**Danny Kelly** (1:56)
Oh, that's great. I love to hear that.

**Danny Heifetz** (1:58)
All right.

**Craig Horlbeck** (1:59)
DK didn't know that. So that's good that you're telling him.

**Danny Kelly** (2:02)
I'm excited to talk about the good ones.

**Danny Heifetz** (2:04)
We're, well, the bad ones are usually more fun. We're going to go through that and DK watch Transformers finally. So we're going to do a little movie club at the end.

**Craig Horlbeck** (2:11)
Summer movie club.

**Danny Kelly** (2:12)
If I look tired, it's because this movie, guys, you didn't tell me it's two and a half hours long.

**Craig Horlbeck** (2:18)
It's two hours and 15 minutes.

**Danny Kelly** (2:19)
No, well, 224, two hours and 24 minutes.

Well, you got to watch the, you have to listen to the whole song.
Anyways, I'm exhausted. Watch this movie. We'll get to that later.

**Danny Heifetz** (2:32)
It's funny to me you didn't watch this movie with your son, which I kind of just assumed you would.

**Danny Kelly** (2:36)
Oh, he would. He's not ready for that yet.

**Danny Heifetz** (2:39)
Not ready for what?

**Danny Kelly** (2:40)
For Transformers.

**Craig Horlbeck** (2:43)
Too violent or what?

**Danny Heifetz** (2:44)
Yeah, what? What do you mean?

**Danny Kelly** (2:45)
Too scary, too violent.

**Danny Heifetz** (2:46)
Too scary?

**Craig Horlbeck** (2:47)
Yeah. What is he, six, seven?

**Danny Kelly** (2:49)
Seven, yeah.

**Danny Heifetz** (2:54)

So link in the description if you wanted to go to the page, just link in the episode.

**Danny Heifetz** (3:27)
Just click the DK. What's it called? You called an Earl, which I still think is worse than anything I've ever said.

**Danny Kelly** (3:34)
Tiny Earl. Isn't that the name of the website, Tiny Earl?

**Danny Heifetz** (3:37)
It's a URL.

**Danny Kelly** (3:38)
You say Tiny Earl.

**Craig Horlbeck** (3:40)
No one says Tiny at all, and you just say URL.

**Danny Heifetz** (3:43)
You say go to the link, Earl. I, whatever, if I said that, I would never get the fucking end of it. Whatever.

**Danny Kelly** (3:50)
Maybe I said it wrong.

**Danny Heifetz** (3:52)
We'll never find out. Anyway, when I get to the quarterbacks, when I get to our quarterback rankings, I want to start with, before we get into the specifics, I want to sort of two big picture things as we go to quarterbacks. This is partially fantasy. This is more of a real life story, but I wanted to start here with the quarterbacks as we get into it.
