Before the folks who like to do podcasts over YouTube, most of the time, hit us up at Apple podcast for the Apple folks, non-Apple folks like me, spreeker.com, hit us up there. Book our scoop family, book our nation was good. I see y'all in the chat going hard, per usual suspects, we're going to dive right into it. We're going to talk about a generational five-star to a how state, excuse me, phenom.

It's a familiar name and there's been some updates with this prospect we're going to talk about as well. And so remember, when you send us one of the super chats, it helps to go towards a pay of forward, which is our military and our first responders. We're going to look out for them because they always look out for us. Nevada, what's up, man? How are you feeling after this weekend? Busy sports weekend and, you know, I know you got some stuff coming up, what's going on? Yeah, just, you know, kind of sad that Ohio State to make the sweet 16. Yeah. But, you know, hey, we're in the spring football, lots of great things going on and some recruiting stuff really starting to pick up for the black eyes as well. And, you know, the Ohio State brands never been hotter and, you know, they announced that Jackson's fifth in Jigba is now the highest paid wide receiver in the history of the NFL. I think it was like 120, 130 million guaranteed 42 million a year. This is a point of reference, Justin Jefferson's at 35 million a year.

So that's 20% higher than Justin Jefferson for the great Jackson's fifth in Jigba, you know, unbelievable accomplishment. And obviously, all those things, whenever that happens, my first thought is always, how does that help Ohio State? And the answer is, you know, considerably because, you know, all these guys want to get paid, they want to develop. They want to go on to NFL riches and, you know, it looks like, I mean, what's Jackson's fifth in Jigba going to make in the NFL? You're not $500 million for his car. Great. I mean, that's what you want. That's the eye on the prize as opposed to an extra 100,000 here, an extra 100,000 there in NA. All money, you know, developed your culture over cash and, you know, great day for the black eyes with Jackson's fifth in Jigba and a great calling card for Ohio State recruiting in general. Yep, reaching the agreement with Seattle on a four year, 168.6 million contract extension that now makes it the highest paid receiver in NFL history, like Nevada said, the deal of averages, excuse me, 42.15 million per year and includes over 120 million guaranteed

both setting records for any wide receiver. So yeah, listen, this is what we do. We do this, man. And so for those who thought that, you know, Bright Heartline leaving would just, because there have been some hot takes, Nevada, of, oh, man, you know, we're about to fall off. Now, I don't, I ignore scum fans. They always, you know, try to cast our doom. They've been cast in our doom since, you know, Tressel was here. But even just some non-hater fans, like, oh, well, it's over. Not so fast, my friend. Not so fast. We talked about this. Bright Heartline has, has had the power of the black hole behind him. And remember, the ride receiver coach before him was a pretty good recruiter too. I mean, we've been wide receiver. We've been duking it out with LSU and other schools for wide receiver you for a long time. So don't think things are just going to stop because Heartline is gone, especially when

you got stuff like this happening, which is a good transition. And I will pull this up, Nevada, into the generational five star phenom that we are referring to. And who is that? Nevada, you want to get into that? That'd be a jet Harrison, which, first of all, jet Harrison is one of the great football names of all time, you know, I'm sorry about that. It'd be like, if your name wasn't, wasn't brand-in, but it was like, be hops, Moses, or something like that. Oh, holy Moses. Holy Moses. Oh, holy Moses. Oh, yeah, what I heard. I mean, like, hey, mom and dad, you shouldn't name you holy. That'd be great. But yeah, jet Harrison is an absolute fabulous name, obviously the son of the great wide receiver Marvin and Harrison senior and the brother of the great butt guy, Marvin Harrison junior. So, you know, the early word from Ohio State, I mean, this has been kind of a continuing thing. But the word from Ohio State is that they, you know, confidence is high that jet Harrison is going to be a butt guy, the word that we've gotten over the weekend from jet Harrison's

