I thought it'd be slow I thought I would need some things to talk about but man I'm with man coming on and then in July Everything is actually popping. Everything is actually moving right now Man has more buzz now than it probably didn't in the last three months. Honestly, man. Shout out to my man t-gurl T-glay with the sub man two months.

Honestly. I really do like I And it's kind of insensitive, but I think everybody's just a little bit pussy when it comes to the injuries and not maybe I'm wrong Maybe it's the Philadelphia in me, but we'll talk about that later Also, I want to break down one of the biggest games you've got there as asked about on the YouTube on the comment section The one of the best games ever. I'm gonna break down skimbo verse problem man 17 championship We'll go over that when I'm done this pack about a ton of pockets done We will give we'll give away at least two codes man specifically Xbox I have some Xbox codes some PlayStation codes by the end of this I'm definitely gonna talk about the injury thing and how I feel about it But we'll get to that first I want to talk about gameplay I have a couple announcements though if you guys follow me on Twitter, you know And I talked about this lately Now probably two episodes ago and that's the fracture me give away that I'm doing by next week Man, I got these in the chat for you guys. Yeah, I'm saying you guys can check out this post on Twitter I believe that's the one boom Now I'm giving away a hundred and thirty five hour gift card a hundred hour gift card and a 50 hour gift card Also a couple codes for the beta again Next week if you guys want to check it out, but this is a great way to get your pictures on glass You know pictures that we have on Instagram and Facebook or whatever in actual physical form So we'll have them forever. This is me at the tailgate of the Eagles nsc championship game last year so um That's pretty much what I did with that right there mixed it in with a little giveaway with the pictures I'm saying so you can get that so I'm definitely hype about that giveaway and working with the fracture me people in the future Definitely think that's gonna be a good partnership for myself the podcast needed gaming everything because like I said I ordered one of those pictures. I saw one of the ads on Instagram ordered it up Bang it came in probably a week and I loved it. I love the results really but um Also this weekend.  I see my man squid in the chat We will be bring it talking about this because this is big news You know and I don't know how involved on being with this, but this is actually news And Zann posted, you know Zann the mudhead playbook, you know, Zann who does all that you guys know Zann posted this Update on what they're doing with Friday night football, which is actually going to become kind of like a point system situation between four Next week 1920 21 22 23 so five different Friday night footballs the top six will get to go to the Exclusive one for 10 K. So that's pretty awesome And the reason I'm bringing this up That Friday night number 19 will be the first one to go in this five time the reason And gradually split from one of last week, but the reason I bring this up is because It's going to be special this week. You know why it's going to be special this week Because your boy will be there commentating and Not only will I be there commentating I Will be there commentating with books. I'm saying so me and bugs will be commentating and it's going to be entertaining because I'll tell you guys. I'm really contemplating Do I just kill books the entire broadcast is that I'm I just want to just kill them the whole time Am I just gonna drag them under brush under the bus the entire time or am I gonna take it easy and be professional? That's pretty much what I'm going through And pretty much what I've been thinking about since I've realized this like what like how am I going to go about? That really you know because I because you guys know I pretty much killed bugs now and stop But a Friday is a Zanzin chat now Zanzin tell me how a Friday night football stream That Zanzin that's probably longer than the weekend playoffs, right? It's probably a good four or five hours You know, it's definitely tough and I start and Honestly, I really start thinking That I'd be killing bugs too much. I'd be feeling bad a little bit, you know Yeah, about four hours. That's a lot of killing them saying So that's definitely gonna be it's gonna get bad if I kill bugs the entire time, you know a healthy balance Kevin I might try to balance it.   I'll be broadcasting I will definitely try if they're gonna give away $10,000 I mean, I might as well try, you know, because I honestly think I don't think too many of these kids are good It's pretty much cleft and then everybody else really I will eat a salad all week as long as I kill bugs You know saying that that's what it's about. But anyway, so that's Friday. I'm really excited about that I didn't know I was working with bugs, you know, I didn't know who it would be whether Zanzin I've seen Zanzin there guru. I really didn't care because I just figured whoever was there I'd be fine with I didn't know but then they said it was bugs.  So I'm excited about that. So Friday, you guys already know where to tune in. It's like this is 19 So it's been going on for a while. Wesley finally won one I feel like he's kind of been ever since Clef.  It's all about catching a vibe in the summer And then Wesley want to come home and he want to start bullying but he actually want to start beating people now It's pretty crazy, you know But honestly, like I said Friday night tuning is gonna be great. I'm assuming obviously Joe Rice gonna be in it It looked like K-Max Chacoby D-Croft, J-Wall, Clef people like that definitely gonna be competing. It's gonna be a great time Hopefully can call some good games and I'm excited about that Another announcement I want to make Sunday saying to go along with Mudhead Friday night football What they want to do is make squads a bigger deal. Now, I don't know if you guys play squads I'm not the biggest squad person. It is fun But I haven't really got into it honestly because there haven't been that many tournaments for it There's really no reason to play it and Mudhead wants to make it a bigger deal Now because the squads tournaments are only like every fourth or every fifth Friday night It's hard to find out the 32 people to invite the 32 teams to invite So what they want to do is throw a little smaller tournaments kind of like MCS system So where if you do well in these smaller tournaments on the weekend or Whenever they may be now. Okay. Now here comes your strength and here comes your reason to get into the big thousand dollar tournament. So Sunday, I will be doing a squads tournament. Let me find that tweet to put that in the chat Because I think it's gonna be good and I said country girl reached out to me and said, you know We want to make sure the squads community gets heard. We want to you know, get them a little spotlight And that's fine. I like calling men now. I can call some squads, you know But this being said, I Think we only have you know Like I said, I said we probably only have as I look at this tweet I think we only have about five teams signed up You know, this is your chance to guarantee your spot into the Mudhead tournament If you win if you win you're probably gonna get something around 200 points. So that's definitely awesome Yeah, so you see that right there. It's definitely awesome to be able to compete in squads You guys play apparently there's a huge squads, you know community and we kind of want to like, you know brace those two things, you know That's pretty much what we want to do, you know Rags would be cool. I Think Rags would be really cool. I think um, yeah, you can't think pick the same thing Wesley says red a Rags Friday night football would be good. You can't pick the same team twice Honestly, I think that would be cool Like if you you if you use the chiefs in the first round, you can't pick them again So if you're gonna win, you're gonna have to win if is a 32 I think you have to win five games chiefs Falcons Patriots and it run out of teams, but definitely a Satter cap Mudhead they kind of go together, you know, that's pretty much where it is. Um But also as far as Rags and this is it the people if you if you guys are still complaining about mirror match You can't it's time that it's time to build that bridge and get over that, you know, but Anyway, that is the squads tournament Sunday Friday night Friday night football Jokes about books all night. So if you want to watch the best man players in the world And you want to watch me kill books the entire night about being healthy and sucking it mad and tune in Also that Sunday two days later squads tournament will be hosted on this channel I'll be chilling here watching some squads professionals last announcement man. I it's not really an announcement We got the new physical shirts. We got some new shirts loaded. I put all the we are mad shirts Let me show you guys this as well We I put all the we are mad shirts down to the at least amount of money I can charge possible without me losing money since there is no more go find me now There's nothing anything going on like that. Um There I did put these down to as cheap as possible What you need to do is go to the website here. It is right here go to catalog go down here It's easy. We are mad and say right there boom This is all the we are mad shirts 13 dollars 13 dollars a hoodie is $20 $13 so on and so forth that you know, these are super cheap right now So get yourself a t-shirt for the summer. They're not all black.  