Grizzlies Struggle In Boston, Diego Pavia’s Best Game, And Favorite Sauces | Jessica Benson Show

Moving on to something more cool. One of the kids days at all of these various uh college arenas so far. And I imagine when the G- League comes through um and the kids days go happen at the G is that today? It’s Wednesday. I’m I might go and pray for 67 to pop up on the scoreboard. Pray for at the Grizzlies game against the Thunder on Sunday. It’s not It doesn’t hit the same because it’s got to be kids. But every kid that the camera found for the jumble was ready to go. Yeah. But it’s not the same with a a stadium full of children. Seeing some of these I’ve seen a couple of women’s games where it’s popped off, some men’s basketball also. The stadium erupts and they just need to pause the game and let the kids have their moment. It’s some good stuff. I dream of being at one of those. But I really hate going to kids days. Why? They’re just screaming. It’s so chaotic. Never stop screaming at all. at all. I wish I could have gone to a sporting event as a as a child for a field trip. Yeah. We went to a lacrosse game. Oh, I remember college professional minor professional Colorado Mammoth and nobody was paying attention and no one was there. Yeah, exactly. That’s why the kids are there. We went to We would go to Rocky’s games in Colorado elementary school. Oh yeah. Because there I got you. We’d go to Rocky’s games. Yeah. That was always kind of fun. and they would take us under. I remember when you went to the Rockies games, they showed you how a baseball was made and everyone was always real fascinated by that. We um we went to a White Socks game and to a Braves game. I’ve been to a Braves game a couple of times as a student, but it wasn’t everybody in my school. I’m in middle Tennessee. I’m in Clarksville, Tennessee. So, the gifted program, which I’m gifted, of course you are. Um they did it and they took us, but it was only like five people from my grade. It’s like I don’t want to really like kick it with y’all. Yeah. And you know, you’re gifted, so you’re supposed to be smart and I’m not very smart. And so it’s like, uh, CJ, you can’t really kick it with us. You’re not smart enough. It’s like, okay, cool. I don’t like you dweebs anyway. So I always end up sitting by myself yelling obscinities at the players. Shocking. Had a shocking contest. Had a ball. Of course you did. It was good stuff. That’s what it’s all about. Kept my shirt on though. You’d be surprised. Oh, congratulations. What’s up, everybody? It is Thursday, November 13th. That is going to be a good day. Jessica Benson with you from the Grime City Media studios in Memphis, Tennessee. CJ hurt behind the glass. Coming up on today’s show. Another Memphis Grizzlies loss.

Grind City Media presents the Jessica Benson Show with CJ Hurt live from the Grind City Media studios on YouTube at Grind City Media and the official Grind City Media app. What’s up everybody? Happy Thursday to you. The sun is shining, the sky is blue. It’s another beautiful fall day in Memphis. So, it was another less than fun night watching the Memphis Grizzlies play last night. This time a 131-95 loss to the Boston Celtics. And yes, it was that bad. It was absolutely that bad. CJ and I were deciding what to draft today and we settled on sauces and I said, “Good.” That’s because I felt like I wanted to pour hot sauce in my eyes watching the Grizzlies basketball game last night. Uh, so I don’t start with a crash out. I start with a little giggle. Uh my mom is in town and so I was watching the game with her last night and she’s just she’s the sweetest little lady. She loves the Grizzlies. She’s become a massive Grizzlies fan. My apologies to her for bringing her along for this ride. Um but at one point like she never says a mean thing about anyone and she’ll be the person who they’re down 20 and say maybe they can come back. Early on in this game she goes, “Man, if I was the Celtics, I’d have to be thinking why we’re not up 100 to two.” said Sharon. What? That was savage. From your mom. From my mom. From my sweet mother. No. She said the Celtics got to be thinking why are we not up 100 to two? You people out there don’t understand. I can’t I can’t categorize her any like she just is not the kind of person who would say such. So much so that she turned the game into a game last night and she got to the point where she was like I won’t be mad at them if they score 100 points. Why Jacob? which they also I want to be clear. Jacob hit that third up there. That is not the third that I have. Grizz lose 131. You didn’t need to We know what the score was. It’s factual. We But we we don’t need to see it. People are recovering from last night. J trying to help people. I’m trying. Y’all are sad right now. Like what was that movie? The Sandra Bulock movie where they had to open their eyes. The blind side. No, that’s the other one. What’s the one? Oh my gosh. It was that Netflix movie. Why can’t I think of it? Yeah. Is that grizzly struggling in in Grizzly Struggle in TD Garden? That’s it. I I I think that’s a better third, isn’t it? Which one is less offensive? Give me a less offensive way to describe what happened. I think we have to try to be less offensive after if you watched the game last night, you know. No, Jacob is 131 to 95 is 131 to 95. Does that not mean that they were had a had an exceptionally rough night that they got smoked like that? That but okay, y’all got it. Or they ruined the classification of the Grizzlies as a team who was beating the bad to mid teams and losing to all of the good teams, right? Like the Celtics are not some behemoth this year. Like they’re not the Thunder. They’re not the Knicks. They’re not the Rockets. They’re not the Pistons. Like all of those teams you can you can in good faith get beat by and say ah we’re just not as good as them this season. They’re just in a different tier right now. But the Celtics were five and seven going into last night and they destroyed the Grizzlies from the jump pretty much. And the Celtics and the Grizzlies have the same circumstances. What CJ? But didn’t we know going didn’t we know going in the Celtics were the better team? No, I would not say definitively. I’ll get to what they’re better at, which became crystal clear last night. Everything. Sure. Everything would be the TLDDR show’s over. Everything. The end. No further conversation about the game. But they are in similar places like especially last night. No John Mar last night for the Grizzlies. And obviously the Celtics are without Jason Tatum this season. So you have your best player injured for both teams. Both teams are playing on the second night of a backtoback. Both teams are trying to find themselves. But what the Celtics have is culture and an identity. And the Grizzlies simply don’t right now. I I can’t say it in a nicer, more euphemistic way. The Grizzlies don’t have an identity. And they came out, got beat in the first quarter by eight. They were down 21 by half, proceeded to be down 30 before we reached the midway point of the third quarter. And you can look at every statistical category and and figure out why. The Celtics made 21 threes. They played 14 guys last night. and all but three made at least one three-point shot in that game. Payton Pritchard made five of them. The Celtics shot 50%, the Grizzlies shot like 33%. They outrebounded 58 to 41. Celtics had 34 second chance points. The only plus for the Grizzlies is they had 10 turnovers instead of 22 like the night before. And of course, of course, you can make the very true point that they did not have a true point guard or a ball handler last night and having to start Vince Williams Jr. is less than ideal. You are down John Morant. You were down Ty Jerome. You were down Scottie Pippen Jr. You’re even down Javon Small. Like all of your point guards, all of your ball handlers are injured. So you start with Vince and you got to have some roll with Cam Spencer and that’s not ideal. But man, there was a time when the Grizzlies did have an identity. And there was this next man up nature to this team that could carry them through oddly challenging circumstances on any given night. And you’d wake up or you’d reach the end of the game and just say, “God, how’d they win that one?” Or, “How’d they compete in that one? It didn’t even make sense that this was close, but they still showed up.” And that’s what I found myself nostalgic for last night. It was a different time. It was a different roster. Next thing I know, I’m reading Robert Frost poems on the on the couch reading The Road Not Taken. Yeah, I know. This team has made me go back into my