22
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,920

00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: gonna talk about that. We'll have Michael Coval, the director

24
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: of Fantasy Products, stopped in and chat with us. And

25
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: I mean, of course we're talking Game of Thrones. It

26
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: it ended. It's all over, So we're going to recap

27
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: the final episode with a thud. Uh, we'll talk about

28
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: how we all felt about it and uh, yeah, I

29
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: don't know, try to pick up the pieces. Also talk

30
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: about maybe what is what was the most disappointing TV

31
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: show finale of all time? Before we get started on,

32
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: let's go behind the glass talk to our fabulous producer,

33
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: Senior Edward L. Murphy. Esquire Murph, what's up. I was

34
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: nice to Grant this morning because obviously he's out sick.

35
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: But I think now what he was doing is because

36
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: me and him talked up episode five a Game of

37
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: Thrones so much, he just wanted to bail on front

38
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: of it. It's not a good move. Graham, oh man,

39
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: Graham has been called out. We have seen through him,

40
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: so we'll well, we'll get his we'll get his takes

41
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: on it next week, hopefully when he's back, because we

42
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: are also going to do a whole series recap next week.

43
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: We'll talk about some of the highs and lows of

44
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: the whole eight seasons of Game of Thrones. But today

45
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: we'll just worry about the final episode. We'll talk about that.

46
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: Before get into that, let's do some news. Levian Bell

47
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: says he will do his best whether the Jets like

48
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: him or not. I mean, that's cool, uh, I mean,

49
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: that is cool. I guess my question, Fabs is he's

50
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: on a team, the offense isn't as good as what

51
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: he had in Pittsburgh, and he's a coach that apparently

52
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: doesn't like him. I mean it should be. We worried

53
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: about how much he might see the ball theysue. They

54
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: gave him a hell of a lot of money, but

55
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: you know, there's rumors last week that, you know, maybe

56
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: they could trade him. I know John Cleatan said something

57
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: like that. I don't know, man, the Jets are a

58
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: dumpster fire. Like I feel bad for people who are

59
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: Mets and Jets fans, like my pal Jason Smith by

60
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: the way over Fox Sports, because their life has to

61
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: be hell right, you get excited about a lot of

62
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: the good moves that the Jets made in the off season,

63
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: and including Levian Bell. And then they fire mcagnen after

64
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: he had already gone through the process of free agency

65
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: and the draft, and now gaze is the GM. He

66
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: already made a trade, uh Darren Lee. And now we're

67
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: hearing reports that Gays wanted Tevin Coleman and not Levan Bell.

68
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not moving Bell in my fantasy ranks,

69
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: but it's not ideal. It's not ideal, that's for sure.

70
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: I mean you would think that you get a guy

71
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: like that in the building, you will find a way

72
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: to integrate him into the offense. But you know, we

73
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: also saw that last year. Uh. Look, and I'm not

74
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: comparing Kenyan Drake to Levy on Bell, but he had

75
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: any decent running back in Kenyan Drake. He just never

76
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: used him. I mean, what else he got? You gotta

77
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: like him? I mean, like what you what you got?

78
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: You know, time Montgomery. I mean, there's nothing else. I

79
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: mean they didn't have anything in Miami either. What I mean, Look,

80
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: I love Frank, love Frank Gore, but they didn't get

81
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: I mean Frank course still got some tread on those

82
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: fifty year old tires. It was a little bit sad

83
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: to see that he's a he's hurt right now. I

84
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: hope this is not the end for Frank or h

85
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: but I don't know. I right now Live Bell is

86
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: sort of a back into the first round sort of guy.

87
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: I would imagine he's going to stay there, but I

88
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: was I was in uh Pro Football Focus had a

89
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: mock draft that we just wrapped up, and I'm pretty

90
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: sure Bell went fifth. So I mean, all right, all right,

91
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: I mean he's definitely a first round guy. He's the

92
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: first round guy. It's it's okay, it's May who knows.

93
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: But you know, Adam Gates is not He's not doing

94
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: anything to inspire confidence in us at all. Well has

95
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: he ever? I mean, like honestly, like lately, it's kind

96
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: of been like not really. Cooper Cup is making progress

97
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: in his A C L recovery. That's good news. I

98
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: feel like he's going to be under drafted this year.

99
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: I think people maybe I don't know if Babe forgot

100
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: about him or if people are just gonna be way

101
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: overly high on Robert Woods, but I feel like he's

102
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: gonna end up being a really big draft steal in

103
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: a lot of leaks, I don't know in that. In

104
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: that mock, I ended up actually getting him, and I

105
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: think it was the fifth round, so that's probably where

106
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna end up. I actually moved him down a

107
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: little bit, like I had him second behind Robert Woods

108
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: and the trio of Rams wide receivers ahead of Brandon Cooks,

109
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: and move Cooks ahead of him because you know, we're

110
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: still not sure. Um the goal is for Cooper Cup

111
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: to be ready for a week one. Well, you know

112
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: we all got a lot of goals done mean that

113
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna meet those goals. So he's going to be

114
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: moving down slightly. I could see people drafting a guy

115
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: like Chris Godwin ahead of him, who I love, But

116
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 1: I don't know that he's gonna drop too far. I

117
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: say he's probably on the sort of the the that

118
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: that edge of being a two three in the twelve

119
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: team Fantasy Football calculator right now has him very end

120
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: of the fourth round UH in twelve team leagues, just

121
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: ahead of Julian Edelman and Kenny Golladay. Adelman draft Edelman

122
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: one pick behind Robert Woods. So interesting, So you would

123
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: you take Edelman I had a Cooper Cup. Yes, oh oh,

124
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: no doubt, no doubt me because you know, I know

125
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: every year we say the end is coming for Tom

126
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: Brady and the Patriots, and like one of these years

127
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: were actually going to be right. So I'm just gonna

128
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: say it again, the end is coming for Tom Brady

129
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: and the Patriots, and like at some point even in PPR,

130
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: like I just because that that right now is like

131
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: the one thing that is keeping Julian Edelman sort of.

