that's too bad for everybody that just listens. I can't see how handsome we all are.
Speaker 2I 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 3We all know his lips are his best feature, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1So I keep the goatee.
Speaker 2How are y'all feeling?
Speaker 3about the end of the NFL regular season. I mean obviously the Raiders.
Speaker 1How 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 3Oh, that means swag.
Speaker 1No, you give a shit what? No towels, no keychains.
Speaker 2No shirt Wow.
Speaker 3You know what, though? That's good, y'all saving your money to get those free agents Right Raiders.
Speaker 1They did give us 25% off in the store, though.
Speaker 2You think they're going to bring Pierce back for next year?
Speaker 3Hell no.
Speaker 1No, I'm surprised he's not fired yet. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2They already gave a guy walking papers, right yeah.
Speaker 3Mayo 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 2So 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 3it depends like again, we don't know what the interoffice politics. From what I'm hearing, that was the issue, not his coach.
Speaker 1So 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 3I I think they will fire him. I don't think they should fire.
Speaker 2I 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 3Maybe 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 3But 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 2Give me the shopping list. Yeah, work with me to get good ingredients yeah, work with me to get good ingredients.
Speaker 3Hey, 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 1I do not accept these substitutes.
Speaker 3Right, it's such crap.
Speaker 1Cancel my order.
Speaker 3We'll see what happens. Obviously, the Bears are already looking for a coach. They fired theirs a while ago.
Speaker 2And 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 3Yeah, I think Salah got fired in like week five or something like that.
Speaker 2Yeah, they've been intern coaching for a while, and the Bears are in the same boat.
Speaker 3So 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 3And 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 2Go ahead Sorry.
Speaker 3The 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 2You get Will Levis another year. Hell no.
Speaker 3You 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 2Being 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 3Exactly. 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 3Yeah, 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 1I already saw that they said oh, you guys were hating on Bo Nix.
Speaker 3They're already doing it.
Speaker 1Look at him now.
Speaker 2Oh my God. Look at him now.
Playoff Matchup Predictions and Analysis
Speaker 3Yeah, look at him now, man, you're a bunch of college kids. You played against paper.
Speaker 2How are you feeling about the Steelers man with the four losses rolling into the playoffs? That's rough.
Speaker 3Oh, 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 3The 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 3I 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 2Fuck 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 3All 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 1Yeah, you beat each other up and all that shit.
Speaker 3So 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 2It'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 2You 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 3Yeah, 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 3So 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 2Carolina. They'll get to be the Carolina, the Saints and Jacksonville, yeah those type, well, jacksonville, yeah, those types.
Speaker 3Well, jacksonville is AFC, but but yeah.
Speaker 2Oh, um Chicago. This is what they're playing next year. They got.
Speaker 1Cardinals, Seahawks, Rams, Falcons, Panthers, Jags, Titans, bears. Those are all the home games.
Speaker 3They got, they've got.
Speaker 1Cardinals, Seahawks, Rams, Saints, Bucs, Texans, Colts, Giants, Browns.
Speaker 3Jesus, I'm not kidding, they could go 15-2 with that schedule.
Speaker 2Yeah, with that schedule. Holy crap, Unless half those teams do some sort of revolutionary thing with their rosters.
Speaker 3Like 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 1They can cheer themselves up by just going and watching.
Speaker 3Oh darn, I'm sad, sad, sad, sad Broncos fans.
Speaker 1They can cheer themselves up by just going and watching Skeleton Crew and eyeballing.
Speaker 3Neil the whole time. Yeah, yeah, Total take. So yeah, next year's going to be interesting.
Speaker 2And, 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 3They 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 3Stop 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 2He 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 3Yep, 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 2That's a home field advantage right there.
Speaker 3They 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 1Yeah, exactly, I'm looking. We'll hold up. I'm looking, I'm looking.
Speaker 3No, 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 2There's no money line for Vikings, oh no.
Speaker 1Sorry, that's this week.
Speaker 2So give me a second, let's see.
Speaker 3Okay 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 1Okay, hold up All right.
Speaker 2Here we go, here we go.
Speaker 1Clinch 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 3No, 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 2Chargers at Houston Chargers by 2.5.
Speaker 3Stop. 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 2Yeah, five seed at the three seed.
