I'm Dhamma Stur and I've been working with the FAP project, managing the Vietnam component for the first three years of the project and as part of the final workshop we've been talking about scaling out and I've been given the task to sort of summarize out of the World Forum. What we've talked about very much was talking about the starting point of scaling out. What are we actually going to, what are we scaling out and we've everybody agreed that we do need a success story which is a successful technology, maybe a process which at a particular site has really provided a benefit for farmers, has provided as excited people and people see potential for many other farmers to also take advantage of that success story. The question then from there comes well, if we're scaling out to a larger scale, where do we scale out? Where to do we scale out? It's not going to be appropriate everywhere, although there may be different options, it won't be everywhere so there has to be the question of who's responsible for actually deciding where this gets scaled out to and then there is a big question of who's responsible for the scaling out, who's responsible for facilitating that process and how do we do it? What is the process? Everybody agreed that there was no fixed methodology for doing this but there were some guiding principles and some factors which actually had to fall into place. When we start scaling out, we're moving into a new sphere, we have to involve many, many more stakeholders, many more actors. Everybody agreed on that, it's not just a technology, but it's a process, it becomes in with private sector, it comes in with cattle, trading comes in with input supplies and many, many, many things which have to fall into place, also credits and many, many other things. So in order to do that, we do need political support, we need a lot of support for the idea of doing this so there has to be very clearly in many countries there will have to be good government support, there may be excitement from NGO sector and from other people who also want to do this. One area which we talked a lot about is that we do need to build a lot of capacity for many, many different things, the capacity for targeting, where to move a project, capacity for facilitating this multi and bringing together and facilitating this stakeholder platforms, bringing those people together and very often this will be the task of an extension service but it could also be an NGO and it could be a traders who are doing that as part of their business plans. There is a big role for media and communication in getting the story out, in building consensus that this is something worthwhile doing. So there is many, many aspects to it and there is probably not just one way of doing it but there are many ways. A couple of things we have talked about which are really important is that in bringing different stakeholders together there is a special skill in some ways and those stakeholders who do this really have to be motivated, they have to have some motivation and somehow that all has to come together and somebody has to facilitate that. So somehow the chemistry of the key stakeholders has to fit. If that is not working then it becomes very, very difficult.


The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INAG, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, has assured the civil society organizations and the local and foreign observers of unimpeded access to polling centers during the 11th November of-circle elections in Amos State, Kogi and Bayosa. He made the pleasure at the regular quarterly consultation with civil society groups in Abuja on Wednesday, with the last meeting held three months ago. Professor Mahmood says 145 organizations including 7,890 observers have accredited for the elections, promising that all accredited persons will soon be invited to collect their identification card to ensure unimpeded access to polling stations. He also assured that the commission is interacting with security agencies to ensure that civil society groups and local observers are not harassed while carrying out their duties. I am glad to note that many of you here today are deploying teams of observers for the three elections. Overall, the commission has accredited 145 organizations, so far deploying 7,896 observers. In the next few days, accredited organizations will be invited to collect two identity cards for their observers. And as we requested, we will also make available to you the stickers, the vacant stickers to identify you so that you have unimpeded access to various locations on Election Day.

And we are live. All right, guys, we've got a special show for you today. I've got my good friend, Michael Sanders here with me. And today's show, we're gonna be talking about Planet Medicines and Ethiogens. Michael, welcome to the show. Hey, Mia, thanks so much for having me. I'm glad you made it, man. You and I know each other for now, maybe like a year and a half, two years, give or take. You've really shared many experiences that you've gone through and stories. Thank you for sharing those stories. First of all, I just wanna kinda jump in and talk about how did you get involved in this space? Like, what was the catalyst or that tipping point that made you aware of these medicines and how do you get involved? Well, I actually think it started when I was about five years old and I was playing with a toy Ferrari and a toy police car. And I was thinking to myself, like, this is not all there is. And why do people care so much about material possessions? Why are people always talking about the weather and not the universe and asking, you know, who am I and what are we doing here and what the hell is going on? And when I was 14, my dad gave me the book, The Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell by Aldous Huxley. And in that book, he's talking about a mescaline experience during which the illusion of separation disappears and he becomes one with all things and he felt connected with the table and the walls and the chairs and that there was no separation. So at 14 years old, you know, I could intellectualize what he was saying but I had never felt that but it certainly piqued my curiosity. And then when I was 16 years old, I had my first magic mushroom experience with three of my best friends. And that really revealed to me the interconnectivity of all things. And, you know, I was, it was during a thunderstorm and there was this fence and we were beside a horse field. And I was watching the thunderstorm and I saw this animal that and we were separated by this barrier. And I just decided, I'm like, I'm going to hop this fence and like be with the horse and I pressed my head against it. And it was just like this deeply bonding experience and the horse and I were communicating.  It was just two conscious entities that were interacting with one another. And so it was that day that really sparked my, my, you know, psychedelic and entheogenic quest. Now, I will say that from the age of 16 until about 26, I used these medicines and entheogens, I'd say more recreationally. I knew I was gaining insights from them and having really wonderful and profound experiences, some of them which were really fun, others which were incredibly difficult. But it was when I was 26 and I went down to the Amazon jungle and had three ayahuasca ceremonies over the course of four days that that really showed me the sort of the benefits of having an intention while using these medicines. And what made you go down there? Like what was the thing that said, yeah, I'm actually going to take the plunge and go down? Well, I first heard about ayahuasca listening to Aubrey Marcus and Joe Rogan talk on a podcast in early 2012. And I knew when I heard them that I was going to drink this strange psychedelic brew in the Amazon jungle at some point. I just didn't know when. And then at the start of 2013, I was going through some really extreme fatigue. I was in a really dark place. I was working as the vice president of an ad agency. I was the co-founder of a startup in the gaming industry. And I was training athletically about 10 to 14 times per week. Never resting, never relaxing, never meditating. Just always go, go, go. So goal oriented, like all these things, right? And it got to the, you know, I was sleeping 10 hours each night and not feeling the slight bit rested. When my alarm clock would go off in the morning, I thought it was some sick joke because it felt as though I'd just close my eyes. And, you know, I was leaving my ad, I would go into my ad agency at noon and have to leave by 3.30 because I was so smoked. And the only thing that gave me any sense of life was to like train and lift weights again. And so I have this love for movement, but it was a love that became an obsession and then a borderline addiction. And then, you know, the breaking point was when I, my strength was pretty much disappearing. And I was only 25 at the time and I stopped getting boners.  Like that's just not where you want to be. And so at that point I resolved, I'm going to put a bullet in my brain if I can't resolve this situation within two years. So I started consulting with a naturopath. He got me to focus on play and meditation. Went to Burning Man for the first time. That's a whole another conversation. But it was upon returning from Burning Man that my best friend Sid asked if I wanted to go down to the Amazon jungle for New Year's Eve of 2013. And as soon as he suggested it, I was all in. And yeah, we headed down there and trekked through the Amazon for a week before leading into our ceremonies. So let's talk about the ceremonies. How was your experience with that? Yeah, so I often say like it shattered my previous paradigm of reality and showed me something so far beyond my wildest imagination that now informs my entire way of being. And I went down there with, you know, like my father's a specialist in internal medicine. I've done, I've studied a lot of science. I, you know, studied a lot of nutrition, anatomy, things of that nature. And, you know, the shamans down there encourage you to set an intention. And also they suggest that Mother Ayahuasca is this intelligent female entity. And I sort of treated it initially as metaphor, sort of indigenous folklore.  And, you know, I couldn't really understand this in a logical sense. You know, why is, why would not eating sea salt be a good thing? And, but I was, I was open to their practices. You know, I figured they've been doing this for millennia. So surely they're, they have their reasons even if I don't understand them and if I'm going to fly all the way to the jungle to do this, like I want to respect their customs. And, you know, we take a bath with this, these flowers and allow the flowers to dry on us and all with the intention of opening us up to this plant spirit. And then we did a yin yoga where we held postures for three minutes at a time again, trying to open us up. And so this thunderstorm ripped through the jungle at about 7 30 p.m. on New Year's Eve of 2013. And this is when I recognized one, like why it's called a rainforest because it's so powerful down there. And two, that I was embarking on some incredible rite of passage. And then, you know, the ceremony began at 8 p.m. And my intentions were twofold. They were, one, to gain some clarity on my career path and secondly, to retrain certain neuromuscular pathways in my body because I was experiencing some physical discomfort that I had attributed to some past athletic injuries. And so I was the first to drink the ayahuasca. We're inside this Maloka, this beautiful wooden structure. It's sort of like a dome with 40 foot tall ceiling right in the middle. And it has thatched roofing and these wooden walls with screens for windows situated right in the middle of the Amazon. And so knowing, having it being well versed with psychedelics and entheogens, I didn't just want to sit there and wait impatiently for the onset of the effects.  So I was sitting there meditating and I get to about the month of October in my reflection and then I feel this fire shoot up the right side of my body and expand across my torso.  And instinctively and intuitively, I sort of telepathically broadcast. It was though I thought aloud, mother ayahuasca, can you please give me five more minutes as I finish my reflection? I think it's important that I do so. And then I feel this voice, this presence respond by saying, yes, my child, take your time and let me know when you're ready. And then the fire receded back down my arm. And Amir, like I thrashed my head to the left and the right, I'm like, who said that?  And so I quickly and intensely finished my reflection. And then again, I instinctively and intuitively telepathically broadcast, mother ayahuasca, I'm ready to welcome you into my mind, into my body, into my soul. These are my intentions. I hope to learn a lot from you. I'm open to whatever it is that you wanna show me and maybe you'll even learn something from me.  And dude, it was the most beautiful maternal warmth that I have ever felt. And then at that point, these purple and green beams of light that look like aurora borealis, like the northern lights emerge from the middle of the Maloka in the Amazon jungle. And I'm staring at them and I'm like, okay, am I hallucinating? Is this some new dimension? Or did the northern lights somehow find their way into the jungle and they're floating five feet above the ground. And so to test their objectivity, I shifted my gaze over to the left and I'm just like, I'm contemplating. I'm like, what is going on right now? And after about 45 seconds, I turned my gaze back and these beams of light had moved towards me. And they were like a cloud that floats to the sky independent of a viewer's gaze. It doesn't matter whether I'm looking at it or not, like they're these objective entities.  