00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:07,000
This is the Sports Porch Black
and Gold with your hosts, the

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,600
technical director, the Grand
Schwabini and Hockey Jesus.

3
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,240
Come on Pittsburgh, let's show a
little.

4
00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:21,800
Steelers, Penguins and Pirates
love The sports Porch.

5
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:30,200
Black and Gold starts now.
Yes, the sports Sports black and

6
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,080
gold does start now.
You have no idea how difficult

7
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,320
it is to get.
Did you check?

8
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,480
Did you check the mics to make?
Sure did check the mics were

9
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:43,600
good.
You were off work today,

10
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,120
correct?
So you had roughly and you were

11
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,760
off yesterday.
So you did have a full 24 hours.

12
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,560
36.
Hours to get prepared for the

13
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,120
the show.
All that is true and you're

14
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,960
saying it was difficult because
the last 30 seconds we were

15
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,160
sitting here?
No, what I was saying is that

16
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,600
you know the situation and you
come in and you antagonize me.

17
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,440
Hey, look, it doesn't matter if
you're watching us now and

18
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,560
you're watching on YouTube.
This is the sports porch, black

19
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,120
and gold.
This shit happens every time we

20
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,360
open the show, all during the
show and after the show.

21
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,320
That is the sacrifice that I
make for you.

Click notifications if you're on

23
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,480
YouTube, YouTube, we're growing
the channel, you guys.

24
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:36,760
Our last YouTube Live, which was
our post game show for the

25
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,760
Texans.
It was one of our most watched

26
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:39,920
shows.
Of course.

27
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,040
Yeah, of course.
Everybody wants to bitch about

28
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,640
the Steelers when they lose in
the way they lost.

29
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,120
I I look at it as more like
everybody, everyone in

30
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,560
Pittsburgh loves a funeral
because there might be food.

31
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:52,640
You know what I mean?
Well.

32
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,520
That was even.
Might be a cookie table.

33
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,080
And that was even before we
realized Coach Tomlin would be

34
00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:59,760
no longer coach of the
Pittsburgh.

35
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,440
There's no food online.
That makes no sense.

36
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,160
The bad analogy.
OK, I think it was a good

37
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,120
analogy, to be honest with you.
But hey, look, if you're

38
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,440
watching us on Facebook, thanks
for being here.

39
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,960
If you're watching us on X,
thanks for being here.

40
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,640
Now I'm going to drop a poll
into X right now.

41
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:16,600
Really.
Yeah.

42
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,960
Now it's it's it's.
Technical.

43
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,280
Director, I'm getting out ahead
of myself here.

44
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:26,520
I'm getting out ahead of myself.
But this poll on X, let's see

45
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,240
where it goes.
It'll be up for a day.

46
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,000
We may or may not breach this
subject during this show, but

47
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,640
it's Steelers related.
The Steelers hold the number 21

48
00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:39,480
pick in the 2026 NFL Draft,
which, in case you didn't know,

49
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,280
is here in Pittsburgh.
With Mike Tomlin out and a new

50
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:48,920
era beginning, I hope, what is
the top priority for the first

51
00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:51,360
round for this pick?
And I've got the choices at

52
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,400
quarterback, wide receiver, D
line, O line.

53
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,200
Do you want me to add another
choice before I hit the post

54
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,080
button?
Oh no, it only allows you to 4

55
00:02:59,080 --> 00:02:59,760
joiners.
Of course.

56
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:00,920
Good.
Those are 4 good.

57
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,360
Cases all right, so I just
popped that up there.

58
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,360
So if you're on Twitter, you
know, chime in there, let us

59
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,960
know what.
It's called X, now X and has

60
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,720
been for I believe well over a
year, at least three.

61
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:13,560
Years.
Three years.

62
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,120
Three years.
Yeah, you'll get there.

63
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:17,640
I know.
You'll get there, I know, I'm

64
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:20,320
sorry 'cause I didn't.
You buy it after Trump got

65
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,600
unelected because he said we got
to get more freedom into this

66
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:24,600
thing.
Here it is right now.

67
00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:26,520
I'll just buy it, yeah.
I don't know.

68
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,200
I don't know.
Doesn't matter anyway.

69
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,960
Look, if you know a good, if you
know somebody who's a die hard

70
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,760
black and gold fan, share this
with them.

71
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,120
Share it out.
We've been together for 35

72
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,880
years.
It's like a really kind of

73
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,080
comfortable marriage.
It's a new year, you can say 36.

74
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:48,600
OK, 36 years talking about
sports, love to have your input,

75
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,120
love to have you as part of the
show.

76
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,800
Just trying to grow this thing.
God rest the post Gazette legacy

77
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,600
media is out.
It's gone.

78
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,280
Not sports related but.
No more Post Gazette.

79
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,000
I did notice that.
No more papers.

80
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,440
To they're online.
They're all online still though.

81
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,520
I yeah, but I, no, I think, I
think it, it's actually going

82
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:12,280
out of business and, and I'm not
going to bust legacy media.

83
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,080
It'll still be online.
Like.

84
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,000
Yeah, everything's online
anyway.

85
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,880
Yeah, that's all it is.
They're just no longer actually

86
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,920
printing a paper, right?
Well, you know.

87
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,040
You know, I actually saw a
couple with a newspaper in the

88
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,840
gym.
I'm thinking to myself like.

89
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,000
What they're showing off.
It's kind of crazy.

90
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,920
No, they're, they're, they're
showing their ages what they're

91
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,600
showing.
Not even I would carry a

92
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,000
newspaper into the gym.
Well, listen, how old do you

93
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,880
think they were?
75.

94
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:45,800
OK, so is anybody that's 75 not
showing their age, whether they

95
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,400
have a newspaper or not?
Good point, good point.

96
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,240
They they look though, yes.
Yes.

97
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:55,880
And again, we get sidetracked.
So the Steelers after you voted

98
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,320
in our ex poll.
Thank you, the Steelers, big

99
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,040
news, Coach Tomlins out.
By the way, on our last show,

100
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,000
right right after that, go back
and watch that Texans show or

101
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,400
that Texans postgame.
You said it.

102
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,960
I said it, you did.
I said he is gone.

103
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,760
There is like, and I wasn't even
thinking about he's going to be

104
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:16,720
fired.
He's not going to be fired.

105
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:17,640
He's going to step down.
He's going.

106
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,640
I was like, somebody is going to
do the right thing.

107
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,480
Can we talk about that for at
least 4 minutes?

108
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,720
Yeah, I mean, incredible job.
I mean we.

109
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,120
Just waited. 5 minutes talking
about.

110
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,640
I mean, and yeah, I mean like, I
don't know if you want, you want

111
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,960
like a birthday cake for the
accomplishment or you know.

112
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,800
What I'll take, I will take a
chocolate cupcake.

113
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,080
That sounds good, yeah.
There he goes.

114
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,480
Now you can get one for
yourself.

115
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:49,160
So right, so bang, you know, pat
myself on the back there again.

116
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,440
But what what do you want to
talk about?

117
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,040
You want to talk about Tom and
going away?

118
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,600
I mean, it's, it's, I think it's
been talked about over and over

119
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,480
and over again.
Well, what are your thoughts?

120
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,600
Do you think he got pushed out
or do you think he quit?

121
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:02,480
I think.
I think.

122
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,480
That's the real.
Question well, here's the thing

123
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,840
and and you guys as you.
Because it does matter.

124
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,640
As you, as you watch and and
learn and and and chime in with

125
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:17,000
us and please comment, tell us
what you think, OK, You know, HJ

126
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,880
Hockey Jesus here, by the way,
down here below me and then the

127
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,440
grand Schwabeni across from me.
I believe you were asked a

128
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:23,280
question.
I know.

129
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,840
I know I I I really don't know
after because I I.

130
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,680
OK, you don't know Mark.
What do you think?

131
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,800
I know you have an opinion.
Absolutely.

132
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,000
He he stepped down himself
because it was too quick.

133
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:41,000
And you've also had, you know,
Art Rooney making statements

134
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,960
like, you know, I didn't see it
coming and you know, all that

135
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,760
kind of stuff.
And I think the way Tomlin sort

136
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:51,960
of looked at it was that, you
know, at some point you got to

137
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,000
look at the other side, you
know, forget about the the

138
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,440
winning seasons or non losing
seasons.

139
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,080
At some point, you have to look
at the other side and you have

140
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:07,800
to say, you know, eight straight
playoff losses, you know, nine

141
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,200
straight years without a playoff
win.

142
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:17,120
How can I keep going back,
especially when the last four or

143
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,200
five were so lopsided?
Yeah, I have a slightly

144
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,120
different thing.
I agree.

145
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,960
I think he was the ultimate one
who who pulled the trigger on

146
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:29,320
him, him leaving.
But I actually think that the

147
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:34,400
Rooneys in this case are
basically said to him like,

148
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:35,880
these are going to be the
changes.

149
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,120
Like there, there, there, there
have to be some changes and

150
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,720
these are going to be the
changes.

151
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,080
And I think he didn't expect
this from Tomlin.

152
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,600
And Tomlin basically just said,
well, then I quit.

153
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,040
You know, I think that's how it
went down.

154
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,680
And here's why I think so here's
here's why I say that.

155
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,840
When Cower went out, when Noel
went out, they they also said

156
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,120
they're retiring, right?
They had a press conference,

157
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,840
they came out in front of the
public and said the things that

158
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,160
they wanted to say about their
tenure.

159
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,440
That's a good point.
What, what did Tomlin do?

160
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,800
He he, he published a a
paragraph and that was it.

161
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,920
You've you've not even heard
from him yet.

162
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,080
So I think I think there were
some other things that happened

163
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,040
for that only for that reason,
only for that reason.

164
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,320
And but I don't think, I don't
think Rooney went in and said

165
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,200
you're fired.
I think he said these are the

166
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:32,000
changes and and Tomlin said, no
way, I'm not going to coach

167
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,000
under those those changes.
And for that reason, here's my

168
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,960
resignation.
I don't think, I don't think

169
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,799
Rooney saw that come.
That is a good point, yeah.

170
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:46,480
It is surprising that he hasn't.
Yeah, I mean, if he if he wanted

171
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,960
to true, if truly he wanted to
just step down and he said,

172
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,760
look, I I need a break from
this.

173
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,640
Like I I, I I've obviously, you
know, reached a peak here.

174
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,520
I can't I can't get over that
peak.

175
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,960
I can get to the postseason, I
can win games, but I can't win a

176
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,840
playoff game.
I need to, I need to take a

177
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,000
break from this.
It's it just I don't have it

178
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,640
right now, right you.
Know so but.

179
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,200
He didn't even say that.
He didn't come out and say that.

180
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,840
Yes.
So, you know, I, I actually

181
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,200
agree with you.
Yeah.

182
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,160
And that's where I was going.
It's like, I'm not really sure,

183
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,440
you know, when, when the grand
Swabini there's.

184
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,360
Only two people, really.
That's right.

185
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:21,600
And then who will ever really
know?

186
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,120
But when the Grand Swabini said
it happened so fast, you know,

187
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,000
that's kind of like, yeah, that
that that sounds right.

188
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,600
But something inside of me says
they're, you know, they didn't

189
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,360
go 24 hours without having a
conversation.

190
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,400
Rooney and, you know, Rooney and
Tyler and and and there had to

191
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,920
be the the media pressure and
the fan pressure in this town

192
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,440
over the last season.
Really, as it grew and grew and

193
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:51,160
grew was so big that it I felt
like it was almost like they

194
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,360
might have gotten in the room
and just kind of looked at each

195
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,040
other and said, well, this is
probably got to be it, you know,

196
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,440
like it was a mutual.
Yeah, baby.

197
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,680
Tomlin realized.
I.

198
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,440
Just think, am I going to win
back the fans here, you know?

199
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,720
Yeah, I, I mean, I guess I can
agree with that.

200
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,560
But if that was the case, I
still think he would have come

201
00:10:09,560 --> 00:10:11,320
out and said.
Something here's Amy May.

202
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,320
I don't.
I don't agree with Steve.

203
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,240
I think Tommen left on his own
after the booze and the playoff

204
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:17,760
loss.
Right.

205
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,040
Well, Amy's.
Allowed to be wrong.

206
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:20,800
Yeah, that's why we.
Well, I, I will.

207
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,720
I will tell you, I will tell you
one thing.

