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

All right, what's up, everybody?

God, it is a glorious day. The Dodgers are World Series champs.
I was actually at Game 5 in New York. The stadium was electric when they were up 5-0.
And then maybe the worst half inning in the history of baseball we've ever seen, just the airs. Anyway, it was awesome to get to celebrate that.
Just have a throwbacks episode that's coming out today. 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 bonus pod

on 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.

But stay tuned.

Enjoy the show.

Got a lot of great football talk.

Great story about Kevin Dillon in this one. Hope you guys enjoy.
I'm starting candy corn. Oh, God.
What? You are one of those? 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.
I don't even know if I could do this podcast anymore.

Dude, not only am I cutting your candy corn, I might just cut this out of the episode in general. Welcome to the show, everybody.

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 hit us up on all social social media platforms at throwback show as me and matt always will respond to you. I was going to say, talk a little smack to Jerry because he's just salty just this week.
He's just been salty. Am I officially a mark on social media? You could get me to respond with negativity and trolling my sports teams, and you'll get me.
For sure. You're so easy on there.
You're so easy. Ever since, obviously, 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 people talking shit, fans, stirring.
You like to stir the pot. You like to stir the pot is what I'm learning about you.
I like to stir the pot. I think it's the new version of get Off My Lawn, right? I don't think anymore it'll be me- Which, by the way, is great.
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. By the way, this is what happens when you, you know, you get into your mid-40s, and you're just, you give up playing pickup basketball.
You're just, you're a little salty 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. Listen hey I'm a keyboard warrior I don't want to fight anybody but I've been under the weather this week.
You've been traveling a lot Matt how many miles have you logged with Big know. 40,000 this year? My Delta Sky miles are just through the roof right now.
We should mention, we talked about dressing up. It is Halloween today.
Happy Halloween, everyone. Happy Halloween.
We talked about wearing costumes on the show, and then we realized no. We're not going to.
Well, we realized no, because I was like, I mean, we had a, we had this golf car 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, I was about to go full Donkey Kong costume on this, but I'm actually glad he said no.
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. Josie's joined us before, but she joined us as Josie Leiner, the attorney.
Yeah, now you're going to get, you're going to see the other side of her. Right.
And, you know, my wife, Bree, 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? Turns out it wasn't. I was going to say, it can't be great, but if you guys figured it out.
I fired her a bunch of times. I fired her a bunch of times.
I'm excited. I feel 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.
So I just think as dads, it's like, 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. I would love to hear Bree's non-negotiables.
Well, we're good. I think a lot of this when they come on later is going to be, I already have a negotiation that I need to.
So I'm using this forum and all our throwback listeners and viewers. 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. Question for you real quick.
And since we're talking about Halloween, do you know about getting booed? Not in the stadium, but in the arena. Yeah, we got booed.
Wait, what? Not in the stadium. I've been booed plenty of times in my life.
Yeah, we got booed the other night. So maybe this is the Brooklyn in me and now I live in the suburbs, but a couple of nights ago at like 9.30 at night, the doorbell rings and immediately I'm like, I need a weapon.
Who rings the doorbell at 9.30 at night? And I opened 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.
We didn't do that in Brooklyn. 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. It's so funny, man.
I think it's great because the kids love it. And we actually, we got booed this week.
Um, I think, yeah, I think Josie took the kids to boo a couple of kids the other day. Uh, I wasn't here, but it's kind of like elf on the shelf for Christmas.
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 and schools. And did you guys, you guys did like a hayride or something? I saw on your Instagram, you did something or Bree took the boys somewhere.
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 and Josie writes a letter every single morning to the kids. And it's like, you got to remember.
Then you don't remember. It's like, shit, man.
Like what happened to just waking up Christmas morning and being super pumped for the morning? Now there's like, this is what I'm going to ask the wives. Let's save it because they're coming.
Don't unload just yet. That just yet because i'm gonna that just got me fired up this is a big test for you and i we have to support each other through this journey yeah of our wives joining us i have a feeling i'm just gonna like i already know and i love my wife but she is cuban and i think she's just gonna rip me i'm gonna be honest it's gonna be 30 minutes of me just sitting here going uh-huh're in the dunk tank.
You're in the dunk tank. This is my life.
Oh, I love you. Also later, it's my turn this week for the throwback three.
I thought yours last week with conspiracy theory, sports conspiracies was awesome. Great reaction.
A lot of people very upset we didn't talk about the Michael Jordan gambling stuff. True.
We left that one off or whatever. But being that it's Halloween, I figure let's just keep it simple.
Let's go throwback three scary slash horror movies at the end of the show. Dude, my number one still gives me nightmares today.
Okay. And it's not, I'll save it, but it's not like your typical Halloween movie.
It's just a horror. It's just a scary movie that I think it's one of the best scary movies of all time.
Well, speaking of nightmares, earlier in the week, Monday, I lived through a nightmare, which some of you were calling the sports equinox. You guys need to retire this word.
I don't ever want to hear it again. There's people who sent me screenshots that they faded every New York team on Monday's Sports Equinox betting wise and hit.
I went 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. I've never been.
To great town. Great town.
Great setup. I know a lot of people do this on YouTube.
They will rate tailgates and they'll rate just the overall experience. For me, I give it a nine out of 10.
The only reason why it's not a 10 out of 10 is no phone service or Wi-Fi. To the dude 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.
We were in there, and you are forced to just watch the pillow fight that was Steelers-Giants for three and a half quarters. 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.
When you find out that you cannot put on the Yankees game, how pissed were you guys? It was pretty. It was because because I was just I was so impressed that these dudes brought the iPad I wouldn't have the courage to do that 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 giant side so I didn't pay for the tickets I was a guest I was a plus one but the real thing I wanted to tell you, two things.
I really feel like I swung on the jersey argument because Pittsburgh, obviously, they're wearing some throwbacks. There was a Randall L jersey, old school Plaxico jersey.
I saw the Randall L jersey was my favorite. A lot of Heinz Ward jerseys.
Just stellar jersey choices. This whole jersey thing, I'm not going to backtrack, but 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. So 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.
Like it is a football town, like blue collar, hardworking. You know, Coach Wanstead, Dave Wanstead, one of my great buddies is from Pittsburgh.
He never, I don't think he coached Cowboys, Miami, all those 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.
Cause they are just like, it's Pittsburgh. Yeah.
Like they're just, they're just tough nose. And that state, that's awesome.
I've played their preseason 07 or 06 and 07. It was awesome, man.
Like it's a great town it's a great town also low-key the pirate stadium i didn't go in it obviously because they're not playing but just where it's located it's right on the water right there yeah it's it's beautiful but the thing i really wanted to tell you about because two weeks ago you you opened up or maybe last week you opened up on the show we know you eat your boogers that's cool you talked about pissing your pants first of all i don't eat i don't eat my you used to eat your boogers when i was like four right so but then you told me that you revealed about what when players have to piss that they just get wrapped with a bunch of jackets you found yourself just you just found yourself watching the whole time and maybe i haven't been doing enough football games or had good did you see it did i see it i again 40 yard line facing the giants i am about 30 yards away from they basically have like the crates that hold helmets and different things they walk them in there they cover them with jackets the players walk out with a piss bag oh they peen a bag now in a bag oh i was just going on the field turf 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 and now so there was so there's no blue tent no blue tent they're just going i saw five players yeah what did you 30 feet in front of me no i get it i just i never just, I never noticed it. 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 to me like fake.