And they turned me over onto my left side into the fetal position and man, like the greatest maternal presence and comfort I've ever experienced. And I truly understood then and there, like, okay, this is why they call her mother, ayahuasca. And no discredit to my own mother, but this was like my own biological mother, but this is the greatest mother I've ever encountered. And at that point, I thought, I was thinking like, well, if this is all the ayahuasca experience is, I'm totally happy with that. And I thought I was about to fall asleep. But then at that moment or Mohana is one of the shamans, he starts singing and they sing these songs called Icaros, which the shamans say they channel from higher dimensions and through the ayahuasca and that they're not of their own creation. And it sort of sounds like so, so, wah, wah, wah. And as he's singing these purple, or sorry, these orange and blue shapes start emanating from his mouth and expanding to fill my perceptual field.  And then Ricardo, the main shaman, he starts singing and these red, green and purple shapes start emanating from his mouth and expanding to fill my perceptual field. And then Arcilia, the final and only female shaman, she starts singing in a full spectrum of colors, explodes from her mouth, like more colors than there are in the rainbow. And all of the shaman shapes combine in the visual space while all of their songs combine in the auditory space, together creating this visual and auditory symphony. And the colors and the shapes are forming this cloud-like entity that occupies about 95% of my perceptual field. And I feel the purple and green beams of light lift me up and send me into this new dimension. While the ayahuasca telepathically imparts to me, Michael, this is a dimension that always exists. It's where you're from, it's where you're going, you're in it right now and I want you to go and explore and don't worry, you're safe. And so then the purple and green beams of light severed behind me like an umbilical cord would and I enter this new dimension. And at that point, these three, what I call humanoid spirits, float down onto the right side of my field and they're each about two and a half feet tall. They're all, they have these dark bodies, they're wearing cloaks and they're outlined in the most vibrant colors I've seen, like a neon light multiplied by a thousand. And one of them is outlined in bright red, another in bright pink and another in bright yellow and all three of them are female. And just something I want to iterate to the viewers is that all of the communication that occurs in this space is telepathic, like it's beyond language and there's nothing lost in translation. So I like to use the analogy of the feeling of falling in love. If you try to describe the feeling of falling in love to your friend who's never been in love, I mean, he or she can intellectualize it, but they don't, your words just, they're just dancing around the concept, they're not actually it. But then imagine you can take your experience of falling in love and planted inside the person, now they know. So that's what all the communication in this realm is like. And as these three humanoid beings floated into my field, again, I wanted to test their objectivity because I have never experienced anything like this. And if they were as real as you sitting where you are right now Amir and or as like this chair in my office, you know? So again, I shift my gaze over to the left and I'm like, what is, what is going on right now? And then the beings float from the right side of my field over to the left and they say to me, they're like, hey, like, aren't you interested in what we want to share with you? And I'm like, yeah, I guess I'm interested in what these other dimensional beings want to share with me. So they start, each of them is showering me with love a different forms of love.  I'm like, is this some sort of active infidelity or something, but the beings ensured me. They're like, no, it's more of like a motherly, sisterly, grandmotherly type love. And then at that point, you know, I interacted with these beings that were, they looked like six or seven worm like tubes stacked on top of one another. And they looked like mitochondria from your biology class textbooks, if anyone remembers though, remembers those.  And I recognize that they had this relationship with the gut flora inside of me. So the microorganisms inside of my stomach and intestines. And then I looked down and my gut flora floats up from my stomach and into this perceptual field.  And these little beings start communicating with me. And they're like, Michael, your body is not just your own, but it's a vessel for trillions of different beings. And you want to make it as welcoming and as inviting to the light beings because we affect your thoughts, your moods, your behavior. So they gave me some direction.  They're like, the more you play, the better you're going to feel. And then they gave me these two specific directions which they said, stop eating dark chocolate and stop eating pork. And I was like, I was like, okay, I'm like, I thought those two things were healthy. And they said, well, they can be, but just not for you on your journey at this time. And I asked them why. And then they showed me in this out of body time traveling perspective, they took me back to the entire month of December leading up to me going to the jungle. And they showed me eating two squares of dark chocolates around four or five PM every day before I'd move, play or train. And then they would show me my sleeps that night. So I was watching myself sleep in the past. And I thought I was getting deep restful sleeps, but they were showing me that I was restless. So I was rolling around. I was waking up in the middle of the night. And they just revealed to me that like these things are this chocolate stimulating you in a way that's not allowing you to fully rejuvenate. And then I asked, okay, what about the pork? And then they showed me memories spanning my entire lifetime. And particularly every time I ate bacon, there would be this immediate lethargy that would follow. And then inevitably a three to four day period of like this low grade inflammation where I'd be slightly lethargic, but I just wasn't aware of it. I wasn't putting the pieces together. And when I watched, like when I was experiencing this, I even said to the ayahuasca, I'm like, oh, that's an interesting correlation. And it responded by saying it's not correlation, it's causation. I'm like, all right. So like since that day, I've never bought pork and I haven't bought dark chocolate. And if somebody feeds them to me, that's okay. But it just fundamentally changed the way I perceive things. And after that, I started, I was navigating this field and seeing that there was an infinite number of beings. And it's like being in a world underneath a world night sky. You see there are stars and then stars beyond those stars and then stars beyond those stars. So that's what all of these beings and spirits in this dimension were like and they were infinite number, infinite in degree, infinite in kind. Some that look like animals, plants, snakes, birds, grass, microorganisms, shapes I have no name for because I had never seen them before and I don't think humans really identify them. And but the interesting thing is that each and every one of them was articulating love collectively, communicating love as a whole and showing me that the fabric of our universe's love that it's the creative force behind all things, the big bang in every one of its predecessors, responsible for every work of art, every painting, every song, every written word, the reason why stars explode and cells divide. It's the child who cries, the bird that flies in the grass that grows through the pavement.  And that knowing, like not an intellectualization but a knowing, a feeling, a remembering instilled me with the deepest sense of peace and bliss really that has since stayed with me and evolved and grown ever since. And so like that's the first, you know, 50 minutes of my first ayahuasca ceremony and I ended up having three over the course of four days. So it was about 18 hours under ayahuasca's care. And you know, one of the things that showed me was that, Michael, you've always wanted to be a storyteller, start writing. And so it inspired me to write my book, Ayahuasca and Executives Enlightenment. What advice would you have for anybody who's, because right now it's like a hot topic. A lot of people hear about ayahuasca and ethugians in general, specifically ayahuasca. Is there any like recommendation or advice do you have for people who are maybe interested in this? Because I think I see, let me, let me point it, put it from my perspective. I see a lot of people who are just jumping the bandwagon and just going in because it's the in thing right now to do, which I find very dangerous. This is something that you don't just play around with at all.  So from your own experiences, is there any kind of like very common sense advice you can give people who might have an interest towards this? Yeah, I mean, I would say first off, do a lot of research. And if you are thinking about doing it, find a place where there are trustworthy shamans, people you can communicate with in advance to really understand what you're getting yourself into. I also think it's important not to treat something like ayahuasca as a silver bullet that's gonna cure all of your problems because it's really not the shamans say that the real work comes after the ceremonies because she can show you the whole universe, but unless you start to modify your behavior and embody the lessons and the visions and the understandings, then it could be obviously less worthwhile. And I think anyone who's interested in it, who feels a calling towards it, if it's an authentic calling, I think it is worthwhile to further investigate. And then leading up to it, I think it's wise to the best of your abilities to lead the healthiest lifestyle possible because then that will make you more receptive to not only a positive experience, but one that will benefit you. And by a healthy lifestyle, I mean like being very mindful of your thoughts, observing them, recognizing that thoughts flow through you and you can determine which thoughts you're engaging with. A lot of people have negative self-talk. And so I think it's important to start flipping that script. Having a positive disposition, like developing as much self-love as you can for yourself, a meditation practice, like movement and exercise, healthy eating. I think all of these things really contribute to having a strong ayahuasca experience. And yeah, don't just do it because you think it's like a cool thing to do. Really recognize that you are embarking on a serious journey and that it's not necessarily gonna be easy. People often talk about the purging. Pretty much everyone is puking or diarrheaing or you're crying or a combination of all of those.  But it's kind of like sometimes you just feel like you have the worst bout of the flu ever. And you have to deal with that. And you also have to be willing to like, or I think you should be willing to look at the darkness inside of your own self and like look at your limiting thoughts and your limiting beliefs and the things you are doing to hold you back and be willing to confront them. So I think if you're going into an ayahuasca experience and if you're interested in it, you really have to be open and willing to be shown that like everything you thought might be wrong and could be modified. And not that that necessarily will be the case but I think you just have to have that open-mindedness. So besides like for example, the pork and the dark chocolates, which is a pretty cool story. That's super cool. Have you adopted or changed anything else drastically like through those three experiences that you had? Yeah man, I mean, I feel as though I'm in constant communion with ayahuasca. So I haven't had any ceremony since January 3rd of 2014 but I feel as though I'm speaking with her all the time like through meditation, through dance, through just being like even right now communicating about it, I feel her flowing with me. And so the love is one of the biggest ones. It's a vibration that I wanted and have carried forth with me. And so to the best of my abilities, I embody unconditional love and respect each and everything as a sovereign being that's free to make its own choices. So I don't tend to judge people or things for what they're doing and I just accept them and recognize like, hey, maybe it's not what I would do but they're on their journey and that's what they're choosing. And I've also, you know, I ended up walking away from the startup in the gaming industry that I had co-founded as soon as I got back from Peru. I mean, while I was in the jungle what I thought may have been the most difficult thing in the world to articulate because it was so beyond my previous paradigm of reality that I didn't necessarily think I had the words to communicate it. I, yet I sat in the jungle and it felt like some celestial waterfall was flowing from the heavens through my body and spewing words onto the page as they essentially wrote the crux of the book while in the jungle, you know? And that was the only goal, like the only real goal that persisted from my youth was to write a book that I thought was awesome. So there, like I did it, you know? And I, and it was the most enjoyable experience. And so it was released like a year and a half later. I ended up walking away from the advertising agency that I was a vice president of. You know, it was great. It was financially rewarding. It was really fun. All the people were awesome. But the determining point was when I recognized that my two biggest clients were a bread company and a pork company of which I consume neither.  Keep making a lot of money, but it's not really aligned with who you are. Not that I think there's anything wrong with bread or pork if somebody else wants to eat it, but it's not me. And then one of the other like biggest things is that I recognized through the ayahuasca experience how deep my bond with mother nature is. And I'd always felt connected, but this just took it to a whole new level. And I knew leaving the jungle that I was going to be involved with the environment in some capacity, but I didn't know how it would manifest. And five months after returning from the jungle in May of 2014, there was this three week period during which every day I saw the sun and the moon out at the same time. And after 21 days, I made a note in my phone saying, I don't even know if this is astronomically possible, but I'm paying attention. And the very next day, my friend, Charlie calls me and says, Michael, I want you to come meet this clean energy startup. I think you're gonna be interested in what they're doing. You may even want to become involved. So I accepted his invitation. I go and meet them the next day.  