99
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: to bring that up Brown Johnny. Can you imagine if

100
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: he wanted to unionize, can you imagine, oh no, we.

101
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 2: Can't have it. I mean, that would be the equivalent

102
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 2: of you know, Seinfeld when Kramer goes and goes on

103
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 2: strike for like twenty years. Yeah, I mean that might

104
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 2: have been where Johnny was last year. I mean I

105
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 2: could have swore he went away for a little while.

106
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: He did go away for a while, and you know what,

107
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: hand up? That one's on me. I thought, here's an

108
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: opportunity to try somebody different. Jojo Damsey good friend of mine.

109
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: I thought, you know what, let's bring him in the mix,

110
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: see what's up. And then, you know what, some some

111
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: dogs can't play. You know, some dogs can't play. Sometimes

112
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: you take them out and you throw the ball and

113
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: they don't know what to do with it. So that's

114
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: that's kind of what happened. And then, you know, then

115
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 1: you bring Johnny back and things just start to flow again.

116
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: Suddenly we're back in the top two hundred and the

117
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: Itune comedy charts, and things are feeling good again.

118
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I've known you guys north of twenty five years,

119
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 2: and yep, I think this first time I ever seen

120
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 2: Johnny cry. It's probably the nicest thing you've ever said

121
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 2: to him.

122
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: You know what, That's probably true.

123
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: I mean because by saying that, you know, Jojo Ramsey

124
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 2: or Bobo Ramsey or Bobo you know can't hunt. I mean,

125
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 2: you're kind of implying that. I mean, hey, I are

126
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 2: a good friend. Johnny could hunt.

127
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: I you know what he does hunt. And I also

128
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: want to say this about Jojo because he is I

129
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: do consider him a dear friend of mine, dear friend

130
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: of the show, dear friend of mine personally. Yeah, okay,

131
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: I you know, I switched. I switched to companies. I'm

132
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: working for a new company now in the day job.

133
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: And I spent five weeks, not far from a place

134
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: that I know he lives. Do you think I saw

135
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: him once? No? No, I didn't, so jojo. If you're listening,

136
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: and I don't know if he listens, I really don't know.

137
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: If you're shaking your head, no, I'm assuming he does not.

138
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 2: I don't think he gets Wi Fi in his living

139
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: under the works basement. Oh okay, so.

140
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: All right, Well, if he ever, like you know, eats

141
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: at a McDonald's and catches Wi fi and pops on

Speaker 2: It's a very realistic trophy. Yeah, top top notch trophy design.

157
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 2: It's it's in the shape of a microphone. I actually

158
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: started speaking into it as soon as I saw it,

159
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 2: and that was the expectation that I had. Was uh,

160
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 2: And then I tried biting it because I thought that

161
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 2: maybe the trophy was also cake. Yep, uh and it's no,

162
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 2: it's solid. I think solid. I think I chipped a tooth.

163
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: Next year, Actually, Johnny check on the insurance, make just

164
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: make sure we're good here. Eric's biting shit. I don't

165
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen. No, you know what, the trophy's great.

166
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: I'm excited for Levetti. He had a great twenty twenty

167
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 1: four on the pod. And you know what, maybe next year,

168
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: maybe next year we'll make it into like some kind

169
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: of cupcake or something. And then you know, when you

170
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: you bite down and.

171
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,719
Speaker 2: Do you see the Travis calse eating the football? No?

172
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 2: Was it a gig? Yes?

173
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: I would assume it was a gig.

174
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 2: I mean part of me.

175
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: Was it on his show or what was it?

176
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 2: It was? So it was on the Netflix, the Netflix

177
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 2: Christmas games.

178
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: Oh, I watched the game, but I didn't after the game.

179
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: After the game, it was like the players of the

180
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 2: game they got they got the overcoat that goes over

181
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 2: the pads, like the big one that looks like Santa.

182
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 2: And then they also got handed footballs, but the footballs

183
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 2: were actually cake. So Kelsey like breaks his open, breaks

184
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 2: it in half and then just starts chowing down on

185
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 2: the inside and mahomes, you know, it was just like, oh,

186
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 2: that's cool, and you know it doesn't do anything right.

187
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 2: You know, he's on a diet, permanent diet. But yeah,

188
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 2: I mean Kelsey was all into it. I mean he

189
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 2: was about to retire.

190
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: I didn't see it. He is going to retire. I

191
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: didn't see it because I watched the football. I do

192
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 1: enjoy the football, and I could care less about the

193
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. You don't want to outside of the

194
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: football as just people, you know, because I hate the Chiefs,

195
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: So I hate watch them watching football because as a

196
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: Chargers fan, it strikes me nuts. But then I don't

197
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 1: want to see them outside of the football, so I

198
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: must turn the channel or something.

199
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 2: And how I know that you are blinded by the

200
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 2: hatred here is that, you know, we have a long

201
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 2: standing conversation going on about how much I hate football

202
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,560

00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 2: the cassette thing. Yeah, but yeah, most of the people

227
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,320

236
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: nineties would have thought that was pretty freaking cool. So like,

237
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: actually me yesterday probably would have thought that was pretty cool.

238
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: The dude. The dude only had one shirt. Jeremy only

239
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 2: had one shirt through all the high school. And but

240
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 2: it had the strongest neck, Like that neck was unterrible.

241
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 2: And because all the other shirts that you had you

242
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 2: tear them open. Yeah, I mean, because that was just

243
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 2: like you come into first period in the morning and

244
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 2: you just rip your shirt off and known for it.

245
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: You know when you're when you're a true American and

246
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: you rip your shirt off when you know, when you

247
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: introduce yourself to a room. So that's that's just kind

248
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: of how I know my America. I don't know about you.

249
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 2: You know, you know, before we get it now, I

250
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 2: think you were really pale too, like right now or

00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 2: before well, I think always.

252
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: Okay, I was like, if if you really want to

253
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 1: go into why I'm pale right now, I'm bleeding constantly.

254
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know the or you know,

255
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 1: if the audience cares about that about my medical condition

256
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 1: right now, but I'm you know what, I'm on the brink.

257
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: I'm on the brink. So today's episode we actually so

258
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: we got I got my football expert here and I'll

259
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: get into why he's an expert, but we got my

260
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: full b expert. We're gonna We're gonna go through the

261
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: NFL playoffs. The NFL playoffs start this week, and that's exciting.

262
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 1: We're gonna kind of re rank the top seven all

263
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: the playoff teams for the AFC and NFC. Eric did

264
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: the NFC. I'm gonna do the AFC, and then you

265
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: know what, chaos ensues from there. But before we get

266
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: to that, there was there was like a couple of

267
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: things that well, really, yeah, one thing really, I thought

268
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 1: it was interesting, and I was just kind of wondering

269
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: kind of what your opinion was on it. It has

270
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: nothing new do with football, but has everything to do

271
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: with American because the h you've heard of Kim Jong un?

272
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm aware, I'm aware of his work. Yeah.

273
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: Well, so he just banned hot dogs from North Korea, right,

274
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: And it's likely because it's you know, hot dogs is

275
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 1: you know, American culture, and he hates all things American culture, right.

276
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: And I thought that was interesting because like, we have

277
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: so many other things that need, like cancer to put

278
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 1: away for good.

279
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 2: But are you saying that hot dogs deserve to be cancered?

280
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: No, I hot dogs should not. Why not have the

281
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: hot dog? Like hot dogs are good item? Why do

282
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: that when you could do these other things? So I

283
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: had I had a couple of things, and I was

284
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: curious what you thought, because there's other things that are

285
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: considered American culture that could get rid of, and he

286
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: would be able to do his little thing that he's

287
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: doing and we would be like, oh, you did it,

288
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: like you know, so then both sides would be this

289
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: hot dog thing. I mean, everybody, you've.

290
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 2: Looked into it a lot more than I have. I

291
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 2: have because I saw it and I was just like, well,

292
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 2: it's North Korea State owns everything. Like they must be

293
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 2: having like a bron sale, like North North Korea Mark,

294
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 2: like the store that they all go to. Yeah, they've

295
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 2: got a ten for ten braught deal. And you know what,

296
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 2: it's like, hot dogs are illegal until we get through

297
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 2: our back backs are plus. I mean, I mean they're

298
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 2: they're only a like love of this. I mean, obviously

299
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 2: it's summer over there right now, right is that true?

300
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: Is that a thing?

301
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 2: No? No, No, that's that's the exact opposite.

302
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: You want to be Australia, I questioned it.

303
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 2: Australia is having summer right now, not North Korea. But no,

304
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe they just got to get through all

305
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 2: that backstock. They're like this, these sausages, like these broads,

306
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 2: they gotta go on the grill this weekend or they're

307
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 2: they're going to be ruined.

308
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: You've traveled Europe a few times, but you've never been

309
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: in Australia, right.

310
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 2: No, No, Australia is a totally different place than Europe.

311
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: I understand that, but you never been. Is that something

312
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: where you want to go someday? Or is it too scary?

313
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 2: Too scary?

314
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: I'm scared of shit, that thing of Australia. Yeah, oh yeah.

315
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: If the giant ass spiders don't kill you, if the

316
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: bugs that have fifty the eyes and thirty legs and

317
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: muscles don't kill you, then the kangaroos that are ripped,

318
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: that are ripped with twenty four inch pythons like a

319
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: prime hohole coken don't kill you, well, then the muscular

320
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: guys will. I mean, there's just pcular guys. Yeah, those

321
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: guys are built. I don't know why Australian dudes are

322
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: more built than than we are, but they are. They'd

323
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: kill you and I no, no, oh yeah, we wouldn't

324
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: stand a chance in a fight with an Australian dude.

325
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 2: No, you just gotta bring the knife.

326
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: No, they talk about taught us that. Nope, you can't

327
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: possibly have a knife and fight a twenty twenty five

328
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: Australian guy. That would have worked in the nineties, That

329
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: doesn't work today. I'm just I'm telling you, I'm scared

330
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: to go there. That's all I'm saying.

331
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 2: I've got some some friends of mine that went to

332
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 2: not Australia but New.

333
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: Zealand and you haven't heard from since.

334
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 2: No, they made it back okay, because they had this

335
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 2: great story about how they had like rented a van. Yeah,

336
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 2: and basically it was kind of one of those conversion vans,

337
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 2: like no windows like on the back, but like it

338
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 2: had room in there for them to basically like sleep

339
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 2: in it, so they like camped out in it. Cool,

340
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 2: but based the wall of it they did not know

341
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 2: before they picked it up, but had a naked lady

342
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 2: on the side of their van. It's just like it's

343
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 2: like one of those like yeah, I mean, what are

344
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 2: you gonna do? You're in New Zealand right, Like is

345
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 2: this their last band? You ask for a different band?

346
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 2: Like or do all the bands? I like to think

347
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 2: that all the bands. I like to think that I

348
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 2: have that on there.

349
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: It's kind of like the U haul vans and just

350
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: have like smiling working kids, mom and dad on there, like.

351
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 2: This is a New Zealand version.

352
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:49,479
Speaker 1: This is New Zealand's version, which is a naked lady. Yeah,

353
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: and all the all the people who work at the

354
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: rental van place. They they all have like those sailor

355
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: tattoos that has like the naked lady with giant boobs. Yeah,

356
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: it's kind of like it's an initiation. When you work there,

357
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: you get the tattoo's.

358
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 2: Well they uh, you know, when somebody complains about it,

359
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 2: they're like, oh Americans, Eh, I don't know. That was

360
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,959
Speaker 2: more of a Canadian accent. That really wasna the Kiwi accent.

361
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: We're all over the globe, bear, and we are all

362
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: over the globe. So in North Korea they banned the

363
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 1: hot dogs give me you took me off task. They

364
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 1: banned the hot dog. I'm gonna give you. I'm gonna

365
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: give you a couple. I'm gonna give you a couple

366
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: of things of an American culture that I think would

367
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: have been more appropriate to cancel. That would have been

368
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: like we would have been like oh no, and then

369
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: you know, we would have been okay. But it would

370
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: have been enough for Kim Jong won to be like

371
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 1: I did it, you know, and he was stuck it

372
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:46,719
Speaker 1: to us.

373
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 2: The equivalent of like when we banned French fries and

374
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 2: the exactly France, we know where to hurt you.

375
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, I think that if Kim Jong wun would

376
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: have said no longer in North Korea. Is that kind

377
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: of the accident that they use. I don't know what

378
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 1: kind of accent they use.

379
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 2: It overl there. I never heard that dude talk.

380
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: I guess I haven't really either. Remember that time Trump

381
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: met him? He had to have spoken then, right, He

382
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: didnt just write notes?

383
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 2: Maybe he kind of spoke like the Baine and the

384
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 2: Batman movies, like WHOA three? Ding's President Trump?

385
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: Baine didn't talk like that?

386
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 2: Does he does he talk like that? I don't think

387
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 2: he did. He's kind of got that high pitched voice.

388
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: No, I remember not being able to understand what Bain

389
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: was saying in that movie.

390
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, because he kind of had the accent.

391
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: Too, I don't think.

392
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 2: So, go ahead and cut this cut this part out.

393
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, Johnny, cut this, cut this part out. We'll just

394
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 1: restart right here. So, yeah, one of the things that

395
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: Kim Jong ung could cut and just be like, here's

396
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 1: no longer in North Korea and this is my Kim

397
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: Jong lund no longer allowed in North Korea. When you

398
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: are upset about something with somebody, you cannot say that

399
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: they can't do that. That's a hip of violation because

400
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: in America we like to blame people that they can't

401
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: do that because that's a hippo violation, no matter what

402
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: it is.

403
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 2: That's just a.

404
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: Simple fact that you don't know what hippa you know

405
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 1: what hippo violation exactly is. But it's it's kind of

406
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: a part of American culture now to blame everything that

407
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: it's a hip of violation.

408
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 2: I'm still kind of caught up on that accent.

409
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, the accent was good. The accent was good.

410
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 2: Kind it was like almost like a babu bot kind

411
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 2: of you know, but not you know, not nearly annunciating

412
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 2: at all.

413
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: I'm not going all the way, but I'm kind of there.

414
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: Do you hear a lot of people talking about hippa

415
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: oh constantly? Do you not like to hear people being

416
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: like you can't do that, Like when you're you know,

417
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, you gotta, you gotta Like athletes, you know,

418
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: you know, Joe Burrow's got that wrist injury. You know

419
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: that he's recovered from all season right, and he's you know,

420
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 1: people are like, oh, yeah, he's got that risk and

421
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: you can't you can't say that it's a hippo violation.

422
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: You can't talk about that.

423
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 2: That's just Kyle. Oh that was just I think that's

424
00:20:58,440 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 2: just your brother to ask him about that.

425
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: Uh. The second thing, and I think this is probably

426
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: the most important thing, and this is something that might

427
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: actually shock American culture. If Kim Jong wing was to

428
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: no More and it was like, what, this is the thing?

429
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: This is the line, you know, hot dogs one thing.

430
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: We're gonna keeping our hot dogs. This would have been

431
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: probably over the line. If Kim Jong would be like

432
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 1: no more in North Korea? Will you be able to

433
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: listen to the Hawk Tool podcast or talking about the

434
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: Hawk Tool?

435
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 2: Are they still making those? I thought she had gone underground.

436
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 2: I thought she was done.

437
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm.

438
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 2: Show. I'm so confused, Johnny, can we check the date?

439
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: Johnny wrote? Johnny wrote these jokes? Hey, Johnny, come on, dude,

440
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: you gotta come on, come on, We're here to talk football.

441
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: And then you know, yeah it was him. I don't

442
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,719
Speaker 1: even know to tell you that.

443
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 2: I mean, what do you suppose, like the newscast would

444
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 2: have to be over there, like just everybody in North

445
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 2: Korea is just like, oh yeah, hippa violations America Hawktua, like,

446
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 2: could you imagine how disjointed that would be? Here's here's

447
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 2: why I like, here's American Ambassador Haktua explaining, you know,

448
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 2: the incoming Trump administration as I'm.

449
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 1: As as I'm talking about, you know, and delivering these

450
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: all god awful jokes. I think this is a good

451
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: time to remind folks or let people know that you

452
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: can see meate the Omaha Funny Bone on April second. Whoa, yeah,

Speaker 2: You might just want to strike off the other topics

458
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 2: that we've hit on today, like let's leave Australia off

459
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 2: of their Brat's off of there.

460
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: That's not a bad idea. I I I hadn't even

461
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: begun to get into brought material. You think I mean

462
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 1: that could be.

463
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 2: I mean I think that's it could be.

464
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: It could be pretty good. I think I don't know.

465
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 2: America ready for it?

466
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 1: Is America ready? Absolutely not?

467
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 2: It was brat summer last summer. It was it could

468
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 2: be brought spring.

469
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: Yep, we could reuse all the old brat shit.

470
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 2: Just is that the audience that you're gonna be Spock

471
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 2: talking to with the funny ball. Yep, they'll just be

472
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 2: a sign sign up front that you got to put

473
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 2: up there and just be like f YI. Twenty twenty

474
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 2: four Brat Summer.

475
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 1: Well you saw. I don't know how dialed in you

476
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: are too, Like the grocery industry, but like Kroger and

477
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: Albertson's were trying to merge. Hey, Kroger was going to

478
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: buy Albertsons and.

479
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 2: Then Elbertson's is still in business.

480
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 1: It will yeah, yeah, good's that's the point. And it

481
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: was like three years of litigation of uh, you know,

482
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: the the government soon what I'm saying, it can't do that.

483
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: It ended up they can't. It was shot down, right,

484
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: they can't. They can't be too big. And Albertsons is

485
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: like pissed. They needed it. They needed Kroger to buy them.

486
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: They needed the money right just to stay afloat. And

487
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 1: I think Albertsons would be the exact type of company

488
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: that would buy and receive all the old brat promotional

489
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 1: materials and try to repurpose it a new brought summer

490
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: just to save a dime.

491
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,479
Speaker 2: That would fit too, because I mean, like Kroger, Kroger

492
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 2: likes to do the little animated yeah with the songs,

493
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 2: and you know, yes, they're obviously spending some money they

494
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,479
Speaker 2: are spending the marketing department. So yes, it would make

495
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 2: sense that Albertson's is throwing the leftovers at you. Sorry

496
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 2: to listening you, it's there that might love Albertson's.

