Are we riding? I can't tell. Just kidding, I can. Sean Payton, to the Devere Broncos, we talked to Peter Shregor about it. Pretty big news. In the Centennial State, we also talked to Miko Ryan's announced as the head coach of the Houston Texans,

how Kellyn Moore will elevate Justin Herbert's game, and will the Cincinnati coordinators get head coaching positions this season? Chris does another football flashback. This time is the drive, the Broncos versus the Browns in 1986. And then we have a mailbag where we have a little fun with Jalen Hertz's Kellogg commercial and talk some geography with best landlock states and countries we'd love to visit. We will be back on Thursday 4.30 p.m. Eastern on AMP

and the Freaks Show on Friday. Y'all enjoy. Pack show we've got Peter Schrager coming on. First things first, I want to talk to you about that Jalen Hertz commercial that you showed me. Jalen helps. I love it. I love it. I liked it.

It's catchy. And it got me thinking about what would happen if we were to change somebody else's name in sports. And I have a couple. Well, save that for the mailbag. But like, we are excited about that. We're going to pitch some other. But the whole thing is like it's Jalen and Tony the Tiger. and he's sitting there at a desk with Tony,

and his name is Jalen Helps. Kellogg's or just Frosted Flakes, change his name to Jalen Helps. And he's like, hey, well, if everybody visits this website, I will change my name to Jalen Helps. So I'm wondering if everybody could visit that website right now. By the Super Bowl, we need to have his jersey change to Jalen Helps. I also love the fact that Jalen is sitting there.

and presumably Tony the Tiger is computer generated. He's CGI. So Jalen's delivering these lines to nobody, which makes him an even better actor than I thought he was. It's incredible. What can't this guy do? He seemed genuinely nice to Tony the Tiger, which now makes me question his ability to mask his character.

Yeah, well, he did a great job. I love the commercial. I've never liked Jalen hurts more than when I saw him last night at the Syracuse UVA game. Dude, how great was that? That was awesome. Why was he there? That is the question.

He flew up there with BG. I don't know. I started texting BG. Gs on TV. When I have friends that are on TV, I just fucking text them. I really don't care. Yeah. Like, yeah, okay, Scott Van Pelt, you're doing Midnight Sports Center. I don't care. You do it every night.

Yeah. You should be, if I was Scott Van Pelt, I would be able to read my phone and do the show because I'm so damn good at it. He's so good. Part of the fabric of the show. Yeah, I'm like texting, you know, Stanford, Steve, about a total on a Saturday at Tuesday night at like 11 p.m. He's like, hey, I'm, anyways, I text.

I text BG and he's sitting there. He's on TV and Meg's like, look at BG, he's on his phone the whole time. I'm like, yeah, because I'm fucking texting him. But he's also answering other people's text messages, presumably. He's a popular guy. He's had quite a year. He's had quite a year.

UVA got the win, so that was great. That was surprising though, right, to see like Jalen Hertz up in Syracuse on a Monday night? Fuck yeah, it was. I wouldn't expecting that. Like, what's his tie to Syracuse and or Virginia? We need to get Billy football on a deep-dive. Guy's mysterious. He really is.

Syracuse is a weird place. I've been up there a couple times. It's like got weird juju. I wouldn't watch you play up there at the Carrier Dome. Loud place. Loud place. But also on the way out, when the door's open, it shoves you out. The air pressure in there.

Oh, they got crazy air pressure. Yeah, you wouldn't know this because you're in the locker room. But when you come in, it almost pushes you over. And when you leave, it can throw you out the door. That's the game that I forgot my contact lenses. I remember that. And I was so fucking worried because I'm blind as a bat. And mom was flying up.

And her flight got a little delayed. And I'm sitting there like, am I going to be able to see in this motherfucker? The lights of the carrier dome are going to blind your boy. There's a lot of orange. You don't know who you're hitting. Yeah, exactly. And I'm assuming you didn't tell anybody you didn't have your content.

No, no, didn't tell my coaches. Nothing like that. Hey, coach, I'm not going to be able to see the polar. I don't care how big he is. So, yeah, anyways, we love the, the, Alan Hertz commercial, please visit, uh, whatever that website is. Kyle, this weekend when I was in Philly, a couple things. First off, I was in an Uber.

I was looking for something in the city. I am like the worst. I know we've talked about this. Like I can't navigate a fucking city to save my life. Like I'll stare at Google Maps and the arrows moving slow. Normal. And it's like, you know, disorienting. So I get in an Uber to drive like, you know, five blocks.

and I'm at the light and I look to my right and I'm like, I recognize this guy. Big guy. I'm like, I know who this is. I roll my window down. You know, when you do like, is that guy yell?

And then you show him your face to be like, please recognize. Yeah, but it's more like, hey, if the person doesn't know you, you can be like, I was talking to somebody back there. Yeah, yeah. And I'm like, Shane, Shane!

Guys got ear pods in. So I'm like, fuck, maybe it was him, maybe it wasn't. It's Shane Gillis. Shane Gillis was walking around Philly I run into him at the light and I had just followed him on IG the day before he had followed me back and I'm like

I'm just running into this guy in the middle of Philly we didn't get to meet up Right yeah the life algorithm was right yeah exactly dude I believe in that by the way Life algorithm oh yeah yeah absolutely Wow that's interesting So Shane Gillis was on the street in Philly Yeah well basically

Fing paint on from the longs He was there he's an Eagles fan I guess So like he was there you know like bullshit and going to the game. Long story short, we made contact. We almost met up. We didn't but we're going to get it. I hope to get

him on the show sometime. He was a huge fan of that game, I'm sure, because there was a dominant O-line performance. I know he was in an O-Lyman. He was in the Army. He was an O-Lyman. He was an O-Lyman. Reed was giving me the rundown on this guy's resume. You know, like Army, college football, Division I.

He's giving me Rob Riggle vibes in terms of like, when you read Rob Riggles bio Oh Rob Riggles bio Like active marine Yeah In every funny movie ever

Shane Gillis If you go to my YouTube algorithm He's on all the half of funny videos now Shane Gillis Yeah well he's been in the army Bros now No we're not bros But hopefully

You guys are best friends Can I text them? Yeah well no When you pass somebody on the street And you're comfortable enough to yell Shane Because you have an Instagram He's got A follow for a follow

I'm just gonna yell at this fucking guy in the street But he's a big guy guy. Big fucker. Yeah, he's big. And anyways, he's done that. He's been on SNL. Reed was saying Yeah, he kind of, he was kicked off SNL. He was famously on and off.