And then they tell me the name of the company is Sun, Moon, Energy. So I get covered in goosebumps. And by the next day, I was a partner in the company. And so I've been on that journey for the last three and a half, four years now. And we're working on bringing infinitely scalable clean energy generation to market. And yeah, man, I feel as though like everything, like my relationships have improved with everybody, not that they were necessarily bad before, but I play a lot more. My life is oriented around play and increasingly so. You know, I have these reminders occur in my life to play even more. So like that's really the central theme of my life. And with that perspective, everything starts to feel like play, you know? Even my work, it's so enjoyable. I find it so fulfilling that it feels like play as well. So yeah, I really feel as though like it's sent my life in a wonderful trajectory. Now, before we went live, you and I were talking about offline, besides ayahuasca, which is, you know, I'll put it on the top bracket. It's one of the most potent and powerful healing substances out there. But besides that, has there anything else or have you used any other plant medicines in your journey of healing? Yeah, I've used a lot. I mean, I mentioned magic mushrooms, psilocybin. You know, marijuana, when I was in high school, I used to smoke a lot of that. It was kind of unconscious smoking, but it did expand my awareness a great deal. And then, you know, be on the plant realms like ketamine, LSD, MDMA, also NNDMT and 5MEO DMT. You know, each and every one of which, all of those medicines have just shown me so much. Like, they're all these incredible teachers with consciousnesses that are there and can show you just such profound insights into everything. So, yeah, I don't know if you want to dive into any of those in particular. Which one have you found out to be the most? Because ayahuasca, that's, you know, the DMT and ayahuasca are two different things. And ayahuasca, if the ceremony takes a lot of time out of you and it's not just like, I'm just going to do it, it's, you're in for a ride. Yeah. But besides that, like for example, you mentioned psilocybin, you know, MDMA, even LSD. Which ones have you noticed that you can almost take as a tool to recalibrate yourself from like a day-to-day basis? Mm-hmm. I, you know, historically, I would say mushrooms, I think mushrooms have been the medicine I've used the most, probably like 60 or 70 times throughout my life. And I find them to be tremendously recalibrating to, you know, step outside of this, because I think all of us as human beings can become indoctrinated to our own identity. You know, like we have an infinite potential of neural pathways that we can be firing and yet we seem to activate the same select few over and over and over again and then that becomes our identity. And so what once could have been this rushing infinite waterfall becomes a narrow stream that has these rocks and debris through these rocks and debris throughout it. And then the psychedelic experience really allows for that rushing waterfall to come back in to remove the debris and the rocks and to allow you to step outside of your identity, step outside yourself and then recognize the infinite potential of all things and how you are free to choose in any given moment and you can change the rest of your life in any given moment. Like you don't have to continue following along that path which I believe is an incredibly liberating perspective to have to know that you're not forced or obliged to continue along the journey with which you're already on. And so mushrooms have been a wonderful way for me to access that understanding, you know, and like on let's say a neurological level there's been a lot of studies coming out recently that demonstrate that through things like LSD, mushrooms, DMT that the prefrontal cortex which is actually your filtration mechanism that determines what amongst the infinite stimuli that's around you will you actually interpret and perceive? So it's filtering out like 99.9% of what's happening around you and then the psychedelic experience quiets that prefrontal cortex.  And so everything's activated much like a child and baby's mind and then all of these new neural connections are now available and they can potentially interact with one another.  So mushrooms have been one and I'd say most recently I find that ketamine is absolutely tremendous. It almost feels like a defragmentation of the psyche and it's a very short experience. Now I recognize that a lot of people might have some negative connotations associated with ketamine. I certainly did prior to having tried it. And I believe I'm in a small percentage of people who uses it ceremoniously and it really enables, I've even read like research on it in scientific journals and the language they use is quite similar to my own and that says it allows you to step outside of your identity and merge with the one energy that exists amongst all. So you can, you know, it's sometimes, it's called the dissociative.  And like I have gone to the origin of the cosmos and merged consciousness with those who are around me to the point that there are no thoughts beyond this one group consciousness that we're all sharing. So you can see like see and be with the thoughts and feelings of one another. And so I find that an incredibly, like I said, defragmenting experience and it's quite a short experience about 45 minutes typically. You know, LSD is another one. LSD is a much longer journey. It's like 12 to 24 hours. And just one caveat I'll say is that with all of these medicines, especially ayahuasca, like I would encourage people to really like block off the time to be with them and to not schedule anything like surrounding them. So I mean, my ayahuasca ceremony, it was like two weeks of just really focused on it leading up to ceremony. And then I think it took me about three weeks to even go back into my advertising agency. So it was like five weeks where I was just devoted to that. And I allowed myself that space. And then with mushrooms in the past, I've always like left two days on the other side of it before anything is scheduled with LSD. There's always two or two days on the other side of it. Especially when I was younger, now I find I'm able to integrate these experiences much more quickly. So I could theoretically even have like a business meeting the very next day, but it's still not something I would schedule if it came up, that's all right. But yeah, I mean, I think they all are incredible teachers and tools. Like MDMA really, when I was younger, it sure, I think I tried it the first time when I was 22 or 23. And it really expanded my heart and allowed me to realize that like everybody wants love. Like everybody wants this connection. And I needn't worry about like, let's say being too affectionate. I think that in, especially like the machoism that exists in like North American universities and like man in this alpha male and like all this shit, like you kind of get disconnected from the idea that like you can just tell your friend that you love them and like you really appreciate them. And like MDMA really showed me that because every time I did it, it's like, everybody's so receptive. Like they love it. It feels so good. And what's interesting is that I feel as though my heart is now expanded beyond any MDMA experience that I ever had back when I was 23. And it's just now like my default, how I am all the time. So as a result, I rarely take MDMA now. Whereas like back when I was 23, when I first discovered I was doing it like every other weekend for about a year. And now it's like maybe once a year or maybe I won't do it at all, you know? So I think like you asked about tools and yeah, I think they're all tremendous tools. And sometimes as well, like there's this saying like once you receive the message hang up the phone. So if you've learned all you can from a medicine and at that point it's just becoming like, you know, whatever there's not that much intention behind it then maybe you don't need to do it anymore. Yeah, that's a good point. And I do want to stress that as Michael just stated there's many different opportunities for you to heal yourself. And it's up to you to figure out what you want to heal first. What's your intention? What's the actual problem you want to do? And you have to figure out what works for you. And what's really important though too is I want to stress that your environment and the group of people you're with and the facilitation of the actual experience is really important. And back in the day when I was young I used to do everything.  And there's no intention.  But it's really important that you have a proper intention and a proper environment and proper people around you to facilitate that experience. Totally. Yeah man, I think any one of these experiences could be absolutely hellish in the wrong environment. And you'll probably end up learning a lot from that too.  And I also think this active intention and treating these things as medicine and using them ceremoniously extends beyond just that circumstance and then carries over into the rest of your life. So if you treat those situations as ceremonious and intentional then you begin treating other things like whether it's you going to the gym in the morning or like at night whenever you do it and treating that with intention. Like why are you doing this? As opposed to just trying to get through it it's like be with it. Like treat it as how much like amazingness is like going to the gym and like moving around giving you. Like it's providing you with so much vitality and health and vigor and like it's doing so much. So really like embody that and embrace it or your work, you know? Like rather than trying to get through it like set an intention what is it that you're trying to do with your work? Are you trying to help people or are you just trying to make it till like five o'clock so that you can check out? So I think, yeah like treating these things with intention like you're saying man set in setting is tremendously important. I think especially like if you're unfamiliar with some of these substances you know like DMT for example I think a lot of people will smoke it without a guide or a shaman and I never have. And I just, I can't even imagine how somebody would even arrive to the breakthrough experience. For one I don't, to me it doesn't seem physically I mean I don't think anything's impossible but it seems very difficult to physically inhale enough of the DMT to have the breakthrough experience if you don't have a shaman with you.   Do you have any recommendation like resources for people to check out? Yeah I mean like maps if you wanna do research so the Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies they do a lot of research on MDMA assisted psychotherapy they also have like you can look in their back catalogs of research and they have LSD studies. The Hefter Institute H-E-F-T-E-R they do a lot of research with psilocybin both of them do a little bit of research with ayahuasca as well maps is also doing research with ketamine if like one really incredible film if I were to like you know hold any film in the highest regard of just like explaining entheogens I would say it's called neurons to nirvana it's really great it's very scientific I actually showed this film to my dad because when I first started speaking with him about my ayahuasca experience is him coming from a medical background he was initially somewhat dismissive of me telepathically communicating with the Neville Olympians of other dimensions and it took me a while you know like it took me a couple years before we were able to start speaking about it and it was largely due to the fact that I started speaking his language and showing him like hey like look at this film neurons to nirvana that has high production value and is supported by all these like leaders in the fields of psychiatry and psychology and all sorts of you know authoritative figures and then that sort of opened my dad up and allowed him to start getting it and then you know he read my book and then now we can talk about it all the time but so I'd say like neurons to nirvana is a great resource even like if you go on Facebook and look for different groups like ayahuasca is a group on Facebook and there's tremendous resources about people who devote their lives to these practices and these traditions and they're a wealth of knowledge and like they share this stuff so freely you know and like if you're interested in ayahuasca ceremonies you can surely find navigate to find information that way you know some of it might not be tremendously obvious because there's certain legal issues but if they are someone operating in Peru then it's totally legal so they can like talk about it openly. If you're interested in DMT I would say like go on meetup.com there's some good resources that you can find there. I mean I'm sure there's you know Arrowwood E-R-O-W-I-D that's forums where people share their experiences by using different medicines and it's been around for like as long as I can remember I feel like 20 years even maybe. So there's a wealth of information there and then I just think you know like Wikipedia can give you a lot of insight into like the chemical composition of these different substances and yeah just like you know Googling around there's tons of YouTube content of people like expressing their trip reports. Where can people get your book? If you go to my website michaelsanders.co so .co my book there and there's also other tons of stories about different medicine experiences like 5MEO, DMT, NNDMT, mushrooms, aliens all sorts of great stuff. Awesome Michael I want to thank you so much for coming on and sharing your story and sharing the experiences you've gone through. So for everybody if you want to find out more make sure about Michael there's a link below the video I have at their michaelsanders.co and thanks again Michael have a great day. You're thanks so much and thanks everyone. See ya, cheers.


