[26] Today's episode is sponsored by Draft Kings.
[27] Stay tuned because you'll hear more about Draft Kings and all it has to offer throughout the show.
[28] Draft Kings, the crown is yours.
[29] I know everybody's excited.
[30] Football's back.
[31] Patrick Mahomes is still amazing.
[32] all the warm and fuzzies, but I have a complaint.
[33] Enough with the rule changes.
[34] Enough with the rule changes.
[35] Which ones?
[36] All of them.
[37] All of them?
[38] Take me back to football.
[39] I'm not even going to say 10 years ago.
[40] Give me back five years ago.
[41] Whatever we played with then, stick with that.
[42] Do you mean the rule changes or the rule reemphasies or both?
[43] All of it.
[44] Well, there is a rule change on the kickoff, which I loved when it was, They borrowed it from the XFL, and it was way better from the XFL.
[45] I'm not exactly sure if the kickers are kicking from a closer spot, but they want to incentivize more returns, and we're not exactly getting that.
[46] Roy and I were going back and forth a little bit in the morning, and that the pre -snap penalties for the Baltimore Ravens, this was a point of emphasis, and it really ruined the game flow.
[47] Yeah, all the penalties came up when the tackles were standing, as opposed to when they had their hand in the dirt, so it's like enforcement on net.
[48] Look, is the center belt buckle, the line?
[49] that they have to...
[50] Dude, here, all right.
[51] Like, what's going on here?
[52] It's been two and a half years of this, which Juan Taylor.
[53] Everyone watching at home sees this Chief's tackle, get off the line before the snap.
[54] Every single person sees this at home.
[55] I'm not crazy.
[56] He is getting an early jump.
[57] And he needs that early jump because he, not good.
[58] He's a not a good football player.
[59] Not a good of football player.
[60] Why can you turn Italian there?
[61] He's a not a good football player.
[62] Why do you turn it to the guy on the pizza?
[63] He's getting three -tenths of a second.
[64] He's getting three -tenths of a second jump on all these pass rushers.
[65] We see it every game.
[66] At what point, the NFL is like, okay, point of emphasis, illegal shifts before the snap.
[67] Cool.
[68] What about the guy that is constantly cheating every snap?
[69] What if it's just you?
[70] It's not.
[71] What if he's just got such an immaculate jump off the line every single time where he's like, he gets there before everybody else, and you're just seeing it a little different.
[72] Well, everybody in my house was seeing it different.
[73] My wife is like, is that guy getting off the line early?
[74] I'm like, yes!
[75] Yes!
[76] They're going to name the rule out to him.
[77] He's like the most triggering Taylor on a Chiefs broadcast, which is saying something.
[78] A tackle on a pass play is one of the funniest things in sports.
[79] If we just like made everyone else on the field disappear, just like the way they're standing, like awkwardly and then they're like, like, it's just such a ridiculous athlete.
[80] Like, that is what they do.
[81] Like, their main job is just to like, it's just so awkward.
[82] How bummed was everybody when that game got delayed till 840?
[83] Dude.
[84] I was fighting.
[85] Has it always been like that?
[86] No, no, no. There was lightning.
[87] 820's usual start.
[88] Yeah, there was lightning in the area, so they delayed the kickoff, and my eyes were heavy.
[89] I say this every year.
[90] Or every year, yeah.
[91] Like, I don't know how you guys do this.
[92] This East Coast time watching games.
[93] This is ridiculous.
[94] Ridiculous.
[95] It was 1140, and they were still playing.
[96] And I'm like, just.
[97] But I don't want the game starting when I'm like.
[98] trying to figure out dinner.
[99] Like, I like the way it is here with us.
[100] I can get dinner.
[101] And then afterwards, like, okay, now I'm down to seven o 'clock hours for dinner, and now I can focus on the game.
[102] Chris, if you experienced it on the West Coast, you're like, oh, I can get used to this.
[103] And it's a valid criticism.
[104] Every time that the West Coasters say, you guys are doing it wrong, all I can do is nod along and say, yeah, can't change where I'm at.
[105] I guess I could move.
[106] I mean, do you eat dinner at 9 p .m.?
[107] Like, I want to eat my dinner while I'm watching the first quarter.
[108] And yesterday I ate my dinner, and then I had a two -hour wait until a kickoff.
[109] It was ridiculous.
[110] Wait, what time did you have dinner?
[111] Like seven.
[112] Oh.
[113] I timed out the DoorDash wings.
[114] That was never going to be the first quarter, though.
[115] I timed out the DoorDash wings.
[116] I wish it was.
[117] That's the point.
[118] You know what?
[119] I wanted nice hot wings to go with a kickoff.
[120] And then I was eating a full sports bar meal before, like, 40 minutes before the game got started.
[121] I hated that.
[122] Well, dinner time kind of starts differently when you have children because that's a little bit earlier now.
[123] It starts at like six.
[124] See, now let me ask you this, Roy, and everybody who has kids, do you guys, do you guys?
[125] the family dinner thing?
[126] Yes.
[127] Every time.
[128] Yep.
[129] Every time?
[130] I'm telling you, sometimes you just got to be like, yo, kid, your meal is natural.
[131] You know what we call?
[132] Sometimes we have a picnic in the living room.
[133] Yeah.
[134] Oh, I have a fancy restaurant for me. Joliet gets to name the fancy restaurant.
[135] And I'm usually like hungry at that point.
[136] It's on the weekend and I just need that Italian food to hit right at that moment.
[137] Chris, does try picnic night?
[138] Do you put out like a little picnic blanket?
[139] Picnic night is usually when we Uber eat something.
[140] So the Uber Eats comes in and we, you know, sit down on the floor.
[141] We just break it out and it's just, we're just sitting on the floor.
[142] It's really nothing outside of that.
[143] Surrounded by same and Gundy pizza boxes.
[144] Look, sometimes I'm just like, I have multiple kids.
[145] I got three.
[146] So it's a lot.
[147] Sometimes it's just like, you, there, go, get out of here.
[148] Three.
[149] There's, having a family dinner is sometimes like a to -do.
[150] It's absolutely a to -do, man. And it's just like, and you can't get them to shut up.
[151] That's the other thing.
[152] They won't shut up.
[153] Like, just eat.
[154] Like, if I'm sitting there and all I hear is, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
[155] But isn't the family dinner, the time to talk and catch?
[156] Our family dinner has a lot of range.
[157] There are some dinners where it's like, this is just going to be a phone dinner.
[158] You can have your tablet.
[159] I'm on my phone, my wife's on her phone.
[160] We don't even look at each other.
[161] Phone dinner.
[162] And then there are also dinners where I turn into like a guy from the 50s and I'm like, we're going to be humans.
[163] You put that tablet away.
[164] How was your day?
[165] What did you learn today?
[166] It's a difference, though.
[167] Mike, Chris and I have one child.
[168] I mean, has multiple.
[169] The multiple children are talking to each other.
[170] All children are talking to us.
[171] Talking to each other and talking, I struggle.
[172] I think about when I was a kid, was I this damn boring?
[173] Because they talk about the dumbest things.
[174] It's just references.
[175] You were.
