29
00:01:22,920 –> 00:01:23,800

00:01:23,840 –> 00:01:26,200

31
00:01:26,240 –> 00:01:27,240

Speaker 2: Oh? Missouri? Wow? Oh, you got me on that one.

35
00:01:31,959 –> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: Kansas is the Wildcats.

36
00:01:35,160 –> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: I drove through it a few weeks ago. I was

37
00:01:36,680 –> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 1: going to Saint Louis.

38
00:01:37,520 –> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 2: Oh, I don’t know the Bears. Give me a gat

39
00:01:39,360 –> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: I need to.

40
00:01:39,680 –> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: I don’t remember it. I was thinking, if you shoot,

41
00:01:41,319 –> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: we’ll circle back on the next episode.

42
00:01:43,480 –> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: You guys can give it back to us. But hate

43
00:01:46,000 –> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: it when I missed those.

00:01:51,360 –> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 3: I met Mike and Joy actually a few days ago

47
00:01:53,960 –> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 3: up here at training camp. I met Mike one day

48
00:01:56,280 –> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 3: and then Joy was there the second day. They’re celebrating

49
00:01:58,800 –> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 3: Joy’s fortieth birthday. So happy birthday to Joy. They’re from

50
00:02:02,800 –> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 3: western Nebraska out there in Broncos Country, but they represent

51
00:02:05,560 –> 00:02:08,600

Speaker 3: from northern Virginia. Heard from Charles from Ramstein Air Base

53
00:02:13,120 –> 00:02:15,160

00:02:21,480 –> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 3: Charles came up to me and talked about how he

57
00:02:23,639 –> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 3: was a Kingdom defender out there in Germany. So shout

58
00:02:26,200 –> 00:02:29,040

60
00:02:32,520 –> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 2: No, but I want to now. And by the way,

61
00:02:34,560 –> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: prost back to our German friend.

62
00:02:36,760 –> 00:02:37,399

74
00:03:15,040 –> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 3: met my mom and left a very nice note a

75
00:03:17,320 –> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 3: few days ago on our YouTube page.

76
00:03:18,800 –> 00:03:20,119
Speaker 1: Apparently they had a great conversation.

77
00:03:20,160 –> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 3: But he’s met my mom out in the world somewhere,

78
00:03:22,880 –> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 3: So Peter, I’m glad you met my mom. Of all people,

79
00:03:24,760 –> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 3: she probably gave you a business card and told you

80
00:03:26,400 –> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 3: all about how our son was.

81
00:03:27,639 –> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: The Chief Supporters. So thank you for talking to my mom, Peter.

82
00:03:29,840 –> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 2: She probably by the way, and she just travels the world.

83
00:03:34,400 –> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: Today.

84
00:03:34,760 –> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 3: Actually at camp, I met Mike from Stuartsville, Missouri. And

85
00:03:37,920 –> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: also I met Michael today with his future son in law.

86
00:03:41,720 –> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 3: Michael is from Chicago. I brought a son in law here,

87
00:03:44,520 –> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 3: a future son in law from Boston, just to enjoy

88
00:03:47,920 –> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 3: a day at Chiefs Camp. So that’s our around the

89
00:03:50,520 –> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 3: world for today. And actually Michael is celebrating his sixtieth birthday,

90
00:03:54,360 –> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 3: So happy birthday to Michael. What better way to spend

91
00:03:56,920 –> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 3: it than a day at Chiefs camp and.

92
00:03:58,080 –> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 2: A converted Patriots fan. He grew up in Salem, Massachusetts,

93
00:04:01,840 –> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 2: and he has now decided to take the Chief Kingdom.

94
00:04:04,840 –> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 2: Feels like a front runner to me. Right, it’s okay,

95
00:04:07,280 –> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: let’s win six titles with the Patriots. Let’s go win

96
00:04:09,480 –> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: another couple with the Chiefs and get some more here.

97
00:04:11,480 –> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: But right, that’s okay. We’ll take you in the realm

98
00:04:15,600 –> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 2: of Kingdom defenders and of course in the Chief Kingdom.

99
00:04:19,000 –> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: The most talked about room in an NFL the vernacular

100
00:04:23,800 –> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: is the room. When we talk about position groups is

101
00:04:26,600 –> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: the wide receiver corps. Now, let’s go back two years

102
00:04:29,360 –> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 2: ago when everybody thought the Chiefs would go, oh, I

103
00:04:32,240 –> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: don’t know, three and fourteen, and truthfully they had to.

104
00:04:35,760 –> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 2: They had to replace thirteen hundred receiving yards and one

105
00:04:40,000 –> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy targets for Tyreek Hill. Okay, one of

106
00:04:44,880 –> 00:04:47,799
Speaker 2: the answers was Juju Smith Schuster last year one hundred

107
00:04:47,800 –> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 2: and one targets over nine hundred yards, receiving couple touchdowns.

