Starting point is 00:00:07 And welcome to the P.HLY Eagles podcast on a Friday afternoon, live from the Xfinity Studio, and presented by our friends at Ashley Bow, Wolfie, J. Smith, Lindsay's back. We're all ready to talk some more about the schedule after last night's primetime show. Thanks for joining us, everybody. AJ, how are you? I'm doing great. I am excited to talk about the schedule again.
Starting point is 00:00:28 I see, look at me up and down. Yeah, I'm very excited to talk about the schedule. My wife was happy with the schedule. I think she's feeling good. Why? Because there are a lot of, there's a lot of stretches from home for a long stretch, which I think is good,
Starting point is 00:00:49 always happy. You know, last year they had that, you know, what I always referred to as the ha-ha-ha-a schedule, you know, a lot of home away, home away. Okay, you can, to borrow a phrase I heard on a different Philly podcast as I was driving in, you can unpack your suitcase this year.
Starting point is 00:01:02 You know, I think the players will be able to appreciate that too. So I'm feeling good. I'm excited. Just get me there now Just get me to the regular season now I'm ready No thanks
Starting point is 00:01:11 It's gonna be fun I'd rather have the summer Thank you very much I think I've told you before Training camp is my favorite time of the year I love training camp Training camp is arguably the best I agree with you
Starting point is 00:01:24 Training camp is awesome Wait so we get to actually see football You can take me to training camp right now and I'd be happy I would be very happy for training camp when it comes I will be very happy for it when it comes I would prefer to have my summer.
Starting point is 00:01:36 Okay, that's fine. Listen, you know, some of us, we eat, sleep, and breathe football. Okay, well, in that case, let's just let, let you do the show and I'll, Lindsey and I'll get on out of here. I'll get a bite to eat, and you can just sit here and talk ball. Me in the chat, talking ball. You know what would happen is Fran would hop on, although who would let Fran in? If he's not here.
Starting point is 00:01:57 A real, it would really lay bare how little control we have over the show actually happening. AJ would be FaceTiming on his phone and holding it up to the microphone. And then he just like pull the plug on the computer. Yes, exactly right. All right. So the top of the show today, we want to get into some of your day after takeaways after letting it all settle last night. What do you have on the top of your mind?
Starting point is 00:02:24 Yeah, so this is going to be an interactive thing with the chat, I think, because the first thing that I thought about is this is another year where the Eagles are in a lot of prime time slots, a lot of standalone slots. and I know that there have been some conversations about like the lack of like one o'clock games and I probably four just four on the schedule right yeah I think it could be five but it's four right now meanwhile the Jets literally have only one o'clock games except one really four o'clock and this is a good window into like the other side of this where it's like some teams probably love that their team is on prime time and I actually am like more curious like how fans feel about it so let me know how you feel
Starting point is 00:03:01 about it in the chat. Like, on one hand, I love some of the night game atmospheres. You know, like Eagles, Cowboys, night games to me are some of the more fun games you'll cover. The energy in the stadium is really special. But at the same time, I understand and I can appreciate like the tradition of seeing your team play at 1 o'clock. And I think sometimes when you're in those standalone games, especially the holiday games,
Starting point is 00:03:24 you are kind of at the expense of like entertaining the rest of the NFL because your team is on prime time. So I know like some some fans might enjoy it some fans might not I love a one o'clock kick just from like a personal standpoint But again, I also can appreciate the the magnitude of some of these primetime games Yeah, I mean my my personal work preference would be for there to be more one o'clock games sure But I think I think the schedule from a a fan standpoint is mostly fine I still I'm so annoyed at the Christmas Eve game I just it's it is
Starting point is 00:04:00 It is so truly cartoonishly evil for, and it's not even just Christmas Eve, because Christmas Eve, it's a Thursday night game. They would have a Christmas Eve anyway. I am annoyed that the Eagles have Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve. That seems a little bit ridiculous. It's more the Christmas Day games, the three, they're trying to just own Christmas now. It is so cartoonishly evil for this billion-dollar company, all these billionaires, to be like, oh, you know what, you know what we need to do?
Starting point is 00:04:31 We got to own Christmas. Like, let's steal Christmas from the families. And the idea that, oh, well, people are going to watch anyway. So what? Yeah. That doesn't mean anything to me. That doesn't mean that they have to put games on those days. People would watch if you put a game anytime.
Starting point is 00:04:49 That doesn't mean they should. It's just like, can you just, can there just be one area where you are not trying to maximize everything. Like just give us a break, please. Yeah, I mean, it is just objectively hard on families. And again, that is another example where like, you know, the Thanksgiving games, when I'm sitting on my in-laws couch or my parents' couch and I'm watching another team play,
Starting point is 00:05:14 I'm happy, you know, it's football, whatever. But if it's the team that you support, the team that you love, you know, that becomes, you know, it becomes a challenge for you and your family so you'd be able to balance that. It's like the, I think you should leave. It's like the, give me that. Roger Goodell sees that the NBA has a connection to Christmas day. Give me that.
Starting point is 00:05:35 Yeah, I think the Thanksgiving tradition. I thought Adam Hogue had a very good take on this. The Bears Packers game is noon on Christmas. And that's like the most important home game of the year for Bears fans. And it is all at the expense of the actual day-to-day fans. in service of the television companies and the streaming companies and what. And I know that that's the world we live in. I'm not naive to that.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Yeah. But that doesn't mean that it doesn't suck. Yeah. And I think it leans into something that we're talking about here, which is that there, and something that he said that I thought was really, really a great point, which is that like there's an atmosphere for that game. There's an intensity for that game. Really, if you're going to, if the argument is like, oh, well, people will watch,
Starting point is 00:06:20 people will watch any NFL game that's on. It doesn't have to be one. of the biggest premier matchups that you can have in a season. You know, it doesn't have to be Eagles Cowboys or Packers Bears. To me, and the Premier League does this, I think actually reasonably well, where it's like they kind of put the slop on the standalone games. Like it's like the games that are like, okay, like any casual Premier League fan can enjoy this matchup.
Starting point is 00:06:45 But like the big rivalry games, those are in the tent pole times, you know. Those are in the times where it's like everyone's going to be watching 4.30 on a Sunday. everyone's going to be watching the one o'clock game on Sunday. So I think saving those games for the normal times, the times where people are always going to be watching and allowing it to be a great atmosphere at the stadium and at a time where people will want to be there, I do think they should probably lean more into that.