[176] No, I wasn't.
[177] I promise you.
[178] You were seven?
[179] This is what they do.
[180] This is what they do.
[181] Remember when Skibbidi?
[182] He was Ohio.
[183] That's the whole conversation.
[184] And then they just repeat it over and over again.
[185] Hey, hey, my Skibbitty, Ohio.
[186] Mix in a Skibbitty toilet at least.
[187] Whatever.
[188] That's so 2023.
[189] My daughter called me brough the other day.
[190] I get some bros sometimes.
[191] It's faster, bro.
[192] I'm just like, what are you doing?
[193] I think that this is a generational divide in that when we were kids, we were entertained seemingly by the same things that our parents were.
[194] Everyone was like approaching things from a level point in pop culture because YouTube wasn't a thing.
[195] Now kids get like things go viral.
[196] All the kids in high school know about the Skibbitty thing, right?
[197] But adults have no frame of reference for it.
[198] Adults used to have frame of reference for things that entertained kids.
[199] Like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?
[200] Oh yeah.
[201] That's on Channel 39.
[202] Marnie.
[203] I love you.
[204] Yeah, we got it.
[205] But Skibbitty, I'm out on the loop on.
[206] When I was a kid, I lived in the central time zone, and the first quarter was always at dinner time.
[207] And it was amazing.
[208] Oh, that's what's happening.
[209] You were engineered socially.
[210] It was amazing.
[211] Oh, 7 .30, sit down, watch the first quarter, and then you'd ease your way into the living room for the second half right after dinner and said last night, I'm eating at like seven.
[212] The game starts at nine.
[213] By 10 .30, like complete crash.
[214] I tweeted like maybe a minute of game of clock was left in the first half.
[215] Like, I don't know if I'm going to make it to the second half.
[216] And I fell asleep.
[217] Like, I I think 30 seconds later, because I missed the end of the first half and slept until like 12 .30.
[218] And then I was like, well, I think I missed the whole game.
[219] Dude, isn't that one of the most amazing things when you have a very vivid memory of the clock being like three seconds to go?
[220] It was like a minute and 10 seconds.
[221] And then you say, I don't remember halftime.
[222] Like, how did I go from like, I'm watching this to I'm completely knocked out in three seconds?
[223] You live in Arizona.
[224] Yes.
[225] And sometimes they're like three hours back and sometimes they're two hours back.
[226] that would really mess me up.
[227] It does, and it doesn't.
[228] It doesn't mess me up because I don't have to change any clocks in the cars or whatever.
[229] So from when to when is it two hours behind?
[230] It's whenever you, whenever daylight, whatever.
[231] I don't even know what daylight savings and daylight standard is.
[232] So you're, you're surprised.
[233] Yes, it's wintertime.
[234] It's just an hour, though.
[235] Wintertime, we're mountain time, summertime, we're Pacific time.
[236] I had to deal with this when I worked with Golick because half the year, he was three hours behind, half the year was two hours behind.
[237] And I had to figure out Arizona time.
[238] I'm not equipped for that.
[239] I tell you, sometimes it comes in handy, sometimes it bites you in the ass.
[240] Like, for instance, I have a radio show that I do a serious XM NBA radio on Sundays, 10 a .m. to 1 p .m. Eastern.
[241] Jason Jackson, that's right.
[242] And like, during the winter, that show starts at 8 a .m. my local time, which is a decent hour.
[243] Right now, up until the clock change, it's a 7 a .m. start on a Sunday.
[244] So it's just like, ah, you know, I'm dragging to get there on time, because obviously they want us there early to check in to make sure all the connections are working.
[245] So we're really talking about 6 .30 in the morning.
[246] We're so old because our talking points after the game was like how we were inconvenience in our sleeves.
[247] We went into time zones.
[248] Pre -samp penalties, I thought we were on the right track.
[249] There were a lot of things to talk about that game, but then we just went into, we took a hard left into Old Town.
[250] Okay, well, I will swing the wheel right back into football and say, Travis Kelsey's new hair, dumb.
[251] Dumb?
[252] He's doing now.
[253] He's doing this.
[254] thing that celebrities do, I'm going to push the limits here where I'm so cool that I can do something like this and it'll still be cool.
[255] Can we talk about Mike getting dragged by the Chiefs Groundskeeper because he tweeted that Travis Kelsey had a die job just like the Chiefs field and apparently the Chiefs Groundskeeper did not like that.
[256] Really?
[257] Groundskeeper and I have to walk it back.
[258] I got properly dragged by him.
[259] Look, I'm not going to pretend.
[260] I'm going to know it all.
[261] What did he say?
[262] He denied the accusation.
[263] For anybody I was watching, I'm sure you all noticed, man, this turf at Arrowhead is never this green.
[264] And usually when a turf is that green, like Tampa Bay, they often paint their turf.
[265] And look, Kansas City often painted their turf too.
[266] You can usually tell by how much green is on the jerseys.
[267] It's an abnormal thing.
[268] So I put circumstantial evidence together.
[269] I saw a really bright green turf that I'd never seen before.
[270] And I saw early in the game a lot of neon green grass stains.
[271] And right then and there, I made the accusation that they dyed their field.
[272] By the way, Travis Kelsey, that one's a lock.
[273] Definitely dyeing the mustache and hair.
[274] It's just much darker now.
[275] But as I tweeted it, I was like, man, I should have had, I went for the joke, maybe you should have had a couple more serious sample.
[276] And it became pretty evident that this was like not a die job and this was just a spectacular job because Arrowhead's hosting Kansas football games this year.
[277] And it's never been, it's been a really, the Copa.
[278] Dude, it's been a really difficult grounds to keep.
[279] And the, uh, the, the Ground'skeeper, like, worked me on social media, and I just couldn't say anything.
[280] He keeps saying he worked you.
[281] What did he say?
[282] He said, hey, a die job like you must have?
[283] What did he say?
[284] He was like, all right, Ryan Day.
[285] It's always a great compliment when people think it's died.
[286] And it was, then I knew.
[287] I'm not going to go at the groundskeeper and say, oh, you're lying.
[288] I'm not going to do that.
[289] I mean, that's so Internet.
[290] But, no, I was wrong about that.
[291] So I have to walk that back.
[292] And publicly, I have to walk back because there's this Twitter account.
[293] that's called DLS Corrections that its whole existence is to point out when we screw up and get things wrong, which is often, which is kind of like the show.
[294] No. No, when we do that, it's on purpose.
[295] It's a bit.
[296] So we had a like finally, I got a good NASCAR segment when it came to Tyler Reddick.
[297] But this account really wanted to hold on to the fact that Tyler Redick after the race denied that he had shit and puked.
[298] Which is, okay, cool.
[299] We played the sound.
[300] I mean, it was pretty Yeah, it was pretty obvious that did shade himself, man. And also, there are beat writers that are covering this that have access to those radio comms, and they made it pretty evident that this was happening.
[301] But afterwards, Tyler Reddick denied the claims.
[302] And there's a good amount of evidence that suggests that maybe we misinterpreted.
[303] Maybe Tyler Reddick didn't shit his pants.
[304] But my whole thing is, let the legend live.