132
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: I won't say a float fantasy wise, but that definitely

133
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: enhances his attraction in drafts. Um, I've got Edelman going

134
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: off the board in the fourth round in twelve team league.

135
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: Uh so last year and I only only played twelve games,

136
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: but seven and four catch is zpr nut and they

137
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: have no one else. I mean, look, James White, I mean,

138
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: give me a wide receiver, James White, the various Thomas

139
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: We don't know what else going on with him. I mean,

140
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: it's just but it's also the fact that does Tom

141
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: Brady throw the ball? How many times do you throw

142
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: the ball? Last year, I mean he threw it. I

143
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: I fully expect the Patriots to be running the ball

144
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: a lot, you know, I mean, they have Sony, they

145
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: have James White, who's more of a pass catcher. You know,

146
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: they brought in Damien Harris. They have Rex Burkhead as well,

147
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: so they're going to run the ball. Um, you know,

148
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: I'm not I don't remember if Tom Brady even got drafted,

149
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: and if he did in that in that Expert's leage draft,

150
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: it was like, really it was very odd to see

151
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's name still on the board and like the

152
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: twelve or thirteenth round. I can see Tom Brady and

153
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: not getting drafted in a lot of industry leagues this year. Yeah,

154
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: I can see that totally happen. He threw the ball

155
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: five hundred and seventy times this past season, which you know,

156
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: the way things had been going previously was a lot. Um.

157
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: We'll see if he gets there again. Uh but man,

158
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: that's a lot of throws. And if he doesn't throw

159
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: it that much, then I don't know. Chris Carson had

160
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: quote a little work on on his knee. Look, man,

161
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: I hope it's I hope it is a little work.

162
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: I've been saying since last season that that Pete Carroll

163
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: is going to give a shot penny every opportunity to

164
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: win this starting job. And look, maybe this just opens

165
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: the door a little bit of a crack for Shot Penny.

166
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: I don't know it's going to be a committee at

167
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: at best. I think they're I just think for Shot

168
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: Penny is gonna he's gonna end up getting a whole

169
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: lot more work. It's just maybe not enough to be

170
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: a Fantasy star, but enough to wreck Chris Carson's vout.

171
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, for Shot Penny is a target

172
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: in best ball leagues. That's what I think. So that's

173
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: he's a good target, but absolutely things because you're not

174
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: gonna have to go out and draft him in the

175
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: first seven eight rounds. I mean, all the light, more

176
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: than likely he's going to be a guy that you

177
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: can get and and at a good value. Yeah, I

178
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: think absolutely agree with that. More running back news in

179
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: the NFC West. Matt Breeda has a slightly foreign pectoral muscle.

180
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: Wait wait, wait, Matt Breed is hurt. He's gonna be probable.

181
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: He's still probable. He'll play this week. It's fine about Eddie.

182
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: That never happens. He'll he'll he'll play. It's never because

183
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: that's what he did. That's what he did all last

184
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: year he was hurt. Everybody downgrades and he goes out

185
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: and he plays and just blows everything up. Then I'm

186
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: just are already that are already having running back issues

187
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: because Brita's hurt. I think Joe McKinnon is a little

188
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: bit banged up right now. Suddenly Tavin Collins looking like

189
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: a lot, you know, like they're already having issues and

190
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: maybe it's because they keep trying to get these smaller

191
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: backs in there. I don't know what it is, but

192
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: it's not a good start for them. Uh. Carson Wentz

193
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: full go in O t A s. I know, we

194
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: know how good wins can be when he is at

195
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: his best. We just haven't seen him finish a full season. Um,

196
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: where are you drafting him? If you are drafting him?

197
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: I mean, does does the the injury concerns weigh in?

198
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: You know they play a factor when you look at

199
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: draft because I mean, what's it gonna come off the board?

200
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: Ten eleventh rounds, maybe twelfth rounds, something like that. That's

201
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: just the quarterback position as a whole. I mean, heck,

202
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 1: I saw it. It was very odd in that p

203
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: draft that that Patrick Mahomes went in the third round.

204
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: I thought that was kind of crazy, especially with the

205
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: question marks with Tyreek Hill. But you know, you've got

206
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: some great weapons. And they added to Shawn Jackson. Uh,

207
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: they added J. J. Are Sega Whiteside. So WinCE has

208
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: got more weapons in the past attack than he's ever

209
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: had in Philadelphia. And we saw him two seasons ago

210
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: before he went down with the kne injury against the Rams.

211
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: We saw him he was a Fantasy m VP candidate

212
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: and he was so heck dude as And is he

213
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: gonna get drafted as a as a low one or

214
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: a high too? Uh? Based on where you're gonna get him. Heck,

215
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 1: I would have no problem drafting him at all. I'm

216
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: looking in and he's played fewer and fewer games each year.

