I got a story to tell y'all of a personable country boy who's only seen green lights. It's me, I'm the Country Boy, and this is my diary.

00:00:15

Let's go.

00:00:23

When's this coming out, Jeremy?

00:00:25

Friday, September 4th. Y'all can stream it everywhere. The Diary of a Personable Fella. It's gonna be great on this program.

00:00:32

You don't talk like that.

00:00:34

Pilgrim talks like that.

00:00:36

I don't think country people actually say pilgrim anymore.

00:00:39

Dan, I gotta tell you, are you watching the show Lioness right now?

00:00:44

Uh, it's funny that you should ask. I watched the first 30 minutes last night.

00:00:48

Of the new season?

00:00:49

Uh, no, I've never seen it.

00:00:50

Oh, you've never seen it at all?

00:00:51

I've never seen the show. So because you guys have been talking about this so much, uh, I, I saw the first 30 minutes last night.

00:00:59

What a show. Were you into it?

00:01:01

Yeah, I mean, it started off— well, is it Taylor Sheridan? Like, the writer and director, like, he makes big, good things that people like.

00:01:09

Loves putting himself in his own shows where he could show his huge muscles. That's his move. You've noticed that, right?

00:01:14

I did not. Well, I haven't noticed anything because I've been just watching the 30 minutes. That's his move, though. But I didn't— is he in the first 30 minutes? I don't know what he looks like.

00:01:21

No, no, no. I'm not sure when he appears in that, but whenever he's in his shows, he always writes himself in. And he's wearing like a tank top and he's just jacked.

00:01:30

Everybody seems to like that show. It's awesome. And I have not seen enough of it to know. And also it would require me to get Paramount Plus. This was the free episode. I'm watching the first episode that they give you free to get you tied in. Juju is always good on the television recommendations. So, Juju, what do you have for us these days? What do you got for me to watch?

00:01:54

Yes, sir. I got a top 5 for you right now. Top 5 shows you should be watching right now. This OLI Adults on Hulu. Come on now.

00:02:08

So good.

00:02:09

Yes, sir. Great little group of friends going around New York City. Quirky, funny, lighthearted. You can watch it while doing other things. Great show. What you think, Jeremy?

00:02:18

That show's made me laugh out loud more than any TV show I've watched in like the last decade. It is so, so, so funny.

00:02:25

Hell yeah, man. Number 5, Tires on Netflix. Season 3 right now. I think it's the funniest season so far, bruh. All them jokers is funny as hell, bruh.

00:02:41

That is easy to make, right? It's a low-budget show. And Shane Gillis, is he, is he the overseer on all of it? Is he doing all of the writing on that?

00:02:50

I think, uh, I, I, if I'm not mistaken, McKeever—

00:02:54

His co-star.

00:02:55

Something.

00:02:55

The co-star is a co-creator with him.

00:02:58

Exactly. The, the, the main character who's the manager of the spot, he wrote this while he was in college, you feel me? And they came to pass all these years later. Number 4, Dark Matter. Welcome back on Apple TV, man. The first season was gripping. Season 2 just started, so you can get right on in, man.

00:03:19

What's that show about, brother?

00:03:22

No spoilers here, but imagine having an opportunity to change that one decision that you think would change everything and would have you where you wish you were in life. That option is on the table.

00:03:36

All right.

00:03:38

Number 3, Furious. Come on, man. On Hulu, brothers and sisters, this show is amazing, following Definitely, definitely troubled individuals, but those troubled individuals have been taken advantage of in the worst ways. So you want to see how it plays out.

00:03:59

My wife watches that show. She says it's crazy.

00:04:01

Hell yeah, super crazy, man. Number 2, The Silo, Apple TV, man. This show has been greater and greater every season. Last, last week's episode cliffhanger. I think the season finale is this week, so you got time. Lock it in. And the number 1 show you should be watching, Zazzlo said it earlier, The Lioness.

00:04:28

You stole Juju's number 1, Zazz?

00:04:31

You stole it?

00:04:32

I didn't know. It just means that he and I both know good television. That's all it means. No stealing going on.

