You know what I'm saying? But let me ask that question. How, you know, how was it? You know, I know you was with Dr. Rock, Liam, because I remember, man, I hate to go to work. Why do I hate to go to work? Why do I have to go to work? Boss talk 101. Here we go. How was it growing up in West Isles? Go now hear about West Isles. Even up to today, I hear about how bad it is. So was it that way when you were growing up? I mean, every neighborhood is pretty much the same. You know what I mean? Okay. Was it no different from that in Oak Cliff? Oak Cliff is Oak Cliff. West Isles is the grove. It's the grove. It's all just, you know, it's Dallas is where we at. Okay. And West Isles has good boys and it's bad boys. Okay. Like every other, you know, that's something we all, we're still working on together. And you were raised with your mom and dad? I was raised with my grandmother. Your grandmother? Yeah. So you're spoiled brat and growing up? No. Because you know, grandma has always spoiled them grandkids. Not this one. Not this one. No, she from West Dallas. Are you an only child? No. I'm the youngest. Baby boy? Yeah. Okay. You weren't spoiled really? Well, I was spoiled in the house when I was with my mother and father. Oh, okay. But grandma didn't play that? Not at all. So why didn't, why were you living with grandma and not mom and dad?  Back then it's just as hard as it was? Kind of, you know, it's just how relationships go between men and women. Okay. When it's a struggle between them, it's always the child that's kind of down to me. So my grandmother was, she just wanted me over there. Okay, that's good. It gave you a better stable household and upbringing and so forth. Yeah. So how old were you when you discovered, you know, rap? You're like, I want to do this.  You know what I'm saying? But let me ask that question. How, you know... How was it? You know, I know you was with Dr. Rogley. Because I remember, man, I hate to go to work.  You remember that, don't you? It was a part like when you get up in the morning, you would hear this song. And it was jamming to a little bit. You know what I'm saying? But how was it? Was it the Feel Our First Crew? Yeah, it was the Feel Our First Crew. How was that, man? Like, how did y'all even get that group together, that early on, when music really wasn't just big, big in Dallas? How old were you at that time? I was 16, 17. And me and this guy from West Dallas, we made commercials on a local television channel. I think it was Channel 21. We used to make these commercials for their lineup. They'd eatin' in rock salt on TV. And he was like, wow, you guys are good. We should make a group. And we was like, okay. You know, you get in the party free after that. So let's do it. And back then, groups were more prevalent. You saw groups everywhere, didn't you? Yeah. I mean, when Dallas was just budding, that thing, right? It was, you know, rap wasn't born yet. That's what I was wondering. So y'all, you can almost say y'all were like the fathers of rap, right? For Dallas. Well, yeah. Because if you said nobody else, nobody else in Dallas was doing it before y'all? Yeah. I mean, because we were here when it started. When it started, right? Yeah. It used to be just dancing. And so pop lockin' and all that was the big thing. Mm-hmm. And then rap came. I remember going to Glendale with my guys. It was called Rockets. Mm-hmm. That's Fresh Caves and the Rockets. And Jero in the boxheads was out there in no clip. And that's what it was all about that back then, if he was the dancer. But as hip hop started to progress, the guy, the guy with the slick, you know, the rhymes just started getting all the attention. Right.


