I need sports to have to clear the room.

Stand up and walk now.

Hello and welcome to The Watch.

My name is Chris Ryan.

I am an editor at the Ringer.com and joining me in a big studio up 21-0.

I'm dear you.

It's Andy Greenwald.

Why do you sound like cousin Salaries? What are you doing? We're on the same team. We've been friends for almost 30 years. What are you doing? I just wanted to see your reaction. First of all, can you see it? We're in a very big space today. Yeah, I can see you, man. Optimized for video. I don't know

what to do with my body in the studio. You look great. You look like, you're like, kids, let's tear the first page out of that book. My kids are here. Let's have class outside. They might see it. Is this the vibe with like the Dax Shepherd podcast where he's just like in a chair and he's leans in he's like that mirrors my addiction journey brother he's vaping and he's just like I hear you man uh no that's a good pod um sure no I'm just want to know like is that why it's successful is because he has a different physicality away from his guests that's a good question maybe we should see how far we can get away from each other I guess you're going to to England, so that will probably be easy. Andy, on the watch today, we have practically a Thanksgiving feast because this is our only show this week. You can hit us up at the watch at Spotify.com. You can follow us on Instagram at the Watchpot underscore. You can watch us on YouTube at the ringer-dash TV channel. You can also watch us where you're listening to us on Spotify, hopefully. We have Pluribus, episode four. We have Landman episode two. And I have a bunch of other

stuff for you today. So I'm excited to get into a frank exchange of ideas about popular culture

and American life. Of the two trips I had to take to Texas yesterday,

back to back, I really, really didn't expect my time. I actually went out on Fridays specifically for this reason. I really didn't expect my trip to Midland to be preferable. Yes. To be more enjoyable. I really, really didn't. Can I ask your psychology about something before we get into our day? Of course you can. Just because we're further away doesn't mean I'm any less close to you. That's beautiful. You, at the time I was little dismayed, but you did duck out of an in-person viewing. I did. Of yesterday's catastrophe. I had to prepare for the watch. How's that going?

I don't think you're ready for what you're getting on the watch today.

How do you feel about your choice?

Because I think that, you know, I think you are a steady guy.

And you realized in real time that what you were missing was an opportunity to have the real feast or famine AG experience. Yeah, I think I've gotten my healthy, fair dose of that throughout my life.

I didn't pick that, that was not my choice because I wanted to avoid you or anything like that.

I gotta say, I mean, do you want to actually talk about the Eagles right now?

What do you want to talk about?

We've been doing this podcast for so many years. We can set the agenda. Do you think they have it? Because I don't think they have it. I don't think the offense has it. So if you don't think they have it, what are you watching? Right? Like you want to want I'm watching for week to week enjoyment and to talk with my friends about it.

I love this team.

But like when I watch it, I don't see it. I think they have it if they could get a competent offensive coordinator. I guess so. I think they have, they got the horses, they got the players, but they do not have the mentality to execute. Because I watched that first half.
