[00:00:00] podcast. I'm Sean, you know, I mean, and this is the only podcast that says may the force
[00:00:36] be with you always. It's made the fourth where we're recording on made a fourth. So I figure
[00:00:42] might as well just get out there. So how are you, sir? I'm good. Yeah.
[00:00:54] Watching some stuff. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Got further into.
[00:01:05] Well, yeah. I finished that.
[00:01:10] Well, yeah, I like the way it ended.
[00:01:12] Okay, good. It I got concerned because it was like, man, there's a lot of plot threads here
[00:01:19] that don't quite add up.
[00:01:23] And when you got to the end, I'm like, oh, they tied that together nicely.
[00:01:26] Yeah. So yeah. Yeah, I was thinking the same thing throughout the yeah.
[00:01:31] Yeah.
[00:01:34] So, um, yeah, so I'm still watching that.
[00:01:38] I watched that Zack Snyder part two.
[00:01:42] Oh, Rebel Man. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:01:44] It's pretty good. I enjoyed that a lot of it.
[00:01:45] Yeah. I don't know if they're going to make another one.
[00:01:47] I think they are. Yeah, they should.
[00:01:49] I mean, there's definitely I think I net.
[00:01:52] I mean, I honestly feel like Netflix is invested in Zack Snyder.
[00:01:56] Yeah. And I'm I feel confident that there were enough people that watched that.
[00:02:05] That it will, you know, the third movie should be made.
[00:02:10] Yeah. But he's he's done his ode to the seven samurai now.
[00:02:15] Yeah. You know, yeah. What's next?
[00:02:18] Yeah, I figured that I got that glimpse too.
[00:02:22] Yeah. Well, I watched Argo.
[00:02:33] What Argo?
[00:02:36] It was that movie.
[00:02:37] It started up Bryce Dallas Howard and Sam Rockwell and.
[00:02:44] Was it good?
[00:02:45] Yeah, I mean, it was directed by the same guy who does the Kingsman.
[00:02:51] OK, Matthew Vaughan. OK, I enjoyed it.
[00:02:57] Now, I will say this, the third act, there are a couple of.
[00:03:03] Fight sequences that reach a level of ridiculousness that even I was like,
[00:03:11] Chad, please. OK.
[00:03:13] But I like I expect a certain level of over the top.
[00:03:22] From Matthew Vaughan at this point. Yeah.
[00:03:25] Like if you look back at like what he's done over, like,
[00:03:28] I mean, he directed Layer Cake, he directed X-Men First Class.
[00:03:32] And then he starts kind of like Kingsman, the second one, the Kingsman.
[00:03:39] You know, he he's kind of like if he's left to his own devices,
[00:03:47] I think he gets a little he he gets a little too stylistic and he gets a little
[00:03:52] too too wacky. But I kind of like that in his movies.
[00:03:57] Yeah. Like it's kind of like it's kind of the same thing was actually
[00:04:02] that's nighter like.
[00:04:05] When Zach Snyder is up to his own devices, you get Rebel Moon part one and two.
[00:04:09] You you get, you know, the city of the dead.
[00:04:13] Yeah. Or whatever that was kind of the zombie movie he made on Netflix.
[00:04:18] You get the soccer punch.
[00:04:20] Yeah. You know, movies that are when you watch and you kind of go,
[00:04:25] OK, that was.
[00:04:27] That was yeah, you know.
[00:04:29] But but you still enjoy it.
[00:04:32] I feel the same way about Matthew Vaughan movies that he his movies are a little.
[00:04:38] They're a little kooky.
[00:04:41] You know, they reach they reach a level where you go, I don't know about all that.
[00:04:45] But at the same time, the story was good enough to kind of go along with it.
[00:04:49] Yeah. Yeah. So cool.
[00:04:51] So if you haven't seen it, you enjoy.
[00:04:54] If you enjoy Kingsman and you enjoy the Kingsman and like you
[00:04:57] enjoyed that type of.
[00:04:59] A static, then you'll enjoy this.
[00:05:04] Like I mean, Sam Rockwell is great.
[00:05:06] Sam Rockwell is always great.
[00:05:08] You know, and, you know, Bryce Dallas Howard is.
[00:05:13] Always really good.
[00:05:14] Yeah.
[00:05:15] And then you throw in like, you know, you got Henry Cavill in there.
[00:05:18] You've got John Cena in there at certain points.
[00:05:20] He gets, you know, our old friend of the show, Samuel L.
[00:05:24] Jackson showing up like, you know, it's.
[00:05:29] It was it was entertaining.
[00:05:31] And just like I said, like some some like.
[00:05:34] Like what there are a couple of like I said, like the couple of fight scenes
[00:05:37] in the third act where I'm just like, whoo, I'm not quite sure what I
[00:05:41] were smoking when he decided to do this.
[00:05:43] But OK, you know.
[00:05:48] But overall, I still enjoyed it and I would recommend it.
[00:05:51] But only if you like that style, if you like his style of movie.
[00:05:54] Yeah, I did.
[00:05:55] Yeah. So.
[00:05:57] That's good. Yeah.
[00:06:00] You haven't really watched anything else.
[00:06:02] So that's been about it.
[00:06:03] Yeah.
[00:06:05] I also start a discovery.
[00:06:07] It started.
[00:06:09] Yeah, I thought I told you, I guess I didn't.
[00:06:11] Yeah, they're like episode seven.
[00:06:13] Oh, shit. Yeah.
[00:06:14] How's that?
[00:06:15] Really good.
[00:06:16] Well, it's the final season.
[00:06:18] Final season. Yeah.
[00:06:19] And I'm really enjoying it and I really liked it.
[00:06:21] And it's been very, very good.
[00:06:25] I've.
[00:06:27] I'll be sad when the seasons are over and the show is over
[00:06:30] because it's the show has been that good overall.
[00:06:34] So yeah, yeah.
[00:06:36] I didn't even know that was out.
[00:06:37] Yeah.
[00:06:40] That's cool.
[00:06:41] Yeah.
[00:06:45] Cool.
[00:06:45] Yes, that's what I've been up to for the most part.
[00:06:52] Yeah.
[00:06:54] I'm fishing there.
[00:06:55] Did you?
[00:06:58] How was that?
[00:06:59] It was good. It was rainy.
[00:07:00] Yeah.
[00:07:01] It was about a brief period of about an hour and a half.
[00:07:03] It didn't rain.
[00:07:04] But.
[00:07:05] Really started coming down.
[00:07:07] Yeah.
[00:07:08] That caught both mine in the rain.
[00:07:10] That makes sense.
[00:07:11] That's who today.
[00:07:14] And yeah, it's good.
[00:07:19] Good.
[00:07:20] You're getting out.
[00:07:23] It's about it.
[00:07:25] Good dipping your rod in the water.
[00:07:29] Yeah, it was good.
[00:07:30] That was the first time you'd gone this year, right?
[00:07:32] Yeah.
[00:07:33] Yeah.
[00:07:34] I usually never go opening day.
[00:07:35] But.
[00:07:36] Yeah, I know that.
[00:07:37] But I don't know if maybe you'd gone.
[00:07:38] It's kind of on a whim that I went today.
[00:07:39] So.
[00:07:40] Yeah.
[00:07:42] Yeah.
[00:07:43] So I went out and fished a little bit.
[00:07:46] Yeah, it was good.
[00:07:47] Yeah.
[00:07:49] We had a wingstop open to White Oak.
[00:07:52] I went there today.
[00:07:53] Wings.
[00:07:54] Yeah.
[00:07:56] It was all right.
[00:07:59] It was better than the one in North for sale.
[00:08:05] So.
[00:08:07] Can't remember the name.
[00:08:08] I can't remember the name of it.
[00:08:10] Okay.
[00:08:11] But I mean, I had like eight boneless wings.
[00:08:16] They're French fries are like the.
[00:08:19] My like my biggest but the way the bonus wings weren't bad.
[00:08:23] Okay.
[00:08:24] You know, and I thought the I got with garlic and Parmesan dry rub, which I enjoyed.
[00:08:33] Because sometimes you go to places, especially if like it's like, you know, we're just going to make some garlic butter and toss it.
[00:08:40] Like, you know, they get like nasty.
[00:08:43] Right.
[00:08:44] And a lot of places do that.
[00:08:45] And I was like, I don't like it.
[00:08:47] So it's a dry rub.
[00:08:48] I enjoyed it.
[00:08:50] Um, but they're French fries are fresh cut potatoes.
[00:08:53] Hmm.
[00:08:54] Like, and I just it was like a thing of like, they need to be cooked like one more minute.
[00:08:58] Yeah.
[00:08:59] Like they were done.
[00:09:01] Yeah.
[00:09:02] But I like them a little bit crisper.
[00:09:03] You get them to go?
[00:09:04] Yeah.
[00:09:05] That's the problem.
[00:09:06] I mean, I bet you fresh cuts are only good.
[00:09:09] Like when you're eating them where you stay.
[00:09:11] Okay.
[00:09:12] I feel like once you put the tin foil around it or once you wrap them, yeah, they just all that heat all that.
[00:09:18] Well, they weren't they weren't wrapped.
[00:09:20] Okay.
[00:09:21] They were in the bag.
[00:09:22] Like it was like the wings were in like a clam shell container and then the fries were putting a basket and they were unwrapped and that was put in the bag.
