[00:00:23] And welcome to episode 597 of the Pittsburgh Nerd Podcast. I'm Sean.
[00:00:29] I'm Ian, and this is the only podcast that says...
[00:00:32] The Lord, the Lord Jehovah has given upon you these 15, 10 commandments for all to obey.
[00:00:45] Nice.
[00:00:46] Yeah.
[00:00:48] History of the World Part 1 for all to enjoy.
[00:00:52] How are you, sir?
[00:00:53] I'm good.
[00:00:54] Yeah.
[00:00:54] Yeah.
[00:00:55] Hanging in there.
[00:00:58] Cracking it.
[00:00:59] Cracking it open.
[00:01:00] It's a Red Bull, folks.
[00:01:01] It's a Red Bull.
[00:01:04] Don't hide your children.
[00:01:09] Well, more importantly, I don't want...
[00:01:12] I have a reputation up hold of being a child.
[00:01:15] Right.
[00:01:15] You know, because I drink Red Bull Gatorade and milk.
[00:01:19] Yeah.
[00:01:20] You know.
[00:01:23] Like I'm drinking juicy juice.
[00:01:25] Right.
[00:01:26] You know.
[00:01:29] But, yeah.
[00:01:30] I've been told many times I'm a child for my drinking habits.
[00:01:36] All right.
[00:01:37] Well, well.
[00:01:38] Whatever.
[00:01:39] Yeah.
[00:01:39] Works for me.
[00:01:41] Ugh.
[00:01:46] So those who are wondering, Oliver Mack and Sylvester, they're back in the...
[00:01:52] They'll be back tonight in their home after...
[00:01:58] Oliver made such an impact last week on the show.
[00:02:01] Yes, he did.
[00:02:02] He did.
[00:02:03] The moose that he is.
[00:02:05] He is a moose.
[00:02:06] He is.
[00:02:08] Ugh.
[00:02:10] So, you been watching anything?
[00:02:13] No.
[00:02:14] I haven't.
[00:02:16] I've actually watched a few things.
[00:02:18] I'm going to save the best for last, though.
[00:02:21] I finally remembered and started watching Dune Prophecy.
[00:02:26] Okay.
[00:02:28] I mean, if you like Dune, you're going to like this.
[00:02:31] Yeah.
[00:02:31] You know what I mean?
[00:02:32] Like, and it's not...
[00:02:34] Because this takes place 10,000 years before Paul Atreides.
[00:02:39] Okay.
[00:02:40] Okay.
[00:02:40] This is basically the founding of the Bene Gesewits and the creation of the prophecy of what Paul is going to be.
[00:02:50] Okay.
[00:02:50] So, this is like the beginning of all of that.
[00:02:53] And it's interesting.
[00:02:55] Like, I'm enjoying it for what it is.
[00:02:57] Mm-hmm.
[00:02:59] I'm only two episodes in.
[00:03:01] I think it's only two, maybe three episodes available.
[00:03:04] Right.
[00:03:07] But it...
[00:03:08] I like it because I like this stuff.
[00:03:11] I like this universe.
[00:03:13] So, expanding this universe to me is kind of exciting.
[00:03:15] Yeah.
[00:03:17] But, like, if you're not a fan of Dune, like, if you watched the new Dune Part 1 and Part 2 and it wasn't for you...
[00:03:25] Yeah.
[00:03:26] ...then don't even think about trying this.
[00:03:29] I see.
[00:03:29] Yeah.
[00:03:31] Um, I watched that.
[00:03:35] The first two episodes of Star Wars Skeleton Crew.
[00:03:39] How is that?
[00:03:39] It's Goonies in space.
[00:03:41] Is it?
[00:03:42] Honestly, I mean, that's painting with too broad of a paintbrush.
[00:03:47] I mean, it's...
[00:03:48] But it is...
[00:03:52] Probably a better...
[00:03:54] Would be, like, it's Amblin in space.
[00:03:56] Okay.
[00:03:56] You know, like...
[00:03:57] I mean, these kids, they find a spaceship.
[00:04:00] The one kid has delusions of, like, someday I'm going to be a Jedi.
[00:04:04] Mm-hmm.
[00:04:05] You know?
[00:04:05] And, like, this world that they live on is, like, very structured.
[00:04:10] Okay.
[00:04:11] And it's like, you know, you take a test to determine what you're going to be for the rest of your life.
[00:04:16] I see.
[00:04:16] You know, it...
[00:04:17] And, like, even, like, the...
[00:04:20] The roads, like, the...
[00:04:23] You don't drive.
[00:04:25] It's, like, on a rail.
[00:04:28] Okay.
[00:04:28] Like, so, like, even your own personal car is on a rail, so there's no accidents.
[00:04:33] You know, it's this very, very tightly structured world, and this one kid, you can tell, just doesn't belong in it.
[00:04:41] Yeah.
[00:04:41] And, you know, they end up finding what he thinks is a hidden Jedi temple, but it turns out it's this spaceship.
[00:04:49] Yeah.
[00:04:50] And, of course, he hits the wrong button, and it takes off, and...
[00:04:56] Yeah, yeah.
[00:04:56] You know?
[00:04:57] And, you know, from there, it's, like, the story of, like, them trying to get back home.
[00:05:02] Okay.
[00:05:02] You know, because they're lost in space at this point.
[00:05:05] Right.
[00:05:05] And the world that they're from, they mention a name, and people are like, no, really, where are you from?
[00:05:12] Because, apparently, the world that they're from is some mythological paradise that, you know, nobody's ever found.
[00:05:20] Okay.
[00:05:21] So, you know, like I said, you can see how this is, and it's all pirates, and, I mean, it's...
[00:05:27] But here's the thing with it, that I'll tell you and I'll tell anybody else.
[00:05:32] It's fun.
[00:05:34] Okay.
[00:05:34] Like, that's what it is.
[00:05:35] It's fun.
[00:05:36] Yeah.
[00:05:37] Like, and I think that's, like, the thing we forget sometimes is, like, as great as Andor is, and Andor is a very serious, very hard-boiled, like, look at, into, like, the...
[00:05:50] What the dark side, quote-unquote, of Star Wars is.
[00:05:54] Right.
[00:05:54] Like, you know, how is the Rebellion formed?
[00:05:56] Like, what is the muddy side of the Rebellion like?
[00:06:00] Like, and we see that a little bit in Rogue One, where we know he's an assassin, and they all talk about the sins that they've committed to get to that point.
[00:06:10] Right.
[00:06:10] But they want to be better than that.
[00:06:13] And, you know, so Andor's a very serious...
[00:06:17] There's no fun in Andor.
[00:06:19] Right.
[00:06:19] You know, where this is just, it's fun.
[00:06:21] You know, like, and you need both.
[00:06:24] Yeah.
[00:06:25] You know, like, that's the thing I love about it.
[00:06:28] It's like, yeah, this is a good time.
[00:06:30] Yeah.
[00:06:30] So, I have really enjoyed that.
[00:06:33] Oh, good.
[00:06:33] Yeah.
[00:06:35] And then, the next thing I watched was Creature Commandos.
[00:06:40] Creature Commandos.
[00:06:41] It's on Max, and it is James Gunn's first entry into the DCU.
[00:06:48] Okay.
[00:06:53] It's basically, it's Suicide Squad, but the government has told Argus that,
[00:07:00] you can't use humans.
[00:07:02] Okay.
[00:07:03] Like, you can't use human prisoners the way for Task Force X.
[00:07:07] Yeah.
[00:07:08] So, they find, they've got these non-human prisoners that they're now using for missions like this.
[00:07:20] Okay.
[00:07:20] And, you know, Dr. Phosphorus and, like, Frankenstein's Bride and, you know, somebody who's like a, you know,
[00:07:29] like a fish person, like, what's his name from Hellboy?
[00:07:33] Yeah.
[00:07:34] Like, this is all stuff that was taken from, like, the 50s and 60s.
[00:07:40] Like, James Gunn, like, took a deep dive into, like, okay, I'm going to take all of these little pieces,
[00:07:45] and I'm going to create this as my first bridge from kind of, like, the Suicide Squad and Peacemaker into what now is the DC universe.
[00:08:00] Right.
[00:08:01] So, it's interesting.
[00:08:05] Yeah.
[00:08:05] You know, like, I mean, like, they mention certain things that take place, like, and James Gunn said, like, if it gets mentioned, then it's canon.
[00:08:16] Okay.
[00:08:17] So, like, they kind of acknowledge, like, in Peacemaker that Amanda Waller's daughter outs Task Force X.
[00:08:28] Yeah.
[00:08:28] Outs Argus.
[00:08:30] They acknowledge that it's Rick Flagg Sr., General Flagg, is in charge of Task Force M.
[00:08:41] But they acknowledge that, you know, Rick Flagg died at, you know, Corto Maltese.
[00:08:49] Okay.
[00:08:49] In the Starro incident.
[00:08:51] Yeah, yeah.
[00:08:51] You know, so, like, there's stuff that they're acknowledging that they're kind of saying this and this and, you know, weasels in it.
[00:08:58] So, of course, they acknowledge his, you know, he was the only survivor of Corto Maltese.
[00:09:04] Yeah.
[00:09:04] Like, stuff like that.
[00:09:05] So, it's an interesting, like, how he's kind of, like, picking.
[00:09:14] Like, okay, this is going to be canon, this is going to be canon, this is going to be canon.
[00:09:18] And then we're creating, from there, the new.
[00:09:22] Yeah, yeah.
[00:09:23] You know.
[00:09:26] So.
[00:09:27] Was it good?
[00:09:28] I enjoyed it.
[00:09:29] Yeah.
[00:09:31] Like, it's a little raunchy.
[00:09:32] It's a little F-wordy.
[00:09:36] But, you know, I still dug it.
[00:09:38] Yeah, yeah.
[00:09:38] You know what I mean?
[00:09:39] Like, you know, but I dig stuff like that.
[00:09:41] So, you know, like, that doesn't, like, put me off, especially, like, with a comic book show or movie.
[00:09:47] Yeah.
[00:09:49] I'm more interested in, like, how it goes along to seeing, like, what exactly they're going to keep as canon and what the new canon is going to be.
[00:09:59] Okay.
[00:10:00] Like, what are they going to be introducing?
[00:10:01] Because, like, one of the things that James Gunn did talk about is the people who he chose as voice actors for this animated series are also meant to, at some point, possibly portray them in real life.
[00:10:15] Okay.
[00:10:17] I'm like, okay, that's interesting then.
[00:10:19] So now you're looking at the voice actors trying to imagine them as the characters.
[00:10:22] Yeah, yeah.
[00:10:22] You know?
[00:10:23] So, I mean, a lot of it, like, Phosphorus, man, is just a glowing skeleton that, you know, burns at the, you know, the temperature of phosphorus.
[00:10:35] Okay.
[00:10:36] So, like, and that's Alan Tudyk, but, you know, that's just going to be CGI.
[00:10:41] Yeah.
[00:10:42] You know, same with Weasel, same with GI Robot, you know.
[00:10:45] Yeah.
[00:10:45] Yeah.
[00:10:46] But both Weasel and GI Robot are voiced by Sean Gunn.
[00:10:51] Okay.
[00:10:52] You know, and Weasel, Sean Gunn played, like, did the motion capture for Weasel in the Suicide Squad.
[00:11:02] Yeah.
[00:11:04] So, it's interesting.
[00:11:05] Like, I'm just, I'm more just going to see where it goes than how it's begun.
[00:11:09] Okay.
[00:11:09] Because I want to see, like, okay, at the end of this, how does this lead to Superman?
[00:11:17] Like, how does this lead to whatever's next?
[00:11:20] Yeah.
[00:11:21] You know, so, that's kind of where my head is with that.
[00:11:23] Okay.
[00:11:25] Sounds interesting.
[00:11:26] It is.
[00:11:27] I mean, it is interesting, right?
[00:11:28] And the first two episodes were good.
[00:11:30] I enjoyed them.
[00:11:31] Had a couple of belly laughs.
[00:11:34] Yeah.
[00:11:34] You know, but, like, it's just, it is that thing of, like, you know, okay, I'm more looking forward.
[00:11:40] To what's next with it.
[00:11:42] Okay.
[00:11:43] For whatever reason.
[00:11:45] Nice.
[00:11:46] And the last thing I saw, I went to go see this last night.
[00:11:50] Okay.
[00:11:50] And I went to a movie theater to see this.
[00:11:53] Wow.
[00:11:53] It's a movie called Flow.
[00:11:56] Okay.
[00:11:56] And I can't describe, I'm going to pause this, I'm going to show you the trailer, and then we're going to discuss as a whole.
[00:12:04] All right.
[00:12:04] So, I've just shown you the trailer for this movie.
[00:12:07] I am going to tell you right now.
[00:12:10] And I say this in no uncertain terms.
[00:12:13] This was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life.
[00:12:18] Really?
[00:12:20] Really.
[00:12:20] Like, there's no, and from the, you pick up on it from, like, the trailer, there is no dialogue in this movie.
[00:12:29] Right.
[00:12:29] At all.
[00:12:29] Now, there's a small suspension of disbelief you have to have because, like, they figure out how the, like, the boat works.
[00:12:36] Right.
[00:12:36] Like, these animals.
[00:12:37] And this is the thing.
[00:12:38] Let me give the background here.
[00:12:39] So, for those who don't, haven't seen the trailer yet.
[00:12:43] Basically, it's a story of this cat.
[00:12:47] And there's a flood.
[00:12:49] The world is flooded.
[00:12:50] You never see humans.
[00:12:52] Like, even before the flood kind of hits the cat, it's kind of showing his life.
[00:12:57] And there's this house that obviously somebody lived in at some, like, recently.