So I like the gray in the summer But they are as cheap as possible, you know, I'm not making any money off these So 13 dollars as cheap as possible I can put it so I don't make any money for so those are definitely on The other thing I wanted to talk about honestly So check that out really Let's see Okay, so those are all my announcements. Let's get into this gameplay. Did you guys watch the gameplay? Did you guys watch? Um the stream from Saturday Oh, we're already messed up a little bit Did anybody in the chat actually watch this because I'm gonna be real I watched this twice. Okay, and um Wasn't much gameplay I don't know if there's something else you guys watched as far as the stream is concerned You know, I saw juju. I saw Alvin Camargo crazy Pretty much about these X factors. Like I said, and they said it in the chat. It's pretty much like 2k. That's what I it feels like um So let's see. This is really wasn't a big the main thing I guess I saw Was when we went with a little bit of Patrick Mahomes. Oh What also looks super cool. Let me go back to what is this here? Oh To read options and stuff. Oh, but bazooka All right, four passes of 30 yards or more Let's be real with the first thing I gotta say about that. That's that's that's a lot, you know Four plat four passes of 30 yards is not the easiest thing in the world You know, if you're given up four passes of 30 yards, and I don't know if this is like consistent Like what you have to do to stop that streak would like is it one pass at 30 yards and if you get sacked It's over. You know what I mean? I think to me that that's pretty Ridiculous Me yeah, he got that ball out of there Well, and in all honesty, we know Casey Hayward is not the fastest You know, I don't I know Casey Hayward's not the fastest wide receiver But then also you guys have to realize They do this for effects. Look, there's a spy here. They could have said I believe these are contains I don't know what they got going on here And I will tell you if these are contains they look pretty beastly Now these are things I look at on the play, you know They definitely look so there's no pass rush They definitely look pretty good. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It looks like it's a lot and honestly Honestly chat, I don't think that's the big one to be the best You know, I mean the best takeover ability, you know, like you can go to ball 80 yards Okay, but how I mean it might come in the factor Yeah, I feel like that one's definitely gonna be a tough one to get Cleft the guy in the chat.  Oh Lord hold up now. This is now. This is the ability that they always have this is not activated This is just every time they drop back. They had this ability This was pretty wild Now ain't nobody doing that one that one was stupid, I'll be real that was pretty crazy Really, but at the same time if we had those contains that we had on the first play the drop-back play where they wanted to give Them time in the pocket this guy would be contained over here.   I mean the debt the run the girls on the runner pretty outrageous, honestly Look at that What is that there when James? What is this my guy? Who's 32? No, it's not there one, but that was terrible Now it's just a game or is this with you know what I mean, honestly You got to take all these highlights for a grand assault one somebody's not playing two. They're probably tuned. So it To was probably super tuned tuned so it's on rookie. It's on our kid Whatever it may be, but I swear to God if if someone attempts to throw this pass I don't care if he has dashing dead. I deep range deep dead dead I read a red bazooka red zone efficiency. This needs to be broken up There's no way that this read can be made. I Mean my man just stood there and let it happen. I mean, I don't know Yeah, so that's why I would take it a green assault just to show how it looks and everything That's pretty cool that's his signature. Look, that's exactly as I say animation. That's pretty cool really to me All right, let's talk about It's a chess match so just like in the NFL the way to shut down a high-power passing game is pass rush The defense is gonna have knockout conditions when these guys are in the zone You're gonna see here my home to this x-factor icon lit up. He's in the zone Von Miller's gonna sack him the objective what I noticed and Von Miller just dominated somebody's life. I hope that was a tight end. I really I really want to look back Hope that was a tight end.    So again It's it's it's authentic football conditions. It's a chess match. Yeah, and as far as the zone is just throwing 80 yards I mean, that's the least of my problems his objectives again to get back into the zone. All right Well, that's a little bit reassuring. I'm glad that I talked about the fear monger one This is wild to me a little bit He also has superstar abilities In the video there was like there's no way That this detackle is gonna cause me to I swear to God they just do the ball out of bounds I swear to God This was a throw away by Madden players to make it look better because there's no way out If this detackle is making my quarterback throw a flat pass out of bounds now. I don't it's not even open I don't think but if this can be tackled making that's pretty wild Superstar abilities There was the pressure penalty applied to the quarterback In addition to that he has pass rush elite That's a superstar ability that gives him quicker faster pass rush shed moves as a pass rusher And then under pressure makes those penalties He's applying to the throw power and throw accuracy the quarterback more punitive So he's a quite a disruptive pass rusher because that's one of the things too. It's not necessarily Especially with somebody who's playing defensive tackle.  You got to know who you're playing against You got to know who you're playing with like I said, it's a chess match out there Passing abilities, you said my home seemed really powerful putting pressure on the court You scramble mechanic. All right. This looks tough. I'm gonna be honest. This looks really awesome I'm excited about this.  God. I think this is dope To pull down the passing icons with a button press become a ball carrier Full access to all the spin moves juke's ball carrier moves and then you can bring definitely super excited about this Definitely ready to play That kind of I don't want to say it looks cheesy But it's something that should be in the game like there's no way I shouldn't be able to and that's actually the Playmaker is pretty tough.  Oh, that's amazing This keeps getting better. I think it The one thing that's crazy is like the pump fake. Okay, you got to tap the button twice Okay, so how do you lot is the lob? I really? Yeah, we'll see we'll see how it works out, but I will tell you man the pump face should be a man I'm not not said it probably months last week or when I did the X factor was pretty much um Pump fake is pretty like dude even when you play pick up with like your family Thanksgiving the pump fake is dominant in life Like it yo, it's super dominant, you know, and I feel like it's not man at all And so that's cool. That's in man. We'll see how it works. That's it. I really don't know It's down really quick for our players. The first is an alert. That's a very basic I'm not like okay. This is I'll tell you this right now.   I can run read option in a slant the fissure What else can I do out of this? What else can I do out of this not in this formation not in this one? Read options not gonna be good in this formation Not at all. Maybe if like I said in this in the other one.  However, what's cool about it? It's in something Okay, now this could this could have possibility and then I said this man The run pass option is only gonna be as good as the past plays they put around it If they have shitty if they just had this pass play and four verticals and inside zone It's not gonna be that good. That's pretty much how I fit I feel how to run past stuff is always want to be good all in the past the man all the makeshift screens All the running plays pretty much everyone play at least has somewhat of a decent pass play to it Even wham like your wham is a bummy play But with good players man, it actually does have some decent pass plays in those clothes man Yeah, but mo mo you right? Yeah, maybe you could change who knows who knows if we're gonna be able to hot route What if we got you're right? What if we got hot route Watkins right here? We can put him on a corner route or him on a better post or you know what I mean, maybe But then you might not be able to have my homes. I just think they need to I just think they need to it needs to have good pass plays with it That's just how I've always felt and I just hope they put good pass plays, you know I'm just by hitting the receiver icon and throw it if he's open. So that's a really. Oh, he just killed man covers like that Whoa, hold up I felt like he was box then this has got open Just by hitting the receiver icon and throw it if he's open So that's a really cool way to be creative on offense And then there's two other types the peak more similar to a read option You're reading a single defender on defense looking at his anger I'd be pissed at my defense on this one because this is actually it's a triple option. That's all this is He took the running back and then he took the quarterback More similar to a read option.  He's running after the quarterback Because it's a triple option. This is your running back running back and quarterback really And really these two dickheads out here like what we're in cover for here. Come on boys Let's get some eyes or because I don't know I'm telling you I'm telling you I really don't think the rpo is going to be tough Read this is more like the traditional triple option play You're going to read two to three defenders after the snap.  You're running back. Keep it with your quarterback or throw it to the receiver We actually have over 200 rpo plays in our playbooks 220 220 plays and how many of those are going to be in formations with good passing plays That's the key to it, man. If you put it in and imagine if there's a run pass option Like a run or read option with a bubble screen and trips tight end now that okay now that would be annoying. That would be tough You know what I'm saying, but if it's in a formation without good running plays, it's going to be now this is going to suck Is in the game What if there's like dots in any feeling special right here? There it is right there We also have a lot of jet suite touch pass concepts You're seeing the chiefs and the rams teams like that using now I will tell you this might be tough with uh With shotgun tight because You know, there's going to be decent pass plays and shotgun tight. She's all amazing. Thank you so much, Glenn I cannot wait for this game. We've we've dropped a lot of awesome info here about madden 20 here at ea play I think that's it. I was going to say once again, I had him ranked if you want That's about it for the gameplay they showed. Was that really all the gameplay for the stream? Let me see like anybody play at all Well, I think compression does have glitchy runs. I feel like tight offset has the old one trap has inside zone has draw Yeah, but I think the compression if you added that with some good pass plays that stupid little flip Would be pretty tough. Honestly, we'll see Yeah, I don't think the single back will ever be good Listen, if you can't pass at a high level out of the formation, it will not be good Might be good to win some games It won't be evenly if that makes more sense if you cannot pass out of a formation