camp is that's the way that that's turning as well. So, this is, you know, a very familiar name for Ohio State fans, but this is a player that's come in probably much more, you know, heralded than brother Marvin, because I mean, Marvin came in and, I mean, I'm not saying he wasn't regarded a good writer here, but it wasn't like, oh, wow, like this guy's the next, you know, next big thing. Franky Cowell McCord was considered a higher recruit than Marvin Harrison was. It was almost like, hey, this guy's almost like a package deal with his quarterback and this and that. The other thing like that, you know, it's funny how those things turn out. But yeah, jet Harrison, the next great Harrison wide receiver, now a five star wide receiver and definitely a guy that I could see Ohio State adding to their wide receiver hall here, you know, coming up relatively shortly. So definitely good news coming on the recording front. For sure, let me go out and go back into these highlights, but yes, jet Harrison is an

incredible name. That's just stupid, like stupid, like fire, like, that's a video game name. You know, when you're like playing Madden or something, you making a creative player, that's a creative player name. And so I'm going to pull those highlights up, but you're right. People forget Marvin Harrison was like a four star, a four star kid, good prospect, you know, is he overhyped because of his name? I mean, you were getting stuff like that throw in with Kyle McCord or that. But let me ask you, Nevada, because I know you watch jet and I'm going to pull him up now. But I want your thoughts on the differences. I know the differences, some of the differences I see and also see some similarities with him with Marvin. But there's some things that I feel like he is just low key, better at jet is over Marvin. And so I wanted to get your thoughts on jet and then I'll jump in. Well, I mean, to me, you know, I mean, the one knock that I would have on Marvin, if you

can possibly make a knock on a guy as great as Marvin Harrison was at Ohio State. I mean, you know, sure, he hasn't gone to the NFL and completely, you know, torn it up, but, you know, 12 or 14 TDs in two years, you know, 14 high yard, you know, 686 yards this year despite only playing 12 games. But I never felt like he was a big speed kind of guy, you know, like a guy that could kind of blow the top off there. And I just, you know, you know, jet just looks twitchier and faster and more fluid than Marvin did. And, you know, Marvin was a great tactician, you know, great catch radius, really strong guy. But I think Jets more explosive, you know, and I think he's a guy that could play in a number of different positions. And I think he could play in that slot that Jackson Smith and Jigba spot, but I also think he's a type of guy that could take the top off on the defense. So to me, just a little bit more athletic Harrison, which that just sounds kind of crazy saying that.

That's how I see him and be interested to hear what your perspectives are on Jet Harrison. No, I agree. I think he's clearly more explosive, but he also high points the ball just as well as Marvin Harrison was because Marvin Harrison in his high school film, he did a good job with 50, 50 balls, but also look at the route. Let me go back here to about right here. Look at this route coming up. Hold on to the next clip. All right, here we go. Check out this route right here at the bottom of the screen. Boom. And he gets held like stuff like that to me is just like, okay, yeah, because Marvin Harrison was very fundamental, very solid. He's bigger than jet. Jet is only six one. Let me see. 1175, Marvin was like 16 and a half, 63, you know, in high school taller, but his brother

is high point in the ball just as well. His route running looks great, but he does look twitchier and more explosive. And so obviously with the smaller size, that might lead to that, but still, I mean, he might end up having a higher ceiling than Marvin Harrison. And clearly, he's a five star. The rivals has him as the number one player, right? So I mean, look at this. Boom. I mean, he's just he's running east and west to get north with great speed. He doesn't drop balls. I mean, to get him to come here, because you know, a lot of times you'll see not a lot of times, but sometimes you'll see some legacies or brothers say, I'm going to, you know, I'm going to do my own thing. I mean, if jet does come here. It kind of, to me, Nevada, you can tell what you think. It kind of confirms like, you know what? Like my brother was treated very well at that school on and off the field.

Because, honestly, sometimes these family member brothers or whatever don't end up going to some scoos because they like, ma'am, my brother was, that was not a good situation, low key. The public might not know it. You know what I'm saying? So anyway, I'm just saying, if we able to get jet here who might be even better, that just shows how dope the program. And that's without heart line, Nevada, your thoughts. Well, yeah, I think there would be a great endorsement of kind of for life after heart line that you could land, you know, a receiver of this category. But, you know, if you're jet Harrison, you'd have to, I mean, Marvin would have had to

