Clock.

[Reed Blankenship]

We limit ourselves to one bottle of wine a night.

[Cooper Dean]

Excessive drinking has a way of sneaking up on us. A few drinks, a few nights a week, it can add up and suddenly we're at greater risk for long term problems like heart disease, cancer and depression. Reason enough to rethink to drink more at Rethink to Drink. No ha Initiative. How about the the sack almost fumble again dude. They uche we were celebrating circle in the end zone even though it didn't count but we thought it counted at the time. We got everybody was like doing crazy dances and then Reed steps in and does the does the stanky leg. I was dying laughing. I don't think I've ever laughed that hard, bro. The game, bro.

[Reed Blankenship]

I wish it counted because that would have been hilarious. And I didn't even know we were going to do a dance circle.

[Cooper Dean]

Me either. I didn't know what was going on. I thought they were just like doing some crazy dance. I was just standing there awkwardly watching.

[Reed Blankenship]

As low key sick, though. Do a little dance.

[Cooper Dean]

I know it was sick. Boys are just having fun. That's.

[Reed Blankenship]

That's what it came down to, honestly. We were just enjoying our day.

[Cooper Dean]

We're going to start this episode off with how we do every single week with what is exciting you this week, Mr. Blankenship. Got that dub.

[Reed Blankenship]

Another dub in the win column, man. Come on.

[Cooper Dean]

Got that dub. Back to back dubs heading into the bye week.

[Reed Blankenship]

And we're bringing the boom in this picture too. I love it.

[Cooper Dean]

Bring no boom, boys. Got a dub. Got a. A little, little get back, you know, for what happened a couple weeks ago.

[Reed Blankenship]

But I feel like we finally played some complimentary football as well.

[Cooper Dean]

We did.

[Reed Blankenship]

Always good.

[Cooper Dean]

Yeah. And it's the bye week, so that's also exciting.

[Reed Blankenship]

And we didn't really have to finish the game. You know, we. We got out what, like five, five, six minutes left.

[Cooper Dean]

So yes, that was nice.

[Reed Blankenship]

A little extra time to relax, you know, so needed that.

[Cooper Dean]

Needed that. But yes, big win for the boys and we got the bye week. So we're going to the bye week on a. On a good note.

[Reed Blankenship]

Great note, man. Great note.

[Cooper Dean]

Hell yeah, brother.

[Reed Blankenship]

Gonna keep it rolling. Rolling.

[Cooper Dean]

Division W for the Philadelphia Eagles in the Kelly Greens. That's back to back wins right before our bye week.

[Reed Blankenship]

And good to be back in the link.

[Cooper Dean]

It's good to be back at home. Yeah. Yeah.

[Reed Blankenship]

The.

[Cooper Dean]

The environment, you know, was as it always is, crazy.

[Reed Blankenship]

Especially turns up a notch when you have the Kelly Greens, though.

[Cooper Dean]

Kelly greens and you know, the Giants in town. So true. But yeah, it was. It was crazy. You know, obviously the Giants got us back or got us the first time and we were able to. To get some. Get back this this week. Good. Played some good complimentary football. Defense, offense, special teams. Really kind of. Kind of put it all together. It was. It was fun. Wasn't just out there.

[Reed Blankenship]

Saquon took off, man. Yeah, like, oh, boy. It's gonna be one. One of those flashbacks, man. Flashbacks to Washington last year, bro.

[Cooper Dean]

Bro, it seems like every time we wear Kelly green, Saquon does something crazy. And Jahan too, bro.

[Reed Blankenship]

That is true, dude. That is so true.

[Cooper Dean]

John's touchdown was insane. I was. It was like a. Like the nailing nail in the coffin. Put it on his head.

[Reed Blankenship]

That was tough.

[Cooper Dean]

That was so tough.

[Reed Blankenship]

Tough. You have two running backs rush for 100 yards, bro.

[Cooper Dean]

That's Tank.

[Reed Blankenship]

Shout out. Tank. Shout out. Tank, bro. Dang, bro.

[Cooper Dean]

It was only a matter of time before he got going. Cuz that dude in practice and he'll.

[Reed Blankenship]

Dice you up, bro. I'm telling you. Yeah, I have been a victim of that and I'm glad everybody got to see it in live action what he does, because he does that stuff in practice and it's just. It's insane. He can. I don't know. There's very few people can cut like that.

[Cooper Dean]

Yeah, he was. He cuts on the dime, bro. He was running through everybody.

[Reed Blankenship]

Everybody, dude. Everybody.

[Cooper Dean]

It was, I mean, happy to see him, you know, get out there and do his thing. And Johan stepping in obviously, with. With AJ out this week was also huge. And the defense had five sacks.

[Reed Blankenship]

That's huge, bro.

[Cooper Dean]

Five sacks, 246 total yards given up. You know, obviously that was.

[Reed Blankenship]

I wanted to keep it under 200, but. I know, but it is what it is, man. It's tough in the NFL, but you keep it under 200, man, that's. That's a goal for sure.

