2:03They have added a running back into the mix and running back, which Kakes has been lobbying for, at least for the most recent days. I think I mentioned Rashad White a few months ago, like three or four months ago, as like a guy who would be a good fit, not like a war course back, not a guy who's going to have 15 to 17 carries per game, but a guy who fills a specific role for the team, and you look and see what he's done, at least receiving wise in Tampa. He was there for four seasons, 50 catches, 64 catches, 51 and 40. I mean, the guy has a skill set where he can catch balls out of the backfield. He's not a slouch either running the ball. Like he had, let me see, he had 129 attempts as a rookie, 272, 144 and 132, like his impact rushing the ball was reduced because of Bucky Irving's emergence over the past couple seasons in Tampa,

3:04but for what's reported to be a one year $2 million deal with a chance to make up to 4 million with incentives. I feel like this is a no brain or signing for the commanders, especially because we touched on how bare the pantry is as far as, like, free agent running backs are available. Yep. Rashad White seemed like the best fit for the commanders and they pounced on it and signed him to a one year deal. And Matt Cahill loves him because he went to Arizona State. Right. All right, Matt Cahill, you loved. Played with Jay. I think it's a great. I do it. I think it's a great signing. I was going to talk about it a couple days ago. Look, he doesn't miss games, right? No, he doesn't. Bill doesn't catch any balls. He's the perfect compliment to that. Yep. He's going to get you 500, 600 yards rushing. He's going to get you 500, 600 yards receiving. Yeah. And a couple of years ago, he had 1500 yards or nine touchdowns two years ago. I mean, that's, he's not, he's not going to be an all pro. No, he's a very professional. He's a younger. He's a younger Jeremy McNichols. He's what he is because McNichols is a free agent.

4:06He's 30, Rashad White's 27. Yep. There's, there's literally no risk designing him. It's one year for $2 million. Like, it just makes all the sense of the world for the commanders to sign this guy. He's fun to watch. He's, he's got a long stride. He's not explosive. He's not going to probably rip off AD yard runs or anything like that, but he's a very smooth runner. Yeah. Well, he's, he also scored high. And this is, this is an Adam Peters trait. He loves guys who score high on the relative, I think his relative athletic scale, the RAS. Rashad White was, he had big numbers in, in that test. See a California kid, you from California, Southern California? I believe so. I can't remember. Well, and just think about this. Let's just say love does slip to seven. Mm-hmm. Which, I'm not, I'm not saying it's going to happen, but if it did, would you pluck love in there? And now you have white as your number two and in the bill as your number three. I personally, we had no problem with it because. That's a, that's a nice room.

5:07If you go back to the Matthew Barry reports coming out of the combine, there were reports that the commanders wanted like a thumper, a guy who could carry them off 15-ish times per game. And that they considered bill more of a two or even like a three running back. Then that makes all this, it makes total sense if Jeremiah love is there because Rashad White's getting signed under one year deal. You don't have a ton of running backs in the room. I would have no problem picking Jeremiah love at seven, even with the white signing because you're going to carry at least three running backs anyway, right? Yeah. I love a superstar in the top 10 at number seven, but I think this is also assigning as insurance in case Jeremiah love doesn't make it to seven. At least they've got bill Rashad White and then they can fill in with either another guy in the draft or somebody else that comes loose in free agency. Now they still have a major hole at wide receiver two. Absolutely. Major hole there. Now maybe that's a draft pick. Maybe that's what we've been seeing. Peter's do work almost every day.

6:08I know. It was the shot. Maybe he plucks a jaw on Janice. All the people that were killing him on Monday. Yeah. After a couple of hours of free agency, I think you have to give Peter some props for what they've done so far. But I did put this up as our junkies poll of the day, sponsored by Surfside. Use the code Junks, J-U-N-K-S, at store.statesidevodka.com. You get 25% off. Select merchandise, T's hats hoodies and more. Use that code Junks at store.statesidevodka.com. And the question is, they add Rashad White via free agency. Should that mean you do not draft Jeremiah Love at the number seven pick? You can vote at Junks Radio or give us a call at 1-800-636-1067. So I do not think it should pre-empt them from drafting Jeremiah Love. Not at all. I think now they're in a position where they've filled a lot of holes defensively with OA and Chazon at the edge.