Starting point is 00:07:10 Well, they won't. They won't. What do you think of the idea like, you know, because again, I don't have any thoughts about that. Because again, I was listening to our mandate. Danes on the ring is really special on my way in. And they were talking about this like get used to this idea that like the NFL is going to be on every night at some point.
Starting point is 00:07:30 You know, it doesn't make sense to bury all of these games underneath. Yeah, I don't agree with Danes about that. Yeah, I think that that undersells like the tradition and the experience of watching football on a Sunday. Like I think that that is important for the NFL. Maybe I'm overstating it. But it's like, again, it's all it. It is still a regional sport.
Starting point is 00:07:49 It is still like a tribal sport. You want to watch your team. and, you know, I see people in the chat saying they want to watch the Eagles Sunday at 1 o'clock. It's not a matter of like, oh, I'll watch them Tuesday at 5. Like, of course you will watch them, but I think that the traditions matter. You know, I think that you hear me talk about,
Starting point is 00:08:05 like being romantic about stadiums and the history of the game. Like, I do think that those traditions are important. To a certain extent. So why do you disagree if you don't see it? Well, I'm not going to have an argument with him when he's not here. That's fair.
Starting point is 00:08:17 Okay. So he's going to be on, I believe, on Tuesday. Okay. We can talk about that. gotcha um i had another thought uh another thing from the chat yet late yesterday looking at the season and thirds so have you done this yet have you looked at the season and thirds uh you can just do it while i yeah i'll do it now okay all right so the first third i did blocks of six games or no six weeks including the buy six weeks yes all right so the first six weeks of the eagle scout eagle schedule
Starting point is 00:08:45 they got the commanders at home cardinals away titans away giants at home um shoot no this isn't this isn't right i just read you my uh my my my big board it's commanders titans bears rams jags in london panthers that's the first six games yeah so when i looked through the opening third of those games i do think that the eagles have like a legitimate chance to go four and two i think that four and two would be like or sorry i think they have a little bit a legitimate chance to go four and two while the offense is still finding its footing i think that that is like a realistic outcome for the Eagles. I also think if they don't start 2 and 0,
Starting point is 00:09:26 we could be looking at 2 and 4 in that first third. I think it is the most pivotal of the three, in my opinion. You think the first third is the most pivotal third? I do. I mean, listen, maybe not in terms of like, they have a lot of division games in the second third. But in terms of how the season will go and what we've seen from the Eagles
Starting point is 00:09:45 in terms of like the potential to snowball, yeah, I think if they struggle in those first two, games you could see a world where they go two and four well those are two different things if they struggle in the first two games i agree they could go two and four yeah i don't agree that it's the most important you think it's the second third well i mean i think it's the last third you're gonna be playing your best football at the end of the year this is i mean i think that can be overstated out here i think that can be overstated you have to be playing there no there's no real no i mean no team is who they are in the first six games of the season that's that's that's a
Starting point is 00:10:20 about racking up wins and trying to find your on the field identity. I'm not saying they need to play perfect football in the first six weeks. I think that the results are what I'm talking about. Being able to survive that. Yeah, I mean, we had this conversation with Fran last night. I don't agree with you guys. I don't know if it's just because I'm being a contrarian,
Starting point is 00:10:36 but I don't agree that. I just, those first two games are very important to make sure that if they're three and three in the first six games, I think that's totally fine. I think that's totally fine. But again, being able to get off to a good start, I think is going to be important.
Starting point is 00:10:52 And then the second third is kind of, it's fun because it's not something we've seen a lot of recently. Yeah. Which is that it's going to be decisive in a lot of ways in terms of how they stand in the division. Yeah. You know, it is a stretch where, and it's fun because they're not playing those teams like, you know, twice in three weeks. There's a good, a good, like, you know, diversity in the opponents to play. And again, I think, I don't remember who said it in the chat yesterday. It was a really, it was a generous super chat, so I apologize for forgetting the name there.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Teasy? That's a good memory by you. But Teasy said, like the second third of the season, you want to see, you want to see consistency, right? You want to see them start to be able to gain some consistency. And that is going to be, it's going to be tough because all of these games are winnable games for the Eagles. Like, they could go six and no. They could go five and one. I think that is like actually a realistic. Oh, yeah, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:11:43 It's the Monday night game against the Cowboys and the Sunday night game at Washington. one o'clock game against the Giants, then you got the buy, and then you have the Steelers at home, and then at Dallas. Yeah, so, I mean, I could see a world where they go six and O or five and one in that stretch.
Starting point is 00:11:57 Well, it's five games. Okay, sorry, you're right, yeah. So I could see them going five and O, four and one in that stretch. I could also see them going one and five. You know, so I think there's a big, a big range of outcomes in that stretch, depending on how well they're playing
Starting point is 00:12:13 once they get into it, because it is. It's like they're all winnable games, with none of them are easy wins, which we'll get into later in the show. Yeah, we'll do our, we're going to do our little draft of the games we think the Eagles are most likely to win. And I think, while this is an easy schedule for the Eagles, relatively speaking, I know Dennis had a 20-second toughest. Because there's not a lot of like really, really high-level competition. I also think that there's a bit of a dearth of like true dogs on this schedule.
Starting point is 00:12:45 I think there's really only two, and one of them is in a way. So I think they could lose anybody. In the second third or just overall? Overall. Overall. Yeah, I agree. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:12:56 The final third at Arizona, Colts at home, Seahawks at home, Texans at home, at San Francisco, at the Giants. Yeah. So to me, this is more about, I know what you were saying about, like, trying to play your best football. To me, this is about trying to find some rhythm, some identity going into the postseason, and less about stacking up wins. I think that they can do that in the first, the first two-thirds of the season.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Because those are tough games. You know, if they lose to the Texans and the 49ers before they go into the playoffs, I don't know. Like, those are two tough games. I don't think I would be like, I would be like sounding the alarm a lot more if they lost two straight games in the first six weeks
Starting point is 00:13:37 than in the last six. I totally disagree with you. I find that surprising. You, so you're telling, me, if they lost to the bears and the Rams in consecutive weeks, you would be less concerned than if they lost, or you'd be more concerned. No, you would be less concerned than if they lost to the Texans and the Niners. Yeah, I disagree.
Starting point is 00:13:58 Yeah, they've got so many moving parts. They've got so many new people. I just, I think it's more of like a commentary on how the Eagles have navigated the last few years. And when things are rocky, how they've sometimes been able to not, how they sometimes have been unable to respond. I think that's more of what I'm worried about. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:14:17 They were two and two. What the year they won the Super Bowl? But we've also seen them win games, win games and start to spiral. Okay. So I just, I think that. So then you're saying it's not about the results. No, I mean, it's about how they play. So it is about.