[305] We all had fun.
[306] No, I did hear he only sharded.
[307] And Mike, the other thing is also, it's like, what I'm hearing is that we don't have any confirmation that he didn't shit himself.
[308] He's denying it.
[309] He's denying it.
[310] He's like, I fought at the entire race.
[311] Oh, oh, if you shat yourself right now, would you be on air talking about that guys have just shat myself?
[312] Yeah, it's happy.
[313] Powered through, though.
[314] He'd power through it.
[315] You're opening the door to, like, I think, appropriate scrutiny, which is Tyler Redick has everything in the world the game by saying he didn't shit himself.
[316] But I would say, I would argue you had one of the more heroic sports performances of all time.
[317] Lean in.
[318] Be the guy that.
[319] shit himself and puked himself and still won a regular season championship.
[320] Be that guy.
[321] Does it diminish it now, though, Mike?
[322] If he didn't?
[323] Makes it a little less fun for me. Now, granted, the guy spent three and a half hours behind a wheel fighting off shitting and puking.
[324] That might be more impressive than shitting yourself, by the way.
[325] Because he didn't get the relief.
[326] Like, we could.
[327] To hold it?
[328] No, there's nothing that makes you drive faster than when you got to go.
[329] But you already went so.
[330] But you already went, though.
[331] No, but we're saying that if he didn't go.
[332] If he didn't go.
[333] At that point, you can't hold that.
[334] Whatever's coming out there, you don't hold.
[335] It comes out.
[336] You can.
[337] He couldn't.
[338] Well, he claims he did.
[339] And now you're sending yourself up for this ex -account to come at.
[340] Sometimes you will sit on the toilet and you're like, I've had a lot of feelings and there's got to be a lot in this toilet.
[341] And you stand up and it's just like one little like piece of a poop.
[342] You guys ever had that?
[343] For a little nugget, you're consipated.
[344] Right.
[345] I know that, but I'm just saying.
[346] But sometimes you don't realize, you'll have the feeling of like, oh, I've done some work here.
[347] And then you stand up and it's like one little pebble.
[348] That's probably what happened to Tyler.
[349] Back on track.
[350] for a second.
[351] The hair.
[352] I don't know if the Chief's Groundskeeper was referring to Travis Kelsey's die job or the grass's die job.
[353] But what he responded to Mike was, thank you for the compliment.
[354] Nothing better than people thinking it's died.
[355] That's a good point.
[356] We don't know if he's actually talking about the field.
[357] But then there was a subsequent follow -up where he said, we try to never die at all, which again, try to never die.
[358] Doesn't mean we don't.
[359] We don't.
[360] And then he said, only thing died the last few years is one passed down the hash is for an AFC championship game in January.
[361] We try to grow grass here every week all season, pre -germ, time seedings, grow, tarps.
[362] Nah, I don't care about that stuff.
[363] Field heat are all used to keep it natural every week.
[364] Again, could be about the hair.
[365] No, obviously it's between the hashes.
[366] Once you get into like week 12, I mean, the offensive lines just tearing that field up.
[367] You got to die that field.
[368] Oh, yeah, come wintertime, January, which is what he said, which is why I was like, this is a place that often dies their field, paints it green.
[369] Tampa, Chicago, keep an eye on on that one.
[370] These are places that are, it's historically difficult to keep the grounds.
[371] Do you think George Toma would have the answer?
[372] Well, that's also what I was doing is like, I don't even want to respond to this guy because I'm a Toma guy.
[373] I mean, we're all Toma guys over here.
[374] I think we should get George Toma on the phone try and figure out, hey, you watched that game last night.
[375] You think that's a die job?
[376] We can't ignore the elephant in the room, though, is that that turf looked mighty nice.
[377] Arrowhead has never looked better on my television.
[378] I don't see anything wrong with ignoring the elephant in the room, Mike.
[379] Better than FedEx Field.
[380] Let's talk about Lamar Jackson and that final play.
[381] and Isaiah likely not only becoming tight -end one for the Ravens while Andrews is on the field, but arguably becoming tight -end one for the league in one game.
[382] A star -making performance that would have been solidified even more were not for that much of a toe.
[383] But let's talk about what happened before that, which is Lamar Jackson, an athlete that we've never seen at that position.
[384] People have their thoughts and opinions about him.
[385] He has Zayflowers open, and he only has Zayflowers open because of the chaos that he creates in that backfield.
[386] Chris Jones was unbelievable yesterday.
[387] The offensive line was bad.
[388] Dude.
[389] Yeah, but, all right, so Baltimore is a really tough offensive line to evaluate, at least for me, because Lamar Jackson is such a great runner that part of what he does is he holds the ball and he tries to draw in the pass rushers so he can then take off.
[390] And that puts the offensive line in a difficult spot because they almost have to kind of be bad for Lamar to be great.
[391] And Lamar is kind of almost making them look extra.
[392] or bad because he's setting the defense up.
[393] But in that play that I'm referring to, the likely to we should throw up there because that's how close we were to not covering last night, Chris.
[394] Oh, boy.
[395] When John Harbaugh threw up the two, I was so.
[396] That felt like I don't want to do the whole scripted thing, but the way they cut, it's like the play happens, touchdown signaled, they just cut real quickly to him going for two.
[397] I shit myself.
[398] And then they show the re, it was just like, it could not have written that ending better.
[399] Right.
[400] That or Kevin Durant's toe, what do you think was a smaller margin of error?
[401] This one.
[402] Yeah.
[403] Kevin Durant was like clearly on the line.
[404] Oh, he wasn't clear.
[405] This one I had to like squint.
[406] Zoom and enhance.
[407] The Zoom and enhanced.
[408] I felt like I was in the 90s action movie.
[409] Enhance.
[410] Taylor's saying before the show, we shouldn't be able to enhance.
[411] Like, what are we doing with replay if we can't enhance?
[412] He says replay's too good.
[413] It is too good.
[414] That it should be blurry.
[415] Dude, it's perfect.
[416] 20 years ago, that's a touchdown.
[417] And it shouldn't have been.
[418] No, but like, I like.
[419] I like.
[420] This is what was happening.
[421] They're robbing us of the fun of those moments.
[422] Like, oh, my God, he did it.
[423] What an amazing play to come back and win the game.
[424] I mean, it's plenty fun when likely you find out that his toe is just out.
[425] Because that's also going to, that may live more.
[426] That toe being over may live more and resonate than him actually catching that touchdown.
[427] Like when Max Drews was out of bounds, but not out of bounds.
[428] Everyone remembers that.
[429] That was hovering, though.
[430] That was different.
[431] That one was very tricky.
[432] I honestly don't remember that.
[433] To Taylor's point, I will say this.
[434] If we're not going to go all the way with technology for downs and for ball placement, all these things, we're not going to put chips on everyone in the ball to do yardage, everything.
[435] Then we can't have these replays that zoom all the way in so we can see like a sliver of a toe over a line.
[436] Blade of grass.
[437] It's either what the refs can see in real time or we go all in on technology.
[438] We're right in this like in between where it must be impossible to be a referee because if you, you're able to, like, stop, freeze -frame zoom in on something, how is he going to see that in the field?
