Hello everybody and welcome to the P.H.O.I. Eagles podcast on a Monday morning.
Bo Wolf, not morning afternoon. E.J. Smith live from the Xfinity Studio and presented by our friends at Ashley.
Feels like the morning. E.J., how you doing? I'm doing great. I'm glad to be inside.
A new cut. Looking good. Thank you. Thank you. Shout out to my barber. I guess I can give him a shout out, right?
Why not? Maybe get him, give me, I mean, shout out Irving. He's a good guy. Irving?
Yeah, his name's Irving. Yeah.
Do you ever call him Irv? No. And now I call him.
call him Irving.
I respect it. Irving.
I respect it.
Irving, this is the kind of pop that most people pay for.
So if you want to give it a little back to E.J., maybe every five is on the house.
That's just saying.
Hey, listen, I would never turn that down.
But yeah, no.
Yeah, I'm excited for the show.
We got some news right before the show.
Yeah, we're going to talk about Dallas Goddard and compare the deal that, you know,
the reported terms for his return to the Eagles to some of the other tight end contracts around
the league this off season.
We're going to talk about briefly what it might mean for AJ Brown.
We're going to break these Howie Roseman signings into tears.
But let's start with the news that happened just before the show, E.J.
With not a current Eagle, but a fan-friendly ex-Eagle.
Yeah, Darius Slay announced his retirement on social media about an hour ago.
You know, at ENZE, I should know how many years his career was.
But he had five seasons with the Eagles.
He had seven with the Detroit Lions, a 13-year career.
my question for you is do you think he will retire a Philadelphia Eagle?
I kind of think so.
I think so too.
I wouldn't say definitively because he spent more time in Detroit.
He's talked about how important Detroit was for his journey.
You know, he's been very open.
You know, we'll get to some of our favorite memories about Darius Lay.
But one of the things that I always appreciated about him, other than the fact that he had like this childlike enthusiasm every single day,
he's a very funny guy, like a great quote when he wanted to be, like when he kind of wanted to have that.
personality. He wasn't always like that in an interview setting, understandably so, but if you got
him in a good mood, he would be a very fun to interview. And he always talked about how that stemmed
from the fact that he had, he had his first child young. He was probably, I think, 15 or 16 years
old when he had his first child. And that forced him to, you know, grow up. But then I think
he sort of like understood the opportunity to play in the NFL, let him continue to be a kid at heart.
and yeah he seems like a great father because of that so yeah big fan of Darius Lai happy for him
yeah I mean he's already he was already coming back to games at the end of last season so
I mean he's gonna he's gonna sort of stick around to some degree in terms of game day presence
that's the other thing he won a Super Bowl here yeah so that's the other thing that really you know
stands out when I think about his tenure with the Eagles is he was always like a refreshing
perspective on some of the things that were going on with the team and the scrutiny that was
always around the team. You know, when, when, when the Eagles got a first round by in 2022,
going into the playoffs that year, he, you know, they were kind of shaky going into that,
that postseason, if you remember. And Darius Lay was like, I don't care how we played. Like,
we just got a first round by. I've never been to the second round of the playoffs before. And,
you know, like, Eagles fans are understand, like the, you know, the expectations are high here and
that there's like an urgency to win. But yeah, he always had perspective on the success.
that the Eagles had not being something to take for granted.
So I always appreciated that.
And I think that's probably why he looks back at his five years with the Eagles fondly.
It also, I mean, it was that first year that he was here was not a great year.
And it was an interesting arc because he was already an older player by then.
And then in 2022, he was awesome.
Yeah.
And then, you know, stayed when healthy, stayed very good.
And his parting gift in retirement, well, you know, now that he is in retirement,
is the mentorship that he had for Quinion Mitchell in particular,
but I would extend that to Cooper to Gene
and really every member of the Eagle Secondary,
Reed Blankenship for the years that he was here as well.
You know, he was also a very gracious mentor.
You know, that was always something that stood out with him
is that he, you know, was always,
he had no, like, qualms about,
this guy might steal my job one day.
He wanted them to, like, basically steal his job eventually,
you know, like he felt like that was his responsibility as a vet.
I also, I think back to when Howie made that trade,
for Slay.
He explained it as when you miss on draft picks,
the cost is having to do something like this, right?
And you think about the Sidney Jones pick
and Rasul Douglas, who they let go
when it turned out to be a better player elsewhere.
But you missed on those guys and so, okay, we had to do this.
It's a little bit of a different level,
but it does remind me of,
and the reason that they're signing Rik Wullen
is because Kili Ringo didn't hit
the way that they were hoping that he would hit.
You're exactly right.
Yeah, and it's funny because when they made the trade,
I didn't think it was a great trade,
but it turned out to be,
yeah,
turned out to be a great move for the Eagles.
But it worked out very well.
Yeah.
So,
I'm happy for Sle.
I know you guys are upset
that we're saying Darius.
It's hard for us to not like use someone's full name.
I understand he likes to go by Sleigh,
but we have to like,
you know,
as like journalists,
we say the whole name.
I try to call him by his name,
but yeah.
I can't just call him big play.
Yeah.
I'm happy to call him Slay.
Yeah, I called him Slay when he was here.
Yeah.
What's your?
your favorite Slay memory?
Honestly, it's not like one specific one.
It's like his personality after a game, after a win in particular, like how funny he would be
in the postgame locker room.
Yeah, one of the funniest players I've covered for sure.
I think I will.
And I wrote about this.
Ooh, I know where you're going with this.
I think I know you're going with this.
Is it when he got named to captain?
No.
Oh, man.
You don't know where I remember.
I wrote a profile of Slaid before the,
2021 playoffs, I think.
Maybe it was 2020 when he first got here.
And I think initially the first year, it was 2020 because most of our interactions with him were over Zoom.
Yes.
And I think I misjudged him at first, whereas I thought his personality was more of an affect
that it was sort of like putting on for the cameras.
Yeah.
And maybe not necessarily in service of the team.
especially having come from like bad teams in Detroit.
And the more you were around him and actually around him
and saw him on the practice field and the way he interacts with guys,
the more you understood that like he is like this all the time.
Yeah.
And it is coming from a good place.
And he is also, I remember talking to shout out to your boy,
Johnson Gannon about this, but that...
My boy.
That as much fun as he has, he was very serious about football.
Yeah, he took a lot of pride in what not only his play, but like the things that he was able to do in terms of the responsibility that he took on and as a man coverage corner.
I did have two memories, quick ones.
Okay.
When he got named as a captain, as a captain, I think it was in the 2021 season, maybe the 22 season.
