I didn't like remake the beds.
I was like, fuck, so I want to go remake the bed And by the time that was like done.

I was sitting here going, man, I'm getting old like this, that and the third and then I got reminded by one individual that age ain't nothing but a number, bro.
Yeah, you know, we're going to talk about a little bit later.
But a certain somebody has decided, you know, he ain't done.
He ain't done back.
Speaker 1He ain't done.
Because I haven't thrown a pass in five years.
Speaker 2And I had four more children in that time, doesn't mean I can't get back out on the field.
Speaker 3Yeah, we're going to talk about eleven is what.
Speaker 1I have children.
He could have his own football team.
Speaker 3He literally has an offense or a defense at this must be an offense because I guess his son is a five star QB one.
Speaker 1That's like going to a D one school or something next year or something like that.
Wow.
Speaker 2Yeah, amazing.
The legacies continue, man, Oudam eleven.
You about to have one athlete for Fox's sakes right there.
But let's get into things here man.
Of course, as some of you know who've been following my channel, I'm sir Winston's comment on as well.
Speaker 1This week has just been insane the last few days.
Speaker 2Ever since Netflix won the bidding for Warner Brothers there on Friday, it has been an absolute free for all of anger from the side of Paramount There led buff course by their seeother David Ellison with Daddy's money there, Ellison's Oracle money backing him up, and he has launched a hostile takeover bid now as he promised to do on Monday, he's launched it this morning.
It's one hundred and eight billion dollars is what it's estimated at, at thirty dollars a share.
Speaker 1He's bringing this to the shareholders.
Speaker 2He's bypassing the board to go to the shareholders because Zaslov is seen that David Aslov, she there with Ted Sorrandos, have been out maneuvered Ellison and out thought out of in this whole game.
And now it's about the pouting Olympics.
He sent letters to the Senate, to the Congress about all this.
He's coming in and try to appeal to the shareholders.
And even today Winston, we got more information that there were tech that David Zaslov ghosted Ellison when he tried to reach out to him and talk to him about and he complained about why would you release these text messages?
Who would you give the text like?
I don't understand it looks pathetic.
Look, what are your thoughts happening with me?
Speaker 3I mean I saw those text messages that I immediately went to the throwback of Maclamore be like, Yo, Kendrick bro, I don't know how I won the the you know, hip hop Album of the Year.
That would make no sense.
You're Kendrick.
I'm just Maclamore, man.
Like the heightst was dope, but like to was that to pip a Butterfly?
Speaker 1Was that good?
Speaker 3King mat City whatever it was?
Yeah, man, it was you, dog, It should have been you.
That's what this now.
These it just coming out of being like it would be my honor and my privilege to work with you as co partner's side by side into the sunset as we take on these epic eyepiece.
You should know that the Ellison name stands for honor, integrity, and honor, tegrity.
I just I just I man, I I can't like it.
Just it was so sad.
Yeah, to see that, and it felt like middle school that like we're just seeing leaked d ms.
I don't know if you've heard of the of the Facebook group, Uh are we dating the same guy?
And like a whole there's a whole bunch of ladies are in it and there they they will be like hey, hey, y'all.
Anybody know anything about about Jeffrey over here that will put up his like posts and things like that, be like.
Speaker 1I know Jeffrey he as so look at these texts.
Speaker 3Like you and they'll like kind of get the thing.
It feels kind of the same kind of high school last.
Speaker 1It's crazy man.
Let's let's let's take a little bus.
Speaker 2Yeah yeah, let's take a look at it, because it is just madness to see what these what these text.
Speaker 1Messages were where they are?
I think this is it?
Yeah, here we go?
Are we both on the screen?
You could?
Uh yeah, so uh this is what about the CEO?
Speaker 2David Aslov ghosted Paramounts David Ellison just hours before the news broke the Netflix with bind WB on December fourth, Following paramount let me make it a little bit bigger.
Following Paramounts submission of a bid to the WBD board, Ellison sent the following texts, Aslov, just try calling you about a new bid we have submitted.
I heard join all your concerns and believe we have addressed them in our new proposal.
Please give me a call back when you can discuss in detail.
At approximately four pm on December fourth, having heard nothing all day per paramount filing, Ellison sent another text, iss aslov David, I appreciate you underwater today, so I want to send you a quick text.
Speaker 1Please know when you next.
Speaker 2Meet as a board, we wanted offer you a package that addressed all the issues you discussed we discussed together.
Those were one we wanted to offer complete certainty, two strong cash value, three speed clothes.
Please note importantly, we did not include best and final on our bid.
Also, please not, despite the noise in the last twenty four hours, I have nothing but respect and admiration for you in the company.
Speaker 1As Winston was portraying, it would be.
Speaker 2The honor of a lifetime be a partner, to be the owner of these iconic assets.
If we have the privilege to work together, you will see that my Daddy and I are the people that you had dinner with.
Speaker 1We are always loyal and honorable to our partners.
Speaker 2And we hope we have the opportunity to prove that to you best.
Speaker 1David, did he have to say daddy your dad?
No?
He said father, my father, Okay, okay, And apparently.
Speaker 2He hosted Dellison could accord it tosave as hard as he could have with the span of three months.
He hosted Azlav at a dinner with his father at their family's home in Beverly Hills, then offered Zaslav a co CEO co chairman role, but the board in the unrejected Ellison's proposal, and that's why he's gone nuclear.
Speaker 1With this hostile bid.
Speaker 2So yeah, I was told by somebody that this is not high school when it comes to big business, But this this feels like high school slash middle school.
Speaker 1Like she's not add into you, man, to stop trying to ask her out.
That's what it feels like to me.
Speaker 3I mean, here, I'm gonna show you one of my favorite memes in the world.
It's a fuck boy future and essentially what it is, it's always future.
Whenever he sees something, he has to like text the X about it, like, hey, girl, I saw Paw Patrol Paw Patrol commercial this morning and it made me think a little man.
I hope you was able to get him everything you wanted.
You're an amazing mother, so I know you made it happen.
Merry Christmas to you and tell little man I said, Merry Christmas, or I know you probably hate my guts but happy Thanksgiving Moms made the peacock pie again, and it reminded me of how I went wrong with you.
So much stuff and not enough appreciation for the sweet person you are.
You don't have to respond, but I just wanted you to know that.
Or this one, you know, Instagram was down and reminded me of all the times you tried to refresh what we had, but I kept showing you the saying bs time after time.
I wish I could straighten our connection and see what's new on the pages of this book called us.
Speaker 1You don't have to reply, just share my real feelings.
Get it real.
Even if we not together, You'll forever be my close friend.
That's what that feels like.
Speaker 3Wow, this literally feels like Homie is just pulling a full on.
Speaker 1Just like future, just just like fuck boy kind.
Speaker 3Of meltdown here, and you know, the bad bitch that is ast Off has not followed for it.
Speaker 1He really isn't.
Speaker 2And and even Ted Serahos came out I think the yesterday or this morning actually came out and said, I think like.
Speaker 1We knew he was going to do all of this.
Speaker 2We're pretty ironclad and our thoughts on this, Oh, yeah, here we go.
Speaker 1Let me bring this up and put this on the screen as well.
What did he say?
Where is this one?
Oh?
I always forget anyway anyway, it's it's up here somewhere.
Which one is it under?
Yeah?
Tr status?
Speaker 2Okay, let me get that one up because this is what sarahas said with all this, which I think is really fascinating, he said.
Tanto says Paramount takeover bid for Warners was entirely expected.
We have a deal done, he said.
Today's move, which was the one hundred and a billion dollar hostile takeover bid, today's move was entirely expected.
We have a deal done, and we are really happy with the deal.
For shareholders, for consumers, it's a great way to create and protect jobs in the mtiment industry.
Speaker 1We're super confident we are going to get it across.
Speaker 2And that to me is the words of someone who's already explored every possible avenue the Paramount can explore here and they are going to end up winning this whole thing.
He even went to visit Trump back in November early November to start the process of like, look, we got to maintain a relationship with you because you're going to prove this, and apparently Trump couldn't help, couldn't stop talking such positive things about him at the Kennedy Center Honors thing.
So this to me seems like it's all set up for them to win.
And this is all sour grapes from Ellison and he's only looking worse, dude, as more of the information comes out.
Whinston, he looks worse and worse as more of the information comes out.
I don't know what the fuck they think they're doing.
This is bad, we are, Yeah, it's not great.
Speaker 3And I and I mean it's funny because people have been I remember on Friday how many people were just like pissed off the Netflix was doing it was the one that won.
Yeah, And it's not to say that there aren't concerns like Serrando's actually had the audacity to be like, well, you know, Barbie and Oppenheimer would have done just as big on Netflix instead of in a movie theater as like, no, no, it would not have.
You.
If you believe that, then I got some ocean side property to sell you in Chicago, Mi, dude, Like stop it, like, don't that's not even remotely close.
Now, it doesn't mean that the streamers aren't doing big business now, especially that we get reamed with new prices every two seconds, because like it feels like they just continue to climb and climb and climb and climb and climb right the same way that like, you know, an uber.
I've said this before, the whole thing, and Netflix has been quoted in saying that the whole thing with these tech companies is they're meant not to truly innovate, They're meant to disrupt.
Netflix was always their model was always to disrupt Hollywood.
Speaker 1They started with Blockbuster and disrupting their model, and.
Speaker 3Then once they started producing their own content, they applied the same thing Uber and lifted the same thing with taxis.
Speaker 1They got you addicted to the product, they gave.
Speaker 3You a little taste, and once they had the market share, the price is skyrocketed.
So before you could go, we'll just uber into town.
It will cost ten bucks, no big deal.
Now it costs you fifty.
And that's the same thing the streamers are doing.
I say all that to say that while I am worried about what Sarandos is going to bring to the table once he has all of this stuff, because he's made allusions to not caring about theatrical as much.