[00:09:33] Right.
[00:09:34] So it wasn't like, I know what you mean.
[00:09:38] And but no, it was just that thing of like it just they needed like be cooked like one more minute.
[00:09:45] Right.
[00:09:46] I think it would have been fine even even getting them to go to me again to go and I mean, I would you know, it was a five minute drive home less than that.
[00:09:57] Right.
[00:09:58] You know, so but the wings were tasty.
[00:10:03] Yeah.
[00:10:06] Yeah.
[00:10:07] Tell you what?
[00:10:09] I have to change my tune here.
[00:10:12] Okay.
[00:10:13] I got they I didn't buy being the girls but raising canes chicken fingers raising canes that's the place I was talking about thinking about yeah.
[00:10:24] And I first tasted raising canes and Lincoln.
[00:10:27] Yeah.
[00:10:28] I think I got a chicken.
[00:10:29] Yeah.
[00:10:30] But they brought these fricking chicken dinner sounds.
[00:10:36] They good.
[00:10:37] Yeah.
[00:10:39] Good tenors, good sauces.
[00:10:41] Yeah, it was good.
[00:10:44] See, I wasn't impressed by Cain's.
[00:10:49] I like the chicken fingers.
[00:10:51] And that's what I got.
[00:10:52] I got chicken fingers.
[00:10:53] I thought the chicken fingers were kind of bland and I didn't think the sauce was all that like.
[00:11:02] Wow.
[00:11:03] Like, because people talk about it when we get the chicken is going to be bland but the sauce is what's worth it and I thought the sauce was just meh.
[00:11:10] Okay.
[00:11:11] You know, I thought the french fries were good.
[00:11:16] But I mean like I wasn't like I wasn't like blown away by their sauce and the fingers.
[00:11:23] Okay.
[00:11:24] I did.
[00:11:25] I enjoyed it.
[00:11:26] I'm glad you did.
[00:11:27] Yeah.
[00:11:28] I don't know maybe fresh batch but I mean yeah I thought or maybe I was just really hungry but yeah it hit the spot.
[00:11:34] I mean it wasn't bad.
[00:11:35] Right.
[00:11:36] But it was just that thing of like it wasn't worth like I don't know if I was like over hyped for it.
[00:11:44] Yeah.
[00:11:45] Yeah.
[00:11:46] Because I don't think I was.
[00:11:47] I think I kind of went in there with like a level headed expectation.
[00:11:50] I just wasn't overwhelmed by it.
[00:11:52] I just thought they were just like, oh that was okay.
[00:11:54] I mean you know if somebody said hey you want to go to Keynes I wouldn't complain but at the same time I'm not going to go out on my way to go there.
[00:12:04] Right.
[00:12:05] You know.
[00:12:08] It's kind of the same with Wingstop.
[00:12:09] Like I don't know if like they do have chicken sandwiches.
[00:12:13] I like to try chicken sandwich from there.
[00:12:15] But like I think if I really like I would probably go to Big Shot Bobs for wings before I would go there.
[00:12:24] You don't care for Bobs?
[00:12:26] Nah.
[00:12:27] I remember that one time I got Bobs.
[00:12:28] They had on a keysport and they cut all the chicken wings wrong and then.
[00:12:31] Yeah.
[00:12:32] Into my fucking drums were all bound.
[00:12:35] I'm like you're cut wrong.
[00:12:39] Yeah.
[00:12:40] I get from the one of White Oak is bound.
[00:12:42] Yeah.
[00:12:43] Like it's completely inedible.
[00:12:45] I get it from the one of White Oak and I don't have a problem.
[00:12:50] Yeah.
[00:12:51] Yeah.
[00:12:52] I didn't think where else I went.
[00:13:04] I went to.
[00:13:06] It's a Capitol Girl.
[00:13:08] Yeah.
[00:13:10] Have you ever heard of that place?
[00:13:12] I mean it sounds familiar but I got down to Oakland.
[00:13:14] Yeah.
[00:13:15] I had a really good burger.
[00:13:17] Yeah.
[00:13:18] Yeah it was a burger and.
[00:13:21] It sounded odd but.
[00:13:24] I didn't think it was going to be where I'm going.
[00:13:26] Uh huh.
[00:13:28] They came out like in almost like a little, not a crock but like a.
[00:13:33] Mini crock style sizzler pan.
[00:13:35] You love sizzler bowl?
[00:13:36] Yeah.
[00:13:37] Like a skillet moon?
[00:13:38] Yeah.
[00:13:39] Like a mini one.
[00:13:40] Not mini.
[00:13:41] Yeah.
[00:13:42] And there was French onion soup with the good bread.
[00:13:46] Uh huh.
[00:13:47] You know on top was the burger with the cheese and the.
[00:13:49] Yeah.
[00:13:50] Yeah.
[00:13:51] And that was really good.
[00:13:53] I was really impressed by that.
[00:13:54] Yeah.
[00:13:55] Yeah it was really good.
[00:13:57] Food was really good.
[00:13:59] And uh yeah it's really cool.
[00:14:05] Cool.
[00:14:06] Um.
[00:14:08] Maybe that's about it.
[00:14:10] Yeah.
[00:14:11] Eating.
[00:14:12] Eating spider.
[00:14:15] Yeah.
[00:14:16] So what's on your mind?
[00:14:17] So what do you got?
[00:14:19] Well I guess we should start with the uh.
[00:14:21] The Steeler news that they decided to decline.
[00:14:25] Naji Harris's 50 year option.
[00:14:27] What's that?
[00:14:30] They declined Naji Harris's 50 year option.
[00:14:33] Did they?
[00:14:37] Yeah.
[00:14:38] Wow.
[00:14:40] So I mean that means at the end you know at the end of this season there'll be a free agent unless they can re-sign them.
[00:14:45] Yeah.
[00:14:46] I mean now they can um.
[00:14:51] Franchise tag them.
[00:14:52] Mmm.
[00:14:53] But I feel like the fran- and I don't know I'd have to look and see.
[00:14:59] But I feel like the franchise tag would probably be higher than what the 6 million he was.
[00:15:04] He would have gotten what the 50 year option would have been.
[00:15:07] Yeah.
[00:15:08] And I don't know if it's.
[00:15:13] Oh that's stank.
[00:15:14] Sorry.
[00:15:15] Do you have a potato salad?
[00:15:16] No that's the uh.
[00:15:18] Carpage on a wing.
[00:15:19] Sorry.
[00:15:20] Oh my god.
[00:15:22] I don't.
[00:15:23] Fucking vapors.
[00:15:25] Wow.
[00:15:27] I don't know what their plan is.
[00:15:29] Like it's that thing of like I hear people say well it makes sense because you can pick up any running back like they grow on trees.
[00:15:37] I'm like yeah like decent ones do but like he's better than decent.
[00:15:46] You know he's really good.
[00:15:49] Yeah.
[00:15:50] And like if you're going to sit there and say well well you know Jayla Warren he's the better of the two backs.
[00:15:59] I think you're right.
[00:16:00] Like I think he's got more talent but I don't think he's a guy who can carry the ball 25 times again.
[00:16:05] Right.
[00:16:08] You know what I mean like I think he's like a he's your change of pace guy.
[00:16:11] Right.
[00:16:12] Like he's the guy you sent out there he gets 10 the 15 carries.
[00:16:17] And you know nausea gets 20 to 25.
[00:16:20] Right.
[00:16:21] You know and you're like well what's the difference between like you know five or 10 carries once that's a lot of wear and tear on the body.
[00:16:28] Yeah.
[00:16:29] You know there's a reason why most running backs don't play past 30.
[00:16:33] Right.
[00:16:34] You know I know.
[00:16:35] You know but I mean that's what I'm saying like I mean as much as I like Jayla Warren and I'm not taking anything away from him at all.
[00:16:45] He's just not a bell cow.
[00:16:48] He's not the guy.
[00:16:50] Yeah I know.
[00:16:51] You know I mean like for a full season especially like it has to be great about having a change of pace back and I think the Steelers have missed over the years.
[00:17:02] Like they've had like you know a good running back like it had James Connor but they had like nobody else behind them.
[00:17:08] Right.
[00:17:09] You know and so you were lying on corner to be on the field every play.
[00:17:16] I did and they did the same thing with Levy on Bell.
[00:17:20] Like I understand why Levy on Bell decided to hold out that year.
[00:17:24] Unfortunately it cost him his career but I understand because he was getting he was on the he was on the field for 95% of the snow.
[00:17:35] Yeah.
[00:17:36] Because they had nobody they could rely on behind them.
[00:17:39] Right.
[00:17:40] James Connor has the same problem.
[00:17:42] You know he goes to Arizona.
[00:17:44] They have a second back.
[00:17:46] He's still the main guy but he's got somebody relieving him from time to time.
[00:17:50] Yeah.
[00:17:51] And he's selling in Arizona in that system because of it.
[00:17:56] Right.
[00:17:57] So it's that thing of like Naji has benefited from Jaylin and Jaylin has benefited from Naji.
[00:18:03] You know and I just I feel like he's Naji is one of those backs that you kind of have to find a way to keep around because he's worth it.
[00:18:13] Right.
[00:18:14] You know you don't you don't replace him as easily as you think you can in my opinion.
[00:18:22] Like there are top level backs and there's a big gap like that next level back.
[00:18:27] Right.
