Starting point is 00:00:27 I'm F.W. Hirsch. I'm Peter Frankopan. And in our podcast, Legacy, we explore the lives of some of the biggest characters in history. This season, we're talking about Joseph Stalin, a murderous dictator who saved the world from another murderous dictator. The man who defeated Hitler, but also the man
Starting point is 00:00:44 who oversaw the deaths of millions of his own people. How did he get away with it? And why is he so popular in Russia today? He is such a singular character for the scale of his brutality, for the psychopathic desire for power. What do you think, Peter? I'm not completely convinced about the glories of the socialist revolution, but we're going to take Stalin from the streets of Gori in Georgia, right the way through to the centre of power as Russia transforms into the Soviet Union and then into a global superpower and

Starting point is 00:04:15 And we got a good one for you right now. But we are, of course, first going to get a little bit of that news. News is brought to you by American Express. We've been nominated kids choice award for favorite podcast. I'm not gonna lie, Trav. I am so jealous of the blimps that you have had in the background of your sets from time to time. Been fortunate, man. Had some big games on a lot of the Nickelodeon broadcasts, man. If we win this award, do we get a blimp? Is that how that works? Is that what this is?
Starting point is 00:04:50 Either that or slime. I'm not sure. I haven't won a Kid's Choice award. I don't think I've won one. You've definitely won a Kid's Choice award. I don't know if I've won one. I might have been up for one, but I don't think I've won a Kid's Choice award. Gosh, I just want a blimp. If I can get one of them Nickelodeon blimp, if we get one, can I at least put it in my house? Can I put the... It award. Gosh, I just want a blimp. If I can get one of them Nickelodeon blimp, if we get one, can I at least put it in my house?
Starting point is 00:05:07 Can I put the- It's all yours, dude. Cause you already got it. It's all yours, unless Brandon wants it, I think. I think he's just hearing it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. All right, Jake, Jake. No, no, I think I would really appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:05:18 You're right, the Knicks are thriving right now. Jake's in a great place. He is in a good spot. He's in a good spot. Him and Ben still. I've just been waiting to see Jake outside of a Knicks game. Absolutely hammered. You know, the street interviews they do. Jake is just on there just motherfucking every other city. Dude, I'm so. Fuck Cleveland. And I just want to catch him.
Starting point is 00:05:42 I'm happy for the Knicks. I am happy for the next middle of the act. I am happy for the next. But I am so upset. It's a Cavaliers. I'm just like this was such a great year. Like it hurts as much as the show's watching Jason Tatum going down. It's like, oh, my gosh, like it's all just like right there. And the Pacers just freaking listen. Shout out to the Pacers. They played a great series. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:06 The Cavs. Ah, you already know. I'm a fan of Indianapolis fan in New York, too. I think it would be a great series. It'd be fun. And shout out to the Cavs, man. You guys still gave the city of Cleveland a lot to cheer for this year. So no doubt. And the other future is looking real bright. Speaking of a bright future, we are up for a kid's choice.
Starting point is 00:06:22 We're for favorite podcast. We're up against the laugh out loud peg podcast. This is gonna be hard to beat. It sounds like it's funny. Are you afraid of the dark? I don't know if the podcast. I used to love those books. Those books used to be.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Yeah, no, no, no. That was goosebumps. Are you afraid of dark? It was the TV show. That was a I think there are books to know. I don't know. I thought Are you afraid of dark is was a I think there are books to know. I don't know. I thought Are You Afraid of Dark is was a TV show. I was afraid of the dark because I used to fucking watch those and turn it off before it got too scary. One of those I remember growing up it was like a clown. Like the kid was on the
Starting point is 00:06:56 swing set and then the clown showed up out of nowhere. I mean, I'm still terrified to this day. I was never big on clowns, dude. They're pretty scary. Bozo. He was terrifying. Bozo the clown. What about a what was the one that was on in living color? All right. I'm in on that cloud.
Starting point is 00:07:14 In living color. Do great shot. Homie the cloud. Yeah, the shout out to the Wayne's brothers. Well, I guess we'll find out. Yeah, we're gonna find out. Please go and 92 percenters. I would listen I want a boy. I need a blimp. I always wanted I've always wanted a piece of
Starting point is 00:07:32 aggro Craig. Okay, and it's never happened. This is the closest thing to happen. This is the closest I'm ever going to get to aggro Craig. Legends of the Hidden Temple pendant, like anything remotely close to my childhood of winning something from Nickelodeon. This is the only thing I'm ever gonna have a chance to get. Please, for the love of God, vote for us. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:56 Nickelodeon, if we win, give him, throw him some slime. I wanna see him get slimed by his girls. I want him to get slimed by his girls, please. I don't have any interest in this life. Travis is also nominated for favorite male sports star, another kids choice award. Well, how about this? If you win this one, then you can keep that plan. But you're up against some stiff competition. Patrick Mahomes heard of that guy before. Little Stephen Curry, Jason Tatum, Lytle Messy, Jalen Hurts, Shohei Otani. I kind of love this photo of Shohei Ohtani.
Starting point is 00:08:25 It's like a... That is the most Nickelodeon version of Shohei Ohtani ever. I mean, it looks like... It looks like a prom photo or something. I don't even know what's going on in this photo. He's a happy son of a buck right there. He is. But the head...
Starting point is 00:08:44 All right, LeBron James. And then of course, Travis Kelsey. Listen, a lot of great choices in this one. Yeah. One just doesn't look like he should be there. All right. Here we go. To vote for any of this last year, you have one of kids choice of workers. You won favorite male sports start last year.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Well, I didn't get a blip. So can you can you go back to that? I didn't get a blip. So, you didn't get a blip. What'd you get? Doesn't look like I don't. I think I got a tweet. I think they tweeted me. Um they might have gate got me something else. I don't know. I was. They probably gave you a blimp. Travis, you and I was in the, I was in, I was moving around and shit. Yeah, we'll go with that. Yeah, I got nothing else to add.
Starting point is 00:09:32 I will say I don't think favorite podcast should receive a sliming, but I do think the favorite male sports star is sufficient enough to be slimed. I'm surprised you haven't been to the Kids' Choice Awards, man. You can go. This is an actual event. Oh, yeah. This is like the Oscars for kids.
Starting point is 00:09:49 Where is it held at? I would assume out in LA. I think that's where I was. You went? You've been to the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards? I think I've been to the Kids' Choice Awards. I'm pretty sure I won an event there. Was it Favorite male sports?
