Home Renovations and Reality Show Recap
Speaker 1Hello and welcome to Anything Coast to Coast . I'm Brett and this is AJ .
Speaker 2We're two college friends that live on opposite sides of the country and decided to start a podcast , so we'll be chatting about our interests and hobbies , ranging from movies and TV shows to music , sports and beyond .
Speaker 1Yeah , this week a little bit of the same to talk about . We're gonna finally close out on . The challenge took us well , I guess we really didn't finish that far behind everyone else , but uh , we finally finished that . Um , whatever new shows we're watching out there , we're gonna get some super bowl , uh fallout and uh talk about the mcu , because we got some big mcu stuff , especially with super bowl trailers that just came out . But uh , we'll just start by going uh , what's going on with you ? So I know the house stuff is in full swing . What was the project done today ?
Speaker 2uh , I feel like it's a never-ending list of things . Um , so our bathroom has been fully sheetrocked and done like that . We have somebody coming in or is already in the house now working on tiling and stuff like that . So we're hoping maybe by next week he'll be done , if not kind of like the following week he'll be done with the bathroom so that we can then paint and do the you know , the little bits of painting that we have to do in there , and then kind of getting the vanity assembled and like the toilet and all that stuff . So we're close , close to our master bathroom . Um , and then it's just like while he's in there , me and my uh stepfather , my abby's uh stepfather and uh , my dad's been helping us out too doing our master bedroom , kind of getting that fixed up a little bit with sheetrock and painting and all that stuff . And then we actually had a .
Speaker 2We made our hallway a little bit wider going into our bedroom . Was it too narrow ? Was that the hallway ? Yeah , so like when you first walked in Fire egress issues , yeah . So like when you first walked in , you like immediately turned right and there was like a little baby hallway kind of thing leading to our master bedroom and it was probably about 20 inches wide or so , so like pretty tight yeah , and they had like a little closet . That wasn't really a closet , so we were just like we're just going to blow that out and we made it a good 30 inches give or take . Now that we have of like walking rooms like that , which is like a normal size hallway , so it's good . Just every day is just , you know , something new Doing something .
Speaker 1Nothing's broken yet right , so we're only fixing things right now . You've got to wait for the things to start breaking too . That'll be a fun phase . No , no , that won't be .
Speaker 2I know come springtime we have to deal with the pool , which the pool's actually in good shape . We just have to like have somebody like pull up our liner a little bit . But that's where I'm kind of scared , is like something happens with a pool and like that stuff . I know it's gonna be more of a nightmare .
Speaker 1So most likely . Well , yeah , godspeed and those endeavors only thing that's really going on over here . Uh , finally went into the office for the new job and uh , yeah , brought myself a little co-worker . Cooper came with , got himself a little office badge .
Speaker 2Let's see you got to show this off for the people .
Speaker 1Oh yeah , it's corporate , cooper . He's so corporate and he's even labeled as a full-time employee .
Speaker 2He doesn't get paid or anything , though you know what you should do . You should just readjust the badge and just put a tie on him and put him in front of a white wall and take a picture that way . So it's like you know , he's like the more corporate .
Speaker 1I don't know . He looks pretty distinguished in that . I mean he does , he does , but head up Got his chest all puffed up . He's looking good On the couch . I mean , yeah , it's interesting having him in the office , though he's so he's definitely used to having his like beds all the time , yeah , and his chairs . He's not allowed on the office furniture so that kind of stinks .
Speaker 1But he's got to stay by me so I just put down a blanket because we don't do uh like it's not my desk , it's hot desks . So yeah , for people who don't know what hot desk is , it's uh , you don't own a desk at the office . Everyone has an area . So I have an area that I work with my team , but I can just take any desk when I get there .
Speaker 2Meaning .
Speaker 1I can't really leave stuff there , like we have cubbies but definitely not big enough for a dog bed for a 70 pound dog . So what I was thinking was I'll just load up , I'll leave a couple blankets at the office and those will be like Cooper's blankets , and then I'll just put them out all the time . So thinking about doing that , we'll see . Definitely met more people in the office with him there .
Speaker 2it definitely helped well yeah , because it's one of those where it's uh , it's a conversation starter , where people are like oh , can I pet your dog ? Well , yeah , who is this , yeah , and then , and then you kind of have to talk to him , though he's like can I , can I ?
Speaker 1just not , that'd be me I just want to go back to my desk and go home , uh but danger danger .
Speaker 1It's good . I , I like it . I mean it's nice . We got , you know , tech company , so we got the whole office kitchen . I can get whatever food I want . It's kind of nice . They pay for door dash if they don't do catering in the office , just nice . So getting some perks there it's nice . But on to the important things . We finally finished the challenge . We got to see who the end and in the end crowned victorious . We had Jordan for the guys , jenny and Rachel for the girls . Overall , not really a surprise , jordan , consistently up there . Jenny was a little bit of a surprise only because she has asthma . Not saying that asthma eliminates you , but there were multiple times throughout the season where it was shown that she could not keep the asthma in check . So I was more wondering whether or not that was going to come out during the final . But she figured it out . I didn't see any asthma problems when she was in the final and , uh , she kind of cruised .
Speaker 1Rachel didn't do as well in the final as I thought she was gonna do , but that's when it came down to the karma points which we predicted , we got a little bit right . We knew that Bananas and Michelle were going to get fucked . Yes , by karma .
Speaker 2And they did .
Speaker 1Both of them Did they both finish ?
Speaker 2fourth no , bananas finished . No , they both finished .
Speaker 1Third oh , that's right , Kylan was fourth for the guys .
Speaker 2Yeah . Yeah , I was surprised by Jenny too with the whole asthma thing , because it was so obvious that in previous challenges she was struggling . And then you're like there's just no way she's going to be able to , like you said , keep it in check and do two full days of that and you know they have some time in between each checkpoint or whatever . Yes , but I still felt like she was going to be screwed . So definitely kudos to her , you know , for like she finished outright first place . You know out of the girls , like you said place . You know out of the girls like you said . You know rachel was kind of disappointing , just like tori was , and that she didn't really , she wasn't really that strong in the final and then she just got lucky . That you know she was friends with everybody , kind of thing so how did we feel about the whole ?
Speaker 1not the karma points , I actually like the karma points it didn't really change that much . I mean , yes , it did take rachel from third to tide for first , but that was mainly because , as we discussed , like jenny didn't have anyone who was like super high on her , michelle had a lot of people who didn't like her .
Speaker 1Rachel didn't make any enemies like at all , so she was either like a three or higher on like everyone's karma points really made the
Reality Show Challenge and Winner Discussion
Speaker 1difference . But more in general , what do we think of all the swimming ? Because there was a lot of it swimming .
