• Reggie explains the streamlined process for bidding on auction items online versus last year’s cumbersome call-in system. (06:05–08:46)

---

2. Tone Setting, Energy, and Inside Jokes (01:28–04:30)

• The hosts joke about prepping physically and mentally for the long radiothon day:
  • Seth teases about the need for honey and coffee for vocal stamina, referencing last year's exhaustion.
  • Reggie insists on "sheer power of will" over “performance enhancers.”
    Quote:
    "I pride myself on being like a sheer power will guy...that might fail me today." — Reggie (04:20)
• Banter about the radio show’s structure and managing listener energy through charity event segments:
  • Seth stresses keeping things fun and upbeat, not turning it into a "20-minute depressing interview." (02:22)

---

3. Auction Dinner Experiences & Drinking Banter (09:43–13:14)

• Seth jokes about being a "chameleon" at the auctioned dinners: willing to drink or be the designated sober guest per the winner's preference. Quote:
  "I curbed my drinking a long time ago...but this is one of those nights, if you so choose. I can be a teetotaler or I can be completely irresponsible. I leave it up to the guest." — Seth (09:43)
• Humorous hypothetical around controlling whether Seth or Sean drinks at the dinner.
  • Seth deadpans that Sean "can drink 12 beers and you wouldn't know the difference." (11:40)
  • Lighthearted riff on types of drunks, referencing friends who "turn the corner" emotionally, and a wild spontaneous joke calling Amelia Earhart a "hoe" (12:58).

---

4. Drunk Stories, Bar Dynamics & "Friend Group" Psychology (13:14–26:41)

• Payne shares stories from NFL bars, being recognized as a player, and managing attention.

• The hosts riff on "the guy who wants to fight" in every group, using real-life and sports analogies — relating it to players like Cortland Finnegan. Quote:
  "There are just some cats...they are just, they're trying to make the comment that allows physicality to come about." — Ron (17:14)

• Ron shares experiences from working in youth facilities, using negotiation (not force) to calm troubled kids — with memorable stories about “hot Cheetos and honey” (19:57, 20:39).

• Group agrees that habitual "instigators" or those who always need bailing-out eventually either get excluded or must change, linking to NFL discipline and locker room dynamics.

  Quote:
  "If you consistently put me in these situations, I'm not gonna fight with you... That's on you 100%." — Ron (29:03)

---

5. Player Analogy: Team Dynamics & Boundaries (30:25–34:45)

• The conversation uses linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair as an example:
  • Discuss his on-field aggressive play, suspension as a "wake-up call," and leadership expectations.
  • Relate this to the “friend group” analogy: some need a hard lesson before changing their behavior; others get left behind.

---

6. Auction Highlights (24:44–26:37)

• Discussion of a highly prized auction item: Andre Johnson autographed photo from the infamous fight with Cortland Finnegan.
  • Seth speculates Finnegan is the archetypal "friend who wants to fight."
  • Ron jokes about only supporting friends in fights if they aren't repeat troublemakers.

---

7. Houston Texans Talk: CJ Stroud Deep Dive (38:31–47:12)

• Transition into substantive Texans analysis, focusing on CJ Stroud’s "steps back" following his standout rookie season.

  • Ron poses: "What's the main reason he's different?" (39:46)
  • Seth’s rationale:
    • Absence of a reliable run game and/or pass protection, but notes Stroud succeeded under similar conditions as a rookie, suggesting defensive adaptations and lack of viable counters.
    • Defenses learned to "take away the deep shot," forcing short, low-yield options and stressing the offensive line.

  Quote:
  "I think all those people as a group en masse are looking at this year and saying, all right, look, the Texans, they did a lot of things to address their issues with the rushing attack. If CJ ends up playing on an offense that can actually run the ball this year, then we...gotta make a decision." — Seth (43:34)

  • The hosts riff on the pressure and distractions for second-year QBs (including a running joke about "the Amber Rose Effect"; 44:35).
  • Seth gives candid perspective on celebrity adjustments, especially for young, quick-rising players. (47:12)

---

8. Off-Field Temptations & Locker Room Culture (48:49–52:24)

• Seth recounts a story of an NFL lineman entangled with a "reputation-heavy" partner, highlighting the vulnerability of less-heralded players when fame and money arrive. Quote:
  “There’s a real critical period...you just hope the guy doesn’t propose to a stripper at 3AM or something.” — Seth (49:09)
• The story ends with a memorable commercial shoot disrupted by the aggressive intervention of a player's wife (51:13–52:24).

---

and Ron Radiothon benefiting the Houston Food Bank.

[C]

Here's Reggie Adatula and Ron Cutley.

[B]

Ah, here we go, baby. Year two. There are many of you just are listening at 6am and saying who the hell. Yes, who the hell. It's all right here. But we do have, we do have a familiar voice. Seth Payne is, is, is, is in the building with us.

[C]

So my right microphone. Got to get the right microphone. You guys are getting off to a splendid start.

[B]

There we go.

[D]

So I didn't know you had two microphones in there.

[C]

I got so many microphones. I'm like, I'm like a microphone hoarder. I've got, I've got microphones in the attic, in the basement, everywhere.

[B]

Yeah, why not, man?

[C]

Crawl space.

[B]

There's that familiar voice that we, that we at least want to give to you.

[D]

Honestly, that's the biggest reason Seth is here. I just don't want a jar to people at 6 in the morning.

