• WEBVTT 00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:13.800 What's up, friends? Welcome into another episode 00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:16.440 of Tables, Tailgates, and Toploaders. So happy 00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:19.260 to have you aboard for this episode. I am your 00:00:19.260 --> 00:00:21.379 host, TB. I want to thank you all so very much 00:00:21.379 --> 00:00:23.500 for stopping in and checking out the three Ts. 00:00:23.620 --> 00:00:26.780 Now, first off, an apology. This episode, normally 00:00:26.780 --> 00:00:28.800 I try to get the episodes out Monday or Tuesday 00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:31.559 of the week, and obviously there's been a delay. 00:00:31.699 --> 00:00:34.020 So I'm going to give everyone out there a little 00:00:34.020 --> 00:00:37.299 piece of advice. Please don't schedule a Lumineers 00:00:37.299 --> 00:00:39.719 concert two hours away from where you live the 00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:41.979 night before you drive. I have six hours to get 00:00:41.979 --> 00:00:44.579 to Buffalo for the home opener against the Ravens 00:00:44.579 --> 00:00:47.780 because it makes for an incredibly long, tiring 00:00:47.780 --> 00:00:50.920 weekend. But here I am. I apologize for the delay. 00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:53.920 I am so excited to dive right in. There's so 00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:56.640 much to get to, so much to talk about. So let's 00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:00.079 not waste any more time. Bills, Mafia, how the 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.420 heck are we feeling after that absolutely insane, 00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:07.939 incredible, amazing victory on Sunday night in 00:01:07.939 --> 00:01:11.629 Orchard Park against... Probably the best team 00:01:11.629 --> 00:01:13.790 we're going to see in the AFC, the Baltimore 00:01:13.790 --> 00:01:16.370 Ravens. Absolutely crazy. I have so many thoughts 00:01:16.370 --> 00:01:19.349 on this game, so much to discuss. First and foremost, 00:01:19.510 --> 00:01:22.569 overall, the atmosphere was insane. The crowd 00:01:22.569 --> 00:01:26.969 was jacked. It was so freaking loud in there 00:01:26.969 --> 00:01:29.969 the first time the Ravens got the ball. It was 00:01:29.969 --> 00:01:32.989 just crazy. My ears were actually hurting with 00:01:32.989 --> 00:01:36.549 how loud at least the section where we were sitting 00:01:36.549 --> 00:01:40.599 was. Normally, we were in 137. We got the opportunity 00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:43.340 to upgrade our seats, so we moved into 135 this 00:01:43.340 --> 00:01:47.099 year. It was awesome to be. I didn't think moving 00:01:47.099 --> 00:01:49.719 two sections to the right was going to have that 00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:52.500 big of an impact on the viewing experience, but 00:01:52.500 --> 00:01:54.739 we went from sitting on about the five -yard 00:01:54.739 --> 00:01:57.739 line to the 25, and let me tell you, it makes 00:01:57.739 --> 00:02:00.280 a world of difference. But anyway, let's start 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:02.909 off with some general thoughts on the game. The 00:02:02.909 --> 00:02:05.590 Bills obviously received the kick, and they then 00:02:05.590 --> 00:02:07.590 proceed to march all the way down the field. 00:02:07.670 --> 00:02:11.569 First drive, touchdown to Dalton Kincaid, and 00:02:11.569 --> 00:02:13.650 it was great. They looked awesome. They marched 00:02:13.650 --> 00:02:16.629 right down the field. Then they kick off, and 00:02:16.629 --> 00:02:19.389 like I said, the crowd was freaking jacked. It 00:02:19.389 --> 00:02:21.909 was so loud in there. The Ravens moved the ball 00:02:21.909 --> 00:02:24.599 a little bit, but then they... Stutter once they 00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:27.219 get to the Buffalo side of the 50. The third 00:02:27.219 --> 00:02:30.759 down is stopped by the incredible Ed Oliver sack 00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:33.740 on Lamar. And it forces him into a field goal. 00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:37.840 Now, to their credit, they got a new rookie kicker. 00:02:37.860 --> 00:02:41.199 This loop kid crushes a 52 -yarder right off 00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:44.360 the bat. So props. I'm like, oh, wow, this kid. 00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:47.080 Justin who? Justin Tucker who? Like, you don't 00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:49.960 need him. You got this dude who's smashing it. 00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:54.699 His debut. week one kick from 51 or 52 yards 00:02:54.699 --> 00:02:58.599 but and then the absolute wheels fell off the 00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.439 car and i don't know what the heck what the heck 00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:03.520 happened for the next few drives because it's 00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:05.639 like and all i could think about was like you 00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:09.060 know it's it's a nice sunday afternoon and yeah 00:03:09.060 --> 00:03:12.669 you got a nice shiny sports car in the garage 00:03:12.669 --> 00:03:15.050 right and you turn to your wife your significant 00:03:15.050 --> 00:03:16.990 other and you're like hey you want to go take 00:03:16.990 --> 00:03:20.629 a drive a couple hours away to a town over and 00:03:20.629 --> 00:03:23.409 we'll go have a nice lunch or dinner what have 00:03:23.409 --> 00:03:25.349 you and we'll spend the day we'll put the top 00:03:25.349 --> 00:03:28.189 down it'll be great well i feel like the bills 00:03:28.189 --> 00:03:30.710 decided to take the car out and then five miles 00:03:30.710 --> 00:03:32.909 into their trip they decided to park it on the 00:03:32.909 --> 00:03:35.569 side of the road and call some stupid uber to 00:03:35.569 --> 00:03:38.550 go and pick them up because or they hitchhiked 00:03:38.550 --> 00:03:39.990 the rest of the way because i'm like what the 00:03:39.990 --> 00:03:43.550 hell are you doing You're not letting the best 00:03:43.550 --> 00:03:45.530 player in the league actually play football. 00:03:45.729 --> 00:03:49.610 The play calling took a decidedly negative turn 00:03:49.610 --> 00:03:52.530 and it was absolutely terrible. The fans in my 00:03:52.530 --> 00:03:55.509 section, including myself, we were turning around 00:03:55.509 --> 00:03:58.430 looking, trying to find Joe Brady because we're 00:03:58.430 --> 00:04:00.590 on that side of the field. We're trying to find 00:04:00.590 --> 00:04:04.680 Joe Brady. His play calling was. atrocious and 00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:08.020 so all the anger and animosity and at least in 00:04:08.020 --> 00:04:09.939 my section the people around me were screaming 00:04:09.939 --> 00:04:12.580 at joe brady to get his head out of his ass and 00:04:12.580 --> 00:04:15.020 it was just insane the dinks the dunks the screens 00:04:15.020 --> 00:04:18.459 like we have a lamborghini sitting in the garage 00:04:18.459 --> 00:04:21.379 and we are wanting to take an uber and it doesn't 00:04:21.379 --> 00:04:24.660 make any freaking sense and so it gets it got 00:04:24.660 --> 00:04:28.389 me thinking All this talk we spent in the offseason 00:04:28.389 --> 00:04:31.870 about Joe Brady and, oh, is he going to get a 00:04:31.870 --> 00:04:34.430 full -time head coaching job? Is he going to 00:04:34.430 --> 00:04:37.490 go somewhere else? Do we really know? Do we really, 00:04:37.529 --> 00:04:40.370 really know that Joe Brady is good? Or is it 00:04:40.370 --> 00:04:43.230 simply Josh Allen has continued to elevate his 00:04:43.230 --> 00:04:46.930 play so much that he masks so many weaknesses? 00:04:47.170 --> 00:04:50.810 So whether he covers up for having a true number 00:04:50.810 --> 00:04:53.649 one, whether he covers up for the defense, whether 00:04:53.649 --> 00:04:55.829 he covers up for the offensive play calling, 00:04:56.009 --> 00:04:58.569 what's really going on here? Because let me tell 00:04:58.569 --> 00:05:00.449 you, folks, we are witnessing one of the greatest 00:05:00.449 --> 00:05:03.209 players in my lifetime that I've ever seen play 00:05:03.209 --> 00:05:05.389 the game. I don't know what they're doing. with 00:05:05.389 --> 00:05:08.110 trying to slow the game down and the ball control. 00:05:08.209 --> 00:05:11.430 The goal each and every Sunday or whenever we 00:05:11.430 --> 00:05:14.430 take the field should be 40 points. That's my 00:05:14.430 --> 00:05:18.629 opinion. It should be pedal to the metal, strive 00:05:18.629 --> 00:05:21.230 to be the highest scoring team in the league 00:05:21.230 --> 00:05:24.310 because you have the reigning MVP. Don't slow 00:05:24.310 --> 00:05:27.110 the game down. What are you doing? Don't take 00:05:27.110 --> 00:05:30.430 your foot off the gas. We have players on offense 00:05:30.430 --> 00:05:34.730 who can run up tempo. Do it. Stop screwing around. 00:05:35.050 --> 00:05:38.670 Stop trying to overthink everything. Use the 00:05:38.670 --> 00:05:41.889 MVP, Josh Allen, to the best of his ability and 00:05:41.889 --> 00:05:45.199 freaking go for it. You're... Your thought process 00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:47.759 as the offensive coordinator, as the head coach, 00:05:47.939 --> 00:05:51.259 should be to stomp on the necks of your opponent. 