So the story is I yelled at the guy who's famous. Also, Kyle, I want to give an award out to the guy. I don't know who he is. But I'm sure some people know who he is listening to this pod probably. Got naked at the

post Eagles NFC championship melee that happens in the streets now every five years. The first time it happened, mom and dad had to walk through like the whole fucking thing. And they were like,

this is amazing. If it were not the Eagles and the team you were on, we would feel very unsafe. Yeah, I can imagine. But it was also awesome. But anyways, this guy was on top of one of these bus stops

and he's flapping his wings and he's got his wiener out. Freshly trimmed. Bro, it's on Snapchat, social media. I'm like, bro, said less is more and when I see that guy doing that I really believe that's as much

as you can get right there. Well also there's not a lot. So it's less as more. Less is more in every way for that guy. If you've seen the video that's confidence. How cold could it be? That's confidence. Can you imagine though? It was windy. He had to abrade.

I'm the type that if somebody got me at the wrong angle and I have to release another one. See I'm the type that has been caught at the wrong angle. You know what I was happy with it? But not on top of a fucking septa, must stop. That's how crazy Eagles fans are. He would rather them win the NFC championship and his small member be paraded around town.

It was insane. Kyle, the guy made the angle that we saw. You look like Ron Jeremy. That guy's a legend. Yeah. Anyways, guy had his knuckle out in front of and you know what? I'm sure he's somewhere like, hey, my friends told me that Chris Long roasted my dick

on a podcast. But like, hey, kudos to you. you, man. That's the type of confidence that I would usually say that guy's got a big dick. And you can tell them. Or something. But how do you, so what is it? Is it that much alcohol?

I think it's just genetics. No, I mean, the willingness to be like, hey, here's my piece. Confidence. Yeah. It's just stupidity. It's the ecstasy of them winning. It's a celebration. It might be, yeah.

So a guy with a baggie of cocaine in the, he was just waving or I was doing the, fly eagles fly at a baggie of. Fox had the pad to the baggie of. Fox had the pad to the. these stands and there was a guy doing the fly and he was flapping a bag of blow. There's a lot of talk about cocaine recently with this cocaine bear. Cocaine bear. Cocaine bear looked great.

It looked great. He did it? Yeah, what the hell happened? You guys. We got attacked. There was an ad. I saw it last night while I was watching. Drug tested the bear. I was watching Browns Broncos, the Drive. 1986. We'll talk about that in a minute. You know, what are we

calling that segment? Friday. Friday flashback. football, faith, family football, all the Fs. Anyways, that guy, that guy deserves an award. I don't know what award it is, but...

Cocaine Bear. Cocaine Bear, last night I'm watching this game, and there was an ad that popped up for cocaine bear. It was three seconds long. It was just the guy going, that bear had cocaine! And then they showed the CGI bear. That was it.

You know, like Lake Placid? You remember Lake Placid? It's going to be the... same movie. It's like Sharknado, Lake Placid. Well, Lake Placid tried to be serious. Yeah. They wasted all that fucking time trying to be, just show me the alligator. Dad used to put Lake Placid on

for us, all the time. It was the closest VHS to the thing and he was just popping in. Yeah. That would be it. If it wasn't Lake Placid, it was Deer Hunter. You got deer hunter a lot. Oh, I got deer hunted so bad in Montana. 20 people crowded around the TV. It's raining. What do we do?

Dad's got it. Deer Hunter. Heroic, uh, you know, just out of left field. Hey guys, just check this movie out,

Deer Hunter. It's pretty good. God damn, dude. Felt like I was being held captive. I felt like I was in Vietnam. Okay. Can I say that?

Yeah, okay. Fucking, there's, there's like a six year old in the room and they're doing, who keeps looking at me? They're doing roulette. Okay.

Russian roulette. Russian roulette. Uh, Christopher Walkin falls dead. Spoiler alert. It's disgusting. Also, we got to give an STL Memorial Award out to the guy that you showed me on Instagram, Kyle. Yeah, guy by the name of Barry Bremen.

I follow a dude on Instagram named Frank Michael Smith who gives these like one minute explanations of stories. And he's pretty awesome. And Barry Bremen came up on my feed because of him. And he is a guy that used to get dressed. Remember the guy who dressed up like Clay Thompson and tried to get into the Oracle Arena or whatever the fuck is called? Yeah, for sure. It got kicked out. Well, this guy, Barry Bremen was his predecessor.

He's like the OG, the great imposter. So from a period of 1979 to 1986, he was 6'4, he was lean, so he had the build, you know, white guy with the hair, 6'4, looks like basketball, baseball. Looks like a center in 1970. He did all this stuff between 79 to 86.

He posed as a major league baseball umpire in the World Series. He played in a major league baseball all-star game. He was a player in the NBA All-Star game. He was a referee in the NFL during a game. He was a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. And he played around, of golf. Dallas Cowboys cheerleader.

He was a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. Yeah, he also posed as an Emmy Award acceptor. I need more on the Cowboys cheerleader thing. Barry Bremman was the original wedding crasher for sports. Dude, amazing. Guys, amazing. Like, how did I never hear this guy? People say, who would you invite to a cocktail, you know, dinner?

Barry Berman. Barry's coming. Yeah, dude, no question. They should make a movie about him. Dude, they should make a movie about him. That could be your big break. Who would play him? No, not making.

That could be your big break. That could be my big break. Athletic enough, but bad enough at basketball that when I get out there in the layup line with the bowls, you people, you know? I can't wait for that scene where you have to method act as a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. Oh, it's going to be crazy. But if he pulled it off, dude, they were showing him out there. His wife. Shagging fly balls.

Yeah, legit. Like, he's out there with fucking Ricky Henderson catching fly balls, dude. If he's senior. What the fuck? his wife Margo said He's a self-fulfilling a grand fantasy to be in the limelight He feels if you have no guts You have no glory in your life

Bremen was a self-proclaimed jock Who regularly played touch football Basketball and softball This is great Where is this guy? Is he alive? His other advice to other monsters Oh my God

Don't do it It's against the law stay away This is my act You know the dinner table question You know like your party question. I mean, like, I would, if I could bring one guy back to life, it might be him. So for the, the one that really stood out to me was the fact that he played a round of golf in the U.S. Open. He was a seven handicapped, but he snuck into the Inverness golf club in

Toledo, Ohio, played a practice round with Wayne Levy and Jerry Pate. Pretty crazy. Also, pretty easy to do that in golf, though, if you're good enough, because, you know, like so many fucking golfers, you haven't heard it. Yeah. So, so. So, it's, In December of 79, Bremen posed as a Cowboys cheerleader in a Cowboys R-word team. Helved at Texas Stadium in Irving, Texas. In preparation, Bremen lost 23 pounds, practiced drag routines with his wife.

She was in on it. Had a replica Dallas Cowboys cheerleader uniform custom made, shaved his legs, and spent $1,200 of his own money to make it all happen. You know, they don't have the Super Bowl, the Super Bowl won game footage. like they lost it, I need this footage. Like what footage would you bring back? It might be that footage.

I want to see his moves. It's got to be. It's like Robin Williams. With 6-7 in white boots, man. Remember when Robin Williams went as the cheerleader? Yes. I think we got a Cowboys cheerleader. Yeah.