217
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 1: He played sixteen his rookie year, thirteen his second year,

218
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: eleven last year. Now, I get it there's risk, but

219
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: I mean, like, if you're taking him in the tenth, eleven,

220
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: twelfth round, I mean there's not a lot of risk. Yeah,

221
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: I mean I guess. I guess because I'm in a

222
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: situation I tend to not draft two quarterbacks and so

223
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: if I'm not sure that I on him as my

224
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: QB one I probably would stay away, but sure I

225
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: get people drafting him, and as long as he's healthy,

226
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna be fine. It's just staying healthy. So keep

227
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: an eye on that and plenty more. It's may not

228
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: a whole lot to talk about. That's pretty much everything

229
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: you need to know. So this is the off season,

230
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: so this is the time we like to tweak and

231
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: update and do new things with our Fantasy app and

232
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: with our Fantasy game, and to help us kind of

233
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: sort out what is new in the game. And you know,

234
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: maybe as you guys are listening to this, you can

235
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: follow along on your handy dandy little mobile device. Uh.

236
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: Michael Koval, director of Fantasy product here at the NFL

237
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: or digital media? What are we? What are we now

238
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: that we are? I think digital media? Cool? Uh, Mike,

239
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: thanks for something by man. Good to have you guys. Yeah,

240
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's nice to see. So for those of

241
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: you who don't know, and why would you know, we

242
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: have been working with Michael for I feel like a

243
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: couple of years, and it's been a couple of years.

244
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: Have been on the good man, he's a good man.

245
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: On revamping the app. But the new and improved Fantasy

246
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: app is available. Is it available to the general public?

247
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: That is available, So if you go to the io

248
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: s M App Store or the Android App Store, either one,

249
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: you can go check out the new application. All Right,

250
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: I like it. It's clean. I mean I say this

251
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: as though I wasn't sitting in on some of these

252
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: meetings and helping you guys, But the new look is clean.

253
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: I think it's a lot more streamline. It's got a

254
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: lot more things in in one place easily to get to,

255
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: and you know, for our selfish purposes. It also has

256
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: some content and stuff offerings so people can get news

257
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: and updates. Um what else? What else is new in

258
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: this thing for people who are just checking it out? Yeah,

259
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the biggest thing is this is

260
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: our first initial release that we're starting the year with

261
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: and really trying to take as much fan input that

262
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: we got over the past season how to make the

263
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: app better. And so I think you're gonna end up

264
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 1: seeing a lot of new features that are going to

265
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: be rolling out as the season years. That hopefully makes

266
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: this the Fantasy Up, the NFL's Fantasy Up, the best

267
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: fantasy platform to play on. Yeah, and uh so, a

268
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: few things that we know, and I've been pushing for

269
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: this for a long time. Apologies to Marcus because I

270
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: know he's not a fan, but uh, we are finally,

271
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: we are finally PPR. Damn it. And that's the way

272
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: it should be. That is correct. All of our public

273
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: leagues in our standard uh. When people set up new

274
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 1: leagues will begin with default rules being PPR. I think

275
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: that was an adjustment that we saw a lot of

276
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: our league started to switch to that rule. UM. And

277
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: also I think it's fun, more points, more players matter.

278
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: It should make the league's more interesting. I mean, and listen,

279
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: DFS is PPR, High stakes is PPR. I mean other

280
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: platforms out there, big platforms are have already been PPR. UM.

281
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: It's just it's the new standard at this point. So

282
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: obviously I'm pleased with that. And I think the other

283
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: thing too is for people that had played in standard leagues,

284
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: your rules will stay the same like that, nothing changed.

285
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 1: If you want to keep your standard league, that's still

286
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: an option. We're just making the default. And Graham Barfield

287
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: wrote a great article. I tweeted it out. Graham tweeted out,

288
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: so make sure you check that out about what the

289
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: new scoring system means to you, although I'm guessing that

290
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: most people who are I mean have been in PPR,

291
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: you've probably come across the PPR. So a couple of

292
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: other changes from the scoring rules perspective is that UM,

293
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: the default tiebreaker is now points four instead of head

294
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: to head, which is what it should be because what

295
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: is the purpose of playing fantasy football? Score points? That's

296
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: to win by scoring points, by scoring points to win games.

297
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: How do you win games? You outscore your opponent with

298
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: scoring points, but if you don't beat your opponent, then

299
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: you didn't win the game. A good point points lots

300
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: of points and don't win games. I think we pointed

301
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: into a point and part of the switch has been

302
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: a lot of just confusion. I think the head to

303
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: head can be confusing because you don't always have every

304
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: team has played each other, and you run into scenarios

305
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: that the head to head is always not a clear

306
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: understanding of which team is better. Points kind of takes

307
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: out the UM you know, the misunderstanding or some teams

308
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: are easier. And then we also now have a scenario

309
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: where if you have an offensive skill position player who

310
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: is a punt returner kick returner for his team, so

311
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: you know say Antonio Brown runs a kickback for the

312
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: Raiders for seventy five yards and scores a touchdown, you

313
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: get the six points as an Antonio Brown owner, and

314
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: that will save made a lot of really angry sweets.

315
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: The Raiders defensive special teams, although who's gonna own the

316
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: Raiders defense special teams, they would also get the six points.

317
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: So yardage no touchdowns, yes, yes, and uh yeah, I

318
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: think that's it was again to solve a lot of

319
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: con user confusion. I think people expected those points. Um.

320
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: And again for people that don't want those points to matter,

321
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: you can change your rules and you have your league

322
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: with the rules and settings you want. And I think

323
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: that's the big thing gets I guess remind people is

324
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: that things are still customizable. We've sort of changed the default,

325
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: but if there are things that you prefer that your

326
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: lead prefers, you can still go back and change them. Exactly, yeah, exactly.

