2:16Also remember, when you send those wonderful super chats, helps to go towards the pay afford, which is our military and our first responders. We're going to look out for them because they always look out for us. Look who we got. We got the illustrious panel. Nevada buck dev back from his illustrious vacation. His surprise pop up vacation. So glamorous. He's back. Happy to have him back. Fellas. Let's start with you, dev. What's up brother? How was your vacay? Oh, good man. Chillin with the family. You know, watch a little bit of basketball. Didn't go our way, but still got to watch that. I got to watch a little buck high hockey hockey game going on right now. But overall, pretty good man. Excited that these boys get back from spring break back at this upcoming week. So we'll be sure to have some updates coming out more out of spring. So excited to get back in the role of some buck off football, man. We need some. We need some positive outlook and buck on nation.

3:19Yeah, we do. And it's about that time. Spring ball about to pick back up Nevada buck man. How you doing today? What you doing? How you doing? What's going on? Well, I was doing good. And then Devon drops a bomb on me before the show on the pre show. And he's like, Nevada, I'm telling you, it's J.J. Smith. Kids can be really good at Ohio State. I'm like, Devon, man, you are bringing. You're bringing the heat, man. You're bringing the heat. So now I'm really excited. I want to see this J.J. Smith kid come out there and see what he can do. What numbers he'd, you know, he's going to be like. That's funny. Number 44. There's some loose ones number anything at that. It was going to be two, but legend bays out playing them right now. But that's not it. I have. I have another nugget that'll give you here shortly. That's going to be even more. But you know what? Well, you know, whenever B says we can. Let's, let's go. Yeah, before that, Nevada, update the people on what you're watching, what the score is what's going on. We'll be monitoring it as we're doing this show. Tell us what's going on about it.

4:20The women's hockey for the national championship. The Ohio State was down to nothing at any of the third. It's now two two and eight minutes to go in third. And I am what I guilty pleasure. I am watching while I'm plotting. So we've got two to eight minutes to go in the third for the national champion Ohio State versus Wisconsin. So I will, I will keep everybody updated. You will not miss a thing because they scored no matter what's being said. I will shout in the back. I scored in that. Yeah, but two to eight minutes to go. Yeah. So go lady hockey, but guys in the frozen for for the championship will keep you abreast of that situation. So in the meantime, in the meantime, I'm going to tell you a little bit about my weekend. Me and the wife had a nice little, you know, a date basically for you, for those married folks who, you know, young kids, it's hard to date. It's hard to go out and just have a nice dinner. And we were able to do that. So that was fun. But we also went to a place called Smash Park, y'all in Westerville, Ohio. And I was introduced to axe throwing.

5:32So of course, I had the point to the camera afterwards. Listen, I had a rough start at first. I've never been axe throwing. There's there's a technique to it. But it did not take me long to get it down. As you can see, I nailed it. My wife's pretty good too. But that was fun. The vow to have you, you are dead. Have you ever been axe throwing? I've seen it. I've never done it. I've just kind of associated me drinking with throwing like big, gladed objects like that. And I thought about it. And I'm like, you know, I really am having a hard time coming up with good possible outcomes for that. You know what I'm saying? So I have to say it. So no, I have never done it. But look at me. Most you can do anything. You could like to ping pong, cool water, pull it down. Now you're an athlete. Man, those athletes can just pick it right. You're throwing it in the bulls eye every time on that thing.

6:45Yeah, listen, I'm very prideful when it comes to competition and athletics and stuff. That's why I hate that I suck at golf. And Dev is going to have to show me some things when we link up next time. But yes, my wife, she was good. She actually, she's been axe throwing before. And so she had to kind of tell me like, you know, put it over your head. And she beat me the first round. And after that. Didn't take long, but yet I was dope, man, because some people think you can just throw it at the wall. No, you can't. Now you actually have to do it the right way. Or to just hit against the wall and drop. But anyway, Dev, you said you've done it before. I actually enjoyed it. I thought it was pretty, pretty fun. It is. It's fun, man. It might sound wild, but like I did that as a little kid, just growing up on a farm, always had an axe or a hatchet or something, just throw it. Throw it out of stomp, throw it inside the barn, get it to stick, whatever. It's fun. There's definitely a technique to it, dude. But you look like, I don't know. You look like Julian Sain, how he looked through an axe.

7:45That's right. Bullseye, man. Bullseye. Got that quick release. Mark Swicks said, Be Moses, don't make her a mad bro. Yeah, for sure. Because she throws a mean axe. So, you know, let me be careful, I guess. I don't want no misery type movie scenes. But I was waiting on, I was waiting on the Nevada update, but we just went down three to two Wisconsin Ford. Yeah. So there's the update for you. I'm watching it as well. All right. That's cool. Well, we still got what we still got plenty of time. So we just, that's why he's on, that's why he's on mute right now. He's fuming. He's throwing stuff. No, I'm talking like, like this is really, I must be like somehow like a million years behind you, because like, I'm still, I still got it at two to two with six minutes and 30 seconds to go. And there's still line up for a fair. Sorry. My YouTube TV must really suck. I mean, I must be like, wait behind four minutes and 50 seconds.

8:50Oh my gosh. I'm literally like. Did you pause it at one point? I might, I might have. Yeah, that's what I did. Yeah, that makes more sense. Well, I said, that's ridiculous, even for you to TV, bro, that was way too much. Oh my god. I paused it. I liked on the worst, the worst. Well, Greg's let us know in the chat, too. I saw it before he put it in the chat. And I was waiting on Nevada to say something, but well, yeah, I would have said, I would have said something had I not had paused it. Oh my gosh. But you could have bet me on the game, Devon. I would have bet you a little. You're like a genius. You're like a swammy. That was the moment. That was your moments. All right. So, so listen, we'll keep monitoring the score. Let's go ahead and get into some position battles, some, some phenoms, stepping up and all that good stuff. And they kind of go from there and then just feel free to jump in.

9:52You know, with the score up day, hopefully with a goal. I know that soccer, but still whatever. All right. Cool. So actually, Nevada, because I know, Dev, you got some stuff. But Nevada, I wanted you to start this off and then transition to death so he can jump in on the position battles. Funky had a great post. You know, from his sources about position battles with some young guys and some season guys and, you know, some things I think we're going to see towards the end of spring ball kind of carry over and to fall camp Nevada. I thought it was a great post. What's your thoughts on that? What are you hearing? You can curve all that good stuff. What you got? Well, I mean, look, there's, you were always looking for names of who the next players are and maybe some guys that are flowing a little bit under the radar. And it's been kind of interesting when you hear it from multiple sources. If I'm hearing it and Dev's hearing it and Funky's hearing it, you generally can kind of cross triangulate and say that's going to be a pretty good player. But the one thing I thought was really interesting, because this was not an a lot of people talking about before the season and is is Leo R. Roker.

10:59You know, you know, Roker's a guy that, you know, you bring in Terry Miller, you pay him money and you hope that he can be the guy and he may be end up being the guy, you know, some guy coming off injury. But Leo Roker is a guy that I've heard from multiple people is turning heads there to Ohio State and, you know, could be could be the guy. I mean, he could be the guy next to jail on the claim. Therefore that that safety spot and I just think it just speaks to how much depth Ohio State has. You know, not saying just lowly rated, but you know, it's not like that's not a guy that we've been talking about. That's not a guy that, you know, as we've been doing our depth charts that we were like, oh, wow, we can't wait to see the great Leo Roker. They're playing it, but I just thought that was an interesting name coming out and somebody that is a fan, you know, you're always looking at this, this podcast to be a little more just smarter than the average bearer, a little more educated about stuff. I remember the name Leo Roker. I know you guys are probably familiar with it, but he's a guy that could definitely be a guy that not only contributes, but plays a lot for Ohio State this year and definitely someone I'd pay an attention to.

