This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stucats podcast. I hate cowards. You want to talk trash? You want to talk mess? Talk mess and own it. I hate cowards. Is someone in particular? Yeah, I'm thinking of someone in particular.

Are they in this room? No, they're not in this room. We don't employ cowards around here. Okay, very good. Talking by Dylan. Then Gabriel You didn't like what he said You don't believe him?

I don't believe him So if you don't know Del Gabriel He started for the Browns this weekend He played alright I guess A couple turnovers Afterwards

I mean pick six is bad Afterwards Losing the ball's bad He says There are entertainers And there are competitors My job is to compete Well you can read

into that, right? Let's read into that. I mean... He sure didn't entertain. We know that. Mina said that his first drive looked good, and then I tuned in, and I saw the other drives, and they did not look good. But, you know, at least

he has all the size that you want at the position. My thing is this, man. It's all right. You're in a battle for who's going to get this spot? You're in a battle with another rookie. That guy brings a lot of pizzazz.

to the table, you're trying to position yourself as, I'm the steak and potatoes, and this guy's just all flash, right? We all know that Flacco was starting, right? Yes. This is not... No, but none of them are competing to start week one. They're competing to start like week six. For the future of this franchise, buddy.

But it's constantly being discussed on debate shows, as if Shador Sanders or even Dylan Gabriel, much less so, Kenny Pickett, has anybody else has a chance to start week one for the Cleveland Browns. You know what? It's good to be Joe Flackow. You're right about that. You're right because when else has it ever been, when else have we ever paid attention to the backup quarterback competition? Quinn yours and Zach Wilson. What are you talking about? We're paying attention to that. No one else. This is a national show. We're tastemakers. It's not as sexy when you position it that way. But in league circles, they're all talking like this was always a plan. It doesn't matter. It literally doesn't matter what Chodor does. Joe Flacco is starting week

sure but but we all know that this is for again both of these guys were highly touted prospects despite where shadr was drafted right so this is in essence for the soul in the future of the Cleveland Browns well you're not you're not arguing for week one we're arguing for who's going to be the franchise quarterback one day right but if shader if the brown spent their third round pick on Dylan Gabriel and they never came back and selected sharder Sanders no one would be paying any attention of course not to what Dylan Gabriel is doing Of course not, but Dylan Gabriel would feel like this is my team. I'm not going to start in week one, but eventually the keys are going to get handed to me,

and maybe it happens next year. Maybe it happens, like you guys said in week six. The other thing, too, is they're probably assessing, all right, this next quarterback class is going to be really good in 26 coming out of college. Like, are we going to, are we going to try and take another quarterback. They have eight. They can't continue. But they can, right? If Gabriel's not good, if Shedur is not good.

If they have Flacco, can't pick it. They have Snoop also. They also have Snooply and they also have, you know, the one who should not be named. So we've got seven quarterbacks trying to vie for face of the franchise. Joe Flack was too old. He's going to be gone. Kenny Pickett is a journeyman at this point. He's not good.

So you've got these two guys and it's like, all right, if they're not good this year, next year, if the Browns are going to be bad, which I think they will, they're going to have a good spot to get a good quarterback next year. We were talking at the beginning about the comment, though. Like, was that a shot at Chador? Dylan Gabriel claims he's been saying this. He said it at college. Like, it's just one of his sayings.

That's his sayings. That the media's, you know, the entertainers, and we're competing. So, like, I don't know. I kind of believe that. Like, we're supposed to know Dylan Gabriel lore? But it's just like, but you're taking it and just assuming it's a shot. And he clarified. I'm just passing along his notes.

This ain't exactly Whalen Utani. I'm just pointing out. You said it seems like a shot. And he's saying it wasn't. But are we taking his word for it? Is this documented? And I am looking for, I don't see the old quote. And originally, if he did say it earlier, that was a shot at someone else.

Right. Like, you don't say shit like, and it's not at the media. That's what he's saying it is. That's what I'm saying. Like, if it's a media, you would say something like, look, media's job is to entertainer. Our job is to compete. He didn't say that. I mean, when he was asked to follow up, he did say that exact thing.

But why, when did he feel the need to differentiate between the media and the players that one are entertainers and the other competitors? Do some people think that the media are competitors? Well, no, I think the narrative got out there that that was a shot at Shadur. And he's like, I want to clarify the media. But that's back to what I'm originally asking. Like, does he feel the need to make sure that everybody knows that the media are not competitors, that we are competitors? What does that even mean? It comes from the quarterback school of obvious shit.