327
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: And um. Also, keeping mind, guys, you know you're going

328
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: to download the new app, there are a lot of

00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: I can't say anything because coval Will will give me

335
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: a backhand, but I mean there's one in particular. Just dude,

Speaker 1: think we're really excited. The team is really excited about

356
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: those changes. Uh. Marcus and Fabbs have provided some of

357
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: the ideas that made this way into the app, so

358
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 1: they're the ones to blame, but really really excited to

359
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: get every you know, our users feedback and really try

360
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:46,960

361
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: the fans playing on our platform. Cool. And I think

362
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: this was this was big for us because listen, I

363
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 1: ain't gonna sugarcoat stuff. A couple of years ago, Apple

364
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: was crap, right, it just was good. Um, I had

365
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: problems with it, You had problems with it. A lot

366
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: of people have problems with it. Has good points. Uh,

367
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: but I'm telling you, guys, and I get it. You know,

368
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: part of the fun of Fantasy Football is playing on

369
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 1: an app that's uh, that's creative, that is full of

370
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: content that works correctly, that has a lot of options

371
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: and a lot of features. And what we didn't do

372
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, we're doing. Now check it out.

373
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna love it. There are features that no one

374
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: else has, nobody, nobody out there that we have on

375
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: this app coming out, and you're gonna want to see it,

376
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: and I promise you it's gonna be worth it. But

00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: the shout out to like you and your whole team,

378
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: because yes, yes, you have really worked yours for the

379
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 1: last couple of I mean, like, there's a lot more

380
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: guys than I can mention, maybe and and and col

381
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: Ball and we love him here this he's a fantasy player.

382

Speaker 1: He rich for the Packers. So all the Bears fans

383
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 1: out there crap on social media if you want to,

384
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: but uh, awesome work, awesome work. We can't wait for

385
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: for the app to be out. Uh in its entirety.

386
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: It's so since you're here, yes you are a Game

387
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: of Thrones dude, Game of Thrones fans. So that just

388
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: leads us right into like, let's let's do this. A

389
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: lot of people actually just fast forwarded right to this

390
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: point because apparently we've been told we were one of

391
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 1: the better Game of Thrones podcasts out. Similar to how

392
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: the Game of Thrones fast forward through the entire they're

393
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: going too fast forward to this point. So all right,

394
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 1: here we go. Week six. The Iron Throne. It is

395
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,959
Speaker 1: the series finale of Game of Thrones. We finally learned,

396
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: or at least we thought we were going to learn

397
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 1: who was going to sit on the Iron Throne. In

398
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: the end, no one sits on the ice. Danny got close.

399
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: She touched it. She don't even have to actually sit

400
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: on it, right, this is her life's dream, and she

401
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: touched it, but never actually got to sit on the

402
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: iron thing. It was it strange that like maybe the

403
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: most h I guess, the most pressing, the most impactful

404
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: social commentary, and that whole episode came from a dragon.

405
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: What about how the pursuit of the throne corrupted and

406
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: into this? The dragon basically said, hey, humans, you guys

407
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: are idiots. Okay, everyone who goes after this throne turns

408
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: nuts or dies or kills a lot of people. Guess what,

409
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: I'm our burnest thing to the ground. Dragon was right,

410
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, he was, But I feel like it

411
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: wasn't like, yeah, here here's my problem. I had a

412
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: lot of problems with this. So and Eddie jumping because

413
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: you're a guy here with us, you know, you guys jumping.

414
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: So the first like what you say thirty five minutes

415
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: or so. I liked it. I'm in I'm digging it. No, well,

416
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: you know the most part, For the most part, I

417
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: felt like maybe because it was just so inevitable, like

418
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: the Narris's death just didn't have the emotional impact I

419
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 1: wanted it to write because we all, I guess we

420
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: all knew it was coming. We all sort of knew

421
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: how we're going to happen. And and a lot of

422
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: people made this point too, How is it this she

423
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: just wandering around the throne room by herself, like no security,

424
00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: nothing like that, nobody. I mean she basically wiped everybody out. Yes,

425
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, not seeing the fallout of john

426
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: snow actually killing her either was brutal, like I needed something,

427
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: not just him to show up and sell and like

428
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: turn himself in something please. So when he was kissing her,

429
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: if you look at his face, he looked like someone

430
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 1: who was kissing his aunt and knew it. He did

431
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: not want to be kissing her. He definitely knew it.

432
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: And so then like you kind of hear like the

433
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: sound of the you know, the blade going in, and

434
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: then you're like, oh damn. Like me and my girlfriend

435
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: were like, well he killed her We're like, okay, yeah,

436
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I don't know that it made the impact.

437
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: You know, it's your plan, but if ib me, okay, okay.

438
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: Was like watching the Patriots win another super Bowl. You're

439
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: like yeah, and then the Dragon comes in and you

440
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: think he's gonna maybe kill John but he's a Targearians.

441
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: So the Dragon somehow instinctively knows you don't mess with

442
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: the Targarians. There your people. Uh and then he burns

443
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: the throne. I loved it, I said yes. And then

444
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 1: where they went after that was the dumbest. It was

445
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: just awful. It was awful. It was like Jerry Seinfeld

446
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 1: and his three pals being in a prison cell at

447
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 1: the end of the finale of Signs. What the hell

448
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: is going on? I mean, listen, even Aaron Rodgers, who

449
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: was in I don't even I still don't know what

450
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: cha where he was. Aaron Rodgers whoo pooed this finale. No.

451
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: I love the show and I and it was a

452
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: great ten years but uh no, I mean he'd come

453
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: down to the end and Tyrian says, the person with

454
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: the best story is Brand, who, by the way, three

455
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,479
Speaker 1: episodes ago, said he wasn't Brand Stark anymore. John had

456
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: a better story, Danny had a better story, Already had

457
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: a better story, Sons had a better story, Tearing had

458
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: a better story, Varius had a better story, Braun a

459
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: lot better story, Jamie better story, Zercy probably better stories.

460
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: Any Barrati in better story? Did he really throw a rift?