Greek mythology, go back into my eighth grade poetry unit. Like, times are bad. But I I found myself nostalgic for the time and the the things that have led us to the place where the Grizzlies are losing. As the graphic so aptly says, 131 to 95. A lot of things have happened in my life. Yeah. You know, you know, bad things have happened. We joke, but flunking out of pharmacy school the first time. I bet that wasn’t bad. I mean, I bet that wasn’t fun. Was was real rough. Really hard. You know, got my car stolen. No, that’s I can attest. Not a fun experience. That’s not fun. I’ve been robbed. That wasn’t fun. That wasn’t Wasn’t fun. Not man time did I say, you know what? I’m going to go read. Let me read Robert Frost. Why the hell are we reading your car stolen when you get robbed? It’s not really as much about like the reflection of choices that you made that got you to that point. Like I’m blaming the person who stole your car. I’m not victim blaming you in those situations. The window was down. It was sitting there all tends diverged in yellow wood. I don’t know. Is that a Robert Frost poem? Yeah, the road not taken. Oh, okay. I feel like that’s a pretty basic poem. Jessica, Jessica, Jessica, you act like I read in high school. I’m sorry. Come on, man. I assumed. And when you assume yes, you indeed make an ass out of you and me. Listen, times were dark. Times were dark to the point where the game is at the the point where they’re giving out the player of the game. And they gave it to Santi Alama. And that’s that is so fair. Santi was somehow a plus4. The only Grizzlies player in a positive plus minus in a 131 to 95 loss to the Boston Celtics last night at TD Garden. He had 14 points. He had six rebounds. He had four assists, two steals. He was not the reason the Grizzlies lost that game. But really the player of the game I felt at that point was anyone who was still watching the game because in a game with that kind of effort and execution, everyone who is still watching is a real one. An absolute real one because it wasn’t very fun. And I I frankly like dreaded getting up here and trying to figure out what to say about it because there’s not a whole lot to say. They were really bad. And again, you can make all the excuses in the world. We got a good piece of news yesterday. Zakiti was upgraded to Doubtful, which means he’s should be on the path to being back on the court really, really soon. Um, I will go down with the Titanic playing with the band. And the song is When Zach Edi comes back. That’s the song that they’re playing on those little instruments. I don’t know how it goes. It’s a little jingle. When Zach Edi comes back, you can make a case that everything changes, especially pace. All right. Space, not pace. Might be a little questionable. Space. Uh, listen, Jacob, don’t ask question. Let us scene. He protects the paint. The floor. The way he’s spoken of, you would think he’s a saint. Oh, when Zakiti comes back. Oh, when Zaki, it’s kind of catchy. It is catchy. Yeah, it kind of has a has a hit. If you’re going down, I have hopped on the boat. I I was sitting when we came on this cruise ship. I immediately I didn’t check in. I just went straight to the the the the life rafts. I’ve been sitting in them. Oh, you have a raft with Yes. with my life jacket on uh waiting to be dropped into the water cuz I and and I’ I’ve been swatting women and children away from me as well cuz they can’t get on this. This is just for me. I’m I’m what’s her name? The one who hauled the door from from Leo. I’m I’m Rose. Damn it. You have your I have all this. I have all of this space and the rest of us are Nobody Nobody’s going to get on. No, no, no, no, no. Y’all are going to need driftwood. Your boy is on the on the raft waiting cuz Oh yeah, you’re on the You’re like the guy who stole the place from the women and children. Absolutely I am. 10,000. Try to pretend he had a tot. This is my child. No, I’m I’m lying and I’m throwing that little twerp overboard as well. Nobody’s getting on this raft. Put your legs out. Put your hands behind. Uh maybe I do like um Vance in the chat said, “I want my back.” Edy. That’s a good one. I want my Zachary. Is it Zachary ei? What’s They say barbecue sauce. What do we say? Anything. Give me a board. Give me your screen. Set me a screen. um like even coach easel sounded dejected after the game last night. We do have the audio from him. Maybe we’ll show that later on because I I don’t know. I did want to talk about the Dunker Spot podcast which I saw a clip from it or more appropriately a stat from it was making the rounds yesterday and the Dunker Spot which is Nikkias Duncan and Steve Jones’s podcast which is really an excellent basketball podcast. But they had a great segment on the Grizzlies this week and the stat that they talked about doesn’t apply to last night’s game because John Mar didn’t play in last night’s game. Um, but they pointed out that Jaw has seen a help defender or multiple help defenders on 86.5% of his drives per second se per second spectrum and that is the top mark in the league among 41 players that have logged at least 100 drives to the paint. At one point in time last night, Jarm was being triple teamed and the Grizzlies could not get a good look at the rim. No. Like a shot went up, but every shot is not a good shot. And if you play the game of, hey, regardless of make or miss, grade that shot on a scale of one to five. The Grizzlies are taking a whole lot of twosies. There’s a whole lot of twos going up. A whole lot of that. I would I wish they could have got a better look at things than that. Why can’t they get a better look at things than that? To the point that stat uh shows 85% means like they don’t fear the NBA fears nobody on this roster. And honestly, you guys tell me who you fear. Yes. Would you rather John Mar get into the paint? Maybe shoot, maybe not. Just Jobs presence in the paint. Would you rather that happen or would you rather Jaylen Wells take a wide open three? Would you rather KCP take a wide open three? As great as he’s been playing, right? Would you rather Cedric Coward Cam Cam uh Spencer take a wide open three? Jo Landell take a wide open three. Which of those are you willing to give up more of? And easily, easily, without question, it’s anybody else with the ball in their hand on the perimeter over John in the paint cuz John in the paint is the most dangerous thing that this Grizzlies team can do offensively. And so everybody in the league knows that they’re packing the paint. on top of them packing the paint. It’s not like the the system is set up, at least from from visually watching it 12 games, 13 games in, it’s not like the system is set up for uh to try and help him get downhill and force the issue. It’s almost like they’re saying, “Hey, don’t force the the issue at all.” So, that’s the best thing you can do offensively. A and he’s not playing last night. And to your point, they’re starting dudes at point guard and playing guys at point guard who like if you got to break glass in case of emergency, they are fine options. But you’re relying on them in games plural to be playmakers for others. And that’s just something that they can’t do. And honestly, truthfully, they’ll probably never be able to do. This goes back to the or you’ve got to start accepting what some of these guys are at this point in time and what they are is what it is. And you can’t say, “Okay, well, when this happens, when that happens, another game or two, they’ll they’ll have a bit more experience. When this player comes back, that player comes back.” No, no, no, no, no, sweetie. No. You hit them with a No. This is what these dudes are. So, find a way to make it work with what they are. And if you can’t, it’ll be a lot of that. It’ll be a It’ll be a It’ll be a lot of that. Well, and there is a factor of that, and I thought Nikkias and Steve went through it, and they do such a good job from like the basketball brain side of things, but their take on the Grizzlies from the national perspective. Like, this is a team that is really focused on growing pains right now, and there’s more thinking going on than playing. and they saw the discomfort. And I think the discomfort is so visible every single night, which is why it’s not a fun experience to watch because nobody likes to watch someone be uncomfortable. It’s not a joyous occasion. But that lack of comfort and the increase in thinking is that is the identity of this team at this point in the season. And sure, like team is learning a new offense and you’re seeing them point at each other and not necessarily knowing where to cut all the time or who’s