00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:54.980 Don't keep teams in games. Don't allow the defense 00:05:54.980 --> 00:05:57.339 to catch their breath. March up and down the 00:05:57.339 --> 00:06:00.660 field each and every time and go for the jugular. 00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:04.360 I would rather take risks than to watch the crap 00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:08.199 that was put out there, the three to four drives 00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:11.459 after the first touchdown, because I'm like, 00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:14.839 what the hell is this this is not what we are 00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:16.899 we all know how the game end and and i'm going 00:06:16.899 --> 00:06:18.779 to kind of jump around a little bit but that 00:06:18.779 --> 00:06:22.279 was that was frustrating to have it activated 00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:25.240 wait wait so long into the game to actually change 00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:27.480 the mentality of the play calling to go full 00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:30.699 attack mode because clearly when we have to go 00:06:30.699 --> 00:06:32.939 into that mode we've seen it time and time again 00:06:33.579 --> 00:06:36.120 He's capable of doing it. He's capable of leading 00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:38.899 this team, this offense, drive after drive of 00:06:38.899 --> 00:06:41.240 scoring opportunities. He's capable, and we have 00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:43.920 the horses. So I don't want to hear this, well, 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:46.259 we got to slow the game down because our defense 00:06:46.259 --> 00:06:49.120 is going to get stomped. No, go for the jugular. 00:06:49.180 --> 00:06:52.600 Go try to score every single time you have the 00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:55.759 ball. Your goal should be to score 40 freaking 00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.699 points. Do not let off the gas for 60 minutes. 00:06:59.550 --> 00:07:02.269 You score, it allows your defense to then play 00:07:02.269 --> 00:07:04.490 a little looser, allow them to take chances, 00:07:04.569 --> 00:07:07.250 not worry that they have to stop them each and 00:07:07.250 --> 00:07:09.790 every time. I'd rather have a defense that goes 00:07:09.790 --> 00:07:13.629 and plays super aggressive than to sit back and 00:07:13.629 --> 00:07:16.290 literally get gashed like we saw Sunday night. 00:07:16.389 --> 00:07:20.509 It was terrible. It was terrible. Now, as I said 00:07:20.509 --> 00:07:24.230 in my week one preview, I do think this defense 00:07:24.230 --> 00:07:26.790 is going to be. very different in the second 00:07:26.790 --> 00:07:29.029 half of the season. We have a lot of people either 00:07:29.029 --> 00:07:31.430 injured or suspended that are going to come back 00:07:31.430 --> 00:07:33.790 and make an impact on this team. So I do think 00:07:33.790 --> 00:07:36.050 the second half of the season, you're going to 00:07:36.050 --> 00:07:39.089 see so many new pieces, and I want to try to 00:07:39.089 --> 00:07:42.990 hold off on ripping the team to shreds, the defensive 00:07:42.990 --> 00:07:47.889 side of the ball to shreds, but oh my God, it's 00:07:47.889 --> 00:07:49.990 going to be tough to do, folks. It's going to 00:07:49.990 --> 00:07:51.670 be tough to do. I want to give them a little 00:07:51.670 --> 00:07:54.449 grace here because I also think the Ravens are 00:07:54.449 --> 00:07:57.389 one of the top, what, one to three offensive 00:07:57.389 --> 00:08:00.110 teams in the entire league. I think that they 00:08:00.110 --> 00:08:03.569 are capable of dropping 35 points every week 00:08:03.569 --> 00:08:06.170 without really trying. And my other point is, 00:08:06.230 --> 00:08:08.850 I don't think our defense matches up with them. 00:08:08.910 --> 00:08:11.519 I would rather play. As crazy as this sounds, 00:08:11.579 --> 00:08:13.459 I think we have a better chance of beating the 00:08:13.459 --> 00:08:15.579 Chiefs on a consistent basis than we do of beating 00:08:15.579 --> 00:08:18.199 the Ravens because I don't think we match up 00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:20.860 with them very well at all. This idea that we 00:08:20.860 --> 00:08:24.360 have found the game plan to contain Lamar, that's 00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:28.019 out the window. That was three, four years ago. 00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:30.759 Yeah, before we used to shut him down and he 00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:32.820 couldn't do anything. Now he can literally do 00:08:32.820 --> 00:08:34.799 whatever the hell he wants and there's no stopping 00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:38.379 him or Derrick Henry, who is an absolute... train 00:08:38.379 --> 00:08:41.039 wreck and he gashed us crazy when you're when 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:44.960 you're averaging 10 almost 10 yards a carry you 00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:47.200 got a problem you got a problem I felt like I 00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:49.639 was watching a game where they were playing with 00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:52.159 an extra man that's how easy it was for them 00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:55.320 to move the ball he's literally gaining a first 00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:58.000 down every time every time he he got the ball 00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:00.759 obviously I'm seeing it in person and then I 00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:02.919 go home and over the last few days I've re -watched 00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:04.820 this game I've re -watched portions of this game 00:09:04.820 --> 00:09:08.399 numerous times and Boy, I got to tell you, I 00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:11.720 hate to do it, but the linebackers, one of the 00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:15.919 things I noticed in person was Bernard. Terrell 00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:20.399 Bernard was terrible. And my suspicions were 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:23.320 confirmed when I went back and I watched the 00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:25.919 actual broadcast because there were so many times 00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:29.500 that he wasn't even paying attention. He didn't 00:09:29.500 --> 00:09:32.659 even have his eyes on the offensive side of the 00:09:32.659 --> 00:09:35.779 ball when the ball was snapped. I went back and 00:09:35.779 --> 00:09:38.679 I rewatched it. He's calling out. So what the 00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:41.399 Bills do is they do all this shifting and pre 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:43.659 -snap reads and they're constantly making adjustments. 00:09:43.860 --> 00:09:46.200 I almost think it's too much. It's too much because 00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:48.559 what the Ravens were doing was they would literally 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:50.879 get to the line of scrimmage and they would quick 00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:54.480 snap it. And Bernard, there were numerous times 00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:56.820 where Bernard and Milano are like looking around 00:09:56.820 --> 00:09:59.220 in a different direction and the ball is in play. 00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:03.279 And so instantly they are. flat -footed they're 00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:05.620 off guard they're not ready for the play to to 00:10:05.620 --> 00:10:10.399 begin and it led to them getting gashed so i'm 00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:14.960 watching two well -respected highly touted linebackers 00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:18.399 in the national football league just look completely 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:21.139 lost and it was very disheartening so yeah we 00:10:21.139 --> 00:10:23.990 all want to sit here and bash Cole Bishop and 00:10:23.990 --> 00:10:26.789 the safeties and the cornerbacks. And I'm not 00:10:26.789 --> 00:10:29.350 saying they were great, but when your middle 00:10:29.350 --> 00:10:31.929 line of defense, your linebackers aren't even 00:10:31.929 --> 00:10:35.490 ready to play the snap, it really puts everything 00:10:35.490 --> 00:10:38.169 behind the eight ball. We saw Cole Bishop get 00:10:38.169 --> 00:10:40.690 posterized and that's going to be on all the 00:10:40.690 --> 00:10:42.970 highlights for the entire year. Him getting laid 00:10:42.970 --> 00:10:45.730 out by Henry and stiff -armed and all that nonsense. 