Excuse me, Ocho. It's time for
our first segment of the day, News
Cap. The 49
inspired defensive coordinator Steve Wilkes
after one season. Oh, my bad.
I forgot. I forgot. We got graphics.
Look at that.
Dude, it's big. My bad.
My bad, Ash. I'll get the hang of it.
This is only our second time, but I think by Sunday
I'll have it down pat.
In our first segment of the day, News Gap,
49ers fired defensive coordinator
Steve Wilks after one season.
Kyle Shanahan announced in their movie
saying Wilks was always
the outsider looking in.
Shanahan said, yes, that was
the hardest part. I knew that was a challenge.
It's tough, but it's real tough losing D'Amico.
It's tough losing Salah two years before.
Guess what?
Robert Salah was a defensive coordinator.
They lost the Super Bowl.
He didn't get fired.
He got another head coaching job.
D'Amico Ryan was the defensive coordinator,
and they lost the NFC Championship game.
He didn't get fired.
He got a head coaching job.
So, in other words,
are you really going to put all of this on?
Look, Ojo.
You know what?
Go ahead. I'm going to let you finish. I've known Kyle
Shanahan since he was 12.
I played for his dad. When we were
in training camp, he was there every day
shagging balls, doing a lot
of stuff. He wasn't there during the week because he was there every day shagging balls doing a lot of stuff he wasn't there during
the week because he was in school but on sunday before the cordless mike he was on the court
for his dad so i know cal shanahan 35 years that's how long i've known him 35 years
so this is not easy for me but but I think it deserves to be seen.
I don't agree with the decision
because there were some decisions that you made
like taking the ball.
Why the hell you take the ball in overtime
when you know the first score,
a touchdown will not win you the game.
And then you give everything,
then you give the opposing team
an opportunity to know what you got.
So they know like, guess what, Ocho?
Oh, they got a field goal.
Guess what?
We get a touchdown, we win.
But guess what, Ocho?
I got four downs.
Because I already know what I got to do.
That's why in college, they defer.
Because they want to see,
they want to know what they got to do.
Do they need a field goal because the team didn't score or do we need a touchdown?
What about you not running the football?
Even though you weren't gashing, but that was going to keep Mahomes off the field and that was going to tie them down.
So you made some mistakes.
I mean, look, Greenlaw didn't help
your cause. Are you not going to factor in
one of your best players goes
down on the flukiest accident
in Super Bowl history?
As fluky as the helmet catch was,
that injury to Greenlaw was
even more fluky. How many times
don't you have you stood on the sideline
and took off and ran on the field?
Yeah, many a times.
It's routine.
I don't know.
In my year, 14 years of playing
and all my years of watching,
I've seen somebody
start to run on the field and tear
their Achilles. Now, we've been on the sideline,
Ocho, when they had the cords and we see
guys, the cords, they pull it
and guys get their feet taken out from under them and they hurt
themselves like that.
But to just like,
and snap is Achilles.
No,
I haven't seen that,
but I do not agree with this because they held them.
19 to 19 points in regulation,
19 points.
Not only did they hold them in 19 points,
they have had a phenomenal season defensively all season long.
Defensively, they had a great season.
Under Wilks, they were a top defense, a top five defense in the NFL.
So some of the decision making, not only from the head coach, who needs to take accountability for the loss as well,
but let's talk about the other situations, the other big time games that Mr. Shanahan has
been in that he has lost. One as a coordinator with the Atlanta Falcons. Hello, you up 28-3.
They wouldn't run the ball. You stopped running the goddamn ball to take the time off the clock
and allow Tom Brady and the New England Patriots to come back. Let's talk about this game. In the third quarter, your best offensive weapon,
CMC, you stopped running the ball with him to put the ball in the air. There were two downs where
you should have run the ball. I think it might have, was it the third quarter? It might have
been the third, maybe the fourth quarter. You should have given the ball to CMC. A second down
and third down, you chose to throw the ball and And you gave the ball back to Patrick Mahomes.
Again, those are on you as the head coach.
You're making those calls.
One of the reasons why you left.
One of the reasons why you lost.
It wasn't Steve Wilt's fault, Ocho.
It wasn't his fault that the PAT got blocked.
You put that on Steve Wilt?
Listen, the special team debacle, that wasn't Steve Wilkes' fault either.
No.
Matter of fact, if they don't have that debacle on special teams
and Ray Ray gets that ball, you win the game.
Right.