Starting point is 00:14:33 It's not about the results. Yes. So, but they play fine against the Bears and Rams and Lose. Yeah. It's fine. If you're saying if they play fine against the Rams and the Bears and the Bears, but lose, it's fine. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:47 Yeah, I guess fine. It's like they lost like a 31 to 28 shootout against the Rams and it's like, oh, like, you know, it was a good team. They played well. Maybe, but I do. I think that those early results are going to matter a lot. Okay. I'm surprised you disagree so much there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:05 I mean, we literally saw this two years ago. Yeah, but again, I think like you're a little bit more like, like, yes, that worked out, but it was very, very close to not working out. Yeah. So that's like, it depends on what side of the coin. And then they started very well last year. Yeah. Record-wise.
Starting point is 00:15:23 Right. But then they had a bad end of the season. And if they didn't start well last year, I think we would have had a similar conversation about how the intensity could ratchet up. Yeah, but still, that's how this town is. You even said it at the end of the argument yesterday. You will not remember this conversation if they get blown out on Monday night against the bears. That's because we have a show to do.
Starting point is 00:15:46 But I just, I really disagree with the framing. That September matters more than December? For this team, especially, especially if we are talking about the Texans and the 49ers as like a potential two-game skid, yeah, I totally think that those early games matter more. I think it's important for this team to find its footing. I think that's important.
Starting point is 00:16:09 Okay. We got to take a break. is that this is absolutely nonsense. Let us know what you think in the chat. What matters more for a football team? How they play in September or how they play in December? That is not the argument. We picked out the two games.
Starting point is 00:16:24 So lose to an AFC opponent in Week 16 that won't affect your seating. Like to me, not necessarily. To me this idea like, oh, you have to be playing your best football in December. You know, like I just, I think that that's overstated. You're right.
Starting point is 00:16:39 They give out rings for the best September record. That's why that's why. That's why Shane Siken is a Super Bowl champion. That's definitely what I'm saying. And Daniel Jones is the highest paid quarterback in football. We'll see you later. It's hard to see in the distance, especially five years away.

Starting point is 00:18:57 time for the big takeaway, presented by our friends at Xfinity. And E.J., last night we were very siloed in on the Eagle schedule. Yeah. Chance to step back and look at how things look for the rest of the league. What were your big takeaways on that front? Yeah, I was reading through some of the coverage from the other teams this morning.
Starting point is 00:19:19 So shout out to all the great beat reporters out there. I won't be able to give individual shoutouts, but I appreciate all the coverage from those other teams. Do we do a beat reporter draft? Maybe at some point in the offseason, that would be fun. Although we don't want to hurt any feelings now. So my biggest takeaway, I want you to tell me how many wins you have for the commanders by week nine. I'm going to give you their first eight opponents here. And the by week is in here, okay?
Starting point is 00:19:47 So obviously they start off at Eagles. Yeah. Then at Cowboys. Home against the Seahawks. Ooh. Home against the Colts. Home against the Giants. At 49ers.
Starting point is 00:20:00 Buy week. Home against the Eagles. Home against the Rams. I mean, I'm going to just say three, but three would be like good. But I think they're, yeah, they're favorite in one of those games, right? Yeah. Maybe two. They're probably the favorite in the Giants.
Starting point is 00:20:16 game at home, and then I don't think they'll be favored against the Colts at home. Maybe? Maybe. Especially early. Yeah. I think I'd favor the Colts. I mean, getting a lot of people upset at me for picking the Colts over the Eagles in my written prediction.
Starting point is 00:20:33 Why are you doing that? Well, that's what John Sherriss's reaction when he finds out the commander's schedule. It's also his reaction when he finds out he made another million dollars. I mean, the, I don't understand. understand. There are Titans of Industry and people who are very successful in their fields who I can think are odious and evil people and also not even very good at their job, but you can sort of understand that people can fall for the aura. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:18 I don't understand how Josh Harris gets away with what he gets away with. I mean, the animal magnetism of that guy. I mean, come on. This is like your version of like nobody, like absolutely nobody. Like, you know, a little bit of dead air on the show. All of a sudden you're launching a diatribe about Josh Harris. I mean, the performance he gave yesterday up there on the day, was like...
Starting point is 00:21:52 Yeah, it was tough. One of the least convincing things I've ever seen anybody do. Yeah, usually they are pretty like polished by the time they get up there. He looked aggrieved to even be up there. Yeah? He knew he was going to get some tough questions
Starting point is 00:22:05 from the PHOY crew. Unbelievable. A lot of word salad. Yeah, from both of them. Absolutely. Yeah. Not even just like... Like at least when Nick's here now he talks,
Starting point is 00:22:17 the word salad, he's like saying like sentences. That I feel like yesterday. They weren't even like putting words together. They were just saying words. They were. Go to the city that you want to be in. Get out of here. Again.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Get out of Philadelphia. Appreciate the PHOI Sixers guys because that's why you need good journalists. They ask good questions. Yeah. You know, don't have control over the answers, but they ask good questions, good pointed questions at the end of that press conference. All right. Stay in D.C.
Starting point is 00:22:47 And little St. James. Go ahead. So, yeah. Commanders. D daunting starts. Yeah, that's tough. To the season. Which to me makes that the second game against the Eagles interesting.
Starting point is 00:23:00 Obviously, they're coming off the by week, but like, I mean, they might just be licking their wounds. Anyway. No, but if Jaden Daniels is the way, is playing the way he played as a rookie, they will win some of those games. Yeah. They will. I'm down on the commanders this year. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:17 I mean, we did this last year where it was like, okay, like the roster is not that great. but if you believe in Jaden Daniels and you can talk yourself into him. There's nobody who was more done on the commanders last year than I was. That's literally not true. It is literally true. I had the first pick of the draft
Starting point is 00:23:32 and I said commanders under. Fran Durant was the thing that everybody remembers. Yeah, he had it, but I was there. I think, yes, you picked them, but Franz's... I mean, it was the most obvious thing for anybody from the outside to see was the commanders we're going to under-deliver last year. I give Franks.
Starting point is 00:23:49 I think they'll be okay this year. even though I think that roster is very bad. Yeah. It's a hard start to the schedule for them. Cowboys, some disagreement from our friends over at DLS. Yeah. But I do think the general consensus is that they have a, they've got a tough start as well.
