(upbeat rock music) - Welcome to Drinking Bros. Presented by ghostbed.com. (upbeat rock music) Sit back, relax it, grab a fucking drink. (upbeat rock music) - Yeah, welcome to Drinking Bros. Kids, got a beautiful little, beautiful. Little Wednesday afternoon show here. I'm cracking one, it's an after two p.m. I'm cracking a hard day of seltzer. You can't stop me and I won't stop. Same with Lieutenant Dan, dude. We'll get to him in a second. Also joining us today will be Coach Kennedy. Joe Kennedy from Bremerton High School, who fought for the right to pray. On the field there and one, he's got a new movie coming out called Average Joe, and that'll be out in theaters. What, I think in a week or so, right? I haven't seen the trailer on TV. And yeah, as soon as he's in, he's in. In the meantime, obviously Hurricane Milton is barreling down on Florida, supposed to land tonight. What, around the 7 p.m. area is what we're hearing? - Maybe a little sooner. It's already getting like the outer part of it with the rain and shit like that, so. - Okay. - Yeah, I mean, it's kind of there already. - Gotcha. Well, you know who else is all there is Lieutenant Dan. Now, I DM'ed you this video on Twitter. I was unaware about this man, but Anthony, we got a homeless guy who's gonna ride out a cat for Hurricane, potentially five on this little dingy right here, and people are taking bets online. - It's not a dingy, but he's definitely gonna die. - It's close. - It's a sailboat. - Is it? - Yeah, he's got this is a home. A boat is a home. - That is the best thing you could have as a homeless man. - So is that, wait, I'm sorry, is the pole behind him part of his little boat? - This is all part of the boat. - Oh, God, it got it, okay. I didn't know if he'd kind of back that in there to try to position himself better, so that way the boat wouldn't escape or go out into the ocean there. I don't know what the fuck's going on. This is the first time hearing of it. He's trending online, number one in the world. It's a homeless guy who goes by Lieutenant Dan. Even the mayor got on TV and said, "We got him out of here, so let's please everybody "evacuate for the storm." And then, of course, the internet found him. Bob, play this video here. A guy went out and interviewed him earlier. - All right. - Are you okay? Everybody's worried about you. - I'm worried about you. - It's all over TikTok. - Everybody, like, it broke the country. - I'm gonna go live in there. - Are you gonna be okay? - I'm gonna be fine. - I don't think people realize you. You're so close to doubt. I mean, you can just get off if something bad happened. You know what I mean? - I'm not going to say there's a lot of shakeless plays to be on a boat in the flood. - Okay, we learned how to do that. - It's not a fill-out, it's a hurricane. - Everybody stayed on land, drowned. Noah and the animals lived. So, I'm fine. - Do you have any animals? - No, I wish I did. - Okay. - I'd use two females. - Well, you got on the news cruise right here during the storm, so you can just, you know, I'm not eating anything. Everybody's worried about you. - I'm not even worried about you. - Everybody wants me to get off the boat. People don't, I understand. Being that I'm tied up to the cleat on the doctor and then she starts to concrete, she starts to wall this way. I have a secret anchor point at the boat. - Secure anchor point goes up, I go up. As long as the water stays out of the boat, I'll be fine. It's not a tornado. I'm not going to get lifted up and thrown into Kansas, I'm not like that. I'm not suicidal, but I'm putting it in God's hands and taking it out of mind and man. - All right. - I'm shaking tight, I'll play it out. - Well, like I said, we're all right up here. So, do you need anything? - Yeah, I do. - Well, everybody's parked right here, okay? - Sure, I love you all and I take for the concern. I'm not nutty. I'm just doing what my father told me to do and I'm doing it and I'm being made. I don't go with the grain, I'm against the grain because it's awesome. You're all robots, you're all sheep, following. - Yeah, you gotta go against the grain. You're all robots and you're all sheep. - When anybody says you want to do about it, I do what I think is right. - Yeah. - And just got down 10 years ago when I found him and he couldn't have right here. - Oh, he found God 10 years ago. - Well, he's good. - Well, he's gonna see him soon. - Yeah, sure will. You can go ahead and cut it there, Bob. The wind's picking up and it's getting hard to hear out there. - There's an old Ron White bit. There was some asshole that said he could survive through a hurricane by another Florida man, obviously, by a strapping himself to a fucking light pole. And his evidence for that was that he's in really good shape. And Ron White says it's not that the wind is blowing, it's what the wind is blowing. It doesn't matter how many sit-ups you can do if a fucking Volkswagen is coming through the air at you, you're gonna die. And that's what this guy is going to die. - Nah. - Yeah, he's, but, you know. - Whatever sheeple. - Yeah. - Obviously, he doesn't care. And it's not like he's got anything to lose. And you can look at this man, put that picture back up there, just this still. - Right there. - You can tell he's got nothing to lose. This is Bebo Russell 2.0. And you know what? Next year, tomorrow night, a year from tomorrow night, we will have a two-shirt and this man's on to celebrate his death, which is going to happen. - Or this weekend. I think we could probably get that in the store this weekend. - This guy's surviving. - This kind of guy survives all the time. - So, it says here that he's a disabled veteran, goes by Lieutenant Dan. He's gonna ride out the Cat 5 hurricane. - I mean, is he a real lieutenant or is he stealing valor? - He's got one leg, actually. - He has one leg. - Does he really only have one leg? He's kind of a stolen actor, too. - Does this give Lieutenant vibes to you? - Ah, no. - It sure does. - No, those are private vibes. - Dan, you take orders from that guy. - No. - For sure. - I wouldn't take orders from any Lieutenant. - Now, the boat is 20 foot long. It took him five years to get, and he says he owns it. And it's in the Tampa Harbor. And he seems fine with it. Yeah, and it is a sailboat. So, you guys are correct here. And there's odds on whether or not he's gonna live or die. I wish it was on my bookie. However, it's on another site here. Surprise, do you guys wanna hear the odds here? Oh my God, Dan, you're gonna love this. - Give me the juice. - No way. - Do you say juice? - Juice. - I know you always have juice on the mind, but juice. - Yeah. - I can't stop thinking about 'em. - I'm gonna send this to you, Bob, because this is real here. - It's those little hats, you know. - Pop up this picture. Dan's gonna love this in particular, because look, our sponsor's mybookie.com. From a co-drinking bros, doubles your first deposit up to $1,000. This is not mybookie.com. This is Rittorio Casino. All right, there. Now, the odds of him living on Rittorio Casino are 66%, which is pretty high. - In my opinion. - I don't think this is a real gambling site, because it's minus 194, and then plus 194, odds are never split like that. - No, it's Rittorio though. - It's Rittorio though. Like, that's what they do over there. It gets Rittorio. - I can't deal with this. - What's the picture? Oh my God, they've got 'em outside of a heaven's gates up there? Zoom in on that, Bob. Holy fucking shit. - We've got a full fucking situation. - One scientist to get out of category five, one of the worst hurricanes. - It's been downgraded for, by the way. - Okay, good. - 20 foot sailboat. - There's also a tornado earlier. - There was, that was a gnarly tornado quake. - God, I don't