In 2020, a group of young women found themselves in an AI fueled nightmare. Someone was posting photos. It was just me naked. Well, not me, but me with someone else's body part.

Dip, pump, dip, pump, dip, pump, dip, pump. Draft. It's draft time. It's draft. Oh, oh, oh. Friday night is a football Friday. Football Friday. Sock em, do it, catch it, spike it. You can feel it. It is Friday, Friday. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Come on man. It is a football Friday here and we are talking. Hold on. Just give me a second, right? Give me a sec. I'll show you in a minute. No, she ain't going anywhere. You holding out. All right. So it is a football Friday here. We talked about the Aaron Rodgers sit down with Pat McAfee starring AJ Hawk and just sort of airing out the New York jets and the clown organization that is the New York Jets. Earlier in the show, also heard in the sit down with Pat McAfee was Aaron Rodgers discussing what the future could look like. Obviously there's been rumblings about the Steelers. He even pointed to that, that he went to Pittsburgh. He drove a Chevy Malibu that he got from a rental car spot from from another airport to drive to the facility. He talked about his relationship with Kevin OConnell. They've been friends for a long time. All of that was being had. He talked about Brian Dabal said he's got a beautiful football mind. All of that being said but this managers discussing where he's at on his career and what his thoughts are on the future. You know, I'm in a different phase of my life. I'm 41 years old. I'm in a serious relationship off the field stuff going on that requires my attention. You know to make a commitment to a team is a big thing. Whether you're a first year player or a 20 year vet. I've been straight up with these teams from the start about where I was at, you know, starting with the money thing. You know, I told every single one of the teams I talked to ain't about the money. I play for 10M's but, but also the conversation about where I was at in my personal life, the stuff I'm dealing with off the field, in my inner circle, that, that has to take my attention right now. And so I wasn't, you know, stringing anybody along, I wasn't holding anybody hostage. I was honest from the jump about where I was at mentally and some of the constraints that I have in my life right now that have to warrant my attention. So, yeah, you know, I'm open to anything and attached to nothing. So. So yeah, retirement still could be, could be a possibility, but right now has been and has been and will continue to be in my personal life. So translation is going to be a little while, going to be a little while before we, we get an answer. It seems like from Rogers. I think one of the things that this is a dirty truth of the NFL is the NFL and the teams and the organizations, they want you to be desperate. They want the only thing you care about to be football. And look, I don't, I don't have a problem with it. That's the business that they're in. You know, it's cutthroat, it's winning and losing and they want their players to live, eat, sleep, breathe, everything football. And I understand a lot of fans out there too would say, well, that's how they should be considering that's your profession, it's your livelihood, you're getting paid handsomely to do so. But there's another element to things. When You've played for 20 years and I think the writing's on the wall for Aaron Rodgers at this point, outside of getting another super bowl, he's going to be a first ballot hall of Famer. He's accomplished already a ton in this league. And it's not the same. I'll call it desperation. Maybe there's not even the same motivation. When he was in his first few years and he was trying to replace a Hall of Famer, step in to the shoes left behind a Hall of Famer and Brett Favre, or win that first super bowl or get that first MVP or, or even prove the Green Bay packers wrong after they draft Jordan Love in winning back to back MVPs, it just doesn't feel like there's the Same desperation or motivation as he once had. And that to many teams, is ridiculously unattractive, and it bothers them. And I think the only reason the Pittsburgh Steelers are entertaining this is in part the relationship that Mike Tomlin has with Aaron Rodgers, but also their desperation to get a quarterback, because they went through one of the guys that was a free agent and Russell Wills, and he was already there. Another guy who ended up going to the New York jets, the other New York team. So they already had that. And outside of if this falls through, maybe Kirk Cousins trying to make a trade for him, they're not really in a great spot to draft one. They're probably gonna have to use draft capital to trade up or hope someone falls to them. And then you're relying on a rookie. So when you really look at the landscape for Aaron Rodgers and Pittsburgh really being the only suitor, at least at this moment, maybe, maybe Minnesota sneaks back into it, right, with how that was talked about in the past months. But you hear this and you just go, that is part of the reason why he's a bit polarizing to a lot of teams out there, because it's not everything for him anymore. He's got a personal life, he has an inner circle, people he cares about. That at this point in time during the year is more important to him