00:00uh brandon iuk you're i mean you know the obligatory i mean there's so much more material
00:06uh i think you you wrote that we got the extended director's cut on saturday that three minute piece
00:13uh where uh john lynch apparently was going to um stalk him and perhaps home invade and we also had
00:20uh the text to his wife from his agent who he actually did according to reports actually did
00:27actually fire on saturday officially um go ahead brandon iuk been talking about him for an hour
00:34your turn well so i mean in terms of the fire of the agent now because he keeps posting things
00:42and
00:42i'm not you know staying on top of it every minute i checked in with somebody at the nflpa and
00:48as of
00:48like the first time he said that he had fired the guy and filed the paperwork i was told that's
00:52not
00:52accurate that he had not done anything that's why he's the agent still shows up as his you know
00:58as his agent now he may have said to him you know we're done but in terms of just the
01:02the legal process
01:04that had not been done that could have happened since sure i mean this thing is you know who knows
01:09what exactly is going going on there but uh you know he also he posted something on his instagram
01:16like sort of like a a shout out to the nflpa kind of like hey you know i'm sure there's
01:21some decent
01:21people over there but some of you were you know screwing me on you know and sort of siding with
01:25the with the with the team and this that and the other and you know i the impression that i
01:30get is
01:32just like everything else he's been saying it's not accurate or not there's more to it than he's
01:37letting on or whatever so until obviously that gets resolved you know plus he needs to um
01:43you'll get reinstated by the league yeah but yeah so like
01:49i you know i i was i was talking about it on my podcast yesterday and you know like you
01:54kind of
01:54well maybe not like you and i'm like lamenting but having to keep doing this i'm like can you imagine
01:57that the niners don't want to open up camp for a month so even if he wants to show up
02:02day one first
02:03minute everybody's open we have to wait this long he's putting up like you know i there there are people
02:09who are legit social media influencers are plus left than he does and uh so if this keeps gobbling
02:14i don't know how i'm going to survive uh but you know until it's just the fact that he keeps
02:20mentioning
02:21the commanders by the way did you see uh the tj hushman tj hushman yeah i played it earlier yeah
02:26yeah i mean i thought yeah and this is a guy who like his you know i don't know friends
02:31is the right
02:31word but most people close to the situation are closer to the situation he's got very little support
02:36which is another tell on this you know whether it's the dante witness or the george kiddles i mean
02:43kiddle basically very sarcastically said yeah go ahead see how it works out for you um and hushman
02:49zada said something similar in march but went much harder this time yeah much harder basically telling
02:55adam peters he's crazy yeah said he should be fired if he signs him yeah and you know that that's
03:01that's
03:02that's the part of this i mean all you know you can tell me again you know the the good
03:07receiver
03:08and and all that but like what is to prevent him from doing to the commanders what he is doing
03:13here
03:13if you know if there's a game where you know he if they start the season against philly and dallas
03:19and he gets you know if he's here and gets you know four targets just for you know that happens
03:24sometimes and then you know he's like what the hell and he's you know going to his buddy the
03:29quarterback and where he's you know popping off on social media again maybe he doesn't do any of
03:34these things but that's the point you don't know the the wild card element is just way way strong
03:40for an unknown on the field and um you know again say whatever you want about some of these other
03:46diva
03:46quarterbacks that we've our diva receivers we've seen over the years you know this is like sort of a
03:51different level in part because those people had agents and they had people advising them to basically
03:57shut the hell up or you know just let me handle the business aspect here he's popping off but
04:03there's no sense that there's anything happening behind the scenes to resolve this i mean well yeah
04:11he put up in one of those videos and again it's hard to tell at some point with him like
04:15what's real
04:15and what's just trolling but he said something like hey by the way i heard i have a warrant is
04:20that true
04:21i i that is uh him being a troll or silly but at the same point i don't know i
04:28don't know who's
04:29talking to him i don't know what he thinks or knows you know it doesn't he doesn't have an agent
04:33no way he he didn't know that there was a a warrant out for his arrest and you know he's
04:38ducking cali by
04:39the way the the the interesting piece of information in that piece of sound was he indicated that he was
04:44going to be involved in throwing with jayden daniels out in cali in california oh i missed that if that
04:52if he uh if he said that one max max uh well here i can give you the uh i
04:57can give you the uh the
04:58quote he basically said oh shoot i think i just closed it out um all right but like yeah on
05:06a real
05:06serious note though can anybody tell me if i really have a warrant out for my arrest in california
05:14because my bro said he trying to throw in cali
05:18but if i got a warrant bro i don't have to stay out here
05:23my bro says he's going to throw in cali he's referring to jayden daniels there i'm almost positive
05:29um but obviously we know that jayden daniels is going to do that and you know that's my my attempt
05:35to
05:35right i mentioned it yeah ask about that um you know again like it's
05:45you know like people ask me as i'm sure they do you you know about the industry getting into it
05:49what's the key this that and the other and everybody looks looks for the magic bullet like
05:53how do i get from a to b quickly and all that and my best answer is typically you know
05:58what you need
05:59to show up and you need to be reliable everything else will come into play if you're actually talented