cutting and there’s a natural side of that and you have a coach figuring out how to integrate the players that he has into his coaching philosophy and what happens if the personnel doesn’t end up fitting into that system and then you have the sub patterns and the buy into those sub patterns and the lack of chemistry. It’s a snowball. But I think the biggest thing right now is lack of comfort, increase in thinking, and that is what you are getting with this Grizzlies team. And we’ll see. Can they I don’t even want Can they turn it around in Cleveland on Saturday? Likely not. The Cavs are one of those very very good teams this year. When you say turn it around, not turn What do you mean? That’s a great question. Cuz like we’re have we gotten to the point where we’re done measuring on wins and losses? Are we still doing that? Okay. So when you say But I don’t want to say that for everybody. Okay. So when you say turn it around, what does that look like? Well CJ, we’re looking ahead at the schedule and after they play the Cavs and after they play the Spurs, they do have a stretch where it goes Kings, Mavs, Nuggets, Pelicans, Clippers, Kings. That feels like a figuring it outish or figuring out opportunity for things to look smoother for less thinking for more of a natural state and also to implement the pieces that until we see them you do have a fallback of well we haven’t seen it with Zach Edi and Tai Drone and at least for the case of Zach Edi if he is that important you have to see a sample size with him to reach the point of oh well that’s not fixing things either or that is fixing things are looking better he’s opening things up for John for Jiren Jackson Jr. Jiren’s not getting in foul trouble as much because there’s someone like a Zakiti playing alongside him on the defensive end. We’ll see if that’s the case. Uh I made the grimace at that Nuggets. Real quick before we get to Terresa Walker, did you see what Nicole Joic did last night? I missed it. I was watching the Grizzlies game. I saw it after he outscored the Clippers starting lineup by himself. Just a casual night in the life of Nicole Joic who had 55 points. Clipper starters had 54. In the last 10 days, Nicole Joic has had a 55point game, a 331516 game, a 321414 game, and a 26-point game where he didn’t attempt a single free throw. Charles Barkley said it best last night. We just take this man for granted. This is the best player in the world, and we barely blink now. But he is Nicole Joic. And that was a wild performance from him last night. He was guarded by an international dude. Oh, I knew you were going to get back to this. You knew I was coming with it. I knew you were going. There’s not there’s not an allar on that on that Clippers roster. USA will hold that in check. You’d only have like 40, of course. Yeah, but we we’d have them in check. We’ll take a break. We’ll get Theresa Walker’s take on the Grizzlies from the other side of the state. We’ll get her take on the Titans coming off a by-week. Wow, that’s two sad sentences to string together. I mean, the Titans didn’t lose. That’s true. And they and to your point, they improved their draft status, didn’t they? They did improve their draft status. They could get enough back-to-back number ones. Hey, look at them. How about that? Who would have thought? We’ll talk to her about the college football playoff, too. All that with Theresa Walker on the other side. [Music] Calling all collectors. Tops NBA basketball trading cards are back. It’s available in the Grizzlies den by fanatics and online at topps.com.

Teresa, tell the people how you likened Tennessee professional sports to a scene out of Happy Gilmore right now. Well, we if you’ve seen the movie um and you’re going to understand this. It’s like walking the scene where Happy is trying to get ready for hockey and he walks into the batting cage, puts his money in, and then just turns and faces the pitching machine, taking ball after ball after ball off the body. That’s what it feels like. If you’re a fan of the Tennessee Titans, the Nashville Predators, dare I say, the Memphis Grizzlies right now being Yeah. I mean, even the MLS team, I mean, na Lionel Messi just owns Nashville SC, you know, literally they won one playoff game out of three, but uh so it’s like it’s, you know, pain and sorrow, agony on me, deep heart, depression, excessive misery. This is what it takes for Vanderbilt to be good at football, right? You have to you have to like you have to sacrifice something for somebody to be good at something. and Vanderbilt just needed all of the sports teams in teams. What are what are we doing with the Memphis Tigers football team? Yeah, but the Tennessee Volunteers are still They’re not They’re fine. Yeah, they’re fine. They’re fine. Okay. Tennessee State is Tennessee State is struggling. Playoff. You’re right. You’re right. They got one. You’re right. They had Memphis just won their chance. Tennessee Tech football is 10 and0 for the first time in program history going to Kentucky Saturday. So, this is and Tennessee Tech. That’s who did it. In order for them to find any peace and happiness and success, everybody else has to suffer. What’s the moccasins doing? What’s UTC up to? I bet you they’re struggling right now. What deal did Clark Elite make? What deal did Diego Pavia make? Is this where I turn? Is this where I turn Diego after all these years? After his best game yet? I mean, 489 yards on Saturday. He literally carried that. I mean, everybody had Auburn scoring suddenly 38 points, right? Being unstoppable. I mean, this is what’s crazy about sports. New coach, interim coach. They they they’ve done nothing offensively. That was the thing. Hugh was supposed to be the offensive genius. He’s supposed to come in and fix the Tigers. And instead, he fixes the Tigers when he leaves the Tigers. And suddenly, you know, that was, let’s just put it this way, that was a shoot them out. And I thought Vanderbilt screwed up when they went for it on fourth and one. Pavia stopped for a three- yard loss and then they just go win it in overtime. I mean, when I looked up his numbers on Sunday, most total yards offensively in the country, Diego Pavia. Now, yes, he has a 10th game. Once we get a few more tenth games, it’ll be a little bit more playing level playing field, but I’m just going to say this. I he needs to be getting an invitation to New York for the Heisman uh awards because I’ll say this, is there a player in the country more valuable to his team than Diego Pavia? I say no. Say Diego Pave and Hannes King are just two players who without them where is Vanderbilt and where is Georgia Tech. Exactly. I mean, you take Ty Simpson off of Alabama, they’ll find another quarterback, right? Uh same with Ohio State. No matter how good these players are, Marcel Reed at Texas A&M, well, as one of my former AP colleagues pointed out,&M could make the SEC championship game without having played Georgia, Oak, Old Miss, Alabama, Vanderbilt. I mean, what are we doing here? This is the problem with all these superersized conferences. There is no level playing field for measuring who’s what. And everybody is dissecting resumes, trying to figure out, no, no, no, this means more than that. And and now I saw somebody trying to Well, South Carolina’s no longer ranked. You can’t really count that for Vanderbilt. Look at their seat. Well, let’s for let’s not forget they were 11th in the country looking great when Vanderbilt went in there and exposed them and left them on, you know, left them literally on um blocks. No, we’re not doing that. You don’t get credit for beating a bad team just because we didn’t realize they were bad or how bad they were at the time. You helped the people realize that they were bad and so did everybody else who beat the hell out of South Carolina. Like what we No, Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt is having a great season. Vanderbilt is it’s it’s crazy to to stop and think about. Vanderbilt has a legit shot to get to a a CFP. Um if things shake out and break their way. Um but no, I’m not giving them too much credit for beating South Carolina. Teresa, I can’t roll with that one. My dad is in the chat though. He wants to know, you can answer the question or answer my rebuttal about South Carolina and Vanderbilt, but he really wants to know how the sounds are doing. Did the sounds get caught up in this Tennessee Tech Vanderbilt uh sacrifice or the sounds okay? Cuz the Red Birds, think about it, the Red Birds since Vanderbilt has been good, the Red Birds ain’t been right. That’s a great question. I I don’t think they made the playoffs. That another