You've probably heard of Jim Harbaugh, and you've probably heard of John Harbaugh. But have you heard of Jack Harbaugh? Jack Harbaugh really only cares about four things. Hooters, zingers, cheating on his wife, and Big Ten Football. Now Jack has a dream, and that dream is to win an NFL Super Bowl using a roster compiled of only Big Ten players. Wisconsin, Rutgers, Purdue, Penn State, Ohio State, Northwestern, Nebraska, Minnesota, Michigan, Michigan State, Maryland, Iowa, Indiana, and Illinois. Every single player on the roster must be from one of those teams. And for future auto-generated draft classes, I can only draft Big Ten players. So if there's a generational quarterback, but he played at Georgia, I cannot draft him. Alright boys, we'll kick off the season with a fantasy draft. My goal is to get at least one player from every Big Ten team. We got round one pick, 15. We're smack dab in the middle basically. Honestly, TJ Watt is an insane option. Wisconsin doesn't have too many good players too, so this would be really nice to grab an insane Wisconsin stud. He's 28 years old, so he's not gonna get too much better. But I hope to win a Super Bowl in about year four, year five. So he'll still be really good then. I'm taking TJ Watt, 15 in true value. Drafted him at 15. You gotta love that. No! George Kittle just got taken. No, last pick was George Kittle. I wanted him. That's actually such a bummer. Honestly, one of my favorite Penn State players of all time is Saquon Barkley. So I gotta go Saquon Barkley here in the second round. Another really good true value pick. He's already Super Star X factories, 26 years old. Saquon's a move. Taking a look at quarterbacks. I was scared that CJ Straub would get drafted and he did. We have Kirk Cousins who's Michigan State. I just don't know if Kirk can really take us to a Super Bowl. I mean, maybe he can. Honestly, we could go Ohio State still. We could go with Justin Fields. Justin Fields is Star. I honestly think Justin Fields will be available next round. I don't think we have to take Justin Fields right now. Let's try to get something else. This is probably a little too early to take him. But I think it's going to be hard to get a Minnesota Golden Gopher. I can't think of a lot of Minnesota players. Antoine Winfield also a really good true value pick. So we've got Saquon, TJ Watt and Antoine Winfield. We've covered Minnesota Penn State and Wisconsin. I'm saving some of the big teams. I know Ohio State's going to have studs all over the place. Shit! I wanted Witherspoon. Shit! Dude, this computer who picks right before me is sniping my big 10 players. Next up, I'm taking a wide receiver. I'm going to take Chris Olave. This is our first reach considered by Madden. I was looking for Garrett Wilson. He was taken, but Ohio State has a lot of good wide receivers in the league. So Olave is a great option too. So we've got Wisconsin Penn State, Minnesota, Ohio State. Is there any young quarterbacks that we can get? Justin Fields. Justin Fields is still available. This is definitely my best option. I'm glad I didn't take him earlier. I was going to say it's still probably a reach now, but I just want to be safe. Back to back Ohio State guys right there. They don't call Iowa tight end university for no reason. This is probably a little early to take La Porta, but that's the biggest problem with these drafts. It's just getting all the players from the teams you want and making a good selection. Like that was actually aggressively early for La Porta there to get him in the sixth round. But dude, I was just thinking how hard it's going to be to find a Rutgers guy. Isaiah Pacheco is Rutgers. It's going to be weird to have two running backs. You know what I could do? I could try to trade Saquon Barclay and get my hands on Michael Parsons. What if I had TJ Wad and Michael Parsons? Cause Michael Parsons is Penn State. I think I got to take Pacheco here just cause there's not a lot of Rutgers guys. Here we go. This is actually a really nice pickup. I definitely could trade Saquon Barclay now. Jaquon Brisker. Star Penn State. I think Saquon will have good trade value too. And then we have Pacheco. I actually feel bad now, but drafting Saquon may have just been trade bait. What about Purdue? The only Purdue player I can think of in the league right now is there's George Carlaftus and Ron Dale Moore. He's the only two I know off the top of my head. Here we go, Illinois. I did not know that Kirby Joseph was Illinois, but Kirby Joseph is 22 star 78 overall. The thing about that is like if you did the rookie draft and you got a 78 overall star player, it would be a amazing pick. But in Madden, like they're calling that a reach. I think that's just crazy. That's an amazing pickup for franchise right there. Jack Campbell's Iowa. I am totally picking him up. I love Jack Campbell. He progresses so well in these games. Oh yeah, the Lions did back to back Iowa pickups. I remember that we drafted La Porta and then we drafted Jack Campbell. Maybe it was the other way around. But who else is available? Dexton Hill, Michigan. I have three safeties now. Somebody's probably going to get moved to a corner, but either way, we're getting somewhere right now. I don't have anybody from Northwestern and I don't have anybody from Michigan State, but I have somebody in mind. Let's see if he's available still. Please tell me you're available. No way fucking. Oh my God, somebody took him. I am 100% trading. 100% I'm trading for Jaden Reed. Jaden Reed is literally my Eskimo brother. And yes, I say that every single video that I mentioned Jaden Reed and I will continue to. Nico Collins is Michigan. No, I'm going to take Nico Collins here. Solid young wide receiver. There's Ron Dale Moore too. Here's our Purdue guy, Ron Dale Moore. I'd prefer Carl Aftis. Maybe we can find a way to trade for him. I have no D-tackles right now either. Oye Mafe is Minnesota. We'll take him next. I have no O-line.  I have literally no O-line. How did I forget about my entire offensive line? We'll start with Taylor LeWon who's Michigan and star. Just got to hope that he doesn't retire. Left guard will take Norwell. He's Ohio State. We do not have a Maryland player. Hey, you got to give it to the Big 10. The Big 10 can produce some offensive line and I have so many options here.  The only thing is offensive line just like does not matter. It's kind of sad, but it really doesn't. Ted Keras, Illinois baby. Illinois center. My O-line is kind of old though. Hopefully we don't retire en masse. If the whole O-line has a coup and all retires at the same time, I'm going to be in trouble. And then I'm going to take the 23-year-old right tackle. Super low overall, but at least these young, you should get better. I'm going to take Maurice Hurst out of Michigan at D-tackle since we don't have a single D-tackle at the moment. I don't have a player from Northwestern at all. That's the only team I don't have or Indiana. I don't have Indiana or Northwestern. Let's find an Indiana guy and a Northwestern guy and we'll call it a day. Actually, before I do that, I need corners. I don't have any corners either. Let's start with Amani Oralaria out of Penn State. Oh dude, it's getting greasy. It's getting so greasy in here. SEC was so much easier. I guess I can go Bradley Brown. He's washed. Cameron Mitchell Northwestern. Let's go a 21-year-old corner out of Northwestern. Kim Mitchell. Let's go. All right, knocked you out. Now it's time for Indiana. Dude, what does Indiana got? Who's a Hoosier out here? Let's sort everybody by age till I find a Hoosier. Micah McFadden. Indiana middle linebacker 23 and he's a good pick. I like that. All right, boys, that was our final pickup. I have one player from every Big Ten team. I do have some adjustments to make. I'll probably be trading Saquon. I'm gonna advance to the end of the draft. Keep in mind my backups may not be Big Ten players. The important thing is everybody that touches the field is a Big Ten player. All right, we're an 81 overall team. Let's look at this lineup. So our backfield right now is Ohio State Penn State Rutgers. I think we trade Saquon Barkley because Pacheco is so good and he's gonna progress so well that why would we have two great running backs? Let's get some value out of Saquon. Olave's at wide receiver Ohio State. Nico Collins, Michigan, Rondale Moore, Purdue. My offensive line, all Big Ten. And then we got Iowa at tight end. They're tight end university. No shocker there. Defensively, we've got Jack Campbell, Iowa. Olay Moffay was what, Illinois? Olay Moffay was Minnesota. Our backup middle linebacker is Micah McFadden. Left outside linebacker, of course, is TJ Watt. But I'm gonna change my scheme here. I want TJ Watt to be... Actually, I might just move TJ Watt to left end. I also, some of these guys are not Big Ten. Murray's horse is Big Ten, but Devontae Wyatt is not Big Ten. Devontae Wyatt and Josh Pascal are actually both SEC. So I have to drop those guys and get some new ones in. We got Oro-Warrier. We got Brisker, Kirby Joseph, and Dax Nail.  I spent, Jesus, I got so many safeties. All right, let's move some of these guys over to corner. Kirby Joseph is honestly not a bad corner. He's got good zone coverage. Good man. His block setting is already really bad. So yeah, Kirby Joseph might as well be a corner anyway. He's a really good option here for corner. Troy Hill is Oregon. We just got to make sure that Cameron Mitchell is starting. I'm making TJ Watt a left end. TJ Watt is now left end. I'm gonna move Michael McFadden to outside linebacker. There's two players I need. Ironically, I went to Michigan State. I'm wearing the Michigan State gear and I don't have any Michigan State players. There's really only two that I would want though. There's Kenneth Walker. There's Jaden Reed. Kenneth Walker's not gonna help us because I'm gonna rock Pacheco. So I need to get my hands on Jaden Reed. I need to figure out where he is first. Jaden Reed's on the Eagles. They have pretty good depth. They got Puka Nakua. I can't imagine it's gonna cost that much to take Jaden Reed from them. Let's see if they'll take him for like a really shitty draft. Seventh round. Okay. I didn't even consider that. I'll trade you, Niko Collins. Niko Collins and a fifth round pick for Jaden Reed. Sorry, Niko Collins. Love you, bud. Jaden Reed's time.  