This episode kicks off with a bold exploration of the highs and lows surrounding the end of the regular season, particularly zeroing in on the Raiders' tumultuous journey and their significant 1,000th home game. We get real about the fan experience and the looming cloud of coaching changes, with Antonio Pierce’s future hanging in the balance. What does the fate of a coach hinge on, if not the prowess of their quarterback? Join us as we navigate the controversial waters of coaching futures, dissecting the strategic implications for teams like the Jets, Bears, and Cowboys, and the potential ripple effects of past management decisions.
Moving into playoff territory, the conversation pivots to an analysis of team dynamics and seeding conundrums.

that's too bad for everybody that just listens. I can't see how handsome we all are.
Speaker 2:I know I'm sure, I'm sure they all still have a favorite, though it's true by handsome he means we had our hands up, so yeah, covering our ugly faces yes, covering, covering their ugly faces jack knows his lips. Jack knows his lips are his best feature, so that's why he covered everything up but his lips.
Speaker 3:We all know his lips are his best feature, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:So I keep the goatee.
Speaker 2:How are y'all feeling?
Speaker 3:about the end of the NFL regular season. I mean obviously the Raiders.
Speaker 1:How y'all feeling about the end of the NFL regular season. I mean, obviously the Raiders weren't going nowhere, but we went to the game today. It was the 1,000th home game in franchise history.
Speaker 3:Oh, that means swag.
Speaker 1:No, you give a shit what? No towels, no keychains.
Speaker 2:No shirt Wow.
Speaker 3:You know what, though? That's good, y'all saving your money to get those free agents Right Raiders.
Speaker 1:They did give us 25% off in the store, though.
Speaker 2:You think they're going to bring Pierce back for next year?
Speaker 3:Hell no.
Speaker 1:No, I'm surprised he's not fired yet. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:They already gave a guy walking papers, right yeah.
Speaker 3:Mayo with the patriots. Yeah, they said bye, but, dude, he got one year. That was planned. That was planned in december, though, so there was some. There was some inter-office issues, so he was already planning to be out in december.
Speaker 2:So he was hired right or was he in an interim both I think, I don't know. I don't know if a year is long enough to give a coach a chance to turn things around. You know?
Speaker 3:it depends like again, we don't know what the interoffice politics. From what I'm hearing, that was the issue, not his coach.
Speaker 1:So and if you go that way, they might keep pierce. Like you said earlier, lou, they didn't give him a quarterback yet, so yeah, that's my thing.
Speaker 3:I I think they will fire him. I don't think they should fire.
Speaker 2:I think they need to give him a quarterback, see what he can do in a real team, and then give you know, make your decision, because that's crap and I and I and I think there's the other part of it too is that you have to look at what the event like, what market for coaches is available, because if there's nobody out there that you want to bring in, why let the guy go that you already have? That's true If none of the guys that have been talked about, the three or four coaches that have been talked about being brought on as head coaches. None of them are ones that you want to bring in because they don't fit what you're.
Speaker 3:Maybe Because sometimes any change is better than running in place, that's true too, if it's a worse change, it's a worse change If you know that coaching it gets you better.
Speaker 3:But again, you've got to have players. Any coach that gets fired that did not have players, that's a bullshit move by the GMs and owners. The moment you give me what is it like Bill Parcells? You know, if you want me to make the dinner, you've got to let me buy the ingredients. Okay, you're not the GM, so you can't buy the ingredients, but at least give me good ingredients.
Speaker 2:Give me the shopping list. Yeah, work with me to get good ingredients yeah, work with me to get good ingredients.
Speaker 3:Hey, I need this, this and this. Okay, I need a quarterback, a safety and a center. Okay, great, here is a tight end, a wide receiver and a running back. That does not help.
Speaker 1:I do not accept these substitutes.
Speaker 3:Right, it's such crap.
Speaker 1:Cancel my order.
Speaker 3:We'll see what happens. Obviously, the Bears are already looking for a coach. They fired theirs a while ago.
Speaker 2:And the Jets, because I heard the Jets were interviewing Rex Ryan again. I'm like wait a second. You're going to run it back with him again, Like come on.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think Salah got fired in like week five or something like that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they've been intern coaching for a while, and the Bears are in the same boat.
Speaker 3:So yeah. So Black Friday we'll hit. Tomorrow We'll see who else gets the ax. I don't know. I need to list in front of me to see like who's. Let me pull it up to see like which teams. How bad we're like. Who has the top picks? The Browns they're not firing their coach. Let's hear that right now. Stefanski is a good coach. He just got stuck with that Deshaun Watson deal.
Speaker 3:And that was a GM thing Right, yeah, that wasn't even. The owner basically pushed the GM to do it. So it's like, and I guess that's.
Speaker 2:Go ahead Sorry.
Speaker 3:The Jets will need a coach, the Patriots that's two Dolphins. Maybe there's rumors that Mike McDaniel will get fired. Let's see. Baltimore no Pittsburgh, no Cincy, no Cleveland, no Houston, no Indy. Doubtful that they fire their coach. Jacksonville, maybe, Tennessee no way, they have the number one pick. They have a decent coach in Callahan, so Tennessee's not firing their coach.
Speaker 2:You get Will Levis another year. Hell no.
Speaker 3:You have the number one pick you go get Shador or you go get Ward. Levis is done, he was not good. I don't care how much mayo you freaking eat, it's not going to work. Chiefs no. Chargers no Broncos no Raiders. Probably Eagles no Commandgers no Broncos, no Raiders, probably Eagles. No Commanders, definitely no Cowboys. That's different. It's not really a firing because his contract is up, so that would just be a non-renewal of his contract. But the Cowboys I can't imagine they're going to keep McCarthy.
Speaker 2:Being an NFC North guy, I really want Mike McCarthy to come coach the Bears, because that would just be hilarious, because Mike McCarthy is a terrible coach.
Speaker 3:Exactly. I still say the dude from the Lions, ben Johnson, is going to the Bears. That Lions offensive coordinator, what he could do with that offense, as long as they get him an offensive line. So just draft line this season or bring in free agents from the line, because you have all the damn weapons, and then that coach what he could do with Caleb, the way he did with Jared Goff. So it was like, yeah, send his ass to Chicago and then the entire NFC North will be in the playoffs for the next five years. Craziness. Tampa, they're not firing anybody. Atlanta nope. Carolina I don't know, I don't know who the coach is in Carolina. Saints probably should fire somebody, but they won't. Rams nope. Seahawks nope. Cardinals nope. Niners nope. There's probably going to be seven job openings when all is said and done. It'll be interesting. Craziness, right. And then I'm not going to deal with another week of the frickin' Broncos, although they are playing the Bills.
Speaker 3:Yeah, shut out against practice squad players. Good job, Broncos. And because of that, the idiots out here will think they have a chance to win the Super Bowl and beat the Bills.
Speaker 1:I already saw that they said oh, you guys were hating on Bo Nix.
Speaker 3:They're already doing it.
Speaker 1:Look at him now.
Speaker 2:Oh my God. Look at him now.
Speaker 3:Yeah, look at him now, man, you're a bunch of college kids. You played against paper.
Speaker 2:How are you feeling about the Steelers man with the four losses rolling into the playoffs? That's rough.
Speaker 3:Oh, the Steelers don't have a quarterback. So I said that at the beginning. I was like oh Russell's, this Russell's, that I'm like. When this all first happened in the offseason, I said Steelers will not get anywhere with Russell Wilson, and the same thing. They have a chance. The funny thing, though, is I'm not certain he's 100% the problem, the way I thought he was going to be.
Speaker 3:The defense the last five weeks has collapsed, don't get me wrong. They held Burrow, and Burrow was fighting for a playoff spot. They needed to win yesterday and then hope the Broncos lost today and the Dolphins lost today. So they did their job. They were trying, and they only got 19 points. So the Steelers stepped it up, but you can't just score 17. Man, this is the playoffs man. Your defense ain't good enough to score just 17.
Speaker 3:I don't know that there's any team in the playoffs right now whose defense is good enough that 17 points will get you a win. I mean it's just Chiefs. It might Maybe. I mean maybe. Again, matchups matter, right. I think Buffalo goes in and wins like 34 to 10. So they may hold the Broncos down, but the Broncos will get good. I'm not going to lie. I mean they've got the pieces there, they're just not there. They don't have awesome wide receivers. Their running back room is garbage. Offensive line is probably the reason why they're still in this. If Caleb Williams had freaking Denver's offensive line, they might have been a playoff team. Would have been tough, though man Washington 12-5 as the wild card.
Speaker 2:Fuck the other wild card 14 and 3, the last wild card 11 and 6 is like the only the only 14 win team to ever be a wild card wild card, I mean the three wild cards.
Speaker 3:All their records are better than two division champs, yeah, better than tampa, better than the rams and and there's. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those who's like, oh no, they need to do the reseeding. And and if you win your, if you've got a better record than the division winner, you should get the home game. No f that just because, just because that that's how it played out doesn't mean that they're bad. It just has sometimes. Just you get you get everybody's other up.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you beat each other up and all that shit.
Speaker 3:So I was like no, I'm not gonna jump on that bandwagon. People are like oh, that's not fair, that that 14 and 3 minnesota has to go to 10 and 7 uh rams.
Speaker 2:It's like yes, it is and the rant, like the entire nfc west, has been a mess all season. That entire division Injuries. Any of those teams could have came out and been 10-7. There's nothing. In my opinion. There's not that much of a difference between the Rams and say the Seahawks that you go oh, the Rams are definitely going to win or any of the rest of the teams in that division. It was just a toss-up. I mean, arizona had a hot streak there for a little while. The 49ers just got decimated with injuries, injuries, yeah.
Speaker 2:You know they're like key players. Right, Like everyone deals with injuries, but when your quarterback is exposed because he doesn't have the weapons around him that he had the year before, you know.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and not to mention, just forget the weapons. You don't have your left tackle for half the season either, number one left tackle in the NFL. I mean, the Niners are going to benefit next year because of this, because they get a better draft pick and they get a better, easier schedule, because they get a third place, fourth place schedule.
Speaker 3:So they're about to. I mean Niners Might go fucking 15 and 2 next year Because they're playing the garbage of the league. Next year they get to play all the fourth place Teams, like the well NFC, who else is? They'll get to play the like the.
Speaker 2:Carolina. They'll get to be the Carolina, the Saints and Jacksonville, yeah those type, well, jacksonville, yeah, those types.
Speaker 3:Well, jacksonville is AFC, but but yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh, um Chicago. This is what they're playing next year. They got.
