Eddie
This is a podcast called 25 Whistles.
Bobby Bones
Talking Force. And they all wear a whistle.
Kevin
Yeah, it's stupid.
Eddie
But why did you expect. It's a podcast called 25 Whistles.
Bobby Bones
25 Whistles.
Mike
Oh, blow it.
Bobby Bones
So the question is, which is harder? Hitting a Major league baseball, meaning a pitcher that can throw 95 can also throw curveballs or scoring a goal in professional soccer. Ooh, so you're playing against pros in both.
Eddie
Okay, is our goal a penalty kick or is it just during the game?
Bobby Bones
You have to maneuver through defenders.
Eddie
Yeah, that makes it tougher.
Mike
Yeah, because part of breakaway or something.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, like.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
God, Even if it were a. Not a soccer guy, but that thing they do, everybody covers their nuts.
Mike
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eddie
The wall.
Mike
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
That, that, that's a ball in place. Free kick, corner kick. That's one.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Which is harder.
Mike
I would only because I've never played soccer. I feel like the soccer would be harder for me personally.
Eddie
I'm gonna go with baseball. I mean, I couldn't even hit off softball pitchers.
Bobby Bones
I'm gonna go baseball, too. Just because if somebody's on 90, it's unlike anything I've ever seen. Also, I don't play soccer. They're both gonna be impossible.
Eddie
They're really, really hard. I feel like the soccer, though, you can get lucky. You can, you know, like sometimes it's just some of those goals where it goes off somebody's knee and they're just like, wow, I didn't expect that to go in.
Bobby Bones
I won't even get it there. Maybe we saw me kick a football. I can't kick. Kicking is not my strong suit in any way.
Mike
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So sports authorities say it's hitting the baseball. Hitting a baseball requires exceptional handout coordination, timing, and the ability to react to pitches traveling over 90 miles an hour. The batter must precisely connect with a small, fast moving ball, often with only milliseconds to decide. In contrast, soccer involves maneuvering through defenders, reading the game and striking a ball into a 24 foot wide net. They're kind of making that sound easier than it is, though. They're both really hard, obviously. Do you see the picture of Messi and that baby?
Mike
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So this is going to be lack of knowledge when I tell the story, but Messi, I think, was like 19 years old and he was playing for Barcelona and it was the first or second pro team ever, and they were doing a calendar shoot and they said, hey, anybody that's got like a baby will do a drawing and these players will take pictures of these babies. These babies show up and it's Messi and this baby and that baby is a dude. It plays for Spain.
Mike
Yeah, he's like their best player now.
Eddie
Oh, that's crazy.
Bobby Bones
Him. Wild picture. I thought it was fake at first, but yeah, it's Messi. Who's the goat. And then this baby. And now he's like Spain's best player.
Mike
One of them literally won a drawing. To take this picture, like a charity, that is crazy.
Eddie
And then they play each other now in the World Cup Championship.
Bobby Bones
Will you guys watch that?
Mike
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Is it appointment watching for you guys?
Mike
Second half.
Eddie
I Mean, is it going to be at like 2 o' clock again or what?
Mike
I think it is 2 o' clock that time. The Sunday though.
Bobby Bones
Do you know why it's at 2:00'?
Mike
Clock?
Tab Ramos
Yes.
Eddie
Because they're used to their time zones. Right.
Bobby Bones
Because if you have Spain playing and they're a European team, let's say you do it at 7, they're not going to get to watch till 2am yeah,
Eddie
but I feel like we've been on the other end of that.
Bobby Bones
But we're not a soccer country.
Mike
Nobody cares about us.
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
We're also not in the finals or the semifinals.
Tab Ramos
True.
Kevin
Way earlier.
Bobby Bones
I think they'd play games later and not worry about as much. You just got to stay up later.
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
But if your team makes it far, they want to make sure those games are earlier in the afternoon so those European countries can watch them.
Eddie
You know what's really cool about those games? So my brother in law works for the FBI and he can kind of opt in whenever he wants to work security at any Cowboys game, any Rangers game. And when he saw the World cup was coming, he's like just throw my, throw my name in the, in the hat. And he's been to every single World cup game in Dallas this year. Like he's seen Messi, Ronaldo, all of them. Just cause he was working.
Bobby Bones
Does he get to watch any of the game?
Eddie
Yeah, he's, he's not like the guy that stands and has to have his back to the.
Bobby Bones
Oh, that's what I expect. Every security person is.
Eddie
He kind of roams the whole place. So if everything's cool you can watch the game for a little bit.
Bobby Bones
So he's there just to be there in case.
Mike
Yeah. Would you guys even work that if you're the security that had to face away?
Bobby Bones
Well, if I was a job, yeah, because that's my job. I need to make money.
Tab Ramos
True.
Mike
But I'm just saying like would you like, would you want to or would it be too hard?
Bobby Bones
So are you saying if I'm a fan of sports?
Mike
Yeah. Like say you're working the super bowl and you're a 21 year old kid.
Bobby Bones
I still want to do it. How else am I going to get into a Super bowl if I'm 21?
Eddie
Right.
Bobby Bones
That'd be cool. You work in security but you're there, you get a new experience and see everything.
Eddie
And you see sometimes like you see these guys on camera just kind of like slowly turn around a little bit, watch one play, then turn back around
Mike
and then Watch people hold, storm the field.
Bobby Bones
Remember the security person who was recording Morgan Wallen?
Mike
No.
Bobby Bones
Was it Morgan Wallen?
Mike
Yeah, yeah. We phone.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
He poses and goes back and grabs his phone and throws it.
Eddie
That's got to be a like, ass, screw it moment. You know what? Let's just give it a shot.
Bobby Bones
You never think about that security person who. Because that video went super viral and, you know, for a couple days, they were cool to the friends.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
You're the person in the video that everybody saw. That would be pretty cool. I saw. I saw Rich Eisen's list. I'm seeing a lot of these top 10 quarterback lists now, so I saw his list. What else you talking about? Now it's summer. There's nothing. No sports going on, really. It's like, where's LeBron gonna go by the time this comes out? Who knows? He may be somewhere already. Or a lot of these guys are doing top 10 quarterbacks. And Dak keeps getting put up. There is, I think, six or seven.
Eddie
Rich had him at seven. Pretty solid.
Bobby Bones
All these lists I've seen have Dak six or seven or eight. The other person that's getting probably a bit too much love is Justin Herbert. Like, what is he? What has he done?
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
But Dak too.
Eddie
And I thought too. Drake May is kind of low on some of these lists as well.
Mike
Thank you.
Eddie
No, I just think that, you know, he showed some promise. He showed his potential. I would put him up just a
Bobby Bones
little bit more if you get one quarterback. Who you taking? Because Josh Allen's number one on all these lists. But it could be possibly because Mahomes has been hurt. He's coming off an injury. But say injury aside, you get one quarterback next year.