Well, this is where the media is at fault. We all know. It's our fault now? No, this is where the media is at fault in that everyone in this room seems to understand the game. It's being presented on TV like this is a quarterback battle because it's not as interesting to talk about who's going to be third string on the depth chart or what have you, right?

So they feed into this narrative where all these guys are competing and trying to drive wedges and people are picking their favorite in a bad faith gambit that all these guys actually have a chance to start off the bat when it's going to be Joe Flacco. No, but Mike, I'm going to push back on you this way.

Do you think Joe Flacco is going to start 17 games? Barre injury. No, no, no, no. No one believes that. No one that's paid attention to the Cleveland Brown's lore for the last 40 years knows exactly how this is going to go. But also, I think that all too often media gets lumped in with what's atop the food shame. Talking about the first take type of media of the world that unfairly trickles down to all the beatwriters. And beat writers are literally incentivized to find these storylines and keep you engaged.

I mean, their eyes lit up with that quote. Yeah. Well, that's on Dylan Gabriel. That's a data point, my friend. My thing is this is normally you're right where people assign the media to what Stephen A. and company are talking about. Like, that's not the media. That's one show, right? He represents us.

He doesn't represent all of us. He represents himself. He represents his show and what he doesn't. And that doesn't, should not be how, which is what athletes do. They perceive that's how all media, all beat riders, everyone's doing that. They also do this with just random Twitter accounts. They say, they say quickly becomes the media. Right, because social media equals media for some athletes, right?

But in this case, in this particular case, this isn't a concoction because none of us expect Joe Flacco to be starting 17 games barring injury, right? We all expect at some point, Joe, give me the ball, and we're going to send in the lefty or whatever, right? Be it in effectiveness or, hey, we just got to evout. these guys, no one really expects their season to be good. I'm sure Joe Flacco takes exception to all of this being like, hey, just two years ago, I was comeback player of the year

over a player who died on the field. You think he takes exception? I mean, he took this team to the playoffs. I think he knows the drill. I feel like even him at this, but he's like, I'm Joe Flackow. He beat a guy who died for a comeback player of the year. That's pretty impressive, I'm sure he's got an ego about it. He's a Super Bowl champion. That's just, that's

almost as impressive as Tony's worst day of his life. It's the first out of my life, dude. And I'm sure, yes, maybe there's part of it. Like, well, you did that two years ago. But now you're older. Can you do it again? He's looking around like, I'm literally the only guy in this uniform outside of Baker

Mayfield that you've had proof of concept over in the last 25 years. Hold on. You didn't get to the playoffs. Big game. Joe Flacco got to the playoffs. Joe Flacco got to the playoffs and was comeback player of the year. Joe Flacco was at times really good for that franchise when they were desperate and happy that Watson got hurt.

And they pushed Joe Flacco out to appease Watson. Right. Something that they should have never done. I'm not doubting Joe Flacco's effectiveness. I'm just saying, we're all saying, I think, Mike, he's got to look around and know the deal. Like, he sees, they didn't draft two quarterbacks because they thought you're so awesome and this job is yours forever. You are here basically keeping a seat warm for whoever the heir apparent is going to be. Right.

But he's going to have the ego like, good luck getting this job. I'm not going to have to rip it from me. Absolutely. But it's going to get ripped from him. And so to me, I don't think it's a disingenuous conversation to be like, Gabriel versus Sanders, who's going to win out? It should be framed that way. It should be framed that way. Well, how's it being framed?

It's a quarterback battle. Who's going to be starting for the Cleveland Browns? I don't think it's being framed that way. I think it's implied. I think everyone who talks about it knows that Flacco is the starter. Week number one. It's all about at some point in the middle of the season, probably before the middle of the season, because, yes, like Tony said, next year is supposed to be a very good quarterback

class, which, by the way, this year was supposed to be a very good quarterback class. So it's hard to- It's hard to really predict the way that that's going to wind up going down, but they're going to have to see both of these guys at some point during the season, which means that it's only flacco over the first few weeks. And the first few weeks are brutal. They play Bengals, at Ravens, Pays. Packers, Lions, Vikings, Steelers, and then

Dolphins. He's not making it out of that stretch. Yeah, like it's a brutal stretch. He's not making it out of that stretch. When I say it's perfect, because they're going to have a bad record. It's like, okay, great. Now we're going to the other guy. Thank you for including the dolphins in that. That may feel a little better. Well, the dolphins is like the winnable, the first winnable game. That's where you started out of the week before. It honestly made just, I felt good there.

