The rewatchables which has a special trilogy episode.

With Quentin Tarantino. Yeah. Putting the first one out on Monday he picked three movies and we did all three and we're going to run them three weeks in a row on the rewatchables feed.

I won't tell you what the first one is but we'll be dropping it on Monday afternoon on the rewatchables feed.

Had films he wanted to do so yeah that's happening.

Wait for Monday it will be popping up in the afternoon be ready for it speaking of popping up.

Cousin Sound I're licking our wounds after a horrific week 17 for us both for football teams and for gambling but there were some great stuff to recover it all right now first our friends from pro jam.

All right as always I'm both excited for the playoffs and I'm sad because the week 17 post podcast means that the season is now over everything's over including your seasons over as a Cowboys fan.

My season feels like it's headed toward being over as a Patriots fan and then also we're just getting shell acting gambling.

So we're ready I've never felt better about week 18 let's go we're not doing anything right it turns out we're not supposed to get smarter as a

year goes along but I know it's embarrassing not happening.

Um let's start let's start a positive note we're taping this right after a really great nine or C Hawks game yeah that had everything you'd ever want from a Sunday night and Michaels and

Collegeworth really wanted it to even when it seemed like Seattle had a chance of either getting blown out or just not being in the game.

Michaels was bringing his a game he really wanted it and it all led to this topsy turvy fourth quarter those teams are both really good.

It felt like Seattle even though they lost it's kind of a win because they get to play the Eagles right.

Yeah usually going on the road for an extra game is a huge huge deal and it's like well it's not you know that's much less of a chance if you're getting the finals and yeah I guess odds wise it would it would show and that you know you want to rest some of your players but.