Mike
No injury.
Bobby Bones
No injury.
Mike
Patrick Mahomes.
Bobby Bones
Same for me, too.
Mike
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Josh Allen has more tools, but I think I'm still taking Mahomes.
Mike
Yeah. As. Yeah, I love Josh Allen and I'd love to have him on my team, but. Yeah, one season. Mahomes.
Eddie
Where's Jalen Hurts in these lists?
Bobby Bones
Not.
Mike
No.
Eddie
Like, that's crazy to me because I feel like he is such a tool for a team.
Bobby Bones
Such a tool.
Eddie
Not like that. Like, he's such a.
Bobby Bones
They're trying to get rid of him. They've tried to get rid of him twice. The first year is there and now they want him out of there.
Eddie
Is it his, like, attitude or something?
Mike
I think it's his limitations more than anything.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
What's his limitation? The throwing. Well, I mean, he can still throw.
Bobby Bones
Like you can Throw.
Mike
Yeah. Technically we can all throw.
Eddie
Huh. Okay. No, I mean, I wouldn't take Jalen Hurts. But I just wonder where he was in the list. I think I would take Lamar Jackson, a healthy Lamar Jackson. Because we've seen Lamar when he's healthy
Bobby Bones
over everybody now they don't get to stay healthy. They just start healthy.
Eddie
Oh, gosh.
Bobby Bones
Like they don't.
Eddie
That's different.
Mike
So not Joe Burrow.
Eddie
Because like Joe Burrow, I'm thinking, like, I'd love to have Joe Burrow, but if he's not going to stay healthy the whole season, I can't risk that. I mean, I might go Josh Allen. I might go Josh.
Bobby Bones
Who do your boys like? Like, who do kids like?
Eddie
The kids like?
Bobby Bones
Because most of them be getting old and not cool anymore.
Mike
Yeah.
Eddie
As far as quarterbacks. Yeah, they love Josh Allen. Josh Allen's a big one for them. They also, like, I think Lamar Jackson's thrown up as well. Mahomes is kind of a big name that people like.
Mike
What about like Caleb Williams? No, you like him.
Eddie
No one talks about Caleb Williams.
Bobby Bones
He's had a one good year. He's had two years total.
Mike
Yeah. But he's feels like he's always kind of in news and like it could be either cool, you like him or you hate him kind of.
Bobby Bones
No, he has another good year. I don't. I just don't think. Unless you're a big call or a big football fan. Caleb Williams has hit that. Yeah. Gen pop crowd yet.
Eddie
Last season was crazy though. He'd come back and win these games over and over and over.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it would just suck to play somewhere cold all the time.
Eddie
Like Chicago?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, like Chicago.
Eddie
Buffalo. I mean, like Buffalo.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that would be rough.
Eddie
Is their stadium ready this year?
Bobby Bones
It's ready now. I think they're playing in it this year.
Eddie
Okay, cool.
Bobby Bones
But it's still outside.
Eddie
It's open, right?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Like, I don't mind playing for the Vikings even though it's cold up there because they have a friggin dome. Like that's nice. That's why everybody wants to go play for the Dolphins. But they're gonna be terrible.
Mike
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Are you guys not getting in the league with me this year?
Eddie
I haven't said. I haven't even thought about that.
Mike
Oh, I've thought about it.
Eddie
You've. What do you think?
Mike
Yeah, I can't do it again.
Eddie
You can't?
Mike
Can't, dude, trust me. I want to really bad, but I just don't think I can do it again.
Bobby Bones
But what if we win.
Mike
I know, I know. And I'm gonna have to pull an Eddie. I'm not gonna tell my wife about it all year.
Eddie
She still doesn't know. Like, that's.
Bobby Bones
You lost $2,000.
Eddie
It was in my own little side.
Bobby Bones
You save enough in your side to have $2,000?
Eddie
Yeah, it was up for a little bit. My DraftKings was up for a little bit, yeah.
Mike
No.
Bobby Bones
$2,000.
Eddie
No, no, no. It had money from other things, but then DraftKings can bust. Can. Can bump it up a little bit. Any. Any one of my side hustles, that money goes in there.
Bobby Bones
Is your wife storing money as well somehow that you don't know about? Like, do you both have so much money you're just not communicating? And you can pay off all. Everything. You just don't share that you have all this money.
Eddie
That's interesting. I don't think she does because she does have a job, like a part time job. And I thought that everything goes into our main account. But yeah, dude, I should go investigate.
Bobby Bones
But you don't.
Mike
Yeah.
Eddie
What?
Bobby Bones
Put the money in the main account. Not all the money.
Eddie
But she knows that. Because she knows. Like, she. I think like about like eight months ago, she's like, I don't see you taking a lot of Money out for DraftKings.
Bobby Bones
And she knew you had thousands of dollars in a side account.
Eddie
No, no, no. And she was asking about the DraftKings at first because it would be $50 every month. Right. She would see it in the bank account and then she didn't see that anymore. And I told. I kind of lied for a little bit, like maybe two months and said I just been winning. And then now you had to lie
Bobby Bones
to cover for money.
Eddie
But she hasn't asked since.
Mike
Oh, boy.
Bobby Bones
Is it because she doesn't want to know the answer and it's just to avoid a fight.
Eddie
I think she's just kind of forgotten about it, you know, like, that's not the money that we depend on. So I think in her mind that's out of sight, out of mind.
Bobby Bones
So if we did this league where we buy teams and last year we lost thousands of dollars for a couple of reasons. Joe Burrow getting hurt was one of them.
Eddie
That was stupid.
Mike
Probably the biggest.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's very unfortunate. Chiefs, Chiefs sucking. And then Mahomes getting hurt.
Mike
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So all of that happened.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
It's perfect storm for us to lose. Imagine, though, because I hit big the two years prior.
Eddie
But the one year that we jump on it, we don't hit it. And what was the team that we picked twice? Was it Miami?
Mike
Yeah.
Eddie
To win and lose.
Kevin
Yeah.
Eddie
Shouldn't it. Is that. Does that tactic work?
Bobby Bones
It has worked for me every year.
Eddie
But this year, this was the first year it didn't work.
Bobby Bones
It worked. We broke even.
Eddie
I know, but it's a waste because you have no way to catch up. Really. Because you're just like, ah, it's a team that we don't have.
Bobby Bones
But also, you can lose so much more if you have another losing team.
Eddie
True, true.
Bobby Bones
So it worked that we didn't lose more because down in that whatever. If you're. If you're in.
Eddie
I. I can't be alone, though, because, I mean, I'm looking at now my bag has gone down. It was. My bag isn't what it was last year.