So yeah, here we go. Now, as I say that, right, I wanted Micah Parsons. But you know who's another really good option that isn't Micah Parsons? Is Aiden Hutchinson. I think it'd be easier to get our hands on Aiden Hutchinson and he should still progress really well. He's on the Bengals. He's 87 overall, a superstar. I almost feel like they win this trade. If I give up Saekwon for Hutch, let's try and get like a first round pick out of it too because I don't have a first round pick right now since I'm the bronze. Oh my God, they almost did that. I'm so glad I upped that trade. So I could get, Saekwon is very valuable. I could get Hutch a first and probably a second. Dude, this was a really good trade in my opinion. So we give up Saekwon, two third rounders and a fifth rounder. We get the Bengals, Aiden Hutchinson and their first and second round pick in the upcoming draft. That's massive. Keep in mind we will trade those picks if there's no good Big Ten players available but that remains to be seen. All right, boys, here is Jack Harbaugh's official lineup. We're ready for season one. Got our hands on Michigan State's Jaden Reed. I'm gonna make him a focus point of this offense. I love Olave. Olave's really good too. But Jaden Reed is even younger. I'm putting him a slot wide receiver. I want him to get crazy good reps. I'm obviously a little biased, but hey, it's my video. I got Daxton Hill at slot corner. TJ Watt at rush left end and Hutch. TJ Watt at rush left end. Hutch is at rush right end. Maurice Hurst at detackle. And then Jack Campbell and Micah McFadden are my sub linebackers. Offensive line looks great. We're not a very high overall right now but my team is very young. We have a lot of young players on this team. Only other adjustment I wanna make is my sub linebacker. I'm gonna put Daxton Hill as my backup sub lineback. Those guys end up getting a lot of reps in like nickel formations. My offensive scheme is gonna be West Coast zone run. Defensively we're running a base four three. I've got Kansas City on offense. Hopefully this will allow Justin Fields to develop into a more past oriented quarterback. And that's so much a scrambler. As much as I'd love to run Bears offense I actually wanna win games. And then defensive playbook, I'm going Dallas. They have a good four three scheme and they run four six. I think that'll be perfect for Hutchinson and TJ Watt. I think we're ready to go boys. We're three and three at mid season. Our overall is definitely going up. We're certainly not a playoff contender right now but I'm happy to see that we're winning some games. Jack Harbaugh coaching legend. We went 11 and six in the first season. I mean it is a fantasy draft so roughly everybody's team is the same overall but I am very shocked that we played this well in the first season. Let's take a look around the league to see how our players did. Justin Fields was 13th in the NFL in passing yards. I'm shocked we went 11 and six. We must have played really good defense. Did we win any awards? We're not in the MVP running at all. AFC offensive player of the year ends up being Najee Harris. Defensive player of the year would you look at that fifth in the league is Aiden Hutchinson. TJ Watt nowhere to be found so Hutch is up there. Offensive rookie of the year goes to Bijan Robinson. Jaden Reed gets fifth. Sam Laporta gets eighth. So we're certainly up there but couldn't beat Bijan. Defensive rookie of the year. No, Jack Campbell comes in second to Jalen Carter. Came really close boys. Cam Mitchell great season for him comes in seventh. So we had some guys in the running but nothing crazy there. Doesn't look like we won any awards this season. Unfortunately, so I once again, I'm really shocked that we're 11 and six without winning any of those things. Justin Fields had an okay season 25 and 10 3700 yards full NFL Geno Smith. Did I'm telling you Dallas Cowboys offense.  Kansas City offense Russell Wilson. Josh Allen is third. Anthony Richardson is fourth with Steelers offense. That's actually insane. I've never seen that before. And then Danny Dimes on the bills. Herbert, Ritter, Goff, Purdy. This game is so fucking. Alrighty, Pacheco had 1100 yards and 13 touchdowns. Love to see that. Jaden Reed 931 and seven. That's an okay season. We're looking to definitely bump those numbers up as Justin Fields gets better. Moore had a good season. Laporta had a good season. A lot of a very uninvolved. That's shocking to see. He is my wide receiver too. So maybe I got to move into wide receiver three where Rondeo Morris. That's weird. Defensively Jack Campbell leads our team in tackles. He had a sack and two interceptions. Michael McFadden had 117, 8 TFLs, two interceptions. Daxton Hill, three TFLs, four interceptions. Great season for him. 11 and a half sacks out of Aiden Hutchinson. Seven and a half out of TJ Watt. You got an issue here. Josh Pascoe's coming in. He shouldn't be. He's Kentucky. I just got to cut him from the team and get somebody else there, I guess. I don't know how that happened. Moffay had a good season. Hearst was okay. Okay. I got to figure that out. We'll be good. He's the backup to TJ Watt in the depth chart. That's so weird. Who knew Boye Moffay there? Moffay is a good edge rusher. I'm going to move Moffay to my backup to TJ Watt. Hopefully those stats will go to him next season. If we make it to the championship, I'll watch, but I don't expect us to go for a run here. We just beat the Broncos. There's no way we beat the Chiefs.  This is where we lose. Is this going to be the shortest rebuild of all time? Oh my God. Is this going to be the shortest rebuild of all time? We just beat the Chiefs. Dude, look at this playoff bracket. 28 to 14 against the Chiefs. 21 to 13 against the Broncos. We take on the Houston Texans.  Jack Harbaugh coaching a legend. Wait a minute. I have never won a Super Bowl in my first year ever. It's never happened to me before. Could have happened right now. I'd keep the rebuild going anyway, even if we wanted here. But dude, let's scout the Texans real quick. Texans have Lamar Jackson, Cam Hayward, Charverius Ward, Jalen Carter, Chase Young.  Look at that D-line. Chase Young, Jalen Carter, Cam Hayward, Van Der Ash, Rashad White. This is a weird team. Who are your wide receivers? Darius Slaton? Cadarius? It's like, geez. It's a bum squad. Dude, I'm surprised they made it this far. Let's do it, boys. 85 overall, Browns taking on the 85 overall Houston Texans. They got two X-Factors. They only got one. I'll probably play one drive on offense and defense since I want to test out this team we built. But I don't want to heavily influence this game. Let's let our boys play. Play a little defense. We got Jack Campbell and McFadden in the middle.  Hutch and Watt. He finds a rifle. Big hit on Cadarius. Tony. That was Jakuan Brisker. Penn State. Oh, is this a little run play? I'm going to hop on Jakuan Brisker and blow this up if it's a left side run. Oh, it is. Oh, it isn't. It's play action. I vacated my safety. Big hit. Hey, boye mafe with a monster hit right there. I'm going to blitz everybody. Get home, boys. Second and six. Lots of blitzers. And oh my God, I just whiffed. Jordan Addison's going to... I just got my ankles broke by the computer, bro. Lamarza Beast in that pocket and delivered. Houston 7-0. The All-Big-10 lineup in the AFC Championship in their first season. Pacheco in the backfield. Rutgers. Olave, Ohio State. Justin Fields. Ohio State. Jaden Reed, Michigan State. Sam LaPorta, Iowa. Rondale, Moore, Purdue. Let's see what we got on this opening drive. Don't forget that Justin Fields can run. I think we just got a holding. No discipline out of the Big-10. Yikes. And it was our 69 overall right tackle to Nicholas Petitfrier. That's a bummer. All right, let's go get it back, boys. Oh, I see you right there, Jaden Reed. We're going to the Inglis, baby. That's my Eskimo, brother. Yes, I'll keep making that joke.  Here we go. A little RPO to the boy. Jaden Reed. And did I ever tell you guys me and him had sex with the same girl? Did I ever tell you guys that story? Okay. First and 10. Let's go, Sammy Boy. Big LaPorta. Huge catch. Second and inches. Tempo, tempo, tempo. We're moving this offense quick. I think LaPorta is going to have a seam here. Let's not predetermine. Oh, but he does. Justin Fields is still Justin Fields. Yikes. Hey, it's 30 inches. They do have an insane D line, but I still believe in Pacheco. Pacheco was born for this. Pacheco, get out in front. 14 yards. Great work. All right. Now we're going to take a big shot here. Chris Olave coming across the field that looks like man coverage. I just need a little bit of time. Step up in the pocket. He's there. Great ball in the end zone. Let's get it, baby. Seven to seven. That's as much input as I can have. Let's send it to the end of this game. Seven to seven. Texans score. Browns respond. Texans respond. Browns touchdown at 17 to 17. Oh my goodness.  No scoring. 20 to 17. Oh my God. Are we about to win? Second and 12. Texans have no timeouts left. We actually could win. I can't believe he didn't hand that off. Checks down to Pacheco and goes out of bounds. What are you doing? Hand that off so the clock ticks. Third and 12. Cleveland's got 332 total yards. DeSean Watson in the pocket. Wait, you're not this.  Say DeSean Watson. Justin Fields flushed out of the pocket. Got a punt here. Kind of a punt dot. Oh my God.  I'm the one. I've never seen that in franchise before.  That might have just iced the game. First and 10. Houston needs a field goal to send this into OT. But they're taking it out of their own end zone. They have no timeouts. That second and five. That clock is ticking.  No timeouts. You got to go 99 yards in a minute 50. I'd be impressed with some hot pass rush. Great defense. Daxden Hill boxed. Hutch. TJ, get home.  Those tackles have no abilities. He's getting rid of that ball so fast though. Another great break up. Is that Cam Mitchell? Oh, it's not. Kirby Joseph. Fourth and five. This is ball game. We win the FC championship. We get to stop right here. Take over from the five. Fourth and five. Stepping up. Oh, almost intercepted, but the SWAT was the right call because we take over on the five. Victory formation. This game is over. Oh my God. Are we seriously going to do this? I've never won it in the first year. Jack Harbaugh wins the AFC Championship in his very first season off of a clutch defensive performance from the Big 10. Justin Fields had a really good game. 2-23 for 33. Two touchdowns, no interceptions. Lamar was also solid. Rashad White was good. Pacheco was a little bit better. It was defensively where we won that game. 12 tackles Jack Campbell. A sack out of TJ Watt. A sack out of Aidan Hutchinson. And Aidan Swann Winfield forced a fumble. That's how we won the game. He also recovered it. Minnesota. The goal and go for stepping up for the Big 10. That's huge. That's how you win that game right there. Jaquan Briskers getting an upgrade too. He ended up being a really good pick too. Taking all those safeties was nice. Plus one speed, plus one hit power on Briskers. Very nice upgrade for him. Dagston Hill is playing that sub linebacker really, really well too. Reminds me of another Michigan safety. Jibril Peppers. All right. That's a win right there. We can take this up to the Super Bowl. I don't know if my players get DevTrade upgrades for making the Super Bowl, but hopefully they do. It's really our only chance to get DevTrade upgrades because this season we didn't play. Nobody played well enough to get a DevTrade upgrade. Our Super Bowl is against the Washington Commanders who have Christian McCaffrey and what else? What? Well, I guess it's a fantasy draft. So it doesn't really matter what team I take on. McCaffrey, Joe Burrow, Tyran Matthew, Hendrick, Cindy Forrest, Buckner, Calvin Ridley, Zadiri. This is a scary-ass team. Damn. McCaffrey and Sheisty. Got that grit backfield. Lots of big upgrades. Daxton Hill, Boye Mafe. Wait a minute. There were DevTrade upgrades because Daxton Hill got Superstar. I think it just said. So offensively, no DevTrade upgrades. Just unlocked Jayden Reed, unlocked Laporta. But defensively, it looks like Jack Campbell, Aiden Hutchinson, Daxton Hill, and Michael McFadden all get a DevTrade upgrade.  