Aaron Rodgers did not get

2:48
ask Aaron Rodgers. Hear what the four-time
2:50
NFL MVP had to say about a
2:52
wild week at one Jets drive and
2:55
how they can turn things around starting
2:57
Monday night against the Bills. Minshew
3:00
Mania is over in Las Vegas.
3:02
And, you know, at least for
3:04
this week, we'll tell you why
3:06
Antonio Pierce is giving the ball
3:08
to Aiden O'Connell instead. There's
3:10
no quarterback controversy in Minnesota. No game
3:12
for the Vikings this week either. But
3:14
we still track down one of their
3:16
defensive stars to find out what PG
3:18
rated nineties movie Cam Bynum might salute
3:20
in the end zone next. And
3:23
I suggest Encino man.
3:25
Welcome inside with the
3:27
insiders alongside Ian Rappaport,
3:29
Judy Batista and Mike
3:32
Garifolo. I am Tom
3:34
Pelissero. We are here on the
3:36
eve of week six already in
3:38
the NFL kicks off with a
3:40
good one in Seattle. Tomorrow night,
3:42
it's the Seahawks against the 49ers.
3:45
Week six will wrap up on
3:48
Monday night at MetLife Stadium with
3:50
an AFC East showdown. And
3:52
the Jets are going to have a new
3:54
head coach. As we discussed yesterday, Robert Solla
3:57
is out after three years and five games.
4:00
As the Jets head coach leaving behind a 20 and 36
4:02
record, Jeff
4:04
Ulbrich taking over on an interim
4:06
basis and will make his debut
4:08
against the Bills. A lot
4:11
of tweets, a lot of reports, a lot
4:13
of rumors, a lot of badly sourced information
4:15
flying around the internet. Aaron
4:17
Rodgers, where else went on the Pat
4:19
McAfee show to try to separate fact
4:21
from fiction? Yesterday
4:25
was a day that
4:27
reminds you of the simple fact
4:29
that all of us who played know all
4:31
too well. And that's that it's a
4:33
tough business. It's a beautiful profession. It's
4:36
incredible. It's done so much for our lives,
4:38
but it's also a really
4:40
tough business. I
4:43
love Coach Salah. We have
4:45
a very solid relationship. We
4:47
have since, you know, I met him
4:49
in 2021 and
4:52
had a nice conversation when they came
4:54
and visited us for joint practices. He
4:57
was a big reason why I came to the
4:59
Jets. You know, I felt like the
5:02
team, you know, was a solid
5:04
team, had a relationship with Coach Hackett
5:06
obviously, and I really liked Coach
5:09
Salah. Everything that Matt LaFleur said about him, the
5:11
few interactions I've had, the times that we
5:13
went against him, I
5:15
just had a lot of respect for him. And so, you
5:19
know, it was just a reminder yesterday how tough the business
5:21
is. Judy,
5:23
you've covered the New York Jets for a long
5:25
time. And in that time, you've seen a lot
5:27
of coaching changes, but not one here,
5:29
not after a two and three start, five
5:32
games into a season that began with a lot
5:34
of expectations that so far, it's early, but so
5:36
far, fair to say that they've fallen a little
5:38
bit short. When you hear what Aaron Rodgers had
5:40
to say, and he had a lot more to
5:42
say than that, what are your takeaways? Well,
5:46
first of all, I've covered stranger coaching changes at
5:48
the Jets than this, but one
5:51
thing that we didn't hear on that
5:53
clip was that he denied, flatly denied,
5:55
that he had anything to do with
5:57
Salah's firing. And he said he, presented
6:00
the implication that he would have had anything to
6:02
do with it. He did say,
6:04
though, that there needed to be changes, that something
6:06
had to change. He said, you know, the definition of
6:09
insanity is doing the same thing over and over again
6:11
and expecting a different result. And
6:13
he said he thought the key to a
6:15
turnaround at this point was player accountability, which
6:18
is a theme he has struck in the
6:20
past few weeks. He also said he knows
6:22
he did not play well, that he needs
6:24
to play better. And then I thought the
6:26
most interesting thing he said was that he
6:28
was on board with whatever Jeff Albrecht
6:30
wants to do with the offense, which
6:33
is definitely not a full-throated
6:36
endorsement of Nate Hackett as the
6:38
play caller. Now, Albrecht is
6:40
going to start tomorrow. He will meet
6:43
with the media. He met with the
6:45
media yesterday on a video conference call.
6:48
But he said on that conference call
6:50
that the staff
6:52
will stay intact, but maybe the job responsibilities
6:54
will change. So we will see what he
6:56
comes up with. But certainly, I thought that
6:59
opened the door, Rogers opened the door
7:01
there, to him saying, like, whatever
7:03
he wants to do with the offense, I am on
7:06
board with, and we're going to throw our support behind
7:08
Jeff Albrecht. So his theme
7:11
was he is all in.
7:13
He certainly still has a
7:15
great relationship with Hackett.
7:17
But it seems clear that he
7:19
is prepared, everybody is prepared,
7:21
for a shakeup for the
7:23
offense. A lot of
7:25
signs pointing to Todd Downing potentially having at least
7:28
an increased role when it comes to the offense
7:30
this week. We'll see where it
7:32
winds up as we get closer to Monday night
7:34
in a game that if the Jets win, they
7:37
are tied for first place. We cannot say that
7:39
enough because a lot of folks who
7:41
would have supported Robert Salah would say, but they
7:43
had the chance to play themselves in the first.
7:45
Well, yeah, you know what? But now if Jeff
7:47
Ulbrich does it and Tom, you talked about it
7:49
the other night, a lot of times you see
7:51
that interim come in that first game. You get
7:53
that boost from the interim coach. If
7:56
you get that and you turn around, you go, oh my
7:58
goodness, we're in first place. And we've
8:00
got the momentum of just beating the team that was
8:02
in first place in the AFCs. All of a sudden
8:04
that energy can start to roll. So coach O'Brick, it's
8:06
not up there anymore. It was up there. Coach
8:09
O'Brick is what Rogers called him. He was brick when
8:11
