They are what we thought they were. You played to win for days. They want you to cook the dinner. At least I ought to let your shot for some of the grocery. And on the way up, we're gonna buy a knee cap all playoffs. I'm just here so I won't get fine. How could you not be romantic about football? Are we allowed to raise your voice or no? Yeah? Okay, So should I just start? Yeah? Just leave all this and welcome to bench with Bonetta. Guys. We are in Indianapolis. Um, and for the longest time, I thought it was Minnianapolis and Indianapolis. So that's close to bar that we're starting. Upon arrival to Indiana, guys, were at the combine. We are sitting in front of a rabel. I see was met with Florin here a second ago. Yeah, cool, good talk. We're at the combine. Were like kind of huddled in the corner because I did not realize there was going to be so many people here today. So your girl showed up in the sweater, she slept in no makeup. I did wash my face and brush my teeth, so we do have that going for us. But um, your girls looking a little rough. People are looking at me and they're like, she's definitely hungover. And I'm not to be fair, I mean, did you even sleep? Last was a red Eye? Okay, I'm the hardest working person in this room, that's true. I am definitely the most hired. But speaking of the red Eye, Um, there is no easy way to get to Indianapolis, and so I chose to be on Reddy because I just wanted to get it over and done with and I didn't want to be on a layover. There was a girl in front of me, um, who had her light on the entire time, which is pretty much the worst thing a human being can do on a red Eye. On red that's so disrespectful to literally everybody around you. Who's this? Do you not realize we're doing something professional? We're doing a podcast, so you are what do you think we're doing? Just sitting over in the corner holding microphones. I thought you were on what's it called chat roulette over here? What are you even? What are you wearing? Wearing an oversize rich eyes and suits actually striped jack. I didn't get the wig like you do with mooch, but um, yeah, you know I took it from here and spitting image of rich. Thank you so much, that's so kind. Can you give us a way of a lay? And we just got here and I didn't realize so many people are going to be here and everyone I swept in this sweater. That's awesome. You took the Red Eye in or took the Red Eye? Am your trooper fresh day? I just told great, I'm the hardest working person in this room, literally seriously, like, well, have you heard about Prime Steakhouse? I heard everyone's going there and stay until six am. That's to go every night. And last night we were bumping in the Matt Lafleur. I was next to Wes Welker, who's a Patriots Like she had to like touch his eyebrows. Well, I did look at them up close. But Graver here was kind of standing around like a little schoolgirl like trying to like duck around and ask people for you know, he didn't ask anything. Always does that, no photos, But I did ask Matt Lafleur about a failed fourth down call. You did how many freaking whiskey geners were you deep at that point? Three year four? Yeah, we had gone to a place and then got a bottle of wine at Harry and Izzy's. Okay, So this is the vibe of Combine. It's like yes during the day and then we booze at night. Yeah, and then you smooze, you smooze, smooze. Who's who's your number one schmooze target? My number one target? Mm is billy boy going to be here? You're not? He doesn't, he doesn't have Josh McDaniels used to be me and him in an elevator one time we got to chat. That would be so uncomfortable. I wouldn't want it was pretty. It was pretty crazy, It was pretty weird. It's pretty. It was uncomfortable too, because I was like, Hey, let me ask you this, if there's one tip that you can give me to survive Combine, because I've never been here before. Clearly I'm not prepared. You look right, I'm in I look like I'm in a trench coat, Like I said, Ricky Hollywood is wearing rich eyes and spinstripe suit. It goes down to about her knees, way too big, and I thought it was like the like the oversized look, and I'm just great, I know I need you, don't. You have people like wardrobe people that can help. Absolutely. I just didn't realize that I would have stax because I need all the help. I'm no, sorry, that's prevent I go to Paxson and I'm like, this looks cool. One tip to combine. One tip to survive water. Um, do you know what liquid I v is? Oh? Have it all the time? Okay, stock up on that. Okay, yeah, crush it. Okay, jesus, you guys are really painting a picture of unprofessionalism. Think does anyone listen to this? Like I think maybe four people, but if one of them is like my mom and the other ones my brother, okay, that's cool. But like bosses, unfortunately, maybe we're in the early phases. So okay, that's good. A lot of Yeah. I mean, we talked about this on split Ens, we talked about it on a t N. It's the vibe and we're going to ride. Okay, hold on, hold on, let's let's work. Okay, we're gonna move this. This is a precursor for this episode. If you were a boss, skip ahead to about ten minutes in. Put that at the top of the episode. Now let's roll it. Cool boom, Just keep hard. Prop up on your note cards, Um, study up, love your pal, Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. That was a beautiful little guest spot. Are people just gonna come through like a car wash here? Everyone's just kind of sitting around chatting. This is this is a fun vibe so far. Okay, So I'm alcohol poisoning is on the agenda this week. I'm just getting it. Don't drink right, not at work? Not at work obviously, no, but it does feel like everyone's having a little fun time calling Wolf is in front of us. Hey we need she said. She yelled, hey, you guys can't hear it. She's not ignoring us. That actually say hi? Um okay, So where was I the flight? The woman on the flight with the light. There were so many faux paus on this flight. Also, when I tried to get into I was a window seat. I'm a window seakal uh. And the guy didn't move, just like you can hop on over, and I was like, no, I'm not giving you a lap dance on this full light. It is twelve am in the morning. He ended up moving. He was also dressed