Starting point is 00:24:08 I mean, it starts with Giants Commanders, and then it's the Ravens in Brazil at Texans. La Ravens. La Ravens? They're going to play La Raven Clark? La Ravens. At Texans. So short trip over to Houston.
Starting point is 00:24:20 against the bucks at home, Packers on the road, and then Eagles in Philadelphia. Yeah. It's tough. It's not as bad as it. I am surprised that they have the Rio game week three and then I'm very late by.
Starting point is 00:24:32 That is a bit odd. Yeah. But the other thing that's important to keep in mind with this is like that stretch where all these NFC East teams are playing each other, they're all going to be coming off,
Starting point is 00:24:41 well, the Giants and the commanders will both be coming off, or sorry, Cowboys and commanders will be coming off a difficult stretch from their early season. So, you know, that might inform,
Starting point is 00:24:50 some of those games that the Eagles have against them. 49ers fans already very upset about how much they're going to have to travel. I mean, the Australian... Hold on. They don't want to be near the facility, but they don't want to travel either. They just want to spend all their time in Philadelphia. They just want to play 16 games in Philadelphia. That might go well for them.
Starting point is 00:25:11 I mean, they'd be far away from... What did Jordan Davis say? The Electric Avenue. I mean, a lot of the travel is just the week one game. So I don't know. And then another one that is a little bit, you know, you got a squint to see it. But I was checking on the Patriot schedule, first round pick watch. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:30 Potentially. Potentially. Yeah. They travel the fifth most miles and have the sixth toughest schedule in the NFL according to the athletic. Okay. So difficult schedule for the Patriots as a, you know, we knew they already had a difficult schedule, but I think the way it landed was also not necessarily. Yeah, I feel like a very real chance that the Patriots don't make the playoffs.
Starting point is 00:25:48 Yeah, I agree. And that's probably why they don't want to give up. their first rounder next off season. Can I give you a tinfoil hat theory I have about the Eagle schedule? Okay. So I mentioned the ha-ha schedule last year. And I think there was more consensus that last year's schedule was just like, it kind of felt like hastily thrown together.
Starting point is 00:26:07 Okay. This year's schedule felt the opposite to me. And like I don't know the minete, as Shil Kapadio would say, on how the schedules get put together. But it does kind of feel like, Again, tinfoil hat. I'm not saying I think this is actually true. I could just, I could see this being true.
Starting point is 00:26:25 It feels like maybe they have like a schedule priority list and they flip it each year or something like that based off of like this schedule felt way more thought out. Even like the division games being in the middle, you know, the long stretches at home, you know, even there. It's interesting because you would think that the defending Super Bowl champion would be the one. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:46 It's very strange to me. Like I know some of it is just the strength of schedule, which the NFL does not decide. But the way that it falls, it does feel like there was more thought put into it. Do you think maybe it's like they play the two holiday games and it's like, all right, we'll try to take care of you where we can other places?
Starting point is 00:27:06 Like why? No, because I don't think it's necessarily advantageous. I mean, they've got the thing with the four teams coming off a by. Yeah, that one is weird. Which is silly and should be a very easy thing for them to avoid. I mean, there really shouldn't be a scenario where you have to play more. more than two teams coming off a buy
Starting point is 00:27:22 when you are not coming off a buy. Especially that Panthers game. That would be very easy. That feels like one where like, yeah, they're coming back from an international trip. They're not taking their buy. Honestly,
Starting point is 00:27:31 what that feels like is they had that scheduled and the Eagles told them that they would prefer that to not be, they would rather not have the buy coming off of London and they said, okay, we're going to leave this as it was. And they originally had them
Starting point is 00:27:43 as both coming off the buy. Yeah. That's how that reads to me. Yeah, that makes sense. That's actually a good read. It's just a guess. but I mean I mean there as you as you think about it like the mechanics of them putting the schedule together it has to it has to start somewhere so you're it starts with the primetime games that you're probably then there is probably a couple teams that you were thinking through first but you would think in an ideal world though you wouldn't make make it this obvious yeah but I don't think that I I don't think that there's as much to that yeah not like a conspiracy no I'm not I'm not actually suggesting there is. It's just, as I've marinated on the schedule, I have thought. Like,
Starting point is 00:28:25 you know, like it feels like there was so much more thought. All the thought that wasn't put into last year feels like it was put into this year. Yeah. Maybe they complained to the league. Maybe they said, like, you guys got to be more thoughtful. Maybe. You know, Jeffrey and Roger, talking at owner's meetings. Maybe that's what this, maybe that's what they were talking about. Maybe that's what it was. Yeah. All right, I'll close the book on the big takeaway presented by our friends at Xfinity. On the other side, draft. The games on the Eagle schedule, we think they are most definitely going to win. Did you look back at last year's exercise? No. How we did? Okay. Stay tuned.
Starting point is 00:29:07 My name is Fran Duffy and Parks Casino is my casino of choice because it is a great place for a night of headline entertainment and award-winning dining.

I mean, what a lineup at Parks, Casino, Parks, Casino.com is where you go to buy tickets. It must be 21 or older. Gambling problem, call 1,800 gambler. Introducing your new craving. That's right. Wawa is expanding.
Starting point is 00:30:15 It's freshly produced food. lined up with new seasoned beef tacos available for just a limited time and these tacos are built to deliver bold craveable flavor in every single bite. We're talking warm flour tortillas filled with Wawa's savory, juicy, boldly seasoned beef plus fresh toppings that can be customized your way. And you got options. Beyond the season beef, you've also got chicken steak or black beans, add some shredded cheese, Salsa Roja, garlic aoli, barbecue, ranch, buffalo, chippole, whatever you want.
Starting point is 00:30:52 And finish it off with some shredded lettuce, some salsa, some fire roasted corn, onions, pickled jalapenos, whatever you want. Don't wait, though. This lineup is only here for a limited time while supplies last. So next time you're a Wawa, grab a taco. Back in the PHA, Y Eagles podcast, I'm going to extend that ad read because I had my first Wawa Taco the other day.
Starting point is 00:31:13 Oh, did you? Yeah, it was great. Yeah, of course. I was on my way out to the golf event in Jeffersonville. And I hadn't had anything to eat. Getting ready to go on the highway. Get some gas. Get myself a Wawa taco.
Starting point is 00:31:27 Now I got the, I would recommend this because if you want to really lean into the WPT of it all. Always, obviously. Yet the, I went for the, like the Nashville hot spice on the beef. Okay. Okay. And then a little bit of ranch.
