You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is the Dunluba Tarshall with the StugatSpotcast. Alright, so did the O-line concerns make you worried? Well, you're not worried because you already believe that your jets are going to fall on their face because they always do. I'm not worried because I promised myself I would not do what I normally do

before every jet season, which is doom and gloom. Like, I'm just not gonna do it. We have a quarterback, it's funny. I know a lot of people don't like Aaron Rogers, but man, if you love an NFL team, you wish you had Aaron Rogers. If you watched the first two episodes, you wish your quarterback was Aaron Rogers.

Unless you have one of the elites, you do. I don't care. What's that face? Jess told me during the break, I wouldn't want Aaron Rogers. I'm like, okay, I'm gladly taken. Hold on, maybe you're kidding. Okay, maybe you don't. I like any picket.

You're just some fields there. You love my Justin Fields and also make any pick. I can't even play better and it helps to have George Pickens, but that aside, we're not talking about the Aaron Rodgers that you know. We're talking about the Aaron Rodgers that you see on hard knocks. So from the little bit of hard knocks and hard knocks that is out there, how could you not want him as your quarterback? Because I'm a fan of my bears and Aaron Rogers has terrorized them for the best

way. That's what you were listening. I said pretend we don't know anything about it. It's like, all you know is what you see. This guy that says, I love you to all his teammates all the time. Got it. Once the like, just chummy with all the reps and coaches. Right with the coaches.

I know it's not real, but you don't feel like it's real. You feel like he's playing to the cameras? It's a show. I feel like he'll turn Zach Wilson around a corner and be like the weekend. What? What? What?

Not that scene, the other scene. There's a lot of scenes there. Wait, you need to definitely clarify. Yeah, not that scene, not the other scene, but the closing scene. Close the third scene. It's a scene. Gotcha. Kill you. Kill, shit. God, shit.

Kill you. Kill you. I mean, your quarterback was Ben Rothlischberger. Yeah. He had a hat, though, and I said, cherish the little things. How can you not love that? It's such a, I mean, I feel like that's got to be on a pillow.

And a lot of Creighton barrels, I don't know, Creighton barrels, so pillows, sounds about right. I think they do. Yeah. Yeah. yeah, yeah, yeah. Billy would know. I'm over like a CB one guy, you know, isn't that their discount store? I was, I was traveling.

CB two? That's the one. I was, CB one is just Crating barrels. I was traveling when, I write up your alley. This story came out, I wish. And I was hoping against hope

that I would see a clip on it because I did you see the story from Kyle Shanahan who he said his emergency quarterback was gonna be had the Niners beating the Eagles in the NFC Championship game who would have started in that Super Bowl. So you got to see what I love this. Philip Rivers.

Philip Rivers. Yeah. Philip Rivers. Philip Rivers. He's just waiting. So great. Philip Rivers still popping out kids. I love that. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it.

I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it.

I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it.

I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. of the players, the money that they have outlaid right now. This is kind of the last year they can make a run before they have to rebuild around Josh Allen once again. So last year with Sepon Diggs, right? Yeah, probably last year with Sepon Diggs because of their... There's a lot going on there. Yeah, that no one has reported officially, so we will not report officially. But also just the age of their defense and a lot of players that they have on a team that they're relying on, the offensive line that keep investing in these old guys, which are older guys, which

I respect where it's like, all right, we're not going to let any of the good players leave. Are you follow football? What's Von Miller status? I don't know, he's got a podcast, I think. Yeah, coming back from ACL seems like it's, yeah, it's come back from ACL. Seems like something that you cannot rely on, especially when you get to a certain age. So I wouldn't count on Vaughn Miller being all that productive until the end of season, which is when they need him, when they need him,

last year they didn't have him because he was a difference maker. But bringing in guys like that and continue to sign people like that, I know he played hurt. And it's probably like a first take topic, but let's do it. I do it. Dude, I saw the most ridiculous topic I'd ever seen. I think I saw it was it earlier today?

Dude, is it the Kelsey one? No, I saw George Pickens one that was crazy. Hold on one second, what was the Kelsey one? We'll get the pickings in a second. What was the, what was, or worst take, whichever game you prefer? So I could take, I like that. So we'd all agree, thousand year in season, you can make an argument greatest side end of all time. They're super bowl reigning Super Bowl champs

The question was is Kansas City's offense to reliant on Travis Kelsey? Why is it a good quite like it seemed to work? It's it worked I got a formula be super reliant on Travis Kelsey. They didn't even need to be reliant on Tyree Kill. We've seen it both ways. They just need it. Kelsey. They're just asking.

