Jackson, while still being young, is not as young as he used to be.

10:41Like, I believe we're now looking at 28, maybe turn 29. He was young coming in. He was young coming in, but it's 28 with miles. Yeah. Like that's the thing about all the the Josh Allen discussion. And they may, they made a move to try to help him out too. And Lamar is going is 29. Um, they went and got made that move to get DJ Moore. And to me, DJ Moore is not a number one receiver. And I know this because you got him for a second round pick. Right. You didn't go get AJ Brown, right? You went and got DJ Moore, who Jason golf bears fan rapidly, obnoxious bears fan, by the way, right? He got there quick. Um, anyway, he couldn't wait to get DJ Moore out of here. I mean, he was going to be there for option this year. Yeah. Like, but they made the move like that was the time to ramp up. And you know, why it's time to ramp up because the chiefs ain't the chiefs, right? Like this is, I don't know

11:44if they're on the like Patrick Mahomes is going to come back to start the year and they're dialing it back, but they made that trade, um, the corner's name. Trent McDuffy. Trent McDuffy. I knew it was a Trent, but I almost called it a Trent Gonzalez. But I knew that he was not, I knew he wasn't Gonzalez, but there was a similar Gonzalez. There is a Christian. There was a similar age opposition. Like there was, I thought it was better to humble myself and ask, right? But anyway, one thing I will say about the chiefs in this run, and maybe this is the privilege of having Patrick Mahomes. Once it becomes clear, you're going to want too much money. They will trade you. Trent Tyree Kill, this cat, they don't make the move, but anyway, they made a move that doesn't make you better right now. Right. That's what they did. There's no way around that. These other cats are like, ooh, we smell an opportunity. There is one there. This is again, not that I think that the stillers

12:49are like necessarily knocking on the door of a Super Bowl. But this is why Omar Khan, and whoever the new general manager for the Vikings, that's why they should have been wrestling at St. Elmo's about who got to go get Kyle Murray. Like this is, is this is why it opened as the AFC has felt, right? Because Drake may look bad last year in the playoffs. To be fair to him, he is young. That could play great defenses. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but he looked bad. There's no way around that. I'm not buying his bow next thing yet. I'm just not there. Anybody can do this. Who knows what the Texans are going to do? Yeah. I mean, we were once very high on him. Yeah. Do we trust Trevor Lawrence? I trust him a lot more than I used to. Indianapolis, they guarantee themselves the right to pay Daniel Jones $37 million coming off

13:52in Achilles tear. What, what, what, everybody, the only person, the only person that saw that it was that's preposterous because it's not like he doesn't need to run. Right. And I know what they'd be forgetting about it because, you know, I wait, you know, like I understand that, but they, I mean, I don't know what else they were supposed to do to be fair. Like, I don't think they can go back to Anthony Richardson. But I, we haven't said the name of the Bengals once. We haven't said the name of the Bengals was. Tray Hendrixson is out of there. Yeah. I mean, they're, they're, they're not going to, you know, just because they went to the Super Bowl, didn't mean that they stop being the Bengals. Correct. I mean, I think that's, that's something is a deep into your DNA. What are the charges

14:55going to do now? Do the charges need to, does feel like the charges need to do something drastic? That would be a hilarious AJ Brown destination. I get the feeling that AJ Brown and Jim Harbaugh would be great together. Again, AJ Brown is going to be playing for the Eagles next year because the Eagles aren't losers. And only losers would trade that guy for the reason that people think that they should trade him because he's too correct about the fact that your offense isn't good enough. So you, like, think of the message that you're sending to everybody else. Tell the truth and get traded, even if you're the best player on the offense. Fuck out here. But let's run through this because you sent me this tweet from Adam Schaefter that he ran, it's a partial list of players who have been traded for multiple first round picks. And I'm going to go one by one and are actually right to probably be better. If you pull up said list and we will say briefly whether they were or were not worth two first

16:01round picks. Let's pull this up. All right. First, we can start with the people who were traded with this, I mean, going on this year, Michael Parsons. Yes. Sauce Garner. Didn't he get hurt after they did that? He got hurt. I mean, Michael Parsons also got hurt. Well, yes, he got hurt basically immediately. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it looks like that's not going to be it. I think even with the injury that Michael Parsons sustained, yes, you make that trade even coming off the ACL to a couple of quarterbacks, Russell Wilson. Apparently not. Apparently not. Um, Matthew Stafford. I guess you'd have to say yes. Yeah. I mean, with after the Super Bowl. Yeah. Even though you get you, I mean, you had to attach Jared Goff. I mean, the point of those first round picks was to get like absorbed Jared Goff contracts. Yes. Yes. But I mean, I also very interesting in this. They made a first, they made a trade and magically instantly in that trade, Matthew Stafford became a first

