but as as people's final mock drafts come in uh... Carter donek who's an NFL draft analyst he uh... he did the what would he do mock draft oh that's your next much draft yeah oh exactly that's the one you know that is so good perfect i'm gonna rip that bit off uh... but he said uh... feeling it's six for the browns jordan tyson at twenty four okay so what's interesting about that uh... i've heard i heard a couple different national people today make the suggestion that tyson has a chance to free fall tonight because of the injuries and i think there's a there's an eye now i have no i didn't hear anything about twenty four at all uh... but i do find that interesting to be we've always talked about ice in the injuries today was the first day that i heard national people uh... really discuss the idea that uh... tyson into the teens and then start to free fall is a very it's a big reality that could exist yet if if it happens i will be a happy boy all for sure and now here's a thing but it's kind of like the Gabriel Sanders quarterback thing from last year where it'd be like

you got him in the wrong order but you got him you you eventually got the guys i also think Monroe Freelink is a guy who might not have who who might have more of a floor than people realize uh... i'm not talking about his is draft like his abilities in the NFL what i mean is uh... i've seen a few people suggest Monroe Freelink could be there twenty four i don't think it's outlandish because they're they're going to be teams what i think like uh... whether it's uh... lomo or he had a tour or proctor more and or Blake Miller more and so i think that's i think i think what is maybe been under reported or under talked about is in the same way in the same way you can do this with a quarterbacks after for nanomendoza where i think you can i think it's outlandish to say Carson back might be a better prospect in tyson i really don't think there's that kind of gap between those two i think the tackles or even even fauna i think is in that conversation

and if you ask me like who's the first act of the board i don't honestly know cuz i think it's gonna be a uh... kind of dealers choice yeah and i think that's what makes this rafsel interesting and this is why everyone discuss the trade downs the way that they do because the separation between a lot of these offensive lineman just isn't that great now this being said i think you're the right guy to right to help adjudicate this because you're going to be able to play the part of a messa here yeah so uh... my nephew had his third birthday party back in February we weren't able to attend we were going to but we were able to attend cuz uh... that that's right when i had that that little weird illness that knocked me out for a couple days okay and i and i started getting at that saturday and so i didn't want to take it because i was right when was influenced a b was big there and is he had just had it we didn't we didn't want to be the super spreader right and so we have because my brother lives up in north homestead and i we live down a wadsworth i have not had the chance to deliver this gift yet okay i was going to do it a week ago because we're here in the dinosaur racetrack right well

i mean it's not given away in case young men's listening that you said it yesterday i did but he wasn't listening yesterday you never know when three year-olds are listening to sports talk however yeah uh... um he's got the that was on his iphone hopefully he's not listening to this while opening or not opening his present uh later today but so today i finally remember i'm gonna take little rowing his his dinosaur racetrack and venessa jammed me up at like twelve o'clock she's like so when you get a rapid i was like i'm not gonna wrap it it's like why not as i because it's a gift for a three-year-old for a birthday that was two months ago i just like i think you know i remember in who i was a three wrapping just gotten my damn way i didn't really want it and she got really like offended okay i was somehow chinsing my three-year-old nephew in experience because like unwrapping is like half the fun in a lot of ways for who for the three-year-old i would disagree i mean maybe this is just me because i like to wrap

presents i like i think it's fun in fact when you first said it i was like i would have brought you wrapping paper i would have just done a year for you you actually were like crestfallen you like oh i would have done that for you do you know how much wrapping paper i have at my house like a ton and like i also i i'm the guy that also the day after christmas i then go to the stores and i buy wrapping paper and like keep it in my closet for the entire next year because i'm married to john it's like 85% off at that point i mean it's just it's the insane teal sun wrapping paper so you have to do it yeah it's a fool not i have an insane amount of wrapping paper i would love to brought you a bunch i have a whole closet it's just wrapping paper yeah i don't want it just so we're clear i hate wrapping but i would have done that i would have i would have brought the wrap paper i would have wrapped it for you we could have put a bow on it we could have it really nice and it would have been all sorts of like now at least is you at least is your way by the way yeah at least doesn't have anything well her her trick she just puts things in bags oh she puts things in bags and then puts the little the little paper on it and that's like that's the most that she'll do literally ever when it comes to this discussion and i'm always like no come on wrap it up like because little kids

