Ladies and gentlemen, incredible conversation with a smart man calling us now from his house in Morgantown West Virginia. He's an Italian. He used to be a lawyer until he decided to take over the blogging game. He writes about the NFL on a daily basis on the internet Millions. Millions of people read it everybody knows it's the One-Stop shop for any NFL news rumors or mishaps ladies and gentlemen, the founder owner and voice from pro football talk. You see him on NBC Sports both in the morning and on football night in America. Ladies and gentlemen from WVU Mike for Hey, I am ready to ram my face repeatedly in someone's fist right now. You've gotten me. You've got me all all lathered up. That's good. Hey, go late do it. This is a huge week for you Mike Florio. It's draft week. I got a lot of questions for you about smoke screens in a bunch of lies that are being told by teams and who's going to go away. And I think you're the only guy that can tell us those facts. Well, look, I don't know who's going where I know that if this year more than ever it really is quiet from the standpoint of trying to figure out exactly what's going to happen. But had I agree with you. There's a lot of lives are told every year because this is the ultimate game of chess Checkers and chicken where you have teams that have so much strategically riding on the outcome of the draft and if anyone gets an inkling as to what Any team is going to do then you have to worry about you know, LeapFrog and losing the guy that you covet the someone else. So there's a real incentive to lie. There's a real incentive to misdirect and there's no incentive to tell the truth. How do you kind of wave through all that stuff? How do you wait? Sorry. How do you get through all the lies? So you don't miss inform the millions of people that read pro football. Notoriously alyre door. Draft weeks like how do you know I know who to trust after doing this for 18 years, and I know the people who have the best incentive to know how the draft board is going to fall together and also to know that those are people who based upon repeated year after year after year of talking to them working with them. They have proven their worth and let me tell you the best people to talk to if you can develop the relationships and I can't give the names obviously, but there are certain agents. It's who understand the critical importance of being able to say that our clients exactly where they're going to be drafted most importantly where their floor is because you need to gauge your expectations of your clients very well. You're going to get fired. Remember Gino Smith fired his agents not long after he fell out of round one of the drafts that we're years ago, because everybody thought he was going to be a first round pick including his own agents meaning his agents weren't properly dialed into the fact that he was going to plunge. Need to have agents and I try to talk to the ones who I know have a very good understanding based on their own relationships where they're getting to the truth. I just rely on them because it's impossible to have the right relationships across the league to get to that sense of where a guys floor maybe so those are the people I trust the most everybody else. I don't trust I don't trust anyone from any teams because they all have a clear interest in manipulating the board of their advantage you've got there. It to about a player to position that they don't need they would love to see players at positions. They don't need get drafted earlier than they should because then that pushes players down the board that they do need. So you have to be very selective about who you listen to and I've learned over time not to let myself get burned out traffic. In fact, I'll traffic in my opinion, but I'm not going to traffic in Draft rumors about who's rising and falling unless they come from somebody, but I trust great verbage there. I'll try. Again, this all traffic in that the fact that you said you trust agents more than anybody else is allowed statement that I never thought an educated human would say but it makes sense. What going back into your past for covering this game for so long. Is there a moment that you remember just getting completely duped by an NFL team? Yeah, probably but you know, my Approach is just move on. I mean everybody's going to screw up from time to time you're going to make mistakes. You're going to get burned and have to really sit and think about it. I have to think what I can say without burning it. A source even if a source is burn me look at it happens. It happens right people people will spread bullshit and they hope that you fall for it and they justify it by saying. Hey anything necessary to help get the guy that we want available when we pick but I'd like to think it's been so long ago. I can't remember the specifics. I'd like to think at least 10 to 12 years ago. I figured out the game and I knew to not listen to a lot of crap because I realized that there is a very strong incentive, you know the rules. Is this for a team that loves the guy they have a very strong incentive to spread lies about him. So he falls down the board and they can draft and for a team that hates the guy they will say great things about it because they want some other sucker to draft him and push down the board a guy they actually want and once you accept that you get to the point where you don't believe anything except when it comes from the people. Like I said who have the greatest incentive to be right? Because they have to say to that kid. Hey. Going between 5 and 15. Are you going between 10 and 35 and if they're wrong they're going to end up not having that client for very long. Let's hop in a time machine live just about a month ago. Colin Murray was a lock to go number one now everybody saying there's really no shot of it happening and they're going to go another direction. Is that all bullshit? Are you getting feeling it? That's not going to happen. He's going to end up back in baseball. Here's the thing to watch. Here's the thing of watch He's committed to going to the draft and if he cancels his plan to The draft at any point this week. That means he's not going number one overall because there's a generic baroque art represents Kliff Kingsbury the coast of the Arizona Cardinals a little bit Burkhart did to get Kingsbury out of USC. He was locked in as offensive coordinator Burkhart negotiated a hundred and fifty thousand dollar buyout. So Kingsbury could get out of another opportunity emerged. It happened. He got out and Kingsbury's now Arizona, so at a minimum, I'm not saying they're going to draft Marines of favorite Uber car but in a minimum Um Kings burritos at the Burkhardt to tell him what they're going to do and burkhart's going to know assuming Kingsbury knows I'd like to take the head coach has been enough. It seems very nose, which I don't think is a reach then Burkhart nose, then Marino's and if at some point between now and Thursday, we find out that Marie's not going to the drafts. That is the sign that he's not going to be the first overall pick, but if he goes to the draft, I think he's the first overall pick and if he's not then there's going to be one hell of a mess, and it could be new age. For Cara Marie by next week. I respect that. You just said you would hope that Kliff Kingsbury would know what they're going to do. It is on record that the Browns are fused to tell Hugh Jackson who they're going to pick because you Jackson would leak it now and Oakland their stories coming out that they're sending everybody home don't want to hear from anybody until all the scouts are sent home. Everybody's out of the room. Jon Gruden said that mcshea. No Mayock better not fuck it up. I mean, is there a little bit of tension already and Oakland? They got three first-round picks. There's no way they can mess this up and sending the scouts home and getting Everybody out of the building. Is that more normal than social media was leading us on I think it's very out and well, I think it's normal to have concerns about your Scouts and about whether or not you can trust them. But I think there's a way to manage your Scouts. So they don't know anything that they can use to compromise. You. Look at New England, you think any of the area Scouts know what Bill Belichick's ever going to do know he has no reason to tell them why because it's not their job their job is to gather information their job isn't to make the draft board and that's where that value of that. Do your job top-down design? The New England uses is so great. There's no reason to tell the guys. So there's no reason not to trust them. They can be trusted