Command The Commute
Super Bowl: One Day…
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The season’s over… but we’re not done. This is the pre–Super Bowl finale of Command the Commute — where Bob and Mike try to survive the offseason and make sense of what the hell Washington is building.
We open with the new DC hire: Daronte Jones. Bob lays out the path, the coaching tree influence, and why Washington’s defense has to take a step forward after a year that felt like rooting for field goals.
From there, it’s a full-on identity conversation: teased logos, spear imagery, throwback rumors, and what a realistic timeline looks like for a future rebrand with the stadium era looming.
Then we go league-wide: Bill Belichick not being first ballot sparks a Hall of Fame debate, including the short list of true first-ballot coaches — and why Joe Gibbs still confuses the timeline.
We end where the entire sports world ends up: the Super Bowl. Prop bets, commercials, halftime conversation, and full game picks for Seattle Seahawks vs. New England Patriots — plus why we’re pulling for Seattle.
Next week: our season finale — listener stats, new countries, and end-of-season awards. 🏆
Hail to the Redskins.

Hello.
SPEAKER_02:Hey yo. Hey. Hey yo, Mikey, how you doing? Doing good, doing good. Welcome everybody for another episode of the Command the Commute Podcast. This is, of course, the podcast where we press record when we leave the driveway and we upload when we get to the stadium, but we haven't been able to do that in a while. The offseason is in full swing and we haven't. For us, yeah. We haven't had a good time.
SPEAKER_03:We don't make the playoffs.
SPEAKER_02:Well, last year we did.
SPEAKER_03:Well, that was last year. But go on.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Tell them what's on deck.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. Oh, so the yeah, this we got a lot in store for for this week's podcast. This is, of course, the uh preseason finale because we've got the Super Bowl this weekend, and then we're gonna come back for a recap of the Super Bowl, and we're gonna get into some what to expect in our season finale uh later in the pod. But um, but yeah, this is our second to last one. We're gonna have a little bit of an off-season ourselves.
SPEAKER_03:Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, it's this has been a tough season to really be motivated as a Washington fan. We've been here before, which is why we're so chipper, because we're we're used to it. Um but God, it has it has been a season, hasn't it? I I haven't really been thinking about it all that much, uh, to be completely honest with you.
SPEAKER_03:Um There's nothing to think about.
SPEAKER_02:Right. I was actually really relieved week 18, once the season was over, to kind of just like, okay, it's over. We can kind of put that behind us. Yeah. But um we're gonna get into some Washington talk. We obviously hired a defensive coordinator this week, so we're gonna get into a little bit about what we know about him. Uh we're gonna talk about some NFL news in the second quarter of the pod. In the third quarter, we're gonna get into our can't lose locks, which you're thinking to yourself, there's only one game. You guys are just gonna pick one game. Well, of course, we're gonna pick the Super Bowl. We're gonna pick our our um our picks, but we got prop bets to go through for our can't lose locks this week. And then in the fourth quarter, we're gonna finish things up with the game itself. What to expect from the entertainment portion of it all, what we know, and then get into the football. Uh there's some things I like and things I don't like about the matchup. Um are you happy with the outcome of the NFC and the AFC?
SPEAKER_03:Listening back, you I mean, I've been a Rams guy the entire, you know, playoffs.
SPEAKER_02:So You you you picked the Rams, you were wrong on that. Uh what what we did in the last podcast was I said what I think will happen and what I want to happen. And I was I was right on what I think would happen, but not what I wanted to happen. So I thought this would be the Super Bowl matchup if I was betting on it. This is what I was going with you going into the NFC and AFC championship games, but I was rooting for the other two teams, to be honest. Um I'm I got my reasons and we'll get into it. But anyway, let's start things off with Durante Jones. Were you surprised? Obviously.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, who the hell is he?
SPEAKER_02:Kinda. I mean, it's it's kind of it's hard to say. Like, I guess are you surprised is a is the wrong question.
SPEAKER_03:Because Well, I was more surprised about the offensive coordinator. The defensive guy should be someone that we fucking know. Okay.
SPEAKER_02:I I just it it's a little bit of a it's a gamble, I think, for you were looking for at least one of the coordinators to be a name that you knew.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. That like you know, okay, because it's a big risk for DQ, I think, to in in essence go with two extreme lesser-known individuals when you're going into your third year and your your seat's getting warm, everybody's talking about it.
SPEAKER_02:Well, it's a it's a big gamble. Do you think that he's building in an excuse for if things really don't know his excuse was this season? Well, this season what had nothing to do I mean this season, the excuse is attributed to injuries, right? So is he building in an excuse for himself to say I had a young, inexperienced coordinator. That's not gonna happen. We had our experience this year. So now going into year four, you know, is he so is he building in an excuse? I don't know.
SPEAKER_03:So by himself one more year?
SPEAKER_02:I think on the offensive side, I think I think that hire is one that he's gonna have like his seat is warmer because of that hire than the Durante Jones hire.
SPEAKER_03:Yes, because the offense just was completely crap.
SPEAKER_02:DQ's a defensive guy. So I kind of feel like this hire I feel a little bit more confident in this guy uh than the Blau hire. Just because Blau is, as far as we know, just an uh a backup QB two years removed. You know, he had a seven, eight-year career, I think, as a backup in the league, and now he's 30 years old. And yeah, that's I mean, it's you're putting your neck out a little bit farther with a guy like Blau than you are with with Jones. And and uh let me just give you uh a little bit of his resume. Um he's a hometown guy, Capitol Heights, Maryland. Uh he played DB for for uh in college uh with Temple in Michigan and Morgan State. He coached in 2001 uh at the college and high school level, and and college meaning uh a lot of D D2, D3, uh no D1, so I should say. 2016 he got the job as Miami Assistant DB coach. 2018, he became Cincinnati's cornerback coach. 2020, he became Minnesota's DB coach. Took one year off at Minnesota to go to LSU to be their defensive coordinator, and then he went back to Minnesota to be their DB coach, eventually got promoted to their passing game coordinator on defense. So I look at his resume there and say this guy always wanted to be a coach. He became a coach shortly after his college career was over. Um, he did play at the D1 uh level. I think Temple and Morgan State sound like a Division I A. I could be wrong. I don't know.
