The Georgia Bulldogs versus the Alabama Crimson Tide. Yes, what you're seeing is real. This is the Madden 24 college football mark. A team of incredibly talented developers brought NCAA football back to Madden 24 since EA is taking their sweet time.  It's complete with uniforms, stadiums, a full depth chart. And recently I re-ran the national championship with Washington versus Michigan and at a very high request, please dad. We've got Georgia versus Alabama today. I won't waste your time. Let's have some fun. First things first, I gotta see what these rosters look like. We'll play five minute quarters on simulation all Madden difficulty in Alabama's stadium. Now obviously this is just a mod so there's a few glitches here and there but overall it's really incredible what this team was able to do. EA wants absolutely nothing to do with modding so the fact that they were able to get it done is really, really impressive. All right, what do we got here? So Georgia Carson Beck is a 75 overall. Yikes, that's not good. He looks horrifying too. Halfbacks are pretty mediocre for Georgia. Lad McConkey is only an 85? Dude, I thought McConkey was gonna be higher. He does have 94 speed. Ooh, I was just about to ask how this team was a 94 overall. Forgot about Brock Bowers. Brock Bowers a 99 overall, 91 speed, 92 agility. Absolute monster. 93 center, 92 right guard, 89 right tackle. So an excellent offensive line and then on defense is where they've gotta have a ton of monsters. McKell Williams, Stackhouse, you got CJ Allen. Dumas Johnson is a 96 overall at middle linebacker. Menden's an 87. Corners, Kamari Laster's a 95. Malachi Starks is a 97. And Javon Buller's a 96. There's no fly zone on Georgia. What about Alabama? Caleb Downs is an 80. Jalen Key's an 82. Kool-Aid McKinnon's three. He's a 96 overall.  Arnold's a 92. Dallas Turner a 90. Yonte Lawson's an 86. Chris Braswell's an 84. Kenan's an 85 at D-Tackle. Otis is an 89. Let's take a look at the Bama offense. JC Latham is a 96. Deer and Dow Court's an 89. Glucklin's an 86. Booker's a 91. Elijah Pritchett is an 84. CJ Dupree, 96 tight end. They've got depth at tight end to 88, 87. Best wide receivers, Jermaine Burton, 87 overall with 95 speed. Something tells me he's not Asian in real life. It's just a hunch. McClellan's a 94 at half back. And Jalen Milrose only an 83. I guess that kind of makes sense. He's got 90 speed though.  I'm gonna be playing as Georgia in the first half and I'll play as Bama in the second half. My goal is to take a big lead with Georgia in this first half though so that I gotta kinda come back. All right, there's the boy Brock Bowers. He's a 99. We gotta feed him all game. Big stiff arm, 18 yards. Second and 10. Oh, I did not mean to hand that off. Shoot. Third and 11. What do you got Carson Beck? Oh, there's a curl route. Oh, Carson Beck cannot connect right there. This is gonna be a punt for Georgia on the opener. All right, let's see what Jalen Milrose got. We're gonna play this flip. This is my favorite way to play it. It's gonna go out short to the tight end. Nice gang tackle. I like that. Georgia's safeties are nasty. I'm gonna play Bullard here in the cover four. Throw over the middle is caught. Bama's moving it boys. I'm hopping on Dumas Johnson. It's an RPO. Get out, get out. Georgia is taking it to us right now. All right, we're going on Walker. First and 10. This is my zone right here. Milrose gonna take off and get laid out. Let's go. Second and seven. I got this. Oh, the big six. He's gonna take this all the way home. That was huge. Hey, the punt was the right call. We're going for two, baby. Give me a block this time. No. All right, we're back on defense. First and 10. Is this a handoff? Milrose, if you pre-play adjustments, I see him. I see him. Nice tackles, boys. Second and five. Hang out. This is our zone. Throws, caught. Ooh, broken up. All right, let's send a blitz now, coach. Let's pressure Milrose. Come on, Milrose. Ooh, what a great find. And that's just barely across the first down right there. Looking like a run here. It is right side. I'm behind it. Great cut.  McClellan's going off here. Staying on Malachi, Starks here, potential handoff. Play action. Got a bail. Got a bail. Intercepted. These Georgia's safeties are something else. All right, we're just going to go four verticals here. See if there's a seam. I see Lad McConkey. Carson Beck, this is not a legacy game. You are getting carried by the Georgia defense right now. Sounds like a Carson Beck game, actually. Let's go McConkey. Let's keep it simple for the boy. McConkey, nice move. Gotta make it easy for Carson Beck. Simple concept here. Very simple concept. Gotta step up back. Nobody's open. Pocket collapses. All right, let's look at Edwards out the backfield. Maybe not. Carson Beck's in trouble again. Gun bunch, verticals, a classic. Third and 23, here we go. Rock Powers is open in a seam, he's caught. Fourth and two from the 34. We got a great offensive line. Take us home, good cut. Beautiful running. Milton's got six, that's huge. All right, first and 10. McConkey, I see you. The linebackers don't. McConkey's got it. All right, let's try a slip screen to Kendall Milton here. Oh, it's a blitz. What a time to go slip screen. Kendall Milton, great juke. Oh, what a time to run that. Let's go with a draw play. Let's see what we got. Draw, 73, are you out of your mind? Can we see that again? He put that man in the blue 10. All right, here we go. Smash mouth football. Georgia Bama, eye formation. Trying to get to the edge. We're staying in eye formation. Great push, great push. That's too easy for Georgia right there. 13 is zero, now on defense. I'm back on Malachi Starks. This is the guy. Let's bump Jermaine Burton. Oh, that's a handoff. Damn, McClellan is gashing his stuff. Back on Malachi Starks. What do you got, Milrow? Play action, throws low. Oh, I'm supposed to be there. I whiffed the tackle. First and 10, Jalen Milrow has been an interception machine. They've been putting together good drives too. He just keeps throwing picks. Yeah, he just keep throwing it like that. These are two of the best tight ends college football. Just duking it out right now. I'm on 78. Try and get home to Milrow. Hey, Ingram Dawkins. I don't know that last name, but hey. Nice work, third and two. Short pass, broke the tackle. Dude, Jermaine Burton's an animal. First and 10, here we go. I'm rushing with Williams. Oh no, he's motioning out. Just kidding, I'm dropping back. Dumas Johnson right in the middle. Bama's putting together an excellent drive right now. Milrow doesn't like the pressure. Second and five. Maybe he does like the pressure. Not in the end zone yet. First and goal, guess run up the middle, let's go. Clog it. Clog it. There's one red zone stop. Can we get one more? Is this a pass? Is this a pass? It is. Throws quick, padded down. Wait a minute. No way we stuffed him on third and goal, right? I'm on Walker, they're running it. Here we go. Damn. We gotta put up a touchdown here cause I'm switching over to Bama half. It can't be a close game when I switch. Gonna go mesh spot here.  Carson Beck legacy! There's no way he just stepped up and hit that on the run. 13 seconds left, throw of the century. Gotta step, no. Doing all that talk and we go down here. Hey, field goal's actually huge here. Eight seconds, still got a timeout. I'm going Maconkey! Why, I just did the Carson Beck's throw of a lifetime just to get intercepted. All right, we take over as Bama down by six. I can't forget just how fast Milrow is escaping the pocket. No way, Jalen Milrow! This is what people think Lamar is like. When people call Lamar a running back, that's what they're talking about. Look at the pre, great ball! Oh my God, Jalen Milrow, who are you? We gotta go read option, dude. This backfield is too nasty. Shovel option, it's actually a triple option technically. Never in my life have I ever seen that happen.  It lasers back to Milrow and you know what's crazy? The fumble was because Malachi Starks came and punched it out. The fumble was unrelated. Also, that's not a fumble. He's got two knees on the dirt and possession of the ball. That was the craziest play I've ever seen in my whole life.  All right, I'm gonna try and replicate that. I don't think I could replicate that, even if I tried low key. Pitch it? Oh no, I can replicate it. Yeah, I guess the pitch is broken in this mod. Jalen Milrow, Jalen Milrow, you're literally a running back. Fourth and seven, we're running it for seven yards! McClellan, he's got it! It's only crazy if it doesn't work. Mesh, post, wheel, first and 10. Stay clean, Milrow. Throw it to X, what a ball! Milrow's on fire. You know what, we're going for this on fourth down anyway. Let's hand this off. Make it a more manageable fourth down.  Oh, you're there. Just gotta get a little bit beautiful. Gun doubles, read option. Let's see if they bite. We gotta make the read here. First and goal, he bites. Jalen Milrow is gonna walk this in. All right, now it's time to play a little Alabama defense. Where's Kool-Aid McKinstry? Where's Kool-Aid? This is not Kool-Aid. Good tackle. Kool-Aid, maybe. Oh, that's a handoff.  Third and three. Oh, that's on me. Oh, broken up fourth and three.  