So, we're going to go with the start with Tommy. Thoughts on Shawshank Redemption. You know, I don't, this movie came out what like 1994 or something. I didn't see it until about six months ago. First time ever started just kept putting it off. Kelly kept bugging me my wife kept bugging me to watch it I finally sat down and watched it and it's one of my all time favorite movies. It was awesome. And I'm not a big Timothy Robbins fan. Who's really good in it. Morgan Freeman I thought was excellent his narration and it really gave the movie some soul with his, you know, his iconic voice. And I thought the underrated people were the, the Clancy Brown and the guy that played the warden were awesome as the kind of the villain. I won't say the villains but the kind of the antagonist and I thought William Sadler who's been a million movies playing. I think he was Hayward in this one. He, I love him and almost everything he does. He was another really understated character in this, but I thought he kind of stole every scene he was in. But I really thought the, the whole, the whole script was awesome. I mean it's just, it's just a movie that is timeless and we always talk about if it has little sayings and stuff that you can say well, our man Ray I believe it's a Ray has the tattoo. What does it get busy. What is it again Andy I get get busy living or get busy dying. Yeah, so that I mean that's, we say that all the time. So my, my rating. I'm going with a 9.2. Good Thomas. Very good. So let me, let me weigh in before we go to the Phantom and Brad, because Brad's got some notes. That's why we love them. So let me, let me tell you, I'm going to give it a scores from the guys that could not attend this weekly pageant, I should say, Ray gave it a solid 10 rookie score. Rookie school, taggy, 8.3. Forgot the really likes of movie 8.3. Respectable. And 9.6. And yes, they're the ones that several one was. Oh my God. Okay. Hey, that's why this segment, that's why the segment works. That that movie is no longer called Rogue one is now called rope 10. Yeah, 10 for the rest of. Yes, thank you. So let me weigh in before we go to two experts. I'm just going to step right in for a minute. So I've been trying to rewatch these movies. If it's been a while since they've seen them just to give it some really clear thought on my, my thought. But timeless movie, great story. It does, it's not dated at all. You can, you can watch as Tom said he had never seen it before sat down and watched it so it's still old weight. Is it really quotable? And there's, there's a few here and there, but you gotta, you gotta know the movie to know the quote. It's not a casual quote more, more life lessons and, you know, deep thought in this movie, but a great, great movie. I love the story. If you've never seen it. Everything kind of plays out in the end the way it kind of kind of, it's not a dark ending so I'm going to give my rating. I thought about flip flop the couple of times as I was watching it but for me, Tom, I'm almost on your same page 9.1 Fan? I gotta say, I love this movie. This, this, this is probably on my Mount Rushmore movies. This, from start to finish. It's got everything that you can eat. It keeps hope alive. It's the, the resiliency of Tim Robbins throughout the movie. And then he even kind of rubs off his, his hope onto Red who was a Morgan Freeman's character, which is my favorite character in the movie probably because he's doing the narration of it. But yeah, it's, I love it. It's, it's so good. That's a movie that is like two and a half hours long and at no point are you like looking at your watch going, I mean I can't wait for this thing to be over with. It carries, it carries through pretty, pretty well for me anyways. And I ended up finding out later on that Tom Hanks turned that roll down to do Forrest Gump, which is actually another one of my favorite movie spot up. We can probably get to that at another time but I'm coming in high here. I'm going 9.3. Somewhere in between me and Tom and Ed. So you're right in, right on that dot board right in that bull's eye area so I was going to agree with you, right on the same thing after you said it about the, you know, all those little points about it. It's timeless, the message, everything. And Keith brought up some pretty good points this week he had sent it on the tread I don't know if anybody saw it where there's a bunch of things. I sent it to Tom, just so that we could mention it but go ahead Brad. What do you got for a score. Oh, so for this move, this movie. I really like Stephen King films. Well, I like Stephen King books. I tend to find that the movie adaptations always kind of fall short, and although I haven't read this novella by Stephen King I believe it was called Rita Hayworth and the Shawshain redemption which is neat because Andy hangs a Rita Hayworth poster in his cell. So they always like throw little nods and little things in there like that I was Stephen King movies when they're adapted and stuff like that like in the mist. Oh boy, he's painting a picture and it's that thing what's his name from the towers books, the sheriff guy. Do you know what I'm talking about Andy? Yeah. Yeah. So there we throw little tidbits and Easter eggs in the movies like that so what I didn't know not, you know, I guess now watching it back it makes sense to Andy. There's a whole like religious allegory this like Andy was allegory for Jesus. The war was allegory for Satan Mexico. It was just, you know, an allegory for heaven. The guards were the Pharisees the prisoners were like his disciples so a lot of biblical undertones a lot of you mentioned it a lot of tone undertones for like friendship, hope, resiliency stuff like that. It's actually great design DB's highest rated film is the highest they gave it the highest score which I think, according to them's like 9.2 or 9.3 something like that. My biggest issue with it is too long. I like that I'm not a fan of super long movies I'm a fan of 19 minute movies get in get out. I like to save