with things that fall within the boundaries their work responsibilities. And if you do that, you never yourself into a mess like this. So what are the Rangers doing that their area Scouts can't be trusted what I be entrusted with that. They would be in a position to blab to anyone and if you don't trust these guys just to operate within the confines of your office. Why the hell were they working for you in the first place? I mean, it's astounding to me now my theory He is this the Jon Gruden in hindsight should have fired Reggie Mackenzie the moment he took over last year, but I think we're gonna want to keep Mackenzie around so he could blame somebody if it all went to shit last year as it. Did he could blame MacKenzie for Cleo Mac. He could blame MacKenzie for this Mackenzie for that. And now he's it's kind of lame Mike Mayock for anything that goes wrong. The bottom line though is group is running the show and there should be a way to keep those folks around me. Just think about if you're sitting in the draft room on the first night of the draft and And they got a question if I may ask a question about some obscure fact that an area Scout who did the workup on the guy with no he's not going to be there to give the answer. I mean that that's how your you are hamstringing yourself all because of this this paranoia that is being fueled by the desire to take those three first-round picks and get the most out of them because they need to make people forget about polio Mac. They need to convince people. They did the right thing by trading that I can by taking the first-round picks and and that's where I think that it's all that. Assuring that urgency. This is fueled this extreme reaction that has Gruden freaking out and Mayock just going along with it because I guarantee you this was burdened decision. Not bad. If you're a Raiders fan you watch your two best players get traded out of town. You watched your team not have a home for a while. They're going to Vegas will give a head coach a hundred million. Then they can't win a goddamn game. I mean if your writers when he got to be about Fed Up excited to see what happens on Thursday night though for the Raiders and Friday night speaking of Friday night. I will be announcing the Third round draft pick what would you recommend to me to make sure it is a Flawless beautiful execution while them up there on the microphone announcing the pic. I want you to do what you just did when I started I want you to do that exact same thing with me. I'm very excited about it, man. I think the dress Raft is a it's a time where dreams come true where memories can either be great or terrible? Who's somebody you think that is going to have a better draft than what people were expecting and somebody is going to have a worse they can be a team or a player in themselves. Hang on. Hang on. I want to go back to what you're doing Friday night, cuz I'm just putting that the connections together. You're going to Nashville where the Titans play You're identified with the Colts. Remember what Drew Pearson did two years ago when he told the Eagles fans. Yeah. This is this is your chance. Here's your chance to convince Vince McMahon that you're ready to make dinner for heal. And you go down there and you start talking shit on all this type of come up with just take all the West Virginia jokes you've ever heard and just twisting the turnips in Nashville or something, you know about bare feet and lack of peace and all that stuff. You know, I'm just kidding people in Nashville. We love you, but this is a great opportunity. If you do go down there and get those people all riled up and it'll be the event of the weekend and I guarantee you won't play it on Monday on PFT live if you do it Gloria when I say this, I'm Mean it we have a very large demo in Nashville. I was just there this past weekend A lot of people said hello. There are very nice. But know that I'm going to own that moment and it's going to be a beautiful and I'm already prepared for it speaking of owning a moment. What are you hearing on Monday night football and he Seal Team Boomstick talk going on doesn't want to do it. As long as he lies still playing in the giant somehow got to Monday Night Football games this year, even though the prospects of that team aren't very good. So I think Peyton's eventually going to do it. See, here's the thing Pat. Would you want to do it for like a year and then get bumped by Peyton Manning's that worth it Gloria. They want bumpy. As soon as I get in there one time. They're going to sign me to a 10-year deal you and I both know soon as I get on their deal coming immediately there. They wouldn't be able to bump me Mike. They wouldn't be able to do it. Would you do it for free now if I can own my own podcast and on my own company, I would utilize it as a commercial every Monday night and make money and I football a must-see. CTV operation again for sure now think about that. They're paying Bob Iger 65 million a year now so they could probably use the save a little cash and some say that's it is that I don't know if they said that they were just going to go with the Brinks truck and asked Peyton, whatever he wanted to get that gig. He turned that down. I wonder how that whole thing is going. But yeah, man. As long as I can on my own stuff you get me on a microphone on every single Monday night Monday nigh McAfee. I mean I'll be able to do whatever you need to do. My brother the monomer Tweed so would be absurd be absurd. Mr. Florea. Oh, how are you doing? I promise getting 10 million a year and it's next deal. Assuming is the CBS. I can't imagine becoming a free agent going elsewhere. But yeah, I think 10 million is going to become the number and whatever he eventually gets when Peyton Manning gets in at some point. I think you will he's gonna make more than that. I can't believe I'm gonna make 10 million dollars a day. Florio do you watch those videos that Chris Simms puts on the Internet or you just repost them because you kind of feel bad you have to a middle ground. I don't want Outpost below and if people watch it, that's fine with me. I respect. Why is there a reason I shouldn't be? Do you know something? I don't I don't know that last one about where you hold the ball at was kind of tough to watch but you posted and I watched it. I mean it was just I mean it was what we got to do. The internet's a funny place. Are you going to be live in Nashville, or you going from home? I am going to stay home. I had been to the draft and I've worked at from home and I I'm so much more efficient from home. I can you know, keep track on everything that's happening to still the formation make any calls that need to be made. It's just so much better and so much easier to do it from home. I go down to the bar and I'll put on the TV screens, you know, open up the laptop and and just start cranking away and we'll just crank all night long keeping up with everything that's happening because people are interested know what's going on. If you are a prospect why in a million years would you go to the draft? I've wondered this every single year. There's always a situation that has drama in in the back. I have no idea why anybody would choose to go I Lastly don't fully understand. Maybe you can help me understand it a little bit more. I wasn't a potential first-round draft pick so I never had to be in that situation, but I don't know why anybody would ever go to the draft unless it was a lock you're going to be picked where you're supposed to be. Well, yeah, it's right unless I know for damn certain I'm going in the spot and I'm going to be happy with I'm getting proud of them not going to get embarrassed and I'm not gonna get Hoodwinked and I'm going to stop I'm not going to sit there, you know with my tie cock out of my hair all messed up like Brady Quinn 10 years ago, then I'm not going anywhere. We're near there. And here's the other thing too. And and and this gets back to a whole concept of being fully in favor of capitalism people get paid for their time their services and value. I don't like the idea that these kids don't get a parent seeing the stars of this Ultimate Reality Show that the NFL puts on and they can visit these guys. It's a fair deal to get your plane ticket to get your lodging to bring a few family members. I want money. I want 50 Grand. I want a hundred grand. I'm done working for freaks. I say that about the scouting combine. You want me to show up and work out right around in spandex pain? You want you want to show up for a pro day workout that you're going to put our hands on networks. Like hey, maybe you want me to show exactly Goodfellas. You want me to show up