Jayden Daniels and Brandon Aiyuk go way back, but their relationship seems a little complicated - especially after Aiyuk's most recent social posts. Do these two have legit beef?

00:00The Brandon Ayuk saga continues.
00:02Every day he's going to put out something, right?
00:04Seems like it.
00:04He says he's still going to be on his social media BS.
00:09He's still going to do that.
00:11I know there are a lot of people that call us boomers
00:14that we are misinterpreting what he says.
00:16I saw on social media yesterday that some people were saying,
00:19thank God for Valdez.
00:20He told you what's going on.
00:21I don't know if Valdez's interpretation was correct.
00:25I think Valdez's interpretation was generally correct.
00:29Okay, boomer.
00:30I think Valdez's interpretation was generally correct.
00:33The only qualm I have, and it's not even with Valdez,
00:35is that are you completely bungled whatever he was trying to say
00:41about hiding behind your mother, but that would be okay or something.
00:45I don't even think you know.
00:47He's a donk on the reinstatement thing.
00:49He needs to be reinstated at some point if he wants to come here.
00:52Yeah.
00:53He's being weird.
00:54I will say this.
00:55I know that there are certain media members.
00:58Chris Russell comes to mind.
01:00I think our buddy GP comes to mind.
01:02They basically think he's the devil.
01:05They hate this guy.
01:06I don't have any animosity towards him at all.
01:09I'm humored by it.
01:10I don't care.
01:12I actually don't care whatever.
01:14But I'm certainly not angered by him.
01:16It just doesn't anger me.
01:18I watch it from afar.
01:19I mean, am I excited to talk about it every single day?
01:22No, of course not.
01:22But I don't have hostility towards a guy.
01:26In fact, I feel sorry for him.
01:27I actually feel sorry for him.
01:28Well, you said yesterday your team.
01:29Are you?
01:30I'm going to, as long as everyone's against him, I'm going to be on his side.
01:33I can't be on, I can't be on this.
01:36I can't be a sane person.
01:37Seems like everyone in the media is against him.
01:39Seems like everyone's against him.
01:40So I'm going to wave the flag for him.
01:41I mean, fans, different stories.
01:43We've taken calls on it before, and there are some fans that do like him.
01:45I want to see him here.
01:47He's weird.
01:47I think he's making bad choices.
01:50Terrible choices.
01:51Yeah, I think that he needs guidance.
01:54All those things.
01:54But I'm not angry at him.
01:56I'm with you.
01:57I mostly agree with you.
01:59There's part of me that feels bad for him.
02:01There's part of me that's like, this guy's nuking his career.
02:04He seems to be nuking his career.
02:06He's blowing tens of millions of dollars, potentially.
02:08And by the way, the Niners, he thinks he's set.
02:11Wait until they go in there and they dip their arm into his bank account and take $10 million back.
02:14Also, I think he's stupid to be pot committed to the commanders.
02:18He's so pot committed.
02:20He's saying raise hail and go commanders and all these things.
02:23But then also then to take the shot to Jake.
02:25Like, he's an ill-thought-out person.
02:29No doubt about it.
02:30But I think I've been consistent with this since day one.
02:34I just don't know if he's going to be any good for them.
02:36I don't know that either.
02:38No one knows.
02:38I don't know that either.
02:39I think so many people are so excited on the thought of Brandon Ayuk.
02:43And I just go, guy hasn't caught a touchdown since 2023.
02:47I think the excitement level on the whole has waned significantly.
02:50No doubt about it.
02:51But I'm going back to when we first started talking about it.
02:54I feel like we even were talking about this during the season last year.
02:58Well, they're just looking at the numbers from when he was healthy and going, this guy could really help us.
03:02But he might not be that player anymore.
03:04I think it's almost like a mythological thing that fans are like, oh, he was.
03:10They didn't watch him at Arizona State.
03:12But they're like, oh, he was Jayden's boy at Arizona State.
03:15And they know he was a pro bowler at one point.
03:18And it's like they've created this construct in their head that he's going to come here.
03:22And he's going to be Jayden's guy.
03:24He's going to have all these touchdowns.
03:26And I would predict if he was here in week one.