[439] And then it just kills the momentum of a drive.
[440] And I don't know.
[441] I'm with the mean.
[442] It makes it a little bit less fun.
[443] I don't want to watch auditors.
[444] I don't like watching IRS audits.
[445] I like watching people make money.
[446] Guys, last night was plenty fun for me. If you had the Chiefs, really fun.
[447] I know.
[448] I'm complaining about something that I slept through.
[449] We got the Durant toe, by the way, right here on the screen.
[450] Like, that's how grainy it is.
[451] We really can't tell it's.
[452] We've come a long way because this is way more grainy than last night's.
[453] Soccer has a real issue on its hands because it's made the game a lot less fun to watch for me and I'm watching less of it because of VAR.
[454] I can't be emotionally invested in in buildups unless it's obvious to the eye because I'm always looking out.
[455] Mike, it's the dumbest thing ever.
[456] The whole point of the offside rule in soccer is that you don't have people cherry picking.
[457] Now we're getting people called offside because his elbow broke the plane.
[458] Like that's not the shirt sleeve.
[459] I agree in soccer.
[460] That's not the spirit of the rule.
[461] I'm with Mike.
[462] During the Olympics, there was that, I think it was Mel Swanson's goal to put them ahead.
[463] I didn't even celebrate.
[464] I was like, oh, that's coming back.
[465] That's coming back.
[466] And then it counted.
[467] I don't know how soccer players do it.
[468] I don't.
[469] They score and then they do a full celebration.
[470] And then like five times out of ten, it's like, it's coming back.
[471] Chris lost a bet, and they had to bring the guys back out on the field two hours later.
[472] Insane.
[473] That was absurd.
[474] I never bet in game on soccer, and I did that one time.
[475] What Amina is saying is absolutely right in terms of spirit of the rule.
[476] There has to be a general margin of air.
[477] that you adhere to when it comes the offside role.
[478] You should be allowed to have a shirt sleeve offside.
[479] But back to the Lamar Jackson play where he misses an open Zay Flowers in the end zone.
[480] It's kind of hard to criticize Lamar because he did everything to create the open receiver.
[481] But Tony, that was a really bad miss. He missed Rashad Bateman, who was also open running a different route in the area.
[482] So when Zay Flowers looks back, he sees Rashad Bateman running in front of him, like, oh, that must be to him.
[483] And he's hauling ass going, way and the ball's going behind him.
[484] He literally threw it between both of them, wide open.
[485] Keep an eye on.
[486] It's a bad angle for us seeing it from the pocket where he was looking at because we don't have that spider cam view, at least from what they played on the replay.
[487] But it was like an egregious miss. Keep an eye on the Bateman thing because he was plenty frustrated.
[488] Multiple misses with Bateman last night.
[489] Well, he was plenty frustrated.
[490] Biggest one he caught, though.
[491] There was a point in that game, I looked at my cousin along, like, is every play to Zay Flowers?
[492] Every play to this guy.
[493] And also, it's not the most efficient play.
[494] At one point, like, he's touching the ball 30 times and they got like 28 yards to show for it.
[495] What are we doing?
[496] Hold on.
[497] I want to stop you somewhere.
[498] You said you looked at your cousin -in -law.
[499] I don't think in -laws go extend past, like, daughter, brother.
[500] That's your wife's cousin.
[501] Well, I call him cousin.
[502] I usually call him cousin.
[503] Yeah, or that.
[504] Like, this is the bear.
[505] He calls your chef, yeah.
[506] So I guess he was under the impression that this game might have been on ABC or something like that.
[507] He's a direct TV customer.
[508] and he had already missed out on a game so they came over to the house I was like why don't you guys say we'll have dinner and then by the fourth quarter I was really regretting that because my eyes were like really falling asleep I would have missed that game entirely I'm glad I fought it off because it was a great finish it was kind of an odd game I don't really know if anybody played well except for Isaiah likely Rishu Rice played really well yeah well that was always open like at what point I know they have a different defensive coordinator At what point does Baltimore stop putting a linebacker on Rishie Rice?
[509] On really fast, wide receiver?
[510] Yeah, tough.
[511] In the slot.
[512] They didn't have an answer for that.
[513] Xavier Worthy, by the way, got to be great for them.
[514] They just keep drafting the fastest guys on the planet.
[515] What is happening over there?
[516] They keep hitting, but then missing on guys too.
[517] Like, McCull Hardman was supposed to be that next guy where he's like, blazing speedy, super fast, and he's not that good.
[518] But Xavier Worthy, I don't know if he's going to be in every down, like this guy's going to be a Rishie Rice type, but he has those busts, like, huge plays where it's like, okay, The bills traded that pick Like Xavier Worthy could have been a bill But they traded the pick and they took Keon Coleman So now the pressure is on Keon Coleman Heavy -footed Keon Coleman Why you go home heavy -footed?
[519] He just looks like he is A bit cement footed Ah, come on guys Tony who'd you call him earlier Kelvin Benjamin?
[520] Oh what an insult that is Mike?
[521] Mike one overreaction Before the game start Because that's what it feels like we're doing right now I just heard everything from campy's not that good I'm all for this on Monday But you guys, they haven't even, we've watched one NFL game.
[522] And the reports, the reports on him have been good.
[523] It's kind of all over the place with Keon Coleman.
[524] Keon Coleman in college, I thought he was a good player.
[525] He had a really good quarterback.
[526] But if you look at every time that they target him, it wasn't the most efficient thing.
[527] It was like kind of like Zayflowers, like, why are we force -feeding this person if they're only going to come down with a ball like 50 % of the time?
[528] I will say on that third down where he hunched behind the line and then all of a sudden everybody was like, where did he go?
[529] and then he just kind of pops out.
[530] It was a great open field tackle by the safety or whoever was covering him, but it was a great play.
[531] You know, I really wish we had Stugats here because I want to ask him.
[532] He said that last night was a must -win game for the Ravens and they lost.
[533] So what does this mean now for Baltimore?
[534] Season's over.
[535] Stugatia, the most important things in my life are my wife, my children, and of course, their safety.

[587] Don Libotard.
[588] Number three, Chick -fil -A waffle fries.
[589] Yeah, we can get mine.
[590] Love it.
[591] I mean.
[592] Nah, I think it's an overrated.
[593] You guys go ketchup or Chick -fil -A sauce when you have the Chick -fil -A?
[594] Polynesian sauce.
[595] Polynesian, that's my brother right there.
[596] Good call.
[597] You're my brother.
[598] Stugats.
[599] Oh, my God.
[600] What a weird interaction.
[601] What?
[602] What?
[603] Wow.
[604] Wow.
[605] This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stugats.
[606] You know, it occurred to me as I asked where Stugats.
[607] You should ask them about last night.
[608] Did he even stay for the game?
[609] I'm not exactly sure.
[610] It was a really difficult ticket to get.
[611] I saw, I heard Billy, I was watching their pregame show, which was fun, and they mentioned that they got, like, I don't know if it was tickets or media credential, they all had access, and the debate was whether Stugats was actually going to show up.
[612] But I saw his classic awkward self -lory selfie from inside the stadium.
