Milk Crates and Turntables. A Music Discussion Podcast
A highlight from Time Travel to 1994: A Journey into the Music and Movies of that year.
"Well, here we are, episode 119. And on this episode, myself in the wrecking tube, Mark Smith and Lou Colicchio from the Music Relish Show. We'll be talking about the year 1994, in music and movies I think, it's always interesting. So sit back, relax, break out your flannel shirt, your grungy jeans, and enjoy 1994 music. It was an interesting year, so I think you'll enjoy it. More interesting than what Todd Zauchman thinks it is. He thinks it's nothing, so we'll see. The KLFB studio presents Milk Crate and Turntables, a music discussion podcast hosted by Scott McLean. Now, let's talk music, enjoy the show. Thank you, Amanda, for that wonderful introduction, as usual. Welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends, and welcome to the podcast. You know the name, I'm not gonna say it. We're streaming live right now over Facebook, YouTube, Dlive, Twitch, and X, formerly known as Twitter, and I don't know how many other live platforms. Well, it's gonna be a good show tonight. It's gonna be an interesting show tonight. Yeah, 1994. As I said in the intro, my friend Todd Zauchman just absolutely sent me a text destroying the year 1994. Oh, I just looked up 1994, I don't know what you're gonna talk about, there's a few things and I don't know how you're gonna make a whole show out of it, and good luck with that, because that's how he talks. That's exactly how he talks. I'm just gonna do this, and you know, it's not gonna be a good, blah, blah, blah, blah. That's how he talks. Now, he'll deny that, and you'll never know if that's the way he talks or not. He'll just have to take my word for it. I'm Todd Zauchman, and I don't know about 1994. Well, enough about him. He'll probably be piping in pretty soon, but yeah, 1994, it's a good year. It was a good year for Mark Smith from the Music Rellers Show and Luke Colicchio from the Music Rellers Show. That's for damn sure. It was. What's up, gentlemen? It was a really good year. How you doing? I was just guessing. I figured for 94, listen, we were all younger, so it was better. It was a big year. Hey. So I have to stop right here. Dave Phillips, who's been watching the podcast from pretty much day one, Patty Yossi. Hi, Patty. Good evening. I love you. Dave Phillips, for the last couple of weeks, he's piped in at the end, and he's like, I missed it. Like something's changed. Ah, Tiffany Van Hill. That's my buddy. That's my buddy, Tiffany. She's one of the people that teaches me how to work with horses. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So. And she knows what she's talking about. She's modest, but she's very good at what she does. As are all of my friends and teachers, trainers, mentors from The Herd Foundation in Delray Beach, Florida. It's a nonprofit if you're in the mood to donate today. Look them up. Herd Foundation. Give us some money. Nah, I'm not going like that. No. No, we do. We help veterans. We help veterans, and so it's a good cause. But back to Tiffany. Yep. That's my buddy. Good evening. The Herd Foundation teaches us so much. That's right. That's right. Maybe I'll do a Herd Foundation podcast. You should. Since I'm pretty good at it. You're going to have horses on? What's the horse named after the cookie? Huh? Isn't there a horse named after a cookie? What are some of the horses' names? Oh, Fig Newton. Fig Newton. Yeah. Fig Newton. That's my boy. That's my boy. Good looking horse. Yes. Yes, he is. And we have Stitch. Fig Newton is a retired dressage horse, dancing horse, right? Echoes of Echo and the Bunny Men bring on the dancing horses. We have Stitch. He's a retired racehorse. We have Miss America. She's a retired jumper. Then we have two mini horses. We have Cinnamon. She was a cot horse. You know, pulls the kids around. As would be Sammy. Sammy's the one that looks like Kaja Gugu for you people from the 80s. Looks like Lamal. It looks like Lamal from Kaja Gugu. Gotta do. And he was saved from a kill pen. Yeah. But he's a mini, but he thinks he's a Clydesdale. What do they do with horses after that? Is that the proverbial glue factory? All right. You know what? Right away. Penalty box. Oh. He's raining on my parade. I'm in a good mood. Now I'm all bummed out. Thanks. You feel sad for the drummer now. This is going to be a horrible show now. Leave it to the drummer. Right, Mark? Leave it to the drummer. Get out. It's always the drummer's fault. That's right. See, Tiffany says, that does not exist past our gates, Lou. Because nobody wants to talk. Back to the penalty box. Great start to the show. Lou is just in a mood tonight. I think he's been hitting the whistle. What's going to happen? You're going to come back and it's going to be an empty chair. He's very ornery tonight. Right away. He's very ornery. All right. He's filling his oats, as they would say. Yeah. All right. Lou's back. I'm all right. I'm all right. Okay. Enough about horses, although I could now, at this point, talk about horses for two hours. I love it. I love it. But instead, gentlemen, first of all, how's things on the music relish show? You. Take it away, Lou. Sure. It's fine. It was such an awful show. I thought I said the wrong show for a second there. It's been nothing short of amazing. Don't jump over each other to answer that question. It's always fun. Last week was fun. We got knocked down a bit by Warner Brothers because we played a clip of an America song featuring Dan Peake. Yeah. You're going to watch that. Yeah. We talked through the whole thing, but Spotify is much cooler than YouTube. YouTube sucks like that. YouTube, they have a very strong algorithm. They can kiss my rosy red ass over that. That's right. You tell them, Lou. Fuckers. That's right. Get me kicked off YouTube. That's right. Let me see. John Morris, he was our shift commander. When I met him, I was, I think, a two striper, and he was what they called a butterbot. He was a second lieutenant, I believe. He said, tell them stories from the Nipah Hut in the Philippines. That's a big no. That's a whole other podcast, but they would never make it on the air. Just leave it at that. It's like a chain of Nipah Huts? No. It was a bar slash club called the Nipah Hut. Tell one story. No. They had a giant spaceship that would come down from the top. It's kind of like George Clinton in parliament. At the end of the show, this big spaceship came down from the top. Smoke. Like you said, parliament fucking pelican. Then the thing went open, and everyone would walk up and get up on stage, all those drunk GIs. Like, yeah, I'm going in the spaceship, and you go down these stairs, and you're in a fucking basement. I don't think it was a basement. It's like something from a fucking horror movie. How do you get out? And then somebody goes, this way, this way, go, go, go, go. That's the cleanest story I can tell you. It's the cleanest story I can tell you. Sounds like fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. I got a story for you off the air one of these days. So okay, music relish show's going good. Excellent. I just wanted to say, Lou brought up, he made the show. His segment on bad love songs. That will go down in history as some of the best podcasting ever. Bad love songs? Really bad love songs. The worst love songs of all time, like in rock. It's a deep vein. Is that something, is that like content I could probably like borrow with Perry Mind? Because I'd love to hear that list someday. We voted him off the board. We're no longer a false triumvirate democracy. Wait a minute. We toppled the AI monarchy. There's three of us on this one. Are you two going to overthrow me too? Are you like rebels? None of those stories you're told, no. They're wrecking too. Instead I'll start calling you the Sandinistas. The hostile takeovers. You go on podcasts just to take them over? Like Amiens took over the White House. Really, yeah. Yeah, we could do that. I would love to. Maybe next week we'll do, we'll take a break from the years and we'll do like a, kind of a jambalaya, you know, of stuff. Like throw some music news in there. We'll do some trivia. Maybe I'll come up with some questions for you guys. You could give us that deep vein of worst love songs ever. And it's funny, we noticed that several of them made everyone's list of worst love songs. So it's got to be universally bad. Okay. If everyone said that, that fucking song. Then there were a couple where I said I liked the song, but Lou and Perry were like, what? I'm always, you know, on the one side. Yeah, the one. When it falls into like that kind of metal, metal category, you have a soft spot. Air metal. Metal ballads. Oh my God. How I grew up. Yeah, yeah. As young as Ron Mark, you didn't have to deal with those 70s ones. Yeah, that's true. I did. This fucking guy. Blah. See what I mean? He's setting the bar high. Remember, this is how he talks. I don't think there's anything good about 1994. Blah. So he talks like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Yeah, well, an American Arnold Schwarzenegger. He talks like Arnold Schwarzenegger without the accent. We're going to pass the bar on this one. I am here. Let me see if you can entertain me. 1994. Blah. All right. So let's actually get right into 1994. Yeah. So we'll start on January 19th, 1994. Bryan Adams becomes the first major Western music star to perform in Vietnam since the end of the Vietnam War. Oh, shit. Bryan Adams. Bryan Adams, yeah. Wow. On January 21st to February, as it's spelled, the Big Day Out Festival takes place, again, expanding from those previous years. Blah, blah, blah. Auckland, New Zealand. The festival is headlined by Soundgarden, Ramones, and Bjork. Nice. That's an interesting... Probably each night there were headlines. I would love to see Bjork. Me too. I would never want to see the Ramones. They'll never get back together again. Unless they perform in the Pet Sematary. Yeah. Hey, Lou, can you put him in the green room? No, I'd like that one. That's a good one. Come on, there's a little crossover. Put him in the green room. Put him in the green room. Okay, yeah, yeah. Oh, it's going to be a long show. It's going to be a long one tonight. I feel better about myself now. Got a little redemption? The redemption song? Yes. I got a Buffett story for you. Oh, yeah? His one song was The Pirate Looks at 40. He would segue into Bob Marley's redemption song. Oh, jeez. And it didn't quite... Wait a minute. Buddy, that is the quickest way to get to the penalty box. I'm not playing it, though. I know you're not. You're poking the rhino right now. I'm a guitarist. You're poking the rhino right now. You're not a rhino, you're a nice guy. Come on, we went through that last week. And so, as I've been saying each week, I'm just going to say right now, where's Jack? Okay, and we'll move on from that. Hey, Jack. Hey, Jack, please come back. He didn't listen before, so I don't think he's listening now. Let's see. January 25th, Alice in Chains released their Jar of Flies album, which makes its U .S. chart debut at number one on the Billboard 200, becoming the first ever EP to do that. Right? But they still are always talked about as like number three or number four out of the big four. Big four being? Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden. And Alice in Chains. Alice in Chains is never getting that kind of... Whereas... That first album, the record company made them sound like another band. Yeah. And that's not their fault. They were produced that way. Dirt was a great album. Yes, yes. And Layne Staley was one of the greatest frontmen ever. Just as cool as the other side of the pillow, as they say. Yeah. voice Very unique also. Today we were talking about what we were going to talk about in the show. And he goes, when I saw the videos, he goes, I didn't match his face with the way he looked. Right? He said he was expecting like a grungy, more... No, he was slick. He was slick. In the Man in the Box video, he's got the kind of long... But then he changed it up. He slicked the hair back, he wore the shades, you know. Just turned into a... Suzanne McPhail. Another one of my horse people. She's the one that introduced me to that whole thing. And she said, who's Jack? That's right, I guess. At this point. On January 29th, The Supremes' Mary Wilson is injured when her Jeep hits a freeway median and flips over just outside of LA. Wilson's 14 -year -old son is killed in the accident. What a good day. Ah, this fucking... I saw this and I was like... Dead horses was a bummer. I know, I know. I saw this and I'm like, there's no way around this. February 1st, Green Day releases their breakthrough album, Dookie. Ushering in the mid -1990s punk revival. Dookie eventually achieves diamond certification. Now, I did like them back then. I actually did. I was stationed in Southern California in Riverside. And I decided to get like a side job. You know, I was in the Air Force. But I was like, I want to make a little more money. I want to do something. So I got a job at a record store. Cool. Was it Spencer's or something? Forget the name of it. Oh, Spencer's. They sold all the trinkets, too. No, no, it wasn't Spencer's then. It was something like that. It was a chain. Hot topic. They sold DVDs, too. FYE. No, it wasn't that. I'll remember it. I was working there when Dookie came out and the fucking whole wall was covered with Dookie CDs and they were flying off the shelves. It had a pretty fresh sound. It was fresh then. And coming off the 80s were kind of slick in a lot of ways, except for some of the real heavy alternative. But to hear a song like that on the radio, that was like hearing Smells Like Teen Spirit on mainstream rock radio. Good drummer, too. As a band, whether you like him or not, I think he's really good. Billy Joe Armstrong. Oh, Trey Cool. Trey Cool, yeah. February 7th, Blind Melons lead singer is Shannon Poon forced to leave the American Music Awards ceremony because he is loud and disruptive behavior. Poon is later charged with battery assault, resisting arrest, and destroying a police station telephone. Now, this is the dude that sang, you know, And I don't really care if I sleep all day And he's in the daisy field, so you think he's like this really, like, chill dude. And like, you know, me and the B -girl, man, you know. The B -girl, yes. And the tap -dancing B -girl, and like, I'm just this dude's a fucking lunatic. He was taking substances that made him. Oh, yeah. That was a short career. Was it him that did a duet with Guns N' Roses? What was the video, a song from Guns N' Roses with a video where they're up on like a water tower and they jump into the water or something. I forget what it was called. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe they did it with him.
Markets Daily Crypto Roundup
A highlight from Crypto Update | Bitcoin Hovers Around $26K, Thailands New Pro-Crypto Prime Minister
"This episode of Market Staley is sponsored by Kraken. It's Wednesday, August 23rd, 2023, and this is Market Staley from CoinDesk. Hi, I'm Michelle Musso here with your crypto markets roundup. On today's show, we're talking Bitcoin, XRP, Thailand and more. And just a reminder, CoinDesk is a news source and does not provide investment advice. Bitcoin has dropped back below $26 ,000 as the market awaits developments from the central bankers meeting at Jackson Hole on Friday. The world's largest cryptocurrency by market value dropped just below the $26 ,000 mark on Wednesday, after trading in a tight range over the past 24 hours, hitting a weekly low of $25 ,500. The cryptocurrency rebounded slightly from the low but remains down 9 % over the last seven days. The head of digital asset strategy at Fundstrat wrote, It is possible that any semblance of dovishness from Jay Powell on Friday could help inspire a recovery. Continuing, Beyond that, we also have a potential ruling in the grayscale case to look forward to. The analysts added that they believe the market is closer to a local bottom rather than top, given the absence of industry -specific catalysts and a decline in liquidity. On Monday, we discussed that the past week saw an increase in the Ether -to -Bitcoin ratio. The Ether -Bitcoin ratio rose more than 2 % last week, contrasting with its record of taking losses during bouts of risk aversion. Still, options data tracked by Amberdata show a strong bearish outlook for Ether, with traders hedging against potential price weaknesses over a number of timeframes. Meanwhile, traders remain bullish on Bitcoin over the long run. The persistent bias for long -term BTC calls perhaps stems from the belief that the top cryptocurrency would be the first beneficiary of an eventual positive flip in the macroeconomic environment. Noelle Acheson, author of the Crypto is Macro Now newsletter, said, Bitcoin continues to be the macro asset for the crypto market and could also see some strong inflows as the macro environment shifts. Many large investors will continue to prefer Bitcoin exposure for its liquidity, market cap, and relative stability. Bitcoin's short -term holders, which tend to be sensitive to short -term price gyrations, are largely underwater on their coin holdings after the recent price slide, according to on -chain data. The head of digital assets in Merrick Solutions said the unrealized losses of short -term holders are one of the critical problems for the market right now. The real problem is the current fragile market set up for Bitcoin because short -term holders are underwater in both price and narrative. They said this in an email. BNB, a cryptocurrency closely linked to Binance, fell to its lowest in more than a year after a report regarding fresh risks over Russia sanctions added to already mounting regulatory and legal pressure on the crypto exchange. The token sank to its weakest level since June 2022's crypto market crash. It's since pared some of those losses down by 7 % over the past week. The latest decline happened after The Wall Street Journal reported that Binance was facilitating Russian users' ability to move money abroad, despite widespread international sanctions. Bearish sentiment in the broader market has weighed down on tokens that may have been otherwise fueled by positive fundamentals. This comes as traders look to take profits on price movements instead of a buy -and -hold approach. Data shows XRP, among the world's largest tokens by market capitalization, has lost nearly all gains after Ripple Labs' landmark court ruling over the U .S. Securities and Exchange Commission in July. XRP exchanged hands at $0 .50 on Wednesday, down 14 % in the past week and 30 % over a 30 -day period. Price chart data shows the tokens hit a yearly high on July 20th, but Wednesday's prices are back to levels before the SEC ruling. Today's market updates come from CoinDesk Lilladezma, Amkar Gbole, and Shariah Malwa. Stay tuned for after the break when we'll take a look at the news from Australia and Thailand.