[00:18:28] You know when you're talking a top level back you're talking you know Christian McCaffrey you're talking Derek Henry and you're talking Naji.
[00:18:38] Right.
[00:18:39] You know and then there's a massive drop off to that next level.
[00:18:43] Yeah.
[00:18:44] And if you're going to replace Naji with something in that drop off you're not going to get the production you think you are.
[00:18:49] All right.
[00:18:50] No matter how good that offensive line is.
[00:18:52] I agree.
[00:18:53] Yeah so I'm sure they'll pick up somebody.
[00:18:59] I wore those sign him.
[00:19:02] That's my hope is that they signed him.
[00:19:04] Yeah.
[00:19:05] You know because otherwise it's like why do we draft them.
[00:19:11] Right.
[00:19:12] And again like my concern is like they're looking at it like well we could probably sign Jaylin Warren for less and we'll just make him the guy.
[00:19:21] He's not the guy.
[00:19:22] No he's not.
[00:19:24] Not my opinion.
[00:19:25] I don't know if I if they go that route I hope he proves me wrong but you know.
[00:19:29] Right.
[00:19:30] So.
[00:19:31] You excited about the draft and everything like that.
[00:19:36] Coming out of it.
[00:19:37] Yeah.
[00:19:38] Yeah.
[00:19:39] You think that center is going to be pretty good.
[00:19:41] Yeah I do.
[00:19:42] I do.
[00:19:43] I think I think I think they set themselves up for success is the real key here.
[00:19:50] Yeah.
[00:19:51] I think they set themselves up like.
[00:19:54] I do.
[00:19:55] I do think like it's one of those deals where.
[00:20:01] Like you.
[00:20:02] Like only in Pittsburgh can you be happy with like drafting.
[00:20:08] Like three offensive linemen.
[00:20:10] Right.
[00:20:11] And a linebacker.
[00:20:12] You know like only people in Pittsburgh would get excited about that but we do.
[00:20:16] And I feel like the big need the big area of need that they need that they have to fill is a wide receiver.
[00:20:28] Right.
[00:20:29] I still feel they need to kind of get somebody across from Pickens.
[00:20:33] You know I the rumor was it was going to be Tyler Boyd but I don't know if he's coming home now.
[00:20:46] Right.
[00:20:47] You know so I mean it's just it's that thing of like well let's hope they figure that out.
[00:20:55] You know.
[00:20:56] So.
[00:20:57] That's like the only thing is kind of.
[00:21:01] A lot of receiver positions.
[00:21:03] Yeah.
[00:21:04] Like a second receiver.
[00:21:05] Like.
[00:21:06] As much as I like Wilson the receiver out of Michigan.
[00:21:12] Like I don't think.
[00:21:16] I don't think he's ready to be that second guy yet.
[00:21:19] I think he eventually will be.
[00:21:21] But I don't think coming out as a rookie.
[00:21:25] He's ready for that.
[00:21:27] Right.
[00:21:28] You know you want to have somebody over there.
[00:21:31] That you feel is a threat.
[00:21:33] Right.
[00:21:34] You know.
[00:21:35] Oh no again.
[00:21:38] The other thing the Steelers have shown.
[00:21:41] A fortitude for.
[00:21:44] Is drafting wide receivers.
[00:21:46] They do draft some wide receivers.
[00:21:48] Right.
[00:21:49] And good ones.
[00:21:52] Yeah.
[00:21:53] I mean here I mean I'd say 70% of them at home are really good.
[00:21:57] Yeah.
[00:21:58] I mean with the well you don't know what kind of scheme we're going to have next year.
[00:22:02] But I mean it's but it is that situation though still like they they haven't very proficient
[00:22:08] at going out and finding.
[00:22:11] Deontay Johnson finding Antonio Brown gets it less.
[00:22:15] Yeah I mean flexing over us.
[00:22:18] Yeah.
[00:22:19] Yeah but hearing was good.
[00:22:21] Right.
[00:22:22] It was a giant he was phenomenal.
[00:22:24] Hines Ward.
[00:22:26] What's his name caught the touch on best.
[00:22:29] Um,
[00:22:30] Centennial homes.
[00:22:31] Centennial homes.
[00:22:32] Yeah.
[00:22:33] I mean the list goes on and on and on with wide receivers.
[00:22:35] Right but I feel like particularly.
[00:22:37] His name slot receiver.
[00:22:39] Randall.
[00:22:40] Yeah but I do feel like in particular.
[00:22:43] Over the past.
[00:22:47] 14 years.
[00:22:49] During the Mike Tomlin era.
[00:22:51] Yeah.
[00:22:52] You know they've done a very good job of finding that late round that middle that
[00:22:57] middle round guy or two.
[00:23:00] Who develop into.
[00:23:03] You know.
[00:23:05] High quality wide receivers.
[00:23:07] Right.
[00:23:08] You know starting with I mean you had you had sent yet home not homes.
[00:23:16] Um.
[00:23:17] Brown and Sanders.
[00:23:19] You know the new money.
[00:23:22] You know and then you let Sanders go to keep Antonio Brown.
[00:23:26] Uh huh.
[00:23:27] Emmanuel Sanders and then you know that he went on to have like a massive
[00:23:32] career.
[00:23:33] You know and.
[00:23:36] It just kind of continued along down the line over these past 15 years
[00:23:41] 14 years where they've done a very good job of just finding those.
[00:23:46] Middle round guys.
[00:23:48] Mm hmm.
[00:23:49] That you turn in the jumps.
[00:23:51] Yeah.
[00:23:52] But the key to some of that has been those middle round guys like that
[00:23:56] first year.
[00:23:59] Like they're fighting like you know with Sanders and Brown.
[00:24:04] You know it was two dogs one bone.
[00:24:06] Yeah.
[00:24:07] You know there because it was like whoever we whoever played the other
[00:24:11] sat like he didn't even dress.
[00:24:13] Yeah.
[00:24:14] So like that was like how like the mentality Mike Tomlin had with
[00:24:17] those guys and competition made them both better and they've
[00:24:20] kind of you know with Johnston it was you know he kind of sat behind
[00:24:25] some guys and you know I mean even like I mean Chase Clay
[00:24:32] brought a phenomenal rookie here and then like it all went to
[00:24:34] his head.
[00:24:35] Yeah.
[00:24:36] And he came you know.
[00:24:37] I thought Chase Clay was going to be the next.
[00:24:39] Yeah.
[00:24:40] Fucking diamond.
[00:24:42] Exactly.
[00:24:43] Yeah.
[00:24:44] So I mean like they do a good job of finding that guy now
[00:24:47] the problem becomes can that guy keep his head on straight.
[00:24:51] And I'm hoping the same thing with Pickens.
[00:24:55] You know so we shall see.
[00:25:02] I think Pickens needs a slice of humble pie.
[00:25:04] I mean I do not to take it away from his confidence.
[00:25:11] I'm just saying that there will be another guy better than
[00:25:15] you but there's also like I understand frustration and
[00:25:24] like some of that frustration came to the fact that he was open
[00:25:29] and Kenny Pickett didn't throw him the ball.
[00:25:32] You know like and so some of what you were seeing some of what
[00:25:37] you were hearing from him was just basic frustration of I'm
[00:25:43] doing my job now you have to do yours and unfortunately
[00:25:47] Kenny Pickett wasn't.
[00:25:49] Right.
[00:25:54] You know and when he did I mean we saw like when he connected
[00:25:57] like I mean Mason Rudolph's first pass was the George Pickett
[00:26:01] and Pickens went like 80 yards for a touchdown.
[00:26:04] Right.
[00:26:05] You know I mean like if you find him he like some of his
[00:26:11] arrogance if you want to put users that way is justified
[00:26:19] because he is that damn good.
[00:26:22] Yeah it's just get me the damn ball.
[00:26:29] Yeah well hopefully we will get him the damn ball.
[00:26:31] Yeah like I feel I feel comfortable with Russell Wilson throwing
[00:26:35] him the damn ball.
[00:26:36] Yeah you know.
[00:26:37] I think we'll get it there.
[00:26:38] Yeah.
[00:26:39] I don't have any it's weird to use them.
[00:26:43] You know in the past couple years I've been so nervous on
[00:26:46] who's throwing the ball and is it going to get there or
[00:26:50] we get it through you know what I mean.
[00:26:52] I have confidence that if Russell Wilson gets into the right
[00:26:55] system he'll get him the ball.
[00:26:58] Well I mean that system is going to be play action pass.
[00:27:01] Yeah.
[00:27:02] And let it let it rip.
[00:27:04] Yeah.
[00:27:05] And that's what Russell Wilson does best.
[00:27:06] Yeah.
[00:27:07] You know.
[00:27:08] I think I think he'll get the ball.
[00:27:09] Yeah.
[00:27:10] I think there's going to be a lot more touchdowns this
[00:27:12] year.
[00:27:13] Oh yeah.
[00:27:14] Than there was last year.
[00:27:15] I mean my hope is just that and this is where he
[00:27:18] Russell Wilson has struggled getting the ball to the
[00:27:21] tight end.
[00:27:22] Get the ball to Fryer move get the ball to Washington
[00:27:26] right you know get the ball to Hayward like you
[00:27:29] we've got three solid tight ends that can once they've
[00:27:34] got the ball in their hand can do some damage and
[00:27:37] I feel like last year like for whatever reason that
[00:27:40] offense has completely forgot about the tight end
[00:27:42] position and I'm hoping like Russell Wilson's
[00:27:45] notoriously not a tight end thrower but I'm hoping
[00:27:49] the system pushes in the throat of the tight end.
