Welcome to the Ringer NFL show. I'm your host, Shield Capadio. We got a fun show for you today. A couple of guests here on Radio Row at the Super Bowl. We got Chris Long, and then we got Ashton Genty. I wish I could tell you what we actually talked about,

but I'm not sure. It went in 400 different directions, but you know what? They played ball, and we had a lot of fun. So I got Billy Gill here with me. Then we'll welcome in Chris Long. Then we'll get to Ashton Genty. Let's take a break.

We'll come right back. All right, we are back here on the Ringer NFL show with Billy Gill. Chris Long, our guest today. Chris, how are we doing, my friend? I'm good, bro. How are you? Good. Great to see you.

Chris is here on behalf of Subaru, Billy, and I feel like you got the details for that. I feel like, yeah, you're here on behalf of Subaru. They're part of the ASPCA. Yep. Adopted some dogs. That's right. We like underdogs, right? Philly adjacent personalities on this con here.

Eight-year anniversary, I think, of us, went in that bowl. Somebody texted me this morning. That's the only one. I don't have a calendar. But Subaru loves underdogs. We're going to Muttville later today to play with some dogs. And Subaru wants to encourage people to adopt the underdogs, the older dogs that people kind of pass over. I'll be going out there in a Subaru Outback Wilderness, which is tight.

I've always wanted to get a Subaru and lift it up. Put it on like 36-inch tires. You can imagine that. So maybe they'll actually hook me up. They haven't told me if they would or not. Okay. But yeah, they're working with the SPCA. They love underdogs.

And I think it's just a great partnership. Yeah. No, I was told, Chris, but, you know, I ran into small Seattle Radio, friends today. Yeah. And they said, we got to get Chris Long on. He was the first person who adopted the Seahawks this year. Yeah. It's like a legit Super Bowl contender. Are you just, now Billy's looking a little skeptical. Yeah, I mean, I picked him to win the West. I have a bone to pick with you, no pun intended here. What is it? And you're here, you know, supporting underdogs. Yeah. And you're picking a favorite to win the game. Well, I'm not going to lay the points.

That's a lot of points in a game that could be lowered total. But I got to, I got to stick with my guns, man, I've been picking against the Patriots the whole playoffs. I'm not going to stop now. I just think, like, listen, if you're making the Patriots pick, it's probably a coach and QB pick, as good as I think McDonald is, having Josh McDaniel, having Mike Vrable,

having people in that organization with Super Bowl experience because this is a different animal playing in this game. And the quarterback, who I think is legitimately, in my opinion, I would probably give him the MVP, If it's a regular season award, I give them the MVP. But I think Seattle's defense, and it's not just the pass rush, I think as much as anything, the way they can erase the run phase and kind of play press and get up on these guys

and take the receivers away. Drake May loves to play with timing. That's the one thing they've done really well there. They've coached him to play with timing. They have the checkdowns. Their timing is going to be disrupted in this game. The only thing I could see is, like, New England, as much as they've blitzed and gotten after people,

if they can get Sam to do those Sam Darnel kind of things, which he's avoided in the playoffs, then they can win the game. Yeah. It feels like the Patriots path is Drake may be in Superman or Sam Darnal turning it over a couple times? Or the weird special teams, miss cues, you know, because you mentioned the Super Bowl is different, right? Like what advice, you've probably been asked this question?

It's probably a terrible question, Billy, you can make fun of me. But if you told these players who were in there for the first time, like, I wish I knew this before the first time I played in a Super Bowl, what are the things that are different? Find your normal as early as you can in the week. It is such a different week. It is a you know what show. You know, I remember like when I used to travel in the NFL,

your quietest moment in the week where you're finally recovering physically. You've got some time. You know, if you've got kids at home, you're certainly not getting any quiet at home. You get to the away hotel. You plop your stuff down in your room. You lay on the bed before meetings and you say, but when I got to Houston, the first Super Bowl I ever played now, I remember trying to do that.

and hearing helicopters outside, people outside converged around the, you know, the hotel. You can't go down to the lobby without people getting on you. You got radio row, you got media day. You got the owner having a party Friday night, like trying to watch film. And somebody from teams like, come on, you got to go to this party.

