WEBVTT - Week 13 preview 0:00:01.160 --> 0:00:06.360 The Around the NFL Podcast would never get benched for 0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:10.399 cold McCoy. Welcome back to another edition of the Around 0:00:10.440 --> 0:00:12.799 the NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Hansis, and I 0:00:12.840 --> 0:00:15.720 am joined by a room just filled with hero heroes 0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:19.640 teaming with heroes Mark Sesler, Chris Westling and Greg Rows 0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:24.439 the dog. What U boys? Hi? Diane? Hey there, that's 0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:28.680 your imitation of our invitations? Hey dame, Hi Diane west 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:33.480 back from his marathon tape study and his off day. 0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:35.880 How how did it go? By the way, was Uh, 0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:39.559 lots of afternoon sleeping mixed with film study, but then 0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:42.239 I couldn't sleep all night. The Bear still win. The 0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:45.320 Bears one and Jake Cutler had one drive the entire game. 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:49.120 What was the biggest takeaway from your film watching? If 0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:51.519 we might just take a peek behind the curtain, My 0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:55.240 biggest takeaway was the Broncos concentrating on establishing the run 0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:57.680 with two undrafted backs, which tells us a lot about 0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:00.440 where the NFL is now with running backs. It also 0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:03.240 tells us that they wanted to keep the opposing defenses 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:05.960 honest because they were blitzing so much the previous couple 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:08.280 of weeks. That is why they call him the scientists. 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:11.040 That's why he's also known as the Mailman. He's so knowledgeable. 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:15.000 He has two nicknames. Big Show Today, this is our 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:18.400 Wednesday show, a special show pre Thanksgiving. The schedule got 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:20.920 bumped up a little bit because of the holiday. So 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:26.040 for those of us in America, great country, this is 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:30.240 Happy Thanksgiving, and to all the listeners abroad, Happy Thursday. 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:34.240 Happy You can celebrate Thanksgiving if you want in any country, 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:38.120 you guys could think just get some turkey or the 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:41.560 concept to some, especially in the United Kingdom, is not 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:45.400 a totally welcome concept, I would imagine. But why would 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:48.760 they have a problem with us discovering the land. Well, hey, 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:52.080 we didn't discover it. Let's get down to business. But 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:56.080 be like, it's like we completely disjoined from your country. 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:58.800 Do you think England is still bitter about every single 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:00.920 country that used to have deming, Not at all. But 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:02.800 it's they're not probably saying, you know, this is the 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:04.800 day that we really want to get down and enjoy 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:07.920 the consequence. It's just an excuse to eat and drink. Basically, 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:09.840 by the way, I know where Mark Sessler stands on 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:13.000 the Washington football team's nickname. I just want to say, 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:19.440 I have no opinions about anything. I think Mark, who 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:22.480 lived for a long time in the UK, maybe you 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:25.360 still harbor some resentment was free so I don't know 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.520 where their head was at. Politically. I thought that was 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:29.080 just an eight shot at Mark. I thought you were 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:32.600 just saying Mark is limp for a long time. Uh So, 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:35.839 great show today, great show West. Great to have you back. 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.480 Wasn't the same without you? To Greg, we felt the 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:41.040 same way on Sunday without you. Mark and I the 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:42.720 cal Ripkens of the room. Just keep it, you know, 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:46.359 we stay here, we keep after day. Um so here 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:49.480 we are. We are going to go through all the 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.919 games on Sunday today, and uh well, go go through 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:54.960 all those games on Sunday, the Monday night game, the 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.480 Jets back in prime time on Monday. I know America 0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.640 is ready for that as I am. It's great games 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.640 to get to. But there is a marquee game. I 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:06.079 this kind of the game that we're about to get 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:07.960 into here, and this is of course the New England 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.959 Patriots and the Green Bay Packers. To me, this conjures 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:14.600 up memories. While it's not totally clean, and it's a 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:17.800 little apples and oranges, but the old Niners Cowboys matchups 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:19.640 in the early nineties where you look forward to it 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:21.280 like it was a playoff game even though it's the 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.239 regular season. Here are the two best teams in football 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.600 right now squaring off at Lambeau. So why don't we 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.960 start right there and get right into we'll talk about 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:33.720 that game. This is a game where the Packers are 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:36.880 just killing everybody right now. What is the The Patriots 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.920 have won seven straight games, They're they're doubling everyone and 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:43.200 scoring over that time average average margin of victory for 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:46.640 twenty over the past seven weeks. The Packers are nearly 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:49.760 unstoppable or unstoppable at Lambeau. It feels like right now, 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:54.120 so now here you go unstoppable force, immovable object. Who wins? Guys? 