Samsung Galaxy S10 and Fold Discussion
00:00:08
Speaker
Hello and welcome to the mildly frustrating podcast. The podcast for all things, you guessed it, mildly frustrating. It's the Samsung Galaxy S10. It's got six cameras. For real? Yeah. Why? That they better have six different abilities. New smartphone cost $1,980 has six cameras. Nope. Yep. There's no way that's their like flagship because nobody's paying that much. That's the fold price. Hmm. 1980 for the fold.
00:00:37
Speaker
CT Mobile straight up said no, they're not going to sell it. I mean, why not? Cause it breaks. They don't know that yet. There's no proof that it breaks. The Samsung fold. There's no guarantee it breaks. When they got recalled. Before it got released. It wasn't broken. It wasn't broken. It just got recalled. Oh, okay. My bad. Yeah. It's next phone could pack six cameras and 5g. So could it's not confirmed.
00:01:05
Speaker
No, the cameras are on it because i've seen the commercial already, okay? Didn't that camera has didn't that phone has six cameras other day we saw Yeah, because we thought it was retarded a little like a bee's face or like a spider Like circles on six cameras and two batteries No, that's a lot for for rear and two two front facing. She went terrify the storage Yes, the new s10. It's their flagship phone is gonna have it
00:01:35
Speaker
That's annoying. Not their fold, but it's called the 10S+. Apparently they're just adding cameras now. I don't like that. Cause unlike iPhones, they don't have anything to add to the actual phone itself. Cause this is the greatest phone they make. Cause you can get, look at this, this phone can take six pictures at the same time.
00:01:55
Speaker
Six different pictures Would you want same thing but six pictures 16 megapixel ultra wide sensor cheese? fixed focus 12 megapixel dual aperture wide angle lens and Then a 12 megapixel telephoto lens do this and then selfies is a 10 megapixel front-facing camera with dual aperture That's pretty cool. They're gonna have colors like crazy, too. There's only a thousand bucks You said 1900
00:02:24
Speaker
No, if you get the terabyte, the fold was the 1900 one. Oh, that's right. Okay. And you can get the value S 10 E 2750. That's it. Yeah. It's not bad. Let me get two of those.
00:02:37
Speaker
You need to pay for the phones you already have. What are you talking about? That's not none of your business. I'll do whatever I need to do and you do what you got to do.
Speculation on iPhone 11 and Camera Trends
00:02:47
Speaker
Um, so there was a leak, but I think it was by nine to five Mac for what the iPhone 11 is going to have. Oh yeah. Or I mean, at least a little bit. Um, I think I saw something about that today, actually. They speculate every year that it's going to have a USB C instead of a lightning port. Yeah.
00:03:04
Speaker
Which would be nice because I mean it would just make sense to have the same port as every other phone Yeah, and you have more cables that are just more convenient to have Better USB-C already like just throw it in there. Yeah, but you know there that's too simple Well, they're like proprietary stuff because then you have to buy it again exactly in charge like $30 a cable for it. Oh, yeah, I mean, yeah Obviously if you can if you can't go get anywhere else you gotta pay it from them. Yep
00:03:32
Speaker
Um, but the leak essentially said that, um, it's going to have an eight 13 chip, which is, you know, groundbreaking news since they just increase it every year. So, um, but yeah, they said it's probably, it's going to keep the lightning port and that it's going to have, um, it's not gonna have six lenses. It's supposed to have three up from the two that it currently has.
00:03:54
Speaker
Three lenses, that's girl stuff. It's literally half the lenses. Step it up, man's phone's got six lenses now. Just gonna get a phone that's literally just a lens, it's not even the screen, it's just a lens. Which is ridiculous, because the camera wasn't even that good, so it's, I mean, you're gonna put six lenses on there? How about you just put one really good one, how's that? Nah, nah, you need six different, you have to have six different choices. If you do six 10 megapixels, that's 60 megapixels.
00:04:25
Speaker
Six cameras it's obvious just like it was back in the day when video game machines were trying to Consoles came out with more RAM because that made the difference you say video game machines. I mean sick consoles old, okay, I Remember when it was a video game machine playing with the pac-man What is a video game machine? You don't want a video game? video games kids with your Coleco vision and
00:04:54
Speaker
I mean, I knew to do that Atari when I was a little kid. Your music, television, your rock and roll. Yeah. Your rock and roll and your long hair. Darn kids.
00:05:06
Speaker
them darn kids yeah i mean the iPhone 11 will be nice i'm sure that so that third lens is supposedly a wide angle interest will be nice i mean most companies are doing that that's what i'm saying the Samsung's gonna have two wide angle lenses on the back for what this was crazy you never know when you need to take a shot that literally is like 500 feet long
00:05:30
Speaker
You can take a picture of the stadium. What are they gonna be angled different directions? I don't know. They're gonna be like duck size When they're on either side of the phone, they'll be on the edge So we looking 360 it was very weird that they were in a wine on the back at least from the first picture we saw yesterday Either it better do something really cool or that better not be true. I
00:05:53
Speaker
I'm just saying like, I wouldn't have said anything if it wasn't on a commercial yesterday and I was like six cameras. What seems pretty random. I mean, like I said, I don't want too much TV. So it's like, when I say commercial, like that sticks in my head. Cause I don't see that many easily skip them. Yeah. Yeah. So Apple buying Intel's a modem business, the cellular modem business. Yeah. They, I think they said what they're going to reach out to.
00:06:23
Speaker
camera what it was like the percentages that of what they're buying what what their actual uh their company is going to be touching so many people with this merger just how much how much uh control they're going to have oh yeah the marketplace i think intel is actually had announced previously that they were going to stop
00:06:44
Speaker
producing their, they were looking to make a 5G modem. But then as soon as Qualcomm was like, no, we're gonna make one. I think Intel was like, all right, fine, we won't make one at all. But I would assume with Apple buying it, I'm pretty sure that means that they're gonna try and wean themselves off of relying on Qualcomm and
Major Tech Industry Moves
00:07:06
Speaker
just using Intel, their modem business to start creating their own 5G stuff to put in their phones. That's good.
00:07:13
Speaker
As I think the idea It's a it's a billion dollar investment right there. Yeah, I don't I mean, I think they can afford it. Yeah, I think they're making a couple dollars Just like I feel like they've made a couple dollars the last couple years I've probably spent more than that billion so they they got I just bought Intel They just got to keep you you hooked and they're good Dylan bought Intel's emotum business
00:07:42
Speaker
That's why you have no money. Yeah, I mean it happens. I got my own modem though. Yeah, that's true. Continuing on a, looks like a T-Mobile sprint is finally happening.
00:07:54
Speaker
I mean, I mean, it's been happening for so long. It's like finally, but then it's like, uh, have either one of those companies really had the resurgence that they thought they were going to have? I feel like Sprint invested so much in trying to get their advertising campaign out. I don't know a single person moment. Yeah. I think I know.
00:08:14
Speaker
I think I know one family on it. Yeah, like the Sprint family plans and the T-Mobile family plans were big, but that's it. I mean, if you don't have like 10 people on a line, I don't know anybody on either one of them, either carrier. I mean, it feels like they've invested so much money. I mean, it'd be good for T-Mobile. Yeah. I mean, it feels like anything that you're, if you're growing that much, I mean, can't be a small merger or they wouldn't, wouldn't have been putting it off on hold. Yeah.
00:08:41
Speaker
Sprint is good for some things more to I mean probably what the idea is to be absorbed and take over some of their technologies so they don't T-Mobile doesn't have to worry about Expanding as much they can just use sprints already implemented. Oh, yes, sure I mean the infrastructure in the R&D is always good. I mean
00:09:01
Speaker
Why keep spending your own money when you can literally bring in people that are already doing stuff? Yeah. And that's, I think that was part of the driving factor between that merger was 5G. They're just trying to be one of the leading companies doing that. I'm sure. And it's like I said, it's just, it'll be interesting to see if that's the resurgence they want. Cause I mean, I remember T-Mobile back maybe what,
00:09:29
Speaker
Seven eight years ago was really on the rise because of the prices that they had Mm-hmm. And now it's kind of like it feels like a plateaued a long time ago I mean, I haven't had one since I haven't been on T-Mobile since I had a blackberry Lord Yeah T-Mobile has been on the rise but I think you're right. It's kind of plateaued a little bit the
00:09:54
Speaker
The excitement behind it has died down a lot. Yeah. Like they're the deals that they were giving are, they were really, they, they really did cause Verizon and AT&T to really make some decisions on whether or not, cause I mean, T-Mobile had that unlimited plan that nobody else had. That was a ridiculous price. Yeah. What was it like 60 bucks a month for unlimited everything. So in AT&T and Verizon barely had one if they even had one.
