Wanted to mention we have a new rewatchables coming tomorrow night. We did Rambo First Blood Part Two. Me and Kyle Brandt. That's happening tomorrow. You can watch some people get shot. Listen, we just watched Giants Cowboys Sunday night. Cowboys minus three point favorites in Giants Stadium. New look Giants. A lot of people loving the Cowboys. A lot of theories that Jerry Jones has been quiet this year because he has a really good team finally. Uh Explosive offense. Lot of high hopes. And unfortunately for them, you jinxed them on Wednesday with all of your Drake May remarks.
Oh no, I heard of it. Oh no I did. You did. I didn't. You did. D you you you were mean about Drake May. You're mean last Superbowl. Nothing to do with this. You were mean this week. You got a little on your high horse and now it all backfired with Cam Scattaboot just scattered all over your body.
Oh crap. First of all, I didn't uh I was nice about Drake May when they lost the game. You were never nice. I tweeted. I tweeted his names and capital letters and exclamation points. Like what what more how much nicer?
could I beat? I would have felt bad for you tonight, but after you said Drake maybe three hundred and thirty times over the course of the week. It's more than that. How about maybe the Cowboys could have stopped the same play over and over again? All right, put 'em up. Put 'em up now. Oh oh wait, are you gonna run another swing pass to Singletary?

And this defense, this vaunted defense that was supposed to be uh, you know, ready to roll and new defensive coordinator, all these new changes. And you got steamrolled by a bunch of oversized white guys. Let's be honest. They all looked like I didn't even know who was who. It's like number forty five, forty-four, forty-one. Guys are moving around and you just got you got bulldozed.
Okay. I didn't know we were going to inject racism into the podcast. I'm looking at the rundown now. It's not on there anyway. We're going to go to the most uh impactures we regret. Cam
Scadabow. It's like he he's no, he's going to be running the ball here. There's three minutes left. Oh no, he's going to run for thirteen yards anyway.
I can't argue.
Well, I can't argue with any of it.
The only thing I I I see I didn't jinx it because I refused to give those those nicknames that readers, um readers, uh followers, watchers, viewers, listeners, um wrote in and gave, you know, Jackson Dart. And I was like, No, no, no, I'm not falling for that. I'm not doing that because I'm gonna come up with a medieval canival upset. Right. And there was some other ones too. We kept but uh you know, look first of all, this is unfair that I couldn't do the Wednesday night show with you. Why can't why can't I do uh Tonight's podcast with You got to
do the Super Bowl after me. After we lost by thirty points, you got to come on. Uh and take a drink, maybe victory lap. You weren't in
the Super Bowl. Come on.
We were in the Super Bowl. I don't know. It's New York football giants, twenty-nine first downs, six incompletions. That was it? Six? I don't remember six. Six incompletions. Twenty nine first downs. How many third down conversions? I only nine.
