WEBVTT
00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:14.560
This is the Command the Commute Podcast.
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:18.079
Talking about the game, going to the game.
00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:25.760
Yeah, see, you know, you get the press some buttons.
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:26.719
You press the wrong button.
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:28.320
Well, that's because you started before.
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:29.839
But you know, hail to the red.
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:31.920
Hail to the command.
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:33.039
I went road.
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:34.320
You just pressed the wrong button.
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:39.280
If you if you felt like the intro was restarting, it's because it was.
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:42.399
Thank you to our executive producer, Michael Berger.
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:43.280
Hey, you're welcome.
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:43.600
Yeah.
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:44.479
Let's not use our full.
00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:48.399
Hey, Bob Bagdole, Michael Berger, Command the Commute Podcast.
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:50.320
Welcome to another episode.
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:55.280
This is kind of like uh week negative one.
00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:00.000
If because next week's week zero, and the following week is week one.
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:01.600
So we're in negative week one.
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:06.640
Cut day it was yesterday, waiver wire day today.
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:09.840
Um so we've got plenty to discuss.
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:14.959
Quarter one, just kind of to set the expectation, our agenda for the for the pod.
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:17.519
Quarter one, we're touching on the preseason.
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:31.359
Quarter two, we're gonna do uh uh an instant replay segment for quarter two, basically touching on what we said last week and if we were right or if we were wrong, and what the what that meant for for cut day.
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:48.719
And then quarter three, just gonna kind of preliminarily touch on our, you know, well, it's just kind of a gut check where what our concerns are, where we're confident in, kind of, you know, what position groups or coaching uh discussions that we have.
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:56.239
And then of course, quarter four, we just pretty much talk about whatever pops into pops into our mind.
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:59.920
So yeah, that's the most unscripted part of the entire well.
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:07.359
Really, this whole thing's not very scripted, but uh we we kind of briefly just touch on what what's on our mind.
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:11.759
We have a little thing written down, but other than that, we just kind of that's what I mean.
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:22.159
Like there's really no direction, especially when we're on the road, there's really there's absolutely no script because I'm asking you, you know, what do we got out that window?
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:23.520
What else we got out that window?
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:29.439
Obviously, for our loyal listeners, you all know that uh we talk about the game on the way to the game.
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.960
We press record when we leave the driveway and we upload when we get to the stadium.
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:36.879
But if you're new to the podcast, typically that's what we're doing.
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:49.360
But when there is no game to go to, we just record from uh the office studio here where we stare at uh a beautiful portrait of uh Sean Taylor.
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:58.560
And I've got a honch punch of things in the office here at Redskins Commander Washington football team and otherwise.
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:05.840
But check out our TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook pages to get a glimpse of where we're recording from if you care.
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:08.879
But the cool episodes are well we hope they care.
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:12.560
We we want the likes, the follows, the retweets, all of that.
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:16.560
And by the way, our TikTok's pretty good, pretty doing pretty good, Mikey.
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:22.719
I've been doing a day, I've been doing a daily calendar where you know the Washington Commander's calendar.
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:24.159
I know you got one for Christmas.
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:24.479
Yes.
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:25.759
Have you been keeping up on it?
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:27.280
No, you don't need to.
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:35.680
Now that you've got our our TikTok, you just kind of tune over into TikTok and I pretty much read the that but you know a lot of people like that.
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:40.479
You know, if you don't if you don't you don't need to buy that calendar if you end up just could just follow along.
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:41.120
Yeah, that's it.
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:46.719
Yeah, if you just get on TikTok every day and follow us, then I'll tell you the daily Redskins trivia.
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:51.360
Today's trivia was um I don't know.
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:54.719
I forget the question, but the answer was what is our monk?
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:56.319
Okay, that makes sense.
00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:57.360
Yeah, checks out.
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.719
Yeah, all-time receiving leader in 1984, something like that.
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:01.280
I don't know.
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:02.800
Uh record setting.
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:08.560
I I forget the exact question, but the old heads out there know exactly what the question was and what the answer was all.
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:10.240
It seems like you nailed it.
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:11.840
So let's just let's get started.
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:14.240
All right, let's get into our first quarter.
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:18.879
Johnson for the touchdown.
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:21.439
It is a 40 burger for the Ravens.
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:24.399
41-30 Ravens Game Day Network.
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:27.839
40 burger, Michael Burger.
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:31.839
They put up a a 40 burger on us, the Ravens here.
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:35.920
On a scale from one to who gives a shit.
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:43.920
Where do you fit that 41 to 3 ass whooping against the Ravens in preseason?
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:45.279
I don't give a shit.
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:46.800
All right, so you're all the way.
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.439
It's preseason, so that's number one.
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:53.759
And number two, it's it's preseason.
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:54.639
Like it doesn't matter.
00:04:54.800 --> 00:05:00.720
You're playing against, you know, we're playing people that nine times out of the ten probably didn't even make the damn team.
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:02.399
So it doesn't matter.
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:03.279
On both sides.
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:03.439
Yeah.
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:03.839
Okay.
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:04.879
It just doesn't matter.
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:18.480
Yeah, I understand that that um side of the argument of basically uh a bunch of commanders players that make the team or playing against a bunch of Ravens players that didn't make their team.
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:20.079
So who gives a shit?
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:33.839
The only part of the concern is if that even with whoever is on the team, if that truly is like, you know, your second or third string and we might need them, that doesn't bode well.
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:38.879
It could be, you know, look at anything that happened last season kind of thing.
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:41.920
Um, but I really take it with a grain of salt.
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:42.959
I really do.
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.879
Well, how do you how do you rank our performance against Detroit?
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:57.279
I mean, not as bad as uh not as bad as against the Ravens, but Yeah, but do you also scale it on the same scale as who gives a shit?
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:08.560
Or do you put a little bit more into it because we did actually have some players that are on the team perform and I mean I don't I don't like preseason.
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:10.480
I find it to be a complete waste.
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:17.600
I could see the argument of changing preseason to just a plethora of joint practices.
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:19.120
Because that's really all it is.
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:36.639
Take the four teams that are in your immediate vicinity, whoever's closest to you, um, and you know, draw strings for who has to travel to where, or maybe it's not even a draw strings, but it's like who can, you know, how and by strings you mean straws, so I don't know.
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:37.279
Whatever.
00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:47.439
But you you but but I'm saying like, you know, just have a bunch of joint practices for two to three days as opposed to that's all it is, it's a glorified practice game.
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:48.959
Yeah, yeah.
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:54.800
I mean it's easy for the for Washington and uh Baltimore to do that.
00:06:55.040 --> 00:07:03.600
And you know, would it be that difficult for us to skip up to uh to to Philly or New York?
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:05.839
No, but would we also want to?
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:07.199
No, not for a reason.
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:10.560
Would we skip on over to Cleveland to have a joint practice?
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:10.959
Yeah.
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:12.399
Would we go up to Pittsburgh?
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:12.879
Yeah.
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:15.680
Would we go down to the Panthers?
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:16.319
Yeah.
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:31.360
So I think I wouldn't be opposed to eliminating the preseason games because uh we set 41 players, 41 starters, 41 players that are gonna make the team didn't play.
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:40.160
Now that still leaves 50 players, but 53 make the team.
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:43.040
So what's the difference between 41 and 53 12?
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:45.920
Yeah, so you you're sitting half you're sitting half the feet.
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:55.759
But that's the thing, not all of them are on the bubble.
00:07:56.079 --> 00:08:01.360
Of those 12 guys, the coach already knew however many of them was going to make the final.
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:11.759
And if you look at how many people we just signed to the practice squad, we essentially re-signed probably, you know, those 12 people that in theory we're talking about.
00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:16.720
And I really do think that's kind of because you do need the practice squad players.
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:22.800
So that's really where that's really who's vying for a job out there.
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:34.240
It's not who makes the final roster, because if you make the practice squad, you have a chance to make the roster throughout the season, correct, depending upon injury and all that stuff.
00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:43.360
So you put no weight on the actual games that in this era of the NFL when it comes to that stuff.
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:43.919
Yeah, yeah.
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:45.519
You put no weight on the score.
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:46.720
I never have.
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:49.279
I put a little bit of weight on it.
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:55.200
I'm probably on a I'm probably a seven on the who gives a shit scale.
00:08:55.440 --> 00:09:04.960
Um, only because yeah, none of the players were there, but a 41 to three performance s says something.
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:26.399
Whether it be on the the players, the depth, the the the GM, the the coaching, um the coordinators, the the scheme, the preparedness, the hypedness, what whatever, a 41 to 3 performance even in a preseason game is pathetic.
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:28.399
No, no argument.
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:50.080
So even though you don't give a shit at all about it and hold little to no weight, I I and I can see it totally, but I'm also on the thing of I can understand from Detroit, you know, I would have liked to see our starters put more than a three-play drive.
00:09:50.960 --> 00:10:00.559
I can understand if the mindset was truly, I don't care what happens after this drive, the starters are coming out.
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:02.080
I I can see that.
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:05.519
But I can also say always make sense and appreciate it.
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:11.039
I can also say, like, yeah, one series, but we'll see.
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:12.559
We'll see.
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:16.559
But after that three out, it's kind of like, what do we need to see?
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:17.840
Get his ass out there.
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:31.679
Because after uh like our O-line is if you if you rewind a couple episodes ago, which is what we're gonna do in the second quarter here, um, we're not gonna rewind back to what I'm talking about right now.
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:41.759
But if we rewound it and went back to our depth check when we talked about the offensive line, then at that point in training camp, we were a little bit more optimistic.
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:48.960
And then Al Gretti started getting his calf cramps and then Tunzel um got his That was before all of that.
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:49.759
Yeah.
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:59.919
So at this point in in the preseason and now end season, where in we are officially in week negative one into the regular season.
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:04.720
And if you're not concerned about the O-line, you're what the hell are you doing?
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.919
Well, you gotta be concerned over the O-line, but they see him practice.
00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:09.840
Well, you got to, but some people aren't.