00:10:22
Speaker
And you did have it. It was an absorbent amount. And now they kind of forced that to come down. And now that those companies have come down, it's like, what's T-Mobile's next step of that was their thing. And then it was, I mean, like I said, with Sprint, it's going to be the family plan stuff. But it's like, you always have to keep coming up with that one thing that you're known for.
00:10:41
Speaker
Yeah, because it was never it was never for good signal. I'm gonna tell you that No, anyway on T-Mobile. It was like, you know what the best part of a T-Mobile is the signal And my father-in-law is on T-Mobile Oh God, that's all he does is complain about the signal. Oh, dude I'm telling you it would like you'd be five bar and walk three feet and be one and
00:11:04
Speaker
It didn't even leave the, the area that you're in. It's just, it was just hit or miss because they, they were using, I mean, like I said, they were keeping everything cheap by using other people's infrastructure. Well, that means that you get dropped. Yeah. So with sprint, I mean, you get that good infrastructure that sprints got held on. I mean, they've been around forever. It feels like both of those companies are kind of like the exact same company.
00:11:28
Speaker
It's like, you know, they're both like that third company you think of when you're looking for a cell phone. It's like, Oh yeah, team up one sprint. Yeah.
00:11:38
Speaker
Team over the stores. God, they have to do something with the stores. It looks like a Victoria's secret in that thing. Everything is in pink. It's like a God, what do you like? It feels like when you walk up to it and you look in there, it looks like your, your base is, is for Fortnite. I swear it's like all these vibrant colors. And you can walk up to an eye, like an eye store and you know what it is. Cause it's just like an eye store.
00:12:08
Speaker
whatever apple store what if you want to call i don't go in those stupid things store and buy a video game machine apple buy one of them video game machines you got one of the moving picture things in here um when you go about an apple store you can see an apple store from a mile away granted there's like a line up
00:12:30
Speaker
It's like when you walk into a T-Mobile store, I swear to God, the first thing I think of is like a four year old. Well, everything is pink. To your point, you can see a T-Mobile store from a mile away.
00:12:43
Speaker
Oh yeah. I mean, it stands out and you remember it. Yeah. Just like, I can't imagine going in and there's no neutrals in it. It's just like, yep, we're here. And we're loud, which is fine. Whatever. I mean, it, it's just like anything else. If you remember it, then it's worth it. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it stands out. I mean, I can't think of the last time I even saw a sprint store.
00:13:03
Speaker
Yeah, that's very true. But you can't remember the times you've seen a T-Mobile story. Yeah, exactly. I was like, I guess that's, that's good marketing, I guess. If nothing else, at least it sticks in my mind. I remember the pink walls. Yeah. May not make me go into it, but you know, I don't mind their marketing. Their marketing is like what has got them this far. I mean, they were one of the first, um, cell phone businesses that, that felt like they trended towards young people. Like they were edgy, they were,
00:13:33
Speaker
They had the better music. They had the more entertaining commercials. But like I said, um, unfortunately most of the people that they're going towards are the ones that are not buying the service plans. Yeah. Like until you're like in your twenties, I mean, you're usually on your parents stuff and your parents are going to go for whatever is the cheapest or gives them the best discount or whatever they've been using forever. So it's like, you know, it's like I commend them for at least being,
00:14:04
Speaker
cutting edge for the longest time. But now it's like, what sprint do they keep doing the same thing where they brought in the doofus from a Verizon to do. Can you hear me now? Like, do they still keep doing those jokes? Yes.
Nintendo Switch Updates and Features
00:14:17
Speaker
Because it was funny for a while, but it has really worn on me. I get it. And I understand what they're doing. Cause I'm sure it was millions and millions of dollars to bring in that.
00:14:30
Speaker
that uh that team to build those commercials but it's just i think the first 15 seconds of it it was very funny and then it's like okay we get it he used to be on the verizon thing i got it it's like it's like if mac brought back the commercials with
00:14:47
Speaker
The two guys that were arguing with each other was a long. Yes. If they brought those back for like 10 minutes, it would be entertaining because those were the funniest commercials. But then it would be like, okay, what's the new thing? Cause you've already done this. It was so funny. I just remember those. So I can't, I hate Apple stuff. I don't buy it because it's just too expensive. Watch your mouth.
00:15:10
Speaker
Whatever it's to each his own. I mean, if you like Apple, it's not a, it's not a bad thing. I just think it's too expensive. I like spending money. I know you do. Um, it's expensive. Yeah. It's like, I remember those commercials and I remember being like, screw Justin long. I don't like him. Like the ones, the windows guy gotta be such a doofus. Like the ones when he would like crash and just like stop working, that was, I was like, yep, that's a windows machine. It's like, Hey, what do you want to do? Oh, I'm down. Yep. That's a battery.
00:15:40
Speaker
I pulled that up on YouTube the other day, just like a compilation of all of them. They're so funny. They were so funny. And that's what, that's what my marketing campaigns make so much money. Cause I mean, you can make a ton of, I guarantee that made a ton of money for them. I'm sure they spent a lot, but just, just to think about how long those commercials ran and how often they ran, they were super, they were on everything for awhile.
00:16:06
Speaker
You couldn't watch TV for more than a couple hours and you'd see that commercial like three or four times. Yeah. And then they always made a different one. And that's what's so great about their company is like they, they could keep coming up with, they could use the same concept, but just different nuances of it. And it was still funny every time. They were so great. I mean, they call it a merger, but it's more of a, uh, we're joining forces as you become T-Mobile because T-Mobile is a better company right now. Thank you for calling T-Mobile. Thank you for calling T-Mobile.
00:16:36
Speaker
I mean, it should be good for both of them. It's just going to be now that they've got that backing of that, that infrastructure, do they make a difference or is it just, they keep holding what they're doing right now? Cause I mean, like I said, Verizon and AT&T are killing it. I feel like Sprint, they tried a lot the last couple of years to try to get back in there. And I think they saw the writing on the wall. It's just, there's too much between the two of the,
00:17:04
Speaker
the top guys, it's better for instead of fighting over the same groups from team over, why not just be, have the one company that's, I mean, that's your demographic is pretty much the same. Yeah.
00:17:16
Speaker
So sprint was good with their like their infrastructure. They had T-Mobile was good with, you know, new stuff. So I feel like the two of them, yeah, they should have a pretty, pretty strong. It's just a matter of who gets to say who gets the final words. Yeah. We'll have to see like any kind of merger. It's about who, who becomes the head honcho and what are they going to be going for?
00:17:40
Speaker
I want to keep an eye on them. It sounded like you didn't know about it. I only found out the other day. You obviously know we talked about the Nintendo Switch Lite that got announced. They actually also announced that they would be upgrading the current model of the Nintendo Switch.
00:18:03
Speaker
So the Nintendo Switch are now shipping with, like the current one is shipping with a new, I believe upgraded processor. Okay. And a better battery. So the battery is supposed to get like 10 hours of battery life. Yeah, the battery on the current one is, God, it just eats. Yeah. So I can think of three or four times where I've had it on and like, you know, I should check the battery. It's like 10%.
00:18:29
Speaker
I've been playing it for like an hour or two. Yeah handheld mode. It just eats up battery. Yeah, I would generally get like two hours or so. Yeah, I'd say just about that. Yeah
00:18:39
Speaker
So the Nintendo switch lights supposed to be get like seven or eight or nine something like that somewhere in the area and it's the new You know the new model of the Nintendo switch is supposed to get like 10, which is pretty crazy. That'd be good I mean, that's that's what you want in a handheld. I mean, yeah, who wants to have a handheld for an hour? Mm-hmm or two like when when we take it on the plane I want to be able to take my entire flight with at least one charge and
00:19:05
Speaker
Yeah, it's a little sad when you have to advertise to bring a battery with you. Yeah, exactly. I shouldn't have to bring a charger to play your thing for more than a flight. And here's our Nintendo Switch branded external battery because it's definitely gonna die on you.