have had a really bad experience when I was there for you not to want to come here. Right. You know what I'm saying? Right. I mean, because all these, these kids are not stupid. They're looking at and kind of going, okay, Jackson Smith and Jigba, Garrett Wilson, Chris Alon, the Marvin Harris and Noah Brown. I mean, just go on and on and on and on down the list. And you got the best one up literally the best one of the bunch and J.J. Smith is the next one. So I, I don't, I mean, you never like to say that anything's a mortal lock when it comes to recruiting because there's a lot of elements in there. But why on earth would you gamble with your future? Because Camino has to, it's a sure thing, you know, barn injury, you're going to have a great career. You're going to go on to NFL Richards and that's what these guys want to do. You go anywhere else and it's, I'm not saying there's no chance, I mean, that would be ridiculous. But it's less of a, you, there's a greater chance that it doesn't turn out the way that you want it to be. And, you know, Marvin Harrison senior was obviously a very cerebral guy, Hall of Famer.

You know, Martin, you know, Marvin Harrison, you know, Junior certainly has, has out surpassed his high school recruiting ranking in terms of where he was draft, the NFL draft and the kind of situation he's put himself in there. So I would, you know, it'd be shocking for Jeff to go, you're short of, you know, there would be just one of the things where you just don't want to go into brother's foot steps. You just don't want to go the same place you're brother, but we're not hearing any of that. And I think that's really the big story. We're not hearing any of the, hey, you know, I just want to go blaze my own trail. Hey, I don't really want to go to Ohio State. Hey, Marvin did really have the best time, you know, contrary to what you think. He didn't really have a great time at I was like, we're hearing none of those things. And that, again, you know, that gives me that much more confidence that, that Jet Harrison's going to end up as a bucket. Yeah. And so let me ask you, I was going to kind of go into a spill, but I want to tee it up for you. What is the common denominator, Nevada? What is the, and I'm a touch on really quickly in a second, another receiver we got coming

in who could have left, who could have whatever, but, you know, they seem to be doing things to, to double down on being a buck, I even more, I'll touch on that briefly. What's the common denominator for a Jet Harrison and his family to want to stick and stay, even though the all world, you know, why receiver coach is gone. I mean, to me, it's Ryan Day, you know, I'm saying to me, it's Ryan Day. And, you know, the fact that Ryan Day, you know, if you think about what could screw up a wide receiver and what could screw up a wide receiver's development. And that is, you know, don't play in a system that throws the ball or don't play in a system that is really effective at throwing the ball and it gets the best quarterbacks. And you know that Ryan Day is going to have the best quarterbacks. And that's, you know, I think that's just kind of that extra security blanket that you have there. And, you know, as a wide receiver, that's why, you know, the, the quarterback position in college football is overpowered because when you get the good quarterbacks, well, you

get all the other good players because then everybody else wants to come there and you most certainly get the best wide receivers because the best wide receivers want to come where they're going to be throwing the ball to. And, you know, when you've got, you know, the list of quarterbacks that we've had in the recent past and then a current roster where you've got Julian saying, you've got Tavine St. Clair. You know, you're getting the ball. It's going to get thrown to you. It's going to get thrown to you often and Ryan Day is certainly the, the, he's the confident nominator. He's the one thing that's there that's not changed about Ohio State and another reason why I think yet Harrison ends up like that. I agree. You said it. I didn't even have to say that and that was not rehearsed. I knew he was going to say that because it's the truth. And so, you know, he just, he knows how to, not only that, but the off the field stuff. I've heard Marvin Harrison and interviews just praise Ryan Day because even Ryan Day and interviews talking about his son, he wants him to go somewhere where he know he's going

to be taken care of on and off the field because that's what he does. And so, I mean, all these relationships and things like that with Ryan Day at the helm, just being a legit, like there's nobody Nevada, I know your contact, your people, people, I know, you know, that no Ryan Day, like really no Ryan Day, nobody be like, man, he's really a deback behind the scenes. Don't get it twisted. Like, he sucks. We hate him. Nobody. I mean, every now and then, there might be a disgruntled parent whose kid didn't play. But like Ryan Day is that dude, he's the common denominator for sure. And so, that's just, I mean, as long as we have him, I think the players and parents know regardless of who leaves, we're going to replace them with somebody just as good if not better, which is powerful because a lot of schools in Nevada would crumble, lose in a heart line. Like, do you think they're real quick, and I'm going to pull up a quick clip of something.

