Speaker 4: It's so consistent at this point, no matter what time

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 4: I try to leave my house, every time I do leave,

13
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 4: I'm arriving at ten fifty one.

14
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 5: I love all the nicknames that you have, but the

15
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 5: woman to my right is my new favorite.

16
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's an act?

17
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 3: We have to be fonted that way?

18
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: Tell me the yes.

19
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 2: Yes, we this was our for the third time in

20
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: two weeks because of Mark.

21
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: We had picture day this morning. Yes, I think it's

22
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: a blessing.

23
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: I mean, the butterfly effect of Sestog going to see

24
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: his dentist named Krentist is still affecting the entire cur.

25
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: My son to the dentist. I'd I myself didn't just

26
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: schedule a dentist appointment out of thin air during a

27
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: foot a shoot.

28
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 4: No, Mark, I'm loving this look. It's giving a little

29
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 4: Ryan Fitzpatrick like. It's like I'm I like to have fun.

30
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 4: I can party, I'm going to go to an island,

31
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 4: but I'm also here for business and I love it.

32
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: You would think that that's a compliment.

33
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 3: It's super fun.

34
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: No, Like, I literally was like trying to imagine a

35
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: period of my adult existence where I less wanted, like

36
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: official photos that are going into the company, you know,

37
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: photo Bank, apparently for all time, like of me too.

38
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: No, it's even more ominous. It was these photos need

39
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: to be taken for marketing reasons.

40
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: Why is that ominous? It's marketing?

41
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: What does that mean? I don't like it's so all encompassing.

42
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel like you'll have the same breadth as

43
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 5: our last pictures, which I feel like didn't have a

44
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 5: lot of pop.

45
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 6: I can't remember. And then making a big impact.

46
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: And Greg going down there meaning nothing matters.

47
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 3: Again, do you do photos?

48
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 5: I do like the Mark a lot. Mark became the

49
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 5: change he wanted to see for years. On this show

50
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 5: he complained about male fashion, and now he's leading the way.

51
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: Everybody eventually turns. I thought our photographer was very encouraging.

52
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: I'd say that she kept telling us we looks great.

53
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: It was obviously it's great.

54
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 2: There's always a through line too, like when all of

55
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 2: a sudden a grown man's fashion changes, there's usually something

56
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 2: or someone behind it.

57
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: Well, we've seen that on the multiple times.

58
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: Just LEVI when he shows up that that is a

59
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: timeline changer. Yeah, I suggested because we did a group

60
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 2: shot and I said, I know what's gonna happen here.

61
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: Greg's gonna do the Greg outfit, which is like bomber

62
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 2: jacket and T shirt, it's not a Bomber. And then

63
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 2: and then Mark is going to do the Mark outfit,

64
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 2: which is like Oxford collared shirt and blazer. And then

65
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: whatever I wear is going to make the other person,

66
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 2: you know, standalone. So if I do something Gregy like

67
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 2: Mark is all of a sudden looking too stuffy. If

68
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: I do the same thing as Mark, then Gregy's you know,

69
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 2: look at me on the side of Walgreens.

70
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: I'm the cool guy of the group.

71
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: So I had to reach out to the group and

72
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 2: say maybe we should coordinate to be similarly casual.

73
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 6: But typically you did it after we were already here.

74
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 3: Amazing, that's the most that's ever happened.

75
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 6: Right, what ed, it's too late, we were already here.

76
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: What do you mean you said the thirty minutes before we.

77
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 5: Got there, Greg, And I understand you have to drive further.

78
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: You have an immense responsibility. Yes, we understand that, and

79
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: you fulfilled it today with your questions.

80
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: And I'm looking at him right now, Oh my god,

81
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: he's in the studio. It was Ryan fitzpatrick Flamingo album.

82
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 3: I'm into it.

83
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: Just feel comfortable and.

84
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: I'll tak once again. It's so good to have Greg here,

85
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: life coach. If only Greg could always be around to

86
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: tell us the way things should be seen.

87
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: We all have different opinion.

88
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 5: You you you said it while we were on the

89
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 5: way here.

90
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: Though at that point it's too late. I would have

91
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: changed if.

92
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 4: Tugboat could have just showed up as tugboat.

93
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 3: Would you have worn would you have gone in a different.

94
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: I brought both because we also have your first area. Yeah,

95
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: you're versatile.

96
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 6: You made a change actually after the great did because.

97
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 2: I had to pay on my original photos because I

98
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 2: was too sweaty for the first round way this time.

99
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they had a fan, which was nice, common

100
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: man rankings plunging speak of behavior. Yes, you have to

101
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: be the most annoying person I've ever met.

102
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 2: Happy holidays, everybody. Let's get to the show. Let's start

103
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: with fearless predictions of the rest of the regular season.

104
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 2: All right, so this is pretty straightforward, Connie, Right, the

105
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: final three weeks of the regular season. Let's throw out

106
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 2: some fearless ask predictions about what's gonna happen. How will

107
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: this all play out? And this season especially, it's gonna

108
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 2: be difficult because it's a weird season.

109
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: I'll get us going. It has to be regular season, yes, okay,

110
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: turning on a dime here, what did I write? I

111
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: don't know. I created something different, but I can still

112
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: use it.

113
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, some of mine encapsulate what's going to

114
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 5: happen at the very end of the regular season.

115
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 2: But that's fine.

116
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: Did anybody prepare for the show today? I did? I did.

117
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: I've already adjusted. Yeah, my entries.

118
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 2: All right, here we go, fearless predictions for the final

119
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 2: three weeks.

120
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: Of the regular season. I was laid out in my

121
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: text yesterday. I'll start here.

122
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills are going to win the AFC East I

123
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 2: don't think they lose again m.

124
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: Is at Chargers.

125
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: Home, Patriots at Dolphins, and then the Dolphins have so

126
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 2: they're eight and six and the Dolphins are obviously ten

127
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 2: and four, so they got two games, but their schedule

128
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 2: is a little trickier. They have they look at it

129
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 2: here home Dallas at Baltimore in Buffalo. So I do

130
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 2: think that the Bills and Dolphins fans are going to

131
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 2: be annoyed, but I do just trust the Bills and

132
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 2: I did trying to figure out this, you know, how

133
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 2: to look at these last three weeks not to get

134
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 2: sucked in by recency bias. It's hard, though, but it's

135
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 2: also this is a small This is three weeks, and

136
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 2: I think the Bills are playing as good as any

137
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 2: team in the league lately. So I think they're gonna

138
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: pull it off. And I think the Dolphins have a

139
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 2: stumble in them.

140
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 5: Basically, they just you're pick predicting the Dolphins winning Week eighteen.

141
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 5: I mean the Bills win in Week eighteen because very likely.

142
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 5: I don't think it's a hot take is for the division.

143
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 5: Because of the Bills schedule, they're playing Patsy's that have

144
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 5: just given up basically until then and if you're a

145
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 5: Dolphins fan and you have home Cowboys at Ravens, you'd

146
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 5: be happy with one in one. I mean, of course,

147
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 5: you want to be two and zero, and it's not

148
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 5: gonna feel good. If let's say you beat the Cowboys

149
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 5: this week, then you lose the rate, like that night,

150
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 5: it's not gonna feel good, or it's reversed that night,

151
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 5: it's not gonna feel good. But you're playing two of

152
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 5: the very best teams in the NFL. You are really

153
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 5: testing yourself. Splitting those two games, to me, would be

154
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 5: great for Miami. They would include their best win of

155
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 5: the season. And then it comes down to Week eighteen.

156
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 5: That matchup, you know early in the season was one sided,

157
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 5: and you're saying the Bills are a little more complete.

158
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 5: I would like to see that matchup with the division

159
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 5: on the line. What a great Sunday night football.

160
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: I feel like the Bills went on this crazy journey

161
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: where like everything felt kind of lost about ten days ago,

162
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: fourteen days ago, where like the coaches offering up nine

163
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: to eleven takes you know, not sort of problematic, and

164
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: like it felt like the Bills I was in twenty nineteen,

165
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: but it was well no, but it was brought up

166
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: now and like how to respond to it. And there

167
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: was also like a heat seeking think piece about the

168
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: fact that no one in the organization kind of believes

169
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: in them and he's taking them in strange places. But

170
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: then you go and do this against the Cowboys, and

171
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: it's like, this version of the Bills makes me believe

172
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: in what you just said that it's possible. I do

173
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: know that there are a lot of people that listen

174
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: to the show that think that Dan is very down

175
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: on the Dolphins. It's not because your Jets, really, but

176
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: people just feel that maybe that's what I think. What

177
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: you're actually saying is that the Bills, at their highest power,

178
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 1: can do exactly what you do. You are down on

179
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, but that's fine.

180
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 2: No, I am down on the Dolphins. But it's not

181
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: because it's not really because I like the Jets. It's

182
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 2: because they've been tested multiple times this year and failed

183
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 2: them against big opponents, and now they have another big

184
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 2: crucible situation here.

185
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: And I'm just curious.

186
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 2: But even if they lost both Dallas and Baltimore games

187
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 2: and Buffalo wins twice, it still comes down to Week eighteen.

188
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 5: Very like I don't know what the they can they

189
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 5: have now numbers for all this stuff. It's like the

190
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 5: odds that that game is for the division is very high,

191
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 5: is very high.

192
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 6: Well.

193
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 4: I first was kind of turned on to this when

194
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 4: Steve Kornaki did on Sunday Night Football at his board

195
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 4: and he was talking about the Bills and the Dolphins

196
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 4: and the rest of the way, and he does such

197
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 4: a good job, Like I just love Kornaki so much,

198
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 4: by the way, I wish that I could have him

199
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 4: in studio every week doing all of the different permutations

200
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 4: of everything.

201
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: But with the Bills, they're playing their best football right now.

202
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 4: The fact that they were able to run the ball

203
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 4: the way that they did, I couldn't believe my eyes

204
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 4: watching it. And we'll get into it a little bit. Yeah,

205
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 4: we preview the Chargers game coming up. We'll probably talk

206
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 4: a little bit more about the Bill's side of things anyway.

207
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 4: But the thing that's going to be a problem for

208
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 4: the Bills coming down to the end are the tiebreaker

209
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 4: scenarios like those losses that they had, the losses against

210
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 4: the Broncos and the Bengals that could get them.

211
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: They got to keep winning, all right, fearless prediction calling.

212
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 4: Okay, So for my fearless prediction, I was looking at

213
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 4: the fact that I think that the Rams will finish

214
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 4: ahead of the Seahawks. Even after the Seahawks coming through

215
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 4: with the huge win against the Eagles, they're both seven

216
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 4: and seven, and when you look at their schedules, the

217
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 4: Rams have the Saints, the Giants, and then they finish

218
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 4: against the Niners. But the Niners might be resting their

219
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 4: guys even though I don't know, two weeks of rest

220
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 4: if they get the bye, like, that's pretty that's an

221
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 4: interesting scenario, but they're not going to be playing their

222
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 4: stars the whole time. And then the Seahawks they have

223
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 4: the Titans, the Steelers, and the Cardinals.

224
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 3: Now they should be able to win all of those games.

225
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 4: But if the Rams end up winning the same number

226
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 4: of games as the Seahawks, they have the tiebreaker because

227
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 4: they swept Seattle already, so they just need to finish

228
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 4: with the same number of wins and then they'll finish

229
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 4: ahead of Seattle.