[613] You got the posture down.
[614] He was at least, like, where it's just like so awkward.
[615] He's definitely using two hands.
[616] Two hands to steady the can.
[617] I got the picture up on the screen right.
[618] Keep an eye on Stugats' social media usage, by the way.
[619] Yeah, what's going on there?
[620] He's way more active.
[621] Very interesting.
[622] Is it a contract here?
[623] What's happening?
[624] I'm not going to say what I know, but I know that someone has been helping him run in his account.
[625] Taylor?
[626] Oh, it's obvious that someone's helping him because he's getting like clips out from the show on there.
[627] And I'm just like either Stugats' his daughter.
[628] Are they of college football 25 or?
[629] He's denied the claims.
[630] I don't believe.
[631] I mean, there's no claim.
[632] I'm not making any claims.
[633] I'm just saying he's been very active on social.
[634] Maybe Mikey A. And whoever's doing it, they've captured his voice very well.
[635] And it was almost like, should you be posting this on social?
[636] Should we expose more of the world to Stugats' takes?
[637] He's putting show clips out.
[638] He's doing like his takes on Twitter.
[639] And he's getting good engagement with him.
[640] I know I did a scroll yesterday.
[641] And I was just like, wow, a lot of tweets the last few weeks.
[642] If we could throw that picture up again, that is certainly not the press box.
[643] So they got tickets to the game.
[644] They got tickets to the game, and it was a very difficult ticket to get.
[645] And my heart was worn by seeing Billy and clips of Billy recording content out there.
[646] You could see the joy on Billy's face.
[647] And I texted him on the side.
[648] I'm like, how awesome is that place?
[649] Because I've been to Kansas City for a week one affair, and it is a very special place.
[650] He was having the time of his life.
[651] A lot of people with a ticket that were lucky enough to get a ticket.
[652] We're having the time of their life.
[653] And if you want to be lucky enough to have a ticket to a sold -out event like last night surely was, you only have so many options.
[654] Well, let me tell you the best option on the secondary market.
[655] I'm talking, of course, about the game time out.

[660] Game time.
[661] Who?
[662] It's another big game tonight.
[663] Awkward.
[664] I don't like the Friday night thing.
[665] Like NFL, enough.
[666] Enough.
[667] What are you guys doing?
[668] Enough.
[669] Friday night is for high school football only.
[670] It's the first week of the season.
[671] Who are you going to go watch?
[672] Columbus and Booker T. Who's the finest playing tonight?
[673] I'm going to watch that.
[674] You're going to drive to St. Thomas?
[675] Oh, yeah.
[676] I'll be there.
[677] I'm sure Bishop Gorman's on ESPNU.
[678] IMG Academy.
[679] Are you anti -high school football?
[680] No, I love high school football.
[681] Sounds like you're anti -high school football.
[682] Can I stop all of you?
[683] Go, Noland.
[684] I know we're in the take business and we got to like, oh, Friday.
[685] I'm going to rip it like.
[686] You're all going to be fine.
[687] Okay, it's one week.
[688] It's NFL.
[689] NFL football.
[690] Everyone's just like, I can't believe it.
[691] No, no, no, no. College football's infringing on Friday nights too now.
[692] Hold on, Chris.
[693] Don't be a simpleton.
[694] This is how they started Thursday night football.
[695] It used to be, oh, it's just week one.
[696] It's just week one.
[697] And then all of a sudden, we started getting a bunch of shitty games on Thursday nights.
[698] Last night was shitty?
[699] No, not.
[700] I was touching my nipples the entire quarter of last night.
[701] I'm not talking about week one.
[702] You don't lose the plot.
[703] Week one is always they're trying to get you.
[704] They're trying to get you.
[705] But when you got Jags, Titans, Color Clash.
[706] You got Dolphins' Bills on Thursday Night Football on a couple weeks.
[707] Occasionally it's good.
[708] Occasionally they got a good one.
[709] Most of, I think we can all agree, most of the slate is bad on Thursday nights.
[710] And on top of it, even when the matchup is good, the play is terrible because they've had four freaking days of rest.
[711] So don't tell me, oh, this is a one -off thing.
[712] You'll be fine because I know in three years, the greedy -ass NFL, they're going to do it to us again.
[713] They're like, guess what?
[714] We've got Friday night football now.
[715] Good.
[716] I don't know.
[717] I don't want Friday night football.
[718] It's one thing to take over a Thursday.
[719] It's one thing to take over a Monday.
[720] But I already devote plenty of my weekend to football.
[721] Friday's my one weekend night to take care of the family.
[722] Dog, I got a life.
[723] I'm with Mike on that.
[724] Like, my wife would kill me if there was NFL football every Friday.
[725] I don't think the NFL is allowed to do Friday night game.
[726] There's going to have to be, like, legislation.
[727] Because they're not supposed to have Friday night games in September through, like, December or something.
[728] What Chess is saying is right.
[729] Broadcasting Act or something like that?
[730] I took a sports administration class where, like, the antitrust laws protected the college football window from the NFL, and now we're going to have college football playoff games in NFL windows.
[731] So I think all of that stuff is starting to fall by the way so.
[732] But is Friday a college football night?
[733] Yeah.
[734] Yeah.
[735] There's SMU -B -YU tonight.
[736] Oh, bastards, man. Yeah, but that's right.
[737] But I also don't love college football on Friday.
[738] You can skip that.
[739] It's for Saturday.
[740] No, Friday is Friday.
[741] Friday is let me be human.
[742] once a week.
[743] So I have to make, let's take tonight, for example.
[744] It's a great sports night.
[745] You have Foe versus Fritz in the U .S. Open.
[746] That's prime time.
[747] You have two Americans fighting for an appearance in the final that's going to be really dramatic.
[748] You have Eagles Packers, which is, if we're going to send a game to Rio and do this Friday thing, why are we sending a banger of a game over there?
[749] Also, I don't know if you've seen the reports, but teams, people can't, people are worried about the colors that they're wearing.
[750] in this place.
[751] They're worried.
[752] They can't leave their hotels.
[753] For that, just keep the game in Philadelphia.
[754] Dude, among other things, also, we got Lynx fever tonight.
[755] We got Aces' son tonight.
[756] Those are really good games.
[757] Great games.
[758] Great games.
[759] We've been giving London crap games for a decade.
[760] And we're giving, like, I'm with you, Mike.
[761] It's a big night for.
[762] This game should be Sunday.
[763] This should be a 425 kickoff.
[764] It's a big night for NFL threads, though.
[765] this is your moment threads if NFL threads is ever going to be a thing tonight is a night because X is banned in Brazil which makes it difficult for a lot of these beat writers to do their job during the game so that's something to keep an eye out for but I'm faced with all these difficult decisions but I also since it is a weekend I got to also manage my personal life and so the decision that I made was I'm going to watch Beetlejuice Beetlejuice tonight yeah I'm going to go tonight because I can't go tomorrow you got the canes playing at six o 'clock and i love college it's a great tremendous college football slate tomorrow that's my football day friday can't be my football day what's really i'm not even it's not even the uh the the football game that's entering the equation because beatlejuice beatlejuice all day especially with the good reviews of it i'm really bummed about the u .s open and hopefully i imagine that game's so going to be going that match is still going to be going so i'll be able to catch the tail end of that because that's what i'm more into tonight but this game i don't understand it I don't know why we're doing it in Brazil.