Speaker 3We already know it's five seed at the four seed.
Speaker 2Oh, did Texas slide down On this page? It has them as the three seed.
Speaker 3The three seed is Baltimore.
Speaker 2Oh, you know what? Somebody just screwed up when they wrote up the article. That's right.
Speaker 3I 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 2Steelers at Baltimore.
Speaker 3Steelers at Baltimore. The 7 seed at the 3 seed yeah.
Speaker 2Baltimore Steelers are 6, seed Broncos are 7.
Speaker 3Yeah, Broncos are 7. 6 seed at the 3 seed I'm going to go Baltimore favored by five and a half.
Speaker 2Oh what do you think Eight and a half? I see nine and a half.
Speaker 3Holy crap, dude. Yeah, all right. Only reason I'm giving it that cushion is because they're rivals. They play all the time.
Speaker 2Yeah, very familiar with each other.
Speaker 3Exactly 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 1Broncos at Bills.
Speaker 3The first game is Broncos at Bills Seven at two Eight and a half.
Speaker 2Yep Bills by eight and a half.
Speaker 3There we go Okay.
Speaker 2All right, yep Bills by 8.5. There we go. Okay, alright, nfc. Then the NFC games Packers at Philly 7 at 2.
Speaker 3Packers at Philly, philly, 5.5.
Speaker 24.5. But. I think a lot of that will depend on, if Love is actually hurt, how bad Love is hurt.
Speaker 3Yeah, and Watson too.
Speaker 2Well, considering Watson got carted off, I'm guessing he's probably out for a bit.
Speaker 3I haven't seen any updates. But yeah, probably, If that's the case, that number could get bigger.
Speaker 2Commanders at Tampa Bay. Ooh, that should be a close one.
Speaker 3That should be a close one. They're probably going to give the home field, which I hate these days.
Speaker 2They'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 3Vikings at the Rams.
Speaker 2Vikings at the Rams. Does your page have that Jack?
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 3Okay, hello, vikings two and a half, jack, yeah, vikings, two and a half.
Speaker 1That's what mine says Two and a half.
Speaker 2Mine wasn't updated.
Speaker 3Oh, yeah, not too bad For a.
Speaker 1Super Bowl winner we have Detroit at plus 300.
Speaker 3Detroit's plus 300. Is that the best odds? Yeah, for the.
Speaker 1ESPN yeah, and then to make the Super Bowl Detroit's plus 300. Is that the?
Speaker 2best odds Is Detroit yeah, for the ESPN, yeah.
Speaker 3And then to make the Super.
Speaker 1Bowl or win it KC's at 350.
Speaker 3Okay, so they expect KC versus Detroit then.
Speaker 2Jack, 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 3So if I would have given you 100 bucks. Get the hell out of here.
Speaker 2Damn yeah, if I would have given you 100 bucks.
Speaker 3Rich 8,000 to 1?
Speaker 2That 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 3Nobody 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 1Vikings are plus 1,400 to to the Super Bowl with Torrey Bolton, Isaac Bruce.
Speaker 3Vikings 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 1No come on.
Speaker 3I'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 2According 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 3I 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 2Offense 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 3Exactly. 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 1I don't remember every second of that game at all. No, no, that was some bullshit.
Speaker 2Whatever, 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 3Yeah, 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 2Somebody teased themselves yesterday by winning Bruh.
Speaker 3The 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 2But it worked out for him.
Speaker 3They 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 2If you're the Browns, do you just eat the Watson money and just let him go, like you cut him right.
Speaker 3No no.
Speaker 2Or you just put him on the bench.
Speaker 3You 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 2I 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 3These 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 3Roethlisberger 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 1So 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.
NFL Draft Mock and Schedule Analysis
Speaker 3So, 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 2The website tankathoncom.
Speaker 3That's a real website.
Speaker 2Their 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 3Who's four at the Patriots.
Speaker 2I'm not even going to try to pronounce his name Macmillan from Arizona. Wide receiver from Arizona.
Speaker 3I don't think that's a good move for the Patriots, but okay.
Speaker 2The 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 3Kelvin 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 1Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're coming out for the giants, for sure.
Speaker 3Okay, 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 2I don't think the the Vikings don't. No, because they won't be at the same.