00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:15.919
Well, you there was a press conference a little bit ago, and we're gonna touch on that in our third quarter, and we'll have to tease for that.
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:26.399
But until we get there, we just to say, you know, what more did you need to see out of Jaden Daniels in that second preseason game?
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:34.159
I don't uh that's the whole argument that we had last pod list, whether or not he needed to come out to begin, go in the to the game to begin with.
00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:41.360
Um and you say no, but at the same time, how much do we really need to see out of Sam Hartman?
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:42.080
Not a lot.
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:43.039
You've seen enough.
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:44.000
I've seen enough.
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:45.200
I've seen enough.
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:47.200
And you know.
00:11:47.759 --> 00:12:05.120
It it is what it is, but I would like to see some type of a a change to preseason because really it's not worth the the price for season ticket holders to pay a dime for.
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:06.159
It's not worth it.
00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:08.240
Yeah, it's it's really not.
00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:10.480
Thank God we didn't go to that Ravens game.
00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:11.120
We were thinking about it.
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:12.720
Oh my god, yeah.
00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:14.320
We were thinking about it.
00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:35.840
And if not the the Beltway battle happening and it being a kind of a highly sought-after game for um, you know, families uh in turmoil with Redskins and and Ravens fans in the same household, I'm sure, is a very popular game for that for preseason and for families too.
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:43.440
Um my my nephew went to that game uh for his birthday because his birth because the ticket prices are next to nothing.
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:46.799
You can get a group game going and it's a it's a fun Friday night.
00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:56.080
But for us to scoot out of work at five o'clock and go sit in traffic um and the tickets weren't all that cheap, let's be honest.
00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:57.840
They they fluctuated.
00:12:57.919 --> 00:13:05.360
There was probably a week and we mentioned it in that podcast where the ticket prices were around 17 bucks.
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:15.440
But after we had mentioned it, I guess everybody heard our podcast and went up and drove the ticket prices up because at one point the cheapest ticket in the stadium was a hundred bucks.
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:18.000
And then that's crazy.
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:22.240
And then uh I think for a preseason game, you don't spend that kind of money.
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:31.519
A day or two before the game, I had checked prices and they had gotten up to like 30, uh, 35, 36, 37, which isn't hateful.
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:36.399
And I'm sure as the game got closer and closer, people were just trying to get rid of them.
00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:58.960
But yeah, I I I and I wasn't about to do that same Friday night preseason game that we did to drive down to DC, get to the game late, sit in traffic, get be all frustrated, not have enough time to tailgate, have any fun, go in, it's just and watch a bunch watch a bunch of guys that aren't gonna be on the team.
00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:04.240
I mean, we did that in you know, in our home preseason game.
00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:15.120
And it it's crazy because it's a testament to what the product on the field really means to be able to go to one of those games.
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:20.080
They're exhausting to go to for the fan base, uh, as opposed to just sitting up.
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:27.759
The alternative is sitting on your couch in comfort and correct and and you know, not spending a dime, right?
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:32.000
Versus it's it's a handful to go to these games.
00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:40.159
I don't care if you live right across the street, but for us to drive an hour and a half to go to the game and an hour and a half back and then enjoy ourselves while we're there, which is why we like to do it.
00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:41.440
We like to make a big event out of it.
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:46.639
Obviously, we create the damn podcaster out of how much we love going to these damn games.
00:14:46.960 --> 00:15:04.879
But you know, if the game, if the product on the field sucks, then you know it's not worth being at so much so to where how much fun do we have at the boxcar game to where you know that was you know what I mean?
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:08.720
And because not just the product on the field is why we were there.
00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:23.840
The minor league baseball games have really captured, you know, they they really capture a certain energy, and and not that's that's not to say that they don't do that at the NFL games too, but on a large scale like that is it's really hard to do that.
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:26.480
Yeah, and for like minor league 40,000 people.
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:27.440
One, it's close.
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:35.279
Your commute is 15 minutes, two, it's a small stadium, so there's not a bad seat anywhere.
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:38.480
And it's just the tickets are super cheap.
00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:43.360
So it's just a it's a cheap, fun thing to do in your local town.
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:43.919
Yeah.
00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:45.519
The boxcar game was so fun.
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:45.840
Yeah.
00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:50.000
I mean, those seats were my company's tickets for right down on the field.
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:54.320
If anybody uh is is I've never sat in those seats before.
00:15:54.399 --> 00:16:07.919
I always wondered how you got those seats, or like, but now I know, yeah, you know, anybody's from the Hagerstown area uh or Washington County or surrounding area, you should definitely check out a Hagerstown boxcar game.
00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:16.240
Um and definitely try to get those those first three rows behind home plate because they're sunk in.
00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:24.320
And so if you're sitting on that front row, your eye level is probably a foot and a half above the ground.
00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:28.720
So you're at like the catcher's mit um eye level.
00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:35.279
And then obviously we were sitting on the second row up, which kind of put us right at the umpire, right?
00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:38.720
And then third row, uh just a smidge high up from there.
00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:41.919
But man, the and we're and we're basically sitting in the dugout.
00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:42.480
I know.
00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:45.039
Well, yeah, that's how you got to the seats.
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:47.600
You you went down like you were a player and walked.
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:52.080
Well, that's uh how I figured out how to get to my seats was I'd passed a player.
00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:54.000
He was gonna use the restroom.
00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:55.679
He's like, Are you trying to get to your seats?
00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:56.879
I'm like, Yes, please.
00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:00.799
And he's like, just go up there when you hit the dugout, hang it right.
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:04.799
Okay, and so that's how that went down.
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:13.279
But yeah, the boxcar games and the little league game, or not the little league, the uh minor league minor league, the they're they're just a blast.
00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:18.640
They've really been able to capture like what people r really love about baseball.
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:25.920
Uh and the Savannah Bananas, man, they've taken a minor league game and turned it somehow into like a whole production.
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:30.079
Yeah, but I'm not paying like 300 bucks for a ticket to a savannah banana game.
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:34.559
I tell you what, though, man, I I would love to go to that, but I'm not paying that kind of money.
00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:35.599
I just will not go.
00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:43.519
I tell you what, though, I bet everybody that goes to those games tells you that the ticket price is is worth it.
00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:45.440
But I hear you.
00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:51.599
To to take three people to one of those games and it costs you a grand is a little bit much.
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:52.000
Yeah.
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:53.039
I hear you.
00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:53.920
I hear you.
00:17:54.160 --> 00:18:01.599
But hey, I want to get into um kind of what the instant replay segment was designed for to a degree.
00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:11.039
We wanted the instant replay segment to be what people commented on the last uh episode on what we said said wrong and what we said right.
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:20.000
But I'm gonna call us out and do an instant replay and call us out on what we said right and what we said wrong for for this week's episode.
00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:32.240
Let's see that in an instant replay.
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:36.240
Will Robert Henry Jr.
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:37.039
make the team?
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:37.920
I don't know.
00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:43.200
He look, I I kind of like the way he looks, but will he look that way against first stringers?
00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:43.839
I don't know.
00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:45.759
They would know because they practice.
00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:50.880
And just because you have one good game, that doesn't necessarily mean you're gonna make the team, okay?
00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:56.720
You're gonna have one good game or one good series or whatever, and it it doesn't seal the deal for you.
00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:58.960
They they will cut you 9 a.m.
00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:01.839
the next day and not think twice about it.
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:12.960
Um you like to think Catron's gonna make the team because he's the rookie, but I mean, they're both rookies, but Catron was drafted.
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:24.400
I I think Jerome Fords, the odd man out in the running back room, is when you have guys like Jaden Bradley, who had the awesome one-handed catch in yesterday's game.
00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:27.279
Kind of you're like, Yeah, I mean that was pretty awesome.
00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:29.599
I I will give it an awesome catch.
00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:33.119
It was an awesome catch from um what's the guy's name?
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:35.200
Kalam Kamak in this?
00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:36.400
Uh Praying Mannis.
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:37.759
Praying manis.
00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:39.759
You like praying manace.
00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:41.519
Kalikazoo, who cares?
00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:42.160
Yeah.
00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:46.240
But I mean, he he's had pretty good preseason two games.
00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:54.960
He's he's he's he's he's done well enough to be in discussion as to whatever they're gonna do with quarterback.
00:19:55.920 --> 00:20:06.640
Got Terry McLaurin, Stefan Diggs, McCaffrey, Williams, Brown, Lane, Jefferson, Nash, Jones, and Bradley.
00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:11.599
That are those are all the wide receivers listed on the depth chart.
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:20.000
Now, Bradley, I don't I don't know just because I said his name last, I mean, I don't know if he was dead last on their death, official death chart.
00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:21.119
Yeah, who knows?
00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:27.359
So I want you to assume that we're gonna take six guys on the active roster.
00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:29.200
Okay, I need to do that is ten.
00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:39.759
So tell me four names that aren't going to make the team out of those ten names that I just went through.
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:41.759
That's easy, it's the bottom four.
00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:45.759
Jefferson, Jones, Nash, and Bradley.
00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:46.400
Boom.
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:51.599
My instant replay.
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:58.960
This is us live now, just so people know, because that clips was our voice, and so now it's but that was last week.
00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:00.160
Now this is back to us.
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:00.640
Right.
00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:06.400
I tried to put some sound effects in there so people would know the difference because it's not like we aged or anything.
00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:07.200
Yes.
00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:10.720
So we're last we nailed it, bro.
00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:12.799
Yeah, maybe almost nailed it.
00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:14.559
We're rarely ever wrong.
00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:15.599
Almost nailed it.
00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:17.359
Unless Tom is less than a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit more.
00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:25.759
There was one mistake, and I made sure to put it in that sound bite, but there was one mistake from that.
00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:32.000
Um when I was rambling off wide receivers, I forgot to say Burks.
00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:34.960
I forgot to say Burks last week.
00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:42.319
So when we were going through our list and we were trying to figure out who makes the team, Burks was left out of my list.