108
00:04:51,560 –> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 2: He had the big catch and run against Buffalo in

109
00:04:54,520 –> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: the regular season. Now, Juju is a Patriot. Speaking of

110
00:04:57,200 –> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: the Patriots. So now what happens to the wide receiver room.

111
00:05:01,480 –> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 2: Let’s break these guys down into groups here, because everybody

112
00:05:04,720 –> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 2: wants to know. Now, let’s be honest. Let’s just really

113
00:05:07,080 –> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 2: be honest here. The reason you want to know fantasy

114
00:05:10,120 –> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 2: drafts are coming up, don’t Matt and I are no

115
00:05:13,120 –> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 2: longer tricked by this. Hey, who’s the wr one who’s

116
00:05:16,040 –> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 2: looking good? Because they so much want to take a

117
00:05:19,600 –> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 2: chief wide receiver for their fantasy team. It’s just buyer beware.

118
00:05:23,720 –> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: Take Kelsey or Mahomes, but you never know who’s going

119
00:05:26,800 –> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 2: to be the receiver who will jump up. And that’s

120
00:05:29,200 –> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 2: by design. That’s the way Andy Reid loves it.

121
00:05:31,400 –> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: It’s almost a good thing.

122
00:05:32,520 –> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 3: And this is something that Patrick Mahomes talked about last

123
00:05:35,040 –> 00:05:38,239
Speaker 3: offseason when all of a sudden, Tyreek Hill wasn’t here anymore,

124
00:05:38,240 –> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 3: and Patrick said, Hey, every single game, it’s going to

125
00:05:40,480 –> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: be somebody else. Some days it will be Juju Smith Schuster,

126
00:05:43,560 –> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 3: some days it’ll be Mark wiz Valdez Scantling, some days

127
00:05:46,120 –> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 3: it’ll be Sky Moore. And guess what happened exactly that.

128
00:05:49,640 –> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 3: Think about the AFC title game last year where all

129
00:05:52,240 –> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 3: of our receivers were hurt except for Mark Wez and

130
00:05:54,440 –> 00:05:55,679
Speaker 3: he has the game of his life.

131
00:05:55,680 –> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: He helps win that game for the Chiefs.

132
00:05:58,160 –> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 3: Or think about the Super Bowl where sky Moore catches

133
00:06:00,360 –> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 3: his first touchdown as a professional in the Super Bowl.

134
00:06:03,440 –> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 3: So when you have so many different weapons on offense,

135
00:06:05,960 –> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 3: they’re all capable, the defense has to respect all of them.

136
00:06:09,040 –> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 3: It doesn’t matter if maybe you don’t have the number

137
00:06:11,839 –> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 3: one guy. You have six receivers who can all go

138
00:06:14,600 –> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 3: out there and make plays and punish the defense. And

139
00:06:17,240 –> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 3: once again we’re seeing that in this camp. Now I

140
00:06:20,080 –> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 3: mentioned six receivers. The Chiefs have never kept more than

141
00:06:22,400 –> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 3: six receivers in the Coach Read era. So we look

142
00:06:25,760 –> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 3: at all the players on this roster right now, I

143
00:06:27,520 –> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 3: believe there’s thirteen receivers in this camp. There’s good players

144
00:06:31,440 –> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 3: who are fighting for those final roster spots. And that

145
00:06:34,160 –> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 3: is a good problem to have when you’re the Chiefs,

146
00:06:36,000 –> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 3: where you have numerous players who maybe on other teams

147
00:06:38,640 –> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 3: would make those rosters and they’re fighting for a spot here.

148
00:06:41,760 –> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 3: It’s a good problem to have. Once again for the Chiefs.

149
00:06:44,320 –> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 3: We’re seeing great competition throughout this camp. We’ll talk about

150
00:06:47,120 –> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 3: some of the names here over the next several minutes.

151
00:06:49,320 –> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 2: And again understand, and we’ve talked about this before, but

152
00:06:51,880 –> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 2: it’s a key piece. If you’re going to talk about

153
00:06:53,760 –> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 2: the wide receivers of the Kansas City Chiefs, it’s almost

154
00:06:56,560 –> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 2: like they have to learn three languages. Think of Mike

155
00:06:59,120 –> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 2: Williams of the Charge. It’s a really good X receiver,

156
00:07:01,240 –> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 2: meaning lining up on the line of scrimmage. But these

157
00:07:04,160 –> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 2: guys in this system are asked to learn everything. You’re

158
00:07:06,920 –> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 2: not a Z, you’re not an AX, you’re not a slot,

159
00:07:08,800 –> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 2: you’re all of it. And you could be four wide,

160
00:07:10,920 –> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 2: you’re going to be in trips. There’s just a lot

161
00:07:12,480 –> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 2: of things that are demanded of these guys. So let’s

162
00:07:15,040 –> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 2: talk about the four guys who were here a year ago.