[B]

Some people are sitting there thinking just two. And then they're like, is it 10 and it's like, what the. What the hell?

[D]

No,

[C]

I'm excited to be on with you. You guys did an amazing job last year raising money for the food bank. And I know you're hoping to blow last year's numbers out of the water. And our listeners were incredible with it too. So this is one of those rare charity things that people do on the radio which are actually enjoyable to listen to. You know, you guys aren't asking people to listen through 20 minutes of an interview with somebody who's going to depress you or something. We're just having fun and raising money along the way.

[D]

We might still do that to the people at some point. I feel like I just want to keep that possibility in my pocket if we want to bore you for a little bit.

[C]

You know what they. Back when, back when I was a kid, what they do, they raised. There was some comedy. They did some comedy shows and I can't even remember, they raised money for like hunger, world hunger. And they also did one for aids, I think. But they were kind of a big deal and they raised a lot of money because nobody felt like, they felt like, oh, I can go and I can support this cause, but also just not actually have to do anything other than be entertained. And I think that's what you guys do a good job of.

[B]

We appreciate that, man. And it started off with you a good luck. We did well last year and you were the good luck charm to kick it off for Seth. So we go.

[C]

I don't, I don't even remember it. That's how much fun and how easy it was.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. I remember it said, you guys, you

[C]

guys told me I did it. I'm like, all right, cool.

[B]

Yeah, I remember about 3:00 last year, boy, I think we had, we. We start hit a wall. We started. Reggie started running around finding honey and, and coffee or something. Right to the head.

[C]

25th mile of America.

[D]

I completely forgot last year I prepared so much better. I just rolled in like five minutes ago. I don't got no tea, I don't got no honey. Last year I was like, all right, this might be a wreck on my voice. Did not take any precautions this year.

[C]

Yeah, I tell you what you need to do. Maybe Reginald, just for this one day is just kick it up a notch. Be a, be a coffee guy, be a five hour energy guy.

[D]

No, I pride myself on being like a sheer power will guy. Like, I'm just like, I, I don't need performance enhancers. I'm just going to do this out of the strength of who I am. And that might fail me today. I'm excited.

[C]

I just. Hey, go look. Look. Special Forces operators are some of the toughest people on Earth, and they use a little. A little pick me up here and there.

[D]

Truly, I believe that I'm better than them.

[E]

That's how they.

[B]

Yeah. All right, let's. Let's get the particulars out. And Reggie's really good at this. This is the. The second. Second annual Reggie and Ron Radio Fon as we are trying to. To help feed Houston. Last year, I think we shocked them

[D]

and being the Houston Food Bank.

[B]

Right. Houston Food Bank. I don't know if you remember. You probably don't remember this either, Seth, since you just now remember doing it, but they had the. They had it set at 5,000. And I remember, I think we, we hit that before you walked out. Correct. In your hour. And I'm like, 5,000. So they were blown away. Right? And so we are. We. We've kind of set a precedent. And to me, this is. This just becomes bigger and bigger, and I think more people know about it. And we got. We got near 30,000 last year, and we want to blow that out of the water this year. I got a number in my head, Seth. I'll, I'll keep it to myself, but I got a number in my head that, that I want us to hit. And, and, and I'm, I'm. I'm confident that the people can hit it. But Reggie, give the particulars of. Of. Of where you can give what we have for you to be able. The auction items are. Are amazing right now, and we'll keep you updated on where we are in terms of donations and a number. But. But give people the particulars.

[D]

All right? So obviously, when it comes down to brass tacks, it's just. Can we raise money for the Houston Food Bank? And that is a very simple place to do it. If you got a cell phone, this, you pull it out and you text in or you type in radio THON26, no spaces, no underscores, nothing like that. Radiothon 26. And you send that to the number 71777. Again, that number is 71777. And if you do that, you'll get the link and you'll have the opportunity to go to that link and donate directly to the food bank. And please, I will say you want to do it that way because if you just go, look, we're happy if you donate to the food bank, period. However, in order for us to kind of calculate it within the, you know, the, the span of what we're doing here at the Reggie and Ron Radio Thon to be able to accurately represent what the Sports Radio 6 Fan List 610 Fan Listenership Base is capable of doing. You want to text Radio THON 26 to 71777. You can donate that way. But I like to say if you want to be a little selfish with your giving, which is my type of giving, you want to go on to sportsradio610.com hit that landing page. You'll see a big graphic for the Reggie and Ron Radio Thon. Go there and that'll get you to the auction site that we have. This is the new upgrade that we have this year as opposed to last year. Last year you had to call in, figure out what the bid was. No. Nice and easy. You can see all 17 auction items that we have this year on the auction site, which again you find by going to sportsradio610.com and then hitting that, hitting that big graphic. It'll send you to the right spot where we have dinners with each of the Sports Radio 610 shows. Obviously painted Pendergast, that'll be a dinner at Carrabba's. We want to thank them for hosting that. In the loop, myself, JLo, Figgy Fig will be having a dinner at Federal Grill. Appreciate them for supporting us with that. And then you guys with the drive, Ron, Clint and of course Team Mill, y' all will be out there at

[B]

Oak and Iron, baby.