7:08They got Chanel's linebacker. They've added help in the secondary with Robertson. They've filled in a lot of gaps defensively. Now I think they're in position where it's draft the best player available. Certainly. Now there's certain positions I wouldn't draft. Best player available, that's not a quarterback. That's not a tight end. They're good with tackles right now. You don't need a tight end yet. They've added chig, but you want to draft a wide receiver? Okay, you want to draft running back? Okay, you want to draft sunny styles? That's okay. So I would not pre-empt drafting them, but I'm sure there are some people and you can call us 1-800-636-167 that would say, hey, they still need to go defense. They need to take kale downs or sunny styles or Reese. Whoever drops them at number seven, they need to star on defense. I don't think they have to do that. I don't think that's an illegitimate argument. I feel like because of the fact that they've really loaded up on defense during free agency, they can just be like, we'll take the best off fence

8:09of player that's available seven, whether that's Jeremiah Love or Carnell Tate at seven. Whoever drops those at seven, we're just gonna grab that guy. But who's the star on defense that they snagged? Not I didn't say a star. I didn't say a star. I know, but my point is, none of these guys that they got, they might all be productive. We hope that they're all productive, but it's not like they picked up a star on defense. And they might have a perspective. We don't know, they might have a perspective that we want somebody that's gonna be a star, right? A game changer defense and maybe kale downs that guy, maybe sunny styles that guy, maybe Reese's that guy. And I'm not saying that their Jags, because O.A. was ranked in the top 10 amongst free agents by most of the experts, right? But he could have a big year. He's not miles Garrett. No, but he's not like a parsist. He's not gonna have those type of numbers, but he could have a big year. I just want Peters to have conviction in his board. Like once number seven comes up, whoever's a top rank player on your board is, it's available. You just pick that guy, because you've spent millions of dollars and months along with your scouting staff

9:11to put your board together. Don't deviate from your board once you're on the, you've got 10 minutes on the clock. If your best player is, say it's sunny styles and he's there at seven, you take him. If your best player is car and L-Tate and he's available, you take him. Well, I don't care what position it is. Tate, love and downs. One of those guys is gonna be available at seven. Right. Right? Right. Bailier, Reese, me just don't know how it's gonna shake out. Yeah, you know, I'm just talking about the three that I would be targeting. Because I would be targeting one of those three players at seven. Right. If I had to rank them just based on what they need, in my opinion, I would go love, Tate downs in that order. But I could see them going downs if love and Tate are gone. Because you put downs in that secondary now with what you've added. Yeah, the cross. Yeah, it's a great young tandem. With those young corners. Man, you've got a much better secondary. Right. What are we gonna say?

10:12The best thing that could happen to Adam Peters in terms of your perception in the draft is if love is taken before seven. Because if he's there at seven, and now all of a sudden, if Peters views him as a luxury because the team was a good rushing team before love, and you made all of these, and you made this acquisition with white in the off season, and you trust merit your seventh round pick the year before, and you pass on them, and all of a sudden love turns into this game-changing hall of fame style running back, then everyone's gonna have this buyer's remorse if who you selected at seven isn't comparable to love. Right. They could happen reverse though, too, right? Sharing my love could end up being a dud, like, and it's just one year, but Ashen Gentie's first year, right? Yeah. And then Sonny Styles or Avel Rees are one of these other guys that they could potentially draft could end up being a stud. It could, but fans don't remember stuff like that. Not usually. Not usually. They usually remember, oh, we passed on this player,

11:15and he turned out to be an all pro. Everybody seems to give Ashen Gentia pass for his rookie season, but, and this I found interesting, I can't remember who we had on the show that was an NFL insider in the last couple of days, but they actually said that they ranked gentie a better prospect than Jeremiah Love. And I think previously I thought that most of the people thought Jeremiah Love was better than Ashen Gentie. Well, that gives me a little pause. I'm not gonna give. The Ashen Gentie was such a dud last year, and he's ranked higher than Jeremiah Love. He's such a bad situation. Like, I don't think the Raiders view gentie as a dud. They viewed last year as a dud because they had a horrible quarterback play, a terrible makeshift offensive line. Like, not a lot of like, Bowers was injured for at least half of the season. So like, they had a lot going against gentie in his rookie campaign. I would expect a much better year to out of him, even with a rookie quarterback.