163
00:07:18,760 –> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 2: And you mentioned Mark cuisveld As Scantling that’s six catch,

164
00:07:21,240 –> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: one hundred eleven yard game against Cincinnati, was fantastic in

165
00:07:25,480 –> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: his touchdown. Still see him kind of backing in on

166
00:07:28,120 –> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 2: his backside into the end zone against the Bengals. But

167
00:07:31,840 –> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: let’s just group these guys together because sky Moore, to me,

168
00:07:34,760 –> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 2: I might be as excited about sky Moore. Don’t want

169
00:07:38,880 –> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 2: to get ahead of myself, but so far this spring

170
00:07:40,960 –> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 2: and summer and in this camp and in pads, you

171
00:07:43,160 –> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 2: can see where sky Moore could be very productive in

172
00:07:46,200 –> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 2: this group. Kadarius Tony sixty five yard punt return in

173
00:07:49,320 –> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. Remember his little hop on one leg

174
00:07:53,040 –> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 2: against the Jaguars during the regular season for a touchdown.

175
00:07:56,160 –> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: Kt former first round draft pick, knee injury right now,

176
00:08:00,520 –> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: he had some minor surgery. Still waiting to see when

177
00:08:03,240 –> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 2: Karius Tony will be back. And then you’re throwing Justin Watson,

178
00:08:07,200 –> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 2: who might be the most underrated of this four group

179
00:08:09,960 –> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 2: that I’m mentioning that was here a year ago. Go

180
00:08:12,200 –> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 2: back and watch his forty one yard touchdown against the

181
00:08:14,320 –> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 2: Chargers set the tone for the Chiefs in that game,

182
00:08:16,560 –> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 2: sixty seven yarder. Talk about setting the tone in a

183
00:08:18,960 –> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 2: vital game over the Raiders in Week eighteen, that was

184
00:08:22,760 –> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 2: early in the game. And then his big play in

185
00:08:25,120 –> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 2: the playoffs when he had a thirteen yard catch against Jacksonville.

186
00:08:29,080 –> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 2: If I’m not mistaken that the Chiefs needed. So you

187
00:08:32,760 –> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 2: look at these four guys that are coming back and

188
00:08:36,120 –> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 2: you’re going, gosh, who’s the Juju Smith Schuster in this

189
00:08:38,520 –> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 2: who’s the Tyreek killing this? Well, just look at them

190
00:08:41,800 –> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 2: collectively and realize that they all have made strides in

191
00:08:45,520 –> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 2: this camp.

192
00:08:46,160 –> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 3: Well, I’ll start with Marquez because he really has made strides.

193
00:08:49,200 –> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 3: I think Marquez is a veteran in this league, but

194
00:08:52,040 –> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 3: still Katrie’s offense is difficult, and you think about where

195
00:08:55,559 –> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 3: he was this time last year. He’s just trying to

196
00:08:58,200 –> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 3: learn the offense and figure out his role on the team. Well,

197
00:09:00,920 –> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 3: now he knows the offense, he’s comfortable, and he can

198
00:09:04,000 –> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 3: really expand on it. So let’s talk a little bit

199
00:09:06,200 –> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 3: about what Marquz did last year. We talked about his

200
00:09:08,600 –> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 3: great effort in the playoffs, but even during the regular season,

201
00:09:11,800 –> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 3: he had seven catches at twenty five or more yards

202
00:09:14,520 –> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 3: last season. That was second on the team behind only

203
00:09:16,480 –> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 3: Travis Kelce, and his sixteen point four yards per catch

204
00:09:19,760 –> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 3: led the team and ranked fourth in the NFL.

205
00:09:22,400 –> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: So he was obviously a deep threat. Where do you

206
00:09:24,800 –> 00:09:25,719
Speaker 1: expand on that.

207
00:09:25,760 –> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 3: Well, one thing I’ve seen in this camp is Marquez

208
00:09:28,160 –> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 3: and Patrick Mahomes. I think their chemistry is improving every

209
00:09:31,320 –> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 3: single day. And it takes a whole season really to

210
00:09:33,880 –> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 3: get to know somebody, and I think we saw it

211
00:09:35,679 –> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 3: towards the end of last year. They were really getting

212
00:09:37,679 –> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 3: in sync and we’re seeing it even more so during

213
00:09:40,200 –> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 3: this camp because we’re not just seeing big plays deep

214
00:09:42,600 –> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 3: down in the field, which we know he can do.