[D]

Oak and Iron. That'll be where the dinner is. Appreciate for them for that and also double appreciate them because they are also hosting the area 4:45 dinner with Johnny and Creighton. And actually I forgot there is one more dinner that got added. And Seth, I don't know if you remember this. Yesterday on the program when we were cross talking, I was telling you that there is a, there is a particular dinner that you have to be careful about because it might blow y' all out the water. Yeah, it is this one shout out to Cormier's Kitchen who have a dinner for, you know, one person and the guest, the winner and the guest with Figgy Fig and B. Scott. But this is the thing that, that, you know, makes it go further is that in addition to that dinner, you also get what I believe is being described as a VIP football game day experience.

[B]

Okay?

[D]

A VIP football game day experience. Now if I had to look for days of the week where this experience would happen, I believe it's Thursday. It's a Thursday football experience. And I think that there might be like, you might be excited that someone is stampeding into town. Does that make sense? Are you getting where you get where I'm going? And so, yeah, I feel like that one is a dinner plus a game day experience. I think that that one is going to be. Go really well. So there's that there's memorabilia, all sorts of sign items. Go check that out. But we're hoping to really blow out the. The donations that we were able to amass last year this year with the second annual Reggie Ron Radio Thon.

[C]

I'm excited about this.

[B]

And it's up already. It's up already.

[D]

People are.

[B]

People are already making bids on these and shout out to, as you said, Cormier, that, that became a impromptu thing last year with. With Figgy and B. Scott. And they've come back and said, man, we're gonna do it again. So it's.

[C]

It's where. And then for the dinner with Sean and I just. So the listeners are, you know, if you're nervous about this or not, you know, you know, I haven't. I curbed my drinking a long time ago and I only drink in very sporadic, specific moments. And this is one of them, if you so choose. I can be a teetotaler on this dinner or I can. I can be completely irresponsible. I leave it up to the guests to either tell me whether they want me to be like a. Like a country pastor or frat boy. You know, just. I go with you guys. I'm going to be a chameleon when it comes to imbibing. I mean. Imbibing. Chameleon.

[B]

Yeah. Country pastor. That's what I want to. I want to see.

[D]

Does it come forward? Does it come with like, full accent? Are we. Are we getting expressions out of.

[B]

What is the country. What does the country pastor wear? Like, do you go. Do you come in? Are you in a tie?

[C]

I might wear. Yeah, I might wear something real. Really, really just really loud. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. Because it can be. It could be. You could go either way with a country pasture. I could be dressed like a backwoods hillbilly or I could be dressed like, you know, it's just like it's 1955. Yeah. And I'm stepping out of a. A car that's. I could be the type of country pastor that's driving a really way too expensive car for the donations we take in. If you want me to. I'LL take some of the money from the food bank and actually embezzle it over to my wardrobe.

[B]

Oh, yeah. Real, real country pastor. Yeah, country pastor.

[D]

I like what's happening here on the. The text line, which we always still have available for you. 7, 1, 3, 5 7, 2, 4, 6, 10. In fact, check in. Let us know how far you're hanging, how long you're hanging out with us and everything. But this from the 713 made me laugh because they said it'd be di. Diabolical to win, you know, the Sean and Seth dinner. But then tell Seth to drink, but stop Sean from drinking. Like, is that an option? Can we do that? Because I think that's hilarious to me.

[C]

No, Sean would handle it too well. That's the kind of guy you sit down and, like, I remember we were at West Palm beach last year for spring training, and, like, Sean's one of these guys who can drink 12 beers and you wouldn't know the difference at all.

[B]

So he hides his drunk.

[C]

He's the same guy. Yeah, yeah. Like, other than just being a little bit dumber is he's the same guy. I don't even know why he drinks. Because he says he's the same guy. With or without it.

[D]

Yeah. Because it's costly. Right. If you're not getting. Well, maybe he is getting that buzz behind it, as you. As you kind of alluded to. But if you're not getting that, I feel like Drake could cause too much for you to. For you to not have a real difference in who you are.

[B]

Yeah, that's dangerous, Seth, because, like, I listen. I listen. I'm not an angry drunk or I'm not someone that. That, you know, starts to, like, I got some friends, man, that get that get drunk. A couple, like, I know every year on New Year's, man, they're an emotional drunk, and, you know, they're gonna. They're gonna tell you how much they love you and all that. I don't get there, but I can. You can clearly tell when I've turned. As I call, turn the corner. Like, when. When you can see it in my face and hear it in my voice when I've turned the corner. That is a dangerous thing when you can't recognize when a person has turned the corner.

[C]

Right, Right. Yeah. That all of a sudden just some, like, innocent little comment is gonna ruin the evening. You said, what about Amelia Earhart? Let me tell you something about that hoe. Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

I'm gonna tell you this right now, Seth. You could have given me 85 chances to guess what Seth's about to say when it comes to some small comment and calling Amelia Earhart a hoe. I would have never. I would have never had. That way.

[C]

I would have never.

[B]

You could have given me a thousand. I would have never guessed. All right, Seth's gonna say Earhart, and the dismount's going to be that she's a hoe.

[D]

That's right.

[C]

Speaking of. Okay with drunk people and how they operate, I just. I had this experience a few weeks ago. I was. So you remember when you're in college and you're like, you're walking past a frat party or something, you're kind of like, these guys are pretty drunk. Like, I just. I really hope I don't get. Like, there's a. Just. Just don't. Don't nobody antagonize me or anything about this. I don't want to get into a whole thing. I'd forgotten about that feeling until I was walking. I was going for one of my early morning walks in a different part of town, and I walked past the cigar bar that was still, like, they were going at it. It was five in the morning, and there were still people out on the porches and everything. And it was, like, out on the deck and everything. And it was like a flashback to where you're like, just, all right, I just. Let me walk through here. It's probably the closest you ever feel like a woman walking down the street. Like, just please don't. Just please don't comment on my physical appearance or something. I just want to. I just want to continue on my walk. I can't get into a whole thing right now that is.

