79
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,080

80
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,400

Speaker 1: we get to the games, Letter Rip Georgie, the Friday

83
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: Show Chat and black Jack as a borderline religious experience

84
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: where I learned what picks to faith for my week

85
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: and my wife questions where she went wrong in marrying me.

86
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: Five stars. Wow religious experience and and it has someone

87
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: out there questioning their relationship choices. We've succeeded. Those are

88
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: the two things that black Jack sought to do when

89
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: he entered into this agreement to this podcast. I don't

90
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: know if I'm going to be able to sustain, and

91
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: I don't think you are either. Black Jack will be fine.

92
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: You're gonna do a spittake right now, you are gonna do.

93
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: There is gonna be Champagne coming to your nose, black Jack,

Speaker 1: to do. We should got a lot to do. Georgina

99
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: I just say before we get to that, I'd really

100
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: like people to keep reviewing the podcasts on Apple Podcasts

101
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: because it helped people discover the podcast. We have a

102
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: lot of listeners. We'd like millions. We are greedy. We

103
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: are greedy fuckers, and we have egos the size we

104
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: have egos the size of this champagne bottle. We need

105
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: to rock it up the charts. We need more five

106
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: star reviews. We need to be the A Stars Board

107
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: of podcasts. We need people to hear this podcast and

00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,520

Speaker 1: Skins by one and a half. Redskins, Let's go Yep, done, Georgias.

113
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: Detroit at Minnesota Vikings by four and a half. Vikings Stone,

114
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: Let's go yeah. Pittsburgh at Baltimore Ravens by three. All right,

115
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: First of all, let me just explain the Redskins in

116
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: the Vikings a little bit. The Redskins line is is insane.

117
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: That is inferring that the Falcons are the better team.

118
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: When you account for the home field advantage that Washington has,

119
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: the Falcons are not a better team than Washington on

120
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: any side of the ball, Right, now and the Redskins

121
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: add ha ha Clinton black Jack can't say that name

122
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: of that laugh. Um, the add him to their secondary.

123
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: There's there's no way the Atlanta Falcons are a better

124
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: team than Washington. None. Reds are cruising right now. I

125
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: think I said to Scooch the other day on the

126
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: Favorite podcast, Um he hung up. He hung a bad

127
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: line here. And I don't know if it's because of

128
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: the bye um that they're giving Atlanta a little bit

129
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: more UM credit. But right now, Atlanta, I'm looking at

130
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: the Action Network cap Atlanta is getting the money. Yeah

131
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: they are. I'm insane. It listened. The bye is great,

132
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: But is Dion Jones coming back? Is Kean or Neil

133
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: coming back? No? No? And every game you watch that

134
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 1: they're they're the walking wounded. I mean that team just

135
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: keeps losing guy after guy after guy. Dreadful. The Redskins

136
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: are rolling. Man. I don't know why of the bets

137
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: and money on the Falcons. That to me in the

138
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: case that like either the wise guys haven't played this

139
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: or the wise guys are waiting to see what happens.

140
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 1: I just don't believe you guys are coming in on

141
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: the Falcons. And you would know this even better than Blackjack.

142
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: Over the last year and a half, the supposed wise

143
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: guys have loved this Atlanta Falcons team. This is like

144
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: they're darling. They bet the Atlanta Falcons. Last year, Every

145
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: damn week it was the Falcons, the Falcons, the Falcons.

146
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: And it's been the same story this year, even with

147
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: the injuries and everything else. And it's like at some

148
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: point you have to watch what's happening on the field,

149
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: and the Falcons just don't have the manpower. I've never

150
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 1: been on the Falcons. I hate the Falcons. I've always

151
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: hated the Falcons. I think they're frauds. Agreed the vikings Um.

152
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: We did a story on Action Network yesterday that sort

153
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: of power rates the games based on our ratings, but

154
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: we had it at five five and a half black

155
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: black Jacks whatever black Jack works at the Action Network.

156
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: His thoughts are included. They're burping up the BuzAr Um,

157
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: so you're just getting value here, like I you know,

158
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: this was one of like four games where there was

159
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: the most Actually this game in that story on Action

160
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: network dot com or in the app download it now

161
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: free app, free app, free app um did I mention

162
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: it's free app it's free. Uh. This game had the

163
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: largest discrepancy between our rating and with the line that

164
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: was posted. This is entirely because of Adam thieland fumbling

165
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 1: the ball at the end of the first half. That's it.

166
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: That's what people are seeing. The Vikings go into a

167
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: skid after that, they get blown out. They potentially they

168
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 1: likely win that game. They're up sixteen. It's a different

169
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 1: ball game, whatever, whatever, whatever. I know you're giving me

170
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: a look, you're ready to pounce, but I'm telling you, www,

171
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: dot zip it. The point is, are we really doing

172
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: dr evil references in? The point is the Vikings are

173
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: the right side of this game, all right. We don't

174
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 1: like this Dealers in the Ravens and I kind of

175
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: like the Ravens in this game, but I don't. I'm

176
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: not messing with the Ravens. Not messing with the Ravens.

177
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: No Edgar Allen Poe fans here, huh No. Actually, Blackjack

178
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: did watch a little bit of The Pit and the

179
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: Pendulum last night. It was on television. Halloween. Happy Halloween. Everyone.

180
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: That's fucking gold as his black Jack shirt and his

181
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: picks in the NFL, which have been twelve two and

182
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: one over the last two weeks, and the chain hanging

183
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: all the way down, your very hairy chest, which is staring.

184
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: And this is what a man looks like. All right,

185
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: you have the body of a six year old girl,

186
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: which makes me uncomfortable being in the same room as you.

187
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: This is what a man's body looks like. I think

188
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: I'm fit and I treat myself right. You're eating a

189
00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: kiche at nine am. It's eggs, which are healthy. I

190
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: had an apple this morning. Next Kansas City at Cleveland

191
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: Chiefs by eight. Stay away, walk as fast as you can.

192
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: You don't know this game Kansas City. I mean, look,

193
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: everything in the world should tell you to take Kansas

194
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: City here, but you finally get the stink of Hugh

195
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: Jackson out of the building in Berea. Todd Haley is gone,

196
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 1: who every quarterback he's ever had has hated his existence.