Starting point is 00:10:07 No, no, no. Like they do competitions like, Like what? Like I was pulling a bus full of kids. Pulling a bus full. Do they have agro crag? I didn't see agro crag. If they got the agro crag.
Starting point is 00:10:21 There's a bunch of slime. My, what I got for winning the event was, at the end, I pulled a bus faster than somebody else. I got to do the slip and slide, the slime slide. Slime slide. So you run as fast as you can, then you jump, and you slide down, and you get slimed. Did you do this in a full suit?
Starting point is 00:10:41 No. I brought an extra pair of clothes. Oh, that's smart. Yeah. All right. Well, the ceremony is June 21st in Santa Monica. But before that, please vote on at least New Heights is the favorite sports podcast. It's so funny.
Starting point is 00:11:01 And then at the least, you know, if you want to go above and beyond, go for Travis. We've also been asked to give a huge shout out to the University of Cincinnati Bearcats. That's right. Our mascot, the Bearcat is up for induction into the Mascot Hall of Fame class at 2025. What?
Starting point is 00:11:21 There's a Mascot Hall of Fame? Yeah, there is. And he's about to get voted in. So everybody make sure you go to mascot Hall of Fame dot com slash twenty twenty five. The vote and vote for our guy. Oh, man, there's a lot of good mascots in here that are up for it. Yeah, but our bear cat is the it's iconic.

I love that. Good job. Yeah. The garage beer one was from the two bears 5k. The one in the bottom. I didn't do the 5k actually bite 10 miles for the Eagles Autism Challenge. Oh, okay. Okay. Came in with a very respectable time. I don't know what it was, but I was towards the top. I was very happy with myself. Really? Yeah. So I'm enjoying some beers to celebrate, uh, burning a bunch of calories, you know, nice man. If you can't do that, what's the point of biking?
Starting point is 00:22:32 Um, and then the, the five K actually, Bo Allen and I had a race, uh, you know what the, you know what the beer mile is, right? We already talked about this, right? Yeah. Yeah. So anyways, we tried to beer five K, Bo one, bow one. You know, you don't really know if those beers are empty, but I'll give it to him. He won even though nobody really knows. Yeah, I think it was a fun event. Bert and Tom are awesome. The whole city of Tampa had a blast out there. James Stadium. And then the Eagles always do it
Starting point is 00:23:00 right for the Eagles Autism Challenge. If there's one thing to celebrate after you've just done something, a physical achievement, you drink beer afterwards, right? Sometimes you drink beer during it too. Unless you're trying to get gains, but yeah. Well, what am I trying to gain? I'm retired. That's a good point. That's why you drink beers.
Starting point is 00:23:17 That's your thing. Yeah. Yeah. I'm competing with nobody. Yeah, you're competing with somebody because you were excited that you were in the upper half. I will ask this though, why the hell doesn't New Heights have their own 5K or their own charity golf outing? What are we doing here?
Starting point is 00:23:33 This is a great question. This is a great question. Why does it have to be a charity golf outing? Can't we just do like a legit golf outing? Because we want to raise money for the kids. We don't want to just keep all our money. Why does it have to be for the kids? Why can't it be for grown adults? Yeah, there you go. That run a podcast. Maybe my bad. My bad.
Starting point is 00:23:50 My bad. My bad. My bad. My bad player. I respect it. Always good for doing something. Fuck them kids. Oh, my bad. Don't say that. Don't say that. Listen, I'm in other than doing another 5k. Do you want to do a beer 5k? Should we just do an event, the beer 5k than doing another 5k. Do you want to do a beer 5k? Should we just do an event, the beer 5k? Jason, no, I don't want to do anything 5k. No. No. No.
Starting point is 00:24:12 Do you want to just like announce your participation in it and then you can just walk it? No, I'd rather just do a golf outing. Okay, we can do a golf outing. That sounds way more fun. I've been wanting to do this. I want to do a golf outing, but I like the team aspect. But like, you don't like the teams? Nope, hate it.
Starting point is 00:24:29 All right, cool. We should also do a Billy Madison style academic decathlon. This is more our speed. I mean, not anything Billy Madison style. I mean, we can even get a penguin there, just running around. Have you seen the movie Penguin Lesson? Penguin Lesson?
Starting point is 00:24:46 No. What's that about? Or Lessons of a Penguin? Is that the one where it's like they follow like the penguins around? No, the penguin follows him around because he saves it. No, I haven't seen this one. Maybe you want a penguin. That's for damn sure.
Starting point is 00:25:01 Yeah, I guess we'll start thinking about a new hides golf outing or 5k or charity or some type of academic decathlon. Just a good old Billy Madison. Yeah, there we go. I like that. Shout out to the Sandman. A lot of options. Let's do it. What kind of events would you guys want to do? What kind of events do the 92%ers? Maybe that's a good way to just think about this. Yeah, please hit us with it. That'll be good for our live shows anyways. Thank you to our partner DraftKings basketball fans.

Starting point is 00:29:06 twenty-five to schedule. That's right. We're uh we're gonna be on a bunch of **** prime time games playing on Sunday. Two on Monday. Uh one on Thursday and this season opener against the Chargers is on a Friday night and uh beautiful of Sao Paulo,
Starting point is 00:29:22 Brazil. Can't wait to get down there and see all the Brazil fans and how they get rocking for some American football, man. I was about to say, by the way, we heard everyone from Brazil. So apparently September in Sao Paulo is not hot. So we don't have to worry about that. Let's go!
Starting point is 00:29:40 We were assured. There are a lot of Brazil fans that, I think we're under the impression that we don't like international games. I speak for Travis and I love it. Sign me up. Don't get me wrong. I love playing an arrowhead and love playing in America, but I'm down with at least one or two international games.
Starting point is 00:29:56 Get me out of this country. I want to play in front of some some new fans, man. We just don't like heat. This thing I'm wearing two shirts right now. I have and it's all it connects. It connects to here and then the back and then I'm just I'm a furry son of a bitch. So I hit me and heat just don't do well together. So I apologize if it came off is that I'm not excited about this. I'm still excited. I'm just going to be doing some wardrobe changes throughout the game. Yeah. And I think I mentioned something about Sao Paulo not being my favorite city dimension that. I think you said you liked Rio more because of the the World Cup experience. Well, I went to four cities when I was in when I went to the
Starting point is 00:30:37 World Cup in 2014. I went to Rio, Brasilia, Brasilia's gorgeous architecture. Rio is like, obviously just an incredibly beautiful city. It's rocking, yeah. Belo Horizonte was awesome as well. I mean, I just, listen, if we're going objectively from beauty, Sao Paulo's just a bunch of concrete. I'm not gonna lie, but I have heard everybody's reactions on the internet.
