She actually made a made us mugs. That's right. Look at these check this out. She's the Neagles
Gotta love it, man. I know. Hey, cheers
This is actually a heavy duty page. We love this. Thank you so much. I mean, I'm big into this
This is the kind of pottery I like a little bit of rustic
Nice glazing. There's a little bit of a jagged edge on the handle from being honest kind of your potter
You it does hit it occasionally your potter rounded off the way you would like but
It's very good nonetheless. This is the best mug I've ever been gifted is the best money you found a way to destroy it
No, I mean now I feel exactly what you're saying and it's uncomfortable
It's a very nice mug. I appreciate a lot. It'll probably be my most used mug
She actually wrote us a letter. Oh, yeah, how about that page? Thank you. Hey
This letter is gonna read it is outstanding. You want to take the first paragraph we're doing back to ella mentorship Jason and travis
Hi, I hope that you love your mugs just as much as I love making them for you. I am a master student
Pottery and pottery
In getting my degree in mental health. Oh, okay, sorry
pottery ceiling
Mental health concealer. We're having a punctuation here. Oh, no, and pottery is more creative outlet that I use
After a long day at school nice. So this is this is how you this is your stress reliever right here
I love it page. Thank you for that. I've been a fan of the podcast pretty much from the beginning and a fan of football
since I was a child anyway
These hugs were thrown on the pottery these mugs. God. Is that not look like hugs?
When you said hugs I read anyway these hugs
It's like it's like in between cursive and this stuff like it's like in between both of them
Yeah, I mean, well, you know time. I'm just gonna go back to same one. Okay. We're going okay
Anyway, these mugs were thrown on the pottery wheel and then I attached the plaque
And the handle that I pulled by hand just a little mug maintenance for you
Please hand wash the mugs and do not put them in the microwave. Okay, that's actually
Noted advice my wife puts mugs in the microwave all the time. So thank you for saying that
Uh, do you want to end this thing? Thanks again to both of you your soda whole team. Thanks much love page
This is amazing. It is the fact that you actually wrote all of this
On both papers
Well and made it out to page. We are definitely interested in doing pottery
You talked about it before we have talked about it. I never thought to take it to the
Point of like actually like coloring it and all that well. This is called glazing glaze like at you
You are you a glazer?
I have not yet, but
If page would assist me, I would love the glaze. I cannot I can't imagine you it's like
You and arts and crafts. I just can't imagine I was a big arts and crafts kid
What did you use to make whenever we went to uh the summer camps and stuff? I would either make stuff with the beads or uh
Oh, do you remember the sand?
I wasn't a sand kid. I wasn't a sand what? Yeah, the sand was too messy for me
I liked uh, I don't even know what this was
But you were essentially braiding different colors of nylon fabric
You would be you'd cross them like this and then you criss cross them over and over again
At the end you'd have a long braid that you'd make into like a necklace or bracelet or something like that
I know exactly what you're talking about. I think everybody watching right now knows exactly what i'm talking about
Because it was very therapeutic for a nice stress reliever
Just like you page. Hey, jump holds. Thank you very much. We're gonna enjoy these mugs
Yeah, we also got this from you wrong organization 437 great username. I'm officially a tire cover
Thank you for including your thumb most importantly in this picture
Listen guys, how am I gonna mirror this up so I can you laugh?
Why I think what happened is this guy
You wrong decision 437. He probably took a picture a little bit zoomed out and then he posted it being zoomed
He's probably trying to be that guy sounds like you've dealt with this before
Have you never taken a picture of a thumbs up or something?
Uh, no
Maybe that's just a dad move. All right. Either way. It looks pretty cool. I've seen you in a jeep Wrangler before
Yeah, I used to look I mean there were three cars that was off
Actually, there were there were two cars that I wanted my whole life. What were they?
Uh a pickup truck
I
Don't care what make a model a pickup truck. It's got to be from the from the homeland man
You can't go overseas for a Toyota makes a fucking great pickup truck
I don't have a Toyota for those of you that have them. I'm jealous. They're very good Turks
So what was the other truck? What was the other car?
You said I wanted a jeep Wrangler those are the only two cars I ever wanted nice and I ended up getting both of them eventually and
Now I realize I don't fit jeep Wranglers unfortunately, so I get rid of it
That's where that story ends. Now. I want a cyber truck
Are those even real not yet. I got the I got the
Electric Hummer that they do have the electric Hummer which is a bad
That is the coolest car. How many people how many of those have they made?
That's a great question. I don't know. I don't think they've made many. I heard it was like a thousand or something like that
That sounds about right. I think the amount of batteries necessary to make that thing actually move
You gotta take out a big piece of the earth. Yeah. Yeah. All righty. That car is sweet. It's yeah
That thing is fast
Crabwalks moving on to the fan mentions of the week. There's really one thing we got to talk about
Travis Kelsey trying to guess all of the NFL head coaches and ended up making waves around the internet and swept the nation
It was trending on twitter instagram. Uh any social media it can trend on it was trending. Yeah, I felt pretty bad
I felt pretty bad. I mean watching in time. I was it was a very small picture on a
on a computer. It's kind of blurry. I really couldn't see
Clear pictures of the faces. I listen. I did it right after you did it and I didn't do well either
Yeah, I felt terrible because I've I've I've
A lot of those guys that I said I didn't know I've shaken their hands
I don't care what anybody says
And josh mittain did not look like josh mittain was in a bro and I feel terrible. I see the man twice a gear
I've shook his hand my entire career. Right. I mean it was a bad photo
It's hard to tell nfo coaches without caps and uh
coach gear on
So just hard
Especially in a blurry graining
Photo you can see me like looking into the sun. Yeah looking into this
And not all of them had the skin tight clothing that mike mikarth hit on
I can't keep talking shit about mike mikarth
My guts. I'm not gonna get crushed for fat shaming mike mikarthi. When is that happening?
You can't get your fat
It's a good point mikarthi shoot it back at him, man. It's fair game
All right, let's get back to that. I the head coaches from um the head coach picture
Also made the front page for the esp n
Uh
dot com website the esp n uh home page
I think that's a better version of that during major league baseball opening day
So even on opening day the most iconic moment of the uh major league baseball season
No opening day erin judge hidden home run first that bad that wasn't first that wasn't on the uh home page
What the home page was you not being able to name eight edge coaches in the nfl
Idiot, why do you always do this Travis? It was eight out of 29 though. It wasn't eight out of 32
So some people didn't realize you guys weren't there
Do you think would have would you have missed any of the three that weren't there?
Ooh, do you know the three that weren't there?
I know two of them right off the bat. Let me just think just for a quick second. It was very
I just know it wasn't in there
Siri on any that would it that
You you don't know next year yet, but I know Josh if you would have went over three
I know the Eagles coach. I know stafansky. I know these guys
Dude if you would have went over the picture
If you could have blended in do you even watch me play what do you watch eagles games?
