[00:00:22] Speaker A: You didn't remember my segment last week? [00:00:24] Speaker C: Oh, no, that was the week before. Was a week. [00:00:26] Speaker B: It was a week before, though. [00:00:27] Speaker C: Okay, I'm sorry. I've just forgotten all about last week. [00:00:30] Speaker B: Did something happen last week there? You're just, like, purging it from your man. [00:00:33] Speaker C: Last week was busy for me, man. It was really intense, like, injuries and stuff. From, like, Thursday to Sunday night. I feel like I sat zero percent of the day. [00:00:43] Speaker B: That's probably not true. [00:00:44] Speaker C: It's very close. Okay, maybe I sat during church. Okay. But. And in the car a couple times. But otherwise, like, it was go, go, go. [00:00:53] Speaker B: So many goings. [00:00:54] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:00:55] Speaker B: What was so going about it? [00:00:57] Speaker C: Well, we were prepping for a party because we knew that the DeWitts were coming. [00:01:00] Speaker B: That's right. [00:01:00] Speaker A: Just us. [00:01:02] Speaker B: Nice digs, by the way. [00:01:03] Speaker C: Thank you. [00:01:03] Speaker B: I didn't really feel like I got to talk about how much I liked the place. [00:01:07] Speaker C: It was crazy. We should have you guys out another time and just separately so Shannon and Casey can drive. [00:01:12] Speaker B: I like the wall of books. Yeah, I really did like that. [00:01:16] Speaker C: Thank you. [00:01:16] Speaker B: I really enjoyed that. Yeah, it had a very coat, like, the house had a very cozy vibes. Yeah. [00:01:22] Speaker C: Thank you. Thank you. But the house is okay. It's a lot more about the property. [00:01:26] Speaker B: Oh, I. When we were driving out there. Beautiful drive out there. [00:01:30] Speaker C: Oh, nice. [00:01:30] Speaker B: Oh, it was very nice. [00:01:31] Speaker C: Oh, glad you think so. Yeah. [00:01:33] Speaker B: And then I kind of like how you guys are, like, kind of tucked away back there a little. [00:01:37] Speaker A: Can we give out to the. [00:01:40] Speaker B: It's like a little bit of, like, an oasis, almost like a cult. [00:01:43] Speaker C: That's what it's forming. Well, I wouldn't go so that far. [00:01:46] Speaker B: The Mauer cult. [00:01:48] Speaker A: You know what? [00:01:48] Speaker B: I feel like it might be we. [00:01:50] Speaker C: Wanted to throw this party and have everybody come. And so it doesn't seem like, you know, we're like, we're leaving society. We're, like, moving away. We're starting our own cult. [00:01:58] Speaker B: And they're hillbillies. [00:02:00] Speaker C: No, no. We're still. You guys are still a part of our lives. [00:02:02] Speaker B: Cabin in the woods. [00:02:04] Speaker C: Come on. [00:02:05] Speaker A: I don't know about that. [00:02:06] Speaker C: It's Great. [00:02:07] Speaker B: You guys ever seen Cabin in the Woods? [00:02:09] Speaker A: No. [00:02:09] Speaker C: I don't watch scary movies. [00:02:12] Speaker A: Dislike scary movies. [00:02:13] Speaker B: It's a. It's a movie. [00:02:15] Speaker C: There's a list of scary movies I wish I could unwatch. I wish I could just erase that part of my. [00:02:20] Speaker A: Can we go back and forth? We'll go tennis. Ready? Go. [00:02:22] Speaker C: Okay. [00:02:23] Speaker A: World War Z. Freddie Mercury. World War Z. Freddie Mercury back versus Jason. [00:02:27] Speaker B: World War Z was not a scary movie, though. [00:02:31] Speaker C: It terrified me. [00:02:32] Speaker B: What? [00:02:33] Speaker C: Fast zombies. This was ridiculous. I don't want to see that. [00:02:36] Speaker B: It's not even actually accurate to the book, by the way. [00:02:38] Speaker C: Yeah, so I've been told. [00:02:39] Speaker A: Fifteen love, Marshall. All right. Leprechaun one. [00:02:42] Speaker C: Okay. [00:02:43] Speaker B: What? [00:02:46] Speaker C: Yeah. Oh, that Johnny Depp Sleepy Hollow movie. [00:02:50] Speaker B: That is not scary. [00:02:52] Speaker C: Shut up. [00:02:53] Speaker B: Okay. You re watched it in your adult life? [00:02:56] Speaker C: No, I was. I was a preteen. [00:02:58] Speaker B: Right. You need to re watch it as an adult. It's not that. Jaws. [00:03:02] Speaker A: Okay. [00:03:05] Speaker C: Maybe I just watched the video. [00:03:06] Speaker B: This is funny. Claire doesn't normally let like, like to watch scary movies, so I actually like high suspense, thriller scary movies. Okay. I'm not like a big horror movie, like jump scare type of thing. [00:03:18] Speaker A: Right? [00:03:18] Speaker B: But. But there are like, classic thriller, high suspense movies that she really doesn't like watching all the time. And we have a deal that she will watch one of my, like, scary thriller movies, chick flick per year during Halloween. [00:03:36] Speaker C: What an interesting deal. [00:03:37] Speaker B: Okay, so this year it's like. So one of the first years we did it. We watched the Thing. [00:03:42] Speaker A: Uhhuh. [00:03:43] Speaker C: Okay. [00:03:43] Speaker B: And it was like me, Fantastic Four. It was me and father Brian and Claire, and we decided, oh, Claire, you gotta watch the Thing. It's a classic. [00:03:56] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:03:56] Speaker B: It's all of this. It's a great. And we're like, it's not going to be that bad. It's the. It's going to. It's in the 80s. None of this is going to hold up. Mid movie, we're watching this and me and Brian are like, it holds up. It holds up. [00:04:13] Speaker C: Like. [00:04:13] Speaker B: This was very funny because Claire was like, ah. [00:04:19] Speaker C: Oh, man. [00:04:20] Speaker A: So great. [00:04:21] Speaker B: This year I had it narrowed down between a movie called the Others. [00:04:25] Speaker C: Okay. [00:04:26] Speaker B: And the Sixth Sense. So we're gonna watch the Sixth Sense. [00:04:30] Speaker C: Okay. Okay. I like some shaman movies. Yeah. Yeah. [00:04:34] Speaker B: The Others is like a classic, like, scary ghost movie. Right? [00:04:37] Speaker A: I don't like Hocus Pocus either. [00:04:40] Speaker C: Okay. [00:04:40] Speaker B: I mean, that's just me. [00:04:41] Speaker A: It scares me. Some friends talking inside the school over the pa. Scary. [00:04:47] Speaker C: Some friends got us to go to see My bloody Valentine in 3D at the theater. Wow. That was pretty terrifying. Like, that's a. That was a gory movie with the pickaxe, like, in Three Day coming at your face. [00:04:58] Speaker B: You know, it's just Cabin in the Woods. I bring up Cabin in the woods, though, because it's actually one of those, like, satirical movies, or it tries to make fun of the genre, but in doing so, it actually defined the genre. It's considered one of, like, the greatest scary, like, horror movies out there. [00:05:18] Speaker C: Right. [00:05:18] Speaker B: And it was actually meant to make fun of the whole thing. [00:05:21] Speaker C: Isn't that how it goes sometimes? You know, Weird Al's got some really great songs, too. [00:05:27] Speaker B: Like a Surgeon Cut for the very first time. [00:05:32] Speaker C: I'm a big fan. [00:05:33] Speaker A: The move to our question of the day, guys. [00:05:34] Speaker C: My first concert, by the way. [00:05:35] Speaker B: Really? Really? Wow. [00:05:38] Speaker C: Okay, what's our question? [00:05:39] Speaker A: Justin Matson writes in. Here's a good question. Would you give up your favorite food for the rest of your life for a Super bowl or national championship win? You cannot get any more of that one food. [00:05:56] Speaker C: You can't get more than one championship. [00:05:59] Speaker A: No, no, you definitely can't get more than one champion. [00:06:01] Speaker B: You only get one super bowl, and. [00:06:04] Speaker A: You don't get one at all if you continue to eat your favorite food and if somehow you win. I have given personalized punishments for each of us. If you what, have a national championship or a Super bowl win, and then you decide, I'm gonna go eat that food. [00:06:26] Speaker B: Oh, there's a. [00:06:29] Speaker C: Okay. [00:06:30] Speaker B: There's a flag on the play preemptively that they have to review. They take it away. [00:06:35] Speaker C: So you can't. You can't. [00:06:37] Speaker A: First, what's your favorite food that's gone. Like, don't overthink it. Just. It's the one that's gone. [00:06:43] Speaker C: It'd be, man, I don't know. [00:06:44] Speaker B: It would be burgers, pizza, or steak. It'd be one of those. [00:06:48] Speaker A: Okay. [00:06:48] Speaker C: Dude, you're so basic. I don't know. [00:06:51] Speaker B: I'm a sucker for a good steak with some blue cheese crumbles on it. [00:06:54] Speaker A: Yeah, that's real good. Okay, well, you. Is yours a steak, Kyle? [00:06:58] Speaker C: You know, if I had to pick, maybe, like, I've always thought enchiladas might be up there. [00:07:05] Speaker B: Don't yuck his. Yum. [00:07:06] Speaker C: What? [00:07:06] Speaker B: Wow. [00:07:07] Speaker A: Number one. [00:07:08] Speaker C: What's your deal, man? Okay. Fajitas. [00:07:10] Speaker A: Oh, I could get behind it. [00:07:11] Speaker B: What's yours? What's yours? [00:07:12] Speaker C: Chicken tikka masala, baby. I'll go there. [00:07:14] Speaker B: Wow. So basic of you. [00:07:16] Speaker A: So much. Like, it's in your top three. All Right. Would you give it up? [00:07:20] Speaker B: I didn't say cheeseburger, by the way. Way so. Suck on that. B. Sorry. That was extense. [00:07:27] Speaker C: Jesus Christ, man. [00:07:28] Speaker A: Golden cover years. [00:07:32] Speaker B: Would I give it up for a Lion super bowl win for one. [00:07:39] Speaker C: Well, this is a hard challenge because this is not opt in. You're presenting. Which out. Which reality would you like to live in? And you. [00:07:47] Speaker B: Here's the funny thing. If I. [00:07:48] Speaker C: You can't opt out of this challenge in this. [00:07:51] Speaker B: This is actually a very interesting question. [00:07:53] Speaker C: The question is eat steak or see the Lions win. [00:07:56] Speaker A: Ch. [00:07:56] Speaker B: Because if I see the Lions win a Super Bowl, I'm going to love that for like a. A week. [00:08:03] Speaker C: A week. [00:08:04] Speaker B: Maybe more than a week. Like reality. Is that going to define my life? [00:08:10] Speaker C: Yes. [00:08:11] Speaker B: No, it's not going to define my life. [00:08:13] Speaker A: You only cared about their win. [00:08:15] Speaker B: Before we record processing out loud. Shut up. [00:08:18] Speaker C: Okay, okay. Process. Keep processing. We'll keep interjecting. [00:08:21] Speaker B: My. My point is, is that I, you know, like, that's a big thing, of course. [00:08:29] Speaker C: Right. [00:08:30] Speaker B: Wines are in the super bowl, but it's not like a defining thing in my life now. Steak for the rest of my life. Would I miss that? I mean, I probably would miss that for sure. [00:08:39] Speaker C: You know, what would you get when we. You eventually win the picks. [00:08:45] Speaker B: I'd have to get a Super bowl win. I'd have to get a burger. If I had to pick, I'd probably take the Lions win the Super Bowl. Me and food are kind of like, what? Like, I don't. I'm like, you know, it's whatever. [00:08:57] Speaker A: Right, Kyle? [00:09:00] Speaker C: So my first thought was like, I would probably take the soup. The Super Bowl. [00:09:07] Speaker A: Which team? [00:09:10] Speaker B: He'd go, Green Bay. [00:09:11] Speaker C: Let's go, Lions. [00:09:12] Speaker A: Oh, my. [00:09:12] Speaker C: Let's go, Lions. [00:09:13] Speaker A: You could get away with eating the steak in Kyle. [00:09:15] Speaker B: Oh, this is true. Thank you. I will take. [00:09:18] Speaker C: I genuinely think it would be more personally meaningful to witness a Lion super bowl and be. That