497
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: Nobody does. That's silence that that silence is what makes

498
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: it guaranteed. Nobody was saying yeah, I do, Yeah, Jeremy, No, No,

499
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: you know.

500
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 2: Let's this is gonna be a trending topic. It's gonna

501
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 2: be Albertson's Nation versus.

502
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,159

Speaker 2: Also, I will say that remember when we were younger, Yeah,

522
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 2: many years ago, but vaguely.

523
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: I remember.

524
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 2: You know when you call somebody and you'd have like

525
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 2: a song for your ring tone? Yep, Like we'd be

526
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,479
Speaker 2: so disappointed in Kyle's like he's got nothing he had,

527
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 2: there's a ring, no individuality.

528
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, here's the deal.

529
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 2: There's nothing on there. There's nothing on there making me

530
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 2: want to stay on the line to talk to Kyle.

531
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: I don't want you to call He doesn't even want

Speaker 2: I don't want you to call me.

534
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: I don't want my phone to make any noise. I

535
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: wish I didn't have a phone. That's where we're at.

536
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: You could get rid of your phone. I wish, well

00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,920

539
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: I called you today, just right now, And the last

540
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: time before this I called you was when I called

541
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: you when I was recording the Bottom five podcast. That

542
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: was the last time I called you. Well, I know

543
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: that's why I almost didn't answer this time. I was like, nah,

544
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: there's no way he did it again.

545
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 2: And then he did it again.

546
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: I don't know what I did again. This is what

547
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: I do. I'm just constantly calling people height. So Eric

548
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: and I were here. I just delivered two awful jokes

549
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: that American culture in North Korea and Kim Junk. I'm

550
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: not even gonna like spoil it what it was, but

551
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: it was bad.

552
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 2: And then you know the reason we had to get

553
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 2: you involved here is we're doing our rankings, yes of

554
00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 2: you know, the best looking quarterbacks by division and conference,

555
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 2: and Jeremy put Joe Burrow beneath three of the Cleveland

556
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 2: Browns quarterbacks and we wanted to get your opinion on it.

557
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow is number one in the NFL.

558
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you.

559
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 2: Guys, even with this hair, his Billy ad hair, it's

560
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 2: good hair, it's good hair. What color is your hair

561
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 2: right now?

562
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 1: What color he is color his hair? What color is

563
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: your hair? Talking about what color is your hair right now?

564
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 2: We need to hair color?

565
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: Are you blind that we need to know? It's like

566
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm looking at my hair.

567
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 2: Begels. Fans are not impressed by Joe Burrow's hair.

568
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: I told my kids that when Jameis Winston was benched

569
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: because I'm a believer in mister Winston and when he

570
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:56,959
Speaker 1: got benched by the Browns, that that was my nine

571
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: to eleven. That was that was tragic to me, Like

572
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: I'll never forget. Hashtag never forget.

573
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 2: I don't think that works.

574
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: No, it works, Oh it works.

575
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 2: That's fair.

576
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: That's actually a good point, Kyle.

577
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 2: I was.

578
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: I really called we're going to be ranking are the

579
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: playoff teams? Eric and I are. But I wanted to

580
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: call you because I thought of you today. I saw

581
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: on the cover, you know, I like the USA today

582
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: and the the front page had President Joe Biden on

583
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: it and the headline was that he said that had

584
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: he actually run for reelection he would have won. And

585
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: I thought, and I thought of you, because I was like,

586
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: that's probably how the Bengals feel like. They they feel like,

587
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: if we would have gotten in the playoffs, we're winning

588
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: this whole freaking thumb.

589
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 2: I thought you were going to say that if they

590
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 2: actually would have played to be in the playoffs fall.

591
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, you guys gotta calm down. Here's the

592
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: deal with the Bengals.

593
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 2: I mean, they just they just sucked.

594
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: They just sucked, and they knew even getting in the playoffs,

595
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: they weren't beating anybody unless they played the Bills. They

596
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: would have beat the Bills, but then whoever they played

597
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: in round two they wouldn't have beat.

598
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 2: Doesn't it just suck?

599
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: We gotta watch crappy Harbaugh, Harders and what was wrong

600
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: with that freaking Darnold Vikings and just some trash teams

601
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. And you're gonna sit here and be like,

602
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna rank playoff teams. I think the playoff teams

603
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: are literally ranked, Like you just look, it's like there's one,

604
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: there's two. Like, I don't know how else to help

605
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: you on that one. Yeah, yeah, you're right, I'm not

606
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: disagreed with what he just said.

607
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 2: Really any of it, I mean, really taking the window

608
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 2: of the sales. He really did that left to talk

609
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 2: about it might just be time to go to dinner.

610
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: Do you think I was gonna defend the Bengals that

611
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: terrible year? No, I didn't think you would defend him.

612
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: I was expecting a little chuckle.

613
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 2: I do think that the bank for crying out loud,

614
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 2: help us, help us.

615
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: I don't host the comedy podcast.

616
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 2: That's not my job.

617
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: That's true, Johnny, you son of a bitch, Johnny.

618
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 2: You know what? This is why Kyle's podcast failed. The

00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna learn from this? And I that's when

622
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: I started laughing with me. Don't laugh with me and

623
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:34,080

Speaker 1: and we're actually looking at the trophy with the name already,

645
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: and I would have to do a whole thing where

646
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: I put tape over it and put a whole different

647
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: name on. But I yeah, it's uh, if it's not

648
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: Grand Pierson, this whole thing is a sham. And I

649
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: don't understand who's in charge. I'm not even gonna tell

650
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: you who it is because I don't want to ruin

651
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: the moment. But it's uh, it's gonna be big. And uh,

652
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: you know, Grant did. Grant did kill it, and he's

653
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: gonna kill it again when he when he comes back.

654
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: Oh he's not Shadow Band.

655
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 2: That's good to hear.

656
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: Oh No, I can't even remotely considered Penny Gray. He

657
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: brings good content.

658
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 2: Why is Johnny shaking his head? Like every time Kyle

659
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 2: mentions not being Shadow band, he shakes his head. I know,

660
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 2: every time you say Grant's going to be back on

661
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 2: the show, Johnny shakes his head.

662
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: Yep, that's just uh, that's kind of his personality. Honestly,

663
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: anytime I ask him something, just shakes his head. Well,

664
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: thanks for being on the show, Kyle, Yeah, thanks for

665
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: having me. Hey, if you're gonna drum, at least drum

666
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: to your own beat. Dude, that was so bad. I

667
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: just thought of that in the moment. I don't know.

668
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 2: You guys have fun alright?

669
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: Oh man, whose idea was it to call him?

670
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 2: Yeah?

671
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: You know that didn't work out.

672
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 2: He didn't seem very happy.

673
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: No, I thought the Bengals thing. I'd get more from him.

674
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: That's okay. You know what, you win some, you lose some,

675
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: sometimes you win some. It's the uh.

676
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 2: One would hope that, you know, one of the teams

677
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,399
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about will win something.

678
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, it's almost it's part of the

679
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 1: deal that one of these teams is gonna win the

680
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. For the twenty four to twenty five season.

681
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: What do you want to do NFC or AFC?

682
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,919
Speaker 2: First, well, I was thinking maybe we'd start at our

683
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 2: seventh ranked teams and just alternately, Yeah, we can do that, okay,

684
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,240
Speaker 2: and with our number one teams for each division.

685
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,879
Speaker 1: Yep, I'm down. Okay, so let's start. I'm we're gonna

686
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: start with you. We'll start with the seventh seed in

687
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 1: the NFC. So, for anybody who's not aware of what

688
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: it is that we're talking about, we're talking about the NFL,

689
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: the National Footballleague, the most popular sport in all of

690
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: the United States now.

691
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 2: After women's college volleyball, after.

692
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 1: Women's college volleyball, and after Caitlin Clark Clark games. Like

693
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of how it goes. It goes women's volleyball,

694
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: and it goes Kaitlyn Clark games, and and then.

695
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 2: It goes really get specific, you'd put Taylor Swift attended

696
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 2: NFL games just because.

697
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: It's like its own it's like a separate sub category.

698
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 2: But it's because you know she's going to notice the camera.

699
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 2: You know that she's gonna wave, she's gonna smile, or

700
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 2: just you know, sometimes just make eye contact with the

701
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 2: camera that's looking at her.

702
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: She loves a camera. She's never not liked a camera,

703
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: which is actually different than a lot of celebrities who

704
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: are like, get the camera out of my face. You know,

705
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: every time I put in their face, they're like, get

706
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 1: that out of my face. Like I'm here. It's a

707
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: you know, it's.

708
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 2: Part of that is why you've never been seen in

709
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 2: any of the paparazzi. That's right, magazines, that's right.

710
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: But someday, someday I'll be on the other side of it.

711
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 1: So we'll go through we're talking about the teams. This

712
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: is the deal. Kyle brought up a good point. The

713
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 1: NFL has already ranked these teams. They've already seen them, right,

714
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: but they see them in a very particular way that

715
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 1: they they rank them by division winners first, so it's

716
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: one through four on each side based on winning the division,

717
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: and then everybody else after that. That's where it gets

718
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,720
Speaker 1: interesting because you can have a team in a bad

719
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: division that wins a division who's top four, and then

720
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: you could have a team at the five seed who

721
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: has a better record than all of the teams that

722
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: are above them. I think we will talk about that

723
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: type situation in the NFE. So that's what's interesting about

724
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: how the NFL ranks their teams. And if you're a

725
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: casual fan, you are going to watch the first round

726
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: of the playoffs this weekend and go, why is this

727
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,959
Speaker 1: team playing a road game on Monday night? That's gonna

728
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: be one of the things we're gonna look at. And

729
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, you're right, that's weird. That's why we're

730
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: kind of reranking it just for fun and talk about it,

731
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,399
Speaker 1: you know, and then well the things will ensue from there.

732
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: But we are I call Erica a football expert, and

733
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 1: I mean that because he is the NFL demographic. He

734
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,879
Speaker 1: is the football fan that grew up watching football with

735
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 1: you know, a hardcore fan of one team. He attends games,

736
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: multiple games every season. He'll watch games every single weekend

737
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: and through the week too, I mean Thursday through Monday. Right,

738
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: spends money on all those things. Spends money on merchandise,

739
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: spends money betting, occasionally spends money on fantasy football, plays

740
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: fantasy football, die hard like. He is a football fan

741
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: through and through. Just that makes him an expert.

742
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 2: Don't go listen to our season preview.

743
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: That was funny if you listen to another show that

744
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: we have on the you know, on our network. I

745
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: guess a lot with the Bottom five podcast. I own

746
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: up to a lot of that. In the early weeks,

747
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, I thought the Bears were going to

748
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: be good this year. Hand up. I was wrong and

749
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 1: I was wrong in a bad way. So there is uh,

750
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: you know, we had some things right. But it is

751
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: fun to go back and listen to like that episode

752
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: and and just kind of look at all, right, what

753
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: were we thinking before one of the season we started?

754
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 1: And uh, yeah, you should listen to the archives. So

755
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna go through it, and if you're not a

756
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 1: football fan, I encourage you to continue to listen. Is

757
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,760
Speaker 1: that the banter alone is gonna be worth the price admission,

758
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: which is free. So, uh, number seven in the NFC,

759
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: So seven teams the first seed obviously got to buy.

760
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: So we're gonna as we're ranking this, which team did

761
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: we think.

762
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 2: This is going to be the worst team? The worst team?

763
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 2: This is in the in the playoffs?

764
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,240
Speaker 1: Right, So what'd you think? NFC?

765
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put the Packers. I'm gonna put the Packers

766
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 2: at that worst spot. M hm h. I think that

767
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 2: they're a little bit overrated this year coming into the playoffs,

768
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 2: just considering they got six losses. Five of them came

769
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,800
Speaker 2: to two against Detroit, two against Minnesota, one against Philly.

770
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: Uh.

771
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 2: They also loss of the Bears, who we've also acknowledged

772
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 2: are pretty crappy, and.

773
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 1: That was our first loss to them and quite some times.

774
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 2: Yes, Yeah, and I think even more damaging than the

775
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 2: loss of the Bears, they lost Watson in that game,

776
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 2: so they lost the closest thing that they have to

777
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 2: a number one wide receiver. I would like. I love

778
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 2: the fact that they're playing Philly in Week one. Yeah,

779
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 2: so hey, maybe they shocked the world and you know,

780
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 2: they managed to beat Philly. I think Philly's gettable for

781
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 2: reasons we'll cover later. But you know, either way, one

782
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 2: of the Green teams is gonna be gone.

783
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's good to get them out of the way.

784
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: Like I you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna really cover

785
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: the AFC, but I would agree with you. I had

786
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers at seven as well, and it

787
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: was they have some injuries creeping up on them right now,

788
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 1: and they just never played like a team that was

789
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,760
Speaker 1: in a dominant state you know that it just seemed

790
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: like they competed. And when I say they competed, meaning

791
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: they struggled at times against some really bad teams this year,

792
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 1: like the Bears you're talking about.

793
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 2: And that's there are of teams that become like the

794
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 2: sending football or the Monday night football like Darlings yep,

795
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 2: like collins Worth watches them for like two years. And

796
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,760
Speaker 2: that's where the Packers have been the last two years

797
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 2: is they've been like a very like, hey, they got

798
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 2: so much young talent. They've got like exciting quarterback, They've

799
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 2: got a great you know coach. But this year they

800
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,439
Speaker 2: just they did not have that they were a little off.

801
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 2: They're missing that piece on offense, and that the defense

802
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 2: does not look as good as it has.

803
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: No, No, I could see the Packers and they suck,

804
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 1: and they suck. I knew you were going to put

805
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:37,399
Speaker 1: the Packers at the bottom just strictly because your Vikings fan.

806
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 2: But I also was like, no, no, this is totally unbiased.

807
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 1: But they but I felt the same way. I'm just

808
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: like they are seven.

809
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 2: Like so here here's the other thing. And you'll hear

810
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 2: this for the Detroit Lions. When we talk about the

811
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:53,760
Speaker 2: and the Vikings. The NFC North had the easiest strength

812
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 2: to schedule this year. They played the AFC South, which

813
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:02,919
Speaker 2: was awful, and they played the NFC West which had

814
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 2: eh Like right, you know, there are teams that were

815
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 2: good for a while, there are teams that were bad

816
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 2: for a while. But it's still like kind of a

817
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 2: blas situation. I think if the NFC North was playing

818
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 2: the AFC North or the AFC West or you know,

819
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,479
Speaker 2: playing different divisions, I don't think you're gonna see three

820
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,720
Speaker 2: teams from that division in the playoffs. Like they all

821
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 2: all Detroit, Minnesota and Green Bay fed off of bad competition.

822
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just the schedule. Yeah, it's kind of how

823
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 1: it worked out well. Number seven in the AFC in

824
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: my opinion. And you know, and I've been to some

825
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 1: football games. I know, I kind of built you up

826
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: a little bit on your football resume. I've also been

827
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 1: to a couple of football games in my time. And

828
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: I host the Bottom Five podcast. If you haven't listened,

829
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 1: I give you the five worst teams in the NFL

830
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 1: every single week. It's the Bottom Five Podcast. This is

831
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 1: a team that I had in that bottom five for

832
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 1: a while there at the beginning of the season, and

833
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: they kind of ramped up. They got better week to week.

834
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: Defense did okay, quarterback rookie starting to figure some things out.

835
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: Looks it looked incredible last week, but against you know,

836
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: a Chiefs team that benched everybody, and I got the

837
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos in the seventh seed, and that's where they

838
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: live in reality as well. In the actual playoff rankings.

839
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: They are the seven. But Denver to me is a seven.

840
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,959
Speaker 1: They're a team that's snuck in. This is a team

841
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: that's playing really good at the right time, and they

842
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: won some games against bad opponents enough to kind of

843
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 1: build enough of a resume. I don't believe enough in

844
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback bo Nicks.

845
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 2: I think that probably you probably believe in them a

846
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 2: little bit more than like Joe Burrow or you know,

847
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 2: a quarterback that didn't make the playoffs.

848
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: Right, if you make the playoffs, Yeah, as far as

849
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 1: I'm concerned, if you didn't make the playoffs, you how

850
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: could you possibly believe, you know, if you're a teammate there,

851
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: how do you believe in them that they can lead you?

852
00:42:58,040 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 2: Right?

853
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: So, yeah, definitely bow Nicks over Joe Burrow. But but

854
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: with that being said, on his very team bow Knicks,

855
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: none of his teammates attended his birthday part So this

856
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 1: is a guy who doesn't even have the love and

857
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:16,919
Speaker 1: appreciation of his own team.

858
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:18,439
Speaker 2: Even Sean Payton didn't go.

859
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: He did not, So this is something that it concerns me.

860
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 1: I put him at the seven.

861
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 2: Again.

862
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: They're a playoff team, so something they're bad. I just

863
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: think they're the worst of the bunch, and I definitely

864
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 1: like the idea of them losing in round one.

865
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 2: I really dislike Sean Payton. I know you do so,

866
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 2: but I mean if you wanted to say like you

867
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 2: wanted to be the contrary, I mean, it's kind of

868
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 2: the same thing as the Green Bay. It's like I

869
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 2: think if you're another AFC team, you're like, hey, would

870
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 2: love it if maybe they do catch that lightning in

871
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 2: a bottle like you. Yeah, both the teams that we've

872
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 2: said so far, both of them could win that first matchup,

873
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 2: Like ye could beat Buffalo.

874
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:04,720
Speaker 1: That could be Buffalo.

875
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:05,760
Speaker 2: They could shock the world.

876
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: They could.

877
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 2: Neither of these two teams that we've said so far

878
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 2: could go the entire way.

879
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: No, no, but and if they did beat Buffalo, I

880
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:15,840
Speaker 1: think that just plays the advantage of another team in

881
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: the middle there to be able to make that next

882
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 1: step to a Super Bowl run and take on the Chiefs.

883
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: But like that's where, all right, the Broncos are gonna

884
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 1: The defense got to play incredible. Their special teams is good.