Just being included. Wait, do the dolphins come after a buy? Because we're definitely getting a quarterback change there. No, it's not at Steelers. Their buy week is, I think later in the season. How many court over under, three and, and a half Cleveland Browns quarterbacks we see this season three and a half that's a lot three and a half is a lot

two and a half I say over two and a half easy over I'm going over three and a half wow you're saying flacco picket Gabriel Sanders and we're talking okay starting or taking snaps they take the field

okay yeah I'm going to and I'm not counting wildcat packages no I'm going over then over okay all right if they said starting I would have thought twice about it, but just taking snaps at any point. Yeah, I'm going over. If they're thinking of taking another quarterback next year, what Zaz is saying is right. Like, you need to give Shador and Dylan both chances.

And even then, when you're playing both of them, you're not going to get enough to decide if that's your franchise quarterback because they're not going to have a long enough leash to struggle and come back. Unless one of them comes out the gates just blazing. And then it's like, well, it's his job now. It's a very strange franchise that has looked for an answer at quarterback. they had two guys that took them to the playoffs, one of them being a former number one overall pick,

the other guy being a former Super Bowl champion. And they pushed them out the door. It's so bizarre. It's because they're white. Look, every football game is a grind.

Oh Blockbuster or your family As a family It was a whole thing. Blockbuster, too. Moving my grandpa. And your grandpa didn't believe in posters. My grandfather was, like, big into the tribulation and the rapture.

So that, no posters. I just like the idea of you, like, moving in like, hey, grandpa. And then you start putting up your picture. Yeah, what if you just start putting them up? This is the devil's work. This is El Diablo. And he just ripped it up and you're like, no. If I wanted a poster, I'd go to Sunset Place Virgin Megastore.

And I would just say, man, that would look good on wall someday. Not with grandpa. All right, let me get to work on this topic. I'm curious at the posters that you guys all had growing up. Man, I don't think I had posters, to be honest with you, man. I had, I didn't, like, definitely not growing up. I didn't have posters. When I went to college, then it turned into, like, I was getting, like, pictures,

like, but big poster-sized photographs of, like, John Stark's dunking on. So, like, posters? No, they were actually photographs. though. They were poster-sized photographs. Yes. So posters. No.

Posters is different. Posters, you roll it up. You can't roll up. Well, why would you pay for poster-sized photographs? That seems expensive. I was getting them signed. This is when I was working for the Hawks.

So, like, I would get these things signed. And there's a guy that I knew that he collected memorabilia. He said, I will send you two of everything. And you get to keep one. And so that was a deal. And so I was getting. and so John Starks is dunking on on Horace Grant and Michael Jordan

that one I had that sign Allen Houston hitting the shot again man That was something you shouldn't be doing It was a team employee. It was behind. I was like a part-time employee at the time It didn't matter. It's matter with your dog. Man, I'm telling you it was behind it was behind the shot.

You saw the shot clock and you see his release and everyone's just looking up. Yeah, everyone knows, man. It's a great shot. It's a great shot. What'd you do with the poster pictures? Oh, man. They got stolen.

Stolen? By who? I don't know. Oh. Guy sold the phone cards to? Oh, the phone cards. Don't get me started on that. That's my...

What a scheme you run over there now? Something like broke into your house and all of a sudden. Like, what's missing? Like, my posters. The dorm. I was moving out for the summer. And so I had my stuff in a box and I had a bunch of stuff in there. A bunch of stuff.

It was the pictures. It was some jerseys. It was like a warm-up, all that shit got stolen, bro. Devastating. All right, here are the posters that I can remember that I had growing up. Hulk Hogan. Yep. Do you know the pose?

It was in front of a blue background and it was just him like oil up. I think I had the same one. This is the W-W-F, right? Then I had a sting poster. W-C-W-C-W-Sing, not the police sting. Okay, I was like, Ropson. Not Fields a gold sting. No, it was just a sting in front of like a Sears backdrop, white tights.