SPEAKER_03:No idea. Doesn't matter.
SPEAKER_02:Dumb. But yeah, I mean, this is a guy that paid his dues for about 15 years at the high school and lower college ranks, and then eventually um got a got a job in 2016 in Miami and has just been um in the league for the last 10 years. Uh he's influenced by Brian Flores. If Brian Flores wasn't retained as the defensive coordinator in Minnesota, it is believed that this guy would have been their defensive coordinator. So it's it was time for him. You know, this guy's got 10 years of coaching experience in the league versus Blau being an assistant quarterback coach for one season. You know what I mean? So that's why I say I I feel like and the fact that this hire took a little bit, they took their time, they had a lot of candidates come in, they interviewed around. Um so I think if the offense doesn't perform next year and Jaden is healthy the entire year, then the Blau experiment will be pretty pretty s quick.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I don't disagree with that for sure.
SPEAKER_02:Uh but I I wouldn't be surprised if the defense struggles a little bit. This guy um he might not be at fault. I don't know. That's kind of just how I'm looking at that hire there. Um But like you said a couple weeks back on the pod with the Blau hire, we won't really know until we see the field, and that's the same thing with Jones. We won't really know until we see the field. But I'm hoping the fact that he's got so much experience in the defensive backs that we can start to see a little bit better performance out of our DBs and our our our cornerbacks or safeties and whatever, because we've really struggled there. That is it's so hard to watch. Prove me wrong. Yeah, so hard to watch. All year long, we just watched them dunk the ball into our secondary and pick us apart all year long. Our defense was historically bad this year. It was so hard to watch us get blown up. I mean, we were just rooting for field goals all year long. We weren't rooting for punts. We've been there. It was like, please don't score touchdowns. I mean, we'll give you field goals, but just please don't score touchdowns. So exhausting. All right, next thing I want to touch on, Washington news wise. Did they were on the Washington Commanders website, they teased a potential new logo that I've never seen. It's basically uh the Washington logo that we've all seen, and then a circle around it with our old spear as an X coming through behind it.
SPEAKER_03:Okay.
SPEAKER_02:And I bring that up because I've also seen it.
SPEAKER_03:I haven't seen it.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, I've also seen that we have applied and you know, in these corporate worlds where deadlines need to be met so the design teams have enough time to do what they gotta do and implement whatever they gotta do for marketing and all the things for approvals. Specific teams need to put in for uh alternate jerseys and throwbacks and things like that. So our name is in the mix for a new throwback, even though we just had our Super Bowl era throwbacks, which is we're we're thinking those are still gonna be within our rotation. I certainly hope so. And we're gonna add in a burgundy throwback. And so you start seeing all the symbolism with the spear, like we've seen. We've seen in all the promos, whether it be Wagner or Jaden Daniels or Terry putting the spear and the in the in stadium video packages. Yep. So uh and we've seen this I think it was the 70s we had the spear on the side of the helmet.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, because that was when we wore the Redskins, that was our throwback uniform was the the deep Burgundy with the spear logo on the helmet and on the shoulder pads.
SPEAKER_02:So I I would like it's just everything and anything to get us back to as much Redskins as we can.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, we're here for.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, which we're on record. We've I mean, I'm on record at least. We've got two years to figure out whether or not we're gonna stay the commanders forever or switch. If you're making me rank like what does the switch look like, it's two options. Because we're not gonna go to the Washington Warriors after being the commanders, we're not gonna rebrand to be the Red Wolves or all those the Red Wings or all those other alternate names that they were discovered back in 2022, right? So like those aren't options to me. The only two names that you can change the franchise to are either the Washington Redskins or the Washington football team. Those are the only two.
SPEAKER_03:And I don't Well, I said way back when that if it was commanders or should we have stayed the Washington football team, I would have much rather stayed the Washington football team than to be the commanders. Just because the commanders seem like a dumbass name to me.
SPEAKER_02:Well, we can go through a long list of things that Dan Snyder fucked up in another podcast. But from a business standpoint, why wouldn't you keep it as the placeholder Washington football team as you're trying to sell the team? As a even if you think, okay, like I'm never gonna sell the team. Well, okay, you say that, but there's also like a 75% chance that you're forced to sell the team, which is what ended up happening. So if that's the situation, Dan, keep it the placeholder Washington football team name, and then let then the team is so much more valuable than if you name it the Commanders, something that had instant feedback of not being great. Right. Whatever focus groups that they came out with, Commanders was probably always ranking in the top third, but never ranking it as as the top one. Exactly you know what I mean? So they've got two years, I say two years, because the first season that they're gonna have in the stadium is gonna be 2030, as uh assuming all things stay on track for construction and their timelines. So I'm putting us at 2028 as when they need to figure out what all of the like what does the end zone look like? What does the bars look like? What do all the suites look like?
SPEAKER_03:What brand from a graphic standpoint.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, what brand, what logos, what are we gonna put all over this mofo? You know what I mean? So I think the decision will have been made by 2028. Whether or not they tell us or not, I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if right now it's just the giant ass W. I think going into 2029, they might say this is the last year where the commanders opening up our new season next year. We're going to do this. I I think that's the timeline that we're looking at here. Um because all the feedback that they're getting, they they can't put out a poll anymore without it saying, change it back, change it back. Everybody's still wearing the Redskin stuff. And we're the commanders, but you don't see anything with a C out there, right? It's all W because they're keeping it neutral, in my opinion. But do you got any thoughts to kind of wrap up our first quarter in the U.S.
SPEAKER_03:You pretty much nailed it. I mean, we we have the same thoughts on the name and the the migration, hopefully back to the redskin, you know.
SPEAKER_02:And I for those of you that are just listening for to my opinion for the first time on this name, I don't understand why it's more acceptable to whitewash the Native Americans out of existence. Uh but it's more acceptable just to deem it racist. You know, it's like it doesn't and and I've said before, Dan Snyder's one of his biggest mistakes as it relates to the name is if you're going to be the Washington Redskins, then and you're gonna have a Native American on your helmet, then you should have some type of engagement with the Native American community. You know, we should have had it every other home game, it should have been acceptable to see the Native American dance and see some of their culture and their traditions. And and we as a fan base would all look at it as honoring their heritage and their culture, not from a racist or negative connotation what uh whatsoever. Um So I mean I went through Scouts, and there's a lot of Native American symbolism in the Boy Scouts of America. And I've always looked at that from reverence uh and appreciation of who was on this land before us. And I always kind of like the fact that I rooted for this team because of those kind of same stuff. You know what I'm saying? So I I just don't understand. I mean, maybe you should take the the big-nosed cartoon Cleveland Indian logo out of it and just let a name.