Speaker 3Yeah, they're at the same level.
Speaker 1Let's see Two versus four. We have Chiefs, chargers, broncos, jags, titans, cowboys, giants Bears, browns Bears. Those are the home games, yeah.
Speaker 3Giants Browns Bears.
Speaker 2Hmm, 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 2South 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 3Chargers. 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 2Lou, we could go see the Steelers and Vikings play.
Speaker 3I was just going to say am I meeting you in Pittsburgh? Or what for the Vikings and the Steelers?
Speaker 1Mm-hmm or New York.
Speaker 3Although 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 2I'm good, I'm good, I'm good.
Speaker 3Me 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 2I'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 3I 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 2Well, not chill, not chill, Relax.
Speaker 3Different type of chill.
Speaker 1It's like man, but yeah, I was like no, I'm going to suffer through it.
Speaker 3I'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 2Obviously, you know, sun goes down.
Speaker 3Dude 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 2Yeah, 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 3They're not getting them both. Yeah, and you've got to keep Chase, so Tee will be a Raider next year, yeah.
Speaker 2Congratulations, Jack Right.
Speaker 3Jacoby 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 2You 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 1Go get Scataboo. That'd even be fun to say. You might even buy that jersey Right you almost have to right that.
Speaker 3Just Don't get me be wrong. We're still getting the chinese one. I ain't paying 170 for that shit.
Speaker 1Yeah, 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 3Whoa.
Speaker 1Whoa Just car. I'm like bro your letter fell off.
Speaker 3It's like that's funny, it's like have you seen Derek Carplay.
Speaker 2I'm not the only R that's fallen off. Car wasn't the only thing that's fallen off, just saying.
Speaker 3That 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 2I 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 3You know, that's what I noticed in our games too.
Speaker 1They'd be wearing car jerseys. They got Devante jerseys. You said that dude had a Russell jersey, dude had a Ruggs jersey on.
Speaker 2Oh sorry, I thought it was Russell. It was Ruggs. Ruggs is even worse.
Speaker 3Yeah, 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 2I 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 1All 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 3At 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 2It's the safest space for me to wear my jersey.
Speaker 3To 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 2Yeah, I mean Joe Green.
Speaker 3Yeah, 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 2Current Bradshaw or just period?
Speaker 3Period. 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 2Like you said, Staples, I would be surprised. I feel like Cam Hayward is also probably a pretty safe one.
Speaker 3That's a good one too.
Speaker 1Like I could buy a Crosby jersey, I'd be fine.
Speaker 3Yeah, 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 2I have a Smith jersey. I got a Harrison Smith jersey.
Speaker 3That's a good one.
Speaker 2Then I have a Chris Dolman and John Randall.
Speaker 3Another pair of good ones. Damn, those would be the ones to get. No Randy Moss Vikings.
Speaker 2Not 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 1Maybe when we're in Japan in a couple months, since we're closer to China, you'll have better options.
Speaker 3You know what?
Speaker 1I 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 3Man, 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 1Right.
Speaker 3And especially with the yen rate being in our favor by a lot.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 3Yeah, 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 1I brought empty suitcases. I packed the suitcase inside my suitcase. That was it.
Speaker 3We 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 2I'll pack it.
Speaker 3I honestly did not think about that. That's actually a good idea.
Speaker 2I 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 3did he already get a second contract?
Speaker 2I don't remember he's the highest paid, a second highest paid wide receiver. I think who the hell?
Speaker 3is highest. Uh, who has more than fuck right?
Speaker 2right, let me look. I thought it was. I don't think he's the highest. Somebody in Colorado is the highest.
Speaker 3Wow, if he's not the yeah, I can't imagine anybody that's making more than NFL's highest players 2024.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 3I just played receivers.
Speaker 2I'm looking at the whole.
Speaker 3Well, I'm looking at the whole list here Quarterback quarterback, quarterback quarterback quarterback yes.
Speaker 2He 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 3I don't think he's better than Jefferson, but okay he is good, he should be top three Him, those two and Chase.
Speaker 2Yeah, somehow Dak Prescott's the highest paid player in the NFL.
Speaker 3Yeah, 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 2You wouldn't give it to Jordan Love, who's the number three highest paid NFL player.
