Welcome to a special episode of Quantum Recast.
Speaker 2:That's right, it is.
Speaker 1:Super Bowl weekend.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's coming up, it is, it's the. You know, people often think that video movie people aren't sports fans, but we're here to say that's not true.
Speaker 1:You grew up in the south, we did, you were even if you didn't like sports, you kind of forced to at some point it's kind of all in place. Yes, it's like if you've watched the Big Bang Theory. Sheldon Cooper, like you find out he knows a lot about football. That's true. It's just because of where he grew up.
Speaker 2:Right, yes, yes, and it's also a way to bond with our father figures as well. It's the, it's the connective tissue.
Speaker 1:I do. I still have people who ever once want to get a little like weirded out that I know things about football or basketball and they're like who are you?
Speaker 2:It's like I watch sports. I'm a well rounded individual. I'm cultured. I don't just watch movies. Okay, I do a lot. All right, a lot of different interests.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, I just it's more like nah, it's just on. My mother is obsessed with football so I couldn't get paid. What? Even my father's influence in?
Speaker 2:my house. It was mom, no, no, no Dad on this side.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was about to say, mom's still obsessed with the bombing, she gets mad.
Speaker 2:That's right. Then she kicked you out for.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, dude, because I came over to like see her one day. I just went to visit her and like there's an OU Sooners game on and they were like ahead by like two touchdowns.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Then they started losing and she made me leave. She's like you brought bad juju in the home, get out. And I was like I laughed and she's like I'm serious, get out. I was like, oh OK.
Speaker 2:My dad hasn't gone that far, but like I, he does yell a lot at the TV. There's a lot of yelling. That goes on, you know.
Speaker 1:No, my mom, she'll turn games off. She'll leave the room. She's weird, but I love her to death, but she's got a problem when it comes to football.
Speaker 2:Listen, I've been at, I've, I've, I've, I'm umpire refereed all the sports games at the YMCA. Growing up Parents are awful. People are heavily, very unhealthily, invested in sports, but it is what it is.
Speaker 1:Yeah, those are the people living vicariously through their children. That's a whole other thing. Sure, sure, sure.
Speaker 2:So what are we doing here today, Corey?
Speaker 1:Well, we're going to honor football in movies. That's right, right. So we've, we've, we've toyed with this idea for a while. I think we did something on social media, like a few years back, you know, but we thought it'd be fun if we both fantasy, draft a cinematic football team, essentially rounding out a full football team. Ok, most generally avoiding the most of the offense.
Speaker 2:We're not doing left tackle center.
Speaker 1:Ok, OK, no, no no, no, but like most of like a football team and the coaches. Ok with fictional football players from movies.
Speaker 2:Got it All time. All time Kind of Bill and Ted rules kind of kind of cool If they play a sport a movie.
Speaker 1:As far as I'm concerned, they're fair game. Ok, right they're athletes, but they, they can't be based off a real person.
Speaker 2:That's a really rule. So no, michael Ores, no.
Speaker 1:Honestly, I don't know what Biopics that are about football players We've got him the blind side. Ok, yeah.
Speaker 2:Express which the blind side's tarnished. There's pretty much. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I was about to say. I was like I wasn't going to pick him anyway.
Speaker 1:That guy. That guy's really ungrateful for the white family. Honestly, I think everyone's a bad guy in that story.
Speaker 2:It's true, Like you finally figure like, oh, they took advantage of this poor kid who's just trying to play football and they're like this is our ticket to money.
Speaker 1:But then you also find out he's mostly lying about what he's saying about them too. It's just everyone's, it's just I don't know. It's a bad thing, so we'll just avoid.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so that's why we're avoiding real people because they're problematic. That's fair, you know? That's anything we can learn. Yeah, people are problem problematic we the Mark Wahlberg guy.
Speaker 1:That was a real guy right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, for the invincible. Well, yeah, yeah, he was real. I didn't. I didn't do him either. Ok, I assume he was real.
Speaker 1:So but I don't, you know, you don't have the Dion Sanders movie, you don't have the Troy Aitman or Dan Marino movie.
Speaker 2:Not yet it's weird.
Speaker 1:You would think that Hollywood would tap in this.
Speaker 2:Well, you know, having watched several football movies in the last couple of weeks just just for some fun preparation, there's really two kinds of football movies, corey. There's the town or the team comes together to overdo or tackle some injustice or some tragedy, or like societal change. You know, ok, I'll remember the Titans. We are Marshall, you know we are.
Speaker 1:Marshall is just sad. We had a movie about this because it's sad, Right right.
Speaker 2:Or the flip side is hey, big man, sport is really hard and tough for guys. They have feelings too, because you just get the like behind the scenes of like they're going through all this stuff, oh they're taking steroids. Or like the pressure's on to like win the game, or like the Heisman hunt or this kind of stuff. Or like my I'm banging this hooker but my wife's going to find out any minute. It's like it's that kind of the higher it's just it's wild.
Speaker 1:Nick, I think I broke my own rule already.
Speaker 2:OK.
Speaker 1:I did use some. Remember the Titans people.
Speaker 2:I also have some real, the real people. Yeah, they're real people, they're based off of people.
Speaker 1:Yeah, ok, we're not using any real professional.
Speaker 2:OK, I don't think any of them will be. We'll be flexed. We'll flex on the rules a bit, ok, ok.
Speaker 1:All right, all right. So, all right, cool. So I say what we're going to do is we're not going to do this like in a normal fantasy draft where we can just pick anyone. Yeah, we're going to go position by position.
Speaker 2:OK.
Speaker 1:And we've we've added some things that aren't necessarily going to be in like a normal fantasy draft yeah a lot cheerleaders and coaches.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:But hey, there's been some notable coaches and cheerleaders in film.
Speaker 2:That's right. We have to do knowledge as well.
Speaker 1:Yes, and so we're going to start down there, ok, and? We're just going to work our way up all the way to QB one.
Speaker 2:Yeah, all right, sounds good, we're going to go snake draft style. Ok.
Speaker 1:So whoever goes first, then the second guy go, but then that second guy goes again.
Speaker 2:Yes, so OK, got it.
Speaker 1:It'll be a lot of since there's two of us, we'll be a lot of back to back crossover today.
Speaker 2:So all of our movie fans are like I don't know what this is. All of our sports fans are like all right, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, snake draft, yeah, how else would you do it, duh?
Speaker 2:So you have a coin, corey? Yeah, I have a coin, so we're going to flip to see who goes first. It is a 1967 quarter.
Speaker 1:I looked it up. The Green Bay Packers beat the Kansas City Chiefs in 1967 at the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2:This was pulled out of a, out of a coin purse Perse. A cup of coins I have.
Speaker 1:We're not saying we're predicting the chief's loss, but at this point I don't know how they can lose.
Speaker 2:That's true.
Speaker 1:There's some I don't know what the 49ers have on their side. The Lions had M&M. They had a shot. It was perfectly set up. They had a shot.
Speaker 2:San Francisco has Bailey from wrestling.
Speaker 1:One goat from the for the other goat, bailey's got work to do before she's like that's true, yeah, she's got a lot of work to go her way, all right. So, yeah, flip it for us. All right, I'm going to do. You want heads or tails?
Speaker 2:Tails never fails, except right now.
Speaker 1:It's back.
Speaker 2:Yes, All right, Corey, you get to go first on cheerleader.
Speaker 1:All right.
Speaker 2:Who's cheerleader? Ok, cheer captain, we'll go. We'll go with that. We'll be respectable.
Speaker 1:I'm bringing you Becky the ice box. So she what? She was a cheerleader in little Giants for a half a game. But if something happens and I need her, I see what you're going with, I can suit her up.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, that's fair. I'm just thinking OK, I don't really need her for her.
Speaker 1:She was a terrible cheerleader, like let's just get out of the way.
Speaker 2:I mean it was horrible cheerleader Early elementary middle school cheerleader you had absentee mom issues.
Speaker 1:She wanted to be a girl for half a second.