885
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 1: So it's like defense got to play incredible and they

886
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 1: have an okay defense, and then the special teams got

887
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: to play incredible and then bo Nicks no mistakes, right,

888
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just if they can do that and

889
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 1: the defense can shut down Josh Allen, maybe.

890
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 2: But maybe maybe if a foot of snow is gonna.

891
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 1: Be So yeah, that's my seven. I'll take the six

892
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 1: now AFC and will go to you. So then the

893
00:44:56,719 --> 00:45:01,919
Speaker 1: sixth seed in the AFC, in my opinion the Houston Texans. Now.

894
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:08,959
Speaker 1: The reason I say the Houston Texans they're they're really young,

895
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: they're really good, like they're they're a team that plays

896
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:18,240
Speaker 1: really well together, like they're well coached. Love ryans Man.

897
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 1: They're just not a team that I've ever and even

898
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 1: this season at all. And this is a team that

899
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 1: I thought going into the season. I said it on

900
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 1: our podcast that we did that this team is gonna

901
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: take a step back and they were gonna have kind

902
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 1: of that sophomore slump, and you know, CJ. Strout's not

903
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,439
Speaker 1: gonna be who he was. He had a great year.

904
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 1: The team itself is gonna take a step back at

905
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,720
Speaker 1: someone else is gonna win the division. That didn't happen,

906
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 1: But they didn't look as dominant as they were a

907
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: year ago when they really caught people by surprise. Instead

908
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:51,760
Speaker 1: it seemed like they played very well in a really

909
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: bad division. And they've made it this far and now

910
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,439
Speaker 1: they got to take on the Chargers. And and that's

911
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,959
Speaker 1: not me saying the Chargers are this elite, you know team,

912
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 1: But I think now it's big boy football and it's

913
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 1: going to be good on good and it's going to

914
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: be all right, what can you do? And I just

915
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 1: don't think this team's prepared for it.

916
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I mean it goes back to what I

917
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 2: was saying earlier about NFC North feasting off the AFC South. Yeah,

918
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 2: like I'm ninety percent sure that. I mean, I know

919
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:22,359
Speaker 2: that Detroit and Minnesota beat Houston, and I'm ninety eight

920
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 2: percent sure that the Packers did too. So it's just like,

921
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 2: all right, they went zero for three on that, So

922
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:30,360
Speaker 2: all right, their records already depressed. Plus they were the

923
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 2: number one seeds, so they have to play the other

924
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 2: number one seeds, the Chiefs, the Bills. Like this, It's

925
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 2: like they did have the decks stacked against them.

926
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 1: Yep.

927
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 2: But if you're a great team, you're going to win

928
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 2: some of those games. And it seemed like they lost

929
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 2: those games and had.

930
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 1: To count on those and they fed on everybody and.

931
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 2: Colts and Jacksonville games. Right.

932
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: So I like Houston as a sixth and that's saying

933
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 1: something because when I before Denver clinched their spot, I'm like,

934
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: Houston is the worst playoff team in this un charge.

935
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,240
Speaker 1: Please Chargers win that five seed because I want Houston.

936
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 1: And then Denver gets in and I'm like, oh, maybe

937
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 1: Denver's the worst of the bunch. But I mean it's

938
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 1: sill good football team. You make the playoffs, you're good, right,

939
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 1: I mean, you're you're good enough to be in the

940
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:15,320
Speaker 1: playoff so in the tournament.

941
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 2: But I didn't eve think about it until now. It's

942
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 2: just like, yeah, that'll be the fun thing from being

943
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 2: a football fan of watching that game is going to

944
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 2: be DeMarco Ryan. Yeah, Jim Harbor, Jim Harbaugh, both like

945
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 2: hard on the sleeve, like John the whole game, talking

946
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 2: like locked in, like this isn't like a passive coach.

947
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 2: This isn't you know coach just arms crossed, like sitting

948
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 2: there quiet, you know, let's see what happens. Like these

949
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 2: are both like these motivators.

950
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 1: Two great coaches, two very well coached teams, two franchises

951
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: that these coaches took over shitty situations. And you know one,

952
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 1: I mean Houston's was a unique situation right where it

953
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: was just kind of imploding because of the situation with

954
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 1: the quarterback back and whatever and everything in the front office.

955
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: So they had to completely rebuild. But he flipped it

956
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,360
Speaker 1: in the heartbeat, right. No one saw that coming. But

957
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 1: they drafted really well. They had a strategy that everybody's

958
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:12,839
Speaker 1: well coached. Kudos to them. They was incredible what they did.

959
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 1: Then the Chargers, here's a team stocked with talent, stocked

960
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: with every position, with guys that are making big time

961
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 1: money that you know that should be playing at a

962
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 1: certain level, and then they suck. You had four games,

963
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 1: so then it's like, for.

964
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 2: A second there, I thought you'd moved on to your

965
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,400
Speaker 2: like number five team, just like is this is this

966
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 2: the current Chargers, Like, is this what's happening now? Well?

967
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 1: I just thought that was incredible a job that Jim

968
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 1: Harbaugh did, was he you know, he's a guy that

969
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 1: came into a team with a lot of heavily paid

970
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 1: guys and talented guys that have been through some shit.

971
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 1: And look what he's done with just his his personality.

972
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,959
Speaker 1: It is enthusiasm and just connecting with guys.

973
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 2: Rememberredible. Just the fact that even when he came in

974
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 2: on the first day, before the players had even shown up,

975
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 2: he had like statements that he wanted like painted on

976
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:09,439
Speaker 2: the walls of the gym, and they had like four

977
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 2: spots to like write like sayings on there, and he

978
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 2: had all four of them like picked out. And it's just,

979
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:17,239
Speaker 2: you know, that's awesome. How do you do that with

980
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 2: a straight face? Right? Like, I mean, you've managed people.

981
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:23,839
Speaker 2: I managed people. It's tougher to motivate people than you'd think, yep.

982
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 2: And if you throw drivel out there, they're gonna roll

983
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 2: their eyes and they're going to carry about their day,

984
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 2: you know, So how do you get them to care?

985
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 1: He told this whole football team that he remembers the

986
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 1: day he was born, And how do you not love that?

987
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 1: How do you not believe in it? Because it could

988
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:42,360
Speaker 1: very easily be like Okay, who's this idiot?

989
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 2: You know?

990
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: But instead it's like, Okay, here's coach, you know, he

991
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:47,840
Speaker 1: he's goes deep.

992
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 2: Next time we have a Harball Bowl. I want them

993
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 2: I want them to ask John, not only do you

994
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 2: remember when Jim was born, but do you remember when

995
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 2: you were remember? Was this like a Harbaugh traite?

996
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 1: Yeah? They need they really should talk about that. All right,

997
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 1: the sixth seed in the NFC?

998
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:07,320
Speaker 2: What do you got? I would go with the Rams here, Okay,

999
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 2: I know that this is a team that again kind

1000
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 2: of gets probably that Sunday night football bump of just hey,

1001
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 2: they won a Super Bowl a couple of years ago.

1002
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:17,880
Speaker 2: They still have a lot of those familiar faces in there.

1003
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 2: But when you get down to it, Stafford's older, their

1004
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 2: offensive line is not that great, and their defense has

1005
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 2: spots and holes in it. So this is definitely a

1006
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 2: team that snuck through with the problems at Seattle, Arizona

1007
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 2: and the forty nine ers have had. They're probably a

1008
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:42,359
Speaker 2: year ahead of where you know, McVeigh, you know, had

1009
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 2: them on the rebuild. How do you rebuild a defense

1010
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 2: after winning, you know, going all in for a Super Bowl?

1011
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:53,399
Speaker 2: How do you rebuild it after Aaron Donald leaves? But yeah,

1012
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 2: I do think that this is this is a team

1013
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:58,319
Speaker 2: like would I be shocked if they beat the Vikings? No,

1014
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 2: But a lot of their disadvantages probably play a little

1015
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 2: bit more to the Viking strengths or a lot of

1016
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:07,719
Speaker 2: the strengths that are in here, which is just, hey,

1017
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 2: how are you going to hold up to a pass

1018
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 2: rush when your quarterback is immobile? And you know, can

1019
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:17,759
Speaker 2: you hold anybody under twenty five or thirty points that's

1020
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 2: left in here? So I think that's that's gonna be

1021
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 2: some some major knocks against them. They're probably lucky to

1022
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:26,719
Speaker 2: have made, you know, the price of admission.

1023
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:31,320
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting because guys like stafford age is

1024
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 1: a big deal, right, you know, he's you know, but

1025
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 1: it seems like these elite guys that get to a

1026
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 1: certain level with the right coach can use kind of

1027
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:45,839
Speaker 1: the mental part of the game to their advantage, you know,

1028
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 1: and then they're not just an old quarterback, you know,

1029
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:50,880
Speaker 1: like they just can kind of outsmart you and outplay

1030
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,279
Speaker 1: that way. And he seems like he's doing a lot

1031
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 1: of that, and mcveigh's obviously he's just a brilliant guy.

1032
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 2: Yep.

1033
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 1: But it seems like that's kind of like the thing

1034
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:00,840
Speaker 1: he's like you were saying, there's just a lot of

1035
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 1: weaknesses on this team and the lines one, all of them,

1036
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,720
Speaker 1: and like how do they make that work? It's like Stafford,

1037
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:07,399
Speaker 1: so it makes it work.

1038
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 2: Though. Everything that I've said is true. But there's also

1039
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 2: a team that put forty four up against the right,

1040
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 2: the Bills yep, a month and a half ago.

1041
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:16,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.

1042
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 2: Now they followed that with three games where they didn't

1043
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 2: break twenty points and then they sat there, guys last week.

1044
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 2: So it's like you kind of have like both of

1045
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 2: those things in there.

1046
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:26,439
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1047
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 2: So it's just like, yes, nobody would be shocked if

1048
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 2: they go, you know, pound for pound with any team

1049
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 2: in the NFC right now. It's just kind of again

1050
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 2: kind of hey, same thing as these seventh place ones.

1051
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 2: You win that game, you're probably not winning another one.

1052
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting because the that division, it should

1053
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 1: have been the Niners. Right before the season started. It

1054
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 1: should have been the Niners. Injury after injury after injury,

1055
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,319
Speaker 1: internal fighting, all the things that you and I talked

1056
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 1: about at the beginning of the season, like what could

1057
00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 1: tear down the Niners. It's this The only thing they

1058
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 1: get tear down that night er is they are the

1059
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 1: team this year. Those things happened, and then the other

1060
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:09,759
Speaker 1: teams in the division aren't quite there, right, the Seahawks,

1061
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, and then you come to the Rams. So

1062
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:16,319
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, with all the weaknesses

1063
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:18,799
Speaker 1: that all the teams have, what carries you to the top,

1064
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 1: and it's good great coaching and McVeigh is a great

1065
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 1: coach and Super Bowl winning coach and he's and then

1066
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:27,759
Speaker 1: there you go. That's what takes you to the top

1067
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 1: and a bad division. And that's another example where we were

1068
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:32,800
Speaker 1: just talking about with Houston. When you're in a bad division,

1069
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:35,960
Speaker 1: what's the difference maker? Great coaching, boom, there you go.

1070
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 1: So it's it's kind of interesting. I think you're right.

1071
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:40,959
Speaker 1: The Rams aren't the they aren't one of the top

1072
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,279
Speaker 1: teams by any means. They're a good team that they

1073
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 1: can make things happen. They score four to four against

1074
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 1: the Bills, right, But.

1075
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 2: If Puka went off for two hundred yards and three touchdowns,

1076
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:50,240
Speaker 2: nobody would.

1077
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: Be surprised exactly. But if they lost, no one's going

1078
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 1: to be surprised. So yeah, no, that makes a lot

1079
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 1: of sense. All right, number well five, where do you

1080
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 1: want to go here? Oh yeah, you're going number five here.

1081
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 2: So and this is going to be a team that

1082
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 2: probably sounds a lot like the Houston Texans from last year.

1083
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:10,760
Speaker 2: So we got the commanders at this next spot, which

1084
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,239
Speaker 2: is a situation where you you have a team that

1085
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,320
Speaker 2: everybody coming into the year is just like the talent

1086
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:21,279
Speaker 2: level is not there. You add the superstar quarterback in there,

1087
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 2: they feast off a fourth place schedule and they get

1088
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:30,759
Speaker 2: into the dance. I mean I put them above the

1089
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:34,800
Speaker 2: Rams just for the fact of I mean Jay Daniels, yeah, quarterback,

1090
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:37,319
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, And I mean they've they've got some you know,

1091
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:40,920
Speaker 2: offensive weapons out there you know as well with them.

1092
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, I would put them in this you know,

1093
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:49,759
Speaker 2: next spot. Uh. You talk about like the coaching and

1094
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:51,799
Speaker 2: it's just it's kind of funny because you have Klingsbury,

1095
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:56,359
Speaker 2: the offensive coordinator out in Arizona for years, can't do anything. Yeah,

1096
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 2: you know, even with you know, I think it was

1097
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 2: Texas was a tech or yea, yea, you know again,

1098
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 2: kind of a five hundred coach with a great offense.

1099
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 1: Yep, incredible. Well hey, I mean Patrick Mahomes, Yeah yeah, and.

1100
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 2: Him and Jayde Daniels have managed to build up this

1101
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:14,720
Speaker 2: offense that I think there's been at least two games

1102
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 2: here in the last like five where you're just like,

1103
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,839
Speaker 2: the Commanders have lost and then they score like three

1104
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 2: touchdowns in the fourth quarter and all of a sudden,

1105
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 2: they're like back into it. So they've got this burst

1106
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 2: potential to their offense. But you know, again, they're they're

1107
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:32,839
Speaker 2: not going to be hosting a game in here. How

1108
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 2: does a rookie? How does bow Nicks? How does Jayden

1109
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 2: and Daniels? How do these guys react to going on

1110
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 2: the road in the playoffs? Everything on the line? You know,

1111
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:44,319
Speaker 2: can they handle it or you know, do they pull

1112
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 2: a donoald in, you know, Turtle in the biggest game

1113
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 2: of the year.

1114
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 1: Well he'll he'll rebound, certainly, But yeah, no, it's the Commanders.

1115
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 1: I enjoyed them more when they were called the football team.

1116
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 1: I just want to put that out there. I thought

1117
00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:00,319
Speaker 1: that was the greatest name that could ever be kind

1118
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 1: of just fit. Would love if they go back to that.

1119
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:06,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if they'll ever consider this. Sounds like

1120
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 1: if they do consider a name change, it'll be back

1121
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 1: to the Redskins. But I love the idea. Yeah, it

1122
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:14,839
Speaker 1: just changed it again. Yeah, I love the idea of

1123
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 1: going back to the football team. But the Commanders, they

1124
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:20,400
Speaker 1: are a fun story, you know, with the quarterback, the

1125
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 1: rookie coming in and just completely bringing alive their offense

1126
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:27,040
Speaker 1: and the team and the excitement there. And it kind

1127
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 1: of all started with that game kind of early in

1128
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 1: the year against Chicago. Chicago looked like they were on

1129
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,240
Speaker 1: a little bit of run. Maybe they're gonna be turning

1130
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:39,359
Speaker 1: things around, and then you know, they keep their eye

1131
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 1: off the ball on a hail Mary Washington wins the game.

1132
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 1: They never look back, right, they go on to tear

1133
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:51,720
Speaker 1: the Bears just completely implode from there. But no, it's awesome.

1134
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:53,919
Speaker 1: I think it's fun to see teams like this get

1135
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:55,920
Speaker 1: in and like you're saying, the Houston, that makes a

1136
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:59,439
Speaker 1: lot of sense the comparison. I don't see Commanders making

1137
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 1: a run, yeah, but it would be cool if they

1138
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:04,680
Speaker 1: want a game. I just don't see this.

1139
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 2: Will also be one. We're doing our preview episode in

1140
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 2: eight months. Yeah, that will kind of need to keep

1141
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 2: that Houston comparison in there before. Oh yeah, the Commander

1142
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:17,200
Speaker 2: is yeah, definitely the you know, if not the best,

1143
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 2: the second best team in this division exactly.

1144
00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:23,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, and yeah, that's a good point.

1145
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 1: You just brought the division. When you get to play

1146
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys a couple.

1147
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 2: Of times a year, that helps a lot on the Giants.

1148
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:32,480
Speaker 1: And the Giants a couple of times a year.

1149
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 2: I mean, I think I saw like in the since

1150
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:37,040
Speaker 2: the Giants Super Bowl in like twenty twelve, it's like

1151
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 2: them and the Jets have like the two of the

1152
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 2: worst three records in football. Yeah, because there's basically I mean,

1153
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:45,600
Speaker 2: the guy was making the point. He was like, it's

1154
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 2: probably time that we stop acting like the Giants are

1155
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 2: on a different level than the Jets, because they're very,

1156
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 2: very similar like that. It's been a long time since

1157
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 2: the Giants have.

1158
00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:57,439
Speaker 1: No they're brothers and they're they're living in the same

1159
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:02,160
Speaker 1: house in many different ways, and that's where, yeah, we

1160
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 1: gotta stop playing like there's something more than they are.

1161
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 1: All right, Number five, the five seed in the AFC,

1162
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 1: I've got the Kansas City Chiefs, the two time defending champions,

1163
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:16,240
Speaker 1: the actual in reality one seed in the NFL. They've

1164
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 1: only got two losses on the year, and that last

1165
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 1: one came in the last week when they benched all

1166
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 1: the starters and just got destroyed by Bowneck on the broncost.

1167
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 1: This is a Chiefs team that if you watch, I

1168
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 1: watch a lot of Chiefs games. You watch Chiefs games.

1169
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 2: I've seen some Chiefs games.

1170
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 1: We're always on Primetime, right, so we're all watching Chiefs games. Okay,

1171
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 1: even if you're not a Chiefs fans, you're watching them.

1172
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 1: This is not a good football This is a well

1173
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 1: coached team, Andy Reid. This has gotta be his greatest

1174
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 1: team like coaching accomplishment of what he's doing. He's got

1175
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 1: stars not playing like stars.

1176
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 2: Yep.

