Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is the Dunlabor tour show with this two-guts podcast. All right, time to bring on Mina Koms. We're very excited about this. Our favorite part of the week. Well, not mine because I'm not here usually when we do this with Mina, but Mina, I will tell you, I was very disappointed. You gave a hot boltate, the camera was right up in your face. Okay, they were trying to get you to do what they get me to do around
Starting point is 00:00:39 here. And your boltake and you and I have worked on this. We've been in a lab together. We've worked on hot takes. Your hot take was the chiefs are going to make it to the AFC championship game, a place they have been to for the last five seasons. Okay. I want to say when was this two weeks ago? I think it was. Yeah. Mike, you were there. I mean, several other people who were here were there. I think that take was a bit harder. A couple of weeks now, it feels like a foregone conclusion. At the time, Mike, everyone in the audience did it not seem to have a little bit of caliente?
Starting point is 00:01:12 Yeah, there were right on the heels of that Las Vegas performance. And I think that's the first time that, because it's weird, it was at the end of the season. I'm like, they're gonna turn around and find their way this season. I paid no mind that we were saying that in like week 16. but I was genuinely convinced.
Starting point is 00:01:28 Oh, this is, this is not a good Kansas City Chiefs team. And they're going to have to play the opening weekend of the NFL playoffs and they're potentially going to have to do it on the road. But now that they got through Miami, and it also timed out with Miami falling off, but the line is very respectful of these Kansas City teams. Well, it should be, right? What if they figure it out in the playoffs? Have they, I don't, it's hard to judge off of that performance given all the conditions
Starting point is 00:01:53 out there. Yeah. But are they figuring it out? I think they figured out some things, which is why at that time, I was still high on them and maybe it wasn't the hottest take, but it definitely wasn't the most popular take. I got a little bit of blowback for that. I did not retweet the video.
Starting point is 00:02:12 I shall be retweeting it if it proves to be correct, which is very stugazzy enemy. Yep. No, okay. So this deep, chief defense has been good the entire season. And I think that's sort of why I've held out hope even during some of the real offensive doldrums. I think, you know, they're a young defense, they're super aggressive, they're super well coached, do some analysis doing an amazing job. You saw that against Miami pass or a lot of the second year players are playing really well,
Starting point is 00:02:38 George Lofdes up front. I really like the defense. The question of course is offensively. That's what Mike's talking about when he asked if they have figured it out. And I think it was around, it was actually around the time they were playing Buffalo and they lost the Cateria's Tony game that I felt they had finally settled on the correct formula, which is throw the ball to her she writes like a lot like most of the time, like pretty much no one else. Maybe Crabbs tells the year in there and you saw that come to fruition. I mean, the plan. I think why the Vegas game also scared me was rice had started coming into his own and they were still feeding rice and they lost and they got blown out. Despite the defense playing very well and not allowing a completion
Starting point is 00:03:19 outside of that, that first quarter. So I think what scared me the most was that the results weren't there while rice was coming online. And also what am I to do with a very clear dip in form from Travis Kelsey's. He's of an age where this is expected. But he's not he's not the same guy. And not focus. And if he does it in the playoffs, like to me, that's like, I can be as good as I ever was once. By the way, I'm not saying that. That's what people are saying though. He's not focused enough. No, it's not. To me, it's not the focus.
Starting point is 00:03:49 To me, it said he's not as good. Because the fire stew, what's what? What happened? I've been poking the bear on the TV. I was just trying to warn Travis Kelsey, my friend, what was going to happen if he stopped, you know, if he dropped balls consistently, if the chiefs didn't go as far as everyone wants them to go or thinks they're going to go, the fans are going to say that Travis Kelsey not focused. He's focused on Taylor Swift. He's focused on their relationship.
Starting point is 00:04:16 Who's not saying it though? I'm not saying it. Okay. He's focused on the podcast. He's focused on shooting commercials. He's focused on everything, but football. These are what Kansas City chiefs fans are going to say. I found out they're already saying it. They've been saying it all season, Mina. Yeah. Interesting. Okay. So you're hiding behind the fans are saying, I do what like, I'm warning a friend, Mina. I do like that. You're taking about focus extends to podcasting and all the other pursuits that Travis Kelsey has. Mike, I, I, I, you know, he is not playing at the level he was last year. I do think, however, his position and the nature of what he does with my home is getting open on the scrambled drills, that connection.