230
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 5: Unless it's like a four weight die true, then you're

231
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 5: then it just it's thrown up. It's like it could

232
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 5: be it's conference record, which yeah, I gotta have to look,

233
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 5: it would depend I guess what happened. They're common opponents,

234
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 5: you get deep into it. Rams just got to keep winning.

235
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 5: Seattle has a little more, little more margin for air

236
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 5: with that schedule. I do worry about County on the

237
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 5: forty nine ers resting people in Week eighteen.

238
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 6: You just can't. You just don't know. And that's that.

239
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 5: Look, the Rams played the forty nine ers pretty well

240
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 5: in that first matchup, like they'd look like very even

241
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 5: teams until the end when the bottom fell out. I

242
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 5: think the Rams would be up for that game, but

243
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 5: they'd be a pretty big under.

244
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: I am all about like I'm very anti seven playoff

245
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 1: teams in each conference, which I mentioned on Monday Night.

246
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: It's very annoying to me. They don't really belong in

247
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Most of these like later slots. But it

248
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: all matters which team it is. And I'm so pro

249
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: Rams over Seattle getting in there. And I think also

250
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: it starts like Thursday night, I feel like the Niners

251
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: are not it.

252
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 6: They could both get in there too. Well that's pop. Yeah,

253
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 6: we'll see.

254
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: But like the Niners to me don't feel like a

255
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: team that's gonna sit everyone in Week eighteen, no matter what.

256
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: I just don't feel like a shantlet's like hands you

257
00:11:58,679 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: know what.

258
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 2: I would say that, But then this is also a

259
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 2: team whose season got ruined last year, because.

260
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: That's what you're going. I just mean, like the the

261
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: old like Peyton Manning Colts were like, we just sit

262
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: the entire team, then you will lose a playoff game

263
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: the week later. I don't know if they know right now.

264
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: You know it's gonna be for so many reasons.

265
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: The Christmas Night game against the Ravens, both in terms

266
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 2: of top of the conference, but also it could make

267
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 2: a huge difference in the NFC at the bottom of

268
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 2: the conference because if the Niners lose that game, much

269
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 2: more likely chance that January seventh matters for them.

270
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: None of the playoffs. Guys, all right, GREGI fearless.

271
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, it has to be fearless. So let's go Jags

272
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 5: don't make the playoffs. That the Jags continue this free

273
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 5: fall and just fall all the way out of it.

274
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 5: And this is less about Lawrence. Right now, we're not practicing.

275
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 5: We tape on Wednesday, we'll have more for you Thursday

276
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 5: and everything. So it might be beth this week that they

277
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 5: could be underdogs at Tampa. It's less about the schedule

278
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 5: because they do have the Panthers next week at Tennessee,

279
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 5: like that is an ice final. Two games and two

280
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 5: out of three, considering they've had the tie breakers in

281
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 5: their division, would probably be enough. It's more just like

282
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 5: I'm trusting what I'm seeing, and I see a team

283
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 5: that makes a lot of their own problems and doesn't

284
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 5: have a lot of foundation to really stand on right now,

285
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 5: Zay Jones is week to week.

286
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: That's another receiver for them.

287
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 5: Their offensive lines got issues, the defense is bad, like

288
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 5: the running game is bad. I just they just feel

289
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 5: like a team that maybe wants to collapse. And I

290
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 5: don't know if it'll be Houston that steps in they

291
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 5: got their own quarterback injury, or Indianapolis or both, who knows,

292
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 5: But I just the Jaguars just feel like a team

293
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 5: that maybe they haven't hit their bottom yet.

294
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: It's gonna keep getting more. It's weird because it and

295
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: we talked about it on Sunday night. But like Christian Kirk,

296
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: who's not someone I think about that often, like him

297
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: not being in the lineup.

298
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 6: That's a lie I think all the time.

299
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: I mean often is high up. But like he like

300
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: his absence has meant so much to like they're swoon

301
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: like I think, and to lose a Jones, like they're

302
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: just not a team that's exciting right now. They feel

303
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: for this the work.

304
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 2: They gotta lose at Tampa, right They're gonna be Carolina

305
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,239
Speaker 2: at home, So that's you're gonna probably.

306
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 5: I mean the NFL Carolina has been in these games lately.

307
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 5: I mean it is in the game again in the

308
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 5: game against Tampa, because it's the NFL, Like they just

309
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 5: literally won a game and they were in the game

310
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 5: late against Tampa.

311
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: This can happen the.

312
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 2: Cover Lawrence is playing. They are not losing in the pit.

313
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 2: Probably at home, I wouldn't think. I mean, we'll reassess

314
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 2: the society and the world we live in if that happens,

315
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 2: that would be one of the biggest upsets. But you're right,

316
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 2: you never know. And then at Tennessee, it's not like

317
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 2: a killer schedule. They have to lose what two of three?

318
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 6: You probably have to lose the Tennessee game.

319
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 3: Yes, I like a bonus.

320
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 5: Again, I don't know how it's gonna happen. It just

321
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 5: feels like this is in there, it's in their vibes.

322
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 3: Right now, what's going on over there?

323
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: Well, it's covered, it's covered. We're good there. Okay.

324
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 4: So if the Jags don't do what you just predicted,

325
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 4: and they do make the playoffs, I predict just as

326
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 4: like a little adjacent one, that Jake Browning and the

327
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 4: Bengals end up beating them in the playoffs and knocking

328
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 4: them out.

329
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: If they make it. Well, that's a very like that.

330
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 3: If we're going fearless. It just popped in my head.

331
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 3: All right, geez, I enjoyed it.

332
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: I like it. If that happens.

333
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 2: Eric Ray's circle back on that circle back, let's cut

334
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 2: that one. Amazing all right, beerless prediction mark it.

335
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: First of all, I have no laptops, so I don't

336
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: know what to do with my physical body starting, but

337
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: I would say that it is a like a bloody

338
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: cood ata to get. I'm always going for chain poking

339
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: underneath this. This is what I'm Yeah, I didn't see it.

340
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: I think you saw that. I didn't see that. I

341
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: love it. Talked with Gunzo about that the other night.

342
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: But it is a bloody cud a toad and go

343
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: forth and not have your topic ripped away by one

344
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: of the previous three entries. So I did that happen

345
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: to you? No, I feel very.

346
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 6: Lucky that the Oh great, I'm bloody.

347
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. So the Chiefs, right, I think there's been a

348
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: lot of consternation about frustration like that the Chiefs will

349
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: somehow just slide into the number one seed because of

350
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: everyone else kind of not handling their business. I predict

351
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: they will not number one. I'll start there like, that's

352
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: not totally fearless. But mathematically they play the Raiders. I

353
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: think something weird might happen on Christmas Day there, they

354
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: play the Bengals. I'm all in on Jake Browning right now.

355
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: Then they play the Chargers, a slight disaster, but you

356
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: never know. But the reason that people will peg them

357
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: not winning the number one seed slotting is that Travis

358
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: Kelcey and Taylor Swift will break up before the end

359
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: of the regular season and it will cause a lot

360
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: of rumbling, a lot of discussion, and then the Chiefs

361
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: go into the playoffs and they are dismissed.

362
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 2: You know, it seems from the outside that they really

363
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 2: care for each other.

364
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: Mark, so now you're now you're rooting right for them.

365
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: It's what I sense it's not what I want. Wait,

366
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: so what was the first part of it? Well, so

367
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: it actually goes in reverse order. They Taylor Swift and

368
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: Fact Kelsey, or let's say they like like maybe it's

369
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: like not a breakup, but they take a break. The

370
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: classic like, we're taking a break, it's a there's a reporting,

371
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: there's reporting around that they're taking a bit of a break.

372
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: And then the Chiefs like flat line until was literally.

373
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 5: She went to Foxborough, Massachusetts four days ago.

374
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 4: I've done a total one to eighty. Nobody goes to

375
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 4: fox and now I love them. Now I'm totally on boring.

376
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: I was completely but I also do I do too,

377
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 1: so I'm not. I'm actually not. So how does that

378
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: affect their the chief I think it's just it's people

379
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: can't like it from a ven diagrement. People can't separate

380
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: the fact that it might have nothing to do with

381
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. So like Travis Kelcey, you gotta get the

382
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 1: lower version of Kelsey, which we feel like we've been getting,

383
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: like and then they break up and like he flat

384
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: lines in a game and the Chiefs don't get the

385
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: number one seed and then they're out of the playoffs

386
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: and it's just like, wait a minute, don't mix love

387
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: in business.

388
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 2: And you were worried one of us, we're gonna step

389
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 2: on that one, right.

390
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 5: I mean, they're very they are very unlikely to get

391
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 5: the number one seed just because they're two games back

392
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 5: with three to play.

393
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 1: Despite this, I know, but haven't you heard people just

394
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: say like, Oh, I'm just so worried they're gonna get it,

395
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: Like this is our biggest worry that the Chiefs like,

396
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 1: that's our biggest problem.

397
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 2: All right, I have a couple of quick ones. We'll

398
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 2: just throw out. Anybody else can throw them out too.

399
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 2: I think the Steelers have already won for the final

400
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 2: time this season. You look at their schedule and the

401
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 2: way they're playing and what's going on in that building

402
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 2: right now, none of it feels good. And Mark, you'll

403
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 2: like this one. Brock Purdy will be the prohibitive favorite

404
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 2: favorite for MVP by close of business week eighteen.

405
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: I like that, and I think he'll be.

406
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 2: And I'm just gonna back this up because I did

407
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 2: some Niners single season passing record research and this is

408
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 2: a team with the history.

409
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 3: Is rich, very real rich.

410
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 2: He will be the QB one by the end of

411
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 2: the season. This is why he's gonna definitely win it.

412
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 2: He'll be QB one of a number one seed, and

413
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 2: he'll own that forty nine or single season records for

414
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 2: passing tds, breaking Steve Young's thirty six and ninety eight yards,

415
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 2: breaking Jeff Garcia's forty two, seventy eight and two thousand

416
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 2: passer rating. That's Young again, one twelve point eight ninety

417
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 2: four yards per attempt some guy named Joe Montana point

418
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 2: one in nineteen eighty nine. And people will then try

419
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 2: to manufacture CMC as his closest competitor for clicks and conversation,

420
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 2: but he'll get the offensive Player of the year, so

421
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 2: that'll be clearcut as well.

422
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: No drama in that conference. There was this year back

423
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: in two thousand and three that Peyton Manning and Steve

424
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 1: McNair tied by voters count for they both they won

425
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: co MVP and pardon me, was wishing like, why can't

426
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: you just hoist up teammate co MVPs. Yeah, like Brock

427
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: Purty and CMC.

428
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 5: Problems That would take the coordination of like fifty different voters.

429
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 4: Well, right, they're splitting the vote, so they're taking votes

430
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 4: away from each other but also the fact that when

431
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 4: you go back to two thousand, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers,

432
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 4: and Tom Brady are the only three quarterbacks that have

433
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 4: had a higher passer rating than brock Party through fifteen weeks.

434
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: I think it's all.

435
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 2: It's getting to the point where it's staring us in

436
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 2: their face, like all his numbers in the team success.

437
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 2: So it's going to really take, like again, a coordinated

438
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 2: like decision. And amongst the football riders.