he was the defensive coordinator. Now he's coach O'Brick, but
8:14
I would advise brick slash coach
8:16
O'Brick to keep that energy going because
8:18
that Ian is what Woody Johnson wants
8:20
to see from him as the interim
8:22
head coach. Yeah.
8:25
And you do sometimes see the interim comes in,
8:27
you get a little bit of a bounce and
8:29
the team kind of takes on a new identity.
8:31
We saw last year with the Raiders, which we're
8:33
going to get to in a second, but obviously
8:35
that's the hope. Some positivity, some energy for
8:38
the New York jets. You know, the storyline
8:40
of whether or not Aaron Rogers got Robert
8:42
Salah fired, which I also believe it definitely
8:44
did not happen like that at all. Mighty
8:46
of step didn't save them. I don't even
8:48
know because it didn't sound like Woody Johnson
8:50
had that conversation with him, but we will
8:52
never know. I don't know if any of
8:55
that matters. What matters is as Aaron Rogers
8:57
talked about on the Pat McAfee show, if
8:59
he played better, if the offense was better,
9:01
if it was not a stagnant, Robert Salah
9:03
would still be the head coach of the
9:05
New York jets right now. So all the
9:07
discussion of the energy and the new coach,
9:10
it's all good. It's all interesting.
9:12
We're going to see it play out. But
9:14
if this offense does not improve and you
9:16
know, Woody Johnson vowed changes, maybe
9:19
the changes that tied down and he's going to
9:21
get a little more involved. I would expect that.
9:23
But this often doesn't start functioning like a regular,
9:25
excellent Aaron Rogers offense. Then I don't know
9:28
that any of this is going to matter
9:30
in December and January, frankly. As
9:33
Mike said, a Jets win on Monday night would mean
9:35
they're tied for first place in the division. A
9:37
nationally televised loss after making the most significant
9:39
move that you can make beyond benching the
9:42
quarterback, which obviously going to happen. Yeah, there'll
9:44
be a lot of feeling of now
9:46
what a lot at stake for
9:49
the Jets in that game on Monday
9:51
night. As for Robert Solla, he did
9:53
put out a statement earlier today thanking
9:55
everybody within the Jets organization for their
9:57
love and support over the past three.
10:01
talked about the players, his fellow coaches
10:03
and staff. Also wrote to the most
10:05
passionate fan base in the NFL, thank
10:07
you for embracing my family. It has
10:09
been a pleasure calling New York our
10:11
home. We will forever appreciate all the
10:13
memories that were created here, signed with
10:15
love and regard, all gas, no break.
10:17
That slogan will be back somewhere in
10:20
the NFL sooner than later. Elsewhere
10:22
in the AFC East, the Patriots also trying
10:24
to create some type of sea change. By
10:27
the way, they're only one game back of
10:29
the Jets. The AFC East is kind of
10:31
a mess at this point. And they're going
10:33
to the rookie, the number three overall pick
10:35
Drake May, as Ian
10:37
first reported on Tuesday, Gerod
10:40
male today confirmed will get
10:42
his first NFL start on
10:44
Sunday at home against
10:46
the Texans. How about that, Drake May? Yeah,
10:51
now we're in week six. So you get
10:53
to add five games of sitting on sideline here
10:55
in the play calls, preparing for the game, prepare
10:57
for Thursday night game or preparing for a
11:00
Sunday night or Sunday afternoon game. So I
11:02
feel like we've bounced a lot
11:04
of different things throughout the week and how
11:06
to prepare and just trying to tag along
11:08
from Jacoby veteran this league, who's does
11:11
a great job of learn so much from
11:13
him and seeing how he goes about practice.
11:15
So that's been probably the best thing of
11:17
watching Jacoby and watching how he handles the
11:20
whole nine yards, whether it's preparing, handling teammates,
11:22
handling y'all and just
11:25
he's been great and a great mentor. Judy,
11:28
the book on Drake May coming out of
11:30
North Carolina was of all the quarterbacks those
11:33
top guys in the strap, he probably needed
11:35
to sit the most because he was coming
11:37
from that very rudimentary Tar Heels offense. He's
11:39
a super young guy, just a lot to
11:41
learn here. That lasted all the
11:43
five games and as Drad Mayo alluded to
11:46
today, just the athletic ability that he brings
11:48
to the table maybe opens up some things
11:50
that perhaps might let them play above the
11:52
level of some of the things that have
11:54
been going on around. Jacoby Bercet. I
11:58
actually thought Drake may handle. that idea,
12:00
the idea of, well, you can make
12:02
some off-schedule plays, which his own coach
12:04
put out there. I thought he handled
12:06
that like a veteran because he said,
12:08
well, I want to play on schedule.
12:10
I don't want to go hunting for
12:12
those off-schedule plays. You know, just let—I'll
12:14
just take whatever they give
12:16
to me, take whatever the defense is giving to them.
12:19
So I thought that showed a maturity.
12:22
Gerad Mayo was asked, like, how have you
12:25
seen him progress in these weeks that he's
12:27
been practicing? And he said, like,
12:29
getting the play, getting into the huddle, getting
12:31
out of the huddle, calling the
12:33
play, executing the play. So, yes, very basic
12:36
stuff, but very basic stuff that Drake May
12:38
had to get up to speed on. And
12:41
also Gerad Mayo was asked, you know, is this
12:43
team good enough for Drake May to get in
12:46
there, right? You've got issues on the offensive line.
12:48
You've got issues with the wide receivers. And he
12:50
said, not
12:52
every team has a number-one receiver. And
12:54
he said, Drake May will make us
12:56
better now and going forward. So
12:59
they're going to see how this goes. As Ian posted on
13:01
Twitter, as Ian first
13:03
posted on Twitter, the future is now
13:06
in New England. A phrase that I
13:08
feel like I've heard somewhere before. Is