love that i just made a face yeah i know i know what you did no no no it's not that i it's not that i what everyone know that you made a face it's that you then have to a you need to acknowledge them into the face happening i did yeah you did yeah tell you get to have two kits yeah yeah you don't get that way wrapping it up no it's true so so about that am i in the wrong about if i if i if i did because i it's you're not in the wrong it's unwrapped you're not in the wrong the kid's not gonna what was well i just just just showed up as if like how you bought it wherever you bought it but he was in a bag and i took it out of the bag so you're just gonna like throw it like throw it to the kid like here's your present i make a throw it at him i'm a i'm a giant man i would not the kid out here's your present the the part of wrapping paper that makes it matter is the idea that it's an elevated part of the gift no it's an understood elevated part of the gift instead the kid might be like would you pick this up outside of the porch this kid's gonna see this kid's gonna see dinosaur a racetrack he's just gonna see the dinosaur

and his little ginger ass is gonna lose his mind oh so redhead yeah my brother Sam's a redhead okay yeah i don't know why that's your main to the story but the kid's gonna go crazy because he's gonna see the dinosaur i don't want to have to sit there and i don't want to wait oh no it can be half the fun though by the way who wants to unwrap to unwrap a gift two months after your birthday party you just want the gift oh no this is like this is a bonus gift is what this is no one's expecting a gift two months after your birthday in fact i love the idea of spreading out gifts all throughout the year and then having like different designations for people so like all right if my birthday my birthday was yesterday if i got a gift from somebody in july for my birthday and then another one in september i that's just that's what's not the good times roll that sounds like a great time would you want to unwrap it though i didn't get many gifts yesterday though so it's kind of is what it is yeah coach totally won up to me by the way oh yeah coach got me a gift that was great yeah i got me a six pack of uh an ipa that he's talked a lot about so once we two uh wants me to check out i will freely admit i was nice of coach i overthought it because i thought of different gifts that i would get you

you don't have to give me a gift but just so here's the thing because you're not a big birthday guy of celebrating your own birthday i didn't want to make it awkward by getting you a gift and then there's that weird are you going to unwrap it and how do we like so you wrap my gift uh no probably not no probably not you just handed to me yeah like coach in a bag in a bag yeah but that would be mean wrap it is the grocery store back because that's a timely you know what i thought with that though it would have been much nicer if it was wrapped it'd be insane because it's a six pack but it would have been nicer if it was wrapped it gave less vibes if you just went to the grocery store as you were coming over here and then you purchased it because he heard us teasing him because he heard us teasing him it would give less vibes of that like oh you really you really thought this through i wonder if i was gonna come up in 10 minutes with coach but i like that we've set the standard that we're not doing gifts for each other because that would have been a really bad you get me a gift and i have to get you a gift and then we don't and then there then we're escalating they get more expensive we have too many responsibilities in life we don't have to be taking five girls yeah we the two of them we just don't have to be thinking about it for each other real no we really can't yeah yeah

all right i put your gift on a way away our gift is how you get each other into debt every each other birthday that's how you get it three months later two and six four seven four 0092 Vanessa was a guest she was infuriated as if i somehow was besmirching her antley honor by not wrapping my three-year-old nephews two months delayed gift am i a monster am i wrong feels like you're actually kind of an agreement with me even though you're captain rapid you're not a monster i just think it makes the gift nicer but i think it's also gives us less vibes of i oh i just happened uh i just went and got this and i thought of you very very late in the equation oh when i when i show up at my brother's house am i going to show him on amazon where i bought this sucker in january you damn right i am yeah i'm going to see the price oh i don't care about that
