Technical Challenges and Live Streaming Excitement

00:00:00
Speaker
Let's try this again. all right. says you are alive. Let's try let's try this again. so no it's working. It's working. Somebody go check Twitter and see if this is actually live. It's working. We're doing it. Is it Yeah.
00:00:11
Speaker
Oh, yeah. It popped up. Oh, my God. It actually worked. This is shocking. He did it. i feel like I'm legitimately the worst at technology of all time. Like I have no idea how people fucking do this.
00:00:23
Speaker
Like I need to like, I need people to help me with this shit, man. I gotta like, I gotta like hire someone. getting nice You guys ever see anyone who's, who's tech savvy and who, uh, I need like a legitimate intern or something. All right. Well, all right. We're going to record this and I'll, I'll upload this to the pod. I feel like this is a better way to get, get eyeballs. If we're streaming through Twitter,
00:00:45
Speaker
get those bowls people are anywhere get the eyeballs. So are you guys doing? First live stream. Very excited. Tremendously. So that's great.
00:00:56
Speaker
Well, yeah, it's going to be interesting. What I like is how you can, I guess if people comment, you can pop their comments up here and like and um show them on the screen. i really I'm sure I'll fuck something up again because I honestly like have no fucking idea how to run this. But anywho, this will be boring for the podcast, so I'll have to like edit this out.
00:01:17
Speaker
This will be a horrible podcast audio. Anyway, so yeah, I guess for this week, man, I think this is like I don't

NFL Schedule Leaks and Patriots vs. Seahawks

00:01:23
Speaker
know. what are we We're kind of like close to dead zone, but we've got schedule leaks coming up. So I guess if anything, you know I think the schedule stuff is kind of fun.
00:01:31
Speaker
Schedule leaks are funny. I know that a lot of people don't give a shit, and they're just kind of i didn waiting out for training camp. But I enjoy the leak season. so And I guess to start with, this is from you know Kirk Minahan. So it's not no I'm not saying Kirk is not official. like Kirk's had leaks before, and he he has sources in the organization, so I'm not trying to poo-poo Kirk. but like you know He's claiming that the opening on Wednesday, nine nine is Patriots versus Seahawks, which would be, I would say, a pretty big game, so pretty massive matchup. so Pass Pro, why don't you kick it off, man? would be your thoughts if you're opening and against the Seahawks? How do you feel about that?
00:02:09
Speaker
ah We have to utterly destroy them. Otherwise, national TV, local radio, local TV will be the most insufferable thing for the entire next week, and I don't want to deal with it. I want i want Drake May to shine. i want the offensive line to actually do its job. It needs to do its job. So, yeah, we need to smash him in the mouth and and and not let him get up.
00:02:36
Speaker
I mean, do you think there's any sort of how's the roster differential? I know it's too early. You know, there's a lot to play out. But as far as not like we're going to break it down from from this season versus last season.
00:02:47
Speaker
You feel like there's a tangible roster difference?

Patriots' Strategy and Roster Updates

00:02:50
Speaker
In terms of both rosters, yes. The Seahawks lost a considerable amount of that defense um in the offseason, and we gained a not-so-insignificant amount of pieces on both offensive the the offensive side of the ball and the defensive side of the ball.
00:03:11
Speaker
um one thing that people were kind of hating on you about, which I actually agree with, was the pickup of Reggie Gilliam. I think Reggie Gilliam's going to be a huge piece in this ah offense this year, especially with the the tandem of Ramondre and Travion going into year two.
00:03:28
Speaker
i just i I really believe Reggie Gilliam's going to be an important player for them this year. Yeah. Brad, how do you feel about the if the opening against the Seahawks? How are you feeling?
00:03:40
Speaker
Being a realist, I just think we need to be representative. you know like We need to come out there and not just look totally inept offensively. And I think it's concerning because...
00:03:53
Speaker
Typically, the defense is the one that's going to have the advantage early on versus the offense. If you look at our offense, like adding a guy like Gilliam, you know, adding on to our offensive line, we potentially are going to be talking about adding in wide receivers to the wide receiver room, new tight ends. Like there's just so many new pieces. Like it's not a familiar grouping. that Drake and the offense have to coordinate that makes me concerned going against ah a team like Seattle early on who's just schematically, even if they lost some pieces, still just a powerhouse team. And I think that's concerning. So as long as we represent ourselves and hold our own, I think we can be okay.
00:04:35
Speaker
And in you know looking at what we have for schedule ahead, I mean, difficulty of schedule, we don't have the toughest looking schedule apparently. So, you know, that's that's positive news. But we'll see where those matchups fall, like what days, who's the home, who's the away. And then we can play that whole game, which is another fun one where you say, you know, nine win team, ten win team. But if you think back last year, we basically said if everything goes correctly, like 11 wins, we just told us to smash that. So.
00:05:07
Speaker
We'll see.

Enduring NFL Storylines

00:05:08
Speaker
I don't know. i'm I'm not optimistic about playing Seattle early on, but I think if we represent ourselves okay, then I think people change the narrative quickly.
00:05:19
Speaker
I just didn't think the league wanted to open up with the Super Bowl matchup. like Is that something you want like wait on for, i don't know, having your back pocket for primetime later in the season? No, they want the fucking instant gratification. Come on now.
00:05:31
Speaker
just like there's just like i feel like there's so much of this i don't know how long the variable story keeps going for obviously like this is like the you know the story that nobody can can seem to put down even though now now the photos that come out are are so fucking stupid you got like uh photos of them like talking in a loud place and like that's like a million views from tmz like it makes no fucking sense like if doesn't change anything tangibly. So I don't have any idea why that's, why that's something that, that people care that much about. Now I get the, the story is salacious and nothing else is going on. So I don't know. I don't know when the story dies down, but maybe they want to carry that through to like to week one so they can have a camera on variable for the whole game.
00:06:17
Speaker
i don't know, but I think it's a little ridiculous. It's little ridiculous. Yeah, it's losing steam. It really is. You think so? Yeah, I think yeah the online grifters are the only one who were keeping it alive. To be honest, I haven't seen one tweet about it in like two days, which tells me that the engagement the grifters are getting has died down significantly.
00:06:41
Speaker
but your Your boy, yeah what, tony Tony? Yeah, good old Tony. Tony Farmer there? I don't know. I was doing publicity. but um Yeah, I was getting into it with him because, like I don't know, dude, that's legitimately a grift. like If you're you're running you're a fan, whatever, and then 99% of your tweets are about Vrabel and Rossini because that gets what engagement, you know come on, man.
00:07:06
Speaker
That's fucking ridiculous. Yeah. I don't know. I thought that was silly.