Anyways, that's crazy. Yes, STL Memorial Award. Real quick before Peter Schreger, we've got Friday Flashback Football on a Wednesday. Because, you know, I tell me. I'd call it a freak show Friday with who we're covering. Yeah.

Well, I tell Macon these stories about these old games, and he just looks at me like I'm fucking, like I have a dick on my forehead. So I figured I'd try it on a Wednesday. Yeah. But the drive, Broncos, Browns, 1986. Okay, I was popping around last night on YouTube. I landed on this game. And I had never seen the drive.

I had never actually watched it. You watched the highlights. You guys have seen the drive. Okay, it was fucking crazy. first off, John Elway was a mutant. Yeah. He was an absolute, like you know, but you don't know. Like, because everybody that grew up in our age range watched the 90s, Elway, when he got his rings late.

And, you know, he was a different kind of player. It was like Peyton at the end. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And young Elway, you said it earlier. I was trying to figure out who he reminded me of. Like, there's a play in the drive where he takes the snap. he backpedals to 14 yards and then get their running.

14 yards. Okay? And he's built like a fucking horse, dude. And he's like legitimately like a Bronco. Yep. And he's backing up to 14 yards. And then he rolls left back across his body,

throws a ball 40 yards. It's like Justin Herbert, as you said, mixed with Josh Allen. Yeah. Mix with you said Mahomes. I mean, the guy was...

I say Mahomes just based on always baseball back. I mean, the ability to do whatever he wants with any arm angle at any platform while running. Yep. There was a reason that the Yankees were salivating for this guy. And he was cut. That's what Howie said on the show a couple times. He said how John Elway was Patrick Mahomes before Patrick Mahomes.

Yeah. And it makes sense. There you go. It really does. Motherfuckers covered in mud the whole drive. Like there was so much mud on that feet. He was so much mud on the back of his teammate. Yes.

He slid out of bounds. It was like wiping his hands. Dude, that stadium, there was a roll of toilet paper, just Charmin rolling, like unrolling. Single ply. Nobody was doing anything about it. They scored the touchdown to tie it after Cozar dropped a bomb for like 50 yards to, you know, white, wide receiver. I hope Cozar got his job back to him. Well, I don't remember, no?

He gambled on the game. Yeah, he gambled. Yeah, yeah. That was what it was. About you, Bernie. Anyways, yeah. And he was gambling. Pete Rosen, right?

Yeah. Okay. We win, right? So, yeah. So that takes balls to bet on Deshaun Watson. He did bet on the fucking bounce. Who are they playing in the Giants? He's betting on the sharper image pitch, man.

Yeah. Okay. And again, it was one of those, like, first bet in a sportsbook kind of thing. The drive. The takeoffs and the runs and the diving. But Kyle. And then the throws across the middle of the field. Like you can really see the zip on the football.

Yeah. It's the Justin Herbert zip from the 9, 10 yard line to Keenan Allen, the middle of the end zone where you're like, I didn't even see the ball. There was like not enough pixels there. He was playing today's ball back then. Yes. And, you know, like I was going to say when they scored that touchdown to tie it, somebody threw like a beach ball into the end zone.

Like nobody remarks on it. Tom Jackson's in a melee. Yeah. Our Tom Jackson with Boomer and Tom Jackson. And like it's just fucking. chaos, man. Like football in the 80s was chaos. No cell phones. Those fans were locked in. Tom Jackson's a 5-11, 215, 215, 20-pound middle linebacker. Crazy. It's wild. You look up all the, like, uh, height weight of those

offensive linemen. It's all mid-200. It's wild. And I'm speaking of like personnel. I'm looking at this tight end. They're like, uh, this guy caught a ball. His name's, uh, Mowgli. Uh, and they're like, yeah, big pass catching tight end. I'm like, this guy is a tackle, bro. Like he was, they haven't listed like 260. There's no way. Go look up this Mobley guy. Which is bigger than the Broncos center. The Broncos center was 240.

That's crazy. It's crazy. And the best part of the whole thing is they have a barefoot kicker. Yep. Do you realize like what social media would do with that today? What Twitter would be doing with that? Like the close ups of his foot, he was, it was like 20 degrees out there. The wind's whipping.

He doesn't have like a footie on the sideline, like a moccasin to put. That's the thing about barefoot kickers. You're not going to be taking off a shoe and putting it on. You've got to be ready to roll. He's barefoot the whole time. Rich Carlos is his name and think he plays in Denver. So it's snowing sometime in the winter. So he's running out there with snow on the ground sometimes in some of these games.

His fucking foot, they showed a fucking close-up of this thing. So battered. Before he hit the game-winning field goal. Yeah. And the guys, like, all his knuckles were white. Yeah. His little toe knuckles. it was a barefoot kicker, huge tight ends,

John Elway's a mutant. NFL films has like a look back on barefoot kickers, and it examines some of these guys from the 80s because they haven't had one since like 89 or something. Bring back barefoot kickers, just for the sake of social media. Yeah, straight on ones are good. Yeah, like they just run straight up. Bring back single bar face masks, straight on kickers.

They were all doing that. And fat kickers. Yeah. Fat kickers is great. Bring back fat kickers. Last thing, Bill Cowher was out there. Bill Cowher was out there. And as you pointed out,

Cowher was a special teams coach for Cleveland. I caught him on the sideline. I'm like, oh, my God, I know that jaw anywhere. But as you pointed out, Dennis Allen. Yeah, Dennis Allen was an assistant for Dan Reeves. Obviously, the Saints Head Coach. And Mike McCarthy, Cowboys coach, was an assistant for Schottenheimer. So he still has some guys around.

That's way younger than he is. That's crazy. Living in New Orleans. He looks 40 now. All right.

his show now he's on mine it's good to see my guy love being here first time uh i've joined when kyle's on the show and i was saying before we got on on kyle i think he kicked ass doing the cbs stuff this year and i love the work you both do on this thanks a lot dude we're happy to have you i'm glad i could join this one well like i said with everything going on it felt like there was a rush of news that kind of went under the radar and there was a bunch of like leads on coaching hires and that sort of thing like i i don't know this i'm no better than you on this stuff like i'm I'm not that plugged in. So who do I call?

I call Peter. Where do we start? Okay, like first off, the games this weekend, San Francisco, they were in such a good spot. And it feels like now it's like, what the hell do we do all over again? Happens quick. How do you deconstruct that situation? And what would you do if you were John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan in the off season? It comes at you fast because they had won 12 straight.

They were feeling themselves. Everything was great. And then, you know, on the first drive of the game, Purdy goes down. we find out today, that's a six-month recovery for a UCL straight. So you got the quarterback situation, which is one thing. And then you hear that Trey Lance might be ready in three to four weeks. All right. So now suddenly Trey Lance might be back.

