Tom said, you picked it because when I put you on the spot was on TNT at that moment, is that why you picked it, Brad? >> The movie was on TNT. >> Yeah, what is TNT? >> What AEW comes on if you can find that channel. >> Yeah, I don't even have cable. I picked Rogue Long cuz it's the greatest Star Wars movie ever made. And it's severely underrated and not a lot of people want to even know about it. >> Brad, I get a little bit, I don't usually get a hot burn, but >> I said it. >> I get a little bit of a hot burn on that stage. >> I said it. >> I said it. >> Hold on, Brad, when we get into this movie talk, we've been on point. Don't disappoint me. With statements like that, I'm getting worried. I know you're the youngest member on this group, but hold on. We're gonna go with the professor first, we're gonna take everybody take a deep breath. Cincoon by Thomas, we're gonna let you give you a review of Star Wars Rogue One, take it away. >> Well, first of all, just from his comments saying it was best whenever I'm dropping a point off of what my score is gonna be right there. But I thought it was good, but the cast I thought was really good because it was a lot of, I don't wanna say unknowns, but I mean, I don't think Diego Luna had been in much beforehand, but I thought the plot, I mean, it was predictable, you knew what was gonna happen because, I mean, if you follow all the other Star Wars, it was predictable. But I mean, I'm gonna give it a 6'9", because I gotta, it wasn't as good as- >> '69, I'll allow it. But I'll be honest, I was watching, first time I watched it, I was on a plane coming home from Disney. So this might have ruined the movie for me a little, but I had this little punk-ass kid sitting behind me just wouldn't shut up and kept kicking the seat. So I was already getting aggravated before I even started watching the movie, but my biggest take was, I mean, I knew it was gonna happen, it was predictable, it's like the spoilers. So I mean, that was my take, and Andy's furrows again. >> Oh, Jesus. >> I can see you guys, I can hear everything, don't worry about it. >> Oh, he's back. >> He extended, he sent me a new tower this week and I set that thing up and it's bad, a bandwidth is terrible on it. So we'll just deal with it. >> Okay, Netflix, whatever you say. >> Go ahead, Brad. >> Oh, is it my turn to rate this movie? >> Yeah. >> How much time do we have, fellas, to talk about Rogue One? >> Let's go. >> So first of all, Tom, you said relatively unknown cast, yes, you are correct. This was when Disney first bought the Star Wars franchise. We got The Force Awakens, then we got a large catalog of movies that they were gonna make, and Kathleen Kennedy and Disney went and got woke and lost their ever-loving fucking minds and they started cramping and they sucked. They all sucked. Disney and Star Wars haven't made anything good except The Force Awakens, which was just a repeat of a new hope, and then Rogue One, a Star Wars story. This movie was incredible. The director, Gareth Edwards, hasn't done shit before, or since he made this movie, by the way. So this movie was so good, it was released with zero fanfare, zero marketing, zero toys, zero merch. The only hint we got of this movie was like a, it was like a still photo of like some soldiers sitting on the beach and everybody thought it was like a World War II movie. It was released at a comic con and that spread across the internet, but we didn't get anything of this movie. All we knew was they were stealing the Death Star plans, but we all know how that happened because we've all seen the original trilogy. We all know that they died stealing it. So we already knew the plot, right? So Disney was like, "Hey, fuck it. People aren't gonna go see this movie. Let's just throw this out here. We'll get Diego Luna, I forget her name, the place, Jen Urso, Cricket Eye Force Whitaker. We just throw these dudes out here and we just gonna put a movie out. They wound up being Star Wars gold. And this is why if you're deep into the lore for normies, it's just a movie, man. If you're a normie and you don't know the backstory, you never read the books. If you didn't watch Clone Wars or Rebels, if you didn't watch the prequels and die hard, like dissected the prequels and bitched about them until you hated them, until you loved them. And then watch the original trilogy back again. At least a hundred times, then when you went to watch this movie, you don't get it, right? You're a normie. You don't fucking get it. If you're a Star Wars fan, this movie gave us all the nostalgia of a new hope. It connected the prequels to the original trilogy. We were missing that. We didn't have that shit. This movie connected Revenge of the Sith to a new hope. All right? There's a large gap in time frame, but it connected them. Did you guys watch the Clone Wars cartoon? If you did, then you know that this movie connected Clone Wars to the Star Wars Cinematic Universe named Saw Guerrero. He was in the Clone Wars. He was in the Rebels cartoon. Did you guys watch the Rebels cartoon? No. No. Then you're missing out on like 60% of the fucking movie. This movie had so many Easter eggs from the Rebels cartoon, and it connected, so it connected the prequels, Clone Wars, Rebels cartoon, and it tons of Easter eggs and lore into this movie with relative unknown people, and it wound up being a masterpiece of a movie. It wound up being like a World War II band of brothers by resistance versus the Nazis-type shit was going down in this movie. So many different storylines, K2SO, the most lovable, droid in the entire franchise. And look, you got to think this was before Mandalorian and all these other shows were coming out. All we had was this, and what came after this was the last Jedi, which fucking sucked. All right? So the movie as a whole, absolutely incredible. Saw Guerrero, such a dynamic character, was he a good guy? Was he a bad guy? Was he a terrorist? We don't know. He was so wiped out in the end that he died doing, I guess, what he loved. I give this movie a solid 10. Do I got to bring up the Vader fucking lightsaber scene at the end? The most epic lightsaber battle we've ever gotten, and they've tried to repeat it. This lightsaber scene was so incredible where he's just merkin rebel soldiers left and