Speculations on A.J. Brown Trade

00:07:10
Speaker
um Another story I thought was kind of fun, kind of interesting was Jim Murray had a fun kind of scoop the other day. um you know, and, um you know, I think this is not based on nothing. This is not just like a ah know, Felger and Maz, hey, let's let's make something up, blah, blah, blah. Like Murray came out and said he talked to somebody in, you know, a luxury condo in the seaport who's talking to A.J. Brown and A.J. Brown's people.
00:07:36
Speaker
um But potentially, you know, some housing in the seaport after he comes to New England. So I thought that was kind of a kind of cool. Brett, what'd you make of that?
00:07:47
Speaker
It's coming close. You know, we're couple weeks, few weeks away from finally getting it through. Like we said a couple of pods ago, but like, when do we think this story is going to get like official, official, right? Because everyone's basically like, oh, it's going to be a 2028 first and then a few other picks. And it's going to be Philly in the past and whatnot. Like who's going to be the first one that basically breaks it and says, this is what the deal is.
00:08:16
Speaker
and these are the terms, like who's going to do it and when does that happen? Because it is, it's freaking there. Like if this doesn't happen, it'd be like the most shocking non-trade scenario Like it would put what happened earlier in the year with like the Cincinnati Buffalo, like whole ordeal, like totally go from this one, be like, well, this, I'm sorry, the Oakland Baltimore one, where basically a Crosby being traded. And then also now it's not going to happen. Like this almost feels to that level.
00:08:50
Speaker
Like it feels like it's that level because it's just so guaranteed. yeah. I'm just curious to see when it breaks, what it looks like. But, I mean, the guy's coming to the Patriots. Like, come on.
00:09:01
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, Shefty is already, not to interrupt, but Shefty's already going on you know Twitter, Pat McAfee show, broken down what the what the the trade compensation is looking like and broken down what the timeline is looking like. If they if this does not happen, it is the the biggest trade failure I think I can ever think of, truthfully. i think it actually dwarfs the the Crosby Raven stuff because at least you know the trade, there was a deal in place.
00:09:31
Speaker
With this one, you know you had all the smoke and all the talk, and then if it doesn't go through, then nothing happens at all. That's just like the the biggest yeah biggest tease in the world, I guess, and it really ruins Schefter's credibility since he's been so adamant that it's going to take place.
00:09:47
Speaker
Yeah, i mean, it's obviously... you know, Schefter's not going to fuck around with this story and be tweeting the way he is unless it's happening. Like that to me is like the biggest, it would have to be a tremendous fuck up by everyone involved. Like, cause he's getting it from both sides. It's not just from the Patriots. Like he's getting from Patriots and the Eagles. Like, yeah, we're going to get this deal done.
00:10:07
Speaker
We're working this deal out. It's going to get done. But like, you know, there's no terms yet, but it's going to get done. You know, I just think the comp, obviously people can talk about the comp. um And I think at this point it would be,
00:10:19
Speaker
The 2027 first thing is clearly to me out the window. That's not real. um I do think there's a possibility it's a first rounder in 2028, which is kind of like a second in 2027. And then you end up with that first in 2028. You add something coming back to the Patriots that people have mentioned, maybe like a fourth i'm coming back to the Patriots. But like,
00:10:41
Speaker
I don't know. He's he's a he's a dynamic receiver. like He's a great receiver, man. There's no question. like He's a player that um clearly is ah of massive importance and would be to this roster. He's a guy that makes your team a ton better despite you know it's going to cost something to to get him. But I think it would be completely worth it. And even if you get two let's say you get two great seasons And i don't know, one ah good season. Like, is that, is that worth it to you, pass pro? Is that comp worth it?
00:11:15
Speaker
I mean, a hundred percent. So let's let's say you get, you know, even one great season, a good season, and then you either move on or, you know, take, you know, trade them somewhere else, ah cut them or trade them somewhere else. I, it's worth it. I don't,
00:11:33
Speaker
like it So lets let's put it this way. So if he has a great season in 2026, okay, you still have your 2027 first-round pick. If he even has a good season in 2027, your pick in 2028 isn't that great anyways. So I don't really care about you know a middle to end of first-round pick at that point.
00:11:59
Speaker
like i just I don't care. I would rather have at that point two seasons worth of, you know, on average, really good production from a j Brown. Like, I just think that's more important to what this team wants to accomplish and Drake May's development overall than 2028 first round pick could ever be. It's true too. You just know, I mean, like people, we know like people overvalue picks, like obviously picks, you know, picks count for something. They're important. You know, the draft is important.
00:12:28
Speaker
and We talk so often about how important it is to draft and develop well. um But, I mean, when you're talking about what they've drafted with first or overall picks, you can go back the last ton of years with that. fifteen You know, not always a hit, folks.
00:12:44
Speaker
You know what i mean? Like, it's not always a guarantee you're getting some stud player coming back. um Namely, we're still, you know, jury's out on Will Campbell, your boy Will Campbell. You shut your mouth. You know, what stop your blast.
00:12:58
Speaker
um which is kind of like a good segue into, um you know, Caleb Lomu, you know, kind of did some of the rookie minicamp there strictly at left tackle.
00:13:10
Speaker
And I guess before I listen you guys give a take on that first before I give a take, but how'd you feel about ah you make anything about Lomu exclusively being left tackle at rookie minicamp either you guys?

