Vaguely Inconsistent
When fandom meets sanity: rides, records, and reality in sports and screens
Send us a text message! Tell us what you think!
The scoreboard said win or loss, but the weekend felt stranger than that. We kick things off with a bleary-eyed Vikings–Steelers morning stream, then dive straight into the NFL blender: Geno’s three-pick faceplant, the Bears winning while moving backward, the Chiefs finally lighting the sky, and the Ravens defense torching fantasy rosters. We compare projections to reality, talk through why one long run doesn’t equal a breakout, and map the line between overreaction and overdue correction.
From there we nerd out on the decisions that actually swing fantasy weeks. When do you stream a defense, and how do you read QB volatility without chasing last week’s points? We get practical on auction-draft bullying, smart IR usage, bye-week depth, and the psychology behind “A+ drafts” that start 0–3. The Giants’ win becomes a case study in rookie development and defensive identity—strong rush, shaky deep—while Pittsburgh’s record looks a lot like smoke. It’s football talk the way we like it: clear-eyed, a little salty, and anchored in what the tape and the numbers both say.
Sports weren’t the only roller coaster. The Aces surrendered 90 and looked off-rhythm, Phoenix shocked a top seed, and college ball handed out a pink slip before the bus cooled down. We swap screens with Marvel Zombies—great voice work, odd timing amid multiverse fatigue—then point you to smarter recaps and deep dives that make bingeing better. And because movie nights still matter, we champion Children of Men as essential sci-fi and sketch a watch plan that gets Peacemaker over the hump and Alien Earth to the finish line.
Come for the chaos, stay for the clarity. If you want weekend sports and screen time to feel less noisy and more useful, you’re in the right feed. Hit play, set your waivers with confidence, add a new show to your queue, and tell us: which player burned you and what are you watching next? Subscribe, share with a friend who tilts on Mondays, and drop a review with your boldest take for next week.

Referee, referee chart.
SPEAKER_02:Check my check my check. Check to make sure the crowd can hear the announcements and shit. Holding factors. Or more like uh that would be another interception by Gino of first down Bears.
SPEAKER_01:I don't know how the Bears won when they went backwards more than they went forwards. Right.
SPEAKER_02:Up until this game, that was like uh an uh Asting Gente run going backwards. No, kudos to him though. He he had a even if he take even if he take away that big ass run, the 64 yard run, he still had about three and a half yards of carry.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, he went way further than he usually does.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Much like Jack's fantasy team with his A plus draft.
SPEAKER_02:Hey, for real.
SPEAKER_00:This was his come out week.
SPEAKER_02:What was this A plus draft preseason? It started off the season 0-3.
SPEAKER_00:Yep. Him and Genti. They both came out today. Yeah, for real.
SPEAKER_02:Although I think I think the Chiefs blew the hell up today. The fantasy team blew up today, though. They're like, holy crap. Well, and mine. Mine went off too. I think mine had like 160 points.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Yeah, I think negative. I think I had negative 164.
SPEAKER_01:No, the fucking Ravens played so bad. My wife has their defense. She got negative three points on that. Damn.
SPEAKER_02:The Ravens did look really bad.
SPEAKER_01:Dak wasn't supposed to have the day he did, so I put Purdy in for her. You put Purdy in coming off an injury?
SPEAKER_02:Although Dak Green Bay's defense was supposed to be good.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:And that did not happen.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. No, Dak got 30 points.
SPEAKER_00:I mean, you still kicked the panel off of her, but uh that the new person in the league. And they had Patrick Mahomes, who got 27 points, George Pickens, who got 30 points, and Ashton Genty who got 30 points. How are you gonna beat that? Like you weren't. That was whose team?
SPEAKER_01:Uh the new girl. Yeah. Mahomes had a record game. Ginty had a record game. Yeah, you weren't gonna win that.
SPEAKER_02:How bad is the projection?
SPEAKER_01:As far as uh your your match, Duke. 150 to 123.
SPEAKER_02:Is it over or is that the projection?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. I mean they Duke is done. Uh she has Denver's defense on Monday. And Tyree Kill. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:30 with those two left? Yeah. Well, she's only up by seven. Oh, oh. Projection is to win by 30. Yeah. Okay, I got you. Holy moly. Right? What else? Any other football news? Oh, yeah, we gotta tell the fans. The three of us got up this morning and uh streamed the Minnesota Steelers game uh this morning because Duke's a Vikings fan. I'm a Steelers fan, and uh Jack's a good sport.
SPEAKER_00:So so Lou Lou and I started watching the game and then all of a sudden it was like and we're like, oh shit, Jack's here too. Hell yeah.
SPEAKER_01:I should have brought the Guinness. That would have made the morning worth it. Yeah. Little morning Guinness.
SPEAKER_02:Had did we not plan like some kind of Irish?
SPEAKER_01:No, the original plan was you guys would have been here. So we would have had Guinness then. Okay, that is true.
SPEAKER_02:That would and the way that game was going, there would have been a lot of alcohol consumed. Yep. Oh my god. Uh and then uh I might have to stream Cleveland's defense next week if Carson Wentz is gonna look like that. And if it's not Carson Wentz, it's JJ McCarthy, that's even worse. So Cleveland's defense is the pickup for the weekend.
SPEAKER_00:Max Brosmer time. Let's go. Is that the is that another rookie or something?
SPEAKER_02:I don't know who that is.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, he's a he was like an uh undrafted rookie that uh Viking. He made the team.
SPEAKER_02:Holy shit.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, he's really like he blew he really showed out in the uh preseason. So okay.
SPEAKER_02:Well, I don't know that you want to make his first start against Miles Garrett.
SPEAKER_00:No, no, no, no, of course not. No, but but yeah, like yeah, so many injuries and and yeah, and uh Pittsburgh did everything that they could to lose the game and still won. And yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Kick the field goal, Tom Lynn. Stop listening to Aaron Rodgers. Right? He don't know what he's doing. Listening to Ed Aaron Rodgers got the whole jet staff fired. So come on now.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, Robert Salah had to tuck his tail between his legs and go back to San Francisco.
SPEAKER_02:You know, Duke, uh just completely out of left field. That color is fantastic on.
SPEAKER_00:Thank you, sir. I appreciate that.
SPEAKER_02:I'm all looked at him like, what is why is that drawing my attention? Like, is the color. I mean, I'm I'm like, all right, all right. That's that's Duke's uh pickup chick shirt, because you will be attention with that shirt.
SPEAKER_00:Yep.
SPEAKER_02:Um what else in football? Oh, the Giants gotta win.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, I didn't hear it. You didn't hear it? All right, you gotta play it again, Jack. Oh, Duke, your shirt is so nice.
SPEAKER_02:Whatever.
SPEAKER_00:Jack, you shut your mouth.
SPEAKER_03:Oh my god.
SPEAKER_00:We're gonna have to rename the broadcast to the birdcage.
SPEAKER_02:We're gonna go hang out with the S General Guest. That's such a good move. I haven't probably listened in a dozen years. I might have to add that to the queue. I'm sure I'm streaming someplace. For sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's got to be. But uh classic. Uh-huh. Giants getting off of the sneeze with the win against the undef previously undefeated LA Chargers. And uh people are like, I'll just obviously because I'm uh as a Giants fan as well as a Steelers fan, I see some of the Facebook feeds on that. A lot of the fans like, oh, Jackson Dart looked great, and all this. I'm like, y'all didn't watch the same game I did. Because it it was it was one of the games that was available on the broadcast. Well I had red zone on one screen, and then that game on another screen, and then the Tampa Philly on the third screen. So I get to watch the Giants game. Jackson Dart did not look all that great. He looked great running the ball. He he he he needs to learn. I can't remember who I can't remember if it was Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson when they first got in the league, but he needs to remember to look down the field when he's scrambling. You don't have to take off and get six yards every time. Look, there were open players down the field a bunch of times that he should have thrown it to. Again, first start, I get it, kid's a rookie, blah, blah, blah. But if that's the comparison, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, I'll fucking take it as a Giants fan if that's where he's trendy. I don't know that he is, I'm just saying if that's how it plays out. But all the people, again, I like I always tell you guys, I'm a football fan first before I'm a team fan. And watching the football side of it, that wasn't good football. They won, Chargers looked like crap. Uh, Giants defense is for real, though. I will give him credit for that. Um, there you got three pass rushers that are just all over it. Sexy Dexy in the middle. Um, they'll probably get beat in the long game. The deep balls will cost me. But but uh they're not as bad as I thought they were. The Giants aren't as bad as I thought they were. Uh, I guess it really was Russell Wilson that's the problem. I mean, I always said it jokingly, but damn. I think that's legit. Maybe that's legit. What about your team, Duke? What do you got thoughts on your team?