208
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:29,160
One thing, one thing that would
go in Steve's favor was when the

209
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:34,880
Eagles fired Doug Peterson,
Super Bowl winning coach, three

210
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,800
years post Super Bowl win.
He did not have a press

211
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:45,240
conference and there was a ton
of reporting that they told him

212
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,760
we want to replace the OC and
the DC and we're going to pick

213
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,080
them.
And he said no, yeah, he said I

214
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,040
can't work.
When you have that control for

215
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,240
so long, that's the only way I
see it.

216
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,840
When you have it for so long,
you're just not willing to give

217
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,480
it up.
You don't feel like you can have

218
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,400
control over your team if the GM
are actually picking the

219
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,880
players.
If, if the offensive coordinator

220
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,200
is actually running the offense,
if you've run the the the

221
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,560
Steelers as a monopoly, meaning
he makes all the decisions, it's

222
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,160
it's, it's actually nearly
impossible to do anything else.

223
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,080
Damn it, Kraken just scored a
goal.

224
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,280
So and it well, and that that
that comment from hockey Jesus

225
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,080
down there is because the Pens
are playing right now.

226
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,840
So if you are looking for the
normal hockey Jesus episode

227
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,240
right after the Pens game
tonight, he's here.

228
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,320
So when we get to that segment
of the show, will how much time

229
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,480
is left?
About 12 minutes left.

230
00:11:37,560 --> 00:11:40,600
OK, so by the time we get
through all this for us, yeah,

231
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,800
we we should have our own little
hockey Jesus update here.

232
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,440
Let's.
Get overtime and a shootout.

233
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,120
Steelers Freak is back in the
house.

234
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,120
Thanks for being here Steelers
Freak 22 players on one year

235
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,080
contracts.
Rogers not having it and the

236
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,560
stress of looking for the next
QB.

237
00:11:54,560 --> 00:11:56,200
We're not worth him coming back.
That's.

238
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,160
A very good.
Point Steelers, yeah, and and

239
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:00,960
Mike Lawrence back in the house,
Rooney said.

240
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,440
It was a kind of family
decision.

241
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,920
I think his family may have told
him to resign based on all the

242
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,160
negative reactions to his
record.

243
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:08,840
I mean.
Also very possible.

244
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,560
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then, of course, you know,

245
00:12:11,560 --> 00:12:15,600
you remember all the rumors when
Bill Cower left, and now they're

246
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,560
starting these same types of
rumors.

247
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,160
You know that that click bait is
just just, you know what?

248
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,920
Just when when you see it and
you accidentally click on it

249
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:30,120
just hit exit and say go away.
Never show me this post again

250
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,400
because that's ridiculous.
And I don't really care what

251
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,400
anybody does in their personal
life anyway, you know, I mean,

252
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,760
I'm not giving any credibility
to this bullshit.

253
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,800
I just, I, I started, I started
seeing it and I just started

254
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,440
laughing.
Like where do these I mean but

255
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,120
anyway.
They just want the clicks.

256
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:47,720
Anyway they.
We're here for you.

257
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,040
We're not here for the clicks.
So clicks or not.

258
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,880
That team is facing a bad up and
coming upcoming year.

259
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,920
He knew it and kept his.
He did he.

260
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,560
Kept it intact, never had a
losing season.

261
00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:02,160
I.
I agree with you there too.

262
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,320
Put it on his HOF.
Plaque.

263
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,120
I really do, I really do.
And and now he is going to sail

264
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,600
off into the sunset.
I just agree though, I do think

265
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,800
I know you think he won't coach
again.

266
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,480
I think, I think he will coach.
He might, he might.

267
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,520
I think he but.
The the beautiful thing about

268
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,120
him, if he does coach again, the
Steelers are going to get a

269
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,160
number one pick, so that's
great.

270
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:28,120
Although it it's only if he
coaches next year, if he if he

271
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,920
waits two years, they get
nothing.

272
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,280
Oh, because he's only under
contract for next year.

273
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,960
I'm actually going to put this
poll up on Twitter right on X

274
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,360
right now.
I get you another poll.

275
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,560
Yeah, because well then hope.
He coaches next.

276
00:13:41,560 --> 00:13:44,240
Year I'm going to put Will Mike
Tomlin coach again.

277
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,120
Yes or no?
I'm going to give this one like

278
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,440
7 days.
That's what I'm going to give

279
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:53,960
it.
Well, Mike Tomlin coach again,

280
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,880
yes or no go if you're on, if
you're watching us on X, you

281
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,040
know, we got a bunch of people
watching their thanks again, hit

282
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,760
that follow button.
It's been hard growing our X

283
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:03,880
page.
I'm on, you know, I don't know,

284
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,880
I don't know what's going on.
We don't post enough.

285
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,400
I know that's that is the
problem.

286
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,440
We're going to try to post more,
I promise you.

287
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,000
But you know, got another post
up there.

288
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,920
Drop it.
Something insensitive?

289
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:18,280
You know, we'll, we'll, we'll
please fire away.

290
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,880
Go ahead.
No, it had to do with porn and

291
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,720
it's just not necessary on the
show, right?

292
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,720
Now you just said the magic
word, you might as well no

293
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,080
anyway, so will Tomlin coach
again?

294
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,120
And that moves us into the
Steelers coaching search.

295
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,080
Who didn't?
You didn't make a comment on it,

296
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,000
I made one for you.
You don't want to voice your own

297
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:36,920
opinion.
What?

298
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,000
What about?
I said he will never coach

299
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:39,600
again.
I said.

300
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,160
You said I said he would coach
again.

301
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,360
You said that he would not coach
again.

302
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,640
But do you want to, you know,
expand upon your thoughts?

303
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,200
No.
Yeah.

304
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,280
No, no, I, I, I don't think
he'll coach again.

305
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,040
That's just my gut feeling.
You know, everybody thought Bill

306
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,240
Cower was going to coach again.
Yeah, that's true.

307
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,120
They thought he was going to
coach again and he.

308
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,720
He had some opportunities.
He's he's probably still getting

309
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,560
calls.
Well, there's a, there's AI

310
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:14,560
think there's, I think there's,
I think there's there's a

311
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,560
difference between Cower and
Tomlin.

312
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:23,960
Cower went into you know the the
booth or you know the the set.

313
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,880
Well, he went into the booth
show, right?

314
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,240
Right.
And he fell in love with it and,

315
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,480
and he, he thought like, this is
the greatest thing in the world.

316
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,440
I get paid to talk ball with all
these other guys who like to

317
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,760
talk ball.
And I don't have any pressure.

318
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,080
And nobody comes down hard on me
for anything, you know, And that

319
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,080
was great.
Now, Tomlin #1 we don't know if

320
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:51,800
he's going into TV.
I suspect he will, but we don't

321
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,440
know if he's going to like it,
right?

322
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,680
And I suspect he might not,
right.

323
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,000
You know, I, I think he just
might be.

324
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,520
I think he's driven and fueled
because.

325
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,440
Because his biggest attribute
ever, like everybody says, is

326
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,080
he's such a motivator, right?
It's tough when you all of a

327
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,600
sudden don't have 53 guys to
motivate.

328
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:11,760
Yeah, you know.
Interesting.

329
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,520
So that.
Sounds like it's coming from a

330
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,080
former head coach himself, yeah.
I don't know I I think if.

331
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,800
The sales team I.
Just, I don't know, I, I don't

332
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,360
know why I think this.
I think he could coach in in the

333
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,800
College, in the, you know, NCAA.
Yeah, I don't know.

334
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,160
I.
Think I think he, I think, I

335
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:31,360
think kids at that level would
really respond to him, you know?

336
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:32,880
Well, and you know what?
He might like that.

337
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,360
You know what I think he'd he'd
be looking for, He'd be looking

338
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,080
for.
He'd go to his alma mater.

339
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,120
He'd go go to Maryland.
He's he's looking for the John

340
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,600
Gruden replaced Tony Dungy at
Tampa Bay job.

341
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,840
You know, so like, for example,
if he was going to coach

342
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,120
somewhere else this year, he'd
be looking at that Buffalo job.

343
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,640
Yeah, give me the franchise
quarterback that can't go over

344
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,520
the hump and I'm going to will
them over the hump with my

345
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,120
motivation.
You know, it's interesting now

346
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,320
he.
Did it before I hear.

347
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:05,119
He is, he is.
He is under contract right?

348
00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:09,520
And the IT would technically be
a trade.

349
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,680
Yeah, you know, we did just talk
about this.

350
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,240
Were you not listening?
Yeah, I know.

351
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:14,359
I'm OK.
I'm OK.

352
00:17:16,599 --> 00:17:19,240
Listen, man, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm
listening, paying attention on

353
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,240
the power play.
He's watching a a frigging

354
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,480
hockey game.
So I'm I'm paying attention to

355
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:24,440
everything.
Yep, Yep.

356
00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:27,079
Because you don't pay attention
to anything but your own voice.

357
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,120
And what a voice you have, Mark.
Yes, that is, that is.

358
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,720
That is, it's a.
It's a voice made for not being

359
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,640
on TV.
With with talent on loan from

360
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,040
God as Rush Limbaugh.
I like, I like this.

361
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:43,920
I like that saying.
I never heard that before.

362
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,360
I never listened to that.
That was Rush Limbaugh yeah,

363
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,920
okay, coming coming to you with
talent on loan from God.

364
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,320
That's.
I mean, it does sound like me.

365
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:54,520
Thank you.
Yeah.

366
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,080
Thank you.
Sam, what's the next topic?

367
00:17:57,360 --> 00:17:58,800
And don't make it the.
Pirates.

368
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,520
It's not going to be.
Despite Mark's great hat.

369
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,240
No, I, I, I said Steelers
coaching search, who is the top

370
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:06,720
candidate?
So let's yeah.

371
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,200
Let's go 'cause I got to ride,
ride you right in the ground.

372
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,880
On So I I think this is what we
should do.

373
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:16,640
We should come up with who we
think the Steelers are going to

374
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:22,040
pick as their next head coach
and who, if we were running, the

375
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,400
Steelers would pick as their
next coach.

376
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,760
OK.
All right.

377
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:29,920
Fine.
Why don't you start?

378
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,120
Because I think who know?
We.

379
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,560
We no.
No, no, we're going to let HJ

380
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,720
stop.
Well, I have I have the list of

381
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,120
coaching interview requests by
the.

382
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,240
OK, yeah, let's run those, run
those down.

383
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:41,800
I I'm.
I'm going to butcher some of

384
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,680
these names, so please bear with
me.

385
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:48,600
Ejiro Ivero.
Yeah, he's one that's just

386
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,640
recently Panthers.
Defensive coordinator.

387
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,720
Yeah, he's a guy who I did not
know as of yesterday.

388
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,840
Yeah.
Brian, Brian Flores, you know,

389
00:18:57,120 --> 00:18:58,480
he was here for a little.
While.

390
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,480
Yeah, Jeff Hafley.
OK, That's the Packers.

391
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,080
He's actually gone now.
He just became head coach of

392
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:05,560
Miami.
So he's off the list.

393
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:11,160
Clay Kubiak.
All right, Mike McCarthy, Jesse

394
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,960
Minter.
Nate Shilasi.

395
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,760
Yep, he's what the OC with the
Rams, the.

396
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:22,680
Rams Yeah, that's right.
Chris Shola and Anthony Weaver.

397
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,760
OK, so for some reason Anthony
Weaver's getting a lot of play.

398
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,640
I also didn't know who he was
until today, but he's got, he's

399
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,040
got a second, I believe set up
with the Steelers and he's got a

400
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,040
first set up with the Ravens,
right?

401
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,560
Yeah, that's correct.
So if if you're asking me who I

402
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,480
think I I think they're going to
hire, I think they are going to

403
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,480
hire Anthony Weaver.
I think they're he's the guy and

404
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,360
he he here's the reason
defensive guy.

405
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,640
He's he's a little bit older.
He's a little bit older than the

406
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,600
typical Steeler.
He's in this 40s.

407
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,200
Typically they hire guys in
their 30s.

408
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,200
I think they're going to, I
think they're going to probably

409
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:07,440
don't.
They're not going to worry about

410
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,720
that six or seven age difference
just because they like who he

411
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,280
is, I think.
I like Chris Shula.

412
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,080
I he's younger.
He comes from the Rams, he's

413
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,520
coming from that.
He's coming from that tree that

414
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,120
that.
Shanahan.

415
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:28,200
Yeah, Shanahan and well, and
McVeigh, right?