But let me ask you, is that an overstatement to you that other schools, most other schools would crumble, losing a stud recruiter like Heartline? No, I don't think that's, I mean, look Ohio State was concerned about it. So, so concerned that they gave hotline, the offensive coordinator position, even though he wasn't, you know, really ready or qualified to do it, but no, you know, but and again, I want to say this very carefully, that's why I'm enjoying every moment at Ryan Day's here because, look, I'm sure, you know, you can say, hey, the school's bigger than Ryan Day, and of course it is, you know, you've gone from Woody Hayes, you know, in Cooper and, you know, Jim Trustle and Urban Meyer, you can go down to the list of great coaches in Ohio State. But it's not guaranteed that the next step is going to be as good, you know, so like, I want to enjoy every moment at Ryan Day's here because it's just, it's sure it, you know, it's sure it, that your offensive scheme is going to be first right? It's sure it, that you're going to be able to get great offensive and defensive coaches

to come work for you. It's, it's sure that your academics are going to be in order, that you're the quality of kids you're, you're getting this going to be great, that your recruiting is going to be first right, that you're always going to have great quarterbacks, you're always going to have great, you know, I mean, there's just a lot that comes along with Ryan Day, and will we survive when he inevitably moves on whenever that is, of course, but I don't want that to be soon, because again, Ryan Day represents just a guarantee of greatness for Ohio State and that you can't really say that about a lot of coaches and college football. Yep, preach, but you know, you'll still have people who want to fire, but it is what it is. That's just pretty much the world we live in, but I'm glad he's here too. This is Jameer Brown. I have on the screen and they're seven on seven, I'm bringing him up because he's another kid. He's in the 2027 class. He's the number one receiver in Ohio, top 15 national player, five star, a stud, stud stud, very fast.

I will call him a friend of the show. He's been interviewed by Dev. I lost count. He's been on the show. That kid, a hard working kid, and an Ohio product, and I mentioned this as far as I said earlier doubling down, he moved from a Uber Heights, Wayne where Braxton Miller went closer to my neck of the woods here in Columbus area to a high school called Big Warner. Now, like I said, I said this before, I don't forgive you were on the show about it, but you know, programs have like over the past 20 years or so being in the Columbus area. There's some programs who have went down and something that have went up. Big Warner back, we scrimmaged him in basketball. We scrimmaged them, I can't, my junior year, senior year, anyway, we played at Big Warner and they wasn't like that, like their program was cool. They were solid, but they weren't like a powerhouse. So I was surprised when I heard he moved to Big Warner, but then some others told me they

had been really good in recent years and you know, they got a good program and stuff like that. But anyway, the point is, Big Warner is not that far from Columbus. So he was interviewed and asked why he did that and wanted to main things he said is so he can be closer to a house state. I know there were some who were concerned about visits he might take in heart line leaving, but this kid, Nevada, doesn't seem to be wavering at all. In fact, he's putting his money where his mouth is by moving closer to a program so he can be closer to a house state. I mean, that's his words. So I mean, this is another five star stud that could have left and demanded top dollar with heart line leaving. And so this is just more proof. Now listen, obviously there's time between now and signing day. But the evidence says he's not leaving, barring something crazy happening. And so then you got jet in his family, who's a stud and we're in, we're still in on,

you know, the monsoons and the other guys. So I'm saying I have to say I'm laying it all out for you all. It's not over till it's over, but the evidence right now shows that we're still pointing in that trajectory of we ain't stopping this while receiver recruitment drain, Nevada. Well, yeah, no, it's, you know, I think for a house state, it's, you know, you've got such a great reputation and, you know, it's a great place for anybody to develop. And I think Ohio State isn't, you know, you're not breaking the bank. And I have, but they're not taking a backseat. You know, they've got their focused kids where they're putting out real money. I mean, JD Smith is making real money that you're doing. Saying that they're going to real money out of the, they'll pay guys for production and, you know, getting them in there and they'll develop the heck out of them. But for a kid like you, me or Brian, I always look at, you know, how, how is he reacting with the other recruits? And he's the guy who's one of our lead recruiters. He's the guy that's going to believe recruit. He's one of the guys lead recruiting on Jet Harrison. So it's like, you know, I, I look at that and kind of go, well, you know, that's the kind

of guy that I want as black guys and it gives you a pretty good indication of where they're, where they're parts at, where they're heads at in the sole process. But when they're out there trying to sell, we'll house the other people as well to me that, that really speaks volumes. Yeah, man, I'm getting excited thinking about these future kids because I told you, I'm a huge David Gabriel, Georgia's. I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan. Hey, how's it going today? It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I saw billboard years recently that said 20 billion one, 20 million is insane number. Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and better and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan?