the longer movies for like the Star Wars the Avengers those kind of action packed war thriller movies. So row one, I would have to rate this movie I guess 6.2. Because to me it's just not quotable and it's too long. I'm not a dick and I'm not going to use that scale because a real movie buff doesn't write movies on whether they're quotable or not. I mean this movie because it does have a lot of religious undertones it is more than just like a friendship surviving general type of film. It was a really really outstanding movie. I'll give it a solid 8.6. That's as high as I'll go. I noticed too when I had rewatched it something I didn't notice years ago which I mean it's kind of glaring. When you brought it up and I forgot to mention it was you know if with the way that the phones are now if you're looking at your phone during a movie you're trying to review or rewatch it. It's pretty much not holding your interest the way that you know so this movie from start to finish I actually got out the DVD when old school popped it in and sat there and watched it because I wanted to not be you know disturbed by any buffering or any of that bullshit. Yeah. Totally totally agree. Anything to add Thomas. Well we give this thing a timpani film there. God smack is filming the video for a week there. The take on cash prison scenes were filmed there. Triple H has filmed a promotional poster there and I guess a little Wayne filmed a video there for one of his songs. I also wrote that it's creepy as fuck. Chief based in Ohio now and he probably got a little insight tracked on some knowledge of that folklore from you know you know the movies made it big when Family Guide does a spoof episode of it. Yeah absolutely down for a future reference on this on this editing going forward 8.7 not bad solid. I had seen that rating for it on one of these streaming services so pretty much in the warehouse with what we came up with. So I didn't get to pick. So I'm going to pick something seeing that we're going into Christmas. I want everybody to go back and watch it Brad not few it's only half an hour a time. So it's not going to be a big movie of all time. Tom's already smirking. Very quotable. And it's just been Christmas. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Is that let's go. Yep. Thomas can't explain about the amount of men Christmas. I thought you were going to say. So you're the oldest one in the group so I think you should actually explain it to the youngsters in the group. So I think you're the oldest one in the group. Uh, came out in 1977. The infancy of HBO was a Christmas movie that Jim Henson put together with the, uh, with a bunch of muppet characters that they've never used again. It's like a cult classic they've, uh, they've made children's books about and, uh, give it a half an hour. We're going to come up with a, uh. A good review of that next week, especially when one of Ed's favorites to watch that many a time. This is Jugby and Christmas sets off a month watch. This is, this is where you, this is where you find out that he has an uncomfortable love for muppets. No. That's me straight. Here we go. Months go. Do you, do you or do you not have the feeling like WWE got caught up just in, I don't know, leading up to bad blood or something. I don't know. It's like they forgot survivor series was coming. And they were like, oh shit. We got a slap together, a five E five women's match with a bunch of people who aren't related intertwined or connected. We just throw them out there in the ring, put Rhea Ripley in it with her scary face mask. Still hot. I don't care. Still muscle mommy with the stupid mask on and everything. And just throw her in there and start head button fools. And they're like, check, we're done. And then they're like, oh shit. The rock isn't actually going to show up and take a spot. Like everybody can kind of thought, you know, he shows up for bad blood, makes a big fucking scene. His movie is currently bombing in the box office. So you know, he's going to come to WWE to try to push that and, you know, generate some hype. That's what he does every time a movie comes out. But I just feel like they kind of dropped the ball, man. I don't know. Maybe we'll have some surprises because I know Tallatauga is rumored to have showed up. Zilla Fatu is rumored to show up, but we haven't seen them or heard of them or that rumor mills kind of died down. And I think one of y'all predicted last week, right? That it was going to be Brock or Sam Punk, somebody that is connected to Paul Heyman. Yeah. So spoiler alert. If you haven't seen Smackdown. It was exciting. It makes more sense than Seth Rollins. So I mean, I'm a huge punk fan. So I'm there for it. I mean, it seemed like to me when I watched it, that it was a little bit like anticlimactic a little bit like it was cool. But it seemed like to me that they had something else planned and it fell through. And that's kind of what they went with. What the women's stuff aside because, you know, that's just. I'm asking to be boring shit anyway. Yeah. I mean, you, you, you have the potentials of guys getting, you know, getting the juice out and all that stuff. And then there's, and then the women come out and it's like, Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's time to go, you know, eat or do something else or call me when this. Yeah, Ryan, did you feel the same way when you, when you saw the punk thing? Yeah. I think they, they're trying to like sway your imagination with getting Paul, Paul Heyman always with the shirt and tie. He had on the red shirt, like solo with. So they try to get you think that something's going to happen somewhere or another. I thought I totally agree with Brad. That's like a throw together thing. That's easy to throw pumpkin. That's a free pop. So that's a, we'll see what they do with the story. If, if they can actually bounce anything off of it. They, I saw a thing online where they were saying that he was, uh, Heyman was like shooting the wink at, uh, at Jimmy. And, and then kind