Before we jump into that, Darren, before we start to record, last episode, you said you did not watch quarterback.

And so actually, let's talk about that first, and then we'll talk about your review on quarterback.

How much joy are you getting from the memes of literal other sports teams and stuff like that? Like the Mets came out saying, hey, we scored four in respect of Jaden Daniels.

These are literally... like obviously it's like an intern that's working but these are like mlb like professional like it's one thing if it's like a reddit community meaning it but these are like it's going on mainstream but with that being it probably brings you so much fucking joy right now because i think you did a complete 180 you loved jayden
it was some of them are so funny like somebody posted a picture of deon sanders with his toe cut off and they were like he cut off his toe to only have four on one foot in respect to jayden daniels And it's like, so creative, but that's like, that's so funny.
But he, I mean, personally, I think he like rightfully so deserves to be.
And honestly, after watching the quarterback show, I think a lot of it is due to his mom.
um but

yeah you so you finally oh finally what am i saying you finally saw quarterback what are some of your takeaways outside of jane and daniels and then we'll come back to
him it was uh baker joe flacco um jade daniels and cam ward and i think three of the four after watching it come off as like super likable like relatable like nice dudes um jane daniel and he would like get
Yeah, like literally Joe Flacco, when I know like he's like not like super, super famous anymore.
At this point, he's like 45 years old and he's just like now he's Joe Burrow's backup.
But like he would go to this pizza place in Cincinnati on Friday nights by himself and like just hang out with the people there like a normal dude.
And

You just clock in and you're sitting there and you look up and you're like, dude, who's this gigantic guy coming? Oh, damn.
of.

There's no fucking way Joe Flacco is sitting here alone, eating at my minimum paid wage.

Obviously, he went to a much nicer place than, like, what I'm talking about, right? He didn't go to, like, a Blaze Pizza or something like that.