1177
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 1: He's pluging play guys and things are happening. And even

1178
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:57,720
Speaker 1: their star kicker that they paid all this money in

1179
00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 1: the offseason, the big Maga guy, he he was hurt

1180
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 1: for part of it, and then he came back and

1181
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:06,240
Speaker 1: then he couldn't make extra points. Like It's just they're

1182
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:08,920
Speaker 1: kind of like piecing together things. Obviously, when you have

1183
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes a quarterback, you're always in the game, right,

1184
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 1: But this is just watch the game. They're not that good.

1185
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:17,720
Speaker 1: Like this is just the worst one seed I've ever

1186
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 1: seen this almost.

1187
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 2: Like when you're like, all right, well, how does this

1188
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 2: compare to you know, my fifth fifth place team there

1189
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 2: was the Commander Commanders, and we talk about all right, hey,

1190
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:27,680
Speaker 2: the belief that probably came out of getting that Hail

1191
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:30,439
Speaker 2: Mary ye, like, hey you get that hail Mary pass, Like, hey,

1192
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 2: maybe maybe we're never out of a game, right, So

1193
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:37,680
Speaker 2: how much of this Chiefs team is just the beliefs? Yeah?

1194
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 2: And then the previous two Super Bowl wins just like, hey,

1195
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 2: no matter what happens, we're always going to figure out.

1196
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 1: And this isn't me saying they don't have great players,

1197
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:48,160
Speaker 1: because they have great players and they have great coaches

1198
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 1: and everything about them, you know, and the two time

1199
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 1: defending champs, for God's sake, So I'm not putting that down.

1200
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is the performance hasn't been there. And

1201
00:59:57,320 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 1: they've got legends, They've got Hall of famers on this team.

1202
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Tight end Travis Kelcey that isn't playing up to his contract.

1203
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:05,919
Speaker 2: That's that was kind of one of the damning things

1204
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 2: that I saw this last week. I saw like an

1205
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 2: article talking about I was talking about Tyreek Hill possibly

1206
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 2: forcing his way out. Yeah yeah, like, oh, well, could

1207
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:15,160
Speaker 2: we do a Chiefs reunion? And it was like the

1208
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:19,080
Speaker 2: argument for the Chiefs reunion was like, well, Rice Rashi,

1209
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 2: Rice is probably not going to be ready at the

1210
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 2: beginning of the season. And then they're like, Hollywood Brown

1211
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 2: isn't signed for next year, and it's just like, Hollywood

1212
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:34,000
Speaker 2: Brown's played two games this year. Yeah, that's that's your

1213
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 2: you know, that's your year depending on is a a

1214
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 2: small wide receiver in his seventh year that has never

1215
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 2: hit it big, But that's your offensive weapon.

1216
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:46,440
Speaker 1: And I think you nailed it when when your entire

1217
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 1: team has something to believe in and it's like, all right,

1218
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:50,960
Speaker 1: the confidence is there that were never out of it

1219
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 1: no matter what because of X Y z if Patrick

1220
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 1: Mahomes is on the field, they have that belief and

1221
01:00:57,720 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 1: they should have it right because he's got the resume.

1222
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 1: But there's gonna be a time here and it's gonna

1223
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:07,680
Speaker 1: happen in this playoffs where they don't win, where it

1224
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 1: doesn't add up and it's over and that's okay. They

1225
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 1: had their run, but three time is not gonna happen.

1226
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:16,640
Speaker 1: This is not of the three years of the last

1227
01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:20,120
Speaker 1: two championship teams. In this one. This is above and beyond,

1228
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:23,560
Speaker 1: even though their records incredible. This is above and beyond

1229
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:25,560
Speaker 1: the worst team those three.

1230
01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 2: The Chiefs winning would require basically your sixth or seventh

1231
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 2: place team or your fourth place team that you've got

1232
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:35,600
Speaker 2: on your list.

1233
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 1: To go and win.

1234
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:38,160
Speaker 2: They would need to win, yep, because the Chiefs have

1235
01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:40,840
Speaker 2: that buy and hey, they just need to win that

1236
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 2: one game against a subpar opponent and there all of

1237
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:46,000
Speaker 2: a sudden in the AFC Championship game and then who

1238
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:46,560
Speaker 2: knows what.

1239
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 1: And then who knows what, and that's but that's so

1240
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:48,960
Speaker 1: they do.

1241
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:51,000
Speaker 2: They do have a path. But they have a path.

1242
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 2: It's and very unlikely.

1243
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:56,680
Speaker 1: And it's one of those things too where Okay, people

1244
01:01:56,720 --> 01:01:59,400
Speaker 1: will say, and they've they've said it loudly this year

1245
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 1: that they've had some officiating things swing their way. Well,

1246
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:05,280
Speaker 1: that happens in every game. That happens every season, that

1247
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 1: happens with multiple amounts of teams. Just watch the games, right,

1248
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 1: and this happens.

1249
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:11,760
Speaker 2: It's it's probably one of the most boring sports.

1250
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 1: Takes, right, So it's that's not real, like that there's

1251
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 1: no officiating, you know, thing with the with the Chiefs.

1252
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 1: But you watch the games and you're like, okay, here

1253
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 1: we go again. That's just a matter of the game.

1254
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 1: So I'm not putting that into into contention now, Will

1255
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 1: I say that maybe in the playoffs against a team,

1256
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:31,480
Speaker 1: close game at the end of the game and then

1257
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:33,640
Speaker 1: a big call comes and it goes the Chiefs way,

1258
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:36,480
Speaker 1: sure that could happen, and that doesn't mean that that

1259
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 1: was Like why so I don't I don't believe in that.

1260
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:44,280
Speaker 2: It's it's like it's like Lebron or Jordan or Kobe

1261
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:45,920
Speaker 2: or any of these guys when they would catch the

1262
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:48,280
Speaker 2: foul like obviously the refs watching the.

1263
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:51,480
Speaker 1: Best player out there. Yep, that's always gonna happen.

1264
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 2: Darnold gets his head, twist it off, and you know

1265
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 2: it doesn't get the face mask call in the Vikings

1266
01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:00,240
Speaker 2: first match against the Rams, and it's just like, well, yeah,

1267
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:01,040
Speaker 2: he's Sam Darnold.

1268
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:01,680
Speaker 1: What's the same.

1269
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes probably gets that call.

1270
01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:06,920
Speaker 1: And what's the saying, isn't it like a squeaky wheel

1271
01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:11,320
Speaker 1: eats the cheese or something like that like that, And yeah, no,

1272
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 1: squeaky mouse gets squeaky mouse. Okay, because Mahomes is squeaky wheel,

1273
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 1: get gets greased. Okay, Well, mahomes is he's not afraid

1274
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 1: to talk. He's not afraid to go and talk to

1275
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 1: the rest and be like, hey, this guy's watching.

1276
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:26,800
Speaker 2: Real Philip Rivers energy in that.

1277
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 1: Record does that's the Acy West baby, That's how they play.

1278
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:32,560
Speaker 1: It's different football. So uh yeah, I've got the cheese

1279
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 1: of five and I stand behind it, you know what.

1280
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:38,560
Speaker 1: I consider them lower, but I'm like, yeah, they're I mean,

1281
01:03:38,560 --> 01:03:40,560
Speaker 1: that's a good team and they're very I mean, as

1282
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 1: any read this is his best coaching.

1283
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:46,840
Speaker 2: I'm I I could have I could have made an

1284
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 2: argument that you're I think probably your number four team

1285
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:53,800
Speaker 2: probably could have went under there. Honestly, your number four

1286
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 2: team probably could have been the number seven even lower. Correct,

1287
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:59,360
Speaker 2: So I do think and kind of when we were

1288
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 2: approaching this, like doing a little bit of research, yeah,

1289
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:05,480
Speaker 2: it was like even though we've kind of disregarded all

1290
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:08,160
Speaker 2: the teams so far, like the NFC has definitely I

1291
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:11,160
Speaker 2: think got the sexier teams this year as far as

1292
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 2: just storylines and what's going on.

1293
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:20,120
Speaker 1: I mean, just the fact well I think, yeah, yeah,

1294
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:22,520
Speaker 1: top down they do, because you could almost take every

1295
01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 1: team in the NFC seven and say, all right, there's

1296
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:29,520
Speaker 1: a reason why on all of them, and then you

1297
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:31,880
Speaker 1: go to the AFC, and yeah, maybe they're not as sexy.

1298
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:34,680
Speaker 1: But I do think the tippy top has a lot

1299
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:38,760
Speaker 1: more to say than almost any almost any I mean,

1300
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:40,440
Speaker 1: there's one team at the top of the NFC that

1301
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:43,160
Speaker 1: probably has the story of all stories, but the but

1302
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:47,440
Speaker 1: the AFC, the tippy top couple of teams has some

1303
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 1: incredible storytelling there.

1304
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:50,680
Speaker 2: And I feel like we might have we might even

1305
01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 2: had this conversation back in before our preview what we

1306
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:56,560
Speaker 2: were talking about, like just the imbalance, like quarterbacks from

1307
01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:59,760
Speaker 2: the conference, because I think if you took all the conferences,

1308
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:03,040
Speaker 2: you would obviously say the AFC should be the better one,

1309
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:07,280
Speaker 2: just because it's got Mahomes, it's got Lamar, it's got Burrow,

1310
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 2: it's got Herbert, it's got you know, like the list

1311
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:12,440
Speaker 2: goes on and on. In the NFC side, it's a

1312
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:15,960
Speaker 2: little bit more. I mean, who you're gonna put up there.

1313
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:18,400
Speaker 2: Younna put golf, You're gonna put Jalen Hurts, Well, that's

1314
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 2: you're gonna put those over any of those guys that

1315
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 2: I just.

1316
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:23,480
Speaker 1: Said, Well, that's the thing you look at, you know,

1317
01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 1: just look at the teams that made the playoffs in

1318
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 1: the a f C. I'm not gonna count bo Nicks

1319
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 1: into that range. You know, somebody attends his birthday party.

1320
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 1: I'll start talking, but I'm not gonna talk about it

1321
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:35,200
Speaker 1: till then.

1322
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:36,000
Speaker 2: C J.

1323
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:39,360
Speaker 1: Straut, he's pretty freaking good. Yeah, could you could you

1324
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 1: put him into that range where he's exciting? Patrick Mahomes

1325
01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:49,440
Speaker 1: certainly right, Russell Wilson on the back end, but probably

1326
01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 1: right at least this year.

1327
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:53,880
Speaker 2: We'll give him this year and from like week four

1328
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:54,960
Speaker 2: to eight or whatever.

1329
01:05:55,520 --> 01:06:00,240
Speaker 1: But justin Herbert, you know, I mean, Josh Allen, you

1330
01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:02,800
Speaker 1: just go on and on. I mean, there's there's all

1331
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:04,800
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks in the AFC. There are just so much fun.

1332
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:06,480
Speaker 1: And then yeah, it's a little different on.

1333
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:08,400
Speaker 2: The NFC side, but I would say at the NFC side,

1334
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:10,880
Speaker 2: it seems like the teams are probably more complete, like

1335
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:17,440
Speaker 2: there's more competitors in there. Yeah, yes, okay.

1336
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:19,000
Speaker 1: All right, so where do we go? We talked about

1337
01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:20,919
Speaker 1: the chiefs. All right, I'm gonna go to you then

1338
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:24,680
Speaker 1: with the four seed in the NFC.

1339
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:32,160
Speaker 2: Okay, and Wow. And I'm actually looking at my details

1340
01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:36,320
Speaker 2: here and I'm actually missing a team, which is which

1341
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:38,360
Speaker 2: is a little embarrassing a point to get in here.

1342
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:41,160
Speaker 2: So I'm glad that you did mention that there were

1343
01:06:41,240 --> 01:06:43,600
Speaker 2: seven teams so that I could say Tampa Bay here.

1344
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:45,800
Speaker 2: I was. I was ready to jump into the top three.

1345
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:51,320
Speaker 2: That's it. And I don't even know. I don't even

1346
01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:53,760
Speaker 2: know anything about this team because honestly know that I'm

1347
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:56,480
Speaker 2: thinking about them, I probably would have put them a

1348
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:59,440
Speaker 2: little bit lower. But we got Tampa Bay the forgotten

1349
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:01,320
Speaker 2: NFC South team.

1350
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:04,920
Speaker 1: I was wondering from why you had Tampa Bay so high,

1351
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:07,680
Speaker 1: like I've got Tampa Bay as my sixth seed.

1352
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:11,520
Speaker 2: Look going on my extensive notes too, I didn't put

1353
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:16,080
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay on it. They're they're the forgotten team. I

1354
01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:28,680
Speaker 2: do like the Philippus. How how long is this episode?

1355
01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:31,040
Speaker 2: Can I just talk through the rest of this episode

1356
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:33,680
Speaker 2: and just get get to the end of it and well, thanks,

1357
01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:38,320
Speaker 2: we'll talk about next week. Yeah, yeah, no, I mean

1358
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:41,120
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay again. They're they're almost like the Rams, and

1359
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:43,000
Speaker 2: just the fact that they have the pedigree, like they

1360
01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:44,040
Speaker 2: have players.

1361
01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:46,440
Speaker 1: That you know, Baker Mayfield, baby.

1362
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:48,560
Speaker 2: They have players that you know from last the last

1363
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 2: couple of seasons. They have Mike Evans obviously with this exciting,

1364
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 2: you know, breaking a thousand again even with the injury

1365
01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:55,880
Speaker 2: earlier in the year. Like they have some of those

1366
01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:59,480
Speaker 2: players on defense that Chris Collinsworth is going to say,

1367
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:02,360
Speaker 2: this is the guy who does this best in the NFL.

1368
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:08,240
Speaker 2: But but they they're not, like they're not the storyline team. No,

1369
01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:11,120
Speaker 2: Like this is this is another one in here that

1370
01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:13,920
Speaker 2: would kind of go into that that muddled middle of

1371
01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:17,040
Speaker 2: the playoffs.

1372
01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:23,519
Speaker 1: This could have been the Falcons, this could have been

1373
01:08:24,280 --> 01:08:24,879
Speaker 1: the Saints.

1374
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:28,280
Speaker 2: Well, if it was the Falcons, they would have been seven.

1375
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:33,240
Speaker 1: Like yeah, this is like to me, the Bucks are

1376
01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:36,320
Speaker 1: like the equivalent of any of those teams, Like they're

1377
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:39,559
Speaker 1: it didn't matter who came out of the South, you know,

1378
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:42,759
Speaker 1: they're they're the six to seventh spot, you know, depending

1379
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:44,639
Speaker 1: on the team, because if it was the Falcons, yeah,

1380
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 1: they're the seven. I like the Bucks more than the Packers.

1381
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:50,960
Speaker 2: We've talked about matchups on every single team so far. Yeah,

1382
01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:53,840
Speaker 2: we did the Commanders. We did not even focus on

1383
01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:56,320
Speaker 2: the fact that they will be traveling to the Bucks.

1384
01:08:56,439 --> 01:08:58,559
Speaker 1: They're traveling to the Bucks.

1385
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:01,040
Speaker 2: I guess they are already try. I mean, the Bucks

1386
01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:03,519
Speaker 2: are better obviously because they're highering my rankings because I

1387
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:08,280
Speaker 2: forgot them. But you know, obviously they're gonna lose to

1388
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:11,479
Speaker 2: the steamroller of the team right UNDERNEATHO.

1389
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:14,560
Speaker 1: This is the four seed, right, I have the Commanders

1390
01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:17,120
Speaker 1: at four. And as you're like going through all these

1391
01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:19,640
Speaker 1: teams and the Bucks are sitting, I'm like, what what?

1392
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:25,360
Speaker 1: But you know, you know, more power to you, all right,

1393
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:28,480
Speaker 1: the four seed in the AFC, I've got the Pittsburgh Steelers,

1394
01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 1: and I know you're thinking that could be like the

1395
01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 1: six or seven, maybe even not even in the playoffs,

1396
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:37,479
Speaker 1: And I'm with you there, yeah. But what I do

1397
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 1: like about them now that they're in the tournament is

1398
01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:43,280
Speaker 1: that they're playing the Ravens in the first round, which

1399
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:46,120
Speaker 1: is a divisional opponent and they split this season, and

1400
01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:49,479
Speaker 1: I you know, and Mike Tomlin again great football coach, right,

1401
01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:51,760
Speaker 1: so he does a great job. He's gonna have his

1402
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:56,280
Speaker 1: team well prepared. The defense is really good. I really

1403
01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:01,800
Speaker 1: I may regret saying this. I like Russell Wilson in

1404
01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:02,520
Speaker 1: this playoffs.

1405
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:05,880
Speaker 2: I think you're a you are a sucker for a

1406
01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:06,840
Speaker 2: redemption story.

1407
01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:11,800
Speaker 1: I really am and I feel like Russ, this is

1408
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:14,479
Speaker 1: a big deal for him. I think that he's going

1409
01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:17,880
Speaker 1: to go all out. I you know what, it would

1410
01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:19,360
Speaker 1: surprise me if they upset.

1411
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:22,880
Speaker 2: The Ravens, so kind of to that. It's something that

1412
01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:26,120
Speaker 2: I think about a lot with like fantasy football, all right,

1413
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:30,000
Speaker 2: so you make you make the playoffs, Like, yeah, obviously

1414
01:10:30,040 --> 01:10:32,519
Speaker 2: you're hoping that your team has a good week. Yeah,

1415
01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:35,240
Speaker 2: but even better than your team having a good week

1416
01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:38,600
Speaker 2: is your opponents having a bad bad week. Yeah, like

1417
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:40,479
Speaker 2: just one of those like, hey, I didn't even play

1418
01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:42,479
Speaker 2: to my full potential, but I still won by like

1419
01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:46,040
Speaker 2: thirty points. Yeah, and I do like unfortunately that's been

1420
01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:48,799
Speaker 2: the book on Lamar so far in his career. Yeah,

1421
01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:51,840
Speaker 2: is that he's one of those guys Like, yeah, we

1422
01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 2: could see a repeat of the Ravens Steelers game from

1423
01:10:56,439 --> 01:10:58,759
Speaker 2: four weeks ago where it was just a boat race

1424
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:02,960
Speaker 2: and this Deelers did not stand a chance. But we've

1425
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:05,439
Speaker 2: also seen those games from Lamar in the past where

1426
01:11:05,439 --> 01:11:08,960
Speaker 2: he's won MVP and just disappeared in the game, And

1427
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:11,080
Speaker 2: it could be one of those where the Steelers win

1428
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:14,720
Speaker 2: an ugly game twenty to you know, fourteen.