of like looking off Roman Reigns. So I guess there's always that, that some kind of this where they should break up the whole, you know, maybe where they get the two factions that some pieces of both ways might actually end up fitting into one. And then they can go, go from there because it's getting a little, getting a little boring. I think everybody's always waiting for the other, the other cousins that everybody knows about to show up and they never show up. So it's like, that was a great chance to bring back Rakeshi. And you've been talking on, on, online and on Twitter that man. So, you know, we didn't say no to getting involved. We're going to, we're going to bring out the elders to smack around the kids, go old school on them. Uh, Cody thing, uh, with, um, Kevin Owens that, didn't they already do that already? Or is that kind of like, you know, is that like, interesting enough for that storyline or for the Saturday night's main event? It's a hook Hogan main event from back in the day. It's coming though in December. The first time though, Cody came out was like, Hey, Kevin, you're a great star. You earned it. How about a main event. And then they weren't even the main event. You know, like, it was a squash match and it was, it was a good match, but it wasn't like memorable. Um, so I will say now, it makes more sense. Cause that promo they cut was phenomenal. Like I was on the edge of my seat. I felt all the emotion. And then, you know, KO just said what a lot of us were thinking is fans like, why are we going to put Roman Reigns back in power? Why are you going to team with him after we just took him down? Like that shit made zero sense. So he's kind of saying what we felt. So I like that part of it. And then Cody goes backstage and gets into it with mellow, which he's already done too. But mellow is kind of like, yeah, dog, he just said what we were all thinking backstage. So I like the setup because there is a transition coming in. It's got to be heel Cody is got to be coming because people at the, if his friends start turning on him, the, you know, Kevin Owens was like, Oh, I lifted you on my shoulders at WrestleMania. I was there. I helped you. How's this? How was that? Then you teamed up with him at Bad Blood. Da da da da da. I'm like, dude, it's, it's calming, man. I'm waiting for Randy Orton to come out and say the same thing. So he's hurt, boy, isn't he? Yeah, he got hurt with a pile driver, but you know, he'll be bad. And then they kind of outlawed the pile driver too. Did you see that? Yeah. That's cool. That's that's some old school stuff right there. Came to the pile driver anymore. I love that. They were saying that it was already outlawed. It was already outlawed. It's funny because before you came on, I was talking to Brad off before we started recording about a w and at full gear, they had Osprey or the other guy there, the other Australian dude pile drive him on the steel steps. Like a, like a tombstone. I'm like, where is the concept of what the fuck is going on with this shit? Did you end up watching for gear, right? Actually, I saw a little bit, I didn't see the whole thing. The one thing I will say about E.W. This shows kind of suck, but their people's usually always fucking good. I don't know because the matches, because the matches are decent or what, but usually the fees are all right. If you have six hours to kill. No, no, the Costco guys. No. They brought in the, could have watched those things three times in the time to watch it one paper view. Yeah. I don't have the intention span for that. We'll learn a lot about you, Brad. They brought in the Rizzler, like the kid into AEW. I'm like, how, how corny can we get it for just to get viewership and ratings. You take a really hot popular social media personality, just and put them on your show. I mean, WWE did it with Logan Paul, but it actually kind of worked. Well, that's, that's where I was going next, Brad, that I had heard a Roma that they're going to work that. Jake Paul Mike Tyson thing into an angle with Logan Paul and not Mike Tyson at WrestleMania. Did you notice this week on, I think it was smacked down the prime logo was back in the ring. It was back. And they hadn't had it in a few weeks. So I don't know if there's just a thing that sign of things to come or not. So do you think before we move on to the watch along, do you think that Brock Lesnar has done or do you think he'll be back? I don't think he's not with this. Yeah, I think since they got bought out by the guys from UFC, I don't think they're bringing them back. They don't want that heat. It's with this investigation going to the feds. They don't want that heat. All right, well, we're going to try something new for, you know, where the wrestling's a little stale right now. We're going to, I've been wanting to try to do this watch along with the fellows, especially Brad with some of the old school stuff. Some old school Georgia championship wrestling from old school TBS. So let me see if I can bring that up and get it going. If you can. See. You see that. Blank screen. Yeah, I got a stack. Oh, I feel like I'm watching Netflix for boxing. All right. Because you started sharing, but you see it now. Yep, there we go. It is small. Sure, you hear that a lot. All the time. All right, Thomas, there's your boy Abdullah. Geez, when does that picture with him? When did this come out, you said? Oh, this is probably from 76. Okay, so I wasn't even alive yet. No, this isn't going to be a classic. Yeah. Wait till you see the elbow drop, Brad. Wait till you see the elbow. There it is. Here comes. Wrestling had like five moves and then the match. You picked them up. Finishers meant something. You tell me he didn't do like five elbow drops in a row and the guy just kept getting up and bouncing off of it. Nope. Who's this now, AC? So that's, is that a. That takes later. I just can't see it. Well, I know that's roughly Tom Young. It's like it's in slow motion. Oh, yeah. Oh, motion for you. Yeah, it's like it's like minus. Like 