Defense wins championships, boys. Defense wins championships. That's amazing. Daxton Hill, Jack Campbell. Damn. We went from an 80 to an 85 overall team in one season. And we went 11 and 6. It's not like we went undefeated or something. I'm really, really happy with how he played. Let's go into the Super Bowl, baby. It's 9 to 10 in the Super Bowl. I'm going to take over for a pretty crucial fourth down here. I want to do one drive with this offense and defense. And then let my team take over from there. They've already taken over so well. This is my first snap, and they're up by one. Justin Field sack. Maybe I shouldn't have taken over. I came in and sold, but that's all right. Let's see if I can make up for it on defense. Oh, that was from the 27. First play for the commanders is Joe Burrow stepping up and almost just sent him to the hospital. Second and fourth, they're using the clock here. Understandably, what do they want here? Throws to the boundary. Third and one. Third and one, we're going to go for the Blitz here. Can't let McCaffrey get this. Oh, it's a slip screen. Slip screen bottled up by Jack Campbell. Fourth and five will call a timeout. And offense will have a little bit of time to go score. I think Washington now has four field goals. The commanders have four field goals in the Super Bowl in the first half. That's Brett Maher on the field goal. Taking over here on offense again. Got to be a little bit better than last time. Just coach wants a post-wheel shallow route. I'm going to go Olave. He's going to grab it third and three. Clock is not on our side. I'm listening to whatever coach says here. Can I find him again? Olave back to back. We'll use our final timeout 24 seconds. Kind of got to get out of bounds. Maybe I'll have enough time to spike it. We're going to go play action here. Nobody should be biting on that play action. I can go right over the top to Olave. Can we get the spike off? Get up there. Six seconds on the clock, 52-yard field goal. Let's take it with Tucker McCann. Tucker McCann. Biggest kick of his life. Did I shake it? No. Absolutely drills it. Bailey's happy on the hold. All right, boys, that's all the input I can have. It's time to let our team determine this game. 13 to 12. Now 20 to 12. Now 20 to 18. 21 to 20. And the commanders have the ball in the red zone. Oh, no. No, Cleveland. We didn't come this far in the first ever year to lose it, right? It's going to be a handoff, McCaffer. He's got a whole lot of room. Daxton Hill in there with Jack Campbell. Second and five. We're burning our timeouts. We got to keep him out the end zone. If we want a shot, we got to keep him out the end zone. Get home, Hutch. Checkdown's good. Great throw. First and goal. We're out of timeouts. We got the two-minute warning on our side. But if they get in the end zone, we're in so much trouble. Check's down. Incomplete pass. That's huge. Second and goal. This has got to be handoff. You got to come down, brisker. Yes, Jack Campbell's there to fill it. Great work, Jack Campbell. Third and goal. Commanders come back up to the line. This looks like a pass. Let's get this pass incomplete. Stop that clock. Come on, boys. Come on, boys. Joe Burrow. Hutch down, commanders. What a clutch play. Did they kick the p- Under review? Oh, my God. Are they saying maybe he's out of bounds? Oh, we challenged it. Okay, totally steps out of bounds there, but he clearly does have possession of the football. Rilling on the field was upheld. I respect that we challenged it, though. I've never actually seen that in a sim before. They do take the PAT. So we have, we have a minute 14 to score and get a two-point conversion. Oh, my goodness. We turned the ball over already. Wow. I was trying to sim up to see what happened, but we literally turned the ball over on that opening drive. Honestly, dude, the fact that this lineup made it to the Super Bowl is so crazy. I never won it in my first year. I still have it now. But dude, I'm so happy with how that team played. And for making the Super Bowl, we got some crazy good dev trade upgrades. Jack Campbell, Daxton Hill, Aiden Hutchinson all got a dev trade upgrade. We lose the Super Bowl to the commanders, but this rebuild is certainly not over. All right. Next up is the NFL draft. I think I want to draft a tackle. Here's why.  He's doing all right. The only reason I say that is because there is a really good Michigan State tackle. So the top five, look at the top five here. Notre Dame, Texas, Clemson, Boise State, TCU. I literally can't draft any of these guys. In this whole first round, there's barely anybody I could draft. I could draft the Michigan State quarterback, the Iowa left tackle, the Michigan wide receiver, the Iowa outside linebacker, the Penn State right tackle. Ooh, George Williams, Illinois corner. He could be a good option too. Oh my God, that Bengals draft pick that we got for Hutchinson, that's round one pick five. Dude, here's the thing. I could take Will Peterson, but look at Will Peterson. Okay. He does look like a really, really good right tackle. Great solid strength. You know, really good stats, but there's another tackle. There's another two tackles who look pretty good. Mike Ash looks similarly good left tackle. There's a Penn State right tackle at 23. Who looks amazing? I think I'm going to trade this pick down. I'm going to give it to somebody who's going to give me a haul for it. There's even a Hugh McEwen out of Ohio State who looks pretty good. He's dropped a little bit, but I'm going to trade this away. This is too high of a pick. Probably going to trade down to like 25 ish. Just get more capital here. Commanders will give me two first round picks a second to fourth. San Fran will give me a first to six and a seventh and then this year's first. I'm taking that right there. Trade down to 24 draft the tackle there and I get another first rounder for next year.  That's crazy. All right. We're skipping up to our next pick. Will Peterson just went, if Will Peterson was like a superstar tackle, then yeah, that was a whiff, but I think we did this right. Actually, you know who I'm taking instead? I'm going to take George Williams. A tackle, C-man coverage. Okay, whatever, but look at his physicals. I think he's definitely hidden dev. Maybe superstar. Great jumping, great speed, great strength, elite acceleration. His only bad thing is changing direction. He's a 510 zone corner out of Illinois. I'm driving to George Williams right here. Hidden dev 94. Oh my God. This guy's a monster. Hidden dev 94 speed 95 Excel. The trade down was definitely the right call. And we also have the Bengals second round pick. So I have round two pick five here. If I can get a tackle right now, please tell me one of those tackles is still available. The Iowa tackles gone. Damn. There's the Michigan State quarterback, but I got fields. I don't really need him. So Ohio State strong safety. I can't take that. There's a Wisconsin free safety. I can't take that. Wisconsin left end. Alton Horn is a 64311 run stopper end. Dude, low key. I can move this dude to deep tackle. He's got great strength.  A play wreck, a tackle. I almost want to trade this pick down too.  I'm actually going to take this shot here. I'm going to take a shot here on this Ohio State left end. Was he a left end?  Oh, he's Wisconsin. He's Wisconsin, not Ohio State. Either way, he's big 10. I'm going to draft Alton Horn. Oh, he is hidden down. This is not normal draft classes, by the way. This is not strong draft class at any position. So that's crazy. He's more of a detackle though. He's a 71 speed, 89 strength, 311 pound left end. I'm just going to move him to detackle. I'm going to trade away my end of round two pick. Just for anything, maybe some trade bait for next year. A second and a fourth round or next year. Yeah, I'll take that. Thank you, Minnesota. And now we'll send him to the end of the draft. I got two big picks. Draft recap, boys. Let's see how we did.  Traded down and got him. 94 speed, 95 Excel. Amazing pickup. Alton Horn out of Wisconsin to 72 overall. Really slow. He's hidden dev. I'm moving him right now to detackle. Let's see, he might even be a higher overall at detackle. And I'll probably start him over Maurice Hearst from Michigan. That way he can get some reps. He's a 74 overall at detackle. I could just tell that this guy was at detackle. CPU made some picks. They got a 94 speed halfback, but he's got a Clemson, can't use him. TCU can't use him. Ole Miss. We could use Roman Marsh out of Wisconsin. We can't use the Wake Forest guard. Did not get a tackle though. I wanted to get a tackle and I didn't. Taking a look at the entire. Wow.  The highest overall in the class was 77. So we got one of the highest overall players in the class. Roby, Zach, Tyson, George Williams. So that was a really good pick.  By the way, this is why I usually use strong draft classes because I just think this is so lame. But it is a lot more balanced. This is how it should be, whatever. I'm sticking to normal for this whole rebuild. So my new slot corner is no longer going to be Dax than Hill. I'm going to move George Williams out of Illinois right there. And my corners are going to be Kirby Joseph, Dax than Hill. Cam Mitchell had a really good season. I want to keep him in. I'm going to move Dax than Hill out of my corner rotation. And Dax than Hill is basically going to be a sub linebacker on this team. I'm glad I have Dax than Hill still. He'll be sub linebacker, which we are going to need for sure. And then Jack Campbell has the backup sub linebacker. Okay, the only other adjustment we got to make is D-tackle. Right now it's Maurice Hurst, who is six years in the league. Alton Horn is a rookie. He's only four overall lower. So that's definitely a big pickup right there. We're chilling, boys. We are chilling. Hopefully, Justin Fields can bring out a much better season here now that he's a higher overall. All right, boys, season two. Let's see what we're made of. Doing a little bit better than last season with a more difficult schedule. Four and two at mid-season. 