That, it's funny because we're talking about the whimsical, like, lighthearted side of him.
That moved him to tears.
You know, that was a huge emotional moment for him that he talked about because it showed.
that he could be a leader, even though he had that, you know, that side to him. It was a lighter
side. I think he, the fact that it was like a moment of recognition that he still was a leader and a
mentor to a lot of players in that locker room, that really touched him. And I remember talking to him
about that. So that's a good memory. And then the other memory I had, based speaking of that
introductory press conference, was Jimmy Kemski asked him about his tackling. Do you remember this?
Yeah, I do you know. And Slay did not like that question. He was like, what are you talking about my
tackling and I think he was a better tackle than we all expected yeah but jimmy comes it was a fair
question like he had missed tackles in Detroit and book on him yeah and jimmy's like if you watch if you look
at the tape like you have missed tackles and he did not like that question so I do remember that from
his introductory press conference that was a funny moment all right shout out to sleigh
shout out to sleigh uh okay you want to talk about Dallas gotter yeah now since we did the emergency
pod yesterday uh there are some reported details on the contract for Dallas gotter yeah so he's
that it's seven million correct i think i think so why are you crazy yeah but say it i mean it's not
unexpected i thought it was going it every sense we got was that it was going to be a team friendly deal
still but let's let's flash up here lindsay the tight end contracts that have been given out this
off season and where dallas got it ranks among these guys so this is in order so it starts
now there are some that are not fully reported yet so this is missing a couple but
Isaiah likely, you understand, 26 years old, coming off of his rookie deal, three years, he's making
about a little over $13 million a year.
Next up, Dalton Schultz, an extension with the Texans, he gets one year for $12.5 million.
Then Travis Kelsey, at 37 years old, gets $12 million for one year.
And you get Kate Auden, who's coming off his rookie deal too, so you understand this a little bit,
27 years old.
He gets $10 million a year for three years.
Then down to Chigo Conquo, who's getting $9 million.
for three years.
Then your boy,
Charlie Kohler,
who has caught the same amount of passes
in his career
as like Dallas Goddard
had touchdowns last year,
three years,
over $8 million a year.
Then Daniel Bellinger
gets the
Brian Dable
just generosity
for a cronyism gift
of $8 million a year
at three years.
And then Goddard's at seven,
which is just barely over what Adam Troutman is making.
Now, Goddard is 31.
Right.
That's a big deal.
Yes.
He has had injuries, no doubt.
But it is very hard to read those and not think Dallas Goddard basically was like willing to come back for whatever it was.
He wants to be an eagle and doesn't want to go anywhere.
I think that is a fair read on the situation.
I think it's important to note that I'm sure his agent had a feel for where his market would have been in free agency.
and my guess is that it wasn't significantly higher
than what he got on this one-year deal.
The only thing I would push back on
when you look at the list is these are multi-year deals
for players that have theoretical upside.
I'm still not saying that that explains why he's that low.
The number is lower than I would have expected.
But I do think, again, it speaks to the fact
that Dallas Goddard wanted to be with the Eagles.
He wanted to come back for a ninth season.
And I think that that took at least relative precedence
over trying to extract more value elsewhere.
Certainly the longer it goes on,
even the less leverage Gunnard has
because there are, you know,
the teams who are really tight-down needy
have already paid for their tight ends.
Right.
This is a tough one for fans,
I imagine,
because,
I mean,
the Eagles really squeezed him here.
Yeah.
Like,
they really squeezed him.
And so on the one hand,
it's like,
okay,
that's good for the cap
that we're getting this guy
for less money than he deserves.
On the other hand,
like,
are you really going to be,
you're going to be really rooting
for management over the player?
Yeah,
you know,
you don't want to give out
bad contracts, but like the guy's been on that, he's going to entering year nine,
been a very important player for the team, you know, can't get him to eight.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, you, they got, you know, how he has to do his job.
I was going to say, but it's also like, you don't need to, you don't need to celebrate.
All right, we screwed the employee again.
I understand where you're coming from, but this is like part and parcel.
I don't know if I use this question the right way, but let's see if I, let's try it on
for size.
Part and parcel with like what Howie Roseman is as a general manager, right?
where he's going to extract as much value as he can and every negotiation he can.
And it does remind me of the way that it's funny because like you mentioned in the short you did on YouTube, which if you're listening to this, go check out the short, give it a like.
Make sure you watch it all the way through to that.
That helps us out.
But in the short, you mentioned that he's going to play a full ninth season theoretically, which will put him past Zach Ertz in terms of tenure with the Eagles.
Not in games played, but 10 years.
And why is that?
Because Zach Hertz had a similar situation toward the end of his Eagles tenure.
where, you know, he wanted a new contract and Hallie Roseman wasn't willing to go to the number that he wanted.
So I think this is, again, it's maybe not the most, it doesn't make you feel great as a fan that, like,
franchise icons have to get squeezed at the end of their careers.
But I think it is, you kind of take it because it's part of what makes Howie Roseman such a great GM.
You know, it's like part of what makes a Rieck Wollin signing possible is because he's constantly
checking on these things and, you know, it just has like, um, just like a never-ending motor when it comes to, like,
finding these types of value deals in the market.
Yeah, I know.
But it's also, I mean, frankly, probably.
It's why, like, Howie doesn't get an egg in the NFLPA report.
Yes, exactly.
I'm so glad you said that.
Because when the report card came out, I said a good GM probably doesn't get an A in the
report card.
There are enough players on the team that think I'd be making more if not for Howie.
So that's like, and the team might not be as good.
what do you mean the team might not be as good the team might not be as good because if you are not
if you have an a yes exactly right yeah yeah if you're if you were if you were if you were not squeezing
value every every little place along the way you don't get enough opportunity for it to accumulate so
that you can add one extra player right right yeah but yeah the guys in locker room are probably like
this guy wants to act like he's my best friend meanwhile he's robbing me of money yeah no i mean but
it again. It's, and I think we have all had experiences like that in our life, not with like friends,
but like whenever you have to negotiate for something, you definitely have eventually had somebody,
whether it's our salesman, a realtor, whatever it is, that it's like, man, oh, this person has an
interest of their own that is against my interest or at least is, you know, different than my
interests. And you know, you have to navigate that. So it's a human thing. It's very human thing.
It's a very relatable experience. But it's, it's, it's good value for the Eagles. Let me just say,
Dallas gotter here. I would have never guessed that Charlie Kohler would be making more money
on an annual value from standpoint than Dallas Goddard. Yeah, you could have definitely,
you could have definitely exactly, right? But average annual value. Yeah, that's. So if we flashed us
back up one more time, Lindsay, which, which if do you think that Goddard is the best value there?