Bobby Bones
What about your salsa money?
Eddie
I mean, I could definitely put it. Push into high gear and start making some salsa money. Quick.
Bobby Bones
Put that in.
Eddie
Let me see. On the next. I mean, how much time do we have?
Bobby Bones
What, today?
Eddie
July?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. August.
Eddie
August.
Bobby Bones
Two months.
Eddie
I have a solid month to make cash. And I'll let you know.
Bobby Bones
But the thing is, you have more than that because you don't pay till the end of the season.
Kevin
Yeah.
Eddie
Oh, dude. Then the pressure's on. Like, if we start. And then we start losing quick. I'm like, oh, God, more salsa. I need salsa sales, guys.
Mike
But then you have the holidays. You can sell for Christmas.
Bobby Bones
I thought we're gonna have Jason Garrett on today.
Mike
What? Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Kevin
What happened?
Bobby Bones
So it was. Hey, do you want Jason Garrett? Yep. We can do it this time. Got it. And then it was. He's not able to do it at that time. And then we're not going to be here later in the afternoon.
Eddie
Dang.
Bobby Bones
That's awesome. But I only was taking him because of you being a Cowboys fan. Do you have any ill will toward Jason Garrett?
Kevin
Nah.
Eddie
Nah. I mean, when he went to the Giants, I was weak.
Bobby Bones
We have a job. He got fired. He didn't have a job.
Eddie
Weird, though. I would still say no.
Bobby Bones
You would.
Eddie
Anybody in the.
Bobby Bones
You know, team loyalties aren't.
Eddie
What a. I understand.
Bobby Bones
Professional. You don't have those if you're like, in the industry.
Eddie
I know, dude, but you're. I mean, he was. He's a cowboy as a player, cowboy as a coach. He was a lifer. Cowboys guy. And all of a sudden, he plays for one of our biggest rivals.
Bobby Bones
Coaches.
Eddie
Coaches for one of our biggest rivals. Get out of here. It's like a Keller What?
Bobby Bones
A rival's not that. It's not real. And if you're in the business, it's literally just another business.
Eddie
I understand. But as a cowboy, you know, it's
Bobby Bones
like, would you go, you can ask him that if we get him on.
Mike
Yes. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
What are you going to say if he comes on? What are you going to say?
Eddie
Yeah, I'll just say, like, what were you thinking, man? What were you thinking, coach? Like, that's our biggest rival. And you said, yeah, I'll take that job.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. But what he's thinking is he probably needs to have money.
Eddie
I need money, you idiot.
Mike
And a job.
Bobby Bones
Pay for his mortgage.
Eddie
Like, would you go coach for Texas? Would you go?
Bobby Bones
If I were a coach, they probably wouldn't accept me. Too many pictures of me doing horns down.
Kevin
Got it.
Eddie
But that'll resurface for sure.
Bobby Bones
I know that dj, my brother in law who now is the head coach at Tulsa, when he was at Arkansas the first year, maybe the second year, Texas came to him and offered him the head assistant job. And he was the head assistant in Arkansas. And he ended up not taking the job for a bunch of reasons because he felt like he was close to being a head coach anyway. But he hates Texas and he still, if it had been right, taking that job. Because all that stuff goes out the window whenever it's real life situations.
Eddie
I know.
Mike
Especially Texas, like love them or hate him. It's still Texas.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I hate him.
Mike
Yeah. Yeah. But if you're a coach, I mean,
Eddie
come on, is there one team professionally, college, doesn't matter. One team that where you'd have to just say, I can't.
Bobby Bones
No. Because
Eddie
you already have a lot of money, dude. This isn't like you need, you really need.
Bobby Bones
I'm just not going to let the team thing affect me. Like I hate Texas, obviously, but I'd probably go and vomit for a couple days, get out of my system and put the orange on. But in baseball it'd be the Cardinals. We went and worked out with the Cardinals. That was awesome. But as a Cubs fan, you hate the Cardinals.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
As an Arkansas fan, you hate Texas. And I really haven't yet. So now, because I'm not 12 when it comes to like my job, I'm
Mike
12 because I could never work for the Yankees.
Kevin
You would.
Mike
No.
Tab Ramos
You would.
Mike
No. You know that whole Ben Affleck said no to a scene or something because he Yankees hat I want to say in town. That would be me.
Eddie
Really?
Mike
Yeah.
Eddie
And you're dead serious?
Mike
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
You got to have millions of dollars to be able to do that, though.
Mike
Yeah. I'm Ben Affleck.
Tab Ramos
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So in this situation, you're also Ben Affleck.
Mike
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eddie
We're pretending. And if I were pretending I would go with the Eagles, I would never be able to coach for the Eagles.
Bobby Bones
Then if we're pretending, I hate Texas. Never.
Mike
Okay.
Bobby Bones
But I'm actually playing the game with some realism.

Kevin
Oh, he's like one of my favorite directors.
Bobby Bones
Does a director really matter?
Kevin
Yes.
Eddie
Yes. He's the head.
Bobby Bones
No, I hear you, but I'm saying, does a director. If the movie's written well and you have great actors, isn't the director just going, no, look here. No, say it like this. Is that. Is that what a director is?
Kevin
Yeah, that's the whole thing. Like, that's how you make a great movie. That's like saying there's a great host on a radio show. Not matter. Of course it matters.
Bobby Bones
Well, no, because I have to create everything a director comes in and the scripts already written.
Kevin
Yeah, a lot of times he writes the scripts.
Mike
Oh, really?
Kevin
Yeah, he writes and directs a lot of his own.
Bobby Bones
That's different.
Mike
He's Dark Knight, right?
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Well, have all of his movies top
Mike
three movie right there.
Bobby Bones
Because I didn't. I didn't know until I saw a list of all the Christopher Nolan movies. And I was like, dang. He's got banger after banger. Like, massive bangers.
Eddie
Let's see.
Bobby Bones
So some of these I haven't seen, but I'll start with the ones I have.
Kevin
I've seen all of them.
Bobby Bones
So Oppenheimer comes out in 2023.
Eddie
Terrible.
Bobby Bones
I liked it.
Eddie
Such a bad movie. I fell asleep. Three years ago, I fell asleep at the IMAX theater, and it was made for IMAX.
Bobby Bones
I would give that 4 out of 5. What would you give it?
Eddie
1. 1 out of 5.
Bobby Bones
Didn't like all the talking.
Eddie
No, dude, it's about an atomic bomb. You know what? I missed that. The bomb. Why? It was only two minutes of the movie.
Bobby Bones
It wasn't really about the bomb. It was about what led to the bomb.
Eddie
I mean, he's, like, making out with some chick. Like, he's in meetings.
Kevin
One of the highest grossing biopics of all time.
