So the most annoying people are the anti-tush push people, like the Tush Push people. like the tush push exists, it's going to stay, it's going to be there, get over it. But I was reading this story of Kavon Tibido talking about the tush push. Giants Kavon Tibido preps for fine after calling out refs on Eagles' tush push.

Let's see, man, I don't know. That's some shit. Honestly, when it comes to that play, Tibado said, with the Eagles facing fourth and one early in the second quarter, they executed the hotly debated short-yardage play, which officials have been instructed to call more stringently since the start of the season after previous Eagles penalty, such as lining up offside or moving early, had gone uncalled. This time, Hertz lunged forward and pushed the ball beyond the line to gain for the first down, but Thibodeau snatched the pigskin from Hertz clutches.

The side judge, however, had ruled Hertz forward progress had been stopped. Quote, he said they called the forward progress before he reached the ball out. That sounds like some shit to me. That's very smart heads-up football play. Tough to not have that go our way, said Bobby O'Caricay. Here's the thing, man. Like, the tush push shit's not going to go your way. It's not.

The Eagles own the tush push. The Eagles are not going to get called for anything on the tush push. So either figure out how to stop it, which is virtually impossible, or stop bitching. Because the league can say all they want to say about how they're trying to stop all the shit. It ain't going to stop. They're not going to call the false starts for. the most part. They're not going to call. They have an advantage on this. So what everybody should be doing is just learn how to run the fucking play. Everybody should run the play.

I know you don't want to put your quarterback in peril and all that shit. Do it. It is an unstoppable play when executed properly. So stop bitching about it, which would be, you know, a solid move on your part. Anyway, let's see here. Let's play a couple commercials and we will continue. I actually saw a pretty good movie this weekend. I know I'm kind of all over the place here, but I went to see this movie with Keanu Reeves. What the hell is this movie called?

It is called. Now, I don't remember what the damn movie was called. It is called. I still can't find the damn name of the movie. But it was a good movie. It was with Keanu Reeves and with Seth Rogen and with Assis Ansari. And it was really good. I laughed and it had a good little message.

Janet. And good fortune is the name of the movie. And Jillie and I saw it this weekend. Again, I bring this up every time we talk about going to the movies. It is depressing that nobody is at the movies anymore. And this theater is in an outlet mall. It's a good theater, but the problem is they haven't updated the seats. So the seats are still all these old 1990 seats. So there's no recliners or anything. And they still make you pick a seat, which I think is stupid. Like, why do I need to choose a seat for a basic theater? Like, it's a huge theater with a bunch of seats. There are no recliners.

Why do I need to go out and pick a seat? Like, just I'll walk in. If there's a seat available, there's a seat available. There's eight people here. But I picked a seat, right? So I picked these two in the middle, and I never sit in the middle at the movie. I'm more of an aisle guy. But nobody goes to the movies anymore, so I'm not worried about having to cross over in front of anybody I don't know,

which was one of my great fears growing up. Like, as a kid, when my dad would send me out to get the sodi pops or the popcorn. when we go to the movies and there'd be a sex scene so he'd make me leave. Like, I always hated having a crossover in front of people. It was the worst. So my dad always taught me that we should sit on the aisle because it's just the easiest end and the easiest out. It makes sense, right?

Totally. Well, what ends up happening is they make you pick a seat even in a theater in an auditorium that has no recliners. It's just a bunch of old school basic chairs. And here we are, I'm forced into picking a seat. So I pick two seats in the middle because I assume no one else is going to be there. not only were there people there but these people was a group of like five or six annoying ass people and they all sat directly behind me and I'm like I feel claustrophobic I feel cluttered like what are

we doing here this I don't like this like just go sit somewhere else like you're not competing with anybody for these seats there are eight people in this movie the two of us me and my wife and the six people that are in this little group of annoying people now in defense of this area The people at the theater here are not nearly as annoying as the people in St. Louis, which are the worst movie theater patrons in the history of cinema. No one is better at worse at seeing a movie and being obnoxious than the people in St. Louis, Missouri, they are the worst movie patrons on the planet. They don't stop talking. They are on their phones constantly. They are annoying, terrible people, and they are the worst.