416
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,400
So he's coming from a pretty
good lineage of he's seen some

417
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,360
good coaching done.
And he's got it in the

418
00:20:34,360 --> 00:20:37,280
bloodlines.
Yeah, Weaver is coming from the

419
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,000
Dolphins, which I don't know
about that, but if you're a head

420
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,400
coach, it doesn't matter because
you're just going to take over.

421
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,040
So those those would be my two.
Who?

422
00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:53,280
Who do you have, Mark?
I got to get I just I got to get

423
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:58,200
this comment up here go ahead
Steelers freak Sheel Haas is on

424
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,760
the sideline with will hide at
the 2 minute warning.

425
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,480
I can hear the answer announcer
now.

426
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,080
OK, go for it Swabber.
It's freaking power.

427
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,080
Well, actually, I want to ask a
question first.

428
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:15,400
Do they like Brian Flores?
Because he strikes me as kind of

429
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,880
an odd candidate.
Like, I think he was gone

430
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:24,280
because Tomlin probably felt
threatened by him #1 and #2 his

431
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:29,720
exit from Miami was less than
desirable with, in a sense, kind

432
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,920
of pointing the finger at
Dolphins upper management for

433
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:39,640
wrongdoing.
So I can't imagine that they

434
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,640
really like him, but from what I
hear, the reason why he's coming

435
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,480
in for an interview is because
he's familiar and they like him

436
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,360
in the building.
Yeah, I think he's just too old.

437
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,840
But I I see him as defensive
coordinator.

438
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:53,960
I see him as defensive
coordinator now.

439
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,680
That's if he doesn't get another
head coaching go jump.

440
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,280
Somewhere.
I think he's also interviewed at

441
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:04,040
Minnesota.
OK, so it's my turn now.

442
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,280
Well, I haven't given mine, but
let's since we've got you paying

443
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,920
attention, let's, let's, let's
get it.

444
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,360
Look, good for you first.
Let's go for you first.

445
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:19,480
This is not a popular pick, and
for that reason I am willing to

446
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,760
concede that it won't happen.
But I do believe that there is a

447
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,320
greater than 50% chance, which
makes his chance better than

448
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,800
anybody else's.
And that's Mike McCarthy.

449
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:36,680
And, and I said that days ago.
And I fully believe that Art

450
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,040
Rooney, the second is not
looking to make any great big

451
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:44,400
changes in the way that they
approach things.

452
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,920
McCarthy has deep Pittsburgh
ties.

453
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:54,800
This would be his dream job.
I'm assuming I and and I don't

454
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,800
think it's it's to Art Rooney.
The second it is not a risky

455
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,200
pick.
It's not a risky pick.

456
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,760
He's more of an offensive minded
coach.

457
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:11,600
So that satisfies the criticism
of their offense has sucked

458
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,800
basically since Ben
Roethlisberger left.

459
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:20,680
And no, he he doesn't have a
quarterback, but he does know a

460
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,200
pretty good quarterback who's
I'm probably going to retire.

461
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,200
But that guy's name is Aaron
Rodgers.

462
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:35,200
And it's unfortunate, but if I
base this on your hockey,

463
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:41,160
Jesus's never ending.
This knowledge of Steelers

464
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,560
history.
Well, disdain that too.

465
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,960
But disdain for the current
version of the Rooney family

466
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,800
running the team?
This is the pick.

467
00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:55,400
To me, this is just the pick.
You can make all the arguments

468
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,520
you want about all of these
other very talented

469
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,880
coordinators.
Brian Flores will not be the

470
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,360
head coach of this team.
He, by the way, Steelers freak.

471
00:24:06,360 --> 00:24:08,400
Yes, he is coming in for a
second interview.

472
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,200
Yeah.
So Brian Flores will not be the

473
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:17,880
head coach of this team.
Is is are you is there, do you

474
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,400
have some sort of volume going
on?

475
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,240
Sounds like a woman's in in the
house.

476
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,760
You know, I'm just watching you
get distracted.

477
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,360
I think my wife.
Just walked.

478
00:24:26,360 --> 00:24:28,480
Pay attention.
Pay attention to.

479
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,920
No, I think, I think.
I think we have a sports talk

480
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:36,160
show on right now.
Hey, it's never a dull moment

481
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,400
around here, OK?
I just want you to know that.

482
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,040
So I'm, I'm right there with
you, Mike Lawrence, please.

483
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,160
Not McCarthy.
I, I, he's been poisoned.

484
00:24:43,360 --> 00:24:45,200
He's been poisoned by more than
Jerry John.

485
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:51,160
Yeah, I, I listen, I am
definitely not on that train

486
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:55,520
because I want to see Mike
McCarthy on the sidelines at

487
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,880
Accresher Stadium.
That's not what I think is the

488
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,000
right call.
If you want to ask me who I

489
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,920
think the right call is, that's
tough.

490
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:10,240
I mean, I do like Shula.
I like Shula, they love

491
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,640
Pittsburgh connections and and I
think he would probably be and

492
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,760
he's, you know, being on the
Rams, he's a little more

493
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,360
defensive minded, but you got to
remember Pete, we're shying away

494
00:25:21,360 --> 00:25:22,880
from.
They're not going to, they're

495
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,000
not going to hire an offensive
minded.

496
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:26,840
Coach Right.
But what I'm saying is you got

497
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,320
to remember we're shy that we're
shying away from the defensive

498
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,240
coach side of the ball.
Like, oh God, would not like it

499
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,960
would be another Tomlin.
Just because you hire Chris

500
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,920
Shola and he's a defensive
minded head coach at that point,

501
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,520
that doesn't mean he's not going
to be OK with bringing in a

502
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,400
young, great offensive
coordinator.

503
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,720
That that was Tomlin's call.
Hey, Young Tomlin was great.

504
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,560
Right, right.
He had Aryans, he had right,

505
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,680
right.
So, so I'm not saying that I

506
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,560
don't want somebody else.
I would like to see if I'm going

507
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,240
to pick, I'm going to pick Chris
Schuler.

508
00:25:59,360 --> 00:26:03,200
I am.
I would like to see that, but I

509
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,720
believe.
I think they're going to go with

510
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,120
the football guy.
Anthony Weaver's a football guy.

511
00:26:08,120 --> 00:26:11,480
He's played football, he played
defensive and I just think he

512
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:12,600
that's who they're going to go
with.

513
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:17,520
So, Mark, give us your guy.
I am going to give you the guy

514
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:22,400
that the Grand Schwabini would
select and what do you know,

515
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:27,480
it's the same guy that the
Steelers are going to select and

516
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:32,280
that will be Clay Kubiak.
Yeah, Clay Kubiak, offensive.

517
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,680
Offensive coordinator of the San
Francisco 49ers.

518
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,840
What did the San Francisco 49ers
lack this year?

519
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,760
Wide receivers.
How was their offense?

520
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,840
Pretty darn good.
Right.

521
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,080
Yep.
To learn from Shanahan, one of

522
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:47,240
the best.
That's true.

523
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,840
He's young enough, he's got
football in his blood.

524
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:56,400
And I think that the Steelers
are going to, you know, sort of

525
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:00,400
appeal to the Steelers fan that
wants something new.

526
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:06,200
And with it always having been
about defense, I I see them

527
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,560
going in a new direction.
They're probably thinking either

528
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:14,160
A, we got to develop Howard, or
B, we're going to draft a

529
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,080
quarterback and we need a guy
who can develop a quarterback.

530
00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:19,960
It'd be good if they if they
went that direction and that

531
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,680
would be that would be new for
them.

532
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,920
A, he's older, B, he's offensive
minded.

533
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,920
So that would be completely
against what they normally do.

534
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,560
And I'm a big fan of doing
something new and but.

535
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,200
Young enough, I mean.
Young enough?

536
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,320
Yeah.
No, I mean, he's not, he's not,

537
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:35,840
he's not a guy who's at the end
of his.

538
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,200
Career.
Let's face it.

539
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,440
This guy could still coach for
20 years in the league and and

540
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,240
be no problem.
That's what the Steelers look

541
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,640
for typically.
So we'll see.

542
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,280
I mean, you know, the Steelers
have gone against their grain.

543
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,400
You know, they've they've made
they're starting to make trades.

544
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,640
You know, there's they.
Actually, he's 37.

545
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,680
Yeah.
Oh, is he 37?

546
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,720
He's 37.
Oh well, see, that fits the mold

547
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,000
perfectly, except for that he's
offensive minded.

548
00:28:02,360 --> 00:28:03,160
Yeah, right.
Yeah.

549
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,160
So that's that's the right age
for sure.

550
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,360
Now here's the one thing that I
have thought about.

551
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,880
And he's younger than Rogers, so
he probably doesn't want to

552
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,680
bring Rogers.
Back in, in regards to this

553
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:18,040
whole coaching search thing, I
mean, Hafley's off the board.

554
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,400
Somebody else came off the board
earlier.

555
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,480
John Harbaugh's off the board.
Harbaugh, which they were never

556
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,680
going to hire anyway.
Stefanski is and for everybody

557
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,560
in for everybody in this town
and I I've heard them all over

558
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,920
the radio media and all this.
You know, they should, they

559
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,040
should have looked, looked at
least looked at Stefanski.

560
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,680
No, I, I, I.
Didn't have a.

561
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,640
Chance to well, no, but I don't
I don't I don't agree with that

562
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,760
at all You you don't hire the
coach from.

563
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,880
The guy has only won eight games
in his career with Cleveland.

564
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,680
Eight games.
What are you talking about

565
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,640
that's not right now?
Do you think he went 11 and five

566
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,000
and took?
No, in his last in his last two

567
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:56,960
years.
Oh, last two years.

568
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,160
OK, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, you know, but.

569
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,200
Sorry, sorry.
But he was head coach.

570
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,320
He was coach of the year twice.
Yeah, yeah.

571
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,000
When he was good, he was good.
But I.

572
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:05,880
Don't know.
Yeah.

573
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,680
Now the the next situation we
have that that that I want to

574
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,600
talk about here is come on
pants.

575
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,720
As far as the steels are
concerned anyway.

576
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,720
And before we get there, I want
to thank you if you're watching

577
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,840

No, that's not icing.

578
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,480
If you pick us up on first of
all, I have to apologize for

579
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,240
Hockey Jesus.
He gets a little animated, which

580
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,320
is why sometimes he has to sleep
in another room.

581
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,280
Downstairs.
If you will, OK, whatever.

582
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,880
In a van down by the.
River Van down by the river.

Who are the Steelers going to

596
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,240
draft at #21 I mean, I, it's
early.

597
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,400
Like I get it.
It's, it's very, very early.

598
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:23,240
And we do have a new obviously
regime that will be taking over

599
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,600
and oh.
Yeah.

600
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,000
I want to know.
Way to go, boys.

601
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:33,920
I put this out there on Twitter
earlier on X earlier, What I put

602
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,000
out there, I'm going to mute
you, Hockey Jesus.

603
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:41,920
What I put out there was with
the 21 pick, what do they need?

604
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,720
Quarterback, wide receiver, D
line, O line.

605
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,560
I mean we got some votes coming
in.

606
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,000
Everybody's saying wide receiver
all so far.

607
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,680
What don't they need, right?
What I want to know is I got 0

608
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,840
on quarterback.
Why is that?

609
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:57,680
Why is that?
Well, that's.

610
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,560
Let us talk about It's an easy.
Answer it is an easy it's.

611
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:05,720
Extremely easy because it's not
a deep quarterback prop, it's

612
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:10,360
not a deep quarterback room.
And you know, there's, there's

613
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:15,840
one guy, Mendoza, who's going to
go #1 and then the the second

614
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,960
best quarterbacks from Oregon,
he decided to go back to school.

615
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,720
Well, that other guy.
'S pretty good, Ty.

616
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,680
And you got Ty Simpson now Ty
Simpson.

617
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:29,400
Look, if if there were five
quarterbacks that you know,

618
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,120
let's say had a first round
grade in this, in this draft

619
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,400
class, you might you'd probably
be able to get him at 21.

620
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:41,520
But since since he might be the
number two guy, he'll probably

621
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,040
go somewhere between like 7 and
13.

622
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,200
And, you know, the question is,
is it worth it to trade up for

623
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,080
this guy?
He's only played football for

624
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:56,120
one year, you know, at Alabama.
So I, I don't see them doing

625
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,680
that.
I see them taking the long with

626
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,640
the new coach.
I see them taking the longer

627
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,760
path, you know, so build up the
offensive line or the defensive

628
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:10,560
line, you know, get probably get
a receiver in the second round.