[D]

Do you think it's particular for you as a relatively larger gentleman where, like, bigger target, you know? I mean, like, if I was walking relative to you down that same street, do you think I would have that same. That same feeling?

[C]

I don't know. Maybe it's my own insecurities or something. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I always. I start playing things out in my head, and I'm like, all right, I got either. I got to have a role, have a witty comeback to something, or just go up and join them and start drinking it at five in the morning.

[B]

Yeah, I mean, I. I think. I think you could do both.

[C]

There's a little bit of, like, I hope I get recognized and somebody comes and gives me free stuff. Yeah, that's. There's always that. That's Something that happens. You know, when I was a football player, this is the first time that it was when I was a young player in the NFL, you know, in college, like where I went to school. It wasn't like it was a huge deal necessarily if you're a football player or anything, so you didn't get like, called out a lot or anything. But I remember just being in bars or clubs a couple times where you're like, you look across the room and there's a guy, like, just look like glaring at you, and you're like, ah, crap. What the hell is this all about? Like, this guy get a guy gonna start something or whatever. And more times than not, it usually is just somebody that's like, trying to figure out if you are who they think you are. And it gives the same look as somebody who sizing somebody up for a fight. So it was. So you have to kind of learn to be like, oh, okay, don't read the facial expression. This might actually be the nicest person on earth. They're just kind of. They're examining if I am who they think I am.

[B]

I never understand those people. Like, they're literally. And Seth, you've probably had to deal with it. I've talked to Clint about this before. Like, the guys that sit there and say, you know what, man? I want to mess with the biggest dude in here.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, I just like. And I mean, it's hard for me to even relate to people because. And there's, there's. There's generally like one in friend groups probably, and maybe they don't act out as much, but just guys who want to fight.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, who want to go out and, and want to kind of push stuff. And want to kind of push stuff. Like, I remember when I, when I worked my previous life before sports radio, when I worked at. With at risk youth and we used to. There would be like staff assists where, hey, man, you know, a kid has, has just need some assistance to, to get himself together or he has been a little. He's been a little. He's. He's kind of lost himself.

[C]

Right.

[B]

We got. And we got to calm him down. And really what we want to do is talk. We want to talk and hey, let's, let's get him in. There are some cats that would show up and they're, they are just, they're trying to make the comment that allows physicality to come about.

[C]

Like, there's. Yeah. So you're like, you're starting froth from a whole different. You're like you work with Moses.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Like with a lot of kids, they're almost like they're just. Either they feel like they, they have to act a certain way or whatever or they just don't know how to handle certain situations. But then there's some kids that's just that, that's who they are. Like they're. That's what they're. That's what they're aching for. Right?

[B]

[D]

Some people, some people are aggressive energy first. Yeah.

[B]

Some people want it. They were ready for it there. I mean, there used to be. It would be set. They would be. It would come across the loudspeaker inside of the whole building. Staff assist, unit two. Staff assist. There were people. There were guys that lived for that call.

[C]

And I'm just like, whoa, like, like, calm down, guys. Calm down. The. Just the people who are into it, who are into just the physical.

[C]

So, you know, you were working with kids who were like in. Was that just an after school program or something? Like it was a facility.

[B]

It was a facility. So yeah, we had like, like hospital side and then we had like a long term stay side and oh yeah, you know, we had like some kids

[C]

with some serious, serious.

[B]

I promise you. There was this. There was this kid, he was 16 and he. Well, I called him CC Sabathia. He came in and he like old CC, like Cleveland CC. Yeah, not the CC that's lost his weight. Like he looked like CC Sabathia. And I'm just like, I'm like, man, we ain't gonna be able to do nothing with this guy if.

[D]

If it goes to that place and

[B]

it went to that place once and I, and I negotiated with hot Cheetos and, and, and, and graham crackers and peanut butter.

[D]

How much of the negotiation was actually verbal? How much of the negotiation was just you presenting these items as if, like,

[B]

I mean, listen, like, we, we. Yeah, we sat down and this dude, this kid was 300 plus. We're not lifted. And carrying him to the, to the timeout room. And I told him, I said, here, look, man, if you go in there, I got a, I got a bag of hot, hot Cheetos. I got some, some, some graham crackers and peanut butter. I said, man, I'll go put it in that timeout room and it's, it's all yours. He said, you got any honey?

[D]

He's a negotiator.

[C]

I said, go ahead, man, check the honey budget. Hold on a second.

[D]

We will find a way to get. If we avoid the other side of

[B]

this, I'll sit here all damn day with your ass. I'll sit here till 4 o', clock, till I get off, because I am not that. Like, there ain't no reason to do this because I'm about to hurt my back. I'm about to do something to try to get this cat.

[D]

Yeah, there's no, there's no accounting for this. In your typical responsibilities like this over and above, if you go to that place.

[B]

Yeah, that's just some silly.

[C]

That's kind of cool. Yeah, you literally put some honey on it. And that was the whole deal. That was like in your situation where you're the negotiator there, that was like when the, like when the terrorists asked for a helicopter to Cuba or whatever, you're like, yep, yeah, we can do that. We can arrange that. We can get some honey for you.