like a Winning the Pooh. He was like a teenager, so he was probably come on over. He was just like Winning the Poop and I was like, I don't have time for you, sir. And then his mom yelled at him. She's like, that's out of the seat. She's gonna climb over you. And then I took my shoes off. So everyone was committing a foul. Everyone's committing a foul. I Later this morning, we're at Combine, really excited to be here. Really just like feeling the vibes in the room. I don't think there's any athletes in here, but there's like an excitement. It's like the biggest day of these guys lives outside of the draft, and they really have to show up and perform. We are going to be doing the Wonderlick test later on in this episode, which is now defunct, and it really makes no sense that we're doing it, but this is actually just to prove that it doesn't make sense because I'm not gonna get at it and it's like, why do we have a wonder Like, So, anyways, we're gonna be doing that later in the pod. But first things first, what is happening this week? Junkyard dog Kyler Murray, in my opinion, is being a little bit of a gigantic baby. So a couple of weeks ago, he cleared his Instagram of like every single Cardinals content possible. I think he even unfollowed them. I think he's following like two people. Now he's being a baby. That's kind of where I thought it was gonna end. It was like, Okay, he's like sending a message. That's fine. On Valentine's Day, I think people had a weird reaction to him clearing his Instagram. On Valentine's Day, he posted a picture of him in a Cardinals uniform on Instagram and he said, blah blah blah blah blah, all of this nonsense is not what I'm about. Judge me if you want, if you want, but like this is you know, people who have played with me know who I am. Okay, So he was just like not about the nonsense. And then this week or last week or whatever day it is, in the postseason. I've totally last track of time. It was February, so like literally week and a half later, his agent puts out literally a five thousand word essay which is it's giving me you know that meme that's like, I'm not reading this, but good for you. Sorry, it's giving me very much that energy. Like no one is reading all of this. My favorite, my favorite coach, and Syrianni's coming on the stage to do split ends with these people. Oh my god, they get a good guess and we get absolutely nobody. We got Ricky Hollywood. That's fine. Yeah, I know we We've specifically asked for nobody. I don't want to talk anybody. Okay, So this is what the comments about people lots of energy just walking around Brabel's conty that press conference. Do you mind if I can actually just go listen? Or are you kidding me? Wow? I mean you can't. Is he the love of your life or what? Yeah? I mean he's a hunk, He's yeah, he's a he's a powerful dude. I met him on the red carpet. He was like, hey, justin, how does he know you are? I've introduced myself. Hold on, I just lost you can't. Okay, real big, you can't just say you can't say anything like that. Um. Okay, so Rabel knows who Graver is good for you, that's a big win for you. Um. Back to Kyler Murray and this statement. He let's not even read it the only thing. Okay, hold on, polist my eyes like I had to literally open it in a different app and zoom in to read it. Scroll down a little bit. Okay, So Eric Bernhardt Berkhart is his agent literally in bold, and like the fifth paragraph that says, actions speak much louder than words in this volatile business. Guys, what are we doing here? Literally read maybe you should read the damn email that you sent. It's just Larry Fitzgerald's father. By the way, we need to have some kind of dad alert because we talk about players dads so much on this podcast. Dad alert, I will make a drug. Let's make that yeah happening. Larry Fitzgerald's father came out and said Kyler spoiled, and you know what, I kind of agree with him, Like what all of this like hubbleabou hubbolulu whatever the freaking word is, Why don't you just show up and play and be better? And you're not having this conversation, then absolutely your team is going to step up and give you a franchise down or whatever the hell you're asking for. I love that this statement like goes through like all of Kyler's like individual stats. I know, this was a team that had two wins before he showed up, and now he's a two time pin bowler in a couple of years. The only franchise in the NFL to have improved by three or more wins in each of the last three seasons. Embarrassing. Well, that's like not that impressive, actually, because that means you went from three to six to nine, Like what about going from three to ten? You give me look at Joe Burrow situation, And of course I'm gonna pay you, but it just gives me very much like spoiled. I hate to call somebody a brat because I got called brat very many times when I was a young child. That kind of scarred me. But he's giving me Rachel Bannetta early brat face, and um, you know, it's really reminding me of Okay, if rabeles a really hard on Mike, what's that dude? How are you doing? Um, we're podcasting, I'm a big Titan. So he just rolled his eyes. Oh, Justin, Justin, Mike, this is crazy. I'm not I'm a Titans. Well come on, don't don't come at me. It's documenting, that's true. Actually, you're right. Somebody tells me. Someone tells me he's been talking to people. Yeah, okay, so Rabel, just um, can we can we put featuring Rabel on this podcast? With Mike Rabel in parentheses? And it's how amazing that you literally just said you guys were friends and you had to reintroduce. That was amazing. I hope that you guys can hear what just happened. Um, Justin just got embarrassed on the bunch with a P. I did say he knew my name? He really didn't, not a really thirty seconds ago. A real big fan of that guy. Love rebel. Um. Okay, this is a great podcast so far. Okay, the last thing I'll say about Kyler Murray is he's he is. Um, what did you guys have in the United States? Ao L Messenger? What was the thing? Aim? Okay, so we had something called MSN Messenger in Kannada and um, you used to when I was in high school, you used to put your boyfriend's name in your um, you know, handle or whatever it's called. Like I used to have like