00:10:46.009 --> 00:10:48.830 But I really think some of his teammates did. 00:10:49.259 --> 00:10:51.960 did the secondary a complete disservice. Obviously, 00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:53.919 we had no Trey White. Obviously, we're missing 00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:57.320 Maxwell Harrison. So trying really hard not to 00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:00.179 rush to judgment, but it wasn't good. It wasn't 00:11:00.179 --> 00:11:02.480 good. The Ravens are just doing whatever they 00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:06.399 want to the Bills. It was crazy. And then, obviously, 00:11:06.659 --> 00:11:09.039 the fourth quarter happens. What I found when 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:11.960 I rewatched the game was quite interesting because 00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:13.860 you don't see this stuff when you're actually 00:11:13.860 --> 00:11:16.159 there. But the third quarter, as the third quarter's 00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:18.399 winding down and the fourth quarter starts, On 00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:21.120 the broadcast, you can see the faces and the 00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:23.519 attitudes of all the Raven players on the sideline. 00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:25.820 And the camera was zooming in on certain individuals. 00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:28.080 And they're joking and they're laughing and they're 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.299 carrying on. I know at one point, say Flowers 00:11:31.299 --> 00:11:33.580 is doing the wave to the crowd and almost like 00:11:33.580 --> 00:11:35.240 taunting them. Not really. And we're going to 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:37.080 get to the crowd nonsense in a little while here. 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:40.340 But it's almost like that they thought the game 00:11:40.340 --> 00:11:42.539 was completely wrapped up. And I really think 00:11:42.539 --> 00:11:45.139 they let off the gas. It's funny. As I continue 00:11:45.139 --> 00:11:47.960 to watch the playback of the game, their faces 00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:53.470 slowly. incrementally changed as now the Bills 00:11:53.470 --> 00:11:55.970 keep scoring and putting more and more pressure 00:11:55.970 --> 00:11:58.950 on them and suddenly nothing's so fun and jovial 00:11:58.950 --> 00:12:01.470 anymore and oh maybe we should stop screwing 00:12:01.470 --> 00:12:05.169 around and joking and take this seriously and 00:12:05.169 --> 00:12:08.049 oh oh the game's over we just lost and given 00:12:08.049 --> 00:12:10.330 the history of this Ravens team and how many 00:12:10.330 --> 00:12:13.889 times Harbaugh has has been in this situation 00:12:13.889 --> 00:12:17.730 you would think by now that they would have coached 00:12:17.730 --> 00:12:21.629 up for these situations and that was the thing 00:12:21.629 --> 00:12:24.509 the last few possessions at least the last possession 00:12:24.509 --> 00:12:27.090 the Ravens had the ball right before they punted 00:12:27.090 --> 00:12:28.730 on the fourth and three and we could talk about 00:12:28.730 --> 00:12:31.169 that in a minute but what the heck are they doing 00:12:31.169 --> 00:12:33.990 with their play calls you have first round first 00:12:33.990 --> 00:12:37.909 down they run Derrick Henry which is fine and 00:12:37.909 --> 00:12:40.370 he got like three yards the second they do a 00:12:40.370 --> 00:12:44.509 jet sweep to Zay Flowers the whole idea and the 00:12:44.509 --> 00:12:47.980 concept behind the jet sweep is to head towards 00:12:47.980 --> 00:12:52.259 the sideline and then cut up field. Why would 00:12:52.259 --> 00:12:56.000 you even risk that knowing full well that he 00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:57.639 can't go out of bounds because you're going to 00:12:57.639 --> 00:13:00.059 stop the clock. You see Zay Flowers literally 00:13:00.059 --> 00:13:02.799 fall down because he doesn't want to go out of 00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:04.960 bounds and stop the clock. But yet the play call 00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:08.379 forced him to have to do that. It was just a 00:13:08.379 --> 00:13:10.360 terror. I'm watching this going, what the hell 00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:13.059 did they just do? That's one of the worst play 00:13:13.059 --> 00:13:16.059 calls I've ever seen. And to get cute. Right 00:13:16.059 --> 00:13:18.179 then and there in that situation, I thought that 00:13:18.179 --> 00:13:22.279 was one of the worst play calling decisions I've 00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:25.279 ever seen, ever seen. And then obviously third 00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:28.200 down, they throw a pass. They get like four yards 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:29.879 out of it. So now you have a fourth and three. 00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:32.200 And I'm thinking right then and there, they're 00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:35.019 going for it. Had I been a Ravens fan, I would 00:13:35.019 --> 00:13:36.600 have been screaming to the heavens. You better 00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:38.539 go for this. You better go for this. Ice this 00:13:38.539 --> 00:13:42.080 game over right now. You got it. And then they 00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:44.399 punt. And we all know what happens next. Bills 00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:46.559 get the ball, march down the field. They make 00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:49.200 the Ravens use their timeouts. And as the gun 00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:52.340 goes off, 41 -year -old Parader, welcome to the 00:13:52.340 --> 00:13:55.000 team. You hit the game -winning, what was it, 00:13:55.100 --> 00:13:57.740 32 -yard field goal, chip shot, which, by the 00:13:57.740 --> 00:14:01.159 way, was an inch from being blocked. So, so many 00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:04.299 things happened in the last. four or five plays 00:14:04.299 --> 00:14:06.759 of the game it's it's it's unbelievable but the 00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:10.500 play call there on second down was terrible and 00:14:10.500 --> 00:14:13.600 the the decision to punt the ball away right 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:15.279 wrong and different i guess you could argue this 00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:18.240 but come to find out after the game lamar says 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:21.019 post game press conference that he was cramping 00:14:21.289 --> 00:14:24.870 And I'm thinking to myself, you make 50 plus 00:14:24.870 --> 00:14:27.610 million dollars a year and you are actually going 00:14:27.610 --> 00:14:29.370 to tell people that you're cramping? He said, 00:14:29.429 --> 00:14:30.889 well, if I wasn't cramping, I would have been 00:14:30.889 --> 00:14:35.429 advocating that we go for the first down. But 00:14:35.429 --> 00:14:37.490 because I was cramping, what can I do? And I'm 00:14:37.490 --> 00:14:39.389 just like, I'm like, is that the face of your 00:14:39.389 --> 00:14:41.870 franchise? First of all, I would never say that. 00:14:42.169 --> 00:14:44.610 I would be like, I don't care if I got one leg. 00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:47.779 absolutely believe that that's the right call 00:14:47.779 --> 00:14:49.580 as a quarterback, you're going for the play. 00:14:49.700 --> 00:14:51.840 You're going for the first down. Put the game 00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:56.059 away. I don't know. It was crazy. The whole way 00:14:56.059 --> 00:14:59.000 that game changed in the fourth quarter, unbelievable. 00:14:59.299 --> 00:15:01.159 Now, a lot of people are talking after the game 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:03.500 about John Harbaugh and his history with situations 00:15:03.500 --> 00:15:08.340 like this. Obviously, we knew that in NFL history, 00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:10.840 I think the stat was no team has ever come down 00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:14.259 or ever come back. from 15 with four minutes 00:15:14.259 --> 00:15:17.519 left so you had like so many things going for 00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:20.820 against us and at one point you know i think 00:15:20.820 --> 00:15:23.860 i think it was like nine, ten minutes left in 00:15:23.860 --> 00:15:26.139 the fourth quarter, maybe even before that, because 00:15:26.139 --> 00:15:28.519 I knew we were just getting gashed. I turned 00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:30.600 to my wife, who's a diehard Ravens fan, and I 00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:32.460 turned to her and I said, congratulations, you 00:15:32.460 --> 00:15:35.399 all whooped our ass. I had actually come to peace 00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:37.759 with the fact that we were going to lose this 00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:40.080 game. We weren't leaving. I know that there was 00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:41.919 a thought in our minds, hey, let's get out of 00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:44.779 here, but we ultimately decided to stay. But 00:15:44.779 --> 00:15:46.759 I had come to peace with the fact that we were 00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:49.460 going to lose because we couldn't stop them. 00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:54.200 It was just gash after gash. And then obviously, 00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:56.539 you know, do you believe in miracles, right? 