Yeah, just putting it out there. Someone obviously believes that they are too reliant on Travis Kelsey. And I would argue in most cases, yes, you're too reliant if your best player offensive weapon is a tight end. That's not good. Travis Kelsey is not a tight end. He's a wide receiver Travis Kelsey not a tight end. He's a wide receiver. He's a big ass past catcher, which is not nearly as problematic as having your offense based around Mark Andrews, which congratulations, Baltimore Ravens, getting some receivers and trying to move into the modern era of football.

You think Mark Andrews is happy with that? No. Mark Andrews was eaten. Out there. Mark Andrews is now running flat routes to open up deep corners for safe flowers. I'll say how that works out. Yeah. Let's see. What was the pickings top? The game's break down. What's the pickings top? Pickings topic. Can George Pickens be an all-time wide receiver? Can George Pickens be an all-time wide receiver? Oh, yeah, 1,000 yards first. He's played one more turn. Okay. All-time wide receiver?

The picket to Pickens connection really became apparent in the second half of last season. If you weren't watching, you weren't paying attention. If you weren't watching, obviously if you weren't watching the more apparent. George Pickens is the type of receiver that he's one of those guys you like to have on your team That you would hate to play against because I see George Pickens out there And I'm like, man, it's incredible catch. What a physical play. I would who's a ball winner I would hate that guy if I played against him because he's out here looking to embarrass people He's a white receiver with like a middle line backers mentality, which is gross.

The gross stuff is for them in there. We're out here, we're classy out here. Did you ever cover Inquan Bolton? Oh yeah. And was that fun for you? So Inquan Bolton and I have a long history that he's not aware of. I played Inquan Bolton my sophomore year. That's right, ACC. Yeah, I think it was my, Antquan Bolden my sophomore year.

That's right, ACC. Yeah, I think it was my junior year. I think I was coming off like a good season. All American, all ACC, I'm feeling good about myself, either sophomore, junior season, and Antquan Bolden comes to town. Not fast, not quick, not traditional receiver stuff for me to be concerned about.

So I was like, all right, we good. Not to worry about. And Juan Bolton also plays receiver, like he's a middle damline backer. So, and Juan Bolton bullied me for the entire game and caught touchdowns, did whatever he wanted, then went on to go to the NFL. I harbored a grudge for years and years. I got drafted by the Broncos and then we went to Arizona, I think where Antquan Bolton was playing. And so, that's all right. It's going to happen right now. I tried to fight Antquan Bolton for the crazy

entire first quarter. I was twice your size. I was talking all types of shit in his face, pushing him after the whistle, doing everything because I'm harboring his grudge. Like, you bullied me when I was a tiny sophomore. Now, I'm a, I'm a tiny professional. Yeah, now I'm a tiny rookie, and we gonna fight out here.

So this goes on for about the entire first quarter and somewhere midway through the second quarter. He's like, what are you doing? Like, be a professional. Essentially, it's what he said to me and it just took all of the second corner, he's like, what are you doing? Like, be a professional. Essentially, is what he said to me, and it just took all of the wind on him. I was like, yeah, he's right. We're out here working.

Why am I at work trying to fight other employees? So, yes, the George Pickens. Is that the best ball winner you ever went up against? Steve Smith's pretty good also. Great ball winner. There's a guy I've, name always the same time. He doesn't have the frame for it. Like that's just small.

Yeah, that's just tenacity. I mean, it's like a lot like Tyrick Hill. He's an incredible ball winner. He doesn't get credit for it because he's so good at everything else. But I'm gonna be tall to be an incredible ball winner. I feel like you do. No, I think I think Heinz Ward, I think Heinz Ward ball winner.

Yeah. Randy Moss decent ball winner. Not bad. Going up and getting a. Decent ball winner, not bad. And going up and get a quarter. I can tell another ACC story. We were again, I'm feeling good about myself, thinking I'm good, all conference, whatever. And then we are going up against Georgia Tech's coming to town

and they have a freshman wide receiver that I'm like, all right, it's a fresh receiver. It seems like we have a pattern here. I like to underestimate people that are getting lots of hype. Oh, you got a fresh, Reggie Balls throwing you the ball. All right, we good. Then he walks out on the field and I line up across from... I gotta see a still of that.