A highlight from MARKETS DAILY: Featured Story | How Is Tokenization Impacting Investing?
"This episode of Market Staley is sponsored by Kraken. It's Sunday, August 20th, 2023, and this is Market Staley from CoinDesk. Hi, I'm Michelle Musso here again with your weekend story. On today's show, we're taking a look at tokenization and how it could change the financial landscape. As always, just a reminder, CoinDesk is a news source and does not provide investment advice. Today's piece comes from Kelly Yeh, head of research at Decentral Park Capital. The piece is titled, How is tokenization impacting investing? We are using a Wondercraft AI voice for today's feature story. Hope you enjoy. Since their inception in 1993, ETFs have surpassed traditional mutual funds as the preferred investment vehicle for many investors to access capital markets. The remarkable growth of the ETF lineup has democratized the investment business by providing access to investment strategies and entire asset classes that were historically only available to the largest and most sophisticated investors. However, there is still a substantial portion of the investment universe that ETFs cannot reach. Alternative investments such as private equity, private debt, and real assets are typically available only in the form of private funds with constraints on liquidity, investor qualification, and minimum investment thresholds. According to a 2022 Fidelity study, institutions on average allocate around 23 % to alternatives, while advisors only allocate approximately 6%. In an environment where a traditional 60 -40 portfolio provides limited growth and income opportunities, alternative investments serve as valuable building blocks to enhance an investor's portfolio. It would be beneficial to have an ETF -like structure that offers transparency, liquidity, and efficiency to access these alternative investments. This is where blockchain technology can play a significant role through a process called tokenization. Tokenization involves representing real -world assets, such as private equity, real estate, fine art, commodities, and more, as digital tokens on a blockchain. By doing so, these assets become easily tradable and divisible, opening up new possibilities for fractional ownership and liquidity. Advisors can now present clients with a broader array of investment options, encompassing both traditional and digital assets, catering to different risk appetites and financial goals.

A highlight from Featured Story | RIP DAOs?
"This episode of Market Staley is sponsored by Kraken. Good morning. This is Market Staley from Coindesk. George Gellu is here again with your featured story. On today's show, we're bringing the Wondercraft AI voice back yet again to read a piece by Project Glitch. And just a reminder, Coindesk is a news source and does not provide financial advice. Project Glitch is a team of journalists exploring the future of the internet. The article was sent to me by Mark Hochstein, the executive editor of ConsenSys here at Coindesk. And it's a pretty lengthy one, so I'll let it stand on its own for today's featured story. The piece is titled, R .I .P. Dows? One theory of innovation, albeit a cynical one, is that most of what technologists call innovation is really just an attempt to exploit regulatory gaps before they close, to capture value in areas where legal precedent is shaky and the technology in question is misunderstood, and then leverage this confusion as much as possible for growth and power and money before these opportunities go away. If you find this theory compelling, you'll probably look at companies like Uber and Lyft and see something that looks a lot like a cab company. Rather than seeing the transition from dispatch to smartphone -based ride hailing as novel and fundamental, you'll see a trivial tweak that allowed these companies to circumvent important rules, rules that forced cab companies to provide things like employment contracts and job security, say, and allowed ridesharing companies to ignore the assertion of transit authorities that they were, in fact, cab companies. Innovation. You'll probably also agree with a legal stance recently taken by the U .S. Commodities Futures Trading Commission, or CFTC, the government agency in charge of regulating the derivatives market in a lawsuit against Uki Dow, a decentralized autonomous organization that describes itself as a protocol for tokenized margin trading, borrowing, and lending. The agency argued that Uki Dow wasn't innovative at all. It was, regulators said, little more than an unincorporated association, something like a nonviolent version of a mafia crime syndicate. In a bizarre episode of American Jurisprudence, which involved the CFTC serving Uki Dow via the chatbot on its website only to find that nobody bothered to show up in court, a federal judge agreed, ruling in June that while Uki Dow may think of itself as a neutral software protocol operating as a digital cooperative, it's really just a trading platform that's been acting unlawfully since 2021. In light of the decision, a group of crypto lawyers operating on another, more charitable theory of innovation now say it's time to rethink the entire concept of a Dow. Uki Dow may have been a grift, they admit, operating under the false assumption that by adopting a Dow structure, they could evade the law. But the idea of the Dow in general is worth defending, as it can allow for things that traditional organizational structures cannot, things like coordinating finances democratically and transparently while sharing resources between strangers without the need for an intermediary, actual innovation. The case of Uki Dow figures to be a body blow for Dow's, and it's not a huge stretch to imagine that they may be dead, at least in their current form. But as the concept begins to fall within the auspices of the law, we may be entering a new era of online coordination. Long live the Dow. The court's ruling in June came after a period of legal uncertainty, which began in September 2022 when the CFTC issued an order, meaning it filed and settled charges simultaneously against a company called B0X and its founders, Tom Bean and Kyle Kisner. The agency charged the group with illegally facilitating the sale of assets the CFTC regulates, while also failing to adopt a customer identification, KYC program. At the same time, it charged Uki Dow with the same crimes. Uki Dow is the operating name of BZX Dow, which in August 2021 took over control of the BZX protocol from B0X. In its complaint, the CFTC argued that for all intents and purposes, Uki Dow was the same type of organization as B0X. It ran the same software in the exact same manner. The CFTC claimed that by transferring control of B0X's software to a Dow structure, its founders believed that its operations would be enforcement -proof and that its founders touted as much to the B0X community. The enforcement action in September ordered Bean and Kisner to pay a $250 ,000 civil monetary penalty and warned that if Uki Dow didn't respond to the charges within three weeks, it would receive a default judgment. That's what happens when the defendant doesn't show up in court, so the claimant, in this case the CFTC, receives everything they want. The CFTC argued that Uki Dow ran afoul of the Commodity Exchange Act, a law from 1936 that regulates commodity trading in the U .S. According to the agency, since Uki Dow was operating as an unincorporated association, in legal terms it also qualified as a person and was thus liable for violations of the law. That's based on a legal concept called corporate personhood, in which corporations and other similar entities have the same rights as natural persons, aka humans. By pursuing a default judgment, the CFTC angled to enshrine its arguments as law, with no opposition. And it worked. In June, the CFTC got its default judgment. Uki Dow owes the CFTC about $650 ,000 and needs to end registration in the Dow immediately, and if reporting from the crypto media is correct, it will also shut down. Dow enthusiasts argue that the CFTC has been running roughshod over due process and unilaterally setting all sorts of legal precedents. For example, when the CFTC served Uki Dow legal notice via its chatbot, nobody had ever done that before. No court had ever established that a Dow token holder is a member. For that matter, none had ever established what a Dow really is, in the eyes of the law. But what's really at stake here isn't just the fate of some minor software project. What's at stake is the future of Dow's as a concept, and by extension, the way people organize online. A note from the Markets Daily team. Project Glitch then includes a section titled, A Brief Primer on Dow's, in which they explain the concept's origins and highlight some of the most crucial examples of Dow's, including the Dow and Constitution Dow. Check out the link in the show notes if you'd like to read more about this section. But for today's show, we'll skip it and stay focused on Uki Dow.

A highlight from MARKETS DAILY: Featured Story | RIP DAOs?
"This episode of Market Staley is sponsored by Kraken. Good morning. This is Market Staley from Coindesk. George Gellu is here again with your featured story. On today's show, we're bringing the Wondercraft AI voice back yet again to read a piece by Project Glitch. And just a reminder, Coindesk is a news source and does not provide financial advice. Project Glitch is a team of journalists exploring the future of the internet. The article was sent to me by Mark Hochstein, the executive editor of ConsenSys here at Coindesk. And it's a pretty lengthy one, so I'll let it stand on its own for today's featured story. The piece is titled, R .I .P. Dows? One theory of innovation, albeit a cynical one, is that most of what technologists call innovation is really just an attempt to exploit regulatory gaps before they close, to capture value in areas where legal precedent is shaky and the technology in question is misunderstood, and then leverage this confusion as much as possible for growth and power and money before these opportunities go away. If you find this theory compelling, you'll probably look at companies like Uber and Lyft and see something that looks a lot like a cab company. Rather than seeing the transition from dispatch to smartphone -based ride hailing as novel and fundamental, you'll see a trivial tweak that allowed these companies to circumvent important rules, rules that forced cab companies to provide things like employment contracts and job security, say, and allowed ridesharing companies to ignore the assertion of transit authorities that they were, in fact, cab companies. Innovation. You'll probably also agree with a legal stance recently taken by the U .S. Commodities Futures Trading Commission, or CFTC, the government agency in charge of regulating the derivatives market in a lawsuit against Uki Dow, a decentralized autonomous organization that describes itself as a protocol for tokenized margin trading, borrowing, and lending. The agency argued that Uki Dow wasn't innovative at all. It was, regulators said, little more than an unincorporated association, something like a nonviolent version of a mafia crime syndicate. In a bizarre episode of American Jurisprudence, which involved the CFTC serving Uki Dow via the chatbot on its website only to find that nobody bothered to show up in court, a federal judge agreed, ruling in June that while Uki Dow may think of itself as a neutral software protocol operating as a digital cooperative, it's really just a trading platform that's been acting unlawfully since 2021. In light of the decision, a group of crypto lawyers operating on another, more charitable theory of innovation now say it's time to rethink the entire concept of a Dow. Uki Dow may have been a grift, they admit, operating under the false assumption that by adopting a Dow structure, they could evade the law. But the idea of the Dow in general is worth defending, as it can allow for things that traditional organizational structures cannot, things like coordinating finances democratically and transparently while sharing resources between strangers without the need for an intermediary, actual innovation. The case of Uki Dow figures to be a body blow for Dow's, and it's not a huge stretch to imagine that they may be dead, at least in their current form. But as the concept begins to fall within the auspices of the law, we may be entering a new era of online coordination. Long live the Dow. The court's ruling in June came after a period of legal uncertainty, which began in September 2022 when the CFTC issued an order, meaning it filed and settled charges simultaneously against a company called B0X and its founders, Tom Bean and Kyle Kisner. The agency charged the group with illegally facilitating the sale of assets the CFTC regulates, while also failing to adopt a customer identification, KYC program. At the same time, it charged Uki Dow with the same crimes. Uki Dow is the operating name of BZX Dow, which in August 2021 took over control of the BZX protocol from B0X. In its complaint, the CFTC argued that for all intents and purposes, Uki Dow was the same type of organization as B0X. It ran the same software in the exact same manner. The CFTC claimed that by transferring control of B0X's software to a Dow structure, its founders believed that its operations would be enforcement -proof and that its founders touted as much to the B0X community. The enforcement action in September ordered Bean and Kisner to pay a $250 ,000 civil monetary penalty and warned that if Uki Dow didn't respond to the charges within three weeks, it would receive a default judgment. That's what happens when the defendant doesn't show up in court, so the claimant, in this case the CFTC, receives everything they want. The CFTC argued that Uki Dow ran afoul of the Commodity Exchange Act, a law from 1936 that regulates commodity trading in the U .S. According to the agency, since Uki Dow was operating as an unincorporated association, in legal terms it also qualified as a person and was thus liable for violations of the law. That's based on a legal concept called corporate personhood, in which corporations and other similar entities have the same rights as natural persons, aka humans.