Rookie Minicamp Insights

00:13:23
Speaker
No, I don't. Because it just I think it's one of those things where I agree, by the way. People are going to jump all over this and make it seem like big country is in trouble down there on left side. It's not happening. It's not going to happen this year. You're not going to turn on a guy who is your first-round pick, high-draft pick,
00:13:44
Speaker
year two, but with a guy that you got late in the first round. And on top of it, Campbell was, in all accounts, a really solid left tackle for three quarters of the season before his knee injury.
00:14:00
Speaker
And then he struggled coming back and he had the fiercest competition like all the year that he's played in the playoffs like I get it. We've gone down that road. So, no, you're not going to turn around on your asset that quickly and switch it up. Like, you you got to stay with him. So, Lomu, I think they're going to move around. He's got to be a swing tackle. Like, they got to be able to figure out, can he do left side, right side? And what does that look like? So, they start on left. They move him right. But they drafted him to get behind Moses and have Moses be the one to go through and and be the guy that he replaces. So, that's where he's going to slide to eventually. i make no stock in the and the pick.
00:14:38
Speaker
got phil i guess yeah We have a comment here from Sports Thoughts. not sports thoughts it's Just Sports Thoughts. on Brown, assume? sportful pathro is that on a j brown i assume Yeah, I believe so. And sport thoughts. Thank you for the comment. First one of Savage's live podcast career. So I'm honored to answer it.
00:14:57
Speaker
um I think a a great season for AJ Brown is somewhere in the neighborhood of 1400 yards and, you know, 10 to 12 touchdowns. I think that's probably like fucking ah a pretty fucking good season. I think a good season is probably around like, you know, the 1200, the 1200 yard mark and,
00:15:14
Speaker
8 to 10 touchdowns I think is a good expectable outcome based on you know where he is and what this offense I think is capable of and what Drake's capable of of course. Now to your question about Lomu, it's rookie minicamp. There's only like two or three tackles that are available.
00:15:33
Speaker
What do you expect they're going to do realistically that's going to make any sort of difference in terms of, you know, what position he's playing in rookie minicamp?
00:15:44
Speaker
he Essentially, and Greg Bedard had a good ah good thought about this that I'm going to steal. Yeah. It's Ricky Minicamp. Let's just put guys in their natural position so we can get through the camp and just see where they are physically without having you know having to have them worry about, oh, what foot am I going to be stepping off of? that That's all OTA and training camp stuff because I agree with with Brett and what a lot of people have said. Loma was brought in to be the swing slash eventually take over right tackle from Morgan Moses. Will Campbell...
00:16:20
Speaker
and People hate to admit this, but he was a pretty damn good left tackle from a lot of the season. Injury obviously hampered him, but I don't think they're ready to give up on the number four overall pick in 2025. I'm not, certainly, but I think the combination of Campbell and Lomu in the future at right tackle, I think that's that's a pretty good base to start off with.
00:16:45
Speaker
I mean, it's clear, though, that I brought this image up. Jeez, I wish i don't know how to do this, but I had an image from PFF, right? Like it was just Campbell's ah PFF stats or, you know, grades as the season went. Right.
00:17:00
Speaker
um And everyone's like, oh, he struggled against, you know, Miles Garrett. And, you know, what's his or her something from Pittsburgh. I forget his name, but he's a good D end. Yeah.
00:17:11
Speaker
and And yeah, he did. Like he had his moments where campbell Campbell struggled. But, you know, you can go down the list and, you know, he had a pretty good season, like a pretty good rookie season for a 21-year-old left tackle before his injury, before week 12.
00:17:23
Speaker
And then I looked at the grading, again, on PFF after the MCL tear and in the postseason, and and we kind of know what happened, right? Like his struggles were so I mean, he he was had some brutal struggles. I mean, we watched it. and You know, you don't even have to look at the grades. You can look look with your eyes. You know, when you're watching the Super Bowl and he's getting pushed back on his ass on plays that are blown dead, you're go to be like, what the fuck is going on?
00:17:48
Speaker
Yeah. You know, what the fuck going on here? Like, this is not something where, um you know, again, to me, to revisit it, I don't know. Maybe he shouldn't have been playing. No, he he definitely shouldn't have. I think that's pretty obvious now.
00:18:01
Speaker
I don't get how they could have made that choice. Like I'm still trying to revisit that decision. And like, if if you know, he's hurt and he can't go and he can't anchor, how is that a decision you can make as a franchise? Like, why wouldn't you say, you know, we're going to go with the Darien low, even though everyone, ever everyone hates low. I understand.
00:18:20
Speaker
um It's the one fatal flaw, and not to cut you off, but it's the one fatal flaw of Mike Vrabel's coaching. In my opinion, he loves his guys and he wants to give his guys chance to compete whether, and that's what he believes is going to, to make the difference, right? It is his guys fighting as hard as possible because he believes in them.
00:18:41
Speaker
i think I truly think that is his fatal flaw. It's just believing in this guy is too much. Well, maybe. Maybe. Because let's also remember, like early on in the year, everyone was butchering Stevenson and basically saying the guy keeps fumbling ball. The guy's a problem. We can't let him play. We got to move on from him. And this was all like before week six.

Mike Vrabel's Coaching Decisions

00:19:00
Speaker
And then you get to the playoffs and he's one of our solid performers. So maybe this is a situation where, yeah, in hindsight, at the Super Bowl, I'll question it.
00:19:10
Speaker
Every game and that's like really just the halftime at the Super Bowl. What are you doing? Like this is it, guys. This is you're in the freaking Super Bowl. You have a chance. You're in striking distance, and your guy is clearly getting like table turned. Can we kind of go ahead and figure something out? That's it. Other than that, i mean, to me, it's his willingness to recognize like where it's just glitch and like essentially the guy like you stand behind because you're going to need him when it comes time to be needed and that's exactly what he said with stevenson he goes we need to have this guy be able to produce so we got to stick behind him and i look at it and say that's what made him so effective last year is i think he held a good amount of accountability in the room in the locker room during practices during reps and
00:19:58
Speaker
But, like, if you went out there made a mistake on the field, like, he wasn't going to butcher you for it, like, someone else, and use you as a scapegoat. And I think that's what gained him the respect of the team. So, I'm not ready to go to that point where that could be his fatal flaw.
00:20:13
Speaker
I may be wrong. It's only been year one. But we'll see where it goes, especially with a guy like Will Campbell. Because, like you said, I mean, people pitchforks and, you know, coming down trying to say, we got to get rid of this guy. If he can stand behind him it doesn't work out. Well then, yeah now we have a problem.
00:20:32
Speaker
The thing is like you still, you saw have such like if an easy out situation. Kind of. ah um If he can't go at left tackle. You know, I think the Lomu pick gives him so much flexibility um because you're assuming he's going to be able to play left tackle. That's all he played, you know, in college. And, you know, his length is fine and and the athleticism is very good. So you'rere you're hoping ah you're hoping that that's someone who basically uh can pan out you know and loma can pan out ah we all think right tackle for morgan moses but again you know if campbell can't go at left tackle you know mike uenu this is probably michael when he was last season with the patriots you know michael when he was on a contract year with zero guaranteed money remaining i don't know what happens does he hold in does he play like i actually don't know what happens with michael when you know um that could be something where
00:21:26
Speaker
That's a situation I would monitor. That's a situation where I would, I would say ah he might, again, like maybe he needs more money or and I'm not saying you trade him, but that's, so that's a player I would pay attention to.
00:21:39
Speaker
Now, if a winner doesn't go Campbell, you know, and he's out at some point and Campbell has to to move to guard. Like there are solutions here where you can play mix and match at the offensive line and still have a very, very strong unit.
00:21:52
Speaker
Granted, some of these changes might happen in like a year. It's not something that's going happen now. Ideally this season, Morgan Moses stays healthy as long as possible. You know, Caleb Lomu is your swing tackle.
00:22:03
Speaker
And he's able to sit a little and bulk up and and learn. And I think you have a pretty strong line, but there's a lot of kind of ifs there, especially with the health of Morgan Moses, the health of Elijah Vera Tucker, you know, and Vera Tucker has been massively injured. So i don't know. There's my kind of O-line rant.
00:22:22
Speaker
So one thing I just want to say regarding that is, like, let let's say that they do make the decision that Will Campbell, and this is the wrong decision in my opinion, but Will Campbell is a guard and not a left tackle, and they move Lomu into left tackle.
00:22:37
Speaker
You're still drafting a tackle high in in the first round in 2027 to replace Morgan Moses. Like, it Truthfully, it doesn't solve any of your issues to do that as much as people want to think it does.
00:22:52
Speaker
Right now, your issues are moderately solved if we can get Caleb Lomu to be a serviceable right tackle and Will Campbell to play at the level he was playing at before injur the injury last year.
00:23:03
Speaker
So it's just... For me, again, I'm i'm not going read into rookie minicamp. I just think it's, you know, let's put the guys through their paces and get the hell out of here. But I just think that entertaining Caleb Lomu at left tackle is a futile idea.
00:23:19
Speaker
Well, switching switching gears a little bit, what are your thoughts on the number

