the 2024 NFL season by quoting this is the end. First of all, if you're listening right now and you're with your children, you know what? Let's give it a pause. Let's just give them a pause until we get there. But also, this is the end. This is my favorite movie.

Craig, is that your favorite movie too? Favorite movie ever? No. But it's one of my favorite. favorite comedies ever. Yeah. It's your favorite movie ever? Honestly, if I had like the Desert Island thing, it's in the top three of what I would bring with me.

That's fair. Desert Island, I feel like I'm only taking happy stuff because odds are I'm probably not in the best mood if I'm stranded on an island. So I probably'm going full comedy. And yeah, this probably makes the cut. I always used to joke because of the title that this is the end was the end of comedy.

Because after this, it kind of started to tailor off. There was like neighbors. And there was a few other ones that were like fine. but really this was like around the time when studios stopped making good, big comedies. And this is coming to the end of the time when it comes to fantasy football advice too because there's only three weeks left till the season

which is insane to think about. And honestly, we have all this analysis, we all these numbers and yards per route run. And you know what? Sometimes you actually just need a movie quote for any of this information actually stick in your freaking brain. So it's almost like a pneumotic device,

but better, right, D.K.? Yeah, exactly. I forgot how much I love this movie, by the way, Chad, my two cents. It's so freaking funny. I think it's Apex Mountain of like, like, flexing that you can get any movie concept made. Yeah. There was like the whole sequel to Pineapple Express like bit in the movie, which I thought was hilarious.

Because they actually tried to like, didn't they try to get that movie made and it just didn't really work out or whatever. I think that was like a North Korea derailed project. No, that was the interview. But yeah, unless you're joking. No, but I'm saying, but didn't the fall out from that kill Pineapple 2 or was that earlier? Or they just, that's how we found out about Pineapple 2. Yeah, yeah, there were emails about it. Yeah.

Which also, we don't talk about that enough. But there we go. Oh, new show coming out with the ringer, right? Boom. Yeah, it's called the Hollywood hack. Brian Raftery, the journalist and host of that podcast, was actually on the town today or yesterday. So check that out, talking about the 10-year anniversary of the Sony hack.

Nice. The interview is also pretty funny, and that came out a year after this movie. So we should probably make sure not to make fun of Kim Jong-un on this podcast? Is that basically the... You think he plays fantasy football? Remember how he claimed that he... shot in 18 on a golf course. He had 18 hole in ones.

He's a perfect record in fantasy football. I imagine he just gets to pick the entire first round. He gets the first 12 picks and then everybody else starts. So yeah, so we're going to go through. And in case you're wondering what the hell's going on, we're going to literally just describe the season and we're just going to assign people, places, teams, things, whatever to just things from the this is the end movie,

which again, Seth Rogen, James Frank. It's just like literally, it's my favorite movie ever. I just can't believe the pitch. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, his writing partner, walked into a room and we're like, all right, here's the idea. We all play ourselves. It's kind of just all of our best friends.

It's a giant party. The apocalypse happens. The rapture occurs. And then it's all of us just kind of stranded in our house. And Jonah Hill gets possessed by a demon. And Emma Watson shows up. And then at the end, we all just dance to Backstreet Boys at Heaven.

And Sony was like, no problem. Let's do this. How much money do you want? Yeah. Oh, you're like, you're going to play characters. Like, no, no, no. we're actually going to just play ourselves

and our friends will write each other's lines for them. There's also like a lot of special effects in this movie. The giant demon dick at the end. Well, actually multiple demon dicks. Who gets castrated by the theme of God? Great. All right. So does anyone want to come out swinging here?

Who wants to just go first? Speaking of demon dicks. Yeah. Speaking of demon dicks, those come out swinging. Oh, there you go. Nice. This actually isn't a quote.

But rewatching the movie, I couldn't help but think about the catastrophic offseason preseason the Vikings are having. And I was just like, the Vikings are the sinkhole. Oh, God. I mean, my God, the defense has taken a ton of hits. J.J. McCarthy tore his meniscus and is out for the season. He's out for the entire season, yeah. I saw some tweet that said that J.J. McCarthy is the first rookie quarterback to miss the entire rookie season since like the 60s? First round quarterback.

First round quarterback to miss the entire season. I was pretty shocked to that, too. He's going to be, this is like new ground we're treading on. He's the first, first round quarterback that will miss his entire rookie season. Obviously, it's terrible for development. It's a huge bummer because he was looking really good in that preseason game. We didn't even see when he got hurt. Like it just came out later that his knee was sore after the game.

Those are my least favorite types of injuries. I at least want to see it. I hate when they just tell me after a game. Yeah, like Herbert just left practice and was like, yeah, my foot's been hurting. And it turns out that's really bad. Yeah, I need closure. I want to see it. And then obviously, add in T.J. Hawkinson, Torres Zayl last year.

He might not start the season. Jordan Addison, the Robert Siever, just hurt his ankle. It seems like he's going to be okay. He may be suspended because of multiple driving offenses. Right. Yeah, there's just been a ton going wrong from Minnesota. Honestly, JJ McCarthy, he's like Michael Sarah. Like, you know, he's just out there.

Is it bad? You think he's going to be there for the whole movie? And then he gets impaled on a freaking light post 10 minutes in. Michael Sarah, he comes in so hot in this movie. He just blows the cocaine into McLevin's face. The fact that they do that, the Superbad reunion with those three, but they're all playing completely different characters than who they were in Superbad is so perfect. And when Jay walks into the bathroom and Michael Sarah has two women on each side of him on their knee,

and he's just like, he's got the juice box. And he's fucking dead in his eyes. And he's like, sip time. staring at him. And he's just staring at Jay. Sit time. And Darnold just walks out. It's like,

damn. No, I think you're right. Yeah, the Vikings are, honestly, every, I've started,

I stole from Bill and Sal, the cross-off teams where they do it every week, but I actually just check in every week in August. And I'm like, I just start crossing off teams that could possibly conceivably make the playoffs. Like when Chris Olava said, was asked, is there anything positive about your offense?

And Olava just was like, no, not really. But what? Done with them. That's all I need to hear. Vikings, like,

when they hit like their fourth major injury, I was like, well, well, they're done. I love it in the movie they're trying to save Dave Krumholt

and they're like orchestrating this plan to save him. I'm going to swing my foot up to the left here. And the second they try it just drops. I'm a swing across.

I got you, buddy. You're going to hold my weight all of it. Okay, come on. You can hold on to my full weight. I can do it. I don't want to die.

Okay. One, two, two, three. Oh! I was swing all my weight on you. Dude, that's, that's one of my quotes if you want to get to it right away. Because I, like, to me, that was actually maybe the funniest, like, mini scene of the entire movie.

The amount of times he talks about giving him his full weight. He's like, I'm going to give you my full weight. Are you ready? Can you hold me? It's going to be really heavy. You can hold on to my full weight. And Jay's like, yeah, I'm going to swing you up. Grab my hand.