Speaker 3Jordan Love needs to be on the bench. Fuck that dude.
Speaker 2He's a pass. I won't disagree with you, but that's because I'm a three-fuck-the-packers.
Speaker 3Yeah, and ever since the Super Bowl 2011, so am I.
Speaker 1No grudges, again, no grudges. I barely even remember that game. I had to look it up.
Speaker 2No. By the way he threw for 330 yards and three touchdowns. No.
Character Development in Skeleton Crew
Speaker 3Pittsburgh kept turning the ball. I just left, ended the third quarter, drove to Colorado that night, not even kidding.
Speaker 2That's how bad it was. You had to drive to a different state I left.
Speaker 3I 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 1Oh man, True story.
Speaker 2I 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 1You're rooting for the Against the.
Speaker 3Packers 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 2Lou a hater, what, no, I know.
Speaker 1News.
Speaker 2Speaking of Lou being a hater, let's talk about Skeleton Crew.
Speaker 3Let'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 2Follow, 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 3I 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 1but 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 3See, that was my problem.
Speaker 1I 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 3I said that early in the season, yeah, so something.
Speaker 1So it's something like that to keep her alive. At least that was what I inferred. Okay.
Speaker 3That 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 2But, 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 2I 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 2because 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 3now 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 1I mean she did shut down to where she had to lay down and she couldn't move and do it herself anymore. Right.
Speaker 3But 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 2I 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 3So 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 2no, 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 3Well, again we have what? Because he hasn't done anything on his own, he still had to be directed by KB.
Speaker 2But I think it's baby steps right.
Speaker 3Well, they got two episodes left. So I mean them. Babies need to grow up real fast.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 3Now, 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 2Yeah. 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 3You and everybody else.
Speaker 2And 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 2It'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.
Debating the Logic of Film Scenes
Speaker 3The girl pirate, the albino girl.
Speaker 1Who is Merida from Brave?
Speaker 3Yeah, bring her back. She's our new aura of seeing.
Speaker 2Right, yeah, but, yeah, but the pirates.
Speaker 3I 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 2Yeah, 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 3They'll be in the Mando movie.
Speaker 1Or Grogu will kill him.
Speaker 3I did like. I did like Silva's, uh uh, john, whatever name, whatever six name, whatever name he is.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 3Whichever 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 1Now, is that just charisma, or was there some force behind it? Charisma.
Speaker 3I didn't think about that, but I would go straight charisma, cause he's proven over and over again.
Speaker 2He'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 3The trap door thing still stupid to me. And then they're all going to go into four different pipes.
Speaker 1That shit happens in all the movies where they go down trap doors.
Speaker 3And 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 2That'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 1Don't act like we haven't all gone down at the same time.
Speaker 3I 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 2I 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 3No, 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 1I 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 3If you can't reach, then she has to lift him.
Speaker 2His adorable elephant fingers.
Star Wars Fan Discussion Analysis
Speaker 3I 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 1But you're questioning it after seeing train before you what you never jumped onto a moving train before.
Speaker 3I 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 2You 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 1Uh, 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 3Yeah, Did you not see the workout he did with freaking?
Speaker 2Yoda.
Speaker 1Man hell yeah.
Speaker 3And for the whole I don't know year he was there, since we have no idea how long he was there.
Speaker 1Yeah, it was three days.
Speaker 2Yeah, I heard it was like 72 hours.
Speaker 1It 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 3We don't know. I wish they would fix that.
Speaker 1Vader's just hanging out there for three years. Like are these motherfuckers show up yet?
Speaker 3I 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 1Pray, I don't have to deal any further.
Speaker 2Why does he always win at pickleball? Oh man.
Speaker 3But that was fine, the crab, whatever. It wasn't that big of a deal.
Speaker 2I liked the new ship thing.
Speaker 3The 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 1He just took the glove off.
Speaker 3Exactly. It's like what the hell.
Speaker 2Jimmy Cavill.
Speaker 3It 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 1And why didn't you do that a long time ago?
Speaker 3That'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 2And another one. You'll buy three of.
Speaker 3To 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 2Get 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 1I'm saving mine for when the movie comes out and he gets a new Razorcrest.