But Garopolo's a free agent. Purdy had this great ride, but he's not going to be able to throw football till training camp. And you might have Rogers on the market. You might have Brady on the market. So quarterback is like paramount. That's the first thing, right? And then Damico Ryan is most likely going to get this Houston job. I say that today as I record this with you guys on a Tuesday.

feel like that's that's what everyone is hinting towards around the league in my seems like it yeah as a four o'clock yeah so you got a you got to then replace amico ryan's as your defensive coordinator so those are two spots right there um of course there's all this stuff comes into play because i feel like that entire nfc championship game is just tainted right now and it's nothing against the eagles they could have beaten anybody that we but like we don't know and all that 49ers momentum all that stuff like in one fell swoop like in one 60 minute game all the wind can be knocked out of them. And it's, wow, we're right back here at square one.

Who's our quarterback? Who's our defensive coordinator? It could be that easy, but it also could be that difficult over this next few weeks. I would argue, I mean, like, definitely if I were an objective fan and not like an Eagles fan, I'd be like, yeah, that sucks. It wasn't a very good game. I do think, you know, like, at least it was an injury where it was dictated by the other team taking advantage of something.

And I think, like, you know, like, that was the pass rush. I mean, when you hit a quarterback repeatedly, I mean, you don't try to hurt. hurt the guy but um you know like an injury that comes from that is much different than a guy jogging out and warmups and you know tearing his ACL so they're blocking with tight ends too and it's like that's a son reddick yeah it was bad it was like yeah come on so um i i don't know what they do it it really does confound me they've had so much success and uh you know i called them like the the mini buffalo bills the other day like on a smaller kind of scale they'll look back at this era and say, damn, we were way closer than we even knew some years. And I feel bad for him.

You know, the year that no one talks about is 2020 where they missed the playoffs where, you know, they had Bosa injured, Kiddle injured all these guys. They had to live all of December in, you know, the Renaissance Hotel in Glendale, Arizona because their hometown county, it was like COVID rules. So they've had crazy shit happen to them. And they've been to three NFC championship games in four years. They have no Super Bowl rings to show for it. Yeah. I've to Kyle a bunch, and this is all like off the record. He brings up Brady's name a lot in like just conversation. And Brady obviously is San Francisco kid. He's from the Bay Area. We know the photos of him with the Dwight Clark jersey. To me, if you could bookend your career with

Patriots and then, you know, you win a Super Bowl with Tampa and then you end it with a couple years in San Fran or one year in San Fran, your hometown team, it's a pretty good narrative. I don't think it's crazy to say Brady to the 49ers if you're looking at the entire landscape of the league and where potential landing spots are. Do you have that lean right now with Brady? I mean, like, where would you? I mean, I saw, hey, he was looking at schools in Miami. Well, his family lives there as well.

So it's pretty standard. But, like, where do you think there's more chatter than, you know, than other places? You know, the fact that Tampa Bay is now, like, interviewing all these offensive coordinators. And you're hearing Keeney McArdo's name and Todd Monkin, like, it doesn't sound like Brady's the one hand picking that. So that, to me, is, like, Tampa's probably unlikely if they're going to bring back Brady and he wants too, he would have a big role in who the offensive coordinator is. They're not going to assign that to him. Yeah. Um, his kid, he's got, all right, his one son goes to school here in New York City where I live. He's got, um, other kids who are down there in Miami where he was touring. I, I think for a one year deal or

like a two year deal, I don't think it's crazy that Brady would say, all right, I'm going to play, you know, eight home games in San Francisco. I'll get a place out there and in the off seasons, I'll be in Miami or whatever it is. So I don't think the geography is as big of a deal as everyone else is saying the two teams that everyone brings up are the Raiders because of McDaniels. But I mean, Chris, you were teammates with Brady while he was with under McDaniels. There's a relationship there. I don't know if he's uproading his entire life to like go run and play for Josh. Well, maybe it's like grasses.

You know, I thought the grass was greener, but I kind of like the security and just the devil you know, like Josh is. The big question I have. I've argued with him on the sideline, the whole thing. The big question I have in this situation is when we saw Peyton Manning go to Denver, he had complete autonomy of the entire situation. I mean, down to what they called him, he chose his pronoun to be 18.

They were like, you call me 18, this is how we run meetings, this is how we run practice, and we're going to win football games and one they did. It's interesting to see if Tom Brady elects to go to Vegas because I wonder if you can have that

complete autonomy in a place like Las Vegas in the silver and black. I just don't know if that's in the card. San Francisco just makes so much storybook sense to me. Yeah, it's hometown. Guys, I want to break some news. This is from Adam Schaefter. The Saints and Broncos are finalizing compensation, and you had a feeling in return

for Super Bowl winning head coach, Sean. Do you really say, Chris, that before we went live, I said this might go down any time in a second. So I kind of had it before Schaefter, just didn't report it. There we go. You heard it first on Greenlight in real time. It's real to me, damn it. Yeah.

real time scoop you know adjusted for podcast release um but that's crazy i mean what's yeah i mean he's got he must have a great blueprint there for uh what he plans to implement well i remember i remember this fall kyle talking to dad and like i can say this now but like you know hearing him talk to sean peyton about the games on tv and i'd be like what is he saying about like russell wilson and you know he he seemed to be confused that they couldn't get it going. Like, you know, it's like one of these things where it's like, almost like I could fix that. Yeah. You know, like the player watching the game. I could make that play. It's like your old man watching the plumber. Yeah. Yeah. And I feel like he was sitting

on set from what it sounded like and saying, why don't they just run more of what he's comfy? Can I tell you? Can I tell you? Your dad's in that room. I'm with him every Sunday also. I'm there also. He is a treat to watch these games with. And I, you know, the Russell's, stuff because those last few weeks, you know, Broncos kept on coming up after they fired Hackett. We would watch the, and he, you know, he would say, Drew lives in San Diego, Brees, so does Russell. He's like, I coach Russell in the Pro Bowl. He's like, they're still good football in Russell Wilson. I don't know the guy well enough to say that he can turn it around and all this stuff. I will get to know him if that's the opportunity. But both he and Kyler, because Kyler became a topic, too,

once we knew that Cliff was going to get fired. And he would say the same thing. Like, those guys are awesome. Like, there's still a lot left. Yeah, they're good football players. He thinks Kyle is fixable. I mean, that's interesting, you know. I mean, but again, that's what makes these guys great is they think they can fix any problem. Like, because they're so bright.

And, you know, offensive minds, man. The unknown is on offense. Yeah, yeah. I think he can fix it. That's why when we did best outlooks for, you know, next three years, we picked five teams ahead in here. And one of the teams, for me, was the Broncos. Like, yeah, we made a lot of fun of them.

but they could land Sean Payton. And he could fix, and there's the Sports Center thing. Sorry, we already know. Fucking chill out. I'm getting notifications here. But that's why I like the Broncos, because Russell Wilson's still in there. I think he's got to make less off-scheduled plays.