17:05battle hall of famer, just by changing teams. Uh, it's all he had to do. Uh, where are me, tonsil? Laramie tonsil. That's when the dolphins traded for him. Yes. To the Texans. To the Texans. I mean, you got to me. You get a all pro left tackle and you keep them for years. You would hope in one of those first round picks. You cross your fingers and hope that you got a player almost as good as Laramie tons. I'd say that word. Jamal Adams. No. Khalil Mac. So it's so interesting because he was immediately defensive player the year, like immediately dominant, but the problem was they were the bears. And so on one hand, no, it wasn't worth it. On the other hand, they were going to fuck it up with them picks anyway. Jalen Ramsey. That is when he went to the Rams from the dolphins of the Rams. Yeah. I don't know if that was worth to first round. I mean, I guess that's another, um, the results speak, right? Jalen Ramsey is a weird one where he every team wants him and then everyone's very

18:05that's kind of like Tyrone Matthew. Yeah. Well, no, but what happens is when he gets to the point where Jalen Ramsey knows that you're not going to give him any more money, then let how about let's just go ahead and like take care of this. Yeah. And he gave me David Morgana to the rescue. But even then for what might have been the best corner in the league, I don't know. Uh, what now we get to some of the older ones, uh, Jay Kotler. We have to remember that they had never had a quarterback as good as Jay Kotler. Jay Kotler still stands as the best quarterback in like at least the last 50 years of Chicago Bears football. They also went to an NFC championship game that Jay Kotler could not play in because he had a torn MCL. Um, I am going to say yeah, kind of Ricky Williams. It's talk about a different world. Yes. We're a running back to get traded for two first round picks. He immediately had that year. We ran for like 1800 yards, but they gave him the ball like 400 times. Right. And then

19:05it turned into, um, some real yackety sack shit over there with him, including the retirement. And then he had to come back because he owed people money. It was a lot. It was fun. But I don't think it was worth two first round pick. Uh, Kishan Johnson. They won a Super Bowl. They did not win a Super Bowl because they traded two first round picks to get Kishan Johnson. And if I'm not mistaken, I think the jets took like Sean Ellis and John Abraham, what those picks? Hey, the ramp said, I mean, the, the, the, the jets that year had four first round picks. Chad Pennington. I think it was Kyle Beck, the tight end, not Kyle Beck. Kyle Brady went to Penn State and then John Abraham and Sean Ellis. Crazy. Yes. Four first round picks in the same year. Uh, Jeff George. Oh, and if I am not mistaken, it is the Atlanta Falcons who decided to trade those two first round picks in order to get Jeff George and that 10 year ended with Jeff George and the head coach having a screaming match on the sideline and Jeff George,

20:08the least light player in the history of the NFL. For them to tell that guy's that good, just sit yo ass down. No, you won't play anymore. That is basically what happened. But have you ever watched Jeff George or a football? Yes. I see why everybody. Yes. I think right now, if Jeff George is out somewhere throwing a football and I didn't tell you it was Jeff George, you've given a run to Eric Dickerson and Herschel Walker. Well, yes. Two first round picks plus a fairly significant epsilon that makes this out of that was Adam Schaefter trolling. Yes. In that one, Eric Dickerson to the cults for those two first round picks is interesting though, because Dickerson, he was still that dude for about another year and change. And then that was it. I don't know. We gon' see. But this is my, Ryan, I'm gonna ask you, this is my last question with Max Crosby. He's not Miles Garrett. He's not top of game, Michael Parsons. I feel like

21:12as good as he is, he seemed extra good because he played with Bums. But I don't expect him to show up over here and be like, is he better than Trey, like would you say he was better than Trey Henderson? Let's put it like that. I think that's the comp. You know, like TJ Watt, who I think is on the other side of, you know, approaching the other side of the mound, you understand what I'm saying? Like, but I don't, I don't think Max Crosby is tier one edge rush. Me neither. I don't think he's much worse than tier one. I mean, look, Miles Garrett. So Miles Garrett is tier zero. Yes. Are we comfortable saying that? You know, but I don't, I don't know. I think he can make an impact. He's 29 years old. Like, two first, hey man, but you know what? Here's the thing about it. Here's the thing the Baltimore Ravens don't have to ask themselves where they gon' get pressure from. Peace of mind. That's where the first round pick. Hey man, I've been doing this job a long time now and I remember it was 10 years ago coming up on it.