It just lets him go immediately. My metaphor for that scene is taking Anthony Richardson in like very early in a draft and just expecting that he won't get hurt in 75% of his games. That's him running. I'm going to give you my full weight when I run. My full weight. All of it. You can hold on to my full weight. I don't want to die.

He just immediately falls and die. Yeah. So I think this is like, you know, obviously we all hope Anthony Richardson can stay healthy this year. but, you know, the track record so far is really, really grim. So, you know, those first couple of games, I'm just going to be so nervous that he's just going to, you know, get banged up again. I don't know. But obviously, also, the upside is absolutely ridiculous with Anthony Richardson. He's like, you know, one of the one of my favorite league winning type of players in this draft.

But I'm also just going to be absolutely nervous to take him. I'm going to give you my whole weight. I love how many times he says that. And it's the fact that it's also just Dave Crumholtz, who I don't associate with those people at all. Even all the other ancillary, like cameos in the movies, like, Mindy Kaling, like, sure, that makes sense. Jason Seagulls into Kevin Hart, Aziz Ansari.

And then I'm just like, Dave Crumholtz. So I'm not going to lie. The movie's lit weird. I kind of was like, I didn't know what was him. I thought it was a, what's his face from New Girl? Oh, Jake Johnson? I didn't even realize he wasn't that guy. He's off friend.

Jake Johnson. I just thought they were the same dude. I don't know. So funny. I think Anthony Richardson is easily the most controversial quarterback in fantasy football this year, wouldn't you say? Yeah, for sure. Because, you know, obviously, even going back to college,

if you would have talked to Florida fans during the draft period, they're like, this guy's going to be a top five pick in the NFL. Like, he barely threw any passes for us. Like, he's one of the most raw prospects of all time. And I think people are still holding on to that. And by the way, it's actually true. Like he is very inexperienced. I'll put it that way.

I don't think like raw is the right term. We've talked about this in the draft show because he is advanced in some ways. But he doesn't have a long track record of success. Obviously last year he doesn't have a track record of staying healthy. He's played 17 football games since high school. Yeah. So you're putting a lot of eggs in this basket that he is like, are you sure you're able to hold my whole weight?

Like the whole weight of my team is on his shoulders. so hopefully he can say healthy and do what we think he can do. It's weird to think that if Anthony Richardson plays a whole season, it will equal the amount of starts he made since he was literally a high school senior. Like that's mildly unnerving. I'm going to give you my whole weight. It'll work for me. I tried to save his Z's.

I love, oh God, I just love Paul Rudd stepping on some woman's face and it switches like it's a I'm sorry. Plato. My next one. So I love the scene when they all draw straws with the matches. Oh, yeah. And the first time they do it, Craig Robinson pulls it immediately.

And then the second time they do it, they're all going around. And then Seth Rogen gets stuck with the last one. And he's like, he's like, I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it, guys. Like, I'm not going. And I just watched that. And I immediately thought of like,

that's Brandon Ayuk with all the 49ers. Like all the 49ers are like, know, they're like, look, man, one of us is not going to get paid. Like, one of us isn't going to get paid. Let's draw, straws. And then they all go, and Iuke loses. He's like, I'm not fucking playing. I'm not.

Yeah, I'm not doing it. I'm not playing it. I'm like, you have to play it. He's like, I'm bowing out. Like, I'm bowing out. What's the latest update on the Brandon Nyuk's situation? I don't know, man. Same shit.

The Niners are now, I think they offered it a little bit more money and they're getting closer to the Steelers offer. I think now I go back and forth every day. Now I think he's going to stay in San Francisco and play for the Niners this year and they're going to sign him any day now. He's overplaying his hand both with the 49ers. Well, that might be not be true. They might give him a big amount of money.

But at least with the 49ers, but especially with the fans who are now just sick of my youth. Everybody fucking hates him. All my Niners friends are sick of this guy. They say that. But then they're like oh, better. But like they want a hundred yards week one. They'll love it. So, and also it's, Iyuk wants apparently

probably wants like $32 million or so which is AJ Brown money number two everyone's behind Justin Jefferson but he wants AJ Brown money at $32 million and the Niners are reportedly offering like $28 million which is Jalen Waddle money or DJ more money and so both it's both a lot and not that big of a difference

but it's also just the Niners have I mean they're paying Tripp Williams and they have to give him a raise I mean millions and millions against their cap they're going to have to pay Brock Purdy already paid Debo Samuel George Kittle Fred Warner who's a lineback 29 years old. They just paid all these dudes. But I do think it's just like, oh, they're like, all right, Brandon, we'll send you to New

England. And he declined it. And he's just like, I'm not fucking going. Is he allowed to do that? So I, all right, so this is the Hassan Reddick thing with the jets, right? Craig's lights. Oh, yeah, we're doing this video. So Craig is in the Spotify office, but you're in L.A. Is this the end in L.A.? This is our, yeah, I know, this is the end. Literally, it's go outside.

It's the apartment. Come on. There we go. So it's one of those rooms where it's like motion action. There's nothing, nothing more depressing when you're at an office. And then like the lights go off because you're the only one there and you've been the only one there for so long. I get that it's energy saving, but you know what? Save me more. You got to be more animated.

Move around more. Yeah. Wave your hands. Yeah, I thought you'd have to tell you. Talk with your hands. Right. Well, one of them's holding a mic, so it's hard. Only one is doing the hand motions.

High Fitz. You know what I thought of when that line happened or when he just is like, yeah, I'm not doing it. is when the whole league decides on a punishment for last place and then the person who gets last place is like. I'm not doing that. I'm not fucking going. I'm not going to go single on the street or whatever in a diaper. You want me to sell lemonade until they make $100?

No way. That's the hardest part about last place punishments. You really have to start small and work your way up. You need to do something that is borderline, not even embarrassing at all. Just to get the ball rolling. Just to get the like the juice is flowing. And then maybe by like year five, year seven, year 10. then you can start to do interesting stuff

because I'm even the same way. You know, even like to stay in a waffle house for 24 hours. If I did that, I'd be like, I'm not doing that. It's actually like a real show of leadership to just do it because once you do it the first year, it sets a precedent that like if no one ever does the punishment, it's impossible to enforce. But if people have done it and then you don't do it, that's like a different thing.

Like if you're the person who shows up and takes the SATs, then like the next year, you got it, you better take the fucking SATs. And if the last place finisher refuses to do the punishment, the commissioner needs to actually punish them in some way the next season, which I feel like most commissioners don't do because it starts, it gets weird within the friend group if you're just like withholding their first round pick because they didn't. Stanford experiment. Like people start just like being really abusive to each other.

Too much power. We get so many emails about people not doing punishments. And the short answer is like, I think the commissioner, you have to get everyone to agree to do it. But even that doesn't work. because if everyone sure,

in the sober light of day in August, everyone's always like, yeah, sure, I'll earn a yellow belt and karate if I get last place. But then, you know,

spring comes around and you're like, wait, how many classes is that? I'm not doing that. Yeah, I'm not going to do that. I'll quit the league.