want to be a man. God told me to come out here. - Oh God, God told him to go out to the boat. When's that ever gone? - I'm telling you over the last decade, I'm doing the right thing. He's got my back. I'm in good shape, I ain't sweating it. We're gonna ride this one out. - He is in good shape. - That's the way. - From working out or just being homeless. - That's one of the worst. Like food, meth, well, meth will do it. - You can wear a live jacket. - No, no. - No life jacket, he says either. - But then again, there's lake people. I don't know if there are ocean people like this, but that's an average looking lake dude at the Ozarks. - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah, they just lives out there all the time. - Yep. - Look, there's a million of these guys. - Is the land just to stick it out here? - Yeah. - I mean. - But they all are on meth, rather. - We're gonna come in, it's gonna ride. - It's just like Gary. It's just like Gary Bear back then, you know? - This is Gary in 30 years. - Yeah, well, if Gary makes it 30, we're not real sure when we tweak like he is, probably not. But yeah, this has a disaster thing on here, on Ritardio Casino, so you can bet on people in disasters. And yeah, my money's on Lieutenant Dam. You think he's gonna die? - Yes. - Delco. - Oh, he's 11. - Yeah. - I mean, I want him to survive, you know, obviously, but it seems unlikely to me. And frankly, I think, I don't want him to survive. - Is that bad? - I think it's a big hit to the climate change people if he survived. So I think Al Gore is probably gonna go out there and smoke him. - Also, even if he dies, he will truly live. - Yeah. - Going through that storm. - Yeah, he really will, man. But this was a bizarre story. And we're less than two hours from it touching down there. So let's keep an eye out for Lieutenant Dam and see what happens. And then Bob Cumey when Coach Joe is ready to go here. But yeah, there's a bunch of bizarre shit going on down there. So it has been downgraded to a four. That's true. Category four. Yeah, and then the tornadoes is what gets really fucking crazy to me. And what was it? Orlando Delco? - Nah, it was Fort Myers, I think. - Yeah, there's been tornadoes up and down the coast on Florida, just, I mean, the wind's all crazy, shit swirling around. You're gonna get some water spouts and shit like that. - Well, I mean, it's the government, right? The government created this storm. - I believe Marjorie Taylor Greene's been tweeting that for a couple days. - She probably has. - So she has. - You wanna get back to what we were talking about earlier, Dan, the Jews, yeah. - Yeah, the Jews too. Yeah, you can't rule them out. - Yeah. - You know, people believe that the government controls the weather and that we didn't land on the moon. - Yeah, yeah. - And the reason it looks like the evidence they'll give for that, I've been going off on people on Twitter the last few days about this. The reason they'll give is like, oh, we're not even capable, we lost the technology. So, okay, cool, we can't land on the moon, which is not that difficult, by the way. Newtonian physics, you can do it. But we can control the weather. And then some dude posted, I swear to God, man, some dude posted patents on weather control devices. Do you know how a patent works? You do, 'cause you've done it before. You submit the patent and provided it follows all the requirements and laws for a patent, then you get it. It's, a patent clerk doesn't go requisition an F-18 from the fucking Air Force and fly out there with this technology you think you created and test it out to make sure it works before you give your patent. - It's been a long, it takes a long time. - Now, we have been cloud seeding for the better part of six or seven decades. There's about, there's a couple of dozen countries on Earth that are cloud seeding. - UAE, most notably. - Yeah, UAE, they fire lasers into it. - Asia's been doing it. - All sorts of other shit, that for sure happens. But we just can't steer a fucking hurricane around. Come on, man. - Well, thoughts and prayers out there for everybody going through it. And Lieutenant Dan, we're thinking about you. Right now, Coach Joe is joining us here. New movie average Joe, coming out real soon. How are you, sir? Ah, he's all-- - I am great. How about that? - There you go. You unmuted, you're in it, dude. I love it. You're in a hotel somewhere. It looks like you got the shit covered over. - Oh man, you nailed it. - Yeah, we did a lot of interviews during COVID. And that's what it looked like every time. Where are you currently today? - I am actually in Phoenix, Arizona, and I'm getting ready to go over and talk to JD Vance. So it's a pretty cool day. - Oh, that's awesome. Is that in regards to the movie, or did the President's and Vance reach out to you? - A little bit of both, which is really outstanding. He couldn't make it to the movie last night. We had a movie premiere, and he was doing his spiel somewhere in Tucson. But he came out here today, so we're gonna meet up, I get to pray over him, and we're gonna talk about the movie for a bit, and do his count haul. - That's awesome, yeah. He couldn't make the premiere. He's a little busy right now, Coach. I don't know if you know this. - Just a tiny bit, yeah. That guy, him and Trump, they're just a little busy. - Yeah, they got something going on here in about 26 days. It'll come to me eventually. Is that your first time seeing the premiere? - I know a second time. So this was the first time my wife and I actually got to sit down and really watch it instead of entertaining people. So it was really good, nice, small group of people. - That's great, because when you're going through this, obviously they buy the life rights. Do you get briefed on who's gonna play you? Did you have any control over that? - Not over who played me. I had a couple of people that were into and I definitely poo-pooed a couple of people, but I was pushing for a couple of people also. But when everything's said and done, I didn't have any say on the cast. - I think the rock, that's who I would have passed. - Yeah, or Forest Whitaker. - Forest Whitaker or the rock, yeah, or both. - 'Cause you look really identical, it's close. I mean, yes, I know you're white, obviously, but we don't see color. - Wow. - No, no, no, no. - Yeah, but who were you pushing for, just out of curiosity? - So, Neil McDonough, he's played with a lot of bad guys. Yeah, he plays a good bad guy and he's just a good guy. - Wait, did Angel still use the whole thing? - No, it was, the guys that did "Guts Not Dead", so they did partner with Pure Flix at the end of it and Fathom Films. So, it's kind of an independent film that we're hoping really does well. - Yeah, our buddy, Kevin Sorbo was in "Guts Not Dead", yeah. - He's a star. - He was the lead of "Guts Not Dead". He's a little too muscular to play you, I think. I'm totally kidding, coach. You look great. - He's a little too old, we'll say that. - Oh, yeah, he is, he's really tall. - He's really tall, he's like six four, he's a big dude. - He's a giant human being. No, but this is awesome. As all of this was going on, did you ever think a movie would be made about your life? - Come on, really, how could you possibly even fathom that? It's, I'm just high school football coach in some town nobody's ever heard of, so a movie about your life and your wife's is just, that seems crazy, that's just crazy talk. - It's nuts. I mean, look, I've been seeing the trailer online and I know it's coming out. There's not a lot in theaters these days, so chances are it's gonna do pretty well. You know, I don't know how much you know about Hollywood, but they kind of label this as a Christian movie. And that genre does extremely well in theaters and a lot of church groups go out. Are you guys doing that as well? And heading out with buses and meeting up with churches and your local church to go? - Yeah, that's exactly what I'm doing. Tomorrow I'll be in Dallas for, so first Liberty Institute, the ones who represent me as the lawyers, they're putting together some stuff to have a bunch of their clients and appreciation day for all the people in Dallas area. And I'm gonna fly out there tomorrow and watch it with them and fly home and watch it with a couple of churches in Pensacola. - That's awesome. Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing it. The trailer looked fantastic. And then we'll get into your backstory here because you were in foster care and then you were in the Marine Corps. What made you wanna coach high school football? - Well, there wasn't anything, I didn't even wanna coach high school football. I don't know anything about football. That was really just kind of a god thing. The athletic director saw me out on the run one day and just hit me up and said, "Are you interested in coaching?" And I thought the guy was crazy, of course. And he just kept hounding me about it. So obviously there was something to it. I finally went to an interview and they offered me the job right after the interview. It was funny 'cause the head coach was sitting there saying, "Well, what's your specialty, offense, defense, special teams?" And I'm like, "Nope, none of the above." He thought it was a big joke or something, looking around like, "Why are we even interviewing this guy?" And then I gave my background in the military with team building and discipline and leadership. And that's what spoke volumes to him. So they hired me and yeah, kind of rest was a history. - That's incredible. And how did the team do with you not knowing how to coach a football team? - I think it did awesome. I got to develop like character building stuff. I didn't care about X's and O's. We had so many good coaches. We had a boatie who played for the Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl. We had college players. So all these guys are too many people that know X's and O's. I didn't care about that stuff. Only thing I cared about were the kids that were doing the X's and O's and getting the most out of them. - And then for you personally, obviously you kneeled for the prayer there and then you got fired. What was that conversation like? - At first I thought it was just a huge misunderstanding. The first amendment's pretty darn clear to me. The freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the free exercise. I mean, that's like common sense to me. And I was a graduate from Bremerton High School. So I think I learned everything I needed to know about the first amendment. Now their lawyers had a whole different take on it. And when we couldn't talk as people anymore as adults and they gave me a letter that said, do not contact the school anymore. All negotiations broke down. I couldn't talk to even my employer and the superintendent. So I knew I needed help and so we got the first liberty to come in and start negotiating with the lawyers and man, it just turned ugly, got ugly really quick. - And it always does. We've had numerous people who've challenged the Supreme Court and everything on the show. Going through that entire process and the legal process is brutal, financially draining. I saw on the trailer that you and your wife were in a disagreement because look, let's face it, these lawsuits break up marriages. - Oh yeah, and Jake can step further. My wife was the HR director for the school district. That I was suing. So essentially, her department had to fire me and I had to sue them. So, you know, it put a huge strain on our family and we had kids in the high school time. So this was really close to home and it almost broke us up. - And you weren't in this for the money at all. It was just the idea. - Yeah, so the only thing I asked from the very beginning was to be able to be a coach and to be able to pray on the 50 yard line after a football game. And that's what they granted me. If you go back to the court stuff all the way through, but that's what they granted me. It was just those two things. They did have to pay legal fees, which I don't get to see. I wish you'd show me a little bit of that cash, but yeah, I didn't make a nickel off of this thing. And yeah, it costs almost $7 million over the eight years we were fighting. - Holy shit. - And then how long did it take to get the job back? - Nine football seasons. - Wow, dude. Nine football seasons. - Yeah. - That's incredible. - It's crazy. - And then because we see it now in every field across America and it seems commonplace and you don't really think about it. And that's what I love about this film is it goes into the story of why you are able to do that right now. Have you been getting like, you know, thank you messages from coaches all over the nation throughout the nine football seasons that you were off? - Oh yeah, absolutely. Even people, 'cause this was all happening up in Washington state, which, you know, in college, it used to be the Pac-12, which is the Pac-2 now. But I would hear from SEC schools and Big Ten. I mean, everybody across the states were calling in and just encouraging me and to keep fighting this fight 'cause it was 100% worth it. And it was all about the principle, the first amendment. - Yeah, it's funny, whenever something like this goes down, people are always like, you'd have a whole like, how are you gonna feel when you see like a Muslim praying at the 50-yard line? Well, the funny response to that as long as he's not ticking as he's praying, I'll be fine, right? But the real response from America would be like, yeah, we'll just go pray together. It's not that big a deal. - Yeah. - Like if you don't like it, then go do something else. Go look in a different direction. Here's how easy it is to not be offended by a dude praying 100 fucking meters away from you. - Just turn and walk away. - Just look over that way. - Yeah, that's all you gotta do. - It's so easy. - Imagine that. - It's so easy. - So simple. - Oh my God, man. - So simple. And as you're going through this process, like you said, $7 million. Nobody understands the costs that are involved in fighting these legal battles over the years. Was there ever a point where you said, all right, fuck it, let's just give up. And I'm all done with this. I just wanna go back to my wife and join my life and not have to deal with this anymore. - Every single day, just about every day, especially the first four years, it was, well, that was the toughest for me because I had guys in there, they incoming freshmen. So the first four years suck. So I knew I had this stick with it, but I didn't want to because I wanted to go back just to coach. I mean, I didn't want to fight this fight. It was just something that needed to be done. In the next four years, you're sitting there going, oh my God, now there's nobody left out of school. Is this really worth it? Is this something that you need to just keep doing? And man, that's how much the First Amendment means to me and the Constitution is, it's worth fighting for over even a 15 second prayer. Because too many people back down from these little fights instead of standing up for what's right and we end up losing all of our freedoms. - And most of them do it because it's just simply too difficult and it's too costly, it's too time consuming. Dan and I have been in numerous lawsuits over the years and it's a time suck. It's a giant time suck every single day, having to get on the phone with these people, email after email after email. And then you got to go through discovery and everything else that goes on, let alone to get it up to the higher