[Cooper Dean]

Yeah, I think we, you know, we tried to learn from the first game, you know, tried to group rush more, keep him in the pocket as much as we could, and, you know, we were finally able to, you know, get him contained and. And our boys up front got some. Got some sacks, baby.

[Reed Blankenship]

I see. Would you say J and Zach celebration that one time?

[Cooper Dean]

Yeah. Crazy. How about the. The sack? Almost fumble again, dude. They uche. We were celebrating. We had a little dance circle in the end zone. Even though it didn't count, but we thought it counted at the time. We got. Everybody was like doing crazy dances and then Reed steps in and does the. Does the stanky leg. I was dying laughing. I don't think I've ever laughed that hard, bro. Game, bro.

[Reed Blankenship]

I wish it counted because that would have been hilarious. And I didn't even know we were going to do a dance circle.

[Cooper Dean]

Me neither. I didn't know what was going on. I thought they were just, like, doing some crazy dance. I was just standing there awkwardly watching as.

[Reed Blankenship]

Low key sick, though. Do a little dance.

[Cooper Dean]

I know it was sick. Boys are just having fun. And that's.

[Reed Blankenship]

Yeah, that's what it came down to, Honestly. We were just enjoying our day.

[Cooper Dean]

Yeah, it was. It was a blast.

[Reed Blankenship]

Let's talk about our red zone, bro. Let's talk about the red offense in general.

[Cooper Dean]

God, the offense leads the NFL right now. And touchdowns in the red zone. 17 for 20. I think Dallas had two TDs.

[Reed Blankenship]

Yeah.

[Cooper Dean]

On national Tight ends Day. How about that? He had that.

[Reed Blankenship]

How about that?

[Cooper Dean]

He had that. Yeah, that quick, quick slant on, like, the five and then that boot.

[Reed Blankenship]

Yeah.

[Cooper Dean]

I think going the opposite way. Shout out to Dallas Goddard, though. Big game for. For the. For the kid. He's been. He's been balling all year, though.

[Reed Blankenship]

Yeah. We might have to get him on the podcast. He might be in. He might be in conspiracies, though.

[Cooper Dean]

Be a great guy to talk to on the podcast. We gotta. We're gonna have to get him on, bro.

[Reed Blankenship]

Sydney. I didn't. So, like, I caught like, a little glimpse of it, like, right when it happened, and I'm like, bro, what are you doing? He's like, I was trying to jump over somebody. I thought somebody fell. Well, dude was legit. Trying to jump over the lead returner or lead blocker.

[Cooper Dean]

It's like that. It was like that Antonio Brown punt return. Remember when he tried to hurdle on her and he. He stepped on his, like, kicked him right in the face.

[Reed Blankenship]

Yeah, he kicked him right in the face. Sweet chin music. Right to the dome, bro.

[Cooper Dean]

I didn't. I didn't even realize this happened. I didn't. I didn't realize it was.

[Reed Blankenship]

You didn't see it?

[Cooper Dean]

No, I. I saw it at the corner of my eye, but I didn't realize it was Sydney. But it looked like the blocker was, like, about to go, like, lower, so, I mean, I guess it's kind of valid.

[Reed Blankenship]

Whatever you got to do, I guess.

[Cooper Dean]

No, it was. It was kind of sick, though.

[Reed Blankenship]

If he would have. If he would have got it done, though, and made a play, that would have been crazy.

[Cooper Dean]

That would have been nuts. I mean, he. He forced her to turn her back.

[Reed Blankenship]

The other way, so, I mean, I would too, see somebody flying to the air.

[Cooper Dean]

He did something.

[Reed Blankenship]

But.

[Cooper Dean]

The boys are undefeated in the Kelly Greens. Do you want To.

[Reed Blankenship]

I. I don't know.

[Cooper Dean]

They're undef. That's what it is. That's what it is.

[Reed Blankenship]

You're right. Yeah. Yeah, you right.

[Cooper Dean]

Boys are undefeated in. In the Kelly Greens, I think.

[Reed Blankenship]

And I'm not bi. Like I say, I'm biased.

[Cooper Dean]

We're biased, but we're also not biased because these.

[Reed Blankenship]

These are. These are probably the. The sickest ones.

[Cooper Dean]

Yeah.

[Reed Blankenship]

In the league, in my opinion.

[Cooper Dean]

They gotta be. I wish. I wish they could make them just like, permanent.

[Reed Blankenship]

I know. Throw in like the. Away like the whites. Have you seen like I've seen?

[Cooper Dean]

Yeah, bro. I think. I think those and then Denver's, when they wear the, like the orange and the blue.

[Reed Blankenship]

Denver's are. Denver's a close second.