one. Another one by Tennessee Tech and Vanderbilt are causing we got to get rid of those those those schools. We entered a portal. Yeah. This is a multiverse. This is a bad place for everybody not named those schools. Teresa, you’re busy always. Titans, predators, college football. But you do keep track of the Memphis Grizzlies. And since we last spoke with you, the Grizzlies had one win last Friday against a struggling Dallas Mavericks team that ended up firing their GM and Nico Harrison just a few days later. The Grizzlies have lost three games in a row. They lost to the Thunder. They lost to the Knicks. And then they got absolutely embarrassed last night by the Boston Celtics. What is your pulse on the team from how you have viewed this last week for the Grizz? Let’s just put it this way. I know that uh the GM has been incredibly patient. He’s just on his second head coach in Thomas Iselo. That said, with my counterpart there in Memphis who helps me tremendously, Clay Bailey, let’s just put it this way. In our business, we have to be prepared for whatever happens today on the list is preparing, preparation, editing in case there is a coaching change. I’ve got to do that both for the Grizzlies and for the Predators. And Grizzlies fans, if you think it’s bad for the Grizzlies, the Memphis, the Nashville Predators, even though they’re in Sweden having a nice little European vacation, oh, the people are out for Bruno. They want Andrew Bernett gone just as much as some of you want gone. So, it it it’s it it feels like firing season’s coming in parts of Tennessee sooner than later. And let’s not forget Titans beat everybody to the punch with Brian Kelly. So, uh, I didn’t even think about that. See, I Yes, I trust me, I have because it’s like it it feels like it was so long ago and I think it was October 23rd and we had the GM last week during their by-week after the trade deadline and and he talked about how, you know, at the beginning of early December, they’ve got about the most cap space in the NFL next year. So, they are going to start putting together their free agency board early December. They are putting together the pieces so that they’re ready on the coaching search because I mean, let’s be honest, they ain’t going anywhere. And CJ, you’re completely right. They they improved their chances for the number one pick in the by-week. Why? The Jets won. They are the only one win team in the NFL, guys. They host the New Orleans Saints. I think it’s the last home game of this regular season at the end of December and that one will be the battle to pick number one and or at least that feels like that. Somebody in the work room yesterday was saying, “Well, I think they might could get three more wins.” And I’m like, we all looked at him like like I’ll have whatever you’re having, but come on. I mean, it’s like tell us how. And it’s like teams are refreshed. Calvin Ridley came back to practice yesterday. Ard McKe who’d missed a month back at practice. Jeffrey Simmons was saying he was coming on social media but not on the field yet. So they are healing up at some very cute pieces but they weren’t scoring points when Calvin Ridley was on the field. He still doesn’t have a touchdown catch. So it’s like bad bad pro sports all over this state. The state is down bad in its totality. I’m curious for you at this point coming off of this buy and like you said if somebody wants to take three more wins for the Titans this season that’s their prerogative would probably not be the popular assessment of the Titans looking at things from a win and a loss standpoint and also value in losing because you do right now have the number one pick in next year’s draft. How do you measure success the rest of this way? We were talking about it from a Grizzly standpoint and it is inherently different because the NBA season is 82 games and you have multiple games every week and so you can really get lost in the depressing sauce. Uh with the Titans, it’s a game every week, but for a team that has a young quarterback who still needs to develop, just where do you view the the paths for being pleased with this team? What delivers a good week for the Titans in your mind? Well, it starts with the basics. I mean, they themselves are talking about being better on third downs. Why do they need to be better there? Well, if you convert more third downs, you’ll get more first downs and stay on the field more. So, that’s how that’s where the bar is. This team has combined 11 touchdowns. They have been they have scored fewer touchdowns in 15 straight games. That’s almost a season than their opponent. So, it’s like they can’t outscore their opponent. So, just and and they couldn’t even outscore their defense or special teams in the game before the buy. You know, they lost 2720 to the Chargers. Guys, the defense got a pick six. Chim DK, one of the bright spots among the rookies. He had, you know, he’s leading the NFL in allpurpose yards. He is he he is seriously on target to be a 2,000yard. I expect him to be a Pro Bowl, you know, at special teamer. You know, he’s making a case that he should be an allpro at uh, you know, for returner because of what he’s doing and he finally got his first return for a Titi last week. So, you know, see these young guys continue to to develop. The GM pointed out they’ve got like 13 rookies on this team and then you’ve got all the guys who are in their first or second year. Cedric Gray is a linebacker. He’s been leading them in tackles. He he’s in his second year out of North Carolina, but he’s kind of in his first because he was essentially injured all last year. So, it is literally still that basic, you know, stay on the field, score touchdowns. And guys, I don’t even want to say it in my brain, but the Texans only won last week because of an incredible comeback against the Jaguars. Now, they’ve got the stingiest defense in the NFL. uh they are that you know that shut out of the Titans certainly helped but when they were in that game in Houston the Titans were only down six nothing in the third quarter. So it’s like if and Houston Texans offense not good. We’ll find out today if CJ Strad remains in the concussion protocol. He might not play Sunday. So maybe they get some more Davis Mills magic. But that’s the thing. It’s the NFL any given Sunday. So maybe the Titans pull a rabbit out of their hat and get a win. But, uh, Rocky, I’m not I’m gonna have to see it to believe it. So, yeah, the bar it it it it couldn’t be lower on Sunday. Get a field goal. You need a field goal. And at least you’re not shut out on Sunday like you were the last time you played Houston. That’s where we’re at with the Titans. Tennessee Titans just get a field goal on the Go ahead. Can I want to circle back to CJ? Come on now. South Carolina was number 11. Lenor Sers, everyone’s loving him. He’s he’s already in the portal to Miami. Now it’s like come on, you can’t rewrite history just because they are what they are now. At the time people thought they were going to be one of the best teams in the SEC. So no CJ, no revisionist history. But we’re not revising it. We’re taking the information. No, we’re getting more information. They’re not good. And when the when the season ends, they’re not good. So we’re not going to give you credit for beating a team that’s not good. We seeing it now. And that’s when we’re judging this team. We’re judging this team now. We’re not judging this team based off of week five or whenever they played South Carolina. We’re judging them right now. And if you’re trying to hold up that win against that type of a team, it just doesn’t hold up as a quality win. So, because Brian Kelly was fired, the LSU win doesn’t mean anything. Uh because, you know, they because they had to beat a Missouri team without Bo Priva, that doesn’t count. No, Missouri is still good, right? Uh, don’t we think Missouri is still good? Now, Missouri lose every game the rest of the way, they won’t be still good. And then, no, that one won’t count. See, that’s the problem. You play games at the point in time where you have them, and that’s where the history is created. Lenor Cers was knocked out of that game by Vanderbilt. I’ll I’ll do you one better. If he stays in the game, maybe Vanderbilt doesn’t win that game. That’s how far we could go down that rabbit hole. You have to take the games as they were when they were played. That’s my point. Yeah, but we Yeah, but we have to judge them. We have to judge them based off of what we know right now. When the game was played with the information that we knew, we thought they thought South Carolina was good. They thought South Carolina was