I'm not doing that. I don't need to be friends with you guys anymore. All right, but yeah, and the I yuk thing, it's honestly an amazing story, but I think in short,

I think that the only reason he would go is, I think it's just gotten personal on both sides. And I think they probably should just, honestly, keep them. I think you keep him. Of course. What are we talking about here? He's like one of the best receivers in the league. And they have probably a two-year window to win the Super Bowl before they have to start

getting rid of people and people start getting older. If he actually, like, he's like, I'm not going to play. He's going to play the season. He'll play. All right. I will see. And again, just to restate, if IU gets traded Debo as a fantasy pick, I think he's top 20 guy.

Like, can't speak enough about Debo. in a world where you can't you know what i was thinking feel like the nineers should just trade debo to the Steelers the problem is no one wants him because Debo's contract he has like one more year right it's like 29 so it's a combo of like you'd have to you'd be pay like if the Steelers they're

probably you know giving a first rounder maybe the Steelers are trying to hold out for a second and I don't think they are sending a first rounder I think that's the thing and you're the Niners you're going to give them up for a first rounder it's like a third you're going to give up a second rounder next year like that's crazy like you could wait the whole season still get a second

rounder for Ayuk. But then if you're, the Niners, if you can't get a second rounder for Ayuk, you're not going to get a second, sorry, if you can't get a first for Ayuk, you're not going to get a second rounder for Debo, maybe. So teams haven't wanted him. And so it's just like, that's the conundra. They'd rather just flip Debo for first, but

like they can't even get a first for Iyke because A yuk is like killing contracts where, sorry, your earlier question, because this is an important point. Like, how can Ayuk do that without a no trade clause? Teams don't want to bring in an unhappy guy because look at his son Redick with the Jets. Yeah. They sent him there. And then he's like, I want a new deal.

That's what just happened with Matt Judah. I'm like the Patriots traded him with the Falcons. And now it's like the Falcons are going to have to deal with that. But it's a little dicey to trade for this guy. And then, well, all right, what if he doesn't show up? Now you want to get the deal done in tandem. So if he just says, I don't want to do the deal, then you're like, all right, well, we're not going to give up all this picks for him.

Imagine getting $32 million to play a sport. And you're like, nah, I don't like this team. This team's not good enough. I really, this is why I keep saying, I'm not sure the Niners will miss the playoffs, but I do think they implode by the end of the, the year. And I keep saying that because losing the Super Bowl, getting close enough to have a lead in the fourth quarter and beat an overtime of literally your lifelong dream and then getting taken away from the year breaks people. Like it breaks people's brains.

Look at the Eagles. Yeah. The Eagles, literally there's a story last week that I have a thing for it a bit, but about the Eagles and losing a Super Bowl. And someone said, what Dika identified as vibes chief, we were 10 and 1 and everyone was walking around like zombies because all anyone was thinking about was we lost the Super Bowl. Yeah. When they were 10 in one. On that note. Danny McBride and James Franco hating each other.

Like every time, like James Franco is just like, fuck that guy. All I think about is Nick Siriani and Jalen Hertz. Like Jaylen Hertz is James Franco and Nick Siriani is Danny McBride. And they're just standing there and they're just like fucking, I'll come anywhere I want in this house. You think that's the only thing I jerked off in here? I've been dropping loads around this fucking house like a goddamn dump truck. You don't cover my stuff.

I'll go where the fuck I want, James. I'll fucking come on your kitchen. I'll come on your fucking art. I'll come anywhere I want. I will fucking come right on you. I will come like a fucking madman all over you, McRide. Ooh, I fucking wish you'd come on me right now. I fucking dare you to come on me.

I'm going to judge my dick some fucking heart in here. I was the one who fucking made jizz in your magazine, James. I've never heard that phrase in my life. I made jizz. She's like, didn't you grow up with brothers doing it in a sock. I will come anywhere that I want. I love that whole seat.

I love that like James Franco is up really high. The angles of the shots are really funny. So good. It's just like they're just going off. And then meanwhile, Seth Rogan is just sitting there trying not to laugh the whole time. He's standing there like big dump. I've been dropping loads like a dump truck all over this place.

I wish you'd come on me. I wish you'd come on me. I will come anywhere that I want. I saw, I saw the outtakes or whatever for that scene. And every time McBride goes, oh, I wish you'd come on. He just like,

they just lose it for like an hour. I think they tried that scene for like an hour. Oh, come on your art. It's honestly. I have a particularly explosive ejaculate. He's going to grab it and hold on. This is good because ostensibly they were,

they were like best friends when they made Pineapple Express. And that's like, you know, when the Eagles were making their run to the Super Bowl, everything was great. Everything was great. everything was awesome. They were best friends. They're at the diner at the end of the movie.

You know, talking about how much they love each other, all the adventures they're having. But then, you know, real life happens the next year. All of a sudden, they kind of fucking hate this guy. And that's Siriani, I mean. Yeah. Yeah, Sirianni's definitely McBride. Yeah.

Yes. Yeah. And everyone just wants to kick him out of the house. But really, though, like the eagle. And that's the other weird thing about the Eagles is as much fun as I make of the Cowboys. It's weird that the Eagles are like this. consensus playoff team in the NFC. And yet question for you guys, when was the last time?

Never mind legitimate Super Bowl contenders. Just, when was the last time a legit franchise quarterback entered a season and you knew that him and the head coach kind of like this has been reported, struggle to even be in the same room alone together? Yeah, that's a good question. But can you even think of a scenario where before this season, we knew that the coach and quarterback kind of hated each other. Do you think towards the end of it of their run, Brady and Belichick had anything like that

or no? Yeah, I think Brady and Belichick's one, it's like, okay, at least they had made, but they won so many before that. Yeah, at least they had won six Super Bowls or whatever. You know what I mean? Like they had been to eight. And then you're like, all right, Aaron Rogers and Mike McCarthy. We found out stuff in the middle of the last season and all, you know. That's a good one.

Yeah. And I'm not talking about Jamarcus Russell where it's like a rookie with the coaches. I'm talking like franchise quarterback entering a season and the coaching quarterback apparently last year couldn't be in the same room alone. And Jalen Hertz, who's the master of the non-answered. He was asked, how do you? what have you noticed about Nick Siriani being open-minded to changing the offense? What does that say about him being open-minded? Jalen Hertz said,

um, I mean, that's a great question. I don't know, I don't know if I know the answer to that. God. Vives. Vives are bad.

Like, that's, do you think your coach is open-minded? I don't know. That's like how I would talk when I was nine years old and I'd just got in a huge fight with my older brother and my parents would try to reconcile us. And I'd be like, yeah,

I don't know. I have no thoughts on that. Dude, I can just picture James Franco like McBride walks away. Fuck that guy. You're turning me into a joke right now, Franco, and you will not like the punch line. That whole scene is incredible.