Now you're gonna lose this game, George. You can't be puntin' here. First and 10, back on offense. This is gonna be a diabolical Georgia run game. Going back to the read option. Let's see if they sit. He does it. He bites. Milrow! Dude, Milrow does not fumble. I like this guy. All right, let's give it to McClellan. Oh, against the nickel defense. This is free up the middle if we get the blocks. There it is. We got to that safety, too. There was a really good chance to take that all the way. We're gonna go with a wide zone run here. We're asking a lot out of our wide receivers. Oh, look at that. Look at the vision. I'll pretend like I meant to do that. 10 rushes, 50 yards and a touchdown. If it ain't broke, you don't fix it. We're going with a counter run here. See if we can catch him sleepin'. Got dragged forward, though, to inches. That's nice. I don't know who Bama's fullback is, but I know he's good for a yard. Let's go, baby. Play action. This is so risky. Oh my God, he's there. Is he? Is he? Cuts! Oh my God, it came down with a hit. Bama's gonna steal this game. Hand off to the edge. Amazing blocks. But I couldn't do anything with it. That's on McClellan right there. That's on me and McClellan. Jaylen Milrow keeping it simple. Oh, RB was wide. This game is not over. We've got one more hand off here. Oh, if you can take this, Miller. Fourth and 10. We can definitely take the field goal, but there's gonna be a little bit of clock left here. Let's make sure we, oh, that is not a good kicker. Oh my God, I think I missed this. Okay, we still gotta use the entire clock, but I'm pretty sure I missed this. This is classic SEC football.  Gonna get as much clock out of it as we can, and that's a shame kick. Georgia has no timeouts, but they have 19 seconds to get in field goal range and drill this field goal. All right, I'm on Kool-Aid McKinstry. We got a clamp up here. That was a gigantic mistake right there. What do they got? He wants the middle. Brown. Ooh, Carson Beck. You don't got the time to be doing that, buddy. Peyton Woodring wants it on the 33 for a 50-yard field goal. Here we go. He's gotta go deep. He's gotta. Where are you throwing? No way, that's caught. That was a dot. That was actually such a good ball. Third and 10, it's Hail Mary now. He's gotta go. Where are you going, Carson Beck? Carson Beck, do you even want to win? All righty McKinstry, get back, buddy. Carson Beck is gonna put everything he's got into this check down. He can't play. No disrespect whatsoever, but I'm sorry to call tell everybody the truth that man cannot play. 14 to 13, a low scoring. Georgia Bama game. Let's look at the player sets. This was not a QB duel. I don't know if you guys watched the Washington versus Michigan game, but that was a QB duel. Not so much here. 60.2 QBR 53 for Carson Beck. Two interceptions in one. And Jaylen Morrow got hurt too. McClellan 51 yards in a touchdown. Milrow 33 yards in a touchdown on the ground. Edwards had one on the ground. There was a lot of good defense though. Malachi Starks was insane. Most tackles in the game. A TFL, an interception. Lasseter had a TFL. Terry Arnold with an interception. Everett had the pick six, I believe, or no, is Malachi Starks actually had the pick six. Defense wins championship, I guess. Just kidding.  All right, boys. Hey, this mod is literally so sick. I just wanted to make sure that I got you guys another game. Georgia Bama. Hope you guys enjoyed. Absolute blast. Yeah, I'll see you guys in the next video. Thanks for watching. Peace.


This is covering the spread part of the Fandall podcast network. I Don't think we could have asked for a much better Sunday football than what we got yesterday We got a competitive game for bucks versus lions and then to cap things off bills She's living up to the hype to the best games we've seen those teams play this entire year and to see another battle between those two very fun teams was a true Delight had the good game on Saturday to 49ers Packers get to watch Lamar Jackson workers magic in the first game. It was an awesome weekend It's that's up for a conference championship round where I like all four teams I think that all four teams that are here deserve to be here. They play well this entire year They got good offenses that are fun to watch some really fun defenses, too So pretty pumped about this weekend's game We're due for today's break down both those games outline what my numbers say about the two matchups Let you know where I see value for the conference championships over at Fandall Sports Book welcome on into covering the spread That's right here on the Fandall podcast network and Fandall research. My name is Jim Sonnis I am a managing editor of digital media for Fandall research here to preview the conference championship scheme and let Championship games let you know where I see value for this week over at Fandall Sports We'll dive in and break down both those games individually here in just one second First a reminder to make sure you're subscribed to covering the spread wherever you get your podcast tomorrow Ryan Williams will swing by We'll talk about some futures talk about the Super Bowl markets and then break down Super Bowl MVP stuff as well Get his thoughts on these games this weekend We got more stuff coming up this weekend with a doctor at Feng breaking down the games on Thursday player props with the JJ Zachary's on Friday all right here in the covering the spread podcast seeds So make sure you're subscribed wherever you get your podcast You're like what you hear leave us a five star rating on Apple podcast or Spotify or thumbs up on the Fandall YouTube page You can also find us over on Fandall TV plus when it comes to the NFL playoffs You've got to win one game at a time But when you bet the NFL playoffs on Fandall one game can mean a lot of wins Fandall America's number one sportsbook has all your favorite bets like the money line and spread and then there's all sorts of Prop bets like quarterback passing yards or who will score the first touchdown plus every day There is an NFL playoff game Fandall is giving all customers a no-sweat same game parlay That means when you combine all your bets for a chance at a bigger payday You'll get bonus bets back if your SGP doesn't win Make every moment more with Fandall an official sportsbook partner of the NFL must be 21 plus in present and select states Minimum three leg parlay required refund issued as non-patrable bonus bets Which expire seven days after a seat max refund $5 unless otherwise specified Restrictions apply see terms that sportsbook dot Fandall dot com Fandall is offering online sports wagering in Kansas under an agreement with Kansas Dark Casino LLC gambling problem call 100 gambler Orphous a Fandall dot com slash RG in Colorado, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, New Jersey, Ohio Pennsylvania Illinois, Tennessee, Virginia and Vermont call one hundred next step or text next step to 533 4 to in Arizona 1 8 8 7 8 7 8 9 7777 or visit ccpg.org Slash chat connect it one hundred nine with an Indiana one hundred five two two forty seven hundred in Wyoming, Kansas Or visit KS gambling health commie, Kansas one eight seven seven seven seven zero stop in Louisiana Visit MD gambling health Oregon, Maryland one hundred gambler net in West Virginia Let's take a look now at the first game on a Sunday That is each chiefs at the Ravens right now Fandall sportsbook The Ravens are three and a half point favorites even money on the minus three and a half The plus three and a half in the cheese side is minus 122 total in this game is at 44 and a half right now at Fandall sportsbook I've currently got 10 miles per hour wind projected for this game out in Baltimore That keeps the total pretty low for me as do the defenses frankly I love both these offenses. They're both very fun to watch But I think these two passing defenses might be the best in football I think the Browns would be up there, but like the cheese are sneakily At least it's hot five passing defense with where things stand right now So it's not a disrespect to the offenses as much as it is an appreciation of how good both of these defense They're playing right now This game does not project like a shootout. I've got it The total is 44 and a half at Fandall. I've got a forty three point five if we're to creep up during the week I'd be willing to bite honestly Probably not gonna cross through more key numbers because 45 and 46 not huge key numbers by to me next Next one up there is 47 if we're to get to 47 it'd be an easy under for me, but I might consider it 46 to honestly, but not sure we get that and Probably laying off the total in this game on the cheese side We've gotten to Patrick Mahomes best games this entire year during the playoffs and that Dolphins game He averaged point two five passing net expected points per drop back that of course is number fires EPA metric and 0.07 is league average Mahomes against the Dolphins point two five and that was at the time his best mark since week 12 But against the bills last night. He was at point three one so to playoff games to respectable but banged-up defenses and They played very well It kind of does seem even when you count for the injuries as if the chiefs have Cured a lot of their ills that they had offensively and the running game is very effective right now So if you're talking about this from a matchup perspective against Baltimore They're gonna have more answers for this Baltimore defense and what the Texans did because they can run the football and the Texans Very much cannot so I love watching Mahomes It's reminded us how good he can be this post season It's been a delight to have that version of Mahomes that version of this offense. I should say back