for the draft pay me. I'm done doing shit for free. I think that's the attitude these kids should have and I can't wait until there's a prospect it has the balls to do it because the thing is and I'm not saying that you don't have balls. If you don't you just have you have to have like the biggest set imaginable. So put your middle finger in the face of the NFL machine, but I think somebody should because they they he kids get exploited in college and then they get exploded to that pool for months before the draft because everyone says, oh it's a job interview bullshit. It's a job interview to make a ton of money off of this job interview and the kids should get some of it too. That is as a commercial like for instance the video the announcement of that Friday. I'm going to put an over-under at 500,000 views over the weekend on my hammer the over because I know what I'm going to say. I think it's going to be flipped beautifully into some merch for us to sell. It's going to be an incredible thing. And by the way, it's an honor to be a part of the NFL draft. I think it's going to be really cool to be a part of that whole thing, but it's going to do well you just got to use it as a commercial flip your own business and these young kids are scared to do that because you got a lot of people saying well don't do business. Because then it looks like you're not focusing fully on football which can be this this and this if anybody's going to put their finger up to the full to the NFL to do their own thing Joe Thomas did it back in the day? He was one of the only guys that went on a boat one fishing. You have to be very very very good to do that. I'll be excited to see if anybody can do it because just a little bit of time on TV is good Shine for the Instagram Flex Mike. You got to remember that. Hey and take it next level then show up on that red carpet with the logo of your top sponsor all over I went. Will it be NASCAR jumpsuit man right with every one of your sponsors plastered on there including offshore gambling and anything that's going to give the NFL, you know chest pains every every company that doesn't do business with the NFL though Gatorade only Vitamin Water. No, perhaps you only Coke and say hey man, you want me on here? You got to let me wear what I want to wear. I'm not subject to your rules yet. You can't find me for this. But again, nobody wants to do it and I understand because if you poke the bear too hard, the bear pokes your back, but there's got to be a kid out there. There who sufficiently confident in his talent, but he says fine if you don't like the fact that I showed up in a NASCAR jumpsuit with all these sponsorship decals on it some traffic to somebody else in your division will think about Goodell refusing to DAP up a guy that comes walking out there ladies and gentlemen, he's on top of everything good friend of mine good friend of the world ladies and gentlemen, pro football talk read it. If you haven't if you don't read just know that they're dropping all the good news, ladies and gentlemen, Mike Florio. Thank you, buddy. Was it Nashville this weekend? Yeah, absolutely love that place. And I mean that at places I don't understand the people that go out there and don't dress like a complete Cowboy shit. Yeah, I don't I mean I was looking around and I feel like I might have been me and Sam might have been the only one but I want right into one of them Boot Scootin Boogie stores. I said, excuse me Bradley Cooper Jackson main need the Hat it took me up to the fucking third floor walk. No way up to the top. They said here you go, sir. They didn't have the right size had to go to the back they have Boxes stacked like i7 + 5 8 and I got a big head.

It's like actual buttons like a bow tie knot bolo tie Bow Low inaudible no would be across the thing. I dislike actual studs. Yep, but there's like an actual name for those things there. It's about the ones upper part snap Pearl Pearl. Snapshot going to Purl snapshots from there we go had an American flag belt buckle. That's a big bubble. That's a dinner plate buckle you under say you play 304 that Buckle not certain but that thing about six years ago, whenever we put against the Dallas Cowboys down there in Dallas. A lot of people asked me if I heard that Bell Buckle by Ryan Boyd seconds. I told them no, but goddamn it. I think I would try I had a good time Sam had a hat on she bought a hat down there bought one of the another Pearl snap thingy. She had a belt buckle as well down there. We're down there for one of her friends birthdays and I'll Of I love Nashville the by the vibe down. There is awesome to possible to go there and not buy a hat trust me. And there's the same thing same thing. You got Taylor the one who act I got the Jackson made at basically the same thing. Yes. It was beautiful though. We want this place called cane Prime. That is the reaction. You should have. Yes, this was one of the most Yuppie places I've ever walked through in my entire life soon as I walked in after buying the Jackson main hat. They said gentlemen have to remove their hats. I almost said I identify as a lady almost almost but I didn't because we're in the South my lady kept her hat on obviously little bit of a sexist operation. It's either here or there walk through the lounge in the back. There's a guy wearing a beat-up baseball hat. Okay. I'm holding. My Jackson main hat. I ain't no snitch. I ain't no snitch hanging be like well, why can I not gone yet? And I can't but I asked every person in there that worked. I was like in My Little put my head on they said absolutely not I said what if I had like a baseball hat and they're like absolutely Not gentleman are not aware of that and I wasn't going to say well, what the fuck? Is that? What I did I didn't do that. I just kept my hat off and I ordered a wagyu. Yeah a wagyu fillet. Yep. I don't know what that is. No, he hates Japanese beef. Oh, yeah. It's a real expensive cut. So I DM Kirk Herbstreit lives in Nashville. Yeah. I said hey Kirk, I'm going to Kane in Nashville. What should I order? He said you get to wagyu fillet and then you get every side of imaginable. All right, and then he said good luck or something. Like I said, you're going to love it that wagyu fillet, which I'm not sure what it means. There's a y in there too silent. Why into it swag you almost believed you could cut this fillet with your fork. Wow. It was the best-tasting steak I've ever had in my entire life. They had this cotton candy bacon. It was the greatest bacon in the South tastes like big booty hold me. I didn't love that but you're hot seller though Pat. Oh, yeah, they all believe me. They put it on us. I mean, it was like You Gotta Buy this cotton candy. Bacon is the greatest bacon in town Baba. We want the best bacon in the South years and years for me the bacons got to be crispy and it's got to be salty. It's kind of a sweet bacon they have so I didn't love it. But that steak was the greatest thing I've ever had in my entire life. It was unbelievable way out put the fucking hat on walk down by the way. What do you do? Kick me out? I don't think so. Hey by the way, I'm leaving you fire me. I quit. So I put the Hat on walk out. Then we go straight down there to Broadway. Yep, okay. Stop by a little place called Tutsis don't know if you ever heard of it, you know the hospitality from the Tutsis people were Next Level that is three levels of a bar that is packed to the gills. I'm talking people on top of people. There's four different bands playing live music playing all the heaters. By the way, the one band that we were watching even played. Mmm.

He was he was short little fella. I mean it was a small little guy but he had a beard. He's the one who did the Eminem song and I couldn't be more thankful for the people at Tootsie's taken care of us. I mean, I had water's coming to me at a different level Sam.

Now one was with the Kings of Leon who Clara's we have a good time. We shut her down but Nashville is a cool place. I absolutely love that all that Alleyway behind Tootsie's fun fact about that back in the day. I'm talking 50s 60s even 40s the Ryman theater right next to it. They would come off stage while Back into the alley and walk into the private door and Tutsis and back right off stage to their drinks. So that's why I want to ask for the bathroom. Was that backs door right there? And that was where the guy goes. Who are you Jackson main whole thing. He walks me all the other side and all the way to the top. I love Nashville man. I had an absolute blast got home for Easter Sam woke me up little cockadoodle do it about 8 a.m. Because she missed the Valerie or dog that was at the house.