I'm like, are we trying to win the game or not? Yeah. You know, there's a lot of distractions. The halftime is longer. The whole thing, you walk out, because I used to walk out and do that little lap, just to kind of like see the field. and I remember doing that before the Super Bowl

and thinking like, oh my God, it is a zoo out here, dude. It's like the world's media. It's got that big game atmosphere and not like a regular season or a playoff big game, like an international game kind of feel. It's almost like you wish you didn't go to the Super Bowl. All the hassles, you know? Yeah, you wish you came in on Friday.

Like, honestly, like as a player, it'd be nice to come in on Friday, but that's not the name of the game. But once the game starts, your adrenaline kind of just, subsides, you hit somebody, that's what they say, and it goes away. Billy, you had anything? You were going on a different direction.

Otherwise, we get to these props. We're going to throw Chris Longplay. No, can I ask you something about the Patriots, your time with the Patriots? So obviously the Patriots are in the Super Bowl, but the news around the Patriots the past couple weeks have been Hall of Fame voting, Bill Belichick not getting in, Mr. Kraft not getting in. And we've been kind of talking about this for a while, wondering the whole Mr. Craft situation. Like, obviously it's a sign of respect, but why does everyone just go along with this?

Why are we all just saying Mr. Kraft, Mr. Kraft to him? Oh, I don't know, man. That's a funny thing. I've called him Robert Kraft a lot. All right. Like, just right now. That was the end of your last day with the Patriots? No, if I was to, I just don't think about that stuff.

Like, owners are, it's not like I'm like anti, I'm not like anti-Robber craft, but I'm not afraid of Robert Kraft. Like, he's not going to, like, show up outside my house if I phone Robert Kraft. People seem to be afraid. him. I don't know why. He's a perfectly nice guy. You know, I thought the bill not being in the Hall of Fame was kind of BS. Because to me, like, what was it about? Like, if y'all had to guess, what was it about? It would be anti-hosts. It didn't win enough, I guess. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was buying this sort of backroom Bill Polian, hey, maybe he should have to wait, spygate,

because I can't think of another. And that's, I'm not saying that's a great reason. No, I know. But I can't think. No one can look at. at the resume and say no. So somebody tell me this. If the, if the Pats thought it was like, or if the NFL thought it was like some moral high ground deal breaker, shouldn't they have Pete rose them? Like, they didn't, they kept enjoying, you know, the fruits of that dynasty. They kept enjoying his greatness for all those years. And then when it's time to recognize him, you're like, oh, you got to wait. We're going to tax you. It's too big a deal to put you in first ballot. Yeah. So we're going to make you wait a year. Like, what does that say about your moral high ground?

Yeah. Like, like, okay. So we're too good for your year. One. but year two, we'll let you in. Like, that's BS to me. And also, like, you know, that, hey, he only coached in New England, had success there. Well, he also, they put his game plan as a DC in the Hall of Fame. And, you know, how many coaches get in the damn Hall of Fame with one place that they were dominant? Yeah. So why are we holding him to a higher standard?

Yeah. That's the goofiest thing in the world, in my opinion. There was also the weird theory, Chris, of the, hey, everybody else is going to vote for him. I don't need to. I'm going to get these other guys in. Have you ever done that? Like when you, remember when you were a kid, did you ever have to, like, vote for teammates who are going to be in the All-Star game? That's interesting.

You know, where it's like, well, everyone's going to vote for this guy. Let me give this other guy some love. Dude, I think, you know what sucks? It's like, the Pro Bowl is totally broken. It's been broken for a long time. Yeah. And the Hall of Fame should be like, shouldn't be that. Like, the Hall of Fame, emotion shouldn't factor into it.