I line up across from Megatron. I gotta see the side by side. They run early in that game, they run like a dig, and I got to see the side by side. They run, they run early in that game. They run like a dig and I got it covered just fine. Reggie ball throws the ball generally in his direction because Reggie ball was kind of like a fullback who was playing quarterback. He throws the ball generally in his direction.

Megatron jumps 12 feet into the air. Calvin Johnson catches the ball and I tackle him so that he lands on my chest. His whole body weight. I was like, wave it at the side. Somebody like, it's up to me. Because that man was a monster. But then we played him and then I fell a few times and he was always on bad teams.

So I had no issue with him in the league, which is nice. This is photo on Getty. But if he were on Good Teams, no, I got lucky with, so like, almost all my games against Randy Moss, he was on the Raiders. If you Google Image, so you get the bad Raiders. You do have a pass break up, that's photographed here.

Let's go. All right. Let's go. I never said I was bad. It's you and what is it? Zibakowski? The name boxer guy. Oh yeah. Oh, another you and what is it? Zibakowski? The name boxer guys. Oh, yeah.

Oh, another great performer. I played with Zibi. I played with Zibi and Baltimore. But yeah, I got lucky because Randy Moss was in, I did play once against Randy when he was with the Patriots. Not fun. I broke up a pass that got tipped at Interceptive. That was good.

But I fortunately played against Megatron when he was in Detroit a lot, which, eh. We had one person to worry about. You know where the safety is rolling? My way, I will fight you in the locker room. Yeah, I will fight you. And you're not only getting safety help, yeah. Bring your ass on over here.

If the best safety ever. Come on, roll. What does it think about? Let's think about? Let's think about it. Ed made Tom Zibbikowski a pro for a long time. Ed did, when I first got to Baltimore, my first few games I struggled in part because I didn't understand the defense to the defense.

I'm not pronouncing it right, right? It's Zibbikowski. Zibbikowski. No, it is a Zibbikowski. Yeah, we always call them Zibbikowski. Yeah, I know. We always call them Ziba Kowski Ziba Kowski, but I don't know

Just don't call him labor supper. We just call them ZB It's easier Is it Samarja or is it smarja smarja smarja smarja? Jeff's a margin. Yeah, I'm just kidding. I'm gonna say quick Of course she does she is gold nails Thanks for noticing. Yeah, they're nice. They're real eye catchers. I appreciate it. I don't like Notre Dame though, but I like your nails. That's fine. You don't have to. I mean nobody does. Does anybody Notre Dame

falls into category? How did it get grandfathered into that category with like great teams, even though they aren't. Love and Apple Championships. As you know, those national championships were the last count because Shelby checker was running the ball. The Catholic Church rewriting a flattering history of itself nailed it. Doesn't work. Don Lebertard.

Well, my point about Jimbo Fisher is that, and it's Sabin, he's been trying to cancel me for saying that Mrs. Met has cake, and Bobby Bowden would have said, Mrs. Met, she has snatched. Stugats. Damn, I never pay for a player. Now, I would pay for Mrs. Met to give me a lap dance. This is the Don Lebertar Show with the Stugats.

I have a question for you guys. Does anyone else regularly get in their male flyers saying that there's just acreages of land for sale in the Carolinas, Tennessee, Georgia area? Because I get it all the time. I see it on TV, I never get it in the man. I'm always being alerted to these land auctions. Never. Yeah, in the Carolinas.

Feel like that's a super Cuban thing. Is it in the Carolinas and is it La Montanya? I'm trying to remember, because I got one yesterday. And the last time that I got one, I shared this story and Tony got really excited and wanted to go into business and buy it. And I was like, but there's probably no running water. We'll figure that out.

I like to read about that. Don't worry about that. Don't worry about that. Or roads or anything. The Pioneers did it 200 years ago. We could do it today. Don't worry about it. They didn't do it 200 Yeah, that's exactly what they did. They died because they kept going a ponds They all had to some territory. Yeah, I did it. Have you ever played a work in trail? No, actually, I they'd never figured it out It's only till later Oh, but I really please, Philly, please continue. Well, no, so then there's a couple,

there's a couple different options. There's a two-way. If it were for the pioneers in the West, none of that would be inhabited. So they made it happen. There were people there before that, that America, it was literally inhabited. Yeah, that's what we took it.

