Krocking, Locking & Dropping Ep. 31: Wk 1 Recap; Don't Call Justin Verlander Washed Up; RIP Vader

[Music] hey everyone this is Kenneth the krock Klein that's right your favorite hosts one of your favorite hosts okay I'm on the list of your favorite hosts somewhere but anyways folks we're back with another episode of crocking locking and dropping that's right I'm crocking I'm locking and I'm dropping some new podcasts as of this moment right now another episode should be a really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really emotional one you thought I was going to say good one as well well to tell you all the truth uh the last few days as of you know the recording of This podcast uh have been a little bit of a stressful time and I felt like I needed to get some things off my chest so for this episode I uh got a little bit of a rant that I want to talk to and it involves my fellow Houston Astros fans with regards to the situation of a certain uh pitcher and why I think it's a little bit ridiculous how we should be saying hey it's time for him to hang it up and all this and that I'm going to give my thoughts on Justin berlander and the situation and whether or not you know it's the right decision what should be done of him in the event that the stros do make the playoffs at the moment uh to say the least they're still up four and a half games as of the recording of This podcast but anyways you know I got a little rant for uh for all that so just hear my thoughts out on what I think needs to happen for him in case the stros do make the playoffs as well and then I'm going to be recapping giv out my five thoughts from the NFL's first week some things that I've noticed some things that I think we should keep an eye on for and some things that I believe you know need to happen as well plus I'm also going to be making out my predictions for week two so hey I figured I have a good chance I had a pretty good week the first week uh so let's uh we'll get right into all that as well but first and foremost folks I'm a little bit of an emotional uh person at this time uh you know I'm not quite teary eyed but at I just found out today that James Earl Jones passed away at the age of 93 and now James Earl Jones who we all know as the iconic voice of Darth Vader arguably the greatest villain in the history of Cinema so the man who played in Darth Vader he was in Field of Dreams he was in The Lion King He was the voice of Mufasa and he was also in some other great movies you know the Great White H uh Coming to America and then you know if you want to talk about being a kids movie he was in the sand lot yes he played Mr Myrtle uh the elderly man who had the so-called Beast of a dog uh in the movie as well but man I got to tell you what when I saw that he had passed away uh it was definitely emotional because the man had such a voice that was so powerful in a way like there are very few actors that in my opinion def definely could play the voice of God or definitely has a voice of talent which captures your attention in a way it's almost like you're talking and all of a sudden this booming voice comes on and everybody stops what they're doing and they listen to what he has to say it's almost like I mean the man was powerful in a way but man I'll tell you what James Earl Jones uh definitely you know I wish I would have liked to have met the guy I mean there are a lot of celebrities I would have liked to have met but he was definitely one of them just his emotion his power and it's funny um I was thinking about him a few days back I was actually thinking about you know sometimes how you're always a kid and you always have this imaginary TV scene I always wish I could have done a scene with him like if I ever had pursued an acting career I always wish I could have done a scene where I would just sit and talk with him and I would listen to what he has to say cuz man in the room he's the most important figure like well I mean in a good way because the guy has such a presence about about him that makes you you know want to listen to what he has to say and he's so powerful like he gives you the confident advice he gives you the motivation he doesn't do it in a rah rah type of way and that's not his style but he does it in a way that is so calm so um soothing and very powerful at the same time and when you listen to that man you you are touched by that you know I always look back on his Rose you know in some Field of Dreams and he tells Uh Kevin Costner's character Ray canella I think people will come Ray people will come when they talk about you know the famous scene on the baseball field and the corn fields and everything and it was so it it was so touching and just you know watching that scene and watching all his other performances and yeah man it's it's definitely emotional but I will say this about James Earl Jones James you did everything that you could to make us in to inspire us people came to watch you you used the force and you completed the circle of life man rest in peace I definitely will want to go back and watch some of your great movies and I I don't know I don't think he actually won an Academy Award if he didn't then that's a big CME because I swear there were some performances that he should have at least gotten an Oscar for so it's a definitely a big loss in all of Hollywood I think his uh career is definitely one of the biggest impactful ones in all of you know if you're a movie lover and everything and there are a few others like him but man it's a big loss so rest in peace to James Earl Jones at the age of 93 you will be missed so that's going to conclude uh my introduction for this podcast when we come back I'm going to be talking a little bit about some JV and what I think needs to happen and what I think we need to as Astros fans if you're a fan of the team why I think everyone needs to stop and calm down about the whole thing stay tuned folks we'll be right back [Music] you remember that movie for Love of the Game it's one of my all-time favorite movies for those of you that aren't familiar with this movie it's about Kevin cner who plays Billy Chapel an aging pitcher who is no longer in the prime of his career is being possibly traded from the Detroit Tigers the team that he plays for and yet he also has some struggles because he reflects back on his career and his life from how his career got to this point to his romance with Kelly Preston's character and just how their on again off again relationship has been a central part of the story but anyways he's making his last start against the New York Yankees and well I don't want to get into the spoilers here to say the least but I will say that this start that he's makes is one that he's going to remember and that everyone will remember for the rest of his life that is of course if he were a real character but anyway I like this movie so much just because it makes you think of the question hey when is it time to give up when is it time to say hey you know I've done all that I can I've done everything that I could possibly do in my career and at some point you know now as time for me to hang it up as well and I think that's the question that every athlete at some point is going to have to ask at this stage but here's the thing it's the athletes who make the decision not the fans and I gotta be honest here here's the the reality of the situation the reason why I'm bringing this up is because as of this podcast on this day Justin Verlander the great legendary baseball pitcher for the Detroit Tigers and now with the Astros had arguably his worst start of the Season he gave up eight runs in like three Innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks a playoff caliber team I might add and now it's kind of gotten to the point where fans are starting to get very concerned because ever since he returned back from an out stin this season he hasn't quite been as efficient enough and that has left fans starting to worry because you know look he's given up four runs or more in every one of his starts since then and that is a bit concerned but now it's gotten to the point where fans are starting to think oh he's washed up he's done this and that and I gotta be honest with you as much as I know that Justin Verlander is no longer in the prime of his career for me personally I think it's embarrassing and so mad that we're calling him washed up that we're saying oh he's done and this and that I think that is the worst thing that you could say