right. They tried to recreate it with Luke Skywalker and the Mandalorian, then when they brought back the Clone Wars from one final season on Disney, plus they did it with Darth Maul, he had a hallway scene. Hallway scene, epic, go down in history. This movie was absolutely incredible. I give it a 10. I give it a 20, if I could. That's Star Wars movie, in my opinion, look, and I love Empire Strikes Back. That would be my top film. This movie, just a notch above. And because this movie was so incredible, we got Andor the series. Have you guys watched Andor the series? No. Oh my God. We can't even have a comment. I can't even talk to you then. That show, look, blows Boba Fett, Obi-Wan, Mandalorian, and so go out the water. It's hot garbage compared to Andor. Andor is in in Rogue One together, like, that's the way Star Wars needs to go. This woke bullshit agenda pushing bullshit. They keep trying to shove down our throats. Stop of the bullshit. Take Rogue One and Andor. That needs to be the new Star Wars universe right there. And like season one of Mandalorian, fuck all that other shit. Don't watch it. Brad, so what's the same as your like movie, bro? It is hands not only is it my favorite Star Wars movie is one of my favorite movies of all time. I love that movie. It's incredible. I'll die on that. I will fucking die on that. Bradford, I don't know who I can kick this to to kind of bring you back off of that. But no, I shouldn't wait. Last. We can talk about so much stuff. I mean, being with a group of guys that probably in 1977 all saw that movie in the theater, unless you were like on another planet, I was in my daddy's nut sack. I was four years old. So yeah, no, I wasn't going to the movies. But then just that whole Star Wars lore for our age group was huge. And I think that those is that George Lucas lacks in the, you know, keeping the trilogy going with, you know, stupid animated series like droids and things like that. And there's such a big gap in between, in the timeline, it's just, it's tough to look back on that stuff and not pick it all apart, you know, for different reasons, maybe being a little fickle or whatever, but I think I like about this movie. To add to, I'm not going to rate it as high as Brad, but it is my favorite standalone Star Wars movie out of all of them. I even like it better than the prequels and the newer movies as far as out of the original trilogy, I probably wouldn't rate it as high. But I did like how, you know, pushing, they CGI the, the character in there of grandma talking, right? Okay. I liked how they added layer at the end. That was weird. In the theater, I thought that was really good. It's pretty much seamless right into the start of a new hope. So great stuff. Does it still, for me, does it still hold up if you watch it? Yeah. Does it still, is it quotable? Not really. What is the story? Pretty kickass. Yeah. I knew what the story was, but it gave classic Star Wars fans something that, you know, they always kind of wanted with maybe what the trilogies you thought you were going to get where you really didn't get the prequels. So my score on it, just rewatching it and watching it is 8-1 for me. I base that with future considerations on some of the other movies if they come up in rotation. So 8-1 favorite standalone Star Wars movie, Ed, you're on deck. So Ryan's going next, because if I'm on deck, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm up. Okay. Your baseball stuff, correct, man. You know, first and foremost, I have been seen it in a long time. I watched, I watched it again. I, it's, it's entertaining. You know, it flows nicely. It doesn't really slow down very much. The story is good. It's predictable. But overall, it's a good movie. You know, I mean, do I think, do I put it up there with the originals? No. Do I think it's the best movie of all time? No. And then I'm going to go and then to use one of Brad's favorite lines, first of all, Brad, they've been pushing agendas in these movies since Jedi, just in that type of thing, with characters and that type of thing, or I'm trying to make everybody like hold hands and sing kubai out. So there, there is that. And I, and I do, you know, and I do resemble the fact that I am a normal, you know, I'm not that deep into it, but I can appreciate the fact that man, they're great entertaining movies. I give it, I'll give it a seven. Rookie score. Go ahead. You got that down. Tom. You got the score. That's a ten, a seven, eight, yep. Well, I mean, what I really should have done was given it a four, bring that ten. That's why I figured out that's why I went with six nine, because you know, I had to make it a little more even. All right. So, you know, but does it stand a test of time? Of course it does. Yeah. A movie being quotable. That's all scale of what a good movie is. Oh, I mean, it does hold a lot of weight when you can kind of keep the fire burning with, with, you know, nostalgia of quote in the movie, like, you know, the whole movie was nostalgic. It was basically a reprint of the original trilogy, but in modern times, wasn't, we're not, we're not shitting on it. It's just not a ten, bro, how's it not a ten? There is a scene when they order the hammerhead Corvettes to ram the Star Destroyers and turn them so they will crash and break through that space shield. They stole those hammerhead Corvettes from Rebels to cartoon. Leah, Princess Leah, help steal those. I can't even talk to y'all right now. You know what, that's the Creed talking. Ryan, take it away. Save us. You're our only hope. Brad, I hate when you hold back on us and don't say what you really think. I'm like, I'm baffled. This is also my favorite Disney Star Wars movie. I can't, I can't, I can't remember the tents. I can't do that. Yeah, you can. Yes, you can. I believe in you. The best pop out of like a solid prequel is how seamless it is until what you already know. You've got to get that pop right because if you already know the part in the movie that you already know, they don't really need to tell you about, but they've got to kind of hint around to it just to keep the story flowing. I thought they did a great job with that. I think like the last hour of the movie is like fantastic. The battle scenes, the whole story, the vade apart in the hallways, fantastic. I'm coming in slightly lower than Brad, slightly lower 8.2. It's funny. I had, I was dialed in on 8.1 and you said it, so I'll bump it off one, but uh, no, it's in my top five Star Wars movies, well, it's like, it can't creep into the top three for me. So what we're going to do is we're going to, uh, check it to the fandom for next week's movie pick. We got to put them on a spot. That's why I saved them for last. What's our pick for next week? I'm going to go because now that we're now that they were pushing the tents, I'll go off Shawshank Redemption. Oh, Brad, have you seen that movie? Uh, many times. Okay. Stephen King book too. Isn't it? No, that was the green mile. I don't know. Shawshank was. Yeah. Isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. They were short stories. Yeah. Right? You know, I put out a few books there like skeleton key and stuff like that. Short stories. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, Stephen King was a woke. Yeah. He's from Eugene. Yeah. Brad, part of the word of the night is woke. Yeah. It's only been. I'm glad we're not drinking every time he says it because I'd be already on the floor. Yeah. Great movie. Also on TBS quite a lot there. Thomas. Yep. Probably catching this week, uh, probably in the afternoon with the old people watching TV. So yeah, Shawshank for next week, but, uh, staying on the Star Wars theme, Brad. Uh, real quick, what is your favorite Star Wars show so far show that they put out? Yep. Mandalorian or book bookable buffet, uh, Ahsoka, what's your favorite one? So bookable effect was fucking stupid. Ahsoka had like one good scene. Obi Wan had one good scene. Mandalorian had like one good season. My favorite TV show that they put out is an andor. It's fucking incredible. Okay. All right. Yeah. There you go. Yeah. Spoken. It's not a 10 though, is it? Uh, and or? Bro, it's good. It, I would, I would say of this, the Star Wars shows they put out, it's a 10 like there's no agenda pushing. It's just, it's a dark gritty show. That's it. All right. That's it. It's a good show. Homework for you. Watch the penguin. Definitely. Yup. Thomas, I got the final score was eight point zero four. That's too low eight point zero four. Okay. So solid eight, right? All the way around. We got to pump those numbers up old school, by the way. What's that? What do we do for old school? Uh, seven nine. See? But in the beginning, like I was saying before Brad came on, of course, we're gonna all pick, you know, movies that are kind of like minded at the beginning, but when it gets into those, you know, B level movies or whatever, that's, that's when you're going to see some, some arguing. And then you can't, you can't give, uh, you know, everything a 10 Brad Ricky school. I wish I had him in high school for a teacher or something. Man, I'd have been in the honor roll. Bro. I don't, I don't give tens out lightly. Rogue one is a 10 hands down. You got to get into the Lord, dude. Got to watch the cartoons and the shows and see it's all connected. When you saw chopper slide through the background and road one, did you not get excited? When they called person doula over the intercom, when they were getting ready to go attack, did you not get that so, so many Easter eggs, man? If you don't know the lore, you're not going to enjoy the movie. That's, that's all it is, man. We were trying to bang chicks while you were watching cartoons or older than you. I mean, I can't argue that I was. Acknowledged. So next week, Josh shank, the final score for Rogue one solid eight, uh, not bad. No, we had to knock it down a couple of pigs here, Brad. So, uh, yeah, Penguin for homework, uh, Shawshank for homework and, uh, Brad, before we move on to, uh, other stuff, you want to, uh, fill us in on any, uh, wrestling stuff, because you're a missed last week. Yeah, I know. I'm glad to be back. I had to go to the most awesome concert in my life. Had to go see Creed. Uh, it was incredible. If you haven't seen him, highly recommend it. Now, as far as wrestling, I just feel like we're kind of like in this, uh, this hold pattern until we get to either the road to WrestleMania and or Netflix, because it's not, hasn't been that exciting. I think the transition of raw going to two hours kind of sucks because they have so much talent that now they're plugging that talent in on SmackDown because now SmackDown is three hours. So they're like sprinkling in like the surprise appearances from raw to SmackDown. The bloodline story is getting, you know, really hot right now. They're catching a lot of heat. Um, we don't know. People are speculating is Brock Lesnar going to show up? Is he going to join this, uh, this match at, uh, Survivor Series? Um, I think Bronson Reed came out on SmackDown to be the fifth for the new OG. And I know Bronson Reed alluded in the past, like, why am I not a part of the bloodline story? He is actually from Samoa, like, you know, his big ass has actually lived it. Um, everyone else is just some old lineage living in America. Um, so I don't know. That's kind of weird. Him just joining the bloodline, like out of the blue, I was expecting another, uh, family member of the rocks to show up, you know, um, yeah, I don't know. And I jacks for God's sakes as part of the fucking bloodline, like she could have joined up. But, uh, we'll see, man, I think Monday night, we're going to see who the OG bloodline, uh, is going to get some people say Brock Lesnar, I say it's going to be Seth Rollins. Oh, hopefully after a Survivor Series, we can get Knuckles back on for a, for a Survivor Series, uh, podcast and, and get that going. So, um, the pilot, the end Brad, when, uh, when Roman rings was trying to call, uh, Paul Haynes. Yeah. And the phone didn't, it was disconnected. I don't know what they're right because Paul Haynes has been gone. I don't know what they're going with that. I don't, look, the heat that is on Vince McMahon and Brock Lesnar's name being in all. I don't see them bringing Brock Lesnar back, not in the middle. Not when this case has been moved to like an FBI federal investigation and, and Lesnar being one of the name subjects, he's not, they're not going to bring him back on TV. Um, I don't know. Maybe that means Paul Heyman is within sides, uh, seeing punk. I don't know. I don't know. I think they're going to try to force the, uh, Seth Rollins, Roman reconnection. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. He's already feuding with the other guy, they kind of asked him now that they bring him in. Now he's, now he's going to be forced in. It's kind of stupid. I don't like it. So they pre-taped this coming episode because of the upcoming holidays and that's, that's been leaked. I don't want to spoil it though. Don't spoil it. Don't like that. Don't be Eric Bischoff from WCW, but just don't be, don't be too excited. Okay. All right. So speaking of getting excited, I, I didn't have a chance to watch this, but, uh, let's talk out of the Mike Tyson fight. Oh, Jesus. And thoughts on the Mike Tyson fight saying that you didn't weigh in with the wrestling. One of the biggest money grabs you could possibly ever have. What a bunch of suckers we all are man, $60 million payout and then to have all that buffering. And then I don't know. It kind of seemed like there was a little bit of a fix in there because let's see Jake Paul through, but what 200, 200 and seven punches and landed like 90 something. And, uh, Tyson only threw like 97 and only landed like what 18 or 20 or something like that. I, I'm going to say well, well, well, then you toss in the old, uh, humiliation in, in there too. On top of it seems a little weird to me. And then, oh, and all the buffering that everybody was complaining about. Yeah, that too. Well, well, well, but, you know, I mean, I'm just glad that Tyson really didn't get embarrassed. Um, just because he is one of the greatest, um, as far as in our lifetime of boxing, because boxing kind of like went out, but he really was the one that, I mean, he had all those clues to the TVs, you know, back in the back in the late 80s and 90s, you know, punch out. And that too, that too, how many times in my basement do we play that in? Well, punch out, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's punch out. I'll punch the clown, right? Yeah. I knew that was coming, I was trying to set it up so you guys can, uh, just blank down. Uh, anyways, yeah, I, before we were on the air, I was talking about how I had seen some conspiracy theory how somebody had come across a, I don't know if it was Wikipedia or a Google thing where it had said four days before the fight that Jake Paul was going to win in like the 10th round or something like that and ended up being him in the ninth round. So, uh, you know, if there was any fixable stuff, I mean, you know, that the boxing world is no different from the wrestling world sometimes, uh, phantom thoughts on, uh, the fight. Yeah. It was pretty bad. I was, uh, I was falling into it when they were showing the mic training sessions and he's moving around pretty good and I would like, I was saying before we went on, you see him come out for the way and he gets out of like the car and he's kind of got him walking up a little walking, kind of walking up the ramp, dude's moving like he's Joe Biden. Like he's like, guy can't even take a step. I'm like, I'm like, yeah, that's gonna look good. Then as soon as he comes out to stop fighting, I'm like, this is gonna, but now I'm not sure did Jake take it easy on him? Just because how bad he was in there and he just didn't want to take him out or was it just like a, you know, a wink, wink, like a, I won't knock you out. You won't knock me out. We'll just go to the end and we'll all cash in this dough or I don't know. It was a fox, but I'll tell you what, that fight didn't start till so late. If you happen to like, you know, anybody else, they kind of like try to jump in around 11 see what's going on. There was a girl fight between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, it was one of the best blocks and matches that I've ever seen in my life while like, on here, we like to give the women's wrestling shit. This thing was straight toe to toe. One chick was fighting mad dirty. She's like head button to chick every time, every time they get close or I was hanging off. Like for like six rounds, dude, like she's just gushing. What a warrior. What a fight. They should have, they should have fucking just canceled the main event after those two came on. There was no beat in them, they stole the show. So you're saying it was like Ricky Steamboat and Randy Savage at WrestleMania three compared to it. It was like, it was like, uh, it was like Rogue one, it was a ten. It was like, it was like fantastic. Over here. Actually had me fired up just to have a wet fight after it was over. So what you're saying is you're really, really into woman's box in law? Yes, absolutely. Oh, fuck you guys. I'm glad I didn't get it because I'd be pissed to watch 16 minutes of shadow box. And from what I hear, that's about all it was. But, uh, Netflix got what they wanted that I read tonight that they're, they're estimated that 65 million, uh, people that got it legit and didn't not like, like the Phantom said, uh, didn't, didn't steal it, uh, the 65 million people actually legit had it. So, but I mean, what we expect it's Tyson, even when he was still boxing, he's, he lost the last two fights. So we kind of knew he wasn't what he was. And I'd like to remember him back when I used to bitch and moan when I'd pay $45 for a pay-per-view when the fight would last 10 seconds. I mean, so I can't complain too, too much, but I mean, I'm, I agree with Ryan from everything I've read online, the woman's fight was the fight of the night. And that's what I actually had a friend of mine from high school flew down there for the fight. And that's all they wanted to talk about online today was that woman's fight. They, they didn't want to even talk about the Tyson fight. I heard people wanted to talk about the ring cod girls, too, that were, uh, in the back of the, uh, uh, yeah, another good movie, wax on, wax off. Yeah. That's coming to, right? They were, they were a, they were in the crowd. I saw that. I saw that. Um, last but not least, we're just going to say them for last. Band club member number one of Creed Bradford, boss Ellis, no, look, I didn't get to watch it because, uh, when I tuned in, my Netflix just kept buffering at like 60%. And I was like, I, I got a, I got time for this bullshit, but who in their right