13:10
the future also now in New Orleans?
13:12
Well, for at least this week, the
13:14
Saints are going to get a look
13:16
at their fifth-round pick, Spencer Rattler, the
13:18
former Oklahoma and South Carolina quarterback, who
13:21
have been number three on the depth
13:23
chart, getting the opportunity this week rather
13:25
than Jake Hainer, who had been the
13:27
backup quarterback for the first five games
13:29
of the season. Mike, this is potentially
13:31
a multi-game audition for Spencer Rattler as
13:34
the quarterback of the future. Derek
13:36
Carr is going to be down a while. Why Rattler? Well,
13:39
you've got the short turnaround time that you're alluding to
13:41
next week as they got that Thursday game. So two
13:43
games in the next eight days, I think now, because
13:45
today's Wednesday. Yeah, that's how it works. But
13:48
why Spencer Rattler? You know, it's interesting. I
13:50
think that's Alan that I said, he said,
13:52
for this particular, we talked about it for
13:54
this particular game against the Buccaneers. We felt
13:56
that Spencer Rattler was the right
13:58
option. I think they want Rattler to go
14:00
out there and play loose. And
14:03
he did in the preseason, right? He just
14:05
looked so in control, so
14:07
decisive in what he wanted to do
14:09
out there. Now granted, he
14:12
wasn't going up against Todd Bull's first
14:14
team defense when he was playing in the preseason,
14:16
but that game against the Titans, I remember watching
14:18
that one closely. And he
14:20
was playing with energy and he was playing as
14:23
if he had been there for 10 years
14:25
now. So they wanna kinda see if they can get that
14:27
same kind of vibe going. Get him to
14:29
play loose. We'll see. It's gonna be
14:31
a regular season atmosphere against a really tough defense. Good
14:34
luck Spencer, Rattler. The
14:37
future is now in New Orleans. I'm
14:39
just gonna keep cutting these promos just
14:41
in case we need those a little
14:43
bit later. Another quarterback change today. The
14:45
Raiders moving forward with a quarterback who
14:47
also was their past. Aiden O'Connell, who
14:49
took over last year right after Antonio
14:51
Pierce got the interim job. They bench
14:54
Jimmy Garoppolo, put AOC out there. He
14:56
performed pretty well. He led them to
14:58
some wins. They went with Gardner Minshew
15:00
out of the gate. But now after
15:02
a two and three start, it is
15:04
back to O'Connell. Ian, different style. Aiden
15:07
O'Connell is your classic pocket passer. Gardner Minshew,
15:09
for better or worse, is doing a lot
15:11
of things running around outside the pocket. Why
15:14
O'Connell and why now for the Raiders? Changing
15:18
things on offense, trying to find a spark
15:20
makes a lot of sense. And the reality
15:22
is Antonio Pierce is probably not the Raiders
15:25
head coach right now had Aiden O'Connell
15:27
not come on late in the season and
15:29
played really well. I don't think there's really
15:31
not much debate there. Now, Gardner Minshew wins
15:33
the job at a training camp. I think
15:36
the argument is they were very, very similar.
15:38
So go with someone who is veteran, who's
15:40
been there, who could hopefully lead you to
15:43
some early wins. Maybe start fast. And then
15:45
if you need to go to the younger
15:47
player later, you could do that. Didn't quite
15:49
work out that way. The Raiders do have
15:51
some wins, but they haven't exactly started fast.
15:54
And now it is back to O'Connell. The
15:56
upside is obviously a little more, you know
15:58
what Gardner Minshew is. You've seen Gardner Minshew. We
16:00
don't know what Aiden O'Connell can become. It
16:03
gets the ball out of his hands quick.
16:05
He makes smart decisions. We've seen him play
16:07
really good football. Could he become more than
16:09
someone who competes annually for a starting job?
16:11
It is very possible. The Raiders very, very
16:13
much hope so. We're going to
16:15
get our first chance to see it this weekend
16:17
for Las Vegas. Devontae
16:19
Adams strongly implied on that receiver show
16:21
that he at minimum co-signed on the
16:24
quarterback change last year when they went
16:26
to Aiden O'Connell. No, Devontae
16:28
Adams for the Raiders this week. Antonio
16:30
Pierce did say they had a good
16:32
conversation recently. We'll see exactly where things
16:34
go from here on the Devontae Adams
16:36
situation. It's also Wednesday. So we've got
16:38
injury reports around the NFL. Some notable
16:40
names. Russell Wilson, full participant in practice
16:42
because of a calf. Mike Tomlin had
16:44
said this was coming. That's the first
16:47
time since Russell Wilson re-injured that calf
16:49
before week one. He's been listed as
16:51
a full participant. So continuing to ramp
16:53
up even though Justin Fields at this
16:55
point remains QB1. Anthony
16:57
Richardson listed as limited still working his way
16:59
back from that oblique injury. Joe Flacco played
17:02
well. We'll see how his participation potentially ramps
17:04
up through the course of the week. Still
17:06
no Malik neighbors. He's been in concussion protocol
17:08
now for I believe 13 days one
17:11
to keep an eye on here. Great sign for
17:13
the Eagles. A.J. Brown, Devontae Smith both
17:15
missed their game before the bye. Full
17:18
participants today which would suggest they
17:20
are back. And as for the
17:22
NFL's leading receiver, Nico Collins officially
17:24
placed on injury reserve because of
17:26
that hamstring injury. That means he
17:28
is out a minimum of
17:31
four games. Coming up after
17:33
this one of the bright young stars
17:35
for a team that beat those Texans
17:37
back in week three handed Houston. It's
17:40
only lost Cam Bynum part of that
17:42
Vikings defense that played a
17:44
role in some of those changes for the
17:46
Jets this week. He joins the show from
17:48
the beach. I think right after this on
17:50
the inset. Banking