[Cooper Dean]

I think that's. That's a cool one too. But I mean that the Kelly Greens are hard to be. Hard to beat and shout out. To shout out to Camp Scatterboo, too. Tough injury, obviously. It's the worst. Worst part about football is the injuries, you know, and he was. He was having a good season as well. Had a good game against us the first game. And it's tough to see a guy, you know, who's. Who's playing so well go. Go down like that.

[Reed Blankenship]

It's tough, man. It's tough. And no matter who it is, you know, whether it's like our side or their side, it. It kind of shakes you up a little bit because it kind of just puts it into reality, like things like this can happen just like that, you know, you just. You can't really think about it, but you just got to play hard and play fast.

[Cooper Dean]

It's part of the game. At the end of the game, man, it sucks.

[Reed Blankenship]

But, yeah, we wish him a special recovery and recovery. Yeah, I know they gave him a nice standing ovation as he was getting carted off. So. Yeah, shout out to all the fans for that too. That's. That's very respectful. So, yeah, obviously wouldn't want any other way, you know, but yeah, stuff.

[Cooper Dean]

Wish him a speedy recovery, though, and I know he'll. He'll get back and, you know, be ready to go next season.

[Reed Blankenship]

Absolutely.

[Cooper Dean]

We got our week eight game balls, baby. Let's go.

[Reed Blankenship]

Yeah, we could get out a lot of them, bro.

[Cooper Dean]

We could give out a lot of game balls this week. Yeah, but I think obviously, national tight ends day. Dallas got her two touchdowns, two ties. We gotta. We gotta get him a game ball.

[Reed Blankenship]

Get him one. Smitty obviously, too, for. I feel like picking up a lot of the workload I'm in the air. You know, AJ was out and then, you know, you got Johan coming in. Just random like. You just never know. You never know when number two is going to get the ball. And when the ball comes his way, you know, he has that. He grabs the opportunity and runs with it, obviously. So, yeah, people, I mean, he's, he's very talented. Really, really talented. And we're lucky, honestly, to have him.

[Cooper Dean]

Yeah, for sure. I think, I think the two backs too deserve, deserve a game ball. Saquon and Tank obviously both going for, for 100 yards. That's. That hasn't happened in a long time, I don't think.

[Reed Blankenship]

Well, that's a tough day in the, in the office for them boys on defense.

[Cooper Dean]

Yeah.

[Reed Blankenship]

Get the ball, run on you like that. It's tough.

[Cooper Dean]

It is tough.

[Reed Blankenship]

Two back by two backs, but no shout out to them, man. They.

[Cooper Dean]

It's always good when you can, when you can hand out a lot of game balls, you know. Oh yeah, that means we were playing some good, good complimentary football. Obviously the boys up front on, on defense were getting after the quarterback and yeah, it was really just a good day all around, I think.

[Reed Blankenship]

Good, solid day of football, man, for us.

[Cooper Dean]

Love it. Love a solid day of football. There's one thing on everyone's mind.

[Reed Blankenship]

Football.

[Cooper Dean]

No money. And not just money. Money questions.

What are you gonna trick or treat, bro? I don't think I'm gonna go trick or treating, no. What. What are you gonna do during the bye week? You know, go back home, spend some time with family.

[Reed Blankenship]

Yeah. Go back home, chill. Not do anything crazy. We might go to Chattanooga. Her brother coaches at Chattanooga so they play some ball out there. So we're gonna. We're gonna go watch. Watch him play or coach him out, check him out and kind of. Yeah, keep it low key, man. Don't want to go too far.

[Cooper Dean]

Yeah, no, especially, I mean, we do enough traveling, you know, on. On the weekends, but it'll be good to. To get some time off. I'm gonna go back home, see the famous. See the pups.

[Reed Blankenship]

Yeah, I gotta see the pups, man.

[Reed Blankenship]

And your mind reset.

[Cooper Dean]

And I mean, we'll. We'll be able to watch football on the weekend. That's. I think that's the best. That's the best thing to sit.

[Reed Blankenship]

That's what I'm watching, dude. That's what I'm excited about. Like, I get to go to a college game, you know, and be a fan. Like, I don't get to do that a lot.

[Cooper Dean]

Yeah, that'll be sweet. That'll be sweet. I think the Hawks are off this week. Otherwise I was going to go back there, but I'll probably just sit around, watch them. Watch them ball on. On the couch, relax, watch some of the teams that we play here coming up.

[Reed Blankenship]

Yeah.

[Cooper Dean]

So that'll be fun. What do you think? What do you think Elsa's most excited.

She lets me. I mean, if I. If I do laundry, I feel like I'm doing it wrong. So shout out her. But she, she holds down the fort when I'm doing my thing. But yeah, when I. When it comes to laundry and stuff.

[Cooper Dean]

Like that, you leave that there.

[Reed Blankenship]

She wants to do it.

[Cooper Dean]

So that's the same. That's the same thing with me. I hate doing laundry, bro.

[Reed Blankenship]

I don't mind it. I don't mind it.

[Cooper Dean]

It's just like I do my laundry, but I usually. I usually try to wait. I usually try to wait until the end of the week when my mom's coming into town, dude. So she can fold all my clothes for me after. After I wash them.