worthy of being number 11. We’ve gotten more information since then that tells us very clearly, very flatly, South Carolina is not a good football team and therefore we should not judge them as such. CJ Vanderbilt beating them and literally knocking Lenora Cos out of the game with an injury might have had something to do with that. No, no, no, no, no. They were bad before that. I saw the Virginia Tech game if we want to be honest. Like I saw them play that and I was like, “Oh, South Carolina is not very good. I can’t wait for somebody to knock the hell out of them.” I’m interrupting this very constructive argument about South Carolina who no longer remains relevant in this college football season. Nor does Lenora Sers. And I did want to ask Teresa one question before we let her go about the College Football Playoff and just how many and it’s it’s related because Greg Seni came out this week and said he thinks eight SEC teams could make it into the College Football Playoff which is some gradea posturing from Commissioner Seni who is always trying to get as much out of his league as possible in the college football playoff. But what do you think is the realistic number of SEC teams we’re looking at here Teresa? Not South Carolina, of course. Well, I I I hate to agree with Greg Seni, but you know, you look at the top 15, you know, whether you’re looking at the coaches poll, the AP poll, you look at even the CFP rankings, uh, you know, maybe I’m biased by the fact the SEC is, you know, yes, it is so huge, but I I I think that Vanderbilt can, yes, Vanderbilt could go into almost any of these other teams ahead of him and play. I mean, we s If they had not wasted the first quarter at Texas, guess what? Part of this question is moot because Texas would be out of this conversation, they’d have a third loss and Vanderbilt would be up at number 10 or higher because they were ninth when you know when they went to Texas. So, you know, that’s the thing you can, you know, it’s that meat grinder. How many times we talk each March about how the top programs, the top leagues are just chewing each other up and it’s like, oh, we got it. It’s what we get before the NCA tournament, the lobbying. This is how the strength of schedule, but when I see the analysis this week of strength of schedule, and I know what Vanderbilt has done, you know, they’ve got three AP top 25 wins this season, and yet they’re being dis, you know, chewed apart like tissue paper like CJ trying to dismiss, you know, asterisks around all these wins. And it’s like that’s where that’s I have more of a problem with that trying to tear apart resumes for teams than I do for a conference commissioner trying to do what his job is and get more of his teams into anything that they’re competing for. Well, that’s where even with the argument around I thought we got a little lost in the Notre Dame conversation this week as well. I don’t know where you fall on that line, but I had to watch my team get absolutely destroyed by Jeremiah Love, so I could be a little biased. And it’s not like USC’s run defense is anything to write home about every year, but I’ve seen an Notre Dame team that’s just gotten better. And when you look at that game against Miami week one, it was a tie game until the last minute and they lost by one to Texas A&M who you have Lane Kein out here trying to make a case for being the number one team in the country. And so people trying to discredit the resume that Notre Dame has simply because of the teams. Listen, we can argue all day that Notre Dame should just suck it up and join a conference and then we’re not dealing with this. And I think they’d be in an easier position to play their way into a spot in the college football playoff, frankly. Um, but I’m with you. We are in that time of the year where you are trying to minimize one resume to boost the resume of another. And that goes across the board. The only place I’ll look is the ACC where I don’t need anyone’s resume maximized. But I just know that they’re in complete chaos and I don’t necessarily think they deserve to get two teams in the College Football Playoff this year. And and that the ACC is probably the best example of why automatic qualifiers don’t work for anybody. Yeah. But it’s tough because if you get rid of the AQ’s, then you’re naturally moving into that space where for the group of five or the non-power conference teams, you’re not going to have an opportunity to get in. And and just for the for the record, nonp power teams, you mean everybody not in the Big 10 or in the SEC? Because if you if you if you look into the rankings, that’s all that’s in the top 12 in in Notre Dame for whatever reason. I’m not I’m not sure about. But like that’s all who’s there. Expand the playoff. That’s that’s the best solution at this point. If it work, you know, get rid of the Bulls. Some people that I know that run bowls are going to be very salads. I yeah, it’s like we have some great bowls. If you want to repackage them as part of the expanded playoffs, go right ahead. Uh you’ve got that infrastructure in place, but let’s be honest, uh FCS level has been doing it forever. Why can’t we do it at the top level where they’ve got the most money, the most support, and the most capability of doing this? It’s just money in the bowl world. Wouldn’t you rather turn tune in on December 9th for an actual playoff game? Yes. Then the key cheesits love bowl. Hey, I love the Scooters coffee bowl. Oh, wait, wait, wait. What are we going to do with New Mexico State takes on East uh Eastern Michigan? Exactly. Got to have that. We can do both. We can do both. Theresa the Pop-Tart bowl being a playoff game. No, that is way too important of a bowl game with way too much history. Don’t discredit the importance of the Pop-Tart. Yeah, I’m I’m saying that bowl game is way too important to be caught up in whatever shenanigans the playoff is. Thank you. Sorry, I thought you were making the opposite argument. Clarifying. Pop top bowl is way better than the playoffs just because of how chaotic it is. Is the championship. Well, if you want to see the Birmingham bowl disc, go check out the SEC shorts uh Shark Tank style take from Monday. It is perfection. Teresa, you are perfection always. Hang in there. We’ll catch up with you next week. Consensual go get in the batting cage. Don’t take too many shots. We’ll see you next week. That is depressing. All the professional sports teams in Tennessee just a big right now. Team Tennessee. Team struggle. Struggling a little bit. We’re all in this together. It’s all I can do. Are you okay? No. You You’ve broken out in song three times today. That’s what this team has done to me. I told you I’m breaking out. Like literally breaking out. I’m breaking out in song. Reading Robert Frost poems. Reading reading Robert Frost. I’m reading depressing literature on top of that. Like watching depressing movies. What? Yeah. We got to do a sauce draft.

It’s not roulette, but we have at minimum 10 sauces on our kitchen table. Clearly, it’s not roulette cuz one of these days you wouldn’t you wouldn’t be here. That’s when it gets Let’s not go that dark. God, it’s just a basketball team. CJ, keep your priorities in straight. We’re drafting sauces on the other side. As Wub said, Jame has broken the song. Why can’t I? We’ll show him later just for CJ because I know he loves it so much. All right, we’ll be right back.

Hey, it’s it’s uh historically accurate. Although I’m a little gray. What do you mean historically accurate? Like that the black one is winning? No, I meant that yours looks like you and mine kind of looks like mine. Just from a color standpoint. Yeah. All right. One of one. Um I don’t have to be specific, do I? No. But if I if I have to be specific, I can be specific. You sure? I know where you’re going. I don’t want to take Franks from you. I know you don’t. And that’s really sweet. I want to take But I got to have them. You know I have my Franks in my backpack. I got to No, you don’t. I Chris made me take it out cuz I’m flying today and I had to unpack my backpack.

I’ll put hot sauce on cheesecake. Oh. Oh my god. I think it’s delightful. I put Franks on everything. I’m jealous that you have hot sauce, but it helps me because then I don’t have to, you know, go go all in on how hot sauce changes my life every single day. Makes my life a little bit better. Um, I’ll keep it super Memphis and I’ll go with Honey Gold. I didn’t know Honey Gold existed until 2016 when I moved to Memphis, Tennessee.

Buffalo sauce. Honey Gold. The heavens part, the sun comes through. Just feel a little bit better when you have some honey gold.

