sponsored by Diageo Americas, Inc. New York, New York. This is the Dan Leventor show with the Stugats podcast. Stugats, I do not know if you like this. I'm not going to say it's a recent trend, but a lot of actors are getting chances to direct movies. And Anna Kendrick just did her first directing role and she did a great job with a horror movie on Netflix called Woman of the Hour.

And it's sort of, I would say, the same way that Get Out was a horror movie from the perspective of black people to live with racism. What Anna Kendrick has done with Woman of the Hour is basically made a horror movie, which is just what it's like to live as a woman amid danger everywhere, where one guy happens to be a serial killer,

but everywhere in the movie, you are left with the imprint, even if you're a man, especially if you're a man, oh, what a horror it must be like to live as a woman, surrounded by danger at all times with men potentially being violent if you rebuff their advances in any way. It's not a movie I have seen. The way that I saw Get Out,

which was a movie where racism was the horror, this was a movie that I was watching, and I'm like, oh, the horror is just being a woman, and especially in this America that you wake up to today this morning where it seems like the world is against a woman. I think you explained it well and I never you told me that she's got a new horror movie out on Netflix you texted me that I watched I'm like that's not a horror movie and thriller suspense maybe but when you when you present it as such, yeah.

My takeaway from the movie, and I have, truthfully I have a deeper appreciation now after seeing your perspective on it, is I thought the perks of being a director, I didn't really see where her character fit in. I thought there were plenty of compelling characters that were actually victims in that movie, and not to give things away.

She's on a game show in which one of the serial killer that's featured that has many victims that are highlighted throughout the picture is one of the contestants on this dating show and I thought it was kind of a weird story to tell. Out of all the people to focus on we're focusing on this near victim rather than the actual victims but I guess that's focusing on this near victim rather than the actual victims. But I guess that's a good connection point in terms of the fear.

And when I watched it, I was like, well, thankfully that's from a Pygon era. Pete Slauson One of the things that was interesting about it, Stu Gotts, and there are a few movies out, I don't know if The Penguin classifies now as horror. It certainly classifies as dark. Speak No Evil is another horror movie that seems to be very well done. I feel like a horror movie has to have someone

wearing a mask or something. There has to be someone who just walks around and murders the entire town. Jump scares, because there were jump scares in Get Out. There are no jump scares in the Santa Kendrick film. No, The Penguin is not remotely close to a horror and I will stop the internet from being so mean to you. He didn't know what he was saying. It's just dark. How many people need to get murdered in small towns for you to think, you know what, let

me just move over a town. Because you have these tiny towns where there's a serial killer and it goes on for years and years and everyone's just like, okay, well, I'm just gonna stay here and hopefully I don't get murdered. Pretty Little Liars, perfect example. A, was there killing people for years. Never figured out who it was. Well, we did at the end, but not a great ending.

So your solution is you just move one town over? Yeah. Why not a new county, a new state? Well, you can, but you're gonna do the bare minimum I guess just move over a town unless it's Ravenswood. That was a whole spin-off that didn't work out Sydney Try that and scream didn't work out. It didn't work out. The killer kept falling Sydney problem, right? No, the killer wants you the killer will get you Well, then like I don't I haven't seen it so pardon me, but like no

I haven't seen scream you haven't seen any of the screams none of them. Yeah, she tries scary movie But if Sydney moves and doesn't the killer move with Sydney in which case you're a hero to the town for leaving different different killers Yeah, with the same mask with the same fixation and masks You heard what's your favorite scary movie and you're like, oh, that's a good question. You didn't even think about it, like, oh, this is like a. No, I knew of it, but like I was a, look, this may come as a surprise to some of you.

This happened in 1996. At nine, Billy Gill wasn't looking into being scared. The world scared him enough. He wasn't looking for extra scares via the cinema. I don't see you as being much of a horror movie guy in general. I mean. Who would be?