SPEAKER_00:I mean, we're besieged by injuries, as we usually are. Um last week everyone was like, oh my god, Carson Wentz is the next coming, and now everyone's like, oh, Carson Wentz is exactly what he's been for his entire career. Like Was it Cincinnati last week?
SPEAKER_02:I can't remember.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, yeah, it was Cincinnati last week.
SPEAKER_02:Again, Jake Browning.
SPEAKER_00:Um, which is why against a against a terrible defense, and everyone's like, oh my god. But but again, I mean it's the NFL, so everything's reactionary. Every single week it's either your house is on fire or your house just got covered. Or you're one of the Super Bowls. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, your house just got covered in pixie dust. You know, like there's it's there nothing's ever measured, nothing's ever like, you know, everything's always gotta be a fucking hot take. Like, and and the NFL is the worst. Like all of the major sports leagues are like that, but the NFL is the worst just because I think because of the way the schedule's structured and stuff. Um, and they gotta fill up so much time, especially when uh, you know, in a couple weeks when an NFL really is the only game in town after the before kind of that window between baseball ending and basketball starting.
SPEAKER_02:Um well because baseball goes into the whole month of October. Basketball starts in a couple weeks, right? Because hockey starts too. Hockey and basketball start in the next month.
SPEAKER_00:But um, but as far as like hot takes go, I feel like the NFL is the worst, like as far as people reporting on it by far. Like so the the the noise just gets to be a little loud when you're just like, okay, it's been one week. Let's fucking you know, Gen Z had a good week. Let's just say he had a good week and we'll go from there, right? But don't be like, oh my god, he's finally figured it out. Rookie of the year when he runs when yeah, when he runs for 26 yards next week, and you're gonna be like, oh, what the fuck happened to him? Like, right? Let's watch that.
SPEAKER_02:That's what I'm waiting for. I want to see him go against a good defense and see what happens. The day he does respectable, he doesn't have to do great. Because not every I mean Derek Henry will get 40 yards in a game. You don't have to be fucking fantastic, but he's gonna he's gonna feast on bad teams because again, that's what he did in college. And I don't know why people didn't see that.
SPEAKER_01:Because they're not as smart as you, Lou.
SPEAKER_02:That's probably true. They certainly don't watch as much as I do. College, pro, I'm all over it. Don't think about all Americans like you are. What's that?
SPEAKER_01:I did get to Notre Dame.
SPEAKER_02:That's true.
SPEAKER_00:I did get to see Notre Dame beat the brakes off of uh Arkansas, which was nice. Yeah. That wasn't even bad enough. Bad enough they fired the coach after the game. Yeah, they did. I saw that we're at BWS.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, yeah, I forgot about that.
SPEAKER_01:They said that boy is gone. And they're like, they also had to pay him$10 million, though.
SPEAKER_02:I mean, that's fine. He'll get a job at some division two school, work his way back up.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, or become like an offensive coordinator or defensive coordinator, whatever it is.5 average. Fucking done. I don't know why these people keep working when they got enough money. Well, they enjoy it. I also enjoy my job. You know what I enjoy more? Sitting at home on my ass getting paid because I'm retired.
SPEAKER_00:So ah, uh, congratulations on 17 years. LinkedIn sent me the little notification thing.
SPEAKER_03:So it's already been 17 years.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. Yeah, it's a December second, yeah. Right?
SPEAKER_02:What else? Uh oh, I forgot you were a Notre Dame fan. We'll have to do this for the US and Notre Dame game next month.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, that's just regular American beer. Course banquet.
SPEAKER_02:All right, Smokey. Uh for those who don't get the reference, it was a Smokey and the Bandit joke. Go look it up.
SPEAKER_00:Educate yourself.
SPEAKER_02:Um man.
SPEAKER_00:That would be uh Jack. Oh, yeah, when is that game? No, go ahead. You can keep talking. I'm gonna look up.
SPEAKER_02:Uh Jack, your turn. What uh you saw the Raiders game?
SPEAKER_01:Gino, he was the best player on the Bears today.
SPEAKER_02:I you know what's funny? I think it was after I woke up from my nap and I was watching the second half of the Packers and the Cowboys, uh, my first thought was thinking about today's games and everything was Raiders might actually be dangerous if they had a quarterback.
SPEAKER_01:Dude. When Geno works real. When Gino works, it works. But three interceptions in one game is fucking embarrassing.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, it's fucking Jameis Winston over there.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. But Max and his boys, they kicked the shit out of the Bears. That's why they kept them to field goals the entire game until the end, after they've been playing the whole fucking game, because Gino never played. Yeah. But the boys were on it.
SPEAKER_00:To be fair, it's also the fucking Bears. Like this is true. Like, yes, good defense, but also playing a fucking terrible offense, right?
SPEAKER_01:The Bears fans all thought they were going to the Super Bowl leaving the stadium, too. But then the champ turn just changed to Green Bay Sucks, so I'm like, okay, I can get behind that too. Because there was like one guy wearing a Green Bay jersey. Which I also don't get. Why are you wearing a jersey for a team that's not even playing?
SPEAKER_02:It's fucking weird. You go, you go, you're supporting your team, just because you just happen to be going to that game. It's like, oh, I'm here as a guest, or I'm here, whatever. Um, here's my team.
SPEAKER_01:And this is what I'm wearing today.
SPEAKER_02:You could, because like I would wear that anyway, right? If that person is like, well, I would wear my green bay jersey if I was sitting at home. But I happen to be going to the game today, so I'm still wearing my green bay jersey, especially if you don't have any interest in either team.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Like I don't think. You're not gonna wear Raiders gear just like out by default, right? Like why not?
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, I mean, I would do the like I think I did that with the color wise. Uh exactly. You went to the game, you wear the Raiders gear. Uh, when I obviously wore the Steelers gear going to the Steelers game. Uh but other than that, the other four times or so that I've gone to a game, I think I've pretty much worn uh uh like a Star Wars shirt that was in more of the black and silver style. Like it was the black and white one that I had, or but I didn't wear one with the colors in it because I'm still I'll root. I mean, coming from Vegas, living there 15, 16 years, uh, I'll root for the Raiders when it's not uh against the uh Giants or Steelers.
SPEAKER_01:Right. Um so Especially when it's against the Broncos.
SPEAKER_02:God, yes. At that point, I am a Raiders fan at that point. I'm not neutral.
SPEAKER_01:Uh man. Who's getting the tattoo? He's getting another tattoo on his arm, Raider Shield. Yep.
SPEAKER_02:Man, just I'll have the Raider pirate pissing on a Bronco or something, you know, that Calvin and Hobbes, an old school Calvin and Hobbs thing. I will anything. Like tomorrow, like I know Cincinnati should get their ass handed to him tomorrow, but man, how great would the shit talking be if the Beagles actually pull that off.
SPEAKER_01:One can hope. One can hope. You know what? It was a weird week in football, anyways. Tie games, block field goals, block block punts. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:To start the Philly Bucks game. Uh then you've got, like I said earlier, uh, you've got Carolina who shuts out Atlanta, gets their ass handed to him by New England, then Atlanta beats the shit out of uh Washington. It was just like, what?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, it was a weird weekend today. Yeah. Very much so.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:So who knows?
