DO OR DIE FOR THE STEELERS?

1
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:07,480
This is the Sports Porch Black
and Gold with your hosts, the

2
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:14,080
technical director, the Grand
Swabini and Hockey Jesus.

3
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,720
Come on Pittsburgh, let's show a
little.

4
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:22,280
Steelers, Penguins and Pirates

5
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:34,760
Black and Gold starts now.
There.

6
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:36,760
We are.
Hey, we're here.

7
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,200
You know we're there.
Nice.

8
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,520
And small.
Oh, yeah, there we go.

9
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:42,880
The sport.
Sports, black and gold.

10
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,640
It starts now.
And it would not start in any

11
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,640
other way other than technical
difficulties created by yours

12
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,080
truly.
But I'm this is what I'm going

13
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:53,320
to I'm going to tell you right
now.

14
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,440
It's not my fault.
These guys here, they are

15
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,520
relentless before the show
started.

16
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,760
But before I tell you.
Why hey.

17
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:01,960
Hey, hey, it's a Monday night
tonight in Pittsburgh.

18
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,040
Listen, I'm the technical
director.

19
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,280
That guy right there, he's
across from me in the studios.

20
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,040
That is the grand Schwabini and
over here down here that is

21
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,760
hockey Jesus.
We're live on YouTube, we're

22
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,320
live on X, we're live.
We're actually live on Facebook

23
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:18,400
tonight because I figured I'd.
Why the hell not?

24
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:23,600
Yeah, well, I mean our reels are
getting lots of play. 400,000

25
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:24,840
views in the last.
Five.

26
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,600
That's a drop in the bucket from
where we're.

27
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,400
Going to be I told you when
you're playing.

28
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,400
You're right.
So anyway, we are here it is

29
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,440
Monday night, the Steelers are
playing.

30
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,320
We got Monday Night Football on
the television in the studio.

I'm going to drop the the

00:01:43,960 --> 00:01:48,880
podcast after the show on
Spotify, iHeartRadio, Apple,

34
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,040
whatever.
Listen guys, I'm off my game a

35
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,200
little bit tonight.
I, I got a call from my I

36
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,640
promised my daughter I would do
this.

37
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,240
Actually, I got a call from my
daughter.

38
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,160
She's 21.
Shout out Carly.

39
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:02,640
Yeah, no.
What's Celia?

40
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,920
Yeah, Celia.
Really close to me, Mark, you're

41
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,680
really close to me.
Cecilia.

42
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,160
Yeah, Cecilia.
Cecilia.

43
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,040
I got a call from my daughter
Cecilia.

44
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:13,400
All right?
These people are.

45
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,560
Getting telling you that I'm in
love.

46
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,320
That's my daughter you're
singing about.

47
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:23,680
Anyway, so she had a flat tire,
her first flat tire, but the way

48
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,920
she did it is she went to get
air in the tire at a get go and

49
00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:34,600
the pump wasn't working and she
ripped the mechanism out of the

50
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,120
little stem and ripped the stem
and then the tire just went

51
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,920
completely flat so.
That's that's a really pathetic

52
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:44,720
way to get a flat tire.
That's actually.

53
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,000
Super green strength, the stem
right out of the tire.

54
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,240
But she was very concerned that
she would be judged by that.

55
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,720
And you just judged.
I've never heard of that.

56
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,480
I mean.
It's either by it's usually.

57
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,040
Just a nail I got.
Some nail or a glass?

58
00:02:59,040 --> 00:02:59,880
Neither.
Have I?

59
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,480
Neither have I, anyway.
Needless to say, she was

60
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,640
panicked.
So I rush out in in the we're

61
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:08,520
down to 1 car, 'cause one's in
the shop.

62
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,720
My wife has an appointment.
I rush out.

63
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,200
I I in the freezing cold here in
Pittsburgh.

64
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,120
I change her tire.
Look, I don't need a medal.

65
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,920
I don't need.
Father of the Year award goes to

66
00:03:18,920 --> 00:03:20,440
No.
No, no, no, no, no.

67
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,280
I want to give you.
I want to give you, I got

68
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,680
permission to say this.
I want to give you her reaction.

69
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,720
I said, how do you feel now that
now that we've gotten this all

70
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,880
done for you?
And she went wow.

71
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,080
And that was it.
Yeah, that's all I got.

72
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,480
I got a wow.
That's that's a positive word.

73
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,800
Yeah, wow's better than.
Positive word.

74
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,680
It took long enough.
Well, I'm not really sure how to

75
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,160
interpret this.
Wow.

76
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,920
And that's for another show.
But then I had to rush back here

77
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,400
and set up this show.
Man, the weather sucks here.

78
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,560
But I'm telling you, that's good
for the Steelers, and that's why

79
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,240
we're going to talk about.
Where do you rank this in your

80
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:05,120
top five best father moments?
Easily number one or two.

81
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:09,920
There you go.
Congratulations.

82
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,760
Is that you fucking around with
shit over?

83
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,120
There somebody, somebody had to
applaud for you.

84
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,279
Dropped an F bomb.
Schwaber's worried that you know

85
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,440
ever all the power.
Well, that's what happens when

86
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,560
you get excited.
You need to calm down a little

87
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,040
bit.
There's a football game tonight.

88
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,280
I know, I know.
And it's Monday night in, in,

89
00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:28,480
in, in Pittsburgh.
And what are we going to do?

90
00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:31,200
Well, first we're going to talk
about that.

91
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,320
We're going to do our normal
football predictions, our porch

92
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,480
picks.
We got some what we're watching.

93
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,360
We're going to try to blast
through this a little quicker

94
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,480
than usual tonight because the
game starts at 8:15 and then

95
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,600
boy, are you in for a treat
because we're going to do the

96
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:48,200
post game live right after and
that's always fun.

97
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,960
I mean, listen, I want the
Steelers to win, but if they

98
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,200
lose and they lose in some sort
of controversial way, I mean,

99
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,680
there's what, what more fun can
you have than hanging out with

100
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,440
Hockey Jesus after?
The emotion will be strong.

101
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,560
I don't know, I think I'm out of
emotion after those Penguin

102
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,320
games this weekend.
Yeah.

103
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,320
Yeah, and we'll get to that.
Later, to say the least, that's.

104
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,440
Right.
We'll get to that a little bit.

105
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,800
Later, to say the least.
You, you, you got that right.

106
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,680
So anyway, we're going to do
that right now.

107
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:19,840
Monday night in Pittsburgh.
Mike Tomlin hasn't lost.

108
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:21,800
Is that right?
Is that right?

109
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,480
22 straight.
Yeah, but he has lost once his

110
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:26,720
first one.
Oh, really?

111
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,040
Yeah.
OK, OK, so right, I was wrong

112
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,040
about 22 straight.
I think that's actually bad.

113
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,240
I don't.
Know I mean all the streaks are

114
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,000
meant that.
Right, right.

115
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,600
Sure.
Sure, you.

116
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,640
Know it's like you.
You've got the Tomlin streak.

117
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,720
I'm sure you've got some sort of
streak where Miami never wins in

118
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,200
freezing weather.
No to a specifically.

119
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:51,080
To a specifically has never won
below 30° or something right?

120
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,800
Right.
Who came up with 40°?

121
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,360
What like he, He, I?
Think his coldest game he ever

122
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,560
played in was like like 35 or
something like.

123
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,120
That he must have won a game and
it was 41°.

124
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,800
Think about it.
He played, he played it.

125
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,080
He played in Hawaii and then he
played for Alabama.

126
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,200
I mean, could it get any warmer
between?

127
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,000
Those two, But Alabama could go
on the road and play a team up

128
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,560
north.
Well, he did play in a game of

129
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,640
snow his, I think his freshman.
Year Alabama, but.

130
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,600
He's never played in snow in the
NFL.

131
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,680
Well, I mean, technically
nobody's ever won a game where

132
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,600
the actual temperature was -50.
That's not true.

133
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,360
He played in snow in in Buffalo
one year and he actually threw

134
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:31,360
for over 300.
Yards.

135
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:32,160
That's right.
But he lost.

136
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,080
But he lost.
Yeah, but they lost.

137
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,760
Yeah, they still lost.
Yeah, yeah.

138
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,280
So.
That that's for you, Pat,

139
00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:39,640
because I know you were going to
Fact Check me on that, Pat.

140
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,880
How about Pat off track and I
yesterday having a go it alone

141
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,800
in our group text because
Schwaber was too busy focused

142
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,800
on, you know, how bad it was
going to be for the Eagles if

143
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:57,960
they lost to Kenny Pickett and
Steve was at some sort of

144
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:02,800
birthday party with his family.
Yeah, you know when your dad

145
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,880
turns 80, you throw him a
birthday party.

146
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,280
There you go.
Oh, you can't.

147
00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:09,120
You can't miss that one, No?
But you couldn't make it like a

148
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,160
birthday breakfast like, you
know.

149
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,640
But my dad has lots of friends.
Bob Evans, Yeah.

150
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,080
They don't strike me as the
brunch type family.

151
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:18,800
No, we're.
Not.

152
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,440
Brunch.
We have a full-fledged party

153
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,440
with fried chicken and Rigatoni,
you know, and then chicken

154
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:27,760
parmesan.
I mean, right?