00:19:20
Speaker
Yeah, you buy this thing too. I don't know if you saw this. Did you see the PDP switch controller that's coming out? It's got a headphone jack in it. Oh, I did see that. Yeah. I'm kind of, I don't know where you're going to be talking to people at cause you can't talk in that game. I would imagine it's like the, um, like, you know, Xbox and PS4 controllers with just the being able to, I mean, cause they already don't have a,
00:19:45
Speaker
Like you said, they don't have a voice service really at the moment. So my guess is that it would just be for audio, right? Like just listening. Yeah. I'm getting guests, but eventually that's gotta be, I hope that that would be the first signs that they may be considering a chat. They gotta be considering some kind of voice. I get it. It's a... Maybe not a 28 year. No, maybe not.
00:20:07
Speaker
But I just think like it's so hard like there's so many games out right now Like especially mine like with mine the marvel game. It's everybody's using discord. I mean they have to see that Yeah, like even if it's just gonna be in game only so it's not gonna be Like a party chat for xbox. Yeah, just be like in game I mean, I understand why they're not doing it because they're they're aiming towards kids and they don't want all that toxic crap from xbox and ps4, but you can't block it. I mean
00:20:37
Speaker
These kids are playing the other systems too. It's not like they're avoiding it. If they want to play online, you're playing online. I mean, you take that, that gamble every time you get into a party, but to not have it at all is even an option. It just seems so, it sounds like you're on the super Nintendo still. It is weird. Like you brought the online element into where people can play together, but you still don't expect them to communicate.
00:21:01
Speaker
Yeah, it's so hard to play a game where you have like legitimate strategy and you can't talk to the next person. You can't coordinate anything. You're just guessing like, Oh, okay. I need to do this right now. Okay. Whatever we're doing it. Let's go.
00:21:15
Speaker
That's what it feels like. Seriously, it's like, like they have the little bitty like chats where you can hit like yes and no, where you're telling people where you're doing. But I mean, come on, Nintendo, let's get some kind of like, at least get some kind of, Hey, we have this service. It may not be the Nintendo service, but you can go in here and it integrates with this chat so you don't have to have it. You can't just get into the game and randomly be talking to people. But if you're willing to download this app, it'll coordinate with our games and you can talk through the game.
00:21:44
Speaker
Maybe we said the option. I mean, there's got to be a way there's no way they haven't thought of that. I mean, they would sell way better. I mean, the Nintendo we sold like crap because I mean, who wants to play along and you can't talk to anybody. Apparently a bunch of people. I mean, great. I mean, Nintendo is always going to sell because they can always go have Zelda. They're always going to have Mario.
00:22:04
Speaker
But think of the people that I mean, like me, I play it all the time now, but I would play it more if I could talk. Cause I mean, the reason I don't play a lot of games on Xbox too is the same way. If I can't talk to somebody, I don't feel, yeah, I'm not entrenched in the game anymore. There's not enough people writing games to keep you just on the single player. Yeah.
00:22:23
Speaker
It's a lot. I mean there's a reason why every game comes out with a freaking online option because it's just It's almost second nature now. Well, I I think the switch or I mean even nintendo products in general have always been kind of aimed at being a party console like either on the go or a single player or I'm saying you don't necessarily I don't feel like they shouldn't know why they don't do it But I feel like they're just they're alienating like a certain demographic that they could get they definitely should
00:22:54
Speaker
Like I said, you don't have to have it for every game You don't have to have it for even the system as a whole just have an option of an app that you can use Like integrate discord into everybody that plays that system is talking on discord. Mm-hmm so like have it have a way of getting into it where you can get into a game and then that automatically pull up a discord chat in the background and just be talking because I mean
00:23:17
Speaker
enough people would use it at least in the games that are coming out. I mean that you're thinking that system is going to be around for what? Three more years. Maybe the system is just not powerful enough. Maybe. I mean, like I said, but I just, I just know that I would appreciate it. That'd be dope. I mean, it'd just be more fun. It'd be just another little wrinkle that they can bring in.
00:23:38
Speaker
Yeah, it's weird when we're like, let's play a game together. And you're like, either let's get on the computer or let's get on an Xbox and chat while we play. There's been many times where I'm like, okay, I'll get on Xbox and chat. And then I had to move that controller. So I don't get kicked out or my, or my headset go a blank. I mean, it's just like, you know, there's definitely at least some kind of thing there, but yeah, I just saw that just a second ago was like, Oh, maybe they're, maybe this is the first little thing where they could be like, Hey, look at this. We can maybe do this.
00:24:07
Speaker
Yeah, I happen to have fun with mario maker. That's been super fun The watching the people's levels are just crazy that the creativity is ridiculous and so much fun I mean, it's just like just playing random levels is fun Just bouncing around. Mm-hmm and then making troll levels like mine. Yeah, jerk. It's they're always fun man The kaizo blocks like just hidden blocks everywhere every every quit or every question mark block has a bad thing in it
00:24:34
Speaker
I've been like the speed run levels. I don't know why I'll do this are always the best. They're just, because they're quick, but they can be hard still. But then you feel like you're not spending that much time on them. I mean, like two, three minutes every run. Yeah. It's just like everything else. Just your attention is so short nowadays. We like, we enjoy quick levels that we can get in and out of joy. So he wants to play levels like eight minutes long.
00:25:01
Speaker
Yeah. Well, I don't care if a level is hard or time consuming, but don't make me feel like I wasted my time. Yeah, exactly. Where I got to spend like two hours and then I just give up because you know, it's just too hard. Yeah. Give me a, give me a reason to keep playing it. I know you said you've been playing a Marvel ultimate alliance, right? All the time. How have you been enjoying it?
Marvel Universe Excitement
00:25:22
Speaker
Oh my god, it's amazing. It's just like a comic book, geek nerd, everything. The best thing about the Marvel Ultimate Alliance games in general is the sheer amount of characters you get to see. There's a lot of characters even in this game that you just don't see a lot.
00:25:39
Speaker
Like they don't make the movies, they don't make the TV shows, but they're still popular. Yeah. Like when's the last time you saw a Doc Ock in a movie? That's true. And it's like, that's one of my, I don't really care for Spider-Man, but that's my favorite bad guy to watch. Him and Magneto, I don't know what it is about the super smart people. I just always enjoy it. So it's like, he's the first character in this game.
00:26:01
Speaker
It's like oh, hey, there you go. That's kind of cool. That's cool I mean like green goblin and stuff like this people that don't make a lot of movies like There's even people I've never even heard of and it's just like oh, okay And then I got to research it and then it's just another part of that that kind of universe that can come I think you realize just the sheer amount of comic books there are that I've never seen like Avengers, I don't know. Yeah, exactly. Most people don't if it's not x-men final or Fantastic Four and even that's limited and then Avengers is like who is this?
00:26:31
Speaker
It's like, I mean, who's this person, but this kind of game right here will, will get me into it. I'll be like, Oh, I'm going to go research this person. And then it'll be in the movie. Like, uh, it's the same with like the Marvel fighting games. I had never seen taskmaster in my life. But now I know who he is. I'm like, okay, I know who this is. And then I know who super scroll is from one of the fighting games too. And then I was like, Oh, he'll probably be in captain or captain Marvel. Of course he wasn't.
00:26:59
Speaker
They had the scrolls in it, but they didn't have super score who's like the main bad guy. But, um, it was exciting. It was like, okay, at least I know who these characters are just from these games, just from getting the experience and being like, okay, it's super, it's super hard to it's like, like I said, the hardest part of that game is not being able to talk to anybody. So you're sitting in a lobby and you had no idea why the guy isn't reading it up.
