so many crazy scenarios, some rankings in there, like we said, things that could be related to football, things that could have nothing to do with football. No matter what, though, no matter what the question was, you guys brought it, and it was a ton of fun for us to do. Hopefully, it's a lot of fun for you guys to listen to as well. I am Trevor Sycamore. With me, as always, is Connor Rogers. Let's ring the bell. Welcome to the opening bell of the NFL Stock Exchange Podcast. I'm Trevor Sikma. That's Connor Rogers.

We got some people really wanted um football questions answered and then something you know some people wanted to have a little more fun with it so we're gonna serve uh all parties but my goodness i think this will be our most ridiculous episode ever it's a creative way to talk about football though like a couple of the questions are like yeah they're football based but the you guys out there you do such a

But, um... A manscaped ad. I don't know if people are ready for that one, actually. No, they're not.

We'll make them wait. But what we won't make them wait for is the... What are you opening up with? I'm very curious what you're opening up with. I think we gotta go... Okay, look. I think we gotta start with Jake's question. Because this is the very first one that you sent to me, and it is in thread form.

This question is unbelievable. Yeah, remarkable. Remarkable. Jake, just hat is off to you for coming up with this question. I feel like we had to lead off with it because it was incredible. I'll read this one. If you guys are listening and you're not sitting down, you might want to sit down because you got to follow along. And this one gets very interesting. Okay. I'm painting a picture here for you for this question. You're walking down a street in a small rural town in East Montana. Okay. You start craving

some ice cream and you head into a local ice cream shop, but the shop is empty. Confused, you walk back out on the street. And for a brief moment that you were in the shop, but the shop is empty. Confused, you walk back out on the street, and for a brief moment that you were in the shop, you realize that the streets are now completely deserted. Frantically, you bolt into various different shops around. Nobody can be found. There's not a soul to be found. Now, nighttime, you head back outside again, okay, because it was dusk, and you've been trying to find somebody. You can't find somebody. Now, it is nighttime. You head back out to the streets again. All the lights in a town all of a sudden go out.

It's pitch black. When you look up, you don't see any stars either, so you start getting freaked out. Then various green lights start to flash across the sky. Are you following me, Connor? Because I got goosebumps already. I'm with you all the way here. I read this one multiple times.

I have to admit. You hear a voice. The voice from the sky says, Hello, friend. I read this one multiple times. I have to admit. You hear a voice. The voice from the sky says, Hello, friend. I've been looking for you. Come join me up here. There are dozens of footsteps you hear behind you now, and you're scared to look.

Here's the question. To your right is a stable of horses horses to your left is a building with a built-in maze that nobody has ever solved before a half a mile ahead of you is the entrance to a catacomb rumored to be haunted and a quarter mile behind you is your car what is your next move for me i'm gonna get on a horse and ride to my car and then get in my car i think that's also my that's my gut reaction right get in the horse get to your car get the hell out of there but what if the horses are like freaked out by whatever is behind you there's a lot of bad variables here you know like what if they start freaking like what if there's like i don't know like zombies aliens i don't know what

the hell jake is putting on us well you don't know what's behind you which makes our plan pretty tough horses get scared pretty easily they do so if there's any weird noises that's why eric berry didn't mess with them eric berry not a fan of horses there i tied football into the question for good everybody's happy to do that oh man i think i'm going for the horses i think i'm going with the horse no matter what even if there's problems behind me then i just ride forwards i'm not going i'm not going to the maze because nobody's solved this before. No, it's tough. I don't know.

Can't do that. Jake didn't give me what awaits at the end of the maze. The very, very small chance you're the first person to solve it. Right. But, I mean, look. Understandably. If you've got confidence that you are able to solve it. I don't.

Well, I was going to say, would you even risk it? I don't think I would risk it. Also, what's the point of telling us that there's a haunted catacomb in front of us? He wanted to see how dangerous we're feeling. But what's in the catacomb? No. I mean, it's haunted. And who's speaking to you?

I don't know. I don't know. Speaking of... You got to evac? I don't know. I don't know. Speaking of. You got to evac. So hold on. Have you seen, have you seen, have you been to the movies lately and seen the trailer for this Nope movie? No. It kind of paints this exact picture.

Okay. There's a, there's a. I think it's a Jordan Peele movie. Oh, I think I saw the trailer on like a streaming service. And like everybody's just like looking up to the sky terrified. Yes, I did see this. Yes, yeah, yeah. This is giving me that feel.

I genuinely have goosebumps right now. I don't watch, I don't know if you watch horror movies or like scary movies or things like that. I don't, I can't. So I never did. Putting myself in this situation is freaking me the f out yeah no i'm not a big horror movie guy either i think the furthest i go is stranger things okay so that's basically where i'm at yeah which is incredible like absolutely incredible but that's about as far as i go i haven't started it yet i haven't started season four yet i won't give any spoilers but just obviously that's about as far as i go incredible this is yeah this is not we're not adventurous

in this situation i'm i'm going for the horse i'm getting i'm i think i think the horse because of the footsteps behind you i think the horse is basically your only way out the horse is your your fail-proof plan if there is one because even if you can't get back to your car you can ride forward the maze is the maze is a trick no i can't do it obviously the catacombs is like yeah not the dumb guy horror move right yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah really good uh situation presented by jake and i'm not surprised we had the same what a hell of a question to start us off here. Daniel asked this next one, a little bit more football centric.

Would you rather fight 100 duck sized Jordan Davises or one Jordan Davis sized duck? This is a classic from locked on NFL drafts, fan Fridays, where everybody would always give us, would you rather fight this many ducks or this many, like whatever size ducks or whatever it is. And Ben and I always came to the conclusion that you're probably always picking the higher amount, smaller object that feels like where you go.

Cause like really, if I had, hold up. Are you about to tell me that you're going to fight one Jordan Davis sized duck? Absolutely. What? How are you going to attack this thing? At least I can try to tire it out.

100 Jordan Davises the size of ducks. I would have my limbs ripped off in 22 seconds. A hundred's a lot. A hundred's a lot. Think about how strong they are. How compact they are. We'll talk about a 380-pound duck out here. Yeah, but at least you can kind of move around it a little bit because it is a duck still.

Ducks are not very nimble. Are we in an octagon? What's the situation here like is the space limited or can we just run for fun we will we will say we're in the octagon because it is a fight we're in the octagon say it's a fight it's it's las vegas okay it's a lot the lightweight title of the world's on the line and we can't get out of it a hundred's a lot did you see the video of the orangutan yes of course i couldn't miss it the moron getting close to the orangutan cage and then getting his shirt ripped off what was his plan before it grabbed him the thing is that like listen people are so stupid yeah when it comes to

very dumb they think they're cartoon characters right they do they 100 they think that animals are cartoon characters that is a great way to put it and like whether it's whether it's like marine life or things at the zoo or whatever like don't be an idiot i can't tell you how many i can't tell you how many videos i see of people who are like oh let me put my hand close to an alligator and then all of a sudden i don't have a hand anymore okay that's on you my guy yep don't feel bad for you i don't feel bad for the people at the zoo you're just an idiot if you end up doing something like that all right i'm going i'm going 100 i'm going 100 you really are yeah i'm going what's. What's your plan here?