Speaker 1:Cardinals, Seahawks, Rams, Falcons, Panthers, Jags, Titans, bears. Those are all the home games.
Speaker 3:They got, they've got.
Speaker 1:Cardinals, Seahawks, Rams, Saints, Bucs, Texans, Colts, Giants, Browns.
Speaker 3:Jesus, I'm not kidding, they could go 15-2 with that schedule.
Speaker 2:Yeah, with that schedule. Holy crap, Unless half those teams do some sort of revolutionary thing with their rosters.
Speaker 3:Like none of those teams are, you know. See, that's the thing that people out here aren't realizing because the Broncos did okay and got a third-place schedule, like this last year. The Chiefs, you know what. We can throw it out because obviously they didn't play anybody. The Broncos had one win against a team with a winning record and that was the Tampa Bay Bucs. After the Bucs had just beat the Lions, before they were going to play like the Eagles or something, and four of their starters were out that game. So it's like, it's like the Broncos luck themselves into a playoff spot and next year they'll have a harder schedule, have a third place schedule instead of a last place schedule. So the Broncos yeah, great, you win 10-7. Don't be surprised if you're Freaking 8-9 next year, and I hope that happens. All this hype, hey, we're going forward, this is going to be great. And then it's like oh, we missed the playoffs. Oh darn, I'm sad, sad, sad, sad Broncos fans.
Speaker 1:They can cheer themselves up by just going and watching.
Speaker 3:Oh darn, I'm sad, sad, sad, sad Broncos fans.
Speaker 1:They can cheer themselves up by just going and watching Skeleton Crew and eyeballing.
Speaker 3:Neil the whole time. Yeah, yeah, Total take. So yeah, next year's going to be interesting.
Speaker 2:And, like I said in our text, as far as to tonight goes for me. Again, I'm still. I'm still on board. Everybody's going to have a bad game. The offense there should have been some adjustments made at halftime and, for whatever reason, it didn't take.
Speaker 3:They could have made better. The one thing I didn't like, because we saw they came out of the half and they went to the no huddle. Yeah, okay, great, what they should have did was max protect. Yeah, that's what they should have done. Yeah, it was like, if you know, darn old is being pressured, the entire damn game the whole game yeah right, stop.
Speaker 3:Stop sending out four in a pattern. Send out three and leave. Leave the other ones back to block. Man, they needed to help. Yeah, what for what? Detroit was doing the scheme they were doing up against you? You just got out. Coach that game, darnell. Though, darnell, he, you can't you.
Speaker 2:He missed so many open throws, man that's the thing I mean, like it was a bad game overall for the offense and and the defense. I mean, yeah, okay, so the lions scored a bunch of, but if the defense is on the field for more than half the game, like how long do you expect them to go? Like I mean, eventually things are going to break down. You get tired, like it's. You know, especially if they're grinding, eventually the dam is going to break right. I mean that's every team, you know.
Speaker 3:Yep, Look, they held their own all the way through, halfway through the third quarter. So they had every opportunity in that game the Vikings did. Now they've got to go the long route. You know, I don't think I haven't seen the numbers yet but I can't imagine the Rams are going to be favored in that game. I've got to say the Vikings probably Two and a half. Rams are favored two and a half You're serious favorite two and a half. You're serious. Yeah, that's a garbage, that's a home field advantage.
Speaker 2:That's a home field advantage right there.
Speaker 3:They kind of throw that out these days, especially if the Rams isn't home field. I will take Minnesota money line on that. I don't want your two and a half points. I will take the Vikings straight up. That's ridiculous. Like Buffalo, probably eight points over the Broncos. I would book it at 8.5 over the Broncos. Let's see. Steelers should be Underdogs by 4.5, no 5.5. The number's already out. Really, I need to look this up. Jack where's your town?
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly, I'm looking. We'll hold up. I'm looking, I'm looking.
Speaker 3:No, we'll make a game at it. That way our listeners can play along too. Right, they get to it. Let's see. All right, y'all, we're going to look at the next week's playoff games in the NFL. We'll start with the Saturday games. The first game is somebody probably the Chargers. The second game is the Steelers. Not that much.
Speaker 2:There's no money line for Vikings, oh no.
Speaker 1:Sorry, that's this week.
Speaker 2:So give me a second, let's see.
Speaker 3:Okay and go in order. You're going to mess up my OCD, so pick the first game on Saturday. When you do this, I need to. I want to guess the lines.
Speaker 1:Okay, hold up All right.
Speaker 2:Here we go, here we go.
Speaker 1:Clinch number one Hold up Pods. There we go. You know you, what week was this Seven? 18. 18. This is 18? Oh, okay, this is just entering week 18.
Speaker 3:No, we want to just pull up ESPN and go to the NFL scoreboard click wildcard weekend for the week and then Found it Okay, All right. You ready, first game.
Speaker 2:Chargers at Houston Chargers by 2.5.
Speaker 3:Stop. Did you miss the part about the we're going to guess, making a game, oh, no, sorry, I was looking up. I was frustrated because I couldn't find an easy page that had it all Chargers, houston, chargers, houston, chargers at Houston.
Speaker 2:Yeah, five seed at the three seed.
Speaker 3:We already know it's five seed at the four seed.
Speaker 2:Oh, did Texas slide down On this page? It has them as the three seed.
Speaker 3:The three seed is Baltimore.
Speaker 2:Oh, you know what? Somebody just screwed up when they wrote up the article. That's right.
Speaker 3:I would have guessed Chargers favored. I don't think I would have guessed two and a half. I probably would have guessed one. So okay, chargers are favored. The road team favored two and a half Okay, next game.
Speaker 2:Steelers at Baltimore.
Speaker 3:Steelers at Baltimore. The 7 seed at the 3 seed yeah.
Speaker 2:Baltimore Steelers are 6, seed Broncos are 7.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Broncos are 7. 6 seed at the 3 seed I'm going to go Baltimore favored by five and a half.
Speaker 2:Oh what do you think Eight and a half? I see nine and a half.
Speaker 3:Holy crap, dude. Yeah, all right. Only reason I'm giving it that cushion is because they're rivals. They play all the time.
Speaker 2:Yeah, very familiar with each other.
Speaker 3:Exactly that. Nine and a half seems like a lot, but again, pittsburgh's played so bad the last month that it could be 19 and a half. Right, all right.
Speaker 1:Broncos at Bills.
Speaker 3:The first game is Broncos at Bills Seven at two Eight and a half.
Speaker 2:Yep Bills by eight and a half.
Speaker 3:There we go Okay.
Speaker 2:All right, yep Bills by 8.5. There we go. Okay, alright, nfc. Then the NFC games Packers at Philly 7 at 2.
Speaker 3:Packers at Philly, philly, 5.5.
Speaker 2:4.5. But. I think a lot of that will depend on, if Love is actually hurt, how bad Love is hurt.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and Watson too.
Speaker 2:Well, considering Watson got carted off, I'm guessing he's probably out for a bit.
Speaker 3:I haven't seen any updates. But yeah, probably, If that's the case, that number could get bigger.
Speaker 2:Commanders at Tampa Bay. Ooh, that should be a close one.
Speaker 3:That should be a close one. They're probably going to give the home field, which I hate these days.
Speaker 2:They'll probably be Tampa 2, two and a half, tampa by three. Okay, yep, that might be the most exciting game of the weekend yep, I think so too I and again I, I. I love the vikings but as far as like from a just purely nfl fan perspective, I think that's the one that has the most to be an exciting game right the most like whatever. And then to wrap up the weekend is the Vikings at the Rams.
Speaker 3:Vikings at the Rams.
Speaker 2:Vikings at the Rams. Does your page have that Jack?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Okay, hello, vikings two and a half, jack, yeah, vikings, two and a half.
Speaker 1:That's what mine says Two and a half.
Speaker 2:Mine wasn't updated.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, not too bad For a.
Speaker 1:Super Bowl winner we have Detroit at plus 300.
Speaker 3:Detroit's plus 300. Is that the best odds? Yeah, for the.
Speaker 1:ESPN yeah, and then to make the Super Bowl Detroit's plus 300. Is that the?
Speaker 2:best odds Is Detroit yeah, for the ESPN, yeah.
Speaker 3:And then to make the Super.
Speaker 1:Bowl or win it KC's at 350.
Speaker 3:Okay, so they expect KC versus Detroit then.
Speaker 2:Jack, I should have given you 100 bucks to put on the Vikings at the beginning of the year, because at the beginning of the year the Vikings were 8,000 to one to win.
Speaker 3:So if I would have given you 100 bucks. Get the hell out of here.
Speaker 2:Damn yeah, if I would have given you 100 bucks.
Speaker 3:Rich 8,000 to 1?
Speaker 2:That was that bad oh yeah, the Vikings were only supposed to win six games, six and a half games I was going to say the McCarthy injury.
Speaker 3:Nobody expected Darnold to do well. That makes sense. You know what, though? I might put a few bucks on Minnesota right now. They kind of have that Kurt Warner Rams 99 feel. Remember when Trent Green got hurt and then Warner stepped in and just took him to the Super Bowl with Torrey Bolton and Isaac Bruce.
Speaker 1:Vikings are plus 1,400 to to the Super Bowl with Torrey Bolton, Isaac Bruce.
Speaker 3:Vikings are plus 1,400 to win the Super Bowl 14 to 1, so that's not bad. Pittsburgh's $7,500. Oh, I ain't wasting my money on Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1:No come on.
Speaker 3:I've seen that team way too closely the last month and, oh God, no, now don't get me wrong they could, you know, catch fire and they could be the 2007 Giants or whatever you know.
Speaker 2:According to FanDuel, the Steelers currently have the same chance of winning the Super Bowl as the Broncos or the Texans at plus 6,500.
Speaker 3:I would honestly give the Broncos a better chance, but again only because of current, because when they played each other, steelers beat the Broncos, but current playing the, both their offenses are garbage. You guys will see when they play Buffalo, the Broncos' offense is garbage, but so is the Steelers. But as of right now, the Broncos are playing better defense. So is the steelers. But as of right now, the broncos are playing better defense, and that's what matters to me. So I think I think if I had to put 10 bucks on one of those two teams, I'd put it on the broncos just well, that's not what they always say.
Speaker 2:Offense wins games, defense wins championships, right, yeah, I mean, look at the. Was it the 2000 ravens who had? Uh, oh, they looked like the 85 Bears yeah. The Ravens team, but they had what Trent Dilfer as the quarterback.
Speaker 3:Exactly. They beat the Giants in that Super Bowl when the refs cheated and they called a holding on a tying interception return by Michael Strahan. But whatever, I don't hold grudges, so it's fine.
