But how about that Cavon Thibodeau, one 7 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: of the most iconic, infamous guests in the history of 8 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 1: the show, having a superstar moment um that that is 9 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: just that adds more juice to the squeeze. Mark from 10 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: our interview years ago or months ago, I should say, yeah, 11 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: it feels like, um, yeah, it feels like yesterday. The 12 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: interview felt like it went on for years at yes, yeah, 13 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,840 Speaker 1: and we did. We asked him, um, if he surmised 14 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: after having spent an off season, you know, he's a 15 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: very new to the NFL with coach Brian Dable, who 16 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: was new to the Giants, whether he thought that Brian 17 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 1: Dable was would operate typically characteristically as a big spoon 18 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: or a little spoon, and he refused to go down 19 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: that avenue. He was offended by the questioning that wasn't 20 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: the only thing that rubbed him the wrong way, and 21 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: I was pulled aside by a high up booker in 22 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,119 Speaker 1: the company. Is it, hey, man, what happen that interview? Wait? Really? 23 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 1: Oh yeah? And this is after two great interviews where 24 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: I really established like a great rapport between Cavan and 25 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: the group, got him in the flow of things. But 26 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: they say they're gonna wait till I go to Japan again. 27 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: And then Greg kind of lives in his own reality 28 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 1: sometimes I think went out of his ready fun to 29 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: kind of let you know that he wasn't your friend 30 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: as I recall right acquaintances. You know, it's weird. I 31 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: talked to him at the super Bowl. Once I leave this, 32 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: you guys are gonna feel like you know me. And 33 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: it's not because I'm I want to. I want to 34 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: be you guys as friends. But it's because I'm you 35 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: do want to be problem don't But I don't. I don't, 36 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: I don't. He had so much personality when I talked 37 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: to him last February, I don't know, And he had 38 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: a lot of personality. Sunday night, during his postgame pressors, 39 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: he was dropping Jimmy. He's like Muhammad Ali on the mic. 40 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: This guy So if you if you combine that level 41 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,679 Speaker 1: of play in New York with that charisma, can it 42 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: take you places? It will, and it will take you 43 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: back to this studio next June, very quiet time where 44 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: we make things right. And I don't I don't want to. 45 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: I don't mean to be exclusionary with that, Greggy. If 46 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: you want to be a part of it, absolutely, but 47 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: it's almost like unfinished business for Mark and I personally 48 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: with cavan Um Justin was there like watching the car 49 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: crash from the other side of the glass. It's a 50 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: bit of a personal issue for us. I mean, I 51 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: have friends who are you know, longtime friends who are 52 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: Giants fans who just texted like just a question mark 53 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:45,519 Speaker 1: after being like everything, okay, bro, I want to just 54 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: bridge to the gap. I think I'm not sure you are. 55 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 1: I'm sure I would look at you as a brief 56 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: I'm Switzerland is now going to bridge to the gap. 57 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: I see that that's not really her. In retrospect, it 58 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: was maybe the greatest winner ever. Yeah, we leaned to it. 59 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: It lost so hard that it ended up winning all right. 60 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: A lot to get to today, Um, we have without 61 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: further ado Connor or to discuss the elite Um Hallmark 62 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: Lifetime Christmas and Holiday movies that you need to see 63 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: and you cannot miss that segment. And he might say, 64 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: I'm a football guy, I'll turn that off. Do not 65 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: turn off that segment because you're you're gonna miss something special. Yeah, yeah, 66 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: you Geeka. We also are gonna preview t n f 67 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: H Big One Jaguars Jets from the Meadowlands And a 68 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: little fun announcement at the end of that preview is 69 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: that a loser goes home match. No for the Jets, probably, 70 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: but not for both. I think the Jags even have 71 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: a little legal room given the Titan struggle justin basically, 72 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: whoever wins the Week eight teen between Jags and Titans 73 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: will win the division. It almost doesn't matter what happens 74 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: because because like excuse me, because of tiebreakers, if the 75 00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: Jags win, they'll be two and Ogan's Titans all the type. 76 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: If the Titans win that game, they'll have a better 77 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: division record, so they'll win the typereak. I mean, if 78 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. If I were the Titans, I'd take 79 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: two weeks off and get health either if lose two games, 80 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: So it's a mini playoff game. They're both not totally out. 81 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: It's like a little playoff primer. Yes, and that's not 82 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: what people thought back in week three or four, by 83 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: the way. So we end up getting a good game 84 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: on Thursday night. Also, we're gonna do some news before 85 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: we do that again.

So 89 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: before we move into the news, Harry Ruiz, who calls 90 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: games for um raiders H Radio network in Spanish, Uh, 91 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: let's see if his voice cracks on the infamous Chandler 92 00:04:51,839 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: Jones snatching score Stevens Stevenson, ain't I seeing Rana Kobe 93 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: Myers seemed to make the chanler changing jan jan jan 94 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: u pstaa is that to the kitchen, to the house 95 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: of the house, to the kitchen, to the kitchens to 96 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: the kitchen pivt mean something different? Buses something on this. 97 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 1: He loves writers basblet hell, they study other figures them. 98 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: Probably why does everything sound better in Spanish? Really? I 99 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: was just thinking that it really rolls a beautiful. We 100 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: need that one word in the next we need that 101 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: for us. Let's do that. Let's let's know the top 102 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: to America. Easy, Greggy Easy. What we're gonna do is 103 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: we're all gonna we're gonna go dark during the summer. 104 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: We're gonna become bilingual and come back and mark this 105 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 1: one you'll love. We'll do every show in English and 106 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: then we'll take a break, we have a cup of coffee, 107 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: then do the same show in Spanish. I just double up. 108 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: And I think it's a service getting a bigger audience. 109 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: I mean, if we were more aware, we would have 110 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: learned Spanish about twelve years ago, if we really understood 111 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: how this country we're all learning Spanish like no one's 112 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: going to learn Jersey took it. We have a little base, 113 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: We have a little base. I took it as a kid, 114 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: you know's gonna learn Latin actually just in case Arabic 115 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 1: dead language, and I from Spanish to Latin in high 116 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: school because it was supposed to be easier and it was, Uh, 117 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: don't do that, kids, it's useless. Spanish would have been 118 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 1: bakes on fire. If you are if you are a 119 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: young person listening to this um go learn Spanish if 120 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna end up in locker rooms, especially like in baseball, 121 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: for instance, or many other sports or whatever. Get that. 122 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: Don't do Latin. No, that's a stupid learn another language, 123 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: full stop. Your s A T. Says, who I don't remember, 124 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: take and put it there. All right, let's uh. And 125 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: then my uncle Bill I always used to say, and 126 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: he was right. He said, you gotta take as many 127 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: business and economics courses as you can. And my uncle 128 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: Bill also said, what's the last form letters of American 129 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: I can? So I know what this guy knew is stuff. Um. 130 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: He also shot free throws underhanded and was very good 131 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: Bob Cuzy style. So I feel like I should have 132 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: taken more economics and business courses would have helped us 133 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: in our career if we had more business. So I 134 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: didn't take one, not even one. So missed that boat too. Anyway, 135 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: forget about the regrets we gotta have to get to. 136 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: We ended up Okay, Yeah, look at us now, plenty 137 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: of econ overrated.