18:24
you a morning person? Or when
18:26
you roll out of bed, do you literally roll out
18:28
of bed? Listen,
18:31
mornings can be hard to handle. From the
18:33
moment you open your eyes, your responsibilities and
18:35
to-dos start piling up in your head. But
18:37
you know what helps? Yep,
18:39
a shower. But not
18:42
just any shower, a shower with Irish
18:44
Spring. Yeah,
18:46
as soon as you reach for the Irish
18:48

18:51
those to-dos are totally doable. Because
18:54
that crisp, fresh, unmistakable Irish Spring
18:56
scent zings your brain and awakens

your senses. So

19:05
37 minutes later, because let's be honest, you pay the
19:07
water bill so you can stay in there as long
19:09
as you want. You're ready
19:11
to take on the day. And smell great doing
19:14
it. Irish Spring

body wash and bar soap. Fresh,
19:18

21:22
Rogers blitzed again. He'll fire over the
21:24
middle. Intercepted! Yes! Picked off
21:26
at the 42-yard line
21:28
by Cam Bynum! And
21:32
for Cam, that's his second interception this
21:34
year. And this stadium, which is colored
21:36
in purple, has plenty of reason to
21:38
cheer. The Vikings have the ball
21:41
and a 10-0 lead. The
21:43
big stage in London, the
21:47
5-0 Vikings and a celebration for the
21:49
ages brought to you by this guy,
21:51
Viking Safety, Cam Bynum, a repeat guest
21:53
right here on The Insiders with me,
21:55
Tom Pelissero, Judy Batista. and
22:00
Mike Garofolo. Can we appreciate you being
22:02
here because I'm not mistaken. You're on
22:04
a bi-week vacation in Hawaii. What are
22:07
you doing there? Yep, I'm
22:09
on the beach right now. I'm just trying
22:11
to get away from football. I wish
22:13
I was doing this interview on the beach but there's
22:15
some kids running around. So I was like, let me
22:17
keep it professional and get in my hotel room. But
22:19
yeah, I'm happy to be here. Thank you guys for
22:21
having me. Kids running
22:23
around here too. Kids running around. We were on the
22:25
beach with you doing the interview. There's no rules
22:28
on this show. Yeah. Yeah. Let
22:31
me just start by asking, like, I don't know
22:33
if too many people, and I'll include myself in
22:35
this thought, the Vikings were going to start the season
22:38
5-0 and be the
22:40
story of the NFL. At
22:42
what point did you think you
22:45
might have had something special here with this team? I'm
22:48
obviously being a player. You
22:50
always know that you guys have
22:52
the confidence and you see the work that
22:55
you guys put behind the scenes. But really,
22:57
we knew it from the beginning. When you just look around
23:00
the team and see the weapons that we have on offense
23:02
and defense, it's hard to really find a weak
23:04
point on our team. So really
23:06
going through training camp, we would look at each
23:09
other and be like, OK, this has a little
23:11
different feel this year, just how
23:13
competitive practices were and how really looking
23:15
around and seeing the experience that we
23:17
have just through every single position.
23:19
We knew that there would be something special, but
23:21
it was a matter of, OK, can we make
23:24
it sustain? And here we are five weeks,
23:26
still haven't lost a game. And we know
23:28
that we have something special, but it's
23:30
only five weeks so far. We still have to get to 17
23:33
games then the postseason. So our mindset
23:35
is let's just keep stacking and keep
23:37
it rolling because 5-0 means nothing
23:39
in the big picture. Here's
23:42
what I love about when Cam Bynum's on the show. His
23:46
news tends to register in
23:48
non-sports outlets. You had the situation with your
23:50
wife last year trying to get her back
23:52
to the states, outlets all over the place
23:54
covering that one. And now this week, the
23:56
Us Weeklies of the world, the peoples of
23:59
the world. covering your parent
24:01
trap handshake celebration
24:04
after your interception. Take us through
24:06
the play if you want to,
24:08
we'd love to talk football, but also take us
24:10
through the celebration, the inspiration and
24:13
how you saw a movie that
24:15
really has been several iterations before
24:17
your time. So
24:19
yeah, I guess we'll start with the football part. I know that's
24:21
what the people want to hear. So
24:24
really being able to pick off Aaron Rodgers, that's
24:26
a big deal. And especially me being
24:29
a cow guy, went to my
24:31
college and somebody I look up to. So it's
24:33
been on my bucket list to go against him
24:35
and pick them off. So I was glad to
24:38
finally be able to get them. But now the
24:40
fun part, the celebration, that's something we've been planning
24:42
for a while this season. Our
24:45
goal is to really just have as much fun as possible.
24:47
We know the more plays we make, the more fun we
24:49
can have. So going through this
24:51
week leading up to it, I was getting a massage
24:53
and I was watching, I was on Disney Plus and
24:55
I'm like, okay, Parent Trap's one of my favorite movies.
24:58
I started watching it and I'm like, oh wait, they're
25:00
in London. Then I started doing
25:02
a handshake and I'm like, I got one. So
25:04
I knew it'd be a viral one. So I
25:06
tell my partner in crime, Josh
25:09
Mattelis, I said, hey, I got a celebration
25:11
for us this week. We're going viral and
25:13
people are gonna love this one, especially because
25:15
it's a legendary movie. And from 1998, the
25:17
year we were both born. So
25:22
it's a deep meaning for both of us.
25:24
So I'm like, we knew that this is
25:26
gonna be viral and this is gonna be
25:28
one of the celebrations that we have to
25:31
do. So, but it's not over.
25:33
We're gonna make more plays and get more celebrations out
25:35
there. There's
25:37
so many layers on which I love this
25:39
camp. One being you have the foresight to
25:41
go, we're going to London. Why don't I
25:44
put together a Parent Trap celebration? But you
25:46
still have to make the play to allow
25:48
you to do the celebration. You succeed in
25:51
that, but it's also the fact that, at
25:53
a time that every week there's players now
25:55
getting fined for pointing in a gun-like motion
25:57
and things like that. You
26:00
were going G-rated, you were going with kids'
26:02
movies. And so I gotta ask you, like
26:04
what, I know you probably got 10 different
26:06
things, but what's one thing you're cooking up
26:09
for a future celebration? I
26:12
don't know if I wanna tell you, but just
26:14
because this is the big moment, I'm
26:16
with you guys, I'll tell you
26:19
the next one, that'll be, I'm thinking of
26:21
Finneas and Ferb one, just for the newer
26:23
generation, still G-rated, but I can't
26:25
tell you the exact one from Finneas and Ferb,
26:28
but that's the one we have cooking up. And
26:30
when you see it, you'll know. And if you
26:32
guys, the kids are watching, they'll know exactly what
26:34
it is. But yeah, I need a G-rated because
26:36
my parents would still yell at me if I
26:39
do something crazy, like show a gun or whatever.
26:41
So I'm keeping it friendly out there. I
26:46
would just recommend maybe Peppa Pig for a future
26:49
one too. That was a favorite. I don't know
26:51
if her animations are good enough. I
26:54
mean, obviously
26:58
you gotta make plays on defense to
27:00
have the occasion to do all these
27:02
celebrations. Like you
27:04
guys have already taken apart like
27:06
CJ Stroud, Brock Birdie, obviously Aaron
27:08
Rodgers last week. Like why
27:11
is this defense so good
27:13
right now at confusing top
27:15
quarterbacks? I would
27:17
just say the fact that we have so many capable
27:20
players that are capable of changing the game.
27:23
Every week, coach Flo always talks about, I don't
27:25
know who's gonna make the play, but somebody's gonna
27:28
be making multiple plays. And I don't know who
27:30
it is gonna be this week or next week
27:32
or the week after, but somebody's gonna be the
27:34
person to have the big game, the game over
27:36
their life. And I think across
27:38
the whole board, every single player on
27:40
our defense is capable of having a
27:43
life-changing game. So the fact that we
27:45
have those types of players and on
27:47
top of that, we play team defense
27:49
and everybody just plays sound technique. Compared
27:52
to last year, we're not even doing as
27:54
much quote unquote crazy stuff as you guys
27:56
are used to seeing out of coach
27:59
Flo. really we're just
28:01
knowing that we have to come out there
28:03
and just play team ball and we'll start
28:05
making plays. So that's really the biggest thing
28:07
about it. We just have fun playing together.
28:11
Cam, it's October's Filipino Heritage
28:13
Month. You're a proud Filipino.
28:16
Tell us what it means to you to be
28:18
able to play football in that month. Like it's
28:20
great that it's an October during football season, not
28:22
like in May when you're doing OTAs or whatever.
28:24
Exactly. But tell us what this month means to
28:26
you. Yeah, just being able
28:28
to represent something. I first and
28:30
foremost represent God and just with
28:32
my platform and bring all glory to Jesus.
28:34
But being able to represent people that, especially
28:37
in sports, doesn't really see much light. As
28:41
Filipinos, we saw Manny Pacquiao and what he
28:43
meant to us and the way that I
28:45
looked up to him, even as a football
28:47
player. So if I'm able to represent some
28:49
people that really don't see much,
28:51
see themselves in sports very much, and I'm
28:54
able to be that example, it's an honor
28:56
and it's a blessing. So I really take
28:58
that serious, being able to show the flag
29:00
and just represent my people whenever I can,
29:03
because I've realized how big of a deal
29:05
it is for people, whether it's a popular
29:07
sport, like basketball, boxing
29:09
in the world, or for me, being
29:11
a Filipino playing American football, it's new
29:13
and it's different. But the way that
29:16
people support it and really feel
29:18
that sense of pride when they see me doing
29:21
something positive and any other Filipino doing something positive
29:23
in sports, it's a big deal. So I'm just
29:25
trying to be somebody, the kids, even the adults
29:27
can look up to you. I've
29:31
heard you say it before Cam, after celebrating
29:33
a big win, movie, right? Movie, that's all
29:35
about it, man. Your movie keeps getting better
29:38
and better. So just keep coming back, keep
29:40
celebrating, keep getting pics, man. You're welcome on
29:42
the show anytime. Yes, sir. Thank you
29:44
for having me. I appreciate it. Look forward to being
29:46
back. You got it, Cam. All right,
29:48
enjoy the beach. I will.
29:52
All right, coming up on the insiders, Drake
29:54
May. They're taking them out of the bubble
29:57
wrap this week. So what is Bucky Brooks
29:59
looking for? in the number three overall picks
30:01
regular season debut. Bucky will be with us
30:03
to break it down right after this on