12:08Yeah, yeah, let me, I wanted to expand the picks now working. But anyway, yes, that has been sort of a surprise. It's almost as like, how can I put it? Do you recall Roker's ranking? Wasn't he either a high three or low four? I think he was a high three star. Yes, I thought he was a three. And so listen, I'm even guilty of this sometimes because I'm the don't stargaze. I appreciate everyone like Nevada, you know, type guy. But I didn't, you know, do the Humpty Dance like funky when we got Lee Roy Roker. I just didn't. I mean, I was like, okay, I trust the staff. They think he, you know, has some potential. I wasn't celebrating like, oh, we got his one. And I think he was a, he was a low three star. He was ranked number 155th safety. Okay, there you go. Nice. Thank you. Thank you for that. That just brings it home even more. Now listen, he ain't done nothing yet. Okay. So we're not saying he's the next Caleb downs.

13:15But the coaches for them, what they're saying and what they're doing and allowing him to break practice. And we keep hearing that he's turning heads in practice. He's leading. That's a something like Nevada says. So it's just like, wow, that is very interesting. But it also, you know, points towards development. Now we need to see it on the field. But we've already seen signs last year because as Dev has pointed out before. So eloquently is that some of these players who left, they hit the portal. They were behind Roker. Roker was seeing a fuel before them. So and those guys were four and five star, four high four star kids. So there's something there. So anyway, that's my response. I'm very intrigued. I'm excited because to me, that's just like, that's found money. This is like, okay, most fans have written him off really. Okay, he's just a depth guy. If he can come in and start or be in the rotation. And then you got more talented kids, highly ranked kids that are still coming up with their talent. That's just that just makes the team deeper Dev.

14:25Yeah, it Nevada is definitely right. This is 100% of surprise to everybody. I haven't seen anybody, Rick bringing his name up the only context in which people brought up. Lee Roy Roker is when we spoke about him for him. He played in front of him delaying. We really only got to see him come in and that Miami game. That's not much of a, you know, it's not a lot to go on there. But another reason why we haven't heard about him is because we got Terry Moore from Duke, the, you know, all American safety who really a lot of people had him really up high on the transfer portal list. But he was out for an entire season. So we had some concerns on whether he was healthy coming in healthy, which he is. But a lot that did get talked about is okay. What does missing an entire year of football due to somebody, right? So remember that as well. We're kind of early in Terry Moore getting back involved in this thing. But man, I heard this same thing.

15:27The first person I heard it from was not a player. So I kind of took it like a grain of salt. And then I got told this, you know, when you hear things from players, you should probably listen. And when I got told this and then I saw funky's update as well. I was like, dang man, Lee Roy Roker must be really turning heads here and just goes to speak to the developmental process. I'm at Ohio State because he didn't transfer out. This is he's going in his third year now. So he's had plenty of opportunity to transfer out. This is his third year or fourth year, third year, yeah, third year. So hearing really good things, you know, as far as the leadership aspect, he's really taken charge as a leader. You know, he was the first player at the first spring practice to give the team a speech. It wasn't Julian saying wasn't Jeremiah Smith. It was Lee Roy Roker who did that. So, you know, that speaks a lot. And it also just, you know, speaks to the depth that we could possibly have.

16:29We'll see who wins out this starting role. I kind of expected Terry Moore to start a little slow here because he didn't play for a year. But still the fact that Lee Roy Roker is in this conversation with an all American safety who's already got the job done before. I mean, speaks to the pedigree a player that he could potentially be and we should get excited. Whether he wins the starting role or not, he's going to make an impact on this year's team already. So that's exciting. Yeah, I definitely agree. All right. Before we asked Nevada any update. Is it still three to two? Still three to two? I think it is 90 seconds to go. Yeah, three to two, but the house has got the puck moving around, looking, looking to try to get the equalizer. Hey there. It's Ryan Seacrest for Safeway cold weather can wreak havoc on your skin.

Did you say 90 seconds left in the game or the quarter? What's the game? It's a third pair. Yeah, it's a third pair. Oh, we might as well write it out. Yeah. Damn. What's your responses? I'm trying to read your face. It got intense. It got intense. It looked like we're about to get the job done. Something has happened right in front of the goal right now.

19:54I don't watch hockey enough to know. But there's some people that are upset. Looks like there's sticks flying around that puck is did it go in? No. No. No. They're complaining about something though. They're complaining that she covered her hand on the puck. Kind of like the house. The last year that's what happened on how state girl covered the puck with her hand. Got a penalty shot called late and they were hoping that would happen for Wisconsin. You can't cover your part if you're the unless you're the goalie. Another player can't cover a puck for their hand on the crease, but I don't think that happened. Do they review that? They can. They can. That's what they did last year. They reviewed it and got the penalty call. So like, I mean, it's if you if you try for it and you and you you miss it, then they get a power play the other way. So it's not like it's just no harm, no foul on the years. So it's so it's a big it literally would end the game. They did that. Okay.

20:54So basically it's in limbo right now. It's in a lot of a lot of talk going on right now. A lot of talking. Okay. So did you want to jump in and then just interrupt? Yeah. If something changes, we'll just let's just keep on keep on trying to review that. She 100% grabbed the puck with her hand. So you can do it out of it. You can do it out of the crease. You can't do it in the crease. That's the whole. Okay. So if it goes our way, then, uh, didn't get a penalty. I'll ask that we get a penalty shot. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Which is what we want. So keep us updated on that. So real quick promise. Next item on the, um, the funky nugget. What other position battle are you intrigued by the most Nevada? Well, I think what's interesting to me is just because it's the spring is the running back spot. You know, I'm saying like, like, what's going on at the running back spot? You know, you've got, you know, Isaiah West, you've got Bo Jackson out. So you've got a wide open room. And so you just keep hearing things.

21:54Um, you know, obviously the legend based off is, is pretty, pretty crazy and, you know, going full steam. But what's the, why don't you, I'll let you make it because you're one. But what are you hearing about the Florida transfer and what, what are people saying about him? Well, you know, at the running back position, there's a lot of things that, first off, it's a young running back room, right? So at Ohio State running backs are asked to do a lot of things, you know, protect. Um, we saw CJ Donalds have come into Miami games specifically for that reason. Um, so I think when you're looking here, you know you got Bo Jackson, you know he got Isaiah West. You know they can get the yards for you. You need a back to come in that's going to be, you know, protect your quarterback, be a veteran presence in the room. Um, and I'm hearing like Jacobi Decton isn't only just that. He is turning heads, he's electric, he's very, um, quick, big and he's healthy now. He's healthy is the thing that when I first spoke about him with the coach here at Florida, that's what he told me.

22:59He's like, man, people are, are kind of missing this here because he hasn't been healthy for quite some time, but he's healthy now. Um, and people are talking about legend Bay rightfully so because I think he has the highest ceiling, right? And he has the versatility to go out and play wide receiver. So you're, you're talking I think possibly about two different, you know, positions there. Ohio State's not going to use Jacobi Jackson like they're going to use legend Bay, but Jacobi Jackson is looking, you know, really early right now. But he is passing the eye test, passing the early spring test as a guy that could come in here and be RB two or RB three is what I was told. And that wasn't by some onlooker either. That was by Nevada. I think you always say that players, no players, right? So I mean, that's something to keep an eye on there. Jacobi Jackson. I like what I'm hearing so far. Hey, real quick. Well, first of all, Nevada, any update? Are they done talking?