Speaker 3Then people don't want it again. I expect that to happen.
Speaker 1They've already shown it. There's a picture of Zeb and Mando in a Razorcrest cockpit from the movie.
Speaker 3Oh 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 3Oh 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 1Come back, conquering heroes.
Speaker 3Yeah, 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 1With Rey, she knows.
Speaker 3Jod.
Speaker 1I don't think Rey's born yet.
Speaker 3She's probably not actually. She's probably a few more years from being born, You're right.
Speaker 2This guy will show up. What's your last name, palpatine? And here's my wife. She's pregnant.
Speaker 3Exactly that would be some shit.
Speaker 2I need you to build a giant fleet of ships for me.
Speaker 3If 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 1Maybe Omega will show up.
Speaker 3I'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 2You bring in the Bad Batch or something, sure Okay.
Speaker 3If it made sense, why they're there?
Speaker 2absolutely, if it made sense why they're there, absolutely, I'm down. Just don't bring in Kaz from Resistance, please.
Speaker 3I want to know who they were. Anyway, hey guys.
Speaker 2Hey, what's going on.
Speaker 3I'm a spy. They already did that, didn't they? They brought the dad in.
Speaker 1The dad's in the sequel Ahsoka. He's in Ahsoka, yeah.
Speaker 3Yeah, he's in Ahsoka.
Speaker 2I thought he was in one of the sequels too, Mm-mm.
Speaker 3No it's just the tribunal with Hera. Do you guys finish what?
Speaker 1If 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 3To 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 1Here's Shang-Chi and Hawkeye as cowboys.
Speaker 3Yeah, they wouldn't have been born in the 18th.
Speaker 1Yeah, they were born hundreds of years earlier.
Speaker 3They'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 1Oh, I did, but it speaks to your point where that's not a what if that's a multi right.
Speaker 3Right, 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 2Howard to that episode.
Speaker 3See, 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 2But that was a callback. But that was a callback to the previous season.
Speaker 3Season two yeah, With the Thor party boy Thor.
Speaker 1And it did set up for the last two episodes.
Speaker 3I 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 2I did like Loki as being a timeshare guy, though.
Speaker 3That was pretty good.
Speaker 3So 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 3Obviously 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 2Yeah, Season 1. Season 1 of Bo-Katan.
Speaker 3Exactly. It's like little stuff like that. It's like all right, all right.
Speaker 2Are either of you watching Creature Commandos?
Speaker 3I thought Jack was.
Speaker 1I was, I was caught up.
Speaker 3I forget which episode.
Speaker 2I haven't watched it for a couple weeks.
Speaker 1I'm enjoying that a lot.
Speaker 3I heard too many good things about it to pass on it, so I will get to that. I just haven't got time.
Speaker 2I'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 3Especially 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 2And this one is DCU. I think it's DCU Whatever.
Speaker 3Either 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 1So 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 3does that sound familiar?
Speaker 1oh yeah, she won an oscar naked in it. She won an oscar right. Yeah, I think so. It was good.
Speaker 3It 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 1Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was weird as hell, but I like that's exactly what I heard.
Speaker 2Um.
Speaker 3I 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 1Um, it's like okay it's in the pod, it's on Hulu, alright goodnight everybody.
Speaker 2Thanks for joining, and Lou never joins this. Lou has gotten all he needs out of us.
Speaker 3Yeah, you see me looking this way and you know I put it up on the TV.
Speaker 2I finally got around to watching Gladiator 2 last night, nice.
Speaker 1More porn Gladiator there were no titties in that movie.
Movie and Hollywood Gossip Discussion
Speaker 3Nope, no titties at all but I mean it was fine it was just fine, nothing yeah nothing memorable happened.
Speaker 2I 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 3What 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 1He's like, oh, all right, that's cool that they took that. It was a fine movie.
Speaker 2It 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 3That was my thing. That's what I said.
Speaker 2How are you a shark wrangler? Wouldn't that be the shittiest job Look?
Speaker 1they had the gods. Okay, they still had the gods. Back then they hooked it up.
Speaker 3There 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 3I 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 2the Lily Rose. Yeah, Johnny Depp's daughter.
Speaker 3Yeah, 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 1Okay.
Speaker 3That's what they're going to do.