Rays is like the storebought, but I My parents lived in St. Louis for like a hot second. They were big Gates Barbecue fans. Maybe not. Maybe I’m wrong. Whatever. Oh, Kansas City, not St. Louis. I’m sorry. Everyone’s talking about St. Louis in the chat today. It really threw off my brain. Yeah, it’s fine. I’m just making up family history. No problem. Kansas City. I drove through. I I finally ate at Gates Barbecue when we were driving to Memphis. From from Vegas? No, from Washington. Okay. Oh, no. Sorry. Further back than our I don’t gives me PTSD to think about. Anyway, um okay, great pick. Barbecq sauce is great. Give me Chick-fil-A sauce. What is that? It’s a great question. It’s Chick-fil-A sauce. It’s some combination of mayonnaise. Mustard. Okay. Tang. Okay. Sweet. All right. Honey. Okay. It’s like a better honey mustard. All right. What is in Chick-fil-A? Don’t be giving out the government secrets now. It’s mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, and honey mustard. Okay. Brilliant. All right. Whoever decided to make that combination, I love mixing sauces. That’s an A1 mixed sauce. They sell it in stores now. It’s dangerous. Okay. All right. There will be none of those, though. I don’t like mayonnaise, mayo on my list. I don’t like mayo or mayo. I don’t like mustard. I don’t like ranch. Um, blue cheese. I’m I’m not a big fan of. So, I’m going to leave all of those to you if you want them. Sure. I will take sweet and sour sauce. Give me sweet and sour sauce. Like it is it is sweet. It it brings out the savoriness of the meat. My favorite sweet and sour sauce is the McDonald’s sweet and sour sauce for my chicken nuggets and my French fries. And I don’t mind using my fry with the ketchup on it to dispense a little ketchup in the sweet and sour sauce. And get some ketchup in there as as well. Sweet and sour sauce. Wonderful. And then I’m going to take ketchup. Okay. Give me ketchup. Spicy ketchup. Regular ketchup. Whatever ketchup. I love ketchup on French fries. It’s not something that I eat. Like the other two sauces I’ve taken, I would eat by itself. I’m not taking a spoonful of ketchup. That’s disgusting. But ketchup just makes potato products sing. Is that the only thing you pick ketchup on? Yes. I am not a ketchup on eggs person. Okay. I am not Didn’t someone we used to know put ketchup on her salads? I I think if we’re thinking it’s Megan, I think Megan was lying to us in calling the the French fries salad. Okay, that’s what I That’s what I think. That makes me nervous. She may have um just for for your for your enjoyment. Yeah. Ketchup on a frozen pizza. Not not necessarily on one of the chain spots or an actual pizza. Hot sauce. Throw some ketchup on there. Throw some Thank you. Thank me later. Okay. Or just just try it. Ketchup chicken nuggets. Dip it. Okay. Sorry, I forgot. I also will use that on chicken. Yeah.

What? The Sriracha fit in hot sauce. No, that’s a completely different thing. Give me Sriracha. Okay. Give me Sriracha. That’s That’s the sweet heat. So sweet. There’s different kinds of Sriracha and I’ve had to look. What’s your favorite kind? Whatever the original The one that just says Sriracha. That the bottle with the little nipple on the top. The green. The green. Oh, do they all? Yeah. Okay. I’ve only ever bought the the the one best sauces come out of a bottle with a little nipple on top. You said it. Yes. That’s how the Chick-fil-A No, I guess the Chick-fil-A one isn’t either. But anyway, I love Sriracha, but some Srirachas are too sweet. I don’t want too sweet. I want my Sriracha to air on the side of spicy over sweet, but has the nice creaminess to it. Okay, that gives it a little more texture than just your traditional hot sauce that’s very just pepperbased and more like liquidy. And a Sriracha is thicker. Add something to it. I love Sriracha. That’s a good one. That’s a good one. Uh I think I might need a judge as well. What are we doing with chocolate sauce? [ __ ] Give it to me. Boom. I drink her. I got her. Give me that chocolate. Chocolate sauce. Fine. Give me cheese sauce. Cheese sauce. Queso. Yep. That’s a sauce. Queso is a sauce. I don’t think I think that’s a dip. Absolutely. I think that’s a dip. That is a dip.

Jameus Winston starting for the New York Giants this weekend. You’re not happy about that? I I couldn’t I couldn’t you couldn’t pay me to care any less any less any I I could not be paid to care any less about what the hell Jameus Winston is doing playing against the Packers. I still don’t care. Okay. He’s playing for a team that just fired his coach. They’re going to pick this dude off seven times. Maybe he’s going to throw for 1,000 yards and have 25 interceptions in the game. Like fine, whatever. But he has a good attitude. No, he doesn’t. Take a listen to what Jamus Winston had to say about this opportunity come come Sunday with the Giants. I want fans to know that I’m going to do my best. You know, obviously I’m going to have fun, but I’m going to execute uh have a a surgical execution. Uh and and just and just play ball, man. Like this is something I’ve been doing since I’ve been four years old and I just get to do it in the greatest city in the world. I’m going be saying it with my son. It’s the greatest city in the world. Yeah. That’s that’s a Hamilton reference if y’all don’t know. Yeah. 10 year reunion. It’s the greatest city in the world. Look at Jamus. A Hamilton fan. CJ got me excited to go to New York. See some theater. I’m going to watch him. No. Okay. Nope. I will not be going to the Giants game. I don’t recall that song either. Yes, you do. Look around. Okay, there we go. There it is. I got it. I got it. Cuz you can you can even when you’re not trying, you can actually sing. When he’s trying, he’s not an actual quarterback. So, wow. Hey, speaking of Jameus Winston, I watched a really great movie about sexual assault that I thought was fantastic. My third five-star movie of the year. Yeah, I’m doing theater Thursday. I was just transitioning over. You were really excited about that. That was a good one. That was a good one. Talking. All right. What was the movie? It’s called Sorry Baby. It is on HBO Max. You can watch it for free. I love watching things for free. Oh, you got to pay for the Max. Sorry if you have a subscription to the Max. And I have poor people HBO Max. So, I was kindly interrupted with about six commercial breaks for Sorry Baby as I watched this very emotional movie. Um, I will preface not going to be for everybody. It is not some big blockbuster. My other two five stars of the year, Sinners and One Battle After Another, very different vibe than this movie. It is a very quiet, dark comedy, emphasis on dark comedy. Um, it’s a story of a young woman going through a sexual assault in her life before and after and the grieving process and the moving through process. And it was written, directed by, and stars Ava Victor. And it is just an insane debut. It’s her directorial debut. And the way that she controls the tone of this movie is crazy. like one second you’re laughing and then you’re like, I probably shouldn’t be laughing at this movie and then you’re really stuck in thoughts and it’s really sad and it’s really uncomfortable and then you’re laughing again and it’s just done in a really good way of using humor to cope and using humor as a mechanism to get through life. Um, the way that they depicted the assault itself was actually done really really effectively without showing it at all. Like sometimes that’s something that can trigger people watching a movie like that. And I thought by not showing it, it was really impactful and something that has just kind of stuck with me. It’s also done in a very isolating way, which I thought was interesting. I think for somebody out there, like multiple people out there, this will probably be like one of the most important movies they ever watch, right? Like somebody going through that, I think this is something that could really help somebody or if you know someone who’s gone through it, having a better understanding of what that is like. Um, there’s also this one scene in it that I just thought was a really good reminder. It’s going to sound super hokey. And on a day where we’ve talked a lot about like depressing basketball and being annoyed, you never know like