32:24
guys, this is Matt Jones, Drew Franklin from
32:26
the Fade This podcast. We got a great episode
32:29
coming up, picks in all the sports, football,
32:31
basketball, we do them all, but here's a
32:33
preview of this week's episode. This
32:35
is a perfect thing, Billy. Kansas State is
32:37
being overlooked because of what happened at BYU.
32:41
Mike Gundy is a snot head. His
32:43
perm is finally catching up to him.
32:45
They lost at home to Utah.
32:48
This is another one I like, Will
32:50
Howard. You know, he's the quarterback
32:52
at Kansas State. He's not there anymore. He
32:54
was last year. Will Howard used to be
32:56
the quarterback at Kansas State. Now it's a
32:58
guy with long hair, right? Avery Johnson. Avery
33:01
Johnson, yeah. Used to coach Alabama. Now he's
33:03
the quarterback. Now he's the
33:05
quarterback at Kansas State. I
33:08
love the Kansas State...
33:13
Purple Wildcats. Wildcats. Yeah, there it is. And
33:15
this episode was brought to you in partnership
33:17
with DraftKings. To hear more, listen and subscribe
33:19
to Fade This on iHeartRadio or wherever you
33:21
listen to podcasts. First
33:25
of all, give it up for yourself for playing a four-quarter
33:27
game. Here's
33:31
the deal, man. It's hard to win in
33:33
this league when we take care of business,
33:36
even though it was not our best. It was
33:38
not our best, especially that first
33:40
half. We got it together, but we battled
33:42
for four quarters. So I'm proud of the
33:44
effort of that. But we got to clean
33:46
a lot of up, man. But
33:48
like I said, it's a long trip coming
33:51
out here and battling until the
33:53
end and coming away with a dub. So
33:55
I'm very proud of the effort and
33:57
we got to celebrate this. You with me?
34:00
game balls. All right. And the first guy,
34:02
you got to give it up for him.
34:04
He had two tugs today. Four catches, 88
34:07
yards. The second guy, man.
34:09
I don't want to jinx
34:11
it, but five picks
34:19
and five. Oh,
34:24
well, we'll get to that second guy in a
34:26
second. Very pleased to bring in my good friend
34:28
Omar Ruiz, who of course was in
34:31
SoFi Stadium watching Packers Rams.
34:33
And that was an emotional
34:35
game. I know you talked to a ton of people
34:38
and there's a lot to get to. You are also
34:40
here to talk to us of course, about the
34:43
Cardinals Packers game. Let's get to
34:45
the offense, right? You have been able to see
34:47
Jordan Love up close. It has
34:49
been a roller coaster season. It is starting
34:51
to get really good again. What are your
34:54
takeaways from this Packers offense in love? Well,
34:58
first of all, with the knee and Jordan Love
35:00
told me after the game that his knee was
35:02
feeling dramatically better than it did after that Minnesota
35:04
game. Matt Leflor even saying that it looked like
35:07
he was moving around a lot better, didn't affect
35:09
anything and their play calls or how they would
35:11
want him moving around. What
35:13
Matt Leflor told me about Jordan Love after
35:15
the game was that one of his superpowers
35:18
is that he doesn't blink when the pressure
35:20
comes. And that was indicative on the pick
35:22
six that he threw, backed up against their
35:24
end zone, the Rams score, get all the
35:26
momentum with about two minutes to
35:28
play in the first half. Love maintains
35:30
his poise and leaves a nine play
35:33
42 yard drive to set up a
35:35
critical field goal possession at the first
35:37
half buzzer to keep the Packers in
35:39
the game. And subsequently the next two
35:41
possessions of the second half, they scored
35:43
touchdowns. Now Leflor saying that they would
35:45
like to establish a little more consistency
35:48
offensively. It seems like they've been feast
35:50
or famine. They have those huge explosive
35:52
plays and then, or they're a three
35:54
and out type of scenario. So looking
35:56
for that consistency with that offense and
35:59
then about Jordan Love. he embodies that
36:01
consistency. He leads the league in touchdowns
36:03
per game right now. He also leads
36:05
the league in interceptions per game. And
36:07
Matt LaFlore saying on that 53 yard,
36:10
big play to Jayden Reed, he was like, no,
36:12
no, no. Cause it was in a triple coverage.
36:15
And then once Reed caught it, yes. And it
36:17
set up the Packers first score. So it's been
36:19
that kind of season exciting, but if they can
36:21
find that consistency, there'll be a lot more confident
36:23
with that offense going forward. Now,
36:26
speaking of someone who leads the NFL
36:28
and something else Xavier McKinney leads the
36:30
NFL in interceptions with five years, been
36:32
an absolute revelation. If people didn't really
36:34
know how good he was, they are
36:36
certainly finding out this year. What
36:39
are some of the reasons behind Xavier
36:42
McKinney having this star turn for the
36:44
Green Bay Packers? Well,
36:47
that's interesting. You said star turn there, Ian, because
36:49
he told me after the game that all
36:51
the accolades and maybe all the recognition that
36:54
he hasn't received yet in his career, he
36:56
was looking to get coming into this season.
36:58
When I asked him, did you envision this
37:00
hot of a start to start the year?
37:03
He said, yes, quite frankly. He knew if
37:05
he was going to accomplish all the things
37:07
that he wants to accomplish, he was gonna
37:09
need to get off to a fast start.
37:12
He told me that it's the preparation leading
37:14
into the game that helps him. And then
37:16
his high football IQ, the intelligence there to
37:18
understand how a quarterback is trying to attack