We are, we are, we are the situation. No, but the pioneers, that's what it is. Right at the end. It hits you, not me. I love that we are in Florida. We Americans and Tony is like now We go stick with that old history. I like that old history. They taught I'm not letting it go maybe all right Billy let's get back to this Some of their some of them benefit in front

Tony's getting mad. I'm cool. I'm going into business with Billy. I'm not, but that's the thing. Billy's not going into business with you. Yeah, I'm not asking to go into business with you. Because the, I tell him I'm like, you know, there's a two acre option where you split a dock. And then there's one acre where you have your own dock. And then we got docs.

That's exactly what he said. His eyes perked up. He goes, is waterfront? Oh, I like a little dock off. We got a dock off. It's second. So what here's the thing, right? Airbnb businesses a little bit on the downslope right now. This is different than how this went this morning.

We said Airbnb great business. It's like no, it's booming. It's booming. That was on the downslope. Which is it Tony? It's a booming downslope. Business is booming. You want your upslope,

but it's downslope. Here's the thing. Buy it. There's 11,000 Airbnb's in Brickle. Yeah, of course, it's going to be bad. But what we don't have is something out in the mountains, somewhere out by some water where people just want to go disconnect turn off their phone, relax, have a nice enjoyable time with their family. And that's what I'm saying. We could provide people a

nice lakefront with a dock. You put a jet ski out there, you put a fish in, but you put a pontoon boat. put a pontoon boat everybody has fun I don't think you understand the geography of North Carolina there is a lot of nothing and that is what they're giving you did you hear when he said dockfront that means there's water there's a lake in my hometown that thing is nasty there's no dog we're not going to your hometown respectfully you might actually be you don't know where we're going yeah we're not going to your hometown respectfully. You might actually be. You don't know where we're going. Yeah, we're not going there respectfully Where we're going there are no roads exactly. Literally there are no roads We have to pay there, but there's a duck someone went and put a dock in with no roads

Also, are you landsplaining me? Absolutely. I don't think you get it Don't let geography get in the way of your opportunity, Tony. Exactly. Dominique, what we need is a sound savvy. Who's we? Me and Billy. Oh, now you're in Kahoot.

So, my life is filled with people bringing me into their businesses. I know, as you have experience, perfect. So what I'm trying to do is get a sound savvy businessman who understands the game on our side, right? And I'm looking at him right now. Oh. You, Dominic. I like it.

You're close enough to the area. You can go out, scout the town. Scout it. We need a property manager. He has you right down the streets. I mean, he's close to the Baltimore. He's closer than I am. He's seen even closer.

I'm skipping a jump. Yeah, just have skipping a jump. I know what I was thinking. To lead Caroline's. We may not need wrote. If it's waterfront and there's a dock, maybe we got skipping a jump. I know what I was thinking to leave Caroline's we may not need wrote if it's water Friend and there's a doc. We maybe we got a C plane. You know On to the lake. Yeah, I like that. I am is there a doc or is there just room for a doc? I think it's a doc up I don't know yeah doc up

Build that though docs are easy. Oh can we I wanna know. It's already costing you more money. How many? That's two. Like, Tony reminds me of a lot of people that I know. And I love these people in my life. But they also have fallen for a number of schemes. Tony. Opportunities.

You got some get rich quick in your blood. I didn't even tell. I didn't even tell him how much it costs. Cause what I tell him that he doesn't matter. The cost does it matter. What's the cost? Thought it didn't matter. I'm for everybody else.

Oh, it doesn't matter to me. Sorry. The one acre or the two acre. Two acre half dock. No, two acres full dock. Oh, full dock. Your own dock. Okay.

Two acre. Yeah, get this. 19,999. I'll pay a cash right now. Your own dog. Okay. Two acre. Yeah. Get this. 19,999. I'll pay a cash right now. I'll pay a cash. Dominique. That is one of the most alarming signs. Dominique, if you are selling two acres waterfront property for $19,000 out there.

Give me five in a row. You'll be in prison in like three years. Bill Town. I really want to know. So tell me. He'll be in a row. You'll be in prison in like three years. Bill Town. I really want to know. No, he'll be in a swamp. Lost. Maybe. Maybe the 19 grand out of your life, while it.