A highlight from MARKETS DAILY: Featured Story | Tether Is Going on a Bitcoin Buying Spree, but It Should Be Holding Cash
"This episode of Market Staley is sponsored by Kraken. It's Sunday, August 6th, 2023, and this is Market Staley from Coindesk. George Kalouda is here again with your weekend story. On today's show, we're going to do something a little bit different. And just a reminder before we get into the article, Coindesk is a news source and does not provide financial advice. Today's weekend story features an opinion piece that I wrote, and since I am so immensely humble instead of reading it myself, we're going to try something kind of strange and kind of new. We're going to have a Wondercraft AI voice reading. Let us know what you think. The piece Wondercraft is going to read is titled, Tether is going on a Bitcoin buying spree, but it should be holding cash. I'll see you on the other side. One of the most absurd things in crypto right now is Tether's quarterly profits. The company, known as much for its controversies as its market -leading stablecoin USDT, has about 60 employees and quarterly profits above $1 billion. At least that's what the company is attesting to in its latest exercise in rebuilding trust. Honestly, on its face, I can't believe it at all. Yet despite the company's history of stating occasional half truths and outright lies, there's no real reason to disbelieve this figure, but it just seems crazy. On Monday, Tether released a new quarterly attestation that had some interesting metrics. First, Tether holds a lot of US treasuries and a lot less private debt. Of note, it holds $55 .8 billion of US treasury bills, boring old government bonds with less than 90 day maturities, $8 .9 billion of overnight reverse repurchase agreements, loans financial institutions make to fulfill lending requirements, and $8 .1 billion of money market funds, effectively cash. If Tether was a country, its US treasury bill hoard alone would put it as the 24th largest foreign holder of treasury securities in the world, nestled just between Mexico and Thailand. That in and of itself is pretty remarkable.

A highlight from MARKETS DAILY: Featured Story | Solana Tokens or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Points
"This episode of Market Staley is sponsored by Kraken. It's Saturday, August 5th, 2023, and this is Market Staley from Coindesk. George Kalouda is here again with your weekend story on today's show. We're taking a look at Solana and just a reminder, Coindesk is a news source and does not provide financial advice. I'll be reading an opinion piece by Coindesk managing editor Danny Nelson titled Solana tokens or how I learned to stop worrying and love the points. Salt Lake City. The way Barrett from Cypher Protocol sees it, Solana's comeback depends on one thing, tokens, specifically new tokens from teams on the Solana blockchain that haven't issued them before. They're the key to driving liquidity, trading activity, and most important, new users into a decentralized finance ecosystem that sorely needs all three. Barrett, the founder of crypto trading platform Cypher, sat down with Coindesk on day two of this summer's Mountain Dow, the biannual hacker house, now in its fourth edition. He's the event's emcee and chief organizer and via Cypher, its main sponsor, alongside MarginFi, an on -chain lending platform. The two have charged up Solana's growth leaderboard in recent weeks, partly because of loyalty programs that give points to crypto traders who participate in their respective markets. These points aren't themselves tokens, but nearly everyone amassing them is convinced they'll transmogrify into a token payday, possibly soon. Barrett, who has gone by his mononym first name at least since Cypher launched in 2021, won't confirm whether the crypto lending startup is on the cusp of landing a token or will ever hold an airdrop. It hardly matters. All those askers of when Cypher airdropped are plowing their points earning capital through Cypher's markets for trading crypto assets like Sol, ETH, and BTC anyway. This excitement is giving Cypher its first taste of success after three years and just as many pivots. On Wednesday, Cypher V3, which Barrett describes as a generalized decentralized exchange, crossed $2 million in total deposits for the first time ever, we are consistently ranking top five in growth across one, seven and 30 day periods in the Solana ecosystem on both users and TVL that's total value locked. Said Barrett, the protocol has grown 1 ,384 % since launching a liquidity incentives program and more than doubled since debuting points. He added, he continued trading volume is picking up on spot and perps markets referring to perpetual futures contracts. Cypher is part of what Barrett calls Solana DeFi 2 .0, a loose confederation of protocols that are hitting their stride deep in the super fast blockchains bear market, many of the teams that were around during Solana's payday in summer and fall 2021 when token linked protocols like Mango Markets, Saber and Serum commanded the ecosystem's attention.

"If you can find a way to get pressure on Mac. That's the reality. You're not on YouTube. Just hop on here and check this out real quick. It's really funny. That's the reality of getting pressure on Mac Jones. That happens and a throw a throw that looks what you can imagine happens. They're all looks like with that face. Not good. It's a duck going up into the air. All right, and this next point here, this is a good example of getting him off a spot. So they're gonna run play action, meaning they're gonna fake the run play action is just you're gonna fake run. That'll bring these linebackers up and it's gonna open up this crossing route that is wide open. And it's open for a couple of seconds. It's like plenty of time to get the ball out. But there's pressure. They're gonna blitz off the edge right here, and it's gonna force him to get off of his spot and step up. So in the time that he has to step up and then throw the safety is gonna be able to get over the top and make the play. If the pressure wasn't there, he doesn't have to step up and you can make an easy completion, but watch as I roll the clip, you'll see that if this forcing him to step up just a little bit in the pocket because of his blitz, right here, now he has to step up. Now he has to throw and now it's late. So just forcing him to have to be really athletic, which Mac Jones is forcing him to have to make those plays where he has to step up and get the ball out really quick and on point is going to lead to success, I think, for the charger. So, man, we always know that pressure on a quarterback does a lot of good things. We have to try to do that. They're going to try to run the ball right off the bat to establish so that they can do these play actions. And I will say after having watched just a little bit of this patriots film, just like they did with Tom Brady, they're gonna dink. They're gonna dink you all the way down the field on these short little passes, try to frustrate you and try to get you to come up so they can take a shot with a play action deep. So we have to have to be better against the run game this week. As kind of what we know needs to change here, but I think getting him off a spot like this will help us be really successful. All right, in this last one, this is an example of the jets getting a four man pressure, Mac stares down his receiver, which we all know, you've probably heard it a million times in a broadcast. You can't stare down where you're going. Because it allows everyone to flow to the ball. So what you'll see is they're going to try to get the ball out here to this tight end. This linebacker because Mac is staring it down and there's pressure, he knows the ball's getting out quick. He gets out undercuts it and almost is able to pick it off. So this is just showing you get pressure. If he stares down and receiver, it can easily turn into some interceptions and take aways for us. Go in the other way. So he's going to stare down stare down and then throw that line that linebacker because he's looking where he's going. He's able to move with his eyes and get underneath the ball. Because there's pressure he just has to get it out quick. I know we can force Mac Jones into some bad mistakes. If Joey boss is able to get his hands on Mac Jones, a couple of times early in this game. And we were able to Lamar Jackson through picks were able to get some of these good quarterbacks to throw interceptions against us. And these guys are veterans and a rookie who looks down as receiver and does all this stuff. Hopefully this is a big turnover game for us. Most games have been so far. I mean, we've not, we've not turned the ball over. We've done a great job of turning the ball over. It's just stopping that running game. And I think we're going to have to do it real quick here to start the patriot game. Right. And capitalizing on those turnovers. Yeah. Awesome. All right, we'll coach, hey, thanks for taking a look at our upcoming opponent. And can't wait to can't wait to see what happens this next upcoming game. All right, folks well, that's pretty much it here for this episode of the charge of chat. Next on the agenda is going to be me waking up at the crack at G whiz on Sunday morning and getting my fat butt on a plane and going to hang out with Josh and Landon over at the stadium. I should be getting into the stadium about ten 30, maybe a little after that. And I'm going to be ready for game day folks. I'm going to be my full getup for that too. I'm going to be in my Halloween costume. I don't want to give it away. I want you guys to see it and experience it as it is. Are you wearing it on the plane? Most of it, yeah. Yes. I don't see any reason why not to. I mean, it's all so comfortable clothes for the most part. And the couple other accoutrements.

And then I also saw something recently, you're jumping into some new players. I am, yes, I have. I have wilder one here. That is so awesome. Here's the best part. I love.

"In those three to 5 snaps? It's a fair point. Somebody needs to show enough to keep the job. Right? So let me propose this. If out of the three, Justin Jackson, roundtree and Kelly, who was yours if you pick one right now? Not looking at special teams. Same. Yeah, I would say roundtree. I mean, at the very least, he's the youngest talent on the team in a show, I think the most promise. Amongst them, you know, Justin, you know, has been on the team long enough and has had his opportunity to show if he could be number two. Yeah. I mean, he's had those moments, but it just hasn't been consistently reliable number two. Yeah, and if the idea is to stop this revolving door at number two, he's not the answer 'cause he's gonna get hurt. He is a revolting door. And that's the exactly. That's the conversation we're having. Everyone walked in, our number two guy is Jackson. Clearly he's not Austin Eckler just said that they don't have a number two. That is not booting confidence for you as Justin Jackson. You know, I like Josh Kelly smile. Seems like a great guy. Seems like a great guy. Seems like a great guy. But we haven't seen much of him in the show, which is unfair to him. He didn't get activated until very recently. Right. So hopefully one of these guys steps up and have a big game like kind of what Justin Jackson did against the Steelers that one year and kind of stepped in and took over. So hopefully that happens soon, if not this game, right? We can all hope, but we still hold on to that steelers game. That was three years ago. It was a great game. We came back and beat the Steelers. All I'm saying is that still what we put Justin Jackson's career on is that the only point the only thing we can hang the hat on for him unlike having a really good game. Let's just show our shameless positivity. We're gonna keep going back to that. If you can do it, you can do it again. Buddy. All right, well now it's time to look over at our opponent for this week. It is patriots. Oh boy. Everybody's I remember, I remember a pop Warner game I played in one time, and all of our son defense thought it would be really funny to start like, we thought it would not be funny. That would be mean to start barking at the other team. So we started doing it all 11 guys were barking. We come off to the sideline dad's like, hey guys, I get it. You can't work. You can't get it. It's like the little kid voice is like. Little dogs, a little chihuahuas. All right, so let's see. They talked to Bill Belichick this week in regards to Justin Herbert. Apparently this is from an article from bola VIP dot com by Martin O'Donnell. Where it's written, it's quite unusual to hear Belichick heaping praise on other teams players. In fact, he is not even shared too many compliments for Tom Brady a few weeks ago, apparently. This was what Belichick had to say, and because he's Justin Herbert, he said, he's really good. I thought he was outstanding in college. He just really had everything you're looking for. He's very athletic, good arm, a lot of boys, played well in Oregon, just a number of big plays all the passes, all the throws, but extended plays, scrambles could run the read zone and all that. He's as good a quarterback as I've seen come out here in quite a while, especially as it fits the pro game. I don't think you're going to find too many better than him. This guy is really an impressive player. I thought he was really good when he played them last year and luckily we had a pretty good day, but I'm not counting on that again. I've a ton of respect for him. I think he's going to be one of the top quarterbacks in the league for a long time to come. Wow, thanks, Bill. Thank you, Bill. Tell me, tell me something I don't know, but yeah for real. I know, but coming from the mouth of the guy that gives one word answers at his press conferences. I'll take that. That's a long winded formulated thought on our quarterback. I've never heard of such a long answer from him. You should be like, yeah, he's good. You can make it through. Yeah, he goes on to next week. Yeah. Good. Good. Bill, Belichick, football, coach. Yeah. Justin, well let me put my reading glasses on, and I'll tell you, and let me read you a poem. I wrote about this. Oh, to Justin. Haiku for you. All right, well looking at some of the other teams that the Patriots have played so far this year. Let's see. There's the Miami Dolphins, which Miami Dolphins beat the Patriots. That's the Miami win of the year. Lone win of the year, then the Patriots smoke the jets. Week two, I guess the saints beat the Patriots, 20, 13. The bucks, we all saw that game. That was a big game. Yeah, that was prime time game being in the Patriots in The Rain. And then the Patriots, I believe the Patriots had a missed field that was in his field goal in 1917. And then patriots just barely beat the Texans 25, 22. And then the cowboys beat the Patriots, 35, 29. So last week. And then last four to 13 against the jets. Right. Just look at it this way. Out of their three wins, two of those are against the jets, right? Okay? To say they've had a softer schedule than most teams, it's fair to say. It really is fair to say. And when they play competition that is above jets level. They keep it close, but like the saints wasn't a close game, 28, 13. You know they're in close games. They really are, but they're just not getting over the hump on some of these. Yeah, they're coaching keeps them in all of these games, but I just don't have what they need to be able to be dominant like they were. You know? Good coaching is going to keep being games. You got to have that guy that's just going to turn around and win the games for you. And I'm not saying Mac Jones is not a good quarterback. He just hasn't been that guy yet, you know? He's the Jimmy Garoppolo. He's that guy that can kind of get by and not gonna blow a game but not gonna win the game for you. Right. So they're in the games because of their great coaching, but yeah, you beat the jets twice, you lose to the dolphin. This isn't a proven team yet. I don't believe it. I'm not under I'm not gonna take them lightly by any means as a fan watching this game. We're not overwhelmingly confident. But I'm just saying that the after having looked at the schedule, it's not like, oh man, yeah, shoot these guys are really, really good. Right. I think it's going to boil down to really is going to boil down to staley versus Belichick at the end. I think it's going to come down to coaching decisions and what we do versus what they do and I think clearly we have the better roster. We have the better quarterback. We have a lot of betters, but like you said, Belichick is such a good coach that he's always in these games. We always lose these things in the fourth quarter. It's just a reality. We always do to the Patriots in the fourth quarter. So count on staley, we're looking at you bud, take us to the promised land on this shit. Yeah. And the one thing that you guys have mentioned previously is that Bill Belichick has been great on special teams and who are the two guys that we just picked up in this bi week. Two special teams, guys. You'd like to think that, you know, we picked these guys up. They're gonna make an instant impact, Dustin Hopkins, I immediately see making an instant impact. And Andre Roberts, I hopefully, he's been working out and he's been sitting sitting around, not just sitting on the couch. Hopefully sitting on the treadmill or something. Keeping keeping them legs going. So it's going to be exciting to see what ends up happening this game and I'm so excited. I'm going to be there. Oh my God, I forgot you were going. Yeah..