What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. That's pound five, two, nine from your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24, seven, 365. Wow, Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's largest injury law firm. Thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me.

This is to affordable credit helps me pay my employees, but I don't really need it. Infliction is killing me. Who cares? Big retailers are making record profits. That's why we support the Durban Marshall credit card bill. See? Banks and credit unions help small businesses make payroll. This bill would cut the vital resources they need. While increasing Megastore profits. They deserve it. Don't they? Tell Congress, stop the Durban Marshall money grab for corporate megastores. Paid for it by the Electronic Payments Coalition. He is a stud and barring something crazy happening, he's going to be a book eye. Imagine the speed on the outside with that type of NFL back and just the talent we got coming in. I guess what I'm saying, y'all, is I always preach this. And so does Nevada. Appreciate what you have. We are recession proof as you can get.

We don't stop. We lose. I'm telling you, there's been fans from other fan bases like, man, a heartline going you're done. For real? You think so? Yeah. I don't think so. And that's not going to heartline. It's just we, we just, we're not, we're going to do whatever we need to do to stay on top. You know, I'm saying a higher, you know, whatever. And so just appreciate it. I'm telling Nevada, like we. I thought about a Jay Z song. It's the it's called the Medley intro. And before he starts rapping. And he's like mocking people asking like, well, he ever fall off. He comes in like, no. And then he starts spitting. And he starts rapping his verse. For those who know it's, it's classic. You know what I'm talking about? That's Ohio State. It's like our haters is like, aren't they ever goal fall off? And we'd like, no. And then we hit you with the bars. I mean, that's just how it is. And so appreciate what we got y'all in this football program because we are on the heck of a run as far as consistency and just being elite.

And obviously, we all want more natties. But three in my lifetime is more than a lot of programs can say Nevada. Yeah. And, and, you know, you sent me into David Gabriel, George, like that's a guy. I said this before, but I bear repeating. I know I say get excited about every recruit. And then I don't get sad about any weird, but if we don't get him, I'm going to be sad. He's really, really good. He's really, really good. If he goes somewhere else, will we survive? Yes. Well, football continue to be played most certainly. But we've led this recruitment for a long time. We've, you know, we've pulled out every stop on this one. I feel it's like right where we need it to be. And I really feel like we're getting him. And when we do, I'm going to be, I'm excited about every group, but I'm going to be really excited about that one. Because I agree with you, I agree with you. I think that, that kid is a big time player. And, you know, I, I feel like you, you need that, you know, you need that at the running back position to really be, you know, like last year.

If I had a criticism of our, of our team last year. And, you know, it's, and again, I know I'm spoiled from having Trey Henderson and Quintran Jenkins a year before. But I didn't feel like we were really explosive at the running back spot last year. And in Projections, good. And in a thousand year. And I know all those things. But was he, was he great? And we expect kind of great at Ohio State, you know, those guys that every time they touch the ball, you feel like they could take it to the house. You know, and that's how I felt. Trey Henderson. Every time Trey Henderson touched the ball, I'm thinking he could house this. You know what I'm saying? Like, and if he gets a little crazy, he's gone. I didn't feel that way last year. And I want to feel that way again about the Ohio State running back room. And I'm, frankly, I don't know if I'm going to feel that way about the running back room this year, because, you know, I think Projection Boat will most certainly be better. Isaiah Wesley better. Jacob sent isn't really that kind of a back. And maybe legend bays that guy. You know, maybe legend bay. Is that guy that can kind of make those things happen. But, but David Gabriel George is most certainly that guy.