You win the game.
You gave them momentum.
They scored a touchdown on that.
But here's the thing, Ocho.
It's the fact that he said losing
Salah, losing D'Amico.
Really?
When you still had the same top defense, even with
Wilks, it was still the same.
So Wilks was that bad. You make it
seem like you lost Spags.
Spags was the fourth time
defensive coach that won
Super Bowls. Bill Belichick
is a two-time as a D coordinator, and we
know he coordinated all those great defenses
in
New England. Bro, come on
now. And Robert Solomon, so
what about his defense? What about his
defense is doing?
Man, stop this. And for you to do that,
oh, we know losing Solomon was tough.
He lost. Robert
Solomon, last game as the
defensive coordinator for the San Francisco
49ers, was an L
after you had a 20-10 lead
in the fourth quarter.
The Kansas City Chiefs
scored 21 points.
So,
whose fault was that?
And guarantee you, if Sala didn't get a job,
he was coming back.
I get D'Amico's situation.
That was a fluky situation, Ocho.
Because second player of the game,
Riddick hits Purdy's elbow,
you know,
tears a ligament in his elbow.
I get that.
But to say, you know,
we knew it was going to be tough.
Like Steve Wilson's fettuccine.
Listen,
that's what we call a scapegoat. that's what we call a scapegoat.
That's what we call a scapegoat
to get some of the pressure off yourself.
And obviously, the media,
has the media failed for that
in understanding what's going on in the situation?
Of course not.
No, and then Nick Bosa talked about
we could have been better prepared.
For what?
You could have been better prepared
to know the rules in overtime.
And if you stop crashing your ass down
and let Patrick Mahomes get the edge,
you could have been better prepared.
So how prepared were you
in the first half when y'all was all over
Patrick Mahomes?
Prepared very well. Playing very well.
Now all of a sudden,
we could have been better prepared.
You could have done a better job.
49 is finished.
Finished 20-23. the season third in points.
They only allowed 17 points per game.
Wait.
Yes.
17 points per game.
When D'Amico Ryan was there, they only allowed 18 points per game.
So, obviously, this year.
They got better.
Last I checked, 17 is less than 18.
They got better.
They finished fifth in takeaways with 28 and had 22 interceptions
was tied for first in the league and obviously you know the 49ers finished the season 12 and 5
before you've been getting to before you can get into the playoffs yes wilks is a problem an issue
scapegoat that's the only that's the only thing there's really no other logical answer
to why you would fire mr wilks after a season like he's had and to say the man wasn't
outside of looking in wait those are those his words really yes move it moves saying wilkes
wasn't outside of looking in yeah that was the hardest part i knew that was a challenge it's
tough it was tough but it's real tough losing D'Amico. It's tough
losing Sala two years before.
So is he saying
he wasn't his choice
to begin with? When you say outside
looking in, you know what? He wasn't the guy I really
wanted, but I bought him in anyway.
You think that's what you're saying?
Look, the buck starts with Kyle.
I know John Lynch is the general manager,
but the buck starts with Kyle. I know how his is the general manager, but the buck starts with Kyle.
I know how his dad operated.
I know how he operates.
So if there was somebody that you thought was better,
you would have got him.
Clearly.
I just want Steve Wilks.
And look, I know Steve a little bit
because Steve was the head coach of my alma mater,
Savannah State.
So you see how he's worked his way up.
But he's got a raw deal in Arizona.
After one year, they fired him he's got a raw deal in arizona after one year they
fired it he got a raw deal in carolina after he did a great job filling in for matt rule
and he got the rawest of rawest deals and i know i don't give a damn about no pause he got a raw deal
yeah that's a bull that's a bull jive yeah it is and i just i just want somebody to give this man a a an opportunity
i believe he's earned an opportunity to have more than one effing year or seven job seven games on
an effing job right because that's all he's got no joke he got one year as the d coordinator in
san francisco and they make it seem like they they were bottom feeder defense. They gave up 17 points a game,
and he held Patrick Mahomes to 19 points in regulation.
Yeah.
And who was going to play offensively?
That should have beat.
And you already scored 19 in regulation.
Why are you over there bumping him?
There's some bull jobs.
Like I said, I think Steve Wilson's got the raw deal.
He's got the raw deal at every turn.
One year in Arizona.
Seven, eight games in Carolina.
And not one year again.
So if you add it all up together, I mean, come on, man.
Damn.
What do you got to do?
