Anthony Richardson Tapping Out, Top Horror Movies of All Time and Start/Bench/Cut QB Edition!

Speaker 1 All right, what's up, everybody? Um, God, it is a glorious day.

Speaker 2 The Dodgers are World Series champs. I was actually at game five in New York.
The stadium was electric when they were at 5-0.

Speaker 2 And then, maybe the worst half-inning in the history of baseball we've ever seen, just the airs. Um, anyway, uh, it was awesome to get to celebrate that.

Speaker 1 Uh, just every throwbacks episode is coming out today.

Speaker 2 We recorded earlier in the week, so we didn't know the result of the World Series. We are going to do a little bonus pod, a little 10 to 15-minute minute bonus pod on

Speaker 2 the reaction of the World Series. Obviously, I'm a lifelong Dodger fan.
Jerry's a lifelong Yankees fan. He's been awfully, awfully quiet this week.

Speaker 2 But stay tuned. Enjoy the show.

Speaker 3 Got a lot of great football talk.

Speaker 2 Great story about Kevin Dylan in this one.

Speaker 2 Hope you guys enjoy.

Speaker 1 I'm starting candy corn. Oh, God.

Speaker 4 What?

Speaker 4 You are one of those?

Speaker 1 Now, listen, people aren't really handing out candy corn for Halloween, but it is my favorite Halloween candy and the pumpkins. Yeah, it's fire.

Speaker 4 Man, I don't even know if I could do this podcast anymore. Dude, not only am I cutting your candy corn, I might just

Speaker 4 cut this out of the episode in general.

Speaker 4 Welcome to the show, everybody.

Speaker 4 And however you're taking in the show today, we appreciate it. Subscribe to us on YouTube if you haven't already.
Follow on Apple and Spotify. Leave reviews, all that good stuff.
We appreciate it.

Speaker 4 Hit us up on all social media platforms at Throwbacks Show. As me and Matt always say, we will respond.
I definitely

Speaker 1 talk to you. I give a little smack to Jerry because he's just salty just this week.
He's just been salty.

Speaker 4 Am I officially a mark on social media? Like, you could get me to respond with negativity and trolling my sports teams, and you'll get me.

Speaker 1 For sure. Like you're so easy on there.
You're so easy. Like

Speaker 1 ever since I obviously we got to know each other, it's just like, oh, Jerry just loves to be right in the middle of just like fire. You just like to be like the crosswinds of like

Speaker 1 people talking shit, fans stirring. You like to stir the pot.
You like to stir the pot is what I'm learning about you.

Speaker 4 I like to stir the pot.

Speaker 4 I think it's the new version of get off my lawn, right? I don't think anymore it'll be

Speaker 4 out like hosing off the cement and then some kids run by and I'm like, you know, I think it's me yelling at people in caps.

Speaker 1 By the way, this is what happens when you, when you, you know, you get into your mid-40s and you're just, you're, yeah, you give up, you give up, uh, you give up playing pickup basketball.

Speaker 1 You're just, you're a little salty and then you just want to sit there. You're like the keyboard warrior that you and I probably always talk shit to other people about.

Speaker 1 Listen, no, hey, I'm a keyboard warrior. I don't want to

Speaker 1 be playing.

Speaker 1 I've been under the weather this week. I'm just

Speaker 1 traveling a lot, man.

Speaker 4 How many miles have you logged with Big Noon?

Speaker 1 I don't know about that. 40,000 this year.
My Delta sky miles are just through the roof right now.

Speaker 4 We should mention, we talked about dressing up. It is Halloween today.
Happy Halloween, everybody. Happy Halloween.
We talked about wearing costumes on the show, and then we realized, no, we're not.

Speaker 1 Well, we realized, no, because

Speaker 1 I was like, I mean,

Speaker 1 we had this golf card parade this past a couple of days ago, and I dressed up as Donkey Kong. We were Mario Kart, and that's what the boys are going as for Halloween.
And yeah,

Speaker 1 I was about to go full Donkey Kong costume on this, but I'm actually glad he said no.

Speaker 4 No, no, no. But we do have joining us later, we have our lovely wives are going to stop by.
We haven't really done this yet on throwbacks.

Speaker 4 Josie's joined us before, but she joined us as Josie Leinert, the attorney.

Speaker 1 Yeah, now you're going to get, you're going to see the other side of her.

Speaker 3 Right.

Speaker 4 And, you know, my wife, Brie, and I, we actually used to do a podcast together back starting in 2012 called Bad for Business, where the whole theory behind it was, is it bad for business for a couple to work together and do a podcast every day?

Speaker 4 Turns out it wasn't.

Speaker 1 I was going to say, it can't be great, but if you guys figured it out.

Speaker 4 I fired her a bunch of times.

Speaker 1 I fired her a bunch of times. I'm excited.
I feel like that,

Speaker 1 like that conversation will just go anyway. There's a lot of holidays coming up.
There's a lot of just stuff around the house, a lot of sports that conflict with holidays.

Speaker 1 So I just be, you know, I just think as dads, it's like, you know, there's some things that we're going to have to do, but there's going to be some things that are just like non-negotiables.

Speaker 1 I would love to hear Breeze non-negotiables with you.

Speaker 4 I think a lot of this, when they come on later, is going to be, I already have a negotiation that I need to.

Speaker 4 So I'm using this forum and all our throwback listeners and viewers.

Speaker 1 This is for all the dads out there who are listening to us and are married. It's going to keep it calm.
We're with you guys. We are with you.

Speaker 4 Question for you real quick, since we're talking about Halloween.

Speaker 4 Do you know about getting

Speaker 1 booed? Not in the notes. Yeah, we just got booed.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we got booed. Wait, what? Not in the stadium.

Speaker 1 I was going to say,

Speaker 1 I've been booed plenty of times in my life. Yeah, we got booed the other night.

Speaker 4 So maybe this is the Brooklyn in me, and now I live in the suburbs, but

Speaker 4 a couple of nights ago at like 9 30 at night the doorbell rings and immediately i'm like where i need a weapon who rings the doorbell at 9 30 at night and i open the door and i see the remnants about a hundred yards away of some little kid with a hoodie running away i'm like oh great now we got what is this and i look on the ground and there's just a little pumpkin basket with a bunch of candy what a nice thing

Speaker 4 we didn't do that in bro if you roll up to someone's doorstep in the 90s in brooklyn ringing the bell yeah you're getting shanked maybe you're getting the hand you're getting the hand it's so so funny, man.

Speaker 1 Like, like,

Speaker 1 I think it's great because the kids love it. And we actually,

Speaker 1 we got booed this week.

Speaker 1 I think,

Speaker 1 yeah, I think Josie took the kids to boo a couple kids the other day. I wasn't here.
But it's kind of like elf on the shelf for Christmas.

Speaker 1 It's like, like, there's so many things that are added on to what is already a stressful time of like, dude, you got to wear the costume 18 freaking times because there's so many parties in schools.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 did you guys do, you guys did like a hayride or something? I saw on your Instagram. You did something or Brie took the boys somewhere.

Speaker 1 But there's just like, there's so many things now that lead up to it. So you have to buy like seven costumes and now you got to go booing.
And then for Christmas, it's got an elf on the shelf.

Speaker 1 And Josie writes a letter every single morning to the kids. And it's like, you got to remember.
And then you don't remember.

Speaker 4 It's like, shit, man.

Speaker 1 Like, what happened to just waking up? Christmas morning and being super pumped for the morning. Now there's like,

Speaker 1 this is what I'm going to ask the wives. Let's Alyssa, save it because they're coming.

Speaker 4 Don't unload just yet.

Speaker 1 That just got me fired up.

Speaker 4 This is a big test where you and I. We have to support each other through this journey of our wives joining us.

Speaker 1 I have a feeling I'm just going to, like, I already know, and I love my wife, but she is Cuban, and I think she's just going to rip me. I'm going to be honest.

Speaker 1 This is going to be 30 minutes of me just sitting here going, uh-huh.

Speaker 4 You're in the dunk tank. You're in.

Speaker 1 She got to see. You're in the dunk tank.

Speaker 1 This is my life. Oh, I love you.

Speaker 4 Also, later,

Speaker 4 it's my turn this week for the throwback three. I thought yours last week with conspiracy theory, sports conspiracies, was awesome.
Great reaction.

Speaker 4 A lot of people, very upset we didn't talk about the Michael Jordan gambling stuff. True.
We left that one off for whatever. But being that it's Halloween, I figured, let's just keep it simple.

Speaker 4 Let's go throwback three

Speaker 4 scary/slash horror movies at the end of the show. Dude,

Speaker 1 my number one

Speaker 1 still

Speaker 1 gives me nightmares today. Okay.
And it's not, I'll save it, but it's not, it's not, it's not like your typical Halloween movie. It's just a horror.

Speaker 1 It's just a scary movie that I think it's one of the best scary movies of all time.

Speaker 4 Well, speaking of nightmares,

Speaker 4 earlier in the week, Monday, I lived through a nightmare, which some of you are calling the sports equinox. You guys need to retire this word.
I don't ever want to hear it again.

Speaker 4 There's people who sent me screenshots that they faded every New York team on Monday sports equinox betting wise and hit.

Speaker 4 I went a a little road trip. I went with some friends to Steelers Giants while game four, while game three was going on with the Yankees.
And I got to say, shout outs to Pittsburgh.

Speaker 1 I've never been

Speaker 4 great town, great setup. I know a lot of people do this on YouTube.
Like they will rate tailgates and they'll rate just the overall experience. For me,

Speaker 4 I give it a nine out of 10. And the only reason why it's not a 10 out of 10 is no phone service or Wi-Fi.

