Follow and listen to Cash the Ticket on the free Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcasts. Our own Eric Bickle from this brand new all-star program. Look at these guys. I think they're a couple months in now. The sports junkie. There's a good formula there. Listen to them in the morning. We're worried about them. So we just we need to get some people to start listening to them. You know what I mean? They're trying to build momentum. They're just it's look it's hard when you start out E.B. How do you break in? It's a grind. It's a grind. Hopefully one day we'll get there. You will. What can we make draft do next week? Do that's the grossest thing we've ever done. That was disgusting. I will be honest with you. Danny and I have both not seen it yet. I don't know if that's going to change. I love you guys. I saw the premise. I saw some lead up and I said, okay. That's I'm pulling the rip court. I'm popping smoke. I can't. I can't. I just can't. By the way, I'm changing diapers still and I couldn't do it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Now what we did what actually what Valdez and Mike Mar did was reprehensible. What drag did was less bad as far as I'm concerned. If you need any more details than that, go search on all junkies. Yeah. We literally can't say anymore because there are rules that govern that sort of thing. Facebook. I think it's literally between Facebook and Instagram and everything. I think it's got over a hundred thousand views. That does not surprise me. Yeah. People like seeing crazy things done. Speaking of graphics, you got to be feeling pretty good right now, E.B. The locals are not only winning. They're dominating and they're they're good. Yeah. I guess they're good. I know Jaden's good. I'm willing to go there. I'm willing to get over my skis on Jaden and get like beyond or like I think actually could be one of your all time great. I'm just going to be honest with you. I think you do it all great. Here's why. Here's why. He's like you have to make the inevitable comparison to RG3 because it's the last quarterback that came on the scene. It burst on the scene. It had a somewhat of a similar style, but Robert was in a lot of ways of fraud, right? He was a one trick pony, little read option, you know, through the plays, run them over and over, took the league by storm. And if you hadn't gotten hurt, you would have had a nice career. This guy's different. This guy is doing the things that I was in denial of about Robert. This guy's throwing guys open. This guy's anticipating where he needs to be and throwing it before they're looking. He's making progressions. He's careful with the football. And then by the way, if the offensive line, which is way better than anybody ever thought, actually breaks down, he can just take off and run for 40 if he wants. He's got the work ethic. He's beating the players. He's beating Bobby Wagner there to the facility by an hour. He's at 4am. Like this kid, what does he not have? I guess the only thing he doesn't have is like the body of a Greek god. Other than that, he's got it all. So I don't see why he can't be one of the all-time greats. So you were no longer worried, though, about the frame because that would be my immediate answer. That's what I'm worried about, man. One of my three-bit concerns. I stipulate to that. Yeah, okay. I can't argue that other than he I've already seen strides in him trying to reduce the amount of hits he's taken. I think we've all seen that. So I, listen, I stipulate to that, but that's that's the weakness. Other than that, I think he's got all the intangibles. He's got the acumen. He's got the poise is unreal, the confidence, and then the postgame humility. He's got everything, everything that you could be in control of, right? Can't control your frame. So it is what it is. Now, here's the other part of the equation, though. So I'm willing to get over my skis and praise him and say, yeah, this guy's way better, and I even thought he's it. I don't know about the defense, though. I'm confused by the defense. Because in the first two weeks, I thought it was the worst defense I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of bad ones here. And now all of a sudden, they're bucking up and they're getting pressure from their hands. And Frankie Louvoo looks like he's playing like a parses and, you know, our back end is playing, you know, okay enough. So I'm confused. I know Jayden's good. I know our offense is good. I'm just not sure about the defense. How do you see this weekend going against Baltimore? Well, I mean, I think you'd have to be crazy to think that we should go in and win, but we certainly are capable. So I picked the Ravens the winner all this year. I think they're incredible. I think what they're doing with Henry and Lamar was brilliant. I don't know how you defend them. I don't know how you stop them. But he's having a heck of a hard time stopping us, too. So, you know, maybe it's going to be one of those bangle situations where we're just going boom, boom, boom, boom, everybody's scoring. And, you know, hopefully you're on the right side of it. So I don't know. I mean, I guess I think it's maybe a lot closer than I ever thought it could be to be in maybe like a 50/50. Even though the line, I think it's what? Six, six and a half. I think it could be. I think it could go either way, which I'm actually stunned that I'm articulating those words. You and me both. What an incredible time. Let's see what happens. Chance for five and one. E. B. Thank you, buddy. Thank you guys. Yeah. Good luck with the new show, man. Jumps. Thank you. Every day here on the fan six to 10 a.m. You can listen to E.
