Tron Carter (0:40)
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the TrapDraw Podcast. My name is Jr. Noor TC, and I'm joined by my esteemed colleagues, much more esteemed than I.
Going from my left clockwise, BallKnowers Pouches, hello.
SPEAKER_2 (0:59)
Good to be here, good to be back. Thank you for having me on your show.
Feeling good. Let's go. Let's know.
Tron Carter (1:07)
Need to keep you away from the electrical sub station out there in California.
Neil, how are we? BallKnowers Neil?
Neil (1:14)
Good. I might steal that one from Pouches. Let's go. Let's know.
I would give Pouches, he's kind of tenured BallKnower. I would say I'm a senior BallKnower. I don't know what we call Randy at TC or junior BallKnower.
Tron Carter (1:27)
Who won last year, Pouches?
Big Randy (1:29)
No. I kicked everybody's ass. So we can say senior high BallKnower Randy. Thank you very much, Neil. My guy Arthur is barking at the mailman. So I apologize if he comes through. He's got some takes.
TC, it's good to be here. It's good to be back with the Council. Pouches, very understated. Your Niners are absolutely kicking ass.
Congrats to you. Our Niners.
SPEAKER_2 (1:55)
I'm sure it's been.
Tron Carter (1:57)
Kyle, Purdy. Purdy looks... I think Purdy's the MVP right now.
SPEAKER_2 (2:02)
I think the markets agree. And I think the biggest thing is that we go back to the original BallKnower's QB rankings. And we had Purdy, I think, at eight.
And that was a couple of years ago. And people were up in arms about Purdy being ranked that high. And now I think people would be...
Big Randy (2:27)
It's insulting.
SPEAKER_2 (2:30)
It might be too low. Yeah, it might be too low at this point. So again, we're all just way ahead. All right.
Big Randy (2:36)
Let's thank our Niners.
SPEAKER_2 (2:37)
Sorry.
Neil (2:38)
Sorry.
SPEAKER_2 (2:39)
I got prompted there. That was not...
Big Randy (2:41)
I'm sorry.
Tron Carter (2:41)
I'm playing hurt today. I'm coming off my deathbed from yesterday. Guys, I got bodied by... I don't know what it was. I even had a fever in years.
Had a fever. It was bad. But you know what? I'm wearing my comfies today. I'm wearing my Roeback. You guys are wearing your comfies too. Randy, you got that kind of billowy hoodie on?
Big Randy (3:03)
Yeah. This is in our shop. It's a Roeback hoodie and I absolutely love it. I just picked it up actually a few days ago.
I had a fall here, TC. I just need the chilly temps. It's still too warm in Denver, but I know it's coming.
SPEAKER_2 (3:17)
TC, you're coming up to New York, man.
Neil (3:20)
Fall, the copy says fall is quickly approaching. Fall's here and Roeback is ready, okay? Get the subtle dog gear out. I'm wearing this Hogan Q-Zip.
Tron Carter (3:29)
Hogan?
Neil (3:30)
Just put it on.
Premium Merino Wool Cashmere Fiber Blend. Guys, I'm loving this stuff. I would highly recommend the Hogan Sweater Q-Zip in the Roeback store.
Tron Carter (3:45)
Pouche, how are you doing on Roeback stuff?
SPEAKER_2 (3:47)
Well, I was going to say, I'm wearing this sick ass Japanese Army of Darkness movie shirt, but because it's a heat wave in Santa Barbara right now, it's like 92 degrees for the last four days. It's hotter than Dubai, apparently.
Yeah, it's been really warm, so I'm not wearing outer layers, but I was up at Bandon Dunes last weekend, and I was rocking the Roeback day in and day out, shorts, shirt, the layers, and then I was just loving it. Perfect for those kind of days where it starts out cool in the morning, and then you can kind of transition into the afternoon, and then it's there for you when it gets cool again at the end of the day. So, I have no business affiliation with Roeback except through this program, but I do like the Roeback clothing, so thank you.
Neil (4:36)
I mean, that's just a bonafide endorsement from a rock star. How about that shit, Randy?
SPEAKER_2 (4:41)
Neil did send me a Roeback order, though, so I appreciate that.
Neil (4:43)
Yeah, right, I did.
Tron Carter (4:45)
Well, rhoback.com.
Big Randy (4:47)
Friends helping friends there, that's what that is.
Tron Carter (4:49)
And you can go get your own Roeback.
SPEAKER_2 (4:50)
Sorry, THG, sorry, THG.
Tron Carter (4:52)
No, THG's been sorted.
SPEAKER_2 (4:54)
THG's good.
Big Randy (4:56)
THG's are with wet now.
Tron Carter (4:57)
Yeah, rhoback.com, that's roeback.com. Use code DRAW for 20% off your first order through the end of the week. Guys, I have a couple updates on Mayaculpas, new Mayaculpas.