00:15:56.600 --> 00:16:00.919 But it's funny making peace with that. I got 00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:03.740 to watch the game unfold without a huge sense 00:16:03.740 --> 00:16:07.279 of tension and calmness and seeing everyone file 00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:09.759 out of the stadium. And we can talk more about 00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:13.320 that here in a minute. It was just a crazy, surreal 00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:15.879 experience to watch that last drive as they're 00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:18.080 coming down the field, putting themselves in 00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:21.000 position. The throw to Jackson Hawes was just 00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:26.039 ridiculous. I know that was the... the series 00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:28.399 before, but it's just play after play after play. 00:16:28.580 --> 00:16:30.559 And I'm reminded, and I'm kind of glad I had 00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:32.720 a few extra days to process this whole game and 00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:34.440 what it means because so many times we've been 00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:35.960 on the losing end of a game like this, right? 00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:38.559 And even looking back at the field goal to win 00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:40.919 it, seeing how close, I think it was Hamilton, 00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:43.980 seeing how close he was to blocking the kick. 00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:46.320 Can you imagine if we come all the way back, 00:16:46.340 --> 00:16:49.679 we have a 32 yard field goal to win it as time 00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:51.799 expires and it's blocked. Can you imagine like 00:16:51.799 --> 00:16:55.779 that? That would be fitting. for bills fans for 00:16:55.779 --> 00:16:58.100 bills mafia knowing the history and how many 00:16:58.100 --> 00:17:01.960 games like this i have seen i remember i remember 00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:05.200 we're leaving and and and driving back and i'm 00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:07.720 thinking about the viking game a few years ago 00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:11.099 that i was with my son at and remembering sitting 00:17:11.099 --> 00:17:14.480 there in total disbelief and we're looking at 00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:17.599 each other like what what just happened so so 00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:19.980 this game's going on and then to actually pull 00:17:19.980 --> 00:17:22.640 this one out and win it it was it was unreal 00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:27.039 And so everyone's celebrating and then Mr. Brightside 00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:30.700 kicks in. And it's just crazy how loud that place 00:17:30.700 --> 00:17:33.099 was and how everyone's singing in unison. And 00:17:33.099 --> 00:17:35.700 you see Dawson Knox and Dalton Kincaid right 00:17:35.700 --> 00:17:39.339 around the field carrying on with the Mr. Brightside. 00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:42.099 It was just unreal. I've never been at a sporting 00:17:42.099 --> 00:17:45.039 event like this before in my life. I probably 00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:48.500 never will. And watching it back on TV, it was 00:17:48.500 --> 00:17:52.359 very surreal knowing I had been in the stadium. 00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:56.440 What? a few hours earlier. So just crazy, crazy, 00:17:56.579 --> 00:17:59.319 crazy game. But I keep going back to this and 00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:02.740 I talked about it in a podcast earlier. I talked 00:18:02.740 --> 00:18:05.420 about not taking this season for granted and 00:18:05.420 --> 00:18:09.339 actually enjoying it and enjoying and appreciating 00:18:09.339 --> 00:18:14.680 what we have because Josh Allen is a unicorn. 00:18:14.859 --> 00:18:19.940 He is a very special once in a generation talent 00:18:19.940 --> 00:18:23.259 that we are never going to see again. Bills fans, 00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:27.599 I beg you, do not take this for granted. Every 00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:30.680 time he takes the field, magic can happen. And 00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:33.099 it usually does happen. And the way he leads 00:18:33.099 --> 00:18:36.619 this team, whether we want to think they're good 00:18:36.619 --> 00:18:39.740 or not, it's kind of irrelevant. We get to see 00:18:39.740 --> 00:18:44.079 him lead the team we love for a portion of our 00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:47.700 lives. I think it's super important to just enjoy 00:18:47.700 --> 00:18:50.200 it. So we finally got out on the good side of 00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:53.200 this game. I'm hoping that this is the catalyst 00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:58.500 for an amazing season. And yeah, what a game, 00:18:58.579 --> 00:19:01.359 what a game. But some of the X factors that I 00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:03.539 talked about in the week one preview, Dalton 00:19:03.539 --> 00:19:06.880 Kincaid, I mentioned him. He played real well. 00:19:07.289 --> 00:19:09.650 I know some of the concern coming into the season 00:19:09.650 --> 00:19:11.970 was his ability to block. And looking at the 00:19:11.970 --> 00:19:14.730 tape and watching him play, he played great. 00:19:14.869 --> 00:19:17.829 I think he played great. He had absolute key 00:19:17.829 --> 00:19:21.630 catches. The play before the half to set up the 00:19:21.630 --> 00:19:24.829 field goal with less than a second to go was 00:19:24.829 --> 00:19:27.130 unbelievable. Unbelievable throw, unbelievable 00:19:27.130 --> 00:19:30.450 catch, way to get out of bounds. So his numbers 00:19:30.450 --> 00:19:33.369 weren't amazing, like eye -popping, but four 00:19:33.369 --> 00:19:37.109 for 48 and a tutty. What a game. That was great. 00:19:37.210 --> 00:19:39.269 I thought he played well. I hope that this is 00:19:39.269 --> 00:19:41.710 the start of good things to come for him. Super 00:19:41.710 --> 00:19:44.990 excited to see what he does next. My other X 00:19:44.990 --> 00:19:47.190 factor I thought on the defensive side was Joey 00:19:47.190 --> 00:19:50.569 Bosa. Now in the stadium, I thought he played 00:19:50.569 --> 00:19:53.910 like complete. garbage there were clear plays 00:19:53.910 --> 00:19:58.130 that he got toasted by Lamar toasted now re -watching 00:19:58.130 --> 00:20:00.210 the game he still got toasted on those plays 00:20:00.210 --> 00:20:02.369 so don't get me don't get me wrong don't misunderstand 00:20:02.369 --> 00:20:05.490 me but I don't think he played as bad as I initially 00:20:05.490 --> 00:20:10.329 thought I thought he played okay and um I'm hoping 00:20:10.329 --> 00:20:13.109 it's a sign that uh that he's gonna have a good 00:20:13.109 --> 00:20:15.430 solid season I think like I said if he could 00:20:15.430 --> 00:20:18.160 stay healthy He'll keep learning the system and 00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:20.119 keep doing his thing. And as his defense gels, 00:20:20.259 --> 00:20:23.579 I think he's going to be a huge factor for us. 00:20:23.640 --> 00:20:27.240 Ed Oliver, what can I say? The dude was clearly 00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:30.380 by far the best defensive player on both sides 00:20:30.380 --> 00:20:32.359 of the ball. Both sides of the ball. He was an 00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:35.099 absolute beast. I've never seen him play that 00:20:35.099 --> 00:20:38.200 good before. It was great. Just a crazy. crazy 00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:40.539 game for him and then of course josh allen i 00:20:40.539 --> 00:20:42.880 know i didn't talk about him in the week one 00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:45.339 preview but like i said appreciate what you're 00:20:45.339 --> 00:20:48.920 watching 33 of 46 for 394 and two touchdowns 00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:51.119 uh through the air and two on the ground and 00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:53.500 in the fourth quarter alone 250 yards and two 00:20:53.500 --> 00:20:55.960 touchdowns in the fourth quarter alone there 00:20:55.960 --> 00:20:58.480 are quarterbacks numerous quarterbacks in week 00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:01.559 one who didn't do this in the entire game so 00:21:01.559 --> 00:21:05.079 oh my god this guy is just Every time you think 00:21:05.079 --> 00:21:07.579 he can't set the bar any higher, he goes ahead 00:21:07.579 --> 00:21:12.779 and smashes it. So just appreciate every opportunity 00:21:12.779 --> 00:21:15.160 you get to watch him. Don't take it for granted. 00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:17.259 Now, a couple other things I want to talk about. 