[Reed Blankenship]

So before Elsa moved up here with me, I would always wash clothes on Wednesday. I would call it Wash clothes Wednesday.

[Cooper Dean]

What? You would wash them and fold them and everything?

[Reed Blankenship]

I would wash them and fold them and everything. But like, I wouldn't take the time really to. To separate, like lights, darks. So I just throw them all in there. Unless it's like my underwear, socks. I don't do them separately, but like light color, dark color. I didn't care if they bled, they bled.

[Cooper Dean]

So I'm the same way. I just throw everything together.

[Reed Blankenship]

Yeah. So, yeah, just wait until you get a wife, man. She. I got a whole. I mean, we got a hamper that sorts it for us. And then.

[Cooper Dean]

Maybe I'll do some.

[Reed Blankenship]

I go to work and I come back and everything's folded, so I don't really know what happened.

[Cooper Dean]

So maybe I'll do some cooking during the bye week. I need to learn how to cook. So I'm so I'm not always door dashing here in Philly.

[Reed Blankenship]

That's tough. That's very tough.

[Cooper Dean]

But maybe, maybe I'll teach myself how to cook a home cooked meal. Because sometimes you just need a home cooked meal, you know, so.

[Reed Blankenship]

Nice, dude. So. Especially when the weather is a little bit warm and you can go out and grill.

[Cooper Dean]

You nice on the grill?

[Reed Blankenship]

Oh, yeah.

[Cooper Dean]

You gonna get on the grill this week?

[Reed Blankenship]

No, ain't no need for me. You only grill? It's my vacation. Somebody else can.

[Cooper Dean]

You're in full, full chill mode then, huh?

[Reed Blankenship]

Full chill mode, bro.

[Cooper Dean]

Yeah, me too. Oh.

[Reed Blankenship]

Oh.

[Cooper Dean]

Cold Pee Coop's Crunch is the hot. It's the hottest cereal on the street right now.

[Reed Blankenship]

Coops. Is it?

[Cooper Dean]

I've been.

[Reed Blankenship]

Are you gonna get another flavor out?

[Cooper Dean]

Flavor? What do you mean? What's wrong with the green berries?

[Reed Blankenship]

I don't know. I'm just asking.

[Cooper Dean]

I don't. I mean, maybe we will, maybe we won't. I don't know. I guess we'll see in. In the near, near future. But the boys, you know, I've been. I got a. I got like four boxes of I've been. So I've been just passing it out to people in the facility and my boy, Cole P. Cole Peterson.

[Reed Blankenship]

Cole P. Man.

[Cooper Dean]

Copy, baby. Shout out the goodies. Have you had it yet? Have you tried the. Wow. That's.

[Reed Blankenship]

What does it taste like, though? Like, I. I would admit. I'll admit I have never been a cereal eater, so the only really thing like cereal I've ate was like Cocoa Puffs, which destroys your gums. Or the Cocoa Pebbles.

[Cooper Dean]

Well, you need. You ever had Captain Crunch?

[Reed Blankenship]

Oh, maybe a long time ago.

[Cooper Dean]

It's almost just like Captain Crunch, but the box makes it taste better. That's what I like to say.

[Reed Blankenship]

Because. Because he got your face on it.

[Cooper Dean]

Yeah, bro. Duh.

[Reed Blankenship]

Where can I get it, though? Like, if I. Instead of like ordering it. Where can I get it?

[Cooper Dean]

You gotta order it on. You can order it online. I think it's in. It's in Redner's market, I think. And Hy Vee. Hyvee's only a Midwest thing, so.

[Reed Blankenship]

Oh, they get attack me or something, you know.

[Cooper Dean]

I know. We gotta. We gotta get it. We gotta get some more source. I know, We'll. We'll work on that. Thanks for the. Thanks for the suggestion though.

[Reed Blankenship]

Yeah, of course.

[Cooper Dean]

Appreciate that.

[Reed Blankenship]

So I'm here for. Brother.

[Cooper Dean]

It is time for our favorite segment. Yes. Exciting fits. Let's check them out. What the boys were wearing this week.

[Reed Blankenship]

What if there's any throwbacks, man, or if there's just clean fits. Whoa, whoa.

[Cooper Dean]

We do that every time the first outfit comes up, bro.

[Reed Blankenship]

We look like gym teachers.

[Cooper Dean]

Look at you, bro. Look at that smile and the kelly green jumps.

[Reed Blankenship]

I'd laugh at you for something, probably. Yeah, man. Me and Lane.

[Cooper Dean]

Man. What if we. I should have wore mine. That's all right, though.

[Reed Blankenship]

Sorry. We got two more other games.

[Cooper Dean]

Yeah, we got. We got a couple other games, but the boys were. Were full retro mode. Bringing back the. The old Eagles logo, I think, right?

[Reed Blankenship]

Yep.

