Let's go. Ready. Ready. Come on. Ready. Let's go. Let's go. Ready to flex at where it's at. Come in. We stream with a check. You can get a coverage like a Ricky. He'll be cook. [singing] What's up guys? Mystic Zack here. Welcome back to episode 10 of Double Coverage. Today we're kicking it off in Miami and we have a special guest co-host, my guy team Paul member, former NFL player Dcut.

What's up, man? What's cracking, bro? How are you? Good, bro. Appreciate you having me, man. It's a lot of energy. Fight week.

We know. We know. Mr. Zack always show up fight week. Always. Always. Never missed one. started uh getting real cool with Jake when I was in high school. Um kept it up from there. I told him he could be a real pro boxer kind of before anyone else did. And now Jake versus Joshua Netflix probably 100 million viewers.

Crazy. Crazy, bro. History. History. History, bro. You actually a part of history. You've seen the whole

We all are. Yeah. Everyone who's in Miami right now for this event, in my opinion, is a part of history. What are you thinking when Jake tells you, "I'm going to fight this 6'5, 250 lb, two-time heavyweight champion, Olympic gold medalist."

Man, I think like all of us, everyone on the team, it was like an excitement, but like, you know, you don't want to be fearful like team Paul, that's what we stand on, you know, any anyone, anytime, any place. You know what I'm saying? So, we live and die by that. You're So you're in camp for someone who's 5 foot five, 135 lbs.

Exactly. And Jake does a 180 and he fights a behemoth. This is crazy. And it's like in the So in the midst of that, we're losing weight, we're cutting weight, we're getting ready for tank. You know what I'm saying? We got to Jake's on a different diet. We got to make weight. And then it's like we get hit with a total 360 change. You know what I'm saying? So it's like my mind, everyone had a different mindset. I mean, of course, you know, we we warriors. We're battle tested. We've been underdog plenty of times, so like it wasn't a question to us. It was more so like the timing. I think the confidence level jumped right up right after that. We know how Jake is. He takes it very serious. Boom. The next day we're getting sparring partners on the phone.

We got the top guys on the phone. And no, immediately I get a call from uh Frank Sanchez, manager. They're like, "Jake just called me a spar." I'm like, "Let's go.

Got to give them the real deal. Got to give them a real taste of what's going on." And I think like with Jay Leon, Jay Lee being a, you know, pro and Third being a pro, they were in these sparring partners' ears straight up. No, he got a taste of it. And he was like, "Nah, give me more rounds." Third's like trying to switch the guys in. He's like, "I want him. Nah, keep him in there." Like now I think everyone, you know, they the guys would come after practice. I went I went full out today. I really tried to give Jake his all. He's showing me something.

Like everyone was kind of open about telling telling how it is. And even after sparring, even if the guys got the best of Jake, they would, hey, this is what you need to do. And the next day we come in, his tools getting sharpened. So, I'm excited to see what he can do. I've seen him take the power. I've seen him, you know, hold up. I've seen him be on his last little bit of energy. And, you know, we're sparring three different heavyweights rotating in for 12 rounds. You know, we're doing more than what the fight is just so he has that extra conditioning. I think this bout's going to be eight rounds.

Yeah, eight rounds. So, it's it's going to be it's going to be good, man. Yeah. I think no matter what, he's disproved everyone cuz at first it was, well, Jake's not going to fight a real athlete. Then it was Nate Robinson. Then it's like, well, he's not going to fight someone who knows how to fight. So, then he fights an MMA champion. Then they're like, well, he's not going to fight someone with power, then he fights Woodley. Then they're like, well, he's not going to fight someone his size, then he fights Silva. Then they're like, he's not going to fight a boxer. Then he fights Tommy. And then the list goes on and on. But the fact that he accepted a fight against a guy half a foot taller than him with four times experience, you know what I mean? Two-time champion Olympic gold medalist, I think speaks volumes. No matter what the outcome is, you can't you can't say a word

about his heart or or what he's here to do in the sport. Clearly, he's willing to fight the best.

100% 100%. I mean, you've seen it. His mindset, his work ethic, he's just different, bro. He's just wired different. He's, you know, he he he gives the he gives the world what they want as far as like a marketer. He's one of the best at marketing in the world, but as far as work ethic, it it goes hand in hand, you know, like it's not just like he's creating these viral moments and just trying to sell tickets and then like at the house just like hanging out, you know what I'm saying?