"Good morning. Good morning. You slept the whole night through so we say good morning good morning to you. Come on, Kyle. Guys, you know I don't get involved in this singing stuff. You're welcome back. Welcome back, folks to the charger chat. You go host bulldog. Sit with my buddies, Kev, hug and dug in. I'm so excited for this game. Let's get this. Let's get this charger charger train rolling. It feels like it's been so long. Let's not forget Kyle, the coach duggan. What's up, guys? Hey, buddy. All right, folks. It's an early morning for us here at the charge of chat. We are still rubbing the sleepies out of our eyes, but it is not going to stop us from doing a podcast here. Can't stop won't stop. Anytime, I probably do it in my sleep sometimes if you ask me. It's like Forrest Gump. I even play ping Pong in my sleep. All right, well, there's plenty to talk about here, folks. Anybody who's kept an eye on YouTube has seen that they have just dropped a gem in our laps. You thought all in was it? No, nope, nope, sorry, folks, all in is not it. We have now takeout. Who saw that coming? Chase Daniels. The very first episode is with the quote unquote brisket boys just on that. And gave neighbors, yes, he was really pushing for merch lineup of t-shirts and swag and bobbleheads, and everything. They got to do it quick before somebody else in our community does. We'll have to see moving. See if a brisket boys dot com is taken, but he was asking these guys questions and he was talking to game neighbors on how the victory brisket got started and Gabe said it all started when Justin got a traeger and a whole bunch of meat. He got really good at cooking and then after one of the games cooked to brisket and said, this isn't just any brisket. It's a victory brisket. And it all went from there and it kind of took off. What a stupid. What a stupid thing that just really wouldn't have made any difference whatsoever anywhere else. It's just like it was probably our first win back after a long stretch of not winning. And Jay herbo you know, he dubbed it and that's what it is. He just I remember him posting it on his one of his social media pages and I as soon as I saw that, I was like, that's going to blow up. And all the best things that blow up like that are the dumbest stupid little didn't think about it. Simple things. Nothing major wasn't pushing for it to be an explosive social media anything. But yeah, I think I want to say it was Instagram because Justin didn't really have any social media presence coming into the charger organization and so after having such a successful rookie season, it was just like, okay, clearly, gotta get on this social media business and yeah. He's good though 'cause the only he only posts every once in a while. It's not like this constant flow. So I can exciting Justin Herbert. I'm like, all right, let's go. Where are we doing? Let's go. You have my full undivided attention, yes, undivided. And then also on the takeout episode, a perfect night in the Herbert neighbors household, apparently is a three course meal and ice cream night said neighbors. Justin followed up with the most random things in a blender. It was always milkshakes we would find whatever cookies, kit kats, Twix, whatever. Don't forget the protein. The protein for sprinkled. Justin might not have known. Yeah. It's leveling up without knowing. Yeah, Dustin did no game. Walked in the other room and gave just toss like 5 scoops and they're really fast. We're gonna make this one big boy. But throw in some quickie cookies and twigs. So, yeah, so apparently it's a good time at the Herbert neighbor's household. I don't know that they're roommates anymore, though. The way that he is grown up and they've grown apart, yeah. And I heard rose got I don't know if you saw his backyard. It looks pretty sweet. It looks like he's got a pretty damn grind. Yeah, they're not sharing an apartment or anything like that. No townhouse sharing anymore. No, the one thing that was cool was the chase Daniels, like, you don't really get to see him very much. He was really funny. His camaraderie with him and Justin was like, okay, that's probably going to be a pretty fun cool quarterback room. Well, you have to have that to be a backup. You know, you have to be a backup quarterback in the NFL. I feel like you have to have a little bit of that. You're gonna build the team. You're gonna make it a fun place to work. We don't care how good you are. You never really play unless we're screwed anyway. So you might as well be a cool guy that can help build up the locker room. So that was really cool. I also loved when they talked about the movie quotes and stuff. And they were kind of quizzing them and Justin said his favorite movie was interstellar and then didn't know the line to interstellar. I was like, oh man, that's not a good look, Justin. It was funny because as soon as they were like, oh, they're movie bus. I'm like, oh, they're movie buffs. Really? And then you're in like all their picks like, oh really? No, you're reminded that they're early 20s. Yeah, trying to pick all the different pieces of technology and save by the bell and it was just like oh God. It made me feel like that was fun for everyone else. I felt oldest shit when I watched that last part. So it's awesome, folks. Go check it out, take out it is on YouTube. And big news here, folks, big news. We were talking about it. Previous episodes. This was the next morning after we recorded it. It really was. Well, it happened so quickly because the next day first there were tweets that chargers were working out, kicker Dustin Hopkins and who was the other kicker or something fry Elliott fries, something like that? Yeah. And it was just like, okay, as we mentioned, you know, all options are on the table, kickers are, you know, they're bringing them in, checking them out. But then like an hour later was just like, okay, we signed this guy. We signed Dustin Hopkins. We know the Washington football team. You know how we have ninja Tommy? Now we have sensei daily because he threw us all off. Oh, we have confidence. Daily. I think we just found a commercial beauty. We have so much confidence in moscato. Next day, boom, this happens. Tommy T is rubbing off on him, man. Wow. Yeah. I'll say staley. Since they staley really pulled the wool over our eyes as he was saying that, you know, yeah, we've got nothing but confidence in interest and we feel like there's plenty to work with. And then just immediately the next day out the door goes Kano and incomes. Dustin Hopkins, who was an 8 year NFL veteran, Hopkins played in 93 games with the Washington football team from 2015 to 2021, and he left Washington as the franchise all time leader in field goal percentage, which is the four goals of 50 plus yards, 13. So what why did they cut it? I was understand that either. So he missed he had one game where I guess he missed two extra points. And that was really he really pissed off Ron Rivera. And it's just fascinating because we went on at the beginning of the season where I went on the Washington football podcast. And I started messaging with those guys, because I was their kicker. And they were complaining and bitching about them. On Twitter and I was like,.

"I just don't see any big time moves coming right now. I agree. Yeah. If it happens, I would be surprised. We've been wrong before on the charge of Janet. We wouldn't be surprised if it happened again, but hey, greeter mcboat, thank you for asking the question. Moving on now to super bolts chants. Who asks the question? What's up guys? Great team win for sure. I've seen a high scoring game in the bangles game back in O 6. That game pushed us to the playoff. Now here we start ringside our players. What do you guys think? One more thing we need to stop that no fan shit. It's getting annoying. Keep that great energy guy. Love the pod and keep on bull king. Kay love you by shoot. I almost forgot. Fuck the Raiders. No my chiefs. What is here? Another team in our division. Oh yeah. That donkey. Oh God. So I know I'm bad about jinxing stuff. I don't like talking about injuries. I don't like talking about the stuff, so knock on wood. Not yet. I want to get there, but I don't want it to get one step at a time. It's a long season. Seamlessly positive. Size them up. And what does it hurt to have their ring size? Everybody's getting special rings. Get a quote. Whistle wings. Yeah. Quote. Some competition. Right. And yeah, there's no competing. We be competing on who's going to be relationship competing. Exactly. Guys, too. Kick man. And yeah, the no fans nonsense. It's just not true. I think Kyle made a great point about it, like, you know, when being in an area that you are, you're going to get out of towners. And it's going to happen. But fans are there, we're all over the place and I think more is going to start showing up at this data. And the more we keep winning the more we keep falling out like we are right now last game, man. Every fourth down that we convert is going to bring more fans to that stadium. Sure. So a Super Bowl's champs. Thanks for asking the question. And we go out and ask bolt fam with J Brody. Who asked the question? What the fuck is up? How the fuck do you think Kaylee's balls feed his pants? He continues to go for it on far down and doesn't give a fuck who knows about it. After the params went in my body felt like it was gonna chop at about the stand. It's pegging his skin. How about the way Herbert was swinging that pig skin around on them, browns? It sure feels nice to have the best QB and head coach in the league. Here's my question. What NFC team do you all think? The charge is being in the Super Bowl this year. I love you back. Oh God. I love it. My throat is dead. I know the cardinals look scary. Yeah. Cardinals. Very good. But personally for my household I'd like to see the packers. 'cause daily lost to them. I don't know because you want to do it for your house. I want your marriage to get even more rock here than it could possibly be. But the reason I say it is not for my marriage or for my wife. It's because the last game that staley lost with the rams was at the hands of the packers and I see what you did there. I really want to see the rams in the Super Bowl. I was going to say the rams. I would love to see two the two LA teams playing in the LA. If that happened, you know, everyone would be like, oh, the NFL's in on it. They set this up. There's no way that these two teams should have made it. There's always some excuse as to why the Chargers are fine. They can go make that excuse and a deep dark cave that nobody else can hear them. I would love to see. I mean, not just the narrative of like Ellie and LA in LA, but stay away be enough against McVeigh. Yeah. That would be that's the storyline there for that. Is it also petty that I don't want the other LA team to make it to the Super Bowl? You don't want them to make it? No. Okay. I want 18. It's just like I want to beat them though. Do you want to share what I'm saying? Super Bowl with the heart. That we can beat them and show them who the real LA team is. That's what I want. And I want to stay late to. You're being really competitive casual right now. I like that I can't help it. I've learned from the best. All right, Jay Rudy, thank you for asking the question and thank you everybody who asks in asks, bolt fam. We appreciate it here at charter chat. And before we go out of this episode, it's time for both predictions. What do we got, guys? I can go first. Okay, no one's jumping at the bit. I'm gonna go is this kind of bold, but I think I'm gonna go 31 17 chargers. Shut up. That's what I have written down right here right in 17 chargers. And I'm gonna say, this isn't the most bold thing in the world, but I think it is pretty bold considering the team we're playing. We're gonna keep them under a 125 yards rushing. After giving us two 20 last week. 225 yards rushing. Wow, wow. Okay, well Kevin, we know your score. What's your dad? I'm not like copying your shit. I literally wrote that down. I think Herbert has another awesome game and he throws for three 50 and boasted two sacks. Wow, wow. Very nice. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say 34 24. And I'll make a bolt prediction that any kick that this gaino has to kick. He's gonna make he's a 100% positive. Go kick man. Go kick. Okay, man. All right, folks. Thank you for sticking around for yet another long ass episode of another victory episode hanging with us. Yes. And it's just another victory episode that's always so sweet. And we just love to sit around and chat about it. So thank you for sticking around with us. And folks, don't forget to bolt up because we're ready for any squad. Any place. Okay, love you bye. Okay, love you bye. Okay. Love you bye. And now, a word from our sponsors. So you've got a trip coming up, and you really want to bring your favorite brass balls, but the airline only allows one carry on. What are you going to do? Well, fret no more, because there's Brandon's brass ball bag. Brandon's brass ball bag allows you to take your balls anywhere you go. And the bags are TSA approved. So they fit perfectly in the overhead bin for easy travel. So don't leave your brass balls at home, bring them wherever you are with Brandon's brass ball bag. Now when competitive casual.