197
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: You don't know. This could be a weird game where

198
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: Cleveland plays closer than they should. You stay away from

199
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: this game, run away. Isn't that weird anything? I'll say

200
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: if this line somehow Sunday morning gets the ten, I

201
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: take Cleveland at ten. Yeah, like I'm leaning towards Cleveland.

202
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 1: In this game, I actually feel like there's historically a

203
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: bounce in the game after you fire a coach, Like

204
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 1: there's oftentimes historically a bounce in the game after you

205
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: change a quarterback. Kansas City, but the Chiefs are just

206
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: too lit right now? Why did you just say too lit? Yeah?

207
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 1: How old are you old enough to know better? Like,

208
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: so that's a new okay? Uh? Georgina, New York Jensen

209
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins by three. Nope, Yeah, you don't know who's

210
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: playing quarterback for Miami hard Week. Could be Tannehill, could

211
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 1: be Oswiler. The Jets off a couple of stinkers here

212
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,599
Speaker 1: in a row. This game, this game stinks. As you

213
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: like to say, this is the corner TV game. It

214
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: is the corner TV game. Scooch and I both agreed

215
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: on that in the Wednesday podcast. Um, listen, don't forget

216
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: later on in the show, we have a very special guest,

217
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 1: someone who's gonna win an oscar for the movie of

218
00:13:54,000 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: Stars Born. Uh it was an awkward plug. Well that

219
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: everything in my life is smooth. Next Chicago at Buffalo

220
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: Bears by ten. So here's the thing. Nathan Peter Nathan Peterman.

221
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: As you know, I have named Nathan Peterman Nathan pick six?

222
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: Was that an original thought by you? No one else

223
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: came up with that, no one else, no one else

224
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: decided that's what they should name him. Okay, okay, all right,

225
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: So yeah it is. So what are you saying. I'm saying,

226
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: even though the Bills are ten point dogs at home

227
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: and like this should be an automatic take, I can't

228
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: do because I kind of don't trust the the You

229
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: can't bet the Bills. Also, though, the problem is the Bears.

230
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: You don't know if Khalil Mack is playing. They said

231
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: his status is essentially the same as last week, so

232
00:14:55,680 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: I assume that means he's out. And Trobiski, you're a

233
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: Bears fan, what's your read on Drobisky? I think, uh,

234
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: I think there have been times this season where the

235
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: Bears have lost games because they didn't trust Mitchell Robinsky

236
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: and that was a mistake because they've needed more yards

237
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: at times when he was playing well, and because they

238
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: didn't leave the ball in his hands, they lost. And

239
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: that worries me that they're looking at the end of

240
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: the game and thinking we just got to give it

241
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: to Jordan Howard instead of letting Drabinsky throw the ball

242
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: down the field one or two more times. That's number one.

243
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: Number two. I worry a lot about his deep balls,

244
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: like he is just wild ahead. He is just that's

245
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: black Jack's juvenile. He's just wildly inaccurate on his deep balls.

246
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: So I think that's a problem because like this game today,

247
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: the NFL today is about the back shoulder pass, and

248
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: it's about the deep ball. So do you have a

249
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: lean on this game? I'd probably lean the bills. I

250
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: would leave the other way. Well, then we're going to pass. Yeah,

251
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't bet Nathan Peterman. Well, that's why

252
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: I'm That's why I'm not going to bet it. And

253
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: his backup is Matt Barkley. I'm not going to bet

254
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: this game. There's nothing about it that appeals to me.

255
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: Although if we were like professionals, we wouldn't even be

256
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: having the conversation. If we were professionals, we'd be on

257
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: Cleveland Done. We'd be on no no, no, no, no

258
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: no no, you're not a professional. No no no no,

259
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: no listening to you, okay, because last week black Jack

260
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: had to sit here and listen to you say the

261
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: same crap about the Patriots laying fourteen, and you sat

262
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: here and said, oh, that's never what a professional would do.

263
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: That's ridiculous. You you have to take fourteen points, not

264
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: when the Buffalo Bills are in play. And that was

265
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: with Derrick Anderson, who is better than Nathan Peterman. Jason

266
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 1: Peterman is the worst quarterback on an NFL roster right now.

267
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: He might be the worst quarterback in a college roster

268
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 1: right now. He's awful. He might be the worst quarter

269
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: So no, I don't want to hear that it's the

270
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: sharp play to take the Bills because it's ten. Because

271
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: that's not sharp. Okay, that's sticking to a rigid system

272
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 1: with no flexibility. And that's not life, brother, Okay, that's

273
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: not life. Life is fluid. Okay, ten points with the

274
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills is nothing. Move on Pampa Bay at Carolina

275
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: Panthers by six. So black Jack, do you believe if

276
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 1: it's magic? Really do black Jack? Really? Does? Let black

277
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: Jack to you something? When Blackshack was watching that game

278
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: last week against Chad's favorite son, Andy Dalton, and Ryan

279
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick comes in that game after Jamis Winston had just

280
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: been god awful and he just takes him down the field.

281
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: Score score score, and then the two point conversion. You

282
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: want fitz magic there, it was there. It was a

283
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: little jump shovel past to stay out of trouble and

284
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: convert that play. Black Jack doesn't know how you don't

285
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: believe in it at this point. Having said that, black

286
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: Jack is also a fan of the Carolina Panthers, He's

287
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: a believer at this point in them. Black Jack lean's

288
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: Tampa in this at six Millman does not want to

289
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 1: have any piece of this game. Fair enough, black Jack

290
00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: doesn't love it. Charges at atle Seahawks by two. This

291
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: is a really hard game. This is a really really

292
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: hard agree. Agreed. We talk about flexibility, right. I love

293
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: the Chargers in this game. Black do love them, and

294
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: I can't figure out but I also love short home favorites.

295
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 1: You know what? The thing is that this game is

296
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,959
Speaker 1: that Blackjack was not a huge believer in the Chargers

297
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: when the season started because they tend to be frauds.