I watch two games all the time all the time
Who was the third coaches who's who's the third coach that wasn't there
Frank right frank reg. I should have known that
Do you know what frank reg looks like go?
Who does frank? This is a fun game. So does frank right look there's one guy right away
What he talks like him. I don't know if it looks like him um
Frank right we am niecing
It looks just like him and talk we talked just like him. Yeah. Do you have anybody reach out to you about that?
About you not being able to be
Uh, I had a few people. Yeah, who reached out to you mac if he reached out thought it was hilarious
What do you say? Haha? Yeah, basically. Yeah, just like yeah
That's always a good comment. That's good shit. Thanks pat and then um who else reached out
A lot of coaches actually reached out like maybe not the head coaches in the photos
They're like try this remember me
If there's any making sure if there's ever any uh future uh
Oh my gosh, um, so let's tee up these 12
Topics coming in hot recap last week in the nfl the no fun league as we were talking about
Um, Jason not a lot going on in the nfl right now draft coming up
Yeah, not too many teams are making moves who kind of going to wait to see who they get in the draft to make some more free agent moves and
How they're going to fill out that team on what'd you find throughout the nfl last week?
What I find out through for the nfl uh not much. Um, yeah slow week
It's a great week to release a video of uh, uh viral videos in general
Uh, or just talking on twitter so we're gonna do a lot of social media stuff
So right here, um, we're gonna talk about uh the fact that nfl players think that they can play in the mba
That's right step-on digs or at least a video of him playing basketball
To which thousands of people were very impressed. It was hidden shots and he was he was bro. He looked good
Do you really think he looked good? Yes
I thought he looked good for like a normal person, but to like what do you mean?
People saying that he could play in the nfl or mba
Sorry, you can't play that you could definitely play in the nba
Nnavil
One of the best in the yeah, he can definitely do that
I did not for a second think that I saw that and was like he can play in the mba
I mean, I didn't watch it and say he could play in the mba, but I watched it said all right. He's got some game
I watched and said, you know, he'll dominate
Most lifetime. Yeah, like he'll he'll dominate most of the games. He's in but he's not anywhere close to being in the nba
Nor close
He's stiff. I'm not gonna argue that like and I think other people don't realize. I mean how tall is he stiff
For a basketball player. I thought he was robotic in his movements. I was not impressed at all
He talked about looking at combines looking at prospects. I want to see that fluidity
I don't I didn't see any of that he had good handles and he was making the shots. They were legit step-back jumpers
I mean one thing if it I can't do any better. I'm not saying all I'm saying is people are saying that he can play in the nba
And it's just ridiculous. There's nothing about that that said he was an NBA player and he's how tall stiffman dicks
Was six one. Yeah, maybe
He's getting his shots swatted if anybody is playing even remotely defense on him. None of that stuff is going down like at all
I'm just not buying what you're selling dude. I think I think there's a chance he can get some buckets. Yeah
Against an nba player. Are we talking like in a game and like an NBA game?
What are we talking? I'm just saying like one-on-one versus an NBA player
I can see him maybe getting some buckets, but like against an actual like defense
I don't think there's a chance in how I score a point. No, not the NBA doesn't even have the unless he walks up to half court before anybody gets on him
He just shows throws up a prayer
Um prayer. Yeah
That's it. That's the only way scoring. It's the file man. I'm sorry for his ignorance dog
This is ridiculous slay and aj brown think they can also come off the bench to get 12
Yeah, slay can slay hoop
He says he can
I'm assuming he's good. All of these guys are good
Basketball players. They're just not NBA caliber basketball players. That's all I'm saying aj browner actually doubled down and said he could hit
250
average. Yeah, I mean that's MLB and that is
Absolutely ridiculous
There is no way. I actually I've drafted I've got in the cage. You know you're drafted by the uh, yeah
No, I know he's a big baseball guy. Yeah, still. Yeah, it's
I got in the case especially now
Like once you take time away from baseball that ball is coming in
Lightning quick. There aren't too many things that I like don't think aj brown can do
Pretty good. All right now fan 250 is uh, I mean you're hitting one quarter
of
Of your at bats. Uh, I mean that's like you're
Why are you playing in the NFL?
You make way more money
Like getting hit or anything every year. There's no way. Yeah, no way. Um, I got in the cage versus john lester
Sayon winner. Okay, he's with the uh, he's with the cubs and uh, he was right. It was right as covid was starting to hit
So he was supposed to pitch in spring training
covid hit they canceled the game and he's actually in the cage just like simulating game
But there were a few prospects that were going into the cage and actually having at bats and i'm sitting there
I'm just watching it and
One of the coaches came over my guy
Rick suckliff big rick
He uh, he asked lester feel as cool if I got in the cage against him. They got in the box
What do you feel like it felt electric? It was like I was like, I was in the MLB
He was still bringing him like low 90s. I mean it wasn't when he was you know, I mean he wasn't pumping a, you know
95
You know what i'm bet league in college. Are you played against guys that have thrown 90 for sure?
Yeah, this was
Yeah, because I there's my first time in a cage in about 10 years. Okay, that's a big difference
And uh, and I was going up against lefty
Well lefty verse right he is supposed to be in the no, it's always way better versus righty. I don't know why
That's not what uh, money ball says i'm a different dude. All right, either way
I got a foul tip and it felt like I hit a home run
I mean even making contest what i'm saying and it was a cutter. It was a cutter. I was on it
I mean you give me a 10 was a fast ball. I'm hitting that thing. John if it was a fast ball. I might have
Might have missed it
Hine inside but I saw it come off. I saw come off the hand. I was like that things moving. That things moving
And then he struck me out
You had another cutter. Yeah, I mean I missed
I just do not think that
NFL players can play in the NBA
I damn sure I don't think NFL but hit players can bat for 250 in the major league baseball
Uh, but I do true. I have all the confidence in the world of my teammates. So
AJ Brown maybe my brother in no chance
And
Here's how we're going to settle this because we can't agree we're going to have an expert an NBA
Uh, ability. Okay, I think uh, we know one
I think there's one who actually might work in this exact studio that we're in right now
That's right. All right now
Mr. Paul George has started a podcast with his exact same production
Uh building wse
Sports entertainment you uh, I think it's only fair to settle this debate by asking you
Mr. George
Can you please tell us if you think any NFL player can play in the NBA and also, uh, maybe
Whether NBA players can play in the NFL if you think that could happen whichever one you think
Is a potential i'd be curious to see what you say. I cannot wait to hear this answer by paul
And i'm assuming he's gonna he's gonna do this on his uh his podcast
podcast p
Uh, what do you think uh, what do you think that follow on youtube? What what do you think he's gonna say?