Are you just kicking and punching? Yeah, I'm just going to kick the crap out of them. 100 duck size. How big are we talking? Jordan Davis is. How big is a duck here? Ducks are 100 of them is a lot. And they are Jordan Davis's.

They're strong and fast. Measurables of a duck what's the mock draftable of it what are they like they're like 20 by 12 ducks let's see okay so the very the second link that i have i literally put in measurables of a duck and the second link that i have here in google is ducks qb1 justin herbert measuring 6'6", 227 pounds. The sports world drives the world. It really does. All right. So a mallard duck is about 20 to 26 inches.

I'm assuming that means in height. And they weigh about three and a half pounds. All right. No. Okay. 100. Now I get what you mean. I'm still fighting the one

jordan davis you're an animal you're an animal size duck it's a big ass duck look if you get out of the octagon with the belt in that regard you will have earned it my friend my thought is like if i can poke out its eyes i have a chance oh here we go where a hundred ducks i just know i'm gonna get slowly ripped apart which i did a hundred duck-sized jordan davises would just dismantle me i think i have a chance i think i have a chance no i don't think i have a chance i think i have no you don't you absolutely let me rephrase that i am not gonna be the guy i'd love that people think this that thinks they could beat a gigantic animal. I want to make sure we're – I don't stand a chance.

But I think there's at least a plan. I don't have a plan for – This is a good ratio, I got to say. Some of these questions are very, like, some of them are like, oh, like 12 or 1. It's like, okay, I'd rather do 12. 100, you're bringing stamina into it. It's a lot.

You got to train for this bad boy. You got to keep the cardio and the heart rate up for the three months leading up to the fight. You got a lot to think about here there's no doubt about it what's your thoughts on people that that feed uh birds like random pigeons no yeah no we just it got so bad in hoboken that they this town had to ban it it's illegal because people feed the birds and now we just have these gigantic pigeons everywhere just shitting all over the place no no like unless you are i mean unless you are like no unless giving them like actual bird feed every day too yeah that's all another problem but like even

that it's like bad like you like you're you are messing you are messing with how they get their food. You are messing with how that animal lives its life the way that they should. So, yes, you are – don't feed – don't be dumb. That's the big takeaway here from the earlier part of the podcast. Just don't be dumb with animals. I have a moral conflict with this because there's an old lady in my neighborhood, like old, old. And I think all she does is smoke cigarettes and feeds the pigeons. But she does it in my neighborhood like old old and i think all she does is smoke cigarettes and feeds the pigeons but she does it in my neighborhood bad i don't know how to tell her like and i haven't this i've lived here for a pretty long time too and i still haven't grown

up the courage to ask her to stop because i think it's all she looks forward to is smoking cigarettes and feeding pigeons these are bad things connor and i walk by every day and i like snarl at her but i'm like i just because i hate pigeons so much so much and they sit on my skylights all the time and just shit all day but i can't new york living yeah living yeah dude all right keep it moving The dynasty grill asks this next one. What's on you guys's bucket list. What is something that you've always wanted to do, but you haven't yet? I have one that I haven't completed yet.

Okay. I do plan on going to every single state. Ooh, nice. I've been, you know how many you're at. Yeah. I've been to 60% of the country.

I think last time I looked. Let's see. I've got to be close to 35. It's funny because if you're watching, you could see this. It's like literally one part of the country that I haven't been to. Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? Like the whole Dakotas, Montana, Wyoming situation.

Is it just an app? Yeah, it's called Ben b-e-n that would that's one that i think i i'm i'm pretty damn close to because i'll knock out a ton of those in one stretch okay that's cool that's awesome and then i'll start working on the rest of the world that yeah that's a clear-cut one for me i don't i don't really have something that like i haven't done that i always think about wanting to do like i haven't been skydiving but i don't like i'm not almost feeling like oh my god i need to go do it. Yeah, like I have the, I wrote a couple down

and like I have the stereotypical, the three stereotypical ones that I have that I would really love to do someday. Go skydiving is one of them. I think that that would be a really cool feeling that you can't really capture anywhere else. I've only been scuba diving once in my life and it was in the Florida Keys

and it was one of the most fun, incredible times of my life. That's a one i would love to go to australia and scuba dive or just like swim around the great barrier reef with you on that awesome see the pyramids is another one just because it's just like wild right but those are the stereotypical three uh i have get married on my list which hopefully is a bucket list that I get to do in, you know, a year, two years' time. Yeah, a countdown should be on for that one. And then I have two that are out of left field, okay?

Me, Guy Fieri. What would you say to him? You are God. You know, I don't know. Like, I've watched, brother, I've watched, when people ask, like, hey, what is your comfort TV show? Wait, really? It's Triple D. Really?

It's Triple D. Yes, I will just like if I am bored and Triple D is on, I'm just going to throw it on, man. I love cooking. I love people like being happy over food. I love learning like how you prepare all kinds of stuff. And Guy Fieri is just like an absolute legend. So I'd be like, that's a funny one. That's funny.

And then the other funny one, which is maybe actually serious, be on The Price is Right. I think we can get you on there. You want to be on the show? Yes, I want to be on the show. But I've got to like, I've got to get past it. Now, I'm out of my prime right now. When I was in college,

I had a class schedule one semester where Tuesdays and thursdays i didn't have class from like 9 a.m to like 11 a.m so i would go back to my dorm and price right was on every day so i was like i was a damn shark by the end of that semester like i was yelling at people on the tv like you're an idiot yeah how could you how could you do this so i think if i get back in your shape if i get back in a price right shape we can make it happen so i think i really think we can make this happen this is good pr for the price is right do they have a

they have a twitter account okay i've never even i've never even like tried to get on yet though so it's i i don't know if i don't think i'm ready yet or what but i feel like that's a bucket list so if it'd be hilarious i really campaign to get you on this and we get you on and say they give you like three guest tickets do i get to go yeah 100 okay well i mean obviously a list is number one right right elisa has to go but if you yeah if you if you continue the campaign and you get me on this show then i'm gonna work on this i think we can get you on the campaign and you get me on the show, then. I'm going to work on this. I think we can get you on The Price is Right. We might have enough connections. We might have enough.

Yeah, we might be able to pull this off. That's a good one. Do you have a specific sports one? Because I have a specific sports one for a bucket list. Yes, I do. I really want to see. And I've had opportunities, but there's been plenty of years that this happens. I just haven't taken the initiative to see, and I've had opportunities, but there's been plenty of years that this happens.