SPEAKER_03:Well, they're the guardians now, so I don't even know.
SPEAKER_02:I know, but I'm saying I can see how a cartoonish figure might come across offensive to a culture, right? But with our logo, it was drawn by a family member of a chief. So, I mean, that's an actual person that was the Redskins logo. Uh it was a portrait that somebody had drawn. So I I don't know. I always I had always said Dan Snyder should have put uh had a Native American in the front office in some way, shape, or form and and put him in in charge of like fan relation or something like that. Um and and and that way when the media has any questions for the organization about the name and how the organization feels about the name, then you can let him come out and and tell you how we we think about it. So all right, let's move on to some NFL news. But before we get there, let's uh let the people hear what it would sound like if you wanted to advertise on this podcast. This is what an ad read would sound like if you or your business wanted to use our platform for your product. That's right. Imagine your product here. It could be anything: a service, a gadget, a business, an event. Hey, maybe you're just a guy with a dream. We would tell people how revolutionary it is, even if it's basically the same thing they already have. Maybe it's just in a different color. We'd probably say something like trusted by experts. Even though we never mention who those experts are, we'd drop in a buzzword or two. Innovation, energy, disruption to the market, you know, all the good stuff that means absolutely nothing. At the end of the day, Mike and I just want to keep going to these games, and well, we need money to do that. So if you like us, then we absolutely love you.

SPEAKER_04:Consult your doctor before decorating a good theory while listening to this contact results not guaranteed, but the binds immaculate.
SPEAKER_02:All right, so NFL News this week. The story that kind of dominated everything was the fact that Bill Belichick didn't get voted in for as a first ballot Hall of Famer.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. I'm not overly affected by it. I don't know. I mean, it is kind of surprising that he's not first ballot just because they went to and won all of those Super Bowls.
SPEAKER_02:He won six Super Bowls as a head coach and won two Super Bowls as a coordinator.
SPEAKER_03:But they're saying all part of the reason why he didn't get voted in was because of, you know, what was it, deflate gate or whatever all that stuff was. I don't know. That seems like an excuse to me. I think just like with Brady, championships get you into the Hall of Fame. So why not let him in first ballot?
SPEAKER_02:I mean, it's it's I think it's more than just a why not. I mean, he he's won six Super Bowls as a head coach. I I mean, and the debate was always gonna be is it more Tom than Bill?
SPEAKER_03:But I I think It probably started out Bill and then it it ended with Brady. Because the better he got, the older he got.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, but I mean he won two Super Bowls as if he as a defensive coordinator. So nobody cares about that.
SPEAKER_03:They only care about the Super Bowls you win as a head coach.
SPEAKER_02:People get jobs but based off of how great your defense or your offense is and how many Super Bowl rings you can win. And if you can take teams if you're part Part of the reason why that team went to a Super Bowl and your coordinator, you get the head coaching job because of it. And he only just continued to prove it over time as a head coach.
SPEAKER_03:Now I I mean, yeah, the But there's gotta be more to it in the sense of like, you know, when he was let go in New England, he didn't end up as a head coach in the NFL. He went to the college ranks, and of course, his girlfriend now totally, you know, derailed any possibility. But I I think there's more to the story with him in general because can you explain to me if he's got all of those championships? Why is he not a head coach in the NFL?
SPEAKER_02:Well, I I think it's I think you alluded to it earlier. I I think his girlfriend is two years out of college, and so it's like that's where she wanted him to go. Like, let's go to like I always wanted to go to that school. Let's go to that school.
SPEAKER_01:I think he's like, okay, yeah, I'm gonna do that.
SPEAKER_02:But I yeah, I don't know. I the uh the I I don't know who is on like who's the who's on their last go-around to get into the hall. We'll find that out here in a couple weeks. I think they announce it at the Honors Award Awards here whenever that takes place. Um I think it's actually the Saturday before the Super Bowl.
SPEAKER_03:It's actually, I think, the Thursday before the Super Bowl.
SPEAKER_02:It's a good thing. So that's when we'll know who's gonna make it in the Hall of Fame this year. It's gonna be between four to eight guys. And uh I I'll be curious if there's a handful of players that like this was their last chance to get in. And that's why Bill, like, so there was a handful of guys that were offended by some of the scandals and the deflate gate and that kind of stuff.
SPEAKER_03:And to be one vote shy, like that's spiteful. Well, I think for him to be one vote shy.
SPEAKER_02:There's media members that vote for the Hall of Fame, and Bill was never really known for treating the media all that great.
SPEAKER_03:That's that's true he was.
SPEAKER_02:So I can see how he could rub a lot of people the wrong way. Um, and maybe a lot of these Hall of Fame voters just thought that it really was like maybe they're assured that it was Tom Brady and not Bill. Um, but then again, I do feel like Bill was the right coach for Tom. You know what I mean? Right, yeah. So it's I I think that was a match made. I think he was the perfect coach for him, or that personality type. Not surprised to see that he performed the same way with under Bruce Arians, because I don't know, I just feel like they're a similar type of a coach, you know what I mean? Um the other thing that I needed to research as I saw, because uh this kind of dominated the storyline, and the storyline today is that Robert Kraft isn't inducted as his first time because for whatever reason they dick they they deem that he was eligible this year for the first time as well, and he's not on the the list of finalists. So I don't know, teach their own, maybe everybody's just like whatever about the Patriots uh or that dynasty. But there's only a handful, like if you Google search at Chat GPT and you word it however you want to word it, and you plug in there first ballot, hall of fame, head coaches NFL, right?
SPEAKER_03:What'd you come up with?