[00:13:03] The cat goes up, lays on the bed.
[00:13:06] And when he gets up, the floodwaters are higher.
[00:13:10] Like, you know, there's a whole thing going on there.
[00:13:13] But essentially, like, the flood gets so high, he ends up on this statue.
[00:13:24] And finally, he, like, gets on this, he finds his boat adrift.
[00:13:27] And it's with this chupacabra.
[00:13:29] You know, and they end up somehow, like, picking up a dog.
[00:13:37] And then the boat runs a, they find some high ground.
[00:13:40] And the boat runs ashore.
[00:13:41] And this, I think it was an osprey.
[00:13:44] Yeah.
[00:13:46] Like, they, but they're, it's like the boat ended up representing, like, a paradise.
[00:13:52] And this lemur, this dog, the chupacabra, the bird and the cat.
[00:13:58] I think chupacabra is the right word.
[00:13:59] Maybe not.
[00:14:00] Chupacabra is a Mexican blood-sucking beast that kills sheep.
[00:14:06] Yeah, no.
[00:14:07] It was something close to that, though.
[00:14:09] It was, um.
[00:14:11] I looked up, I'm like, what is that thing?
[00:14:13] Because it's not a dog.
[00:14:15] Uh, Flo.
[00:14:25] That doesn't say.
[00:14:26] But it's a thing.
[00:14:29] Chop a cobra or something.
[00:14:31] I don't know.
[00:14:31] But anyway.
[00:14:32] Like, so these animals learn to live in harmony on this boat.
[00:14:36] Like, the cat ends up learning how to swim and fish.
[00:14:40] And he's providing for everybody.
[00:14:44] Okay.
[00:14:44] You know, like.
[00:14:45] And they have this, like, this little society.
[00:14:47] And then the society breaks down and things.
[00:14:51] Like, it.
[00:14:53] But it is done so beautifully.
[00:14:58] Okay.
[00:14:59] As an, like.
[00:15:00] As an animated movie.
[00:15:02] And then.
[00:15:05] Like, I will tell.
[00:15:07] I will tell you at the end of it.
[00:15:09] I had to.
[00:15:09] I sat there watching the credits for a couple of minutes.
[00:15:12] Because I couldn't get up.
[00:15:14] I was that stunned by what I had seen.
[00:15:17] Huh.
[00:15:17] And then.
[00:15:20] Like, you get to the car.
[00:15:21] Like, I'm letting the car warm up for a couple minutes.
[00:15:23] And I'm still.
[00:15:23] Like, it was just.
[00:15:24] It was on my mind.
[00:15:25] Like, it was like.
[00:15:26] This was so beautiful.
[00:15:31] It's the only word I can use to describe it.
[00:15:32] Like, I.
[00:15:33] I know I've thrown a word around.
[00:15:35] Word around masterpiece a lot.
[00:15:36] And I get ridiculed for it.
[00:15:38] So I don't want to use that word.
[00:15:39] Because I don't want to be ridiculed for this.
[00:15:41] Because it.
[00:15:44] But it was just that good to me.
[00:15:47] Right.
[00:15:47] Like, I.
[00:15:50] I wouldn't recommend it to you.
[00:15:52] I would.
[00:15:53] I don't know if I'd recommend it to anybody.
[00:15:57] But.
[00:16:00] I was so moved by it.
[00:16:02] As a piece of art.
[00:16:04] Okay.
[00:16:04] Which.
[00:16:07] Almost never happens to me.
[00:16:09] Yeah.
[00:16:09] Like, I get.
[00:16:10] I get moved by things.
[00:16:12] Like, I.
[00:16:13] You know.
[00:16:13] You sally up.
[00:16:14] Yeah.
[00:16:14] You know.
[00:16:15] We've talked about that for years.
[00:16:16] Those.
[00:16:16] Those sally up moments.
[00:16:18] And.
[00:16:18] Like.
[00:16:24] The emotions that were stirred within me.
[00:16:27] Okay.
[00:16:28] The only way I can describe them.
[00:16:31] Were.
[00:16:32] It.
[00:16:33] I felt the same way I felt.
[00:16:35] At the end of the.
[00:16:39] The Van Gogh episode of Doctor Who.
[00:16:41] Like.
[00:16:43] You know what I mean?
[00:16:44] Like.
[00:16:47] It.
[00:16:47] Because that.
[00:16:48] That moment.
[00:16:49] At the end of that.
[00:16:50] When he takes.
[00:16:51] Van Gogh to go see.
[00:16:52] Van Gogh.
[00:16:53] Van Gogh.
[00:16:54] They call him Van Gogh.
[00:16:55] We call him Van Gogh.
[00:16:57] I'm trying to be Britishly correct.
[00:16:59] But.
[00:16:59] We'll go with Van Gogh.
[00:17:00] Okay.
[00:17:00] When you see.
[00:17:01] When.
[00:17:02] When.
[00:17:02] The doctor takes Van Gogh.
[00:17:04] To overhear that guy talk about.
[00:17:06] How important of an artist he really was.
[00:17:08] Yeah.
[00:17:09] So that.
[00:17:09] He could know that.
[00:17:11] And hopefully.
[00:17:12] It was one of those few times ever.
[00:17:14] The doctor is trying to change.
[00:17:16] A major event in history.
[00:17:18] Right.
[00:17:18] He's trying to save Van Gogh.
[00:17:20] Yeah.
[00:17:21] And he can't.
[00:17:23] Right.
[00:17:23] He's still going to.
[00:17:25] You know.
[00:17:26] Commit suicide.
[00:17:27] Right.
[00:17:27] He's still going to.
[00:17:28] The insanity is going to get to him no matter what.
[00:17:31] Right.
[00:17:32] But.
[00:17:34] You know.
[00:17:36] The sunflower painting had for Amy on it.
[00:17:39] Right.
[00:17:39] You know.
[00:17:39] That little change.
[00:17:41] You know.
[00:17:42] But it was still like.
[00:17:44] Like that moment where.
[00:17:45] He's realizing what he means to the world.
[00:17:48] Like.
[00:17:48] That.
[00:17:48] That to me is artistry.
[00:17:50] Like.
[00:17:50] That was so well done.
[00:17:51] And that.
[00:17:52] It.
[00:17:53] It.
[00:17:53] It.
[00:17:54] It touches you in a different way.
[00:17:56] And.
[00:17:57] Don't distort that at all.
[00:17:58] That.
[00:17:59] It.
[00:18:00] And this is the same thing this movie did.
[00:18:01] It.
[00:18:02] It.
[00:18:02] It touched me.
[00:18:04] Like.
[00:18:04] I wanted to see it.
[00:18:05] Based upon the trailer.
[00:18:06] I wanted to see it.
[00:18:06] Because I thought it would be very fascinating.
[00:18:09] Yeah.
[00:18:09] Like this.
[00:18:10] How do you tell the story?
[00:18:11] How do you do this?
[00:18:12] How do you do that?
[00:18:13] And it did it.
[00:18:15] Brilliantly.
[00:18:15] And it does it in a way that.
[00:18:17] It.
[00:18:18] Honestly left like this.
[00:18:22] Imprint on me.
[00:18:23] For.
[00:18:23] Like.
[00:18:23] I still don't know if I can describe it.
[00:18:24] Like.
[00:18:24] It.
[00:18:25] I was really.
[00:18:26] Really moved and touched by this.
[00:18:29] And.
[00:18:29] And like.
[00:18:30] I'm not somebody.
[00:18:31] Who normally is.
[00:18:33] To call it.
[00:18:34] Like.
[00:18:34] I mean.
[00:18:35] To me.
[00:18:36] It was a piece of art.
[00:18:37] Yeah.
[00:18:38] That's cool.
[00:18:40] And I.
[00:18:41] Again.
[00:18:41] This isn't something I normally go see.
[00:18:43] This isn't something I would pay.
[00:18:44] Normally pay money to go see.
[00:18:45] But like.
[00:18:46] Even watching the trailer.
[00:18:47] I was just like.
[00:18:48] This looks so beautiful.
[00:18:50] Right.
[00:18:50] Like.
[00:18:51] I have to experience this.
[00:18:52] Yeah.
[00:18:53] And I want to experience it on a big screen.
[00:18:54] I want to see it.
[00:18:56] Yeah.
[00:18:56] You know.
[00:18:57] And.
[00:18:57] Seeing it on a big screen.
[00:18:59] And.
[00:19:02] It was.
[00:19:03] You know.
[00:19:04] For a movie that has absolutely no dialogue.
[00:19:09] Like.
[00:19:09] Right.
[00:19:10] I.
[00:19:11] You know.
[00:19:11] I was just having these moments of like.
[00:19:13] Oh.
[00:19:14] Poor kitty.
[00:19:15] Yeah.
[00:19:16] You know.
[00:19:17] Like.
[00:19:17] There's a moment where like.
[00:19:18] You look.
[00:19:18] You look.
[00:19:19] And it's like.
[00:19:20] He's given up.
[00:19:21] Yeah.
[00:19:21] You know.
[00:19:22] Everything's gone to hell.
[00:19:24] And.
[00:19:24] This poor kitty is just like.
[00:19:27] I've lost it all.
[00:19:29] Yeah.
[00:19:29] And he's just.
[00:19:30] You know.
[00:19:30] And then something happens to save him.
[00:19:32] And you're just like.
[00:19:33] Oh.
[00:19:34] You know.
[00:19:34] Like.
[00:19:35] Yeah.
[00:19:35] Because you don't.
[00:19:36] It.
[00:19:36] It become that movie where I'm like.
[00:19:38] Fuck.
[00:19:38] I'm going to kill this cat.
[00:19:40] I honestly felt like.
[00:19:41] Fuck.
[00:19:41] I'm going to weaten this cat.
[00:19:43] You know.
[00:19:44] And.
[00:19:44] It didn't.
[00:19:45] Like.
[00:19:52] It was beautiful.
[00:19:54] And it.
[00:19:54] It touched my soul in a way that I.
[00:19:56] I can't describe.
[00:19:58] And I'm.
[00:20:00] Like.
[00:20:02] Extraordinarily happy that I saw it.
[00:20:04] Yeah.
[00:20:05] I don't know if I would recommend it to you.
[00:20:07] I don't know if I'd recommend it to the audience.
[00:20:09] Watch the trailer and make your own decision.
[00:20:12] Yeah.
[00:20:12] You know.
[00:20:12] Because if it.
[00:20:13] If you're intrigued by it.
[00:20:14] Then go see it.
[00:20:15] But to me.
[00:20:17] It was an experience that I'll never forget.
[00:20:19] Because it was just that good.
[00:20:21] Huh.
[00:20:23] Interesting.
[00:20:24] I thought so.
[00:20:25] Like.
[00:20:26] I couldn't wait to talk about this.
[00:20:27] Because it was like.
[00:20:28] It's.
[00:20:29] It.
[00:20:30] Because this doesn't happen to me.
[00:20:32] Yeah.
[00:20:32] Like.
[00:20:32] You know what I mean?
[00:20:33] Like.
[00:20:33] I don't get.
[00:20:34] This.
[00:20:36] I know.
[00:20:36] You know.
[00:20:37] So.
[00:20:38] Like.
[00:20:38] To have it happen to me.
[00:20:40] Like.
[00:20:40] It was.
[00:20:44] It was.
[00:20:44] I was very happy it happened to me.
[00:20:46] Like.
[00:20:46] I was like.
[00:20:46] I'm very.
[00:20:47] If.
[00:20:47] If the lead was a.
[00:20:49] Fucking duck.
[00:20:52] And then not a cat.
[00:20:53] Would you have went to see it?
[00:20:55] Probably not.
[00:20:55] Yeah.
[00:20:57] I will admit.
[00:20:57] Like.
[00:20:57] The cat was the hook.
[00:20:59] Yeah.
[00:20:59] Like.
[00:21:00] Wholeheartedly.
[00:21:00] I will.
[00:21:01] Like.
[00:21:03] In the trailer.
[00:21:04] There's that wonderful scene.
[00:21:04] Where like.
[00:21:06] He's laying on his back.
[00:21:08] And his eyes are real big.
[00:21:09] And then they go real small.
[00:21:10] And it's because he's looking at the dog.
[00:21:11] The dog's also laying on his back.
[00:21:14] In that scene.
[00:21:16] The lemur was in like a.
[00:21:19] Like above him.
[00:21:21] And the lemur's tail was hanging down.
[00:21:24] And.
[00:21:24] The cat started playing with the lemur's tail.
[00:21:26] Uh.
[00:21:27] And the lemur got pissed at him.
[00:21:28] So he's like.
[00:21:28] But he was like all playful.
[00:21:29] Like he was like.
[00:21:30] And he's laying on his back.
[00:21:31] He's got the.
[00:21:32] Like the big eyes.
[00:21:33] Like you have one of.
[00:21:34] A playful cat.
[00:21:35] Yeah.
[00:21:36] You know.
[00:21:36] It was.
[00:21:38] Very well done.
[00:21:38] Like.
[00:21:40] But no.
[00:21:41] Like if.
[00:21:41] If the lead was a dog.
[00:21:42] Or a duck.
[00:21:43] Or something else.
[00:21:43] I probably would not have been.
[00:21:47] As enamored as I was with it.
[00:21:49] Right.
[00:21:50] But.
[00:21:51] The cat was the hook.
[00:21:53] Yes.
[00:21:53] You're absolutely correct.
[00:21:54] Okay.
[00:21:55] I'm just asking.
[00:21:55] No.
[00:21:56] I had no problem admitting that.
[00:21:57] Like I.
[00:21:58] To say anything else.
[00:22:00] Would be a lie.