12:17It's like what happened when they drafted Johnny Newton, except at much higher stakes. When they drafted Johnny Newton, it kind of came out of nowhere. That's who they felt to him. When the fan base was going, hey, Cooper DeGine is a dog, and this is a position of need. We really want him, like with draft Cooper, draft Cooper, and all of a sudden they bypass him. He turns into, he turns into a stud for Philly, and you have Johnny Newton. Yeah, maybe the best thing for Adam Peters is the Titans are in love with Jeremiah Love, because it's going to help Cam Ward's development to have a guy that can rush for 12 or 1300 yards as a rookie in that backfield, and they just feel like they can't pass him up. And that way he's not even available for Peters to deal with at seven. That's aggressive. Are you giving him 1300 yards as a rookie? I mean, if he plays 17 games, if he plays every game, I mean, that's, that's a sort of role he's going to step into. I would think how many guys are in for 1300 yards as pass these? Over 1300, I mean, that's not a crazy number.

13:19I don't think it just means you're carrying the ball a lot. It is going to be interesting to see where love goes. If he goes to Tennessee at four, right, then obviously you, you're, you might be looking at Caleb Downs. Yeah, your decision is easier. I mean, you might not even get Cornell Tate at that point. I've seen several mocks that have the giants who are picking at five, taking tape or possibly Cleveland, and that makes sense because the giants have neighbors coming off a major injury. They lost Wondale Robinson. They're, they're wide receiver room is a little bit sparse. So that makes a lot of sense. So you might have both of the top skill position guys gone by the time it comes to the commander's pick at seven. And if both of those guys are gone, I think we had, it was Logan Paulson yesterday who said, you can't have too many stud ed rushers. Right. That way, like David Bailey's there. Right, you take him or styles or whoever, or Reese, then you, you could pluck him. I still think they would go down there at seven just because they've addressed the edge with, with free agency. But I could see it.

14:20Yeah, the latest tankathon.com mock that I'm looking at has the commanders taking David Bailey at seven because this mock has love going at four. Where does it have Tate? Tate goes 11 in this draft. Yeah. I mean, he's all over the place. Yeah, I will come back. Take your calls 1-800-636-1067. We put this up as a poll the day. Right now, 81% voting no. Which means you can draft love. Right. But we want to hear from you. They add Rashad White. Do you like that move? From Tampa Bay, Cakes has been hyping them up for months really, catches balls out of the back field. He actually ran for 4.3 yards per carry last year so he's productive back. Should that preempt them from drafting Jeremiah Love, the running back from Notre Dame? I don't think it should. I think it opens up the possibility that you can do whatever you want at number seven.

18:27in free agency they had running back Roshad White, who played college football with Jay Daniels at Arizona State and has played four years for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I think it was by the way, the last guy they really could have signed in the free agency section of the off season because the only other options were guys like Joe Mixon, Austin Eccler, we knew he wasn't coming back. Najee Harris, they weren't a lot of options to choose from. So I think... Well, I'm kind of surprised considering that fact that Roshad White was still out there. That was a little surprising too. It's the market, I guess, kind of soft for running backs right now. He didn't get a lot of money obviously. If another team needed a number two RB, just to bring in some depth, a 27 year old guy who hasn't had any major injuries, I'm surprised he was out there. Who's, by the way, he's found the answer. He scored 25 touchdowns between rushing and receiving in 67 games.

19:28He's not Emmett Smith or Derek Henry touchdown wise, but for a guy whose role has been reduced, at least in the last few seasons, pretty productive. Last season, he runs for 572 yards, four touchdowns, average 4.3 yards per carry, also caught 40 balls for 218 yards. In his sophomore season, he ran for 990 yards. So the question is, you add Roshad White, you've got Jekori Kroski Merritt, aka Bill, who gave you 800 yards and a bunch of touchdowns last season. He touchdowns as a seventh rounder. It's great value. He still dropped Jeremiah Love if he's available at running back. Or do you think this move should preempt that and they should go defense where they've added some nice players, but I don't know that they've added a star. Do they need a game changer on the defensive side? Like a Caleb Downs or sunny styles or some of these other guys that you're hearing about. All right, let's go to the phones. 800, 636, 1067.

