Although there might not be any good quarterbacks, there just may never be another good quarterback. The last good quarterback may have already been born.

Ryan (0:17)

Yeah. I mean, if Arch isn't a good quarterback, there's no more hope. There can't be.

All right, we're back. It is Tuesday. It is October 20th, and Kim Jong Un is alive?

SPEAKER_2 (2:03)

We don't know.

Ryan (2:04)

Question mark? This might be the first podcast that we've ever recorded without Kim Jong Un on this earth.

It's a moment of silence for the guy?

Arian Foster (2:15)

I don't know. Damn, I have not spent a minute on the Internet this week. What happened?

SPEAKER_2 (2:19)

Well, these are very much rumors, but some people are claiming he had a brain hemorrhage and has potentially died. Very unverified.

Arian Foster (2:29)

Now, how does something like this get out? Because he'd be right, you know, he'd be stacking a deck.

SPEAKER_2 (2:34)

The last time I saw that people had seen him was the 11th, I think he was at some sort of opening of a factory or something. Yep. So, yeah, there are there are rumors that he is at least in a coma, if not dead after a brain hemorrhage and that he was rushed to China for treatment. So, maybe that's how some stuff leaked, if it's true.

Arian Foster (3:02)

Rushed to China for treatment.

SPEAKER_2 (3:03)

Yep.

Arian Foster (3:07)

That's interesting.

SPEAKER_2 (3:08)

I mean, that makes sense. Yeah.

Arian Foster (3:12)

Yeah, I mean, if I'm the leader of a country, I would hope I'm running things smoothly enough to be like, give me the best doctors in the nation. And he'd be like, nah, bro, take me to some, take me so much totally different.

SPEAKER_2 (3:24)

No, I think he's smart enough to know that, yeah, get me some, get me out of here.

Ryan (3:27)

That would be a wake up call, wouldn't it? Where you and your family, you're responsible for everything in this country, and you don't have the medical facilities necessary to treat you.

SPEAKER_2 (3:37)

A little ironic.

Ryan (3:38)

Yeah. Even though you've got like your team of, I'm sure he has access to the best doctors in North Korea, or at least the doctors that are really good at telling him what he wants to hear.

But like facilities, there's no infrastructure there for them to treat, allegedly, whatever's happening with him. Now, this has happened a couple of times. They've reported that he reportedly died like every five years. There's something going around. So I don't know. Doesn't he have a train that follows him around, that he can poop in?

SPEAKER_2 (4:10)

I do feel like I recall hearing something about poop.

Ryan (4:13)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_2 (4:14)

But I don't remember exactly what it is.

Ryan (4:17)

When he travels, he usually has a train that he goes on to to poop, so that nobody can collect his poop and analyze it, and figure out anything about his health, any sort of nutritional deficiencies he might have. They can get no clues into what's going on inside that hot pot.