SPEAKER_02:It's a very short list. I'll start with on a lot of these lists, you're gonna see George Hollis and Curly Lambeau. They were inducted when the hall was founded in 1963. Okay, so that was the first year that any coach was eligible, and those two guys made the list. These those guys, right? So for the guys that went through their eligibility period and said, okay, now they're eligible, let's vote for them. It's a list of three Chuck Knoll, Tom Landry, Don Shula. Right? Nobody's arguing that they're not Hall of Fame coaches. You're not gonna argue that. Right? So, um the weird okay, so and this is where this is all getting to Joe Gibbs. All right. I don't know what the exact rules are. I know for a player it's five years. You've gotta retire, be out of the league for five years, and now you're eligible. I think they've adapted that same rule for coaches. Well, they shortened it for Bilichek, right? So maybe it's four. Okay. Here's what I know about Joe Gibbs. Joe Gibbs retired after the 92 season in March of 93. Okay?
SPEAKER_03:Okay.
SPEAKER_02:He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1996. So they didn't even vote for old Joe Gibbs. That's why when you Google first ballot Hall of Fame, everybody was just like, when's Joe? Like, let's just make let's just make Joe a Hall of Famer now. I so it's weird that I I don't know what happened back then. Maybe somebody listening r remembers back to 1996 and can tell us what was happening between the time frame of '93 when he retired and '96 when he was inducted. Um looking back and doing reading some Wikipedia on Joe Gibbs, he was kind of like when Bill Cower retired. Everyone was like, who's Bill Cower gonna coach for next? It was just always rumored that he coached for somebody. Right. And then he never did. And similarly, Joe Gibbs, he was con a lot of teams try to lure him out of retirement. And the only one that he considered, I read back, was the Carolina Panthers, as they were starting as the expansion team. He was gonna be their first coach, but then you're like, nah, nah, I don't want to do that.
SPEAKER_03:This was the same team that Bill Cower was considering.
SPEAKER_02:I want to do, I just want to do NASCAR. And then eventually Dan Snyder lured him out. And I think that was eventually because Joe Gibbs was just tired of watching us lose since he left. So he's just like, fine, I'll do it. Um but I just I think that's the I think that's interesting. The internet does not know everything. I'm I've been I've been trying to research what the whole Hall of Fame Joe Gibbs thing was because he's uh like when we consider, I mean, I don't know who wouldn't consider Joe Gibbs' career as not like a first ballot Hall of Fame career. Um, but it's similarly to Belichick. I mean, he's definitely, definitely kind of got snubbed, snubbed there. Um all right. Next on NFL News, did you know that the Pro Bowl happened?
SPEAKER_03:I heard rumors that it happened, but I didn't I haven't seen any video. I haven't seen anyone carrying a flag football around, nothing. So did it happen?
SPEAKER_02:It happened for two days.
SPEAKER_03:Where?
SPEAKER_02:I don't know where.
SPEAKER_03:Because I legitimately don't know where they have it now that they've gone to that flag football uh setup.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. Uh is it still on the water? The Mannings didn't do it. I I don't know. I I I'll I'll I'll bet money Snoop Dogg was there, but I don't know. I didn't watch. I didn't watch. That's the whole reason why ESPN, right? That's the reason why I'm bringing this up. I didn't see it on TV, and I I don't I worked this weekend, but I still feel like if I was I was scrolling around when I got home and uh I didn't see anything on. I didn't see anything on, and guess what? We're on social media, we scroll through reels just like everybody else.
SPEAKER_03:Well, I haven't seen one reel on social media, I'll tell you that.
SPEAKER_02:Look, and our algorithm would be the algorithm to where we would see that shit.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Where where I mean, it did happen. Did anybody see anything that happened in the Pro Bowl?
SPEAKER_03:That's a good question.
SPEAKER_02:I I'm I'm literally asking our listeners. Like, do you guys tell us, did you watch it? Did it happen? What happened? How was it structured? Did they do a tug of war bullshit thing? Did it did did they have like a I think two years ago they did some kind of like best catch and the guys jumped over uh the the It was more of a competition thing, like you said. Yeah, I don't know. I don't, but I know it eventually happened there was a flag football game at the end of it. Uh uh a couple years. I don't know.
SPEAKER_03:Okay, whoopty do.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. So uh that leads me to ask this if you could come up with an alternate Pro Bowl game, like another game, a game worth watching, like an NFL caliber game, like if you were I think the problem is you worked for the NFL and you were part of the team that they brought in to say, all right, we need to fix the Pro Bowl. Like, you're like, I got an idea for a game. Do you have?
SPEAKER_03:I mean All you gotta do is just mirror what Major League Baseball does. Put it at some point in the middle of the season, and just do it that way. Because nobody cares about it at the end of the goddamn season. Nobody cares about it. Nobody cared about it ten years ago when it was a regular football game, because it's just something, oh, I was named to the Pro Bowl, but nobody cares. Nobody goes, have players uh, you know, elect out of it. It has no meaning. So you need to change when you actually do the game. So why not do something like Major League Baseball? Do it in the middle of the season, during like have a community by week where every team is off for one week and that's when you do the game. Something like that. Because the current structure, whether it's a stupid flag football game or the the traditional game that we grew up with, nobody cares about it at the end of the season because it's right before the Super Bowl. And if you're in the Super Bowl, you're not gonna play the the all-star Pro Bowl game because you might get hurt. You're not gonna get hurt going into the Super Bowl when it really fucking matters.
SPEAKER_02:Well, but but but that's exactly why you would think this would be the ideal time for players to actually like it's like, well, there's no more games until next season, so why don't we try hard? But the whole reason why it evolved to this point is because players didn't want to try hard and get hurt in the Pro Bowl. They didn't want to tear an ACL in the Pro Bowl and miss week one of the following season for a game that didn't matter. Right. Which is the exact reason why you couldn't do this structure in the middle of the season because why am I gonna go out here and play with these guys?
SPEAKER_03:But this game can't mean anything because they already, they already know they already know where the Super Bowl is every year, just like they know where the World Series is every year. This is a one-game thing. So it's not like in Major League Baseball, you can say, oh, you have, you know, whoever wins the All-Star game has home field advantage in the World Series. Well, it works for them because they have seven games. We have one game. So there's really no way that you can make this game mean anything. Trevor Burrus, Jr.