I actually had a different, like, a metaphor for that scene, especially the part where it was like, Franco's like, what fucking kind of jerking off is that? What? You never had any brothers? You didn't learn a jizz in a fucking sock or a tissue? And he goes, no, I don't have any brothers.

I was raised in a house of women. And Franco's like, I highly doubt they fucking taught you to close your eyes and fucking come wherever you want. I just kept thinking about Will Levis spraying passes all over the place. Just fucking coming all over the house. Like Will Levis just last year in his limited time starting. No one had a higher air yards per attempt than Will Levis.

He's just fucking spraying that thing. Just dropping loads like a dump truck all over the field. I just kept thinking like that like his personality kind of matches that too. He's just like really confident. Talks about how great his arm is and stuff. So I was thinking about Will Levis and just trusting Will Levis this year. How are we feeling about this? Because obviously, I like Levis as a sleeper because of his running ability at the quarterback

position, but also we're talking about Calvin Ridley, D'Anjay Hopkins, Tony Pollard, Toshae Spears. This whole offense kind of centered around this guy that we're not really sure is good and we're not really sure is going to, like, give the ball to the right players in fantasy. You know what I mean? Because he's always just chucking it deep all over the place. So what's the vibe check you got on Will Levis right now? I think Levis is one of the very few guys.

Like if you're in a Super Flex League, I think Levis is a great third quarterback. I think Levis is on that shortlist of guys that if they had a great week one, I would pick them up off waivers. I don't know if I want to use a roster spot on Levis entering the season as a backup quarterback in fantasy. But I do think that there's a little fantasy-wise,

there's upside there just because I think, I don't think he's like the fastest guy in the world, but I do think he runs a lot, runs rather recklessly. Dude, preseason game. He tried to truck a guy at the goal line. Yeah, I saw that. That was awesome.

Yeah, he's incredible. But, like, he is a Blue Mountain State character, but I think the Titans are interesting to me because, look, obviously the Titans can be bad. Like, I don't think that's a hot take. But I do look at the Titans as every year there's like a spoiler team that, that like ruins the narratives that we are kind of preset. And you look at the AFC South and it's like, you know,

everyone including us wants to anoint C.J. Stratt and the Texans. The Colts are a very popular pick to win that division because they were like, you know, one game away from winning that division. Anthony Richardson's back, Shane Stike, and played with Gardner, or coached well with Gardner Minchu. And then even the Jags, it's not hard to look at that team. It'd be like, well, the Jaggerals would be better this year. And it would be so interested to me if the Titans, Brian Callahan as the coach who was

able to get Jake Browning as the Bengals offensive coordinator last year, Brian Callahan made Jake Browning pretty serviceable. And then he also, now they add Calvin Ridley and DeAndre Hopkins. And then you have his dad who's like the best old line coach who's consistently turned lines around. If the Titans block better, Tony Pollard plays better off a broken leg. I'm like, I wouldn't be surprised of the Titans won the AFC South,

which would be so weird to think about Will Levis winning a division over Lawrence and C.J. Stroud. But like, for that reason, I feel like it's not even being considered. But I don't know. It's kind of his last shot, too, for the year. Like, this is his shot to be a quarterback. It does feel like the Titans have one of the widest

spectrums of possibilities this year. You could make really strong arguments in either direction. Like, Levis is kind of like the guy where you watch him in warmups, like in a high school basketball game, and he's like dunking. And you're like, wow, this guy's going to be amazing. And then you watch the game and he's actually pretty unskilled.

And he can dunk if he's alone. But in reality, he actually can't shoot or really play with the team. And I feel like Levis was the guy who Scott Hanson would be like, and we have an update coming from Tennessee. And you check in and it was like Levis hitting DeAndre Hopkins for a 65-yard bomb. But if you actually watched the whole game,

Levis took six sacks and looked quite bad. Yeah, yeah. he had like a horrible sack rate last year, one of the worst in the league. And the whole team in general feels a little bit duct taped together. It almost feels like a fantasy team. It's like, Calvin Ridley, it's been a while, but let's give that a shot. We'll overpay him. DeAndre Hopkins is 31 years old.

Tony Pollard? Yeah. Sure. Like, let's throw him in here. And I respect that they're giving him options and they're not just, you know, doing the Bryce Young where he has nobody to throw. So I think they're doing the best they can to put pieces around him to help him succeed. But I could

see the Titans being easily one of the worst teams in the league or being a frisky wildcard team. And I like the NBA, the Basque comparison of the high schooler who's like donkey and warm-ups but that he can't shoot because it's like how Will Levis is ripped and he's doing the mayonnaise commercial and he's just got abs and I'm like, but why are you built like that? Like no good quarterback has ever been ripped.

But yeah, it's to, you know, to D.K. to what you said, you know, it's, Will Levis just out here, you know, when I jerk off long enough, I miss JIS. I assume the same thing happens to you. I was the one who made jizz in your magazine, James. Speaking of Brian Callahan, I got one. I got one for the Bengals.

All of these natural segways, I love it. There's a scene at the beginning where, you know, and I think this is funny because it's also, it mirrors like real life for these guys. Like Jay Baruchel, I guess, didn't really like the L.A. scene. He was always going back to Canada or whatever and living there. There's a scene where he goes out by the pool and he's talking to Emma Watson and Craig Robinson. And he's like, he's like, yeah, I don't really like L.A., blah, blah. It's not really my thing. And he's like, I bet you're, you're kind of like a, or Emma Watson was like, you're kind of a hipster, huh?

He's like, yeah, you're a hipster. And Craig Robinson goes, you like, you like force scump and Jay's like, no, no, it's a horrendous piece of shit. No, no, it's a horrendous piece of shit. I love how he says that. You hate things that are universally below. This is like, Hyphitz, who hates quarterbacks who are universally loved. He's like, hey, Hyphins, do you like Joe Burrow? No, no, he's a horrendous piece of shit.

So, like, this is Hyphitz. that just reminded me so much of Hyphitz is like going against the crowd here this season, going against Joe Burrow. Everyone loves Joe Burrow. He's so talented. Such a heartwarming character in the NFL. And Hyfitz is like, no, no, he's a rightest piece of shit. We really should do like the Jay Barrashell rankings, the Hickster rankings. Because Burrow not being the top 10 quarterback would definitely be a hipster ranking. Yeah. Well, look, remember when Trump was like, I like soldiers who weren't captured. I like quarterbacks who can throw three days in a row.

Nice. Nice. But I actually almost had this too. What else did he say that you liked? Yeah, no, it's yeah, exactly. You know, that's just, that's just how it is. But the, no, the Trump, the other one, not Trump, the other, this is the end one. I actually had the same one because I was like, this is like how I hate everything that D. Like, you know what I like?

Every time my guys catch a ball, they get a point. And I'm like, fuck that. Bullshit. Yeah, I kind of killed. You like PPR? No, it's a horrendous piece of shit. Life is like a box of chocolates He's like, no, yeah, I'm familiar with the movie.