than maybe football. And I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I'm not saying that's a good thing either. It's just how he chooses to see it at this point in time in his career, in his life. When I chose love, I, I, no, I ain't gonna go there. I ain't even gonna go there. I'm not even gonna go there. You know what, though? He kind of sounds like Nick Cage, doesn't he? Like, I started hearing, like, I started having memories of Con Air when he was writing, like, letters to. To his. It was it his daughter. That movie sucked. He was going to come see his daughter and stuff like that. He kind of sounds like Nick Cage reading the. The letters to his daughter. You know what, What I took from that was he's a calculated dude, very calculated. And I think he takes tremendous pride and being wired the way that he is. And why shouldn't he? Him throwing out a figure. Did y'all find that to be a tad bit peculiar? 10m's. I feel like he's talking directly to somebody, and I don't think it's the Pittsburgh Steelers, and I don't think. And I. And that could be. I've been trying to figure out why he hasn't signed with the Steelers yet. Why you at the meeting if you walked away from the meeting feeling good about the meeting? Why don't you just sign with the team and get it going? If you don't want to be around and you want to be with your family and. And deal with your personal stuff and all that, just let them know that coming into it, that that's what you want to do and. But I'm assigned here with y'all, and we're gonna make this thing work. Why not do it that way? I think there's something more to it. I. I'm starting to believe. I don't think he wants to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers. For one, I think that may be a less. Maybe like a last decision, last made decision for one. But for two, I think he's just too calculated to have just, you know, just lobbed out there what he. The amount of money he would play for. I think he's talking directly to somebody, and I don't know if that's the Minnesota Vikings. I don't. I don't pretend to know who that's being directed at, but I, in my estimation, hearing someone as calculated and as. As well spoken as he is and stays in character, as I mentioned earlier on the show, he lobbed that out there to somebody that was put out there intentionally that had something connected to it. And I just wonder, is it Minnesota or who is it? Who is it? Yeah, the 10ms, I. I don't know. Like, I didn't even know that was a term for a million. It just seemed like it was kind of crowbarred in there. You know what I mean? Like, let me just let it be made known to you in particular. I'll do it for 10ms. It's not about the money. It kind of comes across to me like, maybe it's Minnesota he's talking to, but maybe there's a team out there that could use him that he would want to play for and he doesn't want it to turn into. We're not going to talk to you because of the money aspect of it. Maybe that's what he. I don't know what he was going for, but that was directed directly at somebody. Do you think that if the options were better, he would have already made his decision? Yes, I kind of think if Minnesota wanted him. He's signed with Minnesota right now. Agreed. Agreed. So, like, that he's got a spot right now on Lake Minnetonka. He's probably, you know, getting the, the dock all set up, getting the boat all set up, maybe opening up the pool too there. Ah, probably already has the spa hot tub going, but yeah, I would say. And he's getting the grill ready, you know, not trying to let the, the rain ruin the rhubarb, as they'd say up there. Good call on that. So. So this is really an indictment of the Steelers. Yeah. Q. Yeah, he sounds like him too. He don't just look like him, he sounds like him. Sheesh. It's crazy. Good. Go ahead, John. Well, I mean, but isn't this sort of an indictment on the Steelers situation that it's not good? I don't think it's a positive glowing effect that comes off of what the Pittsburgh Steelers represent right now that, that if you're an organization that players want to be a part of and they are clamoring to come be a part of what it is that you got going on. I don't think it's handled this way. I mean, we made the, we made the comp to, you know, you're at a bar, there's that one that's ready and willing at 10pm and then they're still there at 13145 and they're doing last call and you're like, all right, fine. That's crazy. Like, and it's a stealing. Yeah. Like to be that, to like. And that person at the bar, they know they're the bottle caps person. Okay. I guess, you know, that's why you do stuff like, you know, you, you make a mess of a person's hotel room or their, their home or, you know, you, you do some stuff like that happens in the 40 year old virgin or whatever it may be, you know, you are the bottle cap choice. You are not, you're not the sober. You're not, you're not the sober choice. You're looking through bottle caps. Should we have Lee actually weighing on this if we're talking about, you know, drunk and sober? Dang. Lee knows he's the bottle caps guy. Lee, you do know if you get a good looking person at the bar and it's at the end of the night, it was because you were the only choice that was left. Yeah. I don't complain about that. I'll take it. They gotta know, really? Why? Why they gotta know because