Or if I had, if you had seen these contracts heading into free agency, you didn't know what the
Eagles were going to do, which one do you think you would have been happiest with?
I mean, it'd be on brand for me to say Chig O'Conquo.
I do think that that's a good contract if you were going to sign Chico Concco.
But realistically, Goddard, I mean, yeah, I think Goddard's the answer.
I think Goddard's the best value.
Especially, like, one thing we haven't talked about, we talked about on the emergency pod,
I think bringing Dallas Goddard back really draft proofs you where you can draft Kenyon Sadiek in the first round.
If he's there at 23, you can pull the trigger, you can feel great,
because all of your tight ends are on one of your contracts.
You would sign Chico Conco to a three-year deal.
I'm not saying you wouldn't have drafted Kenyan Sadiq,
but at least the fit would have been a little bit worse
in that two to three-year window that you had there.
I think if not for Gondon, I would just take the likely deal.
Yeah, sign the guy at the top of the market
because it came in a little low.
Yeah, it's interesting that the tight-end market really didn't.
It was like a loop more market.
I think I would probably rather, I don't know.
Would you rather have, would you rather have likely?
and a $6 million corner
or woolen and Goddard.
I'm trying to visualize this $6 million corner.
It's Nashon Wright,
who went for five and a half.
I think I'd rather have done that.
No, no, no, no.
I think knowing you get Goddard, it's probably better.
Yeah, Goddard is the answer.
Yeah, I think...
I think that it's probably better.
Yeah.
If it were like, if you took Goddard off the board
and it's like, you know,
a similar tight end as that phrase.
That was in Joku.
Yeah, I would have rather had
Nashan Wright and likely, I think.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I like Nashon right.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Good discussion.
Yeah.
Let's take a quick break
on the P.H.O.Y. Eagles podcast here
from some sponsors
and on the other side,
talking tears.
We got the AJ Brown of it all, too.
Yeah, we'll be quick on it.
Yeah, we'll be quick.
You know what I want to hear about AJ.
Just a few said.
Some interesting reporting from the big guy
from Cuzz this morning that we will let you know
about and talking tears.
Tears for fears.
If you love the NFL draft, then this is your edge.
The diehard NFL draft guide is built and based off of thousands of hours of film study
being boots on the ground, shrine bowl, senior bowl, combine, talking to scouts, talking
to coaches, really getting a feel for where these players are best going to fit and project
in the NFL.
We're talking hundreds of players in this class.
There is no comparison.
This is the best draft guide for Eagles fans.
get player comps, you get all the data, and you get Fran's insight. And here's the bottom line.
There is nobody in the entire world who was better suited to be an NFL draft expert and an
Eagles expert and my good friend, Fran Duff. All right, so what are you going to find in the guide?
Well, you're going to find player comps. You're going to find strengths, weaknesses, physical
tools, analytics, highlights, analysis from all across the space, everything you need
to try and determine who are the best players for your team. You get access to the guide if you're a diehard,
And you'll also get access to a couple of individual breakdowns I'm doing specifically for your team.
All right, look, if you want surface level breakdowns, you can get them anywhere.
But if you want independent thought, if you want thorough breakdowns on all of these prospects, become a diehard, get the guide.
Or you can get access to the 2026 guide for just $26.

Back in the PHY Eagles podcast, but Wolf and E.J. Smith.
How about that?
How about that fran ad?
Oh, man.
That has got some good energy in that ad.
Love that.
The draft guide is so good.
Like they just listen to a commercial about it.
I don't need to wax poetic, but like, I don't know where I would be.
I just don't.
I mean, if you like, if you care at all about the NFL draft, there's just, there's not a better
value.
I mean, it's unbelievable the amount of stuff you get.
It's like crazy.
It's, it's the thing I like most about it is that it really caters to all audiences.
Like if you just want to know like the 30 second quick, tell me what I need to know
about this player.
You can get that.
You want to watch the film.
You can do that.
If you want to like learn everything about a player's back.
background, yeah, everything.
All right.
Should we do it, Lindsay?
We do 60 seconds on AJ Brown.
Bring back the AJ Brown minute.
Briefly open.
Okay.
Ready?
Set?
Go.
All right.
So the Dallas Goddard of it all with AJ Brown here is the expectation is that
bringing back Dallas Goddard means that the egos have more cap space,
enough that they could trade AJ Brown if necessary.
However, Anthony reported this morning that things AJ's staying.
Bought a house.
The team has talked to him.
I'm willing to believe that.
I think it's very clear that Eagles have not gotten their asking price met.
And if they think that AJ is willing to come back,
that's the best solution.
So I don't even need all 60 seconds.
That was 40.
That's it.
what I would add in my 15 seconds here
is that I've never gotten the sense
that there's not a path back for AJ
to return to the team
especially in the in the framing
one more year
let's give this window
one last chance you know like
one like if it's a one season thing
I could see it happening for sure
I got it in
you got it good super chat from CDP
who wants to know EJ
did anyone else think
the Oscars had Dundee vibes
no
no
No.
Because that's your only reference point for award.
The Ospreys have dundee vibes.
They do not.
Do they do?
Truly.
I thought that WBC game last night had big dundee vibes.
No.
Guy who's only cultural reference point is the dundies.
I know that's what you like to think is how I come at this, but I stand on what I said.
The ospreys is like the dundies.
Wrong.
All right.
Tell me about these tears that you've prepared.
I didn't prepare these.
Shout out to our social guy, Ben.
I'm not taking credit for his work.
I mean, he came up with the idea of tears.
No, he came up.
Yeah, he did just basically send us a tier list.
That's fair.
But, you know, we were a team.
We worked together.
Yeah.
So he had the idea that we put the Eagles free agents into tears.
And I categorize them.
What's up with you right now?
You just went off the rails.
The AJ Brownman, it like turned you into a tyrant.
I should say it brought out your tyrant tyrannical side
because you've been a tyrant for a while now.
How dare you?
What a tyrant would say.
No, a tyrant would yell at you.
A tyrant would excommunicate you.
Do you have the lists of free agent signings?
No.
I think there's five of them.
All right.
Well, we have five tiers.
Maybe we'll hit all of them.
So the first tier we're going to do is Sequin Barkley tier.
That is elite, elite free agency signing.
Next is the Alshan Jeffrey tier.
Solid free agency signing.
I think that undersells Alshan a little bit.
Yeah, it's hard to like find, like who would you say?
Like I wouldn't say Rodney McLeod.