Tony. All right, I need you to be honest with me real quick. Tony, okay, I'm going to ask you a question. Sure. And I know that the answer to this is not zero, so don't say zero, tell me the truth, okay? How many times have you tried a scheme like this in your life?

One, two, three, like a property scheme? Okay, forget property scheme. Any get rich scheme. A scheme of any kind. Mendium call it property scheme. Okay, forget property scheme. Any get rich scheme. A scheme of any kind. Mending a call in a scheme. Like, have you ever sold something for someone else? That is incriminating.

I will not say yes or no. That's just incredibly incriminating. I have. You don't have to answer that. Yeah, please the fifth on that one. How about my apologies? I was going more to the pyramid scheme. Like you strike me as a guy.

And a limb guy is definitely falling for MLM to in. No, not my thing. MLM's on my thing. So I gotta call all your friends to meet you for a meeting at a ballroom. You're a ballroom guy. He's an opportunity guy, you know what I mean? He likes a good opportunity coming his way. Okay, so tell me about the success of opportunities.

You've been alive for a long time So you've come across a lot of opportunities. I mean he can buy five plots right now. He's cashed all the cash I just want I just want to opportunity to work That's what I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm putting you on a spot There's a couple businesses here and there that are booming. Yeah, I like to tell you. Yeah, I can't get into this business Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm some city of those businesses, but I'm telling you hang out their boom and so much your here city of those businesses, but I'm telling you, you really hang out. They're booming so much, you're a hearer.

That's booming. Oh. Yeah, but Stu, me and Billy Boy said, if I win the Powerball, I'll just come straight back to work. Yeah, you got it. And I'll be living here and just working. I have not. You do my thing.

No, I said that to you. Billy would be gone to second. No, I said it to him that I would come back to work. But the point is, can I ask a question real quick? Yes. What is the opportunity? Like, you want to buy land in middle of nowhere

and it sounds to be like the resell it? You want to. No, no, no nowhere and it sounds like- And then you like to resell it. No, no, no, no. Okay, so he picks it up and resell. He's told us he has a family history of this where of someone and his wife's family went and bought it. Oh, family history of falling for schemes. No, they bought a bunch of land

and they established like a town, but this was not in the year 2023. No. So he thinks that the land available to him is still that same opportunity. There's land everywhere guys. Look around. All the good land. Take him. No. I feel like not true. I feel like there's land. Towns are contracting. We're building up. We're not probably a reason for that. Right? Okay. So not there though.

No, I think in Saudi Arabia, they're actually building down. There's like this trench city Let me find out detail, but Tony is right. There is land everywhere. It's just not 19,000 dollars Tony We're being unfair. So what's the business? Stu if I told you there was a plot of land for 19,000 dollars you'd also pay for us You guys is family famously missed out on the opportunity to buy air so yeah air Mm-hmm. You could have had the hacky side. Yeah So what if I told you that there was a doc front acreage that I could sell you for 27? I'd say no.

You have to think about it though. So that's the plan. The plan is to buy it and send flyers to everyone's house. Somebody's already doing it. Somebody's already doing it. Somebody's already doing it. They're selling it for 99. They probably bought it for five. But to make the 26, you're gonna spend more than the six,

probably on flyers selling the Mug and a half for flyers. And don't forget the plumbing and the electrical. You think the original deal was five grand in now. The next person is up to 99. Maybe. And then that guy gets and flips it for 38. So you're not even trying to develop this land. You're just gonna be flipping all of the property.

No, honestly, if I were to pay for it, I'd get like a nice little cottage. I put it out there by the by the water, set it up, get a nice pool, maybe a nice gazebo setup, and then start air being being it. A lot of these also say things like site unseen. Which is kind of like, there's a lot of fire there's dead fire nothing wrong with that

Yeah, it's like buying a storage unit site unseen. I get everything that's in there It might be a rookie of you know Mickey Mantle card. So it might be a bunch of bullshit. I don't know Saudi Arabia has begun construction on a 500 meter tall mirrored linear city Yeah, what happened to a con city And a cons making a city. Yeah, like there are like tech city. It was like a whole five percent owner of it Five you have a coin you have a coin me and I come so when I asked that you fall in for any schemes That one's on a scheme though. Say con city. That sounds good So okay, are you intrigued Are you interested at least?