courts. That's a whole different ball game all together that luckily I've never been involved in, but most people, yes, they give up at a certain point because they just simply don't want to do it anymore and their lives are ruined. What was the overall factor for you that you were like, man, I cannot back down from this? - Well, I was an American before I started my relationship with God. And so it was a marine part of me as a believer and somebody who's trying to live for God, they didn't make any difference really where you pray. But that American in me, it rubbed me so wrong and I can't even begin to tell you, but when I sat in front of my team and I was telling them, hey, if I go out there and pray on this coming up game, it's gonna be the last one. My team captain stood up and said, Coach, we talked it over as a team and we want you to just give in so you can stay our coach. And I knew that exact second, there is no way I could back down now. What kind of example does that set for these guys? I tell them to kill themselves on Friday night. I don't care if you're boo-boo hurts, rub some dirt on it, get in the game. But man, now all of a sudden I'm gonna quit because it becomes uncomfortable for me or I have to go through a little pain and suffering. This is a perfect time that I get to show leadership by example, and what it means to actually fight for the right thing to do, even if it's not popular. - And as this is going on, because at this point, you're in COVID as it's heading up to the Supreme Court and everything else, I know on June 27th, 2022, they ruled in favor of you in the first amendment. Were you there? Did you able to, were you able to go in person? - So I flew there, I was ready to go into the court, with my lawyers and my wife and everybody. Yeah, but because of COVID, they said only one, or two attorneys from each side was allowed to go in there. Oh, by the way, and all the press. So freedom of the press was allowed to be there, but I didn't even get to attend my own trial, which I thought was crap. But we sat in a building across the street until they were finished with it. We listened to it on whatever that is, C-SPAN or whatever. - Man, so all that time, nine football seasons, seven million dollars, and then you're just sitting in an Applebee's across the street, watching it on C-SPAN, your own trial, what do you do to celebrate something like that? - There was hardly any celebration, because you sit there and think that, okay, it's gonna be like law and order, you know. There's something happens, it goes into the trial, and boom, boom, everything's done. No, I have to wait another three months before they make up their mind and make their ruling. So we went home from the Supreme Court, not knowing anything, and we waited for another few months and till the decision came out. So when it came out, it was very anticlimactic. It was just, thank God this is over. We did the right thing. And my biggest fear was, I was just screwed up for everybody because the lower court said that any display of religion in the public square could get you terminated. And that scared the crap out of me because I'm sitting there thinking, if this stands and we lose this case, everybody in America is gonna be screwed because of what I did, and it was gonna be on my shoulders. So I am so glad we weren't, just so I didn't mess it up for everybody. - Chung-chung, yeah, kind of. As soon as you said it, dude, that's all I kept thinking in my mind. I didn't hear a word you said after that. No, dude, I was locked in. It's the greatest sound effect in television history. Do they put it in the movie? - The greatest sound effect in television history is Stone Cold Steve Austin's "Walk on Me." - My God, dude, I know you love it, but it's not my, like, the Chung-chung does it. - Play the song, find the song, Bob and play it. - We play for the coach. Maybe he'll come out to it at the next movie. - Yeah. - Premier, when he takes the church house. - Keck Neil McDonough, right in the face. Boom. - Yeah. - You like that Neil? - You like that Neil? - No, Neil's a good guy. He is a good guy. Fantastic actor too, by the way. - He is, yeah, he doesn't always play villains. - Here we go. Ladies and gentlemen, Coach Kennedy and that boom. - Yeah. - We walk out to Stone Cold Steve Austin. - Stone somebody. - Stunned, yeah, stunting eight-year-olds. - Wouldn't it be great if it just two beers and crash 'em and yeah, that'd be perfect. - Oh, that'd be awesome. That'd be awesome. You look like a wrestling fan too. - Oh yeah, absolutely. I was a wrestler when I was a kid, 'cause I was real-timey. I was fortunate until my sophomore year, I didn't play football or anything. So wrestling was my passion, man. I love to freakin' grapple and do the USC stuff. That's where it's at. - All right, perfect. You're perfect for this. Don't say a word. None of you say a word, all right? We've had this ongoing debate. Who is the greatest of all time in WWE or WWF or WCW? Grace, rest, whatever. - I gotta say Hulk Hogan, I'm sorry. - Yeah! - How old are you? - How old are you? - 6'5". - Okay, so dudes in their 50s? That's their answer. - No, dude. That's the whole time, bro. - Dude's in their 50s, that's their answer. - Hulk Hogan. - If you grew up in the-- - He R&D, dude. - If you grew up in the attitude era. - You gotta respect the gun. - No, if you grew up in the attitude era that you're gonna say-- - It's like Jordan. - You're gonna say the rock or you're gonna say Stone Cold. - No, dude. It's the same Jordan LeBron debate that's going on now, and I'm like, no, dude, it's Jordan. - It's not though. - Not saying Hulk is like, same wilt. - Yeah. - Or like Bill Russell. - Yeah. - It's not. - Yeah, it is, yeah. - He's the fucking goat, you wrestling doesn't exist if it isn't for Hulk Hogan. - Yeah. - That's true, and baseball doesn't exist if it's not for Babe Ruth. - I know. - But nobody thinks he's the best baseball player ever. - I do. - No, he's not. - I think Babe Ruth is still the best. - Yeah, yeah. - Nope. - He's not even close. That's because you went to the same high school at the same time as Babe Ruth. - I'm super young, dude. - No. - I'm 33, Coach. - No. - This is an age thing, that's all that is. - I think I got recruited by them like a couple years ago by the senior couple of hundred years ago. - So we got two of them, who's the other one? - No, I'm alone on this. Yeah, it's me and you and the Hulk Hogan. - And literally everyone else. - No, it's not. Who do you got? - Anybody that's under 50. - But who's your guy? Who's the number one? - Number one of all time. - I think you said The Rock. - Yeah, it's gotta be so cold. See, Boston. Not The Rock. - Okay, don't go. - But just that, it's not even just about him. - Yeah, by far, yeah. - He was my favorite, by far, he was my third. - Yeah, it's not just about the individual though, it's about the time period. Hulk Hogan had to carry it because there was nobody else that could do what he did. The attitude era is filled with talent and two separate organizations to include Hulk. - No. - Yeah. - They needed Hulk to get the attitude era. - They didn't. - Sure did. - No, no. - Hollywood Hogan? - Hollywood Hogan? - He was in a separate organization. He wasn't part of attitude. - God, he was the best. - That was NWO. It NWO was great. - Zelda, who's yours? - I mean, you just kind of have to give it to The Rock or Stone Cold. They're not my favorites, but The Rock for sure is just like the guy. - Well, who's your favorite? - I mean, they're so-- - The generation, I was probably, you seem like a DJ next time. - But even The Rock, man, when you watch that documentary, they fucking hated him initially, and then it turned. - Whenever he went and healed that first time, it's