[D]

And then also while we have that going, there is our auction that has been up since yesterday, but it's going and It'll close at 5:30 today. I'm going to try and highlight a particular item periodically so that you know what's happening. There is already a bid on one of these, one of the really probably the coolest items that we have on there, which is a autographed Andre Johnson, Houston Texans whooping Courtland Finnegan's ass.

[C]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, it is, it

[D]

is, it is beautiful.

[B]

Tried to get Cortland to sign that still.

[C]

I bet he, I bet Cortland Finnegan would, would actually lean into that, you know? Yeah. You know, sometimes, like, I think Bill Buckner, like, he's done some charitable things with his, his botching, his bad play and all that. Yeah. Like you like it when people. And it's. I, I would imagine Cortland Finnegan, actually, I've heard him talk about that before. He, he acts like, yeah, exactly what I wanted to happen happen, which is I got Andre Johnson ejected, which is bogus because the game was already won. Andre specifically waited until the game was in hand before he went back in to whoop up on Courtland Finnegan.

[B]

That was nothing that anybody would have wanted to have happen. If you're Courtland Finnegan, there's no, there's no plan to have got your ass embarrassed and kicked like that. No way. Because that's, that's good for, for many people, that's the first thing that people think about when they see you.

[C]

We were talking about that, you know, in the last segment. The guy that, the guy in your friend group that's always just looking for a fight or looking to get agitated. Cortland Finnegan was that guy. Probably. Cortland Finnegan would be the kind of guy that would go out and just the smallest guy in the group that feels kind of brave because he's with. He's got a bunch of his friends are MMA experts or something, and none of them want to fight, but he goes out and he's like, oh, I can start anything I want with anybody. And all his friends have to be like, all right, dude, just settle the hell down. Okay?

[D]

That's the guy that you just got to let get his ass whooped by himself. Right.

[B]

He's.

[D]

He's depending on. I've got my big guys behind me. And this is why I often say, and people give me hell about this. I'm not the friend that immediately jumps into the fight just because that's my homeboy and we'll figure it out. I kind of if you earned it, I want you to get the. The benefits and the results of that ass whooping that you earned.

[C]

You know, that happened to me one of the. Like, the. This might have been the last actual fight I ever got into. We. Me and a couple of my friends were walking up to a fraternity party and. And this kid was just acting like an obnoxious jerk and started saying something to one of my friends or whatever, and. And he kept. This kid was like, oh, yeah, well, let's go back inside and see what you want to say about it. Like, what the hell? You know, I'm not going to go into your fraternity and get in a fight with you. So he's obviously a brother in this fraternity, but it got to the point where he just, like, he. He spit in my face or he spit in my friend's face. And. And I had. I kind of just took care of him, but without trying to really injure him or anything. And. And I felt bad for the kid because after I subdued him for a while and I just, you know, I worked him over a little bit, he goes, like, running back into his fraternity to try to rally up a bunch of guys to come out and take care of us. And they go inside. He goes inside and they're like, wait, who's this guy? And they looked out and it's me. And they're like, oh, no, that's Seth. No, we like him better than you. You're not. You don't get. You don't get to act however you want with some kind of backstop of. All my fraternity brothers are gonna. Are gonna come to my rescue whenever I'm acting like a jackass.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. I think there's got to be a rule. Like, you. Like, for me, man, I'm. I generally am going to jump. Probably jump in and figure out, like, what happened later, but almost on most things now, if you are somebody who just puts me in this situation all the time.

[D]

Exactly.

[B]

Like Phil that was.

[D]

There's a name.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, Phil. We used to just call him Phil does coke. What? Yeah. Yeah.

[D]

That's not a catchy nickname.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. One of our friends was like, hey, man, you just gotta, like, you can't. You can't let Phil get to you. I mean, Phil does coke.

[C]

So, I mean, that's actually a really good. It's not catchy except that it's perfect. Can't get right. Can't get right's not all that great a nickname, except that it's just so perfect.

[D]

Except it is perfect.

[C]

Yeah, you can't get right.

[B]

Yeah, that's what he said. He said, man, you can't worry about that dude. I mean, Phil, man, Phil, he actually does coke. But, but he would put, like, if you consistently put me in these situations, I'm not, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna run with it. But like most of the times, like, yeah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna ride with you, but you go spit in somebody's face and I, I see you done this. Like, I'm gonna go ahead. Hey, man, that's on you 100%. Like, I, like I, I remember Clint, he'll join us a little bit later. Talked about, he's gotten into fights because, because people in bars is something to try to be like hard asses about. The, you know, the fumble thing when he played Tennessee. Yeah, like if, if you're one of my dudes that you like and you want to go up and do that, like, I mean, you're on your own. Like, not like, I'm not going to let you just get your ass whooped. I'm going to try to like break it up instead of jumping in to fight. Like, I'm going to probably try to like, try to not let you just get the hell beat out of you. Like, that's, that's, that, that's more. Hey, man, listen. Hey, bro, you all, you in the right here, man. He's, he's dumb as hell, man. Like, let me get him out of here. Because I don't, I mean, if you my dude, I don't want you to just, just get messed up. But, But I ain't going to fight with you.

[C]

Well, those guys, this thing about those guys, sometimes you have to sit down and tell them, you know, like, hey, maybe you're in the wrong friend group, man. Because I feel like if you were really about it.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

You wouldn't be hanging out with people who are restraining you all the time. So I don't know, you got to make a decision for yourself. Are you, are you bout it or are you just kind of fraudulent, you know, knowing that you're never going to get in any real trouble?