20:30Let's go to Solomon in Brandywine. Solomon, you're all with the Jucks. Good morning. What's up, fellas? Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Hey, you know, I hear everybody saying if it looks really neat, but this is neat, because it's got two backs. I've been signing White, you know what I'm saying? So you lost that load, you lost me, you lost your biggest fight. It's a neat. So why not go get a young game changer run about to add to Bill? Like, it's a no brainer. If he does, I mean, he's got to take it. So after you get those first. I don't think it's a no brainer. Maybe it's a no brainer for you, but let's say Jeremiah loves on the board and Caleb Downs is on the board and sunny styles on the board who he blew everybody away at the combine. You still say it's a no brainer? I'll let Solomon go. His phone was a little bit. Would you say that's a no brainer? I think if Jeremiah loves there, if he gets past both the Titans and the Giants

21:33who are sitting at four and five, I think it's gonna be a relatively easy decision for Adam Peters to turn in the card with Jeremiah loves name on it. Yeah. I mean, do you think it's no brainer than the scenario I gave you? And I know that they were with all three probably won't. So you got Caleb Downs, sunny styles, and Jeremiah Lover on the board. No brainer. I think just based on what they've added and free agency on the defensive side, you've got to add offense, you've got to score points and Jayden needs help. Jayden can't do it all by himself. So I would say based on that, I would say yes, it's a no brainer to take a stud RB, who's gonna carry the ball 20 times and you got Rashad White backing him up. That's a good combo. What if you have tape there? Now, we're no running back touches it more than a wide receiver. Okay, hold on. If love's gone and takes there? No, no. Love tape. I'm taking love first. Okay. And even. But then I would take, take second. Okay. Cause I, I ranked them love tape downs. I think downs is gonna be a stud and you put them back there with cross in those corners.

22:34Your secondary just got considerably better, but I just think you need offense. Yes. Unless they go out and get a Joanne Jennings or they sign, who's another free agent receiver that's still out there? Tyler Kill. I'm dead out there. Digs. They go out and, and, and fill that number two, but I still think you have to get younger and faster that position. And even if you do take Jeremiah love, it's seven. You're not spending any real money on your running back room as a group. And I know the number seven picks gonna make decent money. But with the rookie salary cap, it's less obviously than in years past. Yeah. They're not paying any money to bill or Rashad White. Like I know that running backs been devalued. Team just spending less on that position overall. But even if you draft love, you're not allocating a lot of your, your salary cap to RB. So I think that makes sense too. 1-800-636-1067. What do you make of this addition and should it affect what they do in the draft? Let's go to Gary in Upper Marborough.

23:36Gary, you're on with the juxtap. Good morning. Good morning, gentlemen. I give them an eight plus plus for this pick. Okay. I was talking about Rashad White two or three months ago. You're the home one. I think this is a guy who's proven over the years that he's gonna give you what he's giving you. And if he gives you what he gave, can't obey, that's gonna be a huge upside for Jayden. And I love the pick. I love the pick up there. As far as number seven is concerned, we have, I think, really players on offense. We have Jayden, we have the left tackle, and we have... Terri. Terri, okay. Guys, we don't have an elite player on defense. We don't. These guys are not elite players. We hope they turn it into elite players, but they have four or five seasons to show that they're elite. They're now. We need a guy on defense that is an elite player. We still have to stop the cowboys, okay?

24:38We play them twice a year. So who do you like? Do you like on, I mean, maybe you're not a draft expert, none of us are. But do you like anybody in particular, whether it's Caleb Downs or St. Stiles? I like Caleb Downs. You like Caleb. You're one of those guys. I don't care what the division is. Gotcha. The elite player is there, seven on defense. You have to take him. I think that's a legit argument. I think I would have a tough time if Jeremiah Love is there. And you have filled all these holes. I mean, you brought in two edge guys. You brought in a linebacker. You brought in safety. You brought in some depth with settle and Charles and Minihoo. I would have a tough time going defense, but if there's, I'll be honest. If it's a game-changing defensive player that would probably lift the defense tremendously, I would be tempted. If Love and Tate are both still there at seven,

25:40which I don't think is highly likely, but if they're both still there and Peter's drafts another defensive guy, I'm personally going to be disappointed. Because like you said, Jaden needs help. Jaden needs, he just needs more game-breaking offensive weapons. But wait a second, Caleb. A couple of weeks ago, you were saying that Jaden had this amazing offense two seasons ago and he didn't have all these super great weapons. I said, he elevated guys like Tiamu Brown and Oz. I wanted to elevate guys, but I also want the talent around him to already be elevated. You know what I mean? Like, well, they had a chick. And he kind of showed you last year, he needs more help. He's not going to be able to carry another team like he did his rookie. It can't just be Terry and a bunch of cast-offs. Like, it needs to be better than that. And like, Terry and Irts. Okay. I don't think...