He pump faked and he's going to throw the bag of piss at him.

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?

Like you have no, cause you're not looking for it.

But now, and we're, and I'm sitting there.

I've, I'm literally looking. I would have been looking at you, but like, oh, there's Jerry Farrar right there.
Second row. He has no idea.
I'm taking a piss right now on the field. 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 like crazy.
I'm like, what do you, what do you expect us to do on the sideline? Now, if you got to, if you got to drop a deuce, like that's another thing. I don't know.
I don't know of anyone who had to drop a deuce during a game, but that's a whole other... Five players pissed 30 feet in front of me, and then I can't film this because that just is the creep.
That'd be the creep. That'd be the biggest creep of all time.
Yeah, that'd be a little weird. I was more so just like, I can't believe that.
You know what we call that? We call that? We call that Peter Gazing. We used to call that Peter G this time i mean 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 our locker room and anybody that was not on our football team that walked in we just start yelling p p p p peter gazer we're staying here okay this shows off the real off the rails already and going to do something, too, that we came up with for Halloween.
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. Okay? Is this on the set of Entourage? 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 somehow had in mind. 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.
We lost six years straight. So we're the Buffalo Bills of Outstanding Comedy Award.
But the Golden Globes 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. You can't drink.
Is it? Yeah, and if you go out for a commercial break, you're locked out of the theater until the commercial breaks back. It's very organized and technical.
The Golden Globes, you're at a table. It's like a ballroom.
You're at like a wedding 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 it's a lot of fun i still can't believe i've actually been to this one year okay we go and we always had to work the next day with a 6 a.m call time so no one ever got too you know banged out but commercial break our awards coming up up. So we know, alright, we gotta go.
A lot of guys had to go pee. We're gonna go use the bathroom and come back.
We have to be at the table for the awards. 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.
I shit you not, 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.
And Kevin Dillon goes, you might want to cover up, boys. We got a peeker walking in.
Connolly walks in. He was devastated.
It was Connolly? It was Connolly. He was making fun of Connelly.
All right. So a couple of things that just stood out from the NFL in week eight that is still going on that we have to talk about.
Because every week I watch football and I just think of 15 things I want to ask you. Bradley Bozeman comes to the defense of Justin Herbert.
Fucking love that shit. And what I saw, 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, 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? And you have to come to the defense, right? Yeah, no, I saw obviously the highlight of it. And for the defensive player, again, nasty, dirty.
You know, he's got a bum ankle, all those things. That was blatant.
Like there's cheap shots. There's some that are blatant.
And there's some that are like, dirty, you know, he's got a bum ankle, all those, all those things that, that was blatant. Like there's, there's some, there's some, there's cheap shots.
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 get it.
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.
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.
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.
You love to see that. That's, that's, that's, that's the lineman's job.
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 another level, that's what you get.
I loved it. I love that stuff, man.
Obviously, the play was dirty. I hate that.
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. 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.
And by the way, would have went to blows with that dude if he didn't get him off. I love it, man.
Terrible play, but I love the fact that, I mean, that's what you do. And that's something that feels like it could bring a team together.
I'm also after- Well, it also just shows, it just shows too, like Harbaugh, like Harbaugh's a football guy. It's a mentality.
He's a little weird. He's the mentality.

Good teams, and we talk about this in college a lot,

but it does translate in the NFL.

Good teams take on the personality of their head coach.