24:00They're talking to come out to rule right now. Okay, communication. They're discussing. Let's see what they say after review. Unsuccessful coach, unsuccessful challenge. So that, I mean, Ohio State gets a bench monitor for delay a game. Literally now. I mean, that, I'm not saying that's the end of the game, but it really that they're playing a man down with 42 seconds ago down a goal. And got a score. So they have to score short handed with 42 seconds to go. That's, that's a lot to ask. So real quick, how long does that last? Well, that'll be the end of the game. Like the game will end is only 42 seconds. That's a two minute bench minor. Okay, so typically it's okay. Okay, I got you. I was just wondering how long it lasted in normal time. But I guess that's it doesn't matter now to score to score short handed with 42 seconds ago is it's it's going to be hard, not impossible, but hard.

25:03Now real quick, real quick, because I'm still learning this. Do you think in hindsight, it was worth going after that review? I, I think she, she was listening to her players who told me they thought they covered it. I didn't see it ever get covered. So I, but I had the benefit of maybe better angles than they did. And I think she was just thinking back last year when it worked for was constant that way. Maybe she get the same luck. But again, in hindsight, now got you. Got you. All right. So, so real quick, I wanted to respond to the Jacobi Jackson stuff. And again, jump in if necessary, fellas. Devon, wasn't it you who said early on as you were getting stuff from your contact that he's a really good past pro guy, right? Yes. Jacobi Jackson. So that is key and that is very, very important because that's the type of stuff that's going to get you on the field more. We learned that we learn that every single year, guys who are better runners will get on the field sooner if you can protect the quarterback on third down.

26:04So that's going to be interesting to see. And then of course, you know, he looks pretty built physical. He has speed. I don't know how elusive he is. I don't know if he's going to make guys miss, but he does get north quick from what I saw in film. So hey, if he can do that and move the chains, I'm cool with it. All right, fellas. What's the update? What's the update? I'm going to be sensitive to it. Oh, I just got called for another penalty because she was about to shoot into an empty net. And so was constant. It's going to win national championship. Like I just go down. Yeah. Oh, well, that sucks, man. I know they're going to be really hindsight thinking about that about that review Nevada. That's going to be the big story you think. Yeah, that's definitely going to be a story. I mean, it was a tall thing anyway. They had only had 40 something seconds of score. So, yeah. But, you know, hey, maybe it was worth the chance because, you know, you get that preview and you obviously get a penalty shot and maybe you win and blah, blah, blah. But, you know, very hard, very hard to do.

27:10Yeah, I get the temptation for sure for the opportunity. But sad, you know, it is what it is. They got away to the championship gang came up short. So shout out to that coaching staff and those young ladies. You know, great season. So we kept your up to date real time. That's never happened on the pot before that was that was pretty good. You guys got to the live updates. Well, four minutes behind from Nevada. Fast forwarded it. Exactly. I'm still watching the cotton ball right now against all my anything right now. We're only down three at the ball back. So I think we got a chance for boys. Who's going to tell us what's all this negativity about the season, man? To see the games not over to the games over. I was at the, I was at the Miami high state game with Nevada and he was on a delay there too. I was at the weight a little bit to them. Oh, man.

28:10That is hilarious. Listen. Hey, can I say my, uh, my nugget that I got? Yes. Yes. It's going to blow a lot of people's minds. But I was told today that in fact Julian saying does have a slight lead over Tavine St. Clair and the quarterback battle. Let's go. Let's go to Nevada. I don't know if you're dropping that if you're here dropping gang, but you're dropping bombs today. They're dead. You're dropping bombs, man. You know, I'm telling you this is unbelievable. I don't know. I can't believe this is a free podcast. We should be charging admission for this thing here when you're dropping nuggets like that. But no, but I'll get inside like the go back to Jacobi Jackson thing. I had heard from my Florida guy that they thought that he was a heck of a player when we got him. I mean, I, you know, I wasn't quite sure if that was just like whatever, you know, it was being nice or whatever. But I, I've heard that from a number of people talking about it. So, you know, and so, um, you know, and he flashed, he'd flop. You know, when he was healthy, therefore, he had done some things.

29:12But it's going to be really interesting to see how he does because I think he's going to be an interesting addition for us and I really do. Hey there, it's Ryan C.

31:19Yeah, he's number 24 going through those drills right there. Look how big he is, bro. Yeah, there he is. Right there. Yeah, look at that. Go call out. I was going to say, I just saw him go through the drill. I'm like, man, he looks you. I mean, he looks physically impressive. I mean, listen, that doesn't mean anything to his to feel, but look, I'll just, I'll say this, when we got him, I was like, okay, cool. We need depth, right?

And then deaf start hitting us with the information Nevada, you know, from his people. And it's like, you know, fighting through injuries. I saw him here on this clip. And I was like, man, this dude looks physically put together. And then you got the pass pro prowess. Yeah. I mean, again, every running bag doesn't necessarily have to be a Zika Elliott. Can you help the team? Can you pick up yards? Can you break tackles? You know what I'm saying? Like, can you pass pro?

32:19Can you be a leader or that stuff? So I'm excited about his potential to help this team. Period. I mean, that's just how I see it, fellas. Nevada, you got anything on that? Boom, boom, boom, boom. There he is. I just say in this era of NIL, you know, when you, when you see guys that stay on the roster like Roker did, or you see that guys that are brought in from other schools like Jacob Jackson. I mean, I'll have to say things they can help because everything is about immediate help. Everything is about, can you help the team this year? So no one that they brought a minute, definitely got my attention. I don't think you can afford just to bring in fifth and sixth running backs and, you know, or development pieces for the future. Like, you got to have guys that can try to help you in 2026 is one of those years where they're going for it. And I think Jackson is going to be a part of it. I really do. Now that's good. That's good. So let me, I was going to ask you your next sort of battle, but I know which one I'm intrigued by. I'm about to share my screen.

33:27I created a little graphic real quick, you know, while I was on here, it's funny how I be creating little memes real quick. All right. So here we go. Here is the battle. I am looking for Quarersaw and Zion Grady. So listen, to me, when I say battle, I'm more so excited about the potential of these two. Zion Grady has been and listen, Dev, I know you've been getting information on Zion for a while. Like, you know this cat. You got, you got the goods. We saw him flash last season. He's even bigger now. Like his potential to really break through this year is great. And then, of course, we've heard about Quarersaw and him being injured, but also being twitchy and kind of a freaky little athlete. Not little, but you know what I mean? And then, of course, our resident Bama fan, Roe Tai has also backed that up.

34:30So to me, the battle between these two is great, but they're both going to play. They're both going to play and the potential of these two really coming out and being speed demons off the edge excites me. Dev, how do you feel about this? This is one that jumped off the screen for me when I was reading that nugget. Yeah, it is a very interesting one, man, but you know, and I've heard the same type of dynamic with the battle that's going on between these guys. But I think you're looking at two different types of defense events here. You're looking at a 260 pounder and a 240 pounder, 62, 240, 65, 260. So I think I'm not so sure they're, you know, I think it just depends on, you know, what type of front we're going to be running. I know that Matty Peace probably going to do a lot of penny fronts this year, five down and having to stand up blind back from curious to see if that's just Quarersaw or if it's Christian Ali Egro. But all, all signs are pointing towards Zion Grady right now who has just took it up a notch.

35:36He played as a freshman. He was the number three defensive in at the end of the season last year coming off the bench. People are trying to throw a bow acotince name in there. He gained a lot of weight in the all season as well, but I mean the conversation I have had is, you know, Zion Grady is up there as well. Epi is also in this battle as well, but Zion Grady just seems to be, you know, leading the charge there, but Quarersaw at the same time is just an actual healthy athletic freak right now. And that can't go unnoticed. So very intrigued about how you use these guys. And if you see these two players on the field at the same time this year, I'm intrigued about that. Yeah, and real quick, that a question and a comment and I'll make the comment after my question, you can answer. Do you know how much weight Zion Grady gained from last season to now? That's the question.