mind thought this was not a fixed fight. Every Jake Paul fight has been fixed there. And it's like every time he fights somebody, some way past their prime boxer or he'll fight some UFC, somebody who's, you know, past their prime and UFC, but they're grappling or kickbox and you make them stand up box and they don't stand a chance because here's the thing Jake Paul can fight. He can box, but he fixes these fights because it's a fucking payday. The, the whole script got leaked before this match that said the longer Tyson went, like if he knocked Paul out in the first round, he got paid zilch, zero dollars, but if round around is on a sliding scale. So if he went the whole night, I think he was only supposed to go eight rounds, right? Yeah. So if you went all eight rounds, he was going to make the most money. So that's all it was. Yeah, we saw the fight, the training fights, right? Or the training for Tyson, he looked like he was going to rush, but he, they got in that ring. And then when you go watch this five, he was like, old man boxing. So I'm like, what happened here, did he go snort a line and then hop in and do his training videos? Because he was killing the dude, his foreign partners. So let's Jake Paul, man, we cannot think that Jake Paul is legitimately having a box in that. He's a great marketer. That's what he is. That's it, man. He is an athlete, just like Logan Paul, they're athletes and they market what they can do. They market their talents. And that's it, man. And if you think that's a real fight, man, fuck, I got some oceanfront property in Arizona, right? Well, I'll fucking sell you some, um, it's not a real fight. It's supposed to be like that. It's a money-making grab, but if that shit happened with the Tyson fight, what they're going to do, I think they're hosting a NFL game on Christmas, right? Netflix, what are they going to do with that? What are they going to do with wrestling? I mean, a lot of people fucking watch wrestling. There's the real fans and the closet fans. A lot of people are going to tune in. If I tune in on Monday night and I get the big buffering ring of death, I'm going to be pissed. You sure? I'm going to be mad. You're going to be like Creed, man? No. Creed doesn't get mad. Creed is a spiritual journey through music, buddy. That's the only thing that's going to call me down the audience rate wrote one of 10. I'm going to listen to Creed and wake the neighbors up. You guys did this. You did this. Oh boy. Thomas, I think it's time for some sports talk. So let's get some rolling with some shit hand-picked. All right. Let me see here. Grab my notes. Tom Sheedy Pics is brought to you by a Brock Street brewing company located at 244 Brock Street South in Whitby, Ontario. Everything is brewed in the house, including the hard iced teas, their beers, vodka sodas, and their hard-selters. So if you're in the Whitby area, go check them out and tell them the 1973 podcast sent you. All right. Well, this past week, I picked Tennessee over Georgia. Right now it's tied 17-17 at halftime. It's going to be a great game. Georgia's starting running backs out. He's not playing tonight. So hopefully my pick will come through, Tennessee will take it through. But the quarterback is just coming off a concussion. So hopefully he's okay and he can finish the game here. This coming week, not too many good games, I'm going to go with Indiana as I believe the fifth ranked team that playing gets number two Ohio State, Indiana hasn't played anyone all year. I know you can only play who's on your schedule. I think Ohio State rolls them this week. I think Indiana is good, but this is a separate class. I think Ohio State's only weaknesses the quarterback's brain because they would be undefeated if he wasn't stupid against Oregon. So that's my pick AC going with Ohio State. All right. So what we usually do is do to protest from Cree Nation. We cut the football picks down to five a week because somebody gets long winded and we're going to go with Tom's five picks after he says he was in first place. Hopefully it's me still. We haven't been in first place for like four weeks, brother. I got to go with Brad's method of just taking home teams because it's working for him. He went, is it because it's fixed might be. Brad went 10 and four this past week and everybody else in the pool went nine and five. So the standings right now, Brad is 106 and 46 and he's 103 and 49. Phantom is 102 and 50, Ed is 152. I'm 98 and 54 and Shaggy is 87 and 42. So this week, there's not, there's like three good games at week 12. The other two I kind of just, I mean, I think they're going to be good games and just against some crappy teams. So first game of the week, San Francisco 49ers against the Green Bay Packers in Green Bay, Andy. Well, I told you the Packers are going to Super Bowl and their home. So I'll take that. All righty. Phantom. I'll go Packers. All right. Ed. Go with the minus. Oh, OK. Brad. It's hard to go against Green Bay at home and especially with weather turning and whatnot. So I'll go Green Bay. I'm going to San Francisco. I think McCaffrey will be the difference in the game. Hmm. Great. Next game, I'm going to go Baltimore Ravens against the L.A. Chargers in L.A. Andy. Who's home? The Chargers. I'll take the Ravens. All righty. Phantom. I'm hoping the Ravens can take me higher. Oh, I need to catch up to Brad. Ed. Go with the Ravens, even though even though the Chargers are a good team. All righty. Mr. Creed, y'all are going to think I'm just picking the same team as Andy, but I was already going to say the Ravens. All righty. It's a clean sweep. I'm going with the Ravens, but I do wouldn't be surprised if the Chargers win this game. Baltimore plays to their competition, it seems, and their defense is a little hurting right now with their safety. Oh, yeah, their defense kind of sucks right now. Oh, maybe they just need to run the ball more. Yes. That is true. Third game, Philadelphia Eagles traveling to Los Angeles, playing the Rams, Andy. I'm going to take the Eagles because when they're with me, I'm free. All righty. Mr. Phantom. I'm going to take the Eagles as well. All righty. Ed. Even though grunge and whiskey's not walking out that door, I'm going to go with the Eagles. All righty. Mr. Creed, man, I can, you