She's gonna be pissed off. There was some second thoughts this weekend. No, well, whatever you said contemporary on the last ad read. I was in the car with her while she was hearing it for the first time. It was a little bit of a reaction, but we got nothing but time I have problems with long Seward's go on. Mmm. That's literally my problem kind of language any other ones conscience and say that can't say that. Henshin contentious can touch confusing tanker a caterpillar I can do that one contemporaneous. What was that one contemporaneous catastrophe this conjunction cantankerous. That was the word. I was told specifically they will feel uncomfortable when Zito reads. Yes, like inside. I've just I cringe well, it's just like everybody loves that scene from Billy Madison where goes to attend today. Yes, I get Tak which means like I feel uncomfortable for other people in their bad situations, like I really do. Like watching people bust their faces on the internet because I feel bad for them. I don't like people don't Nick lives for that stuff. So I kind of freaks me out that he feels bad for you must be a whole nother level, but for me Zito, I thought you did great. Thank you everyone not as great as the Action Network app, but you did great. That means a lot nosy. We got nothing. But time by the way, you're at the top of Mount right now that Photon can be very quick when she starts us some blood on some work. Let's get back to the conversation. It was great to get back home. I hope everybody else had an incredible weekend. What'd you guys get? Into anything Fox and so you went back to Michigan. Yes, sir. Got to see the family friends play a little golf typical stuff. How was your golf game? You know what? I ripped an 8640 on the front 46 on the back. I kind of fell apart. Well, well, you know, what happened was like, you know, when you start this my first round of the year because the other course that doesn't count that was a putt-putt course for adults and so I'm just being an athlete and just swinging away and I'm doing well and then you start thinking about stuff you got a little tuckered out because I didn't eat any food and then I shot the 46 so Half got you the power of the doll of the pub go home for Easter to celebrate. Jesus coming out of the cave. I'm back bitches. No, not me. I stayed back at the pub so long, you know was that because you wanted to or because your family forced. You're not good. I actually know what I did not get invited home this year surprising, but I know me and I had a nice Smokey Saturday. I mean little Cloud will find out how you guys do a family party. Everyone had allegedly shirts. Jean claude's pretty interesting with with the RV or that was the first time that was the most shocking others. They they watch this video like maybe a hundred times Well, by the way, I don't think they're the only ones numerous people in Nashville stopped me to say hello very thankful for all them. There was a guy named Stephen. I was working at one particular bar. He loved the video told Zito. He's on your he's you know side a lot of people have said that which makes me think there's a lot of people listen to show her fucking idiot you hit I watch that video. Once again this weekend - oh one Sam's friends how it all went down how fast that tree goes by in the background is that is the issue that was not added that was see don't magic film magic procedural. You think we got enough money to put A/C on this project and I think that CGI a lot of people talk foxy that they thought we rig that whole all my friends that thought. We rig down like you guys don't understand we are at WrestleMania. We are not going to set this up at Wrestle Mania. It's classic. Ty you hung out with Conor weekend Jesus didn't die for that pretty pretty laid-back weekend. Honestly at this point. I just I just wait for Sunday nights at 9:00. I'm just biding my time to get through the week Millions. Okay. Let's get to it not bill. You not know. I'm Victor owner now. Yeah, 300 retweets no big deal saying I was excited for the Thrones just a little inside scoop inside information for those listeners. Not everybody needs to know this I have watched zero. It's a game. But boy, what a beautiful Pander to the other Santa happy I was for it. I got a lot of people come after me then Nick obviously was one of them like what you say Nick your exact words was please don't ruin this like you did the Pittsburgh Penguins playoff run. I'm thinking so I doubled on to next week knowing that I'm not going to watch it. I watch a couple other things by the way black. Klansman. I watched a movie good movie. I think the the Jewish fellow should get a little bit more credit in the title. I think it should have been Jewish and black classic. And yeah, I think you're right. I think that is something it also had the same exact soundtrack as inside man. That's all I could really think of but incredible story. I very much enjoyed that story. I love whenever dumb people get painted out to be dumb people. That's exactly what the plan is. So I was a big fan also watch Passion of the Christ really was on I thought of that I sought it out just strictly it was the I was feeling it a little bit. You know, I want to know the deal first time first time ever watching it and they'll give us and they caption of the caption English language, but it's not the exact caption. So it would be like like they would say something and then the caption would be different but you get it up thing. That was kind of a little bit interesting to me early also old Kazi Judas drop in the bag of 30, whatever coins. It was the sellout Jesus bat, I think. That he should get made fun of more for that for just dropping the fucking bag of cash immediately. And also Jesus didn't look that good. Like I Think Jesus should have looked a little better. Maybe maybe make them look a little better. I fell asleep 10 minutes and I think I know what happened. All right. It happened. He comes back. We did it Easter Bunny comes boom baboom. That's a tough movie though. Every church is showing that movie. I remember when I was in eighth grade. They rented out the movie theater for us to go see it and oh my God, the backlash from parents were just horrified. Afterwards I get everyone was fucking going and seeing that when it first came out like if you went to Catholic school or anything like that. I don't think it really told the story that well well and then there is also all the stuff with like Mel Gibson, you know taking a lot of Liberties when he was making a tea obviously at all the comments about, you know, Jewish people and stuff like that. The the Jewish folks is not love that now that huge fan, but he made a movie about the most famous guy, which is very interesting did the Italians get a bad rap and iMovie or no. I don't think so. Not not that much can't be that At Accurate, I guess your differentiate you need to differentiate Italians in Romans. Romans were made up of many people a lot of goals to the Germans are in there. Whoo, the Gauls Steven Germany's responsible for everything terrible. He's seagull hilarious, which is Steven call. So I'll just pile it wasn't a great guy Poncho's which guy was he conscious biology. I could use all the orders with a big sword. Here's the general of the army. He was I sense them. Yes. Got it. Anyways, I woke up. There was a lot of yelling. I fell asleep. I woke up. There's a lot of yelling turn the TV off. I was like, you know what Jesus died enough, you know, I don't need to see it again. But I missed the Game of Thrones episode that I that I projected to be the best Game of Thrones one yet and I put that lock out there on the internet a lot of mixed reactions. So I'll let you nerds go ahead and describe the scene. I guess Aria got pounded. Yeah, John. But the internet it seems as if that's the only thing