All of a sudden silence on the radio, John, would you care to respond?

How?

How?

Don't give a damn what McShay says. I mean, I think I think guys that are in what I like to do, I think if they're true to themselves, I just they know how they feel about guys. And I mean, you know, I'm I'm pretty straightforward. I'd like to think about the guys and what I think about them and how they'll be as you know, a Viking, a Patriot and whatever.

And I'll give you my thoughts.

I'm not blowing smoke here, but I think you have a number of advantages over a lot of these guys. Number one, you played football. That's a pretty good help there. You played, you played in college playing is good. Another one is you live here in the building. And I think that the amount of football players that we get in contact with and just being around him, I mean even you know, getting a drink with them, not a adult beverage, but a beverage in the in the dining room or something. There's just little stuff that you notice and you see them grow up, and I think you have a different perspective than guys who are in their basement just grinding on film all day, which you know can give you a lot of information.

I get it. But you know you've lived the game in a way that a lot of these guys have.

I get it. But you know you've lived the game in a way that a lot of these guys have.

It's one of the things that I like to think. And I when I'm at the Senior Bowl, it's good because I see these guys up close and personal. Yeah, but you know, six five three zho five can be three. You can have three different guys in front of you six five three oh five and you look at them all go, that guy over there can fit in our locker room.

Practice you watch, I mean every single practice. Yep, you're on the field every game. You know, melk Hypers not on the field every game.

Yep.

Yep.

So good for him, but great for you. You've got great perspective on this stuff. But it also goes back to the inexact science of it all. You know, you and these gms, I mean, they have unbelievable information and access and nobody gets it right.

You got injuries, You've got outside factors. You've got the love of money, the love of the game or lack of the love of the game. And I think it all you just never know. I the one that always stands out to me. There was a linebacker from Wake Forest and he was the number two of all peck can remember what year. His name was Aaron Curry, and I remember watching him and I wasn't alone. I was like, that's the safest pick in his draft, Like, without a doubt, Aaron Kurry, that linebacker.

What he does, He's all round.

He rushes, he plays the run, he sets the edge, he drops and coverage like he does everything.

He rushes, he plays the run, he sets the edge, he drops and coverage like he does everything.

And he didn't last in the league four years. So why why was that? Exactly? And that's kind of the point.

And he didn't last in the league four years. So why why was that? Exactly? And that's kind of the point.

And eventually it was like three or four years later he wrote an article. I think it's for the Player's Tribune, and he talked about he had money for the first time in his life. He no longer like saw the pursuit of playing the game. It just didn't interest him as much as it did when he was trying to be a top pick so he could make money, and he realized he was set for life. He went to wake for US. I think he was a finance major, so if I remember correctly, and he was set, he was done, and so in his mind, it just didn't drive him every day. Football didn't drive him, and he was out within four years. And so you know who he works for now, Aaron Curry? Yeah, who? The New York Jets. Aaron Glenna Hier linebackers coach. Yep, that's awesome. How about that? That's very cool. I do remember I didn't have that ready. I looked that up. It's pretty cool. But I think what's cool about that is the fact that at some point you come back around to it, you realize, Okay, when you're in the throes of it as a player, maybe you don't respect it and you appreciate it, and then you step away from you you're like, man, holy cow.

Of their discussion with the media on Monday, it basically was there's a high standard here. We're looking to set that every single day, and we want guys in this building that will approach that standard and set that standard for everybody else that walks in this building. We're very proud of what we have built and what we want to continue to build, and there could be no better members of this organization than those three to get up there and spread that word, spread that that standard.

In fact, we'll talk with Henry Toatoya a little later in the show and he's he mentions that as well. It's a really fun conversation with Henry that you'll definitely want to listen to as well, So don't miss that. Stick around for that. But that's what I took out of it, Mark that we do things this way. If we're bringing you in here for the draft, this is going to be expected whether you have it already and this WILLOK sentuate it, or you don't have it and we're.

I mean, I'm looking at Will Anderson Junior up at the podium today and I'm thinking, thank god we have Will Anderson Junior. Ye think about the start to his career because you drafted him third overall, and I'm old enough to remember Mario Williams number one overall, a Genevian Clowney, number one overall, and Will Anderson Junior is off to the kind of start they dreamed about in his first two years. You know, Mario had a great second year, I get it, and look Cloudy had all sorts of talent.