Speaker 3There 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 3That 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 3I already knew how fucked up mine was, so this wasn't a problem.
Speaker 2Oh boy Jackson would be unpacking a lot of boxes during that movie. He'd be crying.
Speaker 3It 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 2You're going to go back and watch the OG version of it.
Speaker 3I am now. Actually I after watching it. I never really curious, for you know 50 years now.
Speaker 3I'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 1It wasn't liberties. They straight up sued them and said destroy this movie.
Speaker 3Well, 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 1It'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 2One crossed out on the V list.
Speaker 3Nah, he's too young. He wouldn't have been there for that time. T list for sure.
Speaker 2V list.
Speaker 3I wouldn't be surprised A lot of.
Speaker 2Well, 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 3Okay, we're talking about this oh yeah, okay, I got you now.
Speaker 2Allegedly, allegedly.
Speaker 3What 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 1So we get rid of a bunch of pedos. Who cares? Right exactly.
Speaker 3Now 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 2the 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 1Exactly Cut your nose to spite your face type of thing, so we need a new Snowden to do the right thing Exactly.
Speaker 3Between 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 2Nikki 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 3That'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 2Right.
Speaker 3So I could see that.
Speaker 2I 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 2I 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 1And 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 3So, um, and who is this person that was hosting?
Speaker 2I 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 3Oh, that's cool. It's just hard to piece together female comedians, so it's fine. Are they making jokes about doing dishes?
Speaker 2Not 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 1yeah, it's not consensual for the most part, animals are not that sheep didn't say yes to you.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's not consensual for the most part.
Speaker 3Well, 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 1I'm a bad girl.
Speaker 3Yeah, you are.
Speaker 2Yeah you are.
Speaker 1I can't wait to see what the AI says about that. Join us as they make sheep sex jokes.
Speaker 2As they talk warmly about animal rape.
Speaker 3Oh, 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 2As 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 3If we keep this shit up, we'll be there by 2055. Fuck.
Speaker 2What episode are we on 39?, 40?
Speaker 1It's fucking huge is what it is.
Speaker 3Yeah, it is. Let me see 40?
Speaker 2It's fucking huge is what it is, yeah it is.
Speaker 1That's what she's saying. Let me see, I'm going to just whip it out here.
Speaker 3She 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 1Why aren't you tell me episode numbers? That's rude.

Speaker 2Five and a half, it's all.
Speaker 3That's pretty good.
Speaker 1February 25th is when we launched Coming up on our anniversary.
Speaker 3Oh, we'll have to have a special anniversary episode.

Speaker 2Oh sorry, oh no, that's a goat, sir. Oh sorry, Never.
Speaker 3Oh man, oh what else. I thought I saw a trailer or something, recently too. I was like well, that movie looks badass.
Speaker 1Well, you did go to the movies recently. Yeah, I'm sure I did.
Speaker 3I 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 2It's a movie dry spell right now.
Speaker 3Yeah, 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 3I 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 2Know where to watch it. You guys see that Aubrey Plaza's husband killed himself. It sounds like Yep.
Speaker 3I didn't know she was married.
Speaker 2Been married for three years, 2021?.
Speaker 3So you're saying she's single?
Speaker 2Yes, luke, that's exactly what I'm saying.
Speaker 3That's what I heard. She needs comforting, and I don't mean a blanket.
Speaker 2Well, guys, it's been good. It's been a good ride. We almost beat it a whole year Almost.
Speaker 3Do we have any? What news? What the issue was? Did they have any problems?
Speaker 2I 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 3Um, so why would they kill yourself over that?
Speaker 2well, 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 3you 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 1They can ask questions Exactly yeah.
Speaker 3Is 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 1Did she present at the Golden Globes tonight? She was scheduled for it.
Speaker 2She 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 3I didn't realize that was today.
Speaker 1What do you think he's been talking about?
Speaker 3I thought, just because it happened last week or something.
Speaker 2Nope tonight, Right now.
Speaker 3Huh, alright, I haven't watched one of those award shows in forever.
Speaker 1Well, Neil won. He got a Golden Globe for the biggest heart in Star Wars.
Speaker 2I thought it was the best hair in Star Wars.
Speaker 3No, jack did it to him. That's superficial.