Speaker 2Actually I didn't mind it . I think it would have been good to kind of switch it up , like on the second day , so like the first day , if you did like how they had pretty much all swimming , if the second day they just started them on the beach and then that second day was all running . I think that would have been a little bit better and a little bit more fair , in the sense that , like you know , somebody doesn't you know somebody's weaker at swimming , aka kylan , right , he has a chance on the second day to kind of make up ground and like come in first place on a couple of the events , possibly right ? Um , I think that's my only thing , but I think it's a good change of pace type of thing , because most of these are always all running or what have you right ?
Speaker 1so yeah , I agree with it from that sense . It was a good change of pace , like we can only climb a mountain so many times and we've done it like 20 times . I probably would have liked it , as you're saying , to be split up a little more . I don't mind having swimming involved . Having the entire final be swimming was a choice . Only because this , if they didn't really do any swimming challenges this season until like the last , like two or three episodes , yeah I'm I'm fine with swimming , but just you got to make the whole season be like swimming intensive then yeah , yeah , like like have more than one challenge .
Speaker 1Yeah , like you know , in the season , yeah , the mini final and like all these other things should be a representation of what the final is going to be , and I don't think anyone had any idea that it was going to be that much swimming until they showed up . So more , just like , as you're saying , do some running stuff , like mix that stuff in , do like multiple legs , like maybe even do like a mountain biking part , like all fitness , like why is ?
Speaker 1it just , it was just swimming , and I know a lot of people will be like , oh , he's only got one hand , but Jordan is a triathlete . Yeah , like , the swimming part is obviously the hardest part about being a triathlete , because you've got to swim like multiple miles . It's not easy and he's the only one on there , who could do that , and they asked him to swim multiple miles and he was the only one who was ready to go there he dominated everything .
Speaker 2I think he pretty much always dominates those types of challenges , right , I was surprised by Michelle , though Michelle actually did pretty decent on all of the checkpoints , minus one or two right where she finished either third or fourth , um , you know . So I was surprised by by that and and I I did kind of hate that like rachel's like well , I'm a champion , you just got lucky .
Speaker 1That not lucky , but like the karma thing was basically a popularity contest in a way yeah , I I kind of wish that the karma points would have been added as , like , an advantage on a leg versus just going to the final standings . Yeah , it didn't really make a huge difference . Like rachel did deserve to be a winner , so it didn't .
Speaker 2It didn't really change much and on the guy's side , jordan , was so far ahead .
Speaker 1Karma points didn't matter for the guys . Yeah , but all right . So you say yes or no . Why ? I mean she carried her entire era .
Speaker 2For the majority of the season , she was the only one there , but in the final she didn't show up . I mean , look at like Tori . Tori won , I think , the most amount of challenges , right , the daily challenges , yeah , and she got fourth . I think she's just as deserving as , I mean , jenny just had a great final but she didn't do anything really Well .
Speaker 1I guess that transitions perfectly into the next question because they brought this up during the finale . It's the goat debate . So when you're talking about who's the greatest of all time on these the guys , it's the obvious probably three choices . I mean Wes wants to be included , but what he's only won like three times . He needs to be closer to five or six to be up
Challenge Goat Debate
Speaker 1there . It's Johnny Bananas , jordan and CT . Yeah , and each one are good at different things . Ct definitely the king of , like the OG challenge , like back when it was pole wrestling hall brawl bashing heads . Ct dominated that era , cause that's what he does . He's a big dude , he's really athletic , so he dominated that era . But I've never considered CT great at politics . His politics is saying I will go against you in the I'll go down in the sand against you , don't do it , I'll beat you , like that's his politics . He just he plays scare tactics . He's the USA . He's sitting there with all the nukes in the background just saying I dare you , I'm ready .
Speaker 2Not a bad tactic , it's not a bad tactic .
Speaker 1It worked for him , but I'm not going to say he's a mastermind . He A mastermind . Yeah , he had one strategy . The strategy was be better than everyone else , and everyone will be afraid of you .
Speaker 2And it worked . But that's kind of like Jordan's in a way . Jordan doesn't do a lot of politicking , he just does the . I'm the best athlete here and I'm going to beat you , no matter what kind of thing , and you don't want to face me in elimination , so don't make me go down there .
Speaker 1Yeah , I completely agree , agree . So then we get to bananas , who is not a bad competitor . He is on one of the more athletic sides of things , but he does not dominate challenges in the way that jordan and ct do . But he is significantly better at the politics side and , if you don't know it , he just he knows how to push people's buttons . He gets people mad at each other who don't need to be mad at each other . He gets targets off his back when he should definitely be thrown down there . So they did the goat debate and they had everyone vote . They voted for jordan and they voted jordan over ct . Yeah , I think it's got to be categories in two different ways . It's like asking who's better kobe versus shack . Jordan and bananas do not play this game .
Speaker 2The same way . Those are the two . You go for kobe or shack . I would want michael or lebron ?
Speaker 1no , because they play the same position and they play a similar style of basketball . Kobe and shack are completely different . If you're looking at who is better between kobe and you have a giant physical presence who just dominates the low post , versus Kobe , who is an all-around athletic forward , who can play defense and offense , shoot the three ball , drive to the hoop , have handles , hit fadeaways Completely different game than Kobe , like you can't , or than Shaq . You can't say one , shack you can't . You can't say one is better than the other , because they don't do any of the same things on the on the court . So it's like the same with jordan and the bananas , like , yes , there's a debate between who's better , but they play the game completely different I thought I thought you were comparing ct and jordan .
Speaker 1No , no , we both agreed that they were basically the same person no , no , we're locked in on jordan and bananas because they're good at different things in different ways yeah , I mean I it's , yeah .
Speaker 2Like you said , it's got to be categories , right . If it's , if it's based purely off of like athleticism and like being dominant that way , then it's easily jordan , yeah . But if it's , if it's playing the game , the social game , right , then it's , it's easily bananas and he has more wins backing , backing that up that's true and I think , one of the best wins for bananasanas .
Speaker 1That proves this . Forget what season it was . I could probably look it up , but I'm not going to right now . They basically did a season of Survivor on the show . They put everyone on a deserted island instead of sticking to the house . Bananas won that season , all politics , basically the whole time . He won that season . My point is there's politics . You got to give it to bananas , so I .
Speaker 1It's hard to say who's better yeah if I had to pick the goat of the challenge , I think I'm probably going to pick bananas that's fair , I think .
Speaker 2I think . Like I said , I think I think it it's .
Speaker 1You gotta look out it's well , it's more just because he embodies like the whole aspect of the game . It's like , yes , we're having a kobe , uh shack debate , but if you really look at bananas , he he might be a lebron or jordan , in the sense that he does everything . He's not necessarily the best at everything he does , but he does everything .
