WEEK 5: WASHINGTON’S GIANT GAME

WEBVTT
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:14.560
This is the Command of the Commute Podcast.
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:17.920
Talking about the game, going to the game.
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:21.359
Good morning, Bob.
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:23.039
Good morning, Michael.
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:34.560
We are back for another episode of the Command of Commute Podcast, and we're just gonna go ahead and uh apologize to our listeners already on behalf of Mother Nature.
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:36.000
It's another rainy day.
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:49.039
It's another rainy day, and I take full responsibility for it, Mike, because in the last episode I told you if I went ahead and bought the squeegee for the glass, then it wouldn't rain anymore.
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:53.840
And I neglected to get the squeegee's between now and last week.
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:55.520
So this is all my fault.
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:57.759
I'll take well, I'll take full responsibility.
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:03.439
Full disclosure, I did look at the gas station in their small automotive section to see if they had negative.
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:04.319
Okay.
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:07.280
Well, it was at least worth the worth the look, I forget.
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:20.480
But you know, to uh our guest's point, who we'll we'll introduce here in a second, today's game ain't gonna matter when it comes to that tweaking, because we'd be tweaking every minute.
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:33.120
We would need basically a windshield wiper to go ahead and keep that glass uh dry uh in today's game because it looks like it's gonna stay this way pretty much the entire game, if not the entire game.
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:35.200
The whole game, the whole game.
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:42.879
So uh we we picked up our our our tailgators at uh a little bit after 6 30.
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:44.719
It is 7 18 right now.
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:49.840
We've got a tentative ETA to the stadium at 8 40.
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:55.920
We always try to beat it, but with today's weather, I doubt we beat that yay.
00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:59.519
But we've got an hour and 21-minute commute to the stadium.
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:04.159
We're gonna give you guys a solid hour uh on the drive here.
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:16.000
But before we get too far into it, I'm just gonna preface with he's a giants fan, but uh we've got a guest on the podcast today, obviously, part of our tailgators.
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:18.639
Uh, we've got Peter on the podcast.
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:21.360
Hey everybody, welcome Peter to the pod.
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:23.759
How are we feeling today this morning?
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:25.280
Uh feeling good, feeling wet.
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:28.879
I'm gonna marinate at the stadium for a few hours and enjoy the game.
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:29.520
Good.
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:34.240
So obviously, you're you're sitting right smack dab in the middle, Peter.
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:38.560
So as we are as we're talking today, you're gonna be the peanut gallery.
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:41.759
You get to chime in with anything that you want from a giant's perspective.
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:42.800
You have full permission.
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:44.000
Alright, sounds good.
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:44.960
Alright.
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:52.400
So, just for a quick agenda for the podcast for everybody in our first quarter, we gotta recap London.
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:58.240
I'm sorry, but we've got things to say about the London game against the damn Colts.
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:04.639
I'll just preface with my driveway take up we're gonna crush them was wrong.
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:05.439
Yep.
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:23.039
Quarter two, we're gonna get into this week's can't lose locks, our picks, uh, a little bit of NFL, uh talking news, and then quarter three, we're gonna get into our commute breakdown about how we think we're gonna fare against the New York Giants today.
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:31.599
And then quarter four, you know it, it's our hodgepodge quarter where we pretty much just get into whatever the hell we want to.
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:38.560
So, with that being said, let's give me a hell yeah, Mike, and get let's let's get right into uh quarter one.
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:53.039
So, Bob, let's talk about last week's game.
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:58.560
We're into last week's game.
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.319
We started off high, and I was feeling like our community breakdown from last week.
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:23.199
I feel like I was Stevens was gonna have a big day, and of course we come right out of the game with two field goals and like uh those first six points would seem to really last for the majority of the first half.
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:23.920
Yep.
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:28.800
Um I mean, they dwindled away really, really fast.
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:34.560
I mean, well, pretty much as soon as as soon as Mariota went down, like that that was it.
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:34.959
Yes.
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.759
I mean uh seemed like a home game for us.
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:47.360
I mean, it seemed like the whole Tottenham uh stadium was uh you know decorated more or less as our home field.
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:50.959
I mean zone yeah they they decorated it as well.
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:54.879
I texted you that that end zone in London better than ours.
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:56.240
It's better than ours right now.
00:04:56.399 --> 00:05:03.759
It's got an all burgundy end zone, and then the I think the letters of the commanders are gold, but it's all summer.
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:06.000
And then it's got the giant W in the corner.
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:08.000
It it looked it looked really nice.
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:30.160
I I like it where versus our home field uh our home field end zones are just the green grass with the burgundy letters with the gold outline, but it just it's something still feels missing with our end zones, whereas that London end zone really popped.
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:31.360
Yeah, it it did.
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:33.680
But not that we got to see it all that much.
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:34.240
Damn.
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:37.040
No, but I mean it was it was a rough game.
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:44.079
I mean, obviously, when we're you know going to our third string spring manis uh you know quarterback.
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:47.279
Uh I'll tell you, your boy is a gunslinger.
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:57.759
Yeah, I mean he he definitely took a few shots that uh you know were nice to see, and if some of them would have paid off a little more, could have kept us in the game.
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:00.160
But no, it was just it was just rough.
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:03.839
Now one pass to Antonio Williams man got called back.
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:05.360
It's a stupid refs.
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:14.000
Yeah, not even saying that it was it was uh there were some missed pass interference calls and stuff that should have been called in our favor that weren't.
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:17.360
I think we had 10 penalties to the Colts Zero.
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:19.360
Don't start bitching about the refs.
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:21.360
Now you sound like a Ravens fan.
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:24.399
Well, I I'm not I'm not putting it all on the on the reps.
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:28.720
We would have lost that game without their help, but their help certainly didn't help.
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:30.879
Yeah, it certainly didn't make things that much.
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:34.800
But there's some Tiki Tac shit that I just can't stand.
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:45.279
Now I did text my dad afterwards too and say, I just I can't stand sloppy football, and I can't stand it when the refs come into play.
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:49.120
And there was just so many times where it just didn't feel warranted.
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:50.720
But it wasn't all for it.
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:53.839
If if we get our if we deserve a penalty, give it to us.
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:56.800
But it wasn't just our game that the refs were a factor.
00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:00.160
That was a conversation the you know the entire week.
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:05.519
I think was it the Arizona game that uh there was some some stuff going on there.
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:17.360
So I mean it was-that was some report that there was a line judge that got suspended in the last week because of some gambling stuff, which you would think is like referee 101, not allowed to do that.
00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:26.079
So, yeah, I mean it was a it was a topic of conversation the entire week, but uh you brought it up and it's in our notes, really.
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:31.360
The question of did we lose or you know, did we beat ourselves type of thing?
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:38.079
And I think we just beat ourselves because we could have won that game, I think, if Mariota wouldn't have gone down.
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:39.920
I think it was definitely a winnable game.
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:42.800
We would have at least kept it close.
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:45.120
Like the first half was close.
00:07:45.519 --> 00:08:02.800
Um but back to back to last week's recap, part of my my road hazard of last week's game was Jonathan Taylor and what he would do to us on the ground, and he ended up carving us up pretty damn good.
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:18.720
So my road hazard take last week, although not very uh, you know, it it's you're not going really, you're not giving a hot take when you say Jonathan Taylor's gonna beat you, but that I mean that's and that is what happened.
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:24.319
And so and for both teams, you know, I mentioned last week about travel being a factor.
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:27.120
It was not a factor, it it did not matter.
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:28.319
It didn't, it didn't.
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:36.559
I wish it would have mattered because if it didn't matter, we would have had the extra advantage there because of the extra time that we gave ourselves while we were there.
00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:39.759
But right, but damn, it didn't matter, Michael.
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:46.559
Those guys came in and they looked, I mean, they got off to a slow start, but I don't think that that was necessarily because of the travel.
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:49.600
The rest of their play looked like it was adequate enough.
00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:54.240
So but and Daniel Jones, he didn't look good.
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:55.519
He did not look good.
00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:57.360
I mean, you don't sugarcoat it.
00:08:57.519 --> 00:08:59.360
He did not look good.
00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:07.039
Uh, in my opinion, uh, you know, I know we got a Giants fan over here, but it was the Daniel Jones the bold, okay?
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:08.320
So still is.
00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:12.240
What are you what are your thoughts on uh on Daniel Jones?
00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:16.000
Were you uh sad to see him go or was it time to go?
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:21.840
Uh it was time for him to go from a Giants perspective, but I wasn't sad to see him go for his.
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:24.480
It was kind of like the Sam Darnold situation.
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:29.039
He just needed to be in the right, in the right scheme, yeah, uh with the right, with the right coach.
00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:32.960
And he's he's got some he's got some talents and he's got a real good football mind.
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:41.600
He sees things, he sees things well, and uh, you know, I I think overall he's he's gonna be one of the better quarterbacks they've had since Locke left.
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:45.759
Yeah, I actually that's a good take with uh the whole Sam Darnold thing.
00:09:45.919 --> 00:10:14.399
I I believe in the preseason I said something along those same lines because I wouldn't be surprised if Daniel Jones ends up seeing a Sam Darnold resurgence because sometimes all it takes, you see it all the time with kickers, quarterbacks not that dissimilar in the sense that you know, sometimes you need the right coach, the right quarterback coach, the right teammate, um, or just the right environment to kind of thrive.
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:26.639
But you also see it happen too to where you know it takes Trevor Lawrence sometimes a couple years for the team to build around them, just in the sense that, yeah, sure, you're the best quarterback in the draft.
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:31.200
You go to the worst team in the league, and so it does take some time.
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:47.600
You like it when a team can appropriately build around a player, um, as opposed to what seems like it happens so often, is like a good quarterback ends up going uh to a shitty team, and then that's it.
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:53.360
That's exactly they ruin them in the first four or five years, and you never hear anything else left from them.
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.320
Top of the draft is a great thing for the team.
00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:58.240
They're getting the best the better quarterbacks.
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:02.960
It's not such a great thing if you're the quarterback because, as you said, you're going to a bad team.
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:04.879
Yeah, the agents love it.
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:08.000
But yeah.
00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:11.600
But no, I didn't think I didn't think Daniel Jones played well.
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:14.000
Of course, our defense had a lot to do with it.
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:19.360
Adapte always had another good game pressuring the quarterback.
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:28.720
Um, but uh outside of that, I really can't recall too many uh stellar defenders for us.
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:40.320
We did like we had an unfortunate injury last week, and the resurgence of last year's Tommy Award for Injury of the Year, the foot facing wrong direction.
00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:42.639
Yeah, that was that was that was brutal.
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:45.759
I mean, yeah, that's all you can say.
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:46.480
It was brutal.
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:57.519
He didn't even know, he didn't even know uh what had happened uh at first, and then he looked and it's like then the player came over, and yeah, just dude.
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:00.080
We've got three plays are everywhere, man.
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:06.639
We've got three safeties not playing today, which makes me nervous.
00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:14.639
And we'll get into this in our commute breakdown, but Malik Neighbors without any of our starting safeties, we might be in trouble.
00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:18.799
Well, you got a safety playing today in Mother Nature that's gonna help you.
00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:20.639
That's true, that's true.
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:27.519
I didn't think about that, but uh, we might not see a whole lot of balls go 20 yards downfield today.