Starting point is 00:31:03 That's so unfair. Everybody's, they're already gonna be mad at me again. I've heard everybody's reactions on the internet. That's so unfair. Everybody's they're gonna they're already gonna be mad at me again. I've heard everybody's reactions. Everybody's like Sao Paulo's got a lot of culture in in their defense. I only spent one day in Sao Paulo and did nothing but went to a soccer game. So I didn't get to experience the city at all. Who'd you see play there? Do you remember? Oh my gosh, I don't remember which game I saw in Sao Paulo. My favorite game was in Belo Horizonte. We saw Brazil play Chile in the round of 16 where Brazil won in penalty kicks. And they were saying any any soccer player from that game Neymar. What you got to see Neymar play live. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:31:39 It was awesome. Can't see Neymar play. I forget the Chile player that was there. He was having a really good World Cup. But I do remember distinctly thinking how much better at like watching soccer Brazilians were than like Americans. You go to the World Cup as an American and they're like, I believe that we can win. I believe that we can win. It's like, what the fuck are we here for? We can get that rocking. Yeah, get that rocking though. We can get that. That thing gets rocking. That is the fucking most loser mentality chant I have ever heard in my life.
Starting point is 00:32:10 Back in 2015, that was a fight. It was fucking, it was the shit. Listen, I did it. I'm an American at the game. I'm going to do it. But I felt like a complete loser saying like, I think that we can win. I believe that like what the fuck you're acting like. So you're saying that there's people that don't believe it.
Starting point is 00:32:24 I was just a weird fucking chant. It's like, this is just a fucking shitty chant. And then Brazil, Brazil, I don't remember it exactly. But they're saying something like, chichi chichi le le le. And like, and I was like, oh, and I we asked one of the Brazilian sections, what does that mean? And they said, we came here to fuck chill. And I was like, Yeah, they're better at it. They're better. There's a different level of we're here to fuck shit up from the Brazilians than there is from the it's just the USA soccer is
Starting point is 00:32:51 just a little bit too nice. And like, you know what I'm talking about, Travis, you know exactly what I'm talking about. There was a there was an interview with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and he they were asking him like, which like, city he enjoyed the most or like, which fan base he enjoyed the most or like which fan base he enjoyed the most or something like that. Yeah, and he referenced one of the teams he played for one of the cities he played for was like they had like a specific chant after the first time he scored about him like being
Starting point is 00:33:17 a god and like just being the fucking man and they just saw that the entire time he was there. Yes, that's pretty fucking epic. I mean, USA, obviously we got USA, USA, which is like just an epic awesome chant. Everybody hates it probably, which makes me even love it that much. I just think we have so many great things that we could be chanting rather than I believe that we could like, I don't know, I'm out on it. I'm out on that chance so much. It was good. It was good back then. Like you go to like watch like soccer hooligans, you watch soccer hooligans like in England, and they're just talking shit. They're singing songs
Starting point is 00:33:53 about talking shit. The sons of Ben in I think it's sons of Ben in Philadelphia for the MLS team. Uh huh. They're fantastic. I would expect Philly to have some good chance. It is here It the songs are here in the US The national team just needs to take it to another level and I think that that's part of the reason why our national team Is it good? We're trying to start and we're too nice. We don't have the mentality. We came here to fuck you guys That's what the mentality needs to be not like I think that I could win We will fuck you like do you know how much of a different mentality is it is then to go to a game and be like, Oh, I think that I can
Starting point is 00:34:30 win. I believe in myself. Or it's like, I came here to fuck shit up. It is just an entirely different level of like, like gravitas in Brazil. I'm just being honest. Yeah, well, I mean, and I think that that's why they and I think that that's why they beat us. We need the mentality of the US soccer team to be like what some of these other countries we just do and it can't it can't be I believe that we can win it needs to be I believe that we can fuck you up. I believe that
Starting point is 00:34:58 we can't fuck you. Oh, that's what the chance should be. Oh, that's what the chance would be. Let me lead the chance next year. The World Cup's coming to Philly. World Cup's coming to Philly. I'll lead the chance. I got it this time. You go USA. Don't do that.
Starting point is 00:35:21 You can't do that. Oh, that was great, man. Way to fuck. You went full. You went full send there. I'm like, oh my god. Don't do I don't know where you're going with this. I was trying to think of a word that rhymed with fuck and I couldn't get it. I'll work on it. It'll be good though. We'll get some good ones. Yeah. Jason will be the mascot for, uh, the American soccer team. I'm not a mascot. I'm just, I just want to lead the, the, the song section, her at least be a part of coming up with chance that better reflect the
Starting point is 00:36:01 boy, of USA. All right. Let's get up back on track here. Shout out to everybody down in Brazil can't wait to get down there. Sorry if it came off as as I'm not excited because I am I am and we got a huge challenge with the Los Angeles Chargers, baby. Yeah, so we we got a bunch of primetime games and then we don't play in the same slot in consecutive weeks until mid December. So that'll be fun. games and then we don't play in the same slot in consecutive weeks until mid-December. So that'll be fun.
Starting point is 00:36:26 Gotta make sure you check the old schedule, Travis, so you're not late to the game. Is it hard to find a routine when the game day changes so much week to week? No. The routines stay the routines. Depending on when you play, you just slot it in on either like a different day. That is if you play on a short week on like a Saturday or a Friday, you just push up what you got to get done a few days. And then vice versa. If it's a longer day than you just get more rest. And then you just jump in when the when the time
Starting point is 00:37:00 is right. But no, I don't I don't find it hard at all. Love it. I don't know. I don't have anything else. Yeah. I mean, I'm't. I don't find it hard at all. Love it. I don't know. I don't have anything else. Yeah. I mean, I'm a fan of playing on all sorts of different days. Yeah, it changed my routine up, man. I am like, I like to have like a new fresh routine or, you know, I like to have like when it becomes like redundant.