[Cooper Dean]

Yeah, and the kelly greens.

[Reed Blankenship]

Old colors too, but See, that's another thing. Like you get to wear all these like retro throwback pullovers and. And jacket like the champion old champion jackets row. Because I got one. I got one that I haven't wore yet. I don't think so. I might wear it.

[Cooper Dean]

You going to bust it out?

[Reed Blankenship]

I had to.

[Cooper Dean]

Yeah, you are.

[Reed Blankenship]

Had a stinky leg, bro.

[Cooper Dean]

Boys look good in the Kelly green.

[Reed Blankenship]

Oh, Jay. Her in the all.

[Cooper Dean]

All red. That's Sunday red. You know what I'm saying? Sunday red. I think that's a.

[Reed Blankenship]

Look at that. Smart, bro.

[Cooper Dean]

You got the little coach bag. I saw. I saw you. He was giving a shout out to coach on. On ig. The coach bag to match match the fit black shoes. I'm. I'm liking the red on red on red on red on red. I wonder. I wonder if his socks are red too. Looks good though.

[Reed Blankenship]

I don't think they are. I think they're black. They might be black.

[Cooper Dean]

Can you see them?

[Reed Blankenship]

Maybe a little at the very bottom.

[Cooper Dean]

Maybe he matched the shoes with the socks. Yeah, but yeah, I'm liking the Sunday red. Tiger Woods. Sunday red.

[Reed Blankenship]

Oh, yeah. Oh.

[Cooper Dean]

Oh, my God. How the. Did we get this?

[Reed Blankenship]

Yeah, how did y' all get this? Dude, this is not funny.

[Cooper Dean]

Reed. Look at you, man. Bro, the Halloween throwback.

[Reed Blankenship]

That. That is. That don't even look like me.

[Cooper Dean]

What do we got here? You got. Looks like you're a cow. Is that a cow?

[Reed Blankenship]

Dude, I cannot believe my mom.

[Cooper Dean]

What is that?

[Reed Blankenship]

Maybe, I don't know. It looks like a. I'm a dog.

[Cooper Dean]

What? A dog? Or is that a cow?

[Reed Blankenship]

I am so embarrassed. Nobody had my permission, so somebody had to reach out to my wife. That does not give. Whatever I'm. Hold on.

[Cooper Dean]

Let's go through these here now. What is this a cow? Is the first one a cow? I think it's a cow, dude.

[Reed Blankenship]

I don't know. I don't know.

[Cooper Dean]

I don't even remember Spider Man.

[Reed Blankenship]

All right. I was a big Spider man guy. Low key.

[Cooper Dean]

Are you still a big Spider man guy?

[Reed Blankenship]

No, not really.

[Cooper Dean]

Wow. Switched up, bro. What's the last one here? A soldier.

[Reed Blankenship]

That's just a soldier, dude. I guess, bro. I was so into it like all like video games at the time. Like all the Metal Medal of Honor franchise. You don't know. You're not a gamer, but not a gamer game? No.

[Cooper Dean]

Look at the young, young Reedus. Young readers.

[Reed Blankenship]

Dude. I hope you have some.

[Cooper Dean]

I. There's no way. I do.

[Reed Blankenship]

I really hope yes. Oh.

[Cooper Dean]

Look at the eye. Black, bro.

[Reed Blankenship]

Oh, Abroad.

[Cooper Dean]

Dude, why did I wear my eye black like that, bro?

[Reed Blankenship]

What the. You look better in the first one. The second one, like.

[Cooper Dean]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Why, like, why did I wear eye black like that? Sorry for cussing, dude.

[Reed Blankenship]

You're matching the middle one, too. You must have loved them shorts.

[Cooper Dean]

Bro. I don't even know what's going on. I like the first outfit, though. The first.

[Reed Blankenship]

The first one's. The first one's you guys little for.

[Cooper Dean]

For foreshadowing.

[Reed Blankenship]

That's sick. What about.

[Cooper Dean]

Got a little Andrew Luck jersey on too, huh? Shout out, Andrew Luck.

[Reed Blankenship]

Oh, miss your incredible key.

[Cooper Dean]

Stanford Cardinal. Mr. Incredible.

[Reed Blankenship]

Your mask is even best, bro.

[Cooper Dean]

I don't. I don't think this was during Halloween, though. I think this was during homecoming week, but still.

[Reed Blankenship]

How old are you?

[Cooper Dean]

Right there in the last one? Yeah, that's in high school. I don't know who the minion was.

[Reed Blankenship]

A shout out to. Indian, I guess.

[Cooper Dean]

That's hilarious, though. Yeah. I don't know what I'm wearing in the middle one. Like, I got a blue jersey, yellow shorts, and a pink towel.

[Reed Blankenship]

Well, this is a lot better than mine. I don't even know what I dressed up the first one because I had no say in that, apparently. Oh, come on. We ain't got to go back to it. See, I leaving. Look depressed, bro.