439
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 5: Well or does Lamar vastly outplays them in a road

440
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 5: win on Sunday?

441
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 2: But Lamar has like sixteen touchdown passes this year.

442
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 6: I'm just saying, and his MVP though, well, he's actually that.

443
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 5: This is this is why it's curious because I saw

444
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 5: someone tweet out today it's like, Okay, now it's down

445
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 5: to a three man race for MVP by the odds, Pretty,

446
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 5: Lamar and CMC.

447
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 1: CMC's second.

448
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 5: And it's just funny because like last week, it was

449
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 5: a two man race. So if you you know, between

450
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 5: Dak and Pretty, so if you accept that it could

451
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 5: change from a two man race to a three man

452
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 5: race in one week where now one of the men

453
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 5: that was there, we could go is no longer there

454
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 5: like it can absolutely flip back. Now, that's why Fearless

455
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 5: pretty right, dramatic things would need to happen. What would

456
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 5: need to happen is for Party to struggle and Lamar

457
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 5: to have a great game on Monday night, and then

458
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,880
Speaker 5: those odds would be dramatically different next week when we're

459
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 5: talking about this. But that's all that needs to happen,

460
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 5: is I just want I don't think that's gonna happen.

461
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 5: I think the forty Nights are going to win that game,

462
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 5: but that if that happened, that that.

463
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's definitely path where he steals the spotlight in

464
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 2: the game.

465
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 5: I agree with you because like resting, yards and touchdowns

466
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 5: matter a lot, like Allen and Lamar's value yeah add

467
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:08,360
Speaker 5: a lot.

468
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: That just it's such a lesser overall body of work

469
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: to me than when he actually won MVP Lamar.

470
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,239
Speaker 2: Jackson and he's he passed. He looks better than his

471
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 2: numbers are even. I mean, he's he's eighth and QBR Lamar,

472
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 2: he's he's seventeenth and touchdown passes fifteenth in yards pass.

473
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 1: How does that add up to MVP? Well, I'm saying

474
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't That's what I'm saying. But you've added a.

475
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 5: Lot of times you've looked at, yeah, the MVPs, and sometimes.

476
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: You gotta have to nail those counting stats. Also.

477
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, with these voters, it's not just what right McCaffrey

478
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,199
Speaker 5: has A has a better chance if he was going

479
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 5: to do it, if it like Party's saying, Gopher McCaffrey.

480
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 5: If McCaffrey had an insane ending and ends up with

481
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 5: twenty five hundred yards and twenty eight touchdowns and Party

482
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 5: like struggles against the Ravens, but they win anyways, Like

483
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 5: there are different routes, but they're all small needles to thread,

484
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 5: and Party's probably.

485
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 2: I think Lamar's only chance, Greg is if he absolutely

486
00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 2: goes nuts in that game, like yeah, nuts.

487
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 5: The best game of and the week after against Miami,

488
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 5: like you, they've got a lot of big but the.

489
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 2: Christmas game with all the eyeballs against the big team

490
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 2: like that is, Yes, that is his only chance. It's

491
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 2: kind of a Hail Mary everbody else want to throw

492
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 2: out anymore before we move one.

493
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 4: It's it's more of a reckless prediction than a fearless

494
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 4: prediction because I'm.

495
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 3: Not I believe in this this is insane.

496
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 4: But the Bears will finish strong, so strong against the Cardinals,

497
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 4: the Falcons and the Packers that they end up sticking

498
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 4: with justin fields and trading away the Panthers pick of course,

499
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 4: Joe Flacco.

500
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 1: Panthers pick.

501
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, they'll trade down to get more assets so they

502
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 4: can build around. But the strong finish is why it's

503
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 4: regular season because against those three.

504
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that work.

505
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 5: And if they could tread down to like two or three,

506
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 5: and then it's they'll get Marvin here, Recklass, Greg Well

507
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 5: mine was connected in these again, are sort of like

508
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 5: he's just on the edge of the regulations that Tomlin

509
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 5: will not be the coach after this long losing streak,

510
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 5: that you're predicting that they lose great games to the season.

511
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,719
Speaker 5: That it's like a mutual type of thing, and that

512
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 5: Kyle Shanahan, and this is something Hayden Winks, who's worked

513
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 5: at roadal World, pointed out on Twitter. I like the

514
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 5: number and I agree with it that Kyle Shanahan should

515
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 5: be Coach of the Year. Like why is Kyle Shanahan

516
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 5: not Coach of the year. Everything that encompasses coaching, like

517
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 5: numbers wise, you literally have the right now potentially the

518
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 5: greatest offense in the history of the league, or at

519
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 5: least since the eighties in terms of leading in points,

520
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 5: rushing yards, passing yards, all these things, and like he

521
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 5: put this all together, he's losing his assistant. Everything that go.

522
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 5: Like for some reason he is a little lower on

523
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 5: that list. But I think if they've dropped bombs the

524
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 5: next three weeks, and I kind of think they will

525
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 5: that I'm with you, perty's likely to win the MVP,

526
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 5: and I think they can sweep these words and Kyle

527
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 5: Ji should win the order and he's never won it,

528
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 5: and I do like the ideas that, like coach of

529
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 5: the guys, who should be Coach of the Year, at

530
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 5: some point you should win.

531
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: It one time. Well, so I'm completely with over, like

532
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: Shane Steike and you know, it was great, but it's

533
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 1: like a six to it. No, but you're problem, You're like,

534
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: I'm with you, Like I mean, like I think he's

535
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: third in terms of odds right now, right like third

536
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: or fourth, and like, uh it. But the problem is

537
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 1: it's a narrative driven award. I think the.

538
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 6: Narrative will change the next three weeks. Well, this is

539
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 6: gonna start bubbling.

540
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: Up that's fine, but like Belichick should have won it

541
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 1: sixteen times, and it's like I am with you on Shanahan,

542
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: but it always seems to one.

543
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 2: Yet no, no, that's part of you know, he hasn't

544
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 2: gotten one that helps.

545
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: But it's good. But like I think voters think of

546
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: like a stike In or a Right or like a

547
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: even a Stefanski or like like damike o Ryan's like

548
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 1: it's like team was a disaster, team is now success.

549
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: I'm with you on narrative.

550
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 5: I do think the narrative though maybe the next three weeks,

551
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 5: if they keep driving bombs, is going to turn into like,

552
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 5: oh my god. I know they lost three games, but

553
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 5: this is literally one of the greatest teams and greatest

554
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 5: offenses we've ever seen.

555
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 6: What helps her, then he wins the narrat and it

556
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 6: helps the thirty.

557
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: One other teams are unimpressive. There aren't learn like three

558
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: dominant teams.

559
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 2: There's I think similar I agree with you that I

560
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 2: think they finished strong, and I think that is a

561
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 2: big conversation as the playoffs begin.

562
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 1: It's just one of the best teams ever.

563
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 2: Because all the pop the hood analytics stats back up

564
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 2: that this team is performing, especially on obviously on a

565
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 2: level that's rarely been a cheap.

566
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: And they survived unlike most teams like the Trey Lance

567
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: trade up to get Trey Lance, which is a disaster,

568
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: like most teams like GM and coach float away. After

569
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: all that that feel save their ass exactly, But it's

570
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: like something happened and they did a nice job.

571
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 2: They picked them last in the draft, but they did

572
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 2: pick them all right, Mark closed this out.

573
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: So I did this exercise in correctly. I have like

574
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 1: a playoff one got it's one line, but what do

575
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: you got? Joe Flacco, yes, beats Greg's little darling Lamar

576
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: Jackson in the playoffs, kind of flipping. He's a big man.

577
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 6: So when he came near us, he did, he came

578
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 6: near us in London.

579
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 5: But like, wow, I just think that will happen, and

580
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 5: it's like football makes no sense at that point and

581
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 5: it's kind of beautiful all at once, but that somehow

582
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 5: Joe Flacco, the Browns quarterback, beats the Ravens in the

583
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 5: playoffs with Lamar Jackson who probably will be you know,

584
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 5: second and m VP vote.

585
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I'm in the stars.

586
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 2: I told you I had a vision this morning you

587
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 2: did of Flaco beating the Dolphins in the playoffs.

588
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 1: I just think something weird is ahead and that's not

589
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: you know, attachments.

590
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 5: So well, I think, what do you mean? I think

591
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 5: we can accept that deep in the subconscious. Maybe there's

592
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 5: a little bit of Brown's attachment of the freaking Browns

593
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 5: beating the team you hate the most.

594
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: To the point we can't be like Joe Flack was

595
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: on this really weird like personal.

596
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 6: Jet up with something's weird, it's.

597
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: Gonna happen, and like Lamar Jackson feels like the perfect victim.

598
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 6: Wait ends well in the Browns defense taking care of

599
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 6: the Ravens.

600
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: I could see that which happened.

601
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 2: What if they beat the Dolphins in round one and

602
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 2: then Lamar in round two? Well, we got to open

603
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 2: up some type of business, yes, because we would have.

604
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: We would have. We are seers at that.

605
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 5: Point and mahomes in round three and suddenly we're in

606
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 5: Las Vegas and it's Joe Flacca who shaved the beer

607
00:26:59,119 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 5: this week.

608
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if that Oh, I hate that, actually

609
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: loved it. I hate that. Why? I mean, he looks

610
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: goods because Gonza told us.

611
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 3: Then, I mean, like everyone can do what they want.

612
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 4: I have no judgment. It's just I think that he

613
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 4: looks better.

614
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: Well, he also has you know, he's we talked about

615
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: the sneak, nice jaw, and then you'd realize in person.

616
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 2: All right, well Mark, good luck with that fearless prediction.

617
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 2: All right, let's uh.

618
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: By the way, I.

619
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 2: Don't even think we mentioned it. Coming up after the break,

620
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 2: we got connor Or.

621
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 3: I'm so excited.

622
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: It's the connor Or Holiday Special.

623
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 2: He talks about his favorite Hallmark films of the year,

624
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 2: and I cannot wait.

625
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: He's excited.

626
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 2: Before we do that, let's just get caught up on

627
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 2: a couple of things in the news.

628
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 1: Oh.

629
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 2: There he is, seventy two year old Pete Carroll in

630
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 2: the Seahawks locker room after that dramatic Monday night win

631
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 2: at home, and he's he's correct about that.

632
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 1: Also that you win that game in the fourth quarter.

633
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: It looks like he did like a nineteen fifties newsboy

634
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: with his hat backwards, like you know, throwing the newspaper

635
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: at people's door on his bicycle.

636
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 2: There's a there's more to that clip and credit at

637
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 2: the Seahawks Twitter on that, because awesome inside you I

638
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 2: love the postgame locker room stuff the team sent out at.

639
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: The very end of it, He's just like, I'm so pumped.

640
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: I'm just so pumped.

641
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 2: Maybe we could get that as a drop eric going forward,

642
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 2: because also like pretty out of breath when he was

643
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 2: like continuing to talk, and I was starting to worry

644
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 2: a little bit about him.

645
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: But well, we were like Dan and I believe nightow

646
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: when they beat the Broncos in the Super Bowl, we

647
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: were in the postgame locker room, and if I'm not mistaken,

648
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: it was Pete Carroll up on top of the lockers.

649
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: Somehow he had climbed the ladder was up on top

650
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: of the weren't there, But that was well, I wouldn't

651
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: know you went to either a winning or losing locker room.