And, and I want to see him in Scarlett Gray. You brought up some things that trigger some thoughts. I had a discussion with some buddies of mine about this. And we'll get to superchats. We're going to have a, um, a harder stop tonight and a little bit. And we'll get to superchats. But Nevada, you brought up some things that we discussed. So here's the deal. I think one thing that contributed to the lack of explosion in the running back room is. We saw people's did not step up and do what we all hoped he would do. Right. Running back out of Texas. We saw really good speed on film and planning against good competition. I mean, physically he looked apart. Um, you know, early on, you know, in the spring. I mean, he was doing well. He was looking like he was going to be that guy. And it just never came to pass. He made some progression throughout the year. You know, he leaped over a guy and he started to wake up a little bit and be solid. But he wasn't, we needed more than solid from him.

James Peoples was supposed to be the guy. And then, you know, the other guys chip in. So with that said, both Jackson and true freshman had to be the guy. And of course, CJ Donaldson was a short yardage guy, whatever past pro guy. But both Jackson was our, our best to back. And he wasn't quite ready. He was coming off the injury. You know, like all of that takes time to get your legs under you. Now, with that said, Nevada, here's the other thing me and my guys were discussing. And I'm not saying he's equal to this person. But I saw similarities. And what was lacking? JK Dobbins, his freshman year. He had a great freshman year. Remember, he was called jump cut Dobbins. I mean, he was. But his freshman year, he was getting walked from behind. At times. But guess what? He improved on that. He got faster. And he wasn't getting walked no more. I mean, when he was gone, he was gone. I'm pictured the Clemson game. And that in that inside zone play.

Nobody was catching him. But his freshman year, he probably would have got walked maybe. Same thing with Bo Jackson. Bo Jackson to me is a really good back. He has good vision. He leans forward. He gets north very quick. But he got walked. Okay. He needs to. To get what Mickey. I'm sure he is. This injury's not helping. But I think just like JK Dobbins, he can improve on that Nevada. To where he is a breakaway back. Because he was almost there. I mean, like, who was it against? I forget the team. But it was a 60 yard. Play all the way down to like the three yard line. And he showed it was up the middle. It was he squeezed through the hole. And exploded down field. I'm like, ooh, but he got walked. So if he can do like JK and just get to that another level of a speed and endurance and ability physically to go all the way. I think he can be that guy because we see that he has it.

But he was only a freshman and every freshman is not going to be trade Henderson with the speed. But I have hopes for Bo Jackson to take it to another level of like where he can be really, really, really good for isn't about any thoughts on that. Well, you also remember that Bo was coming off a pretty significant injury from senior year. You know, I'm saying. And so one year removed from that. You're not going to be as good as you're going to be two years from that. So to me, that's the big thing. So would have loved to see him in the spring. See how bouncing and springy is. But again, you're seeing a little bit of an injury unrelated to the high school one. Should be back, you know, full going the summer and then the fall. But I think it's a great point. I think he absolutely got it. I mean, he was that way in high school in high school. And he was crazy. You know, he was just running away from guy. So I absolutely believe he can do it. I think I thought he was really close last year. And if you pick up even just a little bit of speed, a little bit of explosiveness, you know, a little bit back, you're running a little bit sure. You know, again, last year, there's no way he's running the same reckless abandon coming off an injury that he will be this year.

You know, his confidence is going to be at a completely different spot. So no, I think it's a it's a good thing that we certainly could see more out of them and hopefully we will. Yep. And then one other thing before we move to superchets, the wild card within Nevada's explanation and criteria is turbo Rogers. Turbo Rogers has plenty of speed. Is he ready? Does he have the vision? Can he protect the ball? You know, is he able to be relied upon? Because we haven't really seen turbo play in a game. We just know he was highly rated snatched him from Alabama. He's a twitchy fast, you know, fast guy. But he has the ability to take it to the house. But is he able to do that within the confines of being a running back? You know, I'm saying because it's not like you just handed the ball and it's just a straight line with nobody to tackle you. You said I'm saying Nevada. So what about turbo real quick? No, I look, I, you know, turbo is one of those guys that it's hard to get too excited about them because we just haven't been able to see him on the field.