Who is like a very good example of like a solid?
James Bradbury.
I think James Bradbury and Alshon Jeffrey aren't that far apart.
They actually are quite similar.
Like playoff.
What's the word you would use?
I was going to use faux paul.
I'm not sure that's the right.
Oh, I see what you're saying.
But I think Aschon, but you're remembering the end of Alshan.
Like the importance of Alshan in 2017 when they signed him was more impactful than Bradbury.
Yeah, but Bradbury was like, no, Bradbury, they got great value for Bradbury.
They signed him as a cap casualty.
Yes.
And he was an all pro.
They got great value.
No doubt about it.
Alshan completely changed them being able to throw the ball on offense.
Right.
But I would say both of those.
signings. One guy was the first major piece. No, no, no, I'm not arguing. I'm not arguing that
Alshan isn't, he's a, he's a solid signing. I also think that James, James Bradbury and Alshan
are on Hargrave in the chat. That's a pretty good one. Jayvonne Hargrave is the answer,
CDP. That's Kevin Hargars is it because I think, because it was a lot of money, but he did, it was
worth it. I think both of these guys could be elite, like Alshan and James Bradbury. Like,
they might be on the low end of elite. We should just do it all of Eagles free agency signings.
Yeah, I'd say J-Von Hardgrave, Chris Long.
Okay.
You want to rename it then?
The J-V-V-O-N-Long.
But Garrett Blunt.
Yeah, that's like more toward the bottom end.
Who's the L'O-Y-Jaxons here?
You sign him to do a job?
He did the job.
That's fine.
That's it.
Yeah, fine is literally what I wrote.
The Aziz.
Foin.
Foin.
How do you spell that if you were going to spell it in the text?
Probably F-O-I-N-E.
So I don't spell it like that.
We use F-I-I-I-I-I-N.
Yeah, just like eight eyes.
Yeah, I get that.
Anyway, the Aziz Ojalari tier.
Okay.
And this is a Ben edition.
It was even how I can't bat a thousand.
I mean, I guess I could have taken credit for that.
It's also true.
And then respectfully, congrats on his retirement, the Bryce Huff tier, which is a lot.
Yeah, that's good.
Yeah.
Okay.
Who do you want to do first?
Let's start with Rekwolin, I guess, right?
This is an interesting one because it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it,
feels boom or bust.
Yeah.
Like I want to give it the Adori Jackson's tier.
I think you're going to get what you pay for,
but it's so much more likely that it's either very good or bad.
Yeah.
It feels unlikely that he's going to give you just exactly what you're expecting.
Yeah, I would say.
Because of the type of player he is.
There is the potential.
It's like the Sequin Barkley tier.
and it's like the Eagles won a Super Bowl
because they had the best cornerback trail in the NFL.
I actually don't think it could go as low as the Bryce Huff tier.
It's hard to envision a world where where Reek-Wollen is like such a liability.
That's a, I mean, the Huff thing is because he was bad for the money and they then had to take a lot of thing.
And he also is like, he's not, I mean, he might struggle with penalties.
I think the James Bradbury thing is like if he has like a playoff moment in a bad way,
that could push him further down.
I think there's a,
there is a 15 turkey scenario where
Vic benches him.
I think you're catastrophizing.
I've been using that word recently.
It's possible.
I think we heard Julia,
our,
our Julia used the term catastrophizing
and I was like, oh, I do that.
And now I'm trying to stop doing it.
I just think it's a possibility.
Yeah, but even then,
it's the Azizosolari tier.
It's like, okay, you sign a guy
to a one-year deal.
That's a lot of money.
That's their big,
signing the off season.
All right.
You talked me
into the boom or bust
potential.
If I had to put it
somewhere,
I guess I would put it
in the Dory Jackson.
I'd put it in the
Alshan Jeffrey tier.
Okay.
I think that's where it sits now.
I thought we,
I'm sorry,
Javon Hargrave's here.
Yeah.
I'm going to put it there
and I think it has a real chance
to move up.
I like that signing though.
I'm,
I don't know.
It's a lot of money,
but it's also like
the money speaks to
I think it's a worthwhile
being higher.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, I think you, I think you're opening up the possibility to hit the seal.
I think you're underselling it a little bit, putting it in the fine tier.
Like, you're allowed to be excited about the signing.
Yeah, but we've already established that you are an easy grader.
And I am not.
That's fair.
That's fair.
That is duly noted.
I am an easy grader.
I won't.
I'll take that one on the chin.
All right.
Who's next?
Should we do them in order or should we do them in like interest?
level or as they just come to us.
As they come to you.
Johnny Munt.
I think that is an order.
I was thinking about Johnny Munt.
Same.
In the shower today.
Same. Same.
As we all do.
Why were you thinking about Johnny Munt in the shower?
All jokes aside.
That's like the one time I have to think about the shower.
Actually, so were you thinking about Johnny Munt in the shower or were you thinking about
Johnny Munt in the shower?
I was in the shower thinking about Johnny Munt.
Okay, good.
I think we should.
I was not thinking about being in the shower.
I just
Here we go
Pour cold water on the blocking tight end
We've seen this movie before
Yeah
I mean the way that
Howie talked about
I need to reevaluate the tight end position
And the only difference is that he added
Johnny Munt who is 33 years old and was just cut
Like I just want to let's
It hasn't been solved
Johnny Munt is not the
run game panacea just because he knows Sean Mannion.
Don't be a hater.
I think it is a very smart thing for them to have done.
Yeah.
It makes a lot of sense.
It checks the box.
So it is good business.
I just want to caution that like he might not even make the team.
I think he'll make the team.
What I would say, setting aside my like affinity for the type of player that Johnny
Munt is, Kevin O'Connell called him the best.
tight end three in the NFL.
And right now,
on the Eagles depth chart,
he is projected,
I would say, is the second tight end.
Yeah.
So it speaks to the fact
that the Eagles have work left to do
at the position.
I think that they will draft someone,
not in the early rounds,
but maybe starting in the third round,
maybe in the fourth.
And then we should evaluate that group.
They have a lot of guys there,
which I think speaks to the fact
that there's a lot of uncertainty
about what it's going to look like
by week one.
But yeah,
I think as long as they draft
somebody, you'll feel fine about the room by the time we get to training camp.
Okay.
So, I'm going to Dory Jackson tier.
Yeah.
He's being signed to do a job.
That feels right for him.
I think that I'm with you on that one.
I'm putting equal and higher, though.
Contract details here, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, which is, it probably speaks to it not being very much.
Yeah.
Where are you putting Grand Calcutera?