2.5 or something. Really? Yeah. It's like the buffering thing almost works. I love this era of wrestling because I could have done it. Like none of these guys are in in like that great shape. And I can I just say that HD has killed me because I can't watch TV now without it being HD. Right. Like how do how do we survive before? Yeah. How do we survive before we had high death television? So, uh, you know, explain this to Brad. This was, uh, this was quite the thing. Yeah. Yeah, they blacked out the crowd like any W does because there's only 100 people in the crowd. Yeah. But that was a good show back then. Taped in front of a live studio audience. Yeah. That's before we had to lie about numbers and whatnot just to beat out our competition, right? Yeah. And the sad part is that now that we know how they do it with have like the, uh, the NXT type wrestlers in the crowd being some of the crowd who knows actually fans were actually out there. It might have just been jobbers that they had in the back playing the crowd. Yeah. NXT is weird for that, man. I don't know why they they plant their crowd members except for when they go on the road. Now they go on the road. Yeah. And he's working the knee just so you know, he's working the knee. I couldn't figure that one out. I'm just like, he's going to walk out of there with the lip. I guarantee you. You like the attention to detail how the fist is actually in the side of the knee like you're wrestling in the back. That's because if it sticks later, he's actually really doing it. He's really punching him. This is true. This is true. The true goal to this was the analysis actually making it seem poetic. Yes. Oh, yeah. What's only going solely. That's a that's a young fix later before, before you got any notoriety. Now, now what's the what's the YouTube rules for this because like I've watched the reaction videos where people play in full length music videos and then they're just talking over the whole time. Oh, every once in a while, they'll stop it to talk. It's like almost like they're breaking it up on purpose for like what what what can't you have the audio playing for. I don't know. It's something to do with. I don't know. Maybe Brad can shed some light on that. Like as far as like monetizing it, they allow you to do it. But if you want to, you know, attach anything to it for like ads or or something like that. You know, you're not allowed to like promote your own stuff like why you're, you know, kind of showing other people's stuff. But this stuff is all over YouTube. If the WWE, you know, has an archive. It's just they never break it open to show the stuff that people really want to see. That's the problem. That's my two cents on that. So what what's efficient move that roll up. Oh, it could be the back head to the nuts. Yeah, back of the head to the nuts for the classic. Hey, I know that guy. This is precast. Yeah. Oh, is that fun? Oh, yeah. Even I knew that. Hey, I had to throw you a bone. After all, you lost credit when you gave Rogue one, a 10. So I was the greatest movie star movie ever made. So I mean, it well deserved. Well, it's unfortunate that you can't hear the audio because Terry Funk was one of those guys known for giving some crazy promos. Oh, yeah. He was the absolute star of Roadhouse, by the way. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Hey, that's a good movie. We should review that one next. Y'all want to review Roadhouse is highly quotable. It would have to be at least a nine something based off your scale. You got to wait for your pick. Unless somebody takes it before you. Yeah, he's got to pick Rogue one again. He wants to become call for a recount. Just to the fuck with y'all. If I get a pick in December, it's going to be the Star Wars holiday special. I've seen it. I have it on vinyl. Listen to it old school. Yeah. That was only shown once and the only other way you can watch it's boot like. Yep. You can get it the whole thing on YouTube. So you figure this is probably like a match of 77. So right around the time of, you know, that whole Star Wars era. Oh, yeah, it's always rocking that suit. That that things come back in style already in three different times. Look at, look at Terry funk. Oh, oh, you know, that is Tony Atlas. Oh, that's Tony Atlas. Yeah. Right now he's ran somebody out. Right now somebody's asking to see his pecker wood. They got a touch of my pick up. It'll be the last time they ever let him do a promo. There's a man that knows so much about WWE and he only spent about two years there. It was, it was going like in the early 80s, but he's good. He's got all this knowledge of all the stuff that happened in the 90s. I'll say this, whoever's on their production team doing a black backdrop does not do this kind of service at all. He did, he did have a gimmick as the black Superman and came out in the Superman costume. Really? Yup. In world class. And he also was an African called Saba Simba. Yeah. In the Luke Cage vibes for the Marvel bus. What did you think of that show? The Luke Cage show, I vaguely remember it. The comics I thought were did, you know, a way better job with that character, but whatever. I found the best on that is the Punisher. Oh, the Netflix series. Yeah. Punisher was good. Daredevil was amazing. And also they've already brought Daredevil into the Disney shit. I hope they bring John Boyega's Punisher into the Disney stuff too. If not, that would just be dumb because people already love him. I think he's in the trailer for Daredevil. Oh, yeah. I hope so. That'd be awesome. Andy, who's that other, uh, other announcer? That's, I don't recognize that. Fred. Yeah. What the hell is this mean? He's, uh, a Mid-Atlantic, uh, correspondent guy. Freddie something. Gary Good news. Yes. He's got a great comb over that. Cola was awesome. That is crazy. Like all the white dudes are like flabby truck driver plumbers in the Tony Alice. It's just like absolutely jacked. Yeah. Yeah. That back then they all were, uh, you know, built like that. So I'm saying