Speaker 2:And then she's like you know what? No, who I am is great Boys need me yeah.
Speaker 1:My bros need me, yeah. So I'm first of all Becky the ice buck O'Shea. I also am crass. I'm casting her, I'm drafting her here because she's also maybe my favorite football. Fictional football player.
Speaker 2:All time, All time. Oh, wow, Listen, I mean hey.
Speaker 1:I still think it's the best football movie of all time.
Speaker 2:Little Giants.
Speaker 1:I own little Giants on Blu-ray. I watch it often, that's true. It's great. It's a solid kids movie. It falls into the kind of around the town, the.
Speaker 2:Cowboys are the bad guys. It works out great yeah.
Speaker 1:It's the brother that was never picked.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Stupid older brother One, the Isaman. I don't know if he played pro, but now he's selling Corvettes.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, also, we probably won't be able to ever do on a regular casting because it's all kids. Oh yeah, yeah, it's too hard.
Speaker 1:Oh, no, no. We'll never, ever ever cast Little Giants, so this is the one time we're going to talk about it. It's a great movie, it's huge on Disney Plus. If you've never seen it, go watch it.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It's Brick and Rannis. Ok, so that's all you need to know.
Speaker 2:So to give, because we're not going to have a lot of female representation in this episode. So this is, this is pretty much it right here. So just to acknowledge some of the great cheerleaders of our time. Real quick, you've got bring it on, obviously.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:You can pull. You know Eliza Dushku from there. You can pull Gabrielle Union.
Speaker 1:I had a backup from bring it on In case you went. Becky the Aspire, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then you can. You can go into like we are, marshall. Kate Mara played the only remaining cheerleader on the end because everybody else died, remember, and she?
Speaker 1:was the only one that was left.
Speaker 2:So she's loyal AF.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So you're like kind of like loyalty is a strong thing, it is.
Speaker 2:I'm going to give you, though I'm going to give you Buffy Summers, corey.
Speaker 1:The Vampire Slayer, the.
Speaker 2:Vampire Slayer, because she's a cheerleader and it counts. And again, also same logic If I need, if I need a backup, she knows karate, so she can jump in and just do some.
Speaker 1:I don't know how much karate translates in the football skills you know.
Speaker 2:If they turn out to be vampires, we're set.
Speaker 1:I actually had Isis Gabrielle Union from bring it on as a backup, Because I was like she could probably hold her own.
Speaker 2:She could. She could totally hold her own, mrs Dwayne Wade. Yes, probably, absolutely.
Speaker 1:That woman's athletic.
Speaker 2:All right, she's an Amazon. She's probably like she's five bad boys too as well. Yeah, no.
Speaker 1:So that was my backup.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, buffy Summers. To be clear, christy Swanson edition from the movie.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, not the TV not.
Speaker 1:TV. Not, mrs Freddie Prince, not right now. Ok, all right, that's fair. That's fair. No, that's the right one. I just watched that recently, the Buffy movie.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I watched it when Paul Rubens Peewee Herman died. That was, weirdly, the first movie I went to.
Speaker 2:Hey, it was fun. It's a great time. I love it. I love him in that movie.
Speaker 1:So all right. So what are we going next from cheerleader?
Speaker 2:Let's get the coaches out of the way. So do you want to do head coach and then assistant coach or vice?
Speaker 1:versa. However, you want to do it, let's do it, since it's your pick.
Speaker 2:It's my pick, that's right. That's right. I get to go first this time. Ok, I'm just going to start with head coach oh, of course you would so, and I'm just going to go right off the bat. Here I'm getting Jimmy McGinty from the replacements played by the legendary Jean Hackman.
Speaker 1:That's right, he's a good one, he's a good coach.
Speaker 2:Listen, he's pulled a bunch of ragtag guys together.
Speaker 1:He was able to pull out a couple of wins like every coach in every movie he said that like it's a unique.
Speaker 2:Like it's like it's a unique. He did it that character, he did it best. I'm going to say he did it best.
Speaker 1:Like Gordon Bumpe, danny O'Shea and little Giants.
Speaker 2:You're right, you're right, ok.
Speaker 1:No, but I like it. It's Gene Hackman.
Speaker 2:Yeah Right, that is going to give a good speech, it's true, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, wow, I would have pegged you for a Tony D'Amato guy.
Speaker 2:He gave I was close the game of inches speech. Yeah, that's true, that's true, but who's your pick?
Speaker 1:Let's see here who am I going to pick. I didn't even write him down. I had like all these backups and plans. You know I'm just gonna go. Tony Di Amato, okay, and he given Sunday.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's not loyal, by the way. He's the team, that's right. He does it. He wins the and still sort of quarter back, stills, the quarterback goes on but he gives the games of inches speech. That's any.
Speaker 1:I like him because he where he's, he's essentially Tony Montana as a yeah, oh, yeah Even. Sunday is just the sequel to just scarface if he survived.
Speaker 2:So it's like the video game where he gets the blasts way out and then we just find him as a code, then he just falls into Miami.
Speaker 1:So that makes complete sense. It's, he dresses like Tony.
Speaker 2:Montana, he wears a suit, he doesn't yeah that'd be. That's nice. You know he's packing heat. Yeah, it's true, he's carrying a gun, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, no for sure for sure.
Speaker 2:So who is so? Now you get to go, so who's your assistant coach?
Speaker 1:I wrote a name down. I don't even know who it is. Let me let me Google a name, right, because I'm just like, okay, I wrote this name down.
Speaker 2:We don't have a halftime show.
Speaker 1:I know, but I wrote a lot of names. Oh yeah, actually, that's what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 2:Okay, this is perfect, this is why it didn't Listen.
Speaker 1:I got creative.
Speaker 2:Okay, I'm listening.
Speaker 1:Got creative because I feel, first of all, everyone listeners. Nick does his homework for every episode. Nick's got lots of time, apparently because he's been watching football movies. Since we've come up with this idea, I haven't watched a single football movie.
Speaker 2:I don't know that kind of Cory. Anytime when you do stuff, I have to do research because, you have to remember, I'm constantly catching up with everyone with movies.
Speaker 1:Well, either way, you're, you're, you've been watching all the right moves. You're not texting me things and I'm like what's Nick watching all the right moves?
Speaker 2:Listen, you got a scout, cory. It's important to scout.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, so Nick scouted, so I had. I came up with some creative options because I just thought he was gonna go hard. Now listen, I mean Herman, boom, still there he's right there Kilmer's there, kilmer um, I listen. Every ounce of me wants to go with bill yost because he's the assistant.
Speaker 2:And he gets that great speech and he adapts well. He does adapt well. He adapts from defensive minded yes yeah.
Speaker 1:And then the other part of me really wants to go. Kevin O'Shea, not Danny, not Rick Moranis, that guy, oh, that's a fluke win.
Speaker 2:That is a fluke win. That's a fluke win, that's true.
Speaker 1:Kevin O'Shea is winning that game nine times out of ten a hundred percent. So it needs the better coach. Yeah, well means, but I'm actually going Jack Rooney, dennis quade, the retiring quarterback of the Miami Sharks, he's, he's just gonna become a coach. Okay, and he's gonna become the assistant to his coach, tony Di Amato.
Speaker 2:Dennis quade, the, the, the Brett fars, stand in, if you will. Yeah, he essentially plays Brett fars in any given Sunday.
Speaker 1:He is the Ailing quarterback and then really beam and come the old, the old gunslinger and then weirdly predicts the future of football Black running quarterbacks. They're just dominant. Because when the movie came out you're like, oh, that's fun. I wish football was really like that and then it.
Speaker 2:Now we have a marge axon and you're like well, this is the most Sunday came out in 99. So that was. That was right at the cusp of when Michael vick was playing for Virginia Tech, that's true, but still he was.
Speaker 1:that's still in a moment.
Speaker 2:I mean the close, yeah, the closest. Thing. I don't even I get.