[D]

Seth, is this a proverbial bring your playbook? Is that what you're doing right there? You know, I mean, for the friend group is, hey, man, you don't put us into too many circumstances. You've blown too many coverages. Bring your playbook.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a good, that's a good way to put it. I think that's where like, so if you look at like Aziz Elshire, Aziz Elshire had his share of run ins, but it wasn't, I don't like, he was never a point where it felt, it always felt like he was the guy down that defense that was just taking it a little bit too far.

[B]

He's on the edge of it, man. He's on the edge of like, damn, man, we'd had to fight with your ass too many times, but he didn't have it.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Last year, you know, because that was

[C]

the thing leading up to the whole Trevor Lawrence thing. Remember that whole year there was, there was the incident in the Chicago game. There was even the week before in the Titans game. Remember, he hit somebody late and it was really should have been a flag, but he got away with it.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Last year, this past season, I don't think we really had any of those razor thin moments, did we?

[B]

No, he cleaned it up. I mean, he had, he had to focus on be able to cover in the middle of the field. That seemed to take over his focus after what happened against Travis Kelsey to end his season a year before. Yeah, we didn't see, we didn't see any extra, any extra stuff last year. And I say what you say about Aziz, I think at the very least he's on the edge. Between the edge and dirty. He's at the, at the very least. But I do think he takes the leadership stuff serious.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

And I think, I think that probably was a big wake up for him to be suspended all of those games late into the season because what, what was he suspended, bro. The last four games of that year or something like that. And knowing he probably put his team in a tough spot. And I'm, I'm guessing that probably was something that Aziz was like, hey, I got to clean that up.

[C]

Like, I can't leave. Yeah. The conversation that d' Ameco had with him even is like, okay, you're like, you gotta. We're looking at you as a leader in so many ways. You got to be the leader and just knowing exactly how far up to the line you can go before you push it over and that while at the same time supporting him and everything. Because that's the Trevor Lawrence hit. It was. Unfortunately it all came to a head with that and that was the one actually that I give him the biggest excuse for because I thought Trevor Lawrence slid late. And it's just like in the, like so in the, the bang bang notion, you know, the bang bang nature of that hit, like I would have given Him a pass with for that over a lot of the other stuff that he gotten in trouble before. But like, just that was the maybe wake up moment. We realized, okay, like, I can't if I'm the guy who's constantly pushing the boundary, that, yeah, I'm gonna get hosed in moments like this, obviously.

[B]

And then it became unhinged afterwards and nobody could get a hold of him. D' Ameco had to try to get him to walk.

[C]

You know what, though, about that? I was rewatching this the other day because I tend to do it like twice a week. Brandon Sherf, the Jaguars linebacker, Jaguars offensive lineman, he was looking for him. He was looking for him. Like, people kept showing that clip of. Look at this, he's still going after Jaguars players. That was down on the 10 yard line in the play. It happened at midfield. So, you know, Brandon Scherf was down there antagonizing Aziz.

[D]

That.

[C]

That wasn't, that wasn't where it really went off the rails. Yes, Aziz should have just walked through, etc. Etc. But like the, the Jaguar, Brandon Sherf and some of the Jaguars who continue to antagonize them after being unable to protect their quarterback just a few minutes before, I feel like they got a, they got a pass in that situation that was bogus.

[B]

I just remember d', Amico, he had to take his headset off and walk, and walk over and walk him out and help to get him off the field. So. Yeah, but I, but I do think that that was probably, as you said, a huge wake up call of like, hey, I, like, I can't take this to a point where I'm missing games and like, not just like a lot of games.

[D]

Right?

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

And I think similarly, that's why the dude in your friend group who does too much, he needs the ass whooping. Like, you get to the point where this is, this is an ass whooping that is too strong for me to have to, you know, continually sustain. And now I might need to change my, you know, my act in the same way that you're saying that Aziz got to this point where he looks and it's not worth me not being there for my team, especially with how important I am.

[B]

Yeah, but like, but like, I think Sif said I would just, I would just exit. Somebody's exiting the friend group. Or like what I did was like, I had made a decision. I'm just in a full circle. I'm just not going out with Phil no more. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I just, I just stopped Is Phil going? I mean I'm a. I'm gonna keep it. I'm gonna keep it moving the other way. Thankfully Aziz isn't feel like no.

[D]

These is bringing a lot Phil is.

[B]

Is. Is Corland Finnegan maybe. No, Phil was much more vontez perfect. Oh, gosh. What's. What's crazy, dude. Steelers end up getting comparison. No the receiver Antonio Bill's Antonio Brown. Like, you just got. Like, you got to stop going out with Antonio Brown. Like, I'm not. I'm not like here, man. You go get your ass. Yeah.

[C]

There's no talking sense.

[B]

No, it's not, man. I'm. I'm not on you, Antonio. All right, as we continue through. Remember, please as. As we need you as much as we did last year. We need you this year.

Texans have an actual rushing attack this year, even like a mediocre rushing attack. And then CJ sucks. That's when everybody's going to turn, you know, or even if he's average, like that's when they're going to turn on.

[D]

This is my favorite thing.

[B]

Here it is right there.

[D]

I love that we just came in mid CJ Stroud take for for Seth to the program.