These people eventually shut up during the movie, but they were just annoying, and it was annoying that they were right on top of us. And this isn't like a theater with recliners where there's like a mile between you. They're just stacked right on top of you in this old movie theater. I don't understand how a movie theater does not have recliners. I'm not trying to be a snob or anything like that. But if the options are to go to a movie theater that's got big, comfortable plush chairs or sitting in a 1990s weird reclining rocker type, it doesn't recline, it just kind of rocks back and forth.

This is how old these seats are? The seats are so old that the cup holders are not big enough to hold a large drink. Drinks have grown in size so much since these seats were installed that the largest drink would not fit in the cup holder. That's where we are. Fix it. But then you're in the theater and it's in the outlet mall. The Outlaw Mall's packed. It's one of those big outlet malls.

It's like Katie Mills Mall basically out in Houston. And you're walking through there and there's a big theater at the end of it and all that. So we went to see a movie there. There may have been 20 people in the entire 25 screen movie theater. And it's such a sad, desolate place. The movie theater depresses me now. And I love movies. Like, if the movie theaters ever went away, I'd be depressed.

Like, the malls are dying, and the department stores are dying. And everything is dying. But the cinema still exists. And I'm sure that there are times that I just don't go and that there are people there. I'm sure, like, at a, you know, a 7 o'clock on a Saturday, people are at the cinema. I happen to go to the movies at, you know, 1.30 in the afternoon on a Saturday, not the busiest time. And in defense of the cinema, when we were in St. Louis and we would go see the movies on Tuesday night, there'd be good crowds for those movies. But man, to see absolutely nobody in a cinema is just wild.

And the last time, we went to see that to him, there was nobody else in the theater with us. It was just the two of us in this giant theater. And it's like, it's a weird world, man. Because the theater, I tell you guys this all the time. The movie theater is like my favorite place. I just love going to the movies I love the popcorn and the sody pop I like the event of going to see a movie

I don't like to sit on my ass at home and watch a movie I won't pay attention to it but at the theater I'm forced to put my phone down and actually pay attention to the movie and I will miss that if it ceased to exist but the movie itself though was actually very good basically it was about a cease-sensari and he's got a shitty life

and like an angel tries to kind of help him out and the angelist Keanu Reeves and somehow he ends up like in a, it's a, basically, it was kind of a body switch movie, but it wasn't really a body switch movie. And then he gets to kind of occupy the life of Seth Rogen for a while. And like, Seth Rogen's trying to figure out how to get his life back. Like, I thought it was good. Like, very few movies do I watch and say, oh, that's good. I thought it was legitimately good.

I would urge you to see it or just wait for it to come out. It's not a theater movie. You don't have to see it. It's not like it's an IMAX or something like that. So if you wanted to wait to watch it until it's, you know, at home, watch it when it's at home. but I liked it, you know. I'm also, this week is the debut of the Dairy or Welcome to Dairy or whatever, the It prequel, which I'm kind of into.

I'm not into It at all. Like, I didn't like the remake of it. I didn't bother watching the second part of the remake. When I go back and I watch the OG one, like I watched the first 15 minutes of it with the, you know, they all float type shit. And then I'm kind of like, I'm over it. I don't really care. but I love origin stories because I like to see how these characters come to be.

Like I'm really, I'm wanting a nightmare on Elm Street. Like I want a Freddie origin story. I love origin stories. You know, outside of that, like I really hated the remakes of it. Like I watched the first one. It was long and I didn't like it. But, and then I didn't even bother with the second. But I'm kind of looking forward to this.

I'll give it a watch. I say that. And then I never watch anything. You know what I watch at home? Two and a half men. And when Beavis and Budhead is on the On Demand, I watch that. I really need to get my life back in order and start just watching more shit and enjoying life. But I just spend all my time on my phone, whether it's gambling or whatever.

I'm just on their football occupies me so much. I should just sit my fat ass on the couch and make a concerted effort to just watch something. But I don't. Like I try and I can't. I'd like to watch as much of this shit as I can. But I just can't get myself to commit to it and I hate it. Then before you know, my weekend's gone. and I've spent almost my entire weekend on my phone looking at football games.

And I'm like, Josh, what the fuck are you doing? Like, what are you doing with your life, dude? Anyway, more to come.