Stefan Diggs and Patriots Strategy

00:23:23
Speaker
choices? I know the big one was obviously the Kyle Williams. Ooh, want to talk about this. Kyle Williams was trending number eight. Now he says, no, I'm going number 18. Do we think that means Diggs is back in the conversation with the Pats?
00:23:37
Speaker
I think there's like just to to be clear, if there's there's a non-zero chance that Diggs is back in the roster. Like I've been, I've been doubting, obviously as soon as Kyle Williams switched to eight, was going to switch to eight. I was like, all right, that you know, that really seals it actually.
00:23:55
Speaker
It's like, you know what i mean? Like you're not going to take the guy's number, but I think it's interesting. I think ultimately you'd have to talk to Kyle. I don't think he's been on record being like, yeah, I went back. Cause I wanted to leave it open for Diggs. Like, I don't think that's something he's,
00:24:10
Speaker
He's said, but I think there's, like I said, it's a non-zero chance and it, it leaves the door open. um And it really depends on what kind of contract Stefan Diggs wants.
00:24:23
Speaker
Do you know what I mean? Because i think if you're honestly, if you're, If you can get digs on cheap money, like AJ Brown's coming here. If you can get digs on cheap money, you have an outstanding room. It becomes like an outstanding wide receiver room. So um hold on. What did Joe say here? We'll put one of Joe's comments up. From from Joe, LFG, Pat's pat's ah pod here.
00:24:46
Speaker
If we get digs before June 1st, that strengthens our position when we go back to Howie. That's a really good point. You know, that's true. I think if you have digs and Dobbs, I don't think, you know Yeah, I don't think Howie has a lot of leverage, but I don't think Howie has that much leverage regardless. like Like they both know what each other wants. It's like mutual. You know what i mean? Like it would be weird if Howie comes to the table and says, yeah, I'm going to need that 2027-1.
00:25:12
Speaker
Well, it'd just be like, all right, well, we're just not going the deal. Like it wouldn't make sense. You know what mean? Like because the issue is they both want to do the deal. like Like people, Eagles fans are forgetting this because they're always in the mentions yelling and this. Oh, I've triggered them so many times. It's so great.
00:25:27
Speaker
But like got to realize like both teams want to get the deal done. The Eagles also want to get the deal done. They want to trade A.J. Brown. They don't want him back.
00:25:39
Speaker
He's been a headache for them. it he doesn't gel with their quarterback. It's not working. They both want to complete the deal. So, again, just want to make that perfectly clear. Pats, bro, what do you have on it?
00:25:50
Speaker
well like i said and i kind of was the i don't want to say i was the first to talk about this but as soon as stefan digs um he got that not guilty verdict my gut immediately said he's coming back um and you know people you know said oh there's no way kyle williams he's got his number blah blah blah as if like a jersey number matters but For Mike Reese, sorry, for the team to announce Kyle Williams was moving to number eight, post the graphics and everything on socials, and then for Mike Reese to just subtly slip a tweet in, oh, yeah, by the way, Kyle Williams is keeping the number 18 and not moving to eight, that's a little suspect to me. It just is. Yeah.
00:26:36
Speaker
I agree with you. If Mike Reese says something There's always a reason behind it. We all know he's connected. For him just to slip it in very innocuously in a tweet with like two other things about jersey numbers and just, you know oh by the way, Kyle Williams changed his mind. like Come on. that that's that's a bit That's a bit obvious, and I think and if you want to call Joe's comment up here, um they i think they do love Diggs. I just don't think that they liked where his number was in 20 It was was like 26 million or something. Yeah, I mean, realistically, it's not crazy for a receiver if he was If he was 28 years old and had the kind of production he did, i think I don't think they have a problem with his contract. But he's 33, second season coming off of ah an ACL tear. yeah I don't think they'd like his contract at 26. What I think they'll do
00:27:37
Speaker
and And I am kind of a full-on tinfoil hat believer that the reason that Williams didn't change his number is because Diggs is coming back. I think he's going to come back on two-year deal that's going to have like two dummy years, and they're just going to front-load him some cash and then deal with the the cap stuff down the road. That way he gets paid and they can accommodate both his contract in 2026 and AJ Brown's contract.
00:28:09
Speaker
I just, ah I'm ah um'm a full believer, full conspiracy theory believer on that one. Well, the reality is if you look at contracts, like this is not the year We're going to be absorbing A.J. Brown. Yeah.
00:28:23
Speaker
We still have cap space. Like, this is the year where we're going to have cap space. We thought things were going to happen with Gonzo. They decided to you know give him the fifth-year option. I still would love for them to figure that out long term. I don't mean to cut you off, but even if they sign Gonzo, that money is not hitting until 2028. Yeah.
00:28:41
Speaker
well and But that's what I mean, though. like They have to figure out that contract because I think that just kind of sets the table for what then becomes May and then you know what comes down down the road with who knows with Campbell and et cetera, et cetera. So like I think Gonzo kind of sets the table. And the longer you wait, the higher the price goes. Just looking at digs, though, I 100% agree. It's going to be like a two-year contract with an easy out in year two.
00:29:05
Speaker
And they have the money to absorb it. You look at it and say You could get A.J. Brown and have Diggs and add Dov's. Like, that's legit.
00:29:17
Speaker
That is a legit. That's probably like a top three room. Yeah. So like I look at it and on top of it, like you're still developing Kyle Williams behind. So you're going to be able to have him. Like, I know we talked like Poff's not going to make the roster at that point. We we obviously would trade booty out at that point, but either way, like it's going to be an elite roster. You're still going to be able to find room where digs isn't the guy.
00:29:43
Speaker
And I think that was the big thing that kind of wore him down was he was the guy. He didn't get any rest on that side. So now you're going to be able to balance it out between him and Brown on, getting the rest and Dobbs got enough young legs that he can keep going. Like that's, that's going to difference maker, but it's not going to be a three, four or five year contract where we're going to be like, what do we do with this guy? No, this is going two years easy out.
00:30:05
Speaker
Yeah. W years behind that way. Cause they can spread out the cap hit of the signing bonus to, to be quite honest. If we have, again, this is all speculative of course, but if the room ends up being AJ Brown, Stefan digs and Romeo Dobbs,
00:30:20
Speaker
The amount of mixing and matching Josh McDaniels can do is ridiculous. And we all know that Drake loves to distribute the ball, throw to the open guy. It's it's a matchup nightmare because if you're not double teaming A.J. Brown, Drake's throwing it to him. If you're if you're double teaming Stefan Diggs, he's finding Dobbs or Brown. If you're stupid enough to double team Dobbs, then Diggs and Brown are going to kill you.
00:30:49
Speaker
So it's just it makes too much sense not to do it. I think they have the ability. Like Joe says, you got to push the chips in. No love entertainment.
00:31:00
Speaker
um I agree with you. So I want to read this comment. So we got another comment of this guy. No love entertainment. Thanks for tuning in. So, yeah, we um he's asking, is A.J. Brown a done deal?
00:31:13
Speaker
um So, again, in my opinion and a lot of people's opinions is like, no it's not pen on paper done but like it's pretty fucking done it Again, like I would say like we knew before the trade before the draft, basically, it was pretty effing close and it was getting close and people were really starting to talk.
00:31:36
Speaker
And then it died. And you're like, what the fuck just happened? And it was clearly like some sort of impasse where Howie was trying to get a number and and and the Patriots didn't want to give him what he wanted. So they're like, all right, let's wait.
00:31:48
Speaker
Wait it out. like We don't need this before the draft. Wait out. Wait out. And so now I think, again, i did reiterate this before is I think both teams want the deal to be done. This is what people have to understand. It's not a leverage play. It's not like we need this guy.
00:32:03
Speaker
ah You know, you have like like the Patriots want the player, love the player. The Eagles know this, but the Patriots also know that the Eagles want to move on from the player. Don't want his contract have he's caused a lot of headaches for them. He has a horrible relationship with their quarterback. He doesn't like their quarterback. They just drafted ah a wide receiver in the first round. They just spent money on a wide receiver position. They have a huge log jam now at their wide receiver room.
00:32:30
Speaker
So both teams have done things. And to be honest, like if AJ doesn't happen and digs is still out there, I think at that point they'd be like digs, come on back. What do you want? Here we go. 25 million. Sure. Here you go. Fully guaranteed. Like I think they would do whatever as soon as if AJ Brown did fall through, like there are options. So,
00:32:48
Speaker
So yeah, long story short, do I think it's done? i think it's pretty fucking done without being pen on paper. That's all I have to say. So. I hate the leverage conversation, and I know it came up a lot after Philly drafted Mikhailem, and then it's like everyone goes, well, Howie just gained the leverage because now he has a wide receiver, and that puts him in a position where you know he's okay with doing what with driving the market, and if it doesn't work out with Brown, at least he has a backup plan.