you're still gonna get the same results. Yeah. But you just don't have to take it as far as you would with the person they really liked. Maybe they get enchanted with Lee's you know, his eyes or his. His overall general aura around him. Agree. He's got that magnetic personality. You had to be good enough to be an option. Keep that in mind. You got to be good enough to be an option. You just aren't as good as the first or however many options there are in between the first option to you. And you got to be okay with accepting that. I've been that guy before. I've been that guy before. My. Some of my closest friends are pretty mother lovers. They are. I ain't as pretty as them, but one thing that you find out when you're not the prettiest dude in your crew is that they attract a lot of pretty people. And y'all can't have him. Yeah, that's right. You get some leftovers. Come on. Oh, yeah. Come on over. Hey, why do you think pigeons hang out underneath a table at a park? Cause they can't eat. Hey, you can only eat so much. Something's dropping something. And I'ma get it. One of them crumbs is going to be free with my name on it. You just got to be okay with it. By the way, we're using these comps for a first ballot hall of Fame quarterback at the Steelers, like one of the greatest organizations in sports. That's crazy. And also, you keep going back to the Nick Cage thing, which they have an eerie similarity between the two. Crazy. Kind of crazy. What's he up to? Is he doing a movie still? Lee? Yeah, he's got a movie coming out called Surfers, I believe. That looks awesome. You notice I didn't say. Is he doing good movies? Nick Cage has done some good movies. Did he do a movie about himself? Yeah, him and Pedro Pascal watch that. Him and Travolta do Face Off. Wasn't that a movie? Boy, what range? He did one about himself. Huh? Can't believe he got snubbed by the Oscars. Wait, let's go back to Face Off. That movie was way before its time. I mean, they were ripping off people's faces, putting them on each other. Where's our technology there? Have we not been able to do that? We can't. I mean, people do that all the time now. You do. Didn't even have to be the face. Things have really progressed. Oh, man, they really have. So it was before it's time. Yeah. I like that movie. Really? Really, really was. Wow. Who was the love interest in that movie? I remember at a younger age watching that thing, and she was pretty hot. Yeah, I forget. I don't know, Lee, why are you so slow to the drama here? Dominique Swain, maybe? Is she a brunette, dirty blonde? I don't remember. Definitely not her like that. Oh. Oh, I know who you're talking about. Lisa Boyle. Cindy. She was Nicholas Cage's girlfriend. Yeah, this up. Take a look. That's how he got in trouble in Con Air because it wasn't somebody pushing up on his chick and. And then he. He, like, put the dude's, you know, nose bone in his brain or something like that. And that movie is brutal. And went to jail because he was a military man. I like the movie, actually. Good. Yeah, that was pretty good. Yeah, Conair is great. It had some great actors in it. Yeah. Steve Buscemi. Buscemi was in there? Yeah. Who else in there? Yeah, it wasn't. That was Ring. Oh, Danny Trejo was in there. John. John Malovich wasn't Ving. I stand correct. Virus. Cyrus the Virus was. It wasn't Ving Rhamson. I mean, there was some good names in that movie, man. Yeah, it was a cult classic. Good names on the jets last year, too. They sucked. Dang. Oh, yeah, John Cusack. John Cusack. Chappelle's in there. I forgot about that. Dave Chappelle. I knew. Vin Grames. Yeah, he is in there. Danny Trejo. He's in there. You know, to do with the. The chick with the afro tattooed on him. Oh, that was Lee. Oh, wow. Well, hey, that was, I thought, movie. Lee, are you done celebrating your birthday? There's a Still going on. Still going, baby. All month. Yeah, it is. Which night did you get the most hammered? Like on your actual birthday? On tax day? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was Taco Tuesday, right? Taco Tuesday. It's a good time. Where'd you go? Morrison's for Taco Tuesday. Five dollar margaritas. Sounds like a Hispanic name. That's very far away from being a Spanish name. Where'd you go? To Jamal's on St. Patty today? Hey, what you trying to say? Dang. What you doing? Jonas? Celebrate. Yeah. You showed your true colors here, huh? Dang. What are you talking about? That vampire Taco God. Hey, Jonah. All right, take us a break, man. Cool. Get us out of here. So that'll wrap up our coverage of Aaron Rod. Aaron Rodgers would be in Pittsburgh by now if he wanted to be there. That's just what everybody needs to be aware of. Yeah, and I think that that's the moral of this story. And whoever it is he's talking to that he's going to go play for Listen, I'll come play for you. I want to play for you. I'll do it for 10 million. That's all I need is 10 M. 10 M's. I'm letting you know I need 10 M's. By the way, how rich are you that you call it 10M's? Like 10M's, I think it was. That was like more like locker room talk. That was more relatable to the dudes in locker room. I agree. I agree. I wish. That'd be sweet. Cats call them bands, you know what's like that? Like a G. G? What's a G? A grand. What's wrong with you, man? I just don't know these terms. Oh, my gosh. What? He said a G.