ever That's how I feel if you can go into a game and pass out of your formation every single play It won't be elite You know the run has to almost be A bonus it can't be the main thing Like I can't think about now you at man You guys honestly a lot of you in the chat no more than me and have better minds than me Of a formation that was super successful That the main threat of it was the run now the biggest thing I can think about in the last four or five years is Wham But one it was never successful at any mcs level the furthest person to take wham anywhere An elite level is Kerry and honestly he probably passed out of dudes close better than he ran Now you guys can help me You know you guys can help me as far as as far as that's concerned Pitch and dive and tight slots very good also had good enough pass plays in it You know what I mean and and at the same time I will tell you when pitch and dive Got really good was when stevie jay was able to put like christian acoya in the super guards at it Butt fumble with the sub. I appreciate it But I will tell you in regs I remember playing stevie jay in group play in the man classic and it was bad Because It was just it was way easier to stop because you didn't have those super athletic guards or those super running backs, you know So I it's just tough You know, I just don't think the run can be the main threat of your offensive formation But if those little flip plays or those read option plays or uh rpo plays Come in a formation that have past plays that are effective They will be awesome. Honestly Butt fumble with the sub. I appreciate you. Um, the next thing I want to talk about is um Pretty much the injury thing was kevin dorant Kevin dorant got injured last night. I'm sure all you guys watch this. Um I'm sure you guys watch the finals. I think the finals are pretty much I I think the the run the finals are pretty much much It's probably right below the super bowl as far as sports in america It's much much watched for all of us really um and Obviously kd coming back. He was banged up kd is One of the best players in mba top three in anybody's list. He's top three player in the mba. That's not the argument We're having here He is and with kevin dorant the warriors. I feel and I think we can agree on are pretty unbeatable I think it's the best team that has ever been assembled with steve clay draymond iggy kd cousins all these guys healthy I think we and I don't know if we'd agree that they would win pretty easily You know But he did he is hurt. He did come back And um First I'm gonna talk about the decision to come back Okay, kd is a little bit banged up. He knows his achilles. I'm this is what I'm not a doctor. I'm not the biggest, you know Medical person in the world, but I think he kind of ruptured the achilles. Maybe like, you know took the tendon maybe You know tore it or tear it a little bit. I don't really know how the leg works I don't know how tendons work that well, but I'm assuming he injured it a little bit Got to a point was five weeks ago a month and a half or something um He could play he could walk around Should definitely always ask for codes in here but In his mind his team is about to get eliminated, you know and as much as we talk about kd's career his life God willing 70 80 years long, right? NBA career at max 20 years long I think for me as a competitive person never on that level because i'm not athletic as these guys But I think if he would have sat And watched his team lose and not tried to play That's something he probably would have thought about forever You know and you guys can comment uh as far as what you guys think uh If that's something you would think about what you would think about in that situation I just think that being a competitive person and I personally believe The majority of people in professional sports are competitive. That's why they've been so successful They're not lolly gagging. They're not they take it serious. That's why they've been able to push themselves to get to that limit and I think um He would sit at home and he would think about damn I should have tried to play Help my team win.  It's something I could not think about I couldn't think about not trying And part of and I hate to compare the madden but it comes down to like When I play skimbo and I had a fourth down I could have kicked the field going tied the game And the biggest thing that went through my mind is I can't walk out of here Without trying without trying to go for this without going for everything and with losing to a field goal You know, I didn't want to tie the game and come down and get a field goal I would have thought about that for the rest of my life, you know, I just went out with everything I had And it might not be the best comparison, but I always think about I don't want to Dwell negatively on what could have happened. I don't want to be on what coulda coulda coulda more, you know that's pretty much where I uh Where I think about being a competitor and I think he wanted to try and and more and a lot of props to them for Going out there and sometimes it's not about what he brought to the court Like obviously he was hobbled still look good. He's still the rank and still shoot But sometimes it's just about inspiring your teammates like when willis reed did it Uh, he could barely walk But it just motivates your teammates like if this guy is willing to risk his whole career If this guy's willing to risk all this pain and come out here and win What's our excuse for lollygag and what's our excuse for not giving all of our effort? That's pretty much what it added to the team more than just his greatness, honestly And they they were able to pull out that game and they got a game six at home on thursday They win that goes to game seven so Yeah, that's pretty much where it's at but uh As far as him getting hurt and the crowd cheering Shout the whack with the host man. I appreciate you If you're in new and extreme, this is the needed podcast We do this every tuesday talk about madden talk about gameplay talk about competitive side of madden. We like the competition but This is what I come to as far as cheering injuries now one part of the initial cheer is Especially in this situation is damn that we just got way easier for us to win the championship It's not necessary. I don't think it's not necessarily about Ha ha you got hurt type type of cheer I think it's a yes We won the championship because I feel like kd is so important and you see him go down I feel like it just makes it that much easier to just say yes. We won the championship initially You know what i'm saying the initially Initially, I think that's why that's why people cheer Do you know what I mean? I I think that's where it went from man And then I think when you realize damn, he's really hurt then it changes but that's why I say Things are different in football and basketball. I think football is a violent sport I will be all the way. I think we'll be all the way this I am happy as hell when the eagles just put somebody in the dirt That's the way we grew up from buddy ryan To jim johnson ray rhodes these guys listen. I love I love when my team just punishes somebody I'm not a Torterra acl I'm not that type of person because those I feel like those are way more Damaging i'm assuming is the word but I just like I three specific times in my life I'll tell you right now. I've been Beyond happy Brian Dawkins killed at algae crumpler algae crumpler rolled around on the ground like a baby And I'll tell you look I cheered my mind Brian Dawkins killed algae crumpler And I and and if you're if you don't cheer that You know what I mean like I don't understand and now obviously crumpler rolled around he came back in the game He was not dead. He did not break a leg. He did not tear anything.   I heard I I feel like it's different just because of the nature of football Football is a violent sport. It is a you know what I mean? It's a Man on man. Like I'm more of a man than you type of sport It's not it's not really about It's not really about I want him to get honestly. Yeah, like I'm being yes I want to see I want to see my players knock players out of the game I I just don't I think hitting hitting Brandon cooks and knocking him out of the game. Yes I mean am I wrong for cheering that I thought it was a huge play and I'm like as an eagle fan I'm kind of glad that Brandon cooks got knocked out of the game. God bless him. Hope he lives a long healthy life I don't want him to lose any career. But yes, I am happy. He got knocked out of the game Like, you know what I'm saying? Like it's not I'm not gonna like damn. I'm I'm good. I want to win the game So by Malcolm Jenkins knocking Brandon cooks out of the game. It made it easier for the the eagles You know, I mean I don't know I think in the moment People really don't in the moment You don't take the time to step back and see what type of impact that could have on the person A white type of impact it could have on that person's career and their family. You don't really see that right away You don't really that doesn't really go through your head right away. I'm assuming don't really like It's not about that. It's about the game. It's about the series. It's about the team really That's what I'm saying kid. I feel like I just said I feel like it's different I feel like it's completely different But I will also be honest About 10 years ago The Sixers played the Bulls Now the Derrick Rose was devastating completely different situation And I feel like and I feel like the injury The injury kind of matters Derrick Rose was a devastating injury for the NBA for sports for everything But I will tell you this right now in like game four or five I think it was game four when Joaquin Noah twisted his ankle.   I love that about players You know what I'm saying? That's pretty much And and and he trolled the it's like kind of like dream on It just it wasn't nothing it wasn't devastating. You know what I'm saying? It was just When it first happened man, I'll tell you I'll be the first one to be honest Because I was in the crowd is he used to back and say you want to Sixers were in the battle Noah had to get Noah had to get trolled I mean you write about that but that's what I'm saying at the time you don't think about that stuff at the time You're you're 10 beers in you're in there the whole day your passion is I want my team to win the game I'm saying it's not something where a day later.  