00:27:24
Speaker
And then like every every checkpoint somebody can hit full a button it goes back to the menu where they can use switch characters or upgrade or whatever Nobody has an idea why they just went back Like we're in the menus and you're just sitting there. Like what are we doing? Ready and back and you know, everybody's doing the back and forth back and forth ready just to see if they're if everybody's there. Yeah, it's like that's It's that's another thing that Nintendo. I'm just like you should have
00:27:51
Speaker
At least have a, even if you're not going to have a voice chat, have me be able to send a message like, Hey guys, I'll be right back. I'm going to the bathroom. Yeah. Because in that game, you're just like you pause it and you walk away and you hope to God they're still there when you walk back. They have no idea that you walked away.
00:28:06
Speaker
But yeah, it's super fun, man. So it's got a lot of, I mean, the DLCs are going to be huge and they're kind of like hinting it. I think they may try to do stuff that are associated with the movies. A lot of people think it's going to be like Black Widow oriented, Blade oriented now that they're getting released and stuff. Yeah. Which is kind of exciting. I would like to see, just like every Marvel movie, I complained about it too.
00:28:32
Speaker
The Netflix series are so dark, you have to let them do one of the movies like that. Like, Blade is a dark movie. It has to be like the Netflix series are. You gotta let them have free reign. Liam wants to get the Disney stuff, like the Disney streaming series so we can watch the Falcon and Winter Soldier, the low-key show, and I'm like, okay, I'd like to see those, but if they're on the Disney, I wanna see what the streaming service is gonna have.
00:29:02
Speaker
For like adults. Yeah, they're gonna have a lot of kids stuff, but are they gonna let the series is go? To areas that maybe are uncomfortable for kids. Yeah, I wonder if it's like if it's all gonna be like Disney kids Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of like adult shows to on Netflix. You can separate it I mean there isn't action, but it's like when it's got the Disney umbrella on it
00:29:25
Speaker
You know, are they going to have the, the final say of like, Hey, nothing's over. PG 13 was like, some of these shows have to be. Yeah. You can't, you can't remake any of those, like the defender shows, like the daredevils and stuff. If you start making this PG 13, then I don't make any sense.
00:29:40
Speaker
Yeah. Like the Punisher can not be a good, like a non-killer. It's not going to make any sense. So it's like, what do you do? Do they, do they neuter them all the way back to where they're just nothing and they're not interesting? Or do they let it go? That's, that's the most interesting part of phase four that I'm interested in other than, I mean, the movies will always be good, but the TV shows are very interesting on what they're going to have and what the directors are going to have to be able to do on Disney and see what they can do.
00:30:10
Speaker
what they're allowed to do. Yeah, exactly. Like I said, they may just be like, Hey, we're making money. Let's just keep doing what we're doing. But yeah, the game's awesome. By the way, let's circle back. The game is amazing. I wouldn't say when I give you a hard time about buying it all the time, if you're not a huge Marvel fan, I wouldn't buy it like right now. Just cause
00:30:31
Speaker
I mean, if you're a huge Marvel fan, it's amazing. Cause like I said, the characters themselves are just interesting, but if you're not a Marvel fan, it's just a beat them up game. How many times can you hit A and B? A lot. In an hour. I mean, you, you are going to be hitting it a lot.
00:30:49
Speaker
But it's still fun. I love it. Yeah, it's just a hack and slash it's just there's a little strategy once you get into harder levels because I mean it ramps up fast it puts you on normal and then you get into a row gets like Hey, you remember that stuff you thought you were good at? Yeah, screw you It's a lot of timing stuff. It's a lot of
00:31:08
Speaker
environmental stuff there's a lot of like little nuances that you just have to pay attention to or you'll just miss. Yeah. So it's like a lot of strategy which just makes it annoying when you're playing with four people and this dude just like trying to tank something that he can't tank. A tankable character is like and he dies every five seconds and you can't get in there to get him because you don't have a tank.
00:31:30
Speaker
Yeah, it's annoying. It's there's a lot of I've been hitting a lot of game overs in the last couple days Which is annoying, but it's still fun. I think we talked about this a little bit earlier, but I saw the the Avengers Video game trailer or not trailer but some gameplay from the demo that looks super awesome. Do the games
00:31:50
Speaker
I'm so excited about it. Like I said, Marvel is going to make so much money. I don't, I don't understand. I can't even fathom how much money this, this entire series is going to make, but yeah, just having like an actual Marvel game that you can play that's going to be for all platforms will be really exciting. Yeah. And it looks good. Like I need an Xbox game for Marvel. Like we haven't had one since Xbox 360. So yeah.
00:32:17
Speaker
Yeah, I'll be I'll be definitely a day wanting that game forever. It doesn't come out to like May next year, right? Yeah, no, that's what's the worst part. I Think it's gonna coincide. It'll be the I think they're coinciding it with when the second movie would have released so next year They're only doing two movies If you notice this year they did three they did Avengers then they did spider-man then they're doing one later on there Make sure they're only doing two movies, but the game comes out
00:32:44
Speaker
to maybe they'll probably try to time it when the second movie would have come out. Just to keep it right. I mean, they keep it very interesting. I don't know if you saw the, the leaked, uh, never before scenes from the movie since it's coming out on digital next Tuesday. No, they have like a death scene for a spoiler alert. There's another death scene in this movie that they just,
00:33:07
Speaker
So, uh, in the trenches when that, when everything happens and they're all sitting there and right before it fades to the funeral scene. And this one, it shows everybody getting on a knee to, to symbolize that they had a fallen soldier or whatever. So it's like everybody that is in the main cast and then it gets to the people that are on the fringe of not being friendly with, if you don't know Iron Man.
00:33:31
Speaker
Uh, if you didn't know that, I don't know why you wouldn't be listening, but whatever. Um, so like Dr. Strange who fought with him all the time, he gives up, uh, and gets on his knee. But then they have like a, like a 22nd thing of like Gamora who's standing there by herself. And then she walks off and then Marvel released it on Twitter and was like, Hey.
00:33:52
Speaker
There's finally reason why Gamora wasn't in the after credits with the guardians of galaxy. And so you watch the whole video and it goes off and it's like, I didn't answer anything. She just walked off. So she left, but she didn't go to the ship. So where does she go?
00:34:12
Speaker
Like, how does that help anything? But yeah, they're, they're, they're releasing little snippets of what's going to be on the digital copy. I had to, I had to go the other day and watch the new released after credit that they did, you know, so they can make more money than avatar. And obviously.
00:34:29
Speaker
Uh, it's like another, uh, Hulk freaking scene. And I watched it and I was like, this is so stupid. Like, I wish they would have gotten something really great. I was kind of hoping they would do something for Stanley. Like they did it then just the Potter man. I was like, please do something like that. And they did. I mean, they did do something, but it's just, it wasn't what I was expecting. I mean, they did like a full on cameo, like office cameos and stuff, but I was just kind of hoping it would be like an actual scene that they had, they had filmed that maybe just never made it. Yeah.
00:34:58
Speaker
But, you know, whatever. Um, so I guess on the subject, what was your thought of the phase four in general? Uh, I guess the first part of phase four. Yeah. The first part of phase four. Um, excited. I'm kind of, I'm a little bit perturbed about the, the spacing of the movies. I mean, I understand they spaced it so that the Disney on demand could get some stuff. So like they spaced out like black widow and then the Disney thing gets two and then they get another movie. Yeah.
00:35:28
Speaker
as Black Widow, Winter Soldier, and then whatever else, and then Eternals, and then it's like Loki and all that stuff. I mean, I'm excited because, I mean, it's Marvel, but... So Disney Plus is part of the phase, like the social... Yeah, so they're including the Disney streaming only releases. Yeah. As part of phase four. That's why it looks like when you look at the whole thing, it looks like it's freaking packed.
00:35:53
Speaker
And it is but most of us tv shows it'd be like if netflix's series is around there It would be phase three would have been from three pages long. Yeah with daredevil two and all that kind of crap Yeah, it's I wish uh black panther was on it. I wish dr. Strange was earlier I wish gardens the galaxy was released and not in limbo still hmm
00:36:16
Speaker
Um, no, it isn't unpopular opinion that I have when I want them to bring back. Huh? I said Dr. Strange sucks. I'm just kidding. I want them to bring back fantastic Ford. That is not a bad idea. I want them to do it, but I want James Gunn to do it.
