your listening to Giraffe King's network. Let's go out to our crew in LA. Levitard is out there with Mike, with a mean with Charlotte. They are getting us ready for the Chargers game. Big Monday night game. Levitard, set the scene for us. My crying has a giant CD-LAM parlay. He's got three other guys who scored a touchdown. He needs CD-LAM to score a touchdown tonight.

He's going out to see it personally, see if it pays nine to one. Yeah, with no way to hedge, because in my book, you can't bet against someone to score a touchdown. It's only a positive prop, but I've had Christian McCaffrey, Kenneth Walker, and Tyree Kill all score touchdowns. I need CD Lamb who struggled over the last few weeks to get in the end zone for a nice little $530 payoffs to God. Do you like my chances? I do like your chances. Yes. I had the jets in the parlay yesterday, Mike. The jets had to win the game outright. So you could imagine what was going on in my house, not only are the jets winning, but they're winning me money.

It was amazing. How did you feel to got about Aaron Rogers coming out and making sure everyone saw him throwing without crutches as if he would be throwing with crutches. I would prefer that. The J.J. Watt is strong in him, Dan. I mean, I got to be honest with you. Everyone here thinks it's fake. Um, in fact, I think, Josh, you were the one who brought it up to

my attention. I brought it up and then everyone jumped on my throat and then Hawks said it on the show and I was like, wait a second. That was my take. He had hearted shoulder. Like, am I supposed to be impressed? Like do some wind sprints, all right? Yeah. I dare people feel like he was doing it just to like, you know, hey, Aaron Rogers, I'm out here. But no one, like no one feels like he close to being able to play quarterback. There's not a single person on the planet that thinks Aaron Rogers is going to come back to the next, you know, four to six weeks. But that's not, that's not what it's about. It's just about 10 terrified Zach Wilson. Who has overcome some things

because I can't imagine the last two weeks. I felt better for a lot of people than they feel for him given he's getting trashed by Joe Named. He's getting Rodney Harrison is saying that he's garbage. Joe Lamed. I mean, it's just, it's just about getting to eight, you know, to get to four and four, five and five, get the season two Aaron Rodgers in a condition that it can still make the playoff. Aaron Rodgers just wants to be seen. Aaron Rodgers can't stand not being seen or being like the main character in this situation.

I, he, like, sure, he's throwing. I'm, I'm with Jess. See, I think you guys are missing the point here. You're not thinking about this for dimensionally. Look. You remember a year ago, I told you Aaron Rodgers the point here. You're not thinking about this for dimensionally. You remember years ago I told you Aaron Rodgers thrives on, it's not my fault. Everything, it's everybody else's fault,

and that's why I underachieving. If you give me all the things I need, then that's a problem. So now that he's ruptured as a kill, he's like, oh perfect, it's not my fault anymore. But by doing this, I can show a, well, even though it's not my fault, I'm still trying.

What are you guys doing? But B, and this is the most important part. He's waging a war against science ladies and gentlemen. So the doctor said, I can't watch this. Wow, go deep. That's all he's doing here. It's a anrologist script. Dan used to go.

The crew. Thank you, thank you. I mean, the crew here asked me a very interesting question. You will love this question, Dan. I don't think he's going to love this question. I think I like this question. He likes to dabble on the hypotheticals, okay? I did. Do you like chewing your orange juice? That's the question. pulp, little pulp, heavy pulp, what's your thoughts? No pulp. Yes. There's no pulp. That's my guess. Wow. Oh, no. I want my liquid to be all liquid. I don't think that that is unreasonable

Fiber love to chew the pulp It's so fun you have a little aren't you so it's like oh it's a little snack on the back. Is it fun? Is it no? I love the shock that came out of the shipping container that Dan doesn't like to eat something not what I'm drinking something I want I want to either drink it if I want to eat and drink something I will choose soup not orange juice or smoothie. All right, ask him the real question asked you all right. The real question is Zach Wilson leads a jets to the playoffs. Aaron Rogers is healthy to play. What's the playoffs roll around? He's starting. Do I want Aaron back or do I roll with Zach Wilson?