Yes, Tony, I'm interested. Like, we can, Can I tell you this, the thing like, of all the things that I learned in two years of business school, the biggest lesson was, if you are not in this industry, you don't know anything about this industry.

And that was the biggest lesson that I learned is that you need to accept that and the example that we used often was think of whatever industry you came from. And then imagine dropping somebody who has no experience in there and think about how many mistakes they would make. They would make.

You and most of us do the same thing when we look at other industries or other opportunities we're like, I could do that. Hey, I got it out of control. Just a little bit we look at other industries or other opportunities where like, hey, I got it out of control. Just a little bit is that, that. And so my point is, I've never been a real estate developer. I've also, yeah, stayed away from the swamps of the South. It doesn't feel like a place that I need to be.

The garland is. Yeah. Sounds like an opportunity to reshape the South. I'm good. I'm not in a reshape or business. So I guess that would be my advice is, you need to learn more about this. If you've never developed property before,

probably don't want to buy two acres in a state that you don't know anything about. Sounds like he's giving you a unique opportunity to make the South rising again. Well here's the thing, Dominique, I understand your business school. School of Hard Knocks told me. You don't need business school to know

you shouldn't buy two acres for $19,000. Sure nine of the sure again that's a good price for it to wait. That's what I'm paying for. It's too good. It's too good is the point. Well, hmm probably can't build on it. It's probably like swamped. No, there's a dock. You know, it's a dock. You can build on it. That's the whole point. Doc optional. Doc's depending on which one you buy. Again, since I'm not a professional and real estate development, my guess is the which you would need to build a doc It's not the same you think you would need to build a gazebo and it's wood. No, it's the same thing You build it with not the same like the wood guy We got a wood guy lumber guy. There's trees all over the place. We can make it happen. Yes, your own wood

Wow, and it's in the forest you You don't even have to buy wood. It's there. You don't need to lumberjack. Locally sourced. Just something to wood guys union. I don't know. Don Lebatard. I just heard a song that had Frank Sinatra singing from the window to the wall to the

switch up off my balls. Two guts. We all heard that right? So what I'm saying here. So what I'm saying here. All these females crossing and all skits, good god damn. Oh blue eyes. Congratulations on your shooting, I'm very sure. This is the Dan Lebertar Show with this two cats.

So we've been passing around this video around here the last couple of days of Fabinho, a Brazilian soccer star who's now playing. Here's the video if you're on YouTube, you can see it, he's now playing in Saudi Arabia and things are a little different over there. Apparently, it might correct me if I'm wrong. This is a journalist or a fan or something. There's conflicting reports. But it is not a representative of Valet, Tihad, the club that Fabinho now plays for, plays alongside Conte, their Karim Benzema,

the reigning Balloon Dore winner. I'm sorry, I mispronounced that. Balloon Dore. Balloon Dore. Yeah. I always want to make it a balloon. Five dollars. So, I mean, for those who are not uh... uh... ball and or that was one of the people who five dollars uh... so i mean for those who are not watching they didn't see what happened but he just got received a watch uh... very expensive roll x watch uh... just handed to him by either a fan or a journalist or whatever so i'm saying it's a seven hundred thousand pound

that's it that's a currency uh... that's a currency. Yes. That's a currency. Rolex. Well, we bring in a resident watch guy, Rissware Expert Tony. It feels like a Rolex, it's a sporty Rolex with a rubber strap. But I like this billy, what are you trying to say?

Like I like watches. What's the problem? Learn, read a book, do something. Read it. Instead of complaining about everybody being everything. You read the book of watch or anything? Tony and I educate him. Anyways, it was a sporty, I'm looking at the video here

It's a sporty Rolex with a rubber strap That the journalist doesn't like put together And then it just falls off his wrist I can't get the exact model But it could be like a James Cameron with a rubber strap Not 100% sure on that. Fabinho looks pretty stunned by this. Yeah, and he looks pretty happy for a man

who's made millions of dollars playing football. If he was getting handed a cheap ass time X, I'm not sure he'd be as excited, but I think this goes in line with all the money that Saudi Arabia and Qatar and all the kind of Middle East countries that's throwing out around sports. It's kind of shocking to all of us over here.