00:36:35
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, I want it to be good. You give me the silver surfer reboot. So all the things you could have done with silver surfer, especially now that you have Thanos in the universe, you can bring silver surfer and it would make sense now about why he's there. And then like, it's just like with Marvel's money behind it, you know, it would be good. Cause the only thing that they ever did that was smart was for Jessica Alba, one of these movies.
00:37:04
Speaker
Other than that, they were stupid. Who was the guy that played the first Johnny Blaze? I gotta remember because I know that. What's his name? Captain America. Yeah, that's what I thought. I was like, that's the only other good thing they did. Yeah, he was there. They had good actors. They had terrible scripts. Yeah. Their scripts were so bad. It was like a high school production of a movie.
00:37:29
Speaker
It's just like you have so many things and they had because they had the guy from, uh, the ball headed guy that was in the police shows back in the nineties. But yeah, it's like, it was a who's who of the cast. And it was like, why are they so bad? And it's like, they're not bad. I wouldn't mind having a fantastic four. I'm pretty sure they're going to, I'm really excited about the X-Men reboots when they finally get to do those. Yeah. Once they finally get the release of all of them, like the gamut movie, I'm super excited about it. Cause that's my dude.
00:37:56
Speaker
Really? No, dude game. It's like always been my favorite gambit and colossus are always my favorite which don't make any sense because if you Watch the comic or read the comics or watch the TV show. They were the least used But they're awesome Mainly mainly because they have the best accents because they have a friend the Louisiana French guy and then the dude from Russia I mean, I didn't like that colossus wasn't he made the Deadpool movies
00:38:22
Speaker
That was kind of fun. Yeah. I was like, Hey, look at this. The guy that never makes any movie finally can make a movie. But, uh,
00:38:30
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, it's like the X-Men should be great when they finally can get in that Marvel stuff. It's just when you have that much money, you can just do so much more. Yeah. It's just, you know, it's just like with the Spider-Man stuff. I mean, if you look at Spider-Man circa 2000 and you look at the Spider-Man now, it's not just him or Tom Henderson. Is that his name? I forget. Like it's not just him, even though he's great.
00:38:55
Speaker
Oh, yeah. If you look at how serious these movies are, but how grown up it feels, even though he's younger now.
00:39:06
Speaker
In these movies, it feels like a grown up movie. Yeah. It feels like, Oh, Hey, we're not a cartoon. This isn't like, we don't have to be a comic book. We're a comic with movie, but we can be superhero and be serious too. Yeah. It's kind of fun. That's what I, that's the best example I've got is if you're not excited about Fantastic Four, think of how crappy Spider-Man was back in the day and how good it is now. Yeah.
00:39:32
Speaker
It can't I mean they can't do anything worse with fantastic for right. It can't get any worse Yeah, the first renditions. I mean they they read to reboot spider-man four times before they got it, right? It's you know Sometimes you just got to keep making movies, right? But yeah, I did really used to like fantastic for but I mean the movies obviously weren't good But I liked the characters. Yeah, like I said, it's the contents of a good movie were there. Mm-hmm Just the scripting sucked. Yeah, it wasn't if it wasn't scripting. It was just
00:40:02
Speaker
The weird way that they use characters that they could have used like, um, like I said, silver surfer could have been great. They couldn't even say Stanis' name in the movie. I don't think it's like they didn't have the rights to it. It was like splitting these characters into different worlds, like having X-Men and not being able to say it. So like you in the, I don't remember if you remember the first adventure or the Avengers, uh, with Ultron say Magneto, even though his two children were in the movie.
00:40:32
Speaker
They have Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, who are both related to Magneto and they can't even say it because he's in a different series. And now that they have that, now they could say it, but now the thing's over. It's like, so I'm hoping they say something about it in the Scarlet Witch TV show that they're doing, but we'll see. It's just, it's those weird things where they split out these comic books into like different production companies. It's like, why would you do that?
00:40:58
Speaker
I mean, I understand why they did it people paid more money money. Yeah, you know, but it's just It makes everything so confusing. It makes as a as a fan of different genres and different groups It makes it hard to enjoy. I can only watch so many Wolverine movies before I'm like, oh my god, give me somebody else How many movies has he had like hey? I'm not saying that Hugh Jackman isn't amazing. He's amazing. I
00:41:26
Speaker
But my God, I don't need to see his origin four different ways. Like I get it. I know how you got it. Well, he was the best character. You have to make money somehow. I don't understand. Like this is my hot topic. I don't think, I don't think Wolverine's in the top five of X-Men. What? Oh, he wouldn't make my top five of X-Men. Why? There's like five of them. Huh? There's only like five of them. There's so many more of X-Men. What are you talking about? The show. I don't read the comic book.
00:41:55
Speaker
Even in the show, there's so many more, there's so many more in X-Men. X-Men has like a hundred people in it now. Yeah, but not till later. I mean, Deadpool is an X-Men. Not initially. He's so funny. Yeah.
00:42:12
Speaker
Deadpool I don't I don't count like Cyclops is in it so Xavier's in it Magneto's in it. Mm-hmm. So it's three of my top five and then it's like like I said already I'm a gambit person in the closest person and it's like, I mean Wolverine He's just so lame. He's so lame to me He is claws. Whoo
00:42:39
Speaker
He gets owned by make neither that's why I love make neither cuz like it's it's like oh Everybody likes Wolverine. It's like this dude would dominate Wolverine. What are you talking about? He couldn't even move based on the technicality?
00:42:51
Speaker
what the technicality that his only strength is the exact opposite of what the other dude's strength is. Yeah, exactly. Whatever. I'm not going to fight. We're fighting over a few people that are fake. The metal bones is cooler than the guy that can control metal. I don't think that matters. Wolverine still wins in a fight. No way. He would rip him apart. What are you talking about? He would literally sever him. But he would outsmart Magneto.
00:43:19
Speaker
Oh, that's, that's okay. Um, anyways, Hey, he got by X 23 in the last movie. Anyways, I don't remember the small girl. So I think it was, was the X-Men origins.
00:43:36
Speaker
It was the one where they had the bad Deadpool with the son of one that you remember the small girl that had the fingertip ones. If he can get beat up by the same person as him, is he going to beat Magneto? Whatever. Go ahead. He's just old and needs to retire is the issue. To Ian McKellen is awesome. That's, that's what the good thing about the X-Men movies where they always have like Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen and Hugh Jackman. They had always had the best of the best. Yeah.
00:44:04
Speaker
I mean, granted the new ones are really good too, but they're just not as good. I mean, they're just not as polished. I think like Patrick. So it was such a polished actor. It's like you can stick them even in, even when he's playing the crazy guy and Logan, he's amazing. He's always been great. So football season is upon us. Yeah. I am at some 40 days till a college football. I,
00:44:26
Speaker
You've lost
College Football and Fantasy Sports Speculation
00:44:27
Speaker
me. Oh, don't worry about it. I'll have you doing top 25. So we'll be picking. No, that'll be the Friday special from the, from the football season on, since you're not a big college football fan, I'm going to bring the top five games and you're going to pick them. And we're going to see how good you do for the year. Oh God. I'm going to pick, I'm going to pick, you're just going to pick winners and I'm going to pick against the spread and we're going to see who wins. I'm going to pick the best color. That's fine. You can pick my colors by mascot. Yeah. 40 days, 40 days. So football men training camps are in.
00:44:55
Speaker
Yeah. It's time to, it's time to think that every team is good until they play that first game. The jets are the best team. The jets are dominated. The jets and the Raiders are probably the AFC, the plane, the AFC championship game right now. Obviously. I mean, what she's going to do, uh, probably nothing. I mean, the Patriots and the cheese are going down this year.
00:45:13
Speaker
Yeah. Denver sucks. They just, they, they just traded their quarterback. So that's not going to be good. You really need Kansas city to blow out Brady's knee again. That would be dope. Just saying they still won the division with a backup. Probably. No, they did. And you don't remember that. Yeah, but not, it wasn't the whole year. He was gone in the preseason. What are you talking about?
00:45:43
Speaker
He guys need blown out in the third preseason game. Yeah. Yeah. But then did he come back? No, he is. Oh. ACL is the year, dude. Oh, it was his ACL. I don't remember that. Yeah.