In 2020, a group of young women in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI fueled nightmare. Someone was posting photos. It was just me naked. Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts on my body. Parts that looked exactly like my own. I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream. It happened in Levittown, New York. But reporting this series took us through the darkest corners of the Internet and to the front lines of a global battle against deepfake pornography. This should be illegal. But what is this? This is a story about a technology that's moving faster than the law and about vigilantes trying to stem the tide. I'm Margie Murphy. And I'm Olivia Carville. This is Levittown, a new podcast from iHeart Podcast, Bloomberg and Kaleidoscope. Listen to Levittown on Bloomberg's Big Take podcast. Find it on the iHeartRadio app. Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, everyone? It's Greg Rosenthal, and I'm teaming up with the King of Spring, Daniel Jeremiah. He requires me to say that we're going to be bringing you 40s and free agents, the only podcast you'll need this NFL draft season. From DJs, mock drafts to my top 101 free agents, agents will have it covered for you with all new episodes every Thursday keeping you up to date as we head to the NFL Draft. Listen to 40s and free agents on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm Israel Gutierrez and I'm hosting a new podcast, Dub Dynasty. The story of how the Golden State warriors have dominated the NBA for over a decade. The Golden State warriors once again are NBA champions. From the building of the core that included Klay Thompson and Draymond Green to one of the boldest coaching decisions in the history of the sport, I just felt like the biggest thing was to earn the trust of the players and let the players know that we were here to try to help them take the next step, not tear anything down. Today, the warriors dynasty remains alive in large part because of a scrawny 6 foot 2 hooper who everyone seems to love for what Steph has done for the game. He's certainly on that, like Mount Rushmore for guys that have changed it, come revisit this magical warriors ride. This is Dub Dynasty. The Dubs dynasty is still very much alive. Listen to Dub Dynasty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's the Dan Patrick Show, Fox Sports Radio, Levar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you. And for Dan and the guys coming up in about 20 minutes from now, we are going to close up shop with a little something called Lee's Leftovers. And on a football Friday, who the hell knows where that's going to go? Lee, you got some spicy stuff for us on a football Friday or what? Lots to look ahead to. We have Easter Sunday falling on a 420, so who knows what happens there? They're going to be a lot of high people celebrating. Jesus. Yeah, who knows what's in that egg? And recapping an interesting night for me last night and yeah, we'll see what happens. Oh, that's good. All right. That's good. All right, so we've got that for you about 20 minutes from now here. Before we get to get to this fun stuff from Syracuse head coach Fran Brown, I want to Let you know that we are brought to you by Mako. Most cars on the road could use a little tlc. At Mako, we bring your car back to life with affordable paint jobs and light collision repairs. Get a free estimate today. Oh, better get Mako. So Fran Brown, the Syracuse head coach, was talking with WTLA AM and had this to say about paying wide receivers in this new NIL landscape. All due respect to everybody in the country, to every wide receiver, to everybody that's doing all this stuff, like, if you want to make 2 million at wide receiver, that's the blue homie over at Ohio State. Ain't nobody else making that money, giving a wide receiver no $2 million, man in college. Nah, that ain't me. I ain't doing that. I can't do it unless they tell me that we get a chance to have Travis Hunter. He could come back to college and he could come here and play for us and he gonna get some of my check. But I ain't paying nobody 2,000 this year. Not. Not to me. Two million, whatever. I just say, yeah, we ain't giving nobody that. So at least you know, he sound like he from where I came from. He from straight the way. What. What's his name? Where's he originally from? He talks like coach of Syracuse. Yeah. Yeah. I would wonder where he's from. Let me look up where Fran Brown is from. He talked like he from Homewood. He's originally from Camden, New Jersey. Yeah. Yeah. Same deal. Yeah. Hell yeah. That's supposed. To me, the Camden is like Homewood. Yeah. Not Thousand Oaks. He wouldn't be like a thousand California guy. Okay. No, he did a hell of a job in his first year. I know that. And he's. Yes, he did. Recruited his ass off wherever he's been. You know, he did a. Georgia. Georgia. Yeah. Did a hell of a job even during his time at Rutgers for their standards. But he's not wrong. I mean, there's. Here's the thing about Nil and. Not that we have to keep pounding the pavement on this entire conversation. I just said you