37:21
their defense, what the offense is trying to
37:23
do to the defense as the game unfolds,
37:25
he's able to recognize that and it all
37:27
comes together for him. And he's been able
37:30
to make plays on the ball. Obviously those
37:32
five straight games with the interceptions. And it's
37:34
not just the interceptions in that game, the
37:37
very first possession for the Rams, a big
37:39
third and three, Matthew Stafford, he said, tried
37:41
to look him off, but he hits two,
37:43
two at will. And
37:45
then McKinney breaks a huge hit
37:48
on at will, breaks up the play. The
37:51
Packers get forced to punt and they get the ball,
37:53
but it's those types of plays. He also had the
37:55
big fumble recovery on the first
37:57
possession for the Rams in the second half.
37:59
that set up the go ahead touchdown for
38:01
them. So he's making an impact all over
38:03
the field and certainly with those interceptions as
38:06
well. Four
38:08
years, 67 million seemed like a lot of
38:10
money in March. Kind of a bargain now
38:12
for the Green Bay Packers. Actually just really
38:14
great deal all around. Omar, thank you so
38:16
much. Appreciate you hanging out with us. Looking
38:18
forward to talk to you very soon. Mike,
38:20
take it away. Thanks
38:23
for the toss. I'll eat and I'll catch it just like
38:25
that trade turner throw to home to get the runner out
38:27
at the plate. What? Drake may
38:29
will make his first career start
38:31
for the New England Patriots. Number
38:33
three overall pick officially taking over
38:36
for Jacobi Brissett up there in
38:38
Foxborough as we bring
38:40
in our Bucky Brooks who talked
38:42
a plenty about Drake May and
38:44
all these rookie quarterbacks ahead of
38:46
this year's draft. So Buck, give
38:49
it everything you knew about May, given what you saw in
38:51
the preseason and in a little bit of spot duty here.
38:53
I thought he was impressive in the preseason and against the
38:55
Jets. What are your thoughts on Drake May taking over for
38:57
the Pats here? Yeah,
39:00
this is a bit controversial because the Patriots
39:02
had talked about red shirt and Drake May,
39:05
maybe not allowing him to play this year,
39:07
waiting to next year or later in the
39:09
season. But look, man, he's talented. He's more
39:11
talented Jacobi Brissett. And so the Patriots want
39:14
to get the developmental process started now. The
39:16
thing that you have to know about Drake
39:18
May, despite the talent, despite the athleticism, but
39:20
despite all the positive physical things that he's
39:23
going to bring to the table, he only
39:25
had 26 starts in North Carolina. So it
39:27
may be a bit of a bumpy ride
39:30
early. You hope that he's able to maintain
39:32
his confidence as the Patriots build a game
39:34
plan around his talent. Their game plan should
39:36
include heavy run game, RPOs, quick
39:39
rhythm throws, and some occasional shots because that's
39:41
what he did really well at North Carolina.
39:43
But with a gun slingers mentality who's prone
39:45
to play hero ball, he could make some
39:48
mistakes that lead to turnovers. The thing the
39:50
Patriots have to do is hang in there
39:52
through the rough patches and then find a
39:54
way to build around him because he'll be
39:56
much better in 2025 for the... that
40:00
he gets in 2024. Yep.
40:02
Looking forward to seeing Drake may out there. If
40:05
he's as smooth as he was through the pre-draft prospect,
40:08
I think he'll do just fine except
40:10
for the fact or despite the
40:12
fact that this roster around him is
40:14
not the greatest. Meanwhile I
40:17
know we focused so much on all the
40:19
quarterbacks that went in the first dozen, but
40:21
some were taken after that, including Spencer Rattler,
40:23
the fifth round pick along
40:25
with may, he will be the fifth quarterback
40:27
or rookie quarterback to get the ball this
40:29
year. So Rattler was an
40:32
interesting prospect Bucky. What are your thoughts on
40:34
him now taking over for the injured Derek
40:36
Carr who might miss multiple games here? Yeah,
40:39
now this is one to watch and the
40:42
excitement over Drake may is different because he
40:44
comes with a lot of expectations. Spencer Rattler
40:46
is the one that could surprise. And the
40:48
reason why he could surprise is you have
40:50
to remember going all the way back through
40:52
the recruiting process through the scouting process at
40:55
one point, many regarded him as a guy
40:57
that was going to be a first round
40:59
pick when he was at Oklahoma. Didn't work
41:01
out that way. Went on to South Carolina
41:03
because he lost his job to Kayla Williams.
41:05
But what he developed is a little grit,
41:08
a little toughness, a little resilience. Senior Bowl
41:10
MVP had an opportunity to see him show
41:12
out throughout the preseason where he displayed a
41:14
very mature and evolved game. Give and think
41:16
could be as experienced with Kyle Shanahan and
41:18
what the Niners did with Brock Purdy. I'm
41:21
not saying that Rattler will be a Brock
41:23
Purdy like player, but I'm saying that experience
41:25
could allow him to play much better than
41:27
many imagined and it could allow the Saints
41:29
to keep on rolling while Spencer Rattler is
41:32
in place of Derek Carr. His
41:34
first assignment, a Todd Bowles coach
41:37
defense. So interested to see how
41:39
Spencer Rattler does against
41:41
the Buccaneers. Bucky Brooks, thank you
41:43
very much for your insight regarding
41:46
these rookie quarterbacks. Coming up
41:48
next, we've got some fantasy football decisions to
41:50
make Michael F. Florio coming
41:52

