00:00cakes did you win money last night i did not i just you know it's the way 2026 is gone
00:07and he
00:07went to bed at uh 11 11 30 actually got five-ish hours of sleep which is solid for me
00:13at mgm
00:14national harbor okay but uh next month mike mar will be the special guest so we'll see maybe
00:18he's my good luck how was the turnout uh 62 entrance it's pretty good pretty good pretty
00:23solid so they just got to keep grinding jp that's the way it is 800-636-1067 is the number
00:30we're
00:30taking your calls on the latest brandon iuke antics he posted a video yesterday of him speeding around
00:38on a racetrack that was basically in response to an arrest warrant being issued for him by santa
00:46clara county seems to be taunting the police yeah or just haunting the prosecutors just the general
00:53public you know just trolling them instead of you know being apologetic it's like okay here's me
00:59speeding in a different venue not out on the roads i guess that's that's a slight step in the right
01:04direction he's not you know a menace to the public but still not a great look so where do you
01:10stand
01:10as a commanders fan currently on brandon iuke and would you welcome him here if the team
01:16you know made a play for him 800-636-1067 is the number let's go to derek calling from greenbelt
01:23derek you're on with the junks good morning guys derek what's up hey man uh great show man i just
01:31want
01:31to say um i am in favor of bringing brandon iuke to the team i think that uh a new
01:35a new venue a new uh
01:37a new area would do great for him uh being friends with jayton he's probably friends with
01:44other people in the nfl so i mean other players so you know that's not a um it wouldn't be
01:49an issue
01:49you know welcome to the team i do think that it may say something to the other guys we have
01:54drafted
01:55that's been working hard in otas trying to get a spot that may that may cause a little friction
01:59but uh but to whoever i'm not sure i can't uh you know distinguish you guys voices but whoever just
02:05said that he's taunting the police why isn't he calling the 49ers he could be taunting the 49ers
02:11as well here's my question though i think he is if he's not if he's not communicating with him
02:17about this friendship that everybody has he may be close friends with jayton have we seen them
02:22picture together have we seen them together not recently in the last year i mean if i were i mean
02:28i
02:28haven't but i don't pay attention to social media i'm staying as far away from brandon iuke as possible
02:34i don't want to be involved with him and i don't want to be in his orbit at this point
02:39well didn't
02:40jayden say at the first day of otas or something when he was asked about yeah brandon like he did
02:46make a comment he said he said we're friends but you know this is a football like it's football
02:49decision yeah he's like i can't i can't i don't have any sort of influence over his like him coming
02:54here or his football he didn't he didn't say to the media hey you know it'd be great to have
03:00brandon here and working with him and throwing passes to him he certainly didn't advocate for
03:05bringing him here at least publicly put some distance yeah well that kind of does would you
03:10want to associate yourself right now with brandon iuke with his public persona the way that he's
03:16the way that he's presenting himself public persona not great i don't know him he might be
03:21a fantastic person who made one mistake with the december incident driving 100 miles an hour
03:28i don't kill him for the track deal other than he's probably trolling whether he's trolling the
03:33niners the police the prosecutors all right let's go back to the phone let's go to tim
03:38in la plata tim you're on with the junks good morning hey good morning guys hey i wouldn't
03:44touch this guy to tell football i'm sorry i just wouldn't it's not to me it's not worth
03:50the risk and i know there are guys that can go to a different team different atmosphere and
03:55resurrect their careers i just wouldn't want to you know take the chance with this guy i mean
04:02why take the chance well they really don't have to it's like he's not going to make or break our
04:07season no you know what i mean it's like and he could be a canter in a locker room we
04:11don't know
04:12that and i heard yesterday jayden daniels say that he was his brother you know that you know he's my
04:19brother you know not my friend you know so you know i think jayden needs to be thinking more about
04:25the team they haven't played together they haven't played together in seven years thanks tim well who
04:31knows what's being talked about behind closed doors i mean they could have talked to jayden about him
04:35and jayden said yeah it's it's best that he stays away from ashburn right we don't know we have no
04:42idea
04:42what they're talking about or adam peters could have said bro i'm not rolling dice on brandon yeah i mean
04:48it's a critical year i'd be surprised if they're still waiting to see if the niners are going to
04:53release them so they can sign up to a short one-year cheap deal i'd be surprised by that but
04:58who knows
04:59the last time brandon and i caught a touchdown in the nfl was 2023 so 2024 he plays in seven
05:08games
05:08and gets hurt had zero touchdown catches 2025 didn't play at all yep i'm just not dying to get a
05:16guy
05:17back with that much inactivity and all this stuff swirling yeah i don't understand the obsession
05:22with brandon iuke other than the fact that he's allegedly tight with jayden and people just feel
05:28like they're going to go back to their arizona state days it's what valde said no i i i'm going
05:33to
05:33explain it i'm going to explain it as simply as i can is that everyone everyone wants to treat jayden