Speaker 4 So to the dudes sitting to my right, there was three dudes, I think from Brooklyn, who were trying to watch the Yankee, and they brought iPads to the stadium, which I thought was an ultimate flex.

Speaker 4 We were in there, and you are forced to just watch the pillow fight that was Steelers' Giants for three and a half.

Speaker 1 By the way, when you guys went, and I'm sure you're sitting there and you're like, all right, let's watch this game.

Speaker 1 When you find out that you cannot put on the Yankees game, how pissed were you guys?

Speaker 4 It was pretty, it was,

Speaker 4 because I was just, I was so impressed that these dudes brought the iPad. I wouldn't have the courage to do that.

Speaker 4 So I was very excited to, by the way, we were, shout outs to John Franklin who got the tickets. Second row, 40-yard line on the Giants side.
So I didn't pay for the tickets. I was a guest.

Speaker 4 I was a plus one. But the real thing I wanted to tell you, two things.

Speaker 4 I really feel like I swung on the jersey argument because...

Speaker 4 Pittsburgh, obviously, they're wearing some throwbacks. There was like a Randall L jersey, old school Plaxico jersey.
I saw the Randall L jersey was my favorite. A lot of Heinz wore jerseys.

Speaker 1 Just

Speaker 1 this whole jersey thing, like I'm not going to backtrack, but the fact that, but

Speaker 1 I don't really have a problem with guys wearing a jersey at a game in that atmosphere. It was incredible.
Yeah, I don't like, well, I say Pittsburgh.

Speaker 1 There's so many reasons why an organization has success, but you can see, right, when you're there, you have the town, the people, you have the ownership.

Speaker 1 like it is it is a football town like blue collar hardworking you know coach wanstead dave wansted

Speaker 1 one of my great buddies is from pittsburgh he never i don't think he coached cowboys miami all those school cowboys uh bears but he is like pittsburgh through and through and in this profession that i'm in i've met some pittsburgh people and it's like my favorite people in the world because they are just like it's pittsburgh yeah like they're just they're just tough nose and that state that's awesome.

Speaker 1 I've played their preseason 07

Speaker 1 or 06 and 07. It was awesome, man.
Like, it's a great town.

Speaker 4 Also, low-key, the Pirates Stadium, I didn't go in it, obviously, because they're not playing, but just where it's located.

Speaker 1 It's right on the water right there.

Speaker 4 It's beautiful. But the thing I really wanted to tell you about, because two weeks ago, you opened up, or maybe last week, you opened up on the show.
We know you eat your boogers. That's cool.

Speaker 4 You talked about pissing your pants.

Speaker 1 First of all, I don't eat my boogers. You used to eat your boogers when when I was like four.

Speaker 4 Right.

Speaker 4 But then you told me that you revealed about when players have to piss, that they just get wrapped with a bunch of jackets.

Speaker 1 You just found yourself watching the whole time.

Speaker 4 And maybe I haven't been to enough football games or had good enough. Did you see it?

Speaker 4 Did I see it?

Speaker 4 Again, 40-yard line facing the Giants. I am about 30 yards away.
From what they basically have like the crates that hold helmets and different things. They walk them in there.

Speaker 4 They cover them with jackets. The players walk out with a piss bag.

Speaker 1 Oh, they pee in a bag now.

Speaker 4 In a bag. Oh, I was like,

Speaker 4 I was like, do I feel? I almost wanted to film it and send it to you just to be like, I can't believe I never knew this.

Speaker 1 And now

Speaker 1 there's no blue tent. No blue tent.
They're just going.

Speaker 4 I saw five players.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 What did you expect?

Speaker 4 30 feet in front of me. No, I get it.
I just, I never noticed it.

Speaker 4 And then at one point, I won't name the player, but the player came out with a piss bag and a fan said something and he like fake, he pump-faked, and he's going to throw the bag of piss at him.

Speaker 1 Isn't it? I'm telling you, right? It's so, I gave you the perspective from a player because we're sitting there kneel down. Like, like, it's almost, it's like, it's like, where's Waldo?

Speaker 1 Like, you have no, because you're not looking for it. But now, and we're, and I'm sitting there, I've, I'm literally looking.

Speaker 1 I would have been looking at you, be like, oh, there's Jerry Farrar right there, second row. He has no idea.
I'm taking a piss right now on the field.

Speaker 1 But now that you're, you're going to, like, you're not going to, you can't unsee that, dude. I'm telling you.
People are not uncrazy. I'm like, what do you think?

Speaker 1 What do you expect us to do on the sideline? Now, if you if you got to drop a deuce, like if that's another thing, I don't know.

Speaker 1 I don't know of anyone who had to drop a deuce during a game, but that's a whole other five players pissed

Speaker 4 30 feet in front of me. And then I'm like, I can't film this because that just is the creep.

Speaker 4 I'd be the biggest creep of all of that.

Speaker 1 That'd be a little weird.

Speaker 4 I was more so just like.

Speaker 1 You know what we call that? We call that. We call that Peter gazing.

Speaker 1 We used to call that Peter Gazing. Anytime,

Speaker 1 this is why I love this pod, dude, because anytime this has nothing to do with anything other than anytime we were in a locker, a locker room and anybody that was not on our football team that walked in, we just start yelling,

Speaker 1 Peter Gazer.

Speaker 4 We're staying here, okay? This show's off the real, off the rails already. And we are going to do something too that we came up with for Halloween.

Speaker 4 We're going to do a fun start bench or cut coming up in a second. Yeah.
You just reminded me of a story I think I have to tell.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Is this on the set of Entrage?

Speaker 4 No, even better. So a buddy of mine who helped me move one time just sent me an envelope of like some random stuff that he that he somehow had in mind.

Speaker 4 And one of them was my ticket to the Golden Globes in like 2009, right? Entourage got nominated six years in a row for best comedy.

Speaker 1 We lost six years straight.

Speaker 4 So we're the Buffalo Bills of

Speaker 4 Outstanding Comedy Worth.

Speaker 1 But the Golden Globes.

Speaker 4 is of course it's an amazing party but look the Emmys is an amazing party the Emmys you're in a theater you're locked in. It's also a dry party.
No one's really drinking.

Speaker 1 You can't drink. Is it?

Speaker 4 Yeah. And if you like go out for a commercial break, you're locked out of the theater till the commercial breaks back.
It's very organized and technical. The Golden Globes, you're at a table.

Speaker 4 It's like a ballroom. You're at like a wedding, essentially.
And you're drinking and you can go in and out. There's people going outside to smoke.
And it's great. It's a lot of fun.

Speaker 4 I still can't believe I've actually been to this. One year.
Okay.

Speaker 4 We go. And we always had to work the next day with a a 6 a.m.

Speaker 1 call time.

Speaker 4 So no one ever got too, you know, banged out. But

Speaker 4 commercial break, our awards coming up. So we know, all right, we got to go.
I got a lot of guys had to go pee. We're going to go use the bathroom and come back.

Speaker 4 We have to be at the table for the awards.

Speaker 4 We go in there. Now you're in this bathroom, dude.
It's like me, Kevin Dillon, James Cameron, Johnny Depp, crazy. Bunch of dudes taking the piss.

Speaker 4 I shit, you know, this is why Kevin Dillon is the best. Kevin Connolly walks in while we're all at our own stalls peeing.
Connolly walks in. It's dead quiet in front of all these stars.

Speaker 4 And Kevin Dylan goes,

Speaker 1 you might want to cover up, boys. We got a peeker walking.
Kevin Connolly walks in.

Speaker 1 He was devastated. It was Connolly.
It was Connolly. He was making fun of Connolly.

Speaker 4 All right. So a couple of things that...
just stood out from the NFL in week eight that is still

Speaker 4 going on that we have to talk about because I, you know, every week I watch football and I just think of 15 things I want to ask you. Bradley Boseman comes to the defense of Justin Herbert.

Speaker 1 Fucking love that shit.

Speaker 4 And what I saw,

Speaker 4 we talked last week about every play. There's 2,000 cameras in the football game.
So if you're Nathan Shepard from New Orleans, you know that that tape, that footage is going to be anywhere.

Speaker 4 Everywhere. It looked like he was trying to rip off.
Justin Herbert's leg. So I don't know why he made that choice.
Did you see it in the moment? And what did you think about that?

Speaker 4 And you have to come to the defense, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, I saw obviously the highlight of it. And

Speaker 1 for the defensive player, again,

Speaker 1 nasty, dirty. You know, he's got a bum ankle, all the, all those things.
That, that was blatant. Like that, like, there's, there's some, there's some, there's cheap shots.

Speaker 1 There's some that are blatant. There's some that are like, hey, like, you know, some of these rules with the, with the defensive players now, like, I, I get it.

Speaker 1 I think we can all use our own judgment and say, like, all right, that wasn't a dirty play. That was a dirty play.

Speaker 1 And And when you see your lineman, like, especially as a quarterback, and when you see your lineman just do that and just not give a shit, like you're going to get fined, you're going to get penalized to all that.

Speaker 1 I mean, that's, there's a, there's a, like, you protect your quarterback. You protect your quarterback.
You protect him for a lot of reasons. But obviously, Justin Herbert has the respect of his guys.

Speaker 1 You love to see that. That's, that's, that's, that's the lineman's job.

Speaker 1 And they take a lot of pride in making sure that their quarterback is upright, that their quarterback doesn't get hit throughout a game. And then when they take it to the nether level,

Speaker 1 that's what you get. I loved it.
I love that stuff, man. Like, obviously, the play was dirty.
I hate that.

Speaker 1 But I love when guys stand up for other guys, especially as a quarterback, when we see our big boys who, by the way, get no recognition, get no love, get no glory.