I think that was his bread and butter in Seattle. And now he doesn't have that ability anymore to the degree that he did. And I think Sean Payton can bring out that like, Kate, let's win under control and take the profit. And we don't have to rely on that stuff. One thing that Sean Payton did a really good job of with Drew Breeze, obviously Drew and Russell, both not the tallest tools in the tool shed. Russell and Drew both had a really high level of success at the top of the pocket,

like deep top of the pocket. I'm talking usually quarterbacks start their step up at 10 to 12 yards. They're at 13, 14 yards. They can see more back there. I didn't see a lot of that this year. Phil Sims had that to say to me and I watched it and I was like damn you're right he came and see over his line right yeah maybe Sean and that's why we loved rushing him heavy play action bombs down the field opportunity yeah for Russell to see the play develop in front of him but that's

why we liked rushing him because he said it nine 10 yards I would say to you know Peyton again this is all coming very fast we're doing this live like I have a whole empty a whole bucket to empty if you want to just talk about Peyton of the Broncos basically I said to him I go yeah you know, I don't know about the money. I don't know, but you're looking at Herbert and you're looking at Mahomes and you're choosing to go up against those guys every year, twice a year. If you go to Houston, that's full autonomy. And if you go to Arizona, I mean, Stafford's not there much longer.

You're up against Gino Smith. You're up against whatever else is out there. And then F. C. West, and I'm like, and he was like, Denver is an amazing football town. And he kept on hitting this thing about the Penner family and the Walton family and their resources, but also how sharp they were. And he had a lovely meeting with Condoleezza Rice, who's a former secretary of state, who's part of this ownership group. And I'm telling you, Sean Payton was like so in love with this idea of the Broncos fan base in the history of Broncos football that all that stuff about competition. And he wasn't saying that, oh, fuck, I can go up against anybody.

Don't worry about me. It was a different tone. it was like, no, there's a few franchises. Denver's one of those where it's like a crown jewel franchise. Okay, well, good. So we get Sean Payton and Denver. The league just got more fun, like for real. Like the league's better for this.

It's better. Okay. D'emico Ryan's, what is it about 430? Let's go. Is it official? Yeah. He's the Houston Texans coach, six-year deal. Is that long?

Five is usually what they get. Yeah. So I wonder with, Houston's history if he's like, I need a little extra security because I wouldn't trust them. No. And if he wanted to play off, you know, there's a couple other vacancies open. I'm a hot name. I had the leverage in this one. Good for him. Good for I love former players getting into coaching. Everything I hear, they love him. He's, you know, that's home to his family. It's home to his wife. Obviously, he was a great player there, second round pick who went on to be a captain all those years.

I love the guy as a player. Everybody you talk to legitimately, like Bo Allen gave his two cents on it. He was like, shit. He got me like literally move my big ass into the right gap and then went and made like a TFL. Like I heard stories like that all the time. And obviously his defense was great.

I mean, I thought they played admirably last week. I think they got to get better inside. Kenlaw got blown off the ball a bunch. But San Francisco, pretty good work there. and a division, as you mentioned, that's like, who's in that thing? I mean, like, what are you afraid of? You know, obviously, Doug Peterson's got the Jags rolling a little bit,

but Tennessee's in this weird flux state. I don't know where they're going. All those picks also, you know, they trade Watson. They just have a be bevy of picks. So if you don't screw those up, you can add players. And I think, you know, it's going to be an interesting thing. If they hire Ryans, and you guys will love this, and especially you, Kyle, like, all right, so you hire Ryan's,

who's the offensive coordinator going to be? because that's going to be the voice of the offense. So if you draft Bryce Young, it's almost like Ryan's has to come with almost like a co-head coach because if you get Bryce Young, you're dealing with a rookie quarterback and you're building this really young offense. I would say the offensive coordinator selection is almost as important

as who they have as the head coach there. I wonder who that be. I wonder who, I mean, there's probably, you know, they got a whole back room full of Mike McDaniels. I was going to say, yeah. They just go back there in San Francisco. They're like, are you up. Pick the nerdiest, motherfucker.

You in the corner. And that's who we're bringing. And that's the guy who's going to get 28 points a game for us. Yeah. Do you know Shaw McVeigh? Yeah. Okay, come with me. You're going to Houston. What do you think of the report of Vic Fangio going out of Miami?

I think it's an amazing hire. I think he's the best, yeah. He's the man. He's so good. And McDaniel tried bringing him last year, and he's like, I need the year off. And I know it was one of his great desires to bring Vic with him. He kept Josh Boyer, who was there from the floor as there. You know, that didn't work out at the end.

Boyer was let go. And now if they can get Vic Fangio, it's one of the great coups of all. I mean, this is a guy that every head coach wants to bring in. Now, I'll say this. If Damiko takes the gig in Houston,

that defensive coordinator job is now open in San Francisco. Right. Sean Peyton, if Sean Payton goes to Denver, that's one of his buddies. Like, I don't, until that thing is announced by the dolphins, I don't believe anything.

Especially with this news that we're hearing now with Sean Payton, that becomes a hot seat or a cold seat that needs to be filled. If you're a Dolphins fan and you get Vic Fangio, that is a homeowner. That'd be a big win. You got two of the brightest minds in the coordinator chairs in your building. Boyer was in New England when I was there. Was he DB's coach? D.Bs, something like that.

Yeah, he was DB's coach. Chad O'Shea, too. I saw interview. Where's he now? I saw Chad's name on one of the lists. Well, I saw he was on a Baltimore's list, I believe, which was interesting. And that leads me to Lamar Jackson, who has been franchised exclusively. And that's the report again.

Are we, are we like, do we believe the report? Has, anything? It's what I've heard. It's until the team does it. Like,

I never run with it myself until I see it from the team. And I know that sounds like I'm being too prudent. I sit on the show on Peyton News and Schefter gets a million retweets. But I'm like, until it's done, I'm like, yeah, right.

Why you're a professional thing. But people know. I don't know if I'm a professional. Shepter makes a lot more dough than I do. Maybe I should do it the other way. Well, you know, uh,

Schfter is on TV a fucking lot. lot. It's crazy. He's really good at what he does. He's always got his phone. I'm like, he's the only guy who's allowed to sit at the desk and just answer his phone. You know you make a lot of money when you just answer your phone on TV. But I'd almost be more interested in what's in his phone than what's on TV. I get it. Look, Instagram or Hills. He's liking memes. I think that, you know, the Lamar situation, that that's like seems like at the best of both worlds. He gets a chance to make great money and also pumped it on a year and they get a chance again but like I want to see where that relationship is it didn't we talked about it on my podcast I'm surprised I mean like I thought it would be

the non-exclusive franchise tag I thought we'd be looking at trade options but yeah and that number isn't isn't set till after free agency no so that's another thing you go up and all that and especially if all these quarterbacks get paid if you see a big you know deal what what's interesting is they don't have an offensive coordinator yet. So what offense are we running with Lamar Jackson? The great Roman thing was beat to a drum. Maybe he gets to pick it. Like, I don't know. Something crazy like that. When you look at, when you look at Lamar Jackson's ability and like he can just take over a football game, but you seemingly have a guy who is a question mark towards the end of the season from a health standpoint. Yeah. The guy that we really like in this room is Justin Fields in Chicago and I'm a former bear.