Speaker 1:you have to think Stewart Stewart, he was, he was a passer war moon, but like, yeah, if you're just thinking black quarterbacks as well. I just felt really beaman predicted Lamar jacks, I think you kind of and and uh, strangely predicted Michael vick. Uh, michael vick Um who's our guy that right now for the Eagles that's a jail in Hertz?
Speaker 2:He just they.
Speaker 1:Maybe they all watched any given Sunday and just said, like I'm gonna be a football player.
Speaker 2:They're like you know what you know watch. Jimmie fox is killing. Yeah, why can't he just do?
Speaker 1:everything. Why not just have a second running back? Who needs? Who needs a running back? Yeah, so yeah it's, I'm jacked. When he's retired Okay, he's picking up the clipboard. Okay and he's the assistant coach, tony de motto. I'm having a Miami shark staff.
Speaker 2:Okay, all right. So, oh gosh, I'm gonna go billiost, I it's. It's a coin flip between him and Herman boon from, but I feel like Denzel's such a big presence that it might outshine.
Speaker 1:I don't think he's gonna be a good assistant. He might not be a great, he's gotta be the head guy.
Speaker 2:He's gotta be the head guy. So I'm gonna give billiost, because he gives such you talk about great speeches that you said he's adaptable and he also gives that great speech when the refs are like screw them over and he just looks, he pulls the defense like you were Blitzing all night and I'm like. I remember we watched this movie with our football team in middle school. We were all like I want to go play football right now. I don't even like defense.
Speaker 1:Billy. Oh, this is probably one of the best characters. Yeah, play by will Patton. Yeah, yeah, amazingly, he was on a run. Yeah, right after Armageddon, mm-hmm, he was on a run.
Speaker 2:He was, that. He was like that character actor that just like kept getting hit after hit, which was amazing.
Speaker 1:He was in the postman yeah, one of those Kevin cause are movies that you're like that sounds really good on paper, but no one but nobody saw it freaking long Waterworld. Goodness gosh, kevin cosner. I mean yellowstone seems too long, I won't watch it. That's fair, that's fair, okay.
Speaker 2:So now we'll move into the actual players themselves. So I'm gonna we're gonna start with the, the unheralded quarry, the, the heroes of the game that don't get a lot of glory. We're gonna start with the linemen, so this can be offense or defense offense or defense and what we're picking one's individual player, each for two rounds. So two to each, we're doing a two person line here, because there's a lot of fun characters to pull from here.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I was just a little shocked how many fictional football players or linemen, linebackers.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's very true. Yeah, I was like, oh okay, all right, all right, we get to go first. Okay, I'm just gonna pull out again another Replacements character, because he is the most memorable linemen. I'm pulling out jumbo fumiko From ace. Yonamin is the actor that played him. But if you don't know, he's the very large sumo I believe he's a former sumo wrestler that they they draft into the team to be on the line for them, on offense, for sure.
Speaker 1:Huh, you chose him over Jean Favreau's guy.
Speaker 2:But he's, he's defense. He's, he's allowed. I'm allowed to pull him on defense. He's a linebacker, I mean.
Speaker 1:I only went defense here, I didn't think much about mo. I was like okay, I feel like my guys could go both ways. All right, so I'm up. Yes, you got the sumo guy from the replacements and I need a lineman right, right, right. All right, my first lineman. Okay, I'm going louis elastic. From remember the titans. Oh, okay, Ethan supply but can I have Ethan supply now? Like fit Ethan, yeah, like huge, muscular, but still large, ethan supply versus like.
Speaker 2:I feel like you have to stay with him.
Speaker 1:Oh be this, Ethan supply.
Speaker 2:What is this character's name? Louis Last elastic, that's right, really elastic. I mean, he was kind of the heart and soul.
Speaker 1:He was kind of the heart. He was the heart of the team. He was the heart of the team. He had the best mama joke. Yeah, yeah, he didn't see color. No, no, no, no, I love it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, for sure, okay, cool. So who's your second lineman? It's your, I believe you get that pick.
Speaker 1:So I'm really unfamiliar with lineman, so I'm gonna bring you the only other lineman I can think of from a movie that's billy bob billy bob varsity blues. Billy Bob from varsity blues Kind of a liability kind of injury prone. Yeah, yeah, played by Ron Lester, the late Ron Lester.
Speaker 2:He died young. That's right, I forgot it lost a lot of weight but I think it still was kind of the heart thing, yeah, okay. You got a lot of heart on your line and I do. I do.
Speaker 1:Billy bob was also he was kind of the heart and soul of the Whatever the coyotes, I believe.
Speaker 2:Okay, the varsity blues Gotcha, gotcha, okay. So very fair, very fair, we may. We may have messed up our order here, but I'll. I'll pick my lineman too here. Uh, so for line, my second pick, it's just weird, because since we did two, yeah you did one and then I got to go twice. Okay, now it's you. Oh yes, got it, we're good, we're good. My brain was like did I mess up? Did I mess up?
Speaker 1:No, it's that snake draft you don't get to pick both your linemen in one pick. Right, right, right, that's for sure.
Speaker 2:Okay, so I'm gonna go with a defensive lineman here. I'm going with o w shattuck from north dallas 40. You don't know anything about this. North dallas 40 is kind of this depressing like. It's like any given sunday in the 70s, starring nick nolte.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I knew nick nolte's in it, but I never sat and watched it.
Speaker 2:He's played. This character is played by john matzuzak, that's, that's my best guess at that name but he's just north for jallas, north 40.
Speaker 1:I think I've avoided all Dallas football movies from the 70s. This one's like if it's gonna be porn or not.
Speaker 2:It's not porn, okay, but that's a fair assumption. But it's just very much like live. Look into how hard it is. Like Because they're like taking stairwood shots and stuff and there there's no like. It's just I'm like I don't want to play football in the 70s. It just sounds rough, like these guys are barely walking around, but this guy fair o w. He's like. He's just that typical, like Most defensive players on the line, and linebackers are portrayed as psychotic coriander on some level and he's.
Speaker 2:He's that to a t, he's just big mean burley's got a deep voice ready to go murder. Somebody has a weird ritual before the game and and yeah, so that's who I'm going with. I want somebody to really like build up the defensive line for me.
Speaker 1:Okay, all right, that's fair. It's a deep cut for for a football thing in all fairness, dallas north 40 still sounds like it could be a porno, but I'm glad it's not just an old movie, so everyone kept their clothes on that's good, well, for the most part, yes, I mean.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, it's the 70s, right, right right, even there's.
Speaker 1:I've been really pilfering from any given sunday and there's Full frontal oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:There's really catches you off. There's a scene we were watching at my. We had like a football night where all the team was at somebody's house and we were in like one of the rooms watching any given sunday and his mom walked in and they paused it and and right when right when right when el cool jay is doing a line off of.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, I was thinking about just the penis really catches you off guard. It's like just camera Diaz walks in the shot and there's just a naked man saying you're like oh, All right. All right, I see what's all right, okay seems gratuitous, but but hey, we don't get a lot of gratuitous mail nudity. So I you know I get a good job, oliver, thinking outside the box there.
Speaker 2:So um moving on to defense, now Cory Defense, all right.
Speaker 1:All right, all right, so I get to go both here.
Speaker 2:That's right, that's right.
Speaker 1:Linebacker's cornerbacks.
Speaker 2:Yeah, mix and match, cory, whatever you want.
Speaker 1:I'm going to go.
Speaker 2:Now you still okay. Hmm, okay, there's, there's just a very apparent defensive player on the board and you have the first pick.
Speaker 1:I know Well, there's a lot.
Speaker 2:There's a lot, there's a lot, there's there's, there's. Becky's already off the off the table as a linebacker because she's a cheerleader.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and she would have been good too, because I think people would have been afraid to hit a underage girl. Um Luther Leves a casualty because he's old and he's a drug addict, which we're talking about. Pro football players, a lot of them are drug addicts.
Speaker 2:That's true.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna go. Charles Jefferson from Fast Times at Ridgemont.