Mike
Really?
Kevin
Yes.
Eddie
More than Ray?
Bobby Bones
Yes, that's the one you go to. I loved Ray. Tenet 2020. I love Tenet.
Kevin
Tenant was wild. It's like backwards. It takes you probably, like, two times to watch it, to really understand it, which is kind of a theme with Nolan movies.
Eddie
Their tenant was crazy because I watched that during COVID when there were no movies during COVID And I went. I went to the movie theater. Oh, wow. And it was like.
Bobby Bones
Did you rent the whole theater?
Eddie
No, it was. I think the rule was you can only, like. You had to be six seats apart or something. There was some kind of rule, I remember. But that was the only movie they were showing.
Bobby Bones
I like Tenet. I give that four. I like those movies because it was also in the future or something. Yeah, Yeah, I like those.
Eddie
That was a good one.
Bobby Bones
Tenet was good. Dunkirk, a World War II survival story. I never watched Dunkirk. Is Harry Styles in that?
Eddie
He is in that great movie. It is so good, dude.
Kevin
Really good.
Mike
Have you seen that Is okay. Like, I just remember the hype around. It was so big, and it was one of those. I was like, yeah, it was okay.
Eddie
You don't like war movies?
Mike
Of course I like war movies.
Eddie
Okay. Jeez.
Mike
My American.
Bobby Bones
You want more One Direction or what kind of.
Mike
When you get a sing.
Eddie
He's actually good in that movie too.
Kevin
He's a good actor.
Eddie
Yeah.
Mike
What?
Kevin
I like that.
Bobby Bones
If I just watched.
Kevin
I think you would like Dunkirk. Yes.
Bobby Bones
I didn't watch Dunkirk. Interstellar, one of the Best I need to put. That was one of my five star movies.
Eddie
Never seen it.
Bobby Bones
It's one.
Kevin
It.
Bobby Bones
That's one that you kind of got to watch twice. Because even if you watch it fully dialed in, you're gonna miss some stuff. Because didn't he bring on, like, actual astrophysicists to consult the movie?
Kevin
Actual scientists, they wrote, like, theories based on the movie because of all the things they got into it, like teaches you about wormholes. Great story.
Bobby Bones
McConaughey's in it.
Eddie
Okay. I was gonna ask.
Mike
I want to watch that one.
Eddie
Is that McConaughey and Jody Foster.
Bobby Bones
Is Jody Foster in that? Interstellar?
Kevin
I think it's. Anne Hathaway's in it. Timothy Chalamet is in it.
Bobby Bones
Shallow is like a kid.
Mike
Yeah.
Kevin
He's, like, really young in the beginning.
Eddie
That's good.
Mike
I don't see.
Bobby Bones
You know, I don't know if you'd like it.
Eddie
Yeah, because it's aliens.
Bobby Bones
No, but you have to. You have to focus.
Kevin
I could focus a lot of science.
Bobby Bones
You didn't like Oppenheimer. That's. That's just a focus.
Eddie
They're just in meetings the whole time. We should build a bomb. Build it, then blow it up.
Kevin
It is really emotional. To Matthew McConaughey.
Bobby Bones
Interstellar. Five stars.
Kevin
Yeah.
Mike
That cast is insane.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's so good.
Mike
Wow.
Bobby Bones
So then we got The Dark Knight 2008. Excellent movie.
Eddie
Legit.
Mike
5 out of 5.
Kevin
My favorite movie of all time.
Bobby Bones
That's Heath Ledger. Joker.
Mike
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Dark Knight rises 2012. I guess there are three dark nights, huh?
Kevin
Yeah. There's the Batman Begins, Dark Knight, and the Dark Knight Rises.
Bobby Bones
Oh, Batman Begins is before the Dark Knight.
Kevin
Yeah.
Eddie
And Nolan did all those.
Kevin
Did all three. Basically. Once he had success with that, he could do any movie he wants.
Bobby Bones
So Batman Begins. Did Batman show up in that one?
Kevin
That's. Yeah. Christian Bale's, like, origin story of, like, him training to become Batman.
Bobby Bones
Does that start out in the bottom, like, the well or whatever that is?
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Is that that one?
Eddie
Yeah, the well.
Bobby Bones
It's. It's a massive hole. He's down in it. Like, is it. It's a prison hole or something I haven't seen in forever.
Mike
That's one with Cillian Murphy.
Bobby Bones
Is that from Tommy Shelton?
Mike
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
You like Dark Knight better than Batman Rises? Batman Begins?
Tab Ramos
Yeah.
Kevin
Dark Knights. Way better.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so there's those three. I've seen all those. They're all excellent. The Prestige.
Tab Ramos
Yeah.
Kevin
That's the magician movie.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
It's good.
Kevin
Yeah.
Eddie
Who's in that one.
Bobby Bones
Is Christian Bale in that one too?
Kevin
Yes, Christian Bale.
Mike
Hugh Jackman.
Kevin
Yeah, yeah.
Mike
Michael Caine's in all of his movies.
Bobby Bones
The Prestige is really good. I didn't expect it to be.
Eddie
Have you seen that one?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's about magicians and like the competition between them type thing or the competition to make a trick.
Eddie
Is that like take place in old days? Like the old.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. That's probably why I didn't expect it to be good. Because I don't like old time stuff.
Eddie
I love that stuff.
Bobby Bones
The Prestige 2006. Two rival magicians become obsessed without doing each other.
Eddie
I'm gonna watch that one.
Bobby Bones
That one I think you'll like.
Kevin
Yeah. Out of all these, I think Eddie would like that one the best because
Eddie
it takes place in the old days.
Mike
Yeah, 1800s, maybe.
Bobby Bones
Got some great movies. I've not seen Insomnia.
Kevin
Yeah, it's Al Pacino.
Bobby Bones
And is Robin Williams the bad guy?
Kevin
Yes. He's trying to figure out the crime and then he stops sleeping, basically.
Eddie
Oh, insomnia.
Bobby Bones
So is Robin Williams.
Kevin
He's trying to know. Al Pacino is trying to track down Robin Williams.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so Al Pacino gets Insomnia.
Kevin
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Got it. They good?
Kevin
Really good.
Bobby Bones
Really good or good? Some of these movies do they just get better? Because he's had more success though.
Kevin
Yeah. Because probably when this movie first came out wasn't super successful. But when you go back and like watch all of his movies, you're like,
Bobby Bones
oh, yeah, that was next level Memento.
Eddie
Oh, that one was so good.
Bobby Bones
It is.
Eddie
This is a guy that has short term memory, Right.
Kevin
He has like tattoos all over his body because that's how he remembers trying to like piece it all together. But he keeps forgetting.
Eddie
That's so good.
Tab Ramos
Dude.