about an athlete because this guy might still have something left to prove it may not be as efficient enough as before but you got to remember he is slowly starting to come back from an eye out situation and he's now trying to get himself back he is not 100% and chances are he probably won't be 100% if the Astros make the playoffs let's just be real honest here if they make the playoffs he may not be 100% but I can guarantee you for sure he's still going to be able to be as efficient as he possibly can even if it's at 75 or 80% we may not see him go seven Innings but hey at least he's going to give it his own but my thing is I'm just very frustrated because there are some fans on social media that are just saying hey he's washed up he's done and this and that and look the thing that there was this one graphic this one picture where you remember the uh Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles all four of the turtles raised by this rat this elderly L rat they had this one person posted a picture of all four turtles basically arm and arm and at the middle of them was the elderly rat whose name I forget at this moment but guess you can guess who is the elderly rat in this case it's Verlander and this guy says I think it's time to hang it up after this year really it's time for him to hang it up after this year you're basically saying that you want him to retire after this year look I get it we want to win another champ championship and I feel confident we'll get it in the near future even if it's not this year but you can't just this is what I'm so frustrated by all these fans think they know more than they really do and everyone's saying oh he's just washed up he's done and this and that y y y you know you know how many times have we heard people say Tom Brady is washed up or he is over the cliff he is at the cliff and he you know he's falling down and how many times has Tom Brady proven us wrong he's won about two Super Bowls in his 40s which is a remarkable achievement two Super Bowls at the age of 40 or over that's incredible how many times did we hear people say that Tiger Woods was washed up that he would never be able to win another major well guess what 2019 he makes a birdie putt he wins the match Masters he's the champion for the fifth time in his career he owns Five Green Jackets as the Masters now I'm not saying that Justin Verlander is on the same par as Tom Brady and Tiger Woods because let's be real Verlander is one of the greatest pitchers of all time Hall of Famer multiple championships yes multiple championships no matter how you look at it multiple sa young Awards three no hitters you know I can go on and on with the list of outstanding achievement in his career 3,000 K I think he's gotten over 300 wins at this point but we'll have to maybe needs a little work it there but we'll have to wait and see but he's a Hall of Fame pitcher let's be real but this is where I have a problem because eventually at some point the athlete knows that it's time to hang it up and I think Verlander knows that his time he's no not at the prime of his career his time's going to be coming it's just a matter of when you want to give it up you know Brett farre for instance like another great athlete I can think of Brett farre struggled with this and we talk about his retirement Saga all the time you know he retires with the Packers but he still feels like H I'm not feeling it this was a mistake I need to come back tries to come back with the Packers but then they say no we're going to go with Aaron roggers so farf goes to the Jets has one Bad season for them retires again then he's like N I want to come back I want to play again he goes in Minnesota has probably the best season by a 40y old quarterback or maybe he was about 39 ear least probably the best season by anyone takes the Vikings to the cuss of the Super Bowl and then of course he plays one more year and then he retires so the whole thing with Brett Favre was a crazy Saka but I mean we can joke about how you know guys want to retire but then it's like they they really don't like look I don't understand an athlete I know that if If I Was An Athlete I would struggle with wanting to give it up because I feel like I could still contribute I could still do it you know cuz I'm an athlete I I can toughen this out and everything but it's really hard to give up something that you have a passion for now look at this point my personal opinion I think that Justin Verlander should the Astros make the playoffs I would say he should be move to the bullpen and I know that's kind of crazy talk because verander is not a guy that likes to come out of the bullpen as much but look if you want to have a chance to make the postseason you got some great starters you got framber Valdez having a great season Hunter Brown great season Spencer arag Getti yeah he got rocked his last start but he's been pitching well Kikuchi definitely been a big trade asset for D stros even at first when nobody thought that you know it was the right idea to pick him but ultimately I just think the right move should be to move Verlander to the bullpen however if he is able to give you five innings like if it was a situation where let's say in a best of five playoff series The strs win the first two games if you feel confident you can that he can be able to deliver in game three to send the team packing then you get a chance to start him but bear in mind he may not give you six Innings you might have to use him for three or four and then you have to go to the bullpen game at this point but I know this a guy like Verlander when it comes to the postseason definitely a guy you don't want to lose at that stage you know you don't want to not have at that stage in your career to say the least but I do think if the strows were to make it to the playoffs the order should be Valdez Brown and then kuchi for game three then if it's a situation where you need to go to game four have Verlander pitch get a couple of innings in and then go to the bullpen where you bring arti out and then just go play the bullpen game and if it goes to game five framber Valdez is your guy now of course this is implied that if the Astros were to finish with a top two record because in baseball now you have a best of three Wild Card series which at this point the strolls would be hosting one of those Wild Card series meaning that you need to win two out of three so in a way that's what you you know the strows are having to prepare for just in case they do make it but at this point I'm just saying why are we bashing Justin Verlander like why are we saying he needs to hang it up like it's time to retire this or that is our name Justin Verlander do we have that right to make that decision for him no and I'm I'm I'm telling you this now guys because in my personal opinion I believe that this is the same thing that's going to come up when we're talking about a guy like Jose Altuve who's got another four or five years left in baseball in my personal opinion we're going to be talking about him in a situation where he may struggle and we might say oh it's time to hang it up this and that are we just going to continue to bash him like we did with Verlander you know and say that are we going to be talking about that with Alex bregman hey he's on his last year of his contract with a Str and who knows he might not be back with the stros imagine the fans of the team that he goes to if he does go to another team saying hey why are we you know basic you know why are we giving up or why should you still be playing you know why are you still playing past year the point where you shouldn't be playing I mean you you're hurting the team basically I mean we're going to be dealing with that eventually this run this dynastic run and yes it is a dynasty in my opinion and think it should be declared a dynasty when all is said and done in spite of the fact that for many people it may take a long time to get over which you really need to at this point because it's still wouldn't have made a difference I feel but in this Golden Era run this run will eventually come to an end Mark T Robinson and I had a pod or still had our podcast of two pal on a pod and one thing we talked about was the supposed end of the Golden State Warriors Dynasty and one thing that was said said was all dynasties have horror horrible endings and as much as that cring makes me cringe he's right all great teams will have horrible ending endings because eventually there's