461
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: And that's when it's like really bad? Right, here's the

462
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: thing though, here's my thing, here's my last theory about it.

463
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: If brand the three eyed Raven, who who's you know

464
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: all about the health of the realm, Let's think about

465
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: what he did. He basically wanted to throw at all time,

466
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: because he's the one that told the Starks, knowing that

467
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 1: Sonza would tell Tirian, knowing that try would talk to Varis,

468
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: know when they'd scheme for Danny's death, knowing that would

469
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: kiss her off, which led her to be the mad Queen.

470
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: So he the entire time kind of set this whole

471
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: thing up. And then he goes, oh, yeah, I don't

472
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to be king. Oh but why did

473
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: I travel all this way to be here? No? I

474
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: love the opportunity to be in the show, which most

475
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: people probably don't think I was, but I was there.

476
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: I love the show, but you know, the writers are

477
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: also doing Star Wars, so I think they might have

478
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: been a little busy this last about that these guys

479
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: are gonna Star Wars. Aaron Rodgers weighing in, Yeah, and

480
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 1: you're right, we still don't like everybody put up the

481
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: gift with the guy getting flame, that was that was him.

482
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 1: Then there was the thought that he was like a

483
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: guard or somewhere, and Archer that I googled it because

484
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: you're talking about it off there before, and I found

485
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 1: it's like a split second scene he was like supposed

486
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 1: to be help. It was a scene where Ario was

487
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: running and he was helping a woman and then he

488
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: kind of like ditches the woman and just like runs away.

489
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: Video there. If you google it, there's a couple of

490
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: websites that like did a deep dive and actually found

491
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: it because he gave an interview I think to like

492
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: extra and you could like match up what he was

493
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: wearing with that. Um, I could send you guys the links,

494
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 1: but you could barely see him. Send it to us,

495
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: but he was indeed there him calling out the dude

496
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: that got burnt on fire. Like that's the other part

497
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: of the clip that that's saying that the guy that

498
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: got lit on fire that was everyone thought was him

499
00:24:55,160 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: was very unathletic. Was no reason that it's clearly not him. Uh, okay,

500
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: So brand the broken I know, Fabs, you didn't like it. Andy,

501
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 1: You're you're okay with I think brand makes sense. I

502
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: just didn't like and by the all the points you

503
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: guys brought up before, I totally agree with it. Was

504
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: kind of corny with the like the dragon realizing stuffing,

505
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: like the dragon is supposed to be smart, but really

506
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 1: how smart? I think there were some There were some issues,

507
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: but I do think like brand makes sense to be king.

508
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: But the way they got there, I think was kind

509
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: of messy and totally are always they could have tweaked

510
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: it like I would have. Um, you know, my biggest

511
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: issue is that John. The story is about John ultimately

512
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: is the Song of Ice and Fire. John's ice and fire,

513
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: and it's like, Okay, see you later, dude. Just go

514
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 1: to the forest up north where nothing is going on

515
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: anymore and no one seems to know the importance of him.

516
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: The whole the major part of this story was R

517
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: plus L equals J and now that's useless. So I

518
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: thought that the best way to fix John and Brand

519
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: at the same time was for them to be as

520
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: silly as it was for a prisoner, and Terry and

521
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: who was told to shut up, then decides the phase.

522
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: I think that was sort of weird there was at

523
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: but if he's going to do that anyway, it's like, well,

524
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: then how about he says, like John should be the king,

525
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: like he he shown all these things. And then John

526
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: comes out and says, I really don't want to be it,

527
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: but my brother should be it, or my half brother

528
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: whatever he is to now because he's not a true Stark,

529
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 1: let Brand be the king of the six kingdoms. That

530
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: makes people feel a bit better about Brand because he's

531
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: being appointed by John. And then John says him he

532
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 1: decides himself, I'm just gonna go north with Torment and

533
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 1: Ghost and hang out with the free folk, and then

534
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 1: I'm I feel a bit better about both. The problem

535
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: is with John going north. It seemed like he was

536
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: super upset, like he did not want to be there

537
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: and he was miserable going up north, and it was

538
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: like the only chance to get him to live, and

539
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: I'm like the whole he saved, he was really he

540
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: fulfilled the prophecy and he saved everyone and no one cares.

541
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: And then now it's just like this, I don't know,

542
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 1: kind of strange. I have a strange feeling after I'm

543
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: not super upset and not super in the middle, but

544
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 1: so like, ultimately the fate of John Snow is determined

545
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 1: by gray Worm. Gray Worm's stupid. That was group I

546
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 1: did sort of I did sort of wonder, like, why

547
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: is gray Worm taking all this authority now that the

548
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: Nearest is dead? Like, like who, who? Who put you

549
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: in charge all of a sudden That was just dumb.

550
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: And then the whole thing with like the council there,

551
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 1: that was dumb. If you told me a decade ago,

552
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: a character named gray Worm, who is supposed to be

553
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 1: like a like a non speaking character who's just a

554
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 1: member of the Insulid army is a really big factor

555
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 1: in the finale of Game of Thrones. It was stupid, man,

556
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: I honestly would have felt better if the moment, you know,

557
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: if here's my here's my fantasy, my fan fiction rewrite

558
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: of that, right, John kills the Nearest. Gray Worm comes

559
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 1: into the throne room, sees what happens, and then just

560
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 1: like snaps and kills John. That to me would have

561
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: been more acceptable than kind of the way it played out. Um,

562
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: that's what's supposed to be. Like George always wanted a

563
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: bitter sweet ending. I think that's a good way to

564
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,239
Speaker 1: end it. Two So I think, so here's here's my

565
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 1: one problem. So when I first watched it on first watch,

566
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 1: I was just kind of like and then what I

567
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 1: you know, sleeping on it and the next day thinking

568
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: about it when I think frustrated me is that Game

569
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: of Thrones has never been a happily ever after show,

570
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: and so many people kind of got a happily ever

571
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: after right, Like Tyrian gets to be, you know, leader

572
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 1: of the small Council. Again, Brown comes in as Master

573
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 1: of Coin, which doesn't seem really fit his personality, but whatever,

574
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, I was glad Sons that kind

575
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,880
Speaker 1: of got a good ending. Although by the way, one,

576
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: okay one, I'm glad that they laughed at Sam's idea

577
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: of democracy, because if it really turned into Election of Thrones,

578
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: I was going to be really upset. So I'm glad

579
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: they laughed his his his democracy idea out of the building.