03:30Yeah, which is a long shot.
03:33But if he was here in week one, I would predict his numbers won't even equal Debo Samuels from last
03:38season.
03:38I would go a step further.
03:39I'd predict he'd be inactive.
03:41Because I just don't know how you can get him up to game speed.
03:43Guys have been on a football field in 18 months.
03:45Right, right.
03:46I would predict he'd be inactive.
03:47Right.
03:48I'm making like a.
03:49I'd put all my money on it.
03:49I'm making a like if he was in training camp and he played the whole preseason and all that stuff.
03:55I don't know that his numbers are going to equal Debo Samuels.
03:57But people have this great.
03:59Oh, I'd bet everything that they would.
04:00They wouldn't equal Debo.
04:02They have this great fantasy that he's going to come in here and be, you know, Justin Jefferson.
04:06Yeah, they do.
04:07So he's Brandon Ayuk who hasn't played in a couple years.
04:10Played the latest.
04:11As far as I know.
04:13Well, there's three.
04:14There was three yesterday?
04:15Yesterday there was three.
04:16One.
04:16Give them to me.
04:17One at a time.
04:17Well, one was no audio.
04:20It was him sitting in like.
04:22I think I saw that.
04:23In like the living room.
04:24Making faces?
04:25No, no, no.
04:26Well, it was just sitting in the living room with the location of Virginia.
04:30Oh, I saw that.
04:30Yeah, yeah.
04:31But Jason pointed out that the dot was right near LeRae.
04:34There's no chance he's in Virginia.
04:36Would he be in LeRae?
04:37He's not hanging out in LeRae caverns.
04:41I mean, please.
04:42I mean, if you think he's hanging out in Virginia, you're crazy.
04:44He likes stalag pipes.
04:46Is that what they're called?
04:48Mites.
04:48Stalag mites.
04:49Whatever it is.
04:49Is it possible that he's in Virginia?
04:51He doesn't even know where he is.
04:52And he just hit Virginia.
04:54Dude, you can hit anything on location.
04:56I know you can.
04:57I've done it.
04:58So there's that one.
05:00And then there's the one that you mentioned, Eric, where he said that he's going to continue
05:04doing social media.
05:06I'm still going to be on my social media BS or whatever.
05:08You want to play it?
05:09BA and his social media antics.
05:13Well, I got to get paid somehow.
05:18Because the employer holding me captive without pay.
05:22At least social media paying.
05:24I'll tell y'all what.
05:27I get a job back in the NFL, man.
05:31I'm still going to be on my bull**** on social media.
05:34So is he making money on TikTok, Instagram?
05:37I didn't see it.
05:37But in that particular video, there's some kids in the background.
05:41Where does it look like he is?
05:43He's outside of a house.
05:45A very large house.
05:46Is the kid his kid?
05:48No, I think they're just like kids outside playing.
05:50Can you just go to his...
05:51Is it on his IG?
05:52Can you go and look?
05:52No, I can't.
05:53I can't go on the Instagram.
05:55Because you don't have an account?
05:56Yeah.
05:56He's just...
05:57He's outside in his backyard.
05:58It might be some neighbor's kids or there might be a park nearby.
06:01But they're in the distance.
06:02Well, that's what I'm saying.
06:03So if he's in Virginia, someone's going to see him and say,
06:05I saw him in Virginia.
06:06I have a couple points I want to make about this.
06:08I need you to play it one more time.
06:09I need you to play it one more time.
06:12Because I have two points on him.
06:15BA and his social media antics.
06:19Well, I got to get paid somehow.
06:23Because the employer holding me captive without pay.
06:27At least social media paying.
06:30I'll tell y'all what.
06:33I get a job back in the NFL, man.
06:36I'm still going to be on my bull**** on social media.
06:39All right.
06:39So here's my two points.
06:40One, maybe there is a method to his madness.
06:45He's not an idiot.
06:47He sees if you have a ton of followers on social media and you get a buzz going,
06:52you can make money.
06:54He's not stupid.
06:56That's all we talk about.
06:57The world seems to be based upon how big is your social media following so you can charge
07:01a poly market for something.
07:03That's a good point.