I think that he is going to say it's possible for both. I think I think he's he's one of those guys that believes it
Well, I think he's wrong. I think well he hasn't even offered an opinion yet
I think you're wrong in your opinion of what podcast p is gonna say. She's just want to fucking just tell me i'm wrong
That's the only thing. That's the only thing. I just disagree with you on NBA. I'm not just trying to disagree to disagree
I just we had another huge piece in the NFL off season come to light. What's that?
kylee kelsey gave us an exclusive footage of what it's like having a baby with snorlax
This guy is useless
He is sleeping
non-stop in the hospital room yep
giving
Terrible reviews on bagels. I didn't give a bad review on bagels. I thought you only you only ate
One of the bagels or one side of the bagel because it was no I
I ate one side of the bagel because I ordered three bagels because I couldn't decide which bagel I wanted
So I just ordered three different bagel sandwiches
And then I so everybody thought I was like examining the bagel for the perfect bite
But I was really just trying to figure out which bagel that one was that I ordered
Whether it was the sausage egg and cheese the pastrami. I don't even remember what the third one was. I think it was uh
uh, what's the Mexican sausage?
Jorizo
Who said that?
Good job Greg
Treaso yeah, the trees a bagel
And I couldn't eat all three of them at the time. So I only ate one half of them and uh
This is going nowhere
Well, the sausage egg and cheese was clearly better
Can't go wrong with it. And um, yeah, I mean listen
Having a child as the dad
There's not much that you knew
Did you do anything
Did you I went to the hospital
This guy's and I offered my words of encouragement
I held her hand for for the few amount of pushes she would need it because she's a freaking unbelievable champ
It's a baby making machine
And she uh, you're kind
Yeah, you doctors do you have any you know, it's impressive when your wife gives birth to a child
And the doctor's like man that was impressive
That's serious
What can't she do any tips for soon to be dads the one piece of advice I got the dads all everywhere when you're going in
Uh for your first baby being born. It's very I don't know if you know this it's very common for the dad to pass out
I swear to god
I'm known multiple no because I I'm about to give the the tip here's where all the dads mess up and you made fun of me about the bagels
You're there for a long time a lot of times, right?
And what happens is these dads who are not experienced in blood sugar levels
They go in there and they don't eat anything for hours on end and just lie in a couch and then freaking it gets up
And your adrenaline's going and you see a baby pop out of something you never seen before
That's because your blood sugar's low so the moment they they tell me you get to know when it's going down
You'll know pop a granola bar in bagel sandwich. Whatever you gotta do keep those blood sugars up and you'll coast through that thing with the profits
Yeah, that's my one piece of advice noted all right. It's time hit his time
For the new heights mock draft our first mock draft
And with the nfl draft coming up you know what it's going to be about that's right
Easter candy
Hey, man
Well, Easter Sunday coming up. All right
Uh, we had uh, we had so many pitches to us on youtube
User dandy swans and prods said I love the podcast. I love watching this every week
Uh, also this is a request for the podcast. Can you give us a mock draft of easter candy since easter is coming up?
I thought all easter candy was just chocolate. Yeah, I mean, I'm not gonna lie. I don't know easter candies that well
I just know candy. I know a couple
But here's we're gonna do four rounds with mochtra and she asks us if we can do a mock draft on easter candy
Well app so fucking lutely
Can we that's right? Here's how we're gonna do this. We're each gonna get four picks
Of easter candies and we're gonna try and assemble our best teams who's gonna get first pick my paper scissors
All right, we're doing even the nods. All right, are you evens or my rods? You get the pick pick even rods
But we're gonna do on the count of the i'm gonna spell this out on the count of three
We're gonna go one two three
Damn it. All right. I'll get first pick first pick of the mock draft easter candy. I'm going cabary eggs. I mean
Easiest pick in the book. Yeah, you can have a who's who's cadbury picks?
Like what is that equivalent to in a NFL draft?
Would you who'd you just take? I I just I've never heard a fuck. I just took the tom Brady of easter candy
You just what is it the one with the caramel in them?
Yes, some of them have caramel some of them
So you just took the entire one if you think that's the tom Brady then you must have never had
Easter skittles they make Easter skittles. Yes. Do they taste any different than regular skittles? Yes
What do they taste like? I think they're just colored different. I don't I bet there's zero taste difference
I know what you're saying because I've seen the different colored ones there. They do a lot of pastel coloring. Yeah pastel
Yeah, I think this is a weak pick
Yep. Well
Until you play them. All right, and he fucking dogs you

To get to the conversation with head coach Shane Steichen
He's the head coach for the indian apples coats and former offensive coordinator for the philadelphia eagles
He helped take uh jaylin hurts gain to the next level by calling outstanding plays and coaching him up
And now he is gonna have a high pick in indian apples. I'll be curious to see who he picks
Anyways, this is the conversation. Hope you enjoy by the way. That's brought to you brought to you by accelerator energy drinks
Yee-hee
Gotta get that tag in there. This is island guava, which you what you living on
Kiwi lime. Why haven't had that one? What does it taste like?
Kiwi in line
Yes
Advertising matches up with the taste love when drinks do that taste all righty. Here's the interview with shane second
Well, our next guest is a former unlv quarterback
He coached just in herbert into an ap
Rookie of the year award
He then came to philadelphia and was the offensive coordinator this past season for one of the number one offenses in the nfl
As well as the runner up mvp in jaylin hurts and super appearance can't forget that which was super victory
But super appearance will take it and now you know him as the head coach of the indian apples cults shane stiking. Hey, thanks for having me kelz
Of course, thanks for going on coach
Um, I guess we'll start with with the eagles time first when we were together. How did you come to philadelphia?
Obviously nixi reanna gets hired as head coach
Uh brings you in pretty much. I mean, were you guys there the same day like first days like I feel like very similar
I think I came the day after him. I think he got a the job on a thursday
He showed up on friday and I showed up on saturday
But my time with nik obviously I worked with him at the chargers
And then he went to any napa-less and then from there obviously got the job in philley
And then that year our head coach got let go so there's a little space in there and then nik got the job called me up
Said you want to come to philadelphia? I said let's ride and we went
So how did I guess you knew right away? You didn't even need to look at the roster
Now I think this this this business is all about relationships
You know, I truly believe that and I had a great relationship with nik and what he stood for and the type of coach he is
Um and was when I was with him and then obviously it it's shine when I was with him this past two years
When you were hired you get to philadelphia what immediately are you trying to do you're looking at
Obviously players that we have you're coming up with you're you're meeting the new guys you're working with
What's the first steps? I guess I think that is is meeting the people in the building meeting the players and shoot
You're speaking of that I use this story a lot and the first time I met you was it was the covid year and we were going
I was going up to the trailer and I remember you walking up he said hey coach welcome to philley
And i'm like hey kels how's it going? I was like, hey, let's get together and talk and uh, I remember we did the little covid tests
And you came up to my office and we were in there for about two and a half hours
You know, we talked about, you know family, you know
We really got to know you and then we started talking protections and we were going all over the place and I said gosh
Dang this is a great dude
And then I remember after that I walking down and you were in the cafeteria
And I think you were sitting with one of the janitors and one of the cut and I said, you know what?