Well, Greg and I were pushing it every 169 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: like that may be funny, they would like it, but 170 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 1: it felt like a tough day for the Titans fans. 171 00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: In the Graver family, we don't want to. We had 172 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: a lot of rate football to recap on Sunday. Down 173 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: with that. You know, we know who you are, and 174 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: many of our listeners do, and I do love you. 175 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: Justin thanks. I think you're very studious looking too and 176 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: good looking. Attractive man. Let's get to it, UM. Interesting 177 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: scenario here around. Jalen Hurts the quarterback of the thirteen 178 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: and one Now that's what they are, goodness, thirteen and 179 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: one Eagles. UM. He scored three touchdowns on the ground 180 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: in their latest win. He also threw two interceptions in 181 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: the game for the first time this year, and then 182 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: we learned on Monday that he suffered a shoulder sprain 183 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: potentially related Connie to h throwing issues, and his status 184 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: is in doubt for weeks sixteen against the Cowboys and Connie. 185 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: We we we hit on this a little bit on the 186 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: Powering this podcast, which everybody should check out. But it's 187 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: a bit of a delicate dance here. Now for the Eagles, 188 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: you have Gardner Meanshoe as the backup. You have something. 189 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: You have a little bit of cushion here with the 190 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,959 Speaker 1: Cowboys based on picking up another game in standings UM 191 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: on Sunday and also the first head to head matchup 192 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,319 Speaker 1: win earlier this year, and yet finding that balance between 193 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: rest and your guy and winning that number one c 194 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: That's a tough one. I hate it. I hate it all. 195 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: What's going to happen right before Christmas? Come on? Um? 196 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: You know, I think that obviously the news that it's 197 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: not a collar bone is good. That's positive to hear 198 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,959 Speaker 1: that it's a sprained shoulder instead. They're not ruling them 199 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,959 Speaker 1: out yet, but I doubt that they play him, and 200 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: I don't think they should play him at this point. 201 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: I think that they should be careful with him. They 202 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: need him down the road. And what we talked about 203 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: on the Power Ranking Show earlier was the fact that 204 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: I'm worried looking into the playoffs now about the fact 205 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: that he the most improved part of his game this 206 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: season is his downfield passing, and now I'm wondering how 207 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: this will affect that, because having that in combination with 208 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: the way that he can move on the ground is 209 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: why they have been able to find so much success. 210 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: They're lucky that they have a good offensive line um, 211 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: and of course we have another fast healer. At this point, 212 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,839 Speaker 1: let's hear from Nick Sirianni, who didn't rule out Hurt's 213 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: playing even this week. I don't put anything fast Jalen 214 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: hurts Um as far as his mental and physical toughness, 215 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: so there's a chance he could play this week. He 216 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: heals fast, he's free. His body is not like part 217 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: of me, yours or mine, right, And so I'm shaming 218 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 1: myself there a little bit too. His body is not 219 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: like ours, you know. I love about Nick Sirianni, by 220 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: the way, one of the many things is that he 221 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: looks like a guy that would be belly up at 222 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 1: the bar at Patti's and always sunny in Philadelphia, except 223 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: he's seeking modest there because we saw him at the 224 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: combine and he's he's kind of a specimen. He's in 225 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: great shape and a big dude. He was like, I 226 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: think the whole coaching staff was having a competition over 227 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: the off season to see who could have the least 228 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: amount of body fat. So, yeah, that checks out like 229 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: that coming. That's a little different than like the eighties 230 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 1: and the head coach ranks. With the Hurts injury, though, 231 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 1: if you could pick a scenario for him to hurt 232 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 1: his shoulder, which is terrible, this is it. The Cowboys 233 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: blowing that game against the Jaguars, Bloom is a massive. 234 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: The Eagles have the Saints and the Giants next, so 235 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: you can still get Hurts back in the regular season 236 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,199 Speaker 1: for one or both of those. If you want your 237 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: magic number to get the one seed, here is one. 238 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: So you can just let Gardner Minshew start this game. 239 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: There's a chance they win this game with Gardner Minshew certainly. Uh. 240 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: And if you don't, all you need is one more 241 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: win or one more loss. Room Cowboys, you're basically killing 242 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: time for the next month, and so you don't have 243 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 1: to worry about. I'm with you. I mean, I guess it. 244 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: It would hurt his m v P chances, But I 245 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 1: don't think the Eagles or Jalen Hurts are two wet 246 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: round up in that. Like it's that would make a 247 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: lot of money for Jalen Hurt but but special You're right, 248 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: I bet he wouldn't want to come back. I don't 249 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: know if the team would listen to that. It doesn't 250 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: sound overly serious, and like the Philadelphia inquired a report 251 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: that it would probably be shelved him for two weeks. 252 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: We'll see if that's even the case. But I mean, 253 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,040 Speaker 1: I don't see, and then you then you probab We 254 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 1: said everyone with the place they're in week eighteen, so 255 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: it's possible we don't see um to the playoffs. The 256 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: one thing that worries mailed that is like, I don't 257 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: like any player team that takes this big break before 258 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: a playoff. I'm more worried now because no one else 259 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 1: is concerned. That to me is alarming and we would 260 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: never find out what the reality is with this shoulder 261 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: spain no matter what. But like everyone's saying, no, it's 262 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: not that serious. He could play I buy that. I 263 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: buy if it was a playoff game, he'd be playing 264 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: this week. But if it was more serious, we wouldn't know. 265 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: He would change a J. Brown pass after the injury. 266 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: That's true. That's true. In other news and other quarterback news, 267 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: injured quarterback news, Matthew Stafford who you last saw geez 268 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: three or four weeks ago? Now the messis era. I'm 269 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: on the sideline trying to be too cool and a hoodie. 270 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: Last night, I was like, how many layers are under 271 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: that hoodie? It was like five degrees out there. You 272 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: think he needs to be in the big overcoach. He 273 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: was so cold, like like he he looked like he 274 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: was shivering, Like he's calling the players and he's like, 275 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: look the but that's what I mean. I was hoping 276 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: there's some stuff underneath it. You have the heated leg 277 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: pants suit, right, and that was it feels like five degrees. 278 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: I don't care. You need some Here comes telling us 279 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: how everyone needs to dress and look, that's a hair product. 