[00:22:01] Like.
[00:22:01] You know what I mean.
[00:22:02] Like.
[00:22:03] Because I.
[00:22:04] And.
[00:22:04] I do.
[00:22:05] I love cats that much.
[00:22:06] Yeah.
[00:22:07] Like you know.
[00:22:07] I like dogs.
[00:22:09] I like other animals.
[00:22:11] Like I've taken care of two dogs.
[00:22:12] For three weeks.
[00:22:13] Yeah.
[00:22:14] The thing I learned is.
[00:22:16] You know.
[00:22:16] Visiting dogs is great.
[00:22:18] Because I get to leave them behind.
[00:22:19] When I'm done.
[00:22:20] Yeah.
[00:22:20] You know.
[00:22:21] Taking care of a dog.
[00:22:23] That's too much for me.
[00:22:25] You know what I mean.
[00:22:26] Like it is.
[00:22:26] It is.
[00:22:27] But.
[00:22:28] There's also something about like.
[00:22:32] I'll tell you this.
[00:22:34] Yesterday before work.
[00:22:37] I'm up in my bedroom.
[00:22:39] And I was.
[00:22:40] I was watching a video.
[00:22:42] Ease the seat back.
[00:22:44] Yeah.
[00:22:45] Yeah.
[00:22:45] Not that type of video.
[00:22:46] I was watching a.
[00:22:47] A car video.
[00:22:49] And.
[00:22:49] But.
[00:22:51] I'm just kind of.
[00:22:52] Yeah.
[00:22:52] Between my legs.
[00:22:56] Easier David Lee.
[00:22:59] But.
[00:23:00] Sylvester.
[00:23:01] Jumped on my chest.
[00:23:04] And he laid down on me.
[00:23:05] Now Sylvester is a tuxedo cat.
[00:23:07] Right.
[00:23:09] My dear departed.
[00:23:10] Drist was a tuxedo cat.
[00:23:12] And I loved.
[00:23:13] Drist.
[00:23:16] And.
[00:23:18] Having Sylvester lay on my chest.
[00:23:19] Like Drist used to do.
[00:23:22] Made me emotional.
[00:23:24] Yeah.
[00:23:25] Because it was kind of like.
[00:23:27] I got one more visit from Drist.
[00:23:28] But it really wasn't dressed.
[00:23:30] Yeah.
[00:23:30] You know what I mean.
[00:23:30] Like.
[00:23:31] Just for like a brief second.
[00:23:33] I was like.
[00:23:35] It was three years ago.
[00:23:36] Yeah.
[00:23:36] You know.
[00:23:37] But.
[00:23:39] So.
[00:23:40] I like.
[00:23:42] That.
[00:23:43] But that's what cats do for me.
[00:23:45] Like.
[00:23:45] You know.
[00:23:45] And I.
[00:23:46] And I was saying like.
[00:23:47] You know.
[00:23:47] If you have a dog.
[00:23:48] Like fuck you or anything.
[00:23:49] I understand.
[00:23:50] Like there's a huge difference.
[00:23:52] And you know.
[00:23:52] Fuck you and your dog.
[00:23:53] Fuck you and your dog.
[00:23:54] Like.
[00:23:55] I understand like.
[00:23:55] There's dog people.
[00:23:57] And there's cat people.
[00:23:57] And I like dogs.
[00:23:59] Like.
[00:24:01] I like Oliver lives here.
[00:24:03] Great dog.
[00:24:04] Yeah.
[00:24:04] Fun dog.
[00:24:05] Once he's kind of like.
[00:24:06] Oh.
[00:24:06] Okay.
[00:24:06] Yeah.
[00:24:06] I remember you now.
[00:24:07] Yeah.
[00:24:08] Like usually he's like.
[00:24:09] He sees me.
[00:24:09] He's like.
[00:24:11] Do I.
[00:24:13] Turn on me.
[00:24:14] Get your ass.
[00:24:15] Oh.
[00:24:16] Yeah.
[00:24:16] Sean.
[00:24:16] I remember you.
[00:24:20] Rogue.
[00:24:21] Right.
[00:24:22] You know.
[00:24:23] I love Rogue.
[00:24:24] Yeah.
[00:24:24] I loved Remy.
[00:24:26] Yeah.
[00:24:27] You know.
[00:24:28] My parents.
[00:24:28] Two dogs.
[00:24:31] They're good dogs.
[00:24:32] Yeah.
[00:24:32] But.
[00:24:34] Like.
[00:24:34] I like dogs.
[00:24:36] I just don't want to take care of a dog.
[00:24:38] Because it's.
[00:24:38] Because there's a lot of responsibility.
[00:24:40] But also.
[00:24:41] I feel like.
[00:24:42] If you can win over a cat.
[00:24:45] Like.
[00:24:45] Like if a cat embraces you.
[00:24:47] Yeah.
[00:24:48] You've done something special.
[00:24:51] Because cats.
[00:24:54] Have that attitude of.
[00:24:56] I don't need you.
[00:24:58] Right.
[00:24:59] So.
[00:24:59] If you can win over a cat.
[00:25:01] And that cat loves you.
[00:25:02] Like.
[00:25:03] Dritz did.
[00:25:03] Or like Ahsoka did.
[00:25:05] Or like Sabine does with Maynau.
[00:25:08] Or even like Darby.
[00:25:09] When he.
[00:25:10] When he's around.
[00:25:11] If you can get that.
[00:25:13] That embrace from a cat.
[00:25:14] Like a cat.
[00:25:16] To take you.
[00:25:17] As.
[00:25:18] Quote unquote.
[00:25:18] Part of their pack.
[00:25:19] Yeah.
[00:25:20] And love you.
[00:25:21] I feel like.
[00:25:23] That's much more special.
[00:25:24] Where I.
[00:25:25] Where I feel like a dog.
[00:25:31] They're loyal.
[00:25:32] Because they're loyal.
[00:25:33] Yeah.
[00:25:33] You know what I mean?
[00:25:34] Like.
[00:25:35] I'm not saying that love isn't real.
[00:25:37] I mean.
[00:25:37] You could certainly have a real love with a dog.
[00:25:40] And again.
[00:25:40] That.
[00:25:41] Don't.
[00:25:41] Don't be distorting this shit.
[00:25:43] You know what I mean?
[00:25:44] I.
[00:25:44] I.
[00:25:44] I do.
[00:25:45] But like it's.
[00:25:46] I also feel like.
[00:25:47] Like.
[00:25:48] Like.
[00:25:48] Like.
[00:25:48] With a dog.
[00:25:52] Like.
[00:25:53] There's that analogy of.
[00:25:54] If.
[00:25:54] If you kick a dog.
[00:25:56] They're going to come back to you.
[00:25:58] If you kick a cat.
[00:25:59] They'll leave.
[00:26:01] You know what I mean?
[00:26:02] Like.
[00:26:02] That's.
[00:26:03] That's the analogy.
[00:26:04] And I.
[00:26:05] That's an awful analogy.
[00:26:06] And I don't like using it.
[00:26:07] But it's kind of the truth in a little bit.
[00:26:09] Like.
[00:26:09] A dog will come back to you.
[00:26:11] Where a cat won't.
[00:26:13] Right.
[00:26:14] You know.
[00:26:14] So once you get a cat to embrace you.
[00:26:16] And love you.
[00:26:17] I feel like.
[00:26:17] That's much more special than it is with a dog.
[00:26:20] Right.
[00:26:21] Not that I'm putting down what dog people have.
[00:26:23] With their.
[00:26:23] Their pet.
[00:26:25] Just.
[00:26:25] That's how I feel.
[00:26:26] Right.
[00:26:27] You know what I mean?
[00:26:28] So.
[00:26:31] And other.
[00:26:32] Other.
[00:26:32] Like.
[00:26:32] Other pets.
[00:26:33] Like.
[00:26:49] My heart for cats.
[00:26:50] Like.
[00:26:51] You know.
[00:26:52] Yeah.
[00:26:52] No.
[00:26:52] I get it.
[00:26:55] There hasn't been too many movies made about a cat.
[00:26:59] Not where it paints like the cat is.
[00:27:01] Like.
[00:27:03] Like.
[00:27:03] This movie.
[00:27:04] The cat is your point of view.
[00:27:07] Right.
[00:27:07] He's your.
[00:27:08] Like.
[00:27:08] You're seeing the world through his eyes.
[00:27:11] In a lot of ways.
[00:27:12] And.
[00:27:15] Like.
[00:27:15] Even like the acceptance of the dog.
[00:27:18] And like.
[00:27:20] The cat goes fishing.
[00:27:21] And he's.
[00:27:22] He's catching these fish.
[00:27:23] In the water.
[00:27:24] And he's.
[00:27:25] Bringing them back up in the boat.
[00:27:26] He's got this pile of fish.
[00:27:28] And.
[00:27:29] The dog is kind of looking at him.
[00:27:32] And the cat's like.
[00:27:35] Thinking about it for a second.
[00:27:37] And then he's like.
[00:27:38] Okay.
[00:27:38] Yeah.
[00:27:38] You're my friend.
[00:27:39] And he gives him a fish.
[00:27:40] And then he takes the fish over to the.
[00:27:43] To the.
[00:27:44] The osprey.
[00:27:45] Yeah.
[00:27:46] Because.
[00:27:47] The osprey.
[00:27:48] Has saved him.
[00:27:48] I'm not getting all that.
[00:27:49] But like.
[00:27:51] Almost immediately then.
[00:27:53] There's a moment where like.
[00:27:54] These other dogs.
[00:27:55] Are like stranded.
[00:27:57] Like this bell tower.
[00:27:59] And.
[00:28:00] They can.
[00:28:01] Like they go.
[00:28:02] And they rescue these dogs.
[00:28:05] And these dogs represent.
[00:28:07] Greed.
[00:28:08] And the fall of.
[00:28:10] This nirvana.
[00:28:11] Yeah.
[00:28:12] Because the first thing they do.
[00:28:13] Is they immediately eat all the fish.
[00:28:14] And they're knocking shit over.
[00:28:15] And they don't care about anybody else.
[00:28:17] But themselves.
[00:28:18] Right.
[00:28:19] Where.
[00:28:19] These animals.
[00:28:20] That all kind of.
[00:28:21] Over a couple of days.
[00:28:22] Had built.
[00:28:24] A society.
[00:28:25] These dogs came in.
[00:28:27] And erected.
[00:28:27] Okay.
[00:28:28] And that was the beginning of the end.
[00:28:29] And the osprey knew it.
[00:28:31] Okay.
[00:28:32] Because the osprey.
[00:28:32] Wasn't going to go save them.
[00:28:34] The other animals convinced them.
[00:28:35] It's going to save those dogs.
[00:28:36] And those dogs came on board.
[00:28:37] And immediately wrecked everything.
[00:28:39] Yeah.
[00:28:39] Yeah.
[00:28:39] So.
[00:28:40] Like.
[00:28:43] And it's through the cat's eye.
[00:28:44] That the cat.
[00:28:45] It was even like.
[00:28:46] You know.
[00:28:46] Maybe we should.
[00:28:47] You know.
[00:28:48] It's the right thing to do.
[00:28:49] You know.
[00:28:49] It's like.
[00:28:50] Fuck it.
[00:28:50] I don't care.
[00:28:52] And.
[00:28:53] They move.
[00:28:54] Move the boat over.
[00:28:54] They jump on board.
[00:28:55] And immediately.
[00:28:56] All hell breaks loose.
[00:28:56] And the osprey leaves.
[00:28:58] Oh really?
[00:28:59] Yeah.
[00:28:59] But.
[00:29:00] Yeah.
[00:29:00] So like.
[00:29:01] It was like.
[00:29:03] Interesting.
[00:29:03] Like.
[00:29:06] Paradise was lost.
[00:29:07] Right.
[00:29:08] Like at the end.
[00:29:09] Like the cat.
[00:29:11] Got knocked off the boat.
[00:29:12] And like that moment.
[00:29:14] Like.
[00:29:15] I think they're going to.
[00:29:16] Wheaten him.
[00:29:17] Like.
[00:29:17] They're going to kill the cat off.
[00:29:19] Yeah.
[00:29:20] Like.
[00:29:20] The boat.
[00:29:22] Drifted away.
[00:29:24] He's hanging on this.
[00:29:25] Like.
[00:29:26] Rope covered.
[00:29:29] Um.
[00:29:30] Like.
[00:29:31] Bauble.
[00:29:32] Uh huh.
[00:29:33] And he just kind of like.
[00:29:35] Realizes like.
[00:29:35] I'm.
[00:29:36] I'm done.
[00:29:37] There's nothing.
[00:29:37] And he drops his head.
[00:29:38] And you're just like.
[00:29:40] Like.
[00:29:40] I.
[00:29:40] I.
[00:29:41] I started to sally up a little bit.
[00:29:43] You know.
[00:29:43] Because I thought.
[00:29:44] Yeah.
[00:29:44] So.
[00:29:44] I mean like.
[00:29:45] It.
[00:29:46] It was like.
[00:29:48] It's extraordinarily well done.
[00:29:49] I'm.
[00:29:50] I'm.
[00:29:50] The Osprey comes back and gets.
[00:29:51] No.
[00:29:52] No.
[00:29:54] No.
[00:29:54] There was a weird moment.
[00:29:55] That I don't quite understand.
[00:29:56] Where I think the Osprey went to heaven.
[00:29:59] Okay.
[00:30:00] Well.
[00:30:01] Like.
[00:30:03] Very weirdly.
[00:30:05] I think.
[00:30:06] I think this was drawn.
[00:30:08] To represent like.
[00:30:10] Asia.
[00:30:12] Okay.
[00:30:13] Okay.