Speaker 2Yeah , he's the best all around .
Speaker 1It's like lebron . Lebron is the best all-around player we've ever seen in basketball . I'm not saying he's the best guard . He's not the best forward , he's not the best all around . It's like LeBron . Lebron is the best all around player we've ever seen in basketball . I'm not saying he's the best guard , he's not the best forward , he's not the best center , but he's the best all around player . And that's what bananas is . He's not . He wins a lot of challenges . He can win eliminations . He did win a couple this season .
Speaker 1That dumb car one was one of them that shouldn't have counted . Oh yeah , that was bad . Uh , but a lot of that one , yeah , but jordan . Jordan gets in trouble like his mouth gets him in a lot of trouble . Ct has been kicked off the show before for getting into a fight . I just those are mistakes that you don't see johnny make . Johnny instigates those fights and stands in the background and then laughs as they get sent home yeah , yeah , that's fair .
Speaker 2So we know where you fall . On the LeBron Jordan debate LeBron Jordan debate Um no , I think I'd agree . I think Bananas probably is the goat . In that sense , I look at it more as the wins , and he's got more challenge wins he's also done more seasons , yeah , but I mean , that's kind of like one of those things where he probably has a better record overall .
Speaker 1You could also say the same thing about winning percentage , he probably has the better record overall .
Speaker 2I mean , you could also say anything about Win percentage .
Speaker 1Yeah , you could say the same thing in like most major sports , like Brady has the most wins from a quarterback , most passing yards . All this he also played until he was like 42 .
Speaker 2Yeah , I still think he is the best because of he's got what ? Eight or eight or seven , seven or eight . Yeah , jordan has four , five , now it's five , yeah . So I think I still think he's better , um , than jordan , not , not athleticism wise or anything like that but , like it got shown , jordan can swim .
Speaker 1Bananas can't really swim that much . He's got him there . Jordan probably beats him in running , but bananas is no slouch . He's not like out of shape , I don't know . I I'd give it to bananas . He's carried the show , he's that's the face of it yeah , that's just where I would go , because he means more of the show and he does everything , whereas jordan , for most part of this season , his politics was keep your mouth shut . J Jordan didn't get sent into elimination at all . Yeah .
Speaker 2Which he had . I mean he had Torrey , obviously saving his butt a lot . I'm so done with that . It's so stupid , I know , but it's kind of just what it is right , I guess .
Speaker 1Well , after that goat debate , let's move on to the Super Bowl , which I actually did not watch this year and I'm not too upset about it .
Speaker 2Yeah , so please tell the audience what you were doing .
Super Bowl Talk and Quarterbacks
Speaker 1Okay , this does make more sense in context . We went skiing but in skiing we did the train from downtown Denver to Winter Park . So this is a literal Amtrak train that goes from directly in downtown and doesn't just drop you off to Winter Park . So this is a literal Amtrak train that goes from directly in downtown and doesn't just drop you off in Winter Park , it drops you off next to the lift . I'm talking like 20 feet from the lift .
Speaker 1And in years past it was too pricey . It was about 120 bucks round trip per person . And when you're thinking about , this is basically a way to skip traffic because sometimes the traffic up there can take five or six hours . So in that sense , $120 was like right on the limit of . I don't know if that's worth skipping traffic . They dropped it down , so it's around like $70 a person now . Much more doable . Definitely worth skipping traffic for $70 . Honestly , it was great because most people left the mountain at noon so we had a whole mountain to ourselves . Tracked it . Honestly , knowing how the game went , I'm not too upset about it . Didn't really miss much .
Speaker 2How long did you go there ? For how long ?
Speaker 1The whole day . It leaves at 7 am from Union Station , gets there at 9 , right as the lifts open , and then it leaves at 7 am from Union Station , gets there at 9 , right as the lifts open , and then it leaves at 4.30 and comes back and we got home at 6 . Oh , shoot , okay , so I did catch the end of the Super Bowl , but by that point there wasn't really anything going on . Yeah , yeah . I saw Kenny Pickett get put in , so that was kind of cool .
Speaker 2I actually didn't even realize that that's how much I was paying attention .
Speaker 1Have you seen the memes where it's like or like the ?
Speaker 2talks where it's like Mahomes was actually the fifth best quarterback in the Super Bowl .
Speaker 1No Number one Jalen Hurts , real obvious , he won the game . Number two Kenny Pickett Came in , didn't make any mistakes , sorry . Number four . Number three Number four Carson Wentz Also didn't make any mistakes . Wait , carson Wentz didn't get into the game , did he ? No , he was on the Chiefs sideline but he didn't throw any picks . Oh , okay , five , who's number ? No , he was on the Chiefs sideline but he didn't throw any picks oh , okay , fine .
Speaker 2Who's number three ? Oh , brady . Oh , because he was commenting yeah .
Speaker 1Great job in the booth and Mahomes fifth best quarterback on the day .
Speaker 2All right , I mean that's pretty good . Yeah , I mean he was awful .
Speaker 1Was he awful , or was the offensive line made of glass ? I mean , the Eagles D-line is really good and I think it's a combination .
Speaker 2Chiefs .
Speaker 1O-line looked bad .
Speaker 2Yeah , but like they didn't pressure , they didn't really pressure the Eagles , there was barely any blitzes , it was all like I said , it was the defensive line like pushing , yeah , you know , the , the chiefs o-line back , and then mahomes trying to step up , and then you know , usually when that happens , you know either you can break out or the pocket collapses , and that's what happened a lot of times is he just wasn't able to escape , which I think he didn't have the best of games . The o-line obviously didn't have the best of games , but I just I just thought that he forced some passes , that he probably didn't need to force um and just didn't play well it is true , I mean , it does bring up overall .
Speaker 2I'll say overall it was just a boring game . Oh yeah , not a great game , you don't ?
Speaker 1I mean ? What was it like ? It was blink of an eye , it was 17 , nothing yeah , it was .
Speaker 2I think it was 24 going into the half , or something like that .
Speaker 1Yeah , it's just not fun , especially . I mean , you just want the Super Bowl to be competitive . You want it to be a good game . You have so many people watching who are not real fans per se , so if it's not a good game , you're losing that whole audience . Heck , even in a bad game you might lose audience of people who are fans just because , I mean , the only people who probably tuned in all the way through the Super Bowl was Philadelphia . Yeah , they play great .