in our lives But the Ravens are doing the same thing against the Texans the Mar Jackson was a demon as a rusher And if he does if he does decide to run he does decide to be aggressive Then this offense can reach a new level of upside And he's more willing to do that in the playoffs where he's not worried about Preserving himself for these exact games. It is win or go home And we saw the impact of that against the Texans where when he is willing to run and be aggressive there It can make this offense Look really really good. They may get Mark Andrews back this week. I honestly don't care a ton about that personally He's solid, but he's also not a big needle in the mover for me So not a huge concern there personally Want to see on Marlon Humphrey if he's able to come back after missing last week's game So two really fun offenses two very good defenses should be a blast of a game to watch Spread is a three and a half right now It's even money to lay that with the Ravens which says to me we may see this game get to three Which is a more likely move for this game than a getting to four So if you want to bet Baltimore on the spread and lay the points, I'd hold out I want to push on three if I'm gonna if I'm gonna do that So I'd hold out see if you can get a three which I think we will potentially later on this week And especially given I expect a pretty low scoring or relatively low scoring game every half point does matter So I'd hold off you want to have Baltimore see if you can get the three later on this week And despite how much I love the cheese and as much as it hurts me I do show value in the Ravens in this game I had them as a four point seven point favorite right now if it were to get to three That's enough where I would bite in and lay the lay the points, but I also show value in the Ravens money line That's a minus 172 right now the implied odds there 63.2% so keep that lodged in the back of your mind here for a second But I show value in the Ravens spread and willing to bet that we'll circle back to what that means In a bit but for the spread specifically if you want to bet that I'd be patient and see if you get a three Later on this week now again keep mine the Ravens money line It just moved to 174, but still potentially a value there Let's talk about the Lions and the 49ers right now at faddle sportsbook the 49ers are six and a half point favorites total in this game is 50 and a half right now at faddle sportsbook over there is minus 115 Right now biggest question mark is Devo Samuel I'm kind of assuming he will not go Adam Schefter reporting this morning that Samuel about 5050 to play in this game I'm guessing we're not gonna know until Sunday.  He'll be limited Friday And then we'll get a shifty bomb maybe on Saturday night, although even that is kind of doubtful I've got it mark is out right now given that it's a shoulder He had the same he had a shoulder injury earlier on this year missed two games as a result That's not a hundred percent out things will play out But just keep in mind that I'm assuming right now as if Devo Samuel will not play in this game When speed to Santa Clara five miles per hour That's more normal for this venue than what we saw last week where there was some wind There was some rain don't see rain the forecast right now though that could change I had the over for that game which did not work out finished on 45 points I had over 50 in that one, but I want to go back to the over here once again I have it at 52.9 right now the pace in this game will not be high because the 49ers are very slow But Detroit is at least faster than the Packers are that was two of the slowest teams of football I thought the over was still the right play, but They were two pretty slow teams paces above average for Detroit and their defense encourages Teams to throw the ball against them. That's good for over is to see they're going to be a passing completion or the clock Will stop so I think we're gonna see the Niners be a bit more pass-heavy here I do think the Lions will be able to put up some points on their side You they do fall behind so you're looking at this offense here And I think they'll either score some points 51 is a big key number We're getting a win on that with the over 50 and a half right now minus 115 is you know Is is you're paying a decent tax there, but overall there is enough value for me to buy it as it is So I do like the over at 50 and a half for the Lions and the 49ers And as mentioned, I do think the Lions will be able to score a bit here There are the third-ranked offense by my numbers after including data from last week San Francisco is first so keep that in mind, but Detroit it's efficient passing Let's say they get behind the concern with Jared golf as always if he's under pressure He's not gonna be as efficient which is true of all quarterbacks. We're being honest here But like it can be especially true for golf. That's a valid concern to bring up But this offensive line is pretty good And I think that they should be able to at least keep him Upright enough to still be able to move the ball and the crowd in Santa Clara is not necessarily one that will Torch and offense his ability to communicate like you'd see in Buffalo can city places like that even to Detroit Honestly, I don't think that's gonna be as big of an issue here as it will be for some other spots So I think Detroit will be able to hold there into the bargain from a scoring perspective on offense I just don't think it will be enough to win in this game. You know, I love my guide Jared golf But the model has the Niners favored by 7.1 points here That's pretty much in line with the market because the minus six and half is minus 118 So I'm not seeing enough to lay the points here at the 49ers But I also deal do feel confident in saying I will not be on Detroit in this game We're already seeing some sevens out there So if you like Detroit, you're higher than than I am I'd wait see if you get a seven later on the plus six and a half is minus 104 Right now at fan dual sports book so I'd hold off you like the Lions wait to see if you can get a seven later on You could be worried about the potential for no Debo The offense for the Niners did struggle without Debo both last week during that Packers game And earlier on this year when Debo is out they had to you know, they had two losses but in those games they also did not have Trent Williams and The offense was still efficient in those games like Brock Purdy played well in those games They just had some turnovers work against them So I think the Trent Williams factor is the bigger reason why their offense really lagged in those games And then this past week they lost Debo mid game and like they are putting Joanne Jennings in the backfield And like I think that kind of shows you how much their game plan depends on Debo's losing him mid game is going to put a Put a stop to that offense pretty quickly But they still managed to claw their way back and win that game So I'm a downgrade for the Niners in with no Debo Because it's a very good player and a very fun player to watch I just think we need to be careful not to go too far with that downgrade when factoring it in So I don't see any value in the spread right now with where it stands But I do show value on the money line That's a minus three ten plot odds are seventy five point six percent either around seventy seven percent That's enough to be worth considering. So as we go back to our previous discussion I should value on the Ravens money line It's now minus one seventy four still enough to show value there and the Niners money line is minus three ten If you to if you are to pair those two together at Vandals sportsbook You're sitting at a parlay of plus one oh eight And now I want to be careful here because there are a lot of people who when they're betting will pair Big favorites together in order to get longer odds I think that is very flawed because The parlay accounts for assuming the odds are fair and if the odds are not fair You're not going to get as big of a boost as you deserve By adding that leg to the parlay So for me to do this I want to see value in each of the individual legs because I know I'm not getting as big enough discount to justify doing it otherwise So I need to show value in both in order to do this and here I actually do show value in both So if you pair them together at Vandals sportsbook as mentioned you get to plus one oh eight the implied odds of plus one oh eights are 48 point one percent in my model I've got them at fifty one point eight percent for both of those teams to win That's a little bit less than four percentage points of value. That's enough for me to bet it However got to keep in mind. This is conference championship week and there are a lot of different ways to bet things So you could go with the two money lines together What you want to make sure you're doing though is checking this tap here at Vandals sportsbook because you'll sometimes see a Number move and it's reflected in one mark but not reflected in another. So you want to go to the Super Bowl 58 I think that's the Roman numeral number 58. Sure. We'll go with that. You want to make sure you check Every market to make sure you're getting the best number If you go to Vandals sportsbook and check out Super Bowl 58 matchup bets right now Ravens versus Niners is plus one ten. That's the exact same bet as what we had before But we're getting a slightly better odds That's going to change