Do we count Grant Calcutera?
Sure.
Yeah, we can do that.
I mean, it's our exercise.
We can do what we want.
Damn right
Dory Jackson
There's no downside here
I mean
Yeah there's a chance he might not be on the team
He's the one that might not make the team
As much as I mean I like Grant
Like as a person he's a nice guy
So but yeah
I think there's a chance
As a blocker he's a nice guy
Not as a blocker
Yeah that's the joke
As a receiver
As a receiving threat
At tight end as a Dallas Goddard
back up, I think he's fine.
So for that reason, I keep him
as a person, he's a nice guy.
As a blocker, he's a nice guy.
I get the joke.
It took me a minute to get that one.
I don't know why.
Okay.
You said it was Monday morning before the show.
That's true.
All right, next up.
Okay, now I'm trying to remember all the signings.
I think it was.
Jonathan Jones.
Jonathan Jones.
You know what's really bad?
Every time I have to think of his,
name. Like there's a, the back of my head is like, don't say John Johnson. Don't mess this up.
Jonathan Jones.
Jonathan Jones. Should I do the whole show tomorrow on an Irish accent? No. Absolutely not.
Please. Done.
You know, the chat's going to want you to do it. Marnan tell you. I'm already annoyed.
You don't even do a good Irish accent. I dare you. What time is it right now?
too 30
too tarty
too tarty
H. H.LY Eagles podcast
I hate this so much
actually
the way that Irish people say Ireland
is very fun
Ireland
Ireland
Ireland
I don't think
oh I think I'm better at it than you
no yeah I think I am
oh oh
SRG plays it
EJ's is better
Ireland?
All right, we'll do it tomorrow.
We'll just have an Irish off.
I think.
A whole show.
Whoever lasts longer wins.
I think I listen to,
if I get this wrong,
I'm going to feel really bad.
One of the podcasts I listen to,
I'm pretty sure he's Irish.
Shout out to For the Love of Paul McGraw
podcast,
Neil.
I think he's Irish.
So I hear an Irish accent on a lot.
I'm maybe going to go to work tonight.
Find my in.
Find my in phrase, you know?
No.
You're not,
I would rather you not do this.
Do you think that the people of Ireland would appreciate it?
You think that they would be like, oh, this is great?
No, they'd be offended.
They'd be like your accent sucks.
All right.
I'm just digging my own grave here.
Yeah, I mean, the more you protest.
I think you should do it.
I think it'll be great.
All right, I'll listen to you.
Thanks.
First time for everything.
What are you given Jonathan Jones?
Um,
ah,
this might be an Aziz Osialari tier,
but I kind of feel like it's...
They're not giving him any money.
It's like the stock standard of Dory Jackson here.
Most of these things, there are,
there's no real downside.
Yeah, it is like as a Dory Jackson as a Dory Jackson could be.
Yeah, Lindsay, why don't you put up a poll
on whether I should do the whole show in an Irish accent tomorrow?
Oh, he already did.
Wow.
Hmm.
Whose is better?
Uh, who's winning?
Me.
Oh, it's close.
Yeah, okay.
I thought my hourland is better.
Oh, see now that there's attention.
I see you.
I see you voting.
Actually, I could vote.
All right.
Dallas Goddard's return.
I'm going to put that in the...
I guess you forgot about Michael Carter.
The restructured contract.
Yeah, I mean, he never technically left, but...
Yeah.
I might put...
I don't want to put everybody in the Adori Jackson's here.
Although, I guess that just speaks to the nature of their pre-agency class.
I would say the Michael Carter deal.
Yeah, I mean, there's nowhere else you could put it.
I'm not going to force it into the J-Von-Hardrave-Tier.
Dallas-Gowder's return, I would put in the J-Von-Hardtierreter, though.
To get a titem with the production that Dallas-Coddard has had,
I mean, there is the interest concern.
I think that's their best value signing of the off-season so far.
Yep, I agree.
There's a chance that it could be pushed to the Sequin-Barkley tier.
There's a chance that in like week 10, we're like, man,
can you believe that they got Dallas Goddard back on a one-year deal for $7 million?
I think that requires him turning back into an elite blocker.
Yeah, I agree.
Yeah.
Yeah, do you think that the injury history was the main reason why, because, again, I know he wasn't officially a free agent,
but I'm sure his agent had an idea of what the offers would be if he entered free agency.
Do you think the injury history was like what scared teams away?
Probably.
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah, age.
I mean?
Age, injury, history.
I mean, I don't think the teams are thinking like, oh, he wasn't quite the blocker that he was, you know, a few years ago.
I don't think that that's a big factor.
All right.
Time to take a break.
Back with more.
One another side.
Why don't you send us to break in an Irish accent?
No.
I don't think.
Can I do it in a different accent?
Yeah, I guess.
But that's not going to help your cause.
I'm going to do it in a, like.
a Birmingham accent.
Okay, but just everybody know,
if he can't do this Irish accent on command,
you have to vote for me in the poll.
No, you don't.
You can vote on my ability
to do different accents.
But that's not the thing.
Hey, here we go.
Birmingham.
All right, we're going to go to Brike.
That's Australian.
Oh, that was so bad.
What is that?
Oh, what a...
I mean, Bryce Huff here.
That was awful.
We're taking it to Brike.
Brike.
they say that
you talk such a big game
about your specific
attacking it to brag
we're gonna go to brag
that's Birmingham
I got it's Australian
that was not Australian
the first one was bad
that was bad
yeah
no that was I recovered
I recovered
you begged me to do my
accents for like weeks
I do it and then you ridicule me
this is why I didn't want to do it
well that's fair point
but I didn't think
I think it was going to be that bad
we were all rooting for you
we were rooting for you
We were rooting for you.
Total meltdown.
Oh, that's good.
All right.
Come back to see if you're still here on the other side.

Hello, back on the PHAO Y Eagles podcast,
Bo Wolf and EJ Smith, who is just getting dragged?
I know, the chat.
I've never seen the chat more out.
Well, I guess I have.
Rightfully so.
Yeah, I understand.
You deserve every little bit of that.
I actually will agree that I deserve it.
I knew that there was a chance that would not go well,
which is why I was reluctant to do it.
But you know what?
it's important that I get these reps
maybe in a year
maybe in a year I'll be better
shots you know yeah
because I do the accents like in my car
like just like by myself
yeah the lights are on
pressure's on
the only way you're gonna get better
is by practicing
that's right
we'll give you another shot tomorrow
no I think I need some time
all right
we got one more
player in a tier
yeah Arnold Ebikati
yes I feel like
we should
be
definitive with this one. I don't think we should just stick it in the Adori Jackson tier. I think we should
either go the Aziz Ojalari tier or the Javon Hargrave tier. Let's, you know, let's make a statement.