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:30.080
No, I think this is gonna be a run heavy game.
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:40.559
So well, speaking of run heavy, we released Catron Allen this week, which we're kind of bouncing around here a little bit, but we released Catron Allen, which I was surprised by.
00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:42.480
Yeah, he was a sixth-round pick.
00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:43.440
Not all six-round pick.
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:49.519
But of all the people to release, I too was a little bit surprised that he's the one that drew the short straw.
00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:53.600
I mean, they must really, they must really like Austin Eckler.
00:12:54.240 --> 00:13:02.559
Because Well, I mean, someone had to go if they were gonna sign him, which they did, hence the conversation, but someone was gonna have to go.
00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:04.799
I was just surprised it was him.
00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:05.679
That's all.
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:06.559
Yeah.
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:13.519
Uh I mean, I I wasn't I wasn't I wasn't expecting that.
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:28.240
Just because just because we signed Austin Attler, I mean I was I was half anticipating somebody else on the defensive side of the ball getting getting sat down or released.
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:32.720
Um but that's neither here nor there.
00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:37.279
What else do you got for the uh for the first for the first quarter, Mike?
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:39.519
Uh that pretty much wraps it up.
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:45.440
I was just going to uh sort of roll right into our can't lose locks here if you're ready to move on.
00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:47.519
I'm ready for our can't lose locks.
00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:48.639
Let's do it.
00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:58.559
Can't lose locks.
00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:08.879
Alright, so can't lose locks.
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:18.639
Last week we all went two and two, so if you bet with us, you know, we're sorry that you didn't win, but we're not sorry that you didn't lose.
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:20.000
So you're welcome.
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:23.840
I mean, not not losing is almost as good as the win.
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:27.440
Uh before we get into our fix, I just need to preface.
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:30.399
This is the Command of Camille podcast.
00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:32.879
We're recording on the way to the game.
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:41.360
So the windshield wipers, the rain, the blinkers, the the uh the uh uh the AC.
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:46.080
Um, I'm sure you guys can all hear it, and we appreciate you for sticking with us.
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:46.879
It's loud.
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:48.799
So it's I mean it's loud in here.
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:51.440
I can only imagine what it sounds like on the on the pod.
00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:54.480
But uh thank you guys for sticking with us.
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:55.919
This is what it's all about.
00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:57.919
Football weather, baby.
00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:05.360
Um but Mike, run us through our our can't lose locks for those of you that are uh just joining us for the first time.
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:18.000
We pick a favorite, we pick an underdog, we pick an over, and we pick an under between myself, obviously Mike, and our ghost podcaster, my boy T O M Tombo.
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:27.120
Um this week it was Tom picking first, Mike picking second, and I literally just made my picks on our last break.
00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:30.080
So um lead us away here, Michael.
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:30.879
Tell us what we got.
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:34.240
Alright, so we're I'm just gonna do these straight in order.
00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:36.559
We're gonna start with uh Tom.
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:42.320
Uh and for the listeners, his overall record right now is nine and seven.
00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:44.399
So good on him, I guess.
00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:50.159
Uh he took the Eagles uh plus seven and a half.
00:15:50.480 --> 00:16:00.080
Uh in London against the Jags, which I kind of like that number, but wouldn't be shocked if the Jags um that's right, they have an international game this week.
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:03.120
Yeah, taking place here at about an hour and 15.
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:06.799
Which I should have brought my shitty television to plug in.
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:07.679
We could have watched it.
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:08.480
Oh well.
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:10.000
Uh alright.
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:17.360
His next one, he took uh uh Patriots, favored by three and a half.
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:17.679
Okay.
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:23.519
Uh his over is the Billy Jacksonville game at 41 and a half.
00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:24.720
He's all over that game.
00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:27.519
Just wants to get his picks winning early.
00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:34.080
And for the under, he took the Pittsburgh Indy game at 44.
00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:41.600
And oh, then the line changed because we gotta we gotta make an adjustment because you can't you can't take the under.
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:45.200
We're gonna, yeah.
00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:48.480
Well, when he put it in, the line was at 44 and a half.
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:53.360
When you attempted it, when I put it in for you just now, the line is actually 43 and a half.
00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:54.559
So damn it, and you know what?
00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:58.240
You knew that line was gonna move downward.
00:16:58.480 --> 00:16:59.759
That's what you took in.
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:03.279
Um we'll have to make an adjustment there.
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:10.720
Uh okay, so then my picks, of course, my record is a stunning five and eleven, but we'll move on from that.
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:12.960
You got work to do.
00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:22.319
And uh for my underdog, I took uh Packers at one and a half.
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:26.720
Uh my favorite, I took the Bengals at minus seven.
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:38.480
My over is the Denver Chargers game at 41 and a half, and my under is the Detroit Arizona game at 54 and a half.
00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:40.720
So that's what I went with.
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:41.440
Gotcha.
00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:49.039
And then Bob for your picks, which again, as you said, we literally just uh made here.
00:17:49.519 --> 00:18:08.480
Uh you took the Saints as your dog at one and a half, your favorite, you took Denver at three and a half, the over, you took uh the Houston, Tennessee game at 37.5, and we have to make an adjustment to your under because you can't take Pittsburgh in.
00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:12.240
We'll we'll add draft things back up real quick while we're on here.
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:18.960
I'm pretty sure what was the Packard Bear um over-under setup?
00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:20.960
Uh nobody has that, right?
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:22.559
I don't believe so.
00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:26.400
The over-under on that game is 47 and a half.
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:27.519
Give me the under.
00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:28.559
Alright.
00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:30.240
I'll take the under on that one.
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:31.519
I don't know why.
00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:32.640
Uh okay.
00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:34.799
Oh, no, no, Michael.
00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:36.079
I'm sorry.
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:38.720
God, I can't believe I'm about to do it.
00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:39.200
What?
00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:41.680
Give me the under on the damn Browns game.
00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:43.200
It's Browns Jets, right?
00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:44.000
Yeah, the understanding.
00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:44.480
Alright, I know.
00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:45.759
I said I wasn't gonna do it.
00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:48.799
39 and a half is the over-under on that game.
00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:50.880
Son of a f give it to me.
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:52.160
All right, give it to me.
00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:53.839
I I said I wasn't gonna do this.
00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:58.160
Last week, you guys all know I said I wasn't gonna pick against the brown or with the brown.
00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:05.039
I was just gonna stay away against the brown, but well give me that under okay.
00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:06.799
It's it's documented on the pod.
00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:10.000
I'll make the adjustment whenever they're gonna whenever I can.
00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:12.799
You know they're gonna put up like 39 points.
00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:23.200
Yeah, um it it's more likely than not, but if that's what you want for your under, that's well.
00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:25.119
I want just to me.
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:26.319
I'm not overthinking it.
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:38.799
Alright, so that's the official can't lose locks, and now we're gonna go straight into the pick'em, which I don't even know what my record is.
00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:41.200
I'm not gonna tally that up.
00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:45.039
I'll work on that for next week, but it's not going well for me this year.
00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:53.039
Yeah, last last year, it seemed like every week you were just chopping at the bit to tell me what your record was.
00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:54.559
I'm 11 and 6.
00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:56.720
I'm a I'm 12 and 5.
00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:03.519
Um, so I only so I only did my pick'ems in one of my two leagues, so I'll just have to copy my pick over.
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:05.119
I'll do that once we're at the game.
00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:13.759
Um so I went I went with the Cowboys on Thursday night and lost that game.
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:16.079
Um so I'm gonna have to.
00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:17.119
How is that?
00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:20.720
I mean, I'm I mean I'm I'm glad they lost because it helps us out.
00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:24.720
Uh, you know, but I thoroughly enjoyed that game.
00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:30.400
Very rarely do I do I enjoy watching the Cowboys even play.
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:34.400
Like, I if it's a Thursday night game, it's an iffy one for me if the Cowboys are playing.
00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:35.279
I might not watch.
00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:39.680
It'll be a nice Thursday off for me, but I decided to watch that entire game.
00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:42.319
And man, it was just so much fun watching them lose.
00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:43.440
Peter, what do you think?
00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:44.079
You agree?
00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:50.000
Oh, I was watching that game and I'm thinking 1456 left in the fourth, they're down two.
00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:52.000
I've seen this script before.
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:53.920
I said this game's not over.
00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:54.160
Right.
00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:59.599
And then sure enough, it comes down to a pick on the final potential game-tying drive.
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:05.119
So that's because they lost, which was great, but it was a typical Dallas game.
00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:12.880
It's because Dak is, you know, he's Dak and it's the Cowboys, and they borderline suck more than they're actually good.
00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:17.839
Well, I mean, I'll I will by all means let you talk shit on Dak Prescott.
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:19.200
Like, I'll let you.
00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:26.799
But Dak Prescott just took over as the leading quarterback in franchise history.
00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:29.599
Whoop de doo statistical category.
00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:31.440
Yeah, whoop de-doo, okay.
00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:33.119
Does he have any rings?
00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:33.519
No.
00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:42.000
So he can have all their records that he wants, but I don't see the boy with a with a ring, let alone a substantial playoff win.
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:43.759
So who gives a shit?
00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:44.799
Let's move on.
00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:45.359
Okay.
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:46.480
Alright.
00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:51.200
So, okay.
00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:58.240
Um Sunday, the 9 30 game is of course the Eagles at the Jaguars, but that's the international game.
00:21:58.319 --> 00:21:58.640
I think.
00:21:58.720 --> 00:21:59.519
Are they in London again?
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:00.720
Doesn't matter.
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:06.000
But I took the Jag wires because the Eagles are banged up.
00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:12.960
So Yeah, I I I mean with the points, with the points, I was I was leaning Philly.
00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:15.119
Without the points, I'm leaning Jags.
00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:19.039
This is of course the one o'clock window.
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:21.599
We've got the Bangles at the Dolphins.
00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:22.960
I went with the Bangles.
00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:25.680
I do have Bangles as well.
00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:29.599
Next is Joe Burrow to have a good link, a good fleet.
00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:30.480
Yeah, we do.
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:33.519
Because he's on our fantasy team, and I need it.
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:34.960
Because I need another win.
00:22:35.119 --> 00:22:37.440
Hey, let's pause real quick, Mike.
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:38.240
Okay.
00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:40.880
I'm putting this out there.
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:47.599
For next season, listen, to the people listening here, hit the comment button right now.
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:53.599
Let me know if you would participate in a public command the commute fantasy league.
00:22:53.759 --> 00:23:00.160
Um be like a 12 to 14 man league if we have enough people that are interested in participating.
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:03.920
But I would just open it up to a as a public league.
00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:09.279
Um and just let people uh join our our command the commute league.
00:23:09.359 --> 00:23:16.160
If if uh somebody felt like that was fun to do and track, we could have our own our own team for the uh pod.
00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:17.279
Fantastic.
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:18.079
Next game.
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:18.480
Yep.
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:20.400
Raiders at the Patriots.
00:23:20.559 --> 00:23:22.160
I went with the Raiders.
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:26.400
Uh Vikings at the Saints, I went with the Vikings.
00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:29.359
Uh the Browns jet game.
00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:35.279
Uh this is gonna, I'm probably gonna pay for this, but I went with the Browns.
00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:41.920
It's like the what's the lesser of the two evils?