Speaker 1:I don't remember every second of that game at all. No, no, that was some bullshit.
Speaker 2:Whatever, but well it's exciting, glad a couple of us have teams in the playoffs and you know Jack can support us and we'll root you on for the draft.
Speaker 3:Yeah, six, yeah, right, you got the six pick right. Yeah, because I know Jacksonville, I think, got the fifth, and then it's you guys at six.
Speaker 2:Somebody teased themselves yesterday by winning Bruh.
Speaker 3:The Patriots lost the number one pick by winning against the hapless bill. I get it. You're players, you play, and the coach knew he was getting fired. It reminds me of two years ago that would happen with Houston. Houston was in line for number one pick. The coach knew he was getting fired Levy Smith so he played his best players to go win.
Speaker 2:But it worked out for him.
Speaker 3:They got CJ Stroud in the second pick, so it worked out for Houston and New England doesn't need a quarterback and New England doesn't need a quarterback. So I don't know what the hell New England's going to do. I mean, the first three picks all need quarterbacks between Titans, browns and Giants, but only two real ones are going to be available.
Speaker 2:If you're the Browns, do you just eat the Watson money and just let him go, like you cut him right.
Speaker 3:No no.
Speaker 2:Or you just put him on the bench.
Speaker 3:You keep him as a backup and just let him go Like you cut him, no, no, you put him on the bench, you keep him as a backup. You let him train the new guy. Whoever your new dress, you let him train your door. Yeah or cam war.
Speaker 2:I don't know if I want to Sean Watson teaching should or anything, though. I mean, here's a list of where all the best massage places are.
Speaker 3:These are the places that won't sue you later on for secular harassment. That's good information to have, though, if I'm a rookie. I want it. It's like, hey, Ben.
Speaker 3:Roethlisberger could have used that I would say if you cut them you're still eating the cap loss, so you may as well keep them. You cut Jameis because man turnover machine DTR was absolutely horrible, so you know he ain't your guy. So you draft your rookie quarterback and Deshaun Watson will help guide him through, because you've got to pay him anyway. So Browns get their quarterback and get the go Titans with their number one pick. Obviously they can take Cam Ward or Shador, and then Cleveland will take the other one with the two pick, but that leaves the Giants at three. There's no other good quarterbacks available and you're not going to trade up one or two spots and get rid of more draft capital. Your best bet don't get a quarterback this year, just stick with drew lock, expect to be a four-win team, build pieces around whoever your next quarterback's gonna be. So you take travis hunter and then you have him on one side with malik neighbors on the other side. Come in, neighbors, prove that dude can play. Neighbors had garbagebacks and he fucking owned anybody he went up against.
Speaker 1:So Neighbors is the real deal. Yeah, I think I had him on my fantasy team and he scored. Yeah, exactly, he got me a lot of points this year, he fucking blew up man.
Speaker 3:So, yeah, he's a win. So the Giants, go get pieces around your next quarterback and let the next quarterback come next year and just get your quarterback in the offseason. Go pick up fucking Kirk Cousins. He's about to get dropped and you can get him in for cheap because Atlanta will still be stuck on paying his guaranteed contract. So you can do what Pittsburgh did you can get Kirk Cousins for a million dollars and it's like but, as a Giants fan, do not reach with the number three pick, don't go. Oh, this quarterback is rated as a second-round grade, but we need a quarterback, so we're going to take him now and it's like no fuck that. Go get yourself Travis Hunter, then get yourself some offensive linemen and then, if you want to take a flyer with a second or third round probably third-round quarterback if somebody's out there okay, fine, but pick up one of the other veterans for your quarterbacking next year. It would be stupid if you can't, since you can't have one or two don't waste your time.
Speaker 2:The website tankathoncom.
Speaker 3:That's a real website.
Speaker 2:Their mock draft as of today has Shadur being number one, cam Ward being number two, travis Hunter three. Their mock draft as of today has Shadur being number one, cam Ward being number two, travis Hunter three Macmillan.
Speaker 3:Who's four at the Patriots.
Speaker 2:I'm not even going to try to pronounce his name Macmillan from Arizona. Wide receiver from Arizona.
Speaker 3:I don't think that's a good move for the Patriots, but okay.
Speaker 2:The Jaguars they have taking Mason Graham, a defensive lineman, from Michigan. Raiders get a cornerback. Will Johnson from Michigan, Abdul Carter for the Jets, an edge defensive lineman. Panthers. Get Mikael Williams, another edge from Georgia Saints. Take an offensive lineman, Will Campbell from LSU, and then the Bears get an offensive tackle from Texas.
Speaker 3:Kelvin Bates Jr. Every pick for the Bears should be a lineman Until five of them work out. That's what the bear. Every pick for the bear should be alignment until until five of them work out. That's such garbage. So, yeah, I mean it's going to be interesting. Jack, do you have your? You have your uh home hosting for next year. Does it already have?
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're coming out for the giants, for sure.
Speaker 3:Okay, I, you're coming out for the Giants for sure. Okay, I was about to ask you do the Vikings, the Giants or the Steelers play again this year?
Speaker 2:I don't think the the Vikings don't. No, because they won't be at the same.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they're at the same level.
Speaker 1:Let's see Two versus four. We have Chiefs, chargers, broncos, jags, titans, cowboys, giants Bears, browns Bears. Those are the home games, yeah.
Speaker 3:Giants Browns Bears.
Speaker 2:Hmm, all right, the Vikings have Bears, lions, packers, eagles, commanders, ravens, bengals and the NFC South team that finishes in the same spot, so it'll be whoever the number two team was in the NFC.
Speaker 2:South Atlanta. Let's see. And then that's their home schedule. Their away schedule is Bears, lions, packers, cowboys, giants, steelers. The schedule is Bears, lions, packers, cowboys, giants, steelers, browns, the NFC West team and the AFC West team that finish in the same spot as the 2024 Vikings. So the NFC West team that finished second is Seattle, seattle, and then the AFC West team that finished Second.
Speaker 3:Chargers. All right, I'm just off the top of my head, I watch too much football. I'll sit there and go. I'm like, okay, that's that team so.
Speaker 2:Lou, we could go see the Steelers and Vikings play.
Speaker 3:I was just going to say am I meeting you in Pittsburgh? Or what for the Vikings and the Steelers?
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm or New York.
Speaker 3:Although I wish that game was in Minnesota. I'd like to see that stadium. Yeah, I'm not going to lie, I'd rather go to the Vikings game. Yeah, but it depends too If the Pittsburgh Vikings when the schedule comes out in April, if that shit is in December, december, nope, nope.
Speaker 2:I'm good, I'm good, I'm good.
Speaker 3:Me in a red zone with all its commercials are going to be fine. Check out these short sleeves. I'm just saying Exactly, exactly. I had an opportunity to go to the Broncos game today, free tickets, and it was like it's like 14 degrees, so no.
Speaker 2:I'm fine. Have you ever seen Day After Tomorrow where the ice is chasing the people through the library? That's what's fucking happening right now.
Speaker 3:I did that last year at a New Year's Eve game or Christmas Eve game, whatever one it was that I went to last year at Broncos game. I stayed till halftime. I was like I'll give it a shot. Yeah, cool, I'm all bundled up, dressed for it. You can't dress for that. No, nope, you can't do so much. Exactly, I'm all like no, you can dress for the cold, you can dress for the cold. Don't get me wrong. I probably could have put more layers on, but I was like, why? But I can just go home and be warm and watch the fourth quarter at home, wear nothing and just chill.
Speaker 2:Well, not chill, not chill, Relax.
Speaker 3:Different type of chill.
Speaker 1:It's like man, but yeah, I was like no, I'm going to suffer through it.
Speaker 3:I'm like, no, this is good, this is good, it's good, I'm going to warm up. I'm going to warm up. No, I never warmed up, it just kept getting colder.
Speaker 2:Obviously, you know, sun goes down.
Speaker 3:Dude Lou, we could go watch Washington and Vikings play. We could see Jaden Daniels play in person. Jaden Daniels, that actually wouldn't be bad. I wouldn't mind seeing him play, I would also be okay with seeing the Bengals, I would be okay with Joey B Chase, if he's still there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's going to be a trick for them to sign, because they have to sign both Tee Higgins, because Tee Higgins and Chase are both up, for they're not getting them both.
Speaker 3:They're not getting them both. Yeah, and you've got to keep Chase, so Tee will be a Raider next year, yeah.
Speaker 2:Congratulations, Jack Right.
Speaker 3:Jacoby Myers. On the other side, you'll have Trey Tucker as your slot Brock. The other side, you'll have Trey Tucker as your slot Brock Bowers.
Speaker 2:You just need somebody to throw him a damn ball. That's all, yep, and maybe a little bit better running back. You need a draft. You should draft a running back, for sure.
Speaker 1:Go get Scataboo. That'd even be fun to say. You might even buy that jersey Right you almost have to right that.
Speaker 3:Just Don't get me be wrong. We're still getting the chinese one. I ain't paying 170 for that shit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, bronies, retire as a raider and then I'll spend that kind of money on someone. Yeah, yeah, the 27 dollar. Yeah, that's where all my jerseys exactly that's where all my jerseys came from mine too. I'm not, yeah dude at the game today had a car jersey on missing an R.
Speaker 3:Whoa.
Speaker 1:Whoa Just car. I'm like bro your letter fell off.
Speaker 3:It's like that's funny, it's like have you seen Derek Carplay.
Speaker 2:I'm not the only R that's fallen off. Car wasn't the only thing that's fallen off, just saying.
Speaker 3:That dude can't stay healthy anymore, man. Uh-uh, yeah, but falling off just saying that dude can't stay healthy anymore, man. But I wonder if the States are going to keep him. We'll see.
Speaker 2:I don't know. I have a hard time even contemplating buying. With the turnover and how many players come and go every season. It's so hard for me to commit to like, oh, I'm going to buy this guy's jersey, because then, once he's off the team and he's playing for another team, you're like Because then, once he's off the team and he's playing for another team, you're like, well, now what?
Speaker 3:You know, that's what I noticed in our games too.
Speaker 1:They'd be wearing car jerseys. They got Devante jerseys. You said that dude had a Russell jersey, dude had a Ruggs jersey on.
Speaker 2:Oh sorry, I thought it was Russell. It was Ruggs. Ruggs is even worse.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's, that's why he was tripping. I was like man. So, yeah, I was like damn man. I was like you ain't lying, I was trying to spin this shit as best as I could.
Speaker 2:I was having trouble believing my own spin. It was like man, how do you wake up in the morning and go? Let me put that that on. Let me put the rugs jersey on all the rest of my Raiders jerseys are in the wash even then, just wear the jersey, I'll wear the opponent.