22:22This was when Colin Kaepernick did the, you know, whole thing, you know, taking a knee, you know, foot police situation. There's a lot of discussion about the idea of sticking to sports and, you know, like, as it was going on, I did, and you go back and listen to stuff I was doing, you know, I do things the way that I do them, but I did acknowledge, like, kind of buying large the idea of understanding of the fact that like, when I worked at ESPN, the P was not for politics. You know what I mean? Like, you have to have a recognition of what it is that people show up for. And most people did not show up to sports stuff to want to hear about all that other stuff. But for a lot of people, like, the topics were just so irresistible, like, even the people that we get mad, right? Like, like, rage bait, even if it's not just simply rage bait in a way to minimize the significance of it is it made people mad. People gravitate toward that, but it was a

23:24whole lot of stick sports, stick sports. And then in the end, the stick to sports people really did win. Like, I've talked about this with ESPN and there's nobody really that they even put out there whose job it is to give context to what's going on in sports outside of the sports part, right? They got a bunch of gambling people. People to help you make picks, but ain't nobody there to help you understand the world. And I would argue that athletes really aren't even the ones at this point that are doing very much to bring discussions of the larger world to you now, right? So six sports, you guys won. And since you guys won, I'm a little confused as to why it is you not furious right now because the president of the United States is making it impossible for me to stick to sports because he keeps showing up at all level. Like, in fact, Ryan, there's a little slight irony here. I'm curious what you think about this. I don't know if anybody's thought about it this way, but the stick to sports crowd, they should love the NBA right now, right? And the

24:31reason I say that is the president ain't never going to pull up into the NBA game. Like all the stuff that the people that used to be stick to sports Trump keeps showing up and all they shit, right? Like Trump pulling up at your MMA, uh, Trump's man was pulling up at the wider Olympics. You know, he liked to try to come to the NFL games. Like, yes, you see games. Yeah, but I said, he pulls up at all your stuff. And I thought that that was the opposite of what y'all want it. Now to be fair as some of these events, y'all be booing him, but it is at a point now where he's, he's there and it's not even like we stick to sports anymore as much as it is. Then we just try our best to ignore what's going on, right? As a media who covers these things, I say it looked overall. I don't have so much a problem with that. One, I mean, to be perfectly fair, I don't believe most of my colleagues are the best equipped to discuss these things. They just know what they got into the business for. Um, that, that's fine, right? Number two,

25:37there's just not really much new to say about Trump. We're on what season 10 11? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's been a long decade. Yeah, we got like four, we got them four years off, right? But we don't, there's no new discussion to be had about Trump. Um, but damn, he is around more than I feel like he had ever, oh, we've even talked about the college football thing. Yeah, right? And he had all the people there and man, he did not read the scouting report about this one before he went out there. He didn't know where the decisions came from. He was blaming people that weren't to be blame. He did not realize the Supreme Court and that Austin case had voted nine. Oh, he was trying to blame that entirely on like some radical activists, like some mythical activists judge in California, right? Like like he was all over the place in this and it was funny because he thinks that the solution to all of this is to stop paying the players or like did they get like

26:41$10,000. Yes. You know, like it's 1984. Yeah. Now look, here's what I do say about that where I halfway get that. No, I do not get. Yes. Okay. I get where he's coming from, but not in a way that justifies it. Look, we all have to admit one of these trick bags about this is nobody finds rich teenagers charming. No one ever has there. They don't they don't wear it well. It's like nobody nobody likes that. Is it hating one hundred percent? That is what it is. But that is something that across the board does like think about the last time somebody made reference to someone under the age of 22 being rich and it was brought up in a positive way. It just doesn't work that way. But anyway, Trump's solution is we need to stop paying the players. I see that the internet was really mad at Nick Saban for talking about how the new system is chaos. By the way, the new system is chaos. Hey, I don't have any direct evidence of this, but something tells me that even before