Starting point is 00:04:56 I think in the post season, I think back to actually the Rams Patriots Super Bowl where like Grog had that like one final incredible drive, where Iman Tom Brady just did the, you know, like mental connection thing and it was all they needed. And I kind of feel the same way about Kelsey and Mahomes. They answer your question about Rice, though. You're right. They did start coming online a bit at the end of the season, becoming more of a target.
Starting point is 00:05:23 But the way that they've used him has evolved. I thought in this last game, what was really notable? He absolutely filled Miami with crossers, right? I think he went, the, well, homes went like five or six targeting him on, like deep overs. That's something they didn't really do earlier in the season. And I think as his trust in him has grown, his route tree has grown, the offense has gotten better as a result of that. All right. I've waited six minutes to finally ask you a Baker Mayfield question. I am so excited for this game on Sunday because I'm happy genuinely for Lions fans and for Baker supporters that have stood by our guy. Great stories, both.
Starting point is 00:05:56 All these years. I know that he struggled and you could maybe blame an injury towards like those last two weeks of the season. I was kind of getting worried. I'm like, oh no, is this magical run over? And then he had a brilliant performance against a, a, a, Neagle's defense. That is an absolute mess. But that still doesn't take away from the fact that Baker maybe made two bad throws in
Starting point is 00:06:16 that entire game. They would have easily had 400 yards passing if his receiver showed up the way that he did. That was a dominant performance from Baker Mayfield. I know he's a peaks in Valley's guy, but is he finally settling in and fulfilling some of that promise? Are you asking me if he has
Starting point is 00:06:34 the good, the good, the good? Yes, do you? Do you have the good? I think he's good. I don't think he's at the level of several of the quarterbacks in the playoffs, certainly in the AFC. But I think right now he is playing well enough so that it provided complimentary football is being played by Tampa.
Starting point is 00:06:55 They can certainly win. They can beat inferior opponents. They can beat a defense like the Eagles, which by the way, you know, I thought that experience was really telling because on the other side of the ball, like how much more confident did you feel watching Baker Mayfield and that offense versus Philadelphia, watching when the ball will leave his hands and you're watching a TV copy, you can't see who's on the other end. You would watch it thinking he's probably going to throw an accurate pass. My government has dropped it.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Where us never felt that confidence with Philly. I do think it's a continuation of what we saw a lot this season. It was, you know, Baker was not perfect. It was inconsistent at times. But he improved in ways that Mike, to me, feel sustainable and also are things he what didn't do earlier in his career. Specifically the sack avoidance. That was all, you know, you remember, that was always an issue with Baker.
Starting point is 00:07:40 I feel taking sacks, not getting the ball out quick enough. This year he was the eighth fastest quarterback in terms of time to throw. He was excellent on quick passes, 2.5 seconds or less. That's different from who he was at various points in Cleveland and certainly Carolina. So to see that, I think is really encouraging for his career. And I think that regardless of what happens this week, he'll probably stick around in Tampa. The Eagles are interesting. Meena, what do you do there? Like what do you do with Sireani? Oh, I lean towards moving on not just because of Sireani and the meltdown and the meltdown
Starting point is 00:08:18 and all phases and the way things went fell apart, but also the alternatives who are out there, right? Like you're not just moving on from Seriana, you'd hypothetically be moving on from him to one of these like incredible coaching candidates, Belicec, Vrayble, Mike McDonald, Ben Johnson. There's so many good options at the moment. I don't think it's like a complete gimme because obviouslyereoni success thus far, but to fail that the way they did, it's really hard not to lay that at the feet of the head coach, especially because that head coach defensively made one of the all time backfires, elevating map literature
Starting point is 00:08:59 weirdly in season. It didn't make sense. It felt like scapegoating proved to be the case. And then offensively, we remember Cereoni used to call plays at any point this season. It didn't make sense. It felt like scapegoating proved to be the case. And then offensively, we remember Ceyriana used to call plays at any point this season. He could have stepped in, taken it back, or I'm sure had some sort of influence on what we saw. But from the beginning until the very bitter end, the offensive coaching, the play calling was a massive issue in Philadelphia. Why do you think Balochek and Dallas didn't work out? We were discussing this earlier.