[00:30:13] Because.
[00:30:14] Like.
[00:30:15] For.
[00:30:15] Like.
[00:30:16] There's like.
[00:30:16] These like.
[00:30:17] Bell towers.
[00:30:18] That look like something you would see in like.
[00:30:20] India.
[00:30:21] Okay.
[00:30:22] Um.
[00:30:22] And these large.
[00:30:24] Spire.
[00:30:25] Like.
[00:30:25] Mountainous spires.
[00:30:26] Okay.
[00:30:27] And.
[00:30:28] It.
[00:30:36] It.
[00:30:36] And I get.
[00:30:38] The.
[00:30:38] The.
[00:30:39] Was from.
[00:30:40] Latvia.
[00:30:41] Okay.
[00:30:41] But.
[00:30:43] So.
[00:30:44] The.
[00:30:45] The.
[00:30:45] Osprey.
[00:30:46] The entire time.
[00:30:47] Is navigating towards these spires.
[00:30:50] Okay.
[00:30:52] And.
[00:30:52] When he leaves.
[00:30:54] And.
[00:30:54] The weather is becoming havoc.
[00:30:56] And.
[00:30:57] The dogs are wreaking havoc.
[00:30:58] And when he leaves.
[00:31:00] He heads for the spire.
[00:31:02] And a wave.
[00:31:03] Comes up.
[00:31:04] And knocks the cat off the boat.
[00:31:05] Okay.
[00:31:06] And the cat swims.
[00:31:08] To the spire.
[00:31:09] Climbs all the way up to the top.
[00:31:11] And there's the osprey.
[00:31:14] And he walks over to the osprey.
[00:31:16] Like.
[00:31:18] You're my friend.
[00:31:20] Are you okay?
[00:31:21] Uh.
[00:31:21] And all of a sudden.
[00:31:22] These bubbles appear.
[00:31:24] And.
[00:31:24] There's these lights in the sky.
[00:31:26] And.
[00:31:27] The cat.
[00:31:28] And the osprey.
[00:31:29] Get lifted up.
[00:31:31] But the osprey.
[00:31:32] Continues going up.
[00:31:33] Like.
[00:31:33] And disappears into the.
[00:31:35] To the light.
[00:31:36] The cat falls.
[00:31:37] Comes down.
[00:31:38] Yeah.
[00:31:38] And then the cat realizes.
[00:31:39] Okay.
[00:31:40] Something.
[00:31:40] He's gone to heaven.
[00:31:41] Or some shit.
[00:31:42] I'm not quite sure.
[00:31:42] What happened to him.
[00:31:44] And he.
[00:31:44] Tries to hurry up.
[00:31:45] And get back to the boat.
[00:31:46] And that's when the boat's too far.
[00:31:47] Okay.
[00:31:48] So.
[00:31:51] That's how it ends?
[00:31:52] No.
[00:31:53] Well.
[00:31:54] It.
[00:31:54] It ends like.
[00:31:55] The cat drops his head.
[00:31:57] And you start to think like.
[00:31:59] They're going to kill this fucking cat off.
[00:32:00] Yeah.
[00:32:01] Okay.
[00:32:02] And then all of a sudden the waters recede.
[00:32:04] Okay.
[00:32:06] And.
[00:32:06] The waters recede like quickly.
[00:32:09] Like really fucking fast.
[00:32:10] Like.
[00:32:10] Like.
[00:32:11] It's never explained what caused the flood.
[00:32:13] It's never explained what happened to humanity.
[00:32:16] Nothing explained except for.
[00:32:18] You know.
[00:32:19] This is what life is.
[00:32:20] And this flood hits.
[00:32:21] And the waters rose really really fast.
[00:32:23] Right.
[00:32:24] And now at this point.
[00:32:25] The waters are.
[00:32:26] Falling.
[00:32:27] Really really fast.
[00:32:28] Uh huh.
[00:32:29] And he ends up getting footing on ground.
[00:32:32] He waits.
[00:32:33] And then.
[00:32:34] Eventually starts looking around.
[00:32:37] Other animals who had found shelter.
[00:32:39] Or.
[00:32:40] Whatever.
[00:32:40] Whatever.
[00:32:41] Particularly lemurs.
[00:32:43] And the lemur.
[00:32:43] And.
[00:32:44] Like.
[00:32:45] He finds.
[00:32:46] His lemur's basket.
[00:32:48] With like.
[00:32:48] His lemur's stuff.
[00:32:50] And he's excited.
[00:32:50] Because he's like.
[00:32:51] Okay.
[00:32:51] That's my friend the lemur.
[00:32:52] And when he finds this colony of lemurs.
[00:32:55] That are coming together.
[00:32:56] But they're.
[00:32:56] They're lemurs.
[00:32:57] And they're all like.
[00:32:58] You can go fuck yourself cat.
[00:33:00] Well his lemur's with him.
[00:33:02] And his lemur's like.
[00:33:03] Yeah.
[00:33:04] These are my people.
[00:33:06] So the cat walks away.
[00:33:07] When the lemur leaves.
[00:33:09] And goes and finds the cat.
[00:33:10] Oh I see.
[00:33:11] And then that.
[00:33:12] That leads them to.
[00:33:13] They find the boat.
[00:33:15] The boat's up in a tree.
[00:33:17] With the dogs.
[00:33:19] And the.
[00:33:20] All the dogs.
[00:33:20] All the dogs.
[00:33:22] There's like.
[00:33:23] Four dogs total.
[00:33:25] His friend dog.
[00:33:26] Plus three others.
[00:33:28] And the.
[00:33:32] What we refer to as the chupacabra.
[00:33:34] But it's something else.
[00:33:36] Yeah.
[00:33:37] Whatever that thing is.
[00:33:38] I don't know.
[00:33:39] Capybara.
[00:33:40] Capybara.
[00:33:40] Capybara.
[00:33:41] Yes.
[00:33:41] That's the one.
[00:33:42] So.
[00:33:43] They have to work to get their friends out of the tree.
[00:33:48] The.
[00:33:49] Their dog is the last one to get out.
[00:33:51] And they're.
[00:33:51] Holding a rope.
[00:33:53] And a rabbit goes by.
[00:33:55] And the three other.
[00:33:57] Greedy dogs.
[00:33:59] Leave.
[00:33:59] Leave.
[00:34:00] Okay.
[00:34:01] So now there's the one dog trying.
[00:34:02] Like.
[00:34:03] Or the.
[00:34:05] The capacabra.
[00:34:06] Yeah.
[00:34:06] Trying to hold the.
[00:34:08] Or no.
[00:34:08] It was the dog.
[00:34:09] Holding a rope.
[00:34:10] The capacabra.
[00:34:11] Still on the.
[00:34:11] The boat.
[00:34:11] That was it.
[00:34:12] Yeah.
[00:34:12] And they're trying to hold.
[00:34:14] And get.
[00:34:14] The.
[00:34:15] You know.
[00:34:15] So.
[00:34:16] Like.
[00:34:16] It was like.
[00:34:16] And then at the end of it.
[00:34:18] Like.
[00:34:19] The cat realizes.
[00:34:20] This is my family.
[00:34:21] Okay.
[00:34:21] This is my pack.
[00:34:23] Yeah.
[00:34:23] These.
[00:34:24] These three other animals.
[00:34:25] And like.
[00:34:25] They all.
[00:34:26] Have a moment where they're looking at a puddle.
[00:34:28] And that's how it ends.
[00:34:30] I see.
[00:34:30] Yeah.
[00:34:31] That's cool.
[00:34:32] Yeah.
[00:34:32] It was very.
[00:34:32] Very well done.
[00:34:33] It was extraordinary.
[00:34:34] I'm sorry I spoiled it.
[00:34:35] But.
[00:34:36] Trust me.
[00:34:37] I'm not doing any justice.
[00:34:38] You have to see it.
[00:34:39] Yeah.
[00:34:41] Fantastic.
[00:34:43] It was.
[00:34:44] Cool.
[00:34:44] Yeah.
[00:34:45] So.
[00:34:49] All right.
[00:34:50] Right.
[00:34:51] So.
[00:34:54] Now that you found your zen.
[00:34:55] Now that I found my zen.
[00:34:56] Yes.
[00:35:00] Big game tomorrow.
[00:35:02] What?
[00:35:03] Goodness.
[00:35:04] Yeah.
[00:35:04] I'm going.
[00:35:05] Are you?
[00:35:05] Yeah.
[00:35:06] Oh.
[00:35:07] You son of a bitch.
[00:35:11] That should be exciting.
[00:35:14] Yeah.
[00:35:15] Must win.
[00:35:17] Yeah.
[00:35:18] Like.
[00:35:19] You hate to say that about any Browns game.
[00:35:22] But like.
[00:35:23] You got to win this game.
[00:35:25] Yeah.
[00:35:25] And then on top of that.
[00:35:27] Because.
[00:35:27] The next three.
[00:35:29] I mean.
[00:35:30] That's.
[00:35:30] Philly.
[00:35:31] Casey.
[00:35:33] And the Ravens.
[00:35:35] Right.
[00:35:36] Fuck.
[00:35:37] Yeah.
[00:35:38] Like.
[00:35:40] That's going to be brutal.
[00:35:41] Mm-hmm.
[00:35:43] Did you watch Hard Knocks?
[00:35:46] Oh.
[00:35:47] You should watch Hard Knocks.
[00:35:48] Really?
[00:35:49] Yeah.
[00:35:50] Is it good?
[00:35:50] Well.
[00:35:51] Because it's the NFC North.
[00:35:52] Yeah.
[00:35:53] I know.
[00:35:53] I get it.
[00:35:54] Well.
[00:35:56] Just like I said.
[00:35:57] Mike Thomas.
[00:35:58] The star.
[00:35:59] Really?
[00:36:00] Oh yeah.
[00:36:01] But there's this amazing like three minute.
[00:36:04] Moment.
[00:36:05] Because like.
[00:36:06] So.
[00:36:06] They're coming in.
[00:36:08] And you know.
[00:36:08] The first game they're.
[00:36:10] They're covering.
[00:36:12] Is.
[00:36:13] The Steelers and the Bengals.
[00:36:15] Okay.
[00:36:15] So because it's the two teams in the division playing each other.
[00:36:18] And they're covering all four division teams.
[00:36:20] This game kind of gets.
[00:36:23] Highlighted.
[00:36:23] Yeah.
[00:36:24] Because it's like you know.
[00:36:25] Because they can see.
[00:36:26] They're showing both sides.
[00:36:28] Right.
[00:36:29] Right.
[00:36:29] And it's like.
[00:36:33] At one point.
[00:36:34] Like Mike Tallman's talking about like.
[00:36:38] Nick Herbig.
[00:36:40] You're going to have to.
[00:36:42] Slay Zeus.
[00:36:44] That's what he said to him.
[00:36:44] Yes.
[00:36:45] That's exactly what he says to him.
[00:36:46] He's like.
[00:36:47] You know.
[00:36:47] Two years ago.
[00:36:49] Alex Highsmith.
[00:36:51] Ran over whoever it was they had.
[00:36:53] At left tackle.
[00:36:54] And destroyed him.
[00:36:56] And because of that.
[00:36:58] They went out and got Orlando Brown.
[00:37:00] Zeus.
[00:37:01] Yeah.
[00:37:01] And now he's your problem.
[00:37:03] And you need to conquer him.
[00:37:05] You need to figure this out.
[00:37:07] Because you've got the big assignment.
[00:37:10] Yeah.
[00:37:10] And then.
[00:37:13] So that foreshadows going into.
[00:37:15] The game.
[00:37:17] He gets that.
[00:37:18] He beats.
[00:37:18] Brown gets the strip sack.
[00:37:20] Yeah.
[00:37:21] And.
[00:37:22] Mike Tallman grabs him.
[00:37:23] And he's like.
[00:37:24] I am not surprised.
[00:37:26] This is not a lightning strike.
[00:37:28] This is what you're meant to do.
[00:37:30] Really?
[00:37:31] Yeah.
[00:37:31] Like it.
[00:37:33] It's that thing of like.
[00:37:36] We sit here.
[00:37:37] And it's easy to do.
[00:37:39] Because you're like.
[00:37:40] Man.
[00:37:40] The guy hasn't won a playoff game in seven years.
[00:37:43] You know.
[00:37:44] Yeah.
[00:37:45] Never had a losing season.
[00:37:46] But.
[00:37:47] Right.
[00:37:47] You know.
[00:37:48] Like what.
[00:37:48] What does that do for you?
[00:37:50] It gets you into the playoffs.
[00:37:51] And you're a one.
[00:37:51] A one.
[00:37:52] One and done.
[00:37:53] Getting blown out by Buffalo or Kansas City.
[00:37:56] Yeah.
[00:37:56] You know.
[00:37:57] Like.
[00:37:57] That's been the attitude towards Mike Tallman.
[00:38:00] But then you see this.
[00:38:03] And you end up saying to yourself.
[00:38:07] Yeah.
[00:38:07] He's a really good fucking coach.
[00:38:09] And I see why we keep him.
[00:38:10] Yeah.
[00:38:11] Because he does stuff like that.
[00:38:13] Like he talks.
[00:38:14] Like he was talking about like.
[00:38:15] You know.
[00:38:17] We need.
[00:38:18] To introduce ourselves.
[00:38:20] To the featured runner.
[00:38:22] You know.
[00:38:22] He's a rookie.
[00:38:23] He.
[00:38:24] We need to make sure.
[00:38:25] He may not know your name today.
[00:38:28] But he better know your name on Monday.
[00:38:30] Really?
[00:38:31] Yeah.
[00:38:32] Like.
[00:38:32] And that.