Eddie
That's not. I mean, that's got to be early 2000s, right?
Bobby Bones
It's 2002.
Kevin
That was.
Eddie
I remember that movie. He had a barcode.
Bobby Bones
Is it that good?
Kevin
It's pretty good.
Mike
Could it hold up today?
Eddie
I don't know.
Mike
I haven't watched.
Eddie
I mean, I watched it once, but
Kevin
I remember thinking, rewatched it maybe like during COVID It was still pretty good.
Bobby Bones
The other one is a low budget one that doesn't count. Called the Fall Following.
Kevin
Yeah, I don't really count that one.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, because it was one of his first and didn't have a bunch of money. But he's got again. He's got a fricking greatest hits album.
Mike
Yeah, that's pretty legit.
Eddie
So, my son. Are you guys doing IMAX on this one. On.
Bobby Bones
No, we're going to the close movie
Eddie
because my son was telling me that this is going to be. And you can correct me if I'm wrong or he's wrong, Mike, but he said this is gonna be the first all 70 millimeter IMAX feature film that's ever been made.
Kevin
Correct. There's never been a movie shot entirely like this.
Bobby Bones
How will that affect my viewing experience?
Kevin
You probably wouldn't care about it. I think the average person wouldn't care about it. It is. It affects the aspect ratio. So the screen is going to look massive where a normal movie theater is going to cut off maybe like 40% of it. If you go see it in 70 millimeter IMAX, you're seeing like full wall to wall.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I don't think that would affect me.
Eddie
And I think Oppenheimer is what my son was telling me. I think Oppenheimer was shot maybe 15% of the movie was. Was with that camera.
Kevin
Yeah. Because it's so expensive to shoot. And it also takes a long time. Like it takes. They can only run the camera for three minutes at a time. So they'll shoot a scene three minutes. They'll have to stop, pause, reset, everything. Actors have to hold their positions and then they restart again. And it's like incredibly loud.
Eddie
Yes. And he said it was loud, so he. No, Nolan. What's now Christopher Nolan. Christopher Nolan went to IMAX and said, build me one that's quieter so I can do the whole movie. And they did.
Kevin
Yeah. So he basically built like this giant box that's like a chamber over to the camera, so when they're running it, the actors can't hear it because if they hear it, it affects their performance.
Bobby Bones
It feels like that's what people were dealing with when movies first started. Just normal cameras. We only got so we only record so much. It's loud.
Kevin
So this is why I'm saying it matters who the director is, because he's going to these crazy extremes to make the perfect movie, to get all these little details that maybe not everybody's going to care about, but they make a big difference.
Bobby Bones
A movie I forgot was Inception. Oh, that's really good.
Mike
So good.
Bobby Bones
DiCaprio. Dreams.
Mike
Oh, yeah.
Eddie
Don't think I saw that.
Kevin
Dream within. A dream within.
Eddie
I don't think so.
Bobby Bones
I don't know if you like it or not. Every movie that's smart, we tell Eddie. I don't know, man.
Mike
You gotta do a lot of thinking.
Bobby Bones
I don't know if it's for you, man. You really gotta focus and lay it
Eddie
out there because that's kind of my style. I don't want to think too much during a movie. I just want to enjoy it.
Bobby Bones
So what should I watch then? If I do watch one of these movies that I haven't seen, I would say Momento.
Kevin
I feel like that's more your style.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so the ones I haven't seen are Momento, Insomnia, Dunkirk.
Kevin
Yeah, I would go momento, Dunkirk, then Insomnia. Insomnia kind of feels early. 2000s.
Bobby Bones
Okay, I'll watch. I'll try to watch Momento this weekend then.
Eddie
Cool.
Bobby Bones
Cuz we're going to watch the Odyssey. My wife did hit me up this morning and go, are we sure we want to go? Because it was her idea to go. And I said, well, I bought the tickets a month ago for anniversary. And I said, why do you think maybe we don't want to go? She was like, it's three hours and we're exhausted by seven.
Mike
Dude, he's such a dad.
Eddie
Now I know you're sounding like us.
Mike
You're planning a movie a month out and then, well, you had to get
Bobby Bones
tickets to this a month out.
Mike
Okay, okay, never mind.
Bobby Bones
It wasn't that.
Eddie
Have you ever fallen asleep during a movie in a movie theater?
Bobby Bones
Not accidentally.
Eddie
Oh, you did it on purpose.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Movie sucks. And I know we're not leaving. I'll just go to sleep.
Eddie
You're like, I'm just going to roll over.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I'll just check out. Um, so no, not accidentally. She said, I don't know if we'll last three hours.
Eddie
So good luck.
Bobby Bones
When are you going?
Kevin
Going? Yeah, Friday night.
Bobby Bones
What time?
Kevin
Six.
Bobby Bones
We're going to the same. No, you're going to imax, huh?
Kevin
Yeah. We're not going to the same theater.
Eddie
Yeah, you got.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I mean, I'm basically watching it on my phone.
Eddie
Small screen.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's getting good reviews though.
Kevin
Yeah, I think it's his highest rated movie so far, which is crazy.
Eddie
Mike, you haven't seen it. I figured you were invited to all these like, private early screens.
Kevin
I was invited to one on Monday, but I'm like, I can't go watch a three hour movie on a Monday night.
Mike
Yeah, that's fair.
Bobby Bones
I just got a message. Jason Garrett, Maybe you come on next week.
Mike
All right, Eddie, have your question ready.
Eddie
Jason Garrett heard Eddie talking. He doesn't want to come on anymore.
Bobby Bones

Kevin
As the Chiefs.
Mike
Yep.

And who are.
Mike
Wait. Yeah. Where'd they start?
Eddie
So Texas, right?
Kevin
Are they the Texans?
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Texans.
Mike
Okay. That's what threw me off. I was like, is it the Chiefs? When you said the afl? NFL, but okay. Dang.
Kevin
You want the final one for fun?
Mike
Heck, yeah.
Kevin
Little victory run number one. Their franchise began in Portsmouth, Ohio, before relocating.
Mike
Kevin.
Kevin
Kevin.
Eddie
You're the only one playing, dude.
Mike
Am I?
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Mike
The Browns. No. Okay, go ahead.
Kevin
Next one. You might get it. They have never appeared in a Super bowl despite being one of the oldest franchises.
Eddie
Oh, wow.
Mike
That's gotta be the Vikings.
Bobby Bones
Guess.
Eddie
The Browns again.
Mike
Vikings.
Kevin
No.
Mike
Okay, give me another clue.
Kevin
Their current head coach promised to bite bite kneecaps during his first press conference.
Mike
Oh, the Lions. Dan Campbell.
Kevin
There we go. Kevin is the winner.
Eddie
Good job, Kevin.