I see why this guy's played for so many years. Just a great human being that you are. Yeah, yeah, I'm I appreciate that first of all
But um I feel like that's one thing that stands out is man
You just love talking ball even from the moment that we met each other that first day to like random text messages
You'll give me throughout the week you'll be like nine o'clock at night
I'm sitting down with my baby girl next to me and like hey
What do you think about this protection of this play that we got in this week?
Like do you just love football that much? Are you just wired where you're just always on and thinking about it?
Yeah, I know I mean that's part of it. I think uh
Getting into football, you know
When I was in college and learning from a high school coach and then when I got into college
I was around some good coaches in college as well
And then when I got into the NFL just the preparation that it takes to be successful in this league
Like the the guys that I was around the Philip Rivers of the world
Antonio gates early on in my career as a coach seeing how they do it
Oh my gosh
That's how it's done and then the preparation that went into it
And then being fortunate to be around a guy like Philip Rivers and the way he prepared for games
Oh my gosh, that's why these guys are successful like you want to be a successful coach
You got to have that preparation and mindset going into it
So just being around it and seeing all of it all the time and I'm like gosh
I think that's what it is and just just love the love the exes and o's in the scheme part of it
You brought up Philip. I guess you coached Herbert his rookie year
Then go to jail and how did you make that transition happen?
Because I mean you're talking about guys with very different skill sets
Right
Much different offenses. Yeah, still successful
Yeah, I think the big thing is is really getting to know these guys like they're personalities and how you know
What makes them tick and how they function on the field?
Obviously you see the physical seal scouts when you're watching them come out of college
But then you're really getting around them get to know them know what they like
And then trying to put them in six, you know positions to be successful
You know, I think that's the biggest thing is don't be stuck in your way as a coach
Right. What do our guys do?
Well and put them in position to succeed and then on top of that the quarterbacks that are really successful
Right, they'll have something in common right they're obsessed with their craft. They are they work
Yeah, and then they're like hey, what's the secret to success? It's hard work. Yeah, there ain't nothing else
But that's that is that what it is it's hard work the guys that work hard
Obviously you have to be talented but putting in their effort having your retuned day in and day out
That's what made guys successful. What was your time like in Philadelphia?
Like looking back
Like what did you what did you learn? What did you what do you take away from Philadelphia?
You know what just really just that was an incredible organization
You know the time they are spending with you and the players and the staff and that city
And the passion they have for the game. Yeah, I mean it was second to none. I remember I so I had been a coach
Obviously that was my I think the my 11th year and then I fell when I came there two years ago
Yeah, and it was the first time I've been in Philly because when we were when I was in the AFC West
Philadelphia came out to San Diego. Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean?
And then in 2013 I went to Cleveland. So we missed Philly
So like the first time I ever was in that stadium was as a coach
Yeah, and I remember we went out to the fan fest
It was like the first thing and I walked out there and there might have been I don't know 40 or 50,000 for fan fest
I was like it's different out here. Yeah, yeah, they're into it. Yeah, they're into it
So
It was awesome. You're hired almost immediately as
the offensive coordinator when she when uh
Nick is the job. What as when you get the head coaching job
How you you're on the other side of that right? Yeah, trying to build the staff right away. Right. What is what does that process look like?
Yeah, I mean, it's a thorough process, you know, obviously when you're putting the staff together
You want to make sure you get the right people in place, you know, and not you obviously you want really good coaches
But you also want the best fit so having a process going through that interviewing guys having a thorough detailed plan of how you want
To look how your interview process is going to go and then fit in those pieces
So still working through that right now got a few spots to fill but like where it's at
Do you get
Informed as the oc that the eagles are potentially trading for like an agie brown or like some of these moves that happen
And is that something like we're like, yeah, we we'll find a way to utilize a guy like that
How do you fit the scheme to make this guy good? Yeah, I think when you uh, when really good players come available
You make that work. Yeah, you know, and he's obviously a really good one and we made that one
And he made it go too and a credit to you guys like I mean, I would say that like people want to say like it's all about you guys
It really is like you guys make that thing go every day
Well, you're very humble because obviously I mean it's always a two-way street players are important
But the positions we get put in and we got put in some really good positions
And um as often as a coordinator and really as a play caller
You're you have to be a great communicator, right? You have to be knowledgeable of everything that's going in the game plan
Um because everybody's kind of putting in their little piece, right?
And like the players are being coached it by another person in their meetings. Yeah, I think that you were
Really really good
Obviously calling the plays but like I just talked about you would talk to me
And I'm assuming you did that with other guys and you made sure that everything was on the same page and you everything was communicated
I guess what does that process look like throughout the week the game plan?
Yeah, so obviously the game plan is really putting the place monday night and then tuesday
And then obviously you guys coming on wednesday
And that's where the you know we can install the offense and go through it
And I think the the great thing about it is that it's about everybody
You know what I mean? It's not just about one coach or one player
It's about everyone doing it together and building this thing the work that goes into it weekend and week out to get it ready
Um is is is a huge task for all of us as we know building up to that one game
Um, but you know those wednesdays those thursdays those fridays those saturday's just
The conversations, you know with you obviously shooting text out at night. Obviously as the offense coordinator
You're not coaching a position, you know, I mean it's been three and a half four years since I've had your own room
And obviously when you have your own room, you know, you create that really tight knit bond with your position group
Um, so as the offense coordinator, you got to be intentional about creating those relationships with players
I'm going to airway, but also the communication part of it is huge of like hey, here's what we're thinking on this
The communication on the sidelines throughout the game the communication with jaylin throughout the week
Hey, let's get together and talk about these plays here. I've hey we hit this play
We're going to go back on the ball and run this so you know, it's coming so the communication is like clockwork
So there's no second guessing like what would that play just came in? What were there that come from?
I know like we knew it was coming and everyone's on the same page
So I think that's the beauty of it. Do you have like a
Like a welcome to the nfl moment when we first got into coaching we can take you back like oh my gosh
I got a great one you guys will love this um
So I was a defensive assistant. Okay, and it really I guess it welcomed to the nfl moment
I get I was a defensive assistant
Yeah, do you know just kind of quality control doing work and then so I went out of practice
It was training camp and I was playing you know quarterback
I was like the dummy quarterback to like for for the pass rush there wasn't a pop up
I was it and uh, I forgot the guy's name, but we had this huge defensive lineman. I mean he was a massive six seven
Three 65 one of the biggest human beings I've ever seen yeah
And he was an offensive lineman switch the defensive lineman
Okay
And uh, you know and he rushes the passer and all the son um back there and I'm staying in there
And I think the pass rush is over
Right and he turns the plant to run back and steps on my toe and
Not good. It's not good. And I'm you know, I'm using some bad words back there
And I mean it was it was just the like a funny moment
We were in the staff room and guys were dying and I actually still have it to this day
So that was fun. Did you break it or was it? No, I didn't it was it was a hard spring
Hard spring hard spring. Yeah, what was it like calling plays in philadelphia?