Yeah, thank you, Greg. There's a lot of good ones. There's a lot of good ones out. It's a genre that does pretty well. I watched a scary movie last night. Scary movies, in my opinion, and people won't like this, it's a phase, right? Like it's, you know, you're a sophomore, junior,

senior in high school, maybe through like sophomore year in college, and it's like, oh, look how brave I am, I don't get scared at this scary movie. You go with a bow, and you kind of like try to impress them, put the arm around, hey, I'll protect you. And then you kind of grow out of that phase, right?

And it's like, why do I need to see Saw 16? Like how many people are gonna cut their limbs off to get out of this entrapment from Jigsaw? 15 wasn't enough, I mean. I'm surprised that the horror movie genre does still endure in a way that is not conquerable. You know why? Because it's cheap to make.

They're cheap to make and they make money. That's the only reason why we keep seeing horror movies. It's not because, oh, there's a great appetite for this art form. it's just literally economics. Yeah, and it's a great art form to make a budget-friendly film for. I think you could argue we're kind of in a horror, suspense, thriller type of resurgence.

Late Night with the Devil, The Substance, these are movies. That's a good one too. These are movies that are made on smaller budgets. Terrifier was a great box office story in that it became the number one movie in America, despite the previous two not having true theatrical releases. And the stuff that they're making is really good. You mentioned Speak No Evil, tremendous film. There's this new movie with Hugh Grant that's coming out that's produced by A24,

which is a taste making studio called Heretic. And that's being called maybe the greatest A24 film ever, and they've totally been a part of this Renaissance when it came to the genre. Enough with A24. I'm with you. Enough. It's annoying.

I love A24 films. So do I. Oh, we're just gonna put this weird filter on it, and then everyone's gonna think it's art. Get outta here. They make a lot of good movies. But they do use filters. Terrifier, explain to me how it is

that that's become popular, where there's three of them now and I didn't know. I heard of Terrifier 2 before I'd heard of Terrifier. Explain to me what's happening with that movie. It's just really gratuitous, gross, practical effects. You're typical slasher. And the scary movies that were shown at grindhouses back in the day, really a throwback to the old school.

A legitimately scary character. Yeah, like a boogeyman. A spindly character that is going to cut you. We've had good suspenseful movies. The Boogeyman has kind of fallen by the wayside. Usually you just revive some old IP, which is why they're still making screams, still making Halloweens.

This is the first intellectual property that tries to create a new slasher, and they've done so successfully. And you watch the movie, it's gross. It stays with you because of what you've seen, but it has its audience. I enjoyed it. Terrifying.

Do you guys have a strategy for scary movies? Sorry for asking. Well, the movie theater, when I don't know what to expect and I'm not in the comfort of my home, I cover my ears sometimes. I try to go in and laugh. I tell myself, I'm just gonna laugh at how ridiculous it is because if I laugh, then I can't get scared.

So like people will be freaking out in theater, like, ah! And it's, you know, the exorcism of Emily Rose or whatever, like, one, two, three, four, five, six. One, two, three, four, five, six, one, two, three, four, five, six, and the head's spinning around like, ah, there's blood coming out. I'm like, ah, ha, ha, ha.

And then people look at me like I'm a sicko, and they're like, why are you finding this funny? I'm like, because I'm scared. I did find Terrifier 3 funny. Did you know Anthony Perkins made $25,000 for doing Psycho? Yeah, hit stock. That's how you do it, I'm telling you. It costs like $100, dollars to make that movie.

Chris Cody just looked at his father. You pay Perkins 25 grand, you buy a machete, you're done. I mean... Chris Cody just looked at his dad who all of a sudden rose up and got involved in the conversation. And the reason he rose up and got involved in the conversation is because you were mentioning a movie from 1968. In the middle of this conversation, I thought to myself, what would be the actual last horror movie that Greg Cody went to?

Because Greg Cody does not strike me as someone who wants to feel fear at a movie theater, or even while watching anything in entertainment. Many people don't, and so I just simply assume that Greg Cody hadn't seen a horror movie since about the 70s or 80s. Right. No, I actively avoid horror movies.