Speaker 1:All the rest of my Raiders jerseys are in the wash Even then just wear the jersey of the opponent. I'll wear the opponent's jersey.
Speaker 3:At that point I got him a home jersey. I'll just wear that you know what I guarantee you nobody's going to the game today.
Speaker 2:It's the safest space for me to wear my jersey.
Speaker 3:To wear the Rugs jersey? That shit's. I only have the three Steeler jerseys. I've got Bettis Hines, ward and Roethlisberger, but again, they were staples there and entered their careers there. So like, if I were to get one now, it would either be a throwback 70s one Like Joe Green.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean Joe Green.
Speaker 3:Yeah, mel Blunt, you know one of them guys, brad you know one of them, guys, Bradshaw. You know what? Not a huge Bradshaw fan, I wouldn't get his name.
Speaker 2:Current Bradshaw or just period?
Speaker 3:Period. Even back then, franco Harris I'd get, I'd be all over Franco Harris, but I didn't really. Stallworth Stallworth Swan, for sure, but current. If I were to get a current, Probably TJ Watt. Even if he doesn't finish his career there, I would deal with Hayward Again.
Speaker 2:Like you said, Staples, I would be surprised. I feel like Cam Hayward is also probably a pretty safe one.
Speaker 3:That's a good one too.
Speaker 1:Like I could buy a Crosby jersey, I'd be fine.
Speaker 3:Yeah, absolutely he could leave next year. You'd still be fine. With a Crosby jersey, I'd be fine. Yeah, absolutely he could leave next year, you'd still be fine with a Crosby jersey.
Speaker 2:I have a Smith jersey. I got a Harrison Smith jersey.
Speaker 3:That's a good one.
Speaker 2:Then I have a Chris Dolman and John Randall.
Speaker 3:Another pair of good ones. Damn, those would be the ones to get. No Randy Moss Vikings.
Speaker 2:Not yet. There's a couple of them that I want to get. So here's the hard part with the Chinese jerseys getting the cheap jerseys is I would want to get one that had a patch on it, right, so one that was like the 30 years for the Vikings or whatever right 100 years for the NFL. Finding those ones is a bit harder than just getting a regular jersey.
Speaker 1:Maybe when we're in Japan in a couple months, since we're closer to China, you'll have better options.
Speaker 3:You know what?
Speaker 1:I didn't think about that at all. That's so true, dude. I didn't think about that. Right there you have dibs on it.
Speaker 3:Man, we need to find ourselves a swap meet while we're there. Whatever their version of a swap meet is because you know you'll find it all there.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 3:And especially with the yen rate being in our favor by a lot.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm going to come back with a whole new wardrobe. I got a whole new NFL wardrobe. He was like I didn't even pack any clothes, Right I?
Speaker 1:I brought empty suitcases. I packed the suitcase inside my suitcase. That was it.
Speaker 3:We landed. I went to the swap meet and I'm good. Matter of fact, I'll get my suitcase at the swap meet while I'm there.
Speaker 2:I'll pack it.
Speaker 3:I honestly did not think about that. That's actually a good idea.
Speaker 2:I would probably. My next one will probably be a Jefferson jersey. It'll probably be a jefferson jersey. It'll probably be a winter whiteout, because I like that, that style that's dangerous because, is he?
Speaker 3:did he already get a second contract?
Speaker 2:I don't remember he's the highest paid, a second highest paid wide receiver. I think who the hell?
Speaker 3:is highest. Uh, who has more than fuck right?
Speaker 2:right, let me look. I thought it was. I don't think he's the highest. Somebody in Colorado is the highest.
Speaker 3:Wow, if he's not the yeah, I can't imagine anybody that's making more than NFL's highest players 2024.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:I just played receivers.
Speaker 2:I'm looking at the whole.
Speaker 3:Well, I'm looking at the whole list here Quarterback quarterback, quarterback quarterback quarterback yes.
Speaker 2:He has the highest. Nope, ceedee Lamb. That's who I was thinking of. That's so. Ceedee Lamb is Is a Alright Is higher.
Speaker 3:I don't think he's better than Jefferson, but okay he is good, he should be top three Him, those two and Chase.
Speaker 2:Yeah, somehow Dak Prescott's the highest paid player in the NFL.
Speaker 3:Yeah, somehow. Because Jerry Jones is dumb and didn't pay him last year what he should have, and then somebody else got their deal this year, so he couldn't do anything less than that. Because Jerry Jones is an idiot. That's how. Because Dak is not the best or top skill level anyway, I would pay, not even Mahomes. Who would I pay that type of money? Josh Allen, I'd give him top quarterback.
Speaker 2:You wouldn't give it to Jordan Love, who's the number three highest paid NFL player.
Speaker 3:Jordan Love needs to be on the bench. Fuck that dude.
Speaker 2:He's a pass. I won't disagree with you, but that's because I'm a three-fuck-the-packers.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and ever since the Super Bowl 2011, so am I.
Speaker 1:No grudges, again, no grudges. I barely even remember that game. I had to look it up.
Speaker 2:No. By the way he threw for 330 yards and three touchdowns. No.
Speaker 3:Pittsburgh kept turning the ball. I just left, ended the third quarter, drove to Colorado that night, not even kidding.
Speaker 2:That's how bad it was. You had to drive to a different state I left.
Speaker 3:I was watching the game. I was planning to leave the next day to come work for about six weeks to train somebody and the game was so bad it pissed me off so much I got in the car at five something and left in the third quarter. True story I hated the Packers ever since.
Speaker 1:Oh man, True story.
Speaker 2:I hated the Packers ever since. Oh man, we've already talked about the whole being a fan of a second team. And like I, can't, I, like I could never root for the Packers, right? Could I root for another team they're playing against to lose? Sure, but I will never. But you're not rooting for the Packers yeah.
Speaker 1:You're rooting for the Against the.
Speaker 3:Packers yeah, exactly, or fill in the blank, whatever. Yeah, yeah, same. Like I said, I totally. I'm such a hater, I'm my mother's child.
Speaker 2:Lou a hater, what, no, I know.
Speaker 1:News.
Speaker 2:Speaking of Lou being a hater, let's talk about Skeleton Crew.
Speaker 3:Let's Because I can honestly say this episode was only partial ass. It was like one butt cheek, it wasn't even both. It was not a horrible episode. I'm not going to say it was good, but it was not a horrible episode.
Speaker 2:Follow, follow, follow. I will say it is the best episode of the series so far, but that bar isn't very high for me. But I also. I did enjoy it more than the rest of it and I like how I feel like I manifested this episode being about KB with my hey, we haven't learned anything at all or had any stories or anything with kb. And then this week I'm sitting watching that and I'm like, yep, I manifested that shit and and they managed to do a decent job with it.
Speaker 3:I wasn't a good job with it, they did a decent job with it. Let me ask you guys this watching the episode and I did see it twice, so watching the episode um did did you guys feel any kind of danger to her with what was going on? Because it did not come across to me that she was in any kind of major harm threat, anything. It's like at the end of it, after she gets fixed, it's like, oh, you saved my life. And it was like, oh, I had no, I had no idea your life was in danger I yeah, no, I thought she was shutting down because shutting down, yes, but does that mean that?
Speaker 1:but in a previous episode um, her mom said that she was in danger because she didn't have her meds or some shit yeah, yeah, that was yeah back with after they when they went back to the parents the first time. Yeah, but I've been waiting for something like this to happen to her, Like, okay, why does she need her meds? So it's obviously the. I mean they didn't explain that the bionics keep her alive yet. But yeah, I figured that something was going to.
Speaker 3:See, that was my problem.
Speaker 1:I figured if they didn't fix it because you wouldn't put those bionics on a kid for funsies like Lobot, lobot probably got that shit for fun. Lando talked him into it, so something happened to her where she needed that accident.
Speaker 3:I said that early in the season, yeah, so something.
Speaker 1:So it's something like that to keep her alive. At least that was what I inferred. Okay.
Speaker 3:That part I understood. I understood that she needed the augmentation, the augs, rather. So I knew she needed the augs. But the way they Wynne Is that his name Wynne was like Wynne lose or draw. When Wynne was fixing her I didn't take that as well. If he doesn't, she dies. That did not come across well enough to me that that was the result until after she was repaired and she said oh, you saved somebody's life. It was like, and she did it all casually and was like oh, your life was in danger. I just thought some odd wouldn't work. You know like, okay, this isn't going to work on you or this isn't going to work on you. It did not come across that this was a life or death thing.
Speaker 2:But, I don't think Wim knew that either. I took it more of as I guess I looked at it differently when I was watching the episode. I took it more as a learning lesson for Wim than it was for KB, right, like he failed with the lightsaber. He's screwed up every single thing up until that point and this was the first example of him actually doing helping good and so so that to me.
Speaker 2:I guess I was paying more attention to that than to how it would affect kb. I always just assumed that he would fix her. I thought that they handled that. I feel like that scene was was good right, I feel like with her still being able to give him direction and stuff like that, and then afterwards when she was like, oh, I think that was the most character arc growth we've seen in the episode as far as the kids go outside of fern oh yeah, realizing so to me, to me, I liked that because I was like that's I think I talked about that at episode one like where are these, where's the arc for these kids?
Speaker 2:because we haven't seen that yet and I feel like this episode did a good job of of doing that, of pushing the kids to, hey, everything you do doesn't like. It was nice to not just have them just screw up, uh, ending up being a um, how do you phrase it? Like every it's one of those like failing upwards. Right, like everything they fuck up it's fine because at the end it's fine. Right, feel like this. They. This episode was written, in my opinion, a little differently to where there was actually some stakes involved, which I think is something I talked, we've talked about before, but they're never feeling like there was any stakes involved and so I feel like they. There was the character hold on, hold on hold on hold on hold on sure because that's where that.
Speaker 3:now we're back to my point, because everything you're saying I agree with you, but that's not what I was saying. Now we're back to what you're talking about the stakes. Watching that episode, that particular scene, I did not grasp from the way it played out that there were stakes. That's what I'm saying. There was nothing that was like hey, if this doesn't happen, I'm going to die. If I don't get this fixed, I'm going to die. I'm just like, oh, if this doesn't get this fixed, then her eyepiece won't work or something won't work.
Speaker 1:I mean she did shut down to where she had to lay down and she couldn't move and do it herself anymore. Right.