How is it different from other from the charters? How like I don't know
I think the biggest thing is and I've guys heard you say this before but like
We had we had good players. Yeah, and uh, you know, obviously how we did a hell of a job putting that roster together
And when you got good players, uh, those things go pretty well and uh, that that part was fun
But how does calling play? I don't know. I've heard like I feel like
Kind of really
Well, like I remember there was a story that came out
Maybe last year where cliff said that he like gave kind of a merry like play calling
For like the second half just to like show him a this ain't yeah as easy as maybe it looks like
Um, what goes into all of these like I see the the cool
She just stuff like that and it's hard even just looking at like I don't know what i'm looking at right now
I'm trying to find where the runs at on this thing. I'm
There's a lot on that thing. So what obviously you go in with a certain amount of plays you want to get too early
Right, but then there's like a rhythm to it like yeah
I think you know you got it as a play color and I learned this from norve turner
Um, who's one of my biggest mentors is
You know, he had an unbelievable feel for calling the game
You know and just like knowing when to take your shots. No one when to be aggressive
Hey, shoot. We got this. Hey, we can run it here burn some clock
Just feeling the flow of the game
You know what i mean?
Because like you got your call sheet and you got your first and 10 calls you got your pen 10
You're second one to two you're you know second seven plus whatever it may be
Yeah, but like just knowing within the flow. It's like oh, cool
You know that is my second and seven plus color here, but I'm not feeling that right now
Yeah, like I think they're gonna play this
Because this is like this and I like this and i'm calling it right now
You know
Yeah, so I think just having a feel for the game as much you can does it go perfect every time?
No, we know that and nothing's perfect
But just trying to have a feel and a flow for the game
Said north turner who were the guys that you think of that have been like the most influential
As you are now. I mean obviously he's he's number one in my book
You know, obviously he gave me a chance in 2011 to get in the league and then just being around him
Um, you're just phenomenal football mind
Uh just the way the passing game
He created the vertical passing game and taking those big shots and creating those explosive plays and I always thought that like
And once you see those big explosive plays start to happen
You're like that's how you score points. You've got to create those explosives
Like how do we create those and how do you scheme up guys to go down and fail?
Now when you got the one-on-one match ups like we did this past season like it was nice with smitty and aj and dallas and ques and
Zach like all those guys the vertical threats, uh, which was awesome. What what have you taken from nick?
You know what I said this when I first got hired just the accountability part of it
You know, I thought he did a really really good job. The whole guys accountable
Yeah, are you gonna are you gonna take like some of the things we did like team meeting wise with you over to indy and like
Did nor do they because nick is one of the few coaches that i've been with where we actually go through like plays in a team meeting
Like I don't know why we didn't do that before it just it makes so much sense now
Yeah, feel like because you it's not about calling guys out. It's just like it's like it's an opportunity to educate everybody
At the same time all it is trying to get better
Right, you know what I mean?
And if guys know we're on same page is the accountability part is like hey
Shoo when you do it wrong like everyone needs to know it needs to be this way and when you do it right you get praised for it
And I think that's the same thing as a coach like I mess up. I'm gonna call myself out
Right, you know what I mean? I'm gonna do that and the same thing with everybody else
But we just holding people to a high standard
I think that's where teams really start to take off because when coaches hold each other accountable and players and the players are holding each other accountable
Shoot like even you I remember there's one time in a walk through you're like hey, we need that again
I was watching the tight end like we didn't block that right. Yeah, I'm like get it again
Like that's where that's when it becomes special. Yeah, absolutely
How has it been immediately transitioning to being a head coach in a new organization?
Like how do one of your last two weeks look like?
Shoot a lot of it is putting the staff together. You know what I mean? Obviously meeting people around the building
Uh with the organization meeting different people
Flying guys in for interviews flying guys out zoom in interviews
I mean it's been a lot of that and then obviously, you know getting to know the players too, you know reaching out to the players finding that block to call each player
Um reached out to most of them
Some of those guys are in the building
But really that's the process right now and then once you finish that phase then it's on to the you know
The draft and getting ready for that and then getting the football part of it done
Once the staff's hired now you got to put it in the offense
Well, shoot who the players that we got to you know surround that offense where yeah
You got your terminology and your scheme but like at the end of the day
That's gonna morph into you know who's playing for you and what we're trying to get done
Yeah, is there anything
That is drastically different from like a head coaching perspective as opposed to a court because obviously
Coordinate or you're in charge of the offense and you're putting all that together
Like is it just on a bigger scale now? Yeah, I think yeah
I think so like obviously you got 26 guys on offense that you're kind of in charge of and leading that pack
But then now i'm looking at it is hey this is a chance to lead another 26 plus men
Right, you know what I mean?
Obviously it comes that it's a tall task, you know what I mean?
You got to be ready to go but every day you got to be intentional
What you're trying to get done so guys are on the same page like I never want to go into a meeting unprepared
Like no freaking way because if we're unprepared how do we expect you guys to be prepared sure, you know
So I think we got to be all over that uh with our p's and q's
When it comes to that one of the things being a head coach really like all right now my job is now this
This and this and I have to get that done. Yeah, I think the situational part of it is huge
Obviously, well, you know, we went like even the filly we go through that every week
You know what I mean? I mean you watch that
So you remember those situational Saturdays you're like you said I mean you said actually tell them you'd be like
Hey, I'm like don't talk to me right now. I gotta be locked in nick is gonna ask me a question any second
I'm gonna have to have the play ready to go
and
And he would do that to players too and I I really do think that that situation will end up making the difference
Like that's the head coach's job though for the most. I mean, yeah, I'm thinking about as your office a coordinator
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, exactly and I think again, it's everybody right you got everyone's got to be on the same page
It's not just one guy like you you better need help. That's why this game so fun
Right, it's a team sport right coaches players trainers front office
Like everyone being on the same page and I think the more help you have around you, you know
I mean I think that's where it really grows and you trust you know trust people that are around you
How about that fishing trip we went on dude?
So, yeah, we went fly fishing up in the pokanhose
Jeff's style and who else is on that trip but some of some of the some of the
Yeah, um, which by the way finding waders to fit jorda melada not the easiest
He went he went somewhere and got something nice though, but they were they were tied on him
Yeah, and uh man that was a blast what have you been have you been fishing since then now?