27:45it was allowed, Nick Saban did his part to help some people get paid. I don't know what his party is. It's not to accuse him of violating an NCAA rule necessarily, but I don't think Nick Saban was making anybody give the money back if such a thing ever happened. I don't think he's the enemy in that sense. The system is chaos, though, right? It's not simply because the money's there, but how to deal with the money is a thing. There does somebody needs to do something about this person. It just isn't true. Like these, these, this is a very complex problem. That is not a man whose business is in providing complex solutions. And this is and this is someone who, you know, not exactly the world's biggest couch football fan. No, no, no, no, this isn't what he does. What he knows is is people let him games that like him, right? Like he's like, hey, I, my people say they're having a problem. How about I show up there and I save them? Okay, that's what he's going for. But I bring up the fact that he seems to think that part of the solution is to stop paying because anyone that's aware of Donald Trump's track record knows, he always

28:49thinks the solution to a problem. The first place to start is by not paying. Like he has an extended law and track record of not paying. And this comes back to the idea of the politics and sports and everything else. For those of you who are at end of these sorts of things, the World Cup is going to be in the United States, in Canada, in Mexico, and it's going to be between June and July of this year. And I don't know if you guys watched the news, but the world is on fire. In some places, the world is literally on fire. And from what I can glean, people are not very happy with the United States approach to what is going on over there in Iran that does not seem to be that doesn't. I mean, I guess in some places, it's okay. I'm not sure. I'm just telling you, it's a bit of a controversial topic. Another controversial topic

29:49is ICE and immigration. And during that time of year, we're going to ask a lot of people from a lot of countries to come over here to a place where people are getting yoked up, even if they paperwork is absolutely correct. And it's not like they're getting yoked up and then they show the papers and they're like, oh, my bad. And then they let you out. You might still be chilling out, right? I'm just saying, I don't think the Donald Trump is necessarily going to be that popular with the crowd that is into the world cup. These are these are vibes, right? But it's kind of a big deal. He's going to need to pull up to the world cup stuff when the world cup stuff happens, right? So again, we're going to have another situation where politics is in the sports because Donald Trump who and he's been talking about this world cup is like a thing prior, right? Like, I know he's been a little bit busy now, but this world cup thing, it's going to bring him further to the front. It's fascinating because the United States plays, they're playing their

30:53three games in Los Angeles, Seattle and Los Angeles. Oh, that's a lot of booing. And as I say, Trump for these sports events doesn't typically show up to enemy territory. Yeah, and then I say, those that you're correct, those are places where we did not vote. Now typically, the home team does make it to the next round, right? That does that does the quarterfinals of the round of the 3032. Yeah, maybe we see him there. If that's in I, let's call it a more favorable location. But you have to also remember talking about sticking to sports this summer, you have see coming to Trump's literally. Well, yes, well, yes, that is that there we go, right? Like, that's the one, that's the one group that never told us they were sticking to sports. They were like, and I'm Dana Weiss, like, we about this Trump. And we go ride this Trump all the way. They're going to have a fight right there at his house, right? That that that is again, now I don't traffic in that space. So I have forgotten that that's going to happen. But this is the thing with the world cup that I don't think people know, right? You and I, you brought you brought this to by attention.

31:55So you, I mean, just stick with me in case I get this wrong. But anyway, there are, there's certain funding that the federal government had promised to pay to help secure the world cup, right? Like it's as money for security at the venues where the world cup will be played all over the country. Right. They haven't gotten their money for this security. And it's become a thing in Foxboro where the Patriots play outside of Boston because they're like, hey, man, we're not doing anything until you give us our money. Like if there's not going to be money to secure this, then we're just not going to do this. Like they're not, they're not on the well, we'll just keep pushing through because whatever makes it interesting is Foxboro is not Los Angeles. Right. Right. It's not a city. Yeah, there's a different vocal tax revenue base. Yeah, they got it, right? Like they can't just front you to money for this security. And so there's a dispute in this because, well, I guess Christy Dome had sent this,

32:56but her word doesn't mean anything. She doesn't work there anymore. But when she was the head of the Secretary of Homeland Security, she was saying that the government shutdown was the reason that the money had not been doled out for these people and that the Democrats are holding it up. And then if the Democrats shut out the money, then everything can go ahead. And then there was a representative, this woman said, no, it had to receive this. This is this money had already been earmarked. No, we're just not, we just not paying because politics is showing up in your sports again, because they just aren't paying the money. Can you imagine the idea of having a world cup in these times with substandard security? I think about what the idea is behind this. Like everything's going to hell. Okay, we have understood this, but the one thing that you would think that everybody would understand, especially with the mission that they have chosen to undertake is that we kind of need to make sure that the world cup has the utmost security.