Speaker 1 Herbert's making 50 mil a year, and this dude's trying to break his ankle. And this guy just runs and just like body slams him on the ground.

Speaker 1 And by the way, would have gone to blows with that dude if he didn't get him off.

Speaker 1 I love it, man.

Speaker 1 Terrible play, but I love the fact that, I mean, that's what you do, you know?

Speaker 4 And that's something that feels like it could bring a team together. I'm also after.

Speaker 1 Well, it also just shows, it just shows too, like, you know, like Harbaugh, like Harbaugh's. Harbaugh is a football guy.

Speaker 4 It's a mentality.

Speaker 1 He's a little, a little weird. Like, yeah, he's the mentality.
So good teams, and we talk about this in college a lot, but it does translate in the NFL. Like good teams take on

Speaker 1 the personality of their head coach. He's a football guy.
He's tough as nails. This Chargers team is tough as nails, man.
And they weren't like that the last couple of years, but you can see that.

Speaker 1 And you can say, well, it's just one play, but that's the personality of this team. And I love that, man.
Like, good on him.

Speaker 4 So after living through the terrible sports equinox earlier in the week where every single New York team got smacked, I was- By the way, after we were praising the New York of like having the greatest time to be a New York fan, sorry, keep going.

Speaker 4 Yeah, and your reverse jinx with Swisher and I, just letting us just do Yankee porn for 30 minutes.

Speaker 4 We really worked well. But anyway, I'm also torturing myself.
I'm watching the comeback on Netflix about the Boston Red Sox comeback in 2004. Why would I watch this, you ask?

Speaker 4 Well, I feel like, being that I watched the Captain Jeter documentary 400 times, I just feel like you got to balance things out.

Speaker 4 And I bring this up in regards to Bozeman because in 04, with this comeback, spoiler, this played out in front of us, so I'm not ruining it for you.

Speaker 4 But the Red Sox halfway through the year were having a rough go of it. And do you remember the A-Rod fight with Veritech at home plate? Oh, yeah.
That's where they turned everything around.

Speaker 4 And isn't it crazy? Like, there's and they were just beaming at you, listening to Clemens and Pedro just talk about who you want me to get tonight, who you want me to take out tonight.

Speaker 4 That's a different game that no longer is played. But the fight, it seemed like, was the thing that galvanized the chemistry of that Red Sox team.
They were not getting along.

Speaker 4 If you remember, they tried to trade Nomar, you know, for A-Rod, and that didn't work out. So Nomar was pissed.
And man, he was in the trade. So they were hating each other.

Speaker 4 That fight, that Veritech fight, where we kind of got the best of A-Rod,

Speaker 4 brought them together.

Speaker 1 It's so, this is why I love sports. And people like, people always ask, is momentum real? Is there, is, is there, like, I fully, it comes in a lot of different ways.
Um,

Speaker 1 and that just reminded me of like what Kika Hernandez said, uh, what, a couple weeks ago, like when he, when he dropped the F-bomb on live TV, and they said, like, what's the difference of last year's team and this year's team?

Speaker 1 And he's like, we just don't give a fuck. And like, that, that's not a moment, but that is like a team that you know, like.
Like you can tell with the Dodgers, like the chemistry, they play together.

Speaker 1 They just, they really don't. They don't give a shit about anything else.
And to your point, like a Red Sox, when you have a moment like that, like that really happens.

Speaker 1 And maybe this incident galvanizes the team. Maybe it doesn't, but like it does, it does, it does bring you closer together and in a way that it's hard for me to explain.

Speaker 1 You just have to be in the moment and be in that locker room. You know what I mean? And, but yeah, I mean, you're, you're right with the Red Sox thing.
Sometimes those things happen, man.

Speaker 1 And it's the best thing. Honestly, sometimes.
And this is true. Like, I'd love to get a coach on here.
Like coaches would, coaches would want a fight to break out. Start a fight.

Speaker 1 In training camp. Hey, and especially in training camp when it gets a little monotonous and you're going against each other.

Speaker 1 We have coaches be like, hey, and it'd be staged, but two guys alignment, D-lime. Hey,

Speaker 1 let's get a little fight going. Let's see.

Speaker 1 We need a little juice. Some after the whistle stuff.
We just need a little energy for this team. And it just, for whatever reason, man, it gets you going.

Speaker 4 I wish actors could do that.

Speaker 4 Hey, go up and fucking slap Adrian in the back of the head.

Speaker 4 Get him fired up. I wish we could do that.
That'd be so fun. We'd all be arrested and Hollywood would be shut down.

Speaker 1 By the way, I think your boy was at...

Speaker 4 He was at Texas.

Speaker 1 He was at Texas, Georgia game.

Speaker 4 Listen.

Speaker 1 Honestly,

Speaker 1 I was like, I saw it come on my feed and I'm like, I think I almost screenshotted me like, I didn't think he was a sports fan. I was like, why is he at this game?

Speaker 4 Well, he lives in Texas now. All right, well, there you go.
He does live in Texas. And

Speaker 4 he's gone to some sporting events over the years.

Speaker 4 My favorite Grenier sports memory was when we presented an award at the Espys as a group one year, early on in the Espies, we're doing the red carpet, and someone's asking us like our favorite Yankees of all time, and he's already hitting me.

Speaker 1 That's what he said.

Speaker 4 So Hideki Matsui.

Speaker 4 Somewhere in his video. Oh, yeah, he went like Hideki Matsumi, I think he said.

Speaker 1 He mispronounced his name. Yeah, he doesn't strike me as a big sports guy.

Speaker 4 No, but he's a good hang. And also, the comeback on Netflix is honorable mention from my horror movie later in the Throwback 3, because I don't know why I'm doing that to ourselves.

Speaker 4 Also, something else, Matt, I wanted to ask you when I was watching football. You know, I saw, you know, Richardson pulled himself out of the game.

Speaker 4 And now a few days ago, Colts basically came out and benched him.

Speaker 1 And I'm just confused where this

Speaker 4 goes now and the stuff that's happening with some of these really, really high quarterback draft picks.

Speaker 1 Well, yeah, I've never seen anything like that in the history of football, especially at that position. And, you know, this, this, this kid, obviously, a great kid.

Speaker 1 You know, I know everyone likes him over there in the locker room, and he's young, and he does have a lot of talent. But I think first, if you just look at the play, he hasn't been great.

Speaker 1 He's been hurt a lot in his young career.

Speaker 1 And then just in that moment, to it's, it's such a, it's one play, right? Hey, I'm tapping out. I'm too tired to go.

Speaker 1 But what that play, it just, it's so much bigger than that because you're, you're a franchise quarterback. You're a top five pick.
You're making millions of dollars.

Speaker 1 You're, you're supposed to, you're, you're like, you're the fearless leader of a franchise that is trying to, you know, obviously Colts have a great franchise, but trying to get in the playoffs and trying to win the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 And that's what you were drafted to potentially do. And you tap out because you're tired.
And we've seen quarterback after quarterback over the years play hurt, play with pain, play with injury.

Speaker 1 You look at Matt Stafford, you look at, I mean, even Kirk Cousins, you know, the quarterback was a great show on Netflix because it kind of brought you in, like, you just kind of see what these guys go through.

Speaker 1 But you play for your team, you tough it out, you do everything you can to stay on the field. That's like, that's like the number one rule in football.
So

Speaker 1 you figured it had a lot of backlash, obviously, with a lot of guys in the media saying, how could you do that to your team? And then now clearly

Speaker 1 being benched and going in a different direction is not, it's not not surprising to me, Jerry. Like, it's just not.
Like, it's just, it's, it's just, you can't do that. It's like one of those things.

Speaker 1 It's like a no-no in sports. Like, bro, you're, you're, you're a grown man, get in shape, work out.
Like, and don't say it to the media. Lamar Jackson runs every, every down.

Speaker 1 Like, Kyler Murray runs a lot. Like, you just, like, like, I don't know.
It's just a bad, it's a perception thing. It's bad.
And now, and now they're going in a different direction.

Speaker 4 And this is an impossible question to answer because no one could know because I don't even think the Colts know, but we saw it with Bryce. We saw it years ago with Trey Lance.
Like,

Speaker 4 I'm not saying could this be it? Because everyone rushes to judgment, but

Speaker 4 is this something where, all right, we'll just reset and let them get another offseason, let them watch flacco. Essentially, are we getting the sitting year quarterback for a year or two

Speaker 4 in a new way? Is this the new way to do it where like you test the water, see what they got? And if you don't like what you're seeing, you pull them.

Speaker 4 Hopefully, you have a veteran Flacco-like quarterback to sort of lead.

Speaker 1 because that's what's happening you're doing it almost a little backward i always say this and like we i've been in these locker rooms i've been on a team as players and coaches you know what you see from guys every day in practice right so these coaches know

Speaker 1 that whether it's a bryce young or whether it's an anthony richardson they know what they have in that guy every single day now they're not going to go out and say that publicly whether they think he's going to be great or not they know So that's why you see sometimes these types of decisions, they know what they have in Anthony Richardson for two years now.

Speaker 1 Now, I think they know the upside, but they also, and I'm just speaking like devil's advocate, they might see like, hey, I'm not sure he's going to get to a point where we need, we need him to be.

Speaker 1 We just don't know.

Speaker 1 Or they can be like, hey, we got Joe Flacco. He's won games.
He's been great the last couple of years in these types of situations.

Speaker 1 Maybe AR just needs a little time to like, hey, let's skit you out of the spotlight. Let's work.
Let's grow. Let's learn from Joe and let's let's kind of regroup.