[Cooper Dean]

Bro, mine are. Mine are just boring. Mine are boring. I'm a football player twice. And Mr. Incredible. I was probably a football player every single year, football or basketball.

[Reed Blankenship]

I had. I had an Alabama fit like that, too, dude. I loved it. I'd put it on and go out and play in the yard.

[Cooper Dean]

I'm still trying to figure out who let me do my eye black like that.

[Reed Blankenship]

You probably thought it was the sickest thing.

[Cooper Dean]

I probably did, too. Eye black. Oh, whatever, bro.

[Reed Blankenship]

You probably use the whole tube next slide. I cannot believe he just got put on blast. I'm fixing to come from my parents or my family's. Whatever. Now, you know we don't partake in fantasy football, but our ph L Y fantasy expert, Jamie has some pics to share. Tell the people what's up, Jamie.

[Cooper Dean]

Welcome back to exciting mics presented by citizens. All right, where does. Where does Halloween rank in your favorite holidays?

[Reed Blankenship]

How. I mean, how out of how many holidays technically?

[Cooper Dean]

I don't know. Like Christmas one.

[Reed Blankenship]

It's probably last.

[Cooper Dean]

Oh, you're not really a big Halloween guy.

[Reed Blankenship]

I mean.

[Cooper Dean]

All right.

[Reed Blankenship]

And you might be different because you probably grew up same as. As me, because you don't. You didn't live in a neighborhood, right?

[Cooper Dean]

Yeah, I did.

[Reed Blankenship]

You did? Well, it was.

[Cooper Dean]

It wasn't like.

[Greenlight Advertiser]

It.

[Cooper Dean]

It was. It's like a town.

[Reed Blankenship]

Well, you had to get in a car and probably drive to different place. Like houses, Right.

[Cooper Dean]

We could walk. We could walk.

[Reed Blankenship]

We could walk.

[Cooper Dean]

Yeah.

[Reed Blankenship]

See, I had to get out. I had to drive. So it wasn't like I was walking door to door. You know what I'm saying?

[Cooper Dean]

Yeah. I feel like Halloween's better as a kid.

[Reed Blankenship]

Yeah, it is.

[Cooper Dean]

You don't think so?

[Reed Blankenship]

No, it is. No, definitely is. But, like, as an adult, you can. It. It was fun in college. Like, it was fun. Like, I'm sure it would be fun now. Like, we dress up in something stupid, you know?

[Cooper Dean]

Yeah. Maybe. Maybe next year we should just go all out for Halloween and throw a big Halloween party and get everybody into.

[Reed Blankenship]

Cool outfits, you know, I want to dress up, like as a two person thing. You know, the. The dog for the slinky. Dog from Toy Story or cat. Have you? Oh, you haven't seen Cat dog, bro, back in the day. Ah.

[Cooper Dean]

All right, let's go through some Halloween quick hitters. Let's rank some of our. Our favorite Halloween things. Even though Reed doesn't like Halloween.

[Reed Blankenship]

I mean, I do, but it's not.

[Cooper Dean]

I don't mind it. It's not my favorite either. Really? What. What's your favorite Halloween candy?

[Reed Blankenship]

Probably Kit Kat. Something chocolatey.

[Cooper Dean]

You're not a big candy corn?

[Reed Blankenship]

No. What?

[Cooper Dean]

Candy corn and peanuts.

[Reed Blankenship]

Are you a candy corn guy?

[Cooper Dean]

I like candy corn and peanuts. You just mix them together and put them in a bag. Candy corn and peanuts.

[Reed Blankenship]

But you like eating candy corn?

[Cooper Dean]

Yeah, if it's with peanuts. I wouldn't eat it plain, though.

[Reed Blankenship]

I'm so confused at this statement right now. So you have to have a peanut and a piece of candy corn.

[Cooper Dean]

Yeah. You got to mix them together.

[Reed Blankenship]

I think that candy corn just a. Huh.

[Cooper Dean]

But mine's probably a Kit Kat too, though. If we had to pick, like, chocolate.

[Reed Blankenship]

Yeah.

[Cooper Dean]

Or Snickers or Skittles. I don't know.

[Reed Blankenship]

Yeah.

[Cooper Dean]

What's the most overrated Halloween candy?

[Reed Blankenship]

Tootsie Roll.

[Cooper Dean]

Yes, bro.

[Reed Blankenship]

Disgusting. That and three musketeers.

[Cooper Dean]

I hate three Musketeers, dude.

[Reed Blankenship]

Anything like fudgy like that I can't do, but in general is disgusting.

[Cooper Dean]

You know what I've been liking lately, though?

[Reed Blankenship]

What?

[Cooper Dean]

Butterfingers. I never really used to like butterfingers.

[Reed Blankenship]

That just gets, like, all over your teeth, though. You know?

[Cooper Dean]

You gotta get. You gotta put it in the fridge or the freezer and.

[Reed Blankenship]

Never been that guy. I'd rather have it a little melted.