215
00:09:44,360 –> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 3: We’re seeing deep touchdowns down the field where’s Patrick Mahomes

216
00:09:48,400 –> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 3: is hitting Marquez in stride. It’s not just a jump

217
00:09:50,880 –> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 3: ball forty yards down field. I’ll still take the jump balls,

218
00:09:54,320 –> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 3: but I think the next step for their evolution as

219
00:09:57,080 –> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 3: a duo is those deep passes downfield where Marquez catch

220
00:10:00,280 –> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 3: in a stride and it’s a touchdown. So we’re seeing

221
00:10:02,720 –> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 3: that here in this camp. We’ve seen that happen several times,

222
00:10:05,240 –> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 3: which is very exciting. Justin Watson, to me, is an

223
00:10:08,440 –> 00:10:10,719
Speaker 3: example of a guy who maybe if you don’t know

224
00:10:10,960 –> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 3: who some of these players are in the spring, they

225
00:10:13,400 –> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 3: can emerge during training camp and make this football team.

226
00:10:16,760 –> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 3: That’s what happened with Justin last year. I don’t think

227
00:10:19,320 –> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 3: a lot of people knew who Justin Watson was in

228
00:10:22,679 –> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 3: May of last year. But of course he had a

229
00:10:24,840 –> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 3: great offseason, training program, great training camp, great preseason, made

230
00:10:28,160 –> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 3: this team and caught fifteen passes for three hundred and

231
00:10:30,920 –> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 3: fifteen yards, two touchdowns, and averaged twenty one yards per catch.

232
00:10:35,160 –> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 3: How can he now grow going into his second year

233
00:10:37,840 –> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 3: with the Chiefs, and we’re seeing growth from him as well.

234
00:10:40,559 –> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 3: And speaking of Justin, Justin mentioned that no one had

235
00:10:43,240 –> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 3: a better spring.

236
00:10:43,960 –> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: Than Sky Moore.

237
00:10:44,960 –> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 3: He said Sky was outstanding throughout the entire offseason training program.

238
00:10:48,600 –> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 3: We saw it ourselves and agree with that assessment. Just

239
00:10:51,280 –> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 3: a huge volume of work for Sky and he made

240
00:10:53,880 –> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 3: the most of it. He took advantage of every opportunity.

241
00:10:57,400 –> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 3: I think I mentioned last week about how I talked

242
00:10:59,120 –> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 3: to Dante Hall over the summer and asked him, can

243
00:11:02,360 –> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 3: big plays in the Super Bowl and the AFC Title

244
00:11:04,640 –> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 3: Game by Sky can that really elevate his confidence moving forward?

245
00:11:07,720 –> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 3: He said, absolutely it can, and I think so far

246
00:11:10,040 –> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 3: we’re seeing that put into action over the course of

247
00:11:12,960 –> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 3: this training camp. So Sky needs to keep it going.

248
00:11:15,400 –> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 3: But I’m very encouraged about what we’ve seen from Sky

249
00:11:17,720 –> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 3: and all the returning players from last year and the

250
00:11:19,720 –> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 3: receiver corps.

251
00:11:20,440 –> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, as am I. Here are the requirements though, to

252
00:11:22,360 –> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 2: be a wide receiver for Andy Reid in this offense.

253
00:11:25,240 –> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 2: One be a chain mover what Juju Smith Schuster did

254
00:11:28,360 –> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 2: last year, chain mover, tough catches. It’s not just about

255
00:11:31,440 –> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 2: winning again, trying to win your fantasy league This is

256
00:11:34,120 –> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: winning reality football. It was the big reason the Chiefs

257
00:11:36,440 –> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 2: won the Super Bowl last year. In two you have

258
00:11:39,200 –> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 2: to be able to be a contributor on special teams.

259
00:11:41,280 –> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 2: Think about Kadarius Tony’s sixty five yard punt return, longest

260
00:11:44,400 –> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 2: punt return in Super Bowl history, Sky Moore’s punt return

261
00:11:47,880 –> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 2: against Cincinnati, Justin Watson being a potential four core special

262
00:11:51,800 –> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 2: teams player. You have to get the confidence of Patrick Mahomes.