We've previously talked about how as a form of economic relief to newly unemployed Americans Trump has repeatedly proposed Cutting the payroll tax. Now, you're probably thinking how would cutting the payroll tax in any way shape or form benefit newly Unemployed people who aren't on anyone's payroll And that's the exact question that you should be asking and the answer is because Donald Trump Doesn't really care about the payroll tax in particular. He knows that this isn't going to Help anyone economically, but he has an insidious agenda. He's covertly trying to undermine another program That's why he's taking aim at the payroll tax and he's trying to package it in, you know Relief language when this is gonna hurt Americans more than anything so he just signed an executive order that allows for a payroll tax holiday, but if he's reelected on November 3rd He is promising to Permanently cut the payroll tax If I'm victorious on November 3rd, I plan to forgive these taxes and make permanent cuts to the payroll tax I'm gonna make them all permanent Now if you don't know much about social security and how it's funded You may think that that statement from him is just like this benign innocuous comment That doesn't really amount to anything but make no mistake about it He wants to cut social security and that's why he said that because the way that we primarily fund social security and Medicare extremely popular programs is through a payroll tax So if you can cut the payroll tax then you undermine social security you undermine Medicare Now what Republicans oftentimes like to do is they like to Underfund government programs break them and then use them breaking said program as evidence that government-run programs don't work So they then apply a solution because big government bad and they suggest You know maybe a private company should come along and actually handle this program because they can do a better job than government It's a con. It's a lie They break the programs because they want their donors on Wall Street to be able to profit off of these programs that are currently Not profitable right Wall Street has been salivating over social security for decades now They've been trying to find a way to undermine social security But it's so popular that any politician who was attempted to undermine social security has failed miserably Bill Clinton tried it George W. Bush tried it Obama tried to cut social security But guess what each time this happens it fails because there is harsh pushback But Trump is not trying to tell you his real agenda He is trying to cut social security by going about it in this roundabout way But make no mistake about it. You cut the payroll tax you undermine social security Now if you think that Donald Trump, you know wouldn't Want to do something like this. He wouldn't go back on his 2015 promise to protect social security He already admitted this year that he is more than willing to look at entitlements entitlements ever be on your plane At some point they will be we have tremendous growth We're gonna have tremendous growth this next year I it'll be toward the end of the year the growth is gonna be incredible and at the right time We will take a look at that you know That's actually the easiest of all things if you look because it's that you're willing to do some of the things that you said You wouldn't do in the past though in terms of Look, we also have assets that we never gee. I wonder what he's talking about when he talks about entitlements. I Mean look, he's he's laying it out there So if you are an older Donald Trump supporter and you're the beneficiary of social security a program that you paid into your entire life The president is taking aim at this and he already by executive order assigned a tax holiday for the payroll tax and If he's elected he is promising to make that a permanent thing which means that social security Will possibly go bankrupt under Donald Trump now They like to already suggest like politicians not just Republicans but on both sides of the aisle not the both sides of this But there's this assumption that we have to do something about social security because it's gonna be insolvent if we don't take immediate action Except that's a lie. Any politician who says that to you is a liar Social security will remain solvent for decades to come and even after it's not fully solvent 100 percent currently Then it will remain solvent by 90 percent 85 percent and so on right So it's not like we have to do something But they want you to think that this program as it is needs some type of adjustment now by adjustment They often mean either cut at minimum or in worst case scenario privatize it entirely We all know that that's what they want, but you have to understand what they're doing here They're never just gonna say hey We want to cut or privatize social security because they know how unpopular that would be because people like social security But if you give them an inch They're gonna take a mile if you cut the payroll tax and you undermine the key funding mechanism for social security You end up undermining social security now for more of this We got a John Keely of common dreams who reports defenders of the program including the advocacy group social security works We're quick to point out the implication of what the president said and condemned Trump for threatening the program that has kept Countless millions of people out of poverty during retirement years or due to disability since it was created over 75 years ago We just heard it straight from Trump's own mouth the group responded if reelected He will destroy social security commonly known as the payroll tax Those are taxes paid both by employers and employees as dictated by the federal insurance Contributions Act that go to pay for both social security and Medicare Trump's executive order which seeks to defer social security