He's a football guy.

He's tough as nails.

This Chargers team is tough as nails, man.

They weren't like that the last couple years,

but you can see that.

You can say, well, it's just one play,

but that's the personality of this team. I love that, man.
Good on him.

So after living through the terrible sports equinox earlier in the week where every single New York team got smacked- By the way, after we were praising the New York of having the greatest

time to be a New York fan. Sorry, keep going.
Yeah. And your reverse jinx with Swisher and I just letting us just do Yankee porn for 30 minutes, it 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? Well, I feel like being that I watched the Captain Jeter documentary 400 times, I just feel like you got to balance things out. 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, 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.
And isn't it crazy? And they were just beaming. Listening to Clemens and Pedro just talk about who you want me to get tonight, who you want me to take out tonight.
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. 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, like, hating each other.
That fight, that Veritech fight, where we kind of got the best of A-Rod. Brought them together.
It's so—this is why I love sports. And people, like—people always ask, like, is momentum real? Is there—is there—like there like i fully it comes in a lot of different ways um and that just reminded me of like what quique hernandez said uh 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 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 daughters like the chemistry they play together 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 and maybe this incident galvanizes the team maybe it doesn 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,

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.

And they, 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 today start in training camp hey and especially in training camp when it gets a little monotonous and you're going against each other like we have coaches be like hey and it'd be staged but two guys align and d-line hey let's like let's get a little fight going let's see like we need we need a little the whistle stuff. We just need a little energy for this team.
And it just, for whatever reason, man, it gets you going. I wish actors could do that.
Hey, go up and fucking slap Adrian in the back of the head. 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. I think, by the way, I think your boy was at- He was at Texas.
He was at Texas-Georgia game. Listen.
Honestly, 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? Well, he lives in Texas now.
All right, well, there you go. He doesas and uh he's he's gone to some sporting events over the years my my favorite grenier sports memory was when we we presented an award at the espies 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 like who do i say hideki matsumi so somewhere there's video oh yeah he went hideki matsumi i think he said when he mispronounces his name yeah he doesn't strike me as a big sports sports guy no but he's a good hang and also the comeback on netflix is honorable mention from my horror movie later in the throwback three because i don't know why i'm doing that to ourself also Also something else, Matt, I wanted to ask you when I was watching football, I saw Richardson pulled himself out of the game.
And now a few days ago, Colts basically came out and benched him. And I'm just confused where this goes now and the stuff that's happening with some of these really, really high quarterback draft picks.
Well, yeah, I've never seen anything like that in the history of football, especially at that position. And this kid, obviously, a great kid.
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.
He's been hurt a lot in his young career. And then just in that moment, it's one play, right? Hey, I'm tapping out.
I'm too tired to go. But what that play, it's so much bigger than that because you're a franchise quarterback.
You're a top five pick. You're making millions of dollars.
You're supposed to, 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 a Super Bowl. 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.
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. But you play for your team, you tough it out, you do everything you can to stay on the field.
That's like the number one rule in football. So 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 being benched and going in a different direction is not, it's not surprising to me, Jerry.
It's just not. It's just, you can't do that.
It's like those things that's a no-no in sports. Bro, you're a grown man, get in shape, work out.
And don't say it to the media. Lamar Jackson runs every down.
Kyler Murray runs a lot. I don't know.
It's a perception thing. It's bad.
And now they're going in a different direction. 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.

I'm not saying could this be it

because everyone rushes to judgment,

but is this something where,

all right, we'll just reset

and let him get another off season.

Let him watch flat. Essentially, are we getting the sitting your quarterback for a year or two in a new way? Is this the new way to do it? Where you test the water, see what they got.
And if you don't like what you're seeing, you pull them. Hopefully, you have a veteran Flacco-like quarterback to sort of lead.
Because that's what's happening. You're doing it almost a little backward.
I always say this. 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 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. 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, we just don't know.
Uh, 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. Maybe AR just needs a little time to like, Hey, let's get you out of the spotlight.
Let's work. Let's grow.
Let's learn from Joe and let's, let's kind of regroup. 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. And usually when decisions are made like this, 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.
He's been hurt a ton. You know what I mean? And it's not like they got good players over there.
They got a great running back. They got some good receivers.
Tell you what, 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.
There's a lot of raw athleticism that not a lot of players have i'll tell you what too it makes me absolutely terrified for every giant fan browns fan whoever was like oh yeah you're still holding on to danny dimes because it's terrifying drafting a quarterback it's terrifying it is so if you have someone like yeah danny dimes they'll move on i'm sure but it terrifying. And this draft particularly is going to be, it's just who knows? I can't wait to talk draft with you because it's going to be.
And we're going to be drafting the quarterback for the first time in five years, you would imagine. I'd imagine, yeah.
All this stuff just makes me think that it's impossible. And it really, so much luck has to factor in.
you just have genius level scouts and genius level organization who just 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 thing I'll say to this is I had actually talked to Pete Carroll. We caught up, and I'm not going to say who we were talking about, but we were just talking about quarterbacks.
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 just have a rare trait that you feel like, okay, we've seen enough, like we can mold this. Mahomes had it.
Mahomes' arm talent out of Texas Tech was through the roof. Now, and Andy Reid guarantee was like, I can make this guy great because I know, I see that.
Josh Allen was 6'5", 240, threw the ball, 90 yards, could run, played at a small town, but there was enough there. Lamar is a freak.
Lamar's rare. So there's rare players like that.
And 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, can't forget that. His small sample size is kind of working against him.
But that's the thing. And that's when drafting a first-round quarterback now, especially with the way the game has changed, do they have something that just sets them apart that you feel like you can develop? And I think there's a lot of guys that they just don't now.
They're just guys. And I think that's what we've seen with some of these first rounders the last couple of years.
So yeah. Well, still rooting for Anthony Richardson.
Hopefully he gets another crack at it. Young kid.
He's got, he's got, he's got time. 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. I'm worried because I think we might be the same one.
No, there's no way. 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. I love the saucy nugs.
They're