Familiar. Hyfitz, I actually had a note on this of you hating PPR also, which is funny that you bring that up because at the very beginning when they're talking about gluten, Seth Ruggins like calories, that's a gluten. Fat, that's a gluten. And just like hate, like he's just complaining about everything. This is Hyphids to me, like complaining about everything that counts in PPR.

Screen pass. Oh, that's a gluten. Oh, swing pass for zero yards. Oh, that's a gluten. Zero yards is a third and one. Doesn't he say like, I don't think anyone actually knows what gluten is? You just, someone just told you once. You never know what gluten is?

Someone just told you one time that you shouldn't eat gluten. You know, you're supposed to take six shits a day? No, that's not true. No, they thought that was true. But that was, yeah. That actually, that scene reminded me of Cooper Cup and Pooka Nakua, like Cooper Cup trading Pooka to Kua, who doesn't eat vegetables going hardcore with Cooper Cup every morning at 7 in the morning.

Cooper Cups like, we're going to cut out gluten. Puka's like, what's a gluten? It's like everything Pukiniko eats. You don't even know what gluten is. I know what fucking gluten is. No, you have no idea what- I do know what gluten is. Gluten's a vague term.

It's something that's used to categorize things that are bad. You know, calories. That's a gluten. Fat, that's a gluten. Somebody just told you you probably shouldn't eat gluten. You're like, oh, I guess I shouldn't eat gluten. Gluten eat bad shit, man, and I'm not eating it. Puka literally was like, yeah, I used to, like,

this is real. Pookikikul literally was, we used to just eat. it's cooking. He would just eat whatever was on the way to the Rams practice facility based of what Rowdy took in LA.

So he's like, yeah, some days it'd be jack in the box, but then also some days it was McDonald's. And I'm like, this guy literally had the most receiving yards ever for rookie.

Athlete diets will always confound to me. Jack in the box on the way to it. But yeah, do you think that's why his bursusack and his knee is not working now?

It's all the jack in the box. Yeah, it's filled with burger grease, probably. It's going to change the oil. That's a gluten. All right, before we keep going. With Fandul,

I do think there is another universally loved team in the NFL and in fantasy this year that I'm not so sure about. And it's the Atlanta Falcons.

And I kind of think the Atlanta Falcons are the demon and we're all possessed. I say unto thee, the power of Christ compels you. Oh, does it? Does it compel me? The power of Christ compels you. Does it, Jay?

The power of Christ compels you. Is the power of Christ compelling me? Is that what's happening? The power of Christ compels you. Guess what? It's not that compelling. And I think we might need to be exercised because this team is the most unproven

sexiest trio since like, I don't know, Charlie's Angels, Madam Webb, whatever you want to say. But we have, this team is Bijon Robinson going as the number two overall running back. fantasy. It has Drake London going as a borderline top 10 wide receiver and it has Kyle Pitts going as a top seven tie that. With a new coach, a new offensive

coordinator and a quarterback who's 36 years old coming off of torn Achilles. And it just made me think about like when is the last time a team has had a top 10 finisher at all three positions? It was the Niners last year. They were the only team to do it. The Niners who were the best offense in the league and they probably should have won the Super Bowl.

And now we're just all assuming that this team of new cobbled together pieces of old injured quarterbacks, a brand new coach, a brand new offensive coordinator who's never been an offensive coordinator before is just going to magically produce one of the best fantasy environments of all time. And so I have to say, the power of Christ compels you.

Craig's just like, oh, does it? Does it compel me? Oh, does it, Jay? Guess what? It's not very compelling, Jay. Does it, Jay? She's like, yeah, you are immature. The 20th is yelling at you.

You've changed. Everyone says it. Her cousins towards Achilles It's like you guys forgot But yeah, I do feel like The demon has infected all of us With this falcons hype We're asking for a lot

The power of Christ compels you I totally agree Because I keep thinking about how Briseol and Bichaud and Bichaudin Robinson I think I love that we have the one too I do keep constantly thinking about How the Jets and the Falcons Are at that unholy Trinity

With the charges of like The most cursed, injured, awful teams That like always get hyped that are bad Jets Falcons are right there And then they both have these quarterbacks who are old coming off Achilles injuries, which is like,

it's like borderlight unprecedented with what Rogers and Kirk cousins are trying to do. And we're assuming this will all work and it's a jets. It's like, yeah, the offensive line of like the two

mid-30s tackles protecting Rogers with the Achilles will be fine, even though Nate Hackett's the coordinator. And then in Atlanta, like exactly the same thing where it's like, I know I've said this before.

What's your favorite Drake London highlight? Oh my God, Craig's lights went out again. Man, it's an exorcism. The power of Christ compels you. Does it, does it? Gotta be honest.

Not that compelling. But again, your favorite Drake London NFL memory. Take him in the second fucking round at a 12 team league. I don't know, man. The listing prices for all these guys are astronomically high. I feel like you are drafting all of these guys that are absolute apex ceiling's best case scenario. You fucking just nailed it. Okay.

You just nailed it. When you go down, so our fantasy rankings, and this is a problem with all fantasy rankings right now. But like there's just this weird cutoff where it's this mix between. projections versus like what I've seen with my like faith there's certain faith this will happen and like the receiver position you just said listing price and all these things are like it's like the housing it's like how housing prices shot up and you're like all right there's good properties you'd pay for like all right garret wilson cd lamb tyrie kill amon ra all right these guys are awesome davante adams like cooper like these guys are great puk had a great season then you get to

deico collins you're like oh yeah he was amazing last year and then it's like drake london Chris Olavay, Michael Pip, and I'm like, whoa, weird, what do I have to pay for this? What, just because it's there? Marvin Harrison, Jr., yeah. Yeah, Marvin Harrison Jr., I'm like, you want me to, like, there's so much work

that still needs to be done in this house. You want me to pay what for this? Like, I'm never, like, I don't know. I think that's a good call because it, I can't stress enough how stupid you're going to fucking feel if Drake London is fine. Kirk Cousins tore his Achilles, nine, 10 months ago?

Just saying. Don't worry about it. And also, D.K. It's not like Drake London is a yards after the catch guy, right? It's kind of like he's big Keenan Allen. He's pretty good. He's pretty good at that, actually. But is he making people miss, really? He broke a lot of tackles.

I remember when he, uh, coming out in the draft, he, his yards after the catch per attempt or miss tackles force per attempt is like really good. It was really high. So I do think he has that in him. It's not necessarily like what he does best. Um, but I overall, I agree. I agree with Craig. Like we're projecting an incredible amount on this falcons.

that hasn't shown us anything yet. In fact, they were one of the most disappointing, like, offenses in the NFL full stop last year. So, um, I guess assuming,

making the logic jump that this new coordinator and new quarterback is going to like save everyone and make everybody worth top 10 pick. Uh, that's, that's a pretty big leap. Is it compelling? I know. I'm like,

I'm like yelling like, you're too overpriced. And then Falcons are we, are we, are we, are we too overpriced? Well, the other one I like with the Jonah Hill

exercise is I feel like that's the Steelers trying to make Russell Wilson play differently the middle of the field compels you does it does it does it does it I don't find it very compelling it's funny the Russ the Russ and Justin Fields thing in Pittsburgh I compared to Jonah Hill and Jay Barrishall's awkward friend of me relationship in this movie

yes a hundred percent Dear God I'd like to pray to you for a second Just me, Jonah Hill, from Moneyball. I hate Jay so, so fucking much. I think he might be the worst person you ever created. I don't want to judge you, but what's up? What were you thinking that day?