throughout the week because every small change in the the Ravens or the Niners money line Will influence that parlay together. So what I would do is check out both Um and see what the better bet is if you can get at least even money On the parlayed of money lines or in this map this this uh, this market where you're doing Ravens versus Niners i'd be okay taking that So Make sure you're checking all markets. Make sure you're getting the best price you can possibly get within this exact same sportsbook It's just situation where you want to make sure you're aware of all the odds because I think they just want round numbers Over here. So putting it up plus 108 wouldn't make a ton of sense So just make sure you're being aware that there are different ways to bet the exact same market And you want to make sure you are finding the correct path for doing so So again showing value in the Ravens right now showing value in the 49ers and I think that you want to Pair them together get the best route. That's at least what I'm seeing on my end personally Got to decide if you agree with that if you agree with both those links together If you agree with one but not the other that individually you can definitely go that way and step or for me personally for this week The two bets I like are the Ravens versus 49ers matchup in the Super Bowl Which is plus 110 if annual sportsbook and then the over on 50 and a half at minus 115 for the lions and the 49ers But overall, I think we should have two really really fun games. Those teams have been juggernauts this whole year So The best I love jerry golf and patrick mahomes and it's going to stink through it against them I do think that is the the right value play for this weekend Let's dig in now and recap what we had last week here on the show Of course more discussion around the conference championships coming up later on this week with our Chow the ryan tomorrow or chat with dr. Ed fang on thursday and of course to jj on friday as well But let's recap recommendations here from last week on the show beginning with dr. Ed fang Who was with us on thursday breaking down all four games you can find ed on twitter at the power I could check out his work at the power rank dot com ed's one bet where he saw good value for this week Wasn't the cheese plus two and a half which is even money at fan dual sportsbook And of course the cheese won that game outright. So good call by ed liking the cheese against the bills I I like the bills in that game initially. I was hoping I'd get minus 110 never got there though It's data minus 122 the entire week for the bill side. So never got to a spot where I could pull the trigger personally and That turned out okay So being stringent in price shopping being disciplined with making sure you're getting the best number did benefit me there So and ed was on the right side of this one. So cheese plus two and a half and even money a winner for ed We had jj zack racing on with us on friday to talk some player props find jj on twitter at late round qb Check him out at late round dot com and the late round fantasy football podcast and jj's magic with touchdown bets came back to us In the conference championship week. He had three touchdown bets that he liked Those were adult and concave at plus 270. Isaiah likely had plus 200 and tucker craft at plus 500 Two of the three won both likely and craft scored Likely only a couple catches but hey, you don't need it more than one to catch a touchdown bet And then craft scored at five to one despite a very very tough matchup JJ liked the route numbers for craft the previous week and those held firm here again So got the two winners there no win with concave to plus 270 But uh, obviously a profit via the other two two yardage bets were patrick mahomes over 26 and a half rushing yards Minus one and 14 finished with 19 there from a home So no win there and then he had rishad white under 53 and a half rushing yards minus 114 White finished with 55. So uh a couple losses there for the yard and stuff But the touchdown bets more than made up for it. So good calls by jj there once again The touchdown magic has returned find jj on twitter at late round qb We talked to me pl on friday with austin cast confide him on twitter austin cast He is a senior editor us editor for us. You're a fan of research The first one for austin was the brentford money line, which is minus 115 That was a tight match back and forth brentford was tied For a long portion of that game and then scored late to get the win at minus 115 So winner there for austin also on saturday He had bukayu sasaka at minus 125 to score or assist and This team went nuts and at one point saka was credited with an assist in this game But that goal is rated later ruled to be an own goal. So the assist was reversed They put up a lot of points, but saka not unfortunately not involved So couldn't get the winner there a bit of a tough one to have it be switched to an own goal In this out on the assist score or assist prop there for saka Final one was sheffield united money line at plus 240 and they gave it a run man They were they were I think tied One one and then they went down to one they even equalized it to to get to get it to two two But then couldn't get the winner across So it was a draw which means the loss because this was a three-way money line where a tie Was an option so couldn't get there a plus 240 But hey, they were competitive gave it a run for sure So a good call by austin but no win there So one and two week overall for match week 21 for austin including last week's recommendations four and two so Good calls by austin across match week 21. We're going back here on the show again on friday One and one week for me here on the podcast. I had a couple of totals I like for the saturday games got good movements, but uh only a one-on-one finish I had the texans and ravens under 45 and a half at minus 115 That went down to 43 and a half at one point closing 44 and a half and finished on 44 points So I went there for that one or might have been 45 no 44 points Yeah, 34 10 so 44 points for ravens 49 or for ravens versus texans got the win with that one The loss was as mentioned before 49 versus packers I had over 50 at minus 110 went up to 50 and a half pretty quickly and stayed there throughout the entire week, but um Just couldn't get a lot of points in that game. There were some injuries, of course some Interceptions things like that, but that happens for sure I was betting the over on a high number which I'm doing again this week So you kind of know what you're getting into there, but you know a loss is a loss regardless So one and one week for me and we'll see if you can get back in the winning column this week with those two bets That is all that we have here for today on covering the spread I'm excited to talk more about these very fun games throughout the rest of this week back again Tomorrow with ryan williams taking a look at some futures And then of course more shows coming up throughout this week to get those as they are posted Make sure you're subscribed to covering the spread wherever you get your podcast You can also find us on the fandom youtube page and over on fan dual tv plus if you like what you hear Leave us a thumbs up on youtube or give us a five star rating and have a podcast or over on spotify You can find me on twitter at jim saunas I am on threads at jim dot saunas and you can follow fan dual research on twitter at fan dual research Want to thank you all for tuning in for today. Good luck to you your bets across monday back again tomorrow talking some futures with ryan williams This has been covering the spread right here on the fan dual podcast network


Your scribes are going to receive a yellow sheet here and this is going to be our task. We are going to answer a few questions based on this text we've just read. And as a team, we're going to work together to make some claims about Thomas Payne and this text and back it up, of course, with evidence we find in the excerpt that you read. Who's our scribe? Ashley. And everybody's got one. So I'm going to give everybody else their own copy but as we look there are three questions that we're going to ask your team to answer. The first is, together decide based on what you've read, do we think Payne is most likely a patriot or a loyalist, all right? And then we're going to need to back that up, prove why you think that with evidence from this text. And then finally, question three, as a team, decide what do you think his purpose? What was the purpose of this text, of writing this pamphlet, Common Sense? All right, so we're going to take about 10 minutes right now as a team to come up with some really well thought out answers. Okay, let's go ahead and get started. We believe that Thomas Payne, the author of Common Sense is most likely a patriot or a loyalist. I think he was a loyalist. It says I have heard it assumed by some that as America have grown under her connection with Great Britain that the same connection is necessary towards her future happiness. But then it says nothing can be more false. Oh, that does make sense. So it could mean a patriot too. I was thinking he was a patriot. There is this kind of argument. So they're arguing it. Then he says we may as well assume that because a child has thrived upon milk that has never had meat, I answer that America would have grown as much and probably much more that no European power had anything to do with her. So he thinks that.