280 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. Matthew Stafford, Yes, he is on. I 281 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: R deeply disappointing for the Rams who. By the way, 282 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: and maybe you heard this or maybe it didn't um 283 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: the Greg Rosenthal Monday Night Football podcast. That's the title 284 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: that it is. By the way, um that the Rams 285 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: have already tied the NFL record for the most losses 286 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: for defending champion at ten. Also the earliest the defending 287 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: champion has been eliminated from playoff consideration. I don't know 288 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: if that's a record, but it's close tied it and 289 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: they're the worst. Uh So, Stafford a lot of thoughts 290 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: about his career. He has been banged up through the years. 291 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: Of course, he won the MV Super Bowl, MVP, he 292 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl? What else does he have to prove? 293 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. In general, we haven't heard from Matthew 294 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: Stafford until he appeared on the Morning After podcast with 295 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: Kelly Stafford. Yes his wife. Kelly asked in a straightforward 296 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: uh nature, are you retiring to her husband, to which 297 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: he said, UM, so he'll be back. Will he be 298 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: back with the Rams? Maybe? Maybe not? Well? Where else 299 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: would he be back? Any place where? Maybe the Rams 300 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: could trade him if they want to go. Why wouldn't 301 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: they Why wouldn't the Rams, who are steaming towards a 302 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: four and thirteen season not consider trading a guy that 303 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: just won the Super Bowl and recouping serious assets to 304 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: begin a rebuild in earnest because and who you're pre 305 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: supposing that he wouldn't be open to a trade also, 306 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: I am yeah, But wouldn't teams be concerned about his 307 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: injury history too and the way that this whole season 308 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: played out and the fact that the elbow was an 309 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: issue even before the Rams traded for him. Well, there's 310 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: there's always one team out there that would consider it. 311 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: They would have a fifty million dollar capit two if 312 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: it was before June one, so they would have to 313 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: wait until the offseason. I've heard speculation, you know, Stafford 314 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 1: and Aaron Donald, the situation in terms of them playing 315 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 1: or not could be different if they were, you know, 316 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: in a competitive situation this year when you we heard 317 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: spinal Cord is like, oh, that sounds troubling. You know. 318 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if anyone or everyone believes that it's 319 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: like the most serious injury ever that they're actually kind 320 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: of looking at Donald and Stafford not playing as a 321 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: sign that those guys will be back because they're thinking 322 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: about saving them for I think part of the issue 323 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: is you've got to almost do a Cincinnati Bengals esque 324 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: offseason attack on the offensive line. And you got to 325 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: convince Matthew Stafford that you've got a second and third 326 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 1: round pick and then a bunch of six round picks. 327 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: That's all you got. You go into next the next offseason, 328 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,360 Speaker 1: you're five plus million in the red on the cap. 329 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: I know the cap doesn't matter, but that's not a 330 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 1: great situation. And if so, you're right, if you ever 331 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 1: try to move Matthew Stafford, you can't do inning financially. 332 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: So how do you get these resources? How do you 333 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: rebuild a line that's shattered and not run They want 334 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: to run it back. That's the big term from last year. 335 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: You don't want to run this back, No, you do not. 336 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 1: In other news, h Taylor Heineke is obviously a um 337 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,880 Speaker 1: figure that's very popular with Commanders fans. They despite the 338 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: difficult nature of Sunday Night's loss, they still earn the 339 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: playoff chase, and yet the head coach is keeping it 340 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 1: open that Heineke might lose his job still to Carson Wentz. 341 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: Rivera said in his press conference on Monday that he 342 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 1: may have to think about a change at quarterback as 343 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 1: Washington attempts to get off the mat after that defeat 344 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: at the hands of the Giants. Mark, You're shaking your head. Well, 345 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: I just feel like Ron Rivera has never had a 346 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 1: likable buy in solid planet quarterback in Washington. Um, he 347 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: was lucky had Cam Newton were There were a lot 348 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 1: of questions about that and Alina, But I don't really 349 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 1: understand why Ron Rivera would need to even float this 350 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: so that we have to discuss it, because I get 351 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: the tail of Heineke is I'm perfect, but I am 352 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 1: not nearly in the realm of thinking that Carson Wentz 353 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: is this automatic, massive upgrade. I mean, I think that 354 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: Heineke at least has an immense buy in from the 355 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 1: people around him. There's no perfect solution. They don't have. 356 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 1: They don't have a great answer at quarterback. Um, go switch, 357 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: go switch, and go put Carson Wentz in and then 358 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 1: watch that thing goes south and answer questions about that 359 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: next week. Well, he's Kineki is starting against San Francisco. 360 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: But him throwing that out there would indicate to me 361 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: there's a chance Wentz plays in that game. If shine 362 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:42,199 Speaker 1: Key struggles, I think it's Salian Rivera, you know, with 363 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 1: the playoff spot on the line recognizes that Heinek has 364 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: probably been the luckiest quarterback in the league, like PFF grading, 365 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,479 Speaker 1: only Zack Wilson is worse than him. This year. No 366 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: one has thrown more h had more turnover worthy plays 367 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 1: in the league. You know, per snapped than Heineke, and 368 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: that he probably thinks Wentz is a little better, and 369 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: in a vacuum, I would agree, But it just seems 370 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 1: crazy with this team the way it's gone to do 371 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: you feel like anyone in the locker room. Once Wentz 372 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: suddenly start, I think the thing is now. Rivera has 373 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 1: the option of using Wentz because last week was the 374 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: first game that he was active since breaking his finger, 375 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: so maybe now he's actually available to play. And if 376 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,679 Speaker 1: Heineke keeps turning over the ball, or if they just 377 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: keep kicking field goals instead of scoring touchdowns, then maybe 378 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: he does have to go to Wentz. Went In the 379 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: Tasom Hill roll, Wentz is like too proud of a 380 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 1: guy to ever do it, But are you kidding me? 381 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is the perfect Tasom Hill Jeff Driscal second 382 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 1: quarterback to rotate in and now like that's the best 383 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: part of him. He's not really a quarterback, but he 384 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,880 Speaker 1: throws it. Well that's fine at this point. You take 385 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: doesn't care about that. I'm saying you use him as 386 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: a runner when they were a team that can't get 387 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: the ball in on the goal line and you have 388 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 1: a guy who's bigger than Cam Newton and is a 389 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 1: great goal line option as a runner. I'm just saying 390 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,719 Speaker 1: Greg once once as the sacrificial lamb. You don't think 391 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 1: you say he's too proud. How do you know that? Well, 392 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: I hope he's not. I hope start using miss Jeff 393 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: drisk will start doing a rotation that sounds like a 394 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 1: challenge Greg. He's on one today and decided to really 395 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 1: go ahead and start to take command of himself. Uh, 396 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 1: and too quick transactions. Sammy Watkins, who finally, by the way, 397 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: is twenty nine. I mean we've been waiting for Sammy 398 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 1: Watkins twenty nine years old for ten years. Uh. He 399 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: always seemed to be like twenty five. And