you a morning person? Or when

42:40
mornings can be hard to handle from the
42:42
moment you open your eyes, your responsibilities and
42:44
to do's start piling up in your head.
42:46
But you know what helps? Yep.
42:49
A shower. But not
42:51

45:29
Good job. Thanks. Welcome
45:38
back to the insiders. We are on
45:41
the eve of week six in the
45:43
NFL kicks off tomorrow night in Seattle
45:45
with the Seahawks against the 49ers. And
45:47
as we so often do, we need
45:49
advice on our fantasy lineups. Nobody better
45:52
than that, than that guy right there,
45:54
Michael F. Florio joining me, Tom Pelocero,
45:56
Ian Rappaport and Mike Garofolo. All right,
45:58
Florio, it is start. and sit
46:00
time. Let's start out with a running
46:02
back you would start in week six.
46:05
I would start Tony Pollard this
46:07
week. He has been getting a
46:10
lot of opportunity and turning it
46:12
into really good fantasy production. He
46:14
has averaged 65% of the snaps
46:16
this season and is averaging 19
46:18
opportunities per game. That has led
46:20
to him scoring 15 or
46:22
more fantasy points in three or four weeks. Plus
46:24
Colts are top five in rushing and receiving
46:27
yards allowed to running backs. So not only
46:29
is he a good start most weeks, this
46:31
could be a week he hits a home
46:33
run or maybe even a grand slam if
46:35
you would. Now
46:39
you're speaking my language. This is what I
46:41
like. For you, I wanna
46:43
get to some, sorry Mike, let's go back.
46:45
I wanna get to some receivers. Well, actually
46:47
what I really wanna ask you is I'm
46:49
in a two quarterback league. I could start
46:51
either Aiden O'Connell, Spencer Roweller or Deshaun Watson,
46:53
but no, give me some receivers to start
46:55
here. Sorry, Tom, give me some receivers to
46:57
start for you. We'll
47:00
talk off air about who you should start
47:02
at quarterback, but I think DJ Moore is
47:04
a must start option this week in London.
47:06
Not only is he coming off his best
47:08
game of the year, but so is Caleb
47:10
Williams where he looks comfortable. And that led
47:12
to DJ Moore giving you nearly 28 fantasy
47:14
points and he
47:17
could have an even better game potentially
47:19
this week because the Jags have allowed
47:21
the most fantasy points per games to
47:23
wide receivers. And they particularly struggle against
47:26
wide receivers out wide and down the
47:28
field, two areas where we know Moore
47:30
eats. And then Jaden Reed, he is
47:33
shown to have such a high ceiling
47:35
and floor with Jordan Love, averaging 25
47:37
fantasy points per game in three games
47:39
with him. And the Cardinals are top
47:41
10 in yards allowed to wide receivers.
47:43
But I love all the Packers this
47:45
week. I have a Packer in every
47:47
position in stardom sit-in. So go over
47:50
to nfl.com and see that. All
47:52
right, I don't have a time machine to go back
47:55
in time and sit Jeff Hoffman and Carlos Estevez. So
47:57
give me a time machine going forward into the future
47:59
and who are we? sitting this,
48:01
this weekend. I think
48:03
you should try to sit Gino Smith.
48:05
If you have the capabilities to, he
48:08
is just one passing touchdown in each
48:10
game, this season and in three
48:12
career matchups as a Seahawk against the
48:14
49ers, he is just one total passing
48:16
touchdown and two interceptions in two of
48:18
those three games. He was held to
48:20
under 200 passing yards. His
48:23
high mark is just two 38 and
48:25
only one quarterback has top 225 yards
48:28
against the Niners this season. I think
48:30
you sit Rashad white as well over
48:33
the last four weeks, he has 30
48:35
less rushing yards than teammate Bucky Irving.
48:37
Irving also has the only Russian touchdown
48:40
in that span amongst the running backs.
48:42
And what's even more worrisome is his
48:44
targets continue to decline. And in this
48:46
four week span, he is averaging just
48:49
eight fantasy points per game and has
48:51
not reached 11 in a single one.
48:53
And then Mark Andrews last
48:55
week was a step in the right direction
48:57
for him, but he still ran just 16
48:59
routes in a game where Lamar through 42
49:02
times. And he played only just
49:04
over half of the snaps. Plus
49:07
the commanders have allowed the fifth fewest fantasy points
49:09
per game to tight ends. And they have not
49:11
allowed a top 10 tight end this season. Plus
49:13
the Ravens use three of them. So until we
49:15
see better usage for Mark Andrews, I think you
49:17
could get away from him right now. A
49:20
lot more from Florio at nfl.com/start.
49:22
Sit. Do not set your lineups
49:24
without reading that story. Michael F
49:26
thank you very much for being
49:29
here. As always, DJ Moore is
49:31
a must start in fantasy this
49:33
week. I'm thinking a wild guest
49:35
Kayla Williams is as well against
49:37
a rather putrid Jaguars defense coming
49:39
up after this say, ah, I've
49:41
got not to Bucky Brooks. He'll be making
49:43
the trip to London. He'll break down what
49:45
we're seeing from pick number one after this
49:47
on the inside. Just
50:00
ask the Capital One Bank Guy. It's
50:02
pretty much all he talks about. In
50:05
a good way. He'd also tell you
50:07
that this podcast is his favorite podcast
50:09
too. Oh, really? Thanks,

50:36
a shower. But not
50:38
just any shower, a shower with Irish
50:40
Spring. Yeah,
50:42
as soon as you reach for the Irish
50:44
Spring, your day immediately gets better. All
50:47
those to-dos are totally doable. Because
50:50
that crisp, fresh, unmistakable Irish Spring
50:53
scent zings your brain and awakens
50:55
your senses. So
50:58
when you finally emerge from that glorious shower,
51:01
37 minutes later, because let's be honest, you pay the
51:03
water bill so you can stay in there as long
51:06
as you want. You're ready to
51:08
take on the day. And smell great doing it.
51:11
Irish Spring body wash and bar soap. Fresh,
51:14
green, Irish. Look for
51:16
Irish Spring in the soap aisle at Walmart. Look
51:19
around. You can find cars like these on
51:21
Auto Trader. Like that car riding your tail.
51:24
Or if you're tailgating right now, all those cars
51:27
doubling as kitchens and living rooms are on Auto
51:29
Trader, too. Are you working
51:31
out and listening to this ad at
51:33
the same time? Well, multitasking pro, cars
51:35
like the ones in the gym parking
51:37
lot are for sale on Auto Trader.
51:39
New cars, used cars, electric cars, maybe
51:41
even flying cars. OK,
51:43
no flying cars, but as soon as they get invented,
51:45
they'll be on Auto Trader. Just you
51:48
wait. Auto Trader. Odoo
51:50