298
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: You're in and you're out. Uh, black Jack doesn't think

299
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: so could come. But um, if you look at the

300
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: charges to losses, I mean they're the chiefs in the rams.

301
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: I mean you're you're talking about arguably two of the

302
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: top three or four teams in the NFL. The Charges

303
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: have played really, really well. Now Seattle is a tough

304
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,479
Speaker 1: place to play, and I I get what you're uh,

305
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: compatriot Bob Scucci is saying when he says that this

306
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: is a game that the Seahawks pull out, because it

307
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: generally is. But there's just such a gap in talent

308
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 1: between these two teams at this point that black Jack

309
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: has a really hard time not taking the Chargers in

310
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: this game. Chad does too, and I think we should

311
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: do it. Philip Rivers is just having a great year. YEP.

312
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: I do worry about off the buy. I worry about

313
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: the Seahawks defense, like they they have not missed a

314
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: beat without Earl Thomas or Michael Kendricks, and I thought,

315
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: you know, they were Um. They had a tough game

316
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: against the Rams, but everyone has a tough game against

317
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: the Rams. First game after Earl Thomas, then they destroyed

318
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: the Raid. To me, this past weekend was the game

319
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: where I felt like the Chickens would come home to

320
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: roost because they were without Earl Thomas. Now sort of

321
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: after thereby UM against a good team and they played

322
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: great and their running game was great and their offensive

323
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 1: line played okay, But do we really know that Detroit's

324
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: a good team? Detroit? Black Jack at this point looks

325
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: at the Chargers off of a bye week, with Melvin

326
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: Gordon now healthier than he's been since the beginning of

327
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: the questionable this week. Yeah, but he's gonna play and

328
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: he should be fresher than he's been off of bye

329
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: You know, two points short spread? Black Jack says, l A,

330
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: Chad joined you are you saying uh yes to l

331
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: A just because you now want to move there and

332
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: and be Hollywood? Um? No, If if black Jack wanted

333
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: to move to l A, he already would have because

334
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: he is Hollywood personified. But he chooses to remain in

335
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 1: the grit and the grind of New York City just

336
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: to be close to you. Let's be real, black Jack

337
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: can't get the funk off Long Island. Well, why would

338
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: Blackjack get off Long Island just to move out to

339
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: l A. Well, black Jack's not living in New York City,

340
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 1: Let's just be clear about that. Neither is Chad. Chad's

341
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,479
Speaker 1: living up on a high granted, Connecticut. In between Mike

342
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: Greenberg and Vince McMahon Chad doesn't claim to live in

343
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: New York City. Neither does Blackjack. You just said you

344
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 1: prefer the grit and the grime of New York City.

345
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: This is where Blackjack works, does Is he not in

346
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: your office more than you working? Is a loose term, Georgina,

347
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 1: you would know about that. Houston at Denver, Denver by one.

348
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: I gotta take all right, let's have it. I love

349
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: the Texans overall. I love the Texans overall. You know

350
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: that I have a Texans to win the super Bowl ticket,

351
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 1: which I told you was idiotic. You know that I've

352
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: been loving seeing what they've been doing the last few weeks.

353
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: I like Denver in this game. That's also idiotic. They

354
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 1: traded away to Marius Thomas to the Houston Texans going

355
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: to play again, So they traded away a player who

356
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: was older and not producing. I wrote in my Millman's

357
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: Red Zone Diaries that I you watched Family Life with Chad.

358
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: You got a problem. Then a lot of people gamble

359
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: and have families. Yeah, you and Mike Greenberg our guests.

360
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: Later today, you're gonna make fun of him too. He's

361
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,719
Speaker 1: gonna have an Oscar on the shelf. You have an

362
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: ESPN the magazine cover with you and Greeny. Greeny is

363
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: not even on there. What's the deal with you and him?

364
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: I don't even know him? What do you mean you

365
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: don't know him? You worked at the same company for

366
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: like a decade. There's seven thousand people. You're like the

367
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: idea to go person to him. You both have wives

368
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: named Stacy. Yeah, you know, I think his wife is

369
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: from my hometown. You both have wives that Wait, isn't

370
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 1: he from Chicago to No, he's from New York where

371
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 1: he went. Oh he went to Northwestern? Right, I forgot

372
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: better school? Um than what? Well? I mean everyone knows

373
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 1: that Indiana is Northwestern Safety School. That's true. So Greeny

374
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: did go to Northwestern got his start in the in

375
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: the media business. In Chicago where you're from. You basically

376
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: are twins. You dress identical to one another, you have

377
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: the same body type A thousand percent. Where where are

378
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: you not seeing the connection? Let's both live in Granted,

379
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 1: if I were making six million year, you think I'd

380
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: be hoofing it with you drinking cheap bubbly and eating

381
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: cold kiche. Black Shack doesn't know. Maybe your report to

382
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: decision maker. I mean, there's no way to figure it out.

383
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: Speaking of poor decisions, going with Houston in this case

384
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 1: would be a bad idea, Jeans, my friend, Why Houston

385
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: is so overrated in this game? Look at who they've beaten.

386
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: They've beat in Miami. But look who Denver is losing too.

387
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: More importantly, they're losing to the hardest, to the best

388
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL right now, the Jets. The Jets

389
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: are the one bad game, the one they got killed.

390
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: We're doing the Broncos. No, we're not. Well, come up

391
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: with something better until you come. We're not doing the

392
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: Broncos at best. It's a maybe. Well, we only got

393
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: a couple of games left. We're not doing it well.

394
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: Right now, it's in there. Black Jack's the one who

395
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 1: submits these picks. Black Jack doesn't Jacks telling you it's

396
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: not going in there. Black Jack is gonna have to

397
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: put it in there, because right now we don't have

398
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: anything else. How many do we have? Four? No, we

399
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: have three? Right? What do we have? We have the

400
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Chargers plus two against the Seahawks. We have

401
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings minus four and a half against the Lions,

402
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins minus one and a half against the

403
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. Tell me why you don't like Denver Houston.