so good. 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. Matt, do you want me to go first do you want to go first uh i mean whatever what do you want i'm gonna go first i'm gonna throw it down first because just in case you're not gonna have the same one there's no way oh mine's a group oh then we're not gonna have the same one but how do you not say you can't get enough sauce moment of the week is not james winston.
How do you like NFL football 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 Winston run for as long as it lasts.
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. Who knows? Anything could happen with him.
We need to get him on the pod. He's like in my top five list of people I want to get on the pod quickly to talk to.
He's probably like three or four. I really want to talk to him.
I just think we'd have a lot of good things to say. No, he's the best, man.
Like he's like, there was one quote where one of his teammates it was like um he says the play like what what was a quote could we 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 like it was something it was some crazy like he has to tell you a secret like he says the play. He has to tell you a secret.
Guys, we're like this. This is what we're going to do.
And you see it. You see it sometimes on the cameras.
It is so. That's how I get my kids to sit down and eat breakfast.
Guys, here's what we're going to do. By the way, there's nothing better.
There's nothing better than being in a huddle and calling a play. right? Because all the eyes are on you.

That's a cool feeling of a quarterback

because it's like this is your huddle.

There is no one that commands a huddle

in his own fashion than Jameis Winston, dude.

Well, that's mine.

He's not even a specific sauce.

He's all the sauces mixed together.

So let's hear yours.

All right.

So I'm mixing a lot of sauces together. I'm going my tight ends on National Tight Ends Day.
Yeah. That's the saucy nugs of the week.
Okay. Listen to this for a second.
There were a combined 183 catches. And for guys that play fantasy football like myself, I'm in like seven leagues, okay? 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.
These guys deem their own holiday because they weren't getting

enough love. They do the camp in the off season, 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.
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 of the day. You know, there was a, yeah, I definitely.
We've never seen it before. It was the biggest tight end day in the history of the NFL or close to it.
I put a lot of tight ends in some parlays. The one that stuck out, first of all, Kyle Pitts, Kirk Cousins, we got to enjoy because he's somehow now, you could start Kyle Pitts every week now in fantasy.
Well, trust me, I have him in a league that I'm like... 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. I mean, Cade Otten stepping up in Evans and Godwin's access.
Exactly. You knew that was...
Yeah, yeah. Baker's still doing his thing.
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 you. Yes, we do.
The wives will be joining us shortly. I heard someone just pulled for the garage.
So it's on. Okay, it's March Madness.

All right. Welcome back, everybody.
It is time to crown them. Brought to you by my friends at DraftKings.
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. I am taking Pitt plus the points.
We don't know yet if they're starting quarterback. Eli Holstein is playing.
The backup has a lot of, obviously, experience from last week. This, to me, is a game strength on strength.
You got SMU with the number one rushing offense in the ACC going up against Pitt and the number two rushing defense. 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 them game of the week. We have another big game, obviously Ohio State, Penn State.
The weekend slate of games, guys, is jam-packed. Remember to use the promo code throwbacks.

NFL Halloween edition. Start, bench, cut.
What do we got, buddy? So we all love lists. I think 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. This is inspired by my 16-year-old nephew 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.
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 we have some halloween centric ones i figure we rip through these no right or wrong answers okay all right 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 all right is this i'm gonna be a typical 16-year-old. I'm going to be like, okay, is this regular season or is this playoffs? This is right now.
Is this right now? This is in the moment. All right.
Right now, I'm starting Lamar Jackson. I'm benching Josh Allen, and I'm cutting Patty Mahomes.
And Matt turns into a 16-year-old high school kid. But that's right now.
That's what I'm saying. Obviously that's, I'm flipping the script on all three of those.
If it's a playoff game, but I hear that. Okay.
I got Josh Allen one because I'm starting Josh Allen. He's the MVP of the league so far.
I'm sorry. Lamar might be the MVP, but we can keep going.
I'm sorry. This is the best Josh Allen has played in his career.
He's balling. Yeah.
I think he threw his first interception last week, and we're on week eight. Are we both benching Patty? No.
I mean, 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.
My whole argument with my 16-year-old nephew was not a whole lot of weapons over there. The guy just got de-hopped.

They're undefeated.

I know the defense is elite.

I just feel like Patrick Mahomes is like playing with his food to the playoffs.

You're cutting the NFL MVP frontrunner again, Lamar?

I love Lamar Jackson.

Love him.

But go talk to some Ravens fans about how those leads are evaporating.

I'm not saying that's on him.

It's on the defense too.