contributions is bad enough said Nancy Altman President of Social Security works But his promise to terminate FICA contributions if he is reelected is a full-on declaration of war Against current and future social security beneficiaries Social security is the foundation of everyone's retirement security Altman added at a time when pensions are vanishing and 401k Have proven inadequate Trump's plan to eliminate Social Security's revenue stream would destroy the one source of retirement income that people can Count on moreover social security is often the only disability insurance and life insurance that working families have if Reelected Trump plans to destroy those benefits as well as the Trump administration has foreshadowed this kind of move for months Economists on Friday warned again that any effort to undermine the payroll tax would do practically nothing to help struggling workers and families But everything to sabotage two of the most popular and successful programs in the country now that last point to me is common sense I mean if your response to help unemployed people who are struggling during a pandemic is to cut the payroll tax Something is fishy there like the bullshit mechanism in your brain should be going off Like there should be red flags that you see almost visibly because that is not a normal response When you see people struggling and they need healthcare they need economic relief I mean you take action in the form of you know extending unemployment and he did Have some executive orders with regard to unemployment But I mean what you have to do is meet the specific needs that they have The payroll tax is not going to be on the minds of struggling Americans Like the only way you would think that this is going to benefit you if you're unemployed Is if you know when you go back to work you assume this will lead to you having more money and sure if you and your employer Pays less payroll taxes you'll have more money in your pocket theoretically speaking in the short term But long-term you're gonna be fucked over You're not gonna be able to retire if he does in fact do this Which is why you shouldn't just allow him to do this understand the covert agenda that he has here and Stop supporting him stop supporting people who are attacking the one thing that allows us to retire So I mean look I've been talking about this now for months and sounding the alarm About Donald Trump's agenda like he's very very clear about what he wants to do and You just have to read between the lines a little bit to see that this is about social security He wants to undermine social security Cut the payroll tax under fine social security then propose a solution to that a solution Either privatizing it, you know raising the retirement age cutting benefits Something but it's not gonna be good and it's gonna be something that proponents of Social Security Aren't gonna like so I mean when you see this you can't support him like the beneficiaries on Social security who support Donald Trump they have to know like you have to let them know about things like this They have to acknowledge that this isn't just something that could spell disaster for Social Security in the long term like you know The people who are like, you know, fuck you. I got mine. It's just the future generations. We're gonna pay for it No, I mean if he underfund Social Security, do you honestly think it's just gonna be future generations? No, there's gonna be adjustments to the cost of living raised every single year that Social Security Recipients receive and that's gonna amount to a cut. I mean you just have to understand This is Social Security. We're talking about it's been under attack by Wall Street for decades now They've been salivating over Social Security a private company would love to handle this Don't let them we saw what happened with 401ks. I mean the article alluded to it. They're insufficient They are insufficient. So do you honestly believe that a private company would be better off? Handling Social Security. I mean Republicans always want to prove that government doesn't work by breaking government-run programs But in this instance Social Security actually works Don't let them touch it and if he actually does go through with a permanent tax cut or payroll tax cut. I Mean there needs to be people Freaking out taking to the streets because it's unacceptable and you cannot let him get away with this Subscribe if you like this video fucks Mike's tremendous and he's doing a really really good job Many people are telling me about how wonderful the humanist report is Bigly


Just another day in paradise. Hello, YouTube. Speaking of children. And we might have to talk up because the camera's still on the way. Oh, okay. Okay. So don't be afraid. YouTube! YouTube! Hey! You asked, and we listened, financial tips in 2018.  And so, I'm going to pass it off to True Love.  If you didn't know, we are eight weeks. When you see this, eight weeks away. Eight weeks away from baby number three. Our youngest will be four years old when this little pumpkin arrives. And what we did was we gave everything away. Every single thing, besides the baptismal gown, away because we were just storing it and we thought it could bless other people. And because we knew this secret that I'm about to tell you. The baby train. I'm going to dub this. The baby train. Babies are born every single hour of every single day across the world. Is that right, Dave? Yes. Claim it, Dave. They are. As you know, most of you know, and, you know, they did, you don't need much stuff at all with infants and children at all. The simpler, the better, the more minimalist you can keep it the best. But do not feel like when you receive the happy news that you're expecting a baby that you need to run out and spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on gear and clothes and equipment. You do not. In fact, I would like to challenge you to spend zero dollars.  