| 0:08.3 | Not only in my back, my voice is back. |
| 0:11.1 | Man, I appreciate the fellas for holding it down. |
| 0:14.0 | Life is chaos, but we're getting less chaos, chaotic. |
| 0:17.6 | Me and the fam are moving to a new house, And it has been more than I ever anticipated. Justine, just he and I've been grinding. Insane. So almost done though. Fuck Miami. I'm so glad Gimo's not at work today, bro. Fuck, man. He got the discord last night. I immediately left and went to bed before he even said hello, dude. |
| 0:38.9 | Miami looked good. |
| 0:54.3 | Dude, they did look good. They want a shootout, bro. And it's fucked up, bro, because I was ready for Miami, like before the game. But, you know, right before the game started, I was like, I got a root for Ole Miss. You know what changed it for me? Eli. Oh my God. I knew it. |
| 0:54.8 | I knew it. |
| 0:55.1 | See him at the... |

No, absolutely fucking not. No shot. Because Mendoza. Mendoza is not an NFL quarterback. He's not in first rounder. He is not very good. Mendoza skill set works in the NFL, though, like for a long, lengthy NFL career. |