26:40Erts was not dynamic, but Irts did move the chains. But he was a guy in the twilight of his career that came here and over-performed. He did. I understand that. But the argument that was being made a couple weeks ago is, especially to just get Jaden back healthy and the offense should be close to what it was during Cliff King's very first year where they were what, a top five offense in the league. Right. Average in close to 28 points per game. Yeah, but this is close to 29 points in. Whatever it was, exactly. I forgot. Over 28, I think. That was, I mean, McLaren had a bomb year. All right. He had a terrible year last year with the injury. All right. He could be it. I wouldn't expect him to put up those type of numbers anymore. Irts is gone. I, you know, Jaden had the injuries. I just think they need more help than they did that first year. Paul Leibry, I don't think it should just be Jaden trying to strap everybody on his back and carry them like he did as a rookie. I don't argue that they have brought in help since that rookie season because they brought in tonsil. Okay.

27:40They traded for tonsil. Okay. And they drafted calmly. I mean, I don't really count off offensive line guys. Yes. He's not my guys who can score touch that. He is okay. But if you took that team from the NFC championship run and you add tonsil, that's better. Right. Okay. You add chig. That's probably better. It's an upgrade. No doubt. Now, the second receiver is an issue. Right. That they need to figure out. I mean, it running back that year where they were so successful was Brian Robinson. Right. Yes, it was. I think you would say that right now Bill plus Rashad White is better than what they had during. But remember, they want a lot of close games. They got all the breaks. Okay. They threw the Hail Mary. A lot of things just went their way. I just think they need more help overall offensively. I'm not in time. You would have said I would vote no in this poll. If you vote at Junk's radio, I don't think it should pre-empt them from drafting Jeremiah Love. But if you think Kaleb Downs is Ed Reed or even Kaleb Downs is Troy Polymalu, then I would take him.

28:42You know what I mean? Those guys are game changers. I need to stay consistent. I said 10 minutes ago. I need Adam Peters to take the highest rank to guy in the board. So I get this hurts. Paying's my heart to say this. If tape, love, and downs are there. And he has downs way above the other two. He's got to stick to his guns and pick downs. Even though you would be disappointed. I'd be disappointed, but I'm just a goofy radio guy. But Bill Rashad White is not terrible. But what? Bill Rashad White is not a terrible start. Okay, but it's, you need to be better than that. Like those are, those are pieces. You need another talent layered in with those two. You can't just go into the season with Bill and Rashad White. Of course, you're gonna have a third, but two years ago when they had a prolific offense, it was Brian Robinson is your lead back. Yeah, but I'd like my third, why running back to be a stud, if possible. Of course, it seems like love is a stud. Yeah. And you plug him in with those other two

29:42that you love, you love your running back situation. Right now, it's going to be very interesting to see what they do. I don't love it. What if David Baley's Miles Garrett? Well, then you have to take him. I think it frees, I think it frees them up to take the best player on their board. Right, and that's hopefully what they do. Let's go to Robert in D.C. Robert, you're on the juxtaporning. Good morning. What is our way? Good. What's our Robert? My thing is, obviously, I'm in the minority here. The seven pick, we got one pick in the first 70 picks. We don't pick till 71 after that. We need to trade that one pick, that seven pick to get some more picks since we talking about all these needs, where we need stuff. But all these need more picks. I'm not anti your idea, Robert, but thank you for the call. I'm not going to, I'm not going to trade down too much. Like if I'm sitting at seven, if the Bengals who are at 10 are desperate