[00:27:54] Yeah.
[00:27:56] Because that will take coverage away from like you
[00:28:02] if your tight ends make starts making play they
[00:28:04] can't have the safety out bracketing pickings now
[00:28:08] you've got to move them back in towards the
[00:28:10] middle because the tight ends are killing you
[00:28:13] right you know and now that leaves now
[00:28:16] you've got pickings one on one.
[00:28:18] Yeah well that's what you want.
[00:28:19] Right.
[00:28:20] So that's that's what I'm you know I'm hoping they
[00:28:25] realize that I'm hoping Russell Wilson realizes
[00:28:29] that utilizes his tight end.
[00:28:31] Yeah.
[00:28:32] So yeah there's three good guys there that can
[00:28:36] catch.
[00:28:37] Yeah and can do some damage.
[00:28:38] Oh yeah.
[00:28:39] Yeah but that's what we need is we need middle
[00:28:41] the ball middle the field shit.
[00:28:43] Yeah gain six seven yards you know what I
[00:28:46] mean or more depending on the right let us
[00:28:48] as some of these guys which is good.
[00:28:49] Right.
[00:28:50] But gain those five yards six yards seven
[00:28:53] yards right first down and just fucking
[00:28:57] brady them all the way down the field.
[00:28:59] Yeah until that opens up that until they
[00:29:03] start covering those guys and that opens
[00:29:05] up pickings one on one and then now
[00:29:07] you have pickings one on one.
[00:29:09] Right.
[00:29:10] They'll just kill you right so you
[00:29:13] know I mean I hopefully these receivers
[00:29:16] will come back to Russell Wilson too.
[00:29:18] Do you know what I mean?
[00:29:20] Yeah.
[00:29:21] I hope they recognize just run their routes
[00:29:22] and don't just give up.
[00:29:24] Yeah.
[00:29:25] I mean well I think he's going to be
[00:29:27] scrambling a little bit.
[00:29:29] You know what I mean.
[00:29:30] Right but I do think like I think that
[00:29:35] especially for like pickings it's got
[00:29:39] to be Russell get me the ball.
[00:29:43] You know I've just got to get myself
[00:29:46] even remotely open.
[00:29:48] Right.
[00:29:49] And he can get me the ball.
[00:29:51] And Russ has to like realize and I mean
[00:29:56] but he had a little bit of this in
[00:29:59] like DK Metcalfe but like you've got
[00:30:01] to realize like just put it up there
[00:30:04] George will go get it.
[00:30:06] You know what I mean?
[00:30:07] Right.
[00:30:08] I guess that's the trust they have
[00:30:09] to build between now and game one.
[00:30:11] Right.
[00:30:12] You know.
[00:30:13] So.
[00:30:14] Alright so there's some interesting
[00:30:26] stuff in the news this week.
[00:30:28] I'm going to start with this and apparently
[00:30:32] our old friend the final boss.
[00:30:37] Okay.
[00:30:38] Dwayne The Rock Johnson.
[00:30:39] Maybe a bit of a dick.
[00:30:43] Okay.
[00:30:44] Yeah.
[00:30:45] Now I mean he always seems like
[00:30:48] and again like it's always that thing
[00:30:50] of like you only see the public
[00:30:52] persona you see what they want you to see.
[00:30:54] You know.
[00:30:56] But like to me like one any other star
[00:31:02] like Dwayne Johnson's always seemed like
[00:31:06] a pretty good guy.
[00:31:08] Like you know I mean like he got it
[00:31:13] like you know this is where I came from
[00:31:15] these are the people who have made me
[00:31:16] what I am.
[00:31:18] You know always feel like he's giving back
[00:31:21] always feel like he's doing like you know
[00:31:23] you know I've heard him say like you know
[00:31:25] I don't have a driver I drive myself
[00:31:27] I drive a pickup truck you know because
[00:31:31] I want to stay rooted in reality.
[00:31:33] Yeah.
[00:31:34] You know I've seen him going through
[00:31:35] drive-throughs and taking selfies with
[00:31:36] the people to drive through.
[00:31:38] The Rock.
[00:31:39] The Rock.
[00:31:40] Yeah.
[00:31:41] Well apparently he's making this movie
[00:31:49] called Red One where he did make this
[00:31:51] movie called Red One.
[00:31:52] Okay.
[00:31:53] Described as Hobbes and Shaw meets
[00:31:55] Galaxies meets Miracle 134th Street.
[00:31:57] This is the Rock Christmas movie.
[00:31:59] I know.
[00:32:00] It's got him, Chris Evans and J.K. Simmons
[00:32:05] as Santa Claus.
[00:32:06] That's pretty good cast.
[00:32:08] Right.
[00:32:09] The plot is apparently St. Nick is kidnapped
[00:32:12] from the North Pole and two highly skilled
[00:32:14] professionals must save the holiday season.
[00:32:16] Much of the early reporting on the film
[00:32:18] telling us a political project says
[00:32:20] a business venture more than a cinematic
[00:32:22] experience.
[00:32:23] Amazon's announcement includes this
[00:32:26] humdinger of a line.
[00:32:28] This unique concept represents a property
[00:32:30] that could encompass not only a tentpole
[00:32:33] film but could reach beyond entertainment
[00:32:36] across multiple industries and businesses.
[00:32:40] But apparently, old Dwayne, he seems to
[00:32:46] have, I don't know maybe he's gotten
[00:32:53] to his head.
[00:32:54] But he's apparently showing up late
[00:32:57] several hours late as much as eight hours
[00:33:00] late forcing the director to shoot around
[00:33:03] the missing actor for parts of the film.
[00:33:06] MGM and Amazon denies this.
[00:33:12] They say Dwayne wants it in seven bucks
[00:33:14] have been incredible partners on red one.
[00:33:16] A film that audiences of all ages are going
[00:33:18] to love this holiday season.
[00:33:20] Our testing has been very strong.
[00:33:22] The reaction from cinema cons speaks
[00:33:24] for itself.
[00:33:25] We couldn't have made it without Dwayne's
[00:33:27] constant work and support.
[00:33:29] Any reporting that implies he got to this
[00:33:32] point with him showing up seven, eight
[00:33:35] hours late to set is both ridiculous
[00:33:38] and false.
[00:33:42] But apparently this isn't like the only
[00:33:46] movie has done this on.
[00:33:48] Apparently, you know, he's done it
[00:33:53] with wrestling.
[00:33:54] He did it with the HBO show Ballers
[00:33:56] that he had.
[00:34:00] Rampage and even with the Fast and the
[00:34:03] Furious, which is explain why him and
[00:34:06] then had their beef.
[00:34:09] But also apparently when they did red
[00:34:14] notice on for Netflix,
[00:34:16] Ryan Reynolds got pissed and got in his
[00:34:20] face about it.
[00:34:22] Now, Ryan Reynolds again.
[00:34:26] I get it.
[00:34:27] We only see the public persona.
[00:34:29] We only see what they want us to see.
[00:34:31] But again, see like one of those guys
[00:34:33] that gets it and he's like calling out
[00:34:38] Dwayne Johnson for his unprofessionalism
[00:34:40] of showing up late.
[00:34:42] That's pretty cool.
[00:34:43] Yeah.
[00:34:44] But apparently also during red one
[00:34:50] there were a few instances where
[00:34:53] old Dwayne needed the P and didn't go
[00:34:57] to the public bathrooms.
[00:34:58] He pees in a Voss water bottle
[00:35:00] and his team has to dispose of it.
[00:35:03] Yeah.
[00:35:07] Yeah.
[00:35:10] Good thing was Voss.
[00:35:12] Yeah.
[00:35:13] But I mean like that's one of those things
[00:35:16] like I've been the football games.
[00:35:23] Now, you remember what like the tickets
[00:35:27] I had for pit season.
[00:35:28] My this my pit season tickets that I
[00:35:30] had were directly behind the visitor's
[00:35:32] bench like 50 yard line.
[00:35:35] I was like two rows away from the
[00:35:38] from the field.
[00:35:39] Yeah.
[00:35:40] Like amazing seats.
[00:35:43] And one of the things you would see
[00:35:45] from time to time would be a group
[00:35:49] of players form a circle around somebody
[00:35:52] because they had to take a piss.
[00:35:55] And you see them like you know
[00:35:57] at grab a Gatorade bottle and pee
[00:35:59] in the bottle and like, you know
[00:36:01] that throw a towel over it and throw
[00:36:03] like they tried to be as discreet
[00:36:07] as possible but you knew what was going on.
[00:36:09] Right.
[00:36:10] You know, I mean like it was like one of
[00:36:12] those things where it's like, OK, yeah.
[00:36:14] He peed, you know.
[00:36:16] And I'm not saying that that's a
[00:36:20] justifiable behavior or a movie set
[00:36:23] because I'm not.
[00:36:26] But I mean like that maybe like his
[00:36:28] mentality of like I'm just going to
[00:36:30] pee right here.
[00:36:31] I got a water bottle of PNS here.
[00:36:33] Somebody throws away for me which
[00:36:35] that part of it's nasty.
[00:36:36] Like, feel that shit yourself.
[00:36:39] Right.