155
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,880
Right.
We I'm surprised we didn't have

156
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,480
pierogies to be honest.
With you.

157
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,840
Maybe some Buffalo chicken dip
burn in there.

158
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,680
No, definitely cookies and cake.
They're way too far out in the

159
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,840
sticks to make something as
sophisticated as Buffalo chicken

160
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,560
dip yellow.
Cake cake with chocolate icing.

161
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,240
Actually it was vanilla cake
with buttercream icing.

162
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,640
It was good.
Too much vanilla.

163
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:51,840
You got to do the.
Chocolate cream?

164
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,240
No, there it was.
Half chocolate, half vanilla.

165
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:55,560
Of course you got to have some
chocolate.

166
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,040
OK, OK.
Same with the same with the

167
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,440
cupcakes I should have brought
you guys.

168
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,640
Mike Lawrence when I was driving
over here tonight, it's 19°.

169
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,680
But the wind chill is like -5.
Feels like -5.

170
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,720
It's pretty.
It's pretty darn cold here.

171
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,360
It's been cold here all day too,
so it's not like it warmed up at

172
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:14,920
all.
So who?

173
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,640
Is that wearing ice coat?
I don't.

174
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,440
Know, but he's got a :) on his
hat.

175
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,640
He must be an Eaton.
Party, are we, are we going to

176
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,520
break down this game or are we
just going to be you?

177
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,000
Know look, we're excited.
It's a Monday night.

178
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,280
OK, so here here's how I'll lay
it out.

179
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,679
OK, the the excitement is
palpable.

180
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,080
It had very little time for prep
tonight because of the

181
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:42,720
aforementioned triple AI had to,
you know, step in for and Monday

182
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,960
Night Football in the burg.
It's cold.

183
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,000
We got the crew down here in the
Monroeville basement.

184
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,960
We got the post game show we're
going to do after a Steelers

185
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,200
victory.
Let's hope the Steelers for all

186
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,040
intents and purposes, the ups
and downs of this season.

187
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,680
I mean, you know, I I know where
hockey Jesus is coming from.

188
00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:02,200
If you, you know, watching us
going back to our previous

189
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:07,120
shows, catching the pod, you
know that even though HJ, you

190
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:11,240
know, it's palpable.
Even though HJ is very critical

191
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,320
of the organization and the
direction they're in, like all

192
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,720
of us, he still holds out hope
because he's that he's that kind

193
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,760
of fan.
Like, OK, let's just get through

194
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,440
this game and.
You may as well.

195
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,520
We can make the playoffs, so.
So what's the?

196
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:28,040
Alternative.
I mean, you're this is 14 and

197
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,560
you're leading the division.
You have to have a little bit of

198
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:33,040
hope about that.
This is a must win game.

199
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,760
Yeah, it's an absolute must win.
Game, I think it is.

200
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,320
There are no more, honestly.
Well, if, if, if they.

201
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,240
The last game when they're tied
is going to be a must.

202
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,240
Win game if well well you're.
Whoever you know, whoever has to

203
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,400
win the last game.
If they're within a game of of

204
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,680
Baltimore, yes, you're right.
But what I'm what I'm getting at

205
00:09:51,680 --> 00:09:57,800
is the fact that it's a must win
game if you want to be able to

206
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:03,120
not have to play as hard as you
frigging can into the playoffs

207
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,360
and then go into the playoffs.
You know what?

208
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,080
I'm, you know what I'm saying?
If you want.

209
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,320
To win before the last week you
want to.

210
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,240
It's a must win game.
Right, you want to.

211
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,240
Gain momentum.
You want to keep winning the

212
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,160
games that you're playing at the
end of the.

213
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,440
Street Look, there's two sides
to this story all the time.

214
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:23,960
So I see it as a must win game.
I what I'm praying that I don't

215
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:29,720
see is a regression back to the
ultra conservative offense that

216
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:34,680
they played prior to last week,
which really wasn't even that

217
00:10:34,680 --> 00:10:37,720
much crazy.
It was just a little more open

218
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,800
down the field for them.
I'm I'm hoping that the signal

219
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,800
that they got from Rodgers,
which I fully believe this was

220
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,800
driven by Aaron Rodgers last
week's game plan.

221
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:53,600
I fully believe that, he said.
I need to be able to go deep, I

222
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,680
need to be able to change it to
these plays.

223
00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:59,400
I need to have these two guys in
because they're experienced, not

224
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,520
because feeling or MVS are gonna
light up any stat boards 'cause

225
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,840
we all know they're not.
But they understand, they

226
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,840
understand assignments, they
understand roots.

227
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:15,080
And I don't think the Steelers
wide receivers that they have

228
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,440
have had anybody to to, you
know, to their credit, have had

229
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,360
anybody who's been able to
really, truly set an example for

230
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,240
them the first couple years they
were in the league.

231
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,120
So they're just not ready, you
know.

232
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,880
Do I, I, I, I, I, you can't say
anything about Roman Wilson.

233
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,400
For the people that say he
should be in, he should be.

234
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,160
No.
Well, well, they've seen nothing

235
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,840
in practice.
I've seen nothing in the game

236
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,960
that says he's better than
anybody else out there on the

237
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,240
field at all.
He shouldn't be in, you know.

238
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,040
But he hasn't had a chance.
And now they have some veterans.

239
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,480
I I disagree with you hasn't had
a chance though.

240
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:52,360
You know the you know, you know
the good players rise to the top

241
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,920
and also coaching can help a
player develop as well.

242
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,160
But the reality, the reality is
Aaron Rodgers just doesn't like

243
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:00,360
him.
He doesn't like the way he runs

244
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,360
patterns.
He's not where he thinks he

245
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,600
should be.
So he doesn't even look his way.

246
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,280
So why should he even be on the
field if that's going to be the

247
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,360
case?
Whether it's Rodger's fault or

248
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,480
Roman Wilson's fault, it doesn't
matter at this point.

249
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,040
If there's no, if there's no
synergy between the two, the two

250
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,440
should not be on the field
together.

251
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,840
Just it's a, it's a wasted, it's
a wasted position on the on the

252
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,240
field.
You should just throw out MVS.

253
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,800
If that's who he feels more
comfortable with, whether that

254
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,840
makes sense or not, at least
he's a target he'll throw to.

255
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,400
Well, why haven't we talked
about the big story this week?

256
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,360
Oh yeah, TJ, What?
Yeah, the needling.

257
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,400
The needling like what you were
doing to me.

258
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,080
Before the show.
A little bit.

259
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,280
Only he wasn't really.
Now I I remember at one point in

260
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,440
time, yes, he was hockey.
Jesus was very critical of the

261
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,920
Steelers for their medical
staff.

262
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,960
Yes, he was and.
I think this fits into that.

263
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,240
Category.
Two years ago, I was.

264
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,160
Going to say beginning of last
year, yeah.

265
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,760
This fits into that category.
I mean, I know it's it's sort of

266
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,440
happened one other time with
Tyrod Taylor, right?

267
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,680
But like, what the hell is
wrong?

268
00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:09,040
I mean, like you puncture his
lung.

269
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,440
So maybe we ought to not do the
needling.

270
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,960
Well, here's, you know, here's
the thing that I think as as

271
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:22,560
amateur basement dwelling
football analysts, I think this

272
00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:24,640
is this is the point that I'd
like to make.

273
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:30,000
Isn't it crazy that this is like
a procedure that is known and a

274
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,280
lot of people do in the NFL?
Like it's not just like TJ Watt

275
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,520
does it or Tyrod Taylor were the
only people ever to do it.

276
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,280
They do this all the time to try
and stay healthy to keep that

277
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,480
that deep tissue from, you know,
you know, getting too tight, you

278
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,920
know, to keep loose and so it
doesn't tear a muscle or

279
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,960
something.
That's nuts.

280
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,440
That's absolutely nuts.
You're telling me that they have

281
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,800
to take a needle and stick it
into your packs like however

282
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,800
many times just to soften up the
the muscle?

283
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,200
This to me says just let them
use steroids.

284
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,880
My God.
I mean, if you got to take a

285
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:13,080
needle and a needle is OK to
stick into your, your packs

286
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:17,480
close enough to your lung that
if it just goes a little bit too

287
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,360
far, you're going to puncture
the lung and literally cause

288
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:25,040
your lung to deflate and, you
know, maybe die from that's

289
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,000
ridiculous.
Just let these guys take

290
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,920
steroids if that's what it takes
for them to recover, if you want

291
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:34,560
them on the field, right?
A steroid is, is, is a medical

292
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,880
thing that you can take now, you
can abuse it.

293
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,480
Don't get me wrong.
But you.

294
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,120
Can't draw the line between the
two, but who cares?

295
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,400
I mean, you're allowing them to
stick needles into their bodies

296
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,000
instead.
Honestly, it's a dumb thing to

297
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,880
do to me, if you're, if you're a
star player that have to do

298
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,680
this, I get it.
You want to stay on the field

299
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,960
and you'll do whatever it takes,
but that's just crazy.

300
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,760
And honestly, he's probably got
a good lawsuit against the

301
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,160
against the Steelers when it
comes to this.