30:43to say, say sunny styles on the board and they need sunny styles, they love them. And I can still get a player I really love at 10 and I can somehow finagle a second round pick out of them for them to move up three spots. It might be a little too rich, but work with me here. Then I'm going to listen to any any and all trade offers if I'm out in Peters because I do need more picks. I need more than the six picks that I'm heading into the draft with. So, but I'm not moving down to like 15 or 18. I'll move down two or three spots. I'll listen to those offers, but I'm not moving down to like 20. I would probably agree. You know what I mean? Like I'm not moving. Especially if you're targeting a group of, let's say three or four players. And if you move down to 16, 17, 18, they could be going. But I know if I moved down to 10 or 11, I can still get my guy and get a second and maybe like a six round pick in return. I'm definitely going to listen to some of those offers. Yeah, I'm sure he will. All right, let's go to Jay in Indian head. Jay, you're all with the Junk's. Oh, good morning, Junkie. What's up, Jay?

31:44The last call is kind of kind of so my turn down a little bit. We got options. I'll just say that we can stay in and draft the BTA best players available. But I'm going to trade down not too far. And if you can still grab a take or somebody that slips a little bit down, actually may slip in the draft a little bit because it is neat. But hopefully he'll be healthy enough for if he did him that seven. But yeah, I'm always best player available. Or if you can trade down a couple of spacks, the field even more over there than we have. That's one of that. All right. Thanks, Jay. Why does everybody's phone suck this morning? Well, I mean, as much progression as our society is made in technology and the leaps have been amazing. The one, the one blind spot is cell phone technology. Yeah, just man. It's always just going to be terrible, apparently. Later in the program, we'll talk some caps hockey. They got to win yesterday.

32:442-1, believe Chicky had the game winner. He did, yeah. I think he leads defenseman in goals. Is that correct in the NHL double check? I think he's got 23. Yeah. But big win for the washi cap. Little says they hold on to slim hopes at getting into the playoffs. Got a huge one against Boston on Saturday. Brandy DeHame's going to join us at 9.45. So we will talk to Dewey at 9.45 about the caps. That's right here on the junkies. Get more out of every mile when you share the ride to work.

36:55Told you guys on Sunday night, I went to my, I went to the palm with my uncle. Okay. Yeah. Went to a nice day, Kyle. It's been a while, and I was dressed appropriately. All right. What was your fit? Oh, it's something like I'm wearing how jeans, I think I had a button down shirt. Okay. All right. That sounds like standard, like- Actually, it was really hot on Sunday, right? I think it was jeans in a polo shirt. Okay. It was a polo shirt. Like a typical- Standard polo shirt. They'd eat five degrees on Sunday. Yeah. So, I mean, I think I was dressed appropriately. That's classic mid 50 year old white dude outfit. Correct. Jeans in a like golf shirt or polo shirt. I've probably been wearing that same type of outfit since I was a teenager. So, it's not different, but now I am in my mid 50s. But roots, Chris apparently, is trying to enforce a dress code. Ah, okay. And what they're making some customers do is if you're wearing a baseball cap, okay?

37:56Out. You gotta go to the bar. Oh, okay. So, I guess they're maybe letting you have a drink at the bar or they're just not letting you be in there at all. You have a problem with that? You're a baseball cap guy. I do just because I always, oh, not always, but I wear a lot of hats out to restaurants. Oh, to restaurants you do. Yeah. But I mean, but they're mostly casual. I mean, if I went to roots, Chris, I probably wouldn't. Right. I wouldn't either. Like if I went to Altagio Brothers at MGM, I'm not wearing a hat in there. Now, a casino is a little bit different because- Just casual. Well, you're gonna see the complete range of different dress. You're gonna see guys in suits in the restaurants. You're gonna see guys in pajamas. The lower track suits with hats. You're gonna see guys with cargo shorts and a stain t-shirt. You're gonna get everything in a casino. But like a standalone like Ruth's Chris or Morton's

38:57or whatever, nice to upper to your restaurant, I wouldn't wear a hat in there. So Ruth's Chris also blacklists a long list of order of choices, including Jim Ware, Poletire, tank tops. Okay, that's fine. Closed with the fence of graphics or language, revealing outfits and exposed undergarments. Look, if you're running that restaurant, you have the right to tell people what they can and cannot wear. Like you're gonna go into Ruth's Chris wearing flip flops and a tank top and a bathing suit. I mean, get out of here, go to McDonald's. Where are we, who's that? And look, I like dressing casual. We all dress casual. All of us do. But has it gone too far in society? 1-800-636-1-677? I'm like, I grew up going to church. Back when we were young in the 70s and 80s, for the most part, people dressed up for church.