would be a more emotional experience. [00:09:26] Speaker B: Because they haven't done it before. Yeah. And they were like, they've been considered like an underdog. It would probably. In the Dan Campbell era to win a Super Bowl. That would probably be one of the biggest sports stories for a long time. [00:09:41] Speaker C: They've become the most. [00:09:42] Speaker A: So hard. [00:09:43] Speaker C: It's. It's crazy. My first thought was to go with. [00:09:46] Speaker B: That this past weekend because. [00:09:48] Speaker A: Always crying anyway. [00:09:50] Speaker C: Just because food is kind of like you said, but like, take one away is like, I don't know. It's like taking one song away from my entire music listening library. Like, I have already at this point. There's probably songs I love that I will never hear again in my lifetime, and my life goes on. Like, one type of food. I like a lot of types of food. There's a lot of different types of food, and I would probably not even miss it if you took one away. I mean, there are some. There are some that are, like, staples that are part of life. It'd be hard to go your whole life not eating pizza again, that'd just be a challenge because it's ubiquitous. It's everywhere. You can't go to a party without having pizza. Kids want pizza every single Friday night. But if I pick something that I truly love the most, whatever, it's just one thing. I'll eat something else. That's amazing. [00:10:39] Speaker B: I also. I don't get steak a lot to begin with because it generally, a good one is expensive. Even a relatively cheap one is expensive. [00:10:47] Speaker C: That's true. Yeah. And a lot of my favorites are, like, I don't know, like, Indian food or like. Like a Thai dish, like a curry or something like that. Like, that's about. To me, that's, like, as good as it gets. But I eat it rarely. Yeah, we don't have a lot of it. It's hard to get. [00:11:00] Speaker B: I like sushi, too, but also, at. [00:11:02] Speaker C: The same time, I've got a lot of years left, and if it was, like, if this choice is, like, for the rest of my life, decades and decades of continuing to watch sports, like, that's all we're gonna get, you know? Like, I'm in my 30s. I could watch the Lions play for another 50 years and see them win one championship. [00:11:23] Speaker B: And this is actually where my head was at, too. Part of me was like, well, if I know they're never gonna win, it actually makes, as a viewer a lot easier to watch them, because I know I'm never gonna go anywhere with. [00:11:33] Speaker A: I would never. That's such a loser mentality. I feel like I don't really like. [00:11:38] Speaker C: This scenario where, you know, very. [00:11:40] Speaker B: It wouldn't be very stressful, that's for sure. Sure. [00:11:43] Speaker C: You're telling us to choose one or none? Justin, this is a difficult question. [00:11:47] Speaker A: I'm cutting the cheeseburgers out. They're gone. Notre Dame wins a nanny. One time in my life. I'm good with it. [00:11:52] Speaker C: And then you just watch Notre Dame for the rest of your life, knowing they won't win again. [00:11:56] Speaker A: I've won. [00:11:56] Speaker B: What if this started? [00:11:57] Speaker A: What do you think you're doing with Michigan? You're not Even watching them play. And they won a national championship two years ago. [00:12:02] Speaker C: That's different. That's different. [00:12:05] Speaker A: Do you want to know what your punishment would be? [00:12:07] Speaker C: Oh, okay. Go ahead and fill us in. What. What's the punishment? [00:12:11] Speaker A: If Ian was to do it, there would become very, very strong circumstantial evidence that comes out against his team. Do all of them doing copious amounts of steroids. No denial. They did it taints the championship asterisk taken away. Banners go down. [00:12:29] Speaker B: Wow. [00:12:29] Speaker A: Kyle, you want to know yours? [00:12:32] Speaker C: All right, fine. [00:12:33] Speaker A: Life in prison. [00:12:36] Speaker B: He gets life in prison. Mine's not that bad. [00:12:41] Speaker A: Life in prison. [00:12:41] Speaker C: I'm doubt. [00:12:42] Speaker A: I'm out. [00:12:43] Speaker C: I'm out. I'm not. I don't want to play. I don't want to play this game. [00:12:46] Speaker A: You got it. Green Bay doesn't. [00:12:48] Speaker B: What happens. What happens for you? [00:12:52] Speaker A: It's too. It's too hard for me. [00:12:54] Speaker B: No, you can't. [00:12:54] Speaker A: You gotta. [00:12:55] Speaker B: No, you gotta say it. [00:12:56] Speaker A: Maybe we'll tease it for the very infer. [00:12:58] Speaker B: No, no, no, no. [00:12:58] Speaker C: Maybe this is the best argument for having a backup team. You know, like another team that you love. [00:13:03] Speaker B: I do like the Rams, but I already got to watch that. I already got to watch. [00:13:06] Speaker C: Are you going to love the Rams when Stafford retires? Probably not. [00:13:09] Speaker B: I actively enjoy the Rams because of Stafford being over there. I was. [00:13:15] Speaker C: I have felt very. [00:13:16] Speaker B: That was. I really enjoyed that season watching him play for the Rams and being successful. But it was easy to enjoy that season because the Lions were awful that year. Right. And so it was. It was very easy for me to live vicariously through Stafford. [00:13:32] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:13:33] Speaker B: So I got the joy of a Super Bowl. But it was. I know it's not the same because it's not the Lions. And I always wished he could have done that with us. [00:13:43] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:13:43] Speaker B: But I still enjoyed watching him win. I had a lot of fun. And I still wear that Rams Stafford jersey. I will always wear that thing you do. [00:13:51] Speaker C: It would have been cool. But, gosh, I just can't imagine golf hosting that trophy. Jared Goff hosting. That would be. [00:13:58] Speaker B: If it was the Dan Campbell Jared Goff Lions to win it, then, yes, I would give up the steak. [00:14:05] Speaker A: Okay. [00:14:06] Speaker B: Because I would want to watch them win it. [00:14:09] Speaker C: I'm kind of on board with that. [00:14:10] Speaker A: My punishment is I'm no longer allowed to eat anything that isn't cooked in my own house. That's a big punishment. That's a big punishment. Huge punishment for me. [00:14:21] Speaker C: Okay. That sounds hard. [00:14:24] Speaker B: That's a hot take. [00:14:25] Speaker A: Oh, thank you. [00:14:26] Speaker B: You know what? That Means let's get to our mailbag. His hot. Take time. [00:14:33] Speaker A: We had a wedding. One of our listeners, Jamie Haslaw, married. [00:14:35] Speaker C: Congratulations. [00:14:36] Speaker B: Congratulations. [00:14:38] Speaker A: Go, Jamie. Jamie writes in. Who in the NFL would you want to officiate your wedding? Can I say as well, as a side note, when we were at. We went and golfed the day before his wedding, as all men do before they're married and never allowed to golf again. Elliot and I saw a guy, and he looked just like Dan Campbell. [00:15:00] Speaker C: Oh, wow. [00:15:00] Speaker A: We kept calling him Dan Campbell throughout the entire day. Dan Campbell. He's like, what's up? And he, like, flex. Yeah, he was the ranger. And at the end, Elliot tried to buy the flag of the golf course to, like, give it to Jamie as a gift. [00:15:15] Speaker C: Really? [00:15:16] Speaker A: That's a thing people do on, like, golf trips. And the owner was like, no, we don't do that. And Dan Campbell walked by and goes, dude, really? Like, you guys. You call me Dan Campbell all day. I love your vibe. I got a used one in my car, gives it out for free. [00:15:32] Speaker B: Whoa. [00:15:33] Speaker A: Shout out to him. [00:15:34] Speaker C: Oh, my gosh, what a tale. [00:15:35] Speaker B: Shout out to Campbell. [00:15:37] Speaker A: Justin Ohlmark was the officiant. British man, a bloke, some might say, and did a great job, lots of great jokes, didn't take the sunshine away from them, and stepped out of the picture perfectly when it was, you may kiss your bride. [00:15:49] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:15:50] Speaker A: Who do you guys got officiating the wedding? Geez Louise, I feel like there's only one right answer. [00:15:57] Speaker B: Do I have to do this? I mean, because we're already married. [00:16:01] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:16:02] Speaker B: And I liked my. So this is just, like, random. Okay, well, I'd have. [00:16:07] Speaker C: Maybe they'll. They'll. As I did this last summer, because I did one of these. [00:16:11] Speaker A: Renew the vows. Yeah. [00:16:12] Speaker C: A vow renewal ceremony. [00:16:14] Speaker B: Okay. I can get down with a vow. Vow renewal. Okay. Yeah. Dan Campbell. [00:16:19] Speaker C: Dan Campbell's a great answer. He was the first that came to my mind. Although I was like, gronk's officiating weddings in a commercial. So that kind of picture was in my. In my mind. Gronk could be fun. [00:16:30] Speaker A: I got Bill Belichick. [00:16:33] Speaker C: All right. [00:16:34] Speaker A: Wer. [00:16:37] Speaker C: You just be loving Buffalo. [00:16:39] Speaker B: I feel. I don't know if I would feel. Feel comfortable with Bill Belichick at my wedding. [00:16:44] Speaker A: My wife would definitely be older than his girlfriend. She wouldn't. He wouldn't be interested in her. [00:16:48] Speaker B: How old is she? She's like, 26. [00:16:51] Speaker A: She's really young. [00:16:53] Speaker B: I'm gonna look up. [00:16:55] Speaker C: Maybe. Maybe Travis. Travis would be a good time. Belichick Maybe I could get into that. [00:17:03] Speaker B: Girlfriend age or just like, who's the. [00:17:06] Speaker C: Biggest mountain of a man? And yeah, maybe we get like a penne. [00:17:10] Speaker A: Penne Sewell would be. [00:17:11] Speaker B: Penne would be great. If you ever watch the sights and sounds videos that Detroitly will show. [00:17:17] Speaker C: He's always at the end. [00:17:18] Speaker B: He's always at the end. [00:17:19] Speaker C: I love those. [00:17:20] Speaker B: He's so funny at the end. [00:17:21] Speaker A: What's the age, Ian? [00:17:23] Speaker B: God, this is. I knew it was bad. This is really bad. This is. He is 73. That's ancient of days. [00:17:30] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:17:31] Speaker B: She's 24. [00:17:32] Speaker C: Holy. [00:17:34] Speaker A: Hold on, let me do the thing. Andy from the Parks and Rec, cut your age in half, add 6. 