They playing games.
There's a whole other side of the tale I'm not even going to get in.
The run defense took a more severe tumble from 2 to 26.
Well, they decreased in points,
but it wasn't like they got the ball run down their throat.
It wasn't like Kansas City ran the ball.
Look, a lot of those runs was Patrick Mahomes scrambling.
Yeah, that fourth fourth down that was a
design run to put him on the edge look if that guy crashes we're gonna throw the ball to the
platycelts the rpo option yeah yes nice yeah that was a good play call it was a great play call
because you're not look maybe if that's lamar jackson maybe if that's uh justin fields i'm
planning for some type of run pass option.
And I ain't thinking, I'm thinking more
run than pass with those two guys.
I'm not thinking run, no run
option with Patrick Mahomes.
No, at all.
And then he came back like, what, one
or two plays later and hit right up the
seam, kind of like he did against
Philly the year before in the Super Bowl.
It took off. Right up there you got.
Man, that's just, man,
I feel bad for Wilks. Hopefully he gets
an opportunity. He should.
He should. He should. All the
coaching vacancies, maybe not head coaching,
but all the... All the
coordinator jobs are filled. All the
head coaching jobs are filled. Damn.
That's crazy when you think about it yes who's been feel who's come in
as a d coordinator now for the 49ers i guess they're gonna they're gonna promote from within
that's that's that's totally unfair because now someone takes over that defense that that is
already good it kind of reminds me of the mark jackson situation in a sense yeah because they're
already good obviously the coat the coaching also helped when you have when you have the personnel good it kind of reminds me of the mark jackson situation in a sense yeah because they're already
good obviously the coat the coaching also helped when you have when you have the personnel hell
it's gonna take care of itself when you had that kind of when you had those kind of players on
defense well it's gonna take you and i both disagree with the decision of the 49ers if their
decision um to do whatever they want but i'd be able to i stringently disagree with the decision of the 49ers is their decision um to do whatever they want but i'd be
able to i stringently disagree with that decision um i wish steve wilkes the best uh hell like i
said i've known kyle i played against john lynch i know lynch uh very very well hell i know mike
shannon has he still has uh he's still in the building but this is i do not agree with this
decision this was a bull job decision. I'll take that
and I stand on that.
I got my white Air Force
ones on. Desi said,
white Air Force one, that's
different than the black Air Force one.
I don't own no black Air Force one, but I'm
standing on it.
Hold on.
The Cowboys, Ocho, hired a new defensive coordinator.
They hired Mike Zimmer, and Zimmer came and said,
we're not trying to reinvent the wheel.
Over the last three seasons, the Cowboys defensive ranked seventh,
tied for fifth, and fifth in points allowed,
while totaling 93 takeaways.
So Zimmer thinks he's inherited a decent situation.
We're not trying to reinvent the wheel here.
I mean, they've been pretty good.
I've been in some of the situations where things
haven't happened, but that happens
in coaching. It happens a lot.
Oh, is that the same wheel
that gave up 48 points?
Is that that wheel? What kind of wheel is that?
Is that a big wheel or a tri-sickle
wheel? Yeah. Mike
is a great coach. Mike is a great coach.
Mike was a great coach.
Very, very good D coordinator.
I played for Mike Zimmer, obviously, in Cincinnati.
I don't remember exactly what year it was, but our defense was very good then during that time.
And I think Mike can make a difference to that defense.
When they had collapses, the way they collapsed against the Packers,
they collapsed against what? The uh collapses again they collapse against what the 49ers the 49ers the arizona cardinals and and all those teams obviously did one thing
they all ran the ball they all ran the ball and exposed them very very badly obviously the packers
did it through the through the air through the air and and the run and i'm sure mike can get in
there change a few things up they that to, I think they still need to get a little
beefy. I still think they need to get a little beefy
up front because obviously the key, what we've all saw people do, is
run straight downhill at them.
They're lighting the bridges, Ocho.
They're lighting the bridges. I like the hire. I like the britches, Ocho. Yeah. They like the britches.
So I like the hire.
I like the hire with Mike.
I love the hire.
I think it's great.
But let's not pretend that they'll say,
now, I just want to know, the wheel,
are these wheels going to have tired legs?
Because remember, you heard that when they said they had tired legs.
You heard that, Ocho.
You said, hey, we need another guy or two.
Are we them boys or do we need some more boys?
They got it.
They got it.
I'm a firm believer.