Mike
Thanks, guys.
Eddie
Pretty good. Hey, have you guys seen the new Rocky trailer for that movie? I think it's called I play Rocky.
Kevin
I play Rocky. It looks awesome, dude.
Eddie
I saw it on TikTok yesterday and it. I saw it three times. I'm like, first off, that actor who's playing Sylvester Stallone is just through the trailer. Looks like he's gonna do a great job.
Kevin
Looks just like him. Sounds just like him.
Eddie
Yeah.
Mike
I thought it was a parody when I first started. Yeah.
Eddie
So I wanna write a movie.
Kevin
Yeah. Kind of like a SNL skater.
Mike
Yes, exactly.
Eddie
A really high quality sn.
Mike
Yeah, that's what I thought. But, yeah, it does look awesome.
Eddie
Doesn't look good.
Mike
Yeah.
Eddie
Mike, you're a movie guy. I'm sure you love that.
Kevin
I mean, they're kind of getting a two for one here because they already made Rocky, which is probably the greatest just underdog story of all time. And now they're making a movie about the movie and itself is an underdog story. Because it's him betting on himself.
Eddie
Yes.
Kevin
He was like, all right, I want to write this script. And in order for me to get the best part, that's what I have to do.
Eddie
Yeah.
Kevin
So he writes himself the best part, names the movie after him, and then is like, I'm not making this movie. I'm not selling it to you. Unless I get to play Rocky. That's awesome.
Eddie
I wonder how much the Rocky franchises has made. Because, like, you think about all the Rockies and does this fall under that category? Because, like, you got Rocky 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Balboa. Then you got Creeds, which. How many creeds are the three?
Kevin
There's three creeds.
Eddie
Yeah, three creeds. And then now I play Rocky. Is that count?
Kevin
As I would say, it counts. All the Rocky movies have made $1.7 billion worldwide.
Eddie
I mean, honestly, I thought it'd be more.
Mike
Me too.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
That's a lot of money.
Eddie
That is a lot of money. But I thought it would be more than a billion because of all the movies that there are, do you think
Mike
it's made more than Fast and Furious?
Kevin
No way. One Fast and the Furious movie will make a billion dollars.
Mike
That's crazy.
Eddie
See, that's why I thought it'd make a lot more.
Mike
Yeah, that is true. I didn't know he wrote Rocky. Yeah, I never knew that.
Eddie
Yes.
Mike
Wow.
Eddie
Wait, wait. So did you not know that after you watched the trailer, or did you not know it now?
Mike
I didn't know it now.
Eddie
So in the trailer.
Mike
Yeah, I. I guess I didn't pay attention to it that much. I just looked at the.
Eddie
I just look at the pictures.
Mike
Yeah, I just looked at the pictures and I heard Stallone's voice.
Kevin
That's pretty good. The Fast and the Furious movies have made $7 billion globally.
Eddie
That's crazy.
Kevin
Like, for their lower budget movies to the Rocky movies, it's not like they have a bunch of, like, superhero elements to Them like, they're pretty bare minimum.
Eddie
When's the last time you watch Rocky 1?
Kevin
Probably around the time where Creed 3 came out. I rewatched all the Creed 1 and 2 and then I went back and watched Rocky 1. So that was probably like four years ago.
Mike
Me, dude, I couldn't tell you 20 years ago. Really? Oh, yeah. I mean, they're, they're okay. I'm not like, oh, Rocky's awesome kind of guy.
Eddie
Dude, Rocky to me is one of the best sports movies ever because it's such an underdog story, you know, like, and it's just, I think it even helps now knowing that Sylvester Stallone wrote it, bet on himself to play it. And look at the career Sylvester Stallone made because he decided to play Rocky when the record. When the movie execs were like, you're not. You're not an actor. Yeah, like, you're not going to play this even now. I think it's one of the greatest sports movies now.
Kevin
And could you imagine walking away from that money? Because they, they keep offering more and more money and he's like, no, I think it gets up to like a million dollars. Like, I think I would sell it at that point. But he saw like, the long game of like, this is going to be a franchise and I want to be attached to it forever. If I just sold it off, then I'm screwed.
Eddie
And I just kept thinking of like the, you know, modern day Sylvester Stallone. Like, dude, he lives in a mansion. Like, that was the best decision he could have ever made.
Mike
Yeah. Set for life, generational.
Eddie
Yeah.
Mike
Yeah. That's pretty awesome.
Eddie
No, I thought that.
Mike
When does it come out?
Eddie
November.
Mike
Mike, you guys gonna see this? Well, I know Mike will. Eddie, will you see it in theaters?
Eddie
100%.
Mike
Really?
Eddie
Yes. And two. And also too, I watched Rocky one last night. Not all of it.
Mike
After you watch the trailer.
Eddie
Dude, I was so inspired. It's on Netflix and I saw it on there. I'm like, I'm watching this and it's something like, dude, it's so rare to watch something with my kids in the room. Sports really is the only thing that we can really watch that's like, safe. But then Rocky 1, I feel it's pretty safe. And so I watched a little bit of it. Dude, the fighting scenes. Mike looks so bad. So, so bad. They don't even make contact with each other.
Mike
Your kids liked it.
Eddie
They love it.
Mike
Really?
Eddie
Yes.
Kevin
But then you see it in this trailer of him, like teaching Carl Weathers. He's like, I don't know how to box.
Eddie
I'm an actor, right. I love the director being like, stop hugging his neck. It's boxing.
Kevin
I was so motivated by this movie. I remember when I ran my first or my second marathon, I was like, I want to time it out. So the song I end on is the Rocky theme song. So I could. I could hear that in my ears as I was like, crossing the finish line. Dude, that's such a good feeling. Like, that's such a motivating song just on its own.
Eddie
What do you. What do you mean? You, like, planned your playlist?
Kevin
Yeah, so I designed my whole playlist and I kind of knew, like, my finish time. So I was like, around the three hour and, like, 25 minute mark. I want this song to come on. So that's what happened. Like, right as I got to that, I was about to cross the finish line. I just hear, da na na.
Mike
No way. That's cool.
Kevin
My legs are exhausted. But that's what kept me going, hearing that Rocky theme song, because I just visualized Rocky just running full speed down the street.
Eddie
Did you ever look at the playlist and be like, oh, crap, I'm falling behind. Like, I'm barely on Blink 182.
Kevin
Well, now then my headphones started to die, like, towards the end of it. I was like, oh, my gosh, they have to survive.
Mike
Did you ever want to skip a song? You're like, why did I put this on here? But I can't because it's got a timeout.
Eddie
That's funny.
Mike
That's a good point.
Eddie
That's awesome. So what happened to you? Like, are you.