[B]

You can go to the auction page and bid on 17 different items there. But I I did want to get it. I did have a a conversation point with CJ Stroud as you as you as you got going there.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And I and I'm curious and people can jump in if you're listening on a text line. I see Champ Slice and Company over there on YouTube and Twitch as well. I just everybody understands and I may just periodically ask people this throughout the day. Everybody I think will understand and agree that that CJ's obviously taken some steps back step steps back is is different from obviously year one and you guys have watched every one of the games and have covered him. If you just had to give one reason like the at least the main reason. What do you think is the main reason, Seth? That he is different? Like if you got to get one, obviously it's not just one but one main main reason that you look and say that's probably it.

[C]

I think honestly they're boy, it's that's the hard part is that because it always comes back to a couple of the same Things either the offensive line or the complete and total lack of a consistent rushing attack.

[B]

But it's so weird though. He had, that was exactly what happened year one though, right?

[C]

What's that?

[B]

His best year, he didn't. He had an inconsistent rushing attack or non existent.

[C]

Right.

[B]

And the offensive line, I mean, he had to beat the Steelers with Austin Deculas as the left tackle one.

[C]

So this is, I think, some of the things that happen with a rookie quarterback. It's funny that like, you'd think that defenses would be quicker to adjust to things, but they aren't. In the middle of the first season, rookie quarterbacks just kind of get treated like rookie quarterbacks and I think there's a certain amount of hubris that goes into it where teams feel like, well, yeah, but he's not going to be able to, he's not going to be able to do that against us. And we're just going to, we're going to wait for this rookie quarterback to screw up. But you start to build a book on how you can attack them, what they like to do, and, and you start. And you saw that in year two and year three, they did a lot of things to take away defense, did a lot of things to take away the deep shot, and then it leaves the offense with not that many solutions for what you can do underneath. So if you're, if you're, if you're seeing a lot of these two high safety shell coverages, whether Cover 2, Cover 4, Cover 6, etc. They're really good at taking away the deep ball if, as long as, you know, as long as their pass rush gets there and also covering up all the underneath stuff. So a lot of quick options, those quick outs that you would see to Nico Collins and Tank Dell in that first year, they can take away a lot of that, but they're going to be weaker versus the run or if their pass rush doesn't get home, then they might be susceptible to the deep ball. Largely, defenses over the last couple years have been able to stop the run without having to think too much about it. And they haven't had to worry too much about the deep ball because the pass rush is going to get there eventually. So if you, whether you call it an excuse or an explanation, I think it's, it's very much part of the reality of what CJ's had to work with. So if you like, if we take this, take any quarterback in the league and say, all right, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, C.J. stroud, Desean Watson, whomever it might be. If you've got. If you give those guys an offense that just cannot run the ball, even when the defense is inviting you to run the ball, will they be better quarterbacks? If all of a sudden you change that one variable? Like, if you just all of a sudden say, all right, all right, Tom Brady, you guys are 31st in EPA rushing, and all of a sudden we give you an offense that can actually run the ball at an average rate. Tom Brady's going to be a better quarterback. So I think that's the simplest thing now, to take CJ above and beyond. And okay, when he does have that good rushing attack, what does he look like? That's where I think a lot of it. I think where I was talking about it before I realized I was on air. What I see a lot of the people out there who watch a lot of film from around the league and guys who have kind of been holding their CJ Stroud opinions in reserve and just. They've been. They've been hesitant to jump in and say anything conclusive about him. I think all those people as a group en masse are looking at this year and saying, all right, look, the Texans, they did a lot of things to address their issues with the rushing attack. If CJ Ends up playing on an offense that can actually run the ball this year, then we. Then we got to make a decision of like, okay, wait a second. He was still mediocre despite that, then maybe he is what he is. But if he has that rushing attack and things look a lot different, then, yeah, that. That explanation makes sense.

[D]

That's. I mean, you're really good at this, Seth. I don't know if anybody's told you that, because that was my thought.

[C]

Making excuses.

[B]

Well, no, your thoughts, not what the text line just said. The Amber Rose effect. That is that

[D]

those are the same thing. Defenses. You know, Patrick Mahomes in him and the C. And the Amber Rose.

[B]

I will stand. I know. I want. I want you to get to your serious point. I will stand by my belief. That is not the first time those two got into a vehicle together. I don't care what. What they say.

[D]

What is this? What is this? What does this come from for you?

[B]

I just. The look that both of them had just got into the car too easy. Like they have gotten into a vehicle together. I will listen. I may be dead wrong, but my eyes say that's not the first time that those two have got into a car together.

[C]

It was the first time he would have opened the Door for. Right, that's right.

[B]

Like, it's just like, like they look like. That's the first thing that I said when I saw that. I said, they've done this. They've gotten to cars before. That's not the first time.

[C]

Like, though, if you think about CJ and like the fact that he wasn't one of the big time recruits coming out in college, he had to buy this time at Ohio State before he became the quarterback. And then when he got into the league, all of a sudden it was just this deluge of attention and opportunities. I mean, it's, it's kind of cliche, but that's, that's what guys go through when all of a sudden they're thrust into the limelight like that. It's, there's, there's a, there's an adjustment period where guys have to realize, like, okay, what are my priorities? What do I actually. What can I. And can I not do? Um, and I think, yeah, maybe on the, on the gray side of things and wherever CJ may have gotten stagnant in his second year, I think it's fair to wonder if, yeah, a lot of that just being a, being a bonafide celebrity for the first time in his life was, was part of the adjustment period as well.