629
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,600
See if Will Howard's got
anything.

630
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:17,240
If he doesn't, you know, give
the keys to Mason Rudolph, have

631
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:22,040
your 6 and 11 season and go for
the quarterback the next year.

632
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,320
HJ.
This is a tough one for me

633
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,320
because I think they're going to
do something different only

634
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,880
because of drafts in Pittsburgh.
So you think they want to make a

635
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:32,560
splash?
I think they're going to move up

636
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,760
and I think they're going to
draft a quarterback.

637
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,680
Now how far they're going to
move up and who they're going to

638
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,600
get.
I, I can't I, I, I nobody knows

639
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,520
that, but I think that's what
they're going to do If they stay

640
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,360
put, I think they have to take a
wide receiver.

641
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,600
I mean they they absolutely have
to do something about that

642
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,640
position.
They got DK there.

643
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,880
Why not bring in a young wide
receiver to play with DK, right?

644
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,960
I mean that's.
So if they're going to stay put,

645
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,800
it's wide receiver.
But I really do believe, like

646
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,000
it's in Pittsburgh.
Could you imagine the freaking

647
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,160
crowd go nuts when they say the
trade is in?

648
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,760
The Steelers.
Have traded for the Steelers,

649
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,440
have traded for the number three
pick.

650
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,120
They've given up 4 picks for
him, but they got him.

651
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,760
You know, they only want to make
a splash on that opening night.

652
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,160
The rest of the nobody watches
the rest of the draft for the

653
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,520
most part.
You know, it's just the first,

654
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,640
first one and the fact that
they're going to have a a new

655
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:31,160
coach, new coach, new
quarterback, new blood.

656
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,680
You know, I think it's just I
think it I think that the

657
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,560
planets are in alignment for
this to happen.

658
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,760
I don't know.
I I'm still very skeptical

659
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,240
because the Steelers are super
traditional and that's just not

660
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,040
they never do that.
They never ever do that.

661
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:50,280
But so that's why I think it's
going to be a wide receiver 21.

662
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,920
Yeah, Tommy on YouTube.
Thanks for being here, buddy.

663
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,240
If you're not a subscriber,
please think about it.

664
00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,040
Wide receiver, please.
I'm with you, Tommy.

00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:05,080
Steelers Steelers Freak 2 Wide

667
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,520
Hi everybody.
A quarterback could be a dime

668
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:11,600
into the rough again.
Maybe.

669
00:34:11,679 --> 00:34:16,840
Josh Allen will be available.
Yeah, I'll tell you, the more

670
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,360
I've thought about it, the more
I say to myself, just going back

671
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:24,120
to this Tomlin thing real quick,
But man, Buffalo would be

672
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:29,040
perfect for that guy.
I mean, is there any conceivable

673
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,520
way that that there's no
conceivable way they could they

674
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,639
could get him unless they
offered the steal or something

675
00:34:34,679 --> 00:34:37,280
unimaginable, Yeah.
You know Josh Allen.

676
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,639
Yeah, in which case then he
wouldn't want to go.

677
00:34:40,159 --> 00:34:43,159
So, OK, there's that.
Joke's on you, Mike.

678
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:49,320
So franchise QB in the 2026
draft is is is Will Howard?

679
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,400
Way to go, boys.
And, and this is for everybody

680
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,000
who I heard all day long today
saying, right, we got to give

681
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,280
Will Howard or Mason Rudolph a
chance.

682
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,000
Look, I'm going to, I'm going to
piggyback this whole thing on

683
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,200
this.
I like the way you took your

684
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:02,800
glasses off.
Make you look smarter.

685
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,920
It's the way it is.
It's the way it works with

686
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,600
talent on loan from God.
I'm sorry, Rush Limbaugh.

687
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,560
Rest in peace.
I neither liked him or disliked.

688
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:12,920
Was he dead?
Oh, yeah, He died.

689
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,440
Yeah, Like lung cancer.
He smoked a ton of cigarettes.

690
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:17,920
Did he?
Yeah, that'll do it.

691
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:19,080
That'll do it.
That's right.

692
00:35:19,240 --> 00:35:21,120
You should probably quit
smoking, Mark.

693
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,800
That'll do Thankfully I don't
smoke.

694
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,960
OK, anyway, so getting.
That second hand smoke from Amy

695
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:29,040
did I?
Say, did I?

696
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,200
Yeah.
You didn't see Amy?

697
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:36,560
Out there living with him, I
mean, we smoked a lot living

698
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:37,800
with him.
I mean, it was.

699
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,480
Yeah, that was different than
cigarettes.

700
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,120
Yeah, well, we threw a few of
those in there as well for good

701
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:46,720
measure.
What I'm throwing out there is

702
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,600
is this.
I used to talk, when I used to

703
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,840
talk about head coaches and
coaching changes.

704
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,080
You might remember this.
HJI used to say all the time.

705
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,920
And then of course, this is the
old school NFL, but I think it

706
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,640
kind of applies still now.
I mean, there's some, you know,

707
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,800
it happens anyway.
It doesn't matter.

708
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,000
I used to say when you get a new
head coach, the best you can

709
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,640
hope for is an 8 and eight
season.

710
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,680
Now, that was back in the day,
16 games.

711
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,400
Now I think the best you can
hope for is a nine and eight or

712
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,720
eight, nine season.
When you get a new head coach,

713
00:36:15,720 --> 00:36:17,480
because you got a new head
coach, you got a new staff, you

714
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,560
got a new plan, you got new
players, you got all this kind

715
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,840
of stuff.
What I want to know is we

716
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,160
haven't had a losing season
around here in 19 years, boys,

717
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,880
19 years.
We haven't had a losing season

718
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:34,320
if we follow protocol and we
bring in a new head coach no

719
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,920
matter who the hell it is
considering the issues that the

720
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:41,680
team has.
I am going to say that I'm I'm

721
00:36:41,720 --> 00:36:46,120
I'm betting that when we have
our yearly prediction show at

722
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:50,240
the end of the pre season next
year, we're probably going to

723
00:36:50,240 --> 00:36:52,400
predict the Steelers have a
losing record.

724
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:57,120
Unless unless, you know, they
trade for Joe Burrow or

725
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,000
something ridiculous, you know
what I mean?

726
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,840
Another loser quarterback.
So, right, right.

727
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,600
But good.
So yeah.

728
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,560
Regular season.
Quarterback, right, right.

729
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:12,240
So, you know, you see where I'm
going with this, how many losing

730
00:37:12,240 --> 00:37:17,640
seasons as fans now are we going
to put up with?

731
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,360
Because I think most of Steelers
Nation, I'm going to, I'm going

732
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,080
to make an assumption out.
There and it's such an easy.

733
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,360
Question.
If you disagree with me, I want

734
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:25,960
you to tell me you disagree with
me.

735
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:31,680
But how many Steelers Nation
fans right now would say,

736
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:36,600
listen, a year where we're down
near the bottom to get that

737
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,720
really good draft pick the next
year?

738
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,560
I can live with that.
I, I, I can even get behind it

739
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,760
and watch the team and see,
because, you know, we won't have

740
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,840
to watch Tomlin mismanage the
clock anymore and all that kind

741
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:51,200
of bullshit.
So, you know, so I think a lot

742
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,640
of Steelers Nation is going to
say, yeah, that'll be fine, You

743
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,080
know, 6 and 10, five and 11,
blah, blah, blah.

744
00:37:56,280 --> 00:38:00,320
Just not O and 17, please.
How many of those in a row are

745
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:01,920
you think they're willing to put
up with?

746
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:06,760
Because this this, this
franchise has a history of

747
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:10,480
sticking, sticking with head
coaches, and they usually

748
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:14,200
produced pretty quickly.
And, you know, Noel turned a

749
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,320
crappy team into a Super Bowl
champion and a dynasty.

750
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:21,240
And then Cower came in and
turned a, a team that was

751
00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:24,760
downhill very quickly into a
powerhouse and then a Super Bowl

752
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,480
champion.
Mike Tomlin kept that going and

753
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:32,040
then never had a losing season.
So how many losing seasons are

754
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:37,240
we willing to put up with before
we realize that the Steelers are

755
00:38:37,240 --> 00:38:40,680
going to keep this guy around
for 10 years, even if he's

756
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,760
losing?
I mean.

757
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,880
The answer is 2.
The that's what you'll accept.

758
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:51,560
No, that's the right answer
because in, in, in two losing

759
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,000
seasons.
And by losing seasons, I mean

760
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:58,920
like four wins, like 4456 wins,
no more than six wins.

761
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:03,680
It's a, you know, you're out of
it by mid season, those kind of

762
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,280
that kind of season.
If you have two seasons like

763
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,360
that, you're going to get a top
five pick both of those seasons.

764
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:13,680
That gives you one year the F up
your quarterback pick so that

765
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:15,120
the next year you can get it
right.

766
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,840
OK, so that's exactly what the
New England Patriots did.

767
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,120
They brought in, they were on
this track.

768
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,120
They they remember they brought
in Cam Newton, right?

769
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:29,960
It was a failure from the start.
So then they but they had an OK,

770
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,680
they had an OK season.
Then they, so they had Mac Jones

771
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:35,720
kind of like their Kenny
Pickett, you know?

772
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,760
Little better than Kenny
Pickett, but same idea.

773
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,400
But same idea, right?
Then they got, then they then

774
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,280
they had garbage years.
So they had to play Jacoby

775
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:47,080
Brissett, Bailey Zappie, you
know, they still had Mac Jones

776
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,640
around because they were, you
know, who's in his third year

777
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,640
and they were garbage.
And the next year, who'd they

778
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:53,720
get?
Drake man.

779
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,080
And now everything just falls
together.

780
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,640
Now the other thing they did too
was they drafted well with at

781
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,040
the wide receiver position, the
talent positions.

782
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,480
And that's it.
That's all it takes.

783
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,320
You got to be bad for a couple
years to get those top five

784
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:11,480
picks, and if you do it for two
years and you hit on one of

785
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:15,520
them, you're back.
Now, if you do it for more than

786
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:19,080
couple years, then you become
the Cleveland Browns and that's

787
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:20,960
not good.
Nobody wants to go there.

788
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,320
Well, I would, I would say 2
years, but a little bit, little

789
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:29,720
bit different on the reasoning.
I think your first year you

790
00:40:29,720 --> 00:40:34,360
allow for not having your
franchise quarterback and you'll

791
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:38,240
have a losing season with either
Will Howard or Mason Rudolph.

792
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:44,200
Then your second year, you draft
your quarterback and you got.

793
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,720
You're going to you're going to
let that rookie play the price

794
00:40:46,720 --> 00:40:49,520
second-half of the year, right,
Because you're already out of.

795
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:53,120
It right, right, right and then
you know, but then your second

796
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,440
year, that's when you're going
to have that top ten pick you're

797
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,720
going to draft your quarterback
and you're going to get that

798
00:40:59,720 --> 00:41:04,400
quarterback, you know, possibly
even playing from the very

799
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,720
beginning of the season, but
they're going to have their ups

800
00:41:06,720 --> 00:41:09,760
and downs as a rookie.
So, you know, best case

801
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,840
scenario, nine and eight, best
case, right?

802
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,720
And then and you know, so I'm
willing to say, OK, if it's

803
00:41:16,720 --> 00:41:20,160
seven and 10, if it's six and
eleven, OK, it's a first bad

804
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:21,440
year.
Look, Drake may didn't have a

805
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:25,520
good first year. 03 and 14. 3
and 14 right so.

806
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:29,000
Bad, bad coach.
But then the second year, Drake

807
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,120
May, great coach, great May,
Yeah, Drake May with a good

808
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,560
coach.
And here we go.

809
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:40,680
Yeah, and that's, that's the
real dilemma that that the

810
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:45,360
Steelers have is that they don't
have a coach right now and they

811
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:51,400
also don't have a quarterback.
And and that's why this is going

812
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,960
to be one of the most
interesting off seasons we've

813
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:59,480
had in 15 years since they were
relevant as a playoff team.

814
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:04,000
But they're they're kind of
stuck, which is why I think that

815
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,240
unless again, there's some sort
of and blockbusters happen, you

816
00:42:07,240 --> 00:42:11,880
know, blockbusters happen.
Teams make ridiculous trades all

817
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:13,760
the time.
The.