07:04All right.
07:04So maybe he's a little bit more calculated than what people think.
07:08It doesn't help him for the NFL standpoint.
07:11Like he's saying, well, if they're not going to pay me somebody, at least social media.
07:15So, hey, I actually think that's a valid point.
07:18I wouldn't post the way he posts.
07:20I wouldn't post the content he posts.
07:21You wouldn't say the things he says.
07:22I wouldn't say the things he posts, right?
07:24I wouldn't advise him to go about this route.
07:27But in his brain, you know what?
07:29That part of the brain resonates with me.
07:32It would be better if he was posting videos of him catching balls, running, looking great.
07:37There's a way to get social media attention in a more positive way that makes him look
07:41a little more favorable than look like some sort of weirdo, which I still maintain he
07:45is a weirdo.
07:46This is, by the way, he's wearing burgundy again.
07:50So that is calculated.
07:51Can I get the other point?
07:52Yep.
07:53It's interesting after this so-called rift potentially with Jaden, and that's in the
07:58third post as well as the post from yesterday.
08:01He says, if I do get back in the NFL, generic doesn't say with commanders.
08:07So is that him kind of backing off now?
08:10Maybe.
08:11That was interesting.
08:13This is a question.
08:14The audio that you played, is that the one where he tagged?
08:18This is a very social media inside thing, but is that the one where he tagged Jaden Daniels?
08:25No, no, no, no, no, no.
08:26Okay.
08:26That's the one that we're going to play.
08:28That's the next one where Jaden doesn't answer his phone.
08:30Just want to clarify it.
08:32So in this next one, he tagged Jaden Daniels so that Jaden would see it for sure, and
08:38he's making a point.
08:40Yeah.
08:40He said, I don't do that internet s***, bro.
08:43Hit my phone if you got to talk to me, bro.
08:45He got my number.
08:46And I called, s***.
08:47He don't answer.
08:48Hit my phone, bro.
08:50It's important.
08:52It's the money on the line.
08:54All right.
08:55So that's Insight.
08:56And he chose that song.
08:57That's Insight.
08:58By the way, calculated it.
08:59If that's true.
08:59I believe all of that.
09:00J.D.'s not answering.
09:02What's that tell you?
09:03Like I say, he loves him.
09:04He's a brother, but he's paying the ass.
09:06Right.
09:06Exactly.
09:07Calculated EB's got the song in the background.
09:09I don't know what song was it.
09:10I don't know the song, but it was all about making money.
09:12Mike Barr, what's the song?
09:13It's Future.
09:15It's a future song.
09:16F up some commas.
09:18Okay.
09:18But it's about making money.
09:19Right.
09:20It sounded like you're saying like 100 to 100,000, whatever the heck he's saying.
09:24I saw that it was Future, but I thought you guys knew the lyrics.
09:27You guys don't know the lyrics?
09:28No.
09:29That's all right.
09:30We don't listen to it.
09:31All right.
09:31But hold on.
09:32I don't think the radio.
09:32Amaro was pretty impressed right there.
09:34He was impressed with it.
09:35You know it was Future?
09:36Yeah.
09:36But it said Future on the post.
09:39I didn't know it was Future from the sound.
09:42That's insight.
09:44I think it's safe to say that the idea that Jaden and Brandon Iyuk are in some big, they're
09:55in cahoots to troll people has been proven false.
09:59Okay.
10:00I think that is a potential narrative.
10:02It was an interesting thought.
10:03I never really believed that.
10:04I don't think most people believed it because Jaden's above that.
10:06Do you want the lyrics?
10:08Okay.
10:08Hold on.
10:09Hold on.
10:09I think Jaden's above that, so I never really thought that that was true, but some people
10:13put that out there.
10:14I think that puts to rest, okay, that they were in cahoots and they're trolling together.
10:19He's telling you, Jaden's saying, bro, I don't do that social media stuff.
10:25If you have a problem with me, hit me up.
10:28You have my number.
10:29And he's saying, obviously, okay, I called you.
10:32Don't pick up.
10:33Well, clearly, there's a little bit of a rift there.
10:35It may not be serious, but there's a little bit of a rift there.