263
00:11:57,160 –> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 2: All of these guys are working on that. Patrick’s more

264
00:11:59,520 –> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 2: confident with these guys than he was a year ago

265
00:12:02,000 –> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 2: at this time. I mean that’s obvious. And then also

266
00:12:04,280 –> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 2: to know all the wide receiver positions. You’re not just

267
00:12:07,120 –> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 2: an X, slot or Z. You have to know them all,

268
00:12:10,400 –> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 2: which segues into the next group of guys. And this

269
00:12:13,600 –> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 2: is second round draft pick Rashi Rice last year, one

270
00:12:17,640 –> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 2: of the top receivers productivity wise, and FBS at SMU

271
00:12:22,000 –> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 2: Justin Ross, who was amazing for Clemson in the National

272
00:12:25,640 –> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 2: Championship Game. And if he’s done in the NFL, he

273
00:12:27,920 –> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 2: can be social media influencer because for whatever reason, social

274
00:12:31,480 –> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 2: media is enamored with Justin Ross. They love him. Okay,

275
00:12:35,640 –> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 2: just be patient, see how this works. And then Richie

276
00:12:38,280 –> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 2: James Junior, a veteran who last year had some big

277
00:12:41,760 –> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 2: productivity with the New York Giants. He was the kick

278
00:12:45,040 –> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 2: returner for the San Francisco forty nine ers in Super

279
00:12:47,880 –> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 2: Bowl fifty four when the Chiefs made their big push

280
00:12:50,600 –> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 2: and rally. They tackled Richie James twice inside the twenty

281
00:12:54,960 –> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 2: on two different returns in that rally. When we first

282
00:12:57,960 –> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 2: signed him his first day in the building, I saw him.

283
00:12:59,720 –> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 2: I said, Richie, thank you for not returning those kicks.

284
00:13:02,480 –> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 2: But he’s tough and feisty. Go back to the requirements

285
00:13:05,160 –> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 2: I just gave. These guys. Now have to fill in

286
00:13:08,240 –> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 2: those boxes. They have to check those boxes. Can I

287
00:13:10,840 –> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 2: make a catch tough traffic and move the chains, not

288
00:13:14,360 –> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 2: just big plays too. Can I be a special treams

289
00:13:16,679 –> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 2: teams contributor all of them have to be even on

290
00:13:19,040 –> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 2: coverage plays.

291
00:13:20,200 –> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: Uh.

292
00:13:20,840 –> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 2: Can I get the confidence of Patrick Mahomes on a

293
00:13:23,120 –> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 2: consistent basis? And can I learn every receiver position for

294
00:13:26,360 –> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 2: young guys. That’s a work in progress, But that’s where

295
00:13:29,080 –> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 2: I’m at with those three guys.

296
00:13:30,559 –> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 3: Before I jump into these players, I’m going to go

297
00:13:32,520 –> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 3: off the rails for a moment.

298
00:13:33,800 –> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: This has been driving me crazy a whole episode.

299
00:13:36,400 –> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 3: Brookfield, Brookfield, Missouri, not Burlington, not Burlington Missouri.

300
00:13:41,400 –> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: Mascot is Oh.

301
00:13:42,280 –> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 2: God, they’re the they Well they play New Cambria, they

302
00:13:45,440 –> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 2: play the Bell against Marceline. There’s some big game that

303
00:13:47,960 –> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 2: they have. I should know. Uh oh, I’m going to

304
00:13:51,280 –> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 2: get clobbered on this.

305
00:13:52,400 –> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: I know the answer this.

306
00:13:53,160 –> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 2: Do you do this one?

307
00:13:54,800 –> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 1: They’re like consuming me the whole episode.

308
00:13:56,840 –> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 2: Give me the first letter B. It’s alliterative Bruins, Bears, Bears.

309
00:14:03,360 –> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: Bulldogs, Bulldogs, the Brookfield Bulldogs. We got it. That’s what

310
00:14:06,800 –> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: drive me crazy all day.

311
00:14:07,800 –> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

312
00:14:08,040 –> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: Anyway, let’s keep talking about receiving Brickfield.

313
00:14:10,320 –> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, they’ve had great tradition. They played for the bell

314
00:14:12,640 –> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 2: against somebody or the club or something. They got a

315
00:14:14,760 –> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 2: big rivalry Arckfield. Let’s go to these three guys because

316
00:14:17,840 –> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 2: they have to check those boxes.

317
00:14:19,240 –> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: Matt, Yeah, they do.

318
00:14:20,000 –> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 3: And Richie James is one that I’m very excited about

319
00:14:22,320 –> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 3: because if you look at Richie James, look at what

320
00:14:23,960 –> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 3: he did last season with the New York Giants, set

321
00:14:26,720 –> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 3: career bests and catches with fifty seven, receiving yards with

322
00:14:29,800 –> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 3: five hundred and sixty nine and touchdowns with four, he

323
00:14:32,680 –> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 3: would have ranked third on the Chiefs and catches last

324
00:14:35,440 –> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 3: season for some context. Great speed and agility, and we’ve

325
00:14:38,880 –> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 3: seen that during this camp, lots of juking out defenders,

326
00:14:41,680 –> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 3: stuff like that. But I don’t think we should pigeonhole

327
00:14:44,360 –> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 3: him into the role of just being like a jet

328
00:14:46,080 –> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 3: sweep guy or something, because he did a lot of

329
00:14:47,960 –> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 3: stuff with the Giants that really impressed me, that really