SPEAKER_00:Who knows? Uh Lou 18th is when USC is reasoning.
SPEAKER_02:Okay, okay.
SPEAKER_00:It's over. Yep.
SPEAKER_02:I gotta check that uh against my schedule because I think uh uh I have uh one of the symphonies. But I think it's like Thursday Sunday. What time is the game?
SPEAKER_00:Uh the game is uh 7 30. PM or AM? Uh yeah, no, I should be able to do that.
SPEAKER_02:7 30 p.m. on a Saturday. It must be at USC then.
SPEAKER_00:Nope, it's at Notre Dame. But give me uh 7.30. That might be that might be local time. Oh yeah. For them, sure. So So it'd be 503. 6 30 for you and 5 30 for us.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Right? That makes more sense.
SPEAKER_02:I'm like, Notre Dame usually doesn't have a late game like that. First of all, it's usually on NBC at 1 30, unless it's a USC home game. That's why I was like, oh, that must be but it's not. Okay, alright, whatever. October 18th. Long as I'm not at uh Symphony, I'm on.
SPEAKER_00:Getting cultured.
SPEAKER_02:Although it's USC Notre Dame, I might give my ticket away. Oh, girl can take her daughter or son. There you go. I got priority.
SPEAKER_00:Depending on depending on what the orchestra is.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, honestly, that does matter too. I think I have like one on a Thursday night and then one on it's either that same Saturday or it's a week and a half later on the Saturday. I can't remember which. I I I gave her the schedule, but didn't write. Man, it's three weeks whale world. Although I say that, watch the first one be next Saturday.
SPEAKER_00:Right.
SPEAKER_02:Or next Thursday or something. Oh my god. So I'll have to look into that. Um but I don't know. Pittsburgh's a fake three and one. Uh again. I looked at their future schedule. I looked at their schedule going forward. I expect them to be nine and eight by the end of it. Uh depends on what Baltimore does, because Baltimore does not look good. So that could be a thing. Or did Kansas City just finally get their heads out there?
SPEAKER_01:I mean, a record game, as they said, or something, like since 21 or some shit.
SPEAKER_02:Youngest at 250.
SPEAKER_01:But it was also like uh his most completions or his most touchdowns in the game. In like five years or something like that. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Damn, dude, you struggling over there? You really stayed away from it.
SPEAKER_00:Super struggling. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's been a it's been a weekend, man.
SPEAKER_02:So I should be I should be able to finish, uh like in that case, we'll get into some shit. I should be able to finish Alien Earth tomorrow or Tuesday, because uh girl is off the next two days, so that'll just be streaming.
SPEAKER_01:How far into it are you? Three episodes in. So you already saw the eyeball monster? Nothing's fucking creepy, dude.
SPEAKER_02:With the uh sheep.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, he's on the sheep now? Okay, cool.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm seeing.
SPEAKER_01:That's an easy Halloween costume. You go down to Spirit, you get a sheep costume, and just like some gross eye they have, you stick it on that bitch. Boom. I'm Alien Earth for Halloween. Yep, you've got to be a little bit more.
SPEAKER_00:Inflatable uh get get an inflatable sheep costume.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, yeah, just for a costume. That's why you get inflatable sheep for costumes. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:I don't remember the scene where they were fucking the sheep. Oh, it was cut out. It was too it was too much for Hulu.
SPEAKER_02:Edit it for time, edit it for time.
SPEAKER_01:Um I super enjoyed that show. Um not overly happy with the ending. Especially since they haven't officially renewed it, unlike you have to renew it.
SPEAKER_02:How is that not renewed? I mean, I'm only three episodes in them.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. Unless it's expensive.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. I mean, it probably is. I mean, that's the only way to do it. Well the end the ending is just basically a big cliffhanger, like with the expectation that Oh, maybe they're gonna make you watch a movie now. Right. Maybe. Romulus 2. I believe they are making Romulus 2.
SPEAKER_03:Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_00:But not sure how that's gonna go.
SPEAKER_01:But they don't want to announce it till after Predator because even though it's not a crossover, it is. I mean, Home Girl, who is that, Elfanning? She's a Wayland frickin' android, so obviously aliens exist in that movie.
SPEAKER_00:But Wayland or Whalen Utani? Like where where in the world is that? I'm not sure because I think she said something about it, but yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Like, did they already have the merger for Whalen Utani?
SPEAKER_01:Right. Right. I mean, is it a prequel? I have no idea when like time frame, like in the predator world where it takes place.
SPEAKER_02:That could be it. That could be kind of cool if it's if it's the Whalen before the Utani comes in. That'd be alright. Yeah. So so yeah, so I'll I'll get to uh like I said, first I think three, maybe four episodes in. Um and I know there's only eight, I think. So that that should be that should be finished by tomorrow. Um and then I'll probably since you guys said Peacemaker is better at episode three, I'll jump in. There you go. I think that'll be the next one, because we'll do Alien tomorrow, then Tuesday we can try Peacemaker again um and see if that's any better going forward.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, and then Peacemaker is eight episodes two, and they just did episode six this week, so we have two more. We have two more episodes.
SPEAKER_02:We won't have too much uh longer to wait to finish that one up.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:I can dang it. And then I think I think Tuesday we're gonna go to a movie. It wasn't the long walk though. It was something I think that made a oh, the Leo DiCaprio.
SPEAKER_00:One battle after another.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, that one is gonna I think Tuesday's.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, same here. Uh I was gonna go to Long Walk last week, but I did not see it. So if you guys want to.
SPEAKER_01:No, I was the only one that watched it. Oh, I thought Lou I thought Lou you had seen it. No, Lou said he's not gonna rush out to the theater to see it. Ah, okay.
SPEAKER_02:And then Jack said it's worth it for five bucks. So if I've got nothing to do on a Tuesday, I'll go watch it for the five bucks.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, but as someone that's seen the long walk, if you were going on Tuesday, I'd say go see the Leo movie. Right.
SPEAKER_02:Which is the first time. So I'll watch it. I'll watch that one.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:And then and then next week, if nothing's out on the Tuesday, because I don't know what comes out this weekend, but it gets quiet.
SPEAKER_00:October is super quiet.
SPEAKER_02:Horror movies probably should be coming out, like stranger.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I think Black Phone 2's coming out. Black phone two, yeah. Strangers 2. Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:But again, don't not real much interest in those. Then I tried to get an early uh early viewing. Cinemark sent me an email of an early viewing for that Keanu Reeves Angel movie.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I got that too, but it didn't look like it was playing at my theater.
SPEAKER_02:Mine either. Because I when I tried to click it, I was like, there's nothing here. What is what is this about? So I concluded that it was just not showing around me. There's only three Cinemarks here in Colorado. Um and yeah, it didn't seem like it was. I was like, alright, fine. I just not want I'm not watching that because that was gonna be tomorrow's movie. I'm like, oh, I'll miss Monday Night Football for that. That'd be fun. Even though there's two Monday night games. Then in two weeks, there's two more Monday. I don't know, this whole two Monday night games thing. I'm fine if it's a five and eight, or for my time, five and eight kickoff, but the one in two weeks is like a five fifteen, six fifteen kickoff. I'm like, man, tomorrow's the same time.
SPEAKER_00:Tomorrow is a tomorrow is a seven and an eight Eastern time.
SPEAKER_02:Oh man, I thought it was five and five and seven again, or five and eight.
SPEAKER_00:No. They were talking about it during the game this morning.
SPEAKER_02:Alright. Then I guess I'll have the other TV open and just stream them both.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, and one is on ESPN and the other's on ABC. ABC, yeah.
SPEAKER_02:So Okay, so one is so one is the national game, the ABC game, since everybody in America can get ABC. And then the cable game is the ESPN game. So do you know which one's which? I don't. Uh not relevant to anything. I was just curious. Yeah. Uh I don't know. All right, well, yeah, it'll be tomorrow night. Tomorrow night will be put set up both TVs or just the laptop on one and the Broncos on the other, and and then whichever game is the better game halfway through it, switch it, you know, make sure that one's on the big screen.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:I I think I think the Jets Dolphins might be a better game since both are mediocre. And I again, I I as much as I hate to say it, I expect the Broncos to win like 31 to 10.