I'm glad this person got injured Where at the time that's how it comes off. But the time is just an instant reaction for the most part Yeah, exactly I was too young for Michael Irvin um Michael Irvin was the biggest troll Most hateable player probably on the cowboys But anything and and I will also tell you guys this As far as Michael Irvin is concerned I don't think that's a cheer but like I said the Noah thing The Noah thing with the ankle Wasn't as big a deal to me as the Derek Rose or the KD or something like that because it wasn't I'm out for my life And Ride the rebel that's how I feel man. Yeah, I mean I I can tell you the initial thing. It's not about that player. It's not about I hope you stay hurt I hope you miss time in your career. Initially. It's about Yes, my team's path has just become easier. Whether it's NBA playoffs Or NFL playoffs or whatever it may be Um, sometimes you're cheering for your team's path getting easier rather than that person getting hurt now some things are definitely out of line Uh, and I I'm pretty sure I I'm gonna believe that most people have good hearts and they wouldn't do anything like that But I will definitely uh as far as anything anything that's like like I feel like a neck injury even a knee Achilles I feel like that's like life Like the rest of your life isn't gonna be that great Maybe not in 20 years, but the 30 years. Maybe you need hurts again or something like that and the neck Obviously, it can be super life-changing. So those are a little different And um and and as far as Michael Irvin that was probably 30 years ago now Like I would want to say in the 90s since without yeah, it's probably close to 30 years So the advancement just on just on You know the Awareness of the neck and the head and all that has been Greatly changed to the point where now if someone's laying down on instantly I think now when someone's laying down instantly on the ground like that I think it's more of a scaring thing for anybody And also you say that about KD's injury could be career altering. I think it will make him Maybe his career will fall off First of all Durant has already had foot problems. He's already missed a lot of time in his career People kind of forget how long Durant's actually been in the NBA And uh, he has missed seasons So his you know, his feet his ankle a lot of stuff has already been kind of banged up. I think um The Achilles will definitely shorten his career I but I also believe somebody that tall and can shoot that well a la dirt navisky can play a really long time You know, it's never like even if the rant got half as slow as he is I think he can play a long time. Also, I feel like even if he misses next year He will get whatever max contract he can pretty much from any single team in the NBA That has the money to offer him a max contract. I still fully believe they would offer him a max contract Like I said earlier, he's one of the top three players and anybody's listed in the NBA and he's going to be that for Once he gets over this he's only be that for at least another five years.  So I don't think it's really going to affect him that much Yeah So that's I think I think his career is going to be fine and these guys now I also believe with you know with social media with the shoes all this different things. I think Uh, their ability to market their cells is going to be not only their career You know their career as far as in the NBA, it's not just going to be that they're going to have their lives to make money Their lives to be a brand Like when LeBron retires from the NBA five years 10 years, whatever it may be He's not just going to disappear, you know So there's going to be something LeBron everywhere and these guys are getting so much better at marketing their brand and Investing in other opportunities and building what they have made from the NBA that I think these type of players LeBron Kobe KD even even a Carmelo or somebody like that will be around as long as they want to be honestly Yeah, D-roll is definitely his injury was definitely probably the worst NBA honestly But enough of the NBA talk. This is a madden podcast. That is why they're here. I want to go over one of the best games, uh One of the best games of the What was it of the mat? We're still on matting 17 because one night kid they come in here and say Okay, Dan's what's up Like I said Kid they say and say let's say all on matting 17 and you know what I said, that's a great idea Man 17 best madden in the mcs error. So let's go ahead to this one right now This was problem versus skimbo Probably I mean one of the top three games in man 17 Definitely game. I definitely need to get some man 16 on the stream But we're going to stay with man 17 until I run out of games We got something special for you. This is skimbo versus problem man 17 playing the number one player This was in la This was in la I remember and problem problems still had obviously la is still On the list of madden communities as far as the country You know as far as that's concerned it is the list of You know best madden states in in the country I mean behind obviously philly is probably still number one Then you got the east coast some I mean, I don't know if you want to put the east coast in one group I don't know how philly somehow as one city goes against whole states and whole regions But philly is still the highest in you know what I mean in Madden Yes, now look And then you probably go Florida is either philly, I don't know if you want to group the east coast philly with the east coast Because east coast I think you not blocky Florida is definitely Florida's are strong too I think you got to go east coast and dmv. What if we put new york and philly together and then we put dmv in a separate Like split the east coast in the two because if it's just the east coast, I feel like it's kind of unbeatable but if you put New york and philly together then the entire dmv maryland uh baltimore Virginia all that together. I think that's pretty good, you know But like I said after that, I would probably go philly new york, then I probably go dmv probably still I might go to florida. Florida actually has a lot of talent no Bruh baltimore isn't baltimore has to be in there jet, but florida actually has a lot of man talent But kid that's how I don't understand like okay, is la one thing Are we just going cities because philadelphia is just a city philadelphia can't just go Against whole states. I don't feel like that's fair I mean, we kind of can in the argument You know what? I mean but to me Philadelphia can stand up to any state But is that really what I have to do the foot is it is it philadelphia then new york and new jersey Then the dmv like that's what I'm saying is like, how do we break it down? You know so far as I'm concerned, let's put it this way east coast number one. I'm putting florida two I'm putting cali at three Then probably the midwest like where moe ohio to chicago that type of vibe Texas is that cali is not number one That's what I'm saying. Okay. How can cali go just against philly? Like how is that like logically fair? This is an This is an entire another topic honestly, and I might have to have people on the podcast in different regions You know, that's what I'm saying. How does that work? So new york that's what I'm saying so blocky so Philly goes with new york and new jersey. That's what I'm I'm be cool with that And then you can put baltimore and baltimore to virginia put that in another group All right. Yeah, that's one. I'm definitely taking new york and philly over anybody And then I'm going florida then I might go cal then I might go dmv All right, anyway, so this is an la problem definitely has a good contingency out there all the old heads whether it's uh, what should we call it? 1 9 was there Uh problems boy sammy was probably there reality was there And these guys have been doing this a long time and and one thing about madness changed a lot because of these live events being a lot more Um Produced I want to say I mean there's not as much crowd to it man 17 was the last year We had a crowd where people could really cap and people could yell and scream and all this stuff and problems boys were definitely there So and my point is it's a home court advantage now and I will tell you before this game And kid who's in the chat can attest to they gave problem to game plan He played defense like I've never seen him play and and part of this to me is Is what makes problems great is that? He will listen and he will use it. You know, I I never saw a problem man up this many people and really like Play play more like I'm saying play more like More like a younger player and more than I mean he just really he problems always been more of a basic guy Real kind of like skimbo was on defense really I'll pray cover too. I'll blitz. I'll make a play with my user But this game he really got the game plan I'm saying he really mixed up his coverages Skimbo at this point we went over it last week. I believe oh no last one was me verse problem Before that it was skimbo versus kiv Yeah, exactly. See kiv knows they y'all broke down the game plan at this point of the year Skimbo was like by far By far the best player. This is when skimbo was like super super tough this was probably After I honestly he was probably the best player during man bowl for a rest of the year honestly But it was pretty much not only did he have z spot.  Is this too loud? That's all so this is going to be quick. This is a condensed version. It's going to move really And this was nickel normal Not bringing down the safeties It's gonna be that's the is that the fake clowny or real clowny at this time Problem had a fake clowny.  It was some bum Oh lord ran. I think that's ramsie little ramsie. I I forget. I wish I knew all the players We could look at the team really But like I said, this is the point of the year where nickel normal really got ridiculous Nickel normal flipped shift the other way bring the safeties downs really got kind of wild There's the fake clowny number 93 Five yard in route Going for a bomb There you go. Just cover two Yeah I gotta get in there. Look like you could have got in there So it's looking like a great drive for skimbo early I don't remember how good the quarterback sneak was obviously skimbo liked it Don't know why he went time out there now if you remember as the toss works right there This was one note. I'll make I'll definitely talk about is that this was before quick audibles This was you were stuck with the audibles you were given.  