Matt Field and hearts shut out Matt Field, my first boyfriend. I used to have it like, you know, his name and hearts, and then when he pissed me off, you know, I'm signed on and deleting it to send a message. This is giving me Matt Field energy, you know. And it's just so it's just it's just also very embarrassing. So um, and Steve Kim said here at the combine, here's real news that they are absolutely picking up Kyler's fifthier options. So why don't you guys have those conversations behind closed doors and then we can skip all of this count sense because it just I just don't think I know what they were trying to do. Their turns down a message, and I think that it just really backfired on them, and now everyone's just kind of like, oh, this is so awkward. Um okay. And then the next thing that I want to talk about, hot goss. We need to have a hot gass section because we are the it's been proclaimed we are the national Enquirer of the NFL. Hot gosses that Shanley and Woodley and Aaron Rodgers were seen together at Ari Juan, if you are not from Los Angeles, you absolutely do not know what Arolin is. I didn't know how to say it, so I could absolutely be butchering it eerie one. Um, anyways, it's like a really bougie grocery store. It's like more expensive than whole foods. Like we were joking in our group chat, raspberries on sale or four and they might not even be organic. Like it's just got to say, I love going, I love Alin All easily dropped seventy five on three items. Um, but anyways, they were seen together. Aaron Rodgers was paying for Shaney Woodley whatever they got, and you know that's sensitive, and you know he's fronting for his girls, so that I mean, like that's a sign of love. You know, Len has got her own money. She doesn't mean no man paying for her divergent money. But here's what I'll say. Here's what I'll say, honey, Lene, if you're listening to this podcast, because I know you know she'd probably I could see her listening to this podcast. We keep up with her life, so she must keep it with this is going to say featuring like Rayball, So why wouldn't she click into that? Um, don't do it. Don't get back together with Aaron Rodgers. You broke up with him. It didn't work out because you weren't down with his football schedule. And this next few months is going to be all a mirage. It's not real. This is the offseason, baby. If you can't handle me at my on season, then you don't deserve me. Would Aaron retire for her? I could? I mean we already kind of think that he's going to retire, right. So if that's the case, if he's promising her a ring and a retirement, a ring in a reenhirement, then yeah, then get back together. But if not, honey, run away. Maybe that's why they're hanging out because she knows something that we don't know yet. Also, I just feel like it's such a waste. How can you be in love with Aaron Rodgers and not be a football fan? Like you were missing out on so many things that make him, you know, attractive and to so many people. Justin Grammer has a huge crush on Aaron Rush as we know that, and my Grandball just all the all the football people. Um So, anyways, running the opposite direction is what we were telling Shanlee Woodley. That was the National Enquirer section of our show. Okay, coming up after this break, I am going to be taking the wonder Lick test and full disclosure, I dropped out of college and barely passed high school. So here we go. Baby.

So there's all these different things that these guys have to do famously at the combine that you know are a little bit silly. They have to get their hands measure, they have to bench press, like we're literally sitting beside the bench press area and like so funny to make many times could point five I could drop it out pretty well? I have. Yeah, I would really excel at hurting myself. Um, but one of the most outstandingly bizarre things that they have to do usually is take a wonderlock test, which they do not have to do anymore, but I think it's kind of testing their i Q. I have done this before when I was at Fox Sports hosting a show called Block it In. We all did the wonderlock test and I cheat it because I didn't want to look like an idiot, and um, I wanted to beat the other guys. So this is me genuine guys, this isn't genuinely trying this. Oh crap. The time already started only a five minutes after. Okay, refresh, We're gonna We're gonna, um, you know, do some of these questions. But if it sucks, they need to cut it out. In the leap here. How many days does February have? What does this have to do with football? Eight days? A leap here? Oh crap, justin, don't help me, don't help me. Oh no, the bill is four three and you pay with a twenty dollar bill. How much did you get backame changed? No, I can eat these questions. Okay, I'm not gonnat math the bill? Oh my god, another one. The bill is for nineteen fifty six and you pay fifty dollars and one cent? How many change did you get? Or thirty two? How many exact pairs are there? Are you hitting me? Which number comes next? In this series? Eleven three and two thirds? I failed ninth grade math? Guys, I can't do quick math? How many duplicates? Like? Are you serious this question? Okay? A football field is a hundred yards and this is just now a football football? Okay, we found we found a question that makes sense. Okay minus forty one plus thirteen equals are the following two words similar, contradictory or not related, enhance an entrance not related? Oh another math one? Screw this, I'm skipping through these ones because it's I'm gonna say. Twenty three Are the following two words similar, contradictory or not related, detest and despise similar Right, a turkey was cooked up? Okay, we're halfway there? Divided by three Nope, which following list of odd numbers totals fifty six. This is dumb, I'm looking. I'm clicking through these, like why would guys playing football have to know all of this math? How versus six is close? Same, opposite? Similar? Literally? Guys, all it sounds is healthy versus sick is r O Y G B I V stands for colors of the rainbow, types of trees, the size of atoms, the seasons roy g BIV. Did you learn this in school? Roy gbiv? Brett orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet? And what