Starting point is 00:09:25 Did Belichick say he wanted to bring the entire staff? He wanted full control. Like who made that decision? We're, to be fair, we're just making the assumption that Jared did the old kick of the tires. Yes. Well, he did. Right.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Well, there's been no reporting about Jerry doing that. Actually, can I take another crack at a Stugots take? Because I actually, my opinion about this is a little bit Stugotsian. And I know I failed with my chiefs hot take. All right. Listen, I hope you're not offended. I'm just saying if you're going to go chiefs, the take to go with is Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reed, never winning another Super Bowl again together. How about that? That's a good take. You can use that. I don't believe that. It doesn't matter if you believe it or not.
Starting point is 00:10:05 I love that actually. Tony wants it. Tony's going to claim it. I'm telling you right now. I'm going to say something that I actually do kind of believe in that I think is something Stu would say, Bill Bella check, NFC East scared. Bill Bella check rumored to be linked with the Atlanta Falcons. That's heating him up heating up right now You're hearing reporting about a second interview and if see South easy
Starting point is 00:10:31 Bill Belichick taking the easy road to break the winds record is Bill Belichick scared of Competition is he tired of playing teams that are better than him in the AFC East after years of playing in an easy conference Does he want to division does he want to go to another easy division? Is Bill Bella check a front runner? People are asking questions. And like, and not unlike Sue got she's stealing other people's takes. It's great. It's incredible. Here's another take for you. Jordan Love will win more Super Bow balls than Aaron Rogers and Brett Farve combined. How about that? So he's got one, got one three, got it went three. I don't think I think that's unlikely because there's only four quarterbacks in the history of the sport of
Starting point is 00:11:17 the top of my head right. Who have won that many. But I do think Jordan love has a chance of winning at least one. I mean, he looks incredible to me. Either way he's played the second half of the season, what we saw in the post season, I am fully bought in on him. They're a young team. They're so well. What belt the roster is welcome.
Starting point is 00:11:36 Like the coaching is amazing. I, I, there are very few teams right now that I would not want, that I would want more to be a fan of than the green bay packers. Houston Texans have a similar thing because they're going to be good for a long time, right? Exactly. That's what I mean. Yeah. How do they do that? I don't know, dude. It's, I mean, I said, just fan, what is that like? Seeing green Bay go from one elite quarterback to another elite quarterback to an, like, how does that feel in your core watching Jordan love? Seeing that they clearly did it again, knowing that you're on the other side of that trade and you got there, you know,
Starting point is 00:12:09 sloppy seconds. It feels terrible. And here's what I know. Meena, in the year 2037, the Jets will trade for Jordan love. I hate that when he's bad. Hey, it's Mike Ryan. I love football and I love Miller Light. Why do I love Miller Light? Well, dependable flavor. The fact that it's a beer that tastes like beer. The fact that when I'm having a Miller Light, I don't have to think for one second about
Starting point is 00:12:36 the beer that I'm drinking. And I know that it's only 96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces. It's my favorite beer. I believe in the product. You might be sick of hearing me talk about it, but I'll be talking about it till I'm old and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces. It's my favorite beer. I believe in the product. You might be sick of hearing me talk about it, but I'll be talking about it till I'm old and gray because Miller Light is with me wherever I go, no matter the season.
Starting point is 00:12:53 And especially the winter time. I love drinking Miller Light during the winter is because when it's cold outside, I don't need a cozy for it. It's a perfect temp. It is the best beer. And it pairs well with Playoff Football. Miller Light, great taste, 96 calories.
Starting point is 00:13:06 Go to MillerLight.com slash Dan to find delivery options near you or you can pick up some Miller Light pretty much anywhere that they sell beer. Taste like Miller Time, celebrate responsibly. Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 96 calories in 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces. Don Lebatard.
Starting point is 00:13:23 Yes, you can talk about a double- double digit national titles when every single call of you winning the national title. It sounds like this. Oh, there's a stepping checker running down the sidelines. That's really easy. If the audio, yeah, that's not true. Yeah. And there's a wall, wall, wall, tube veteran pitching into another white guy and he avoids
Starting point is 00:13:40 another white guy. Oh my God. Notre Dame, the fighting Irish have done it again for the eighth time. I'm not playing white people. Oh my god. Not a name the fighting Irish have done it again for the 8th time I'm a pale white people. Oh, God. Shubby checker. Sorry. He's black. He's black and I was really going to be like, what's the name?