Speaker 3:But she wasn't dead. That's dead, is my point. It's like I, you're right, but and at no point did I did it come across to me that she was going to. It was like, oh, she can't move, okay, her odds don't work. It's like somebody with the bionic arm and and they got what is it? The electromagnetic pulse like in every movie you seen somebody, oh, emp, great, uh. So that's where I think that's why I was like it's great, it's a good episode. But they once again failed to me, anyway, at those stakes that should have been. If those stakes were clear, then, and I because, because, like duke, I'm sitting there, like I'm like, well, she's gonna be fine, I'm nothing to worry about, yeah, and then she's, and then the way she blows it off at the end, the whole, oh, you save somebody's life, I'm like, oh, her life was up for stake. I didn't know that and it was like, oh, that took away from it.
Speaker 2:I think I would have felt more into it if I knew there were stakes I feel like there was maybe a scene that was edited where she maybe had more to say, because when they first landed on the planet she's like I shouldn't be here, I shouldn't be here. So she like, but it was kind of a line that was happening while there was a lot of other stuff going on. But I remember when they first land on the planet and they're talking and she's like I can't, she kind of had a little anxiety attack, but it was really small. So I kind of feel like they maybe cut some out where maybe there would have been more of an explanation, as opposed to just kind of being a throwaway line, because she said that and then they never talk about it for like two episodes until now.
Speaker 3:So I feel like either one of you did either one of you realize that her life was up if, basically, did you guys realize she would die if whim didn't fix her? Did you guys have that? I thought okay, I didn't did you do?
Speaker 2:no, I yeah. But again, I was looking at I wasn't necessarily looking at it as a life or death thing because I knew she wasn't going to die in my head so I was looking at it more as a learning lesson for Wim that he can do the right thing and he can be helpful and not just constantly fuck things up. So hopefully they'll build on that for him and that will, I think, make him a stronger character. That's still up for debate.
Speaker 3:Well, again we have what? Because he hasn't done anything on his own, he still had to be directed by KB.
Speaker 2:But I think it's baby steps right.
Speaker 3:Well, they got two episodes left. So I mean them. Babies need to grow up real fast.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Now, on the flip side, that you were talking about the issue with Fern and KB and resolving the whole, just because you can do everything, blah, blah, blah, even though she can't, and him having resolved that, that was good. That part of the story was good.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So I feel like this was, and I wish they kind of would have done something earlier to give KB more time, because I think out of all four of them, she could prove to be the most interesting character because she has the backstory of having the accident and having the ogs and that type of thing. So I think in the long term she, out of the four of them besides neil, of course into perfect hair she could probably be the most the, the character that they could get the most mileage out of, you know, after skeleton crew, um, so it'll be interesting to see what they do, because I feel like Wim and Fern are both just kind of generic. I don't have any attachment to either of them and I have an attachment to Neil because of his hair.
Speaker 3:You and everybody else.
Speaker 2:And now I feel like I have more of an attachment to KB because of that, because of the way the episode played out, so okay, yeah, I still don't have that but I don't know how to say it.
Speaker 2:It's a strong connection. But as far as I'm looking at the characters in the show going, okay, who's the characters that they could actually do something with after the show is over, right? And you know, after the show is over, right, and you know, jude Law's character I think is going to kind of be whatever the pirates I mean the pirates They'll use those as being.
Speaker 3:The girl pirate, the albino girl.
Speaker 1:Who is Merida from Brave?
Speaker 3:Yeah, bring her back. She's our new aura of seeing.
Speaker 2:Right, yeah, but, yeah, but the pirates.
Speaker 3:I they'll use those guys If they don't kill them by the end of the season they'll which they won't yeah, they'll bring them back as needed for pocket.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. In the if it's in that that window of time, they'll become the villain of the week type of thing.
Speaker 3:They'll be in the Mando movie.
Speaker 1:Or Grogu will kill him.
Speaker 3:I did like. I did like Silva's, uh uh, john, whatever name, whatever six name, whatever name he is.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Whichever one you want to use, I did like him in the pirate ship Just to show off his skills at manipulation. That was kind of. That was kind of good.
Speaker 1:Now, is that just charisma, or was there some force behind it? Charisma.
Speaker 3:I didn't think about that, but I would go straight charisma, cause he's proven over and over again.
Speaker 2:He's his Riz Outside, yeah, outside of, uh, outside of girl, from brave he's, he's been able to really manipulate uh, everybody, you know, even if they don't believe him necessarily at the beginning, like he's just so casual about it and everything that. And the pirates I mean again the pirates, like I mean he he preyed on the weakness that he knew about, right, that they were hungry, some of them hungry for gold, some of them hungry for a spot in the world, some of them are hungry for, you know, a plate of food, whatever it is Right Like. So he was able to distill that down into making a convincing argument.
Speaker 3:The trap door thing still stupid to me. And then they're all going to go into four different pipes.
Speaker 1:That shit happens in all the movies where they go down trap doors.
Speaker 3:And it's always wrong. It's always stupid when they do it. It was like what it just happened that all each get your own little slide. It's like man, when they start, when that shit works for real at the amusement park. You let me know and then I'll start believing that. We know, motherfucker, three of three out of four, all being the same damn two pile on top of each other. That's how. That's how the real world works.
Speaker 2:That's how I mean. Again, I just wrote my genie lamp and said, hey, can the three of us all go down the same tube, piled on top of each other?
Speaker 1:Don't act like we haven't all gone down at the same time.
Speaker 3:I mean there's that. So in that sense it is a real world that applies. But yeah, so I mean the rest of it. It was like okay, the crap thing, I don't know, there's again a lot of stupidity in the sense of you're gonna tell me she's somehow, we're gonna see this rope to the side. She somehow came over, got the rope and then tied it to neil and then has the strength to lift neil up. Is that, is that what you're telling me?
Speaker 2:I don't think she was lifting neil up. I think she was gently encouraging him with the rope. No, she was lifting him up. He said he. She was gently encouraging him with the rope.
Speaker 3:No, she was lifting him up. He said he could not reach between the rungs. If she wasn't lifting him up, then how did he do that?
Speaker 1:I think maybe she was holding on and it gave him the extra boost so that he could do it. And she has strong hips. With his little elephant fingers he couldn't reach.
Speaker 3:If you can't reach, then she has to lift him.
Speaker 2:His adorable elephant fingers.
Speaker 3:I mean, that's basic physics. So I'm just saying, what you're telling me is this and Neil don't look light. Let's be real y'all. He don't look light. You're telling me that she was able to hang on and lift her up, and then they could just jump on a moving ship, and that's okay too, and that, and that was just like, yeah, we can do this Okay.
Speaker 1:But you're questioning it after seeing train before you what you never jumped onto a moving train before.
Speaker 3:I mean, everybody has a I would think at our age bracket. I did it for fun when I was growing up. That wasn't a moving train.
Speaker 2:You our age bracket. I did it for fun when I was growing up again. That wasn't a moving train. You're up hanging you on 41, 41 years ago we saw a guy fall down a giant shaft. That happened to fall into the correct tube and he didn't break any bones as he slid down.
Speaker 1:Uh, he had the force and he cut himself with the back of his knees yeah, always bothered me, and then he was able to hang there and then he was able to pull himself up because he had really strong core muscles.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Did you not see the workout he did with freaking?
Speaker 2:Yoda.
Speaker 1:Man hell yeah.
Speaker 3:And for the whole I don't know year he was there, since we have no idea how long he was there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was three days.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I heard it was like 72 hours.
Speaker 1:It was three days, I heard it was like 72 hours, yeah, because it didn't take them three years to fly from the space worm to Bespin Shit would have gone down before then.
Speaker 3:We don't know. I wish they would fix that.
Speaker 1:Vader's just hanging out there for three years. Like are these motherfuckers show up yet?
Speaker 3:I got all this dinner made. Somebody fix their hyperdrive and get them here fast. But if we fix it, lord Vader, they won't come here, because that's why they're coming here. I'm like, oh well, shit, all right, all right.
Speaker 1:Pray, I don't have to deal any further.
Speaker 2:Why does he always win at pickleball? Oh man.
Speaker 3:But that was fine, the crab, whatever. It wasn't that big of a deal.
Speaker 2:I liked the new ship thing.
Speaker 3:The new ship thing was stupid. I didn't bother, it didn't bother me, you don't like ship condoms, lou. Really, it's like oh, we have a brand new claims on the new ship. It wasn't a new ship, jackass, it was the same ship.
Speaker 1:He just took the glove off.
Speaker 3:Exactly. It's like what the hell.
Speaker 2:Jimmy Cavill.
Speaker 3:It was like oh, we're trapped in this thing, don't push this button. We're going to push this button. Okay, push the button. It's like oh, it's a whole new outer looking ship. Nothing on the inside would have changed people.
Speaker 1:And why didn't you do that a long time ago?
Speaker 3:That's what I'm saying, so that's my point. It was like oh yay, the outside looks better, we have another toy we can sell, good job.
Speaker 2:And another one. You'll buy three of.
Speaker 3:To sell. Don't get me wrong, I ain't a fool. I will buy it to sell because people will have FOMO. It happens every time.
Speaker 2:Get that show with the Razor Crest. Oh my God, hey guys, Haslam buy the Razor Crest. Okay guys, we've sold enough to produce it. Let's blow it up.
Speaker 1:I'm saving mine for when the movie comes out and he gets a new Razorcrest.
Speaker 3:Then people don't want it again. I expect that to happen.
Speaker 1:They've already shown it. There's a picture of Zeb and Mando in a Razorcrest cockpit from the movie.
Speaker 3:Oh well, good, Because yeah, that should happen. I wonder if they did that after the fact, to apologize to the folks who bought it, that's funny.
Speaker 3:Oh my god, that's funny. But yeah, like I said, all that being said, all those complaints, I still like the episode. It was not ass. I was like, alright cool. Now they just gotta build on that because obviously the next two episodes they should be back at Ad Ad. Yeah, there'll be something with the pirates are in control and that way they can win. The good guys can win. Liberate In episode eight.
Speaker 1:Come back, conquering heroes.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so we'll see what happens. We'll find out in a couple days on how that plays out, but all right, fine. Whatever, I am curious if they're going to somehow try to tie it into the current continuity. Can you let it be its own thing? Are you going to force some sequel trilogy? Ahsoka shows up.
Speaker 1:With Rey, she knows.
Speaker 3:Jod.
Speaker 1:I don't think Rey's born yet.
Speaker 3:She's probably not actually. She's probably a few more years from being born, You're right.
Speaker 2:This guy will show up. What's your last name, palpatine? And here's my wife. She's pregnant.
Speaker 3:Exactly that would be some shit.
Speaker 2:I need you to build a giant fleet of ships for me.