818
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:14,920
Chance.
It's still very.

819
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,000
Rare, it's very rare.
So I'm just leaving.

820
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:20,560
I'm leaving that in there 'cause
that changes the landscape, but

821
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,800
it does.
But I, I have a feeling that we

822
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:29,040
are in for probably that year
that everybody or a lot of fans

823
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,680
have been asking for.
But you got to remember what you

824
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:33,200
asked for.
You got to be careful what you

825
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:37,160
asked for because in in any
universe, and this is coming

826
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:40,160
from a, from a recovering
Redskins fan, OK?

827
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,560
In any universe, even if you
think your team is bad, and if

828
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,120
you're a Browns fan, you know
exactly what I'm talking about.

829
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:48,560
You're a Browns fan.
You're a Redskins fan.

830
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:52,280
You think your team is bad, you
go into the next year with very

831
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,680
little hope, even though they're
hyping the hope.

832
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:59,000
And you know it's bullshit.
Yeah, it still sucks to watch.

833
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,880
It sucks.
That's why the head coach is a

834
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,080
really important position to get
right.

835
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:08,160
If you get somebody who doesn't
can't evaluate talent, who has

836
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,440
no idea what kind of offense he
wants to put together or

837
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:15,760
defense, hopefully you hire
somebody to do one or the other

838
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,640
right.
And then it just becomes a shit

839
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:22,120
show and it and it and it can
happen in two or three years.

840
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,920
And I don't think I know I
wouldn't put up for for longer

841
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,240
than that.
You start seeing it, you see a

842
00:43:27,240 --> 00:43:29,800
trend after two years.
You know, the other thing that

843
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,640
Chicago did, another team that
turned it around pretty quickly.

844
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,760
What they did with their free
agent signings was they went and

845
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:40,000
got offensive line right, good
anchored offensive lineman.

846
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,720
They get to, you know, keep
Caleb Williams from getting

847
00:43:42,720 --> 00:43:44,960
killed, which he got killed the
year before.

848
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:46,880
And that helped.
I mean, they went out and got

849
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:51,920
Joe Thooney, Jonah Jackson, They
got Drew Dahlman as a their

850
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:53,840
center.
So they really, really anchored

851
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,480
that offensive line.
That's the smart way to go about

852
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:59,280
it if you want to do it quickly.
And let's, let's face it, have

853
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,960
one of the most creative
offensive minds as head coach

854
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,680
right now.
And plus, you know, I don't know

855
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,800
where that horseshoe was hiding
up his ass, but Caleb Williams

856
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:09,560
can throw the ball.
Yeah, anywhere.

857
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:10,920
And it gets a touchdown.
Yeah.

858
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,000
That was unbelievable.
That was.

859
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,960
One of the two baddies out, but
man, that fourth down play that.

860
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:20,440
Was one of the best ever.
I mean, you know, that was a 14

861
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,520
yard.
Completion, I know, but it was

862
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,800
really 40.
He ran back 30 yards.

863
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:26,080
Yeah, I know, I know.
So.

864
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,720
Yeah, I think that's the
Steelers got a lot of things to

865
00:44:28,720 --> 00:44:31,480
look at here that that they can
get back into.

866
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,360
You know, they, they, they're
not, they, they weren't ever for

867
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:38,200
not relevant, but to be able to
take that next step to come into

868
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,040
the playoffs and say, hey, we
actually really have a chance

869
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,320
this year.
Not like, well, if this goes

870
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,880
right and this goes right and
this goes right, then we got a

871
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:47,480
chance.
No, you want to go in the

872
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,680
playoffs the way the Patriots
did, the way Chicago did.

873
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,400
You're playing home games.
You're you're feeling, you're

874
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,600
feeling good about the way
you're going in.

875
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,280
You've got a plan for beating
the other team and you do.

876
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,600
You know, so here's here's and
we'll wind it on this and move

877
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:03,640
on to our NFL predictions and
other stuff.

878
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,480
I want to see commitment from
Rooney by giving the new head

879
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,960
coach whatever and whoever,
whomever he asked for, expand

880
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:14,960
the staff with the analytics and
AI, plus upgrade the facilities.

881
00:45:15,240 --> 00:45:17,160
What do you think the chances of
all that happening?

882
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,800
I think it's it's, it's
absolutely necessary.

883
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:21,760
But what do you think the
chances of it happening?

884
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,640
Are well, I think I think it's
going to happen because I think

885
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:28,600
Art wants, you know, $600
million for upgrades at the, at

886
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,560
the, at the old stadium.
So I think in order for him to

887
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,720
get that, he's going to have to
show he can spend money so that

888
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,880
so that he can say, look, I'm
spending money on all this.

889
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,040
You got to spend the money on
the infrastructure and then

890
00:45:40,240 --> 00:45:41,640
stick it to the city of
Pittsburgh.

891
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:45,600
That's a good point.
If you if you had said no

892
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,240
because the Steelers are
historically a little bit you

893
00:45:48,240 --> 00:45:52,160
can never say any professional
sports team is cheap No, no,

894
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,160
but.
Rudy is a businessman.

895
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,760
He will spend money so that he
can make money.

896
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,480
And that's the way I see this.
Yeah, that's the way I see.

897
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,920
It it's a shame he doesn't see
that investing in head coaches

898
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,320
and as well, he did pay Tomlin a
lot of money, but he did.

899
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,120
He spent all his money on one
guy.

900
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:10,360
Once again it was it was a
failed model and and that model

901
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:12,520
is now over so.
Yay for us.

902
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:14,360

Amen.
Brothers name.

935
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,320
So thanks for being with us.
Oh, yeah, thanks.

936
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:28,920
Thanks for being all right.
Every year we do porch picks,

937
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,520
water porch picks.
Well, obviously we pick pick the

938
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:35,960
games I messed up last week.
I'm not really sure what our

939
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:42,800
records are anymore other than I
know that HJ is on top at 35 and

940
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:48,360
29 but I lost count I'm I'm.
And no one is.

941
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:50,920
Surprised.
Listen guys, I'm a former banker

942
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,560
and I got math.
I can tell you I was three in

943
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:55,000
one this weekend.
Yeah, I know you were.

944
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:56,160
I know you were.
You were.

945
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:58,200
Were you three of them?
No, you were two in one.

946
00:47:58,200 --> 00:47:59,840
Dude, What did I miss?
There's.

947
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:01,240
Four games.
There we go again.

948
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:02,560
Four games anyway.
OK.

949
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:08,840
So just like last week.
Sorry fans, sorry, it was Bill's

950
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:10,880
at Broncos.
Hey Tommy, thanks for the sub

951
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:12,000
Appreciate it.
Whatever.

952
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:13,760
Anyway, yes, thank you very
much.

953
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,280
Let's just talk.
Let's just talk games here.

954
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:20,760
Patriots.
Patriots at Broncos, Sunday,

955
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:25,600
3:00 PM Eastern Time.
What the hell?

956
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,080
What's going to happen here?
HJ your pick.

957
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:29,520
You're picking the comments,
guys.

958
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:34,080
Well, judging by from the way
that the Bills got effed with

959
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:37,840
that non catch, catch
interception catch, whatever it.

960
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:41,880
Is we could talk about that.
I think that they have it in, I

961
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:45,200
think they want the Broncos to
be there, but boy, can you take

962
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:47,760
Jared Stidham over Drake May at
this point.

963
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:51,320
Jake May was terrible in the
last game.

964
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:52,520
He was.
He was.

965
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:54,600
He was.
I wouldn't say he was terrible.

966
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:57,560
As a matter of fact, I would say
the I think here's what I would

967
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,000
say.
Just tell me what you guys

968
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,480
think, OK?
I think the overwhelming theme

969
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:07,440
to me this weekend was just how
bad the star quarterback play

970
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:08,880
was.
Yeah, I I agree.

971
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:12,640
With you from CJ Stroud to Josh
Allen, the.

972
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,360
Only one who really pulled it
out with Stafford at the end.

973
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,480
Yeah, you know, Yeah.
And he he, he made some

974
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:19,840
mistakes, right?
But he didn't make egregious

975
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:21,520
but.
There was a lot of bad play.

976
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:24,240
I mean like Josh Allen had 4
fumbles.

977
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,400
Yeah.
Well, and how many receptions?

978
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,040
How many of the CJ Stroud have?
CJ Stroud had four

979
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:30,800
interceptions.
I mean, like it.

980
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,080
It was insanity.
And and didn't he have a fumble

981
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:33,720
or two?
As well.

982
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,600
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think he, I think CJ Stroud

983
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:39,280
actually had 7 turnovers.
So yeah, I'd see.

984
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:41,400
I see the.
Super Bowl going one of two

985
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,480
ways.
Either go ahead and turn your

986
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:47,080
mic.
Hey, can you hear us now?

987
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:48,480
Skewers freak.
How about that?

988
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:52,240
Maybe you can hear us now.
I I just thought you didn't like

989
00:49:52,240 --> 00:49:58,040
I hit something in the middle.
Has decided just to try and

990
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:02,200
shoot down the show and one
blank for a yes, 2 blank for a

991
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:03,520
no.
Still no sound.

992
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:05,520
Oh, we're back.
OK.

993
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:06,960
Thanks, Tom.
All right.

994
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:09,880
So yeah, I'm.
Definitely going to go.

995
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:16,280
That's why I'm going to go with.
I just think that there's no

996
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:18,160
way.
There's no way, even though we

997
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:22,120
used to be in New England and
make it happen.

998
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:25,000
Yeah, you got, you've got to got
to go.

999
00:50:25,720 --> 00:50:27,960
It's here.
I mean, I'll tell you what if

1000
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:32,240
there was a service backup.
In Denver, I would probably,

1001
00:50:32,240 --> 00:50:35,520
well, I I heard that they were
going to go after Tom Breed.

1002
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,280
What do you think, Drew Brees?
Drew Brees is out there too, no?

1003
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:51,800
I think I.
Mean they're they're very

1004
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:55,440
confident with Stidham like
everybody, every all the you

1005
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:59,400
know all the all the of you
know, Stidham versus you know,

1006
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:23,040
did you see the.
Yeah, maybe.

1007
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:24,720
I mean, that's absolutely
possible.

1008
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:28,280
Like saying that there's no
audio now, big delays and

1009
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,080
echoes.
We're going to have to end this.

1010
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:33,400
We're going to have to end this.
Yeah, no, you're right, Tommy.

1011
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:36,560
Wait a minute.
I think it's coming back.

1012
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:39,840
It's coming back, maybe probably
because we're on Wi-Fi.

1013
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:43,560
Did the generator.
Kick in generator kicked in.

1014
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,960
Wait, you better go on mute.
You better go on mute if this is

1015
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:49,200
coming back, device is not
connected.

1016
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:51,760
No, it's not coming back.
So.

1017
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,440
Yeah.
There you go, you're back.

1018
00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:00,720
At least you're back at.
Least Oh my God we still have 60

1019
00:52:00,720 --> 00:52:02,640
freaking people here.
Unbelievable.

1020
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:03,840
Oh my.
Goodness, there we.

1021
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:04,360
Go.
That's a.

1022
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:07,800
Dedicated group.
I tell you what, if you stay

1023
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:12,000
during that, just give yourself
a round of applause, yeah.

1024
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:13,320
Seriously.
Because.

1025
00:52:13,720 --> 00:52:16,120
We have a technical director who
has technical.

1026
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:17,280
Problems.
No, This is.

1027
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:19,400
This is all about.
This is all about.

1028
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,000
His infrastructure in his house.
No.

1029
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,120
No, no, no, no, no.
It can't be him.

1030
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:27,280
It's got to be somebody.
We are working to remodel the

1031
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:28,600
studio.
Yes.

1032
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:32,480
So hopefully that'll be part.
Maybe a new generator and a

1033
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:35,400
backup Wi-Fi will be part.
I think we'll need a generator

1034
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:37,640
and a Yeah, generator, backup
Wi-Fi.

1035
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:39,880
Yeah.
And then we should be in good

1036
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:40,320
shape.
Shape.

1037
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,400
We apologize to you, our fans.
We're going to pull it out of

1038
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:46,800
the budget with the generator.
All right, so I went with New

1039
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:48,080
England.
Mark, who you going?

1040
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:50,480
To go with I'm.
Going to go with New England.