Starting point is 00:31:44 Hmm. I'm telling you. Real WPT here. I don't think I've ever put ranch on a taco, but... But it worked down very well. I feel like it's Wawa-W-W-W-W-Tacos now. Wawa-Peeples. Wawa-W-W-W-A-Peele.
Starting point is 00:31:57 Yeah. Shout out to all my Wawa people. So, yeah, lots of ways to get creative on those bad boys. Again, you get to customize them your way. I got to get over there. I genuinely actually need to get over there and get some Wawa-Tacos. I recorded a video for... But I didn't send it to anybody.
Starting point is 00:32:14 Wait, did you actually? Sort of. As a joke, not as a real thing. Oh. Okay. But then were you afraid if you sent it to us? We would play it on the show. Correct.
Starting point is 00:32:24 Now you have to send it. Now that you've told us it's... I don't have to do anything. I mean, yeah, you do. You can't. It's like me being like, oh, no, I'm not going to say it. No, I'm telling you that I think it's already deleted.
Starting point is 00:32:38 Have you ever heard of recently deleted? Yeah. And you know he doesn't know about recently deleted. He's like, what? We got him. We got them. That's the millennial difference right there. You know, you guys are.
Starting point is 00:32:52 That's awesome. His face was like, what? You guys are. You and Josh Harris and aren't so different after all. You missed all the mugging talk last night. About what? There's a lot of mugging going on last night. How do you know I wasn't watching the whole show at the wedding I was at?
Starting point is 00:33:12 Yeah. You know, something gives me an hunch. I assumed it was inappropriate. I actually don't think it's inappropriate. Mogging? Yeah. No, it's not. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:21 I just assume everything you say that I don't understand it's inappropriate. It's usually a safe assumption. To be fair. Yeah. Probably a fair. Reflex? Yeah. It sounds inappropriate.
Starting point is 00:33:36 Only if that's fair, your head goes. But I googled it on the show during overtime. Did you want to Google the other one? No, I didn't. I don't know. We got to hit a light goal. All right. We'll set a new light goal next week.
Starting point is 00:33:46 maybe and we can circle back. E.J. and Bo, I'm going to let you have the first pick. The game, the single game on the calendar, you think the Eagles are most likely to win. All right. I think this is going to be the consensus number one. Even if it's not, I feel good about it. I'm going to take Eagles commanders week one. Really?
Starting point is 00:34:05 Nick Siriani undefeated. It's not consensus at all. Undefeated in season openers. I think the Eagles will have an early advantage against the commanders. Commanders had a lot of coaching turnover in the offseason. And they have a Brian Flores, coach, the acolyte at defensive coordinator now. I'm not sure how that's going to go over in like the early going.
Starting point is 00:34:25 It's a chaotic system. Okay, that's interesting. It's a good take. And just generally, I just think that that defense might take time to find its stride. So I think this is a favorable matchup, like I said, last night for the Eagles in week one. I know division games are weird. I don't think this would have been in my top four. Really?
Starting point is 00:34:40 Yeah. Yeah. We'll see where you go. I found a lot of the games I felt best about. are road games. And I wanted to get a home game. So going commanders week one. Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:51 I have a different home game as my number one. And I think for the purposes of this exercise, that's probably not smart to pick a game later in the season because there are so many possibilities. But I'm going week 11 home against the Steelers. That is a, that is a one, that is an easy win to me. Yeah. The Eagles are coming off a by that week too.
Starting point is 00:35:10 I went off by, you know, Aaron Rogers potentially, if not, is it still, what's his face? Mason Rudolph? They'll find. They'll have to do something if they don't get Rogers back. Well, no, but Rogers will be back, but he might be injured. Yeah, I like that one is a walk in the park to me. Yeah, it was in my top five.
Starting point is 00:35:35 Okay. But I get my, the number two player on my board, Eagles at Cardinals. I know that's like a weird stadium for them. But the Cardinals are going to be struggling. And by the time the Eagles play the Cardinals, I suspect the Cardinals will be. I agree with that. They'll be on the Tankathon. They'll be on the Fran Duffy draft guide reading about Arch Manning.
Starting point is 00:35:57 Let me go. See, yeah, I'm going to go. I'm going to go. What's that? Will Howard Erasure. I will take week two at Tennessee. I didn't want to take a road game quite so early, but I do think that that seems like a an easily.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Yeah. Able game for them. That was all my board. that was actually next on my board. I was on record on the show yesterday saying that I think the Giants are going to be feisty this year, even beyond feisty,
Starting point is 00:36:31 maybe just a tough team to beat, but I still think... I seem to beat. Oh, yeah, I remember him. I still think if I'm looking at this landscape, yeah, it's not based off the matchup, it's based off where it falls on the schedule. I think the Eagles win this.
Starting point is 00:36:48 game. Week 9 against the Giants. Week 9 against the Giants. It's a short week for them? Yeah, it's a short week. I just, I don't want to give away anything else about the other games I considered because I want to see if I can get them later on. Yeah, this is them limping to the buy. I know that could, it's a fine pick. Yeah. I will go, I know, I would like to go that one, but they got a little schedule mugged.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Um The fact that Lindsay found that funny When she didn't watch the show yesterday Is a little alarming Because like this is reference like 14 Just anytime Bo uses slang Uh
Starting point is 00:37:30 I think I'm gonna take week 14 And home against the cults Yeah So I don't know why I against stico I feel psycho I think it's time to let psycho And
Starting point is 00:37:45 I think it's time to let it go. It's like the, like stop trying to make Stiko happen. Never. I don't know why. I guess maybe you're thinking of this like a, you don't believe in Daniel Jones, but I actually am thinking about it on the inverse where it's like I do believe in Shane Steichen and I just, I think those teams are always better than you expect them to be. So I think he is better at dealing with insufficient talent on offense and some people
Starting point is 00:38:15 are giving them credit for. Yeah, I don't think they're going to be a two-win team. Yeah, but I had the Eagles losing to them in my written prediction. Okay. And I've been getting people in my mentions all day. Like, they're not losing to the cults. And it's like the cults were pretty good last year when Daniel Jones played. So again, maybe I'm being too favorable to our old friend, Stiko.
Starting point is 00:38:37 Maybe. All right, I'm going to do it. I'm going to take the Eagles versus the Panthers. Okay. This would have been like a top three pick. You know, this is like a very Hallie Rosen of me right now. This would have been a top three pick in most drafts. But.