when he got popular. - I mean, I went through like an Eddie Guerrero phase. - Good war. - Oh boy. - You're just being a control man. - Latino Heat? No. He died at 38 years old. - He did. He had a massive heart attack. - RIP. Why do you think that is, coach? - I don't know, you guys are just crazy. You don't know anything. - Yeah, you think so? You think so? That's probably what it is. - I mean, you know who is actually the most entertaining was Rey Mysterio, so. - I got Macho Man. Most entertaining Macho Man. - Yeah, Macho Man was great. I feel like Rey Mysterio broke a lot of people. Like, you have to suspend your disbelief a lot to watch wrestling and enjoy it. You know what I mean? And then when Rey Mysterio beat, was it like The Undertaker and The Big Show and somebody else all at the same time? They was like, "All right, man, come on now." - Day of the Beat Goliath. - Yeah. - No, not three Goliath's motherfucker. - He could. - No, he could. - You're doubting David in the Bible? - Yes. - Yes. - Yeah. - King David? - He only fought one. You can't fight all three, you know? - King David wasn't that great of a guy anyways. - Was he not? - No. - No, he had to hit a general. And the general's wife was named Baths Sheba and he sent that general to the front lines to die so he could bang her. And then God killed David. - Oh, yeah, he knocked her up. - Yeah. - And then he sent, yeah, his general to get killed. Talked about cold, man. - Yeah. - And he was peeping on her when she was taking a bath up on the roof. So, yeah, he's-- - And writing about it, yeah. Like a little fucking Nancy boy. (laughing) - The actual answer, though, for like the most athletic best wrestler to ever live was probably Rob Van Dam, though. - I mean, he was, but then you got it. Yeah, Van Dam was like just whatever genetics and gas he was on, it's a pretty good combination. I didn't think he was all that entertaining, though. Like Kurt Angle was an actual, he was a great athlete and shit, but I didn't think Kurt Angle was all that entertaining. The Rock and Stone Cold were so entertaining, so entertaining. - Oh, what about Goldberg? - I know. - He was on the show. - Goldberg. - He loves, he lives like 20 minutes away from him. Yeah, he's-- - Goldberg's awesome, but he also put on the worst match of all time with Brock Lesnar. - Not his fault. - Yeah, that might've been-- - Oh, yeah, yeah. - They want it, bro. - They want it by the script on that. - They sure did. What I was unaware of is that after the doc was over, there was, you know, small print at the end of all of these things is he's on our federal investigation right now for trafficking. - Who? - Vince McMahon. - Oh. - What? - Coach, you were on Dan's show earlier, you know.

Yeah, so the feds, when he bounced from that interview at the end of the Netflix doc, it said, he was the reason why they filmed it right before then. So yeah, the feds are going after him like they were going after Diddy for trafficking and I forget what the other things said at the end of the doc and nobody else could comment until after the federal investigation was done. So we'll see what happens there. Back to you though, in your movie, you had a book that came out. At what point did a production company or a movie studio approach you and say, "Hey, we want to make your life story into a movie. "Was it after the court verdict or was it pre-this?" - No, it was pre-it was right at the beginning. Somebody heard my testimony. Some event I went to, I don't even know what it was. And this guy comes up and named Troy and I'm sitting there thinking this guy's on coke because he's going 50 million miles an hour. And he's like, "Oh my God, I just heard that. "That needs to be a film. "I do films, here's my car." And I'm going, "Yeah, okay. "All right, dude, no more Red Bulls for this guy." But he was adamant about it and for years. And then we had the COVID dang and I was like, "This is never gonna happen." So in between then, we already had the screenplay written. So we just wrote the book and said, "Well, at least we can get that out there to people "because we can't make films." And then after COVID and everything and that writer's guild strike thing that they went through, we finally got to be able to make it. And yeah, so here it is now eight years into making. - Man, that's incredible. What was the budget on this? Do you mind me asking? - I don't know, I know it was under 10 million because they had to be under a certain amount so we could get waivers during that whole strike that was going on. So yeah, and we got a guy named Bob Katz, he's a financial dude. And he's a financial wizard. He could squeeze blood out of a tournament, man. I tell you, this guy is, he's a good one with the money. - And you have to be because when you do a football movie like this, you've got to have a ton of extras. There's people at the game. Then you got to get people out there in pads. And then you got to get insurance for it because there's a lot of time where the hits are real and people get hurt. And even that insurance policy can ring you up a decent amount on a budget like this. - Oh, absolutely. And we got some good actors. Eric Close is freaking phenomenal. And he's a kind of a good name. Amy actor was fantastic. Let me tell you, I had a crush on her back in the day. You remember Buffy, the vampire slayer? - Oh yeah. - There was a spin off of that angel and she played Fred on Angel. Yeah, so I had a crush on this girl when I was growing up. So it's cool to see her in real life and meeting her and seeing her play your wife on the big screen. - Yeah, I mean, does your wife get to meet her after that? Like how did that work out? Knowing that you had a crush on her and then boom, she's playing your wife. - See, that was the best part because when we were on the set, I actually, that was the first time we met her and I was like, "Oh my God, Fred, I had a crush on you." And she was totally embarrassed. And my wife turns around, she smacks me. And but they hung out for a few days and talked about roles and how their mannerisms and all the facial expressions that women are so great at. And yeah, they got along awesome. Eric spent about five minutes with me. He goes, "Ah, you're pretty simple. "I think I got you figured out." So any of you could blame me. - Eric Close, by the way, for the audience at home was in the hit series Nashville, also an American sniper as well. Who else is in the movie? - Ash, as far as names go, I don't know anybody's names. The director of Tera Tronk, who writes a lot about actually a bunch of horror films under a different name, but him and I are just so good friends. That dude just cracked me up to know and a week. And this is called Awesome Woods. He's a newcomer. He's the one who plays me as a Marine in my 20s. And Andrea, what's the name? Figueroa, she's just this beautiful girl that was awesome. So a lot of people just are getting their name out there just by doing this film, 'cause they were hungry for work and everybody was jumping on it. So we got to really pick the best people that we wanted. - Yeah, and that's where I was going with this, where some of the bigger names, when they see something like this, they don't necessarily want to get involved in a religious film. They don't want to get involved in what they view as a rights-leaning movie like this. Although, in my opinion, the constitution has nothing to do with the right or the left in this. But there is pushback from Hollywood and that's real. I'm sure the producers talk to you about it as they were casting and going along this journey, right? - Yeah, and it's sad because a couple of people, they didn't even show up for the premiere of it. We had in LA at the Chinese theater because their agents thought it