I just haven't taken the initiative to do it because I usually am working. I'd really like to see the Jets play at Lambeau Field. I know that's kind of a random one, but I've never been to Lambeau. I've been to a lot of college stadiums for work. I've not been to a lot of NFL stadiums. And Lambeau is the one that I know the day before you could do the tour. There's a lot of different things you could do there so one year when I can I will go see the Jets play at Lambeau Field that's my main sports one I would like to get to every baseball stadium

but it's just it's really tough um there's a lot of baseball it's a lot of baseball stadiums and like I've been to a lot of cities around the u.s and i don't really like it's not nothing against them it's just like there's no reason to go again besides that so like they do it for one thing yeah that's my closest thing to a sports one what about you well okay i have two one go to the masters i want to that's a good one yeah that's a good one that i have oh world cup i would die to go to the world cup oh yeah i would die to go they're they're here next you know that yes in four years they're in yeah i'm already thinking about it no okay we're gonna we're gonna make that one happen because i agree with you we'll do that but the other one that i have uh do a broadcast of a

pre-season game for the bucks that would be agreed that would be funny you said that i think about this a lot i'd love to do that man that is a that is a true career and sports bucket list of mine is to one day do color commentary for a preseason broadcast of my hometown team okay one i love that and i'm stealing it i agree i would love to call a preseason game for the Jets or even the Giants here in my backyard either one obviously the Jets would mean a little more um you know it's funny you said that this was a really good point made to me um by Adam Lefkoe who I work at the Bleacher Report one year he said to me this is years ago but it was stuck with me he goes

his theory on preseason was that at least for like the first and last game he's like they should use more draft people to color commentate the games because the reality is the traditional broadcasters and it's not their fault don't know the guys in the game in the second half right right and i and when he and i'm like that is so spot on and i wonder if we get there or even if your team have an alternate broadcast right or make it the third guy like you still have your color guy you still have your play-by-play guy but you bring in a draft guy and when you think about it there's so many draft guys that are also connected to a team in some ways we all grew up football fans right like you're the box me with the jets like you think there's there's millions of guys like that every guy i think even daniel jeremiah does stuff

for the chargers or did like it's well like Mina does stuff for the Rams the Rams yes right perfect example right I think teams will eventually really they'll realize there's a lot of value in preseason broadcast I'd love to in a different way that's a great one I think that would be uh that would be a lot of fun uh Johnny Johnny came up with this next one Johnny text three football question said it's often they say that only five teams a season are truly in contention for the Super Bowl. Who are the five teams this year? I bet we have the same.

Yeah, I don't know if there's a lot of creativity in this one. I bet we have the same three. I mean, I'll kick right out of the gate the Bills and Bucks. Those are two that we have that are the same. The Chiefs? That's the third one that I thought that we would have that is the same. You kind of, by law, as much as I am picking against them this year, have to include the Rams?

I don't have the Rams. Okay, so I agree. If you're going by law of like they won the Super Bowl last year, the Rams would not be in my top five most likely. Bills, Bucks, Chiefs. I would, this is so reckless, but I'd put the Chargers in there. I also have the Chargers.

Yeah, I feel like that's wild. I also have the Chargers. And then Green Bay. I also have the Packers. That's it. And if you're a Rams fan, I'm sorry. It's like no disrespect. I'm often really not a believer in,

I think football, it's almost, I know teams have done it, obviously. But repeating in football, it's just, it's extremely difficult to do. It's so hard. It's extremely difficult to do. I think the Rams are, I think in that next group of teams,

you'd put the Bengals, the Ravens, the Rams, the Broncos I think that's it I don't I don't really think the Cowboys are contenders so I wouldn't really put them in there yeah they would have to make a big jump in like internal areas they didn't make enough external moves I don't think the 49ers are going to be there I don't think so I don't have faith in the Cardinals. No, I actually think they're a regression team this year. No.

Yeah, that's it. Interesting. That's about it. Are we forgetting something? No, the Chiefs. We already had the Chiefs. I was trying to think of the fourth team, but it was the Raiders. You know what's the most interesting one, and it's literally impossible to talk about,

and I'm not going to recommend that we even do? The Browns. Oh, right. Well, it's impossible. It impossible it's impossible it's impossible but i would not include them in the top 10 at all yeah i wouldn't either johnny also asked a non-football question you get to play as one superhero in war zone full powers and everything who do you pick so he's talking about like call of duty war zone that's what i was wondering so you get to be you're playing warzone but you're a superhero that's actually a really fascinating question i mean the the hulk right i mean you the hulk can't die that's a good point because he doesn't bullets bullets don't do any bullets don't do anything to him and it'd be a

fun way to kill people in warzone you just grab them and you just like literally like throw them hundreds of miles away you know yeah meleeing people in words i feel like that's funny i feel like that would be my answer yeah i think that's the one i think a soldier just to be cheeky and have the same even playing feel but just be better than everybody oh man it's true i think there's a lot of fun if you're being batman if you get all of his stuff. Ooh, Batman. Like, do you get the Batmobile? That's kind of a game changer in Warzone. Yeah, I would roll with Batman. I get your point about the Hulk.

If the game is finishing and, like, I know the maps change, but when I did play, like, at hospital and you're Spider-Man and you can just shoot around everyone. You're talking old map. No, I didn't make the move when they changed the map. just play rebirth now for everybody out there that's what i was doing when i before i stopped so there you go i think the rebirth actually so much better a good time that's yeah it's a way better time okay uh what is your most controversial holiday take i don't like thanksgiving and i know this is like okay let me rephrase that i don't like Thanksgiving. And I know this is like, okay, let me rephrase that.

I don't think Thanksgiving is like, everybody gets so fired up for Thanksgiving. And I think I've said this on a pod before. Thanksgiving is, everybody's like, oh, you just eat and drink and watch football. It's awesome. And I'm just like, yeah, it's not that, usually the football sucks honestly just

being on and it's still football bad football is better than no football um the football usually is like not very good thanksgiving food's obviously good it's not the best tier of food for the most part it's true you're eating better at Christmas, or at least you should be. Yeah, it's a lot of work. Not that I'm like the top chef of my family that makes all the food. Oh, wow. See, I don't make shit. I don't really do much either, but just a lot of the chores. My mom and my aunts and uncles, they handle a lot of the food.