Starting point is 00:38:54 If this game went back to school. Yeah, if this game went back to school, it would have been a top, top two, top three pick on this calendar here. But, you know, Panthers coming off of a biweek. Eagles coming off the London trip. Definitely makes it a more complicated game to project. But still, on paper, you'd expect the Eagles to win this game. I'm going to take them.
Starting point is 00:39:13 Okay. I like that. I think you're right. That game would have been probably a top two pick, if not for the situation. Yeah. I am going to go, see, I'd like to go week 18 against the Giants, but yeah, it could be a backup's kind of situation. I will go, I'm going to go week eight Sunday night football at Washington. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:48 You know, Jalen Hertz, I think mentioned that they haven't played a night game there, but they did. They just played night game there last year. Did they? That was a night game, I thought. I can't remember that. The game where Will Shipley fumbled the opening kickoff? Was that a 4.30 kick? No.
Starting point is 00:40:06 I can't remember this game. It was a 1 o'clock game. Why did I feel like it was dark outside when that happened? Oh, no, hang on. I think it was a night game. It was a 5 o'clock game on a Saturday. Oh, yeah. I just remember.
Starting point is 00:40:22 Okay. Because I don't have like the instant recall from games. I don't know why. I can't remember anything about that game. Will Shipley fumbled the opening kickoff. And Jake Elliott missed at least two field goals. Was it the end of the season?
Starting point is 00:40:37 Yes, it was. Week 16, the Eagles won this game, 29 to 18. But again, Will Shipley fumbled the opening kickoff. And it led to a Jake Moody 20-yard field goal. And yeah, I think here I'm going to try and find the kicking. stats here because I'm pretty sure Jake Elliott missed at least two kicks. And I'm failing to find the kicking stats.
Starting point is 00:41:01 Jake Elliott, two field goals missed. All right. Pretty good by me. Where is my memory? I really admire people who can like just instantly recall again. I can do that for the 2017 games. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:16 So if you're there, you remember? I actually, yeah. I think part of this job, when I'm watching the game, on TV. It is much more fleeting. I just remember like the moments from games. Yeah. But no, like details from games. I don't know why. Harder for me.
Starting point is 00:41:32 All right. Over to you. All right. I'm gonna stick my chest out a little bit. I'm gonna try and call a shot. I think the Eagles will beat the Dallas Cowboys in week seven
Starting point is 00:41:51 on Monday night football. The CDP says that was a weekend that I me and hoag had to make sure we had our chores done yeah that was yeah you gotta take of the women uh you know how women got to help out around the house with the old ball and jane oh oh here's what you gotta do away that's the london guy Drabroni. It's a new character. You're taking the home game,
Starting point is 00:42:33 the Monday night game against the Cowboys? Monday night home against Cowboys. Week 7. Yep. As our friend Dana has pointed out, like the Eagles do have a good record against quality opponents over the last few years.
Starting point is 00:42:44 Like the games where you look and you go, man, like that's going to be a really tough matchup for them, they've done well in those games. You know, the Bill's game last year is a good example. I think I probably did call that a schedule of loss when I was working at the Enquirer. And, you know, the Eagles do.
Starting point is 00:42:57 well in those high stakes, you're high, like, high exposure games against quality teams. So I'll take them against the Cowboys. All right.
Starting point is 00:43:06 Give me, give me the, London game. Yeah. Against the Jags. I also considered that one. All right, I got to figure out
Starting point is 00:43:22 what's still left here. I should have been scratching them off. Teen Crumpets. Team Crumpets. It's all on the board. Week three at Chicago. Week four,
Starting point is 00:43:31 the Rams. Week 12 at Dallas. Week 15 against the Seahawks, week 16 against the Texans, week 17 against the Niners, and week 18. Give me... Liberty or give me death?
Starting point is 00:43:51 Give me the Christmas Eve game against the Texans. Oh, interesting. Okay. I mean, there's a chance. You know, yeah, let me call some people out here for a second. All these people say, oh, the Eagles aren't losing to the Colts.
Starting point is 00:44:05 The Texans and the cults, like, I think that they have similar ranges of outcomes this year. So I think the Texans will be good. I think the cults will be pretty good. The Texans could stink this year. It's not out of the realm of possibility that they're like a, you know, solid defense, a great defense, but a very mediocre offense. Yeah. I think the Eagles can beat them. Yeah, of course.
Starting point is 00:44:28 I'm not arguing with you. I'm arguing with the keyboard warriors out there. Oh. Stuart G out there somewhere Stuart G Who's Stuart G? He's a stone code loser You got to read Rich's newsletter to find out who

Pat McClune, I don't know if I've said this on the show before. One of the most important people in my life, like I would not be, you know, people's, oh, I wouldn't be where I am without that person. Like, no, literally, genuinely, I would not be where I am without Pat McClune. He's just an amazing guy.
Starting point is 00:45:34 Every time I see him, he asks me about my family. He, like, remembers, like, my family's names. The Smiths. Yeah, how are the Smiths doing? He's a real salt of the earth guy, yeah. Where would he rank if I was asking you your top three bosses of all time? Can I, well, I mean, he's, I won't even sugarcoat it. He's number one.
Starting point is 00:46:01 He's number one, and he's in a tier. by himself. Nice. I like that. He gave my first job out of college. And I was a, like, I was not, you know, I was not a, oh, you know, this guy would be a top five pick in any draft. I was not that guy.
Starting point is 00:46:13 Oh. He, he, he, he had faith in me in a way that I really appreciate it. And saw the bone density and saw the ankle flexion and said this guy, he might not be there. He might not be there now, but. I got dense bones. I got that, but I do not have ankle flexion. I've reached the point in my life where I need to stretch when I wake up in the morning. Like, I have to unless it's going to be a bad day. No ankle flexibility anymore.
Starting point is 00:46:38 Broadstbulleton.com. People asking who there are some people who have not, you get heard about it. Is Bo and Jay's boss? No, Bo is not my boss, even though sometimes he acts like he is. You think there are people who watch the show who actually think that? Like, they think like you're in charge of me in charge of the whole operation here. I'm in this whole thing. we all know Lindsay's in charge of the whole thing yeah look the way of Lindsay's sitting right now she's don't do this

Starting point is 00:47:36 this will be the 12th pick in this prestigious Eagles definitely going to win the game draft. I will take the Monday night game week three in Chicago. Okay. I feel worse about that game than you do, as all of our arguments would suggest. Yeah, that's fine.