you're like, 400 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:31,439 Speaker 1: well he's been in the league for ten years. Well, 401 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: and now he's twenty nine. Kind of looked like thirty 402 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: nine on the field with the Packers this year, not 403 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 1: a lot of juice and they cut the former first 404 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: round pick. He is going through waivers um and any 405 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: team can claim him. Jonathan Taylor also one of the 406 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: more disappointing seasons of any player this year. Always hurt 407 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 1: suffered a high ankle sprain UM and Saturday's lost to 408 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 1: the Vikings, and he has now been moved to I R. 409 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: So Taylor, who battled ankle issues UH for much of 410 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: the year, is done and um. Now the Colts can say, 411 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,959 Speaker 1: how do we get Jonathan Taylor back? Let's fix our 412 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: offensive one and find a quarterback, so a lot of 413 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: things to do. Taylor is not the problem there, but 414 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 1: this season was a problem for him, just like many 415 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,120 Speaker 1: other cults. All right, that's what's happening in the news. 416 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 1: Let's take a break and then we'll hit the Thursday 417 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:25,360 Speaker 1: Night preview. All right, welcome back. Let's get to Thursday 418 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 1: Night Football. And this Thursday Night Football preview is presented 419 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:33,920 Speaker 1: by Prime Video, the new exclusive home for Thursday Night Football. 420 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 1: The Jacksonville's Jaguars on a role, feeling good about themselves, 421 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:44,679 Speaker 1: quarterback ascending um and right behind those Titans. After a 422 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: big comeback win over the Cowboys travel to the Meadowlands 423 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: to face the Jets, a team that continues to be 424 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: competitive and compelling week after week. However, the winds have 425 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,199 Speaker 1: stopped coming and they are in desperate straits as they 426 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: welcome in Jacksonville. Mark, I'll start with you on this one. 427 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 1: It was announced officially that Zack Wilson will again start 428 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: for the Jets, as as Mike White and that rib 429 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: injury on a short week, it just wasn't in the card. 430 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,919 Speaker 1: So it's the number two pick, Zach Wilson against the 431 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: number one pick, Trevor Lawrence, and uh, right now that 432 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 1: tilts heavily towards the visitors. Yeah, I kind of feel 433 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: for Zach Wilson that that's going to be the endless 434 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 1: talking point during the game and at every sort of 435 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 1: juncture point, and whenever Zach Wilson does, it's like we 436 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: kind of get it. I mean, if you're watching these games, 437 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 1: we get that these two cool quarterbacks are in very 438 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: different spots and so let that be um. I really 439 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 1: look at the Jets team right now. They were five 440 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: and two, seven and seven, and a lot of missed opportunities, 441 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: and I mean it's just like each and every one 442 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: of these games, you know that fourth and one spot 443 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,479 Speaker 1: last week against the Lions and bang a huge touchdown occurs. 444 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 1: It's like there's little inflection points for the Jets where 445 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 1: early in the year they were winning those games and 446 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: now they're falling apart. I wanted to see this defense. 447 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: I think this is a great game for a very 448 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 1: good Jets defense against a like second year quarterback, against 449 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: a team that's under a first year head coach. They're 450 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 1: playing really well to generate some takeaways at home in 451 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: a big spot. They have one takeaway since Week nine. 452 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 1: They've got the guys to do it, and I know 453 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: that Sauce Gardner is gonna essentially make it a ten 454 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 1: on ten ten type game. Um that doesn't matter so 455 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: much against Jacksonville because I mean, they have some weapons, 456 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 1: but it's more just like find a way to make 457 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,399 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence uncomfortable. That's still a possibility in this world. 458 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,479 Speaker 1: And this is a game that if you're the Jets, 459 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 1: you lose this, you lose a lot of things on 460 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: the perception game too. It's Trevor Lawrence thing. It's one 461 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: team that's no one believed in going north in another 462 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: team going south, the Jets, And so I think this 463 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: is a huge pivot point for a team and essentially 464 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,199 Speaker 1: spells their season right here. Yeah, they probably have to 465 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: win all three to make the playoffs. That they certainly 466 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: have to win two out of three, and the Jaguars 467 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: are one of the teams they could be tied with 468 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: in a scenario in the wild card too. Potentially it's 469 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: possible for Tennessee and Jacksonville again, so they'd have the tiebreaker. 470 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: I find this game extremely tough to pick. I feel 471 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,439 Speaker 1: like the consensus is gonna go with the Jaguars this 472 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,239 Speaker 1: week just because of how the two teams have been 473 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 1: playing lately. But the point spread is about even. I 474 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: think the Jets are one point favorite. You always like 475 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 1: to be on the other side when when everyone's pushing, 476 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: and I could kind of see the Jets standing up. 477 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: The Jets are better overall team in my mind than 478 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,360 Speaker 1: the Jaguars. And I think it's a different Zack Wilson. 479 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: Like I don't think we know the Zach Wilson's story exactly, 480 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: because his game last week to me, was so different 481 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: in shape than almost the entire rest of his career. 482 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: If that had been the Zack Wilson we had seen 483 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: for most of his rookie season. I think you could 484 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 1: at least see it, like see who he is. He 485 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: had six big time throws in his previous sixteen games, 486 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: so about the most milk toast quarterback out there. On 487 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 1: top of all the mistakes he made inaccuracy. In this 488 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,919 Speaker 1: game against the Lions alone, he had five big time throws. 489 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: He threw a lot more on rhythm. Sometimes he missed 490 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: those throws on rhythm by quite a bit, so there 491 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 1: was like a lot of down. I don't think he 492 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 1: had like a good game, but I thought it was different. 493 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 1: He was a little more on time, and you saw 494 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 1: some talent and if he can get more help like 495 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 1: a running game, and you mentioned the defense, then I 496 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,880 Speaker 1: think they have a decent shot, right, That's what I mean. 497 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:18,640 Speaker 1: But last game, he got nothing out of his defensive game, 498 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: and his tackles weren't playing well either, like their passwords. 499 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: I guess I'm saying that Zack Wilson showed me a 500 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: little more in that last start than any start of 501 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: his career. So you're right, because he was attacking down 502 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 1: field and connected with Garrett Wilson on a few plays 503 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 1: and even getting as frenetick as it was on that 504 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 1: last possession, um he made some great throws to just 505 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: keep them alive and give him a chance for that 506 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 1: field goal. That said, it was an extremely erratic performance 507 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: from Wilson, and it was one that he threw. The 508 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 1: one interception he through was a terrible read where he 509 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: misread the coverage and just floated a past that was 510 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: easily picked off on first down with a clean pocket 511 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 1: and Garrett Wilson flashing open as Elijah Moore is double 512 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: covered in his zone, and it was just like, oh man, 513 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 1: this guy is killing us, and he he misses too 514 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 1: many throws. And yet yes, you have some hope based 515 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: on his ability to keep his eyes down field and 516 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,880 Speaker 1: make some throws that you didn't see in previous weeks. 