was too political and didn't want to bring them over and make a big showing of it. And I thought that was just sad. To all the more reason we got to fight for our rights because there's people like that that are afraid to stand up and be who they are, especially with, you know, driving me nuts. They talk about diversity, equity, and inclusion. Well, last time I checked, that means everybody. If you put everybody into that group and you cannot exclude anybody, like Christians or people of faith or whatever, I mean, we're all the same. Everybody's got the same rights. So nobody should be backing down from anybody. It's ridiculous these days. - Paul Ray didn't sit out the movie premiere, didn't he? - Who's that? - Paul Ray, the guy who played the head coach. - No, he showed up, that dude's a trip. - I was gonna say, he rocks, dude. So yeah, I was like, he's sitting that out. - I see him. No, yeah, he, and the guy who plays the drill instructor and he's gonna be at one of the ones in Louisiana next week and I'm gonna jump up there with him and watch it. - So the movie comes out Friday. How many theaters did you guys get? - Last time I counted, it was like 2000, but I stopped asking 'cause it stressed me out too much. Yeah, nationwide, it's gonna be in every state. Interesting, it wasn't even gonna be played in my hometown back home, that, which floored me, which, you know, it's the left coast, so what do you expect, right? - Yeah, that's bizarre. So they said no, is it gonna be in there now? - Yeah, yeah, a bunch of people finally said, what do you mean it's not playing here? So a bunch of people got together and boom, now it's playing in my own town and less I heard it, that was sold out, thank God, and everybody can actually hear the whole entire story instead of just what you read on headlines of praying coach, because that's not me, dude, that's so far from me. - Yeah, but that's how they label it. And you need some catch or some hook and be like, "Yeah man, that's the praying coach movie." And yeah, but 2000 theaters is a big boy wide release, I can tell you that for a fact, like that's incredible. - Yeah, I don't know any of that stuff. I keep my head down and let it all go right over. - I do, and man, Star Wars gets like 4,000 screens, so the fact that you got 2,000 plus on this movie, I think it's gonna do very well, all these movies do very well. - They've been doing well, the director is the same director of God's Not Dead, which did really well in the theaters and-- - It's got like three sequels. - Yeah, so I mean, it makes sense, it makes sense. Look, ultimately, I was talking about this earlier with somebody with all of these plans to control the U.S. population that have come out, you know, since the 1960s really. They always end up failing in the end because American business is American business. It's, you buy something for a dollar and turn it into three bucks. And if people do that, then it's gonna work. And if it stops happening, I don't care what their motivations are, people will pivot. We've seen half a dozen Fortune 500 companies over the past six months get rid of all this DEI bullshit that's part of, and then the ESG stuff, like literally. And then multiple old school Americana companies as well, Jack Daniels was one, Harley Davidson, John Deere, the list goes on. At the end of the day, if it's not profitable, they're gonna move on to something else. And then in the end, verse, in this situation, if it shows itself to be profitable, they're gonna do it. - Oh yeah? - So that's the key is to build something. - Actually, we've been doing some pushback like the Bud Light commercial. I mean, that stumped the hell out of them. And even Target took a hit with all their stuff. So I'm glad people are starting to push back and say enough is enough. - Yeah, 100%. - And it's also determining which movies and films are getting made, and yours is. Bob, if you can pull it up, well, let's play the trailer on the show. We're on Patreon today, so who cares? We're not gonna get dinged for it. Let's bring up the average Joe trailer and watch it here. I think Austin Woods is a stretch though, Joe. I'm looking at you now, and he's a lot better looking for Christ's ex. Come on, man. - Amen. We're talking a 20 year old compared to a 50 year old. How was the stud back then? - Were you in the Marines back then, the 20? - Yeah. - Yeah, 20. I joined at 18. So yeah. - You were shredded, you were ripped, you were probably thin. - Absolutely, you know. Not that you're not thin now, I'm just talking back then. We were all trying to put on pounds at 18 years old, you know? - Oh yeah, but it was just that lean muscle, and now I've got sofa flex going on over here. - I love this shirt. Do you sell that shirt online? - No, I actually got, so I have my own lineup. My thing is two T-47, which is second Timothy 4-7, fight to good fight finish to race and remain faithful. But I went to the Spokane church in Alabama, and they had the shirt nuts and man, that is perfect. Can I get one of those? So I told them I was going to wear this on a bunch of the interviews and they were psyched about it, but it really states what people need to do here in America. Especially with the election coming up, that too many people have voiced out over the years, so we need to get in there and start voting and get off our butts. - Wait, is there an election coming up? - Yeah, there is, there's a little one. - Do you want to hear a statistic that will make you confused and angry? - Sure. - So active duty service members vote at a rate, the highest rate of any group of people, 75%. Veterans vote at the lowest rate, 33%. - Why is that? - I don't know. I sincerely don't know, 33%. - Let's break this down, I think I have an idea why. I think, let's take you, for example, and forgive me, coach, what year were you, did you deploy overseas? - Oh yeah, a bunch of times. - So Dan, obviously as well, I was working at Olive Garden, which is obviously a more dangerous job, but for the two of you guys, and I've talked to Dan about this in the past, once you realize you're over there and what had happened and there's no weapons of mass destruction and all that other stuff, do you think it's maybe because you're so jaded against the government that you potentially were over there risking your life for the wrong thing at that time, that when you get home, you're like, dude, it doesn't matter who the president is, because they don't have our best interest in mind. - Maybe. - Wow. - So now, yeah, for me, I was all opposite when, 'cause you don't question anything when you're in the service, you just do whatever they say. And when I got out and you start seeing all screwed up the actual, I mean, everything in America is, the Constitution doesn't mean what you think it means. I got jaded after I was out and saying, man, these guys are idiots. They don't have the slightest idea of what they're doing. And then you, like the last four years, man, I don't even know if I could have served during, if I was in right now over the past four years, I don't even know how people do it. So I became jaded after I got out. - Interesting. Yeah, because, you know, who was the guy on the show who told the sun? I think it was a drinking bro of the week who said he got stuck on the ship during COVID in the Navy for like nine months, wearing a mask. They couldn't leave the rooms and shit. Like, and it was gnarly. - Yeah. - For me personally, I've noticed a switch because obviously there's so many veterans, obviously the friends of Dan and that come in and watch the show 'cause we're live every single day. They, it seems more and more lately that they're voting to get out of war. Where they're like, hey, when Trump was in there, there was no wars for four years, that was a great time. I don't, you're not voting to go to war. And I think what this vote comes down to in 26 days is whether or not you're gonna have somebody send you to war for, you know, money or something else. Because, you know, you got Ukraine, you got Israel, you got Iran and Gaza and all that shit. So yeah, I think more veterans will come out and vote this time around, that's my guess. - I sure hope so. - Yeah, same here. Do you have any stats on that now? As far as registration goes, I know you were the one that really advocated for the hunters getting out there. And that has kind of taken off online. I don't know if you noticed. - Yeah, I mean, I, we don't have reports back from every state but in Pennsylvania, which is one of our target states, Republicans since 2022 have out registered Democrats by a factor three to one. - Okay. - And that's good news. - That's what's successful. - That is great news. 