SPEAKER_02:Well, I know that there's some people listening that have come up with or had the thought of, well, why not make the two worst teams in the league go into a game and compete for the winner to get the number one overall play?
SPEAKER_03:Trevor Burrus For the same reason they don't want to get injured and risk missing the beginning of the thing.
SPEAKER_02:They'd have to, is the whole thing. But and there's a nut there's a number of complications. This is one is you're gonna make the worst two teams in the league stay in shape, not go on vacation for the wild card round, the divisional round, the championship round, and then come back four weeks later and compete in a game. Like they're not gonna do that. Uh they're just not gonna do that. Um not to mention, what if one of the two first top two teams uh trades away a first round pick for a player in next year's draft and now they're in that game. So like they're playing in a game for another team because they trade that pick away. Like it just doesn't, it just doesn't make sense. Um unless, of course, you just have that pick go to that game no matter what, and then the first overall pick actually goes to the number two team. Whatever. I don't know. But I do I do have another idea for this game. Uh one, the the motivation is the is the first thing you need to solve, in my opinion. And the motivation is I say you put a hundred million dollars into one game, into a prize pool. And the NFL mon and the NFL has got it. All right, just ride this wave with me. I already see your face. Ride this wave with me, okay? Let me sell it to you. You got a hundred million dollars, all right? It's rookies versus vets, all right? The rookies are defined as first year and second-year players, right? Through a Pro Bowl vote, the best of the first and second year players. The vets are classified as six-year players and up, right? Now you've got these players that are in their third, fourth, and fifth, right? So those Pro Bowlers, you do a little draft. It's too complicated and too many things. No, no, no, a lot of things too many things.
SPEAKER_03:ESPN would be like, you're a person of too many things. This is too many things.
SPEAKER_02:ESPN would love this, right? And so the winning team gets 70% of the prize pull of the hundred million. The losing team gets 30, right? Now here's the other thing is it relates to the pay. I've thought about this.
SPEAKER_03:Clearly.
SPEAKER_02:The rookies split it evenly. The veterans split it based on snap count. Because the rookies need the money. They haven't signed that rich second contract to where they get all the money.
SPEAKER_03:So no, JD's working for Campbell's now.
SPEAKER_02:So well, you know, some of these guys will be making well, look, a lot of those players will have made more in college than they do in their first year in the NFL because of this bullshit NIL money, which I still can't wrap my head around, but that's neither here nor there. Um but I think if you had enough money involved, because at the end of the day, these guys would play in that game if they meant that they're gonna get some, they're gonna get some extra money. Um, you know, damn be my injury, because they do that week by week, you know, like I'm getting paid to do this, you know. So that's the motivation. It's all it's gotta be about the money. It's not has nothing to do with the conference, it has nothing to do with your team. You want these guys to play, get their ass out of bed and away from Cancun for the weekend, and you'll get them to play hard, especially if they know that we're about to lose 40% of our money if you don't play. You know what I mean? So I don't know. I just thought because the Pro Bowl sucks so bad that we gotta find something different for them to do, unless they just go back to the NFC, AFC Pro Bowl game, like we remember, where Sean Taylor knocked the shit out of that pawner. Right? You know, we just go back to that same format. You just give these guys a fuck ton of money. Then they'll play. Then they'll play.
SPEAKER_03:I don't know.
SPEAKER_02:I don't know. But let's get into our can't lose locks.
SPEAKER_01:Can't lose locks.
SPEAKER_02:All right, Mike, before we get into our picks for this week, last week's podcast, we talked about the Oscar nominations. And of the ten nominees, you had only seen the three movies, but I think in the past week, correct me if I'm wrong, you watched uh what's the Leo movie?
SPEAKER_03:Uh One Battle After Another.
SPEAKER_02:One battle after another, and I watched it as well because you let me uh steal your HBO Max login. And then you watched Begonia, yeah. Uh Emma Stone. Yeah, did you watch that one? Oh yeah, yeah. I had I had seen that. Remember, I told you to watch that. It's on Peacock, I think. Yeah. So so now you've seen five. Do you do you have a favorite? I mean, assuming that the five that you've seen are the finalists, because there's a movie Hamnet. I had looked, I saw the trailer on that. There's no way I'm watching that movie. So I think it takes place in the Renaissance, some shit.
SPEAKER_03:Shakespearean.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, yeah, I ain't watching that. And then there's another movie out there that's like seems like like, you know, there's certain movies that are just overly artistic that make the best picture nominee list all the time because there's so many like theater people that like vote for that shit. But it's like that are obviously never gonna win. Um, but I don't know. So do you think uh one battle after another has a chance to win it?
SPEAKER_03:Probably not best picture.
SPEAKER_02:It was good though, right?
SPEAKER_03:It it well, you know that I It was better than I thought. Yeah, you know, I when that came out in the theaters, I bagged on that movie hard because I you you saw 45 movies in theaters last year, and that one wasn't one of them.
SPEAKER_02:I couldn't believe it. Yeah, it wasn't. You're like, nah, I ain't gonna see that. I'm like, you like the list of movies that you've seen, and you don't want to see the Leonardo DiCaprio movie.
SPEAKER_03:Uh in hindsight, I should have watched it in theater because it was it was a good movie.
SPEAKER_02:I enjoyed it. It was it it I enjoyed it a lot.
SPEAKER_03:I mean, some of the dialogue really kind of caught me off guard because uh we watched you and I watched the first like half an hour together that night. And some of the dialogue at the beginning, you're like, oh. Like that's that's an interesting choice.
SPEAKER_02:I like the pace of it. I like the pace of it. But it was overly sexualized in a lot of ways. You're like, well, it made me raise an eyebrow quite a few times. But begonia, my review on that last week, because I didn't want to reveal too much to you or spoil anything, was I I can see why it was nominated because the acting in it was good and the storyline was off, and it had a good twist at the end.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. Um but yeah, definitely different.
SPEAKER_03:I mean, it means I certainly wasn't expecting the the twist at the end. I'll put it to you that way.
SPEAKER_02:Aaron Powell Who's the other guy in the who's the main character in that? Not Emma Stone, but the guy. Um Plemens.
