Transcript

00:00I have spent the morning trying to scout.

00:03I'm a scout, you know?

00:05And so what I'm trying to do is,

00:07I've learned of this quarterback

00:09the Canes are after in the transfer portal.

00:11Washington State again, right?

00:13Yeah.

00:14Yeah!

00:17But strangely can run.

00:19Here's the kicker though.

00:22Here's how I look at things now, right?

00:28Oklahoma is his, I guess that they're number one on this.

00:33I think it's top choice.

00:34I think they have his former OC there.

00:37Right.

00:38Okay.

00:39So how much money, you're right, Vlad.

00:42That's where I'm going.

00:43How much money is Oklahoma going to give him?

00:46How much is Miami going to give him?

00:47Now.

00:48Don't pull up Florida State.

00:50That's all you got to know.

00:51If you learn, you don't want to pull a Florida State.

00:54If you got to pay for that quarterback,

00:56you're going to have to-

00:57Look at what Michigan did.

00:59Michigan learned.

01:01Michigan learned.

01:03He apparently turned down seven figures

01:04to stay at Washington State.

01:05And like, he's like, nah, not staying for seven figures.

01:09So yeah, Oklahoma is apparently,

01:11they're apparently the lead dog here, but-

01:13But how much money does Oklahoma have?

01:15I don't know.

01:16I would imagine a lot.

01:18We imagine.

01:19I would imagine a lot.

01:20Good old JR.

01:21But you also know.

01:23Cam Ward.

01:24Exactly.

01:26Cam Ward, former teammate.

01:27And that's the selling point.

01:28The selling point is, hey, if you go to Oklahoma,

01:34are we going to see you on that Saturday at the Heisman?

01:40Look what we did for him.

01:42Top five pick.

01:42He's going to be a top five pick.

01:44Now, I'm not going to tell you what to do.

01:50I'm not going to tell you what to do.

01:51We going to give you enough money, right?

01:55But look at our track record.

01:58Same quarterback from Washington State came here,

02:02Heisman Trophy finalist.

02:04Got it.

02:05Norman at Oklahoma.

02:06Can you do that in Norman?

02:08Yeah.

02:08Or Miami.

02:09I think that's it.

02:10It's Norman versus Miami.

02:12That's it.

02:13I think he's also like, he's like,

02:14Norman's going to have to offer,

02:16you would think like, listen,

02:17you got the in with the coach,

02:18but they're going to have to like,

02:19I think the first visit for him,

02:20this John Mateer is the guy's name.

02:22So like, if it's a,

02:24you got to think the coach is going to be like,

02:26all right, we're going to have to throw a big check

02:26because I don't want him going to Coral Gables.

02:29What?

02:30That's it.

02:30You just see a tumbleweed.

02:32You know what?

02:33You know what this has the makings of?

02:36This has the makings of Deshaun Watson, right?

02:40Not saying it's going to play out that way,

02:42but in order for Cleveland

02:48to keep Deshaun Watson in Cleveland,

02:50they had to offer a ridiculous amount

02:52because all the other teams look more appealing at the top.

02:56Right?

02:57So Norman versus Miami,

02:59in order for Norman to get him out of Miami,

03:03they're going to have to pay a premium.

03:04They're going to have to give him

03:05at least three to five million dollars.

03:06Wait, we got another one.

03:07I didn't even think it is.

03:09What's that?

03:09Hey, if we give you five million, there's no state tax.

03:13That's right.

03:14Well, does Oklahoma have state tax?

03:15Yes.

03:16I have no idea.

03:17I don't know what Oklahoma's tax rules are.

03:20There's only like three states that don't.

03:22I don't think Texas has state tax.

03:24Texas doesn't.

03:25Vegas doesn't.

03:26Vegas doesn't.

03:27Well, Vegas is the state.

03:28Nevada doesn't.

03:29I look, but if you're telling me

03:30five million and a booby trap, I'm in.

03:34That's the one you're going with?

03:35Booby trap?

03:36So five million and a booby trap.

03:38What does Norman have?

03:39Norman doesn't have booby trap like this.