I can go to quarterback sneak You were stuck with what you know, what you picked at the play call screen really and it's really uh Weird to see as we watch these gameplays to see nobody Spinning nobody's you can anything like that At there we go audible down to a little problem typical stuff And I honestly told skimbo About base aligning that Set as he gets a lucky knockdown. I never wanted him to base align Any of the tight I've And here it is again with the base line press because I feel like you're just asking your quarterback to Are your corners to really get stopped? Or to get blocked and a big play happened. Look at the little speed juke, man I tell you the first person to put me on the speed juke Rest in peace was spot me play and you see him there unbase aligning as bolster stop Spot me please was the first one to put me on that little speed juke Probably one of the only moves other than uh tackle battle stiff arm that really worked this year, man As he's a problem getting screamed at this is what skimbo was really good Move that he would run db fire move these corners out a little bit and bring the safeties down a lot like nickel blitz Let me see it again. I'm getting the fourth and ten early Big in this game. He was in there. I gave you a fourth down to me.  He was there bugs is like the slow quiet The slow quiet push like bugs is just a little fist pump type That was a good dot Let's see at this point. I mean skimbo probably just I didn't want to score them a touchdown problem is a guy Is a runner. I mean he's a defensive player if you can get a lead on him It's definitely going to be It's definitely going to change the game if you're able to do that Five-yard in route unstoppable. That's the route that that made me great The bugs didn't have enough energy initiated. He didn't eat enough food today I'm saying Just take it. Good job Okay, this game plan is getting killed Yo Kid this game plan was getting popped early in the game Yeah Now now I will tell you We were playing about a lot of things and this game that's a pick And this game that's an interception mad 19. That's a pick every time Well, kid. What was the game plan? Skimbo was good at this point though, man So everything's going easy right now. I don't but this is before skimbo had a belt This was also scary skimbo really That's that that might have been a pick in mad 19-2 really So one-on-one the moss Goes to moss one-on-one again drops it again But problem is not that type of player. So three downs in a row He leaves one-on-one again So what what skimbo said? Honestly is because this game got ugly But out of three chances Out of three chances of that play The percentages in this game was that he probably could have caught one You know and and the fact he didn't catch one kind of changed the tide of the game Gave problem a little bit more life to where if he was down 14 nothing a little bit different of a game Honestly rams. He was a rookie.  Oh, that's Mike Evans.  We didn't get a hit right there Yes, like I said skimbo was definitely probably the first person really on tip drill You know that was definitely um One thing skimbo pretty much was on before anybody To the way you could audible down and run dive that fast was pretty pretty vicious No, pro site is actually starting to kill See what happened in this game is that skimbo wanted a baseline to shotgun but not baseline to tight And skip and problems snapping the ball before he can really even do that That was good defense. Oh Get a little more space Oh, Jesus that that was smooth pause Yes, definitely a lot of quick hiking I think I don't know if you had to pause been between hot routes in this game I yeah, because they did have conductor. So you definitely had to pause between hot routes. That was still a thing conductor and and Problem might have conductor. He looks like he has Aaron rogers. So he might have conductor Although I didn't really take problem as a conductor guy, but he might have conductor right here He was his final skimbo wasted a shit ton of timeouts and that will allow for you know The two minute warning to come into play on the next point.  He's gonna take those points, you know going in for it here. It's pretty dumb because The risk and reward is not that high. He gets the ball a half. He just needs to stay a lot Look at the crowd. That's a real live crowd Actually, I don't know if that side was live The other side, I don't know who those people were I don't think skimbo swerved successfully in this game. He tried a bunch of times late in the game, especially when he started getting boxed When he started getting boxed, he definitely tried. Oh, that looks scary And that's kind of what got him box problem picked off at least one I mean, he's got a lot of people manned up now definitely cross man and manning up a lot of people And this is what they knew Yeah, there it is dropped right there You knew and it looked crazy But you knew that this streak if this guy's cross man, thomas is eventually going to run by him at so many yards You know, and and they just knew that what what happened was happening here He was actually getting a real good bump By this linebacker to save that because this is harrison smith The marriage time is I want to say it wasn't like this year There was no 99 speed dudes the marriage time is I want to say one of maybe 93 speed Harrison smith wasn't terribly slow might have been 91 As you see, he definitely got a step you could have caught that pass and in this game with a rack egg Yeah, but Harrison smith wasn't fast enough Yeah, I'm telling you that's a good set. He's going to use his time out right here But I'm telling you that streak Almost a good punt damn, but definitely a big deal not getting in balance We'll see the spin. Oh, that's been actually was kind of tough Big punt return there skimbals normally a nerd as far as putting the ball out of bounds There's the playmaker. Oh, that's definitely infill will range Now I'm getting pissed off because he should I feel like he should not baseline any of this Yeah, that's how I feel but it really didn't matter how fast we were they were going on that Skimbo really had The most basic defense early Maybe one time out Let's do a problem problem Let's see what he does here. I'm assuming he takes a shot. Maybe that will route Ooh risky.  Um, did I ever watch? We definitely caught that so he just swerved two people right there All right, so second half skimbo only up four. So it's definitely Definitely a battle and he's got the ball I honestly at this point, I would if I was problem, I would keep coming back to that dive Uh skimbo had one thing we don't have that play anymore and uh The amount of play as they took out of the game. It's just like what? I mean and one thing about skimbo and I'll tell this from personal experience playing skimbo as the game goes on The more you realize you can pretty much run the same play You know, and this seems to be like the main play that that problem's getting real comfortable running Between this and dive and there he goes He can't unbase a line or you can't man a line fast enough before a problem snaps the ball Oh, Bolsa with a good hit. So I would keep coming back to this. What's funny about man. Something is nobody had a detack Yeah, that's one thing you got to realize about I said, this is skimbo.  He's gonna stay in this See he come back to the same play and he got to realize that that drag rounds pretty much won't be open any time because this was before One pause one we had previous play which kind of worked You know and also the thing about why previous play was tougher this year Was because you could not change the deep blues. So if you were in cover two, that's pretty much what you were in you know now Now you can change your cover two to cover four you change your whatever it may be You I feel like you can change your coverage so much more now That it's not as easy to just sit. It's not as easy to you know Dot the same defense and use previous play to your advantage So it's definitely different because you know skimbo's in cover two every single play Whereas in man 18 a man 17 you could change your cover two to cover three and skimbo can come down I actually lurk that drag but because skimbo was sitting covered two every time He has to run down a seam or down a wheel route every time. So promise I realized I can throw this drag every play And skimbo's whole philosophy a lot of times was I'm just gonna you know I'm gonna wait later in the game to make the adjustment. I need to make He said I will keep giving up the same thing But I'm gonna wait till later in the game to make the adjustment. I need to make A gain of zero and good players have good pocket Good dot right there great animation to be able to catch that So this is when skimbo starts getting the vibe like Starting to get in the vibe like okay. I done lost so many championships. I just lost the last championship I don't have a belt yet. He starts getting his own head Really You can tell that because now first play out of the gates Oh good defense there by Dan, but this is And boys could attest to this is that this is the first play we go to Out of the huddle.  We just went down 13 to 10.  Oh, look at now the detection Definitely got picked.  I'll be honest So back to the same play. Oh, dang. That's you got a shed right there. It looks like Cliff Averill Oh Drop that Those guys have headphones on they're listening to music and white noise to block Our voices are bad pun again by problem man. You gotta get that out of bounds But he didn't get that much this one skimbo's like I should stop swerving Got him there boom That was number one.  Yeah, it was a campus hero, but I don't really don't remember who it was I wonder if mudhead actually has um madden 17 somewhere Oh it does Problem was so blessed this whole tournament would the kick returns Let me see it again skimbo's sick Let's see this kick return again Problem was so blessed with kick returns in this tournament.  You just took the lead So now you're right back where you were my man. They able to sell 14 months So we got a battle This at time was what made them so tough was doing that flat rock and getting so many yards man I'm clown. He's just dominating Back to the w dot That was a read I honestly I want to say I want to say right here problem And I don't know I feel like he's been manning up the running back all game.  I feel like to read right away and I feel like The whole game problem was manning up the running back, right? so I think skimbo was like that running backs not going to be open So he's looking for the tie down early, but the running back. I felt was open right off the bat Right here. I think the running backs to throw maybe another half a second till he gets about right here But that's not manned up Unless that guy's just that damn slow. I guess he might be shoot, but these dudes got really close It looked like he even had to see right there.  