It has been quoted by Ellison that he had made assurances to the Trump administration that if he bought Warner Brothers, he would be gutting CNN, so it would look something look like something that Trump approves, and it's already started that with CBS News.
Speaker 1Let's bring that up, brother man, Let's bring that up here.
If you think Paramount, this is from the.
Speaker 2Wall Street Journal, The Wall Street Journal, which has carry Trump's water for a number of years, very much a right wing publication.
They if I think Tennessee Hall or at Tennessee, Haaller tweeteds out.
If you think Paramount is just trying to buy Warner of other sales and can stop seeing and from criticizing Trump, you're right, during to Washington.
In recent days, David Elison offered assurances to Trump, as Winston was alluding to to Trump administration officials that if he bought Warner he'd make sweeping changes to CNN, a common target of President Trump's ire.
Trump has told people close to him that he wants to do ownership of CNN as well as challenges to CNN programming.
So all this stuff is coming out, even from right wing columnists and right wing sites.
They're exposing Ellison's actual plan on this whole thing.
Speaker 1And it's the first thing I said.
Speaker 2This started breaking when Jeff and I were doing hot mic and it broke that he made the proposal, and I'd said, this is absolutely move for CNN.
Yes, to get the ip he of course, but they definitely want to control the narrative and start to twist people's minds to focus on the right wing candidates and essentially create a a dictatorship under the illusion of a democracy by controlling all the media airwaves or a lot of the media airwaves.
And this is what the plan is, dude, and it's it's disgusting.
And I wonder how all these people, some of our colleagues, Winston, who were out here going like, no, screwup.
I don't care if paramat gets seen.
I care about theaters or I care about physical media.
And it's like, do you care about the future of the country, Like, this is what we're playing with here, not your local movie theater.
Speaker 1This is what we're playing with, So your mood, your would see it's it is.
Speaker 3It is a combo of things because your movie theater is one small domino and everything else because what you're what you're getting closer to.
If if anybody, if anybody saying that was upset about Kimmel being pulled off the air and the idea of of going full Russia and having state run media, the last thing you need is a scenario where an administration is giving thumbs up, yeah and just and just fully going yep, no, we like that the best because they listen to what we say.
That's the point of media is supposed to be the idea of not only representation, but the free flowing of ideas as well as truth being brought to power.
It is supposed to be that comedians and journalists and things like that are supposed to be the stance against power.
If what you're saying is is that you, hey, I now have control two of the biggest studios do TV and movie wise period under my control, and I and I bow to you, oh King Trump, then that's not you were you were spinning in the face of that.
We should be able to have a CBS that has your n CIS's and your Yellowstones and you're all the other stuff that that paramount put out.
But then you also have an NBC that has you know, I've been doing rewatches that has your thirty rocks and your parks and rec and all the shit.
You should have stuff that speaks to liberals.
You should have stuff that speaks to conservatives.
You should have stuff that speaks to everybody.
This idea of we're all gonna lean this one political way is absolute insanity.
And that has always been why I like my two concerns have been one that and two when you match two studios together like that, the amount of job loss that is coming from layoffs, it was gonna be bad no matter who bought it, because if another company is acquiring one, like if a company is acquiring another, you don't need two PR teams.
You don't need two HR teams, you don't need two marketing teams, you don't need two analytics.
Speaker 1It you start slashing people.
Yeah, so it.
Speaker 3Is bad business for the sake of a free media, and it's bad business for the sake of both jobs and then for consumers.
The prices are only gonna get more ridiculous when it's like the only game in town.
Great, we're charging you fifty dollars to have paramount max plus Yeah, there are.
Speaker 2No winners in this, you know, I think all around because if the best thing would be for Warner Brothers not to sell, but there's no way you're going to force them not to sell.
This is a free country.
If they want to sell, they can sell.
The question becomes who do you sell too?
And that's where the Paramount Netflix situation is a real interesting one because both offer their pros and their cons right because Paramounts committed they said, they said, I don't know if I much believe them, but they said they're gonna commit to thirty theatrical film releases a year going forward with working with Warner Brothers.
That's their goal, right.
But Ellison also said, we are gonna have things just the way they were with Warner Brothers.
Speaker 1We're just gonna own them, but they're gonna keep operating.
Speaker 2David Zaslov sticks around as CEO, the guy in charge of TV, the HBO guy, They're all sticking around.
Speaker 1So we're just going to business as normal.
We're just gonna be owning them.
But who do you believe?
Speaker 2Right, because I just as you said this, like all kinds of stuff around, this stuff with them wanted to become state run media as well.
Speaker 3I also like this idea of like no, no, no, it's it's balance and all that that I've seen actual proof of folks that I know, Like, first of all, look look at the way the CW, which is the main controlling stake for them, between Warner and and CBS was CBS.
They fully gutted anything that smelled quote unquote woke or DEI.
Speaker 1So yes, you asched off the Berlante verse.
Speaker 3You like, I know, the shows the ratings were going down, but you took all of that out.
You took out every single show except for All American because you couldn't deny those.
Speaker 1Numbers, right, you got rid of all of that.
Speaker 3I know people that were doing shows for for channels like B E T where it was like it was gonna be like a show just about a black woman doing some stuff, right, They're like, yeah, no, we're not really doing that woke DEI stuff anymore.
Speaker 1It was for B E T.
Yeah, what are you you're gonna put on there?
Speaker 3If you're not gonna put a show about a black woman, I don't understand.
So like that's my point is I already have seen the proof that they don't give a shit, and that they are buying into the same kind of project twenty twenty five where anti woke, where anti DEI were anti all this shit.
But I just don't trust it that they're they're fine with the idea of black and brown felt going back to the background, but they're not.
But they're not chill with the idea of of literally allowing us to also have space in that sort of because again, it does not make logical sense to say you can't do it all.
You literally can't.
There's an other's an audience for every single type of thing.
So what are we even going on about.
Speaker 2I know that's the thing that I that I come back to over and over again, is like, there's a real truth to all of this, but I think some people don't want to see it.
I think some people are just caught up in like focusing on theaters and and and physical.
Speaker 1Media and all of that.
Speaker 2But there's real ramifications to what the Allisons are trying to do here, and they're trying to say all the right things to convince you to do it.
They're just like a producer or some of the more nefarious producers on movie sets who want you to get you to do something.
They are just going to try every tactic in the world to try to convince you to do it because they need their needs met.
And in the end, they're not going to fulfill the promises they gave you to get you to do a certain thing on set.
Speaker 1It's exactly what you're seeing here.
Speaker 2Just because they say they're going to commit to thirty theatrical movies, it doesn't mean that they're necessarily going to do that.
Speaker 1And it does.
Speaker 2And unless you write in the contract like they can, really they could release a move but do no pr for it, no ads for so we technically released it, but you know, we didn't promote it or push it, and it failed.
And then you reinforce the idea that, well, we do we don't need to be doing thirty because we're losing money from it.
So this idea that going with with with Paramount over Warner Brothers because it somehow will save movie theaters and physical media or keep theatrical windows with R it's an utter lie.
It's not going to The fears are going away, not all of them, but some of them are going to go away.
Physical media is definitely going away.
That's been dying on the vine for quite some time.
There's nothing this.
Speaker 1Deal does to save any of that.
That's just in your minds.
Speaker 3I like, just just to that point of they can say whatever they want now and then say because because.
Speaker 1Let's let's keep it a buck.
Speaker 3We've all applied for a job, and like, like I'm trying to remember who I want to say, it was probably deal hugely.
Speaker 1They did this joke best.
Maybe it was Chris Rock, I can't remember.
Speaker 3But the idea of like, you're in a job, and if you lie about all that shit so you can get the job, talk about where you're willing to work weekends.
Speaker 1Absolutely, I'll work weekends.
I don't need no time for myself.
Speaker 3You know what I'm saying.
It's like, okay, are you willing to go in for a pay cut?
Well, I need all that money anyway, I'm doing it.
I don't need all that money whatever.
And then you get in there you're like, I do none of that shit exactly exactly.
Paramounts guidance since the merger has laid off around thirty six hundred jobs yep, thirty six hundred after saying no, we're coming together to make this a stronger kind of studio whatever whatever.
And then it became like, well, we have to do this, we have to restructure, we're trying to streamline, there's a lot of redundancies.
Speaker 1Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 3It was really just a stepping stone because Paramount had been looking for a buyer for a while, and I remember reading an article last year and being really kind of worried about it.
But the idea that they've been looking at a buyer for a while because they really were falling in like fourth and fifth place in respective arenas, whether it be streaming or as.
Speaker 1The movie studio.
Speaker 3So they bought Paramount to give them that the sky Dance did to give them the illusion of like, yo, we actually have more power and more whatever whatever, to then ultimately get their prize of WB as far as it's going.
Speaker 1And again you did that.
Speaker 3You said what you need to say to get the girl, only to treat her terribly, and now you're doing this so you can get the other girl.
Speaker 1Yeah, you're literally dating.
Speaker 3You decided to hook up with the the best friend just you can get close to the girl you actually want to talk to, so you can essentially be like, I don't really care about you.
Maybe y'all could be sister wives, but I'm really trying to come over here and talk to her, like clearly, because that's the thing that they keep talking about, the IP that Warner has.
They're not they're not amping up and talking about how excited they are about the IP that they already have with Paramount right right.
They're they're like, I want what Warner has.
That's what I want, yeah, exactly.
And that's where you wonder.
Speaker 2How long they can keep this up, you know, because the stuff that's being exposed to Winston, as I said, they look worse and worse as more of this stuff gets exposed, and you wonder, okay, well, where is the limit?
Where is the line where finally people go, We're not going to entertain this anymore.
Speaker 1Like going to the shareholders.
Speaker 2That's like going to your mom because your dad won't give you what you want or vice versa.
Speaker 1It's a thousand percent a hard no.