Speaker 2:High Charles Jefferson, played by Forzwicker. Forzwicker, that's right, thank you.
Speaker 1:He's the star of the Ridgemont High and then like it's funny, because Spicoli borrows his car, wrecks it. But then he like sits outside the school and pranks the rival school's name on it like they stole it and wrecked it. And then he just lays waste to an entire team and it's great. And then Nicholas Cage is just in the stands cheering his heart out as a nobody. He's just a background actor at Fast Times at. Ridgemont High. Apparently, the cast hated him because he was very full of himself.
Speaker 2:Well, you know. But hey, he went on to be Nick Cage. That's true, he had some growing up to do, corey.
Speaker 1:He had a humble way of doing himself, but still he's Nick Cage. You'd still tell all those people I'm Nick Cage.
Speaker 2:Hey, you're not. So who still has a career? Oh, forrest does.
Speaker 1:And I guess, sean Penn. That's true. That's true. There's a couple, there's a couple.
Speaker 2:Ok. Well, if you're going to take Charles Jefferson, I'm taking Bobby Boucher, the water boy himself played by Adam Sandler. It's kind of a layup. I feel like people would be mad if we didn't acknowledge Bobby Boucher. Yeah.
Speaker 1:No, he would be a strong omission.
Speaker 2:Yes, for sure.
Speaker 1:It's interesting too, because you almost have to ask would our guys cut it in the pros? Because my guy's a high school athlete. But he's like a prospect, he's definitely going.
Speaker 2:We just assume that he's To his college of choice. Yeah, follows the projection and he becomes the player that we want to use.
Speaker 1:I just wondered if Bobby Boucher would make it Listen.
Speaker 2:Bobby Boucher's got a girlfriend now she's leading him away from he's got out from under his mom's helicopter life. I think he's going to graduate from college and he's going to be able to like.
Speaker 1:You don't think money would change him, because my guy's already driving this car. He's already used to money.
Speaker 2:I think Bobby Boucher's just going to buy another shack in Louisiana. He's going to be perfectly In the swamp. In the swamp Probably a little too close to his mom.
Speaker 1:You're right, that's going to be it. Money and fame won't change him.
Speaker 2:They won't change him. He'll be chill, he'll just be a good old boy. That's pretty much it.
Speaker 1:You know what, though? You have to deal with it. Every single game. What's?
Speaker 2:that.
Speaker 1:You can do it. I don't have to deal with that.
Speaker 2:Listen, we pay that man to motivate him to play football.
Speaker 1:He's actually on the staff. Yeah, he's on the staff. All right, that's fair. That's fair.
Speaker 2:We pay him. He's part-time janitor, full-time sideline mascot. Basically that's what I'm going with, okay.
Speaker 1:All right, I did just totally get out of order because I was supposed to go twice.
Speaker 2:You were, I was Okay, we'll all let you go now. I'm going to go now, okay.
Speaker 1:And then, once we get on the next position, we'll go back, okay, okay. So I'm going to go cornerback here. Cornerback, I got to cover the receivers.
Speaker 2:You're right, I guess I do. I feel like you're going to draft some solid receivers.
Speaker 1:I'm going to get creative here. Okay, I'm listening, hear me out. Okay, I'm just assuming he also played football when he wasn't playing baseball in the sandlot. Benny the jet Rodriguez would be an incredible cornerback. Sure, sure he might. He's incredibly fast, you're not wrong.
Speaker 2:Yes, he can outrun dogs.
Speaker 1:He's just D on Sanders.
Speaker 2:Okay, that's all he is. So what you're telling me is you're pulling a guy from a completely different sport. A lot of kids play two sports.
Speaker 1:You're telling me the sandlot kids didn't also play football and we just never saw it, we never saw it, we never saw it.
Speaker 2:I'm willing to let it slide here, because I will acknowledge that there aren't a lot of notable cornerbacks in film, like it seems like you don't think of two others. There's only the only one I could think of is Ryan Gosling, and he's terrible. He literally gets pulled out of the game.
Speaker 1:I can think of two more, but I'm not going to tell you what they are because I want you to have to draft Ryan Gosling or go to another linebacker.
Speaker 2:I'll probably just stack the middle and just be fine with it. Live or die off of the running pass.
Speaker 1:So we are allowing Benny the jet Rodriguez. I will allow a place both pro baseball and pro football, I will allow it.
Speaker 2:Benny the jet as as damning as it probably is Rodriguez, I'll let it happen, all right.
Speaker 1:He would be an incredible corner. He'd be an incredible corner, yeah.
Speaker 2:But listen, it's the most athletic position on the football field by bar none.
Speaker 1:He outran a dog, he outran a monster dog for 30 miles all over the town.
Speaker 2:He's got stamina, he's got speed. It's all you can ask for he's, he's.
Speaker 1:he's not sitting on the league in interceptions oh 100%.
Speaker 2:He's just got that natural gift. You know, can't believe we have a sandlot character on here.
Speaker 1:I bet that Benny the jet Rodriguez gets a Super Bowl before he gets a World Series ring.
Speaker 2:I mean probably, yeah probably just the Dion Sand, yeah, sanders route. Okay, all right, okay, so for my pick, I'm really tempted to pull Vonte Mack from draft day. Another Kevin Costner movie Okay, chadwick Posey, because he gets gets drafted first in movie spoilers, but dude has like four recorded sex on like the Heisman quarterback who's supposed to go first and throws him off his game completely. So this dude's intense. But I I'm going to bring up Alvin Mack from the program.
Speaker 1:I never saw the program play by Dwayne Davis.
Speaker 2:It's a pretty solid, you know again any given Sunday, but college Okay, and he's depressing. It's depressing, you know. At the same time, though, he gets injured. He pretty much has a season career ending injury in the movie. How do we feel about that? Do we? Do we include that in our story? Do we just say like he is as in their peak form? Basically?
Speaker 1:I mean, I would just say, like he's gets over it.
Speaker 2:Okay, you know all right, whoa, we'll play in the world where this dude is terrifying, like he's. He's a naturally gifted athlete. There's no steroids with this guy, corey he. And he talks so much trash that he intimidates, like the quarterbacks, the linemen, like he is the real deal here. Like Bobby Boucher, you have to get him angry. Alvin Mack, he just scares everybody. So you're going to get Bobby Boucher screaming at you on one side of the linebacker and then on the strong side you're going to have on, not Vonte Mack, alvin Mack coming at you saying he's going to murder you in your sleep. Basically, like he's like. He's like he's got the MJ thing where he's like I heard you talking about my mom, I'm going to kill you. And they're like I didn't say anything about your mom. He's like no, I heard you, I'm coming for you.
Speaker 1:So you just have to, bobby Boucher, I have two psychos in my linebacker squad. I'm looking at the program cast. It's got Andrew Brynjarski in it and he just made a career out of playing franchise like characters and football players. He was madman in any given Sunday.
Speaker 2:He's the guy that wants to listen to metal.
Speaker 1:And then he also played Zingief in Street Fighter and he was Leatherface in the two remakes early 2000 remakes. He had a great career. I think you should have drafted him oh well, it's too late now.
Speaker 2:Hands off the chess piece, hands off the beast. All right, so now that we're been in special teams, so now we're returning to.
Speaker 1:By the way, considering you watched all the right moves, you didn't want to draft Tom Cruz as a quarterback.
Speaker 2:He's got an attitude problem, corey, okay.
Speaker 1:And he's on George Evac.
Speaker 2:There's not enough footage to constitute that he's a great quarterback.
Speaker 1:That's true. And then there was also Wesley Snipes from Wildcats, that's right. That's right, that's right, wesley.
Speaker 2:Snipes was in Wildcats.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, he's true man, that's the only one I missed. I ran out of time, didn't see Wildcats and you suffered so probably why I didn't cast Goldie Hahn as my coach. That's fair, that's fair.
Speaker 2:So all right, we're in special teams now, Corey.