Put on the red light. Batman Forever. You know what's crazy? I was thinking about this literally yesterday because some commercial had Seale Kiss from a Rose in it. What a song. And I was thinking to myself, man, that song is so ubiquitous. People don't even remember. That was a Batman song.

Yep. That was a Batman song. Dead presidents. Went to see the movie on the poster alone. It was a great poster. Great poster. The white makeup. White makeup, the lighting.

Chris Tucker's in this? Incredible. Just look down. Kathy Ireland. Really? The one in the swimsuit? Yep. Really?

Now, are these all up at the same time? No, this is over the course of like eight years or so. You had a cat. No wonder your grandpa flipped out. Christine Aguilera. Do you mean a bottle? It was like a part of that album shoot. It was in the desert, right?

And it was like low light? Just kind of casually, like, leaning on the side of a doorway. You know the one I'm talking about where it's like in a desert and it's like low light? It's like maybe like dusk. Let me take that one for a walk. I randomly had a Drew Blood Cell one. Drew Bloods. Yeah.

Sorry, looking at Kathy Ireland. I'm trying. Yeah, there was a Patriots and there was like a nickname of sorts. Drew so much that he needed a transfusion. Who remembers that? No one remembers that? There was, hold on. No, before we go on.

So there was a, this is sports center commercial where they were like training people to be sports center anchors. And boomer is like, all right, what's Drew Bletso's nickname? The guy raised his hands like, Drew Bledso much that he needed transfusion? And the guy's like, trick question. There is no nickname for Drew Bledso. It was Drew Bledso in front of an American flag. It said Drew Bledso, Patriot Games. Electric.

That's a book fair poster if I ever heard of one. Yeah, it's a Scholastics poster. Those are good. Those are like cardstock. Love those. But to take the name of a popular movie that had been released a few years earlier and apply it to the sports situation, let me tell you something. I remember there was one, who was it? It was someone from Cincinnati was like, The Hunt for Red October.

And I was like, that's a, that's a, that's a dope nickname. Jeff October. I had the Dan the Man Marino poster. Oh, nice, nice. See in the Zubas? Ooh, the quarterback club. I may have had that quarterback club one. Man, that's such a huge part of my child.

Maybe I had that. But I don't remember it specifically or vividly. Fight Club? That one's still around. See, this is the movie poster. I randomly had an Indianapolis Colts poster just because I wanted something to fill out my room. And eventually, in fact, I can take it out of the frame.

I just put the Fight Club poster over that because I wanted it frame. Oh, the soap? the soap and then like the shitting grin that Brad Pitt had and Fight Club was the first ever DVD I bought Really? Mine was Long Kiss Good Night Oh, five

That's a good movie! That's a good movie! It's a great and a great rewatchability, man. Very good movie. No? I'm not a Rennie Haarling guy, I don't like that guy. Really? Oh, because of Die Hard 2?

No, no, I had Hulk, the Hulk rule. one that you just talked about, yes for sure. I also had an Ultimate Warrior poster, and I had demolition. Demolition Man? Demolition Man? No, accent smashed, wrong with you. Oh, sorry. The Demolition Man poster was hot too. You took me back. I had a Demolition Man

poster. Yep, right? Wesley and Stallone? Face to face. Oh, and I also had Hart Foundation. Those are like the ones that I had. Those are my wrestling posters. You really was like, you was about that life, huh? Not once. Yeah, man. When I was like eight, nine, ten years old, I had all wrestling posts. Just went to SummerSlam. SummerSlam too.

Stallone over John Spartan, Snipes over Simon Phoenix, subtext below Stallone's face. Wait, wait, wait, we're getting there.

This has a lot of script. I've never seen this movie. This is electric. You've never seen demolition man. All right, so it sets up your face off, and it's got the 21st century's most dangerous cop. I'm in. Then under Snipes, the 21st century's most ruthless criminal. Oh, double in.

Demolition, man. And then below that, the future is in. big enough for the both of them. Whoa! Oh my God! Are you kidding me? Tony? Three she-sones.

I know a lot of people listen to the show like, here they go, they're talking about these old-ass movies, I am telling y'all right now, I guarantee, guarantee thorough entertainment if you watch this movie tonight. Strictly in the United States. This, strictly in the United States. This movie is electric, right? And by the way, and by the way, not for nothing, guess what? Kind of prophetic.