guys. By the way, a really interesting article that just came out in regards to the transfer portal and Division 1 basketball players, but there's only 1% of the players that are taking the lion's share of what's out there. And I think that gets lost sometimes in regards to really what a lot of these student athletes are making. And I also think Nil gets a bad rep because we see a situation like Nico Ia Maliava and we Watch how it plays out. And we scorn the NCAA and everyone else involved as part of the process. And, and whether it's, you know, blaming the parents, blame the agents, wherever it all goes. The truth is you, you're looking at a world where there are no boundaries. Like people act like you wouldn't do the same thing if you were in their shoes. And as I sit here today and look at what some of these players are asking for or taking the just the opportunity to go out and see what their market value is, a lot of people probably do the same thing. So look, there is only one player in the country, a wide receiver that deserves to get 2 million or maybe even more than that, and that is Jeremiah Smith at Ohio State, all right? He is the player that's going to be considered when he is draft eligible to be the number one overall pick because he is that good and he's that ready for the NFL. He would be the number one player maybe taken in this year's draft if he left. And he's coming off his true freshman season. So I've had high praise for him since I watched him in high school. These are, he's rare. That's a once in a generation talent and young man who's ready for that sort of competition at such a young age. But Fran Brown's not wrong. And unfortunately the truth is there's players who are going to test it to see what they can make, to try to line their pockets while they can and take advantage. And there's some who don't prioritize that. And by the way, there's some that don't. It's not some, it's more the majority. I think it's interesting I was talking to Madman like, because we're living it right now. We're, we're in the nil age and my son is a freshman. He's not even a true freshman yet. He's an early enrollee in school. And we just were having the conversation and you know, the one thing that I'll say, every one of these kids out here and every one of these families out here aren't bent on trying to get as much out of nil as they possibly can squeeze out of it, I will say, and having the conversation with him, just listening to his mindset and some of the guys that are, you know, in and around that, that are in this college landscape, there really are guys that truly are focused in on keeping the main thing, the main thing which is getting their education and playing at the highest level that they can play at. If you're a four star, five star guy coming out of high school or you're in college and you're, you've become an all American or you've all, you're all conference, there are going to be a lot of opportunities for you to make appearances for you to do things that will, you know, get you a check. I just think that it's nice to know that there are still a lot of young aspiring talents that are just going there to develop, going there to, to want to go figure, right, Leave a lasting impression on, on the college landscape of what it was that they were able to do and impact the game. I think the young people that are able to do that and it's not, you know, corroded or diminished by greed of, of people that are outside of, you know, themselves that, you know, it could be parents, it could be managers or agents or what that, that you know, these guys have these days. I think if they continue to keep the focus in on what it really represents to go to college and play ball there, I, I think that, I think that that's a very, very commendable, a commendable thing. And, and so while it's like so much nil talk. Nil. Nil. There are a lot of young people that are in college right now that aren't looking to try to, to take adv or trying to take advantage of the university or you know, trying to leverage all these different things that's going on. And I thought, I think that that should be stated because I really feel as though nil has really opened up a very, very negative type of approach to talking about college sports anymore. And we were so inundated with the, the Nico, you know, I'mma leave you, you know, stories that are out there and, and, and what may take place with this player or who's making this much money and this, that and other. Like Q said, there's a small minute percentage of people that are commanding the type of dollars that are being tossed around and yet there's an entire narrative that is, it has really developed and has taken shape and taken hold of college sports, college football. And I don't know that that's necessarily true. There are a lot of stories that would not only balance out but would really drown out the amount of attention that's being, being put on. The greedy ones, I'll say, the ones that are looking for those big ass paychecks and all those different things, sure that's becoming polarizing and, and, and commanding