7
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: but I'm telling you right now. So Monday, I had

8
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: to go in for jury duty, got called into a courtroom.

9
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: There's fifty five jurors in the jury pool. Um, and

10
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: it was a nasty, nasty case. I wanted nothing to

11
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: do with it. Like I was so stressed out at

12
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: the end of the day between being asked questions and

13
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: the judge making me feel like I was on trial,

14
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: that I had the worst migraine I've ever had in

15
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: my life. Like literally like got home nauseous and I'm

16
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: like I'm laying down, man, I don't want nothing to

17
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: do with this. So yesterday go in UM and then

18
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,279
Speaker 1: the it was the prosecut jusian uh lawyer who was

19
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: questioning jurors, and then the lawyers both went up to

20
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: the judge and they said Okay, these are the ones

21
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: we want, these ones that we don't want, whatever. And

22
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: then they basically what they do is you've got like

23
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: a jury box, and there's twelve people in the jury box,

24
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: and then you've got thirteen to fifty five like in benches,

25
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: and then each lawyer goes back and forth and says,

26
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: juror number one, you're excused, and thank you, blah blah

27
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: blah blah. So I'm at forty seven. So they have

28
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: twelve jurors in the box. It's up to forty four, right, um,

29
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: forty four goes up, gets excused, forty five goes up,

30
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: gets excused, forty six. They're never picking this guy in

31
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: a million years, I know it. So basically they have

32
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: three spots left from forty six to fifty five. I'm like,

33
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: son of them, I can't believe this. Forty six goes up,

34
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: gets excused. Jury forty seven, please take seat one. Before

35
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: the cheeks even hit the seat, the lawyer said, you're excused, elude.

36
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: It was like just a monkey off my back, dude.

37
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: I was like wow, because like I get it intrcivic

38
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: duty and like I'd be happy to do it. Not

39
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: this was a nasty criminal trial like bad. Like you know,

40
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: I'm not saying anything, but it was freaking bad, like

41
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: dateline bad? Were you singing Alice Cooper? Schools out for summer?

42
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,320

43
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: you do? You remember? You know, when George Costanza came out,

44
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: like running summer George like that. I kind of may

45
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: have did something like that when I left the Core room.

58
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: the real Michael Florio, folks, right, not that there's that's

59
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: some other guy I heard. This is a real one here. Uh,

60
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: I got plenty to talk about today. Uh, we're going

61
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: to talk about well, of course when I do a

62
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones, because that's what we do here. But

63
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: we will talk about the Baldwin, We'll talk about Kellen

64
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: Moore and how much O C's actually matter if we

65
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: give them too much credit not enough credit? What have

66
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: you there? That then? Uh, you'll also talk about the

67
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: NFL quarterbacks in TV or movies, because there was a

68
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: guy that made it a serious on TV show over

69
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: the last week, and that's what we'll talk about that

70
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: as well. But first before we do that, to go

71
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: behind the glass and talk to our faithful producer, Senior

72
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: Edward L. Murphy Esquire Murphy, I actually want to ask

73
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: you and Florial the same question, because you guys are

74
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: both Knicks fans. Watching the draft lottery? Was it like

75
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: watching fanos, just like snap away all your hopes and dreams.

76
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: That's the best analogy for it. It was so stressful

77
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: just to get to the they do in such a

78
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: weird way because you have you get like the top four,

79
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: I guess bottom four. Those are the four teams that

80
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: are in contention for the first overall pick, and then

81
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: when you had the one slot let the fifth slot

82
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: was still there. It's like, this could be the Knicks

83
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: and they could be out of the top four even

84
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: with the worst record. And of course this has to

85
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: happen the first year with the lottery the rule changes

86
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: and then you get into four and the fourth team

87
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: goes by like okay, great, the Lakers like this could

88
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: be at least get top two. Um, and of course

89
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: I get the third pick, and it's like a lot

90
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: of people are down in R. J. Barrett. I mean

91
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: I personally felt it was Zion or bust. A lot

92
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: of people are high on John Moran. But it's just,

93
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: I mean, you do the right thing by losing, do

94
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: the right thing by clearing up the cap space for

95
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: the two max slots. Like the Knicks did everything right.

96
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: I think they got Fisdal, who's a great coaches, really

97
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: well loved in the NBA. Everything they did according to

98
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: Plan and Patrick Ewing, Allen Houston and the luck of

99
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: the lottery balls did not help them a single bit. Yeah,

100
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: the fifth pick was the real nerve wracking. It was

101
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: once we got that, like I kind of I was

102
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: clapping its stuff. But then there's a lot of videos

103
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 1: on Twitter, and that's how I was last night, Like

104
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: when it was four was the Acres, Like I was cheering,

105
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: and they're like, and three is the Knicks and Mitch here,

106
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 1: I'm like, ah, like it just deflated out of me.

107
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: I agree it was Zion or Bus, but at least

108
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: top three in the draft, and many people are saying,

109
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: is the three player draft? Plus I keep trying to

110
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: convince myself from sary markets, but I keep trying to

111
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: tell myself Kevin Durant is coming. I mean, look, I

112
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: know that's what's out there. I know that is what's

113
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: out there, that Kevin Durant is going to New York

114
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: and maybe maybe he does. Look, I'm not gonna look

115
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: as a Warrior fans abody who grew up during the

116
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: dry days, the terrible days where we went I think

117
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: we went, you know, fifteen plus years without making the playoffs.

118
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: Like I'm not going to complain about when this era

119
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: is open, Like I'm just enjoying this. I'm along for

120
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: the ride. It's great. Katie decides to leave, then hey,

121
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: I would wish him well and just you know, think

122
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: about what we had back then, so it wasn't also

123
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: like a double whammy, was like a triple lamy because

124
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: not only you didn't get we didn't get Zion men

125
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: get the first overall pick. The Lakers now get the

126
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: fourth pick, so they have a better chance of down

127
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: training friend than the day is. And then the Pelicans

128
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: of all teams end up with the first overall pick

129
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: with like a six percent chance, So it's like it

130
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: could not have gone worse for the next lest they'll

131
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,679
Speaker 1: find a way to screw it up. My initial reaction

132
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: was like, all right, now we could trade a three

133
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: pick and they could have Barrett and Zion together, but

134
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: the Lakers package is hard to beat. I'm convinced the

135
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: Knicks have done so they're just completely cursed. I look,

136
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: I've done a pretty good job of not really caring

137
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: about basketball basketball in New York for that long. I'm

138
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: just gonna keep doing that. I just don't care. I mean,

139
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: continue to continue this. This could be your punishment though

140
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: for James Dolan owning your team. Isn't that and that's fair.

141
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: I can't argue against that. That's fair, So who knows?

142
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: So anyway, that'll be interesting when June hits and we

143
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: go through the by the way, I put out on

144
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: Twitter and I'm not the only one who says this,

145
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: but I really feel like, you know, I'm gonna say

146
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: this here, and if I get snatched up by windowless

147
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: vans and black helicopters, just know that I love you

148
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: all drafts around American and we should get rid of them.

149
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: That's it. That's all I'm gonna say. What's your proposal,

150
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: because I'm all ears right now because those aren't working

151
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: for the next and it's just a free agency. We

152
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: have a we have salary caps. Just do free agency.

153
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: We have free agency. Now it seems to work. I'm

154
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: with you because uh and we're watching live Zion's face

155
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: and they went to a got it. He was like

156
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: a guy that like, oh, I could have lived in

157
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: Los Angeles and New York and it's like, okay, it's

158
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: real quick. Yeah he didn't. He was not thrilled. I

159
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: could tell. I also thought it was weird that he

160
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: was actually there. But it was weird too, Why was he?