Okay.
I think I'm going to put it in the Javon Hargrave tier. Really? I'm an optimist on this. Why?
I just, I think there is a better chance of him being a productive edge rusher. Like, think about like
early season
Josh Ushay
not like
you know
the whole body of work
but just like that
that stretch where it's like okay
like all of a sudden this guy
is actually
somewhat productive
that doesn't get him
if he's early season
Josh Usha
that doesn't get him
to the gym
our grave
if you're yeah
I mean what are you expecting
from him
I mean they gave him
they gave him real money
yeah on a one year
like but it was still
a prove it deal
yeah but it's
up to
up to seven million
yeah but what's it
It was based like 4.4.3.
Yeah, that's real money.
He's like, they gave Josh Ushey nothing.
What did the, what do the,
what do Zolari have last year?
I think Osirari had around the same.
Yeah, it's like the same range as Osirari.
I think like up to like, yeah,
if he plays super well, then it's real money.
You know where I'm putting it?
If you put it in the Adori Jackson tier,
then this whole exercise.
I mean, I guess it tells you the nature of the size.
He's here to do a job.
He's going to be the number three or number four at Dresher.
He's going to be the number three or number four at Dresher.
He's going to be the number three.
number three edge rusher until they find a better edge rusher and he can be the number four
eddresher. He has to be better than Ushay. I think he is better than Ushay. I don't think Ushay
was able to stay on the field in rundowns. Yeah, that's fair. I think that could he can't.
You know what I mean, though. There was at least a very short stretch where it felt like Josh Ushay
was going to be at least part of the rotation. I think that is at least the goal. It's not the
goal, but it's at least like he has to be able to do that.
Ebokady has to be able to play a starter's share of snaps in games that Jailax Hunter Nolan Smith misses.
Yeah.
And I think he can do that without being a real problem.
And there's a chance that he is, you know, actually productive, you know, multiple sacks.
So you're probably right.
I think, I think that while Rick Wollan's edition is about the ceiling that he brings,
I actually think Evacchate's edition
is about the floor that he brings.
I think he has less upside
but more guaranteed.
Less upside than Rick Wollin for sure.
But I think the allure of him
is less about upside
and more about competence.
I agree, but I don't think
you can completely discount the idea
that he could turn into a productive player.
Sure.
He's still, like, the argument is
that his best football is ahead of him.
I think you're right that
I've been really trying,
to not just like cluster all of these signings into the Adori Jackson tier,
but I think again, it probably speaks more to the types of players
they've been targeting in free agency,
is that they have been signing guys to low-cost deals,
like low-risk to try and fill a spot,
you know, try to do a job, which, you know,
is fine with the state of their roster.
So, okay.
So we have Rieke Wulin and Dallas Goddardt in the Javon-Hardgrave tier.
You do.
Oh, yeah, you're...
I've got everybody in the Adori-Jackson tier.
I mean, it's just like, what are we doing here?
Just feel something.
Believe in something.
Like do we do?
One of the guys on the USA baseball team, the world,
the world baseball classic USA men's team.
Yeah, the cops.
Yes, those guys.
Who call them the cops?
I mean, have you been paying attention to their whole thing?
You got people out there having fun.
It's a baseball tournament.
And then you got like,
I hate you so much.
Anyway, one of those guys kind of looks like Fade Ratha.
I don't know which one is.
I don't remember his name.
I said to my,
I said to Julie,
I was like,
that guy kind of looks like Fade Ratha.
He kind of has those vibes too.
Like,
he was like yelling after he flyed out,
I think it was.
I should remember his name.
He was at the bottom of the order.
Somebody will,
somebody will know what I'm talking about.
Okay.
All right.
We're going to take our last break so EJ can compose yourself.
I do need to compose myself after that.
We'll be back with more on the other side.

Back in PHA Y. Eagles podcast.
Bowen E.J. Smith.
We have some breaking news on Arnold Ebikady, who's speaking to the media right now,
which might make him the only person to.
Escape the Adora Jackson tier as far as I'm concerned.
Yeah, he stock up for you now.
We just learned that Arnold Abakady likes to go by A.K.
His middle name is Kevin.
So it's his initials.
I can appreciate.
What is that from?
Come on, man.
Now I'm disappointed.
I feel like I should know what it's from based off of your reaction.
Home alone?
Oh, I don't feel okay about that.
I've seen Home Alone, but it's not like formative for me or anything.
I saw it like two years ago.
For the first time?
Yeah.
Wow.
That's wild.
I mean, I've seen it.
Okay.
It was maybe a blind spot.
Anyway, AK.
You like AK.
I mean, I like an AK.
Yeah.
His partner had a baby.
Yeah, last Monday.
There's a lot going on.
First day of free agency.
That's tough.
Yeah.
I mean, tough.
Yeah, obviously.
Yeah.
Unfortunate timing.
I mean, even that feels mean.
to say it's unfortunate timing for the baby to be born.
It's just, you know, he had a lot going on.
That's fine.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't think he would trade it, you know?
Yeah, I agree with you.
You don't need to convince me.
My daughter was born, and then the next day they signed Aaron Rogers.
So, that was a big week in our house.
And by they, she means the Jets who are, who Mr. Lindsay supports.
Well, the sickos know that.
Speaking of which.
Let's take a second here, which we should have done at the top of the show.
Oh, yeah.
Absolutely.
We got to give it up, give it up.
But congratulations.
Yes, I should do like that.
And Mr. Lindsay for leading a state championship over the weekend for the Lennepie.
Is that how that's pronounced?
Mm-hmm.
Women's basketball team, girls' basketball team.
Incredible.
Fantastic.
Second in three years.
Mm-hmm.
Dynastic.
Handing out L's.
Yeah.
I did there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's all that film he watches.
That's awesome.
A lot of film.
Give it up, give it up.
Yeah.
Got up Mr. Lindsay.
It's very exciting.
What was the, was, how exciting was the, like, how excited was he afterwards?
They were super excited.
I, like, had the two kids and, like, I had family with me, like, helping.
But I got my son that was asleep the whole second half, so he wasn't super excited.
But it was good.
No, they were super excited.
It's like, you know.
what they work all year for.
A lot of hard work, yeah.
Those are like lifelong memories, too.
So special.
Fantastic.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's a good group of girls.
How was the atmosphere at the rack?
It was good.
It was fun.
A lot of like, the like middle school girls who will come to his high school, like, when.