Those two guys.

Those two guys.

Both of them were hampered by some injuries, but willis played banged up and Will has put together some numbers, defensive Rookie of the Year, and then look what he does last year with Danil on the other side. My goodness, I'm so excited about year three. And he's such a veteran now, and I'm thinking, geez, this thing flies by, doesn't it.

Hey, two years ago Draft Week Monday, we didn't even know what the Texans were gonna do. They didn't know they were gonna have both of those guys. Now those guys are headed into year three. Wow, we thought there was a chance for one of them. Yeah, yeah, because remember I was one of them. I was gonna bring this up last year. I mean my memory after the two twenty twenty two draft when they took Stingley and Kenyon Green in the first round, and I remember Clinton Ron talking about this, this Will Anderson junior guy. Next year, he's got to be the number one overall pick. This guy's sensational, blah blah blah. And that's how a lot of people felt. And I bring that up because I thought, yeah, that's gonna be interesting.

But I don't know if we're going to.

But I don't know if we're going to.

Be bad enough to get a guy like Will Anderson junior because we won't draft that high, but well, the Texans were kind of bad enough to do that. But number two overall pick, and then Nick moves up to number three and gets will Anderson Junior. Amazing And speaking of the number two overall pick, CJ. Stradup up at the podium today, My goodness. You know he's headed into year three. He's got the experience now, the way he answers questions and you're not gonna get him on anything. He had fun too, talking about the Rockets and Golden State Game and all that stuff. But he was asked about Bobby Slowick in his relationship. You could not have answered that question any better than he did. It was real masterclass stuff for a guy who's handling himself at the podium now, like a twenty seven year old veteran who's been around for a long time and been the multiple Pro Bowls. He's only going into year three. He's still really a pup when you look.

What is he gonna be twenty three, twenty four years old? Yeah, my gosh. And it goes back to I know I point this out from time to time because I think it's worth pressing that gratitude button and saying thank goodness, we have a quarterback. It just look at all the teams that are starving aching for a quarterback, and the Houston textan have.

The crew at Bleacher Report chest some pretty good dudes. Brandon Thorn does their offensive line. They get some guys to do it. They were asked a few different questions that they turned into bold predictions. Okay, okay, So want to start with this one. I just want to get your thoughts. I'm gonna I'm gonna hit these. And there's one in particular, because you and I were actually talking before the show about this individual. This is called the most surprising pick. Okay, one says Ashton Genty to the Jaguars. I would not like that, and I don't. I don't think that's too surprising. Now, all indications are the Jaguars are going to trade out at number five, but if they stick and stay, apparently Ashton Genty is one of the players they're considering, the All American Heisman runner up from Boise State.

I would not like that.

How many teams draft a running back in the first round in twenty twenty one, and then they'll come back four years later and draft another running back in the first.

How many teams draft a running back in the first round in twenty twenty one, and then they'll come back four years later and draft another running back in the first.

After drafting Bigsby in the second.

After drafting Bigsby in the second.

I think, oh, Bigsby's a second I think he was a second and he's their guy now.

I think, oh, Bigsby's a second I think he was a second and he's their guy now.

Really Etn Etn, I think there's a trance at Etn could be traded, especially if they take Genty. I think they could try and trade Etn. They might just have to release him after that. What are they gonna get. They're not They're not gonna get much. I mean Etn is just he's uh big, he's a third. Yeah, he's a third.

Really Etn Etn, I think there's a trance at Etn could be traded, especially if they take Genty. I think they could try and trade Etn. They might just have to release him after that. What are they gonna get. They're not They're not gonna get much. I mean Etn is just he's uh big, he's a third. Yeah, he's a third.

Still pretty high for a running back that I don't think that's too much of.

Still pretty high for a running back that I don't think that's too much of.

A bold prediction.

A bold prediction.

I mean, I think it could be surprised, a surprising pick, maybe most surprising pick, next one, Raiders selection or Sanders sixth overall, I could see that. My mock for or my comp for Chador is Gino Smith, so I could see that.

I mean, I think it could be surprised, a surprising pick, maybe most surprising pick, next one, Raiders selection or Sanders sixth overall, I could see that. My mock for or my comp for Chador is Gino Smith, so I could see that.