00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:48.079
But I think we both would have agreed that he was gonna make the team after the play of the year last year.
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:50.160
The catch of the year, I should say.
00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:56.400
Um, so let's kind of get into um cut day.
00:21:56.640 --> 00:21:59.759
Uh we've been I I think.
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:04.000
Thought that we might take four running backs.
00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:05.039
We didn't.
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:06.720
I mean, maybe we did.
00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:12.400
We kind of did because um what's his name?
00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:15.200
Uh McNichols is uh on the IR.
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:16.079
Correct.
00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:32.160
So we've got on our week one roster as of right now, because if you listen to Dan Quinn and Adam Peters' uh press conference today, which I recommend everybody go back to listen to, and we'll have one little soundbite here later on in the pod.
00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:34.559
But uh I recommend go back and listen to that.
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:37.039
They were very revealing today.
00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:43.599
Um, you know, that our our guys are pretty transparent.
00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:49.599
Uh a lot of other organizations cloth hold things really close to the chest.
00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:55.920
Um historically, you know, you you couldn't get anything out of Belichick, right?
00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:00.720
He was he was kind of like the upper echelon of like, I ain't gonna tell you nothing.
00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:06.400
And then you've got um, I would say we're kind of in the middle of the pack there.
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:12.319
Um you got guys like historically, like Mike McDaniel, who would he'd say way too much.
00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:22.559
You know, those make for like the the best sound bites, but uh when coaches just say way too much, they historically don't really last that long either.
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:28.480
Um Dan Quinn and and Dana Peters are somewhere in the middle, and and maybe that's by design.
00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:33.839
You want people to know that we're still looking because our roster's definitely not complete.
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:39.440
Uh Bill, uh Rashad White and Katron Allen uh are our running backs.
00:23:39.599 --> 00:23:44.880
Uh obviously, we cut um Jerome Ford and Henry Jr.
00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:56.160
are uh preseason uh highlight reel, basically, in that first and uh a couple plays there in the in the second uh preseason game.
00:23:56.319 --> 00:23:59.279
But he's gone, but is he gone, Henry Jr.?
00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:00.559
Is he gone gone?
00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:04.079
Um as far as I know, yeah.
00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:05.759
Is he on our practice squad?
00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:07.759
Oh no, yeah, sorry.
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:17.039
Um I was going through a couple different screenshots of information, but yeah, we we signed him today back to the uh back to the practice squad.
00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:20.319
And then uh wide receiver, we took seven.
00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:28.079
I thought maybe we would just stick with six, which is why the whole conversation even happened last week's episode was who we were gonna take.
00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:45.519
I thought based upon six, but we ended up taking seven uh wide receivers, and that being obviously Diggs, Terry, Antonio Williams, Luke McCaffrey, Traylon Burks, um Jalen Lane, and Deami Brown uh wraps out our wide receivers.
00:24:46.079 --> 00:25:05.680
Um was a little bit surprised also that four uh tight ends, but tight ends historically being very good special teams players, so uh with some question marks happening at offensive line, I'm I'm not surprised a little bit that there's an extra tight end there.
00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:09.039
I don't know if four tight ends is that common around the league.
00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:21.279
I'd I'd really like to see a snapshot like a spreadsheet of the teams, the position group, and how many that they chose to carry at each position.
00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:22.160
Because there's some teams.
00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:24.799
Well, I do know Cleveland's carrying four quarterbacks.
00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:25.440
I did catch.
00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:33.440
And you were mentioning yesterday in a text message thread that we're a part of that uh Miami only had one as of yesterday.
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:39.839
Yeah, for a short time they only had one until um they traded with somebody I can't remember.
00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:41.279
Minnesota?
00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:42.079
Green Bay.
00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:42.960
Green Bay.
00:25:43.519 --> 00:25:44.079
Green Bay.
00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:44.559
Yeah.
00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:47.119
They traded for somebody in on Green Bay.
00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:54.480
But man, they are But yeah, for a for a hot minute yesterday, they only had one quarterback on their roster in Miami.
00:25:54.799 --> 00:26:05.519
Well, speaking of position groups that you really don't have a lot of depth in, we only have three cornerbacks because Trey Amos was designated to the IR uh to start the season.
00:26:05.680 --> 00:26:10.000
And then outside of that, we've got Douglas Sanestro and Amik Robertson.
00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:19.039
Uh so we definitely are looking at cornerback because I you're not taking three corners.
00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:21.279
You're not taking three corners.
00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:34.559
And also the I I was kind of surprised, and I would see safety very similar as tight end to where those guys are probably very good special teamers.
00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:46.640
So we do have five safeties on the squad, but maybe we felt it necessary to keep an extra defensive back so we could get another defensive back.
00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:48.400
Trade piece, got it.
00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:49.279
You know what I mean?
00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:56.000
That's kind of where my head's at, because why would we keep five safeties and only three corners?
00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:57.759
Yeah, I mean, you you're right.
00:26:58.000 --> 00:27:02.240
It stands that the the roster isn't quite done.
00:27:02.319 --> 00:27:06.160
They still have you know a week, essentially.
00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:17.680
Uh and why Tunsil wasn't uh automatically put on the IR to start off with was a little bit confusing because you can do that.
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:24.160
I thought that was kind of anticipated right off the bat, but maybe there's still we I just assumed it was already done, tell you the truth.
00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:25.279
No, it's not.
00:27:25.599 --> 00:27:28.079
As of this podcast, he's not on the IR.
00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:32.720
So we'll leave that to another brilliant decision by our head coach.
00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:35.920
There's there's a lot of question marks.
00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:40.319
Um not necessarily as pu puzzle pieces.
00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:44.160
Not not I I mean, I'm I'm I'm cool.
00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:46.319
I'm cool with the with the roster.
00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:47.279
What do you think?
00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:53.279
I mean, you kind of knew that we were gonna take your boy uh praying manis.
00:27:53.680 --> 00:28:00.160
Um so but I mean, and we God, we knew I mean that was the least surprising thing.
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:02.160
I mean, not not to me.
00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:04.160
You know what the least surprising thing is?
00:28:04.400 --> 00:28:07.039
Sam Hartman re-signed to the practice squad.
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:21.839
Well, yeah, that I was gonna follow up on one, it wasn't surprising that we cut him, but then um when I got here before we, you know, went on air and saw that we re-signed him, it was like me.
00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:23.279
I'm on record.
00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:27.119
Because, like, what why are we re-signing him to the practice squad?
00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:29.200
Because I I don't understand it.
00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:31.440
He had a shot last season.
00:28:31.599 --> 00:28:33.759
We could have used him, but we didn't.
00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:35.599
We chose not to, okay?
00:28:35.920 --> 00:28:45.200
So it makes sense to release him when you have this guy, you know, praying manace, you know, Gallifhenakus, whatever.
00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:45.680
Okay.
00:28:46.160 --> 00:28:46.720
It makes sense.
00:28:47.119 --> 00:28:48.079
Gallicomanis?
00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:48.480
Yeah.
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:49.759
I feel like I just nailed it.
00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:50.240
There you go.
00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:51.519
G Gallicomanis.
00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:52.079
There you go.
00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:53.519
No, no, I said it.
00:28:53.680 --> 00:28:55.200
Well, I don't know what I just said.
00:28:55.599 --> 00:28:56.079
Doesn't matter.
00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:56.799
You didn't say it.
00:28:57.039 --> 00:28:59.759
Play it next week, the instant replay, okay?
00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:04.240
Uh but we I hope we don't I don't I hope we never say his name.
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:05.680
I hope he never sees the figure.
00:29:06.079 --> 00:29:06.640
We cut him.
00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:08.720
There's no reason to re-sign him.
00:29:08.960 --> 00:29:11.519
So why are we re-signing him to practice squad?
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:22.559
Because we already know that we're even if there is an in injury, God forbid, and he goes to the major officer, he ain't gonna do anything but warm the goddamn bench.
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:24.480
So what are we doing?
00:29:24.640 --> 00:29:26.960
Yeah, I uh he he's what are we doing?
00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:28.400
He's so confusing.
00:29:28.480 --> 00:29:30.480
I uh it is so confusing.
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:46.000
I need to re I wonder if he was asked uh if DQ or uh uh Peters was asked about it, but I mean maybe he's maybe he's just a really good practice scout team quarterback.
00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:47.279
Maybe he can run like that.
00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:48.880
That's not a good enough reason.
00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:49.920
I don't know.
00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:52.799
Yeah, all right.
00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:57.279
And it can't be because uh I mean, realistically, right?
00:29:57.359 --> 00:30:00.720
It can't be because he's the pretty boy quarterback, right?
00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:05.039
Like it that can't be the sole reason, like that can't be the justification.
00:30:05.359 --> 00:30:16.160
I mean, right the only other thing that I could think of, Mike, is because I would like it to be it's maybe it's a mentality thing of your starting quarterback.
00:30:16.319 --> 00:30:28.160
Maybe they really are just good, really good friends, really good buddies, and you know, they don't want to shake the mentality of the starting quarterback, you know.
00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:29.920
They don't want to mess with anything.
00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:40.799
You know, if he's if Jaden's happy with with Hartman in the room and they get along and he's a good coworker, then keep him around uh because he's not gonna be able to do it.
00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:42.480
But he serves no purpose.
00:30:43.200 --> 00:30:44.880
He must serve a purpose in this.
00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:46.319
He must serve a purpose.
00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:51.759
In this scenario that we're living, Mariota is out for the foreseeable future.
00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:53.279
No, no, that's not true.
00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:54.160
That's not true.
00:30:54.240 --> 00:30:55.599
Not not as of today.
00:30:55.759 --> 00:31:13.039
As of today, Al Gretti, uh Mariota, um a uh Daron Payne, and I forget the other uh player that was was dealing with injury throughout training camp, but they are all projected to be all ready to go by week one.
00:31:13.440 --> 00:31:14.400
Okay, all right, okay.