SPEAKER_03:Uh yeah, Jesse Plemons. I always want to say plumber, but it I think it is Plemens.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. That's it. He's good. All right. So can't lose locks. Well, oh no, finish my question. So do you think who do you think is going to win best picture?
SPEAKER_03:I think best picture is still going to be Marty Supreme.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, you think cool.
SPEAKER_03:All right. I think he wins best actor and best picture.
SPEAKER_02:All right. Well, that's your first can't lose locks, folks. All right, let's get into some prop bets. So one of the best things about the Super Bowl, and and now we're getting to our Super Bowl portion of the podcast, 42 minutes into it. Thank you. But um Yeah, we're going to a buddy of ours' house. He's gonna have people over, everybody's bringing a dish. I think that's pretty much the go-to Super Bowl party that everybody does. He put me uh in charge of prop bets and the squares. So I gotta make a a poster board 10 by 10 thing where everybody buys a a buck a square uh to predict the the score or whatever. So um but you gotta love the prop bets in the Super Bowl. It's one of the only games where you you can talk about these kind of bets. So you and I uh we're gonna go uh bet by bet. I've I've grabbed these up because I thought these were the most interesting. Um let me know what you think here on these. Will there be a coach or a player shown crying during the national anthem? Do you say yes or no?
SPEAKER_03:During the name 50-50. During the national anthem no.
SPEAKER_02:You don't think you because it's an um, it's a it's a this is what all these guys since they had started running from, you know, but you can see why it's a prop bet, right? Because you could see a lot of people saying, oh yeah. They I mean, this is if if that song doesn't get you in the feels at that moment, about to play that game in front of the entire world. Um so you say no. I I'm gonna say yes. And uh could the the Eagles coach a couple years back, he was he he got a shot him snivelling his his ass on the national item, I think. Uh all right, which quarterback do you think will be shown? First, during the national anthem. Sam Darnold, Drake May. Sam. Okay, I'm going Sam. Mikey going Sam. Just because you went Sam, I'm going to go Drake May. I expected that. Oh, and I will, and I'm I'll just say for the sake of it that somebody will cry so we can be opposites there. Um all right, you gotta pick one of these. Are you ready? Fat guy touchdown, octopus, kick return. Okay, let me let me backtrack. Fat guy touchdown, defensive lineman, offensive lineman. All right, fat guy touchdown. Maybe the defensive lineman scoops up a fumble and scores. Maybe the offense calls uh a touchdown pass to the offensive lineman because he's an eligible receiver. Um the octopus is will there be a player that catches a touchdown and the two-point conversion? The eight points. The octopus, you get it? Okay, and then uh obviously kick return kind of speaks for itself, but pick one of the three.
SPEAKER_03:Kick return.
SPEAKER_02:Kick return, I'm gonna go fat guy. Mike's got kick return, Bob's got fat guy. Um in the first commercial after kickoff, okay, all right, the clock has started. We've got the first TV time out after kickoff. And it doesn't need to be the first commercial, but what will be shown first? A car or food? And I know what you're thinking. Drink and food are different. So if it's a Mountain Dew commercial first, that does not classify as food.
SPEAKER_03:If it's a good one or like food. And food you think like Doritos or something.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, so basically you're betting on Ford, Toyota, Jaguar, you know, shit. That really could be or you're voting for avocado, Doritos, Tostitos, you know, all the common foods. Right. So do you think which will be shown first? Which which category of commercial after kickoff, car or food?
SPEAKER_03:After kickoff?
SPEAKER_02:They really kind of like who pays more?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. My my gut says car, but I think it will be food.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, you're you're taking a little bit out my playbook there.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:All right.
SPEAKER_03:My gut says car, but I think it will be actually food.
SPEAKER_02:Well, let me ask you this, and this is the only question that matters. What does your wallet think? Car. Car it is. Mike's going car, and you know what? I'm just riding this out. I'm going to go to the city.
SPEAKER_03:Watch it be about the Toyota, too.
SPEAKER_02:Um or Ford.
SPEAKER_03:NFL's Ford.
SPEAKER_02:Do you think, and this is a yes or no, do you think, and I I think this is a good one, uh, do you think there will be a movie trailer shown after halftime is done, right? No regulation on the clock. Halftime is underway.
unknown:Okay.
SPEAKER_03:Right?
SPEAKER_02:But before the halftime show, right? There's a commercial break that takes place.
SPEAKER_03:Yes, but it won't be anything Marvel related. They already said they're setting out the Super Bowl.
SPEAKER_02:So you think there will be a movie trailer that takes place in that five minutes, basically. They're whipping out the stage and all that stuff. So I'm going to say no. I'm going to say no. Of course, Mike.
SPEAKER_03:You're going to go opposite.
SPEAKER_02:Anything I freaking say, you're going to go opposite. At this point, I've done that. I mean, I I was look, I I I kind of started agreeing with you on the first one, but at this point, it's just like, I'm just going opposite. All right. This is where you get to choose here. Multiple choice gatoring color on the coach at the end of the game.
SPEAKER_03:What was that last year? I think it was like purple.
SPEAKER_02:I think it was purple.
SPEAKER_03:I'm gonna go orange.
SPEAKER_02:Orange. Orange. Uh, I'm gonna go blue. All right. We will let you all know next week in our Can't Lose Live segment, uh, how we did on our prop bets. But I like it. I I dig it. Um all right. Uh before we get into the football of the Super Bowl, let me just give you a rundown of what I know about the football. Or about the Super Bowl, I should say. Yeah, let's hear it. Um commercials hit an all-time high. And of course, every year they're just gonna continue to go up, up, I think they're around what, maybe ten or twelve million? Ten million dollars for a 30-second.
SPEAKER_03:Because last year I think it was around eight.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. They just keep going up, man. It's the most watch. All the analytics just keep pointing, just everything goes up and up and up. And so everything just gets more and more expensive. But$10 million. Anyway. For a 30 second spots. It's tough, man, because these numbers just get to a point to where it's just like it was like impressive when it hit a million for the first time. But now it's just like, what's the difference? Might as well be a hundred million. They got it. Talking about Pepsi and the other. You know, they would pay it too. You know, they'd pay it. If you made it$50 million for a 30-second slot, there'd be a number of companies that would still sign up for it.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. I don't know why. I mean, look at the tech boom of the early 2000s, all those GoDaddy commercials and the all those different commercials. I forget all the different uh, but they all they all spent the money, of course, in the early 2000s. It was around a million dollars, so it was much cheaper.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. Um, you ready for your entertainment lineup? Because as we all know, the Super Bowl is more than just a football game. And man, there's a big part of me that wishes that it could be just a football game.