Starting point is 00:47:58 I mean, I think that'll be a good team. Yeah. That's week three. I think it when that came? They could, yeah. All right. That means there are five games left to be selected. Week four against the Rams.
Starting point is 00:48:12 Week 17 at San Francisco, week 18 against the Giants, week 15 at home against the Seahawks, and week 12 at Dallas on Thanksgiving.

Starting point is 00:50:42 I'm not familiar with that young woman That was what I was like that came in my head And I'm like I don't know if I ever said that before But honestly it fits Yeah I mean what he does in his personal life I'm sure I mean he can do it every once Yeah I don't think it's I mean you gotta be a little bit worried about subterfuge You know she can be getting game plans and reporting back to Jerry

Starting point is 00:52:05 Professionalism, I guess. Yeah. I don't know whatever happened wasn't he like supposed to be dating Nikki Bella that just like whizzled out he was always down playing that
Starting point is 00:52:17 she was up playing it yeah she was up playing it yeah she was up talking it do you know that one he has to know that one how do you feel about Kubergeen going I mean
Starting point is 00:52:36 for the record she wants to go long distance I genuinely, what any of the Eagles players do in, like, their relationships, unless it rises to, like, real news, I don't have a lot for you. I mean, I know some of their wives from, like, social media content. Sure. You know, like Landon Dickerson's wife and, like, Fred Johnson's. Fred Johnson's girlfriend. Yeah, Lane Johnson just got married.
Starting point is 00:53:02 I know that. Yeah. I don't, I try not to know too much about these. people. Only so much time for me to like, no things about the Eagles. I try to stay out of the personal stuff. Okay.
Starting point is 00:53:19 Congratulations to Cooper to Jean. I have a very random question for you, but I need the chat and you to weigh in on this. Okay. So there was a spider on the roof of my, not on the roof on the ceiling of my like living room. And it was like a furry spider. High ceilings?
Starting point is 00:53:37 High, but I can. Like, you can reach it just with your hands. I needed a fly swam. You need a thing. Okay. Julia wasn't there because obviously if Julie was there. She would be handling it. Julia, please take care of this for me.
Starting point is 00:53:49 So I get the flyer. You get your golf club in the closet. Get the fly swat. So I work up the courage and I got the fly swatter and I know you only get one shot at this bad boy. If you miss, that spider's anywhere. Sure. And that's panic stations if that happened. And even if you get it, you got.
Starting point is 00:54:08 to make sure that it's on the other side of the fly swatter because it could be you might have got it but it's just down below then you have to just burn the whole house down scare me yeah um well i got it i could see a trigger warning to anybody any spider pacifists out there i could see like the spider guts on this on the ceiling i'm going to clean those up um but what a man i don't know i can't say for certain this was from the spider but when i i like swatted it I had like moisture on my my hand like the outside of my hand that was not there before you're sweating you got you got all worked up
Starting point is 00:54:48 no I'm like wondering if like the spider like put out like you were shadow boxing or something as I can that's what you're worried about yes what do you mean that's what I'm worried about I was not sweating oh that's I was not worried about that either it was done it It was, it was, it was clear.
Starting point is 00:55:10 It was clear. It could have been, it could have been blood and guts. No, but it was clear. You don't know what their blood and guts look like. We clear. So you don't think it was venom. That's the only reason I wanted to ask you guys. Like, do you think the spider, like, it's like a survival or a defense mechanism?
Starting point is 00:55:27 Like a bee will like, you know, have the stinger out if they die. Like, you know, it's like that makes them die, doesn't it? When they sting something, it kills them. Yeah. That's sad. I didn't know. I didn't realize that. But still, do you think that it was a spider doing it, doing something?
Starting point is 00:55:45 Yeah, I think you're going to, I think there's a, at least a 30% chance you're going to turn into a radio actor. You're going to get to turn into a spider. If E.J. doesn't show up one day in a Spider-Man costume. It'd be me as Spider-Man against Rothman. He's on the Spider-verse now. Spider-Man, Batman, Batman, Rothman. Nobody thinks it was venom. Everybody thinks I'm fine.
Starting point is 00:56:12 Yeah, I think you're, I think you're pretty safe on the venom front from a household spider. I mean, it was a decently sized spider. It was probably the size of like a dime. And it was furry. It was furry. It was fair. Oh, it was a furry.
Starting point is 00:56:25 Yeah, the furry spiders are scary. And for the record, my wife is working today. What kind of furry was it? The only kind of furry that I can envision. My wife's working today. Otherwise, I wouldn't have needed to ask you guys. I would have called her and asked I did call her
Starting point is 00:56:41 she didn't pick up I got spider juice on my head yeah what if it was spider juice that's not good you know the best part about this story is like you are a hulking man
Starting point is 00:56:59 I don't I I like let go with a fly swatter once like I killed the spider and I didn't have the heart to pick it back up before I left. I was too spooked from the whole experience.
Starting point is 00:57:14 So there's just a fly swatter on the grounds filled fly swatter. Yep. I'm not to put that away before Julia gets home. So. Listen, I'm not above being afraid of spider juice. How many times did you wash your hands after that happened? I washed them twice after it happened. I watched them the first time.
Starting point is 00:57:34 And I was like, ah, it didn't feel right. It just didn't feel right. Gotta wash them again. Extra soap this time. That's very funny. All right It is time now for the next pick In this very prestigious draft
Starting point is 00:57:49 You are on the clock EJ I think outside of the Giants week 18 game We have reached like a tier skip where all of these games are going to be really tough So I'm going to take the week 18 game against the giants Okay I know there's a lot of volatility between now and then The Eagles might rest their starters but If you're just looking at like
Starting point is 00:58:09 What percentage chance you'd give them to win the game game. I think it's a little bit higher than the rest of these. There was a time when my son was watching these YouTube videos of this guy who like gets bit by, like on purpose by these like dangerous insects. That sounds awful. Yeah, to me, it sounds awful. But he was enraptured by it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:58:30 But when, you know, keep the YouTube videos pretty tight. Yeah. In the house. Wait. This is one that we, yeah. He's grown out of this one. But yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:58:41 I'm glad to hear he grew out of it. Kids like stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah. I like to be terrified. There's a couple of really gross ones. Oh, man. This like nasty millipede.
Starting point is 00:58:53 Ugh. Mm. Good news is we have that millipede here in studio and it's going to bite E.J. in spider time. All right. I will go. Give me Thanksgiving at Dallas. Okay.