going to be other teams that are going to Eclipse them and then they're going to have to be in mediocre for a while until it's gotten to the point okay we need to start over we need to rebuild the foundation and then you just break everything up you make some trades it happens I've seen it happen before four when the Rockets after they won their two championships in the 90s they couldn't win another get back to the finals even when they had a guy like Scotty Pippen on their team and Charles Barkley yeah they had to rebuild the whole thing and start over and those were some not so good years I mean they weren't terrible years but they weren't exactly the playoff kind of years then you think about you know the straws back after they had their World Series run in 2005 the next few seasons they didn't even make the playoffs for a decade they had some good teams but they just weren't able to get out of the NL Central and so they were still stuck in mediocrity and eventually when the new owner came into town and then of course the general manager who I'm not going to say his name I mean I don't think he should be as vilified as much even though he allowed certain things to go on but he basically decided we got to blow this whole thing up and we got to start over and it sucked it suck to have those losing Seasons ask my brother that he'll tell you that those games even though they were enjoying for him cuz he was one of the few fans that went there despite the fact that the team was getting shellacked every single time but it's really frustrating when you you think about the end like you think about the time when your career is coming to an end but it's really frustrating when you have some people say hey you're washed up you're done did anybody consider the fact that Jack Nicholas at the age of 46 won the Masters when and people said he was washed up and done and he had this incredible final round did anybody consider the fact that George Foreman at the age of 45 won the heavyweight championship of the world still to this dat the oldest athlete oldest man to win a heavyweight championship at that age in my uh Viewpoint and did anybody consider the fact that Nolan Ryan who started his career in like 1966 he played 27 years in Major League Baseball and retired at the age of 44 did anybody consider that by the way Justin Verlander loves Nolan Ryan one of his favorite baseball pitchers of all time maybe he's going through the same thing I wonder how Baseball fans felt about Nolan Ryan pitching past his 40s ask a Tex ask a Texas Rangers Fan I mean that's probably the only thing I would ask him as such other than that I would tell him to shut up about certain other things but hey look my point is we cannot not act a fool and saying that you're washed up and done because I'm not I think Justin Verlander will have himself a billy Chapel moment I think Justin Verlander will go out on top in some way pton Manning went out on top with you know a Super Bowl in his last season Kobe Bryant went out on top with a 60-point game in his last game ever Michael Jordan last game with the bulls he hits a game winning shot then I mean there's definitely athletes that go out on top in different ways but man it would be so great if we can get ferlander a Third World Series ring and it would be so great if he has that moment where he is the one that steps on the mound and Records the last out to secure it he may not do it but you know what you can always dream you can always envision because let's be real Justin Verlander is a Hall of Famer Justin Verlander is a guy that we love and if without Justin Verlander this Golden Era for the Astros does not happened so as far as I'm concerned if you're already saying that he's washed up and done you really need to revoke your license as a fan because it's not doing you any good to this point but at the end of the day it is what it is I know that verander had a tough game and I was texting my dad about this actually I let my dad and brother know my frustrations he said look he clearly struggled tonight but he only had two mistake pitches not his best night but we still won the series and that is what it is so listen at this point Verlander is not a guy that's going to go dominate like he did before but if you can have him limit the amount of opportunities for the teams you're going to find ways to win games with the off even if you have to overcome such deficits ultimately I think we need to give Verlander at least one more year unless he decides you know it's his choice he makes the decision I hope he's still on the post postseason team if we make the postseason now right now we're currently four and a half on Seattle and again Seattle is not a team that you can Overlook it's not over the division is not over you know it's going to be a tight race and I knew it's always going to be a tight race even when we had a six and a half game lead but truly I think it's safe to say that a guy like verander should still be on the team even if he may not be the same pitcher you may need to put him in the bullpen okay put him in a bullpen ultimately the guy is deserving of a shot to help the team back into the playoffs and if this Astros run continues even after he retires with the young pitchers that they have right now hey Justin Verlander is a big reason why the stros might arguably have the next best pitching staff in all of baseball at this point but we'll wait and see what happens there and folks when we come back I'm going to recap my thoughts on all the NFL games from week one and I'm going to be making my predictions for week two stay tuned we'll be right back [Music] week one of the NFL season has come and gone and obviously it's probably been one of the most exciting weeks uh opening weeks in the history of the National Football League I mean we had some dramatic games we had some upsets we had some you know incredible finish is uh and just some great play and some really surprising story lines uh for all this Mark I mean probably the biggest uh storyline of the week was the Miami Dolphins uh Tyreek Hill who on his way to the game actually got pulled over and was later arrested for what they perceived to be a speed violation and there is actually a video clip of that arrest on Twitter and I'm just watching this and I'm just kind of I can't believe that this actually took place I mean didn't the guys know like I understand you're trying to pull over somebody for speeding but come on why are you trying to make this a big deal or like try to arrest someone when ideally he's on his way to a game I mean yes Tyreek Hill has had some issues in the past but come on now the guy was on his way to a football game he was doing nothing wrong and then Kawai Cambo I don't know if I pronounced his first name right but actually also got arrested he was a teammate of T reek Hills and he got arrested but he was just simply trying to calm everything down he was having a conversation in a very polite manner but he still got arrested so that was a very crazy deal uh needless to say they both made it to the game Miami did win the game and Tyreek Hill scored a touchdown he actually did a s um a serum celebration where he actually got arrested and made let it be known about that whole thing but yeah there's definitely going to be a lot of you know controversy or stuff that comes out of this and I right now from what I'm seeing it's not looking good for the Miami Police uh let's just put it that way I mean would you arrest someone for speeding if let's say their wife was in labor like I'd say if I were a cop I would give him a police escort I say look I'll take you to you know the hospital let's get you to the hospital get your wife you know in labor then we'll deal with all that later on or I'll let you go with a warning but n the cops in this case did not do a good job so one cop that I know of actually got an administrative leave uh as reported but they're still looking into that whole situation so anyway that was the big storying line as far as that uh the week one for Miami's perspective but what I wanted to do was give out my top five thoughts try saying that as a tongue twister but my top thought top five uh things that I've noticed on week one or things that could be potentially of significance down the road for this later season even though it's only the first week and a lot can change since then so my top five thoughts from week one number five the Houston Texans and the Indianapolis Colts will be the