We're seeing it happen. It's funny, it's uncomfortable, it's weird. But I think right now, Fabinho is pretty happy. He just got $750,000 just handed to him out of nowhere. And he can join a bunch of these other players who are getting pretty, they're like getting rich as the wrong way. There's another word for what's whole this to the total that's been out there. These are all

aggregate sites and no one actually knows. One thing is for certain that's a Rolex. And that's a lot better than getting handed like a corporate beer sponsored aluminum ball. But I think what he's happy about, it's just a general look he has on his face. It's he has that much money, right? It's not the Rolex. I don't know. I mean, I think he's laughing at the whole like thing. This is wild because he didn't know this man by all reports. And we keep saying journalists will like that seems like an oxymoron, but

journalists or fan or whatever. It's just a random dude, hen this man expenses that expensive ass watch for walking by. That seems and that's you will. Yeah, but it wasn't even like the man of the match was like an official team sponsor Rolex man of the match, you get X, like nah, he's like, hey, good work out there, bro. Let me see your wrist.

You're definitely not a journalist if you're giving someone a look. Yeah, I was gonna ask, how much a journalist making over there? Yeah, yeah. It's not that person. In Argentina, they used to give men of the match an actual Burger King ground Like the paper ones that the paper cardboard burger. I love those

Yeah, you keep your crag, I mean I want But not over there. I am not gonna be like the NBA players. There is actually a there's a social media account that I follow That's like worst man of the match prizes. Oh. And sometimes like people have been given a live chicken. It's great. Delicious. It's useful. I rather have a live chicken than Burger King crown, I think. I saw someone get debatable.

Someone was awarded a copy of Crash Bandicoot on Beat Unplaced Asian. A lot of Crash Bandicoot hasn't been. So many places to go. I love chickens. I love crash band to crude. I also was hoping that we would talk about all the money that is and not just money. I think the money is we're pass being shocked by the money that's being thrown at some of these soccer players to play over there.

But the I guess parks that it's like of the stories that you guys have been reading recently. Is anybody have one of the perks that jumped out to them as extra special? So a lot of people have actually been saying, wow, Namar has access to a private jet whenever he wants Namar. One of the most famous footballers on the planet. He actually had that perk over in PSG. So that's a big, that's meant with a big yawn. Yeah, so here's the reported list of all the benefits

Neymar will receive in playing for Al-Hawal in Saudi Arabia. These are Neymar's perks, just Neymar's. Yeah, okay. And this is in addition to his salary, which I think he got a. 300 million dollars. 300 million, yeah. Yeah, which on years, right?

Like a weekly wage, he's making six times as much as he used to at PSC and he was one of the world's richest footballers prior to. It gets a home with 25 bedrooms, a 40 by 10 meter swimming pool. The Carolina is honest. This is the over right now. Yeah. Five full time staffer is Helm, a Bentley Continental GT, an Aston Martin DBX,, Lamborghini Huracan, a 24-hour driver. I mean, I don't think you need a 24-hour driver in Saudi Arabia.

But if anybody can put that theory to the test, it's going to be a name-art. All bills for hotels, restaurants, and various services during his off days will be sent to the club headquarters and are to be paid. Wow. The private plan is disposal for all the travels. 500,000 euro for each social media posts that promote Saudi Arabia. Wow, that's the one. Oh my gosh. That's the one. That's the one.

All of this is in addition to his $20,000,000. What do you go look at a 20 tweets spree in a day. Like you're good. You're just an extra $10 million. They're capin' it. Yeah, like what if you do like, I don't think you're in a cap. A thread.

Are they forcing it? Zero. Zero cap, it's not your idea. Wait, but that's the one in what regard. Like you draw the line. You can't do that. No, I mean, it's just mind blowing to me that what doesn't need to do it. Whether you need to do it or not, it's just mind blowing to me that, well, it doesn't need to do it.

Whether you need to do it or not, it's just mind blowing to me that they would be like, hey, just say nice things about us on the internet. Well, I guess it makes sense. There's nothing more valuable to the Saudi regime at this point than some good press. I wonder how long players are gonna actually be in Saudi Arabia for, because they're getting paid beyond their wildest dreams in these

Short doses and I wonder if their footballers from smaller clubs If you look at a lot of the signings a lot of those players not unlike the rest of the leagues in the world But they come from humble beginnings and it seems as though people are making the conscious decision like I'm gonna go get paid a Bolot of money which a lot of people do I'm no shaman that I'm gonna set up my general Generational wealth and then maybe I'll be back in two years Maybe I won't and I'll do something that's a little bit more fun because Messy made the decision. I've got a lot of money, right?