Starting point is 00:37:18 It's just the same, you know, same day, same time. She can get fucking boring, man. Yeah, I think and I'm also just a fan of playing on more prime time times. Like that's when I'm watching TV and I like it when football is on television. So let's keep putting good football games on television when everybody's watching. I mean, I think it's just good for the game. Let's keep taking over all the holidays or taking over Thanksgiving, Christmas, MBA. You're fucked.
Starting point is 00:37:44 You're never getting that back. I mean, it's it's it's the way it is. Are the Chiefs now officially American scene? Well, I mean, listen, the Cowboys aren't. Do you see what happened to this Cowboys fan? I don't even want to say this. Yeah, dude. He uh he switched it up, man. Yeah, this is such a guy to say this is such a Cowboys fan thing to do. Hit down the city of Dallas is gonna fucking kick you in the balls. It does make sense.
Starting point is 00:38:13 I see. I hear where you're coming from. Well, the problem is like this guy probably he probably isn't from Dallas. He's probably just a guy that like was a fan of Dallas around the nineties, late eighties and early 90s. They were just really good or he grew up like thinking hey this is the popular team to pick and he picked them and then he had it tattooed across his entire back like it's the coolest thing in the world and he's like oh these guys suck how can I get a cool team on my back? Just be loyal to us baby just be loyal to us listen we'll treat you right over here at Chief's Kingdom we'll make it so you will never have to cover up that Chief's uh logo, dude. By the
Starting point is 00:38:48 way, shout out to the tattoo artist that was able to cover this up very well. But yeah, I don't know. I don't know if they're American team. I think Philly Philly's building up a big contingency. Really what happens, I guess when you're
Starting point is 00:38:58 really good, people just start liking your team. Yeah. So I'm kind of out on just the whole America's team deal. I don't give a fuck about that shit I don't think anybody wants to want to be Kansas City. Exactly be the Chiefs man. That's what I want to be I'm with you. I'm with you. I'm with the big bad Chiefs come join if you want but America's team. No, we're Kansas City. I'm cool I love that the boys can have that if they want. Yeah any other thoughts on the schedule? I will say Eagles fans are finding out with
Starting point is 00:39:25 Chiefs fans and Chiefs. The Chiefs have had to deal with the last couple of years. The Eagles play on every day other than two days this year. They're on a lot of prime time television games. I mean, it's just what happens when your team's really good. Who doesn't want to see it's a badge of her Saquon Barkley. Play some football. It's a badge of honor. Yeah. Is it harder? Yes. 100 percent.
Starting point is 00:39:50 You're going to have to figure it out. Oh, it's not any harder than the regular schedule. We're having a fucking blast. I played in three games in 11 days last year. Wasn't you wasn't that much harder. I think it's definitely harder.
Starting point is 00:40:02 And you're also playing better teams. When you finish first, you're going to play the best teams in the AFC and the NFC of those respective conferences. That's reality. That's reality. You just it's going to be a hard schedule and the Eagles have a tough one. It's also constructed oddly in some ways. But I'm excited about it. I'm excited how much will be on prime time. And I get to see the boys suit up. So I get to see them suit up. We do, baby. Everybody say you get to see us suit up against them in week two.
Starting point is 00:40:34 The Super Bowl rematch, man. Is that in case you're feeling Kansas City? Kansas City. Yep. And Arrowhead. We also got the Monday night football schedule. We open up Vikings at Bears in week one. Gonna be fun after Kayla Williams basically told everybody he wanted to be drafted by the Vikings Lions at Ravens Chiefs
Starting point is 00:40:55 at the Jaguars. How about it, baby? Let's go man. Little week five. Commanders at Chiefs. That'll be a good one. That was one thing. I'm not happy with the Eagles schedule.
Starting point is 00:41:04 The Eagles and commanders are like, are probably the two front runners to win the division. And they play each other like twice in the last like four games or something like that, like it's something crazy where like it's what's wrong with that. I just wish that there was a game in the earlier part of the season, then there's a game at the end of the season. I don't like when, especially those games are going to come down to be like very like pivotal for the division and it's
Starting point is 00:41:29 going to be able to swing them at the end of the year when they're for the division. No, you put one at the end of the year. You don't have to Washington sucked at the beginning of the year and all of a sudden they win the last two games against the Eagles. I think that's bullshit or vice versa. Just being honest, I think it's it's a weird way to like what if somebody's hurt at that point in the season, but they're going to be healthy for the playoffs. I'm just saying I like it when it's great spaced out more if you want to put us against the Giants late in the year, because nobody really expects them to
Starting point is 00:41:57 be very good. That's fine. But like to have that thing, it's harder. I think it's harder to schedule these things than you think. I think you're probably right, but I also think that I have the right to complain about it. It is tough playing a team like twice in like three weeks. So I'll give you that. That's hard. Right. I've done it before. That is not a fucking easy feat. I also got two Eagles games. They're gonna be on Monday night. Excited about that. We're at Lambeau in week 10 and at the Chargers. Ooh, both away. Damn, we couldn't get the Eagles
Starting point is 00:42:29 a home fucking Monday night game? I think they saw the last home Monday night game and they're like, yeah, Kelsey was a little bit too. Ah! We gotta, we can't let them go back to Philadelphia. They almost blew Dumumpy's knee out. That's fucking hilarious. They're like, yeah, that's not good for our TV. We're gonna get away from this.
Starting point is 00:42:52 That was hilarious. That was well put. Alright, well we got some rule changes about to be voted on, Jason. Yeah. Yeah, proposed rule change. The last thing thing by the time this airs, they will have come to a conclusion on some of this stuff. The NFL owners are having an annual spring meeting in Eagan, Minnesota. Oh beautiful Minnesota. It's probably gorgeous there right now. There will be voters on the following banning the tush push for the one millionth time.
Starting point is 00:43:26 Yep. Changing the playoff seating. That's right. Instead of your division actually mattering during the season, they're just going to post whoever has the best records. It sounds like the last one is the the Olympic flag football. Twenty twenty eight debut of flag football in the Olympics is coming up and we got to figure out, you know, how involved and whether or not the NFL is gonna allow the NFL players to play and participate in it
Starting point is 00:43:51 Where do we want to start with this? Do we want to start with the changing the playoff seating? Sounds like you're against it. I Why are we playing division? Why the division isn't gonna matter anymore? Well, it still determines if you go to the playoffs, it just determines like if you win the division, you're not automatically going to get a home game in the first round. I think is what that means. I thought that was a part of winning the division was like you get that. I agree. And I can't that's why I'm kind of not in favor of changing.