does that have to do with football? Choose the word that doesn't belong pool, ocean, river, lake, pool, I can get that one. No, another math one. Okay, we have four more questions. Another math one? No skipping and oven can cook three thin crust pizzas in an hour? This is gonna be math again. How many continents are there? You know? No? Three? Continent? Him? Not seven days? Okay? Sales tax is six percent? Any buy a shirt for twel How much do you? I don't know? Nope, not right, okay. From the list below, select all of the words that could properly complete the sentence. The car blank over the road, the car runs over the road. I think there's two. The car ran over the road. Okay, guys, the car is not running nice. Oh my god, what did we do? Okay? I got them right. That's pretty good. You're The average score is and is fifty. Don't don't throw the math back in my face. Imagine if it says you are legally an idiot and that was the Wonderli test. Nice, So we can all agree that that should have been in the trash along time ago. Yes, Vince Young would have had a great NFL career if not for bombing the Wonder Like, but guys, it's actually crazy, Like these guys show up and they are so stressed out to lift weights and run a forty and get their ger's measured. Could you imagine also having like, you know, brush up on your calculus, mental math, mental math? How how many you know pizza crust do you have? What are we doing here? Be what happening? I would feel really crappy about that. And then you're walking away being like, oh wow, I'm adem down like I'm feeling right now. You shouldn't feel that way, Oh dear Grever, it's fine. Um okay, let's talk about what is the best thing I saw or heard this week leading up to the combine? The phased Um okay, So Packers Twitter tweeted out they're gonna be in London, They're gonna play a game in London, And I am telling my boss that I want to go. I'm putting that request in now. I've never been to London before. I will absolutely take Junkyard Dog, absolutely take Mohan. That would be such a riot. Mohan, by the way, for all our listeners, not an Indian shout outs, Mohan is at home, not in Indianapolis. He's got other things to do that are apparently better than awesome. Miss radio Row missed the combine. We miss Mo. We always miss me when he's not here. But it's okay. He's a busy boy. Um Packers. Twitter tweeted out that they're going to London. They had this picture of all of these players on Abbey Road, no Aaron Rodgers and no Davante Adams. Interesting, very interesting. My question is who makes this graphic. It's not like Brad Goody Kunts is like, hey, let's put out a type. That's the general manager. He's not like, hey, put out a graphic and make sure you leave off these. It's like the PR team is like putting this thing together and they don't know that graphic gave the social media team such stress, anxiety, such stress about that because they're like, should be should not even such a good idea of having a graphic, but like, what are we gonna But I also remember last year, um when Aaron Rodgers like well will he won't he come back? There was also some social media things like oh our first home game is um on you know x y Z and either there they did post a picture of Aaron Rodgers and that's what caused all of the right or something like that too. Um. So the social media team is really playing with fire these days. Yeah, they could just not put out a graphic, but if they're going to put one out, they can't include players that are that they just don't know, because like by the time that game gets here, they want to use that graphics. Or do they pull like a Kyler Murray asked situation and put Aaron Rudgers in that graphic and they're like, this is the message that we just put them in the graphic and then if the guys aren't there next year, do the graphic. I gotta say, being a social media manager of a sports team in the age of in our you know, the Year of Our Lord, is got to be a really stressful situation because you got there's so many good social media's for teams nowadays, like the voices you're hearing yelling in the background, is okay, Nick Serriani, Ricky Hollywood calling involve putting a chill out. They're yelling really loud. You guys. This has been really fun so far, Like everyone's just kind of like hopping around. I'm hiding in the corner still. So that was interesting that we saw. Another thing, is um my guy Baker Mayfield healing up? Yes, apparently on the end, looking good, feeling good. Uh. He recently said that he was going to get off Twitter, which I think there's nothing better that he could have done. He is not a guy that should be on social media, and um, I think we're all better for not being on social media, but him specifically, I think he's just so sensitive and listens to what everyone says and just feeds off of that in the wrong way. I too much negativity, much negativity, I think, um guys, and oh my god, the unprofessionalism coming out of the trend to take the past. You know, we've got a podcast to that other people listen to. Do I want to call in your podcast? I guess return the favor? Is it on camera? Okay? Any? Wow? Okay, we'll wrap this up. The shots fired Um, okay, So we're at Combine. We're what Colleen, what'd you say you are doing? Oh? Get out of my hair and something my mom would have said, get out of my hair. Um. So we're at the come in mine, We're hanging out. I'm going to drink a lot of liquid I V S. We're going to get through this week. Justin Graver is gonna meet Mike Frable again and he's not gonna know who he is, guaranteed. You imagine twenty minutes from now, Hey man, what's your name? Uh? This was a really fun episode feature in Ricky Hollywood, Mike Rabele and Colling Wolf just got in there for a second and we saw Nick's Arianni. I wonder who else we're gonna see this week? Um, junk Yard Dog? When do you head home Thursday afternoon? Why am I the only one that's here till Monday? I don't understand why. Like, I am so grateful to have been sent here and have this experience, But wouldn't it be cool to stay for the on field stuff? Yeah? Hello, knock knock, who's there? Not Graver?