next big divisional rivalry now when you think about some of the greatest divisional rivalries in all the NFL the few that come to mind are the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears the Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Giants those are some great divisional rivalries I mean yeah you can maybe throw the Dallas Cowboys and Washington although Dallas and Philadelphia are more rivalries now than Dallas and Washington was considering that Washington hasn't really been of relevance uh over the past years because of bad ownership but basically there have been a lot of great divisional rivalries but I would say that the Texans and the Colts would probably be the next big divisional rivalry and Sunday's game between the two teams was a reason why you had all this trash talking going on between the two sides the Texans were the ones that eliminated the Cults in the uh last season the Colts players were very upset over the fact that they lost and that could have gotten them to the playoffs instead of the Texans and yet the Texans are being talked about as this next great NFL Powerhouse certainly one of the teams that many people believe can knock off the Kansas City Chiefs if the two teams were to meet in the playoffs but that's ways away so the coachs are probably sick and tired of that then on top of that you have the quarterback play of CJ strad against Anthony Richardson now Anthony Richardson didn't play as much and most people have already crowned CJ strout at least the king of arguably the king of the AFC South division when it comes to quarterback play but you still have Trevor Lawrence obviously and then will Levis you know not really uh a big factor certainly after the cologne commercial that he did but yeah it's uh that the whole thing is kind of crazy in that regards but anyway the quarterback play obviously of significance so you had to think that this game the first game of the season between these two was going to be a classic and in some ways it was it was a great game it was a great opening game uh for both teams obviously the Texans came away Victorious 29-27 but that game really had some drama you know it was one of those deals where it looked like the Colts started off a little early with the lead but then the Texans were able to take the lead and then opportunities to put the Colts away early on but they just couldn't really do that and when they did get the touchdowns the Colts would always respond with a big play Anthony Richardson having a couple of 60 plus yard passes for touchdowns which was a big factor and It ultimately came down to a third and 11 and CJ strad was able to throw a big pass to Nico Collins who caught it on the sidelines and at that particular moment there was a little question as to whether or not he actually had possession of it or so but he did and the Texans ended up running out the clock and they got the win so now they're the only team in the AFC South with the division but this is what I think that's the kind of game that if you want to have divisional rivalries that's the kind of game that you need to have to show that this division the AFC South division will be one of the biggest rivalries uh with between the two teams of the Texans and the Colts considering that historically speaking the Indianapolis Colts with pton Manning had been the kings of the division it had always been you know pton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts and then everyone else and not really any rivalries then there was a period where Andrew Luck was the quarterback and the Colts were still The A Team that controll the AFC South even though there were a few years where you had the Texans that would win the division but then and they would not get to the championship game in the playoffs so yeah I mean that division there wasn't really any significant rivalry but I think with all the stuff that was said in the off season and with this kind of game the Colts and the Texans will more than likely be the next big divisional rivalry and I think Anthony Richardson played very well I mean most people were concerned about how he would Fair considering that since high school he had only had 17 well now 18 starts and a football game and that included all his games in college at Florida so that's going to be a Telltale Sig I think both quarterbacks played very well and this is a rivalry that will definitely I think build up to something now the Texans will still have a rivalry with the Titans because of the uniform situation and the history of Houston football but ultimately it is I I think the bigger rivalry will be the Texans and the Colts and that should be one that fans will definitely tune in for the next few years pending of course that the quarter backs can stay with their teams number four Justin Fields needs to be the starter for the Pittsburgh Steelers now I said that last week uh in my previous prediction in the last episode I said that the Atlanta Falcons were going to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers primarily because Russell Wilson I believed was going to be the starting quarterback but then of course Wilson gets hurt uh in the game and or in a week prior to to that so they ended up turning to Justin fields and I tell you what you know it was it was a very hardfought tight game but Justin fields to his credit he did just enough to win uh that game I mean he had like 73.9% completions 156 yards no touchdowns but a 91.9% rating I mean that was a that's a pretty good start and this guy's only 25 years old now you look at Justin fields's NFL career he he was expected to be the Ohio State quarterback that would break the so-called cycle to break the so-called drought of great Ohio State quarterbacks that never panned out in the NFL and I think that Justin Fields was expected to be that uh way I mean you look at the numbers over his last three seasons I mean he's thrown for over 2,000 yards in the last two but 33 touchdowns compared to 20 interceptions that's definitely something that I know with anybody would have anticipated or expected him at to be at the elite level and of course he was playing with the Bears and the bears were having their own issues uh with the quarterback position as well as other factors but you know Justin Fields I really felt you know he got traded to Pittsburgh and you start to wonder okay why is Pittsburgh trading for Justin Fields when they just signed Russell Wilson to a free agian contract why would you do that and initially you think because Russell Wilson has experience he would be teaching Justin Fields so when Justin Fields is ready to take over he you know would do so but plans kind of changed a little bit and Justin fieldes played tremendously well but I think he needs to be the quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers because I feel like Pittsburgh's uh situation now is that there's a quarterback controversy brewing and the Steelers are playing in a very tight AFC North division with the Ravens obviously being the kings of it at this point but you still have the Cincinnati Bango and I'll get to them in just a moment but the Steelers you know if they want to really make some noise and make the playoffs they're going to have to figure out this quarterback controversy situation because at this point it seems as if Justin Fields will be the starting quarterback next week against the Denver Broncos but uh you I mean that's the reports at least Mike Tomlin has said nothing about you know what's going to happen or who's going to be the starting quarterback he'll have an answer probably after I post this podcast out of which one is he going to be however uh you know Justin fields in my opinion will certainly be the guy to start against the Broncos and if he plays very well I think it's safe to say the answer for the Steelers at the quarterback position should be Justin Fields now I don't think he'll be able to get the Steelers to be among the top teams in the AFC but I certainly think he'll be able to make the uh Pittsburgh Steelers you know a team to look out for especially in the AFC North so the AFC North might be in for more competition than most people expect it so that's my number four Thought Justin Fields should be the quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers number three Caleb Williams did not do anything to show that he is capable of playing the NFL but we shouldn't judge him based off of one game now most people thought and including