Starting point is 00:13:54 Shubby checker. I think I'm like, I'm sorry, man. I'm in Provinear. It's a pretty cool rip. He smells it differently. All right. His name is Shubby room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room.
Starting point is 00:14:09 It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room.
Starting point is 00:14:17 It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a pretty cool room. It's a show with this Tugat! Jodie Foster, of course, I'm watching True Detective. I am loving it so far, only in one episode,
Starting point is 00:14:45 but I think it is like a return to form. I am watching True Detective and loving it. It's, I mean, they've always kind of flirted with the supernatural, but then it would be rooted in reality and season four is leaning way in to the supernatural in ways that aren't necessarily canon for the true detective series. But I'm gonna enjoy the ride.
Starting point is 00:15:10 No doubt, I am as confused as I've ever been watching a true detective just because I was so disarmed by the supernatural elements to this show. Like the way that it started was so unlike anything I expected from the trailer. Yeah. I don't want to spoil for anyone because it's, yeah, this is not a spoiler, but I, I, I do think it's going to be an open question as to how much of the supernatural is real. It kind of reminds me a little bit of another HBO show, Little Watch, recapped by two folks here,
Starting point is 00:15:48 watched, recapped by two folks here, accents frequently impersonated the outsider, the source of the grief eater nickname, all right, reserved Meena Kimes trademark came up with that, which I loved also. So I like shows that kind of walk that line where you never really, it takes a second for you to decide whether or not mystical things are happening and I think they keep struggling it. Meena, are we saying they're just walking the line because of the three previous seasons? Because if this was just a show on its own, we just assume, oh, this is a supernatural show, but we can't get one by because there's always some sort of twist. But if this was just sand alone, and technically it is, but it is branded true detective,
Starting point is 00:16:27 we're wondering if there's going to be an oaky doke here. Nick pulls a lot of the creator of the show. We can't get one by this a lot of quite as quite a sense. I don't think anything happened. This is hard because we're doing the thing where we're trying to talk about the premier without revealing anything that actually happened in the premiere. I don't think anything happened. Mike, that is necessarily super natural. I'll just say that. I hear you, Mina. Oh, okay. I can't spoil it. Tony has the most important contribution to this conversation. And it pisses a lot of sounds like a great second basement sprays it all over the yard about. Yeah. That is seven position coach. So do you think this is going to be good?
Starting point is 00:17:11 Or because some wait Mike, I have a question for both of you because season one was great, right? We talked about it every single great season two, season three, we're just season three was good. Season two, consensus. Bad. I came up for season two, right. I'm not going to, I'm I understand how people draw that conclusion. For me, I think the biggest issue with season
Starting point is 00:17:30 two is that it followed season one. Right. And if season two happened in reverse order, it's like following Bellet check. Yeah. It would have been viewed differently. But I get what people say. Rachel Megadam was in season two in retrospect. I was just thinking like they had such famous people, like Vince Vaughan, the stupidest character, so misused. Season three, I like that was them, a Herschelaleese season, although I didn't love
Starting point is 00:17:53 how the only way you could tell what decade they were in was by looking at Ali's hair and just staring at it and trying to figure out if it was like an inch longer and shorter. And again, wow. I did like what I liked the most about three outside of the performances was there was an episode where they hinted at a shared universe with season one. Yeah. Whereas that's like a full on tip of the hat. And like this is actually a part of the same universe. Whereas in episode one of season four, there's more of like a little Easter egg for fans, legacy fans of True Detective with a, I won't spoil it.
Starting point is 00:18:29 Talking about the beer. Oh, I was good. Yeah. That was also the, yeah, yeah. That's not a spoiler. It's, yeah, no, spiral spiral was invoked in season three, too. But you can't spoil season two. Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:42 There's a lone star beer hanging there, which is how do you get a lone star beer in Alaska? Interesting. That is an Easter egg. Do you guys have the thing or whenever you see like a tangle of branches or a tumbleweed, do you turn to your significant or other in whisper carcosa the way my husband has to do, which is a very obscure callback with not scared, but it's a callback to you. I don't know if you've done that with not scared, but it's a callback season one. That often in Miami. But stick together, stick together, freak me out because of Blair Witch.