"Bills browns. Yeah, I think that's it, honestly. And potentially the ravens who we see this week. It's like we've kind of gone through the gauntlet of a lot of the best teams in the air. We have. And guess what? We're for and one bro yeah. So in my opinion, yeah, it would be like the bills, cheese, browns, or a Raven. So it was doing good so far? Yeah, doing good so far. Moto doctor, thank you for asking the question. Let's move it on now to coach Lago. Who asked the question? Pros. Want to game man? Added about three white hairs to the beard, gonna look like bulldogs soon, coach. I know the defense didn't play very well, but they got some key stops and it has to bode well for this team's confidence that they can win ugly games and track meets question one. Confidence level going into Baltimore? Question two, I believe Phil Mickelson is a false fan. Can we get him and miss Kano hooked up? Kicking is close to playing golf and Phil is overcome a lot of Scott tissue to win a major at 50. We need some of that golf psychology for our boy. Can't love you bye. Golf question. I love it. Yeah, wow. I love it. I like the analogy, yeah. Confidence level going into Baltimore guys? Feeling good. I don't care who it is. I'm ready. We read we read four. Tomorrow. Staley's balls. They're gone. And then Phil Mickelson. Hey, whatever works. Whatever helps. If he's a fan, let him come on. Yeah, if I need to try to give volcano volcano viscaino on an all coffee diet, probably, and hey, let him take over our Twitter or our Instagram for a day. That man is the best shit talker in the whole world, so make us. It's awesome. It's so good. He's so funny on social media. Really? Whoever runs his accounts is really funny, but he talks a lot of smack. Wow. Check this out then. Collab with our awesome media team. But yeah, man, I don't know. Whatever we can do to help the volcanos, mental game, let's do it. Let's get him back and peanut butter on your armpits. I mean, if that makes you kick better, dude, I don't care. Yeah, if you've got to drive backwards around the stadium twice to kick better, do it. I don't care. I don't care. Just get better, please , viscaya. We love you, buddy. Quickly. Coach Lago, thank you for asking the question. We move on now to Danny lags. Who asked the question? Does the gunslinger question thoughts on the rest of the schedule at this point? Both dang Young Bucks? All right, the rest of the schedule. We're looking at, obviously, the ravens. Pats, eagles, Vikings steelers, Broncos twice, Bengals, giants, and other Kansas City, Texans, and yet again the Raiders. It just looks nice. It looks really good, dude. We got through the schedule here at the beginning. It's hard. It's a tough. Whereas the rest of the AFC west, I feel like had their cake games in early on and they're gonna have to go through what happened. So I would just happen to Denver. It could not hang with one and three steelers. Yeah, I don't think any of the games are necessarily be easy. Yeah. Never think that way. But looking at records and the strength of the schedule, we have remaining pretty exciting. Looking forward to it. So Danny lags, thank you for asking the question. Moving on now to Bobby Cal drone. Who asks the question? Finding ways to win. Such a better narrative than finding ways to lose. No questions. Just loving the sweating strike. It's tame. This excitement. I love it by love it. Dudes probably say, bro we're just living the high life right now. The amount of instant reactions we've done this season is like almost what we had last year. You know what I mean? Are you with me on that? I'm with you crazy. Yeah, and I love that sentiment. Finding ways to win is better than finding ways to lose. 100%. Yeah. We're getting them done dude. We're getting it done. Bobby, thank you for showing up and making such an excellent comment. We love that here. Let's move it on now to charge her, Chris, who asked the question. Do you see Brandon staley winning courts of the year and do you see the charges winning to AFC west division? Yes. I think this is certified fresh too. Sorry. Okay. Shut the fight fresh. Yes. Yes, yes. Yes. Yeah. I mean, chargers are leading the AFC. Period. Right now. So yes, let's let them lead the AFC. The narrative is just how ballsy he is, but how it's not like reckless. You know what I mean? Aggressive not reckless. Aggressive not reckless. So I competitive casual competitive casual. Yes. Yes. Love it. Charger Chris, thank you for asking the questions. We move it on now to gruder Mick bolt. Who asked the question? Kroy key. After this game, the organization has to realize wherein win now mode to the charges get aggressive and spend money on a defensive tackle in O line, especially with the bushy going down if we go to Baltimore and beat the ravens. I can't imagine them not spending money to make a Super Bowl run. Can't love you boy. Also push work in here, go jam some thumbs ups and buttholes or something, I don't know. Bush wacky. Oh gosh. Yeah, dude. I don't know that it's necessarily that we got to spend the money. I think staley's molding these guys into being the better talent like you said, like if the rams had the worst rushing defense at the start of the season, but turned into the best without making necessarily any big gains or big changes to the players, why not with us? And there's something there is something to be said for like if we're looking this good going into our biweek and there is the opportunity. I'm sure they're always looking for opportunities to operate our roster. Right. Question is, there's like a big trade. I don't think that we've ever seen anything quite like that from Tom. That would be different. But that's just not that's not, I don't know, this is not the MLB. It's not the way. You know? One guy that's going to change everything. No, it's just not really what it is. I could see potentially going to find, I don't know. I just think if there was a guy that we would have heard, we are in win now mode. Regardless of how the season started, that was the attitude coming in one. Because coach Daly wants to keep his job so he always has to be with now and you have Justin Herbert on his rookie contract. Before the season started, we were oh no, it's win now. Right. So they made all the moves they wanted to make..

"Us that we have the worst fishing team. Yes. Well, I don't know man. I just think we have to start rethinking what's important. We get so stat focused. So we're about stats and where we rank and this and that. We're the number one team in the AFC right now. We're four in one, and we're beating really good teams. So it's like does that matter or does in the past Gus Bradley's defense was pretty good against the run? We're always in that top ten to 12. And we lost a lot of games. It was like, what do we care about? Do we care about being ranked high in stat sheets or ws? Because we're getting ws. I know that the defense is gonna get better, man, you have a guy that's only been here for how long putting in a new scheme with new guys and it's gonna take a little bit of time, but we're still getting ws. That's what matters. Exactly. 100%. There you go. Abdul, hey, thank you for asking the question. Let's move it on now to Gavin Gibson. Who asked the question? Big ball staley has to be coach of the year with the amount of improvement with this team and the amount of changing in playing style with still struggling against the run, what would you change to help stop it in key? Of the year. Yeah, yeah. Daly's definitely goes to the ear and run defense and we've kind of talked about it. I know that's on everyone's mind. It's on mine too. I want us to be better against the run. But we're just going to have to buckle up and wait. Right. With staley being the thunder king that he is and being a defense guru. I feel like he has to be aware of what the issues are and he wants to get them fixed. And I think he is, I trust that he's working to get it fixed. And I feel like if we can get through this next game and get to that bi week, I think that's going to help us really analyze what we've done this first part of the season and make a game plan for what to do in the second part. I think we've got to remember too, the kind of opponents we play these first 5 weeks, like there's some good run teams here. And it's hard. It's hard to look at these rankings until you're a bit later in the season when you've had a more rounded amount of games. The cowboys are one of the best rushing teams. The browns are the best rushing team. You know what I mean? We're about to run into another amazing rushing team. So let's get out of here with ws and then we'll figure it out. And the one thing I will say is last year, staley's small sample size, but started out not a great run defense with the rams finished number one. So he's done that before. So let's give him time. Let's let him figure out how he wants to do it. I'm not ready to like, you know, hop on the bat phone and start calling some CFL players. I think we figured it out. They couldn't figure it out. Yeah, a 100%. Gavin, thank you for asking the question. Let's move on now to the Chargers nerd. Daniel, who asked the question if you're a GT, how high a draft pick? Are you willing to part with for an upgrade on interior defensive line? Mike guess the judges know they don't have the personnel, but they will sit with a will to sit tight and fix it in the draft, even if the hot start makes this more of a win now year than it originally was. I think every year is a win now with Herbert's rookie contract. Every year that you have your franchise quarterback on a rookie deal, it's a win now. Yeah. I don't think that we're going to, I don't know. And so somebody that coaches worked with that he knows is sitting out there and you can get him for a 5th, 6th round pick. But I don't, we don't do giving out throughout that go away. No, we don't give up trade capital. So I don't see I don't see anything like that happening. I think our coach are gonna try to coach up what we got and get better. Yeah. A 100% agree. Chargers there, thank you for asking the question we move on now to gossip. Who asks the question? It seems like we are in a good run defense away from being a complete team. Do you think it's possible that TT will look to trade or trust that staley can win the big game with our run defense as is? Trust trust. Baby. Gives daily the more time he will get the run game in a bad place. Baby. Good answer. All right. There you go. Thanks. Thank you for asking the question. Singing so I apologize to everybody. Well, some answers you gotta sing, and that's just what happens. It felt it in my heart. Yeah. And you got to go with it. Thank you goes through for asking the questions, moving on now to both our podcast. Oh. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hi. That's the question. Oh, hey. There. What? Two questions. If you're the charger's GM, would you trade for a defensive tackle or ride out with what you have? Two. So far from what you've seen, where does this charges T break with the 2006 7 9 and 18 chargers? I think we covered the deed tackle thing pretty much to death. But the I don't know dude, this just feels like a different. I can't compare this to another charger team. Just doesn't feel like a different charger team. Our previous amazing charger teams were LT running the ball down people's throats and film being very serviceable. Right. Then when LT moved on, Phil became, you know, airing it up 4000 yards of season, that changed. Right. We've never had this. This is new. This is a new thing that we've never really experienced. And I think it would do it disservice trying to compare it to another previous roster. Or even try to rank it, you know, 5 games into a season. 5 games in. I need to see playoff dubs, you know? Those games all one playoff games. So I need to see playoff victories before you can even get into that stratosphere. Right. Four, one doesn't mean much. You gotta one play out. Get in the playoffs. When the division 2006 7 and 9 never won in the AFC west. You know like to get into that stratosphere you're gonna start winning divisions. Right. As it stands right now, though, pretty promising to start. Let's go find one. Let's keep it going. But hey, both allergy podcasts. Thanks for coming on. Yeah, let's go check them out. Go check out more technology. Yes, get over there. All right, well now let's move on to G, the DMZ. Who asks the question? What's this? What's this lightning everywhere? What this bit has mahomes is now aware. What's this? I can't believe my eyes. We must be dreaming. Wake up CCP. It's in the air. What's this? What's this? What's this? There's something very wrong with this. This people singing songs. What's this? The streets are lined with both them laughing, everybody seems so happy. Have I possibly gone down is this? Keeps how do you ask me to sing.