myself figured that Caleb Williams was going to be a big factor for the Chicago Bears and we all were expecting him to have this you know we didn't expect him to start off very well in the NFL but we certainly thought that he would have a very good game against the Tennessee Titans a team that you know they have you know a very good pressure defensively but also you know a quarterback that has a good chance to make the next step and the next leap but needless to say although the Chicago Bears did win the game 24- 17 they they actually won it based on their defense it was a comeback Victory uh over the Tennessee Titans so Caleb Williams didn't really have himself a great game he ended up going 14 of 29 for 93 yards he had some open receivers that he overthrew and suffice to say you know it wasn't a really great start but one thing he does have going for him is that he's the fourth rookie quarterback to win in his debut and yes so since 1970 quarterback's taken with the fir number one overall pick actually he's the first number one rookie quarterback a quarterback that had been taken number one to win his first ever start in week one and he becomes the fourth player to do so the other three of course Jim plunet who won his first start with the New England Patriots the team that drafted him in 1971 then you had John Elway who won his first start with the Denver Broncos in 1983 and then David Carr who won his first start with the expansion Houston Texans and there was a lot of history in that game as well the Texans became the second expansion team to win their inaugural gam so Caleb Williams becoming part of history as well but you know here's the thing like Williams is definitely going to be under the microscope and there's a lot of pressure on quarterbacks you don't expect a quarterback take a number one overall to win in his start I mean that's why there are three four quarterbacks that have won that but other than that 44 and one so you have to think that Caleb Williams is going to be you know have to have some struggles he's going to have to overcome those and part of that was his fault in the game but also the fact that the running game wasn't great uh the offensive line didn't really communicate well block for him well so clearly Caleb Williams and the Bears did not have a great game offensively but at the same same time you have to think that you know they're going to be able to turn things around and build up from that and that of course will start uh this coming Sunday night when they take on the Houston Texans but I just think that with rookie quarterbacks like yeah you're going to have some struggles But ultimately I still think Caleb Williams can develop into that uh a potentially great player and I know there's a lot of pressure because you look at what happened last year with Bryce young and Bryce young who had himself a horrendous game uh for the Carolina Panthers you know you look at the fact that he struggled with it and I think with rookie quarterbacks not just with the ones that go number one but for the ones that ultimately you know play in the NFL uh in their first season you have to give them some time of course and everyone does that but I think at the end of the day with two with these rookie quarterbacks especially the new generation of guys that are coming in to try to you know replace the old regiment here there's definitely going to be a lot of anticipation and excitement but certainly with Caleb Williams you're going to have to give him some time and everything and I think the Bears will be a big factor uh in the next few years and certainly at this stage with the Green Bay Packers not having Jordan love for three to six weeks this would be a perfect opportunity for Chicago to really threaten the Detroit Lions for the rights to win the NFC North so I would say if this this stretch uh the Bears should take advantage of uh this opportunity if they could put together a couple of wins now it's certainly going to be very difficult at this stage but we'll just have to wait and see uh how they pan out number two this one might be a little bit of a shocker to some people but I don't know if the Cincinnati Bengals are the biggest challenge to the Kansas City Chiefs I mean let's be realistic here the Chiefs and Bengals rivalry has been very it's been pretty uh competitive and you know last year the Chiefs obviously won but that was because Joe burrow wasn't a big factor in and all that and I feel like you know I thought the Bengals were going to be able to play well against the cincin or the New England Patriots in their first game of the season but they ended up losing 16 to1 and that was definitely a shocker and especially at home but you know Cincinnati losing that first game to New England has to be an eyeopener because again Joe burrow is coming off an injury and clearly there's some concerns as far as a coach uh with Zack Taylor who obviously is in a hot seat right now uh the reason of course being that there was an article I was reading that had said that Zack Taylor ran a tougher training camp as he was trying to reverse the Bengals history of starting off slow during his um you know during his tenure as head coach of the Bengals and obviously that hasn't quite worked out well and once again the Bengals find themselves at zero and one and this is this is a concerning time for me uh if I were a bengo fan you lose a game to the Patriots a game that you should have won Joe Bro is coming back from an injury and now you're taking on the Kansas City Chiefs a team that appears to be much better than the one that you have defeated in the AFC Championship Game a couple years ago and and certainly I might add they are the two time defending uh Champions looking for a historic three repeat and you have to go to Arrowhead to play them I mean it's no longer burad as far as I'm concerned because Joe burrow uh you know is just one of those S game or quarterbacks that is coming off an injury and I was really not impressed you know with the Bengals and there's definitely a lot of concerns more so from you know the receiving situation you don't have you know Jamar Chase has a contract dispute going on I mean he's still playing but you then have t Higgins who is injured at this point it's just not looking real good early on for the Bengals now again Cincinnati has this habit of starting off slow and then they find a way to get themselves you know back into the Forefront especially with Joe burrow at the helm or at least make it interesting but this cannot continue like you cannot keep trusting your gut or trusting the situation that you would more than likely have a you know slow start and then get yourself back into the playoff mix that's just not going to work if you're Cincinnati you have to you know start taking advantage and start capitalizing you know with better starts and I don't I just think with Cincinnati after the performance against the Patriots that's a big concern and now you're going up against Kansas City where the chances are they're probably going to go 0 and two so what does that leave them what does that leave you know their franchise at this point this was a team that had a chance to win a Super Bowl a couple years ago and they couldn't do it and now if you start 0 and two looking at your schedule for that point on you got Washington okay that should be a win and you got Carolina that should be another win but that put you a two and two but then you have the Ravens you have the Giants you might be going three and three you got the Browns that's a that may be a tossup game depending on uh the Cleveland situation then you got Philadelphia you got the Raiders you got the Ravens again Chargers I mean I'm looking at Cincinnati schedule and I would be shocked if Cincinnati were to win 10 games based on that schedule I know it sounds crazy in fact I'll update any I think I would be shocked if Cincinnati were to win 11 games because I just feel like Cincinnati has not been able to to execute you know everything ever since their opportunity to get to the Super Bowl or win the Super Bowl and this is why I feel like Zack Taylor is under you know the hot seat at this point and it just seems like every year last couple years he's been in a hot seat and somehow the Bengals managed to survive and last season not really his fault the quarterback situation was bad after Burl got hurt but the backup quarterback did well to keep the Bal was afloat and just missed out on the playoffs