[00:38:33] Like at the beginning of the game.
[00:38:34] You know.
[00:38:35] Brown ran wild.
[00:38:37] Yeah.
[00:38:37] And there's a moment where like.
[00:38:39] They're going off the field at halftime.
[00:38:41] And.
[00:38:43] It's a.
[00:38:44] Cam Hayward.
[00:38:46] Walking next to.
[00:38:47] And he's like.
[00:38:48] Fuck.
[00:38:48] That Brown's pretty good.
[00:38:49] He's like.
[00:38:49] I told you.
[00:38:51] Now get your men in line.
[00:38:53] Really?
[00:38:53] Yeah.
[00:38:54] Like.
[00:38:55] Yeah.
[00:38:55] Oh.
[00:38:55] Okay.
[00:38:56] Oh shit.
[00:38:56] Like.
[00:38:57] You know.
[00:38:57] But then the other side of that was like.
[00:39:00] You see the.
[00:39:01] What they're saying about the Steelers.
[00:39:03] And Mike Mitchell was like.
[00:39:06] You know.
[00:39:08] His first look is 14.
[00:39:10] You got to take.
[00:39:10] You got to take away George Pickens.
[00:39:12] Yeah.
[00:39:12] Like.
[00:39:13] You know.
[00:39:13] This is what we've got to do.
[00:39:15] Against a guy like this.
[00:39:16] We've got to take him away.
[00:39:17] Because that is his first look.
[00:39:18] You let him have a big play.
[00:39:21] You let him into the game.
[00:39:22] We're in trouble.
[00:39:24] You know.
[00:39:25] The first thing you have was that.
[00:39:27] Horrific.
[00:39:28] Non-pass interference call.
[00:39:30] It became the pick six.
[00:39:31] Yeah.
[00:39:32] And then.
[00:39:33] Mike Tomlin talking to Pickens.
[00:39:35] Like.
[00:39:35] That play is not the game.
[00:39:37] Keep your head in the game.
[00:39:39] Stay here.
[00:39:40] Yeah.
[00:39:40] Now.
[00:39:41] What it doesn't show is.
[00:39:42] You know.
[00:39:43] The three other.
[00:39:45] Penalty's on George Pickens.
[00:39:46] The five.
[00:39:48] On fucking Joey Porter Jr.
[00:39:50] Yeah.
[00:39:50] You know.
[00:39:51] Like.
[00:39:52] I need to see Mike Tomlin talking to him.
[00:39:54] Then.
[00:39:54] Like.
[00:39:55] You know.
[00:39:56] Yeah.
[00:39:56] Get your head in the fucking game.
[00:39:58] You know.
[00:39:58] Yeah.
[00:39:58] But.
[00:39:59] Later on.
[00:40:00] Pickens is making the big plays.
[00:40:02] You know.
[00:40:04] So.
[00:40:04] It was interesting.
[00:40:05] Like.
[00:40:07] Shut his mouth.
[00:40:09] Yeah.
[00:40:09] Yeah.
[00:40:10] Shut your fucking mouth.
[00:40:11] But.
[00:40:12] It was.
[00:40:13] It's interesting to see like them.
[00:40:15] Like.
[00:40:16] The compare and contrast between.
[00:40:17] What Cincinnati's saying about Pittsburgh.
[00:40:19] What Pittsburgh's saying about Cincinnati.
[00:40:21] And how the two teams prepare.
[00:40:23] Yeah.
[00:40:23] Now.
[00:40:24] Like.
[00:40:25] Like.
[00:40:25] The thing I said when they announced this.
[00:40:27] Was.
[00:40:29] Mike Tomlin and John Harbaugh are going to be the stars of the show.
[00:40:32] Yeah.
[00:40:32] Because.
[00:40:34] Out of the four coaches in the NFC North.
[00:40:37] They're.
[00:40:37] You know.
[00:40:38] Obviously.
[00:40:38] They've been there the longest.
[00:40:39] Tomlin 18 years.
[00:40:40] Harbaugh 17 years.
[00:40:41] Yeah.
[00:40:42] But the other side of that is also.
[00:40:46] Kevin Stefanski.
[00:40:47] And.
[00:40:50] Taylor.
[00:40:51] In Cincinnati.
[00:40:53] They're interchangeable.
[00:40:54] Yeah.
[00:40:54] They're the same fucking guy.
[00:40:56] Yeah.
[00:40:56] Like.
[00:40:56] There's nothing that distinguishes one from the other.
[00:40:59] And you kind of get a little bit of that.
[00:41:01] Yeah.
[00:41:02] Like.
[00:41:03] At one point.
[00:41:04] Like.
[00:41:05] Stefanski's like.
[00:41:06] At the beginning of the episode.
[00:41:07] He's like.
[00:41:08] How many of you guys want to make the.
[00:41:09] Playoffs.
[00:41:10] Everybody's raising their hand.
[00:41:11] Well.
[00:41:11] Congratulations.
[00:41:11] He made the playoffs.
[00:41:13] Well.
[00:41:13] You're the fucking Browns.
[00:41:15] Like.
[00:41:16] You're already eliminated from the fucking playoffs.
[00:41:18] What are you saying welcome to the playoffs for?
[00:41:20] Like.
[00:41:20] You know.
[00:41:20] I mean.
[00:41:20] Like.
[00:41:21] Like.
[00:41:21] This is a joke.
[00:41:23] Yeah.
[00:41:23] You know.
[00:41:24] And.
[00:41:25] You know.
[00:41:26] He's given all this.
[00:41:28] Like.
[00:41:30] You know.
[00:41:31] The Warriors already won the battle.
[00:41:34] Before the battle was started.
[00:41:36] Or so.
[00:41:36] I'm like.
[00:41:38] No.
[00:41:39] Stop it.
[00:41:40] You know.
[00:41:41] Like.
[00:41:42] We're like.
[00:41:43] John Harbaugh.
[00:41:44] Like.
[00:41:44] I'm like.
[00:41:45] I'm like.
[00:41:45] I see why he's a good coach too.
[00:41:47] Yeah.
[00:41:47] You know.
[00:41:47] Like.
[00:41:49] Much different from Tomlin.
[00:41:50] But.
[00:41:50] You know.
[00:41:51] I can see why players want to play for him.
[00:41:53] I can see why.
[00:41:54] He's successful.
[00:41:55] But like.
[00:41:55] The other two.
[00:41:56] I'm like.
[00:41:56] You know.
[00:41:57] There's a reason you stink.
[00:41:59] You know.
[00:42:02] Yeah.
[00:42:04] Joe Burrow's more concerned with the Batmobile he bought.
[00:42:06] Than.
[00:42:07] You know.
[00:42:08] Probably because he knows.
[00:42:09] The.
[00:42:09] The.
[00:42:09] The.
[00:42:10] The organization around him stinks.
[00:42:12] So I might as well just go buy my Batmobile.
[00:42:14] And talk to the boys about it.
[00:42:15] Yeah.
[00:42:16] You know.
[00:42:16] Yeah.
[00:42:18] So.
[00:42:19] Yes.
[00:42:19] It's worth.
[00:42:20] Like.
[00:42:20] If.
[00:42:23] If you're a football fan.
[00:42:24] And I will always recommend Hard Knocks to you.
[00:42:27] Yeah.
[00:42:27] Like.
[00:42:27] I think.
[00:42:28] I think it's worth watching.
[00:42:29] But I think particularly for you and I.
[00:42:31] Or any other fan of a team in the NFC North.
[00:42:34] It's interesting to watch.
[00:42:35] Because.
[00:42:38] You're getting.
[00:42:39] Not a full.
[00:42:40] Access.
[00:42:41] But a little bit of access.
[00:42:43] To see like.
[00:42:44] What is.
[00:42:45] Mike Tomlin like behind closed doors.
[00:42:47] Yeah.
[00:42:48] Like.
[00:42:49] What.
[00:42:50] Because I don't.
[00:42:51] Like.
[00:42:51] I don't think he's.
[00:42:54] The coach from Cleveland.
[00:42:56] I guess the offensive line coach.
[00:42:58] I felt like.
[00:42:58] As I was watching it.
[00:43:00] Well this guy's putting on a show for the cameras.
[00:43:02] Okay.
[00:43:03] You know what I mean.
[00:43:03] Like.
[00:43:04] This guy wants to be.
[00:43:06] Talked about.
[00:43:08] Yeah.
[00:43:08] And he's making this big speech.
[00:43:10] And.
[00:43:10] It fell flat.
[00:43:11] Because it felt forced.
[00:43:13] Yeah.
[00:43:13] Where I feel like.
[00:43:14] Like Mike Tomlin.
[00:43:14] When he was talking.
[00:43:15] I mean.
[00:43:15] That's just Mike Tomlin talking.
[00:43:17] Yeah.
[00:43:17] We're used to that.
[00:43:18] Yeah.
[00:43:19] Like.
[00:43:19] You know what I mean.
[00:43:19] Like.
[00:43:20] That's how I honestly feel.
[00:43:21] So it's like.
[00:43:22] It's interesting to see like.
[00:43:24] How he is in the meeting rooms.
[00:43:26] Like how he is.
[00:43:29] Like there's a great moment at the beginning.
[00:43:31] Like.
[00:43:31] He's got his feet up on a table.
[00:43:33] He's just sitting there.
[00:43:34] And he's talking to.
[00:43:35] Terrell Austin.
[00:43:36] A couple of the other coaches.
[00:43:38] It cracks open a bag of.
[00:43:40] Fritos.
[00:43:42] Just watching film.
[00:43:44] The real?
[00:43:44] Yeah.
[00:43:45] I'm like.
[00:43:45] My dog.
[00:43:48] You know.
[00:43:50] Fritos.
[00:43:50] Yeah.
[00:43:51] Yeah.
[00:43:51] So like.
[00:43:52] It is interesting.
[00:43:53] Like.
[00:43:54] And like.
[00:43:55] Just off the first episode.
[00:43:56] I'm kind of saying like.
[00:43:59] Well now I understand.
[00:44:00] Like.
[00:44:00] You don't get rid of this guy.
[00:44:02] Because.
[00:44:04] This is what he brings to the table.
[00:44:06] Right.
[00:44:06] And who else is going to bring that to the table.
[00:44:08] Right.
[00:44:09] Nobody.
[00:44:10] You know.
[00:44:11] He seems to motivate his guys.
[00:44:13] He does.
[00:44:13] Like.
[00:44:15] I mean.
[00:44:18] I hate the poo poo.
[00:44:19] The no losing season thing.
[00:44:22] Because.
[00:44:24] It is impressive.
[00:44:26] Yeah.
[00:44:26] You know what I mean.
[00:44:27] But at the same time.
[00:44:29] There's a lot of eight and eight seasons in there.
[00:44:33] And there's a lot of like.
[00:44:36] Mediocre draft picks because of it.
[00:44:38] Right.
[00:44:39] You know what I mean.
[00:44:40] Like there's a lot of like picking like around.
[00:44:42] 18, 19, 20.
[00:44:44] Yeah.
[00:44:44] 22.
[00:44:45] 22.
[00:44:45] Like you know what I mean.
[00:44:46] Like.
[00:44:47] Because you don't have losing seasons.
[00:44:49] Like.
[00:44:49] Bill Cowher.
[00:44:51] Had losing seasons.
[00:44:53] And those losing seasons turned into higher draft picks.
[00:44:57] One of which happened to be Ben Roethlisberger.
[00:45:00] Yeah.
[00:45:01] You know.
[00:45:01] Like sometimes you kind of need that losing season.
[00:45:04] Yeah.
[00:45:05] To get what you need.
[00:45:07] Yeah.
[00:45:07] You know.
[00:45:08] Yeah.
[00:45:09] Because I mean again.
[00:45:10] Like it comes back to like.
[00:45:11] Who's the quarterback for the Steelers next year?
[00:45:14] Yeah.
[00:45:15] Yeah.
[00:45:15] Are you going to pay Russell Wilson 120 million over three years?
[00:45:19] No.
[00:45:21] Steelers aren't going to do that.
[00:45:22] I don't know.
[00:45:23] I mean like.
[00:45:23] That's the boat you're in.
[00:45:25] Yeah.
[00:45:25] And so if Russell Wilson takes you to the AFC championship game.
[00:45:29] Or he takes you to the Super Bowl.
[00:45:31] Yeah.
[00:45:32] He wins the Super Bowl.
[00:45:33] Your hands are tied.
[00:45:35] Yeah.
[00:45:36] You know what I mean.
[00:45:36] Like.
[00:45:37] Or do you let go of Russell Wilson and you say.
[00:45:40] Okay.
[00:45:40] We're going to keep Justin Fields.
[00:45:41] Because we can sign him to a four year.
[00:45:47] A hundred million dollar deal.
[00:45:49] Right.
[00:45:49] And get him at a better price.
[00:45:51] Yeah.
[00:45:51] Like.
[00:45:52] Like that.
[00:45:52] That's the things that you're kind of like.
[00:45:54] Or.
[00:45:54] Like.
[00:45:55] Are you fucked?
[00:45:56] And you're.
[00:45:56] You know.
[00:45:57] You're going into a.
[00:45:58] A draft.
[00:46:00] That's.
[00:46:01] Not.
[00:46:02] Quarterback heavy.
[00:46:03] Right.
[00:46:04] Looking for a quarterback.
[00:46:05] Yeah.
[00:46:05] You know.
[00:46:06] And you pull another Kenny Pickett.
[00:46:08] Yeah.
[00:46:09] I mean.
[00:46:11] You're fucked either way with Russell Wilson and Fields.
[00:46:15] You got to pay one of them.
[00:46:17] If you want to keep him.
[00:46:18] Right.