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:59.080 I think we all picked Green Bay outside of right, 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.520 So why don't Intriots? Yeah, well, I don't need to 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:03.880 defend it. Well, first of all, it's a better Patriots defense, 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:05.680 and we think I think the winning team here is 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:09.600 the defense that truly is better than they were early 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:11.080 in the season. The Packers have gotten a lot better. 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.080 The Patriots have too. I mean they have the best 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.000 secondary they've had a long time. Chandler Jones returned for 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.839 a limited practice here. People kind of forgot that their 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:22.359 best pass rusher hasn't been around for this entire great stretch, 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.400 And it comes down to Belichick whether he can cook 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:28.640 up a scheme on defense to slow down Aaron Rodgers 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.120 like he did for Luck in Peyton Manning. So I 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:34.280 looked just as quickly at their offense where it's they're 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:36.000 almost like a college team in the way where they 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.560 just go in they take away the best part of 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:40.840 the opposing defense and game plan week to week. We 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.680 don't see the same offense from New England from week 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:45.960 ten to week till eleven week twelve, but they'll still 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:47.960 change it up and put different players in there. I 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:50.480 can't wait to see how they attack Green Bay's defense. 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:54.560 Aaron Rodger's the toughest quarterback in the league to prepare for, though, 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:58.160 because he's got the pre snap look and the smart 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:00.480 of Tom Brady, but he has the athletic bis um 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:03.039 of Andrew lock and Russell Wilson, So it's like you 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:05.279 can come up with a great plan. He's the best 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:08.680 at the league at winning late after you've already come 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:10.280 up with a good defense to stop him, and then 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:13.839 he just creates craziness. Yeah, let's see how Let's see 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:16.560 if the Patriots can stay in here till halftime, because 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:20.400 no one else is I mean, thirty to three, thirty 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:22.440 eight to three, forty two to nothing, and forty five 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:24.840 to nothing I believe have been the halftime scores in 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:27.200 Lambeau the past four games. Right, But who who are 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:30.839 those against? I mean Minnesota, Tomato, Carolina, Chicago and Philly 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:35.479 which was a legitimately great win. The Patriots are going 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:37.640 through the best stretch that they've gone through in more 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:39.919 than a decade. I think this is the best Patriots 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:44.080 team since two thousand and four, uh, two thousand seven 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:46.440 obviously as well. I forgot about that for a second. 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:48.719 But but if you think of the stretch that they're on, 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:50.600 I mean, even in two thousand seven, they never had 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.680 a stretch where they beat four straight division leaders or 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.320 co leaders by an average of forty to eighteen by 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:58.080 more than twenty point. And you really can't have a 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:00.760 more impressive month than they've had over the last month. 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:04.120 People are gonna get very um hung up, and rightfully 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:06.920 so on the quarterback matchup between two future Hall of famers. 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:08.920 Very interesting to see what goes on in the backfield here? 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:11.279 Eddie Lacy, by the way, he started off very poorly 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:14.240 this season, has turned into a monster in recent weeks, 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:16.880 both as a receiver and running the football, and he's 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:18.520 up to out of nowhere. I think he has nine 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.320 or ten touchdowns. Now, this is something a guy who 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:24.000 did nothing for September, all of a sudden has some 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.240 really nice numbers. And the other side of the ball. 