Starting point is 00:59:14 that's fair. Joe 76 says we're overrating Seattle. I can't, they're defending champs. They're the defending champs, but I don't disagree with the fact that it's a week 15 game. That game could look a whole lot different than it looks right now. So I would have been happy to draft it just now. Yeah, I mean, I think it's fair that it's here at this point. They're the defending champs, really good defense. I'm probably going to take it, though.
Starting point is 00:59:46 There's only three picks left. mostly because that 49ers game is just a long trip across the country. It's Seahawks, Niners, and Home Against the Rams. And now somebody's going to say that we're over-rating the Rams. Oh, here's an old-all. What are they talking about? Sean McVeigh has never beat Nick Sirionni. What do they tell you?
Starting point is 01:00:04 That's not a hard game. John McVeigh can have his shirtless photos. John McVeigh? He can have his number one rankings and everybody's coach rankings. Give me that guy who's beat him five times in a row. You just need to, like, work a Delco accident to that. And that is, like, a perfect, like, sports radio dad. I like that.
Starting point is 01:00:26 Great A boy, McGray. Drafting Ty Simpson in a round one. How's that going to get them better? Are you taking them here? It's your pick. Oh, I'm not taking them here. I'll take at 49ers. No, grand, I'll take Seattle.
Starting point is 01:00:44 No, you get Rams. No. I get Seattle. You didn't take Seattle. I did. I took Seattle. You just took San Francisco. Yeah, I took Seattle before.
Starting point is 01:00:56 Well, you don't get two sticks in a row. You told me I was up. I took Seattle. I said, we were talking about it. Seattle, and I'm taking at San Francisco, and the Rams go undrafts. No, the Rams go undrafted. I mean, you could just let me have them.
Starting point is 01:01:12 Well, that's not fair. For when we run back the tape on this game. I'll take the Rams. Oh, yeah, Lindsay should take the Rams. Lindsay's got the Rams. All right. So E. E.J. has week one against Y,
Starting point is 01:01:24 Washington, week 13 at Arizona, week nine against the Giants, week six against the Panthers, week seven against the Cowboys, week 16 against the Texans, week 18 at the Giants, and against the Seahawks. I've got Steelers at Titans,
Starting point is 01:01:38 Colts, at commanders, at Jags, at Bears, at Cowboys, at San Francisco. I got a lot of road games. Not ideal, but that's okay. Great game. Oh, yeah. Here's a thing that I've,
Starting point is 01:01:54 always liked the idea of that maybe we can do next week. Maybe we'll do it retrospectively. We'll look at last year's season, how it would have played out. Okay. What if in every NFL game, whichever team won the game got to steal a player from the other team? I mean, it is an interesting thing. You take contract and all.
Starting point is 01:02:20 Now, there's got to be some rule about, like, you can only take one quarterback a year or something or only if a quarterback has been taken or like the person's got to play the next person has to start maybe maybe quarterbacks are exempt yeah too much protecting of the quarterbacks in the league already you know what I mean that's fair um it's a fun exercise or like no no I'm gonna workshop another one for you I'll bring it for next week okay I don't know I like to steal a player I I like steal a player. I mean, listen, we got a long off season.
Starting point is 01:03:03 We got time for this. Week one against the commanders. Eagles win that game. Who do they take? Hmm. Is it sad that, like, nobody comes to mind for me? No, it's not sad. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:17 Like, I, it's just... Terry McLaren. Who would you take? Hmm. Maybe you only get them for one game and then you give them back. So it's like, nah, that doesn't really work either. Who was their first round pick this year? Sunny Stiles.
Starting point is 01:03:36 I take Terry McLaren over Sunny Stiles. There has to be a better answer than Terry McLaren. I mean, Jeremy Tunsell? They're on pain. You're going to take Odafei away. That's probably... Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:53 Odafeo away. Yeah, like their safeties aren't good. Laramie Tunsell. Colson Yankoff. for the sake of the show. Oh, the answer is obvious. It's Chico Kanko. Yeah, boy.
Starting point is 01:04:12 Duh. Yeah, you could, now you could use it to just to punish a guy. So you could take Frankie Louvo and then just make him be inactive. And like playing that defensive tackle during practice all week. No, I like that.
Starting point is 01:04:26 Yeah. Although, honestly, he'd probably be okay at defensive tackle. Like, I'm not saying he'd be good, but like I don't think it would be punishment. I think he would be fine. Avanti Maddox could play every position except for defensive tackle.
Starting point is 01:04:40 Okay tough now. Yeah. Or did Jim Schwartz say he could play defensive tackle if he, if he, I think he said that he could play any position on defense and I think you figure it out. Something like that. I'm butchering the quote.
Starting point is 01:04:51 Do you remember this? Not really, but he said, Avanti Maddox. I think he probably said like he could play any position other than maybe nose tackle. And even then I wouldn't count it out. I think that was the spirit of the quote. Well, yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:03 Okay. It was a nice quote. Vante Tufna. Yeah. I like Avanti-Matic. What's not to like? Good guy. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:15 All right. For Lindsay and E.J. Getting it done inside and I'm going to. I'm Bo. We thank you for watching this week. Comment below. Let us know which game you think is the most surefire win on the calendar. Don't forget.
Starting point is 01:05:36 we are four days away from Fran's diehard film event. So if you haven't got tickets yet, make it happen. You're going to break down film with everybody in the draft class, including Johnny Grenard. But the bottom line is, there's an Aston Villa game on. No, EJ's got places to be. Wait, there's a game on right now, not on May 19th. That's just my wife's birthday.
Starting point is 01:06:04 Yeah. Yeah. So we will talk to you Monday, 2 o'clock. Have a good weekend, everybody. And as always, wait, super chat. CDP. CDP. If Nick gets fired before the Colts game,
Starting point is 01:06:17 will Stiko yell at Eagles fans? No, he just gave life to Stiko. No, Shane's not going to yell at Eagles fans. I don't think so. No, it's not like Shane. It's not like Stiko. I can see Stiko doing it. Just because he likes a bit,
Starting point is 01:06:31 just as a callback. But does he? All right. Since you know, I'm so well. I like that. That's a good one. Good one to end the weekend on. Enter the weekend on.
Starting point is 01:06:43 Goodbye, as always. We love you. RIP to the spider. No. No. No. No. Oh, wait.
Starting point is 01:06:48 One more thing. This is the end of an era. Oh, yeah. Show's going to look a little different on Monday. They're both going to be topless. That's exactly right. See you then.