00:04:37

Yes, sir, man. They tell you, they tell you how this world, this world be working, man. A lot of times, a lot of stuff that they be explaining, you be like, damn, it might not be a gunshot in the entire scene, but it is gripping with the information and the tactics that the government is using, man. Lock in.

00:04:54

Uh, Juju mentioned, uh, the idea that something great was written in college. I don't know what's the greatest example that you have of young people doing something amazing. I know Boogie Nights, uh, was directed when, uh, you know, at 25 years old. Uh, Good Will Hunting, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon wrote that in their 20s. And I also have for you some, uh, facts here I learned the other day on Usual Suspects. Are you guys aware that Usual Suspects cost only $6 million to make, was filmed in 35 days, and Bryan Singer wrote it when he was 26 and directed it when he was 29. I— it makes me feel like we have not done enough with our 20s around here.

00:05:34

It's crazy stuff like that. What happened to that guy?

00:05:37

Uh, what do you have for us on today's show, Juju? Uh, what is it that, uh, requires some re-examination?

00:05:44

Brother, you said it earlier, bro. Sometimes I just be walking around in life and all of a sudden I remember that Howard Bryant tore both his hamstrings at once.

00:05:54

I mean, it is— we did not make enough of that. You cannot talk enough. And it's not just tore both his hamstrings at once, did it waking up, right?

00:06:05

So I got the top 3 hypotheses that I've just been sticking to over the years on how my brother Howard Bryant tore his damn hammies. Number 3, you know how karate people, when they fall down, they get up by kicking their legs up, by kipping up If you will. I think my boy tried to kip up out of bed.

00:06:26

Like Shawn Michaels?

00:06:30

Yeah, bro. First thing in the morning, he was like, you know what, let's see if I still got it.

00:06:35

Feel myself.

00:06:39

Number 2, look, my boy was getting busy and he tried that one move that he ain't tried since 1997.

00:06:46

Baby!

00:06:46

Both hamstring. It's a guy. And the number one reason that I think he probably— how this all happened, he had a dream thinking about Michael Jackson. I don't know, you still got it. You hear Michael Jackson, you think you can do it. I think my boy tried to do the Michael Jackson tiptoes and found out the wrong way that his hammies did not have it in them.

00:07:11

Before we get to the polls here, Mike Ryan, Dominique Foxworth is saying on the Get Up re-air that by the end of September, Reuben Bain will be the NFL's sack leader. People are saying that he's been great in training camp.

00:07:26

Can I point out to you something, Dan? And I think you guys can back me up on this. I had Dominique Foxworth on Zaslow Show 2.0 a couple weeks ago, and I asked him about Reuben Bain, and he said to me that he thinks that if we weren't from Miami, we wouldn't be as high on Reuben Bain as we are.

00:07:43

Now he's the sack leader.

00:07:44

Yeah, what's going on there? I think he was viewing that through like the Dolphins prism. Because it is probably a little overblown. But Reuben Bain is dealing with a minor injury.

00:07:54

He also— he also woke up today with Get Up and had the game, What Happens When September Ends? You got to play the game.

00:08:00

All right.

00:08:01

Yeah, but Foxworth, you're a big phony giving different opinions in different places, and you've been seen by Zaslow and called out by Zaslow.

00:08:09

How much time has passed?

00:08:10

Uh, it was a few weeks ago.

00:08:12

All right.

00:08:13

You're, you're phony, Foxworth.

00:08:14

New data.

00:08:15

We need to make it Phony Foxworth Fridays. Juju, let's update the poll at Le Batard Show. How many did we have today? How many good ones did we have today?

00:08:26

We just got 2 of them, big brother. Will Heat fans like the nickname Clay Allen? 69% of the audience says no, they will not. And now— and last poll, can you be someone's great friend and break their jaw? 53% of the audience says yes. And those are your polls. Can you be Zazz's friend and call him Jason?

00:08:47

What?

00:08:50

Uh, that, uh, that was Michael Irvin, a highlight from the Michael Irvin interview. We're gonna get a whole season.

00:09:03