You see the difference between Kansas City and the Cowboys.
When Kansas City needed a field goal, they went and got the field goal to tie the game and send it to overtime.
When they needed a touchdown to go get to win the game, they went and got it.
When the Chiefs defense
needed to keep their ass out of the end zone
or keep them out of field goal range,
they did that. What do the Cowboys
do when they needed scores, when they needed points,
when they needed to get off the field?
So, I don't care. I see this
93 takeaway. Okay? But when
you needed a takeaway against Green Bay, what'd you get?
I know
Dak Drew for the most touchdowns in the NFL this year, but when you needed Green Bay, what'd you get? I know Dak grew for the most touchdowns in the NFL this year,
but when you needed to score, what did you get?
So don't tell me how good you were,
because if you can't do what you need to do when you got to do it,
it don't mean jack.
You know what they need to do?
You know what the Cowboys, not the Cowboys, you know what the Chiefs had?
What?
The Chiefs had an owner that wasn't in front of the camera all season goddamn long, too.
No, Clark Hunt is not in front of the owner.
He's like his dad.
None of the Hunts was in front of the camera.
No.
Guess what they was hosting in February?
The Lombardi.
All right, now.
It ain't rocket science.
Ocho, don't you know I got to get the credit?
Because if I hire somebody, if I hire Bill Belichick, if I have somebody, he go get the credit.
Jimmy Johnson, I promise you, I'm old enough.
I don't know how you probably 15.
But I remember nobody mentioned Jerry Jones name when Jimmy was there.
It was Jimmy talking about how about them cowboys?
And Jimmy was getting all the credit.
And Jerry seed.
He seed.
Because he desired that.
Attention to the drug.
Yeah.
And people crave it.
And a lot of times they'll say or do anything to get it.
This man fired a two-time back-to-back champ.
And I know what Jimmy said.
He was burnt out. But he he was burnt out but he was
so burnt out that he went got another job at miami a few years later that's how burnt out jimmy was
yeah i mean the the proof is in the pudding the proof is in the pudding everyone else that is
one lombardi their owners weren't front and center no they didn't make it they didn't make
they didn't make it a circus they They didn't make it about them.
They allowed the coaches,
the team,
and everyone else to do their job.
He learned from Al Davis.
That's how Al was.
And so Al was always front and center.
And so that's how he runs his team.
Yeah.
Al didn't give a damn what his players did as long as they showed up on Sunday.
He meant that.
He said in the first series or two, the quarterback must go down,
and he must go down hard.
So if you look at, like, I know you don't remember,
the old Miller Lite commercials.
Look at all the Raiders players that they had in there.
Because that's what they did.
I told y'all, man, I saw Greg Townsend in 90 sitting outside on his helmet
smoking a cigarette.
Al didn't give a damn.
As long as you played.
That's how Jerry is.
Jerry's always, you know, front and center.
Al did a lot of that, too.
And that's what Jerry learned.
Jerry learned his mannerism and how he is as an owner from the late great Al Davis. Rest his soul.
Maybe, hey, listen, maybe that's why things aren't, I hate to say it. There's one common
denominator. There's one common denominator that's in place. That's always been there that
refuses to change. Yeah. Made for this mountain is a podcast that exists to empower listeners to

In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency.
Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir?
No.
It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.
And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second. I'm going to ask Attorney General.
I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn.
In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran Contra,
you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal
that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago,
but which few of us still remember today.
The things that happened were so bizarre and insane,
I can't begin to tell you.
Please do.

Cliff Kingsbury dodges questions about caleb williams the commander who draft second need a quarterback and the camp commander's offensive coordinator cliff kingsbury coached williams
at usc last season he said today he's a great kid there There's no doubt. Just getting to watch Lincoln from afar and observe him and how he coaches and how he schemes things up.
His process was huge.
And it just being around the younger players.
Kingsbury was asked what he looks for in a quarterback.
And he jokes, the Chiefs quarterback.
Kingsbury was the offensive coordinator, head coach at Texas Tech.
Tech, yeah.
So.
Why, I'm just curious.
Why would you dodge those questions
when you know you're probably going to find a way to get them?
Yeah, you have to trade up.
But you don't want to,
here's the thing, Ocho.
I don't want to show you my hand
because then I'll let somebody build a hand
that's better than mine.
But listen, you already know you're going to get it.
Okay, okay.
You already know you need a quarterback.
Oh, you want him.
You already know Sam Howard's not your answer.