05:39with with kid gloves and they want him to be as happy as possible and they feel like if you
05:45bring
05:45his his former teammate and friend and brother to the team it will make jayden happy and the happier
05:52you make jayden the better he'll play the more likely he'll sign an extension with the team they
05:58want everything as as as 72 and sunny for jayden as possible that's that's kind of the underlying
06:06thing for the for the iuke stance right is that they're jayden stance and that they they want everything
06:13perfect for jayden yeah well jayden doesn't run the team i know that's that's there's a there's
06:18there's so he shouldn't be making decisions on guys off the streets to play with him right since
06:25he played with him six years ago but it's adam peter's connection to the manager had him in san
06:30francisco there i understand the connections i just don't think that anything should be um
06:37you know any player should be signed because the quarterback really likes him when he was asked
06:41about it as we've mentioned here's the exact quote i don't have a sense on it that is my brother
06:47we
06:48have a personal relationship but his football future is out of my control yeah correct i think that's a
06:53good answer all right let's go back to the phones faraz in landover ras you're on with the junks good
06:59morning good morning guys um i don't think there's a universe in which his on-field production warrants
07:06any off-field risk that he's presenting but i will say this i would do that for somebody i would
07:11pick up somebody with his off-field personality if the football was there right like not the same
07:17person but like you know when davante adam was available i'd do that in a heartbeat um one other
07:21perspective i'm a racing instructor locally we have like benjamin st juice and jamin davis come out to
07:26our events um the track thing that is the best thing for him to do honestly um you know i
07:33was a kid
07:33once too we all had that invincibility feel once i started racing on track like i drive like a
07:39grandmom public roads man a car is nothing more than it's cool until you get on the straight track
07:44so like if that's where he's ending up and that's where he's doing his taunting like i think that's
07:48progress but yeah that's all i got thank you guys all right thanks for us yeah to me the biggest
07:52factor
07:53when i consider whether i would want brandon iuk back is is he playing right he hasn't played in a
08:01long time he's gonna be his activity to me is the biggest factor and that's where again watching
08:08him work out with quarterbacks and players would maybe change my mind be like okay he hasn't been
08:13on an nfl field something happened in san francisco they had a falling out and the organization gave up
08:19on whether it was kyle shanahan or john lynch but he's he's he's out there on the field and this
08:26connection with jay daniels if i saw when jayden was out in california and he's throwing balls to
08:32deami brown which jason watched the video and fell in love with deami brown if brandon iuk was out
08:39there go okay he's out there with the guys that would have been different yeah all right let's go
08:44different devin calling from rockville hey devin good morning good morning good morning good morning
08:50fellas um taught me crazy i was the reason why i feel like people are still enamored about brandon
08:59iuk is it's the things that you guys are saying but it's also that wide receiver home we are we're
09:06sitting here hyping up a traylon birch that doesn't stay healthy a deami brown that we didn't sign back
09:14for 10 million dollars and he went to jacksonville for one year and we brought him back for eight
09:18million dollars and jefferson does uh who's like so it's like yeah you know what i'm saying so the
09:26admiration for anybody like brandon iuk is just taking us back to when he was on the field if we
09:33can have that production and it just kills me that when we make speculations because we do not know
09:40the other side and that other side is brandon iuk's side because he's been pretty quiet on his whole
09:45situation and he's only been doing subliminal subliminal things by what like only befriending
09:53i'm i follow brandon iuk he wasn't always just only following three people so maybe he's not posting
10:00videos and everything so that all right devin you're breaking up on us thank you for the call
10:05i'm seeing at this point if you had to line up the options and we've talked about these yeah
10:11on infinitum stefan diggs debo samuel keenan allen throw in brandon iuk yeah he's fourth on my list yeah
10:19he would he would be fourth on my list he would be a 500th on the list because i'd have
10:26those other
10:26three guys and then i'd have every other journeyman wide out and then i'd have brandon iuk all the way
10:31at the bottom i mean common sense no interest in it common sense says that they're looking for one of
10:35these veterans to pair with mclaurin yeah because they've got these unproven guys behind them
10:40especially the young guys but they may feel fine yep in that room yeah absolutely and that's what
10:46david blau said now i don't know if you can really take him at face value i know i know
10:50he liked the
10:51group that they have but there is a chance yeah especially since they added chig at tight end and
10:56we talked about him yesterday matt was talking about he could be seen as another receiver because
11:01of his speed and his athleticism yep the only little nugget i would add in favor of brandon iuk is
11:08he's he's undeniably a talent he was a first round pick and he has produced and he produced in san
11:14francisco when adam peters was the assistant general manager and when he was healthy is a huge
11:20he produced when he was healthy so that he does have in his favor and he's not as old as
11:25some of those
11:26guys right
11:26right