1429
01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:16,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we're all.

1430
01:11:16,479 --> 01:11:18,880
Speaker 2: Talking about how they you know, bottled up the running

1431
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:22,240
Speaker 2: game or they took Zay Flowers out and made you know,

1432
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:23,680
Speaker 2: the Ravens just a running ga.

1433
01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:27,120
Speaker 1: And that's one hund what I think is going to happen.

1434
01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 1: If you eliminate Derrick Henry from producing on offense, if

1435
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:37,400
Speaker 1: you can, I guess, then take away Zay. Then now

1436
01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:40,240
Speaker 1: you just got to take away Lamar, who's his own deal, right,

1437
01:11:41,040 --> 01:11:45,760
Speaker 1: but he tends to not play as well in the playoffs.

1438
01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:48,280
Speaker 1: He this is gonna be another year he's gonna win

1439
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:53,800
Speaker 1: the MVP. I just I could see the Steelers upsetting

1440
01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:56,439
Speaker 1: this one. And if there's a team that they could upset,

1441
01:11:56,640 --> 01:11:59,600
Speaker 1: like confidently, it's the team that they've already beaten and

1442
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:02,040
Speaker 1: it's seen and they know very very well. So that's

1443
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:06,160
Speaker 1: why I'm like, I like the Steelers right now. I

1444
01:12:06,280 --> 01:12:10,639
Speaker 1: like them in this spot, and I like them being

1445
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:12,840
Speaker 1: able to have essential for a run.

1446
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:15,200
Speaker 2: Then that's kind of funny because just what what what's

1447
01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:16,479
Speaker 2: the line right now?

1448
01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:18,920
Speaker 1: No, I'm gonna look it up because that's uh.

1449
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:20,760
Speaker 2: I was thinking the same thing as that would be

1450
01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:23,280
Speaker 2: one of your your recommendations. This might be one of

1451
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:25,840
Speaker 2: my bad is, especially I mean if it's six and

1452
01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:27,640
Speaker 2: a half or a seven point spread.

1453
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:31,920
Speaker 1: On that, like, all right, yeah, this is uh, this

1454
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:34,400
Speaker 1: is one of those games that why do I keep

1455
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:40,519
Speaker 1: spelling war horse? War bores make any sense?

1456
01:12:41,360 --> 01:12:44,120
Speaker 2: The U And it is kind of funny that you

1457
01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:46,040
Speaker 2: know you're having trouble finding the lines because I feel

1458
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:48,320
Speaker 2: like the lines are everywhere. It's kind of crazy now

1459
01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:48,839
Speaker 2: to turn.

1460
01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:50,519
Speaker 1: On like I suppose I could have just opened ESPN

1461
01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:53,160
Speaker 1: or ESPN and just see it on the app, and

1462
01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:55,559
Speaker 1: instead I'm like, give me the lines you're locally.

1463
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:57,439
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of who the comedian is. I

1464
01:12:57,439 --> 01:12:59,479
Speaker 2: saw somebody had like a joke that was basically like

1465
01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:02,240
Speaker 2: in five of Yours, you know, the mega churches will

1466
01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:06,080
Speaker 2: have the the game lines staring church on Sunday mornings.

1467
01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:09,680
Speaker 2: It was just like that actually seems like like a

1468
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:12,040
Speaker 2: very straightforward I ain't.

1469
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:19,639
Speaker 1: Mad about it either, all right. NFL Steelers, Well it's.

1470
01:13:19,479 --> 01:13:23,200
Speaker 2: Oh, calm down, Johnny. We're not saying anything bad about religion.

1471
01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:25,360
Speaker 1: Baltimore nine and a half, nine and a half.

1472
01:13:25,439 --> 01:13:28,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I'm taking you get nine points at

1473
01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:30,000
Speaker 2: nine and a half points.

1474
01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:33,439
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you This is going to be a close game.

1475
01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:35,920
Speaker 2: You know, kind of you know, just to throw the

1476
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:38,240
Speaker 2: wrestling analogies in there, like how'd you feel though? Like,

1477
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:41,840
Speaker 2: all right, you know, Pittsburgh's down by like fourteen, Russell

1478
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:44,120
Speaker 2: Wilson goes down in the third quarter, like you get

1479
01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:46,719
Speaker 2: the stone cold music when Justin Fields comes out there,

1480
01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:50,200
Speaker 2: like there's there's another one of those narratives that you

1481
01:13:50,240 --> 01:13:52,320
Speaker 2: can make where it's it's like, oh, Fields get forced

1482
01:13:52,360 --> 01:13:55,639
Speaker 2: into this game. Well, guess what the ravensdon't practice for, right,

1483
01:13:55,880 --> 01:13:59,160
Speaker 2: you know, Justin Fields it's going to run for seventy.

1484
01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:02,160
Speaker 1: Yards And this team played okay with Justin Fields a quarterback.

1485
01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:04,800
Speaker 1: There was a lot of controversy when he instantly made

1486
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:08,799
Speaker 1: the decision to go to russ So why not? It's

1487
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:11,240
Speaker 1: it is interesting. I love the Steelers at nine and

1488
01:14:11,240 --> 01:14:14,599
Speaker 1: a half. I liked him to win outright, let alone

1489
01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:15,400
Speaker 1: nine and a half.

1490
01:14:15,479 --> 01:14:18,880
Speaker 2: What I'm still skeptical on that part. But we'll we'll,

1491
01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:20,760
Speaker 2: I mean, we'll get to the other side of the.

1492
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:21,840
Speaker 1: Are we gonna go, Are we gonna go? Are we

1493
01:14:21,840 --> 01:14:22,920
Speaker 1: gonna place this bed tonight?

1494
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:23,519
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1495
01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:29,479
Speaker 1: Nine and a half's gold, all right, So the Pittsburgh Steelers,

1496
01:14:29,479 --> 01:14:32,760
Speaker 1: that's my four seed in the AFC, in the in

1497
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:37,000
Speaker 1: the AFC three seed, it's my Los Angeles Chargers.

1498
01:14:37,080 --> 01:14:38,639
Speaker 2: I was waiting for these guys to show up.

1499
01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:43,960
Speaker 1: So in reality, they're the five seed. And that's so

1500
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:46,840
Speaker 1: they're the best of the wild card teams, falling a

1501
01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:49,640
Speaker 1: few games back of the Kansas City Chiefs, right, I

1502
01:14:50,479 --> 01:14:52,400
Speaker 1: played the Chiefs tough. We did get sweat, but we

1503
01:14:52,439 --> 01:14:55,519
Speaker 1: played them tough in both games. This Chargers team did

1504
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:59,000
Speaker 1: is like we've talked about throughout, a team that beat

1505
01:14:59,120 --> 01:15:03,400
Speaker 1: up on bad team. You know, they competed very well

1506
01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:05,080
Speaker 1: with some good teams and even had a couple of

1507
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:08,280
Speaker 1: really good wins. This is a team that's performing at

1508
01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:12,200
Speaker 1: a high level at the best time of season, is

1509
01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:14,960
Speaker 1: finally starting to get a little healthy. They had injuries

1510
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:19,600
Speaker 1: throughout from the get including it quarterback Justin Herbert. So

1511
01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:22,880
Speaker 1: this is uh, this is a Jim harball team that

1512
01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:25,760
Speaker 1: I think is prepared and ready for playoff football. And

1513
01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:29,840
Speaker 1: I love our matchup at Houston. And you know, if

1514
01:15:29,840 --> 01:15:31,680
Speaker 1: you play Houston in the in the wild card round,

1515
01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:35,439
Speaker 1: you play Saturday afternoons. So that's just part of the deal.

1516
01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:37,680
Speaker 1: We just kind of knew it, and that's okay. As

1517
01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:38,800
Speaker 1: a fan, I'll take it.

1518
01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:41,200
Speaker 2: That's and that's kind of the surprising thing is it's

1519
01:15:41,240 --> 01:15:42,680
Speaker 2: just like, all right, well you think about it. It's like,

1520
01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:45,680
Speaker 2: obviously we've talked about Jim Harbaugh already today just that,

1521
01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:49,720
Speaker 2: but you're not really taking a coaching advantage on this, no,

1522
01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:52,120
Speaker 2: because you're talking about the other teams in the playoffs,

1523
01:15:52,160 --> 01:15:54,800
Speaker 2: like the teams that are below this. I mean, Andy

1524
01:15:54,840 --> 01:16:01,160
Speaker 2: Reid's pretty good. Yep, uh, you know, Mike Tomlins per good,

1525
01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:02,480
Speaker 2: Sean Payton's pretty.

1526
01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:03,360
Speaker 1: Good, Sean Payton's pretty good.

1527
01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:06,439
Speaker 2: You know, John Harbaugh is pretty good. Yeah, Like you know,

1528
01:16:06,680 --> 01:16:09,559
Speaker 2: like you've got a lot of those. So it does

1529
01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:13,000
Speaker 2: become one of those with the you know, the sum

1530
01:16:13,080 --> 01:16:16,880
Speaker 2: is greater than the parts. Because again, if you went

1531
01:16:16,960 --> 01:16:20,120
Speaker 2: on the quarterback side, well you'd say, you know, Herbert

1532
01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:23,679
Speaker 2: is good, but you probably would have a tough time

1533
01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:26,960
Speaker 2: making argument that he's a top three quarterback in the ANFC.

1534
01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:32,040
Speaker 1: And that's the thing. Statistically, you would say, yes, you

1535
01:16:32,080 --> 01:16:35,160
Speaker 1: look at him, is build all the all the analytics

1536
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:39,559
Speaker 1: of just how he's not He's it's kind of short.

1537
01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:44,800
Speaker 1: So here's a guy that looks the part, plays the

1538
01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:47,439
Speaker 1: part as fast as tall as strong, can throw a

1539
01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:50,640
Speaker 1: mile right and all this, all the stats say this

1540
01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:52,880
Speaker 1: guy is incredible, and then you look at the game

1541
01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:56,760
Speaker 1: by game by game and it's like, we miss it

1542
01:16:56,840 --> 01:16:59,840
Speaker 1: in some big moments and some big games, and he's

1543
01:16:59,880 --> 01:17:00,559
Speaker 1: the guy with the ball.

1544
01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:03,280
Speaker 2: And as you described him, I couldn't help but just

1545
01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:06,000
Speaker 2: think of how great of a spokes athlete he'd be.

1546
01:17:06,120 --> 01:17:09,160
Speaker 2: For Brought Spring, he would be North Korea brought.

1547
01:17:08,960 --> 01:17:14,120
Speaker 1: Spring Brod'd be Herbert's gonna be the guy they bring

1548
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:17,280
Speaker 1: in and be like, uh, you know it's brought season

1549
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:23,600
Speaker 1: at uh North Korea Grocer Brod Spring.

1550
01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:28,880
Speaker 2: I'm almost thinking of Bill Murray and the God the

1551
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:32,960
Speaker 2: Scarlett Johansson movie where he's over in Japan, Japan. Yeah,

1552
01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:35,479
Speaker 2: and he's doing like the advertisements and he doesn't speak

1553
01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:38,679
Speaker 2: like the Japanese people like. I feel like that would

1554
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:41,800
Speaker 2: be Herbert. He'd just be sitting there punching the football. Yep.

1555
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:46,120
Speaker 2: Just Spring Brod Spring.

1556
01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:51,920
Speaker 1: Well. I like our defense. I like our defense a lot.

1557
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:54,200
Speaker 1: I think our defense can make plays and and and

1558
01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:58,280
Speaker 1: really there was a point deep into the season where

1559
01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:02,639
Speaker 1: it's like no one had scored more than twenty. They're

1560
01:18:02,640 --> 01:18:05,760
Speaker 1: playing very well here into the in the stretch run,

1561
01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:08,680
Speaker 1: you know, into the playoffs. Offensively, our running games and

1562
01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:11,560
Speaker 1: credits gym, hardball football right just beat him at the

1563
01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:13,439
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. I think that's been going well. And

1564
01:18:13,439 --> 01:18:16,560
Speaker 1: then our the one of the weaknesses going into this

1565
01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:18,559
Speaker 1: season was you have nobody that's going to catch the

1566
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:20,360
Speaker 1: ball for Herbert. And then that's just that's kind of

1567
01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:22,439
Speaker 1: worked out, you know, where guys have just stepped up

1568
01:18:22,479 --> 01:18:25,519
Speaker 1: and Ladd mcconkey's turned into a guy and it's just

1569
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:29,320
Speaker 1: worked out, right. But I like this team. I like

1570
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:31,320
Speaker 1: this team a lot, I think, and this is not

1571
01:18:31,400 --> 01:18:33,160
Speaker 1: just me being a charged fan, like I am optimistic

1572
01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:34,640
Speaker 1: as a Charges fan that this is a team that

1573
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:36,840
Speaker 1: I think can make a run. I like us playing

1574
01:18:36,840 --> 01:18:39,240
Speaker 1: at Houston. We're at Houston in the first round where

1575
01:18:39,240 --> 01:18:41,280
Speaker 1: the five seed, we're two and a half point favorite.

1576
01:18:41,479 --> 01:18:45,280
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna win this game out right, yep.

1577
01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:48,240
Speaker 1: And then that's where it's like, all right, if no

1578
01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:52,000
Speaker 1: upsets happened. Then we go into Casey Mow and we

1579
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 1: play the Chiefs, and I like our chances against the Chiefs.

1580
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:56,320
Speaker 1: So I think this is a good football team comparatively.

1581
01:18:56,400 --> 01:18:59,120
Speaker 1: But I think to your point, when he's stacked. When

1582
01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:02,040
Speaker 1: you're stacking it all up, you know, if it's you're

1583
01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 1: not winning the coaching category, what are you winning? I'd

1584
01:19:06,080 --> 01:19:08,760
Speaker 1: say defensively were winning that, special teams were winning that,

1585
01:19:09,080 --> 01:19:15,200
Speaker 1: and then offensively statistically you could guys just haven't proven

1586
01:19:15,200 --> 01:19:18,479
Speaker 1: it yet, mainly at quarterback, and that's where this is

1587
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:20,320
Speaker 1: the year. He's gotta he's got he's got to do it.

1588
01:19:21,080 --> 01:19:22,960
Speaker 2: I think it's kind of crazy just to think, again,

1589
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:24,360
Speaker 2: this is Jim Harbaugh's.

1590
01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:27,800
Speaker 1: First year, like feels like he's been there for well.

1591
01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:30,160
Speaker 2: But also, I mean, could you make the argument that

1592
01:19:30,200 --> 01:19:34,599
Speaker 2: this will be the worst year, right, Yeah, he doesn't

1593
01:19:34,600 --> 01:19:37,439
Speaker 2: have the talent in there. You know, the Chargers are

1594
01:19:37,600 --> 01:19:42,320
Speaker 2: a bit empty cupboard. You know, lad was a big

1595
01:19:42,360 --> 01:19:45,920
Speaker 2: deal this year because that wide receiver room did not

1596
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:46,599
Speaker 2: look strong.

1597
01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:49,000
Speaker 1: No doubt him, no any of you take him out

1598
01:19:49,280 --> 01:19:52,160
Speaker 1: because he spent some time hurt, you take him out.

1599
01:19:52,880 --> 01:19:55,679
Speaker 1: It doesn't look very strong. So it's yeah, we last.

1600
01:19:56,040 --> 01:19:57,840
Speaker 2: I mean, you think about that and it's just like, okay,

1601
01:19:57,920 --> 01:19:59,559
Speaker 2: is that offensive line going to get better? Is that

1602
01:19:59,600 --> 01:20:02,360
Speaker 2: defense line going to get better? Like this could be

1603
01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:07,240
Speaker 2: a team that again is a year or two under baked.

1604
01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:10,400
Speaker 2: But yeah, maybe it's got it.

1605
01:20:10,439 --> 01:20:13,800
Speaker 1: Maybe this is it. Yeah, all right, number three in

1606
01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:14,600
Speaker 1: the NFC.

1607
01:20:16,120 --> 01:20:18,559
Speaker 2: I hate to do it. I hate to put I

1608
01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:22,120
Speaker 2: hate to put the Vikings here. I think if the

1609
01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:24,160
Speaker 2: I think that the Vikings would have won a Detroit

1610
01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:26,439
Speaker 2: last week, I probably would have put them as number two.

1611
01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:30,200
Speaker 2: I probably have to give the nod to the other

1612
01:20:30,200 --> 01:20:32,519
Speaker 2: two teams that we haven't listed so far, just because

1613
01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:34,840
Speaker 2: they've got that home field, and I don't trust the

1614
01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:40,920
Speaker 2: Vikings necessarily going to play at Philly. But the Vikings

1615
01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:43,599
Speaker 2: are another team that they don't they like coming into

1616
01:20:43,600 --> 01:20:46,760
Speaker 2: the season. They don't belong here, like they have that

1617
01:20:46,800 --> 01:20:50,360
Speaker 2: talent deficiency now QUESI, their GM has done a fantastic

1618
01:20:50,479 --> 01:20:56,120
Speaker 2: job of bringing in defensive players. Grenard from Houston, Van

1619
01:20:56,200 --> 01:21:00,640
Speaker 2: Ginkel from the Dolphins, both Pro Bowlers. Know they're on

1620
01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:04,360
Speaker 2: the edges cash men. You know. They drafted Ivan Pace

1621
01:21:04,479 --> 01:21:07,439
Speaker 2: like they've rebuilt this defense in the space of a

1622
01:21:07,600 --> 01:21:13,000
Speaker 2: season to be one of the most like competitive defenses

1623
01:21:13,040 --> 01:21:19,240
Speaker 2: out there. Their number three spot probably comes a lot

1624
01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:21,839
Speaker 2: just due to Sam Darneld.

1625
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:25,639
Speaker 1: Sam Donald played a heavy er, Yeah played heavier. One

1626
01:21:25,720 --> 01:21:27,559
Speaker 1: bad game happened to be last week.