Nothing like that. Like, it seems like the only thing that we still have is, like, all pro. Like, you know, that to me. That's the only reliable thing. If you want to look at history of the last 10 years where you're, like, I can actually trust this. Yes. Yeah.

So, I mean, like, it's a broken kind of system. Yeah. It sucks that, you know, Bill should be in, man. And maybe he comes back, and maybe that's part of it. Like, maybe he wants to come back and coach somewhere. I don't know. But, yeah, it's BS. The other thing, Billy, that caught my attention when Chris was talking saying, like,

you go home, if you have kids, that's going to be busy. We were talking this week about just the NFL culture as it pertains to fatherhood, you know? Jake Lazy. Yeah. Yeah. He's flexing at me. Oh my God, are we in danger? Yeah, I don't know.

I'll protect you. Don't worry. Are we in danger? You're good. I'm coming, I'm going. You call him Mr. Glazer, you know? There you go. He's saying I, let's see.

Are you hanging for a sec? I'll see ya. All right, what's you got? No, yeah, like fatherhood in the NFL. Jay, just walking in all over here. I like that. That's the fun of being here. Do some jujitsu while you?

There was the. Him? You do jujitsu with him? I have before, but he's always, you know guys that do jujitsu, they like to greet people. and kind of like do their moves on him. You're substantially larger than him, obviously, but he has probably like the technique.

Can you? Oh, yes. You don't think he beat the shit out of you? Big truck beats little truck. Okay, little truck knows jujitsu. That's cool. Big truck beats little juke. All right.

Okay. What is the workout routine now? I think we're of a similar age. I'm trying to know my whole Instagram is just dad material. Now, I know I can't do. I know I can't do. I know I can't do. The workout.

We are the same. Yeah, but similar athletic level. I would say. Similar. I would say. But my whole Instagram now, it's like golf tips, and then it's like you're over 40. You should be doing this stretching routine. Walk, lift weights three days a week. You don't need to do anything else. If you listen to your algorithm, you'd never have time in the day. You'd be doing a bunch of stuff.

But I do like the clothing and hat recommendations it gives me. Yeah, I buy some stuff on Instagram all time. I love it. People get mad. I'm like, they know me. They know what I like. I bought underwear the other day that it was targeted ad that says has a ball hammock. And I was like, I got to try it. Sex? I don't remember what it was. I got to try it.

See how it works out. There's a promo code. I have to sign up to like a yearly subscription. I'm like, we're going to try it and cancel it immediately. Now, didn't have the fly? It's like a little capsule.

You know what else I've been targeted with lately is mushroom coffee. And it's supposed to be like four different or five different types of mushrooms. Got to get your adapt. And they're supposed to these little things in there. And then they combine and supposed to get rid of my gut. And I'm seeing it, I'm like, I got to get rid of my gut.

Yeah. They're telling me here. If I work out too much, it's not going to do anything. Cardio's a waste of time. What you got to do is just drink once a day for 30 days, this mushroom coffee, and it's going to clear out your gut. Dude, you guys have a really good algorithm. My algorithm's like, like, like, accidents in other countries, like semi-trucks hitting motorcycles or, like, terrible news about the

government and how screwed up it is or like football. I don't get any of this stuff. I need to get, I need to get y'all's algorithm. But you don't need to work out. You don't need to get rid of a gut. Like they know you're fine when you're interested in seeing to accident. That feels like the right answer. I don't know, dude. You just need to take care of your microbiome, dude. Okay. That's the bottom line.

How do we do that? Well, a lot of fiber, and you want to be careful about the foods that you're putting in your gut. Your gut health is your health, dude. That's what I've realized is I've gotten older. So what should I change? I don't know what you're doing, dude. Do you do a fiber supplement in the morning? Imagine everything that's bad, that's what I'm doing, you know?

Well, then I would stop doing those things. It's so hard. Last food is so delicious. No, dude, up the protein, up the fiber, up the greens, man. You know what happened to me one time? So I did track in college. So I said, you know, I was a pole vaulter, obviously. But you can tell me.