I need to get back. I need to get back bad. That was awesome
Because you could I could tell you like enjoy fishing. Oh, I love it. What but as a coach you just yeah
I don't really don't have the time summers, you know when we get some time off in the summers
I'll try to hit a stream up. Yeah, but should I remember when we were down there
You were down on that side of the creek down there and I'm like hey gels, what's up in your playstation?
I was like I had my little spin around
I'm like they probably haven't seen a lure in this thing. It's my result. So by results. She's gonna find an edge
And then it got tangled up though, and then I'm like well this is done there was all that like was that Japanese not weed or something?
It was not it was a great setup. It was it was beautiful back there. It was awesome
Poconos are kind of like well hidden gem up there then and uh was that the cat skills that whole like little
mountain area, but I guess we're getting into stories. Do you want to tell everybody uh your prices right story? Yeah, sure
Um, so back when I was in high school, I was graduating high school about 10 of my buddies
My buddy said hey, let's go down to the prices right so we lived up in northern california like hey

You line up you get there early in the morning outside the studio and they led a certain amount of people and so as you're going through the line
You know they grab about five at a time and they basically say tell me your story you got 30 seconds
So does everybody going into the prices right get that interaction?
Yeah, you get that interaction
So there's like a you know like a judge is right there's about four judges and they hey said just tell me your story

This guy bid 425 what's your bid and i'm like shit i'm you know 18 years old kid i'm like
426 yeah and the guy next to me is like 427 i'm like retail price 450 yeah and that guy goes up there
and wins but i never made it onto the contestants on the on the stage i was just on the contestants
row but i got some luggage and i got a bakers rack for being a contestant on the show it was it was a
fun experience do you still have the luggage my mom does are you kidding me it's a red Beverly
Hills luggage bag and it's ripped but she still used that to keep that 20 years 20 years 20 years
plus how about that Beverly Hills how about that it's just Beverly maybe i don't know
don't quote me on that
we're at the combine yeah do you guys are doing formal interviews with players on how does the
position dictate what you're gonna have obviously football wise it does but like are you looking
for specific traits and specific positions like yeah how does that all go into it yeah i think
you know we have a plan of when you have you know these formal interviews um when you talk to
these guys just kind of finding out their football IQ right talking through fundamentals with um
yeah you know asking them a questions what they're thinking on this how did you guys call this
whatever it may be i mean each team might do it differently but just get a feel for them in those
meetings and and they're not like super long formals um they're not long they're quick so
it's it's speed it's fast you know getting it getting there but then the other thing is too and i
the what i enjoy about the combine is really getting to go see these guys in person like see
their in their movement skills on the field you know what i mean is many times as you can see these
guys in person it helps the evaluation process in my opinion interesting seeing them here boom
going to their pro days whatever it may be as many times as you can see these guys in person to
get a feel for them because obviously you know it's it's a big deal to get drafted and you want to
make sure you get it right what are you looking for on the field i don't have to get in a specific
position i know this is super generic but like are you i don't are you looking at demeanor are you
looking at physical attributes like i think it's all above i think it's all the above and just really
like their movement skills depending on position you know what i mean like fundamentals like what's
the quarterback arm motion look like gosh i saw it on film but oh it looks a little different in
person yeah you know what i mean or what's their footwork like how fast is this how's the receiver
coming out of a break how's the lineman movement how's he pulling oh that looks like kelsey right
there sign him up you said arm movement quarterback but you like i feel a river is like known for having
like yeah one of the most uh like what's that not not natural throwing motions or on orthodox
there we go um like what is the number one trait in a quarterback that you want to see well
besides like relentless like yeah all those different things i mean accuracy is huge to me yeah like
you know at the end of the day i think you got to be able to throw it accurately right on time
anticipate with rhythm right and and and that comes from repetition too you know what i mean but
you can see it on tape like i think that the guys that have a great feel for the game yeah right
you coach boom boom boom boom but the guys that have a natural feel like oh my gosh boom boom i
threw it there like shoot jaylin had one in practice a couple of weeks ago or whatever it was you know
what i mean and yeah you know navante was kind of cheating inside and his read was starting over
there and he caught it pop and just threw it to the slot and he was like well you know you know he
was open i'm like heck yeah like that was me so ready yeah like heck yeah like like that stuff to me
is like when that starts going it's like oh yeah he's got to get there's either something special
there was was this the easiest game plan you're sure you heard it you've ever been apart yeah he
got to the point there whatever it was i what i mean yeah and a lot of stuff it still might have
been week eight or nine they were like we're at a quarterback's knee you want to do it different
this week yeah we can or but this guy here this guy there here cool and then we roll and then boom
the one audible off of it in case everybody's down in there yeah no question obviously you can
create some big plays off that yeah you know it was fun the we talked about this with Nick with
the Fletcher Cox why did the Fletcher Cox whenever you get called you know what it should have i'll
take full responsibility for that Fletch um i don't know man the first time we ran it he
like hoisted jailing up in the air and walk through before he even had the ball like i
was like wait till the ball is in his hands that's right that's right you said something so that's
why that call i said Kelsey doesn't like it where i'm not calling it oh my gosh that is one good thing
you know like that's a good play calling tip like if the player doesn't like it we probably
shouldn't be doing it there there's no doubt about it if they have they have they have
some uncomfortable they got to be comfortable they got to be comfortable at anything about what
what i like what the coaches like if quarterback don't like it or you don't like it don't call it
yeah because then if it doesn't work it's like i told you yeah right you don't want that right
have you talked to the old line in indy yeah i've talked it reached out to most of those guys um
ryan kelly ryan kelly quinton yeah all those i mean just guys that are you know really good football
players tough physical you know what i mean um it's really exciting to work with those guys
in some ways i really feel because i know those guys are good players yeah and like when you came in
uh we off of our four and eleven season yeah we had given up
50 some sacks i think the year before with karsen quarterback right and i feel like when
things are going bad like i mean you're getting defenses are getting a lot of opportunities to
rush to pay like you can get put into some hard positions and offensive line and i don't know
man i i i think those guys are really really good and i'm like looking forward to seeing what you
guys do over there i got a lot of respect for a lot of those guys like what do you think like
looking at like i don't know they had that offensive line like with quinton and ryan i know
tackle wise they've had some pieces coming in i think just the physical mentality you need up front
like what you guys well we did in filley with you guys i mean it was there was a there was a
presence about you guys that when you guys stepped on the field it was like hey here we freaking go
like you ain't stopping us and i think we have that here with those you know those two guys and the
rest of those guys just that mentality of like hey we're coming after you and we're not going to
be stopping it's going to be relentless like when we show up run or pass like we're putting hands
on and here we come and that's the mindset and the mentality of an offensive line and you've