161
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: Angels kept going to him, was like, how are you feeling.

162
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: He's like I'm here, I'm fine, Like like I just

163
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: thought it was strange that he was there, Like he's

164
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: obviously the consensus number one tap no matter who's there,

165
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: But why why why are you sitting? They had like

166
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: he was like miked up with them the whole time.

167
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: Is he gonna give live analysis? Is about hey, feelings

168
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: like I really don't want to go to the pill. Yeah,

169
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: I thought that was strange. So all right, anyway, that's

170
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: that's that. That'll be fun any way to watch because

171
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: we'll be you know, an NBA draft type is not

172
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: quite like NFL draft type, but I'm sure we'll hear

173
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: plenty about it in the next month or so. So anyway,

174
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: let's said, we got planning to talk about. So before

175
00:07:50,720 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: we get going, let's do some news. Well, the string

176
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: of retirements across the NFL that have had a fantasy

177
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: impact continues. Not a surprise, but Doug Baldwin looks like

178
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: he is going to hang them up. He along with

179
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: camp Chancellor, were released, uh recently by the Seahawks after

180
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: a failed physical designation. Um. This had been sort of

181
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: rumored for a while. So this, uh, yeah, that this

182
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: is not a big shock, but I guess from a

183
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: fantasy perspective. The first thing is FABS This is good

184
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: news for Tyler Lockett, is it is? And uh, you know,

185
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: I went back and looked at the numbers, and you

186
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: look at the games last year that Lockett played where

187
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: Baldwin did not. I mean he was primarily in the slot.

188
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: Fifty nine point two percent of his routes came out

189
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: of the slot. You would think he's going to be

190
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: the primary slot receiver next season for Russell Wilson. A

191
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 1: lot of targets also are gonna be up for grabs now,

192
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: so you're looking at a slight increase in the in

193
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: the fantasy value for calf coming in as a rookie,

194
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: but losing Baldwin is basically going to solidify what we

195
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: already knew that that offense is going to just run

196
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: the ball a lot. But Tyler Lockett is now firmly

197
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: a wide receiver too. In my mind, the ball win

198
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 1: watches ended. Yes, Yes, fantastic job on Twitter. No, but yeah,

199
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: I have said this before. I don't think Seattle is

200
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: gonna be able to run the ball as much as

201
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: they did last year. But that being said, this is

202
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: a huge win for Tyler Wackett. I mean, we're expecting

203
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: the efficiency to dip me score ten touchdowns in seventy

204
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 1: targets last year. That's not happened. Is there a possibility

205
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: they go after Crabtree, right, I mean, they're they're their

206
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 1: thin and wide receiver right now. Maybe they go after

207
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: a veteran. They've tried to bring in veterans every year

208
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 1: they try to bring in, right, I mean, they had

209
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall last year. Um, maybe, but at this point,

210
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: I think they're pretty comfortable with Metcalf. Jenning's more one

211
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: of those three being, you know, feasibly their two or three.

212
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: But lock it is, I'm gonna get fed targets this year.

213
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I sort of blacked out when you said

214
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: Michael crab I know, but like that was the first

215
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 1: five receiver of all that came to my mind, you know,

216
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: I mean I get that. I'm just saying so as

217
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: a fan, I just have this vision in my head

218
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,479
Speaker 1: of the Seahawks getting down deep and then like Crabtree

219
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: beats Richard Sherman on a corner pattern in the end

220
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: zone to like win a game or something like that,

221
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 1: and like I will never I might, I might walk

222
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: into the ocean if that. I think that thought just

223
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: made a guarantee that I can just see, you know,

224
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: everybody will replay the NFC Championship game from a few

225
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: years ago, and this time it'll be Crabtree beating Sherman

226
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: to like win it. Like I literally would just walk

227
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: into the Pacific Ocean, and I don't think that'll be

228
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: the end of me um Florio. So, I mean, obviously

229
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett gets a boost here. Anything for DK Metcalf.

230
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: I know he's been he was kind of a hot

231
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: name in rookie minicamp. I mean this has got to

232
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: help him too. I would think, Yeah, I think he

233
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: can be a lot like what Tyler Lockett has been

234
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: for this offense in years past, a low catch total guy.

235
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: But he's going to stretch the field for them. He's

236
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: going to I think, dominate their targets in the red

237
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: zone and in the end zone. So I think for

238
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: fantasy he's going to be a little inconsistent, but I

239
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: do think he can take on like a Tyler Lockett

240
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: ESQ roll while Lockett walks into that Doug Baldwin type

241
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: roll from years past. To your point, I mean, Seattle

242
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: doesn't have a tight end. They don't really have a

243
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: big receiver in the red zone that they can get

244
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: the ball to. And DK might only see four or

245
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: five targets per game, but if one of those is

246
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: a deep ball and few of them are red zone targets,

247
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: will still be pretty well, where's our buddy will This Lee? Right?

248
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: Remember that? Remember remember at the start of the year

249
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: when like the Seahawks look like they had a tight end.

250
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: And then remember he was actually a fantasy relevant No

251
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: one wanted to touch him because he was will This Lee.

252
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: But then he got hurt, and then he got hurt.

253
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: So I don't know, even Nick van deett I think

254
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: I had like a game or two and there where

255
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: he did something that was like everyone everyone's sleeper tight

256
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: end for a while, was like Nick Vane vanett Man,

257
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: those are the days. Okay. So then the next question,

258
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: and it's one that we sort of kicked around last

259
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: week with some of these guys and the idea of

260
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: putting people in a fantasy ring of honor. Doug Baldwin

261
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: is a guy who put up some some good numbers.

262
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: I can't put him in. He was he was He

263
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: wasn't even fantasy relevant for a lot of people. Forget that,

264
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: like he was a late bloomer, like I mean, even

265
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: worse than like a Tiki Barber. He was a late bloomer.

266
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 1: He was a guy that you were maybe grabbing off

267
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: the waiver wire, maybe taking late in drafts, and then

268
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: he eventually emerged as a guy who was very valuable.

269
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: But uh, sorry, angry Doug, but he's not. You're not

270
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: in my fantasy not in the fantasy ring of honor. No, man,

271
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: that's fair, I mean, because I'm looking at it right,

272
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 1: he's he only had two thousand yards seasons. Uh, look

273
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: at his his first bunch of seasons in the league.

274
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: It was very book. He was like he was an afterthought.

275
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 1: I mean, it's an offense that pretty much ran through

276
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch, you know most of the time. If anything,

277
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: Doug's kind of a cool success story because he came

278
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 1: to the league pretty old, um at twenty three years old,

279
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: and like you mentioned, he didn't do anything in his

280
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: career until seven years old. So that's pretty I mean,

281
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: it's pretty cool to actually buck one of those trends

282
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: because it was to the guys that we like for

283
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: fantasy or pop early. So yeah, so we have to

284
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: do hold like a fake press conference saying that he

285
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: was a good Wade receiver. If you have to do that,

286
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: I feel like you're not a probably not. But he

287
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: had a couple of nice runs. He had the huge

288
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: fifteen season with a thousand yards fourteen touchdowns, but just

289
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: never you know, look, he was a good player. He

290
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily a great player. It was a better real

291
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: life player than he ever was in fantasy I think

292
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: for most of I think that's a good way to

293
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: describe it. Absolutely. Uh, a lot of weird tight end

294
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: news in the last couple of days. Um, Benjamin Watson

295
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: sign he's back, he's signing with the Patriots. Uh. For

296
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: all of you Austin Seferian Jenkins believers out there, which

297
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: maybe there are two. Yeah, I don't know how many.