So much stuff that you, it'll be too much. You won't even be able to use it all. So this is just literally a small example of some of our, some of our amazingly generous friends who in their own way of not being attached are just passing on their old clothes and gear and equipment. And I mean, just how precious is this? I just swoon and dive when I think of this. But certain things like, for instance, these bottles, they were never used. They just came the family that passed them on, never needed them. And then some of this stuff is like these bibs. I'm so excited about these are for like the drool things and they're lined with fleece on the back. And then some of this stuff over there. We have burp cloths that are handmade that are just beautiful, not to mention just like incredible things that you will use.  I remember we had a pair with Joseph and Sethi and when we were done with them, they were still good because they're babies. They're not actually like walking very far. Then I bet you 20 kids could wear these or 40 before they would start to fall apart or wear down. So when we're done with them, we're just going to pass them on toys, diaper bags. This little thing is a bouncer, jumpy swing that you can hook up between your doorpost, boppies, boppies and more boppies, boppie covers, boppies that buckle in the back. The clothes are incredible. You absolutely do not need to buy any clothes. Maybe there's a specific thing item you need that didn't come back to you. I would recommend going to a used store. The one near us is called Once Upon a Child. And there are or garage sales if it's in the spring or summertime. There are, there's so much baby gear and you absolutely do not need to buy a brand new that it's out there. People use it for a moment and then they pass it on. Just spread the word and you will be overwhelmed. I mean, already the nursery, all the drawers, the drawers are packed with clothes and there's this and this and this. There's a box down here and a bag over there that we haven't even put into the nursery yet. The point is friends, babies are gifts. They are joys. Children are the most amazing thing. They grow fast and they grow in stages. There's so much of this stuff out there that people just actually the friend who gave me most of this stuff that you can see, she was like, thank you. Thank you for taking all this stuff out of my life so I can think again. Um, so it's a blessing. And then when you're done with it, you pass it forward.  So put the word out best of luck. And if you're expecting congratulations, we're good folks. We're good. I just put it all in the baby. Oh man. I didn't, we didn't even show you the drawers. I'm not even going to show them. Our drawers are packed. Thank you. Thank you. Put the word out. That's the tip of the day. Put the word out. Let people know that you're having a baby. They will provide. I'm telling you people have baby stuff and once the baby gets big enough I'm heading out on the road for 10 days starting next week. And so I'm in a little bit of a, not panic mode, but just frantic mode trying to get things done before I leave. So I got to close out the vlog now. I've got an interview at seven o'clock tonight.  So I'm going to stop so I can edit so I can upload so I can start filming again tomorrow. Bottom line. Thanks for being here. Thanks for stopping by. Thanks for watching the little financial tip of the video from true love. And yes, I'll be back tomorrow. I think possibly with a running video. So you do great. YouTube is just great.


Is Instagram to blame for ruining South Korean society? This celebrity mathematician seems to think so. So let's see if he did the math. Yeah, Chung-Sung Jae is a celebrity mathematician and on YouTube. He also does some videos with like K-pop stars. He's like the youthful millennial mathematician in South Korea. And basically he went on a super viral rant on his YouTube channel, blaming Instagram for declining birth rates and potentially in the future the long-term decline of South Korean society just because not numerically it'll vanish. Wow, well you know what? I guess it's kind of cool that South Korea even has a famous mathematician. I can't even think of a famous mathematician in America. I can think of one, Terrence Tau. He teaches at UCLA. That's the only one I've ever heard of. The closest thing I can think of in America, Andrew, and it's more science-based is Bill Nye the Science Guy and maybe Neil deGrasse Tyson. All right, everybody. We're going to get into the comments section. We'll give you our takeaways. Can you blame Instagram? Can you blame social media for the declining birth rate in South Korea? Let's talk about it. Please hit that like button. Check out other episodes from the Hop Hop Boys. Real quick, we have to establish the facts, Andrew, because Chung-Sung Jae went on a crazy rant on his YouTube channel, right? But he's going on the rant because he sees the numbers, right? The numbers mean that South Korea has a 0.78 birth rate, right? That means two people are having like 0.78 kids because a lot of people are not even having kids, right? You need 2.1 to have a healthy replacement rate for your society. So it's almost like closer to like a third of where it needs to be. No. So this is definitely an issue, guys. We've kind of touched on this before, but this is kind of the first time that a celebrity or influencer themselves has pointed out such a problem.  Also, his fan base is probably pretty nerdy. Yeah. And also, this is a pan East Asian problem right now, Andrew, birth rates that are below 2.1. But South Korea actually has the lowest birth rate in recorded world history. You know, this is really interesting right off the bat is because I thought South Koreans like loved each other. I thought they were so proud of being South Korean. And I'm sure they are. They're very nationalistic, generally known to be. But then they, I guess they don't want to have kids and having kids. There's so many issues with having kids in the city, especially, but we're going to get into it. Oh, Andrew, there are so many issues, but Chung-Sung Jim thinks it's Instagram.  