(00:21):
you went to the Rainbow Kitty Surprisethis past weekend. Correct man. What
a tremendous show. And I actuallytalk about it in the new episode that
dropped today. See how that works. I was like setting you up so
you cold knock at them. Butwe're gonna go right on out to the
Kawa Common Spirit Health Hotline and bringon our guy Ryan Michael because it's time
for Inside the Numbers, No insidethe Numbers with Ryan Michael. Right.

(00:43):
How you doing this evening? Doingwell? Then? Nick? How are
you guys doing pretty well? Wegave you a little assignment, a dynasty
assignment, if you will, notthe New England Patriots, but a football
bloodlines sort of assignment as we havequite a few of the those here in
Denver, whether that's McCaffrey's, theMannings, the Sute, now the Ellis's,

(01:04):
Elsie's, Elis's ls I. Howdo we I don't know how we
pluralize that, but we have alot of bloodline type stuff here in Denver
and father son, brothers, allthat kind of stuff, and it's been
you know, it's fascinating that Ithink that that we had those football lineage
type type of things. What wereyou able to find out or what can

(01:29):
you dazzle us with in terms ofstatistics from these football bloodlines. Well,
there's a lot of fun stuff totalk about and probably more than we can
cram into one segment. A statthat I had stumbled on before coming on
this evening isn't related to any ofthose four families, but a shout out
to the Greasy family because you havePro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Bob Greasy

(01:49):
led the NFL in passerating eighty sevenpoint eight nineteen seventy seven. His son,
Brian Greasy led the NFL in passeratingone to two point nine in two
thousand of the odds that two quarterbacksin a twenty three year span, which
is roughly the duration of Tom Brady'scareer, would both lead the NFL in
passer rating. That's really interesting froma standpoint, but I would have come

(02:15):
a little closer to home, likereally really closed because christ McCaffrey just got
a new deal with the San Franciscoforty nine ers. That's kind of taking
that running back market that most havedevalued. It's a whole different level.
But I remember Kristen when he wasmuch of a younger kid running around with
his dad, my former teammate aMcCaffrey. But what numbers do you have

(02:38):
on those two and their legacy asfather and son and both both incredible football
players. So I'll touch on Christianfor just a second. You know,
you're looking at a guy who,right now, at age twenty seven,
has already produced ten thousand, fivehundred and five yards from strandage and eighty
one total touchdowns. The cool statalso because I always appreciate players who have

(03:01):
success regardless of the surroundings, theteam, the system. He's led the
NFL in both total yards from scrimishand total touchdowns with two different teams.
He did it with Carolina in twentynineteen he had twosand and three hundred ninety
three yards nineteen touchdowns. And hedid it last year in San Francisco twenty
twenty three yards and twenty one touchdowns. And when you consider the pedigree that

(03:23):
he's coming from, Eddie Mack isone of my all time favorite Broncos And
I'll start with nineteen ninety four,before he truly became need McCaffrey that we
appreciated here in Broncos country, hewas with Mike Fanahan in ninety four with
the forty nine ers, very smallsample size there, he caught eleven of
fourteen targets seventy eight point six percent. He had a seventy one point four

(03:44):
percent success percentage, which was anefficient symmetric per Pro Football Reference, those
two numbers would have ranked second andnumber one amongst wide receivers in the NFL
that year if it were a largersample size enough to qualify so cool that
he want to ring there, hegoes on the Denver. He has three
consecutive one thousand yard years ninety eight, ninety nine, two thousand, and

(04:04):
you know, it's not surprising tosee receivers do well with John Elway drawing
them the football. But the combinationof Bubby Brister and Brian Greasy later ed
McCaffrey from nineteen ninety nine to twothousand amongst all players in the NFL sixth
in receptions one seventy two, tenthin receiving yards two thousand, three hundred
and thirty five, eighth in touchdownreceptions sixteen, and eighth in first downs