[766] I know why they're generally doing these remote games, but out the box, a Friday, week one, a banger of a game, everyone seems to be miserable that they're doing this thing.
[767] I just don't get it.
[768] I need one weekend night that is not dedicated to football.
[769] You're putting me and my family in a very difficult position.
[770] Next Friday you'll get it.
[771] No biggie.
[772] Next Friday you'll get it.
[773] Yeah, but Beetle Juice, Beetlejuice.
[774] These movies stay in the theaters now for like three weeks.
[775] And then they're out, dude.
[776] You got to get it when it's hot.
[777] I got to go right now.
[778] for date night.
[779] I got to get a sitter.
[780] Like, this is, when you have a kid, things are difficult, and I can't have the NFL, which I love, and I really want to watch this game.
[781] I can't have that getting in the way.
[782] Like, it's too much.
[783] You guys have won.
[784] You're running up the score right now.
[785] It's like Urban Myers, the commish.
[786] What are we doing?
[787] The whole, like, beauty of it was, it was like, one day a week, I'm dedicated to this.
[788] And then it's like, and Monday, all right, Monday, now.
[789] All right, Monday, night, one day week and Monday night.
[790] I'm happy for it on Monday.
[791] And they're like, hey, and also Thursday.
[792] Okay, one day a week and Monday night and also Thursday nights.
[793] I'm good with one more.
[794] No. You guys, Duke versus Northwestern is tonight.
[795] Do you know how many consultants are going to miss the NFL game because they're watching Duke at Northwestern?
[796] Did you see the Northwestern stadium this year?
[797] Yes, and I have a take about this.
[798] First of all, it's gorgeous.
[799] It's on Lake Michigan and it looked beautiful.
[800] But it is going to be so cold and windy there in like two weeks.
[801] Catfish?
[802] Can you say catfish?
[803] The practice facility that they built It's brand new It's also on the water I played soccer there before They got the drone shots And everything and everything Go oh that's so awesome It's going to be so cool or whatever I thought of just some dumb kid Somewhere like in California Being like oh they got cool beaches too over there And then he's going to go And like within a month of the start of school You'd be like this I'm telling you right now It is already in the 60s this weekend In the Midwest It went from like 95 degrees last week to now it's pretty chilly again.
[804] In the first week of October, there's always a frost.
[805] It is going to be so cold on the lake.
[806] But it does look beautiful.
[807] I will give them that.
[808] Yeah, they did this just for everything that they could get that last weekend of August for their propaganda and recruiting tools.
[809] The content team went crazy.
[810] As soon as I saw that thing on the lake, I'm like, that is going to be arguably the worst place to ever play a sport that ever exist.
[811] From wintertime, I can't imagine being there sitting in the upper deck, watching Northwestern.
[812] I had a good year last year, especially when you consider the expectations.
[813] But that's got to be a miserable place come a couple weeks from now.
[814] I just, like, there has to be laws and regulations against this, right?
[815] You can't just build a stadium wherever you want, right?
[816] In the wind tunnel.
[817] Like, that can't be like just, yeah, go ahead and knock yourself out.
[818] If you go to a baseball game here in this market, you kind of come away with a take that, yeah, I guess I can just put this wherever they want and not make any sense whatsoever.
[819] But I'm going to see Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice tonight.
[820] I'm really encouraged by the reviews.
[821] I'm happy.
[822] Everything that I've seen from Tim Burton and in the press is really encouraging.
[823] Michael Keaton's in the film for the exact same amount of time that he was in the first one.
[824] Wow.
[825] Which, if you remember, wasn't very long.
[826] No. It's only in the screen time, I think, was like 17 minutes.
[827] Yes.
[828] Why was he not in it for very long?
[829] I don't understand.
[830] Isn't he Beetlejuice?
[831] Yes, but the whole point is, like, you have to summon him.
[832] So, like, he can't just be around all the time.
[833] He needs to be gone in order to be summoned.
[834] But Mike, I'm glad that you want to talk about Bitojuice, because I want to talk about something specific.
[835] And that's Tim Burton casting his love interests in movies.
[836] Always.
[837] Enough, dude.
[838] Enough.
[839] We get it.
[840] You're dating Monica Baluci.
[841] We get it.
[842] This one's a hell of a win for him, though.
[843] Sure.
[844] This one's, he pulled out a big dub.
[845] No, look, her, Elena Bonham Carter, beautiful, and also a great actress as well.
[846] But, like, you know, dude.
[847] Like.
[848] Yeah.
[849] And Ed Wood, he started doing it, too, and Mars attacks.
[850] Wait, they got divorced, Helena Bonham Carter.
[851] Yeah, I didn't know that.
[852] Now he's dating Monica Belucci, and guess what she's doing now?
[853] Hasn't been in a movie in like 100 years, all of a sudden.
[854] Let's put her in Beatoges.
[855] Is she the Beetlejuice's ex -fiance?
[856] I think so, because in the trailer, she's missing a finger.
[857] And if you watch the first Beetlejuice, there's a point where he's, like, getting married to Winona Ryder.
[858] And he's like, he pulls out the ring and he's like, oh, she met nothing to me, nothing at all.
[859] Oh, that's a pretty good Beetlejuice.
[860] It was in that moment.
[861] Don't ask me to recreate it.
[862] But everything that I've read about it is encouraging, like, for example, Tim Burton was asked, hey, why isn't Gina Davis and Alec Baldwin in this movie?
[863] And he's like, because I was telling a story.
[864] And it didn't make sense for them to be in this story.
[865] I thought he'd just because Alec Baldwin shot somebody.
[866] Well, that could be part of the reasons, too.
[867] She's been in a lot of movies in the last 10 years.
[868] I know she was in one of those Liam Neeson movies we did it for.
[869] Monica Balucci?
[870] She was in the Passion of the Christ.
[871] She was in memory.
[872] She was in memory.
[873] The movie where Liam Neeson has Alzheimer's.
[874] He's a hit man with Alzheimer's.
[875] Oh, that's great.
[876] Oh, my God.
[877] Yeah, you got to watch that one.
[878] I will find you if I can remember where you are.
[879] He gets in the car and he forgets why he got in the car in the first place.
[880] It's actually a great friend -this -room movie.
[881] One of the Matrix movies as well.
[882] I think it was reloaded.
[883] Yeah, but that movie's terrible.
[884] Apparently the story behind this sequel is the story that Tim Burton wants to tell is a story about the generations of parenting, the relationship between a grandmother, a mother, and a daughter.
[885] and through the framework of this, you know, gothic whimsy Tim Burton universe, which I'm really excited about.
[886] I was, when I first saw that this sequel's being made, and the original came out in 1988, I was excited just because of the nostalgia aspects, but I'm like, okay, this is a cash grab, and I'm first in line, I'll be there, but I really hope that you do it for the right reasons, and it seems as though they're telling a good story, and they really worked on this, and the careful amount of thought, Tim Burton apparently almost retired after Dumbo.