652
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: And I walked in there and was like, I thought

653
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: that was like Harrol up on the locker room, like shot.

654
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that was a Super Bowl. I thought

655
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: that was earlier. And we wrote about it on like

656
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: the blog no Is when they took Peyton ran into

657
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: the grave.

658
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 2: Basically, yeah, imagine Pete climbing up there.

659
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: He's awesome.

660
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 5: Latter, on the other side, they didn't just climb out

661
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 5: and always but in many ways a man too. For myself,

662
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 5: I'll speak for myself to model myself after, because he

663
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 5: is sucking the marrow out of life. He knows that's

664
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 5: life right there in the locker room. He's seventy two

665
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 5: years old. He knows the end is closer to the

666
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 5: beginning and that there's nothing better in life than that

667
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 5: moment right there, and he is gonna like enjoy it

668
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 5: as much as he possibly can.

669
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: He's the man.

670
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 3: He hasn't all figured out.

671
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 2: He does, he really, he really does. On the other

672
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 2: side of the spectrum is is the Chargers. By the way,

673
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 2: this fell into the black hole, the ATM black hole,

674
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 2: because it occurred on Friday morning and we haven't really

675
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 2: had a chance to talk about it. But the Chargers

676
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 2: got rid of their head coach, Brendan Staley and their gym.

677
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 2: Yeah us go, and I thought we needed to put

678
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 2: a put a stop to this free fall, this black hole.

679
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: So they have a new head coach.

680
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 2: His name is Giff or Jeff Smith, and he is

681
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 2: the interim coach for the final three games. He's and

682
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 2: this is what he looks like and this is what

683
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 2: he sounds like. And he met with the media for

684
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 2: the first time. Well that's what he looks like. But

685
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 2: here is a gift on.

686
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: The Charge the older John Harbaal Yep.

687
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 7: I've been in this game a while and uh there's

688
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,959
Speaker 7: always new things that come up. And uh I've been

689
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 7: around a lot of great coaches through the years, and uh,

690
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 7: you just roll with it. You give to these players,

691
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 7: you give to this organization.

692
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: Have been of a vibe.

693
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 2: It's like an uncle or somebody like a Sessler family reunion.

694
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 2: See a little bit right, just like.

695
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,760

Speaker 3: Stat was so nice. I love a family man.

710
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 5: He's on that staff. I was working at student television

Speaker 5: back then. That was you can cross under.

712

Speaker 1: you now spend now?

714
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 5: I was very rarely in the in the locker room,

715
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 5: Giffsmith and it's the hard gea and Patrick Claybohn suggested

716
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 5: that should just be his nickname.

717
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: Har G.

718
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 3: I thought that his name was Griff this whole time.

719
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 3: In my head I was calling him correct.

720
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 2: I'm sure it's not Jeff, Is it is?

721
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: I just I don't know that.

722
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,719
Speaker 2: I don't know my data didn't getting anything up on

723
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 2: that on that end my research.

724
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: Uh, you know what's funny?

725
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 5: On that third that Thursday night blowout was so bad

726
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 5: with the Chargers. I actually did treat it like they

727
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 5: were getting fired right, because I had never seen a

728
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 5: game where it seemed it was more so, I was like,

729
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 5: because we're not going to be back till Sunday, let's

730
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 5: look back a little on this daily thing because it

731
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 5: looked like it was all over then and maybe Gift

732
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 5: Smith turns it around. I am curious did Kellen Moore

733
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 5: turn down the job? People speculated about that that he didn't.

734
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, the same thing over And finally, one last bit

735
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 2: of research here. These are two comments from the Chargers

736
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 2: sub reddit. He looks like that one dude from the

737
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 2: water Boy and I know what he's talking. I know

738
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 2: he's talking about one of those Sandler cronies and and

739
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 2: he Another person wrote, uh, Gift Smith or Jiff Smith

740
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 2: looked suspiciously like my father. Some guy had a personal

741
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 2: now that would happen. What a revelation that would be.

742
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 2: And that is another edition of getting to know Jeff Smith.

743
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 2: Jeff Smith, Giff Smith. Yeah. So anyway, the Chargers, they're

744
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 2: going to hire a whole bunch of people. Another another

745
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 2: coach who's in trouble is Arthur Smith. We were talking

746
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 2: about where's Arthur Blank on everything right now? Arthur Blank

747
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 2: spoke to Georgia Public Broadcasting about the situation at head

748
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 2: coach in Atlanta.

749
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: Here's what Blank had to say.

750
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 8: And I think that you know, through this part of

751
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,479
Speaker 8: the season, it's been mixed, quite honestly, and that's what

752
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 8: I think, that's what the coach would say, you know,

753
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 8: and he's just author is a.

754
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: Very amazing Wait a second.

755
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 8: Very looks himself very critically, so he's not. You know,

756
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 8: he comes from a beautiful family that that you know,

757
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 8: has great values and those values and his leadership as

758
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 8: best he can. So I you know, we'll see how

759
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 8: the season plays out and go from there.

760
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 1: What a non answer.

761
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,879
Speaker 2: Also, that was a PBS interview Public Broadcasting.

762
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: They're all in sweaters and you know the year is it?

763
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 2: I don't know the whole team, But digging that one up,

764
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,720
Speaker 2: how many shows are using PBS Broadcasting and the Georgia

765
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 2: Public Broadcasting.

766
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: Why why would he go in the in the world

767
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,399
Speaker 1: do we live in? Media wise, you go and drop

768
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: this bomb on silver Fox had asked him the question.

769
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:47,280
Speaker 2: Maybe he would only answer questions from that particular journalist

770
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 2: very curious.

771
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 5: Maybe it's probably not, but maybe it's one of those

772
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 5: things that was set up ahead of time to promote

773
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 5: something different and it just falls in this week the schedule.

774
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. And by the way, the translation out

775
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: is he gone, yes, Well, when you quickly divert to

776
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: he's got a beautiful family, beautiful family, great value, beautiful

777
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: X valuable. Yeah, like all those things.

778
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 3: Very critical of himself.

779
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,240
Speaker 6: They have cults at Bears, at Saints.

780
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 5: Certainly they could improve and win two out of three

781
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 5: of those games and then I think you would have

782
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 5: a job.

783
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 2: But even if he even if another Smith gets let go,

784
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 2: it's very it's very important that home Depot and FedEx

785
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,280
Speaker 2: from main corporate partners.

786
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: So this is to be handled well, I'd agree with you.

787
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 4: I'm surprised that there's not a branded segment for the

788
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 4: the Arthur's here.

789
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:37,879
Speaker 1: That's a good quest, that's a good point.

790
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 3: That's something that maybe next week, next.

791
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 2: Week finally in the news. You know, Tommy DeVito, this

792
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 2: situation is.

793
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 1: Listen.

794
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know everything, Greg, but I

795
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 2: could tell when something's going on. That's Sean Stillado, the agent.

796
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 3: I'm met him on Faturday night.

797
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 2: I texted you know who? I texted, Yeah, we got

798
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 2: a lot, Mike g I texted him this morning. I said,

799
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 2: Sean Stillado, you know this guy, like, have you ever

800
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 2: heard of this guy before?

801
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: You know? On background? I said, on background?

802
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 3: He said, I it's on background.

803
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 2: Then you know, and he said, you've let violate, but

804
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 2: let the insider finish the sentence. He said, I've known

805
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 2: him for twenty years and you could put that on record.

806
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,760
Speaker 1: Now, that's all he said. I can't. I can't divulge

807
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 1: anything else.

808
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:40,399
Speaker 2: But I my first instinct from that Monday night game

809
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 2: was this guy better be on the up and up.

810
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 2: He better be up first thing in the morning. He

811
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 2: better be working in DeVito's best interests. And what happens

812
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 2: at that little pizzeria in Morristown They win a Monday

813
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 2: night and Stillado renegs on a deal an appearance. He said, no,

814
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 2: Tommy was gonna come for ten thousand dollars.

815
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: No. Now, now the deals.

816
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 2: To twenty thousand, and de Vito is so horrified that

817
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 2: he went to the pizza shop yesterday free of charge

818
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 2: did the appearance.

819
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 3: That's good damage control.

820
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 2: And critically and part of my prediction. The lotto has

821
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 2: been relieved of his marketing duties now connected WHOA okay,

822
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 2: but wait, he's still the contract agent, correct, which I

823
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 2: don't see an extension coming anytime soon for DeVito. But

824
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 2: Tommy is already, as I said, someone's going to be

825
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 2: in his ear like Hey, there is now a new person,

826
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 2: business person in charge of his money affairs.

827
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 4: That new person is Max Lapzelter, and Max has been

828
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 4: working with him from the jump doing marketing.

829
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: So I feel like.

830
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 4: That was also just a way to give Stilado a

831
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 4: little bit of a like cover because Max has been

832
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:00,879
Speaker 4: doing his more marketing from the jump.

833
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,280
Speaker 3: So maybe Stillado secured that deal.

834
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 4: And then Slado said that there was never a contract signed,

835
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 4: so how can they renig on a contract that didn't

836
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 4: exist before.

837
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 3: So I got a lot of questions about this guy.

838
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 1: And you and you met him, what was your impression

839
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: of You got a lot of information too, I got it.

840
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 4: I was so excited to meet Stillato because Garif Folo,

841
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 4: having known him from for so long, was like, you

842
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 4: know who's going to be at the game tonight. When

843
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 4: we all jumped in the car to go over to

844
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 4: Broncos and Lions, I was like, who uh, he's like

00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 2: Yeah it is uh as we tape this December twentieth,

888
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 2: it is smack dab in the middle of the holiday season.

889
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: Honkkah in the rear view. Christmas just ahead, Honica.

Speaker 3: Is over for rap bro it is the lights are out.

891
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 1: Sorry, Greg, Yeah, we don't you know that.

892
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 2: We don't celebrate on He did reveal there's no manor

893
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 2: in the house, which surprised me.

894
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 1: But there'll be one.

895
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 6: You guys don't I guess I don't share enough of myself.

896
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 2: But now, well, we've never been invited to your house,

897
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 2: so there's a start house.

898
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: We have a house. I was not reading. Greg lived

899
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 1: here this whole time. Yeah, no idea.

900
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 5: I was not raised religious, and that surprised. Never had

901
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 5: any manora in either house. When I was very young,

902
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 5: I actually had one, and then we just sort of

903
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 5: ignored my mom and then.

904
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 2: Always a little bit of jealousy for the kids that

905
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 2: celebrated Christmas, and because you kind of clean it up

906
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 2: and your kids could have been in that bucket, but you.

907
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 5: We were sort of were those kids, and both me

908
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 5: and my brother were like, let's just do Christmas.

909
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,359
Speaker 1: It's way better. But like literally from like a from

910
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: a hardcore religious angle, yes, you cannot celebrate both as

911
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: a kid. You can because your parents. You cannot be both.

912
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 6: Right, none of the people and cannot be here Christian.

913
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 5: Is this the theology podcast is to say, like like

914
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 5: trust from I'm more saying technically from.

915
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,720
Speaker 1: A PFF PFF spiritual if you were like a PFF

916
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: spirituality site, like you can't be both, Like as a

917
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: kid have all the gifts, you can't be.

918
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 5: Both right, you can be either of them, can be neither.