73. [00:17:42] Speaker C: Wow. [00:17:43] Speaker A: Yeah, that's still too old. That's too young for him. That's. Whoa. [00:17:49] Speaker B: That's disgusting. [00:17:50] Speaker C: Crazy. The dude was 59 when she was born. Born, dude. It's weird. It's unjustified. [00:18:00] Speaker B: She was born. Oh, my gosh. She was born when he won his first Super Bowl. [00:18:08] Speaker A: Whoa. [00:18:09] Speaker B: That wild correction. First super bowl with the Patriots. [00:18:13] Speaker C: Okay. [00:18:13] Speaker B: He would have done it with Bill Parcells, I think. [00:18:15] Speaker A: Speaking of Super Bowls, Tim DeWitt writes in, if you want to be a Super bowl team, you need to show up in the big games. Lions didn't do that. [00:18:26] Speaker B: I love you, dad, but this is a bad take. Yeah, just. I'm gonna say that I think this is a bad take because you have two good teams playing each other. Someone's gonna lose, and it sometimes it's not always pretty. You know, how many times have we seen, like, the Patriots have an absolute dud of a game and then they went off and rifled off like 12 wins in the one of the Super Bowl. [00:18:53] Speaker C: Right. [00:18:53] Speaker B: This kind of stuff happens all the time. You just. You can't win them all kind of a situation. [00:18:58] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:18:59] Speaker B: And quite frankly, I watched the entire game. So the game, the score line looks worse than it actually was. [00:19:07] Speaker C: To say they didn't show up is a dead extreme. [00:19:10] Speaker B: It was 1720 in the fourth quarter. This game was not a blowout until the last like nine minutes when the Lions were kind of pinned into a corner because their defense, lo and behold, when your two starting corners are out due to injuries and then the two backup corners are also out. So you have two. You have a third stringer and a fourth stringer out there. [00:19:37] Speaker C: Advantage passing game. [00:19:39] Speaker B: Yeah, Right. And Brian Branch and Kirby were on the. The injury report and didn't practice all week. [00:19:46] Speaker C: Tough. [00:19:47] Speaker B: Their secondary was non existent and they had to rely on the past rush, which The Chiefs didn't really run it. They really just threw all over them. I mean, I don't know what else to say other than that the game would played out pretty much how you'd expect in a situation like that. [00:20:02] Speaker C: Yep. [00:20:03] Speaker B: The line and that game could have gone very differently if that was a touchdown instead of three points at the beginning of the game. [00:20:11] Speaker A: Oh my God. [00:20:12] Speaker B: Oh, that play that gave me a heart attack. [00:20:15] Speaker C: If I think too much about that, I'll just get mad. [00:20:19] Speaker B: If they turn that into a touchdown, the game's is going to have a different feel to it because the lines would no longer be playing on the back foot. They'd be playing with the lead the entire time instead of the other way around, which is what it was. If St. Brown caught that fourth down pass like he usually do. He does. It literally went right through his hands. [00:20:38] Speaker C: Yes. [00:20:39] Speaker B: Very different game. So I mean you're talking two plays that they normally they. I mean it just wasn't kind of. It just was a night. [00:20:49] Speaker C: That first one is frustrating as heck. [00:20:51] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:20:52] Speaker C: To know that they executed it perfectly and basically everybody on the team didn't understand the rule or like the current interpretation of the rule. So weren't expecting a penalty. Like we just did this as designed. We executed it just right and it worked and now we're penalized. [00:21:12] Speaker B: Yeah. Live and learn. [00:21:14] Speaker C: Jer Goff in the press conference after was talking about not understanding why this was a penalty or thinking that like this counts you as the quarterback because of your proximity. He thought you had to go actually hands under center. [00:21:25] Speaker B: The Chiefs were the first team in like 374 games. 374 games. They're the first team to not have a single penalty against them the entire time. [00:21:39] Speaker C: Holy cow. That's incredible. [00:21:41] Speaker A: It's a great stat. [00:21:43] Speaker B: That sounds really absurd. That's absurd. You can't tell me that they didn't have a penalty in there. Did you guys. I sent you guys an article. I sent you guys an article. Did you happen to read that article? [00:21:56] Speaker C: I saw it. [00:21:57] Speaker A: I saw it. [00:21:58] Speaker B: It was a very interesting read because it talked a lot about. For anybody who's listening, there's an article out there. You could probably find it where it kind of research was done. Scientific data in the sheets. [00:22:10] Speaker A: Independent.co.uk.uk There you go. [00:22:14] Speaker B: They're actually pretty reliable too. [00:22:15] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:22:16] Speaker B: And they, if you read the whole article, they actually outline what they did. And their, their data sample, their data size was quite large. We know how we feel about data samples here on this pod. Now, it was a quite large sample size. [00:22:31] Speaker C: Okay. [00:22:31] Speaker B: And they had. The Chiefs had like, what, 28 to 23. 23 to 28%. I can't remember the exact number. Advantage in penalties. Like, penalties were called in their favor 23% more often than any other, like, dynastic team before them. So that, like the Brady era never had that type of advantage. And it, you know, it's very interesting. Yeah, it's just interesting. I'm not saying I'm like, you know, crying over penalties on this. This game because the lines simply. They just made mistakes. They were banged up in the secondary. The Chiefs played well. I mean, they. They honestly, they played really good football. The demise of the Chiefs. Chiefs was greatly exaggerated. So it's true. [00:23:20] Speaker C: It's just they went up against a good team and there's a small margin for error. And the Chiefs played a very good game and the Lions played a kind of good game. And like, we've seen the Lions show up and play flawless football. They have it in them. [00:23:31] Speaker B: It wasn't. It's not. Yeah. So it's not like, oh, the Lions suck now. It's like, no, they're still a good team. They just. [00:23:38] Speaker C: Still a great team. I think they're still a Super bowl contender. [00:23:41] Speaker B: Of course they are. Now they're going to have a really tough game this weekend, too. They're not going to have Branch because he just got suspended for that little kerfuffle with Schuster. At the end of the game, they're not going to have their two starting corners. Kirby's banged up. I mean, their secondary is still not going to be there against Tampa Bay, who has been lighting it up in the secondary. I worry about that game, too. [00:24:05] Speaker C: I think this is the first real test that Tampa Bay has had this season. This is the best team that they have played. Definitely going to be. And Tampa Bay was one of only two regular season teams to beat the Lions last year. So this is an interesting and fun rematch. [00:24:19] Speaker B: Playing really good. [00:24:20] Speaker C: Baker's playing. [00:24:21] Speaker B: It is in Detroit, which is good. So that's good for the Lions. [00:24:27] Speaker C: Should be a fun one. [00:24:28] Speaker B: Yeah. All that to say. All that to say. There's still. There's still. Definitely a contending team. I would not exaggerate this game too much. They're still playing good football. [00:24:43] Speaker A: Let's get into our next take comes from Eric Giannunzio. It's a little bit more current than what we usually have because this is about team on Monday Night Football. While Monday Night Football is going on, it's that time of the year. Again, kids don't get tricked by believing that the Buffalo Bills can be a Super bowl contender. They currently have their mask off. Down 21 to 7 to the lowly Falcons. They are who they who we thought they were and who they've always been. What do you believe is the one reason they can get over the hump? The window has to be closing. [00:25:18] Speaker B: Thanks, G. The Bills are an interesting team to me. They're always perennially good lately, but never good enough. And in part, I just don't know if they have a lot of star power outside of Josh Allen on that team. [00:25:38] Speaker C: Right. [00:25:39] Speaker A: James Cook is great. [00:25:41] Speaker B: But in terms, James Cook is great. [00:25:44] Speaker A: You don't think he's great? [00:25:44] Speaker C: No, he is. [00:25:45] Speaker B: He's. He's good. [00:25:46] Speaker C: But he was a good pick for your fantasy team. [00:25:48] Speaker A: No, besides that. He is a great player on their team. [00:25:51] Speaker C: I agree. He's a good running back. [00:25:52] Speaker B: He is a good running back. He's a good running back. But in the grand scheme of running backs, this is not. You're not talking James Cook half the time. You're talking Henry. You're talking Gibbs. You're talking Bijan. There are plenty of other running backs out there that get way more airtime than Cook does. That's because it's the Josh Allen show over there. It always has been and it always will be. That he has a rotating band of receivers, which I think is actually impressive that that offense can function without a true wide receiver one, their wide receiver. [00:26:25] Speaker A: One or their two tight ends. [00:26:27] Speaker B: Kincaid, who's not playing right now to be noted. But Kincaid is definitely good. True Shakir's all right, but Shakir's like a wide receiver two type guy. [00:26:38] Speaker C: Right? Right. [00:26:39] Speaker B: Coleman, he's not like a. They're not like a true one. [00:26:42] Speaker A: Coleman was pushed in the offseason to be and labeled as to be their number one. He hasn't been so far this year. [00:26:47] Speaker B: I just haven't seen the Bills breed a lot of talent or go get talent like I have seen other teams like the Eagles have done or the Chiefs have done or the Rams did when. [00:27:01] Speaker A: What about the Packers? Like, what happened to drafting and developing good wide receivers like the packers have over the last decade? [00:27:10] Speaker B: I mean, they got golden. [00:27:12] Speaker C: I mean they've got some guys with potential but like there were a lot of years where the packers were were criticized for their lack of investment in that position. [00:27:23] Speaker B: In part it was more because they. [00:27:24] Speaker A: As of recent with Jordan Love, I feel like they've had a lot. [00:27:27] Speaker C: I mean, I think They've made a lot of dirt throws. [00:27:30] Speaker A: Number one team to have a bunch of number two wide receivers. [00:27:34] Speaker C: Oh, okay. [00:27:34] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:27:35] Speaker C: That's a good example. [00:27:35] Speaker A: A lot of them. [00:27:36] Speaker C: Yeah. Not just like they've got two. A lot of capable receivers. They don't have a standout. They don't have a Devonte Adams on roster anymore. They don't have anybody who's like an operational Watson. They don't have a ball winner. [00:27:47] Speaker B: Watson and Kraft are probably their two best ones right there. [00:27:51] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, that's fair. But golden is Romeo Dobbs. And Dobbs. [00:27:55] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I forgot about him. [00:27:57] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:27:57] Speaker C: It's a. It's a group effort. It's kind of. It's kind of like the. The experience that the Bills have. But I'm amused by the takes that we're getting from G here. Like, I didn't know that this is. This was gonna be a target of. Of G's wrath. [00:28:15] Speaker A: His wrath. You are intimidated. [00:28:17] Speaker B: The Bills. [00:28:18] Speaker C: G's coming for. You never know who's gonna. G's gonna come for next. Now he's coming for the Bills. Their masks are off. I'm. I am curious, like, what an observation about the Bills in recent years is that, like, I think they've got one of these games in them every season, you know, like, they just lost to. [00:28:38] Speaker B: The Patriots, though, not that long ago. Although the Patriots look pretty solid right now. [00:28:42] Speaker C: The Patriots are deceptively good revenge game. That was. That was actually a good game. [00:28:47] Speaker B: Patriots to go to the playoffs. [00:28:48] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, that's right. [00:28:49] Speaker B: Thank you. [00:28:50] Speaker C: Very nice. Very nice. I'm kind of intrigued by what's going on over there, but I think the Bills are like, every season they've got like a dud game in them that's. [00:29:00] Speaker A: This really bad football being. [00:29:02] Speaker C: Football was a year before last that they lost like to the