I love Seth. I love being his friend. He's an awesome guy. But it's like Jay is the last connection to his shitty, weird Canadian life. Just do me one favor, God. Just kill Jay. That'd be so tight. He's like, God, it's me.

God, it's me, Russell Wilson, from the Super Bowl. From the subway commercials. Russell Wilson's just like, hey, what's up, Justin? Wheat is tight, man. Weed is tight, dude. You references. They're out of control. Everybody does that.

Like, how could you hate Russell? First of all, the Jonah Hill, hey God, it's me, Jonah Hill for Moneyball. He's like quietly maybe the best line in the whole movie. And then to the Justin Fields. And it's like, how could you hate Jonah Hill? He's like the nicest guy ever. How could you hate Russell Wilson?

He's like the nicest guy ever. And then he's like, in bed. And he's like, God. Please kill you. If you could do that, it'd be tight. Your references are out of control. Everyone knows that. I just feel like that is how they interact.

Friends with everybody, they all love him and Russ is just super awkward and weird to him and trying to relate to him. I'm like half kidding. But also, wait, first, for this movie, the way they made it, isn't this as the end? there's a lot of stuff where actually a lot of the dynamics of the friendships and how they were pulling apart were actually really real, like almost too real sometimes. Like they actually were a friend group pulling apart and then they made a whole movie about it. And I, I don't know, sometimes I think with football, we forget, like, this is still a game played among people where they're putting, you know, a lot of guys really like, you know, they're putting their lives on the line to play. And it sucks when you kind of hate the people you're there with. And when that Russell, like, Russell was to go to the Broncos, they were all like, yeah, we're about this guy. We're about this guy. and when he fell out of favor, like, if he doesn't play well, all they're going to be thinking about

is how he's like Jonah Hill. They're like, yeah, this guy is just fully, like there's no authentic leadership. And I really do think anything that goes wrong with the Steelers, all the players are going to be talking about

is how like, yeah, wow. Are you saying that the coaches need to put ecstasy in everybody's Gatorade? Yeah, the whole season. The Gangdom style song.

I forgot about that scene. Oh, God, it's so good. The whole movie. I'd forgotten about some key. key moments in that movie that are so fucking funny. It's amazing. I do actually think at some point I think Justin Fields

it's weird because I don't think Justin Fields will satisfy Arthur Smith as a coach. But I think that Justin feels, what about as a man? Satisfy him. Satisfy him. I do think feels probably will already went over the locker room. The one other thing with Jonah Hill, though, that first scene where he's with Jay and he's like trying so hard to impress Jay. And he's like, oh, which Craig was saying,

Oh my God, dude, your references are out of control. Sick, what are you guys been doing? Oh, we just hung out all day. I ate a bunch of dirty burgers and smoked about a fucking pound of weed and played a bunch of video games. Wheat is tight. Weed is tight. That's awesome.

It's like the golfing sequence of Navy SEALs. Sick reference though, bro. Oh, thanks, bud. Your references are out of control. Everyone knows that. Doesn't it remind you of the way Pat McAfee talks to Aaron Rogers? Wow. Like, every time Aaron Rogers was like, yeah, I was just like in the,

Pyramids of Giza. They were telling me how aliens built them. And McAfee's like, dude, your references are out of control. You go on the craziest adventures, man.

You're so cultured. You're so open-minded. You're asking the right questions. D.K. staying away from that one? Okay. Just pull up a picture of his dog. Weed is tight.

Aja. Weed is tight. Aja, the incontinent Spaniel, who doesn't know how to bark, just made me think of Daniel Jones. Oh. She just kind of goes like,

ah! Oh, yeah. She can't show. No vocal cords. We're teaching you. Shubs her face up against the glass. Oh, my God. Daniel Jokes.

He doesn't know how to throw. We're just teaching him. Oh, my God. Anyway, D.K. got another one. This is like a really small scene and like a throwaway live. I thought it was hilarious. It was Jay and Seth are talking after some crazy shit had just gone down. And Jay's like, remember that time I got you a Taco Bell gift certificate for like 20 bucks?

I bet that you couldn't eat it. all in one setting. And Seth's like, I do remember that. I remember thinking, how much food could $20 possibly buy you at Taco Bell? And the answer is infinite. Infinite food. This is like Devon A. Chan.

$20, he's probably going to be a little bit more than that in auction trash. But still. He could buy you infinite food. He could buy you infinite points. Also, he could make you shit your pants. There's no in between. There's no metal ground. Honestly, last year, he was both. He provided infinite food.

and then he made you shit your pants. Yeah. After when you went to watch Gladiator in the theater. That's perfect. He is Taco Bell. That's actually that we figured it out. Scared of the Tigers. How much is Taco Bell cost these days?

Because there was a moment where you could literally walk in with five bucks and leave with five items. What's the cheapest fast food place now that people go to to get as much food as possible? Well, McDonald's is like expensive now. Right. McDonald's and Burger King are rushing out a $5 menu because everyone's kind of like this isn't cheap anymore. I think it's still talking about. I know the Taco Bell.

I know the. Jack in the box tacos are really cheap. Isn't it two tacos for a dollar? Email to ringer fancy football at Gmail.com for like your late night food orders. Got to be taco about. When you're in college. I feel like shout out cookout, which is like a regional.

Oh yeah. Liz, Liz loved that when she was in college. Cookout is amazing. And yeah, also the place of this scene of the sketchiest show a moment of my entire life. But also at the same time, $4.99 and you'd get like,

you could get a burger, chicken nuggets, fries, and a milkshake for That sounds great. Did Cookout have Hush puppies? Yes, they did, I believe so. Hell yeah. Liz loved those. They had anything. It was like a whole shoutout, checkout, cookout. I really want to go. Oh, my God.

Emails at Ringer Fantasy Football at Gmail.com about whatever late night nostalgia. Hi, Vitch, do you, I feel like, are you hush puppy over tater tot? I know they're not the same thing, but they're kind of similar. One's corn and potato. Hush puppies done well are like a drug. Yeah. Fuck. I want one right now.