Starting point is 00:19:09 Stick together, right? When I was no, no, it's all this that tumble of stick. I don't even remember, but when we got married around the time that season one came out, maybe not long after. And literally every, I wanted to buy an altar and all the trendy altars are like tumble, like just bunches of sticks have hazardly tied together. And I refused to use any of them because they all reminded me of Carcosa. And I was like, I cannot get married. You mean us? Carcosa sticks are creepy. I'm not a big fan of sticks. Like when people tie sticks together and make like an effigy, there's nothing worse.
Starting point is 00:19:42 Mm-hmm. C.J. Shroud is damn good. Yeah, that might keep warning that out. He's speaking to season one. He's damn good. No, I do. I speak into the lone star state. I do think that there was a bit of fool's gold when it came to Cleveland's defense when he looked at their home road splits, but that was, and they did not play well at all, but CJ Shroud was beating them with ball
Starting point is 00:20:05 placement and throwing guys open. He, the guy is incredible. He can make every throw and he seems unfazed and unflappable, rookie at this point going up against one of the top rated defenses in the league. I mean, you say what you will, you could not be surprised by the result, but the performance itself, I did find surprising. Yeah. I found it surprising because of the strength of the Browns defense and how easily they carved them up through scheme, not what CJ Stroud did. He's been credible all season long. I think what makes CJ so impressive is they keep both blazing in offense where you watch it and you think, oh, this is why their offensive coordinator Bobby Slough is getting had coaching interviews.
Starting point is 00:20:47 Schematically, they appear to be a step ahead and he was a step ahead of Jim Schwartz, who's very good defensive coordinator. So that's a credit to him. But then he also goes above and beyond. Like they're the moments where like the tight ends wide open and they're manipulating with all the motions and you watch the brown defenders flowing in one direction and the guys running wide open leaking the other side of the field. They do that. But then there are plays where pressure does get through or a CJ has to
Starting point is 00:21:09 do something on his own create. And he does that too. And that's of course the most, it's similar to actually I really feel the same way by Jordan, love and green Bay, where you have both the scheme that elevates everybody, but then the quarterback who elevates the offense beyond the scheme. Are you going to be surprised if they beat Baltimore? Yeah. Really? I do think yeah. I think I went back and watched the week one game, which is not that useful in some ways because both of these teams are very different from now. Stroud is of obvious reasons. You know, he was very new at the time. He is now very, he's much more seasoned. And Baltimore was actually missing a lot of players who are playing now. But I think this Ravens offense, a couple things, they're so balanced. But I think this Ravens offense a couple things are so balanced.
Starting point is 00:21:46 I think offensively they have so many different answers for the things defense throw at them. Like we talked about this on my podcast, me and a show featuring Lenny. If you guys like football, check it out wherever you get your pods. The difference between this team and the 2019 team, the 2019 team, remember Lamar was amazing. But in the playoffs, the Titans basically took away the middle of the field and they said, throw outside and Ravens couldn't do it. They can do that now. Lamar has been the best quarterback and football on intermediate passes outside the numbers. If you play the pass, they will run the ball. And then defensively, they're really different from Baltimore in a way that I think presents much more challenges
Starting point is 00:22:18 to stride in this offense. They're much more, they're trickier. What they do with their pressures and coverages. I think they have really talented coverage players more so, frankly, than Cleveland. So I do think that the, this is going to come to an end here, but I wouldn't be surprised if it looks more competitive than it did in week one. Will you be surprised if the Packers go to San Francisco and beat the Niners? Yeah. I mean, I, that's less about Jordan love and Dan, I would not Dan, wow, Dan. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:49 What happened? I just can't, I can't be my college Dan. I can't, I can't either. I mean, it's like when you call your teacher mom, like I just, I'm so, I'm so just proud by this. Are you okay? Yeah, I'm okay. Yeah. I don't know who was like that, who that's an insult to about three of us.
Starting point is 00:23:10 People can work that out. Yeah, I have, I don't, I, yeah. Oh, Keith. I'm really struck by this. Shake it off, Peter. It's okay. We can keep it moving. The practice defense is bad.
Starting point is 00:23:21 They're really bad. And I just don't see, they'll be able to stop the San Francisco offense. I'm trying to think of a Dan question. It was a good suggestion by Jess. Yeah. I'm asking you all these like straightforward football questions. Should we be playing football anymore? I mean, is it too dangerous? No, come on. Keep going. You do better than that. What is the most Dan questions? That's a pretty good one right there. Do you do what I do every Sunday where I enjoy watching football, but I also say to myself, we shouldn't be playing football. I think you'd have to, I'm not gonna answer that.