302
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,080
I'm sure I'm sure he's going to
sue, sue them for millions of

303
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,840
dollars.
But, but, but, I mean, it

304
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,720
doesn't really matter because
you'd rather have them on the

305
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,680
field tonight.
You would absolutely rather have

306
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,320
them on the field tonight.
And, and trying to keep a chain

307
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,000
on the inside becomes a lot more
difficult now with TJ Watt out

308
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,920
of the lineup.
And that's where they make their

309
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,960
living, you know, getting to the
outside.

310
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:30,200
One thing about TJ, he's good at
pushing guys back in, you know,

311
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,240
and they're going to miss that
tonight.

312
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:38,320
I I'm I'm sure of it.
I think we're going to see,

313
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,200
well, you know, this also goes
back to what we were talking

314
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,280
about in the beginning. 22
game-winning streak or is it 21?

315
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:53,080
It's yeah, it's 21 or 21.
It's over. 20 anyway, they also

316
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,160
are one in 11 without TJ Watt,
right?

317
00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:02,840
And, but most of that one in 11
I think happened before Nick

318
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:07,360
Herbig kind of came.
Burst on the scene.

319
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,720
Yeah, yeah.
Well, came of age because I

320
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,720
don't, Yeah.
T JS been healthy relatively

321
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,320
healthy in the last two years.
Yeah.

322
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,160
So it's kind of like.
Well, it's all been with bad.

323
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,800
Quarterbacks, right and it and
it's all kind of like, you know,

324
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:25,720
past performance is not
indicative of future results.

325
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:30,480
I'm not sure that, you know,
this game should be looked at

326
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,760
one in which TJ Watt is out.
Uh oh, they got a problem.

327
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,240
I think this is Nick Herbig
saying here's my real

328
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,920
opportunity.
Yeah, let's look at that more

329
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,120
than we look at TJ Watt not
being in the lineup.

330
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,080
Jack Sawyer is going to play a
lot too.

331
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:45,760
You know he's got something to
prove.

332
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,200
And, and to be honest with you,
I, I, I, my jury's out on him.

333
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,680
I know there's a lot of people I
love, You know, I love the

334
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:59,280
Pittsburgh Ganzers who are so
dedicated to anybody, anybody

335
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,320
the Steelers draft and like,
there's a contingent out there

336
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,560
they love Jack Sawyer and I get
it.

337
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,680
He he seems like a great guy's
great physique.

338
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:08,720
They.
Like his name?

339
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,200
Let's face it.
Well, and they also.

340
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:15,359
Sawyer mean, mean right.
So no, that's Jack.

341
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,280
So, but you guys understand, you
guys understand where I'm coming

342
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,720
from though, You know, they get
attached to something like that.

343
00:17:23,079 --> 00:17:27,720
And look, I, I actually, when
they drafted him, I liked the

344
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,280
draft pick.
I would The jury is out.

345
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,880
I like, I like the draft pick.
Yeah, I I haven't seen enough of

346
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,000
him yet to some sort of
replacement.

347
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,000
I don't feel like we've seen
enough yet to make a judgement

348
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,800
on him personally.
No, because he doesn't play

349
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,000
enough, but he'll he'll get to
play a lot tonight.

350
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,680
So let's see if he has he's got
something to prove.

351
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,920
Let's see if he can prove it
against Miami.

352
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,320
A-Team, if they if they beat
them, they get knocked out of

353
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,800
the playoff race.
I mean, that's what you want to

354
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,160
do.
You want to knock people out of

355
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,000
the playoff race, Let's see if
a, you know a second year player

356
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,720
can do it.
And we'll find out.

357
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,640
Yeah, I, I mean, we're going to
find out because he's going to

358
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:10,040
play a lot more than he used to
as as far as Derek Harmon not

359
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:11,880
being in.
That's a big problem.

360
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:18,040
I think, but you know, show me
the you know, the analysis on

361
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:22,840
why it is that him coming back
is a big impact to the run

362
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,280
defense.
Well, because 24th anyway.

363
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:30,560
Because Cam Cam can come out and
be more more fresh in the third

364
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,720
and fourth quarter.
That's why that's the only

365
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,800
reason.
No, I can't give you statistics

366
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:39,040
that show that he does it, but
just if you think about it

367
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,640
logically, if Cam is in for less
plays, he'll be able to play

368
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,720
better long, right?
Otherwise, I think he'll fade in

369
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,920
the second-half and that's
probably what will happen unless

370
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,160
Benson has, you know, Benson has
a good game.

371
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,240
Yeah.
And I, I, I understand that.

372
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,760
I still.
You know, I'll have to play ya

373
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,280
black.
Ya a black.

374
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,600
YA black.
YA title Black, yeah.

375
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:05,880
Yeah.
So as far as the defensive side

376
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,920
of the ball goes, I think it's
been analyzed 100 million times

377
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,360
this week, at least on one radio
station.

378
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,920
And, you know, they have to stop
the run.

379
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,320
You know, that's what they have
to do.

380
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,120
That's what everybody's saying.
Are they going to do it?

381
00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:24,280
I don't know.
I mean, I, I really think the

382
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:25,560
biggest.
They're not going to stop the

383
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:26,840
run.
They haven't been able to stop

384
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,760
the run all year, right?
Which is why I'm seeing.

385
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:33,040
Miami's one of the best running
team in They just have to stop

386
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:38,200
the long runs the the 6570 yard
runs for touchdowns.

387
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,800
And I I let.
Them give up five yards at a

388
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,800
time.
So, you know, we can get quick

389
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,400
touchdowns on long passes
because supposedly their

390
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,760
defensive backfield's awful.
So that's what I think we need

391
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,480
to do tonight.
I think, you know, DK needs to

392
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,560
show that he can have another
150 yard game and you know,

393
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,400
maybe catch 2 touchdowns this
time.

394
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:01,520
I.
I If you were at a Steelers

395
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,680
game, would you want Rodger
Goodell to sign something for

396
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,800
you?
Absolutely not, no, unless it

397
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,880
was a contract.
I wouldn't either.

398
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,240
What the hell would he he's?
He's got a lot of money.

399
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,760
If I could forge his forge his
name on the contract that says I

400
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,560
get paid, you know, $2,000,000,
yes, that's what I would want

401
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,200
is.
Well, that would never happen

402
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,080
now that you've admitted you
could do it or you would do it.

403
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,160
I hate, I hate, this is what I
hate about us being live.

404
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,400
All these good ideas get put out
there and now somebody else is

405
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,120
going to use it.
Forging Roger Goodell's name so

406
00:20:33,120 --> 00:20:36,520
you get $2,000,000.
I mean he wouldn't even miss

407
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,800
$2,000,000 in what he gets, what
the money he's in charge.

408
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:44,320
I don't even think that it would
be worth anything, maybe $0.02.

409
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,680
Right.
Oh yeah, his signature is not

410
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,200
worth any.
Yeah, I mean, think about.

411
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,680
It unless it's on a contract.
Basically all all that is now is

412
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:57,080
like, you know, some distant Ant
50 years from now is going to

413
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,600
inherit this stupid signature
amongst a whole bunch of other

414
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,320
stupid things.
And she's going to have to go to

415
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,160
like a sports memorabilia show.
And she's going to be like,

416
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,920
yeah, this is a legitimate
Rodger Goodell autograph.

417
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,560
And the guy just going to be
like, he was, he was a

418
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,720
commissioner from like, you
know, 40 years ago.

419
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,720
I mean made me give you give you
give me a buck.

420
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,600
Breaking news on the sports
porch.

421
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:32,760
Roger Goodell's signature is
worth $1.00. $1.00 How many

422
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:38,400
years from now?
I think the biggest issue in

423
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,480
this game for the Dolphins is
going to be the weather.

424
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,040
I, I, I.
That's why I think the Steelers

425
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,720
win this game.
I think they win because Miami

426
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:53,840
does not play well in the cold.
And I, I, I think that it's

427
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,920
going to be Pierre in a close
game.

428
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:57,600
That's not good, Yeah.
Yeah.

429
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,680
Losing active Pierre James
Pierre.

430
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,480
James Pierre Yeah, that hurts
too.

431
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,800
I would agree with you there,
Chris.

432
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:10,680
I definitely think that, you
know, the weather is probably

433
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,720
the biggest barrier to them
having success.

434
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,320
I I always still think that
that's just the stupidest thing

435
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,440
though, because you know, when
you, when you put together a,

436
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,400
you know, a football team of 53
guys, you know, you have to

437
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,680
think at least 25 of them played
in like a cold weather climate,

438
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,640
like, you know what I mean?
Most of.

439
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,760
Them, you know.
Probably 45.