(04:29):
one hundred and fourteen. So bearin mind he's one hundred and seventy two
receptions during that two year stand.Works more than Randy Moss and Tara Loan
too, respectively, caught one hundredand fifty seven passes each. Wow,
that's fascinating. Style a fight.You know, Christian obviously leads the way
in money earned for the family afterthe new contract. Side, it's like

(04:49):
you know, walking up to yourdad being the big ball. You know
they go out, Dad, youknow you did all this. But in
the family, I'm just saying,you know, I think they got of
course, the brothers, it's incrediblyit's like family overall, and you have
Max and Dylan and Luke and theincredibly and to be fair, at least
it might be the most athletic onall of them, what all said and
done, But you know, itis what it is. I think.

(05:10):
I think the mcaffis are kind ofColorado royalty as far as as far as
that goes. Is Christian Hall ofFamer? Is he a future Hall of
Famer in my opinion if he retiredtoday. Yes, very different style of
play, but very Jim Brown asksin the sense that he's been dominant pretty
much from the time he entered theleague in two thousand and eight teams.

(05:30):
So in my view, he's themost complete running back, not just in
the NFL now, of his entiregeneration. So he's twenty seven years old
and have almost eleven thousand yards andover eighty touchdowns. Not too bad if
you're going to put a running backin the Hall of Fame from this generation.
Christians the one. So keeping withthis whole team about maybe five and
son tandems and the world of football. Dona Ellis, son of Luda Ellis,

(05:56):
one of my teammates here with DenverBroncos. Now, Joanah is just
kind of getting his feet wet.But Lutha has several sons who are playing
in the NFL. What do youthink that maybe Jonah can bring to the
Broncos. That might start that conversationwhere people start comparing him to his father.
Well, Jonah is arguably the mosttalented amongst these brothers, and you

(06:18):
know whether or not he'll go onto have the kind of career's father did
remains to be seen. So youknow, his brother's Cayden and Atlanta with
the Falcons, Christian in New Englandwith the Tats, and Noah previously played
for the Philadelphia Eagles for a fewyears. Joana Ellis, in my view,
was the defensive steel of the twentytwenty four NFL draft, as I

(06:39):
mentioned before, second amongst all thesense players taken. In fact, only
Lots who had more thirteen, Ellishad twelve. And so the projection is
good as long as he can stayhealthy. I'm very excited about what he
can do in this defense. Hisfather, Luther had in my view,
a pretty underappreciated career defensive tackles thatthey usually end being the case. Nig

(07:00):
I mean, he put together threehundred and thirty one total career tackles twenty
nine sacks. And to make thatDenver connection, he was your teammate in
two thousand and four, the finalgame of his career November seventh, two
thousand and four. We ended upgetting Houston thirty one to fourteen. He
got the final sack of his career, sack David Carr. David Carr went

(07:20):
down four times that game, amongstthirty six trillion during his career, unfortunately.
And you hit six tackles in thatgame. How do you like that?
Ellis is And in terms of Imean, they've got so many of
them, they might be the mccaffreysof defense. We're if we're like that.
But let's go back to I thinkthe first family of football, the

(07:43):
most famous probably family of football,the Manning family. My father's favorite player
was Archie Manning. You know,I obviously Peyton and Eli, we've got
arch you know, kind of comingup. But I think the thing about
the Mannings for me that's interesting isfirst of all, how good arch she
was. I think that that getssort of lost to the mix and say
what an incredible athlete he was.Because we think of Peyton Manning and Eli

(08:05):
Manning, we think it was greatquarterbacks. We don't really think of them
as phenomenal athletes, where Archie Manningwas Steve Young before Steve Young was Steve
Young. Absolutely. Archie Manning waskind of cut of the mold of Roger
Stauback, a little bit more similarin style to maybe a Trevor Lawrence into
a Payn or An Eli, whoare both pocket passers. I wish I