that happened in the entire episode are correct are correct. That's why I was so upset. So very slow episode more dialogue. So is a Bad episode you're saying just want on I was told that the curse continues a lot of people tweeted me tell me I'm like the Drake Jersey because that Game of Thrones episode was the worst of all time simpletons. Yes. I'm going to say it from somebody who's not like a fanatic about it. I have seen every season it was slow. I mean with tiling it was back-to-back slow episodes, which I give you one. Are you going to back to back me on it? Like you did just sitting around pray another full fucking day sipping wine waiting for the battle to happen. I we took two years to film this you're going back to bed. I mean everybody knows I've seen every single episode every single had it from Ed Sheeran all the way to that first dragon that popped up and I just can't believe they did what they did. They're not want to take that tie you want to take well Oh, no, I just just it's what I said earlier, you know, I mean, it's a fucking TV show. It's not a movie. All right, there are 60 some + episode 69 69 was was yeah, the one on Sunday, you're gonna have set up episodes like that. And if you can't deal with that go fucking fast forward to the brave heart paddles and just watch that on a loop for the rest Sunday night when idea so good because they give you time with every single major character. That's that is still alive that's been in the show pretty much right? Children. No, he's not there. He's a piece of shit. That's right before next episode is just going to be a fucking bloodbath. So they gave you they give you everything you wanted to see before every all hell breaks loose. What's up, man? Let's go back back it up be the Ed Sheeran slander will not live on this on this show. He's alive. Listen Club isn't the best place to find a love that's on the bar is where I go. The only thing shots are ready anytime red Sheeran at one point whenever that song was out if you threw it on the jukebox the The women in the bar were very happy. So I'm sorry John. I mean I Love Ed Sheeran as a singer just not in Game of Thrones. Oh, so he's badly. Everything is has he done anything other than sit around that fire that one time with the thing comes in Lord of the Rings not Game of Thrones through. Wow. Okay, I like it. I'm sorry, Nick. You're super nerd. How do you how do you feel about the game that I thought? It was again? I thought it was all right A lot of people loved it because they like the characters of our works and it was a locker see fit. So it definitely wasn't bad the hardcore people liked it and I don't know it's like everybody else. 50 last week. And the reason I thought this was a good episode was strictly because I went into this episode knowing hey, there's going to be no violence. You're not going to get any killing. I'm gonna get his moreover Union. Yeah, because that's why I was so upset with last. How would I know that well before seeing this is this is just a veteran move. But before the show started, you know, it always tells you what's that and violence wasn't included in this one on this show from the beginning has always saved the big stuff towards the end of the season also know that go and pick him up. Okay. Give me one little scene. Well, oh, well Jeremy between friends or something John told Daenerys the one with the dragons who he really is. So they've been boning and now she's just finding out that he's her nephew. She reacted like a normal woman in the He got very upset that he was challenging her in any way. No, seriously. That's Stephen worry about boning your own. He didn't care about the boning. He was her nephew all she cared about draw. I will just be trying to take our power blanket statements, but that's accurate. Yeah the situation there that happened not gonna blanket an entire gender. Yeah. It's not be paying with a wide brush like that your destiny to kind of slip up on it thing women that control dragons, correct. Runners me included. We're very excited for the V to pop up on a thing that will vary so next week. This has been going around the internet says episode 3 of Game of Thrones The Battle of Winterfell will feature the longest battle sequence in film or TV hits. That's what I've been saying this whole time that I always said episode 70 is going to be the one who were all going to remember and that's why me and the throne is just have to be a little patient symptoms. Yeah, I mean Totten yeah, not everyone has what I did. I fell asleep the first time. I'm saying did you watch you've watched all the way? I didn't know you were yeah, but I like I don't know. I still don't know all the characters names. You know what I mean? I just watch it and I'm like I said earlier I suppose I'll kill somebody it's gonna be awesome. That's what I'm talking. Yeah. Where does the explosion we're Stallone? Okay. So there's a big war coming next week excited for that. You throw owners us their owners cant wait for episode 7, right? We're breaking records. That's going to be awesome. The NFL draft is coming up. We alluded to that earlier. With Mike Florio, I will be doing announcing the third round draft pick for your Indianapolis Colts the Indianapolis Colts and I'm a little bit worried. Was that Chris Powell's can trade to pick I'm a little bit worried. I mean around something. He's been watching like 11,000 hours of tape. Yeah. That's what Chris Ballard does. That's why Chris Ballard dominates the draft and I am gonna make sure that that is known while announcing the pick two that the handsome guy that decided this by the way, big old brain on him. So For this is probably going to football I am gonna have no idea who it is. There is zero chance might you might get lucky. The only thing I need to not do is pronounce kid's name wrong because that's a moment for him for the rest of his life. So I got to make sure I get the name right and everything like that everything leading up to that though. Just get on the edge of your seats. It's going to be magic. I'm gonna take some folks on rod and it's gonna be a fun one. I like Chris powered. He'll be joining the show on Thursday. I think I'm going to get out of them who he's picking with that third-round draft because he does mock drafts. Probably just like Mel Kiper all it will third round you've Five minutes on the clock you got he could do a five-minute set on it. Yeah, I got nothing on the test. I got nothing but time up there. I'm very excited. The draft is an electric time of the year though, honestly because you find out who's got good brains, who's got Dom brains. I'm not talking about GM's I'm talking about the pundits that yes automatically over react Darius Leonard who would fucking take that guy Defensive Rookie of the Year Quinn Olson top ten pick with a guard All Pro as a rookie, you know what I mean? It's just the over-reaction season is right around the corner and I Wait for it. Honestly, I can't wait for us. It gives every single team in the NFL.

Yeah find out I'll know a break, you know, I just hope we come out on top of this one. That's all I'm honestly cuz If not, we're fucked legit. Yeah, it's gonna be a long life. Probably the most fucked you could possibly beat ya. I mean Nick's got us into a mess. It's the worst. It's the worst case scenario. Yeah, it is. Yeah, worst case scenario. I mean whenever you say that like that when you put it that way, yeah, Nick should be feeling some guiltier think you're being a little dramatic. If it is you getting yourself into this mess and one thing right? That's not what I do my team guy. Yeah. Today bury us all that's good Nick on us into a terrible situation and office championship wrestling is going to be our opportunity to get out of it and we'll see what happens electric our guys got to be on his game hockey still happening.