Really? Yeah. So what I said was, I got to put on weight because at the time, I graduated senior year. I was weighing like 160 or something, right? I'm like, I got to put on some muscle because I'm like lanky. I'm tallish enough, but I'm lanky. I got to put on some weight. I got to put on some muscle.

So I went into a supplement store. and I was like, I got to get some weight gainer. I got some protein. So I asked the woman that was working there. I was like, hey, I want to gain some muscle. I want to gain some weight. What should I do? She just like, take this.

And what she gave me, she didn't know what she was doing. She gave you some gear. Dude, she gave me something that was five scoops of protein to put in a shake. It was like drinking mud. It was disgusting. I did it like three times. I couldn't force it down after a while. And then, you know what happened to me?

What? I failed my physical because they're like, hey, you're peeing out protein. There's blood. You're like, there's blood. They're like there's blooding your urine. It's like soft served. Yeah, you messed up your kidneys with this stuff. And I was like, I don't think this is life for me.

That's why you can't go to like GNC and be like, what do I do? What do I do? But you nailed it. No, but like, yeah, what do I do? Honestly, though, creatine helps. Okay. If you're not on creatine, every man, woman should be on creatine. Everybody should be on creatine.

I'm on seven grams a day. I do, I actually cross my Subaru and create creatine gummies. But like, that stuff's good for your cognition. it's good for your muscle mass, like your retention of muscle. Creatine gummies sounds easy. It is easy. You're done with it. Creatine gummies, really.

Yeah, but it's not like a scoop that I have to put it in shape. Okay. Yeah, I'm just making sure. You know, it's the first part. My mushroom coffee, my creatine gummies. Yeah, yeah. Creatine helps a lot. I notice, like, you know how they say like this thing works, this thing doesn't?

When I don't take creatine, I notice a different. You know, yeah. This was great. You know, we came in with a plant. We all, we'll throw some prop bets his way. Shaheed. When you, Jehide, a longest reception, you like? MVP, long shot.

30 plus yard gain. Okay. Because don't you think Marcus Jones ends up on Cooper Cup a lot? Yes. And don't you think they probably travel Gonzo a little bit? Here's the thing, though. Not to go back to football. Yeah.

One thing I loved about Kubiak last week and in general is like where he moves his chest pieces. Like when they ran Red Zone scissors down there with JSN out of the backfield. That's what they're going to have to do. They're going to have to move people around. get him out of those matchups but i think she he whoever draws the davis matchup those are the props those are the props i'm hitting what what what what an interview with that was billy that was that was fantastic dogs bought some car yeah taking some creatine yeah got a new workout plan maybe we'll follow up on that you know our accidents in other countries for you yeah dude like terrible

stuff like don't look at it don't stop on the bunch of like got into a semi like falling off like a dangerous road like that's now my phone is here and it's listening and i'm probably going to get He probably did that now.

All right, we are back here on the Ringer NFL show with Ashton Genti, who's got this nice jacket on, this Sharpie jacket on here on behalf of Sharpie.

How are you doing, man? I'm doing wonderful. Shout out to Sharpie, you know, it's an honor to be one of their rookies, you know, of the year. And, you know, this year I get the honor of, you know, passing it down to another great running back. Jeremiah Love. So shout out to Jeremiah Love, man. See, he's a pro, Billy. I gave you the read because I was like, we got to read this for and he just kind of did it for you. Are you okay? Because he got to stole your thunder. No, I heard you're passing the Sharpie to Jeremiah Love. I'm wondering, is this like an official

ceremony? Like, how do we do this? Also, he mentioned your jacket. Yeah. What do we do with this jacket after you wear this out? You go to the club in that jacket? It's a nice jacket. A little warm. I think I'm going to keep it on, you know, I might go to sleep and all that type stuff. Okay. But, uh, no, no, man, I just, you know, passing the church down, you know what I'm saying, you know, I can't, you know, I can't beat a rookie no more, you know what I'm saying, I'm going in the year too. So Jeremiah, obviously, being an amazing player, you know, doing bold things on the field and Sharpie's doing bold things off the field, so it's only right to pass it down to him. I noticed these Sharpies that you brought, you, you have their, they have your signature on them.