[00:36:40] But still again, I'm not excusing
[00:36:43] and I'm just explaining where the
[00:36:45] behavior may come from.
[00:36:46] Right.
[00:36:47] You know.
[00:36:49] But it's shocking to hear because
[00:36:53] it's not something you hear about him.
[00:36:56] Like you always hear like what a great
[00:36:58] guy is and the hard work he puts
[00:37:00] in and he's the biggest
[00:37:03] self promoter I've ever seen.
[00:37:04] It always feels like he's in a
[00:37:06] terrible right.
[00:37:07] You know what I mean?
[00:37:08] And you know, you hear that, you know.
[00:37:12] Yeah, he's a perpetually late all the
[00:37:15] time and when you got to take a leak
[00:37:19] he just does it right there on set in
[00:37:20] the bottle and has an assistant
[00:37:22] throw it away for him.
[00:37:23] Yeah.
[00:37:25] He's like here's grub.
[00:37:26] Yeah.
[00:37:27] Yeah, you know, you're going to
[00:37:28] earn your stripes.
[00:37:29] Here's my piss.
[00:37:30] Yeah.
[00:37:31] Here's my piss.
[00:37:32] Yeah.
[00:37:33] Dispensive please.
[00:37:34] Yeah.
[00:37:35] Like, then was it that one bottle?
[00:37:38] It's like telling you.
[00:37:41] I don't know.
[00:37:43] It's like telling like someone to
[00:37:45] wipe the small bass out of your crack.
[00:37:47] Yeah, it's the same thing.
[00:37:49] Well, I mean, like it's like what the
[00:37:51] fuck like I get like I don't have
[00:38:00] an ego nearly as big as Dwayne
[00:38:01] Johnson's or any Hollywood star.
[00:38:05] But um.
[00:38:07] It is that thing though of like,
[00:38:10] like I don't like getting a massage.
[00:38:13] I got a massage one time.
[00:38:17] It's like one of those free
[00:38:18] massage is like, you know, you went
[00:38:20] to the mall and the guy was like,
[00:38:22] I'll give you a five and a massage.
[00:38:25] You know, like, like the head is
[00:38:27] guy like the chair like you sat
[00:38:29] in the chair and you know, it
[00:38:31] felt great but also it's kind of
[00:38:33] like weirded out by the fact that
[00:38:34] Sony was touching me like that.
[00:38:35] Yeah.
[00:38:37] And especially as a heavier guy,
[00:38:40] like I'm really weirded out by that.
[00:38:42] You know, and I've heard people
[00:38:45] they get those massages
[00:38:47] and the tissue massages.
[00:38:50] Yeah.
[00:38:52] They fucking rex.
[00:38:55] Yeah, like rex.
[00:38:56] Yeah, like their bodies like
[00:38:57] fucking Jill.
[00:38:58] Yeah.
[00:38:59] You know what I mean?
[00:39:00] Oh yeah.
[00:39:01] That deep into right.
[00:39:03] I'm curious about it.
[00:39:06] I mean, I am.
[00:39:07] Yeah.
[00:39:08] Because I'm not talking about, you know,
[00:39:10] the Kyoto health spa.
[00:39:12] No, no.
[00:39:16] Not that type of oriental massage.
[00:39:18] Isn't that?
[00:39:19] Wow.
[00:39:20] That's bad.
[00:39:22] But, but,
[00:39:24] I
[00:39:31] I'm curious about it.
[00:39:32] I'm also curious about acupuncture as well.
[00:39:35] But, but you're also somebody
[00:39:37] who stands on their feet.
[00:39:38] Yes.
[00:39:39] 8 to 10 hours.
[00:39:40] And that's what I'm talking about.
[00:39:41] Yeah, like something like that
[00:39:42] would like wonders for you.
[00:39:43] Yeah, I'm curious about it.
[00:39:44] Right.
[00:39:45] You know what I mean?
[00:39:46] There are genitive aspects of it.
[00:39:47] Yeah.
[00:39:48] And I don't care if it's a girl or a guy.
[00:39:49] I don't get the fuck right.
[00:39:50] So I can give them massage.
[00:39:51] I'm good to go.
[00:39:52] Yeah.
[00:39:53] You know, I'm not looking for
[00:39:54] happy ending or anything like that.
[00:39:55] Right.
[00:39:56] You know what I mean?
[00:39:57] Like I just want to fucking.
[00:39:58] Yeah.
[00:39:59] Tissue massage.
[00:40:00] Right.
[00:40:01] To where they don't make me feel better
[00:40:03] from standing like that.
[00:40:04] Right.
[00:40:05] So, you know, I'm curious about it.
[00:40:09] I'm curious about the acupuncture.
[00:40:11] But I want to get to someone good.
[00:40:15] Yeah.
[00:40:16] I don't want to.
[00:40:17] I don't want somebody to give me
[00:40:18] the fucking death blossom in my neck
[00:40:20] by accident.
[00:40:21] And I start fucking bleeding out.
[00:40:23] You know what I mean?
[00:40:24] Yeah.
[00:40:25] Like I don't want.
[00:40:26] Yeah.
[00:40:27] I don't want that to happen.
[00:40:28] Yeah.
[00:40:29] So.
[00:40:30] One needle and all of a sudden
[00:40:33] you can't feel anything.
[00:40:35] Like oops.
[00:40:36] That's not supposed to go there.
[00:40:38] But that's a funny thing.
[00:40:41] Have you ever heard anybody say like
[00:40:43] you need to go to my doctor.
[00:40:47] They're the worst.
[00:40:49] He's always like, yeah, my guy's the best.
[00:40:51] My guy's the best.
[00:40:54] Right.
[00:40:55] I've never heard somebody like,
[00:40:56] oh, I went to that doctor.
[00:40:59] They were fucking awful.
[00:41:00] You never hear that.
[00:41:02] Not going to that.
[00:41:04] Like, you know, it's everybody's
[00:41:05] always like, oh, they're the best.
[00:41:07] Awesome.
[00:41:08] You talk about like chiropractors and
[00:41:10] masseuses and stuff like that.
[00:41:11] Any of that.
[00:41:12] Yeah.
[00:41:15] Well, I look at that all that stuff
[00:41:17] is like, you know, like ulterior
[00:41:20] forms of medicine.
[00:41:22] Yeah.
[00:41:23] Like holistic medicine.
[00:41:25] Right.
[00:41:26] I think it has its place.
[00:41:27] But I think that you really have
[00:41:29] to thin out the doctors.
[00:41:31] And you have to.
[00:41:33] Because you really don't want
[00:41:35] someone.
[00:41:36] I mean, really.
[00:41:37] Yeah.
[00:41:38] You don't know that you don't know
[00:41:40] or people haven't been to
[00:41:42] or, you know, first year of school.
[00:41:45] You know what I mean?
[00:41:46] Yeah.
[00:41:47] Right.
[00:41:48] You really don't want someone
[00:41:50] manipulating your spine.
[00:41:52] Your spine like that.
[00:41:53] Right.
[00:41:54] I mean, that scares the absolute
[00:41:56] shit out of me.
[00:41:57] Right.
[00:41:58] I mean, you know, because I know.
[00:42:00] Yeah.
[00:42:01] But I need to see if it's masseuse.
[00:42:03] Like, you know, so how long have
[00:42:05] you been at this?
[00:42:06] Oh, this is my first week.
[00:42:07] Oh, I mean, I think that's
[00:42:09] my first week.
[00:42:10] But I don't know.
[00:42:11] I don't know.
[00:42:12] I'm just like, oh, I don't know.
[00:42:14] I'm just like, whoa, you know.
[00:42:16] I'll take the full frontal.
[00:42:18] Yeah.
[00:42:19] Yeah.
[00:42:20] But the.
[00:42:21] Yeah.
[00:42:22] Know, I get that.
[00:42:23] But I think the chiropractor is
[00:42:25] much worse.
[00:42:26] Yeah.
[00:42:27] There's a lot more damage that
[00:42:29] can be done there.
[00:42:30] Right.
[00:42:31] No, I agree.
[00:42:32] Like somebody,
[00:42:33] somebody messing with your spine
[00:42:34] like that.
[00:42:35] I mean, the first thing that a
[00:42:37] chiropractor does right to look
[00:42:39] at the different things.
[00:42:40] Right.
[00:42:41] Yeah.
[00:42:42] Not just going in there and
[00:42:43] saying, oh, you know, I'm going
[00:42:44] to fucking twist your neck like
[00:42:45] fucking the exorcist and see
[00:42:46] what the fuck happens.
[00:42:47] Yeah.
[00:42:48] Yeah, I agree.
[00:42:49] Yeah.
[00:42:50] If you have a herniated disc
[00:42:51] there or you have right
[00:42:52] spinal athesis or you got
[00:42:53] something going on the neck
[00:42:54] and they don't know about it.
[00:42:56] Right.
[00:42:57] They're going to fuck you up
[00:42:58] even worse.
[00:42:59] Yeah.
[00:43:00] And I think that's my fear.
[00:43:01] Yeah.
[00:43:06] That's just my.
[00:43:07] Yeah.
[00:43:08] I went one time.
[00:43:10] I was at a.
[00:43:12] I was at a rib fest and they
[00:43:16] like it was like this chiropractor
[00:43:18] like wore me into their tent.
[00:43:20] Yeah.