Speaker 1 And then maybe there's a quarterback battle next year. You know what I mean? So like, but these, these teams understand what they have within those walls.

Speaker 1 And usually when decisions are made like this,

Speaker 1 it's not great for a young quarterback because, I mean, obviously, especially coming off the fact that, you know, he's, I don't even know what he's completing less than 50% of his throws.

Speaker 1 He's been hurt a ton. You know what I mean? So, and it's not like they got good players over there.
You know, they got a great running back. They got some good receivers.
Tell you what.

Speaker 4 And I hope it all works out for Richardson. He really does seem like a good guy.
And there's definitely not a shortage of talent. That's for sure.

Speaker 1 There's a lot of raw athleticism that not a lot of people have. A lot of raw athleticism.

Speaker 4 Not a lot of players have. I'll tell you what, too.

Speaker 1 It makes me absolutely terrified for every.

Speaker 4 Giant fan, Browns fan, whoever is like, oh, you're still holding on to Danny Dimes. Because it's terrifying drafting a quarterback.
It's terrifying.

Speaker 4 So if you have someone, yeah, Danny Dimes, they'll move on, I'm sure. But it's terrifying.
And this draft particularly is going to be, it's just, who knows? Who knows?

Speaker 1 I can't wait to talk draft with you because it's going to be.

Speaker 4 And we're going to be drafting the quarterback for the first time in five years. I would, you would imagine.

Speaker 1 And I'd imagine, yeah.

Speaker 4 All this stuff just makes me think that it's impossible. And it really, so much luck has to factor in, or you just have genius level scouts and genius level organization who just knew.

Speaker 4 knew i'm sure there's people saying we knew josh allen would be great and there's people saying we knew that patrick mahomes was our guy sure but they've said similar things to the last the last thing the last thing i'd say to this is um

Speaker 1 i i had to actually talk to pete carroll this week we we caught up and i'm not going to say who we were talking about but

Speaker 1 we were just talking about quarterbacks and

Speaker 1 we and this is just my point of view. You mentioned guys like Josh Allen and you mentioned guys like Mahomes.
There are some quarterbacks who

Speaker 1 just have a rare trait that you feel like, okay,

Speaker 1 we've seen enough, like we can mold this. Mahomes had it.
Mahomes's arm talent out of Texas Tech was through the roof.

Speaker 1 Now, and Andy Reid guaranteed was like, I can make this guy great because I know, I see that.

Speaker 1 Josh Allen was 6'5, 240, threw the ball 90 yards, could run, played at a small town, but like there was enough there, right? Lamar is a freak.

Speaker 1 Lamar's rare so like there's rare players like that and and i i wouldn't put anthony richardson in that situation even though he has rare traits he only played like nine games his whole career in college right so like

Speaker 1 his small sample size is kind of working against him um but that's the thing that's the thing and that's and that's when drafting a first-round quarterback now especially with the way the game has changed Are they, do they have something that just sets them apart, right?

Speaker 1 That you feel like you can develop? And I think there's a lot of guys that they just don't now. Like, they're just guys, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 And I think that's what we've seen with some of these first rounders the last couple of years. So, yeah.
Well,

Speaker 4 still room for Anthony Richardson. Hopefully, me too.

Speaker 4 He gets another crack out there.

Speaker 1 Young kid. He's got, he's got, he's got time.

Speaker 4 We're going to move now into, and I'm wondering if we're going to finally overlap. We have not talked in advance about this.

Speaker 1 I'm worried because I think we might not worry about the same one. No, there's no way.

Speaker 4 If you don't know what I'm talking about, I'm talking about our can't get enough sauce moment of the week. Also, shout outs to Wendy's just sending over the saucy nugs.
I got problems, man.

Speaker 4 I love the saucy nugget. They're so good.

Speaker 4 This is where Matt and I pick, this is where Matt and I pick a player, someone on or off the field that's doing something that we can't get enough of, just like we can't get enough of Wendy's saucy nugs.

Speaker 4 Matt, do you want me to go first? Do you want to go first?

Speaker 1 I mean, whatever. What do you want? I'm going to go first.
I'm going to throw it down first because just in case you're not going to have the same one. There's no way.
Oh. Mine's a group.

Speaker 1 Oh, then we're not going to have the same one.

Speaker 4 But how do you not say your your can't get enough sauce moment of the week is not Jameis Winston? How do you like NFL football

Speaker 4 and not say not only was the game outstanding, but the post-game presser? Talk about media training. I just think that we need to enjoy this Jameis Rinston run for as long as it lasts.

Speaker 4 It might be a game or two. It might be the rest of the season.
It might be comeback player of the year next year.

Speaker 1 Who knows? Dude, anything can happen with him. We need to get him on the pod.
He's like

Speaker 4 in my top five list of people I want to get on the pod quickly to talk to.

Speaker 1 He's probably like three or four.

Speaker 4 I really want to talk to you.

Speaker 4 I just think we'd have a lot of good things to say.

Speaker 1 No, he's the best, man. Like, he's like,

Speaker 1 there was one quote where one of his teammates, it was like,

Speaker 1 he says the play

Speaker 1 like, what was a quote?

Speaker 1 Andrew, can we get the quote up here on our day? Something about he's, he, he says the play like you've never heard, like, like the world is ending or something.

Speaker 1 Like, it was something it was some crazy like he has to tell you a secret he has to tell you a secret like he says the play he has to like tell you

Speaker 1 guys we're like this this is what we're gonna do and and you see it you see it on sometimes on the film and the cameras it is so that's how I get my kids to like sit down and eat breakfast guys

Speaker 1 by the way there's nothing better

Speaker 1 there's nothing better than like being in a huddle and and calling a play right like because every all the eyes are on you it's like the next like it's that's a cool feeling of a quarterback because it's like this is this is your huddle there is no one that commands a huddle in in his in his own fashion than james jameson dude well that's mine yeah you didn't even he's not even a specific saw he's all the sauces mixed together so let's hear yours all right so i'm i'm mixing a lot of sauces together i'm going

Speaker 1 i'm going my tight ends on national tight ends day okay that's the saucy nugs of the week okay listen to this for a second

Speaker 1 there

Speaker 1 were a combined 183 catches. And for guys that play fantasy football like myself, I'm in like seven leagues, okay?

Speaker 1 Combined 183 catches for over 2,000 yards from tight ends this past weekend. 17 touchdowns.
He had a couple guys, Kate Otten, Pitts, each had two touchdowns. Kittle went off.
Kelsey went off.

Speaker 1 These guys deem their own holiday because they weren't getting enough lot. They do the camp in the offseason.

Speaker 1 National Tight Ends Day this past weekend. Those boys went off.
Shout out to the tight ends. It's a collection.
It's not just one. They don't get a lot of love.
All the receivers get love.

Speaker 1 Quarterbacks get love. Running backs get some love.
The tight ends do the dirty work, but these guys went off. So that's my saucy nugs

Speaker 1 of the day.

Speaker 4 You know, there was a, yeah, I definitely,

Speaker 1 it was the biggest tight end day in the history of the NFL or close to it.

Speaker 4 I put a lot of tight ends in some parlays. The one that stuck out first was Kyle Pitts.

Speaker 4 Kirk Cousins, we got to enjoy because he's somehow now, you could start Kyle Pitts every week now in fancy.

Speaker 1 Trust me. Start him every week.
I have him in a league that I'm like.

Speaker 4 And that's scary normally, but now you might be in the safe zone. And also, shout outs to the boys in Tampa, even though they lost a tough one in the same game.

Speaker 4 I mean, Kate Otten stepping up in Evans and Godwin's action.

Speaker 1 Exactly. You knew that was good.

Speaker 4 Baker's still doing his thing.

Speaker 4 So I don't think we're going to see the same kind of tight end performance again, But we're going to take a break and then we got a lot of fun stuff when we come back for it.

Speaker 4 And then the wives will be joining us shortly.

Speaker 4 I heard someone just pull from the garage. So it's on.

Speaker 1 All right. Welcome back, everybody.
It is time to Crown them

Speaker 1 brought to you by my friends at DraftKings.

Speaker 1 And this week, we got a couple big matchups this week. I'm going to the game over in Dallas, Pitt at SMU.
Both of these teams undefeated in ACC play. Pitt is getting seven and a half points.

Speaker 1 I am taking Pitt plus the points. We don't know yet if their starting quarterback Eli Holstein is playing.
The backup has a lot of

Speaker 1 obviously experience from last week. This to me is a game strength on strength.
You got SME with the number one rushing offense in the ACC going up against Pitt and the number two rushing defense.

Speaker 1 I like that matchup for Pitt. I even like Pitt potentially to win this game.
So give me Pitt plus seven and a half. That is my crown game of the week.

Speaker 1 We have another big game, obviously, Ohio State, Penn State. The weekend slate of games, guys, is jam-packs.

All lines are subject to change. All right, Jerry, NFL, Halloween edition, start bench cut.

Speaker 1 What do we got, buddy?

Speaker 4 So we all love lists.

Speaker 4 I think everyone, every sports fan loves to make a list. I think start bench cut is a fun one because you're not really cutting any of these players.

Speaker 4 This is inspired by my 16-year-old nephew because because I did not expect to have a one-hour conversation on Sunday while watching football as to why Patrick Mahomes is kind of just not great this year, and they're winning despite Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 4 Didn't expect to have that argument. So, shout outs to my 16-year-old nephew.
We have some fun categories that are football-related, and then we have some Halloween-centric ones.

Speaker 4 I figured we rip through these. No right or wrong answers.

Speaker 1 Okay. All right.

Speaker 4 So, first one, we're sticking in football, the elites. We know who the elite three quarterbacks are: Mahomes, Lamar, Josh Allen.
Who are you starting? Who are you benching? Who are you cutting?