Speaker 3:If that happens when y'all watch the episode, just feel my eye roll happening while you're watching. It's going to be a big-ass eye roll. We'll see. I hope that doesn't happen. I hope it's just something original. But I don't think that's what it's going to be. If I had to bet, I wouldn't pick something original.
Speaker 1:Maybe Omega will show up.
Speaker 3:I'd actually almost be okay with that if there's reason for it. She wouldn't have fought with the Rebels and all this. If there's a reason for her to deal, okay, great. As long as it, Let me back up. If any of that shit happens and they try to connect some shit, but it makes sense and doesn't feel forced, I'll go with it.
Speaker 2:You bring in the Bad Batch or something, sure Okay.
Speaker 3:If it made sense, why they're there?
Speaker 2:absolutely, if it made sense why they're there, absolutely, I'm down. Just don't bring in Kaz from Resistance, please.
Speaker 3:I want to know who they were. Anyway, hey guys.
Speaker 2:Hey, what's going on.
Speaker 3:I'm a spy. They already did that, didn't they? They brought the dad in.
Speaker 1:The dad's in the sequel Ahsoka. He's in Ahsoka, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he's in Ahsoka.
Speaker 2:I thought he was in one of the sequels too, Mm-mm.
Speaker 3:No it's just the tribunal with Hera. Do you guys finish what?
Speaker 1:If I did, but since I was dying yesterday, I slept through most of the last episode, oh wow what did you think of it, lou? It was okay yeah, it was just okay it was not as good as the last two seasons even the last season wasn't even that good.
Speaker 3:To be honest with you, they got away from it. It's like what, if I don't like that? There wasn't like the season one. This thing happened differently. So we take this arc. Now it was just what, if shit happens? It wasn't like here's a multiverse, yeah.
Speaker 1:Here's Shang-Chi and Hawkeye as cowboys.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they wouldn't have been born in the 18th.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they were born hundreds of years earlier.
Speaker 3:They're 18, whatever. It's like no, that doesn't make sense. So I want the whole. What if this person made a different decision? What happened? And they didn't do that in season two or season three, so it was just more of a here's just some random side stories and it was like once I convinced myself that's what it was and it was no longer a proper what if I kind of enjoyed some of the episodes, yeah, but for what I thought it was supposed to be, it was just like oh, whatever, I'm glad this is over and that's unfortunate how I was watching it. To get it over with it was more than anything else. It's like okay, I'll watch this. So I'm part of the conversation, but I can't say I enjoyed it a whole hell of a lot. Didn't hate it. I'll be very lot. Didn't hate it. I mean very clear Didn't hate it. I speak to this. I did like the Shang-Chi episode. I didn't think that was bad.
Speaker 1:Oh, I did, but it speaks to your point where that's not a what if that's a multi right.
Speaker 3:Right, Exactly so it was like okay, all right, but you're. This happened. Right, what if? What is it? T'challa got picked up, or whatever? Yeah, exactly, I was like oh, that's interesting. What if this? Instead of okay, we're going to just put these people together, in this case, pete Bishop and Shang-Chi. I like the.
Speaker 2:Howard to that episode.
Speaker 3:See, that was the one I thought was stupid. I liked the Agatha episode. I liked that one, the Agatha episode was good, Howard to Duck one. I was like, okay, this is dumb as fuck.
Speaker 2:But that was a callback. But that was a callback to the previous season.
Speaker 3:Season two yeah, With the Thor party boy Thor.
Speaker 1:And it did set up for the last two episodes.
Speaker 3:I was going to say it's like they made that episode so they could have Birdie in the last two. Obviously, we wouldn't have known who the hell Birdie was, so they had to do that, I was like that's fine.
Speaker 2:I did like Loki as being a timeshare guy, though.
Speaker 3:That was pretty good.
Speaker 3:So there were parts of it that definitely were were funny, because he was like and and the fact that it was like tom hiddleston doing it, like right now, uh, and I like the fact that now fury has a outro fury out, fury out he needs to do that in a movie oh yeah, he's 100% he's got to do it in a movie, though I'm curious now, with the new movies coming out, is the Watcher going to show up Like because Jeffrey, right, yeah, I think he's supposed to play a live-action version of the Watcher, as he should In one of them, so I agreed. So curious how that what they're going to do with that. I don't think it'll be related to peggy carter, because they know she's coming back. Haley abner's coming back as captain carter, but I don't think she's coming back as that version.
Speaker 3:Obviously they're all freaking, yeah yeah yeah, so again't terrible, just not what I expected. I wish they wouldn't have called it. What If just call it Marvel Multiverse? I would have felt better about it Kind of like the whole Bo-Katan Season 3.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Season 1. Season 1 of Bo-Katan.
Speaker 3:Exactly. It's like little stuff like that. It's like all right, all right.
Speaker 2:Are either of you watching Creature Commandos?
Speaker 3:I thought Jack was.
Speaker 1:I was, I was caught up.
Speaker 3:I forget which episode.
Speaker 2:I haven't watched it for a couple weeks.
Speaker 1:I'm enjoying that a lot.
Speaker 3:I heard too many good things about it to pass on it, so I will get to that. I just haven't got time.
Speaker 2:I'm still enjoying that a lot. I think we have one or two more episodes. Oh, that's not bad, then I'll just binge the last few. Exactly Then I can binge it.
Speaker 3:Especially since I know it's supposed to tie in to the DCEU. It's not called that DCEU. Is that what it is? It's not EU. The old one was EU right.
Speaker 2:And this one is DCU. I think it's DCU Whatever.
Speaker 3:Either way it's tied into the new universe, the gunverse That'll work. So yeah again, not just you, but I've heard some people at work said it was pretty good too. So I was like, alright, sounds good enough for me, I'll give it a shot.
Speaker 1:So that'll be fun. We watched Poor Things me. I'll give it a shot, so that'll be fun. We watched um poor things, emma stone what?
Speaker 3:does that sound familiar?
Speaker 1:oh yeah, she won an oscar naked in it. She won an oscar right. Yeah, I think so. It was good.
Speaker 3:It was weird she won an oscar, so it came out last year like two years ago, yeah came out a while. Nevermind, I heard good things about that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was weird as hell, but I like that's exactly what I heard.
Speaker 2:Um.
Speaker 3:I didn't know she was butt ass naked in that full frontal thing and she's wearing Mark Ruffalo time to time to end the Hulk.
Speaker 1:Um, it's like okay it's in the pod, it's on Hulu, alright goodnight everybody.
Speaker 2:Thanks for joining, and Lou never joins this. Lou has gotten all he needs out of us.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you see me looking this way and you know I put it up on the TV.
Speaker 2:I finally got around to watching Gladiator 2 last night, nice.
Speaker 1:More porn Gladiator there were no titties in that movie.
Speaker 3:Nope, no titties at all but I mean it was fine it was just fine, nothing yeah nothing memorable happened.
Speaker 2:I mean the callbacks and everything were fine. Like I, I you know, I appreciated the callbacks. I, you know, kind of got a little fan service-y there a little bit, but I liked the spoilers that they made Denzel the bad guy, where in the first one that character, that position was a good guy.
Speaker 3:What I liked is the parallels. You had one of them because they both knew the main dude, the Marcus Aurelius, whatever the main dude that died in the beginning of the first one, except one, was like oh, I loved and adored him and he's my dude. And the other one was like he fucked us over, so fuck him.
Speaker 1:He's like, oh, all right, that's cool that they took that. It was a fine movie.
Speaker 2:It doesn't have to exist though I mean, oh yeah, for sure lived without it. I would have been fine if I would have not missed anything by not knowing about that one. It would have been fine. Yeah, I, when I was uh talking uh to a couple of my friends about it. One of them was like so you fill the coliseum up with water and somehow you get sharks, even though we're in like we're nowhere near where sharks would be.
Speaker 3:That was my thing. That's what I said.
Speaker 2:How are you a shark wrangler? Wouldn't that be the shittiest job Look?
Speaker 1:they had the gods. Okay, they still had the gods. Back then they hooked it up.
Speaker 3:There we go. I mean it should have been gators. Let's be real, it should have been gators. Sharks look good. Okay, that is true, that did look good on screen. I'm not going to argue that. What else? Oh, nosferatu, I saw that scary you know what?
Speaker 3:I don't know that I would call it scary, so much that I would call it a little bit fucking with your head and absolutely disturbing and disgusting and it's just like wow, I enjoyed it a lot. It's super artsy, super slow. The difference is this actually wrapped itself up in two hours. So there is that For other slow shit that doesn't, but either way, no, it was very well done. Again, it's absolutely an artsy version of the vampire movie and it was well done. And was it Lily Rose? Is that?
Speaker 2:the Lily Rose. Yeah, Johnny Depp's daughter.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Depp's kid with the model girl. She acted her ass off in this one. The shit that was happening to her and all the mental shit. I mean it's not up there for me with the game when it comes to brain teases, but it was, this movie will fuck with you. I'm sitting there watching. I was like that happened. I'm like okay, Did he really just?
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 3:That's what they're going to do.
Speaker 3:There was some disturbing shit in there. I'm telling you that right now it was just like okay. So yeah, I enjoyed it. I will definitely recommend it. If you guys get a chance to watch that one, absolutely do it. You don't need to go full. If you get, if you get, a five dollar tuesday movie on tightwad tuesday, absolutely do it. Uh, matinee for you, jack, I suppose. Uh, since you don't have the tuesday opportunity, uh, unless it's late night, I suppose you could catch a late night tuesday mat, or yeah, but that would.
Speaker 3:That would be ridiculous. That's like pushing it, um, but yeah, it was. It was like it was one of those where I, I, I might go watch it again. It was just just to have a different take on it. Now that I know, dude, yeah, absolutely creeper, because when you, knowing what I know and what I'm gonna see, um, and it's not, it's, and again, it's not even crazy they don't show you and, which makes it worse, because you put your own brain and put your own images like they they hint, hint, uh, I don't want to say allude, because you basically know what happened, so there is not even an allusion to it. Right, you know what happened. They don't show you what happened, so you put your own version of what you, whatever you grew up with on this type of incident, you're going to put your version in it, so you're going to find out how fucked up your own head is watching this and.
Speaker 3:I already knew how fucked up mine was, so this wasn't a problem.
Speaker 2:Oh boy Jackson would be unpacking a lot of boxes during that movie. He'd be crying.
Speaker 3:It was just like what the fuck. But yeah, it was again. It doesn't really get started, unfortunately, until like the first, after first 45 minutes or so, because it is slow. But once it gets going it's like, yeah, that last I don't know half hour or 45 minutes. I'm just sitting there just like, uh, that, they did that, okay, they did that too, like all right. And then it's just mental shit going on. It was just wild.