The Ravens have lost too many goofy games already. They've lost two games.
What are they, six and two? No, I think they lost three games. Either way, you should not.
The Browns, that shouldn't have happened. I know it was a motivated team.
For that, this week, I'm cutting it. We're going to move on.
Let's just go in order here. We're going to go the treats.
We're going to go little Halloween edition. We're going to go candy.
I have a strong opinion on Halloween candy. Okay, me too.
Start, bench, cut, sour patch, kids, chocolate, which could mean anything, or starburst. All right, for me, chocolate starts, but I do think that, yeah, chocolate is a little too- I mean, are we going Snickers? Are we going Milky Way? Yeah, well, I think we'll get- You know what? Let's just do a- How about this? Let's take chocolates off.
We'll do a whole separate chocolate thing. So let's do Sour Patch Kids, Starburst.
I'll throw in- Did you like Nerds as a kid? No Nerds? That's fine. My favorite Halloween candy is not even on there.
All right, so do your number one, your favorite,

and then do the Sour Patch and Starburst after that.

Okay.

All right, so I'm starting candy corn.

Oh, God.

What? I know.

I know.

You are one of those?

I am one of them.

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.
So I would start that. Now, Sour Patch Kids to me is like my all-time also favorite.
So I'm going to start candy corn. I'm going to bench Sour Patch Kids, and I'm going to cut Starburst.
I like Starburst, but in that trio, big chocolate. I love Tootsie Rolls, little Tootsie Rolls.
Well, we'll get into the chocolate category. I don't even know if I could do this podcast anymore.
Dude, I know. I tweeted that out like last year and people just ripped me.
I'm like, dude, I love candy corn. You're going to get ripped again.
I'm starting Starburst. You give me a yellow or a red starburst.
in pink orange is terrible but i'm benching sour patch kids not like that's a mood thing for me sometimes yes sometimes not only am i cutting your candy corn i i might just just cut this out of the episode in general i this is another i'm gonna is where does candy corn rank on everybody's Halloween candy?

What's the lowest number possible?

It's actually more split than you would think.

I think people.

No way.

Yeah.

This is our poll then.

We got our poll.

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.

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 sam darnold who still has no nickname is not going to get one baker mayfield without his two best receivers still putting up numbers and a guy i think should get some league mvp consideration shouldn't win jared goff i mean he's not bouncing may jared goff almost let him to super bowl last year so i'm gonna go i mean i'm starting jared goff and i love i love all these guys i love my boy bake but i'm starting jared goff this dude when it's all said and done went to a super bowl with the rams right lost was close and now it's sort of revived this whole Detroit Lions organization with him and his head coach. Was close a year ago.
Arguably the best team in football right now. I'm starting.
I'm starting my boy, Jared Goff, Cal Bears finest. I'm going to bench Baker.
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. They're good.
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- I have the same exact list, so I'm not going to- You hit it on the head because I want to get to a much more important category. Let's talk about the chocolates.
You mentioned it. You're right.
Chocolate can't just be a candy. It needs its own category.
I'm not a big chocolate guy. Really? No, I'll do this for Halloween.
Did you just say the three? Well, here's the three because one of these things is going to come up. What do you got? I got Kit Kat, Snickers, or Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, which everyone who says Reese's, it's such a Midwestern thing.
You're wrong. It's not Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.
It's Reese's. That's why there's an apostrophe there.
What do you got? If you have trouble, I can go. Yeah, you go.
The Kit Kat is number one for me, but it's very specific. I'm starting Kit Kat, but you got to put it in the fridge.
It's got to be cold. You got to have a cold Kit Kat.
That to me elevates it to starter level. Then I'm going to bench Reese's peanut butter cups.
Still love it though. It could easily have been a starter.
A little bit of of a quarterback controversy almost. And then, yeah, I'm cutting Snickers.
Great campaigns over the years. Not like a hater, but just doesn't crack the top for me.
Snickers is borderline greatest candy of all time. Greatest candy of all time.
I'm going to start Snickers. I'm not a huge chocolate guy.
I'm going to say that again. I'm going to start Snickers.

I am going to 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. Kit Kat, I don't get the allure.
I don't get the allure of Kit Kats. Don't care.
Don't need it in my life. Don't need it frozen or cold.
I could do away with Kit Kat

have you

viewed candy corn

like don't care don't need it in my life don't need it frozen or cold uh i could do away with kitkat probably how have you view candy corn i don't even hate kitkat i just it's 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 it doesn't move the knee three musketeers used to be my favorite as a kid are Are you trying to... I'm a big Milky Way and Snickers.
You have weird candy and chocolate toys. Are you trying to put Kit Kat on the same level as a candy corn? I think that's illegal in like 48 states.
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? Matt.
Dude, and also for Easter. Again, I- You love peeps, right? No, no, no, no.
Not a peep. Oh, you like the egg? No, the camera eggs are good.
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 a marshmallow. No, peep is a marshmallow.
Yeah, no, these aren't marshmallows. These are like circus peanuts.

You got me. You beat me.

By the way, yeah.

This is controversial. I don't like it.

No, no, no. We're moving on.

We have one left.

I'm going to pull up a picture, though.

For everybody that's listening, they understand this.

Jerry just hasn't been like those.

So those are 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.

Well, we're going to do one more.

We got throwback three still.

Your young guns, start, bench, or cut.

We got Jaden Daniels.

I think this is the hardest one.