Speaker 1:Okay, listen, there's one, can we just acknowledge it?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:There's only one special teams character, right, right.
Speaker 2:And what we're saying is like outside of kickers and punters, there's only one special teams player.
Speaker 1:So you understand. We're not making inappropriate joke. It is special teams Is what it's actually called. You're not on the offense, you're not on the defense, you just do like punt return.
Speaker 2:Be clear.
Speaker 1:But Forrest Gump is the only special teams player I know of in cinema.
Speaker 2:This is true. He's just putt return. He's the only one that's like that's his job, yeah.
Speaker 1:Putt return. Kickoff return.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so we'll just acknowledge we're both going to have Tom Hicks.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's Forrest Gump.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Is there a special teams guy? We might just be kicking the ball off back and forth to each other because he just until he runs home. You at least.
Speaker 1:It's nothing but kickoff return.
Speaker 2:Basically, whoever gets the ball first gets a touchdown, and then they're like well, we've lost him now. He went home.
Speaker 1:So this should only get him one. You just get one free touchdown and then he's gone, oh yeah, but Forrest Gump of the Alabama Crimson Tide, that's right All the time. Yeah.
Speaker 2:All right, all right, now for so we are going to pick some kickers. Yeah, okay, I got a kicker, you got a kicker. So, corey, who do you got for a kicker?
Speaker 1:I will count Forrest Gump as my first turn in this new graph.
Speaker 2:Got it.
Speaker 1:My kicker is Gus the horse. From Gus what he can kick a hundred yard of field goals. Don Knotts movie in which they get a horse or a mule, I'm not sure which, but he plays football. It's airbud before airbud. I see, okay, okay, 1976. Got it.
Speaker 2:That's that looks. Is it a dog?
Speaker 1:A mule. It's a mule, it's a donkey, sorry it's.
Speaker 2:Gus the mule.
Speaker 1:I'm not even gonna get in my ever out of field goal range with Gus the mule on my team Okay.
Speaker 2:Okay, that's fair.
Speaker 1:He counts. He has played football in cinema. You're correct, we did not discriminate. Coach, by the great Don Knotts, by the way.
Speaker 2:I want to watch this movie now, oh my gosh. Okay, so you've got Gus. Now this would be a really the spot where I would be tempted to bring in some of my favorite. They're great characters. You've got Nigel Gruff from the replacements played by Rice Ivans, but he's a problem. He's a gambler. You never can count on him, that's true. I, you can't count on him.
Speaker 1:Is that a shape he?
Speaker 2:smokes. Yeah, he's a great teammate, but I just don't know if I can count on him in the clutch. And then you've got Barney Gorman from garbage kicking, field goal kicking, philadelphia phenomenon, disney, straight to Disney TV movie. Okay, tony Danza Corey, absolutely, but he also kind of Other than a fluke play where he scores the touchdown at the end of the game. You're not getting a lot of he chokes in the clutch at one of the games and pretty much gets fired for it. So I'm going to give you Lucy Draper Corey from Necessary Roughness. It's a Scott Baccala movie.
Speaker 1:I'm aware of what it is. I've never sat down and watched this Scott Baccala movie. It was a replacements.
Speaker 2:Before the replacements Corey, okay, if you're noticing a pattern, there's Again. There's only two types. There's only a few types of football teams and movies where it's like we got to put together a ragtag group of people. She's a soccer player turned football player, earns her stripes on the field and can pretty much kick it from anywhere.
Speaker 1:Maybe not 100 yards like a mule? Yeah, not usually.
Speaker 2:But still very solid Played by Kathy Ireland.
Speaker 1:You're going to have to cross that 50-yard line. I'm going to have to. Oh, Kathy Ireland.
Speaker 2:Kathy Ireland. Yeah, babe, total babe. Yeah, kathy Allen's my pick.
Speaker 1:All right, I like it. I like it. I was tempted to go with Sylvester Stallone from that soccer movie.
Speaker 2:I almost pulled the soccer player in because most kickers come from soccer. A lot of the times we definitely could have nailed hey, listen we got Benny, the Jet Rodriguez, the Mule.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I got creative.
Speaker 2:Ridiculous, ridiculousness. So is it my turn now.
Speaker 1:Do I get to? I got Mule, I got Benny the Jet Rodriguez. Do I get to go first? You can do it again.
Speaker 2:Okay, perfect, perfect, perfect.
Speaker 1:So Snake drafts are hard, they can.
Speaker 2:Titan is also a position that's not acknowledged a whole lot. I found two In the yeah, so I think we're just going to probably pick the other one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, choose which one you want, and I'll just take the other.
Speaker 2:So I'm going to go with Cheeseburger Eddie from the youngest, yara 2005, played by Terry Cruz.
Speaker 1:I prefer that. I don't think I could stand to be around Terry Cruz. Terry Cruz was sitting front row at the Grammys last night and I thought that's right. I don't know why I don't know why he was there.
Speaker 2:I saw that he was like he had better seats than Taylor Swift. He was, Listen, he was there to do the joke about Taylor Swift. That really wasn't about Taylor Swift and nobody was mad about it. That's all it is.
Speaker 1:That's why they set him far away from that, but he was at Dr Dre's table and I guess he gets front row seats, so all right. Well then, I'm going to take Brian Murphy, the deaf tight end, from the replacements. There you go, and you know what, honestly, I would have taken him anyways, because you have too many replacements on your team and it's going to be too cohesive.
Speaker 2:I was trying to avoid that, corey. Yeah, listen, I, that's what I'm saying. I don't want you to have too cohesive of a team. Yeah, I've got the coach and I've got a lineman, so only two, only two bits, and Brian Murphy, I'm trying to spread it out here. Nice pallet.
Speaker 1:Played by the guy who was Pam's fiance in the office in the first few seasons.
Speaker 2:That's right. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1:Because we all learned to hate him because of the office. But then you're like wait, he played the lovable tight end in the replacements. We're assholes. Jim's a dick. Yeah, jim is awful Wow. I'm glad that he turned out in the office, we find out that he got really successful.
Speaker 2:Successful and happy and make a lot of money. He's like, yeah, if it was for you guys, I wouldn't be here right now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I love it. That's right, Brian Murphy, he's my tight end, the deaf tight end. So all right. So that means Now we're up into our main offensive ones, right?
Speaker 2:Yes, yeah, we got running backs ride receivers and quarterbacks left to knock this out, so I think we could do this.
Speaker 1:Do this?
Speaker 2:So, corey, it's your pick again for the first running back. All right, first running back.
Speaker 1:So am I going RB1 or RB2? We'll say RB1. Yeah, oh, all right. Listen, we all know. Listen, I'm just going to do it. Okay, I'm picking Megat from longest yard.
Speaker 2:It was Nelly. Oh, nelly, okay, yeah, yeah, nelly from longest yard Got it and all my research there's never been a better cinematic running back.
Speaker 1:There's been close ones, that's fair. That's fair. But he's the guy.
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah, respect that Respectable, he was speed. Yeah, he only wears one black line on his face and Because he's Nelly yeah.
Speaker 1:And he's in prison, so he is tough.
Speaker 2:Exactly, yeah, it stands the test.
Speaker 1:I have to get him out of jail to play this game, I'm sure. Listen within who just says time's up, he's out.
Speaker 2:It's a football movie. Yeah, it's time. Either it's time's up or it's a football movie where we somehow finagle at you? I don't think those guys were doing life, Maybe not. Some of them probably were doing life. Probably yeah, some of them were.
Speaker 1:I think some of them were Like the great colleague was probably doing life 100%.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's murdered men With his bare hands.
Speaker 1:Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2:Okay, there's not a lot of great representation. There are some notable like high school running backs, like you've got Booby Miles from Friday Night Lights.
Speaker 1:I never saw Friday Night Lights. He was too depressed, okay.
Speaker 2:Yes, also depressing. A little too real for Nick, a young teenage Nick. But Booby Miles, James. Booby Miles, played by Derek Luke, was the stud athlete. The scouts were coming to see him and in the middle, Not Kind of towards the middle of the movie- he gets injured.