And I don't think they've made a good one since Al Hitchcock. The Big Two are Psycho and The Birds. The Boyds. The Birds is such a ridiculous movie. It's great. Low budget. I'm scared of birds, so it always kind of resonated with me. You mentioned Anthony Perkins.

His son, Oz Perkins, actually directed one of these films that is credited with this new golden Era of suspense horror films long legs which was a great performance by by Nicolas Cage I was actually directed by Anthony Perkins is his son Psycho was made in 1960. Thank you. I'll hitchcock a sick pup, right? Like you imagine on the pole go to picnics with a levitard show Al Hitchcock a sick pup pup right yeah I want to leave you with this and and I'm a renowned movie expert as you guys know mm-hmm I think directing a horror film is probably the easiest genre I think the horror film it's hard to get the gore

right I don't know yeah yeah, not in 1960. Just kill. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Put Terrifier up on the screen there. Terrifier is terrifying. This is a good character. The tiny hat helps him a great deal. Lovely hat. The blood on the face, the eyebrows that are painted on with some sort of small pen. Hole in the nose. The giant teeth as well. That's not a hole, that's just a dot. It's not a hole in the nose. The giant teeth as well. That's not a hole, that's just a dot. It's not a hole in the nose, it's not a hole in the mask, it's just a dot.

is Draymond Green talking about football which is a good question do you think Jordan Schultz knows who Al Hitchcock is or the movie Psycho? I don't know we can ask him here as he joins us but you'd agree that Terrifier is terrifying this is a good horror character nobody would dispute this Jordan welcome to the welcome to the show. Who are the best of the horror characters? Are you a horror movie person? You know, I just rewatched Halloween 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Wow. And I, you know what? I'm not a big horror guy, but I can tell you that 4 was better than I remember. 1 was really good. I didn't like two and three, and Alfred Hitchcock, Al Hitchcock was a sick pup. I watched Rear Window as a sophomore in high school in drama and it terrified me. So I've been actually avoiding horror movies

as a result subsequently since, but a friend of mine said, you know, we should rewatch Halloween leading up to Halloween. And now I'm just mad that I did all of that because I haven't been sleeping well. The Long Legs movie I heard was great, but I can't do it, I just can't get there. Okay, so you don't wanna be horrified

when watching something, you don't want to feel fear. And Long Legs will do that for just the trailer. It seems spooky. I was Legs will do that. For just the trailer, it seems spooky. I was horrified watching the trailer. I didn't know Nicolas Cage had that in his arsenal. But you know what's really crazy is that when you watch a horror movie, to your point, I always thought it was easier to make those movies.

And now I've been validated by it. But the gore is a good point and that's what made Halloween 1, for example, so good. It was less gore and more, you know, so spooky. You know what I mean? Like, I like the movies like A Sixth Sense, for example, where it's not quite as gory and it just, it makes you think a lot. Those are hard to do, I think.

And when you can bridge that gap, then you have someone like me who's not a horror classic guy, maybe a little more interested. Are you a theater kid? Did you fail your way into NFL insider? Like you wanted to be something else. I wanted to be an actor. I did, I did.

I wanted to be an actor. Wow. Look I did. I wanted to be an actor. Wow. Looked like an actor. I played Hoops in college. Not very well. But acting was the other... I wanted to be in front of the camera and I wanted to be an actor. And actually, I finally landed a part in the 2025 Tron movie, the third version, the third one, which is coming out in about a year. I am in Tron unless of course I get cut out, Dan. Congratulations. Jordan, M. Night Shyamalan, not a gore guy,

but like stop making me think. Overrated too. M. Night, have you seen, what was the one he did with Sam Jackson? Was it Shattered Glass? Glass. Glass. That one was pretty good, but you're right. Since the Sixth Sense, it's been...