(08:26):
could remember who to attribute this quoteto, but I remember hearing years ago
something to the effect that if TerryBradshaw had been drafted by New Orleans and
Archie Manning had been drafted by Pittsburgh, Archie Manning would be in the Pro
Football Hall of Fame and we'd beasking who is Terry Bradshaw. That might
be a little hyperbolic, but youhave to look at what Archie was able
to achieve in New Orleans within theframework of the situation he played. So

(08:48):
I got the numbers for Archie fromnineteen seventy one to nineteen eighty one,
which really represents the time where hewas a full time starter in New Orleans.
Amongst all NFL peers, he wastoo completions shy of fourth one thousand,
one hundred and forty eight, eighthalfing yards short of six twenty one
thousand, seven hundred and thirty onethirteenth and touchdown passes. He threw one

(09:11):
hundred and fifteen of those. Youhave to bear in mind, you know,
adjusting statistics for era. Joe Namathled the NFL in touchdown passes with
nineteen. Hearing Archie's sophomore season,and he was a two time Pro Bowl
selection in nineteen seventy eight. Nineteenseventy nine helped lead the New Orleans Saints
the records of seven and nine andeight and eight. So when you consider

(09:31):
the teams that he was playing with, I would say that you could make
an argument that his career was anoverachievement. Archie Manning is usually the example
people use when they're referring to incrediblytalented college quarterbacks who end up in tough
situations. Archie Manning very underrated quarterbackhistorically in my opinion. All right,
Ryan, we got to take itback to the defensive side of the field.

(09:54):
One of I mean, I lovewatching this guy practice. I love
watching play because your minds me champbarely to four who I play with,
and that's up. He is twopasser Tan, And tell me because Satan
is already he's already gone to twoPro Bowls all ready. But what does
he need to do in your mindand try to be put on that same

(10:16):
category as his dad pastsertan senior,he definitely has some big shoes to fill
and for him, I think he'salready displayed the ability to play amongst the
very best at his position at firstteam All Pro selection in twenty twenty two,
and as you mentioned that, atwo time Pro bowler in twenty twenty
two and twenty twenty three. Welook at what he's been able to do.

(10:39):
Having some success against Patrick Mahomes,it reminds me of his father's success
against the most dominant quarterback of thatgeneration, Paid Manning PS one for lack
of a better phrase, seven andfour against Manning. During his time in
the AFC East, he was athree time Pro Bowl selection twenty and two,
three and four. He was afirst team All Pro selection two thousand

(11:01):
and two, and that year theDolphins had the top rated passer rating defense
in the AFC, holding opponents toseventy two point seven number one in the
AFC and pass defense the XP againa Pro Football Reference metric, so very
similar trajectories in terms of the twosor tan cornerbacks. I think it's just
a matter of continuing to do whathe's already doing. Well. We look

(11:24):
forward to him doing that here inDenver. Obviously, there was a lot
of trade bs out there, whichI try to tell people was absolute nonsense.
With the Get Golebrugs were never tradingpass or Tan. It was never
a thing that was happening. Isaw reports that they were put together a
package move up to three that itwas all absolute, utter nonsense. He's
going to be a Denver Bronco fora long time. You know, I

(11:46):
don't know if Satan is the bestcorner in the NFL. Those kind of
lists are subjective and all that kindof stuff anyway, But where do you
put him based on what it isthat he's able to do, which seems
to be about everything. Where doyou put him right now in the league?
As far as ranking him as acorner? I believe that if Patzer
can were to be surrounded and we'llsee, because you're not going to be

(12:07):
able to feel the complete defense thecaliber of a guy who's the first team
All Pro selection. But I thinkas we we start to establish greater balance
and we build the defense from thebottom up, you can make the argument
that he's the best corner in football. You know, so far he's really
been holding his own on some defensiveunits that haven't quite been the Broncos defensive

(12:28):
all the Nick Ferguson era or theOrange Crush era. So you know,
maybe I'm doing a little bit biased, and I think with the right support,
having another year in vance Joseph system, I think there will be an
argument to be made by the endof the year that he may be the
best corner in all football. Sothere are several guys who are either in
the league right now or coming intothe league who their fathers have played.