1627
01:21:27,520 --> 01:21:30,000
Speaker 2: Yeap, and so yeah, and it's not all doom and Glowe.

1628
01:21:30,760 --> 01:21:33,559
Speaker 2: It's they went fourteen to three. The Vegas line for

1629
01:21:33,640 --> 01:21:35,040
Speaker 2: wins at the beginning of the season was six and

1630
01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:38,880
Speaker 2: a half, which I'm fairly certain that when we did

1631
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:41,760
Speaker 2: this show back before the season, we were both like,

1632
01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:43,599
Speaker 2: I mean, you got to take that over.

1633
01:21:44,040 --> 01:21:45,559
Speaker 1: We said that was the easiest over on the board.

1634
01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:46,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, the Vikings are going to be a

1635
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:50,120
Speaker 2: five hundred team, right, that's just who The Vikings are

1636
01:21:50,160 --> 01:21:51,680
Speaker 2: always a five hundred game out.

1637
01:21:51,680 --> 01:21:54,040
Speaker 1: They had a good record last year. This was gonna

1638
01:21:54,080 --> 01:21:56,960
Speaker 1: be a good, good ish team no matter what. Like

1639
01:21:57,280 --> 01:21:58,519
Speaker 1: that was the easiest over.

1640
01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:00,760
Speaker 2: Of the bunch. And that's where, Yeah, they did get

1641
01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:05,160
Speaker 2: over odd against Detroit this last week. You know, Sam

1642
01:22:05,240 --> 01:22:09,440
Speaker 2: Darnold went oh for eight in gold to go situations,

1643
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:12,320
Speaker 2: oh for eight. Where the Vikings have been one of

1644
01:22:12,320 --> 01:22:14,479
Speaker 2: the best teams in the red zone all year, Like

1645
01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:16,800
Speaker 2: that's not going to happen again now, Like they've got

1646
01:22:16,800 --> 01:22:19,320
Speaker 2: too many weapons for that to happen again. Yep. I

1647
01:22:19,479 --> 01:22:23,519
Speaker 2: just I hate the idea that I would almost rather

1648
01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:27,080
Speaker 2: than win this week and go play at Detroit and

1649
01:22:27,120 --> 01:22:30,080
Speaker 2: hopefully somebody else takes Philly. But I have I just

1650
01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:33,280
Speaker 2: have too many bad memories of Vikings going on the

1651
01:22:33,439 --> 01:22:38,000
Speaker 2: road in January to Philadelphia and playing outside, playing in

1652
01:22:38,040 --> 01:22:39,400
Speaker 2: that stadium in that environment.

1653
01:22:39,520 --> 01:22:41,559
Speaker 1: Well, this is the situation where you've got a really

1654
01:22:41,640 --> 01:22:45,160
Speaker 1: good Vikings team that you know what, three losses on

1655
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:50,680
Speaker 1: the year and they are a five seed traveling to

1656
01:22:52,600 --> 01:22:54,880
Speaker 1: on the road against a team with a far less

1657
01:22:55,040 --> 01:22:57,439
Speaker 1: record in the LA Rams and there and the Vikings

1658
01:22:57,439 --> 01:23:00,200
Speaker 1: are actually a one point favorite at LA yep. So

1659
01:23:01,240 --> 01:23:03,560
Speaker 1: this is a situation where you love to see the

1660
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:07,240
Speaker 1: Vikings probably higher placed because the record shows it. But

1661
01:23:07,280 --> 01:23:09,120
Speaker 1: that's not how the NFL does it, and that's exactly

1662
01:23:09,160 --> 01:23:10,639
Speaker 1: why you have them have them.

1663
01:23:10,640 --> 01:23:13,880
Speaker 2: But the symmetry is is strong with this one too,

1664
01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:17,200
Speaker 2: where it's like, so before last week the Vikings only

1665
01:23:17,240 --> 01:23:20,160
Speaker 2: had two losses, but they lost to Detroit the first

1666
01:23:20,160 --> 01:23:23,879
Speaker 2: time they played them. Their following game was at the Rams.

1667
01:23:24,200 --> 01:23:26,280
Speaker 2: Oh wow, and they ended up losing to the Rams too,

1668
01:23:27,479 --> 01:23:29,559
Speaker 2: And so now here you have it like, Okay, well

1669
01:23:29,560 --> 01:23:32,439
Speaker 2: they lost to Detroit on Sunday and now here they

1670
01:23:32,439 --> 01:23:34,080
Speaker 2: are at the Rams again.

1671
01:23:35,240 --> 01:23:37,479
Speaker 1: See, and that's I didn't think there was any shame

1672
01:23:37,640 --> 01:23:40,120
Speaker 1: in losing. Obviously, you'd love to see the Vikings go

1673
01:23:40,160 --> 01:23:42,840
Speaker 1: in last week and take care of business and beat Detroit. No,

1674
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:44,800
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any shame in losing that game

1675
01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:48,400
Speaker 1: because Detroit's on another level right now. Well, so you

1676
01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:50,920
Speaker 1: just kind of like, all right, get out, get in

1677
01:23:50,920 --> 01:23:53,679
Speaker 1: and get out healthy and gear up for the playoffs.

1678
01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:55,840
Speaker 1: You're already in, you already got, you know, kind of

1679
01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:56,599
Speaker 1: that's the deal.

1680
01:23:56,720 --> 01:23:59,160
Speaker 2: Well, and that's the thing that's Vikings had one ninth straight. Yeah,

1681
01:23:59,760 --> 01:24:04,000
Speaker 2: it's like, okay, they went ten straight and then laid

1682
01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:07,400
Speaker 2: the stinker. Right, It's happen like you almost want. It's

1683
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:09,880
Speaker 2: like you almost want the adversity to hit, you know.

1684
01:24:10,479 --> 01:24:12,360
Speaker 2: It's like, all right, does the team get better for it?

1685
01:24:12,560 --> 01:24:15,920
Speaker 2: Can you learn from it? Because yeah, I mean the

1686
01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:18,400
Speaker 2: vibes are good right now in Minnesota. I mean they've

1687
01:24:18,439 --> 01:24:22,040
Speaker 2: got but you know, a great coach. First Vikings coach

1688
01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:26,000
Speaker 2: to ever have thirteen wins twice I traded. Yeah, that's

1689
01:24:26,080 --> 01:24:26,679
Speaker 2: that's false.

1690
01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:29,479
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, you're to your first guy, laugh with me.

1691
01:24:29,720 --> 01:24:32,680
Speaker 2: Now. I think a lot more likely is just Flores

1692
01:24:32,760 --> 01:24:33,880
Speaker 2: could get snagged.

1693
01:24:34,680 --> 01:24:36,000
Speaker 1: Okay, well, if that makes sense.

1694
01:24:36,320 --> 01:24:40,080
Speaker 2: But he also has an active lawsuit against the NFL

1695
01:24:40,800 --> 01:24:41,800
Speaker 2: still dating.

1696
01:24:41,520 --> 01:24:42,880
Speaker 1: Back to uh in Miami.

1697
01:24:43,439 --> 01:24:47,479
Speaker 2: Well the Bill Belichick text that's right where Bill Belichick

1698
01:24:47,640 --> 01:24:51,320
Speaker 2: texted him congratulations, wanting send it to Mike Flores instead

1699
01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:55,360
Speaker 2: of Mike Dabel. Yeah, before Flores. I think it was

1700
01:24:55,400 --> 01:24:58,840
Speaker 2: before Flores had even done his interview for it. Yeah.

1701
01:24:58,960 --> 01:25:02,919
Speaker 1: Wow, BILLI historically known for missing the details.

1702
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:06,280
Speaker 2: Yea. But so it's just you know they've got that.

1703
01:25:06,400 --> 01:25:10,120
Speaker 2: I mean, the vibes are good. Best celebrations bar none

1704
01:25:10,120 --> 01:25:10,400
Speaker 2: this year.

1705
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:13,320
Speaker 1: The touchdown dances aren't crazy.

1706
01:25:12,640 --> 01:25:16,519
Speaker 2: The defense, the you know, Murphy on on his stuff.

1707
01:25:16,560 --> 01:25:17,920
Speaker 2: I mean, I think he made the Pro Bowl.

1708
01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:21,839
Speaker 1: Just do to do the dances, that's awesome.

1709
01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:25,880
Speaker 2: But yes, I'm I am expecting them to take care

1710
01:25:25,880 --> 01:25:29,040
Speaker 2: of business here with the Rams and Dan Campbell during

1711
01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:31,679
Speaker 2: the post game handshake, I mean.

1712
01:25:31,600 --> 01:25:34,080
Speaker 1: He said he seems in two weeks. Yeah, I mean

1713
01:25:34,080 --> 01:25:36,599
Speaker 1: he knows, he knows the deal. And there's just there

1714
01:25:36,640 --> 01:25:39,360
Speaker 1: was nothing wrong with losing that game. As the game

1715
01:25:39,479 --> 01:25:41,639
Speaker 1: started to kind of fall apart there a little bit,

1716
01:25:41,920 --> 01:25:44,160
Speaker 1: it was like, all right, just get out healthy, Just

1717
01:25:44,200 --> 01:25:47,160
Speaker 1: get out healthy. I mean you could fight, sure, get

1718
01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:47,719
Speaker 1: out healthy.

1719
01:25:47,840 --> 01:25:50,679
Speaker 2: I mean you would have been a lot more upset

1720
01:25:51,040 --> 01:25:53,559
Speaker 2: if the Vikings loss of the Packers the first, you

1721
01:25:53,600 --> 01:25:56,240
Speaker 2: know that week before, but that's just because the Packers suck.

1722
01:25:56,520 --> 01:26:00,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're pretty bad. So the number two in the

1723
01:26:00,560 --> 01:26:04,559
Speaker 1: NFC then has to be I'm going with the Eagles

1724
01:26:04,560 --> 01:26:07,160
Speaker 1: on the Eagles, So I.

1725
01:26:08,720 --> 01:26:13,479
Speaker 2: Think the Eagles. The Eagles playing outside with that Jalen

1726
01:26:13,560 --> 01:26:18,080
Speaker 2: Hurts Saquon Barkley combination is kind of scary on offense

1727
01:26:18,560 --> 01:26:22,040
Speaker 2: because again we know just Time of Memorial from the

1728
01:26:22,120 --> 01:26:24,920
Speaker 2: very beginning of the NFL, you don't want to tackle

1729
01:26:25,320 --> 01:26:29,840
Speaker 2: when it's freezing, like it's scary, like it hurts, like

1730
01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:31,120
Speaker 2: it's going to be painful.

1731
01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:33,559
Speaker 1: What about that? We were I know this, we're talking

1732
01:26:33,560 --> 01:26:36,519
Speaker 1: about the Eagles, but we were talking about how a

1733
01:26:36,560 --> 01:26:40,240
Speaker 1: shit show the Giants are and they had Saquon Barkley

1734
01:26:40,600 --> 01:26:44,439
Speaker 1: and he wanted to be a Giant and they were like, yeah,

1735
01:26:44,560 --> 01:26:46,960
Speaker 1: go test the market and see, but just hit us up.

1736
01:26:47,320 --> 01:26:49,280
Speaker 2: So we have a just isn't it amazing that they're

1737
01:26:49,360 --> 01:26:51,679
Speaker 2: keeping that coaching GM why together?

1738
01:26:51,880 --> 01:26:55,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's just nuts, Like they're the reason it all

1739
01:26:55,520 --> 01:26:59,320
Speaker 1: fell apart. And it wasn't just you know, play calling

1740
01:26:59,360 --> 01:27:02,760
Speaker 1: and coaching and strategy, was the logistics of putting together

1741
01:27:02,800 --> 01:27:05,960
Speaker 1: your roster. They didn't handle it and it's on camera.

1742
01:27:06,400 --> 01:27:11,040
Speaker 1: We all saw it. Ye Squon Barkley all time here? Yeah, anyway,

1743
01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:13,479
Speaker 1: well the Eagles, Yeah, I know, I say all time

1744
01:27:13,520 --> 01:27:14,679
Speaker 1: and you're like, well, there's.

1745
01:27:16,240 --> 01:27:18,040
Speaker 2: I think the tough The toughest part for me on

1746
01:27:18,040 --> 01:27:20,240
Speaker 2: that Saquon thing was he was still one hundred yards

1747
01:27:20,240 --> 01:27:23,160
Speaker 2: off from the record. He had had sixteen and he

1748
01:27:23,240 --> 01:27:25,559
Speaker 2: had the sixteen games, so it would be like if

1749
01:27:25,560 --> 01:27:27,439
Speaker 2: he broke the record, it would be because he did on

1750
01:27:27,479 --> 01:27:31,440
Speaker 2: the seventeen. So he was already one hundred yards behind Dickerson,

1751
01:27:31,479 --> 01:27:34,560
Speaker 2: one hundred yards behind Peterson, like one hundred yards you

1752
01:27:34,640 --> 01:27:35,880
Speaker 2: know behind.

1753
01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:39,519
Speaker 1: Was he top five?

1754
01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:44,080
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I actually, I mean that's that's that's a

1755
01:27:44,080 --> 01:27:45,040
Speaker 2: good question there.

1756
01:27:44,920 --> 01:27:49,400
Speaker 1: Because if he's top five rushing performance in a single

1757
01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:53,679
Speaker 1: season yards wise, that's all time. I mean, how many

1758
01:27:53,680 --> 01:27:56,400
Speaker 1: other guys can say they did that. I mean, you know,

1759
01:27:56,600 --> 01:28:01,439
Speaker 1: not everybody can. Is he more than OJ? Because if

1760
01:28:01,479 --> 01:28:04,040
Speaker 1: you if you get more than O. J. Simpson, you're

1761
01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:05,160
Speaker 1: in anotherly class.

1762
01:28:05,160 --> 01:28:07,320
Speaker 2: In my book, he did not make top five.

1763
01:28:07,560 --> 01:28:09,439
Speaker 1: He did not. It is OJ higher.

1764
01:28:11,080 --> 01:28:15,040
Speaker 2: He was number eight. This was the number eight season overall,

1765
01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:19,600
Speaker 2: So he got beat by Dickerson, Peterson, Jamal Lewis, Barry Sanders,

1766
01:28:19,760 --> 01:28:24,800
Speaker 2: Derrick Henry, Terrell Davis, Chris Johnson, J two K and

1767
01:28:24,880 --> 01:28:27,639
Speaker 2: he just passed OJ. He passed OJ by two yards.

1768
01:28:27,800 --> 01:28:32,800
Speaker 1: That son of a bitch, O J, I mean, is

1769
01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:33,920
Speaker 1: the son of a bitch.

1770
01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:38,600
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe OJ comes back, Maybe he comes back to

1771
01:28:38,640 --> 01:28:39,320
Speaker 2: get the record.

1772
01:28:39,520 --> 01:28:42,479
Speaker 1: You know, you know OJ's dead on this You come

1773
01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:45,719
Speaker 1: on this podcast and you talk about OJ Simpson.

1774
01:28:46,080 --> 01:28:48,080
Speaker 2: I haven't got to that episode yet. I'm still on

1775
01:28:48,840 --> 01:28:50,720
Speaker 2: Lebron James troll foot O. J.

1776
01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:58,160
Speaker 1: Simpson was found not guilty. That's all I'm saying. He's

1777
01:28:58,200 --> 01:29:03,000
Speaker 1: a I almost said he's a good g but he

1778
01:29:03,120 --> 01:29:04,559
Speaker 1: was a hell of a football player.

1779
01:29:04,720 --> 01:29:06,920
Speaker 2: I think I think Kyle would have shadow band you

1780
01:29:07,400 --> 01:29:08,200
Speaker 2: if you said that.

1781
01:29:08,240 --> 01:29:12,600
Speaker 1: He's like, you're done, you no longer this podcast.

1782
01:29:13,880 --> 01:29:16,040
Speaker 2: But yes, I think Philly's got a lot of advantages

1783
01:29:16,080 --> 01:29:19,439
Speaker 2: just by the fact that, I mean, unless they played Detroit,

1784
01:29:19,520 --> 01:29:21,400
Speaker 2: they're going to be playing at home, and that is

1785
01:29:21,439 --> 01:29:23,840
Speaker 2: a scarier team to play at home than it would

1786
01:29:23,880 --> 01:29:27,559
Speaker 2: be anywhere else. Because I know, I mean, like I

1787
01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:31,320
Speaker 2: know that they beat the you know, the Green Bay

1788
01:29:31,439 --> 01:29:33,680
Speaker 2: earlier this season, they beat the Ravens, and I think

1789
01:29:33,720 --> 01:29:36,240
Speaker 2: they beat the Steelers too, like they have some good

1790
01:29:36,240 --> 01:29:38,639
Speaker 2: wins on there, but they also for the last month

1791
01:29:38,640 --> 01:29:42,000
Speaker 2: and a half they really haven't had those challenges.

1792
01:29:43,280 --> 01:29:46,880
Speaker 1: So well, that's you know what it feels like to

1793
01:29:47,280 --> 01:29:50,880
Speaker 1: all season long, their head coach has been on the

1794
01:29:50,880 --> 01:29:52,400
Speaker 1: hot set, isn't it?

1795
01:29:52,520 --> 01:29:57,000
Speaker 2: Nuts? The yeuh I found he's gonna get fired any

1796
01:29:57,080 --> 01:29:58,960
Speaker 2: weak and this is this is probably this is probably

1797
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:01,080
Speaker 2: a whole other this probably a whole other show here,

1798
01:30:01,120 --> 01:30:03,680
Speaker 2: but because I know that this is gonna upset you

1799
01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:07,080
Speaker 2: more than anything. But like Dion, they're talking about Dion

1800
01:30:07,120 --> 01:30:09,240
Speaker 2: becoming a head coach in the NFL, and I'm just like,

1801
01:30:10,720 --> 01:30:13,120
Speaker 2: for what, And they're like, well, he'd be doing the

1802
01:30:13,160 --> 01:30:15,120
Speaker 2: same type of deal. He'd be that CEO head coach.