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:28.880 I find the Patriots intriguing because who's going to be 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:32.200 the guy back there? Jonas Gray two yards, four touchdowns 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:36.240 two weeks ago, then he gets benched after over sleeping 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.080 and Lagart Blunt comes in and Rusha's for two touchdowns 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.440 and look looks good doing it. Who do we see 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:44.040 being the main guy in that backfield or is there 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.720 not a main guy there? Well? I think the Patriots 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:52.480 approach every game planning their backfield too. It totally depends 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.280 on the opposing defense and the matchups. In this game, 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:57.880 the pay the Packers run defense has been better, but 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:00.640 for a while they're the worst run defense in the NFL. 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:03.320 I would imagine they planned to do some running. I 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:05.760 think it's also something where you change it up quarter back, 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:08.160 quarter and the Patriots and the Packers are very good 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:09.760 at that. That That were a little mix in the Uptomp 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:12.560 film the second quarter because Dom Caper's is kind of 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:15.920 one of those game planned defensive coordinators where he's gonna 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:18.080 cook up some things and you never really want him 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:20.240 to key on it. And it's a good matchup kind 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:22.920 of the coaches between McDaniels and Capers, who I think 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:27.400 we talked about the Patriots secondary. Patriots aren't allowing anybody 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:29.080 to run the ball the last few weeks either. Ever 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:31.400 since the Denver game, they've shut down running games. It 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:34.720 does bode well that against Detroit, Golden Tate has been 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:36.880 amazing him and Megatron. I thought that was a chance 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:39.640 for New England's defense to get hit up a little 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:41.840 bit there, and they shut that team down. So I 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:45.760 think Ron Mayo, you miss him as a Patriots fan, 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.600 that he's not there, but Donte Hightower has been playing 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:50.800 at a higher level than I think Jared Mayo's played 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:53.239 for the last as a Patriots fan, do you feel 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:55.640 like are we correct in what we've been saying all 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:58.840 season that you simply just glide from one beautiful mountain 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.360 top to the next. Well, it is what you do. 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:03.680 It's Patriots. It's nice to have a game like this 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.040 where you would hate to see them get blown out, 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:08.720 but it's kind of like you could accept that loss, 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:11.800 that it's just a great football. I don't even like 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:15.120 this narrative, because, if anything, it's the other way around. 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:19.040 Are blowing everybody out. I don't care where they're going. 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:22.280 Why are we not assuming that they might? Why didn't 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:25.239 you just saying we're not always right as the standings 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:28.000 clearly indicate like that, we should not overlook that the 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:30.080 Patriots could lay a whooping on the Packers because they're 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:33.440 killing everybody right now. I am. I am loving the 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:36.200 fact that I have a potential hero pick for a 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:38.960 team that it just had the best month in about 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:41.360 seven or eight years of any team. That's what we're saying, 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:44.520 one ease after the next, all it's all soft Land. 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.719 You can, I mean, you can come over there. We 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:49.640 got a couple of years left to Brady and Belichick 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:52.439 maybe too. I'm not just a couple won't last forever. 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:56.400 Let's move on to our second game we're really excited about, 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.360 and it is the Denver Broncos, the defending a f 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:02.800 C champion and head to Kansas City. The Broncos of course, 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:06.400 coming off that comeback win over the Dolphins, and now 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:08.360 the Chiefs get the Broncos at home. This is a 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:11.280 huge game for both teams. Really. Denver comes in at 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:13.439 eight and three, Kansas City at seven and four, So 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:17.160 first places at stake in this game. Uh, start with you, Greg, 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:20.400 what are you looking for in this game? Well, if 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:23.240 the Kansas City Chiefs can come up with a better 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:26.079 way to get to Peyton Manning than than Miami did, 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:29.520 because after two games where Peyton Manning and that offensive 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:33.680 line looked very ordinary, they got the ball out of 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.640 his hands so quickly. They played almost a perfect game 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:38.600 against a really good defense. Now they go to a 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:42.920 hostile environment. I think Kansas City's defense is good enough 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:44.520 to give them problems and that this will be a 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:48.320 tough game. Well, as we mentioned in the beginning, the 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:51.360 Broncos came out and established the run. They weren't even 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:53.280 in the shotgun to begin the game, which is unusual 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.280 for them. They just ran heavy and that totally stopped 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.160 the Dolphins pass for rush and kept up Blitz from 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:02.160 being And I mean, justin Houston's been on fire. Dante 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.120 Poe has been on fire, so it's it's a more 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:07.520 difficult matchup. But I like what I saw the Broncos offense. 