36:37And number two, with his weight, even with the weight that you gave, because I'm wanting to see was their increase because to me, I saw speed out of Zion Grady last year. I remember he got he ran down. I think it was a running back in the flat. And I was surprised at how fast he got out there, because I know he's not like a smaller twitchy guy. So I guess my question is based off the speed I saw in film, how much weight did he gain if any? And I'm wondering if that's going to slow him down and just make him a strong side defensive end type of guy, because I saw some good quickness out of him off the edge, Dev. Yeah, I mean, what I was told, he's one of those players that you might look at him and see these different, but there wasn't that much weight added, because he was playing at 255, 260 last year. So we're talking about, I think I was told he gained eight pounds, you know, but you're not talking about a epi gained, I think 15 to 20 pounds. You know what I'm saying? Like epi was a 240 something and now he's closer to 260 Zion was kind of already there.

37:43So I think they just worked on his body kind of like it can yada Jackson, what they did with him. So yeah, I don't think he gained much weight at all. Got you Nevada wants you to weigh in on this, this battle between these two. Well, first of all, on the weight issue, like yesterday, I, I had like care at kick for lunch, you know what I'm saying. And then I had dinner and then my boys are like late. It's like midnight and they're like, hey, it's good to stay in shake. And I went there and I had a shake on top of that. So I think I gained four pounds in this whole weight thing just in a single day or something like that. There's this eight pounds or in the off seat and 15 pounds. This guy's got this guy's got nothing on me, man. I'm telling you what do you want to gain some weight and do some over a chamber hang out with the back. We got to get you in there with Mick. He needs to know your strategy, man. My strategy is to eat whatever I feel like eating and yeah, man, I thought those shakes at midnight. Those were bad though. You should never do those. That's the bad kind of way to think. But I digress.

38:45Let me look, look, the Alabama kids James Smith and Claire saw have both been terrific. And I mean, just think about our history with Alabama transfers in general. It's been very positive. And I just think these are going to be another two kids that, you know, I don't know how excited people are about them. But I think they should be very excited because I think they can, they both absolutely look the part. And they certainly have opened eyes and people are talking about them. At Ohio State. And I think they're going to be big contributors in 2026. But it should be no surprise because it's Alabama, man. I mean, those kids that out, you know, they've got players there, just like we do. They've got players that I think these are two really good. Gets for a high state. And I know map nutrition staff are very excited about them. Zion Grady's in Alabama got to three up. There you go. Yeah, good reminder. Strawberry shake sounds good. Yeah, I just told my wife the other day that I haven't had a shake in a while.

39:51Like I'm like, I need a shake. Oh, I think we lost about it. We'll get them back in a second. Maybe he went to go get a shake real quick. And another stake. You know, he likes to eat ribeye states during the park as. But yeah, I need to get me a stake and a shake, but not from stake and shake because that wouldn't meet up to the standards, but you know what I mean. But we'll get Nevada back in a second, but there was at least one more I wanted to bring up in this position battle, a couple of names that kept popping up. And let me stop sharing my screen. And then we'll get Nevada back when he there he is. Hold on. Nevada, are you back, sir? Nevada, you dare. I was stake and shake calling me and they wanted to come back for another strawberry shake. And I'm like, OK, I'll do that. I'll be there. I'll be there in 30 minutes guy. So I got like 30 minutes left. And then I got to go have another shake. It's they're so good.

40:52They need to start paying us for talking about them on this. They're so good. They're so they're so tasty. Hey, real quick. Do you guys in your in your areas of where you live? Do you have a place called Shake Shack? Yeah. OK, that's a national. I don't think the shakes are very good at Shake Shack. That's my personal opinion. But I know it might be a minority view. But like you know, when your name is Shake Shack, you think you're shakes. You've got your shakes, but like your shakes better just like be fantastic. And I like Johnny Rockets better than that. I like, you know, Johnny Rockets is good. Johnny Rockets has got some great shakes, but the burgers and stuff. Maybe yeah, but the shakes are outstanding. Yeah, I have a had Johnny Rockets in the mid. I think we got one Johnny Rockets here over by what's the movie theater by by campus. I used to go linux linux theater. We got one over there. But Nevada, we just got a shake Shack. Hey there. It's Ryan Seacrest for Safeway cold weather can wreak havoc on your skin.

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.

43:04That's pretty awesome. I think I saw Billboard years recently that said 20 billion won. 20 billion is an 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 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 or our call centers always waiting to take your call. 24-7-365. Wow, Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's largest injury law firm. Thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit forthepeople.com for an office near you. What has it been four years? It's still new-ish to Columbus. So that's why I'm wondering if y'all had it because I've never had her. Actually, have I heard it before that? I don't think I heard it before they came to Columbus. They came in 2019. So it's year seven.

44:06But that's still new. But anyway, listen, again, y'all got me talking about food. I want some diagonal. I want a shake now. I thought good at Del Taco, man. You can get shake. I still haven't worked my way. They got shakes at Del Taco too. And fries and burgers and yeah, yeah. Wow. I know. It's really all sorts of all sorts of goodness all in one place, man. I'm not going to lie, man. I make milkshakes. Not a lot. But when I eat milkshakes, I make them here at the house. They're great. They're great. You guys want to send you on or you want to try it? How do you want to do that? They haven't got the gator, the gator shakes. Like that. Maybe the first gator eggs living to that. What do you, anything secret that you put in beyond the normal stuff to make your shake? No, I, now I do do this. I, I freeze milk, like in ice cube tray. And then I put chocolate, chocolate ice cream in with a little bit of liquid milk and the frozen ice cubes, milk ice cubes.

45:19And I blended up and it gives you like chunky, like it's like a chunk of frozen milk. I love milk, though. So I'm weird. I guess that's definitely different. I wouldn't have made it that way. So I might have to steal that and see what's up. Yeah. You know, but again, you know, it's just funny. I'm looking at the chat now. Some, some people are going after you, we're not after you, Nevada, but they're saying Del Taco is yuck and nasty dude. Oh, yes, there's the same people that like, oh, I don't like it. And out burger, you know, burger socks. Like, oh, yeah, man, Del Taco rocks, man, they'll talk to us so good. It's like, it's a Christmas people. Yeah, there's the same Swiss people together. Yeah, it is. There's been people that do stuff. It's the same like it is like in and out slander, man. The people that don't have it, they slander it because they're like, Oh, I don't like it because it's not around. Well, don't listen. Don't talk to us. I'm a tried Del Taco regardless. I'm regardless. I'm going to try. It's on my list. But you mentioned in and out. I've had in and out. I think in and out was really good. I don't, I don't know if I might do five guys over in and out, depending on how my appetite.

46:32But here's the thing with in and out though in five guys, but you got to compare. You can get two hamburgers in and out for the price of one. I'm five guys. So like, you got there's a there's a value thing that kind of goes into the equation too. Cause like a double double in and out is like seven bucks or something like that. And you get that at five guys, it's $15, $16. So every time I got a five guys, I feel like somebody's going in my wallet and is ripping money out of my wallet and doing I feel like I'm being ripped off. So I think I think you got to equate. So you got to put the value thing in there too. And real quick, you know how good in and out burger is to a lot of people. Guess who just went to in and out burger after winning an Oscar, Michael B Jordan. See, he could have went anywhere and he went to in and out and it's all over social media. So it can't be that bad. I mean, you know, no, no. So all right. So we are in and out of the topic. So let's jump back in.