580
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 1: But also when they go around everybody's like I I

581
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: and the Sons is like, yeah, you know what, we're

582
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: gonna back out. I was like waiting for somebody else

583
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: be like wait, wait, we can do that, like I want.

584
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: Which is a bad plot point too, because Dorn's been

585
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: trying to be free for like ever, but like so

586
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: until like the winter Fell wants to go back to

587
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: being what they were, I've been like, hey, wait, wait,

588
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't know that was an option, Like wait,

589
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: I want to I want to vote again. You know

590
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: that didn't Yeah, that was another thing too. I'm thinking,

591
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, well, winner Fell, they can back

592
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: out with everybody else that now it's just you know,

593
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: six kingdoms. I think they follow the whole bitter sweet

594
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: ending with the Starks. This the story is ultimately only about, really,

595
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: but the bitter sweet part of this they have they

596
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: kind of a happy ending in the fact that they're

597
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: the ones that survived, but they're all separated. So like

598
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: Aria is going west to her wolfs. Dire Wolf's name

599
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: was Nimeria, and Nimeria in the show isn't over being

600
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: the biggest traveler, and so she's like following in the

601
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: footsteps of that. So she's going west of west Eros.

602
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: And then you have John, who is now King of

603
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: beyond the Broken Wall or the King of the North,

604
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: so upright north of North. And then Son's Queen of

605
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: of the actual North. And then you have brand who's

606
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: you know now the king in Kingslantic. So they're all

607
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: in a good spot, but they're not. They're not the

608
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: star children are not together in Winterfell as one. They're

609
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: all kind of like broken apart. So I think that's

610
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: like the bitter sweet aspect of of that, which I

611
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: think they got. I just again, I'm okay with each one.

612
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: It's just like there are little tenny things they could

613
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: have changed and making more believable and making are the

614
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: regular fans more accepted, and then like Terri and basically,

615
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: you know, as a punishment sending John to the Night's Watch,

616
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: they don't need a Knight's Watch anymore. Then the army,

617
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: the dead's gone, the wall has been destroyed, there's there's

618
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: you can't have children. If I was John, I'd be like, hell,

619
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: I can't, what are you talking about? Well like, and

620
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: who is trying? I don't know, as I don't think

621
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: that was sort of the implication though at the very

622
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: end with John going north of the wall with Torment

623
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: and the rest of the free focus just this idea

624
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: that like, sure you told me I gotta go to

625
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: Castle Black, but who's up here to really chick? You know,

626
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: like who's gonna who's gonna make me stay here? So

627
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: he kind of guts go and live his life, and

628
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, too bad Egrey is no longer

629
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: with us. They did kind of hint dead like the

630
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: whole that conversation he had with Tearing about like we'll

631
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: see in ten years about like what like how brands

632
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: doing and stuff like that they will see each other,

633
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: and I guess it might be a possibility of John

634
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: being able to do what he wants. Like they kind

635
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: of did hint at that, but they didn't do a

636
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: great job of being like, so you're going north and

637
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: this you have to do now it's just like like

638
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: you said, what is there up there to do? It

639
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: would have been I mean, some people I said this

640
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: if they showed like a y walk our resurgence and

641
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: that get starts all over again, that's one thing. But

642
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: I don't I don't like, I don't get what the

643
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: purposes of him being there, because there is no more

644
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: threat in the Free Folk are now you know, kind

645
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: of united with the North, so there's no threat on

646
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: either front. Um it was it was kind of messy,

647
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: like they the very important little details that they used

648
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: to be really good out in the earlier seasons they

649
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: kind of just gave up on in the last two

650
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: seasons or so. I see, I would have rather them

651
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: not actually had anyone end up on the iron throne,

652
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: you know which, And I mean, and then we can

653
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: kind of then we could kind of figure for ourselves

654
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: almost like the Sopranos ending happens. Look at the guy

655
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: who brought his own share. So it's fine. I just

656
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: I was bummed out about that. I mean, I do think, okay,

657
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: So hypothetically, right is Brand Will Brand be a good

658
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: king because I don't know that he's necessarily a good

659
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: king because he's very passive about everything, right, like things

660
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: happen and he's like I have to go now, and

661
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 1: he works away to somewhere like in the moment, like

662
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: I need you to make a decision. I can't have

663
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: you just flying. I love that he build on the

664
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: first council meeting, he was basically like right back to Jeoffrey.

665
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: Jeffrey just bail right away and yeah, send him Roy.

666
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: It was just yeah, it just it was like, I

667
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: don't know, he'll give Rand to pass because all the

668
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: previous kings that we've seen, and even the ones before

669
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: the story, they're all it's all there's always violence coming on.

670
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: And that was the big thing with John was to

671
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: send John away so the unsullied and the dath Racky

672
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: don't kill him. And then it's another war where Sons

673
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: now has to defend her brother and it's a whole mess.