So, you know, they think it's like super cool.
It was fun.
Two years ago, the boys team was in it, too.
So it was like the whole school was there.
But only Mr. Lindsay could turn her, you know, rebut.
build that quickly.
That's a real accomplishment right there.
Yeah.
Let me answer this phone real quick.
Hello?
Oh, yeah.
The weather outside is like crazy.
Okay.
Oh, it's a tornado watch.
Yeah, you just got like a tornado watch.
Well, it's from the school.
I just wanted to make sure.
Yeah, respectful.
I respect it.
This is what I meant to say.
I don't know why I said respectful.
A weird show for me.
As always tomorrow.
No, I feel fine about the show.
Okay.
Good point in the chat.
AK, last time the Eagles had someone who went by AK,
the great Adrian Killens.
Mm.
He of the one carry for negative nine yards, I believe.
That was, in 2020.
That's my...
Okay, it was 2020, so we didn't probably get to meet him
or interact with him.
Yeah.
Maybe on Zoom.
AK.
Big AK.
He's a junior.
Oh.
Yeah.
How about that?
AKJ.
All right.
What do you got for us here, the depth chart wise?
Yeah. So on on P-H-O-I.com, you guys can see I went through the Eagles offensive depth chart.
I feel like after a week of free agency, you do kind of, you know, it's a good time to take stock,
figure out where they still have needs and kind of where you think that they'll be able to address those needs.
Going through it, I think the biggest spot that stands out to me, and I'm not saying this is going to be a big surprise for anybody,
but they really still need some depth along the offensive line.
And they've really only lost in those positions.
And I know that you'd probably expect them to prioritize it in the draft.
But I think even still, you probably are going to want to at least have two additions in free agency before the draft.
I think a swing tackle is the one that really jumps out to me.
You know, Fred Johnson is still out there.
Would you sign?
I mean, I think the Eagles probably would sign Fred Johnson if he were receptive to coming back.
I think Fred Johnson is probably disappointed that.
He hasn't signed somewhere else already.
Right.
I would agree with that.
But that doesn't mean that he won't still get an opportunity to go somewhere that gives him a clearer path to starting.
Which, you know, again, I talked to him at the end of the season.
He made it clear.
He feels like he played well enough to earn at least an opportunity to compete for a starting job.
You know, maybe the way that his market is gone, he's more receptive to coming back to the Eagles than he was at the end of the year.
But I really do think that like the way that they went about the swing tackle.
position last year, you can't run that back. You can't go into the draft needing it because last
year showed you, sometimes the board's not going to fall in a way where you can find somebody that's
going to be able to be your first tackle off the bench. And with Lane Johnson and Jordan Milata
as like the top two, I still, you know, those guys each have enough of an injury history that
I think they're going to need something. And that's just somebody who like, I actually think
Cameron Williams is a very interesting player. You can't go into training camp thinking like maybe Cameron
Williams will take the leap and he can be
a swing tackle for us.
And I don't think they will. I do
think, yeah, they need to sign
somebody who has position flex
probably to a non-guaranteed contract
who you hope that if Cameron Williams makes that jump
he can beat that person out and obviously
draft picks and there's
a path for them as well.
Right. Yeah. I think they need to draft proof that group.
It could just be one signing but
one or two. Exactly. Yeah.
And I mean, if you signed
like not Matt Pryor, obviously,
but a Matt Pryor type that can play all four.
Then yeah,
you feel okay about that.
Yeah,
it's,
I had someone asked me on social media earlier today,
like,
could Cameron Williams and Drew Kendall be like,
the players that they're kind of penciling in there?
It's like, sure, they could.
Yeah.
But I don't think that that's like,
you need,
yeah,
exactly.
It's the same thing that we say with Michael Carter,
where it's like,
yeah, Michael Carter,
like,
he could move to safety and be really good.
And, you know,
he actually could compete for that job,
but you want him to come.
compete for the job. You don't want them to be, you know, the clear path. And it's March 16th.
They've got plenty of time to do it. But yeah, going through the depth chart, I think that
swing tackle spot is the one. That's probably where I'd put, I'd say that's the biggest need on
offense right now is a swing tackle. If you believe AJ Brown is coming back. Right. Yeah.
Okay. What's your, what's your, I don't know, revisit AJ Brown after we did that three
three-fli-ups, but how many turkeys right now on him coming back?
coming back on the team week one might surprise you i'm going to say
57 57 you were at like 80 the other way before i don't know if i was quite that far i think
let me explain why i've swung so far the other way before when i was talking about the
my belief that he would have been traded it was mostly about what i thought the eagle's asking
price would be and whether or not I thought the teams would be willing to meet that price.
And I think what we've seen over the last month indicates that the Eagles asking price is a little
bit higher than I expected it to be. And teams aren't that close to it right now. So maybe that
changes in the next few months. But what you said about a month ago, that's probably a couple
weeks ago, about could this all be an effort by the Eagles to keep the asking price high,
nobody meets it and then they go to AJ and say look you know we tried you know we we set a
price that we thought was fair nobody met it you know that we we didn't have a suitor that you know
was suit we didn't have a suitor and i think for for AJ again i don't think that the path is like so
broken that there's no way back i think he'd be happy to come back as well um especially if there
isn't a team out there that's willing to pay what the eagles are asking so for that reason yeah
i'm i'm slightly leaning him coming back at this point
Yeah.
What are you putting it at?
Back.
AJ comes back.
How many turkeys?
Week one?
Yeah, week one.
I don't think like trade deadline, like let's leave that alone, for now at least.
48.
48?
Okay.
So we're not that different.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I think I was closer to that.
I think I've swung less than you have.
Yeah, but I also think that's how the situation is played out, you know?
like just being real with our listeners.
That means that I won turkeys along the way.
Yeah, okay.
I think that's true.
Bye.
I mean, there have been times in the last week
where like we were on high alert
for an emergency pod for this trade.
So I think it's been close,
but I think at this point, with the momentum stalled,
I am less confident that there are teams out there
willing to pay what the Eagles are going to ask.
Now we should say,
given the moves that have happened so far,
you are in the lead in full world order.
And it is almost to the point
where it is mathematically assured
that we will have a new champion this year
because Fran is so far behind
that it's almost impossible
for him to come back,
but there is a very narrow path
that relies on Ben Van Van Sumeran
and someone else,
Adori Jackson,
coming back. Those are the two.
I was like, who are you not going to name? But if AJ comes back
and BG comes back,
not guaranteed,
and all of a sudden it tightens up between you and I.
So don't count your chickens just yet.