Are you joking? Yeah, I want Zach Wilson. Same. Are you? You're forgetting Dan, Dan, follow this hypothetical. He got them to the playoff. He got to the play. Yes. He didn't. The defense did. They're defensive. You have them like running like he's King of the world right now when he's scoring what 11 points a game. So that's guys. You would rather have Aaron Rogers fresh off his science Achilles, whatever bridge, stapled tendon situation in there as opposed to a young Zach Wilson. Who got them there?

Who can run? Still got there is no way you would agree or would you not agree? Charlotte agrees that that's it looks like that Zach Wilson would win the Super Bowl. You would agree with that, correct? You've got a championship ready defense. You don't believe in any scenario that Zach Wilson can win a Super Bowl. I take Trump. I mean, Delphur did. I mean, yeah, but Delphur was better than Zach Wilson. Well, you're saying you, right? Your expectations are so low for Zach Wilson that, yeah,

the last few weeks, especially that you're winning these games Yet you feel better about the quarterback, but I think what Rob Salis said after the game was awesome I'd be really charged up about my head coach. It's like we've played Patrick from home's we played Josh Allen We've played Jalen Hertz were embarrassing all of them It's not the way that Rob Salis certainly talks about stuff the defense is the story there. We got him sucked in that Rob Salas certainly talks about stuff that defenses the story there. We got him sucked in. We got it. Charlotte, Charlotte's actually been impressed.

And I think we should be too about the endurance or the courage, I would say of Zach Wilson, because this is man, having that city fall on your neck and every voice that was involved with the jets just crushing you, that has to be unpleasant. I actually, I think Zach Wilson is like remarkably brave because it's not like he came in as the starter. If he'd come in as a starter and he sucked and everyone was, you know, all over him, it's one thing, but he came in following up one of the greatest quarterbacks of all, even though I can't say it in my address, I have to say that. And now he's actually to show up week after week after everybody's been like,

this is the worst quarterback we've ever seen. And then to actually get close and then to actually win like, what are you laughing about? Why are you laughing? Because we've set the bar so low. The courage we're assigning to Zach Wilson. Really, he, because I come here, man. He didn't ask me, like, he's an ass, he didn't ask me to be the second pick of the draft. You're right.

He didn't ask for that. But he was happy to have been a thought. Wait a minute. We're grace under fire. That's Zach Wilson is just. We didn't laugh, but he was getting crushed. Snugots in a way that you never see someone crushed a New York quarterback looking in and looking in competent.

And then having the signature names of David Damien Woody saying, I've been saying he's trash and Joe name it saying he shouldn't be allowed in the stadium. Man, that would shake anybody's confidence. And Mike Greenberg, I mean, don't leave him out. And you, I did say it, Dan. I did not say it. I have a list of people who criticize Zach Wilson and I am not on my own list, okay? But I'll tell you who wins.

I will tell you who is. Joe name it on the list. He cannot root for the jets the rest of the way. He cannot root for Zach Wilson. He said things to a 24 year old that no one should say to a 24 year old. Neymeth, you cannot root for the jets ever again, okay? Mike Greenberg, you are second on that list. You cannot root for the jets the rest of the way you can't do it. Damien Woody, you are third on that list. You cannot root for the jets ever again, not for the rest of this season. Mike EA, you are fourth on that list, fourth on that list. You could not, you criticize

Zach Wilson. You still don't want Zach to be your quarterback. You cannot root for the jets the rest of the way. And finally, my wife Abby. She has been ripping Zach Wilson nonstop for at least four weeks. And now all of a sudden, oh, I feel good for Zach Wilson. What a great story. Abby zip it up. I hate like the all in quarterback nature of NFL analysis because we're giving Zach Wilson the defense and Breeze Hall's glory because Because anytime Breeze Hall is fed, you get results. Remember, he was an MVP candidate by the time he got hurt last year.