Speaker 1:Is that Taylor Keesh? No, no, Different guy.
Speaker 2:Different guy, so only guy no, basically, booby has to sit on the sideline for the rest of the year and their whole Aw, the rest of the year. We're following Booby into the championship.
Speaker 1:The Paul Walker of yeah yeah, he's the Paul Walker of this movie for sure.
Speaker 2:So yeah, I'm gonna go with Booby, I'm gonna go with Booby. Miles, we're just again it's the same idea that they're at their peak of their powers. Injuries aren't a concern here.
Speaker 1:Technically based on a real guy, but we're gonna let it go Right. Yeah, got a lot of Titans already. Yes, yes, oh man, that gives me a fair game here.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:It's like do I want to beat Nick or do Ilisten? I could take one of your quarterbacks here.
Speaker 2:One of my quarterbacks. Yeah, you have to pick another running back.
Speaker 1:No, no, I'm considering pulling Willie Beeman to the RB spot.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's not how this works. I'm not gonna do it.
Speaker 1:I'm not gonna do it.
Speaker 2:So it comes down to that's disrespectful.
Speaker 1:Do I want LL Cool J or do I want to honor little giant some more? I'm bringing a spike from little giants.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:He was a defensive monster as well as an incredible running back. That's true, he was a two-way player. He can carry a fridge by himself, by the way.
Speaker 2:Can't carry a sentence, though.
Speaker 1:No no, it's spy. He was in like that weird he really loved. He was in Brink the skateboard Disney movie. That's right. Oh my gosh, that's like all I know him from is those two movies.
Speaker 2:That's right, I forgot he was the bad. I didn't put that catch up.
Speaker 1:He's the bad guy skater, that's awesome, but little giants, he's the bad guy football player.
Speaker 2:That's right, but he has range.
Speaker 1:But he has the slow clap at the end.
Speaker 2:That's true, he's sportsman, he is a sportsman, he is a sportsman, mm-hmm, through and through.
Speaker 1:And he's a sportsman and technically, if you tackle him it's illegal because he's minor.
Speaker 2:I don't know where we're going to sit yet on if we age up the characters appropriately or we just let it live as it is.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we let it live as it is.
Speaker 2:Okay, all right, that's fine, that's fine. Well, I'm going to pull one more person from the program, corey, oh my gosh. I'm pulling Darnell Jefferson because he is the best running back outside.
Speaker 1:That's Omar Epps yeah.
Speaker 2:He's the best one I've seen outside of Nellie, so I'm going to pull Omar Epps out of the program. As Darnell Jefferson, the rookie, the freshman running back too, he does a really good job. He has to outplay the guy in front of him who's also dating Halle Berry, who he's has a crush on, so he has, to like, do double duty in that movie. Okay, two different battles, corey.
Speaker 1:Wait, have you done two running backs?
Speaker 2:I have.
Speaker 1:I think we've messed the snake trap up. Okay, all right, so now it's fine, okay.
Speaker 2:But now we're moving into wide receiver Corey, All right.
Speaker 1:So wide receiver one.
Speaker 2:Yes, wide receiver one. So should I go first to return to the snake form.
Speaker 1:Yeah, why don't you go ahead? Okay, just since I went first on running back. Okay, that's fair, unless you have your number one wide receiver.
Speaker 2:Well, corey, I'm going. Rod Tidwell from Jerry McGuire, played by Cuba Gooding Jr, he's. I feel like that's. That's kind of the layup, the no brainer there, I feel like it's he's there for a reason, corey, that's fair. He wants the money. Corey, he's probably where the money's going to go, but we're going to show it to him.
Speaker 1:Say your salary cap's going to suck.
Speaker 2:Hey, it's for one game, all right.
Speaker 1:All right.
Speaker 2:So that's who I got. So who? Who's your wide receiver? One, corey.
Speaker 1:I went with Deacon Moss, deacon Moss. Played by Michael Irvin From longest yard. From the longest yard.
Speaker 2:Okay, I thought he might come up. Yeah, because you're also going. Well, he's a wide receiver. He's Michael Irvin. He's Michael Irvin. Kind of a cheating here, kind of a layup there, kind of a little bit of cheat there, but you know Corey's pulling from left and right here.
Speaker 1:Got a few Super Bowl centers built.
Speaker 2:Some experience there to lead on the team. All right, I see what you're doing.
Speaker 1:That's. I need a vet.
Speaker 2:You do need a vet, I need a vet.
Speaker 1:That's all it is, because he is maybe a little too old. I'm only going to get a few good years out of him.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's true, you're right, you're right.
Speaker 1:Okay, corey. So so you get to go next. That's right. Okay, I get my wide receiver too. Okay, so who's your wide receiver too? All right, listen, I'm going to get a little creative. How creative are you. Okay, so not a lot of wide receivers. Okay In the NFL. Yeah, played quarterback in college. They just didn't have the size.
Speaker 2:Yeah, when I got to the NFL, right, right, right.
Speaker 1:I'm bringing Johnny Walker from Johnny B Good.
Speaker 2:Anthony Michael Hall. Anthony Michael Hall.
Speaker 1:Number one draft choice in college football in that movie, because the movie is just about him going to all these different colleges that want him and it's just goofy, as I'll get out it's. It's like a brat package.
Speaker 2:Yeah, robert Downe Jr.
Speaker 1:The principal from breakfast clubs in it as the coach.
Speaker 2:Oh.
Speaker 1:And so, and, but listen, he does not have the size.
Speaker 2:He does not. He does not. He's Anthony Michael Hall, but I believe in his athleticism yeah.
Speaker 1:So he's just going to be like a Cole Beasley or a West Welker type?
Speaker 2:Who's?
Speaker 1:that dude that Tom Brady always threw to West Welker no, the other guy.
Speaker 2:Oh, the other guy. Oh crap, I don't know. I'm going to have to root for him the most recent one yeah the most recent, the most recent, the most recent the cocky guy.
Speaker 1:Yeah yeah the Conor McGregor looking good. Yeah yeah that guy.
Speaker 2:Tom Brady receiver. What's receivers over the years Perhaps?
Speaker 1:We're going to be really frustrated. We talked about Julian Edelman. Julian Edelman, he's just going to be my Julian Edelman. He's good for some really good slant routes.
Speaker 2:You've got Michael Irvin going deep.
Speaker 1:And now you're going to have Anthony Michael Hall giving the short routes. I get it. Johnny Walker, just slant routes. We're just chipping away. It's a game of inches, nick.
Speaker 2:All right, corey. Well, you've left somebody on the board. That's very available, I know, and it's really tempting to not take Air Bud right here.
Speaker 1:You want to take Air Bud for Golden Retriever? I am literally joking. Oh OK.
Speaker 2:That is sarcastic.
Speaker 1:I've seen him in a lot of lists when I was researching this.
Speaker 2:I was very tempted to just listen.
Speaker 1:You picked a mule I picked a mule.
Speaker 2:But at a kicker. At a kicker, that's true. Yeah, it's very specific, because who's going to tackle a dog? Who's going to be able?
Speaker 1:to tackle a dog. That's true, he is fast.
Speaker 2:He's very fast.
Speaker 1:I've never seen Golden Retriever. I'm not really sure how he catches the football and runs.
Speaker 2:Because right now it's between him Nick Nolte's character who's already crumbling as a human being in this movie. But he has solid hands. And then the other guy has no hands. You have to put glue on his hands to make him catch it from the replacements.
Speaker 1:What about Hot Hands, hainan, from Little Giants?
Speaker 2:He also requires that's true, yeah, you have to imagine it's a toilet paper.
Speaker 1:Adhesive or toilet paper. He's got a lot of weapons.
Speaker 2:You know, corey, I'm going Air Bud, we're going Air Bud here. What? Yeah, try to stop that dog on the slant route.