00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:20.160 Just the whole experience there. The stadium, 00:21:20.259 --> 00:21:23.460 like sound guy slash video board operator. I 00:21:23.460 --> 00:21:25.970 don't know what the hell was going on, but. They 00:21:25.970 --> 00:21:29.690 were not good. Not good, Bob. At one point when 00:21:29.690 --> 00:21:32.670 we had the penalty on the extra point and then 00:21:32.670 --> 00:21:35.009 the two -point conversion and that got called 00:21:35.009 --> 00:21:38.049 back and it was like they kept playing the Bills 00:21:38.049 --> 00:21:40.269 shout song over and over again. I'm like, what 00:21:40.269 --> 00:21:42.009 the hell are you doing? Are you paying attention 00:21:42.009 --> 00:21:44.289 to anything that's happening in the actual game 00:21:44.289 --> 00:21:46.609 or you just have to... have to play this song 00:21:46.609 --> 00:21:49.029 because at some point, I love the shout song. 00:21:49.190 --> 00:21:51.250 I love it so much. We actually incorporated it 00:21:51.250 --> 00:21:54.769 into our wedding at the end and during the dance 00:21:54.769 --> 00:22:00.019 portion. There's parts of the game that you got 00:22:00.019 --> 00:22:02.599 to stop with the shout song. We don't need it 00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:05.140 50 ,000 times. I love it. I love singing it. 00:22:05.259 --> 00:22:08.180 But read the room here, people. Chill with the 00:22:08.180 --> 00:22:10.640 shout song. And then the video board. I don't 00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:12.740 know what they were doing. Every time I look 00:22:12.740 --> 00:22:15.160 up, it's an advertisement for FanDuel. And I'm 00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:18.539 like, what is going on? Can you show replays? 00:22:18.539 --> 00:22:20.880 Can you actually put something worthwhile on 00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:23.920 the screen so the people in the stadium can see 00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:26.500 what the hell is going on? It was crazy. It was 00:22:26.500 --> 00:22:30.170 crazy. Let's talk about a couple of the elephants 00:22:30.170 --> 00:22:32.910 in the room. Now, a lot of people obviously left 00:22:32.910 --> 00:22:36.369 this game. And I will never fault someone who 00:22:36.369 --> 00:22:38.490 wants to leave an event, whether it's a sporting 00:22:38.490 --> 00:22:41.569 event, some sort of entertainment. Look, you 00:22:41.569 --> 00:22:43.690 pay your hard -earned money. You buy that ticket. 00:22:43.789 --> 00:22:47.150 You get in that stadium. You are free to leave 00:22:47.150 --> 00:22:50.930 when you see fit. There was a time that I had 00:22:50.930 --> 00:22:54.210 thought about it. Maybe we should get the hell 00:22:54.210 --> 00:22:56.910 out of here because we are getting our... butts 00:22:56.910 --> 00:22:59.289 kicked and my buddy mike thought about it too 00:22:59.289 --> 00:23:01.109 he's like i kind of wanted to get out of here 00:23:01.109 --> 00:23:03.829 so i don't begrudge anyone for leaving and i 00:23:03.829 --> 00:23:07.269 know josh made some comments after the the game 00:23:07.269 --> 00:23:09.250 was over and he kind of doubled down on that 00:23:09.250 --> 00:23:12.009 and he said y 'all need to have some faith i 00:23:12.009 --> 00:23:14.849 get where he's coming from i do because i really 00:23:14.849 --> 00:23:18.130 i don't think it's from a place of malice i think 00:23:18.130 --> 00:23:22.029 what he's trying to tell you bills mafia is i'm 00:23:22.029 --> 00:23:24.569 going to give you everything i got each and every 00:23:24.569 --> 00:23:27.539 game We might not always win, but I'm going to 00:23:27.539 --> 00:23:30.799 lay it all out there for you no matter what happens. 00:23:31.180 --> 00:23:34.880 And so him saying have some faith, yeah, it was 00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:37.559 probably the first time seeing that situation 00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:40.980 because, what, they didn't lose a game in Orchard 00:23:40.980 --> 00:23:43.259 Park last year. And so here we are, home opener. 00:23:43.460 --> 00:23:45.920 And some of the other factors people got to understand, 00:23:46.079 --> 00:23:48.170 right? Sunday night, the game didn't get over 00:23:48.170 --> 00:23:50.910 until almost midnight. What was it, 1130, 1140? 00:23:51.009 --> 00:23:53.569 The game gets over. It's Sunday. It's a school 00:23:53.569 --> 00:23:55.869 night. People work. The traffic, let me tell 00:23:55.869 --> 00:23:58.349 you, coming into Orchard Park Sunday, we got 00:23:58.349 --> 00:24:00.509 there probably around 2 o 'clock coming into 00:24:00.509 --> 00:24:02.710 town, and we had a couple things to do around 00:24:02.710 --> 00:24:05.650 town before we started tailgating. There were 00:24:05.650 --> 00:24:09.029 people tailgating since 8, 9 a .m. Like that's 00:24:09.029 --> 00:24:11.230 a long freaking day. And we drove in, like I 00:24:11.230 --> 00:24:13.470 said, our drive in is about six hours. And then 00:24:13.470 --> 00:24:16.329 we tailgate until roughly seven, walk into the 00:24:16.329 --> 00:24:20.029 stadium. And now it's suddenly 11, 1130. You're 00:24:20.029 --> 00:24:23.910 freaking tired. So I get it. But let's not crap 00:24:23.910 --> 00:24:27.109 on the fans that left because everybody has their 00:24:27.109 --> 00:24:29.410 own story. Everyone has their own scenario. In 00:24:29.410 --> 00:24:32.089 my opinion, them leaving and then missing out. 00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:34.319 was probably the worst punishment that they could 00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:36.660 ever have. So we don't need to crap on them. 00:24:37.059 --> 00:24:39.339 Everyone's got their own deal, whether it's travel 00:24:39.339 --> 00:24:42.039 time, day of the week, that kind of stuff. Like 00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:44.599 I said, hard earned money. Y 'all can, can choose 00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:47.079 to leave, come and go as you see fit. Now what 00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:49.140 you can't do, this is the other elephant in the 00:24:49.140 --> 00:24:50.740 room. What you can't do is put your hands on 00:24:50.740 --> 00:24:53.539 the players. So the clown who decided to hit 00:24:53.539 --> 00:24:56.420 the hop and then double down on it. And then 00:24:56.420 --> 00:24:58.319 I know the one that the hop was kind of just 00:24:58.319 --> 00:25:01.059 like a tap on the helmet. So that was. whatever 00:25:01.059 --> 00:25:03.819 but then the whole lamar thing where he's shoving 00:25:03.819 --> 00:25:06.039 the guy and then lamar retaliates and literally 00:25:06.039 --> 00:25:09.640 gives him a double forearm shimmy i'm not saying 00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:11.740 lamar should have done that but dude keep your 00:25:11.740 --> 00:25:13.339 freaking hands to yourself what what are you 00:25:13.339 --> 00:25:15.759 doing like there's no place for that and the 00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:17.720 other clown who's throwing a bottle at derrick 00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:20.640 henry as he's scoring his 50th touchdown against 00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:23.299 us that game like there's no place for it in 00:25:23.299 --> 00:25:25.519 the stadium. I don't want to be associated with 00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:28.240 these morons. It's super frustrating. Can we 00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:31.359 just not be complete a -holes sometimes? I get 00:25:31.359 --> 00:25:33.740 there should be rivalries and I get we don't 00:25:33.740 --> 00:25:36.180 want opposing fans to come into our stadium. 00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:39.559 But number one, let's not be intimidating people. 00:25:39.819 --> 00:25:41.920 Let's not be threatening people. Let's not be 00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:44.759 getting in people's faces. There's a line, right? 00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:47.240 Like you can jest and you can like kind of poke 00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:49.319 fun at each other and it's all in good fun. But 00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:51.119 we should be able to go into other stadiums. 00:25:51.140 --> 00:25:53.400 And I say this as a Bills fan, and I say this 00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:56.259 as a fan of sports in general, I should be able 00:25:56.259 --> 00:26:00.119 to go into any opposing stadium, arena, what 00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.579 have you, as a fan of the opposing team and still 00:26:03.579 --> 00:26:06.049 have a good time. Now, if I'm going to go in 00:26:06.049 --> 00:26:09.009 there and get into fights with people, then I 00:26:09.009 --> 00:26:10.829 got what I have coming. But if I just want to 00:26:10.829 --> 00:26:13.170 go and enjoy a sporting event, I should not be 00:26:13.170 --> 00:26:15.829 harassed. I should not be cold cocked. I'm hearing 00:26:15.829 --> 00:26:19.230 crazy stories of just people doing stupid, terrible 00:26:19.230 --> 00:26:21.609 things to other human beings who just happen 00:26:21.609 --> 00:26:23.490 to root for the other team. Like there's no place 00:26:23.490 --> 00:26:27.289 for that in any sport, in any arena, in any stadium. 00:26:27.490 --> 00:26:29.890 Knock off the nonsense. Be better. Be better 00:26:29.890 --> 00:26:32.390 to each other as human beings. It's very simple. 