1803
01:30:15,439 --> 01:30:16,599
Speaker 2: And so it's just like, all right, well, you look

1804
01:30:16,600 --> 01:30:18,800
Speaker 2: at the most successful coaches, the coaches that we've looked at,

1805
01:30:19,040 --> 01:30:23,960
Speaker 2: like Andy Reid contributes, Jim Harbaugh contributes, like Tomlin contributes,

1806
01:30:24,000 --> 01:30:27,160
Speaker 2: Like these guys all contribute to that game plan. Yep.

1807
01:30:27,520 --> 01:30:29,240
Speaker 2: And now you're gonna say, like, oh, we've got the

1808
01:30:29,280 --> 01:30:32,800
Speaker 2: CEO who doesn't contribute to the game plan. He's just

1809
01:30:32,880 --> 01:30:35,519
Speaker 2: overseeing all the different units doing their stuff. And I'm like,

1810
01:30:35,680 --> 01:30:39,519
Speaker 2: who's successful doing that? And they were like the Philadelphia Eagles,

1811
01:30:39,920 --> 01:30:42,840
Speaker 2: that's their coach. It was the example, like and it

1812
01:30:42,960 --> 01:30:44,680
Speaker 2: was it stopped me on my tracks and I was

1813
01:30:44,720 --> 01:30:49,200
Speaker 2: just like, I have nothing to respond to that. I

1814
01:30:49,240 --> 01:30:53,320
Speaker 2: have nothing, like Okay, I guess hey, you know, it

1815
01:30:53,320 --> 01:30:57,600
Speaker 2: doesn't work for most people, but maybe it'll work for us.

1816
01:30:57,040 --> 01:31:00,439
Speaker 1: You know, and for some it works. And sometimes sometimes

1817
01:31:00,439 --> 01:31:02,360
Speaker 1: you look at the business too and be like, what's

1818
01:31:02,400 --> 01:31:04,599
Speaker 1: gonna sell? We need we need butts in the seats,

1819
01:31:04,640 --> 01:31:07,040
Speaker 1: we need to sell merchandise, we need excitement, we need

1820
01:31:07,040 --> 01:31:10,400
Speaker 1: free agents to want to come here. And Dion is

1821
01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:11,960
Speaker 1: the guy to do that. And that's why he's gonna

1822
01:31:11,960 --> 01:31:13,960
Speaker 1: be the new head football coach the Dallas Cowboys, even

1823
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:16,640
Speaker 1: though there's a lot of Raider talk and I'm not

1824
01:31:17,400 --> 01:31:21,040
Speaker 1: I'm not like I'm starting to believe in that a

1825
01:31:21,040 --> 01:31:23,200
Speaker 1: little bit. But I've been, you know, from the get

1826
01:31:23,320 --> 01:31:25,880
Speaker 1: saying that this season all along, he's gonna be a

1827
01:31:25,960 --> 01:31:26,679
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboy.

1828
01:31:26,800 --> 01:31:30,880
Speaker 2: So you put Dion coaching the Raiders with Kirk Cousins

1829
01:31:30,920 --> 01:31:35,599
Speaker 2: as his quarterback, like, oh man, that's that's a show

1830
01:31:35,680 --> 01:31:36,400
Speaker 2: for the ages.

1831
01:31:36,640 --> 01:31:40,320
Speaker 1: You think he's gonna start Kirk over Shader is.

1832
01:31:40,439 --> 01:31:42,439
Speaker 2: Probably getting drafted by the Titans, so.

1833
01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:45,840
Speaker 1: Well, he they're a package deal, so they're they're going together.

1834
01:31:46,080 --> 01:31:49,880
Speaker 1: That's that's gonna be awesome. All right, Philadelphia Eagles your

1835
01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:52,960
Speaker 1: number two seed in the NFC I and and and

1836
01:31:53,040 --> 01:31:55,639
Speaker 1: the AFC at number two. I've got the Baltimore Ravens.

1837
01:31:55,680 --> 01:31:57,200
Speaker 1: I don't have a lot to say about him other

1838
01:31:57,240 --> 01:32:01,840
Speaker 1: than they've been really really good. Yeah, consistent the running game, getting.

1839
01:32:02,040 --> 01:32:02,880
Speaker 2: The Bills when they played.

1840
01:32:03,080 --> 01:32:06,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, getting Derrick Henry has been just the rock they

1841
01:32:06,040 --> 01:32:08,920
Speaker 1: needed at the running game. And and it's kind of

1842
01:32:08,920 --> 01:32:13,280
Speaker 1: funny because the Chargers took the two running backs that

1843
01:32:13,320 --> 01:32:16,639
Speaker 1: the Ravens had that the Ravens didn't want, and it's

1844
01:32:16,640 --> 01:32:19,479
Speaker 1: worked out really well for the Chargers. And then the

1845
01:32:19,600 --> 01:32:23,000
Speaker 1: Ravens upgraded with Derrick Henry, who's you know, great, and

1846
01:32:23,280 --> 01:32:25,800
Speaker 1: that has worked out really well for the Ravens. Lamar

1847
01:32:25,880 --> 01:32:27,800
Speaker 1: Jackson probably gonna have another MVP.

1848
01:32:28,280 --> 01:32:30,360
Speaker 2: I like your you know, bringing up like, oh, well,

1849
01:32:30,479 --> 01:32:33,439
Speaker 2: you know, Chargers got these cast offs like yeah, I

1850
01:32:33,439 --> 01:32:36,000
Speaker 2: mean the Chiefs got the cast off of Hollywood Brown.

1851
01:32:38,800 --> 01:32:40,840
Speaker 2: That that just shows you how dire the Straights are.

1852
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:44,680
Speaker 1: Absolutely, the Ravens are great, right, they just they took

1853
01:32:44,760 --> 01:32:46,640
Speaker 1: care of business in a in a division that was

1854
01:32:46,760 --> 01:32:49,920
Speaker 1: very competitive. I know we've kind of joked and shipped

1855
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:52,960
Speaker 1: on the Bengals, you know, the whole show, but that's

1856
01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:56,040
Speaker 1: a that's a team that just you know, fell in

1857
01:32:56,080 --> 01:32:58,400
Speaker 1: a hole early on and couldn't get out of it

1858
01:32:58,600 --> 01:33:01,200
Speaker 1: fast enough. And but they were tough and they played

1859
01:33:01,200 --> 01:33:03,360
Speaker 1: toe to toe with anybody. The Ravens are really good.

1860
01:33:03,400 --> 01:33:07,320
Speaker 1: They put them down. So I would not surprise me

1861
01:33:07,479 --> 01:33:11,360
Speaker 1: if the Ravens were the AFC Super Bowl like team.

1862
01:33:11,439 --> 01:33:13,760
Speaker 1: But it also win't surprised me if they lost week

1863
01:33:13,840 --> 01:33:16,800
Speaker 1: in the wildcard round because Lamar hasn't proven anything in

1864
01:33:16,840 --> 01:33:17,400
Speaker 1: the playoffs.

1865
01:33:17,760 --> 01:33:19,920
Speaker 2: So well, that's tough that. I mean, you just look

1866
01:33:19,960 --> 01:33:23,000
Speaker 2: back at like we were talking the single season rushing

1867
01:33:23,080 --> 01:33:26,640
Speaker 2: record and it's just like, well, Adrian Peterson's team made it,

1868
01:33:26,680 --> 01:33:27,479
Speaker 2: they didn't go very.

1869
01:33:27,400 --> 01:33:28,960
Speaker 1: Far, and yeah, exactly.

1870
01:33:29,040 --> 01:33:31,559
Speaker 2: It's like if you're dependent on a running back, you

1871
01:33:31,600 --> 01:33:35,040
Speaker 2: know to be that much like there's a long history

1872
01:33:35,040 --> 01:33:39,720
Speaker 2: of great running backs that don't have great playoffs just

1873
01:33:39,800 --> 01:33:43,760
Speaker 2: due to how that game script goes. So yeah, if

1874
01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:47,240
Speaker 2: Lamar finds either, hey, the running game isn't going to

1875
01:33:47,320 --> 01:33:50,679
Speaker 2: go there all right. Is he able to make those

1876
01:33:50,720 --> 01:33:56,080
Speaker 2: plays passing? He can? He can. If Zay Flowers, if

1877
01:33:56,080 --> 01:33:58,599
Speaker 2: Mark Andrews get taken away on the passing, can they

1878
01:33:58,640 --> 01:34:01,960
Speaker 2: survive just on the rushing. They can? They could.

1879
01:34:02,080 --> 01:34:05,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the thing. But you take Derrick Henry away

1880
01:34:05,360 --> 01:34:08,400
Speaker 1: and then Lamar becomes the running game, right, Ye? And

1881
01:34:08,479 --> 01:34:11,400
Speaker 1: I will say that I was wrong when we did

1882
01:34:11,439 --> 01:34:14,680
Speaker 1: our pre season talk, and I did this on two

1883
01:34:14,760 --> 01:34:18,000
Speaker 1: different podcasts. I did this on WTL and I did

1884
01:34:18,000 --> 01:34:21,599
Speaker 1: this on Laugh with Me. I said that Lamar gets

1885
01:34:21,640 --> 01:34:23,760
Speaker 1: all this hype about being a running quarterback and he

1886
01:34:23,840 --> 01:34:27,400
Speaker 1: doesn't even run that much. Then the guy broke the

1887
01:34:27,640 --> 01:34:31,000
Speaker 1: like the record for most rushing yards. I couldn't have

1888
01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:33,720
Speaker 1: been more wrong. And when I saw that he got

1889
01:34:33,720 --> 01:34:35,559
Speaker 1: the record, I'm like, I gotta re I gotta re

1890
01:34:35,640 --> 01:34:36,320
Speaker 1: evaluate this.

1891
01:34:36,400 --> 01:34:39,120
Speaker 2: And I loved like that the first quarterback like four

1892
01:34:39,120 --> 01:34:41,920
Speaker 2: thousand yards passing and eight hundred yards rushing or something.

1893
01:34:41,960 --> 01:34:43,439
Speaker 1: I looked at it and I'm like, I couldn't have

1894
01:34:43,479 --> 01:34:45,240
Speaker 1: been more wrong. I don't know where I got my information,

1895
01:34:45,360 --> 01:34:48,840
Speaker 1: but the Yeah. But anyway, the Ravens really really good.

1896
01:34:49,040 --> 01:34:50,760
Speaker 1: They've been really really good for a long time now

1897
01:34:50,760 --> 01:34:54,320
Speaker 1: with Lamar quarterback. And I wouldn't surprise me if they

1898
01:34:54,320 --> 01:34:57,040
Speaker 1: went Super Bowl win surprised me the Austin round one.

1899
01:34:57,200 --> 01:34:57,439
Speaker 2: Yep.

1900
01:34:57,560 --> 01:34:59,719
Speaker 1: That's just kind of how this team has always been.

1901
01:35:00,720 --> 01:35:03,559
Speaker 1: Nothing's really changed. They have upgraded at spots, but kind

1902
01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:06,280
Speaker 1: of same. So the number one seed in the AFC.

1903
01:35:06,360 --> 01:35:09,800
Speaker 2: And this is before you get into this just yeah, Like,

1904
01:35:09,960 --> 01:35:12,240
Speaker 2: I mean, anyway, if you know about football, you already

1905
01:35:12,280 --> 01:35:14,479
Speaker 2: know who our number one seeds are getting for like

1906
01:35:14,520 --> 01:35:18,240
Speaker 2: both these but just when you think about sad sack

1907
01:35:18,880 --> 01:35:21,559
Speaker 2: franchises when you think of like just it's the bottom

1908
01:35:21,560 --> 01:35:24,439
Speaker 2: five the like, yeah, like if you did a bottom

1909
01:35:24,479 --> 01:35:27,439
Speaker 2: five for all of football. Yeah, Like, it's a very

1910
01:35:27,479 --> 01:35:29,720
Speaker 2: good chance that these like one of these teams is

1911
01:35:29,760 --> 01:35:32,240
Speaker 2: probably the worst, and one of these teams is probably

1912
01:35:32,280 --> 01:35:36,080
Speaker 2: floating around there just for neither one on one who

1913
01:35:36,080 --> 01:35:39,040
Speaker 2: won a Super Bowl. Yep. I mean the team that

1914
01:35:39,040 --> 01:35:42,080
Speaker 2: you're about to announce has famously lost multiple Super Bowls

1915
01:35:42,080 --> 01:35:46,000
Speaker 2: in a row. Yes, in a row, but was it

1916
01:35:46,080 --> 01:35:50,600
Speaker 2: like four like the early nineties?

1917
01:35:51,120 --> 01:35:53,559
Speaker 1: Like my favorite team, the Chargers, has never even played

1918
01:35:53,560 --> 01:35:58,479
Speaker 1: in for Super Bowls, let alone lost four in a row. Yeah,

1919
01:35:58,479 --> 01:36:01,799
Speaker 1: And the team you're gonna talk about is like the stand.

1920
01:36:01,840 --> 01:36:04,600
Speaker 1: Like if you had a definition in the dictionary of

1921
01:36:04,720 --> 01:36:08,800
Speaker 1: like sad sack teams of the NFL history, this is it.

1922
01:36:08,880 --> 01:36:10,080
Speaker 1: This is the one no.

1923
01:36:10,560 --> 01:36:14,040
Speaker 2: You know, yes, and one of those that not too

1924
01:36:14,080 --> 01:36:15,519
Speaker 2: long ago here in the last couple of years, was

1925
01:36:15,520 --> 01:36:18,440
Speaker 2: celebrating their first playoff win since the nineties.

1926
01:36:18,720 --> 01:36:25,439
Speaker 1: Yep. It's it's kind of interesting that you find these

1927
01:36:25,479 --> 01:36:28,760
Speaker 1: teams and what's the difference and like what gets them there?

1928
01:36:28,800 --> 01:36:32,200
Speaker 1: Because both like the Buffalo Bills right in the AFC,

1929
01:36:32,400 --> 01:36:35,080
Speaker 1: they're to me the one seed, they're the two seed

1930
01:36:35,240 --> 01:36:38,400
Speaker 1: in reality, but they they're the best team. I mean,

1931
01:36:38,439 --> 01:36:40,360
Speaker 1: they're the one to beat. Josh Allen is on a

1932
01:36:40,400 --> 01:36:43,360
Speaker 1: tear and has been from the get like he if

1933
01:36:43,439 --> 01:36:47,320
Speaker 1: Lamar doesn't win MVP, it's gonna be Josh Allen and

1934
01:36:47,320 --> 01:36:50,040
Speaker 1: and or Joe is Joe Burrow gonna win MVP.

1935
01:36:50,320 --> 01:36:52,559
Speaker 2: Well, and just it kind of brought up, you know here,

1936
01:36:52,640 --> 01:36:54,800
Speaker 2: we were just talking about how great Lamar Jackson is.

1937
01:36:54,920 --> 01:36:57,320
Speaker 2: So what's the difference between Lamar and like Josh Allen.

1938
01:36:58,120 --> 01:37:00,360
Speaker 2: So a couple of years ago, you had that Leary

1939
01:37:00,400 --> 01:37:04,360
Speaker 2: AFC Championship where Patrick Mahomes scored the touchdown in thirteen

1940
01:37:04,439 --> 01:37:07,920
Speaker 2: seconds well that was in answer to Josh Allen scoring

1941
01:37:07,960 --> 01:37:11,200
Speaker 2: a touchdown in thirty seconds, right, So we've seen that

1942
01:37:11,280 --> 01:37:13,639
Speaker 2: stretch from Josh Allen, We've seen it. We haven't seen

1943
01:37:13,640 --> 01:37:17,000
Speaker 2: that stretch from a Lamar where it's just hey we

1944
01:37:17,080 --> 01:37:19,519
Speaker 2: got twenty seconds, I got to score a.

1945
01:37:19,479 --> 01:37:20,559
Speaker 1: Touchdown, go win, it's the game.

1946
01:37:20,720 --> 01:37:20,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1947
01:37:21,400 --> 01:37:23,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, Josh Allen's certainly capable of it and has shown

1948
01:37:24,000 --> 01:37:27,160
Speaker 1: that he's capable of it. He's also lost big, big,

1949
01:37:27,280 --> 01:37:31,000
Speaker 1: big games standing on the sideline watching yep, and many

1950
01:37:31,040 --> 01:37:33,439
Speaker 1: of them, right, And we've seen that too, So it's

1951
01:37:33,479 --> 01:37:36,200
Speaker 1: not just on him. He's great. What else is new?

1952
01:37:36,280 --> 01:37:36,519
Speaker 2: Right?

1953
01:37:37,760 --> 01:37:40,639
Speaker 1: This team's that just really been good, Like it seemed

1954
01:37:40,640 --> 01:37:42,920
Speaker 1: like it was you know, going into the year, there

1955
01:37:42,960 --> 01:37:44,640
Speaker 1: was a handful of teams that were like, all right,

1956
01:37:44,680 --> 01:37:46,840
Speaker 1: this is our all in year. This is a team

1957
01:37:46,880 --> 01:37:49,760
Speaker 1: that may not be together again next year. Top down,

1958
01:37:50,640 --> 01:37:52,760
Speaker 1: We've had a good run, but we haven't quite got there. Yeah,

1959
01:37:52,840 --> 01:37:55,240
Speaker 1: Bills are one of them. They're like the one that

1960
01:37:55,280 --> 01:37:55,880
Speaker 1: put it together.

1961
01:37:56,479 --> 01:37:58,479
Speaker 2: And that's you know, we've kind of said a couple

1962
01:37:58,479 --> 01:38:01,080
Speaker 2: of times teams that are head of schedule. Yeah, like

1963
01:38:01,120 --> 01:38:05,439
Speaker 2: the Bills were getting rid of you know, gigs, the contract. Yea,

1964
01:38:05,560 --> 01:38:07,320
Speaker 2: Like a lot of people were kind of like, well,

1965
01:38:07,320 --> 01:38:09,559
Speaker 2: it's gonna take a year maybe two, Like you're gonna

1966
01:38:09,560 --> 01:38:11,280
Speaker 2: have to rebuild, you know, restock.