Guess what?
I'm number three.
I want him too.
I'll bid you.
Thanks for opening your mouth.
You show me your hand.
Oh, I'll make you do a Ricky Williams.
I'll make you give up your entire draft and first picks next
year and the year after.
We talk about a generational talent.
We talk about a quarterback coming in that has the ability
to change your franchise.
They don't pick first.
They pick second. So that means
somebody can bid out, bid them
to move up to one, right?
What did
Brother Caleb Williams say about going to Chicago?
It doesn't matter what he says.
It doesn't matter.
You don't think so?
I'm saying someone can offer more assets than Washington to move up to one.
Right.
That's what I'm saying.
So that's why you keep it hush.
Hey, we play in poker.
And you're like, ooh, boy, I'm sitting on something over here. Ooh, you keep talking.ush hey you we playing poker and you like well i'm sitting on something over here
you keep talking yeah i i just don't really see playing poker and not answering the questions
knowing when it's common sense and you're understanding what you need the world because
goddamn stevie wanted to see what you need yeah and getting and getting him he's very very i'm
not calling him patrick mahomes in the chat i'm not calling him Patrick Mahomes in the chat.
I'm not saying he's Patrick Mahomes, but if you watch Caleb Williams play, he's very Patrick Mahomes-ish.
Yeah.
The way he throws, his mannerisms, the way he runs, the way he processes things, the arm angles, the mechanics, everything is there.
The play-make ability through the air and with his legs.
He runs when he needs to.
He extends plays when he needs to.
He does things not every other quarterback can do.
I hear a lot of people say Drake made this, Drake made that.
Let's stop.
Let's pause a little bit.
Let's go back and watch some film and understand how good Caleb Williams is.
I know USC didn't play that well this year.
They weren't good as a whole.
He is a game-changing generational talent at the quarterback position.
They're going to get him.
I'm not sure why Cliff is scared.
I should have been in Cliff's shoes.
You asked me the goddamn question about goddamn Caleb Williams.
You goddamn right we want him.
You goddamn right we're going to get him.
We're going to do everything we can to make sure we secure him and get that young.
You're not the only one that needs a quarterback.
The last thing you want to do is to let why you think people don't tell you who they potentially like or what they don't.
They like we like them all because I don't want you to zoom up the board and take it.
Oh, thanks for telling. Oh, that's what you're going to do. take it. Oh, thanks for telling me.
Oh, that's what you're going to do, Ocho? Thank you
for telling me. Hey, Washington. Hey,
Bears. What up, Washington?
We'll give you four first-round
picks.
You see?
I know you in the running.
Everybody know
Washington, but guess what?
For that pick, if he's what you said he is
you can't give up enough
what would a team
right now give up to get Patrick Mahomes
what would a team
right now give up to get one of these
top five quarterbacks
because you're not
the only one
you're not the only one that need a drink of water
there are a lot of people on the island
that don't have fresh drinking water
they all thirsty
exactly
but look
I'm just trying to figure out how
Cliff Kingsbury keep failing up
he had Patrick Mahomes, got fired,
couldn't do nothing. He done been a lot
of places, get fired, don't do nothing,
but he keep getting, and
he was the man got fired from a job
and got a, what college coach
gets fired from college
and then gets a head coach's job in the damn
NFL? Well, that's why you learn,
you learn early in life.
One of the most important things that you can
have is relationships.
Yes. Never burn
your bridges. And Kyle
Cliff
Cliff Kingsbury is
an example of that. Never burn
bridges. Always keep
and build relationships with people because you never
know when you're going to need them again.
And he has been a great example of having relationships with the right people when you're going to need him again. And he has been a great example
of having relationships
with the right people
because you're going to always have a job.
DraftKings Sportsbook has
DraftKings Sportsbook
has Caleb Wade
as the overwhelming favorite
to go number one.
He's minus 900.
So the commanders are going to need
to make a move.
Guess what, Ocho?
I know you want it. Now I'm going to drag the price up. You know what I'm going to need to make a move guess what Ocho I know you want it now I'm
gonna drag the price up you know what I'm gonna do Ocho I'm gonna do like they did during COVID
what was prices sky high higher than giraffe hoo-ha and you know a giraffe head is 18 foot high so
you know the hoo-ha way up there too so that's what I'm gonna do for you thank you Ocho for
telling me that's what you want oh you want it I want you to say for you. Thank you, Ocho, for telling me that's what you want. Oh, you want it. I want you to say it.