00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:42.400
I don't know.
00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:44.079
This is a new Michael, folks.
00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:45.359
You guys don't even understand.
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:50.880
Um I mean, but they're playing the Jets, so it's like it's like circling the drain of the NFL.
00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:54.960
Uh next, uh, we're still in the one o'clock window.
00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:57.279
We've got the Colts at the Steelers.
00:23:57.519 --> 00:24:06.000
I went with the Steelers because I have no faith in Daniel Jones and the way that he played to start our game last week.
00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:08.480
So I'm gonna take the Colts.
00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:12.480
Okay, I think one of us is gonna regret it, and it's probably gonna be you.
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:15.759
Next is uh the Texans at the Titans.
00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:21.519
Both are 0-4, and I went Texans played the Cowboys tough last week.
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:26.799
And I'm I I was on the fence on this game, but I'm going with the Texans.
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:28.559
I'm going with the Texans too, man.
00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:31.920
They are just begging, begging for a win.
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:37.440
And the Titans are are are searching for one, but I I got the Texans.
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:44.000
All right, and then uh obviously I'm gonna skip our game because we're gonna talk about that here in a few minutes.
00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:49.359
Um, and then we've got the Bears at the Packers, and I went with the Packers.
00:24:50.319 --> 00:24:51.599
I I agree.
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:55.680
Uh Broncos at the Chargers.
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:58.799
Uh Caleb Williams is still out for Bears, correct?
00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:00.079
I believe so, yes.
00:25:01.119 --> 00:25:02.960
I think he's out at least this week.
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:06.319
I think they're eyeing him to come back next week.
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:11.200
Uh, and I really honestly only know that because he's my backup quarterback on my fantasy.
00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:15.759
Are they are they gonna go with um are they gonna go with Tyson?
00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:18.720
Yes, he is the starter.
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:19.279
He is the starter.
00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:21.519
Yeah, just uh no question.
00:25:24.799 --> 00:25:31.039
Which and I would that's why I'm surprised they didn't go with him, but it is what it is, and moving on to the next game.
00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:34.720
Lions at the Cardinals, and I went with the Lions.
00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:38.880
Uh Niners at the Seahawks.
00:25:39.279 --> 00:25:40.880
I went with the Niners.
00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:44.000
Um, but they're both really good teams.
00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:47.119
Uh Niners are four and oh, Seahawks are three and two.
00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:50.319
That's a tough one there.
00:25:50.640 --> 00:25:52.240
Yeah, it it was tough.
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:53.920
That's a tough one.
00:25:54.319 --> 00:26:00.559
Are you able to uh click over the draft games real quick and just see what the Vegas things are?
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:04.400
Well, we're not I'm not gonna switch out because honestly, I just don't want to.
00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:08.240
So you're gonna get the line according to CVS scores.
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:09.279
Okay.
00:26:09.839 --> 00:26:20.640
And um the spread is three, three points, with Seahawks being the favorite, and the over-under again for this game is set at 46 level.
00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:22.480
Alright.
00:26:23.119 --> 00:26:26.480
Um, I mean that's a close game.
00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:29.519
Peters says Niners.
00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:31.759
Mike, you say Seahawks?
00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:33.200
No, I went with the Niners.
00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:34.880
Alright, well I'll go Seahawks then.
00:26:35.839 --> 00:26:36.400
Screw it.
00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:39.759
And then we're into Sunday night football.
00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:42.880
It's the Ravens at the Falcons that I went with.
00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:46.240
Yeah, but I still went with the Ravens.
00:26:46.640 --> 00:26:55.599
Today, you know how they have uh Tight Ends Day that George Kittle invented that a couple years back with National Tight Ends Day.
00:26:55.680 --> 00:27:05.839
Well, today's National Running Backs Day, and they're gonna definitely talk about that on Sunday night football with uh Bajan Robinson and Derrick Henry.
00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:06.559
Yep.
00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:10.559
And then the last game, of course, is Monday night football.
00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:16.240
We've got the Bills at the Rams, and I went with the Bills.
00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:18.319
At the Rams?
00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:19.839
Yeah, at the Rams.
00:27:20.319 --> 00:27:28.880
Um full disclosure, I I did waver on this game as well, much like the Niners and the Seahawks.
00:27:28.960 --> 00:27:32.240
It was could be a toss-up either way, but I did go with the Bills.
00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:43.200
Well, honestly, until the Rams end up being the team on paper that everybody thought they were going to be in the preseason, it I don't I I can't I can't pick them against the Bills.
00:27:43.599 --> 00:27:48.559
And for the record, the Rams are two and two and the Bills are three and one.
00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:59.599
And the Rams, as you just said, and I agree, they really are all of two and two because they're just not the team uh that they are on paper.
00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:07.440
So I didn't I haven't heard anything about Aaron Donald lighting the lighting anything up, and of course Miles Garrett is still out uh out.
00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:09.519
Yeah, he's out again this week, yeah.
00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:18.400
Well, I think, I mean, I know he was put on the IR, so they had thought that it was gonna be four weeks from week one, so I don't yeah, I don't know.
00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:21.839
I don't know how long he's projected to stay out.
00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:27.279
Uh but that's neither here nor there.
00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:41.680
Hey, so uh before we close out uh quarter two here, speaking of fantasy, Mike, last week, so I'm two and two in fantasy started oh and two now on a two-game winning streak.
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:47.519
Of course, that winning streak started against our ghost podcaster Tom the week prior.
00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:50.559
But last week, Mike, I went back to back.
00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:53.119
I scored the most points in the league.
00:28:53.279 --> 00:28:56.799
Last week I put up 198 points.
00:28:57.039 --> 00:29:01.039
Hey, I scored the most points too in my league.
00:29:01.119 --> 00:29:04.640
Uh, and my record is hold on, I don't even know what to do.
00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:07.359
Nico Collins certainly helped me out.
00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:22.400
I already had the win locked up going into Monday night, but Bajon Robinson and Alvin Kamara added four touchdowns Monday night, so I didn't beat it, but it was sure as hell fun to watch.
00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:24.640
Uh, what do you say your fantasy record is?
00:29:24.799 --> 00:29:25.599
I'm two and two.
00:29:25.920 --> 00:29:26.400
So am I.
00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:27.839
All right, there we go.
00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:28.960
There we go.
00:29:29.039 --> 00:29:33.039
Is our only um similar player burrow?
00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:34.319
Yes, I believe so.
00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:39.839
I'd have to look at your lineup again, but I'm pretty sure that's the only player we have in in common.
00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:44.319
So all right, so that's the end of that.
00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:49.039
That leads us right into our commute breakdown.
00:29:56.720 --> 00:29:59.599
So you're telling me there's a chance if nothing else.
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:04.960
They should be fun to watch with heck.
00:30:05.039 --> 00:30:05.519
Here's the deal.
00:30:05.599 --> 00:30:07.440
I'm the best there is, plain and simple.
00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:11.599
I mean, I wake up in the morning, I think it's excellence, and nobody can hang with myself.
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:15.359
Uh, you know, I'm just a big hairy American winning machine.
00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:16.960
If you ain't first, you're last.
00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:21.599
You know, don't talk about that phrase trademark, not to use Ricky Bob in.
00:30:24.079 --> 00:30:34.319
So we were just talking uh in the last segment, uh last quarter about fantasy a little bit, and then we took a little break, and then Peter started talking about his uh his fantasy league.
00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:44.160
And uh Peter, it sounds like you uh you and your group of of friends um You pretty much got in on the early days.
00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:50.799
Were you guys uh tabulating your points on uh with the newspaper for the box scores at first?
00:30:50.960 --> 00:30:51.680
Oh absolutely, yeah.
00:30:51.759 --> 00:31:07.440
We had to, you know, we basically on a Monday morning you had to get the newspaper out and you know, run through the agates, and then the commissioner would uh calculate the scores, and we literally back then would send out a hard copy newsletter to everybody in the league.
00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:10.079
We didn't, you know, no nobody even had cell phones back then.
00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:13.599
Our league started in 1982, I joined in 1983.
00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:16.559
Well, the first league we know of.
00:31:16.640 --> 00:31:21.119
In fact, the guys, the guys that did it, they kind of came up with the scoring on their own.
00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:32.240
It was a bunch of guys, uh, all of whom had worked at two Syracuse newspapers at the time, and one night sitting around in their boat bed, they said, you know, we do this for fishery baseball, why don't we do something for football?
00:31:32.400 --> 00:31:35.440
And they kind of just came up with the rules and did it.
00:31:35.759 --> 00:31:41.200
So whether somebody was starting fantasy football elsewhere in the country at the time, I I don't know.
00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:45.279
We don't know, but uh we didn't know of any leagues older than ours at the time.
00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:48.720
And and like I said, they they just came up with the scoring, and it's basic.
00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:50.480
It's a basic scoring league.
00:31:50.559 --> 00:31:51.839
We haven't changed too much over the years.
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:54.240
Has the commissioner stayed the same?
00:31:54.480 --> 00:32:06.720
Uh no, we're on our second commissioner, who's actually a guy that I brought in to be my co-owner in like my third year, then he took on his own team and eventually became the commissioner.
00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:12.319
So how like it's obviously evolved since 1982.
00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:16.640
Do you guys absolutely are you have you adopted to uh Yahoo?
00:32:16.799 --> 00:32:19.279
Uh no, we uh we use uh CPS Sports Line.
00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:19.680
Okay.
00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:21.920
Yeah, and have used we've used that for years.
00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:30.079
Yeah, and once you're used to once you're used to something, it's hard to it's hard to switch because it holds the history and everything, you know.
00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:33.359
It's got it's got all the windows from the past years and all your stats and all that.
00:32:33.839 --> 00:32:43.680
Yeah, I've I've always done Yahoo, but there's been a couple times where I've I've done a CBS and I've done an ESPN fantasy, and it's weird.
00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:50.079
It's just weird transferring to another to another app, another uh website.
00:32:50.319 --> 00:32:51.680
Yeah, we've never even thought about it.
00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:57.279
We we like we like the draft board that they send you to use because we have a live draft every year.
00:32:57.359 --> 00:33:09.359
I every year, uh even way after I I this week started up the Syracuse area, and uh ever since I left that area, I've still been going back up there from New Jersey and from Maryland every year.
00:33:09.519 --> 00:33:17.279
Um the the live draft is kind of the highlight of the year for a bunch of guys who frankly would have lost touch were it not for the league.
00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:23.920
But uh you know, it's it's it's great to see all those knuckleheads once a year in a live draft in someone's backyard or wherever.
00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:25.839
Yeah, I I I agree.
00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:37.440
Our our uh fantasy league, we do a live draft as well, and it's it's part of the rules to where we'll give you a pass if you can't make it for one year.
00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:44.000
Um you you can phone it in uh or send somebody in your place to draft for you.
00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:45.519
We've done that as well.
00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:53.359
But for the most part, if you have to miss two back-to-back years, then you've got to find a replacement you're out.
00:33:53.839 --> 00:33:55.039
Because it's that important.
00:33:55.200 --> 00:34:12.159
Now, in years past too, it's also been like you go to the live draft, you see your buddies, and you say, you know, man, we'd love I'd love to see you more than just once a year, but as the years go on, you're just kind of content and happy that you do get to see them that once a year.