Wow. Kind of prophetic. Yeah, Taco Bell, yeah. Taco Bell is everywhere, number one. Number two, people getting fined for saying the wrong things. You are fine. Mike used to do this really well. Don't forget three shells.

Three Seychelles greatest mystery in cinematic history? Absolutely. Still trying to figure it out. Of course. Mike, I just cursed in the future. What happens? John Spartan, you've been fined one credit for... There you go, man.

Man, they were too close to that, actually. I've heard that reference before. Right? That and then, and then also. Cave, man. The VR. They got the VR in there. That did not look like good sex.

It didn't, but it's VR. And it's a really young Sandra Bullock. She was so cute. She still is. Yeah, she still is, yeah. I love Sandra. I love Sandra Bullock. Orwell boss is.

Dan Cortez, I think, plays two roles in this. Really? Really stretches it. Yeah. Dan Cortez, yeah. I think he's, is he the same. singer? Is he the lounge singer? Garden in the Valley in the Garden. I haven't seen a movie in 30 years. No way. We should have a rewatch. Let's have a rewatch right now. Fired up video

team. Demolition Man right now. We'll be your second screen experience. Exactly. You'll watch us watching Demolns are closing everywhere. Installs going in. We're going to rewatch Demolition Man. I'll tell you, I mean, two kinds of movies. I'll watch all of them. I love time travel movies. and this, I mean, does this count as time travel? It's futuristic. They were cryostasis, so it is kind of time travel of a sort. I'll watch any time travel movie and I'll watch any prison

movie. I love time travel. I love prison. I don't want to go to prison because I would be holding somebody's pocket. It would go terribly for me. This is a perfect film because it's kind of both. Yeah. There's prison in the future. Yeah. Do you like time cop? I'm going to say, that's like combo.

Time cop. I love time cop. A great movie. Dude, time got great and also time cop, I think I could do it better. Hollywood, give me a budget. You guys love existing IP. Give me a budget. It's a great move. Time cop should have been him.

Most of it should have been him trying to solve the mystery going through time, trying to find these crimes that he was doing. Remember, he went back to like the stock market and then he went back to like the civil war and all that stuff. Because that's how the congressman was raising the money to become president, right? That's how they should have done it. Instead, they kind of like yada yada of that part and got right into the conspiracy. And he had me as Sarah. I mean, I hadn't seen her since Ferris Bueller.

That's right. That's right, man. I forgot about that. Have you, escape plan? Yes. I like that movie. Love escape plan. I like that movie.

I love escape plan two? No, I haven't seen escape plan too. But you love the first one. Yeah. Whatever. I don't know all the time in the world see every movie. What more do they have to do? Love prison.

You ever seen Brawl and Cell Block 99? No. Oh, Vince Vaughn? No. That's a good movie. I've seen that. That's a good movie. Is it Brawl and Cell Block 99?

I've never even heard of that. Yep. That's a good movie. It's low budget. It's playing a badass. Yep. Skies being dudes. This is what a podcast is.

Time Cop and Demolition, man. I've got my viewing for the next couple days. You know, Vince Vaughn is bald in this. Yeah. He's a badass. 90% on Rotten Tomatoes? It's a very good movie. It's good.

Hard Target is better than Time Cop. No. Yes, it is... He smacks the snake. No, no, no, no, no, no. Time cop's better, man. Smacks his snake. Time cop, man. What was yours, Mike?

Hard target. Hard target. There's a great fight into, like a candy shop. Are you knight in on the Van Dam movies? No, I like Van Dam. Like, what was one of the other ones? Blood, blood... Blood and blood out? No, Bloodsport.

Bloodsport. Yeah, it's all bloodsport. Kickboxer. Kickboxer also. Oh, that's the best nickname. That's the best nickname. James Johnson, Bloodsport, hands down. I give you Bloodsport.

That's his nickname. Don't I have to know it's his nickname? That's his nickname. That's his nickname. They call him Bloodsport. And it's like, it's the most fitting nickname in the world, right? This dude round house kicking people. Yeah.

Bloodsport. My favorite prison movie? Shotcaller. You ever seen Shotcaller? No. Best prison movie. Better than Shawshank? Well, no.

Okay. It's me like, like, Shotchick's at all time. Better than Let's Go to Prison? Did you see Let's Go to Prison? Who's in that again? Dax Shepard and... Is it the one of DJ Calls? Will Arnett.