52:00
every program from CRM to HR
52:02

doesn't. So you should use Odoo

give your all today. Keep believing, every play, every
53:24
step. Let's
53:30
go! Everybody
53:33
pick it up a little bit. Let's have some fun, man. Perfect
53:36
throw, perfect catch. Back
53:40
of the end zone, clawing for the touchdown. Nice
53:50
little hype video there. Live from London,
53:52
Trevor Lawrence and the
53:54
Jags take on Caleb Williams and the
53:56
Bears on NFL Network. Rise, shine, and
53:58
watch Sunday, October 13th. at 9
54:00
30 a.m. Eastern only on NFL
54:02
Network and NFL Plus subscription required for
54:05
NFL Plus. And before he got on
54:07
the plane, Caleb sat down with our
54:09
own Kyle Brand. I
54:13
have some terms and some phrases that the Bears
54:15
fans have used to describe you and what you
54:17
mean to the future of the franchise. This is
54:20
my favorite one. You ready? Messiah,
54:23
Messiah. I
54:26
think when I when I hear that, I think of
54:28
Dune, you know, even that movie, I couldn't have done
54:30
it all by myself. So it goes to having the
54:32
team and, you know, the guys behind you and then
54:35
believe in you and believe in an offense, believe in
54:37
each other and having that bond to be able to
54:39
go out there and win. So it's kind of funny.
54:46
All right. And now Bucky is back before he
54:48
gets on the plane to London. Bucky,
54:51
you just heard from Caleb Williams there
54:53
briefly. How does he build on what
54:55
was really his finest performance last Sunday?
54:59
Yeah, yeah. The outstanding performance last Sunday. You
55:01
think about having a 300 yard game, his second 300 yard game of the season,
55:04
but it was different than the first one that he had against
55:06
the Indianapolis Colts against the Colts. He threw 52 times too many
55:08
pass attempts for a young quarterback,
55:11
still trying to make his way into the league.
55:14
What the Bears and Williams have discovered
55:16
less is more for the number one
55:18
overall pick. The last
55:21
two games he's had fewer than 30 pass attempts. He's
55:24
been more efficient, more effective. Three touchdowns,
55:26
no international interceptions, and the Bears are
55:28
leaning on all parts of their office,
55:31
which makes the game easy for the
55:33
quarterback. If Caleb Williams continues to
55:35
play on time, on schedule, the Bears have
55:37
an opportunity to see their number one quarterback,
55:39
their number one overall pick continue to grow
55:42
into the franchise quarterback that they expect, but
55:44
it's slowly but surely when it comes to
55:46
their approach, less is more. That is the
55:49
most effective way to utilize Caleb Williams right
55:51
now. Well,
55:54
Trevor Lawrence was also effective last week.
55:56
They finally got their first win of
55:58
the season in Jacksonville. So how
56:01
do they build on that? How do they make it two in a
56:03
row, Bucky? Well,
56:05
I think the Colts were the perfect team
56:07
for Trevor Lawrence to get back on track
56:09
just because of the way that Gus Bradley
56:11
plays zone defense umbrella coverage, dares a quarterback
56:13
to take the check down after check down,
56:15
have to check down. And what
56:17
Trevor Lawrence discovered is by making some
56:19
layups early, check down short throws, then
56:21
moving to intermediate. It made it easier
56:23
for him to hit on those deep
56:25
balls that he missed earlier in the
56:27
season. If he continues to take
56:29
the discipline and the patience that he's played
56:32
against the Colts, the big things that we
56:34
saw in that game against the Colts will
56:36
show up again. He has to learn, look,
56:38
quarterbacking is about taking what the defense gives
56:40
him. If he keeps it simple in his
56:42
mind while maintaining the discipline, he can continue
56:44
to build upon this performance with other performances
56:47
that are very similar to what we saw
56:49
last Sunday. I
56:52
love early morning football, Bucky.
56:54
Have a great trip to London, safe
56:56
travels. And when we return, we have
56:59
new power rankings and we
57:01
are going to look at the Atlanta Falcons
57:03
because they're one of the biggest risers to
57:05
find out how big a rise they made
57:07
in the power rankings. Come back with us

1:00:46
Still has the Vikings up
1:00:49
at the top five and O as they
1:00:51
head into the bye, followed by the also
1:00:53
unbeaten Chiefs. Then the Lions have a big
1:00:55
one this week against the Cowboys, the Texans
1:00:58
and the Ravens. How about that for an
1:01:00
O and two start creeping up into the
1:01:02
top five. A lot of movers and shakers
1:01:05
in those power rankings as well. How about
1:01:07
the Falcons jumping up a full seven spots?
1:01:09
The Broncos, yes. Denver's on a
1:01:11
three game winning streak. Chicago also coming
1:01:14
off their best game last week against
1:01:16
the Panthers. Some of the ones dropping,
1:01:18
the 49ers, the Jets, the
1:01:20
Colts. Those we've been discussing. Certainly
1:01:22
a big opportunity for the Jets to
1:01:24
make a jump back up this week against
1:01:26
the Bills. We also had one more set
1:01:28
of power rankings that we wanted to get
1:01:30
to here before the end of
1:01:33
the show, because this is certainly a
1:01:35
very special episode of the Insiders.
1:01:38
Our coordinating producer, Jeff Collette is celebrating
1:01:41
his birthday today. So we wanted to
1:01:43
give you the power rankings
1:01:45
of Jeff Collette sayings. I think the
1:01:47
number one, we'd all agree, Ian, what
1:01:50
the heck? That's it, right? Yeah.
1:01:53
No, check out this action is something
1:01:55
that I've incorporated into regular life. I
1:01:58
think it's a great phrase and that would. Number one
1:02:00
for me. Number one on the power rank.
1:02:02
You guys missed one. I told you. You
1:02:04
should have crowd sourced this one. Solid gold.
1:02:08
Solid gold should be out there. Solid
1:02:10
gold. Solid gold. Yeah. Missed
1:02:12
that one. That's true. Gotta put that over
1:02:14
number 10. Want to hear some good news. Yeah. Want
1:02:17
to hear some good news. There he is. Stand up.

1:02:21

1:02:32
Solid gold. Solid gold. Everybody
1:02:35
else in that control room seems so happy for
1:02:37
him that it was his birthday. No
1:02:39
reaction. Give us the control room.
1:02:42
One more time. Let's see it. Everybody
1:02:44
put those chairs for Jeff. For Jeff. That's
1:02:47
right. That's right. Yeah.
1:02:49
All right. That's right. All
1:02:52
right. He's going to take
1:02:54
every one of those people out to