47:32You like that? Oh my gosh. That was beautiful. That was beautiful. Chef's kiss. So listen, I want to talk about these two names and we can move on and to something else, but these names keep coming up, especially this one name. And this young man right here with the golden smile. Look at that hair, right? He's much more meaner on the field than he looks in his picture. Trust me. This is Peyton Pierce. So in the nugget talking about first of all, shout out to Raleigh Petty John talks about how sources continue to bring him up, being out most of the spring, you know, with his injury. You know, but other guys have been able to step in Raleigh Petty John is not going to be talked about as much right now because he's injured. He is one of the top guys. He he flashed last year. He hit somebody with a captain in St. Old Power Drive tackle last year. You know, captain in St. Old Hill, no mercy. That captain in St. Old.

48:32So he's going to be really good, but he's injured right now. Peyton Pierce, he played a lot. You know, considering he wasn't a starter, but he was in a rotation. So fellas, Nevada, let's start with you. What you hear about Peyton Pierce, what you think about that update. And do you think he is going to get the green dot for those who don't know green dot is the guy with the mic in his helmet, calling the defense, talking to the coaches, lining everybody up Nevada. Well, I just look at the, I mean, if you just look at recent history and you look at a guy like Arville Reese, who kind of like the year before last, you know, played a bunch, but you know, wasn't the starter per say, you know what I'm saying, but played a bunch flash when he played. Did his thing and then this year has gone on to become like he's from Krypton or something like that and going to make, you know, $100 million in the NFL. I mean, I think there's a reason why Peyton got as much time as a devastor on that great defense. And that was a great defense, make no mistake. They played him a ton.

49:32So to me, that's all that I need to know about Peyton Pierce, you know, on top of, you know, hearing the good things from people and everything. If you played that much on that team, you're a baller. And so I fully expect him to have a break out in that move from being kind of a novelty item to a household name. I think he's going to be a household name by the end of 2026. And real quick, dev sunny styles called him out at the NFL combined y'all. I asked who is next and sunny style set Peyton Pierce. So you can't get a more of an endorsement from a, from a class five mutant like sunny styles, right? So I mean, I'm going to be looking out for him, dev. What you got? Yeah, I mean, I think Nevada brought up a good point. Remember, Arville Reese didn't play much, but then came out and now he's going to be a top 10 draft pick Peyton Pierce. So a lot of people for some reason want to act like he's not that athletic, not that fast, all those things. But it's just like, well, yeah, when you compare him to Arville Reese and sunny styles, I'm pretty sure every linebacker on this roster, you're going is lacking in that regard.

50:41If you're going to compare into those two guys, but Peyton Pierce is going to be, I mean, 100% starting linebacker. And I think he's green dot worthy for sure. This linebacker room isn't a drinking part of that nugget was talking about Christian and the Wisconsin transfer and Riley Petty John. Yeah, that's the first thing I heard in these winter workouts because as winter workouts not football still the players know, right? My backers coming in Riley and TJ both know he's coming in. There's only one spot there Peyton Pierce has the other spot. So are there some very intense battles between those two and winter workouts as much as you can battle and workouts they push that competition in those workouts. That's why I think you see a lot of these guys coming out looking the way they look. I mean, look with Riley Petty John, I mean, just looks like an absolute monster right now. And he was injured. So his injury is not that wild. People are like, write them off, but it does hinder his ability.

51:46Obviously in the spring can't do everything everybody's gone, but you know, another one hiding right behind those guys not far at all is TJ Alfred. I just love what you know coach Lord Knight has done with this linebacker room man. You can't replace Sonny and Orville individually. But when you combine Peyton Pierce, Christian Ali Egro, TJ Alfred, Riley Petty John, all on by the way, Garrett Stover got iron buck high. I don't know what that means. I'm very curious to see how this linebacker room looks as well, but based off workouts, I test what we're hearing. I've got some dogs in the linebacker room curious to see how it shakes out. Yeah, Alfred looks department. He's fat. Again, I know, I know it's early, but he looks Jerome Baker is to me, man. He just does. I don't know if he's quite as fast as Jerome Baker, but he don't look slow. I mean, he looks like a sideline, a sideline, fast, twitchy, run downhill, hit you with bad intentions type of dude.

52:51So yeah, I cannot wait to see how these guys blossom and who steps up, but I definitely believe James Larry Knight has definitely got some dogs in this room. And it's just only a matter of time for them to step up Nevada. Any response to that? Well, no, I just look, I think it's one of those. It is a situation where, you know, you're going to the best players are going to play. You know that whether it be young guy, whether it be transfer guys or whatever it is. And I'm just, I think that the spring, this spring, you've got more guys out. So more guys are going to have an opportunity to play and you get more stuff for the transfers. So I think it's just going to be, you know, we're going to take it one thing at a time, but the, with these, you know, the practices with the strategies with what's going on here, but we're going to learn a lot. We're going to know a lot going to the fall, but I think our team is going to look a lot different in the fall because we have so many different guys are out this spring. You know what I'm saying? Like it's one of those things where I'm not even sure, you know, you know, I think the young guys are going to give a chance to shine.

53:54The new guys are going to get chance to come in and do the thing. But for Ohio State, you know, I mean, how do you evaluate that against a guy like a Riley Petagion? I'm just not going to play, you know, this spring ball because of injury, you know, like, you know, how does that, how does that affect him in the fall? I don't know what's going to be that much. I think they know what they have in Riley, but I just think, you know, this spring. This is, this might be the most interesting spring that we've ever had for me just because of the number of transfer guys and the number of guys out, you know, from the fall. So I think it's wide open and it's certainly going to be exciting to see. It is, it is. And so, you know, I'm going to be at the spring game and all that. I'm going to be at the practices soon. So I want to see these guys in person. I have not seen Alfred in person. Actually, hey there. It's Ryan C. Cress for Safeway. Are you looking for a refresh this spring?

What'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 won. 20 billion is an insane number.

56:07Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think, somewhere north probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. 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. It's pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7-365. Wow, Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's largest injury law firm. Thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. What is it for the people dot com for an office near you? I think I have been out of clothes. Try to remember last year when I went. I've seen some guys up, like up close, like, shook their dapped them up. And some I didn't. I want to try to see. Dev, try to make it happen is Duke is Duke going to be at the spring game this year? Do you know? He'll probably be at the spring game. He's not going to be at any of the scrimmages they have beforehand.

57:09But I imagine. Yeah, he'll be at the spring game. Yeah. If he's going to be there, I want to link up with him. I want to meet him if possible. You will for sure. Yeah. Yeah. So that's cool. But anyway, I'm saying it to say. Some of these guys seeing them in person is a whole different animal. When you consider their speed, their ability, and you see them in person. Oh, wow. He's bigger than I thought. Or he's, you know, Christian, uh, been a Christian, um, was one of those guys who I was like, Yo, this dude is a massive beast. Like he's big. He really six six. Is he six six? Listen, look, I am all of six four. Some people think I'm six five. Okay. Yeah. Yes. He is. And he's strong. I didn't know that either. Yes. Even when they were doing blocking drills, his punch was very lineman-like. I mean, you know, he, he's, he just looks like a monster out there. Now, hopefully he takes another step of production this year. Claire is gone. He'll have an opportunity. But I'm saying that's just one of the many examples of seeing him up close.