You have, like your own signature branded Sharpie. Yeah, no, it's pretty dope, yeah. Can I ask you a question? And I love Sharpe. Growing up, I love Sharpie. I love when they have the different color Sharpies, the red, the green. What's your favorite color, I guess? We'll start with that.

The favorite color, it's gotta be the, like, the metallic silver. Ooh. That one's fire. I like the metallic silver over like the copper or gold ones that they have too. Like, those are a little too flashy. It's a little too, look at me, you know?

Yeah, the silver is just right, you know, it's perfect. Yeah, you sign a Raiders jersey and silver, it's perfect. Everyone could use a silver sharpie. Now, you know the problem with Sharpie? And I don't know what pull you have now since you're you're passing the torch or passing the Sharpie. I don't know if this ends your partnership with Sharpie, but my kids, two and four, also love Sharpie.

The problem is they love decorating the walls with Sharpie. So Sharpie's a great product. It's such a quality product. The only problem with Sharpie is it's impossible to remove. Yeah, I mean, that just shows you how great they are. You know what I'm saying? It's permanent. You know what she uses?

It's there. It's commitment. Yeah. It's there. It's commitment. I'm wondering, though, like with this pull that you have with Sharpie, maybe you invent a Sharpie eraser. something, you know, you pull this one out, it has your signature and then on the other end, boom, pink eraser or something, you know?

You might be on to something, you know. Sharpie. Let's go into this together. Let's do it. All right, there you go. Your partnership formed here on race. I know Ashton has not been asked that much about Sharpie in any of his other interviews today, so there we go.

We're setting the tone here. All right, now, Ashton, when you're watching the Super Bowl on Sunday, I'm not asking this for any specific reason, but when you see Kenneth Walker, are you going to perhaps just again, for no reason? picturing yourself in that scheme with some of those runs, hmm, how would I perform if, you know, hypothetically speaking, I were in that scheme with that type of coach? Yeah, I mean, you know, I definitely, you know, my mind might go there, you know,

and shout out to Kenneth Walker, you know, having an amazing year, amazing playoff run, but, you know, we'll see, you know, I might be looking at a couple things for sure. Okay, all right. Now, we had Chris Long on earlier today, and he was giving us some tips on just what we, can do to be healthier. And you are, obviously, an NFL athlete. Great chip. He told us protein, fiber, creatine. Am I missing anything, Billy? We talked about like mushroom coffee because it'll

clear out your gut, but I don't know. He said gut health very important. Yeah. What do you have for us? Now, we're much older than you're looking at us. Like, these guys are a lost cause perhaps. Yeah. If you had to give us some tips perhaps, what would you, what would you say? Yeah, I think it's just all about, you know, what you eat. I mean, I know, I know everybody, you know, can't get a personal But, I mean, I have a personal chef to really dial in my calories and, you know, exactly what I'm eating. And then I would say that everybody, pretty much everybody can get a juicer. Get you a juicer. Juice your own fruits.

You know, make whatever flavors you want. And you talk about gut health, you know, nothing's better for you than some fresh, freshly squeezed juice. But someone told me, Ashton, that when you juice the fruit, it loses the fiber. Is that a myth? Do we know? We're not sure. I don't believe in that. Okay.

I know. I like that. I love this. Can I ask you, so how does a personal chef work? Are you surprised by the meals? Like, you just come up and, like, the chef has, like, lunch is ready and you just sit down and lunch? I'm so interested in this still. Is there like a menu?

Do you work this out in advance? Look, let's be real. I'm never going to have a signature sharpie. I'm never going to have a personal chef. I disagree with that. So put a ceiling on what you can accomplish. I like that. I like that.