03:41They got buggy trap.

03:43Buggy trap, man.

03:44Come on.

03:45Horse and buggy.

03:47So yeah.

03:48So listen, they can get him away from Norman

03:53because all I gotta do is show him the track record.

03:58Now here's the kicker with Oklahoma.

04:00Here's what Oklahoma could say.

04:02Oklahoma does have a tax.

04:04There's only nine states with no tax.

04:06Alaska, New Hampshire, Texas, Florida, South Dakota,

04:08Washington, Nevada, Tennessee, Wyoming.

04:11You gotta love Nevada.

04:12All the gambling, there's no state tax.

04:13Gotta love it.

04:14Get all the money from the gambling.

04:16Yep.

04:17So here's the deal.

04:19Now, here's if I'm Oklahoma, what I'm telling you.

04:25We're gonna give you more

04:27than Washington State was gonna give you.

04:30I said, but do you wanna go to the ACC

04:33and get screwed at the end of the year

04:34and not be able to play on the highest stage?

04:37Or do you wanna come here at a known powerhouse,

04:43even though we haven't been that in a while,

04:45a named school, and soon as we get anywhere close to it,

04:51you're gonna have a chance.

04:53Hold on.

04:55But you also have to feel like they actually have a chance.

04:57Like, dude, can't Oklahoma, can't Oklahoma skydive.

05:00That's what I was about to say.

05:02Again, we're going with selling points.

05:04I getcha, I getcha.

05:05Going into it, because guess what?

05:09An average SEC school

05:13is, are they in the, they're not in the ACC, they're in the.

05:17They're in the SEC.

05:18They're in the SEC.

05:19An average SEC school can get in

05:23and an exceptional ACC school might not, right?

05:29This is what I say.

05:30I say, we got, we got Munyon, we got Ashtron,

05:34we got a big ass O-line, we got, we got Cam Ward in the ear.

05:38We see that big leap that he took from the coach

05:41to the canes.

05:44We just can't, we just, we just can't let him throw that,

05:46that sooner money, all crazy, all crazy

05:49if he gets there first.

05:50Hey, the other thing they could sell is Washington, Oklahoma.

05:56Not that far trip.

05:59Washington to Miami.

06:04That's a good trip.

06:05That's a great trip.

06:07Hey, I'm not saying it's a great trip.

06:10I'm not saying, I'm just, hey, all I'm saying,

06:12if you got mom and them, mom and them nearby.

06:16Well, I think he's from Little Elm, Texas.

06:18Right.

06:19So it's a two and a half hour flight to where?

06:23But so you don't know what part of Texas,

06:26you know how big Texas is, dude.

06:28I don't know how far Little Elm is.

06:30Little Elm?

06:30Wait, first of all, it ain't Houston, knucklehead.

06:35Where's Little Elm?

06:37Where's Little Elm?

06:40Where's Little Elm?

06:41You done already made assumptions.

06:42It could be closer to Nevada.

06:45Little Elm, Texas on a map.

06:47Let's see.

06:50All right, Little Elm, Texas is only 48 minutes away

06:52from Dallas.

06:53It's like, yeah, it's from Dallas.

06:54It's like Dallas, which is.

06:56So how many hours is Dallas from Miami?

06:59It's a five.

07:00Two and a half.

07:01No, it's not.

07:02Two and a half, three hours.

07:03No, it's not.

07:05You lose, remember you gain an hour.

07:07It's still, just because it's time change

07:09don't mean the flight time.

07:11Oh my goodness, dude.

07:12Whatever.

07:13You know the flight time is the flight time.

07:15I don't care what time it is.

07:17Tobin, we about to have one.

07:18I almost kicked your ass in the airport over there.

07:20Listen, Central Time screws me up, dude.

07:22Don't talk to me about that.

07:25The flight time don't change

07:26because the time where you fly changes.

07:30D Smith says Nevin Shapiro is out.

07:32Maybe he can broker a deal.

07:33Can I ask a question?

07:34Why the hell?

07:36That is right.

07:37Two hours and 40 minutes nonstop from little M to Miami

07:42because you're going to have to take DFW.