They are what we thought they were. You played to win for days. They want you to cook the dinner. At least I ought to let your shot for some of the grocery. And on the way up, we're gonna buy a knee cap all playoffs. I'm just here so I won't get fine. How could you not be romantic about football? Are we allowed to raise your voice or no? Yeah? Okay, So should I just start? Yeah? Just leave all this and welcome to bench with Bonetta. Guys. We are in Indianapolis. Um, and for the longest time, I thought it was Minnianapolis and Indianapolis. So that's close to bar that we're starting. Upon arrival to Indiana, guys, were at the combine. We are sitting in front of a rabel. I see was met with Florin here a second ago. Yeah, cool, good talk. We're at the combine. Were like kind of huddled in the corner because I did not realize there was going to be so many people here today. So your girl showed up in the sweater, she slept in no makeup. I did wash my face and brush my teeth, so we do have that going for us. But um, your girls looking a little rough. People are looking at me and they're like, she's definitely hungover. And I'm not to be fair, I mean, did you even sleep? Last was a red Eye? Okay, I'm the hardest working person in this room, that's true. I am definitely the most hired. But speaking of the red Eye, Um, there is no easy way to get to Indianapolis, and so I chose to be on Reddy because I just wanted to get it over and done with and I didn't want to be on a layover. There was a girl in front of me, um, who had her light on the entire time, which is pretty much the worst thing a human being can do on a red Eye. On red that's so disrespectful to literally everybody around you. Who's this? Do you not realize we're doing something professional? We're doing a podcast, so you are what do you think we're doing? Just sitting over in the corner holding microphones. I thought you were on what's it called chat roulette over here? What are you even? What are you wearing? Wearing an oversize rich eyes and suits actually striped jack. I didn't get the wig like you do with mooch, but um, yeah, you know I took it from here and spitting image of rich. Thank you so much, that's so kind. Can you give us a way of a lay? And we just got here and I didn't realize so many people are going to be here and everyone I swept in this sweater. That's awesome. You took the Red Eye in or took the Red Eye? Am your trooper fresh day? I just told great, I'm the hardest working person in this room, literally seriously, like, well, have you heard about Prime Steakhouse? I heard everyone's going there and stay until six am. That's to go every night. And last night we were bumping in the Matt Lafleur. I was next to Wes Welker, who's a Patriots Like she had to like touch his eyebrows. Well, I did look at them up close. But Graver here was kind of standing around like a little schoolgirl like trying to like duck around and ask people for you know, he didn't ask anything. Always does that, no photos, But I did ask Matt Lafleur about a failed fourth down call. You did how many freaking whiskey geners were you deep at that point? Three year four? Yeah, we had gone to a place and then got a bottle of wine at Harry and Izzy's. Okay, So this is the vibe of Combine. It's like yes during the day and then we booze at night. Yeah, and then you smooze, you smooze, smooze. Who's who's your number one schmooze target? My number one target? Mm is billy boy going to be here? You're not? He doesn't, he doesn't have Josh McDaniels used to be me and him in an elevator one time we got to chat. That would be so uncomfortable. I wouldn't want it was pretty. It was pretty crazy, It was pretty weird. It's pretty. It was uncomfortable too, because I was like, Hey, let me ask you this, if there's one tip that you can give me to survive Combine, because I've never been here before. Clearly I'm not prepared. You look right, I'm in I look like I'm in a trench coat, Like I said, Ricky Hollywood is wearing rich eyes and spinstripe suit. It goes down to about her knees, way too big, and I thought it was like the like the oversized look, and I'm just great, I know I need you, don't. You have people like wardrobe people that can help. Absolutely. I just didn't realize that I would have stax because I need all the help. I'm no, sorry, that's prevent I go to Paxson and I'm like, this looks cool. One tip to combine. One tip to survive water. Um, do you know what liquid I v is? Oh? Have it all the time? Okay, stock up on that. Okay, yeah, crush it. Okay, jesus, you guys are really painting a picture of unprofessionalism. Think does anyone listen to this? Like I think maybe four people, but if one of them is like my mom and the other ones my brother, okay, that's cool. But like bosses, unfortunately, maybe we're in the early phases. So okay, that's good. A lot of Yeah. I mean, we talked about this on split Ens, we talked about it on a t N. It's the vibe and we're going to ride. Okay, hold on, hold on, let's let's work. Okay, we're gonna move this. This is a precursor for this episode. If you were a boss, skip ahead to about ten minutes in. Put that at the top of the episode. Now let's roll it. Cool boom, Just keep hard. Prop up on your note cards, Um, study up, love your pal, Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. That was a beautiful little guest spot. Are people just gonna come through like a car wash here? Everyone's just kind of sitting around chatting. This is this is a fun vibe so far. Okay, So I'm alcohol poisoning is on the agenda this week. I'm just getting it. Don't drink right, not at work? Not at work obviously, no, but it does feel like everyone's having a little fun time calling Wolf is in front of us. Hey we need she said. She yelled, hey, you guys can't hear it. She's not ignoring us. That actually say hi? Um okay, So where was I the flight? The woman on the flight with the light. There were so many faux paus on this flight. Also, when I tried to get into I was a window seat. I'm a window seakal uh. And the guy didn't move, just like you can hop on over, and I was like, no, I'm not giving you a lap dance on this full light. It is twelve am in the morning. He ended up moving. He was also dressed like a Winning the Pooh. He was like a teenager, so he was probably come on over. He was just