89 defense, 86 offense. We beat the Bengals bad. Lost to the Texans. Lost to the Buccaneers. Beat the Patriots. Beat the Raiders. Beat the Steelers. Oh, the last game of the season's against the Commanders. Wow. All right. Actually, I kind of want to watch that game. Nah, I just hope we beat them. Looks like we should go to the playoffs again. Dude, maybe this team was just built to run deep playoff run. I don't know why or what about this team is really so good. Maybe it's the edge rushers. It might be double X factor ends. I think that's what's impacting this. We end the season with the exact same record of 11 and 6. But look at the Bengals. The Bengals made a serious comeback. They are also 11 and 6 in the AFC North. Maybe we'll see them in the playoffs. Look at Isaiah Pacheco. Man, I knew this was the right call. Look at how good he gets. Saquon Barkley would have been a waste man. He'd be a 99, but then that's the max. Isaiah Pacheco is a 94 overall. He's younger. He's so good, man. Kirby Joseph is going to get an upgrade here too. We'll give him a little zone upgrade. Kirby Joseph went from strong safety to corner. And he has been excelling. He's been doing an excellent job. Everybody is progressing nicely. Good morale on the squad. And defensively, George Williams. George Williams was drafted a superstar. That was such a good pick. It doesn't make sense. He was a top three player in the class. But the rookie out of Illinois is a superstar corner. Yeah, Elton Horn is a star. He's now a 79 overall. Hearst is a 79 overall. Great work for everyone. And just like that, Justin Fields leads. I didn't make any changes to offense. And Justin Fields leads the league in passing yards all of a sudden. Huge improvement, dude. It was just those stats. His stats last year were bad and now they're good. Justin Fields leads the league 35 and 15. Probably not an MVP season, but a really good season. Saquon, who he traded to the Bengals almost went for 2,000. Yikes. Pacheco, 1,009.   Rondo Moore, 1,105. Sam Lampour in 9, 10, and 8. Good season. Honestly, Olave is the only guy who's like not doing anything. I use a pretty high pick on Olave. Maybe I should have gone defensive there instead. Jack Campbell leads the team again. George Williams is second. Two interceptions for George Williams. 14 and a half sacks, TJ Watt, 8 and a half, Aiden Hutchinson. That's almost defensive player of the year stats. That's crazy good.  I have literally removed Josh Pascal from like every single. I'm literally cutting him. How are you still getting? I'm releasing him. Josh Pascal's gone.  He's not in any position at all. Not even backups. This guy just really wants to hit the field. I respect it. Six interceptions out of Kirby Joseph.  He might have like led the league in interceptions. That's a lot of interceptions. Number one of the league's Byron Murphy. Two is Fred Warner. Three is Kirby Joseph. Awesome. The sack leader was Micah Parsons. Damn it. I wanted to get him. And it's Aaron Donald, Miles Garrett, Josh Allen, Montez Sweatt. Then it's TJ Watt. Great season though. Great season. Can we Cinderella this whole season again? Do we beat the Colts? Not this year. We lose to the Colts in the wild card. There's something we have to do, boys. We're going to get a Maryland Terrapin right now. Stefan Diggs went to Maryland. Probably the best Maryland player ever. I'm going to give up Olavi. Olavi is just, I have a ton of Ohio State guys. Number one in Olavi really just hasn't done much. I don't think there's any reason to keep going at Olavi. Let's just see how the trade looks straight up.  They're literally willing to do it almost already. He's 90 overall and he's young. I'm going to give a fourth rounder up in Olavi. Almost. Late second. Boom. Stefan Diggs. We got a Maryland Terrapin for Olavi in a second. Sorry, Olavi. Olavi wasn't doing much, man. I'm moving Diggs to wide receiver three, which is where Rondeo Moore was previously. And he was getting a lot of reps there. So now we got a super high overall vet wide receiver and then we still got Jaden Reed and Rondeo Moore. Jaden Reed now a superstar as well. So yeah, it's looking good. I wonder if we could get George Kittle for our two first rounders. George Kittle's old now, dude. You might actually be able to get George Kittle. We're basically selling out for the Super Bowl this season. A first rounder for George Kittle is not enough. Obviously. How about a first and a second, George Kittle? They can't consider the offer. It'll put us over the salary cap. What? I wouldn't put you over the salary cap. You have 45.9 mil. What? That doesn't make any sense. We don't need another trade. Our team is nasty. Let's draft, boys. Let's draft. The draft is too much fun not to do it. Hey, I said I wanted to tackle Gavin Mulligan out of Ohio State with elitic celigility and jumping, which are all useless for a tackle, but this guy looks nasty. I think he should be hidden dev. Hidden dev tackle. Exactly what this team needed. Gavin Mulligan. Nice work. He'll probably replace Taylor Lawan, who's 33 or 34 now. Got another pick here. Best player available is this Michigan right-hand, Taylor Thornton. Taylor Thornton is hidden dev. 86-6-0, 82-speed, 86-6 strength. He's a right end. So he does not have a place on this team right now, but down the line, I think it'd be nice to have him. It's going to be hard to pay Aiden Hutchinson and TJ Watt and the rest of the studs on this team. So there's a chance we'll need him. If not, he'll be good for a trade. This will be our last pick here. I'm going to take Ohio State center, Ben Vallejo. He's normal dev, 85 strength, 77 excel. I need a backup center. My centers are getting old too. Ted Karris is now 32, I think. And our next pick is not till the fourth round. I'll advance to the end of the draft. Let's see how we did. The draft wreak. Whoa. Yo. Both of my picks after Gavin Mulligan were better. Wow. My first pick was my worst pick of my first three, but that's honestly, Vallejo being a 74 is nasty and a 76 on Thornton. Granted, Mulligan is hidden dev and Vallejo is not hidden dev, but this is really, really good.  Understandably, this guy's out of Purdue, so we could use him and that's it. Wow. Another really nice draft. Two back-to-back good drafts. I'm happy about that. Best player in the class. This time was a 79 overall out of USC. Ohio State right end, Florida State right tackle. So we're still up there. We still had a good draft. So Taylor Lawan did retire. So the timing on Gavin Mulligan was really good. My left guard, I don't even remember who my left guard was, but he also retired. So Ben Vallejo, the timing was amazing. He's a 76 at left guard. Ted Karris is still playing out of Illinois. My right guard is still Will Fryes out of Penn State and right tackle, Nicholas Petite Freer out of Ohio State. So offensive line was saved by that draft class right there. And I'm also going to move digs to my slot wide receiver. I want the best guy getting the ball the most. I think this could be our Super Bowl season. Our team is nasty good and still getting better. Let's see what we can do here, boys. Let's head to midseason. Six and one. This is our absolute best record at midseason. AFC North is struggling. I think this might be our year. A three-year Super Bowl is fast. Dude, it does not matter how we start a season. We have gone 11 and six in three straight years. That's actually crazy. That's got to be harder to do than anything else really. 11 and six three times in a row. Here's a playoff bracket. We're taking on Tennessee.  That's crazy. Washington's the one seed. Washington is an absolute powerhouse though. It's weird not seeing Kansas City or Dallas though. And Justin Fields is all over the place. He is now sixth in the league in passing yards, but his touchdown to interception ratio is getting better and better. And that's what we want out of him. Pacheco 12-75 and 15 touchdowns. His best season by far. Receiving La Porta's the leader. Diggs is second. Morris third. What is going on? This is so weird. La Porta just went off, I guess. Campbell continues to be a powerhouse in the middle. 7 CFLs in interception. 20. What? 25 sacks out of TJ Watten. 13 out of Hutchinson. 5 out of Elton Horn. 2 out of Jack Campbell. Oh my God. When we get three sacks a game every single game, I've never seen that. 2 interceptions. Daxton Hill, 1 Jack Campbell. Dude, I'm befuddled. I am flabbergasted. How did that happen? He had to have won defensive player of the year. MVP is Joe Burrow. Justin Fields got sixth. Not bad. AFC offensive player of the year is IU. Pacheco comes in second. Not bad. Defensive player of the year is TJ Watten. It had to be. Hutchinson was third with 13 sacks. TJ Watten gets first. Great work. No offensive rookie of the year. Taylor Thornton came in seventh defensive rookie of the year. We got Bestie Lyne. Hell yeah. That's awesome. TJ Watten, defense player of the year. Great work. Dude, if we make it all the way, I pray we see the commanders. But we got to get through the wild card first. Ooh, close game. Very close game. Win against the Titans, 31 to 28. Now we take on the 11 and 6 Steelers. This is a rivalry matchup. What do the Steelers got? I want to see their lineup. Steelers have AJ Brown, Penae Sewell, Nick Chubb, 399s. Then Stingley, Cisco, Tyron Smith. Oh right. They have Anthony Richardson. We got TJ Watten, Diggs and Hutchinson. So 399s of our own. Then Pacheco 98, Winfield, La Porta, Justin Fields, Jack Campbell. Can we make it past the Steelers? If we do, I want to check in on the AEFC Champion. Dude, look at how close these wins have been. Three points. We beat the Titans by one point. We beat the Steelers by.  Dude, it might be a rematch against the commanders. We'll have to see. But right now we're taking on the Raiders. We're the five seed. Raiders are the six seed. This has been a weird playoffs. They're 10 and seven. They've got Jair Alexander. What else is this Raiders team have? They got 99 Jair 99 Jacobs, 98 Metcalf, 96 Tunsel. Who is their quarterback? Aaron Rodgers. 20 years in the league.  Let's play ball. We're 91 overall. We got lots of X-Factors. This is a different team than last time. All right, boys. Opening drive. Play a little defense here. Oh, I expected a run. Aaron Rodgers feeds it into Josh Jacobs. Nice tackle. Boye Mafe. Going on Jack Campbell here. This may be a left side run. Oh, it's a little RPO. What? What? What just happened? All right. First in 10. Got to make up for it. Rodgers goes down. Boye Mafe. Maybe the Blitz was the move. Let's try that again. Coming in with Jack Campbell. Oh, no. Maybe it wasn't. Oh, no. Albert O is going to take this one all the way. Got a little greedy on those Blitzes. Vegas gets seven. All right, boys. Hey, a big run from Pacheco. Is he going to go up? No, he can't. Got flagged down, but the opening drive is 30 yards Pacheco. Going to go play action here. See if we can't find something deep. Is that there? It is. Morris got it. Rhonda Elmore Perdue. Nice catch. Well, it's going to be a three-play touchdown. Let's look for Sammy Laporta in the back of that end zone. One more play action. He's not there, but Jaden Reed is. Second and three. Keep up the tempo. Let's go with a zone toss to Isaiah Pacheco. See if we can hold those blocks on the edge. Looking good so far. Pacheco, use that speed. Use that speed. Pacheco to the one. Two rushes, 39 yards. The AMC chip. It's getting scrappy. Punch this in, Pacheco. He's got Darius McFadden on that D-line. Go right over top. Isaiah Pacheco. Too easy. Dogs are in the end zone, and I got to let my team do the rest. Seven to seven. Browns? Oh, get nothing there. But a field goal there. Field goal for Las Vegas. It's 10 to 10. It's 13 to 10. It's 13 to 13. 