Yeah, you're right. I can't even complain about that. I don't do enough to complain about that. I just don't. I don't know. It's all right. The fall is the best season't know it's all right the fall is the best season that helps thanksgiving for sure and like that's it that's a controversial take that you don't like thanksgiving that's controversial i don't know if i dislike it i just think it's very low on the holiday power rankings look it's not a top five holiday probably i don't really i don't the way okay i'll just say like this the way that we celebrate the fourth of july i i just i'm not into i don't what do you traditionally do for fourth of july i mean

i do i so like traditionally i'll either like go to go to a pool or like go out on the water or like something like that like when i lived in florida we would go boating and don't get me wrong like boating or like a pool day like that stuff is awesome but unfortunately the holiday is built around like people drinking a lot and then operating a motor vehicle on the water and like that's not really good and it's that's bad unfortunately like encouraged by a lot of people to do those things which is really dangerous and to like I don't care about fireworks i really do i really don't i wasn't like that person who was like super into it growing up and and instead it just is like hell on earth for a lot of dogs and like ptsd for some people and it's just like i don't know man i i don't i don't

mean to seem like un-american out here like i like i don't like uh like i don't like the chance to celebrate just the way that we celebrate for the july i don't think it's a bad take i am a big fan of the fourth of july but i am not a fan of i don't like fireworks i like having a good time like i my ideal fourth of july day is either like at the beach or at the boat or like really like on a pool like some some pool where you're just like with a ton of people and you're hanging out you're playing cornhole or beer pong or whatever and you're just having a good time but like yeah you're at a pool you know when you start throwing again like motor vehicles into it um people start to make some bad decisions and i've heard of too many bad decisions coming from florida so it's just it's not my favorite holiday for those reasons going out for fourth of july is a disaster i've learned never oh it's a it's not my favorite holiday for those reasons. Going out for Fourth of July is a disaster.

I could never. Oh, it's a disaster. Dude, we're ordering pizza at 7 p.m. And we're in. Yeah, we're going to be in somewhere. I mean, obviously, I spent a lot. What do you think about what do you think about New Year's now that we're on this topic? Man, I've gone really back and forth on New Year's.

I used to. You live in New York, though. Yeah, but I'm not i'm not here for new year's a lot as much as you would think oh yeah the last couple new years well the last couple because the pandemic so it's not really real new year's i've been around but before that i had a stretch of new year's where one year i was in costa rica another year i was in la for work another year i was in san anton another year I was in San Antonio for work so and I always found New Year's like when you're not home to be so much fun like it's just like

it's just people out having a good time but when I lived in this like way back growing up like when I wasn't near the city New Year's was like didn't mean anything like there was like if somebody didn't have a party like people had a party but then like you're posted up for the night new year's here or in a big city in general or somewhere it's a freaking blast okay i need to do it i need to do a big like you because i think it's a little overrated you know it can be really i've had some great times on new years but i do genuinely think that it's a little overrated. Okay.

All right. This is an interesting one. I hope you're ready for it. Strap in, because I prepared for this one. Nick asked this. Benjamin Solak, so my old co-host, versus Connor Rogers, my current co-host, in a steel cage match with Tampa Bay Trey as the special guest.

Walk us through that match. Are you ready for it? Please. I love this. I got the script for you okay am i who's the heel oh you're about to find out okay you're about to find out all right i hope it's me ben starts off the match obviously just trying to get away like you're stronger than ben you're bigger than ben ben's just like trying to get away he's trying to like be cheeky with

you know like you like go off the ropes and like like a manager like slide under your legs or something he's trying to get a little cheeky but he realizes that's not working okay connor expectedly dominates the early parts of the match gets a few shots in there gets a little arm bar on him he gets out of it when connor's not looking, Ben gives him a low blow kick to the groin. Okay. That's and like, I'm distracted. Conor's distracted. Something happens.

And Ben just gives Conor a low, a low blow kick to the groin. All right. Then Ben realizes he has the chance to escape, get out of the cage and then get out, win the match. So Ben climbs up the cage to escape. Conor gets up,

follows him, catches up to him. Now they're fighting on top of the cage to escape connor gets up follows him catches up to him now they're fighting on top of the cage and he and connor goes up to ben to undertaker choke slam him through the cage back onto the ring but i don't want to see that happen because then ben's gonna die so i rattle the cage and you just fall through the floor of the cage. Ben's still up there, and you fall through on the top of the cage, which I didn't mean to happen, but it happens, okay? So then you fall through, and you're laying on the canvas,

and then Ben sees an opportunity to get the upper hand in the match. So then from the top of the cage, Ben five-star frog splashes straight onto you. Okay. Do I feel anything when he does that? You do, but you're both hurt. You're, you're hurt from the fall. Ben's hurt. Cause he didn't train his ribs well enough to,

to do a five-star frog splash from that, from that point. So both are hurt, but Connor gets up first. Now he's obviously super pissed off. So he's about to just go straight up at Ben and, you know, no beating around the bush, pin him, hurt him, get the belt. But from the roof, jumps down at Ben's new coworker

and our old coworker, Austin Gale, okay? To come in, he RKOs Connor out of nowhere. I can't stand, I can't have this as a special guest yeah what are you doing you're the ref so then i give austin the sweet chin music when he gets up so austin's knocked out cold by this time ben gets up connor's on the floor from getting rko'd by austin ben tries to climb up to the third rope to again give Conor a five-star frog splash, but by the time he did, because it took him so long, he goes for it, but Conor rolls out of the way.

Ben misses. Conor covers him. Conor wins the cage match. Unbelievable script, number one. Like, you should be writing Raw, Monday Night Raw right now. I thought at some point, like, you were just going to throw my lifeless body

over Ben's lifeless body as the special guest referee. I could have. And quick count it. The Austin interruption I was not ready for. I thought Bill Simmons was going to come out of the tunnel at some point. And just try to, whatever way he can, give the ringer better publicity by Ben pulling off the upset. Unbelievable. Unbelievable match. So there you go that's a great pay-per-view i'd pay 70 for that

Rank these four things from most important to the success of an NFL franchise to the least important.

Owner, GM, head coach, quarterback. Tricky. It is. quarterback hmm tricky it's kind of because my thought is a quarter a great quarterback can overcome the other three pretty much everything yeah

but I don't think you find a great quarterback and support him without the other three right so I would not this might shock people because a lot of people their instant answer is quarterback but i'm treating this like i have an nfl franchise with a blank slate like i don't have any of the things i'm just putting it all together so i would argue man i would argue the head coach is the most important

because i think the right head coach can draft the quarterback. This is tough. It's really tough. Because a bad owner can ruin the whole thing. You've got to kind of divide it up. Are we talking like long-term sustained franchise success? Or getting off the ground or do you want to win a super bowl like what do you want to do because i don't want a super bowl

it's quarterback right but like obviously sustained success i think the best owners in football go a long way i'd still probably because you know i looked at it this way i think that the gm has their hands in a lot of things right the contracts the the free agents the draft who they hire as head coaches and assistant coaches right so much of that goes into it and so like i i immediately go well if you got a great gm you got everything that does so many things for you but even a great gm man how many times do they miss just because that's the name of the game? You know, you sign a guy to a perfect contract and he just happens to get hurt, right?