00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:18.239
When you're younger, you you feel like there's more time, like we should be able to swing this more than just once.
00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:30.400
But as you get a little older, it's like, hey, once a year is better than nothing at all because that's kind of how it would trend when people start to get older with wives and kids and jobs and everything else.
00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:33.119
We started with everybody in the Syracuse area.
00:34:33.280 --> 00:34:34.480
You know, some guys moved away.
00:34:34.559 --> 00:34:36.719
As I said, a lot of them were writers for the paper.
00:34:36.880 --> 00:34:41.440
Uh uh back in the day, uh, Rick Fennell, people might know his name.
00:34:41.519 --> 00:34:47.519
He moved down to Charlotte, was covering sports down in Charlotte, still stayed in the league for a couple years and then left.
00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:54.079
Uh we had another another guy uh out covering in uh Green Bay, covering the Packers and whatnot.
00:34:54.159 --> 00:34:56.000
Uh we just lost him actually early.
00:34:56.320 --> 00:34:59.679
He was at the draft and had passed away unexpectedly a few weeks later.
00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:02.239
Oh just lost him to rest his soul.
00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:04.159
But uh So what did you do with his team?
00:35:04.320 --> 00:35:08.960
Uh gave it to another guy that you know had been interested, a friend of actually a friend of the commissioners.
00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:10.239
So he took a note.
00:35:11.679 --> 00:35:14.639
Uh yeah, yeah, Doug left him a shit team to be honest.
00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:19.599
But he's gonna do the best he can with it, you know, and then start fresh next year.
00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:20.320
Alright.
00:35:20.559 --> 00:35:20.960
Right.
00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:23.280
That's funny.
00:35:23.440 --> 00:35:23.920
Yeah.
00:35:24.159 --> 00:35:24.880
Well, good.
00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:27.920
So let's get into let's get right into our commute breakdown.
00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:33.599
Now, Peter, you're all in on this commute breakdown because obviously as a Giants fan, we're playing the Giants.
00:35:33.679 --> 00:35:35.199
So obviously, chime in.
00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:36.880
So here's what we do, Peter.
00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:42.559
Um, along with our uh our theme of commuting to the game.
00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:49.199
So we do uh a driveway take, a road hazard, a fast lane take, and then our red zone receipt.
00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:51.760
So I'll kind of walk you through how we do it all.
00:35:51.840 --> 00:36:03.280
So the driveway take is what just our gut reaction to how we feel, how we feel, just leave in the driveway how the game is gonna go.
00:36:03.519 --> 00:36:06.800
Um my driveway take to here.
00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:08.639
Oh, let's see, I've got it written down.
00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:12.880
Oh, my driveway take, this is a must-win for the commanders.
00:36:12.960 --> 00:36:14.639
This is a must-win.
00:36:14.719 --> 00:36:16.159
We're one and three.
00:36:16.320 --> 00:36:20.639
If we lose this game, we fall to 0-3 within the NFC East.
00:36:20.960 --> 00:36:21.840
Can't have that.
00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:29.920
Then it just gives the Giants that one extra win to put them one more up above in the in the win column.
00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:31.360
Yeah, I couldn't agree more.
00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:32.159
I really couldn't.
00:36:32.239 --> 00:36:33.599
It is a must-win.
00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:35.519
It's a must-win for the commanders.
00:36:35.760 --> 00:36:41.679
Obviously, if you're a Giants fan, you're also kind of feeling like it's a must-win to just create that separation.
00:36:41.760 --> 00:36:50.559
Well, I don't think it's a must-it's I don't think it's a must-win for the Giants right now because they, you know, they've got a full full game lead, but uh, you know, it certainly would be a nice win.
00:36:50.639 --> 00:36:56.000
Any anytime you can go on the road in the division and come away with a win, that that's that's a big win.
00:36:56.079 --> 00:36:59.840
So it would be a big win, but I don't I don't think we're in a must-win situation.
00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:05.039
You told me we were gonna be three-and-one after week four, um, you know, at the beginning of the season, I'd have to take it.
00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:09.679
I I didn't I don't have great expectations for the Giants this year other than improving.
00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:15.920
And then once once Dark went down and then the burns going down, what I think was a bigger impact.
00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:16.159
Yeah.
00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:21.280
You know, I'm I'm thrilled to be sitting here at three and one right now, and we'll see what happens today.
00:37:21.679 --> 00:37:34.639
Well, I mean, looking at your overall stats, it's it's really the defense that has kept you guys in your in your games because your offense, at least league-wise, is not ranked very well.
00:37:34.800 --> 00:37:42.239
You're like you're you're in the you're in the the low 20s, like 27, 28, pretty much everything.
00:37:42.559 --> 00:37:45.360
So that's absolutely true.
00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:50.960
That's why I'm saying you know, lose it loser burns one of the better, yeah, if not our best defensive player.
00:37:51.599 --> 00:38:01.039
Maybe you could argue that now with the uh just the the way Arville Reese is playing, but uh Burns is certainly one of our best defensive players, moves it and hurts.
00:38:01.280 --> 00:38:02.800
Yeah, it definitely does.
00:38:02.960 --> 00:38:19.760
Uh I remember in the um the hard knocks, the NFC East hard knocks, Burns was profiled uh pretty heavily in that, and then I actually think that he was signed in the Giants hard knocks season, um, in the off-season that happened prior to that.
00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:24.719
And he was he was something where the front office was, I mean, they were pumped to get him.
00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:26.960
Yep, he came from Carolina, right?
00:38:27.199 --> 00:38:28.320
Yes, I believe so.
00:38:28.719 --> 00:38:31.679
Um but yeah, big, big, uh, he's a big loss.
00:38:31.760 --> 00:38:33.280
Is he is it season ending?
00:38:33.360 --> 00:38:34.559
What was the injury exactly?
00:38:34.719 --> 00:38:36.079
Uh yeah, I think he's done for the year.
00:38:36.400 --> 00:38:38.719
I think it's a for not mistaken, it's an ACL.
00:38:38.880 --> 00:38:40.239
Yeah, that's that's tough.
00:38:40.400 --> 00:38:41.760
You need to see that.
00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:52.800
Um, now we look at this from the perspective of what's going to stop the commanders from having uh a win.
00:38:52.960 --> 00:39:00.480
Um, so the the road hazard, um what do I have here in my notes for the road hazard?
00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:07.760
I've got neighbors against zero safeties because we don't have any safeties, Mike.
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:11.920
On the back of our notes here, uh, I've got the injury report.
00:39:12.159 --> 00:39:19.360
And man, we pretty much, I mean, at one point during the week, everybody was on the injury report.
00:39:19.519 --> 00:39:27.760
Well, yeah, I mean, look at our even our wide receivers, digs, who is out, hamstring, McLaren hamstring, but I think he's gonna play.
00:39:27.920 --> 00:39:29.840
Yeah, so questionable.
00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:31.440
Um, yeah, I got you.
00:39:31.760 --> 00:39:37.840
I mean, everybody seems hurt, but I mean, on the D side of the ball and not having any of our starting safety.
00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:53.039
Now, I think Trey Amos, our corner, um, he's coming back, and we need we need a good corner back desperately because Sanestril, who was one of our good corners, has basically just decided to take the year off and be shit.
00:39:53.280 --> 00:39:58.960
Um, yeah, doesn't I mean that's just I don't know what that his snap count went down significantly.
00:39:59.199 --> 00:40:01.440
Well, because he's been playing like trash, okay?
00:40:01.599 --> 00:40:03.440
He's not he's not doing us any favors.
00:40:03.599 --> 00:40:07.679
Not that we're doing ourselves any favors, but he certainly isn't helping things.
00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:13.599
The thing is, I feel like our defense is like really improved from last season.
00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:15.280
Yeah, 100% 100%.
00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:17.679
But he is he is not improved.
00:40:17.840 --> 00:40:19.519
I don't know what has happened to him.
00:40:19.599 --> 00:40:22.239
I mean, his first year, he looked awesome.
00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:28.480
His second year, kind of like not necessarily pro bowler, but um teetering up there.
00:40:28.639 --> 00:40:34.719
I mean, he was graded on PFL as being one of the better corners in the league, and then now this year he's the worst.
00:40:34.880 --> 00:40:41.599
If there's 270 uh cornerbacks in the league, he's rated as 269 based on snap count.
00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:45.199
Um which is just so frustrating.
00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:59.679
Uh but anyway, so I've got I've got the I've got Malik Neighbors as our our road hazard, but Peter brought up a good point earlier that the rain might be our additional safety today.
00:40:59.840 --> 00:41:01.519
Yeah, and the and the and the wind.
00:41:01.599 --> 00:41:05.119
It's you know, the people who aren't in this area, it's not just raining.
00:41:05.199 --> 00:41:10.320
We're getting like you know, 30-35 mile an hour gusts during the day, so it's it is yeah.
00:41:10.400 --> 00:41:20.400
I mean, wet weather is weather's gonna be a factor, so it's gonna be, and I said this earlier, it's gonna be a run-heavy game, and who's gonna have the stronger run game?
00:41:20.559 --> 00:41:22.800
And can we get out of our own way?
00:41:23.039 --> 00:41:34.880
Now, before I get into my fast lane take, Mike, I think we need to let our listeners be reminded of what I said was gonna happen.
00:41:34.960 --> 00:41:45.119
This isn't like earth-shattering shit, but you didn't think that it was gonna happen, so I made it a point last week to make sure I put it on record.
00:41:45.199 --> 00:41:47.039
Let's see that instant replay.
00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:01.760
We're gonna see it back next week.
00:42:03.360 --> 00:42:08.400
Wait, let me say that one more time just before the end of the replay segment for next week.
00:42:18.960 --> 00:42:24.480
We will see in the starting line.
00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:30.079
I don't think we'll be able to keep it from much longer after that.
00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:36.320
Yeah, yeah, I think it'll be a lot of it.
00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:38.960
I think everybody's gonna like it.
00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:43.360
So I said last week that Jaden was gonna play.
00:42:43.440 --> 00:42:46.880
I didn't think that he went to London to practice for no reason.
00:42:47.119 --> 00:42:51.280
It was to get a full week of practice under his belt.
00:42:51.519 --> 00:43:07.679
Uh the chances of him playing last week were slim to none anyway, but I think him going to London to get a full week's worth of practice was only because he needed to get that practice under his belt uh leading into this week.
00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:28.719
And now, obviously, you were pretty adamant that that wasn't gonna happen last week, but I think part of your mindset there was assuming that Marcus was gonna be healthy, yes, and you assumed that Marcus was going to lead us to a victory last week in London, which means that you know having JD5 back wasn't as big of a deal.
00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:37.039
Right, but we because Mario went down last week, there was no discussion, there was no debate, we had no choice.
00:43:37.360 --> 00:43:39.360
JD had to start this week.
00:43:39.599 --> 00:43:43.440
Whether whether he was ready or not, he has to start this week.
00:43:43.519 --> 00:43:44.400
There is no other option.
00:43:44.800 --> 00:43:46.880
Well, there is always a choice.
00:43:47.039 --> 00:43:47.199
Yeah.
00:43:47.440 --> 00:43:57.280
Well one and three in the division, what one in four in the division one in four records with an own three in the division, yeah, would just be season over.