Speaker 1:I dare you, you didn't go. Charlie Tweeter from Barcity Blues oh, that's true. Other than he's kind of insane, he's kind of insane. I need some semblance you need to bail him out of jail a lot.
Speaker 2:My defense is already pretty crazy. So Air Bud Golden Retriever, we're going for it. That's what I've got, corey.
Speaker 1:All right, I don't know that's fair If you had made James Kahn from the program your coach and got Charlie Tweeter that's his son in real life.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but James Kahn was a terrible coach, like he barely existed in that thing. Oh yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1:Hey, I had Bud Kilmer on my list for coaches and he was the bad guy. That's true, yeah, but he won a lot of titles for that. He got a lot of results.
Speaker 2:Two-way Texas school. He's probably canceled now, but that's fine, so all right. So does that mean we're up to our quarterbacks? We're up to our quarterbacks in just in time.
Speaker 1:All right, did you go twice, or do you want to? I did not go twice.
Speaker 2:I got you. You got Deacon and Johnny B Good, so I get quarterback one.
Speaker 1:So you did yours and you got QB one.
Speaker 2:So I got to do it. Corey, I got to do it to you. I mean, you're probably going to take one of the Keanu's, I assume, so I'm going to take Stephen Woolleybeeman from any given side of it.
Speaker 1:No, no, no.
Speaker 2:I've got a QB one. Ok, that's not Stephen Woolleybeeman, jamie Foxx.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Any given Sunday, that's my one, so who is your quarterback?
Speaker 1:one. So I get to go QB one, qb two. I give both my quarterbacks, yeah, but I get last pick. I'm going to go QB two first.
Speaker 2:then, if you don't mind, I'm going to just save my QB one for last, ok, ok.
Speaker 1:My QB two is John Moxley from Varsity Blues.
Speaker 2:OK, got it. I was confused for a moment because there's also a wrestler named John.
Speaker 1:Moxley yeah, no, I didn't recreate a narrative, or John Moxley, I was like did he play?
Speaker 2:football, but Vanderbeek is who you are.
Speaker 1:Yeah, james Vanderbeek. Ok, I'm pretty sure his first name is John in there, unless I also just messed up and thought of the wrestler. Come on, don't embarrass me, but no Mox. I mean he just goes by Mox, but I wonder do you think John Moxley got Mox from? Who knows?
Speaker 2:Who knows? Anyway, james Vanderbeek's solid quarterback comes in because the quarterback before him gets injured. Played by Paul Walker, correct?
Speaker 1:Yeah, so Paul Walker's guy, jonathan Mox Moxon, so his name's John Moxley. Yeah, ok, we're good For sure.
Speaker 2:But yeah, he's a solid backup quarterback that's going to come in when you have few games obviously.
Speaker 1:So yeah.
Speaker 2:A locker room leader.
Speaker 1:He's the locker room leader. He's my KB2 because he's young.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:He's only in high school, but he gets rid of their toxic coach, stands up for his buddies, shows Paul Walker hey, your career's over, but you can be a coach.
Speaker 2:That's a nice thing. Yeah, he's helping people get into the next phase of their lives.
Speaker 1:It sends Paul Walker down his Charlie Conway path like, hey, you're not the best hockey player, but you could go.
Speaker 2:But you got an eye for it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so this brings me to my QB1. Ok, the greatest college quarterback of all time from Revenge of the Nerds, stan Gable, stan Gable Of the Adams College, adams.
Speaker 2:Revenge of the Nerds who plays him.
Speaker 1:The guy from Married with Children, the handsome neighbor.
Speaker 2:Oh, I thought you were going to go albundi.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, no, no, no. That's Kevin O'Shea from Little Giants man. Why can't I remember his name?
Speaker 2:Stan Gable of Revenge of the Nerds, one of the 80s movies I need to watch, but it's not on anything. Cory, I need to borrow your copy. Yeah, don't remind me to I own it, buddy, I got you. Ted McGinley, ted McGinley, yeah.
Speaker 1:Not only the other, he's the handsome neighbor from, married with Children, right.
Speaker 2:He's screaming. Dan from Wayne's World.
Speaker 1:OK, or handsome Dan from Wayne's World or whatever, but he's listen, he is the quarterback, he's awesome and over the trilogy he has a good redemption story In the becoming friends with the Nerds over the trilogy.
Speaker 2:Oh wow, I didn't know there was arcs in these movies.
Speaker 1:Ok, all right, he's not featured in the second one, but he chose back up in the third one.
Speaker 2:Ok, that's good, that's good to know, that's good to know. I feel better now watching those movies.
Speaker 1:But he does really good at the end when the Nerds are giving their speech. You know about how like you guys are all suck and you just treat us differently. He acts very well. It's one of my favorite like face acting scenes. It's like the bad guy from Karate Kid. Why am I blanking on William Zapka's?
Speaker 2:character. I don't know, do you know it or did you also forget it? It's also drawn. It's that thing. It's like once you want somebody to forget about it. Billy Zapka played by. No, it's William Zapka. William Zapka plays Johnny Lawrence. Johnny Lawrence.
Speaker 1:You know, Johnny Lawrence acts really well when he's told Sweep the Leg. Yeah, it's no words, it's nothing. Stan Gable has the same thing in that speech where you can tell if truly feels bad. Okay, it's a redemption without words. Okay, I like that. So I feel like he went to the NFL Nice For sure. Maybe got one Super Bowl, or maybe got to a Super Bowl.
Speaker 2:Maybe didn't win it.
Speaker 1:True, true, true, true, true so that's my QBs.
Speaker 2:Okay, so we're on your QB1. Yeah, I got one more. I already got my QB1. So I'm going to go with QB2. Push your back up to.
Speaker 1:Willie Beeman.
Speaker 2:Well, of course there's a lot of great choices here. I'm just going to quickly give some thoughts out here.
Speaker 1:By the way, I have Willie Beeman's coach.
Speaker 2:You do so you're going to try to steal me half time. My dad suggested the Rifleman from all the right moves. I don't remember that quarterback at all in that movie.
Speaker 1:You texted your dad for help on this.
Speaker 2:I was just telling him what I was doing.
Speaker 1:And he's got into it and he's like the Rifleman.
Speaker 2:And I was like, okay, all right. And then I was like I don't remember him doing anything of note in that movie. Dad, you've got both quarterbacks from Remember the Titans, but I feel like we've delved into the Titans.
Speaker 1:You got Sunshine and the Revren Rev Rev. He's injury prone, though he's injury prone, that's true Might as well. Just take Paul Walker from Morsley.
Speaker 2:Blues with a broken leg, or you got Uncle Rico sitting right there. It's literally built off of all just talk, so I can't in good faith take Uncle Rico.
Speaker 1:I mean he claims he could throw a football over those mountains. That's true.
Speaker 2:Now, okay, my choices come down to three people Paul Kru from Longest Yard, the original Bert Reynolds, but I feel like he's not a great leader until he's forced to be in that position to kind of get him out of the situation he's in. So it really comes down to Paul Blake from Necessary Repness. Scott Bacula, who's got a cannon for an arm, it's true, but I need leadership, corey. And who better than Shane Falco from the replacements?
Speaker 2:I can't fault you there, you can't fault me it was really hard not to take one of the key on news Because I really feel like you're getting both by cannon. That's kind of yeah, two degree, but yeah, I mean he's the he once he's in the mode and he's back into the football field like he takes his position seriously, he loves his teammates, he bonds them all together and he's able to come back and win the game even when odds are stacked against him.
Speaker 1:I just want you to do me a favor. I need you to at some point text your dad and ask him why riflemen? Because even if you Google riflemen all the right moves nothing shows up. I don't know, it's not. It's just pictures of Tom Cruise and Chris Penn.
Speaker 2:Right, it's Walter Briggs is the rifleman, yeah, he doesn't even have a picture on IMDB.
Speaker 1:I have no idea, so I just need your dad to tell me.
Speaker 2:maybe it was the name, the name.