Well, he'd have to wait because you're paying Gino. But the hope is that Chador plays or back doors so well that you give him an opportunity, and then you have that problem. And Pete Carroll's been through with you know, Matt, Matt Flynn before.

Well, he'd have to wait because you're paying Gino. But the hope is that Chador plays or back doors so well that you give him an opportunity, and then you have that problem. And Pete Carroll's been through with you know, Matt, Matt Flynn before.

That's right, that's right, he has been through it, Matt Flynn before.

That's right, that's right, he has been through it, Matt Flynn before.

Here's one wide receiver one will be a Mecca Abuca in the draft most surprising pick. A Mecca Abuca is wide receiver one. That's a bold prediction. Is he the right safest wide receiver pick? And I think that might be why people now it depends on how you classify Travis Hunter. I mean, he's kind of both ways. But if you're talking to is like pure receiver, take Travis out of it. He's take Travis Horn. You've got Ted McMillan. You've got a Mecca Buca, golden golden. A Mecca Buka is going to be wide receiver one. Yeah, I don't know. That's a that's a fairly hot take. I have read some people saying Abuca falls all the way out of the first round. I'm like, exactly, I was gonna just watch that happened to me and my mock, And when I do my mock, I'm trying to fit a team need and best player available and all that kind of stuff. I couldn't find a spot for him. Wow, I couldn't find a spot because I knew that with Zabel on the board, I wanted Zabel for the Texans.

Here's one wide receiver one will be a Mecca Abuca in the draft most surprising pick. A Mecca Abuca is wide receiver one. That's a bold prediction. Is he the right safest wide receiver pick?

I couldn't find a spot for him. Wow, I couldn't find a spot because I knew that with Zabel on the board, I wanted Zabel for the Texans.

So I took Zabel at twenty five.

So I took Zabel at twenty five.

Because if he was able to go off the board, I would definitely consider it a Mecca a Buka. I absolutely would have, but I had Golden off the board, had McMillan off the board.

Because if he was able to go off the board, I would definitely consider it a Mecca a Buka. I absolutely would have, but I had Golden off the board, had McMillan off the board.

So to me, this is kind of a wild take.

So to me, this is kind of a wild take.

And yet to your point, I think it might be the safest on the board, and so that therefore he goes wide receiver one, a Mecca Buka wide receiver one that would be surprising. Is no doubt New Orleans Saints reach for quarterback Jackson Dart at number nine. So I'm gonna ask this at the draft party. It's not us, it's the Saints. I get it. But if the Saints are to take Jackson Dart in front of Shador Sanders, I gotta think it's a talking point for the next hour. Absolutely, I think it's a talking point for the entire draft of the next drop is officially on. Now he's just speculated, it's hypothesized. I mean, he could end up going to Cleveland for all we know. But if he slips by the Saints, then who's gonna take him without a team moving up, It's not gonna be the Bears, forty nine, Ers, Cowboys, Dolphins, Colts. Maybe maybe cold Ballard was asked today at his press conference about it, and he didn't dance around, and he said, yeah, if a quarterback's there, do we like, we'll take him. Not doesn't mean he's gonna take him, but he's not shying away from it.

This smart thing to say. It's a great thing. Now teams can wheel and deal and you know you gotta say it. You gotta say it now.

This smart thing to say. It's a great thing. Now teams can wheel and deal and you know you gotta say it. You gotta say it now.

Yeah, he can be like, he's not disrespecting Daniel Jones or Anthony Richardson by saying it. It's not like Nick Cassio saying, oh, yeah, we'll take.

Yeah, he can be like, he's not disrespecting Daniel Jones or Anthony Richardson by saying it. It's not like Nick Cassio saying, oh, yeah, we'll take.

I mean, it's a foreign competition in Indianapolis, so competition between two or three guys. So there you go, another surprising one the Giants. Now on the flip side, the Giants select Shador Sanders with the third overall pick, the closer we get to the draft, and you know, I've felt this way for a while. Yeah, I've been convinced that that Schador is not going in the top three. And if he doesn't go in the top three, the next kind of filter net is at nine with the Saints and just kind of reading some.

Of the things about the Saints this weekend.

Of the things about the Saints this weekend.

I don't get the feeling that they have Shador in their sights and so I don't think it's there. So to me, the Giants selecting Shador Sanders I would be equal parts. Yeah, they need a quarterback, I guess, even though they've got Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston. On the flip side, I can't believe he went this high, So I'm kind of that one. I from a surprise factor, I think I would be more surprised than not if he goes to the Giants.