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 I'm going to be a typical 16-year-old. I'm going to be like, okay, is this regular season or is this playoffs? This is.

Speaker 1 Is this right now? Is this right now? This is right now.

Speaker 4 This is in the moment.

Speaker 1 All right, right now. If right now,

Speaker 1 I'm starting

Speaker 1 Lamar Jackson. I'm benching Josh Allen and I'm cutting Patty Mahomes.

Speaker 4 And Matt turns into a 16-year-old high school.

Speaker 1 But that's right now. That's what I'm saying.
Obviously, I'm flipping the script on all three of those if it's a playoff game.

Speaker 1 I hear that.

Speaker 4 Okay, I got Josh Allen one because I'm starting Josh Allen. He's the MVP of the league so far.

Speaker 1 I'm sorry. Lamar might be the MVP of the league, but we can keep going.

Speaker 1 I'm sorry. This is the best Josh Allen has played in his career.
He's balling.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I think he threw his first interception last week, and we're on week eight.

Speaker 1 Are we both benching Patty?

Speaker 4 No, I'm

Speaker 4 cutting Patty. You're cutting Patty.
I'm benching Mahomes only because Allen's been so good, but still, I get it. He's throwing a lot of interceptions.

Speaker 4 My whole argument with my 16-year-old nephew was not a whole lot of weapons over there. The guy just got D-hopped.
They're undefeated.

Speaker 4 I know the defense is elite, but I just feel like Patrick Mahomes is like playing with his food.

Speaker 1 He's cutting the NFL MVP frontrunner again, Lamar.

Speaker 4 I love Lamar Jackson.

Speaker 1 Love him.

Speaker 4 But don't talk to some Ravens fans about how those leads are evaporating. And I'm not saying that's on him.
It's on the defense too.

Speaker 1 But he's lost.

Speaker 4 The Ravens have lost too many goofy games already.

Speaker 1 All All right. They've lost two games.

Speaker 1 I mean, what are they, six and two? No, I think they lost three games. But either way, you should not.

Speaker 4 The Browns game, that shouldn't have happened. I know it was a motivated team.

Speaker 1 For that, this week, I'm coming.

Speaker 1 We're going to move on. We're going to move on to the, we're going to do, let's just go in order here.
We're going to go to the treats. Okay.
We're going to go little Halloween edition.

Speaker 1 We're going to go candy. I have a strong opinion on Halloween candy.

Speaker 1 Okay, start bench cut, Sour Patch, kids, chocolate, which could mean anything, or Starburst.

Speaker 4 All right, for me, it chocolate starts, but I do think that, yeah, chocolate is a little too.

Speaker 1 Are we going Snickers? Are we going Milky Way?

Speaker 4 Yeah, well, I think we'll get, you know what? Let's just do a separate. How about this? Let's take chocolates off.
We'll do a whole separate chocolate thing. So let's do Sour Patch, kids, Starburst.

Speaker 4 I'll throw in.

Speaker 4 Did you like nerds as a kid? No nerds. That's fine.

Speaker 1 My favorite Halloween candy is not even on there.

Speaker 4 All right. So do your number one, your favorite, and then do the Sour Patch and Starburst after that.

Speaker 1 Okay. All right, so I'm starting, I'm starting candy corn.
Oh, I know, I know, I know. It's my favorite candy.
You are one of those. This is, this, I am one of.

Speaker 1 Now, listen, people aren't really handing out candy corn for Halloween, but it is my favorite Halloween candy and the pumpkins.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's fire. So I would start that.
Now,

Speaker 1 Sour Patch Kids to me is like my all-time also favorite. So like, I'm going to start

Speaker 1 Candy Corn. I'm going to bench Sour Patch Kids and I'm going to cut Starburst.

Speaker 1 I like Starburst, but in that trio, big chocolate. I love Tootsie Rolls.
Little Tootsie Rolls on the colours. But we'll get into the chocolate category.
What do you got?

Speaker 4 I don't even know if I could do this podcast anymore.

Speaker 1 Dude, I know.

Speaker 1 I tweeted that out like last year and people just ripped me.

Speaker 2 I'm like, dude, I love it.

Speaker 4 You're going to get ripped again. I'm starting.

Speaker 4 I'm starting Starburst. You give me a yellow or a red Starburst.
I'm in.

Speaker 1 Paint in pink. Orange is terrible.

Speaker 4 I'm benching Sour Patch kids.

Speaker 4 That's a mood thing for me. Sometimes, yeah, sometimes.

Speaker 4 Dude, not only am I cutting your candy corn, I might just

Speaker 4 cut this out of the episode in general.

Speaker 1 This is another, I'm going to,

Speaker 1 where does candy corn rank on everybody's Halloween candy?

Speaker 4 What's the lowest number?

Speaker 1 It's actually more split than you would think. I think people, yeah.
This is our poll then. We got our poll.

Speaker 4 Let's do the poll because I think that whatever the lowest thing on the list is, that's what candy corn could be. Let's go back to football.

Speaker 4 Let's do the bounce backs, people who maybe could have gotten like a comeback award or just guys who are on new teams that have really thrived.

Speaker 4 Sam Darnold, who still has no nickname and is not going to get one. Baker Mayfield, without his two best receivers, still putting up numbers.

Speaker 4 And a guy I think should get some league MVP consideration.

Speaker 1 Shouldn't win, Jared Goff. I mean, he's not bouncing.
Jared Goff almost led him to a Super Bowl last year. So I'm going to go.

Speaker 1 I mean, I'm starting Jared Goff. And

Speaker 1 I love all these guys. I love my boy Bake, but I'm starting Jared Goff.
This dude,

Speaker 1 when it's all said and done,

Speaker 1 went to a Super Bowl with the Rams, right? Lost, was close, and now has sort of revived this whole Detroit Lions organization with him and his head coach. Was close a year ago,

Speaker 1 arguably the best team in football right now.

Speaker 1 I'm starting my boy Jared Goff, Cal Bears' finest.

Speaker 1 I'm going to bench Baker.

Speaker 1 Again, I'm going to bench Baker. We saw it last year.
I believe in him. I'm going to cut Sam.
Now, Sam's balling, and it's a great story, and I think he's going to continue to have a good year.

Speaker 1 They're good. I just, you kind of got to see it week in and week out for a whole season.
And so we'll see if they can sustain that. But yeah, Jared Goff's getting.

Speaker 4 I have the same exact list, so I'm not even going to regret it. Like you hit it on the head because I want to get to a much more important category.

Speaker 4 Let's talk about the chocolates. You mentioned it.
You're right. Chocolate can't just be a candy.

Speaker 1 It needs its own category.

Speaker 4 Really? Oh.

Speaker 1 No, no, I'll do this for Halloween.

Speaker 1 Did you just say the three?

Speaker 4 Well, here's the three because one of these things is going to come up.

Speaker 4 What do you got?

Speaker 4 I got Kit Kat. Snickers or Reese's peanut butter cups, which everyone who says Reese's, you're long.
It's such a Midwestern thing. You're wrong.
It's not Reese's peanut butter cup.

Speaker 1 It's Reese's.

Speaker 4 That's why there's an apostrophe there.

Speaker 4 What's that? What do you got?

Speaker 1 If you have trouble, I can go. Yeah, you go.

Speaker 4 The Kit Kat is number one for me, but it's very specific. I'm starting Kit Kat.

Speaker 1 Strange.

Speaker 4 But you got to put it in the fridge.

Speaker 1 It's got to be cold. You got to have a cold Kit Kat.

Speaker 4 That to me elevates it to starter level. Then I'm going to bench Reese's peanut butter cups.
Still love it, though. Could easily have been a starter.
A little bit of a quarterback controversy almost.

Speaker 4 And then, yeah, I'm cutting Snickers.

Speaker 1 great campaigns over the years not like a hater but just didn't this this just doesn't crack the top for me snick snickers is borderline greatest candy of all time greatest candy of all time i'm gonna start snickers i'm not a huge i'm not a huge chocolate guy i'm gonna say that again i'm gonna start snickers i am going to

Speaker 1 bench reese's peanut butter cup josie loves it i know everybody loves it it's just i'm not a fan i don't mind it but it's okay kick hat i don't get the allure I don't get the allure of Kit Kats.

Speaker 1 Don't care. Don't need it in my life.
Don't need it frozen or cold.

Speaker 1 I could do away with Kit Kat. Probably

Speaker 1 how you view candy corn. I don't even hate Kit Kat.

Speaker 1 I just, it's like a, it's like a, it's like a mounds bar and some of these chocolates that I'm like, like, even like three musketeers, like, just doesn't do anything for me.

Speaker 1 It doesn't move the needle.

Speaker 4 Three musketeers used to be my favorite as a kid. Are you trying to?

Speaker 1 I'm a big Milky Way and Snickers.

Speaker 4 You have, you have weird candy and chocolate choice. Are you trying to put Kit Kat on the same level as a candy corn? I think that's illegal in like 40 days.

Speaker 1 By the way, candy corn is the greatest Halloween candy of all time. You know what else my other favorite candy is? You know those old like circus peanuts?

Speaker 1 Man. Dude, and also for Easter.
Again,

Speaker 4 you love peeps, right?

Speaker 1 No, no, no, no, no. Not a peep.
Oh, you like the egg? No. The camera eggs are good.