34:02Right? And I'm not saying this to imply that any group of people is more likely to do anything. I'm saying this to imply that those people think there's certain groups of people are more implied, more inclined to do certain things. And they need to get us some security if that's how they feel. Nope, they just not paying. And now one person, I guess in this place, this is where you don't want the government to stick to sports. You want the government to stick to paying this money. But then after that, I go live a little, a little, a little sports ticket or no. I need to have to stop sticking to sports. That way you need to do stick to government. I just don't like it.

40:19We know you can't be on top of all the news and information of the day. No need for the social media feeds. We got you. Now, if you haven't heard. If you haven't heard, Bo, more disasters at the Department of Homeland Security. People are having real issues with TSA. There are long shutdowns all over the country. Estimated wait times in Houston. 165 minutes to get through security. Atlanta, 60 minutes. New Orleans, 60 minutes. George Bush and Houston, 51 minutes and Charlotte, 47 minutes. Tough times for the DHS, Bo. Yeah, and they're saying that that is in large part because of spring break travel. The first Houston airport is wild because that's the small airport. Yeah, but they just say they can't staff in part because of the shutdown. Like I shout out and I think we looking at this the wrong way. Thank you for your service. Anybody that's showing up to be TSA and you're not getting paid.

41:21Can you, Matt? The only thing worse than standing a line for two hours is standing and just getting people through that line for eight hours for free. Well, I cannot imagine for the life of me working a job. Night is not that I can't imagine working a job that I wouldn't get paid for because I've done that. Okay. But they know upward mobility in this. This isn't the beginning of a beautiful future for you. You just working at the TSA. What, you don't want to become a shift manager at TSA? No, and then the worst part about it is it's creating a situation where you don't have unhappy and impatient passengers. And I understand where they're coming from. But if I was then passengers, I put on a happy face because if I was working TSA, oh, everybody can wait. Everybody can wait. Let me tell you something funny. My brother talked about once. I think he had to go down. It was some city situation in New York. It was like a total like the total lot. I can't remember exactly what it was. Like somebody's car got told or something like that or

42:22like something. It was one of those places nobody wants to be. And he said he's in line. And he peeps gang and some dude is up and he gets to the window and he is breaking bad with the woman on the other side of the window. Talking crazy too. And I don't know if you've ever had your car told, but that is an unhappy place when you got to go there, right? Because nobody, it was never anybody's fault. They got their car told. But anyway, he said that dude started breaking bad with that woman. The next thing you know, he's heard like somebody hit a button. And when somebody break bad with them at the windows, they press a button and all the windows close. There's like a shade that comes down and the whole operation shuts down when you start talking crazy. It's like you got you guys better act right? You guys will stay here until we're well, no, no, no, but here's the key is that about you guys. It was one person. So it's sending the message to everybody. If one of you acts up, then the rest of us get shut

43:23down, which creates a new enforcement mechanism, which is these already unhappy people are no longer unhappy with the people behind the glass. They're now unhappy with you. That sounds like an unruly sports team. Yes, but that's that's what the airport could quickly turn into is what I'm saying. Just just just just trusted everybody involved is doing the best they can. All right, speaking of institutions, we can't trust tech major Oracle is playing to slash up to 30,000 jobs to fund AI data centers, according to a report, citing research by an investment bank, Oracle will be selling some of the activities as usbaks pull back from investing in the companies AI data expansion, but what was your reaction to this? You said the banks aren't funding this anymore. Yeah, let's talk more about that part because the significant portion of this economy is currently being floated by AI stuff. And the banks appear to believe that we have

44:24reached capacity because these companies aren't quite profitable. They're spending a lot of money, but not making as much money as you should when you're spending that much money. But if the banks are saying that we are no longer funding this experiment, buddy, that's a really, really, really big deal. At least I would think that it's a big deal because Oracle, that's a Ellison's right. Right. And for people who pay attention to that situation with the, what you call it? Paramount. Yeah, Paramount. That's his son. He's so rich that he's bankrolling his son to buy Paramount. While he's still over there doing real, he own one of the Hawaiian islands, and I don't mean like a little one, like one of those that people have heard of that's got multiple four seasons on it. I mean, I'd be multiple, but is there? And I, he got paper. Yeah, real paper. Yeah. And he is just laying off a million people that, by the way, I'm not sure he has to