Yeah, Lindsay, would you mind? Do you want to close up on me right here?
No victory laps. No early victory laps.
We learned our lesson in Swooper.
Tell me when the results are actually in.
Big, big swing here is Marcus Epps.
If Marcus Epps gets re-signed, then all of a sudden we are back to neck and neck.
Francis, I hear no bell.
That's what I'm saying.
I learned my lesson with Swooper.
I came in here after like, after three weeks.
It's like, is Swooper an easy game?
You guys make it seem so hard.
And with that, we prepare you head on over.
Do all p.hly.com, if you're watching on fast, and join us.
in Bovertime.
That was a flat Bovertime.
You seem sad that it's Bovertime.
Been fun.
Yeah, that was convincing.
I've had a great time.
You want to hear my Irish accent again?
Let me give you Birmingham.
You can't do Birmingham.
You can't even say it wrong.
I'm going to do Birmingham. Ready?
All right, let's go.
Jordan Milata.
No, that's not it.
That was you.
That was you doing Australian when you said you were going to do
Birmingham. Yeah, but you, that wasn't what you were going for. The people in Birmingham.
That's exactly what that was the joke. No, what do you mean? Whatever. The people in Birmingham,
the people in Birmingham, they like, they really accentuate like the vowel sound. It's like,
you know, if they're talking about like, you know, Leon Bailey, persona non grata, he's on really big
wide. Like, it's not, it's like a very specific type of like inflection that they use for their,
for their vowels. I don't think you're helping yourself. No, that was actually, if you listen to
Birmingham people, like people from Birmingham,
Birmingham people, you will hear that.
The real ones, no.
Go watch peeky blinders and hear how they, like,
hit their vowels.
Roling just.
Oh, me, Shelby.
All right.
I guess that's all we got.
What a ride.
What a ride it has been on this Monday.
Did we miss one of the free agents?
I feel like we missed one of the free agents.
Did you put AK in a tier?
Yeah.
Who did we miss?
We missed somebody.
Oh, well, I'll listen back to it.
I'll make you do it tomorrow.
I don't think we missed anybody.
Michael Carter.
No, he did him.
We didn't do Michael Carter.
No, we did.
He's talked about him.
He's in the Dory Jackson's here.
We did it.
Okay.
Yeah, there's somebody we missed, but it's fine.
I don't think we talk about Michael Carter on the show.
Do we have a super chat?
I thought we read the only super chat.
Joe Rockhead said, don't forget my super chat.
Yeah.
Ah, how was the elevator ride this morning?
Non-existent.
How does Joe Rockhead know about that?
Because Anthony talked about it on the show.
He said it was, he said the elevator this morning was like a carnival ride, but not like, not a roller coaster, not like in a theme park.
Like the backyard carnival, he said where the guy working the ride has no teeth.
He said that's what the elevator felt like this morning.
Yeah, that's very good description.
And I very inaccurately said, is it like Canobles?
Are you familiar with Canobles?
No.
Well, it's a, do you know what Canobles is, Lindsay?
I've heard of it, but I've never been.
Okay.
It's like an old theme park in like Central PA.
I said it was Lancaster.
It's not in Lancaster.
In like Central PA, it's just, yeah.
I feel like those rides would have been there too, but he said it's even worse than that.
Okay.
Yeah.
In your audio feeds
There is a little
Non-Eagles conversation
With me and EJ
That you can listen to
I have one
One
Specific Oscars take
That I had to get off my chest
You can just do it here too
If you want
No you're gonna tell people to listen
But I thought was a good show
Yeah I mean
You can
I feel like the right movies
Reward rewarded
Reward the sickos
Who make it this far into the show
I think it's fine
That was just about the
one part of the telecast.
I didn't watch a minute of the Oscars.
I'm sorry.
That's okay.
Oh, you know what?
Sean Syed.
I texted him because you got in my head about the movie thing, the F1 movie.
I said, you know, Sean, my feelings have progressively been more hurt that you recommended F1 for me.
And his rebuttal is, did you enjoy the movie?
If yes, all else is irrelevant.
And it was a good recommendation, which is true.
Did you enjoy the movie?
I did enjoy the movie.
And then he told me that I did ask him.
I wanted a movie while I was waiting for Eagles News to happen.
So he didn't want to give me anything too deep that I could get pulled away from.
And then he said, I enjoyed F1 and have strongly recommended it to multiple people,
including our coaching tree head, shield Capadia.
And he said, Bo will not ruin my vroom, vroom enjoyment.
And you know what?
He's right.
Like just because it's F1, don't bother Sean right now.
just because it's like a it's a silly f1 movie oh it's not gonna you know titillate me emotionally or
anything like that's like you can just enjoy a movie it doesn't have to be you know and not every single
movie you watch has to be like the most deep like make you think you know i don't like those
movies sometimes just give me something to watch you know he is being you want to talk about
intellectual dishonesty no he's not he knows his audience he knows that movie is not in his top
20 movies from last year which is public information so
So he is trying to not tell you to your face that you think you're a dumb guy.
No, Sean watches like a hundred movies a year.
I know.
Of course it's not going to make his top 20 because he also is like into the artsy movie,
the art of making films.
He knows I'm not that guy.
And that doesn't make me dumb.
I just, you know,
I want a different type of movie.
Very good at movie recommendations.
Yeah.
I agree with that.
But you should also take offense to the fact that he knows that that is up your alley.
It's just he knows that you are like, oh, don't, don't recommend anything basic for me.
I only want the most high-minded intellectual movies ever.
So he recommends them for you.
He knows I'm just, you know, just one of the guys.
Brad Pitt, driving an F-1 car?
Yeah, that sounds pretty entertaining.
I'll watch that.
That's fine.
There's a place for that.
Let's make me dumb.
I'm not poo-pooing popcorn movies.
You kind of are, though.
No, I'm just thinking it's very funny that the one movie he recommended to you.
you is the one that everybody's laughing at for being included.
I don't think anyone's laughing besides you.
That's not true.
Everyone, everyone's laughing.
In the film community?
The film community.
I do not consider myself.
It's laughable that F1 is a Best Picture nominee.
Oh, well, yeah, probably.
But it's, you know, not every movie.
Like, I don't see most of the movies that are, like, nominated for Best Picture.
It's not my, not my thing.
Yeah, I'm not here for the...
It's funny that that's what he recommended to you.
Yeah, I liked it.
I was a good recommendation.
Julia did fall asleep with an hour left and has not gone back to finish the movie yet.
But we'll work on that.
We will work on that.
It's a fine movie.
Totally fine movie.
Yeah.