Speaker 3And you dad, you know, Dad's asked is drunk for watching football.
Speaker 1So you go out here and be like, daddy, Daddy, I want to go to the mall, ask him up.
Speaker 3I did ask My mom said, ask you Cheryl Cheryl, did you say to coming here and ask me?
Speaker 1See she didn't answer.
She said she didn't want to be bothered with it.
Speaker 3Just came to ask you when your mom clearly said you gotticulous and then you ain't going no, God damn more exactly.
Speaker 1And then the dagget yelled that because the mom goes, I told that boy no.
So you know you get that, you get that situation as well.
So yeah, I mean, it's it's it's hilarious to me when you look at all of this because and it's and it's sad.
Speaker 2It's sad because this is this They should just be planning to get this thing through.
And the Ellisons are sitting there saying that we have a we have a situation with Trump, we have a smooth ride with Trump.
And they've got their mouthpieces that are out there.
That guy Charles over on the New York Post, he snapped back at me because I called him out on some of the stuff he's been doing.
He's basically been a mouthpiece for the Ellisons promoting how they were ahead of the curve on all of this.
Speaker 1They weren't shocked by any of this.
They've been prepared.
It's bullshit.
Speaker 2They got outmaneuvered an outthought by uh sorrandos.
Here am I saying that right?
Some people really upset the way I'm saying it.
Speaker 1Uh.
And he's just smarter.
Speaker 2In the situation because he's been a politic, He's been a Hollywood political animal longer than Ellison has been in the business, and he just understands how to play this thing with the big boys.
You know who wouldn't have got outmaneuvered David Ellison's dad, Larry.
If Larry had been in charge, because he's run Oracle and he's played these games before, Larry would have been I guarantee you there have been conversations where David Ellison is sitting there and Larry is yelling.
Speaker 1You idiot, why did you think this was good?
Why didn't you do this or this?
Speaker 3Dad?
Speaker 2Absolutely, those conversations have happened at the dinner table or on their fancy ass jets or wherever where it's very clear that, like, you know, the kid is the kid don't have what the dad has.
Speaker 1And we see this all the time.
Look at how Trump treats his own children.
Speaker 2They're like they're like castrated eunuchs wandering around because Trump has absolutely destroyed their fucking self esteem.
Speaker 1Watch the ins A Band documentary, the way he treated Shane the whole time.
These rich guys, they did.
Speaker 2Not treat their children well.
Trump was treated like dogshit by his dad.
That's why he's an asshole.
These guys don't treat their children well, and then they pass on their bullshit onto us.
Speaker 1And that's the horrible truth when you look at them.
Speaker 3Yeah, I mean, the other thing about it that I that I don't need is I also don't need the idea of one entity having that much control and power.
Remind you there's already a bunch of billionaires that do that as is.
Speaker 1But remember.
Speaker 3Larry Ellison, who again in charge of Oracle and all that kind of stuff.
And that's where David got his money for to continue to do all the stuff that he's doing.
Like, yes, they were running sky Dance, but obviously that's where the money was coming in.
Yeah, Oracle just bought TikTok after Trump turned around and was like, we're not gonna have no Chinese kevity and is Lena Secrets set up the sale of TikTok to Oracle.
His main whole thing is Ai and everything else like that too.
Speaker 1So there.
Speaker 3Now they're the ones farming your data and determining how things are gonna go and dick again.
It is all about control.
Like I, I don't think I have it ready in enough time.
Let me see if I do, because I have the perfect thing to explain how to solve this.
Ironically, I hate the fact that it had to come that my that my favorite movie of all time, had to be bastardized as the thing that that.
Speaker 1Like that that that got us here.
Speaker 3Yeah, let me see.
I can't find it.
That's fine.
Do you remember in Rush Hour two when they're leaving Hong Kong.
Yes, they are headed back to la and they're on the flight and you have the whole thing where where you know, uh Carter, James James Carter is like, you know, Field, finish that whole thing.
Speaker 1He has a conversation with Lee where he goes.
Speaker 3Let me introduce you to Detective James Carr's plan for solving any case.
Follow the rich white man.
Follow the rich follow the rich white man.
At the center of all of the bullshit or any crime that's going on, there's some rich white man at the center.
Speaker 1Of all of it.
Speaker 3And if you watch because normally when white people freak out, they start screaming like ah, you know, you know, this is where the funny racism of rush hour comes in.
It's like, you know, Asian people are no different, man, because y'all, y'all got to like kayaka kayaka.
Speaker 1Like that whole shit.
Speaker 3It's like what old white dude is calm in the midst of chaos, that rich white man is behind that ship.
Yes, yeah, flow and behold look how hardcore this full court press is to do this.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it's that's the thing when you look at it, Yes, exactly.
Speaker 1And so where is it going to lead?
What is the next step?
Speaker 2Because they've they've started the hostile takeover bid, the lawsuits have started to come in.
You have Elizabeth Warren playing both sides against she's against Netflix and paramoun ketting WB.
You got Bernie coming out on this, and then Trump is like, both of them have done me wrong recently.
I don't know which way I'm leaning, But it gets exposed in the SEC filing that his son in law, Jered Kushner is one of the people behind the bid from the paramount side of things.
Speaker 1So is that him putting the finger on the scale, or does.
Speaker 2Trump not want Jared to have that much power and says no to Paramount, says yes to Netflix because he doesn't want to be challenged amongst his own family dynamics.
Speaker 1Or who the top dog is.
Speaker 2So you have all of that running through all this nonsense as well.
So where is it going to go?
And the reason, apparently it came out today the reason the board rejected one of the reasons that's reportedly one of the reasons that the board rejected the bid was because it had so much Saudi Arabian sorry, Middle Eastern money behind it, with forty billion dollars from the Middle East, with the PIF Fund, with Katar and with Saudi Arabia and other country being involved here.
And before that, two three days ago, ten Cent, which is this Chinese military company that is on the watch list the twenty twenty five watch list of international in the United States Department Defense because they spy on their own people and might be and are trying to expand their spying to across to the globalist situation.
Speaker 1Tencent removed themselves two days ago from the bid.
Speaker 2But you'd have to be a fucking child to think they're still not going to find a way to be behind this thing through loopholes, shell companies or whatever to put their money back into this, because they clearly want to.
So these are nefarious anti American characters that are involved behind this bid from Paramount to go after this, not to mention the Ellison's being maga.
So to me, this is all treeson a shit in my opinion, to give this to someone, to give WB to Paramount, it's dangerous.
Speaker 1It just it again.
Speaker 3I think all of it is bad because let me make it clear, it is not lost on me that Netflix getting it is also not a good thing, like everybody said, because of what that means for physical media, because of what that means for the theatrical experience.
If you had to do this, your best bet as a company that had nothing to do with media like that, just deciding we want to diversify, so the way Apple started its own studio, if Apple hadn't done that and decided, fuck it, we'll buy Warner Brothers, and then that was how they kind of flexed out.
Fine, because you were not in the game already now, but if you already are, that's really where things just start to get ugly.
But I just again, I obviously am not going to be happy.
I'm gonna be furious if the theater going experience dies, and I'm gonna be furious if we lose our Blu rays and shit, because in the same vein, and like, I know, this was a different scenario, but like all of these studios were doing the shit during the pandemic where it was like, well, they weren't putting as much out in physical media because they were like.
Speaker 1They're on a streaming service.
Check it out on a streaming service.
Speaker 3How often does Disney lock up vault movies so that you just don't have access to shit?
Like I knew people in the industry who had their movies, their TV shows, the stuff that they'd worked so hard for that all of a sudden just evaporated without a trace because they were just like, ah, we don't want to pay you the royalties.
And this is right before the strike or right during the strike, but they literally were like, we don't want to pay you that shits, so sorry, it's gone.
It saves us money to not have to host that shit.
So like, do not get it twisted.
None of it is good.
But at the end of the day, if the only thing that I'm worrying about is that versus the idea of that and then a state run media type scenario, I'm gonna pick one over the other because as important as it is, and knowing that this is my livelihood and everything else, one is gonna straight take away the idea of free speech potentially because of who you are courting.
You may not, you may not directly, but you are you are empowering certain people.
Speaker 1Yeah, and the.
Speaker 3Other is just kind of changing a landscape that doesn't should not change like that.
But you see what I'm saying Like that, They're on different levels here, Like one is, ah, damn, I broke my hand.
The other is I shattered every bone in my body.
Two very different things.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Yeah, I go back to something.
Speaker 2I've read this the other night, and I'll read it again here for some people to enjoy me last night live.
But this is what my friend texted me, who is in the business in the industry.
She said to me, my main reason for thinking Netflix is the better option, even beyond the trump of it all, is the fact that they've never been afraid of diverse storytelling.
They are consistently making queer shows and shows with diverse casts.
They have a huge slates of foreign language stuff which they make to they make accessible for everyone, whereas ParaMed HBO always messes up their subtitles, and they actually promote these foreign things and foreign TV shows and foreign language things.
They've also never caved to pressure or harsh reactions to diversity, and they have constantly saved projects from other studios like K Pop, Demon Hunters and Pnemona and others.
So this is the thing when you look at it.
Yes, physical media, sure it's gonna go away.
Yes, the shortening theatrical windows, that is a tough situation.
But I think the public is inspiring that more than the studios are.
But the thing is that Netflix is the one who is doing the is showing you that they are unafraid of doing diverse storytelling.
They don't listen to the anti woke fucker's crowd on YouTube.
They do what they think is best and most of the time it hits.
Sometimes it doesn't, but that's their approach.
And I'll take that, as you said, Winston, as you described it so well over state run media.
I'll take that over Ellison telling James Gunn you need to kill hawkwoman for what she did to that corrupt white dude from the Eastern European country.
And Superman needs to see truth, nance to say truth, justice and the magaway like these are the things.
Speaker 1That we're becoming under an Ellison rule.