00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:28.319
So I also wouldn't be surprised if our boy Praying Manis, Galifanacus, Callan Camanis, is ready to go four week, or no, I mean off the active roster on week one because other people have made it.
00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:34.319
I I I wouldn't be surprised if just over the next couple weeks he's on the 53 and then just gets dropped down.
00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:38.400
I don't know how that goes, but like that doesn't make any sense.
00:31:39.039 --> 00:31:40.400
Yeah, it just doesn't.
00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:48.480
Because then why because why that because Hartman is still a question mark.
00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:49.279
I don't know.
00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:54.240
And the next the next well, no, I w I won't say that.
00:31:55.599 --> 00:31:59.759
He's Hartman this better be his last season, is all I'm gonna do.
00:31:59.839 --> 00:32:01.119
I'll and I'll end with that.
00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:06.160
This better be Hartman's last season as a commander because I'm tired of him.
00:32:06.720 --> 00:32:08.319
Just on the team.
00:32:09.200 --> 00:32:20.640
You can't be on the practice squad for four seasons in a row and and and have no op no chance to get elevated to the starting position.
00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:25.920
And when you had the chance they specifically chose not to do it.
00:32:26.319 --> 00:32:33.920
I told you last week that he if we cut him, he wasn't gonna get picked up by anybody else.
00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:39.359
Well, and and that proved to be factual, so I don't know.
00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:42.319
I could we could talk an entire podcast on this.
00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:44.559
He's a jackalope, you know.
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:46.240
He's a jackalope.
00:32:46.559 --> 00:32:47.359
Boneheaded decision.
00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:52.160
The next bone-headed decision is they'll keep him and cut Galapanakis.
00:32:52.319 --> 00:33:07.440
So your boy's in Jackalope, and and we are a little bit salty about it, which leads us right into our live ad read for Half Chicken Man.
00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:10.799
Legendary craft seasonings.
00:33:11.039 --> 00:33:12.240
The Jackalope.
00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:16.319
Classic salt and pepper garlic rub.
00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:25.839
What you have here is a classic salt and pepper garlic rub, synonymous with Central Texas barbecue.
00:33:26.079 --> 00:33:33.279
We blended the perfect ratio of SPG and Jack-Ope to complement the flavors in meat.
00:33:34.079 --> 00:33:35.200
That's what she said.
00:33:35.359 --> 00:33:40.559
So that it's not that's not what it says here on the it doesn't say that on the side of this thing.
00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:41.759
That was on ad lemon.
00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:44.400
Yeah, I'm I'm ad lemon.
00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:56.000
Salt enhances flavor while pepper and garlic hit the perfect balance that is a staple for the best barbecue joints in the world.
00:33:56.480 --> 00:34:09.519
This pairs well with chicken, beef, turkey, burgers, veggies, and let me tell you, it pairs well with the chupacabra.
00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:13.199
I limited that last part too.
00:34:13.519 --> 00:34:14.159
Brilliant.
00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:18.480
But this is the half chicken man, you got you gotta try half chicken man.
00:34:18.559 --> 00:34:23.519
Go on half chickenman.com and use promo code guess what?
00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:24.320
Command.
00:34:24.800 --> 00:34:28.559
Command for it now for 15% off of your order.
00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:29.760
You guys gotta try it.
00:34:29.840 --> 00:34:37.679
They've got the Jackalope, they got the Yeti, and then their classic Half Chicken Man Hot Honey Rub.
00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:39.679
So gotta check them out.
00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:47.039
And we leave you with that to go straight into our third quarter where we're gonna get real spicy.
00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:50.880
Uh with that, go ahead, guys.
00:34:51.039 --> 00:34:53.039
All right, so this is for both Dan and Adam.
00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:55.519
How would you assess the offensive line at this point?
00:34:55.679 --> 00:34:58.239
I are there any concerns about interior back.
00:34:59.039 --> 00:35:03.760
I loved that the amount of work that uh Sam and Josh on the right side have gotten.
00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:07.599
I love the amount of work that Chris and BC have gotten.
00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:13.280
And uh with Brandon, obviously like Laramie going down, like that sucks.
00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:16.000
And so we're still working through Warewide Center.
00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:18.559
We're excited to get Nick back into the fold today, John.
00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:23.679
So we'll have a you know good sense of him working this week and then the next week with Matt as well.
00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:28.880
So um, but I don't want lost like you know, the battery of the right side and the left side.
00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:30.800
I've gotten a lot of good work in together.
00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:39.760
So um I'm excited to see what can all this week and then into next week bring if with Nick and um kind of rolling with him and that and get going from there.
00:35:40.880 --> 00:35:50.960
So the third quarter pretty much just gonna be like a pulse check, a gut check, uh uh how we really feel going into uh week zero.
00:35:51.119 --> 00:35:52.880
Uh, because it was cut day today.
00:35:52.960 --> 00:35:58.639
Now, obviously, there's we just discussed there's lots of moving parts and pieces that still need to be had.
00:35:58.960 --> 00:35:59.199
Correct.
00:35:59.840 --> 00:36:10.000
Um we'll we'll just start off with the the bad to kind of play off of last week's episode of the good, the bad, and the bubble this week.
00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:14.880
We'll we'll just start off with you know, what are your concerns, Mike?
00:36:15.039 --> 00:36:16.559
Kind of start us off.
00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:20.000
Uh obviously, we just heard the clip clip from Dan Quinn.
00:36:20.400 --> 00:36:26.000
Uh, and his first question asked in the press conference was about the offensive line.
00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:28.239
So Because it's a fucking concern.
00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:29.280
Okay, all right.
00:36:29.360 --> 00:36:30.880
Well, tell us how you really feel.
00:36:31.280 --> 00:36:35.519
And if you're not concerned about it, you shouldn't be coaching in the goddamn league.
00:36:35.760 --> 00:36:36.079
Okay.
00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:41.599
We're if that's his answer, and you can watch the whole press conference, who gives a shit?
00:36:41.760 --> 00:36:42.559
We're fucked.
00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:43.280
Okay.
00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:48.800
If that's how you answer that question, fire him now.
00:36:49.039 --> 00:36:55.920
Yeah, and we apologize for for you dads out there that's got a 12-year-old kid in the car, but you know, that's your bad.
00:36:56.000 --> 00:36:58.719
You know that this is an explicit con podcast.
00:36:58.800 --> 00:37:00.320
So this is ridiculous.
00:37:00.719 --> 00:37:10.239
I mean, but you know, at the same time, you know, that 12-year-old boy sees the same thing that we do, that our offensive line is there's a concern there.
00:37:10.480 --> 00:37:17.840
And you've known for as long as we've been talking about it all fucking preseason, you need to fix it.
00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:19.280
But they're not fixing it.
00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:23.199
They're relying on Well, I hate to play a little devil's advocate here.
00:37:23.599 --> 00:37:24.000
Go ahead.
00:37:24.079 --> 00:37:24.480
Go ahead.
00:37:24.639 --> 00:37:24.960
Go ahead.
00:37:25.199 --> 00:37:35.920
Well, go check back with our with our boy T O M who who uh had shot out in a text message not too long ago when as soon as Tutson went down and asked you, you see the incumbents check in.
00:37:36.400 --> 00:37:36.960
Yeah, yeah, okay.
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:44.159
They're really now a couple weeks past, and I'm like, well, I think and then we did sign somebody at left tackle.
00:37:44.400 --> 00:37:46.559
But here's the thing I'm not the head coach.
00:37:46.719 --> 00:37:47.119
Yeah.
00:37:47.360 --> 00:37:50.239
Ultimately, it's not my responsibility.
00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:52.159
This guy's shitting the bed on this.
00:37:52.480 --> 00:38:00.320
I mean, they fit in well in Washington because that was a very political, politician-you know, it was a bullshit non-answer, is what it was.
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:01.119
It really was.
00:38:01.280 --> 00:38:04.400
I mean, but at the same time, what are they both supposed to say?
00:38:04.639 --> 00:38:11.119
The head coach sitting there with the GM has asked about the offensive line, and you know, what are else are they supposed to say?
00:38:11.519 --> 00:38:15.119
You could be honest and say, yeah, we've got some improvements that need to be made.
00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:15.840
We're looking.
00:38:16.079 --> 00:38:17.199
Yeah, no, I agree.
00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:18.800
You could be honest and say that.
00:38:19.039 --> 00:38:19.679
You could.
00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:29.119
You certainly instead of that stupid non-answer, well, we we like this guy because he snapped us three times, and we like this guy because he did this.
00:38:29.280 --> 00:38:30.719
Whoopt he fucking do.
00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:41.119
Just oh man, I can't wait to turn this little segment into a TikTok video where I just push bleep every single time you've had to talk here.
00:38:41.360 --> 00:38:42.719
It's gonna be fun.
00:38:43.280 --> 00:38:46.320
Not that I disagree, because I don't disagree.
00:38:46.400 --> 00:38:52.800
I think we've got we have we have serious things, and I've been saying it since Tunsil went down that we will sign.
00:38:53.039 --> 00:38:59.440
I've I've had faith in Peters that we will sign a legitimate left tackle to kind of get us over the hump here.
00:38:59.679 --> 00:39:15.119
Now, it unless I mean they must they must see something that we don't, but at the same time, why did we sign Tuncil to a$30 million contract if we were just gonna be okay with Coleman being there until November?
00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:21.280
Right, right, right, because clearly you weren't okay a few months ago.
00:39:21.679 --> 00:39:42.400
Right, you know, so it's like now all of a sudden, yeah, this is they admit, yeah, we're you know, you know, but at the same time, in outside of trading who, and out try outside of trading what, you know, what can they really sacrifice is a is another question, you know.
00:39:42.960 --> 00:39:44.639
And that's the flip side of the coin at this point.
00:39:45.119 --> 00:39:49.920
And maybe that's why we have five safeties and four tight ends and and seven wide receivers.
00:39:50.239 --> 00:39:51.280
I don't know.
00:39:51.599 --> 00:39:59.280
But maybe that's why it's because our our roster looks a little bit disheveled and incomplete right now.