330
00:14:50,600 –> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 3: showed that he can do a wide array of things,

331
00:14:53,040 –> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 3: one of them being going over the middle and making

332
00:14:55,320 –> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 3: tough catches. Fifty three percent of his receptions last year

333
00:14:59,200 –> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 3: were over the the middle, shallow over the middle catches

334
00:15:02,480 –> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 3: like think about slants on third down, trying to move

335
00:15:05,200 –> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 3: the chains, and he was sure handed only three drops

336
00:15:07,800 –> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 3: on sixty seven targets last season. That’s the kind of

337
00:15:10,520 –> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 3: player we’re looking for if we’re trying to find I

338
00:15:13,560 –> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 3: don’t want to say a replacement, but if you’re trying

339
00:15:15,320 –> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 3: to fill the void left by Juju Smith Schuster, Guys

340
00:15:18,240 –> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 3: like Richie James can fill that role. Maybe he doesn’t

341
00:15:20,640 –> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 3: do it all the time, but he can do it.

342
00:15:22,160 –> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 3: He showed that he could do it in New York.

343
00:15:24,160 –> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 2: So to throw punt returning on that to me by

344
00:15:26,840 –> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: the time camp is over, it would be awesome if

345
00:15:29,480 –> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 2: Richie James Junior is the punt returner and you’re not

346
00:15:32,040 –> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 2: wondering cash could it be one of five guys. It

347
00:15:34,320 –> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 2: would be nice if he won that job. That’s why

348
00:15:36,280 –> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 2: preseason games are going to be big. He’s proven he

349
00:15:38,560 –> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 2: can done it. He can do it. He had a

350
00:15:40,120 –> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 2: couple of fumbles last year, but he’s got seventy five

351
00:15:43,680 –> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 2: career punt returns.

352
00:15:44,680 –> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 3: Sure he can do it, twenty four just last year,

353
00:15:46,800 –> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 3: so we know Richie James can do it. I think

354
00:15:48,600 –> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 3: coach Dobe said a few days ago that Richie right

355
00:15:50,600 –> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 3: now is the leader in the clubhouse to be the

356
00:15:52,440 –> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 3: punt returner this season. Has to hold on to that job,

357
00:15:55,320 –> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 3: but certainly has a great shot being our punt returner

358
00:15:58,400 –> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 3: this year. Then you look at rash Rice fifty five

359
00:16:01,840 –> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 3: overall pick out of SMU, just a huge season for

360
00:16:05,040 –> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 3: the Mustangs last year. I’ve been very encouraged by his

361
00:16:10,880 –> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 3: steady growth from when we first watched him in rookie

362
00:16:13,520 –> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 3: Minni camp in early May to now. It’s just very

363
00:16:16,360 –> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 3: clear that he is way more comfortable already in this

364
00:16:19,560 –> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 3: offense and in this scheme than he was just a

365
00:16:21,640 –> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 3: few months ago.

366
00:16:22,280 –> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: And that’s what you want to see.

367
00:16:23,560 –> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 3: You hope by now guys are getting used to things,

368
00:16:26,320 –> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 3: and Rashid certainly is.

369
00:16:28,320 –> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: We know what he can do deep down the field.

370
00:16:30,200 –> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 3: He had sixteen contested catches last year, top vertical jump

371
00:16:33,120 –> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 3: of any receiver at the combine. We know he can

372
00:16:35,400 –> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 3: do that. But one thing I’m very excited about. Go

373
00:16:37,920 –> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 3: back and watch night two of the draft. The press

374
00:16:40,360 –> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 3: conference afterward, Assistant general manager Mike Borganzi mentioned that Rashi

375
00:16:44,400 –> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 3: is like a running back in the open field. That’s

376
00:16:46,560 –> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 3: one of the things that really drew them to selecting

377
00:16:49,080 –> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 3: him is he’s violent in the open field. He’s like

378
00:16:51,240 –> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 3: a running back, right, He’s not just a receiver that

379
00:16:53,120 –> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 3: catches it and gets tackled. Well, he can do it

380
00:16:57,440 –> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 3: after the catch deep down the field, sure, But one

381
00:16:59,760 –> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 3: area that gets kind of lost in that is think

382
00:17:01,960 –> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 3: about things like jet sweeps, pop passes, quick screens, things

383
00:17:05,960 –> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 3: like that. He can excel in that area and we

384
00:17:08,080 –> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 3: saw it just a few days ago in this camp

385
00:17:09,920 –> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 3: where he took a quick end a round, took it

386
00:17:11,800 –> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 3: around the edge. Big game deep down the field. Because

387
00:17:14,800 –> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 3: DB’s can’t tackle this guy. He’s built like a running back,

388
00:17:18,119 –> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 3: so I’m not sure what his role will be immediately,

389
00:17:21,040 –> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 3: but we know coach Reied loves to put guys in

390
00:17:23,480 –> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 3: motion and use players like that, and I think RARESHI

391
00:17:27,320 –> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 3: can fill that role very nicely early on in his career.