Speaker 2And that's the thing that I think is fascinating when you look at it, because that's the difference here between these two.
Speaker 1There's there's pros and cons, but there's much more pros.
Speaker 2In my opinion, on the Netflix side than there is on the Paramount side.
Speaker 3And that's that's that's really all it boils down to for me.
Again, let me reiterate this one more time, because someone's gonna talk.
Speaker 1About all your just whatever sort of shill.
It's not.
Speaker 3It's not that they're all bad.
Mergers are into corporate murders are not a good thing.
They are they are bad, bad, bad, because again, you are screwing over the consumer as far as the price goes, and you were screwing over the worker because again, the minute you shove all this together, there's not you have.
You have made a hunger games and it's like we don't have enough for all of you, so you go full than I I don't know if you saw this on my story.
But like, we have been trying to get my lady to to finish the Infinity saga for years now, and we finally we were down the Infinity War endgame because she went with me to the theaters to see Cap to Marvel nice like the and she saw Amin and the Wasp and all that, So we just needed to do these last two.
Speaker 1We've been watching the rest of the over years.
Speaker 3So she finally sits down to watch Infinity War and she loved it.
She was like, this was really great.
It's really well balanced, like all that kind of stuff, and but even how nefarious Danos was, but also the idea of like shit, there isn't enough to go around, like that's not how I would do it, but damn there is.
But but that's what mergers do.
It's it's it's some big Weig billionaire with his Infinity Stones going half of you Gotta die.
Speaker 1By yeah, basically like yeah, yeah, and and and uh, Sarah Nos came out and said like, uh, we are we.
Speaker 2Are gonna cost we are gonna lose less jobs than Paramount will in their merger, Like less people would be fired under our approach than Paramount's approach and so yeah, I mean it's it's all positioning.
Speaker 1It's you know, how much of his is true.
Speaker 2But like I tend to believe that because he's saying very clearly that he's going to leave WB alone.
And yeah, they'll have some kind of input, but they're not trying to take control of him then change everything and make everything just go out and streaming.
He wants to respect and honor the tradition of WB and I think Netflix needs this, whereas Paramount is trying to control everything and put the foothold down and all of that.
Netflix is trying to elevate their status here and start to win awards.
It's not a coincidence that a lot of Netflix films in the Golden Globes and in this Critics' Choice were snubbed this year again because or the end, they have never won an Oscar for Best Picture, because I think the industry votes against them because of the idea of shortening theatrical windows and all of that affects the money, affects jobs.
But if you get Warner Brothers and you show good faith towards the rest of the industry by letting one of the others be themselves and put out their movies, and yes you'll have some input, but not too much.
I think that's going to smooth a lot of the issues out with a lot.
Speaker 1Of the voters.
Speaker 2And eventually they're going to win an Oscar for Best Picture because they don't have the bias against them that some voters have when they're casting their votes.
Speaker 1So it's a way of elevating the company's profile.
I feel that.
Speaker 3I mean, it's not lost on me though that Like again, when we just talk about all the different sides of this thing, the strike went on as long as it did because of network.
Netflix was the one that was holding up that train.
Like again, I have to reiterate, none of these options are good.
Yes, Netflix was the one that was holding up that train because all of the other studios were were had other things to kind of fall back on as far as their money went.
Disney obviously because of the ip of Disney as a whole, had all of the you know, theme parks and the merchandise, and they owned ESPN, so you had sports and whatnot, Warner Brothers same stuff.
Yes, they you know TV shows and movies, but you had your other TV so you had your your various reality shows as they were.
You had sports as well, because you know with TNT they were doing the NBA.
They all of those classic studios had something else to fall back on, and Netflix didn't, and they were raising the biggest fuss about not paying writers and not paying actors.
And that's the thing I've known, both personally and others that a lot of those deals where you're like, dude, I am a lead on a show, you're thinking, because the base rate of doing that on say network TV is like fifty like anywhere from typically around eighteen to twenty grand is like the bare floor, but like fifteen to twenty.
Speaker 1I knew people that like, uh.
And when I say that, I mean like per episode.
Speaker 3I know people that would be on a lead on a Netflix show and they're making like twenty five hundred dollars an episode.
And the problem with that, obviously, is you got to remember that's not twenty that I'm not saying that is your net Twenty five hundred is what you were paying your entire team and paying taxes on per episode and shit like that.
So where you're thinking, damn, I just did thirteen episodes here, I should be.
Speaker 1Set for at least the year or what not.
Speaker 3You've maybe made You've walked away with maybe ten grand, and that shit took you like four four months plus.
You gotta do press for it and shit like that, Like you better have someone else lined.
Speaker 1Out, you know, son bring up the issues.
Yeah, do not get it twisted.
Speaker 3They all suck and with some former fashion but I but again, I just have to look at the bigger picture as far as this all goes.
Speaker 2Well, that's why I thought it was like Sharon Waxman at the Rap who I you know, I do read her stuff and I respect what she does there.
Speaker 1But she put out a tweet a thread of like I've spoken.
Speaker 2To some Hollywood power players and former power brokers, and.
Speaker 1This is how they feel about the whole situation.
They think that Paramount's way to.
Speaker 2Go because of what might happen here with some of the residuals and some of the money and the salaries of these people and other And I'm like, you pulled a bunch of people who also fucked over creatives throughout their careers, also paid them less.
Also was part of the problem with going with non union actors.
Remember that was like a few years ago.
It was it was sacrilege to use non union actors.
But a few years ago it started to turn where seventy to eighty percent of your cast were non union actors because producers and studios and movie movie production companies wanted to save money with their casting, and so that started to happen.
You didn't see those producers being like, well, don't do that, stop doing that.
No, they all went along with it because they were getting more money by paying the actors less or having less union actors on set.
Speaker 1So no one's clean.
And it was to make a judgment call here, no no.
Speaker 3Because the worst part of that was specifically it was less in TV movies because sag ended up being up their ass.
It was more with commercials.
Right, is actually how a lot of actors made that.
Like again they don't get rich, but that's how they make like a solid living.
Is that the commercial game was where you would do.
Speaker 1You would you could easily.
Speaker 3Clear like three or four commercials, pull like you know, eighty to one hundred off of that and live like a comfortable like life.
But you also got to remember you're like in La, so who knows how far that was going.
Speaker 1To go one way or the other.
Right.
Speaker 3Yeah, all that being said, all of a sudden, the massive switch happened, I want to say, around like twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen.
Yeah, and he's not lost on me where all of a sudden, a lot of these agencies started making all the commercials non union.
So one of the biggest campaigns that I did, which I was honored to do, but it was the last thing I did non union wise, was this ad campaign for twenty three and me.
Speaker 1And like the thing.
Speaker 3About that commercial, that commercial was everywhere I was getting phone calls non fucking bro I just saw your ass like blah blah blah.
I think the craziest part that got me well, the fucking broke.
I was on a bit the the biggest like central billboard in Times Square, the little centerpiece that you see when you're walking on the thing.
I was on there constantly.
It was rotating me out for six months.
Amazing roka.
I made a whopping total.
Again, this is gross, not net, after TAXI paying a team.
I made a gross for that whole a gross for that whole thing for nine K.
And they ran that shit for two years.
I was in Times Square on a billboard for six months and they ran those commercials for two years.
That is the type of shit that they do with that non union stuff.
And that's why when people were like, you know, it seems like SAG doesn't always do a lot.
SAG has its issues, but like most other things, there's a plus and minus to everything, and that's why having union actors and writers and things like that, those protections are in place so you're not getting taken advantage of it and you get to use my face freely for two fucking years exactly.
Speaker 2Yeah, And that's the because I yeah, campaign like that would normally, even with non union, would normally pay you twenty thirty forty depending on the situation, maybe even a little bit more.
Speaker 3And so to be on the billboard that long, is it like to that point that by itself would have been worth like about fifty k.
Yeah, just that, like not even all of the shit that it was running on team Like it was so crazy because I was like the commercials were playing during NBA games, It was playing during during like March Madness games.
Yeah, it was playing during like hockey and NFL games.
But again it was a non union commercial, so they could run that shit as much as.
Speaker 1They what did Yeah exactly, Yeah exactly, And it.
Speaker 2Was the company that was recouping all the all the benefit and paying you nothing.
And that's what you see in these things.
It's it's constant.
So any any producer or power broker, even even Christopher Nolan and the DGA going to express their issues.
Shall I show you the number of directors that have gone to work for Netflix, Giamo dec Toro, who I called out on Twitter, Catherine Bigelow this year, Ryan Johnson, There are so many, Jay Bayona, There are so many directors that have gone and done stre movies for other for streaming services, specifically Netflix, that are also out of here being like, what movies need to be shown in the theaters.
Speaker 1You can't have it both ways.
Speaker 2You can't have it both ways because you're essentially saying it's okay to go work for Netflix with their knowing their theatrical windows are short, and then you want to come up and be like, well, these movies should be so, these movies should be in theater, so director, so Nolan, the director is marching their way over to the law to get upset at paramount, sorry, get upset at.
Speaker 1Netflix or whatever.
It's useless.
Speaker 2It's nonsense because if some of your directors are coming to work for my company, what the hell are you complaining about?
So to me, all of this stuff is posturing.
The WGA's statement, which is about as flaccid as it gets, posturing SAG statement through sean astid flaccid, the DGA flaccid, producers got flaccid.
It all means nothing because people have power in these positions and they know people want to come work and put their projects on their airwaves.
And that's the situation you find yourself and what a bunch of creatives are gonna be like, No, I won't do it, bullshit, Okay, we'll find another one.
Speaker 1It will.
That's the game.
Speaker 3Sadly, it's what's so weird about it, man, is like the truth of the matter is is that we all have to stick together because if you don't, that's where this stuff all comes apart at the seams.
But at the same time, it's in such a bad place.