"Know we gave up a lot of Russia and it sucks, but let's take a second to realize the browns are going to pay baker a max contract. We're going to get a lot more for our monies worth winner time comes. Absolutely. We just thought about that. The browns are kind of in a weird situation. It's like, you have a guy that's okay. But do you are you willing to pay because any quarterback that gets an extension, you're gonna get fat paid. So you have to be okay with paying an okay quarterback big money. Or do you roll the dice and move on from him and try to find somebody that's better than okay? That's a real shitty world to be in. I'd rather be in our situation. At least I'll pay you the man. At least next couple years were, you know, Herbert, 'cause you can't even negotiate a new contract with them for another year, I think. So yeah, sign all the guys right now. And give him all the weapons and let's go. Let's go. Yeah. And baker, good luck on your further endeavors and love your commercials, though. Godspeed. Yes. Commercial funny. Commercials were great. Yeah, at least you have a place to stay at the stadium. You can live there and plays. Commercials are pretty good. Awesome. Kevin, thank you for asking the question. We move on now to Lexi mcwilliams. Who asked the question? I think I'm late. But scrutin is gone. So no more Gruden grinders. I think that sounds like we can hold onto the division. Pretty solidly now. Not really a question just an excuse to say. The Raiders. Lexie asked for the Elsa from frozen as if my voice has any reflections. Are you telling me, Lexie? Are you traveling Turner as Elsa? We didn't get to talk about this, but this happened just before we got on. Rudin, no more, the coach. I don't know if the Raiders are excited about that. He sucks. Like he's a bad coach. I'm not, I wasn't mad about him being the coach of the Raiders. Right. He's not good. We learned anything from this is don't be a racist asshole. And say, awful things about people. Just don't do it, and you'll be okay, but how fitting is it that the Raiders coach is that guy? You know what I mean? Of course, the guy that is just a scum of the earth is the Raiders head coach. That coach. It's so fitting. I'm surprised they fired him to be honest. They should have been like a brand of rays. For the brand. I saw it's crazy. I thought right when this happened, I was like, oh, I wonder if Gus Bradley's gonna get a shot. I just think of that too. Interim head guy, but they already announced that rich biscotti Psaki. I don't know. Sounds like he's a special pastry. The pastry. He's the special team's coach. He has less experience than the NFL than Gus. No, coaching experience, which has so I'm shocked, maybe turned it down, but can't wait to get out of here. This place sucks. Raiders are in shambles right now. They're not going to sucks. And I love it. I love love. I'm seeing people on Twitter retweeting all these raider fans like saying how pissed they are at season ticket holders who sold their seats to bears. They got sold. Some guy said he's never been so embarrassed to be a raiders fan. Guess what bitch pile it on? Get ready for all of that in Las Vegas, man. Hard. Oh, it's all day, so here's the thing. They're finally not in Oakland, who wants to go to Oakland. Like, a weight teams aren't going to go to Oakland to watch a game. You put yourself San Diego or Los Angeles? That's why we get so many visitors visiting fans. Those are cities you actually want to go to. Vegas. Yeah. Every single opposing team, they're gonna circle that game on their calendar, like, that's the one we're gonna go to. Right. So you're finally getting a taste of what we live in constantly. So now you're gonna tell me that the Raiders don't have any fans? No, they have fans that's just opposing teams want to go to Vegas. Like they want to go to our city. So, yeah, you finally get a taste. We have a lot of charger fans. This is just happens when you live when your teams in a cool city. Exactly. Facts. Socket raiders. And your story suck it. Enjoy your special teams in a rim head coach. I'm sure that'll take you all the way. Let's move it on now to bolt dude, 8 four O 7. Who asked the question? Good old western shoot at it so far goes to Herbie and dim bolts. Staley for coach of the year? I don't know about you guys, but I have all the faith in the world and this offense to always put a porch when needed. Bolt up. I think Daly has to be the number one candidate for coach of the year. So there's like hands down. All the decisions that he's made, all the fourth down stuff, the games that we've won already big signature wins against big teams already. He goes to the arrowhead his first time ever and gets the W, Kansas City. So it's like, yeah, he has to be the favorite. Now we're 5 weeks in. It's not a done deal, but he has to be the favorite right now, for sure. Just go for the people voting on this. Go watch all in. And you're good. You'll know who to vote for. It easy campaign. Yeah, for a coach that's playing as aggressive as he is, but not reckless. Aggressive, and succeeding. How could you not? How could you not? And there's inspiring as he is as well. Certified fresh. Super delayed. Taylor and flight certified fresh. Flip it around. All right, thank you, both dude, ate four O 7. We move on now to rat human. Who asked the question? Dude. Who will this get a favorite place this week? I think what Kyle's just said earlier about how staley treats these treats his players. He's not going to I don't think that's going to happen this week, no. Am I getting more and more frustrated by his lack of consistency? Yes, but I think that sends a message to your team when you do that, you know, you're struggling you're out. I don't think that's his style. Everything he's done up to this point. Right. So am I ready to find somebody? I'm getting there. That's for sure. But I think if there's anything that we've learned in this off season is that we don't know what the hell we would do as GMs because there's a lot of choices that I would have made that we didn't make. I'm really glad that we didn't know. I don't know. I'm not the guy. Yeah, as a fan, the scanner was kind of getting on my last nerve. But I don't think that he's going to be out. And on stage, I just hate kickers. I just don't like kickers at all. Just none of them. They're just, they're just all they can do is blow it. It's like, in my mind, that's all they can do. So even trying to be positive. I think visca was gonna come back McAfee. Yeah. What about John Carney? Oh, it's sweet John Carney, you're right. There's a small exclusive club. Okay. Like the new age of the current brand, sure, okay. Fair enough. Didn't you did one of you guys send me that video where it was ty long on the bench with vizcaino and he was like, I love this. I think he was motivating him, dude. He's like, don't miss this opportunity. It was something like that. Yeah, ty long tweeted about it afterwards. I wasn't yelling at him. I was trying to encourage him to get back out there and be confident. Because when they were sitting on the bench, having that conversation, that was when we were going down to try to win. He's like, you're going to get another shot. You got to go win this game. Don't get in your head, go make a go make a kick and redeem yourself. Right. So he'll have opportunities. As fans all we can do is support him and.

"Clean looking boy. All right, folks, we start off ask both fam with an old favorite of ours, blond surfer. Yeah. Who asked the question? Blond surfer gave me the choice of picking whatever voice I want. And I think this one, I'm just gonna give it straight because the sentiment is just too good. I've been a fan of the Chargers since I was ten. I'm now 24 and after 14 years in the making, I finally attended my first game ever versus Cleveland. Seeing my team playing in person when I've only ever watched them play on TV was so fucking surreal. It felt like a dream the entire four quarters. In fact, I'm convinced it was. The atmosphere, the people, the emotions, ran through my head at a 1 million mph. Numerous times, I just sat in my seat and thought to myself God. This is nothing short of beautiful. I love life. I love my team, and I love this community. No lie. I wonder to cry at points, LMAO, but hey, I'm right there with you, buddy. Anyway, today was special. We clearly have so many fans and all of them where the friendliest most chill people you could be around. This was a moment I will forever appreciate both the up responsibly. What daily is doing here is special. Whatever happens this season, let's appreciate it. For this will be the season everything changed. Okay, love you by. Oh, you want to make me run through war? Oh my God. Hitting the fields there. Right off the bat. I love it. I wanted to get that out there first 'cause that was just such a cool. It's such a different experience being at a physical game. It was just a different thing. And if you haven't had a chance to go to a game yet, you gotta go. This is the time to go. This team, this coach, this, it's just the time to go. And I love everything you said, you know, I get overwhelmed by this team all the time. So I'm glad you had an awesome time blond surfer. I also I will say we do have the best fans. It seems like every team that we play, they always the fans are always fighting each other. I just saw the chiefs, the chiefs, fans. One of their like big notorious fans. Got like knocked out by another cheese fan. They fought each other and he just knocked about the stairs. Oh, wow, I didn't see that. Yeah. Yeah, dude. She's falling apart. They don't know how to be to the tree. They're losing it. Yeah. Awesome. Hey, blind and surfer dude. I feel you buddy. I'm so glad you got to go to that game. And first one to go to. Hopefully get to go to more, buddy. Hopefully get to go to more. Let's move on now to Mark busnelli junior who asked the question I can not sort of call any time in my fourth quarter loving life that I've been so excited on how team is playing. It gives me a ringy tingy in my ding DD. I just want to make love to this entire team. Maybe it's still is luscious balls or just a nip in the air, have you guys ever been excited for our future? Please use that honey German voice for that one red hot, I forgot to add kill love you by. Oh my God. Tingy in my dang. Dude. Excitement is all time high right now, man. I think everyone's feeling it. Absolutely. It's palpable. And can not be ignored. I think it's the thing. You can't just brush us under the rug and be like, yeah, the Chargers played against whatever. Yeah. You can't ignore how good the charges are playing right now because it's such a complete one 80 to what it has been in the past. And it's so interesting because I forgot to tell this, but I work with two chiefs fans and we send it in one area and we edit and we do our work. And the energy at that time keep going. Tell me more. Especially sweet 'cause I didn't want to see anything to them. They didn't want to say anything to me. It took about an hour before any eye contact was made. And then I could tell, they weren't like mad at me. They were just frustrated how good we are now. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? So even these other opposing fans are concerned with our enthusiasm and happiness because we are legitimate now. And it is a different feeling walking into a room and she's fans not being like, oh, give me all the praise. We have Patrick Mahomes. That's just done. Level playing field man. We might take some, we might lose some of you guys, but this is a level playing field now. Absolutely. We are too legit to quit. Thank you. Thank you, mark this Nelly junior for asking the question, we move on now to Justin saver cool. Who asks the question? Holy shit what an awesome game. What was your favorite play from the game? Keep up the great work guys, I appreciate it, especially thank you Adam for taking a quick photo with me today. I appreciate it. K love, you buy. Just Dustin, dude. I think that was a pretty good photo. I think I recall correctly. That was a pretty good photo. That picture. All right. Favorite plays. Favorite play of the game. My favorite plays easier was the fourth and two in the third quarter when we went for it on our own 24 yard line. Yeah. Well, now if you explained it, that quickly became one of my favorites too. I mean, obviously, all those Mike Williams deep balls were awesome. Yeah. Watching Austin get picked up into the end zone was pretty funny. It was bizarre. But the fourth Alan conversion for me was that was just the whole game change. There was something about that Jared Cook play on that last drive where it was like, oh shit. And you see the field goal line and you see him just gamble past it. Just flying past that field goal line. And at that moment, I think I lost my mind the most. I was freaking out on all those fourth downs, but I was like, okay, this is going to happen. I really know this is going to happen. Right. So there's just so many plays, man. There's a lot of so many good boys. Yeah. The same Mike Williams get as open as he did. That was that was probably one of the most exciting moments for me. It was just all of us seeing it in all of us pointing and saying, there do it there. Do it. And do it, dude soon do it and he did it. So that was pretty awesome. Justin, awesome. Thank you, buddy for pop and by and thanks for saying hey to me. I appreciate it. Let's move it on now to Kevin kurnik, who asked the question. I.

"Another strong running team. If we can get to the buy 5 and one, we cooking. We're cooking. And we can talk about the outlook for the rest of the season moving on from there. Fellas. Tell me a little bit about what you think about. Whether or not the way that the charges are winning games currently is a sustainable. Sorry, got tongue tied there for a second, keep in mind, still functioning, operating off of the reality, taking a nap after this. Do you think they can keep winning his way on the edge? I mean, it's worked out so far for the most part, but you can only play with fire, but for so long. What improvements do you think have to be made can be avoided in order for this team to continue to be a legit contender? That's going to be it for me though. You guys know what to do. I let me the rest of the week on Twitter as TOP underscore FL YT three. Somewhere around there. On the Twitter machine. We'll chop it up. Whatever you want to talk about, charge your wise. If you want to troll raid his fans, I'm always up for that too, so. But you know what it is. Bowl gang or do not pay. Catch up later. Okay let me buy. Craig. You trying to steal something my voice acting work later? Do you think do you think I lose my voice and all of a sudden you slide in is now the third charge check guy? You think he's just going to steal my job? No, dude, that was awesome. That was so damn funny. The point of Austin Eckler, right? Yes. I do think that last year with coach Len if he had fumbled like I put you on the show. Yeah. Yeah, you're done. Our coach Jose is like, nah, that's not it. You're great football player. You made a mistake. Go make up for it. Right. You know, like, that's what you always coach kids. You made a mistake. Stuff happens. Go make up for it, and go make a big boy to redeem yourself. Exactly. And that's not about it. It's about how you respond. The thing that I loved about what he said to is when he was talking about being down he's like, no, I believe that they're going to win. And I think it was that key word of believe. Hearing that made me think like in the past, it's hope. I hope we win. I hope we can make this happen. I hope we can convert this fourth down. It has changed now from hope to believe. I believe he's going to do this. I believe we're going to win. And it's a slightly different connotation, but it just has a totally different meaning. And I think it's a 100% what is happening this season. We have gone from hope to believe. And I love it. It's such a great feeling. As far as what it is that we need to fix or correct to ensure that we can continue to win, in my opinion, I think it's the kicking game. We can't be losing points, especially these extra points. These give me points. These are the ones that you have to make this. You have to make this. This is I'm not asking you a kick from 50 60 yards out. I'm asking you extra points. I'm asking for one more point. You've got to get a sense. It's so weird too, 'cause he just like, it feels like it's a mental thing almost pulling kicks to the point where they're not almost not hitting the net. There's so missed. Right. So it's a cause for concern. Like you give him certain amount of leeway, but then you're like, really look at this like we can't keep going crazy and having to go for two on everything. But the one thing I would say that just one player that I noticed that if he makes a couple more tackles. You erase two touchdowns off that board, and that's added. Adderley tried to jump, jump a play and make a pick and he got caught and scored a touchdown. Same thing with the joku touchdown. Like, there's no reason he should have ran 60 or whatever yards it was for a touchdown. It was just bad tackling. So I think this was a really bizarre game in the sense that I think their offensive line probably one of the better ones we've seen. I haven't seen an offensive line get to our second level and get on our linebackers quite as quickly as that team did. And then we just weren't, you know, our team is all about shooting the gaps having the backup guys come in and stop those stop those running backs. And they just weren't making tackles. It just wasn't happening. So I think that's the simple answer that hopefully this is just a fluke. Because up until this game, we were allowing 20 points a game, right? This is I feel like a weird little outlier that we just ran into. We just ran into a really good team. And we had to duke it out. It's like coach said. You know, you got these games are all going to be different. You just got to find ways to win. So we found a way to win. Absolutely. Any different opinions they're coach? No, I agree. I think it's just special teams need to get better. It was not very good at all on Sunday. We started the ball at the 15. It felt like on every single time they kicked off, and every time we kicked off, they started at the 30. Right. It was like 15 years, 15 yards worth of difference in starting field position, which you can't have. So yeah, I don't know what that one. We didn't obviously didn't punt very much. They didn't pop very much so. Yeah. It was mostly just kick offs in Pis, but yeah, both of those areas we did not do a very good job and we were very mediocre. Yeah, we just finished checking out the game against the colts and the ravens. And I think the Raven's got a block kick. There. So that's cause for concern if they're going to be that aggressive against our special teams. But we will wait to see next week, Craig, thank you again for popping on man. Always love to get your insight and your witty words of wisdom and you pump the brakes on those voices, man, all right? We got one out this podcast, okay? Don't take this from me. Please.