You draft a guy that you thought was absolutely perfect for you. And he just personality-wise, life-wise, things happen. He didn't work out for you, right? You could be the best GM in the world. And your job and the decisions that you make could be a little bit less of a percentage than what would be like a 50-50 coin flip. If you're a Hall of Fame quarterback, you're going to be good every Sunday, basically. You're going to be as good as you need to be every Sunday. The same thing can be said with a head coach.

So I think the order that I would choose is head coach, quarterback, owner, GM. I agree. And it's crazy to put GM at the bottom, but so much of their job is like baseball, if you will. Part of your job is failing. That's just what it is. It's accepted. Even the best GMs in the world are going to fail.

Now, you don't want a terrible GM and be able to fail catastrophically all the time. Obviously you can't have that, but just off the top of my head, thinking about things in that way, that would probably be my order. If you wanted to flip owner and GM to be a little bit more hands-on in your list, I could be okay with that, but that's probably what I would come up with. Yeah. I'm pretty close there it's tough with the i do think the right head coach can

help the men to correct the roster as much too like the gm the gm is important it's not to minimize the gm but man the wrong the wrong owner can poison your entire organization right the owner can't be the last right right right i actually now that i'm thinking of it i think i'm going to change it i think i'm going to change it quarterback still number one for me i do well quarterback i had it at number two i'm gonna move it up for number one okay i'm gonna say quarterback head coach owner gm that's what i'm gonna say okay that's what i'll say i'll say a head coach and finding the head coach.

Finding the head coach can bring stability to your organization unlike anything else. That's true. That's very true. That's very true. Great question, though. Great question. Really good. Very thought-provoking.

I would love to hear in the comments section what you guys think about that one and all these questions, of course. If you've got opinions on them, if you heard something that we said and you're just like, what? Let us hear it. Let us hear it in the comments. We'd love to go back and forth with you. Jake asked this next one.

What are the best live sporting event experiences that you guys have ever had? Oh, man. Ironically, one of them that comes to mind, my team didn't even win. When I went to a World Series game in 2015, the Mets lost. But being at the World Series for your team

is like in New York, is unlike anything else. Michael Conforto was a rookie and hit two home runs. It was, that is a pretty, that's a pretty unmatched experience. Couple Rangers playoff games that have been awesome. I didn't go to any this year, but in the past. Hmm. Going to Baton Rouge is just one of the best experiences ever so and and madison wisconsin

those are the two college stops that i always consider up there with anything so i went to university of florida for anybody that does not know that and i was there in 2012. I went there from 2012, 2013, those football seasons, and then I graduated in 2014. In 2012, that was the year that Will Muschamp had that crazy defense with Sheree Floyd and Dante Fowler and Dominic Easley and John Bostic and Matt Elam and Josh Evans. I was going to say, was Matt Elam on that team? Yes, he was on that team.

Oh, man, he was good. Luchez Purifoy and Marcus Roberson, who were good college corners but weren't good NFL corners. But anyways, that – Florida? No way. Jelani Jenkins, Larrington McCray, everybody was on that team. It was such a fantastic and talented football team. LSU came to town that year, and that was Zach Mettenberger,

Odell Beckham, Jarvis jarvis landry like all those dudes were on that team they were number three in the country at that time i think florida was right around 10 and that was my first year really experiencing college football and to go to that game in the swamp at 3 30 the primetime sec game of the week and to watch florida to that game in the swamp at 3.30, the primetime SEC game of the week, and to watch Florida win that game, the sights and the sounds and the atmosphere are just unmatched, man. The only other example that I have is Florida years later. I think this was 2015.

Had to be 2015. Had to be 2015 because I graduated and I went back for a game. It was a night game. Florida was playing against Ole Miss again in the swamp. old miss was ranked number three again at the time they had all those crazy receivers um laquan treadwell was on that team too and it's like they were supposed to be this incredible juggernaut offense and florida absolutely shut him down and nighttime in the swamp brother it was gotta get out there dude it was an experience that is just that that level of college football which we can sit here and we could go like oh gainesville is the best all

tallahassee's all madison wisconsin when you get to that elite tier it's just an unforgettable experience every single time you go yep so getting to see that i think those two are the big to stand out for me and then another one that I'll give a shout out to. I went to a high school that had a really good basketball program. We were a really small high school, but we consistently went to the state final four and the state championships. And we had a really good player on our team one year. His name was David Magley.

And he was the son of the coach. And we ended up going to States that year. And he was fantastic. He ends up graduating. He goes to Western Kentucky to play basketball. So, all you know everybody who went to the school you know we're rooting for him we become like you know surrogate western kentucky fans yeah well sure enough they make the tournament his freshman season and the tournament their little uh part of the bracket happened to be in tampa florida so a lot of us went up to tampa florida went to uh it wasn't amelie arena at the time but that arena in tamp, Florida. So a lot of us went up to Tampa, Florida, went to,

it wasn't Amelie Arena at the time, but that arena in Tampa, and we went to go see this game. They were the 12 seed and they were playing against Drake, which was the five seed. Game goes back and forth. You could tell that there were a lot of people who were there who were cheering for Drake because they just had the five seed winning in their bracket, right? And the game, I think Drake was up to with like 10 seconds left,

Western Kentucky inbounds the ball. They do the play where the guy gets to the top of the three point line. He goes to his right. And then he basically lays it off to a guy who's many steps beyond the three point line, but he's got an open look. Cause nobody else is out that deep. He fires it up buzzer beater. They score, they win by one. many steps beyond the three point line, but he's got an open look because nobody else is out that deep. He fires it up, buzzer beater, they score, they win by one. I remember going, so Western Kentucky won.

And I just remember with our little group of like 20, 30 people losing our minds to seeing a NCAA buzzer beater for a team that we were cheering for. So that's another story that I wanted to share. Being at college basketball, and I'm not a big college basketball fan. This year, first year in a while, I didn't even make a bracket. But being at good college basketball games is another thing that's pretty unmatched. I went to Albany, obviously, and Albany's basketball team was,

in their conference, really good for a long time. They would pretty consistently make the tournament as a 15 or a 16 seed. Because it's such a tight environment like you're so close to the court and like feel everything that it's basketball is college basketball is unbelievable i was trying to think oh one more that i've mentioned before like a sneaky great stop is tailgating in seattle for the university of washington if you could sailgate. Beautiful. It's sailgate.

Yeah. That's the, that's like the unique experience of it. You, you tailgate out on a boat and then you pull up to the stadium and walk right up. Yeah. It's, it's a,

if anyone listening to this right now, you don't know what I'm talking about. Just Google, uh, what University of Washington sailgating and you will see the picture of all the boats next to the stadium i'm looking for images right now dude that's awesome holy cow it's unbelievable especially i was there in october really right there yeah oh like the captain of the boat dropped me off at the stadium that's sick that's amazing dude this is sick.