I sometimes look and then when someone's like I gotta secure the bag, I'm like, I want to be mad with you, but I can't even be mad with.
Speaker 1You because it's like, right now, it's.
Speaker 3It has gotten so bad that I'm just like, you gotta do there's a level of like, shit, you gotta do what you gotta do.
Speaker 1Man like.
But I but I really wished.
Speaker 3That we had a little bit more solidarity to stick together.
And like, again, I will give credit once the strike ended, things have gotten better consumers, but they're not.
Speaker 1It's not perfect, Like.
Speaker 3There's still there's still things that need to change, and you do that's but that's the whole thing about negotiating.
You you did the best you could and then hope to get more the next go round.
Speaker 1But yeah, see, man, I mean.
Speaker 3That's that's why I'm hardcore pulling for the ladies of the w man because the league is also trying to screw them over right now too.
And you know, like the last concession that they had was like the new Supermax was like a million dollars, yes, but then they were getting rid of like housing for players, which to me is crazy because when you consider the speed at which players get traded or let go in that league in particular, it really and and because people are only making so much your contract of I make eighty K playing for the Dallas Wings, it's completely different in LA or New York where just trying to find a place to live, and to find a place to live quickly and have then help you if you have a family, is just not going because it's not just Okay, I gotta pay my rent and put the security deposit down or whatever it's.
Speaker 1I gotta move my whole life.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying, cost of living and how do I make that all square away?
Exactly one?
You know?
And Angel Reese was alluding to that.
Speaker 2Caitlin Clark has spoken to it, and these negotiations, I agree with you really important.
Speaker 1And don't overlook the ladies of the NWSL.
Speaker 2Who are also in a collective bargaining agreement for Trinity.
Rodman just had this very lucrative contract turned down by the Commissioner of the NWSL, who is who says she's trying to stop players from going overseas, but here she turned down this contract, multimillion down the contract for Trinity because she claimed it was going to create unfair advantages and players were going to ask.
Speaker 1For more money.
Speaker 2Welcome to the fucking game, man, you want to play in the game, don't say one thing and do the other with the other side of your mouth, you know, yeah, the.
Speaker 3The like, I'm is it a scenario of like what the Dodgers did with like show Hay on some crazy ship like that, because that because that was wild, because didn't.
Speaker 1He technically make like a billion off of that over like ten years.
Speaker 3But they're like petting him like a dollar season so yeah, and then they're just gonna eventually pay him out.
Speaker 1Or some ship.
Yeah yeah, the contract.
Speaker 3Yeah, that is at the end so nuts to me, which is crazy because you know, he got a lot of gambling to due, so that's not hey allegedly allegedly allegedly I love Otani.
I'm I'm, I'm joshing, but like I just yeah, oh lordy jesus, that's a.
Speaker 1Whole hour, damn damn you Mergers.
Well, let's move on to this because I let's obviously we'll keep tabs on it.
Speaker 2We'll see what's going on with that, so we will be aware of because there's probably gonna be a lot more drama out of something that.
Like I said, it's like a real Housewives of a Billionaires type situation before this is all over, so we'll see.
Speaker 1But let's move on to this.
Speaker 2Man, let's talk a little let's talk a little nerdy shit.
Let's talk some James Gunn situation here.
Apparently he is coming to a decision for Man of.
Speaker 1Tomorrow for Brainiac.
Speaker 2Apparently, according to a number of places, he is close to casting his Brainiac for this movie My Time to Shinellow.
One of my people says a cast decision for Brainik is coming any day now.
And we do have the Supergirl trailer that is coming on Thursday Winston, probably at six am or something like that.
Speaker 1So will they release the name of the Brainiac?
Speaker 2Sorry, what was the name of the actor playing Brainiac before the trailer or at the same time as the trailer or after the trailer?
Speaker 1Are we all going to get that revealed in the trailer?
Speaker 2That Brainiac may have a small part in the movie, I don't know, but it's interesting to hear that it might be coming soon.
Speaker 1Here are the people who are apparently in Motionless.
What are your thoughts on this?
Speaker 2Someone who I want to see and that's Dave Batista because apparently the rumors say that someone he's worked with for quite some time, Dave Batista would be interesting.
That's Smith is someone who they've looked at.
Apparently it's in the running.
Sam Rockwell is in the running as well, and Clays Bang, who some of you may know from the first season of Bad Sisters on Apple TV, which is great, the Affair the Northman Girl in the Spiders Web, and also that Dracula show that he was a part of as well, So an.
Speaker 1Interesting cast of people.
I'm leaning towards Batista, But what do you think we're gonna go.
We're gonna get announcement soon, and who do you see playing the character of those who just listed?
Speaker 3Matt Smith is by far and away the best choice in my opinion, just because I love Batista's acting.
I don't get brainy act from him.
There's there's there's there's other villains that I think he would he would do great with if you just if he wants to take his hand at being a villain.
But I just it's not to say that he can't be cerebral, but like I just there there is a certain kind of cold, calculated the fariousness that comes out of it.
And there was enough that I've seen in Matt Smith in like House of the Drag and that that aligns for me.
I like Sam rock Wall as well, but he's a little too blase fit.
He's too cool, like I can't separate him from him dancing in both Charlie's Angels and.
Speaker 1In uh, you know, Iron Man, like I can't separate his cool factor.
Brainiac's not cool.
Brainiac is a calculating ass robot like like AI like I.
Speaker 3I So Matt Smith is the one that, like just based off of performances that I've seen, and I'm like, yeah, now that that one works for me.
And as far as when they're gonna do it, I certainly hope that we're not getting Brainiac in Supergirl, unless when if we're following, if we're following you know, a Woman of Tomorrow, when she speaks of losing Crypton, if we're sticking with the idea that Brainiac was like a Kryptonian AI, because it's there's a number of different ways that it's a different AI that's just been going by and came along Krypton at one point.
There's also the it was a AI of Krypton.
There's a number of different ways that his origin story has been told.
If when she's reminiscing about Krypton, Brainiac shows up there somewhere flashbacks, I'm sure, Yeah, I'm.
Speaker 1Fine with that, but I don't.
Speaker 3I really like the story of Woman to Tomorrow, and I don't want to deviate too far from what the original story is.
Speaker 1Personally.
Speaker 2Yeah, I like some of the comments from the people who are watching this right now.
Lee Pace would be great.
We've seen that a lot of people like lee Pace.
That's an interesting choice.
My vote is Neil de grass A Tyson for Breaking.
Speaker 1No, he's he's I like Neili grass Tyson, but no, yeah, yeah, so much of a goober.
Speaker 3Dave Batista for Hugo Strange.
Maybe I actually could potentially see that.
I don't hate that.
I know he doesn't want to play all like giant big people, because my idea would be having him as like say.
Speaker 1Killer croc oh exactly be interesting, yeah, or if you're gonna or if you're gonna.
I don't think.
I know he doesn't want to stay that big anymore.
He's he's really shrunk down.
Speaker 3It would have been a great Bane, like like if you're if you, He would have been a fantastic Bane.
Speaker 1But I know he's done being that big.
Yeah, there's a.
Speaker 2Lot of work Princess posits and Batista's dark side would be cool.
Speaker 1I could think he would crush dark Side.
I think he would absolutely crush dark Side, my quiet, brooding energy.
It would he would be fantastic.
Speaker 3In that take him in Dune, him and that knock at the door and him as as Draxy put it together and there's your dark Side.
Speaker 1I think he would crush that.
Yeah, yeah, agreed.
Speaker 2Someone said Jeremy strong For would also be good interesting choice as well.
Speaker 1Uh so, yeah, it could be a number.
Speaker 2Of names, but I think we are going to get something because also we should move over to this Winston, what were your thoughts on the first ten seconds?
Speaker 1We had a the ten second teaser.
Speaker 2I know, a thought to tell from ten seconds, but we did get a taste of a little bit of what we might be seeing here in this movie.
With the trailer coming on Thursday.
What were your thoughts on the ten seconds of Supergirl stuff that we got.
Speaker 3I mean, I thought it was great.
I just still it's funny, man.
I still just stand by the fact that, like, I think Millie is a great actress, and I like what she did with with Kara in her little bit in Supergirl.
I just she just doesn't look like Supergirl.
I don't I can't put my finger on it.
I'm not saying that she's not a badass.
Speaker 1She is.
I'm not saying that she's not a good actress.
She is.
Speaker 3I just when I look at her and then I look at like any drawing iteration I've ever seen of Supergirl, I'm just like, no, like you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1And again, she'd come out here and crush it.
Speaker 3I said the same thing about Heath Ledger, and mind you, that's a lot more makeup in that scenario to kind of change that up, and the acting may be more than enough to make me completely forget it and rewrite what I see out of it.
And it's it's like she brings the right attitude because again, this Carra has is not the bubble sunshine.
You know, Superman's cousin, a Superman's cousin, but bro, she seemed the dark side of the universe, and so like it that that energy that she brings is a hundred percent spot on.
Speaker 1Yeah, but.
Speaker 3She would need to go blonde, and I think she's a little older for it now.
But like I think back to like Mary Elizabeth Winstead, what it is like, Oh, give me that kind of vibe of like the look and everything else like that, you know.
But but I think Milly will do fantastic.
I can't wait to see what she does with it.
That's that's I'm just saying from a look standpoint.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, it was me off a little bit.
I like the ten seconds and excited me.
I like that she's got this.
Speaker 2I like the attitude that she hasked with a Supergirl exactly, you know, that kind of like young girl attitude and can handle her shit and doesn't put too much stock and stuff.
And the log line I think came out for the movie.
I'm gonna see if I can pull this up here, if I can find it real quick.
But apparently it was a part of this thing for Supergirl.
Speaker 1Uh, okay, I think this might be it?
Is this it?
Yeah?
The trailer they're talking about the trail.
Okay, the trailer.
Speaker 2I'm not going to read that because some people, some people are spoiling the trailer because the trailer was shown in New York at a special event.