Mike
You hurt guys? I don't know. I. I've had some really, like, dumb ways of getting hurt in my life, and this is for sure in the top three. What I was doing was legit. Just in my backyard picking up dog poop. No joke. I was about to go on a run. Speaking of Rocky, just like Rocky. So you were.
Eddie
You're dressed in your Lululemons and.
Mike
Yes, yes, the cut off, no, no shirt.
Eddie
You had your playlist ready.
Mike
Had my playlist ready. And I literally was on, like, a ledge. I have like a foot ledge on my patio out back. And I. There's like a table that's pretty much flush with it. You just kind of got to step over it or just go around it. And me being me, I was like, I'm not gonna go around. I'm just gonna step over it real quick and go throw this in the trash can. As I pushed off with My right leg, I felt, like, a twist in my knee. And then when I landed, I just heard a big pop, and I was. And then I just couldn't put any weight on it. An instant pain. And I was like, mother effer. Are you kidding me right now? And at first I just thought, oh, I. I just popped my knee out. Like, maybe I can just pop it back in real quick. Because this knee has done that over the years.
Eddie
You can pop your knee back in,
Mike
it randomly, like, locks up, and then it'll just, like, boom, Pop loose. Which probably now, looking back on it, it probably wasn't good, but it just randomly happened. And it's one of those things that happens. You move on. You're like, I'm just getting older, I guess. I don't know. And, yeah, this time it wasn't good. It wasn't going back in. I can't extend my leg fully. It feels like it's locked. It's the weirdest thing ever. It feels like it's locked, like, on the inside, like the MCL area. And my wife's like, we got to take you to the er.
Eddie
But you can bend it.
Mike
I can bend it, but I can't straighten it.
Eddie
Huh.
Mike
And so went to the ER and got X rays.
Eddie
What was the way to the er?
Mike
Do nothing.
Eddie
Nice.
Mike
Yeah, it was like a new one over by my house. She was like, there's a new one. I was like, try it out. We literally walked in. There's not even anybody working at the desk. We had to ring the doorbell.
Bobby Bones
Wow.
Eddie
Such an emergency room.
Mike
Actually, let me tell you a story real quick. And then we walk in there, we ring the doorbell, and this guy comes out. He's like, are you guys. Are you here for the er? Yeah, dude.
Eddie
You guys look around. Like, I think, yes. Is that where we are?
Mike
Is that where I'm at? I think it says emergency room on the outside. And then so he puts me in a wheelchair, and he rolls me to the back, and there's another nurse with him. I think he was, like, in training. And there's another nurse with him. We walked to the back, and then all of a sudden, like, these, like, nurses and doctors come out of the woodworks. Dude, it was the weirdest thing. Like, nobody was doing anything.
Eddie
Like, were they all having lunch somewhere? And then, like, that's what it looked.
Mike
That's what it looked like, dude. And they all come out of the woodworks, and they walked me to the back, and they're like, oh, should we take him to room four?
Eddie
No, well, you can pick a room, doc. They're all open.
Mike
And then the nurse is like, yeah, let's go. Oh, no, wait. If he's got to get this. And now let's do room eight. Okay, let's go to the room eight. Then they start walking me like, ah, wait, but if he needs this. And they look at another guy and they're like, where should. And he's like, you should probably go to room one. You're like, okay, yeah, yeah, Room one it is.
Eddie
Like, just pick a room.
Kevin
Turns out they only have one room.
Mike
Bunch of jokers who's playing this joke on me. And then they back me up in the room one, which is right when you enter in, of course. And we passed it five minutes ago. And then he. He backs me in the wheelchair, and the nurse is still following me in front of me, and he stops me, and she literally, like, bumps me with her shin on my hurt knee.
Eddie
On purpose?
Mike
No, on accident. Because she wasn't paying attention.
Eddie
This sounds terrible. Stooges. Why I.
Mike
Awful. And I'm like, what?
Eddie
Sick joke says?
Mike
And then the guy turns me in the wheelchair next to the bed, and then he bumps the bed with my knee.
Eddie
And then the. The bed flips over like, sandwiches.
Mike
Yeah, dude. And I'm like, okay, maybe I should not have come here.
Eddie
Yeah, like, that's why it's empty.
Mike
Exactly. Exactly. So that was. Thank God. That was the last of, like, all that stuff that happened. And then I got an X ray. I was there for like, two and a half hours and negative on the X rays, but now I got to schedule an mri.
Eddie
So negative on broken bones.
Mike
Yes.
Eddie
So that means, like, messed up ligament.
Kevin
Yeah.
Mike
He's like, we can't see anything unless you get an mri. And you can see the inside of the knee from all the homework I was doing on it, of course. With chat. GPT. Of course. Yeah. This is. I want to see if they're right, by the way. I want to put this on the record so you guys hear it too. It says a pattern is likely called a. It's a bucket handle meniscus tear.
Eddie
And meniscus is your knee, right?
Mike
Yeah, the inside of your knee. And what's it?
Eddie
Bucket handle.
Mike
Bucket handle. So what it is, is it looks like a bucket. Like a handle on a bucket. Part of your knee or your meniscus pops off, and then that goes in between your knee and the meniscus. And that's why it can't lock back into place and straighten your leg, because that's blocking It. Yeah, I did a lot of research.
Eddie
I've never heard of that.
Mike
Me neither. And it said, you know, could possibly be some ACL and MCL stuff too. So I just hope it's a meniscus thing. It could be anything from like an arthroscop, arthoscopic, scopic, Scopic surgery, orthoscopic. Arthur. Arthur.
Eddie
What is it, Mike?
Kevin
I don't know.
Eddie
Arthroscopic surgery or like your knee scoped.
Mike
Yeah, knee scoped. Or like a full on surgery where they, like, take it out and all that kind of stuff.
Eddie
So question about the er. Like, don't they have an MRI machine there?
Mike
Like, dude, they said they didn't have one. And I was like, okay, because it's
Eddie
weird that you go to the hospital, right? Because it's a hospital, right? Or is it just.
Mike
Just an er? Just an emergency room.
Eddie
Oh, so it's like an urgent career?
Mike
Pretty much. But it says emergency room, not urgent care.
Eddie
Interesting.
Mike
Yeah.
Kevin
Emergency spelled right. Like emergency.
Mike
That is a good question.
Eddie
It's got one letter wrong, but that could be, like, ever. Like, this is one honey that got me one time. And it's. It said local Honey, and I'm like, oh, that's what I need for my allergies. Turns out the name was Local Honey.
Mike
The actual name of the brand.
Eddie
Yeah, it was made out of New York, but it was called Local Honey. I'm like, dang it.
Kevin
Maybe it's like this maybe private company around here. That was like, ambulance.
Mike
Actually, one more story, dude.
Eddie
The guy's like, yes, I've seen that, Mike.