(12:52):
When you think about Marvin Harrison Juniorwho is just coming into the league,
Antoine wilferld Junior and Frank Gord Jr. Is now in the league, and
Brendan Rice, when you think aboutthose guys, what's of those guys that
maybe I just name or you justmay have on your own, Well,
you think that they can kind ofput themselves, not on a level of

(13:13):
their fathers, but kind of startthat conversation in comparison. I think that
all of the players you just mentionedcertainly have an opportunity to play up to
or close to the level of theirfathers. Obviously, the most intriguing of
the names he mentioned is going tobe Marvin Harrison Junior because he's arguably the
best receiving prospect we've seen in anumber of years. And when you look

(13:35):
at the trajectory of wide receivers whoare taken at the top of the draft,
you don't see the same correlation withsuccess as you do with the first
quarterbacks taken in other positions in football. But in terms of what Marvin Harrison
Junior was able to produce at OhioState, and given the caliber of football
player his father was one of thegreatest route runners in the history of pro

(13:56):
football, he is the most intriguing. I do think he's a player on
paper who has the greatest upside.It'll be very interesting to see what he's
able to do here in his rookieseason. Ryan, we appreciate it as
always, brother, Looking forward tochecking in with you next week. Sounds
good, guys, Thanks for havingme on the Ryan Michael at the Ryan
Michael on Twitter, our official andofficial statistician here at PCT and then an

(14:16):
offensive analytics guy for the Barcelona Dragonsof the ELF. Look forward to uh
to find out about that that footballseason and following Ryan's work, you know,
in a in a pro league overthere in Europe, you know Ben
really quickly. How difficult you thinkit would have been, or it is
for guys who are playing now andtheir fathers played in the league and they

(14:41):
were great players and having to contendand always being compared to your father's legacy.
How difficult you think it is forthose guys. I think it can
be difficult, especially if they wereat the pinnacle of the profession. I
mean, there's this is a littlebit different. You know, your dad
played in the league, you playedin the leadership, there's whatever. But
if you're Bronnie James, there's adifferent level of expectations. So it shouldn't

(15:03):
be. But your dad was lebronJames, You're always going to be looked
at in that light. So likeMarvin Harrison and Marvin Harrison Junior, you're
going to be looked at and thenlike Peyton Manning and you know you're Arch
Manning is going to be going toget those comparisons. You're always going to
have that based on you know thefact that your father was was a great
player, that legacy, that shadowis always going to be there whether you

(15:26):
like it or not. The shadowis always there. And I don't agree
with the comparison all the time,even though, like especially during the draft
leading up to the draft, there'salways okay, comps what guy reminds me
of another guy in the league.I think that's that's tough because you got
to allow that player to stand onhis own merit. Yeah, sometimes they're
not the same play Mason Junior doesn'tplay the game that's the same way as

(15:48):
Dad did. He's a much largerman. They're not the same guy.
So you know, yeah, Ithink that there are there are unfarities to
that, and there are things thatwe need to do better in terms of
when we make those comparisons. Butthat is that is Unfortunately, that's the
downside of having those genetics. Youget you also get the reputation that comes
with them. We'll come back.We're gonna talk a little bit about the

(16:10):
the series clipped. I don't knowif you guys have watched it or not.
Uh, fascinating Stuff're gona talk alittle about that. We'll be back.
Welcome back to it, Broncos Countrytonight. Benjamin Olbrighten Nick Ferguson Grant
Smith here with you. Thanks toRyan Michael for joining us in the last
segment. Always loved the that,you know, the data stuff that he
brings to the table. He's justa tireless researcher man. Dude's got a
nose for you know, for statistica lot of these and facts. It's

(16:30):
fun to kind of, uh,hear new things from him as far as
that kind of stuff goes. Alwayslovet having them on and obviously with wish
him success as an offensive defensive analystfor the Barcelona Dragons in the European Football
League. So that'll be something forfans of this show to kind of keep
our eye on. Is alumnus fromthis show go on to do other things.
Obviously we've got uh uh, youknow, coach PAGs out there in
Washington. We're gonna keep an eyeon the commanders this show, which by