298
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: I don't know how big. That fan club is probably

299
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: not that big. How many targets is Julian Edeman going

300
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: to get this year like all of them? No, I

301
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: shouldn't don't know, he'll get like them, and then like Nickill,

302
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: Harry will get like and write something like that. It's yeah, yeah,

303
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: I mean we're not none of us are buying. We're

304
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: not really buying Benjamin Watson with him not buying either

305
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: one of those tight ends. No, sir, I think Edelman's well,

306
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: I mean eventually kind of Rudolf will end up in

307
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: New England and then well that was the next start.

308
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: He was like now because the Vikings obviously drafted or

309
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: smith Kyle Rudolph. Okay, I'll take a poll. How many

310
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: of you guys believe Kyle Rudolph will be a Viking

311
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: in Week one? Anybody? I think? I think I think

312
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: he'll get traded or even potentially cut. The Vikings can

313
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: save like seven billion dollars if he's not on the

314
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: roster by June one. It's kind of a weird, sticky

315
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: situation for him. He's twenty nine years old. They just

316
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: spent fifty fiftieth overall. Pick on another tight end. Yeah.

317
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: I posted a question on social media last week and said,

318
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: where would you rank Rudolph if he was a Patriot

319
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: and almost everyone was in the top five, which I

320
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: don't get. I don't, I don't. I would not put

321
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: him in a because it's the Gronk effect, that's what

322
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: everyone's jumping on. He's top ten, no doubt, I get.

323
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: I don't know about top five. It's not Gronk last year.

324
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: But Gronk was not good at all last I know,

325
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: I don't even know if to that matter, neither was

326
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph. Yeah, And like, I know, the thing, I

327
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: see a lot of people think the Patriots tight ends

328
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: are gonna get a lot of end zone targets and

329
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: red zone targets. But Gronk last year had eight all year,

330
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: and they're leading red zone target getter was James White.

331
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: So I don't even know if putting him there makes

332
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: him a top ten guy. I mean, I'm just I'm

333
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: just I'm just takea kelsey the top ten, the top

334
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: ten after the obvious three is right the top Howard Cook, Ebron.

335
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: Where would you put Rudolph in in that kind of

336
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: grouping there? I would still put him behind Cook and Ibron.

337
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: I'd also like to know obviously a s J or

338
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: Watson would likely not be on the roster because they're

339
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: not going to have three guls. Both both a s

340
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: J and Watson's deals are one year deals, so I mean,

341
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: at minimum they could be cut pretty easily. Yes, yes,

342
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: so I mean if rudof, if Rudolf is going to

343
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: be the primary tight end for the Patriots, and I

344
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: assume that he is um to me, I still love O. J.

345
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: Howard and I still love Hunter Henry more than him.

346
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: So I'm saying he's in that ebron, right. But I

347
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: think the other thing to take into account though, is

348
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: that this isn't the same I mean, obviously, you know,

349
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: it's just not the same Tom Brady as we've seen

350
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: in the past. Right last year, this was a team

351
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: that was definitely more of a run first operation. I mean,

352
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: they really relied heavily on Sonia Michelle. When they did

353
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: throw the ball, a lot of it were short passes

354
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: to James White. It's just not the same kind of

355
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: offense because the quarterback is, what forty two years old,

356
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: going to be forty two years old in August, Like

357
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: that has an impact too. I mean, if we're talking

358
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: about you know, quarterbacks losing you know whatever because of

359
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: you know, certain receivers not being there at some point,

360
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: the receiver also kind of gets a ding for having

361
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: a quarterback who was let's just say it, he's old.

362
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: I don't care how much avocado wise creamy like the

363
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: old happens. I mean, Rob Grokowski from a real football

364
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: perspective was really good last year, but you mentioned it.

365
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: I mean, when you can't run after the catch, and

366
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: then you know you have an aging quarterback who's not

367
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: pushing the ball downfield like he once was. Uh, Kyle Rudolph,

368
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: if he does go there, can't necessarily run after the

369
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: catch either. I'm kind of I'm kind of with all

370
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: you guys. I don't really I think we're trying to

371
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: be missed. Mixed emotions on that one. Yeah, I don't know,

372
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: just yeah, it's weirdness. Well, I don't know, it's weird year.

373
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: And I also think because as we keep saying on

374
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: this show, that the tight end position will be deeper

375
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: this year as well. Um, you know, I just think

376
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 1: things are stacked against Kyle Rudolph. I don't know. It

377
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 1: is interesting because I'm assuming they asked him to take

378
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 1: a pay cut and then he basically said no. And

379
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: that's how we saw the news this week that the

380
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: talks have broken down between their between their between the

381
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 1: two sides. So I think we'll get some sort of

382
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: resolution with with these two. But I think the Patriots,

383
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: it's one of those things where the Patriots are like

384
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: being so it's like the common sense link that just

385
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: doesn't happen, like everyone wants Rudolph to go to the

386
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: Patriots but ends up not happening. Yeah, I don't know.

387
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: I think it's wishful thinking because you know, the Patriots

388
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 1: obviously they lose a great tight end and everybody's like, well,

389
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 1: let's just you know, the Patriots get let go get

390
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: another one, Like yeah, wherever he goes, just play him

391
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 1: Christmas Weekend. That's the one that's true. It's the only

392
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: game he's going to really go off. That is that

393
00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: a thing every year hes off on the Christmas like

394
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: Rudolph the red Zone Reindeer, Like I think he was

395
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: like nine for one twenty and like two touchdowns on

396
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: Christmas Weekend last year. Yeah, he like blew up last

397
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: year right around Christmas. I know that for a fact.

398
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: And it does seem to be a thing that happens

399
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 1: every year, usually late in the year he has a

400
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: huge who says, there's no Santa Claus right there? You go,

401
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: all right, so you know that's pretty much everything you

402
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: need to know. Um, it is May. I say that

403
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: repeatedly on this show because well it is May, and

404
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: we don't have that much to talk about. But a

405
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 1: story that kind of caught my eye. Um Kellen Moore,

406
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: who's an alley OC for the Dallas Cowboy says he

407
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: wants to try different things, which, after seeing the Cowboys

408
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: offense the last couple of years, I'm like, yeah, great, sure,

409
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: I'm all for it. Um his quote, though hopefully we

410
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: can be multiple and present things in different way than

411
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, still have our foundation

412
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: and philosophy. You can run similar plays just out of

413
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: a lot of different looks. And I saw that, and

414
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: I want someone to translate this because that just sounds

415
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: like coach speak to me, Like is there anything definite

416
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: in that comment that anybody can pick out and say, like,

417
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: this is what the Cowboys are going to do? Uh yeah,

418
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: get the ball to Ezekiel Elliott as many times as possible.

419
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: That's all he needs to do. No, No, they're gonna

420
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: give the ball to Tavon Austin twenty times. Oh, I

421
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: forgot about that. What was the title they gave him.

422
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: They gave him some new web back web back web

423
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: back web back not the other one. Yes, no, not that,

424
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 1: definitely not that one. Um. Yeah, I don't know. I mean,

425
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, Florida, are you? I would say this,

426
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: do we give too much credit or not enough credit

427
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: to O C s. I mean, I feel like, you know,

428
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: every year there's a new OC that comes into some

429
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: team and we talk about like what this guy is

430
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: going to do? Do we spend too much time on

431
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: this or or what. I don't think we spend too

432
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: much time on it because I think the offensive coordinators,

433
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: they're the ones who shaped the offense there. I think

434
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 1: there is value in going back and looking at past tendencies.

435
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: Like I'm really excited, as I know a lot of

436
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: people are for like David Johnson this year. It's because

437
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: of the new offense coordinator the new weapons around him.