Speaker 1 No, the little marshmallow, like the things that look like circus peanuts, but now they're rabbits it's a peep that's a peep no no no the peep is like what's gooey that's no no no peep is like or peep is a marshmallow yeah no these aren't marshmallows these are like circus peanuts

Speaker 1 dude i'm not me you beat me yeah by the way yeah this is controversial i don't like no no no we're moving on i we have keep moving on i'm gonna pull up a picture though for everybody that's listening they understand this jerry just hasn't been like those

Speaker 1 So those are the

Speaker 1 circus peanuts. So there's the equivalent of those that come out for Easter are my favorite.
They're seasonal. All right, let's move on.

Speaker 4 Well, we're going to do one more. We're going to do one more.

Speaker 2 Yeah, we got to.

Speaker 4 We got throwback three still.

Speaker 4 Your young guns, start, bench, or cut. We got Jaden Daniels.
I think this is the hardest one. Jaden Daniels, C.J.
Stroud, Caleb Williams, your young guns. Who do you start? Who do you bench?

Speaker 4 Who do you cut?

Speaker 1 I think it's actually pretty easy. I'm starting C.J.
Stroud,

Speaker 1 balling last year, balling this year. We've seen it now over a period of time.
Weapons around him. Team is good.

Speaker 1 I'm benching Jaden Daniels, who, I mean, you could literally put him in the MVP race as a rookie. That's how great he's been.
Totally revitalized the commanders. And I'm cutting Caleb.

Speaker 1 Caleb's had his up and downs. Caleb, look, Chicago, I mean, they should have won that game last week.
They're playing good football. He's growing.
There's going to be some time. But I think that one,

Speaker 1 I'm going with C.J. CJ Stroud.
I mean, dude is just, I mean, rookie of the year last year, could be in the MVP talks this year. They're playing good football.

Speaker 4 So we differ here a little bit.

Speaker 4 I'm starting Jalen Daniels. Yeah.
It's Washington, Matt.

Speaker 1 We're talking about right now.

Speaker 4 This is the Washington Commanders.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but new coaching staff. Expectations.
New coaching staff.

Speaker 4 Love Dan Quinn.

Speaker 1 Helps a lot.

Speaker 4 I think Dan Quinn's a great coach.

Speaker 1 He's a great coach.

Speaker 4 What did we really expect from the commanders this year we hoped maybe jalen jaden daniels would be like okay

Speaker 4 like let's like show us the potential even he's not showing us the potential he's showing us a

Speaker 4 almost finished product and the product is amazing and the whole

Speaker 1 the great thing too is like he's elevated like if you look at their like terry mclaur is playing great they they don't have they don't have a bona fide superstar on the outside.

Speaker 1 They don't have a bona fide running back, but he's made everybody around them better. And again, Dan Quinn is outstanding.
He's been the hell of a coach his whole career. He's got another

Speaker 1 chance here in Washington. And I'm telling you, like they're, I don't think they're not like...

Speaker 1 This isn't like a fraud. That's not a facility.

Speaker 1 This is a pretty good team.

Speaker 1 And you have a guy like that who's a Lamar type who can just change the game every time he has the ball. Telling you, man, they've been fun to watch.
Well, obviously I'm going Stroud bench.

Speaker 4 Here's my thing with Stroud, who's awesome, by the way. This is not like a negative knock.
It's not his fault that he's in. I'm sorry.
He's in a pretty trash division. The division's over.

Speaker 1 I think Houston's goals are

Speaker 4 win, try and win easily, really do our best to stay healthy. Like they, they almost like without injuries, they cannot lose this division.
It's impossible. Right.
It's impossible.

Speaker 4 So I just don't think we've seen CJ Stroud. He's been great.
A lot of yards. Digs is out.
You know, Nico's out. So like, it's just hard.
I'm not there yet.

Speaker 4 I think by the end of the season, I will be there and start it. I would start him.
But just for right now, I just think that it's his situation. And then I'm cutting Caleb.
No offense to him.

Speaker 4 But I know the Bears are playing well, but they were getting shut out going into the fourth quarter, I think.

Speaker 4 It really was DeAndre Swift who came alive and turned it all around. So that's it.
That's fine. I figure we'll save the Halloween stuff now because we got throwback three coming up.

Speaker 4 Look, we've all been there busy Sunday watching football all day. It's hard to take the time and get a healthy meal in.

Now we've been hyping these guests up. It's easily the best-looking group of guests we've ever had.

Speaker 1 By far. Right, Matt? It's our beautiful lives.

Speaker 4 Bree, Josie. Josie, we had you on as a lawyer.
You know, we had lawyer Josie on, but now this is family, wife, mother, same with you, Brie, first time.

Speaker 4 Brie and I used to do a podcast a hundred years ago.

Speaker 1 Which I have totally. By the way, I have so many questions about that.
I know we don't have time today. I have so many questions about that.

Speaker 9 What was it called, though? I want to know what it was called.

Speaker 4 Do you remember what it was called, Brie?

Speaker 11 Bad for business.

Speaker 5 We started this, like, oh, here's my cat.

Speaker 4 Oh, God. Cat lady.

Speaker 11 Who Derry loves?

Speaker 11 We started this podcast, like, I don't even know. When do we start it?

Speaker 4 2012.

Speaker 11 2012.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay.

Speaker 11 When people would still be like, what's a podcast? And we just didn't even have the energy to explain it to some people, but we just, we did it for a couple of years for fun.

Speaker 12 You're ahead of your time.

Speaker 11 Yeah. I wish we stuck with it, though.
Who knows what?

Speaker 4 Josie, I caught our five-year-old at a birthday party last week bragging to a friend about the podcast. He was going to his little buddy going, yeah, it's called Throwbacks, Hudson.
It's a podcast.

Speaker 1 You should subscribe to it. I was like,

Speaker 1 was he wearing his hat? Did you give him his hat? He's so cute.

Speaker 4 He does have a hat. They were rocking a hat.
And speaking of hats and things we like to wear, it's Halloween, as we know. And I just want to start with Halloween used to be so different without kids.

Speaker 4 Do you guys even remember Halloween without kids? Because I do. We were in LA for it.
Brie, I guess we'll start with you.

Speaker 1 What do you remember from Halloween? I'm sorry. I just look like.
Brie, what is going on?

Speaker 11 You put me in an open room with cats.

Speaker 11 What were we talking about?

Speaker 1 Halloween before Halloween before kids.

Speaker 11 Oh, like the hot. Well, this is when we lived in California, too, in Hollywood.
So there was lots of parties, right?

Speaker 4 I feel like Halloween in LA is like sacred. LA loves Halloween

Speaker 4 because you have like some of the best makeup artists and wardrobe. Like you could get any costume you want.
LA goes hard for Halloween. I've never been a costume guy.

Speaker 1 What was your guys' best costume, couples costume in LA? When you guys know it,

Speaker 11 I was trying to think about that because, Jerry, you were such a Scrooge. Like, you never wanted to dress up.

Speaker 11 Like, I would have to organize it completely and then beg you to put the costume on. But the one year that you did want to wear it was when we did Say by the Bell.

Speaker 1 We did Zach Marr and Kelly Kapowski.

Speaker 4 She made me the big cell phone out of cardboard, blonde wig.

Speaker 4 That was my favorite too. Do you guys have a favorite, like, all-time couples costume before kids?

Speaker 1 i have a favorite i have a favorite but what is your what is yours i don't know we've never talked i think we're gonna i think we're gonna probably say the same thing wait say it at the same time okay one one two two three three care bears jim and carre oh

Speaker 1 wait what was yours

Speaker 9 when you were the monkey and i dressed up as jim carrey with the tutu i actually i really love that one i think i love the care bears one because it was our it was our first halloween together and we actually like made those costumes and i remember being in the kitchen and having a glass of wine and like making our care bears costume like

Speaker 1 could you imagine getting jerry to be dressed up as your care bear i'm trying to think about it i did jerry we actually haven't dressed up as anything else so i don't know what you're talking like

Speaker 1 that's our only costume that's our only costume that's not true but that's family stuff if it's if it's your only costume at least it was a really good one can you think of anything else in the 12 Halloweens that we've done?

Speaker 4 Dude, do you wear, do you wear Christmas pajamas on Christmas morning too?

Speaker 1 Or whatever?

Speaker 4 She demands that I wear Christmas.

Speaker 1 What is wrong with you?

Speaker 4 That's part of like in our wedding vows, it was like to have him to hold through better and worse Christmas pajamas on every Christmas.

Speaker 11 We actually

Speaker 11 talked about how big of a screwed you were on our podcast years ago.

Speaker 11 All the listeners created Bremus. Do you remember Bremus?

Speaker 4 Oh, Bremus for Christmas.

Speaker 11 They created a holiday for me where he has to do whatever.

Speaker 4 Well, Bremis, I guess, Josie and Bree. This is really why I wanted to have you on.
Matt, feel free to jump in if you got something else.

Speaker 4 Halloween's great, but here's what Halloween really signifies for me now that we're all married and we have beautiful families.

Speaker 4 Halloween is basically closing the door officially on like summer, fall, all because from here on out,

Speaker 4 it's just a

Speaker 4 bullet train to Christmas.

Speaker 9 It's go time.

Speaker 4 So, what is a fair and normal time to really start saying, hey, Matt, hey, Jerry, why don't you maybe go get the decorations out of the,

Speaker 4 what timeframe are we looking at here? Josie, I'm going to go to you first because Bri, I think I know your answer, but I want yours too.

Speaker 1 Well, I have a hard and fast rule.

Speaker 9 So Matt's always gone on Thanksgiving.

Speaker 9 So I was going to say it's kind of nice. It's not nice that we're not together on Thanksgiving, but it's nice knowing that I'm always going to be home in Miami for Thanksgiving.

Speaker 11 So So, like, that's kind of set.

Speaker 9 And when I come back, it's usually like December 1st. So, at that point, it's just like you said, it's just, it's a Go train.
It's too, too much is going on.