517 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 1: So we'll see. So that's the thing. Like, I'm just 518 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 1: happy that it's no longer the Jaguars, like now that 519 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 1: they've won two straight, it's the Jaguars um. But this 520 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,360 Speaker 1: defense the past two weeks, they've been playing really well. 521 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: They've been getting these big plays. They played the Cowboys 522 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 1: really well. They picked him off twice, four turnovers against 523 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: the Titans. Grave Digger. I mean, I'm a little worried 524 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 1: about their offensive line though, that is that's the thing 525 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 1: that could really get them because they're left tackle Cam 526 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: Robinson he's likely out for the entire season. And then 527 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: their right tackle Dwan Taylor, he's dealing with a hamstring injury. 528 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: He's gonna play. Um but this that could be something 529 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 1: to watch in this game. Um but it's so tight 530 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 1: right now in that division with the Jaguars one game 531 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 1: ahead of it. Tight and to your point mark about 532 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 1: the turnovers, that is the one thing that the Jets 533 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: are missing right now. On defense, Carl Lawson has got 534 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: to make a big play. You need to get hit, 535 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, you need to knock the ball out. Quinn 536 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 1: and Williams, I don't know if he's playing a short weeks. 537 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: At least they sound like they're helpful. Calf thing is tricky. 538 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: I could see them pushing him into the line of 539 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,439 Speaker 1: because the game is so important, and then you just 540 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 1: hope that the calf holds up. He needs to be there. 541 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: They it's got to be kind of all hands on deck. 542 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 1: And just one thing I want to point outcause I 543 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: wanted to point it out on Sunday that Sauce Gardner 544 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: could be first team All Pro cornerback this year, Sauce 545 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 1: Gardner wasn't even involved on the screen on Sunday because 546 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 1: the Lions in their game plan. Ben Johnson, who we 547 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: respect and could be a head coach candidate, said nope, 548 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 1: we're punting on that side of the field and DJ 549 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: sharks just not going to be in this game. And 550 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: that's incredible that that's where Sauce is this at this 551 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: point in his career. So maybe he makes a big play, 552 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: maybe did you DJ read, Somebody's maybe c J. Mosley. 553 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 1: Somebody's got to help the offense and create short fields 554 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: because the offensive line has been struggling for weeks and 555 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: Zack Wilson can't do it alone. I mean, I I 556 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: just think also that if you're a Jacksonville Jaguars fan 557 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: and you're forty years old, this is a different day 558 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: for you. It's it feels the way for Jets fans 559 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: if they had a quarterback. Can you imagine the Jets 560 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,239 Speaker 1: with Trevor Lawrence had that things flip somehow and they 561 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: had that. I mean, Trevor Lawrence over the last month 562 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: has completely evolved and changed and it's like you don't 563 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: have a bunch of bad parenting going on in the 564 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: coaching staff like a year ago, and you see how 565 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 1: quickly he advanced. Yes, producer, I just, oh my god, Mark, 566 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: you make a great point there about how things canna 567 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: flip because today is the two year anniversary of the 568 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: day that Frank Gore sealed the Jets win over the 569 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: right to to think that I defended you. You're not 570 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: allowed to talk for the So you've been punished, you're grounded. 571 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: I was looking, I'm sorry being the grounding because it 572 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 1: involves Frank Or, Like you know, we haven't the show. 573 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: Have you read about Frank Or recently? Um, what as 574 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 1: a boxer? No? Well, Frank, you know, check the blodder. Right, 575 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 1: I guess I should say, right on the wrong side 576 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: of history to Sorry, what a what a great coaching 577 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: match with though Peterson. Doug Peterson has kind of been 578 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: in his bag lately, Like he owned Dan Quinn in 579 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 1: that game. Like they had a stretch of plays where 580 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: they were so far ahead of what the Cowboys defense 581 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: was doing in terms of misdirection everything going against Robert Salad. 582 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: I think there are spots in this Jet Jets defense 583 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 1: to attack up the middle. That's where they like throwing 584 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 1: and that's not where Sauce Gardner will be. Where it's 585 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 1: like Jordan's Whitehead and Will Parks and their linebackers, and 586 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,959 Speaker 1: that's where Kristen Kirk tends to rome and Za Jones, 587 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: and I think you'll see a lot of that. So 588 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 1: it's a great coach. This is one of the best, 589 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: most interesting games of the year, I think because Check 590 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: in the Middle Company, we we agree with Mike McDaniel, 591 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: Like December football, it's a build up to this. These 592 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: are one of the These are two of the teams 593 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: that have kind of changed who they are all season 594 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: and it's been building to this and now it's like 595 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: you get to find out who's the video. It's good. 596 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 1: Sometimes I feel like it's it's a body swap comedy 597 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: where the Jets where the feel good um also ran 598 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 1: team that is like charged into relevance, and now all 599 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 1: of a sudden, the Jaguars have kind of taken that spot. 600 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 1: That has to be a little frustrating for you. Well, 601 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: the good thing they play because I think I'm picking 602 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: the Jets in this game. Should I feel good about that? 603 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 1: They've been a very tough team to pay you, I 604 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: would be very I would be very wary of picking 605 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: Zack Wilson in a primetime game with a lot of 606 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: I gotta feeling it's a bum he is, all right. 607 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 1: That was the t NF preview presented by Prime Video. 608 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: The new era of Thursday Night Football is officially here, 609 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: and it's only on Prime Video al right. Oh and 610 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: by the way, this is a little treat hopefully for 611 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: the listener. Keith and Debb. My parents are in town 612 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: staying at the house through Christmas. It will be father 613 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: and son handling the TNF recap on Thursday, me and 614 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 1: Keith from handsas manner breaking down Jets Jags, and I 615 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 1: promised you Jaguars fans that I will give I will 616 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 1: tempt talking balanced and fair coverage towards your jacks if 617 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: you come out on top of this. But yes, me 618 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: and my dad will break down t n F. No 619 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: Friday fund show this week. We're gonna hit it up 620 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 1: on Thursday Night. A couple of things. I think that 621 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: you would not be the broadcaster that you are um 622 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 1: without your dad and probably what your dad talked about 623 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: in the household as a child. I think that's just true. Secondly, 624 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: any parent figure that swoops in and gives us Friday 625 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 1: off will be shipped. I mean multiple bottles of wine. 626 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: So I am a big Keith fan. There you go. 627 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: I'll let him know that you said that. I hope 628 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: he will. Well, I'm a min it.