Too many twists. Thank you. Too cute. What was the movie he did with the people or outside the village or the... The village. That movie I was so into and then it got so bad. Like that's what the Six, I think everyone expects,

you know, him to do the crazy twist at the end. Although his, I think his son just did a really good movie. His daughter, his daughter. His daughter did a really good movie, or at least it was, it was interesting. And it had some of that, that night. I mean, what was that movie he did with the signs? Signs. Signs, oh, Signs. What was was that movie he did with the signs signs.

So I saw what was that. So you talk about the. I. That was a good movie. So a movie. When he yells to the children, I'm a little small. It was that movie was good.

I like signs even though the aliens were like Wimby, they were like seven eight. They were. They were very tall. They were awkward. They were very Wimby-ish. The thing that he's doing now on Apple television that is a series that involves the servant, what's the name of that? The servant. Oh, I haven't seen that one. I'm not familiar. Please illuminate. It's the servant. Yes, that's right. Thank you. I mean, Jordan, can you tell me if everyone

is talking about the Lions as the best team in the NFC, if I tell you right now, Lions are the field, you go which way there? In the NFC? Yes. Yeah, give me the Lions. They are the most complete team. They're a wagon. They are, there's no, there's no M Night Shyamalan

twist with them. You know what you're getting. They are so complete. And now that they just added another really good pass rusher in Zedaria Smith. Like this was the move that we all anticipated they would make the last few weeks. And Andrew Barry, the GM of the Browns tried to get more they end up getting a five

back but you know the Lions are never going to replace Aiden Hutchinson he leads the league in sacks but they realized Dan that they didn't have anybody else in their roster with more than two and a half sacks and they also realized they needed playoff experience and this is a guy with nearly 70 career sacks, eight playoff games, three Pro Bowls, and he's a professional. And he's been in the NFC North. He was so good with the Packers. I love that addition. Love the running backs. Obviously, the quarterbacks been terrific. And once they really get Jameson Williams going again, I think that's going to compliment Amonra St. Brown.

We obviously love the tight end. They just have a complete team and give a lot of credit to Aaron Glenn the DC. They've been better on that side this year. They're not as good defensively as the Chiefs but they are really good and I think they showed last week against the Packers on the road in bad weather that they're so much more than a dome team because that was maybe the only question we had. Could the Lions be the same type of force in a bad weather situation? And they went and they beat Green Bay on their own turf. I know Jordan Love has been battling the injury, but that wasn't about as impressive as I can ever see,

as I can imagine from that team. Well, can you tell me though, Jordan, because you mentioned a lot of different things in giving credit to Detroit. And for some reason, I'm not sure why this is, I feel like not enough people are talking about the possibility that that offensive line has overtaken Philadelphia as the best offensive line in football. Why aren't people noticing that everything changed over there because of something that we should be noticing up front?

It's so basic to say, get a great offensive line. And yet it's so hard to do. A lot of teams try to invest in the position and then they want to go and get a sexy draft picket in somewhere else. The Lions realized with Brad Holmes and with Dan Campbell, who really have the same DNA, that to build a great team, you got to build it inside out.

And I would argue that they have the best, not only offensive, but with Hutchinson, at least one of the best defensive lines and going back to the offensive side, they've taken care of all those guys. They, they paid every single one of them. And as a result, they're so consistent upfront and they're so committed to their DNA, you know, when you watch Detroit, especially on the 22, when you really see what they're doing, there's not like a whole lot of tricks. You know, they do run some cool stuff with Ben Johnson

when they try to fool you, but as a result of how they're running the football with Gibbs in Montgomery, they are, and the way they protect Jared Goff, it's the perfect system for what they're doing or for what they wanna do with the the play action he's really become golf one of the best play action guys in the league so yeah i i think they're overlooked because we're not used to detroit being this good and they're so consistent and

they're not as flashy maybe is as a baltimore a buffalo but man i i just love watching them play i think they know exactly who they are jordan is it the return of christianaffrey and San Francisco? What team is the biggest challenger to Detroit for the NFC title? I would have said San Francisco three weeks ago. It's been a rough few weeks and I know they're getting McCaffrey back and that