Speaker 2:You're going to go back and watch the OG version of it.
Speaker 3:I am now. Actually I after watching it. I never really curious, for you know 50 years now.
Speaker 3:I'm kind of like oh, I wonder how this compare. That was after the movie was over. I was like I wonder how this compares to the original or the other two rather. And I was like you know what I think when I'm bored, I will watch them both eventually. I'll watch the original first and then I'll watch the remake and then see how they compare to this one. I know it's like the whole combo Nosferatu, with the whole Bram Stoker's thing going on and obviously a lot of similarities and a lot of liberties as well. Uh, but, well done, I not gonna lie, it was well done.
Speaker 1:It wasn't liberties. They straight up sued them and said destroy this movie.
Speaker 3:Well, that did happen. I think they kept like one copy of her or something like that, and but yeah, but yeah it is, I liked it. I'm not going to sit there and say, oh, I'll buy it or anything like that, but it's hard for me to buy movies these days with streaming available, right, but yeah, it was Star Wars movies, I think to. Only Star Wars and Transformers are really all that I've purchased in the last little while. If it's a Star Wars movie, I bought it. If it's a Transformers movie, I bought it. That's about it. Not too many. Now I think about it. I need to buy Deadpool, though I enjoyed that one enough to buy it. So when Disney gets buried for coming out of being all their people being on that pedo list, when Trump releases it, that's going to be great.
Speaker 1:It's going to come down and the M's? There's going to be one crossed out. There's going to be one crossed out on the T list. I wonder who was there.
Speaker 2:One crossed out on the V list.
Speaker 3:Nah, he's too young. He wouldn't have been there for that time. T list for sure.
Speaker 2:V list.
Speaker 3:I wouldn't be surprised A lot of.
Speaker 2:Well, I don't get his wife z on the z list, this whole z list. On the z part of the list, one name will be who has z? We post on facebook, so I don't want to say jack posts us on facebook, so I don't want to oh, there's a z there okay fuzzy like did you never? Did you ever watch the social network? No oh, all right. Well, there you go. I guess that would be jack knows who I'm talking about. Yeah, I got you, okay, thanks.
Speaker 3:Okay, we're talking about this oh yeah, okay, I got you now.
Speaker 2:Allegedly, allegedly.
Speaker 3:What I don't get is why is it a big deal to hide the list? What's the consequence? What am I missing? The bigger picture? Obviously there is one, or it would be out. There's obviously a bigger picture If these names come out. What's the damage? What is serious?
Speaker 1:So we get rid of a bunch of pedos. Who cares? Right exactly.
Speaker 3:Now I understand that half of them will be from Hollywood, so we'll have to get new up-and-coming actors, and the other half will be politicians. What's?
Speaker 2:the loss. I think the problem is that there's a lot of money probably on that list that is lining the pockets of a lot of the people who are in our government right now and they don't want to jeopardize that income. They don't want to get rid of their cash cows.
Speaker 1:Exactly Cut your nose to spite your face type of thing, so we need a new Snowden to do the right thing Exactly.
Speaker 3:Between that and the Diddy List. Come on people, why is? This so hard. Diddy List. You need the Diddy List I didn't thought of golf man.
Speaker 2:Nikki Glaser did have a couple good jokes during the Golden Globes the monologue about Diddy. She was like I'm sorry to say that the after party is going to suck this year. Wow, it's going to be disappointing guys Double jokes. Stanley Tucci's after party doesn't have the same weight.
Speaker 3:That's a damn thing. I did hear that she was going to. I didn't read the article, but she was going to leave the. That's a damn thing. I did hear it like that she was going to. I didn't read the article, but she was going to leave the Blake Lively story alone. Yeah, and I'm. I didn't read it, but if I, when I first, my first thought was probably because it's a harassment issue and she doesn't want to make fun of harassment.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 3:So I could see that.
Speaker 2:I saw something else too that said that it could be a lot bigger thing, like with him or with the whole like there's a the situation.
Speaker 2:I think there, there there's been some conversation that these that that is not an isolated incident, and it's kind of like the jonathan majors thing where like, oh, oh, this one person said one thing, oh, now all these other people are going, yep, yep, here's my story here. So I think, oh, ok, I think that's the, I think that's what's happening. And so, probably talking about that, when it could be legally, if legal stuff gets involved, and you're sitting there kind of laughing at the jokes.
Speaker 1:And it's like ah, you were, you were in it sitting there kind of laughing at the jokes and it's like I, you were, you were in it, on it like that's okay.
Speaker 3:So, um, and who is this person that was hosting?
Speaker 2:I never heard her she's a comedian she's she's mostly well known for. Her notoriety for the most part comes from the comedy central rose, like of tom brady, the one that's the one that she knows, but she's done a few of them, so she's pretty good at being on stage and being able to just like rag on people.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's cool. It's just hard to piece together female comedians, so it's fine. Are they making jokes about doing dishes?
Speaker 2:Not too many of those she was talking about raping about rape laid out next to the big she has a bit where she talks about how all animal sex is rape, because it is like, if you think, about it like why would it be rape? Because it's that's a, there's no there's, for the most part, animals are that sheep didn't say yes to you.
Speaker 1:yeah, it's not consensual for the most part, animals are not that sheep didn't say yes to you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's not consensual for the most part.
Speaker 3:Well, I'm not fucking sheep, so they don't need to say yes to me. We don't know what bah means. Bah can mean guess some. Or like when a cat puts his front down and lift that ass up in the air and the other cat comes and mounts. That's permission. It's like hey, come guess something, Lou hears back that ass up, Exactly I hear ass Like, yeah, I am back.
Speaker 1:I'm a bad girl.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you are.
Speaker 2:Yeah you are.
Speaker 1:I can't wait to see what the AI says about that. Join us as they make sheep sex jokes.
Speaker 2:As they talk warmly about animal rape.
Speaker 3:Oh, I think they have to buzz that word. I don't think YouTube will let that stay, or they'll only count for monetization.
Speaker 2:As they talk about animal rappers. Yeah, we're only like 300,000 subscribers away from being monetized. We're fine, we're almost there 2025, that's our year.
Speaker 3:If we keep this shit up, we'll be there by 2055. Fuck.
Speaker 2:What episode are we on 39?, 40?
Speaker 1:It's fucking huge is what it is.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it is. Let me see 40?

Speaker 1:That's what she's saying. Let me see, I'm going to just whip it out here.
Speaker 3:She met your butthole after she pegged you, but that's a different story. Let me whip it out here. Yeah, you do that. Whip it out so I can get the reflection off your glasses.
Speaker 1:Why aren't you tell me episode numbers? That's rude.

Speaker 1:No, there's not one, there's not one with the quiz Star Wars, quiz Seven, eight, nine we have nine episodes in double digits.
Speaker 3:Oh, actually, that's okay, I would have lost that bet. I would have put the over-under at five.
Speaker 2:Five and a half, it's all.
Speaker 3:That's pretty good.
Speaker 1:February 25th is when we launched Coming up on our anniversary.
Speaker 3:Oh, we'll have to have a special anniversary episode.

Speaker 1:Well, you did go to the movies recently. Yeah, I'm sure I did.
Speaker 3:I just can't remember what it was. We'll have to do another trailer thing. It's been a couple months, did I just can't remember what it was. We'll have to do another trailer thing. It's been a couple months. Yeah, odd months.
Speaker 2:It's a movie dry spell right now.
Speaker 3:Yeah, screw the movie. The trailer is what's coming up in the next two months. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Captain America is something else. After that, Another horror movie. You watch Nosferatu, so you get a bunch of horror movie shit. Something looked good. I'll have to go back and look Like right before you send your list over. Duke, I usually go and do the YouTube 35 minutes of trailers and see what's coming out. Yeah, yeah, yeah and this time.
Speaker 3:I might take notes this time so I remember what the hell's on Netflix and what's on Prime and what's actually going on in the movie theater.
Speaker 2:Know where to watch it. You guys see that Aubrey Plaza's husband killed himself. It sounds like Yep.
Speaker 3:I didn't know she was married.
Speaker 2:Been married for three years, 2021?.
Speaker 3:So you're saying she's single?
Speaker 2:Yes, luke, that's exactly what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:That's what I heard. She needs comforting, and I don't mean a blanket.
Speaker 2:Well, guys, it's been good. It's been a good ride. We almost beat it a whole year Almost.
Speaker 3:Do we have any? What news? What the issue was? Did they have any problems?
Speaker 2:I haven't read any, it just happened a couple days ago. I think they're still. I just saw today that it was a suicide. I knew that he had died, but I didn't know. I just saw today it was a suicide, so they haven't really given anything else out maybe, maybe plaza's a bitch and we didn't know well, I I did see something that was saying that I guess he got a bunch of death threats and stuff after they got married from psychopaths.
Speaker 3:Um, so why would they kill yourself over that?
Speaker 2:well, I'm not. I'd say that type of stuff does wear on your mental health right, like when you're getting like constant death threats and and negative stuff in your life, like but I, they weren't saying it was related, but they were trying to like be like okay, well, what would have led him to?
Speaker 3:you know right right so what? The best speculation they come up with, and that's probably probably it yeah, just from what? But again, obviously we don't know what's going on behind the doors. Yeah, yeah yeah. Exactly.
Speaker 1:They can ask questions Exactly yeah.
Speaker 3:Is she coming off looking sad, or is she coming off looking like she's pretending to be sad and she's the one who really did it.
Speaker 1:Did she present at the Golden Globes tonight? She was scheduled for it.
Speaker 2:She was supposed to. I don't know if she did, I didn't. I just watched the monologue and that was it. I haven't watched any of the highlights.
Speaker 3:I didn't realize that was today.
Speaker 1:What do you think he's been talking about?
Speaker 3:I thought, just because it happened last week or something.
Speaker 2:Nope tonight, Right now.
Speaker 3:Huh, alright, I haven't watched one of those award shows in forever.
Speaker 1:Well, Neil won. He got a Golden Globe for the biggest heart in Star Wars.
Speaker 2:I thought it was the best hair in Star Wars.
Speaker 3:No, jack did it to him. That's superficial.
Speaker 1:Hair is superficial. Sir Jack goes inside. That's what's in here, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, like Sonic knows.
Speaker 1:Yeah, my lungs, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 3:Do people actually give a shit about the award shows anymore? Like seriously, I know all the ratings have dropped. People do.
Speaker 2:Again, it's a bunch of back-slapping right, self-back-slapping right.
Speaker 1:So we're going to have to do an award show. That'll be our anniversary. We'll give each other awards. There you go.