SPEAKER_03:It's never gonna be just a football game. It's the Super Bowl.
SPEAKER_02:You know, get over it and move on. Yeah, but like the college national championship game, that seems like just a football game.
SPEAKER_03:Nobody gives a shit about college. That's why it's just a game. Nobody cares enough about college. Okay?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Because half the college players are gonna be bagging groceries at Kmart the following week.
SPEAKER_02:All right. Well, yeah, I mean, it is more than a game. So here's what we got. Uh, and this is just what we know. Uh, Green Day is gonna open the quote unquote show with uh some form of entertainment. Um so we know So they're not doing the national. They aren't singing the national. Nope, nope, nope. Green Day is gonna all we know is Green Day is gonna be there. They're gonna be performing and entertaining in some capacity to open the show.
SPEAKER_03:All right.
SPEAKER_02:Um Brandy Carlisle is going to sing America the Beautiful. Do you know who Brandy Carlisle is?
SPEAKER_03:She's from the 80s.
SPEAKER_02:Okay. Um Coco Jones. Do you know who Coco Jones is? No, I don't. I do not. Coco Jones is going to be singing list lift every voice, which is aka the black national anthem. So Coco Jones will be singing that. And then Charlie Pooth. We know who Carly Charlie Pooth is.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:He he is going to be singing the national anthem. Okay. Uh, and then Bad Bunny to perform the halftime show. And I don't, there's been no rumors as to anybody that's going to join him. Um, Mike, I I don't know a single Bad Bunny song. Me either. That's why I'm not really like you could probably play one or two for me and be like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I heard that one. I heard that one. Um, but yeah, I don't know. I know he's been on SNL a number of times.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, he's been on SNL. He showed up in WWE a time or two. Okay. But I mean, uh the as soon as they announced him as the halftime show, I immediately lost interest because I'm not familiar with his music. I'm not a fan of his music, so it doesn't do anything for me.
SPEAKER_02:I I I was disappointed just because I knew that it was gonna turn political. And I just don't like it. Like, just let's just can we just keep it about football. No, it's just but now it's gonna be, but now we're gonna have this whole, now we're gonna have a whole uh protest during the NFL halftime show, which I can just do without. I don't know.
SPEAKER_03:Our illustrious deer leader had everything to do with that.
SPEAKER_02:So well, you know, there's there, yeah, the world's done.
SPEAKER_03:And if they don't like, you know, the NFL halftime show, they can always tune over to Fox News and watch Kid Rock. Oh, yeah, I heard there was Turning Point USA and the I won't no, I won't go any further.
SPEAKER_02:No, I mean yeah, I heard they were gonna have I heard they were gonna have their own their own halftime show over there, which man, uh like why? Like, why? It doesn't make any it doesn't make any sense to me. It's just so stupid.
SPEAKER_03:Anyway, I'm going to talk about football. Yeah, I'm going to abstain because I don't want to get us canceled. I really don't give a shit.
SPEAKER_02:I I really don't give a shit. I mean, look, uh if this was a political podcast, I wouldn't have any problem talking about politics with people. Um, I've got an opinion, you've got an opinion, whatever. Uh, but this is uh this is football. Why does why do we got to talk about bullshit when we should just be talking about football?
SPEAKER_03:Um a question for the ages. Go ahead and move on.
SPEAKER_02:Seattle Seahawks have a lot of players, and so do the New England players Patriots. Um, let's switch this back over to football.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Um so Seattle, New England, they've played before 2014. Yes. Um, 28-24 New England won. And if I I think everybody just remembers that Super Bowl as the handoff that Marshawn Lynch didn't get, right? Because that's where they decide to throw it. Uh Russell Wilson decided to throw it on like the two, three-yard line and threw a pick to uh Butler, the DB, right on the edge there, and lost him the game there in the fourth quarter. Uh so that that for what will always be the Super Bowl that they didn't hand it to Marshton Lynch on the two-yard line because it's beast mode. Give him the rock, let him win you the Super Bowl. But you didn't see what you're there for. But uh yeah, that was a crazy Super Bowl, a memorable one. Um Vrabel was not on that uh Super Bowl team, but he has won three Super Bowls as a player, looking to add to that as the coach of the New England Patriots. Sam Darnold, Jackson Smith Najigba, Kenneth Walker, Cooper Cup. He'd won one already with the Rams. Uh Drake May coming in at year two, Ramadre Stevenson, Stefan Diggs, aka uh uh Cardi B's, baby daddy.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, he's got like uh 50 kids by 10 different women, I think.
SPEAKER_02:Man, I mean I used to like to say, oh yeah, that's a Maryland guy, but I don't like to claim him anymore. He's been in some controversies. He started his career off as a young, hungry, really talented player and has now just been kind of lumped into this like Odell Beckham kind of a personality. Uh I just I don't know what happened to him. A little couple, you look, you make a couple mil, that kind of shit happens. Um but yeah, who do you who what are you what are you expecting out of this? I mean, we really haven't talked Patriots much this year. We're NFC, they're AFC. We didn't play the case.
SPEAKER_03:I think it's gonna be a pretty even killed game. I know who I want to win, but I think I think it's gonna be a pretty even game. I I don't really think either team is gonna be extremely dominant.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, I was thinking about it. I I'm I've been trying to think of what like a good final score prediction would be. I'm kind of thinking like a 28-24 either way.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, you think it'll be you think it'll be I think that's kind of high.
SPEAKER_02:I kind of think it's it's it's high and low. You know, it's not 30-30. I don't really have a score in mind, but you know, it's not 17-14. I think it'll be close. Um I think some points will get put up on the board on both sides of the ball. I think both teams are are honestly pretty evenly matched. The the everything that I keep seeing about the Patriots is that stigma that we didn't like to hear so much last year. It was like, oh, they were only 12 and 5 because of their easy schedule. And the Patriots had an easy schedule this year. They didn't face a lot of talented quarterbacks, they didn't face a lot of teams who retained their head coach. I saw that one as well. A lot of the teams that they had faced this year had lost their head coach. Um, kind of uh pointing to like a downward gear. You know what I mean? So, like you got all that.