Jaden Daniels, CJ Stroud, Caleb Williams. Your young guns.
Who do you start? Who do you bench? Who do you cut? I think it's actually pretty easy. I'm starting CJ Stroud.
Balling last year. Balling this year.
We've seen it now over a period of time. Weapons around him.
Team is good. 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. 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, I'm going with 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.
So we differ here a little bit. I'm starting Jalen Daniels.
It's Washington, Matt. We're talking about right now.
This is the Washington Commanders. Yeah, but new coaching staff.
Love Dan Quinn. Helps a lot.
I think Dan Quinn's a great coach. He's a great coach.
What did we really expect from the Commanders this year? We hoped maybe Jalen Daniels would be like, okay. Like, let's show us the potential even.
He's not showing us the potential. He's showing us an almost finished product.
And the product is amazing. And the whole team.
The great thing too is like he's elevated. If you look at their, like Terry McLaurin is playing great.
They don't have a bona fide superstar on the outside. 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

a hell of a coach his whole career. He's got another

chance here in

Washington. And I'm telling you,

I don't think they're not like...

This isn't like a fraud.

This is not a facility. This is a

pretty good team.

And you have a guy like that who's who's a lamar type who can just change the game every time he has the ball tony man they've been fun to watch well obviously i'm going stroud bench here's my thing with stroud who's awesome by the way this is not like a negative's not his fault that he's in, I'm sorry, he's in a pretty trash division. The division's over.
I think Houston's goals are win, try and win easily, really do our best to stay healthy. Like they almost, like without injuries, they cannot lose this division.
It's impossible. It's impossible.
So I just don't think we've seen cj stride 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 i think by the end of the season i will be there and start 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 but i know any the bears are playing, but they were getting shut out going into the fourth quarter, I think.

And it really was DeAndre Swift who came alive

and turned it all around.

So that's it.

I figure we'll save the Halloween stuff now

It's our beautiful lives.

Brie, Josie.

Josie, we had you on as a lawyer.

We had lawyer Josie on, but now this is family, wife, mother.

Same with you, Brie, first time.

Brie and I used to do a podcast 100 years ago.

Oh, really? By the way, I have so many questions about that. years ago which i have totally by the way i have so many questions about that i don't want to have time today i have so many questions about that what was it called though i want to know what it was do you remember what it was called brie bad for business we started this like oh here's my cat oh god cat lady who jerry loves um we started this podcast like i don't even we start it? 2012.
2012. Oh, okay.
And 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.
You're ahead of your time. Yeah.
I wish we would stuck with it though. Who knows what would have happened? 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 you should listen to it I was like was he wearing his hat did you give him his hat 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 as we know.
And I just want to start with,

Halloween used to be so different without kids.

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.

What do you remember from Halloween?

I'm sorry, I just look like that.

Brie, what is going on?

Wait, can you get this cat out of there?

You put me in an open room with cats.

What were we talking about? Halloweeneen before halloween before kids oh like the well this is when we lived in california too in hollywood so there was lots of parties right i feel like halloween in la is like sacred la loves halloween 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. What was your guys' best costume, couples costume in LA when you guys were hitting the town? I was trying to think about that because, Jerry, you were such a scrooge.
You never wanted to dress up. 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 Zach we did Zach Mars Kelly Kapowski she made me the big cell phone out of cardboard blonde wig uh that that was my favorite too do you guys have a favorite like all-time couples costume before kids I have a I have but what is yours? I don't know.
We've never talked about this. I think we're going to probably say the same thing.
Wait, say it at the same time. Okay.
One, two, three. Care Bears.
Jim and Carrie. Oh.
Wait, what was yours? When you were the monkey and I dressed up as Jim Carrey with the 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 brie could you imagine getting jerry to be up as a Care Bear? I'm trying to think about it.

I did. Jerry, we actually haven't dressed up as anything else.

I don't know what you're talking about.

That's our only costume?

That's our only costume.

That's not true. Besides family stuff.

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? do you wear do you wear christmas pajamas on christmas morning too she demands that i wear christmas what is wrong with you that's part of like in our wedding vows it was like to having to hold through better and worse christmas pajamas on every christmas we actually talked about how big of a screwed you were on our podcast years ago. And all the listeners created Bremis.
Do you remember Bremis? Oh, Bremis for Christmas. They created a holiday for me where he has to do whatever.
Well, 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.
Halloween's great. great but here's what Halloween really signifies for me now that we're all married and we have beautiful families Halloween is basically closing the door officially on like summer fall all because from here on out it's just it's just a bullet train to Christmas it's time.
So what is a fair and normal time to really start saying, hey, Matt, Jerry, why don't you maybe go get the decorations out of the – what time frame are we looking at here? Josie, I'm going to go to you first because, Bree, I think I know your answer, but I want yours too. Well, I have a hard and fast rule.
So Matt's always gone on Thanksgiving. So I was going was gonna 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 so like that's kind of set and when i come back it's usually like december 1st so at that point it's just like said, it's just it's a go train.

It's too too much is going on.

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

Does Matt help?

decorate? Wait, wait, wait.

That's a great question.

He's tall. He can reach a lot of stuff.

First of all, I will say this.

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

Josie decorates a house

full. It's amazing.
It looks amazing.