but I I mean if I were Cincinnati you have to win this game against Kansas City and if you don't then you're going to be in for a very tough stretch even though there have been teams that have made the playoffs after starting 0 and2 and 0 and3 it's just the situation you got yourself in this game against the Patriots is the one game that I feel that if the Bengals don't make the playoffs will be the big reason why they didn't make the playoffs and I know it's week one and you know lot happens afterwards things change but again this was the game the Bengals I felt needed to win and I think Zack Taylor is in a Hot Seat but I just don't know if Cincinnati is the same team that can contend or compete with the Kansas City Chiefs now if they put on a good show against Kansas City if they are able to knock them off hats off to them they bounce back after a tough game but again a lot is going right for Kansas City and there's a lot of concerns going on for Cincinnati so I'm a little be I'd be a little worried if I were Cincinnati at this point but my number one biggest thoughts in NFL week one you know there are some quarterbacks that have had some very solid starts and have ultimately you know peaked and have never been able to recover you know you think about some great quarterbacks that have potential to make the playoffs but then slowly over the years they just never they never develop into an elite quarterback they never develop to a you know great quarterback but it takes a long time for them for everyone to kind of realize that this is not working but yet I don't know if I've ever seen a quarterback that has been declining fast like DeShawn Watson and I know you're probably saying wait a minute Deshawn Watson what are you T talking about like he had a th000 yards last year before he got hurt seven and four or seven touchdowns for four interceptions seven touchdowns five like look look at this look at this Deshawn Watson threw 33 touchdowns in 2020 a season that was under covid and a season the Texans went a dismo 4 and two that was arguably his best season he had 4,800 yards but yet the Texans only won four Games 33 touchdowns guess how many touchdowns in the three years he's had since then he's had 15 touchdown passes and 11 interceptions and yesterday or as of this podcast against the Dallas Cowboys he put up one of the most horrific performances I've ever seen one touchdown but two interceptions this guy I mean there was so much hype around him and rightfully so he was coming off a National Championship uh as a quarterback at Clemson he was expected to be the best quarterback at taken in the draft of course Patrick Mahomes has taken that title away but everyone was thinking deshun Watson would be the great the right quarterback for the Texans and early on it seemed like he was like there were moments during you know deshun Watson ten as the Texans that you sit back and you think to yourself yeah in a few years the Houston Texans are going to win the Super Bowl with DeShawn Watson as a quarterback and trust me there were but things kind of happened in the off season and that's when we started to see a different side of the Shan like desan Watson gets upset because ownership wouldn't let you know didn't get the coach or general managers that he wanted and they you know he was very upset he wanted to demand a trade and all this and that and Texans fans were very upset at the ownership and then all of a sudden I want to say it was around my birthday that's when the first sign of trouble for Deshawn Watson came when we started to see all these ti9 related lawsuits or just you know multiple SE sexual uh harassment lawsuits at at first with one or two you're thinking Okay this may be a little bit suspicious why are we uh you know what's going on here like this is a joke I mean this is just somebody you know pulling a prank on DeShaun Watson or just making it look bad because of his Expressions to the Texans organization which you know let's be fair was not a very popular uh ownership at the time but as the numbers continued to improve we started to seed four five six then it got to the 10 then it got to the 15s and then It ultimately reached up to 22 lawsuits or somewhere like 22 24 it was up there like the more lawsuits he was hit with with all the stuff with the massas and everything that's when you realize okay this person's there's this is a different person this is not the person that we thought it was and clearly the Deshawn Watson had to get out of here but Deshawn Watson has not had a full healthy season and yet there are still fans that say Hey Deshawn Watson hasn't been great but he's going to be great like he'll get there he may not be what he was in Houston but he'll still be have a chance to prove that he's an elite quarterback and yet this whole thing with the you know the trade that happened between the Texans and the Browns I mean it's not expected to be one of the worst trades it's still possible he could turn things things around well I hate to tell you this Browns fans but you have already sold your soul to the devil on this one you basically had no op right to get Deshawn Watson Atlanta was in position to get him um I'm trying to think was there another team that was in position to get him maybe it was New Orleans was in there I don't really know but Deshawn Watson was not supposed to go to Cleveland until at the last moment y'all decided to over pay and give him you know this contract and then trade this bulkload of pcks for for you know DeShaun Watson which to General Manager Nick cerio's credit it's actually paid off well for the Texans I mean the Texans clearly have won this trade and obviously I know that I've said this on my other podcast but this has a possibility to be the equivalent of the Dallas Cowboys trade for hers or the Minnesota Vikings trading up for hersel Walker you know in return for a bol load of picks which led to Dallas having their Dynasty in the early 90s but let's I mean looking at all the names of the players that the Texans got Kenyan green John mie I third Christian Harris guys that are still on the Texans team and Kenyan green by the way shout out to him he actually had a great game against the Colts blocking wise and John men the thir yeah you know he's kind of slowly coming into his own so he not quite there but then will Anderson Jr the Texans using that pick which they traded up to get Will Anderson Jr with a third pick then this and also tank Dow in the third round so you got the rookie defensive player of the year and the wide receiver that the Texans can rely on if ni Collins and now Stefan digs are covered then you also add get this folks kayin bullick who had an interception against the Colts in the F in the game on Sunday Kamari ler who from early training camp reports is definitely emerging as you know possible Rookie of the Year candidate on the defensive side and then Kade Stover a guy that CJ stra played with and college at Ohio State as a tight end that can also block I mean wow wow wow wow that is saying something I mean the Houston Texans have clearly flee the Cleveland Browns and Browns fans I I feel for you but you have to accept the fact that this was a bad trade this is arguably one of the worst trades in NFL history and it's okay if you could say that because the Texans had a similar trade when they traded DeAndre Hopkins to the Arizona Cardinals for nothing but a bag of peanuts I mean it's typical Cleveland right now and yeah that it's really unfortunate that this has happened uh at this point of the of the Season or this tenure of Browns history but to say the least I just think that Deshawn Watson is clearly not the same quarterback as he was he just looked horrible against the Dallas Cowboys and to make matters even worse apparently he's being faced with another like he's being sued for sexual assault and battery during the 2020 season now I won't get much into details but there is more there's just a lot of crazy stuff that happens and I just I just don't understand what happened to him like what happened to DeShaun Watson this guy had all the intangibles all the tools of being a great quarterback and yet this all this stuff is coming out and his career has just been ruined and I just don't see how he can turn things around he might be able to slowly recover but at this point if I'm the Cleveland Browns I'm just going to go ahead and say it DeShaun Watson is a ter was a terrible uh trade and not only that you spurn Baker