404
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 1: Tell me why you tell me? Are you saying to

405
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 1: me right now you'd rather have Houston in this game

406
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 1: than Denver? Absolutely? I would. You would put put Houston

407
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 1: in as the pick instead of Houston is rolling right now.

408
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: And as our Action Network colleague Chris Raybon has pointed

409
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 1: out time and time again, Chris Raybon is really good.

410
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: Vance Joseph might be the worst head coach in the NFL.

411
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: The Broncos are simply overmatched. And the trade of Damarius Thomas,

412
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: while maybe it's not a huge on the field impact

413
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: in terms of loss of his production, now you're asking

414
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: a rookie in Courtland Sutton to step up in the

415
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: very first week after this trade and take those are options. Also,

416
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: it sends a signal to your team, does it not?

417
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: Does it not send a signal to that team that

418
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: we are kind of waving the white flag here? Dude.

419
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: They traded Demarrius Thomas. They didn't trade DeAndre Hopkins. He's

420
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: their number one. He's their number one. What does that

421
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: tell you? He's their number one? You're making Demarrius Thomas

422
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: out to be Terrell Prior. He's still a quality wide receiver.

423
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: He's not the he is not a number one receiver anymore.

424
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: In Houston. He's number two, maybe number three. No, he's

425
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: number two. We'll see who's number three. I don't know

426
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: who else. I don't know. Can you name me another

427
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: wine out on that rock? So I didn't think, So

428
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 1: let's move on. So Angelie's Rams at New Orleans Saints

429
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: by one and a half. Rams Saints says to the

430
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: best team in the NFC, you're gonna win this game

431
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 1: out right, and everyone knows how big of a fan

432
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: Blackjack is of the Saints. Black Jack has a super

433
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: Bowl future on the Saints, which was a smart bet

434
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: by black Jacket one. Well, Chad has a super Bowl

435
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: future on the Saints. Chad's also got eight others. However,

436
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:17,360
Speaker 1: these teams offensively are very very close. Okay, I will

437
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: give the Saints that they are close to the Rams offensively.

438
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: I would still give a slight edge to Los Angeles

439
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: on offense, but on defense is where the difference is.

440
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: The Rams are a markedly better defense. They are number

441
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: one in the league in pass rush rate. They have

442
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: added now Dante Fowler from the Jaguars to boost that

443
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: even further. The Saints defense simply is not on par

444
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: with the Rams defense, which means all the Rams have

445
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: to do is get a couple of stops during this game,

446
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: because I think their offense goes up and down the field.

447
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: I'm taking the Rams in the point in half. What

448
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: does it say, you know, if everyone's getting so excited

449
00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: about Dante Fowler, I'm not. It's an addition. But to

450
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: help you, what does it say to you? He's the

451
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: third overall pick like three years ago and they're already

452
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: giving up on it. What it says to what it

453
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: says to black Jack is something very simple. The Jaguars

454
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: decided they weren't going to pay him long term, and

455
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: a lot of that has to do with off the

456
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: field issues, because Dante Fowler has had a lot of

457
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: off the field issues. But that's not what we're here

458
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: to debate. He's certainly an addition to that Rams defense.

459
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: It makes them deeper, if nothing else. So we're gonna

460
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: be on the Saints that wouldn't have No, we're not well, brother,

461
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: black Jack is gonna have to come to some kind

462
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: of consensus, and what we're gonna do because right now.

463
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: We've got three games, we have one more left. Let's

464
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: have it. We have two more, two more, Let's do him.

465
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: Green Bay at New England Patriots by six. I've got

466
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: to take on this. Be shocked to hear what it is.

467
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: M hmm. Blackjack likes the Packers here. You don't give

468
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers that many points, plain and simple. You just

469
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: don't do it. You You have to look at this

470
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: game through the lens of number one. The Packers are

471
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: desperate team right now with the loss to l A.

472
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: The Packers need to get a win in the worst

473
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: way and outright win. This is only the second time

474
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: you've seen Rogers and Brady on the field together. You

475
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: would think that would add a little bit of fire

476
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: to Aaron Rodgers more than it would to Tom Brady.

477
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: But even if you like the Patriots here, you're still

478
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: getting a six point cushion with the Packers. What are

479
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: the odds that New England is going to go out

480
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: there and beat this team by a touchdown plus? With

481
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers on the other side, The Rams are, in

482
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: Blackjack's estimation, the most complete team in the NFL, and

483
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers went to hod to toe with them and

484
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: had a chance to win that game. Should have had

485
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: a chance to win that game if not for time

486
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: Montgomery and may well have done it. Now you have

487
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: a Patriots team, which black Jack doesn't see how anyone

488
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: could argue is a notch down from the Rams, and

489
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: you're still going to give Aaron Rodgers six points. I'm

490
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: taking Rogers and six. Let's put a pin in that

491
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: for a second. Sure, I don't disagree with you, but

492
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: I want to get to the next game and see

493
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: if that informs any of our decision making. For our

494
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: final pick. We have to make two picks, okay, but

495
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: I'm fairly certain we're gonna agree on this pick. This

496
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: this next pick, Tennessee at Dallas Cowboys by six and

497
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: a half Titans. It's like a new brainer. And everyone

498
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: knows how black Jack feels about the Tennessee Titans. Hates

499
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: them with the fire of a thousand sons. Sons having

500
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: said that the Dallas Cowboys should not be six point favorites,

501
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: black Jack is preaching the jais third. The Titans are

502
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: off of bye, they're af one point loss to this

503
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: to the charges, absolutely Tennis ridiculous. So Titans and Packers

504
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: were good. There's five hot it. Let's get to Bradley

505
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: Cooper's interview. Patriots, Packers, Rams, Saints, Texans and Brankos. We

506
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: do not have the Rams and the Saints. It's not

507
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: going We're not going to agree on that. Listen. I

508
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: love the Saints. I love the Saints, but black Jack

509
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: can't give them to you. I think that's a massive mistake.