Hush puppies are crazy good. All right. The next quote here, do you guys remember the line? when Jay's like, I don't want to die at James Franco's house. That's how I feel about drafted guys on the Giants, Patriots, and Panthers. I'm just like, I don't want to die on the Panthers, okay? I don't want to die on the Giants. I'm starting to get worried because a lot of the fantasy sharps out there

are really in on Malik Neighbors and Jonathan Brooks. I would say those two guys are among the top five favorites of all of the, you know, the sharpest fantasy analysts out there. And I just, maybe a little bit of Remandre on the Patriots. although I think much less people are into the Patriots this year. But I personally am still unwilling to get there with Brooks and with neighbors. Brooks coming off the ACL and on the Panthers. I know the offensive line's supposed to be better.

I know they have a new coach. Things are supposed to be better. The Giants, I'm like, dude, you couldn't pay me. I don't care how good of a prospect leaked neighbors is. I know that some people think he's better than Marvin Harrison Jr. And that's totally fine. And he might get a ton of targets and the entire offense might run through him. I just, I'm not going to die on the Giants.

You know what I mean? I want a giant diet. Jake's break us out. I, dude, I think you're dead on with all this. Like, it's perfect. I, because, I mean, I don't need to explain how much the giants. I can't recommend enough, like, not watching the near giants and not investing in them. I just don't want to do any of that.

I just don't do it. I do think Marvin Harrison and neighbors, they're at the point where they're so expensive and so gassed up that you kind of need them to do something somewhat historical. Or at least approach the Pukukukukua record levels for them to be. worth taking at some point, which at some point, no matter how good you are, it's hard to count on that. I don't know. I mean, the only receiver as a rookie who I think we saw coming in the way they did was Jimar Chase. Like, I feel like otherwise, we haven't actually identified who the good rookie coming into the season is as good as these guys are. But to your point, the Jonathan Brooks thing, too, for Carolina. He's Texas running back. This is the guy Jerry Jones hyped up. And I'm like,

I don't know, he's a rookie who has to adjust to the NFL and recover from a torn ACL. And it's like, okay, well, it takes time to recover to a torn ACL. It takes reps to be good enough to play in Carolina. But then the whole purpose is Jonathan Brooks is a three down back. So you have to learn to hit NFL holes, but also you have to learn to pass protect for Bryce Young, who they're afraid is going to die if he gets hit. So if you, we need him to recover from the ACL, get good enough, get enough reps to play all three downs, have the Panthers decide it's worth playing him three downs and the Panthers offense to be good enough where that's still valuable.

And I'm like, also, if you don't have an injury reserve spot, you're going to have to wait like two months for this. And I'm like, I know Chupa Hubbard just got hurt today, but I'm like, yeah, Deontay Johnson, the receiver they traded for right after we talked about being a little weirded out by him, he goes down and practice like he's fine. I'm like, if it's deal with the whole year of this? Like, yeah, it's, ugh. I'm not dying at Franco's house.

I'm just not, I just love Jay hating all of them so much. I'm not, I don't want to die at James Franco's house. In the moment, that seems like a pretty cool thing to do. In 2013, I would have died at James Franco's house. Probably not now. Craig, who you try to make a life with? Remember how later in the movie they go to the next story of Airways house Craig Robinson?

He's like, we could build a life together here. Who are you building a life together with? Craig instead. Among the people in the movie, among the guys? No, no, no, just like fantasy relevant. Oh, I want to build a light with. You're like all the teams are about 500. All the teams with good quarterbacks.

I thought you were talking about which actors or from the movie would I want to build a life with? I'm willing to have that conversation. Craig Robinson seems lovely. He does. Two Craigs. And you could Danny McBride, you could Craig Danny Craig instead of Danny Craig, Craig, Danny.

Wow. That'd be a great pod. When I'm 40, hopefully I'm doing a pod with Craig Robinson and Danny McBride. That'd be sick. I got a little one. This was just like, again, a throwaway line that didn't really amount too much. But there's a scene where Jay is talking to Craig about how to get into heaven. And you got Danny McBride kind of like in the background just listening in.

at the end of the scene, he goes, I hear everything. My immediate reaction was to think of J.K. Davins, just searching his name on Twitter for anyone saying anything bad about his injury situation. Remember a couple of years ago? When he was coming back, everyone's like, I don't know. It doesn't seem like he's going to be ready for the season. And he's just like quote tweeting and responding to all these people. I think he actually responded directly to Adam Levitton about it.

And anyways, Jake Dobbins, I hear everything. Be careful what you say about Jackie Dalvin's on the internet because he will find you. I have one more quote. That's not even really a quote. It's more of an award. Maybe we make this a part of the Sunday Night Show when we give out awards. But I think the Channing Tatum Gimp Award for the guy you never expected to see at the end of the movie. And I think it should be the Channing Tatum Gimp Award for the player you never expected to see at the end of the season.

Ooh, I like that. And it's like, it's like how if you were to look at last year's stats before the season began, if you had a crystal ball and you could look into the future and you just see that, Kyron Williams is like the number two running back in the league. And you're like, what? That Chating Tatum, Kyron Williams is in the Gip suit? Yeah. I don't know if it's like the handcuff award.

Also, Gimp Handcuff. Maybe that works out. But, yeah, I want to, I've been thinking about, you know, I got drafts coming up. I'm thinking about which, like, handcuff guys I want at the end of my draft. than the last few rounds. And I'm thinking about dudes, you know, Jaliel McLaughlin, do I want Rico Dowdell,

Jalen Wright on Miami's exciting. Damien Pierce. I still think there's something there if Joe Mixen were to get hurt. So anyway, I think that the Channing Tatum Gimp Award is something for the player you didn't expect to see

at the end of the season is something that we should holster. I like that. And then each week we can also expect the player you didn't expect to see today. Yeah, yeah. The Gimp Award.

There's a throwaway line at the very beginning of the movie where he's where Seth Rogen is talking about how much She loves Channing Tatum. He's like, Channing Tatum was in this neighborhood. He's like,

you and Tanning Tatum. He's like, I love it. He's a handsome man. Email us at ringer fantasy football at gmail.com. If you have other ideas for awards, we should do on Sunday night. Like any kind of recap,

emails to ringer fantasy football at Gmail for the Sunday or even the Friday show, but Sunday in particular, there's any categories or awards you think we should hit emails. Do you guys know why it's called a gimp suit? No, do you know? I didn't until. Until you did the Pulp Fiction.

Yeah. Did you know? I don't even know if that's correct. It sounds stupid and like somebody may force that to work because, but I heard, I didn't hear it. On the podcast, they were wondering why Gimp was a word, what a Gimp suit was. So I Googled it live on the podcast. And apparently the word Gimp is an acronym for a guy in mask permanently, which feels like a little bit forced. I don't know if that sounds right, but I was just wondering what that phrase means and where it came from.

So if anybody knows, if that's correct, please, please email us. Guy in mask permanently? That's not real. That guy's in a mask permanently. What should we call him? Okay. I have to tell you guys a story, but a gimp suit.

Okay. This was not planned. Do you remember five or six years ago? Was it, were we sponsored by Fireball or was that the NFL show? I don't think we were. So maybe the NFL show. I was sent a bunch of Fireball to my, to where I was living at the time in LA.