00:45:54
Speaker
Yeah, it was the, it was the Don Terry Poe. That's why that you can't hit a quarterback below the knees is because that's what Brady got his knee rolled up on. I don't remember that. Oh man. Yeah. And then their backup came in and, uh, one 10 games and one division. It's so bad. It was the year after he had Moss. So they threw all those touchdowns.
00:46:18
Speaker
So there's like a big thing with, uh, if you throw more than 45 touchdowns in a year, usually the next year, you have a terrible season. One of those seasons was when Brady threw those 49 touchdowns and they blew his knee out the next year. That's what he gets. We'll see if my homes does that. I can only hope so. The jets are obviously going to be the best. That's just how it works. Darnold. I still don't know who you're going to throw to baby on bell. Give him the ball, run it.
00:46:45
Speaker
or fake a handoff, go play action, let him run out and throw it to him. Nothing says like a great running back. Like I haven't played in a year, so I'm going to get 500 touches in the first year. He didn't say he was going to get 500 touches. That's what you're talking about. You're talking about throwing to him, handing the ball off and playing and playing protection. Yeah. He could. Who's your backup? Backup what? Running back.
00:47:13
Speaker
Uh, Montgomery, he will be starting by week five. Even if, even if that will one, even if that was true, that's not a bad backup. I didn't even know who it was. So he's not that good of a backup Montgomery, the Packers old running back. Yeah, I know who he is. Yeah. He couldn't make it. And he couldn't make it with Aaron Rodgers on the ball. Yeah. It's because it doesn't matter. I'm just saying he's he's in green now. It means he's good. The reason why teams let people go. It's not easily because they're great.
00:47:43
Speaker
Well, he'll be good as a backup. How about that? I mean, you've had the best backup before. You've had, uh, pal was a backup before. He was awesome. Yeah, he was good. Actually. I think they resigned him. I forgot about that. He'll probably be second string by week five. Well, because he hurt, he hurt himself last year. I think it was his neck and they didn't think he'd ever play again. Almost. They were like, you're too old. And that was a heck of an injury.
00:48:10
Speaker
And he recovered and then they brought him back and had him work out and they're like, all right, cool. You're good to go. They sign Which is good. I mean, yeah, it's just crazy man. It's a good play to have on the team I mean, like I said, I always liked him. Mm-hmm. I mean Everybody likes to be able to dominate the Raiders. I mean, we're gonna have the best offense. No, there's no way of all this come some players man, but so I think college football
00:48:34
Speaker
Uh, it might be soon. It's, it's not, it's not the same. I got two words for you. Hunter Renfro. So rookie of the year. And it's just going to dominate. Him and Jacob's in the backfield are going to be awesome. Oh, Jacob's is back there. No, not, not the Jacobs. You're thinking of the kid from Alabama. I was about to say. Yeah, he's pretty good. Nice. He came from Alabama. So we got,
00:49:05
Speaker
Well, I've received her from Clemson running back from Alabama and then you got Alabama. That's a school. That's a heck of a school right there. Alabama is number two, buddy, behind the best team. The only 15 and I was football, huh? Is Alabama number one too? No, they are not number one. I mean, they might be number one in some people's polls, but they're number, they're number two in the only poll that matters. It's your heart. No, not mine. 40 news has got them. Number two.
00:49:35
Speaker
I'm not gonna say that they're a bad team. They're a good team. They're just not as good as us. They're not as good as Florida. They're better than Florida. Florida sucks. I don't know. Georgia's good. Like I said, I'll come up with a top 15 next week. Can't beat UCF. Can't beat UCF. UCF. Jimmy Central. It's a Cinderella story.
00:49:58
Speaker
Yeah, they only lost two games last year. Got decimated. Yeah. I mean, as much as I like them, they're, they're not a bad team. It's just, there's always teams like that where, uh, it's, uh, a whole bunch of hoopla because it's hard to quantify two teams that don't play each other and who's better until they play each other. I mean, UCF is a great team, but if they got as much as they wanted to hold in Alabama that year, they did not want Alabama.
00:50:27
Speaker
I mean, they were good. I mean, they're especially Lincoln Riley as a head coach. They were amazing, but the depth is not there. So they can't afford to have any injuries on that team. Yeah. All as soon as their quarterback went down, do they look different? It's like, I mean, that kid, I mean, nobody does a leg like that. That was like.
00:50:46
Speaker
Yeah. Pretty much lost his leg. Well, I'm a, I'm a bulldog at heart. So a bulldog. What do you mean? South Carolina. First of all, the only bulldog in South Carolina is the Citadel. Isn't that Carolina is a Gamecock. It's a chicken. Yeah. But don't they have bulldogs too?
00:51:07
Speaker
No, Georgia is a bulldog. Georgia, thank you. Same thing. That's what I said. They're not the same thing. They're two different states. Yeah, but they're on the same coast. They're in the same coast. They're in the same division. They are not the same team. They're pretty much the same team. I cannot believe you just said South Carolina. That's my team. The Georgia Bulldogs.
00:51:29
Speaker
I mean they are good. South Carolina Bulldogs different. The Citadel Bulldogs? No, the South Carolina. South Carolina State Bulldogs. South Carolina State. STU. So are we doing fantasy football, man? Yes. All right, cool. I'm going to try not to lose this year. If you had a choice, who's your top draft pick? Figure you got number one pick. That's hard.
00:51:58
Speaker
It probably wouldn't be a running back this year. No, it probably got to be running back. There's no guarantee this year. They get the most points ever. I don't know. I'm just saying, I mean, that's what I'm saying. You have to take who's going to give you points. The quarter, the running backs that you would take Ezekiel Elliott sitting out, but he's going to play. He's not coming back from never playing last year. And then you've got Melvin Gordon, who's sitting out.
00:52:28
Speaker
Maybe it's early. Somebody first overall may not play. Why? What if, what if they both turn into bell light last year and they sit out the whole year and then you just, who picked bell last year? Was that you? Yes. Yeah. How would your day, how'd your year go? Fine. I picked up Connor later. So it was fine. I mean, you ended up getting somebody that was decent. Wasn't he suspended to start the year too? Who Connor? No, Bill.
00:52:53
Speaker
No, he wasn't suspended. He was just sitting out. Yeah. He's just holding out. Zeke's not going to sit. He might. You don't know. Nobody thought bell was going to sit either. Remember it was like, Oh, he might sit out. And then it was like, Oh, he'll definitely be back by the, the bi-week. And then he never came back. Yeah. Gurley's not sitting out. You don't know that he's not. You don't, we don't know what these kids do. The only leverage that they have for the new contract is to sit out.
00:53:22
Speaker
That's the only leverage they have. I still think it's too risky not to take them. If you're forcing me to take a running back, I'm taking Ezekiel probably. Okay. So ignore what I said. Who are you picking first round first pick? That's what I'm saying. It's hard. It's, it's probably a quarterback. Is it Gordon Ramsey? Gordon Ramsey. It's probably Eli.
00:53:49
Speaker
Yeah. Oh yeah. Daniel Jones. Taking Daniel Jones level. Number one. I don't know. It's probably like Aaron Rodgers, probably. I'd rather take Antonio Brown. You don't think we'll ever see her first overall. You just said you would. No, I didn't. I said, no, I said quarterback. It's the only person I'm taking number one overall. It's not going to be running back this year. I mean, running back is high. I'm picking one early.
00:54:15
Speaker
But there's enough, there's enough people to get later in the draft. Like you still take James Connor this year. Yeah. The elite quarterbacks like Mahomes, Rogers, Breeze, Matt Ryan, even probably. And Ryan's always up there. Do it. Ryan's always up there. Yeah, I know. I had him last year. He's garbage. Wow. He just doesn't, he just doesn't throw touchdowns. Julio Jones just did not catch touchdowns.
00:54:44
Speaker
I'll tell you right now, who's scary. That's going to sit, that's sitting out right now. Michael Thomas. Yeah. For the, for the saints. I would, he's a high draft pick too. And it's like, these people, like literally the only thing they got is to sit out. So it's like, you have to take them. Yeah. But you know, if they sit out all year, you have to, you have to have a contingency plan too. So, I mean, we'll see. We have to see how many people are actually going to get, we have to get more people at work to play.