SPEAKER_03:I mean, the test will be as it was for us, it'll be next season when they're paying when they're playing the the upper echelon teams with the better records.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, you know I mean, but easy schedule or not, I mean, you still made it through the playoffs and got to the big games. So um, and they're uh both teams I think very well disciplined. I've been saying that about the Seahawks all season long. Um, since we played them, really. I it didn't occur to me until we played them week nine that the how disciplined that they looked all on the field and on the sidelines together. Um but yeah, uh I want the Seahawks to win because we had already seen the Patriots win so many times before. And I know Tom Brady's not there, so basically a completely clean news. I I I'm actually curious if there's any players on the Patriots that are still there from the last time they won, won, which I don't know. I don't know which year that was at this point, but um that would have been a long time ago. So I doubt it.
SPEAKER_03:I mean um but I agree. I I I want the Seahawks to win.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. I mean, the people up there in New England and Boston, they've had they they get to they get this all the time. They always get to be at the Super Bowl, they always get to have their teams win championships, the Red Sox and the Bruins and the Celtics. They always get to win everything up there. Like, no, I'm done. So pat on the back, you guys got to go. Um but actually now that I'm looking at our board up there, Mike, we did play the Patriots week one of the preseason. We lost 48-18.
SPEAKER_03:Wow. I don't even remember that game.
SPEAKER_02:No, maybe well, we wouldn't. Preseason week one. But we did play them. Um but all right, so I I'm gonna stick I'm gonna stick to what I said before. I'm gonna go Seahawks 28, um, New England 24 is my final score prediction uh for the Super Bowl when the Seahawks winning it um for the NFC. What do you think? You already said Seahawks, but give me a final score. You think a little bit lower scoring?
SPEAKER_03:I do, but I'm gonna say I'm gonna go yeah, I'm gonna say 17-14.
SPEAKER_02:Close one. Close one, but a lot of commercial breaks.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I just I don't know if it's gonna get into the 20s the way that you think it will, but I don't know.
SPEAKER_02:I'm cool with defense, I'm cool with defense, I don't mind it at all. All right, folks. Well, that leads us to the end of our podcast. We're just gonna give you a little tease uh for our season finale uh next next week. Um next week, we're gonna go through our stats for the podcast to let you all know what kind of a community you are. Uh who you're not the only ones listening, so I'm gonna go through our season-long stats.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, there's at least one other person.
SPEAKER_02:Well, mom. But you forgot about Tom, you know he listens. Yeah, yeah. So there's two.
SPEAKER_03:I'm sure he'll be critiquing you in a few minutes.
SPEAKER_02:Right, yeah. So uh we'll go through the stats, see how many cities we're in, how many countries we're in, how many of you are are listening, how many have have listened to multiple.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, do we still have our listener from Indonesia or wherever the hell that was?
SPEAKER_02:They've been around. They've been around. We actually uh added two new countries since the last time that I told you about. Oh can't wait to hear about that. And then at some point next week, during the pub, we're gonna get into our equivalent of the Dundees. You know, the Dundees from the office, Michael Scott, Dunder Mifflin. Yeah, yeah, we're gonna do our own our own version of the Dundees. You know what we should call it? No idea. The commies.
SPEAKER_03:Not an appropriate name. Let's let's come up with the commanders, right? The commie awards. Let's come up with something else.
SPEAKER_02:We're not let's come up with something else. All right, well, you get to brainstorm what our awards will be, but uh no, but uh but this gives me a good opportunity to bring this up with you. So uh we'll we'll float this off.
SPEAKER_03:Chat GPT, another name. Okay. Trust me.
SPEAKER_02:Uh ChatGPT came up with that.
SPEAKER_03:Work harder. Work harder. We were we're trying to make it into a season two, okay?
SPEAKER_02:So um a couple things just off the top of my head, and you and I will come up with a list of things for you and I to think about. Uh, I think the first thing we need to decide is is this gonna be uh like are you and I going to agree on these awards, or are we gonna is Bob giving out an award, or is Mike the only way this is gonna work is if we agree. Okay. So we're gonna here's what they need Commander of the Year, right? Basically, our equivalent of the team's MVP for this season. There was no one we'll we'll talk about a best play, um, our best home game moment together, right? Because we traveled to all the games. We had a lot of good times at the games, regardless of the win or the loss. We had good times. It's a fun time. Um Best Food. We got to talk about best food. I've got your rankings that you hate so much. Um I I want to talk about like an offensive player, a defensive player, specifically from the lens of like a rising star. Someone that's gonna be on our team next year that we're gonna trust way. He's the only sure thing we got. So we'll get into some of that, uh, some of those uh superlatives. The commanding commander is super superlatives, a command that could be the superlatives. Um, anyway, that's what we uh have got on plan for our season finale. We'll obviously gonna talk about what we see at the Super Bowl and how great bad bunny was.
SPEAKER_03:Can't wait.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. So this is the point of the podcast where I I asked you guys, and you guys have listened, and I appreciate all of you so much.
SPEAKER_03:Yes, we've made it this far.
SPEAKER_02:Thanks for the DMs, thanks for the the shout-out. They deserve a commune. We'll give them maybe we'll give them a communal. Thank you for the reviews, thank you for the the likes and shares on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook. We appreciate all of you. Um looking forward to the Super Bowl, one more episode this season, and we will see you next week. Thank you. Hail to the Redskins.
SPEAKER_00:Thanks for listening to the Command the Commute Podcast. I now welcome you to crack a cold beer, cook up some chicken wings, and enjoy the football game. Because the commanders, the team, the redskins, or whatever else you call them, is gonna kick some ass. If this is a home game, Bob and Michael will be in the red zone lot at Northwest Stadium. We encourage you to come to our tailgate and say hello. If you are still listening to the podcast, wow, you are an extremely loyal listener. I wonder how much longer you'll stay.