Speaker 1I mean , honestly , I've always been a Jalen Hurts fan , so I feel good for him in that aspect . He's , to me , one of those guys in the league where I'm not going to call him elite . He's not amazing , but he's good enough to get the job done . And I think this is something that gets skirted around in the NFL too much . Everyone wants Mahomes , everyone wants a franchise superstar quarterback who's going to lead the team for the next 10 to 15 years and , yes , that is wonderful . Everyone should want that . But I think there are plenty of serviceable quarterbacks in the NFL that do not get enough credit and you can win with them . Guys like Baker Mayfield , jalen Hurts , like these guys who just get tossed around from team to team because everyone says they're not elite . But you don't need to be elite to win a Super Bowl . Hey , ask Big Dick , nick , ask the rest of Philadelphia . They won their last Super Bowl .
Speaker 2Although he had he , I mean he did play a great game . Yeah , he had the MVP right of the Super Bowl . I don't disagree . I think and this is probably a bad example because he's never won a Super Bowl but , like Kirk Cousins , I was also going to say Kirk as well .
Speaker 1He's definitely someone in there who's good , not great but good enough he makes .
Speaker 2he can make the plays right . He's not flashy . He can make the plays right . He's not flashy , but if you give him a number one wide receiver that is dominant , or you give him a running back or whatever , right Like he can be , he can lead your team . Jared Goff Jared Goff is another good one , right ?
Speaker 1Exactly , I'm not going to say he's like amazing , but he is good enough to win your Super Bowl , and I know Detroit sees it . They're not going to let him's . Amazing , but he is good enough to win your Super Bowl and I know Detroit sees it . They're not going to let him go . So there's that . But that's how I see Jalen Hurts .
Speaker 1Jalen Hurts obviously not getting passed around in the NFL , but there's been lots of talks over the past couple years of whether or not the Eagles should be looking for another quarterback . Also , you've got to remember he was benched at Alabama in the national championship game . Transfers to Oklahoma does great at Oklahoma . He's just always been a guy who's good enough . I think there's other people in the league who I think fit that mold . I want to see Justin Fields get another proper second chance . I think Chicago definitely gave up on him too early . Pittsburgh I'm not going to say we gave up on him too early . Um pittsburgh I'm not gonna say we gave up on him . Last year we were in a situation where we were trying to win . Now the whole situation , pittsburgh . Last year . None of that was supposed to happen . So as soon as we ended up with a good record , it was like oh well , I guess we gotta go for the playoffs here , play russ yeah I mean , he was good enough .
Speaker 2I think you could still play them , but that's , that's another discussion .
Speaker 1Yeah , so with that I mean one of the things that got brought up in the Super Bowl . Obviously , if Mahomes wins this Super Bowl he's got four , so that puts him on pace Ahead . Was that ahead of Brady ? It would be ahead of Brady because I pulled up the stats . So Brady at this age , both 28 years old I don't have the postseason stats for Mahomes from this year but going into this postseason . So Mahomes has now lost , so he's got more starts than this . But at the age of 28 , 11 starts for Brady , 18 starts for Mahomes .
Speaker 1So Mahomes has been there a little bit more Records , not that much different . 18 starts for my homes , so my home has been there . A little bit more uh records , not that much different . Uh , brady , 10 and one in his first , basically three times , or actually it would be four times , to the playoffs , if you do that math correctly . Uh , cause if you lost once it means you didn't win once , so he's went to the playoffs four times .
Speaker 1Uh , he had a 10 and 1 record , so that's pretty amazing . You go to the playoffs four times and win it three of the four . Uh , mahomes , 15 and three . Not terrible , but he's also gone to the playoffs more than four times . He's there like six in since 28 I would still take that record .
Speaker 2I mean , he only , he only lost three times out of those six , which makes sense .
Speaker 1But the point that I want to get at here . So many people are already , after this Super Bowl , saying that the debate is over . Mahomes is now better than Brady , it's done Like Brady's better . But if you look at just the first three Super Bowls , you have to understand how different their career trajectories are .
Speaker 1Yeah , brady had a very similar start to his career . I mean , you could even put I'm not going to say some names , I'm just going to retract that statement because I was going to say some names . I was going to make everyone mad . I don't want to put Brady in the same conversation with those names . But the point that I make it is Brady not come into the league year one throwing for 5,000 yards ? That was not Brady . When he got into the league , brady was on a team with a fabulous defense , an amazing defense , and it's shown in his playoff stats Four trips to the playoffs , only 2,400 passing yards , so a little over 2,000 yards . Mahomes , in just seven more starts , has double the amount of passing yards in the playoffs . He is 5,100 . And touchdowns Brady 15 . Mahomes 41 . I think that's .
Speaker 2That might be the crazier stat , I think .
Speaker 1I think that's the stat that shows you how different one the NFL is and just how different the teams that they were playing on , like , obviously , mahomes . When you look at last year and the year before , those teams for the Chiefs much more defense-oriented , especially last year's team . The year before was still very good on offense , but last year was very much defense that won them the Super Bowl . But , brady , you could make an argument First three Super Bowls all defense .
Speaker 2I think that's usually what the argument is with Brady is that the first three were the defense right and then the last four right he's or does he have ? Eight he's got he's got seven , so the last four . So the last four were more on him . I think the bucks won a lot of that .
Speaker 1Bucks defense was good bucks defense was good , and that was a lot of teams giving up on players too soon . I mean they had gronk , antonio brown , chris godwin , mike evans the receiving core of antonio brown , mike evans and chris godwin is insane . And then you give that to brady and you add gronk was that the year that antonio brown left ? Yes , yes , it was to got his t-shirt .
Speaker 2Very much it was , so he didn't help out for the super bowl .
Speaker 1But he got him there . But it's just just showing you , like , how much talent was on that team . So much talent . Antonio brown was a third wide receiver . Yeah , he's a head case , but no one's gonna deny the man . He's a great wide receiver and you still had .
Speaker 2you still had , like you said you'd obviously mike evans , who is a very underrated superstar , chris Godwin , who should be a wide receiver , while not on any other team , and then you have Gronk right , who was still Gronk at the time , right , maybe a step slower , but still Gronk , which is he had an amazing offense . And who he had what ? Leonard Fournette right .
Speaker 1Yeah goal linebacker .
Speaker 2Big bruiser . He had what Leonard Fournette right , yeah , goal linebacker , big bruiser . I mean , yeah , he slowed down then but he was still . He was playoff winning for them , yeah .
Speaker 1So I mean the question I have for you is the debate closed ? Is Brady ?
Speaker 2clearly better than Mahomes , or are we still going to have to ride this out for 10 more years ? No , I mean . So I think I think the the dumb argument that we do is who has more championships , and that's usually the oh , he won seven or he won five , and you know he's . He's the goat because he won that many championships .
Quarterback and Tight End Debates
Speaker 2Championships are team oriented , yes . Championships are team oriented , yes , and you can't really put championships on just a single person , like why is this debate not on wide receivers or running backs or whatever ?