438
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 1: So I do think we we put the right amount

439
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: of energy in breaking down offensive coordinators. But as for

440
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: this quote, it's just a lot of words with no

441
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: substance in my opinion, Like I'm glad he's like, I

442
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: just wanted to make sure it wasn't Yeah, he didn't

443
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: say anything here. He just said a lot of big words.

444
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore's got no experience as an OC right in

445
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: the National Football League. He's just trying to sound like

446
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 1: he knows what he's going to do. And in the

447
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: end of the day, he is going to direct Dak

448
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: Prescott to hand the ball off to Ezeki Elliott twenty

449
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: times a game. Now, the Cowboys do have some nice

450
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: new weapons. I'm optimistic because you add Randall cop if

451
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: he can actually stay on the damn field, and then

452
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: the slowest man in the history of maybe the tight

453
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: end position, Jason Witten, is back and where he should

454
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: be because clearly we know he shouldn't be in a

455
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: broadcast with but he's back and he's another option in

456
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: the past attack for the Cowboys of the Cowboys now,

457
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: I mean you look at you at Gallup. You got

458
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: a Cooper. This is the most weapons that Cowboys have

459
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: had in the passing game in a while now. So

460
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: Calum Moore, I'm interested to see. I was excited that

461
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: they got him because that was the whole trend of

462
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: the off season, right, go out and get a young,

463
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: maybe inexperienced from an NFL perspective, head coach or OC

464
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: to lead your team and see what they can do.

465
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: So I'm excited to see what he can do. Also,

466
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: will we find out now I feel like Dak Prescott

467
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 1: is like he's like Shortinger's quarterback, right, He's he's either

468
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: good or not good, and we're not totally sure like

469
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: which one it is. But I mean when when he

470
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: had Coop he was he was pretty good. From a

471
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: fantasy standpoint, he was pretty good. I think Dac is

472
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: the He's a great example of he can I think

473
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: for one or two games he can elevate an offense.

474
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: But he's not truly an an elite quarterback in the

475
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: sense that he can. Right he made an offensive and

476
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: I don't think an entire season. He's got to have

477
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: a great offensive lining good receivers around him to be

478
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: to that point. Frederick, there's been some good reports about

479
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: him maybe coming back and that would make the Cowboys

480
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: offensive line even that much better. Yeah, okay, So then

481
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 1: is that I always I'm always trying to find the

482
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: latest patron saint of the weight on a quarterback church. Um,

483
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 1: oh dude, they're all that that church is full now,

484
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: but like it looks like because before looks you know,

485
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: there's a time where it's like for a long time.

486
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: You know, Philip Rivers I think is still there. Matthew

487
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: Stafford was that guy for a while. Tony Romo was

488
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: one of those guys for a while. Like his that's

489
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 1: sort of that new guy that you're like, you know what,

490
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: everybody wait if I you know, I find it toil

491
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 1: I just I'll just take back in the eleven. I

492
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: feel I feel like everyone kind of underrates DA's red

493
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: zone role. Like he scored six rushing touchdowns I think

494
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: in three every single season he's been in the league. Yep, exactly, Yep,

495
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 1: that's so. I mean, it's so so underrated. I think

496
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: he had so Like, where's the cut off point? I

497
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: guess would be, you know, who's going to the church

498
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 1: and who's not going to the church. So for me,

499
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: I have that at nineteen, I busky ahead of them,

500
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, Kirk Cousins, I have Kyler Murray because I

501
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: have Kyler Murray fever. At fifteen, I might move him

502
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: up even more. I don't know. I'm just that crazy

503
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: about him. But at what point, like, do you see

504
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: the remaining quarterbacks in your draft and thinking, yeah, I

505
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 1: probably got to take one. Is it Dac, is it Drabisky,

506
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: Is it Cousins? These guys are all out of my

507
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: top fifteen. Yeah. Do you do you feel comfortable going

508
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: into a season, say with a with a quarterback combo

509
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: of Dac and Jamis or Dac and Garoppolo. I wouldn't

510
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: love it. That's a no. I just wouldn't love it

511
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 1: seriously because it's like it's not It's not terrible, but

512
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: it's not one where we every week I look at

513
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: it and like, I feel great. I did a Best

514
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: Ball draft where I ended up with Dak Tom Brady,

515
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: and I think Sam Donald is my quarterbacks and I

516
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 1: was sad I missed out on Jimmy Garoppolo. But getting Dak,

517
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: I thought, you might say, Josh Allen, Oh no, Josh

518
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: al going, what's going higher than that because of the

519
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: rushing ability, But yeah, getting Dad. I feel like Dak

520
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: is just being overlooked because, like you guys said, he's

521
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: very boring and he is a tough one to figure

522
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: out for fantasy. He's always he's kind of like a

523
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: Peaks and Valleys quarterback, it seems like. But for me,

524
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're waiting that long quarterback, I think

525
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: he's a fine option. He's gonna make a lot of money. Yeah,

526
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess that's the thing is that I

527
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: look at him, he's he's a fine option, But I just,

528
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: you know, not sexy. He's not exciting, right, And some

529
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: weeks you'll get great deck and he'll give you, you know,

530
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 1: twenty five points, and some weeks you'll get dock. We're

531
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: just like eleven points and uh that that fear will

532
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: always make me, you know, a little uncomfortable. So um,

533
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 1: all right, you know what I had? So I had

534
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 1: this like this idea of like cameos by by Hall

535
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: of Fame quarterbacks and TV or movies, and it's all

536
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: tied the Game of Thrones. So shall we let's do it.

537
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: Let's do it. It's may you know, and this is

538
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: our show. We're gonna do whatever we want to see.

539
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: We're getting tweets that are like, hey, you guys are

540
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: a great Game of Thrones. I love this. We appreciate that,

541
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: by the way, although it does make me wonder like

542
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 1: how we're rating as a fantasy podcast. But you know,

543
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: whatever you guys are listening, it's appreciated. People just logging,

544
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: they just listen to the show, scrul there's nothing going on.

545
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: I don't care about Kellen Moore. Just tell me about

546
00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: Danniis So as always spoiler alert if how by Wednesday

547
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: you haven't watched the episode I don't really know what

548
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: to tell you, but you know this is your warning. Um,

549
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: and we have we have Floorier, who also was a

550
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones fans. So this this, this works perfectly.

551
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: Uh So it was called the Bells because well that

552
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: was the whole thing. If if you could get the

553
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: bells in King's landing to ring, that means that the

554
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: city has surrendered and you didn't have to attack it necessarily. Uh,

555
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: it really was get some of that music going, Eduard,

556
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 1: it was Hell's bells. So last week on this show,

557
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 1: I compared Denis to Jeff Fisher, saying that no one

558
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: has done less with more talent than Denia's Targarry that

559
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: somebody heard it, the writers, Denis heard it, I don't know.

560
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: So basically she went John Heisman. When Georgia Tech put

561
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: two d and twenty two points on Cumberland and decided

562
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: she was just going to run. She literally was up

563
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: sixty and the fourth quarters, still running four verse with

564
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: her starters out there right like she was just laying

565
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: it on people. I know this has been the big

566
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: talking point of the show. I I didn't hate the

567
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: episode Eddie will Get because you know, you, being our resident,

568
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: you know expert here on this. I didn't hate the episode.