919
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 5: Hey what is PFF? Just like like there's no feeling,

920
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 5: it's just hardcore numbers, technical side of things, rankings, right,

921
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 5: you can't be both and it's just like but it's like, oh,

922
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 5: I'm gonna get gifts on like twelve days and a

923
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 5: bunch of what and a birthday probably in there.

924
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 2: Sourism is really and that's the evil of it all.

925
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think our guest comes is coming up, would agree, right,

926
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: what if your your dad was like born in Nazi Germany?

927
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,439
Speaker 5: And then they were like there is no god, my god?

928
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 5: So Grega, why are you? We can't argue you. You're right,

929
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 5: but I'm just why is that not valid?

930
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 1: You know? And then completely theology was invalid?

931
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 2: Greg All right, bring that hip hop Santa because Nazi

932
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:45,520

955
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 2: in general, before we get into the trailer for the

956
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 2: first one, can you tell me again and tell the

957

Speaker 1: Because it's not an exaggeration. You guys watch.

00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 2: These movies all throughout the December and November.

961
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 9: Right starting November one, we go full Hallmark outside of

962
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 9: Monday night, Thursday night, and Sunday night. So and then

963
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,399
Speaker 9: even if we have a bad Thursday night game, we'll

964
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 9: also do laptop football.

965
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 10: And then we'll do big.

966
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 3: Screen, big screen Hallmark, Big screen.

967
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 10: Hallmark one hundred percent.

968
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 9: And I think the reason I do it, I actually

969
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 9: I had this reaffirmed this year. So we were at

970
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 9: a neighbor's house and everyone's just talking about like what

971
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 9: kind of what shows that they were watching, and you know,

972
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 9: someone was like, yeah, did you see the ending of Ozarks?

973
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 9: Like yeah, it turns out, you know, in order to

974
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 9: be successful you have to murder everybody, and like, you know,

975
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 9: the family unit is dead and we're all individual creatures

976
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 9: of our own destiny. And and oh did you see

977
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 9: the ending of Beef? It turns out like our parents

978
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 9: screw us up and the only way to save you know, yeah,

979
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 9: and you.

980
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: Know, I know exactly what you mean.

981
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 9: Why are we not purging ourselves like mentally and going

982
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 9: on like a Hallmark fast And you know, because okay, yes,

983
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 9: what the Ozarks is telling you is true. But also

984
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 9: you might be in need of a romantic partner. You

985
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 9: might go to a snow covered small town and you

986
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:35,319
Speaker 9: might meet a hot mailman and fall in love like

987
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:35,840
Speaker 9: over a.

988
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 10: Couple of hot chocolate. Like that is as possible.

989
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 9: As like, oh, the overwhelming sorrow and sadness and realities

990
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 9: of and harshness of the world. Like let's let's zoom

991
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 9: in on you know, hey, look at this. Here's this

992
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:54,839
Speaker 9: teacher and here's this guy who like fell into her

993
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 9: at the at the coffee store and now they just

994
00:45:57,960 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 9: they love each other and they love Christmas.

995
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 10: What's the problem with.

996
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 4: That, Well, I feel like because that guy's actually leading

997
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 4: a double life and nobody knows it and they don't

998
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:05,280
Speaker 4: show it on Hallmark.

999
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 1: Well, there's nothing wrong with that. I hate that.

1000
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 10: That's part of the problem.

1001
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 1: That's what that's why why I am the problem, Connor. Connor.

1002
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 2: So what you're saying, Connor, and I love this theory,

1003
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 2: is that because all that bleakness sells, especially in prestige drama.

1004
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,240
Speaker 2: So in a way, you can look at these Hallmark

1005
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 2: movies and say, oh, they're trash and they're overly sunny,

1006
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,720
Speaker 2: But to you, it's a balancing of the cultural scales

1007
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 2: that really helps us as a society not become so

1008
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:36,800
Speaker 2: cold and broken like Connie.

1009
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 10: Here, it is it is. It is a mental vegetable.

1010
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 6: It is, it is, it is.

1011
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 10: It is health for your brain.

1012
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,479
Speaker 9: It is showing yourself the other side of the coin,

1013
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 9: because there's always a silver lining, and Hallmark, to me

1014
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 9: is the is the permanent silver lining.

1015
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 10: It's what I love.

1016
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 4: You should hang out with my dad because my dad

1017
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 4: asks me on a weekly basis, maybe sometimes more when

1018
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 4: I'm going to go and work at the Hallmark channel,

1019
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 4: and I just keep telling him that's not how it works,

1020
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 4: and Hallmark isn't really like a network like a NFL, and.

1021
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 3: He is still really he's gonna die on that, although

1022
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 3: the idea of.

1023
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:18,280
Speaker 2: A pregame like halftime in postgame coverage of these films

1024
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 2: films will be incredible, Uh, Connor, Let's let's start with

1025
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 2: the one that I watched.

1026
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:29,839
Speaker 1: It is The Santa Summit, released this year. Here is the.

1027
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:31,320
Speaker 2: Trailer The Santa Summit.

1028
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 3: Not the thing with all the Santas. Absolutely thing with

1029
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:34,240
Speaker 3: all the Santas.

1030
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 2: I am in three best friends. I need my way, ladies,

1031
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:39,520

Speaker 1: Something I just want the most amazing guy. If you

00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:46,879
Speaker 1: How are we going to find her? You don't even

1035
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 1: know what she looks like today. It's the only chance

1036
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 1: I get.

1037
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 2: To find her.

1038
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 10: What is it about the holidays?

1039
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: It just puts throw means in the air.

1040
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 10: The Santa Summit?

1041
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,320
Speaker 1: Alright, So this is starring Hunter King, Amy Groening.

1042
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 2: Ben Halsworth is the hotty Hunter King, yes, and Stephanie

1043
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 2: sie as the cynic and who gets her heart warmed?

1044
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: Is the is the film? Progresses?

1045
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:17,240
Speaker 2: Connor, your takeaways from the Santa Summit.

1046
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 10: I don't know if you've.

1047
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 9: Ever seen Do you ever see the movie Project X?

1048
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 3: Is that a Hallmark movie?

1049
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 10: No?

1050
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 9: No, So the Project X was like it came out

1051
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 9: when I was in college, and it was like the

1052
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 9: it was like the epic party movie where it's just

1053
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 9: so over the top and like it was like a

1054
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 9: massive house party that just basically got out of control.

1055
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 9: This is the Hallmark equivalent of Project X, where I

1056
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:44,800
Speaker 9: would say, like they're taking all of Christmas, They're turning

1057
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 9: it up to one hundred and then they're just like

1058
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:50,319
Speaker 9: blasting you confetti gun style in the space with it.

1059
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 9: And I love I love everything about it, like I

1060
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 9: in it. The message is great, right, like this woman

1061
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 9: bumps into this hot carpenter and all of a sudden,

1062
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:04,239
Speaker 9: like you know, game changer, we're all good, Like life

1063
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 9: is good.

1064
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 2: Right, he's a contractor with his brother, correct, Is that correct?

1065
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:09,399
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1066
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 2: And and it's it's interesting I thought the takeaway from

1067
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 2: this movie again because everything is it's through a different

1068
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,880
Speaker 2: lens of very. The world is actually a perfect place.

1069
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 2: So Santa Summit is a takeoff of Santa Con, which

1070
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 2: is a broadly reviled tradition at least in New York.

1071
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:30,439
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's everyone, Okay, And it's where

1072
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 2: everyone essentially dresses up in Santa and goes bar hopping

1073
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:35,720
Speaker 2: and gets hammered.

1074
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 1: Run into these groups before. And so here's the interesting thing,

1075
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 1: Connor about this.

1076
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 2: They took this, this widely known to be kind of

1077
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 2: a debaucherous event, Santa con and made it Santa Summit

1078
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 2: and stripped away anything that would be kind of lecherous

1079
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 2: or out of bounds, even to the point where they

1080
00:49:56,680 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 2: never use the word beer once. They refer to let's

1081
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 2: drink cider and hot chocolate. And my god, Connor, the drinks,

1082
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 2: the symbolk nature of the drinks in this, let's get

1083
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 2: into that.

1084
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 9: Like I mean, at every single place they have like

1085
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 9: a cookie platter and then like a massive cup of

1086
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:21,280
Speaker 9: like apple juice with like chocolate and cinnamon just poured

1087
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:24,399
Speaker 9: into it, and like each each entree must have had

1088
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 9: like fifty eight grams of sugar in like enough to

1089
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 9: fill like a ducking donuts cup.

1090
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:29,799
Speaker 3: So everyone has diabetes.

1091
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 10: Yeah, but that's the thing.

1092
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 9: It's like it's it's just it's what you need sometimes,

1093
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 9: you know, Like I want to do that, Like so

1094
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:41,799
Speaker 9: just a little diabetes.

1095
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:44,920
Speaker 1: Having only seen the you know, the trailer, which was

1096
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:49,400
Speaker 1: I like the gleam in the post by the way

1097
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 1: that I know that kind of screened to me. It's

1098
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 1: just great to be an adult if you're white. It's

1099
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 1: great to be a white person. That what the film.

1100
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:58,280
Speaker 1: That's not what the movie's about.

1101
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 2: In fact, there's an a woman who's like a best

1102
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 2: friend who learns the value of Christmas. There's another man

1103
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 2: of unknorn, unknown European ancestry that turns out to be

1104
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:08,879
Speaker 2: a love interest as well.

1105
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 1: So it's really it's all over the map.

1106
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 2: Okay, well yeah, and you once again what the cynics

1107
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:14,799
Speaker 2: connor all around?

1108
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,319
Speaker 5: I mean, wow, I'm surprised Mark took it there. But

1109
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 5: he just doesn't know. The Hallmark channel doesn't see race,

1110
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:21,799
Speaker 5: you know, not at all.

1111
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:23,280
Speaker 1: That person.

1112
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 9: You know, everybody was wearing sand of beards, so they

1113
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 9: fell in love with who was on the inside before

1114
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,799
Speaker 9: you got to see them underneath the underneath the Santa Beard.

1115
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 5: It's like love is blind without without trying to become famous.

1116
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 1: I like that.

1117
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 2: Yes, And so the final first of all, how many

1118
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 2: Hallmark cards would you give it?

1119
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:43,760
Speaker 1: Out of ten? Uh?

1120
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:45,919
Speaker 10: This was solid, Like I would say a seven point five.

1121
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 1: It was really good, all right, And that's.

1122
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 9: My wife's favorite of the season too, wow.

1123
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 2: And oh really And in one sentence summary for people

1124
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:58,880
Speaker 2: that still aren't sold, I would.

1125
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 9: Just say, like all Hallmark movies are kind of you

1126
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,360
Speaker 9: could summarize in the same way that Christmas is awesome

1127
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 9: and it's going to change your life and so and

1128
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 9: you know it's going to happen this year. This is

1129
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,399
Speaker 9: the year that Christmas is going to change your life.

1130
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 4: Connor, have you ever seen Cross Country Christmas? That is

1131
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 4: also a Hallmark classic. I tried to watch the movie

1132
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 4: that you guys are talking about last night, wasn't available,

1133
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 4: so I just turned on the Hallmark channel.

1134
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 3: I started thirteen minutes in Rachel Lee Cook. Isn't it

1135
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 3: for anyone?

1136
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:35,839
Speaker 1: Who is good for her?

1137
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:39,280
Speaker 3: A fan of She's all that she was?