I'm glad you did, Ocho.
Thank you for telling me you want it.
It's going to cost you five first-round picks now for running your mouth.
Hey.
It's already set in stone.
Yeah, yeah.
I told you.
Stevie Wonder can see it.
Ray Charles can see it.
Five first-round picks.
Two second-round picks.
Three third-round picks.
Keep talking. Whether you say it or not, you know where I'm three third round picks. Keep talking.
Whether you say it or not, you know where I'm going.
You know what we need.
We need somebody to throw the ball to Jahan Dotson, Brother Samuels.
We need somebody to throw the ball to Terry McLaurin,
who is the best quarterback in the draft.
I can tell you right now that I know what the Bears going to do.
The Bears, I don't know, it might happen before draft day,
but brother Justin Fields is going to Atlanta.
Brother Justin Fields is going to Atlanta,
and they're going to give up whatever they need to.
Well, if the Bears trade Justin Fields,
they're going to sit on Caleb Williams.
Why would I trade Justin Fields and then trade Caleb Williams
and let Washington or some other team get it?
They have quarterbacks.
Quarterbacks will be going from the Falcons to the Bears.
Man, I don't want...
You think...
Hold on.
Do you actually think I want Ritter?
You think I want Heineken?
Really?
Yeah.
I'd rather take a six-pack for Heineken.
And you tell me good Ritters before I want either one of them guys.
Listen, I'm just telling you how the play is going to go.
And I ain't been wrong.
I ain't been wrong all season.
I haven't been wrong all season about the games that I've guessed.
I'm not a gambler.
I've been right.
I was right about the Super Bowl game.
I told you what was going to happen, and now I'm telling you what's going to happen in the draft.
It's going to go exactly like that.
I guarantee you.
I'm not saying I got the script. I'm not saying I got the script.
I'm not saying I got the script.
I'm just telling you what's going to happen.
That's how it's going to play out.
You think the Bears want Ritter or Heineke?
They got to do something.
Yes.
Okay, what if I trade Justin Fields to Atlanta
and then I keep caleb williams
oh that's nasty work right there on that's nasty work as much as you say i already know what's
gonna happen as much as you as much as you said you're making sense you're making chicago chicago
will be out of their damn mind to trade that number one pick and trade Justin Fields.
And I believe you out of your mind if you believe that's what's going to happen.
Hey, listen, draft day, you never know. I'm not saying I'm not Mel Kiper.
Oh, Joe, you actually think they're going to trade? Okay. Justin Fields, who's a first round
pick. We're going to trade him to Atlanta. We're also going to trade the right to the first round pick to Washington or
whomever.
And in return,
we're going to take Heineke or Desmond Ritter.
Hey,
them some solid quarterbacks now.
If they so solid,
why won't let,
why doesn't Atlanta want him?
I don't know,
but I'm just telling you how it's going to play out. The NFL has always been, why doesn't Atlanta want him? I don't know.
But I'm just telling you how it's going to play out.
The NFL has always been crazy in the way it operates.
Before anything else play out, I don't want no more bets with you
until you Venmo me,
cash out me,
whatever they got you.
They got Venmo.
Wait, time out.

They never paid me in cash.
I wanted coins.
I didn't want your money.
I wanted your pride.
I want you to go to the bank

And when they,
because they're going to ask you,
the cashier is going to ask you,

I want to go somewhere close.
Well, you ain't got to gas up.
I don't want you gassing up.
I want you to be able to do a round trip on one tank.
Oh, no, they ain't doing that.
They're going to gas up, Joe. They're going to gas up on you.
They're going to gas up.
Shit.
They don't be gassing up
just to be gassing up on my dime.
Oh, you wanted to gas up
last day.
You wanted to do it
and run out of fuel.
We have three quarter of a tank
of fuel over that ocean.
Oh, we good. We good. Oh, we good. We good.
Oh, we good.
We good.

The Made for This Mountain podcast
exists to empower listeners
to rise above their inner struggles
and face the mountain in front of them.
So during Mental Health Awareness Month,
tune into the podcast, focus on your emotional well-being, and then climb that mountain.
You will never be able to change or grow through the thing that you refuse to identify,
the thing that you refuse to say, hey, this is my mountain. This is the struggle.
Listen to Made for This Mountain on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. There are so many stories out there.
And if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content,
the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive

affair. The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you. Please do.