58:11And being able to say, dang, this dude is, is huge. So, um, so anyway, anyway, anything else on son of position battles before we kind of close out with a quick little story. Uh, and what can we do with our fight? Slash update. Fellows. Uh, Devanka. Uh, I just don't even look, they think, you know, we talked about linebackers. Obviously, we talked about the running back position. Uh, you know, wide receive. You know, tight end. Um, we have a little bit there on what I'm. Hunter hunter, uh, Hunter Welching being a guy that is an angel, look out for I don't know how excited. People are about the tight ends. But you know, tight ends, I keep hearing it's going to be a. a two tight end set for our state. This is gonna be a pro style, more like the Rams, not 13 personnel, not 14 personnel, but I think they like the versatility they can get with two tight ends and I think Hunter Walchee and the guy that could play early. Yeah, I like it. I mean, we have a history of success with 12 personnel.

59:13I mean, go back and look at our tight ends from Hyramin and Vanette. And I keep, I always forget the other kids name. I went to Jacksonville, but he was a really good, was it Hossman, Jake, like what was his name? Somebody helped me, but he was a really good blocking tight end back when we had JK Dobbins. And, but anyway, 12 personnel has worked well for us with just our attack, helping the, you know, to block especially if we're gonna run more wide zone this year, which it sounds like we will, selling the edge with your tight ends, stud blocking tight ends is critical. Think about, think about the National Championship against Oregon in 2015. Remember, Nevada, I know you remember the WAM block. We had Hyramin coming in and WAM block, and I believe he was WAM block in the linebacker. I gotta go back and watch the film, it's fuzzy. That was almost 10 years ago. But the point is having stud tight ends who could come in and help in the run game is massive.

1:00:16And so, and then of course, if they can catch two, then that's obviously great. But I think Arthur Smith wants to really utilize our tight ends in the run game, open the run game up, and just from there unleashed them at an opportune time to be threats downfield as well. But anyway, anything on that day before we move on to the last thing? No, yeah, Hunter Welsing is a name. He's a friend of the channel man had him on here, but he's one that caught a lot of people's eye, especially route running, catching passes. So kind of replacing that max player type of threat. A lot of people talk about Nate Roberts. Hunter Welsing is the name right now anyway. And the wide receiver position I was told if you had to pick who's gonna play beside JJ and Brandon in his right now, the answer is Devon McQuinn, the UTSA transfer very fast, looking the part very comfortable. And then the final name I'm gonna throw out there is we got two corner transfers, Cam Calhoun and Dominic Kelly.

1:01:18Obviously got Jermaine Matthews and Devon Sanchez as the starters, but Dominic Kelly. And that goes against kind of what I've been reading everywhere. I've been reading Cam Calhoun's looking like the number three corner super early, but it's not what I'm being told. I'm being told Dominic Kelly is looking like a player that they're gonna have to find a role for in some way on this team this year. So we'll see. Yeah, we shall. All right, let me pull this up real quick. Just a little, we gonna touch on this real quick. I thought it was funny, but it's also facts. Shout out to the homie in Trendsick. He posted this. It says Michigan senior citizen head coach wanted to stay at Utah, but they stripped his responsibilities. Essentially phasing Calhoun waiting him out and pushing him to a lesser program, recovering from a slew of crimes, cheating and cover-ups. I love that caption. So this is from Yahoo Sports.

1:02:18And it says, but before Wittingham resigned from Utah and long before he accepted a Michigan job, he attempted to remain as coach in Salt Lake City. However, in the week following, the end of Utah's regular season, a string of emails between Wittingham's agent Bruce Toner and school administrators outline start. So the article talks about how Wittingham wanted to stay and Utah was like, not we'll buy you out so you can bang out peace we've done here. And so I made a meme, of course, for in Trendsick. And this is a Michigan fan grabbing the trash can at their scraping the the food off of. Well, yeah, go blew our first choice, baby. Was it your first choice? Listen, we like Calhoun waiting him, but he's a little, little far in his career. If this was Calhoun waiting him 10 years ago, I mean, about essay, yo, okay, you might have you won. But this is a transition coach in our opinion, just because of where he's at in his career. Great guy, really good coach in general,

1:03:19as far as his overall resume, but Utah, they had a chance to keep him and they said, now we good. So Nevada, what's your thoughts on this? Well, I've already heard from people close to Wittingham that the whole discipline thing at Michigan kind of isn't what, like they won't allow him to discipline the players the way that he wants to. And so it's a whole different thing. So I do not believe he'll be long for the job. Obviously, that's not a hot tick for a guy that's 87 years old or whatever it is. But, you know, yeah, no, I mean, clearly, he's a guy who'd lost his fastball. He's a guy that was really well thought of for a long time. It was very revered up there at Utah, not the same guy. So the guy, you know, it's kind of like looking at, you know, Raquel Wilch when she was like 21 and you look at her when she's like 65 and you're like, you know, this is not the same person, but it's not the same person, you know what I'm saying? That's kind of how it is with, with, with Kyle Wittingham.

1:04:23He's not the same guy that he was before. And, and, and now he can't even discipline the Michigan players the way he wants to. So this is, this is going to be a very interesting experiment. Indeed, Devon, what you got, bro? Yeah, I mean, Kyle as a coach, when the, you know, I thought it was a good hire, good coach, all those things, but the one aspect to this that threw me off is that story of him retiring or him getting fired and whatever it was, there was a little bit of confusion there, right, and of course, when it all was said and done, you know, they were like, well, he just, he wanted to go coach at Michigan, you know what I'm saying, but I feel, I didn't believe that when the first came out. So to hear this, not too surprising to me, honestly, I mean, but that was the intriguing part where this could go an opposite direction for them, is if he was a guy that was losing a little bit, Utah didn't want him, or he was at the end, kind of the end of it here, and all these changes in college football or just kind of overwhelming to him, you know,

1:05:25kind of had an inkling that could also be in the cards, but we'll have to see, you know, it would take a very special coach to walk into a program like that and succeed. So I'm not sure how many coaches there are in the nation that could with what they got going on there. I wanted to mention one more thing, a little bit off topic B, let me know when I can do that. Go ahead. I want to shout out RJ Day, man. RJ Day played for SFE at OT7 with CJ Cipher, CJ Cipher's probably going to be number one overall player in the 2029 class, quarterback from Georgia, but RJ Day, man, lighten it up seven on seven. I just seven on seven Ryan Day was there in Miami for the OT7 event. I went to it last year, couldn't go this year, but RJ Day was killing it, man, lighten it up. So I wanted to give him a shout out. So real quick, I have a prediction, Nevada, Dev, Chat,

1:06:29World, I have a prediction. You ready to hear it? Let's go. Here's my prediction, OK? RJ Day and two years were portal to Ohio State. You heard it here first. GMOs is dropping. Oh, man, he's going to kill it. He's going to kill it at his respective school he commits to and he's going to transfer to a Ohio State. I played with Papa. The day boys out there just cooking. You're just trying to up my Julian saying, Nugget, I had earlier, man, that's all you're trying. I had to one up you. Is that a one up or not? That's pretty impressive. It is. That's up there. Because the thing is, yes, still he met. He's improving a lot. Like the trajectory he's on, he has a chance to be a really good quarterback. I'm just saying you just never know. You never know. All right, let's get to these super chats, man.

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 that $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 in 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. 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, three, sixty five. Wow, Dan Morgan. From Morgan and Morgan, America's largest injury law firm. Thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit forthepeople.com for an office near you. Stilly Matt, thanks for the one and nine.

