00:00 What brand and I you tweeted 30 11 24 a.m. Mark 19th at coach Tomlin
00:06 They're saying we're twins. What do you think?
00:09 Okay, let's go a sentence by sentence. They're saying we're twins
00:14 What does that mean?
00:17 um
00:18 people
00:19 Say we look alike
00:21 Okay
00:26 Iggy do they look alike? I I don't think we don't think so not particularly. I don't okay
00:32 So let's go a little deeper with that. Mm-hmm
00:34 They say we're twins. I take it as
00:37 soul buddies
00:40 Like not soul mates but soul buddies like they're
00:45 Soul buddies that we're compatible
00:48 I take it as we're compatible. I like that compatible
00:54 compatible
00:56 Does that we were talking earlier? Is he compatible with kyle shanahan? I there's been some questions there
01:00 Right. Yeah, so let me ask you before we move on to the second sentence
01:06 They we're saying now read it as they say we're compatible. Does that seem like a fair translation?
01:14 Of what he wrote
01:17 I don't know what he meant. I think it's a fair interpretation
01:20 Of what he wrote, but I have no idea what he meant. Maybe he really is talking about physical appearances
01:25 I don't know. Okay, so it's it's it's a possible
01:29 in a fair interpretation
01:32 Where we're out on a limb, we don't know but then he asks the question. What do you think?
01:37 Right. Yeah, so he could be saying do we look alike which I don't think he's doing at all
01:44 I in my interpretation
01:47 I think we're soul buddies
01:50 What do you think?
01:52 Do you want me with you?
01:55 That's what he's opening up a dialogue. Hey, uh
01:57 Do you want to coach me?
02:00 I think so now let me ask you a question. He had to do it in a very oblique way
02:05 Because there may be rules about right hampering. I mean he's under contract. Yes, and there may be rules about this
02:12 So, you know iuk's probably very intelligent and he he he has to be cloaked
02:18 So I doubt he would do anything like that with like this without talking to his agent first
02:23 So this is possible like him and his team
02:25 Thought about something
02:27 Innocuous to write which would stir it all up, which he just did
02:31 I think he did and I I think
02:35 he's
02:37 letting
02:39 Pittsburgh and the niners know
02:41 I think he's willing to leave and go to pittsburgh. That's what I
02:46 Iggy, otherwise
02:48 What's the point?
02:50 And he didn't choose
02:52 other teams
02:54 he chose
02:55 Pittsburgh and I don't think just because the coach is a black guy. I mean I could be wrong
03:00 But I I think no mike tomlin is exactly he's the opposite of kyle. You want to talk about a guy who's emotional?
03:07 and
03:09 Positive and uplifting
03:11 Tomlin, he's the exact opposite of kyle. Absolutely
03:14 Yes, and you know, what's funny again going back to what I said, like what's your what's your relationship like with kyle? It's different
03:20 so
03:21 It's possible that the issue between the niners and iuk isn't money
03:26 It's possible. It's the it's the relationship between him and the coach. You didn't see i tweeting at russell wilson
03:33 Or anyone on the team
03:35 What seems to intrigue iuk about the steelers is the coach which means to me that maybe that's the issue with the niners
03:42 I love it. He didn't tweet to russell wilson. No who you would think he would because he throws the ball. Uh-huh
03:50 It's the coach
03:51 So maybe iuk is looking for a coach that he wants to work with
03:55 In his mid to late 20s
03:57 It's one thing to work with kyle when you're a young man and you haven't gotten paid and you kind of have to do what?
04:01 he says and take
04:03 the the whatever he says even if it's
04:05 Insulting not when you're making more than him not when you're almost 30. Maybe i said enough
04:11 Enough because this guy's not going to change. He's going to talk to me like this the rest of my life. I did it
04:15 I'd like to go work for that guy who is much more respectful
04:20 And will throw me the ball more time. Oh, yeah
04:22 And look at one more time he has a quarterback who'll throw me the ball downfield
04:30 Wow
04:35 I think it's interesting again. This news comes out about the steelers being interested in brandon iuk and he chooses today
04:40 To tweet it mike tomlin. He's
04:43 No dummy. He's very smart
04:45 And he's trying to get
04:48 something
04:49 seems strategic
04:50 Uh, let me say this. I don't think it's a coincidence that he tweets this
04:55 I don't believe that this is a coincidence. He didn't tweet it over to d'amico ryan's
05:01 Uh, I I I you know what? I mean? Yeah, I I don't think it's a coincidence
05:06 The coach says as an honorary member of mike tomlin look-alike club
05:11 Ba does in fact belong in the federation
05:15 Fair enough. It's also a double entendre ba knows. They both are true the look and the look
05:22 Um iggy tell me here what the coach means
05:30 I'm, not sure by that. I'm, not sure what he means by the look in the look they say
05:35 Okay, so coach bear with me because I love you
05:44 So you're a member of the look-alike club so you mean brothers black guys, I I think that's what you mean
05:50 To me to look like mike tomlin. You have to have a beard like the coach I could see it with the beard a very
05:57 Okay, masculine. Uh
06:00 Manicured beard, but I don't see it without you. I don't know. I don't know
06:05 tripping
06:07 Okay
06:08 Let me read it one more time. I'm trying to figure out what he means
06:11 They say they're queens. Well, I think what he's saying is like with tomlin. It's not just how he looks he gives you a look
06:16 He's got that look. It's very intense
06:19 Maybe that's what Iuke has too that kind of intense. No, no bs
06:23 There maybe that's what he means
06:26 You're so smart. Iggy. I'm trying
06:28 You're smart. Well, thank you. Brandon. Iuke for doing something during I like when things happen during the show. It's better
06:34 Iggy, do you think we reacted? Okay, I think we reacted really well
06:40 Good luck brandon. Enjoy pittsburgh. It's a nice town. It's it's one of the un it's a it's a gem of the midwest
06:46 You would call pennsylvania the midwest eh, well, it's sort of like a midwest city, but here's what I want to say
06:53 Iggy, it's the san francisco of the east
06:57 It's nice when san francisco used to be really nice
07:00 All those just all those different little bridges. It's very pretty in the hills. Yeah, beautiful
07:06 I got they got good stuff over there and they got russell wilson now
07:09 You
07:11 (upbeat music)