10:38So if it's calculated, and he indeed picked this song, F up some commas.
10:44The part which I heard playing was about money, right?
10:48It's 40,000 to 100,000.
10:50100,000, another 100,000.
10:52300,000 to 500,000.
10:54What's wrong?
10:54What's JP doing?
10:55Why are you guys mocking him?
10:56What's wrong?
10:57Is he saying something wrong?
10:58No, it's just always so cringe when he reads it.
11:01He's reading rap lyrics for no reason.
11:04No, but this is the reason.
11:06This is the reason.
11:07Here's the beginning of the song.
11:09Fake N lie to a real N.
11:12Now that's some S that you don't do.
11:15So as you call him Jaden a fake.
11:16I'm going to stay real for my real N's.
11:18Now that's some S that I'm going to do.
11:21Do you have second hand embarrassment over there?
11:23He could be embarrassed.
11:24I really want to die.
11:25We got it.
11:26We got it.
11:27We got it.
11:27Please stop doing that.
11:28He's choosing that song for a reason, E.B.
11:30They're so embarrassed by your whiteness.
11:32How would you read it then?
11:34I guess I would.
11:34We would never.
11:35That's the boy.
11:36Well, the point is, Eric, I think E.B. is right.
11:39It's calculated, and he's sending a message with the song Choice.
11:44Listen, I'm not good at many things.
11:46I've always maintained elite people reader.
11:48Elite.
11:50There's a rift.
11:51There's a little bit of a rift here.
11:54He crossed the threshold when he started taking shots at Jaden on social media.
11:59He crossed the red line.
12:00And by the way, Jaden's playing it perfectly.
12:02Jaden's playing it correctly.
12:03Not responding at all.
12:04Not responding and saying, hey, bro, text him.
12:06If you want to hit me up, just hit me up.
12:07Right.
12:08The counter.
12:09This is how a normal person would respond.
12:10The counter would be that that song is just a coincidence.
12:15Do you think that song is a coincidence that has a message like that?
12:18I do not think that that song is a coincidence.
12:20I think you are correct.
12:21I think he's calling Jaden Daniels fake.
12:26Yep.
12:28I think that's correct.
12:29Do I think Jaden Daniels is fake?
12:31I have no idea.
12:33But I think Brandon Ayuk is calling him fake.
12:37I don't know how you come back from that.
12:40I think it's pretty hard to come back from.
12:42You think the commander's going to sign Brandon Ayuk now?
12:45The only way I could see it is, again, this is what I said yesterday, where I do feel sympathy
12:54for him.
12:54I feel bad.
12:55He's blowing the bag.
12:57He's already got one bag.
12:58He could have got more bag.
12:58He's blowing the bag.
12:59Like I said, he's nuking his career.
13:02He's nuking his career.
13:03He's nuking generational wealth and all that.
13:05And who knows where he'll be in five years.
13:11There's only one way he can come back from this on a personal level.
13:14He'd have to, whatever team he lands on, because I don't think it's going to be the commanders,
13:19if he lands on another team, he's got to put up great numbers and be a soldier.
13:23Correct.
13:24He'd be a great teammate.
13:25I think if people think he has CTE or whatever, that's obviously terrible, whatever.
13:29You're not going to sign a guy you think has signs of CTE or anything.
13:33I think the way he could potentially maybe still come back here, maybe, if anybody had any interest,
13:40is that he's a known weirdo.
13:43The Herm Edwards story is true.
13:45That everybody knows he's a wild card.
13:47The Niners still took a chance on him, and he was pretty good until he wasn't.
13:51Until he got hurt.
13:51And that Adam Peters is not really phased.
13:54And even Jaden's not really that phased.
13:56He just doesn't want to play games in public.
13:58This is the scenario I'm creating.
14:00Am I saying this is likely?
14:01No.
14:02I'm just saying here's a potential scenario.
14:04That Adam Peters and Jaden both know that, dude, Brandon Ayuk is a talented kid.
14:09He's also a weird guy.
14:10He's a wild card.
14:11You never know what you're going to get.
14:12And so this is not new.
14:14We know this is how Brandon Ayuk is.
14:17And they probably, yeah, they do that.