It's like a winter wonderland, Christmas decorations. My mom, she passed away.
So my mom gave my, 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.
But so this day, and Jerry, I texted you, there's a closet behind Josie right now. There is an attic, that attic, that attic, that attic is about four feet tall, about 10 feet wide.
And it's got like, you know, it's, it's part of a roof and I'm six five. So I'm in there.
It is, it is not fun in there. We've all been in, we've all been in there.
It is not fun. There's not that big of a deal for me, Matt.
Getting the boxes through the door. So we need to send Jerry there.
Just send me up there. Jerry, you could probably stand up in there.
It'd be great. I'm just kidding.
But, okay, Brie, to your point, she schedules a full day. I think it's a full day.
It's a full day. Okay, but then my point, and it's like you need to take the kids kids out and go and don't come back until this time, which is fine.
But my thing always is, why does it take a full day? If it was me. Honestly, this upsets me.
Don't even go down this road. Uh-oh.
If it was me. Because actually, wait, 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.
And and then you're going to tell me, okay, Josie, you can do that in four hours. By the way, the bar behind you looks exactly like our bar, just a different blue color.
Anyway, okay, that was just, yeah, doesn't it? For the audio listeners. Oh, for the audio listeners.
No, my point is, and Brie, maybe this is the question to you too, 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.
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. I'm like, well, it shouldn't take you 10 hours.
I always say I can knock this out in an hour and a half and she goes yeah

right I don't believe that for

I don't believe for one oh I do

I think it would take you an hour and a half and then you'd be

begging Josie for help

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

what would you say is a

time frame you'd like to see the

decorations in the tree going up

be fair be fair be logical

Thank you. negotiate and agree, what would you say is a time frame you'd like to see the decorations and the tree going up? Be fair.
Be fair. Be logical.
We usually we host Thanksgiving, but we're not this year, which I'm really happy about. So we don't need the tree for Thanksgiving.
I like to just have the garland up for that and work on the tree afterwards. But this year, no, it's happening before Thanksgiving this year because then it just doesn't feel like it's up long enough.
If we, you know. Can we settle on November 15th and then just match the lineups? We'll do a fit, like it'll be a throwback.
By the way, that's in like a month. Yeah, I know.
That's in less than a month. That's in like three weeks.
Oh my gosh, it's three weeks. Yeah.
Well, I got a question for you two. I am a big Christmas music in the house fan.
Big. Like Mariah.
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? For me.
Or do you play play Christmas? No, no. We like, look, I don't hate, I know I'm, I'm like the grumpy Scrooge in the group.
I don't hate on the Christmas music. Uh, for me though, I just need to get past Thanksgiving.
I, 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, and also my birthday is usually on or about Thanksgiving.
And then November 28th, you walk into a Starbucks, I'm down to hear Mariah. Yeah, I'm ready to go.
I'm ready for the Christmas drinks. I'm ready for the music.
I get a little antsy when it's before Thanksgiving. Bri? I mean, Mariah's defrosting right now.
Like, she's going to be on, like, after Halloween. What are the rules of watching sports on holidays, Bree? Yeah, Bree.
This is another part of the conversation. I'm genuinely curious about this one because Thanksgiving's always football.
And then now Christmas, the NFL is throwing a new wrinkle at you ladies. Not that you care because, you like football.
Not Josie I don't know if you care about it or not. Not saying this is like women don't like football on holidays but usually Christmas was reserved for the NBA.
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.
Christmas is not on a Sunday this year, and there's some NFL football now on Christmas Day. And we do have this elite podcast to worry about now.
Jerry, you are not going down in the basement. We're hosting Christmas Day.
We're hosting Christmas Day. There's going to be 40 Reconos here on Christmas Day.
But with that comes like the TVs being on and everyone. Like it's a social thing, you know? I don't mind it.
Yeah. 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? And you were like, get off i was like yeah she was so mad oh yeah no it's good background stuff no no 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 like it was like it was it was a very different kind of party yeah 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.

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

You turn that off to you probably paid 90 bucks for that fight.

No, we kept it on. 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.

I have one last thing for you ladies before we go, because Matt and I we we do this on the show today I'm not going to make you name three and I didn't give you and 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 is there any horror or scary movie that stands out that you might throw on tonight after the kids go to sleep because it's Halloween? Absolutely not. No.
I'm not a... Zero.
The answer is zero. Oh, we dropped off his scream one time.
That's right. We did scream.
I've never even seen scream. I've been trying to get Josie to cuddle with me for 12 years watching scary movies.
And literally for 12 years, not one time have we watched a scary movie together. She refuses.
Like when you say, what's your favorite Halloween movie? I think of two. Focus, focus.
And Hotel Transylvania. That's animated.
That's a good movie. 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? Black Box, I think.
Black Box. Yeah, something like that.
It's not even a scary movie. 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.
That's Bird Box. Bird Box.
Bird Box. It was called Bird Box.
And that's the extent of my scary movie-ness. I just won't do it.
And Bree, real quick, what's the Halloween candy with the peanut butter? It's like a cup, a blank peanut butter cup. What do you call it? Did you ask them first? No, I'm going to ask you first.
Listen to this, Josie. Go ahead.
Reese's. Reese's.
What's wrong with that? It's Reese's. Wait, Josie, you ain't from the midwest That's a midwest thing How do you say Reese's babe? I say Reese's but I do hear a lot of people say Reese's Yeah and like Reese's Pieces It kind of goes My argument is it's Reese's Pieces Pieces is an actual word They rhyme with Reese Reese's Pieces isn't a real thing.
Yeah, you're right. Reese's pieces.
All right. Hold on.
Wait, Brie, what do you think of candy corn? Ew, gross. Thank you.
Ferrars are out on candy corn. It's my favorite Halloween candy.
Gross. Josie, you married a psycho.
He likes candy corn. No, that's not the worst thing that he likes either um his one of his favorite candies is um circus peanuts and that is that earlier i told you jerry didn't even know what they were and i said like the easter the easter bunnies that come out i'll have a whole bag dude just a whole lot 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.
Your number one is Kit Kat. I mean, come on.
Kit Kat is a wonderful candy. In the fridge, Josie.
In the fridge. In the fridge, specifically.
Kit Kats are great. And on ice cream, they make a fantastic frozen yogurt topping.
It's soft and creamy with the crunch. I can't thank you guys enough.
I're very busy so let's just we're ending now with we are confirmed with you november 15th we are full-on decorating full-on and all i'd like in return is i just get to watch football thank you bye 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. 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 I'm not a big scary movie guy.
I feel like I was when I was younger. Sure.
I have a couple that you're going to appreciate this. 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 I used to always watch them.
I'm going to go with number three. This one isn't as old.
This one, I'm going to go with The Ring. The Ring.
2002. I watched it once and it was, you know, the girl with the black hair, the white sheet over there.
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 look yeah i'm not calling after you that shit honestly right now literally it's making my hair crawl up you texted when you were looking at some things like i'm just getting nervous 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, 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 too.
The remake was solid, but the original was terrifying. It involves a lot of like calls and breathing.
And eventually you find out one of the most famous lines the call is coming from inside the house which you didn't even know you could do that back then how did he do it that movie terrified me so the remake is solid it's good it god how did i forget that one that's a good one that one is a great one that one's a great one that one's okay a great one. That one's a great one.
That one's definitely, okay.