1138
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 4: Yes, played the classic role of the nerd who's that?

1139
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,839
Speaker 4: Yeah exactly, Then like the the hot guy comes in

1140
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 4: and shows her how pretty she actually is by taking

1141
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 4: off her glasses.

1142
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 3: So yeah.

1143
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:56,320
Speaker 4: In this one Patriarchy, it's.

1144
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,240
Speaker 3: Two friends from high school. They grew up together.

1145
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 4: They meet on a it's like trains, planes and Automobiles

1146
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 4: and then I only watched for ten minutes before I

1147
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 4: had to turn it off.

1148
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 3: But it seemed like a really nice movie.

1149
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 2: Your husband, when we got together on Friday, he said,

1150
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:12,319
Speaker 2: there's no way she's gonna watch what she said she's

1151
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,480
Speaker 2: gonna watch. I said no, she said she would watch

1152
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:16,800
Speaker 2: it right, And you said she doesn't have the ability

1153
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 2: to stay focused and watch the whole thing.

1154
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 1: And I must say, your husband knows you well.

1155
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:24,439
Speaker 4: I tried multiple times with your login yes to get

1156
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 4: multiple movies.

1157
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 1: This is how login hall marked in. This is how

1158
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 1: important the project is for me.

1159
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 2: I got a trial of some app that I've never

1160
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 2: heard of to access the films that Connor's talking about.

Speaker 9: terrible job of explaining why this movie wait.

1173
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:12,439
Speaker 1: Mark wanted to say one thing, it's a cultural thing

1174
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 1: about ads in general. Whenever they have there's all these

1175
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 1: ads where like someone's at a call center and it's

1176
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:19,359
Speaker 1: always like a nine and a half out of ten,

1177
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 1: like answering the phone. It's like I actually worked in

1178
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:23,839
Speaker 1: a call center one time, and it's like these are

1179
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 1: law typically lost individuals. They're not the hottest people that

1180
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:28,759
Speaker 1: you'd see on the street if you're you work in

1181
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 1: a call center. It was like a striking individual.

1182
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 2: This is the again, this is a heightened reality.

1183
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 1: Mark, all right, this is the place where the call center.

1184
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 1: That's just my initial for the outliers that.

1185
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 2: We got a bunch of mister Potters and Ebony's or

1186
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:46,120

1188
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Connor, I I mean I hope so they do.

1189
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:58,439
Speaker 9: This guy, it really helped this guy, and so the guys,

1190
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:02,799
Speaker 9: the guys, the guys is dead right, wants to.

1191
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 10: Uh yeah, Mark, so maybe you should apologize.

1192
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:09,400
Speaker 9: But he he's he's learning to make a turkey for

1193
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:13,759
Speaker 9: his daughter, and so he calls the Turkey hotline and

00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 9: falls in love with the woman who's helping him to

1195
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:19,719
Speaker 9: prepare the turkey right.

1196
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 1: As Mark said, is a stone cold fox. Simultaneous simultaneously

1197
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:27,120
Speaker 1: that's good.

1198
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:31,239

1200
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 9: everybody the same person.

1201
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:44,759
Speaker 5: Yes, amazing, amazing this one. I'm gonna give it a

1202
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 5: nine based on the log time.

1203
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 1: I like it. I like it. And what did you learn?

1204
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 1: What did you learn from this one? Connor? In terms

1205
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:55,360
Speaker 1: of the holiday season and the idea of joy?

1206
00:55:56,200 --> 00:56:00,040
Speaker 9: Oh my gosh, I mean just just everything, like like

1207
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 9: like love is right around the corner constantly, and maybe

1208
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:10,759
Speaker 9: maybe you're just down on your luck. And then this

1209
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:15,799
Speaker 9: beautiful chef arrives from England and wants to, uh, you know,

1210
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 9: fill the void left in your life by a dead spouse.

1211
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:20,840
Speaker 1: And we have a lot of UK listeners.

1212
00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:23,840
Speaker 2: There's a scene in this where they're at a Christmas

1213
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:27,040
Speaker 2: They're at like some type of shop and he says,

1214
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:30,720
Speaker 2: I'm gonna let everybody know who you are. I'm British, honey,

1215
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 2: I don't like to be the center of attention. And

1216
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:34,720
Speaker 2: I was like, I didn't know that about British people.

1217
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:36,640
Speaker 2: I guess I learned something there.

1218
00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:42,439
Speaker 1: They do celebrate Christmas in Europe. That's true. Oh my god, great,

1219
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:44,760
Speaker 1: I have a question because like I like everyone that says,

1220
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:48,319
Speaker 1: you know, what was that? That was your sponse there? Well, no,

1221
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:51,359
Speaker 1: that's like that's true. But like they so when we

1222
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:54,160
Speaker 1: act like everyone's like, oh, my favorite Christmas movie is

1223
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 1: die Hard, which just annoys me. But like, truly, if

1224
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 1: you looked at Christmas movies, the full span like eyeswad

1225
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:03,320
Speaker 1: shut would be mine. It is littered with Christmas symbol

1226
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 1: symbolism and Christmas lights actually throughout scenes. That's got an

1227
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:09,960
Speaker 1: edge factor of you know, a nine out of ten? Right,

1228
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:13,400
Speaker 1: what would be the edge factor of this Hallmark offering

1229
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 1: that you're because it sounds spicy?

1230
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 9: I mean I I would honestly give this a nine

1231
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:21,439
Speaker 9: out of ten again, because you're in suspense the whole time.

1232
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 9: And how is he gonna find out? Because here's the thing.

1233
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 9: The woman is British but she uses an American accent

1234
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 9: on the Turkey hotline. How is he gonna feel when

1235
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 9: he finds out? Is he gonna feel tricked? Is he

1236
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 9: gonna feel happy?

1237
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:40,000
Speaker 1: You know?

1238
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 9: And and there's this whole drama where she's worried that

1239
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 9: he's actually in love with the woman on the phone

1240
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 9: and not her and so but that the same person.

1241
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 2: So it's and why was she hiding her British accent switching?

1242
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 2: Fair question? Why was she code switching?

1243
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 1: She was?

1244
00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 9: I think she was just tired of the grind, Like

1245
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 9: she came to America for a fresh start, and she

1246
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 9: wanted to Uh, she wanted to experience the greatest country

1247
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 9: on earth.

1248
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 1: Unbelievable.

1249
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 3: Well, Christmas is your drug? Connor? And man are you?

1250
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:19,240

Speaker 1: Let's talk about it.

1260
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:41,320

1278
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 1: you got? Mark? What you got? What's Stanley Kubrick film

1279
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:45,040
Speaker 1: supersedes that he is a wonderful person and I like

1280
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 1: he changed the way I feel about the holiday season.

1281
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:48,440
Speaker 3: My heart is warm.

1282
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 1: You're the best.

1283
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 10: That's what I'm here for.

1284
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:52,480
Speaker 2: Love you, Connor, Hey, do you have a fearless prediction

1285
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 2: for the last three weeks of the regular season.

1286
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 6: Oh wow, fearless prediction or a hallmark.

1287
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 9: I think that the Rams will go two rounds in

1288
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:08,480
Speaker 9: the playoffs.

1289
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:10,959
Speaker 1: I like that. You like that. That's pretty great.

1290
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 2: I like it a lot. Connor, You're the best, buddy.

1291
01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 2: Merry Christmas.

1292
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 3: Go take another hit of Christmas, buddy.

1293
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 1: All day.

1294
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 2: Great appearance, maybe the best or holiday special appearance yet.

1295
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:27,440
Speaker 1: At least right.

1296
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:29,520
Speaker 2: I really liked what he's getting out there, dialed in

1297
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:32,240
Speaker 2: because I'm watching it with the wife on Saturday, and

1298
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:34,919
Speaker 2: I'm saying, this is so ridiculous.

1299
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 1: It's so sweet. It's just over the top. But he's right.

1300
01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:43,440
Speaker 2: That counteracts the Jason Bateman programming that everyone else is

1301
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:45,440
Speaker 2: hard lining into their system all the time.

1302
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna lie, So I wasn't happy watching it.

1303
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:51,200
Speaker 3: I'm like, this is so dumb, this is stupid.

1304
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 1: Whatever.

1305
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 4: And then I go into the kitchen to grab something

1306
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:56,880
Speaker 4: and I'm still watching from the kitchen just to see

1307
01:00:56,880 --> 01:00:57,920
Speaker 4: what happens next.

1308
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 2: M All right, before we go, we have one more

1309
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:03,920
Speaker 2: bit of business to hit Week sixteen.

1310
01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:05,480
Speaker 1: Let's do a preview speed round.

1311
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 2: How much time do we put on the clock.

1312
01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:08,920
Speaker 1: I think it was three minutes last week?

1313
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:12,560
Speaker 2: All right, three minutes starting with Thursday Night Football, which Colleen,

1314
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:14,760
Speaker 2: this is a good one too. You are the anchor,

1315
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 2: of course, of the coverage for NFL Network, So why

1316
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:19,200
Speaker 2: don't you tee us up on this one?

1317
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:19,479
Speaker 3: Okay?

1318
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 4: A lot of playoff implications in this one. Saints Rams,

1319
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:25,520
Speaker 4: they both have seven to seven records, Rams holding on

1320
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:26,920
Speaker 4: for the final wildcard spot.

1321
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:29,120
Speaker 3: They are in the seventh seed right now. The Saints,

1322
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 3: they're trying to win the division. They're tied with the Bucks.

1323
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 4: They're obviously still in the wildcard mix as well. I'm

1324
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:38,920
Speaker 4: wondering if Chris a Lave is going to be available

1325
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 4: this Week's like it?

1326
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:41,360
Speaker 3: Yes, Derek Carr, he had.

1327
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 4: One of his best games last week against Tommy Devido

1328
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 4: and the Giants. He had three touchdowns without Chris a

1329
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:52,200
Speaker 4: Lava and Ryan Ramcheck and their past defense was really

1330
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:52,800
Speaker 4: really good.

1331
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:55,640
Speaker 1: Eric waiting to know when to start.

1332
01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:56,680
Speaker 3: Oh, we're doing.

1333
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 1: There we go. That was for you, Eric, because I

1334
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:04,200
Speaker 1: could tell Eric back there. It's like spent pouring down.

1335
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:05,440
Speaker 1: Want to start at.

1336
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 2: She doesn't take a breast, It's insane. She's downloading in field.

1337
01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:11,480
Speaker 2: She has a lot of research here. I'm looking right

1338
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 2: at it all right, keep going he's actually British, by

1339
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:14,160
Speaker 2: the did.

1340
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:15,120
Speaker 1: Anyone prepare for the show?

1341
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:18,560
Speaker 4: I did right here Sono passing yo at three sacks

1342
01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 4: for him against the Giants, and Tommy DeVito do Mario

1343
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 4: Lotta has got it done. Stellato in a big spot.

1344
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:27,480
Speaker 4: I got a lot of questions about Stilado. Obviously, the

1345
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:30,680
Speaker 4: Rams too, they have the pieces to outscore the Saints.

1346
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,840
Speaker 4: Puka and Akua has been unbelievable this year, but now

1347
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:38,160
Speaker 4: everyone is healthy, Stafford, Cooper, Cup, Kyen Williams and Puka.