(16:52):
the way, I think he's gonnado like some kind of calling thing here
soon. So I'm just gonna kindof we're in that we're in the window
here that we're trying to trying toget Coach Pagano back talk to him.
She was a couple of weeks agoand he was moving out there to to
wash it. He found a placeto you know, to rent or whatever,
and uh so he talked to ScottyTurner North Turner's son who he used

(17:17):
to work with. Scotty's out withthe Raiders now used to be the OC
for the commanders before the enemy wasthere. And turns out the house that
he's renting, it's Scotty Turner's ScottTurgers's landlord. Now so still one of
those Yeah, one of those weirdday, one of those weird coincidences because
he told him, Uh, youknow, I told him about that and
all that. I said. Anyway, this is kind of fun. But

(17:38):
uh, have you watched the clipseries on who? Surprisingly not a show
about haircuts like I thought it wasgonna do well. First of all,
uh, for a person who hada really interesting haircut this past football season,
you actually thought that was no haircutshow. But no, I haven't
seen it yet. I'm going towatch it probably tomorrow. But it it's

(18:00):
really interesting that they're bringing this tolife. And you could say, well,
it's real or it just kind ofsalacious, howe do you want to
categorize it? But I was actuallyliving in Los Angeles. That's right,
you were when this happened, andthere were like individuals outside of the arena

(18:22):
and they were just kind of protesting. I was right there. So to
give some background a little bit,this show follows the Los Angeles Clippers,
and this is right around the DonaldSterling era. Yes, for those that
don't know, the show it selfstars At O'Neill, who you may remember
from Mary but Children a Modern Familyas Donald Sterling. Lawrence Fishburn is Doc

(18:45):
Rivers, which I was telling Nickduring the break. Somebody tweeted out,
like ten years ago, back whenall this was going out, they tweeted
out, well, this eventually getsmade into a movie. Kevin Hart's gonna
play Chris Paul. And then somebodyresponded to that tweet saying, you know,
Laurence Fishburn is gonna play Doc Rivers. He is ten years later called
the shot ten years early. Doyou gotta find that tweet, man,
because that would be Yeah, itwould be awesome. And who better than

(19:08):
Lawrence Fishburn to play Dot Rivers Becauseusually when you see you see some of
these like me for TV movies orkind of doctrimentaries or whatever you want to
call them. That is, theperson who's playing a lead character doesn't really
look like the person in real life. And even though Lawrence Fishbourn has his

(19:30):
own look, still kind of lookhe's he's got the dot, Doc Rivers
and Ed O'Neil man. I mean, they couldn't have. I guess the
found the right ensemble cast and thecasting is is amazing. I can't wait
to see because obviously it was oneof the biggest stories in sports years ago

(19:52):
and you can see a lot ofthose things still playing out in today's sports.
But which brings me to this,let's just say what to say an
argument? If the Broncos had,like they made a movie like of last
season, who would play who?As far as actors playing certain coaches the
players, that's a good question.Give me a second. I think that

(20:14):
I want I want to go toa couple of things about this clip show,
and I want to say real quickbefore we we hided. But one
of the one of the more interestingacting choices I think is having Corbyn Burnson
play Pierce O'Donnell, who was thelawyer for Donald Sterling. Piers o'donald.
But Corbyn Burnson of course starred inLa law and so to me, it's
like a little it's like a littleYeah, it's like a little And then
LeVar Burton has played himself in theseries, is he Yeah, LaVar burtons

(20:37):
playing himself, like and I'll notgive anything away, but uh, he
is in Lord LaVar burt was involvedin all that. So that's it,
you know, just another little thingthat got him to actually play himself,
uh you know in that one.So I think that's funny. By the
way, Kevin Hart obviously not playingChris fall it was. It ended up
being the jail Von s Nicholson.But but there you go. That was
a that was I think a funnytweet from back today. As far as
the Broncos go, Man, ifwe were doing all that, who would