Speaker 2Right , I know that , I know they don't have the ball as much , right , but that's , it's such a stupid stat . It really should be what they do , what their passer rating is , what their yards are , what their touchdowns are passing , touchdowns , rushing , whatever . It should be all of those stats that are who's the better , and I think obviously , right now , it's still Patrick . Mahomes is the better quarterback and the stats show that that he's the better quarterback , and I know it's a different era , right , the stats show that , that he's the better quarterback , and I know it's a different era , right , those first . You know few seasons that Brady played versus what Mahomes played , right , different , you know it's more passing and stuff like that now , but I think Patrick Mahomes is still the better quarterback through what year 20 , or through their age , 28 year or whatever it is .
Speaker 1It's like what we talked about previously . Do I think brady is the best quarterback of all time ? No , no , is he the best playoff quarterback of all time ? Yes , that's just winning , but I , I would still give marino probably the best quarterback ever , and man never won in the playoffs he's the best winningest quarterback .
Speaker 2Yeah , that's , that's , that's what it is he's , he is the maybe he is the most clutch quarterback , or something like that . Like , but you can't say I don't think you can still say that he's the best playoff quarterback because he doesn't have the stats to back it up as of age 28 or 29, . Whatever these stats are going off of .
Speaker 1Yeah , it's hard to judge it in general . Someone in football needs to come up with a stat like war , like they have in baseball , so we can figure these things out . Because it's hard , because when you look at stats , so much in football is dependent on game script . Even if you went away from wins and defining factor for quarterbacks , if you just did yardage I mean Burrow was on he , he had the yardage this year and the touchdowns , but that was also because their defense couldn't stop anybody and Burrow was constantly out on the field having to score points , so like and Burrow was constantly out on the field having to score points , so like . I don't know if there is truly a great stat to decide like who's the better quarterback , because there's not really anything that the quarterback does that he's doing on his own . Everything else is contingent on so many other things . So it's a hard debate . But along with that debate we had a similar one Kelsey and Gronk . Where do we stand there ?
Speaker 2Yes , that's tough . I think this is the tougher debate because both are so dominant . Yeah , but I feel like in like different , in a way , different aspects .
Speaker 1Different aspects for sure . One of the things to consider as well is Gronk didn't really play that long .
Speaker 2No how many seasons I'm trying to look up his stats versus . But like Gronk , I feel like Gronk . I feel like , yes , gronk would get open , but he would get open , catch the ball and then just plow through a linebacker or a safety or whatever right and then get yards after the catch , whereas Kelsey Kelsey's the better , I think , route runner in getting open and then just finding the open field , but he doesn't run people over like Gronk did yeah .
Speaker 1So I mean it's . For me it's mainly when you just look at their careers and what you're saying . Kelsey's already had a longer career than Gronk had . Gronk played 11 seasons and the last one he was kind of like barely there in his last season he was just doing it for Brady . And then when you look at Kelsey , it's 12 seasons and he's probably coming back next year , most likely probably the year after that . So we'll probably get to 14 seasons . So that's three more seasons than Gronk . So you can't compare them on career metrics because he's got three more seasons with a fantastic quarterback . That's obviously going to put him way above Gronk on all career metrics . But it's what you're saying . It's the physical dominance that Gronk had , the best example I give that . You heard the story about him doing the t-shirts .
Speaker 1No , it was it was his year with the bucks , or he did two years with the bucks , but the year with the bucks where they won the super bowl , the covid year . What happened was they told him to do off-season sprint training . So gronk being gronk , who's pretty lazy and doesn't want to do it instead of so they were supposed to , like weekly , film themselves doing sprints and then send it in . Gronk got the idea instead of just filming weekly , he just went to the track , brought 10 t-shirts with him , would do the sprint in one t-shirt , change the t-shirt , do it again . So he did 10 times the amount of the workout in one day . But then he had all the videos saved and he just sat at home for the rest of the offseason .
Speaker 2And every time they're like gronk you're working out .
Speaker 1He would just send in a video with a different t-shirt on and they thought he was doing all the workouts . So the point that I'm making there is like gronk was just such a physical freak of nature like the man didn't even . He's not like a guy who studies the playbook , he's not a a guru , the man just knows how to play football . He does it .
Speaker 2Well , my favorite comparison of him is he's just a big dumb golden Labrador retriever that just loves catching balls .
Speaker 1Yeah , that's all . Super athletic Never had to be taught , doesn't need to be coached . You just go tell him to go get the ball and he goes . Okay , and he goes and gets it . It's amazing . So I still have gronk over kelsey , just from that like physical aspect alone . And on top of that , that season that he had with uh , with the bucks , he had like seven touchdowns in the first like three games and everyone was like what is happening ? He didn't end with like 20 , he ended up with like 14 or 15 , but still he had seven through three games . And that that was him not doing any off season training . He just showed up and was like I play football .
Speaker 2Yeah , I play football , I think I want . So , like I want Kelsey on my team If I am on the my own 20 yard line to like red zone , yeah , like I want him in that span because he's gonna get open , like he's gonna be the perfect dump off and and get the first down or whatever I want gronk from , uh , for the end zone , like that's where I want him targeting and stuff like that . I think I think that's like the perfect . Perfect thing is is he was the weapon . Gronk was the weapon in the end zone , kelsey not as much the weapon in the end zone , but he is the weapon to get the first down . So if you want receptions , you want . You want kel , you want kelsey . You want touchdowns , you want gronk yep .
Speaker 1So the way I have it is , brady is still above mahomes , but that debate very much still open . Mahomes has so much time to close that gap . Yeah , I don't even think he needs to win the seven Super Bowls . He's probably got to get the five would be the benchmark that I have . It's hard to you . Got to get close at least , yeah , but I just I don't think we're going to see a tight end . Better than Gronk .
Speaker 1Just from like how little Gronk cared to prepare . Have you heard the stories of his early days in with the Patriots ? How he would go out with his boys in Boston and instead of going home he would have them drop them off at the training facility . He'd fall asleep on the training table and then he would wake up in the morning and the training staff would already start IVs for him . Right , the point was like gronk . Gronk has never been the person who's like I study film , I work hard . That's who kelsey is in my mind , the kelsey's . He worked hard , he got . He almost got kicked out of football permanently . He had to work to get where he is . But just gronk was just , he just had it . He's just yeah . So in terms , kelsey's obviously going to beat Gronk in every career statistic , but I'm still taking Gronk on my team over Kelsey .
Speaker 1I think I would want Gronk too , so we're in agreement there All right Under our final topic of the day , because this is something I've been doing with my soon-to-be sister-in-law , bree . We are re-watching the MCU because she has never seen it all . Well , you are re-watching , I'm re-watching it . She's watching it for the first time , correct , I'm forcing her to do it a little bit . It's hard . She is not the biggest fan of superheroes . She does like cosmic stuff , so we watch Guardians guardians she's very much a fan of guardians . Um , it was a struggle to get her through the first few movies .