That's turn. It's a 657 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 1: huge turns. It's something that I'm very excited about. But 658 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,360 Speaker 1: I have to brace everybody else for it because I 659 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 1: think we're used to so much murder, and then when 660 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 1: you go straight into like November one, we're we're Hallmark 661 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 1: in Lifetime Christmas all the way through uh the end 662 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 1: of the year. So it's uh, it's it's it's a 663 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 1: good transition, but it's a tough transition. That's unbelievable. Connor 664 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways literally and one thing and 665 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: maybe as a way before we get into a couple 666 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 1: of recommendations for our audience. And I've checked because some 667 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,359 Speaker 1: of the ones you sent me, I watched one of them. Um. 668 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,879 Speaker 1: I made sure to check that these are all streaming, uh, 669 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 1: and anybody can get them. Um, did you want to 670 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 1: touch on what are the two kind of themes? Should 671 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 1: we do that organically during the conversation? Do you want 672 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 1: to use that as the bed before we get into 673 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 1: the feast? Here we can, we can get into it. 674 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,720 Speaker 1: So I've kind of conveniently broken this down into actually 675 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 1: four genres dan um of and the fact that almost 676 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 1: all of them hit these notes are are really incredible. 677 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 1: And so the first is that, Um, your husband is 678 00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:00,319 Speaker 1: better than you think he is. Basically, there's a woman 679 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 1: who gets a mystical wish granted and wakes up in 680 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,320 Speaker 1: another life where she gets to marry the and and 681 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 1: there's been a several of these. So the hot art dealer, 682 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 1: the hot sports writer, there's a woman the sportswriter. I'm 683 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: not kidding, And naturally holiday switch would you recommended starting 684 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:21,319 Speaker 1: Nicole Edgar two thousand seven, just that scenario. She goes 685 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 1: through a washing machine and comes out the other side 686 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 1: married to an art dealer and realizes she realizes that 687 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 1: the she love husband back in her poor life is 688 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 1: the man for her. And I thought that was unless 689 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 1: a lesson that, you know, the ladies can learn from. 690 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 1: I can't believe she didn't go through a dishwasher for 691 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 1: a refrigerator or still written by a guy getting angry. 692 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 1: All right, so that's one theme. Okay, your husband is 693 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 1: better than you think he is. I don't mind that one. Yeah, 694 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,880 Speaker 1: and I'll just so the sportswriter one though, I'll just 695 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 1: close it this. It's very funny that the moral of 696 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 1: the story is like, oh, like she's like, god, I 697 00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 1: wish I knew what life is going to be like 698 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,239 Speaker 1: if I married this sportswriter and made it seems so 699 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,759 Speaker 1: glamors right, and then she ends up regretting it because 700 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 1: she's like, oh, he's a jerk and he's on his 701 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 1: phone the whole time. And it's like, yes, that's that's 702 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:14,720 Speaker 1: very true. Most of us. It's like, honey, sorry, I'm busy. 703 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 1: Albert Brier is calling. Yeah, I'm never home. I work 704 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 1: every weekend and I have a slight gambling habit. Sorry, 705 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 1: Merry Christmas, okay. Theme two is I'm I'm a big 706 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 1: shot coming back to my small hometown and it's time 707 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,800 Speaker 1: to focus more on Christmas and marry the girl in 708 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:42,719 Speaker 1: high school I overlooked. And is the gender switch here? 709 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,680 Speaker 1: Is it also sometimes the woman as well who's successful 710 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 1: and comes back and says, well, that's not what life's about. Correct, 711 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,239 Speaker 1: So that that would touch more on Christmas and Tahoe. Uh, 712 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:57,239 Speaker 1: And so this was a very powerful female marketing executive 713 00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 1: who came back to Tahoe to save the family's Christmas hotel. 714 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,439 Speaker 1: And uh, she hooks up with her ex boyfriend who's 715 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 1: a musician, and they put on a Christmas spectacular that 716 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:14,200 Speaker 1: saves the hotel. And who who is that actor that 717 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,840 Speaker 1: portrays in the musician Connor? Or well, it's not the 718 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 1: actor that portrays the musician. There's a bell hop in there, 719 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:25,760 Speaker 1: played by the lead singer of Train. And my question 720 00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 1: is how did the lead singer and Train make time 721 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,479 Speaker 1: to shoot this film when he's playing every NFL event, 722 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:34,919 Speaker 1: pregame shows and whatnot. He was he was so good. 723 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:38,399 Speaker 1: H he delivered an Academy worthy performer. I'd like to see. 724 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,320 Speaker 1: I would like to see like the film that happens 725 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,360 Speaker 1: a year later after powerful figure goes back to small 726 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:47,400 Speaker 1: little um misty hometown gets swept up in this emotional drama. 727 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,360 Speaker 1: Then like a year later like wait a minute, totally 728 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:54,600 Speaker 1: wrong decision. And also want to know like how bad 729 00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 1: an actor is the lead singer from Train that he 730 00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 1: couldn't be the lead guy who's the musician? Probably you 731 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,440 Speaker 1: had to prepare for like the two thousand fourteen NFL 732 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 1: kickoff from San Francisco, probably Conny. And that's another one. 733 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 1: That one. Again, these are hitting some you know, uncomfortable 734 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,320 Speaker 1: pressure points in terms of what are they telling the 735 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,799 Speaker 1: women watching this to do that your career doesn't matter 736 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 1: and the only thing that actually does matter is having 737 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,560 Speaker 1: a family and making that family happy. Is that right, Connor? 738 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:28,120 Speaker 1: Pretty accurate? Now, now you're making me seem like I 739 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: came here from the Patriot News Network. I like these 740 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,239 Speaker 1: because they're very easy storylines to follow, and I'm not 741 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,840 Speaker 1: a smart person. That's that's but do you but do you? 742 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,040 Speaker 1: Will you allow Connor that there is some of that 743 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:46,240 Speaker 1: messaging baked into it, perhaps at a largely female audience. 744 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:51,280 Speaker 1: I mean, that's why you're seeing Candice Cameron Bray, who's 745 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,040 Speaker 1: sort of the Meryl Streep of Hallmark coming under fire 746 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,359 Speaker 1: for some of her She's got some hot takes when 747 00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,360 Speaker 1: you kind of unleash. Yeah, it gets a little scary 748 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 1: on I think the certainly not take endorse the entire 749 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,919 Speaker 1: network is probably aimed at people who have already made 750 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,759 Speaker 1: these decisions, who are cemented in them and must just 751 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:09,840 Speaker 1: to be confirmed by the film that they made the 752 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,600 Speaker 1: right decision. This all makes me a little nervous because 753 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,960 Speaker 1: constantly my dad is telling me around this time of 754 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 1: year that I need to go I need to leave 755 00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:22,600 Speaker 1: NFL network and go work at the Hallmark channel as 756 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,880 Speaker 1: an actress or I don't know what he thinks I'm 757 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:27,520 Speaker 1: going to do that. That would be great if you 758 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:32,400 Speaker 1: came for Candice Cameron Burret's crown is the Queen. Wow, Um, 759 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 1: I'm not sure I want to sit on that throne. 