So I'm throwing two here

because I want to get your opinion on this

because you're going to appreciate this.

Children of the Corn.

Oh, I remember that back in the day.

1984, okay, I was born in 83,

but like that was like my first introduction

that I was probably like 10, 11 or 12 at like a friend's house and like just creepy. And then pet cemetery.
Yep. Yeah.
So children of the corn, I watched in my buddy Frankie's basement when I was about the same age. I think I watched it underneath the coffee table.
I had one of those projection TV things. I think I watched, I was covering my eyes throughout most of it at pet cemetery.
You saw, you saw that cat, there's a cat in this house. By the way, I didn't take you as a cat guy either, but I didn't want to say anything.
My wife came with two cats. It was either leave her or marry her with two cats.
Remember Pet Sematary? Do you like that? Like, yeah, I know. My number two, and this is where it gets here, but it's an easy one, Psycho.
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.
And I think this was early on in parenting where, you know how we do natural consequences? The kid doesn't want to wear a jacket. All right, go outside.
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.
One day I come home from school and my mom wasn't home. 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.
I can still remember. And I heard scratching on the curtain, but we didn't have a cat and I'm peeing and I'm thinking, what is that? 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. We talked about piss a lot.
I think I pissed all over 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 to just scarred you forever for life so good that's a that's one of the most iconic movie scenes of all time yeah yeah what's your number one now we're here all right so it's about to start it's all it's all it's it's it's in the same realm of when a stranger calls that that's a great one man that one is that's probably my top three. The Strangers.
Oh, yeah. Liv Tyler.
I don't like that one.

Dude, that's probably in my top three. The Strangers.
Oh yeah. Liv Tyler.
I don't like that one. Dude, that one, I've watched it a few, anytime it comes on, it's honestly, it's probably playing now.
Like I'll watch it. 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. It is my, it is for whatever reason, it's the one in the last, that was what, 2008.
It's like 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. And like, I don't like it, but the strangers, like a movie.
It was real. It was reality.
It feels reality. Yeah, I think actually it might be based on a true story of some degree.
Very possible. But The Strangers to me is my number one all time.
It just gets me every time. But by the way, I actually like it.
I'll turn it on again. If it's on, if you're flipping, not that we flip through channels anymore, but if you caught it a quarter of the way through, are you sitting down for the rest? It just depends on am I in bed with the wife and we're snuggling.
Hey, let's watch this before we go to bed because she won't. If it's like 2 o'clock in the afternoon, nah, I'm not watching it.
There's some legacy ones. We didn't say Halloween.
We didn't say Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th. Those are iconic.
That could easily be one, two, and three. This is the personal list.
I like that your honorable mention was that. My honorable mention, I had 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. People are going to criticize.
Like, that's your number one? Scream. Scream was, to me- The original Scream.
The original, part one. Part one.
Now it's a franchise. Because I thought the mix of part rom-com, part really scary, that opening of Scream is terrifying.
It was, honestly, that was a phenomenon. I mean, how many Scream movies did they make? The scream mask became like the best Halloween costume of all time.
And they borrowed from the When A Stranger Calls, like calling while being in that. 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.
What's your favorite scary movie? Like that was going on all the time. They even made mock movies about like the Wayne's brothers made scary movie.
And that was a big part of it. So that's our top three.
The original scream for sure. I like that.
I also had like Chucky on there. I'm thinking of the ones when we were younger, like Nightmare on Elm Street was scary.
Friday the 13th. Friday the 13th was just always creepy.
Saw, the Saw movies are just nasty. It, the clown, the newer ones.
You know what? To this day, I won't watch it. Oh, I've seen it.
Yeah, clowns is weird. All right, well.
You got a bad history with clowns. Hit us up on Twitter or Instagram at throwback show.

Tell us yours because I know we missed a bunch.

So give it, and also to everyone out there,

happy Halloween.

Be safe out there.

And I'm about to go put on a Zerg costume.

So more coming up later.

Thank you, everybody.