510
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: This is it, my friend. This is homefield advantage throughout

511
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: the FC playoffs. You think in the Superdome in New Orleans,

512
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: you don't want to bet on Drew Brees to win

513
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: the fucking game. Drew Brees, Drew Brees, who's gonna go

514
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: down as one of the four greatest quarterbacks? Who he's

515
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: making Blackjack's Tom Brady argument that he's made for the

516
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: last time. You're going to bet against Drew Brees, against

517
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: the defense that is getting better and better, against a

518
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: defense that completely shut down, an offense that is nearly

519
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: on par with the Rams, that went toe to toe

520
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: with the Rams. What are our choices? What are our choices?

521
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,239
Speaker 1: For the fifth game? All right, let's say I take

522
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: Denver and Houston out of it. It's the Saints. The

523
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: Saints by one and a half to win the game,

524
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: or the Patriots or the Packers plus six. You honestly

525
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: like the Saints laying a point in a half against

526
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: the most complete team in the NFL better than Aaron

527
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: Rodgers getting six points. That's what you're telling me. You

528
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: know what, black Jack is going to leave this up

529
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: to you. This is this is the black Jack is

530
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: going to leave this up to you, and he's going

531
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 1: to make the statement right here on these air waves

532
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 1: for the millions of listeners, that the right choice here

533
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: is the Packers. The Packers are the correct pick here.

534
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers will cover this number. If even if you

535
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 1: like the Saints, you have to admit it's a fifty

536
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: fifty proposition here. Aaron Rodgers catching six points in a

537
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 1: big game against the Patriots is probably better than fifty.

538
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: But I'm going to leave this up to you. You

539
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: make our fifth pick the Saints. Okay, there it is.

540
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: Here we go. We like the Washington Redskins minus one

541
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: and a half against the Atlanta Falcons. We like the

542
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings minus four and a half against the Detroit Lions.

543
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: We like the Los Angeles Chargers plus two. We get

544
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: to Seattle Seahawks. We like the New Orleans Saints to

545
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 1: minus one and a half against the Los Angeles Rams,

546
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 1: and we like the Tennessee Titans plus six and a

547
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: half against the Dallas Cowboys. Listen, you gotta stick around

548
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 1: because we have such a great guest who was freaking hilarious. Uh,

549
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: and you're gonna love it. Plus, if you listen to

550
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:27,680

00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: he's not, they should cancel the awards he will be nominated.

566
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 1: He will likely be nominated for an OSCAR this year

567

00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 1: gambled on you've succeeded. Well, that's it. You know, everybody

00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: want scoops to make a line. That's all I want

608
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 1: to say. Here's what's cool, is like at some point,

609
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: you know, uh, one are the Oscars in February. Yes,

610
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: sometime in February, black Jack is going to be attending

611
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: this year. Uh something really would be a crime if

612
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: black Jack didn't attend the Oscar. Well, I think I

613
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: think you actually have to forget your wife. If you're nominated,

614
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 1: just bring black I'll make sure in her spot and

615
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: if I get to her, I get to her. Um listen,

00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,239

627
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,520

628
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: like unfettered something. It's unfetter. It's unfreed worldwide, which is

629
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 1: a Step Brothers reference. And if you didn't get that immediately,

630

00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: course he did. The doesn't have to become about my

634
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 1: you know, I don't go see a stars more. Just

636
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: Step Brothers as much as he's going to enjoy a

637
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 1: Star is born. I don't know if that kind of

638
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: humor is made for Chad. I'm very funny. Listen, this

639
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,800
Speaker 1: is what I did. I went I'm very funny. Is

640
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 1: what you said to that? I went to I went

641
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: to unfedered world wild Worldwide, which is which is which

642
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: actually is very funny because you and your partner had

643
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 1: your mom's right your bios, which was great. But even then,

644
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: I also went to your IMDb page. UM, I thought

645
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 1: one of my favorite lines on Unfedered Worldwide or somewhere

646
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: else you had was that the posters for all the

647
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: movies you've written are just white couples, uh, touching each

648
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 1: other's faces. Yeah, it's amazing. I didn't see any stars

649
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: Born uh poster until I don't even know when I

650
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,800
Speaker 1: saw it, but I saw I I busted out, lam.

651
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:57,879
Speaker 1: It could have done anything. You know, There's so many

652
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: amazing images and is and that, So I'm glad they

653
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 1: kept consistent. So Will How did you get hooked up

654
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: with Bradley Cooper to write this movie? It's kind of

655
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 1: a surreal thing. I worked on the movie forever. I

656
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 1: first came on the writeing uh nine years ago and uh,

657
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: I the event of development. Hell and I did a

658
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 1: draft and it was good, and we immediately went out

659
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: and the first director that was attached with Nick Cassinetti's

660
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: he was a great guy and super cool, and UM,

661
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,760
Speaker 1: I work with Nick a little bit and then we couldn't.

662
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:36,439
Speaker 1: They're trying to get you always were trying to find

663
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: the guy. Beyonce was usually attached for a while and

664
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: then uh, that kind of fell apart, and then Clint

665
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: Eastwood came on. I was a big one, and Clint

666
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: Wood came really close. Clint is a kind of known

667
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: out here where well, I mean he's kind of known everywhere,

668
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: but out here with Clint is he if he comes

669
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: onto a movie like it's gonna get made. And that's

670
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,399
Speaker 1: the game in this business, is that you're just trying

671
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: to get to the get to somebody to spend a

672
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 1: bunch of money and get on set and make something.

673
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 1: And so Clint actually first brought it to Bradley and

674
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: then I remember this vividly. I was my my producer,

675
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: Bill Gerber, who is a good friend of mine. He's

676
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: the person who hired me on it and worked on

677
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 1: this forever. I mean, like I think it almost twenty years.

678
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: He's been was involved with it um and he we

679
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: had Plint, and he's talking to Beyonced and I was

680
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: really rewrites for Plint, and we were getting there like

681
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: soft pre production they call it. They weren't spending money,

682
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 1: but they were like flying to check out locations. And

683
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 1: then I think he read the script for Jersey Boys

684
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,240
Speaker 1: or something. Is that that's something that's the apocryphal story,

685
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 1: But in any event, I didn't hear from anybody for

686
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 1: like a month, and then all of a sudden, it

687
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: was like they can't make the dates work since going

688
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 1: to Jersey Boys, and kind of everything fall apart. But

689
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: that did lead to Bradley and Clint. I think that

690
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: was the pretext for him meeting to American Sniper. So

691
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: that worked out well, hurt up and then that karmically

692
00:42:54,560 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: came back after American Sniper, where Bradley had he always

693
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about it a bunch on the press day.