SPEAKER_01:Regretfully.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, no hate radio for me. I won't be listening to sports radio this week. I don't do that when the Broncos win.
SPEAKER_01:I don't want to hear all the things. I watched four hours of football for it to end in a tie. Bullshit.
SPEAKER_03:Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_02:That's about how it played out. Uh-uh. Oh, and then the Aces got it handed to them. They did not look good. The Aces have one of the best defenses, and they gave up 90 points.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Uh scored 82. They missed a bunch of open shots just like they have the whole series. It's it's been horrible. The they're uh eight-point favorite uh for the closeout game five. So we'll see how it plays out. Fever uh uh uh look look pretty damn good for not having Caitlin. If Caitlin Clark was in that, they might win the whole damn thing.
SPEAKER_01:They might. I agree. And then Phoenix, yeah. Yep.
SPEAKER_02:And then you got Phoenix out there uh knocking off the best team in the league in Minnesota.
SPEAKER_03:Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_02:I granted, I know their best player was hurt uh and didn't play, but but they should have they shouldn't have got beat the other last game either.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, no, they shouldn't. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:To lose three to one to the best team in the league. I mean, by uh the best team losing three to one to uh Phoenix? Mediocre Phoenix team, that's yeah it's one of these things where if the aces can pull it off Tuesday, I like their chances to win the whole thing. Yeah. But they gotta stop playing so shittily because that's the last couple games I've seen them play, you know, one of them they won, but they just they just don't look good. They just not look good on the game.
SPEAKER_00:Um on both ends of the court or yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Uh offense especially. Uh defense is kind of keeping them in. Defense is what kept them in the last game. Offense, like for example, Asia Wilson, a league MVP, makes her first shot, then misses 10 straight. It's like, come on. She ended up still doing okay, ended up 50% the second half of the game. But if they actually I don't know if they were uh reading their reading their news clippings uh leading into the series or whatever, but gotta go out there and do it. Don't go back to that mediocre bullshit 500 team we were in the first half of the season. Go to that team that won 16 straight.
SPEAKER_00:Yep. That's who we need. I realized too this morning I was playing softball, and so I was out in the sun for way too much, way too long. Because I'm like, man, I am hot. And then I'm like, oh, it's because uh I got a little sunburned. Totally. Well, we were halfway through the game, and I went, oh, I should probably put some lotion on, and then it was like, well, I'm here. And at that point, I was already at that point of the day, I was already fucking delirious. I was already like, uh, okay, I'll do it when I get off the field. And I got off the field and then started talking to somebody and then like had to go bat, and then I came back and I was like, okay, I'll put lotion on now. And then I'm like, oh nope, we gotta go out in the field and then like cycle, rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat.
SPEAKER_02:So well, that's good though. That means you got out there so quickly, that means you you you you you you stopped other way around. That means you didn't do it so well.
SPEAKER_00:Wait a minute. Was in the field. I I guess I wasn't giving you a time frame. A lot of time in the field, very short time in the dugout.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I was like, oh, that's not good.
SPEAKER_00:Probably the last sunburn of the year, because it's supposed to rain all this week. So or be at least overcast. Yeah, overcast is cool. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Do you get anybody keeping score for like like the the book score, you know?
SPEAKER_00:Like do you know what I mean? I mean the umpire does, kind of pseudo, but he doesn't we don't they don't do stats or anything like that.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, okay. No, you got no none of your fan, like dude. If I was there, I'd be the fan keeping the scorebook in the in the stands.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, you would. Well, when you move once uh once Lou we rebuild. Yeah, but you rebuild from your war-torn cities. Yep. Then uh when you move here, you can come and uh you can come and and do uh the scorecard for uh shit looks like uh Abu Dhabi and shit. Yep. Lou boy skyscrapers everywhere. Dude, hell yeah. Lou, you go into the game? I'm already here, motherfucker. Like, what are you talking about? I've been here since 10 a.m.
SPEAKER_02:I've got my hat, I got backup pencils, I got my scorebook. Where do y'all?
SPEAKER_00:I got my portable pencil sharpener, like I'm good to go. Old school.
SPEAKER_02:The little old school bricks, son.
SPEAKER_00:Yep, yep, yep. But the shavings.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, shavings everywhere. Leave them on the ground so the birds can make nests.
SPEAKER_00:Oh yeah. With your peanut shells, saving the in saving the environment.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, win in Rome. Win in Rome, dog.
SPEAKER_00:True, true.
SPEAKER_02:Promise not to run over any protesters.
SPEAKER_01:There won't be any more, because it'll be the most safest city in the world. Exactly.
SPEAKER_02:Well, that would be the hope.
SPEAKER_01:After our great president saves them. From themselves. From themselves. Boom.
SPEAKER_02:You know what? You would I I uh you would think something like that would happen in like San Francisco or some other shithole.
SPEAKER_01:Uh so I mean I hear more shit about California than I do or the the people we took to the game today, they're very on the left. Um so Portland actually came up, and I'm like, what, you mean the wars the war zone? They're like, no, the they're like Trump only picks on uh weaker small cities. He's too scared to go to California. I'm like, she might be right. California's the third largest economy, I mean, in the world. Not in America, in the world. I mean if we're doing dick measuring contests, California's a bit bigger than the president. So I think that's why he can't do anything to California.
SPEAKER_02:As much as Gavin Newsom's a tool.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, but I mean he has all the cards and that's five.
SPEAKER_02:And as much as that uh state policies are really fucking that state over uh year after year, I mean the people keep voting for 'em, so and voting for it. They w they they want all them they want all that crap. You know what? That's the power that this country has, right? If that's what you want your state, great. If you don't like it, leave. Problem is fuckers keep coming to Colorado.
SPEAKER_01:As long as it's not coming here.
SPEAKER_02:I saw something that uh Nevada, Colorado.
SPEAKER_01:Buy the new Dodge Hellcat because we follow California's uh emission laws.
SPEAKER_02:Okay.
SPEAKER_01:So I guess that thing like breathes fire or some shit. Oh my god. Do you guys go to like Arizona or something to buy it? And then when you come back here, you have to pay a shit ton of taxes on it.
SPEAKER_02:I was about to ask that. Can can you just buy it elsewhere, bring it over and just register? Like will they even let you? You know what I mean? Is it banned from the state?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, no, I don't think it's banned from the state, but if you do bring it here, it's like a shitload of taxes. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Your registration fees are probably outrageous. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Right. We're gonna make you pay for offsetting the damage to the environment that you're causing.
SPEAKER_01:I mean, it breathes fire.
SPEAKER_00:Fuck it.
SPEAKER_02:I mean, however, if you're a celebrity.
SPEAKER_00:You have you have Carzilla.
SPEAKER_02:That'd be cool, though. I want a car that breathes fire.
SPEAKER_01:You gotta look up YouTube videos of Truxzilla. That thing was badass.
SPEAKER_03:Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_02:That a monster truck.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. And he used to eat cars. He didn't run them over, he ate them.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. So he was more of a he was more of a uh entertaining entertainment thing than part of the actual Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, okay, I got it. Did you guys ever go to a live Monster Trunk rally?
SPEAKER_01:No, I would love to.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, I never go to that.
SPEAKER_00:A few years back, the Blazers, every year they always uh for like season ticket holders, they always have uh like a couple different things, like what do they call it? Like uh the season ticket rewards or whatever. And so you get like a list, they they'll have like a list of like three or four things. So you can get like a like a sweet box for the uh for you and like 15 of your friends for like a winner hawks game. Or you can get um two or you get the suite for like Monster Jam. So one year we got the the suite for Monster Jam and went. And it was it was fun.
SPEAKER_02:It was fun is it still a is it still a thing? Because I haven't heard about Marcus Druck.