NFL Trade Leverage Dynamics

00:33:16
Speaker
And to your point, you just logjammed up the the wide receiver room. And you had to trade a bunch of assets to try and get, make that happen just to move up and get lemon. So I don't see how that changes really anything. And if we don't get AJ Brown, yeah, it would suck, but you're right. We would just shift gears to get digs. I don't think it, let me put this way. Like AJ Brown,
00:33:43
Speaker
He's going to be a he could be a difference maker when we get to the playoffs and what that looks like. But I don't think we all of a sudden become we can't make the playoffs if we don't have aj Brown. Like, I don't think that's the case.
00:33:55
Speaker
Yeah, it's not just like the playoff. the playoffs are out of the question. You know what mean? um Hold on. We have another question here. Oh, no. Remember, boys, just real quick. Remember, the schedule is actually pretty easy for the Patriots. This was a weird narrative this week. Hold on. Let me answer question first. I'm a big fan of Keyshawn Booty. Does he have to go if we get digs? So, like, there's a log jam somewhere, dude.
00:34:21
Speaker
You know what I mean? Like, this is this is the problem. Like, you can't have all the fucking receivers. So, like, if you had Diggs and A.J. Brown, you know, and Romeo Dobbs and Matt Collins. Like, they're right there. Those are your, like, top four.
00:34:37
Speaker
Like, and those are guys they would play all the time because they're huge bodies and they're people they want to run the football with, they want on the field, right? So, where does Booty go ultimately? My next thought is, like, they've already been rumored last season and this season they've been rumored to to have Booty on the trade block.
00:34:55
Speaker
So I just don't know if they're getting what they want for Booty, but there's been, you know, again, it was like a day three pick was a rumor. They didn't trade him. So I don't know what's going on there. i like Booty. lot of players like Booty. A lot of fans, I should say, like Booty. He's done a really good job for us, but um I don't think he's a long-term player here.
00:35:15
Speaker
um Just like someone like, you know, I think Hunter Henry, who did a great job here and has done well, he's about to age out. And Raritan is basically his drafted replacement.
00:35:29
Speaker
um So, yeah. So, sorry. Let me hide that. What the comments here? What does it say? Diggs would crowd the wide receiver room and would take away the whole point of trading. People are just talking about all right. Sorry. I'm reading comments live. Got remember recording a podcast that as well. You're freaking not a professional over here.
00:35:47
Speaker
I am an absolutely not professional.