(21:00):
play first of all, who wouldplay us? Well, you know who
would play Sean Payton Already Kevin James, Paul Blart, Mall cop right experienced
the roles. He would just reprisethe role for the signel. Okay,
Okay, yeah, that's I mean, obviously that's you know, there you
go, man, that's tough.Who played Vance Joseph? I mean,

(21:22):
because you think Larry Fishburn would probablybe a guy that would for the look,
be the right guy for maybe maybeMike Epps a little bit, although
I always think he's Mike Commlin youknow. Well yeah, I mean he's
more of a Mike Tomlin from avisual standpoint, But just for this case,
yeah, he could play vance who'splaying George Peyton general manager George Peyton

(21:45):
in All That? I gotta thinkabout that one who's playing Russell Wilson in
All That? Because to me he'stoo old. But the guy to have
played him in his prime would havebeen like Alfonso Robero's I said, too
old a Fox repearel. Yeah,I mean he's just like he's No,
he's not. No, he's notover exaggeration, just the way that you

(22:08):
said, Oh did you put thatthe old two years old? That's not
How was he going to play RussellWilson? Wait? Wait, if you
think fifty two years old, it'sold. I say old. I say
he's too old to play Russell Wilsonnow when he's fifty two. No,
no, he's not. Listen,we've seen actors who were older than the
characters they were playing. Little Hollywoodmagic. Yeah, how you trying to

(22:33):
get to get a Fox apparel shouldbe married to Wait. Wait, you
acting as though Alfonso Rebela looks likeSir Anthony Hopkins, like he's that age.
No, I mean he doesn't looklike the kritch keeper. But it's
like, you know, it's notlike it's not does look too old to
be a quarterback in the NFL?Hmmm, I got we got some text

(22:56):
messages flying in about this. Oh, Mara Vtanzi has the the character would
play you? Just texted me.Jimmy Fox said, Jamie Fox is playing
Ford. No, no, no, no, see if we're looking without
the beard, see, what's thequestion, Mario, you gott to clarify
man would play Nick Ferguson myself andGrant Smith. I need these five six

(23:17):
six day zero. I need theanswers on this. I like to think
that if I mean, if,if look, if Jamie Fox is playing
you, then you gotta have likea Colin Farrell type playing me. Is
that? I think that is veryfit. A young Rob Lowe maybe no,
maybe, Oh my goodness, Abodysaid Gene Hackman and Sean Payton.

(23:37):
I think he's a little old forthat role too. Benjie Hackman retire from
acting like twenty years ago. Yeah, like Gene Hackman from Whoo's but maybe
even now, I was like,wait, what if Tom Hanks played Sean
Payton. I mean, Tom Hankscould play anything, but I think I
think no, I think we're goingwe've already seen Kevin Jay's in that role.

(24:00):
I don't want to see Tom Hanksand Sean Payton. You know why,
because Tom Nks is too darn lovable. I was thinking the same thing.
It's like, guy like nothing,that's not to be. And I'm
not knocking Sean Payton. I'm sayingthat he's too lovable. He's too lovable.
I'm just saying that's that's the reasonKevin James can't be Sean Payton either.
Okay, So so Mario said hewould be nice and that Paul Rudd

(24:22):
would play me, which you know, I mean, to be honest with
you, at this point, PaulRudd might look too young to play me,
and he's way older and he's likethe same clueless, looks the same
he's using I needed so for GeorgePeyton, what about Matt Damon, I

(24:44):
could do that. I'm see thatthat's not It's not like I said,
Antonio Benderies, Come on, man, we could no, no, if
we have drafted, we have wehave traded for Seawan Payton, but I
do not understand it. I loveto see that and because it's so not
the same in the way that there'sspeech, you know, cinema. What