Let me look at it again It definitely had to see we're out definitely hit everybody Heartflat was asked if it was from if it was from like the linebacker a defense event If you had a corner to heart flag picked six that shit, but it's harder to put a corner in a heart flat on that side Wow That was a lucky ass catch that one 17 I guess we missed that play good job here at EA sports Missed that play clearly in completion. Oh lord. It's all about stevie reed That was rough. What in the world? Yeah, this was probably the most sick. I've been watching a human being passing football It looks like corner strike. I guess he wants to notice. Uh, he kind of got bumped a little bit It was almost a dot and if you go back to this time of year it's tough to go back is like this is when People were motioning in this corner out and he would beat them That little bump right there and he stopped So that was definitely uh, I see problems a thousand now problem is like I want to maybe get a little too conservative That was a good shed right there. I think I would have went back to the dive The dive kind of been his best run so far But he's actually has been killing him out of this So I don't know why he's in like the I'm gonna pause it. I feel like the dive has been killing him I don't know why he's in these random pistol runs. I feel like the the tight slides dive has really been Precise wasn't that good. No, he wasn't crazy, but I'm saying like that. I don't know why he went away from the dive Seeing you get no yards on a zone out of pistol that was pretty That was pretty shitty, you know, and we'll be interested to see when skimbo uses Skimbo's letting the clock run here. Now, let me take this back I might have used the time out there. I feel like I missed four plays What are we doing here at EA sports? This was first down. God damn it So this runs want to get to the two minute warning So I'm assuming problem is going to run on second down And not get any yards. I don't know what run he went to But okay, so now we get a third and 10 problem gets this first down can ice the game out Obviously he's had two runs. He has kept the clock running But now he's at a third and 10 to where he could run again make skimbo use the timeout Uh, as far as I mean, obviously he would punt if he doesn't get any yards here and let me see We already saw he does the fast play. So it's definitely a This is That's a big drop And I'll tell you why that's a big drop and I and one thing about this pass is I think prime pass led it up Made it a little more because I feel like you can always get this on the clouds He went up right into that land in Collins Because if he catches that One the clock is running skimbo uses the timeout. So now skimbo only has two timeouts One he's at a fourth and two or a fourth and three Which is definitely an area where he could go for it now at a fourth and 10 Yeah, you have to punt being up three points So that that that was a tough little three-play sequence offensively for problem Where he could have iced the game and did not allow it looks like a great punt Lucky bounce for skimbo right there, man It's really no way to control that and man that would have been huge if he could have got him at the two-yard line So he has all the time in the world needs a feelable. That's okay Skimbo has the sea route every play Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Wesley, you got a chance to go for it and the game Yeah, for sure.  Honestly, I think that's the fourth time He dropped one caught three I think You know at some point you have to realize this isn't the setup, you know And maybe you can get to the point where you have to put Deanna that guy Really, I don't know but that's definitely something that's killed him the whole game It's pretty much the only offense problem has had and continually do that same adjustment It's pretty rough. The problem needs a touchdown. He's got three timeouts Process fighting He went to slant zone right here. Oh, that's killer drag for two yards. He's saving the time out. I might have burned it Now skimbo and quarter through deep You never had this we're good dot though Wow One throw to the end zone. Oh, I remember this play too. This was a good play. It doesn't happen yet.  I think if you could have put Some type of flat zone to try to hold this guy and keep put a little coochie spot But really Yeah, you could have used that time out at that point. You're really in a tough spot 31.  You're maybe you get four throws into the end zone So that was that game. Definitely I if I came back to this game Problem 1,000 percent lost this game when this set it down You know if he gets a first down here You know, it's pretty much pretty much ggs with the time and uh Now we got a run play here I don't know if we have this in another youtube Another youtube doc. I actually see what plays he he chose because that was definitely uh Oh, here we go. Yeah, this was the uh This was the first now. I feel like this set of play calls is what killed him, you know Like this because these are the ones because like I said, I feel like the dive I feel like the dive is definitely Killing him more than pistol. You know what I'm saying pistol zone I'm not a fan of this call you know And skimbo actually got sheds and then he had 31 fighting and he had a good user on that play really blew that up And I this go to two minute warning but for me In these situations is it's kind of the hardest time to pass is on third down I think if you're going to sneak a pass in here and problem knows if he gets this first down I mean, he's going to be able to isolate a game. So for me If I was going to pass and problem being a conservative guy, he's going to run again on second down But for me, it's going to be easier to pass on first down or second down than it will be on third down But he's hoping I can get four or five yards on third on second down here Uh, and he go what does he go to a little dive that was good user by skimbo blow that up really forced him back in the middle No yards So now you kind of have to go for this You know So there we go. I mean this is Now the one thing about skimbo, man is that Problem had been running at one plate a whole game. Now for me You got to know that Moss down the seam 81 right here skimbo's going to have to run with that. He sends out he sends out all five people For me If you could just high low one side streak moss or And block somebody he has to get rid of ball right away But I said he leads that up right into traffic If he catches that for you know for six yards even falls forward for seven eight He probably goes for it can't go for a fourth and ten And I think those three plate calls are probably the ones he wants to have back But then at the same time As we go back to this a million times, man If if you get beat by the same thing or somebody really doesn't have anything high powered You know to continually give him this and to give it to him for the third or fourth time I wasn't right there, but I think I believe it's the next play to give him that streak again For the win. You know what I mean? That's That's tough. That's probably something else he's looking back at You know, but as much as man problem Definitely, uh between the kick returns against joker more than more than skimbo to kick return against skimbo hurt But it wasn't the reason he was in the game. His defense was playing really good and But to give him this again ah man And what's crazy about about this play is because of what you have to do against corner strike What you have to do against the running back hard flat all these zones to stop these three receivers It allows skimbo just that much more time to bail out because there's no pass rush over here If he if he's bliss is five and this guy gets around the corner Skimbo can't just roll up as easily as he can on this play But because of all this coverage over here a hard flat Maned up on a running back all these people he can roll out to the left easily Bomb it up and score a touchdown Now I will tell you I don't remember If you could send the spy in madden 17 As that's that's about the last play I want to look at but really I don't remember I don't remember if you could send the spy in madden 17. I really don't I want to say you could But uh, that would have helped to have a spy out there send the spy when he rolled out like that But man that was a great game Uh, just play corner offense problem with them two runs getting negative no yards getting to a third and 10 Passing that one pass up getting broken up early forcing him to punt You just can't give up the same play. Uh, you know four times in a game really Uh Yeah, so that was pretty much as you guys saw the crowd. I mean The atmosphere for that game Was one that would invite people in Was something that they could have packed because as much as it was probably 10 rows of seats maybe eight long So it's probably room for a hundred a hundred plus people in there I think you could have sold you could have got 500 people to watch that game You know, maybe even more than that that game the atmosphere was crazy The atmosphere was great. This was the last tournament that they had like that pretty much You know, that was it then they got rid of the live the live, uh Well, I guess the madden classic kind of had it mad 18 kind of had a lot I want to say it was a little more limited though. They didn't just let anybody in there really So, yeah mad 17 was great man It was a lot of fun and that was a great game So probably one of the best games of madden 17, but with that being said Um, I'm going to give away. I'll give away a code. Why not? You guys are here for codes Nobody anybody that asks for codes is not eligible I will do this. This is going to be the first ones are going to be subs only boys I got to support the subs of mine that have, you know, really, uh Supported me even throughout the off season in the last two years people with purple badges red badges even blue badges, man Uh Yeah, it was nobody else in there. That's it. So You guys have definitely been watching these podcasts and in the man in the off season I'm excited to see what the show's going to become when the new man comes out Like I said, there's definitely a lot of um buzz around man right now pretty much because of the The new game coming out is definitely got everybody ready to play pretty much You know And that's why people are really watching and I've heard that they're going around sneaking codes In the different streams. I heard that's a real thing hasn't happened to dub that w Thank you jack. I appreciate you man But lucky I did a kiver skimbo man Challenge I did me verse problem.