440
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,640
Right.
So it's kind of like, what does

441
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,680
that even mean?
But at at the same time, though,

442
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,800
I, you're probably right.
I mean, like the, the, the way I

443
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,360
to me, if the Steelers win this
game, I have a feeling they'll

444
00:22:44,360 --> 00:22:46,800
win it kind of ugly.
I think they'll get some

445
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:52,080
turnover, some fumbles, you
know, and and you know, then all

446
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,080
of a sudden if they get
themselves a lead that's the

447
00:22:55,120 --> 00:22:57,840
important, then it's going to
look like 2 is really freezing

448
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,280
cold back there.
Yeah, I think that is the

449
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,600
important thing.
They can't let Miami come out

450
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,320
and take the lead.
You don't feel that, At least I

451
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,960
don't feel that 2 is the guy who
can come back from a 10/10 point

452
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,320
deficit and you know, single
digit weather to beat the

453
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,160
Steelers at home on Monday
night.

454
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,560
It just doesn't doesn't sound
like that makes sense.

455
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,240
Could be wrong, absolutely could
be wrong on that.

456
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,880
But it's just, that's the,
that's where my thinking is

457
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:26,600
going into this game.
That, that, that, that.

458
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,360
That's all I got for.
That I mean, 22 comes.

459
00:23:29,360 --> 00:23:31,400
Far as like the match up in the
defense but.

460
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,200
I mean that throughout his
career, I guess you could say.

461
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,680
I mean, 2 has come up pretty
small in the NFL.

462
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,520
You know, he really has, yeah.
Yeah, because he's a pocket

463
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,440
passer.
You know, pocket passers, unless

464
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,880
you're excellent at what you do.
Very accurate.

465
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,720
They're they don't, they don't
exist anymore.

466
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,160
You got to be a running
quarterback in today's league,

467
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,440
whether you like it or not.
And he could be a running

468
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,560
quarterback if he didn't get his
head bashed inside.

469
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,160
Well, that's that's the problem,
right?

470
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,760
That's absolutely the problem.
One he's one hit away from

471
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,240
retirement.
Right and literally head bashed

472
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:04,440
in.
I mean for real.

473
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:10,720
Miami has 281 points on the
season, 5 more than The Jets,

474
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,000
and they have the double the
victories.

475
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,640
They've only given up though,
296 on defense.

476
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:27,200
They are second in the AFC East.
So let's flip this to talking

477
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,160
about the offense and what we
have to see, or what we think

478
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,560
we're going to see or what we're
afraid we're going to see.

479
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,800
The offense of the Steelers,
yeah.

480
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,520
God, what a boring subject.
I know I think of a more boring

481
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,280
subject.
Look, man, this is the sports

482
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,280
sports black and golden.

You'll know when we're live,
which is every single Monday

486
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,520
night at 7:00 PM and after every
Steelers game and HJ after every

487
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:03,240
Penguins hockey game.
So yeah, I mean, yes, the

488
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,880
offense is boring.
Their defense is not that bad,

489
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,160
you know?
So what do we got to do here?

490
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,720
I mean, here's the thing.
Score more than that.

491
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,200
Right, right.
The bottom line is we could come

492
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,400
on every week during football
season and we can make that

493
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,840
prediction much like I make
predictions they're.

494
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,640
Pretty good at that prediction.
So you're saying if the Steelers

495
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:30,320
score more points, they'll win?
Yeah, and if they score less,

496
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,520
they'll lose.
Absolutely.

497
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,880
There you go.
And if they score the same, it's

498
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,080
a tie.
Oh my God.

499
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,520
Unless there's overtime and you
score in overtime second.

500
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,480
Yeah, well, it could also end a
tie in as a tie in every time

501
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,560
anyway anyway.
Oh my God.

502
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,360
So yeah, of course, you know,
the, the, the.

503
00:25:51,360 --> 00:25:54,800
Washington is active.
He has been cleared from

504
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,600
concussion protocol.
They're going to need him.

505
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,080
He he is the difference maker.
The difference, yeah, every time

506
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,920
they throw it to him is a time
they don't throw it to Friarman.

507
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:08,280
Artie Smith will be afraid to be
aggressive as usual, says Mike

508
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:09,920
Lawrence on YouTube.
Thanks for being here again,

509
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:11,000
buddy.
For sure.

510
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,120
I, you know, that's the thing.
I think last week after that

511
00:26:14,120 --> 00:26:18,320
when, when we said it looked
like, you know, they, they kind

512
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,920
of open things up.
I mean, if, if you're any other

513
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,160
team, it's a pathetic attempt at
an open offense, But they, they

514
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,440
threw down the field more over
the middle a little bit, not a

515
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,640
whole lot.
And you know, the the point is

516
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,440
that, you know, the, the
everybody wants to talk about

517
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,560
getting the run game going.
Listen, guys, you know, I know a

518
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,520
couple years ago I said I Jalen
Warren would make the team and I

519
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,240
thought he was a better back
than Naji.

520
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,440
And it turns out I don't know if
he was a better back than Naji,

521
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,400
but the Steelers liked him more
than Naji.

522
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,400
And then they go out and they
get gained.

523
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,960
Well, and the draft is Caleb
Johnson, who hasn't.

524
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:53,920
I mean, I get it.
We've talked about the vets

525
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,160
play.
That's Tomlin's deal all the

526
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,440
time.
But like, OK, the run games got

527
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,520
to get going.
What run game?

528
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,960
They don't have real running
backs.

529
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,280
I mean, you know, all due
respect, they're real running

530
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:08,760
backs.
Well, their offensive line is

531
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,840
totally beat up now too.
Right.

532
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,240
And and they haven't really had
a run game all year.

533
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,280
I mean, they they have, but they
haven't, but they have but they

534
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:21,400
haven't.
And look at what point are you

535
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,400
going to put Caleb Johnson in
there and and give him a shot

536
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,520
because he's the guy that could
change the direction possibly.

537
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,360
I mean, everybody said he had a
burst of speed.

538
00:27:32,360 --> 00:27:36,040
There was some guy that watched
him at the draft that followed

539
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,160
that writes about the Steelers
who literally said at the draft,

540
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,960
and I heard this on the radio,
credit to 93.7 the fan.

541
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,520
I was listening to some dude
there that some guests who

542
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:50,400
literally said in his article,
you could feel the rush of the

543
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,920
air as Caleb Johnson ran by,
like he was so impressed with

544
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,440
his speed.
And I get it, it's the combine,

545
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,320
you know what I mean?
But look, man, you have no

546
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,440
running game.
You have your receivers.

547
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,640
You have no #2 receiver.
You go out, you start throwing

548
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,680
deep to Metcalf, you bring along
two guys that Rogers probably

549
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,560
pushed for.
You made a big change in the

550
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,360
receiver room, right?
Make a little change in the

551
00:28:16,360 --> 00:28:18,080
linebacking room.
You don't have to go out and get

552
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,800
somebody.
Just let Caleb Johnson carry the

553
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,320
load on 1st and 2nd down.
See what happens when he gets

554
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,200
going.
Caleb Johnson's a running back.

555
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,400
He's a running back, not a.
Linebacker, not a linebacker.

556
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:29,920
Oh, did I say?
Oh, you.

557
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,320
Said you said change the
linebacker.

558
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,000
Change the linebacker.
My apology.

559
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,280
That's OK, you're off your game
tonight.

560
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:35,520
Change the.
We're here to help.

561
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,120
That's right.
We're we're just setting the

562
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:38,920
record straight.
We know what you were saying.

563
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:40,040
You.
Know you know what I'm.

564
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,760
Saying the reality is, is
they're not going to do that.

565
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,600
I mean, Jalen Warren's not
really been healthy this year

566
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,800
and you haven't seen Caleb
Johnson step up.

567
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,880
What you've seen is just more of
#14 Kenny Gain.

568
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,000
Kenny G baby.
That's it.

569
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,640
That's, that's that was, that's
their reaction to it.

570
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,080
So you know that they're not
going to play him.

571
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,960
They're saving him for next year
or something like that.

572
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,400
His next coach of the Steelers?
It's really, it's really mind

573
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,680
boggling when they do that and
they but they do it every year.

574
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,240
So actually it's not that mind
boggling, but it's very

575
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,720
frustrating to watch them take a
high draft pick and then just

576
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,800
sit him all season.
He's not he's not learning

577
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,680
anything by being on the
sidelines.

578
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,480
If anything, he's learning that
he can't be a kick returner

579
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,600
because we're going back to the
second game of the season

580
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,320
against Seattle and he's really
been paying for that ever since.

581
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,840
And it's just dumb that, but
that's what that's that's the

582
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,080
unfortunate side of the Steelers
organization.

583
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,400
They they they favor their old
guys over the young guys.

584
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,920
And no matter maybe, maybe this
young guy is not talented.

585
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,880
Maybe they already have assessed
him and said he's not talented.

586
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,560
That's why he's not playing.
And and they just made another

587
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:56,040
boneheaded pick in the draft.
That's absolutely possible.

588
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,680
But the problem is, is we won't
know that this year.

589
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,520
OK, guys.
Listen, we want to try to get

590
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,560
everybody out of here by game
time.

598

Pick time.
We're going to do.

599
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,000
We're going.
To do pics, but here's what I

600
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,200
here's what I want to do.
I want to do a little over under

601
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,600
so when we come back on the post
game show, we can compare and

602
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,560
I'm going to write it down here.
Interesting.

603
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:35,960
OK.
So.

604
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,160
Grant And we'll make it very
simple.