1041
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:52,680
I just don't believe in Jarrett
Stidham.

1042
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:56,080
That leaves a technical
director.

1043
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,400
Listen man, I I gotta go with.
I gotta go.

1044
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:02,960
I gotta go with New England, you
know, I gotta go with New

1045
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:04,840
England.
I'm with you Yoho son, we need

1046
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:07,080
some sassafras in the budget.
Yeah, yeah.

1047
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,560
Well, we got plenty of that
around anyway.

1048
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:12,640
Hidden in the.
Walls.

1049
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:14,720
All right.
You guys sounded like NASA

1050
00:53:14,720 --> 00:53:16,560
astronauts.
That's awesome.

1051
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:18,560
Not that.
Our best show yet.

1052
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:21,120
I can't, you know, I go back and
listen to the live of our shows.

1053
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:23,120
I can't wait.
Live from NASA.

1054
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:26,920
Live from the moon, it is the
sports sport.

1055
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:29,600
All right, what other games
being played?

1056
00:53:29,720 --> 00:53:31,520
Other games.
There is another game.

1057
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:33,600
The other game is Rams at
Seahawks.

1058
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:38,520
By the way, Zach Shabano, my
favorite kind of wine, is out

1059
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:39,800
for the season.
Torn ACL.

1060
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:42,960
That's actually better.
I think kW 3 is a much better

1061
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:44,960
runner.
Oh he definitely is but, but

1062
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:46,960
it's a but.
You need that combination.

1063
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:49,160
It's a combo, you know.
Then he can take a rest I.

1064
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:52,040
Gotta have a a secondary backup
who's almost as good.

1065
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:54,280
I don't know.
I don't know if anybody's near

1066
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:57,080
the level of Chardonnay.
Just throw out the JSN.

1067
00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:00,880
Just like Kramer, he always
dreamed of becoming a banker.

1068
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:03,040
Thank you, Steelers, for
acknowledging that.

1069
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:06,680
Who did you got?
Who did you just go with?

1070
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:09,960
So I have to go.
I, this is I, this is not who I

1071
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:12,320
think's going to win, but I have
to go with the Rams because

1072
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:16,600
they're my Super Bowl pick.
So if I go against the Rams, I

1073
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:19,200
would be lying to myself at the
beginning of the year.

1074
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:20,880
So I'm not going to do that.
I'm picking the.

1075
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:25,080
Rams, I'm completely OK.
I'm going to go with those

1076
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:26,800
Seahawks.
Yeah, they're.

1077
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:28,400
Real.
I mean, look, they, you know,

1078
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:30,720
look there.
I mean, to me anyway when I'm

1079
00:54:30,720 --> 00:54:33,760
watching these games, the
Seahawks stand out to me as the

1080
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:35,760
best team in the NFL.
Totally agree.

1081
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:37,840
So I didn't.
Say that for a week.

1082
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:39,440
So I'm going to say, yeah, you
have.

1083
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:42,600
I'm going to say that they
continue that and I'll tell you

1084
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:45,720
what too, just a little take a
little shot here.

1085
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:49,360
They could get out coached.
No, that's the shot.

1086
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:56,080
The shot Sean McVay is like one
of the worst coaches of all

1087
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:59,160
time, really, I.
I beg to differ.

1088
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:02,400
Yeah, the.
Most amount of playoff wins for

1089
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:07,080
a man under 40 in the history of
the league and double the next

1090
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:07,480
guy all.
Right.

1091
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:10,280
Well, then I'm wrong.
You're completely wrong.

1092
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:11,920
And he has won a Super Bowl.
But.

1093
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:16,320
He was egregious yesterday,
egregious.

1094
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:20,600
He basically he should have
ended the Rams season yesterday

1095
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:22,960
with his boneheaded play.
Oh my goodness.

1096
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:27,440
You know, you've got like a a
third and seven to to basically

1097
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:31,440
you get 8 yards, you win the
game and the bears have no

1098
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:35,640
chance to come back If you do a
running play, they don't even

1099
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:39,840
have to burn a time out, which
would be 1 legitimate reason

1100
00:55:40,240 --> 00:55:42,840
because the two-minute warnings
in seven seconds.

1101
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:48,800
So it was an absolutely idiotic
play call which almost costs

1102
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:50,800
this team.
You take the ball out of your

1103
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:54,120
best players.
Right.

1104
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:57,200
I mean.
You're only losing 27.

1105
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:00,040
You're only losing like 5
seconds if he doesn't catch the

1106
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:00,440
ball.
Right.

1107
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:02,440
And then?
He could catch the ball and skip

1108
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:04,040
down right Then you make it to
two minutes.

1109
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:08,920
I don't know, I feel like I've
just seen him more recently.

1110
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:11,040
I mean, because obviously when
he win the Super Bowl like five

1111
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:12,160
years ago, something like that,
it's.

1112
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:14,200
Been a while.
Yeah, I mean, I just seen him in

1113
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:18,560
recent playoff years, like he's
just, he's not making the right

1114
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:20,960
calls.
He's he's almost like, he's

1115
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:23,880
almost like, I almost look at
Sean McVay nowadays, like he's

1116
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:27,360
cursed.
You know, it's like he loses

1117
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:31,760
games in the craziest of ways.
Blocked field goals, you know

1118
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:36,200
what I mean?
Missed field goals. 2022 the

1119
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:39,240
Rams won Super Yeah.
So I, I don't know, I, I just,

1120
00:56:39,240 --> 00:56:41,680
I'm not a big believer in Sean
McVeigh.

1121
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:44,640
I think he's actually a really
bright mind and I think he's an

1122
00:56:44,720 --> 00:56:47,720
excellent offensive coordinator.
Sometimes he can out guess

1123
00:56:47,720 --> 00:56:49,160
himself.
I think yeah, exactly.

1124
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:51,640
I I think he out guesses.
The basics when it comes to the

1125
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:55,640
game.
I think Sean McVay is one of the

1126
00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:57,160
best head coaches.
Oh, I agree.

1127
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:00,960
I, I, I, he took a, he took a
team in the Rams.

1128
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:03,640
Looks like we're having some
Internet issues again.

1129
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:08,200
But he, he took, he took a team
in the Rams who had a, you know

1130
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:10,760
what ended up being a pretty
good quarterback in the NFL?

1131
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:13,080
Jared Goff took them to the
Super Bowl.

1132
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:15,520
He realized that he already had
the pieces in place.

1133
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:18,200
He needed one thing.
He needed Matt Stafford.

1134
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:21,680
Yeah, he did the better court.
He got him and he actually, he

1135
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:24,680
won the Super Bowl and since
then the boy.

1136
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:28,560
Genius I think also scored what,
9 points in the first Super Bowl

1137
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:31,480
with the with the with Jared
Goff?

1138
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:34,080
That's what I'm saying.
But that's look, you're not

1139
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:38,600
you're not a freaking genius if
you score 9 points with that

1140
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:42,880
team in the Super.
Bowl Listen, I think that Sean

1141
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:44,360
McVeigh is one of the best
coaches in.

1142
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:45,760
The end.
I agree with you and that's why

1143
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:49,560
I think he he can out coach the
rookie coach up in Seattle.

1144
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:52,440
Yeah, now I don't.
Know well he's not a rookie

1145
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:53,480
coach.
He's the second year.

1146
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:54,280
That's what I.
Mean.

1147
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:56,080
So you're going.
Rams, who are you going?

1148
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:57,560
Grant Schwabini, Who are you
going?

1149
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:00,400
I said Seattle, Oh, you said.
I think that's their only.

1150
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:01,600
That's their only hope.
Yeah.

1151
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:02,040
OK.
You.

1152
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:04,280
Know I I think, but Seattle
it's.

1153
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:06,880
Definitely the better team.
This is the whole, the the the

1154
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:09,440
crux of this whole thing.
Whole enchilada.

1155
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:12,320
Is that Seattle's playing at
home?

1156
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:15,080
Sam Darnold, everybody's afraid
is going to have another

1157
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:18,360
explosion.
This is where we find out if

1158
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:20,520
Darnold.
Darnold obviously learned from

1159
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:23,640
his experiences with the shitty
Jets and the shitty Panthers.

1160
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:25,520
Yes, they're shitty even though
they made the playoffs and.

1161
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:27,680
The shitty Vikings.
And then the shitty Vike while

1162
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:30,080
the Vikings weren't.
He did well.

1163
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:34,360
He had a good coach and he, and
then he blew up, you know, in a

1164
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:37,800
playoff game, the pressure, this
is his shot at redemption.

1165
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:41,600
It's his only shot.
If he blows up in this game,

1166
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:44,120
even if they lose, but he
doesn't blow up.

1167
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:49,280
But if he blows up in this game,
he he's done because the NFL has

1168
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:51,960
no patience anymore.
Now he'll probably stay the

1169
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:54,280
starting quarterback.
He might be a decent.

1170
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:56,080
Head coach, He'll he'll pick
him.

1171
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:58,320
Up he'll become.
He'll become Kirk Cousins.

1172
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:01,840
Just another guy who shows up
with stats, who can win games in

1173
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:04,400
the regular season and in the
playoffs.

1174
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:06,120
Just doesn't know what to do
with himself.

1175
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:10,440
So this is it.
Who do I give the victory to?

1176
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:14,320
I'm going with the Rams.
I think Sean Mcvay's been there

1177
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:16,640
before.
I think Matt Stafford knows

1178
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:20,280
exactly how not to panic in
these situations.

1179
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:23,280
They showed.
I know they were favored against

1180
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:25,760
the Bears by three or 3 1/2 or
whatever it was.

1181
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:30,040
But you know, I thought going
into that game with a 0�� wind

1182
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:33,560
chill and all that stuff, I
figured it's just not going to

1183
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:35,320
happen.
The Bears and the Bears almost

1184
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:38,200
did, but they're coming back out
to Seattle.

1185
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:39,840
The weather's not going to be
quite as bad.

1186
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:42,400
McVeigh knows how to coach in
these situations.

1187
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:43,520
I think the Rams are going to
win.

1188
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:46,160
And by the way, both my Super
Bowl picks, the Chargers and the

1189
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:48,560
Eagles are out.
So I do get to pick freely.

1190
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:51,960
So that's what I think is going
to happen.

1191
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:54,960

time yucking it up as they like
to say.

1197
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:17,400
Yeah, I'm looking for a little
color here, Boyce, I mean well.

1198
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:21,520
Your technical issues have.
Well, you, you've been very dry

1199
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:23,560
the past couple minutes.
I'm sort of falling asleep.

1200
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:28,280
So if you could maybe get to the
next segment, I appreciate it.

1201
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:32,960
OK, so this guy below me or this
guy above me right here, he was

1202
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:34,840
below me before the technical
difficulties.

1203
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:39,280
That's why TD and TD are anyway.
Hockey Jesus preaches on the

podcast after every single
hockey's game without fail.

1205
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:45,440
Hey, look, it's one in the
morning and they just finished a

1206
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:49,800
West Coast victory.
He's on live, but if you don't

1207
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:52,160
want to stay up that late, you
can catch him on the podcast the

1208
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:54,160
next day.
Hockey Jesus, the Penguins.

1209
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:58,840
Did they just win?
Hey sports Porcher, there we go.

1210
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,200
I have some good news.
The Pittsburgh Penguins did get

1211
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:06,120
a six, three win in Seattle.
They got two of the four points

1212
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:09,040
they need on the swing out to
the West Coast.

1213
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:11,880
Couldn't be more excited than
the way they did.

1214
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:14,520
It was fantastic.
They did it with defensive

1215
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:18,360
scoring, they did it.
They did it with fourth line

1216
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:20,840
scoring.
They got a Shorty and the guy

1217
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:24,400
who really put the nail in the
coffin was racks and the first

1218
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:27,640
line gets the much needed four,
you know, 5-3.

1219
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:32,520
The fifth goal to get him up two
goals ahead, you know, with less

1220
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:34,960
than a couple minutes left.
That's that's the that's a nail

1221
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:36,400
on the.
Would you say in this game that

1222
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:39,800
Wotherspoon set the tone?
Wotherspoon definitely set the

1223
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:43,920
spoon, the spoon tone.
What he did was he shot the puck

1224
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:48,560
up high and that was it.
The goalie couldn't stop it and

1225
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:51,840
that's, that's all it took.
But yeah, good win for the good

1226
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:54,840
win for the Pens tonight.
Sidney Crosby playing in his

1227
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:58,920
14th, 100th game. 1400 games for
Sidney.