[00:43:21] But they took like a like a.
[00:43:23] Like a thing of my spine.
[00:43:27] I don't even know what they did,
[00:43:28] but they were able to like.
[00:43:30] Like run a thing up and down my
[00:43:32] spine and were able to like see
[00:43:33] what it was.
[00:43:34] Yeah.
[00:43:35] And like.
[00:43:36] My only a straight line.
[00:43:38] Okay.
[00:43:39] And I suppose to have like a
[00:43:40] little bit of a curve to it.
[00:43:42] Like he whatever it was,
[00:43:43] I can't remember what it was,
[00:43:44] but whatever it was,
[00:43:45] like he was like.
[00:43:47] There's a real problem here.
[00:43:49] Yeah.
[00:43:50] Yeah.
[00:43:51] Like you need to see somebody
[00:43:52] like almost immediately.
[00:43:54] I'm like,
[00:43:55] like do you ever have this
[00:43:56] or something?
[00:43:57] No.
[00:43:58] I don't have any other
[00:43:59] problems.
[00:44:00] They he recommended me to a.
[00:44:01] I don't know.
[00:44:02] I don't know.
[00:44:03] Like he recommended me to a.
[00:44:05] I was like,
[00:44:06] it was this chiropractor in
[00:44:07] West Mifflin.
[00:44:08] I didn't even go.
[00:44:09] I can't do it.
[00:44:11] Yeah.
[00:44:12] Like it like the alarm in his
[00:44:16] voice when he like looked at
[00:44:18] my spine, I was like.
[00:44:19] It feels fine.
[00:44:21] Right.
[00:44:22] I don't have any problems.
[00:44:24] I got a girl that walks in
[00:44:27] my back in the back of the
[00:44:28] restaurant for me.
[00:44:29] Right.
[00:44:30] Yeah.
[00:44:31] All right.
[00:44:38] So the other big story of
[00:44:41] the day.
[00:44:43] I thought it was a big story.
[00:44:48] A few months ago,
[00:44:49] we were reported
[00:44:50] where it was reported that
[00:44:52] we report on the inside
[00:44:54] information.
[00:44:55] But there was an article I
[00:44:57] found interesting that.
[00:44:59] Paramount
[00:45:00] was apparently up for sale.
[00:45:03] And the Scott Warner Brothers
[00:45:05] Discovery was looking to buy
[00:45:07] them.
[00:45:08] Which didn't make much sense
[00:45:10] to me.
[00:45:11] Discovery had just bought
[00:45:13] Warner Brothers.
[00:45:14] They just merged Discovery Plus
[00:45:16] and HBO Max into one
[00:45:19] app.
[00:45:21] Like acquiring another major
[00:45:23] studio.
[00:45:24] Right.
[00:45:25] Okay.
[00:45:26] With another streaming service
[00:45:27] made very little sense to me.
[00:45:28] Okay.
[00:45:29] Well, apparently Warner Brothers
[00:45:31] Discovery figured it out and they
[00:45:32] backed out.
[00:45:34] But apparently
[00:45:36] Sony is coming in
[00:45:38] hard
[00:45:39] with a $26 billion
[00:45:42] cash offer.
[00:45:46] Yeah.
[00:45:48] Now, this makes a ton more
[00:45:50] sense because Sony does not
[00:45:52] have a streaming service.
[00:45:54] Right.
[00:45:55] They have stars,
[00:45:57] but they don't have a true
[00:45:58] streaming service.
[00:46:00] So as far as the
[00:46:04] acquisition of Paramount,
[00:46:07] I mean you get their library,
[00:46:09] you get their IP.
[00:46:12] But I think what's also
[00:46:14] important though is you get
[00:46:17] that streaming service and now
[00:46:19] you have a
[00:46:21] place to facilitate
[00:46:24] your movies.
[00:46:25] Right.
[00:46:26] And
[00:46:31] the thing that I don't know
[00:46:33] is like
[00:46:34] how much is Paramount
[00:46:38] of how much of Paramount is being sold?
[00:46:40] Because Paramount,
[00:46:42] that's also CBS.
[00:46:43] Right.
[00:46:44] That's also Showtime.
[00:46:48] Like
[00:46:50] will Paramount still be the home for
[00:46:52] CBS's streaming?
[00:46:57] Their TV shows?
[00:46:58] Right.
[00:47:00] The same thing with Showtime?
[00:47:04] Because one of the advantages
[00:47:06] you have is with that
[00:47:08] you get NFL football.
[00:47:11] You get
[00:47:16] the NCAA basketball tournament.
[00:47:18] You get CBS Sports,
[00:47:20] essentially,
[00:47:22] with Paramount Plus.
[00:47:24] So
[00:47:29] that is a, to me,
[00:47:32] that's a massive key to that streaming
[00:47:34] service because everybody's looking to get into
[00:47:37] live events.
[00:47:39] Right.
[00:47:40] Netflix signs to deal with the WWE.
[00:47:42] Tonight
[00:47:44] as we're recording, there's a cat,
[00:47:46] William special
[00:47:47] that's going live.
[00:47:49] Tomorrow,
[00:47:50] live, the roast of Tom Brady.
[00:47:53] Like, you know, Netflix is fighting
[00:47:56] very hard to get into
[00:47:58] live events.
[00:47:59] Yeah.
[00:48:01] Amazon has a deal with the NFL
[00:48:05] and they've apparently reached an agreement with the NBA.
[00:48:09] So they're working very hard
[00:48:12] to get into live events.
[00:48:14] Okay.
[00:48:16] Peacock, I last year,
[00:48:17] not only did they have the WWE Network where they show
[00:48:20] the WWE's premium live events
[00:48:23] and everything else that comes with that,
[00:48:26] but they also have the NFL.
[00:48:28] Last year they had the
[00:48:31] Peacock exclusive playoff
[00:48:33] game.
[00:48:34] Right.
[00:48:35] The Chiefs and the Dolphins
[00:48:37] that did a big number for them.
[00:48:39] It got them like 30 million people subscribed.
[00:48:43] Right.
[00:48:44] And they retained 80% of the subscribers.
[00:48:47] Okay.
[00:48:48] Which is a huge right.
[00:48:50] So that's a big deal.
[00:48:51] So like, you know,
[00:48:53] this is the same thing with Discovery Discovery has
[00:48:57] TNT so they have NBA basketball
[00:49:00] and have NHL hockey
[00:49:02] and they have a portion of the NCAA basketball
[00:49:04] tournament as well.
[00:49:06] So like these are things that like
[00:49:09] key components to what these streaming services are.
[00:49:14] Even Apple has major league baseball.
[00:49:17] Right.
[00:49:18] You know, so like this,
[00:49:20] these are key components to what these streaming services
[00:49:22] are trying to get into because
[00:49:24] more than anything,
[00:49:28] live sports
[00:49:30] is still the biggest
[00:49:34] pusher of a rating.
[00:49:36] Right.
[00:49:38] Like it honestly is.
[00:49:40] It's something that
[00:49:42] you can't replicate.
[00:49:44] Like
[00:49:47] you can't replicate that at all.
[00:49:49] Like you can't go like put
[00:49:52] like, okay, well here's that NFL game from yesterday.
[00:49:55] Like
[00:49:57] even the NFL network does that.
[00:49:58] Like they'll replay games
[00:50:00] all off season.
[00:50:01] Right.
[00:50:02] I don't watch that shit.
[00:50:03] Right.
[00:50:04] You know, maybe,
[00:50:05] like sometimes if it's like a replay of a game
[00:50:07] that has like,
[00:50:09] and they've done this where it's like,
[00:50:11] you know, one of the NFL's greatest games,
[00:50:13] they've got like the former players and coaches
[00:50:15] talking about it
[00:50:17] throughout.
[00:50:18] Like I'll watch something like that because that's interesting.
[00:50:20] But if you're just showing me a replay of a game,
[00:50:23] like I'm not going to tune in for that.
[00:50:26] Right.
[00:50:27] Right.
[00:50:28] You know what I mean?
[00:50:29] Like I'm not that desperate for football,
[00:50:32] but
[00:50:33] so like it is something that like
[00:50:35] it is a major aspect of that.
[00:50:37] And so if Sony is going to buy
[00:50:39] Paramount and get an obtained Paramount Plus,
[00:50:43] how much are they getting?
[00:50:45] Because if they're going to lose
[00:50:48] the live sports aspect of it,
[00:50:50] right, I feel it devalues
[00:50:53] the service.
[00:50:54] Right.
[00:50:55] Yeah, I agree.
[00:50:56] You know what I mean?
[00:50:57] Like it honestly does.
[00:51:01] Also,
[00:51:02] the thing I did here,
[00:51:04] this is something for you.
[00:51:06] Yeah.
[00:51:07] You can subscribe to Sportsnet Pittsburgh
[00:51:10] as a streaming service now.
[00:51:11] Get the fuck out.
[00:51:12] 1799.
[00:51:14] I can't.
[00:51:15] I can't remember.
[00:51:16] Don't quote me, but that you can watch Penguin Games now.
[00:51:18] You can get it as a streaming service.
[00:51:23] How are you?
[00:51:24] Jesus be.
[00:51:27] Yeah.
[00:51:29] So,
[00:51:30] but like that right there,
[00:51:31] there's a prime example
[00:51:33] that that absolutely entices you
[00:51:35] because you want to watch hockey games.