569
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 1: I didn't love it. I just felt like, like everything

570
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 1: else this season, it just felt rushed. Her Heel Turn

571
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: just felt rushed. I mean, you're not wrong in saying

572
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 1: the seasons rushed. I think it was pretty looking back,

573
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: will go oh, the writers saying we're going to finish

574
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 1: up this whole entire, you know, decade long series with

575
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 1: thirteen episodes instead of twenty. Yeah, it's probably stupid, but

576
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: I do understand. Life happens. They had other projects, the

577
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: actors have other projects. It's just it's sometimes hard to

578
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: keep that all together. Um, But I will defend the

579
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: Heel turns, saying that their word. I think there were

580
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 1: enough clues throughout every season and especially this season and

581
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: within the last few episodes how you just it just

582
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: got to the point where Denies lost everyone, Like those

583
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: are screen like the screenshots of her with the council,

584
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 1: and then how it gets like decimated like every so

585
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 1: and she was ended up. She was left with Varis

586
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 1: Terran and John all across here. John only looks her

587
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 1: as a queen, and she was like, yeah, you know

588
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: what this is? It like no one likes me. Anymore.

589
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 1: So my words are um, fire and blood, and that's

590
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: how she's gonna win, you know, win over Westerns with

591
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: fear and and and her dragon, instead of winning it

592
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: by being well liked like John los See. I agree

593
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: that we saw the heel turn coming through. And you know,

594
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: anybody who argues that doesn't watch the show. There's so

595
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: many quotes that came from her. There's been so many signs.

596
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: You know, Varis saw it coming, Terry and saw it coming.

597
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 1: But here's here's the one thing that I didn't see coming.

598
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: She's the breaker of chains. She murdered children and women,

599
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: Like I didn't see that coming. Okay, I compared her

600
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: heel Turned to Anakin Skywalker, but we had more sort

601
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: of like time to see that. Yeah, it's it's probably coming.

602
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 1: You know, Anakin killed young links, he killed everybody, right,

603
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: and he was a good dude. Right. She appeared to

604
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: be someone who was was very was very gracious and

605
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: merciful when it came to innocent people. And then all

606
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you know, John won't give her a

607
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: little love and that's the culmination of everything else, and

608
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: then she just goes nuts. See, I don't think it

609
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: was just John not giving her love. I think this

610
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: was no, it was it was a culmination of a

611
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 1: few things, but that I think was the final straw.

612
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: It was it was this, This whole was this whole

613
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 1: thing was being set up. If you remember, back in

614
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: season four, Brand had a vision where one dragon, one

615
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: single dragon, was flying over King's landing. How many times

616
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: in the early in the show did we hear Denarius

617
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: say either I will burn them all to the ground,

618
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: there will be blood and fire. Um. How many times

619
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: does she use her dragons, probably inappropriately to burn her enemies. Um.

620
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: I think this was coming and I am I was

621
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: all for it. I'm I love the episode. I think

622
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: this was legitimately one of the best episodes they have done. Um,

623
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: maybe in the last three or four years, at least

624
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: in the last two seasons. I'm definitely at least in

625
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: the last this has been. This was easily the best episode.

626
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: Think about all of the different storylines they had to

627
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: wrap up and the way that they did it. I mean,

628
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: they could have just had Danny go to the Red

629
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: keep right and burn the Red keep down. That's boring,

630
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: that's too easy, that's too easy. No, let's burn the

631
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: city but I almost would have almost would have felt

632
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: better about by the way the city that her family built,

633
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: I've almost felt better about it if she burned the

634
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: red keep and then like flipped down as like you

635
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: know what, I'm taking everybody. She never actually directly went

636
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: at Searcy like that was her whole goals to take

637
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: out Cercy. She never directly did that. Um and Searcy

638
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: was killed by building coach. Yeah, I mean like it

639
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: was it was unsatisfying death. Like, as a fan, it's

640
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: an unsatisfying death a building falls on you. I wanted

641
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: to see Aria go in there and look her in

642
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: the eyes and say, hey, you know, say good night,

643
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: it's all over. Your reign is over, and this is it.

644
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: Instead she's crying, I don't want to die. This is

645
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: like one of the most evil characters in the entire

646
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: series and had a building fall on her. That's the best. Yeah,

647
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not. I've seen the argument, Like it's poetic,

648
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: like she wants she thought she was better than everyone

649
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: the whole show, and to die like uneventful death hurts

650
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: her character more than if she went out in grand fashion.

651
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: She I get that, but I feel like as a

652
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: TV show we were robbed of, Like I think, I

653
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: think you guys are missing the boat on storytelling. Yeah,

654
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: Cercy just watched the entire city, her entire army, everyone

655
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: that she bought, and thought that would defend her go

656
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: up in flames in literally ten minutes because Klici burnt

657
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: the ground. That's something she could not have planned for it.

658
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:39,959
Speaker 1: And she thought Jamie would come back. Jamie came back

659
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: too late and they died. But I think that's all fine.

660
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: But if you go in and let Aria finish her

661
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: kill list, there would have been a more satisfying I

662
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: thought about it. I thought about this one. First off,

663
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: how did Jamie survive that? Yes, yes, exactly, he got

664
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: stabbed and both sides blood coming out of his mouth.

665
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: But and then that was very convenient that you're unhappy

666
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: to swim up onto the same beach and Jamie's still

667
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: right there. Come on, I actually would have felt better.

668
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: And I thought about this for a couple of days

669
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: after the episode, Right, Okay, like, okay, maybe maybe it's

670
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: too obvious if Aria shows up there and stabs Sarcy,

671
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: as I felt like the happy medium would have been

672
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: sort of the way I'm gonna you know, I'm gonna

673
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: cross reference another HBO show here, but sort of how

674
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: Omar died in the wire, how it was just some

675
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: random kid who just popped him out of nowhere, and

676
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: so like, I would have been great with Searcy maybe

677
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: trying to escape and either it's a either it's a

678
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: random soldier or some civilian who's just like, screw you,

679
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: you made our lives miserable and then just guts her

680
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: right there Like that almost would have been equally poetic

681
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: if some if just some random citizen of King's Landing

682
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: is like, f you, I'm gonna take you out, like

683
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: that would have been. That would have been. But she

684
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: got like it was almost like a sympathetic death, like

685
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: oh they wold And I'm like, but I think it's smart.

686
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: Sucks because because it makes sure you you've only had

687
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: Saracy be the simathetic character maybe twice once with the

688
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: Walk of Shame, and then then when the mad Queen

689
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: becomes a mad queen and she's bringing down the city,

690
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: she's not sympathetic. She just cut off the girl's best

691
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: But that's why that's why I think it's awesome, because

692
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: because you're all, because you're confusing the watcher like the

693
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: TV watcher to be like, oh wait, now I was

694
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: supposed to route her Denares, but now she's doing the

695
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: bad thing and Cercy is now crying and they're route

696
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,719
Speaker 1: for Aria to finish that west. And definitely a lot

697
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: of people saying that because in the episode before last one,

698
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: they do a lot of close ups where they showed

699
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: Danny and they show that she's green Eyes, even though

700
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: in the books she doesn't, So a lot of people

701
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: are speculating maybe if Danny is actually the green Eyes,

702
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: that that are you. And speaking of Aria completely worthless

703
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: in that episode worth less, I watched something worth right

704
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: well and they said that one of the greatest warriors

705
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: in this whole series, and she did nothing in this

706
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: episode except for her She's not a superhero. I'm getting kid, yeah,

707
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: which was stupid, but I mean it elevates her, but

708
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: then then she's done. I don't want it. That's like

709
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: the Avenger thing where if the character the superior does

710
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: something too good, then you have to bring him down

711
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: the next the next movie, like the I don't want

712
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: to s anymore of that. The writer said they used

713
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: Aria because if it was just random people getting burned

714
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: by the dragons. It doesn't have the same emotional No, no, no,

715
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: I get it, but like let her go and and

716
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: take out Searcy and then run out and try and

717
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: get the Hound. Could have taken Searcy out in one

718
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: Oh no, the Hound in Ball was awesome? So that

719
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: was How did everybody feel about clicking it? I loved

720
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: it with the dragon flying by when they're fighting and stuff.