'Cause Pennsylvania will probably decide this. It could be an early night or it could be a long night. - Maybe, maybe it is Pennsylvania that decides it, but to be honest, the recent stuff that we've seen, she's losing six of the seven badly by four more points right now, like outside of the margin of error. So I don't know, I don't know, I think it'll, we'll see, we'll see. - I think Pennsylvania falls though earlier in the night, you'll know. - Yeah, I mean, definitely that'll be the key. - 'Cause what I don't want to wait on is Arizona, Nevada that night. Coach, we do a live show. - Oh God, or Georgia, yeah. - I know. - God, I puke. - Yeah, Coach, we do a live show every, every election and last, like the 2020 was long. That was really long. And I got super drunk, said some things I might, my regrets, totally kidding. I never do. - Give me both. - Yeah, never do. Bob, let's play the trailer for everybody real quick here. And let's watch this here. For average Joe, it comes out on Friday in over 2000 theaters across the nation. (birds chirping) - Are we ready? - I've been fighting my whole life. - Joe's of Anthony Kennedy. - I was a hellion of a kid. I knew nobody wanted. - One, two, three, four, you had to get three, four, (dramatic music) - So, you told me that saying a prayer on the 50 yard line was the thing that was gonna give me in the biggest fight in my life. You cannot tell me that God doesn't have a sense of humor. (bell dings) - Denise, could I see an office for you, please? - I want you to play in the locker room. - Do you not see hub surfaces? - Kennedy, do your job and get them in the locker room. - I get it, that's not fair. Nobody cared for seven years, now they do. - I bet you can guess where this is going. (dramatic music) - I made a promise to God. I can't let him down. - I believe they violated your rights. - How do you think the superintendent looks at me when I didn't even know my husband had filed a complaint? - You can't quit now. - But God doesn't need you to defend him. - I'm not defending God, I'm defending the people of this country. - Yeah, the same people who are sending us hate mail. - And that is their right. This case is gonna take years to litigate and there is no guarantee a judge had a rule in your favor. Are you up for that kind of fight? - You're appealing to the Supreme Court? - I can't stop, not now. - It's been three years of our lives to incomplete the upside down. - I have been the collateral damage to this whole thing. - Will you finish this with me? 'Cause I can't do it without you. (dramatic music) - What is it gonna take before your husband gives up this ridiculous mistake of days? - I really don't appreciate your telling me. I don't know who speaks to me about my husband, not me again. (dramatic music) - Hold on, I don't remember any fireworks. - That's exactly how I remember it. You can decide later which way to film it. (dramatic music) - I'm proud of you, and then what happens? (dramatic music) (dramatic music) - One thing everyone needs to know is that it's all her fault. - Buss. - You don't want to talk to me that there are still things worth fighting for. Ura. - It's a great trailer, coach. This could do pretty well this weekend. I'll be tracking it in the box office. One thing in the trailer I wanted to ask you about, is it true that people were holding up signs that had no prayers on the field? - Yeah, I don't know if you caught this part of the whole story, but he's in Seattle. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know you're in Seattle. - They hate everything white or Christian up there. - But is that true? They actually showed up with signs that were crossed out of like, hey, don't pray? - Oh yeah. Oh yeah, it was huge. We had, I don't know, almost 10,000 people had a high school football game, if you can imagine that. But we had it on both sides. I think we had more people cheering for us, but then they had these quacks that showed up. We had the Satanist group show up. They were in their black robes, wearing goat horns and black makeup. Dude, talk about a freak show. They came in for us, man. It was absolute chaos at school. - That's wild. By the way, we're in Texas. So 10,000 people to high school football games kind of the standard. - Yeah, that's JV here in Texas, you know? - Yeah, that's about 10 times more than we ever have, probably way more than 10 times. If we get 150 people at our game, we're doing good. - Well, hey, they all bought tickets, right? - They sure did. As long as they're buying tickets. - You can go for it. - Yeah, I broke all you want, buddy. 'Cause you bought it. - Yeah, come in by some hot dogs, man. We'll do it, yeah. - Exactly. You gotta take care of the school, take care of those concession stand workers too, as well. Any thought of moving out of there after this, where you were just like, dude, I can't stand this? - Yeah, we did. Yeah, we moved four years ago down to Pensacola, Florida. There was nothing going on with the courts at the time, and my father-in-law wasn't doing good. So my wife and I moved down there to take care of him, and we've been down there for the past four years. We're down there until he's not with us anymore, so who knows how long we're gonna be there? - And obviously, you're probably tracking the storm, I would imagine. - Yeah, it's just gonna miss us in Pensacola, but man, talk about Florida getting beat up every week. Geez. - Yeah, this'll be, what, back to back in how many days, 12 days, or something like that? - At least you've got a real governor, though, which is nice. North Carolina. - Oh, yeah. - Oh, there's a bunch of states that don't, that would, you know, put down their leg if this happened there. - No. - And North Carolina is definitely doing that right now. I mean, Jesus Christ. - Yeah, absolutely. - We've got it. - I hope so, I hope so. You still gotta ask the fucking dude in charge of the states, and you gotta figure out a way around him with DeSantis, at least he nuked everything off the top, and said, look, we're not doing anything this bullshit. - Well, he did a lot of fun stuff, so today, they released a statewide, I guess it's an ordinance, I don't know, but that bars pedophiles and sex offenders from coming to end of their hurricane shelters. So if you're a registered sex offender, learn to swim, bitch. - That's true. - Fuck yeah, sure. - That's amazing. - Yep. - That's amazing, yeah, you got this one. - Lord has landed the free, that guy's awesome. - Yeah. - Yeah, before you came on-- - He's the most boring guy in America, but he's one of the smartest. - I know, we were talking about that the other day. His policies are great, but yeah, on camera, he's boring. Did you, have you seen the Lieutenant Dan video? - We were talking about it earlier before you came on. - Yeah, that dude that's on a sailboat that's just not gonna