know, I hate saying this team and it's like it's my, it's my sacrifice. I just got to say it, man, it kills me, tears me up. I'm torn, but with arms wide open, I got to say the Eagles, they've been playing since the bye week. Their defense has been lights out. So Eagles fucking Eagles, man. Also that was the key references. Yeah, you stole my line. I was going to go with the eyes with the arms wide open line, but I gave three Creed songs and that I'm going to go with the Rams in this game. I think the offense will start. They played like crap last week. I think the offense will start going a little bit stronger and they've got a pretty good running game and a really good passing game of, I think, Nakua is, we'll have a big game in that. Yeah. Well, he doesn't throw a punch. Yes. Hmm. All right. Next game, the Arizona Cardinals traveling to Seattle, playing the Seahawks, Andy, the Eagles. All righty. Branko. Go cards. All righty. Ed. That's a pickum game. Arizona's been playing really well and Morgan's been playing really, really well this year, but I'm going with Seattle. All righty. Brad. I quit. It said you go either way, so I'm going to pick Arizona. All righty. I'm going with Seattle. I think they're due to win a couple of games here, DK Metcalf is coming back. Hmm. All right. Final game. Kind of a shitty game, but yeah, knowing the Patriots traveling to Miami, playing the Dolphins, Andy. Oh, a rematch of the snowball, 85 all over again. Let's go. All righty. Ryan. Go. One last breath and go. Miami Dolphins. All righty. Ed. I would go regrettably with the Patriots, just because they've been playing better. Miami is not the Bears. So I don't think they're going to wind up getting nine sacks this time, but with two of back, Miami is a much better team. Brad. Yeah. I mean, I hope the team can take to just a little bit higher because that dude is walking caution away from being done, but yeah, I'm going to pick Miami in this one. All righty. You know, what if the Patriots win? I'm going with the Patriots. Drake may is playing pretty good. In Drake, we trust. Yes. Doing pretty well. I'm just saying. All right. They see that's it. Well, I'm torn with what we're doing next. So Bradford, I hope you got some tin foil hat on for this week, because you missed Mr. Mr. Russ segment last week. So you got something? We got a little bit. Y'all going to like doing intro? We just got right to it. Thomas, let's do some tin foil hat for this mole fall. That can't show up every week anymore. All righty, Brad's tin foil hat conspiracy of the week. This week is brought to you by the book Loving Elliot, a fitting tribute to Undying Love written by our very own Andy Clark. It's available on Amazon.com. Elliot was the oldest special needs Jack Russell Terry when he passed away at the age of 21. Hey, Brad. Well, I was really hoping Scottie Tuhadi would show up since he fact checked me in the group chat. I'm talking about you got me to do some research like listen, dog, it's a conspiracy theory for a reason. There's zero research goes into this. I ain't got all the time in the world to go fact check this stuff. If I did, it wouldn't be no conspiracy theories because it'll all be proven wrong. But Brad, before you get into it, just for the record, allegedly, you said fact check, not that check, right? Fact check. All right. All right. Okay. Just check it. I'm out. I'm out. Um, so we look, the fascists have been voted out of office. It is no longer illegal to talk about election tampering because the real Patriots have been voted in. So we can talk about how I'm just playing a song meme that was like, I am for whatever, I'm a, I'm for whatever is against what you are for when it comes to politics. I'm like, that describes me perfectly. I'm not for against either one, two sides of the same coin, two wings of the same bird. Anyway, we can talk about this in 2016, Trump lost, no, Trump won, excuse me, Trump won. There was, um, I don't know the numbers. Hold on. Oh, I do have it on my phone, unless you get a step in. Okay. So there was like 65 million Democrat voters, the first time Trump ran, right? When he ran against Biden, a surplus of 15 to 20 million votes dropped for the Democrats. And then in 2024, it was back down to 65 million. So now everybody's like zooming in up to that Biden election, like where did those 20 million votes come from? Crazy. Right. Crazy. And then in the Wisconsin vote this year, we saw that same scale where if you look at the graph over time of ballots for each candidate, they kind of go in this linear motion like this. At 3 AM, Trump's goes up, the Democrats goes straight up, it passed him, and then it takes over. That's what happened to Wisconsin. It is clearly due to election tampering is a, it's when they just drop a whole sum of ballots for one candidate. That same bar graph design where they go up together and then the Democrats goes straight and then overtakes Trump, that is the same motion that the graph took in the 2020 election. It is the same symbol that those voting machines use as they're like brand symbol. So they're brand image. So really sketchy. And then on top of that, I'm going to throw this out there for Scottie too, Hottie, because I know we want to keep it fair and balanced. I think it's where the Elon Musk was able to devise an app on his own, a personal use app, not commercially available, and then he bragged about it to Joe Rogan who bragged about it on his podcast, he was able to determine their election results three hours before it was released. Come on, like that's a little weird. Am I right that he has that power and authority to get that information? Come on. I think either one of us, even if we have to know how to make an app, could make an app to do that, you know, that you got to be able to be getting some information from somewhere that's not readily available to the public. So a lot of weird shit with this election. But isn't though, really? And I'm not even going to start with the Trump Freemasonry 33 symbolism throughout this whole thing. I'm not even going to go there. We don't have the time. What I will say is that if you do play the stock market, we're not talking 401K, we're talking stocks, if you follow cryptocurrency over the last couple of years, I was going to save this