SPEAKER_01:No, I think went um last year, yeah or two ago.
SPEAKER_03:All right.
SPEAKER_01:But we couldn't go. We got we had other plans. But I mean, again, you pay for the whole seat.
SPEAKER_03:But you only need the edge.
SPEAKER_00:Man, those are the days. That was it. That was it. I'm done now. My body at this point is just like I I just it's my once I I did my monster.
SPEAKER_02:Y'all waited for you to shut down and just pass out right there halfway through your park.
SPEAKER_00:I shouldn't even tease because that like when homeboy today during the game did the fake hamstring thing, and then later you see him on the sideline, like, oh, oh it's like karma, bitch. So yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Guys on the act like I'm falling asleep.
unknown:Wait.
SPEAKER_02:Next thing you know, it's like, dude, text him to make sure he's really asleep. Right. Oh my god. I was like, again, more injuries, Malik neighbors, fucking Giants number one.
SPEAKER_00:Yep. There goes my uh there goes my fantasy, my fantasy team. Because he was I had it in one league too. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:I saw that, was like, you have got to be kidding me.
SPEAKER_00:Hang on, I'll look up and see who I got, I'll see who I have on the bench to replace him because I'm sure it'll be fucking hilarious. Let's see, my team. My team. My league neighbors. Uh I have Rasheed Rice. Yeah, that's not good for the leaks. Uh I have Juan Dale Robinson. Oh, I guess I have his handcuff.
SPEAKER_02:He picked up his handcuff, so that's a good move.
SPEAKER_00:Uh Josh Palmer from the bu from Buffalo.
SPEAKER_02:No, you can talk why he's on your team.
SPEAKER_00:Because there's, I mean, that's it's a 12-team league, and there's just fucking nothing out there. Like I think I picked him up because I had an open spot, and he was like at the time. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Okay. So who's your quarterback in that week?
SPEAKER_00:Uh my team name is I got the fields and it hurts because I draft because I did an auto draft because I ended up with Jalen Hurts and uh Justin Fields. That's not bad.
SPEAKER_02:You got Jalen Hurts.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. That's why I picked that as my team name. I got the fields and it hurts. I got the feelings and it hurts.
SPEAKER_02:It's a good team name.
SPEAKER_00:Thank you. Uh Chuba Hubbard and Ramonde Stevenson are my running backs. Brian Thomas Jr. is my other wide receiver. He needs to wake up, but I blame that on the quarterback. Uh Devontae Smith is my flex.
SPEAKER_02:Okay, I think better season than AJ Brown is having.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:So you got the stack with Devontae and Hertz. Okay. Alright.
SPEAKER_00:So we'll see.
SPEAKER_02:So, well, you get an extra you get an extra roster spot with neighbors now.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Yeah.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:I I always find the IR spot funny because like the majority of the time you you look at what people are doing and they put people who are like, oh, he tore his ACL and he's out for the season. Well, I'm gonna put him on the IR. No, just fucking drop him. Like he's yeah, I don't get that either.
SPEAKER_02:Like that's what I was telling Jack when it came to his wifey's uh uh roster. I was like, dude, this person's out for the season, you need to drop this person. You've got somebody else out, put them in the IR spot and go pick up two more players that are good because there's plenty of good obviously.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, that's what I did before we left for the game. Well, she was still getting ready. I'm like, oh, let me just grab that phone right quick.
SPEAKER_00:The uh the top uh the top wide receiver that's available right now in the free agent pool. Um is this this this has got to be safe. Let's see, hang on, where is it at? You hit the wide receiver button. Let me refresh. Give me a second here. Well, I did no, I sorted so they tell you like who like they give you like plus minus as far as like their the activity. So if they've been dropped a lot.
SPEAKER_02:Most drops.
SPEAKER_00:I clicked by I clicked that that to see who was the most picked up guy. And the top guy that's available right now is Sterling Shepard for Tampa Bay.
SPEAKER_02:Um, I would not pick him up because Godwin looked okay. Edbuka is fantastic, and Mike Evans will be back in two weeks. So Sterling Shepherd is not somebody I would pick up. Unless you need because buys start next week. So unless you need a space, then sure.
SPEAKER_00:Tori Tory Holton, Seattle wide receiver. He he should be picked up.
SPEAKER_02:Well, he he should be on roster in everybody's league.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, he's uh plus 5.4% right now.
SPEAKER_02:So if if he's available in your league for after for waiver wire, you should grab him.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Because they're gonna start doubling uh Jackson Smith, my uh in and Jigba. And uh that'll leave a lot of uh uh Holton open.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. So yeah, so but I'm I'm also losing in this game, so I'll I'll I should have a high uh waiver wire. Waiver.
SPEAKER_03:Okay.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Am I the lowest of the week? Uh 68. Nope. There's one team that's gonna be uh it's gonna be 51.
SPEAKER_02:It's so crazy. You watch a 12-team league and you got somebody with 165 points and then somebody with 73.
SPEAKER_00:Yep. Yep.
SPEAKER_02:Uh just how it goes.
SPEAKER_00:That was the one where like they the the commissioner of the league didn't turn on like auto draft immediately. So I sat there and I was like, wait, this person it says it's auto draft, but yet it still counted down the full like two and a half minutes. Oh and I'm like, can you can you please change this? And then I like texted him and he was like, Oh, sorry, like I I don't, you know, I'm not like I'm not there right. Like I can't, I'm not around. The commissioner wasn't live either. So I was like, fine, I'm auto drafting too, whatever. And it gave me like again, it gave me an like an A- draft, and I'm just like, I'm owing I'm I'm one in two and soon to be one in three. So yeah, woo, yeah. A plus drafts.
SPEAKER_02:Okay with a little draft team because I'll eliminate players. Like, I don't want as I won't say 100%, but I don't want Eagles, Cowboys, Commanders, Ravens, Browns, and Bengals on my team.
SPEAKER_00:I I do wish, I do wish for you know how you can put you can like cue up players. You can like say, oh, I want like you can go in before and say, I wish you could do like the anti-draft.
SPEAKER_02:You can say do not draft him. Yeah, you can. That's what I'm talking about.
SPEAKER_00:During the wear.
SPEAKER_02:I'm on Yahoo.
SPEAKER_00:Okay. I this one's ESPN, so okay. I don't know if ESPN has the same thing.
SPEAKER_02:But on Yahoo, you can absolutely go in and just do like and and have a do not draft list, and I have that set up. So I mean, I haven't auto drafts in forever, but when I did, that's how I did it. I was like, I I don't like when I do auction draft and we have the live auction draft, and I have a bunch of money left to be a bully, and then there's somebody out there who's like, oh my god, you're getting a great deal for Zay Flowers. Two bucks. I'm like, like, Lou, you got the money. Outbid him. I'm like, he's a Raven. I don't want that Raven on my team. Although, although I didn't think about this until actually right now, I should have did it and then just traded him. I get him for low, get him for a low price and then trade him for a higher value player around somebody else's team. Obviously sell high, but next year. Because I always play the bully role. Because I know I basically know exactly what I want when I auction draft. I always start off uh uh tossing out like who do you uh submit? I'm like, I always submit somebody I don't want on my team and let everybody else spend all their money on them.
SPEAKER_00:Um everybody else can dump their money into them.
SPEAKER_02:Yep, exactly. That way at the end, I can bully uh most of the my the rest of my roster. There's don't be wrong, there's some players that I will overspend. Like this year, I wanted Jonathan Taylor, I want, you know, I want this person, I want Trey McBride, I want and go from there. But other than that, I don't and I I don't value quarterbacks the way other other players do. And that's just a general position that I've had for 20 years. Um it's like, you know, the worst quarterback in the league because they're always coming from behind, they can be the number one quarterback like, oh, I picked up Josh Allen, he got me 27 points. Well, yeah, but Gardner Minshew got me 37. So they were behind the whole time and got a bunch of garbage touchdowns. So I just don't value quarterbacks. I probably should, um, but like, because it'll matter in the playoffs. I mean, I understand there's value there. I don't want a 15-point quarterback when my opponent's getting a 25-point quarterback. So but at least the way I do it now, at least get to the playoffs. Yeah. Whatever. Whatever. Anything anything else new in the sci-fi pop culture world?