45:26lay off. Let's get back to that part. I think they'd be just fine. But if the banks are not funding the AI, what comes? Right. I keep trying to find an AI story that is not terrifying. There, there, there isn't a one. There's, there's not. Do you see the one where they said that the AI bots that you put them in finance, the problem is they'll start cheating and breaking the law? Yep. Um, there, there's an interesting poll out from NBC that showed AI worse poll numbers and ice net positive 26 net negative 46. It is too late. Yeah. Too late. All right. And finally, interesting weekend with Logan Paul, he offered a million dollars for any former NFL player to get into a fight with him. That was quickly shut down by his WWE boss, Triple H. Bo, uh, your reaction to another Paul brother in the news.

46:29I mean, while like his he was going to fight levy on bill. Yes. And I don't think levy on bill would feel this way. Where Logan Paul said that he would offer a million dollars to somebody to fight him. I would just simply raise the point that somebody could propose doing it for free. And when I say propose doing it for free, I mean, just pull up all them and see what happened. Like I, I, I, I don't really root for levy on bill. He seems to be a bit of an annoying figure himself for a number of reasons. Um, and I don't know if he could have beat up Logan Paul. Like, I just, I just, I don't, I don't, I don't have any insight as to whether levy on bill could fight. But I would have liked to see them try out of rooting for, right? Like, you know, boxing, you know, it bring out that, that Rossi is more in people. That really was when, when was not going to be the case for me. Because if I'm not mistaken,

47:33levy on bill, he got some ink. He, he, he, he supports people. I don't support. You know what I'm saying? He doesn't, he doesn't have a full film. Nicholson timeline, but it's of course. Yeah. Yeah. But anybody want to, uh, anybody want to work with them. Paul brothers as I am on your team. I'm trying to think of who, like, if Steven Miller fought, um, Logan Paul, I guess I'm rooting for the asteroid. But damn, that's a, that's a tough call. Shit. All right, Bo. Why do good voicemails this week? Here's our first. Hey, Bo Monty. This is Pat from Virginia. Long time listener, first time caller. And I had a question for him. So I was talking about this with my friends recently. And we were talking about just being the biggest haters about certain teams. Like, I hate the patriots. I wish them nothing, but pain and misery. But I am from West Virginia. I specifically Logan, West Virginia.

48:38And I love Randy Moss. I've loved him my entire life. He can do no wrong, especially on West Virginia. Shout out to man high school. My question for you is, is there any player growing up or currently that could go to a team that you hate, Saints, and you would still root for that player, even if they're playing for that team? Love the show. Bye. I'm trying to imagine a scenario where I could root like if Randy Moss had played for the Saints, I probably would be about it. What about Cam Newton played for the Saints? Yeah. Well, you know, that gets into the Cam Newton gives it to the Joel Anderson space of the people who. Yeah. But if Randy Moss had played for Duke, I'd hate Randy Moss. There is nothing like I'm really trying to think about this. Zion kind of sort of,

49:42but I'm trying to think like if anybody has ever overcome duetness for me, like to where I'm like, yeah, I did write someone's about how I like JJ Redick when he was in college. And I did enjoy, I did like him when he was in college, but he wanted him. Like he ain't no, he's not a deviation. Like he part of the problem. All right, here's our next one. Hey, Bo, this is Tyler Collins from Memphis. I grew up on my dad's old record collection, you know, 50s, 70s, 80s vinyl. So the other day when I heard the new French Montana single that uses the hooks from Casey and the Sunshine Band, I was like, oh, yeah, this is it. Then again, my taste is not that high dollar. I like the tricked-out example of the Osmorn. So you can tell where I'm coming from. Anyway, do you feel like there's a producer out there who does a consistently good job of sampling old music and unearthing a new sound with that? Or does that even exist?