760 00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 1: All right? What's the third theme? Okay, so not not 761 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,759 Speaker 1: going to make calling any happier here, but Connor does 762 00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 1: not endorse any of these Colleen, Let's just be clear 763 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:52,279 Speaker 1: in the Christmas spirit. The third theme is I'm a 764 00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 1: humble bookstore owner, pie store owner coffee store owner, candy 765 00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,520 Speaker 1: store owner, Christmas store owner. And I'm about to get 766 00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,359 Speaker 1: and I'm about to get swept up by the hot 767 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 1: accountant coming to audit me. That sounds kind of like 768 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:11,000 Speaker 1: a porn Yeah, that's that's more straightforward. I think that. 769 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,960 Speaker 1: I think everyone could enjoy that. The whole family did. 770 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,360 Speaker 1: Your daughter Evelyn is getting older. She old enough to 771 00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 1: watch some of these movies we did. We all watched 772 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:26,320 Speaker 1: um a Royal Christmas together, which is that's the fourth 773 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 1: category of just straight up bangers, where you're just vomiting 774 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,239 Speaker 1: Christmas everywhere. You put the network's biggest star on. You 775 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,680 Speaker 1: spend a little bit of money and uh, you know 776 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:43,480 Speaker 1: Lacy Shavert from Mean Girls, who's in it? It's pretty good? Yeah? Yeah, 777 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 1: And what happens they're just getting together and having Christmas. 778 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,880 Speaker 1: It's got to be some drama point. Lacey Shavert is 779 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:54,000 Speaker 1: a humble Taylor's assistant who's dating her runned the mill 780 00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:57,560 Speaker 1: college boyfriend and then, surprise guys, her college boyfriend is 781 00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:01,960 Speaker 1: actually a prince of a small country, the old Switcher 782 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,840 Speaker 1: who being four. Yeah, so it's like coming to America. 783 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:07,680 Speaker 1: I don't get that. So all along she didn't really, 784 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 1: he just went through floated through high school as a secret, 785 00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:14,319 Speaker 1: secret royal, floating through college as a secret Any Murphy 786 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,560 Speaker 1: might be able to sue these screenwriters in that particular 787 00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,480 Speaker 1: reverse though. You know, she proved her real love for 788 00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,000 Speaker 1: him because she didn't know he was a print. This 789 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,400 Speaker 1: is all making me want to murder. So I know 790 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,600 Speaker 1: that Hallmark is murder and then Christmas, but for some reason, 791 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,400 Speaker 1: Christmas is making me feel murder. Is there I understand 792 00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:32,920 Speaker 1: that we want to get that out of you though? 793 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,320 Speaker 1: Is there a point in those films where there's a 794 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:39,480 Speaker 1: misunderstanding when it where it appears that the partner was 795 00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,320 Speaker 1: in it for the wrong reasons and he's like, no, 796 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,520 Speaker 1: but you don't understand. I loved you before I knew 797 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,720 Speaker 1: you were the prince. Like no, the the other romantic 798 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,440 Speaker 1: rival framed it to look otherwise, any of that dynamic 799 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,879 Speaker 1: going on, So it would kind of be the uh, 800 00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 1: the other thing that you would expect it to be, 801 00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:58,160 Speaker 1: which is Jane Seymour, who's the queen of this small nation, 802 00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:03,919 Speaker 1: doesn't accept Lacy and so then you know she has 803 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,160 Speaker 1: to kind of work her way into royalty. But also 804 00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,440 Speaker 1: like late, you know, Jane Seymour's got to eat a 805 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,640 Speaker 1: cheese steak because they're from Philly, and so you know 806 00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 1: there's back in Um. Can I just say the film 807 00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:22,480 Speaker 1: I watched Holiday Switched two thousand seven to Cole Eggert, Um, 808 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,120 Speaker 1: it's really made an impact. It actually kind of did. 809 00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,840 Speaker 1: And I sat down and watched it with my wife 810 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,840 Speaker 1: and when it was over, and I guess this is 811 00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:33,840 Speaker 1: the biggest endorsement I could give it, I felt a 812 00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:37,840 Speaker 1: little better. I am concerned for how did Emily feel she, 813 00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,279 Speaker 1: you know what, I think she kind of wasn't doing 814 00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,520 Speaker 1: a little bit too. And we had some fun watching it, 815 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,680 Speaker 1: you know, poking at certain plot elements or actors that 816 00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 1: were maybe a little outclassed. I think that's the fun 817 00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,600 Speaker 1: of the films for me, which is, yes, sometimes that 818 00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,080 Speaker 1: it's a shoe string budget, or it's an actor you 819 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,160 Speaker 1: haven't seen it in a while, and then bang they're 820 00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,160 Speaker 1: in a lead role. And for instance Eggert I thought 821 00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:01,959 Speaker 1: gave an excellent performance and Switch, I think she really 822 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,959 Speaker 1: nailed it. And uh, it's a reminder that, yeah, maybe 823 00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:06,960 Speaker 1: the gigs dry up, but when you get the opportunity, 824 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 1: you could shine. Thespian too. Maybe she's been working on 825 00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:11,920 Speaker 1: a craft behind the scenes. It's a little bit for 826 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,080 Speaker 1: those roles. Connor, these leads, they're pretty dramatic roles and 827 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,440 Speaker 1: their media roles in which they're the emotions are all 828 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:19,160 Speaker 1: over the place, and if you don't have the right 829 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,759 Speaker 1: person there, maybe that's why the lead singer Train was 830 00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,239 Speaker 1: stuck as a bellboy. He didn't have that dynamic range. 831 00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,759 Speaker 1: Well you listen to So I watched Christian Bailee give 832 00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:31,640 Speaker 1: a speech on sort of the way that he arrived 833 00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,600 Speaker 1: at some of his most famous characters, and I would say, 834 00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,400 Speaker 1: in Nicole Eggert's case, like there is no studying that 835 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,120 Speaker 1: you can do. This has never happened in life, and 836 00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,920 Speaker 1: so you have to just go head first and plunge 837 00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 1: into the washing machine. And you're not gonna know how 838 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,840 Speaker 1: it happens, and and it's all it's all feel and 839 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,040 Speaker 1: if anything, what what else is being an actor? But 840 00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,160 Speaker 1: but going with your heart and your gut. There now 841 00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,720 Speaker 1: there was there was there like a magical spin cycle. 842 00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,279 Speaker 1: She like spun it too far around own and it 843 00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:04,480 Speaker 1: landed on a crazy In an ideal situation, they would 844 00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:06,960 Speaker 1: have had a some type of interstitial where you see 845 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:10,399 Speaker 1: her traveling through dimensions. But they didn't the budget didn't 846 00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:14,000 Speaker 1: have that. So literally she goes in a crappy washing 847 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,920 Speaker 1: machine in a basement and comes out in a mansion 848 00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:18,880 Speaker 1: on the in a different way. You have to return 849 00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,080 Speaker 1: back through the other side of the washing machine to 850 00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,840 Speaker 1: get back. Because I've always wondered what is permanent press, 851 00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:27,040 Speaker 1: Maybe that's it. I would say. I would say, check 852 00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,520 Speaker 1: your settings closely if you're looking for an escape in 853 00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,759 Speaker 1: your life, and and look up Holiday Switch, which you 854 00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,839 Speaker 1: can get quite cheap on many streamers. I'm gonna watch 855 00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,040 Speaker 1: it tonight. See it seems like we could all make 856 00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:40,120 Speaker 1: that jump to Hallmark one day if we wanted to. 857 00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:42,640 Speaker 1: It's connor anything else you want to share before we 858 00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,520 Speaker 1: say goodbye. And this has been incredibly enlightening. If you 859 00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,959 Speaker 1: want to, maybe, whether here or through your social media, 860 00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,480 Speaker 1: let people know what films to target if they want 861 00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:55,640 Speaker 1: to go down this road. Uh, this is the opportunity. Okay, Um, 862 00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,480 Speaker 1: So I mean listen, it's Hallmark, right, So you just 863 00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,080 Speaker 1: turn on Hallmark and it's Chris this movies all the time. 864 00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,799 Speaker 1: You can't go wrong, and you know you you got. 865 00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,240 Speaker 1: You can come for the plot lines, but you stay 866 00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:09,920 Speaker 1: for the bones of each movie. Which are identical, right, 867 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,839 Speaker 1: which is that something happens. The couple drifts apart, comes 868 00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:17,480 Speaker 1: together at Christmas, shares one dry kiss, and then the 869 00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:22,440 Speaker 1: movie is over. And so that's it. And if you're 870 00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:26,720 Speaker 1: looking for bone dry um, and if you're just looking 871 00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:31,479 Speaker 1: for repetitive um, non thinking stuff, I mean it's great. 