20 to 13. 20 to 20. Here we go. This could be the final drive of the game. 20 to 20 in the AMC championship. All right. Justin Fields in the backfield. That's not Isaiah Pacheco because there's... Or no, it is. It is Pacheco. He just doesn't have Superstar. Hand up Pacheco. 15 rushes, 98 yards and a touchdown. All we need is field goal range. Let's see if we hand it off again. I feel like I would. Drops back. He's not handing it off. Fields looks caught. Sam Laporta. And he keeps running. Gets an additional four yards there. That's almost field goal range, but not quite. Let's see how they manage this clock. Las Vegas still has all three timeouts. Not a handoff to Pacheco, but a really tough catch. Jaden Reed came down with a clutch one right there. 50 seconds on the clock. We're in range. Could win off the field goal here. Here's a handoff. Pacheco does not read his blocks well. Second and 10. Timeout Cleveland. Why? You're in field goal range. Why are you calling timeout? Let the clock tick. We might be running jet sweep. It's a fake jet sweep. Hand off Pacheco. And he marches for six.  Another timeout Cleveland. What am I missing? Why are we calling timeouts? You guys are in range to win this game. A nice pull block. Pacheco down to the seven. Now Vegas is calling timeouts. I can't believe Isaiah Pacheco just put this game away. Don't run it in though, right? Just keep chewing that clock. Chew their timeouts and end this game with a field goal. There's a timeout Cleveland for some reason. I really don't get why we're calling timeouts when we're in range. We are doing Las Vegas a service here. Pacheco after four yards is stuffed. It's third in goal. 20 rushes, 134 yards in a touchdown. With no time left, Las Vegas isn't even going to use their timeouts. Three, two, one. Drill the field goal. Presumably a game winner, but there is a second left on this clock. I've seen it before. Really hope I don't see it now. No squib, no high kick. Just a standard kickoff down the middle. Zero seconds left. Thank you. Let's go Cleveland. Jack Harbaugh getting lit on the sidelines because the Raiders go down in the AFC Championship and we find ourselves in the Super Bowl once again. Fields 15 for 25 in a touchdown. Okay game. Pacheco carried. Isaiah Pacheco carried that game. Defensively a sack out of Moffay, a sack out of Watt, a sack out of Elton Horn and one interception Micah McFadden. Honestly, with all those sacks, the interception, you'd think we have won by a little more, but a very close game. Now it's time for the Super Bowl. Are we going to take on the Commanders again? I hope so, dude. I hope it's not Tampa Bay. No, it's Tampa Bay. The 11 and six Browns take on the 11 and six Buccaneers. Honestly, was hoping to get my rematch with the Commanders, but they lost 33 to 30. It's been a very close playoff for everybody, dude. Close games here. Taking on the 11 and six Buccaneers. Got some big upgrades. TJ Watt is going to a official 99 overall. Going to give him the speed rusher upgrade. He's going to get finesse, play rec, power moves, strength and tackle.  Elton Horn, the right end converted to a D-tackle is going to go up to an 85 overall, or 84 overall prior to Super Bowl and get a speed upgrade. And it is Super Bowl week. So, hey, I was going to say, let's see Dev trade upgrades. My backfield got their superstar upgrades. That's Justin Fields and Pacheco. So happy that these guys have abilities. Pacheco, I definitely want you to have tank. Such a good ability. Let's give you jukebox and just give you arm bar. Justin Fields finally gets Superstar of his own. Tight out is good for Laporta.  No look, dead eyes, a very nice one. And we'll give him gutsy scrambler. Why not? Look at how good Isaiah Pacheco's gotten too. Unbelievable. Defensively, it looks like Kirby Joseph did get a Dev trade upgrade. He goes up to a Superstar. Good for him. Antoine Winfield is a high overall. Tim Abrisker, but no Dev traits. Jack Campbell, a 92. This really could be the Super lineup. We have double 99 edge rushers. Hutchinson, TJ Y. And Micah McFadden is a star as well. Buccaneers. Oh, that explains it. They have 99 Mahomes, 99 Derwin, 99 Jameer Gibbs. Jerry Judy, Jalen Johnson, Derek Brown, Justin Simmons, Paris Johnson, Bradley Chubb. They got a humicune. I almost drafted him. Turns out he was a Superstar. Damn, nice pickup. Curtis Samuel, Nolan Smith. It's a good team, certainly. All right, boys, for all the Marbles, 91 versus 90. First in 10, I'll start on offense. Ron Nealmore, Jane Reed, Sam LaPorta. How about a little post-corner out of Sammy Boy? How do we feel about that? Maybe not. That pocket collapsed. LaPorta was not open. It's 3rd and 17. This is a bad starting drive. Justin Fields is going through it right now. Gonna try Dagger. See who's home. Sam LaPorta's home. He's wide open. First in 10. Let's make sure we use everybody here. I want everybody to get a touch. What about Diggs? What about our Maryland Terrapin? Can't forget, great catch, lots of room, big juke. I love that we picked him up. All right, let's switch it up. Let's get the halfback back here with me. Let's hand this off to Pacheco. Solid blocks, get to the edge. Use that speed. Nice work. Second and two. Let's take a shot. I think this is a tougher two. So maybe Jaden Reed down the middle. Maybe not. Ooh, sketchy pass, man. Pacheco to the edge. Wow. Look at the blocking here. Oh, wait for my block. He's not in. Oh, dude, that was textbook running, but he's not in. Hey, we still got Justin Fields, right? We still got Justin Fields. We're running pistol speed option. Let's see if this works, boys. Risky.  Pacheco, stiff arm. He got nasty. Speed option between Ohio State and Rutgers. I love that. And we're going to fake PAT rollout pass to my Ohio State rookie tackle. Gavin, no. Oh my God, that was so free. And the kicker whiffs it. You're lying. That might have been the punter. I don't know who that was, but they whiffed it. That's a big mistake. First and 10, it's now 6-0 in the Super Bowl. I would have preferred a little different score here, but Kirby Joseph steps up, tries to lay the boom, but Jameer is a 99. Shedded that thing. Let's send a little blitz up the middle here. See if Patty Mahomes can keep up. Ooh, it's an RPO. Go around it. Big hit, Jacquan Brisker. I'm going to go mid-blitz here. I really want to apply some pressure to the quarterback. Okay, Jameer Gibbs. Second and five. They are widening out. Mahomes throws over the middle. Oh my God, they are breaking everything. KJ Osborne, Buccaneers are here to play. Could definitely be a run here on first and 10. No, it is a pass. It's got this sit down. He throws a bad ball. George Williams intercepts Mahomes. What is Mahomes doing? Oh my God, I can't believe that just happened. I want to run one more speed option and then I'm giving it over to Sim. First and 10.  I'm going to keep this with fields right now. Pitch it off. Pitch that goal. Speed option OP. With that backfield it is. All right, let's jump to the end of the game, boys. 6-0 lead. Brown's getting nothing. Tampa Bay scores. Brown scored a touchdown 13-7, 16-7, 24-7. Tampa Bay's back on the board. Saw. Oh my God, Tampa Bay could score first and goal. They have no timeouts. Wait just a minute. Got to keep the ball inbounds. Let them throw short. Let them throw inbounds or sack him. Or sack him. Hutchinson. What? Get home. That burned 30 seconds off the clock. That's so big. Just the amount of clock it's using is so big. Get home. Again. Mahomes is fast.  Grows it out of bounds. Nice play. Third and goal. Let's just put it away defense. Everything about this big 10 rebuild has been about defense honestly. We have 25 sacks out of TJ Watt this season. Brown's trying to track him down. He can't. Mahomes throws it away again. Fourth and goal. We are bagging the receivers downfield. They're going to take the field goal and onside kick instantly. Okay. I respect that because there's no way you convert this. This is actually the high IQ play. I'm surprised that Maddinson knows to do that. So they know they need the onside kick either way and you're not going to convert from 22 yards out on fourth and goal. So you might as well take your field goal and then onside kick it. Brown's hands team. The Super Bowl lies in your hands. Grabbed things the Maryland Terrapin. I knew that was a good trade. Victory formation for Cleveland. And in year three Jack Harbaugh has been to two Super Bowls and comes away with one ring. Let's go. Let's go boys. The Cleveland Browns win the Super Bowl 24 to 17. Justin Fields 19 for 30 and two touchdowns. Isaiah Pacheco 10 for 66 in a touchdown. Diggs had a really good game through the air. Soded Laporta. Jaden Reed really didn't do much. But hey, it's a team game boys. Half a sack out of Hutchinson. Half a sack out of TJ Watt. An interception Kirby Joseph. Oh, I thought it was George Williams who had that interception. Oh wait, they both did. Maholmster two interceptions in the Super Bowl. That's how you lose right there. They both had one. Three TFLs out of Hutch. Amazing game. Super Bowl MVP is Justin Fields. Browns get their first ever Super Bowl. TJ Watt wins defensive player of the year. That was an awesome season for us in 2025. And just so you guys can take a look at your Super Bowl winning roster. Justin Fields, Isaiah Pacheco, Jaden Reed. Diggs, Rhonda Elmore, Sam Laporta and a very solid offensive line. Defensively Aiden Hutchinson, TJ Watt, Elton Horn and Tyler Thornton, Jack Campbell, Micah McFadden, Bollier Moffay, Brisker, Winfield, Kirby Joseph, George Williams, Cameron Mitchell. Hell yeah. All right boys, I hope you guys enjoyed. It was an absolute blast. I can't wait to see you guys in the next review. Peace.


So it's friendship, it's network, but now that I have all these women, I feel like I have family everywhere in the Pacific and it's not a thought to myself. If ever they offer me opportunity to go to Papua New Guinea, I will go straight away because I have someone there and I know I can be a leader one day, like a very high-position leader, maybe the Minister of Health one day.