for the shout out. But back when cryptocurrency kind of dropped around 2013, 2014, there was this company called Ripple that popped up. They're called tags, they're XRP. You could not give that stuff away. It was like six cents a share, 12 cents a share was they high. Buddy in mind, and I bought that at like 12 cents a share, that stuff, since they mentioned it the other day, is now over a dollar, it is unbelievable how all they have to do is just mention certain things like Dogecoin or XRP and it goes through the roof. So if you're a casual player of the stock market and you are dabbling in cryptocurrency, get on that before it goes through the roof because something that was 12 cents a couple of years ago, they're saying it could go up over hundreds of dollars. So get in on the ground floor, that's my advice, I'm throwing it out there during the conspiracy theory, because it's up to you to buy it, but you can get rich off of that stuff. And Bitcoin, the day after Trump got into office, it went from, I want to say, under $60 a coin to over $90 a coin. I mean, and if people bought that way back in the day, people became millionaires overnight with that spike. So keep an eye on that cryptocurrency. That's my advice during the sinful hat, whether you into it or not, that's something to keep an eye on. Bradford, anything else? Yeah, man. I mean, this whole election was just about as rigged as this Jake Paul Mike Tyson fight, man, like from the getting shot in the ear, like, was that real? I don't know, man, I mean, there's so many weird things that went down this year that I don't know if any person can look at it and not have just a mountain of questions, man. Like you cannot sit here and say this was a legit election where the president announces he was going to be the incumbent running for office and then gets forced out. And then somebody steps in that nobody could even vote for and everybody was okay with that. Like, that's weird to me. And so everything about this election, this will go down in history is one of the oddest, most strange elections of our lifetimes, man. And oh, fuck, man, I don't know what to say about it. I'm not political. I just look for all the nuances and the weird shit and the coincidences, man, that's what I'll look for. And man, watching the Simpsons again, yeah, absolutely. It's weird, man. Well, speaking of Simpson's conspiracy theory, one of the things that they have put on, you know, you'll blink if you missed it, type of thing. And I started a couple of times already, they said that the 2028 election would be the next one. The winner. Trump starter. Imagine that. And that happens. Mind blown, right? Yep. So Thomas want to add anything to the tin foil hat this week? I got nothing. I have non-political, but I'll just say they're all dirty. So that's why I stay out of politics. Seemberg, baby. Seemberg. Yeah, I always thought that it's so weird how they want everybody divided. You know, when you think in a perfect world, you want everybody on the same boat, on two different boats, you know, it's just a basic looking at it from, you know, thinking man's mind set, how you would want everything divided. I know it's easier to control like that. And, but if you generally were a good person, you would want everybody on the same team, right? You wouldn't want everybody, you know, you're over here and you're over here. It's just divide and conquer, right? That's the same. Right. It goes back to the John Lennon Imagine song. Yep. And also it's weird that everybody that was caught up on the ditty tapes came out and had to give these like four statements for Kamala Harris. And then it came out that Beyonce when she got up there and she was like crying and get this emotional speech about voting for Democrats got paid $10 million for a three minute speech. Yeah. And there's all kind of with people were all over the JLo thing too, right? Yeah. Anybody to stay away from Ditty, but she's up there trying to say how bad Trump is and all this other stuff. You can't tell me that they don't have any skins in that game if if Kamala Harris won, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah. And then the other thing that came out to this week, I don't know if you saw Brad was the, they were analyzing the phone calls from jail from Pete Ditty with some of the things where you hide the pizza boxes and all that for that. Yep. All crazy. Right. If you, if you think about it in a deep dive, what that could mean, different things just terrible stuff. It's a game all over again. Oh. And people still denying that shit, but it's just like, it was that, um, it escapes my mind right now. I mean, but that secret meeting place in, uh, is it California or Reno? Bohemian growth. Bohemian growth. Yeah. I'm like all these mugs, all these politicians, Trump, all of them, Obama, all of them. Guess where they go? Hang out. Right. Bohemian growth every year. You think they're not all connected under, under the table doing deals, hooking each other up with shit. Come on, man. It's Trump's time. That's all it is. Tell me why he loses the Biden, but anytime he runs against a female candidate, he's, he's two and oh, like, come on, man. Yeah. It makes you wonder, well, he mean growth is a playboy, like men's only club. That's why Hillary and Kamala Harris don't go to the Bohemian Grove. They're not allowed. It is men only. That's why it's a boy's club. They're never going to make it. Yep. Yeah, just so many ways for conspiracy theories to branch off of that one thing, Brad. It could, it could go on for quite a while and this is the kind of, the whole pizza thing is kind of, to me, out of all the conspiracy theories, that's the one that I do not want to be true, because if it is all that stuff that they're involved in, it's just, it's heartbreaking. You know, if you're, you're a parent or you have a soft spot for kids or whatever, allegedly, that stuff is just not, not in the playbook that I want to be a reality. I'd rather see the alien thing be true and the assassination, assassination things come out with JFK and all that other stuff. But, but that, if that's a real thing, I don't even have, you know, a response for any of that stuff. It's terrible. But hopefully, eventually, all that stuff will be put, you know, put the old