when you can be the perfect amount of kindness or happiness to someone you know, someone who’s a complete stranger. Like just being that impactful person who happened to show up at the right place at the right time and do something as simple as like offer a sandwich and maybe you save someone’s life or maybe you save someone’s day. And it was just done in a really a really cool way and it’s a really good movie and it’s a super artsy movie. So if those aren’t the movies for you, that’s all right. That’s okay. But I had heard it was one of the best movies of the year. Got a lot of like mentions throughout the film um festival circuit. It’s an A24 movie and for me it lived up to all of those expectations. So sorry baby. And there is a very cute cat in it and there’s a cute baby in it. It was a really good movie. I love watching good movies. Even the ones for free that you pay for. Even the ones with commercial. I mean, it feels gross to watch commercials during a movie. Yeah. I was like, maybe I could upgrade. Uh, I don’t know what’s going on with mine, but apparently it’s telling me, hey, looks like multiple people in multiple households are watching it. It’s like, wait, who else is watching it? Oh, our worst is that we’ll like leave ourselves signed in when we’re dogsitting at these places. Yeah, maybe that’s what it is. And then they start creating their own profiles. It’s it’s the strangest thing. I’m like, you know, we can see you and we know who you are cuz we only know one person with this name. They’re using their actual name. Using their actual name. They’ve just created on multiple platforms. And look, it’s on us. That’s an problem. Use a password. Well, yeah, we need to log out of everything. But I my my parents are signed in to various things I use and then I have to walk them through reutting in a password. And honestly, that’s not worth the hassle. Just keep using my account, random stranger, his dog I watch. That’s fine. That’s fine by me. Have you watched anything good as of late? I have not. I was trying to get to uh the theater on Tuesday to see the new Predator movie. Oh. Um but wasn’t able to to make it work. Things popped up. Um but I’m I’m excited to see that. I I’m I’m excited about a couple movies coming out here real soon. I’m excit excited about Zootopia 2. That should be out in about two weeks. I’m excited about the the Toy Story five. Yeah. Um that trailer came out earlier this week. We talked about it a little bit on the on the show. I’m really excited about that, but that’s not till next summer if I remember correctly. Farway. Um Wicked for Good is the next big thing uh that the wife and I will both go see to together. Super excited about that. So, but outside of that, I hadn’t stumbled across any uh particularly funny standups or any any movies. This time of the year, it’s hard for me to sit down and watch watch movies. I I started I’m about a quarter of the way through the Naked Gun movie, the one with Liam Niss. Um and I just have not had time to go back and try and and finish it. So, that’s that’s the extent of my movie stuff this I really want to see Die My Love, which is the Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Patson movie about postpartum. Another depresso one coming up. Are you okay? Maybe not. I don’t know. You’re reading depressing poems. You’re watching depressing basketball. You’re watching depressing movies. I also want to see Beonia, which I heard was very good. Maybe it’s about conspiracy obsessed men kidnapping the CEO of a tech company. Maybe too close to reality. I don’t know. Oh, good. As far as Emma Stone, okay, that’s the director of The Favorite and I really like those movies. They’re weird as hell. Yeah. So, she’s an alien or something like that. No, she’s not. They think she’s an alien and then they shave her head. We think We don’t know. The bald Emma Stone movie. We don’t think if she We don’t know if she is or isn’t. I heard the the Sydney Sweeney Christy movie is not as bad. It’s the one where she plays Christy Martin, the female boxer. Okay. The boxer. Yeah. Okay. But like I’ll wait for it to come out at home. I will also be going to Wicked next week. Next week. Next week. What happens when it’s done? I keep saying like I got to keep living. I have Wicked 2 to look forward to. There’ll be another one of those movies there are. And I did get excited between the Toy Story 5 which I know some people think that Toy Story should have stopped after Toy Story 3. I think who thinks that Quinton Tarotino has like notoriously said that well he just said that Toy Story 1 2 3 is a perfect trilogy. And so from a just being happy with what you had and something that could have been perfect, not necessarily saying Toy Story 4 is bad, but just that the first three work so perfectly as a movie trilogy that like why add to it? Why add to something that’s already great and risk the fall off that comes from doing too much of something? But I think the idea of bringing in an iPad kid is fantastic. You do it because there’s still stuff to say, right? You stop talking when you run out of things to say. And those characters still have things to say and still have things to teach. The existential crisis and the existential dread not that not only that Sporky was dealing with I am trash. But that Woody was dealing with. Yes. In Toy Story 4 is pertinent was pertinent then pertinent before then. That’s the the crux of the human experience. Like Toy Story 4 is a phenomenal movie. So, if you want to keep it at three, then for for no real reason other than we make trilogy sound like this really really cool thing, then fine, knock yourself out. But as long as Buzz and as long as Bo Peep and as long as Woody and Jesse and and all of them, Slinky, as long as all Rex, as long as Mr. Potato Head and Mrs. Potato Head have things to say and things to teach me, I’m cool with I’m I’m here for it. Give it to me. They could do 50 million toy stories. The issue with telling stories be a bad No, it wouldn’t. And not if it’s as good as Toy Story 4. The issue with doing um reboots, the issue with doing uh movies using the same characters is that eventually you think, “Okay, I’m going to get tired of this and the movie’s not going to resonate and the movie’s not going to be good.” But Toy Story is still good. So, yeah, keep doing it. I I want good stuff. I don’t care if it’s a remake, a reboot, the second time, the third time, the fourth time. Give me good stuff and I’ll sit down and watch it. And they have a great product with Toy Story. So, suck at Quinton Tarantino. Somebody asked why you look like you’re about to head out to a run DMC show today. That person be ill. I don’t know who that is. Who said that? Messiah. Whatever. Be ill. Okay. I just want to get your take on it. I do agree on DMC or Toy Story both. Oh yeah. I love just the idea of having kind of some collective cultural touch point movies coming up. I think Toy Story Story still sits in that place with a lot of people. Like the Michael Jackson trailer last week was a reminder. I think a lot of people will see that movie, right? And then you can talk about it with a lot of people. I was talking with my mentees yesterday from a standpoint of like what are you listening to? what are you watching? What are you doing? And they were like, we really don’t watch movies anymore cuz we just are on TikTok or we’re on YouTube. They’re like, we watch way more TV shows. We watch a lot of old cartoons, but we don’t really have the attention span to sit down and watch a movie. It’s like, oh, that’s depressing. But for people our age, like we will ride with the Toy Story franchise until the wheels fall off, cuz that’s what millennials do for the most part, like if you were into it. The same thing goes for we got the first trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2 and I know my fellow Devil War Prada loving girlies out there. will watch it no matter what because it’s still going to star Anne Hathaway and Meryill Streep and Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt like they’re all coming back and you see the 20-year difference of Meyer Street and Anne Hathaway and Miranda Priestley and whatever Anne Hathaway’s character’s name is that’s escaping me at the moment but you’re like yes this makes me feel