605
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:42,480
I'll just pull up an example and
Roman Wilson isn't in, so it

606
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:47,200
doesn't give you any ideas.
Roman Wilson over under 5 1/2

607
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,640
catches or 20 1/2 yards under.
Yeah.

608
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,040
So well, yeah, way under.
So you should make.

609
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,000
Up make up the first one.
You want me to give a?

610
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:58,520
Yeah, just give.
An over, under and then we'll

611
00:30:58,520 --> 00:30:59,480
pick.
OK.

612
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:08,240
Kenny Gainwell over under 40
rushing guards.

613
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:14,120
That's a easy one.
That would be under OK.

614
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:20,080
Gainwell, I'm going to go over.
They love Kenny G Well, Warren's

615
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:21,680
active, so I.
Think he's going to he's going

616
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,560
to get more touches tonight from
the run.

617
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,600
Haven't we thought that every.
Week, that's true.

618
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,360
OK, so.
It is a coin.

619
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:31,880
Toss.
What did you say, Steve?

620
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,360
Under what did you say?
Over?

621
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:41,200
I am going to say under.
OK, Steve, you make up 1.

622
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:47,280
Your comments this Kenny.
Gainwell over under 40, we'll

623
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,200
say 40 1/2 rushing yard.
DK Metcalf.

624
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:57,120
Receiving yards 65 yards over or
under.

625
00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:06,120
Go over, Schwaber is going over.
I.

626
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,600
Am going to go.
I'm gonna go over as well.

627
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,240
I, I, I don't, I don't think the
steel.

628
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,280
No, I didn't say 67, no.
It said the the the.

629
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:21,480
Dolphins record is 6-7 Why, why
why I I I.

630
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,680
I think, I think he's gonna go.
I think he's going over 65

631
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,160
receiving yard.
Schwaber over me over or no?

632
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:33,080
No Steve over me over Schwaber,
Schwab said.

633
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:34,960
Over I.
Say over.

634
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:44,600
OK.
OK, Aaron Rodgers over under,

635
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:55,720
255 passing yards under.
I'm going with the over.

636
00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:01,240
I'm going with.
The over as well, OK, and.

637
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,880
Final score.
Let's just throw it in there for

638
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:09,920
the post game.
Final score Pittsburgh Steelers

639
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:16,040
24 Miami Dolphins 19 OK, so
Robert.

640
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,920
For some reason, I don't know,
just today, I just don't have a

641
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:30,360
great feeling about this.
I'm going to say Miami Dolphins

642
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:41,080
27, Pittsburgh Steelers 23.
Yeah, you know, they they

643
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,040
haven't been able to stack wins
all year.

644
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:47,640
And yeah, this is at home
favorable conditions according

645
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,240
to, you know, the weather guys
and everybody that follows

646
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,800
Dolphins football.
So I I think the Steeler this is

647
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,920
going to be tough, man.
God, I do like those uniforms.

648
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:00,480
I do.
I like they're undefeated in.

649
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,920
Those uniforms.
Also another thing all.

650
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,560
Right.
They're due.

651
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,160
I think they're like, I think
they're four or no or.

652
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,320
Five.
I'm going to say 19. 17

653
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,639
dolphins.
I don't want to be this

654
00:34:11,639 --> 00:34:13,800
disappointed, I just want it to
be known.

655
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:15,360
Wow.
But I feel like I'm.

656
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,080
The only optimistic 1 here.
That's strange.

657
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:22,120
Well, Mike Lawrence.
Says. 2320 Steelers yeah, yeah.

658
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,480
So we'll.
See, we'll see our simpatico

659
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,120
here.
That brings us to porch.

660
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:27,440
Picks.
What are porch picks?

661
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,120
Every week we pick games, Three
games.

662
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,639
This week we are picking four
games actually, because there's

663
00:34:32,639 --> 00:34:36,320
some Saturday games.
We picked the game, Saturday

664
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,320
games there.
There are this week Saturday

665
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,159
games.
The we really with the NCAA.

00:34:41,159 --> 00:34:44,440
Playoffs that's that's
surprising OK so just if you.

667
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:48,600
Want to, you know, question my
ability to I believe you, I

668
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,400
believe.
You to read the schedule.

669
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,400
Why didn't pick up the phone?
Because we had a, we had a live

670
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:57,640
caller.
No, it was.

671
00:34:57,720 --> 00:34:58,960
It was a spam.
Call.

672
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,360
We could hear it in ours, but
they couldn't hear it out there.

673
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,920
We can only hear.
It in ours, we are just off the

674
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,600
goddamn.
Everything else tonight.

675
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,160
Let me tell you.
Let's because we're distracted.

676
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,600
It's a Monday night game.
We're we're had a very good on

677
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:11,320
Monday.
How did we do?

678
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:12,960
Last Monday, get to the pick all
right.

679
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:14,480
So last.
Week.

680
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,920
It was kind of a bad week for
all of us Thursday night.

681
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:20,920
We all had the Bucks Sunday
night.

682
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,200
Sunday Steve had the bills like
this running backward drill.

683
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,920
Yeah, it's it's brilliant.
Steve.

684
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,880
How often do you do that, Steve?
OK.

685
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,560
All right.
Steve had Steve had the Bills

686
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,960
and we all had the Cowboys.
So Mark and Chris were oh, and

687
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,480
three, I win the game.
Steve was one and two.

688
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,680
Wow.
The Grand Swabini still in the

689
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:46,040
lead at 24 and 23, and TD and HG
are tied.

690
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:51,600
HG are tied at 23 and 24.
The first game we're going to

691
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,920
take the Bills pick this week.
Is.

692
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:59,400
The Thursday night game, which
happens to be the Rams at the

693
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,200
Seahawks.
Oh man, that's a great.

694
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,160
Game Rams, too.
Bad there's a hockey.

695
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,320
Game on it.
I'm going to miss it at the

696
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:11,480
Seahawks.
I'm going to look.

697
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:16,160
You guys have made me question
myself, as friends invariably

698
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,280
do, so I'm going to double
check.

699
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,160
Yes.
Thursday, Rams and Seahawks.

700
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,040
Saturday, December 20th.
Yeah.

701
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,040
OK.
There's games you jerk off, OK?

702
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,520
Shouldn't.
Be laughing at you Rams at the

703
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,360
Seahawks.
You're I get to go first because

704
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,080
I.
I'm I'm always in first place.

705
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,320
Last week, yeah.
Your your pick.

706
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:37,000
In the comments, the Rams are
super.

707
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,120
Hot right now.
They're beating the hell out of

708
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:40,840
it.
Dante Adams won't play this.

709
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,600
Week, yeah, but they got a lot
of good.

710
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,640
Yeah, I mean they got.
They got, they got, they got.

711
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,280
Parkinson at tight end, I mean
Rams.

712
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:52,600
Top Seattle's I mean they're
they're they have the same

713
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,000
record in Seattle's second in
the division.

714
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,440
That's crazy.
This is for the division title

715
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:03,320
probably right so.
I'm, I don't know, I'm going to

716
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:04,040
go with.
Seattle.

717
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,000
I I they're playing in Seattle,
right?

718
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:08,360
Rams at Seahawks.
Yeah, I'm.

719
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:09,440
Going to take the.
I'm going to take the.

720
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:13,880
Seahawks I I, I, I think they're
going to win Ryan Swabini.

721
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:18,040
I'm going to take the.
Rams and Schwabini is going to.

722
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:19,800
Take the Rams.
Flip a coin on this.

723
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:21,760
This is.
This is going to be a great

724
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,560
game.
Even if it's going to be like a

725
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,840
1716 game, it'll still be a
great game.

726
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,600
It's kind of like I just don't.
Believe in Sam Darnold.

727
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:32,920
I'm taking the Seahawks at.
Home the Rams just beat handily

728
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,720
beat Detroit.
I think it's a let down game

729
00:37:35,720 --> 00:37:37,520
because they're travelling up to
Seattle.

730
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:42,040
Rams at Seahawks now Saturday.
Here's a Saturday game.

731
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:48,240
Packers at Bears.
Packers at Bears.

732
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,000
That's easy.
You're picking the.

733
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,600
Comments.
Green Bay Packers all.

734
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,280
Right.
They're not going to lose to the

735
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:54,840
Bears.
Twice.

736
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,800
OK, I'm.
Going to take the bears.

737
00:37:58,200 --> 00:37:59,880
The bears the.
Bears.

738

No, no, Mica.
I'm I'm taking the bears.

739
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,000
As well, he's not a difference
maker.

740
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:07,280
I'm.
I'm taking the.

741
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,920
Bears he's like Miles Garrett
Chris Chotta calling Rams win

742
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:14,200
the Super Bowl alrighty I think
I have the Rams in the.

743
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,920
Super Bowl Chris Chotta.
So yeah, congratulations.

744
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:17,840
Yeah.
Good for you.

745
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:18,880
Good.
For you, did you pick?

746
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:24,120
I pick the the bears.
I pick the bears again.

747
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:33,360
OK, next is a Sunday game.
Boo to thunk, Jaguars at the

748
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:39,880
Broncos and you're talking about
the top seed Denver Broncos in

749
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,160
the AFC.
It's in Denver Top.