694
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: He just always want to try to make a love

695
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 1: story and he loves music, and this property got in

696
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: front of him and he read my draft and then

697
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 1: I remember getting a call like are you available tomorrow

698
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 1: to come out to Malibu? And I met him out

699
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: in Malibu to along his friend past and and we

700
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,399
Speaker 1: just talked it through and hit it off. And within

701
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: two months I was in London because he was doing

702
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: The Elephant Man. We're starting to rewrite the script, so

703
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:28,439
Speaker 1: and we've been working it for a couple of years.

704
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: What did you cancel the day you were supposed to

705
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: go to Malibu? You're very busy. I imagine you have

706
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: something to do. I probably canceled sitting in a coffee

707
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 1: shop staring at my computer and uh and checking the

708
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 1: checking the gambling lines. For I guess it would have

709
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 1: been March April, so I would have been looking at

710
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: the NBA playoffs. That's that's what I can do, all right,

711
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: So let's talk about that for a second. That's a

712
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 1: great story and we're super psyched for you, and um,

713
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 1: black Jack, do you mind if I asked a question?

714
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: Do you have a question you want to ask black Jack?

715
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 1: Does black was that question? Yeah? Well, at what point

716
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: was it when you were writing this? Was it when

717
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: Bradley Cooper came on? At what point did you sit

718
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,879
Speaker 1: back and realize, like, I think we've got something really

719
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: special here. Well, I knew Bradley was really special. Um,

720
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 1: that's kind of a it sounds a kind of a

721
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: pat answer, but I'll say that it was a couple

722
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 1: of phases, like when I first met that guy, Um,

723
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 1: he was talking through scenes in such a vivid, specific way,

724
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 1: and you were a very very talented, smart person. And

725
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,359
Speaker 1: so I've been in the business long enough to kind

726
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 1: of like me a lot of people, and he is

727
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 1: one of those. He is one of those people that

728
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: has like the quality of he got everything. You know,

729
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: it's karasmatic smart, but he really understands him and he

730
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 1: had to. He had really specific ideas and I remember

731
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: him acting at a couple of scenes he already had

732
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,800
Speaker 1: in his head, and um, so I knew he was

733
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: gonna And also this isn't the wait. Literally I met

734
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 1: him a month after the The American Sniper oscars, Like,

735
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:02,399
Speaker 1: so knew that the height of that, and I knew

736
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 1: what he was capable of, and I knew he wasn't

737
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 1: going to come on and just like kind of it

738
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 1: has chanced to be special. Uh, And then we did

739
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: a screen test for God and I got to I

740
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: got to spend some time with her and met her

741
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,839
Speaker 1: and she's just such an exceptional person. I mean, she's

742
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 1: really humble, she's it's just an unbelievably talented person, like

743
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:30,360
Speaker 1: as talented as everybody is. Uh that her voice is something,

744
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: it's like a special effect. I mean, it's really all

745
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: the Michael Bay you know, who's the best probably best

746
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: sessue writer in the world. You know, can't and you

747
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,880
Speaker 1: can spend fifty million dollars in an actually sequence or

748
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 1: you can just put the camera on her face and

749
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: let her saying, I mean that's how how how exactly

750
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:49,320
Speaker 1: she is so her being involved, and then you know,

751
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:51,760
Speaker 1: and then once you get into the production and stuff,

752
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 1: it's funny. I did I know I was gonna talk

753
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 1: to you guys have thought about this, and I writing

754
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 1: a screenplay is actually similar to handicapping the game, and

755
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 1: and it is similar in this way, like you, we

756
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 1: work really really hard, and Bradley and I met over

757
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:11,240
Speaker 1: and over again. I wrote, I rewrote, We wrote hundreds

758
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: of thousands of words, and we just kept writing, rewriting,

759
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: changing themes because we're finding refining um. And then you

760
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 1: just kind of a certain point the director has to

761
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 1: go make the movie. You're you're writing a blueprint to

762
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: build house. So it wasn't until really I kind of

763
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 1: knew that the script was strong, but you know, I

764
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: didn't know, I know if all the performances are going

765
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 1: to come together, I know if it was all gonna work.

766
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,760
Speaker 1: And then I saw a cut at the test screening

767
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 1: and and uh it was the shallow scene where I

768
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 1: was like, oh, fuck, yeah, we're I have listened to

769
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:48,800
Speaker 1: that song. I haven't seen the movie, as we know

770
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:54,320
Speaker 1: you that I have listened to a Shallow literally like

771
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: probably seventy five times. I just listened to it on

772
00:46:57,239 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 1: Spotify on repeat, and like on spot if I I

773
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 1: have some of the soundtracks, I'll play it in the

774
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: car and then sometimes I will switch over to Lady

775
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: Gaga and the first song that plays is shallow and

776
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:11,399
Speaker 1: Will what you're describing the process you're describing of sort

777
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: of writing a movie like Stify so bad. Uh. It

778
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 1: reminds me a lot of the way black Jack and

779
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: I handicap. I feel like, you know, there's so much

780
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 1: tension and drama, and like we spend so much time

781
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:29,319
Speaker 1: working on it to get it right. And oftentimes when

782
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 1: I look at Blackjack, I think it's like I'm staring

783
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: into the deep blue pools of Bradley Cooper. That's a fact,

784
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 1: will more important question because Chad's just rambling at this point. Um,

785
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:46,879
Speaker 1: there was no question there. That was just by the way,

786
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: here's a bit of advice. Can I give you some

787
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 1: advice when Will is talking, just let him talk. Don't

788
00:47:54,040 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 1: be like you don't tell Also, don't even Lady Gaga, Okay,

789
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: And you're like, yeah, of course, of course, of course

790
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: you're acting like you haven't even seen the movie Clown.