Starting point is 00:44:19 And I think I understand what they're trying to accomplish. Benny's in time. I right now. Benny, are we okay? You don't like the rule change either? You think the division winner should keep their home game, right? Yeah?
Starting point is 00:44:37 Yeah. Yeah, I think she thinks that. Benny, do you want to help out with the rule changes? Come here, sweetie. Benny, she might be the smartest two-year-old ever if she agrees with this. She's probably better at deciding all this stuff than everybody else deciding it.
Starting point is 00:44:52 Benny? She's unbiased. What do you think about the tush push? Should the Eagles be allowed to do the tush push? You're in timeout? Yeah. Yeah. Should the NFL be in timeout
Starting point is 00:45:04 for proposing banning the tush push? No? Okay. You're not beingout. Yeah. Yeah. Should the NFL be in timeout for proposing banding the tush push? No. Okay. You're not being any fun right now. Let's just talk about the tush push. What do you think about the tush push? Well, I want to let's start with the, I think we saw me. Tell me whether you like it or not. I want to start with the playoff seed. We'll get tush push last playoff seating. I understand when it's like an eight and eight team, how they I understand when it's like an eight and 18, how they all of a sudden get a home game versus a team that was like 11 and, you know, six because they got a wild card spot because somebody else was really good in the division.
Starting point is 00:45:35 But I also kind of like sometimes those division records are low because the divisions are really competitive and those teams fought each other all year round. I kind of like the way the thing is structured already. I don't like changing things that I think are largely not broken. Like just play the freaking game. I don't know. I think it's fine the way it is. I think it's perfect the way it is. Yeah. If if you want a higher seed, win your division and have the best record. I'm with you on that. Olympic flag football, a thousand percent in favor of the owners allowing NFL players to participate. 2000%. Like one thing that I think, I think we both probably speak for on behalf of every NFL player. One of the things that has always sucked about
Starting point is 00:46:17 football is that there's no way to represent your country. Well, now the flag football will be in the Olympics. There officially is a way to represent the country on the larger stage possible. I know that the current USA flag football team has a lot of things to say. I believe I can't remember the quarterback's name. He has been stated as saying he's better than Patrick Mahomes. I believe that's verbatim. I think we should find out. He's saying he's yeah, the style he plays is suited for flag football. I mean, listen, I respect that. I like watching him play.
Starting point is 00:46:48 Yeah. I just think he's out of his mind. If he thinks he's a better quarterback than Patrick Mahomes, that's fine. Yeah, we'll find out. I think we should actually just play a game and figure out who qualifies to represent the United States of America. Yeah. Also, if you de-cleat somebody by accident,
Starting point is 00:47:07 do you get kicked out of the game? I said, I don't know what the official rules are because if you, if you strike some fear in them boys, Oh, whoops. All of a sudden, yeah. Yeah. Games, games a little more dicey. Yeah. You want to bring, you
Starting point is 00:47:22 want to be the bad boys. You're bringing that Detroit Pistons mentality, Broad Street bullies mentality to flag football. That's what I'm talking about right there. I can dig it. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, I'm a huge favor of this. I think that everybody in the United States wants to see this. Or at least the opportunity to compete to be able to represent your country. And let's face it, like the, the football is America's game. It's one of the few games that is uniquely American. And the fact that it's going to be on display in this form, the world stage is, is awesome.
Starting point is 00:47:57 And I think as Americans, we should all want the biggest names that are able to be a part of it, a part of it. And then lastly, obviously, there's the tush push, which they are voting on banning. It feels like this is the most legitimate chance it's had since they've been voting on it to be banned. I'll say this, I'm actually going to Minnesota. I was asked what? So there were some things said at the last owner's meeting, essentially saying that some of the owners and coaches
Starting point is 00:48:30 hinted that the reason I stopped playing was because of the tush push and that I got hurt on the tush push frequently. What the fuck? So I'm really just going to honestly- What is dad out here telling reporters this? I'm just going to answer any questions people have about my partaking in this play. I really don't, and I mean this with all sincerity, I don't care whether it gets banned or not. I think that at the end of the day,
Starting point is 00:48:58 this is why you vote on things. And if they vote to ban the tush push, the Eagles are still going to run quarterback sneak at a very high percentage. 92%. They're still, I, we were very successful quarterback sneak before it was the tush push or brotherly shove. And I just think that the players are very good at executing that play in particular, is it marginally better with the push? I think so.
Starting point is 00:49:22 But I also like if everybody's fed up with it, and everybody does feel that it's either a threat to player safety, or they want to go back to the old rule that you can assist runners, we're all going to vote on I don't want to like, try and persuade. Although I do think that like the health thing, there's not any data to suggest that it's less healthy, or that it's more unsafe. Matter of fact, I think a regular short yardage play is probably more unsafe than a tush push. The assisting the runner has never made sense to me because defensive players are allowed to gang tackle running backs. Why are they allowed to like stop a running back with 40 funds of players, but I can't
Starting point is 00:49:56 help my running back out. Well, because life isn't fair, Jason. It's a good point. And that's why somebody's going to vote on this. And the fairness will be determined by the owners and the committee. But I'm just going to offer any type of like, if anybody has any questions about the tush push or whether I retired because of the touch, but I'll tell you this right now, I'll come
Starting point is 00:50:14 out of retirement today. If you tell me all I got to do is run 80 tush pushes to play the NFL. I'll do that. Gladly. It'll be the easiest job in the world and it'll be like 80 some snaps. I think it's the overall ability to play the game and some of the plays that are a lot harder than that to execute. I don't know. It feels weird going there. I don't even know if I should, but I was invited. No, dude, you're in. You're in. I can't wait to see a picture of you with a fucking poster that says pro tush push. I'm not. Listen, I'm okay with it. Keep the push.
Starting point is 00:50:49 Keep the push. Push my tush. Push my tush. Do you think it's weird that I'm going? Should I go? Should I not go? No. I've been going back and forth. This is very, this is very, I think you're doing Philadelphia and the Eagles organization right by going in here and representing that it's not what people are making it out to be. I think you're doing, I think you're being a good teammate and a good player of the organization or former player. No, Jason, here's, I have an honest pitch.