helps a lot. Philadelphia over the last three weeks has convinced me again. And I asked the scout last night going you know post deadline with all these moves being made Philadelphia first time in four years Howie Roseman did not pull the trigger on a deal with the deadline I said is Philadelphia one of these teams that can maybe challenge Detroit and at least his opinion was yes and the reason why was Jalen Hurts over the last few weeks has finally gotten back to the Jalen Hurts we the last few weeks has finally gotten back to the Jalen Hurts we saw a couple years ago when he was an MVP candidate and finished

second. I think as long as AJ Brown and Devontae Smith are healthy, that team with that offensive line and one of the things that is going to contend, but one of the things they did in the draft that was so impressive was they went one-two corner with Quinian Mitchell out of Toledo and Cooper DeGina out of Iowa and I thought if they hit on one of those guys let alone two this year with Darius Slay that that that secondary was going to be a problem for teams and it has been so if Philadelphia is gonna stay healthy and let's just assume they are I think they do have the weaponry and you

know finally going back to that dominant running game with Saquon Barkley that That could bother Detroit. I think I'm not gonna assume they are I'm not gonna assume they stay healthy I'm not gonna assume anyone stays out there playing foot. Yeah, that's fair. It is fair Everybody out there is gonna be very aggressive man. It's gonna be on everybody's gonna be on how you agree though Your analysis is gonna be rendered irrelevant by everyone getting hurt from playing football agreed that your analysis is going to be rendered irrelevant and I heard from playing football. No I I get it and I guess as a fan first I always want to see teams at their best and if we can is if we can say that

the short and fill your out their best I still I still think it's worse better, but I feel better about Detroit now than I ever had again going back to last week where they were finally able to show that they can win against a really good team on the road in a bad weather environment. Jordan, I see that you have a plaque back there of the captain. Not sure how big of a Yankees fan you are, but there was a lot of Yankees hot stove talk today at the office and a big debate broke out because the Yankees fans here were saying that they wanted Corey Seeger.

And then as the debate went on, settled for we'll take Joey Wendell so if you are in fact a Yankees fan would you go Seeger or Wendell to improve the the pinstripes there? I love Corey Seeger I think that was the I'm based in New York that's what all the Yankee fans wanted but the bigger question over the last week and I was at the World Series game three which was awful the bigger question over the last week, and I was at the World Series Game 3, which was awful, the bigger question was what's going to happen with Juan Soto. I grew up a big Mariner fan, really bad team to root for. Not successful.

But the Yankees being in New York have become my adopted team. Everyone wanted Corey Seeger. That's the proper sound, the sound that you made of disgust there for adopted team The egg top in the game you can't you can't do it. I know I'm always fan to get it. No, it's just because I'm a joke. I should not have done that Thank you for that admission I appreciate that moment of self-evaluation, where you look hard in the mirror and you're like, yeah, I deserve everything you guys are giving me.

It's wrong to adopt the Yankees as my team. It's immoral. And in honor of you though, and in honor of what it is that we've been talking about, Stugats has a top five list for you. Yes. A top five list of what, Stugats? This is a top five list for you. Yes. A top five list of what, Stugots? This is a top five list of people in sports

and entertainment that can note a horror film. Whose name connotes a horror film? Yes. Or something you might find in a horror film. Okay, OLI or just number five? I have two of those, yeah. All right, OLI. Lon Krueger.

LON KRUGER Lon Krueger has been the former college basketball coach. Yes, yeah. Freddie. It's just a Freddie. Oh, I like that. He could be Freddie's screwed up brother. Yeah, that's fine.