like, here we go. Looking at the dudes in the ring, I'm like, the four of us get hopping. Like put on a show. None of these dudes are in shape. Yeah. Do the same guy. What do you fight twice in the same car? Oh, no. The first guy you fought was a white dude. You know, he's full of cardio. Uh, Ryan. True stories. Look at, look at the height on that ring. Jeez. The back then they were slick. That was to make the guys look all tall. Yup. You know, referees, all little guys too. Yup. Oh, they're a weapon. He's got a weapon, Andy. And I'm breaking blade. People, people are actually, uh, you know, scared of him. It doesn't do much. Like the opponent just rolled around the ring and then it made someone like he did something. You never stayed in one place that long. The people like cheer for this guy for Abdullah. Oh, there were a rate of him. He was, he was, uh, ultimately a villain. Okay. You always had a manager, so he never spoke. Really. Tactic that they still try to use today. He, uh, was known for pulling out the foreign objects. Make the dudes bleed. Now right now is this video playing an Xbox. Where's that when we need him? I never, I don't remember, uh, Abdullah doing that move. No, no, I think he just pulled that one out. What? You know what this is? That's the finish up. Oh, yeah. There he goes. One and done. Oh, good. See that? That's Brad. That's the lost out of picking the guy up. You don't see that anymore. Nobody ever gives somebody the finisher and says that I'm going to lift him off the mat and do it to him again. Now the kick out. Here we go. Fantastic. He should have did it. We had the savage style off the top. That murder. That murder motherfuckers. I would have been impressive. He'd be out of breath by the time he got to the top. The head ain't busted up that much. Tom and this. Nope. He's still a fairly, uh, I won't say young young guy, but he's, like you say, he doesn't have the scars. Don't forget. He's got the iron sheep boots too. Yes. Notice that. Oh, they got to bring him out. He's dangerous. Unpredictable. Probably one more. Oh, Lars Anderson. Who the fuck see? That's one of the Anderson brothers. That's a shit one. Yeah. He makes only Anderson look like he had a personality. So now I know why the other two brothers were head beets. You guys are going to be bastard. That's, uh, don't forget about Jean, Ryan. Old man, Jean Anderson. Jean. I know this guy. Nope. This guy looks like the guy from Sons of Anarchy. Yeah. Oh boy. Oh, he does. It's not Pearlman. Is it just me? Do y'all miss these like backstage interviews like this for a promo? Oh, well, that that's going to serve a lot of purposes. He's, he's sort of getting you to go watch it live. Yeah. They'd be, they'd be talking about coming to promises. I feel like they don't do this often anymore. Like sometimes they'll have, uh, what's her name back there? Don't cut in a quick interview, but it's not like a memorable promo. Like these dudes used to cut gold. And he's in with me and Jean Ocarlin and all of them. You know what I mean? Right? Like they would just sit there and cut the promo of a lifetime. Uh, I don't think they do that anymore though. No, no man. Instead we get Cody Rhodes in the ring talking for 20 minutes. That's 20 minutes of gold. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, if you say that. Possibly the greatest announcer of all time. Who's that guy holding the microphone? Oh, oh, that's it. That's it for this week. Then blue line. All right. That's our stuff. That's our first trip into the watch along with Georgia championship wrestling. So let's wrap up the wrestling talk to this week and get into some Tom's shitty picks. Let's go Thomas. Before you do that, you want to talk about? Yeah. Oh, yeah, we can do that. Um, yes. Thoughts on, uh, the Bruins firing three Jack Adams award winners in a row. What is horrible. Nation. And all three of them. After they're firing. None of them made it to eight days following. They got fired. All three of them behind within eight days, which is kind of crazy. And one of the coolest family cups too. Your Montgomery. 120 and 41 and 20. 120 41 and 23 while it was with the bees and they fired. I mean, it's ridiculous. They got to get rid of Sweeney. I mean, as he's gotten a little better recently, but he doesn't do him any favors with his draft. His draft have been horrible. I think he's only had out of all the draft picks. He's, he's done in a sense. He was there. I think he got there in 2017. There's only been like 28 guys that he's drafted have made the NHL and like, I'd say three or four of them aren't even never played with the bees. They actually made it with other teams. You figure he, he, he watched the sway negotiations. What, whether you think he deserved the money or not, it shouldn't have gone almost to the start of the season. They should have been already resolved in the summer. And then once you get past that, he added Lynn home. And Zadorov, neither one has done shit. So his investment in, in the tender, in what he was going to add to the team to improve it has not gone well. There are, I mean, I think they've always last two years, even though they had that one historical year. I've kind of been playing a little bit over the head where I kind of feel like they should kind of be on the decline. And, you know, I think, I think as hot as it would be, you know, my, my team had to do with Kane. Andy's team did it with Jero. You can't have in this modern. I mean, you know, it looks great on paper. It's like, Oh, you know, they were always their lifetime Bruins, but you got, you got to flip those guys for younger guys at some point. Or is that eventually you, you're going to be like my black box in the bottom is going to follow and you got nothing when you have one of the best teams in the league. Right now. Well, it's going to happen about Pittsburgh. The rumor is, is that the Bruins kind of have a backdoor deal with Mike Sullivan to become the head coach when I guess he's supposed to get fired within the next week or