He's giving everything he's got day by day in and day out and then, you know, he lives in the moment when the cameras are on. He lives in the moment. I'm going to give you what you need to get so you can tune in.

Yeah. and that hard work. Obviously, you being a strength conditioning coach, you would know better than anyone about the work he puts in, but I've been telling people for years about how determined he is and how hard he works outside of the ring.

It's insane, man. I mean, it's inspir in inspirational to everyone around him. And you've been around NFL guys in weight rooms. You've been around the best of the best. He's on par with those athletes right?

100%. I mean, he he has better work ethic than some of the guys that are in the NFL right now that I played with. I mean, he's just different. It's just he wants it. He sets his goals and whatever he's has to do to do it.

Jake versus Joshua. We're gonna say Jake versus Joshua. Bro, judgement day. Judgement day. What What is your prediction?

Heavyweight boxing. See, heavyweight boxing. I was saying this, heavyweight boxing might as well be a different sport than any other weight class. It might as well be table tennis to tennis.

There's too much on the line. I feel like it's like almost like how Wilder woke up in Fury. Fury woke up, you know, like just

if Philip Rivers can come back after 5 years retired and almost beat the Seattle Seahawks at Seattle, then anything is possible.

Anything's possible. Speaking on that, Philip Rivers, man, what a legend. Legend.

Legend, man. Like, growing up, you know, I'm I'm an LA kid, so we didn't have a team, you know, we had, you know, we had to drive down to San Diego. So, LT, Philip Rivers, that was my go-to, man. I got the bobblehead still. I got Antonio Gates.

Antonio Gates, Darren Sprouls, you know who else we have? Who was our receiver back then? We had we had we had some special teams. We had Kareem Osgood. We had some crazy people on the Chargers back then, man. That was

He was a monster. It was a monster. Antonio Marty, bro. Yeah. One of one. 6'2, 43. Yeah. So, the Chargers were number one offense, number one defense. Missed the playoffs every year. Yeah. It was crazy.

Every year I would Those were insane teams. I would literally be cry. We could never get past uh the Colts, man.

Paid man. Manning. We had Antonio Gates on the pot and he was talking about that like how disappointing like to have all that talent and it never came together at the right time.

Never did. I remember one time we got to like the second third round playoffs and it was like Steelers came in took that. Troy Palamalu those guys like it was

Big Ben, Brady, Payton Manning. Like that was crazy. You don't have that anymore. We don't even have 4,000 yard passers. Those guys were all passing for 5,000 yards like easy. No problem.

Do you think that Philip Rivers actually is that still elite more better? Like he's that elite.

Well, I think just the fact that he is so well verssed in the playbook cuz he So Stiken the Colts head coach was his offensive coordinator with the Chargers. So he knows the offense really really well. He talks to him every week. He's been coaching ball.

So this experience thing. Yeah. And then I he came in almost beat Seattle. He didn't make one mistake. No turnovers, no sacks. And I think that's what the Colts wanted. Yeah.

Like we just want someone to take the reigns, complete like third and four. You know what I'm saying? Like like make the right read but not take us out of the game, which is what these young quarterbacks probably would have done. Like and Tom Brady said, you know, you give him 30 days, he's going to come back and like dominate right now at 48.

He stood on. I I know 100% Tom Brady would definitely come dominate. Rogers is 42. He's killing it for the Steelers.

Rogers is crushing it. Yeah, it I mean old guys are in. Old guys are in. I might have to make a rerun bro.

Rivers making you itch or what? For sure. I'm not going to lie. Like after some of these camps with Jake, I was like,

dude, I'm I still got it. Like, we play a little football here and there and I'm I'm doing the feet work, doing the ladder drill, you know, we we make sure Jake is big on feet work. We go to the track, we're hitting the ladder, you know. Shout out Coach Larry Wade. You know, I was Jake's strength and conditioning coach for the first six fights and then after Tommy, we had a couple coaches changes. I took a little break and then I came back and uh shout out Larry Wade. He's the new strength and conditioning coach. So, when I came back, you know, I do do strength and conditioning coaching with Jake, but I'm more of a workout partner now.

Yeah. So, I've been there every step of the way. Every push more pushing him, getting the reps in. Every every workout, I'm right there doing the exact same thing. It's It's crazy that a lot of boxers don't have that. It's so important.

If you look at Lance Armstrong, they pay guys just to bike next to him so he can keep the pace up.