SPEAKER_00:Uh I mean, Vision 3 came out with a trailer this week.
SPEAKER_02:Oh at the end. Oh, I forgot. Isn't it Marvel Zombies out?
unknown:Yes.
SPEAKER_00:Yes, I have to do it. Oh, yeah, Marvel Zombies out. I I I did watch it. I enjoyed it a lot, but um uh they drop it all at once or something? Yeah, it was only four episodes. Okay. Alright. So um it kind of kept the same format as like what if, where like every episode started on its own. Well, not even on its own, just started with like a different group of characters who eventually merged into the big group. Um Watcher's still involved? No, no watcher. I mean, if he's involved, we don't but we don't see. I mean, of course he's involved because he's involved everywhere, but we don't see or hear him.
SPEAKER_01:It's just about didn't he become a zombie at the end of the last one though? Or he got fired?
SPEAKER_02:He got fired, but he but not really, because he ended up teaching his boss to be better. And so then they were sitting on the moon or something like that watching Earth or whatever.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Um, I was just more like so so this story is on last season's zombie planet, and it's the whole episode, all four episodes are on this planet, or it's a whole new zombie storyline.
SPEAKER_00:Nope, it it it builds off of the uh what if episode.
SPEAKER_02:Okay. Okay, okay. So all right.
SPEAKER_00:Uh but it's uh the th the the yeah, so they introduce some characters, uh, new characters bring in old characters. Uh the amount of people that they got, I mean, I again it we I think we talk about this every time. The amount of like actual the the actual actors that they get to come in and perform their voice roles is pretty incredible.
SPEAKER_01:Like Elizabeth Olsen was at a LA Comic-Con and she's like, I don't remember. We've we recorded this years ago. I don't remember doing this at all.
SPEAKER_00:But she's also one of the real ones, too. Like she'll she'll call some shit out if it's like yeah, bad or weird or not, you know. So I don't know. I'd rather her say I don't remember than to like make up. Oh, that shit sucked. Yeah. I will say I did watch a video of a guy's review of it, and he said this would have been much better if it would have come out two years ago. And I agree. Like that they're still trying to get past the multiverse saga stuff, and that with what if kind of being tied to that being in that released in that same vein. Right.
SPEAKER_02:Um but they were like several movies are still in the multiverse. So how are they trying to get away from that?
SPEAKER_00:No, they're but they're moving to Doom, like they're pivoting from the the multiverse part will be What's like King and shit. Yeah, it won't be the multiverse saga anymore. It'll be the Doom prophecies or whatever.
SPEAKER_02:But it's still the multiverse saga, just what Doom and Sidekang.
SPEAKER_00:But that right, but as far as that phase of the Marvel Universe being called the multiverse saga, they're close that that will end and they they're gonna move on to that.
SPEAKER_02:So they're not gonna call it that, but it's still gonna be that.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, ish.
SPEAKER_02:So people are happy that it's not the multiverse saga, even though the movies are gonna be multiverse saga.
SPEAKER_01:Well, because it's not tainted with King.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. I don't know.
SPEAKER_00:Or tainted tainted with a wife beater. The the idea would be that it wouldn't be tainted with bad movies and TV shows, much like much much of the multiverse saga was. So uh I and I agree with him. I think if this would have again, it's one of those things like there are characters in the Marvel Zombies show that uh we heard from 10 years ago, right? They were in a movie ten years ago, and they're referenced, and you're going, okay, cool. Like, if you have to like go through your fucking Rolodex and be like, wait, how did this person fit into all this? Like, there are people from like Doctor Strange. That movie fucking came out like 10 years ago. Like, but they're like they're kind of major parts of the Marvel zombie story. So you're like, okay, so you're putting like this giant again, it goes back to the the in invincible argument that I made, right? Like, I fucking hate when they're like season one, three years later, season two, and you're like, fuck, I gotta go back and watch season one now because I've watched so much other stuff. Hell no since then.
SPEAKER_02:You go find Ryan Ary and do the recap.
SPEAKER_00:Shout out Ryan Ary. Um I've also become a because of him, I've also become a fan of heavy spoilers because they do the in-depth older movie.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Uh the the the kind of behind the scenes and that type of thing, which I think is pretty cool.
SPEAKER_02:What about new rock stars?
SPEAKER_00:Um, I haven't watched a bunch of their stuff.
SPEAKER_02:I used to like they they got bad.
SPEAKER_00:Okay. Then I will not uh screen questions for it.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, yeah. Don't don't add it to any list. Every once in a while they'll have some good stuff. Like if you want to watch an Easter egg video or something like that, New Rockstars is fine for that, but that's probably all they're fine for each other.
SPEAKER_00:But yeah, the um yeah, the heavy spoilers guys doing the deep dives into even the older movies. I like the fact they they don't just do like current stuff. Like they did the stuff where they did all like they did like all the James Bond movies, which I thought was kind of cool. Um, they just released one for a couple weeks ago for children and men. Um, so not a whole lot of new information, because I mean, I think for me at least, just because I think a lot of this stuff we're we're super in, you know, we're we're super educated to educate ourselves on these movies and that type of thing. But it's still entertaining to watch and go, oh, okay, like, yeah, that was I remember that right, or hey, I don't remember that being in this order or whatever. So right, right. Um that's cool.
SPEAKER_02:I mean, I've heard him reference heavy spoilers. I guess him and the other owner, I guess they're rhymed their friends or something like that. Yeah. Um, so uh uh I've heard the reference and I've only I saw a few of his videos, but mainly back when anything Star Wars was out. Like I'd watch some heavy spoilers stuff on Andor was out, Act Live was out, skeleton crew's out, but um not really gave him a fair shot at anything else. But I but it that being said, heard nothing bad about heavy spoilers.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think they're they're rivals, right? It's kind of in canon. In Canon is, you know, because they do the same type of yeah uh and in heavy spoilers in the UK, I think. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's just yeah, same type of thing. It's just one guy, but they don't Doug's not there. They don't have like a pet stuff.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, they don't have Doug? Oh, come on. How about do they at least have a guy trapped in a TV, but he doesn't know he is?
SPEAKER_00:So please don't say anything. Exactly. No, it's just as far as I can tell, it's just him. Like it's him and the camera guy, and uh there's he probably has an editor and um maybe somebody to help him with like scripts and stuff like that.
SPEAKER_02:Alright, that's terrible. Um, there was there were some guys that think that were the the black dude that used to be on New Rock Stars went over to uh heavy spoilers.
SPEAKER_00:That was a while ago. Yeah, all the videos that I've seen, it's the same uh British guy. So Okay.
SPEAKER_02:But that's not terrible. I also like when Screen Crush does the we're gonna have two guests on to give their opinion of a show or a movie that they just saw.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Because they usually don't agree, and I like and I like that. I was like, oh, okay, what did you not like? Oh, what do you like? Oh, why do you even think I'm not sure?
SPEAKER_01:Wait, you like arguing and disagreeing with people? No, I don't. What are you trying to say? Are you trying to say I do?
SPEAKER_00:I completely disagree with that. Wait, wait, hang on.
SPEAKER_02:Man, there was a political question I had earlier, but it wasn't really political, it just happened to be political. Remember what it was.
SPEAKER_00:It just happened to be.
SPEAKER_02:So you're you're all welcome. No, it was just something like, hey, this thing happened because of politics. Forget that side of it. What do you think about this? And I it was like, you know what? Not that big of a deal. So I kind of moved off of it, but that was like 15 minutes ago. Whatever it was was in my head.