Starting point is 00:23:55 I think you'd have to isolate like a single injury that most people missed and ask me, did that make you question the whole affair Did you question your role in the grand circus that You called me dad Wearing like more dad like close me. Yeah, I think you got a stylist Meena. I think you got a stylist. Meena. You get a kid.
Starting point is 00:24:26 I'm gonna hold you to these predictions because you had a two-gots moment last week where you picked both the lions and the Rams. I did. So, good to see you. So proud of you. But I'm gonna make you make predictions on these cams. They can work out for me, by the way.
Starting point is 00:24:41 I picked the lions. It's impossible, my podcast. And nobody noticed, I picked the Rams. Unfortunately, as part of a unanimous panel on TV, that teams love it when you do that and you're wrong. That's fine. That's correct. But my point is my stugotsian approach,
Starting point is 00:24:57 backfired in a big way. I should have done the reverse. Yes. Yes. So the move is to always be the one person who picks the other team because no one cares if you're wrong, right? But if you're right, fans treat you like Nostradamus. Like they're like, oh, me and it comes.
Starting point is 00:25:12 No, it's ball. She's the one people person who believed in us on this stupid panel, who says former players have to be analysts. This chick knows what she's talking about. All except to do is be the one person. All right. So straight up winners for the divisional round of the NFL. Yeah. I'm going Niners Ravens, Lions, Chiefs. So Chiefs are my only underdog, I think. Well, if you have to stay with the Chiefs,
Starting point is 00:25:37 I gotta stay with it. Yes. Yes. AFC Championship. The take was fun. How long am I going to wait to retweet that? probably like 10 seconds. I'll probably know even if the chiefs are like leading with, I don't know if I want to I want to play it safe, but I'm going to smash that. I'm going to quote tweet it with the eyes emoji like the eyes in between two little trees. I love Josh Allen. No, I want them to win so badly.
Starting point is 00:26:00 I do. I do want the people Buffalo to have that. But I'm not rooting against them. I enjoy them and I enjoy that quarterback a lot. But I am really, it's the most look forward to game of the other slate for a reason, not just because it's the best match, but it's got the best drama to it. Yeah. Check out me to show the mean of time. Show featuring Lenny. Meena, we love you. We will talk to you next week. Enjoy the football. I can't believe you call me dead. I'll do my best to enjoy it despite
Starting point is 00:26:36 the, you know, the violence and the, there we go. My injuries stand side. Don Lebatard. I feel like we need to normalize saying the scientific terms for organs on the air. Like someone, yes. You know what? If someone takes a foul ball to the penis, we should just say he took a foul ball to the penis. Say it. Stugats. That freaky kid I'm writing like, cock a doodle do.
Starting point is 00:27:03 This is the Don Lebatardars show with this two-gats! // I saw something on my Twitter feed yesterday and it was so confusing that I thought it was a joke. Initially, especially because I saw a trailer for this J-Lo musical. I don't know if you guys are familiar with this whole thing, but I saw the cast first, and it said Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck, that Joe, Neil DeGrasse Tyson. This was how I, I'm just telling you how I experienced this. And I saw about 30 seconds of this montage-like trailer,
Starting point is 00:27:44 and there was J-Lo music in the background. about 30 seconds of this montage like trailer and there was JLo music in the background. And in the description right after it said Neil deGrasse Tyson, it said that it was musical. And I was like, is this like a Super Bowl commercial campaign, is this like a fake thing? But apparently she's making a musical about what I presume is her life?
Starting point is 00:28:02 Yeah, that seems to be it. It looks terrible. You know, it to be it. It looks terrible. It looks really bad. It was really bad and it was like, I can't even follow this joke through because what I'm seeing on my screen on my phone right now is so bad, it was cringey. It was cringey.
Starting point is 00:28:15 Who asked for this? It's a musical, right? Yeah, this is the first musical that's been in a preview that's like, oh, this is a musical that I have no interest in seeing. Really? And I do watch the musical. Hold on, did you watch a catch trailer? All right, but I want to watch that.
Starting point is 00:28:29 This is the second musical. Yeah, that was great to watch that. And I didn't, but I wanted to watch that from cats. Cats, cats. Cats, yeah. I wanted to watch that from a perspective about how terrible it was. That's was so bad.