That's their entire job. I know someone that was his job. So, he was hired and he was a biker and for a lot of the the paces, the laps, he would keep up in front of Lance and give him like a good pace to get to and then he would drop off and someone else would go. Who would want to do a fight camp like by you know how lonely that would be? to like you you walk out and no one says anything. You just go and do like that would suck. So

yeah, it's and there are guys like that. We sparring partners just pop out. We're like where's your coach?

Bad for the sparring partner sometimes. Yeah. They're like I don't got no coach. I don't got nothing. Some guys like it like uh Raymond Ford. I had a question. I was talking to him during camp because you know different guys brought their and he was like I was like man you're young. Like who's coaching? He's like I coach myself. I coach myself. I'm like,

Raymond Ford, that cannot work long term. Boxing is like the one sport you definitely need a trainer. Like you cannot self train as a boxer. There's no way. Football like you might be so athletic. Some of those guys like Ziggy Ansa from Africa comes in, he's like 19 years old and just dominates because he's 6'5, 250. You know what I mean?

Yeah, you got those freaks for sure in football. I mean, it's it's not as sometimes technique isn't as important for like the super

for the position. Yeah, for a position, you know, like obviously quarterback, duh.

Yeah, you got to have you got to have but running back like hold the ball tight, high and tight, you know, that's why you got some of these guys, they come in the NFL and like

they're they're amazing, but then they got these weird t they're fumbling. They got because

No, and then the the the the fans would be like, well, why isn't he in? And they don't understand. He just blew his pass protection on third down and got the quarterback like hit hard. Well, how do you feel about the guys that are box window coaches? Like

I I would not advise that. No, it doesn't sound great. Maybe like Floyd, like if Floyd came out of retirement now and like just trained himself like Yeah. He's like boxing sensei, so he might be able to do it. But other than Floyd, I don't think

I don't know of anyone. Even Pacquiao like still has Freddy Roach, you know? Yeah.

Like even the guys that have done it all, been there with anyone in any weight class and know everything there is, they still have coaches. Yeah. Got to have a trainer for sure.

Uh Patrick Mahomes, are the Chiefs is like, [sighs] how done are they? It's crazy, man.

They might have to take like a three-year reset. I'm one of those guys that get tired of the same people winning. I I'm I love an underdog story. So, it's like

same with no no hate to Tom Brady, but it's like that Patriots run. It's like, all right, after the fourth Super Bowl, you're like, damn, do I want to go to the Super Bowl party this year? like the Patriots fans, the you got the bandwagoners jumping on like everyone's a Chiefs fan now. Like now we're going to see who the real Chiefs fans are. All you all you Patrick Mahomes, oh Patrick, now he's hurt. We're going to see. I don't want to hear you talking about, oh no, I always love Jaylen Herz. I always thought he was a good, you know, how those fans switch up. So I just think the Chiefs, man, right now it's just the team is amazing. Obviously, they talented. They're always going to be talented.

When you got a guy like Travis Kelce, bro, I don't think he's in a play after this year. I think we saw Patrick Mahomes. Sorry, next year. I don't I think we saw Patrick Mahomes throw his last pass to Travis Kelce.

You think Kelsey's calling the quiz? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, he's going to pull a ground.

I'd be shocked if he came back. Yeah, I mean those tight ends, they do. He's getting married to Taylor Swift. Like, get out. They're not going to do anything. There's no way.

What What about he goes and gets another contract. Go get some more money somewhere else. I mean, you can't never knock that.

You could knock that, but like I I think the Chiefs dynasty, I think, is crumbling in front of us.

So, the Chiefs might have a fiveyear reset here. Five year reset. They're going to go with the the Pats reset.

Yeah, they might have to do the Pats reset. And I don't listen for Momes to be compared to Brady. You got to get back to that mountaintop like a few more times, which is the hardest thing in sports. And I don't think he's going to have Kelsey. I don't know what they're going to do.

I love what Brady came and did in Tampa. So, and in Tampa. Yeah, I love what Brady did in Tampa. Like, that's where my respect level because, you know, I was I was a I was a Patriots hater. Like, like I'm not a Brady hater. It's like I'm not a I'm not a

I'm not a Patrick Mahomes hater. I'm a I'm a I'm a Chiefs. I'm tired of seeing that red and yellow every year. You know what I'm saying? So, it's like I love what they have going on there. I love the trades they make. I love how they bring different people in. I love Hollywood Brown coming in there. I I love how they do certain things to like make it seem like you don't know, you don't think they're going to be that good this next year and then all of a sudden they're back in the Super Bowl.