So wait, more surprising the Giants take him, or that the Saints take Dark Oh he slips, which is more surprising. I think the Giants taking them is not that surprising. Somehow they talk themselves into it. We're gonna get fired, and says Joe Shane and Brian Dable, we better just take a quarterback and roll the dice. Even though we have Russell Wilson, he could end up playing and at least getting nurtured under Russell Wilson. Maybe he plays the back half of the season. I'm not going anywhere, so let me go conspiracy theorist. What you remember HBO's Hard Knocks offseason last year, right?

So Shane's son is gonna say, you don't have to draft Sanders?

No, what does John Merris say?

No, what does John Merris say?

He says, don't embarrass me, because when Shane kind of poo pooed the idea of bringing back Saekwon Barkley, John Mayra was like, look, man, this is the guy that the fans all love, and it would be the one guy that hurts me. And then he goes for over two K and they win a Super Bowl in Philly.

Yeah, Like, I gotta think.

I don't know John Marra.

I don't know John Marra.

I've met John Marra, though we actually talked about Westchester County and stuff like that because I grew up there. Anyway, this does not give me insight into John Merris's thoughts about Sanders. I just thought a name drop right there and minored in name dropping. But I got a feeling he doesn't feel that way about Shador Sanders. Do the fans feel that way in New York about Shador Sanders? I don't think so.

You know, for a while, it was like maybe they did. They did, so they reached on Daniel Jones. Are they going to reach on Sanders again? You're gonna reach on a quarterback again? Now I know it's years later, but it's not gonna feel good at the moment. Now, maybe it all works out, but you don't know. We're talking about draft day feelings here, Okay, biggest draft day trade.

Cam Horsley is Steven's tackle, donovs Roku Pete Kendall son. Remember Pee Kendall played at BC ninety three. I think it was his son. Drew Kendall is a center as a Trapillo. Steve Trapillo's son plays right tackle. H that's four, I know for sure. That might be a couple others that might be like five or six. Come on, BC, good job finished six and six, so you know, uh, But here here are their hottest Here their hottest draft draft takes. Yeah, the Cleveland Brown should trade down from one from number two overall, but won't.

But still they won't trade down because is there a trade worth trading down? Two to tangle, I don't like these the the right Well, you should trade down.

The Texans should trade down.

Yeah, but you gotta have you give us the partner. Yeah, who's the partner. Who's the partner that wants to go back up? That's that's the other one. Despite all the valid concerns surrounding him. Should her Sanders is absolutely worth the risk in the middle of the first round, middle of the first round.

Yeah maybe. I guess here's the thing.

Yeah maybe. I guess here's the thing.

If you go in the middle of the first round, or you go middle of late first round, you're better off because you're going to a better team. You would think you might be the piece they're not, and you've got things surrounding you already. They don't have to build it up and you don't have to carry the team. That might be better for Shadure more running backs and tight ends going round one than quarterbacks.

And wide receivers.

That's that's wild to think about, because I could warm running backs and tight ends because you have two tight ends, at.

Least in the fact Warren Lovely may maybe get a third, but.

Least in the fact Warren Lovely may maybe get a third, but.

Two running backs gent for sure and genty for sure, probably a Marion Hampton and maybe Travon Henderson. So your Joe Mixon look like yep, I think wide receivers.

Two running backs gent for sure and genty for sure, probably a Marion Hampton and maybe Travon Henderson. So your Joe Mixon look like yep, I think wide receivers.

You're gonna get three.

You're gonna get three.

You'll get Travis, You'll get t mac get Golden and maybe one more. Put it with Cam Woden. That's a pretty good one, though, I think it's still going to go the other way.

You'll get Travis, You'll get t mac get Golden and maybe one more. Put it with Cam Woden. That's a pretty good one, though, I think it's still going to go the other way.

So if you're the Browns of the Giants and Travis Hunter's right there, and you like him, but what do you like him for?

So if you're the Browns of the Giants and Travis Hunter's right there, and you like him, but what do you like him for?

Are you really planning on? Now?

Are you really planning on? Now?