But, you know, the players know where the players are. You know, they say he's twitchy, they say he's fast. You know, certainly he's high school film. You know, it's reflective of that as well. So he's a, he's absolutely a wild grinning again at it. As I mentioned before, Legend Bay. I know the wild card of this thing, you know, what kind of guy like that do with the ball in his hands. But yeah, certainly, you know, turbo would be one that would, that would be a nice surprise into 2026 if we get some amount of turbo Rogers. Oh, man. I mean, to me, I feel like he needs to, I mean, like, listen, you didn't play last year, you've been in it. You're the most experienced Ohio State running back on the roster as far as that's available right now. You know, because you know, Isaiah and, um, and bow or not, or not practicing. So you got to step up and lead and do your thing and, and carve out some playing time. I mean, come on, man. Let's do it. I want to see it. All right. Real quick, uh, Keith Gordon, happy birthday. Said he's checking in live from Daytona Beach. Oh, that sounds nice. Nevada.

It was 85 here in Columbus yesterday. Kids out riding their bikes. We're throwing the football around. I might even have white, white, the little bit of sweat. And then it was 30 this morning here in Columbus. Oh, man. That's crazy. Bro, and it's supposed to be like 40s, 50s and then go back up. Listen, this is just Ohio weather. This is what it is. I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan. Hey, how's it going today? It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. Um, I think I saw Billboard years recently that said 20 billion won. 20 billion is insane number. Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think, somewhere north probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and better and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on.

Awesome. So how does someone do in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. It's pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24, 7365. Wow, Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's largest injury law firm. Thanks for coming by the show.

Big retailers are making record profits. That's why we support the Durban Marshall credit card bill. See? Banks and credit unions help small businesses make pay roll. This bill would cut the vital resources they need. While increasing Megastore profits. They deserve it. Don't they? Tell Congress, stop the Durban Marshall money grab for corporate megastores.

And if you're like me, you're trying to figure out how artificial intelligence is changing the business world and our lives. So each week on big technology, I bring on key actors from companies building AI tech and outsiders trying to influence it. Asking where this is all going. They come from places like Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon and plenty more. So if you want to be smart with your wallet, your career choices, and meetings with your colleagues and at dinner parties. Listen to Big Technology podcast wherever you get your podcasts. I've been here all my life. I still to me, it's not like I'm used to cold and snow, but it's the fluctuation. I don't know if it's like that anywhere else other than the Midwest where it just goes 85 to 30 to next day. Ridiculous. So I envy you, Keith Gordon. I hope you're having a great birthday and we appreciate you. Anything on that Nevada? Yeah, happy birthday, man. Enjoy Daytona Beach. Nevada buck is going. I'm going to be in Buffalo the rest of this week, starting starting tomorrow.

I'll be in Buffalo. So what's the weather? I guess it's going to be cold. I haven't even checked the weather. I'm assuming if Columbus is going to be cold, a bit of Buffalo is going to be cold too. So yeah, Tuesday through Sunday for for Nevada buck in Buffalo, New York. All right. So here we go. So tomorrow in Buffalo, New York, a high of 34 Wednesday, 48 is the high Thursday goes a little bit a little rainy 57 Friday back down to 33 and then snow on Saturday, 34 degrees. Now, I don't know when you're banging out of there Friday or Saturday, but. Well, it's known today. It's it's the national championships for hockey for for high school and my daughter's playing. And so it depends on what they win. If they keep winning, we'll be there. If they lose, I could be out of there earlier. So hopefully we're still playing on Sunday. That would be there would be good news. Yeah. Now it doesn't look like it's going to be like typical Buffalo crazy. Like when you look on TV at the bills games like, man, this is crazy.

I'm not going to be on like that, but still going to be low chili chili up in Buffalo this week. But it's all good. You're there for a great, great cause. Still he Matt member for three months. Shout out to scoot family. The acts. And master B Moses and Helsinki Nova Scotia buck. That's right. I'll post them. Go ahead. I'm Buffalo. I'm Buffalo buck now. I'm Buffalo buck. To be fair. Um, he didn't, he posted this before you announced you were going to Buffalo. Yeah. This is so. So you know, you know, he'll be on it. He would have been on that immediately. You know what I'm saying? He probably on it right now. He probably sending one right now. As we speak, our guy still be back. It's funny. Um, I was talking to my wife. I was like, I posted my ax video. And she's like, um, she's like, you tell them that I taught you how? Yes. Did I told them that I quickly passed you by after a round or two? Because she did. She had, she went, she done an ax thrown before I did.