39:59And you still see that, like if you go on Christmas, or you go to an Easter mass, let's say, Easter's coming up, most people be dressed up. I went to Christmas mass this year. There was a guy in shorts. Oh, really? That's kind of weird. And you see more and more, like we used to kind of mock people that wore crocs in public. But you see more and more people just, they're wear their crocs all the time. They're wear their flip-flops all the time. It definitely is different now versus 20, 30 years ago. Now, I'm not, people dressed up more 20, 30 years ago. Now, like, you'll see old movies. You'll see movies that are set in like the 60s, say. And you'll see shots of people on an airplane. And they're wearing suits. Yeah, yeah. Now, they're also smoking on the airplane too. So a lot of things change as time goes on and on. But like, if I'm going to go on a flight, especially a long flight, I'm sorry. I'm dressing for comfort.

40:59Now, I'm not going to wear pajama pants, but I'll wear, you know, I'll wear like, you wear, I mean, I haven't seen your pants today. I was going to bet, I bet a hundred dollars that cakes has this Rory pants on. I got my Rory pants, sweat pants, and a hoodie. I would wear this on a flight and I wouldn't think twice about it. Now, some people might be like, you should dress up a little bit more around public. I don't care. If I'm going on a flight, I need to be comfortable. I need to be comfortable on a flight the whole time. But what about church? I know you don't go to church. If you wear Rory pants to church. No, I would, I would, the bottom tier of what I would wear to church, if I were to ever go again, which I probably won't, jeans. Jeans is the absolute, but not like, they have to be dark jeans, like good jeans. I can't be like a $15 pair of job or some old Davey. You can't wear that to church. You look like a clown. I've told Drab this a billion times that when I die, I'm having a dress code for my funeral. Like, you're not allowed to attend my funeral or wake

42:02if you're not wearing a suit. That's happening a lot lately where people are just wearing polos and a slack or some people are wearing sweatpants. I think in a funeral like, you should pay respect and wear, at minimum, like a blazer and like slacks. If I'm on a suit. One of my uncles wore our Ravens jersey to an uncle's funeral. It was a show. That is the less like the family request you to wear, like a Ravens jersey. Or if somebody passes a huge commander's fan, wear a commander's. Doesn't sound like there was a request. It's probably not. I'm gonna have a bouncer at my funeral or wake and they're gonna look at you and say, not on the list. If you're not dressed appropriately. I don't stand. But the problem with what Ruth Chris is trying to do, and I like what they're trying to do, but it can be subjective to the owner or manager because one of the items is, if you're wearing something that's inappropriate or is exposing skin, there's a lot of dresses out there now

43:03that women wear wear. They got them out. Okay. The chest is out. And so who's to say that's appropriate? I guess that's up to whoever's running the restaurant. Like, well, here's the other thing. They have the right to choose who gets in, who doesn't, depending on what you wear. Here's the other thing. What if four guys come off the golf course? Okay, they're playing at a nice club and they're coming off the golf course and they've got Peter Malar gear on, but they've got all of got hats. They're gonna come in there to a Ruth Chris and spend 500 bucks minimum. At least. Are you really gonna turn that down because they're wearing hats? I think you're gonna ask. No, you're gonna ask them to take it off. Okay, what if they don't want to? Well, then they're gonna go elsewhere. And you have to uphold your... I know, that's what I'm saying. But you just say, I'm sorry, but if you don't wanna take your hat off, we have four seats at the bar that you guys can die in. I'm getting off. You have the hat on right now. That makes sense. But I'm wearing a beanie right now. But what I'm saying is you're turning down a lot of revenue just because they're having hats on. Depends on if you want to uphold your dress code and standards that you set free. And the rest of their outfit is fine.