1228
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:03,200
Crosby a lot of games.
He is actually second in the

1229
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:06,640
most amount of points in his
14th, 100th game.

1230
01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:13,200
He has 17140 points coming into
his 1004 hundredth game and he

1231
01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:20,440
he always caught Wayne Gretzky.
Wayne Gretzky has 2707 the 400th

1232
01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:24,840
game and the reason you don't
off the damn ice.

1233
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:27,080
They need to put they need to
start with the second line

1234
01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:30,600
because the second line can set
the tone and the thing which is

1235
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:35,200
unbelievable ones is like
tonight, oh for oh for two

1236
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:38,960
against Seattle on the power
play, maybe even oh for three

1237
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:42,200
and they're the worst penalty
kill in the league and they

1238
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:44,280
can't score a power play goal
off of them.

1239
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:47,640
It's just they they do this and
and it happened.

1240
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:51,120
It happened before with
Winnipeg, when Winnipeg was

1241
01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:53,480
terrible.
I don't understand how that can

1242
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:56,760
happen, but it does.
But the good thing is it didn't

1243
01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:59,520
cost them a win tonight.
So yeah.

1244
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:02,200
So the Pittsburgh Penguins win
tonight, their next game.

1245
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:04,200
Let me see when the next game
is.

1246
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:09,600
The next game, it will be at
Calgary 9:30 on Wednesday night.

1247
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:12,120
So that means I'll see you
around 1:00 PM.

1248
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:16,120
Thursday morning for my next.
Hockey Jesus.

1249
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:18,360
The Flames.
Wow, that was a good hockey

1250
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:21,880
Jesus, especially considering we
had to bookend it into this

1251
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:23,520
show.
Yeah, you know, I'm trying to

1252
01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:25,240
keep it quick, 5 minutes or
less.

1253
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:28,640
What is this?
Somebody had meatloaf?

1254
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:30,960
I smelled it through my phone
after the burp.

1255
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:33,240
Oh wow, I don't know.
I.

1256
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:35,880
Don't know but that wow that's
pretty good.

1257
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:37,800
You got that smell O vision.
Yeah, I don't know.

1258
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:39,480
I don't know Send.
One of those microphones over

1259
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:40,400
here.
I'd love to see you.

1260
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:43,800
I would love to smell versus
breath right now.

1261
01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:46,840
I've when he paused after he
said I would love to smell

1262
01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:50,520
Chris's I I had no idea.
No idea where I was going, no.

1263
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:54,040
No, no idea.
Mark Steeler's Freak wants you

1264
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:56,040
to put me on wife listening
mode.

1265
01:03:57,080 --> 01:03:59,440
I'll, I'll, I'll absolutely need
it for that one.

1266
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:01,560
AMI promise you that Steeler's
freak.

1267
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:03,760
I may.
I might be in my basement for

1268
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:05,040
that.
Don't be surprised.

1269
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:08,240
This is the part of the show
where we decide to give back to

1270
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:11,800
you, OK and charity.
That's very important.

1271
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:16,280
And, and, and it's important
because you've given us so much

1272
01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:21,280
of your time and so many of your
thoughts and we we feel for

1273
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:23,160
that.
So we give back to you in this

1274
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:25,680
port part of the show.
And I'm going to let the grand

1275
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:29,760
Schwab beanie explain how we do
that.

1276
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:32,360
Well, there's so many different
things to watch.

1277
01:04:32,360 --> 01:04:35,800
And now that the Steelers are
out of the playoffs, we must

1278
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:41,360
turn to things such as Netflix
and Hulu and Amazon Prime and

1279
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:45,880
all those services that we pay
through the roof for.

1280
01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:49,760
They say you're not paying your
cable bill.

1281
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:51,760
Well, look at your streaming
bill.

1282
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:57,800
But we are going, we are going
to tell you what to watch, what

1283
01:04:57,800 --> 01:05:01,480
not to watch.
And that is key because there's

1284
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:04,640
nothing worse than starting a
program and you're like, really

1285
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:06,920
like it.
And should we just quit this

1286
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:08,680
one?
Then Episode 3.

1287
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:13,680
And you know, we feel for you.
We're there for you.

1288
01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:16,240
We want to help you.
We don't want that to happen to

1289
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:18,800
you, no.
So we're going to give you

1290
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:21,120
advice.
Just follow the boys on the

1291
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:27,520
sports porch and you will be
guaranteed excellent vision,

1292
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:33,840
excellent television.
Vision.

1293
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:35,400
Vision.
Oh man.

1294
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:41,040
You weren't smithing that so
well.

1295
01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:47,000
And then the.
End and then let me do my my let

1296
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:50,080
me do my technical director
invitation here.

1297
01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:52,760
OK, I am.
There was 2 rules that you got

1298
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:55,160
to follow.
One, if it's a series, you got

1299
01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:58,560
to finish at least the season of
a series.

1300
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:02,360
You don't have to watch the
whole series, but you can, you

1301
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:06,080
know, make your comments after
one season in its entirety or

1302
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:10,480
two in its entirety.
And if it's a movie, you have to

1303
01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:12,280
see the entire movie, the entire
movie.

1304
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:18,920
You can't walk out of the movie.
So with that, Senor, Senor.

1305
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:22,840
I mean, that was pretty good.
Senor Director de technicao,

1306
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:24,000
let's.
Roll let's.

1307
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:27,920
Roll.
The Grand Schwa Beanie is

1308
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:29,200
watching.
Since that was such an

1309
01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:33,360
illustrious introduction.
You are watching.

1310
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:37,160
I watched his and hers on
Netflix.

1311
01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:42,160
It was a limited 6 episodes.
He can bang through it real

1312
01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:46,640
fast.
If you if you notice that is, I

1313
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:50,080
think his, I think his name, his
last name is Bernthal.

1314
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:51,160
Is that correct?
That is.

1315
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:53,520
John Bernthal, Yeah.
John Bernthal, Walking Dead.

1316
01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:56,160
That is the Shane from Walking
Dead, Yeah.

1317
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:59,080
He looks more like a Shane than
a John Doesn't.

1318
01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:01,440
He, he's definitely I, I think
he's a good actor.

1319
01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:04,640
Oh yeah, I like him.
Yeah, and he was also in the

1320
01:07:06,040 --> 01:07:09,720
death the the Punisher.
The punisher on that.

1321
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:11,000
Oh.
Yeah, that's the one I have him

1322
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:11,920
watching.
Oh, it's awesome.

1323
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:13,560
Yeah, I know you guys.
Love that one.

1324
01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:15,560
And the lady there is Tessa
Thompson.

1325
01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:18,000
I really like that she's she's
been in some good things as

1326
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:20,040
well, so.
Does he bang her really fast?

1327
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:24,360
Inappropriate inappropriate.
You're not going to find out

1328
01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:26,840
disappointed with you odd help
disappointed with you.

1329
01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:32,280
So anyway, the the the story
here is this you won't be

1330
01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:34,160
watching these two.
These two are.

1331
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:35,600
Married.
The answer is no.

1332
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:37,520
These two are married.
OK, OK.

1333
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:42,600
But they lost the child and so
they had been spending time

1334
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:44,480
apart, but they're not yet
divorced.

1335
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:48,600
OK.
And Shane, who I'll call him,

1336
01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:52,360
actually, he's he's Jack.
I think his name is Jack.

1337
01:07:52,840 --> 01:07:54,440
Either that's his first name or
last name.

1338
01:07:54,440 --> 01:08:00,080
Is his name Jack Shane?
Jack well, he, he is lead

1339
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:06,400
detective in the small town, OK
And there is a murder in this

1340
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:11,480
small town.
And also his wife is a news

1341
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:14,800
reporter and she took some time
off from the news because she

1342
01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:16,840
was dealing with the death of
the child.

1343
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:21,319
And now she's ready to come back
to the news and she convinces

1344
01:08:21,319 --> 01:08:24,080
her ex boss to let her report on
this news story.

1345
01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:27,880
OK.
And so they basically try to

1346
01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:31,560
solve the murder of this of this
woman.

1347
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:39,240
And it goes back to the four
best friends of Anna Test, Tessa

1348
01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:42,000
Thompson when she was back in
high school.

1349
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:47,640
OK.
And I will tell you what really,

1350
01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:54,120
really impressive last episode
to where like, here's here's

1351
01:08:54,120 --> 01:08:57,279
kind of what it comes down to.
First of all, I'd say there's

1352
01:08:57,279 --> 01:09:00,399
maybe a 25% chance that you're
going to get it right.

1353
01:09:00,399 --> 01:09:02,520
What the kill, who the killer
is, right.

1354
01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:06,120
OK.
The first time you think you've

1355
01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:10,720
been revealed the killer, OK.
And then after that, I'm going

1356
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:17,439
to say you got a 5% chance.
So it was, it was definitely.

1357
01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:19,960
It's a thumbs up.
The major surprise?

1358
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:22,479
A big thumbs.
A big two thumbs up.

1359
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:25,520
Very, very good show.
His and hers on Netflix.

1360
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:27,240
You have to.
Like make your way through to

1361
01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:29,960
that last episode or.
No, no, they were pretty much

1362
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:33,080
all pretty good.
I mean, I would I would say

1363
01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:36,279
yeah.
I mean, 3456, we're probably

1364
01:09:36,279 --> 01:09:39,160
better than one and two.
Yeah, you know, but but I.

1365
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:42,319
Did hear this about that show?
You know, there's actually like,

1366
01:09:42,319 --> 01:09:45,359
you know, sometimes they'll make
like a coda version, like a 5

1367
01:09:45,359 --> 01:09:49,399
minute version, OK for like if
there was going to be another

1368
01:09:49,399 --> 01:09:50,680
season or something.
Yeah, right.

1369
01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:52,040
Right.
Yeah, yeah, there's this like

1370
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:56,160
behind the thing scenes thing.
I can't get it out.

1371
01:09:56,160 --> 01:09:58,200
I'm sorry.
There's just behind the scenes

1372
01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:01,560
thing where like he they figure
out who the murderer is and then

1373
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:05,920
at the end his he gets shot by a
robber and then he wakes up in

1374
01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:09,120
the world's filled with zombies.
That's insane.

1375
01:10:09,120 --> 01:10:11,440
Yeah, yeah, the that is the.
Walking Dead.

1376
01:10:11,440 --> 01:10:12,440
That's how The Walking Dead.
Oh.

1377
01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:15,880
OK, it's a Walking Dead rap.
He was a Walking Dead fan and

1378
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:17,240
that.
Was, yeah, I mean.

1379
01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:18,640
Comedy's a good good.
Effort.

1380
01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:20,240
Comedy's not your 410.
Good effort.

1381
01:10:20,240 --> 01:10:21,600
It's really not.
You work too hard.

1382
01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:25,200
Yeah, but I do.
Sometimes I have good ideas.

1383
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:28,720
Sometimes I have good ideas.
And since we're on the subject

1384
01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:34,560
of The Walking Dead yours truly,
the TD has just finished Walking

1385
01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:37,760
Dead Dead City Season 2 on
Netflix.

1386
01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:40,520
Actually, I finished it last
week, but good old Nick, I made

1387
01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:44,240
a promise to the fans on the
show a few years ago, or did

1388
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:48,080
that I was going to watch every
single Walking Dead series all

1389
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:49,880
the way to the end.
You did.

1390
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:54,960
And boy, am I upset about that.
This was kind of like your, you

1391
01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:57,960
were going to, you know, every
single Pittsburgh Pirates.

1392
01:10:57,960 --> 01:11:00,680
There were, there were two.
That was more enjoyable.

1393
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:05,280
I've watched everyone except 2.
There were two that I watched

1394
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:09,120
one episode and I said Nah not
me.

1395
01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:11,480
And that was the Daryl one.
Daryl Dixon I.

1396
01:11:11,480 --> 01:11:14,080
I've watched.
That and this one, yeah, I was

1397
01:11:14,080 --> 01:11:18,160
like, I, I don't think I can
deal with like Maggie and being

1398
01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:19,880
freaking anymore.
I don't.

1399
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:22,400
I don't want to.
Best friends.

1400
01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:24,040
Listen, here's the thing.
Here's the thing.

1401
01:11:24,400 --> 01:11:27,120
Like if you were a fan of The
Walking Dead, the original one,

1402
01:11:27,200 --> 01:11:29,600
there was a moment where that 1
jumped the shark.