Speaker 1Hair is superficial. Sir Jack goes inside. That's what's in here, yeah.
Speaker 3Yeah, like Sonic knows.
Speaker 1Yeah, my lungs, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 3Do people actually give a shit about the award shows anymore? Like seriously, I know all the ratings have dropped. People do.
Speaker 2Again, it's a bunch of back-slapping right, self-back-slapping right.
Speaker 1So 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 2Best podcast editor Dude right there.
Speaker 3Buzzsprout.
Speaker 1Buzzsprout AI, that's okay.
Speaker 3It's an honor to be nominated. I'll probably win. The one for least likely to talk about politics yeah, probably.
Speaker 2It'll be a three-way tie for the biggest dick.
Speaker 3Probably that too, yeah.
Speaker 2Jack and I physically, lou, mentally.
Speaker 3I'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 2So we're good, there you go yeah.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 3The three of us can satisfy one woman Speaking of being nominated. Oh what? No, no, no.
Speaker 1Speaking 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 3he doesn't always play Well, he didn't earn it.
Speaker 1Yeah, exactly, but otherwise he's the best ever.
Speaker 3But I mean the rings kind of go along.
Speaker 1Do you think he's going to care if he walks home with a championship again?
Speaker 3But 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 2Dirty Kirby Joseph.
Speaker 3Yeah, 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 1Watch 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 3That's why he won the fan vote, did it.
Speaker 1Taylor's boyfriend, taylor's boyfriend, such crap. Taylor's boyfriend, taylor's boyfriend.
Speaker 3He shall henceforth be known Well. His brother had something.
Speaker 1We were at the store. His brother had something.
Speaker 2I don't know if it was a Sprite or alcohol or something. I think the Bills will beat him.
Speaker 1But Jason had like his beard and shit on some Like on a drink?
Speaker 3Yeah, it was like a can of I don't know.
Speaker 1There'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 2I forget what it was that's weird what he's like a late-night host or something, yeah.
Speaker 1He also has a podcast, that's how he scored his brother.
Speaker 2Him and his brother have had a podcast.
Speaker 3Yeah, they've had a podcast for a couple of years. Are you saying he has his own now on top of that?
Speaker 2I think he's hosting a late night TV show on ESPN or something.
Speaker 3I did hear about that though Something like that, you're right. And then his wife has her show yeah, her podcast.
Speaker 2Yeah, talking about the trials and tribulations of being an NFL wife, because it's so hard.
Speaker 3I 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 2You 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 3Yeah, 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.
NFL Playoff Team Predictions and Analysis
Speaker 1Did you see Tyreek Hill quit in the middle of the game? Who Tyreek Hill?
Speaker 3No, 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 1Their 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 3As far as I know, he quit in the middle of the game, damn oh, that'll be on news tomorrow.
Speaker 1Yeah, I did not hear anything about that.
Speaker 3All 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 2Yeah.
Speaker 3And 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 2No, 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 1I'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 3You 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 3So 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 2They did. In that same article they said the Dolphins said they are going to bring back McDaniel and the GM.
Speaker 3Alright, 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 1Full circle Started with the football In on the ball.
Speaker 3Yeah, we'll be able to talk some playoffs next week, minus one game.
Speaker 1Yeah, because that last game we won't be able to talk about?
Speaker 2Yeah, 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 1There you go.
Speaker 2Sim it a hundred times, that'd be kind of cool.
Speaker 3I'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 2Philly does suck, their fans suck more.
Speaker 3That is a win for me. Packers play Philly opening weekend. One of those fuckers gets to go home.
Speaker 1I'm already winning that game.
Speaker 3One of y'all gone. I love it already.
Speaker 1I just want everybody to have fun.
Speaker 3All 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 2I'm okay with that. Oh, that'd be better. Yeah, I'd push for that.
Speaker 3I 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 2They'll bring in Daniel Jones, and Daniel Jones will lead us to the promised land.
Speaker 3I'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 2Or the.
Speaker 3Washington 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 1I like a good revenge story.
Speaker 3Yeah, 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 1Your headphones just got a little wonky there, lou. That's weird, we were listening to those balls.
Speaker 2Yeah, they're still wonky. Yeah, step right up against your balls, man Come on.