Oh, yeah. When they got rid of Tyreek, I mean, the fact they won two Super Bowls without Tyreek, outrageous. We're going to see a whole new Chiefs. And the bandwagons, let's see if they stay.

I always tell Jake, I say, "Jake, you're physical. You're aggressive. You need to play safety." But he thinks he's a Juju Smith Shuster.

Juju Smith Schustster had like 1,200 yards at like 22 years old. But I guess current day Juju not the same. Yeah. I mean,

but when he blocks, he does his thing. He's he's a I think that's what Jake thinks he can block good, you know, be a utility, catch a catch a little out out pass. Yeah.

We'll see. We'll see. We'll see when after this boxing run. Jake said he got about three, four. I mean, yesterday he said he's old. He called everyone on stage old, but we'll see. We'll see if he makes that run back to, you know, maybe him and Patrick will come come back.

I got the wide receivers coaches for him. We got coach DJ McCarthy. We got Chris Carter right here at FAU. You don't have Mahomes in the playoffs. Lamar might not be in the playoffs. Let's see. Burrow's not in the playoffs.

It's it's it's I'm telling you, it's it's it's a new game. And that's what's crazy about this new game with Philip Rivers coming back. And it's like the game's fast now. We got hurry up. They're barely getting in the huddle now. They're barely putting it under center. They're barely getting an Iman. It's all spread.

There's one man left standing out of all the quarterbacks. Like to me, that's Josh Allen. So, there's no excuses for him this year. You got to go out there and win the Super Bowl.

Drake May was Drake May monster. You got you know he's he's doing it. And then Stafford in the NFC

36 another young guy that just stepped up this year. I Bo Nick Knicks for the Broncos.

Bo Nicks he is they don't lose. Unbelievable. Then even even you know he didn't get the best end of the stick. He didn't have Malik Neighbors with him this year but

Dart Dart is having a savage. the Broncos having that home field advantage in the playoffs in that altitude. They might be really d I mean like I've been thinking like ah they're not going to do it. They're not going to do it. They're not going to do it. But if they get the one seed and you got to go to the altitude and they just got to win two games, we might see Denver in the Super Bowl. Burrow's not in it. Lamar might not be in it. Like this is your shot.

So here's a little history about me. So I went to University of Hawaii and you know I was undrafted free agent to the Saints. got to be with Breeze and them and then undrafted free agent released within three days. Got picked up by the Cowboys. Got to play my rookie season with the Cowboys. Undrafted free agent. Was released by game two. Played with Dak. Uh got a good experience, you know, but then it was like only two games in the NFL. My rookie year, I'm cut, I'm released. It's like, oh my god, what what am I going to do with my life? Then I ended up doing the CFL and doing things like that. But re that was just my story real quick. But going back to Hawaii, I remember Tua, you know, coming out of high school and he took a one of his official visits was to University of Hawaii and, you know, this was deciding be be uh between staying home or going to Alabama. And I just remember seeing

this kid like he has the most amazing future ahead of him. He was so humble. He was like, I'm really honestly thinking about staying here. And like we had people at Hawaii like, "Bro, you don't want to come here." Yeah. Like literally, we were literally helping them. Like, you know, just it like you get these people. We like shout out to one of the best running backs in the world to this day. To me, he's he's a local Hawaiian. He's got his family now. He he But his name was Steven Lakalaka. He was one of those guys that decided to stay home. He was a puno legend. uh the best running back if he and he had schools like USC, UCLA online and he came to Hawaii, he stayed home and

he really didn't get the career that was expected of him and a lot of people say that's because he stayed home. So I think like guys like Tua, guys like Mariota, guys like um you know more guys like that that you know took the different route you've seen them have the career that was supposed to be meant for them and uh that was Tua. He went to Alabama you know he

played behind J. He was comes in for the national championship. He's Dude, the Dolphins fans are saying tank for Tua. like he was that guy and he started his NFL career off like that and then surgery. He can't move anymore. I don't see Tua starting anymore.

Yeah. I mean, what's And he's got all that money coming in. So, I don't know what the Dolphins do. They're saying the Dolphins might have to attach a pick in order for a team to trade him. Like, they might have to give up a third round pick with Tua just to say take him.