We don't need commentary on everyone. OLI. Tyler Hansborough, Psycho T. Number two. Number five. Mike Myers. One. Number four four Matthew Kachuk Chuckie Chuckie yeah number three Frank Gore slash number one Jerry kill it's Number one. Jerry Kill. It's just a terrible list. You're laughing. Yes, I am laughing

because of how bad it is. Jordan, what did you find interesting about the trade deadline? The transactions. Dallas. Yeah, everyone thinks that's weird. I just I don't understand what this organization's doing I I never understand what Jerry Jones is doing. Let me preface it by saying that but they paid a fourth-round pick I know they sent a seven back But they paid a fourth round pick to Carolina for Jonathan Mingo who I liked coming out of school at Ole Miss But you know hasn't done a lot in two years there. And Jerry basically said, we're gonna go get a receiver. But they didn't get a receiver

that can necessarily help them right now. And even if they felt we needed to upgrade that position, okay, fine, Dakpresscuts.ir, you haven't had Parsons, you haven't had Lawrence, you're not a competitive football team right now. And they overpaid, It's just bad business. You know, if you think about, for example, even Pittsburgh going out and getting Mike Williams,

you know, they paid a five, maybe it was a little steep, but Pittsburgh feels like they're a receiver away, right? They feel like we have a great defense. Now we need to compliment George Pickens with a big body guy that can win inside the 20s. Dallas is so far away from being in that conversation that it just it doesn't make sense if anything go out and draft a couple receivers in 2025 but also Washington. I give Washington a lot of credit because I think before the season

most people including myself felt like this team was maybe around a 500 club. Now they're stepping into they're in first place sole possession of the NFC East halfway through the year. They have this great young talent in Jayden Daniels, and they have a surplus of picks, including a number three pick that they got in the Johan Dotson trade. They go out and they trade that

to a really depleted New Orleans team, realizing they have a hard reset, and they get a bona fide shutdown corner in Marcus Latimore and I don't know how much this has been reported but they had to outbid the likes of Baltimore and Kansas City and maybe one other club and as a result Washington now feels to me like a pretty complete football team. That was the one position, the one position that coordinators, offensive coordinators felt like they could attack was corner.

They had a dearth of corners. Now they go out and get a four-time Pro Bowler who's 28. And oh, by the way, they're only paying him 600 grand the rest of the year. So I really like what the commanders did. One more team I'll give you is Kansas City. They weren't active yesterday necessarily, but they get Josh Ushie and they get Dehop. And they paid less for Dehop than Dallas paid for Mingo. I mean, it's mind boggling.

So Kansas City addresses a need in DeAndre Hopkins who destroyed Tampa the other day, was really the sole reason they won that game, or one of them, and they upgraded that position. And oh, by the way, they get Josh Suchi, who had 10 and a half stacks two years ago. So I like what the Chiefs did as well. Jordan, I feel like we've buried the most important story

of the day in this conversation with you, which is you're in Tron? Wait, OK, so what's the role that you're playing? And what was the casting process like? I mean, this is the question that I have been bothering my wife with for the last six months. Because I always said, had things shake differently, I could have been a really good B-level actor, low B actor. And she said, no, shake differently, I could have been a really good B level actor, low B actor.

And she said, no, no, you couldn't have you couldn't have. I I had an in with the director. I knew the director and I had been bothering him for five years. You were doing a movie and you need, you know, just a random part. I would be more than happy to do it. I'll pay my way into the movie. I don't care what it takes. Put me in that film. So he's doing Tron.

His name is, well, his American name is Joakim Ronning. He's Norwegian. And he says to me about a year ago, you know, I just, I got cast to do this movie and I want to know if you would want to play the on or the in city reporter. I said, What do you mean? He says to me, well, we're going to be having quite a few reporter shots. And you could be basically the on camera or on on site reporter. So that's exactly what I did. I went and I flew to Vancouver on my own dime. They didn't pay me to do that.

I flew to Vancouver last April and I shot three scenes in Tron and it was insane. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life and he told me last week when I saw him, he said, you know, I've been seeing you a lot in the dailies. Thus far, I haven't cut you out of the film. Yeah. Thus far. That's big.