So I got to ask you, what do you think the best practice is? here with the number one pick coming up and a quarterback that you can either leverage for more or build your franchise around what do you think they're going to do in Chicago I would dangle it I would see if anyone wants to come up and get the kid young um he apparently was the number one overall guy all season now the draft nicks are coming out and they're like well actually will levis might be a better option at quarterback if they did that and will levis flamed out it would be oh my god after what mahom said yesterday mahum's dad goes on just dad said that.

Just, yeah, it's, anyways. I read that and I, I, so, so you're not, they're not sure, because it's not Poles's guy. No, yeah. It's not, uh, Eber Fluse's guy either. They've inherited Justin Fields. They did, um, but he was outstanding in what they asked him to do. And I think Getsy really liked him. I'd be shocked if they moved on from him.

He didn't do enough to be, you know, moved on. But that was like, that's a rare deal. And Josh Rosen dealt with it. Other guys have dealt with it. But I don't think that's the case. I know that's been the report that's been. out there. I would say if if you like Will Anderson or you

like the Carter kid out of Georgia, you're not going to go wrong, taking a big defensive line. I love Carter. I would dangle that around and see if there's a team that, you know, is willing to come up and get Bryce Young. Yeah. It's good to have options. They need a good team in Chicago, man. They do. They've got the money to do it. They do.

And I think Poles is the right guy. If you could wave your magic wand as an NFL fan and make one franchise like competitive again, is that it? Oh, absolutely. Is it? Talk about crown jewel franchises, Shraggs. That's right.

Shrague's thinking about it. That's the one. Yeah, bears are great. I think the Jets in New York would be really cool too. Jets would be really, yeah, great. It's never been, I mean,

in the last 20 years, they've never been one of those teams. They went to the AFC championship game a couple times, of course, in the late 2000s, but like, with Rex, but gosh, the New York City market was really alive with the Giants. If the Jets could be good,

that'd be awesome. Yeah, it would be. Okay, let's see. What else we got here? Oh, Sinci's coaches, man. I mean, Anoromo, Brian Callahan, they're supposedly in the mix. Are they really in the mix?

Are they just interviewing or what? Coach Lou is there right now. Aniromo is in Arizona. He's interviewing for the job as we speak, I believe. So that's cool. He didn't have any head coaching interviews. And then the season gets done. And then he finally gets asked.

He's 56 years old. He's a mastermind on defense. Everyone loves him as a player. So curious to see if he's the head coach that's going to work with Kyler as a defensive coordinator. And then Callahan interviewed with the Colts job. job. And I thought that was like a good fit. Get a young quarterback. He's 38, all this great experience with Burrow. But it sounds like he wasn't a finalist for that job. So he goes to Arizona interview also.

And then early this morning, Mike Kafka, the Giants, O.C., who like him. I got to say, were you guys, were any of you guys teammate, I guess in Philly? I was on the, on his offense last year in Kansas City when he was the quarterback coach with Mahomes and we became buddies. We talk about him all the time on the well the my history on him is my buddy from the south side knows him growing up and he's like he's the fucking best so my god's good with you're good with me he's good with me and then he did a great job this year i thought you know interestingly enough he it's funny he's like this great obcomic thing and paul rudd the actor was it was as he lives in new york i saw him i was at an event he was there we were talking and he's like want to know it's interesting he's like what he's like my mother

lives next door to mike kefka i'm like that's funny shit big city oh my god when giants play the chiefs Yeah, right? Yeah, there's like real, they're frenemies. That's awesome. Kafka's the man, and he's interviewed for that Arizona job too. So the Arizona thing, they're casting a really wide net, and I think they might be playing it right in that there is no rush. Yeah.

There is no rush because, you know, they weren't bringing in Sean Payton at the end of the day. They weren't going to end up getting that trade done. It just wasn't going to happen with Arizona with the money that he's asking for the picks, all that stuff, wasn't going to happen. So they could take their time and they can make the right pick. But the Kyler situation's huge. Cliff, who I'm biased. I'm a cliff guy, obviously.

He's a friend of mine, and we go back a long way. And I thought Cliff is the ultimate players coach. And if you can't get along with Cliff, that's one thing. He's cool as shit. He's the man. Yeah. Everybody, everybody, he's like, honestly. Everybody I ever talked to about him says he's awesome.

Rissillo likes him too. He's like, chill as. He's the dude's dude. But maybe that wasn't the kind of coach that Kyler Murray needed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right, exactly. Exactly. He doesn't, yeah, he doesn't need.

Everybody's different, man. Some people need, you know, you know, boot in their, you know. I played, I played my worst with cool coaches. And I played my best with some of the coaches where you're like, man, I want to make him proud today. So he will just shut the fuck up. That's so interesting. I played my best with former player coaches.

Okay. Because I respected them. Yeah, like, you know, it was just like, hey, if I was a vet and I knew what I was supposed to do, I need to be told what to do schematically and that sort of thing. but who can actually coach a D-Lignment better than somebody who's done the work? And also, like, you don't want to disappoint that guy. Yeah. You know, Clyde Simmons or, you know, and I had great coaches.

Mike Waffle, a whole bunch of guys. But, yeah, when there was that player in the room that was sitting back there, like the assistant D-Line coach, yeah, you were like. Harry Heistad is the name that sticks out to me. He's an offensive line coach, Notre Dame legend. He was Notre Dame. Then he was Giants for a while, right? He groomed Zach Martin. He groomed the,

left out Ronnie Stanley McClintchy McClintie, Quentin Nelson I mean these are his guys Yeah And coaches that let us out of meetings early When we have nothing else to do If we're through the cut up

Can we go home? We have much less to talk about Than you fucking guys on the other side of the wall Go upstairs to your desk I will play my heart out For a guy that lets me out seven minutes early That's amazing And like Cliff's old thing was

You know and I don't know if it's Like DeAndre Hopkins It was like you can practice as much As you want like And if you need a day here and there, DeAndre Hopkins, you've earned that. Larry Fitzgerald, his first year there. Larry, if you need to do something during the day and it's a travel day and we're all staying

in a hotel, like, I respect you enough and you're a legend, you can go do that. And like the players, I mean, JJ Watt, those guys will sing the highest, you know, but again, all right, that's the culture you set. Kyler sees that and maybe Kyler just needs a hard ass. Yeah, you got to have, yeah, Fish was great. Jeff Fisher the same way where like you wanted to play for him because, but, Guys that aren't self-starters can struggle. You know what I mean?