headlines and, and getting clicks. But there are a lot of young dudes out there that are doing this thing the right way and still look at it as I want to be a dope football player first. And it's not just about trying to get the money out of the universities and all that stuff. I'm here to play. I want to have a great relationship with my teammates. I want to have a great relationship with the community that I'm a part of. I found that to be pretty refreshing to hear that from my own child in in the scenario because a lot of this conversation is circulating not only in the media, but it's circulating amongst them as well. And it's a how it's a matter of how they're able to internalize and digest what's being put out there and what's being discussed, what's realistic and what isn't. And I think that that's something that should be stated. Brady mentioned this the article from Ross Dellinger speaking of the situation in college, AD Advisors, a consulting firm for athletic departments, released today a comprehensive study on the basketball transfer portal dating back to 2019. In it, they found that approximately 65% of all Division 1 basketball playing student athletes who entered the transfer portal, regardless of the competition level their career began at, either transferred down a level or did not find a new home. At the highest competition level. In the study, the Power 4 conferences in the Big E, 70% of student athletes who entered the portal transferred down or did not find a new home at the lowest competition level, which was the majority of D1 programs, 61% of student athletes who entered the portal transferred down or did not find a new home for those students. We got to put it into context because, because there are some things that aren't pointed out like you don't know the eligibility issues or rules, which could have been a reason why they actually ended up not finding at home. Okay, that's one problem issue with this that I think everyone's trying to sort out too how you can simplify it but also make it easier for student athletes if they do want to transfer, to still keep the main thing, the main thing, and that's to get their degree so they're not leaving after their athletic career and having nothing to really go off of into the business world. There's also a thought that, well, if they're moving to lower ranked teams, it's kind of how it works. There's players who are transferring from teams that are higher ranked, better teams, they're not either playing or there's people who are offering them more on other teams that need it. So you know in reading that it's like a jarring stat, but it's also not painting the entire picture. Like, of course you're going to have players even in football, for example, who leave Ohio State, who leave Notre Dame, who leave like Penn State, top programs and go to smaller schools to play. Or they might be getting offered more money there because they're more valued there. So that doesn't stand out to me so much. I think if you had an exact percentage of players that didn't find a home, that would be, that would be more of what I would focus on from this article that I think is significant is figuring out how you can educate young people to say like, like, maybe it's better to stay and see this out. Maybe you get an opportunity, maybe you don't, but at least you have a degree in the end that, that should be. At least you have a degree, you have the opportunity to get the degree that you gain that knowledge, you gain that understanding, you have direct connection to your community. I always tell guys, and I tell my kids this now, now make sure you have your job lined up before you graduate. I don't know who confused you on thinking you should be one of these trust fund babies, which they are, but they, you're not going to go travel for 10 years, 15 years, and then decide what you want to do. That's not how we're going to do it in our house. You have your job lined up, you have your people lined up. You have your, your conversations, your allies, your, your connections, your, your relationships. You have all those things lined up before you leave school because the moment you get that, that degree, the moment you leave, depending on what line of work you're in, you're already overqualified. You're not going to get a job that you're looking for, just going out there in the regular market because they're going to look at you like, yeah, you're too qualified for us to bring you in at this entry level position. We're going to go with this person over here, whatever it may be, leverage your community. Because even after you're done playing, I know I did not go to school for, for media, media broadcast. I, I did not. I, I took classes, I, I studied it, I worked at it to get better at, at being able to do it. But that's not what I went to school for. I wanted to be a counselor. And, and so once I got done playing ball, even while I was playing ball. The reason why I got opportunities to do media, it was always a Penn Stater that was hiring me. And that's a true story every single time. Early on, I had no experience. None