Speaker 2So so , before you go more into this , how are you watching this ? Are you watching this in movie order ? Yes , are you watching this in ?
Speaker 1okay , so you're not watching in like mcu chronological order I'm gonna address that really quick because I will say this I hate people who watch it in chronological order versus release order , and that's because these are all creative . You gotta . This is hollywood . These are creative art projects . Someone made the creative decision to release the movies in the order that they did . Why do you think you know better than that person ?
Speaker 2Well , I'll say I will say this to debate you on that topic is they had the first Iron man come out , right . And then , once that was a hit , they're like all right , who is the next good you know superhero that we could use , that we have the rights to Captain America , thor , all that stuff , right . And then once those popped off , they're like all right , we need to find more characters to use , who can we use ?
Speaker 2And they're like all right , we can do Ms Marvel , but how do we introduce her ? She's this cosmic massive superpower . Let's set her back in the 90s and still have it connect .
Speaker 1It's like watching a . Tv show and they do a flashback Fair . I'm saying it's a really different thing .
Speaker 1Yes , the flashback happened earlier , but the reason why you're getting that flashback at that point in time is because it's now relevant to the story that's coming up . It was a creative decision . Yes , I do understand they had to work around legal issues of who they owned and what , but at the end of the day , they had a creative direction . They chose to go a certain route and there's a reason why they got released in the order that they did . So I will always watch it in the order it was released , so I've watched them both ways .
Speaker 2Don't eat only like way that it screws you up . If you watch them in chronological order , is the end credit scenes yeah , because then they don't make any sense yes , that's the only time it screws you up , but otherwise it's pretty . It's pretty much fine okay .
Speaker 1So the ones , what I've done with brie to help her with the ones that I know she's not gonna like . We watched iron man because I forced that on her . I said we got to watch the origin stories for the big three , so we got to watch Iron man 1 . We got to watch Cap 1 . And we got to watch Thor , the first Thor . I did let her skip Iron man 2 .
Speaker 2I mean that's disappointing , because that's probably the worst one .
Speaker 1I don't know Iron man 3 is not great . The iron man movies really aren't that good .
Speaker 1This is something we'll get to towards the end of this conversation , but I was gonna highlight that in the sense that I think mc really hit a sweet spot , like right after the first avengers movie . That between like uh yeah , starting at winter Soldier all the way through to Infinity War and Endgame is all hits . You get some rough patches at the start there , but the thing is only because they were good movies at the time . But then the MCU just kept making better and better movies . So now when you look back you're like , oh yeah , the movies . I liked it when it came out . But now it's like , eh , it's OK .
Speaker 2So we did out of the first phase of movies .
Speaker 1We did Iron man , then we did Thor and then we did Captain America and then we did Avengers and we got pretty good reception on . We got good reception on the Avengers movie . I think we liked Thor , but more from the comedic standpoint . She liked all the other characters in Thor , how they called Mjolnir , mima that was a big , so like that stuff OK .
Speaker 1Avengers was good , but she's not the biggest Captain America , thor or Iron man fan . But I did explain that we have to watch those early movies because you gotta know who they were as people to fully understand their character arcs in later movies . You , you didn't watch the Incredible Hulk right no , I let her skip that one too , just because it's like so not connected it it's not , but that's I mean it's actually like that movie .
Speaker 1It's not a bad movie and it the movie itself does actually get referenced a little more than you think , because they didn't yeah , they didn't , they got . If you really , if you re-watch the avengers , there's a scene where they introduce , uh , mark ruffalo and in the scenes they were like , oh , we're going to go to New York and he goes not really a biggest fan there and they're like why he goes . Oh , the last time I was there , I kind of broke Harlem . So that was like a moment that they had where lines and it's amazing because it's like you are not the character we're expecting uh , so like they don't really call it a recasting in Avengers , yeah , they just kind of move on with it , but that is also like one of the only references back to that movie and then it's just mark ruffalo and his version of the character after that so , so , just to stop you from that first phase , right .
Marvel Movie and Super Bowl Trailers
Speaker 2Iron man , incredible hulk . Iron man 2 , thor captain america , avengers , yep . What's your favorite ? What's your least favorite ?
Speaker 1favorite is probably the avengers movie . Um , yes , agreed , even though I will say it does have my least favorite captain america costume . I hate his outfit from that movie I really dislike super bright , super tight and spandexy . I am yeah , that's fair not a fan of it . I much prefer his like military combat outfits from winter soldier and later movies significantly more armory . Yeah , least favorite from those , honestly probably Thor Yep Agreed .
Speaker 2It just does .
Speaker 1Yeah , it's . The whole point of that movie was to set up how immature he is and show that , how far he has to go as a character . But not a whole lot happens . And I will say this you can tell from those early movies that budgets were not huge . Yes , thor , a lot of it shot on a green screen .
Speaker 1You had a lot of cgi characters in that movie but in general , outside of a couple big fight scenes , it's just people talking , not saying that that's bad . That's plot development . It's good for the movie , but when you it gets different throughout the movies . Like that is my least favorite captain america movie . And one of the reasons why it's my least favorite captain america movie is he never fights in the whole movie . You think he does because what you actually remember is a two-minute montage that they insert in the middle of the film that show him fighting all the wars stuff . But in reality he maybe does like cool Captain America stuff for like a couple minutes of that movie . But going on to the later batch of movies which so far we have gotten up to , we've watched Guardians of the Galaxy . So phase two , I let her skip Iron man 3 , because the only thing you really got to know from Iron man 3 is Tony has PTSD .
Speaker 2Wait , did you skip Thor the Dark World ?
Speaker 1Yes , ok , I did explain she has to suffer Through all these Terrible movies too . I did explain that an infinity stone Gets introduced . But really , outside of that , what else do you remember From Thor 2 ? That's like the main thing You're like . The ether is introduced . We get dark elves Malekith , yeah , malekith , dark elves . Bad stuff , yeah , malekith , yeah , malekith , dark .
Speaker 2Elves .
Speaker 1Bad stuff . Yeah , that's pretty much it . Yeah , yeah , all you need to . I explained it . I was like we got a Reality Stone gets introduced and we think Loki dies , but that's also the end of every Thor movie Does set up Thor 3 a little bit .
Speaker 2Does it ? It does set it up , yeah , because odin right odin leaves or whatever , and loki becomes odin oh yeah , you get that post-credit scene where he's impersonating odin .
Speaker 1I mean it's a post-credit scene , so you didn't need to see the movie , you just need the post-credit . But um , but I will say this I was very successful in this . Brie did not like the first captain america movie , which is understandable because it's a very different vibe than the other two . But I explained to her because she did not want to watch winter soldier and I said this is my favorite mcu movie and I think it's perfect .