[887] Which I kind of like.
[888] My daughter loves that movie.
[889] He did the live -action Dumbo?
[890] Yeah, my daughter really liked that movie.
[891] I didn't mind it, but it apparently almost made him quit his entire career.
[892] Bastard.
[893] I love Tim Burton movies.
[894] He's one of my favorite filmmakers, but, you know, he kind of got worse, the more CGI got involved in movies.
[895] Because it gave like this, like, really blurry hue to all his films.
[896] And all Tim Burton's films, the practical sets, especially in Beetlejuice and the Batman movies, They really suck out.
[897] Practical set design is what I like so much about Alien Romulus.
[898] He did Frankenweeney.
[899] That's a good movie.
[900] Speaking of Tim Burton, it's almost nightmare before Christmas time.
[901] I went to Publix the other day.
[902] There's pumpkins.
[903] Everywhere.
[904] There's pumpkins everywhere.
[905] Guys, guys.
[906] Travis Kelsey last night looked like he was dipped inside a pumpkin spice latte with his little outfit on.
[907] This acceleration of the seasons has to end.
[908] We cannot allow corporate America to just usher us straight out of summertime.
[909] into Halloween, we got to hold two damn months before that happens.
[910] In August.
[911] Jeremy is drinking a P .S .L. I'm drinking a pumpkin spice latte as we speak.
[912] Basic broad.
[913] I feel like one of the most overused takes in all of takery these days is slow down with the holidays.
[914] Relax, I just got to haul.
[915] We're not even to Halloween yet and I'm already, it's like, why are you doing the robot?
[916] Yeah, what's going on here?
[917] I like that.
[918] I mean, you are usually such a free, like, such a unique thinker.
[919] Don't do this take.
[920] I want to live in the moment, Chris.
[921] Unique thinker, I like that.
[922] The tread is so worn on this take.
[923] You would.
[924] You would.
[925] The tread on this take is just worn.
[926] Chris is team pumpkin.
[927] I'm not even, I'm not even pro.
[928] Just say it.
[929] I'm so tired of that take.
[930] Slow down, holidays.
[931] Hey, Chris.
[932] He's got a pumpkin stick on his Starbucks, too.
[933] That lady did that.
[934] That lady did that.
[935] Chris.
[936] There's no pumpkin in there.
[937] Happy New Year.
[938] No. No. I do feel some kind of way about skipping Thanksgiving.
[939] Yeah.
[940] I like Thanksgiving.
[941] I like the communal aspect.
[942] I like the food.
[943] And I just hate that we just skip right past it.
[944] If my neighbor wants to put up a Christmas tree in October, let her.
[945] No. It's just like, who cares?
[946] Why don't we have to get on here and be like, I make the rules for when the holidays can be celebrated.
[947] Don't get it twisted.
[948] I don't care what you do in the privacy of your own home.
[949] I care about when I walk into my local supermarket and, I've got to be inundated.
[950] They're trying to make money.
[951] They've got to get ahead of this.
[952] No, they don't.
[953] You're going to be you to sell pumpkins for two weeks?
[954] No. They're trying to make money because they themselves made this so commercial.
[955] So they're just feeding the machine that we're lamenting because it's too much.
[956] We got to stand up.
[957] We got to stand up together and take a stand against this.
[958] No, I mean, no. Putting up Christmas lights on your house is not the privacy of your own home.
[959] Like, that's affecting my sleep.
[960] I don't, well, yes, you got to turn that.
[961] What kind of like, I've never been.
[962] What's a. Ask Christmas.
[963] lights are in my bed trying to say it's like god damn tell them the Christmas lights like is this really an issue that you're running to yes no that's he chases down the street with his stupid ass lights and Roy's like shut up already damn in need the damn lights are on again those damn floodlights man all over the house and those floodlights are like do you guys have people in your neighborhoods with the motion sensor floodlights oh I used to have a guy in my neighborhood who did an entire light show to music like you tuned to the radio and he would play a song and he would do like a whole thing.
[964] He engineered it to all the things would dance and flash and it was crazy.
[965] People would just sit there on the block and block traffic and just like listen to Trans -Siberian Orchestra.
[966] It was kind of cool.
[967] What do they do the other nine months of the year?
[968] They leave them up and just don't put it in.
[969] I'm talking about Trans -Siberian Orchestra.
[970] Oh, that's a good point.
[971] They set up the tour.
[972] It's a great gig for them.
[973] Get ready to count some money.
[974] They can't even tour in Florida anymore.
[975] No?
[976] No, is that a joke?
[977] Any more?
[978] I missed a joke.
[979] That's a great joke, man. That's a damn good jokes.
[980] So hit the button, hit the button.
[981] The Siberian thing plays down here, though.
[982] I was so fixated on orchestra.
[983] I was like, what's wrong with the orchestra?
[984] Orca?
[985] The arts in general, really.
[986] Like, that was, yeah.
[987] No, the violins.
[988] You know what, man?
[989] I hit it already.
[990] No. No, no, I've got to hit something else here.
[991] Oh, where is it?
[992] Oh, now you find it?
[993] No, I can't even find it.
[994] Oh, man. Go to the next page.
[995] Stoll.
[996] Well, he scans for that.
[997] I want to talk to you guys about something that popped up in pop culture last night.
[998] Minor penalty, two minutes, asshole.
[999] Oh, no. Self, asshole?
[1000] No, you're not.
[1001] Wow.
[1002] I'm waving to my name.
[1003] Sorry.
[1004] All right.
[1005] Well, do you have any takes on Lincoln Park?
[1006] No. All right, so you're, we can kick you out for this one.
[1007] I might join them.
[1008] Lincoln Park got back together, and this was something that had been long rumored.
[1009] There had been videos of the new Lincoln Park kind of rehearsing and whatnot.
[1010] So it's not quite the shock and awe of Oasis, but this is a band that for many in our audience means way more to them than Oasis ever did.
[1011] And so, obviously, tragically, they lost Chester.
[1012] They have to replace Chester.
[1013] And for many people, that's a bridge too far.
[1014] How do you replace Chester?
[1015] He was so associated with their sound.
[1016] But me, as someone that wasn't the biggest Lincoln Park guy when it was happening, I will totally admit, their sound has aged with grace.
[1017] Now that you frame everything with nostalgia and the fact that Chester is gone, I look back on their time.
[1018] Hybrid theory was a classic.
[1019] They were really of their time, which sometimes is a bit too much.
[1020] My criticism when it was happening, as someone that had seen them live, Number one, Chester Live was a bit of a struggle, but I think he would have aged well, too, with all the advancements in Live Auto Tune.
[1021] I was kind of way too stubborn about manufactured bands.
[1022] And to this day, I still kind of am.
[1023] I look at bands like Imagine Dragons, and I look down on my nose on them.
[1024] Limited fake Imagine Dragons.
[1025] But, you know, the timeline is kind of, you can scrutinize a timeline in the formation of Lincoln Park and say, is this band manufactured?
[1026] And that's something if you're a hipster or someone that's, you know, really stingy about these things, you could hold against them.
[1027] But there have been plenty of great bands.