00:43:57.440 --> 00:43:57.679
Right.
00:43:57.920 --> 00:43:59.840
So JD's gotta play today.
00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:07.840
Whether he's truly ready or not, and whether the weather is going to even, you know, run the risk of him getting injured.
00:44:08.079 --> 00:44:09.360
Yeah, that's that's my point.
00:44:09.599 --> 00:44:17.440
But uh yeah, he's we'll leave it up to uh good old Dan Quinn and his uh infinite wisdom uh that he seems to have.
00:44:17.599 --> 00:44:18.800
Uh so we'll see.
00:44:19.039 --> 00:44:40.480
Well, we've got a tailgator in the back of the bus here yesterday that brought up a good point about today's weather and JD5 coming back, and maybe the slippery surface um might not be the greatest surface for a guy coming back from that, but honestly, it's his non-throwing elbow.
00:44:40.880 --> 00:44:45.199
So the point being, what's the worst that could happen?
00:44:45.440 --> 00:44:50.000
He dislocates it again, he's gonna get surgery in the offseason anyway.
00:44:50.239 --> 00:45:00.159
And and here's and I honestly didn't think about it, truth be told, until it was brought up as a point of discussion this week on Talk Radio.
00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:05.679
Is where was the brace at the beginning of the season prior to the injury?
00:45:05.840 --> 00:45:12.960
I didn't even think about it going into any of our games this season, but it is a valid question.
00:45:13.119 --> 00:45:14.800
And where where was it?
00:45:15.039 --> 00:45:18.559
He did not embrace the brace on week one.
00:45:19.119 --> 00:45:22.000
He did not embrace the brace, but guess what?
00:45:22.159 --> 00:45:26.000
He's embracing that brace for the rest of his career from this point on.
00:45:26.239 --> 00:45:27.039
Damn right he is.
00:45:27.360 --> 00:45:30.400
I mean, I I mean, we'll see what happens down the road.
00:45:30.559 --> 00:45:36.079
Maybe this injury just kind of gets uh forgotten if he stays healthy uh a couple years from now.
00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:42.400
He'll be like, yeah, remember he used to be thought of as injury prone, but yeah, the surgery might get him open, might get him out of the brace.
00:45:42.559 --> 00:45:43.760
Yeah, we'll we'll see.
00:45:43.840 --> 00:45:47.280
I mean, but I would still, I mean, if I were him, I wouldn't want to risk it no more.
00:45:47.440 --> 00:45:50.800
Yeah, I mean, this is twice in what a year.
00:45:51.119 --> 00:45:57.199
If the brace doesn't hinder his play, then what's what's faulting you from wearing it?
00:45:57.360 --> 00:46:03.599
It's like if an offensive lineman gets a torn ACL, he's gonna be wearing those knee braces for the rest of his career.
00:46:03.840 --> 00:46:06.000
Right, it's it's that exact same thing.
00:46:06.239 --> 00:46:14.239
So uh I think I I mean I think now he, like you said, he's gotta he's gotta have it on every time he takes the field.
00:46:14.320 --> 00:46:15.840
We can we can't risk it.
00:46:16.000 --> 00:46:18.880
Um, you know, we he's our franchise player.
00:46:18.960 --> 00:46:35.920
We've already been down this road before, and uh, we can't afford to have history repeat itself, and neither can good old Dan Quinn because his seat just keeps getting hotter by the week because of some of the stupid ass decisions he'd be making.
00:46:36.159 --> 00:46:50.719
Yeah, speaking of stupid decisions, Mike, we should have touched on this in the first quarter, but last week I understand the game was at a point to where it was kind of getting out of hand, but to go for it on fourth and two from the bone from from our of the opposing 30-yard line?
00:46:51.039 --> 00:46:53.039
When we're when we're not moving the ball down the field.
00:46:54.000 --> 00:46:59.920
When we're not when we're not moving the ball down the field, I mean it's it's a boneheaded call.
00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:00.800
Straight up.
00:47:01.119 --> 00:47:02.159
Boneheaded call.
00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:03.440
Hey, Mike.
00:47:03.599 --> 00:47:04.159
Yeah.
00:47:05.280 --> 00:47:06.239
Where are we at here?
00:47:06.320 --> 00:47:07.760
I don't want to be in this lane.
00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:08.639
Yeah.
00:47:10.800 --> 00:47:13.119
See, this this has got us going that way.
00:47:13.280 --> 00:47:14.559
That's got us going this way.
00:47:14.639 --> 00:47:16.159
That's why it's confusing here.
00:47:16.559 --> 00:47:19.440
Uh yeah, this is this is the split, so.
00:47:19.840 --> 00:47:20.000
Okay.
00:47:20.159 --> 00:47:20.719
We're good.
00:47:20.800 --> 00:47:23.360
We've got uh we're we're making good time today.
00:47:23.519 --> 00:47:25.599
I forget exactly what I said the ETA was gonna be.
00:47:25.920 --> 00:47:27.679
It was like 8 40.
00:47:27.760 --> 00:47:33.119
We've lost a few minutes just because of weather and stuff, but we're tracking to get there the same time we got there the other week.
00:47:35.920 --> 00:47:38.719
Which this is when you gotta get to the lot, folks.
00:47:38.880 --> 00:47:41.840
You gotta get to the lot, especially the red zone lot.
00:47:42.000 --> 00:47:48.880
So all the tailgate lots open at nine o'clock, except for the red zone lot opens an hour early at eight o'clock.
00:47:49.119 --> 00:47:56.800
This little time frame, that eight o'clock hour, that's the best time to get here and trying to avoid any bit any bit of traffic.
00:47:56.960 --> 00:48:00.000
Um and traffic has not been that bad this morning.
00:48:00.239 --> 00:48:02.000
So no, we're cruising right along.
00:48:02.159 --> 00:48:04.239
Yeah, I don't think it's gonna be a full house today.
00:48:04.480 --> 00:48:08.960
No, no, today's the kind of game where the tailgators stay home and tailgate.
00:48:09.039 --> 00:48:18.239
We will see a uh an influx of traffic that about an hour before, sometime around noon, you'll see everybody start to to make their way in.
00:48:18.400 --> 00:48:21.119
I just hope that New York doesn't take over the stadium.
00:48:21.280 --> 00:48:25.599
And of course, I'm not helping with that, bringing a giant fan with me.
00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:35.360
But uh, but no, I mean, unfortunately, Mike, we are we're a pretty good uh opposing fan stadium.
00:48:35.519 --> 00:48:36.000
Yep.
00:48:36.239 --> 00:48:39.039
I don't like that, but we're nice to the opposing fan.
00:48:39.280 --> 00:48:41.280
I mean, that's that's just that's just what it is.
00:48:41.360 --> 00:48:47.280
I've gotten used to it, so you know it's the southern hospitality starts in DC.
00:48:50.079 --> 00:48:51.920
Yeah, I think that's a good way to put it.
00:48:52.639 --> 00:48:58.719
It's early enough in the season, you guys aren't out of it, so you know people aren't gonna be easily giving up their tickets.
00:48:58.800 --> 00:49:03.440
So, you know, it's not easy for it's not easy for Big Blue to come down here in Moss.
00:49:03.599 --> 00:49:05.199
There's just not tickets available yet.
00:49:05.360 --> 00:49:05.440
Yeah.
00:49:05.920 --> 00:49:18.480
There's been plenty of years where Giants came down here late in the season, and uh, you know, it was literally like 40-50 percent blue because everybody, you know, everybody bailed on the skins and sold their tickets.
00:49:18.639 --> 00:49:21.280
Yeah, well, New York was similar to that last year, too.
00:49:21.440 --> 00:49:28.480
I think uh I remember the stadium was at about half capacity in the last four, five, six games of the of the year.
00:49:28.559 --> 00:49:29.840
Because I mean that's what happens.
00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:39.440
That's what happens if it's look the going to these games are not uh I mean it's not convenient.
00:49:39.679 --> 00:49:57.039
It's not, I mean, the as opposed to sitting on your couch and staying dry and being within a walking distance to your own damn bathroom, um, as opposed to committing to essentially for us a 12-hour day.
00:49:57.119 --> 00:49:57.280
Yeah.
00:49:57.440 --> 00:49:58.880
Because we left at 6 30.
00:49:58.960 --> 00:50:01.360
We don't get home at 6 30.
00:50:01.599 --> 00:50:05.599
Um by the time the game's done and we get we get all the way back there.
00:50:05.760 --> 00:50:12.559
So it's not an easy investment in time and energy to to go to these games on a Sunday.
00:50:12.800 --> 00:50:15.440
Um So we shall see.
00:50:15.840 --> 00:50:25.199
But Mike, before we get into our fourth quarter, do we have any oh we did we gotta get our red zone receipts um for the commute breakdown?
00:50:25.599 --> 00:50:27.199
So what do you think?
00:50:27.360 --> 00:50:28.239
What do you think here?
00:50:28.320 --> 00:50:30.880
What do you what's what's your final score?
00:50:31.119 --> 00:50:34.079
What's your final score prediction for today's game?
00:50:34.239 --> 00:50:37.119
Do you have us winning, you got us losing, and by how much?
00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:43.760
Uh I think despite the weather and everything else, uh, it's gonna be a close game because of the weather.
00:50:43.920 --> 00:50:53.599
I think that's gonna hinder uh a lot of options that we have available, but I think it's gonna be, I think we will eke out a win.
00:50:53.760 --> 00:50:58.320
Uh, but I'm gonna say it's gonna be 21 to 17.
00:50:58.800 --> 00:51:04.639
Because I think we can still easily score, because we have a history of it, uh, you know, at least 20 points.
00:51:04.719 --> 00:51:09.920
So I'm going with a 21-17 uh kind of win for us, I think.
00:51:10.239 --> 00:51:11.440
Michael, you nailed it.
00:51:11.519 --> 00:51:12.480
I agree.
00:51:13.440 --> 00:51:14.559
Final score.
00:51:14.719 --> 00:51:15.760
I was thinking that in my head.
00:51:16.239 --> 00:51:20.960
And it's a and it's a 27-17 on the lower scoring, still close.
00:51:21.199 --> 00:51:22.480
And we've already talked about it.
00:51:22.559 --> 00:51:23.760
It's a must-win.
00:51:23.920 --> 00:51:32.000
We cannot afford to lose this game if for no other reason because of the divisional record um and where we're at.
00:51:32.159 --> 00:51:34.239
Like, we have to win this game.
00:51:34.480 --> 00:51:41.840
Uh, you know, New York, as we've already talked about, they can afford to lose this game, uh, but it's a must-win for us.
00:51:42.480 --> 00:51:45.760
JD5 needs to play freely today.
00:51:46.159 --> 00:51:51.280
In week one, he seems timid and cautious.
00:51:51.519 --> 00:51:58.960
Um, in week two against the Cowboys, he seemed like he was playing free in the first half of that game.
00:51:59.119 --> 00:51:59.519
Yeah.
00:51:59.760 --> 00:52:04.320
Um, so we need to see him play free today.
00:52:04.480 --> 00:52:08.880
Uh and hopefully the brace gives him the confidence to do so.
00:52:09.039 --> 00:52:14.400
I'm hoping that the brace doesn't make him play cautious.