750
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,560
Seed in Denver.
Jags at Broncos, Jaguars having

751
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:49,080
a great year.
I mean, the AFC flipped upside

752
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:50,880
down if you think about it.
Not really.

753
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:53,280
All right, I.
Mean.

754
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,560
Why do you say that?
Because.

755
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,320
Kansas City is.
Eliminated, yeah, but the AFC

756
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,960
South?
Is is wide open every freaking

757
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:02,560
year?
Like, are you surprised at

758
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,000
Jacksonville's at the top?
No, you're not surprised because

759
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,440
anybody can win that.
Every other year they have a

760
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,200
good year.
Are you surprised at Denver's?

761
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,280
At the top?
No, not at all.

762
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,000
I.
Picked Denver the do well this

763
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:14,680
year.
I forgot how much you know.

764
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,160
All right, let's go.
I did.

765
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:17,040
I did.
I did not.

766
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:20,080
I.
Did not see the Kansas City fall

767
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:21,160
falling though.
All right.

768
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,400
Can we just pick the the Jags?
Broncos game, Sure, I'll take,

769
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:25,520
smarty pants.
I'm going to take.

770
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,360
I'm going to.
Take the Jaguar, since you think

771
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,000
they're all that in the bag of
peanuts.

772
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:35,280
All right, Steve takes the Jags.
Grand Schwabini, I'll take the

773
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,200
Broncos.
Wrapping up home field see now

774
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,320
your your start I.
Texted you and said now do you

775
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,760
believe in bow Nicks?
They're 11 and 2.

776
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,520
Denver's clinched the playoff.
Spot, by the way, or are they

777
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:49,200
12:00 and 2:00?
12:00 and 2:12 and 2:12 and 2:00

778
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:50,960
bow Nicks.
That's why I don't think

779
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,240
they're.
A 13 and two team in Bow We

780
00:39:53,240 --> 00:39:55,120
trust they're not.
A 13 and two team.

781
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,480
Just take the guy with the nice
hair, yeah?

782
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,520
Nap Mile High.
I'm going with the Broncos.

783
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:08,000
I'm going with the Broncos, OK?
Last pick.

784
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,120
Now we had to have kind of a
kind of an iffy game.

785
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,360
And it's also the Sunday night
game because, you know, we do

786
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:15,800
the Sunday night game no matter
what.

787
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,840
No, it's not horrible, but it
kind of is.

788
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:20,720
It's it's got a little
nostalgia.

789
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,920
San Francisco, the 49ers at the
Colts.

790
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:27,720
We're going to watch Phillip
Rivers return to the NFL and

791
00:40:27,720 --> 00:40:30,760
become a star again.
What he he played well.

792
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,280
He played well.
Yesterday I don't think he did,

793
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,520
did he?
Yeah, well, old.

794
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,760
Fat guy he.
He brought them down to win.

795
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:41,400
The game and then they couldn't
stop the other team from, you

796
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,880
know, going 20 yards and kicking
a field.

797
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:45,840
I mean, he's big enough to play
linebacker.

798
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:47,480
He should have been out there
playing linebacker.

799
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,520
Yeah, that was it was against.
The Seahawks.

800
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:50,920
Right.
Yeah.

801
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,320
They lost 18 to 16.
He was so good.

802
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:57,480
They scored sixteen points, 120
passing yards with a touchdown

803
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,920
and an interception.
He hasn't played in five years.

804
00:40:59,920 --> 00:41:01,320
And he's 44.
I know.

805
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,360
And they were winning the whole
game and they were trailing

806
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,080
under the two-minute warning.
He drove him down for a field

807
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:09,720
goal.
OK, OK.

808
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,320
OK.
But Niners at Colts.

809
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:14,880
Niners at Colts San Francisco.
OK.

810
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:18,600
Come on.
Steve Yeah, Colts are done.

811
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:22,240
49ers Yeah, Colts are done.
And stick a fork.

812
00:41:22,240 --> 00:41:23,400
And.
That's where the smart money

813
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,160
goes.
So although the Colts haven't

814
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,560
eaten 6th.
Prior I'm going to go yeah, but

815
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,160
I.
Mean, like you guys said, I'm

816
00:41:29,240 --> 00:41:31,400
going to go.
You can't lose your.

817
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,960
Quarterback and expect that.
Get better.

818
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,200
All right?
That's porch picks.

819
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:40,880

Jesus here.

There's been a lot of activity
going on, but if you're a Pens

831
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,440
fan, you can't afford to miss
that.

832
00:42:23,240 --> 00:42:25,800
Mike Lawrence does say one last
NFL thing.

833
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,800
Different pick, NFLMVP Josh
Allen or Matt Stafford.

834
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:30,480
Right now, I think it's Matt
Stafford.

835
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:31,920
It's clearly Stafford.
Yeah, yeah.

836
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:33,240
Yeah, yeah.
So.

837
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,880
Hockey Jesus preaches on the
Josh Allen he's having.

838
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:37,960
A hell of a year.
Well, the weather.

839
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:42,680
Outside is frightful and you
know it's so delightful.

840
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,160
I love when he tries to sing.
Songs like this I forgot.

841
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,240
About the bone I I.
Need to pick with you, Schwab,

842
00:42:48,240 --> 00:42:50,040
but I'm going to I'm going to
have to try to remember what it

843
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,840
is.
So anyway, go ahead hockey

844
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:54,880
Jesus, give us a brief 1 and
then we'll get on to what we're

845
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:56,520
watching.
Well, there's nothing brief

846
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,400
about the.
Pittsburgh Penguins this past

847
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:02,720
week I mean they go from
scoring, getting a goal scored

848
00:43:02,720 --> 00:43:08,120
against them with .1 seconds
left to yeah I I I I laying an.

849
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:13,400
Absolute turd against.
Montreal who then giving up A51

850
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:17,960
lead and losing 65 in overtime
and then the very next day

851
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:22,760
giving up a three nothing lead
going into the third period and

852
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:28,560
losing again 54.
I just, I, I it's unexplainable.

853
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:33,200
I have not seen a section of
games that have been just

854
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,520
absolutely more heartbreaking
than those three games, to be

855
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:40,600
completely honest with you.
And there's no, there's no

856
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:45,920
explanation for that big of a
debacle other than the momentum

857
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:47,480
starts going in the wrong
direction.

858
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:51,160
And you can see it, you can
sense it that the the Penguins

859
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,280
have no way to stop it.
They don't know how to stop it.

860
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:59,200
So for me, this is, this is
Muse's first time where he

861
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:04,080
absolutely has to do something
to change it because it's clear

862
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:07,480
the players don't know what to
do and their psyche is going in

863
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:09,960
the wrong direction.
So he's got it, he's got to fix

864
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,960
it and he's got to fix it now.
This has been, this has been

865
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:17,400
happening since early November.
So it's not just been these last

866
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:22,280
4-5 games, it's happened two
other times in early November.

867
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,560
So they've got to do something
about that.

868
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,520
Other than that, I have no
qualms with the way they've been

869
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,240
playing.
I think Muses made some good

870
00:44:30,240 --> 00:44:33,920
changes to some lines.
He broke up the kid line, which

871
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:38,200
was a Kendall Mcgroarty and
Kovenin and Kovenin hasn't been

872
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:42,920
hasn't been playing too well.
So they put them together with

873
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:44,720
Brazil and it worked out
perfect.

874
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,520
They they play great together.
So and until Gino can come back,

875
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,600
I think they'll probably keep
that line together.

876
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:55,440
And but the defense has been
inexplainably bad in the last

877
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,040
four or five games.
They just, it's like they

878
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,600
stopped attacking.
They don't know how to play the

879
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,960
puck and they can't get it out
of their zone and they don't

880
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:07,240
know how to chase down pucks
that you don't miss the net or,

881
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:09,040
you know, just go into the
corner.

882
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:13,080
When are we going to see skin?
Skinner in that probably

883
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,840
tomorrow.
Night they they both Skinner and

884
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,840
Kulak, yeah, probably should
have started with the Jarry

885
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:23,560
trade, but both Skinner and
Kulak made it through

886
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,680
immigration today so they're
they'll be on the team tomorrow.

887
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:30,680
Wow, that's amazing.
That they actually made it

888
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,560
through immigration.
Well, I mean, we could, we could

889
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:35,080
go a lot of.
Place we could go a.

890
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:40,320
Lot of places with that but I.
I was throwing out the bait.

891
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,160
I, I, I think we're just.
Going to lay that one where it

892
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:44,160
is.
Leave it at hockey.

893
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:47,640
Yeah, let's, let's just say
they're hockey players, they

894
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:51,800
have a job, so they got the visa
to be able to play in the United

895
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,680
States quickly.
I know that's a dig.

896
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:59,560
That's a dig, so.
Yeah, so, so you'll see Skinner

897
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,520
play against Jarry in a reverse
role from where it would have

898
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:06,200
been a week ago, which is pretty
interesting if you think about

899
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,520
it.
Everybody, you know, if if you

900
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:12,120
were living under a rock for the
past week, Tristan Jarry did get

901
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:16,680
traded to the Edmonton Oilers.
And I think I, I, I talked about

902
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:20,600
this in in my breaking news that
he's from Edmonton.