Patriots' Schedule and Primetime Predictions

00:35:50
Speaker
I think that's the most clear. I think if anything clear, it's that I'm not a professional. That is that is very clear. But yeah, no, so PathPro, you just brought this point up and i like I like this point. I thought it was weird. All of sudden this week we went from the narrative was the Patriots have the hardest schedule ever.
00:36:09
Speaker
They got like, this is going to be, they're in they're in big trouble. And this is, you know, they're going to have the hardest, the first place schedule, blah, blah, blah. And all of a sudden we get, i think it was Chad Graff from The Athletic, shares something and was like, well, actually the Patriots really just have kind of an easy schedule, the 12th easiest. I was like, what the fuck just happened?
00:36:28
Speaker
Yeah, like it it makes no sense whatsoever. You didn't play any football games yet. What the fuck happened? And like, so In the middle, not in the middle, at the end of last season, everyone was saying, oh, you know, based on the Patriots opponents, they they they have the toughest schedule in 2026. And, you know, that's, the you know, it's going to be the downfall because, you know, they're going to be facing so many teams that, you know, have so much more talent, yada, yada, yada, yeah.
00:36:56
Speaker
And all of a sudden, after free agency, after the draft, like you said, Chad Graff comes out. and I saw a few other people. I can't tell you who. But I saw a few other people saying that, well, actually, you know, ah based on the the Patriots opponents next year, ah they're actually going to have a more difficult schedule, but still an easier schedule compared to the rest of the league, which like.
00:37:19
Speaker
Truthfully, how the fuck does that make sense? like yeah ah you You can't go from at the end of last season telling me that, oh, you're not going to see 14 wins ever again. You're going to have a hard schedule to, well, actually, it's it's the 12th easiest.
00:37:32
Speaker
and that I'm sorry. like quit Quit moving the goalposts on me. It's either they faced really good defenses last year and beat the shit out of them, or and they're a good team, or they faced horrendous ah offenses last year and they're going to have a much harder schedule this year. You can't have it both ways.
00:37:53
Speaker
Yeah, i don't i don't know I don't really know what happened. like how did that Who decided all a sudden that their schedule was easy? Who put out the bat signal, the narrative, that all of a sudden their schedule sucks again and they're going have that whole dialogue? You have to wait for games to be fucking played.
00:38:11
Speaker
and They don't care about that. they Realistically, Chad Graff is just like, oh, shit, got to get something out. Let me let let me you know fudge some math and get some clicks on it. Actually, the Patriots' schedule is going to be the 12th easiest this year. And here's why Drake May could still fail.
00:38:27
Speaker
like that's just Because now instead of doing it based off of records from last season, they're doing it based off of their own projections, right? So changed what we're actually like basing they're doing this off of. And so now that we're doing it off projections, well, we can say whatever the fuck we want. Basically. That's what projections means. like Saying something's a projection just means like you can say whatever the fuck you want. I project that I'm going to lose 50 pounds in the next six months. But if I don't go to the gym, then guess what? I'm probably not going to lose 50 pounds in the next six months. You know what mean?
00:38:59
Speaker
There you That can segue. That's, that's for our next sponsor. Awaken 180. There you go. There you go. They can pay for a spot. We'll have to get them on here. That was a good one. Yeah, there you go. maybe me up But yeah, man, i I feel like this is, you know at least we got schedule week, you know, next week we'll be able to, you know, Thursday night, the whole schedule's dropping, which I love, man. I i know again, people are, unless you're like a kind of like a sicko,
00:39:25
Speaker
the schedule stuff does nothing for you. But again, people who actually maybe want to go to the games and are visualizing when they're going to games, you know, the schedule drops a big deal because you got to look and plan out, um you know, that's real time. Like I get, I'm going to go to maybe, i don't know, maybe five or six games this year or something like that. So I've got to plan it out when I love, i love the standard one o'clock, one o'clock home games are are my favorite. Just ah like a,
00:39:55
Speaker
A classic Pats versus Jets. One o'clock. or ja at one o'clock Yeah, gorgeous October day. That's my favorite. um And we got to go back, Brett. We got to have to do the Savage Boston game trip again. We we went last year to we had like the snowiest day.
00:40:14
Speaker
We were at the Buffalo game. Yeah, we were at Buffalo when they blew the lead. That was brutal actually. Oh, when I was able to get those tickets but I wasn't able to go. Oh, I remember that. Oh, that was brutal.
00:40:26
Speaker
Yeah, that sucked. Well, thank God it didn't go because that game fucking blew. That was a really tough game because not only did the weather for freaking suck and it just like kept getting worse and worse and worse. Like we came out of the chute in the first half, really the first quarter, but like hold on to the first half and felt like we're like we had it. And then we pubb and fucking fell apart.
00:40:49
Speaker
And not only on like have to deal with that, we had a couple of trolls but we sitting behind us that like one dude was wearing like a Baltimore jersey. One dude was wearing like a Steelers thing.
00:41:00
Speaker