00:26:32.509 --> 00:26:34.910 Anyway, I was kind of all over the place. with 00:26:34.910 --> 00:26:37.470 some of the thoughts on the game. What a game. 00:26:37.750 --> 00:26:39.910 Can't wait to see where this season goes. I'm 00:26:39.910 --> 00:26:42.329 going to try to get a week two preview out of 00:26:42.329 --> 00:26:45.490 the Jets game. That's coming up real quick. I'm 00:26:45.490 --> 00:26:47.930 hoping I get that out to you all Friday. But 00:26:47.930 --> 00:26:50.109 those are my thoughts on the Bills game. I know 00:26:50.109 --> 00:26:54.509 post -game we already cut the punter. So sayonara. 00:26:54.529 --> 00:26:57.009 I know you did a terrible job. I think the last 00:26:57.009 --> 00:27:00.089 punt you had was like 22 yards. That was yikes. 00:27:01.160 --> 00:27:03.140 This is what I told you about in one of the, 00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:04.799 I think it was the would you rather scenario. 00:27:05.160 --> 00:27:07.380 Would you rather have to go for it on every fourth 00:27:07.380 --> 00:27:09.740 down or would you rather have some clown punting? 00:27:09.799 --> 00:27:12.079 And I kind of just get the punter off the freaking 00:27:12.079 --> 00:27:17.000 team and put the gas pedal to the floor and let's 00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:19.900 see what we can do with this offense. Crank it 00:27:19.900 --> 00:27:22.700 up to 10. Whatever you got to do, don't slow 00:27:22.700 --> 00:27:24.619 down. Our goal, like I said at the beginning, 00:27:24.859 --> 00:27:28.839 should be 40 points each and every week. So there. 00:27:28.940 --> 00:27:32.619 Anyway. Hobby enthusiast, card enthusiast, how 00:27:32.619 --> 00:27:35.920 are we feeling this week? Lot to talk about, 00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:38.000 lot to talk about. The main thing on my mind 00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:39.900 that I want to... kind of work through at the 00:27:39.900 --> 00:27:43.000 beginning of this section is the hobby prices 00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:45.440 are out of control. I know I've talked about 00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:47.960 this before and I know I sound like an old man 00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:50.180 yelling at the clouds, but it's gotten insane. 00:27:50.359 --> 00:27:53.160 They had a few EQLs this week. I think I talked 00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:56.240 about it last week. They had one product I was 00:27:56.240 --> 00:27:58.920 super looking forward to. SpongeBob from Topps 00:27:58.920 --> 00:28:01.279 Chrome was dropping. They had an EQL, which if 00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:03.059 you don't know what an EQL is, it's essentially 00:28:03.059 --> 00:28:06.279 a lotto. You put in a ticket and you hope your 00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:08.339 name's drawn. And if it's drawn, you've already... 00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:11.720 committed to buy it well this came out spongebob 00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:14.140 it was five cards per pack 12 packs which is 00:28:14.140 --> 00:28:18.259 60 cards in a hobby box when did the hobby boxes 00:28:18.259 --> 00:28:20.359 get so freaking small that we're only putting 00:28:20.359 --> 00:28:23.200 60 cards in a hobby box that should be a blaster 00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:26.400 box all day every day 60 cards for a hobby and 00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:29.019 guess how much it was it was 250 but i'm already 00:28:29.019 --> 00:28:31.200 hearing and i missed out on it because i didn't 00:28:31.200 --> 00:28:33.900 get selected and it's fine whatever 250 at that 00:28:33.900 --> 00:28:35.700 price do you know what these are going to be 00:28:35.700 --> 00:28:38.950 once they actually hit the market I'm hearing 00:28:38.950 --> 00:28:42.289 prices from people in the hobby that these 60 00:28:42.289 --> 00:28:44.230 -card SpongeBob Chrome boxes are going to be 00:28:44.230 --> 00:28:47.809 upwards of $550 to $600. And I am like, what 00:28:47.809 --> 00:28:50.910 are we doing? What are we doing? And then the 00:28:50.910 --> 00:28:54.750 other one, WWE Finest, finally did their own 00:28:54.750 --> 00:28:58.839 EQL. And this is... also 60 cards and it's right 00:28:58.839 --> 00:29:01.000 around the same price so 260 for that i didn't 00:29:01.000 --> 00:29:03.660 get that didn't get that either and fine whatever 00:29:03.660 --> 00:29:06.460 i was a little late to the party at work because 00:29:06.460 --> 00:29:09.200 they drop these things at like 12 or one o 'clock 00:29:09.200 --> 00:29:10.619 and it's always during the middle of the week 00:29:10.619 --> 00:29:13.579 and sometimes i forget and i miss out on my window 00:29:13.579 --> 00:29:16.119 and whatever but these are going to be the same 00:29:16.119 --> 00:29:17.720 thing they're going to come back and once they 00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:21.059 actually hit The shelves in secondary markets, 00:29:21.259 --> 00:29:25.019 we're looking at $400 to $500 for 60 cards of 00:29:25.019 --> 00:29:27.579 WWE Finest. And I'm just like, come on, people. 00:29:28.220 --> 00:29:31.240 What are we doing? And it's so frustrating because 00:29:31.240 --> 00:29:33.259 the SpongeBob one, like I told you about before. 00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:36.420 This has such a nostalgia factor for me and when 00:29:36.420 --> 00:29:38.240 my kids were little and just spending time with 00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:40.740 them watching the show. And it looks awesome 00:29:40.740 --> 00:29:42.900 because there's a 200 card base set. There's 00:29:42.900 --> 00:29:45.259 tons of parallels. Some of the, I don't know 00:29:45.259 --> 00:29:47.019 if you remember any of this stuff, but there's 00:29:47.019 --> 00:29:50.940 a S -O -N -G song set, which is super cool. That 00:29:50.940 --> 00:29:53.420 celebrates music from the last 25 years of the 00:29:53.420 --> 00:29:57.220 show. There's a bikini bottom VIP cards. There's 00:29:57.220 --> 00:29:59.839 these awesome shadow box SpongeBob cards that 00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:02.960 are like numbered to 20 or less. The sketch cards. 00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:05.920 the doodle bob sketch cards like this set is 00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:08.900 right up my alley right because it's fun it's 00:30:08.900 --> 00:30:11.339 entertaining like they just look cool i would 00:30:11.339 --> 00:30:13.359 like to get my hands on them but there's no freaking 00:30:13.359 --> 00:30:17.000 chance i'm paying three four five six hundred 00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:20.099 dollars for 60 cards it's insanity to me and 00:30:20.099 --> 00:30:22.440 i just don't know what we're doing the cactus 00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:24.299 jack i've talked about this probably three times 00:30:24.299 --> 00:30:26.680 now but the cactus jack if you go on dave and 00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:29.440 adams right now the cactus jack hobby box is 00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:35.809 950 Think about that for a second. $950 for a 00:30:35.809 --> 00:30:40.009 box of cards for WWE Cactus Jack. Are you out 00:30:40.009 --> 00:30:41.910 of your mind? I've tried to remain calm about 00:30:41.910 --> 00:30:44.390 it, but it seems like the hobby is actually trying 00:30:44.390 --> 00:30:49.349 to direct people into breakers because no one 00:30:49.349 --> 00:30:51.950 in their right mind, no, I consider myself an 00:30:51.950 --> 00:30:54.809 average Joe type of guy. No one who falls into 00:30:54.809 --> 00:30:57.769 a category like me can afford any of these products. 00:30:57.970 --> 00:31:00.589 And so the only thing left. that we have to do 00:31:00.589 --> 00:31:03.289 is join these freaking breaks. And I don't want 00:31:03.289 --> 00:31:06.970 to do that. I don't want to pay 60, 75. for the 00:31:06.970 --> 00:31:09.769 chance that I might get one card that I want. 00:31:09.869 --> 00:31:11.569 I don't know, but I think the hobby with the 00:31:11.569 --> 00:31:13.930 increased prices, I really think they're driving 00:31:13.930 --> 00:31:16.069 everyone into breaks and I just think it's bad. 00:31:16.269 --> 00:31:18.549 I think it's really bad for the hobby. I don't 00:31:18.549 --> 00:31:20.809 know what there is to do about it, but it's extremely 00:31:20.809 --> 00:31:23.630 frustrating as a consumer. It's extremely frustrating 00:31:23.630 --> 00:31:26.029 as someone who wants to invest in some of these 00:31:26.029 --> 00:31:28.309 new products because they're cool and we really 00:31:28.309 --> 00:31:30.529 haven't seen some of this stuff before and it 00:31:30.529 --> 00:31:32.930 just, you're instantly priced out of the market 00:31:32.930 --> 00:31:36.200 and that is extremely frustrating. Tops tier 00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:39.579 one came out today. If you thought 60 cards was 00:31:39.579 --> 00:31:41.640 bad, how about four? You want four cards? Now, 00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:44.880 I do really like these cards. These cards are... 00:31:45.470 --> 00:31:48.509 fire. The relics in this set are absolutely legit. 00:31:49.009 --> 00:31:51.630 So the four cards, you get two guaranteed autos, 00:31:51.630 --> 00:31:53.950 you get one relic and you get one base card. 00:31:54.210 --> 00:31:56.970 And well, they're sold out because within five 00:31:56.970 --> 00:31:59.630 minutes, the hobby boxes, well, there's, it's 00:31:59.630 --> 00:32:01.769 really not a hobby box. It's four cards. They 00:32:01.769 --> 00:32:03.910 were going to retail for 320. They were gone 00:32:03.910 --> 00:32:07.369 instantly. And so now the, the secondary market, 00:32:07.490 --> 00:32:09.210 I don't even want to know. I'm already seeing 00:32:09.210 --> 00:32:12.940 them for 450, 500 bucks. for four cards. I'm 00:32:12.940 --> 00:32:14.720 not saying they're not awesome. They're awesome. 