Now everybody's talking about omakase, Insta, Gulf. It was all unimaginable. We were all poor back then. We were all poor, but Koreans gave birth to a lot of babies. But now we're all living well, right? We all got good lifestyles. How come we're not giving birth? Yeah. He continued to say all the days were better before Instagram. So basically he was blaming it on Instagram. Everybody's showing perfect lives there and everybody else feeling like their life is inadequate. But actually everybody is faking it for everybody else. So it's this whole cyclical thing where everybody's faking a perfect life, making other people feel insecure and making them not want to have kids because they're like, well, if I can't have that life for my kids, why even have kids at all? Let's get into the comment section because I think there's a lot to unpack here. Somebody said all places with low birth rates seem to have people crammed together in high density working long hours. Solutions, spread people out, work fewer hours, make single family homes affordable, and the birth rate will rise dramatically. And somebody said, thank you, Captain Obvious. Do you know how difficult it is to reverse those trends? Yeah, I think what he means by Instagram is ruining society.  Well, your life of the both the parents will probably have to rotate around the kids. Yeah, unless you're hyper rich, essentially having two kids, it's like, bro, you gotta really start sacrificing things. So, Andrew, as much as some people in South Korea agreed with Chung-Sung Jae, some people really went against him as well, saying he himself is like 46 years old, not married, no kids, so who is he to judge? What if he's like, yeah, I know. It's because I like math. Now I'm trying to have a baby with math. None of the girls, they like the K-pop guys and the K-drama guys, they don't want the mathematician. Why don't they love K-math? Somebody said they have low birth rates because they don't want to have kids. Do you need any more of a reason than that? If you don't have kids yourself, why are you complaining so much?  He kind of looks like Thanos or Hulk and not in the good way. Dang, yeah, man. There's a harsh comment. Geez, calm down. Well, the reason why some people were attacking Chung-Sung Jae Andrew is because they felt like possibly, and by the way, obviously, I don't speak Korean, so it's very difficult for me to catch the nuance. I can just read the articles and the comments, guys, that maybe he was blaming women because women typically are more than ones possibly caught up into lifestyle inflation or wanting to live the life that they see on Instagram or at least that's a stereotype. Wait, you're telling me that a 46-year-old single straight man is going on a rant and it's kind of directed towards women? I'm shocked, David. I am so shocked. Oh, my goodness. So somebody said, why blame women for wanting the Instagram life? Why not make it more comfortable for women to give birth, maternity leave, help with diapers, rent for families? Korea is such an expensive place to live and I'm sure that all those things also hold true for a lot of East Asian countries, obviously like Tokyo, Shanghai, et cetera. Yeah, I do think and I will, I don't know if he said this in a rant because I don't speak Korean, so anybody who speaks Korean, let me know if he said this. But I think social media is making people selfish and the more selfish you are, the less likely you are to have kids because kids is one thing you have to start thinking about and you almost have to put them over your own wants. So like your own comforts are going to come second to taking care of the kids. Right, that's why a lot of parents, they're not necessarily on the coolest fashion and the newest trends. Exactly. Because they just do not care, right? If you want to be super hyper popular on social media and you want to go out and travel all the time and look cool, it is very hard to have kids. So here's some more critical comments. Somebody said, he just sounds like a conservative pastor at one of those cash cow mega churches that is kind of like fake and just designed to get cash flow in the Korean community. I don't like it. Like I don't like how Chung-Sung Jae is sounding. And then somebody else said, yeah, but this pastor is right. It is Instagram mixed. But the truth is, there is also some of the Korean inferiority complex because like they just never think we are good enough so we're always like trying to be better, but it's also fueled by us not feeling good enough. Oh, so by the pursuit of always trying to get better, that means you will never have time to have a kid. Yeah. I guess it's true that, you know, I think various Asian nations have a desire to get better at everything. Like I noticed that, for example, Andrew Chinese people, they do want to do good with money and school in their career, but it is true that Chinese people care generally. I mean, I think it's changing with the newer generation. They don't care about looks as much. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what it is? It's true that people, one thing that a lot of people don't take enough pride in is being a good parent because I think a lot of people are striving to be great themselves as individuals, but it is true if the father and mother both are striving as hard as possible as they can. You mean to be the prettiest, to have the best career, to be the coolest lawyer, the coolest businessman. Yeah, and they have no time to literally have a kid. Right. But you can still value being a good parent. That is so something that should be rewarded, but there has to be a reward system for that. Somebody said, I'm a Korean woman and I'm sick of the constant cooking and cleaning in a traditional household. Like if you knew all the responsibilities and oftentimes the oldest brother-in-law has to live with the parents, so literally not only does the woman have to cook and clean all day, but she has to deal with the criticism from her mother-in-law. It's just such a bad deal. Why would they want to subject themselves to that? So this is a criticism of a lot of just like, I would say Asian societies in general, right? But you know, to varying levels, maybe some societies have this more intensely than others. Somebody said, no, it's actually all about bringing kids into a society that seems very violent and volatile nowadays in 2023. Oh. Is that interesting? I mean... Is Korean society violent? I don't know. Let me know in the comments down below. I never... Certainly possibly America is though. Or Western society. I think America is violent. I didn't know South Korea was.  They see that the world is headed towards overpopulation. So they're just slowing it down on a global level. And somebody said, no, they're selfish. In expensive countries, people want comfortable lives and they don't really care about macro population replacement statistics. They don't even care about what the industry machinery needs in 20 years. They just want to live the best lives for themselves. Andrew, is that true? That in expensive countries, it just doesn't make sense to have more than one kid? No. I think in a lot of expensive countries, people are pursuing dopamine and quick release dopamine. But that quick release dopamine is not having kids. Dude, trust me. Kids is just... Even like, to be honest, getting married, I heard is still... It's a struggle. You have to work at staying married and being happy and communicating all the time. And if that doesn't bring you immediate dopamine, then nowadays, people don't want to chase it. And possibly that's why so many marriages statistically fail within a seven-year span. Somebody said, oh, you mean the people are selfish? What about the governments and companies are selfish for them wanting to have everybody to have more kids just so they can save their industries? Because they were saying that the governments want to stay a powerful country so they need 2.1 and the industries need workers so they want everybody to have 2.1 but they don't necessarily care if those families are happy, either. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I guess that's just part of being in a country. I don't know. Somebody said poor countries have way too many kids, then they have miserable lives, and then they have more kids. But someone said, but poor countries are sometimes really happy because they have a different lifestyle and expectations. And someone says, but if they're poor and they're happy, how can the country improve and get its economics and standard of living up because they've already adjusted their expectations to meet where they're at? I don't know, everybody. You let me know in the comments down below if you have an answer for any of those questions. All right, Andrew. What is your opinion? Like I said, we don't bat a thousand, especially this article was difficult to translate because the original video was in Korean, Andrew. What do you think about what Chung Sung Jae said?  Is he wrong, though? But just to blame it, I think on social media, definitely take some blame. He blamed it on Omakase. But even before social media, this trend started to happen. Okay. I'm saying even 10 years ago, 11, 12 years ago, before Instagram was popular, was it Facebook? I don't know. No one was really trying to be an influencer on Facebook. What? My space? Not really. So I guess what I'm saying is that this seems like a natural progression. What you have to do is promote a family unit, okay? And you have to make it easier and more inspiring and more encouraging for young families to have kids. And if people have to move outside of the city because everybody wants to live that city life as long as possible, but if you have to move out, you have to make the suburbs better and you have to somehow help out families that want to raise kids. Do you think that this trend was like 20, 30, 40 years in the making because kind of shows like married with children? And obviously, this is in America. This wasn't in Korea. It didn't seem like making up, having a family was going to be tight. Yeah.   There is a lot of anti-marriage content. It's not that that's not true about marriages that it's hard.  You wake up in the morning. Sometimes you want to divorce. But I guess the whole point is that you're united around something larger, whether it's building a family or the church, whatever church it is. I guess that's the reason. So I don't know. I mean, I think clearly what he said was partially true, but it seems ridiculous to only blame it on omakase. You know what it is? That was more like a symptom than the actual poor systemic issue. He's the omakase. He's the omakase. No, and you know that Chung-Sung Jae had to take some chicks out on dates to omakase on the first date, you know? Because that's the thing right now. The Korean barbecue and omakase. But I think like I guess a lot of people feel like that this is an issue and a lot of people feel like that there truly is like a movement away from like families or traditional family structures. But nobody knows what to do about it. Nobody knows what to do. So I don't know. You let me know in the comments now. Are we doomed? Is there a mass? Is there a fixing it or a society just going to end in 300 years anyway guys? I think there's some legitimate arguments on all sides. Let us know what you think in the comment section below. Keep it civil. Until next time, we're the Hop Hop Boys. We out. Peace.