jets to three or something. Some bad game. [00:29:08] Speaker B: They. They're a very. They're a team I look at and their ceiling is very high. Yeah, I feel like they're very like, man, they can just blow the crap. Like blow the doors off of a team almost at will. And then other teams, it's like, what happened like this Atlanta game. They. And they could still win this Atlanta game. It's important to know we're in the third quarter and it's 7:21 and they are driving down the field right now as we're talking, so. But it is just kind of like they're a weird team, but they live and die by Josh Allen. As far as I'm Concerned. And if Josh has a bad game, I mean, there's no one to. To elevate him back to like, normalcy, you know, like if, if Rogers had a bad game, Devonte can catch pretty much anything. [00:29:57] Speaker A: Right. [00:29:57] Speaker B: You know, Justin Jefferson can make pretty much any quarterback look good. [00:30:02] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:30:03] Speaker B: I mean, he's been doing it the entire time he's been over there. [00:30:06] Speaker C: Right. [00:30:07] Speaker B: He made, like, Mullins look like a capable quarterback. [00:30:11] Speaker C: Right. [00:30:12] Speaker A: So it's almost like inconsistency is, I don't know, a reflection of your coaching or lack thereof. [00:30:17] Speaker B: It could be. But how do you justify firing a guy who's gotten you to the AFC championship game multiple times? You're always relevant. You've produced an MVP caliber quarterback. [00:30:28] Speaker A: Same way you get rid of Kirk Cousins when he doesn't win you a Super bowl and just takes you to the playoffs to lose. [00:30:33] Speaker B: So then why. So question why does Harbaugh over at the Ravens still have a job? I said this last year that Harbaugh is on like he hasn't been talked about. But they've been constantly hitting the same wall the Bills are. [00:30:46] Speaker C: What is the difference between the Ravens and the Bills? [00:30:48] Speaker B: I don't think there's. [00:30:49] Speaker C: I don't even know what even video difference is there of these teams. [00:30:52] Speaker B: I don't think there's any difference. I've said I feel like Lamar and Josh are like the same. To me. They. They feel like the same quarterback with maybe a slight edge in either direction on any given Sunday. [00:31:04] Speaker C: Right. But both a superhero quarterback, a pretty good running back, a committee of wide receivers that are all just okay but not excellent. [00:31:13] Speaker B: The Ravens. And this is actually a really good team to bring up because what we're watching with the Ravens right now, they are atrocious without their MVP quarterback out there. They're so bad. [00:31:26] Speaker C: Right. [00:31:27] Speaker B: And they got nothing. And like Lamar not being out there has greatly exposed how bad that team actually is. [00:31:34] Speaker C: Terrible. Like one of the worst defenses in the entire league right now. I don't know how that happened. [00:31:39] Speaker B: And I imagine two years ago with. [00:31:40] Speaker C: Mike McDonald they had like the best defense the NFL could. Now they're the worst. Yeah. [00:31:46] Speaker B: And I imagine the Bills would be the same way as if they lost Josh Allen, who I think has been more resilient than Lamar has. He hasn't been as injury prone as Lamar has. I think they would follow the same suit. [00:32:04] Speaker A: So I'm with you, G. I think the window's closing, too. Our last question comes from Natesh Mystery. [00:32:12] Speaker C: Just get to say that that's he. [00:32:13] Speaker B: Just likes to throw that. [00:32:15] Speaker C: I just think the wind. [00:32:16] Speaker B: I got nothing to contribute. I'm just going to say you're right. [00:32:19] Speaker C: I don't need to. [00:32:20] Speaker A: Nash mystery rates it. Steelers always start strong, then fade when it matters most. It's the Tomlin way. Hashtag jaded fan. Take that commit one upped in the hashtag conversation. [00:32:37] Speaker B: They are an absolute boring team to watch. They're so boring to watch. [00:32:44] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:32:45] Speaker B: I don't find them very interesting. Rogers is. He's having a good year so far. [00:32:50] Speaker C: But you know, it's fine. I mean for those who care about those stats. He's got the lowest adot in the entire league. It's all quick game, it's rare deep shots, it's all fast speed up. It's kind of an efficient offense that it makes you think like why do you need a 40 something year old quarterback to run this? Because probably anybody could do that. [00:33:11] Speaker B: And the bonus that Rodgers has that he didn't have with the jets is one, he does have competent coaching over there. I mean I'm. You got to give Tomlin that. And he's got a much better defense. [00:33:21] Speaker A: Incompetent coaching currently at the jets right now too. Aaron Bland. [00:33:25] Speaker C: That's disappointing. [00:33:26] Speaker A: That dude looks like a guy that could be fired in a year and a half. [00:33:30] Speaker C: Yeah. It's kind of sad. [00:33:32] Speaker B: I'm holding out hope for him still. But Justin Fields is not it. I mean I'm watching him. That dude looks. I think there's a reason. I'm starting to see the reasons why he has bounced around so much already in his young career. He is just doesn't have it. He has held on to the ball so long sometimes and he does this whole thing. It's like I'm watching a rookie quarterback that's like I can get this pass off and I'm going to scramble for 20 minutes and I got sacked. I feel like I've watched Caleb Williams was really bad about that his first year. He was really bad about it. I mean maybe he's getting a little bit better. I think Ben Johnson's got that offense definitely doing a lot better than they were without him. [00:34:17] Speaker C: Yeah. So I liked what you brought up that one time Marshall, about the, the. [00:34:22] Speaker A: Thank you. [00:34:23] Speaker B: You don't even know what he's talking about. [00:34:25] Speaker C: Yeah. Just like quarterbacks who had a lot of success with their mobility in their like high school and college careers entering the NFL wired a little overconfident at their ability to escape pressure. [00:34:41] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:34:42] Speaker C: And having a hard time adjusting to the fact that they're going against different animals right now, and you just can't. [00:34:47] Speaker B: Escape these guys, and they are not the most athletic person out there, and. [00:34:51] Speaker C: They think, you know, their mental clock is longer. They think, I've got, like, five or six seconds before I need to ditch the ball. You don't have that much time. You do not. [00:35:01] Speaker A: Do you want to know that you play ncaa, right? [00:35:04] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:35:04] Speaker B: Do you want to know a player that didn't? It's the same kind of concept where they're coming. They're coming in from the. The college with this mindset of, like, oh, I can just play the way I've always played, but it's actually working. Scatter. [00:35:21] Speaker C: Boo. I. All right. [00:35:24] Speaker B: Love watching him play that dude. [00:35:27] Speaker A: I love a headache. In about. [00:35:29] Speaker B: I never thought that I was gonna say I like watching the Giants play, but I have really enjoyed watching dart. [00:35:39] Speaker A: Dart looks good, dude. Dart G texted me, wasn't watching any of the game. Went back and watched the expressed version of it where it condenses. [00:35:48] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:35:48] Speaker A: Yeah, dude. And he was right. Jackson Dart looked like young Russ. [00:35:54] Speaker B: He looked good. [00:35:55] Speaker C: That's crazy. [00:35:56] Speaker A: That's a great comp, though. Watch some of his throws. Watch the deep ball. Watch. Just drop it right in the bread box. Right in the bread basket. [00:36:03] Speaker B: That Russ wishes he looked like a young Russ, dude. Oh, my God. He comes out for two plays, dirts it into the ground. Immediate booze, immediate boost. [00:36:16] Speaker A: Seven yards in front of. He's trying to throw it, too. [00:36:19] Speaker B: Dayball looked like he was about to have an aneurysm on the sideline because he had to stick with Russ. And he's like, I'm gonna lose my job. I'm gonna go in the tent. Dart. [00:36:30] Speaker A: They went. And he goes into the tent, and then he comes back without an answer. And you know who goes in after him? [00:36:36] Speaker C: Scared a boo, right? [00:36:37] Speaker A: Yeah, just an animal. I have a concussion, too. No, I'm teasing. I mean, he didn't say that, but it's more like, you know, just. He is. He's our new gronk. [00:36:48] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:36:50] Speaker A: In, like, half to do a jersey swap with Ryan Fitzpatrick. [00:36:53] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:36:55] Speaker A: He just didn't give him anything. He just ripped into pieces and then took Ryan Fitzpatrick's shirt. [00:37:01] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:37:02] Speaker B: I heard the nickname Bam Bam Cam. I was like, I kind of like that. [00:37:06] Speaker C: Okay. He's. [00:37:08] Speaker B: He's a monster. I mean, the dude. I like contact. I. He, like, trucked down Deene like Cooper Dean. He literally just mowed him over last. [00:37:20] Speaker A: Year, if you remember correctly, it was a. It was one of the best hits I've ever seen on Derk Henry. Yeah, he just laid him out kind of like K. Willis did that one time. [00:37:29] Speaker B: I just love. There are certain. There are certain players when you're watching, you're just like, this dude's just having fun, and he's fun to watch. And I think Scatter Boo is fun to watch. [00:37:41] Speaker A: I really like. [00:37:42] Speaker B: I really like watching. It's like one of those things that reminds you of, like, oh, yeah, I do like watching football. [00:37:49] Speaker A: So what do you think it's going to take for Natasha to be no longer hashtag jaded fan? Gosh, by the way, very spoiled to be hashtag jaded fan of a Steelers team. [00:38:02] Speaker B: But in recent years, we've talked about this a lot. [00:38:04] Speaker C: True. [00:38:05] Speaker B: How old is she? [00:38:07] Speaker C: How old is who? [00:38:08] Speaker A: Natash. [00:38:09] Speaker B: Natash. [00:38:10] Speaker C: Natash. He is. I don't know, my age, probably. [00:38:15] Speaker B: Okay, so he definitely. So he got to witness both Steeler wins then in the Super Bowl Tomlin era. [00:38:24] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:38:24] Speaker B: And that's just. [00:38:25] Speaker C: He actually just went to Boston to watch the Steelers at Patriots. [00:38:31] Speaker B: Wow. [00:38:33] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. He said it was great. [00:38:34] Speaker B: I. I would say, I mean, if he wants to feel less jaded. They got to win a playoff game. I mean, they have to. [00:38:41] Speaker A: How about this? [00:38:42] Speaker B: Would you rather they're leading their division, by the way? Crap division, by the way. Now, I never would have thought that. [00:38:50] Speaker C: That division started the season. It was like, that's the division to watch. Now it's like, turn off your TV when the AFC north is playing awful. [00:38:58] Speaker B: Because, I mean, the Bengals. [00:39:00] Speaker C: What, like, who's the worst in this division? [00:39:03] Speaker B: Have we not talked about. Joe Flacco has played for three of these teams now, by the way. [00:39:10] Speaker C: It's so funny. And how close he was. How close he was to beating the packers twice in a season on different teams. [00:39:18] Speaker B: How close? [00:39:19] Speaker C: That was crazy. [00:39:20] Speaker B: I. What did Tomlin say about, like, he. [00:39:23] Speaker A: Was talking, like, scouting quarterbacks? [00:39:25] Speaker B: Well, no, it was. He was saying something about the fact of, like, I mean, you put this guy out there that you thought was going to be you. You. You said he was your number one starting quarterback, and then you're trading him to a division rival. Like, what are you doing? He's criticizing the Browns, which I'm always going to get on board with. I hate the Browns. I think they're the worst. [00:39:46] Speaker A: They're. [00:39:46] Speaker B: They're not only a miserable franchise, they're the worst run franchise, I think, in history. I hate that team. [00:39:53] Speaker A: Do you see that guy? [00:39:54] Speaker B: I hate that. [00:39:54] Speaker A: For a move to Allen park in Cleveland. Their stadium. [00:39:59] Speaker C: Oh, did they new stadium. [00:40:00] Speaker A: 100 million from their owner. It's going to go up for it. [00:40:04] Speaker C: Oh, wow. How much from taxpayers? [00:40:06] Speaker A: I think a lot. [00:40:07] Speaker C: A lot more. I was actually just listening. [00:40:10] Speaker A: Billion to like. Yeah, I said that correct. 