"A big brass set. Like mine, bomb bomb bomb. New brand is daily theme song, ladies and gents. CC game. Who? The rest of both family. What did do? She got Craig in Texas. Coming to you with another winning edition of the Craig experience. Hi, yes. Victory. Tastes so sweet. Soak it in folks. Tell you what. That was crazy. Even crazier? The fact that I was driving while watching the game at the same time. And part in the energy levels and the tone of my voice. I went to a concert last night, and I'm operating off of about three hours of sleep. So I'm driving a struggle bus, but I'm gonna get it done for y'all. Imagine doing 80 with that roller coaster of emotions going on. Wasn't the safest thing for me to do, but I made it in one piece and just in time when I got to my destination in parked. For that last Hail Mary attempt. To watch the ball get basically harmlessly fall down to the turf, and thus, you know, basically essentially being able to do another victory lap. Go out there and that formation take a knee and roll out with another dub. And so far, which was heavily popular with charger fans as opposed to browns fans. I know that's not gonna be a big story because that's not what media likes to see or say. But we're past that, just like this week, the story will probably be about Baker Mayfield and all that he didn't do. And less about what the Chargers did. But I digress. Who cares? We'll just keep taking the W's. Screw which I'll think. So let's just go right ahead and get into it areas of opportunity because we want to knock these out really quickly because there's so much good to talk about that we're not about to overshadow or bring it down with a whole bunch of the negative stuff. It just is what it is, it's the truth, so we got to talk about it. The defense wasn't great at all. It looked like it took a step back. We knew what the brows were about. They were going to come down and punch the ball down our throats. Because technically, we don't have the horses in the interior defensive line to withstand a decent offensive line. We go running game. We've seen that already. What was surprising, though, was the past defense. I did not see that coming. You know, baker had all day long to get the ball off. There wasn't a ton of pressure. There were instances where I saw the browns triple teaming, Joey. And no one else was getting home. Gotta clean that up. I'm sure they will. I wouldn't be shocked to see some moves made for maybe some interior defensive line help as the season progresses, especially if they keep racking up wins like this. They're gonna want to strengthen the team to make a real serious run. Here into the playoffs as we get to that point. But, you know, outside of that. Kicking game. I'm tired of talking about kickers. Let's be honest, a lot of some of these fall down attempts specifically in field goal range. Not only have a lot to do with staley's just huge gonads, but also the fact that there's no trust in the kicking game. And why should there be? There was two missed extra points yesterday, so I could definitely figure it out. I mean, just even moving on from that. Let's get into the fun stuff. The offense. I'm gonna tell you right now the way that they were moving the ball up and down the field. When we were down 14 points, I remember saying out loud. We're still gonna find a way to win this game and I genuinely believe it. It's the Brandon staley effect. He's made us all believe it's especially me. You know, of course, we know in seasons past, this is a game we lose. And we've been saying that. Often now, like, we're not losing those games. This was a shootout, and it did seem like whoever had the ball that was gonna win. And at no point was I really, really afraid. And that saying a lot because, you know, coming from, you know, particularly a Jade charges fan here in the past. It takes a lot to move the needle for me. And BSB is doing it. Justin Herbert, man. What else is left to say about the dude just put the cape on him? He's our savior. He's doing the weekend and we got in at historic paste. It's really crazy. He even bought out rose bowl, Jay herbal yesterday. And you see that 6 foot 6, 240 pound gliding gazelle out there. I think he matched his Russian total for the year, Justin yesterday's game. So awesome to see some added element Donald parm, my whole prediction about him becoming a bigger part of the offense. It looks like it's coming to fruition as the weeks go by. Scored the first 7 points in the rears game. Same thing this week. Just keeping it moving. My will, you'll pay that man. We can't let him leave. Gotta pay him. And I'm perfectly fine with it. He's now I receive one. And that's freaking crazy to say when the other option in your wire receiving core is Keenan Allen. But is what it is. The more the merrier, more weapons we got, the better we are, give Justin all he needs, just keep it pushing. Austin, ackland man, I salute you. Battling back after that fumble. Show some real resolve, man. We know in the past, under Anthony Lynn, putting the ball on a carpet, typically meant you were going into the doghouse. You know, staley showed his faith in heckler, kept putting the ball in his hands and pay dividends, do still got into the end zone a few times and the difference in the game. Still, just making plays every weekend, and we got just an amazing key cog in the offense. And honestly, the offenses evolving weekly. The playbook is opening up. You can see the growth. Formations, plays being utilized that weren't earlier on. You can just kind of see it developing as they go along. And the more you can put on Herbert's plate, every week, the more you have to make defenses, you know, go out and have to be accountable for the easier life is for everyone on that side of the ball. And you also got to give them bar to his just do man. Seem sometimes like he gets bogged down and play calling, and he just does something amazing to make it up. So no complaints whatsoever. It's just the evolution of it is super duper awesome to behold. And yo, snapple fact. Some of you on my nose already, but apparently before Sunday, teams were four four 63 and when scoring 40 points and having zero turnovers, not anymore. Anyway, we kind of talked about like special teams and everything. Oh, yeah. Let me give a shout out to mister hill. KJ, you're still not my favorite. Still don't love you back there, but you had a really, really clutch part return to start off that last possession. Awesome on you coming through. That's all I got, not gonna overdo it. Hey, heel was really tremendous about this. It's the refusal to charge her now. Honestly, I think that term is being altered to mean something totally different. By seasons in charging is going to mean is going to take on a whole new meeting. It's probably going to mean going forward on fourth down and converting it almost all the time because I think the only missed fourth down converging a team has right now was that fake punt versus the rigors. Don't quote me on that. Fact check me. I could be wrong, but I think that's what it is currently right now. But you know what else is awesome? Really quickly. The rest of the AFC west. You know why?

I don't think there's a whole lot you can do about it for a hot minute. You gotta uphill climbing. I don't care. Giving my best friend.

"What was it like for you watching that game? Well, first off, I want to say to both fans showed up for this game. At least in my section, Monday was 75, 25 raiders to charges. Totally reversed this time around. There's just nothing, but fans everywhere, and it made the game fired up. But I was, I mean, being a fan for so long, I was nervous and I was in the whole thinking of, okay, let's wait and see. Let's wait and see. Kind of like Kyle said when they were going for four instead of field goal that I was thinking of myself, what the hell are you doing? I know, right. Points. This is my white messing around, but I was proven wrong and I was telling people around me like, my bad call, you know. I got to get used to how this offense and how this whole poaching staff protest games because it's so much more exciting and keeps the edge of your seat and the place is just rocking. It was so awesome just to see this fight going on like a boxing match, you know. We've gone, ah man, it was an awesome game. And it's like, you have these games you go to that like leave a stamp. It feels like if you were at that game experiencing that, like, that's like one of those like stamp games that you'll remember for a long time. Exactly. It felt just like that. And I'm so thrilled that I was there, and I was like, man, I can't wait to see what the next games are going to be patriots. Vikings, I can't wait for these games to happen. Just like, I hope they're just as awesome. I know. Yeah, being a season ticket holder is so much fun and having the ability to kind of like just be around on the charger fans 'cause I live out in the middle of Missouri. So it's hard for me to get around to the charger fans, but like, man, our community is getting really awesome. What have you noticed from some of the fan interactions and being at the game? The bolt fam vibe like. Oh, everyone's so friendly. I mean, I went myself Fernando like you guys had last week. Sweet. I felt Adam I said hi to Adam over there at this snappy. But it's as neat to see people like that and know a lot of these people you guys feature in the tailgates and the organizations interact with them now. I said, I don't do social media to welcome. My wife now follows them on Instagram and stuff, so she's always pointing at all. Someone said we're having drinks over here, let's go hang out. Yeah, it's just such a good family environment and such a good value to pump that with, you know, thousands of other charger fans. And we're all sharing the same excitement, you know, it's the same experience of what a great, great season, you know, we're having right now. The four and one feels real nice. Feels real nice. And I thought I was going to be happy with three and three. To me, that was going to be heaven. You know, the innocent, but I can't wait for one. Dude, in legitimately looking at 5 and one before the buy. This is an exciting year to be a charger fan and from when we talked before we got started, you said you had something exciting you might want to share with us. Let me try to keep this short, but then what COVID in the past few years is tragic and it's hard it was for a lot of people. There was a few benefits that happened. I got to go on some chat rooms and beat a lot of people I would never met before. Sure. So one of the zoom groups I met with had a guy there that noticed my charger hat one night, and he's like, yeah, you know, I kind of a contractor for the organization. And I worked with the soccer team and the charters I could still hub. And I'm like, well, that's cool, you know, that's really awesome. So I got the opportunity to meet him when the restrictions lit up a little bit. Yeah. And he says, hey, you know, stick around. I got something for you. You might appreciate. I don't know, whatever. But it comes back and he hands me this. And he says, do you know what this is? And I said, no, I don't get it. And he goes, well, one of the duties I have is I handled the cannon for the charger games and he goes, when we had a retrofit the new logo on the canon, I got to keep one of the two pieces and he goes, I think you would appreciate it. And man, it was like, Christmas morning. I lit up at the green. I was fixing my brothers and family. Oh my God, look what the hell I got. And it's really cool because you can actually see the marks on the wheels on the back side. And wheels and everything. And I was totally stoked. I actually got to meet him again on the raider game. He came up to my seat to say hi, because he does all the pre game tunnel special effects on things. But you guys are going to kick out of that. Yeah, I do that. Gorgeous. That's like the first bolt on the new bolt on the canon. That's like legit. Keep that somewhere safe. Yeah, so one of these days when I get a space on the wall, it's going to go up, but in honor, you know, with the photograph and people can pay homage and they come over. Yeah, it's just like kissing. God, that's so cool, man. How random, cool, you just met some guy in zoom and he just happened to be running the canon for the challenge. Yeah, that was just having me so lucky and I try to share that story with fans. I know, because they get a kick out of me. That's awesome. I know, it's rad. So all right, well, let's get you out of here on this, you know, we have Baltimore Ravens coming up. We were talking about it. We could go 5 and one. What do you think we need to do to go 5 and one against these ravens? Well, I like to think that the defense could play like we did in mahomes and try to contain Lamar Jackson. You know, as the he's going to get his place, but if we can contain this Ronnie, I think we'll do a lot better than we did this past week because we're not going to be facing that two headed running to solve. Yeah. I think we'll be able to hopefully lock them down pretty good. I think I'm pretty confident we could probably pull the win out. Awesome man. Yeah. Can't wait for this game. I'm so excited. Cloud 9 right now. So and hopefully we can meet up. I'm gonna be at the Vikings game, so maybe we can meet up at a rally and say hi. Yeah, absolutely. All right man, well, thank you so much for your time. It was great having you, Michael, and yeah, we'll talk to you soon my man. Hi, thanks, Kevin. I love you, my man. Yeah, I love you bye. No, that guy. Michael, I know that guy. What a stud. Dude, what how cool to have a piece of physical thing of chargers history. Yeah. That's amazing. Mike maudlin's losing his mind right now. If he's listening to this podcast, he's I hope to hope he's given goddess little something about the canon little history on the canon. That would be pretty sweet to add Mike mon Linda's just dropping a little something for you. Something to look at, but oh man, Michael, that was so damn cool. That was what great stories, man. Again, just love these fan focuses and how they how they connect us all together. This beautiful umbrella that is the Chargers. This beautiful bolt umbrella. Awesome guy. It's just cool. You met him. We're meeting everyone. That's the best thing out of all of this is actually getting able to get face to face with people. Shake hands, talk and chat with these other people that some sick and tired of talking to you guys. Spread my wings and talk to others for reals. Awesome. All right, well, it's now time to go on to our next segment. We've got some killer wins now and every time we've been win and he's been bringing the heat. Let's see if he brings it this week.