00:55:08
Speaker
Yeah, i'm definitely taking running back it like if I get first pick one then I I mean, I don't know probably, you know Grilly Zeke one, you know One, I mean those are just pointing monsters. I don't see her really girly is he was hurt way too much last year He's i'm not saying that they can't get points. Yeah, they can get points
00:55:30
Speaker
But with off the field and then injuries, it's just, you saw Sam didn't have a running back at all last year and he won with Aaron Rodgers. Yeah. Andrew look is a good pick this year too. He had like the highest, he had some of his highest stats last year. Yeah. But with a rocky start though. Yeah. I mean, but still with a quarterback, a bad game is what 28 points.
00:55:56
Speaker
Either way, I'm excited. You gotta, uh, I got to get that built and get the invites out. I, I usually don't like to do the draft until like after a preseason game or two, just so you know what you're getting into. I mean, yeah, you don't want that first injury to happen in game two. And then you screwed somebody like orally out. I think last year we did the draft like the day before the season started. That was very fun. It was like the last second. Cause I think I was driving back the night we were going to have it.
00:56:21
Speaker
Yeah. And then I was like, yeah, we had to post fun. I'm on the roof. I can't do it. So trade deadline coming up. Yep. You're moving Noah, by the way. I don't know. I'll put money on it right now. I don't know, man. I'll put a Chipotle lunch on it that he's gone. I don't know, man. I think the brazier buying the brazier buying the Yankees are buying. Surprise. Only the Indians are probably buying twins. Look to maybe buying.
00:56:52
Speaker
Yeah, that's, that's what's scary is that the twins had a huge lead and now they've got like a four game lead on the freaking Indians. They're just coming back. The Indians looked dead and now they're back. It's like, I mean, they're probably buying it. The Astros are buying and it's like, I would have thought the Braves would have had nobody this year and they look like they might win the damn division now.
00:57:10
Speaker
Yeah, um, it's like strawman might move Who mark a strawman? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I heard that. Yeah, um Let's see, uh, matthew boyd might move Will smith might move and him and jaden are doing I was about to say will smith's always moving, man He's in a lot of movies. So I would expect him to move um
00:57:35
Speaker
Ken Giles might move in green. I'm just looking at like the top prospects right now. It's going to be all about pitching right now. Yeah. The top guys named pitching to the Yankees pitchers. They need starters. All the pitchers are in the potential moves. Yeah. I mean, it's just what everybody needs. I mean, you can see around the league. If, if you've got an offense right now, you're winning Boston, New York, Minnesota, Cleveland, Atlanta.
00:58:02
Speaker
And like LA, they all have offenses that can hit the Astros. Yeah. Everybody needs pitching. It's just like, everybody's getting shelled. The Yankees are giving up 19 runs in one game. It's like, they've given up 40 in the last three. I don't know if you heard the stat today.
Baseball Trades and Team Performance
00:58:20
Speaker
It's like in the last five games, I think they're starting areas 19.5.
00:58:24
Speaker
Wow That's pretty that's rough Tanaka in his last four innings against the the Red Sox has given up 18 runs Yeah, I saw that they didn't they lose like 19 to three today. Yeah, so yesterday he gave up 12 runs on 12 hits and three innings Jeez 12 hit 12 runs in three innings And then one kid from the Orioles that plays outfit. I'll fill got a one two three inning. I
00:58:52
Speaker
That's awesome. He didn't throw a pitch over 56 miles an hour, dude. That was his highest pitch 56. Have you seen it? He's lobbing pitches up like it's batting practice and they're popping every one of them up. That's hilarious. If that was like rare, it would have been in the, you know, watch that ball in a mile. It was just so funny. It's like all these pitchers can't get across the plate. This dude's still on 54 miles an hour. He's still in high school pitches. Yeah. There's high school people that they're twice as hard as that.
00:59:22
Speaker
It's always hilarious when they bring in a position player to pitch. It was so amazing. It was just like, he's just up there just, I'm just, it looked like he was throwing out first pitches. It was, I'll never forget when Jose Reyes came out and was pitching. What's even funnier is that the guy got a save. Like it was a 10 eight game.
00:59:45
Speaker
He's out there pitching. They hit him in a legitimate save opportunity. I didn't pitch 56 miles an hour in a save. Got three outs in a save. It's just crazy. It's just too funny. It's like one of us going out there and throwing. I can do it. I know I could hit 50 on a gun. I've done it.
01:00:05
Speaker
I'm also not a professional baseball pitcher. That's true. Neither is that guy. Apparently we can all do it. Let's go up there and go 50 miles down or just get it over the plate four times. That's all you need. So several Mets might be going. Obviously Thor might be leaving and then closer. I mean, you pretty much have it. You probably have everybody with the polar bear on the, on the market right now. Uh, a decent amount. So Zach Wheeler might be.
01:00:32
Speaker
on the block if he's healthy enough to be traded, but I believe he started tonight and won, actually. That's good. Yeah, Zach Wheeler got the win. They won six to three. So he did start tonight, so that's a plus. You probably started six-nothing and gave it three and eight.
01:00:53
Speaker
It's almost guaranteed. I'm gonna guess that's the box score. But so he might have some trade value there. And then they're looking at trade. You know, obviously, maybe Thor, but also Jason Vargas, who, you know, good riddance almost. He's very streaky. So good with the Mariners. This was crazy. So I just got a notification.
01:01:19
Speaker
And that's the title is Mets. Definitely dealing Thor. Told you. I told you, I knew it. I would have put money on it that he's gone. There's just, it changed. It wouldn't have been, I wouldn't have said it if it didn't change so strong last night. Yeah. Where it was. They're hedging, like everybody's like, Oh yeah. You know, we'll listen. We'll listen. But then when it was, Oh, it sounds like it's a thing. Something happened either. He's not happy. They're not happy with something else.
01:01:48
Speaker
Something tells me they're probably about to blow it up. It's that's what's so weird is that you came into the season having a pretty realistic chance of at least winning the East. That's what they said last year. I mean, look at, I mean, nobody thought the Phillies were going to be this bad, but I mean, nobody else in that division was like great, great. Yeah. The Phillies who had all the hitting that they paid for the Braves have two guys that are pretty good and everybody else is all right. And the Mets still can't keep up. Yeah.
01:02:18
Speaker
That's, I mean, you gotta do something. You can't, you can't roll these people in. Yeah. I know the pitching has to be shaken up a little bit. And this is the only time you're really going to get the best money you can get for him. I mean, he's 26. He can still throw. I just don't know why you keep the other guy. Yeah. The one good season makes him. How's that working out for you?
01:02:44
Speaker
Is he still, is he still on the payroll? Oh, no, they traded him a lot. Like, so he had that one good season. They immediately traded him. Yeah. I was going to say he was on, he was on Toronto for a while and doing nothing. I don't know if he's still on the team or not. I haven't heard anything about him in a while. Um, so they might also be looking to trade Todd Frazier.
01:03:05
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, I don't, it's a big bet for somebody that needs a, he left it. I can't remember if he's left it or not. Don't remember, but I'm not, I'm on the fence about if, you know, I want to get rid of him or not. I'm not opposed to it, but I'm not also, I'm not for it, but.
01:03:24
Speaker
They're looking to trade several people. They need relief pitchers and Diaz needs to go. They're closer. He's awful. He is a lefty bet, by the way. Gotcha. That would be, that would be big too. Somebody, everybody always needs lefty bets. Justin Smoke might also be traded, I saw. Justin Smoke. Yeah. He's from your South Carolina bulldogs. Oh, the South Carolina Bulldogs. He went to South Carolina. I knew I liked him.
01:03:53
Speaker
Ridiculous. I should do one of these on whiskey. That's true.
01:03:59
Speaker
of a shot per like 10 minutes and just see what it's like at the end of it. See who's talking at the end. Yeah, see if we have 48 minutes of just silence at the end of it where we both passed out. That's awesome. No one. So I was just looking at Buster only. He tweeted out, rival evaluators say they believe the Mets are fully intent on dealing Noah Syndergaard before trade deadline.