Speaker 1Some people were flown in.
So I'm not going to read the trailer.
People should discover that on their own.
But I thought, okay, here we go.
Speaker 3Is this it?
Speaker 1The log line?
Yeah?
To get okay.
Speaker 2So when an unexpected and ruthless enemy threatens, carraz Orel is forced against her will to team up with an unlikely companion.
Speaker 1I'm sure that's Lobo.
Together they embark on an epic cosmic journey where revenge and justice or at stake, and where Kara must confront her origins to find her own path as a hero.
It's it's not Lobo, it's Ruthie.
Speaker 3Yeah, Ruthie ruth because that's that's what sets are on for those that don't know, it's it.
Speaker 1It's the first page of the book.
Speaker 3A young a young alien girl's father is killed and Supergirl ultimately ends up helping her, So that that's who the unusual companion is.
I'm curious because I wonder if Lobo, the way that Jason has brought into it is if there's a replacement of like the gang that is sheltering the main villain, If Lobo maybe is like working with and that's the alternate way that they go about it.
Yeah, or maybe if not that, then maybe Lobo has a bounty on this dude too, and it's a race to see who gets revenge first.
I could see them altering it that way as well.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, we will see for sure when this all all pans out, so we'll find out.
Speaker 1All right, Well, I think we should move on.
Speaker 2We're running out of time here when we got half an hour left on the show, So let's let's move on to the NFL stuff.
NFL Week fourteen happened over the weekend.
Man, the playoff positionings or positions are moving all around, bro, It's an interesting situation.
We start out with the Lions destroying your Cowboys on Thursday and kind of maybe messing once again with the Cowboys and people's predictions they might make the Super Bowl.
But then the Seahawks destroyed the falcons of Sam Darnold.
Now ten wins for those Seahawks.
The Bills outlasted the Bengals in the game of the weekend in my opinion, there and the snow was amazing.
The Titans beat the Browns, although Chador looked damn good three hundred.
Speaker 1And something yards.
Speaker 2The Vikings crushed my commanders, who should just stop playing any games for the rest of the season.
Speaker 1The Dolphins crushed the Jets the same wait wait wait wait wait it was a shutout which one yeah, thirty one to nothing thirty one, my god, no nothing, and we lost Jadon Daniels to injury again in the third quarter.
What happened to him?
Speaker 2His same elbow, the same elbow.
He tried to brace himself again and hurt his fucking elbow again.
Never put him back in Yeah, yeah, right, Chador.
Speaker 1Sorry.
Speaker 2Dolphins beat the Jet thirty four to ten, the Buccaneers twenty four to twenty, shocking the Buccaneers there.
The Saints did rather sat shocking the Buccaneers.
The Jaguars crushed the Colts and they lost Daniel Jones to an achilles heel injury.
The Steelers beat the Ravens in a shocking win there with Aaron Rodgers coming back in Tomlin.
Now they're in first place in the division.
The Broncos beat the Raiders.
The Packers beat the Bears in the division to take first place in the entire conference.
The Rams crushed the Cardinals, the Texans beat the Chiefs and the Chiefs store of life support of playoffs, and then the Chargers shocked the Eagles last night twenty two to nineteen.
So, Winston, what stories pop out at you?
And please feel free to weave in the Philip Rivers story as well.
Speaker 3I mean that's gonna be the one.
Is the Colts Jaguars.
Daniel Jones goes down on an achille.
It's non contact injury.
You see it happen.
It's pretty brutal because you can tell right away.
And then he's limping.
And I'll give him credit the fact that he tried to one up on Kobe, Like no one, nothing will ever beat Kobe doing those free throws after tearing his achille.
But like where before, like Kobe like walked over did that and then it kind of got helped out.
Daniel was over here kind of limping on his own, like he did have some help to get to the sideline, but then was kind of walking.
Speaker 1On his own.
Speaker 3After the fact, Achilles is gone.
So what are the Colts do?
Well, they put in their backup.
Their backup gets hurt.
Now his knee is fed up.
Speaker 1So what do they do after that?
Speaker 3They go and call the last major franchise quarterback that was in their building and they get Philip Rivers to unretire after five years of being the man is a semi finalist right now for the Hall of Fame.
By he officially signed to the practice squad, which I think from that point forward means that he's gonna like they'll they're they're planning on putting him in eventually.
And if that's the case, not only a would that then make him the oldest active player in the NFL.
Speaker 1I think that means that because what how old was Brady when he ultimately retired.
I think he was forty seven or forty eight when he tired.
No way, there's no way Brady's that all forty two.
I think he might have been forty two.
I think, okay, because he's now forty five, forty six or forty four when here.
Speaker 3So he'll see he won't he won't passes the oldest quarterback to be playing.
Speaker 1But he retired at forty five.
Brady retired from the NFL at forty five.
But this, this is about to just be ridiculous because the funniest.
Speaker 3Joke I saw with someone was like, that's this motherfucker was just tired to be in the house with all them damn kids.
Speaker 1He's got eleven kids.
He's just tired to be in the house with all them damn kids.
Speaker 3So he was like, I gotta go do something, and he decided to go and say sure, I'll go because I guess he's been coaching.
I don't remember if it's college or high school, but he's been coaching.
So he's been working out with his players.
So people were like, well, he's still throwing the ball and he's still working out, maybe not as hard as he was before, but they're like, they're like, still kind of got it, so they're gonna let him play.
I don't want I'm just gonna say this, and I'm not wishing this at all, but I'm genuinely concerned.
I was very disturbed like most people when Damar Hamlin died on the field.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, right.
Speaker 3I genuinely don't necessarily want to see this because Philip Rivers at forty four, having not played for the last four years, that first hit.
Look at how Aaron Rodgers is flinching right now.
Speaker 1I know you're right.
Speaker 3I am genuinely worried about Philip rivers Is safety.
Yeah, as far as this all goes, now, if he comes out and if he does the impossible, I feel like if he comes in, Jonathan Taylor gets right, he somehow pulls a Peyton Manning and like helps the team just kind of coast through and win a super Bowl because that last paint manning super Bowl, he didn't win that.
Speaker 1He just made sure they didn't lose it.
That defense won that if.
Speaker 3The rest of the team and he's just the lynch pin to keep the wheels from falling off, I feel like you got to make an exception to the rule and just let him into the Hall of Fame immediately, because it's like, Bro, you came out of retirement, won a super Bowl and then like and then we were tiring.
Like, Bro, that's that's some like replacements level shit where you got Shane Falco to come in and just hold the team together long enough so that they can go to the they could go to the playoffs.
Speaker 2Ye, this feels an go one of two ways, which is one, it's an incredible story that becomes a Hollywood movie that Philip Rivers finally wins his super Bowl coming back after five years of not playing.
Speaker 3Given an MVP, if he if he if he does this in four games, if in four games he gets them right, gets in the number one seed, and then like it leads him on a playoff runt.
Speaker 1Do you go ooh, sorry about that?
Speaker 3Uh?
Who was bawling out this year?
I mean John the Taylor was for a minute.
It's open Matt staff Sorry, Matt Stafford, bro you kept playing.
Boy, came in here and did this shit older than you and broken down and somehow won it all.
Speaker 1That would be amazing.
Speaker 2But or this goes really badly, where like someone breaks off and just absolutely creams him.
It's not like the Colts o line is that strong and you got people like that are the massive guys, and you haven't played in five years.
Speaker 3Those guys have got and this is Roca.
These are the teams that they're playing.
He screwed.
They play Seattle this weekend, they play San Francisco.
It's at Seattle.
Speaker 1Oh god.
Then they get then into town comes the forty nine Ers.
Yep.
Speaker 3Then they play the Jags, who just beat the shit out of them and led to two of their quarterbacks getting injured, even though again one was on contact.
The Danigels is on contact.
And then you finish with the greatest defense in the league, in the Texans.
This is if he come in for the stretch of like, hey, you're gonna play like.
Speaker 1The Raiders.
Speaker 3Yeah, the Cardinals, the Chargers into the Tennessee Titans.
I'd be like I bet, come on, man, you can do this.
This is literally the worst four set of games that he could possibly play right now.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's a.
Speaker 2Crazy situation because right now I don't see any team in the AFC dropping out of playoff contention except the Colts.
Like I think the Broncos, the Patriots, the Jags, I do think the Steelers, the Chargers, and I think definitely the Texans, who look like the dark horse candidate in a half are all locked in.
And the Bills, of course, so it's one.
Speaker 1I think the Colts.
Speaker 2One is up for grabs between the Ravens and the Chiefs to go get that position, to go get that fucking shot, unless unless somehow Philip Rivers can hold off all this stuff and they get victories here.
But this is where we're at with this situation that it's got a lot of twists and turns to see if it's going to go out the way it is.
But you point out so, well, it's a murderer's row that he's got to play here to finish out the year.
And these guys, look, these guys want to get the playoffs, like you're playing playoff teams, so they want to fight for their seating.
Speaker 1You're gonna get smacked around that game.
Speaker 3Man.
Speaker 1It's gonna be a interesting how he reacts to all of it, you know.
Speaker 3Well, yeah, And the funny thing is, so he won't pass Brady for the oldest NFL quarterback to start, because, like you said, Brady retire at forty five.
He turned forty four yesterday, right, Philip Rivers did, so he, like you, like, there's no world where he goes beyond this year.
I would it doesn't make any sense, but he'll be tied for second with Steve de Berg, Vinnie Testa Verdi, and Warren Moon.
But it's not like that in those moments in their forty fourth year, they were doing anything super great, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2So I'm enough to remember every one of those players playing as a starter, including Steve de.
Speaker 3Berg, right right, Like the oldest active players right now are Aaron Rodgers, Mercedes Lewis, Nick Folk, Matt Prater, and Joe Flacco, And how are all of them doing right now?