No date stands out more in the history of the LBJ Library than May 22nd, 1971. That's when dignitaries from across the nation gathered on the lawn outside for dedication ceremonies that officially opened the brand new building to the public. Design of the building, led by renowned architect Gordon Bunshaft, had been completed in 1966 and construction started the following year on the northeast corner of the campus of the University of Texas at Austin. By the spring of 1971, a little more than two years after Lyndon Johnson had left the White House, the building was ready. At the center of the dedication were, of course, LBJ himself, Mrs. Johnson and their family. They were joined by leaders of the University of Texas who saw the library as a major resource for the intellectual life of the campus. And they were joined by leading politicians and policymakers from the Johnson years, including former Vice President Hubert Humphrey and Republican Senator Barry Goldwater, who had been LBJ's opponent in the 1964 presidential race. But it was the presence of LBJ's successor, President Richard Nixon, that best indicated the importance of the event for the life of the nation. The heart of America today at this moment is in the heart of Texas, as this distinguished company so well illustrates. It is here to pay tribute to the life of a man and the life of his wife as well, who has given 40 years of service to this state and to this nation. The entire nation is indebted to you, President Johnson. President Johnson established a new standard for presidential libraries, not only with the size of his collection, about 31 million pages of documents from across his life, but also with his vow that the institution would reckon honestly and openly with American history during the turbulent years when he had held office. We're all partners in this hopeful undertaking. The people of Texas have built this library. The National Archives will manage this library. There is no record of a mistake or an unpleasantness or criticism that is not included in the files here. I do not know how this period will later be regarded in the years to come, but that's really not the point. This library will show the facts, not just the joy and the triumphs, but the sorrows and the failures too. One of the people on the stage with LBJ on that day in 1971 was Ben Barnes, a political protege of Lyndon Johnson's who served as the Lieutenant Governor of Texas during those years. What do you remember best about that day? I remember it was a warm day and President Johnson was nervous. He was almost like an expectant father in a waiting room at the hospital. I think he was worried about what reaction that Nixon was going to have to the library, whether there was going to be a big crowd or whether the crowd was going to be enthusiastic. The Vietnam War was still going on and we had had demonstrations on the campus during the war. I think he was worried about maybe an incident taking place, but it was a great day and his coloring was good that day. It was already showing on Johnson's physical appearance that he was not a well man, but that day he had rosy cheeks and a smile and a nervous smile, but yet a very broad smile. So much that has ensued at the library over the past five decades flowed from the tone that LBJ set on that day. The commitment to openness, the dedication to debate on the big issues of public concern, and the enthusiasm for education and discovery. The LBJ Library is still inspired by those same goals that LBJ laid out half a century ago.


So learning to draw blood from a model rat might be something you would do if you are trained to become an animal technician or research in a lab. So before you actually start working with live animals you need to be properly licensed and that means that you're fully trained and have past examinations to show that you actually know what you're doing when you're working with live animals. So a rat has veins that run along either side of its tail and you can see that darker colour on either side. And we have our model there so you can actually see the veins along each side. So if I get the tip of the needle in and get through the plastic and into the vein and you can kind of just feel it go pop as it gets into that vein space there. Pull back on the plunger and we should start to get a little bit of blood in there. So that's what we're going for and just gently pull that back out. So if I do that on our larger model again we're going to make sure the tip is going down, get into that nice blood vessel, pull back a little bit on the plunger and then gently withdraw the needle and cap our needle so it's nice and safe.


Heat transfer is the movement of heat from one body or substance to another by radiation, conduction, convection, or a combination of these processes. When heating a pan of water over a gas flame, for example, all three forms of heat transfer are taking place. Heat from the flame radiates in all directions. Conduction takes place with the transfer of heat from the burner to the metal pan. This heat transfer is also responsible for making the handle hot after a period of time. The water is heated by the process of convection, which is a circular movement caused by heated water rising and cooled water falling. The process of heat transfer also occurs when an object cools. The mug of hot coffee is left standing on a cold kitchen countertop. Its temperature will gradually decrease as heat is lost. The heat energy dissipates by conduction through the mug to the tabletop. By convection as the liquid rises, cools and sinks, and by the radiation of heat into the surrounding air. One way to conserve the heat of a liquid and prevent heat transfer is to place it in a thermos. The use of a vacuum chamber with silvered surfaces along with low conductive materials can greatly improve the amount of heat or cold that is lost to the surrounding environment. In between the silvered glass walls of a thermos lies a vacuum. In the case of a hot liquid, heat transfer by convection through the vacuum is greatly restricted due to the absence of air molecules necessary to facilitate the transfer of heat. The lack of physical contact between the inside and outside walls of the thermos due to this airless space also greatly inhibits the movement of heat by conduction. Heat loss by radiation is prevented by the silvered walls reflecting radiant energy back into the thermos. Some conduction of heat through the stopper and glass can be expected, but this too is limited because they are made of materials with very low conductivity. Thus the temperatures of both hot and cold liquids can be maintained by a properly designed thermos that limits the transfer of energy through radiation, convection and conduction. Heat capacity is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of an object or substance by one degree Celsius. The heat capacity of water varies depending on its phase. As solid ice, the heat capacity of water is 0.5 calories per gram for every one degree Celsius, which means it takes half a calorie to raise the temperature of one gram of ice one degree Celsius. As a liquid, water's heat capacity is one calorie per gram for every one degree Celsius, so it takes one calorie of heat energy to raise one gram of water one degree Celsius. The processes of phase change between solid, liquid and gas also require a specific amount of heat energy. The amount of energy required to change a liquid into a solid or a solid into a liquid is known as heat of fusion. The amount of heat required to change one gram of ice to water is 80 calories. Similarly, the heat of vaporization is the energy required to transform a liquid into a gas. It requires 540 calories to change one gram of liquid water into a gas. With these values, it's easy to calculate exactly how many calories of heat energy are required to transform one gram of ice at absolute zero to steam. To warm one gram of ice from minus 273 degrees Celsius to zero degrees Celsius would be 273 times 0.5 gram per calorie or about 140 calories. The phase change of one gram of ice to liquid water requires 80 calories. Then to heat the water from zero degrees Celsius to 100 degrees Celsius with the heat capacity of one calorie per gram would require 100 calories. The final phase change of one gram of boiling water to steam would require an additional 540 calories. Adding all of these values together yields 860 calories, the amount of heat energy it takes to transform one gram of ice at absolute zero to steam.


All right, okay According to this we are live and there are people here. Can you believe it? Who we got here hello from the Hildet Thanks ring here from the Hildet.

It's about the fans who are Who are passionate and who are creating their own Their own content about GI Joe and sharing their enjoyment of it So when we've got those folks doing it, you got to make sure to check them out Even if you don't like everybody or even if you don't like me.  It's a very diverse very diverse group Yeah, thank you Matt. I did have some fun with it. I had That's at least a Figure that I can have a little bit of fun with and and and thank you to To Marianne for making the the hat. Oh, hold on a second So we we were talking we were discussing What to do with this? Because I don't I can't imagine that I'll ever use it again, right? And I I do have a prop or a box for props and costumes I have a box for props and costumes But if I put this in the box, it's just gonna get crinkled up and turned into a ball of foil And what I mean, what's better about that than crinkling it up and throw it in the trash bin If I ever needed it again, I know I know who can make them If I ever needed it again, I know who can make them so Hoodie Smurf But yeah, but thank you for Mary Marianne for making this Very stylish and protective Headgear Stylish and protective so like when I'm where when I'm when I've got it on The paranoia rays not coming through at all totally totally clear-minded. It's fantastic So Hello, Chromius. I Won't hurt a feeling if you trash it.