392
00:17:30,520 –> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 3: And I think if he’s comfortable doing that, I think

393
00:17:32,560 –> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 3: he’ll expand from there.

394
00:17:33,960 –> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, he’s I mean, we’ve seen how the Chiefs used

395
00:17:37,280 –> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 2: those jet sweeps or that motion action to create the

396
00:17:40,200 –> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 2: geometry in getting guys open, which he’s coach read is

397
00:17:45,000 –> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 2: amazing at quite honestly. And then Justin Ross, Hey, you

398
00:17:48,600 –> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 2: already know about him. You want to invite him to

399
00:17:50,400 –> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 2: your family re union or a prom because everybody but

400
00:17:54,359 –> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 2: we’ve seen glimpses. Now, I just we just want everybody

401
00:17:56,520 –> 00:17:59,959
Speaker 2: just to pump the brakes because, as we mentioned our

402
00:18:00,080 –> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 2: live stream, if you were able to watch that earlier

403
00:18:02,680 –> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 2: in camp, everybody wants the wr one. They want to

404
00:18:06,760 –> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 2: take a Chief in the fantasy draft and just buyer beware.

405
00:18:10,000 –> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 2: Kelsey Mahomes. Yeah, but you just never know who it’s

406
00:18:13,080 –> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 2: going to be. But there’s enough there from Justin Ross

407
00:18:16,840 –> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 2: to get excited about it. Just don’t get too excited.

408
00:18:20,000 –> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 2: Just let this work.

409
00:18:21,200 –> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 3: And I understand the excitement for Justin Ross. If you

410
00:18:23,720 –> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 3: go back to what twenty eighteen when he was a

411
00:18:25,920 –> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 3: freshman at Clemson, the guy looks like a future first

412
00:18:28,400 –> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 3: round pick.

413
00:18:29,280 –> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 1: The issue was injuries.

414
00:18:30,480 –> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 3: He had injuries that just got in the way of

415
00:18:32,520 –> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 3: him building on that reputation at Clemson. Ends up going

416
00:18:36,240 –> 00:18:40,239
Speaker 3: undrafted last year. But the Chiefs take a flyer on him.

417
00:18:40,280 –> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 3: They’re like, let’s see what he can do. Unfortunately, got

418
00:18:42,680 –> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 3: hurt last year. I think it was just a lingering

419
00:18:45,000 –> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 3: injury from something that Clemson. It was a foot injury.

420
00:18:47,160 –> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 3: Couldn’t go last year, was placed on injury reserve like

421
00:18:49,640 –> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 3: the first day of camp. But he’s healthy now. He’s

422
00:18:52,240 –> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 3: been healthy all off season. He looked good in the

423
00:18:54,359 –> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 3: off season training program, and I’ll give him credit. He’s

424
00:18:57,280 –> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 3: looked really good in this camp, handled a variety of roles,

425
00:19:00,520 –> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 3: and this is his opportunity. This is his chance, and

426
00:19:02,960 –> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 3: I think he’s making the most of it. He’s a big, long,

427
00:19:05,760 –> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 3: physical receiver who can go up and get the football.

428
00:19:08,400 –> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 1: And whenever you’re an NFL team, you can use players

429
00:19:11,440 –> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: like that.

430
00:19:11,840 –> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 3: So we’ll see what he can do throughout the rest

431
00:19:13,280 –> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 3: of this camp, if he can stay healthy and if

432
00:19:15,160 –> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 3: he can impress in the preseason. But the Justin Ross experiment,

433
00:19:19,040 –> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 3: I know on social media the hype is unreal, but

434
00:19:22,600 –> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 3: part of it is real. You know, he’s playing very well.

435
00:19:24,920 –> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 3: He has to earn it though, and has to continue

436
00:19:27,480 –> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 3: playing well throughout this camp.

437
00:19:28,960 –> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 2: There’s thirteen receivers in this camp. We’ll close this way,

438
00:19:31,359 –> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 2: and I’m just going to gloss over these guys, not

439
00:19:33,720 –> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 2: to disrespect, but one of those things when you pay

440
00:19:37,040 –> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 2: attention to Matt and me during the preseason games, me

441
00:19:39,920 –> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 2: on radio and Matt down on the sideline, and you

442
00:19:42,240 –> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 2: pay attention to the third and fourth quarters, please because

443
00:19:45,440 –> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 2: these are going to see those guys and you never know.