So, like, I just don't believe that a forty four year old Philip Rivers, who hasn't been playing at an NFL level, is going to do all that and someone even joked about the idea, Oh Brady wasn't even the number one.
I take that the oldest NFL players, This is quarterbacks or NFL players.
But the last little part, someone was like, bro, with those eleven kids, he's actually a grandfather.
He has a grandfather.
About that, you want to go see Pop Pop play football at the NFL.
Speaker 1Like, God, damn, it's so true.
It's so true.
Speaker 2It's gonna be interesting to see what happens with that or any other stories from the from the games.
Speaker 1I mean, I think the bill Eagles, the Eagle, the Eagles man, that's some trouble.
Speaker 3Told you, where is L Boogie?
Where is l all these Eagles fans?
I fucking told you it's not over until it's over.
But how many times did I have to say there is a problem.
You look like the twenty twenty three version of yourself, where yes, you started off strong with we won ten eleven year, but you were barely winning them, and then when you got to the playoffs, you got embarrassed.
The fact that Jalen Hurts just set a record, it was history of the making to throw an interception and fumble the ball in the same play.
He threw an interception, someone knocked the ball to the hand, he picked it up and then refumbled it and lost the ball there too.
If I'm not mistaken, he got docked double lost points for that.
There was even somebody that posted all I needed was for Jalen Hurts to put up two point five points for me to make it to the playoffs, and he ended up in that last interception that he threw.
Speaker 1At the end of the game with two point four.
Speaker 3That is insane, And so I just I'm trying to tell you, I think, above all else, we are seeing the truth about Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 1I like him as a person.
I think as a person he is awesome.
Speaker 3Some these coordinators were really kind of making him because Kevin Moore was setting him up in ways that made him look like a rock star when he needed to be a rock star.
But now that he actually needs to be doing the reeds himself and making the adjustments he can't do because a lot of those interceptions.
Yeah, you're like, what were you looking at?
You were you were tracking the same dude the whole time, and you didn't see a d lineman dropping the coverage to get it into a d Lineman bro He's just he's not the one, but not the one.
Speaker 2When he's here's the footsteps, you can start to see those those legs start to get crazy and then he starts throwing balls that are dangerous.
And that interception he threw at the end, that was I mean, he threw some really nice balls to AJ in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter overtime, but then uh and DeVante but it's not U.
But like that interception he threw was kind of with all the pressure coming down and he just threw it and did not see that the dB was going to pull off the tight end to get that deflection and get the interception.
Good quarterbacks know how to freeze the dB from making that move before they throw the ball.
Speaker 1I agree, I agree.
Speaker 3I mean the one that people are saying that it was AJ's fault, the high ball that he could have gotten, Oh yeah, blame but I don't blame AJ for that.
That's that's a ball where you throw that low so the receiver can defend himself.
You left him completely defenseless.
And what just happened to your tight end and this guy that was a former Eagle that it make that makes me so sad that that is most likely how zach Ertz his career will end, because that was that you put.
You put it so high up he was about to get crushed and AJ could sense it and flinched because I'm sure he saw that play yesterday.
Speaker 1There's no way that players and receivers don't see that.
Speaker 3Shouldn't go oh Jesus, So like, yeah, I know he's getting paid thirty two million.
I'm not like, even if I am, I am not putting myself in a position because again, that hit that's coming, he is fully extended up.
Speaker 1That means he's getting hit at the knees mid air.
Speaker 3That is literally your career is gone, and if not your career, you're walking with a guaranteed personal limb for the rest of your life.
Speaker 1I do not blame him.
Speaker 3The quarterback needs to put that in a safe position for him to be able, like he can still go for it, but can protect himself, Like quarterbacks get cussed out for that shit.
Yeah, So I don't put that one as much on AJ, just from the standpoint of like I would like to play this game for more than this game exactly.
Speaker 1Yeah, And look, AD has had an issue with Jalen hospitable, that's what they call it.
They called hospital.
You know, Adrian's had an issue with Jaalen the whole year.
Speaker 2He's made his comments clear, and so in that moment, I think, you know, AJ was about self preservation and he'll get other bites of the apple, and he did when when Jalen after that that throw, Jalen threw him some really great passes and he was able to catch them all and most of them except for that touchdown, that was a beautiful throw as well, So there were possibilities there.
So you know, he was self pres preserving himself, and I think is nothing wrong with that.
You want to keep playing the game, right, going up for one catch and it knocks you out for the game, possibly the season because you got your ribs crunched or whatever.
As we saw with zach Ertz his knee absolutely smashed.
That's not what you want to do off one play.
Speaker 1So I don't fault any receiver nowadays for doing that kind of shick.
Speaker 3So you got there were other balls that that Aj I Seel Boogie talking about that AJ should have caught, and I agree with that that that I'm not denying.
In the same way that I was mad with Pickens where it seems like he just took his foot off the gas all of a sudden.
Speaker 1Yeah, once he got hurt.
Speaker 3I am not denying that that there are things that AJ could have done better, But that particular ball which led to an interception, that was a hospital ball, and I do not blame him for seeing that and going I'm not doing that right right, Okay, I got thirty two million dollars so I could sit up and waste it and all on getting surgeries on my leg and then I'm stuck in the house and ship.
No.
Speaker 1Yeah, that zach Ertz one was horrific.
I was gonna play it.
Speaker 3I'm like, I just genuinely like Earth's was talking about, this was his last Yeah, this was his last season.
To think that that genuinely, I see somebody else said it that that was his last play ever playing football.
Speaker 1That's that's heartbreaking.
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2It's a shame because he was such a star for US last year.
He was such a star for US last year.
Speaker 1It's so true.
All right, Well, we gotta wrap up.
Let's get to the questions when Sam's run through these as quick as we can.
Thank you.
Everybody who's watching us right now.
Speaker 2Reggie Brown says in my Stepe one of Voice, happy birthday too, Yeah and fire Kevin Stefanski, I mean, dude.
Speaker 1Door looked good.
Speaker 3Bro.
Speaker 2You know me, I've haven't been in that camp, but you can't deny he looked damn good throwing that ball.
I tried to tell you, baby, three touchdowns, damn than guys, some more playing time.
Speaker 1Let's see what's up.
He's got a for the rest of the season.
Speaker 2That's true, that boy, Thank you, that boy for the superstick.
I really appreciate that man.
Wiley up in ears well, happy Beda Winston.
Speaker 1There you go, brok.
Speaker 2Have you watched The Rock in Brendan Fraser's Actors on Actors Shit, No, I have not, but I've seen clips, really sweet clips.
I just I gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 1I don't know how much I buy the Rocks act right now.
The humility, the soft speaking, the really appreciative.
Speaker 2I don't know how much of that I buy right now, and how much of that is pr because of the lumps he's taken recently with his egotistical move So I'm still kind of warming up to that.
So I will watch it because I love Brendan and I loved Rental Family.
Highly recommend people see that movie that.
Yeah, so I will watch it eventually, but yeah, you haven't seen it every Winston.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Chris Corcoran says, I'm worried about Ellison's blacklist of actors he considers anti Semitic.
Yeah, we didn't even mention that, which here means anyone pro Palestine.
He's literally friends with net yahou.
Speaker 1Yep, yep, yep.
That's a fair boy.
Yep.
Speaker 3That's a whole dish level of just not of of how he is operating and that that's That's what I'm saying, is that he is he is fully.
Speaker 1In that and is not hiding it.
Yeah.
So yeah, I mean there's a hypocrisy there where you're you're.
Speaker 2Like, well, as Maga Republicans, we can't make a living in Hollywood, and then you're gonna be like, well, if you don't have a political point with the grooves of mind, you don't get to work in my studio.
Speaker 1That's fucking stupid.
That is fucking stupid and hypocritical as fuck.
Yeah, who says that they can't work in Hollywood?
I mean that was that was what.
Speaker 3Uh, Zachary Levi has been saying, he's like two movies coming out, Like what are we talking about?
Speaker 1And Zach, no one goes to see your movies.
You work in Hollywood.
Speaker 2I people want to see you movies, right, I mean Fraser, Kelsey Grammar's a hardcore he would worked for quite a lot of time.
Speaker 1Tim Allen, it's got a new sitcom.
Speaker 3Where Kelsey Grammar's uh Macca, Oh, he's came out this over the weekend and said that Trump is the greatest president of the country's ever had.
Speaker 1Yeah he's been, Yeah, he's been.
He's been a Trump guy for a while.
You know, wow, yeah, yeah, you know that.
I mean he played Frasier.
I'm not surprised, but like I just I did.
I don't know, I know, I know, Uh, Matt SI's and McCall says, NFL player that drove you nuts.
Speaker 2It can't be over character.
But because they're great and always causing problems for a team.
You're rooting for Von Miller for me.
Speaker 1Oh, NFL player that drove me nuts.
Speaker 2Oh Deon Sanders when he played for the fucking Redskins when we were the Redskins.
That son of a bitch stole eight million dollars from us to fuck around for a year of football, and he never returned the money.
He stole eight million dollars from us to just mess around and play a year of football.
Is disgusting and I'll hate him forever.
Speaker 3Cowboy, he was still a cowboy baby.
Yeah yeah, hey man, that's why you don't hire people within the division.
Speaker 1What are you doing?
I know it was ridiculous.
Speaker 3Oh.
Speaker 1Don McNabb was another one.
Oh who did I who did?
I hate?
It can't be over a character.
Speaker 3I mean, honestly, shady Sean McCoy, bro, he was just just just dancing all over us all the time.
Speaker 1I hated him.
I think he's funny now as like an analyst.
He drives.
He annoys me the way.
Speaker 3He capes for the Eagle, Like he was drunken ship last night on Speakeasy and he was going he was still defending the Eagles when there was nothing to defend.
Speaker 1But maybe he means like a player that was so good that was messing with your team.
That's what I meant that, That's what I meant.