They're making a run here. I think is I saw you YP with his Guinea a chinchilla. Yeah jumbo trunk the for him. So I'm very excited YP in a swimsuit and Her jacket, we're in Vegas is about to go into a game seven first in the team's long and storied history. So we're looking forward to that. They're taking on San Jose in the Shark Tank High. How do you feel about in Shark Tank? Not great because we drop one in double OT, you know last night should have sealed it on the on home ICE. Oh my God some stones in the skates early. It was tough 58 saves though flower shorts. Goalie Martin Jones, 58 saves our gave up a week one is soft material and we don't like that word handed. I off OT winner in multiple OTS double OT. Yeah, they have a staff for everything. That's like a crazy. I don't like that my lock the biggest golden knights are about to be. All right, we gotta Wonder did it on lock it in there gonna get the Dobbin. I'll share it down lock it in lock it up. Go ahead Ty go ahead and get ready for round two over there in Vegas throwing Boston bout to go for game 7 to Drake showed up wearing the Toronto Jersey and they were up and then now here we go past the ones to ignore. Oh That's right. I didn't deserve that know the great curse views from the 6 not great. Very great saw floor. So Vegas cold nights. Probably going to win it. All is that we're saying if they beat San Jose. Yeah, that's a good look but capitals are in a great spot the repeat to I like Ovechkin after just drop that fucking kid. I am supposed to hate the capitals obviously because Pittsburgh Penguins capitals had a very long rivalry there for a while the pain just wanted all the time win win win win win win win win win win win win win win win? And then Ovechkin go ahead and decide just take things over last year and it seems like they're going to be unstoppable and now he's beating the fuck out of kids. I am a big-time Ovechkin fan all of a sudden him swimming in his Pawn with the Lord Stanley chugging brujas for a week straight took that thing from here to there all the way over to Putin's place. I mean, I am a fan maybe the capitals are locked as well. So let's go ahead and walk them to the Washington Capitals in the Vegas golden knights in Columbus the Boulevard Columbia, they're playing great. So lock them in there. Just swept the best team in hockey. Shots of Columbus come see us when we come to your town will be in Columbus. It's our second stop on our Batman show. Does America Tour is by the way people are coming after us a little bit about the does America thing. Yeah. We're going from Pittsburgh to Minnesota. I mean, it's America. Yeah. I was in America. You can do it now weekends. That's what I'm saying. How much I mean what the two weekends? Yeah. We just it's not possible. I'm excited for that Minnesota thing. What city is that in Zito? Burnsville? Wow is right, I think so. All right on the graph. Affic that all you would happen autocorrect. Oh and I'm pregnant Burnsville to Minneapolis weird people's that happens to reflect. So what happened with the tour announcement. We alluded to this earlier six cities were also adding an Indianapolis show in July to kind of wrap it all together word home. That's what we do. A lot of people they are not doing Indie. Obviously. We're doing Indie in July. It's just not a part of them America Tour. Well it actually it'll be the end of the does America. F coming home. Tell the world. I'm coming home let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday and never in July. Let's go. It'll be awesome. Somehow someway we did not set up this tour. This is the first time that I've been involved in the show that we have let the hands off the reins a little birdie told me that it may have been based on the six most are five most biggest demographics of listenership for the podcast. So if you would like it on the next run to come to your city now friends, what was the word tough friends listen? So we we took the rent. I let the reins off right normally we're a very independent operation here rent the theater sell the tickets do the show leave this time. We let somebody else rent the theater. Set up the ticket sales everything like that. Did they do a perfect job? No, no. No, they didn't know about an hour and a half before we're supposed to announce the city's I start getting tweets from the venue's telling me that the tickets are going on sale in an hour and a half. We haven't even announced the city's week early, which is a week early. We haven't even got a chance to tell people that the show is coming. We haven't even identified the cities had we hadn't even to the public to the public now wind on anything. We hadn't even told anybody I started getting tweets. So they Now instead early they had a week early for ticket sales. So this what we've learned, right if you don't do it yourself. Well what's going to happen? This will never happen again. I would like that to be now. So the people that aren't happy that we're not coming to your city. I apologized the next time we set it up. I will set it up myself. I would take this I would take the reins put the horses in the back horses in the back and then we will go that Old Town Road right to your Town Road. And we'll do that but it was almost a giant cluster fuck in the office this morning. Yeah Pat actually sent an email that I was cc'ed on and it just said what the fuck is going on Good Start. That was the day after Easter at fucking 9:30 a.m. I started seeing tweets from people that I'm coming to their venom like, yeah, I am but these tickets are not going on sale today and why are you announcing this? You should not be the ones that had so I had, you know sometimes bosses. Have to do things sometimes Kings have to do Royal things and I sent a Royal Fuck you to some people this morning, but we learned for the future. What is that? We do it ourselves. Yeah. That's what we've been doing this whole time still be fucked up, but sorry fuck up. Yeah, it's our fourth. Then you own it. Then at least we are to blame not people that don't answer the phone for fucking five hours. It's yeah still if you have to get a phone call, by the way. What real Soviets get a phone call. Have you have to get an apology have yet to get anything about the complete missing by the way massive fuckup releasing the dates early releasing the ticket sales or that is a massive fuckup. It's a big deal because it's disrespecting the listeners it is it's disrespecting the And it's doing a lot of those things, you know, and that's literally the backbone of this. I think yeah, and it's I didn't like it. So just know that that won't happen again on the good side though. Peyton Manning said no to money and I talked about it with Florio. I have not heard a single thing about it since we trended for 10 hours, but you know what we did we went and brought it back to their attention and we didn't wait. I sent a text to everybody. I know and he has been with that Judge Judy gift sir. Hey listen painting on it. Jason Witten don't On it all these people don't want it. I'll take that something. You don't know how we'll take that Gig if you want. Listen, I understand. I'm not the perfect broadcaster at this moment. I got rejected from the goddamn broadcast. Boot camp three times now didn't even get invited this year after talking with people about going didn't even get invited this year. So 3 times I've been rejected from broadcast boot camp. I don't go to Syracuse. I don't know what I didn't go to Northwestern. Correct. I don't go this broadcast. I didn't go to class even if I wasn't I am willing to learn and ready to learn in my brain I think is ready to go. Monday nights, I think we can really make Monday Night Football and Electric Factory if they want it, but what if we learn from people that make decisions that will make their make the best decision normally don't make great ones, especially if they're older white people who don't happen to love people that wear sleeveless Saudis Jorts things of that nature. They don't fully understand it. Let the game be the game. Let's do this. Let's do this. We'll watch ratings go straight through the fucking shitter and then we won't do anything about it until it's too late. We are here to say. Hey, we'll see Pyar that sumbitch Monday night will Hopper right over Sunday Night Football in America. We don't give a damn Let Jesus have Sunday back Monday nights for the NFL. We're gonna have a good time. That's what I'm here for if they want it if they're if they want me to go to war for them. I'll go to war for them. If they don't want me. Guess what I'll go to war with them. Oh, yeah poison or foreign war with two different and Levi or I'm joking. I'll just watch Monday Night Football sound off. I mean, they're probably gonna pick somebody who's supposed to have that job. You know some boring ass person who's really good at talking about football when this guy gets off the ball. He gets a good three to five yards of Separation before making his first cut and that's what makes you an All-Pro wide receiver. Let's hunt first down. By the way. I thought about doing that like the next time I go on ESPN just packing it in just being like the they want just oh, yeah, just playing the entire gimmick. Yeah. Fuck it. We're one of them lame-ass suits glasses. I think why white people shut up doing the entire just doing the entire thing like that. The next time I do a WWE thing. I'm thinking about acting like one of those wrestling bloggers. I think it's gonna be a spectacle of a Mac the entire time just like playing an entire gimmick. I'm thinking about it. Probably not though because I like to sleep at night and I like looking in the mirror and seeing a bad model who don't take no crap. From nobody. Yeah, the NBA is around James Harden was one of the most egregious flops I've ever seen in my entire life. That was insane. But hey, if you get on the foul line for it, I mean if it helps your team, you can't respect that. But I mean you got to appreciate it. I'm not going to get into this with you guys because I can already tell which way the room is going. He got struck in his fucking throat in his throat with an errand elbow at the naked eye can't see that the that the The electronic I almost missed but it didn't he was struck with an elbow in the throat. I'll you know what now that you mentioned it. I think I think I saw it too. I think I'm buried for this how you take them off the court in a wheelchair. They shut up elbow to the throat. But he made the to buy that dude said he was better than 20 minutes right? Paul Pierce. I got taken off on me. Is that still going? No, but it shouldn't be very ill say something next week about he's been worse who's gonna win the thing Golden State. I watch them the other day Klay Thompson go like Walk it a lot real have Milwaukee's not going to be the Celtics and I'm not saying that as a prick from bottle John. I'm sorry. I was like for you I want Boston when they're nowhere near as good as the walkie. Well, I mean, let's just talk about the Pacers the Pacers fuck we're not after last month. I mean they made it to the playoffs. Uh, congratulations to the Pacers go don't quit worst team in the playoffs by far. Yeah, but they lost literally they're super steel. Right?