And they also sent all this weird, you know, companies have like all this merch they send sometimes. And they sent a, fireball onesy. And it was different than other onesies because it zipped up all the way to the hood. So it wasn't actually... All the way over your face.

Over your face. So I was like, this is a fucking gimp suit. This is a fireball gimp suit. It zips all the way up. And I thought it was so funny that Fireball did this that I was like, oh, I'll take a picture of me in this

because this is like ridiculous. So I zip up the hoodie all the way up. But it, you know, it wasn't... It was probably cheap, probably mass produced made in China and the zipper gets stuck. Oh no. So I can't get this thing off.

He's permanently in this fireball suit. And I am having trouble breathing. Guy in mask permanently. Guy in mask permanently. And I'm having trouble. I can't see my phone. And I'm just in this fucking thing tried to undo a zipper.

And I'm like, this is how I'm going to fucking die. I'm going to die in a fireball gimp suit that I got for a podcast ad reads. That'd be tough. Tough look. I don't want to die in a gimp suit. Yeah.

20 minutes. Anyway. So how'd you get, did you get the zipper or did you just cut it open with scissors? Didn't use scissors. I think I eventually, no, I think that my roommate at the time came home and took it off me. Wait, you were alone? I don't know if you said you were by yourself. I was alone the whole time.

That's hilarious. You were alone on the ground riving in your gimp suit like the Australian break dancer? I thought I was going to die. I was having trouble breathing. I was like, I'm going to die this way. Jesus. Couldn't see through it. Couldn't see my phone.

I was like. Guy in mask. permanently. Can you imagine if I died like in the Fireball onesie that they said? Yeah, that would be a tough call to your parents. That's where they're just going to have to be vague about how hyphets. Yeah. Don't let them know. I'm like, no, it was just for a podcast ad read. It was a bit, mom.

Autoerotic, uh, asphyxiation, maybe. That would sound better probably than that will honestly sound better. Like people would be like, oh, okay, I get it. Oh, all right. Yeah, don't king shame. All right. So maybe the best part of the home movie is Danny McBride waking up and like entering, like entering the house. I love the like butterfly thing that he does

over the food. The best. Also him, him walking out and doing like his little finger guns on his crotch. He's very Kenny Powers-esque. Yeah. Yeah. Washing his feet with the water. Dude, he has really

really impressive toe dexterity. Yeah. He can really wiggle those things individually. And then they eat all the food and they all get pissed them. And I feel like this is DeFont. walking into the Houston, Texas. Oh, no. Like, Diggs, honestly, Diggs has the Kenny Powers energy.

Stefan Diggs has the Jimmy Butler energy where, look, Kenny, like, Danny McBride energy, you're like, this is the best character in the movie. Diggs energy, like, wow, this is like the best guy on the team. But I'm a little worried about what this is going to do to the household dynamic in Houston. Like, don't give him the gut, the, the, the blanks gun. He just immediately shoots everybody with it. And they're like, dude, you dick. It's like, don't put this on me.

You just try to murder all of us. Yeah, no, it's like, Nico Collins got paid. Tank Dell's two or three years away from getting paid. Diggs is in a contract year. And this is his last chance. Like, if he plays poorly, he could be out of the league soon. And if he plays great, it could get of like $90 million. And so, I don't know.

But it reminds, like, it sounds great on paper, but I want to see it the dynamic in action when there's a target. Because we joke all the time about how there was a point last season where he was, like, complaining about not getting targets when he led the league in targets. And it reminded me of James Francoe, talking about McBride. And he's like, this motherfucker's gained weight since he got here. I could definitely see Stefan Diggs pouring a jug of water on his face on a hot day at practice

so nobody else can have any. Yes. That's great. That's all. God, when McBride is like holding court in the morning and he's sitting down and everyone's standing around him, and he's like, oh, I know you guys tripped acid last night, huh? That seems great.

Dude, and he's just like, oh, yeah, Jonah. You look awful. Seth, you're disgusting. Oh, Jay. Oh, hey, Jay. Good to see you. I didn't know you're in town. I didn't know you're in town.

Great to see you. It's unbelievable. There was a lot of fatalities. He talks about Michael Sarah. Well, Michael Sarah's guy. At least it's not all bad. Also, while we're talking about the gun, I also wanted to say,

I feel like the gun is the Dallas Cowboys. Like James Franco, like the Cowboys just wave this gun around all regular season and then they get to the playoffs. Like, fuck, it was blanks. Yeah, it doesn't work. Just every year. You guys remember Mindy Kaling's line

when she's talking about wanting to hook up with Michael Sarah? Oh my God. If I don't fuck Michael Sarah tonight, I'm going to blow my brains out. What? Fucking pale, 110 pounds, hairless, probably has a huge cock, coked out of his mind. Pale, 110 pounds, probably a huge cough, I coped out of his mind.

If I don't fuck Ladd McCoggy, this season, I'm going to kill my son. All right, we can get out of here. Thank you, D.K., thank you, Craig. Thank you, Kai, for producing this episode.

Just things you want us recap against Sundays. Any ideas? Email. also ring your fancy football at gmail.com. Thank you, Lord. Lord. Thank you, back to you, backstreet, boys. Everybody. Also, none of their lyrics make sense

because they're often written by this famous Swedish producer, so like the translation doesn't exactly work, but they still would sing the songs anyway, the way that they were translated. Like, I want it that way makes no sense if you read the lyrics. I love the lyrics that I want it that way are incredible.

The chorus is, I never want to hear you say, I want it that way. What does that mean? Tell me why ain't nothing but a heartache. Tell me why it ain't nothing but a mistake. Tell me why I never want to hear you say I want it that way. Just gibberish.

I just love the way this movie ends. The heaven thing. It's my favorite ending to any movie. It's perfect. We all recognize the dance. We all know that specific dance, right? Like, I wouldn't be able to do it, but I recognize all, like, the movements and stuff.

And I just think that's so funny. It's like an iconic dance. And then they got, like, Jay and Seth doing the dance. So perfect. Are there people on segways in that shot through? That's his wish. He's like, you get anything you want. He's like, I've always wanted a segue.

That's one of the most 2013 things about that movie is the segway. Yes. That was peak hoverboard in college. We had a hoverboard in our house. Remember those? They were segways without the handles. I'm so glad you brought this up. What the fuck is with those?

I feel like I missed the meeting where they explained how those things work. But I see them in D.C. people just ride them. and I don't understand the physics of them. Still? I've seen them, I've seen them too around. How do those work? People fly on those things.

Yo, I was low-key nasty on those in college. It's all about weight distribution. Leaning forward, propels you forward, leaning back, applies to brakes. But is it like internal gyroscopes? I don't know. That's what you care about? I don't know.

Internal gyroscopes? All right. Backshut's back. Goodbye, everyone. Must be 21 plus and present in select states for Kansas and affiliation with Kansas Star Casino or 18 plus and present in D.C. Gambling problem.