They're going to have to give up Tyreek. What What about Tyreek situation? I don't know. And then I thought Tyreek maybe can go back to the Chiefs and now Mahomes to his ACL. So I don't and Tyreek's leg is just But if anyone can come back from that, Tyreek's

100%. He's different. He's a different animal guy. Yeah. I shot a commercial with Tyreek. He's like 5'10. He's not tall at all. There was a basketball hoop and he was like standing windmilling. I was like, "What is this guy? He's literally I'm like like I wonder how good he can dong." And he's like literally he takes like one step and he's windmilling. I'm like, "This guy is an alien."

Yeah, he'll be back. He'll be back. He's an alien. He'll be back. He's 42 speed.

Insane. Olympic speed. Like legit Olympic sprinter. Probably could have done hurdles or something as well. Long jump. Whatever he wanted, he could have done.

Yeah. Praying for a good comeback for him. I'm praying for that. Maybe maybe get him a new quarterback in there.

Yeah. No, I I He's not going to be a Dolphin. He's going somewhere. I just don't know where.

Bring it in. We're talking about quarterbacks. We got to Tua Shador Sanders. How do you feel about the whole situation? It's I think he came in, he showed up, he showed out. I think

it's so hard to judge him with this surrounding cast. It's so bad. Yeah, last week was really rough. Really, really rough. But he's got nothing. Like Jerry Jy's handing the ball to the other team. I don't know. I don't know how to judge Shador. He's definitely better than Gabriel, who they picked ahead of him.

Yeah. See how it rolls out. I mean, wait, like you guys wasted two amazing picks when you guys could have I mean, wasted one amazing pick when you guys could have just got him and had someone else had another dangerous weapon in that that offense or even on that defense just to help the team. I think they could have got a running back. They could have grabbed so many different, you know,

they definitely need a receiver. If you trade that pick, maybe some other team wants a quarterback and then you get some more weapons. You know what I mean? sends your door to Miami with Tyreek.

I think Tyreek's gone, but maybe the Cleveland can trade for Tyreek. That might be

Maybe you send Tyreek to Cleveland. Oh, that's something I could see. That's something I could see.

I mean, the Cleveland Cleveland's known for fumbling quarterbacks. Yeah, they are. So, I don't Maybe Shador should

Yeah, it might be better. It might be better. It might be better. They're known for fumbling quarterbacks. So,

they are got to give them some time to develop. I mean, look at Tampa. Yeah. Browns quarterback wasteland. For sure.

For sure. I mean, you've seen it. You've seen them. There's another franchise that we thought of the same way. The Chicago Bears. Never had a 4,000 yard passer in their history. Never had an elite quarterback. They get Caleb Williams with the first pick. He's in year two. The team's completely turned around. They've been the number one seed in the NFC throughout the year a little bit. Now, they're playing the Packers. the winner of this going to win the NFC North.

It's looking like it. This game is going to be insane. This is going to be a big week. William still got a weapon. You got a great receiver out there.

Yeah, you you got a Dunay. You got Coulson Lovelin. They pick him a tight end. You got Luther Burden. So, they do they have weapons.

They got weapons. He doesn't have But they're run first. They're run first. He doesn't have that elite

wide rece. Yeah. Yeah. So, the Packers beat them last time, but that game's at Green Bay. Now, we're going to Chicago. The Bears league's best rushing attack, best offensive line, but the Packers just have a lot more big game experience a lot more. They've been in this situation, but Mike's ACL, so they're not quite the same team for sure with that being said. But I think Jordan Love and the Packers going to Chicago and beat them.

Yeah, I I mean, if I had to if I had to make put my money where my mouth is, I'm going to probably go Packers. They do got some good run game. I think Green Bay's got a good run game as well.

Yeah. Josh Jacobs, just one of a kind. Yeah, for sure. One of a kind. So, [snorts] it could be Green Bay establishing a good run game and kind of just putting it to bed that way. I mean, is there any playoff contention on the line for this or the

the winner, Mike, could be the one seed. The winner probably wins the division. There's a lot on the line here.

Yeah, this is a big game. This is where we see if the Bears are who we think they are.

Okay. This is huge for coach Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams. So I mean, but then they got to go into Chicago.

Yeah, they got to go into that cold Chicago stadium. Crazy fans. They're going to be running the ball. They're going to get tired. You don't have Micah. So this going to be a great game. I think the Pack I think I'm going to rock with Jordan Love and the Packers. So

I'm making the 360 switch. I'm going I'm going Bears. You mean 180. All right. All right.