But, no, so, yeah, we have a menu. And, you know, especially now, offseason, you know, it's really dialed in. But, you know, some days it is just kind of go with the flow, you know. I might want pork chops. I might want salmon, you know, so he can cook just about anything, you know. Well, you're the boss, right? So, like, the chef can say this is what you should eat. This is what's good for you.

What if you're like, you know what? No, we're having a pepperoni pizza today. Right. I could say that, but, you know, he's going to hold me accountable. Yeah. We're trying to be great, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. Maybe on the cheek, then, you know what I'm saying?

So that's the thing is you're talking to two people who are not great, so we don't really understand that mentality. I have said, though, if. If I were ever to come across a nice, you know, amount of money, fruits and glutes, those are two things. I want someone slicing the fruits for me, making me food like a personal job. And then someone to stretch me out, Ashton, because earlier we had Chris Long sitting where you were sitting. I got up, I didn't want to kick him and left groin. I didn't get my stretches, locked up a little.

When I see you guys on the practice field getting stretched and they're pushing the foot up and they're hand me, I'm like, if I could get someone to do this for me, every day, I would be a new man. Wait, so you want a trainer, too? Like a stretcher, I just want a stretcher. I want that. Just a personal stretcher? Yeah, what do you think? Is this a business opportunity, Ashton? Not as good as the Sharpie idea.

Right, right. I think there's something there for sure. Okay. He thinks there's something there. You're going to walk around the Raiders facility and just say, hey, guys, next year, new coach. Well, no, we know there's going to be a new coach. We're not sure exactly who it is yet, but we pretty much know who it is. Don't get him.

He cannot confirm her to line. Possibly a new quarterback. don't know that situation. We're not going to get into that. We're not going to talk about maybe a new quarterback. And then also, new routine, new model. You bring everybody in before the game, hands in, fruits and glutes. I don't know if I can do that one. Okay. I don't know if they would get ready for the game with that one. All right. Maybe just a one time deal. Yeah. Yeah. See how they react to it. With the coaching staff and the change, though, how are you like online a lot or just people texting you, hey, look at this. Are you like, man, don't tell me anything. I'll

find out what it happens. How do you consume the NFL sort of rumor mill when it obviously could affect you, your team, your standing, all that stuff? Yeah, I mean, obviously, you know, I got social media, so I see different stuff. But, you know, at the end of the day, I'm just waiting, you know, until it's official, you know, setting stone, you know, when I'm in the building, and, you know, I see those people in the building. Yeah. We were talking, you said you're on social media. We were talking about our algorithms earlier with Chris Long. He says he's got crazy stuff like crashes in other countries. Billy says he's getting a lot of underwear ads.

What was the thing you got, Billy? Ball hammocks. That's what they get me. Yeah. I haven't tried any. I ordered them. They came while I was here, so I haven't tried them yet.

They've told me that it's supposed to be good. I got a trial. So we'll see, you know. Next year you come back, I said mine's like, you know, I got some golf tips and then I got a lot of like,

you're over 40. Like, don't die early. Here are the things you can do. What is on Ashton Jentz's algorithm? On my algorithm, it gets pretty crazy, but I'm, I'm not gonna lie. I've been having a lot of ads like, yeah, underwear. They've been talking about all this plastic and, you know, all this dangerous stuff from your

underwear. Yeah, yeah, yeah, a micro thing, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. A lot of butts too, honestly. We're gonna be honest and you know what happens on Instagram, but we don't need to get into that today if you don't want to. Yeah, we're getting to know him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We can get into the nitty-gritty. Okay. Yeah, I said I like it that they recommend stuff for me because they know what I like when it's like, hey, you might want to buy this hat. You're a bald man. The hat's an important example. I'm like, great. You know what I like. Do you like? I like the algorithm when they're trying to sell me stuff. I'm not one of these like doom and gloom like, oh man, I can't believe they're serving me stuff. How do you feel about it? I mean, I feel pretty good about it.