1403
01:11:30,440 --> 01:11:33,880
But I continue to watch it and I
I believe it was it was I still

1404
01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:36,000
to this day it one of the best
of all time.

1405
01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:38,800
Fear The Walking Dead same
thing.

1406
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:41,200
It then it had a moment where it
jumped the shark blah blah blah

1407
01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:44,720
blah blah.
The first season of Walking Dead

1408
01:11:44,720 --> 01:11:49,000
dead city I was of course, the
compelling story is Maggie and

1409
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:53,400
Negan.
By the time I got to season 2

1410
01:11:53,400 --> 01:11:57,280
and started watching it, let me
tell you, I felt like I was

1411
01:11:57,280 --> 01:12:02,760
being held hostage by my promise
to all of the fans out there.

1412
01:12:03,720 --> 01:12:08,720
I forced myself to watch it.
It was so utterly predictable

1413
01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:10,640
and frustrating at the same
time.

1414
01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:14,680
So that being said, since this
is how we give you some of your

1415
01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:17,440
time back, I'm going to tell you
right now.

1416
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:20,560
Look, if you've already watched
season one, that what that tells

1417
01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:23,040
me is you're a Walking Dead fan,
right?

1418
01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:28,200
So sure watch season 2, but just
remember I told you it it's not

1419
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:30,480
that good.
It's it's it's time to end this

1420
01:12:30,480 --> 01:12:34,320
franchise is my opinion.
It's it, it ran its course.

1421
01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:36,160
It's it.
It's awesome, but.

1422
01:12:36,440 --> 01:12:39,040
Yeah, we'll do some kind of
reboot plus something.

1423
01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:44,800
Plus the the the 6th episode
finale with what was it called

1424
01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:48,000
Walking Dead walk that they live
or something or?

1425
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:50,960
Yeah, that was with.
With Michelle and Rick.

1426
01:12:51,120 --> 01:12:52,800
That was good.
Like, that was really good.

1427
01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:54,800
And so that to me, like that's
the end.

1428
01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:57,760
Yeah, that should be the end I.
Haven't seen that, so I'll have

1429
01:12:57,800 --> 01:12:59,520
to see that and.
That one's really good.

1430
01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:02,480
And the problem with the the
problem with The Walking Dead

1431
01:13:02,480 --> 01:13:09,080
series is that the story itself
is compelling enough that

1432
01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:11,800
they're going to be able to get
away with, you could go on

1433
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:13,960
forever.
And here's how they set it up.

1434
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,240
And, and, and I don't want to
belabour this, don't watch The

1435
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:19,400
Walking Dead, Dead city, but
they set it up because in a

1436
01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:24,280
classic, you know, TV series
that has a catastrophic event.

1437
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:27,120
What do we all want to know?
We we all want to know why.

1438
01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:30,720
We all want to know what, OK,
what happened to humanity that

1439
01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:33,240
everybody turns into a zombie
now all of a sudden after you

1440
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:35,280
die?
And do we finally just

1441
01:13:35,400 --> 01:13:37,720
eradicate?
That right and in year 1 they

1442
01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:40,080
got close when they got down to
the CDC.

1443
01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:41,520
Yeah.
I actually thought, oh, it's

1444
01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:43,400
going in a direction here,
right.

1445
01:13:43,440 --> 01:13:45,000
And then it was.
No, it was.

1446
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:48,400
Then it became a study of what
happens to regular people when,

1447
01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:50,200
you know, there's a cataclysmic
event.

1448
01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:51,520
And that's fine.
Yeah.

1449
01:13:51,720 --> 01:13:54,440
But like, at some point here,
like.

1450
01:13:54,480 --> 01:13:57,400
You got to wrap up.
Could we get to the reason?

1451
01:13:57,840 --> 01:14:00,640
That's what I'm hoping.
I would be very, it would be

1452
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:04,720
very compelling to me if we got
Rick back and we could get to

1453
01:14:04,720 --> 01:14:07,280
some real writing again and
like, get to the like.

1454
01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:10,200
Somehow because of his
involvement in all of this

1455
01:14:10,200 --> 01:14:14,800
bullshit, he stumbles on 'cause
he stumbled on everything else

1456
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:17,120
he stumbles on.
Oh my God, here's a scientist

1457
01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:19,880
that can tell us what it is.
I think, I think the only way

1458
01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:23,480
you could move forward is you
gotta have Judith be the lead

1459
01:14:23,480 --> 01:14:25,880
character.
You're lying, you know you're.

1460
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:28,480
No, I'm serious.
Everybody loves everybody.

1461
01:14:28,480 --> 01:14:29,920
Loves Judith.
I I, I it.

1462
01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:32,440
Is true.
Judith is like the number one

1463
01:14:32,440 --> 01:14:34,160
character.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1464
01:14:34,240 --> 01:14:35,800
I mean.
Let the kids take over.

1465
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:38,280
Yeah, now that they're adults.
Right now, they'll be adults.

1466
01:14:38,320 --> 01:14:40,800
She's probably like 16.
You want it away, you know.

1467
01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:44,320
Yeah, I'm, I'm not a fan of
child actors, like just because

1468
01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:47,440
I don't think it, it's kind of
like having a really young Blues

1469
01:14:47,440 --> 01:14:48,840
player.
You know, you have an 18 year

1470
01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:51,600
old Blues prodigy.
Well, how many Blues has he had

1471
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:53,240
in his life?
You know what I mean?

1472
01:14:53,240 --> 01:14:56,960
So I'm kind of like on the
fringe about like big time life

1473
01:14:56,960 --> 01:14:58,600
events like that.
And then you bring in this

1474
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:01,280
younger character that's
supposed to be the whatever.

1475
01:15:01,640 --> 01:15:04,560
But you know, hey, listen, at
this point, after watching this

1476
01:15:04,640 --> 01:15:07,520
season, I'll try anything.
I'll try anything.

1477
01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:09,920
But you would have to.
Yeah, I think there are a lot of

1478
01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:11,800
kids that have been through some
bad things.

1479
01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:14,560
Yeah, you're right, by the way.
Yeah, Yeah, I know a few.

1480
01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:18,800
All right, HJHJ, we're going to
wind it up with you tonight.

1481
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:22,600
I'm going to make this quick.
HJ is watching something that

1482
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:25,080
the whole world the.
Whole world is watching.

1483
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:27,560
And I am not.
I've never watched it.

1484
01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:29,080
You've never watched any of
them?

1485
01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:31,200
Not a single one.
Well, you don't need to watch

1486
01:15:31,200 --> 01:15:34,920
season 5 then Part 2, Season 5,
right?

1487
01:15:35,120 --> 01:15:36,920
Because they released it in two
parts.

1488
01:15:37,080 --> 01:15:39,840
The first part came out around
Christmas and the last part came

1489
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:42,880
out the big New Year's Eve or
something like that.

1490
01:15:43,960 --> 01:15:46,600
I'm glad it's wrapped up, but
here's the problem with it being

1491
01:15:46,600 --> 01:15:49,520
wrapped up.
If there's going to be more, you

1492
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:51,160
know, that's that's the problem
with it here.

1493
01:15:51,280 --> 01:15:55,120
Here's the thing with Season 5,
they do finally get to the

1494
01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:57,200
upside down.
And if you've watched all the

1495
01:15:57,200 --> 01:15:59,240
other ones, I'm sure you've
already watched this.

1496
01:15:59,240 --> 01:16:02,240
And if you haven't, it's
mandatory that you have to watch

1497
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:05,080
Season 5 Part 2.
I mean, it's just you have to,

1498
01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:08,440
there's, there's no way that you
can watch this and say what

1499
01:16:08,440 --> 01:16:11,120
happens at the end, because at
the end there are some

1500
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:13,920
controversial things about how
it actually ended.

1501
01:16:13,920 --> 01:16:16,760
Did it really?
Did it really early and did Elle

1502
01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:19,000
really die or is she really
alive?

1503
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:23,360
You know, that sort of thing,
You know, and, and you know, a

1504
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:26,720
lot of people said it was very
emotional because of the way

1505
01:16:26,720 --> 01:16:29,520
they did it.
You know, these these kids have

1506
01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:31,840
now moved on.
They're graduating high school

1507
01:16:32,080 --> 01:16:33,520
now.
How they could be in high school

1508
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:36,400
for 10 years is beyond me
because this season started the

1509
01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:40,200
See, the series started July
15th, 2016.

1510
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:46,320
OK, it's 2025 for God's sakes.
Well, 2026 really New Year's

1511
01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:48,520
Day.
So I mean the wait a minute.

1512
01:16:48,520 --> 01:16:50,360
Wait a minute, wait a.
Minute 10 years.

1513
01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:54,000
New Year's Day changes the year,
yes.

1514
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:55,080
OK.
Every year, I mean.

1515
01:16:55,480 --> 01:16:57,480
He was making, he was making a
point of that, so.

1516
01:16:57,880 --> 01:16:58,240
Right.
Yeah.

1517
01:16:58,360 --> 01:17:04,520
So it really was 10 years and
and yeah, that's that's, that's

1518
01:17:04,520 --> 01:17:06,480
the reality.
How you can, you know, keep

1519
01:17:06,480 --> 01:17:10,040
these kids young, looking young
for 10 years?

1520
01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:12,360
You can't.
And it just was dumb.

1521
01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:15,760
Like they took the whole, they
took the whole childhood high

1522
01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:18,560
school thing out of the BIX
because they're all adults at

1523
01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:21,080
this point.
And I think there will be some

1524
01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:24,800
spinoffs.
I'm not looking forward to them.

1525
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:28,240
I probably will watch them so
that you don't have to.

1526
01:17:28,240 --> 01:17:29,960
And if they're good, I'll let
you know.

1527
01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:32,840
But Season 5, Stranger Things,
it is now over.

1528
01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:36,960
The Upside down is now the right
side up and everything is OK in

1529
01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:40,280
the world and in Indiana.
Did you?

1530
01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:42,320
I didn't really get it though.
Did you like it or not?

1531
01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:46,560
No, I didn't.
I didn't really like it.

1532
01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:47,440
Didn't like it?
No.

1533
01:17:47,480 --> 01:17:48,960
So what?
Like where do you think it

1534
01:17:48,960 --> 01:17:50,360
peaks?
Like was it?

1535
01:17:50,360 --> 01:17:52,160
Was it the best at like season
3?

1536
01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:55,520
Yeah, I think around there they
that's what they, they should

1537
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:58,560
they, they should have, they,
they just extended it for too

1538
01:17:58,560 --> 01:18:01,040
long.
And, and the stuff that they did

1539
01:18:01,040 --> 01:18:04,480
in the, in the first three
seasons, like the mirroring of

1540
01:18:04,480 --> 01:18:07,560
like 1980s themes was really
well done.

1541
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:12,120
But the way they did this upside
down was terrible.

1542
01:18:12,200 --> 01:18:15,480
It was absolutely awful.
I, I get it now with the upside

1543
01:18:15,480 --> 01:18:18,200
down is, but it's dumb.
It's, it's just dumb the way

1544
01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:21,080
they did it.
But the parallels with the 1980s

1545
01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:24,280
and the first ones, well, like
with ET and actually even in

1546
01:18:24,280 --> 01:18:28,680
some some cases, they brought it
back in, in Season 5 when they

1547
01:18:28,680 --> 01:18:32,520
killed this big spider thing.
It had some Die Hard themes to

1548
01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:34,560
it where like things were
exploding and there were

1549
01:18:34,720 --> 01:18:37,480
helicopters and stuff, stuff
like that, you know, like stuff

1550
01:18:37,480 --> 01:18:40,880
that happened in Die Hard.
But it's really obscure.

1551
01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:44,480
You'd have to really stretch to
say, yeah, that was really well

1552
01:18:44,480 --> 01:18:47,360
done because I didn't think it
was OK too, too long of a

1553
01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:50,440
series, as long as The Walking.
Are we on fire?

1554
01:18:50,440 --> 01:18:53,480
I was I was just trying to send
a a smoke signal.

1555
01:18:56,040 --> 01:18:57,560
Have the Pittsburgh Pirates
started?

1556
01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:00,720
No, we're not going to talk
about it.

1557
01:19:03,400 --> 01:19:04,960
I got to make that louder.
All right?

1558
01:19:06,080 --> 01:19:09,440
I know that's what I'm doing.
OK, guys, listen, I want to