00:39:59.360 --> 00:40:04.320
It's definitely not ready for the Philadelphia Eagles, just in terms of the depth.
00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:17.039
Now, let's transition this as easily and as strategically as we can to like the things that we're okay with.
00:40:17.199 --> 00:40:20.000
What are we comfortable with, Mike?
00:40:20.159 --> 00:40:27.760
Like, because next week's podcast, whether you realize it or not, we're gonna project, we're gonna project the the the the season.
00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:29.440
We're gonna put a prediction out there.
00:40:30.239 --> 00:40:31.039
I assumed as much.
00:40:31.360 --> 00:40:33.039
Yeah, week zero is that's what we do.
00:40:33.119 --> 00:40:44.719
We gotta we gotta predict now that we know our roster, and after we've done our fantasy drafts and but ahead of week one, we gotta put a win-loss to every game.
00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:51.599
And everybody hates this little exercise, especially me, especially after last season where we thought we were gonna go 12 and 5.
00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:54.480
Yeah, I thought we weren't gonna bring that up anymore, but yeah.
00:40:57.920 --> 00:41:01.519
Oh my you lucky son of a bitch.
00:41:02.639 --> 00:41:03.760
What'd you do?
00:41:04.639 --> 00:41:11.519
Well, remember that comment that I just had about clipping uh this for TikTok and being able to bleep out everything?
00:41:11.760 --> 00:41:12.559
Yeah, yeah.
00:41:12.719 --> 00:41:18.400
Well, my my TikTok-y camera wasn't even recording, so lucky.
00:41:19.440 --> 00:41:25.039
Yeah, lucky because that would have got you all, we would have got all the likes and all the stuff, you know.
00:41:25.280 --> 00:41:32.320
Well, we can still get all the likes and all the stuff because I mean we've we've moved on, we can we can go back, but I just don't understand.
00:41:32.800 --> 00:41:35.599
You know, and I'm gonna call a couple people out here.
00:41:35.840 --> 00:41:36.159
All right.
00:41:36.320 --> 00:41:38.480
You you got you guys ready for this?
00:41:38.719 --> 00:41:42.960
I'm gonna call a couple of you out because you guys?
00:41:43.280 --> 00:41:44.239
Yeah, you guys.
00:41:44.559 --> 00:41:46.960
I want to call a couple of youth guys out there.
00:41:47.039 --> 00:41:51.440
And by you guys, I'm talking about our listeners, okay?
00:41:51.840 --> 00:41:55.440
Because all three hundred and ninety-seven of them, okay.
00:41:55.760 --> 00:41:59.039
Hey, you know, it's we're we're a growing we we are.
00:41:59.280 --> 00:42:02.639
So what who who are you who or what are you calling out?
00:42:03.039 --> 00:42:03.360
Exactly.
00:42:03.519 --> 00:42:04.239
Thank you.
00:42:04.480 --> 00:42:13.760
Uh we've got a listener out there in Washington, the state of Washington, and we've got a listener out there uh in the state of Oregon.
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:15.920
Um that's out there on the West Coast?
00:42:16.159 --> 00:42:18.159
Yeah, all the way out there on the West Coast.
00:42:18.400 --> 00:42:27.360
Now, when I say I know we got listeners, because we get certain analytics, all I know is they download our episode uh from a specific uh location.
00:42:27.679 --> 00:42:28.800
And we thank them for that.
00:42:29.119 --> 00:42:34.719
Of course we do, but I also see that they listen to every they download every podcast.
00:42:34.960 --> 00:42:35.920
But you know what?
00:42:36.159 --> 00:42:37.199
So they're loyal listeners.
00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:38.719
They're a loyal listener.
00:42:39.039 --> 00:42:40.159
We like those even more.
00:42:40.400 --> 00:42:41.039
But you know what?
00:42:41.119 --> 00:42:42.559
This is why I'm calling them out.
00:42:42.800 --> 00:42:43.119
Okay.
00:42:43.840 --> 00:42:50.000
Well, the listen, the one listener we have in Oregon and the one listener we have in the state of Washington.
00:42:50.239 --> 00:42:50.400
Okay.
00:42:51.360 --> 00:42:51.519
Okay.
00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:56.000
I want them to expand the command the commute network out there.
00:42:56.239 --> 00:42:58.000
We need more than just one of you.
00:42:58.559 --> 00:43:03.199
So you're you're tasking them with doing more sharing of their stuff.
00:43:03.280 --> 00:43:03.440
Yeah.
00:43:04.800 --> 00:43:05.119
Yes.
00:43:05.280 --> 00:43:12.480
I want two listeners in Washington, and I want two listeners in the state of Oregon, right?
00:43:12.639 --> 00:43:20.639
And so I need them to share this segment of the podcast because whether you're on Apple or on Spotify, and guess what?
00:43:20.800 --> 00:43:32.880
Next week, I'll know what you're listening to us on, whether it's a uh Apple, Spotify, Amazon, and whether it's your phone or your web browser, I'm going to find out because I get those analytics.
00:43:32.960 --> 00:43:34.480
I don't like an exciting time to be.
00:43:34.960 --> 00:43:36.159
I don't get more than that, okay?
00:43:36.239 --> 00:43:40.880
I'm not gonna stalk you and figure out where you live, but hey, if you do want you're underachieving.
00:43:41.199 --> 00:43:55.360
If you do want us to send you some merch or something like that, then I want you to get into our DMs on Instagram, get into our DMs on TikTok, and then I want you to say, Hey, I'm the guy from Spokane, Washington.
00:43:55.440 --> 00:43:59.519
You called out in the last podcast, and I've shared the podcast with three other people.
00:44:01.039 --> 00:44:02.639
But I know that person.
00:44:02.960 --> 00:44:11.760
Um, I know that person's just out there, just listening to this, cracking up, because everything I'm saying is 100% true.
00:44:12.000 --> 00:44:12.800
No argument.
00:44:12.960 --> 00:44:13.599
You know what?
00:44:13.760 --> 00:44:15.599
And what about our expand the network?
00:44:15.920 --> 00:44:17.679
And what about our Singaporeans?
00:44:17.840 --> 00:44:19.280
They're doing their work out there.
00:44:19.360 --> 00:44:20.880
We've got more than two or three listeners.
00:44:21.119 --> 00:44:24.159
I think their job is just to help translate the dialogue.
00:44:24.400 --> 00:44:24.800
You know what?
00:44:24.880 --> 00:44:29.119
I'd actually give some honest thought to our Singaporean listeners down there.
00:44:29.280 --> 00:44:30.000
You know what?
00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:45.440
I think you know, we get these random emails sometimes from people that wanna that tell me that our SEO analytic optimization is bad and they want us to pay them 50 bucks to to optimize it all out.
00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:48.960
I think that might be our Singaporean listener.
00:44:49.039 --> 00:44:52.639
I think I think that sounds like a bunch of bullshit and you shouldn't do it.
00:44:52.880 --> 00:44:54.960
Have we just we collectively shouldn't do it?
00:44:55.119 --> 00:44:56.400
Oh no, we're not gonna do it.
00:44:56.480 --> 00:45:04.559
But I'm trying to figure out where these because I'll get these random emails that just say, uh, hey, we listen to your podcast and we'd love your content, and da da da da da.
00:45:05.199 --> 00:45:12.800
But we've uh we we think that if you just did this, this, this, this, and this, we could expand your your listening and subscriber network.
00:45:13.039 --> 00:45:35.280
And then I look at their name and where they're from, and I'm like, wait, what how are you there's no way you listen to one of the podcast episodes, but unless they're from Singapore, and I'm only saying that because listen, if you are from Singapore and you are listening to the podcast and you are a Redskins fan, I've asked you numerous times to one, tell me what you go by.
00:45:35.440 --> 00:45:40.639
Are you a Singaporean, a Singaporeanish, or are you just a Singapore no?
00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:41.679
I want to know.
00:45:41.920 --> 00:45:45.360
It's definitely not the last two that you just rattled off.
00:45:45.679 --> 00:45:48.079
Well, I like I said, I've asked.
00:45:48.239 --> 00:45:54.480
They've got the internet over there, they can just go on to however they're listening to this and just push comment.
00:45:54.639 --> 00:45:57.760
We go by Singaporean, the first one.
00:45:58.000 --> 00:46:00.480
It's I don't think it's Singaporean.
00:46:01.039 --> 00:46:05.199
That's just what we keep saying, but we're definitely wrong.
00:46:06.159 --> 00:46:09.280
It'd be like saying, What do they call down there in Maryland?
00:46:09.440 --> 00:46:13.039
Morlandos, you know, it's not that's not right.
00:46:13.119 --> 00:46:14.320
It's Marylanders.
00:46:14.800 --> 00:46:16.719
We're Marylanders, that's right.
00:46:17.199 --> 00:46:20.079
Without whatever it is you just did there.
00:46:20.320 --> 00:46:22.079
Hey, we're tracking the Jack.
00:46:22.159 --> 00:46:24.400
You know, this podcast, especially when we're gonna be able to do that.
00:46:24.559 --> 00:46:40.320
But let's get back to what we were already talking about, which is if we continue to play like shit like we did uh against the Ravens, and if Dan Quake continues to be uh so non-committal on the moves that we need to make.
00:46:41.119 --> 00:46:42.159
I just gone.
00:46:42.239 --> 00:46:43.199
I just is gone.
00:46:43.360 --> 00:46:46.480
I just and replace him with anyone I don't give a shit at this point.
00:46:46.639 --> 00:46:47.199
I don't give a shit.
00:46:47.360 --> 00:46:51.280
I mean, you are you are the head coach, you need to be concerned about this stuff.
00:46:51.360 --> 00:47:04.400
And going into a press conference, you should be prepared for every freaking question that could come across, okay, for the video fucking question, okay, that could come across, okay.
00:47:04.559 --> 00:47:05.599
You need to be prepared.