00:32:14.960 --> 00:32:17.859 I saw an Evan Longoria one of one Charizard Pokemon 00:32:17.859 --> 00:32:22.339 bat knob card. Now, why Evan Longoria has a card 00:32:22.339 --> 00:32:25.880 in this product? I don't know. So it kind of 00:32:25.880 --> 00:32:28.640 drives the cost down a little to me, but they 00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:30.680 have all these bat knobs in this product and 00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:33.299 they look sick. And I'm not a huge Pokemon fan, 00:32:33.480 --> 00:32:37.259 but this card looks awesome. So when I say the 00:32:37.259 --> 00:32:40.319 relics are legit, the relics are legit. It's 00:32:40.319 --> 00:32:43.660 just a great product. But again, who can afford 00:32:43.660 --> 00:32:46.759 this kind of money other than the big breakers? 00:32:46.759 --> 00:32:48.160 And then they're going to sell it to you for 00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:53.880 a spot to pull one card. It just goes on and 00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:56.000 on and on. So super frustrating, super frustrating. 00:32:56.200 --> 00:32:58.740 But what have I been getting into? I have been 00:32:58.740 --> 00:33:01.880 getting into, we've picked up a few cool things 00:33:01.880 --> 00:33:05.759 in our travels. My wife and I spent an hour the 00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:09.960 other day opening Garbage Pail Kids 2021 Food 00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:12.799 Fight Hobby Collector Box for the low, low price 00:33:12.799 --> 00:33:17.319 of $35. I found this at some random hobby shop 00:33:17.319 --> 00:33:20.289 in the middle of nowhere, Pennsylvania. And he 00:33:20.289 --> 00:33:23.009 had a, it's a collector tin box that looks like 00:33:23.009 --> 00:33:25.549 a refrigerator. Super cool. He had it for like 00:33:25.549 --> 00:33:28.730 35 bucks. And I was like, hell yeah, I'm going 00:33:28.730 --> 00:33:31.190 to buy this. So we cracked this thing open. It 00:33:31.190 --> 00:33:33.869 was awesome. We got a signed sketch card, an 00:33:33.869 --> 00:33:37.509 autographed sketch card. It was just so much 00:33:37.509 --> 00:33:41.170 fun. If you haven't Googled garbage pail kid, 00:33:41.390 --> 00:33:45.940 food fight, Herschel squirts card. Like I encourage 00:33:45.940 --> 00:33:49.519 you to run to the computer and Google Herschel 00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:52.400 squirts. It is, I know it's probably worth four 00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:55.400 cents, but I have already put a penny sleeve 00:33:55.400 --> 00:33:57.400 and top loaded this thing and I have it on my 00:33:57.400 --> 00:33:59.759 desk and I look at this card every day and each 00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:01.539 and every time I do, it makes me laugh out loud. 00:34:01.619 --> 00:34:05.180 So you can't put a price on this because when 00:34:05.180 --> 00:34:08.000 I started getting back into this, the number 00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:11.199 one reason I did it was to have fun. And that's 00:34:11.199 --> 00:34:14.219 the kind of thing that. It's fun to me. It's 00:34:14.219 --> 00:34:17.079 fun to me. Spending $400, $500, $600 is not fun 00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:22.079 to me. So I try to find stuff on the slightly 00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:24.800 lower end of the spectrum that... I can have 00:34:24.800 --> 00:34:27.840 a good time opening. And what else have I gotten 00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:30.059 myself into? Well, I was at Walmart the other 00:34:30.059 --> 00:34:32.079 day, the Walmart that is never stocked with anything. 00:34:32.219 --> 00:34:35.119 They finally got a few football products in stock 00:34:35.119 --> 00:34:38.480 and I picked up a 2025 Panini score football 00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:42.000 blaster for the low, low price of 27 bucks. I 00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:44.679 was like, yeah, sure. Why not? Why not? And I 00:34:44.679 --> 00:34:47.400 honestly had a great time. You only get one numbered 00:34:47.400 --> 00:34:50.559 card and you get, but I got a mem card. So I 00:34:50.559 --> 00:34:53.550 had a good time. I got a Eagles, AJ Brown, all 00:34:53.550 --> 00:34:57.010 -star memorabilia card. That was pretty cool. 00:34:57.170 --> 00:34:59.730 And I got a bunch of bills in there. So for 27 00:34:59.730 --> 00:35:01.989 bucks, I'm like, are you kidding me? This was 00:35:01.989 --> 00:35:04.170 fun. This was great. And I think I'm going to 00:35:04.170 --> 00:35:07.489 go back and probably buy a couple more. If anyone's 00:35:07.489 --> 00:35:10.550 interested, it's 400 card base set. There's 300 00:35:10.550 --> 00:35:13.690 vets and retired players and then 100 rookies 00:35:13.690 --> 00:35:16.389 that make up the 400 -card base set. And you 00:35:16.389 --> 00:35:18.190 can get some cool stuff. You can get some cool 00:35:18.190 --> 00:35:20.829 stuff. So I'm all about the cheap rip. I thought 00:35:20.829 --> 00:35:22.769 it was a lot of fun. I would encourage someone, 00:35:22.889 --> 00:35:24.489 maybe if you have kids or you're just looking 00:35:24.489 --> 00:35:25.909 to collect something or rip something cheap, 00:35:26.050 --> 00:35:28.309 it was a good time. Anyway, I think we're going 00:35:28.309 --> 00:35:32.849 to move on to the WWE and the tables portion 00:35:32.849 --> 00:35:36.139 of the program, Wrestling Enthusiast. wrestling 00:35:36.139 --> 00:35:38.920 marks how the heck are we feeling i gotta be 00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:42.280 open and honest with everybody aw has kind of 00:35:42.280 --> 00:35:46.119 taken a back seat i simply do not have the bandwidth 00:35:46.119 --> 00:35:49.159 or the time i can barely keep up now that football 00:35:49.159 --> 00:35:51.760 is in full swing analyzing these games and preparing 00:35:51.760 --> 00:35:54.539 and all this stuff and watching smackdown and 00:35:54.539 --> 00:35:58.599 monday night raw and trying to keep up with hobby 00:35:58.599 --> 00:36:01.630 talk and all this other stuff Something had to 00:36:01.630 --> 00:36:03.989 go. Something had to go. And it sucks because 00:36:03.989 --> 00:36:07.050 there's some good stuff going on in AEW. I try 00:36:07.050 --> 00:36:09.809 to keep up with the results from the shows, Collision, 00:36:09.869 --> 00:36:12.530 Dynamite, that sort of thing. I was super gung 00:36:12.530 --> 00:36:15.809 -ho going into the last pay -per -view, and I 00:36:15.809 --> 00:36:18.250 just honestly just lost some steam. So if you're 00:36:18.250 --> 00:36:20.769 looking for the latest and greatest in AEW, you're 00:36:20.769 --> 00:36:22.969 not going to find it here. I wish I had the time 00:36:22.969 --> 00:36:25.969 to focus on it, but I just don't. So this is 00:36:25.969 --> 00:36:30.320 going to be WWE stuff. predominantly moving forward. 00:36:30.380 --> 00:36:32.360 And hopefully soon I'll have some more time. 00:36:32.420 --> 00:36:34.780 What I need to do, what I need to do is retire, 00:36:34.940 --> 00:36:39.099 not have to go to work four days a week. And 00:36:39.099 --> 00:36:42.820 then I would have plenty of time to devote 100 00:36:42.820 --> 00:36:46.059 % of my efforts to this podcast and all the awesome 00:36:46.059 --> 00:36:49.760 hobbies that are incorporated. But as of now, 00:36:49.900 --> 00:36:53.250 that can't happen. So here we go. Let's dive 00:36:53.250 --> 00:36:55.989 into the world of WWE. There's a lot to talk 00:36:55.989 --> 00:36:58.929 about. Smackdown last Friday, we had the first 00:36:58.929 --> 00:37:02.090 half devoted pretty much entirely to John Cena. 00:37:02.429 --> 00:37:05.070 This was going to be the last time that he was 00:37:05.070 --> 00:37:11.070 in. chicago and he cut a big promo they all gave 00:37:11.070 --> 00:37:13.309 him his flowers it was pretty nice and then as 00:37:13.309 --> 00:37:15.409 he's leaving sammy zane comes out who is the 00:37:15.409 --> 00:37:18.469 current u .s champion and he challenges cena 00:37:18.469 --> 00:37:22.090 to a match just purely out of respect they go 00:37:22.090 --> 00:37:25.449 on have a pretty decent match that takes up literally 00:37:25.449 --> 00:37:28.650 the first 50 minutes of the show and then brock 00:37:28.650 --> 00:37:31.909 lesnar comes out and destroys the both of them 00:37:31.909 --> 00:37:34.849 setting up the match between cena and lesnar 00:37:34.849 --> 00:37:39.489 on September 20th at Wrestlepalooza in Indianapolis. 00:37:39.909 --> 00:37:42.449 It was a good first hour SmackDown. Really, really 00:37:42.449 --> 00:37:44.690 good stuff. I'm so glad we got away from the 00:37:44.690 --> 00:37:49.070 Cena heel turn. Obviously, I think it was good 00:37:49.070 --> 00:37:51.789 to see it. I don't think it was executed perfectly. 00:37:52.070 --> 00:37:56.710 I think it even gave more emphasis on him being... 00:37:57.019 --> 00:38:00.019 a baby face when he actually turned back so it 00:38:00.019 --> 00:38:03.539 gave people a reason to be all invested in the 00:38:03.539 --> 00:38:07.940 final good good guy run of john cena so I'm enjoying 00:38:07.940 --> 00:38:09.980 it. I think the last few matches he's had have 00:38:09.980 --> 00:38:11.780 been great. I think this one with Sami Zayn was 00:38:11.780 --> 00:38:14.780 really well done. And obviously we didn't get 00:38:14.780 --> 00:38:17.019 a winner because Lesnar came in and destroyed 00:38:17.019 --> 00:38:19.960 them all. But what else was important on SmackDown? 