Speaker 1:He's just a pretty good name. Yeah, he's like the rifleman. Maybe your dad tried to get that going when he was in high school. It got me the rifleman.
Speaker 2:My dad's nickname in high school was troll. Okay, so if that tells you anything, all right fair. Little bit of the grow all lower for you there. All right, but yeah, shane Falco, so I'm going with Corey.
Speaker 1:I can't fault it. It's true, it's a good pick, it's an incredible pick. Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2:Okay, I'm going to go with the buddy. Yeah, that's everybody. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Do you want to run down your team and I run down my team, or?
Speaker 2:do you want to run down both? Sure, yeah, I have both here.
Speaker 1:Okay, all right, cool Cool. Do you want to run down mine? Yeah, okay, put down yours right quick while I open up Google, I can run both, so it's no big deal. Well, I mean, I kind of want to say my team Okay, all right, okay, all right, okay, my goodness.
Speaker 2:So for my team, for this Super Bowl special draft team that we're putting together of movie characters, for the cheer captain, I got Buffy Summers. Playboy Christie Swanson, I got Jumbo Fumiko. From the replacements on the defensive line, I got O W Shaddock from North Dallas, 40. Mike. Head coach will be Jimmy McGinty, played by Jean Hackman. Of the replacements, assistant coach is Bill Yoast.
Speaker 2:On the defensive side, from remember the Titans defense, I somehow got Bobby Boucher from water boy Adam Sandler himself and I pulled Vonte Mac, played by Dwayne Davis in the program Excuse me, special teams, we both picked Tom Hanks. As for scump Kicker, got Lucy Draper from necessary roughness, tight end cheeseburger Eddie from the longest yard in 2005. Running back one Booby Miles from Friday night lights, running back to Darnell Jefferson from the program played by Omar Epps Ryder, see, from one Rod Tidwell from Jerry McGuire, wide receiver to airbud. That's the pick of the draft right there, solid, no, no regrets on that whatsoever. And my quarterback number two is Shane Falco from the replacements, keanu Reeves, and my quarterback one Steven Willie Beeman from any given Sunday, played by Jamie Foxx.
Speaker 1:I feel like you screwed up there with the quarterbacks. I feel like Willie Beeman needs to be QB two and he needs to be under the vet. That is Shane.
Speaker 2:Falco, he's too hot headed but we're talking about it. Are we talking about like playing a whole season or like a game against each other here?
Speaker 1:Like a season Okay.
Speaker 2:That's what I usually the games are. Usually these movies are about like one game, we're going for it. Talk about like the best of times, the old dads, maybe you're together, just for one game that they regret from high school. Now you're just talking about the Robin Williams. Yeah, yeah, best of times, isn't that what it's called? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:It's like Russell and Robins. Neither of them got another, I'm got drafted.
Speaker 2:Neither got drafted, didn't, didn't see enough footage to.
Speaker 1:It's true.
Speaker 2:It's true. All right, Corey, who do you got?
Speaker 1:All right, my coaching staff. My head coach is Tony Diomato from any given Sunday, and his assistant coach will be his former quarterback, jack Rooney, okay. Dennis Quaid Okay. He will, I think, in two years, get a job.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, For sure.
Speaker 1:You know my cheerleader Becky the icebox O'Shea, in case I need to tag her in.
Speaker 2:One of my players goes to injuries happened.
Speaker 1:My kicker is Gus the mule from Gus. Naturally we both have animals, At least we both at least we both.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we both did.
Speaker 1:Yeah, animals, my special teams. And again, this is not an inappropriate joke, is for a scum we both draft, force gum because he's the only fictional special teams player we knew. My line is Billy Bob, barcy Blues and Louie last, remember the Titans Perfect.
Speaker 2:It's a big old lot of heart. A lot of heart on the heart and a lot of body yeah.
Speaker 1:The quarterback is well protected. Maybe slow, but well protected.
Speaker 2:My defense is.
Speaker 1:I took Charles Jefferson as linebacker from remember the fast times of Richmond. Uh.
Speaker 2:Ridgemont High yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, remember the Titans fast times.
Speaker 2:We're talking about a lot of twister, yeah.
Speaker 1:And then I pulled in Benny the jet Rodriguez from baseball as my cornerback, my two two sport player as my unstoppable cornerback. My tight end is the death. But full of heart, brian Murphy, my team is all heart. People are rooting for my team. Oh, my gosh, my air. But how can they root against me? I have a mule. Um, my running back to is spike from little giants, as my running back one will be. Make it from the longest stard Adam Sandler version. Yes, my wide receiver two is Johnny Walker. We're moving in from quarterback when he gets drafted into size, just doesn't. He's just not going to be quarterback in the pros. Um, and that's from Johnny, be good. My wide receiver one is Deacon Moss, also from the longest yard Sandler version, a quarterback. Two is John Moxley, who will be playing under my QB one, stan Gable, from Revenge of the Nerds.
Speaker 2:Okay, and there it is, cory. Those are our teams, my team wins.
Speaker 1:I don't know I'm debating this. I don't know, cory, I don't know, I'm not good at this. No, you have a dog. Every time he catches the ball. I don't know how he doesn't down himself. He has to run on four legs. I don't know what he's holding the ball with his mouth a football?
Speaker 2:There's no rules.
Speaker 1:that says it Can't play.
Speaker 2:Unhinges jaw Probably Listen. Many dogs sacrifice themselves for that movie.
Speaker 1:We're about to end the episode. We're going to Google golden retriever because I want to know I catches the ball and runs.
Speaker 2:It's movie magic Cory. That's how it works. I need to know.
Speaker 1:So, um, well, that's okay. So that's our draft. Feel free to weigh in.
Speaker 2:We'll see who you think would win.
Speaker 1:Match up. Let's just say this is the Super Bowl of fictional quantum Rikas, the Quantum Bowl, the Quantum Bowl. And then tell us any snubs we left off.
Speaker 2:That's true. We definitely spend on people, for sure.
Speaker 1:I mean, Scott Bakula is not even suiting up.
Speaker 2:That's true. It's kind of a trap. Well, he's going to jump to another time probably he's on a 13.
Speaker 1:He just lost the playoffs. He's Josh Allen, really great quarterback, just can't get there. Stan Gable and William Beaman are just in his way.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:All right so, but thank you for listening. Enjoy the Super Bowl. I hope your favorite sports ball team wins.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Nick, could you written for Niners or Chiefs?
Speaker 2:Niners are kind of boring.
Speaker 1:Let's go, let's go for the. You hate dynasties, I hate you, I do. You hate franchises.
Speaker 2:If they win this, yeah, if they win this game, they're definitely a dynasty. And then I'm allowed to hate them. Hate them, I feel like.
Speaker 1:I'm kind of the opposite. I'm more like I try to appreciate dynasties. Why I'm in them.
Speaker 2:That's fair.
Speaker 1:Like I rooted for Tom Brady to win. That's a buck in ear. I was like I just want to see it. Well yeah, I just want to appreciate him while he's playing football.
Speaker 2:It's like you want to Jordan to win on the Wizards, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and it's just like it's my home, so I hope he wins like six of them, just so I can say it's hot. That's fair and it's like I don't. George Kittle sucks. I hate George Kittle.
Speaker 2:So get out of here.
Speaker 1:So I hope the Niners lose. I hope Taylor Swift gets her Super Bowl it's going to be magical, corey, and I hope she claims it as a Super Bowl. Who's your halftime?
Speaker 2:Who's our halftime performance for the Quantum Bowl? For us, not Metallica.
Speaker 1:It's Weird, all Yank of the Week and all the people he parodies shows up for their 30 seconds. Love it.
Speaker 2:I sign a petition every year to give that as the halftime show.
Speaker 1:Ok, all right it says it hasn't worked yet.
Speaker 2:I'm down for it.
Speaker 1:All right, well, enjoy the Super Bowl if you watch it. If you don't watch it, enjoy whatever you enjoy. So, but thank you for listening.