Starting point is 00:51:18 You should have all the owners line up and run a touch push. No. No, this is my job. This is my job. Make them run it. They'll know it's fine. It's not a bad idea. Jerry get under center. Let's run a tush push right now. You, you and me, Jerry. Let's figure out how dangerous this thing is. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:51:38 what they'll be banned in a heartbeat. Are you kidding me? All right, let's get out of this thing. Can't wait to see what happens in old Minnesota with the new rule changes. Thank you to our partner Kingsford. Memorial Day is almost here. The unofficial start of summer. Yeah!

Starting point is 00:54:36 Yeah. It's time. It's time. How do you, for the New Heights Film Club, can you do like the projector sound? Projected time. Brought to you by Reese's and their new peanut butter and jelly cups. For this installment of new heights film club,
Starting point is 00:55:00 we are reviewing the cult classic childhood favorite, potentially greatest, dare I say, kids movie of all time. Damn, there were so many good ones in the 90s too, man. I don't know. I don't know. I think this one is definitely up for it. I'll leave that up to the 92 percenters to argue. Yeah, it's up there.
Starting point is 00:55:18 The 1993 classic. Ooh, 93 was a good year, man. What happened in 93? Michael Jordan won his third NBA championship in 1993. Nice, man. What happened in 93? Michael Jordan won his third NBA championship in 1993. Nice, nice, nice.
Starting point is 00:55:30 Well, they also released The Sandlot. I don't know. We rewatched it. I love watching kids movies again at a later time. Because you think about the movie different, especially being a dad now. I thought about the whole relationship of Smalls and the stepdad and kind of what Smalls is going through in a much different light than I'd ever thought of the movie. But Trav, what were your initial thoughts as an adult? As a parent, would you ever like, I feel like do kids even go outside anymore and like fucking
Starting point is 00:56:03 go to the go to the park and and play baseball I used we used to do that like at least once a week. Well, I don't know that we did it once We did a lot we would go to Fairfax dude I went to court Lenovo and played almost every week It was insane. First of all, this movie takes place in a different time where parents just let their kids do whatever they want They just let them go outside and then you said to come back when the street, you had to come back once the street lights come on. That was the rule. Or you got a good old ass whooping. And we were around right for kind of the start of that going away a little bit. Like I think there was a whole
Starting point is 00:56:38 scare in the nineties that everybody was trying to kidnap your kids. As if anybody wants these fucking things. Nobody wants your fucking kids. What person in their right mind wants a fucking kid? It's the fucking biggest goddamn burden you could, like if that thing wasn't biologically associated with me, well I would adopt to actually, if I'm being honest. I love kids. But-
Starting point is 00:57:03 Let's be sensitive to the people that actually have gotten their kids kidnapped. Okay's fair that's fair the best line ever is that Kelsey's saying kid they fucking take they bring you right back yeah they bring you right back I ain't worried about that oh gosh I just remember the don't take candy from a stranger. Like if anybody comes up to you, offers you candy, don't take it in my head. I'm like, I'm definitely taking candy. If somebody offers it to me, are you fucking an idiot? I'm definitely taking the candy. Free candy. I'm in.
Starting point is 00:57:36 There's definitely a push. I think that's scared a lot of parents from letting their kids go out. Dad definitely let us go out, but he always knew where we were at. And I don't know if you know this, but I would see him ride. He would drive by and he would make sure everything was all right every once in a while. Yeah, I mean, definitely we could have been kidnapped for sure. But it was the real question is, was he just doing that for us or was that an excuse to get out of the house? Stop at the wings down the street. He's going to get some mom's boys back home.
Starting point is 00:58:05 Yeah, sweetie, don't worry. They're all good. They're up at the wings down the street. He's gonna go get some Momma's boys. As he's coming back home. Yeah, sweetie, don't worry. They're all good. They're up at the park. Where'd you get the wings at? Yeah. What? So good. What?
Starting point is 00:58:15 Yeah, I mean, I think it's so good for kids to go out and just play unaccompanied by adults, to be honest with you. Yeah, you grow up. Yeah. And there's so many awesome moments in this movie that it's kind of I don't know if it would be classified as like a coming of age movie, but it's definitely catches smalls and a part in his life where he's moved into a new city. He doesn't have any friends. He doesn't have a father figure that's worth a shit.
Starting point is 00:58:41 It's got a good group of guys helping them see the light of day, man. His mom encourages to go outside and make friends and the friends make fun of him and bully him a little bit. But it's the best. But Benny tells him like, hey, fuck those guys, man, whatever. Just go for it. And like, there's so many positive ways of dealing with like people making fun of you to like not having friends just go get out of the house.
Starting point is 00:59:04 Get the fuck out of the house. Get the fuck out of the house. You're having a little rough day. Get the fuck out. You're gonna go find somebody that you're gonna get along with. I promise you just get the fuck out the house. But there's just so many great moments of like positive mental relationships and kind of like how to cope with, you know, maybe, maybe being somebody with a single parent who's now in a new relationship. And I think that the whole backdrop of baseball is just perfect. Like baseball is just sport. I wrote this down because I really stood out more watching it as an adult.
Starting point is 00:59:46 Like this whole movie is really about legend, right? And the sport of baseball is about legend. Legend, yeah, because it's so old. There's these stories of like, it's all you get in stories in the Bay. But part of it, like the reason it's so much kind of like folklore is because cameras weren't around and like it's just like word of mouth. Like all we know about is there's no more legends anymore. There's no more legends. Everything is on video. Exactly. But like all of these baseball stories and these figures are larger than life.