872 00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,800 Speaker 1: You know, I'll have Thursday one on one window, and 873 00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 1: then I'm gonna have you know, I'm gonna have my 874 00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,120 Speaker 1: Hallmark up on another window. It's gonna be great, Connor. 875 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:42,719 Speaker 1: It reminds me of this tweet the I saw over 876 00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:46,239 Speaker 1: the weekend. Um. This guy he he wrote that I 877 00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,200 Speaker 1: forced a bot to watch over a thousand hours of 878 00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,080 Speaker 1: Hallmark Christmas movies and then asked it to write a 879 00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:55,560 Speaker 1: Hallmark Christmas movie of its own. And um actually has 880 00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:57,919 Speaker 1: a script here. So do you mind if I share? 881 00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:02,080 Speaker 1: I would love to batique. Okay. So the movie is 882 00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:06,239 Speaker 1: called The Christmas on Christmas and this is from Keaton Patty. Um, 883 00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:08,480 Speaker 1: so you guys should all follow this person because um, 884 00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,680 Speaker 1: they are hilarious. Okay, So The Christmas on Christmas, UM, 885 00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,480 Speaker 1: and it takes place at a small town snow globe. 886 00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:19,720 Speaker 1: Brief Hilary, we see a single mother refilling snow globes 887 00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:23,480 Speaker 1: with Christmas juice. She is widow, her husband died in 888 00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:28,680 Speaker 1: every war. Single mother. I refill snow globes better than 889 00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:32,839 Speaker 1: Jesus claws. Yet still my twins are dad free. Why 890 00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:38,040 Speaker 1: they need double dad. Businessman enters the shop. He wears 891 00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:42,640 Speaker 1: clothes that cost money. His hands are briefcases. He's Hallmark Hot. 892 00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:47,840 Speaker 1: The single single mother says, Hi, do your snow globes 893 00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:54,640 Speaker 1: black wet, hurry Christmas attacks soon. Businessman has flashback to 894 00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,920 Speaker 1: when he was business boy. A Christmas tree explodes his 895 00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:03,200 Speaker 1: family on purpose. He now hates trees and Christmas and explosions. 896 00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:08,400 Speaker 1: He exits the flashback. Businessman says, shut your sound. I 897 00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:11,239 Speaker 1: am from huge city. I bought your land and I'm 898 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:15,400 Speaker 1: turning it into an oil resort. That's the antagonist. And 899 00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:18,360 Speaker 1: then the single mother says, rude behavior. This is a 900 00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:22,600 Speaker 1: family business. I sell families. I am widow. My husband 901 00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:26,400 Speaker 1: is now bones. Single mother points to her husband's bones 902 00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,080 Speaker 1: in the corner of the room. They are all gift 903 00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:34,600 Speaker 1: wrapped in eggnog. There's more, but I mean it is. 904 00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:38,120 Speaker 1: It's that's the best, the Hallmark Hot dad. I feel 905 00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:42,839 Speaker 1: like that's like Blake Shelton. I think it's a thing, well, 906 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,799 Speaker 1: it shifts from I feel like it's a fun kind 907 00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,880 Speaker 1: of identifier of where we're at society, right, because if 908 00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:51,440 Speaker 1: you look at movies from like two thousand seven and 909 00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:54,440 Speaker 1: then two thousand, like fifteen, and then two thousand twenty two, 910 00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,320 Speaker 1: the body type and sort of the desirability of the 911 00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:00,920 Speaker 1: person isn't is completely different, right, And they're sort of 912 00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,840 Speaker 1: adjusting with the trends and in the times, you know, 913 00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:05,800 Speaker 1: and that's what you need. You need to keep it. 914 00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:09,240 Speaker 1: Even in the world of Hallmark films. You gotta adjust 915 00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:14,440 Speaker 1: with the times. But the kisses always bone dry, bone dry. Connor, 916 00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:18,360 Speaker 1: you've said it all, Um, hit up, Connor if you 917 00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:22,200 Speaker 1: want some recommendations on Christmas films.

Friends. 922 00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:46,640 Speaker 1: Miss him, he's the best. We just have him in here. 923 00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:50,920 Speaker 1: We'll put him in the corner. I feel like that 924 00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:56,399 Speaker 1: was the eggnog rapping to come on and not even 925 00:49:56,480 --> 00:50:00,400 Speaker 1: have a hint towards football. That's what Connor wanted all along. 926 00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:03,759 Speaker 1: I think we needed that mark, and I would say 927 00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:08,759 Speaker 1: that maybe this Christmas season give one of those films 928 00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:12,320 Speaker 1: to try. In fact, Holiday Switch two thousand seven to 929 00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:16,560 Speaker 1: call Eggert and a man husband looks suspiciously like John Ritter, 930 00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:18,440 Speaker 1: to the point you look him up and it's like, oh, 931 00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:23,480 Speaker 1: we played John Ritter in an unauthorized threes Company film 932 00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:27,000 Speaker 1: from two thousand three. Writing down Holiday Switch Switch like 933 00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:29,160 Speaker 1: that could bring up multiple things on a Google search, 934 00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:31,280 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna will only bring up the two thousand 935 00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:34,600 Speaker 1: seven film. I hope, would Nicole Eggert, if you could 936 00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:36,960 Speaker 1: just watch it and let me know if anything, I'll 937 00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:40,239 Speaker 1: report back to if you feel from I am susceptible 938 00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,279 Speaker 1: to these That's why I'm curious. I think you could be, 939 00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:46,640 Speaker 1: because the pathos of the Egger performance does land for me. 940 00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:53,040 Speaker 1: I wrote it down, all right, I'm developing news. If 941 00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:55,200 Speaker 1: it's not about a Christmas movie, I am leaving. It's 942 00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:58,840 Speaker 1: a two frong story. The Ravens have claimed veteran Sammy 943 00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:05,840 Speaker 1: Watkins waivers on Problems Tuesday in part because or possibly 944 00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:09,840 Speaker 1: because Devin Duverne left practice on Tuesday with a foot injury, 945 00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:13,120 Speaker 1: and there is concern it could be significant. According to 946 00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:22,880 Speaker 1: Frank written all over it, she never takes a holiday off. Um, Harlott, 947 00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,879 Speaker 1: that stinks. I think the Ravens are cooked by the way. 948 00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:28,120 Speaker 1: I think this is going down a bad path. Did 949 00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:31,319 Speaker 1: you hear this kind of barely been playing lately? It's 950 00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:38,040 Speaker 1: been did you see Watkins into Seaun Jackson. That's someone 951 00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:41,040 Speaker 1: paper the outside of their facility with like fire, Greg 952 00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:46,040 Speaker 1: Roman Flyers their offensive coordinator. Um. And it was you know, 953 00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:48,759 Speaker 1: led to people asking John Harbor are you planning to 954 00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,399 Speaker 1: make any changes to your staff? And then someone else 955 00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:54,320 Speaker 1: on the staff actually instagrammed a photo of one of 956 00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:59,239 Speaker 1: the flyers before down with the past rusher? Uh did? 957 00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:05,160 Speaker 1: It's like, what are we done? It was unclear if 958 00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:08,640 Speaker 1: like he supported it, but he just said, okay, I 959 00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:14,880 Speaker 1: don't know child gang anyway. That's that's interesting, Sammy Watkins, 960 00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:16,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, man. I don't know if he gets 961 00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:20,520 Speaker 1: open anymore. All of my wives are bones. That is America. 962 00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,319 Speaker 1: But I must make money for my twins to live. 963 00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:27,640 Speaker 1: They are a prince single mother.

Santa cannot help. 968 00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:48,160 Speaker 1: She did not know, but Santa was her husband. Santa 969 00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:53,080 Speaker 1: is bones, bones help nobody. The bones are the money. 970 00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:56,879 Speaker 1: It was a dangerous plot twist. Santa's dead. Santa's dead 971 00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:02,120 Speaker 1: and his bones are wraps. Santa phones and all. No 972 00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:05,040 Speaker 1: longer just a mythical figure that breaks my brain reading 973 00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:07,719 Speaker 1: each of the sentence.