Another door another Keisha nice to meet you get the math bottom drawer. What am I posed to doing a club lights? Come on, it's easy to be pumped with his harder to be shown. What is my twins? Ask me where I'm at. Nothing like that. I carry on I need to get back to the place now. Check this out A House Is Not a Home I hate this song the house really a home when your loved ones is gone and niggas got the nerve to blame you for him. And you know, you would have took the bullet. If you saw the to Falcon it still feels and money can't make up for it baby. We've been living in sync because we've been really in love, but we've been living in A spring so you've been a guest in your own home town to make your house your own pick up the phone. Stopping Us Now I like that song whenever it comes on and makes me feel strong. I thought I told you that we won't sound so that cruising through Harlem. These are blocks which made me save me drove me crazy. Throw me away didn't race me forgave my shortcomings a lot of fights a lot of stars lot of bottles out of cars lot of UPS. A lot of downs made it back or smart, don't you here I stand Thank you, Lord, and thank you. We have the incredible luxury of being able to talk to a man who has decades and decades worth of experience in detective work about some very very very serious manners in matters that affect Indiana in particular. We got a new conversation with old Todd McComas. Yep old uncle Todd. Yep old party boy. Yep. Oh becomes oh pastor. Todd father Paul's he's always speaking with balls Gator came from them, but have an in-house got a chance to chat about something very serious happening in Delphi earlier. And I think the inside Intel will be something that you'll find interesting ladies and gentlemen a conversation with top Economist about his previous expertise that Delphi press conference was an interesting one. I think I still have $50,000 up for it and 49,000. I believe Jim irsay has another 50 we have about $100,000. Is up for grabs here for tips to solve the Delphi murders thing the State Police Superintendent Carter. Yes, Doug Carter came out yesterday and had a full press conference and he was talking it seemed as if it was a strategic press conference. He was saying numerous things that he thinks that they have interviewed the person who did it or somebody close to the person. They think the person is from Delphi, they believe the person is hiding in plain sight. They believe that this is the power or Power for them and he also mentioned that that he would have never guessed it we would shift our strategy two years into this but we have they released a new video is these are all things it sounds like that are planned and strategic-wise by the state police. Am I correct? Yeah. I'm guessing but what what you've said that he covered they probably have a pretty good idea who they're looking at here you think so. Yeah, you think that they are probably pretty diode in to a couple people and they're like, this is probably it. Let's see if We can get them to do something. I'm guessing so because this looks sounds like something that you would do to Spur an action to happen. And there's no reason to do that. If you have no idea who you're looking at because you wouldn't know where to look for the action to occur. So an action could be a phone call could be a trip somewhere or something like that. So they're looking to kind of just like when Tim actually took me hunting. So we're going to go chase the deer out of this Valley here. We're going to hit the ground they're doing that right now to try to get the guy to move. I think there's a good possibility. Yeah, because that definitely sounds like some I helped him put together exactly what to say and there's a reason behind every word. That's awesome. You know, I mean, so we're going to catch the guy. I think they must be close. Let's go I take this as a very good sign hot meat. Hey, hey, hey, I'm going to ask for your continued support your continued understanding your empathy and compassion empathy as we move forward. to find out who did this and we will We're seeking The public's help to identify the driver of a vehicle that was parked at the old CPS DC as welfare building in the city of Delphi that was abandoned on the east side of County Road. 300 North next to the Hoosier, Heartland Highway. Between the hours of noon to 5:00 on February 14th 2017. If you were parked, there are no who was parked there. Please contact the officers at the command post at the Delphi city building. We are releasing additional portions of the audio recording. from that day Please keep in mind the person talking is one person and is the person on the bridge with the girls? This is not two different people speaking. Please listen to it very very carefully. We are also releasing video. recovered from Libby's phone This video has never before been previously released. The video shows the suspect walking on the bridge. When you see the video. Watch the watch the person's mannerisms as they walk. Watch the mannerisms as he walks. Do you recognize the mannerisms as big someone that you might know? Remember he is walking on the former railroad bridge. Because of the deteriorated condition of the bridge the suspect is not walking naturally due to the spacing between the ties. During the course of this investigation. We have concluded the first sketch released will become secondary as of today. The result of the new information and intelligence over time leads us to believe the sketch which you will see shortly is the person responsible for the murders of these two little girls. We also believe this person is from Delphi. Currently whereas previously lived here. visits delphite a regular basis or works here. We believe this person is currently between the age range of 18 and 40 but might appear younger than his true age. but might not be don't go directly to the Killer. Who may be in this room? We believe you are hiding in plain sight. For more than two years. You never thought we would shift gears to a different investigated strategy, but we have we likely have interviewed you. Or someone close to you. We know that this is about power to you. And you want to know what we know? One day you will. a question to you What will those closest to you? Think of? When they find out that you brutally murdered two little girls. Two children only a coward would do such a thing. We are confident that you have told someone what you have done. Or at the very least they know. Because of how different you are since the murders. So what he that that sounds like they they're just wear it. What does what does that this is what it sounds like to me now after listen to that. So I take back what I said earlier. I don't believe they know who it is. Probably they have worked a lot with the FBI's Behavioral Science unit and a profiler has laid out who they think this type of person is probably including the Heat. Lives in the area and is still living there. So I went I think the strategy just my guess is from what he said the purpose for that was let's see after this goes out who disappears from town because it's such a small town. It would be easy after that happens to be like, oh my brother George, you know has been he left town. He's not come back and then now you know who to chase after so you think this isn't like we do know who it is or they they have a fit because they said almost like how do you think your family's going to feel in Maya? They it sounded like a mister. What's that Kevin Costner movie? Mr. Brooks. Mr. Brooks type thing where it's like how you think people are going to feel when we it almost sounded like they think it's somebody like of a notable or of