[Cooper Dean]

Really? Whatever.

[Reed Blankenship]

Sorry. Everybody has different.

[Cooper Dean]

What's the worst. What's the worst costume you've ever seen in person? I mean, I think there's just. I wouldn't say there's, like, bad costumes, but there's just costumes that everybody wears every single year. Like a police officer.

[Reed Blankenship]

Yeah, let's. Let's step it up a notch, man. We got to do, like. You got to do something unique. Very unique.

[Cooper Dean]

Police officer. A football player. Like Spider Man.

[Reed Blankenship]

Oh, chill out.

[Cooper Dean]

All right. Um, but I think there's. I wouldn't say there's bad costumes. They're just very boring costumes, I guess.

[Reed Blankenship]

I guess when you talk about costumes, it's more of how they. How they are put together. Like, if you don't put any effort into it, like, what's the point? You know?

[Cooper Dean]

You're right. You really got to go if you're going to do it. You might as well.

[Reed Blankenship]

You might as well go all out.

[Cooper Dean]

Go all out. Yeah. I'm saying a lot today.

[Reed Blankenship]

I know. You need to quit that, man.

[Cooper Dean]

All right. What is the best Halloween movie?

[Reed Blankenship]

I love Halloween. Michael Myers.

[Cooper Dean]

Is that the one where he's like hiding behind the chainsaws? What's the one he's.

[Reed Blankenship]

That's Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

[Cooper Dean]

Is that a Halloween movie?

[Reed Blankenship]

Yeah.

[Cooper Dean]

All right. That's mine.

[Reed Blankenship]

I'm not.

[Cooper Dean]

Probably the only one I've seen too.

[Reed Blankenship]

See, I'm not. I don't like all the crazy gore like Saul. I hate that. I don't like the demonic movies either.

[Cooper Dean]

No, I don't like that.

[Reed Blankenship]

That. That is scary.

[Cooper Dean]

I don't like the ghosts and.

[Reed Blankenship]

No. Anything that could probably happen in real life and I see that, I'll be tripping, like. Nah, I don't wanna.

[Cooper Dean]

Problem is, you watch them. You watch them late at night and then you like, go to bed and like, that's all you can think about.

[Reed Blankenship]

And then first thing you think he's gonna be something.

[Cooper Dean]

You hear noise. You hear noises and you think someone's in your place.

[Reed Blankenship]

Get Elsa to go check. Not me.

[Cooper Dean]

All right. Which Halloween character is the scariest? All right.

[Reed Blankenship]

I'm gonna have to say my. I'm a Michael Myers fan. Really? I'm a Michael Myers fan. He's.

[Cooper Dean]

Well, you're a fan. That doesn't mean it's scary.

[Reed Blankenship]

It's scary you don't die. I mean. Fred. So, Freddie, do you know any of these, like the backstories of these or do you want me to explain it?

[Cooper Dean]

Yeah, explain them to me.

[Reed Blankenship]

So, Freddy Krueger, and correct me if I'm wrong, but Freddy Krueger, he legit gets into people's dreams and like, he can kill you in your dreams.

[Cooper Dean]

What?

[Reed Blankenship]

Yeah. That's crazy scary.

[Cooper Dean]

Jason's the one with like the mask and.

[Reed Blankenship]

Yeah, the hot white mask. Yeah, bro.

[Cooper Dean]

One time.

[Greenlight Advertiser]

One.

[Cooper Dean]

One time during Halloween. I think it was during Halloween. Maybe it wasn't, but me and my cousins were like playing basketball in the basement of my grandparents house. And my grandpa had the Jason mask. This is like when we were little. And I think. I don't know if it was my uncle or my dad. They put the mask on and they went around. There's like a window to see in the basement, dude. And they. With the mask on. I was like. I just remember being so scared, bro. Dude.

[Reed Blankenship]

The same thing happened to me. We were at. I was at my friend's house and his dad did it had put a Jason mask on and, like, the blinds were open and, like, where. I guess we were watching TV or playing video games, whatever. It was like a group of us, like a party. And, like, I saw something in the window that I looked, looked back and saw it again, bro. I screamed so loud, I was so scared of it. But no, I mean, I'm. I'm not really scared of clowns either.

[Cooper Dean]

I can hate clowns, bro.

[Reed Blankenship]

Really? They don't scare, like.

[Cooper Dean]

I mean, clowns. Like, if you see a. If you see a clown in the middle of the night walking down the street, like, that's definitely.

[Reed Blankenship]

Like, is he supposed to be walking down the street?

[Cooper Dean]

Isn't this guy. Isn't the clown from. It is. Doesn't he hold, like, the balloon and. Yeah, and he's like, out in the middle of the night.

[Reed Blankenship]

That's. I'm thinking, like, clown, clown.

[Cooper Dean]

You remember. You remember when, like, clowns used to be, like, a big thing?

[Reed Blankenship]

Yes. Dude, that was crazy. That was crazy.