two. And they are, they're kind of saying in the back kind of backdoor meetings, he's going to end up taking over for the bees. I was, I was kind of surprised that Monte ended up going to like bad team, like the blues. I thought he would kind of hold out to go somewhere better, but if you look back on it when he had his, when his little rehabilitation thing. The blues are the first one to give him an opportunity after he was done. So maybe, maybe, you know, he owes him one. I think that's probably maybe feels a little more comfortable going back there after the way that the Bruins treated him. Yeah. Brad, Brad, you can't be leaving during the fucking hockey. We try to segue the sports of all in, in together so well, real, real quick before we move on to Tom shitty picks Chuck Willery. Uh, legend of the, uh, Gen Xers and maybe a little bit before that. Uh, passed away Thomas spots on, uh, Chuck Willery. I remember to grown from love catching because my mother would always watch that. I didn't realize he was the first host of Will Fortune. I never realized that. Yeah, he was. Yeah, not, not a big tenure, but, um, yeah. So another one, another memorable TV face, uh, has come and gone. So he's got, he's, he had some good, uh, good plastic surgeons because he did not look 83 years old. Hey, Brad's illuminated right now. Brad is the whitest white man I've ever seen. Oh, it's crazy. Hey, it's funny that you said that Tom, my mother too. Also a big fan of love, love connection. Uh, yep. I come from feeling my mother would be watching it. Two minutes and two seconds might be a little bit too long to cover Chuck Willery. Yeah, so I was always a dating game, uh, fan newlywed game more than love connected. So that's my two time. Um, Thomas, let's do it. All righty. Tom shitty picks is brought to you by a Brock Street brewing company located at 244 Brock Street South in Whitby, Ontario. Everything is brewed in house, including their hard iced teas, their beers vodka sodas and their hard shelters. So if you're in the Whitby area, go check them out and tell them. Um, the 1973 podcast sent you. All right, so. I'm doing pretty well with these college picks. Unfortunately, the season is going to be ending fairly soon, but I won. I picked, uh, Ohio State to be Indiana and they did. They kind of extend it and kind of knew it was going to happen. Indiana hadn't played anyone in Ohio State playing at home. So, uh, this coming week, there's only a couple of games that have ranked teams playing one another and. Honestly, I think Texas is going to Texas A.M. So I'm going to go with, uh, number 18 South Carolina for 17 Clemson games in Clemson. I'm going with Clemson in this one. So Caroline has been a really surprising team to me. I never expected them to be this good after losing Spencer Ratler and a further off the team last year. Uh, thing I didn't realize is how good of a season the quarterback for Clemson's having, uh, Kate club Nick. Uh, I believe that that's a point in my passing touchdowns and only four interceptions and then he's got five rushing touchdowns. So I'm going to go. I think it's going to be a close game, but I'm going to go with Thompson. I want to do some football picks Thomas. Well, I've got, uh, five picks for this week, but go over to last week's, uh, thing. Uh, who had the best shaggy at the best week. He went 10 and four, uh, and then. Tom and Andy went nine and five and, uh, at one, eight and six. Ryan and Brad, Brad, you didn't give me your pick. So I gave you. Okay. So you went seven and seven. So. The, uh, standings right now, we're close. The standings, Brad's 113 and 53 and he's 112 and 54. Ryan's 109 and 57. Shaggy is, oh, I'm sorry. I, I'm 107 and 59. Uh, Shaggy is 97 and 46. They acknowledge me. Ryan, you look like you have a describe. Yeah. I'm like, Shaggy, what in the week is west of the road, the road one, 10. Yeah. We can't be having this. Yeah, we haven't shaggy winning anything. Show up anymore. So this week, I picked five games. There's only like three. Good games. And then the other two, I'm just going with some Thanksgiving games because it's. A tradition. So, uh, game one, I'm going to go with on Thanksgiving day. The Dallas Cowboys at home against the New York Giants. I'm going to go with Andy. Like I said, I'm here to make friends. I'll take the cowboy. All righty. Brad. Well, I don't. Back up quarterbacks, back up. Everybody's on the Cowboys. We got lucky this week. Still, I don't want to hunt with the only. Sports franchise in America across every brand of sports to not win a whole game in 2024. But. I think we might be able to beat the giants. You know, I think it's a great thing. You know, I think it's a great thing. It's a great thing. You know, it's a great thing. You know, it's a great thing. It's a great thing. It's a great thing. It's a great thing. It's a great thing. It's a great thing. You know, it's a great thing. It's a great thing. Thank you. Thanks. Given day, the Green Bay Packers at home against the Miami Dolphins, Andy. I told you a pack is Super Bowl. Give me the packets. All righty. Brad. They're packing it in fellas. Is that what they say up there? No. You want, you want some. I don't know. We say pack off pack off. They definitely packed it in for the 49ers. So, which I guess I kind of work. But yeah, it kind of works for them. So, um, I'm a big Green Bay. Yeah, you are wearing a yellow sweater and everything. My goodness. I'm going to go with Miami in this one. It's starting to coming around. To base place to their competition level. So, I'm going to go with Miami. I think two is going to have a big day with Tyreek. All right. Now we'll get to a few good games. Buffalo Bills at home against it. Andy. Let's take the bills. All righty. Brad. After how San Frans struggled in the frigid temps of Green Bay, Wisconsin, I think they're going to struggle and Buffalo. So Buffalo for that one. All righty. Ryan. I'm going to go bills too. They've been hot. Yeah, I'm going to go with Buffalo. I'm going to go on the premise