like Winning the Poop and I was like, I don't have time for you, sir. And then his mom yelled at him. She's like, that's out of the seat. She's gonna climb over you. And then I took my shoes off. So everyone was committing a foul. Everyone's committing a foul. I Later this morning, we're at Combine, really excited to be here. Really just like feeling the vibes in the room. I don't think there's any athletes in here, but there's like an excitement. It's like the biggest day of these guys lives outside of the draft, and they really have to show up and perform. We are going to be doing the Wonderlick test later on in this episode, which is now defunct, and it really makes no sense that we're doing it, but this is actually just to prove that it doesn't make sense because I'm not gonna get at it and it's like, why do we have a wonder Like, So, anyways, we're gonna be doing that later in the pod. But first things first, what is happening this week? Junkyard dog Kyler Murray, in my opinion, is being a little bit of a gigantic baby. So a couple of weeks ago, he cleared his Instagram of like every single Cardinals content possible. I think he even unfollowed them. I think he's following like two people. Now he's being a baby. That's kind of where I thought it was gonna end. It was like, Okay, he's like sending a message. That's fine. On Valentine's Day, I think people had a weird reaction to him clearing his Instagram. On Valentine's Day, he posted a picture of him in a Cardinals uniform on Instagram and he said, blah blah blah blah blah, all of this nonsense is not what I'm about. Judge me if you want, if you want, but like this is you know, people who have played with me know who I am. Okay, So he was just like not about the nonsense. And then this week or last week or whatever day it is, in the postseason. I've totally last track of time. It was February, so like literally week and a half later, his agent puts out literally a five thousand word essay which is it's giving me you know that meme that's like, I'm not reading this, but good for you. Sorry, it's giving me very much that energy. Like no one is reading all of this. My favorite, my favorite coach, and Syrianni's coming on the stage to do split ends with these people. Oh my god, they get a good guess and we get absolutely nobody. We got Ricky Hollywood. That's fine. Yeah, I know we We've specifically asked for nobody. I don't want to talk anybody. Okay, So this is what the comments about people lots of energy just walking around Brabel's conty that press conference. Do you mind if I can actually just go listen? Or are you kidding me? Wow? I mean you can't. Is he the love of your life or what? Yeah? I mean he's a hunk, He's yeah, he's a he's a powerful dude. I met him on the red carpet. He was like, hey, justin, how does he know you are? I've introduced myself. Hold on, I just lost you can't. Okay, real big, you can't just say you can't say anything like that. Um. Okay, so Rabel knows who Graver is good for you, that's a big win for you. Um. Back to Kyler Murray and this statement. He let's not even read it the only thing. Okay, hold on, polist my eyes like I had to literally open it in a different app and zoom in to read it. Scroll down a little bit. Okay, So Eric Bernhardt Berkhart is his agent literally in bold, and like the fifth paragraph that says, actions speak much louder than words in this volatile business. Guys, what are we doing here? Literally read maybe you should read the damn email that you sent. It's just Larry Fitzgerald's father. By the way, we need to have some kind of dad alert because we talk about players dads so much on this podcast. Dad alert, I will make a drug. Let's make that yeah happening. Larry Fitzgerald's father came out and said Kyler spoiled, and you know what, I kind of agree with him, Like what all of this like hubbleabou hubbolulu whatever the freaking word is, Why don't you just show up and play and be better? And you're not having this conversation, then absolutely your team is going to step up and give you a franchise down or whatever the hell you're asking for. I love that this statement like goes through like all of Kyler's like individual stats. I know, this was a team that had two wins before he showed up, and now he's a two time pin bowler in a couple of years. The only franchise in the NFL to have improved by three or more wins in each of the last three seasons. Embarrassing. Well, that's like not that impressive, actually, because that means you went from three to six to nine, Like what about going from three to ten? You give me look at Joe Burrow situation, And of course I'm gonna pay you, but it just gives me very much like spoiled. I hate to call somebody a brat because I got called brat very many times when I was a young child. That kind of scarred me. But he's giving me Rachel Bannetta early brat face, and um, you know, it's really reminding me of Okay, if rabeles a really hard on Mike, what's that dude? How are you doing? Um, we're podcasting, I'm a big Titan. So he just rolled his eyes. Oh, Justin, Justin, Mike, this is crazy. I'm not I'm a Titans. Well come on, don't don't come at me. It's documenting, that's true. Actually, you're right. Somebody tells me. Someone tells me he's been talking to people. Yeah, okay, so Rabel, just um, can we can we put featuring Rabel on this podcast? With Mike Rabel in parentheses? And it's how amazing that you literally just said you guys were friends and you had to reintroduce. That was amazing. I hope that you guys can hear what just happened. Um, Justin just got embarrassed on the bunch with a P. I did say he knew my name? He really didn't, not a really thirty seconds ago. A real big fan of that guy. Love rebel. Um. Okay, this is a great podcast so far. Okay, the last thing I'll say about Kyler Murray is he's he is. Um, what did you guys have in the United States? Ao L Messenger? What was the thing? Aim? Okay, so we had something called MSN Messenger in Kannada and um, you used to when I was in high school, you used to put your boyfriend's name in your um, you know, handle or whatever it's called. Like I used to have like Matt Field and hearts shut out Matt Field, my first boyfriend. I used to have it like, you