[D]

I mean, he did seem to kind of allude to some of that recently talking about how, you know, I don't remember exactly what the terms that he used were, but the general sentiment was, you know, not allowing the outside to get you too high or too low. That he's like really been keeping to his circle. That feels like that speaks to what you're talking about there, like recognizing that because you would understand he's gone through some level of scrutiny playing at Ohio State University. But also there is the. It got higher than we probably could have imagined after that rookie year where even he is talking about himself in top five circles. And then it hits. And then it hits back the other way. Really low. And there's real, there's real like crests and troughs within that. In fact, I'm interested for you, Seth, for the very particular player that you were. Did you get any feeling of that when you were playing? Like the feeling of the extreme highs and lows of that high level publicity? It was more.

[C]

I mean, it was cool. Well, that's where sometimes, sometimes the best thing for a rookie is to go to a smaller market team like the Jaguars, you know, and it's kind of. It feels more like you're a. When you're In Jacksonville and people know who you are, it feels more like you're a big time, like, high school football player. There's more of like a, like a neighborhood vibe to a lot of the places. And I'm saying that in a good way. I'm not bagging on Jacksonville or anything. It's just not, it's, it's different than I think it is if you go to a huge city or God forbid, Dallas, because it just, the, the, the, the intensity of it is just that much different. And the things that you could, the kind of trouble you could get into is different in places like that. Yeah, I think there's. For me, though, definitely, because I'd never been at a big time football school or anything, and it wasn't like I was a big star or anything that you do. You kind of go through this phase, or at least I did, where you kind of got to remind yourself not to. You got to remember who you are, you know, and that you just, you're, you're given all this. It's like, it's like getting, you know, financially rich for the first time. You realize there's a whole bunch of different things I got to say no to. There's a lot of, There's a lot of people I got to avoid or realize that they don't have my best interest in mind. And it's a lot. And some guys, some guys, it's just some guys aren't enticed by it, so it's not a big deal. Other guys maybe are a little enticed by. And yet Reginald, you pointed out, CJ's brought it up himself a couple times about, you know, what did he say last year? He needed to get back. You need to get back with the Lord or something. Or like he just felt like he had strayed a little bit. And I don't know, like, with some guys that might mean, you know, he just, he.

[B]

Amber.

[C]

Yeah, I mean, so it can be extreme or it can be a little bit of. Oh, yeah, I probably. I missed Bible study two weeks in a row or something. The biggest guys you have to worry about, though, offensive linemen. Because offensive linemen a lot of times, you know, go through life the, they're not just getting a whole bunch of adulation and everything.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And sometimes they might not be, you know, they're not the first guy that a group of women is going to look at and say, like, oh, that's the, that's the guy I want right there. That big old sloppy dude. And all of a Sudden they get into the NFL and they got some cash in their pocket and they're a little bit of a target and maybe they're dressing nicer and everything. And there's like a real critical period there where you got to. You just hope the guy doesn't propose to a stripper at 3:00am or something. Yeah, it's. You got to. Those guys are very vulnerable. If they're not. If they're not careful.

[B]

Oh, they're there. There's somebody out there. A cast of young ladies out there on the hunt.

[C]

We had a guy one year that, man, we knew this, this, this woman that he was dating had had a reputation. She was very popular with a lot of guys on the team. And all of a sudden he's dating her. And this is an offensive lineman. He's going. And he's wearing like Louis Vuitton this. And just going shopping on his off day and everything. And, man, that marriage lasted about two and a half years, which coincided with his football career, actually. It's amazing like, that he was done playing football and they were divorced within like three months.

[B]

Damn. They have any kids? She got him.

[C]

I said, no, no, no. She's more calculating than that.

[D]

You say she might have snuck out. That might have been the, the plan.

[C]

I, I think that probably. I think she probably set her sights on somebody higher. I think her, like, she probably told him she was trying real hard to get pregnant, but was. Was on birth control or something.

[B]

Yeah, she probably like, hey, man, you got. You get two years to make this Pro Bowl.

[D]

Wonder how. Wonder if it was that explicit, like the prenup involved, you know, and all. The Pro bowl kicker as well, like.

[B]

I'm just saying. I'm just telling you. I look over there at Alan Fanuca.

[D]

He's.

[B]

He's. He may, he may be my next victim. You got.

[C]

No, you know what? No, but this is how weird that whole situation was. So I had. I was doing a commercial for an eye doctor, somebody who, you know, somebody who works on people's ophthalmologists.

[D]

There we go.

[C]

But it was for eye surgery. It was like for Lasik. And so he gave my wife free Lasik surgery to, you know, as part of the deal and everything. And this other guy was, was part of his ad campaign. So we're just going to show up at the ophthalmologist's office and do this commercial. And they had it all set up. We showed up and with, you know, they had all the film crew there and everything in this, this other Player's wife shows up and she's got, like, her ideas written out on poster boards

[D]

and everything coming through.

[C]

And she dressed her husband in a full uniform, like with eye black and everything. And she's telling the film crew, this is what we're gonna do. It was the weirdest thing I've ever seen. And so uncomfortable, you know, like in. She's in the film crew. You can see them all looking at each other like, what the. What the hell's going on? But her force of personality was so strong that we just. We ended up like, doing these two completely different commercials than what they had planned to do in the two hours we had allotted. That.

[D]

Which one was better?

[C]

Oh, no, hers was awful.

[D]

Okay. Actually.

[B]

Good.

[C]