Speaker 1And after the movie she did turn to me after the movie go . Okay , that one was pretty good , I was like I knew it , I knew it , it's , it's easily the best captain america the best .
Speaker 2oh is it ? Yeah , I'm gonna say it's the best out of the three original three big three superheroes .
Speaker 1It's the best movie out of their arcs In my mind , I think it's the best MCU movie in terms of you could completely remove it from the MCU and it's a fantastic standalone movie . Start to finish , plot twists , plot plot development , spy noir film . You get the man out of time aspect with captain america falcon coming in his own .
Speaker 2It's great , that's fair try to look at any other other ones that I'm doing I will say she loved guardians .
Speaker 1But that was we knew she was gonna like guardians , she likes space stuff . So I was like , oh well , this will probably be your favorite . But I will say this she did see it from a very different perspective , because when we saw guardians of the galaxy guardians of the galaxy was a surprise hit because we were kind of like , oh , guardians , yeah , there's plenty of other characters we could be doing . Now I wonder why they're doing guardians of the galaxy .
Speaker 2Who are these people that I've never heard of ?
Speaker 1Yeah . So , like I did explain to her that even for , like , actual comic fans , people were generally surprised when they released guardians galaxy and that's why it became so popular , because it was such a surprise hit that everyone was like , oh my gosh , it's great . But she knew it was a surprise hit . So she watched it and she was like , oh my gosh , it's great . But she knew it was a surprise hit .
Speaker 1So she watched it and she was like , yeah , it was good , I liked it . And I was like I see , see , everyone else had that like shock and awe value to that movie . I don't think she had the shock and awe value because she knew it was a good movie going into it . That makes sense , that's fair .
Speaker 2So phase two , phase two out of Iron man three Thor , dark World , kazimerica , winter , soldier that's obviously going to be both our favorites Guardians of the Galaxy . Avengers , age of Ultron , ant-man what's your ?
Speaker 1least favorite , Least favorite . I honestly I don't really hate Thor the Dark World . It just doesn't do much , I mean . I think it was more of just a dropped opportunity . Especially now that I've read the War of the Worlds crossover event , it's just kind of disappointing that we lost Dark Elves . Yeah for some reason , Iron man 3 is pretty bad dude .
Speaker 2I don't mind the twist of . It's not really the real Mandarin . Everyone , I hated that . See , I didn't mind it , it I don't know why . I was like all right , like whatever . And now , now you can get trevor slattery for , uh , phase five or phase six , whatever it is with , uh , what's the name ? Uh , I forgot the new show that's coming out , thunderbolts . No , it's not Thunderbolts , it's a guy Just say words , say any words . I don't know .
Speaker 1Just let me look this up . Okay , continue talking . Well , I mean , those are the main things for the movie , so we're going to get there . Hopefully we'll watch Age of Ultron here in the coming days . I know people don't like age of ultron . I've always actually been a big fan of age of ultron . Something that does get talked about a lot of why people like that movie is it's really the only movie we see in which the avengers are actually on a team . All the other avenger movies are about them forming the team or the team getting broken up . So I love age of ultron because it's really cool to actually see them do all the stuff . So hopefully we'll do that soon .
Speaker 1But in general , we had the super bowl , so we got the movie trailers , specifically some marvel trailers , um , first one to go over . We'll start . We'll start small , and when I say small , uh , captain america , brave new world . We didn't really get a whole lot more from it . Pretty much know everything about that movie that we're going to know comes out this weekend . I'm going to go see it . It's going to be from , travi's going to be here , so we're going to see it together .
Speaker 1It's going to be good , yeah , but not a lot of news there . I will say , the one thing that I now find disappointing about the Super Bowl , especially with movie trailers , is they all come out online the week before the Super Bowl and you don't it . Just , I don't strap in that much anymore for the commercials , because all these commercials go online instantly , Like the only one that didn't was the Thunderbolts trailer . That one remained under wraps . We can talk about that now because we did finally get . It wasn't a I wouldn't not going to call it an official confirmation , because with the introduction of Sentry that we're probably going to get the void and in general , once you introduce that , there's not really a bigger villain to introduce into the movie or there's just too much going on . So I was pretty aware that it was going to be the void , but we finally got the official confirmation in the trailer that the big bad of the movie will be the void .
Speaker 2Sentry , and it's Wonder man . By the way , wonder man is the movie . Oh , he's gonna be in that . Oh the .
Speaker 1Is that movie or tv show ? I thought that was gonna be tv show , tv show , but we did get the big reveal of the century , uh , and the void , yep or more .
Speaker 2Just you know , it's gonna be either century or void , whoever it is , yeah , my big both in it .
Speaker 1Yeah , my big reaction from that reveal is he's gonna die . He's just from the trailer alone , he is too powerful , he's way too powerful . He's , he's gotta be , sidelined or killed in some fashion . All right , he's .
Speaker 2He's for sure . So this is my hope that the MCU kind of moves in this direction of not killing off like big bads , and so obviously the Sentry is Superman , like on steroids , with like everything that he can do , and the Void is the same thing , just bad , slightly different powers , but yeah yeah , but so I hope they don't kill him and obviously like really the thunderbolts aren't really going to have any major effects on the void right , so it's going to be centuries gonna have to go up against him to take him down , kind of thing .
Speaker 2So my hope is like they somehow find a way to contain him and then he's hopefully in secret invasion or something like that . Like pops up in that um or or some movie down the line yeah , we'll see .
Speaker 1He's a hard character because he is really powerful and he's not in a lot of the main front comics at all .
Speaker 2So no , yeah but like I can see , I can see this movie doing well , and then people being like , oh , like I would love to see the century in his own standalone movie and you're not gonna have his major villain , you know , fight against him in that , in his own standalone kind of thing , or like whatever . Yeah , so like that's . My thinking is like you have to have his big bad , not die that's fair .
Speaker 1Um , the other big trailer that we got fantastic for well , didn't really get for the super bowl did get released or did play during the super bowl , but it was released like all the other trailers I'm complaining about a couple days before the super bowl , so I'd seen it prior . Um , big reveals from this trailer Couple things . Galactus . What'd you think ? My initial reaction he's too small .
Speaker 2I think that just could be the MC like them , marvel just like playing at it . Because I watched something actually today where they were showing like actual film . You know movie to like film movie . You know movie to like the trailer and how , how different they have made things and like shots and like they've removed people or like change somebody's costume or whatever . So I'm hoping that that's like that .