These are from the P. O box. Thank you guys. Hello, Gussie. Thank you for being here And anybody else who's stuck in hello Matt Hershey's kiss. Yeah, see See this is like This is for that if that guy at the office who's always sexually harassing people and So like he shows up at the party and is like who wants a kiss Yeah, no, let's I won't be that guy. That's that's not that's not the purpose of this thing It's not the purpose of this the purpose of this is to prevent me from being abducted by aliens and that works But but for now I'm gonna take it off and you just keep talking you just keep typing and it's it's coming It's coming in if the electromagnetic magnetic waves are Penetrating my cranium. Hello JLS comic tinfoil cocoa. See so we see we've got the nicknames rolling already tinfoil cocoa But so I want to open these I'm opening these I'm opening these so first Again, these are from the post office. This is from Brandon Knight Brandon Knight has been a supporter of the channel for quite a long time. Thank you Brandon and I on both of these I have cut the box open Where's my knife because I don't know if there's I haven't looked inside the boxes But I also haven't looked inside the boxes to see if If there's any packaging in the box that needs to be cut, so I'll have to have that handy so Let's see what we have got from Brandon, you know, it makes me nervous open to the stuff Live on the air because one of these days one of you guys is gonna send me a box of dildos Hello Dio Soth speaking of somebody who is not a box of dildos. Hello Dio Soth and thank you for your support You know and by the way though if you one of you guys sends me a box of dildos as a joke Number one. Yeah, I'm gonna open them. I'm not that's not gonna stop me from opening them online and number two Yeah, I'm gonna keep them because of those things are expensive and if you send me a bunch of them I know what everyone's getting for Christmas. So let's see what? Let's see what Brandon said. So we've got this Oh Cool. All right Hold on. Hold on. Oh Cool, cool, cool, cool. So all right, so we've got some GI Joe parts and we've got a DVD and I Let her oh, it's a card. I want to check this and make sure that it's okay To read before reading to you. Let's see. Mm-hmm. Wow see Okay, so I think this is safe to read. So this is from Brandon Knight This is the card that he sent and once again, I do keep all of these I keep all of these Hello Christian bricks greetings Denmark from the United States Um It says dear HCC 788 that's me. Hello. How are you doing? I'm fine. Thank you for asking The weather in my town is really bad.  It looks like the planet of Hawth from Star Wars. Yikes. I hope that's cleared up. I Wonder if Cobra is messing with the weather dominator. I often suspect the same thing If I was a kid I would be playing with my Star Wars and GI Joe figures keep up the good work your pal Your Joe pal Brandon Knight And he sent some pics of the snow to Facebook Awesome. Thank you Brandon for this. I hope the weather has cleared up There probably is some weather dominator shenanigans happening. So let's let's see what we got Let's see what we got. We got we got first of all We got some Joe parts and I recognize some of these right away These are the The wings or the stabilizers from the the Skyhawk These are nice because They tend to fall off right so So thank you for that and here's another thing that tends to fall off This is the theme for this for this bag of stuff things that tend to fall off That is a missile for a faying helicopter and I've reviewed this before but just to reiterate Those tiny little slots right there. That's all that keeps it on the helicopter it these These I tell you the this is what gave me all the gray hairs This is why my hair is gray is trying to put these things on and trying to keep them on Well without knocking off more while I'm putting the others on so that so that's helpful. Thank you very much I'm going to put these back in the bag To be careful and safe and the next one also from the skyhawk is The engine engines So for those of you who remember the skyhawk has The two dual jet engines and they they tilt They clip on to a thing in the center there on this bar and then it has vertical takeoff and then it Will fly horizontally and then it'll land so so that's that's really cool. And these are in nice shape We've got the stickers and everything Lovely really really nice. Thank you Brandon and now and now for the piece the resistance We have Exo squad check this out This is I didn't have this and now I'm really curious exo squad Blast off into interplanetary action adventure with all 13 episodes from season one of the animated hit exo squad Come to DVD under attack by rogue pirate clans and the artificial human order race called the neo sapiens a Heroic group of humans band together to save their home worlds from evil With fascinating storylines and stunning animated sequences. It's a thrilling heart racing journey into New and exciting worlds. I don't know if I don't know if my heart can handle Thrilling and heart racing. I hope so. I hope this is not Brandon's attempt to murder me by overwhelming my poor ticker With excitement and and heart racing But here's here's the thing on the back Probably shouldn't show that that alien guy to Mary-Anne. She'll get turned on but This is cool. So Something to check out. This is I have not seen this. So thank you very much for that Brandon. I am going to carefully Carefully put these over here So that I can Open this big box and this big box is from Joe Fannie for and mr. S. Hello, mr. S Thank you for mr. S and thank you for watching. Thank you to to your dad for being Cool with my see look here I just like made a crack about a box of dildos and there I know that there is at least one young person Mr. S watching I apologize so What I meant was a box of dill pickles That's what I meant. One of you guys is gonna send me a box of dill pickles Oh, thank you for the super chat Rob. Dude. I'm doing a guitar music month mayhem HTC 788 and everyone shouted out loud for a music request. I've had a rad Have a rad time at Joe fest. Yes, we will have a rad time at Joe fest Music request. I've got it. Here's my music request.  That's the one. That's the one I want Paul Enka. It's a classic It's a classic. So I thank you Joe fan and mr. S now I will open this box. I have cut the top of the box open I've also marked through I marked through everybody's address so that I don't accidentally put the address on the screen I don't want to do that. So I'm opening this box and We will see what is inside. We have some packing material packing material is always always wise to have and some Additional packing material Okay, okay, okay, there's a box. There's a box sometimes. I want to make sure I haven't dropped anything Oh, I have dropped something. There's a letter. There's a letter. Oh, let me look for the letter first Look for the letter first. I gotta I gotta read this Let's see. Oh It says okay to read aloud. I thought I might have to have you guys, you know Hum along to you're having my baby while I read this, but they say it's okay to read aloud. So here we go It says dear HCC 78 hello from Joe fan 84 and mr. S. Hello How are things going fine? Thanks for asking hope they all as well pretty good I am I originally purchased this item to complete the one that I had but mr.  S enjoys the unboxing videos you do Sorry, this is incomplete. That's that's not important I was just going to give it to goodwill, but mr. S insisted to give it to you. Thank you that That is that a bit of goodwill. Thank you very much It's missing. It's well, I don't know if I should read that part because I don't want to give away What's in there because I don't I can't tell what's in there yet Missing a vest. Okay.

Look at that face sculpt That don't look like any major blood that we've had before Uh, of course, he's usually has his his helmet on so we wouldn't see the flat top, but At least you know Uh, curt russell, maybe a bit of curt russell Just slap an eye patch on him and and it's like, okay. Imagine. Okay. Imagine curt russell fell asleep Um, he's on the alien planet. He fell asleep and uh So his teammates being the jokers that they are They took a sharpie And drew a funny mustache on him and then like put a little eye patch on him So he wakes up and like I can't see through one eye What's happened to me? Get me a mirror. What what have you done?  Um, first of all when I first got them. Yes, I did uh not notice that they do have a bit of knee articulation It doesn't look like they do but they do and I guess do they I guess they don't have Yeah, I they've got a little bit of elbow too, but um the the articulation on these is a little clunky little clunky um But here here's one thing I I can appreciate The I here's one thing I can appreciate. What do you see there? What do you see there? Anatomically correct at least from the waist up see that anatomically correct Well done hasbro. Well done. He's got some accessories in here. He doesn't have the of the vest, but it's got the other things. We've got um got the the the operations manual These are throwbacks, of course to the 12 inch GI Joe figures um So that they were trying to appeal of course to the 12 inch collectors who would have been in their what probably late 30s Mid 30s at the time, you know getting back into collecting as an adult. So they wanted some product for those guys um, but they also You know wanted to tie it in with their real american hero stuff. So um So so what we got was 12 inch? Uh figures of real american hero guys now. Look at this. Look at this. Um You know what this might be a good idea, you know, um June is pride month.