00:47:05.679 --> 00:47:11.599
If you're not prepared, going into a press conference, oh, they surprised us with the question, then you're not doing your job right, okay?
00:47:11.920 --> 00:47:13.440
Yeah, flat out.
00:47:14.480 --> 00:47:16.960
I appreciate everything you just said.
00:47:17.119 --> 00:47:31.760
Uh, I will say to the first portion that you just said, you did contradict yourself a little bit because it's either the preseason, you don't give a shit about it, and it meant nothing, or you did see something out of the preseason that you didn't like and now you're using it against them.
00:47:31.920 --> 00:47:32.880
So which one is it?
00:47:33.039 --> 00:47:37.039
It either didn't mean anything or it means something.
00:47:39.840 --> 00:47:40.800
Good point.
00:47:41.280 --> 00:47:42.000
There it is.
00:47:42.159 --> 00:47:53.280
So you contemplate that as you you you put your head down to sleep tonight, and you figure out by the next podcast where you land on the preseason because they either showed us something or nothing.
00:47:53.440 --> 00:47:56.239
I either give a shit about it or I don't give a shit about it.
00:47:56.320 --> 00:47:57.039
That was the scale.
00:47:57.199 --> 00:47:57.440
Right.
00:47:58.000 --> 00:48:06.000
But if you listen to what we just talked about 45 minutes ago, okay, I said exactly that.
00:48:06.239 --> 00:48:14.960
That like it doesn't mean anything, but if we play like we did, it's a just a continuation of last season and we can't have it.
00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:16.480
Lord help us, we can't have it.
00:48:16.639 --> 00:48:17.199
We can't have it.
00:48:17.280 --> 00:48:17.440
Okay.
00:48:17.920 --> 00:48:18.559
We can't have it.
00:48:18.719 --> 00:48:23.440
Now, to everything else that you rambled off in that last portion of your your rant.
00:48:24.960 --> 00:48:27.760
Now, I because I don't disagree.
00:48:27.840 --> 00:48:31.119
And just you I just need to point out that I wasn't even spicy going in.
00:48:31.519 --> 00:48:32.800
No, I just need no well.
00:48:32.880 --> 00:48:37.440
Once we just start talking about that chicken banned, use promo code uh command.
00:48:38.480 --> 00:48:38.880
That's right.
00:48:39.039 --> 00:48:39.519
Do it now.
00:48:39.760 --> 00:48:49.599
Yeah, and I'm telling you what, if you this is ends up being like a promotional podcast just because we're not on the road, but everybody else needs to tell their business owners for a rental.
00:48:49.840 --> 00:48:56.800
If we had that we will promote your product if we had additional sponsors, we'd be plugging them like you wouldn't believe.
00:48:56.960 --> 00:48:58.159
So sponsor us today.
00:48:58.480 --> 00:49:04.400
Yeah, which by the way, if you're looking for a house in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, give your boy Bob a call.
00:49:04.559 --> 00:49:07.119
I I will sell you a house in Chambersburg.
00:49:07.440 --> 00:49:11.119
So that's my shameless plunt from my own self.
00:49:11.199 --> 00:49:13.920
Uh but and check the social medias on that.
00:49:14.320 --> 00:49:15.280
Yeah, absolutely.
00:49:15.440 --> 00:49:23.760
But with that being said, um You were gonna comment on the last portion of what the last portion of what you were ranting about.
00:49:23.920 --> 00:49:25.760
Um I I don't disagree.
00:49:25.920 --> 00:49:27.039
They need to be prepared.
00:49:27.360 --> 00:49:33.119
How on earth did you think that you were gonna sit in front of a bunch of reporters, right?
00:49:33.519 --> 00:49:43.360
And uh after cut day, how are you gonna sit there and not be prepared that your first question was gonna be about the offensive line?
00:49:43.519 --> 00:49:50.239
You've got what everybody around the league has been talking about is an awesome quarterback in Jaden Daniels.
00:49:50.400 --> 00:49:51.679
Everybody knows it.
00:49:52.079 --> 00:49:54.079
Obviously, you signed Tuncil.
00:49:54.480 --> 00:49:56.800
We see that he went down with injury.
00:49:56.960 --> 00:50:00.400
The first question: what you guys gonna do about it?
00:50:00.639 --> 00:50:04.159
Because you just got blown out 41 to 3.
00:50:04.320 --> 00:50:06.800
You didn't start any of your offensive line.
00:50:06.880 --> 00:50:17.840
We're supposed to see something out of your depth, and we didn't see that either because getting beat in the trenches is basically what the theme of that last game was on both sides of the rock.
00:50:18.079 --> 00:50:19.679
I mean, we sucked.
00:50:19.760 --> 00:50:21.760
Uh uh if and I get it.
00:50:22.320 --> 00:50:25.119
Well, anytime you lose 41 to 3, you suck.
00:50:25.199 --> 00:50:26.159
That's all you need to say.
00:50:26.639 --> 00:50:30.000
Doesn't matter if it's your first string, second, third, fourth, it doesn't matter.
00:50:30.320 --> 00:50:33.039
Anytime you lose 41 to 3, you suck.
00:50:33.119 --> 00:50:34.159
Now you suck when?
00:50:34.480 --> 00:50:54.000
I'm telling you, now we go into week one here against the Eagles, and if we see a product on the field that was anywhere near what we saw throughout the preseason, now look, I'm just another yeah, I know I don't think that that's what's gonna happen because you got Jaden Daniels back there.
00:50:54.159 --> 00:51:08.480
Now in in in on both sides of the ball, the coordinators are like we said in the last podcast, very a very simplistic form of of their offense and defense.
00:51:08.880 --> 00:51:12.559
So you're not you're not running your your all your plays.
00:51:12.800 --> 00:51:22.239
Um but my big concern is just that the fundamentals really haven't seem like they've been there too.
00:51:22.400 --> 00:51:24.559
So we'll we'll we go we're about to find out.
00:51:25.039 --> 00:51:25.440
We'll see.
00:51:25.840 --> 00:51:29.440
I do feel good that we have Jaden Daniels.
00:51:29.599 --> 00:51:37.679
I do feel good that uh as far as our our starting offensive lineup, it looks improved.
00:51:37.920 --> 00:51:49.519
As far as as far as our starting defensive lineup, because to bring it back to what you said, like a positive, like our offense as a whole looks real good.
00:51:50.079 --> 00:52:01.760
Outside of the offensive line, which is still a question mark, but even still, I think three out of the five, and uh, here's what I'm just hoping to God, and I know Dan Quinn is stressing about it.
00:52:02.239 --> 00:52:12.719
He's hoping to God that Nick Algradi's calf muscles don't become a little bit tighter, you know, come come uh the season opener.
00:52:13.199 --> 00:52:22.079
But yeah, I mean, I think we need to settle down and just recognize that our roster does look improved.
00:52:22.320 --> 00:52:31.440
I am excited to see what we do on defense in the next couple of weeks here, leading into week zero, because we gotta have another cornerback.
00:52:31.760 --> 00:52:34.320
So we're gonna have another cornerback.
00:52:34.559 --> 00:52:39.039
Um, but I'm still excited for the season.
00:52:39.119 --> 00:52:45.920
I I I think we're gonna be better than we than we were last year, but how much better is still to be determined.
00:52:46.000 --> 00:52:53.360
Uh and we'll we'll get into that as we uh you know make our predictions on the season on next week's episode.
00:52:53.679 --> 00:52:56.800
Yeah, but we still got our fourth quarter here, buddy.
00:52:56.960 --> 00:52:59.599
And this is where we're getting at our hodgepodge section.
00:52:59.679 --> 00:53:02.079
There's no sound effects, there's no rollover, we're just gonna be.
00:53:02.159 --> 00:53:04.159
We just roll right in now.
00:53:04.559 --> 00:53:08.320
Uh hell, hell yes, and hell no.
00:53:08.559 --> 00:53:10.480
We introduced this last week.
00:53:10.639 --> 00:53:12.400
I've just got one for you today.
00:53:12.559 --> 00:53:14.880
Have you thought of any since last week?
00:53:15.199 --> 00:53:16.960
No, you've given no thought process.
00:53:17.440 --> 00:53:17.679
Correct.
00:53:18.000 --> 00:53:18.639
None whatsoever.
00:53:19.119 --> 00:53:20.000
Well, okay, hold on.
00:53:20.400 --> 00:53:21.840
Yep, I got a second one.
00:53:22.000 --> 00:53:23.039
Uh one is enough.
00:53:23.199 --> 00:53:23.679
No, I guess.
00:53:23.840 --> 00:53:24.960
So make your best one.
00:53:25.119 --> 00:53:28.320
No, I've got two because my second one will lead right into another.
00:53:29.199 --> 00:53:30.639
We'll lead into something else.
00:53:30.719 --> 00:53:31.760
So my first one.
00:53:32.320 --> 00:53:34.559
Um I'll play your game.
00:53:35.119 --> 00:53:37.679
Yeah, you're damn right you're gonna play my game.
00:53:38.559 --> 00:53:44.880
Josh Harris, Adam Peters, Dan Quinn, hell yes, hail, hell no.
00:53:44.960 --> 00:53:46.239
Who who you got?
00:53:47.199 --> 00:53:48.000
Say it again.
00:53:48.159 --> 00:53:48.559
Sorry.
00:53:49.039 --> 00:53:55.280
Our three-headed monster of basically football operations or the as it relates to the fan base.
00:53:55.599 --> 00:54:01.440
Dan Quinn, Adam Peters, Josh Harris, hail yes, hail, hail no.
00:54:02.000 --> 00:54:08.559
Uh and for those of you that didn't listen to last week, hail yes, hail, hail no is our version of F.
00:54:08.719 --> 00:54:09.760
Mary Kill.
00:54:11.039 --> 00:54:12.000
And if you don't know what F.
00:54:12.159 --> 00:54:14.239
Mary Kill is, then I can't help you.
00:54:14.480 --> 00:54:20.079
Well, I then I I I think that's a relatively easy answer, right?