I know you like this idea, but maybe they don't. So does that take them out of picking him because they may not use him? On about hot take? Here Hunter drops out of the top five. Oh, that's five sizzled fires. That's five You've lost your hot take mind. Okay, I've lost my HoTT an athlete. But will he play the way I want him to? I think he's a defender. No, I think he's a receiver.

No.

No.

I don't want him to play both sides, right, I don't want him doing this right? It makes practice a nightmare. This is the NFL. We don't score around like this. That's right, all right, I'm just croating Team X here, whoever that might be.

That's right.

That's right.

Patriots pass on him. I think the Jacks. There's no way he gets by the Jags. There's no fuel, there's no way he gets by the Jacks. I mean the Jags just say, well, we're gonna take him and playing Matt wide receiver. You're to sellick tickets and take the top offs. Exactly right, that's exactly right. But who played both ways with the Patriots? Mike Rabel.

Extensively extend some play stuff. I'm fine with that part of it. I just don't know if I want to play in you know, thirty snaps here, thirty snaps there.

Extensively extend some play stuff. I'm fine with that part of it. I just don't know if I want to play in you know, thirty snaps here, thirty snaps there.

Here's the way I would approach it. This means something to you, right, Yeah? I sit him down and say this means something to you. Yeah, I want to play both sides. Then here's what I expect. You're going to learn the playbook or whatever side we like. Your home your home is offense, right, but you were going to put in additional hours to learn the defense. You want to do this you're gonna put an additional hours on defense and you're not playing full on that second side of the ball.

However you want to.

However you want to.

Do a defense or I'm not a coaching expert. You are, but I feel it's not easier. But I feel like you got to live on defense and sprinkle it in on all I think. I think that's opposed to living on offense and sprinkling in defense.

Do a defense or I'm not a coaching expert. You are, but I feel it's not easier. But I feel like you got to live on defense and sprinkle it in on all I think. I think that's opposed to living on offense and sprinkling in defense.

That's the way I would go. Okay, that's the way I would go. The way I would go is like with us, as I've said, he would be my number two or three wide receiver. Yeah, so there's a certain package that he would have, and then he would be my nickel. He would go outside in nickel situations and Kamari would bump inside. So he doesn't play full time on either, but he plays like sixty to seventy five percent on both. Now the onus is on him, on him to make sure he knows what the hell he's doing. He's not going out on that field if he doesn't know what he's doing.

I just feel like, you know, it's the NFL. Man, you got I know so much tape. I know in college you can smoke by guys, you know you're playing against.

It's a different dude, I will admit in, Guys, I've studied in what he can do. Like you watch him at his best at both positions. You're like, damn, he's wide receiver one and CB one in the same day.

It's a different dude, I will admit in, Guys, I've studied in what he can do. Like you watch him at his best at both positions. You're like, damn, he's wide receiver one and CB one in the same day.

And how many Jersey retirement questions as he could have to answer? That was ridiculous, by the way, so easy to call it. They're so stupid, it's so dumb. I look, they retire numbers way too quick in sports.

Anyway.

Anyway.

Did you hear what Dion said? We gotta wait for them to die before we retire their number. You get out of dodge, stop man. Yeah no, I mean I don't know. Dion has not looked great in this whole situation.

He is not.

He is not.

He opened his mouth and he's contradicting himself all over the place exactly. Not not good whatsoever. This is one, uh final hot take. This will be just the third time since twenty twelve that four or fewer offensive linemen will be drafted in the first round. That's one that's from Brandon.

Thor feel that way. Even if there's a run, I.

Thor feel that way. Even if there's a run, I.

Think there's a run, I think there has to be a run mark every single team. So I'll just do this because I haven't pulled up because I was doing a mock draft simulator.

Think there's a run, I think there has to be a run mark every single team. So I'll just do this because I haven't pulled up because I was doing a mock draft simulator.

This is on.

This is on.

This is pff pff. When you do mock draft simular, they give you the needs for each team. Okay, So with each pick, number three, Giants need to tackle. Number four, Patriots need to tackle. They need guards to the Raiders need to tackle, the Jets need to tackle. The Saints could use offensive line interior. The forty nine Ers could use guard and tackle. Cowboys could use the guard Grays I'm sorry, Dolphins guard tackle Falcon, the Colts guard Falcons, center, Cardinals guard, Bengals guard, Seahawks center guard, Broncos center, Pittsburgh tackle. Obviously, we know what we need here offensive line here in Houston. I mean, there is no way they're gonna be at least five. At least five they're gonna go, right and that I just got through twenty five. I mean I didn't even get through the rest of them. But the Ravens could use the guard. After losing John Simpsons to the Jets, they they've needed a guard.