360 landing right back in Green Bay. You're You know what? Let's make the 180. Let's make the 180.

All right. You're going Chicago Green Bay. All right. Let's go. All right. Let's go. Ravens, Patriots at Baltimore. Baltimore's minus three. So, they're favored coming into this game, but the Patriots have been proven more this year, but the Ravens got that guy at quarterback. You know, they got the guy.

I I'm going this one for sure. I'm going to have to go Ravens. And that's just off peer experience in the big game. That's off pure, you know, just just that Ravens. It It's something about that black and that that black and purple, man. And when it comes to big-time games, they show up like you you you can't count them out. Like I don't want to say this is like Lamar's legacy, but this if there was a year, it's the year where Mahomes tears his ACL and Burrow missed most of the season. Yeah.

To make the playoffs to make a run, you know, like the AFC is more wide open this year than it has been in the last,

I don't know, 20 years without Brady, without Momes. Like you are in prime position to take advantage of that. So this is a huge game. I think we're disrespecting the Patriots a little bit. Plus three. That's I That's a So, we really think these teams are even when the Patriots been better all year. I'm going to go Pat I'm going to buy half a point. I'm going to go Patriots plus three and a half. That's my pick. Speaking of the Steelers, they got a huge game. They're playing at Detroit. Detroit favored by six and a half.

[sighs] This is the one. This is the one everyone's going to be tuned into. Uh I think that's a night game. I think that's a showtime game. Prime time.

I think it's going to just be, you know, it's going to be Detroit just coming in there and doing what they need to do.

The Steelers, especially because they just embarrass the Dolphins, they never have two straight games.

They never do. Like the the these Mike Tomlin Steelers, they consistently win one, lose one, win two, lose one. They're always nine and eight. They're always on the bubble. And they've become like the AFC Cowboys. like they just the last nine years they just no playoff success at all.

None. They'll they'll they'll get you hype. They'll beat one of your teams that you didn't want expect and then they get in there and then they're just like we got in we that's all we needed to do.

Yeah. And those Le'Veon Bell Antonio Brown Steelers that was like the Chargers with LT and Gates dude

like very similar. Very similar. Yeah. Very similar. Never like could That's crazy that they couldn't get anything out of that. But I'm with you. I got Detroit as well. I think they go in there. They do their thing. Then we got the Colts at San Francisco. Phillip Rivers making his second start. Another week in the offense, Monday Night Football, we're putting him in a tough spot here going in San Francisco.

That's tough. That's tough. And it's the Colts have an amazing run game as well. I think just with Taylor alone, if Philip Rivers can, you know, make those sharp passes and make those good tight end pop passes, those good slants, those good third and sevens, those ones, those those pressure plays. I think the Colts go in there, they run it down their throats, and they they they secure the win.

They were the number one seed, and now they got four straight losses. They're staring at the barrel of of being at home come January. So, this is a very important game. What do you think about this Tucce guy going back to college? What is

He's like 5'8, runs a 54 and we got him like getting a scholarship to Syracuse. Have you seen this guy play? It's real.

It's real. Full on scholarship. That's That's insane. If he can do it, Jake can do it. Bro, Jake, you are better than Tusi. I do not care.

100%. Like he might have crispier routes or whatever. He looks cool in his, you know,

his No. Jake runs good routes like like Tusci can shake and bake and do his thing, but he's 5'8. He's like 160 pounds. Like Jake is bodying him.

So, all right. Sorry. So, if Jake goes back to college and and does a two-year,

bro, we'll get him at FAU. FAU. Yeah. Chris Carter. Let's go. That would be crazy.

The Hall of Famer. He I think he would have to go somewhere big time. Yeah. If they would give him a chance, get put him in or something like that.

He needs like attention though. Like he wants to go He wants to go Buckeye. He's going to for sure try to walk. He's gonna try to walk on Ohio State. That's it.

Dude, it's going to be tough for the receivers coach to like mold him when he's got like Jeremiah Smith and all those guys, you know? He might want to pick like a smaller school where they can like really hone his skills, you know,

like really really be all in. Have to go to Hawaii. I'll have to make a call. Get him Hawaii.

Hawaii could be sick. Hawaii had a pretty good year this year. Chill with Utah, you know, do your thing in Hawaii.

Chill. Exactly. Yeah. Um, that could be a move, too. But yeah, no, I think Jake definitely better than two. One last thing. Your first drip check.