721
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: I loved it. It was great. Yeah, I thought it was.

722
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: It was a great ending for both real quick on

723
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: Aria think about I mean, she she had to go

724
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: all the way basically, let's just say, from the Red

725
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: keep out of the freaking city. She had to avoid

726
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: basically buildings collapsing, dragons coming, dragon coming and burning everything around.

727
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: I actually really like the way they use Aria in

728
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: terms of storytelling in this great episode. Because Aria just

729
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: killed the Night King, um she was going to go

730
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: kill Sarcy. Then it was clear at that time that

731
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: the Red Keeper is about fall, and then she had

732
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: to get out. Plus and then she became a star.

733
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: She's no longer like the Hound two point on like

734
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: Revenge List, like she wants to become. She's not a

735
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: faceless man or faceless woman. She wants to become Ari Stark,

736
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,800
Speaker 1: part of the Star family again, which I think is

737
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 1: a great arc for her to turn all the way

738
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: back around. Weirdly enough, I do wish that she did

739
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: perish in that episode because that would have said John off,

740
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,399
Speaker 1: which I want to see. So is she going back

741
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: to winterfol I think so now. But I think she's

742
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 1: gonna go to John and be like, hey, I almost died.

743
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: John's gonna get you know, Piste and go after go

744
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: after Denarius, which I want. I don't want him or

745
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: are super killed. I think I think John the look

746
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 1: in his eyes said he has he knows he has

747
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: to get rid of the Narius now, like you know,

748
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: when she starts lighting up people, and especially when the

749
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: gray Worm looked around the basis like f you, I'm

750
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: gonna kill all these people. Then John had that, Hey,

751
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: my girlfriend Slash aunts a sort of Craig Cray and

752
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: now I gotta do something about it. And people are

753
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: calling John like they're saying he's been useless, but he's

754
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: you're watching, like watching him through his eyes. He's seeing

755
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 1: all this stuff crumble, and he's seeing like his own Northman,

756
00:34:58,080 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: like attacking women and stuff that he has to kill

757
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: his own guy. He's like, oh, wow, humanity actually stinks.

758
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,359
Speaker 1: And that's like kind of the point of of Game

759
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: of Thrones is that humanity stinks. And John's realizing this

760
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: and he's like, oh, I don't want to be the leader.

761
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: I am like the only true, just honorable guy. He's like,

762
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and just

763
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: beat anyway because no one else is gonna, you know, follow,

764
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: And that that leads back to the whole um denies

765
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: just doing the heel turn thing because she had to

766
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: kill a woman children because she knows that Varis already

767
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 1: leaked the word. John will have way more supports than

768
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: she ever will, so her only option is to like

769
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: to scare the crab out of people. By the way,

770
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 1: I think it's like a really terrible call on Varis's part,

771
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: not so much to go to John and like try

772
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: to convince him, but to do it right out in

773
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,919
Speaker 1: the open. It's unlike him the open where everybody can see,

774
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 1: like tunnel and like, hey, we gotta talking. I think

775
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: he kind of similar to like Whatterian thought too, is

776
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: like she's gonna probably go crazy. So it was like

777
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: it was a hail Mary. He was like, I'm just

778
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 1: gonna let it go. I saw something when he's talking

779
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: to the little girl and he's asking her like has

780
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,399
Speaker 1: she eaten in anything today? Yeah, like they were trying

781
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: to take he was trying to take her out even

782
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 1: before that all happened. And another thing too, sorry Marcus

783
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: so so dragon right, I will get it. He's the biggest,

784
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: baddest dragon out of the three. But when they when

785
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 1: they had you're on, use the scorpion, which he's never

786
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 1: used before. I I and and basically around a freaking

787
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 1: mountain or a hill or something like that a mile away.

788
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: It's like it's like never playing golf before and your

789
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 1: first swing you get a hold on one. That made

790
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: the dragons seem weak to me, so suddenly drove and

791
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 1: halftime adjustment. Yes apparently. Yeah, you said in the books

792
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: that the dragons are basically they are sapire. You can't

793
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: beat him, So it was wrong of the writers to

794
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: knock out two dragons. Okay, maybe you knock out one,

795
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 1: but then Dragon comes in and literally there are more scorpions,

796
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: there are more forces against and then there were previously

797
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: when the other dragon was killed and this dragon just

798
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: wipes out everything that everything. I will agree, I don't

799
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 1: definitely don't agree with you with the other stuff, but

800
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: I will say you're on They buy and they botched

801
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: the dragons in the previous episode. The biggest thing, the

802
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 1: biggest thing that's bothered me most about this season, I

803
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: think is just the way they killed the second dragon.

804
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,320
Speaker 1: I don't mind if you kill the second dragon, just

805
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: don't do it. And basically a scene where it was

806
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 1: week you're cutting over and did just hear the explanation

807
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,760
Speaker 1: to it simply was she forgot about the Iron Fleet,

808
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: like what they have to use that because I think

809
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: the whole Yuron is magic thing that just don't have

810
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: time to introduce that he is like a higher level

811
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: of being in the show, saying why they don't get

812
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: into like the brand Oregon stuff like there' stuff that

813
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: just like they're are omitting it and then they're gonna say, like,

814
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: oh well, it's it was awful for the writers to

815
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: say that, and we talked about that last week. My

816
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 1: my biggest problem with the show in terms of character

817
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: development was Uron. I mean, they just they kind of

818
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: botched Uron's whole story and then they botched the weird

819
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: Easter egg where he just like shows up on the beach,

820
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 1: and yeah, that was that was convenient. That was that

821
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 1: was what was the point ultimately of the Searcy pregnancy storyline.

822
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 1: That's why I think it was awesome. That's why I

823
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,439
Speaker 1: love the death because you get Jamie to come back

824
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: and then here and she said that she was according

825
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: to the prob obviously, like her brother is supposed to

826
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,240
Speaker 1: kill her. Terran indirectly kills her because he tells Jamie

827
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: to go there. So Jamie is there there and Jamie

828
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: knows he's dying because he would stay twice. He's going

829
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: to bleed out on their trapped. She has the baby,

830
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,760
Speaker 1: and they're finally back together again, like they've come full circle,

831
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: that like how the show started the first episode. And

832
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: he still puts his hands around her neck, which is

833
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: a part of the prophecy as well. And then and

834
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: then the red keep what she says earlier in the

835
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: episode will never fall. It's not gonna fall today, and

836
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,399
Speaker 1: then it does fall on her, the thing that she's

837
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: wanted her whole entire life. Literally, it is perfect that

838
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: you can they nailed that. I thought they nailed it.

839
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: To man, I thought they knailed it too, and I

840
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: think I think people um watching it just want to

841
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: They just wanted to see Sarcy suffer. But that's what

842
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: I wanted, I think. But she did by her trying,

843
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: and she know she has to by I want, I

844
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: want to live on her baby to live. And Jamie

845
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: is just like, it's fine, It's just us. If anything,

846
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: your final hour on Earth would be worse watching everything

847
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 1: you just worked for go up in flames very quickly,

848
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: and a baby, a baby that you are theoretically trying

849
00:38:56,120 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: to save, you have no means to say. She finally broken,

850
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: She finally broke down and cry Kiberd told her to leave,

851
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: like we gotta go, we gotta go, and she was like, no, nope.