So I'm like, okay. And she's like, well, you got to do this. Put your arm up. My art. Cool. Cool. And then I start getting it. But she's a little competitive as well. We got a competitive house. So, um, you know, when it comes to activities and sports and about. Well, yeah. It's, it's, I want to even ask your wife learn how to throw the ax before you did or whatever it is. But I just, I just can't get over the fact that like, I mean, I know axon is a thing and stuff. But like axon and drink in it. Like, like, there's just got to be like so many accidents and stuff. And people get hurt bowling. If you can get hurt bowling, you can sure that get her accident, right? Yeah. I just, I'm sorry. The play on words when you said accident, you know, just putting it together. You know, accident. But I'm here all week. No, but I mean, listen, I thought about that too. Because the place we win is called Smash Park for you Columbus people. It's been Westerville. It's actually dope. Nevada. They got like, uh, they got pickleball courts. They've got shuffleboard.

You ever heard of the duck pin bowling? You ever heard of that? Actually, actually when I was in, when I was in Halifax, I was, I went duck pin bowling. That's where somebody had ever done. It was candle pin candle pin bowling or duck pin bowling. Oh, I guess duck is different. The thin pins and duck pins or those fatter pins. But they both have small like balls. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Okay. So similar. It's similar. They had an arcade. A few other games and stuff like that. So it was cool. It was a nice little date night with the wife who was fun. But I thought the same thing about it. I was like, man, you got these acts throwing lanes. You got the, you know, alcohol on tap. Obviously. It's just, you know, people are goofy. And you just, you know, so I don't know. I don't know. We were fine. But I did think about that. Like, man, who they, they got like some secret security behind the door waiting to jump out or something. Good, good, good insurance. And I tell you what, you got to do that, that duck pin bowling, those, those small bowling balls.

Yeah. Kills, kills your arm. Like your arm will be hanging down by the next thing you'll be like, oh, man. That's really everything. That just wrecks retro arm. It can be deceptive because they're heavier than they look. Yeah. Sure. But yeah, it was fun. And it was good stuff. All right. Let me see. What I'll tell you, still be back. Thanks. Okay. A little buck. See? He was, he was typing. As soon as we were talking, typing. I love it, man. All right. I want to say. We, y-o-d. Thanks for the five.

We were told he was a bum and he didn't develop people. You. That's what we heard from people.

But anyway, no. Hankin's a, again, Ryan Day and his receiver room. that's him. We'll take him. And so great hire and so far so good. We keep getting more signs Nevada. Again, it's early things can change, but I don't think they're going to change. I think he was a good hire. And we keep seeing evidence towards that Nevada. Well, yeah. And if we get Jet Harrison, if he commits this week, B Moses and I are going to go over Niagara Falls in a in a barrel over there at the out of Buffalo. You know, in celebration of that thing, we'll do the thing. We'll film it. I think you put on the YouTube channel and everything like that. What do you think, B? Did anyone ever go viral? I mean, that's it'll be our last video. But it'll be epic. We'll go out with a bang, you know. Do that. If he was like, you was like, what happened to people that went over to the middle of a barrel with the Nevada Buckle with the Niagara Falls? I've never seen Niagara Falls. Have you ever been in Niagara Falls before? I haven't. I haven't. I haven't. I've never seen

it before. So I'm looking forward to seeing it. Yeah. I've heard me and my wife entertain going, you know, we're like, well, we're going to we're going to go this year type stuff. And we just didn't end up going. I don't know. It's one of those things where I need something else to do. Like, I'm not going there just for that. I need something else. So if we do go out there. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? If we if we do go up, maybe we'll like go to Canada after that or like like into Canada. You know what I'm saying? Or whatever. But I'm curious to see it, but not that much if I'm not doing something else. But yes, I'm sure you're going to have pictures of video. So I hope you enjoy that for sure. But speaking of enjoying, we always enjoy y'all. Got a short night tonight. Got a got a, you know, hard stop tonight. Got some things. We got a bang out. But hey, great show. We'll take Jet Harrison.