00:54:20.320 --> 00:54:21.599
Well, for you it is.
00:54:22.639 --> 00:54:30.480
You would um I have to make sure I use the the the hail vernacular.
00:54:30.719 --> 00:54:45.760
So um I would say hail yes to Big Pause for something that was easy.
00:54:46.400 --> 00:54:47.199
The owner?
00:54:47.760 --> 00:54:48.079
Yeah.
00:54:48.320 --> 00:54:49.840
Hail yes to Josh Harris?
00:54:50.000 --> 00:54:50.239
Yeah.
00:54:50.400 --> 00:55:01.920
Alright, hail and then it would be um it would be hail no to Dan Quinn and then Peter Peters.
00:55:02.800 --> 00:55:04.719
I uh agree.
00:55:04.960 --> 00:55:05.760
I agree.
00:55:06.000 --> 00:55:19.199
Alright, um my next uh hail yes, hail hail no is going to be um 1984.
00:55:20.159 --> 00:55:30.880
Wait, not nineteen eighty-four, night well, eighteen eighty-four, the Taylor Sheridan TV show, the Yellowstone, and then Doughton Ranch.
00:55:31.920 --> 00:55:32.239
Oh.
00:55:35.280 --> 00:55:35.599
Oh.
00:55:36.719 --> 00:55:38.400
You're gonna make me really think about that.
00:55:39.039 --> 00:55:39.840
That's a good one, right?
00:55:40.079 --> 00:55:49.360
And while you're thinking about it, the reason why I'm asking this is because this past week that I saw um the 46s show that we've been over.
00:55:49.920 --> 00:55:51.360
I think that's completely dead now.
00:55:51.679 --> 00:55:52.719
It's dead dead.
00:55:52.800 --> 00:55:55.360
Yeah, I think it's completely gonna see it.
00:55:55.440 --> 00:56:02.079
We're never gonna see it, which is crazy because at one point in time we were so gonna see that show.
00:56:02.400 --> 00:56:20.320
I remember looking for baked beans in the in the grocery store, looking for canned baked beans, and seeing that there was a uh 4.6's Yellowstone like promotional product that was in the baked bean aisle.
00:56:20.480 --> 00:56:25.039
They were making chili, they were making stuff that you could buy, that show.
00:56:25.679 --> 00:56:29.280
But then that was short-lived for like three months.
00:56:29.760 --> 00:56:41.760
So the hail no is 1883, the hail yes is the original Yellowstone, and um then the hail would be uh the Duncan the Dun Ranch.
00:56:41.840 --> 00:56:46.960
So you like the more modern uh Western than than the throwback?
00:56:47.840 --> 00:56:50.960
Because I and I you've seen all three.
00:56:51.119 --> 00:56:52.400
We've I've seen all three.
00:56:52.880 --> 00:56:58.639
Just when you look at how they tell the story and just everything, I just I think that's the way it goes.
00:57:00.000 --> 00:57:01.440
Yeah, now I did see him.
00:57:01.599 --> 00:57:11.840
We were this was supposed to be on last week's Hot Podge, but my favorite, one of my big well, I can't say one of my, it is Sons of Anarchy is my favorite television shows.
00:57:12.000 --> 00:57:13.599
Now yeah, we talked about that all the time.
00:57:13.760 --> 00:57:14.639
Now look, look, look, look.
00:57:14.800 --> 00:57:18.400
I know what people are thinking as I say this, your favorite TV show.
00:57:18.480 --> 00:57:20.480
Like it's so it's a broad statement.
00:57:20.639 --> 00:57:36.239
But what I mean by that is like your your drama, like you know, like the office, Seinfeld, Friends, uh, the sitcoms, though those don't fit into what I'm saying.
00:57:36.320 --> 00:57:38.960
That that's a different category of TV show.
00:57:40.239 --> 00:57:45.440
Um Jeopardy, not on this, you know, competition shows, not on this list.
00:57:45.840 --> 00:57:48.079
Uh reality TV, not on this list.
00:57:48.480 --> 00:57:49.440
One hour dramas.
00:57:49.679 --> 00:57:50.079
Right, right.
00:57:50.239 --> 00:57:57.519
So, like your your long form TV shows that have become so popular here over the last decade or so.
00:57:57.760 --> 00:58:07.840
Um, but Sons of Anarchy, top of the list, and they are doing a a um a reboot.
00:58:08.159 --> 00:58:12.000
And when I first saw the headline, I'm like, hell yeah.
00:58:12.320 --> 00:58:12.719
Agree.
00:58:13.039 --> 00:58:13.519
Right?
00:58:13.840 --> 00:58:35.519
And then once I dug in a little bit deeper and saw the premise of the show, correct me if I'm wrong if it's a different article that you read, but it looks as though the Sons of Anarchy actors, uh, the show is basically the actors are going to like an autograph Comic-Con type of a signing.
00:58:35.760 --> 00:58:43.599
So and they are them, they and they find themselves into a uh uh a real life biker situation.
00:58:43.679 --> 00:58:52.000
So it's a scripted show where the actors themselves are playing uh dramatized versions of themselves.
00:58:52.320 --> 00:58:52.800
Yes.
00:58:53.039 --> 00:58:55.519
So not a fan of that premise.
00:58:55.920 --> 00:58:56.400
Straight up.
00:58:56.639 --> 00:58:59.440
It gives you the team back together, you know.
00:58:59.599 --> 00:59:02.480
It gives it, it gives you a little bit of a lot of things.
00:59:02.639 --> 00:59:05.760
I mean, if I was to watch I mean, we're definitely gonna watch it.
00:59:06.159 --> 00:59:07.519
I don't like the premise.
00:59:07.599 --> 00:59:11.440
I told you when we talked about it over the last week or whatever it was.
00:59:11.679 --> 00:59:12.400
It's just not what we're doing.
00:59:12.880 --> 00:59:32.639
It reminded me a lot of the the uh the 90210 uh spin-off that they did with the actors, but they were again like this, kind of playing exaggerated versions of themselves, but not the characters that they were playing.
00:59:32.800 --> 00:59:32.960
Right.
00:59:33.119 --> 00:59:36.079
So this seems very similar to that.
00:59:36.239 --> 00:59:46.480
You're the actors are playing exaggerated versions of themselves, but not the characters that they were made famous for.
00:59:46.639 --> 00:59:46.880
Right.
00:59:47.039 --> 00:59:51.039
So I will watch, but uh I don't have high hopes.
00:59:51.199 --> 00:59:51.840
I just don't.
00:59:52.079 --> 00:59:52.719
Yeah.
00:59:53.119 --> 00:59:57.440
Have you figured out what's coming out next?
00:59:57.599 --> 00:59:59.039
Like, you're the movie guy.
00:59:59.199 --> 01:00:01.440
Like, what's the last what's the last movie that you saw?
01:00:01.519 --> 01:00:03.280
Have you have you had a little drought here?
01:00:03.519 --> 01:00:08.400
Uh I have, honestly, a little bit, but this past weekend, what did I watch?
01:00:08.639 --> 01:00:10.960
Oh, uh, the Dog Stars came out.
01:00:11.039 --> 01:00:17.360
That uh like apocalyptic movie with um whatever that guy's name is.
01:00:18.000 --> 01:00:21.039
It's not the Brad Pitt that's on um no.
01:00:21.679 --> 01:00:23.679
There is a Brad Pitt dog movie coming out.
01:00:24.159 --> 01:00:26.960
This is the Dog Stars with that guy from Euphoria.
01:00:28.639 --> 01:00:29.280
Jacob L.
01:00:30.079 --> 01:00:32.320
Yeah, Ellerby or whatever his name is.
01:00:32.960 --> 01:00:34.320
It was an okay movie.
01:00:35.199 --> 01:00:36.880
It was good, it wasn't great.
01:00:37.119 --> 01:00:42.960
You know, I wouldn't spend my even though I spend my money on it, I don't in theory spend my money on it.
01:00:43.280 --> 01:00:45.119
So but I wouldn't spend my money on it.
01:00:45.280 --> 01:00:46.320
I'll I'll be honest.
01:00:46.559 --> 01:00:52.159
And look, we're we're we are seeking sponsors before ahead of week one here.
01:00:52.239 --> 01:00:59.840
So like if a movie theater wants to reach out to us, then by all means, we'll shout you out and we'll we'll watch movies exclusively there.
01:01:00.000 --> 01:01:03.840
But for your Regal Pass, you're what, 18 bucks a month?
01:01:04.159 --> 01:01:05.119
Yeah, like 20 bucks.
01:01:05.599 --> 01:01:12.960
I think if you want to watch Netflix in 4K and utilize Netflix out to the wazoo, it's damn near up to about the same thing.
01:01:13.280 --> 01:01:22.239
So for you to I mean at this point, I'm probably spending the same amount of money on my Netflix subscription as I am there, you know, the regular movie pass.
01:01:22.559 --> 01:01:22.639
Yeah.
01:01:22.880 --> 01:01:24.639
No, I mean it makes it makes sense.
01:01:24.800 --> 01:01:26.000
And there was a free plug for that.
01:01:26.239 --> 01:01:29.519
Especially with me motivating you to go see as many as humanly possible.
01:01:29.920 --> 01:01:32.400
Yeah, I'm up to like 43 or 44 right now.
01:01:32.719 --> 01:01:33.920
44 movies on the year?
01:01:34.079 --> 01:01:34.480
Something like that.
01:01:34.639 --> 01:01:35.360
Let me check real quick.
01:01:35.760 --> 01:01:37.119
We're doing you're up to September.
01:01:37.199 --> 01:01:38.400
What's your yearly record?
01:01:38.559 --> 01:01:39.199
62?
01:01:39.519 --> 01:01:39.920
60.
01:01:40.480 --> 01:01:43.760
60, I think, is is the is the record.
01:01:44.000 --> 01:01:48.559
And this would be a hell of a year to beat it because there's not really been a whole heck of it.
01:01:48.719 --> 01:01:49.760
I'm up to 43.