791
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 1: I did see the Lady Gaga documentary, and I thought,

792
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 1: more importantly is when Blackjack writes the next Great American film,

793
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 1: can I bring it to you? Oh my god, do

794
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:23,439
Speaker 1: I now have Does Blackjack now have a connection in Hollywood? Yeah?

795
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 1: I mean like every you have, like every rapper, like

796
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: like Dr Jay gets Eminem and then retires and also

797
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:32,800
Speaker 1: beaton and make some billion dollars and then name the

798
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 1: name get strict cent and I need kind of have

799
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:37,799
Speaker 1: to work for like ten years exactly. That's the game

800
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 1: out here too. You I'd love for you to be

801
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 1: my Eminem and you know, you know what will When

802
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 1: you were describing Bradley Cooper, you were talking about someone

803
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 1: smart with creative vision. It felt like you were describing

804
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 1: Blackjack in a way. So Blackjack thinks this could definitely

805
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 1: be a thing where we collaborate and right the next

806
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:02,840
Speaker 1: Great American film. Also, yeah, I do think. You know,

807
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 1: Bradley did not refer to himself as Bradley and the

808
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 1: third person as often, but you know, but he did

809
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:12,720
Speaker 1: do it. Icon that's true. Icons can't do it. Yeah, Chad,

810
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 1: nobody named Chad can refer to himself in the third person.

811
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 1: Nobody Yad thinks Black Chack is a fraud and uh, well,

812
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 1: well then what does that say about Chad for hiring

813
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 1: if you met black Chack, I was hiring a clown.

814
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 1: I needed a personality. That's it. It's like you're eating

815
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 1: a kish. I like you. I think that your acrimony

816
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: actually really helps you in the contest, because I do

817
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 1: the contest with a friend and this year we're doing well,

818
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 1: we're doing We're like a check for six and two.

819
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 1: We're hanging in, we're in the pack and uh and

820
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:55,879
Speaker 1: but we haven't had trouble in the past because he's

821
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 1: we're friends, and so we tend we were coming to

822
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:01,919
Speaker 1: a compromise every week. We're like the consensus and that's death.

823
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:07,040
Speaker 1: So like that Patriot game, absurd. But you were right.

824
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 1: I mean the black Acts read was right, which is

825
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,399
Speaker 1: a good certain point. Thank you know, if you don't

826
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 1: know what to do, like take a stand on Tom

827
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:15,800
Speaker 1: Brady and where it's like if it was me and

828
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 1: my friend the last couple of years, we would have

829
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:21,959
Speaker 1: ended up, you know, settling on like you know, Kansas City.

830
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: But that's just how that's how it would be. Bro.

831
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:26,400
Speaker 1: So I think you guy should keep up the actrimony.

832
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:28,719
Speaker 1: It's helping you. I will tell you that I think

833
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 1: you're both idiots because resulted our first guest ever on

834
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 1: this show. I call him like, I see nice, real nice.

835
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 1: This is gonna be an Oscar Award winner, and you're

836
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 1: gonna call him an idiot. What's he doing for me?

837
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: He's You're gonna rid send a screening up of the

838
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: film for you. That's true. But here's the thing. Tom

839
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: Brady didn't win that game the Bill. The Bills lost

840
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: that game. The Bills lost, As you would say, doesn't matter.

841
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: The right side is the winning side. Well, how did

842
00:50:57,680 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 1: you get into gambling? You seem to be an officiate

843
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 1: at I'm not a fishing atto. I'm actually uh, I'm

844
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:06,800
Speaker 1: you know, like every other hump out there. I just

845
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 1: just had about and in in high school a little bit.

846
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:11,840
Speaker 1: But then in college was probably when I really remember

847
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 1: starting to to consistently lose money. UM was like we

848
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 1: had a bookie an apartment complex that I lived in, UM,

849
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,240
Speaker 1: and I just started, you know, it's actually really funny.

850
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 1: The first book he was like one of those one

851
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 1: of those years. For the first couple of weeks of

852
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 1: the NFL season, the favorites were coming in and it's

853
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 1: like a really nice kid. It was like kind of

854
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:35,399
Speaker 1: smart and and you know understood how bookies why put

855
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 1: together two and two as to how like casinos a

856
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 1: gigantic and beautiful. And he was like, I'm gonna take

857
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 1: best from all these stupid college kids. And he got

858
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: wiped out. I mean he he lost like thousands of dollars.

859
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:49,400
Speaker 1: And then this like degenerate guy who literally looked like

860
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 1: a like like muscle came in and he became a

861
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 1: bookiepler and he made fortune and we were taking all

862
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 1: of our actions. And so I just kind of that,

863
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 1: you know that NFL pretty consistently. And then why then

864
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 1: I have a couple of friends out here. They really

865
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:07,320
Speaker 1: got got me kind of back into it. When I

866
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,360
Speaker 1: left that I would dabble when I love football and

867
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:13,880
Speaker 1: basketball and f L, n B a um. So now

868
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 1: it's like pretty consistently to I knew the contest the

869
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:20,239
Speaker 1: last three years, and I'll do NBA playoffs. So I

870
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:23,800
Speaker 1: consistently that NBA playoffs, which is always fun because I'll think, like,

871
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: you know, Memphis plus hundred to beat you know, Golden

872
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 1: State two years ago and they're up to one and

873
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 1: then they just get annihilated. It really yeah, but for that,

874
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:35,799
Speaker 1: for those two days, you're on top of the world.

875
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 1: Days you just got the warriors. We do it every year.

876
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 1: I talked myself into like, maybe this is see your

877
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 1: zach Ran Bolton, Marcus Sault and grind him down. Cut

878
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 1: to Clay Thompson hitting six threes and eight minutes. I

879
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 1: love talking sports of the Will he feels like one

880
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 1: of us. Yeah, it's because he is one of us.

881
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 1: We're men of the people. That's what people don't understand.