of that. And the, the person, the person happens to be his name. Yeah. Not Iowa. Sam. Penn State. Sam. He was a Penn Stater and he worked at CBS Radio and he gave me, gave me the opportunity to do radio and learn radio. He taught me how it worked and all the different things that went into it. And he's a Penn Stater. You know, a lot of the opportunities that I see and I'm able to take advantage of are just conversations within my Penn State community. And we all have that opportunity. So there's a lot more value there than just going there and being a mercenary and having them pay you and they don't pay you enough. You go place else. Even if you don't play a whole lot. There's, there's tremendous value to staying there and being immersed in the community that you're, you're attending the school for. That's, it's just simple arithmetic if you ask me. Even if it doesn't play out, and even if it does play out well for you playing on the field, you're still going to most likely live more life than, than you did playing at the professional level. Six, seven years. If you have a 15, 20 year career, that's, that's rare. But what, 100, great, enjoy that. But the reality of it is is that your value is what you build relationship wise within the community that you're servicing, especially as it applies to the college institution that you attend. Allstate College led you to radio. Listen. Now, I'm Brady's radio mentor and I worked at Chuck E. Cheese. See, dang, it's all the same thing. Well, that. Which is surprising. Again, going back to one of our conversations earlier in today's show. Again, walking out of Radio Road super bowl and then, you know, Lavar with his swag, you know, kind of how I walk, probably with a little bit of a limp because my messed up feet. And then there's Jonas. It looks like the damn Tin Man. Yeah. I mean, you had to have a little bit of a wiggle in order to be the rat at Chuck E. Cheese. I mean, you got to shake that ass at some point. Yeah, but I mean that rat ass, I'm suffering the, the side effects of all that. You know, it's a, it's a daunting task job. And that's good to see, man. You know, to fight through all that and plus the amount of weight that I lift like Brady. Come on, man. You know the joints have seen some damage so it happens. But hey, we're all together here on a football Friday and we'll close up shop with another edition of Lee's Leftovers. It's sure to be a spicy one according to Lee.

And you know what? I know the quarterback is super important, but as of late, especially when you're trying to win championship, defensive linemen have been a big part of those championship wins. Am I right? Heck yeah. We're going to start right at the top. Abdul Carter, stud. He seems to be the biggest prospect going into the draft on the defensive side of the ball. Where do you see him going? I could see him going as early as two. I know that's always been about quarterbacks in recent years, but I would not be shocked if he goes with the with the number two pick. I can't imagine him slipping much more than that. What uniform can you picture him wearing in the coming months? You know what? I like him going to New York. You do? I do. Because of the old days of Lawrence, Taylor and Banks and all those great defensive players. Oh, absolutely. Even Carson. Even going back to Justin Tuck. Michael Strahan. There you go. O.C. yo, minora. You have your franchise defensive lineman for the next 10 years? Hopefully. And so I think Abdul Carter is the right move. But who knows? Another guy I'm thinking about is Kenneth Grant out of Michigan. I love him on the interior look. He could be in that. Brandon Graham, Chris Jones, Aaron Donald, Jalen Carter. Look at the lineage of great D linemen that have made big impacts on championship teams. He's ranked right there among the top guys on the. On the list there. You got Derek Harmon at Oregon. You got Walter Nolan, ole Miss, and T.J. sanders, S.C. but Kenneth Grant is right there. Yeah, I like him. I like Darius Alexander. I saw some highlights of him. He's Toledo. Yes, he's out of a small school, but those guys, almost like a Khalil Mack, guys that come out of nowhere, quote, unquote, smaller schools. Is there a hesitation? You think with some of the GMs and front office staff, they're like, yeah, but he played at Toledo. You know, anybody can be great at a smaller school. What happens, you know, if you're. When you're getting to the pros or if he would have played in a bigger conference, maybe he wouldn't have looked as good. I'm with you completely. Hopefully these guys come out and they tear it up and prove everybody wrong. Absolutely. Especially a guy like him who's going to have a chip on his shoulder regardless of where he's drafted. Let's root for Darius Alexander. I'm in. Miller Lite is the perfect pick for draft season. It's the taste. You can depend on a great beer. Trusted by beer lovers for 50 years. Pick up some Miller Lite pretty much anywhere they sell beer. It's Miller Time. In 2020, a group of young women in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI fueled nightmare.