01:01:50.000 --> 01:01:50.639
43.
01:01:51.119 --> 01:01:52.719
Well, look, you're on the app.
01:01:52.800 --> 01:01:53.679
What's our next one?
01:01:54.320 --> 01:01:55.840
Oh, I'm not on the I'm on my list.
01:01:56.239 --> 01:01:57.199
Oh, your notes.
01:01:57.360 --> 01:01:57.599
Yeah.
01:01:57.679 --> 01:01:58.320
Yeah.
01:01:58.960 --> 01:02:01.840
I mean, yeah, I'm looking forward to the next one.
01:02:02.000 --> 01:02:06.400
Uh I mean, I'm more into the stuff that's streaming right now.
01:02:06.480 --> 01:02:12.079
Like Ted Lasso, uh Lanterns is like two episodes in.
01:02:12.159 --> 01:02:14.559
I haven't watched the third episode from just last night.
01:02:14.800 --> 01:02:15.599
I watched it last night.
01:02:15.760 --> 01:02:17.280
Um, but so far, so good.
01:02:17.440 --> 01:02:17.760
Yeah.
01:02:18.000 --> 01:02:20.320
Um I don't get overly critical.
01:02:20.400 --> 01:02:21.679
I'm a big comic book guy.
01:02:21.760 --> 01:02:25.199
Uh and I don't get overly critical.
01:02:25.280 --> 01:02:32.239
There's a lot of uh comic book nerdies out there that's like that's not how it was portrayed in the books.
01:02:32.400 --> 01:02:33.599
And I'm like, I don't give a shit.
01:02:33.679 --> 01:02:34.480
It was entertaining.
01:02:34.559 --> 01:02:34.880
Yeah.
01:02:35.039 --> 01:02:38.960
Um, you know, I don't, I really, really don't get overly critical.
01:02:39.119 --> 01:02:42.800
Like if I sat through it and it was good enough, then I'm like, I'm happy with my time.
01:02:43.119 --> 01:02:49.440
I mean, well, you know, I've only seen the only the first two episodes of Lanterns, but I mean, it's good so far.
01:02:49.760 --> 01:02:52.960
Now, with that being said, I got a Batman tattoo on my right arm.
01:02:53.039 --> 01:03:01.440
So, like, when it comes to the Batman conversation, I get a little bit more critical, but truth be told, there's not been one come out that I didn't like.
01:03:01.599 --> 01:03:03.679
So you know what I mean?
01:03:03.760 --> 01:03:05.920
Like, I'm not the guy to ask about that either.
01:03:06.079 --> 01:03:09.760
Because when I walked out of the Flash movie, I was thinking to myself, that was good.
01:03:09.920 --> 01:03:16.159
Now, I will say, the second time I w I watched it, I was like, it could have been better.
01:03:16.559 --> 01:03:20.159
And then the third time I watched it, I was like, it really wasn't that great.
01:03:20.480 --> 01:03:22.400
I don't think I've watched it since.
01:03:22.960 --> 01:03:27.360
But I do like Michael Keaton as Batman, so yeah, you you you really don't get much.
01:03:28.320 --> 01:03:34.000
I just got kind of engulfed in seeing him back on the screen and and portraying the old Batman.
01:03:34.320 --> 01:03:35.920
So like that was good enough for me.
01:03:36.079 --> 01:03:43.920
But then the second time I'm like being overly critical and just like trying to see what everybody else was saying because I started seeing what all the critics had to say.
01:03:44.079 --> 01:03:44.320
Right.
01:03:44.480 --> 01:03:48.719
And was like, let's see if they had any valid like validity to it all.
01:03:48.880 --> 01:03:52.719
And as I'm watching it, I'm like, you know, I think they were right.
01:03:52.960 --> 01:03:56.320
This did this was kind of off.
01:03:56.719 --> 01:04:03.519
And part of it is just like DC does such a good job hyping up their product to just under-deliver.
01:04:04.079 --> 01:04:05.440
You said it right there.
01:04:05.840 --> 01:04:08.320
Their classic undeliverable.
01:04:08.559 --> 01:04:15.599
Now, these lanterns was, I think they are executing on now.
01:04:15.679 --> 01:04:17.840
They did hype it up for a while, though.
01:04:17.920 --> 01:04:31.599
No, we've been seeing little clips and trailers and stuff for this lantern for a while, but it's good for a show as far as a superhero show goes, because Marvel's put out some pretty shit shows.
01:04:32.079 --> 01:04:32.719
Yeah.
01:04:32.960 --> 01:04:36.159
I mean, this last phase of Marvel hasn't been anything to talk about.
01:04:36.320 --> 01:04:37.360
And that's the other thing.
01:04:37.519 --> 01:04:41.360
Marvel's gotten to the point to where they've just given you too much.
01:04:41.920 --> 01:04:42.239
Right.
01:04:42.320 --> 01:04:45.360
They've they did, they oversaturated.
01:04:45.760 --> 01:04:46.880
Yeah, they did too much.
01:04:47.039 --> 01:04:49.920
They should have just stuck to two two movies, three.
01:04:50.480 --> 01:05:05.199
Because I shouldn't to to watch a movie that's coming out in theaters about any Marvel character, I shouldn't have to watch three dozen Disney Plus series just to know anything going into the damn movie.
01:05:05.519 --> 01:05:06.719
Spider-Man was good.
01:05:07.039 --> 01:05:08.480
Spider-Man was really good.
01:05:08.800 --> 01:05:12.079
And now are we gonna watch the endgame with a re-release endgame?
01:05:12.320 --> 01:05:14.159
No, I've already talked about that at work.
01:05:14.400 --> 01:05:21.920
I refuse to re-watch endgame or anything for an extra like five minutes of footage.
01:05:22.480 --> 01:05:23.440
No, no.
01:05:23.760 --> 01:05:27.119
You know we're gonna you know we're gonna get to see it on Disney Plus.
01:05:27.360 --> 01:05:31.599
I I will I've already re-watched the stuff on Disney Plus.
01:05:31.679 --> 01:05:34.480
I'm not gonna watch it in theaters for five extra minutes.
01:05:34.639 --> 01:05:35.599
And then I'm ready to go.
01:05:37.519 --> 01:05:39.440
I don't need it to be two hours and 50 minutes.
01:05:39.760 --> 01:05:48.559
I'll buy my I'll buy my tickets for you know Avengers in December, I'll buy that like November something, and bada bing, bada boom, done.
01:05:48.800 --> 01:05:50.159
Yeah, yeah.
01:05:50.400 --> 01:05:52.320
It's just it's just a money grab.
01:05:52.400 --> 01:05:53.199
That's all it is.
01:05:53.360 --> 01:05:59.360
To re-release a movie for five minutes of footage that's gonna tie into this movie.
01:05:59.679 --> 01:06:00.960
No, it's not worth it.
01:06:01.119 --> 01:06:02.719
Yeah, it's just not worth it.
01:06:02.960 --> 01:06:05.199
No, I think that they're coming out with a new vision.
01:06:05.519 --> 01:06:06.800
Is it a show?
01:06:07.679 --> 01:06:09.760
I know that they're coming out with something.
01:06:10.239 --> 01:06:12.480
I think it's a show, but I really don't know.
01:06:12.719 --> 01:06:13.360
Yeah.
01:06:13.920 --> 01:06:14.480
Anyway.
01:06:14.719 --> 01:06:16.559
It's like Vision Quest or something, right?
01:06:16.719 --> 01:06:17.920
Is that what it's called?
01:06:18.239 --> 01:06:21.039
Yeah, it's kind of a gay name.
01:06:21.599 --> 01:06:23.119
I mean, whatever.
01:06:24.559 --> 01:06:28.320
All right, let's let's wrap this podcast up for the folks.
01:06:28.400 --> 01:06:37.039
Because once the hodgepodge gets into uh Vision Quest, it's time to really wrap up to bring this thing home.
01:06:37.280 --> 01:06:38.159
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:06:38.400 --> 01:06:46.400
Now, next week, uh, just so you know, Mike, and just so our listeners know, we're we're definitely running through the schedule.
01:06:46.559 --> 01:06:49.519
We gotta put a win-loss to everything.
01:06:49.760 --> 01:06:50.800
Uh that's fine.
01:06:51.119 --> 01:06:52.239
Just to be on record.
01:06:52.400 --> 01:06:55.760
Now, last year we were on record and our our records were.
01:06:56.239 --> 01:06:57.760
Here you go, bringing that up again.
01:06:58.239 --> 01:07:01.920
And come week four, I was like, I'm sick and tired of what we guess blast.
01:07:03.440 --> 01:07:07.679
So it might happen again, but we have got to do it because what if we're right?
01:07:07.840 --> 01:07:08.960
We gotta put it on record.
01:07:09.039 --> 01:07:09.679
What if we're right?
01:07:09.760 --> 01:07:10.400
What if we're right?
01:07:10.719 --> 01:07:11.599
We can be.
01:07:11.840 --> 01:07:22.400
And then I also want to touch on obviously leading into our first game, you know, some classic Washington, Philadelphia Eagles memories.
01:07:22.639 --> 01:07:27.119
And dude, how come they've never taken any of our trash quarterbacks?
01:07:27.280 --> 01:07:29.599
We've only taken theirs, huh?
01:07:31.760 --> 01:07:33.440
There's an answer for that.
01:07:33.679 --> 01:07:35.440
That'll be in our second quarter.
01:07:35.599 --> 01:07:37.840
Anyway, thank you guys so much for listening.
01:07:37.920 --> 01:07:43.920
Of course, this is a Command and Commute podcast where we press record when we leave the driveway and we upload when we get to the stadium.
01:07:44.000 --> 01:07:47.360
And this would be the portion where we roll it into the stadium.
01:07:47.519 --> 01:07:50.639
But we're gonna leave that till week three.
01:07:50.800 --> 01:07:52.079
But thank you guys so much.
01:07:52.159 --> 01:07:56.719