importance type thing. I don't know. I think definitely because it's small town in Indiana. It's everybody knows everybody. So I think it would be easy to assume because this person is able to blend in town. They Worried about how they're perceived because otherwise they would already stick out. You know what I mean? If they were a weirdo or if they did awful things. Yeah, like a creepy guy down the street. Yeah. So whoever this is, I think they're pretty convinced. He's from the community and is still living there and this would be a good move because it's he's kind of like giving out innuendo like we know a lot more than you think we know and you're about to we're about to close in on you. So now would be a good time for that. Listen to beat feet leaving for someone to act out of character essential. Yeah, but do something is that's what is a sling on now after hearing that. Yeah, and it would be easy to identify in Delphi, right? Because everybody knows everybody they'll be like, oh, hey the janitor from the school has not showed up for work, you know our whatever the case may be. So why do you put the two wide range of like age like if he does live there and doesn't live there like, why do that that's where people for tips, right? Yeah, and I bet you the this vehicle that was parked there. That's a new tip somehow or they captured a Porsche. But I'm some kind of video they didn't have available before something and they either got enough of a shot that they're able to guess an age or an eyewitness said the person was, you know between the sage in that area. So the big thing that I heard was that and like the remind me of the behavior analysis was when they called him a coward. Yes like that that immediately was like they're trying to get him to yeah just trigger him in some way because I've dealt with just on one case of that work very closely with an FBI profiler for a long period of my case and they do that they like map out a Exactly, like what characteristics like the person? Yes. Yeah. If you call me saying you're hiding in plain sight. This is somebody who's very confident almost. Yes exactly others, who would who would be embarrassed if this were to come out which is exactly said, what's your family gonna think? What right right right because you can't blend in a small community like that not be the town Weird Al, you know, I mean if you act out in those ways outward, this is insane that why wait three years for that though. Well because they the original sketch came from that video, so they're trying to draw Who they think it is? I would assume that this has been hours and hours and hours and hours of work. Yeah, they initially have a suspect like did they ever come up with one? They didn't that's why Pat and put out the reward the initial press conference was just a screenshot or just a still picture from the video from the video and a little voice sample and they did a press conference the superintendent and Pat and then pop it up Beyond have to reward and then the practice they put up the other half or so and it was all too. Illicit tips and I've guessed it probably takes man you can imagine how many tips that bullshit tips to get Kanye to sort through it over to I think there's like two hundred thousand dollars up for grabs. Everyone's calling so I haven't just taken so much time to finally get enough information to the Behavioral Science unit. I'm guessing and then it takes a long time for them to processing it back to you because their caseload so she haylage. No, I mean this show is nothing to do with this type of stuff ever. It is really cool. Have a guy who's a very successful detective 21 years of detecting shit and you just it's very awesome to have you in it. I tell you what, it's I'm glad you guys enjoy. I enjoy it more I think from the outside now, like if we as the pressure we ever come up with what yeah. Yes and you've already experienced a little bit of what the bureaucracy is, like when you're in the mix that that's what I don't miss like working those cases and stuff there. Was so much in the way of just doing just figuring it out the cool stuff. And yeah and just doing the job, you know what I mean? And but from the outside now can kind of just enjoy those good parts. It would be cool. If we ever find our place to kind of work in that capacity. I think the interesting thing here is especially knowing what we know now from you you were did the wiretapping for a while you did the other stuff for a while the thought of what's happening right now after this press conference after dealing with you for A little bit of time now not dealing with you but learning from you for a little bit. They're diving into people's phones like okay who made some frantic phone calls, right? Who's leaving town who it's all it's almost like whenever I started doing MMA rolling with people. Yes and matron would poke me in my one side. So I would literally just move in as soon as I move. He grabs my neck. It's like exact that's what detectives are doing. They're like literally just prodding at somebody or the suspect so that they do something and bang. They're like, all right. Here we go. Yes first like if you could take a three-dimensional model of your case, right all the facts and circumstances and players involved or whatever and lay it on a two-dimensional Flat Line. You're looking for things to go up and down from that Flatline, right? And then you're like, oh, let me see why that happened and you know, it just takes such a long time to do not that like it's responsible for at least one of my divorces because I was so OCD like I would just get so wrapped up in the cases that I was just Work all the time would be hard not to yeah, I'll just be hard because at any given time something could pop off. Yes. Yes, absolutely. And I won't let go of it. I'd be like, hey, I'm not gonna be home for a couple days or whatever. You know, I just pop in to sleep for two hours back out always on my phone whenever we win anywhere. Oh, you fucking somebody. Yeah. Yeah potential serial killer but same thing and it's not different than other jobs. Really. I mean to like in the NFL if you want to be the best your position, you have to be a freak about it. Yeah. Us with yes, you literally have and there's you know that somehow sometimes as a balance. Well with other aspects I have a question on that regard. Is it difficult to like detach yourself emotionally when you get invested in a case like that it was for me. I think there are extinct when you catch this guy you've been digging into this guy's life for a long time like, uh Carter right? There was very emotional and I think right here I'm taking deep breaths. Who's when he catches? How hard is it? Not just punch that guy right in the face, you know, Harry Hawk. Yeah very high. Sometimes you're in the car. Waiting for the jump on you like I hope this motherfucker does so yeah. I mean, he just gives you is weighty. But yeah that and it's just like it's hard to go home and enjoy relaxing and not paying attention or doing something for those victims. You know what I mean? Like you feel guilty do you feel guilty about? Oh, I'm just watching The Sopranos tonight and I should be fucking making some phone calls or something chasing a killer just real quick. Shout out to the Indiana State Police doing their work here for the Delphi murders very excited to see See if they can catch the asshole monster that did this. If you have any tips, please reach out. Go ahead give there's a big purse on the line for it. I'm not sure how big our demo is and Delphi but I'm assuming there's a few people that are listening to the show right now, if you know anything hey, if you know something say Amen.