Speaker 9 So, I always decorate for Christmas before I leave and I schedule it.

Speaker 1 Does Matt help decorate?

Speaker 1 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Yeah, yeah, buddy.
That's a great question.

Speaker 4 Because let me, let me, he's tall. He can reach a lot of stuff.

Speaker 1 Well, first of all, I will say this.

Speaker 10 That's silly, Green. That was a silly question.

Speaker 1 Josie Josie decorates a house full. It's amazing.
It looks amazing. It's like a winter wonderland, Christmas decorations.
My mom, she passed away.

Speaker 1 So my mom gave, Josie took a lot of my mom's decorations. So there's just a lot of like, it's just a beautiful house when it's done.
So I will say that. It's amazing.

Speaker 1 But so this day, and Jerry, I texted you. There's a closet behind Josie right now.
There is an attic. That attic,

Speaker 1 that attic is about four feet tall, about 10 feet wide, and it's got like, you know, it's part of our roof. And I'm 6'5 ⁇ .
So I'm in there.

Speaker 1 It is not fun in there.

Speaker 1 We've all been in there. It is not fun.
There's nothing.

Speaker 11 So we need to send Jerry there.

Speaker 1 Just send me up there.

Speaker 1 Jerry, you could probably stand up in there. It'd be great.

Speaker 1 I'm just kidding.

Speaker 1 But, okay, Brie, to your point. She schedules a full day.
Like,

Speaker 1 okay, but then my point, and it's like, you need to take the kids out, go, and don't come back until this time, which is fine. But my thing always is, why does it take a full day?

Speaker 9 Honestly, this upsets me. Don't even go down this road.

Speaker 1 Uh-oh. Don't even know.

Speaker 9 Because actually, wait, we need what we need to do. What we need to do is have this throwbacks thing, like after everything is up.
And then I'm going to show you everything.

Speaker 9 And then you're going to tell me.

Speaker 9 You can do that in four hours.

Speaker 1 By the way, the bar behind you looks exactly like our bar, just a different blue color. Anyway, okay, that was, that was just

Speaker 1 for the audio listeners. Oh, for the audio listeners.

Speaker 1 No, my point is, and Brie, maybe this is, this is the question to you, too, is, is, I would help. She does not want my help because she's very meticulous, very like, it has to be this way, this way.

Speaker 1 I know where everything goes. And my thing is like, great.
And I love that about her, but it does take, I'm just like, and then it's like, I have to do this all day, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 1 I'm like, well, it shouldn't take you 10 hours. It would, I always say, I can knock this out in an hour and a half.
And she goes, yeah, right.

Speaker 4 I don't, Matt, I don't believe that for, I don't believe for one. Oh, I do.
I think it'd take you an hour and a half, and then you'd be out, you'd be begging Josie for help.

Speaker 4 Josie has November 15th marked in the calendar. If you had your way on this pod and I was just ready to negotiate and agree,

Speaker 4 what would you say is a time frame you'd like to see the decorations and the tree going up?

Speaker 1 Be fair. Be fair.
Be logical.

Speaker 1 Well, usually we host Thanksgiving, but we're not this year, which I'm really happy about.

Speaker 4 So, we don't need the tree for Thanksgiving.

Speaker 11 I like to just have the garland up for that and work on the tree afterwards.

Speaker 1 But this year,

Speaker 11 no, it's happening before Thanksgiving this year because then it just doesn't feel like it's up long enough. If we,

Speaker 4 you know, could we settle on November 15th and then just match the liners? We'll do a fan, like it'll be a throwbacks.

Speaker 1 By the way, that's in like a month. Yeah,

Speaker 4 that's in less than a month.

Speaker 1 That's in like three weeks in mind. Oh my gosh, it's three weeks.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I got a question for you two.

Speaker 1 I am a big Christmas music in the house fan. Big.

Speaker 1 Like Mariah.

Speaker 1 Josie can attest to this. I love Christmas music.
I'm not a year-round guy, but if I had my way, I probably would. When do you start playing Christmas music?

Speaker 1 For me. Or do you play Christmas?

Speaker 4 No, no. We like, look, I don't hate.
I know I'm like the grumpy Scrooge in the group. I don't hate on the Christmas music.

Speaker 4 For me, though, I just need to get past Thanksgiving. It's hard for me to be decking the halls and jingling the bells when we haven't had the turkey.
I need a little turkey and lions, cowboys.

Speaker 4 And also my birthday is usually on or about Thanksgiving. And then November 28th, you walk into a Starbucks.

Speaker 1 I'm down to hear Mariah. Yeah, I'm ready to go.

Speaker 4 I'm ready for the Christmas drinks. I'm ready for the music.
I get a little antsy when it's before Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 Brie?

Speaker 11 I mean, right now. Kaya's defrosting right now.

Speaker 1 Like she's going to be on, like, after Halloween. What are the rules of watching sports on holidays, Bri? Yeah, Bri.

Speaker 4 This is another part of the conversation.

Speaker 1 I'm genuinely curious about this one because

Speaker 4 Thanksgiving is always football. And then now Christmas, the NFL is throwing a new wrinkle at you, ladies.
Not that you care, because Brie, you like football. Not Josie.

Speaker 4 I don't know if you care about it or not. Not saying this is like women don't like football on sport and on holidays.
But usually Christmas was reserved for the NBA.

Speaker 4 There's basketball games on, kind of like background noise. You don't have to sit and lock in the basketball the way you do football.
But now the NFL wants in on the action.

Speaker 4 And Christmas is not on the Sunday this year. And there's some NFL football now on Christmas Day.

Speaker 4 And we do have this elite podcast.

Speaker 1 He's like, Jerry, you are not going down in the basement. We are hosting Christmas Day.

Speaker 4 We're hosting Christmas Day. There's going to be 40 Recanos here on Christmas

Speaker 11 But with that comes like the TVs being on and everyone, like it's a social thing, you know? I don't mind it.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I think one time I tried to put, remember we were hosting a, oh, it was, that's why it was our, I think it was our engagement party. We had an engagement party and I put on a UFC fight.
Remember that?

Speaker 1 And you were like, get that off. I was like, yeah, she was so mad.
Oh, yeah. No.
It's good background stuff. No, no, no.

Speaker 9 It wasn't, but it wasn't a background. Like, it wasn't that kind of party.
It wasn't like, oh, you're like hanging out and like hanging out with family, you know?

Speaker 9 Like it was like, it was, it was a very different kind of party.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but every guy that was there was like, hey, did you get the fight? Did you get the fight? And I'm like, no, but I'll get it. Let's put it on.

Speaker 1 And she was like, everybody is going to be sitting in there watching the fight and not being outside.

Speaker 4 You turned that off too. You probably paid 90 bucks for that fight.

Speaker 1 No, we kept it on.

Speaker 1 I don't remember that, but it's funny that you, I mean, now that you mentioned it, I do, but that was so long ago. All right.

Speaker 4 I have one last thing for you ladies before we go, because Matt and I, we, we do this on the show today.

Speaker 4 I'm not going to make you name three, and I didn't give you, I didn't prep you on this, but favorite Halloween/slash horror movie, scary movie, could be whatever, anyone that pops into your mind from your childhood or recent.

Speaker 4 Is there any horror or scary movie that stands out that you might throw on tonight after the kids go to sleep? Cause it's Halloween,

Speaker 9 absolutely not.

Speaker 1 No, I'm not a

Speaker 4 zero. The answer is zero.

Speaker 1 Horror movie. Oh, we did type a screen.
I was screaming one time.

Speaker 11 That's right.

Speaker 1 We did scream. I've never even seen scream.
I won't even. I've been trying to get Josie to

Speaker 1 cuddle with me for 12 years watching scary movies. And every literally for 12 years, not one time have we watched a scary movie together.
She refuses.

Speaker 9 Like when you say, What's your favorite Halloween movie? I think of two: Pocus, Pocus, Pocus. And Hotel Transylvania.

Speaker 1 That's animated.

Speaker 1 That's a good movie.

Speaker 9 It's animated. It's not horror.
It's not scary. But I will not do scary movies.
Wait, babe, what's that one that we saw with Sandra Bullock, the Blackbird or Black Something?

Speaker 4 Oh, Black Box, I think.

Speaker 1 Black Box, Black Box. Or Blackbird.
Yeah, something like that.

Speaker 1 It's not a scary movie.

Speaker 9 And I will not go to the bathroom by myself at night for a long time because I could hear somebody calling my name. I'm like, they're there.
I cannot do it.

Speaker 1 That's I will not. Bird box.
bird box

Speaker 1 bird box

Speaker 9 and that's the extent of my scary moviness i i just won't do it and um

Speaker 4 brie real quick what's the halloween candy with the peanut butter it's like a cup a blank peanut butter cup what how what do you call it did you ask them first before no i'm gonna i'm gonna ask you first

Speaker 11 listen to this josie go ahead reese's reese

Speaker 1 what's wrong with that it's Reese's.

Speaker 4 Wait, Josie, you ain't from the Midwest. That's a Midwest thing.

Speaker 1 How do you say Reese's Reese's, babe?

Speaker 9 It's Reese's. I say Reese's, but I do hear a lot of people say Reese's.

Speaker 11 Yeah, and like Reese's Pieces, it kind of goes to me.

Speaker 1 My argument is it's Reese's Pieces. Pieces is an actual word.

Speaker 4 They rhyme with Reese.

Speaker 1 Reese's PCs is in a real word. Reese's Pieces.

Speaker 11 Yeah, you're right. Reese's Pieces.

Speaker 1 All right. And then hold on.
Wait,

Speaker 1 Brie, what do you think of candy corn? Ew, gross.