Starting point is 01:00:18 And then within the movie itself, you have Hercules and the Beast and Wendy peppercorn, the highly sought after unicorn. Just because you watch the movie and everybody got on our ass, it'll be Wendy peppercorn forever. And like Benny the Jet, Picklin, it's all just these larger than life stories and folklore. and folklore and I don't know, it just like makes you, it was so well done with the sport of baseball, why everybody loves baseball, how kids associate things. This kid lacks a father figure, lacks friends. And so many of us as young kids and boys or girls, you look for these like role models in your life and you are drawn to these larger than life characters and the athletes of the time and you make friends and I just think it was a it was a it was a really just awesome depiction of
Starting point is 01:01:20 the importance of sports, the importance of friendship, the specialness and the ability to learn from sports. Like Babe Ruth, heroes are forgotten, but legends never die. Like all these things that like... There's a bit of like the magicalness of like hope and like, and you find that camaraderie and that chemistry with your friends. And especially being new friends or something that you all are encountering for the first time and getting through that. Dude, that scene where Benny's getting chased by the dog
Starting point is 01:02:01 is one of the most epic, I forgot how epic that fucking scene was where he's like literally getting chased all throughout the entire city like imagining that as a kid oh my god right that's so good dude insane and the dog being this like like magical beast the entire movie and benny's the one eventually who gets the better of it. He like like Smalls going, being terrible baseball to the point that everybody's laughing at him. And instead of like, some teacher coming up and being like, hey, don't make fun of Smalls, like Smalls fucking heads up, but he's
Starting point is 01:02:37 like, hey, fuck those guys, go out there. I'm gonna hit you this fly ball. Just put your glove up, right? He catches it. He throws it. And then everybody loves smalls. And it's like, there's a there's a beauty in smalls taking care of that, with the help of his friend, rather than like, some authority figure, like assisting this kid, you know, I mean, if there's like a different level of like, coping with some of these dynamics that I think a lot of the times we get nervous to put our kids in these situations or that our kids are going to experience these.
Starting point is 01:03:12 But in reality, they're all really important for kids to go through this. And this writer, I'm sure was writing from a lot of personal experience. These end up being like cemented into your brain as like huge pivotal moments, right? And I don't know, it was just really well done. I don't know. That's all I got from that. Yeah. Yeah. And also, if you're not making fun of your friends, like you're doing friendship wrong. Like that watching that movie, I'm like, dude, this is exactly who my friendship group is today. Like we still have that little kid in us that is just like, I'm going to fucking roast my friend. And he's going to probably get me back in some form or some way. And it's just it's just going to be hysterical for everybody to be a part of. And it's also going to show like, hey, it doesn't matter what you look like, you know,
Starting point is 01:04:03 where you come from, what you do. Everybody can have fun making fun of each other and still find that love and appreciation It doesn't matter what you look like, you know, where you come from, what you do. Everybody can have fun making fun of each other and still find that love and appreciation for each other at the same time. Yeah. And it I like that small like smalls doesn't listen. He gets discouraged a little bit by the guys, but then he listens to the guy that's uplifting them.
Starting point is 01:04:20 Yeah, exactly. Exactly. I fuck with this guy. This guy's on my side and he's hitting the ball. And there's a lot of like really good positive themes of like relationships, mentally, how to cope with adversity and new scenarios and trying to achieve new tasks leaning into your strengths. He makes the erector set because he's a smart kid to try and get the baseball back.
Starting point is 01:04:43 And it's all backdrop by maybe one of the best soundtracks I've ever been a part of. I mean, every so good single song is just like is so good. I was going to say it's crazy that that that word just as far away from that movie is that movie was from the year it was depicted in the film. Oh, wow. I didn't know that. So 1962 was the year it was depicted. the film. Oh, wow. I didn't know that. So 1962 was the year it was depicted. It came out in 93.
Starting point is 01:05:08 We are now 32 years from 1993. And those the obvious 62 and 93 were 31 years apart. That's crazy. That is nuts. Yeah, that is a great fun fact. I think the scene with the fireworks and Ray Charles saying America, the beautiful America. Do you?
Starting point is 01:05:32 It's fucking magical. Oh, yeah. You just. OK. Yeah, man. The fireworks going off to just the sounds of the fireworks and how, dude, is epic. It's incredible. Did you have you ever tried? Choo. I've had dip. I don't know that. I think I would have tried to one time.
Starting point is 01:05:53 My one buddy, Jeremy Gatta, I shouldn't even say one of my buddies is big. And to chew for a little bit grown up adults. Yeah. It's true. He's over here like, oh no, Jeremy, Jeremy, I get in trouble with his parents. My God, Jeremy was he used to chew a little bit. Jay Gatta, what's up boy? Shout out. Shout out to all the Gattas, man. Chew didn't really do much.
Starting point is 01:06:15 Have you ever done chew? No, I haven't. I've done dip one time. Chew didn't do much. Twice. I did it twice. I did it up at all the higher ground, but go ahead. Dip made me super loopy and I threw up. Dude, every time. I tried it like three times. I never it twice. I did it up at all the higher ground, but go ahead. Dip made me super loopy and I threw up.
Starting point is 01:06:25 Dude, every time I tried it like three times. I never got it every time. I was like, all right, well, my body's just not into this. I never got into that one. Which Sandlot character? Well, Travis is Benny the Jet. Listen, I had P.F. Flyers growing up, man. Let's go. I will say you were also the magnetic person. You know what I mean? Like not just saying that to you,
Starting point is 01:06:49 you were always like the character that everybody like came to for like encouragement. Like that was your personality within like the friend groups it felt like. Yeah. I mean, I'll take that if you're going to say it. I will say it for sure. I think there was a little, there's a little bit of all
Starting point is 01:07:05 of us in there. I think you were I think you were squints. You were a fucking nerd. You were a nerd growing up. Sneak kissing Wendy peppercorn. You knew it was the only way you're getting one. Bold move. I mean listen it's a good thing squz was so young because you pull that move as a child. It's kind of like, oh, that was kind of a ballsy move. Ballsy move. You do that as like the same age or older, let alone that you're going to be arrested. You're getting arrested, son. All right, come here. I'm going to give you a good talking to. You can't be doing this type of shit out here. Iconic though. Was there a Cleveland Heights version of Sam? There was one on, there was 100%. I mean, all the guys that I played baseball with,
Starting point is 01:07:51 and it wasn't just baseball, but all the guys I played travel baseball with, a lot of Jayzoo kids, a lot of St. Anne's kids, a lot of Heights kids, we all would go up to Cortland Oval or St. Anne's or Forest Hills. Yeah, Fairfax as well. We used to go up there. We would always find a way to go up there with a ball and a bat and a glove and just you know, have some fun until we lost the ball because we hit it into somebody's yard. It's literally Yeah, it's the same thing. Yeah, that's one of the reasons it's so beautiful in the fence in particular, like at
Starting point is 01:08:23 Fairfax, the left side of outfield is completely open. Yeah, but the right side of outfield was a was a fence just like that. And if you hit it over that fence, the game was over. Like there wasn't another ball. Like there was the exact same climbing this fence. This fence was like the Great Wall of China. It was fucking enormous. The only difference was there wasn't like a dog that everybody's afraid of, but it was the end of the game.