I mean, you know, meta's obviously, you know, they're listening. They're taking notes. So I might, I might think something and then, you know, how do you know, do this? But it just pops up later on, you know what I'm saying? I had a huge argument with my wife because she's like, your phone's listening to everything. I go, no, it's not. The mic is off. And the next thing I know something we talked about,

I've logged on Instagram. It's crazy. Well, that's what I'm wondering, too. Is it that they know us or are they like programming us? Like, this is what you should like. This is what you should buy. That's a good point, you know? Have you, like, you said that you keep up,

you have social media, you see the news and stuff like that. This game's in San Francisco. Have you seen the stories of like that substation that's next? to the stadium that's like a power facility that allegedly is like sending off these waves and that's why 49ers have been getting hurt i've i've seen that i've heard that apparently they're investigating stay away are you going to the game i am not going stay away don't get close to that stadium we don't want to get hurt yeah no i do think that was debunked with some reporting some scientific experts i will say this report came out that the players association's looking into

this now is that true now it's take it's being taken to another last level now. Listen, you got a nice facility in Vegas. Oh, yeah, you know, top of the line, you know, Intermountain Health Facility, you know. It's wonderful. I mean, so he, so he, you get the personal chef for what dinner in the in season, but then the cafeteria, they're probably cooking up great stuff there too as well, right? Wonderful. Top tier. This has to be, is that the best part about being a professional athlete? It's got to be up there. It's got to, it's up there for sure.

This stuff you just take, like you just take, not like a criminal take, but like, Just like extra stuff. Like you hear there's just a bunch of Sharpies, right? Like what do they have? Like normal people at work, they'll see them like, oh, you know what? I could use a couple pens. You swipe a couple pens. You go home with that.

What do you take from an NFL facility? They have like everything. I mean, for sure the clothes, like the shorts, you know, socks. They got this big drawer with a bunch of socks in there. I go in there every now and just, you know, take a bunch of pairs. All right. I made that life change recently where I used to wear the socks in the morning that I'd come back and I would stuff them in the shoe.

You know, my parents' first generation in America is that we're getting, But now I'm like, you know what, I got a paycheck. I'm not, if I ward outside once and they're a little sweaty, I'm changing them from my next. You don't do that? Yeah. No, I can't say I do that. You change stocks multiple times in a day? Absolutely.

That's crazy. That's crazy? Yeah, well, right now I will say, you know, it's a warm in here. I don't want to get too. Again, it's our first time talking to you, so I don't want to do it. You can go too far, yeah. Yeah, we can't go too far. But all right, there you go.

Do you avoid the game just because you're one of those guys? It's like, I don't want to go to a Super Bowl until I'm in. in the Super Bowl. There's players that do that. I wouldn't say it's because of that. I just don't really have an interest to go to the game. You just want to get out of here. I just want to be at home. Enough already.

How much football can you watch? I know, right? He's at the game. They got food, but it's not great. He's at home. He tells the chef. Come on. Yeah.

Wait, hold on a second. What's the party like? You have the chef cook off for everybody? You know, no, I'm kind of selfish, so I'm just, he's just cooking for me. I like that. I love that. I'm keeping him all to myself. That's right.

Feed all the people around you fatty foods and have their bodies, like, fall apart. They get whatever. You should know what you got to do. This is what you got to do. When you're headed into, like, free agency, what you do is you reach out to, like, the other free agent that are out there. Right. Like other running backs, you say, you know what, I got this great chef. And then you pay them a little bit extra on the side so that he's feeding them horrible shit that their body's breaking down.

So when you head into free agency, you're in the best shape and they're all eating, like, overweight, a little bit slower, bloated. Because he's your guy. I mean, that's a good point. I don't know if I could get all that done. If you want... He's going to be fine. He doesn't need that help. He's going to be in contact with someone.

I'll do the dirty work. We'll live it up to you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll make the call. This is the start of a beautiful partnership. Yeah. All right. His name is Ashton Genty.