1348
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 3: With all of them, they're kind of like a little

1349
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:41,960
Speaker 3: bit of a superpower. So I think they definitely have

1350
01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:43,360
Speaker 3: the pieces to outscore the Saints.

1351
01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 2: Here, this is greg This is a good segue from

1352
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 2: Connor just now saying they're gonna win what at least

1353
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 2: one playoff game round too.

1354
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:53,360
Speaker 5: Multiple you had something about the Rams, didn't you, and

1355
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 5: your predictions make it.

1356
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:57,040
Speaker 1: They have to win this game, though, Yeah, are we?

1357
01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 2: Because I don't want us to fall into the trap

1358
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:00,680
Speaker 2: that we've been falling into all season and these five

1359
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,040
Speaker 2: hundred teams that get a little hot. But in the

1360
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 2: same time, Gregy, this the Rams have been kind of

1361
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 2: consistent in a lot of ways different than these other

1362
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:08,520
Speaker 2: five hundred teams.

1363
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:11,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, the defense isn't going to be great and so

1364
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:14,160
Speaker 5: the games are going to be close. They're playing hard,

1365
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:16,960
Speaker 5: but the offense has been a top ten offense all

1366
01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:20,240
Speaker 5: year and now they're healthy and they're leaning towards top five.

1367
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:22,440
Speaker 5: But to do all this, they have to win this game.

1368
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:26,720
Speaker 5: The playoff leverage, which is what the analytics guys like

1369
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 5: to say, is outrageous. In this game, the Rams are

1370
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:31,240
Speaker 5: like two thirds likely to make the playoffs if they win,

1371
01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:35,360
Speaker 5: seven percent if they lose. Like, the route to making

1372
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:37,520
Speaker 5: the playoffs is pretty low if they don't win this game.

1373
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:40,800
Speaker 5: To me, it's a beautiful rematch, maybe a revenge game

1374
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:43,840
Speaker 5: of the NFC Championship game. And you think, oh, everyone's different.

1375
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:46,959
Speaker 5: Sean McVay is not different. He's changed his offense three

1376
01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:50,160
Speaker 5: times since then. Dennis Allen's not different. He hasn't really

1377
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:52,000
Speaker 5: changed his defense at all. And a lot of those

1378
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 5: same players are there. And I love the way Sean

1379
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:56,720
Speaker 5: McVay has updated it, and I think they're going to

1380
01:03:56,760 --> 01:03:58,200
Speaker 5: be able to run the ball and they better because

1381
01:03:58,200 --> 01:03:59,840
Speaker 5: I'm going with the family, this.

1382
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:03,040
Speaker 1: Is oh yeah, that's right, this is your Christmas.

1383
01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:04,840
Speaker 5: This might be at the game with the family, right,

1384
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:06,640
Speaker 5: Roger Goodell is father Christmas.

1385
01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:07,960
Speaker 1: To me, that is exciting to tell you.

1386
01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:10,760
Speaker 4: But you're picking the family like the Ramilly You're going

1387
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:11,360
Speaker 4: with the family.

1388
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 5: Well I'm picking them too, fair, But all right, you

1389
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:16,160
Speaker 5: better win just to make us happy.

1390
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:16,400
Speaker 1: All right.

1391
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:19,960
Speaker 2: The Saturday game Bengals Steelers.

1392
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 1: I got ane of that.

1393
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 2: Preview, Scott Free, I got you on this one. Here

1394
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:26,760
Speaker 2: we go Bengals at Steelers. This is a game I

1395
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:28,960
Speaker 2: said in my Fearless prediction, I think the Steelers are

1396
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:30,840
Speaker 2: done winning. I think there are seven to ten outfit

1397
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:34,040
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of drama. That said, if Mark

1398
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:38,640
Speaker 2: there was a last ditch effort here from Pittsburgh to

1399
01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:40,720
Speaker 2: kind of pull it together, it would probably be in

1400
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 2: this spot at home against a division rival, knowing your

1401
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:46,520
Speaker 2: season in a lot of ways is on the line.

1402
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:48,720
Speaker 2: If Mike Tomlin doesn't have the team ready to play

1403
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 2: in this game, they are way worse off than we

1404
01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:55,280
Speaker 2: even realize. So it's the Jake Browning magic work without

1405
01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:57,360
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase in Pittsburgh.

1406
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,560
Speaker 1: Hm, I feel like a couple of weeks ago we'd

1407
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 1: say that have this like quarterback problem, but they've got

1408
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:05,120
Speaker 1: a quarterback solution and it's changed the way we think

1409
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:07,800
Speaker 1: about Zach Taylor and the entire team. And they're kind

1410
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:10,600
Speaker 1: of humming. I know you know, Jamar Chase, that's an

1411
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:13,000
Speaker 1: issue health wise, but the Steelers of the team with

1412
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:15,040
Speaker 1: the quarterback problem, and then like this stuff coming out

1413
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:16,840
Speaker 1: with like for years it was like, oh, no matter what,

1414
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:20,080
Speaker 1: the Steelers like draft and develop wide receivers better than everyone.

1415
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:22,600
Speaker 1: Then you've got George Pickens, like the replay of him

1416
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:24,680
Speaker 1: sort of just standing around like I would in the

1417
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:27,360
Speaker 1: middle of like a breakroom at work when someone's trying

1418
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 1: to forge in for a touchdown. He's doing literally nothing.

1419
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:34,320
Speaker 1: It's like the Steelers the first time this is this

1420
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:36,240
Speaker 1: is a weird Steelers team to me, where I think

1421
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:39,000
Speaker 1: the vibe is just very negative and I kind of

1422
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:40,720
Speaker 1: want them out of my life. And the Bengals to

1423
01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:43,320
Speaker 1: me are like the AFC's Rams, where it's like I

1424
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:46,040
Speaker 1: thought all was lost and here they come, and they

1425
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:47,560
Speaker 1: feel like a team to me because one of my

1426
01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:49,120
Speaker 1: other feelest predictions with them i thought it was a

1427
01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:51,200
Speaker 1: playoff bound, was that I think they could win two

1428
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 1: playoff games. They to me feel with Jake Browning not

1429
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:57,400
Speaker 1: that different than the Joe Burrow Bengals, and I find

1430
01:05:57,440 --> 01:06:00,760
Speaker 1: them watchable. I'm a historically a Brown fan, and I

1431
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:03,320
Speaker 1: feel connected to the Bengals, so I don't know what's happening.

1432
01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 3: I loved Jake Browning.

1433
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:08,120
Speaker 1: I'm a book historically. No, I'm saying like, it's like

1434
01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:10,400
Speaker 1: you would like be you'd be aligned to think like

1435
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:12,360
Speaker 1: I want bad things to happen in the Bengals, and

1436
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:14,800
Speaker 1: I feel differently about this team. I kind of find

1437
01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:16,280
Speaker 1: them fascinating and watchable.

1438
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:18,280
Speaker 3: I think Jake Browning is low key funny.

1439
01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:21,360
Speaker 4: Like when he was interviewed afterwards on the field, they

1440
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:24,000
Speaker 4: asked him just like I think it was just a

1441
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:25,840
Speaker 4: good generic like how do you feel right now? Whatever,

1442
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:28,840
Speaker 4: and he was like, I honestly don't even remember what happened.

1443
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:32,439
Speaker 3: I'm so tired. And I was like, that's the most

1444
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:33,200
Speaker 3: relatable quote.

1445
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:36,600
Speaker 2: I've heard quarterbacks get tired. I'm sure they do. That's

1446
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 2: it is a high physical and mental toll.

1447
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 5: He also had you know, some spicy you know video takes,

1448
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:46,960
Speaker 5: yelling at the camera the team camera like oh.

1449
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:49,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, bet, you're glad you cut me now.

1450
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 5: Vikings and I do worry in terms of them like

1451
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:55,560
Speaker 5: making the plants or winning PLANF games. Their defense hasn't

1452
01:06:55,600 --> 01:06:58,520
Speaker 5: really looked any better lately in particular, and then they.

1453
01:06:58,440 --> 01:06:59,520
Speaker 1: Lose DJ Reader.

1454
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:03,760
Speaker 5: This is a matchup though, that they lost with Jake

1455
01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 5: Browning just three weeks ago sixteen to ten, sort of

1456
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:10,640
Speaker 5: since this transformation happened. And I like watch the Steelers defense.

1457
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:13,520
Speaker 5: They're so disorganized. They're getting out coached every week. I mean,

1458
01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:16,200
Speaker 5: Shane Stike and made them look terrible. Their back seven

1459
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:19,800
Speaker 5: on defense is so bad. Uh, and their offensive line

1460
01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 5: hasn't looked great lately either. So I do think the

1461
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:24,480
Speaker 5: Bengals can get after them, and they're just slow. The

1462
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:27,240
Speaker 5: Steelers Chase brown I feel like that's a nice little

1463
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:31,360
Speaker 5: deep fantasy sleeper for this week. He's so fast versus

1464
01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:33,480
Speaker 5: this slow ass defense. I think they get it done.

1465
01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:36,320
Speaker 1: Do we have that Jake Browning sound?

1466
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:41,720
Speaker 2: Well, I hear that Browning looking scrambling to the right,

1467
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:43,600
Speaker 2: Browning towing down field.

1468
01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:48,160
Speaker 1: It is pot the Bengals get burnt on third.

1469
01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:50,200
Speaker 6: Down and nine at the staff the place, but the

1470
01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:51,360
Speaker 6: right footed get right.

1471
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:52,360
Speaker 4: It is.

1472
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:55,720
Speaker 11: I think after we made the field goal to win

1473
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:57,680
Speaker 11: the game, I screamed at a camera and said they

1474
01:07:57,680 --> 01:07:58,440
Speaker 11: never should have cut me.

1475
01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:01,240
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

1476
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:05,680
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean you can't say that I love him,

1477
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 11: you kind of you just wait until you win and

1478
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:10,840
Speaker 11: then don't look like an idiot.

1479
01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:14,880
Speaker 1: Beer. Oh my god, I love that guy. That is

1480
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:18,040
Speaker 1: Bengals Twitter from the Jungle. The second part of my

1481
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 1: fearless prediction was that Jake Browning would morph into free

1482
01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:27,040
Speaker 1: agencies number one signing. He will become someone else's starter.

1483
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 1: Will that be a mistake, We'll see, but that like

1484
01:08:29,240 --> 01:08:32,000
Speaker 1: he will become the off season story and someone will

1485
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:35,479
Speaker 1: make them anoint him like the number one, like highest

1486
01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:39,160
Speaker 1: biggest story free agent signing. Is he a free agent? Yes?

1487
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:43,800
Speaker 1: I looked it up before the show because I can't

1488
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:45,519
Speaker 1: say that if he's under contract for two years. But

1489
01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:47,080
Speaker 1: he's not under contract. He is not.

1490
01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:49,200
Speaker 5: He is an exclusive rights free agent, so it will

1491
01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:51,520
Speaker 5: be locked up for another couple of years with the Bengals.

1492
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:56,400
Speaker 1: Well, we'll see what happens, all right. Finally, Greg, No,

1493
01:08:56,560 --> 01:08:59,679
Speaker 1: that's okay, that's still very possible.

1494
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:02,360
Speaker 2: We need did that that it could happen. I'm just

1495
01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:06,559
Speaker 2: saying they could have cut him, and then I mean

1496
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:08,840
Speaker 2: it could probably aren't going to cut him. That seemed

1497
01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:10,400
Speaker 2: very foolhardy.