44:03They're gonna call it shirt on, they got pants. But they just have hats. Maybe they've made a decision that they actually are better off losing that short term revenue for the long term revenue of maybe a lot of people customers have been turned off. Like you have a certain expectation when you go to a Ruth Chris or a fancy steakhouse that people are gonna be dressed nicely. And then if you see a bunch of bombs in there, you're like, maybe I don't wanna go there anymore because there's a bunch of freaking hooligans with hats on. They're trying to keep the wrap out. Right. They're trying to do. They're trying to raise the floor. His gall for some is ruining the time of the people who've classed out. I'm gonna say this, if you walk into a steakhouse and there's a guy who we're in a hat and you turn around because you don't agree with it, you're an idiot. You're a moron. Go have a nice dinner. Who cares for the guys where? I'm kind of surprised that I assumed that Ruth Chris already had a no hat policy. I didn't know that. I'll say this, that I do think people dress better years ago.

45:04And it's gotten more casual with the crocs, the worry pants, whatever. And you see it more out and about. And in particular, I think church, my mom was a little uptight. She would have, I'm telling you the last time I went to that Christmas I should have freaked out. Because people used to, and you know this, because you grew up going to Catholic church for particularly the high holidays, Easter, Christmas, people used to dress up with ties. Up your gates. Like you would bet, I would bet 90% of the men had ties on for one of those big masks. Probably right. And now it's maybe 10%. All right, let's go to the phones. 800-636-1067, where do you stand on this Ruth's Chris policy? As far as got to dress better, can't wear hats, can't wear tank tops, can't wear your bathing suit into Ruth's Chris, if you want to go get a sizzling steak table side. Let's go to Guy in Silver Spring. What's up, Guy? Hey, good morning.

46:04Couldn't agree more with the dress code policy. It bothers me, especially when I'm spending $200 on dinner. And I was at the airport a couple weeks ago, and the dude in front of me in line at TSA looked like he just mowed the lawn. He had like a raggedy cut off t-shirt. And I just told him to put his sleeves back on, and he got all pissed at me. But the guy behind me made fun of him in line. And I feel like this has happened in everywhere, and we kind of need to dial it up just a little bit. Just try a little harder, everyone. Thank you. This is the current transportation secretary making an effort to get people to dress nicer on airplanes. Correct. John Duffy. What a real-world star. What did he say? He's trying, he's making an effort. I think they even run a commercial, I think, where he wants people to dress nicer on. Well, he's basically just telling people, stop wearing pajamas and like fuzzy slippers into the airport. I mean, I don't fly a lot. I fly once a year. Yeah, I don't fly a lot either. Thank God. I mean, I've never noticed someone dressed really poorly

47:05on a plane. You know, your kids have been at a high school for a while. And when I was doing my book last year, I was going to this library right across from Quince Orchard High School. And a lot of the kids get out for lunch. I mean, the amount of kids that go to school in Crocs, in slippers, in uggs, and basically pajamas, it's unbelievable. I mean, are you just realizing this? That high school kids like wearing pajama pants to school? It's just happening for like a decade. It's still amazing to see it. To see it every day. I mean, to me, I didn't ever count. It seemed like 50%. You know what though? I'll be honest with you. It seemed like 50%. When I was in high school, if I could have worn pajama pants to high school, I probably would have so comfortable. They're just, they're just comfortable, Saul. They may look terrible, but they're comfortable. How is this show having this conversation? This, look at how we dress. I know. No one in this room can say anything about other people dress.

48:06I don't think. No, I don't care. No, but you don't, this is all you see me in. I don't dress like this one. I know, but you're at work. He's complaining about how people dress at school. I wear the same sweatpants. Same sweatpants every day. Because I'm gonna dress like this in an airport. I can't throw stones at anybody at the airport because they're basically wearing close to what I'm wearing. You know what I'm saying? If you want to wear like comfortable pants and a hoodie on an airplane, go right ahead. Because I'm wearing the same thing. I'm not gonna wear a suit on an airplane. Oh ho. When did jeans all of a sudden become uncomfortable? Jeans are comfy. Jeans, if you're taking like a four hour flight, you're on a tiny cramp seat. You're, it can interfere with your bozac a little bit. You know what I'm saying? Like, oh, you're holding that much. You're so, you're so, you're so, you're so, you're so, you're so, you're so, I'm down. You can't wear jeans on a flight. Okay, John, hold on. That on a home top. Okay, you guys are all comfortable wearing jeans. I'm sitting on an airplane seat. I'm not comfortable wearing anything

49:07because they'll see suck, but I wear jeans probably 90% of the time. Yeah. All right, we got some people that want to weigh in. We'll come back, take your calls 1-800-636.