And I want to have joy in my life and I already have the deal where if I post positive I'm sorry to be on social media media they'll give me money for it anyways so i'd rather have a certain quality of life and players like surgeal bousquets for inner my amy had saudi arabia as an option jordi alba had saudi arabia as an option but they were different stages in their career and they decided you know i just want to have a certain key right like like with some of the golfers who want to live like film michael sin what choice did he have? Who's offering Phil Mickelson $300 million at 51 years of age?

Especially when he's burning through a building. What choice did he have? No, but I'm saying it's different for him and for, for Phil Mickelson. Well, guys, he's gambled a lot away. He needed the money. He was here because he gambled a lot. No, but just your age is very crucial. It's not going up enough for Vela.

You know, it's easy to say now. When your Brooks Capka, you can criticize that. But if you're 51 and someone and you're way past your prime and someone says, hey, here's $300 million, Jess, I promise you, you think about it. You would. Yeah, but she has to think about it. As you said, that's like, that's a difference between like, I didn't want to say she do it. But, you know, I love left it to think about I would never say that

I don't know what I would do if I were presented with that That's not the point I'm making I'm pointing out the fact that you said you didn't have a choice If you want to make $300 million at the age of 51 that was your only choice, but you're right He's literally right Whoa, I said you're right. It's leave me alone. I mean, geez. I know you're mad about the meekle hard, but I'm sorry. I'm not I'm not going to make fun of you. Merkel to fight. It's just funny because you made it sound like, hey, have you guys heard of this player? We all know who he is. Well, I was trying to clarify if I was saying this, but real real foren, you would take the 300.

Real for Nen touched on this, and he actually brought in like, an actual reputation. Do you know who real for Nen is? I'm a Twitter rated artist. You probably don't. Real for Nen's, I mean, just a United legend. Grateful baller in his own right.

And he actually took a pretty interesting angle on it too. He's like, what makes it US so great? We're talking about human rights, the reputations, and all this. They have their own problems. And if you look at the quality of football, I'd certainly jump at the chance to go to Saudi Arabia. Now, I don't believe Rio Ferdinand has watched

a lot of the quality of football in MLS or Saudi Arabia. I'm doing my best to educate myself and watch the level of play. It's hard to get a gauge on it. For whatever reason, people have made this a budding rivalry. Why go to MLS Saudi Arabia as a much better league? I'm like, who is watch this league enough

to formulate an opinion? I want to know the expert. The question's not about the league capability. It's about like aligning yourself or assisting in what everyone has accepted as some level sports watch. And I think the only valid defense for these players is like I'm a football player,

I'm not here to like, to like have political battles, to fight political battles. Or it's also selfish of us too, because messy cod flag for this, Beckham cod flag, and a lot of people were projecting their American moralities when it comes to the Middle East and other countries when they come from different places with different histories.

I'm not making excuses for anybody, but I'm trying to talk this out. Why people look at things differently. Saudi Arabia executed 81 people over the weekend. It was a mass execution and there's been plenty of think pieces written on how unfair their justice system is. And I'm sure the real fernans of the world will turn around and say, well, the American justice system isn't so fair. Is it? So there's a lot of finger pointing when it comes to this.

And you can get picked off pretty quick If you want to get on your moral high horse, which is why Phil Michelson was left with no choice I mean it's a false equivalency and also and also deflection It also deflection like that's what anybody who's in this is doing and I think no Like what about Chicago in yeah,? And it's not the world football part is the part that makes it complicated. Cause I don't think anyone actually cares if they're playing at a sea level talent

or B level talent, they care about aligning themselves with a regime that is responsible for these bad things. And that's where it gets kind of complicated where it's like, all right right there's a guy who as you pointed out it's come from a favela has an opportunity to make a lot more money and of course he has an opportunity to make it elsewhere whether he wants to get involved in this or not is a choice and there's a price to pay for all the choices that you make and maybe the price is people are going to talk shit about you a little bit and they probably don't give a damn because clearly

that's not what's important to them. And these world footballers have a different experience as professionals, like they're gonna talk shit about me. I played for Liverpool. I dealt with the media there. Your tweets mean nothing to me. What? No choice. It's my choice to shit on Phil Nicholson. I love thee.

Love thee. choice to shoot on film. I love thee. Love thee.