So so thank you very much And thank you to everyone for your support. It really does mean a lot to me. Um, I uh We've got we've got a couple pieces of news I uh it a couple pieces of gi joe news Neither of which are necessarily big stories Um, but at least it's something and once again, I am not a news source You know, I don't do the breaking news as well as some of the other presenters So I definitely defer to those who have their finger on the pulse Of uh of gi joe, you know modern new stuff To to actually break the the breaking news Oh, don't tell me it's it's disconnected. Are we still live? Are we still live? It still says live Okay, I'm sorry. I got I got a uh A notice popped up, but this says we're live and that says we're live. So we better be live um Joe fan says he wants a flag Um And hello, uh painstoy samples. Okay, let's talk about these two Let's talk about these two news items Okay, um News items the first But the the less important one at least the less potentially big news one Um Uh Oh, hey, it's william j. Hi. Hello, william j. Nice to see you. Thank you for being here um so There was a little bit of information on the uh, the his tank the has lab his tank They had posted a somewhat cryptic message In the form of a a secret communique From agent longfellow Concerning operation hemmingway. So, um, there is some speculation On what that could possibly mean um Yeah, see what's on joe mind has the See, I don't have a news sound effect. That's why I can't do the news Um, I all I all I can do is give you the the the scuttlebutt, you know the the completely unverified rumor That's that's all I've got um, so Uh His tank art is my new uh desktop on a laptop. Yes, that's the other part of that that I was just about to get to There is some art by oliver barrett that apparently will be a panorama on the packaging looks really nice um, but there there's some speculation that the The communique may refer to a future project Um, we don't know all we know is we we got a cryptic message Um, and it's intriguing and it's probably hinting at something in the future. We know not yet what Uh, scuttlebutt is better than regular but I agree. I agree. Um Uh, jls says there was some news, uh, red, uh, that was happy about until I got to Uh, the lorenzo de uh, bonaventura part. Yes That's the other piece of news. Okay, so let's talk about this Let's talk about this. Okay um And again, I wouldn't say this is big news. I wouldn't it's potentially But it's it's really early. Um so Um, there were some comments by As mentioned lorenzo bonaventura. I really struggle to say that name um In regards to the scrapped amazon tv show for lady j um, they were working on a An amazon tv show for lady j well that fell through that didn't come about uh, that may be some fall out from the um the Well, let's call it what it is the failure of The snake eyes movie. I I don't like to use that word because as whether it's a an artistic failure is Subjective, I mean you like it. You don't like it. You thought it was okay or terrible or great That everybody will have different opinion opinions about that but as far as the box office goes that was a bomb that that one failed um And the loss of the lady j Uh show is probably a fallout for that, but there were some comments that popped up. Um indicating that after uh the After the cancellation of the show they were looking At what they had done for the pilot and perhaps reworking it into a movie. So would that be Um, yeah, it tanked it absolutely tank um So what could that mean a lady j movie? Rather than a tv show It We don't know and I don't think they know yet. They are they're talking That's the only thing that we know is that they're talking and he said something Uh to the effect that we will most likely see it That's great. What is it? Uh, hello kujo Thank you for being here kujo um So what is it? When will we see it? We don't know. Um It did get me thinking though So I like the idea of starting with a movie focused on a character and then leading into, uh, a larger um gi jo ensemble movie Which is what they were trying to do with snake eyes and I don't dislike that idea. I don't dislike that idea I think that's not a terrible idea Um, but the the thing is the snake eyes one didn't work that one didn't work. Um Um Would they try it again with lady j? um Now I I'm kind of tired of being optimistic about things and then being let down but there is a at least There there is an altered dimension. There's a universe in which I could imagine It working There are some advantages to doing Lady j Over her snake eyes, right? Lady j has less lore attached to her. Um, she does have some You know she's in the in the animated series in the comic book to an extent The the file card has some of her backstory. So she's not devoid of any Backstory or lore, but she has a whole lot less than snake eyes, which means you probably have a lot more freedom To do something with the character to expand um and A character like lady j would connect The movie to both the military aspect and the espionage aspect of gi joe. So you can get a double whammy there Um, so I I could imagine it working. I could imagine something good coming from it. Um But I I'm just I just I've had my hopes dashed so many times now that I'm just gonna I'm gonna sit on my scuttle butt and wait And see what happens um Uh a firefly says adrian policky, uh perfect for lady j. I thought adrian policky did a good job I really liked what she did um Let's get a dread knocks movie directed by george miller. Now that would be something that would be see what okay, um the idea of the um uh What to say the the the snake eyes movie um uh, yeah, uh I'm sorry the the idea of the the the tv show the idea of the the lady j tv show um, I think Is a good it's a good idea for gi joe having some kind of uh, of a tv show could Uh work better Because there are so many aspects of gi joe including like the the dread knocks Um, the zartan family, uh, you know, the dr. Meinbender and the robots and the ninjas Uh and and all of that That's a lot to try to fit into a movie, but if you had a tv show with Uh seasons and episodes you could find ways to fit that in um I would love to see the dread knocks in movie form Um, but it seems like we're pretty far away from that as it stands now another thing. I was wondering about another thing I was wondering about um is Uh, would it be a reboot or would it be a continuation of the snake eyes movie? You know, I as whatever we feel about the snake eyes movie. I'm kind of tired of reboots um At some point, you know, you just got to live with it and go forward um So Like I'd like to see whatever the next movie iteration of snake eyes um I'd like to it to be updated. I'd like it to evolve into something more recognizable. That would be really nice um But uh, I don't I don't know that I really necessarily want another reboot not another start over. Um, it's You know, just just carry on if you're starting with if you're going with lady j you don't even necessarily need to tie in very much To snake eyes if any um Maybe have scarlet in and that's your that's your tie. Maybe mention the a russia kage clan Maybe maybe encounter storm shadow or something like that, but you don't have to connect very much to uh, the snake eyes movie To have something that's in the same universe. So I I think I'm just I just They may they may just want to see uh, they may just want to put push the reset button again But I kind of hope that they don't um, let's let's Yeah, I know that that our first attempt didn't launch the way we were hoping that it would but You know, that's what we have that's we we got we got a We we got a pile of poop, right? and what do you do When life gives you poop You make poop juice So that's what I'm hoping for is the next movie. So as take that poop and make some poop juice out of it So for anybody else here. Hello. How you doing? We got about half an hour Less than half an hour to go. We are definitely not going to run over time In fact, we may end a little bit early so that everybody can Skip over to the watson joe mine show. That's going to be a special show It's a anniversary show gary god. So Great a bit of history Really awesome that that that they're doing that so Um So i'm definitely not going to run over long. I've got my eye On the clock right there. They've got my eye in the clock. Uh now. I can't see it at all I I now it's it's I can see that it's seven something And oh look at that. I can I can actually read it. Uh, so yes Um Uh, yeah, don't accept a beverage. Yeah, um, look life has given me a lot of poop Okay, and I gotta do something with it. Um We're not going long watson joe mind. We're we're not going to miss that. That's a special episode. Um, I will Now take a few minutes to refer back to the go fund me that I announced last week To get to joe fest. This is to help us cover the cost of that trip.

Look at this Look at this No, I and by the way, yes, I'm making fun of this, but it's not because I don't like it I think it's fantastic. Um It look at this is this it's gorgeous, isn't it? But look at that You know, that that that's a young kurt russell with flat top that somebody has drawn a silly mustache on and I think that's great I think that that somebody at hasbro Uh designed and made that and sculpted it and is like, yep, that's what we want Let's put that out there There we go next step profits Um, but yeah, uh fantastic.