903
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,520
He's actually not from Edmonton,
but he played for their minor

904
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:26,080
league team when when he played
for the minor leagues.

905
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:28,680
So Jarry.
Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry, Yeah, I'm

906
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:30,080
sorry.
Tristan Jarry.

907
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:34,880
So he's actually from British
Columbia, so he's not from the

908
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:39,400
Edmonton area, but Needless to
say, they're familiar with him

909
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:41,920
through the minor league team
and he's familiar with the

910
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:46,760
Edmonton area for that reason.
And so they wanted him.

911
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:48,760
They, they, Edmonton clearly
wanted him.

912
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:51,240
They think he's, you know, what
he's done this past year.

913
00:46:51,240 --> 00:46:54,200
And to be fair, he's actually
played pretty well at the end of

914
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,600
last year too.
So he has put together, if you

915
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,440
look at the body of evidence
from last year into this year,

916
00:47:00,720 --> 00:47:04,600
probably 3/4 of a Goodyear.
So maybe he is back, you know,

917
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,960
maybe, maybe it was a bad train.
But the good thing about it is,

918
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,840
is you get rid of the last, the
next two years of his, his

919
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,080
contract.
When clearly if you watch the

920
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:16,720
game on Sunday, the 1st 2
periods, Miroshoff is just a

921
00:47:16,720 --> 00:47:19,240
fantastic goalie.
He, he's got all the goods.

922
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,640
Now, if to be a fantastic
goalie, you can't give up four

923
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:25,680
goals in like 6 minutes, which
he did.

924
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:29,120
So you know, and he did did give
up to both of his goals in

925
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:32,360
overtime were soft goals.
So he's got to get better in

926
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:34,240
overtime.
And let's face it, everybody on

927
00:47:34,240 --> 00:47:36,680
the Penguins need to get better
in the extra periods.

928
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,640
They're one and 9 when it comes
to overtime and shoot outs.

929
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,480
They actually, if you, if you
look at their record, they have

930
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:48,440
the fewest amount of regular,
regular, regular time losses in

931
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:52,760
the whole Eastern Conference.
But they've lost so many in

932
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,440
overtime, right?
All their wins are regulation.

933
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:56,720
Wins.
Yeah, yeah.

934
00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:01,600
But they have, they have one.
They have one overtime win.

935
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:04,960
I, I have to say I I.
Think personally, I think it was

936
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:08,480
a panic move by Edmonton.
I mean, I think Edmonton's, you

937
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:11,720
know, like they, they think that
the goaltending is their biggest

938
00:48:11,720 --> 00:48:16,360
problem and it might not be,
they might just be a little bit

939
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:19,480
more top heavy than some of the
other best teams.

940
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:25,440
I mean, look, look, I mean, it's
all it's all about.

941
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:27,360
Goaltending, I mean, we should
agree with that, Yeah.

942
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,520
I mean.
Jarry's to to be honest, I mean,

943
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:33,600
I think Jarry is awful now I
realize he's he's played better,

944
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:37,160
but I mean, look, I'm, I'm
sorry, I mean, like Skinner was

945
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,680
in the finals two years and two
years.

946
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:41,600
In a row, yeah, while the.
Penguins haven't even.

947
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:43,760
Made the playoffs.
I would rather have the.

948
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:45,800
Guy who's been in the finals 2
years in a row.

949
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:50,000
I don't understand it myself.
I agree with you, but if you

950
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:53,480
look at if you look at their
stats, they're very similar when

951
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:56,560
it comes to to their their
career stats.

952
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:00,640
So I think it's just the change.
I think it's a change of venue.

953
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,480
They just, they have a scapegoat
they want to get rid of.

954
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:06,280
And the Penguins wanted to get
rid of two years off of a

955
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:09,600
contract where they knew they
didn't want to pay a backup

956
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:13,480
goalie 6 and a half, $1,000,000.
So I think it works out for the

957
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:17,680
best that way.
And I I just don't I don't know

958
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:20,080
what what the Penguins are going
to do from this point on.

959
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:23,840
I do know that they got it.
They got to do something better

960
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:27,120
on Tuesday night.
They if they go through another

961
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:30,000
situation where they're winning
for nothing going in the third

962
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,440
period, I think maybe everybody
will leave the arena right,

963
00:49:34,720 --> 00:49:36,960
right.
And I did go off on this on my

964
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:39,800
last on my last hockey Jesus.
And I'll I'll end with this.

965
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:44,000
I don't like the fact that the
Penguins fans were booing them

966
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:46,680
when they started the the turn
when, you know, when they

967
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,400
started giving up goals.
I think that's the worst thing

968
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,160
you can do as a fan.
The the players know they're

969
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:54,640
losing it.
They want, they want a little

970
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:56,760
bit of encouragement.
They just want to be like,

971
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,280
somebody please believe in us
because we don't believe in

972
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,160
ourselves right now.
But yet if you're booing them,

973
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:06,400
it's just feeding into that that
bad juju that happens in that

974
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:09,960
bad momentum that happens when
you start going downhill.

975
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:13,560
And there's no other sport like
hockey where momentum means

976
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,360
everything.
Once you start going in in the

977
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:18,880
opposite direction, it's really
hard to get it back.

978
00:50:19,240 --> 00:50:21,800
And unfortunately for the
Penguins, it seems to happen

979
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:26,200
when they have the biggest lead
of the game what what they play.

980
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:27,720
When when they play.
Tight.

981
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:31,320
You know, when it's like a
three, two game, 21 game, they

982
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:34,400
seem like they can play back and
forth and and be okay with it,

983
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:36,920
but they're going to have to do
something.

984
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:39,320
I I think it's going to be very
interesting to see what Skinner

985
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,000
does.
So that's what I'm going to be

986
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,120
looking at now when I'm, I'm
looking at the Penguins.

987
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,680
How's Skinner doing?
How does how does he play the

988
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:47,840
puck?
Does he work well with his

989
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:50,560
defense?
You know, is he is he saving it

990
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,200
into the corner?
Is he saving it out front where

991
00:50:53,240 --> 00:50:56,360
the where the defense can clear
the puck, that sort of thing?

992
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:58,520
That's what I'm going to be
looking for when I'm when I'm

993
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:01,560
watching the Penguins game on
Tuesday and Thursday of this

994
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:03,320
week.
All right.

995
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:05,720
All right then, they have a home
and home against.

996
00:51:05,720 --> 00:51:07,960
Montreal.
So that'll be 3 games against

997
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:11,560
Montreal in like 12 days, which
is weird.

998
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:13,520
The schedule is weird like that
sometimes.

999
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:16,320
But I do love a home and home
series where you play.

1000
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:19,680
You play Montreal at home on
Saturday and then you play the

1001
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:22,800
the Penguins play at home
against Montreal on Sunday.

1002
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,560
So that'll be very interesting.
All right, there you have it,

1003
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:26,880
hockey.

a little time later after the
game, if you're still wired up

1017
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:06,080
after watching post game and
you're surfing through all of

1018
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:10,440
the trailers and the previews on
the streaming services.

1019
00:52:11,240 --> 00:52:15,120
We we take that away.
We take that time and we give it

We're going to tell you what's
good.

1022
00:52:18,240 --> 00:52:19,480
We're going to tell you what's
bad.

1023
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,600
We're going to tell you what
we're watching right now, HJ,

1024
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:24,360
you are watching.
I'm up.

1025
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:25,720
You are.
First, Yeah.

1026
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:30,320
That was a pretty lackluster.
Intro got a time.

1027
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:32,320
Issue here pal.
We got a time I.

1028
00:52:32,720 --> 00:52:33,400
Got a time?
Listen.

1029
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,000
In the future, we're gonna have
to.

1030
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:36,720
Probably go back to the Grants
well-being.

1031
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:40,840
Okay whatever I.
Gotta do this, and then I gotta

1032
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:44,920
do all the, you know, you got to
work real hard, yeah.

1033
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:46,520
And then I got to watch the.
Game.

1034
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,240
All right, come on.
The Reckoning, Netflix.

1035
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:53,080
The Reckoning, Sean.
Combs the reckoning, also known

1036
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:57,560
as P Diddy, also known as.
Puff Daddy.

1037
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:01,480
Also known as Puffy.
Also known as.

1038
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:05,120
Sean Combs, also known as.
Sean Combs, also known as

1039
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:06,480
convicted.
I had to.

1040
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:09,480
I had to watch.
This because I, I wanted to give

1041
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:14,280
the, the review for, for our,
our hip hop artist here, Mark

1042
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:19,360
Schwab, AKA the Grand Swabini.
He is absolutely the hip hop guy

1043
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:21,600
here.
So I, I, I, we all lived through

1044
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:24,480
the 90s and, and the early days
of hip hop, right?

1045
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:28,360
I didn't pay attention much to
it other than whatever came up

1046
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:32,080
on the headlines.
So when you say Puff Daddy or P

1047
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:34,000
Diddy, I'm like, well, which one
is he now?

1048
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:35,520
Was kind of like Prince back in
the day.