Mayfield who is putting up better numbers in Tampa Bay now than Desa Watson is in Cleveland so figures this was a bad look for Cleveland and I'm sorry but Deshawn Watson his career is just slowly on the decline like I I don't want to compare him to somebody like Ray Rice because Ray Rice was a outstanding running back for the Baltimore Ravens but then there was that video that of him getting into a domestic abuse situation with his I want to say his now wife uh but or his girlfriend at the time but clearly that was a bad look that ultimately got uh Ray Rice out of the NFL and it's just a very terrible situation um I mean when when you think about all the players and the domc stuff that happens it's just terrible and it's really bad um and certainly it just shows a lack of character a lack of maturity on everyone's part so in hindsight this is not a good look for the Cleveland Browns and if the Texans were to win the Super Bowl this year or maybe in the next year or so this is definitely going to be the trade that everyone's going to talk about and probably compare it with the uh herel Walker trade back in the 19 uh 1989 season uh between the Cowboys and the Vikings man yeah so clearly uh those are my top five thoughts I mean the Texans and the Colts will be the next big rivalry in the divisional uh in divisions Justin Fields needs to be the Steeler starting quarterback Caleb Williams uh will be a good quarterback he just needs some time to adjust in everything Cincinnati might not be the biggest Challengers for the Kansas City Chiefs and Deshawn Watson might be the biggest rapid declining player in NFL history so those are my five thoughts uh at the moment and now I'm going to step aside when I come back we're going to give out my predictions for week two of this NFL season stay tuned we'll be right back [Music] all right it's now time for me to give out my predictions for NFL week two before we get into that take a look at a recap of my predictions from week one and I had a pretty good week I actually picked 14 out of 16 teams to win their games the only two that failed to get me the W's were the Cincinnati Bengals and the Atlanta Falcons so kind of a little embarrassed by those two performances I know I talked about them in the uh pre previous segment so yeah definitely a little bit disappointing to say the least but moving on now to week number two and I know it's still kind of early as of this podcast but hopefully I can have somewhat similar success I mean at this point it's going to be really tricky to see how everything goes considering that we're going to see some teams go 0 and2 one in one and two- 0 depending on how you look at it but anyways folks let's get right into it week two predictions starting off with the Miami Dolphins against the Buffalo Bills Miami is hosting that game game and even though I felt like Buffalo was a very good team took care of business against Arizona which was a close game Affair I think Miami is going to surprise a bills I think they're going to find a way to get that offense in check Tyreek Hill as long as he doesn't get arrested this time well maybe he should get arrested so that way he can have himself a very strong game and do that celebration again and again of course I don't want that to happen for him obviously because that would be a bit of a distraction as the whole thing is right now but I'm thinking Tyreek is going to go off and I think he's going to get a couple of touchdowns while Tua is going to have himself another strong game Josh Allen should be a great quarterback have a great day but I think at the end of the game the the day the Buffalo Bills are going to fall to the Miami Dolphins next up we got the San Francisco 49ers at the Minnesota Vikings and 49ers fresh off a victory over the New York Jets uh definitely going to have look to keep the momentum going they're taking on Sam darnold and you know the Vikings had a very good win last week against New York Giants but I hate to say this I think it's not going to be the same thing against 49ers so I'm picking San Francisco to win this one Seattle against New England now this is another uh bit of a a game where I feel like both teams are I don't want to say they're mid at this point but New England fresh off an upset win over Cincinnati taking on Seattle who defeated Denver in their first game it's going to be a bit of a tossup game but even though the game's in New England I feel like Seattle will have some momentum going carrying forward from their win and I think they'll be able to go two and0 then you got Washington against the New York Giants divisional game Jaden Daniels looked pretty Sol or decent in his first game against Tampa Bay even though the Buccaneers won the Giants they still got a quarterback problem with Daniel Jones and I think at this point he's kind of on the hot seat and I would not be surprised if at the end of the year unless he turns things around then he would be able to be a great quarterback for the Giants but for the time being I just don't see it I think this is his last year for the Giants and they should know it as well for that with that being said I'm picking Washington to beat the Giants then we have the Los Angeles Chargers against the Carolina Panthers and you know the Panthers got shellacked in their first game against New Orleans while the Chargers had a great running game to beat the Raiders in a way but ultimately I do think the Chargers are going to take care of business down in Carolina and I think Bryce young will have a bounceback game at home but again there's just so much issues with that Panthers organization I mean I don't want to get into it because I know Panther fans are probably sick and tired of hearing about all the stuff that's going on at that moment so I got the Chargers speeding the Panthers Dallas taking on New Orleans that game is in Arlington and you know New Orleans had a big win in the last game but I'm just not sure if they'll be able to translate that against the Cowboys Dak Prescott who recently signed his contract looked pretty well played very well against Cleveland Browns I mean you're talking about two dominant wins against two teams that are uh kind of or M bad in the way but I think Dallas had a little bit more of an impressive showing against the um you know Cleveland Browns last week and I think Dallas is going to carry that momentum into uh week two when they beat the Saints so sorry about that and I think Mark T Robins is not going to like that if he were to hear this podcast I'm sorry Mark I'm just it's strictly business here okay because selfishly I would want to say New Orleans over to Dallas but I got to go with the business side Dallas beats New Orleans and I hope New Orleans Prov proves me wrong Indianapolis at Green Bay you know the Packers are definitely going to be in a tough situation without Jordan love for a couple weeks Anthony Richardson had himself a very solid game against the Texans in week one almost came away with a comeback win and I even though he only went nine for 19 uh passing wise I think Richardson will be able to clear up his you know get more passing opportunities and be able to lead the Colts downfield I think Indianapolis will still be a strong team to watch out for in the AFC South so I'm picking them to beat Green Bay in Lambo Fields Jacksonville against Cleveland and of course the Browns are having a lot of quarterback uh struggles with with DeShaun Watson based on a recent allegation which I talked about in the last segment won't get into it too much but I think Jacksonville they had a 17 nothing lead and then they just blew it all away and you know I think that they're going to bounce back I think the Jaguars are going to be able to take care of business against Cleveland and if the Browns don't figure things out then yeah there's there's going to be some serious trouble up in Cleveland so I pick Jacksonville to beat the Cleveland Browns New York Jets against the Tennessee Titans I really think the Jets I thought the Jets played okay against the San Francisco 49ers I know that you know it wasn't a great dominant performance I mean they only lost 32 to 19 I thought they looked good at times and I think that's going to carry them into this week against the Titans if Aaron Rogers is able to get himself uh you know another strong decent performance and then I think he'll be able to lead the Jets over the Titans so I'm picking New York to beat Tennessee Detroit and Tampa Bay this is a