Oh, no. DJ Qualls had a run. DJ Qualls, man. Three-year run. What about Get Hard? Get Hard. That movie's awesome. That movie's so funny.

Are you kidding me? But I don't know that it's really a prison movie. None of it takes place in prison. It's prepping him for prison. Yeah, that doesn't really count. Leading up to prison. Shot Caller amazing prison movie. It stars Kingslayer from Game of Thrones.

That's his name. Jamie Lannister. Yes. He watched just prison movies or prison shows too? No, not really prison shows. You didn't get into prison break? Oh, yeah, of course. Of course I watched prison break.

He had the map on his back. Incredible show and I watched it when it was live, when it was on. It's not like somebody's telling me, oh, hey, you should go watch Prison Break. No, I'm an OG Prison Break fan. Love Prison Break. How long did you go before you're like? When they kept trying to break out of prisons, I was like, come on, man. No, I lasted the whole time, but granted the first few seasons are the best.

Well, didn't they try to run it back and reboot the series several years later? They did. Where Michael Schofield came back, he was alive. Yeah. What? How's he alive? You liked that? Did they bring him back?

Did you like the reboot? I don't even remember it, so I couldn't have liked it that much. All right, yeah. Other prison movies. There are a lot of prison movies. Hell yeah. Deadpool, too. Prison movie.

That's not a prison movie. Yes, it is a prison. What? It's a superhero movie. That's a superhero movie. Yeah, come on. Steve Martin. He said that very top of the line.

We've established that's the best prison movies. We don't even count it. The warden was in Demolition Man. Really? Yeah. Cave man. Cave man. Blood in, blood out.

Prison movie. Yep. I like how I'm testing. Like, Zas, do you approve of this? I can confirm. Ernest goes to jail? Oh, yeah, that's a good one. How many places did he go?

Man, Ernest got him. He went to camp. He was scared stupid. He was scared so stupid. Oh, I got one for Zaz. I know Zaz's going to love this one. Law-abiding citizen. Great movie.

Oh, that's a good movie. Wow. Great movie. Good movie. He goes to the court, and then he actually argues for his freedom, and he wins. And then he goes off on the judge for letting him go. He calls her all types of names. I'm not going to get into it.

Shutter Island. Prison movie? No. Mental institution. Yeah. Different. Prison of his own mind? No.

No, no. You're getting too complicated here. Life? Oh, life is excellent. Life's an excellent movie. Do I consider that a prison movie? I mean, I guess it is, but it's a comedy, you know? You had to escape.

Cuckoo's Nest is not a prison movie. No, that's mental institution. Dark Knight? Or is it Dark Night Rises? Which one is he in? He's got a... In Dark Night Rises, he's in the... He's in the pit.

I never really understood that. Broken Back. Did they fly him out there? Where was this? It's so strange, because then when he breaks out of the... of the, you know, prison, how does he so easily get back into Gotham, which is under Bain's control, and they're not letting you cross the bridge? It's really weird. That is true.

It's a plot hole. It is. That's a nice plot hole. What, where the art direction here is all orange and dusty. All right. How does, where is this? Just in the world. Right out outside of Gotham.

You go a couple miles out. It may even in Gotham. I mean, how do you get back into Gotham? How do you get out of the desert once he got out of the hole? There's nobody there, right? So much exposition needed here. But broken back. Boy fixed it. Remember, because he climbed up the thing.

Look, Nolan was dealt a bad hand. Clearly, the Joker was supposed to be a huge part of this story. I think he did the best he could. Honest to God, I watched Dark Night yesterday. Movie's so good. Heath Ledger. Good performance. Anytime I watch a good movie, I feel like I've won the lottery.

And just so you know, we're actually teaming up with Jackpocket. America's number one lottery app played Powerball. Mega millions, even scratch-offs, all with just a couple taps. New customers get $5 in lottery credit when you download the app. Opt-in and use code Superfan at sign-up. Go grab the Jackpocket app. Use that code, and that's it. Dark Night Rises better than Dark Night.

Okay, that's just incorrect. That's ass-in-eye. Just incorrect. Now we're just saying things that are wrong. I like Dark Night Rises better. I think it's better. Subjective. I like Bain better than Joker.

Hey, guys. Haywood Highsmith's Squirrel and Trees? Yes, they do. We'll get into that. that once the live hour's over right here on the dan levitart show it's too gots