2 or 3 billion. So that's like he's doing 1 30th potentially. [00:40:19] Speaker B: Someone said that. [00:40:21] Speaker C: That's. That's just. That's just crazy. [00:40:23] Speaker B: I can't remember who it was, but someone was. Oh, man, I really wish I remember. They were like, desean Watson's gonna start for this team before the end of the year. I believe it now. I. I wouldn't have put money on it now, but that team sucks. They're awful. They're poorly run. They're poorly coached. [00:40:42] Speaker C: Their whole strategy seems so stupid. [00:40:44] Speaker B: Their owner is. I mean, I don't. [00:40:48] Speaker C: Every choice that they have, like, almost every choice that they have made in recent years just seems so dumb. This makes you scratch your head and say, what's your goal here? [00:40:57] Speaker B: I love how Baker was even calling that out this past weekend where he was like, you know. You know, back then, I'm the same way as I was when I was with Cleveland. I haven't changed. Back then, I was called immature. Now I have moxie just because we're winning. Like, there's no difference between who I am now. [00:41:15] Speaker C: Right. [00:41:16] Speaker B: And I think he's right. [00:41:17] Speaker C: The way he does, the way he. [00:41:19] Speaker B: Was viewed and treated there compared to at Tampa is very different. [00:41:23] Speaker C: It is. But winning covers up everything. Like, that's the thing. There are certain personalities. Russell Wilson is another great example where, like, when the team's winning, like, this is tolerated and it's cool, and he's a leader, but when the team is losing, everything he does is cringe. He's the same guy. But if the team is winning, this works. And Baker's kind of like that. Baker has a certain personality where I think, like, if the team is not doing well, Baker's going to rub a lot of people the wrong way. And a lot of his antics and his approach to the game is probably going to irritate people, but he's going to be beloved if the team is winning, because that sort of personality works on a winning team. I think that's how it goes for certain people. [00:42:05] Speaker A: I don't mean to be stuck on Natasha's question, but, I mean, what is it going to take? Would you. Would you rather have, by the way, try to be Natasha for a second? Would you? [00:42:14] Speaker B: This is actually really easy to Be because the lines were in this phase with Caldwell, the 100%. They were stuck in limbo. [00:42:22] Speaker A: So let me go down the path then. You're right. They have. They were stuck in this kind of spot of not being great but not being terrible enough to reset your franchise. Would you rather have Jaden Daniels as your or esque. Jaden Daniels esque Player. [00:42:39] Speaker C: Right. Yeah. The next guy. The next. Definitely a guy. [00:42:42] Speaker A: Or I guarantee you go to the Super Bowl. [00:42:45] Speaker B: I hate these guarantees, though. I'm being honest. I mean, this year, like anybody's going to take a. Guaranteed to go to a Super Bowl. I mean, that's kind of like a ridiculous question to me. Because what it really takes, if you're this. If you're a fan of a team and you're in limbo at some point, what you really want is I want my team to do something. I don't care what it is, but we need to reset. I remember when the Lions fired Caldwell, there was a lot of talking heads that hated that. They were like, what are you doing? You are firing your most winning as coach in Lions history for what you think you deserve more. Like, what are you doing? The same would be said about Tomlin here. [00:43:34] Speaker C: Right. [00:43:35] Speaker B: What are you doing? You're gonna fire one of your winningest coaches who's never had a losing record. He's won you two Super Bowls, and you're gonna fire him. And I'd be sitting there thinking, we need to do something different. I'm sick and tired of watching the same team year after year be relevant, but never good enough. Yeah, I want to watch my team do something. And yeah, you want to know what? You might get stuck with your Matt Patricia for a few years, but then you might get your Dan Campbell. [00:44:07] Speaker A: For the last 21 years, they haven't had to worry about having a great young quarterback. Because 21 years ago is when. With the 11th overall pick, the Steelers selected Ben Roethlisberger. Right. [00:44:20] Speaker C: Right. [00:44:20] Speaker A: So for 21 years, Natesh has been without hope. [00:44:25] Speaker C: Wow. That's an exaggeration. They had great seasons. [00:44:28] Speaker B: They had very good. [00:44:30] Speaker C: Not all of those 21 seasons were mediocre. Some of them were fantastic. Some of them. The team was really good. And they did go all the way, or at least most of the season. They felt like they could. [00:44:39] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:44:40] Speaker A: Spoiled fan. [00:44:42] Speaker C: Borderline. Yeah. Like, I'm not crying a river for the Natasha's of the world. I love the guy. [00:44:47] Speaker B: But if this is your Steelers fan. [00:44:49] Speaker C: And you're like, oh, man, mediocrity, that's like, yeah, yeah, come join the rest of us. [00:44:55] Speaker B: Above average, right? [00:44:58] Speaker A: Right. [00:44:59] Speaker B: If the worst your team has ever been is getting to the playoffs and getting bounced out, Let me. Let me tell you something. As a Lions fan, it can always be worse. Now, that doesn't mean you should settle for, like, the mediocrity because at some point, if I'm an owner, by the way, I would also be looking at this, like, if we're losing money off of this because people are no longer excited about your franchise. [00:45:27] Speaker C: Right. [00:45:27] Speaker B: Because you're not interesting. You're not doing much. Eventually they are going to be a shrinking franchise to where money actually starts becoming a bigger factor. Right. So, I don't know. [00:45:40] Speaker A: Shout out to Natasha. I didn't think that we would get that long on the Steelers question or take. [00:45:45] Speaker B: They're an interesting team, though, because they're in a really weird position where you don't. They're. It's really hard to know what to do. And I think you got to play out how this. The rest of the season goes because, man, like, who knows, Maybe they rifle off a winning streak in the playoffs. [00:46:03] Speaker C: I mean, they could end up as like the two or three seed in the NFL. I mean. I mean, afc, I should say. [00:46:08] Speaker B: AFC is wide open. We talked about this a couple weeks ago. Just how wide open that. That side of the aisle is because there's no real big contenders. I mean, the. I thought the Ravens and the Bills were going to be the big ones in the Chiefs, but Chiefs look like they're kind of, you know, good but vulnerable. The Ravens without Lamar are very, very bad. [00:46:32] Speaker A: You know, how about any biggest news we missed before we move on to our segment from you, Ian? [00:46:37] Speaker B: The Titans fired their head coach. I didn't even know his name. [00:46:42] Speaker A: You typed it. Do you still know what it is? [00:46:45] Speaker B: Don't look at it. Callahan is the only name I know. I don't even know his first name, though. [00:46:50] Speaker A: I bet it's Brian. He strikes me as a Brian. [00:46:52] Speaker C: I think it is Brian. [00:46:53] Speaker B: It actually might be. You looked. No. [00:46:56] Speaker A: Really? [00:46:57] Speaker C: You lied. [00:46:58] Speaker A: Not, by the way. Lock in. Whoa, hold on, hold on. How have we talked about this yet? We're gonna have something that probably has never happened next week. [00:47:07] Speaker C: What? [00:47:08] Speaker A: Revenge game for the one and only Variable Variable Going back to Tennessee, New Coach Bump. [00:47:16] Speaker C: Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. [00:47:18] Speaker A: Immovable objects meets unstoppable. [00:47:21] Speaker B: The new Coach Bump might be a big ask for this Titans team. They are very bad. [00:47:28] Speaker C: Maybe they've just been coached very poorly. [00:47:30] Speaker A: Did you hear? [00:47:31] Speaker B: I don't think a week is gonna change that, though. [00:47:34] Speaker A: Their quarterback, Cameron Ward, by the way, he doesn't go by Cam. He's made that a point. I don't want to be known as Cam. Cameron Ward. [00:47:42] Speaker B: That's like, okay, Tommy. Trying to change his name as an adult. What are you doing? Yeah, you're always calls him Cameron. [00:47:50] Speaker A: I'm calling Cameron. He said we are ass about two weeks. [00:47:54] Speaker B: Yeah. They. They got no stars over there. They got nothing over there. That team is bad. [00:48:01] Speaker A: Anything else worth talking about? Because they got one other point that we haven't talked about that I really actually want your guys's take on. [00:48:08] Speaker B: Well, the only other two things on here that we didn't really mention, one of which isn't really worth mentioning too much, is Zadaria Smith was retiring. [00:48:18] Speaker C: Why is that funny? He was a great player. [00:48:20] Speaker B: He was a good player, though. There was a lot. There was a lot of people that said the lines should have brought him back, and then they didn't. They put their money on Muhammad, which I think is paying out quite well. [00:48:32] Speaker C: That's fine. That's fine. He had a great career. [00:48:34] Speaker B: He did. Kind of weird to retire randomly in the middle of the season. [00:48:39] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:48:40] Speaker B: Yeah. You'd think you'd know that going into the season. [00:48:43] Speaker C: Yeah, I get it. [00:48:44] Speaker B: And then Niners lost another star player, Fred Warner. [00:48:49] Speaker C: Tragic loss. [00:48:50] Speaker B: This is a big one. He's only ever not played in one game. [00:48:54] Speaker A: Whoa. Didn't know that. [00:48:56] Speaker B: I didn't either. He's like an iron man for a linebacker. That feels like a lot. [00:49:00] Speaker A: That's unheard of, I feel. [00:49:01] Speaker B: I know. So this is kind of like a big deal. [00:49:04] Speaker C: I'm selling my Niner stock, and I didn't have any, but I would sell it. That defense was built around Fred Warner and Nick Bosa, and they're both gone. [00:49:14] Speaker B: Who did they. And they lost to Tampa. [00:49:17] Speaker C: The Lanterns are sunk. It's game over. [00:49:19] Speaker B: Yeah, they're. They've been the injury