674
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: So like Brand's purpose is to just keep peace everywhere.

675
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: So I think he will be good because he has

676
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: the ability to go back in time and see what

677
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: went wrong, and he has the ability to going forward

678
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 1: in time and see what's going wrong. He has the

679
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: ability now to use his ravens and kind of know

680
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: what's going on in this region and that region. So

681
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: I think in terms of that, Brand makes a lot

682
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: of sense. Plus, like, again, he's a Stark. It's one

683
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: of the probably the most powerful family and maybe beside

684
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: the Targetrians in history. And he has like the lineage

685
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: thing where he had his father was great and his

686
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: his grandfather and uncles are all great rulers and people,

687
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: so I think he they're trying to They didn't do

688
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: a good job of this to show that he would

689
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: be good, but I think you're supposed to kind of

690
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: assume that he will be a great leader. I'd rather

691
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: have seen John on the throne, even if it's begrudgingly,

692
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: because he was the one man that everyone believed in

693
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: that would have been better. And then you make you

694
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 1: make you make brand you know that the master of

695
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: whisperers who better. Halfway through the by the way, halfway

696
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: through the episode, I actually wanted John Snow to die.

697
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: I did, like literally, like at what point turned that,

698
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: like once you find out he was going to then

699
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: I watched him like you just want him to die

700
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: early on, right, like here does you just seeing your

701
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: crazy pants girlfriend slash aunt burned down a whole city, right,

702
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: you've seen it with your own eye. Then you heard

703
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: her make this like just crazy pants speech about how

704
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: we're going to liberate the rest of the world, right,

705
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: and like you've seen this happen it. Terrien's like, bro,

706
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: you gotta do something, and he's like she's my queen.

707
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, come on, come like you gotta let it

708
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: go right, And I mean he finally like did his

709
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: due diligence or whatever. But it's like, come on, bro,

710
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: like you can't really still be holding onto like the

711
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: this is this is my queen. You just can't it

712
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 1: just it just made me angry. And I'm like, you

713
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: know what if you if you get birth, if you

714
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 1: get like, I'm not gonna feel bad for you at all.

715
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: I was strictly in the camp that John was not

716
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 1: going to die at all. And then watching the beginning

717
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: of that episode when John was still like when you

718
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,479
Speaker 1: had the conversation with Terry and saying that I I'm

719
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: I'm with her, like she's my queen, I'm like, oh man,

720
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: he's really not gonna realize what she's doing. And then

721
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,240
Speaker 1: they were setting up they had this couple of shots

722
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: of Aria like looking up at where Denis was and

723
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: like where John was standing behind her and tearing earlier

724
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 1: on the episode, and I'm thinking, like, she probably has

725
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: one more kill left in her, and i think, like, wow,

726
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:44,439
Speaker 1: if John stands by her, and like maybe she's gonna

727
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: have to take like take them both out and making

728
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 1: some kind of crazy like in her family murder thing

729
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: and then Sonsa just becomes named click she'll come down

730
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: later on the episode because of Varius wrote the letters

731
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: and Sons's name queen. And then there's the wheels really

732
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: not broken, the iron throne still stands, and then like

733
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,280
Speaker 1: you know, Drogon just flies back to Valeria or wherever

734
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: the dragons are going to hang out, and then that's

735
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: that's how it ends. And I thought that really would

736
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: have been a possibility. And then obviously he you know,

737
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: he stabs her and then fulfills the prophecy, which, like

738
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: they kind of throughout the books was the thing. So

739
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: he he really is the prophet and it fulfilled it.

740
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: And then he's just but he didn't want to become king.

741
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 1: He wanted to just become He's just prince, like the

742
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: prince that was promised, and it did live up to that.

743
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: Did you? Did you also notice and I mentioned it

744
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: last week, the parallel of Star Wars, So Danny is

745
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: Annakin Skywalker and John Snow is Amadella. And when John

746
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 1: goes John goes into the throne room right where the

747
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 1: iron thrown a sitting. He's trying to convince her not

748
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,359
Speaker 1: to go in the path that she's looking to go,

749
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: which is the same thing that that that now did

750
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 1: to uh Anakin. And ultimately she couldn't change his mind,

751
00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: and whatever happened happened, and ultimately John couldn't change Danny's mind,

752
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 1: and in this case, you know, he ended up he

753
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: handed up killing her. So and then we have the

754
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: two writers from Game of Thrones who are going to

755
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: be uh writing or whatever one of the new Star

756
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: Wars movies. So it always comes back to Star Wars models.

757
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: It always comes back to Star Wars. How many cycles

758
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 1: will this uh, you know, council of elites electing a

759
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: king will last before Well that's the part that's like

760
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: when I was like, it just takes the next person

761
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: that can have kids, right, and they're like, no, my

762
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: kid is staying out of the throne, especially if you

763
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: have like the biggest army, if you have got my

764
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: kids on the throne, Like, now what come get me? Exactly,

765
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: it's ultimately, like the story progresses in our minds or

766
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: whatever they may or may not do. I know that

767
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: you know that the books are still being written or

768
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: will come out. Ultimately, human beings end up destroying each other.

769
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: I mean, like that's kind of what it is, so ultimately,

770
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: at some point in the future, someone's gonna want that

771
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: throne that Brand holds, and that's gonna end up leading

772
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: the war and it will happen all over again. So

773
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 1: you're never really gonna have peace because human beings are

774
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 1: what he That's very similarch. That's like a Sopranos Taiebetting though,

775
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: where they go where it cuts the black and you

776
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: because David Chay's whole point is well, in that moment,

777
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if Tony lives or dies because eventually

778
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 1: his life is pretty much a hell and it probably

779
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: will happen. It's like Thron's ends. At that moment. It's

780
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 1: like we're Brands in charge and he has Tarrian helping

781
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: out and Bron and the whole councils there and everything's

782
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: cool and peaceful. But there might be a time where

783
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 1: Dorn's like, yeah, you know what, we want to rule.