rematch of last year's NFC divisional playoff with the Lions beating the Buccaneers and I really think that Detroit will be able to carry that momentum against Tampa Bay even though I don't think it's going to be an easy game Baker Mayfield was very good uh against Washington last week we'll see if he can carry that over into Detroit but I think for now I got the Lions beating the Buccaneers Baltimore and the Raiders uh the Ravens taking on the Raiders and I think Baltimore will bounce back after losing by a toe breaker uh toe breaker it was a bad defeat uh yeah the game gets called Football H you know Ronald McDonald shoose KD okay I better stop with all the jokes I'm sure Ravens fans are gonna be sick and tired of hearing about that as well but hey who knows you might get a chance to redeem yourself but speaking of which I am definitely going to say the Ravens will take down the Raiders Raiders had a pretty good defense they're offense just not as efficient enough so I think that's going to pose a big problem for the Raiders and I think the Braven will take advantage Lamar Jackson should have himself a solid day Los Angeles Rams against the Arizona Cardinals and you know I mean Marvin Harrison Jr for the Cardinals he did not impress uh let's just be real honest here he was not as impressive in his debut and certainly maybe there was just a lot of too much attention or so I think teams are going to be you know little like not paying attention too much because of his one performance but we'll just have to wait and see uh I think Arizona you know will have a bounce back game the Rams are going to be without uh puka nakua for uh some time and uh that's just going to be one big problem but I think they'll be able to bounce back uh after a tough loss uh to the Lions I think the Rams are going to take take this one so la should go one in one after week number two then we got Kansas City and Cincinnati I talked about the bengos and how I don't think they're no longer or they're the biggest challenge to the Kansas City Chiefs at sarus AFC Supremacy like if you come off a bad loss against the New England Patriots and now you got to go up against the Kansas City Chiefs who are rolling at this point like they're still the best team in all of football even though after week one but considering you know the situation I just think it's going to be very difficult I think Cincinnati will give Kansas City a bit of a push but I just think the Chiefs are just too strong and I think this will probably put the gap between the Chiefs and their Bengals as far as the two you know how close the two teams are and who's really going to be the biggest Challengers to the Kansas City Chiefs as far as AFC Supremacy goes so Kansas City will win this one Denver against Pittsburgh Pittsburgh will more than likely start Justin fields in this game over Russell Wilson which I think is a smart decision and I think he played very solid bow Knicks you know not quite a good start for him the last game but they only lost by six points had a couple of safeties um in that performance as well and a bit of a tossup game but I think Pittsburgh might be able to sneak in a second win I think Mike Tomlin will have a little bit of Mojo going for him at this stage so it wouldn't surprise me if Pittsburgh were to beat the Denver Broncos uh to this point then we got the Sunday night game Houston hosting Chicago the first uh Road game for Caleb Williams you know Caleb Williams didn't have himself a great first game even though the Bears won they was basically off the defense I think that the Bears continue to play their defensive game and force some pressure for the Texans they could come out you know with with something like they could really make it a hard night for Houston but the way the Texans offense played against the Colts you know like they were very spread out like you see receivers having six seven six you know receptions for you know somewhere between 30 to 100 yards as well Stefan dicks had two touchdown catches only 33 yards though Nico Collins 100 plus yards on seven receptions that himself was a great game you know tank Dale definitely getting back to the swing of things I think that Texans offense is starting to you know put things together maybe it wasn't their best offensive game even though they put up 29 Points Joe Mixon ran well in the last game so I think this will be a very good game for the offense for the Texans however the defense will definitely need to improve and this is an opportunity I feel for their the Texans defense to take on Caleb Williams who doesn't seem to have the beis offense going at this point so it it should be a real tough challenge I think Houston will be able to take care of business uh with for this one I'm going to pick them winning against the Bears but it wouldn't surprise me though if Chicago were to have a bounce back in because the Texans have had this Knack of allowing teams that they're supposed to beat put it together strong performances and finishing up very strongly so ultimately I do think the Texans will win this one but we'll just have to wait and see if they can contribute finally the Monday night game Philadelphia against Atlanta and I think after what we saw with Kirk cousins and the Falcons in week one against the Steelers and vice versa with the Eagles against the Packers I think it's safe to say that the Philadelphia Eagles will continue this momentum and I don't know if Kurt Cousins can be able to withstand a Philly team looking to get themselves back into NFC contention as well so I pick Philadelphia to beat Atlanta in week number two so that is my predictions for this upcoming NFL week we'll see how I do and see how I Faire at this point Hey listen uh couple of things actually or no actually just one thing um so obviously I'm getting this podcast out because I am keeping an eye on the weather situation down here as it appears that tropical storm France scen which I believe has been expected to turn itself into a category 2 hurricane is set to hit the Gulf Coast there were reports surfacing that initially it was going to go along the Texas Coastline uh Golf Coast Area so it seemed it was heading in my direction or in the Houston area but last I checked it appeared to be heading Eastward of Houston and bont where I'm at at this point and so at least for now it doesn't appear that we're going to we're we're we're still going to get some rain down here probably a little bit of flooding as well but I know Louisiana is probably going to get it you know hit at this point so I do want to offer my prayers and hope that everything is goes all right and y'all are able to survive if you happen to be listening down in Louisiana um you know this podcast so I really hope everything goes well for you um you know as you get ready to encounter another tropical storm I know my family members are getting ready down there um you know ready for the storm to hit uh which should come in about the next couple of days or so but anyways I hope you guys are able to uh you know hang in there cuz yeah I mean this whole thing with the hurricane season and all that after what happened you know with barl even though it wasn't as significantly worse than what Harvey and Ike did uh down in the Houston area and obviously you know with Louisiana having their fair share of hurricanes like Katrina and everything uh it's you know you just hope and pray that everything goes all right so that being said I I do hope that everything goes well for y'all and folks uh that is going to wrap things up here for my third first edition of crocking locking and dropping I do apologize if some of y'all were a little bit offended by my comments about JV or you know just me defending JV or just how I really feel it's just the way I feel you know I still feel confident that we can win another championship uh you know either this year or in the next few years but that of course might require you know no not having JV around since we know he's kind of nearing nearing the end of his career but I just don't want to say that he's washed up and all that because it just it just kind of makes me so mad you know but anyways I'm still Houston strong I'm Houston proud all the way as a native houstonian even though I currently live in Bowman at this point I do want to come back to Houston eventually so that is going to wrap things up here for my episode feel free to subscribe to my YouTube channel kwc L n91 and also to podbean and Spotify for these