1967
01:38:11,920 --> 01:38:13,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a team that's like, if we don't

1968
01:38:13,840 --> 01:38:16,320
Speaker 1: do it this year, we're gonna have to retool, figure

1969
01:38:16,320 --> 01:38:18,799
Speaker 1: it out, maybe make a coaching change that would surprise

1970
01:38:18,880 --> 01:38:22,720
Speaker 1: people because they haven't got it. You know, this is

1971
01:38:22,760 --> 01:38:27,200
Speaker 1: a really good team that is obviously you're you know,

1972
01:38:27,280 --> 01:38:29,360
Speaker 1: it's like I'm sitting here as a Chargers fan thinking

1973
01:38:29,680 --> 01:38:32,280
Speaker 1: i need the Bills to get upset, you know, like

1974
01:38:32,600 --> 01:38:33,799
Speaker 1: I don't want to play them.

1975
01:38:33,840 --> 01:38:36,000
Speaker 2: The same thing that I'm saying with the Eagles. Yeah,

1976
01:38:37,920 --> 01:38:41,719
Speaker 2: like I I wish nothing but the worst on the Packers.

1977
01:38:41,760 --> 01:38:44,759
Speaker 2: But hey, I mean if they knocked the Eagles off, Yeah.

1978
01:38:45,439 --> 01:38:49,120
Speaker 1: So therefore wouldn't wouldn't break my heart if the Bills

1979
01:38:49,120 --> 01:38:53,200
Speaker 1: were knocked out here in the first round. But it's

1980
01:38:53,200 --> 01:38:56,120
Speaker 1: not likely. They're so good, I mean, they they should

1981
01:38:56,120 --> 01:38:58,479
Speaker 1: be the one. That's where it's like it really sucks

1982
01:38:58,479 --> 01:39:00,479
Speaker 1: that they kind of they seed it the way they do.

1983
01:39:00,800 --> 01:39:02,720
Speaker 1: This is a really good team and they have been

1984
01:39:02,760 --> 01:39:03,280
Speaker 1: all season.

1985
01:39:04,160 --> 01:39:08,519
Speaker 2: But uh, just imagine you like kind of dictating like

1986
01:39:08,600 --> 01:39:11,559
Speaker 2: a letter to like Goodell, like it really sucks.

1987
01:39:11,600 --> 01:39:12,719
Speaker 1: It really sucks.

1988
01:39:13,040 --> 01:39:16,640
Speaker 2: It really sucks that the Bills are at the first seed. Yeah,

1989
01:39:16,439 --> 01:39:19,479
Speaker 2: the Vikings go fourteen and three and they're not hosting

1990
01:39:19,520 --> 01:39:21,240
Speaker 2: a game like it really.

1991
01:39:21,439 --> 01:39:24,400
Speaker 1: Really and that's my that's my whole stance. You think

1992
01:39:24,439 --> 01:39:29,439
Speaker 1: you'd read it Roger Goodell as people that read his things,

1993
01:39:29,479 --> 01:39:30,360
Speaker 1: or do you think he reads it?

1994
01:39:30,360 --> 01:39:33,360
Speaker 2: What kind of stationary you got, because I got legal

1995
01:39:33,360 --> 01:39:35,479
Speaker 2: pad in front of you. Yeah, I mean not not

1996
01:39:35,560 --> 01:39:36,040
Speaker 2: with that.

1997
01:39:36,040 --> 01:39:38,240
Speaker 1: All right, I'll figure something else out. I send an

1998
01:39:38,240 --> 01:39:41,760
Speaker 1: email when that go to junk if I send him

1999
01:39:41,760 --> 01:39:44,800
Speaker 1: an emails are going to yeah right.

2000
01:39:44,760 --> 01:39:47,639
Speaker 2: I think you gotta go borrow some stationary from your kids.

2001
01:39:47,680 --> 01:39:50,840
Speaker 2: Your kids probably have some sort of novelty like kids

2002
01:39:51,479 --> 01:39:55,920
Speaker 2: the unicorn, Yeah yeah, the unicorn turtle or something.

2003
01:39:55,960 --> 01:40:00,360
Speaker 1: It really sucks. It's this nice thirteen year old letter

2004
01:40:00,400 --> 01:40:03,600
Speaker 1: Jeremy Odum like I'm not thirteen, damn.

2005
01:40:03,280 --> 01:40:06,320
Speaker 2: It, I signed it. Jeremy Odum laughed with me.

2006
01:40:06,400 --> 01:40:09,240
Speaker 1: Pod I should I should send it crayon. See if

2007
01:40:09,240 --> 01:40:10,760
Speaker 1: he thinks I'm a kid, he'll come on the pod.

2008
01:40:10,920 --> 01:40:15,440
Speaker 2: Well, or you have Johnny write it. He's got the handwriting.

2009
01:40:15,760 --> 01:40:16,479
Speaker 2: It's like a child.

2010
01:40:16,600 --> 01:40:20,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I love it. Read the reading of a child.

2011
01:40:21,200 --> 01:40:23,920
Speaker 2: Well, dictate it to Johnny. Johnny writes it down and

2012
01:40:24,040 --> 01:40:25,680
Speaker 2: have Brayden's spell check it.

2013
01:40:25,800 --> 01:40:29,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, good call. You don't want me doing that? Yeah, yeah,

2014
01:40:29,680 --> 01:40:31,360
Speaker 1: all right, Well we know your one is.

2015
01:40:31,640 --> 01:40:34,519
Speaker 2: It seems incredible, it's well and it's also one of

2016
01:40:34,560 --> 01:40:39,120
Speaker 2: those that, like I I would Detroit Lions. I mean

2017
01:40:39,160 --> 01:40:41,400
Speaker 2: I would a little bit put them in that paper

2018
01:40:41,439 --> 01:40:48,479
Speaker 2: tiger type of category right now of just like you

2019
01:40:48,479 --> 01:40:51,240
Speaker 2: you could break them, like maybe a glass tiger would

2020
01:40:51,240 --> 01:40:53,599
Speaker 2: be a better way of saying it, Like if somebody

2021
01:40:53,680 --> 01:40:57,600
Speaker 2: hit them hard enough, like this team could shatter. Like

2022
01:40:57,680 --> 01:41:02,040
Speaker 2: their defense is so depleted there, you know, their offense

2023
01:41:02,320 --> 01:41:04,960
Speaker 2: is depleted. Although I hear that David Montgomery, now that

2024
01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:09,160
Speaker 2: he's skipped, might be back. But it's just it's another

2025
01:41:09,200 --> 01:41:10,680
Speaker 2: one of those things where it's just like, if they

2026
01:41:10,720 --> 01:41:13,400
Speaker 2: got themselves in a bad situation early in a game,

2027
01:41:14,439 --> 01:41:16,800
Speaker 2: can they dig out? Because we didn't really see them

2028
01:41:16,880 --> 01:41:18,960
Speaker 2: have to do very many games where they came back.

2029
01:41:19,920 --> 01:41:22,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's a good point. They haven't been in

2030
01:41:22,560 --> 01:41:25,639
Speaker 1: bad spots really all season. They're really good team.

2031
01:41:25,720 --> 01:41:28,200
Speaker 2: I mean I was whinding earlier about the Vikings going

2032
01:41:28,280 --> 01:41:31,080
Speaker 2: oh for eight, you know, goal to go in that game.

2033
01:41:32,200 --> 01:41:34,160
Speaker 2: But the thing is is like, even if the Vikings

2034
01:41:34,160 --> 01:41:37,880
Speaker 2: scored two touchdowns in the first half and they go

2035
01:41:37,920 --> 01:41:40,800
Speaker 2: in there and it's you know, twenty three to ten,

2036
01:41:41,680 --> 01:41:44,559
Speaker 2: they're probably not safe in that game because the Lions

2037
01:41:44,680 --> 01:41:48,400
Speaker 2: offense have eventually like wore down that defense. But you

2038
01:41:48,439 --> 01:41:50,559
Speaker 2: can see where like a team that was able to

2039
01:41:50,600 --> 01:41:54,000
Speaker 2: put consistent pressure on them would be able to win that.

2040
01:41:57,439 --> 01:41:59,880
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean it's kind of one of those

2041
01:42:00,600 --> 01:42:02,920
Speaker 2: all right, Well, if you're betting on the Lions each

2042
01:42:02,920 --> 01:42:06,880
Speaker 2: week and I'm betting on it, and we're both sitting

2043
01:42:06,920 --> 01:42:09,840
Speaker 2: here in agreement like, oh they could lose, well stop

2044
01:42:09,840 --> 01:42:13,240
Speaker 2: betting on them, stop betting them. Yeah, well you first, Yeah,

2045
01:42:13,280 --> 01:42:15,639
Speaker 2: who's gonna stop? Yeah, And so it's kind of like

2046
01:42:16,280 --> 01:42:17,120
Speaker 2: we have it on by.

2047
01:42:17,200 --> 01:42:18,519
Speaker 1: I'm like, what's their line they're on By.

2048
01:42:18,720 --> 01:42:22,040
Speaker 2: We haven't seen them lose, so we don't necessarily know

2049
01:42:22,080 --> 01:42:26,200
Speaker 2: what that looks like. Like they well they lost to

2050
01:42:26,240 --> 01:42:28,960
Speaker 2: the Bucks, the forgotten team, and that was.

2051
01:42:28,960 --> 01:42:31,400
Speaker 1: Just such a wild that's just such a weird anomaly

2052
01:42:31,439 --> 01:42:33,960
Speaker 1: of a game. But the you know, we talked about

2053
01:42:34,000 --> 01:42:38,040
Speaker 1: like players on teams that give you hope no matter

2054
01:42:38,080 --> 01:42:40,040
Speaker 1: what because they're on the field, like Patrick Mahomes, right,

2055
01:42:40,920 --> 01:42:43,920
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell's like that just as the head coach. It

2056
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:46,680
Speaker 1: just seems like within there they feel like they can

2057
01:42:46,720 --> 01:42:49,280
Speaker 1: do anything, yep, because he's got their back and he's

2058
01:42:49,320 --> 01:42:52,360
Speaker 1: just like, go, go go, like he's just ballsy out there.

2059
01:42:52,640 --> 01:42:56,559
Speaker 2: Well, it was like in that that Vikings game, like

2060
01:42:56,640 --> 01:43:00,760
Speaker 2: the Vikings got to stop two fourth downs and got

2061
01:43:00,760 --> 01:43:03,640
Speaker 2: turnovers off of it. If VI kids forced two turnovers,

2062
01:43:04,720 --> 01:43:07,920
Speaker 2: they didn't have any turnovers of themselves other than turnover

2063
01:43:08,000 --> 01:43:12,479
Speaker 2: on downs and they still got beat by twenty plus points.

2064
01:43:12,560 --> 01:43:15,679
Speaker 2: They did, And it's just you know, wild. But again,

2065
01:43:15,760 --> 01:43:18,000
Speaker 2: I mean I've been a fan of that for a

2066
01:43:18,040 --> 01:43:19,840
Speaker 2: long time of just hey, you gotta go for it.

2067
01:43:19,880 --> 01:43:23,320
Speaker 2: You got we play to win the game? Yeah, go

2068
01:43:23,439 --> 01:43:24,360
Speaker 2: for it. Yep.

2069
01:43:27,000 --> 01:43:29,680
Speaker 1: Well, Detroit Lyons. At the end of the day, we

2070
01:43:29,800 --> 01:43:33,120
Speaker 1: just ranked all the teams right one through seven, Who's

2071
01:43:33,160 --> 01:43:34,719
Speaker 1: going to the Super Bowl from the NFC?

2072
01:43:37,240 --> 01:43:41,040
Speaker 2: I would if I had to bet my life on

2073
01:43:41,120 --> 01:43:46,360
Speaker 2: it that I didn't know what stakes to put on these, Yeah,

2074
01:43:46,400 --> 01:43:49,600
Speaker 2: you just that was probably probably a bit much. That

2075
01:43:49,720 --> 01:43:51,519
Speaker 2: was probably a bit much. If I had to all right,

2076
01:43:51,600 --> 01:43:53,440
Speaker 2: if I had to bet a thousand dollars.

2077
01:43:53,280 --> 01:43:54,360
Speaker 1: Okay, that's much better.

2078
01:43:56,240 --> 01:44:00,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I'd probably I do think that the

2079
01:44:00,200 --> 01:44:04,880
Speaker 2: Eagles probably have that shot, okay, just from their path,

2080
01:44:05,880 --> 01:44:09,840
Speaker 2: like they're the farthest away from Detroit. And as we said,

2081
01:44:09,880 --> 01:44:13,880
Speaker 2: there's there's three there's three teams in the NFC, and

2082
01:44:13,880 --> 01:44:17,640
Speaker 2: then there's a falloff and we already know just do

2083
01:44:17,800 --> 01:44:21,000
Speaker 2: to how the wild card is. The Vikings are going

2084
01:44:21,280 --> 01:44:23,759
Speaker 2: like it's almost assured that they're gonna have to play

2085
01:44:23,760 --> 01:44:28,000
Speaker 2: at Detroit before they play at Philly, and it's just like, okay,

2086
01:44:28,080 --> 01:44:30,320
Speaker 2: so Philly's just got to sit and see who wins

2087
01:44:30,320 --> 01:44:30,719
Speaker 2: that game.

2088
01:44:33,240 --> 01:44:35,480
Speaker 1: Here's how I think the AFC is gonna play out.

2089
01:44:36,960 --> 01:44:41,960
Speaker 1: And this is as a Chargers fan, Okay, I feel

2090
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:45,400
Speaker 1: like we're gonna we're gonna blow it. We're gonna lose

2091
01:44:45,439 --> 01:44:51,960
Speaker 1: the Houston okay. And then Houston now is playing the Chiefs. Well,

2092
01:44:51,960 --> 01:44:54,240
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are gonna win that game, yep. So then

2093
01:44:54,280 --> 01:44:59,599
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have advanced. Then I see the Broncos upsetting

2094
01:44:59,640 --> 01:45:00,120
Speaker 1: the bill.

2095
01:45:01,600 --> 01:45:02,320
Speaker 2: Oh geez.

2096
01:45:02,880 --> 01:45:07,840
Speaker 1: And then I see the Ravens beating the Steelers, and

2097
01:45:07,880 --> 01:45:13,720
Speaker 1: then the Broncos beating the Ravens.

2098
01:45:14,240 --> 01:45:17,679
Speaker 2: This, this is contrary to your entire rankings.

2099
01:45:17,040 --> 01:45:22,559
Speaker 1: And the objection Chiefs beating the Broncos and the Chiefs

2100
01:45:22,600 --> 01:45:25,559
Speaker 1: going to the super Bowl again with the easy path

2101
01:45:26,080 --> 01:45:28,439
Speaker 1: even though they're not.

2102
01:45:28,439 --> 01:45:30,439
Speaker 2: That How often do we see that during like the

2103
01:45:30,479 --> 01:45:33,400
Speaker 2: Belichicks of Patriots writers, It's just like, this is the

2104
01:45:33,439 --> 01:45:36,760
Speaker 2: most boring Patriots team ever, Like I had somehow they

2105
01:45:36,800 --> 01:45:40,000
Speaker 2: face like Jacksonville. But you can see championships and you're

2106
01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:41,800
Speaker 2: just like why how why?

2107
01:45:41,960 --> 01:45:45,599
Speaker 1: How you can see it. You can see you can

2108
01:45:45,640 --> 01:45:48,400
Speaker 1: see the poster, you can see Patrick Mahomes versus Bone Nicks,

2109
01:45:49,000 --> 01:45:52,760
Speaker 1: super Bowl, Sean Payton for Sandy Reid. You can see it.

2110
01:45:53,640 --> 01:45:56,880
Speaker 1: I don't want it, right, I just this is the

2111
01:45:56,920 --> 01:45:59,720
Speaker 1: path for the Chiefs if that doesn't happen. I mean,

2112
01:45:59,720 --> 01:46:06,759
Speaker 1: buff I was pretty freaking good. Yeah, that's yeah.

2113
01:46:06,840 --> 01:46:10,200
Speaker 2: I like how we both picked scenarios that we hate.

2114
01:46:10,640 --> 01:46:14,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, because we were we we root for teams that

2115
01:46:14,320 --> 01:46:17,759
Speaker 1: we've we've had so much more heartbreak than than success.

2116
01:46:17,960 --> 01:46:19,920
Speaker 2: I think I would probably pick I mean, outside of

2117
01:46:19,920 --> 01:46:22,200
Speaker 2: Green Bay, let's just drop them on. Yeah, But I

2118
01:46:22,240 --> 01:46:24,160
Speaker 2: think i'd pick any other team in the NFC over

2119
01:46:24,200 --> 01:46:26,840
Speaker 2: the Philly on, like just from my enjoyment level as

2120
01:46:26,880 --> 01:46:29,280
Speaker 2: a fan. Yep, but I just assume that bad things

2121
01:46:29,320 --> 01:46:29,920
Speaker 2: are going to happen.

2122
01:46:30,120 --> 01:46:32,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm the same way. The last thing I want

2123
01:46:32,760 --> 01:46:34,599
Speaker 1: is the Chiefs back in the Super Bowl. I don't

2124
01:46:34,600 --> 01:46:37,160
Speaker 1: even want him the AFC Championship game, Like, just let's

2125
01:46:37,320 --> 01:46:38,920
Speaker 1: let's freshen it up a little bit, right.

2126
01:46:38,960 --> 01:46:42,000
Speaker 2: What if Kelsey catches that winning touchdown though, and just

2127
01:46:42,040 --> 01:46:44,479
Speaker 2: gets down on one knee and he's got he's got

2128
01:46:44,479 --> 01:46:47,840
Speaker 2: a diamond ring tucked behind the you know, in the goalposts,

2129
01:46:47,880 --> 01:46:51,280
Speaker 2: and just holds it up towards the that's luxury box.

2130
01:46:51,840 --> 01:46:56,840
Speaker 1: I will puke, and I'll I'm on the record right

2131
01:46:56,840 --> 01:47:00,200
Speaker 1: now saying I will puke. I'll make myself puke and

2132
01:47:00,320 --> 01:47:00,800
Speaker 1: your your.

2133
01:47:00,720 --> 01:47:03,120
Speaker 2: Wife will be like, ah, Taylor Swift.