(25:10):
is he like? That is not? Yeah, but that's not working.
I am. I'm definitely down foruh for mad damages that could work,
that could work. What if?What if Will Smith played Russell Wilson even
though he's lifting Will's a little SeeThat's why I said Alfonso roberto because he
was Carlton on the Fresh Prince andkind of was a little bit more in
line with with Russell. So sowhat would they have to find a guy

(25:33):
that fits him for both a lookand standpoint, because Afonso Roberta does fit
both of those kind of things.I mean you just to look, he
does kind of look like Russell Wilson. So to me, I think that's
like I said, By the way, we got some great text coming in.
Tone Loke plays Nick, Let's dothat's the nice of it is really
into white men can't jump because hesays white Lesley Snipe plays Nick and whatdy

(25:56):
Harrelson plays me d that yes,no, yes, I'm not taking what
Haroldson. I'm not taking that one, even though you are losing a little
bit on top and he don't gotmore than we got to reach out the
turf up here. It's get bad. But yeah, no, should blame
yourself the guy in here, dude, that would work. I could see

(26:18):
a Wesley Snipe type yes, playingyou. I mean I could, I
could see it. So that's theguy, you know, guy on Bosh.
I can't think it's Jamie Hector Bosh. He was on, he was
in the wire. Yes he's gothe's got the but he can still play
you, right. You put thebeard out and you know he's got the
eyes are kind of the saint youget kind of okay, okay, you're

(26:38):
the same expressive eyes. But thankyou for always just looked him up and
that that's a good one. I'msaying that's a good one. I'm saying
that he's a good actor too.But I think if you were going for
someone who I guess from a faceshoe standpoint that resembled me, it would
be a Wesley Snipes. I'm herefor it. I just I have not
stuck on blade right now and it'sme. But like Maharasha Ali, you

(27:03):
know, I mean, that's agreat actor, and I don't know like,
you know, I think he couldplay like at the Marius Thomas,
if we still had him around,maybe he played Courtland. You know you
have Maharasha Ali as Courtland Sutton.I'm just trying to get the stars from
last year. Who know who?We? Who we who'd have playing these
guys? Okay, in the wayMario, was Marius s Ifferg going to
play like that? Fine? ForrestWhitaker's playing you spot what? What wows?

(27:32):
Fine? Who would who would playme? Somebody? Somebody suggested the
guy from the New Roadhouse movie,the villain from the New Roadhouse movie.

a couple of days ago and Igot a fine I did again. It's
it's uh. I can't take theguy's name he plays like in the in
the movie. His names like BenBartnett or something like that. But I

there's a there's a guy that theyand they also claim that that guy from
Game of Thrones that played Ramsey Boltonlooks like me, which I don't think

But I sort of get the facialexpression type part of it. So
I think the guy name is BillyMagnuson. Yeah, Yeah, that's it.
That's it. That's it. That'sold. Okay. So I understand
why Ben, because both you andBilly have the same eye color. So
I can even easily see that.Here's the here's the picture right here.

send it to Grant here and justlike I'll send it the group chests,

the scene with Jake Jill and all. It looks like I'm sitting at a
bar with Jake Jill at all becausehe's it ain't good. Somebody says,
we got to the three. Allthree says Cuba Gooding Junior should play Russell
Wilson. That's not that, that'snot bad. I'm not a Cuba is

one. I don't know who.I don't know who That answer would be
Justin Simmons. Hold on, I'mgoing to find this. There's an actor
that the lights can do with thelight eyes. You know what I'm talking
about. What Chris Brown's gonna play. Justine Simmons ask me, might have
to slap you for that choice.Wow warming here? Wow? Get warming

standpoint, off the field stuff,and they don't mall opposites, all the
opposites. But I'm just tossing itout there. I'm just talking about I'm
trying to think of who the guy, and I'm trying to think what movie

it is. So who would playlike Jerry Judy. Yeah, that's a
good question. What about the guy? I mean, if you're going for
the look, you'd have to kindof you'd have to act his butt off.
But if you're going for the look, the guy who played Samuel Basanya
and and Ted Lasso, if hegrew some like you know, like Jerry