Dude, okay. We got to do that. We got to go. We got to do it. We got to go sailgating at some point because that's amazing. I mean, it's up there, quietly up there. Would love to do it.

Would love to do it. Mitch asked this next one. When do you guys think time travel will be invented and which movie slash fictional property do you think that it will closely resemble? I don't know if time, I mean, is time travel ever? Look how serious he is with this question too oh yeah dude yeah you gotta get these are these are gonna be is time travel ever gonna be invented because if it was wouldn't we already know no are you a big interstellar guy yeah okay i mean like that that movie to me it's not

obviously like the best explanation of like time and compared to like you're saying like going through black holes and shit i'm saying like i don't think we'll ever invent time travel but the concept of time like bending time yeah like i don't we'll never we're never gonna invent you can't invent time travel like i don't it's not gonna happen um that's just what i thought of though is like the concept of time is interesting. Like being in another universe and time being different because of the speed. Yeah. Yes, this is a science podcast, folks.

The interstellar point's an interesting one. Yeah, that's what I thought of right away. That's like the closest thing I think of when I think of the concept of time. are right it's not really i don't believe it too much no i'd be pretty wild what if i was just like a closet like time travel i don't want to say conspiracy theorist but connoisseur like you really are like yeah like i was like i'm searching for it in my free time like people go what are you doing your free time oh you know, try to search for a way to time travel. I do think Interstellar was on to something way too early for anyone at the time to understand that the planet is just slowly being ruined.

Well, of course. And now everybody, like, watches that movie years later and they're like, oh, man, it was a little ahead of its time. I remember, like, some of the YouTube stuff I've watched, the top comments always, like, this movie was on to something. Right, right. It's like, oh this movie was on to something. Right. Right. It's like, oh, shit.

Unfortunately so. Very sad. We laugh. Yeah, we laugh. But it's not going to be funny for. Markel. Markel has this next one. If you and Connor played a full 11 on 11 game of football,

teams made it completely of Trevors and Connors, which positions would you guys be the most and least successful and who would win? So the problem is I think we, with our builds, we would be, we'd be similar in where we would like me and Trevor are holding down the line. You used to power lift. Yeah, but not anymore. Like not, not competitively anymore. Here's the negative with that. My shoulders, I can not throw a football.

Ooh, I got you beat then. Yeah. Like I could throw a football, but I'm not throwing beat then. Yeah, like I could throw a football But I'm not throwing a football the way I did when I was like 19 okay. All right, it's pretty bad. We're spreading out. We're going to air raid You're gonna you're still gonna you're still gonna whoop my ass in the trenches. We're running the triple option We are absolutely running the triple option Which would be an interesting Trevor's air trip the Trevor's running the air raid versus the Connors running the triple option. Which would be an interesting... The Trevors running the air raid versus the Connors running the triple option.

We should do something where... How do we Madden Sim that? We Madden Sim it where our creative players all have to have the same rating, but the attributes to get there can be different. And then we Sim it. That'd be really funny. Wait, speaking of, I haven't talked about the Madden sim yet.

Yes. Oh my gosh. Okay, I've got to bring this up. I forgot about this. You guys remember when we did the under 25 draft, right? The under 25 draft. That wasn't a week ago, was it? No, it was two weeks ago.

It was two weeks ago. Yeah. Jared Weber, who's a big listener of the pod, sex addict if he wants to call himself that.'s a devout listener of the podcast he put both me and connor's rosters into madden the under 25 teams and then he simulated it so i'm going to give our producers the screenshots of the stats so you guys can see them if you're watching it on youtube but buddy i don't know how to tell you this my team i heard my team got the dub my i have some questions got the dub out here okay he gave all my players to the bucks he gave all connor's players to the jets it was a close game though 27 to 24 it was good offensive yards gained. Okay. Passing yards, I had 312.

You had 208. Rushing yards. Dude, you had more rushing yards than me? How is that possible? Well, my question is where... I saw the picture of the box score. And curiously, Jamar Chase was not in the receiving... I might have gotten hurt. Yeah, I would like to know what happened in this game. Jonathan taylor didn't even rush for 100 yards he only got 79 yards yeah but dk

metcalf went off what's it did go bananas you had you had justin jefferson nobody topped 100 yards though our receivers were too uh were too thick you know what the biggest standout of this whole thing is to me devin white going absolutely beef on your defense just taking Devin White for me playing against the Bucks and him treating it like a revenge game going absolutely wild you guys can see it on the screen right now if you haven't yeah Devin White turning into uh you gotta pick Lewis you got a sack he had nine solo tackles he was an absolute king but you know what insane you know what I But I lost. Didn't matter.

Didn't matter. Tough go of it. All right, what do we got next? Pick a theme song for the following head coaches. Bill Belichick, Brandon Staley, Robert Sala, Pete Carroll, and Dan Campbell. I only got two of them that I thought made sense to me. I thought the Belichick one, it has to be the Stone Cold Steve Austin theme song because it's been memed too many times of him coming to the Super Bowl.

And then Dan Campbell is Through the Fire and Flames from Dragon Force. Oh, so for Dan Campbell, I was thinking Triple H's theme from Motorhead. Ooh. Yeah. Yeah, Dan Campbell's got a little bit of that too. Time to play the game.

That's also... Kind of fits him real nice. The other three are tough. Yeah, the other three. I could not think of the other three, so we might have to circle back to this one. This next one's from Jesus. Which team would make more sense for Baker Mayfield to join

if he had the choice between the Tennessee Titans, the Indianapolis Colts, the Seattle Seahawks, or the New York Giants? So, like, is he the starting quarterback no matter what? Because, like, the Titans have Tannehill, the Colts have Matt Ryan. No, I think that's a factor here. It's got to be Seattle, right?

It would have to be Seattle, because you still have Tyra Locker, you still have DK Metcalf. Yeah. You got your offensive line got better. You got Kenneth Walker. The Giants are interesting if you think he beats out Daniel Jones. the giants are really interesting you're going to work with brian dable if he's healthy yeah my answer is the giants i know i actually really like the giants for him

i don't think the giants like him for them but uh that that's a that's a tough one the giants i think i'd go to the giants well the giants have a better defense than seattle i feel like they will yes right yeah yeah yeah yes it's actually a giants would be nice for baker mayfield once again dexter lawrence they've got um leonard williams they have cave on tibideau they've got aziz ojalary oh yeah they've got uh xavier mckinney yeah they're gonna be better i don't know know James Bradbury anymore, which is not great. The corner thing is a problem in that system. We'll survive.

Tough one. Seattle or Giants? Colts and Titans are out. I think I'm going with the Giants here. Phil asks this next question. When you're out with family or friends at a restaurant, the waiter asks, do you want the checks separate or together? What's the best course of action?