[00:46:19] You know what I mean.
[00:46:20] Yeah.
[00:46:23] I mean.
[00:46:23] Do you keep the younger guy.
[00:46:24] Because he's younger.
[00:46:25] Yeah.
[00:46:26] And maybe you can give him a better price.
[00:46:29] Or do you keep the vet.
[00:46:31] Because you're saying to yourself.
[00:46:33] Okay.
[00:46:33] Our window.
[00:46:34] Is only open for so long.
[00:46:36] Right.
[00:46:37] And.
[00:46:38] We need Russell Wilson.
[00:46:40] In that window.
[00:46:42] Right.
[00:46:43] You know.
[00:46:44] So maybe you don't just get one.
[00:46:45] Maybe you get two.
[00:46:46] Yeah.
[00:46:49] So.
[00:46:51] How do you think Russell Wilson's been playing?
[00:46:55] I think he's played extraordinarily well.
[00:46:57] Yeah.
[00:46:57] Me too.
[00:46:58] Like.
[00:47:01] We discussed like.
[00:47:02] Okay.
[00:47:02] He's.
[00:47:03] Mike Tomlin's making this change.
[00:47:04] And so many people were against it.
[00:47:06] I wasn't against it.
[00:47:07] But I was like.
[00:47:08] I get where Mike Tomlin's coming from.
[00:47:11] Yeah.
[00:47:12] Like.
[00:47:13] Let's see what we've got.
[00:47:15] And.
[00:47:16] I think the biggest advantage Russell Wilson has.
[00:47:19] Is he throws that moon ball.
[00:47:21] Yeah.
[00:47:23] Like.
[00:47:23] And the way that thing comes down.
[00:47:26] Right.
[00:47:27] Like.
[00:47:27] It's amazing.
[00:47:28] Like.
[00:47:28] It just comes like.
[00:47:29] Almost like straight down to somebody.
[00:47:31] You know.
[00:47:32] And you just got to go up and get it.
[00:47:34] Yeah.
[00:47:35] Um.
[00:47:37] Where.
[00:47:38] Justin Fields.
[00:47:39] When he throws a deep ball.
[00:47:40] He throws it on a rope.
[00:47:41] Yeah.
[00:47:42] You know what I mean?
[00:47:42] Like.
[00:47:43] It is.
[00:47:44] Zing.
[00:47:45] You know.
[00:47:46] So.
[00:47:46] I mean.
[00:47:47] He has a massive difference there.
[00:47:51] I.
[00:47:51] I.
[00:47:52] I think.
[00:47:52] I think Justin.
[00:47:54] Not Justin.
[00:47:54] I think Russell Wilson.
[00:47:56] Has.
[00:48:00] Has done what he's needed to do.
[00:48:02] He's.
[00:48:03] He's opened up down the field.
[00:48:04] So now you got to back off the safeties.
[00:48:07] That's open up the running game.
[00:48:10] For.
[00:48:11] Nodge and Warren.
[00:48:12] And.
[00:48:12] For Darrell Patterson.
[00:48:14] Yeah.
[00:48:14] You know.
[00:48:15] It's.
[00:48:16] Opened up other things.
[00:48:17] Because you have to.
[00:48:19] You know.
[00:48:20] Yeah.
[00:48:20] Are you bringing a safety into the box?
[00:48:22] Or are you dropping him back and playing.
[00:48:24] Too deep coverage.
[00:48:25] Right.
[00:48:26] Because you don't want to give up the deep ball.
[00:48:27] Because.
[00:48:28] You know.
[00:48:29] So it's.
[00:48:32] And when you have a wily veteran.
[00:48:33] Who can.
[00:48:34] Come to the line.
[00:48:36] Can make that read.
[00:48:38] You probably have given him that.
[00:48:39] That leeway to go ahead and change a play at the line.
[00:48:42] Yeah.
[00:48:43] Where you didn't have that before with your other quarterbacks.
[00:48:46] Right.
[00:48:46] Not since Ben.
[00:48:48] You know.
[00:48:48] That.
[00:48:49] He can see like.
[00:48:51] Okay.
[00:48:51] Yeah.
[00:48:51] This play isn't going to work.
[00:48:52] Let me get us in the.
[00:48:53] A run.
[00:48:54] Or.
[00:48:54] You know.
[00:48:55] I've got one-on-one coverage of the outside.
[00:48:58] Kill.
[00:48:58] Kill.
[00:48:59] Kill.
[00:49:00] Yeah.
[00:49:00] You know.
[00:49:00] And then he gives like a signal to Georgia.
[00:49:02] Just.
[00:49:02] You know.
[00:49:03] Run as fast as you can in a straight line.
[00:49:05] Yeah.
[00:49:06] You know what I mean?
[00:49:07] Like.
[00:49:07] That's probably it.
[00:49:08] Yeah.
[00:49:08] And.
[00:49:10] It.
[00:49:11] You know.
[00:49:13] That's the type of experience that's like.
[00:49:15] You know.
[00:49:16] Man.
[00:49:16] That's.
[00:49:16] When you've got it.
[00:49:18] Yeah.
[00:49:18] You know.
[00:49:20] Yeah.
[00:49:21] Well.
[00:49:21] I think he can definitely read.
[00:49:23] Yeah.
[00:49:24] Yeah.
[00:49:24] Yeah.
[00:49:25] But I think like.
[00:49:25] Like.
[00:49:25] That might be a.
[00:49:27] You know.
[00:49:28] And that's the veteran.
[00:49:29] That's the.
[00:49:30] Not only is it the veteran coming out.
[00:49:31] But it's somebody who.
[00:49:34] Learned that in college.
[00:49:35] Probably.
[00:49:36] Yeah.
[00:49:37] Like.
[00:49:37] Russell Wilson.
[00:49:39] And people forget.
[00:49:40] Like.
[00:49:40] He played the majority of his college career at NC State.
[00:49:43] Yeah.
[00:49:44] The first time I saw Russell Wilson was against Pitt.
[00:49:46] Yeah.
[00:49:47] At NC State.
[00:49:48] And.
[00:49:49] Russell Wilson carved up Pitt.
[00:49:51] Right.
[00:49:51] And he's like.
[00:49:51] Mother.
[00:49:52] Who is this little guy?
[00:49:53] Yeah.
[00:49:53] You know.
[00:49:54] And then he.
[00:49:54] He did that 50 year senior thing at Wisconsin.
[00:49:58] Yeah.
[00:50:01] They.
[00:50:01] North Carolina.
[00:50:02] North Carolina State was running a pro style offense.
[00:50:05] And so was Wisconsin.
[00:50:06] Yeah.
[00:50:07] So he was being taught to read defenses.
[00:50:11] In college.
[00:50:12] Right.
[00:50:13] College today doesn't teach you to read defenses.
[00:50:17] Like.
[00:50:17] The.
[00:50:18] The.
[00:50:18] The spread option offense that they run now.
[00:50:20] Like.
[00:50:21] That every team runs.
[00:50:22] Is not.
[00:50:24] Like.
[00:50:24] You have like.
[00:50:25] You want to see.
[00:50:26] What's the defensive end doing.
[00:50:27] And what's the safety doing.
[00:50:29] That's all you're looking at.
[00:50:30] Yeah.
[00:50:31] Everything else.
[00:50:32] Like.
[00:50:32] If you watch those games.
[00:50:33] Especially the ones that like.
[00:50:35] That they do the.
[00:50:36] You know.
[00:50:37] No huddle.
[00:50:38] Look to the sideline.
[00:50:39] Everybody looks at the sideline.
[00:50:40] For the play.
[00:50:42] Like.
[00:50:43] That's the coach making all that decision.
[00:50:45] Those decisions.
[00:50:46] Yeah.
[00:50:47] Like.
[00:50:48] It's the same thing.
[00:50:49] Like I used to say.
[00:50:50] And Jeff Goff has gotten better with it.
[00:50:52] But like.
[00:50:53] The year he took the Rams to the Super Bowl.
[00:50:56] Like.
[00:50:56] It was like.
[00:50:57] Well how was Jeff Goff stymied?
[00:50:59] Well it's because.
[00:51:00] New England didn't show anything.
[00:51:01] Until after.
[00:51:02] Until you got under 15 seconds.
[00:51:04] On the play clock.
[00:51:05] Because that's when the headset shuts down.
[00:51:07] Okay.
[00:51:08] He had Sean McVay in his ear.
[00:51:10] Giving him the reason.
[00:51:11] Who to throw to.
[00:51:12] But because.
[00:51:13] New England wasn't showing anything.
[00:51:15] Until after.
[00:51:16] The 15 seconds.
[00:51:17] Cut out.
[00:51:18] He didn't know what to do.
[00:51:20] Okay.
[00:51:20] That's why that offense did nothing in that Super Bowl.
[00:51:23] Okay.
[00:51:24] Because he didn't.
[00:51:25] He didn't have the tools.
[00:51:27] To make it work.
[00:51:29] He needed his coach in his ear.
[00:51:30] Telling him what to do.
[00:51:31] Okay.
[00:51:32] And it's the same thing with these college quarterbacks now.
[00:51:34] And.
[00:51:35] Justin Fields falls into that.
[00:51:37] Okay.
[00:51:38] Because he's not being taught at the college level.
[00:51:41] Or at the high school level.
[00:51:42] For how to read a defense.
[00:51:44] Yeah.
[00:51:45] Hmm.
[00:51:48] Like if you watch college games now.
[00:51:52] Most of them.
[00:51:53] It's.
[00:51:54] You know.
[00:51:56] Very simplistic reads.
[00:51:58] Yeah.
[00:51:59] You know.
[00:51:59] There's no real motion.
[00:52:01] There's no.
[00:52:02] Like.
[00:52:05] I'll hear it.
[00:52:06] I'm sure.
[00:52:07] Like when I played high school football.
[00:52:08] Like we ran motion.
[00:52:10] And the motion was meant to help determine what the coverage is.
[00:52:13] Right.
[00:52:13] You know.
[00:52:14] If I send a guy in motion from right to left.
[00:52:16] And somebody went all the way with him.
[00:52:18] Well that's man coverage.
[00:52:20] You know.
[00:52:20] If.
[00:52:21] Somebody started with him and dropped off.
[00:52:23] And somebody picked him up.
[00:52:24] You know.
[00:52:24] That was zone.
[00:52:25] Like.
[00:52:26] You.
[00:52:26] You.
[00:52:26] You may.
[00:52:27] You were making certain reads.
[00:52:28] Based on what the defense did.
[00:52:29] Based upon your motion.
[00:52:31] Yeah.
[00:52:32] You know.
[00:52:33] That's.
[00:52:34] I mean.
[00:52:34] It's true all the way up to the pros.
[00:52:36] Like.
[00:52:36] To.
[00:52:37] There are other things you look for.
[00:52:39] But like.
[00:52:39] You know.
[00:52:40] What's the placement of the safety.
[00:52:41] You know.
[00:52:42] How are they positioned.
[00:52:43] And.
[00:52:44] You know.
[00:52:44] What's the cornerback doing.
[00:52:45] If he looks like he's taking an inside or an outside.
[00:52:48] You know.
[00:52:48] Like.
[00:52:49] There's a lot of different stuff you look at.
[00:52:52] But.
[00:52:53] Even on the most basic level.
[00:52:54] At high school.
[00:52:55] Like.
[00:52:55] We were using motion.
[00:52:56] For a quarterback.
[00:52:58] To help determine what the coverage was.
[00:52:59] Before we ran to play.
[00:53:01] Yeah.
[00:53:02] On.
[00:53:02] In college.
[00:53:03] Like.
[00:53:03] They're not learning that.
[00:53:05] In high school.
[00:53:06] They're not learning that.
[00:53:07] Right.
[00:53:07] Like.
[00:53:08] You know.
[00:53:08] There is no.
[00:53:10] They even talk about.
[00:53:11] Like.
[00:53:12] Like.
[00:53:12] The simplest thing.
[00:53:13] Of like.
[00:53:13] Just taking a snap from center.
[00:53:14] You don't do it in college anymore.
[00:53:16] Right.
[00:53:17] You don't do it in high school.
[00:53:19] Like.
[00:53:19] I was shocked.
[00:53:20] When I went to the South Allegheny football game.
[00:53:22] This year.
[00:53:23] South Allegheny's quarterback.
[00:53:24] Actually got under center.
[00:53:25] A few times.
[00:53:26] Right.
[00:53:26] I was shocked by that.
[00:53:27] Because they don't do it anymore.
[00:53:28] Yeah.
[00:53:29] Like.
[00:53:29] They all want to.
[00:53:30] Go from a shotgun.
[00:53:31] Because.
[00:53:32] You have more time.
[00:53:34] You can make the simple read.
[00:53:36] And.
[00:53:37] Get it to your first option.
[00:53:38] The first option.
[00:53:39] Not there.
[00:53:39] Tuck the ball and run.
[00:53:40] Yeah.
[00:53:40] That's what they're taught.
[00:53:42] And especially a guy like Justin Fields.
[00:53:45] Who's got that.
[00:53:46] Running talent.
[00:53:48] In college.
[00:53:48] They were probably telling them.
[00:53:50] You look here.
[00:53:51] You look here.
[00:53:51] If it's not there.
[00:53:52] You run.
[00:53:52] Yeah.
[00:53:53] There are no third and fourth options.
[00:53:54] There's no.
[00:53:56] Additional reads.
[00:53:56] It's.
[00:53:57] Look here.
[00:53:57] Look here.
[00:53:58] Boom.
[00:53:58] Tuck it and run.
[00:53:59] Yeah.
[00:54:00] Because you're the best athlete on the field.
[00:54:01] Yeah.
[00:54:03] Yeah.