1:09:34Swiss Miss Moses golf. I like that one too. Pro Dev and Nova Scotia Buck. Stilly Matt is the goat with nicknames on the spot. Nobody does it better than stilly Matt. I like it. What you got, Dev, you like that? I like it, man. I like the little golf symbol there. I'm all of a sudden a pro. No, I'm not, I'm not compared to me. You are, okay. What you got, Nevada, you, you, well, you always, you know, the Nova Scotia Buck. That's, that's the thing. I am that, that's definitely one of that, that's old school. I like it. And I like the fact that the Swiss Miss thing is going to hang with you there because you are kind of a, you are kind of a Swiss Miss kind of guy, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, it definitely has hung with me. But again, I was rebuked by Ryan Day himself or those who have not seen this, this is live footage of me out in the snowstorm drinking my hot cocoa with way too much whipped cream for the average person. No, no, that was, that's a perfect amount of whipped cream.

1:10:38So, and this is something else I want you all to notice about this picture. Can y'all zoom in? Do y'all see the cup I'm holding? Can y'all see the people on this cup? Can anybody see that? This little fun fact, Dev or Nevada? Can y'all see that? Yes, yep, I can. Yeah, who's on the cup? I don't, I can't answer that question. Okay, it looks like, it looks like I can doll for something like that. So, so listen, quick story. That is DJ Jazzy Jeff you see with the glasses on. Oh, DJ Jazzy Jeff. That is, yes. And that is Ashley next to him. And that is me Photoshopped at the bottom. So listen, real quick, I posted, you know, I edit and Photoshop and do stuff. A few years ago with a Fresh Prince, they had a reunion show. Anybody remember that? They had a reunion show. And they had a picture online where all of them were together for the reunion and I loved Fresh Prince.

1:11:40So I went and I edited it and put myself on the picture. And it kind of went many viral, got a lot of laughs on my Facebook. My mother-in-law, who's very thoughtful for Christmas, got me a cup made with that Photoshopped picture. So that's me drinking out of that cup. I love that cup as my favorite cup. But I wanted to share that story because I just love the whole story. But anyway, again, I know that was like crazy, whatever, but y'all, whatever, you just go listen to my stories. Anyway, it was a great story. It was great. Thank you. Okay. Well, Will was being hustled by the pool hustler and then the dad came and pulled out a stick and did the pool thing and won the pool game. I mean, that's one of my favorite episodes because Uncle Phil, he said, he said, Jeff Fright, new seal. Yeah, he said, he gave me a little seal. And dude, look, that is like, what?

1:12:40And just start putting body and do. That was a great episode. But I love Fresh Prince. I'm a Fresh Prince guy. So anyway, anyway, let's get back on topic another in and out burger right there. We gotta get back on it. All right, we'll be gotten next. Okay, still be mad. Thanks for the 199. What's worse, the Hammer or the Axe? Let's ask Thor. I think about Thor, like when you saw it, when I saw that comment, I thought about Thor and it wasn't in game. It was the one before in game. Was it called Infinity Wars. Remember, bring me Thanos and he had the Axe and came down with it. That Axe was fire. I don't know, dad, what's your response to that? What's worse, Ham or Axe? I immediately, this is the way my brain works. I immediately thought, if I put my hand down on the table, whenever there's somebody smash it with a hammer or hit it with an Axe, I think I'm going to go with the Axe, it'd be a nice clean cut.

1:13:42It'd be a nice clean cut, you know what I mean? The smash, dude, that would hurt. You know, I don't think you repair that. You know, a big ol' sledge hammer just smashed down and it had to cut it off anyway. So just cut it off now. So you want the Jamie Lannister work then. That's what you want. You want the Jamie Lannister and Nevada. That's what he wants. A clean cut. Yeah, just a nice clean cut. Nevada, what you got? I don't understand why they didn't just let Captain Marvel who's got the power of the sun just take out all that stuff and I'm playing with that. I mean, you got Hawkeye out there shooting arrows and doing a bunch of different stuff like that. And I'm like, you got Captain Marvel's got the power of the sun. And he was just like raking fools. They get it all set back and I Captain Marvel will do the work, right? That's a good point. That's a good point. Who can just freeze time and who's that guy? We're strange. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, no, it's Marvel. See, you know, these riders, they can do whatever they want to do

1:14:46and they can emit whatever they want. Like they can just leave stuff out for the sake of their narrative and they can add stuff. Oh, they didn't die because in this galaxy, they were alive. You don't be like, whatever, but it was entertaining. That's all that matters, I guess. But fair question, Nevada, I think that's very fair. Stilly Matt, thanks again for the 199. Lady Buckeyes played Notre Dame Monday at the shot. Yep, I definitely saw that. So Gold Lady Buckeyes, I saw a highlight from I forget the young lady's name, but she did a nice little euro step in the paint like jute this way and then came back with the shots. Okay, all right, then. So yeah, Gold Lady Bucs, hopefully they can make the sweet 16, anything on that dev or Nevada. Now excited. If you were a woman's basketball player at your age right now, how good would you be? Would you be like best woman's basketball player in the world right now? Would you be like a WNBA player? Would you be like Olympian? I'm talking about right now, be Moses,

1:15:48just drinking your Swiss fish, hot chocolate, heading right off the bench, going out there. How good of a woman's basketball player are you right now? I've said this before, I would be Joanna Man. Has anybody seen the movie Joanna Man? I mean, just unstoppable buckets. I mean, just ridiculous. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, ladies, but it just wouldn't be fair. So, so there's that. I feel the same way and I'm only 5'11. I feel the same way. Yeah, maybe I shouldn't say that, never mind. I mean, bro, I'm talking about like coming down court, throwing it off the backboard and dunking it. I mean, just like crazy clown and like, I'm sorry, Susie and Katie. I gotta, I gotta kill you right now, sorry. But yeah, that's what it would be. That's my final answer. All right. Final answer, final answer, be Moses, greatest ones basketball player. Well, we've settled, that's settled five as far as I'm concerned. Now, my email is already blowing up right now from complaints of, you know.

1:16:52But after you, would you have to do any training first? Because for me, dude, I would just be so wore out after like three or four times down the court. You think you just run out there right now? No, no, I would need, I would need to get in shape to be fair. Yeah, okay. But okay, put like this. If I just ran out there now, it wouldn't be 35 and eight. It would be more like 27 and six. You know what I'm saying? But we're gonna get trouble. We're gonna get trouble. All right, I'll stop. Let's move on. Because I'm already gonna get, okay. Dear Mr. Moses. Dear Ricky. This podcast. You're a misogynistic person. Woo. What would your wife and your daughter think? Okay, listen to this one. All right. Can't smell misogynistic. I'll be Moses. Moses. Moses. Oh, Jesus. I'll get myself in trouble. I love you. Oh. This is just entertainment. Okay. Entertainment. The people, the people are enjoying it. So anyway, speaking of entertainment, Nevada's gonna,

1:17:53actually, no, let's do this first. Nevada loves strawberry Oreo shakes. Is that true? I, that's my favorite shake. And so I like that's why Johnny Rockets, you know, they do the strawberry and the Oreo. Oh, I've had that. That is the best, man. I'm gonna have to try that. Yeah, absolute, absolute the best. I'm gonna have to try that. What's your favorite shake, Dave? I'm chocolate straight up chocolate. See, I'm a Oreo. I'm just straight Oreo. I love Oreo shakes, but I'm, I'm gonna try to strawberry Oreo. Yeah, that sounds fantastic. So good. All right. So I would not tolerate this land or geodit. Thanks for the five. Today is Sunday and pixels is still bad. It is not. Sick bad. It is phenomenal. It is a five star family movie. It is the best movie. Did you, did you, Terry and Lancaster's in pixels? I'm not a New Yorker. How can you not like a movie with Terry and Lancaster?