ass kick into the woodshed for some of that stuff, hopefully. So for another time, I guess, right, for another time. So I guess we'll wrap up this week and, you know, it's usually we hit our our mark and bring it all in. I'll start with this week's shout out. So I was going to talk about that XLP thing, but I got that in. My shout out was, I was appalled at a hockey game this week. Just happened recently tonight, let me say today, we rushed to go from one rink to another gut there in time to start to play the other game, third period, the game's getting tight, and kids were losing by two goals, all of a sudden, and it's in a ladies game. Fight breaks out. I'm like, oh, this is interesting. Right up my alley. I love this stuff. Big melee coach calls all the girls. There's about three, four minutes left in the game enough to make make the push. They leave. They get off the ice and they're done. They left with with clock still running and everything. Just what my point being is, you've got to teach good values. You can't just pick up your ball and go home where you don't like the atmosphere that's going on. I had never seen that before in a game, and I'm kind of taken aback by that. So it's not so much of a shout out. It's more of a grind my gears, as Tom would say, it's just not a good look. You sports. I don't care if it's ladies, men. You've got to fight through it. If you don't like the playing field, you've got to finish the game. You've got to finish the game no matter what. So that's my two in two this week. So the team that left was the team that was winning or the team that was loose. Team that was losing. Oh, terrible. And it was the team that my kid was on. So I was like, you've got to be shit me. I rushed all the way here for this nonsense. But Ed, you're next. Well, I guess I'm going to piggyback on your shout out. First and foremost, why are they fighting in a game at that age? It does nothing. It serves no purpose. They're not going to pack each other at this point. So there's that. So I mean, the thing about it is, is that, well, where are the referees? I mean, how gunnish can it be? I mean, we're not talking-- we're talking about this. We're not talking about the childstown cheese or anything like that. It's just poor sportsmanship. I mean, I've seen-- I've been part of that a couple of times myself when I was coaching many, many moons ago. And I was not happy with what I had to be part of. And it's-- there's no part in sports for that. Sports is about teaching life lessons, kind of griting it out. And sometimes you're going to take your lumps. And a lot of times you learn a lot more from losing than you do from winning. So there's that whole piece, too. And you've got to finish the game. Unless there's a big catastrophe for you of somebody passing away on the field, or something like that, you've got to finish the game. Or somebody's severely injured. So that's my take on it. Brad Finn, what do you got this week? Well, you brought that up, man. I'm coaching-- or assistant coaching-- nine new soccer right now. And it's the same thing, dude. There's a difference in being competitive and pushing and shoving, being physical out there on the soccer field. And then we got this one boy today on the other team who was straight up talking shit and throwing elbows. And at one point, they were on our sideline getting ready for one of them a little throw. I don't know soccer. I don't watch soccer. I just volunteered because if I didn't, we wouldn't have a team. But we're about to throw it in. And this blonde hair, dude, went up to the smallest, most timid, shy boy on our team and was giving him the business, talking about, you better stop pushing me. I'm going to this and that. I was like, boy, I mean, I snapped him up quick. And he looked at me like he'd just seen a ghost. And you could tell he's not getting that shit at home, man. It's a little blonde hair, curly hair, little fuck, dude. I'm telling you, he was causing all kinds of mischief out on the soccer field. After the game, the boys came up to me and they're like, a coach. This was going down on the soccer field. And I'm like, shit, man. Like, I'm sorry y'all had to go through that. But we're not going to do that. You know what I mean? So I think on Thursday at our products, I'm going to have everybody sit down and take a knee and be like, because this is like the third game, this has happened. So I'm like, y'all aren't going to stoop to that level. They're going to spin on you, punch you, kick you, push you down. There's contact in soccer, but like, we're not going to start talking that shit. Because like, I'm trying to teach them to be good sports no matter what. Like, take the high road, man. So Bradford, have you watched Ted Lasso? No, I generally ignore everything that has to do with soccer. So no, you, you will like the concept of this. He's a college football coach that they hire him to go coach a soccer team. You can watch it. It's a very good series. But that was cool. I'll probably just go watch Rogue one again. Oh, we're right back to that. Thomas, save us again. Ah, let me see. I want to give a shout out to my godson, the phantoms oldest. I guess I'll call him a man child. He's been on a four week heater. We're in a pick and pull and then I fell pick and pull and he's been on like a four week heater and he's built himself a nice lead right now and he's showing up all the old timers in it. So I want to say good job, man. Keep it up. You still got a half a season left. I think he's stealing Brad's picks. Phantom, you're going to finish this podcast for us. All right. I think, you know, I'm going to shout out a special person, Scott Stapp. This man is unbelievable. A difference maker, he is bringing the passion out of people 20 years after. You got to love him for it. And, and he did a great halftime show for the Cowboys at one point this life. Have you guys done the, the Cree drinking game? You play the music, play the music video with ours wide open. Every time Scott Stapp goes like this, you take a shot. There's one scene he pulls himself up from the river and they both go like this. You'll be wasted by the, you'll be wasted by the end of the video. There's a lot of this going on. Should we finish it with when you are with me free? Let's go.