been living it you're living proof of it but just to have those guys and have that mindset like here
we come every single day yeah do you have anything you want to touch on from i know you're not going
to you're going to you're going to keep playing or man great question um i think i want to it's
fun the super bowl i i watched i've watched about 38 plays of it i haven't watched it i watched it
right before my press conference i was like i'm turning this thing on i watched about 38 plays and
then i stopped yeah i'm watched there's a couple plays it was i don't know man we put up a lot of
points yeah credit to um yeah it's the way it works sometimes you know uh still really really proud
of the the guys i mean played hard you know did a lot of good things just wasn't quite enough yeah
yeah it's one of those games where i feel like whoever had the ball last was gonna that's right
yeah it was we talked about situational ball we're talking about like that yeah jere
jett mckinnon to go down and not score on that one like you know smart right that's big uh right
then for sure really smart pat my home is good yeah it's back and forth so it was a back and forth
battle did you look at pat coming out oh yeah i wouldn't work them out at texas tech did you like
them loved them how do you find the next i mean that's such a heart i mean yeah they don't come by
very often how you find it everyone knew how to do that come on come on sign them up whatever you
do get him and jaylin played unbelievable jaylin that might have been one of his best games of the
season yeah i'm so excited i'm so so so excited for him and his future and what he's gonna bring to
this league yeah it's gonna be special i know he's gonna have a long career uh just the way he is
with you guys in the locker room the person he is uh the way he prepared like that's what you want
that's what you want when you got guys like that you're gonna have success and i know he's gonna
do some really good things in fillet for the next probably decade plus there yeah well certainly
look forward to watching it what about pre-game routine did you have you had one the past so
my pre-game routine has changed has been the league i was first when i was young i used to go out
early with the oline coach yeah i did some band stuff and everything and as i've gotten older i feel
like um i don't want to do as much before like i'm like listen i'm just gonna go out there do the
season cues use that in between time to kind of warm up right there but i i don't i'm gonna do
more stuff in the locker room just kind of like soft tissue things and then go out on the feeling
of warmed up my pre-game routine i'm not like too strict with it because then i feel like if you
don't do one thing it's like in your head yeah yeah it's like oh fuck i forgot to do this like that's
why i'm screwing up this up and it's like no okay let's not yeah take all but i do think it's
important to have like somewhat of a routine like like have like a little bit of a schedule one of
the things honestly that like and i probably shouldn't say this but one of the things that like
gives me a schedule is like everything i take before the game like i'm like okay and hour it before i
go out for warm ups i'm gonna take a beet juice 45 minutes before that i'm taking my entire
flamatory 30 minutes before that i'm taking a pre-workout drink 15 minutes before that we
started doing this this past year me and laying johnson take alcacellter i don't know what that
does we kind of lay was like i'm doing i'll do it with you my voice is doing it we're doing it let's go
and then um and then i go out on the field and like that ends up being like my i end up being like
okay once i take the beet juice i'm gonna start warming up my my body i'm gonna do a band thing
i'm gonna start getting my hips loose after i take 45 minutes i take the inflamatory i'm going to put
my pants on i'm going to get ready to go for that after i take my 30 minute deal i put my shoulder
pants on cleats on getting taped 15 minutes in taking my alcacellter doing like a more thorough
warm up and then i'm hitting the field and then when i come back in i usually go over like the first
plays yeah we're trying to get to right and i'm trying to rep like okay these are all first and
second now plays for the most part i'm thinking okay these are the different looks that we've
wrapped during the week this is what we could get this is a call versus this this is what we're
going for that i'm trying to make sure that i'm like really prepared for anything that happens
um it's been a great routine yeah it's worked it definitely has yeah that's pretty much it that's
that's kind of the gist of it and then i always whenever i go on the field for some reason
i usually even still know it but i always go up the style i'm doing all right let me see the
the call sheet and then i look at it again i've seen you do that before yeah i might have asked you
a couple times yeah always time with them like hear this but hey if we hit this i'm gonna call
this i know it's not right here but that's actually really nice because then i know even more outside
of the call sheet by okay there we go we're ready to get there yeah i used to listen like christmas
music before the game what's your favorite christmas song my favorite christmas song is
nacking call christmas song i think if i'm going like more creative there's this like uh fairy tale
in new york i think is what it's called but it's like a british kind of christmas song i don't know
why i like it i just really like it um but i have since not listened to christmas music as i don't
know i did that for like a couple years and i felt like it was just fun and then i stopped doing that
and then i made a christmas album and then i started listening to that phenomenal what did you think
what you saw that three offense allowed me to christmas film i thought it was i was like i
cannot wait for this thing to come out and then when jordan melottis hits those times it's a whole
gets a game changer yeah you were strong too though i i'm playing with strong i appreciate you
giving like giving me credit but let's be honest jordan was yeah it's it's fair he needs he needs
to you needs to record his own album for sure yeah he's he's only playing left tackle to launch
a singing career he's a good left tackle and he's keep playing you can do both he can do both
season off season off season if i can do a podcast he can release some albums while he's playing
football true do you have a pre pre-energy uh yeah so in the mornings depending on the game
like i would i would hit like a peloton workout and then from there i go into my office at the house
and then that's where i really start making going through that call sheet and really marking it up
you know like i you know throughout the week i'm processing it but that morning of so it's fresh
on my brain i'm starting to mark that thing up like yes yes yes yes yes yes yes here's a good
shot for this yeah here's this and so i'll go through that process at my house and that'll take you
know anywhere from a half hour to an hour in the morning and then i get to the stadium
and then myself and a couple other coaches will go on with Nick talk through the situations
hey we're here boom we're good here if we get this bang just all those little different
situations that could come up now the work's been done throughout the week but again it's just
that it's just reminders like bang bang bang what are we thinking here on short yardage good bang
if we hit this we're gonna call this here boom boom boom we're just so it's always clicking so
there's no second guessing you know what i mean so everyone's on the same page and i think
that is part of a huge part of the you know six successful teams is everyone being on the same
page so there's no surprises like where the heck did that come from right you know what i mean
yeah it's like boom yeah we knew that that was it we just went over this we just went over yeah
and then if anything does come up in those meetings it's like hey hit the players with this
that's why sometimes i come around to you guys like hey be ready for this in this situation like
boom we hit this i'm gonna call this right you know and just so everyone's on the same page and i
feel like whenever at least we do like the little or like the little recap after we've installed
everything and we know what's in one or two things also comes up during that conversation right like
i feel like it never really stops no even in the game obviously you're at a whole not a level you're
making game adjustments yeah i think that's big the in-game adjustments obviously having a veteran
like you you know style line coach and all the help from every other coach that's on our staff
just those quick in-game adjustments you know they're huge you're huge like how they play in the
front what's the technique and you're like hey gosh dang this guy's doing this like hey we can hit
