| 0:00.0 | So, as I said before the break, nothing good happens on a live stream. |
| 0:10.1 | We saw it a few weeks ago with AJ Brown with, what was it, Jankey Rondo, Twitch stream. |
| 0:17.1 | Is that what I can't remember? |
| 0:18.8 | I think it's the right words. |
| 0:20.7 | I never know if it's the |
| 0:21.4 | right order i think janky ronda is the name of the person but that's where that's where he said |
| 0:25.3 | if i'm on your fantasy team get rid of me and then that sparked oh that's so bad oh gosh yeah |
| 0:33.1 | right right but but it was him answering the question that resulted in like an eight-minute explanation, where, |
| 0:41.1 | remember I said, he's so selfless, he's willing to appear selfish to try to get the message across to the team that we got to make the offense better or we have no chance at repeating. |
| 0:52.2 | So that's one. |
| 0:57.1 | Here's another. Pooka Nakua, who's been in the NFL for three years now. And we've interviewed him a couple of times. Seems very mild-mannered, |
| 1:02.4 | fearless. He really is, because he had the Clark Kent glasses when we interviewed him last time. |
| 1:06.7 | He really is Clark Kent and Superman. Away from the field before, before this week, the impression he'd created is he's just a very quiet, soft-spoken, mild-mannered guy, and then he'll go out there. |
| 1:18.2 | And, I mean, he'll just, he's fearless, incredible the way he plays, welcomes all the contact that goes with it, even when the contact is with the ground. |
| 1:28.1 | He'll catch the ball and violently hit the ground and injure himself. |
| 1:31.1 | Now, he appeared on a Twitch stream with two guys I had never previously heard of, and sources |
| 1:36.1 | close to me tell me I don't want to know anything more about them. |
| 1:39.8 | But there's two issues that emerged. |
| 1:43.8 | The first one was the obvious low-hanging fruit as it relates to the game. |
| 1:48.0 | We're going to delve into that one initially. |
| 1:50.2 | This is Tua with some gratuitous shots that sound a lot like things that we've been saying about the quality of officials currently in the NFL. |
| 2:00.0 | Here's what he had to say. Do you think the raps be-hsend sometimes? Oh, 100%. I'm like, they had a, yes, the reps are the worst. Because there's just some of the rules aren't, and like, these guys want to be, these guys are lawyers and like, they want to be on TV too, brother. Like the game is, you don't think he's texting his friends in the group chat, like, yo, you guys just saw me your Sunday night football. Like, that was- No way. Like, that wasn't PI, like, but I called it. Seriously, they do that. I mean, these guys are normal human beings, too, bro. I mean, Nate's do a better job than them. Dude, I remind you joking, yeah. They do best their cheaters, bro. I don't care. If you say it, you get fined. |