852
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 1: There was almost it was funny when when the hound

853
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 1: and the mountain faced off and seriously just kind of

854
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: side eyed and just like She's like, just like you

855
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: like and it still, by the way, how much I mean,

856
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 1: Mr Kiburn just ended up not mattering at all. Right, great,

857
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: his death was pretty satisfying. You're not gonna lie, so

858
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: you're not gonna lie. So now we can all agree

859
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: that this is one of the greatest heal turns of

860
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,439
Speaker 1: all time. Right, So I say, let's put a pull

861
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 1: up on the NFL podcast Twitter account. Okay, We're gonna

862
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: go four options. Best heel turn of all time, the

863
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: nearest tar Garrian in Game of Thrones, Okay, and it

864
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 1: gets Skywalker and Star Wars gotta go there, right, um

865
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 1: hul Cogan, right, going from you know, eating your vitamins

866
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff to Hollywood Hogan. And

867
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: then the last one is Satan himself, Guarden of Eden.

868
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,720
Speaker 1: He's a snake. Hey, Adam, eat this apple. I'm your buddy.

869
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: He was always kind of a heel, he just was

870
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 1: hiding his So those are the four and so let's

871
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,320
Speaker 1: post that up there. I want to see what the

872
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 1: results are. Greatest hell turn of all time. I think

873
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 1: Satan wins, I mean he has. I think Satan had

874
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: more and more of an impacts. Uh, I'm just saying

875
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 1: I don't. I liked the episode overall. I thought it

876
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: was awesome. The way that they shot I mean it

877
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: was crazy. There's actually I saw something on Facebook where

878
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: they had like a thirty or forty minute sort of

879
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: behind the scenes thing. I don't know if you saw,

880
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: if you did and I'll send it to you. Um,

881
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 1: that was really cool the way that they did it.

882
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 1: But again it was like those but you know, the

883
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: dragon thing area. Maybe I'm just an evil person and

884
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: I want people to get there's the way that I

885
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: want them to get their's. So I was kind of

886
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 1: mad that Aria didn't kill Cercy. There was a few

887
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: things that were too convenient for me. Um and Danny

888
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: just going crazy like mad queen from and I get it.

889
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: We saw signs all through, but the fact that she

890
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: killed women and children was really surprising to me. But

891
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,240
Speaker 1: then again an again Skywalker, and I guess the writers

892
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: for Game of Thrones are not doing Star Wars, so

893
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of an intersection there. Anakain went

894
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 1: from being like a guy who was in love and

895
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: now he's killing youngly, So I mean, what it is,

896
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,240
Speaker 1: what it is, But overall, I was a good episode.

897
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,879
Speaker 1: Other question, when did we When exactly did we lose

898
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: Tyrian like Tan's characters suck man man like I wanted him.

899
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 1: I wanted to die the episode before, and I thought

900
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: with embarrassing put his hand on him and they're like

901
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: actually having moments. Actually, I mean yeah, because that's always

902
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: her weakness is her brothers. I think Peter Dinklich has

903
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,479
Speaker 1: done a great job. I just wonder like a great

904
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 1: Tyrian went from being the smartest man in the room

905
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: to just like pretty much, I mean literally just a

906
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 1: keeps messing up trusting Cercy of all people, like certainly's

907
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 1: just like terrified of the nearest trust Cercy. Like he

908
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: just he's completely lost his mojo. There's one more episode left,

909
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: there's true, that's true. There's one character who I also

910
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: thought they did a terrible job writing this year, and

911
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 1: it's Braun, the Sales Sword. I know he's only in

912
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: like one episode, but it felt so forced. He's another

913
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: character that's like in the books, is meaningless, kind of

914
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: like Gray Raw and stuff. But in the show, the

915
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 1: actor people like him, like fans like him, and they

916
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: write him up more. He'll probably play a role. I mean,

917
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: he has the crossbows, but after hearing so is he gonna?

918
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 1: Is he gonna? Why Why would he go after trying

919
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: like he has nothing left to game? I mean, he

920
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: is going after him, but I think once he sees

921
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: the result of what happens, maybe that crossbows used for

922
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: Denaris and tearing gets revenge because of killing his brother

923
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 1: and sister. Let me ask you a question, because you're

924
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:45,359
Speaker 1: the you're the Game of Thrones guy. Why wasn't Brian

925
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: in the in the battle? Why would Brian come from

926
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: winter Felt to King? It's like, no, it's extremely far.

927
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 1: It's like telling you to come from Alaska. Everybody else

928
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: protect their job is to protect sense. And so that's why,

929
00:42:56,520 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: so she stayed Queen's she okay, just four characters. That

930
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:05,479
Speaker 1: happy ending than I anticipated. Um, I know. I'm also

931
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: I really am also fearful that, like we really have

932
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: seen the last of like Torment and Ghost's favorite. But

933
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:12,399
Speaker 1: and if that's how I mean, if that's the last

934
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: we see a Torment, I'm I'm gonna be kind of

935
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 1: Hurt's not gonna the show. The show starts in winter Felt,

936
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 1: gonna end in Winner Fell. I have a feeling that well,

937
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 1: all that, I mean, Varius united all the extra like

938
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 1: the houses, because he's like John to the leader. They're

939
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: all going to rally around John or Sanso, whoever, you know,

940
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: whoever's leading the North. But we may see him, I mean,

941
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 1: there's a chance that John may may go again, so

942
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: you might see him as well. With Ghost, I think that, uh,

943
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 1: there's a chance to that we end up with just

944
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: no one on the throne. Agree, I think I scraped them, Like,

945
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 1: think about it, theoretically, this dragon just destroyed an entire

946
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,839
Speaker 1: city they didn't even need, They didn't even need the army.

947
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 1: It's like, where do we go from here? How do you?

948
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 1: How do you overtake? Wait for the spinoff election of throne?

949
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 1: When democracy comes to Western roast? Who's gonna I think

950
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: it would have to be John that killed her, Like

951
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 1: that's the only way I think it makes no, no, no,

952
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 1: But like she's I don't know, like what happens with

953
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 1: the dragon, I mean the dragons. If I'm her, I

954
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: tim her. I'm staying as close to that dragon as

955
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 1: I possibly came for a very long time. And nobody's

956
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 1: gonna mess with me. Yeah, yeah, I don't know how you.

957
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: So are we ready for the finale? Are we? Emotionally?

958
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: I am? And I'm not, because as as disappointing as

959
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: this season has been in certain aspects, it's been really

960
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 1: good in other aspects. I hate to see it go

961
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 1: because I mean it's been it's been such a huge

962
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 1: sort of global phenomenon where everyone's talking about it, and

963
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: now I guess they're they're talking about doing a prequel, right, Eddie,

964
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: They're doing something maybe right, so we'll get more. But

965
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: I mean it's kind of like you know, at the

966
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 1: end of like Breaking Bad, you're kind of you're the

967
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 1: ending was was terrific in that in that series, but

968
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 1: you were kind of sad to see it go. Well. Admittedly,

969
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 1: Better Call Saul has been a pretty fantastic show. I

970
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: was going to be very very sad to see it um,

971
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: but then they did episode five, so I'm the same

972
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: I'm the same boat as ground. I mean, I'm happier

973
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 1: after how good five was. In my mind, I'll always

974
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,399
Speaker 1: be upset though, because it's something that I've been caring

975
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 1: about and watching and reading for a better part of

976
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 1: a decade. And the good thing is there's still two

977
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: more books. There's a lot more other he has, like

978
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 1: other side books that I'm gonna actually get into soon. Uh.