14:18So if they know this is how he is, they might, I'm not saying it's likely,
14:22they might be willing to look past it up to a certain point for the production.
14:27Yeah, I mean, like, that's what Tom Brady did.
14:29But he may have crossed the line already.
14:30That's what the Patriots and Tom Brady.
14:32Especially with receivers.
14:34But right now.
14:34But this is going to continue until the 49ers release him.
14:38And the 49ers really don't have any incentive to release him.
14:41The weird part is, Brandon, he won't even do what they need him to do.
14:44They might just wait until the season starts.
14:47He won't even do what's necessary.
14:48Right.
14:49Brandon Ayuk's posting that he's in Virginia.
14:51But now he's saying that his boy Jaden is effing with his commas.
14:56His commas means the money, right?
14:58How big his money is.
15:00I don't have that many commas in my money.
15:02I don't know.
15:03But you'd be better if somebody effed with your commas.
15:05I'd be better here.
15:06Believe it.
15:07I look at my commas every day.
15:10Every single day I look at it.
15:12I don't because it would get me depressed.
15:14Yeah, you'd get pissed off.
15:15Those commas are dwindling for Ivy Leagues.
15:18You know who's got a lot of commas?
15:19Cornell.
15:20Cornell got all the commas.
15:22They got all the commas.
15:24Outrageous.
15:25If you want to chime in, 1-800-636-1067.
15:29I think it's harder to wave the Brandon Ayuk flag.
15:33I'm only sticking up for him because everyone hates him.
15:34But there's still people out there that want him.
15:36Hardly.
15:37I don't care.
15:38I guarantee if you ask if you want him or not, people are going to call us.
15:41It's open line Thursday.
15:421-800-636-1067.
15:43Do you still want Brandon Ayuk?
15:45This is kind of like my LeBron opinion.
15:48Just for the circus of it all, I'd like to see it.
15:51From a media standpoint.
15:52Yes.
15:52I'd like to see it.
15:53I just would like to see whatever happens.
15:55It'd be the number one story in training camp if it was here.
15:57I would like to see what would happen.
15:59I kind of would, too.
16:00That's just from a perverse sort of...
16:02But I would kind of want to see it blow up.
16:04Yeah.
16:05Well, no, I wouldn't want to see that.
16:07I know you wouldn't because you're a huge commander friend.
16:09But I don't know.
16:10It would just be more interesting.
16:10Like, in a perfect world, I actually don't want LeBron to come here.
16:13Because I do think it would be weird.
16:15But do I think LeBron makes your basketball team better?
16:16Of course.
16:17He's one of the greatest players of all time.
16:18But I kind of secretly don't want him here.
16:21Ayuk, do I think he can make their football team better?
16:24Yeah, he probably could, maybe.
16:25If he's healthy.
16:25If he's healthy and everything.
16:26But do I really want him here at this point?
16:28No.
16:28Probably not.
16:29Yeah.
16:29Because you don't know what effect that'll have on Jaden and the rest of the young guys.
16:33But from a media perspective, from a guy who has to talk about this kind of stuff and
16:37like wildness.
16:38Right.
16:39The more the merrier.
16:40That's perfect.
16:41Yeah.
16:41Yeah.
16:42It's like a Charlie Sheen bit.
16:45Uh-huh.
16:46As the IU turns.
16:47I was excited we were coming in every day when Charlie Sheen was putting out new Tiger
16:50Blood videos or whatever.
16:51That was amazing.
16:52When Mel Gibson was crashing out every day.
16:54When Magic Johnson was doing his talk show and we'd come in and we'd play his monologues
16:59every day.
17:00That's radio gold.
17:02I get it.
17:03If Brandon and IU came here to Washington, D.C., that would be radio gold.
17:06He'll put something else out today.
17:08Of course.
17:09We'll have another couple topics tomorrow.
17:11Well, he says that's the only way he's making money.
17:13He's got to make money on social media.
17:15Listen, that's one part of it I actually agree.
17:17I can see the angle he's working there.
17:20I get some brand deals.
17:21He's working an angle.
17:221-800-636-1067.
17:25We're the junkies.
17:26Be right back.