06:03enough people will see it and if you were reliable and stay with it you will outlast the people who
06:09bail but you got to be reliable or if you if you're not reliable you better be shakespeare right you
06:14better be frank the ford tom boswell what have you and that's why to me i'm like i can't i
06:20can't deal
06:20with this you can tell me that all the guys they have on the team right now are just not
06:23enough
06:24okay but i know they're going to be there and that counts for a lot because ultimately as we saw
06:29in
06:292024 you never know how it's all going to work out jaden daniels it's not like that group was all
06:33was was much different than this group and you know look what happened so being there being part of the
06:39team you know going through the the exercises you know being a commander all that that matters if you
06:46do it but if you're just not imagine if they signed him and they said he just fits what we're
06:51trying
06:51to do here this is a real commander um look what you just said it's great advice i've shared similar
06:58advice um you know for you young people show up be accountable go beyond the job description uh because
07:08you know absent of as you just said shakespearean talent um that's you know it's it's hard without at
07:15least being that i think you know for me it's like bottom line is this guy hasn't done what he
07:23could
07:23have done or he could be doing to actually get to where he says he wants to be so the
07:31lack of action
07:32and then the process in which he's undergone has been for any adult this is obviously immature it's
07:38unprofessional um and you know it's a reveal of a lot of things it's a reveal certainly a very
07:45hyper sensitivity um and i'm just out i i think the bigger question is not where we are because
07:52most people don't care and that's fine it's where do we think they are because i said earlier ben i
07:58do
07:58think that prior to let's just call it june 1st that it was more likely than not that the team
08:07was going
08:07to be very interested in brandon iuk when and if he became available now i'm
08:15there were clearly i mean you could only you could certainly i think land on second thoughts
08:23about where we were three weeks ago what do you think yeah i mean prior to june 1st like you
08:29said
08:29the miss it was more of a mystery how come we haven't heard from brandon iuk we would kill for
08:33a workout video does he really want to play football how is his knee all these types of things
08:39obviously there were even then still questioned about you know he's he pat you know he lost all
08:44that money didn't fight for it the driving um excessive speeding or by the 49er stadium and
08:51posting video of him doing it you know all these things kind of were like oh what are you doing
08:55dude
08:56but all right they at least sort of were like margin of error for wacky athletes um this is you
09:03know now
09:03going beyond it you know to the point you know if the goal is to get here or get somewhere
09:10it's just
09:11the way he's going about it just does not make any any sense i don't know how i mean i've
09:16seen you know
09:16some people try to defend it i'm like you gotta be kidding me like there's no there's no defense for
09:23any of this no i i the the i you see it your timeline i see it my timeline it's
09:30you know what
09:30light it's perspective everybody's perspective is different and your life experiences shape your
09:36perspective and for some they actually believe either a he's in the right or b he's a grand master
09:43strategist and for others their perspective is this is a child no i don't want him in a professional
09:51organization um all right football wise you wrote about leo chanel what does washington see in leo
09:59chanel in 2026 yeah you know when when we got the free agency and you know we're like okay the
10:06younger
10:06faster bit got it okay so what does that look like and you know went through some of the you
10:10know started
10:11looking through the names of different players and both sides of the ball and it wasn't so pretty like
10:15late in the process but i guess i took a longer look at leo chanel and when i see a
10:19guy
10:20you know for for a coordinator who's who's you know the line is you know it's not where you line
10:25up it's where you wind up to see a guy that played at least 50 snaps at four different linebacker
10:31spots
10:32plus a good chunk of snaps essentially as like an edge rusher on the line even like a hit one
10:38or two
10:38or three like i you know over the nose you know this guy screams versatility he's got you know he's
10:45he had one of the greatest uh combine performances ever for a linebacker i mean as you know he and
10:51sunny styles that would be a really fun uh uh decathlon watching them do all the all these athletic
10:59traits because they're both nuts um and you know he's more i think in like the louvoo style of linebacker
11:04where it's like this downhill see ball get ball type of type of mindset uh and you know again this
11:11the younger the faster all that i think he really epitomizes that and again what deronde jones wants
11:17to do so you know kansas city you know i talked to andy reed at the um owners meeting the
11:22league
11:22meeting and you know he said hey one of my favorite players great guy obviously they are in a situation
11:27of you know they just can't pay everybody uh and so that they had to move on but there's you
11:33know i've
11:33heard you know next to nothing negative here look i mean because he's incredibly muscular there's like a
11:40a rocket granite i don't think that i think that sort of hinders some of the agility and you know
11:44i've heard some you know positive things about his past coverage but i don't think that's like
11:48the strength better than what they had last year probably but not like you know this is the go-to
11:53guy i think that is more where sunny styles comes into play but you know again for for what this
11:58group
11:58is looking to do he really feels like the perfect linebacker for uh this you know lineup here there
12:06and everywhere and you know blitz be aggressive uh kind of approach all right i'll talk to you later
12:12thanks appreciate it as always of course at ben standing on x