00:52:14.559 --> 00:52:21.760
I'm hoping, um, there's almost a part of me that hopes he gets uh a nice gentle sack early in the in the game.
00:52:22.079 --> 00:52:24.079
No, don't don't put that out there.
00:52:24.239 --> 00:52:28.639
Well, I just want him to be able to feel what it feels like to get tackled with that brace.
00:52:28.719 --> 00:52:32.320
Because, you know, he's been practicing with the brace for two weeks, but nobody's touched them.
00:52:32.719 --> 00:52:33.920
No one's touched them.
00:52:34.079 --> 00:52:36.639
I don't think his mom lets anybody touch them either.
00:52:37.679 --> 00:52:39.519
We know that's right, okay.
00:52:39.840 --> 00:52:40.880
Nobody's touching it.
00:52:41.119 --> 00:52:46.639
All I'm saying is I just want him to get I just want him to feel the just just get hit.
00:52:47.199 --> 00:52:49.440
Um not hard, you know.
00:52:49.519 --> 00:52:56.719
Like I said, just a gentle sack just so he he knows how the brace is going to react against uh a helmet.
00:52:56.880 --> 00:52:58.000
Because he's gonna get it.
00:52:58.559 --> 00:53:00.320
He's gonna feel it at some point.
00:53:00.480 --> 00:53:07.920
Um I I get your point, like if he's gonna get hit, uh let's get it over with early so he can make the adjustments.
00:53:08.000 --> 00:53:08.719
I I get that.
00:53:08.880 --> 00:53:21.519
Yeah, just for his own mental capacity, because like you know, you got these guys flying around, like, I don't want him thinking, like, oh, this is gonna hurt, or I gotta, I gotta go down this way, or this is how I've gotta slide now.
00:53:21.679 --> 00:53:28.719
Like, I just want him to be able to feel what it feels like on the elbow to sustain a hit.
00:53:29.280 --> 00:53:31.920
Um that way he's not stressing about it.
00:53:32.079 --> 00:53:34.239
Because I would be, I would be.
00:53:34.400 --> 00:53:39.599
If I was feeling like my elbow was about to go the wrong way, I would feel I would feel some type of way.
00:53:39.760 --> 00:53:40.159
Yeah.
00:53:40.400 --> 00:53:46.639
Um, but alright, so what's um who's your commander of the game?
00:53:48.000 --> 00:54:04.239
Well, given the the state of our injuries and just how we've been playing, and because it's his his game back, I think our player has to be JD, because like anything else, if we win this game, it's gonna be on his on his back.
00:54:04.400 --> 00:54:06.000
So he's gotta show up.
00:54:06.079 --> 00:54:07.519
Uh because we need it.
00:54:07.599 --> 00:54:12.559
Um because without JD in any any facet of the game, we don't have a chance.
00:54:12.719 --> 00:54:15.440
So uh he he's gotta be the guy.
00:54:15.679 --> 00:54:17.679
I I don't disagree at all.
00:54:17.760 --> 00:54:20.559
Um, he needs to have a good game for us today.
00:54:20.719 --> 00:54:26.800
Uh I I'm I'm gonna go with the commander of the game as Austin Eckler.
00:54:27.840 --> 00:54:31.199
Because there's a reason why they brought him back.
00:54:31.679 --> 00:54:36.000
He looked good in the in the few touches that he got in London.
00:54:36.159 --> 00:54:37.440
Let me just say this.
00:54:37.840 --> 00:54:46.880
Bill is our workhorse, and they beat him like he's our workhorse, but his yards per carry is something like 2.7 per carry.
00:54:47.599 --> 00:54:57.360
I think I think now that we have Eckler, I think he's you look, it's a good thing this is on tape, but I think he's gonna be our workhorse uh going forward.
00:54:57.519 --> 00:55:05.280
I I don't see the confidence in Bill, at least this point in the season, to where he's the workhorse anymore.
00:55:05.360 --> 00:55:06.719
I think it's gonna be Eckler.
00:55:06.800 --> 00:55:12.400
I think we're gonna lean on his his experience uh and his kind of tried and true nature.
00:55:12.639 --> 00:55:15.039
Um and I that's just what I think.
00:55:15.119 --> 00:55:21.840
I don't I don't think I don't think Bill, Bill, if Bill were the guy, we wouldn't have signed Austin Eckler.
00:55:22.079 --> 00:55:26.239
We would have kept Catron and we would have run with that as our backfield.
00:55:26.400 --> 00:55:30.079
The fact that you go back to Eckler, which I'm glad we did, don't get me wrong.
00:55:30.320 --> 00:55:31.679
Glad we signed him.
00:55:31.840 --> 00:55:34.960
I think that shows you Bill is not the guy.
00:55:35.199 --> 00:55:42.800
Well, let's be honest, before Austin Eckler got hurt, Bill was our rookie number two, right?
00:55:42.960 --> 00:55:48.000
And then just got kind of pushed into the starting position because of the injury.
00:55:48.320 --> 00:55:57.360
So, I mean, Austin Eckler was projected to be last year's number one and then just got caught up in all of the other injuries that we saw.
00:55:57.679 --> 00:55:58.960
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
00:55:59.039 --> 00:56:00.159
You're 100% right.
00:56:00.400 --> 00:56:15.760
So I I I think the commander of the game is gonna be Austin Eckler, and then for my bold prediction, and it kind of combines yours and my commander of the game, I my bold prediction is just gonna be a huge game out of our O line.
00:56:16.000 --> 00:56:31.519
Um and I'm not I I don't know how much we're gonna from them because they did not they did not do well in protecting our third string quarterback uh last week.
00:56:33.039 --> 00:56:33.920
So we've seen them do that.
00:56:34.079 --> 00:56:37.119
We've we've seen quarterbacks no matter who's back there running.
00:56:37.440 --> 00:56:38.639
So I 100% agree.
00:56:38.719 --> 00:56:41.920
That that's the that's that's it right there.
00:56:42.159 --> 00:56:45.119
My bold prediction is that we're gonna see a good game.
00:56:45.199 --> 00:56:46.159
Uh and it's bold.
00:56:46.880 --> 00:56:50.880
It's bold because we know why it's bold.
00:56:52.320 --> 00:56:52.559
Yes.
00:56:53.280 --> 00:56:58.880
Um Yeah, so that's is that our commute breakdown more or less?
00:56:59.360 --> 00:57:00.400
Yeah, more or less.
00:57:00.480 --> 00:57:01.599
We can go into uh.
00:57:03.039 --> 00:57:12.960
Yeah, give me uh uh Enjoy this coffee break with a fake coffee advertisement.
00:57:14.000 --> 00:57:19.760
This is what an ad for your coffee brand might sound like on our podcast.
00:57:20.880 --> 00:57:24.719
But today is brought to you by Command Coffee.
00:57:25.039 --> 00:57:59.280
There's nothing like the open road, the hum of tires, the sunrise over the interstate, the rich aroma of command coffee in your cup, brood for fans on the move, slow drift through a 1998 Chevy Hellcap for that authentic rest stop flavor, notes of optimism, asphalt, and just a hint of beef jerky.
00:58:00.000 --> 00:58:04.719
Like a football drive, it keeps pushing forward until the end zone.
00:58:06.559 --> 00:58:09.119
Find it wherever roads take you.
00:58:09.599 --> 00:58:18.079
Truck stop laundromats, abandoned toll booths, or that gas station that swears it has clean bathrooms.
00:58:19.920 --> 00:58:30.480
So when your GPS says continue straight for 173 miles, let Command Coffee keep you company.
00:58:31.119 --> 00:58:37.920
One sip feels like a hug from a stranger you probably shouldn't trust, but somehow do.
00:58:39.119 --> 00:58:40.559
Command Coffee.
00:58:40.800 --> 00:58:47.039
The best part of driving is pretending it's safe to drink this stuff while you do it.
00:58:51.360 --> 00:58:53.519
Coffee is fuel for the driving.
00:58:54.159 --> 00:58:55.599
Command your life.
00:58:55.920 --> 00:58:57.920
Coffee is fuel for the driving.
00:58:58.159 --> 00:58:59.599
Command your life.
00:59:05.199 --> 00:59:07.679
Command coffee is not responsible for missing access fumbles and snaps.
00:59:13.679 --> 00:59:15.199
Or taking your cup holder in the gatoring cooler.
00:59:20.960 --> 00:59:28.559
Okay, so we're back from break, and uh, we forgot to get the giant's perspective on the game, so uh that's on us.
00:59:28.880 --> 00:59:29.840
So take it away.
00:59:30.079 --> 00:59:33.679
All right, John, uh well, I've got it, I gotta go big blue here.
00:59:33.760 --> 00:59:36.239
Uh, but I think TDs are gonna be tough to come by.
00:59:36.320 --> 00:59:38.239
This I just can't get over this this weather.
00:59:38.320 --> 00:59:39.360
It's gonna be ugly.
00:59:39.440 --> 00:59:44.559
Um, and I think there'll be some field goals, but they're not gonna be long ones because of the wind and the weather.
00:59:44.719 --> 00:59:50.079
Uh so I've seen low-scoring games, Giants 16, Commanders 13.
00:59:50.400 --> 00:59:53.920
Have you felt like uh Scattabu hasn't lost a beat?
00:59:54.079 --> 00:59:56.639
Does he look the same that he did before the injury?
00:59:56.800 --> 00:59:58.159
Um, yeah, he he does.
00:59:58.239 --> 01:00:02.880
He looks he looks the same, and uh, you know, I I think overall he's gonna end up having a good year.
01:00:03.039 --> 01:00:17.760
Uh, I'd like to see them go back a little bit more to uh what they did in week one, which was running him a lot more right behind uh Ricard, and running the two of them right behind the big rookie on the uh on the uh right side of the O-line there.
01:00:17.920 --> 01:00:25.599
Because that's just three massive people, and you know, if they need two or three yards, that's tough to stop if you run that stack.
01:00:25.840 --> 01:00:30.960
Do you think we're gonna see JJ McCarthy um uh start at any point?
01:00:31.039 --> 01:00:44.480
I mean, obviously you don't you can't predict injury, but do you think Winston takes takes the starting job every every week, or do you think they brought JJ McCarthy in uh because they specifically want him to compete with James?
01:00:44.960 --> 01:00:51.679
Uh I think they brought him in because they have they have designs on on getting him in there eventually.
01:00:51.920 --> 01:00:55.280
Uh he he just has a a game that's more similar to Dart.
01:00:55.920 --> 01:01:07.920
Um and and if you think about it, you know, you look ahead to next year, you know, two guys, both young, similar game, that would be that would be a lot better than having you know Dart Winston.
01:01:08.400 --> 01:01:16.320
Yeah, I mean obviously Winston's on the tail end of his career uh and and plays the backup role really, really well.
01:01:16.639 --> 01:01:24.880
Um, you know, there's several guys that after they lose the starting job, you just kind of know it's like you're a starter, you're not a backup.
01:01:24.960 --> 01:01:25.119
Yeah.
01:01:25.360 --> 01:01:41.519
Because the organization, you know, there's a per there's something to be said about a veteran backup uh because they have they can't be too good because you don't want the fan base hollering at the head coach, start them, start them.
01:01:41.760 --> 01:01:44.320
Right, you don't you don't want a quarterback controversy, right?