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:09.959 You know, the Denver they were almost perfect. You know, 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:12.840 they're well coached under Adam Gates too. When they're running 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:15.480 games seem completely in emic. They take, as you mentioned, 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:18.160 a couple of undrafted guys and then set them free. 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:21.000 I mean, that's that's good preparation. And the Broncos, something 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:24.160 was a weakness a month ago is turning into recently 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:26.360 a strength for them. I like that about the Broncos 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:30.000 Kansas City blowing that Oakland games gonna haunt them because 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:32.760 that killed their Wigo room. They have to win this game, 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:36.000 that would give them a season split with Denver. But 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:38.520 we all took the Broncos, right, I don't think anyone 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:41.240 took the Chiefs. Yeah. I think this is more of 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:43.320 a coin flip game though. I mean I took the 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:45.920 Chiefs when when Seattle came, I mean came in and 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:48.079 they took care of business there. Just because they had 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:50.800 a really ugly Thursday night game against Oakland, I'm not 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:52.680 kind of throwing in the towel. They were very good 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:55.240 for a while before that, and I remember what was 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:58.160 the game where Denver spanks someone? And I remember you 0:10:58.200 --> 0:10:59.920 wrote the posted to the best team of football is 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.200 about a month ago now trying to remember what that 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:04.760 game was, But they were playing. The Broncos are playing 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.560 at the level the way we view the Patriots right now. 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.040 The Broncos shows you how quickly NFL changes and how 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.880 things change, but they do see vulnerable. The last month 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:14.719 or so, there seems to be something a little bit off. 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:17.600 So that's why I totally agree this game can go 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:21.079 either way, especially playing it in Arrowhead. God, I almost 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:22.960 wanted to get frisky and go with the Chiefs, but 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:25.320 I'm not a man. I never thought that I would 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:28.080 be more excited about the Chief's offense just because Donnie 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.959 Avery is probably coming back this room. But they've needed it. 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:34.560 They don't have any other receivers beyond Dwayne Bow. They've 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:37.800 needed Donnie Avery. Are you at all disappointed? I'll throw 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:40.480 this out to anyone with the Broncos defense, because we 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:42.839 kind of thought that this was gonna be a top 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:46.199 five defense and it's been good. But there's a lot 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:47.880 of great players. But you know when you see him 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:50.520 against Miami, when you see him even against St. Louis 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.120 like they're not playing at the level. They're certainly not 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:55.840 a top five defense anymore. They seem to be going 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:57.920 through a rough stretch the last couple of weeks, but 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:01.559 von Miller dominated that second half against the Dolphins without 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:04.240 recording a sack. He was in the backfield almost every 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:06.240 time tan Hill dropped back. They only need to be 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:08.760 dominant in January. That's what they were built for. I mean, 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:11.800 it sounds it sounds simplistic, but the whole point is 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:14.120 that's where they fell apart last season. You don't want 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:15.880 to go to New England. And if they can win 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:18.240 this game in Kansas City, the rest of the schedule 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:21.000 sets up fairly well for Denver to run the table 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.839 and really forced New England to also run the table 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:26.760 to keep that one seed. By the way, West mentioned 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:29.199 von Miller, I believe von Miller was near the top 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:32.040 of your list of top ten comeback players of the year. 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:35.920 Could access that vanity ul that Greg put together NFL 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:40.800 dot com slash come back well, well, by the time 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.400 people hear this or watch the NFL now, we'll get 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:48.360 second seconds.

Um, 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:03.439 let's we have something else to add. Just suff it off. 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:07.400 That's fine. No, read West's content.