know, his name and hearts, and then when he pissed me off, you know, I'm signed on and deleting it to send a message. This is giving me Matt Field energy, you know. And it's just so it's just it's just also very embarrassing. So um, and Steve Kim said here at the combine, here's real news that they are absolutely picking up Kyler's fifthier options. So why don't you guys have those conversations behind closed doors and then we can skip all of this count sense because it just I just don't think I know what they were trying to do. Their turns down a message, and I think that it just really backfired on them, and now everyone's just kind of like, oh, this is so awkward. Um okay. And then the next thing that I want to talk about, hot goss. We need to have a hot gass section because we are the it's been proclaimed we are the national Enquirer of the NFL. Hot gosses that Shanley and Woodley and Aaron Rodgers were seen together at Ari Juan, if you are not from Los Angeles, you absolutely do not know what Arolin is. I didn't know how to say it, so I could absolutely be butchering it eerie one. Um, anyways, it's like a really bougie grocery store. It's like more expensive than whole foods. Like we were joking in our group chat, raspberries on sale or four and they might not even be organic. Like it's just got to say, I love going, I love Alin All easily dropped seventy five on three items. Um, but anyways, they were seen together. Aaron Rodgers was paying for Shaney Woodley whatever they got, and you know that's sensitive, and you know he's fronting for his girls, so that I mean, like that's a sign of love. You know, Len has got her own money. She doesn't mean no man paying for her divergent money. But here's what I'll say. Here's what I'll say, honey, Lene, if you're listening to this podcast, because I know you know she'd probably I could see her listening to this podcast. We keep up with her life, so she must keep it with this is going to say featuring like Rayball, So why wouldn't she click into that? Um, don't do it. Don't get back together with Aaron Rodgers. You broke up with him. It didn't work out because you weren't down with his football schedule. And this next few months is going to be all a mirage. It's not real. This is the offseason, baby. If you can't handle me at my on season, then you don't deserve me. Would Aaron retire for her? I could? I mean we already kind of think that he's going to retire, right. So if that's the case, if he's promising her a ring and a retirement, a ring in a reenhirement, then yeah, then get back together. But if not, honey, run away. Maybe that's why they're hanging out because she knows something that we don't know yet. Also, I just feel like it's such a waste. How can you be in love with Aaron Rodgers and not be a football fan? Like you were missing out on so many things that make him, you know, attractive and to so many people. Justin Grammer has a huge crush on Aaron Rush as we know that, and my Grandball just all the all the football people. Um So, anyways, running the opposite direction is what we were telling Shanlee Woodley. That was the National Enquirer section of our show. Okay, coming up after this break, I am going to be taking the wonder Lick test and full disclosure, I dropped out of college and barely passed high school. So here we go. Baby.

So there's all these different things that these guys have to do famously at the combine that you know are a little bit silly. They have to get their hands measure, they have to bench press, like we're literally sitting beside the bench press area and like so funny to make many times could point five I could drop it out pretty well? I have. Yeah, I would really excel at hurting myself. Um, but one of the most outstandingly bizarre things that they have to do usually is take a wonderlock test, which they do not have to do anymore, but I think it's kind of testing their i Q. I have done this before when I was at Fox Sports hosting a show called Block it In. We all did the wonderlock test and I cheat it because I didn't want to look like an idiot, and um, I wanted to beat the other guys. So this is me genuine guys, this isn't genuinely trying this. Oh crap. The time already started only a five minutes after. Okay, refresh, We're gonna We're gonna, um, you know, do some of these questions. But if it sucks, they need to cut it out. In the leap here. How many days does February have? What does this have to do with football? Eight days? A leap here? Oh crap, justin, don't help me, don't help me. Oh no, the bill is four three and you pay with a twenty dollar bill. How much did you get backame changed? No, I can eat these questions. Okay, I'm not gonnat math the bill? Oh my god, another one. The bill is for nineteen fifty six and you pay fifty dollars and one cent? How many change did you get? Or thirty two? How many exact pairs are there? Are you hitting me? Which number comes next? In this series? Eleven three and two thirds? I failed ninth grade math? Guys, I can't do quick math? How many duplicates? Like? Are you serious this question? Okay? A football field is a hundred yards and this is just now a football football? Okay, we found we found a question that makes sense. Okay minus forty one plus thirteen equals are the following two words similar, contradictory or not related, enhance an entrance not related? Oh another math one? Screw this, I'm skipping through these ones because it's I'm gonna say. Twenty three Are the following two words similar, contradictory or not related, detest and despise similar Right, a turkey was cooked up? Okay, we're halfway there? Divided by three Nope, which following list of odd numbers totals fifty six. This is dumb, I'm looking. I'm clicking through these, like why would guys playing football have to know all of this math? How versus six is close? Same, opposite? Similar? Literally? Guys, all it sounds is healthy versus sick is r O Y G B I V stands for colors of the rainbow, types of trees, the size of atoms, the seasons roy g BIV. Did you learn this in school? Roy gbiv? Brett orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet? And what does that have to do with football? Choose the word that doesn't belong pool, ocean, river, lake, pool, I