[Cooper Dean]

People legitimately used to walk around in clown suits. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not really a fan of clowns.

[Reed Blankenship]

I don't bother me.

[Cooper Dean]

I mean, if I see them in the. In broad daylight, I'll be fine.

[Reed Blankenship]

But it's only at night time, right?

[Cooper Dean]

Yeah, nighttime that, bro. Oh.

[Reed Blankenship]

Have you ever been to a haunted house, though?

[Cooper Dean]

No, I don't like haunted houses, though. Just say you like haunted house.

[Reed Blankenship]

No, I hate it. If I could go through there with my. My ears, like, covered, I'll be fine.

[Cooper Dean]

I went to one haunted house in my life who never went back. Who on the team would you trust to lead you through a haunted house?

[Reed Blankenship]

Probably Mulatta. So I could just bury my head into his back. So I gotta look him.

[Cooper Dean]

Any of the alignment, brother.

[Reed Blankenship]

Yeah, any alignment. Nobody's gonna mess with them.

[Cooper Dean]

I just don't. I just like being. I'm. I need someone in front to lead the way. I need to be in the middle so no one can freaking snatch me from behind.

[Reed Blankenship]

But what about, like, in a movie? Like a scary movie?

[Cooper Dean]

Any of the other.

[Reed Blankenship]

You gotta pick and choose, dude. You can't get, like, the bit you can't get. You can't get. Jordan, them to try and lead you out. They're gonna be seen.

[Cooper Dean]

J.C. saquon, AJ.

[Reed Blankenship]

They're gonna take off, bro.

[Cooper Dean]

And I'll be right there with them.

[Reed Blankenship]

You gotta be smart, though. You can't. I hate scary. So stupid. Like, why go that way? Like, we know it's down there. Don't Go that way, you know.

[Cooper Dean]

We're back with another fan Q and A today. We got our guy Jim joining us. What's up, big dog? How we doing?

[Jim (Fan Caller)]

What's up, my guys? Good seeing you. Thanks for having me.

[Cooper Dean]

You got some. You got some hard hitting questions for us today.

[Jim (Fan Caller)]

If Netflix gave your co host their own reality show, what would it be called and whose show would get canceled.

[Cooper Dean]

First Reeds would be called probably a boy from Bama.

[Reed Blankenship]

Oh, that is tough though.

[Cooper Dean]

A boy from Bama.

[Reed Blankenship]

That's tough.

[Jim (Fan Caller)]

A boy from. A boy from Bama.

[Reed Blankenship]

A boy from Bama.

[Cooper Dean]

Just.

[Reed Blankenship]

That's kind of. That's pretty interesting though.

[Cooper Dean]

A boy from Bama.

[Jim (Fan Caller)]

How are we tying in Iowa, Cooper? How we cut. How we tie in Iowa?

[Reed Blankenship]

I don't know if.

[Jim (Fan Caller)]

So we don't. Don't drop any Hawkeyes on me.

[Cooper Dean]

I don't need any of your Pense guy.

[Reed Blankenship]

How to survive the Midwest with Cooper Dean.

[Cooper Dean]

Yeah, survive. There's no surviving in the Midwest. The Midwest is a great.

[Reed Blankenship]

I don't know, it's like a foreign, like planet to me, bro. I don't know anything about it.

[Jim (Fan Caller)]

I was going to say I brought the heat on that, but I guess. Let's go. Can I ask the second question? Because this is. This was kind of from my family. So like my son, My son. My son's a safety place for St. Denis Bulldogs out there. And so, you know, we had the family down at the game yesterday. So I have my son. I have my son who's 8, my daughter who's 4. So we wanted to go get some exciting Mike jerseys, but we go down to the youth section, places littered with Cooper de Jean, every size, everything you could see. I saw no Reed Blankenship. So I don't know if this is pro shop politics, but like, listen, as a. As now a member of the pod, I guess I don't know who we got to talk to Reed, but we gotta, we gotta. We gotta take care of it.

[Reed Blankenship]

I said before, I don't know if I could say this, but it's only, I guess, only one white guy per shop. So.

[Jim (Fan Caller)]

We gotta get, you know what.

[Cooper Dean]

We got to get reboot or they.

[Reed Blankenship]

Just combine them and put exciting whites, you know.

[Cooper Dean]

Oh, that'd be sick.

[Jim (Fan Caller)]

I mean, maybe I didn't see any exciting. I didn't see any of those shirts in there that would have been perfect.

[Reed Blankenship]

And the thing is, Philly is the one that gave us these nicknames. It is.

[Cooper Dean]

You know, start making, making jerseys.

[Jim (Fan Caller)]

You got to put that tr.

[Cooper Dean]

They gotta trademark both our numbers on it. Make jerseys with both our numbers on it. Put exciting lights on.

[Reed Blankenship]

I might taint it, though, so they don't probably. They probably don't watch Jersey.

[Cooper Dean]

You need to get some Reed blanks.