50:43I guess I'll find out. Appreciate you. Am right. All right. Yeah, the tricked-outy Osmorn is cool. Is he talking about like currently, because I'm not the person to like speak on current? There's a whole world of people overall. I think overall is a good. Yeah, I mean, like, I don't think there's a great rap producer who didn't do that, right? And I guess different people had different things. Like Pete Rock is kind of like the OG, how to chop up and like produce a sample. Kanye to me at least became very interesting in his ability to like, and like, take a sample and turn it into a concept. Like, take slow jams, for example, right? Like those like, I always thought that he was really strong there. I think you get like, Dylan was incredible with it. Like the sample Kings are all over the place. They're like, you get like the lazy samplers, right? Like Diddy being the obvious example that you get at that dude. But not man, like, that's what that's what rap is. You know, you take

51:46yourself back to 90s rap and don't you worry. You will find what it is that you were looking for. All right. We're back to one of our favorite games. We got two of them. Here's our first. Hey, what's going on, both? This is Ryan called to kind of see. And I'm going to tell you about the time somebody didn't use their real name. So I was in the military. I was applauded. We had a guy in our unit. His name was Donnie Lewis. And so, you know, he's always done Lewis. And so one day I will fight chief person charges, but he's Air Force 2 and he was from South Georgia. He goes down there to get the mail. Everybody they mail them to put them in whatever it goes for it. And he gets to the end. He's got this big stack of mail. And so Lewis comes up. Donnie comes up to him to say, Hey, man, I got to know man. And then for you, you don't think I got here for a done trail. And so he's like, I'm done trail. And everybody in the room, I was like, what? And my wife, she's like, man, in the way here, your name is done trail. No way, your name is done. Tril. White don't trail. You don't like done. Tril. Man, I don't see everything.

52:50Man, from that point forth, we call that dude done. Tril. And just a little bit of information about that too, but his little man was trying. That's right. Done trail Prince Lewis. My man was from Indiana. I haven't heard from the years, but done trail Prince Lewis. White guy from Indiana. Appreciate it. Hey, I'll bet you somebody here listed who know that man. I bet you we got nothing that were to make that happy. You know, die trail Prince Lewis. Highlight him telling the hollanda voice bell lines. We can catch him up with the other buddy. I can't imagine a better place for that situation to happen than the military. Yeah, yeah. Like early, like, enlistment military. Quite honestly, that seems like the place I would assume that this happened more than anywhere else. I feel like that's, I feel like that's where white Jerome, well, I guess white Jerome, he turns up on the board of directors in New York, but I still feel like that's where like the examples that we describe in white Deonte. I feel like he, he, he, he trying to be all he can be. All right, here's our last one. Bo, I had to call the show immediately. I'm Elliott from Mobile, Alabama.

53:56I'm currently in the Springfield, Missouri airport. And I was working in Branson, Missouri. And my driver who I spoke with for about an hour had a really good conversation with her. Well, it was a poor enough to the airport. Somehow we started talking about names. And my driver tells me about how her son's name is Tyler. And her other son's name is Steven, and how people joke about how she must be an aerospace thing because her son's name is Steven and Tyler for Steven Tyler. Anyway, I tell her how my name is Elliott and how I got my name from my mother like an actor Bill Elliott. Well, as we get ready to, as I'm getting ready to get out the car, she tells me, well, my name is Lequeeda. And I look at her and say, this is Lequeeda. She said,

54:58yes, my, my name is actually Lequeeda. Yes, this is a 62 year old woman who lives in Branson, Missouri, and she is white Lequeeda. Both love listening to the show, been listening to it ever since you've been on Dan Love a Talk back in the day on both Moniquan Day and the fan ever since. Keep doing your thing. I listen. Have a great day. I appreciate that. I want to know how many people in Lequeeda's life simply call her Q. Are you familiar with Branson, Missouri? I have familiar with Branson, Missouri. Talk about a, uh, you're kind of white. Yeah, Branson, Missouri. Like, like, a, a, a, no, a, no rappers show it up doing no residencies at Branson, Missouri. Right. You might not even get Christian rappers. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, you might not even show up there. Yeah, that's a, there was a totality

56:00of circumstances involved in that one right there. Wow. And who knew Springfield, Missouri, had an airport. Ain't that something? Did you know there's not a commercial airport in the state of Delaware? They are, they are just strictly mooching off their neighbors. But think about it. If you're in Delaware, either close to Philly, you close the bot like, what do you need an airport for? But the idea that they looked around, it was like, now we good. Wilmington is that place where you stop in the train stations, like, oh, this is the part of Delaware that does not have the money. Yeah. Oh, that's a, that's just Joe Biden stop. Yeah. I tried. I mean, you, you stop there and around it. And then you get five miles on your, oh golf course, golf course, golf course. That's like that. You see all the corporate tax breaks in. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Every, every, where you send your credit card bill. Correct. That's right. Wilmington, Delaware. But hey, ladies and gentlemen, thanks so much for joining us here on the right time.