You would be so pissed off at Zach Wilson if that defense didn't intercept that ball at the end of the game because you realize that your quarterback once again gave you nothing. Yeah, but we lied, Mike. Yeah. Stugat said, don't name us that things that you shouldn't ever say to a 24 year old

What are things you can't say to a 24 year old? I'll start rent this car Things you have your have your own health insurance I don't believe that our game plan in sending I believe it's 20's twenty to twenty five people lost angeles was to break down zack wilson adnauzeo that's what we're doing around here i mean it's just do you think about him like he says son yeah i love him i mean i don't know what it's all about we be the eagles yeah we be the eagles i call my daughter to celebrate okay but where the bar the where the bar is i do think it's fair to say that the bar

on Zach Wilson is, can you please not poop yourself in a way that loses us the game? That's it. That's where the bar is. Can you get over this low of a bar, which is don't be publicly incompetent in a way that loses us the football game because of you and only you so brave. courageous. What are you guys doing in L.A? Can you set the seat for us? I mean, no one's getting us ready for the charger game tonight. Hey, Mike, Mike wandered around LA and was super

disappointed at just the general indifference about football out here. I have to remind someone. I'm Saturday. I had to remind someone that the Rams were both playing in Los Angeles and on the TV at that time. It's just not a great NFL town at all, but I'm excited to see a bunch of Dallas Cowboys fans tonight and Jackson atmosphere into Sofie Stadium. For me, the draw isn't so much the game as it is that stadium because it's one of the best stadiums. If not the best stadium in America. Have you been to a game there? I've been to a WrestleMania there. That's almost the same thing. I mean, no, it's not.

One's the showcase of the Immortals. Right. But again, why are you guys out there? Is it for the big sit down with Sadano? What's going on here? Right. Sadano wouldn't come to us. So we've got to hoist Sadano like on Thursday this week.

Mike Goliath Jr. Yeah, Mike Goliath Jr. Yeah, Mike Goliath Jr. We had it today. And I didn't have to go anywhere. You beat us to the Mike Goliath Jr. story? I'm gonna have George on tomorrow. Mike was terrified, Stugat's terrified, that today you would beat him to the take

that he wants to give you before you can beat him to this take. So go ahead Mike, give it to him so he can't take it tomorrow. All right. We're going to explore this on tomorrow's show. I might still take it, Mike. I'm just going to say to you. I was looking at today's rundown as it was happening, praying to God,

you wouldn't take my take. What's the one thing that has plagued the Chicago Bears for the entirety of that franchise's history? He's like a casky family. And then quarterback, quarterback, right? All of the above. Yeah. A casky family. And then quarterback quarterback, right? All of the, yeah, all of the, all the, all the, all the, all the, the, the, the, the casky family and quarterback. But mainly, mainly quarterback, check this out.

The Chicago Bears should draft Caleb Williams and Drake May. Wow. Like, they should draft them both. One of them is bound to solve the problem. Look at how delighted he is. He's like, let's come up. them both. One of them is bound to solve the problem. Look at how delighted he is. He tickled through God's, but he's also angry that he didn't think of it first. He's saying, have them compete because he can't stop talking about how good Drake May was in person in

North Carolina when he had his heart broken this weekend. He said Drake May is the best quarterback he's ever seen in person on the college level. What? I plan against Miami. I've seen T-Bo, I saw Burrow before he hit his stride. That following year in LSU, I've seen James Winston. Drakemate was awesome last year against Miami, the year over year improvement. It's mind boggling. That is the best quarterback I have ever seen in person play against the university in Miami.

And I don't think it's cut and dry that Caleb Williams should be the number one, which is to say Chicago draft both of them. One of them is bound to be crazy. He takes from California. should be the number one, which is to say Chicago draft both of them. One of them's bound to be a baby. Hakes from California.