that. All righty. All right. Another good game. Probably the game of the week. Baltimore Ravens at home against the Philadelphia Eagles. Andy. Give me the Ravens. All righty. I'm going to go with the Phantom because Brad Capati break. There he is. I know Brad wasn't here for the pick, but I know that he will take the same team as Andy. So don't even tell me what the teams are. Give me whatever pick Andy had. All righty. You're going with Baltimore. Phantom. I'm going to go Philly at home. Yeah, I am too. I think. Oh shit, Andy. We may have made a mistake. I think it's really hard to think things, man. You just got to keep feeding the ball to Derek Henry. Give this defensive break. I got to cut in for a minute. You're going to Philly at home. I'll fly as America's team. Number 39. Rookie of the year. That famous golf in overtime. Thank you very much. Thomas, continue. That's game. Minnesota Vikings at home against the Arizona Cardinals. Andy. Who was it? Minnesota Vikings and Arizona Cardinals. Minnesota. Okay. Are you asking me to tell him me? All right, Brad. This is going to wind up being a pretty good game. Arizona has kind of turned up a little bit. They show they can win with the run game, their pass game, their defense. Whenever they need it, somebody steps up. But I think the West Coast teams have. Travel up to the word. These. Minnesota's on a map. But I think Minnesota's going to will win this game. Minnesota is also playing really good football. All righty. Phantom. I don't know. It's just to be different. I'm going to go with Arizona. Yeah. All right. All right. So, uh, you know, it's, uh, which I go along on this podcast express. Thanks. Give an edition. And it's time to, uh, you know, kick it over to the Bradford to try to get some, uh, tenfold hat going here. Get some good banter. No one. I'm not doing the lead in. Yes. All righty. Brad's 10 foil hat conspiracy of the week is brought to you by the book, Loving Elliot, a fitting tribute to Undying Love written by our very own Andy Clark. It's available on Amazon.com. Elliot was the oldest special needs Jack Russell Terrier when he passed away at the age of 21. Thank you, Brad. Um, so I had a whole thing prepared. I don't know where it is about yoga mesh and, uh, all discoveries in Iraq, but and why we invaded Iraq for, um, but the lost city. I'm not talking about that. When we talk about is this year in the United States and in Mexico, there've been a lot of extraterrestrial, like landmark groundbreaking discussions going on. And not just between like a bunch of nerds talking about aliens and sharing videos on YouTube and talking tenfold hat and stuff on a pond. I'm talking about the US government. Having progressed congressional earrings and actually admitting to have an organic matter admitting to having, uh, you know, vehicles, unidentified aerial phenomenon. I don't know. Anyway, don't quote me on that. I'm not a very quotable guy, but, um, get a five. But they've been admitting all this extra terrestrial stuff. And then just recently, we talked about Google Earth, like blurred that image of the ocean off the coast of California, where now people are saying is like an underwater alien base. And then kind of brings up the battle of LA back in the, the 40s and then World War II. Do you all remember that? I've heard about this huge gunfight off the coast of Los Angeles. And they said Japanese war plans and encroached into our airspace, but like they never found any Japanese airplane wreckage or anything because they're blasting at the aliens and the UFOs that came out the ocean, the Google Earth blurred out. Anyway, the government, just in the last week, admitted in congressional hearings that those months actually live underwater in the oceans, like now it's a thing. And I don't know why more people aren't like, I only see it on TikTok and like some Instagram reels, but he's talking about it. The kid in me who was in the library is absolutely like, holy shit, this is a men in black moments. Nobody's talking about it. This year, the Mexican Congress convened where some scientists came in with like three mummified bodies of aliens, the city found them in Peru. And immediately people are all those are fake. It's a hoax and they just buried it. It was never talked about again. This year, the Miami mall had the largest civilian police response ever in the history of law enforcement for four kids fighting with sticks and shooting firecrackers. And then it comes out and through social media and TikTok and all these different social media channels that they were fucking aliens coming through portals. One guy even said they looked like guys in like Navy uniforms or some shit like coming through the portal. So, I don't know, man, there's been a really exciting year for UFO conspiracy theories. Like I said, the kid to me that grew up reading everything I could find on Roswell, reading up everything I could find on UFOs, every UFO book that my library had had checked out. So I'm like jumping for joy that like they're finally talking about the stuff, but like nobody cares. This should be like mainstream news. Nope. I don't get it. Brad, I don't understand why things take precedence over things that are groundbreaking like that. You know what I mean? Is it the, the election now overshadow say is that just people are that they had so far their own ass that they don't want to look at the the vast, you know, landscape of things. What do you think. I think a lot of this. All I was just going to say, I think like the normal human experience, you either believe in angels and demons and human beings. And like you can't comprehend that there might be another humanoid life form out there, whether they live in our ocean or on Mars. Or, you know, some other, some other plane of existence, you know, there could be just another earth on the same dimension. You know, Marvel's been hitting at that, you know, alternate realities and shit in the movies and in the comics. So, I think we would be fools to think that like we're