Starting point is 00:28:41 It's a different thing for the audience. They didn't take them out. They didn't have the buttls. But yeah. Right. So the part about this that just looks terrible is not only is it like super self indulgent, but it just seems like JLo acting as her self doesn't look good. It's like, how can
Starting point is 00:28:59 you not act as yourself? Well, like there are all these people like that Joe is her therapist, like you said, and it's like, I just don't. I didn't say that. So fat Joe is a therapist. That's her therapist. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:12 That's it. JLo fat Joe, Neil deGrasse Tyson, great celebrity jeopardy lineup. Ooh, that would be good. Not sure about the movie though. She does. He does. He does Neil deGrasse Tyson play. Is he playing himself?
Starting point is 00:29:22 Like, is everyone's playing themselves? Fat Joe's not playing. I don't think is he playing himself? Like, is everyone's playing themselves? Fat Joe's not playing. I don't think he's playing the quarterback of the Jets. Like, he's been a half like playing himself or like a me. Because there was a guy in this, at the start of this trailer. And again, I only made it like 30 seconds that she was loving up on.
Starting point is 00:29:38 That was not been at. Well, she gets confronted by her friends about having sex addiction. That's in like the first 20 minutes, or 20 seconds of the trailer. So that's a plot point at some point as well, which is interesting. I just, I'm not, why isn't it a sale?
Starting point is 00:29:53 Ben Affleck's had like, only if you say like that. Ben Affleck's had a very interesting career because he was like hottest thing in Hollywood. Then he does a poorly received superhero movie, movie with Jennifer Lopez, would Jennifer Lopez, critically, and, yeah, builds, jeannie. And then then he builds himself back up again behind the scenes, filmmaker, director, the town.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Uh, and then he was like, you know what? Is a good mood for me. And let me do a bad superhero movie again, because I worked out so much so the first time. And now he's like revisiting the JLo stuff. And he's like, yeah, let's do a movie together because that went so well. The first time he's not learning from perceived career mistakes. I'm not going to tell him who to love. I'm going to zag here.
Starting point is 00:30:37 Everyone seems to be crushing this. Like she tends to make good choices, right? I mean, is it like she was good? Hustlers was good. Hustlers was good. People liked her superble performance, no? I loved it. I just feel like there's not a lot where she's like, I feel like she's like good at making choices. The 30 seconds of this thing that I saw, I felt secondhand. I say that having seen, I
Starting point is 00:30:57 have not seen the trailer. Maybe I should go watch it and come back. Funny about this is that the recent trend in trailers has been don't tell anyone this is horrible. And that people show up at Waffle. Yeah, I saw a reaction vid to a crowd, the mean girls, where there's an audible grown up. It is very funny. I mean, why would you not tell an audience they're about to sit in a musical?
Starting point is 00:31:21 I just watched the trailer for this and there are several scenes that look like they're out of a Marvel movie. like like she didn't space. I'm intrigued. Yeah, go to space. That's when you're the Christ's license there. Oh, I'm left with a lot of that just money. It's about what they're floating. Remember he teaches her what's in maybe I'm in. I'm talking this one out and I'm thinking I them in. Just as a cultural event. I can't tell what's happening, which does make me intrigued. Yeah, it's got a little salt burn aspect to it.
Starting point is 00:31:51 Like wait till you see this. I saw that by the way. You did what you think. I get why everyone's talking about it, but I tend to be, it wasn't an enjoyable experience. I mean, I enjoyed the shock value of some of these scenes. Was it ruined because Dan went out of his way to ruin the shock value?
Starting point is 00:32:07 I was kind of expecting something shocking. I felt like it was just a rinse repeat of like, oh, we're moving towards something here. Ooh, sexual, I like sexual. This is gonna be, oh God. And then it would like continue on with the movie. And you're like, all right, that was weird before. This is gonna be good.
Starting point is 00:32:20 All right, we're back. This is just a normal, ooh, is he gonna, ooh, he likes that guy, ooh, is he gay? Is that guy gay? This is awesome. There's tension here. Oh, God, it was just like a rinse repeat of like, kind of normal movie building up to something
Starting point is 00:32:31 and then something insanely shocking. And then a little bit more build. It was just like, a little hands-pick thing. By the time we got to the graveyard, I was just like, you can't, there's nothing you can show me at this point. That's gonna shock me.