SPEAKER_00:It wasn't important. So uh so the uh reception I went to last night, the wedding reception, like the first um the first toast, and we couldn't hear most of what they said because we were like at the back end of the patio and there was no speakers near us. Right. And every time somebody would start talking, the streetcar would come by. Like you hear, hey, and I'm so and so, and I'm the dad, and then all of a sudden you hear ding ding. And I'm like, uh well, okay. At one uh, we just all got to a point where people would start laughing, so then it would be like, Oh, it must be something funny. Ha ha ha ha. And then and then every time they they they ended it, Oh, okay, we can go you need to clap now. Like, but he like started it and he was like, Hey, I'm so-and-so, and I'm you know the bride's dad. And uh, I don't want to make this political, but and then like the train came by and we were like, Wait, what the fuck just happened? I want to know what you said. But I think it was like, I'm glad that we're all here or whatever. And I'm like, wait, is that a reference to like that are are you is that a reference to like the building not being on fire because of like drone strikes or some shit?
SPEAKER_02:Like what do you what do you I'm guessing that they had some people who weren't on the same side of the audience, and it was nice that they could get together. And it was like, well, yeah, that's because the right can handle that. It's the left that can't.
SPEAKER_00:Um, I don't know. I don't know.
SPEAKER_02:Well, again, I let me correct that. Let me correct that. My experience has been, because I don't know what it's really like in a leftist city.
SPEAKER_00:Wait, is my is my vice on? It's my vice on.
SPEAKER_02:Uh for those that don't get the joke, uh, I live in Boulder, which is a completely leftist city. So I looked up the stats and it was like 93% Democrat.
SPEAKER_00:Well, again, Democrat doesn't mean leftist.
SPEAKER_02:Also true. I don't know what the actual leftist uh percentage is. Honestly, don't care all that much. Uh you care, Lou. But my No, no, no, no. No, I don't I don't like the number. Look, I only care about what my experience is, and my experience in person, in person, has not been that crazy. Like the crazy left or the rightist. I don't you don't get too many. Well, in bold, you're not gonna get any rightist. But uh but overall though, my experience, I don't know if it's word either. Uh but but my experience has been not really that big of a deal. You know, you you get some of the crazies here and there, but most of those are the college crazies. That whole crap that people talk about, you're being indoctrinated. It's like okay, that's probably true. Uh the most of the adults aren't that bad.
SPEAKER_01:It's really it's really just the young ones that are just That's because a person isn't stupid, but people are. One-on-one, everybody's usually fine. But when you get them in a group, everybody's a fucking moron.
SPEAKER_02:That is so true though. You know, but yeah, luck luckily again, as much as as much bullshit as I like to throw out there, my personal experience has not been all that horrible.
SPEAKER_01:Um out here in a living in Boulder. Well, that's because you're a colored fellow, they don't want to offend you. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:That honestly, I wonder how true that is. Like, that's I mean, like, I I seriously do. I wonder if that's like a thing. It's like, uh, you know what? Uh most of most of them assume I'm quote unquote on their side anyway. Any event I go to in Boulder where there is a Democrat tent and a Republican tent, the Republican tent ignores me, and the Democrat tent is like, hey, one of us. So uh I ignore both of them.
SPEAKER_01:Even though you're wearing a red shirt. Dude, for real. Hello?

SPEAKER_01:Well, you only have like three years to do it. So I was gonna say, yeah, if I don't have what you're doing. It's not gonna be cool to wear it afterwards. Once he's done, you can't be wearing MAGA hats anymore.
SPEAKER_02:It depends on what you're going for. You know, if you want to step up your sex life, make anal great again, you know.

SPEAKER_00:It is, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:I remember I watched that.
SPEAKER_00:I'm like, yeah, no, that's pretty good. It's shot, it's shot really, really well.
SPEAKER_02:Like I'm writing that shit down right now.
SPEAKER_01:Uh that's right. Okay, yeah, I just read the synopsis again. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nobody can have babies and then she's pregnant, and everybody's like, what? Well, then it becomes like a political thing, right?
SPEAKER_00:Where people are like, it's they they they they want the baby for their own means as opposed to like just being like, hey, like there's somebody who can get pregnant again. Like, let's figure out what that is, and so we can rip replicate it, you know. That would make the most sense of what they should be doing. Right.
SPEAKER_02:But that okay, that that sounds solid. This sounds really solid.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. Well, it's an Alfonso Carrion movie, so yeah.
SPEAKER_00:He makes some good flicks. Yeah. He did uh Gravity, right? Yep. Oh, Julianne Moore is also in it as well.
SPEAKER_02:Anybody naked?
SPEAKER_01:It said mild nudity, let me see. Hold on.
SPEAKER_02:That means butt cheeks.
SPEAKER_01:A statue of David is shown. Man makes a quick joke about wanting to get laid. Oh, a woman takes off her shirt to show she is pregnant, which also shows breasts. He's on uh Mr. Skin right now looking at no IMDB actually. Ah, okay, good.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, IMDB has the whole like language and nudity. They have all that ratings.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. A woman is shown delivering a baby. There is a brief shot that shows the baby emerging from the mother.
SPEAKER_02:And that's how they word that? Okay, that's polite of them.
SPEAKER_01:Emerging.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, exactly. It's like we don't we got we got head poking through a vag. No, we have a big thing.
SPEAKER_00:The violence and gore is severe. Yeah. Yep, there's a lot of blood and guts.
SPEAKER_02:Okay. Alright. This sound it's it's your own IMGB. Is it streaming?
SPEAKER_01:Uh Prime Video, but it looks like you might have to rent or buy it. Well, it says streaming, and then it also has prime video rent and buy. So check prime. Yeah, check prime.
SPEAKER_02:That reminds me, I got an email from Prime. I think, Jack, I've been on your like prime packaging forever. I got an email that says that's going away October 2nd.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Like, what? I gotta page for my own fucking postage. I mean, I don't buy a lot from Amazon anyway. I buy like five things a year.
SPEAKER_00:So in this case, then you just have Jack buy it and ship it to you, and then you just venture.
SPEAKER_02:Hey Jack, do me a favor, order this and deliver it here.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Right. Uh I'm on the Alfonso Curion. I I'm on the Alfonso Curion IMDP page and it says, Trivia. When he accepted the Golden Globe Award for best director in 2014 for Gravity, Curion apologized for his poor English, especially to his star Standra Bullock, for scaring her on location during production when he said what sounded like I'm going to give you her piece, when he actually said in his thick Spanish accent, I'm going to give you an earpiece.
SPEAKER_01:Although a strike against him, he did direct Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, which was not the best movie from the best books.
SPEAKER_02:So that's not his fault though. But yeah, if it's unless you want a three and a half hour movie.
SPEAKER_01:This is true. This is true.
SPEAKER_02:Because I thought the same thing. I'm like, I think that's one of the worst ones of the adaptations because there was so much, they only covered the high points and skipped a lot of minutiae that was really good and really relevant. Hopefully the the HBO show will be able to do it more justice. Uh it's it's and go from there. But I I think almost all of us had the same complaint. It was like, oh my god, this book was so good. Why is the movie garbage? Quote unquote garbage. It was like because they had to cut a bunch of stuff or you're gonna have a three and a half, four-hour movie.
SPEAKER_00:And they also did Roma, which I remember a couple of few years back. Roma, R-O-M-A. Like the tomatoes.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I don't think I know. I remember when that came out that that got a lot of a lot of hate as far as like Oscar Buzz or just critical talk.
SPEAKER_02:Critical acclaim.
SPEAKER_00:It uh it was one of those ones that got released on um uh Netflix instead of going out so to the world.
unknown:Okay.
SPEAKER_00:Uh good. Uh was that did we record before that? Yeah, we recorded that morning, right? That was what we did last week. Yeah. Um No, it was good. They I mean, it was a brass band that did uh like rock.
SPEAKER_02:Rock covers, right?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. So brass against was their name.
SPEAKER_02:Because you sent us the video and I was like, oh, that girl's voice is horrible. For that particular song, anyway.