So I think that's fair. How about Kellan Moore in L.A.? I mean, like, is this a move that Chargers fans should be excited about? I think so. Their offense was really good in Dallas, numbers-wise. And they got to the playoffs the last two years, and they sputtered down the end. But look, that was eight years for Kellyn Moore in that offense. As a player and then as a coach,

and then, of course, as the offensive coordinator, I think it was time for both them. And, like, McCarthy was one of these deals where, you know, I'm reading into this a little bit, and I haven't spoken to Mike directly. But it's, hey, if I'm getting a third year here, and I'm an offensive coach, I'm going to do it my way. And, you know, I inherited Kellyn Moore,

and that's great. And he's going to do his thing. He's going to spread his wings, and he's going to get Justin Herbert. But, like, I think that was a good parting of the ways as far as what's going to get them over the top. And if it's sink or swim for Mike McCarthy, fine, let it be on my plate calling.

Let it be on my offense. Yeah, that's interesting. Also, the way that they performed this year underpowered with the offensive line disjointment up front for Dallas and then the backup quarterback, Cooper Rush played great. The offense was able to keep that team. Obviously, the defense was what was carrying up, but the offense kept them in ball games. Every QB is different, like their personalities, the scheme fit, and he just couldn't solve DAC, like consistency.

You know, like the – Dax figuring out how to solve the – you had the commander's game. Then you had – well, right, somebody might be able to bring it out of him. you know and same thing for herbert i think he could be you know cowboys were like 10 in yards per attempt or something like that this year obviously that's the thing that everybody knows like you have to fix there like justin can't throw the ball with that cannon five yards down the field the whole fucking game and you know i think kellen will at least improve that aggressiveness that they didn't have last year um i mean they they had that that uh what's it called the next gen stats like the drive

charts on Herbert in that playoff game and it was embarrassing. It was all four-yard passes. Yeah, it's bad. It's a waste. It's like the, I said this, like the NFL needs to get that higher right. You know, like it's, it's such an important hire for the league. It's contracts coming up and he's going to have a healthy left

tackle there too. I mean, contracts come up. Although that kid, Salier played really well for them this year. Played well, but nobody does it quite like that. Yeah, nobody doesn't quite like Slate. All right, well, Peter Schreger, we covered a lot of ground. He's had two huge scoops that I didn't have at all and we're here reacting to. Well, we kind of had him. How was Jamal Williams today? Last question

because I saw he was on the show. If either one of you guys want to just come and do an hour with us in the 9 o'clock hour and just have fun, like, I'll tell you, Jamal was so fun. And it took a while to like just get to it. And then once he was in his groove, it was great. But like we're at that stage where there's no games other than one. Like we're just, we'll give you the podium, anybody, the platform, just come and have fun. And that guy's great.

Hey, 17 touchdowns last year. He's a free agent. And he can come on and be like, look, here's what. He's like, I really want to come back to Detroit. I hope they bring me back. And I'm like, you just lost all your leverage. All your leverage, but it's okay. You're wholesome as fuck, dude.

He means it. Yeah. Which pays. Who's the best all-time player guest active that you were like, damn, this guy's a whiz? You know who is interesting? You guys ever get to know Mack Hollins? Yes, he's amazing, dude.

Mac Hollins is the best. I'm so glad you said that. He was on the Eagles with you, I guess, Chris, right? Yeah. And then. Dolphins. Raiders. Yeah.

Shows up on our show, and he takes off his shoes, and he sits there. He puts his feet up on the table. barefoot. I'm like, what in the world? He's like, I don't like wearing shoes. They make me feel weird. Like, just awesome. He's a weird guy, dude. Yeah, that's, that's different. I mean, to do that, but then he was good? Or were you just going to tell me that he came on and put his feet on the great. Okay, good. And he's like, I talked to him up. You were like, yeah, he put his fucking feet. No, we liked it. He was smart. He's an ambassador for the, for the Special Olympics,

like fully, fully evolved adult with a UNC education. You know, he's always good. You always get the backup quarterbacks are always good. Like we've had Josh McCown and the Josh McCown's the best. Josh McCown's amazing. Yeah, he's awesome. Josh's amazing. But like the Chase Daniels, the Colt McCoys, all those guys are really good and you get a different kind of insight of the game from them. But they all have too much money to ever want to do it full time.

And they got no ego because you're like I've been, I've been backing somebody up. Like I can give you my analysis with none of my ego mixed in. Totally. Okay, cool. Chad Henney's on that list. We took him, we, he went through the ringer here. We gave him. Sorry, Shrags. He's on the list. Shrags, appreciate you. You got to go break news or something. There's probably another head coaching.

Just wait. You have so much to learn. We just got a letter. Yeah. We just got a letter. We just got a letter. We just got a letter. We just got a letter.

It's awesome. The way they do that show is great. Okay. Mailbag. Now, Kyle, we had a whole list of fan submissions. But then you started writing on your little notepad. Yeah. I'm kind of wondering what you have there.

I got some stupid stuff on here that I thought was fun. First, I was thinking about travel. I got some travel coming up. I know there's a lot of NFL guys going on trips. What are three countries you would want to visit that you haven't been to and why? And I can lead you off with mine. I haven't done a lot of traveling, but one place I'd like to go to is Africa. One place you can get to get anywhere in Africa and pretty much, I feel like it's South Africa.

You had me in the first half, Kyle. Thought you were going to say the country was Africa. If you go north of South Africa, there's so much to see. You know, and half the nature documentaries I've seen planet Earth take place just north of South Africa. I know of a place. Number two. Well, hold on. Hold on a minute, plan.

I'm not going to Tanzania. Fuck. Number two. Japan. Okay. Yeah, dude. It just looks so awesome. I would love to go to Japan.

It's such an aesthetic. I'd love to go hang out. You would be huge in Japan. I'd love to go in the mountains and like in nature, but I'd also like to go experience city life. My uncle lives in Japan. Really? Hokkaido. Hikido.

I have a jersey. They get some of the Settiest snow fall. Number three would be Australia. Nice. Because number one, Australia is awesome and number two, it's a great setting off point for anywhere else in the southern hemisphere.

I'd like to go to Bali. I'd like to go to New Zealand. Yeah. Okay, not to Zag. But Michael Bennett spends a lot of time out there. He wears like big baggy pants and like bellbottomy pants and big sunglasses and like

you know, fashion forward shit and just walks around New Zealand. Seems like a good life. He says it's awesome. Yeah. He lives like a writer, like a famous writer. Like he lives in Brooklyn. He has kids? And yeah, he's fucking great dad.

So he's just like living. Yeah, his family just goes everywhere. Like they're the most worldly people. That's incredible. Anyways, New Zealand's awesome. So I hear. You should get Michael Bennett and take him to the Hobbit Village where they film, you know, the Lord of the Rings.