And we're like, what the fuck are you doing here? They were just a bunch of trolls. So we had to deal with the freaking Pats getting curb stomped by Buffalo and not being able to get out of their own way on offense. But we had the freaking trolls behind us. who I thought Savage was going to go ahead and clock at one point. We were going to get in trouble with these season tickets. But, oh, man, it was ah that was a tough game. But, yeah we yeah, we need to redeem ourselves this year, pick a good matchup, Savage, and yeah represent. that du the the We stayed after the game. This was I don't know what we were doing.
00:41:33
Speaker
Like, why was oh, sorry, what was that? Pat's bass in here. What's up, Savage? What's up, man? um I don't so, like, we stayed after the game, and we were like, all right, Who's was this snooty's fault? Whose strategy was this to stay afterwards for that long? Like we went with five guys and we stayed after we're like, let's just tailgate after, right? The parking lots are going to be crazy.
00:41:54
Speaker
And so it was like, i think it was November, but it was a genuine blizzard. It was December. It was December. like the first It was December. It was the first blizzard, dude.
00:42:06
Speaker
Like everyone's tent things were were like inverted, upside down, flying around. like It was a disaster, dude, after the game. i would say i would say my scouts history came into play because we ended up putting the cars like at an l-shaped and i freaking strapped them to the sides of the car and even then dude it opened the door like yeah it was outrageous no for real that was an outrageous outrageous weather day i don't know that was that was crazy um
00:42:39
Speaker
Oh, another quick question before we start. I don't know where we want to wrap this up. But another quick question would be, ah how many primetime games do we get this year? Three, four.
00:42:50
Speaker
think three. i don't know. People are trying to say like five. I mean, five would be really five would be a lot. Like I can't remember the last time the Patriots had five primetime games. I think three or four is kind of the the target the NFL wants to to keep for, you know, the teams on the rise. And by the way, the Patriots are still a team on the rise, but five would be a lot. I think, I think it really just, I mean, again, we got to see like when the matchups are home away, things like that. But I mean, you have a December game against Buffalo again, and it's on your standard one o'clock slot. Like that's the game that you, you kind of circle and say, well, that could get flexed.
00:43:31
Speaker
And like those are the areas where we got to look at and see where those come into play. But i mean, looking at it today, yeah, I would say probably three or four is OK for a number.
00:43:42
Speaker
I, you know, i still think I've been saying and constantly, like, I don't see how we're not top five in the AFC. Like, I just don't see how we're not.
00:43:52
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, for sure. I mean, you got again, you talk about the games that should be primetime or games that they or at least let's say don't know. Does the 425 national slot, does that count as primetime? I think 425 national slot does count because it's a standalone, right?
00:44:08
Speaker
I mean, it is a national game. I'm not sure i'm not sure if it actually I'm pretty sure 425 counts. By definition. but But, again, you got like I would say at least a few games. you know Again, Denver Broncos, first pass at home. Like that to me ah could easily be a primetime game. That should be a big matchup. Both Buffalo games are primetime. Either or. One of the Buffalo games is going to be like a 1 p.m. The other is going to be Sunday Night Football.
00:44:33
Speaker
Yeah. Period. Like it hasn't leaked yet. i'm um'm Believe me, I'm on there. i'm fucking waiting. but ah But, yeah, the other one is certainly going to be a Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football, something like that. I love the Pats versus Chiefs matchup.
00:44:47
Speaker
I think just a May versus Mahomes, like, as far as a, ah I don't know, promotional standpoint, like, I think that's ah that would be a massive viewing experience experience for people. If Mahomes is back by then.
00:45:01
Speaker
Yeah, and how he's playing. Well, they expect him back week one because he's he's lined up against the Denver Broncos, I think, in prime time week one. That leaked out today. So it Chiefs Broncos week one. So that has to at Kansas City.
00:45:15
Speaker
Yeah, again, i think Kansas City continues to slide. I mean, he's been middle-of-the-pack quarterback for the last few years. Like they had the they had the one, but like statistically he's been middle-of-the-pack.
00:45:29
Speaker
Like he's not Again, but he's still marketable. Do you know what i mean? Like he's they can settle him. Yeah. Like that's what i we'm talking about. Like prime time is about like selling people, you know, who do they want to watch? What games like, you're selling Drake may versus my homes. That to me is like, that's a matchup you want to sell.
00:45:47
Speaker
You know, that feels easy versus, you know, um you know, versus any, any my homes versus like Josh Allen. Like, i don't even know if they play this year, but homes versus Josh Allen, like that's a game that sells.
00:45:59
Speaker
um So, yeah, I think those would be those would be massive. there go Obviously, another one, Patriots-Seahawks. Obviously, that could be week one, Wednesday night. um And then so that to me is at least, I would say, four games where they could easily be primetime matchups. I would give it four.
00:46:16
Speaker
um And i think they I think the Patriots will be a ticket that people want to watch, man, on TV. I think people, they're going to be an attractive team to watch. Like Drake Mays is going to become, hopefully one of the big faces of the league and continue to improve and develop and not, I don't know, not would do something like CJ Stroud did in subsequent years or have some sort of like falling off after