leave. He's in the Tampa Harbor. He's in the Tampa Harbor at a 20 foot sailboat. He's like, "Ah, it'll be fine." - Oh my, oh, I gotta watch it. I hope they got a live cam on that. - Yeah, well, there was a guy that went out and interviewed, and we showed at the top of the show here before you came on, and he said he's gonna stick it out and stay on this 20 foot sailboat, and he's in Tampa. So he's in the Tampa Harbor. He's in the heart of it before this thing kicks in tonight. Or now that you just said what you said, maybe he can't get into a shelter, and no one knows. He's a homeless dude out there, a homeless veteran who lives on this boat, and he says it's fully paid for, and it's fine, and he also brought up Noah today. He said, "Look, Noah made it, so why can't I?" - I'll take some odds on that if you guys got that going on the side. Let me know. - I'm glad you brought it up. We actually do. So there's a thing that we posted earlier from Ritardo Casino. Pardon me, Ritardo Casino, and-- - Which is a real thing, apparently. - 66% of people think he's gonna live and make it through the storm, and then there's 33% that think he's gonna die tonight. Dan and I think he's gonna die tonight. - I'm in, die, yeah, dead. - Yeah, it's just a good old-fashioned death bull, you know? And I like that. The other thing, too, about your movie coming out right now, it's in the, you're in the height of college football, high school football, pro football season. I think there's gonna be great numbers on this, and I'm looking forward to it. It is showing down the street here over at our local theater, too, right down from our studio. So I mean, you're as wide as you could possibly get with an independent film, which is really, really impressive. - Yeah, I hope you guys see it now. Please give me some feedback. Give me a call back afterwards, and then you can bust my balls on it if it sucks. - Did you pop in and do a cameo at all? - Yeah, yeah, my wife and I, we play school board members. So we actually are the ones that fire myself and kick my wife out of the room. So it was one kind of little jab at the school district we got to do, which was fun for us. - That's awesome. Any method acting there because of the rage that you had at the time? - No, I just had that dumb look on my face that always do. - Well, we're looking forward to seeing it. Now's the point in the show. We get to this thing called the drinking bro of the week, which is someone who has inspired you or helps you become the person you are today. Who would you like to give the drinking bro of the week, too? - Ooh, man, I got to do it to Trump. The guy doesn't give a crap what people think. He's a man of his own and he doesn't have to do this, but he's doing it because he cares about a country. That is cool, that man in the week for me every single time. - That's awesome. I'll certainly be voting for him here as soon as early voting starts in a couple of weeks. - Yeah, Texas is 17 days before the election to four days before the election. So I guess that would be November 1st would be the last day, I think, and it'll start here two weeks now. I think it's like the 15th or something like that. - Yeah, next week. - 15th, I think, yeah. - I'm looking forward to that. Before you get out of here, obviously this is a football movie at the heart of it as well. What's your favorite football film ever made? - Wow, I saw so many of them, like the Rudy and what was that one with the Eagles? - Mark Roll, Berkeley, dude. - Vince Papali, yeah. Delco loves the answer, dude. Yeah, loves it, and that's one. - I don't know, did you guys see Woodlawn? It was a put out, it was an awesome film, but I don't know very many people that saw it, but that one really hit me too, so. - Oh. Man, I don't know. - Rudy's good, dude. - Dude, I'm on the phone. - So Rudy still gets me. Rudy still gets me, for sure. It was on some time last year and one of my kids was watching it and I sat down and watched it with him. I still got choked up at the end. - Yeah, but the one that influenced me more than any of them, which was I think the budget on that was about $38 was facing the Giants. That's the one that got me into coaching and the one that saved my marriage during the whole lawsuit thing between me and my wife. That movie showed up twice, so that had the most impact on me ever, and so if a movie that isn't even made that well can have that much impact on somebody and change the trajectory of their life, you know, and there's hope for this movie and I think people hopefully will be touched by it. - Yeah, and for me, like, I can't really answer it 'cause I'm biased. They made a movie about a football movie about my life. It's called Radio. You know, it was a young black man who's been really retarded, yeah, so I, you know, I signed off the rights on that. - That was a good movie. - Thank you. - Real good movie. - Thank you. They portrayed me really well, and I was lobbying for Cuba Good and Junior to play me, and I was really lucky and fortunate that he did. No, but I'll go with Friday Night Lights. - Oh, okay. Oh, Varsity Blues. - Oh, yeah, but for two different reasons. Like the comedy aspect of it, I love whipped cream bikini, obviously, and Ali Larter, but Friday Night Lights was so realistic that I was like, oh shit, god damn, I felt like people were really getting hit in that thing. - Oh yeah, man, there's some good ones. Oh, a lot of good ones. You know, once she started talking and it's like crap, we should make a list and-- - Any given Sunday, the original longest yard with Bert Reynolds, which should have never been remade in my opinion, they're making another one now. - Yeah. - What do you got? Well, Bob, we'll go around the horn. Favorite football movie? - Movie, yeah, I'd probably go Varsity Blues. - I also wanna clarify Invincible. Invincible Poly that year, they went like three and 13. The other that he got cut, they made the Super Bowl, so he was probably the cancer that held him back. - That's an Eagles fan that's talking to you, Joe. That's an Eagles fan that's talking to you. - Yeah, you say to your fan, that's all you gotta do. - Yeah, 'cause Jalen hurts my go three and 13 this year, you know, and it's like, is he better than Finn's Pappalli? We don't really know. - He's much better, yeah. - We don't really know. Who do you got? What do you got for best football movie? - Um, Water Boy. Ah, shit, dude. That movie, I laughed from the moment it started until the moment it ended. The whole thing, especially all the weird stuff with Henry Winkler, like this stuff's going on in his head. Oh my God, it's so funny. It's so funny. - Adrian. - Exactly. Speaking of which, I was watching some footage with Joel and Gary last night for this week's street gone. So, you know, he's wearing a Bobby Boucher jersey this week. - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. - And there's a black guy there. Joel, does that make the cut, that black guy who came up and did the Bobby Boucher voice to Gary in the middle of the interview? Really funny, dude. I forgot about how great that film was. - I mean, the cast is crazy too. It's Winkler, Kathy Bates, Jerry Reed, isn't that right, dude. I mean, that's a great, I love that movie. - I haven't seen it in like 20 years. - Does the last Boy Scout count as a football movie? - Yeah, hell yeah it does. - Oh absolutely, yeah. - Hell yeah, it does. - It starts with a fucking running back, shooting his teammates. - Yeah. - Yeah, well, you know. - That's pretty realistic. - It's pretty realistic. - All the rage nowadays with your celebrations. - That's University of Georgia. You just described right there. So, I mean, it's a lot of convicts on that scene. But yeah, thank you for being here, coach. Super inspirational story.