Speaker 2:Best podcast editor Dude right there.
Speaker 3:Buzzsprout.

Speaker 3:It's an honor to be nominated. I'll probably win. The one for least likely to talk about politics yeah, probably.
Speaker 2:It'll be a three-way tie for the biggest dick.
Speaker 3:Probably that too, yeah.
Speaker 2:Jack and I physically, lou, mentally.
Speaker 3:I'm just thinking, put all three of ours together and we got one normal size. So we're good, there you go. Yeah, put all three of ours together and we got one normal size.
Speaker 2:So we're good, there you go yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:The three of us can satisfy one woman Speaking of being nominated. Oh what? No, no, no.
Speaker 1:Speaking of pleasing one woman, I guess that also fits. You see, Patrick Mahomes did not get taken to the Pro Bowl. Now I get that.
Speaker 3:he doesn't always play Well, he didn't earn it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly, but otherwise he's the best ever.
Speaker 3:But I mean the rings kind of go along.
Speaker 1:Do you think he's going to care if he walks home with a championship again?
Speaker 3:But yeah, his numbers. Compared to the three that made it ahead of him Lamar Jackson, josh Allen and Joe Burrow his numbers were actually not even close to theirs. He absolutely did not deserve it. There's some people who made it every year that don't deserve it. Travis Kelsey didn't deserve it. John U Smith should have went over Travis Kelsey. Yeah, there's snubs every year. The dude from the Lions like the number one rated PFF player safety.
Speaker 2:Dirty Kirby Joseph.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he didn't even make it and he's the best safety in the league. So, yeah, half of it's a popularity award, so it's like whatever. Oh, your name is still up there. Oh, we know who your name is. Okay, yeah, we'll give it to you. Do y'all not watch Red Zone?
Speaker 1:Watch Red Zone and you'll see who's good and who's not. I only watch for Taylor's boyfriend, even with the commercials.
Speaker 3:That's why he won the fan vote, did it.
Speaker 1:Taylor's boyfriend, taylor's boyfriend, such crap. Taylor's boyfriend, taylor's boyfriend.
Speaker 3:He shall henceforth be known Well. His brother had something.
Speaker 1:We were at the store. His brother had something.
Speaker 2:I don't know if it was a Sprite or alcohol or something. I think the Bills will beat him.
Speaker 1:But Jason had like his beard and shit on some Like on a drink?
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was like a can of I don't know.
Speaker 1:There's a Sprite Like on a drink. Can you say, yeah, it was like a can of. I don't know if it was soda or beer, but it was like Jason's beard and his eyebrows and shit.
Speaker 2:I forget what it was that's weird what he's like a late-night host or something, yeah.
Speaker 1:He also has a podcast, that's how he scored his brother.
Speaker 2:Him and his brother have had a podcast.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they've had a podcast for a couple of years. Are you saying he has his own now on top of that?
Speaker 2:I think he's hosting a late night TV show on ESPN or something.
Speaker 3:I did hear about that though Something like that, you're right. And then his wife has her show yeah, her podcast.
Speaker 2:Yeah, talking about the trials and tribulations of being an NFL wife, because it's so hard.
Speaker 3:I don't know that Buffalo makes it to the championship game to play Kansas City. They might lose to Baltimore, yeah, maybe. So if Buffalo loses to Baltimore, buffalo's coach is getting fired Just throwing it out there right now. You can't have Josh Allen in his prime and keep losing game after game after game in the playoff.
Speaker 2:You can't do it. Critical game, right? Who cares how many times you go 13-3 in the regular season? 13-4? It has to be 13-4, right.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but yeah, think about it. What happened in Tampa? Tony Dungy couldn't get him over the hump. They bring in Gruden. They win the Super Bowl the very next year. So this will be the same thing. If they fire the coach and bring in a competent coach, I will put money on Buffalo to win the whole thing, because sometimes you just need a different voice. But I think it will be Kansas. Kansas City will probably beat whoever comes out of their bracket, but then they'll have to play Baltimore or Buffalo in Kansas City, and if it's I don't know, I think it's Baltimore. Man, I think Baltimore's a better team.
Speaker 1:Did you see Tyreek Hill quit in the middle of the game? Who Tyreek Hill?
Speaker 3:No, I did not see that. I saw something that said I'm out. When it came to him being a dolphin, that he's out. I did not know. That was the middle of the game. It was the first time hearing this Holy shit.
Speaker 1:Their coach was doing his after thing and he said yeah, everybody else is out here hustling, and then I was told that Tyreek was unavailable. Nobody, I guess afterwards Tyreek's claiming like a wrist injury. He's like nobody told me that.
Speaker 3:As far as I know, he quit in the middle of the game, damn oh, that'll be on news tomorrow.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I did not hear anything about that.
Speaker 3:All I saw was when I was out feeding the cat, and so I couldn't watch all of. I didn't watch the third quarter of the Minnesota game tonight.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:And then when I looked at the score at a stoplight, I just saw the article, something like that, where Tyreek Hill talking about Miami and there was the quote I'm out. I'm like, oh okay. Now again, I didn't read the article, so that could have been I'm out because I have a hurt wrist. As in, I'm out.
Speaker 2:No, he said he's done with the Dolphins too, he said. His quote is this is the first time I haven't been in the playoffs. I just got to do what's best for me and my family. If that's here, or whatever the case may be, I'm fitting to open that door for myself. I'm opening the door. I'm out bro. It was great playing here, but at the end of the day, bro, I got to do what's best for my career. It was great playing here, but at the end of the day, bro, I got to do what's best for my career.
Speaker 1:I'm too much of a competitor to just be out there or be just out there. Lord knows that's the first time he's ever pulled out of anything I'll enjoy it.
Speaker 3:You know what, though? Miami had again injuries. Tyreek himself was injured. So Miami's in the playoffs 100%. If Tua doesn't get hurt, if Waddle doesn't get hurt, if Tyreek doesn't get hurt. They only missed the playoffs by basically a game, maybe two. I think if they won two more than they did, they would have taken the Broncos spot. So yeah, because if Broncos lost tonight and Miami won, miami would have been in the playoffs and Broncos are out.
Speaker 3:So it's like, dude, injuries happen You're not going to make it every time, because shit happens and injuries. If your quarterback stayed healthy, you would have won two of the five games he missed, or two of the six games he missed, and those two would have got you in the playoffs. So calm the hell down. Oh, we need to be better. It's like, dude, you actually have a good team. You just happened to get the injury bug. Like the fucking Niners. You think anybody in the Niners wants to quit their team? No, they know what happened and they know they're going to be fucking badass, probably win their division next year. Calm down.
Speaker 2:They did. In that same article they said the Dolphins said they are going to bring back McDaniel and the GM.
Speaker 3:Alright, so there's one less position that will be open. But again, I don't think I would have fired him either, because he's a good coach. He's a player's coach and if it wasn't for injuries they would have been fine. Jeez, people trip out way too easily. There's no patience. Uh-uh, gotta win now. The Detroit method the last three years with Dan Campbell proves that the shit can work. Now the argument, the flip side of that is the Rams won a Super Bowl three years ago with the no patience method of just bringing in all-stars, screw your draft picks and then we'll just win this year. And it worked, although they've turned it back around, man, because they're back in the playoffs. They won their division and they've got an upcoming team that's starting to look pretty good, so not too shabby.
Speaker 1:Full circle Started with the football In on the ball.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we'll be able to talk some playoffs next week, minus one game.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because that last game we won't be able to talk about?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know, right, the one he cares about, he won't be able to talk about we'll have to to sim it on Madden or something for him.
Speaker 1:There you go.
Speaker 2:Sim it a hundred times, that'd be kind of cool.
Speaker 3:I'm curious like how, how, how the now with with all 14 teams in, like how they're? I'm sure they've already ran their 10,000 simulations. What does it say? As long as Philly doesn't get there, I don't give a shit. I hate Philly.
Speaker 2:Philly does suck, their fans suck more.
Speaker 3:That is a win for me. Packers play Philly opening weekend. One of those fuckers gets to go home.
Speaker 1:I'm already winning that game.
Speaker 3:One of y'all gone. I love it already.
Speaker 1:I just want everybody to have fun.
Speaker 3:All y'all have a great game, one of y'all going home, and as long as you tie and both of you go home.
Speaker 2:I'm okay with that. Oh, that'd be better. Yeah, I'd push for that.
Speaker 3:I don't know which one I'd want to lose more. To lose more? I think Philly, because the Packers are our worst team. So that way the Packers have a more likely chance to lose the following week. If Philly wins this week, they're probably going to win the next week. Then they'll end up playing Detroit or something like that in the championship game. They've already played that game. I think Detroit won it. So that's good. Let's knock out Philly first, Then we can knock off the Packers, and then we'll have ourselves a Detroit-Minnesota title game Again, third time this year. Maybe Sam won't wet the bed, yeah.
Speaker 2:They'll bring in Daniel Jones, and Daniel Jones will lead us to the promised land.
Speaker 3:I'm trying to think how does Minnesota win but not play the Detroit Lions the first game? Oh, that means the 6th or 7th team has to win next week. Yeah, so the Packers win.
Speaker 2:Or the.
Speaker 3:Washington or the Commanders win and Minnesota wins, then they won't play Detroit. Okay, all right, there's a way. There's a way, but I don't know. I don't know why, but I'm kind of rooting for Tampa Bay. I don't know what it is about them, but probably because they fucked over Baker Mayfield so badly in Cleveland.
Speaker 1:I like a good revenge story.
Speaker 3:Yeah, basically, just turn on that hate, so we're good. But there's really, I think, detroit and Minnesota, tampa. I guess I'd be okay with them three. No Packers, no Eagles, no, who's left Commanders? Nope, don't want Commanders. The Washington Football Club yeah, washington, yeah, exactly, we're going to take off the fucking redskins.
Speaker 1:Your headphones just got a little wonky there, lou. That's weird, we were listening to those balls.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're still wonky. Yeah, step right up against your balls, man Come on.
Speaker 3:All that happened was an earpiece came out that messed up everything, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Feedback. It's a motherfucker. They're still doing it. Well, that's the one with your microphone, microphone. So when you take it out of your ear, there you go. Now it's doing it.
Speaker 3:That's a microphone. I was like, oh, there's a button on here.
Speaker 1:Now you're all loud now too.
Speaker 3:Yeah, wow, this is crazy.
Speaker 2:ASMR people.
Speaker 3:I was 10 years old when I learned that, all right, y'all, we got to knock this out.
Speaker 2:I was looking at the bracket to try to figure out next week.