He's probably been there. walk through those really low He's probably been there That'd be cool Yeah wearing like a Steve Zizu hat Like a life aquatic hat That's the type of shit Mike wears I would like to go there

I want to go to Costa Rica Kyle That's awesome That's where I got engaged There's no army Nothing to worry about Army coming in there You're worried about the Army I'm going to get you

Yeah Shane Gillis is going to come to give me Rob Wrigal and Shane Gellis The Marine Corps will be there to kick down your door Um There's There's a couple more places

Croatia almost cracked My top three Oh yeah Horace is pretty Fucking sick They say it's great I was reading The New York City mayor

Eric Adams Yes Interesting character Yes He's entertaining Uh huh I don't know any of his policies But every time I see a clip

It's funny So apparently Battery Park City Is using dry ice To kill rats So Vermin So New York City is starting to use dry ice to kill rats

The quote Two million rats come out at night I hate rats And they're gonna hate me That's what the mayor said So what happens? That's what the mayor said Worst mayor ever

They're down in the summer like Worst fucking mayor ever. So Chris, local maintenance crews, local maintenance crews are dumping dry ice into the pesky rodents burrows in the trendy lower Manhattan neighborhood so that when it melts, it leaves behind carbon dioxide, which suffocates them. We're no stranger to having rodents here in Battery City Park,

so we wanted to make sure that we were able to feed them. Hold on a minute, play. What? You know, a bunch of hunters kill a bunch of deer. People are like, hey, big problem. You know, like deer, they're everywhere. This is a small game. But we're suffocating rats and everybody's like, no problem.

Have you seen the rats in New York? I know, but just because they're ugly doesn't mean they're not animals, huh? They need better PR. I'm just, I'm playing devil's advocate here. I mean, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. That's kind of it. Oh, no, Ratatouille. Rattitouie.

Splinter was in that. Tom and Jerry. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah. But I just think it's unfair. Eric Adams. Do your thing, play.

They're going to hate Eric. Adams, man. Chemical warfare on rats. Oh my God, dude. You don't like rain? We're going to dome the city. Rain is going to hate me. Boy, does my drop-top hate rain.

Okay, what else is on my list? What's on your list? Why are there more injuries now more than ever, seemingly in the NFL? I don't know. Maybe because you know about every goddamn one of them. Well, my thought is this. People are just bigger, faster, stronger. Yeah, definitely.

I was watching that, that 1986, the drive, thinking, goodness, gracious, some of the collisions today. Yeah. You put Fred Warner on the field in any day. Oh, my God. Fred Warner. People are going to go missing. Yeah, dude.

Yes. We don't know what happened at Tommy, you know, tough nuts. He just got. Last scene with Fred Warner. Apporated. At the hash. Yeah. And then the other one I was.

we were talking about landlock states. Yes, landlock states. Why don't you guys give me your top five? Landlock states. Easy. Top five landlock states. You know,

it's an easy one, two, three here for me. I got to go with Colorado, Montana, and Arizona. And I was really debating putting Montana at three in Arizona at two because it's more livable all year round in Arizona, certain parts. Yeah.

But Montana's special to us. And if I were to have to add two other ones, it would be, uh, the Dakotas would be one. Yeah. And Oklahoma. You combined the Dakotas and Oklahoma. Oklahoma? Yeah. You liked that because you were in a play called Oklahoma.

I was. There's a lot of reasons. There's a portrait of Kyle in my parents' bathroom. It's fucking black and white. He looks like a little Adonis. He's got his little cowboy hat on. He's got his little, you know, they just worship it. They still talk about that performance.

It's awesome. Oklahoma in high school and it was fun. He probably dominated the Oklahoma drill too. He did. I did. I did. I did. Yeah,

but anyways, that's why you like Oklahoma. I admit it. Yeah, so I like Oklahoma because every team that I've ever had from Oklahoma is awesome. A lot of the singer. A lot of them from Texas.

A lot of the singer-songwriters are from Oklahoma. Okay. And they all have a unique sound. Reed, you listen to a lot of music. I don't know if we have a lot of overlap in the country. department. The gentleman who's who's music.

Well, the gentleman whose music opens the podcast is from Oklahoma. There you go. So, there you go. Okay, I'll give you mine. Mine, interesting that you had and nobody went like the Dakotas in there. I still haven't had you

explain that. The Dakota's. You like Mount Rushmore a lot. So one thing that's really cool about the Dakota is they house the Badlands National Park and that's where Teddy Roosevelt went to mourn death of his wife and when Teddy Roosevelt went up there he found what I found when I drove through there it's like a real peace and solidarity yeah um when you're driving through there especially if you just stop and get out in one of those long stretches and you just take it take a seat on the side of the

man camp you might you know stop at a liquor store buy a pack of sigs smoke one on the side of the road and then drive the rest of your thousand miles it is wild that like you're driving through and it's just flat flat land right no but yeah and then you come around the corner and it's the bad land and it's just these it just drops. Imagine minus terrain. So instead of hills, it's like a bunch of stuff that has got it. Got it. That's cool.

Now what? I mean, it's, it's amazing. Okay. You could live there? Natural resources. You could live there? Natural resources.

If you were to buy a, if you and I were to go in on a massive place in, like, North Dakota and we were to do some research, we could have oil. Yeah. We could have barrels of oil. And just be like, take it. We're going to Costa Rica.

have no army. But why? Why we're just going to give people no one? They're going to give us money. Yeah. Thinkas. Give us monies. For Fincas.

Finkas. Finkas or farms. Okay. Got it. And the top two FCS football programs are in the Dakotas, North Dakota State, South of the state. Yeah. That's great, guys.

It's wild and wonderful. It's beautiful. Yeah. And it's gorgeous. And the whole John Denver thing, they stole that song. But that's okay. They're resourceful.

If your family is like third generation West Virginia, you're so lucky because they probably have the coolest land and the coolest property. Coolest shit. If they're not fucking mountain topping it, which sucks. And they're not jaded by living in some fucking city. Yeah, well, Kyle. Anyways, talk about West Virginia all day. Okay?

Nevada was on my list of landlocked states. Oh, really? Just because of Vegas. The rest of it's beautiful. It's vast. Yeah. How about Alaska for underrated? It's not landlocked. Yeah. No. Is it underrated? Is it? Yes. I feel like it is because no one of I think it's properly rated. You know when you look at a map? It's one of those things. As a kid, you look at a map and you're like, well, that's the size of Russia. That's big. And then you're like, well, Russia's not really that big. and the United States isn't that big. Russia or Alaska is so much bigger than people think it is. Well, part of that's because map projections are like

That's right. I used to walk around and say in high school. Alaska is so much bigger than you think it is. Just go look at that map in the library. Look how big it is. But it's even bigger than it looks on a map. Kyle, the names thing. Are we, Jalen helps.

Are we going to do the names thing? Yes. Okay, so we were talking about the Tony the Tiger commercial. Jalen Hertz is on a, commercial with Tony the Tiger. Yes. They're trying to change his name to Jalen Helps. And you have to go to this website,

you know, whatever. I think it's a QR code on the screen. You go to the website and he'll change his name. Yes. So it got me to thinking, what are some other athletes got me to thinking? That you could change their names and it would be fitting because I really like Jalen helps. You know, to play on Jalen Hertz. Yes. LeBron