979
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 1: And then we have the three prequels. And I think

980
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 1: it's funny is when you think about the prequel that

981
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: the options they have to use, like a Game of Thrones,

982
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: the show we're currently watching, maybe like the most boring

983
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: story out of all the prequels, like there's like The

984
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 1: Long Night, the origin of like the White Walkers. You

985
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,319
Speaker 1: have Robert's Rebellion, which is that's what caused the Game

986
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: of Thrones. Roberts Browning is probably way cooler to watch

987
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:39,879
Speaker 1: than this. So we have some pretty cool stuff coming

988
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 1: in the next couple of years or so whenever it

989
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 1: shows up. But of course, like obviously when the final

990
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: credits come up and I'm gonna be like, oh wow,

991
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: it's actually over this time, like no more cool intro,

992
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: and um, it'll be sad. But I think after five

993
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 1: and what could happen in six? Unless they unless mean

994
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 1: you me and you come back, You're said, that means

995
00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: they really screwed up. But I think I think, I

996
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 1: think ultimately the where they got the writers, where they

997
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: got to this endpoint. Maybe getting there wasn't the smoothest route,

998
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,240
Speaker 1: but ultimately they landed on something that I'm pretty appulous.

999
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 1: I think. I think the base plot has been very good,

1000
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 1: but just the details and execution at times has been poorative.

1001
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 1: It had flaws, just yeah, just just flawed. Starbucks loved it.

1002
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: That's that. That's probably the most the most free promotion

1003
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: that any product has ever had ever Did you see

1004
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 1: Jamie had his hand back in the y, Yes, but

1005
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 1: he was holding cercy. They screwed that up and actual hand.

1006
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: You would think the actor would be like, hey, hey,

1007
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 1: I said have my real hand. I've had on my

1008
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 1: four like five seasons, and he's like, hey, cutting need

1009
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 1: this back. Oh man, alright, so we got one more episode,

1010
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 1: which means we'll have one more recap, which means we

1011
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:53,399
Speaker 1: got one more show to have something to talk about

1012
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: it and then let to figure out what to do

1013
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 1: for the rest of like stuff. Yeah, exactly to say,

1014
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 1: does that mean we don't have a podcast? I don't know.

1015
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. To figure this out, we're gonna have

1016
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 1: to get in some guests. We're gonna bring some just

1017
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:07,879
Speaker 1: another group show, just like yeah, guys, just go get

1018
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 1: into show. None of us have watched. We'll just pick

1019
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:11,400
Speaker 1: on that and recap and I kind of like that.

1020
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,760
Speaker 1: I like that idea. Um, before we get out of here. Actually,

1021
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 1: some more football news, uh. The Jets this morning fired

1022
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 1: GM Mike mccagnan and have named Adam Gaze the interim

1023
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:29,399
Speaker 1: general manager. But now news coming via Adam Schefter, our

1024
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 1: own Daniel Jeremiah is under serious collideration for a prominent

1025
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:37,919
Speaker 1: front office position with texting DJ jets. Uh so DJ,

1026
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 1: who has done a fantastic job with our draft coverage.

1027
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 1: One of our scouts here also did have front office

1028
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 1: worked for the the Ravens, was a scout for them

1029
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 1: for a while. UH, And I would tell you the

1030
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 1: people around the building have long believed that at some

1031
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 1: point Daniel Jeremiah was going to get some serious consideration

1032
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 1: for one of these front office opportunities. And if I'll

1033
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: keep taking our dudes because we are the NFL, it's

1034
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:00,320
Speaker 1: sort of like a you know, it's like, what do

1035
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:04,280
Speaker 1: we like the development? It's like for GMS, it's getting

1036
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 1: transferred to a new field office, basically, is what I guess. UM.

1037
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 1: So we'll see, you know, obviously, we'll keep an eye

1038
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 1: on this story and see what happens. Anybody who has

1039
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: worked here and has run into DJ can tell you

1040
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:16,359
Speaker 1: he's one of the greatest guys that you're gonna meet.

1041
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: Obviously knows his stuff. Uh. Stepped in from Mike Mayok

1042
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 1: and been a fantastic job. And it'll be curious to

1043
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 1: see what happens here. But that his name showed up

1044
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 1: in these rumors is not a surprise to anybody who

1045
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 1: knows him. Yeah, I think some. I think his name

1046
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 1: showed up in some rumors last year too. Yeah, and

1047
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 1: he and Lewis Riddick. It's a cool time, man, some

1048
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 1: some really good analysts that have had NFL experience before.

1049
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 1: At what point, at what point do you believe or

1050
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 1: maybe it will never happen? Will a fantasy football analysts?

1051
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:48,320
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of dudes out there like Graham,

1052
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: like Mike Clay, like Evan Silva, like Jeff Rockcliffe who

1053
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 1: are super super into the analytics, like just knee deep

1054
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 1: into it. I don't think it's gonna be you, my friend,

1055
00:48:57,520 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: I love you. It's not gonna be. But at what

1056
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 1: point do you think that some team actually hires a

1057
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 1: fantasy football analyst to be some part of their front off.

1058
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: It's the premise of a TV pilot, I wrote, Come on, seriously,

1059
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 1: who's the star? You don't know yet? I don't know yet, right,

1060
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 1: I mean, like it could have, it could happen. How

1061
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 1: could have happen? Hasn't happened in the NBA with a

1062
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 1: couple of um didn't the Grizzlies higher It was like

1063
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 1: John Hollinger, Am I going crazy bring I'm not sure

1064
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,359
Speaker 1: an ESPN, ESPN guy who was like pretty big into

1065
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: the analytics and stuff. I know, the NBA, I mean

1066
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:37,919
Speaker 1: every league now, every team has an analytics You are correct. Yeah,

1067
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,400
Speaker 1: he's the VP of Basketball Ops for the Grizzlies. A

1068
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:43,439
Speaker 1: ton of like fantasy baseball guys have gotten front office gigs.

1069
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:45,919
Speaker 1: Never never like a coaching or GM job, but they've

1070
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 1: got a lot of front office gigs before. Yeah, the

1071
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 1: NFL is just far behind in terms of their understanding

1072
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:52,919
Speaker 1: and acceptance of analytics. And that's why I think it'll

1073
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 1: be quite some time before we see someone truly like

1074
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 1: coming from the analytics community actually run a team. Yeah.

1075
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: But but yes, well we'll see what happens with the

1076
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 1: dj uh. You know, certainly if if he does decide

1077
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: to take it, we would be sad to see him go,

1078
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:08,319
Speaker 1: mus but I think we're all very happy he would

1079
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 1: do him succeed. I think you did a pretty good

1080
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,799
Speaker 1: job there in New York. Plus, man, the Jets are

1081
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:15,800
Speaker 1: just they're they're a circus right now. So if you

1082
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:17,879
Speaker 1: if you can kind of call him the circus, then

1083
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 1: you know that would be great. And and so Gaze

1084
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 1: is the current GM, I guess them interim slash acting

1085
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 1: GM whatever now. And we talked about this off airly.

1086
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:32,320
Speaker 1: He has really no experience and should not be in

1087
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:36,279
Speaker 1: that role. So the reason he is now in that

1088
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:38,879
Speaker 1: role to me, he went to Woody Johnson and gave

1089
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: him that that googly idol book and he and he

1090
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 1: put him in a trance and said, Woody, I want

1091
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 1: to be the GM. Okay you're looking for um. Yeah,

1092
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 1: So I don't know how that's going to work. I mean,

1093
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 1: it's weird that they let mccagnet go through the draft

1094
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:54,919
Speaker 1: and then no, no, no, they let mccagnet spend nearly

1095
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 1: two hundred million dollars that they thought him literally run

1096
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:00,479
Speaker 1: the draft and make make the draft board in higher

1097
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 1: out of gas m m. Yeah, it's not crave sting,

1098
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: not great. So alright, so that's how we that's how

1099
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: we we wrap this up. It's over. We're done. I