You always get the awkward silence from everyone. Once they ask the question, were you ever a waiter? Trev? No, I was not. Um, I kind of wish that I was though.

Cause I wish I had that life experience. You know what? I don't regret it. No, I know that there's, there's a lot of like, I don't, I don't want to call them like little jobs or like jobs that you could have

when you're in like high school or in college that like, I kind you could have when you're in, like, high school or in college. Like, I kind of wish I had just for the almost, like, life knowledge of it. Yes. He's doing landscaping in Florida every summer. Well, yeah, I would rather be doing that. But, man, so you should, when you, if you're out with a really big party, you should try to brace for this. Because what Phil said is, is like the awkward silence from everyone looking around and then the waiter's gotta like walk away again and then is it a

major inconvenience it depends how big your party is okay if you're out like splitting a check if you're me and you're out to dinner right whatever just bullshitting we you know we each get an entree and beer and the waiter comes and go do you want could we split actually you don't even need to split the check you just put the two credit cards down that's the easiest way to do it right because when you're in the pos system as a waiter you just put the amount half on one card and half on the other that's it even splitting the check isn't really that difficult but it's better to just give them the two credit cards um now if you got like 12 people and you all need separate checks dude that takes forever yeah forever and there's you're handling a lot of other tables right because really let's give you're out with 12 people it's like a day that

everybody's off like friday night saturday brunch sunday so the chances are the restaurant's busy i think that if it was like if it was like seven or eight people or more i'd i'd probably just default do it on one check but then it's also like are you with enough people that are gonna venmo you is is that is the next issue right yeah so venmo changed the game when I was a waiter I don't know Venmo wasn't what it was right now so nobody did that everybody asked for split checks now most people just go I'll handle it you guys Venmo me right right which is the adult thing to do which is the adult thing to do for sure for sure if you if you believe that they're going to Venmo you back but also that that's a problem too.

You know, as long as I know that everybody's going to, like, I would know that everybody would Venmo me back, I would out of default at that point, if you got a huge party, be like, nah, just put it on check. Because, my guy, credit card points. You know what it's about. You get the rewards.

I mean, you talk about this all the time. Right, right. Pick up a good credit card 30 of our off-air conversations travel whether it's travel stuff or cash back whatever it is it just makes life easier but 100 if you don't know everybody well enough to pay you back then it gets a little dicey yeah and then it opens the door there's always that person in the party that's like well i didn't drink right and it's like i'm not doing the math for you to save four dollars well if it's something like that i don't give like i don't give a shit with that i

would pay for that no question exactly but you don't know the party you're risking that one of the people in the party is going to make a stink about that i'll say this though as a former waiter i would take splitting the checks over the mess that no offense to everybody with kids i love your you have no problem with your kids they're fine the mess that kids leave at a restaurant is waiter fear number one dude besides not getting tipped which doesn't need to be said crayons tip food you spill drinks the floor engrossed with stuff yeah oh my god you what? A lot of people will tell you this. I work in the food service. You get like food.

You get waiter nightmares or dreams for like years after years. Seriously. I had one like a couple months ago for the first time in five years. And when I woke up, I was like, holy shit, it's been a long time since I had one of those.

All right. Just a handful more before we're going to wrap it up here. Johnny asked this one. Who's your favorite NFL player of your lifetime that did not play for your favorite team I actually wrote down some names for every sport just because I was

in the mood after this question but who's your guy so for football when I was really young it was Brett Favre on the Packers which was pretty easy because like you know obviously the Jets and the Packers there's no rivalry there. He did become a Jet, but I was also a big

Chad Pennington guy. When he became a Jet, I was like, I'm not mad about this, but there is some big conflict here. Then Pennington went to the Dolphins and they won a division. There's a lot of problems there. Baseball, Ken Griffey Jr. Very chalky answer, but Ken Griffey Jr.

It has to be he was the man basketball alan iverson um now these are all answers of teams that i don't root for right like i can give you i can give you jets mets nicks right right rangers hockey hockey is a little more tough like i don't once again i don't like when i was especially when i was young i didn't watch a lot of hockey besides the Rangers. So I didn't really love a player. It's Joe Sackiger or Patrick Waugh for me. Okay.

Now I know that we had a commenter who I think was a Detroit Red Wings fan in our last video when we were just talking about hockey and stuff. So this is going to hurt them, and I'm sorry. But I was on the Avs side of the red wings avalanche rivalry because i loved joe sackick and patrick waugh peter forsberg it was a cool team they were all those dudes so yeah i mean there were so many really great players for the for the red wings as well but um that would be mine that would be mine for for hockey for baseball it's ken griffey Jr. for sure. Football, Champ Bailey was actually my favorite player that did not play for the Bucs. I just love Champ Bailey, man.

I love the defensive back and the cornerback position. Brian Dawkins is also a huge one for me. Absolutely loved B-Dawg. But he played a little bit into the 2000s, so I didn't know how far we were going into that. Basketball, I'm going to be honest, man. Allen iverson's a great call i think steph curry i think if you ask me who my favorite basketball player of all time was i tell you it's tracy mcgrady because i grew up in florida orlando magic tracy mcgrady was absolutely awesome i had his jersey i had his shoes i had all this stuff

for t-mac but i truly love watching Steph play. The best of Steph is the most fun time I have watching basketball. And I'm not a huge basketball dude. I'm not a huge NBA dude. I'll watch it. But I think Steph is just so incredibly entertaining and how he's changed the game. And I think he would be my favorite. I really do.

I think he'd be my favorite. It's a great answer because with Steph, when he came into the league, I mean he was so much lighter than he even is now that there was something with Steph that like don't get me wrong not anybody could be Steph Curry but there was this thought of Steph that when you watched him play he was so different than everyone else because of his size and the fact that he was a different generation of shooter that it's I don't know you're right it's he's somebody that i don't know if i want to say change the game oh brother he changed the game completely really

changed the direction of the nba he did yes yeah yeah that's that's a that's definitely a modern one i definitely went back in time with these oh yeah it's awesome though right yeah if i went you know obviously i would say marshall falk was another football one him and far were the two non-jets that i like, really liked watching play. Makes sense. That makes sense. Handful more. Tyler said, all right, boys, if you're running behind the best offensive line in football

in either a Shanahan or McVay system, how many rushing yards could you get in the game? I'm going with 17. It's funny. I was going to say 15 to 18. I'm going with 17. And I feel like I'm... And not a yard more probably yards less no and i'm thinking i'm like the the workhorse back like i'm averaging more carries than yards

yeah yeah i'm averaging way more carries than yards i want to make that clear i have the best offensive line in the league i have one of the best offensive coaches in the league like the yards i'm getting are there like i'm one yard past the line of scrimmage and I'm getting... Now, I don't think I survived for more than three carries. No, of course. Yeah, yeah.