this i remember one game you can't remember me and i'm not gonna say the play name on here you're
like hey just call this you know like done that is like that was one of the questions on one of the
episodes that we've done before was like uh our in-game adjustments real our halftime adjustments
real and i feel like halftime adjustments do happen but like yeah you don't have time to wait
to halftime like we're making adjustments to drive after drive there's no question yeah i think
really the halftime thing is hey here's what we're thinking coming out to start this hey they've done
this we've already seen that we've already made that adjustment be ready for something in the third
quarter if they pop something new on us that's one of the most fun things about playing i love the
the chess match and trying to figure out what are we doing what what what's what are they how are
they attacking us what are they trying to do to defend us and when you're in that rhythm it's yeah
it's pretty awesome there's no question and you guys made a go baby yeah well you too you guys made a
go coach can't thank you enough for coming on um i can't wait to see what you're doing in Indianapolis
yeah i appreciate you hey congratulations you want to come coach
welcome to the new heights post interview interview brought to you by accelerator active energy
drink so Jason how do you how do you think that conversation went don't blame that interview on
chain i don't care who you interview a high school coach a college coach the head coach for the
Indianapolis Colts we have to keep looking down at your iPad and yeah you don't have follow-ups
that was a disgraceful performance i don't i don't know who i think i am when i do something
like this what do you think about your partnership with a shock a shock accelerator we're talking
about a shot this delicious active energy drink with natural caffeine zero sugars beautiful cans
i'm out here trying to win interview and you're asking me a question about a shot
you can find accelerator at target alberts and safe way quick drip and hivy
so that's the conversation we changed that you know how about that how about that eagles fans
is that was your OC there it was and uh trapez do you think you could pick on chain stacking out of
okay i will skip it again i'm sorry i'm just the game not knowing anybody can we just move on i'm
i know you know you know shane second i know you know shane second all right he's the best so uh anyways
anyway shane second talked about uh going on the prices right uh it's a big uh
accomplishment of his that's pretty cool i've always wanted to go on i thought i mean i would
want to do any game show to be honest with you but really any any game show i mean there are
game shows that'd be good at and there are game shows that'd be bad we were we've always been
big game show guys we love watching them um game show what is yeah what what game shows do you
be good at or which ones would you want to go on um i've always wanted to do family feud uh obviously
prices right and we're feud that be going for the whole family yeah i think we i think we we'd hold
our own yeah as long as rfayo was there rfayo was there yeah what else what other game shows um i
think family feud that was a big jeopardy guy yeah but he wasn't good i think you have a what
dad was not good he was so good he would he was not good what he just see him just wings and blue
cheese and just what is albert ainstein
my favorite game show to go on and i would dominate because i'm a full grown man
is uh led just to the indentible classic the classic game i was probably our favorite one growing up
back in guts guts was awesome i loved global guts more because i always like to put a competition
between continents in countries countries countries yeah i'm a big um international games
person good there is nothing less than i love when uh philadelphia sports win but there's nothing
more that gets me jazzed up than the usa kicking the shit out of some sweetest kids
it's a legend there was ever a legend we love it yeah it's a few i don't know why i went straight
to sweet end because you know we have the upper hand yeah well that's a good point what countries
would we struggle with a goal but think of the games that are in global guts um and the activities
that will require you to get to the top of the agro crag what countries would be tough for the
usa to compete i don't even know how to gauge this i mean um what are the best countries
uh one of the best countries athletically in general can no what is there on i don't remember
there being an ice event at global guts where they were skating yeah who i don't know i don't
think canadians would be good at global guts i'm not gonna lie so yeah my favorite games were uh
linds of the indentemble and guts yeah we just talked about those i mean those were those were our
two favorites growing up i think i don't know why i don't know if this is everybody in america but i
always thought that i was way better than the kids that were actually on there well that's because
you were those kids were you just never got the opportunity those kids were some producer son that
wanted to go on and he stopped these kids were handpicked they they were not the best of the best
yeah the kids on that game show were not based on merit they would do the little video intro i
yeah i'm not buying it there's much better that the usa is the offer for the global guts candy
from watching it and watching the kids that did get to compete i was always jealous and i always
wanted a piece of the ukita still who doesn't i i wanted so bad that i've scoured the internet
looking for agro crag and it is harder to find anything oh wait there's got to be i mean it's out
there but i can't find i've looked on ebay and amazon nickelodeon's got to have a few in the back right
they got to have a few in storage i don't want it from nickelodeon why don't you don't know you
want it from one of the kids that won one of legitimate it's not a real piece of agro crag if
somebody didn't compete and win for it it's just a prop it's a piece of plastic
that's true i would assume that's probably what all trophies are i want but when it's paid for
with blood sweat and tears that's the trophy i want you're firing me up right now let's do it
now listen let's get i want some agro crag and anybody has won one of these things yeah if you have
some agro crag i'm saying we got some free tickets to our show if you're an i-duber center i will gladly
hand over a ticket to our show agro crag for tickets yeah i mean i'll give a lot more than i
take it to be honest with you but that's a good starting point it's a new
92 percenters get the word out let's get some agro crag or or a background here or a pendant from
the crag or crag crag agro crag is that a real word is it just made up crag i think crag is
another word for like a uh a mountainous uh uh formation a steep or rugged cliff i think i
nailed that well let's go to school kids my real favorite show that was legends the in temple
that was your favorite one yeah of course that was your favorite t-shirt was my favorite team yeah
i was a big green monkeys guy green monkeys i like green monkeys red jaguars was okay blue
barracuda's blue barracuda's so that was mine that was awful i love that one they would always do
good in the first event because it was swimming based uh i thought it was uh who's purple purple
parrot purple parrots yeah silver snakes silver snakes sewn i don't gamble a lot the only thing i
ever really got big into gambling was legends in temple it was really just gambling for bragging
this is but this is like later on the picket team this is later on in life yeah back when in my
teenage years the young 20s there's a television show or television channel called nick gas which
would just play reruns of all these nickelodeon game shows and i would just watch linda the
hen temple with my friends and we would bet on the kids at one point though we would just be i
think that guy's gonna win and then i want you got the brag about it huh at what point immediately
all you got to see is the opening of like here's the silver snakes intro you can get a lot of
information in an intro these kids are looking all around there's no chance for paying attention
o-mac zero percent chance oh he's the last uh the second the second uh portion uh huh we have to
these o-mac's gonna tell you a story if that kid doesn't pay attention right from the get-go
there's no chances listen o-mac yeah it's a good point i don't know if i would have been good at
legends you would have been good because i'd have been in your name all right now
we would have complimented each other you and there's no chance one of those temple guards was
holding me back you complete i don't need i don't even need a pendant if anybody's got a pendant out
there from legends of the hidden temple we'd all we'd appreciate that too all righty that wraps up