[00:54:03] I get it.
[00:54:04] You know.
[00:54:04] And it was probably the same thing in Chicago.
[00:54:07] In Chicago.
[00:54:08] They were probably like.
[00:54:09] Well.
[00:54:10] You know.
[00:54:10] You run really well.
[00:54:13] Yeah.
[00:54:14] I know.
[00:54:15] You know.
[00:54:17] You can run.
[00:54:17] You can.
[00:54:19] Absolutely.
[00:54:20] But like.
[00:54:21] It's that.
[00:54:21] That thing of like.
[00:54:26] Okay.
[00:54:27] Here's a prime example.
[00:54:29] I've watched two.
[00:54:30] Two games this year with Lamar Jackson.
[00:54:32] Like.
[00:54:32] The whole game.
[00:54:33] I watched the Steeler game against us.
[00:54:36] And I watched.
[00:54:38] The Philadelphia game last week.
[00:54:42] He.
[00:54:44] He is trying so hard.
[00:54:48] To be a pocket passer.
[00:54:51] Yeah.
[00:54:52] Like.
[00:54:52] And I'm not saying.
[00:54:53] Like.
[00:54:54] If you have the tools.
[00:54:56] I'm saying you can use them.
[00:54:58] But you have to understand.
[00:54:59] You're a quarterback first.
[00:55:00] And I know people are like.
[00:55:01] Oh.
[00:55:01] You talk about him running too much.
[00:55:03] I understand that.
[00:55:04] But at the same time.
[00:55:07] He's.
[00:55:10] He's not playing at an MVP level.
[00:55:13] Against quality defenses.
[00:55:15] Like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
[00:55:17] Because he's being.
[00:55:19] Hemmed in.
[00:55:22] And kept from doing what he does best.
[00:55:24] Yeah.
[00:55:26] You know what I mean?
[00:55:27] Yeah.
[00:55:28] Like.
[00:55:29] This.
[00:55:30] Some of it is.
[00:55:31] The Steelers just don't let him run.
[00:55:33] Right.
[00:55:34] Like.
[00:55:35] You can't.
[00:55:36] Like.
[00:55:36] He's.
[00:55:37] Like.
[00:55:37] There's a running lane.
[00:55:38] But.
[00:55:39] Oh shit.
[00:55:39] There's a linebacker who's going to crush me.
[00:55:41] Yeah.
[00:55:41] You know.
[00:55:42] It was the same thing as Philadelphia.
[00:55:43] Like.
[00:55:44] You know.
[00:55:44] He had running lanes.
[00:55:45] But those running lanes were going to close quick.
[00:55:47] Right.
[00:55:48] You know.
[00:55:48] And.
[00:55:49] It's.
[00:55:52] A good defense can stop that.
[00:55:55] Right.
[00:55:56] Agreed.
[00:55:57] You know.
[00:55:58] So.
[00:56:00] Yeah.
[00:56:00] Like.
[00:56:00] It's great to get.
[00:56:02] Like.
[00:56:02] It's great against a defense that.
[00:56:04] That sucks.
[00:56:06] Yeah.
[00:56:07] But also.
[00:56:08] Like.
[00:56:08] If you look at.
[00:56:08] Like.
[00:56:08] When he has those major runs.
[00:56:11] Both fields and.
[00:56:13] Lamar Jackson.
[00:56:14] It was usually with a lead.
[00:56:17] Yeah.
[00:56:18] Yeah.
[00:56:19] Like.
[00:56:19] There was one in Miami a couple years ago.
[00:56:21] That Jackson had.
[00:56:22] Where like.
[00:56:23] It was like.
[00:56:24] You know.
[00:56:24] They were like.
[00:56:24] Oh.
[00:56:24] This is something out of the Madden game.
[00:56:25] Well.
[00:56:26] He was also up.
[00:56:27] In that game.
[00:56:28] Like.
[00:56:30] He's a great front runner.
[00:56:32] Like.
[00:56:33] I'll always say that.
[00:56:34] Until he proves it otherwise.
[00:56:35] He will.
[00:56:35] He's a great front runner.
[00:56:37] But like.
[00:56:38] When you put him in a position.
[00:56:39] Where he's going to make a big play.
[00:56:41] He seems to.
[00:56:42] To pucker up.
[00:56:43] Every single time.
[00:56:44] Yeah.
[00:56:46] Weird.
[00:56:48] So.
[00:56:49] It's.
[00:56:49] You know.
[00:56:49] I hate to quote Skip Bayless.
[00:56:51] But I just don't think he has a clutch gene.
[00:56:53] Yeah.
[00:56:54] Like.
[00:56:54] There are guys who have that.
[00:56:55] Like.
[00:56:55] There are guys who thrive in that situation.
[00:56:57] Who want that situation.
[00:56:59] I want the ball in my hands.
[00:57:00] With two minutes left.
[00:57:01] Down.
[00:57:02] Down four.
[00:57:02] Yeah.
[00:57:03] Have to go.
[00:57:04] 75 yards for a touchdown.
[00:57:06] Ben was one of those people.
[00:57:07] Yeah.
[00:57:07] Ben was one of those guys.
[00:57:08] Montana was one of those.
[00:57:09] Montana.
[00:57:10] John Elway.
[00:57:11] Yeah.
[00:57:11] Dan Marino.
[00:57:13] You know.
[00:57:13] I mean.
[00:57:13] There's a.
[00:57:14] Steve Young.
[00:57:15] There's an endless list of guys.
[00:57:17] But there's also an endless list of guys who.
[00:57:20] They.
[00:57:21] Didn't want that.
[00:57:22] Yeah.
[00:57:23] I think.
[00:57:24] Jackson is one of those guys.
[00:57:26] That like.
[00:57:26] I don't think he is comfortable in those situations.
[00:57:29] Yeah.
[00:57:30] When the game is on the line.
[00:57:31] It's on your shoulders.
[00:57:33] You falter.
[00:57:35] Yeah.
[00:57:37] Yeah.
[00:57:37] I hear you.
[00:57:38] You know.
[00:57:43] Indeed.
[00:57:43] Indeed.
[00:57:53] So.
[00:58:01] Um.
[00:58:07] Are you ready in fantasy football as well?
[00:58:10] Am I ready?
[00:58:11] Yeah.
[00:58:13] Yeah.
[00:58:14] Yeah.
[00:58:15] I think so.
[00:58:20] Um.
[00:58:21] What do you got this week?
[00:58:24] This week?
[00:58:25] Yeah.
[00:58:26] What do you got?
[00:58:29] Oh.
[00:58:29] You've got Thad.
[00:58:31] Oh.
[00:58:31] You gotta beat him.
[00:58:32] He's predicted to win.
[00:58:34] No.
[00:58:34] You are.
[00:58:35] Am I?
[00:58:36] Yeah.
[00:58:36] You're.
[00:58:36] You're.
[00:58:37] You're scheduled to score 99.84.
[00:58:40] You schedule to score 99.53.
[00:58:46] I got off the schneid last week.
[00:58:48] Montgomery did well for me.
[00:58:49] St.
[00:58:49] Brown's had a couple bad weeks here.
[00:58:51] Yeah.
[00:58:54] But.
[00:58:56] Had to pick up a running back.
[00:59:02] Is.
[00:59:04] Nixon's out next week.
[00:59:05] I didn't want Spears.
[00:59:07] Yeah.
[00:59:08] And so I picked up this.
[00:59:11] Garendo.
[00:59:13] San Francisco running back.
[00:59:14] Yeah.
[00:59:14] Well I mean.
[00:59:15] With uh.
[00:59:16] Both out.
[00:59:17] Yeah.
[00:59:18] Both.
[00:59:19] Are out.
[00:59:20] Yeah.
[00:59:20] Yeah.
[00:59:21] I know.
[00:59:21] Yeah.
[00:59:22] I knew um.
[00:59:24] McCafferty was out for the season.
[00:59:26] Yeah.
[00:59:26] And there are other guys out as well.
[00:59:28] Yeah.
[00:59:29] So.
[00:59:29] He's the starter.
[00:59:30] So.
[00:59:32] I'm gonna go with him.
[00:59:34] He was free.
[00:59:35] So.
[00:59:35] Yeah.
[00:59:35] I mean it's a good.
[00:59:36] That to me is a good pickup.
[00:59:37] Yeah.
[00:59:38] So we'll see.
[00:59:39] Yeah.
[00:59:40] Yeah.
[00:59:40] So.
[00:59:44] I didn't start Judy last week.
[00:59:46] I should have.
[00:59:47] Oh.
[00:59:47] Trust me.
[00:59:48] I always have that.
[00:59:50] That guy sitting on your bench where you're like.
[00:59:52] He scored like 30 points.
[00:59:53] Yeah.
[00:59:54] Yeah.
[00:59:55] But yeah.
[00:59:55] I mean.
[00:59:56] It looks pretty good.
[00:59:57] I don't know.
[00:59:57] We'll see.
[00:59:59] I don't.
[01:00:01] I don't put too much into it.
[01:00:02] Cause that's when I started fucking up.
[01:00:04] So I just.
[01:00:05] You know what I mean?
[01:00:06] Yeah.
[01:00:07] No.
[01:00:07] I get that.
[01:00:08] But league wise.
[01:00:09] I think I'm in fourth now.
[01:00:10] Yeah.
[01:00:11] You're in fourth.
[01:00:14] It's amazing.
[01:00:15] Jeff.
[01:00:17] Who.
[01:00:17] Who.
[01:00:17] Who had the worst draft.
[01:00:19] Is in number one.
[01:00:20] Ten and three.
[01:00:22] Yeah.
[01:00:24] The floppy beavers and atomic blonde are both nine and four.
[01:00:27] You're in fourth place at eight and five.
[01:00:30] Yeah.
[01:00:31] Thad and myself are bringing up the basement.
[01:00:32] Both at three and ten.
[01:00:34] Nice.
[01:00:35] Yeah.
[01:00:38] Yeah.
[01:00:39] I got off the schneid last week.
[01:00:40] I was able to pull.
[01:00:41] Pull one out against.
[01:00:43] Old Otter.
[01:00:44] Yeah.
[01:00:45] So.
[01:00:46] Hopefully it's puts me back.
[01:00:47] I don't.
[01:00:48] I like to have a nice little upswing to end the season.
[01:00:50] I hope.
[01:00:51] Nice.
[01:00:52] You know.
[01:00:52] Yeah.
[01:00:52] I don't want to like.
[01:00:53] Look like a complete doofus.
[01:00:57] It's just frustrating.
[01:00:58] Cause it's like every week.
[01:00:59] It's like,
[01:00:59] you know.
[01:01:00] Yeah.
[01:01:00] You scored pretty much the robot points that you're supposed to.
[01:01:03] And.
[01:01:04] The person you're playing scored 150.
[01:01:07] Fuck.
[01:01:09] Fuck.
[01:01:11] Yeah.
[01:01:11] You're scoring points.
[01:01:12] Yeah.
[01:01:13] That's what.
[01:01:13] I mean.
[01:01:14] That's what's frustrating.
[01:01:15] It's like.
[01:01:16] If my team stunk.
[01:01:18] And I was like.
[01:01:19] You know.
[01:01:19] Oh.
[01:01:19] I gotta make this move.
[01:01:20] This move.
[01:01:20] You know.
[01:01:21] No.
[01:01:22] I mean.
[01:01:23] Like I said.
[01:01:23] Like a couple weeks ago.
[01:01:24] Like.
[01:01:24] I can't think of anything I would.
[01:01:26] I could do differently.
[01:01:27] Right.
[01:01:28] You know what I mean.
[01:01:28] Like.
[01:01:29] From a draft standpoint.
[01:01:30] All the way through.
[01:01:31] Like the people I've picked up here and there.
[01:01:33] Like.
[01:01:34] It's just.
[01:01:34] It's been.
[01:01:36] A year of bad luck.
[01:01:39] Right.
[01:01:40] So.
[01:01:41] Boswell's got me a lot of points this year.
[01:01:43] Yeah.
[01:01:43] Yeah.
[01:01:44] He has.
[01:01:46] Well.
[01:01:47] I had.
[01:01:47] I've had.
[01:01:48] Houston's kicker.
[01:01:49] I.
[01:01:50] I.
[01:01:50] I.
[01:01:50] Had to drop him for this week.
[01:01:52] So.
[01:01:52] I hope I can get him back.
[01:01:53] Yeah.
[01:01:54] But.
[01:01:55] He's been another one.
[01:01:56] Like.
[01:01:56] You know.
[01:01:57] He'll like kick like three field goals too.
[01:01:59] From 50 plus.
[01:02:00] Yeah.
[01:02:00] So you'll get like.
[01:02:02] 15 points out of your kicker.
[01:02:03] Yeah.
[01:02:04] Boswell's been very consistent for me.
[01:02:05] Yeah.
[01:02:06] Yeah.
[01:02:07] Yeah.
[01:02:08] You've had a few games from him where it's like.
[01:02:09] You know.
[01:02:10] Well.
[01:02:10] I think.
[01:02:11] You've had like 20 points.
[01:02:12] Like 26 points or some shit.
[01:02:13] Yeah.
[01:02:14] Like.
[01:02:15] Those games where he's like.
[01:02:16] He's kicked like six field goals.
[01:02:18] And like three of them were from 50 plus.
[01:02:20] So you're like.
[01:02:21] You're getting like.
[01:02:22] You know.
[01:02:22] 22 points out of them.
[01:02:23] Yeah.
[01:02:24] That's fantastic.
[01:02:25] Yeah.
[01:02:25] You know.
[01:02:28] Ian's highest performer.
[01:02:30] Chris Boswell is kicker.