Speaker 1I mean , galactus should be obviously massive , right , and bigger yeah , but I , I've obviously massive right and bigger , yeah , but I've , I've , I've read comics where he is able to fight a celestial yeah well , we've gotten a celestial in the eternals and yeah , they are massive . Galactus is nowhere near that size . He is a fair bear ant to them .
Speaker 2But he could , they could be playing out like he's still kind of growing kind of thing , you know .
Speaker 1I hope so . Did you see the little bit of the plot reveal that happened ?
Speaker 2No , maybe .
Speaker 1All right . Well , I'll say spoiler warning . The plot reveal that came out is galactus and the silver surfer are hunting down the fantastic four and it might have there's a hint that it's due to someone else in the family . So basically , what I heard , um is galactus's universe gets destroyed and he's coming for the Fantastic Four to get Nathaniel Richards to help rebuild his universe . Okay , that story I love . I want Galactus to be bigger though , but I love that story because it's a clear pathway for them into the MCU . They try to help . Stuff goes really bad and then you get a post-credit scene with robert downey jr being like yo , pedro pascal talking to robert downey jr being like yo , I messed up .
Speaker 1We gotta like combine the multiverse , or do something also , if you pause the fantastic four trailer , there is a moment when pedro pascal's drawing on the whiteboard . If you pause it , you can see in the background that he is literally looking up quantum tunneling between universes .
Speaker 2I have to rewatch this trailer because I guess I wasn't paying attention to it enough , so now I got to like rewatch that .
Speaker 1Yeah , those are the big things in that one for me . Obviously a little disappointed with the size of Galactus . He's still large , like he's significantly large , like he's significantly larger than the statue of liberty , but like I'm sure , I'm sure he's .
Speaker 2well , it could also be a different right alternate reality galactus , so like maybe the earth 616 . No , they're not Earth 616 . They're , I feel , whatever Earth they are . Maybe the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Galactus is more massive .
Speaker 1Yeah , could be . That's it Last trailer , not really MCU related , but I love me some Jurassic Park . So the Jurassic Park trailer have you watched it ? What'd you think ? Yes , I thought it looked good . I'm very some Jurassic Park so the Jurassic Park trailer .
Speaker 2Have you watched it ? What'd you think ? Yes , I thought it was . I thought it looked good . I'm very excited for this . Oh , like I'm . I'm interested to see kind of like where , like what . I'm assuming they're going to do a trilogy off this right , so something like that . So I just feel like you can only go go back to the park so many times and then have this whole thing happen .
Dinosaur Movie and Super Bowl Trailers
Speaker 2So like I kind of liked how you know , jurassic world brought some of those dinosaurs into , like the mainstream world , oh you like the second two .
Speaker 1I mean , I like the second one , but the third one , the third one of the second trilogy , just felt like it didn't really have a heart to it . It didn't really fair . I also didn't really feel like it was a great conclusion .
Speaker 2It just I just I , just I , yeah , I mean I don't screw with that , but I just like how at least they brought them into our world , type thing . Yeah , it wasn't like all right , we're gonna do the same thing again where we're going back to the park and where we have this issue to solve , kind of thing , or , like you know , we want to go grab this device or this piece of data , like I liked how it was all right , they're kind of coming into our world a little bit now .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 2And that , like that's why I like the second Jurassic Park that came out , because it started happening kind of like in New York and they brought the dinosaurs over and like all that stuff . Like to me that was like interesting , right , they weren't just going back to Isla , isla new right , isla new bar , yeah , so like they weren't constantly going back to that kind of thing .
Speaker 1so yeah , I'm . I'm excited for it . Obviously the big thing that people are excited about is the spinosaurus's are back . For people who watched the original jurassic park 3 , that was not very good . Um , spinosaurus obviously a big part of that movie . Spinosaurs are back . I'm with you .
Speaker 1The one thing I don't I I like the trailer in terms of this looks like it's a little different view than what you're you have is this looks like it's more back to the jurassic park roots , which is kind of a horror movie about dinosaurs , which is , if you've read the book , that's what these are supposed to be . You definitely felt that in the first jurassic park if you ever watched the lost world , the original sequel , you felt it . In that one even uh , jurassic world , with the whole park coming down , the indominus rex was a scary villain and they did a good job of playing that up . So like I think we're getting back to the root of this being a horror movie with dinosaurs , and it looks like I think we're getting back to the root of this being a horror movie with dinosaurs , and it looks like that from the trailer . The only thing I don't love is did you catch the weird hybrid dinosaur ?
Speaker 2uh , yes , oh they're . They're always gonna do that like yeah , I can't have with the hybrid dinosaurs . But but you can't always have the t-rex be why not ? Because because you know main , like mainstream audiences , they get bored with that kind of stuff .
Speaker 1Yeah but how many people can always ? Have the velociraptor how many dinosaurs can you name off the top of your head ?
Speaker 1triceratops , well , okay , you don't actually have to do it like give me a ballpark number what you , like an advanced person , could probably name like 20 , like you know what I mean . So the point that I'm making is probably five to ten , okay , yeah , so you're at five to ten . You're telling me an archaeologist can't just tell them about a new dinosaur . If the general population only knows about five to ten dinosaurs , why can't someone just walk in and be like we got another carnivore and you don't have to create a weird hybrid thing .
Speaker 2And it's called this Because I bet the reason is well , I'm sure there were definitely dinosaurs that were bigger than the T-Rex , right ?
Speaker 1But people are going to be like , oh , that just , that's just the t-rex and that's probably just a made-up name anyway okay , well , reason , I bring that apparently it's supposed to be a mutant hybrid and the design is a cross between alien from alien and a couple other things and I read that and I was like , oh it's going to have a weird mutant hybrid baby dinosaur thing .
Speaker 2Aren't they coming out with an alien show ? Now that you say that , yes they are .
Speaker 1I'm kind of excited for that . That'll be good .
Speaker 2Yeah .
Speaker 1Any other Super Bowl trailer reactions you got ?
Speaker 2No , because I actually didn't really watch too many trailers or actually commercials . It was more just like after the fact I was like , oh , that came out , I should have , I should watch that . So I watched , like the Thunderbolts trailer . I thought I watched the Fantastic Four trailer . Now I'm second-guessing myself . No , I'm excited for those movies . Those movies . I think they're gonna be good . Yeah any , any closing words for us no , uh , just excited to watch the four nations face off , which actually starts tonight .
Speaker 1Hockey except we're gonna go watch silo , which I still have not watched yet 30 minutes wait what do you mean ?
Speaker 2what do you mean ? Are we not watching silo ? No , no , we are . But what do you mean ? Oh , you're saying we haven't watched it yet ? Yeah , yeah , I was like what do you mean ? We're not supposed to watch it , so let's watch it together . We are gonna watch it together in 30 minutes . But , yes , uh , four nations face off canada , finland , sweden , america . Watch it .