Oh my god You know what the worst part about the books versus shugs game was it was during the tournament where they they thought that broadcast camera was the move I really do also all players That are good like blocky and kiv And um, you guys are not eligible I'm Because everybody with mcs points is getting code. So Yo, and you know what makes me mad about the gameplay camera, you know is Like they try they do it to try to attract It's a try to attract I'll be honest though I did start thinking it was hot earlier because you could throw the ball when people do the ball You didn't know exactly what was going to happen You know, whereas normally when we watch mad and you know exactly you kind of see the coverage You see if it's open or not, but in that mode, you didn't know what was going to happen when they do the ball So it was kind of like oh, shit. What's going to happen? But Like they do this and it pisses me off because I play a lot of 2k as you guys know I like watching 2k. I like watching the sixers. I like that So For me they do it in 2k the third quarter they want to say this is the broadcast camera time And it pisses me off because the goal of it is listen the goal is to try to attract Pretty much attract the um, this is the list of people by the way subs only man We're not giving codes to y'all that don't support like misery.

There's so many people that play 2k like the 2k league will get 5 000 people, right? There's so many more people that play 2k You have to market to the 2k to the gamers the gamers are the one that's going to make the game blow up You know, you're not going to catch a jock that just watches football and turn him into you know saying into all sudden a gamer fan He wants to watch a video game. Hell no You know saying but you will turn the gamer who loves playing the game into a video game watcher That's how I feel and I feel like The the broadcast camera turns away the gamers You know, I don't know man.

Hello, thank you for joining me. I'm at Brookmans Park Station, or standing just outside Brookmans Park Station, and that was a Thameslink class 700002 heading south. I've come here today to have a look around the village and the park, and we're going to go and look for a rather exciting looking folly. So, oh, and there's an Azuma coming, so let's just see that. Two Azumes, two five car ones together, and then we'll get on with this walk. That was 801-107, 801-108. So, Brookmans Park Station, it's a bit of a later addition to the East Coast mainline. It opened in July 1926. You can just see the little ticket office down there, and then there's the bridge. Unfortunately, it's not disabled accessibility, which is a bit of a shame. So, maybe at some point in the future we'll see this station modernized and we'll have to come back and have a look. But right now, this is the village center of Brookmans Park, so it's quite an interesting village. It's not your sort of really old historical village. As I said, they opened the station in 1926 once the East Coast mainline had already been there for a fair few years. It's quite well known in aviation as a marker point for planes flying once they've left the London airport. They go by Brookmans Park and then they usually go by Clacton as their marking points on where to fly. So, what we're going to do, we're going to go and have a look at an old country estate once we get out the village and then have a look through to find an old folly. So, this is the village center. As you can see, it feels like a typical London suburban village, but we're not in London, we're in Hartfordshire. And as I said, I didn't come by train. I came here in my larder. So, my larder is quite happily sitting here in the village center while we go and explore. It does look nice with all the blossom out on the trees. So, let's just have a quick look across here. Well, this is interesting. So, look, we've got a Russian classic car there and there you have a German classic car. I'll let you decide which one you prefer, both I personally prefer the larders, but I do appreciate seeing any other form of classic car. So, here is, this is called Broadmore Green, this area of the village. There's also a transmitting station. That's the other thing that Brookmans Park is quite well known for. But I'm going to head up there. We're going to try and find what was here in Brookmans Park before this village of Brookmans Park appeared. That's a really cute little estate agents there, made of wood, little village pump.  I just found this little council crest here on this planter. It's interesting, this is Northmines and that, that is the folly we're going to go and look for. But why is Northmines spelt different to Southmines? I really don't know that, so if anyone does know, please comment and tell me, because they're like next to each other. But one spell of an eye, one spell for why. Anyway, this is the church, it's a united reform church. I do quite like this era of church. You know, they're a bit underappreciated, but I think it's only like a little tower on top. So, we're going to walk past the church and keep going and have a look. We're looking for a road called Moffat's Lane and up there there used to be a farm. So, we'll have a look at the old farmhouse because I believe that still stands. One last look at the church and then we're going to carry on to Gobien's Park and find that folly. I've just walked up Moffat's Lane. It's a very residential area, as you can see, but what we're going to find very soon is what would have been here before the railway and before Brooklyn's Park grew up. As you can see, it's quite a normal width road. It starts to narrow here and takes on more the feel of a country lane with a lot of houses. Probably looking at these, there must have been one property here. They've demolished it and built for perhaps in the 1980s at some point. Have a look at this building ahead of us though. You can see it looks so much older. Well, it is so much older. This would have been here before the railway because this building here is the old Moffat's Farmhouse. So, imagine this would have all just been rural land. So, there's been a farm here, Moffat's Farm, and then there was the Gobien's Park. And there was another estate where a man with a similar name to Brookman lived and that's where supposedly Brookman's Park comes from. See how suddenly you've got an older wall and there's your old farmhouse. So, this is what would have been at Brookman's Park before the railway. And up here, it looks like there's an old chapel up here. I'm not sure. Anyone wants to know. Oh, yeah, just so you know, Moffat's Farm. So, yeah, not a farmhouse anymore. A much older house in a residential area. But that would have been here way before the railway. So, this building here to me looks like it's possibly an old chapel going by the windows. And clearly, it's a fair bit older than any of the other buildings. So, anyone knows more about this or this little chapel. Do let me know. Then just up here behind these trees, there's a few more older houses. But soon, we're going to find our way into Gobien's Park. And we're going to go and find a site of the old mansion before walking down through the valley to look for that folly. I'll just let you see that old chapel. I've now come into Gobien's Park. Now, this would have been a big country estate. It would have been, the house would have been about here somewhere. You actually see there's a slight flat bit and a bit of a drop. So, I'm kind of guessing a bit the location, but it must have been around here somewhere. What happened was though the other estate in Brooklyn's Park, which is a mile or so, that way, the people who lived there, they acquired this estate and they were jealous. So, they demolished this house, but then their house burned down as well. So, there's now no country houses left here. But at least we have got this really nice park. We'll follow on down to the lake. And then down beyond the lake, there's the Ray Brook, which is the river we're going to follow to try and find this folly. So, this lake must be maybe fed by a spring that then goes down into the Ray Brook. So, I'm going to keep walking on down towards the lake. I've made it down to the lake. So, imagine once, probably all these trees along here weren't there, and the house would have looked down, crossed their gardens onto the lake. And this would have been the centrepiece of the estate. And looking across the lake, you'd have seen the house up there. It's all been very nice and attractive once. Well, it is now, just in a different sort of way. We're going to follow the lake along down there. We're going to find the Ray Brook and eventually make our way up to the most exciting thing on this walk, the Brooklyn's Park folly. We've now reached the end of the man-made lake. What we're going to do now is follow the path down the hill slightly to the Ray Brook. So, a moment ago, we were about there. So, I've just come along near to the lake. We'll follow this path down here. And this is one of those videos where I've literally never been here before. So, as I show this to you, this is my first time seeing it as well. So, let's just see what we find. Oh, yeah, it says, it says, Gobien's Worth Nature Reserve, run by the Hearts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust. So, let's go and see what we find. So, down here somewhere, we should find the Ray Brook. So, my plan is to, well, I can show you from here actually, we'll follow the Ray Brook to about there. You just see there's some well-entonia trees. That's always an indication that somewhere is an old country estate because well-entonia trees aren't native. They wouldn't naturally be growing there. So, someone's clearly planted them when the estate was planned. So, we're just going to see what we can see of that estate, but it's really kind of come on quite a long way and it's turned into this public park it is today. All we've got here is another little pond. I believe from looking on the map, it shows this pond and I think it's a spring and there's another little stream which flows down to the