01:04:24
Speaker
Yeah, he's he's pretty sure he's not gonna go to the Yankees but everybody else is pretty much open an option the Mets are Exploring according to candor roads and thaw who tweeted they're exploring trading cinder guard and signing Wheeler to an extension Oh my god, it's a bold strategy. They're cutting see if it works out for them
01:04:46
Speaker
It looks like Bumgarner is going to stay, which isn't too surprising, I guess. I remember him for winning three World Series or two World Series. And then every time somebody's at home running, he looks like he wants to go punch him in the face. So because the Giants were doing so bad, Bumgarner was, you know, they were looking to maybe start selling, but they've kind of came back. Now they're only a couple of games out of
01:05:12
Speaker
playoff contingent, so they're probably gonna keep them. I'm curious what's gonna happen if the twins are like the Yankees or something gets undergrad. That's gonna make me upset.
01:05:39
Speaker
Can you hear me? Hey. Hey, I don't know what just happened. I just got dropped for like two minutes. You, but you couldn't hear me. That was crazy. How you doing? Can you hear me still?
01:05:50
Speaker
Okay. I'll just keep it on here so I can actually see if it's still talking. I try to move my computer like a half inch and it was like, nope, you're broken. I don't know if you remember when we were doing this the first time I told you that I had it plugged in and I moved the microphone and I thought I broke the cable. I'm pretty sure I did. Oh my gosh. Stop moving your computer. Oh my bad. I'm sorry. I want to be responsible for an hour. You did this last time too. You unplugged like twice.
01:06:20
Speaker
No, I didn't. Yes, you did win. I think you're a liar. No, you did last time. No, hold on. Remember, cause you had to plug in your computer yet. Oh yeah. When I had to plug it in, cause it was going to, yeah, you're, you just really need to work on prepare preparation. We'll discuss this at a later time. I expect you to come with your game face on if you're going to do this.
01:06:47
Speaker
Hey, I've been trying to do it for days now. And then you try to do it on the day. I'm freaking tired as hell. Yeah. I'm tired too. How late did you work today? Oh, super early. Oh, okay. What you've been working since you got home. Yeah. All day or a day. Okay. All day. Early day. Um,

01:07:41
Speaker
No, I didn't push any Firefox. I'm telling you right now, I came on and then when I finally got it working, it said, welcome to your new Firefox. It probably automatically installed one. I didn't push anything. I'm just telling you, that's what crashed it because I was closing it when it crashed too.
01:07:57
Speaker

Tell your mom that I did do a Costco thing, but you cut it. Totally. And I was like, I had to do a Costco thing. Tell me something about Costco can do. We'll get to Costco.

It's my wife. So she has to be there. Why? Because that's what it is. Baby girl. She can just show what to pay for it. Pay for what? The stuff I'm buying. What are you buying?
01:09:41
Speaker
I need stuff from Costco. I thought you just needed boxes. No, I wanted to go there to buy some stuff. No. You're taking advantage of us. Oh yeah. I'm taking advantage of you. Yeah, man.
01:09:53
Speaker
Okay. So we're going to talk about this later after we go to South Point and then go get the tires. Yeah. We're going to have a serious discussion about your attitude. Danny came over and made him play my Mario maker level.
01:10:12
Speaker
It was pretty hilarious. Oh, yeah. He was getting so angry. It was pretty interesting. So even he likes a game like that. Can't play for too long because he gets frustrated, which I'm the same way, but. OK. Is there anything else you want to talk about? Not right now. I mean, yeah. What? You mean yeah? I said, yeah. I said, I don't know. Yeah. No, you didn't. Yeah, I didn't. You said no, and then I mean, yeah.

A crimson Jersey. Crimson. You're going to be wearing a South Carolina bulldog jersey by then. You can buy one. I'll wear a South Carolina bulldog jersey. I will find it.
01:11:55
Speaker
I'm gonna buy you a Georgia Bulldogs jersey here, but who's this? Like that team that you say, you know, I can almost guarantee that's not a team. What Georgia Bulldogs don't even make any sense. The Bulldogs are real, dude. No, I'm pretty sure. Red and black. Todd Gurley went there. No, he didn't. He went to South Carolina. He went to Georgia. What team is that?
01:12:18
Speaker
I'm just gonna put myself on mute. You can do that. I'll try. I gotta go. I'll stay connected to just keep my computer off when you're done. You do outro so well there, dude. I heard, I hear him, but I'm not here. You hear him? Yeah, I'll check him out when I listen to the podcast. That's good. They sound good. Thanks, Benny. But I'm Alan, and I love you guys. Not Dylan. So you can splice this in in theater after.
01:12:48
Speaker
Appreciate that. You're really looking out for me. I'm sliding in there, dude. Do some, you just had to do some production. So I'll have to do is use my time to help you out so you can go to bed. Do we can call this DNA, man. Why? It writes itself Dylan. DNA. Well, it seems like it's a bit late for that. No, just like, uh, just re not rebranded, but, um, we can call our production company DNA. And we have a production company too.
01:13:15
Speaker
Yeah, because I'm gonna do YouTube videos about football man. Since when? Since you're not gonna do it on here. I gotta do top 25s and people want to know. I'll give you your own college football segment. How's that? I'm bringing in a dude when it's on. I'll be I'll be breaking down everything. I've been bringing in Utah State. I've been bringing down me. It's not a state. So let's not do that. You want you want to listen to me at games? I'll break down since I'll write down Cincinnati and Akron.
01:13:44
Speaker
What is that? I'll break it down. What is Akron?
01:13:47
Speaker
Ohio, so college. There's no way where LeBron James grew up. That's weird. I'm from the Bulldogs. They probably are. Probably. It's probably what. Akron's the zips. Are they like shoes? Are they the zippers? Have you ever heard of Kent State? No. The golden flashes.
01:14:16
Speaker
It's supposed to the regular flashes. Yes. They're golden. Actually, um, the Todd in that used to play for San Diego, California. Yeah. The chargers. Remember how I'm talking about the, he was a big guy. Uh, yes. I was there when the Dan was there.
01:14:33
Speaker
It was Gates, Antonio Gates. He played basketball at Kent State. That's the only reason I know what Kent State is. I'm trying to think of other funny ones. I'll come up with some funny ones. Have you seen the NC State beer yet? The what? NC State's got its own beer from New Belgium. No. It's called Old Tuffy. Why? Apparently, that's what the wolf's name is. Tuffy? Tuffy. Tuffy the wolf, because he's tough.
01:15:00
Speaker
I gathered that. Appreciate it. But their beer is called Old Puffy. That's an O-L, possibly Tuffy. No, I'm good. It's out for sale right now. If you go to like local gas stations, you can pick it up. That's... It's a Bond American Lager. New Belgium has some good beer. Yeah, but Old Tuffy sounds like we had some extra water, so we just made some beer. This is the run-offs of New Belgium Ale.
01:15:25
Speaker
They watered down Bud Light. Exactly. They dig up Bud Light and mixed it with a bottle of Dasani. It's old Dasani. It's not even Dasani that made the water. It's the runoff from when they fill the bottles, the extra that pops out every time they do it. Yeah. That water.
01:15:50
Speaker
It's got a little of the, um, sticker adhesive on it. That wouldn't make sense. Yeah. That's why it makes it tough. It's pretty tough, tough beer stuff to drink. It's tough to get down. Yeah. It's a rough one. I really do have to get some sleep because I feel like I'm about to pass out for it. Stay golden flashes, bro. Wrap up shout out to Akron zips. Shout out to Kent state golden flashes. Thank you for joining me, Ellen.
01:16:18
Speaker
Yeah, no worries. I'm always here. Maybe we'll have you again next week. If you are awake. Oh, shut up. I'm sorry that I'm tired today. I'm a little bit, it's been a long week to travel on Wednesday. So for real. Why? Just driving to Myrtle beach and back. Yeah, I guess that is rough. Or seven hours in the car. Yeah. Not counting the three hours down there and then still having to come back and do stuff at home.
01:16:45
Speaker
That's fair. Yeah. So who knows maybe we'll actually be able to do one a week now. We'll give it a shot. Hey, when call football comes on, dude, I can tell you because football for like four hours. I don't care. Huh? I prefer if he didn't. Oh, we're going to have a football minute.