bug, man. Ah. It's what makes. I was actually thinking about this when I was watching the Lions with their secondary issues and like, last year with all their problems on injuries. I mean, like, it feels that's what makes the NFL very unique. Maybe not unique, but I feel like injuries hit NFL a lot harder than in other sports because of just how physical the game is. And the injuries tend to be longer. You have, like, lingering injuries throughout the year. [00:49:51] Speaker C: NBA is like that. NBA. You lose your guy, like. [00:49:54] Speaker B: Yeah, but how often are they going out? Like, how it's. And I don't this is an actual question because I don't watch often. [00:50:03] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, for sure. [00:50:05] Speaker A: I just think of like Drew Tranquil who plays for the Chiefs, and I mean, he's in and out and he's playing like two different positions sometimes. Sometimes he's playing linebacker, sometimes they move back to safety. Sometimes he's playing. [00:50:15] Speaker B: And yeah, I just like, it's so rough watching a sport where you're just beheld to the injuries, sometimes years. It's like, sometimes it's like out of your control. There's like nothing. [00:50:29] Speaker A: That's the Ravens, right? [00:50:30] Speaker B: Is there's nothing you can do about it and then your season's done. Like, how many times as a fan have you watched your quarterback. Have you watched your quarterback go down? And you're just like, well, there goes that season and it's like week five, right? Like, how many Ravens fans are already just like, well, there's that. So we're done. And even if they get Lamar back, that team is exposed as bad now. [00:50:54] Speaker C: I mean, it's true. It's true. [00:50:56] Speaker B: Just done pretty much sucks. [00:50:59] Speaker C: I know. [00:51:00] Speaker B: That sucks. [00:51:01] Speaker C: I know early in the season it sucks. It does. [00:51:04] Speaker B: It hurts. [00:51:05] Speaker A: Let's hear this last take I got before we move to your segment. Did you see the Dolphins yesterday? [00:51:11] Speaker B: No. [00:51:12] Speaker A: Dolphins lost to the Chargers, blew a game to them. And Tua at the microphone talked a lot about that. This loss should be blamed on leadership. Wow. [00:51:23] Speaker B: I feel like that's a first time for Tua. [00:51:25] Speaker A: First time for a lot of quarterbacks because one of the things he said was kind of stupid because he said, you know, in our players only meeting, there were players that were late to the players only meeting. People were asking, do I need to go to this? [00:51:41] Speaker C: What? [00:51:42] Speaker A: That's on players that are leading that. Do you know who led that? Tua and the other captains. So he's blaming himself, but he's trying. [00:51:52] Speaker B: To blame the coaches is what it sounds like. [00:51:55] Speaker C: When. So when he said leadership, he was implying, like the organizational leadership. [00:51:59] Speaker A: He implied player leadership. [00:52:02] Speaker C: Oh, so he's taking responsibility. [00:52:04] Speaker A: No. Didn't come off that way at all. [00:52:06] Speaker B: I'd have to watch the whole thing. [00:52:08] Speaker C: Okay. [00:52:09] Speaker B: The, the. The Dolphins are a crapshoot right now. They're terrible. Yes. Do you think you could ever win as a Dolphin? [00:52:21] Speaker C: What? [00:52:22] Speaker A: Say that again. [00:52:23] Speaker B: Do you think the Dolphins can ever, like, be great? [00:52:28] Speaker A: How could they not? [00:52:29] Speaker C: Why? Yeah, why do you. Why do you. [00:52:31] Speaker B: This has actually become a very big thing amongst players who have played there, and they talk a lot about the distractions in Miami are unlike almost any other place that they play at. [00:52:44] Speaker C: What? [00:52:45] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:52:46] Speaker C: Or some like Vegas or New York City. Vegas is it. [00:52:49] Speaker B: Vegas is new. Vegas is new. If you had to choose a place to go and hang out. Miami or New York? Miami. You can go down there. They got more clubs. [00:53:00] Speaker C: What are you talking about? We could go to Cleveland. Come on. [00:53:04] Speaker B: You're joking, right? This is again, and I'm not bringing this up because I feel this way. This is like an actual narrative that a lot of players have said, like, yeah, there's just a lot of distractions in Miami and how like, you know, how many of those players are not fully committed to the team and like the football when it's like, well, I got my guaranteed money. I'm already getting paid. I'm going to go club for like four hours. [00:53:34] Speaker A: I like that. As data, I just looked up ChatGPT and said how. What are the odds that the Dolphins would win a Super bowl within the next 10 years? They give it a 22 chance. [00:53:46] Speaker C: 22 in 10 years. [00:53:48] Speaker B: That's not great numbers. [00:53:49] Speaker C: I'm taking the under on that. [00:53:52] Speaker A: Okay. [00:53:53] Speaker B: All right. [00:53:53] Speaker A: You heard it here first. If they win a Super bowl, let's move to our weekly segment. Ian, you got some good stuff, stuff for us this week. I already am excited. [00:54:01] Speaker B: Yeah. So this was something that I was thinking about that I'm. We've talked about movies a couple times on here. [00:54:09] Speaker C: Okay. [00:54:10] Speaker A: Kyle always craps on me about movies because if there's one movie on here I've never seen, it's like all my movie reference and all my knowledge of movies. [00:54:19] Speaker C: This is true, exaggerated. [00:54:22] Speaker B: I'm not. I'm a. I. Between the three of us, I feel like I'm probably the biggest movie snob because I watch a lot of like, I will watch the Oscar, like nominated movies. I will go go out of my way to watch like some of those like artsier style movies. [00:54:40] Speaker A: Sometimes the Pianist. [00:54:43] Speaker B: I mean, I. Yes, it's a good movie. Like the Brutalist. I've seen that one. There's like all of those. Like, I really want to see the. [00:54:52] Speaker A: Come up with others. [00:54:53] Speaker C: Yeah, right. [00:54:55] Speaker A: Throwing darts at the wall, seeing what would stick. [00:54:57] Speaker B: But like, I, I like movies. It's like a thing I really enjoy. I like the stories. I like good acting. I like good, like, cinematography. We've talked about this on like our other pod, the Nerd Herd, when we've done this. [00:55:09] Speaker A: Make it nerdy, right? [00:55:10] Speaker B: Make it nerdy. [00:55:11] Speaker C: Subscribe. [00:55:12] Speaker B: Yeah, we haven't done an episode in a hot second, but yeah, but so I like movies and it got me thinking a little bit. Which sport has the better catalog of movies? Okay, now there's a lot of sports movies out there. There's like all time great movies like Miracle Rocky. These are all time great sports movies. So I wanted to kind of be more specific to two of like the genre. Like we're a football podcast. So football movies versus probably the other big category of sports movies. Baseball. [00:55:48] Speaker C: Oh, baseball, soccer. I was gonna say nascar. [00:55:53] Speaker B: Nascar. How many sports movies? [00:55:55] Speaker C: Talladega Nights. [00:55:57] Speaker A: If you're not first, your last. Right. [00:55:59] Speaker B: All right. The days of Days of Thunder. I can think of like Days of Thunders. [00:56:07] Speaker A: So Dukes of Hazzard. [00:56:09] Speaker B: Oh, I want to get your guys's opinion on which movie. [00:56:15] Speaker C: Reynolds one. When he's like racing across the. I feel so stupid. [00:56:19] Speaker A: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. Unchained. [00:56:24] Speaker C: No, you idiot. Smoking the Bandit. [00:56:27] Speaker A: I love doing this. People in there like close to a movie and I'm like, I give him a totally different movie. That's a new game. I like to play. Play. It's not new. Go ahead. Ian, can you break down some questions? [00:56:38] Speaker B: So this is just going to be. We're going to go through. And I tried to pin these movies up to comparably good movies in their, like, same like feel. Now this obviously not like a complete one to one here. [00:56:50] Speaker A: Got some bangers on here. [00:56:51] Speaker B: But there is. I tried to pick probably the biggest highlights of both baseball and football movies and pin them head to head on which movie you would take so who would win. And at the end we're going to see based on our answers, like which movie has. Which sport has the better catalog of movies in this like, small sample size. I'm, I'm not. I'm going to save a couple is. I'm going to go in kind of random order here. So don't like judge based on the order here, but we will start with the first one on the list, which is, you know, like child movies. We're going to come out swinging and no, no pun intended here. [00:57:26] Speaker A: Hit me with it. [00:57:27] Speaker B: But this is a big one. Sandlot. You're killing versus little versus Little Giants. [00:57:33] Speaker C: This is a good matchup. [00:57:34] Speaker A: Big one. The annexation of Puerto Rico. The stickum. [00:57:38] Speaker B: I know which one I would pick, but I'm not voting here. So it's you two. You gotta come up with a consent. [00:57:43] Speaker A: Time so we can't influence each other. [00:57:45] Speaker C: And do what you're asking us to vote or debate or what. We got to pick the winner. [00:57:49] Speaker B: You guys get to choose. If you. Between these two movies, which one is the better movie. [00:57:53] Speaker C: You've probably seen them both more recently than me. That was true for every one of these movies. But I'll. I'm gonna cast my vote. [00:58:03] Speaker A: I have mine. [00:58:04] Speaker C: I'm going Little Giants. [00:58:05] Speaker A: I'm going little Giants, too. [00:58:06] Speaker C: Oh, okay. Thank you. [00:58:07] Speaker A: The dad knit Love Spike. [00:58:10] Speaker C: Isn't it Rick Moranis? Yeah. [00:58:12] Speaker A: From Honey I Shook My Kids Classic. [00:58:14] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:58:15] Speaker A: Great. Love Spike. Love the girl that comes out and kisses the quarterback and then goes out and dominates. [00:58:21] Speaker C: Yeah. I do feel like it's an all around entertaining. [00:58:24] Speaker B: It's a great movie. It's a great movie. I really. I would have probably gone sandlot. I really like a lot growing up. [00:58:30] Speaker C: As a kid, so I remember watching it was very little and being scared. [00:58:33] Speaker A: Babe Ruth, too, at the end. [00:58:36] Speaker C: I don't remember. [00:58:36] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah. He, like, gives them the ball. [00:58:39] Speaker A: They hit the ball. [00:58:40] Speaker B: Yeah. He's with the big dog. [00:58:42] Speaker A: With Cujo. [00:58:42] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:58:43] Speaker C: All right. [00:58:44] Speaker A: By the way, this one I'm gonna get some real hate for. [00:58:47] Speaker B: Which one? I'm not going in order. I'm not going in order. [00:58:50] Speaker C: All right, hit us with the next one. [00:58:51] Speaker B: All right, the next one. Because I want to save some of these matchups for last because they're bigger. They're bigger matchups. All right. The Rookie versus Draft Day. [00:59:00] Speaker C: Oh, man. [00:59:01] Speaker B: Not like they're not relatively big movies in their category, but they were like, good movies. I enjoyed both. [00:59:09] Speaker A: And I want that kick returner. [00:59:12] Speaker C: Okay. [00:59:12] Speaker A: Bo Callahan. [00:59:13] Speaker C: I'm leaning Draft Day. [00:59:15] Speaker A: How many people went to your birthday