something. I can’t wait to go see this movie. It might be terrible. I don’t know. I don’t really care. It’s not about that. Those two don’t do terrible movies though, you know? It’s a good question. Like I bet those two I bet that movie is going to be incredible. Incredible might be a stretch. No, it’s going to be incredible. It’s going to be incredible. You going to come in here and be like, “Oh my gosh, let me tell you about Devil Wear’s Prodigy.” Mel Street did The Prom. Mel Streep has all her accolades now. Like, she can do whatever the hell she wants. Was the prom bad? I loved The Prom. Okay, but most people didn’t love The Prom. Nicole Kidman’s in the same territory. She also did The Prom. She can just do these like f it movies. Like my reputation set. I’m known as a great actress. Let me do something kind of bad. I think The Devil Worst Prada 2 might not be great. Okay. I think the first one was excellent. I think you’re underelling Annie Hathaways and uh Meryill Street. Anne Hathaway has definitely made bad movies. No, Anne Hathaway has I’ve seen Anne Hathaway. Nothing Anne Hathaway has done is is bad. In fact, oh yeah, I just watched The Dio of You was her last movie. That one where she’s the older woman with the young hot pop star. That was based off the book. Forgot about that movie. I know you love her. Gosh. Yes. Have you had your time? Yes. You got it. Yeah. I bet Devil Wear’s product too was going to be all right. Are you excited at all for the Super Mario Galaxy movie? No. I’m not I didn’t think I was, but then there was this uh picture of Roselina. It’s voiced by Brie Larson. Okay. And she’s got a great bang. Like never has a cartoon character as like bang. And by bang, I mean like hair bang. Made me more intrigued to go watch a movie potentially. But that one did. I was like, “Oh, I mean, I didn’t know we were I thought we were getting Luigi’s Mansion as the next uh Super Mario movie.” So, Oh, yeah. When is that coming out? But no, I don’t think it’s even in the in the works, is it? It’s not. Yeah, I don’t think so. They announced that they were going to do a second one and everybody just assumed, myself included, that it was Luigi’s Mansion was going to be the the second one cuz it just for sort of for me it made sense. You gave Mario his, give Luigi his, and then you can bring all the the other characters in bit by bit. But if they’re going with Galaxy and they’re bringing Roselina in, I’m I’m in for it. I I’ll definitely see it, but I’m not super excited about it. I’m also honestly not super excited for the Michael Jackson movie either. Oh, I’m not. Yeah, I’m I’m I’m cool. Everyone’s like so amped about that trailer, but from what I understand, it’s the same script as the musical. And MJ the Musical is very fun. like if you ever have the chance to see it. And that’s that’s great time. That’s part of the reason why I’ve seen it on stage. It’s like, yo, that that onstage performance was incredible. I don’t want to tank these odds with anything else. Yes. And the the Michael Jackson biopic starring is it his nephew? Yes. Is that who’s in Okay. And he looks like him and he sounds like him and that’s great. And when you see MJ the musical, they’ve done such a good job of casting that character that you’re able to somewhat suspend belief. I think obviously the nephew being in the movie is even more so because the genes are strong there. But a biopic to me tackles the hardest subject matter or a good biopic I should say or the collective subject matter of a person. I’ll put it that way. And the musical doesn’t do that like at all. I mean at all at all. None of the biopics do that. I I guess Ray Ray did it. Ray did it. The Johnny Cash one did it. Walk the line did it which was a good bio. Both of those were both good. Ali did it. The Elton John one at least dealt with his addiction issues in a pretty heads way. Okay. Which wasn’t like spectacular, but um that’s why that one with the guy uh the Robbie Williams one with the monkey actually did a great job. I was like, “Wow, you had a you were a mess of a human being and you were very straightforward about that.” Even if you made yourself a monkey in this movie, but it was good. It was done in a well in a good way. I don’t need just like a puff piece on Michael Jackson. Like I’m I’ll just go listen to Michael Jackson and go watch the musical. Yeah, I don’t need to see another one. Uh you sent one last thing before we get into the rest of our Thursday. Adele’s making her acting debut. That she is. That surprised me. It surprised me, too. I didn’t know she had any acting dreams. Hey, listen. Adele is versatile. She’s going to be in the new Tom Ford movie called Cry to Heaven, which is based on a novel set in 18th century Italy. And it will star Adele, Nicholas Hol, Aaron Taylor Johnson. What’s happening? Did you hear people? Do you hear? Yeah, people are like cheering outside. Yeah, they must not have been aware of the Boston game. Go ahead. No, they’re just living their life. No, not outside. Outside, Jacob. Like out on our door. Out of our door, Jacob. I’ve never heard such jubilation. Usually, it’s pretty quiet in these places. Anyway, it’s going to be in a movie. Yeah. Cool. Okay. It’s a a Venetian noble and a cast what the hell what a castrated singer. Is she the castrated singer? I don’t I don’t know. Imagine if you moved trying to succeed in the world of opera. You hit your high notes. Oh, bet opera singers do have to be castrated so they can hit those notes. I guarantee you. Do you think they used to do that? You could tell me that and I’d be like, “Oh, yeah, that makes sense.” I Yes. Yes. We We used to do awful things. We still do awful things. Yes. Yes. I think they used to do that. I’m pretty sure they used to do that with sumo wrestling. There was a name for it. What? Yeah, there was a name for it. It was a castrad. It’s a male singer who underwent castration before puberty in order to retain a singing voice equivalent to that of a sprint. I’m in for this movie. Castrado. I’m fascinated by this. Castrado. What do you sing in the choir? I sing cast. I sing castrado. Or wait, I’m sorry. It prevents the larynx from being I sing castrad. I sing castrado. That’s crazy. When did this practice stop? Ain’t nothing in this world. Both of them. I got to get rid of both of them. No, ain’t nothing in this world, dog. And apparently they did it at the Vatican sometimes. Well, Jessica, come on. That’s not The Catholic Church’s involvement in the cast phenomenon has long been controversial, and there have been recently calls for it to issue an official apology for its role. As early as 1748, Pope Benedict, the whatever Roman numeral, tried to ban Castradi from churches. Roman numeral. I can’t do it off the top of my head. What’s what’s what is it? XI5. So XIV is 14. 14. Thank you. I know. 10 5US one 14. Uh but such was their popularity at the time that he realized that doing so might result in a drastic decline in church attendance. I can’t believe that that was a real thing. Yeah. And Adele’s going to be in a movie about it. Yeah. All right. Well, hey everybody. It could always be worse. Singing cast. could have been a castrado. I will be gone tomorrow. Lang Whitaker is going to be sitting in on Friday. He and CJ will do. Get you ready for the uh Grizzlies weekend in Cleveland. And I will be back on Monday. Fingers crossed. Knock on wood. Wish me some happy flying. I hope you got contingency plans. I mean, I’m bringing my laptop. Like maybe I’ll be joining you from LaGuardia. Oh. On Monday morning. Can you join us from the plane? I don’t think I can join you from the plane. Why not? They got Wi-Fi. Not that good. Okay, it it depends. It’s spotty. I think there are certain That would be so funny. First of all, if you’re sitting next to someone on an airplane and I’m like, “Hey, I got to host a show. If every Hey everybody, if you could just be quiet for the next hour and or don’t I don’t care. Just don’t swear. Don’t swear too loud.” And don’t sing to get us copyright infringement. You know how it goes. Whatever. Um but yeah, we have contingency plans. But hopefully I’ll see you on Monday. Lang will be here with CJ tomorrow. Have a wonderful rest of your Thursday. Enjoy the weather. It is gorgeous outside. It really is. We’ll see you later. Bye.