1049
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:38,200
He was Prince.
He was the artist formerly known

1050
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,360
as Prince.
And then he went back to Prince,

1051
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:44,720
you know, that sort of thing.
But Sean Combs started started

1052
00:53:44,720 --> 00:53:48,840
an epic company in Bad Boys, Bad
Boy Records.

1053
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:51,400
And he had.
Some run insurance with some

1054
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:55,400
other rappers like Tupac, Tupac
Biggie.

1055
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:57,440
Biggie.
Biggie was his boy, right?

1056
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:00,000
Biggie was his boy.
Tupac was kind of like the

1057
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:03,360
competition on the West most
right And Tupac and Biggie got

1058
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:05,280
together.
So that didn't work too well.

1059
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:08,800
And the, the thing about this
is, I'm not going to go through

1060
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:12,360
the whole thing, but if, if
you've lived through the 90s and

1061
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:15,720
you don't really didn't really
follow it closely, this will

1062
00:54:15,720 --> 00:54:19,320
connect all the dots for you.
You'll be like, oh, so that's

1063
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:22,320
the reason why this happened.
This is the reason why that

1064
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:25,840
shooting happened.
This is why he did the things he

1065
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:31,560
did entirely from, you know, the
the thug life that that you know

1066
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:35,000
that he that he liked that he
enjoyed the money, the people

1067
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:38,560
who surrounded him and why
people left him and why people

1068
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:41,920
actually ultimately turned on
him.

1069
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:45,320
Do they do they put Snoop?
And Doctor Dre in it.

1070
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:48,080
Snoop and Doctor Dre do.
Not play a role in this.

1071
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:54,160
It's mostly Tupac, Biggie and
and and puff and in his

1072
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:56,160
organization.
So there are some people in his

1073
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:57,720
organization you don't know
about.

1074
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:01,560
They interview those guys.
So they have some insider

1075
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:06,000
information on him that you
hadn't heard before and after,

1076
00:55:06,240 --> 00:55:09,600
at the end, after, after
everything happened, they do go,

1077
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:12,680
they did get a couple jurors who
were on, you know, the, the

1078
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:16,200
trial and they talk about their
thinking about how they were

1079
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:19,360
thinking about what, what
verdict they gave because it was

1080
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,040
a mixed verdict.
That was, it was actually a win

1081
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:26,160
for for P Diddy, but he still
ended up going to jail because

1082
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:29,280
of the, the heinous things that
he did get convicted for.

1083
00:55:29,720 --> 00:55:34,120
So I say, if I say watch it, I,
you will learn something from

1084
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:37,440
it, even if you're not.
I'm not a hip hop fan and I, I

1085
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:39,920
enjoyed it because I thought it
was a good documentary.

1086
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:44,280
They actually had video of him
the days before he got arrested

1087
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:48,080
that they had access to.
So they show a lot of that too.

1088
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:49,600
Do they?
Do they actually weave any?

1089
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:51,600
Music into it.
Oh yeah, they did.

1090
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:52,560
Yeah.
His musics.

1091
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:53,680
All the way.
Through his.

1092
00:55:53,720 --> 00:55:55,400
Music.
Tupac Biggies.

1093
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:59,080
I I don't know any of it.
Yeah, even they did some Snoop

1094
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,080
stuff too.
Oh yeah, yeah, they, they did

1095
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:04,120
all the hits and like, you would
know it, you'd probably sing it.

1096
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:06,800
I I was like, I think I know
that song, right?

1097
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:10,120
But no, they did, they do a good
job of, you know, hitting the

1098
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:13,040
highlights of all his hits.
And like, there were some other

1099
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:15,600
bands that I didn't even hear
of, like 26.

1100
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:19,640
And there was like some other
bands that he he did when he

1101
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:22,320
first came up that I was like, I
don't know who these people are,

1102
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:24,680
but Mace, I think Mace.
Is 1 there?

1103
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:27,520
There were two or three that.
I was, I didn't know, but those

1104
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:29,280
were some of the women who
turned on him.

1105
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:31,640
Danity Kane.
Yes, that one.

1106
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:34,200
Yep.
Yep, for sure.

1107
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:37,480
So I say 2.
I'd say 2 thumbs up.

1108
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:39,760
Why not?
But not enthusiastically because

1109
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:41,400
I don't really care much about
hip hop.

1110
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:44,240
If you do, you might be a little
disappointed because it might be

1111
00:56:44,240 --> 00:56:46,920
stuff that you already know, but
I promise you'll still learn

1112
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,040
something from it.
So I give it 2 thumbs up.

1113
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:52,120
The Reckoning.
Sean Combs.

1114
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:53,200
Interesting.
Grand.

1115
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:56,640
Schwabeanie.
The Grand Schwabini.

1116
00:56:56,760 --> 00:57:00,920
Chad Powers.
On Hulu, guys, I got to be.

1117
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:04,120
Honest with you, prior to this
weekend I hadn't even heard of

1118
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:07,680
this, had you?
No, I have.

1119
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:09,960
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, so it's on Hulu.

1120
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:15,600
It's just a, you know, it's 6
episodes.

1121
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:19,320
It did get renewed for season 2.
Oh, OK.

1122
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:23,280
Because otherwise it would have
really left off on a

1123
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:29,000
cliffhanger.
But I have to tell you, I I

1124
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:33,880
thought it was really good.
I mean, I, I mean, we basically

1125
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:36,880
binge watched it and we don't
really binge watch much.

1126
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:40,600
We we don't.
You don't been watching much.

1127
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:43,320
Been I.
Don't been watching much, I

1128
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:44,720
don't.
I don't been watching much.

1129
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:48,520
No.
But here's the thing though.

1130
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:51,600
Like I I think I'm making quite
a prediction.

1131
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:53,280
So do you have Hulu?
And do you have Hulu?

1132
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:54,920
Yes.
OK then.

1133
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:55,720
You must.
Watch.

1134
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:57,440
It because I want to be proven
right.

1135
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:01,760
OK?
My prediction is Steve will find

1136
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:03,480
it to be hilarious.
Oh, here we go.

1137
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:04,680
Oh, here we go.
Yep.

1138
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:07,400
You and your.
Lack of humor.

1139
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:12,400
Sensibility will hate it.
OK, if it's anything like.

1140
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:16,080
Napoleon Dynamite, then yes, I
will absolutely hate it.

1141
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:17,640
Well, it's kind.
No, you won't watch.

1142
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:18,520
It's it's kind.
It's.

1143
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:20,200
Kind of it's.
Kind of like this.

1144
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:22,480
I'll wait the first minute.
And then not watch it.

1145
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:23,880
So essentially what?
Happened.

1146
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:25,400
You can't give a review.
So essentially.

1147
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:26,840
What happens is Glenn.
Powell.

1148
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:28,480
I don't want to.
Glenn Powell.

1149
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:30,800
Is a.
You know, college football

1150
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:34,360
superstar, and he blows the big
game.

1151
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:38,520
And not only does he blow the
big game, but he does something

1152
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:41,720
after the big game that
basically the entire world

1153
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:44,040
thinks he's the biggest jerk on
earth.

1154
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:48,080
He gets a blow.
After the big blow, no.

1155
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:51,880
And this is my segment.
OK, so I can.

1156
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:56,520
Think of to say and so.
You know, so, so anyway, that

1157
00:58:56,520 --> 00:59:00,200
happens and, and basically like
his life is ruined, OK.

1158
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:04,280
You know, he he never gets a
chance, like he never gets a

1159
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:07,480
chance at the NFL.
He he was going to get a chance

1160
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:10,440
at the XFL and then he got
caught before he even get

1161
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:14,000
started.
And, you know, he's just doing

1162
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:17,480
odd end jobs.
And, you know, there's a college

1163
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:20,200
football program that, like,
loses its quarterback for the

1164
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:23,600
year, and they don't know what
to do because their backups

1165
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:25,240
pretty lousy.
And they're like, we're going to

1166
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:28,680
do open tryouts.
And so the funny.

1167
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:33,920
So The funny thing is, is that
Glenn Pell's dad works in the

1168
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:38,880
movie business, and he's like a
makeup artist, OK?

1169
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:43,960
And so he has this idea that
he's going to become somebody

1170
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:47,920
else, you know, Chad Powers and
he's going to like make up his

1171
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:51,280
face and all this kind of stuff.
And he's going to go out there

1172
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:56,520
and try to make the team.
And so he he makes the team.

1173
00:59:56,840 --> 01:00:00,560
But the I, I personally thought
Glenn Powell was hilarious in

1174
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:05,480
this because he's trying to be
somebody that doesn't exist.

1175
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:09,640
And so he's just making up weird
shit in this weird voice.

1176
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:13,520
So nobody knows who he is.
Like, you know that like that

1177
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:15,640
like just to give you like a
little glimpse of it.

1178
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:18,920
Like they're, they're saying
like, like where, where, where

1179
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:20,320
do you play your high school
ball?

1180
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:21,760
You know, where do you play your
high school ball?

1181
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:25,880
And he'd be like.
In the woods.

1182
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:32,640
It was just like.
But we, we.

1183
01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:34,880
We couldn't stop.
Watching it, we enjoyed it, so

1184
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:39,360
I'll give you the two thumbs up,
give it a shot and that's it.

1185
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:45,480
It's a good one.