party? [00:59:16] Speaker C: I mean, I liked the rookie. I like the rookie. I think that was a cool. [00:59:19] Speaker B: It was a good, like, fun movie feel. [00:59:21] Speaker A: Good movie. [00:59:21] Speaker B: True story. True story. [00:59:23] Speaker C: But I love the GM stuff. Like, I'm a sucker for this sort of thing. Like this look at, like, it's not about playing football. There's no. There's no football games played. Hold on. It's all about the rookie business stuff. [00:59:34] Speaker A: He was throwing the balls against the fence and the thing said 88. And then he walks away. [00:59:42] Speaker C: I remember that scene. [00:59:43] Speaker B: It was great. [00:59:44] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:59:45] Speaker B: I feel like my personal problem with Draft Day was when it came out because they were following the Browns in the movie, and the Browns were awful. That was the Lions at that point in time. When the movie came out, it would have been a joke, too. [01:00:02] Speaker A: Would you have liked it more if. [01:00:04] Speaker B: I probably would have loved it. [01:00:08] Speaker C: Right. [01:00:08] Speaker B: But it was because it was the Browns and I would just remember watching. I'm like what? But it actually made it more believable because they were picking like, number one. [01:00:17] Speaker A: Overall, so that's fair. [01:00:19] Speaker C: Two for two. We're going with the football option. [01:00:20] Speaker B: All right. We're going draft day. [01:00:22] Speaker A: I'm going with the rookie. [01:00:24] Speaker C: Are you really? [01:00:24] Speaker A: I like the rookie more. I love the nostalgic of that. [01:00:27] Speaker C: Okay. [01:00:28] Speaker A: The dad. I love that. [01:00:29] Speaker B: Do I get. [01:00:30] Speaker A: Can I coach? [01:00:31] Speaker C: Okay. You got to break the time. [01:00:32] Speaker A: Am I. I would go break the time. [01:00:33] Speaker B: I would go. The rookie. [01:00:35] Speaker A: Wow. [01:00:35] Speaker C: Okay. All right. All right. [01:00:37] Speaker B: Dennis Quaid was great. [01:00:38] Speaker C: He was. [01:00:38] Speaker B: I like the true story aspect of it. I really like that. [01:00:42] Speaker A: That's two for me, Kyle. [01:00:45] Speaker B: Angels in the Outfield. [01:00:46] Speaker A: Oh, boy. [01:00:47] Speaker B: All time classic. Angels in the outfield versus Friday Night Lights 100. [01:00:51] Speaker C: Angels in the Outfield, hands down. [01:00:52] Speaker A: Booby Miles. [01:00:53] Speaker B: Booby Miles. [01:00:56] Speaker A: The angry dad. [01:00:58] Speaker B: I love Run catch, man. [01:01:02] Speaker C: That that movie was on the outfield is important to me. That is. [01:01:06] Speaker B: It's a great movie. [01:01:07] Speaker C: Fantastic. [01:01:08] Speaker A: Seen it once. Didn't like it. [01:01:10] Speaker C: Christopher Lloyd. [01:01:11] Speaker A: Matthew McConaughey doesn't do much for me. Christopher Lloyd. [01:01:14] Speaker B: Matthew McConaughey was in Angels in the Outfield? [01:01:17] Speaker C: Yeah, dude. No, dude. I mean, Donald Glover had a studded cat like Joseph Gordon Levitt. [01:01:22] Speaker B: I mean, I remember that. [01:01:24] Speaker C: Who's the other guy? I can't remember the guy who was in the thing. [01:01:31] Speaker B: Fast. In the Or Fast and Furious? [01:01:32] Speaker C: No. [01:01:33] Speaker B: Back to the Future. [01:01:35] Speaker C: No, that's Christopher Lloyd. [01:01:36] Speaker B: Christopher. Oh, yeah. [01:01:37] Speaker C: I'm talking about the other guy. Was it Wasn't he in, like, the. Never mind, never mind. We're not gonna do this. Not gonna do. But anyway, Angels in the Outfield, not just because of the stars, but just like. That was a beautiful movie. That was awesome. [01:01:50] Speaker B: It was a great movie. I, I. The amount of times I will wave my. I'll lift my arms during I need. [01:01:57] Speaker C: Oh, man, when we were kids, we were quoting that thing all the time. [01:02:00] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm sets. [01:02:01] Speaker C: I'm gonna give it to Angels in the Outfield sets again. [01:02:03] Speaker B: Oh, yes. [01:02:04] Speaker C: Oh, man, I love this movie so much. [01:02:06] Speaker A: Do it for me. [01:02:07] Speaker C: I can't wait to watch it with my kids. [01:02:09] Speaker A: All right. [01:02:10] Speaker B: 42 versus the longest yard. [01:02:13] Speaker A: Which longest yard? That's a better question. [01:02:16] Speaker B: I'll let you decide. [01:02:17] Speaker A: Marshall one is so good. [01:02:19] Speaker B: Adam Sandler one. I got the fries that'll cross your eyes. [01:02:22] Speaker A: I got the shakes that make you quick. [01:02:24] Speaker B: I got the burgers. [01:02:25] Speaker A: I just got burgers I actually did like. [01:02:28] Speaker C: You ready? [01:02:28] Speaker B: The Adam Sandler one was fun to watch. [01:02:31] Speaker C: I think I did see that but it didn't stay with me. [01:02:35] Speaker A: 42 was good. I thought that Chadwick Boseman did a great job. [01:02:39] Speaker B: He was great. What's the guy? Oh, he plays like. [01:02:44] Speaker A: Isn't Dennis Quaid in that? The manager, too? [01:02:47] Speaker B: There was someone like Tudyk, who's the guy who plays. [01:02:53] Speaker C: Man, we're so good at this. [01:02:55] Speaker B: He was in Firefly. I love that he's the voice of the robot in Rogue One. [01:03:02] Speaker C: Shoot, man, I don't know. [01:03:03] Speaker B: Oh, I can't remember his name. He's one of the baseball managers, though. And he has to play like a racist in it, though. [01:03:10] Speaker C: Okay. [01:03:10] Speaker B: And I remember there was an interview with him specifically about it, and he said it was a really hard scene to film. [01:03:19] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [01:03:19] Speaker B: Because. Yeah. You were giving me a look. Like I said his name, I just. [01:03:24] Speaker A: Didn'T know the name. [01:03:26] Speaker C: Okay. [01:03:26] Speaker B: So. But he. He talked a lot about how hard it was to do that scene because of, like, how bigoted and racist. Yeah. You had to be awful. [01:03:36] Speaker C: Right? Right. [01:03:38] Speaker A: I'm voting longest yard. [01:03:40] Speaker C: All right, I can get down with that. [01:03:41] Speaker A: Thank you. [01:03:42] Speaker C: Let's go. [01:03:42] Speaker A: Okay. [01:03:43] Speaker B: August yard was a great. [01:03:45] Speaker A: Good ones on here, we need to argue about. [01:03:47] Speaker B: All right, we're gonna get to the big ones here. [01:03:50] Speaker A: Somebody say this the Big three. [01:03:51] Speaker B: The. I think these are the three best well known baseball and football movies. [01:03:59] Speaker C: Come on, give it. [01:04:00] Speaker B: Okay, okay. First one, league of their own versus any given Sunday. [01:04:04] Speaker A: Any given Sunday. 10 days of the week. Twice on Sunday. I know. There's only seven days in the week. Willie Frickin, Beeman, LL Cool J, the Inches. [01:04:17] Speaker C: Okay. [01:04:18] Speaker A: Come on. Al Pacino. [01:04:20] Speaker C: I don't tell anybody, but I haven't seen either. [01:04:25] Speaker A: You're amazing. [01:04:27] Speaker B: Any Given Sunday is probably one of the best football movies out there. [01:04:30] Speaker C: Okay. [01:04:30] Speaker B: It's definitely highly regarded. [01:04:32] Speaker A: You should watch it. Come over to my house. [01:04:34] Speaker C: I like the premise of League of Their Own, but I didn't watch the movie. [01:04:39] Speaker B: It was good. I mean, I enjoyed it, but, yeah. [01:04:41] Speaker A: Do it for me. [01:04:42] Speaker B: Any given Sunday. Field of Dreams classic. This is probably the quintessential baseball movie. [01:04:48] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:04:49] Speaker B: Versus Rudy. Another quintessential football movie. [01:04:54] Speaker A: All right. This is where I knew I was going to get unpopular ready. Never seen a Field of Dreams. And I think Rudy sucks. And I love Notre Dame. Rudy's about a player that was a snitch that played one play and got a tackle. So many more players deserve a movie besides him, but it's draped in Notre Dame, so I kind of have to like it. [01:05:18] Speaker C: I don't have to like Anything I don't really like. I don't think that that's a good take. I don't think that that's a good representation of the story. And I don't think that that's the point of the story. And I think it's actually a beautiful, touching, very well done. [01:05:33] Speaker B: It's a very well motivating type of movie. Like in a box. [01:05:37] Speaker C: It's. That's. I feel like that take is missing the point of Rudy quite dramatically. And it's. [01:05:44] Speaker A: I'm not dramatic. [01:05:45] Speaker C: It's a beautiful movie. It's a beautiful, touching, gripping movie that'll make you cry. [01:05:50] Speaker B: Field of Dreams. Classic. [01:05:52] Speaker C: I do not like downloading that and putting that second, because that's. That's also. [01:05:56] Speaker B: They're both very good movies. [01:05:58] Speaker C: Stunning. But I. I go, Rudy, because I think that that's better cinema. To me, I think that that's actually a superior film. Taking you on an emotional journey. Field of Dreams is cool. Is very good. It's worth a watch. I think everybody should watch Vaughn, by. [01:06:16] Speaker A: The way, in Rudy. Great. [01:06:17] Speaker B: Wow. Oh, he is in that. [01:06:19] Speaker C: Oh, gosh. [01:06:21] Speaker B: Now, maybe Field of Dreams should have gone up against this other movie, but I couldn't figure out which one. [01:06:25] Speaker A: I could argue about both sides here. Hit us with Idan. [01:06:27] Speaker B: I. Okay, so it's Moneyball versus Remember the Titans, dude. [01:06:33] Speaker C: Moneyball. [01:06:34] Speaker B: Moneyball. [01:06:34] Speaker A: One of the funnest movies. [01:06:36] Speaker B: Love Moneyball. [01:06:37] Speaker C: I love money. [01:06:37] Speaker A: I love the meme of, like. This is Quentin Johnson. He's 6 5, yeah. £245, fast as anybody. He only has one problem. He can't catch. [01:06:49] Speaker C: Right. [01:06:49] Speaker A: Let's draft him as a wide receiver. The memes of that is great. [01:06:53] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:06:53] Speaker A: I love the breakdown of what behind the scenes. [01:06:55] Speaker C: I love it. I love it. The. The, you know, very. It's not that hard. It's incredibly hard. [01:07:02] Speaker A: I love drafting him. He gets on base. [01:07:05] Speaker B: I love the. The scene where he's just like. They're in the meeting and they're talking about like that. Like what? Like, what are we doing? And he snaps his finger and points to the guy and he's like. [01:07:15] Speaker A: He gets on base. [01:07:16] Speaker B: On base. [01:07:17] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:07:17] Speaker B: And the very end of the movie. [01:07:19] Speaker A: What about trade, by the way, before you get to the end the trade where he trades somebody and then he hangs up on him and he goes. I think he was going to say something. He goes, you always hang up when they say yes. Yeah, I think that's such a great line. Oh, I love it all the time at work, like, somebody says yes. And I go, boop, click, hang up. They're like, hey, you hung up on me. I'm like, always hang up when someone. [01:07:37] Speaker B: Says, remember the Titans. If I had to pick a football movie that is like, who the best football movie ever made, it would probably be this one. [01:07:48] Speaker C: It's a great movie. I love it. [01:07:50] Speaker A: It's very well done back then and still probably to this day, very relevant. [01:07:55] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:07:56] Speaker A: Goes through