07:44Of course.

07:46And how long to Oklahoma?

07:48Probably a two and a half hour road trip.

07:50It might be another two and a half hours.

07:52But let me ask you this.

07:53Why the hell did Nevin Shapiro get pardoned?

07:57I was like, what?

07:59Why is he, did he, like,

08:02that was the strangest headline that came over TMZ

08:05is that the president pardoned Nevin Shapiro.

08:08That was weird.

08:09I was like, wait, why?

08:10There had to be some kind of,

08:12I mean, there's got to be somebody who knows somebody,

08:14but I just found that very, very odd.

08:16What the hell was going on there?

08:18Because what he got in trouble with is legal.

08:21Oh, no, he got, no, no.

08:22It was like a $300 million Ponzi scheme.

08:24Yeah, I don't know.

08:27Shapiro, by the way, didn't Shapiro say,

08:29he said that the giants were going to hire the Cain's OC.

08:32That's what he said.

08:33They're going to, after they draft Cam Ward,

08:35they're going to, they're going to hire Dawson.

08:36See, if they lose Dawson, that to me is like a,

08:39but if they keep Dawson, Cam Ward,

08:41you're like, come on, baby.

08:42You saw what he did for me.

08:43Come on.

08:45I don't know.

08:46I like this stuff.

08:47There's a lot of things that have to happen

08:50for this to work because that would kind of suck

08:54if the Giants draft Cam Ward and then take the OC.

09:04But here's the other, here's the other problem.

09:07The other problem with the Giants is,

09:09do you want to be a first round pick and end up in the point?

09:12Man, I don't know.

09:14I don't know.

09:15I mean, when was the last, Eli Manning?

09:18Yeah, Eli.

09:19I mean, Mark Sanchez has some success with the Jets.

09:24Wait, wait, wait.

09:25Last what?

09:25Quarterback in New York.

09:26Do you want me to work out for the Giants?

09:28Daniel Jones.

09:29Would you want to be Daniel Jones?

09:31No, we're talking about that worked out.

09:35And was Daniel Jones ever loved as a New York quarterback?

09:38Nope.

09:38Not really.

09:39Nope.

09:40They love Saquon Barkley and he was a product

09:43of having Saquon Barkley behind him.

09:46And the Giants didn't even realize that.

09:52Wild.

09:53He says it's his relationship with the Miami AD.

09:55She's close to Biden.

09:56I don't know if that's true or not, but maybe that makes sense.

09:58Oh, okay.

09:59Oh, Shalala, the former AD.

10:02Yeah.

10:03The former president.

10:04Yep.

10:05Who wanted nothing to do with Nevin Shapiro.

10:07Now all of a sudden, she's speaking on his behalf.

10:09I don't think that's true.

10:10Yeah, that sounds crazy, right?

10:15And she's no longer with us, right?

10:18She's no longer with the school.

10:19Is the Shalala still alive?

10:20Oh, you can't say that.

10:23That's not what that means.

10:25She's no longer with us.

10:26Not, you know, and he, like, like.

10:30She's 83, like, it was a fair question.

10:32I'm sorry.

10:33I apologize.

10:34No, but someone tried to save it.

10:36It was the way he tried to save it, right?

10:38Yeah, she's no longer with us.

10:38I apologize.

10:39I apologize.

10:40She's no longer the president of the school, right?

10:42No, bro.

10:43No, no, no, that's not what, no, no.

10:47All right.

10:47I thought she was gone.

10:48I apologize.

10:49I thought Shalala was gone for a second.

10:50I knew it.

10:51You tried to, you tried to.

10:52For two presidents.

10:53Suddenly, no.

10:54Yeah.

10:55No, no.

10:56He tried to kick that leg out

10:57and save the puck on the other side of the net.

10:59He tried to do a kick save and a beauty,

11:00but it was, the puck was already past you, buddy.

11:03I apologize.

11:04I apologize, Shalala.

11:06I apologize.

11:07But you did look really happy

11:08looking at that bowling alley check.

11:10Oh.