The neutral vowel sound appears in all kinds of words, but one commonplace you will find it is in words spelled with the letter O. The letter O is difficult for English learners because it can be pronounced many different ways.


Hello everybody, welcome to the Ed Hoddle show for week number four as the Mustangs return home before the bi-week taking on the pride of Wagner University. I'm James Wagner. Is this an AD for Athletic Communication? Join always by Ed Hoddle, head football coach talking about last week's win over FDU Florham up in the Garden State 24-21. Coach, congratulations and your thoughts on the win. Thanks. You know, anytime you can go on the road and get a win in our league, you know, we'll take it. You know, I think as you look back at the history of the two schools, the matchups, you know, we've never lost. And I think that we carried a little bit of that arrogance with us on Saturday. And we've got to get over ourselves a little bit when it comes to those kinds of things. That football program is definitely on the rise. They've gotten better. And, you know, we've got to do everything we can to respect our opponents and bring our best game every Saturday. And it seemed like offensively you were out with Marquez wasn't playing and you've had some, you know, key players on both sides of the ball missing.  Can you talk about that? Sure.  You know, he's kind of been our third guy. There was a point during the preseason where he was, you know, kind of edging toward being that second guy, but then had a little bit of a setback, you know, injury wise. And just great to see him kind of, you know, take on that responsibility of being that guy on Saturday. And, you know, you certainly can't look at a running backs performance without at least talking about those five guys up front. Those guys did a phenomenal job all day, keeping Nyer clean, opening up holes for Louis. And that, you know, they had an exceptional afternoon. So we're certainly excited about the direction the offensive line is going as well.  Just talk about the play, your defensive unit in the second half. Yeah, you know, those guys, you know, it's a work in progress. You know, the change of scheme has been, you know, it's been fun to watch. Just put us in positions to make some plays. I think there were still even some plays on the table, but, you know, having that opportunity to end that game that way, you know, hopefully will help us build some confidence for the weeks to come. And now coming into the game against Weidner, obviously one, we're back at home.  Talk about what can we expect out of the pride?  And I found a, I think it was an Eddie White Shoes Johnson, you know, into the Hall of Fame, their video into the football Hall of Fame video.  You know, it's so always a great match up with those guys, you know, whether it's here, whether it's there. It seems like every time they come here, it rains. It seems like every time we go there, it's sunny and beautiful. But it, you know, it's become one of my favorite matchups throughout the season. Coach Brandt has done a great job with that program.  You know, we strive to play a physical brand of football and it's, you know, we're not an old school Mac team. But I'd like to think from, you know, that we would have fit right in in the 80s and 90s of, you know, those those that style of football. So I look forward to the matchup every excited about Saturday for sure. So talk about the team after this game. You basically hit the midway point. You have the biweek before you begin the last, you know, the max schedule way through, you know, what's your assessment of the team now at coming into basically what is the halfway point? I think we've yet to play our best football. I think we've still, you know, I think the sky is the limit as far as, you know, what we can do. You know, I think we have failed to play truly complimentary football where all three five, all three phases are firing simultaneously at a very, very high level.  And of course, it's a little bit disappointing not to be there yet. But it also is exciting because you can clean some things up on the biweek. You can get some guys healthy on the biweek. You can reexamine some of the things and it isn't necessarily just personnel stuff. Some of it may be scheme stuff that we as coaches need to evaluate. So you get the time to kind of comb through the first half ish of the season and really strive to to be fired on all cylinders in the second half of the year. Well, coach, good luck in today's matchup. Thank you. Again, that's the head hodl with the head hodl show is the Mustangs take on the pride of Widener. It's blackout day.   We'll talk to you in a couple of weeks as we've got the biweeks for we head to Alvernia. Thanks for watching and go Stanks.