Get beat to shit. That's the real answer to this question is that I'd probably get one yard. All right, Andrew asked this one. We had to get this one in. He says, Fair warning, this is a heated topic in the sex addicts group chat.

Very serious. So, you will be judged accordingly. What would you call these cookies? Icing cookies? Like sugar cookies, but with icing. The icing on top and the sprinkles. Yeah. Let's Google what comes up with icing cookies.

Yeah, kind of. They're like the ones that you get in the tin. Frosted. Frosted. Frosted cookies? Yeah, they have to be in a tin. They're frosted sugar cookies. Okay.

Freshness guaranteed. Are they good? Yes or no? Yes, but they're a garbage cookie. It's like, you know when you eat something that you're like, I know this is really crappy, but, like, I still enjoy it? Mm-hmm. They're that.

Like, would they be the first choice of cookie or even second or third? No. But they're not bad. They're not bad. It's a garbage cookie, but they're not bad. I'll be honest with you. They're pretty good. Maybe it's just because they're just mounds of sugar.

What do you got for us here? Trash. Yeah. I think they're trash. They're a garbage cookie, but they're good. Listen, listen. It's empty calories. It's empty sugar.

It's garbage carbs. It's garbage sugar. 100%. Get that out of here. No. Look, it is physically a cookie, so it cannot necessarily taste bad, but on the spectrum of cookies, it's trash.

These things stink. Want better for yourself, people? Go out and get a good pie, a good cake, or hell, I don't know, a better freaking cookie. Don't do this don't look we only have a finite amount of meals and times that we get hungry in this life that number may be large but it is finite do not sell yourself short on the snacks or the meals that you have expect better from yourself get better cookies for sake. They're not a top...

I'm not in this group chat, so I can't wait to never get invited because of this cookie. No, there's people that agree with you. That's why it's conflicting. It's a split opinion. It's definitely not a top dessert. It's definitely not a top cookie, but you cannot deny that they still taste kind of good.

Two more. Tyler asks, what quarterback that played pre-2000 would you most want to see in today's game? Elway. I mean, Elway would be Pat Mahomes. I say this all the time. Wow, okay. Yeah.

So Marino would be like Burrow, right? Right, but I just, I feel like Marino would go nuts in this past happy week. Would go bonkers. Yeah, you're right. So, man. Those would be our two? Yeah, I think that's a pretty clear cut.

If you had a one one in a fresh dynasty draft who do you take with the first overall pick should we say it's not super flex because that kind of ruins yes if it's super flex you're saying a quarterback right you're gonna say a quarterback yeah you're gonna say one quarterback yes it's one quarterback and i'm gonna say i'm taking jamar chase and i'm gonna say it's at least half a point ppr because we're not animals right like nobody's yeah yeah no not standard like you're living in the 90s writing it down on right with pencil sick so you okay you're going with jamar chase yeah i'd go with jamar chase because the thing about justin

jefferson that's probably the right call but but I want to say Justin Jefferson is the quarterback. Right. I know. I know. I know. Burrow's not going anywhere. No, and he's a stud.

Yeah. And, and Jamar even has like help around him. Like you can't just sell out on Jamar. Yeah. T Higgins is going to go off. Yeah. And I'm not,

I'm not taking a running back one, one in a fresh dynasty no jonathan taylor is about as good as it gets so like if you wanted to argue him be like okay but i'm gonna go with one of the receivers last question uh andrew asks this one what's what's each of your guilty pleasure movies a movie that you've seen a movie that is seen as universally awful but you love it do you have one i have one that like i don't watch it a lot but i do enjoy it and it's a terrible movie okay pain and gain with mark walberg in the rock terrible movie terrible but i love it i absolutely love it oh it's so bad but it's so good it's every

stereotype of lifting one time yeah i think i've seen it like two or three times. I've only seen it one time, but the part where he's like stressing out and he's like, I gotta get a pump. And he just starts doing curls. And he just starts doing bicep curls. And The Rock is narrating it. It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable.

It's such a good, bad movie. It's terrible. I don't watch a ton of movies. And so like, I don't watch a lot of, I don't know if I watch a lot of like movies that are bad. This isn't like ever going to really be like a movie podcast because you and i are not you know i haven't i haven't bended the movie since before the pandemic okay you're crazy all right you're nuts everything's available streaming like no just no connor go to the movies bigger problem is to our movie theater and hoboken closed So it's like I'm not going far for a movie.

Are the Godzillas considered bad? Yes. Are like the no, no, like the new ones like that? Are the new ones considered bad? Well, let's just go by the easiest way to find out what is Rotten Tomatoes. OK, yeah, yeah. Because or Metacritic for whatever reason. Oh, boy.

What is it? What is it? Wait, which there's so many that i need to make sure i find the right newest ones okay no the one in 98 got slaughtered unlike anything i've ever seen are we talking about uh like brian cranston is that 2014 or even talking newer we're talking 2019 uh i think there was oh yeah you're talking you're talking the one that came out 2019 no no the brian cranston one too okay so the one the brian cranston one got the is 76 approval which is like not terrible okay that's good that's too good to be a bad okay okay okay 2019 42 okay i will turn that one on when it's on tv so i'll watch that one consistently

and then disaster and then look i've i've watched thor the dark world like six times man i'm gonna be honest like if it's on tv i'm probably gonna throw it on i'm never going to seek this movie out but it finds you though right like if it's on tv i'll be like all right i guess you know like it's a marvel movie so that's fair that's your thing what did thor the dark world get let's see you got to tell me before we get out of here okay uh rotten tomatoes one imdb got 6.8 which qualifies and 60 66 on rotten tomatoes so it's bad it's not a good movie okay all right but it's a superhero movie so i think they wouldn't easy on it but man there's some red that's a great question because there's a lot of bad movies that people just enjoy understand and i won't knock them for it

now if i think of another one i gotta i gotta i know i'm like kind of scrambling my brain right now and thinking think what are bad good some good movies like a lot of the bad movies that i've seen i genuinely think are bad. You know? Yeah. And you just don't watch them again. Okay, you know what actually takes the cake for me? I've seen Suicide Squad like three times.

So I've never even seen it. It is universally known as just one of the worst films. And you know what, buddy? It's bad. Objectively, as a film, was that bad. It's universally known as just one of the worst films. And you know what, buddy? It's bad. Objectively, as a film, it is bad. But when Suicide Squad's on TV, I'll be like, all right, yeah, why not? Okay, fine.

And I'll throw it on. Yeah, this tanked 26% on Rotten Tomatoes. It's bad, man. It's bad. It's unwatchable. But I've probably seen that movie like two or three times. I remember when the trailer dropped, I was like, that's going to be sick.

And then it got slaughtered terribly. I didn't even give it a chance. I didn't even watch it. It's a bad movie. It's a bad movie. You know what wasn't bad was this episode. This was awesome. This was fantastic, guys.