So there are.

So there are.

Too many that need offensive linemen that yes, the offensive Lineman is draft are flawed. I understand that, and I'll be the first one to tell you that, And that's kind of the way I've felt about this group. But there is still still a lot that you can gain by drafting Kelvin Banks, Junior Arma, Membu, et cetera, even a guy like Josh Simmons. And I know that Simmons has been kind of rumored to not be as swarmy as some of the others, but I just feel like, after watching the Eagles and watching what the Eagles did, you'd be hard pressed to go up now.

We don't want to look like that.

What.

What.

No, They've drafted offensive lineman year after you after and it works.

No, They've drafted offensive lineman year after you after and it works.

Yeah, so it works, and it works Based on what you just said, I agree with you. Yeah, I've got a sting. You gotta rate this one real quick. Okay, cornerback. They're gonna draft one with their first One of their first four picks will go to a corner. The Houston Texans and Nick could be trading, so maybe one of those picks ends up in the fourth round. But I'm telling you, I think they need depth of corner I just have a gut feel on this.

Yeah, so it works, and it works Based on what you just said, I agree with you. Yeah, I've got a sting. You gotta rate this one real quick. Okay, cornerback. They're gonna draft one with their first One of their first four picks will go to a corner. The Houston Texans and Nick could be trading, so maybe one of those picks ends up in the fourth round. But I'm telling you, I think they need depth of corner I just have a gut feel on this.

I don't think you're wrong. So I'm gonna say three and a half. Okay, three and a half because remember last year at this point, what would we have said. If you were like, they're gonna take tackle in the top two rounds. I would have had you probably committed at that point because you were just completely.

But that was an early indicator that they were gonna blow this thing up if it didn't work.

You want to know something when that pick happened with Blake Fisher, that's exactly what went on in my brain.

Yeah. I didn't say it. I didn't say overall time, but I was like, did you said? Look, you can kind of see it. He'll play right tackle eventually.

Three sleeps Tuesday, Monday night, tuesdnight. Wasn't that yeah? Three more sleeps until it is draft time. Texans sitting at number twenty five for now, we'll see whether they stay, could go up. I wouldn't mind going down get some more draft capital, but that's just me. I like having more draft picks. That just makes it to me more exciting. But either way, can't wait for it. Thursday night, seven o'clock, we have all access from six to seven, and then kick it off at seven o'clock right there.

Oh, I'm taking it to a completely different area.

Oh, I'm taking it to a completely different area.

She's going to my stomping grounds and learning where I'm from and what I do. But she's from Hawaii. Yeah, so she's from the beautiful island hawaiis. She's from the town she's from. It's called La Yeah. So it's a small town about small population, but the community, the culture there is really really strong.

Yeah. Wait, where'd you two meet? She's crazy story. I met her on FaceTime.

She was my sister's best friend and I called my sister one day and then she thought I was somebody else but then lo and behold, I work my magic and did my thing. So different kind of Yeah, it was different, kind of but it wouldn't know how people fighting day in these days.

But it was a it was from a family, so So when you get back home, what's it like with your boys?

But it was a it was from a family, so So when you get back home, what's it like with your boys?

People that know you, friends, family, they just treat you like Henry's been here.

Man, we know him, he's our But.

Man, we know him, he's our But.

Is it like, oh, he's this big football star now at the NFL.

What's it like when you go?

What's it like when you go?

Oh, Man, when I'm back home, I'm just a regular Joe. My mom don't treat me different. My boys don't treat me different, you know. And I think that's just a testament to my circle. I keep my circle super small, just with people that I love. Probably out of all the friends I have in high school, I really don't think I chilled with any of them, and it's all family members that I'm really really close with. So when I go home and I'm kicking back doing what I want to do, doing my boys want to do, it's nothing different. But like obviously going to football camps and speaking of children here and there, it's a different story. But when I'm with my family, man, I think that that's the time where I'm able to just you know, do the dumb stuff that I want to do that I can't do in public today that when somebody records me and do something stupid, but when I went my boys and my family.