Thus far. Do you remember any of your lines? Do you remember any of the lines that you had to memorize? Yeah. There's a part where I'm standing up. You know, I have my microphone microphone and I'm talking into the camera and I'm looking around because he's telling me, you gotta pretend like there's some kind of alien invasion,

there's crazy stuff up above you and you have to pretend like you're kind of freaked out. So I go in front and I'm really happy, I'm so giddy to have this opportunity So I'm smiling talking about essentially an alien invasion and we're on the ground and we're all Giving away too much Basically what happened was he says, you know, I like the energy comes up to me Goes you know, um, I like the energy but nobody's happy about the situation

and I said I Said, uh, what do you mean? He goes? You're the only person that we've had that is really excited about the alien invaders And he said you got to pretend like you're mortified Coming in crazy lights It's gonna be there and I can't have you as my lead On-site reporter. It's a good point. I am Crazy so I said, oh so you want me to tone it down and I'll never forget he stops and he goes yeah And I said okay. I I can do that

I can do that and so I I had to you know do my little acting and this is what I realized You know acting is really hard I've gotten stag certified, I paid my way to Vancouver for a night shoot. I have my own makeup person, it's this whole operation. And so I had to really tone it down. I did about 27 takes and afterward, I don't know if you guys,

you guys ever watched my favorite show of all time? You ever watched Curb? Oh, of course. Come on. Which one's that? The bear shit in the woods? Yeah exactly so my favorite curb episode it was needed is what it was early on like season four when Jeff and Susie's daughter sings a birthday song to who was it to you'll You'll find it. Yeah

They sing a birthday song to Ted Danson. I believe it was that's what was you found in the birthday song to Ted Danson And when she does it halfway through Larry goes, yeah, okay She's awful And they end it he ruins the birthday. That's what this guy did to me the director. He was like, okay and he ended it. He, the fact that you did something so excitedly that made the director come out and remind you that you had to act, that you had to be an actor, that you had to stop being so excited

that you were giving off that it was fun to being attacked by the aliens was great. Jordan, you were great. Thank you very much for the time and the analysis. I look forward to not seeing you in that movie. No. You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna send you a photo or a quick video

of the conversation that we had. Nice. And you're gonna see, this is the point where he tells me, you know, okay. Yeah. Excellent work, Jordan. I'm sure the director will love that. I want, it's great.

All of it was great. A great story. Thank you for being on with us. Tell us the end before you leave. No, no, I don't want to hear anymore about Sean. Because I'm cut out of the movie, I didn't get that part. Okay.

Thank you, Jordan. Appreciate the time. Hey, Jordan. I don't want, though, another minute to I don't want though another minute to go by, not one more minute to go by, without addressing Chris Cody, getting so comfortable inside of an interview, that he asked the question seriously,

does a bear shit in the woods? That question has not been asked since the 80s. I mean, if you ask me if I've watched Curb, I mean, that's the response. That is not the proper response. I was stunned by that response. I've heard that response a number of different times from grandparents throughout my past.

We had a better question lined up that we ran out of time for that honestly would have killed. It would have been one of Chris's shining moments had he asked the question. I was going to ask about the glove behind him. Is that Babe Ruth, you know, your stepson? Callback. Yes, I get the callback. Remember that? Yeah, I am aware of Billy being Maximum Billy.

Me? Dan? Dan, had he asked that question, we would have had to record an oral history episode on the spot because that's a Hall of Fame, that would have been a Hall of Fame callback. Does a bear shit in the woods. Had to be asked. It did not have to be asked. It was needed, Dan.

Good energy. Does it? I like Jordan. I could see it getting old though, if I was his wife, right? Yeah, no way he makes a movie. Just him? The energy. Like I could see her, she's like, yeah, go talk to your friends about the movie

I'm tired of your don't do that. Now. I understand why I'm treated the way I'm treated here Don't do that to him. We said great guess he was just love Instagram wait a minute. You said he's a great guest. Yeah, you said he gets annoying to his wife I didn't say no. I never said annoying. I never said the a word I mean a suey nominee For what mission? Breaking news him being cast in a film. Yeah, you seem to have petered out some yeah, I have They cut Jordan cutting room for him.