882
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:00,360
Speaker 1: When we opened up this invitation for people tojoin us

883
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 1: at the film, we haven't done it yet. Well, I'm

884
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 1: going this is going to at the back end of

885
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 1: the episode, Chad have money. I'm going to wait for

886
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 1: somebody to give me the number that people can call

887
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,800
Speaker 1: we will. I have the number. Um, we're men of

888
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: the people. Will. When we wanted to invite a stranger

889
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: to come and see A Star Is Born with us,

890
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 1: some in our office said we were insane. Um, black

891
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 1: Jack thought the only insanity was that people would want

892
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 1: to come and watch A Star Is Born with me

893
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 1: and Chad Milman. But uh, if we're men of the people.

894
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, Will is one of us. It was it

895
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 1: was it was Chad Milman's idea to open it up

896
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 1: to the people. It was Chad Milman's idea. Well, before

897
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:42,320
Speaker 1: we let you go, UM, let's talk about like a

898
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:44,439
Speaker 1: couple of year props. Okay, because we're going to print

899
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 1: this out and we're gonna bring it with us. Uh.

900
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 1: I want to know how you say some of these lines.

901
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:53,759
Speaker 1: Total cries and cry shall be defined as tearing up,

902
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 1: whether it's a full on ugly sob or just getting

903
00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 1: a little reclemped. Tears of any kind equals a cry.

904
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 1: Millman two cries, the over minus one third, the under

905
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 1: plus one of five, Blackjack two and a half cries.

906
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 1: Your theory is that even though black Jack has seen it,

907
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:15,880
Speaker 1: he's going to cry more. That's just that's not what

908
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 1: It's a straw poll of people around me. I do

909
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:21,880
Speaker 1: think that there's a ton of little moments um that

910
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:25,800
Speaker 1: you that you tend to feel more viscerally. Um. But

911
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 1: you know it's funny I have before to get into

912
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 1: house with the lines. I actually really he's missing like

913
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:32,399
Speaker 1: a key piece of information. If we have an extra

914
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 1: two minutes, because I wanted to run through that. I

915
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys are criers in movies. Jack,

916
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 1: that's by the way, I had a feeling given that

917
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 1: you've seen The Stars Born, and I really liked it

918
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 1: and enthusiastic. We talked about it about well, let me

919
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 1: let me tell you. Let me tell you a funny

920
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 1: story about the night I saw A Star is Born.

921
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 1: It was it was the night of the Yankees and

922
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,480
Speaker 1: Red Sox. It was an elimination game in the first

923
00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 1: round of the playoffs, and so Blackjack had really wanted

924
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:05,440
Speaker 1: to see this movie, and so, uh he went to

925
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 1: see it that night, cried maybe twice during the movie,

926
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 1: walked out of the movie, and immediately said, you have

927
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:18,759
Speaker 1: to see that movie again, because once you know how

928
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:22,319
Speaker 1: the story progresses, there's a lot of those, as you said,

929
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,839
Speaker 1: little moments early on that take on a lot more significance.

930
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:29,719
Speaker 1: And as I was pulling into my driveway, black Jack

931
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:33,240
Speaker 1: gets a phone call from Paul Laduka. Now ten thirty

932
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:36,360
Speaker 1: at night, getting a phone call from Paul Laduca. It

933
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:39,920
Speaker 1: can be any number of things. It can be any

934
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:44,320
Speaker 1: number of definite was not. Paul Laduca called me to

935
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:47,040

Speaker 1: Jack cried two, Paul, I mean it was it was

942
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:14,239
Speaker 1: just it's one of those movies that if you don't cry,

943
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 1: you just don't have a soul. So listen. I am

944
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 1: also a crier at movies. The last movie I cried

945
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:31,919
Speaker 1: at was Crazy rich Asian's I did it twice. Well,

946
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:35,399
Speaker 1: you know the pack, you know the pack of it's

947
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:41,839
Speaker 1: a holicaupt Mavie be really good. There's a scene. There's

948
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 1: a scene where where like the mom goes to play

949
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:51,759
Speaker 1: blacks gonna cry. Now, there's a couple of scenes in

950
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:53,279
Speaker 1: there that will get you. I'm just saying, have you

951
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:58,480
Speaker 1: seen it? No, black does not? When din't you just

952
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:01,520
Speaker 1: start referring yourself as black, act like as if that's it.

953
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 1: Black Jack started it today. I want you to continue

954
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:11,800
Speaker 1: this alright. So here we've seen I've seen Crazy rich Asians.

955
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:15,359
Speaker 1: I loved it, and I did cry twice. Wow, all right,

956
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 1: I cry it. Here's the thing. I h There's nothing

957
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:23,800
Speaker 1: in my life that I am sentimental about or makes

958
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 1: me cry. You have two children, haven't cried, but I cry. Beautiful,

959
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 1: you should have. You should have cried when that woman

960
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:38,760
Speaker 1: agreed to marry you. Nope, you should. But I cry

961
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 1: at every movie. That's I think where my emotions come out.

962
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 1: I'm locking them up until the movies. I wasn't going

963
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 1: to move the line because you're post in the shallow

964
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 1: a bunch, because I think the the impact of never

965
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 1: having heard it is pretty unique. Once you've heard it,

966
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 1: you know it's still because you don't have the context

967
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 1: sports I was gonna say, I think. I think so

968
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:57,760
Speaker 1: the next one I want to talk about this is

969
00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 1: the last one to talk about. Well, shallow be sponsible

970
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 1: for a Millman cry. Um. I will tell you I

971
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:08,920
Speaker 1: have heard the song a thousand times, and at two

972
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 1: minutes and twenty eight seconds, Lady Gaga comes in like

973
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 1: a rumbling thunder. That's not when you're gonna cry, and

974
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 1: she just destroys that song. And I am thinking, when

975
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 1: I have the context and it's on screen and I

976
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 1: have the images, I am I am going to be

977
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 1: a blubber and fool. You'll be one before that. Well,

978
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking in that moment. Yes, his mind is

979
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 1: two D that knows plus two fifty. I like that

980

Speaker 1: he wrote in parentheses Noman's Got Kids seems like a

981
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 1: guy who fearlessly takes chances, pursues dreams, definitely still has

982
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:46,160

Speaker 1: and he understands like he's playing the bookmaker game here.

985
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:56,720