How would I How else would 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:14.559 I know that von Miller was in the top three, 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:18.440 that he was complaining about people in honorable mention like Jason, 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:21.760 Pierre Paul. That's true, West taking shots at me and 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:26.960 Mark read your content the rookie content yesterday. That that 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:30.080 was always the theme this week, because each week there's 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:32.600 a different theme.

Katy Perry was officially announced. This game is 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:45.240 gonna be great.

Hopefully we'll all be there to see miss 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:54.360 Perry do her thing. West. I. The first thing I 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:56.920 thought of was you when they made the announcement, because 0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:59.600 this is a very famous artist, West, Greg you're aware 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:03.080 of Katie Perry's work, A general idea, she's so big. 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:07.040 My father in law, who lives in Japan, emailed me 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:09.359 just for my thoughts on it because he's going to 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:11.040 be going to the game this year and he's like, 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:12.720 what do you think of this big Katy Perry show. 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:15.320 It's got buzz internationally. I liked when you told the 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:17.680 story originally and try to say it like your stepf 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:21.800 or father. Yeah, and I enjoyed that. So, yeah, that 0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:24.480 Katy Perry. Mark, you know as well, you have two 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:27.640 young boys. But everybody knows Katy Perry music. Yeah, you'd 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:30.879 have to essentially have you know, existed underground to not know. No, 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:32.359 I don't know every one of her songs, but I 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:33.960 certainly know who she is and what her whole thing 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:35.760 is about. All right, So I'm curious, Yes, a lot 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:38.439 of people, but does west know Katy Perry music? So 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:42.160 I decided I worked with TD on this great producer 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:46.439 behind the glass ideas not generated by Mark and Greg, 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:48.919 and I want to hear just quickly, uh you know, 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:51.400 I want to hear. I want to know if has 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:54.680 Chris Westling heard of this Katy Perry song. So let's 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:57.359 start with one right off the bat. Let's go with 0:17:57.400 --> 0:18:04.360 the first one. Yes, I've heard of that song. That 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:06.040 was the one that I knew I was gonna know 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:08.080 right off the bat. There are no others that I 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:09.960 could tell you. I can't tell you any of your 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:12.560 other titles she's had. Okay, Okay, let's play a game. Then, 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:14.919 since you knew one, can you take off your headphones 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:18.800 one second? Sure? Okay, all right, TD play the second song, 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:20.520 and then I'm gonna ask you, guys, if you think 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:27.080 West will know it. Yes, I'm gonna get saying now no. 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:29.800 I mean, Chris is out in public places a lot, 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:32.159 and this is everywhere. Okay, West, the can's back on. 0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:35.520 I trust Chris. I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say he 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:39.840 doesn't know it. Wow. Okay, and what do you think? Okay, 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:47.639 so one yes and two knows. It's like the biggest 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.320 hit of two thousand twelve. I have no idea what 0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:52.080 the title is, but I believe when I was in 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:54.879 Vegas I heard this in the day club nightclub. It 0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:58.280 would be hard not to have heard it, right, all right, 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:00.960 So that's a yes. Then what's the name of that song? Firework? 0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:03.800 Not something I would ever listen to. Okay, let's play 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:06.400 with headphones off one more time, one more song. Let's 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:08.640 do this one. So that's a victory for Mark there, 0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:14.760 all right, this one's for a sandwich. Here we go. Yes, 0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:19.760 I don't even know that. I'm to be honest, Yeah, 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:23.439 I can definitely say. Can I think I'm gonna call 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:26.760 an upset? Yes? He knows it. Mark, Yeah, no, I said, Yeah, 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:28.720 I've been Ow's the Taverns with Chris and I know 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:31.440 this is played in in the room. On this one, 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:33.720 I feel strong. No, if I don't know it, West 0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:39.400 doesn't know it. So sandwich. Okay, come on West getting culture? West, 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:50.560 you just lie you got three quarters honesty. I kind 0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:52.840 of liked this one, but have you heard it before? 0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:55.200 I have heard of it, and I'm guessing the name is. 0:19:56.720 --> 0:19:59.480