Speaker 2Okay, okay, yeah, so let me let me reiterate, because I was talking about someone irritated me.
Speaker 1Oh Jesus, was there anyone?
I mean Lawrence Taylor, because I remember back in the day that's I hated Lawrence.
He was always he was always a beast against my skins back in the old days.
Man Tom Brady, Yeah, Brady.
Everyone hated Brady, especially as the Cowboys.
Speaker 3We beat him one time, and that was the last game that I don't think it was the last when he played, but it was.
Speaker 1It was the last.
It was the retirement game that we retired as ass finally beat him.
Uh, Michael Miles, Thank you, Michael.
He says.
Speaker 2Those texts read to me as Larry putting pressure on David to close the deal, and David is unraveling because I believe this is a test to see if he's capable enough to succeed him.
This is straight out of Successions.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, probably.
Yeah.
That show is hilarious.
That show is much more truth than people want to accept.
Shut up.
Speaker 2Ralph says, hey, y'all be careful out there.
It's a dangerous world.
I almost got kidnapped by seaman demon on thirst.
Speaker 1Not a seaman demon, a seman demon.
Speaker 3That was the funniest line maybe in all of movies this year because it was so earnest and so concerned.
Speaker 1Yeah, I was.
Speaker 3I was almost taken over by this.
This even a seman demon like like he meant that ship.
Speaker 2So because because for those of you who don't know, that's that actor is Jim Downey who wrote on SNL for three decades and there's a documentary on him on NBC Peacock.
If you think that line was funny, watch that documentary.
Speaker 1He's a very funny guy.
Speaker 2Frand Has three fourteen says Ellison's be like Sheriff you forte justice ain't no way, no way You're gonna come from my loins, dads and their disappointing sons upon time.
Speaker 1Let's too ram band uh Vezwana.
Speaker 2Three sixteen is whoever is the Democratic president needs to look at the Roosevelt Playbook and shadow the fuck out of these monopolies.
Speaker 1There has to be something better.
Oh, I don't disagree.
How do you shadow a monopoly?
Though?
Aftering merds for a certain period of time.
Speaker 2At the time when Teddy did it, he was able to use the courts and the and him being in power, his party being in power to pass legislation that shattered like US Steel and Standard Oil.
I think it was, and he would show up as picket lines.
Uh, the President, he would show up there.
So I mean there's possibilities.
But it's a different world out there now.
Yeah, masters best show on TV?
I love Blackbird and Pluribus.
Yeah, Purbus is great.
I haven't started Plurabus yet.
I don't know what's your best show on TV?
Speaker 1Man right now?
Speaker 3I get right now, I guess Stranger Things, yeah, right now?
Because I because I because because obviously there's been a lot that have gone on throughout the year.
But I'd have to sit and think about the sum total of all of the shows on the year, Like I'm doing a breakdown of my top media of the year.
Uh, I could do a couple of videos.
It's a little tease for the promo later.
But I but yeah, I I don't know Stranger Things currently.
Speaker 1I would say that I would agree with that.
Uh, shut up?
Rows is Hugo Weaving is my brainiac or Chu of course Hugo Weaving.
Yeah, Hugo he be interesting.
Mister super mister Superman.
It could be Kalil, the last son of Krypton.
You see what I did to your planet?
Speaker 2Uh, Christer Leo two says the game awards are in two days, and a good leaker has come out and said we were getting a Star Wars game with the Old Republic in the name your thoughts, I'd be great.
Speaker 1I think people very Are they doing a Kotor remake or what's what's going on?
I'm curious.
Speaker 2Hey, I should ask Kevin Simets and see what he thinks about that situation, because I know he'd be really excited to see that.
Speaker 1Yeah.
I wouldn't be surprised if they opened the door of the Old Republic.
They need to go somewhere.
I have too.
Speaker 2For Like, as Miami elects the first Democratic mayor in thirty years, Wow, wow that happened tonight.
Speaker 1Wow.
Okay, good for them, there you go.
Speaker 2Hell yeah, so much winning, Yeah, Democratics and a thirty year losing streak as Miami.
In Miami, as a Trump back candidate falls short to Democratic Eileen Higgins, who is now he repeated, she defeated Republican Emidia Gonzales.
Speaker 3And she is now the mayor of Miami.
Damn respect right, dude, I mean what?
And then Tennessee last week barely the Republican barely squeaked out in a district that was very Trump happy.
Look, man, there's again the reason the big push.
You got to try and like I did that video you sent me.
I'm surprised we didn'tend up covering it.
But the idea of trying to get a control of CNN before the primaries.
Speaker 1Right right, We unfortunately were out of time.
Speaker 2Then Christophreo two says they are also going to announce a new two Major game with the Game Awards.
Thoughts have you all ever played or seen those two Major games and movies?
I played a lot of Two Major games.
One of my ex girl friends way back in the old days, Jamie Jean, she was a massive Tom Mader fan, so we would play.
We would got We bought the new two Mader game and sat there all weekend and played it until we won it.
So yeah, she was a big, big person.
So I like those games.
They're fun.
Speaker 3Uh.
The only one I played was the the remake kind of Launched one where like she's shipwrecked and then she's like hiding from pilates and shit on the island.
Speaker 1Played that the more recent that Retelling Origin story.
I didn't.
Speaker 3Yeah, I played random levels of the original games because I didn't have a PlayStation.
I did a Nintendo sixty four, so it would be when I went over a friend's house, right.
Speaker 1Right, Yeah, those are good games.
The movies.
Speaker 2Jared j a forty six remake of Tom Hanks classics The Burbs is happening in Peacock as a series saw.
The trailer for me personally does not look good.
We just keep remaking everything instead of making new shit.
I think it's Kicky.
Speaker 1Palmer in that one.
I think I think Oh is it?
I think so?
I think so.
We'll see.
Okay, all right, let's send some stream labs here before we roll on out of here.
Speaker 2Fantastic says hello tequila spillers, showing love for my dudes.
Thank you, Fred Than when I'll hear when I when I hear the phrase hostile takeover, I expect to see Michael J.
Fox and the guys from the mailroom entering the room.
Ellison acts like the spoiled YouTube kid I grew up with when they didn't get their way.
Damn damn, Doug developer says Tea.
To be honest, CNN did this to themselves.
Corporate greed at CNN absurdly, both sides every issue, having in Saint Jerry Springer like debates to Jake Tapper and company being absolute cowards with their unbalanced coverages.
Independent media will become the mainstream and as far as in the media goes, I recommend The Bulwark, the Lincoln Project, Don Lemon, Jim Acosta, and the I've had It ladies, pro democracy, people from different racial, gender and political perspectives.
What are some of your favorites?
You just listed all of them, and I'm a big bit of Hasan Madi.
Speaker 3Is it dame media asn That's why I was going to say, that's who I was going to suggest.
Speaker 1Yeah, the Bullwark is great.
Don Lemon is great, I've had it.
I love the Ladies.
Speaker 2Jennifer Welch over there, she's so good.
So yeah, big big fan of all those people.
I'm people like MS.
Speaker 1The Seattle versus the Pats is my super Bowl prediction a rematch where we make things right, damn it.
What's your prediction?
Also?
Speaker 2TV show of the decade?
Someone over there is pretty bright.
I guess Andrew still haunts me.
Speaker 1Just so excellent.
Speaker 3I agree the Rams are gonna in my opinion, they're going to walk into the super Bowl.
I have no idea what the AFC.
It's two up in the air.
It could be the Pats.
But I don't necessarily trust Drake.
Drake Man has played fantastic an MVP candidate, but I haven't seen him in the playoffs yet, so, like I can't.
I always get a little nervous about just saying yeah, sure because the playoffs.
Think about what Dak did, Like Dak technically did really well that first year, won that first game, but then we came up against the Packers and he didn't even play bad in that game.
It just Aaron Rodgers did Aaron Rodgers things, and you got that like last minute, like fifty five yard kick from whoever Crosby that you just couldn't do anything about.
I until I see him in the playoffs, I don't know.
I don't necessarily trust Bownecks.
Even though bot Nix at least has a playoff win, Bills look terrible that she's probably not gonna make it.
The Ravens probably aren't gonna make it.
The Steelers, even if they end up winning it there, they're like so all the perennial like winners are not even gonna be there.
Who knows what Philip Rivers is going to do for the Colts.
Staying that in twenty twenty five, I just I The only thing I feel pretty comfortable about is I think the Rams have it for the NFC.
I think they're too well rounded and I and I don't trust Sam Donald.
I feel like Sam Donald will do the same thing he did in Minnesota.
He'll get you to the playoffs and then he'll ship the bed because he admitted he was in primetime he was horrible.
Speaker 1Yeah, that's true.
I have a dark horse.
I have the Texans as my Super Bowl pick right now.
Speaker 2I think that I don't.
I think they're rounding into form.
CJ is looking good again, and that defense looks best defensive league all dogs, the mauling people.
Speaker 3The best defense in the league.
I don't hate that.
When you again, if you're dealing with these teams where the quarterbacks are untrustworthy or the quarterbacks are the sole weapon, that's the type of team that could.
Speaker 1Go in and like cause chaos.
Speaker 2Yeah, and they have no I mean they're playing the Cardinals, the Raiders, the Chargers, and the Colts.
Those are all winnable games, and they could be twelve and five by the end of the year.
Speaker 1So you trust me, you trust the Texans defense more than the Broncos.
I do, Yeah, because I think Bo Nicks is shakier than C.
J.
Stroud.
Speaker 3Okay, and so I would think.
So it's less you think that the defenses are comparable.
Should you just think that if I had, if you had to pick your quarterback, you're taking Stroud over Nicks.
Speaker 1Yes, yes, that's the difference.
There us have a better weapon.
Speaker 3I would argue that the Nico Collins clears any of the receivers in Denver.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, very much.
So.
All right, well let's wrap it up there.