Speaker 4 Thank you.

Speaker 1 Ferrara, is there?

Speaker 1 It's my favorite Halloween candy. Gross.

Speaker 4 Josie, you married a psycho. He likes candy corn.

Speaker 9 No, that's not the worst thing that he likes either.

Speaker 9 One of his favorite candies is circus peanuts.

Speaker 11 And that is good.

Speaker 1 I told you.

Speaker 1 Jerry didn't even know what they were. And I said, remember, like the Easter, the Easter bunnies that come out, I'll have a whole bag, dude.
Just a whole bag.

Speaker 4 It's one of the lamest lists of Halloween and candy thing. There's so many other things to choose from.
And you choose like the two things.

Speaker 1 Your number one is Kit Kat. I mean, like,

Speaker 9 Kit Kat is a wonderful candy.

Speaker 1 In the fridge.

Speaker 4 In the fridge.

Speaker 1 In the fridge.

Speaker 9 Kit Kats are great. And on ice cream, they make a fantastic frozen yogurt topping.
It's soft and creamy with the crunch.

Speaker 4 I can't thank you guys enough. I know you are very busy.
So let's just, we're ending now with, we are confirmed with you. November 15th.

Speaker 4 We are full on decorating, full-on. And all I'd like in return is I just get to watch football on Tuesday.
Thank you. Bye.

Speaker 1 Got the show. That's a wrap.

Speaker 4 All right. It's time for our throwback three this week.
Last week, Matt got to choose. He chose sports conspiracies.
This week, I get to choose. It's Halloween, so it's pretty easy to decide.

Speaker 4 We're going to do our throwback three horror/slash scary movies. Matt, have you had some time to think about this? So I have.
So

Speaker 1 I'm not a big scary movie guy. I feel like like I was when I was younger.
Sure. Um, I have a couple that you're going to appreciate this.

Speaker 1 And everybody that's listening that's about our age is going to appreciate this because there were a few that just haunted me forever when I was little, but used to always, I used to always watch them.

Speaker 1 Um, I'm going to go

Speaker 1 with number three.

Speaker 1 This one isn't as old. This one, I'm going to go with The Ring.
The Ring. 2002.

Speaker 1 I watched it once, and it was, you know, the girl with the black hair, the white sheet sheet over there.

Speaker 1 And the whole movie is just, it freaks me out. But, like, anytime a character gets on all fours and starts walking around like a spider, you know, like that looks like it's crawling after you.

Speaker 1 That shit, honestly, right now, literally, it's making my hair crawl up.

Speaker 4 You texted when you were looking at some things. Like, I'm just getting nervous.

Speaker 1 Looking, I was looking it up. I'm like, that one, I'm like, oh my God, that one just like, like, I refuse to ever watch that again.
So that's my, that's my number three.

Speaker 4 Okay, my number three is a movie that absolutely terrified me when i was a kid there was a remake of it in 2006 i'm not encouraging anyone to watch that one they could but the original you should watch and i'll tell you why it is a movie called when a stranger calls i don't know if you've ever seen the original matt yes what makes and now if you're a little on the younger side and you've never seen it i'm not going to like spoil it too much but what made it terrifying terrifying again it was made in 1979 by the way the remake was great great, too.

Speaker 4 The remake was solid, but the original was terrifying.

Speaker 1 It involves a lot of like calls and breathing.

Speaker 4 And eventually you find out one of the most famous lines, the call is coming from inside the house.

Speaker 4 Which you didn't even know you could do that back then. How did he do it? That movie terrified you.

Speaker 1 The remake is

Speaker 4 solid.

Speaker 1 It's good.

Speaker 1 God, how did I forget that one?

Speaker 2 That's a good one.

Speaker 1 That one is a great one. That one's a great one.
That one's definitely. Okay.
So

Speaker 1 I'm throwing two here because I want to get your opinion on this because you're going to, you're going to appreciate this.

Speaker 1 Children of the corn. Oh, I hate that.
I remember that. That's scary.
1984. Okay.
I was born in 83, but like, that was like my, my first introduction to that.

Speaker 1 I was probably like 10, 11, or 12 at like a friend's house and like just creepy. And then Pet Cemetery.
Yep. Yeah.

Speaker 4 So Children of the Corn, I watched in my buddy Frankie's basement when I was about the same age. I think I watched Underneath the Coffee Table.
Yeah, one of those projection TV things.

Speaker 4 I think I watched, I was covering my eyes throughout most of it. At Pet Cemetery, you saw that

Speaker 4 cat. There's a cat in this house.

Speaker 1 I didn't take you as a cat guy either.

Speaker 4 I didn't want to say anything. My wife came with two cats.
It was either leave her or marry her with two cats.

Speaker 1 Remember Pet Cemetery? Dude, like that one. Like, yeah, I know.

Speaker 4 All right.

Speaker 4 My number two, and this is where it gets, it gets here, but it's, it's an easy one.

Speaker 1 Uh, Psycho.

Speaker 4 Yeah. The original psycho.
And here's why this movie haunted me. I was like nine years old.
I begged my mom to let me rent it at the video store.

Speaker 4 And I think this was early on with parenting where, you know how we do natural consequences. A kid doesn't want to wear a jacket.
All right, go outside.

Speaker 4 And then if you're cold, you'll come get the jacket. Natural consequences.
I think she did that for me. Said, okay, you want to watch Psycho at nine years old? Fine.
Watch the whole thing terrify me.

Speaker 4 One day I come home from school and my mom wasn't home. Oh, she ran out.
I was alone, or I thought I was alone. I go to the bathroom to pee and we had like a shower curtain, like a pink curtain.

Speaker 4 I can still remember. And I heard scratching on the curtain.
We didn't have a cat. And I'm peeing.
And I'm thinking, what is that?

Speaker 4 My brother dressed up as like in women's clothes with a butcher knife and ripped open the curtain. I think I, I think I pissed all over.

Speaker 1 We talked about piss a lot this episode.

Speaker 2 I think I pissed all over.

Speaker 4 To this day, if I walked in your house, Matt, and I went to the bathroom, you had a shower curtain, I would move it to see if there was anyone in there.

Speaker 1 Just scarred you forever. For life.

Speaker 1 So good.

Speaker 1 That's one of the most iconic movie scenes of all time. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 What's your number one?

Speaker 1 Now we're here. Halloween's about the stars.

Speaker 1 It's in the same realm of when a stranger calls. That's a great one, man.
That one is, that's probably my top three.

Speaker 1 The Strangers. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 4 Liv Tyler. I don't like that one.

Speaker 1 Dude, that one, I've watched it a few. Anytime it comes on,

Speaker 1 honestly, it's probably playing now. Like, I'll watch it.

Speaker 1 And it's about the family that kind of taunts Liv Tyler and they're in that cabin up there and they're wearing those masks and they're just kind of playing around. If you haven't seen it, watch it.

Speaker 1 It is my, it is, for whatever reason, it's the one in the last, that was what, 2008?

Speaker 1 You say the last 15 years or so that just I can't get out of my, and it's, it's not like, like the ring is like all of that kind of stuff, like the exorcist, that stuff is just creepy and scary.

Speaker 1 And like, I don't like it. But the stranger like it's like a movie like it was real

Speaker 1 like it feels real yeah like yeah i think actually it might be based on real a true story of some very possible but the strangers to me is my number one all-time just

Speaker 1 it just gets me every time but by the way i actually like it like i'll i'll turn it on again

Speaker 1 if it's on if you're flipping not that we flip through channels anymore but like if you caught it like a quarter of the way through it just down for the rest it just depends on like am i in bed with the wife and we're like snuggling like hey let's watch this before i go to bed because she won't.

Speaker 1 If it's like two o'clock in the afternoon, like, nah, I'm not watching it.

Speaker 4 But, well, and look, we did, and look, there's some legacy ones. Like, we didn't say Halloween.

Speaker 1 We didn't say

Speaker 4 Elm Street, Friday the 13th. Those are iconic.
That could easily be one, two, and three. This is the personal list.

Speaker 4 I like that your honorable mention was that. My honorable mention at Blair Witch Project, which when that came out, that movie was the shit.
But my number one, and this is going to get some hate.

Speaker 4 People are going to criticize. Like, that's your number one.
Scream.

Speaker 4 Scream was, to me, the original scream.

Speaker 1 The original.

Speaker 4 Part one. Part one.
Now it's a franchise. Because I thought the mix of like part rom-com, part really scary.
That opening of Scream is terrifying.

Speaker 1 It was honestly that, like, that was a phenomenon. I mean, how many Scream movies do they make? The Scream mask became like the best Halloween costume of all time.

Speaker 4 And they borrowed from the When a Stranger Calls, like calling while being in that.

Speaker 4 i think wes craven openly said that he borrowed like you know that was inspired by when a stranger calls scream for me that voice great cast too

Speaker 1 what's your favorite scary movie like that was going on all the time they even made mock movies about like the waynes brothers made scary movie and that was a big part of it so that's our topic the original the original scream for sure i like that so i had uh i also had like chucky on there like i i'm thinking of the ones when we were younger like like nightmare on elm street was scary jason was always Friday the 13th was just always creepy.

Speaker 1 Saw, the Saw movies are

Speaker 1 just nasty. It, the Clown, the newer ones.

Speaker 1 You know what?

Speaker 4 To this day, I won't watch it.

Speaker 2 Because Clowns is like a

Speaker 1 clowns is weird.

Speaker 1 All right. Well, you got a bad history for clowns.

Speaker 4 Hit us up on Twitter or Instagram at Throwback Show. Tell us yours because I know we missed a bunch.