Starting point is 01:08:45 If anybody had a home run over there. Yeah, nobody was going in that family's backyard. And we also played other sports. We played a roller hockey at Roxborough Elementary. They had an old basketball caged in court where they had cut the basketball hoops off at like four foot and for some reason left the posts in the ground. Oh yeah. And we would go up there roller hockey and we would play and we would play
Starting point is 01:09:08 a post and if you hit the post, it was a goal and we would play two on two, three on three, however many guys came up. The majority of the Sandlot games that we played, though, were I would always play like two on two or three on three football up at St. Ann's. Yeah, we would play it on like this, the thinner part of grass. And if you got close, it would be played. If you were on Yeah, we would play it on like this the thinner part of grass and if you got close, it would we would play. If you were on grass, we would play tackle. But if you got close to the cement, you had to do to it in touch. I remember that. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:09:33 you weren't allowed to tackle closest to that. Good rule. Nobody wanted to go home fucked up and have to explain to your mom you got fucked up. What else? Yeah. Be nice to the dorky kid who can't throw a football. No, don't be nice to him That's the whole point of the movie. You make fun of the kid until he learns to throw the baseball Yeah, but there was one guy that you know Saw it no that didn't that that realized it was getting too far. This guy has no confidence now. So we gotta you know Build him back. Yeah, we got to we got to build him back up baby. You know what I mean? Do you see that's the best part about being a friend You build somebody up just to chop them down at the knees about two minutes
Starting point is 01:10:09 later. I'm just going to be honest without, without the kids making fun of them, then he doesn't feel like he accomplishes anything. You know what I mean? You need that. You need your friends. You need it. You need your friends to cripple you with just like, and you need your parents to cripple you with just like And you need your parents to cripple you you need to embarrass the shit out of you What else have we got mvp of the movie all right who we going mvp of the movie we got squints ham porter I think porter's gotta be that porter's like porter's like my guy, Patty Banks, man. He is. He says he reminds me so much of him.
Starting point is 01:10:46 He walks in and everybody's just happier because Porter is at the house. He's going to say something just off the walls that nobody's like. All right. And you could tell like how Porter talks to everybody. Bacon has been talking to grownups like he talks to them now since he was five years old. So true. Like, why the fuck? Why are we running like this? Yeah. He's a talk to our lacrosse coach. Why do we? All right. How about how about you guys run since I'm the goalie?
Starting point is 01:11:17 Benny the Jet definitely the MVP of the movie. I think I mean, saves the day saves the ball saves smalls. 100% All right, I take it back. Wendy peppercorn was I mean, he saves the day, saves the ball, saves Smalls. 100%. All right. I take it back. Wendy peppercorn was. I mean, she was pretty. She's pretty good.
Starting point is 01:11:31 I'll be honest. I'll be. I'll take that loss. I think it's just like the old school like clothing and hairstyle is just not for me, but she was pretty good. I love the American nostalgia, just like the pure American-ness of the movie. Dude, so good, man. It's just beautiful.
Starting point is 01:11:47 They did such a good job of getting all these different ethnicities in there and, you know, baseball really brings us all together type feel. Baseball being America's sport as well. So, I'm with you. Big fan of the ragtag Sandlot guys beating the travel baseball team and their fresh new bikes and uniforms. I'm always a fan of silver spoon fucks getting their asses handed to them by working class people. So to the public schools. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:12:18 Playing. How about the way they're all just playing baseball and blue jeans? Could you think of a more uncomfortable like piece of equipment to play a sport in? They didn't have dick sporting goods back then, dude. They didn't have just like... Just chafing their asses off. Like they got to be just like jungle ride out the fucking wazoo. The 60s were a different day and age. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 01:12:42 Yeah, they must really love baseball. They're playing baseball and blue jeans. Yeah, but you got to love baseball. You did everything in fucking blue jeans back in the day. All right. Let's give it a little film club PFF grade for the movie. Jason, what we got the plot, the plot. What out of 10? What we got? Well, PFF is out of 100, right? Yeah, we're going plot.
Starting point is 01:13:01 All right. Plot. We're going out of 10. We've been doing all the other ones out of 100. Is that right? I thought we'd been doing them all out of like 8.5 or like it's been like 80, like 83. I promise you. I promise. It's all the same. It will end up being the exact same plot.
Starting point is 01:13:20 I'm going to say I think the I don't know that you can have a better plot of a movie for like a kids movie and like teaching like tools and ways to cope with all these like different things and the the the legend that like the continual theme of like these larger than life figures. I just thought it was all just it's all beautiful. I'm going it's up there. I mean, I hate to give 100, but we got to give it like an Aaron Donald level. I got to go like 90.
Starting point is 01:13:47 It's got to be like a 95. It's got to be like this thing should be defensive player of the year type plot. Right. I'm I'm down with I'm down. I don't know a movie that has a better plot. So I'm going 99. It's got nine. I will give it the great. The what's it called? The great ones.
Starting point is 01:14:02 Ninety nine. I don't know. OK. Acting acting for a kids movie. Fucking incredible. If I'm being honest with you, I thought it was unreal. Yeah, I'm with you. And then you got James Earl Jones. Gosh, just one of the best actors of our entire child. If we're being honest, he plays a blind man better than Stevie Wonder.
Starting point is 01:14:24 If we're being honest, he plays a blind man better than Stevie Wonder. Hey, he's not the only one with these accusations. Shout out to Stevie. All right. Acting. I mean for a bunch of kids, I got to go 99 again. I'm going the great one again. Go 99. I love this movie.
Starting point is 01:14:40 So all right. How well it holds up still holds up. I mean, I might be a little bias. I might be bias. Did you right. How well it holds up still holds up. I mean, I might be a little bias. I might be bias. Uh, did you have the girls watch it? I tried to. I mean, the girls are at an age. Why it is the only one that's really going to sit down and watch a movie like this. Yeah. Ellie kind of at times she got a little bit scared at like the Hercules, like when they're
Starting point is 01:15:04 squints is telling the story in the tree house and stuff like that. But to me, it holds up 99. But I think to the regular people to like the regular public probably isn't a 99. But screw the right. I mean, we're the ones writing it. So 99. It's a nostalgia for me.
Starting point is 01:15:20 Baseball. I mean, this is the essence of baseball. Yeah, I don't think there is a better baseball movie. It really hits it like the beauty of baseball. It has Americana.