444
00:19:48,040 –> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 2: Ty Frey Vogel is one of those guys. Cornell Powell

445
00:19:51,040 –> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 2: played at Clemson back in or He’s been around here

446
00:19:53,560 –> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 2: for a while. Amer Smith Marsette was actually activated by

447
00:19:56,400 –> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 2: the Chiefs late in the year. Can play special teams,

448
00:19:58,720 –> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 2: was a good player at Iowa. We’ve even seen a

449
00:20:01,119 –> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 2: ty Scott siding out here. We saw him in the

450
00:20:02,960 –> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 2: spring and summer Missouri State Bear. And then Cocoa Crawford

451
00:20:07,280 –> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 2: who played at Michigan and before transferring to cow but

452
00:20:10,080 –> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 2: that kind of completes that wide receiver room. But overall

453
00:20:13,080 –> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 2: it is a work in progress. I’m just going to

454
00:20:15,440 –> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 2: tell you, though, buyer beware, you’re getting ready for your

455
00:20:17,359 –> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 2: fantasy draft. Take kell Sheer, Mahomes the others. Play reality

456
00:20:21,680 –> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 2: football with these guys because you never know who’s going

457
00:20:23,800 –> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 2: to be the hero week to week.

458
00:20:25,080 –> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 3: And I just can’t emphasize enough, like you said, watch

459
00:20:27,560 –> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 3: the third and fourth quarter of these preseason games for

460
00:20:30,160 –> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 3: a couple of reasons.

461
00:20:31,080 –> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 1: First of all, just the human spirit.

462
00:20:33,000 –> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 3: I mean, these players have dreamt their whole life of

463
00:20:36,000 –> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 3: playing on an NFL field and they’re going to have

464
00:20:38,280 –> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 3: an opportunity to do that here in just a few weeks.

465
00:20:41,760 –> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: And some of them are going to surprise us.

466
00:20:43,440 –> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 3: There’s going to be players that maybe they don’t make

467
00:20:45,240 –> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 3: the initial fifty three man roster, but they stick around

468
00:20:47,600 –> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 3: on the practice squad.

469
00:20:48,600 –> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: There goes your notes.

470
00:20:50,760 –> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 2: It’s going to be a gust of win in a storm.

471
00:20:53,080 –> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 3: But these players are going to stick around on the

472
00:20:54,480 –> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 3: practice squad and one of them will get be called

473
00:20:56,640 –> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 3: up probably in week eight or week nine, and they’re

474
00:20:58,600 –> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 3: going to make a play that helps the Chiefs win

475
00:21:01,080 –> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 3: a football game and one player that we’ve watched a

476
00:21:03,080 –> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 3: lot that kind of fits maybe into that realm is

477
00:21:05,160 –> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 3: Nico Remigio at a Fresno State. Had a really nice

478
00:21:08,760 –> 00:21:11,479
Speaker 3: senior year at Fresno State, seventy four receptions for eight

479
00:21:11,600 –> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty two yards, six touchdowns, also had two

480
00:21:14,840 –> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 3: punt return touchdowns. Slot receiver during his time in college.

481
00:21:18,840 –> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 3: You played at Cal as well as Fresno State, eighty

482
00:21:21,680 –> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 3: four percent of his snaps running the slot. But he

483
00:21:23,920 –> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 3: was really good during the initial part of training camp

484
00:21:27,000 –> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 3: that’s just quarterbacks and rookies. I think he was one

485
00:21:29,119 –> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 3: of the stars of that period. And he had a

486
00:21:31,119 –> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 3: great leaping catch just a few days ago during a

487
00:21:33,720 –> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 3: one on one period that made the rounds on social

488
00:21:36,440 –> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 3: media as well. So players like Nico, who maybe you

489
00:21:39,280 –> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 3: don’t know a whole lot about, they’re impressing here in

490
00:21:41,960 –> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 3: this training camp. They’re going to do their best here

491
00:21:43,960 –> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 3: in the preseason and show what they can do. And

492
00:21:45,800 –> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 3: even if they don’t make the team right away, remember

493
00:21:48,320 –> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 3: their names because at some point one of them will

494
00:21:50,240 –> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 3: make a play that helps the Chiefs win a football game.

495
00:21:52,080 –> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 2: I’m going to tell you Remigio, and you know I

496
00:21:54,000 –> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 2: loved him during the spring and summer is he is

497
00:21:57,920 –> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 2: an accomplished punt kick returner. So just he wears twenty

498
00:22:01,840 –> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 2: seven Dupligan number out here. Bet do not forgetting Nico Remigio.

499
00:22:05,720 –> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 2: Sorry I left him on that group ended at Fresno State,

500
00:22:08,800 –> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 2: started his career at Cal. He’s Matt McMullan. I want

501
00:22:11,960 –> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 2: to remind you that the our Defending the Kingdom podcast