Uh, thank you so much Uh, nobody is obligated to do anything like that. I I I'm always reluctant to even ask so um If if you don't want to then please don't if you have even the slightest reservations then please don't if you have to choose between my uh go fund me and Someone else's for instance, like uh, zazel who's doing a go fund me to uh get to Joe fest give his he has much Uh, much greater distance to go. He's got to like go go halfway around the planet to get here. So um, uh If you have to make a choice, please support others in the community before me but for those of you who have taken the Time and made the effort. I really and truly do appreciate it. Uh, so let's wrap up The last of this episode we've got um around 15 ish minutes about 15 minutes. So we'll We'll uh wrap up a little early Major blood was in fight club. Yeah Yeah, I kind of dig the look at the like Check out the the cobra on the pocket. I kind of dig that in fact. I kind of I think I want pants like this I think I need some of these. That's that's kind of cool but um Well, yeah, hey, hey, uh, hey marianne Hey marianne my next tattoo But I'll just take this to the tattoo guy and just like I want this one at the same place same size Give me that one right there. I think yeah, this is I feel like this is a good plan Um, joe fest, uh, so that's coming up um Joe fest, um is not in any way an official gi joe convention. It's not joe con and So it's it's it's just it's not quite the same thing. Um, I do miss joe con. I love joe con and Joe fest is I mean, it's what we have for the community That has sort of taken joe con's place. It's not the only thing that's taken joe con's place. There are other great conventions um assembly required is uh doing awesome stuff in Des Moines um The the so-called joe show which I haven't made it to yet. Uh, that's uh, that's a big deal But a lot of us do try to uh to get together for joe fest. Um, it's always in augusta georgia every year It's always in june um, and Last year. Oh, uh, thank you. Uh comic tropes. You know, uh, thank you for the super chat. He says i'm sorry I'm late.  Let's see does Uh, does shirtless major blood, uh, forgive Chris for being late. I think yes. Yes. Yes, he does. He's he says it's okay. He says it's okay um But thank you for being here chris. Um, we we have Uh discussed many things many things. Um, but right now we're talking about joe fest because I wanted to Just say a few things about it um Last year was the first time I had gone since 2019 with the pandemic. I just didn't go Uh, I missed two years and I I still feel like that was the right thing to do Uh at the time, but I really really missed Uh connecting with people and seeing friends and getting together and it how much I missed it did not hit me until I actually went last year until I actually made it and the the the sense of loss For how much we missed when we could not get together was really heavy on me. Um, I I Doing videos on youtube doing this thing that I do. It's kind of a solitary Exercise it's I am sitting behind or in front of a camera and and talking without anybody else out here Um, but when I'm actually able to meet people and talk to people That is what makes it more real that that is a connection that I don't get Just sitting, uh in front of a camera. So Uh that really meant a lot to me and I think that's why I'm looking forward to Going this year is that this is it's like a family reunion. It's it really is it's like catching up with with old friends. Um I was able to see some folks at assembly required. So it wasn't it won't be an entire year Um that I haven't seen some of these friends But you know for a lot of them. This is the one chance a year that I get to see them and say hi, so Um, if you're able to make it there, I hope you will if you do make it there Please say hi. Please find me. I won't have a table. I won't have a table this time How are the vendor prices at specialized conventions like that it varies quite a bit That's one of the things that I'll try to get for you. I didn't do like a a comprehensive Convention video last year and that's something I'd like to do this time In fact, I've committed to do it and Marianne has said that she will help me. Thank you But we'll we'll try I'll try to get you a sample of like what to expect on the vendor floor That's another thing that I would like to do But uh If you're there, please find me. I will not have a table this time Although I've had a table the last couple of times that I was there selling art and stuff um While that that has an upside that definitely has some positives um The downside is that a lot of times I'm anchored to the table when I would like to be out there What I would like to be mingling when I would like to be meeting people and chatting and talking So I'm hoping that not having a table this time will give me a bit more freedom You know a bit more freedom to get out there and and say hi to people Oh, Marianne's going good. I'll see you later Marianne. Talk to you later. Uh, I even though you will not be here I know how to reach you I do but uh, good night dear. Good night. Um But uh, yeah, my hope is that I'll have a bit more freedom to to move around and meet people um um Oh, I thank you zbr. Yes the the articulation The articulation is not always the same Sometimes it's a little different sometimes, but it's usually the same most of the time um If you have a table on wheels, you don't have that's what I you know Why the table on wheels what what the equivalent of v would be like one of those to hover around so those little scooters That's the older folks, uh drive around on Um, those little mobility scooters. That's what I need That's what I need. I need a mobility scooter. That's it. Um Next go fund me is for a mobility scooter. That'll that'll solve that problem. Uh, but yeah, I Really, I'm looking forward to seeing everybody Um, I don't know exactly where or when we're gonna do it, but we need to figure out a A day and a time to for everybody to get together At a specific place maybe for lunch one of these days one of the days of the show that maybe get together for lunch Make sure we can get a place that has plenty of space for everyone Um, but we'll work on that we will work on that because I don't want to miss anyone Last year was so busy. It was so busy That um, I mean there were a few people that I was able to spend a good amount of time with and I really Enjoyed that but then there were other folks who were like we started like just passing Uh, as we were doing other things so It's it's it can be difficult. Uh, it can be difficult to Um, uh to to see everyone so I really really want to make sure that we actually get to see everyone Uh, we'll have times and places where we'll get together. I'll I'll if if we're doing something That we haven't pre-planned. I'll try to put that on the social medias So everybody will know, you know where to find us, but yeah, it'll be um, I think it'll be a really great time Um, uh, and uh, Bart is 48. He has limited articulation. I know how that feels. Um That's a table on wheels. Yeah, see Uh, make the scooter look like a cobra buzz saw see now that would get me into the finest That would get me into the cosplay if I made a a, uh, cobra buzz saw Out of a out of a mobility scooter Um, uh, and wow everybody everybody's given their ages Um, uh, scar smoke out on the river walk out back. Absolutely. Yeah, I'm I'm bringing the goods I am bringing the goods that was one of the nice moments last year And I'm hoping that we can do the same Uh, this year. So are we just doing like Uh, asl checks. Is anybody did somebody put like type a slash s slash l in the in the chat And so everybody's talking about their age. Look here.  Um But uh, but anyway Um, we are coming in on a 10 minutes and I'll tell you what I'll I'll wrap it up in five minutes Okay, I'll wrap this up in five minutes It'll still be more than a one hour show on the clock But I want to give everybody time to jump over to what's on Joe mine So you guys can watch their anniversary show Um, and uh, and I'm out of topics. I was actually concerned about getting to all the topics, but look here Uh, I made sure to say thanks to chad whose show I was on on sunday Um, I plugged the damn show for what's on Joe mind I plugged the damn show for temer and his lady j main character may Uh power comics super joe unlimited apologize for not having those guys on but they are doing a comic book for Uh, super joe, which is kind of cool that somebody's doing something with those properties. That's very nice Um, we had the his tank the cryptic announcement Well the the artwork the oliver barrett artwork that wasn't cryptic, but the other the other bit Hinting at some future thing. We got that. Uh, I covered the the movie news, which isn't a lot of news It's it's not a lot of news. That's be real. It's not a ton of news but a little bit A little bit of news. So we we talked we speculated we had a grand time um, and uh, yeah, um, I am One more thing one more thing. Um So I I've been trying to work on the next review the one that's supposed to go up on sunday Um, I have been struggling with a little bit and I'm struggling in a way that I don't usually struggle I'm having a hard time Figuring out what to say about it And maybe that's the angle that I need to take.  There's nothing it's not bad But I don't think anybody would necessarily say that it's great either um, so What do I do? I I've I've been staring at a blank page trying to write this thing So I could get it shot and get it edited and get it up Hopefully by friday for early access for patrons Um, and I'm like I can't I'm at a loss I don't I don't know what to say about it so I guess the caveat the warning that's not not the the warning is that it the next review may be relatively short um, it's been a while since I've Done a short review not just a quick shot, but the whole review is actually fairly short It's been a long time since I've done that because usually if I In in about everything I review. There's some kind of theme That comes out of that jumps out of it. It's like this is the essence of this toy This is the theme of the video. This one's just not Inspiring me. Oh, it's not the it's not the the vote the the patreon vote. That's still going Thank you for bringing that up. There is a vote going on patreon. You do need to be a supporter on patreon to vote Um, any of those it doesn't matter which one of those wins. I'll have Uh, I'll I'll have a good time with that one. I've got ideas for each of those So it doesn't matter which one wins I win On those but on the one I'm talking about the one that's gonna supposed to be up before that, right? The one that's supposed to come up this sunday I I just like I stare at the thing and it's just I'm drawing a blank It's like what do I say about that? You don't yep. That sure is what it is. So anyway, anyway, it's a fair warning The next review It would be a full review. It would be a full review But in comparison to others it may Be a little on the short side Um, because the the inspiration from these this this one is just not it is not flowing It's just not flowing. It's um Like I said, it's not bad. There's nothing but if it were bad Then then it would be easy If it were bad, it would be easy. There would be plenty to say if it were bad if it were great It would be easy. There would be plenty of things to say about why it's great. This is something that It's neither It is neither terrible nor great And I'm I'm somewhat drawing a blank, but we're working on it. We're working on I will do the best I can I will do the best I can but I am going to wrap it up. I'm going to say thank you to everyone I want to leave enough time so everybody can skip over to what's on Joe mind There is a link in the description of this video that will take you directly there So you don't have to search for it. You can just go to the link. Thank you everyone for being here I will see you all next week And until then remember the things that you're supposed to remember Don't remember the things that you're supposed to forget And I will see you next time. Bye everybody