just here on earth by ourselves. Totally agree. Yep. And it's, I don't think the government wants you to know I think that's why they released it because everybody was paying attention to the election. So, I don't know if they're what they're afraid of if they're afraid of like mass hysteria or what, but they, they just kind of misdirect you with one thing when, while something else is going on over here. It all comes to circle to as far as like, anything that anybody says that's against what you say, you tell them that it's full of shit everything everything's a lie everything on the other sides of life. So, and so now where everybody's everybody watches and like anything you see, you're already going to doubt in your mind like this is bullshit or not. Now all of a sudden now they're going to start releasing all this stuff I will be just under that under that cap of like fuck off aliens like good. This is BS like you're never going to you're not going to believe anything because they just want people just to go about their business and not really think about anything and they don't want any chaos they just want everything to. If all of a sudden in the news they were like legit saying that Oh, there was something in the sky and 100% of resilience you can have everybody bouncing off the walls is going to be chaos and they don't want that. I think two it topples the structure of everything that they've kept kind of in place, all these years like as far as goes back to the original conspiracy theory of all conspiracy theories is the structure of where we came from and what what human existence is it was it an alien and farm that was just seated for other things. And then it grew into something more due to, you know, every, every so often they come back and hit the reset button and change it the way they want to change it and then keeps growing and growing almost like, you know, you're playing a game of the old school Sims where it's a total like model that you're creating or like an ant farm how you know that just they're in this bubble and you know they come back and they, you know, add something to it or take a couple of minutes out or add new ants or, you know, it's, it's so vast and so mind blowing of how deep the roots go that you don't even know where to stop but I still think that, you know, the search for knowledge is the best part of the whole thing is, you know, putting the pieces together and kind of you know, hopefully in our lifetime will have some validity to some of the things that we always thought was BS but I don't know they, they seems like every hundred years, they do like this reset to keep everybody kind of on the same page and it's crazy how it's done because it's done in plain sight and you never even see it and then after the fact it's like oh shit, you know, so I don't know, like Tom said it's always sleight of hand they do something over here and it's always what everybody isn't watching and it's not a thing with Neil DeGrasse Tyson that you ever see that guy's like a scientist you kind of always has like stuff's usually pretty good and he was kind of saying that people can't fathom that like they compare us to monkeys but like we all we have like the exact same DNA everything well the monkeys only of like, well like I think it was like 1% of like our brain power compared to this as far as like what they can do, but people can't fathom that they could be something other than us that their intelligence we only have 1% of their intelligence and but people who can't blow it away like we're gonna be the smartest species ever they can be anything above us I think we've taught that Ryan, I think the way that society built the way we're taught to have that narcissism that there's, you know, whether you grew up religious or you grew up with a household that, you know, food food everything or whatever I think you just pushed into that corner and you know it's almost like the what if we are the aquarium and just some large vast galactus style characters living room, you know it's it's crazy to look at it like that and it's just so advanced they say that the aliens the way they communicate they don't even talk they use a mental plot that they so they put thoughts right in your head, you know, the way they communicate they don't speak they just you know, mind back and forth and communicate like that so I mean that it's like the I was never a huge ex files fan but like the tagline the truth is out there and it's it's a it's a search for knowledge for anyone to add anything to your Yeah, no, my rent is over. I'll just get super excited for me and I don't know like I really don't understand the government and, you know, rejected CIA document admitting to having organic matter and reverse engineering using the feeling and it's everything I heard about and dreamed about as a kid I was real, I've been waiting for this day and as weird to me that it's not on the ticker across my TV and like breaking news everywhere like it's weird Like we're so our society is so fucked because we're so obsessed with sports stars and celebrities and politics that we don't even give a shit when the government admits to have an alien In the 50s people would have rioted we would have fucking lost our shit You know that another good movie to review Mazda tax one one day yes we'll get to that that's a good one. Uh, yeah so anything you want to add at the end Thomas to point counterpoint with our breakfast I'm totally on board with what he just said. Yeah, Tom's becoming a believer Brad no more tin full half for the professor Nope, he's one of us The power of the jiffy paw pat at one time. Yes, I'm gonna break that out now when he does his picks for the ratings for the movies. Oh, the true conspiracy theory. Yeah. So, yeah, let's do them. Let's do some shout outs and bring it home for Thanksgiving. I'll start off this week. I just want to say thanks to the fellows for showing up and thankful for being able to do this with you guys every week Yeah, that's my big shout out Thomas.