[1028] I've been totally manufactured by record labels.
[1029] Fun, that band, fun.
[1030] They were totally just, you know, studio musicians that were getting all the scraps of songs and samples and putting out demos.
[1031] And then they just realized, let's just put out an album.
[1032] And that's why they're not even together.
[1033] They didn't even know each other, really.
[1034] Yeah, they were basically considered themselves a supergroup because they were three different artists who sort of came together that had been in different bands.
[1035] And Jack Antinoff was one of those people.
[1036] He was the main person sort of producing some of that music playing guitar for them.
[1037] And then, yeah, they put out two albums.
[1038] They didn't really like each other all that much.
[1039] And then they split up and Jack started bleachers and producing for every pop artists that existed.
[1040] Yeah, they didn't like each other because they never really knew each other to begin with.
[1041] So that was kind of like my thing with Lincoln Park.
[1042] It was kind of like two bands kind of put together, hey, you guys should get this front person, and it worked.
[1043] And while it was totally trying to capitalize on that new metal thing, they did it damn near better than anybody else.
[1044] But they've gone away and really struggled with the loss of Chesser as he would because he was so associated with that band.
[1045] But I think now that they've come out on the other side and people look back on, man, in the end, they're just like karaoke standards, this band.
[1046] Those songs were all hits.
[1047] I mean, remember when, And they did the hybrid album with Jay -Z.
[1048] Oh, dude.
[1049] And it was like the biggest thing that existed.
[1050] Moment in time.
[1051] You might have a take on the Jay -Z mash -up album.
[1052] That was a classic.
[1053] I listened to that album last week on my drive up to Gainesville.
[1054] Can I get an encore?
[1055] Dude, you want one?
[1056] That's the only link.
[1057] Did he do the instrumental well on that?
[1058] No. No. I thought he was trying to do Transyberian Orchestra at his third point.
[1059] Me and Roy, we're talking before the show.
[1060] How we don't know anything about Lincoln Park.
[1061] I mean, I know who they are, but my entire experience is in the black album matchup.
[1062] For a lot of people.
[1063] That's all I know about it.
[1064] Yeah, there were a lot of hip -hop heads that the only, like, rock band that they liked was Lincoln Park.
[1065] You know, you have a DJ in the band.
[1066] They had good beats.
[1067] And so, like, and they love that album.
[1068] But I'm just saying, like, I don't know anything outside of that album.
[1069] Roy, I imagine you like Lincoln Park just because you might have heard their songs so much in hockey arenas.
[1070] No, I actually don't know who they are.
[1071] In fact, I asked to me, that, that, in fact, you did this with L .182, though, and I didn't believe you.
[1072] No, I've never listened to their music.
[1073] I hardly pay attention to the music in the arena.
[1074] But I asked to mean, outside, hey, didn't Lincoln Park do a song with Method?
[1075] Man, he said with no, it's Littiniscuit.
[1076] I'm like, yeah.
[1077] Well, they all look the same.
[1078] Well, they all kind of sounded the same.
[1079] But like I say, for that new metal era, Lincoln Park, for that sound, if you like that rap rock thing, Lincoln Park did it as popularly.
[1080] anybody and even though they were kind of manufactured they perfected a formula but now like this isn't exactly oasis this isn't even like if the smiths were ever to come back together these aren't guys the smiths broke up not the smiths i love the smiths who are the smiths you don't know the smiths i heard it mr misses never that's that's the only smiths i know joseph gordon levitt's gonna fall in love with you the smiths which one i know who the smiths are but a mean doesn't know who the smiths are morrisi and johnny marr the smiths are an incredible band oh there it is You know when I hear the song?
[1081] I always think of Jamie Fox and Colin Farrell on the boat in Miami Vice.
[1082] You think a mojito in Cuba?
[1083] I know where we can find a good mojita.
[1084] I didn't know there were so many Chinese people in Cuba.
[1085] That movie had, it was kind of all over the place.
[1086] Directors cut, though.
[1087] And yet it doesn't qualify for Cineapope somehow, some way.
[1088] Because I think the director's cut kind of frames it.
[1089] Michael Mann is a genius, and he's a mad genius specifically with that movie.
[1090] The stories surrounding the making of that movie, I think Rolling Stone did like a retrospective on it.
[1091] It makes you like that movie more because it totally missed the mark.
[1092] Apparently the story behind that movie was Michael Mann just wanted to do this detective movie, this cop movie.
[1093] And the only way he could get it made was just call it Miami Vice.
[1094] I'm coming back to Miami Vice.
[1095] Because the IP, man, Hollywood, man. That was the start of it.
[1096] Yeah, that was his baby.
[1097] What do you make of all these popcorn buckets that people are gravitating to?
[1098] Oh, like the collector's item?
[1099] Yeah, there's a popcorn bucket for Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.
[1100] They're more expensive, right?
[1101] Yeah, I imagine.
[1102] Give me the paper.
[1103] Extra butter on the top, layer it for me. On the double.
[1104] Beetlejuice, beetle juice one look like, you know.
[1105] Fallac in nature?
[1106] This one, it's a sandworm, so it's not like, I don't look at it and be like, I want to hit it.
[1107] Now, these specialty buckets, how hard is it to cut a hole in the bottom of it?
[1108] I don't know, but I don't.
[1109] Oh, this trick in the book.
[1110] I was trying to figure out, like, what the appeal is, and then I figured it out.
[1111] Well, the appeal is the whole...
[1112] Well...
[1113] You can make sure the edges are smooth, though.
[1114] Yeah, you can bang it.
[1115] That's one of the appeals, I guess.
[1116] But movies in particular, like, we don't even have ticket subs anymore.
[1117] Movie posters are pretty much all digital.
[1118] We've had essentially 20 years where movie memorabilia has kind of fallen by the wayside.
[1119] You don't even have fast food tie -ins anymore.
[1120] So, you rarely have fast -foods.
[1121] Deadpool just had one with...
[1122] It's rare, and I think people want these tangible keepsakes now for these...
[1123] movies because it was something that was kind of lost because we're all in our phones and all digital people want something tangible to remember actually it's actually kind of cute howdy folks it is mike ryan and over the course of our 20 years together there have been a lot of changes a lot of changes to the show a lot of changes to my body a lot of changes to you and your listening habits but one thing that hasn't changed is the undebatable great taste of miller light Another thing that hasn't changed, it's less filling.
[1124] So what is the best thing about the original light beer?
[1125] Miller Light sparked this debate way back in 1975, and we still haven't settled it.
[1126] You can understand why the debate rages on.
[1127] Great taste versus less filling.
[1128] But why not have both?
[1129] That's what Miller Light presents in that beautiful white can.
[1130] A light beer that actually tastes like beer.
[1131] You don't have to choose what's best.
[1132] Miller Light has great taste and is less filling.
[1133] Taste like Miller Time.

[1137] Now's a good time to remember where the story of tequila started.
[1138] In 1795, the first tequila distillery was opened by the Cuervo family, and 229 years later, Quervo is still going strong.
[1139] Family owned from the start, same family, same land.
[1140] Now's a good time to enjoy Cuervo, the tequila that invented tequila.