The lap. What do we Got. All right, well, before we get to the weekend ahead, last night I wanted to share a story. I went to go see. Well, first of all, my dinner was canceled. My birthday dinner was canceled, so that was a shame. Ended up going to go see the first IMAX showing of Sinners, which it comes out this weekend with Michael B. Jordan, and I had a nice little surprise. Ryan Coogler, the director, came out and gave a little speech beforehand. If you don't know Ryan Coogler, he's directed the likes of Black Panther and Creed movies, all that stuff. So. Yeah, Wakanda Forever, man. Let's go. Ryan Coogler, dude, come on, man. Wakanda Forever. Y'all know who Ryan Coogler is? Come on, man. Space Jam. LeBron's Space Jam. That. There he is right there. He's called. The movie's called Sinners. Yeah, great movie. Go see. Almost like. It's like. Like a. Almost like a horror flick kind of sort of. Yeah. I don't want to give away the big surprise in it, but. Yeah. How do you know the surprise? Cuz he went to see it, I went to see it. Oh, yeah, you get that access that you shouldn't get. He can't tell us Nowadays, movies. Movies actually, you know, premiere around 3pm or for 7pm on Thursdays now instead of Fridays. Were you on that liver lube while you were in the theater or no? Yeah, I passed out at the end. I missed the end. So how did you know? I gotta go see it again. I don't want to give away the ending. Oh, don't worry, I didn't see it. By the way, do they know this is how you behave? You're supposed to be like, watching their movie and discussing it. Do they know how you behave in theaters? This one was open to the public. I'm free to do whatever. Whatever I want. Lee, you got butchered and missed the ending. I did. That's ridiculous. I don't want to give it away. I got to go see it. Oh, don't worry. He can't give it away. He wasn't coherent enough to know I was very tired. How much. How much did you drink? We went to get sushi before, and the. The lady who was at the sushi bar was very nice. She kept on pouring us rice wine. So we had a couple hot sakis, some beers and some rice wine. Okay. Geez, Lee. And that's it. Well, and I was just really tired. Who were you with? I was with, of course, Todd. Okay. With Todd. Yeah. Okay. Did you bring a flask in? Yeah, I did. So you had more than just. Yeah, there was a little tequila in there, too. Okay. Throwing some tequila in the flask. All right. Just so people know the new audience. It's an interrogation room. Because there's always more that you could squeeze out of this. You know, you just got to keep asking, you know, there was a beatbox in there too. Was there? Yeah, beatbox too. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. That was for the movie? Yeah. I gave you the pre game during the movie. I had a beatbox and tequila. Well, there you go. That makes it all make sense. Brady, that's your guy. That's my guy. And then of course, got in trouble with the lady, Fred, because she wanted to see the movie with me and I went without her. And I saw Ray Coogler. She's very cool. And weren't you excited that you didn't take the lady with you? I was excited I got to see Ryan Coogler. That was cool. Didn't it make you happy that you felt the freedom of hanging with Todd void of any type of drama or any type of confusion or conflict? Yeah. And he introduced me to chicken bake from Costco. What is that? What is that? It's like so good. It's. I describe it kind of like a hot Pocket, but better. Better. It's like a roll of bread that's been stuffed with like chicken Caesar dressing and bacon. Oh, the healthy stuff. Nice. Yeah. That doesn't sound healthy to me. No, definitely was not. Huh. All right. So good. Is it good? 5$. It's like $4 and can get it like hot and just right away. Dang. Yeah, everything's cheap there all the way in. So enjoy WrestleMania 41, Easter and 420 money.