SPEAKER_00:There's also a there's also a guy that performs, so there's two people, but it's like it's like a band that I think has like a ton of people who come and go, just kind of like when they have time. So like so ours had like a saxophone player who was really, really good. Um And muscular? No. But yeah, I think I didn't hang on, hang on. I didn't say he was the best. I just said he was really good.
SPEAKER_02:Wait, so so the video you sent were like 20 people? It wasn't 20 people in this.
SPEAKER_00:It was only it was a half a dozen. So I think depending on the event and again who's available. Because again, I didn't even know this guy sang on in the band until he came out on the stage and started singing. And I was like, oh, and then I went and looked back and I dug through more of their videos, and I found videos with him. And I was like, oh, okay, cool. So um yeah. I mean, they performed for like almost two hours. It was pretty Yeah. So they there was like a couple of times where like they weren't even re they were just doing like um brass music. Like they just instrumental, the band members would start playing, and the the it wasn't based around a song, it was based around they were like, We're gonna do an original thing now, and then the singers walked off the stage, and then they did a thing where it was like an original composition by the uh I like the I think the the guy who put the band together to begin with.
SPEAKER_02:And uh also known as go get a drink and pee break.
SPEAKER_00:Yep. I mean those are really I mean those are to be honest with you, those were kind of my favorite parts, just because like I mean I like a good cover, but I also like some original stuff too. And it's again, it wasn't a song, it was just them playing, it was them playing their instruments, which I was like, okay, yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Which was the worst part of a Dave Matthews concert I went to, so ever since then I'm I'm tainted with any kind of jam sessions. That's why I'm all like, God, no, that's my opportunity.
SPEAKER_00:Well, see, you gave me the background now, so now I know instead of you just being a jam session hater that you just hate it because of your first exposure to jam sessions. It was not good at all.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. Don't be wrong, when J when Dave Matthews' band was up there singing and all that, that was great. I love that part of the concert. And then you got 12 to 28 minutes of just playing.
SPEAKER_00:It was like You also should have gone pee-loo. Yeah. Dave Matthews is peeing. You might have shared or uh you might have shared a trough with uh with Dave Matthews. Yeah, that could have happened. Crash into me. Dave Matthews? You're right. Splash into me is what it was like. It was a trough.
SPEAKER_02:Oh man. Gotta love the trough here in old.
SPEAKER_00:But no, the concert was good. But then like the next day I woke up and my throat was bugging the shit out of me. I originally thought it was just from the concert, from like yelling and stuff at the concert, and then got like super sick, like didn't go to the long walk because I just felt like ass. Like my sinuses were screwed up. Uh thankfully I didn't get like a full-on flu and it wasn't COVID. Um, so it's just a really bad cold. But finally, I and I had it until like Thursday night, Friday morning. Finally, on Friday, I was starting to feel better. Like, but I just felt like super not that I was super achy or whatever, I just had zero energy, and my sinuses and uh throat were really bugging me. So mainlined green tea and emergency for the week. Hell yeah. And then what do I do that what do I do this weekend? Get three hours of sleep for like the entire weekend. And then go stand out in the sun. Yeah, then go stand out in the sun to probably you know give myself a slight case of sunstroke and drink way too much over the course of the weekend. Wondering how I'm still awake. Like I'm talking to people, like I text to people, and they're like, um how long have you been up? I'm like, I got like a 30-minute nap this afternoon, and they're like, How are you awake? I'm like, I don't know.
SPEAKER_02:Jack's feeling it too. I saw him yawning over there a few seconds ago.
SPEAKER_00:Yep, yep. I saw his eyes darting a little bit ago. He was doing the like.
SPEAKER_01:Well, it's because my brother's in the other room too, so I'll like hear stuff. I'm like, Am I about to go raped?

SPEAKER_02:What the hell is that? Don't ask.
SPEAKER_00:Don't just don't ask. But the weird thing is the clock is everywhere. It's like in every single room. You can't get away from reminders.
SPEAKER_01:Yep. Every morning when you wake up with Alexa, she's like, and by the way, you now have seven years, four months.

SPEAKER_02:But it's all motorcycles or horses, bicycles, material.
SPEAKER_01:No, it's about Tulsa. He's a Tulsa truthologist or some shit, is what he calls himself. He just writes about the history of Tulsa.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, writing, like pen and paper writing.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Writer. Um it's not horrible, but I don't know if I 100% like it yet.
SPEAKER_02:Well, you like it enough to keep giving it a chance to decide whether or not you like it, so there's that.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, and there's only eight episodes, so I mean I guess I can finish it out.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, well, that's not bad.
SPEAKER_01:That makes it easy. And it has Keith David in it, and who doesn't love Keith David?
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:That's fair.
SPEAKER_02:Did I tell you, do you guys remember? I don't know if I told you that I met him at San Diego Comic Con.
SPEAKER_01:Did you?
SPEAKER_02:In the bathroom? You know what? It may as well have been. It was one of those bathrooms that only had like two or three urinals in it and like one or two cells. Yeah, yeah, like your upstairs, you know, like by by rooms 24 and 25. It was one of those. Like we're remember old school? We used to get in in the morning way up there with the plebes. Uh those bathrooms up by there. Uh it was in the middle of the day. This has got to be 15 years ago. Um, it was rather time it was around a time you won that Mass Effect 2 video game by going to a panel. So I just happened to be going killing time, go to the bathroom, and then uh I walk in and there's a guy kind of like watching some other guy. I'm like, that's weird. I didn't realize it was his bodyguard. I mean I was like, holy shit, that's Keith David. And and then, you know, we're both done, wash your hands, everything. And then it was like, hey, just want to say, you know, nice to meet you, love your work, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And he was, you know, usual, humble.
SPEAKER_00:You should have done it in the fucking urinal. Sir, good to meet you. No, no.
SPEAKER_02:What I should have done was the whole just you turn and just look right in the eye and you say it while you're while you're peeing. That's what that's how you do it. Let's see, how uncomfortable can I make you? It's like I I do like doing that in the elevator. Uh just just walk in and you know the whole walk in, don't turn around thing. Just face them. Uh, that's always fun. People freak out. Like when they do it to me, I kind of just smile at them, just you know, that whole creepy smile. Like, you can do it to me all you want, but I'm gonna play the game too. I'm already watching the movie Smile, that's what I'm gonna look like.

SPEAKER_01:I still gotta get up in the morning anyways to Oh Keith David was also the arbiter in Halo. Yep. Oh, I didn't know that. I thought he was just the video game, not the not the show. He should have been the one in the show. I don't think Arbiter spoke American in the show, though.
SPEAKER_00:No, it was just a voice, it was uh clicks and words.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. So they probably got like some African guy to do that. That makes sense. Natural language.
SPEAKER_02:He's like, the the writers are making shit up. Hey, say this. And the guy looked at him was like, why are you insulting my mother?
SPEAKER_01:Do you remember those old shorts we used to watch, D uh Chief and Arbiter?
SPEAKER_00:He made those old shorts, Arby and the Chief.
SPEAKER_01:He would make these like stop motion shorts, Lou, with like Arbiter and Master Chief figures, and Chief was like a fucking bonehead, and Arbor was like, bruh. He's like the straight guy. It was hilarious.
SPEAKER_00:I'll put it in the chat. I just got the first episode. But yeah, it is. It was posted 14 years ago.

SPEAKER_02:That's what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_00:By next week, too, so and I'll be caught up with Peacemaker by then. So just so you know, Lou, the first five episodes were given for review, but the last three weren't. So nobody knows what happens, and episode six just dropped this week.
SPEAKER_02:So is that all the people talking about some kind of cameo that happened?
SPEAKER_00:Yes, that's part of it, yeah. But but what I'm saying is the first five episodes, they were like, it's fine. Everybody, you know, review, we'll release it early. But the last three, nobody has seen up until their release. But nobody knows what actually. If you can get through the five and get to six, then we'll all be synced up and then we'll do seven and eight together, because I think seven and eight are gonna be fucking bad shit crazy. Yep. And I'm and I have thoughts about that, and we're gonna get to that when we uh when we get there. When we get to it.