Mike
He's like, we're gonna give you a tour, doll shot. I'm like, all right, cool. I've had those before. They suck. But it's take the pain away. And then he picks out this big old needle and he holds it up and he's like, yeah, it's gonna be this big old needle. And I'm like, all right, yeah, it's all good, man. I've had it before. Like, let's just get it over with. And he's like, I'm just kidding. It's just a little more.
Eddie
You're right. Hit the horn again, Mike.
Kevin
Dude, this is not a real.
Eddie
Bunch of joker swear.
Kevin
Dude, this sounds like when you go to, like that comedy defensive driving.
Eddie
Dude, those guys are so bad. They're not funny at all.
Mike
Yeah, it was. Yeah. And he started laughing and I was like, bro, I just want to get my knee fixed, man. Let's go. Come on.
Kevin
We're gonna have to take your leg.
Mike
Yeah, we're gonna saw your leg off.
Eddie
Just kidding.
Mike
Yeah, just kidding.
Eddie
Speaking of er, though, like, my. My sister is a. Like a trauma nurse or whatever. She said that her hospital has changed the name to E. An ed.
Mike
Erectile.
Eddie
Just changed it to Emergency Department.
Mike
Is that like some cancel thing culture?
Eddie
I have no idea. But I'm like, you can't call it an ed. Like, oh, shoot, I'm hurt. I gotta go to the ed. Like, that doesn't work.
Mike
Yeah, that wouldn't make any sense to me.
Bobby Bones
I bet.
Mike
What is that?
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, Emergency Department.
Mike
Interesting.
Eddie
But she's like, no more people are doing that. So, like, before you know it, the hospitals are all going to be eds.
Mike
Maybe that's what this was. So don't go to an ed. Yeah, so we'll see what happens. I got to get mri, but, man, it really sucks.
Eddie
So when you took off, like, your.
Mike
Your knee just buckled, dude, is the weirdest thing. Yeah, like, I. It happened to be like a certain plant twist. And then I felt it come a little loose as I'm in the air. And mind you, I'm only a foot off the air. And then I landed and I heard, like everybody says in sports, whatever, pop, like a loud pop in my knee, and I felt it and it just gave out.
Eddie
That's crazy, dude.
Mike
And then now I feel the worst for my wife because I'm just getting over this shoulder and she's got the kids and now I can't walk.
Eddie
Yeah, you're kind of pointless.
Mike
Yeah, I should just leave.
Eddie
End it, dude. Just be done. I went to the doctor yesterday and it was like, a new doctor, right? That's gonna be my new primary care physician or whatever. And she was asking me like, have you ever broken a bone? And I was like, ah, yeah, yeah. This is my chance to tell her my St. Louis Cardinal story. She's like, because I was looking at your family history and, like, there's a lot of stuff that goes along with high blood pressure and, like, diabetes where you get brittle bone. So. So what happened? She was like, so what happened? How did you break your bones? Like, this is it. This is the shot. I said, yeah, I was practicing with the St. Louis Cardinals, and I kind of.
Mike
You said it like that.
Eddie
Yeah, Yeah, I stepped the wrong way on second base there at Busch Stadium there in St. Louis. And, man, just like. And it's like, yeah. And I kind of just twisted my ankle a little bit and then, yeah, I broke that side bone. She was like, yeah, see, that's what we worry about stuff that's not really a huge sports injury. And I'm like, no, no, it was a huge sports injury.
Kevin
No, no, it was bottom of the ninth.
Eddie
You didn't hear me? I was working out with the St. Louis Cardinals.
Mike
Yeah, you know, MLB, the actual team. Paul Goldschmidt was there. Here's a YouTube. Check it out.
Eddie
I player Too Much access. Yeah, she didn't get it, dude.
Mike
You know, I was watching. I came across somehow the other night. I was looking at old pictures and I was watching. It was during our Too Much Access time. And, dude, there was like a weekend, like a four day span where we were in Dallas for the All Star Game. And then like came home for one day and went all the way to Oregon for a day and then came home the next day and I'm like, dang.
Eddie
We were running, we're jet setting. Dude, that was crazy what you do, man.
Tab Ramos
I know.
Eddie
Tour life, road life, baby. All right, that's it.
Mike
Wait, I gotta give Mike one thing. This is. This could be part of the outro, no problem. But I came across this the other day and I thought of Mike and I was like, I gotta get this.
Eddie
I was wondering what that was.
Mike
Yeah, I got it. So, Mike, I can't walk, but if you want to come grab it.
Eddie
You really can't walk?
Mike
No, I got crutches. Mike brought me crutches.
Eddie
But why are they not in the studio? Like, why did you hobble from the door?
Mike
Because it's just a pain. I'm stubborn.
Eddie
Okay.
Mike
Yeah, I can just show.
Eddie
I think. I think Mike needs to run the board. So he's just.
Mike
Yeah, yeah, I'll just show you. Look.
Eddie
Hey, here, show the camera. Oh, that's cool.
Mike
That's pretty awesome.
Eddie

Eddie

Eddie
Yeah, they sell that? Old Navy.

Episode Focus: Sports hypotheticals, quarterback rankings, Christopher Nolan’s films, team loyalty vs. professionalism, and a bizarre trip to the ER
In this lively episode of 25 Whistles, Bobby and the crew dig into a little bit of everything: they debate which is harder—hitting a Major League pitch or scoring in pro soccer, dissect the entertainment value and mechanics of Christopher Nolan’s best movies, and discuss the deeply personal question of sports fandom versus taking a job for a rival. Along the way, they debate top NFL quarterbacks, share humorous stories about sports betting escapades, and recount an unforgettable ER visit for a knee injury. They round off the episode with a competitive “Name That Team” sports trivia game, and reflections on the enduring impact of the Rocky franchise.

Kevin recounts a recent, comically frustrating ER trip after injuring his knee collecting dog poop.
Diagnosis unclear; likely a “bucket handle meniscus tear.” Awaiting MRI.
On sports rivalries and real life:
“All that stuff goes out the window whenever it’s real life situations.” — Bobby Bones [16:37]
On Christopher Nolan's obsessiveness:
“He’s going to these crazy extremes to make the perfect movie, to get all these little details that maybe not everybody’s going to care about, but they make a big difference.” — Kevin [30:07]
ER Experience:
“It was the weirdest thing… nobody was there, then all these doctors just come out of the woodwork.” — Mike [51:28]
Rocky motivation:
“That’s such a motivating song just on its own.” — Kevin, on running a marathon to the Rocky theme [48:19]
Never a dull moment—whether dissecting Nolan’s filmography, commiserating about sports betting, or navigating questionable ERs, the 25W crew keeps it real, relatable, and highly entertaining.
