Welcome to the athletic football show.

I'm Robert Mays.

Joining me today.

It's my good friend Nate Tyson.

Nate, how you doing, buddy?

Doing very well. I love this show. I love the all pro teams. I love awards. Like, honestly, one of my favorite things about sports. It really is. I'm an award sucker, too. I always have been. And we're movie guys, so I know you love that stuff too. I love this as well. Like so because, oh God, I came in, I lasted 30 seconds before diving this. In the board game community, uh, people love making lists. Like they love what's your top 10. What's your top five two player game and everything? That's why I'm a sucker for that. I'm like, oh, yeah, we're list making talking about, oh, which ones that we rank, one through three?

I'm all aboard.

I always, I love asking people, what's your, like, three favorite movies that, like, you're trapped on an island. Where are the three movies you're going to bring with you? And I think that really gives some insight some people. And I think same with this. Same with like awards and lists. I do my top 10 movies every year.

I've done every year since I was just out of college.

What was your number one this year? Top Gun Maverick. I, it was the experience. It was the experience going to the theater and the smile I had on my face the entire time. I can easily recognize that it's not like the best movie I saw this year, but it was my favorite movie experience this year. Most pleasantly surprised I've been by a movie in forever. Yes. I went in thinking, oh, this will be fond to like, that was really enjoyable. I completely agree with you. That made my top 10. It was my favorite, but I'm right there with you. It just floored me. I just had such a great time at the movies. And that's why I was

great time of the movies. Yep. I do a list. I kept track of all the place I ate this year. And also,

I work for Bill Simmons for 10 years and high fidelity is one of my favorite movies. Like,

I am familiar with the list and I am a fan of the list. That's such a good point. We're talking about like movie experience though. Like, sorry now I'm thinking about this. Nope is I was so pleasantly surprised by no. I saw it at home. See, that was the thing. I feel bad about that. And I know this is like what everyone's saying about. Oh, it felt like a Spielberg movie. Exactly.

That's why it had the magic of Spielberg during that movie. I don't know. I pleasantly surprised. I went in. I was like, I love Jordan Peel. Okay, yeah. Okay. This is what looks fun. Went in afterwards. I was floored. I think that was I ranked at like number three of anything I've watched this year. But yeah. Love list making. Love movies. Let's do this. that's what we're doing today.

Yeah. Not a list, but awards.

We're going to do our all pro teams today.

So we were going to, Yeah. Love list making. Love movies. Let's do this. That's what we're doing today.