[00:51:36] Oh, I know.
[00:51:39] That's the one thing that sucks about streaming.
[00:51:40] I mean,
[00:51:41] what are we doing now?
[00:51:42] Right.
[00:51:43] Cutting the cord prevents you from getting like
[00:51:45] that stuff.
[00:51:47] But yeah, I mean, so apparently,
[00:51:49] you know, you can subscribe to Sportsnet Pittsburgh
[00:51:51] and you can.
[00:51:53] You'll be able to watch regular season hockey now.
[00:51:56] That's the best move they could ever made.
[00:51:58] Yeah, because you can't get the NHL network
[00:52:00] because it blacks out your games.
[00:52:02] Right.
[00:52:04] It does.
[00:52:05] Yeah, like even if you wanted to watch it on something else,
[00:52:07] it still blacks out the games.
[00:52:09] Yeah.
[00:52:10] It's completely unfair.
[00:52:12] Yeah, like those any like the NHL center ice package
[00:52:16] is for out of market games
[00:52:19] because you're supposed to be able to watch your in market
[00:52:21] game.
[00:52:22] Well, if you don't,
[00:52:23] if you've cut the cord,
[00:52:24] you have no way of seeing that.
[00:52:25] It makes no sense.
[00:52:26] But yeah, so that that.
[00:52:27] So again, like right there, like the.
[00:52:30] The aspect of having access to a lot to live penguin games
[00:52:37] is enticing.
[00:52:38] I think we're all in the pony up.
[00:52:40] Yeah, 10 to $20 right a month because that's how much it
[00:52:44] means to you.
[00:52:45] Yeah, yeah.
[00:52:46] You know what I mean?
[00:52:47] Like I mean, that's so.
[00:52:50] I'm intrigued to see like if this deal goes down.
[00:52:53] What is Sony getting?
[00:52:57] Yeah, because if they're just buying the studio and the
[00:53:01] IP, yeah, like.
[00:53:05] They're working on a deal with the CBS aspect of it to keep
[00:53:08] that.
[00:53:09] Yeah.
[00:53:11] I can see where you wouldn't be interested in showtime.
[00:53:15] But like CBS to me would be important because of the
[00:53:18] live sports aspect of it.
[00:53:20] And if you're losing that.
[00:53:22] You know, you're losing a lot to me, right?
[00:53:26] Because now I guess somebody who has cut the quarter,
[00:53:31] you know, I guess you use YouTube TV, which gives you
[00:53:38] like your local CBS affiliate because you can't.
[00:53:43] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:53:44] Because you fox you can see.
[00:53:46] I can see football.
[00:53:47] Yeah, yeah.
[00:53:48] Yeah.
[00:53:50] Like I've watched it using the Paramount Plus Network.
[00:53:53] Streaming service.
[00:53:54] Right, right.
[00:53:55] So yeah.
[00:53:59] So I think that's that's interesting.
[00:54:03] I think it's a I think it would be a big plus obviously
[00:54:08] for Sony to be able to have that streaming service with, you
[00:54:11] know, because that is the thing that sucks is like unless
[00:54:16] you subscribe to stars, like you don't get to see those
[00:54:19] movies very often on like.
[00:54:22] I know they've released some stuff like with Netflix.
[00:54:25] They've signed a deal with Netflix to get some of their
[00:54:28] stuff now and again.
[00:54:30] Right.
[00:54:31] And I know that they have a deal with Disney Plus for
[00:54:34] the Marvel stuff.
[00:54:36] Like with the Spider-Man movies.
[00:54:39] But it has to be like.
[00:54:42] Five years after the release date before it becomes available
[00:54:46] on Disney Plus.
[00:54:48] So I think like no way home Spider-Man No Way Home is not
[00:54:55] available on Disney Plus yet, but I think the other two.
[00:55:00] Marvel Sony collaborations are right and then all the.
[00:55:07] Garfield McGuire movies are.
[00:55:09] Yeah.
[00:55:10] Did you see where they were releasing amazing?
[00:55:14] I saw that they were doing something when we were releasing
[00:55:17] them each in the theater again for like a weekend.
[00:55:20] Yeah.
[00:55:24] So there's somebody said they went and they saw Spider-Man
[00:55:26] two in a theater.
[00:55:27] Like.
[00:55:29] The Doc Ock one.
[00:55:31] Yeah, like I was like I wish I had seen that I would
[00:55:33] have gone.
[00:55:34] Yeah, I wonder.
[00:55:36] Yeah, I wonder if they're going to get Mr.
[00:55:37] Moody.
[00:55:39] I don't think so.
[00:55:40] Like I just can't see.
[00:55:47] Like the only way that makes sense is if you're trying to
[00:55:50] build like again, you know, he's doing that.
[00:55:53] The only way it makes sense is if you're trying to
[00:55:55] build your Spider-Verse.
[00:55:57] Yeah, I mean it's flopping so bad.
[00:56:01] What?
[00:56:02] The Spider-Verse.
[00:56:05] Yeah.
[00:56:06] I mean Madame Webb did nothing.
[00:56:07] Yeah.
[00:56:08] You know, I mean, you're the only person I know
[00:56:11] that's excited for Crave and the Hunter.
[00:56:13] Actually, it didn't look good to me.
[00:56:17] Right.
[00:56:19] And you know, more BS.
[00:56:20] I don't the only thing that's done anything that's
[00:56:23] even remotely halfway decent has been the two
[00:56:25] Venom movies.
[00:56:28] You know, right?
[00:56:30] So it just it like yeah, I mean you could bring
[00:56:33] an Andrew Garfield and you could build your
[00:56:35] Spider-Verse around him, I guess.
[00:56:38] But at this point, like.
[00:56:44] I don't know, it's worth it.
[00:56:50] Are you saying that because you don't like Garfield
[00:56:52] as fucking Spider-Man?
[00:56:54] No, I'm not.
[00:56:56] I mean, not at all.
[00:56:57] It's just.
[00:56:58] Dude, I thought he was amazing in the last time.
[00:57:01] So I honestly thought that was a very that
[00:57:05] redeemed his version of Spider-Man.
[00:57:09] In my eyes, like honestly, I did like I have
[00:57:12] no qualms with how Andrew Garfield was
[00:57:14] in that movie.
[00:57:16] It was almost cry worthy.
[00:57:18] It was, yeah.
[00:57:20] It was on all honestly, like I mean it was.
[00:57:23] I really loved how each Spider-Man had their own
[00:57:26] identity.
[00:57:28] Yeah.
[00:57:29] That was very good.
[00:57:31] Writing and directing right.
[00:57:33] Yeah.
[00:57:34] It was.
[00:57:36] It was one of the best parts of that movie.
[00:57:38] Yeah.
[00:57:39] Well, they're all in the lab.
[00:57:40] They're answering their own thing.
[00:57:42] Right.
[00:57:43] And I think that even then you see their different
[00:57:45] personalities coming through.
[00:57:46] Right.
[00:57:47] And I feel like half of that was because of Marvel.
[00:57:54] Yeah, yeah.
[00:57:55] Like honestly, like, I mean, I know I've
[00:57:58] I've shit on Sony.
[00:58:01] But they've deserved it.
[00:58:03] You know what I mean?
[00:58:05] Especially like this pseudo Spider-Verse
[00:58:09] are trying to build.
[00:58:10] Right.
[00:58:12] So.
[00:58:14] It's it hasn't been good for the most part.
[00:58:22] And like, I feel like, you know, there's a mate,
[00:58:25] the amazing Spider-Man movies.
[00:58:26] I'm not as big a fan of his you.
[00:58:28] Right.
[00:58:29] No, I didn't like Garfield in those two movies
[00:58:31] that much.
[00:58:32] I.
[00:58:33] But I thought like he read like the character
[00:58:35] was much better written in no way home.
[00:58:39] And I feel that's because Kevin Feige is involved.
[00:58:42] And it's not a Sony production.
[00:58:44] It's a Marvel production and they knew how to fix the character.
[00:58:47] Yeah, you know, and if you could get that influence then
[00:58:51] which Sony doesn't want with that Spider-Verse is there.
[00:58:54] They don't want Marvel getting their hands in it.
[00:58:59] Then I'm afraid that Andrew Garfield Spider-Man takes
[00:59:03] a step back instead of another step forward.
[00:59:06] Right.
[00:59:07] But that's me.
[00:59:08] You like the way he was written in those two movies.
[00:59:12] I do.
[00:59:13] But like my hope would be like he would build upon
[00:59:15] way he was presented in in no way home.
[00:59:18] Okay, I get that.
[00:59:19] You know what I mean?
[00:59:20] So it the funny thing is, it's like,
[00:59:29] sometime this month, Madam Webb is going to be on Netflix.
[00:59:35] I think.
[00:59:36] And I'll be honest.
[00:59:38] I can't wait to watch it just to see how bad it is.
[00:59:47] I have to judge it when I watch it.
[00:59:54] Right.
[00:59:55] But the trailers even look bad to me.
[00:59:57] Like you, you were like, I wasn't that bad.
[00:59:59] I was kind of intrigued by like to me they looked fucking awful.
[01:00:03] Right.
[01:00:04] Like I said, I have to watch it.
[01:00:06] Right.
[01:00:07] And it's tough to judge a movie by a trailer,
[01:00:09] but at the same time, like it a movie trailer job is
[01:00:14] to get me excited about the movie and those didn't.