Ray Brook. I assume now there must be another spring up there to feed that lake or maybe it's when they created it, they just built a good enough lining to keep the water in. I'm not too sure on that one. And as we get to here, we've got a very nice old oak tree. So, no doubt that's been here during the days of when this was a country estate and all these hawthorns look really nice with their blossom out. Might as well. We'll keep walking now. I think the Ray Brook is going to be just down here. So, this is the Natural River which they've kind of built the park around really. So, my plan is to then follow the Ray Brook and what we should find is remains of an old bridge part of the old carriageway route in and out this state and then from there we'll be able to walk up to find the main purpose of making this video, this folly. So, we're now coming into another wood and it looks very attractive. As for that pond I mentioned up there, you can just see here. You can see it's not really a stream but there's a little trickle of water just flowing down there towards the Ray Brook. So, it's really nice this woodland here and I can just see a bridge up here over the Ray Brook. I'm not sure if that's actually the bridge I want but we'll go to it anyway. I'm probably going to walk up that way up there. It's a very nice, really attractive woodland. Quite nice and quiet as well. You know, sometimes you go out in these days and there's more people than trees in these woodlands but this is really nice. So, here's the Ray Brook. There's not a huge amount of water in it I expected for it to come down here a couple of months ago all this would have had water in but there's a trickle flowing through or it's even a suspension bridge. I like this little wooden suspension bridge over the Ray Brook. That's really nice. Actually, it's a metal suspension bridge but the handles are teak. Of course, I've done other videos about bridges that haven't been quite successful as this and have a link on screen now to see that. So, here we go. The path that way looks nice though. Let's just go along here and have a couple more bridges but I'm actually heading in that direction but these bridges just look too enticing not to bother with. Now, I'm going to go over here because I have just spotted something through the trees which I keep saying we're actually looking for in this video. We can get to here. Can I show this to you on the trees? You may or may not be able to see just there on the horizon. That's the folly we're looking for but we're going to go up there and have a closer look. So, I've got to go back down through the woods and see what we can find. Come along the Ray Brook little bit further and we have found the remains of an old bridge. You can just see there, there is a little brick arch there. Whether that have been a bigger arch here I'm not sure but you can see an embankment either side. So, during those days when they would have ridden around in their horse and carriages they would have passed over here. Think about it, royalty would have passed over here at some point in the 15th century probably before the folly was built. If you look that way you can just see a slight sort of kink in the land where they would have ridden up across the field out of here. Well, actually if you look down there you can see the foundations of the bridge so they would have continued up there on up to where the Brookmans Park estate was. So, it's a bit complicated how basically two estates have merged and they didn't seem to like each other and they knocked each other's houses down but, well, that's how things were back then. But this year it's a bit like doing an old railway walk standing on the remains of an old bridge that's not going to go anywhere. I believe though it probably only collapsed in the 60s. I've heard it was people who walked across here probably doing a similar walk to what I'm doing although not holding a camera and talking up into the 1960s you could have crossed here but maybe one day a lot of rain came along seems hard to believe now but the flow is quite low at the moment but swept it away, I'm not sure if anyone does know how the bridge got destroyed then do comment and let me know. So, as I said, this is like a little kink and we've gone straight up to where the folly is. So, there's really only one thing left to do now is to all go over another little bridge not quite as exciting as the ones we saw back there, this one's just over a little sort of ditch but to continue through what I think is a really, really nice woodland there's another bridge up there to continue through this woodland over more exciting little bridges, enjoy the walk and then there should be a footpath up there to that folly. Here's another bridge so probably if I've come, as I said if I've come here a few weeks ago there's been water trickling down there So, let's just see if we can get a view of the folly again before we continue on up we might not get a great view through here but you might just get a sight of it for you There we are Let's go and have a closer look So, I did say we would leave the woods and go up to the folly we're going to do that very soon and here, here's those Wellingtonias we could see from further back directly that way and just see the folly in the distance but as for the bridge I was talking about I think that was perhaps just a little a state bridge, the one back there used by farmers because here I know it doesn't look that much here actually, talking of the trees that's either a Wellingtonia or a Redwood these ones, a few of these they're all coniferous trees and none of them will grow here naturally they've all been planted this is the bridge so, we will go down in a moment you can just see the bridge there you can see the flints just here so probably what would have happened was it would have had obviously a parapet each side of the bridge oh, in fact look at that there's fallen over there that is the pier at the end of the bridge imagine a pier there a parapet with flint in to the other side and another pier let's go down and have a look I'm sure this woodland is going to look really really nice in a few weeks time when all the bluebells come out but from standing up here we get a really nice view of the bridge let's go down and have a closer look the river is quite narrow down there so what I should do is, today, but it seems like such a hot spring day that I didn't wear well another indication of it being a country state is there's a few little parodidendron plants there which as nice as they look they are an invasive species there we go, across the river by jumping across here's the bridge look at that very nice reflection see the trees on the other side so, I think this time if we all leave towards this time I'll actually go and find this folly but I'm really pleased to have found this bridge so intact, it's very ruined and rustic looking but it still does the purpose that means you can walk from one side of the river to the other which is obviously what it was designed to do so, that would take you on up to the old Brutmans Park and this is the bridge I can just see where the folly is up there so let's finally go up there and find the Brutmans Park folly I've walked on up from the woodlands I don't think the camera is going to pick it out but that noise you can hear it's a little micro light flying above so we're almost at the folly so, down there that is where the Ray Brook was you might just see the micro light there we go, the little micro light so, the Ray Brook was down there and it was all part of the garden designed by Charles Bridgeman he was a bit like Edvillity Brown, a bit of a person, he designed lots of gardens with streams and follies et cetera but now we've effectively left the estate we're here, up on Hawkeshead Road right on the very edge of Brutmans Park there's another little residential area up here and it's on this green in front of us, where this folly is which we've come all the way from the railway station and where I parked my car over on Broadmoor Green to see this I had actually planned this to be a not particularly long walk and I was going to get in the car and go and do another walk today but I've decided that I've done quite a lot today it's been a pretty long walk so if you are thinking of coming here be prepared to have a good long walk it's not the sort of place you could just pull your car up here and have a look, if you want to see some of the the parkland like I did which I really recommend and of course you could come by train because I've basically got to walk all the way back to the railway station anyway so if you're in London you can come up and do this day out, that's for the folly well there it is so it's built in the 17th century local rumour has it there's a farving between every piece of brick I'm certainly not going to get chiseled and start chipping away to find out there's a lodge house on the other side that's quite interesting looking building but yes supposedly between the bricks there's a farving, I don't know how true that is look at that what I don't know is I don't think from looking at it is there any stairs inside maybe there's just a ladder up each side great to go up there though you must get some fantastic views and go around from the top I've seen no pictures of it in the 1920s it had all ivy up it and it wasn't looking great and by the 1990s it was cracked and the arch was actually starting to collapse and it was all held up with scaffolding and accros but then they restored it and now it looks great it's a Gratostar listed building I think it's a really impressive thing see I can just see through there whether the camera is going to pick it out about where my finger is I can just see the masts of Brookmans Park Transmitter Station so from the folly at the top end of the Gobians Park estate I hope you enjoyed this video, thank you very much for watching please do feel free to like, subscribe and comment and you know why not get in your car, come on the train and do this walk for yourself it's a very very pleasant walk thank you very much, goodbye