1:18:53I'd say this just, I totally agree with you there being. I mean, he's clever. I mean, he's just confounding the ghosts in that. I guilty of being your son. Remember that part? Remember that part? That was awesome. Remember, he challenged Pac-Man to trial by combat. Remember that? I remember that. Excellent movie. No, passed out, passed out whatever stood up for him. And I would have faked him. I would have faked him, but I would have faked him. Oh, man. That is crazy. And then, of course, silly Matt, Geo did off the top row with the pixels slander. It is what it is, man, whatever. Y'all can hate all you want. pixels is almost as good as snakes on a plane. Almost. Not quite there. Hey, Snakes on a plane was hilarious. Snakes on a plane is one of those movies, Nevada, that you that wasn't supposed to be your comedy, but ends up being a comedy, like Baby Boy. Has anybody seen Baby Boy? Okay. Have you seen Baby Boy? I saw Baby Boss. I didn't see Baby Boy. Boss Baby. I didn't see Baby Boy.

1:19:53Boss Baby. Boss Baby. Listen, Baby Boy is one of those hood classic movies, okay? It is not a great movie, but it's a great hood classic movie. It's a movie that BET, you know, Black Entertainment Television, okay? BET. BET. BET. They're famously known for overplaying Baby Boy. Like they literally would play it every day. It's been some years since they've done it. They would be like on rerun. Anyway, it has Snoop Dogg in it. It has Cuba Gooding Juniors brother in it. It has Tyrese Gibson in it and Teraji in it. And it's like, it was supposed to be a serious movie, but to me, there's some hilarious parts. Anyway, if you want to kill time one day, watch Baby Boy. I think you might like it. There you go. All right. What we got, last Super Chat here, Geo did thanks for the five. And JJ singles out legend Bay for being impressive. You know, legend Bay has a lot of juice, definitely. And we talked about that last week, Geo did, hey, there it's Ryan Seacrest for Safeway cold

1:21:59Say 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 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.

Thanks for having me. Visit forthepeople.com for an office near you. I mean, listen, I know some people are like, yo, pump the brakes, pump the brakes.

1:23:02We don't want to, you know, listen, we can't control it. Jeremiah Smith, the thing about it is, fellas, and you can tell me how you feel about this. And it comes to hype. Where does hype come from? Hype maybe comes from, you know, scouts, recruiting agencies, maybe film, maybe a guy leaps over somebody and buzz keeps going. But it's one thing to have hype coming into high school. And then the hype continuing when you get on the field with other monsters and the head coaches come comparing you to Tyrick Hill. And then Jeremiah, you see what I'm saying? So to me, it's getting to another level of just hype. Now he has to cash in and live it out. But it's just like, it's just, is what it is, man. And I'm excited. I think barring he stays healthy, he's, we're going to see some things this year that, like, yo, this kid is nice at the very minimum, Deb, do you agree what you think about my explanation on hype? Yeah, no, I agree too.

1:24:03And on top of the players, I mean, you got Ryan Day calling him a poor man's Tyrick Hill. You know what I'm saying, Ryan Day, you know, there's select few players that he, you know, the JJ stuff, I mean, there's a few Devon Sanchez comments, there's, you know, there's select players that they say things like this about. And I would say that, you know, just based off those two, one played both of them playing as freshmen, probably listen, especially when players and coaches and he's wearing the number two, you know, there's a long way to go. We know that. But the physical ability is all the way there. What you got on the bottom, I agree, like, you know, it's, it's kind of, you know, any more, I just listen to who the players are talking about and when the players are talking about them, then that's definitely, you know, some of you got to pay attention to and, you know, offensively, it's, it's been a lot about legend, and so, you know, to me,

1:25:05that's not recruiting hype because frankly, it wasn't the highest recruited guy we had or, I mean, he had a neat recruiting story, but, I mean, he's done it since he's been impressive since he's been on the field out there with Ohio State, he's been impressive, you know, since he set foot on the campus. So he's definitely a guy, I absolutely believe the hype is real and I know Ohio State is reevaluating how they're going to approach things in offense to fit his unique abilities. And that really says something to me. Absolutely, another excuse for me to pull up Legend Bay clips. I love it. Mentioned Legend Bay, I'm going, I'm pulling it up immediately. So yeah, again, he's the closest thing to Braxton Miller that we've had since Braxton Miller, in my opinion, his twitchiness, his breakaway speed, his, his, his ability to even break tackles. Braxton didn't get enough credit for breaking tackles sometimes. And what else was I was going to say about legend? Yeah, I mean, I guess that's it. I mean, I'm excited about the kid. Yes, that's what I was going to say.

1:26:07My only concern is is he going to prove to his position coach, the maniacal in a good way, Carlos Lacklin, that he can have ball security, high in tight young fella, high in tight. Now, Dev, I heard you mention this, I think on a post or something and I agree with you. As far as him being able to pass pro stuff like that, but I think they can, he'll have to work on that. But if his, if his dynamic ability, along with ball security is so great, they'll work him in there to where he won't be exposed. If he's not good at that, just to get him on the field. But obviously he'll need to keep improving at that to take one on a bigger role down the line. But if he's just so dynamic, they'll get him in regardless. But yes, ball security, pass pro, he has to excel at that to really be where he needs to be. And so the pass pro thing that I'm like, right now, I don't know how good he would be

1:27:11at that because he's playing quarterback in high school. You know, Bo Jackson, Bo Jackson wasn't the best at pass pro either. He was a thousand yard back, you know, I'm saying like he had to be taken out and CJ Donald to put in because he was getting destroyed in pass protection. So obviously that's not the end all do all here. Fledging Bay can't pass protect, but he's really dynamic. He's going to be on the field in some way, shape or form for sure for sure. So that'll be a balance. But so ball security will be number one to get him on the field and he'll chip away at the pass pro. Listen, let's go ahead and wrap her up. This was a great show. I was looking forward to this show. I'm always looking forward to the show, but we got dev back today. I was been a great weekend. I mean, you know, we we didn't win on Thursday, but that's done it over with. But still a great weekend. And so we got spring ball popping back up again this week. Nevada, any last thoughts before we bang out of here? Now spring ball coming up first, Trimidge going up. So lots of exciting things are going to go on and we'll have, we'll give you a front row seat here, like a scoop.

1:28:17For sure, real quick, let me slide this in. Zach, 374 things for the five. As far as speed, I believe legend is the next rocket isch mail. Wow, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. But for those who witnessed it, he was fast, fast, fast. Dev, do you remember rocket isch mail? Or how do you heard of him? Okay, yeah, Google him YouTube. And when you get a second, real speed Nevada, real quick. What do you think about that comparison? It's an interesting one. That is not a name that I've heard for a bit. So love the comparison and they, they certainly have similar, similar jatsome. And I hope that legend may get the chance for turn kicks like they lost it. Yes, me too, man. I hope so. Dev, any final thoughts before we get out of here? Man, I hope I don't say this every spring, but I can't remember being this excited for spring ball because of all these new players coming in, you know, transfer portal and freshmen. And also a lot of second year players and I'm just excited. We've got a lot of turnover, 51 new faces, new coaches, NCAA, by the way,

1:29:20I think change the rule to now 16 coaches can go on the road. Figure out that they're that in there. I think that's a new rule. I probably should have not done that at the end of the show. But anyway, excited about spring ball here. And we'll see you keep you guys updated like Nevada said. Got you. Yep, for sure, for sure, for sure. But anyway, listen, Buckeye Scoot family, as always, we appreciate you. We love you. You make this show great in the chat. If you are watching this show live, jump in the chat, man. It's a lot of fun. As you can see, I'm just laughing to myself. I had to keep myself from busting out laps sometimes from the hilarity. But yeah, good stuff. But anyway, we'll see y'all next time. Until then, go Bucs and peace. Hey there, it's Ryan C. Cress for Safeway.