"These big plays are when the defense isn't lined up. They're not ready. They're not ready to go. So it's so interesting the plan of attack that Lombardi has in terms of the hurry up offense, the speed at which they get going so the other team doesn't have the ability to line up correctly. And then you see what happens Mike Williams. He doesn't happen. It just goes back to, and this is kind of it's kind of a repetitive point, but they game plan for each week. It's something different. They have a unique, this is what we're doing this week. And it was very clear that this week, one of the unique aspects that they went into this game with is on third down, we're gonna know huddle and get to the line quick so they can't switch personnel. They can't change coverage. They're just gonna have to run what we already saw on second down. And it'll give us the advantage. 'cause you know, coach is up there. He calls his second home play. He's now looking at the coverage there and on second down and thinking, okay, what's the beat? How do I beat that coverage? And then has it boom in Justin's ear right when that second down plays over. And that was the I was obviously practiced. That was the game plan specifically for the browns this week. It's just cool to see your coaches each week coming up with a master game plan. You know, like something specific and unique for that opponent. Now obviously our defensive game plan didn't we had one. It just didn't execute, didn't work. Yeah. But offensively, they had a very clear concise. Idea and plan and they executed. Absolutely. And then they also talked to staley on the fan turnout and he said, what we are trying to respect here every time we go out and today was great was a great chance against a really good team. What you got to be able to do is you've got to be able to be good teams in this league. And I felt like to be able to do it in front of our home crowd, hopefully that draws even more in the next game. We are proud of our fans and hope to see more powder blue as the season goes on . Yeah. You know, the more they win the less people are going to sell their tickets and they're going to show up. Yeah. Or LA LA's people living in LA are going to want to go to the game and cheer for the charters. Right. What you just watched like, that was one of the most fun games to watch all Sunday and you can do that in LA. You can just go to the game and watch that in person experience the way you experienced it. This is like we talked about. It's like Herbert is changing this fan base. It was gonna bring more people in. I know, I know you're obsessed with Herbert. You're very obsessed. I know. But it is more than just Herbert bringing everyone to the stadium. But the reason for the season at the moment, bro are coaching staff is incredible and they're doing a great job. Do me a favor. Go watch all the ESPN's all the Fox Sports all the stuff that's happened today has been about Herbert. I'm talking. About just like shut your mouth. That's all I had. Actually, I'm not saying that sounds like you're not in love with Herbert and I kind of want to revoke your card right now. I'm just trying to cool your debts. You know why? Leave your family and go try to chase after Justin Herbert. Why? I think you're gonna do. It's meant to be if it's meant to be it's meant to be. Right. All right.

I think I'm gonna build in some pop quizzes. I know Kevin's gonna fail. Right. Here we go, folks. Let's do whatever. Whatever. Great moments are born great opportunity. All comes down to today. You think this helmet and you put it frighten his numbers, okay? I want to see nothing but not bubbles in his mouth. A lot of people want to blame coaches for a lot of things. But we shut them down because we can't. Because I believed in you. And I wish I could say something that was class union inspirational. I just wouldn't be our style. Let's do it. That's right, folks. It's time for another coach's corner. And for this episode, coach is going a little rogue. He doesn't have a question to pull from. He just saw something about this game that he couldn't help himself. He just had to talk about this. So coach, what do you got for us today? Does it have to do Justin Herbert? Justin Herbert's on the place. Yeah, he's got the boys. I'm excited. I'll make sure to talk about some other chargers too. We'll find out I'm a charger fan. Yeah. So I wanted to look at the fourth down conversions. Obviously, it was a huge turning point in the game. After going back in the moment, there was a lot going on very emotional time when all these plays started to happen. So after having sat down and thought about it more, the more I thought about it, the more I understand what coach was trying to do. What has been the quarter that's kind of screwed us the last three weeks. The third quarter has just been our bugaboo for whatever reason. We have these big leads. Like last week you can see raiders and we gave up 14 points boom boom boom just like that and it almost became a game again. Same thing against the chiefs. We had a little league. They came back boom. They scored a couple times in the third quarter, got a little lead on us. It started to trend to be a difficult, a difficult time for us coming out of the half. And again, in this game, the Brown scored a touchdown in the end of the second quarter, we then got the ball and fumbled and they kicked the field goals. They got ten points in a matter of like a minute and a half. And then they got the kick-off to start the second half and they went down and scored a touchdown. So they had 17 points in a 5 minute span. And we didn't even have the ball. So momentum was 100% all theirs. We had no momentum. We hadn't even had the ball for a while. Our defense wasn't really able to do anything and getting a stop or forcing a turnover..

"Can pipkins is still floating around. They're haunting our halls. It'll be up. It's definitely something to keep an eye on, right? That's one of the big storylines here this week is seeing how all of that transpires and who becomes new twos and what gets elevated if we go after anyone to try to try to pick somebody up. That's a new storyline to keep keep an eye on. Absolutely. Looking over at Daniel popper, there was a I love this. I love this. Quote from Austin ekeler, he said, Austin Eckler said rashawn slater told a running backs to stop chipping because he was more comfortable taking on miles Garrett and the browns pass rushers one on one were Sean is a beast. Ekeler said. And not only, okay, there's two things to this quote. Not only did he did he feel comfortable enough going one on one with one of the best pass rushers in the game. Right. But he had the nuts to say not Austin Eckler stop like stop helping me. Right. You know, like, as a rookie to go to one of the captains of the team and be like, dude, knock it off, I'm good. Don't help me anymore. For those that aren't as up to speed on the lingo, what is chipping mean? Yeah, so they're running back. Before he goes out on a pass or a route, they'll come and just give a little bump to the defensive end or whoever the pass rush is. It's supposed to help you because it slows them down a little bit. Basically you have a double team on that posture for a split second. So that way you can know that you have help one way or the other. But yeah, Rashad's like, dude, 'cause it's a little bit unknown, like when is he gonna show up? When does that help coming? How much force does that help gonna bring? 'cause the one sack that rashawn allowed to miles Garrett was Austin Eckler came to chip and he chipped him so hard that he pushed him down inside to an open gap. And rashon wasn't ready to slide inside with him because he kind of just got forced in there. Yeah, that's pretty crazy that he had the balls to be like Austin stop helping me and the balls to be like, no, I'll just take these guys on one on one. I'm good. I feel comfortable doing this. I love that. Well, it's just a killer mentality. He's ready to do it all on his own. I love, I love that. Yeah, I mean, he's been playing lights out, you know, this entire season. And so he's just what I get. What a home run for picking him up in the draft. I'm looking over at SportsCenter. They were dropping some nice little factoids. Apparently, the browns made NFL history and still lost to the Chargers. The browns scored 42 points had 532 yards with zero turnovers, they are the first team in NFL history, including the playoffs to lose when having either 40 points in zero turnovers or 40 points 500 yards in zero turnovers. The highest losing score. Justin Herbert is a monster dude. Like, you look at this, no turnovers. We had a turnover and still won. Right. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. It's just the fourth fourth down balls. Fourth down balls are strong. Clearly. And it's Herbert being able to literally do anything outside of the pocket. The way he was throwing on the run while scrambling. He stiff armed a guy and tossed it, like, we are so lucky. We are so lucky. It's crazy. It's crazy. Yeah, obviously it's the whole offense, right? Our offensive line is an incredible click and dude. They're clicking around that we have in Austin Eckler and Mike Williams who's now Williams breakout guy that everyone that said, everyone that wanted us to cut Mike Williams, you need to go on Twitter and apologize, like right now. Go watch and go apologize because there was a lot a lot of shade getting thrown at Mike. Sure. I think at times we were kind of like, yeah, we're paying a lot. But let's hold on hope. Let's see what happens. Right. But man, if I ever did say anything negative, I apologize right now because he is proving everyone wrong. And that man is going to get paid. Absolutely. He's been playing so to think that we've had him on our roster this long and haven't seen this. It just shows you what Lombardi and this new offensive staff is doing. It's just crazy. They locked the key they locked it for Mike Williams, and he's a stud. They cracked the code for sure. And talking about Herbert boy. This guy just can't stop breaking records himself. Most 300 yard performances in NFL history through the first two seasons of a career. Well, for a while, it was Patrick Mahomes and Dan Marino with ten, but look out boys. And there's still a lot of football left. Turbo is now sitting by himself at number one with 11 300 yard performances in his first two seasons. Crazy. He's our trigger man. He's coached staley said superstar as coach. Yeah. He's a gangster, a 100%. He's a superstar gangster. Certified certified gangster. He's a football Jesse. Was that one? I can't remember. Let's see, looking over at field Yates. Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert through his first 20 games , 5912 passing yards. Second most by any QB in NFL history and 50 total touchdowns. Wait, what 20 games 50 touchdowns? Yeah. He now has 7 games with at least three touchdowns and zero interceptions the most by any quarterback through his first two seasons in NFL history. And I don't know if I went and watched this game a couple times today. And when there was the Keenan Allen, they thought it was a fumble and they were running it back for a touchdown. Like Herbert put his shoulder down and he launched the guy out of bounding. Like, hit him. Hard. So, you know, he's still got that in him, like the knocking out linebackers thing. He just, you know, doesn't get to show very often. He's always ready to play. That's a pretty pretty big bummer. You think that you like recovered a fumble and you're running back? I'm gonna score a touchdown. I'm gonna score a touchdown. The quarterback is out of nowhere. Trucks. And then not only that. But it's not a fumble, and it goes back and Justin gets the ball back, you know? Yeah. Injury on that one. Oh well, all right, well now let's take a look at some of the post press conference quotes, coach staley had this to say about Herbert, to win a game like this that turns into a track meet, you have to have a superstar quarterback to win it, and that's what he is. You can't win a game like that without Justin Herbert. The love affair continues. Yeah, coach and Justin. Game recognizing game that's free. And gee. Oh, there it was. Oh, there it was. You made it. I love it. Let's see. They talk to her, but as well on his fourth downplays. We always talked about going into that huddle and feeling confident and knowing each other, knowing all the players in that huddle are special players and any of those guys can make a play on fourth down. I know we've got the right guys out there. Have you heard her? He's so he gets asked about himself all the time, and he can't talk about himself. No. He won't talk about it. He talks about everybody else. He's basically Teflon when he's talking about himself. It just like rubs off of him and no, this goes to this person who runs off him. Whatever you say bounces off.

Chargers' Derwin James, Joey Bosa Have 'Warrior' Performances Against Chiefs
"Some of the things that happened while we were watching this game and I remember seeing this, it was like, I think this was before the half. They show Derwin James running to the locker room and it was like, well, wait a minute. The defense is still out there. Yeah, yeah. Durham, where are you going? I didn't see this. I didn't know he disappeared. I didn't see it. Oh yeah, scared me. The telecast, they put it, it was like they highlighted it and then Tony Romo was like, oh yeah, and derwent headed back to the locker room. He was like, he was full spray. He's like, let's get this x-ray done and get out of here. Well, yeah, whatever it was. I mean, at the time, we didn't know. He wasn't limping. He wasn't carted off. It was like he was just going. So it was like, weird, like the defense is out there. What's going on? Come to find out after Fernando Ramirez talked to Joey Bosa, apparently Joey Bosa said that Derwin James, his shoulder dislocated. And so he ran to the locker room to get his shoulder popped back in, and it made it just seemed like nothing because he was pretty much back out there like immediately. So the Brandon still he said that both of those guys Joey Bosa, who was obviously playing injured, we knew that it would be might not have played on Sunday, but he did play through the pain, played amazingly as did Derwin James. Staley called them both warriors and understandably

And then just like, when he's back there, there's no sense of urgency. She's like, all right, let's go. Go. Yeah. And crazy, man. It was just so crazy to watch.

In the moment they had interest in me i had interested in it For and i think mainly because of the channels because it was something different. Something new Something that not very many college coaches have had success right away anyway so meeting up to the end it was probably five or six days between ill when i talked to them in with the interview was so occupy my mind a lot like i visualize me being in the locker room. They were nba playoff games going on. I will just trying to put myself in those situation. What would you do. How would you react sixers. Fans some looking at the sixers in watching his simmons. You'll just lose confidence. He's one of the boba points of our team. Aegis lost confidence. I'm like what would i say to him.

"So let's just have no expectations of georgia georgia fans. You know what i mean. Let's just do a win. One for the gipper kind of approach to the season. And then maybe they'll surprise all of us and actually seal the deal this side we dunkin in case you were wondering where that optimism is coming from l. I'm curious a couple other things. You were pretty good athlete in your day. When yesterday morning arrived and college players are able to make money legally for the first time your thoughts and how do you think it's going so far. Yeah i mean. I was not surprised at all that there's a bunch of them that have already lined up. Maybe i was a little bit surprised about the kind of endorsements right. I wouldn't think of like a nineteen year old with a lighting company I had lava lamps. When i was eighteen. But that's fine I think it's about time it's interesting because many many many years ago covering sports Talking to these blue chip athletes the by the way played a sport at the biggest school. You can play this sport at right. And he was a blue chip guy and he was getting. You know a fifty dollars stipend a week. These athletes can't work because their job is being an athlete and securing billions of dollars for their school for the nc double a. For the boosters. They don't have the opportunity to work like other college. Kids did and it was eye opening to me. The struggle that he had to struggle of wanting to leave school early to go and help his family and he's sort of ended up doing that instead of saying in school and maybe growing a little bit more in his sport he left And so. I think it's long overdue. I think this idea that like athletes should just be so happy to get a college degree when that is not everyone's goal that's not everyone's not everyone grows up saying all i want in the world is a free education. Some people really need to be able to contribute to their family and their family depends on them. So simply saying we're gonna make all this money. You just need to be lucky to be here. That never was good enough. So i'm glad that these young people and let me caution. Paul your viewers your listeners. All of us old folks from scolding these kids. And i keep seeing like us. Old grandpa's being like google tax attorney like these kids are very well versed on business practices. They are so much more advanced than we were at their age. So give them the grace and understanding that they know what they're doing But i would say that it now becomes a new wrinkle paul when you bring these kids into schools outside of just adjusting to being an athlete and being away from home for the first time. Now you're going to really have to help them learn how to build their business acumen. So i hope that when some of these parents have these coaches sitting in their living rooms recruiting their kids. They're making sure they're leaning on the business aspect as well.