on throughout our country. The only problem part of Bertier and that I'll say my issue of it is that they actually beat the dog. I was gonna say win a triple reverse backside, GA three double reverse on one. On one. They won. I think they gave up like seven points the entire season. [01:08:20] Speaker B: Yeah, they were brutally good. [01:08:22] Speaker A: So that's one part. But I do, I do love Denzel in it. [01:08:27] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:08:28] Speaker A: The scenes of him being a coach behind the scenes and, you know, bringing. [01:08:33] Speaker B: That team together is a very, like, good, well written. [01:08:37] Speaker A: When elastic goes up there goes, I know you wanna hurt me. [01:08:41] Speaker C: I mean, Denzel's had a lot of great roles in his career, but that's one that just feels like only he could do that or like he does that better than anybody could like that role, you know? [01:08:51] Speaker A: Tell me I am your daddy. [01:08:58] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:08:58] Speaker A: I'm going for the Titans. It's my number one sports movie. [01:09:02] Speaker C: That's a great choice. I can't really argue with that. I. I'm. As I said before with Draft Day, like, I'm a sucker for the business stuff, for the back room, for the deal. Moneyball is straight up my alley. Like, that's. [01:09:15] Speaker B: Moneyball is more rewatchable to me and. [01:09:18] Speaker A: It'S in the sheets. Oh, I've watched Remember the Titans way more than I love them. I. I probably watch Remember the titans at least 30 times in my life all the way through Holy moly easily. [01:09:28] Speaker B: Either way, we can go. We'll. I. You're gonna say Moneyball then, Kyle. Yeah, I'm gonna say Moneyball. So we'll give it to them. It doesn't matter. Either way. Football movies win. Ah, four to three. Very close. Take that. [01:09:41] Speaker A: The strike after. [01:09:42] Speaker C: Wow. [01:09:43] Speaker B: Very close. Now they're granted. There are some movies I left out here I didn't leave. I didn't put in Major league for Baseball because I didn't know. I didn't know how much, like, if either of you had actually watched like, those. But I really. [01:09:56] Speaker A: Kyle loves movies. [01:09:57] Speaker B: I love Charlie Sheen in Major League Charlie. He's so funny. He's so good. [01:10:03] Speaker A: So. [01:10:03] Speaker B: And then there was a couple of Football movies. I was like, I don't know. I purposefully left out the Blind side. [01:10:10] Speaker C: I was going to say because of. [01:10:11] Speaker B: All of the information that came out after the fact. I was like, I can't. This movie's trash now. Now. [01:10:16] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:10:16] Speaker B: Because it's complete lies and it glorifies them way too much. [01:10:20] Speaker C: Right, right. [01:10:21] Speaker B: And the other side of was We Are Marshall. Oh, I thought that was a very good movie too. [01:10:28] Speaker C: Okay. Yeah, but it's very. Clooney did like an old school football movie, Leatherheads, didn't he? [01:10:35] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, that had a guy from the Office in it too. Krasinski. [01:10:40] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, right, right. [01:10:41] Speaker B: I think he was in that too. [01:10:42] Speaker C: Okay. Did you guys watch Rookie of the Year when you were kids? [01:10:44] Speaker A: Love that movie. The throw him the big cheese. [01:10:48] Speaker C: Isn't that the pitcher's got a big butt one. All of us in the playground when we were kids were saying that there's. [01:10:55] Speaker A: When the guy gets stuck in between the hotel doors and he's stuck and he's like, someone help me. [01:11:01] Speaker C: Oh, my gosh. The 90s were the best. The glory years. [01:11:06] Speaker B: A lot of good, to be fair. [01:11:08] Speaker C: Oh, gosh. [01:11:08] Speaker A: Friday Night Lights. The show, by the way, needs to be said in this, like, to be fair. Come on. One of the greatest. [01:11:17] Speaker B: It's a good show. [01:11:18] Speaker A: It's way better than the movie, too. You haven't seen it, have you? [01:11:21] Speaker C: No, of course not. [01:11:22] Speaker B: I think I preferred the movie more than the show. [01:11:25] Speaker A: What about Water Boy. [01:11:28] Speaker C: Blues? [01:11:29] Speaker B: I had Varsity Blues on here initially, but I just didn't know if people had watched it because I was dudes. Airbud. Is basketball invincible? Invincible. Vince Lally. What about that Kurt Warner movie, Underdog? Yeah, no, thank you. [01:11:50] Speaker A: It wasn't very good. [01:11:51] Speaker B: I just thought it would be fun to go through some. Some movies that. And I personally picked these ones as like, movies that I know that I grew up watching, I. That I loved love it. So I thought it was just something different. [01:12:03] Speaker A: I appreciate it, by the way. One that we didn't have. The story of Ernie Davis. The Express. [01:12:09] Speaker C: Okay. [01:12:09] Speaker A: Really like that movie back in the day. I used to watch that quite a bit into. Wait, we forgot one with the Rock. Gridiron Gangs. You ever watched that movie with him? [01:12:24] Speaker B: I've only seen it once. [01:12:25] Speaker A: Great movie. [01:12:25] Speaker B: Oh, we forgot the game plan with the Rock. [01:12:28] Speaker A: Oh, the game plan. That'd be a good one. What's so funny? Trouble with the curve. [01:12:33] Speaker B: I was. I was joking. All right, let's do hard ball. Hard ball, hardball. [01:12:38] Speaker A: Keanu Reeves. [01:12:39] Speaker B: There Was the replacements too. [01:12:42] Speaker A: Oh, the replacement. I love you, Ian. [01:12:45] Speaker C: Our fantasy league is still being dominated by Ian up on top leading very with a commanding lead. [01:12:54] Speaker B: Not even my best weekend by the way. I had scatter boo on the about. [01:12:59] Speaker C: To make an even bigger step four because you are currently tied with Addison who's going to lose to me right now. [01:13:06] Speaker B: Look at you. [01:13:07] Speaker C: And Ian is going to win to step ahead to be the only five and one team in our fantasy league. [01:13:12] Speaker B: That's right, baby. That's all that matters. [01:13:14] Speaker C: We've got Simon and G actually right after Addison. So G is in fourth place. I don't know if he's about to win today. Marshall's there. I'm way down. I'm about to go 500. [01:13:29] Speaker B: We're at Tim Dewitt. We need to. We need. You need help. One and four. That's not good. [01:13:36] Speaker A: Yeah, she's about to lose. Yeah, to Ian. [01:13:40] Speaker C: Marshall is stepping up. [01:13:41] Speaker B: Sorry. [01:13:42] Speaker C: Taking down Simon. [01:13:43] Speaker A: Take it Simon. [01:13:45] Speaker C: Most of our league is going to be three and three at the end of the day. [01:13:47] Speaker A: I took The Reedsman's out. I'm 20 against Reeds. Reedsman's are going down. [01:13:53] Speaker C: That's right. [01:13:53] Speaker A: Let's talk about our picks though, guys. Our picks are guaranteed lock of the week. Team that will win. Kyle, you've sucked at this. You've been three and three. [01:14:01] Speaker B: Yeah, I haven't been very good at them either. [01:14:03] Speaker A: Six zero, Ian four two. Right. [01:14:08] Speaker B: I had two losses. [01:14:10] Speaker A: That would be four and two. Good job. Let's hear your lock. Ian, who do you got this week? I was very intrigued when I saw I was a little upset because I was going to take him as my lock. [01:14:18] Speaker B: Oh yeah. Patriots over the Titans hammering the. [01:14:22] Speaker A: You're on the Pat's wagon, huh? [01:14:23] Speaker B: I. I said at the beginning of the year, baby, that I was. I believed that they were going to be a playoff team. I feel even more validated by the way they've been playing and they're going up against a really bad Titans team. I do not believe in the coach jump dumper Rooney here. Whatever it is. The new coach bump dumper. The new. The new coach dump bump. You mean dump. Because that's what the Titans are going to do. They're going to take a big steaming dump. [01:14:53] Speaker A: Gotcha. [01:14:54] Speaker C: Okay. [01:14:54] Speaker B: Because they are. [01:14:56] Speaker A: How about you, Kyle? [01:14:57] Speaker C: I'm locking in a bounce back for the Eagles. They're not going to lose three straight. Come on, get out of here. They're going to take down the Vikings. [01:15:05] Speaker B: Coming off a buy too by the Way here. [01:15:07] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:15:08] Speaker B: So risky move. [01:15:09] Speaker A: I don't know. Philly's been a hard city to live in after the Philly. After the Philadelphia Phillies blew it. [01:15:14] Speaker B: Oh, that's bad. That's bad. [01:15:18] Speaker A: To the one and only Dodgers, of all people. [01:15:19] Speaker C: Watch your lock. [01:15:21] Speaker A: Okay. My lock is the Packers. [01:15:23] Speaker C: Thank you. [01:15:23] Speaker B: Who are the packers playing? Arizona. Can we talk about Arizona? [01:15:28] Speaker A: Gosh, he's got four more quarterback stinks left in his life for sure. [01:15:33] Speaker B: At some point we need to talk about the Colts. Whether we like them or not, by the way. [01:15:37] Speaker C: Give them. Let's do another. Let's wait another week. [01:15:39] Speaker B: They actually are starting to hit. [01:15:45] Speaker A: You're amazing. [01:15:46] Speaker B: They're gonna have. They're gonna. They're gonna have some games coming up. I think they are officially starting the grind of some of their bigger games. So I feel like you're amazing. Kyle. In a couple weeks, we actually will be able to tell whether or not Indy is going to be good or not. [01:16:01] Speaker C: Yeah. Six weeks. [01:16:02] Speaker B: Speaking of which, I'm taking. Speaking of which, I'm taking Indy over the Chargers. [01:16:06] Speaker C: Wow. [01:16:07] Speaker B: Well, it's because the Chargers, I just. They're a little banged up. They don't really have much of a run game going on and I don't know. [01:16:16] Speaker A: Thank you. [01:16:16] Speaker B: That's all I got. [01:16:17] Speaker A: Thank you for not knowing. [01:16:18] Speaker B: It's one of the closest lines. It feels like it's a good one to take. [01:16:21] Speaker A: I'm going against Miami. Miami is playing Cleveland. Cleveland is my upset. [01:16:26] Speaker C: Cleveland. Wow. Dylan. Gabriel Gay. [01:16:28] Speaker B: Do you think if Miami loses that game that McDaniels is fired? After that. [01:16:35] Speaker A: One can only pray if. [01:16:36] Speaker C: It'S a bad loss. I mean, the Browns have not scored more than 17 points in a game this season. [01:16:42] Speaker B: Browns are free falling into a Bolivian. Their team is so bad. Yeah, they suck. [01:16:47] Speaker C: How many times have we said that about this game? How many teams have you said that about this game? [01:16:51] Speaker B: Like, I feel very strong. [01:16:55] Speaker C: Had a lot of teams come up and we get. We get Ian and say they suck. Just on record. [01:17:00] Speaker A: Well, you know that's gonna be the title of this pot episode. [01:17:04] Speaker B: They suck. [01:17:06] Speaker A: How about your upset pick? [01:17:07] Speaker C: My upset? I think that the Falcons are gonna upset those Niners. Falcons are. I can't believe themselves right now. [01:17:14] Speaker A: And the Niners, they're the underdog. [01:17:16] Speaker C: Niners have no defense. [01:17:19] Speaker B: See if they see the Falcons pull out this win tonight. By the time you're. By the time you're listening to this, viewers, you are going to know whether or not Atlanta's the real deal. [01:17:33] Speaker C: Yeah. Okay.