can get that one. No, another math one. Okay, we have four more questions. Another math one? No skipping and oven can cook three thin crust pizzas in an hour? This is gonna be math again. How many continents are there? You know? No? Three? Continent? Him? Not seven days? Okay? Sales tax is six percent? Any buy a shirt for twel How much do you? I don't know? Nope, not right, okay. From the list below, select all of the words that could properly complete the sentence. The car blank over the road, the car runs over the road. I think there's two. The car ran over the road. Okay, guys, the car is not running nice. Oh my god, what did we do? Okay? I got them right. That's pretty good. You're The average score is and is fifty. Don't don't throw the math back in my face. Imagine if it says you are legally an idiot and that was the Wonderli test. Nice, So we can all agree that that should have been in the trash along time ago. Yes, Vince Young would have had a great NFL career if not for bombing the Wonder Like, but guys, it's actually crazy, Like these guys show up and they are so stressed out to lift weights and run a forty and get their ger's measured. Could you imagine also having like, you know, brush up on your calculus, mental math, mental math? How how many you know pizza crust do you have? What are we doing here? Be what happening? I would feel really crappy about that. And then you're walking away being like, oh wow, I'm adem down like I'm feeling right now. You shouldn't feel that way, Oh dear Grever, it's fine. Um okay, let's talk about what is the best thing I saw or heard this week leading up to the combine? The phased Um okay, So Packers Twitter tweeted out they're gonna be in London, They're gonna play a game in London, And I am telling my boss that I want to go. I'm putting that request in now. I've never been to London before. I will absolutely take Junkyard Dog, absolutely take Mohan. That would be such a riot. Mohan, by the way, for all our listeners, not an Indian shout outs, Mohan is at home, not in Indianapolis. He's got other things to do that are apparently better than awesome. Miss radio Row missed the combine. We miss Mo. We always miss me when he's not here. But it's okay. He's a busy boy. Um Packers. Twitter tweeted out that they're going to London. They had this picture of all of these players on Abbey Road, no Aaron Rodgers and no Davante Adams. Interesting, very interesting. My question is who makes this graphic. It's not like Brad Goody Kunts is like, hey, let's put out a type. That's the general manager. He's not like, hey, put out a graphic and make sure you leave off these. It's like the PR team is like putting this thing together and they don't know that graphic gave the social media team such stress, anxiety, such stress about that because they're like, should be should not even such a good idea of having a graphic, but like, what are we gonna But I also remember last year, um when Aaron Rodgers like well will he won't he come back? There was also some social media things like oh our first home game is um on you know x y Z and either there they did post a picture of Aaron Rodgers and that's what caused all of the right or something like that too. Um. So the social media team is really playing with fire these days. Yeah, they could just not put out a graphic, but if they're going to put one out, they can't include players that are that they just don't know, because like by the time that game gets here, they want to use that graphics. Or do they pull like a Kyler Murray asked situation and put Aaron Rudgers in that graphic and they're like, this is the message that we just put them in the graphic and then if the guys aren't there next year, do the graphic. I gotta say, being a social media manager of a sports team in the age of in our you know, the Year of Our Lord, is got to be a really stressful situation because you got there's so many good social media's for teams nowadays, like the voices you're hearing yelling in the background, is okay, Nick Serriani, Ricky Hollywood calling involve putting a chill out. They're yelling really loud. You guys. This has been really fun so far, Like everyone's just kind of like hopping around. I'm hiding in the corner still. So that was interesting that we saw. Another thing, is um my guy Baker Mayfield healing up? Yes, apparently on the end, looking good, feeling good. Uh. He recently said that he was going to get off Twitter, which I think there's nothing better that he could have done. He is not a guy that should be on social media, and um, I think we're all better for not being on social media, but him specifically, I think he's just so sensitive and listens to what everyone says and just feeds off of that in the wrong way. I too much negativity, much negativity, I think, um guys, and oh my god, the unprofessionalism coming out of the trend to take the past. You know, we've got a podcast to that other people listen to. Do I want to call in your podcast? I guess return the favor? Is it on camera? Okay? Any? Wow? Okay, we'll wrap this up. The shots fired Um, okay, So we're at Combine. We're what Colleen, what'd you say you are doing? Oh? Get out of my hair and something my mom would have said, get out of my hair. Um. So we're at the come in mine, We're hanging out. I'm going to drink a lot of liquid I V S. We're going to get through this week. Justin Graver is gonna meet Mike Frable again and he's not gonna know who he is, guaranteed. You imagine twenty minutes from now, Hey man, what's your name? Uh? This was a really fun episode feature in Ricky Hollywood, Mike Rabele and Colling Wolf just got in there for a second and we saw Nick's Arianni. I wonder who else we're gonna see this week? Um, junk Yard Dog? When do you head home Thursday afternoon? Why am I the only one that's here till Monday? I don't understand why. Like, I am so grateful to have been sent here and have this experience, But wouldn't it be cool to stay for the on field stuff? Yeah? Hello, knock knock, who's there? Not Graver? Well, a couple other podcast guys will stay stick around with you. So okay, well, recording another podcast, UM, guys has been so fun and also I am really enjoying doing this podcast.