01:01:44.400 --> 01:01:50.159
Yeah, so he can't he can't be like pushing your guy out the door.
01:01:50.400 --> 01:01:51.360
Actually, you're right.
01:01:51.440 --> 01:01:53.519
I mean if you have two quarterbacks, you have none.
01:01:53.760 --> 01:01:54.320
Right.
01:01:54.800 --> 01:01:55.440
Right.
01:01:55.760 --> 01:02:07.760
Um but and obviously good on these good on these quarterbacks for being able to create a long career like you see Flacco do.
01:02:07.920 --> 01:02:08.159
Yep.
01:02:08.480 --> 01:02:16.400
Um and it looks like Winston will continue to play for as long as he wants to, um, because he plays the backup role well.
01:02:16.480 --> 01:02:21.519
He's good enough to kind of get in and win you some games uh if you need him to.
01:02:21.679 --> 01:02:31.599
So yeah, going into the year, I would I would say that the commanders and and the Giants had two of the best backup quarterbacks in the league, you know, with Mariota and Winston.
01:02:31.920 --> 01:02:35.920
Um unfortunately, Mariota got hurt, and I've been disappointed.
01:02:36.079 --> 01:02:42.159
Winston played better in the past, even as a backup, and he he's really has not played well at all.
01:02:42.239 --> 01:02:51.199
And he, as Mike pointed out to me earlier, you know, our offensive stats show that the you know we're we're winning games kind of despite him.
01:02:51.760 --> 01:02:58.320
Um so I I think that's part of the reason you're gonna see McCarthy coming in before too long.
01:02:58.480 --> 01:02:58.719
Right.
01:02:58.880 --> 01:03:05.119
And plus, even though McCarthy hasn't played well, you know, don't forget that he played for our coach's brother back in Michigan.
01:03:05.280 --> 01:03:11.119
So I'm sure those two guys were talking, and um, you know, Harbaugh's Harbor likes the upside.
01:03:11.360 --> 01:03:12.400
Yeah, good point.
01:03:12.559 --> 01:03:13.360
Good point.
01:03:13.920 --> 01:03:18.320
Um all right, so this is uh the Hodge Podge section.
01:03:18.400 --> 01:03:21.840
We just talk about whatever the hell we want as we get into uh the stadium.
01:03:21.920 --> 01:03:23.760
I think I took a wrong turn.
01:03:23.920 --> 01:03:27.440
I don't know, but we added on uh a couple more minutes.
01:03:27.519 --> 01:03:31.760
We got about 10 minutes until we get to uh to the stadium here.
01:03:32.000 --> 01:03:36.960
Uh Mike, I'm not cooking today.
01:03:37.039 --> 01:03:40.719
I'm not cooking, I'll put that responsibility on on Ops.
01:03:40.880 --> 01:03:44.239
So we got a we got a crock pot full of meatballs back there.
01:03:44.320 --> 01:03:45.119
I hope they're good.
01:03:45.199 --> 01:03:51.599
But this is obviously the best time to bring up uh our tailgate sponsor for the podcast.
01:03:51.840 --> 01:03:58.719
Everybody needs to go on to halfchickenman.com.
01:03:59.119 --> 01:04:05.519
Now load your cart full of the hot honey rub, the Yeti seasoning.
01:04:05.679 --> 01:04:08.719
You've got your, he's got some new ones that he put out.
01:04:09.039 --> 01:04:11.440
There's a couple variety packs on there, they can just do that.
01:04:11.760 --> 01:04:17.519
Yeah, you got some variety packs, but you've gotta check out Half Chicken Man Seasonings and Rubs.
01:04:17.679 --> 01:04:28.239
Uh but go on to their website once you load up the cart uh full of everything that you want, put in promo code Command Command for how much off, Mikey?
01:04:28.800 --> 01:04:30.239
Uh is it 15%?
01:04:30.480 --> 01:04:32.480
I think 15% off.
01:04:32.559 --> 01:04:37.519
And and look, you've got to take those savings in this economy anywhere you can.
01:04:37.679 --> 01:04:40.719
Uh the gas prices are crazy.
01:04:40.880 --> 01:04:45.679
I filled up the other day at uh 427 a gallon.
01:04:45.840 --> 01:04:46.639
Oh my god.
01:04:47.039 --> 01:04:48.320
Huge can you believe it?
01:04:48.559 --> 01:04:51.760
Where in the where did you fill up at 427?
01:04:53.119 --> 01:04:57.440
Why didn't you just squeak out and go to like Sam's or something, get it for like$3.98?
01:04:57.760 --> 01:05:02.639
Once that uh once that gas light comes on, I you know I oh you wait till the light comes on.
01:05:02.800 --> 01:05:04.079
Gotcha, okay.
01:05:04.719 --> 01:05:06.639
Yeah, I run that sucker until it's empty.
01:05:06.800 --> 01:05:09.039
I mean, I fill it up and I empty that out.
01:05:09.360 --> 01:05:13.280
Uh but yeah, that's I was that was hard to watch.
01:05:13.360 --> 01:05:15.199
Uh I bet it was.
01:05:16.239 --> 01:05:24.000
I mean it it's hard to watch when I'm filling it up at you know four dollars at uh Sam's Club or wherever I can I find the cheapest gas.
01:05:24.079 --> 01:05:25.760
Because I go down to the quarter tank.
01:05:25.920 --> 01:05:29.840
That way I can hunt around and see who's got the cheapest gas.
01:05:29.920 --> 01:05:34.320
Because I I refuse to pay that$427,$429.
01:05:34.639 --> 01:05:36.239
No, I absolutely rip you.
01:05:36.800 --> 01:05:40.719
The cheapest gas you can find anymore is still is gonna be right around that four bucks.
01:05:40.800 --> 01:05:46.559
But uh that's why you got to take these savings when you can get them because it's not just gas, it's everything.
01:05:46.639 --> 01:05:54.000
You know, uh, one of the things, because I'm in sales, one of the things I like to point out to to folks that start complaining about prices.
01:05:54.320 --> 01:05:57.760
I gotta tell, I gotta remind them, and this kind of reminds me of last week.
01:05:57.840 --> 01:05:58.239
We got a touch.
01:05:58.719 --> 01:05:59.760
Looks like there's another accident on.
01:06:00.159 --> 01:06:00.960
They're all over the place.
01:06:01.119 --> 01:06:05.840
You got these cars just kind of spun out all over the place with this slick weather.
01:06:07.039 --> 01:06:12.800
But you know, Snickers bars, there's no such thing as a 50 cent or dollar uh candy bar.
01:06:13.039 --> 01:06:14.000
No, they don't exist.
01:06:14.159 --> 01:06:15.519
There's no such thing as a 50 cent or something.
01:06:15.599 --> 01:06:17.519
Not in this economy, the tariffs, okay?
01:06:17.679 --> 01:06:22.000
Those Snickers bars are pushing, you know, they're about the same cost as a gallon of gas.
01:06:22.079 --> 01:06:23.199
They're pacing that out.
01:06:23.280 --> 01:06:24.159
It's crazy.
01:06:24.400 --> 01:06:28.239
But uh I was uh speaking to half chicken man.
01:06:28.400 --> 01:06:33.440
Speaking of Snickers bars, back to last week's podcast a little bit.
01:06:33.519 --> 01:06:49.119
We we've got a uh from the comment section, um it was pointed out to me that I neglected to tell everybody uh what I won on the field for getting the trivia right.
01:06:49.280 --> 01:06:49.599
Oh yeah.
01:06:49.840 --> 01:06:54.400
And I neglected to tell everybody what the trivia questions were.
01:06:54.480 --> 01:06:55.760
Um Do you have those?
01:06:56.239 --> 01:06:56.960
I don't.
01:06:57.519 --> 01:07:05.119
Well, I know that we won, I got a$50 Fanatics gift card for everybody in our row.
01:07:05.360 --> 01:07:06.480
Which I haven't used yet.
01:07:06.719 --> 01:07:07.840
Haven't used yet.
01:07:08.079 --> 01:07:11.360
Um so we we everybody got that.
01:07:11.440 --> 01:07:13.679
So I won that for our entire first row.
01:07:13.760 --> 01:07:16.719
So I'm the I'm like most popular guy in our row now.
01:07:16.880 --> 01:07:20.159
Um but the question for last week.
01:07:20.239 --> 01:07:20.960
We'll see how this week.
01:07:21.519 --> 01:07:25.360
The questions, the trivia questions that were asked to me on the field.
01:07:25.599 --> 01:07:31.760
I don't recall the exact questions because truth be told, she cheated.
01:07:31.920 --> 01:07:34.639
I didn't cheat, she gave me the answers.
01:07:34.719 --> 01:07:35.039
Okay.
01:07:35.199 --> 01:07:36.880
Well, I don't know if I would have put that out there.
01:07:37.280 --> 01:07:45.840
She says, We want you to be successful now to her defense as it becomes to uh cheating for me.
01:07:46.079 --> 01:07:59.280
Um, because Sonny Jergensen and Monte Coleman were being uh recognized at at halftime, um they were the subject of both of the trivia questions.
01:07:59.360 --> 01:07:59.599
Uh-huh.
01:07:59.920 --> 01:08:16.640
I forget the exact question for Sonny Jergenson, but it might have been something like how many career uh completions or something, but it was 999 was the I mean you'll you'll put the video on social media, they can they can watch it there.
01:08:16.800 --> 01:08:27.199
And then Monty Coleman, I think it was like the amount of sacks he had in his career, but I looked at her and basically said after she read me the questions and said, Look, I'm a diehard.
01:08:28.640 --> 01:08:31.600
Who knows who on earth knows these questions?
01:08:31.760 --> 01:08:34.239
These are impossible trivia questions.
01:08:34.399 --> 01:08:41.439
Who knows how many 999 of any statistical categories for Carl Jurgens and Ramonte comment.
01:08:41.600 --> 01:08:45.199
So yeah, she cheated, she gave me the answers, she said, here's the answer.
01:08:45.439 --> 01:08:52.079
We obviously want you to be successful, which makes sense like nobody that goes on the field for any of those the other things.
01:08:52.800 --> 01:09:00.079
Your exit is right up here, so don't uh final last word.
01:09:02.159 --> 01:09:06.079
Yeah, don't go off right when we get too close to the right.
01:09:15.439 --> 01:09:16.640
Yeah, right here.
01:09:18.399 --> 01:09:24.000
Our boy, uh, our boy Chuck is waiting for us at the Delgay lot.
01:09:26.159 --> 01:09:28.399
He texted me what we what we're bringing for food.
01:09:28.479 --> 01:09:30.239
I said, We're bringing me boss up.
01:09:30.479 --> 01:09:33.680
So he's bringing something, and his son, I think, is coming to the game.
01:09:34.399 --> 01:09:36.000
Oh, he's bringing someone with him this week.
01:09:36.159 --> 01:09:47.279
It was a Redskins fan, he made sure to point that out because Chuck's notorious for uh bringing random fans or uh fans of uh opposing uh the opposing teams.
01:09:47.520 --> 01:09:55.359
So are we uh Mike as we're we're getting off of Arena Drive here going on a bright seat drive.
01:09:55.520 --> 01:09:58.000
Um you got that piece of paper?
01:09:58.079 --> 01:09:59.119
Where's that piece of paper?