00:38:20.039 --> 00:38:23.099 Really the only thing worth talking about was 00:38:23.099 --> 00:38:26.619 the return after 10 long years of none other 00:38:26.619 --> 00:38:29.900 than AJ Lee. Now this was probably the worst 00:38:29.900 --> 00:38:32.900 kept secret in wrestling, but still once she 00:38:32.900 --> 00:38:37.250 came out, the place went freaking. nuts chicago 00:38:37.250 --> 00:38:41.349 you guys crushed it you always seem to and uh 00:38:41.349 --> 00:38:44.230 well done it was great seeing her come back she 00:38:44.230 --> 00:38:47.050 looks like she hasn't aged more than a month 00:38:47.050 --> 00:38:49.829 or two i mean she looks pretty much exactly as 00:38:49.829 --> 00:38:52.150 she did when she left which is amazing considering 00:38:52.150 --> 00:38:57.110 cm punk looks old as hell now anyway i'm super 00:38:57.110 --> 00:39:00.630 excited about this angle between the two power 00:39:00.630 --> 00:39:03.309 couples now continued monday night if you haven't 00:39:03.309 --> 00:39:05.820 seen monday night raw aj lee came out She cut 00:39:05.820 --> 00:39:08.039 a great promo. She talked about retiring 10 years 00:39:08.039 --> 00:39:10.239 ago, how she had to go away, how she had to get 00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:14.019 healthy mentally. And she talks about going on 00:39:14.019 --> 00:39:16.099 a mental health journey and going to therapy 00:39:16.099 --> 00:39:18.599 and the crowd starts chanting for therapy. And 00:39:18.599 --> 00:39:22.199 it was actually a really good heartfelt speech 00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:26.130 in which it got. you invested. I think whether 00:39:26.130 --> 00:39:28.570 you followed her back in the day, which I did, 00:39:28.789 --> 00:39:31.630 I thought she was great. She was a very unique 00:39:31.630 --> 00:39:35.210 character during a time in wrestling where women 00:39:35.210 --> 00:39:38.590 weren't the wrestling focus that they are now. 00:39:38.769 --> 00:39:41.050 It was more of a, how do I want to put this? 00:39:41.070 --> 00:39:43.429 The Divas Championship. I mean, that should tell 00:39:43.429 --> 00:39:45.710 you all you need to know. The Divas Championship 00:39:45.710 --> 00:39:50.110 versus the Women's Championship and the way... 00:39:50.429 --> 00:39:52.730 They have wrestling now. Wrestling for the women 00:39:52.730 --> 00:39:55.150 was not the focus. It was on their looks. It 00:39:55.150 --> 00:39:57.789 was on what they're wearing. It was on how they're 00:39:57.789 --> 00:40:00.050 acting. And the wrestling kind of took a backseat. 00:40:00.190 --> 00:40:02.710 Thank God we're no longer in that time frame 00:40:02.710 --> 00:40:05.750 because the work the women are... I've talked 00:40:05.750 --> 00:40:07.670 about this before. The work the women are doing 00:40:07.670 --> 00:40:10.210 now is fantastic. And I can't wait to see her 00:40:10.210 --> 00:40:13.570 feud. Allegedly, I guess behind the scenes, this 00:40:13.570 --> 00:40:16.130 is not going to be a one -off. This is not going 00:40:16.130 --> 00:40:18.250 to be a one -and -done feud. She's going to be 00:40:18.250 --> 00:40:21.030 around for a while. that has me super excited 00:40:21.030 --> 00:40:24.030 to see her compete with some of these ladies 00:40:24.030 --> 00:40:27.170 in wwe today can't say enough how awesome it 00:40:27.170 --> 00:40:29.550 is so she cuts this awesome promo it's great 00:40:29.550 --> 00:40:32.250 and then becky lynch who in my opinion is doing 00:40:32.250 --> 00:40:34.690 some of the best heel work in the company she 00:40:34.690 --> 00:40:39.079 comes out wearing These crazy, awesome sunglasses. 00:40:39.480 --> 00:40:42.340 She's looking more and more like Seth Rollins 00:40:42.340 --> 00:40:46.039 every day. Their image, it just bounces perfectly 00:40:46.039 --> 00:40:49.360 off the two of them. I just, I love the heel 00:40:49.360 --> 00:40:51.159 work she's doing. So she comes out, she gets 00:40:51.159 --> 00:40:54.039 into it with AJ. Eventually Seth comes out and 00:40:54.039 --> 00:40:57.500 CM Punk comes out. And long story short. There's 00:40:57.500 --> 00:40:59.280 going to be a match. It's going to be great. 00:40:59.539 --> 00:41:02.619 It's intergender or however. Couples, I don't 00:41:02.619 --> 00:41:04.519 even know what you call these anymore. Couples 00:41:04.519 --> 00:41:07.739 tag team match at Wrestlepalooza, which is setting 00:41:07.739 --> 00:41:10.860 up to be one heck of a good show. I frankly can't 00:41:10.860 --> 00:41:12.460 wait to see this. I know a lot of people are 00:41:12.460 --> 00:41:14.880 like, no one wants to see this. Yes, I do. Sign 00:41:14.880 --> 00:41:17.679 me up. I love all four of these people. It's 00:41:17.679 --> 00:41:20.119 going to be great. I can't wait to see what they 00:41:20.119 --> 00:41:23.690 do moving forward. I love. the interactions between 00:41:23.690 --> 00:41:25.989 Becky and Seth. I think it's great stuff. So 00:41:25.989 --> 00:41:28.989 I'm super excited to see where this goes. What 00:41:28.989 --> 00:41:31.969 else did I see on Monday Night Raw? The Bailey 00:41:31.969 --> 00:41:34.710 vignettes. If you haven't seen these little videos 00:41:34.710 --> 00:41:37.130 she's cutting where she's kind of doing this, 00:41:37.230 --> 00:41:41.610 I don't know, dual personality, weird stuff mentally. 00:41:41.789 --> 00:41:44.289 I don't know. It's crazy. I don't know where 00:41:44.289 --> 00:41:46.489 it's going, but I'm very intrigued because I 00:41:46.489 --> 00:41:49.719 think she's great. And I... I don't know what's 00:41:49.719 --> 00:41:51.559 going to happen, but if you keep me interested, 00:41:51.739 --> 00:41:53.420 then I'm going to keep paying attention, and 00:41:53.420 --> 00:41:57.019 that's really all that matters. The Usos reunited. 00:41:57.920 --> 00:42:00.460 Obviously, Jimmy and Jay were one of the greatest, 00:42:00.519 --> 00:42:03.679 most successful tag teams, and they kind of separated. 00:42:03.840 --> 00:42:06.780 They had a feud for a little bit in a terrible 00:42:06.780 --> 00:42:10.559 WrestleMania match. Jay kind of went off and 00:42:10.559 --> 00:42:13.619 did his thing. Obviously, he became... uh heavyweight 00:42:13.619 --> 00:42:15.980 champion and that title run wasn't one of my 00:42:15.980 --> 00:42:18.539 favorites i didn't think it was very good um 00:42:18.539 --> 00:42:22.920 i'm not too sure that he is well suited to be 00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:26.760 the leading guy on a show i thought he did okay 00:42:26.760 --> 00:42:30.380 but uh i for one was not upset when he lost the 00:42:30.380 --> 00:42:33.800 belt and i was super happy to see them reunite 00:42:33.800 --> 00:42:37.079 but It seems like maybe it's going to be short 00:42:37.079 --> 00:42:40.159 -lived because Jay's already doing this bad attitude 00:42:40.159 --> 00:42:42.380 thing because at the end of the show on Monday, 00:42:42.440 --> 00:42:45.079 he ends up spearing LA Knight to kind of get 00:42:45.079 --> 00:42:47.159 back at him for getting in. I don't know. It's 00:42:47.159 --> 00:42:49.780 kind of convoluted. So the Usos are reuniting 00:42:49.780 --> 00:42:53.000 to fight Braun and Braun, and we shall see what 00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:54.980 happens with this. And then the only other match 00:42:54.980 --> 00:42:58.380 that's set up for Russell Palooza, which is in, 00:42:58.460 --> 00:43:01.099 what, two weeks? Less than two weeks? Io Sky 00:43:01.099 --> 00:43:04.099 versus Stephanie Vakir for the women's title. 00:43:04.329 --> 00:43:06.889 This is the one that had to be vacated because 00:43:06.889 --> 00:43:10.670 of Naomi. I can't wait to see this match. I can't 00:43:10.670 --> 00:43:13.070 freaking wait to see this match. The Asuka stuff 00:43:13.070 --> 00:43:15.130 they're doing behind the scenes has been great. 00:43:15.289 --> 00:43:20.190 She's turning into a real good heel. I love the 00:43:20.190 --> 00:43:24.030 stuff she's doing with Kairi Sane where she's 00:43:24.030 --> 00:43:26.150 like... Asuka's off the screen, and then she's 00:43:26.150 --> 00:43:28.489 screaming at her, and Kairi Sane kind of runs 00:43:28.489 --> 00:43:31.730 after her. It's really good stuff. So I'm really 00:43:31.730 --> 00:43:33.510 looking forward to WrestlePalooza. They got some 00:43:33.510 --> 00:43:35.690 good stories they're telling right now. It looks 00:43:35.690 --> 00:43:38.690 to be a good show. My only concern is now it's 00:43:38.690 --> 00:43:41.409 the debut show on ESPN, and we all have to figure 00:43:41.409 --> 00:43:43.130 out how the hell that's going to work in the 00:43:43.130 --> 00:43:46.210 app and paying whatever. It's going to be $30 00:43:46.210 --> 00:43:49.360 a month. which no one's looking forward to. So 00:43:49.360 --> 00:43:52.679 we shall see what happens with that. But all 00:43:52.679 --> 00:43:55.400 in all, I think they are on the right track and 00:43:55.400 --> 00:43:57.440 I can't wait to see what happens. But I think 00:43:57.440 --> 00:44:00.219 that's going to wrap it up for this episode of 00:44:00.219 --> 00:44:03.239 the 3Ts podcast. Please, everybody, do me a favor. 00:44:03.340 --> 00:44:05.500 Share this podcast with someone you know, whether 00:44:05.500 --> 00:44:07.940 they are a fellow Mafia member, a card collector, 00:44:08.059 --> 00:44:10.360 or someone who just loves professional wrestling. 00:44:10.619 --> 00:44:12.579 It doesn't matter.