[01:00:19] Okay.
[01:00:20] You know what I mean?
[01:00:21] Like they did the exact opposite.
[01:00:22] They turned me off to the movie.
[01:00:24] Okay.
[01:00:25] And like the only movie that's ever done that,
[01:00:29] it was actually a really good movie with Star Trek beyond.
[01:00:32] Okay.
[01:00:33] Like I don't know who cut those trailers,
[01:00:36] but like and I hate to say this,
[01:00:39] I hope they are unemployed.
[01:00:40] I hope they have found another job calling in life
[01:00:44] because those those trailers were cut awful.
[01:00:47] Like I was, I had very low expectations for that movie
[01:00:52] based off the trailers.
[01:00:54] And then when I saw it, I was like,
[01:00:57] this is much, much, much better than my expectations.
[01:01:01] Right.
[01:01:02] I was shocked at how good that movie was.
[01:01:04] Yeah.
[01:01:05] You know, but the trailer is let I was just like,
[01:01:07] Oh, this is going to be fucking awful.
[01:01:09] So hopefully not on web is the same thing.
[01:01:14] And whoever cut those trailers should be, you know,
[01:01:18] looking for another line of work.
[01:01:20] But I have something tells me I'm not off on that one.
[01:01:24] I'm intrigued by it.
[01:01:28] Well,
[01:01:32] let's have to see it.
[01:01:33] Yeah, I agree.
[01:01:34] If it entertains me, I'm good.
[01:01:36] Yeah, I like to entertain you.
[01:01:42] You know, it did entertain me.
[01:01:44] What?
[01:01:46] There was a far as a series and I'm not going to go into it.
[01:01:48] And we've been down the whole and everything like that.
[01:01:52] But
[01:01:54] I think that I was just thinking of like series and stuff like that
[01:01:57] and movies and whatever.
[01:01:59] But Hawkeye was a really good series.
[01:02:02] It was very good.
[01:02:04] Yeah, I mean, like,
[01:02:07] like I had the fact that it was short and sweet.
[01:02:09] Yeah, it was like, this is it.
[01:02:12] Like I had high expectations for and exceeded those expectations.
[01:02:15] And it was like a story.
[01:02:17] Yeah.
[01:02:18] And like I got into it.
[01:02:20] Yeah.
[01:02:21] I loved it and it was short.
[01:02:23] It didn't go on for years.
[01:02:25] Yeah, you know what I mean?
[01:02:28] I need more of that.
[01:02:29] I agree.
[01:02:30] I think to be quite honest,
[01:02:32] I think it was the best out of those series that they put out
[01:02:36] for me.
[01:02:37] I grittier to me.
[01:02:42] There was no like above selling points that they're trying to throw at you.
[01:02:46] Right.
[01:02:47] Just a guy in New York trying to get his fucking suit and sword.
[01:02:50] Yeah.
[01:02:51] You know what I mean?
[01:02:52] Yeah, I like this girl on the way, which is pretty amazing.
[01:02:55] Yeah.
[01:02:56] Like he loves.
[01:02:57] Yeah, I mean, he does.
[01:02:58] Yeah.
[01:02:59] You know, and just it's a really, I thought it was really good.
[01:03:02] Oh yeah.
[01:03:03] But like that and like, I mean, I like Loki because Loki was
[01:03:10] Loki was crazy.
[01:03:13] Like that was that was like really well done.
[01:03:15] It was.
[01:03:16] But what I'm saying is it didn't have the world on its shoulders.
[01:03:18] Yeah.
[01:03:19] No, I mean, I mean,
[01:03:20] I mean, I mean,
[01:03:21] I mean, I mean,
[01:03:23] I think that's the Spider-Man aspect coming out of me.
[01:03:25] Right.
[01:03:26] That I like that ground.
[01:03:27] Yeah, very grounded.
[01:03:28] Yes.
[01:03:29] Very.
[01:03:30] Yeah, it wasn't.
[01:03:31] You know what I mean?
[01:03:32] There wasn't there wasn't weight on the there wasn't the weight
[01:03:34] of the world on your shoulders.
[01:03:35] Right.
[01:03:36] And that movie, right?
[01:03:37] It was just it just kept going.
[01:03:38] Yeah.
[01:03:39] Like it just it flowed nicely.
[01:03:40] Yeah.
[01:03:41] I think I think that was the best one that they made.
[01:03:43] I think coming in a close second is,
[01:03:45] um,
[01:03:46] I think it was the best one that they made.
[01:03:48] I think it was the best one that they made.
[01:03:50] I think coming in a close second is,
[01:03:52] um,
[01:03:54] talking to the Winter Soldier.
[01:03:55] Yeah.
[01:03:56] I mean, I get that.
[01:03:57] Yeah.
[01:03:58] But I enjoyed,
[01:03:59] I enjoyed,
[01:04:00] I probably enjoyed Hawkeye more too,
[01:04:01] but I really like that show as well.
[01:04:03] Yeah.
[01:04:06] Yeah.
[01:04:07] All right.
[01:04:08] So based upon
[01:04:14] last week,
[01:04:15] I feel compelled to read some of Superfan Thad's email
[01:04:19] as a retort.
[01:04:22] All right.
[01:04:23] Thad writes,
[01:04:24] and Sean on the podcast,
[01:04:25] you said Kenny would ask for a coaster that was not done before
[01:04:28] and they got it.
[01:04:29] That's the definition of a prototype.
[01:04:31] Something has not been done before.
[01:04:33] You just acknowledge your own statement there.
[01:04:38] Your argument is more with Tim than it is with me
[01:04:42] on that one.
[01:04:43] Either way,
[01:04:45] they're both at fault.
[01:04:51] Sean, you were wrong again.
[01:04:52] There are safety measures in place for the Jackrabbit.
[01:04:55] All their coasters have been upgraded over the years.
[01:04:58] Okay.
[01:04:59] I'll take your word for it.
[01:05:00] That control board still looks like it's from 1922,
[01:05:02] but,
[01:05:03] you know,
[01:05:05] yeah,
[01:05:06] I mean,
[01:05:08] I guess they're driven by steam.
[01:05:10] You know,
[01:05:16] Kenny would have a ton of shade throughout the park.
[01:05:19] Cedar Point has none.
[01:05:21] We discussed that.
[01:05:22] Well, yeah, I agree with you.
[01:05:23] Cedar Point has none,
[01:05:25] but like all the shade and Kennywood is in like one real area.
[01:05:31] And everywhere else you go in that park,
[01:05:33] it is a blazing mess.
[01:05:35] Yeah, old Kennywood's.
[01:05:36] Yeah.
[01:05:37] Planet Tree, man.
[01:05:39] Save a life.
[01:05:40] Yeah.
[01:05:42] You are correct.
[01:05:43] I would never ride a Carnival ride put together by some hippie.
[01:05:46] Well, hippies aren't the ones putting those Carnival rides together.
[01:05:49] Metheds are.
[01:05:51] Wow.
[01:05:52] Yeah.
[01:05:53] I would trust a hippie more than I would have method.
[01:05:56] All right.
[01:05:57] Sean, you are on the same page.
[01:06:00] We are on the same page.
[01:06:01] My defense of Kennywood is like your defense of Kenny Pickett.
[01:06:05] I shake my head and laugh.
[01:06:07] Well, no, here's the difference.
[01:06:09] Here's the difference.
[01:06:10] Let me hear it.
[01:06:11] I freely acknowledge that Kenny Pickett failed as the quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
[01:06:17] Do I think if given an opportunity in the Arthur Smith system,
[01:06:21] he may have evolved and gotten better?
[01:06:24] Yes.
[01:06:26] He was not given that opportunity.
[01:06:29] Right.
[01:06:30] If you really think about it, Matt Canada was his offensive coordinator for all but six quarters.
[01:06:36] Right.
[01:06:37] You know, so no, I would have liked to have seen Kenny Pickett given a chance,
[01:06:42] but I also freely admit he failed.
[01:06:45] Right.
[01:06:46] Like I get it.
[01:06:48] I understand why everything has happened.
[01:06:50] My biggest complaint though is the acquisition of Justin Fields.
[01:06:56] Right.
[01:06:57] That's the one I'm puzzled by and hope he's not our quarterback of the future.
[01:07:01] Beyond that, I get why he was traded.
[01:07:06] I understand the viewpoints.
[01:07:11] I agree with many of them.
[01:07:12] I do think he could have developed if given an opportunity, but he wasn't.
[01:07:17] And that's where we're at.
[01:07:19] Everything makes sense to me except for that one thing.
[01:07:21] Right.
[01:07:22] The acquisition of Justin Fields.
[01:07:23] Okay.
[01:07:24] So no, I'm not shilling for Kenny Pickett.
[01:07:29] I'm disappointed that Kenny Pickett didn't work out.
[01:07:35] He asked me to come as is on his buddy pass.
[01:07:38] No, I'm not doing that.
[01:07:40] I'm not doing that.
[01:07:41] So there you go.
[01:07:44] Those were the thoughts of superfan Thad after we called him a corporate shell for
[01:07:50] basically having his review of Kenny would written by an executive there.
[01:07:55] Right.
[01:07:56] I hope he was paid well for his services.
[01:08:03] That's great.
[01:08:05] Is there anything like add to the proceedings there, sir?
[01:08:07] No, man.