784
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: The Seven Kings don't have our family that like, they

785
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 1: definitely could happen. So, speaking of the Sopranos and Game

786
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: of Thrones, obviously the the consensus is that this was

787
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 1: not a great finale. So it did make me think,

788
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 1: what is the most disappointing TV show finale, and this

789
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 1: this can be our poll for the week. You know,

790
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: we did a social poll last week, which, by the way,

791
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: what do we get the results? And I have it

792
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 1: right here in front of us, So do you guys

793
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: have a guess? So which one one it was the

794
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,720
Speaker 1: the the poll and then I guess it wasn't Sante

795
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 1: because that was more of like a stretch, funnier kind

796
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: of option. So it was through the greatest hell turn

797
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 1: in history. And it was option one Denarius Targarian, Option two,

798
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 1: Anakin Skywalker, Option three Hulk Cogan joining n w oh,

799
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: and then the fourth one is Satan. We already I'm

800
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna go with Hulk Hogan just because that

801
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 1: seemed to be the responses I actually got, I mentioned

802
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: that would be the one that I would also guess

803
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: hul Cogan was the overwhelming Victoria's number two was Anakin

804
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: actually edged out generous two, and then Satan got a

805
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: nine percent our pole. We had over a thousand votes. Okay,

806
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,919
Speaker 1: so this week the most disappointing TV show finale, Game

807
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: of Thrones, the Sopranos Seinfeld or Dexter. Yeah, for me,

808
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: Dexter was stupid. I was off. I'm so glad. Actually

809
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 1: I actually tapped out the season before him. Do you

810
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: know what. I watched Exter That's really bad the final season,

811
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,240
Speaker 1: and I didn't watch it, but then I, like everyone

812
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: freaked out about and then I had to look into

813
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: it to see what actually happened. I weirdly like what

814
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: Sopranos and Seinfeld, So I'm fine. I didn't mind because

815
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 1: any TV show that ends with ny is fine with

816
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: me because I love Journey. That the sign Feld the one.

817
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it was dumb, but Dexter was definitely

818
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 1: worst act. I think is that takes the number two

819
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 1: spot of that and the other one, uh Sopranos, and

820
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: I'm fine with the one. The one thing that that

821
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: made me in retrospect feel better about the Sopranos. I

822
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: remember a good friend and I were talking about it

823
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: and he made the point, He's like, you know what

824
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: if the show think about it? The show was just

825
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: meant to depict a period of Tony Soprano's life, right

826
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 1: like we started the show. We didn't start the show

827
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: at the beginning of Tony Soprano's life. We came in

828
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 1: he was already Tony soprano, he was already you know,

829
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: in the mob, he was already seeing a therapist. Like,

830
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: we didn't start at the very beginning, why should we

831
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: finish it at the very end. It was just and

832
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,919
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh yeah, I feel kind of better about

833
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: I don't get why people need to have the finite

834
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: ending of seeing him they're diere seeing him live there

835
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 1: because like then you can when you're gonna ever end it.

836
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: And that's a great point. And I think that being

837
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 1: said though, I think whenever a creator, a creator of

838
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 1: a show us to come out and explain why it

839
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,399
Speaker 1: ended the way it did, you probably don't want that,

840
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: But I do get why people were anger at the

841
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 1: time that and that was like going a pre like Internet,

842
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: I could you imagine? Could you imagine the finale with Twitter?

843
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,959
Speaker 1: And like, what the hell is that? Like my TV

844
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: cut up? I'm repealed back home my TV cut the

845
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: first time the first time I saw it, I'm like, wait,

846
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: what so so then we'll put that on Twitter. You

847
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: guys can vote about it the most disappointing TV show finale.

848
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: If there's another one that isn't in our our four here,

849
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: feel free to you know, hit us up, and I'm

850
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 1: sure what about Lost to Right? I never watched you

851
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 1: know what. I I wanted to catch up. My sister

852
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: watched it, and I started to want to catch up,

853
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: but then it just seemed like a show that like

854
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: people had a love hate relationship with and I to

855
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: a point and it lost me. Didn't That wasn't of

856
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 1: the thank you you want to do? Wasn't that a

857
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: casualty of the writer strike? Isn't that what happens? Yeah,

858
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: the writer strike. I think it's uh, it crippled a

859
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 1: lot of really great shows and crippled that show at

860
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: crippled community. Uh it heard a lot of really good

861
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 1: shows a writer strike. One h one quick note here,

862
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 1: that's back to uh. NFL and Fantasy football. Ian Rappaport

863
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: tweets out that Commissioner Roger Goodell says that Tyreek Hill

864
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 1: uh is currently um in a court proceeding and quote,

865
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 1: we will not interfere with that. The priority here is

866
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: the young child uh end quote. The NFL will speak

867
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,879
Speaker 1: with Hill as soon as possible. So we still don't

868
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: have very much clarity, but there is a court proceeding

869
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:32,439
Speaker 1: um and uh hopefully we'll find out sooner than later.

870
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 1: What the actual final um decision is going to be

871
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 1: with him. I've I did that PF draft, as I

872
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, and I don't know that I think he

873
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 1: was still available in the seventh or eighth round. Yeah,

874
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: I think, um so so even certain people in the

875
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 1: in the fantasy football world are not expecting him to

876
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: be the uncertainty is is really just kind of hanging

877
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 1: over Yes, yeah, ye, anyway he might. Thanks for us