[01:02:31] You know.
[01:02:32] Yeah.
[01:02:32] I mean.
[01:02:33] I got a good team.
[01:02:34] Yeah.
[01:02:35] I mean.
[01:02:35] It didn't start out that way.
[01:02:37] Because everybody was fucking injured.
[01:02:38] Yeah.
[01:02:38] Yeah.
[01:02:39] But.
[01:02:39] I mean.
[01:02:39] I have.
[01:02:44] Mahomes.
[01:02:45] St.
[01:02:45] Brown.
[01:02:45] Nakua.
[01:02:47] Montgomery.
[01:02:49] Yeah.
[01:02:49] Firemouth.
[01:02:50] I picked up Judy.
[01:02:52] I have Joe Nixon.
[01:02:53] Flowers.
[01:02:54] Yeah.
[01:02:57] Tied in for Chicago.
[01:03:00] Which isn't bad.
[01:03:01] And then.
[01:03:02] Singletary.
[01:03:03] Boswell.
[01:03:04] I just stayed with Chicago's defense.
[01:03:06] Yeah.
[01:03:06] I had Denver's defense the other week.
[01:03:08] I didn't.
[01:03:08] I just pick up defenses as I go.
[01:03:10] Yeah.
[01:03:11] I usually do that too.
[01:03:12] Unless I pick up like.
[01:03:13] I mean.
[01:03:13] I've had the Steelers defense all year.
[01:03:14] Yeah.
[01:03:15] Well.
[01:03:15] Why pick up another?
[01:03:17] Exactly.
[01:03:18] Like you know.
[01:03:18] Even when like they had a bye week.
[01:03:20] I kind of.
[01:03:21] Drop somebody else.
[01:03:22] To keep the Steelers defense.
[01:03:23] Yeah.
[01:03:24] You know.
[01:03:24] So yeah.
[01:03:25] Unless you have like a high end defense.
[01:03:27] Same with tight end.
[01:03:28] Like.
[01:03:29] Unless you've got one of the high end ones.
[01:03:31] Yeah.
[01:03:31] Like why you.
[01:03:32] Muth comes in for me though.
[01:03:34] Yeah.
[01:03:34] A lot of times.
[01:03:35] Sometimes he'll have.
[01:03:36] There's been a couple weeks where he's had low games.
[01:03:37] But every once in a while he'll pull a big game out.
[01:03:39] Where it's like.
[01:03:41] He'll get a couple touchdowns.
[01:03:43] You know what I mean?
[01:03:44] Yeah.
[01:03:44] He'll get in double digits.
[01:03:45] And that's what I want.
[01:03:46] Yeah.
[01:03:49] Let's move on to super fan Thad's right in this week.
[01:03:53] There's actually some stuff worth talking about here.
[01:03:55] He says.
[01:03:59] I love the trains.
[01:04:00] I've been to the one in McKeesport before.
[01:04:03] Well.
[01:04:03] I mean that's good.
[01:04:04] Good for you.
[01:04:06] I will tell you why I drank the lemonade at Kennywood.
[01:04:09] I stopped drinking pop.
[01:04:11] I have not had one since the Super Bowl.
[01:04:13] Okay.
[01:04:14] Good for you.
[01:04:15] Still.
[01:04:16] Lemonade.
[01:04:19] Yeah.
[01:04:20] Like there's got to be something else to drink.
[01:04:22] I mean I understand not drinking pop.
[01:04:25] For those of you outside of Western PA.
[01:04:27] Soda.
[01:04:28] Yeah.
[01:04:29] But.
[01:04:30] Like I don't know.
[01:04:31] Like I just.
[01:04:32] I feel like.
[01:04:37] Lemonade.
[01:04:38] Outside of summer is just.
[01:04:41] Problematic.
[01:04:42] Yeah.
[01:04:42] Yeah.
[01:04:43] That's just me.
[01:04:47] He passed himself on the back for telling us that Deontay Johnson was garbage.
[01:04:51] Good.
[01:04:52] Good for you.
[01:04:54] I don't think Deontay Johnson would have been garbage here though.
[01:04:58] Why.
[01:04:58] I think.
[01:04:58] And again.
[01:05:00] How do we like.
[01:05:03] Pat.
[01:05:04] Mike Tomlin the back even further.
[01:05:06] Like.
[01:05:07] He kept Deontay Johnson in check.
[01:05:11] He kept Antonio Brown in check until he couldn't.
[01:05:14] Yeah.
[01:05:15] And like.
[01:05:16] You got to wonder like what George Pickens would be like outside of Mike Tomlin's influence.
[01:05:21] You know like.
[01:05:22] Holy hell.
[01:05:24] Right.
[01:05:24] I mean like.
[01:05:25] I feel.
[01:05:26] One.
[01:05:26] I feel like.
[01:05:27] I feel like wide receivers.
[01:05:29] Anymore.
[01:05:30] Are.
[01:05:32] Divas to the extreme.
[01:05:34] Right.
[01:05:34] Number one.
[01:05:36] But.
[01:05:37] Two.
[01:05:38] Like.
[01:05:38] If you don't have a coach that will.
[01:05:40] Wrangle them in.
[01:05:42] Yeah.
[01:05:42] Then they do become problems.
[01:05:44] Yeah.
[01:05:45] Like Deontay Johnson does in Carolina.
[01:05:47] Like he doesn't.
[01:05:48] Like.
[01:05:50] For whatever reason.
[01:05:51] He's like.
[01:05:51] I ain't going into this game.
[01:05:52] And with the Ravens.
[01:05:53] Like.
[01:05:54] Well.
[01:05:55] Yeah.
[01:05:55] You're.
[01:05:56] You're a problem.
[01:05:57] Yeah.
[01:05:57] You know.
[01:05:57] So.
[01:05:59] It's like.
[01:05:59] It's weird.
[01:06:00] Like.
[01:06:01] John Harbaugh.
[01:06:02] Can't wrangle him in.
[01:06:03] Yeah.
[01:06:03] Like I do.
[01:06:04] I feel like.
[01:06:06] Wide receivers is a whore.
[01:06:07] A problem.
[01:06:09] And unless you have somebody that can wrangle them in.
[01:06:12] They're going to just going to be.
[01:06:14] An uncontrollable problem.
[01:06:15] Right.
[01:06:16] Yeah.
[01:06:16] So.
[01:06:18] Um.
[01:06:25] Second half surge for super fan thad.
[01:06:30] Super fan thad will win the fantasy football this year.
[01:06:33] Well no.
[01:06:33] You.
[01:06:33] You.
[01:06:33] You.
[01:06:34] You are basically eliminated from the playoffs that.
[01:06:36] I hate to break that to you.
[01:06:37] Like.
[01:06:37] I don't know where you're getting your information from.
[01:06:40] But there's like.
[01:06:41] No chance.
[01:06:43] No chance in hell.
[01:06:45] That you will.
[01:06:47] Make the playoffs.
[01:06:48] Right.
[01:06:49] Um.
[01:06:57] I'm having trouble thinking of something to give Sean shit about this week.
[01:07:00] Maybe I will take the week off unless Sean has some ideas for me.
[01:07:03] Here.
[01:07:04] I'll give you one.
[01:07:05] I drove past Kennywood yesterday.
[01:07:08] Um.
[01:07:10] I didn't even notice the lights.
[01:07:12] Nice.
[01:07:13] I was like.
[01:07:15] I.
[01:07:15] I.
[01:07:15] I.
[01:07:15] I was driving along.
[01:07:17] You know.
[01:07:17] I.
[01:07:17] I was going down the hill towards the waterfront.
[01:07:19] I'm like.
[01:07:20] Oh shit.
[01:07:20] I drove past Kennywood.
[01:07:22] It was like 930.
[01:07:24] It's like the lights were probably still on.
[01:07:26] Yeah.
[01:07:26] Didn't even notice.
[01:07:29] Um.
[01:07:32] Sean.
[01:07:32] Have you watched any Christmas movies yet?

[01:10:30] That's not a real Christmas movie.
[01:10:31] Where's your Christmas spirit?
[01:10:32] Well.
[01:10:32] I don't have Christmas spirit.
[01:10:33] Obviously.
[01:10:35] You're dead inside.
[01:10:36] I'm dead inside.
[01:10:37] Until I watched Flo.
[01:10:38] Yeah.
[01:10:39] You know.
[01:10:41] That.
[01:10:41] That beautiful.
[01:10:42] Heartwarming story about a cat.
[01:10:43] In a flooded world.
[01:10:44] Was.
[01:10:45] What it took.
[01:10:46] Right.
[01:10:46] But.
[01:10:48] But like.
[01:10:49] Really.
[01:10:49] Like.
[01:10:49] I'm not.
[01:10:50] Like.
[01:10:50] I've.
[01:10:51] I've never been.
[01:10:52] Like.
[01:10:53] A Charlie Brown Christmas.
[01:10:54] Like.
[01:10:54] Like.
[01:10:54] You know.
[01:10:55] Linus doing the whole.
[01:10:58] You know.
[01:10:58] Reading of the Bible.
[01:10:59] I mean.
[01:11:00] That's fantastic.
[01:11:01] And.
[01:11:02] You know.
[01:11:02] Yeah.
[01:11:03] But like.
[01:11:04] I'm.
[01:11:04] I'm not somebody.
[01:11:05] Like.
[01:11:05] Particularly.
[01:11:06] Like.
[01:11:06] I'm not somebody.
[01:11:07] Who's going to go back.
[01:11:08] And watch.
[01:11:10] It's a wonderful life.
[01:11:13] You know.
[01:11:13] White Christmas.
[01:11:14] Or.
[01:11:15] Whatever other.
[01:11:18] Like.
[01:11:18] Bob Hope.
[01:11:19] Bing Crosby.
[01:11:20] Whoever you want to.
[01:11:21] Give to me.
[01:11:22] Right.
[01:11:23] Like.
[01:11:23] That's just not me.
[01:11:25] Like.
[01:11:25] The only.
[01:11:26] Like.
[01:11:26] And again.
[01:11:27] Like.
[01:11:27] Probably the only other real exception.
[01:11:28] I would make.
[01:11:30] Would be.
[01:11:31] A Muppet Christmas Carol.
[01:11:33] Right.
[01:11:34] Because that was like.
[01:11:36] They went to Michael Caine.
[01:11:38] Like.
[01:11:38] Mike.
[01:11:38] You know what.
[01:11:39] We appreciate you doing the movie.
[01:11:41] I'm sure it's a paycheck for you.
[01:11:43] And we understand.
[01:11:44] It's Muppets.
[01:11:46] You know.
[01:11:46] Just.
[01:11:47] Have fun with it.
[01:11:48] Right.
[01:11:48] Michael Caine was like.
[01:11:49] I am going to act.
[01:11:51] The shit.
[01:11:51] Out of this.
[01:11:53] And he does.
[01:11:54] Like.
[01:11:55] Like.
[01:11:55] He.
[01:11:56] He acts the shit.
[01:11:58] Out of that movie.
[01:11:59] Yeah.
[01:11:59] You know.
[01:11:59] And it's like.
[01:12:00] This is fucking Muppet Christmas Carol.
[01:12:02] And he is like.
[01:12:04] Giving an A plus.
[01:12:05] Performance.
[01:12:06] How the fuck does this happen?
[01:12:07] Right.
[01:12:08] You know.
[01:12:08] But that's what makes that movie work.
[01:12:11] Is like.
[01:12:11] How good.
[01:12:12] Is the same thing with like.
[01:12:13] Tim Curry.
[01:12:15] Muppet Treasure Island.
[01:12:17] Right.
[01:12:17] Like.
[01:12:18] He's playing it for real.
[01:12:20] With these Muppets.
[01:12:21] You know what I mean?
[01:12:22] Yeah.
[01:12:23] Everybody else is like.
[01:12:24] You know.
[01:12:24] Hamming it up.
[01:12:25] And having a good time.
[01:12:26] And.
[01:12:26] And Tim Curry is like.
[01:12:28] You know.
[01:12:28] I am going to give the performance of a lifetime.
[01:12:31] I guess.
[01:12:32] Kermit the Frog.
[01:12:33] Yeah.
[01:12:33] Right.
[01:12:33] You know.
[01:12:34] And it's the same thing Michael Caine did with a Muppet Christmas Carol.
[01:12:36] Yeah.
[01:12:37] So it's like.
[01:12:38] Yeah.
[01:12:39] That's tough.
[01:12:39] That's tough to beat.
[01:12:40] Yeah.
[01:12:40] You know.
[01:12:41] Yeah.
[01:12:41] You.
[01:12:42] You can give me any other version of Scrooge you want.
[01:12:44] With the exception of Scrooge.
[01:12:46] A Muppet Christmas Carol is.
[01:12:48] The far superior version in my opinion.
[01:12:50] Yeah.
[01:12:50] That's good.
[01:12:51] Yeah.
[01:12:51] You know.
[01:12:52] But no.
[01:12:53] I'm sorry.
[01:12:54] I got.
[01:12:55] Christmas music.
[01:12:56] If you want to get on Christmas music.
[01:12:57] Like.
[01:12:58] Other than.
[01:13:00] Christmas Baby Please Come Home.
[01:13:02] I am not a fan of Christmas carols.
[01:13:05] Yeah.
[01:13:05] You know.
[01:13:06] I guess like the one song for me that like.
[01:13:09] I'll listen to it Christmas Eve.
[01:13:11] Yeah.
[01:13:11] Like.
[01:13:12] I'll find a version.
[01:13:13] From like the Letterman show.
[01:13:15] From like.
[01:13:16] 20 years ago.
[01:13:17] And.
[01:13:18] I'll play that.
[01:13:19] And.