Starting point is 00:32:41 Yeah, and then he did. And then he did. Yeah, it wasn't provis- He improvised the scene. He improvised that scene. Yeah, yeah, he did. Yeah, it wasn't provides. He improvised the improvise that scene. Yeah. Yeah, he improvised that scene. I need a weird documentary. I love him. I need to see a reverse camera angle on the, no, not from the tombstone. I mean, you can get the direct. No, I want to see the, the, the filmmaker. It's like, all right,
Starting point is 00:33:02 be very down below. Yeah. Yeah. And also not super flattering for him, because you're just seeing the tip. But the other side of the camera, I do want to see like, how does one, they just let him excel at the character. Confidence to just explain like we're doing. Let him work. Hold up.
Starting point is 00:33:21 Let him cook. What's he doing? There's a Tony on the other side. Hold up. He's doing us something. Hold up. It's raining. Put some warm water. I'm picturing him during shootings like let me do one more.
Starting point is 00:33:32 I got an idea. Did we get it? Did we get it? Yeah, buddy, we got it. Hold on. Okay, yeah. How embarrassing for him if they didn't use that in the move. And like they had the rap party and they're like,
Starting point is 00:33:45 yeah, that was weird, right? Yeah, it was a great movie, but I gotta tell you, there was this one very just started. Where it is. Well, even we're there would be if they include it and then he's like, oh, you guys were filming that. I think the funny scenario, what is the funny, man, it's pretty funny just privately at the party.
Starting point is 00:34:06 And like, this would be a grail of footage that it would be talked about in parties that, yeah, one time Barry really went for an unset. And he was just feeling and he thought this was the best. And we didn't use it. Everybody would be trying to find this footage. So good. Let my boy, he improvised that. Yeah, he did. They said there were there were several scenes that he improvised, but he said that
Starting point is 00:34:34 that the no, the bathtub scene was not improvised. But that's the most the main one for me. Well, because that's the first one. That's the first shock. Yes, the drain. That's the drain for me. Discousting. That's like shocking. It's just like, oh, yucky. It's like, look. That's like, look. That's like, oh, it's hair and mold is down there.
Starting point is 00:34:50 Yeah, because any of the shirts, like, making a slurpy sound, like, oh, you're getting a good slur. It's getting in it. Yeah, you're getting it in there. Yeah, you're getting it in there. I have a rule in my house that any drain related, like, whether anything plumbing related, anything in the sink, if there's something stuck in the sink, that's Lehman's job. Anything yucky, Lehman's job.
Starting point is 00:35:07 I have a tip for most people. Oh, yeah. Only most. Yeah. Well, because I do think that most, well, some in our audience know about this. The plunger, the toilet plunger, it's called the toilet plunger. We've put it in our minds that it's only for plunging toilets. So when you run into a sink issue
Starting point is 00:35:28 or a clogged rain in your tub, you call a plumber. You try to figure out what this is. No, my friends. The plunger. The plunger. The plunger, it fixes your toilets when it's clogged. It can fix a sink.
Starting point is 00:35:43 It can fix a shower drain. But there's two different types of plunger. What if I'm choking? There's a toilet plunger and a sink plunger and they're shaped differently. Okay. The toilet plunger can fix any kind of hold. Okay. It is their poopy on it. Well, that's the thing. What if you need to snake though? I have a snake in there. I don't, I haven't needed a plumber. Barry got a snake in there. I have a need in a plumber. Barry got a snake in there. Can I say something? I'm very proud of my track record to fix in twins.
Starting point is 00:36:10 I'm very ashamed of what I'm about to say. I stink at using a plunger. Me too. Anytime I've needed to use one, I can't get the suction. I enjoy it so much. I do the motion and then I have to do the thing where I'm like, is the poop in there and then like just water falls out. It's like, I'm like, you gotta,
Starting point is 00:36:26 I've never got it. I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, there's like a sweet sponge. I'm like, there's a sweet spot where you're in an air pocket and you know it and it just right, oh, oh, it's just a bunch of water that falls out. I'm always looking for that poop. Where's that poop in there?
Starting point is 00:36:40 Where's that toilet paper? I enjoy it so much that you should call me over. I will drive up the Broward. Dude. And I will unclog your place. It always feels like you got it.