Impact of Adding Top-Tier Receivers

00:46:41
Speaker
a big season. so one thing i just want to talk about real quick ah you know in terms of drake's progression and everything drake is he's just different like and again this is stealing greg bedard's steak sorry um i think that just the way he's wired
00:47:04
Speaker
That Super Bowl loss is eating at him, and I think he's going to do damn near everything possible ah to right that mistake, as it were. ah i am personally ready for May to A.J. Brown multiple times, putting it in you know ridiculous windows you know over the middle, ah along the sideline. just i'm i'm ready for it, and i I truly believe that Drake May is going to go to another level this year.
00:47:32
Speaker
I just feel like he's got juice, you know? I mean, A.J. Brown could be such a difference maker, my God. Like, it's not going to be Brady Moss. Like, no.
00:47:43
Speaker
Like, that's not going to happen. But, like, he's just going to open up so many options and give May the ability to just cook. And, like, that was the biggest thing that was our issue last year is like I know we fall in love with some of our wide receivers like we all were on the booty train last year, but in reality, he's not a great wide receiver. He's a solid professional caliber receiver, but he's not a difference maker. Like Matt Collins was like awesome for us and an outproduced booty. But like Matt Collins is your typical journeyman wide receiver. And then, like, you talk about a guy like Pop Douglas, who's, like, a nice storyline for coming up. But, like, really, he's not, a like, an NFL caliber starting wide receiver or getting, like, serviceable reps. Like, he's a special teamer at best. And then, like, you're, like, fifth or sixth strength. So...
00:48:40
Speaker
Getting a guy like A.J. Brown, adding Dobbs, you know, we talked about Diggs. Can we bring him back? We'll see what happens with the development of Kyle Williams. But A.J. Brown is just going to slot guys. And that's, like, the biggest thing. When you can slot guys in the spot that they need to be at, it just makes a world of fucking difference because they're seeing different coverage and they're able to get themselves in a better position to be able to be an available option. And Drake has already shown the ability to, like, distribute the ball, find the options, use his head, like it's going to be such a fucking difference maker getting a guy like that in the roster. It just freaking gives me goosebumps.
00:49:17
Speaker
Yeah. No, it's, you know, clearly like there's some people have different views of the wide receiver room. Like I view it where I think Drake had a special season and elevated his team. That's how I view it.
00:49:30
Speaker
um I think that, some people view it like they, again, like booty seems to be a guy where people really seem to fall in love with him. um And I get it. Like you draft the player, develop the player. you want him to succeed. You watch him have some great plays. I understand that, but you got to realize like he caught, like, I think he caught for like 550 yards last year.
00:49:51
Speaker
Now that's awesome. Great. Like that that's good. Like solid performance. He had a really good, catching the postseason, which was one of the better postseason catches ever against the Texans. But again, there are differences in and just like talent level. And if you want to just improve the room ah as a whole, um i think Booty at some point won't be here, but he's a solid like wide receiver four.
00:50:17
Speaker
That's what he is. Three wide receiver, three, four. But if you have a real room like Dobbs, AJ Brown, Diggs, that's a different caliber room. You know, like that's, I'm sorry. It was like different calibers there.
00:50:32
Speaker
Hold on, we have a couple comments quick and then eventually we'll sign off here. We got a comment from Blake Martin. Can you see Eli Raritan possibly merging as the starter through the season? um I don't know. up That's tough. I said before, I said there's a there's an off chance Hunter Henry doesn't make the roster.
00:50:52
Speaker
um ah that Again, very, very off chance. But again, if you cut him, you save a lot of money and it doesn't hurt you at all cap-wise. So basically they have incentive to cut him if they needed to. They probably weren't won't because he's a leader, right? So they don't have to cut that player and he's still effective. But yes, at some point I think Raritan should kind of ah move beyond, especially athletically, we should move beyond Hunter Henry because Again, I think Hunter Henry is just taking a step back. He had a pretty lousy postseason. Didn't block well, didn't receive well. He just kind of looked like he was losing it a bit. So didn't love his playoff performance.
00:51:30
Speaker
um And last maybe the last one here from Beantown Takes. Pop should get traded. Yeah, i don't well, I don't think, first of all, I don't think anyone would trade anything for Pop. This is the problem. Like you need someone to give up something. Like maybe could do a pick swap. Someone won him for a six seven pick swap.
00:51:46
Speaker
You know, because that's I don't know who's trading massive assets for Pop Douglas. I think I like Pop when he does, when he gets into space, but just never panned out as a pure receiver. If he's wide open, catches it, like he can make someone miss.
00:52:01
Speaker
But just so often he's not in the right spot or, um I don't know, he falls down when he catches the ball immediately. Like there's like sometimes, like I don't know. Pop just he hasn't panned out in the way they want. And they want big They want big receivers who can block now, which means, again, that I think Pop is not going to be a guy who's there long. I think he might the odd man out. So, you know, let's see. Let's see how it goes. Do you guys have any other thoughts before we we sign it off?
00:52:34
Speaker
and I want to get your thought, Savage. I know you called into EEI, had a little conversation with Shyam. It was all about, you know, the whole fuck you you going back and forth when it came to the low move. How was that conversation with Shyam? What was that like where for you?
00:52:52
Speaker
That was fun, man. um Well, i called in because you texted me. um i called in. Meggo said I should call in. And so, you know, if they ask me to call in, I'll call in. um I think they wanted me to I don't know. Did they want me to call in? Well, they wanted you to call in and destroy Shyam.
00:53:10
Speaker
they want don't know. what it What's his character? What's his character? Is he like the guy that gets yelled at or something? Well, he's the guy who has the he's like the um Who's that the producer for Felgur and Maz?
00:53:29
Speaker
Jimmy Stewart. He's the Jimmy Stewart. He's always the one with the outrageous Oh, Schedule League. Schedule League just came out. What we got? What do we got? I knew this was coming too. I had it. um Patriots versus Lions in Germany.
00:53:44
Speaker
Week 10 international schedule.
00:53:49
Speaker
Wow. big Well, there's one prime time. Yep. That's a prime time. That's a nine, 9 a.m. Prime time at nine 30 in the morning. Wow. Hadlock had it 11 minutes ago.
00:54:02
Speaker
Did he? Yeah. he He posted a German flag 11 minutes ago. Yeah. That's a, I tried to get that info from another, German friend we have on here, but ah he, he was like 80% sure. So I didn't say anything. um Anywho, i yeah, man. Sorry. We'll end it off with a scheduling. But, yeah, so sorry. i don't Just to finish the conversation, i didn't know um i didn't know who really who Shyam was. is it He's the contrarian who has like the most outrageous contrarian takes.
00:54:34
Speaker
That's what, that's what his shtick is. like Maybe he's a lovely person in real life. He's going to say, actually, he sucks. I don't know. I don't know him. um I know a lot of guys at EI over there, guys I've talked to, whether it's,
00:54:47
Speaker
Adam Jones and Fitzy and Lions, who's another guy who's been over there a bunch. And I've talked to a bunch of these radio guys. I've met a bunch in person. To be honest, everyone's been really nice. So I haveve no i have no bad you know bad things to say. To be honest, I don't really have a ton I try not to have a ton of conflict.
00:55:06
Speaker
You know, or beef with people like I'm not I'm mean into, you know, talking

Listener Engagement and Future Plans

00:55:11
Speaker
Pats, honestly. So um I know. Yeah, I came after him in the morning because his take was so shitty about Lomu and drafting offensive line. And then they mentioned again, as I said on there, they mentioned Kildrick Falk.
00:55:24
Speaker
being the player they wanted instead. i was like, he doesn't even have a fucking pass rush. You wanted to take, like, they talk about getting speed. Let's take a developmental project who's a good edge and doesn't know how to pass rush. Like it may just made no sense who they suggested instead of that player. And that's what I didn't like. It's like, if you had a better suggestion or someone you wanted draft, then that's, you know, that's, that's different. So um anyway, that was my thoughts on that, but.
00:55:49
Speaker
All right. Well, good stuff. feel like this is pretty good live stream for first time around. Tremendous job. I kind of like the how ah people are interactive on here. It's pretty cool. I like that the most. People get to comment and bring it up and interact. I think that's that's pretty neat. so um And, yeah, now we officially Patriots versus the Lions in Germany, which is, let's see, hopefully just not a complete mess of a game. But but we got one. We got a schedule leak. Yeah.
00:56:16
Speaker
All right, guys, we'll take it easy. I'm going to upload this. I had to figure out how to do this at some point, but upload this to the actual podcast things. And we're going to be streaming again. going to try to do it every Tuesday night at around 830. That's the goal for streaming time.
00:56:29
Speaker
So we can have kind of a reliable time slot. All right. Peace. Take it easy. See you guys later. Peace. Peace.