01:09:59.279 --> 01:10:02.399
I got some hail, hail no and hail yeses.
01:10:02.720 --> 01:10:07.359
Uh these are gonna be.
01:10:07.600 --> 01:10:10.159
Oh man, is this Tacoma gonna let us over?
01:10:10.399 --> 01:10:11.680
Well, you're just gonna get.
01:10:12.159 --> 01:10:14.000
Yeah, we got honked at.
01:10:14.720 --> 01:10:15.199
Alright.
01:10:15.359 --> 01:10:17.439
I don't know what the hail questions are.
01:10:17.600 --> 01:10:18.399
Nobody gives a shit.
01:10:18.800 --> 01:10:19.359
Just make some up.
01:10:19.840 --> 01:10:20.800
Everybody cares.
01:10:21.439 --> 01:10:22.960
Let me give this guy a wave.
01:10:23.680 --> 01:10:27.680
Uh he's probably gonna give you the finger, so might want to not.
01:10:28.079 --> 01:10:30.000
Well, we're all we're all right.
01:10:30.239 --> 01:10:31.840
Hail yes, hail, hail no.
01:10:31.920 --> 01:10:44.640
For those of you uh first-time listeners out this, this this is basically our version of um Love Mary Kill is the uh politically correct way of saying that.
01:10:44.800 --> 01:10:47.439
Um so these are all New York themed.
01:10:47.520 --> 01:10:51.119
Um, Peter, feel feel free to uh chime in here.
01:10:51.359 --> 01:11:02.960
Okay so hail yes, hail and hail no, uh streetcart hot dog, hell yeah, New York cheesecake or New York slice of pizza.
01:11:03.039 --> 01:11:03.119
Okay.
01:11:03.359 --> 01:11:06.399
You get to hail no, hail, and hail yes.
01:11:06.640 --> 01:11:06.960
Oh.
01:11:07.439 --> 01:11:08.880
Hail yes on all three of those.
01:11:09.039 --> 01:11:11.600
Well, no, no, you can't do that.
01:11:12.079 --> 01:11:12.560
Why not?
01:11:12.880 --> 01:11:14.319
You just the rules of the game.
01:11:14.560 --> 01:11:15.199
That's an interesting question.
01:11:15.439 --> 01:11:17.439
Why does it be a good one?
01:11:17.760 --> 01:11:18.399
This is my game.
01:11:18.880 --> 01:11:19.680
All three are good.
01:11:19.920 --> 01:11:20.720
This is my game.
01:11:20.880 --> 01:11:21.680
I make the rules.
01:11:21.760 --> 01:11:22.720
You gotta kill one.
01:11:22.880 --> 01:11:24.399
Well, rules are meant to be broken.
01:11:24.479 --> 01:11:26.079
Let the guy hail all of them.
01:11:26.319 --> 01:11:27.680
All right, well, I'll go first then.
01:11:27.840 --> 01:11:33.359
It's a hail no to the street cart hot dog because nobody likes the the hot dogs.
01:11:33.680 --> 01:11:34.720
But all three are fantastic.
01:11:34.960 --> 01:11:36.399
Oh, that's them good.
01:11:36.479 --> 01:11:40.079
There's you got dozens of hot dogs cooking in the same water all day.
01:11:40.159 --> 01:11:42.640
It basically becomes a hot dog broth.
01:11:43.199 --> 01:11:44.079
Awesome.
01:11:45.760 --> 01:11:48.000
Awesome, and they're Sabrette hot dogs.
01:11:48.079 --> 01:11:49.600
Always make sure you're getting the Sabreto.
01:11:49.760 --> 01:11:50.079
It's fine.
01:11:50.159 --> 01:11:51.439
You guys make your own rules then.
01:11:51.600 --> 01:11:53.279
You can you can hell yes, you're gonna be able to do it.
01:11:53.439 --> 01:11:56.560
Well, sometimes you can't be a stickler for the rules there, Bob.
01:11:56.640 --> 01:11:57.920
You just let it happen.
01:11:58.319 --> 01:12:01.039
Okay, New York City tourist attractions here.
01:12:01.359 --> 01:12:05.439
Times Square, Central Park, Statue of Liberty.
01:12:05.680 --> 01:12:08.000
Hell yes, hell, hell no.
01:12:08.560 --> 01:12:09.199
Ah, okay.
01:12:09.279 --> 01:12:11.359
I'll play you, I'll play by your rules on this one.
01:12:11.600 --> 01:12:13.680
Yeah, that's because nobody wants to go to Times Square.
01:12:13.760 --> 01:12:14.159
Hell yeah.
01:12:14.880 --> 01:12:16.640
Hell yes, been there, that's a third statement.
01:12:18.399 --> 01:12:22.479
Uh kill, kill, whatever you call that for uh Times Square.
01:12:22.720 --> 01:12:24.800
And what's the third choice?
01:12:25.039 --> 01:12:25.680
Uh Central Park.
01:12:25.840 --> 01:12:26.800
Uh Statue of Liberty.
01:12:27.199 --> 01:12:29.680
Yeah, but well, but what's the other choice I have to use?
01:12:30.000 --> 01:12:31.680
You basically you've narrowed it down.
01:12:31.760 --> 01:12:39.199
You got you hail yes to uh Central Park, you hailed to state Statue of Liberty, and you hailed no Times Square.
01:12:39.359 --> 01:12:40.000
I agree.
01:12:40.399 --> 01:12:44.479
Um New York City uh TV sitcoms or shows.
01:12:44.560 --> 01:12:47.279
I've got Seinfeld Friends and SNL.
01:12:48.560 --> 01:12:52.800
Uh uh Seinfeld hail yes.
01:12:52.960 --> 01:12:53.119
Yes.
01:12:53.520 --> 01:12:59.039
We're we're right up here about um hail no friends.
01:12:59.119 --> 01:13:00.560
It's not really New York y.
01:13:00.720 --> 01:13:03.359
It's I mean, it's a good show, but that's not really a new show.
01:13:03.439 --> 01:13:05.439
I don't really consider it a New York show.
01:13:05.600 --> 01:13:07.359
That could be a coffee shop anywhere.
01:13:07.600 --> 01:13:08.159
That's true.
01:13:08.399 --> 01:13:10.960
Um Valley, I never thought about it like that.
01:13:11.039 --> 01:13:12.640
And then the other one, yeah.
01:13:13.039 --> 01:13:13.600
SNL.
01:13:14.960 --> 01:13:17.840
Hey, there's there's no guard here as we enter.
01:13:18.319 --> 01:13:20.479
Yeah, they they they're not here.
01:13:20.560 --> 01:13:25.439
We our first uh our first line of defense is taking the morning off.
01:13:25.600 --> 01:13:28.399
Yeah, I mean, all they were gonna do was just wave us in anyway.
01:13:28.640 --> 01:13:29.760
All right, subway.
01:13:29.840 --> 01:13:31.840
This is these are New York City problems here.
01:13:32.000 --> 01:13:32.159
Okay.
01:13:32.399 --> 01:13:38.479
Subway rats, your tiny apartment with huge rents, and then$9 beers.
01:13:39.199 --> 01:13:43.760
Um, hail yes,$9 beers, because they're$9 anywhere.
01:13:44.079 --> 01:13:44.720
I mean, it's a beer.

It's$9 anywhere, yeah.
01:13:47.119 --> 01:13:49.520
There's some awesome places to go get a beer in New York.
01:13:49.760 --> 01:13:51.520
Um, hail no.
01:13:52.079 --> 01:13:54.239
Uh I don't know.
01:13:54.319 --> 01:13:56.720
I'm gonna say hail to the hail to the subway rats.
01:13:57.439 --> 01:14:01.920
I mean, if you ever saw the video of Pizza Rat, you know, made famous because he was dragging a pizza, a piece of pizza.
01:14:02.720 --> 01:14:04.800
Yeah, don't let that screen go dark.
01:14:06.000 --> 01:14:08.560
So hail to the Ruskins, how you doing?
01:14:08.720 --> 01:14:10.399
Staying staying dry today?

Alright, we are in uh we are in the red zone lot.

We are cruising on down now.
01:14:34.159 --> 01:14:37.199
We've there's no question where we're at this year, Mikey.
01:14:37.359 --> 01:14:49.279
Because we know we we've decided last week that or last game that where we were at at the right next to the port-a-pots is gonna be our spot.
01:14:49.600 --> 01:14:50.000
There you go.
01:14:50.159 --> 01:14:52.960
Near the port-a-pots, up against the up against the trees.
01:14:54.159 --> 01:14:54.720
Nice.
01:14:56.960 --> 01:14:59.039
Now our boy that dumpster.
01:14:59.279 --> 01:15:03.359
Our boy Chuck, our uh our seat mate.
01:15:04.159 --> 01:15:08.000
He's is that's not our port-a-pots, it's the next port-a-pods.
01:15:08.960 --> 01:15:11.840
Uh Chucky's gonna be around here somewhere.
01:15:12.000 --> 01:15:14.239
Do you think he likes uh going by Chucky?
01:15:15.039 --> 01:15:15.840
Probably not.
01:15:16.000 --> 01:15:17.520
Uh-a pots right here.
01:15:17.680 --> 01:15:18.399
Yeah, that's us.
01:15:18.479 --> 01:15:19.760
They saved our spot.
01:15:20.000 --> 01:15:21.439
It's not too close, though.
01:15:21.840 --> 01:15:23.199
Is it too close?
01:15:23.600 --> 01:15:25.279
We can squeeze in there, right?
01:15:26.079 --> 01:15:28.560
No, I mean you really want to be literally next to them?
01:15:28.720 --> 01:15:33.199
That's where I mean, because um this van b blocks off.
01:15:33.520 --> 01:15:35.199
We're gonna have to park on this side.
01:15:35.279 --> 01:15:36.479
We can't do it right here, yeah.
01:15:36.880 --> 01:15:37.359
But that's the thing.
01:15:37.439 --> 01:15:38.479
I don't want to park on this side.
01:15:38.640 --> 01:15:45.039
You have to park back there, and then we'll be right side out if you back in on the other side.
01:15:45.279 --> 01:15:45.920
But you know what?
01:15:46.000 --> 01:15:46.560
You're driving.
01:15:46.720 --> 01:15:47.600
Do whatever you want.
01:15:47.680 --> 01:15:49.039
I'm just trying to help you.
01:15:49.680 --> 01:15:50.880
There's a pot of port-a-side.
01:15:53.279 --> 01:15:54.560
Oh, here's our guy Chuck.
01:15:54.720 --> 01:15:55.039
Yeah.
01:15:55.279 --> 01:15:55.920
What's up?
01:15:56.239 --> 01:15:57.760
Were you waiting for us?
01:15:58.560 --> 01:16:00.239
Yeah, we probably passed him down there.
01:16:02.640 --> 01:16:02.800
Yeah.
01:16:04.479 --> 01:16:06.000
Alright, let's go down there.
01:16:06.720 --> 01:16:07.439
There you go.
01:16:08.800 --> 01:16:09.760
Our guy Chuck is here.
01:16:10.000 --> 01:16:16.560
Straight could have backed porta pots with a bunch of there, but Gypsy's people are halfway up the like the unit.
01:16:16.800 --> 01:16:19.199