1498
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:12,439
Speaker 1: To cut him. He may be better than Joe Burrow.

1499
01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:15,960
Speaker 1: We don't know that would be a big story too. Well, Greg,

1500
01:09:16,200 --> 01:09:17,799
Speaker 1: the second Saturday game.

1501
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:20,320
Speaker 5: I mean Chargers Bills, let's start the clock right away.

1502
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:22,120
Speaker 5: This is the one which should just have more time

1503
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 5: on Rams Saints. That's like the big that's like an

1504
01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:27,280
Speaker 5: early playoff game. This is just Saturday night.

1505
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:29,080
Speaker 2: Sounds like somebody wants to be on the Thursday Night

1506
01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:31,160
Speaker 2: Show with Mark and I. Right, come on on, buddy, No,

1507
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:34,679
Speaker 2: I'll be cut us. I'll be stuck in traffic. Sorry, honey,

1508
01:09:34,720 --> 01:09:36,639
Speaker 2: I gotta go. We're taping the Thursday Night Show.

1509
01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:39,240
Speaker 5: I hope Bill's fans show up the bus and make

1510
01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:42,280
Speaker 5: this an atmosphere. Eleven and a half points is how

1511
01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:45,080
Speaker 5: much they're favored by. That doesn't feel like enough, does it.

1512
01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:47,760
Speaker 5: This run heavy team, and I know you get the

1513
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:50,760
Speaker 5: like dead coach bounce and everything, but James Cook is

1514
01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:52,479
Speaker 5: now one of the best running backs in the league,

1515
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:55,880
Speaker 5: which I apologize to Sean McDermott for getting on him

1516
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:58,240
Speaker 5: for changing offensive cordators, because what they've done with Joe

1517
01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:01,120
Speaker 5: Brady has been different. These momultiple tight ends, they're kind

1518
01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:04,040
Speaker 5: of using fullbacks the two running backs at the same time,

1519
01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:06,360
Speaker 5: just varying it up, and they're really good at it

1520
01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:10,080
Speaker 5: and matching that up versus this Chargers defense. Do I

1521
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:13,720
Speaker 5: think maybe will want to account well for themselves after

1522
01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:16,519
Speaker 5: a totally embarrassing Thursday night and they have extress, so

1523
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:18,240
Speaker 5: maybe they play a little bit better.

1524
01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:19,599
Speaker 1: But who are we kidding?

1525
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:22,360
Speaker 5: East and Stick versus Sean McDermott, who's been cooking up

1526
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:25,479
Speaker 5: some great schemes and Ed Oliver has been playing really

1527
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 5: great up front. Eleven and a half does not feel

1528
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:32,320
Speaker 5: like enough. This feels like a Saturday night Bill's party.

1529
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:36,519
Speaker 2: Get me no, I don't want to do that, Okay, James.

1530
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:39,040
Speaker 2: I was going to say it's Hyperbolee Greg about James Cook,

1531
01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:40,720
Speaker 2: but look at I mean, week to week he has

1532
01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:42,759
Speaker 2: been as good as any running back in the league lately,

1533
01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:43,479
Speaker 2: all around.

1534
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:47,720
Speaker 5: I mean in terms of like yards over you'll expect it,

1535
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:51,000
Speaker 5: like the total performance just by the numbers. I think

1536
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:52,800
Speaker 5: he had the number one I think it was on

1537
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:55,479
Speaker 5: Football Outsiders or Aaron Shott where they're at, was the

1538
01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:58,360
Speaker 5: number one running back performance of the year against the drops.

1539
01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:01,679
Speaker 4: The drops too, I'll.

1540
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:04,840
Speaker 5: That drop when if he's running like these crazy angle they're.

1541
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:06,639
Speaker 1: Having him do like wide receiver at.

1542
01:11:06,920 --> 01:11:09,840
Speaker 2: The touchdown catch he had like kind of backhanded, was

1543
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:11,960
Speaker 2: a sneaky, hard catch.

1544
01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:14,200
Speaker 6: And he did drop another touchdown. To be fair, that's

1545
01:11:14,240 --> 01:11:14,680
Speaker 6: to be fair.

1546
01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:18,720
Speaker 1: Their often in past year. I say it's a huge

1547
01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:21,559
Speaker 1: add to them. What was that that offense didn't have

1548
01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:24,120
Speaker 1: like the running back. And I think Latavius Murray's actually

1549
01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:25,840
Speaker 1: been pretty good too, like kind of under the radar,

1550
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:28,200
Speaker 1: just like he's helped in and like they've got balance

1551
01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:30,519
Speaker 1: on offense where they didn't have a running game before.

1552
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:34,680
Speaker 2: Do you know that in England? Would they pointed out

1553
01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:35,920
Speaker 2: that they celebrate Christmas?

1554
01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:38,320
Speaker 1: I was suggesting that's probably the fact, did you know?

1555
01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:38,920
Speaker 1: It certainly is.

1556
01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:42,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're in a lot of ways descendants of you know, England.

1557
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:43,840
Speaker 1: We didn't invoke well.

1558
01:11:44,479 --> 01:11:49,920
Speaker 2: So I will say that they say Happy Christmas, Happy Christmas.

1559
01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:53,880
Speaker 1: That's on them. Just throw it out there. It feels

1560
01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:56,680
Speaker 1: lesser than Mary. I feel like we got the edge

1561
01:11:56,680 --> 01:12:02,000
Speaker 1: on that one. Mary. It's happy with you. Come at us, Mary, Mary,

1562
01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:07,120
Speaker 1: what's the reasoning? Mary? By the way, the Charge got married.

1563
01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:09,880
Speaker 5: The Chargers have been but their their owner it spoke

1564
01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:12,479
Speaker 5: this week and said like everyone's been calling us cheap.

1565
01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:13,400
Speaker 1: We're not going to be cheap.

1566
01:12:13,439 --> 01:12:16,880
Speaker 5: There is no uh, there's no you know, boundaries to

1567
01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:18,000
Speaker 5: what we're willing to compege.

1568
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:20,000
Speaker 1: It almost felt like we would go after a Bill Belch.

1569
01:12:20,040 --> 01:12:21,679
Speaker 5: I don't know what the point of that was exactly,

1570
01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:24,240
Speaker 5: because they was hearing a lot of change.

1571
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:27,280
Speaker 1: And every conversation's like, obviously not the Chargers. Belichick would

1572
01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:29,080
Speaker 1: never go there. They couldn't afford them, they won't deal.

1573
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:31,360
Speaker 1: It's like they're probably trying to say, stop the narrative,

1574
01:12:31,439 --> 01:12:33,200
Speaker 1: like you could bring him here. Also, it would be

1575
01:12:33,240 --> 01:12:34,439
Speaker 1: a good interesting marriage. You know.

1576
01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:37,599
Speaker 5: There's like thirty teams, thirty one teams that basically own

1577
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:40,720
Speaker 5: their stadium, and there's one that like rents.

1578
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:42,160
Speaker 3: It so that pays one dollar for it.

1579
01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:44,920
Speaker 2: I don't it just seemed like in such a weird

1580
01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:49,960
Speaker 2: place as an organization. All right, it's just kind of sad.

1581
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:50,400
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1582
01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:58,000
Speaker 2: Good app Hey, Connie, you've said it all, thank you,

1583

01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:04,559
Speaker 2: dog and you said Christmas is canceled. Yeah, Christmas come back.

1585
01:13:05,240 --> 01:13:06,479
Speaker 2: You got a tree up at the house.

1586
01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:10,040
Speaker 3: We don't have any decorations up I know.

1587
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:14,759
Speaker 6: The first part of a Hallmark Christmas movie.

1588
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:17,360
Speaker 3: You know what, You're right, because I usually have the.

1589
01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:23,200
Speaker 2: House Amazon truck guy comes yea, and what that complicates, Yes,

1590
01:13:23,240 --> 01:13:24,680
Speaker 2: the dog happens.

1591
01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:29,320
Speaker 5: The previous Christmas there was the dog bite. Maybe maybe

1592
01:13:29,320 --> 01:13:32,960
Speaker 5: a dog is involved. A dog shows up and warms

1593
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:33,439
Speaker 5: your heart.

1594
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:36,519
Speaker 2: If you just ruined John's present for Colleen, that's gonna

1595
01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:36,800
Speaker 2: be bad.

1596
01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:37,120
Speaker 1: Greg.

1597
01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:38,920
Speaker 3: Maybe I do need to get John a.

1598
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:42,479
Speaker 4: Puppy there we go or or you know, and we're

01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:44,479
Speaker 4: not doing we're not doing gifts either this year.

1600
01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:47,040
Speaker 3: So there's no gifts, there's no decorations. I've sort of

1601
01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:47,640

Speaker 1: Yeah, all dogs do go to heaven, they.

Speaker 3: to Christmas music for like five minutes yesterday.

1607
01:14:00,240 --> 01:14:03,919
Speaker 2: I picked up my beloved Captain one year ago this weekend,

1608
01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:08,840
Speaker 2: so you can and we have actually have great resources

1609
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:12,000
Speaker 2: that we learned during that process. You do want to

1610
01:14:12,040 --> 01:14:12,519
Speaker 2: do that.

1611
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:17,759

01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:04,080
Speaker 1: Right, this has nothing to do with it.

1626
01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:07,479
Speaker 5: Also at this point, I challenge any podcasts out there.

1655
01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:18,920
Speaker 5: God bless football cannot win.

1656
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:20,920
Speaker 2: You know who's on that? That guy, Stu Gootts guy

1657
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:23,400
Speaker 2: is on it. We have a little score to settle

1658
01:16:23,439 --> 01:16:25,759
Speaker 2: with that guy. Well, let's let them understand.

1659
01:16:25,960 --> 01:16:27,960
Speaker 3: That's the one the year I was hosting it.

1660
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:28,960
Speaker 1: Well, isn't that nice?

1661
01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:33,599
Speaker 2: Weber had to say, Oh, yeah, this is a little

1662
01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:35,360
Speaker 2: chance for revenge.

1663
01:16:35,360 --> 01:16:37,719
Speaker 1: He made it Sessler. I mean, how about that guy?

1664
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:41,480
Speaker 1: Who is that guy? He's a top ten football insider.

1665
01:16:42,520 --> 01:16:44,400
Speaker 1: That's a chance for revenge, it is. I don't I

1666
01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:48,400
Speaker 1: don't feel like revenge oriented against Stu Gott's necessarily. I

1667
01:16:48,439 --> 01:16:50,720
Speaker 1: think it was like kind of a self reminder that,

1668
01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:53,360
Speaker 1: you know, other people in the industry have no idea exists.

1669
01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:55,839
Speaker 4: If you would like peace broker between the two sides,

1670
01:16:55,960 --> 01:16:57,400
Speaker 4: I will gladly step up.

1671
01:16:58,360 --> 01:16:59,479
Speaker 1: Where's that holiday music?

1672
01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:04,120
Speaker 3: Where's Connor? I need Christmas?

1673
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:06,360
Speaker 2: But there would be something full circle, I think it

1674
01:17:06,360 --> 01:17:06,680
Speaker 2: would be.

1675
01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:07,519
Speaker 1: It would be just like.

1676
01:17:07,479 --> 01:17:11,280
