Starting point is 00:03:09 I love you too, big cat. I love you guys. I love all you guys. We should actually, I'll do that again because I feel bad for the Rams fans out there. Today is Monday, February 14th and the Los Angeles Rams are your Super Bowl champions. Clap it up for the Rams.
Starting point is 00:03:24 All right. Good job, Rams. Good job, Rams. It's Ramley, right? Yeah, we're one big Ramley here. Now we were obviously rooting for the Bengals and you'll forgive us if our voices are hoarse. We've been on the road.
Starting point is 00:03:37 We're in La Berge Casino Resort in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Shout out La Berge. Beautiful, but our voices do sound like we've been just sucking on machine guns and gasoline. Yeah. Which is pretty close to what we've been actually doing. I woke up this morning and I was like,
Starting point is 00:03:50 ooh, my voice sounds better and it doesn't. But it sounds better than it did. So at least I'm on the mend. But yeah. Not me. I'm sucking down these jewels like in water. Super Bowl 56, a great game, thrilling game, felt a little incomplete at the end,
Starting point is 00:04:06 but let's break it all down. We should start with the Super Bowl champion Rams. Incredible performance by them. All in, OBJ gets hurt. It felt like that was, I mean, the first half of the Rams felt like they had a really good offensive game plan and OBJ was wide open. It's hard to cover both those guys.
Starting point is 00:04:26 He gets hurt. Their offense starts to putter in the second half. Their defense was absolutely incredible in the second half. And that defensive line, like we had our dude offs and guy off, sorry, guy off. And you know that like the thing that comes out of the Super Bowl every year is like, oh, what's the blueprint?
Starting point is 00:04:48 How do they do this? Well, they had Cooper Cup and they had Aaron Donald. And they had two guys that were insanely, insanely good and completely took over the game in the fourth quarter when they needed it the most. And it's like, can you do the Rams model? Well, can you get Aaron Donalds, who's one of the greatest defensive players of all time
Starting point is 00:05:08 in Cooper Cup, who I'll have to like, we'll do an extended cleanup on Wednesday, but I would say off the top of my head, he's up there now with greatest wide receiver seasons of all time. Yeah, in terms of his regular season and then what he did in the playoffs and what he did in that fourth quarter
Starting point is 00:05:27 when it was pretty much, they can't run the ball even though Sean McVeigh thought they could. And they had like a couple guys that could maybe catch up, but it was Cooper Cup. It was Cooper Cup. The whole defense knew it was Cooper Cup. Cooper Cup knew it was Cooper Cup. The whole world knew it was going to Cooper Cup
Starting point is 00:05:42 and you still couldn't stop Cooper Cup. Yeah, I mean, the Bengals had everything that they needed to have happen for them. They had the special teams mix up. That could have been a very costly missed extra point. Right. They had turnovers. Matt Stafford did a couple of Matt Stafford things.
Starting point is 00:05:58 And then they had a big game at times from some of their wide outs. They had some big plays that went in there. Now, people are saying that was offensive pass interference. I say that if you're a Los Angeles Rams fan, you probably, the statute of limitations is still underway of you not being allowed to complain about missed pass interference calls
Starting point is 00:06:18 with the playoffs. Well, it's more even in this game, you know, we joke about NFL rigged. Everyone loves to call it NFL rigged. NFL rigged. I called it. I called it NFL rigged twice. It was weird that the game had basically no penalties.
Starting point is 00:06:32 The only penalty was that dude on the Bengals who like don't get on the plane because with what two minutes left, Matt Stafford throws a pick in the end zone. He's this guy's on injured. I don't know who it was, but he's on injured reserve. He's not in a uniform. He runs onto the field.
Starting point is 00:06:51 You're not dressed to the Super Bowl and you managed to get your team a 10 yard penalty. That is all time, all time bad. Did he have a note? So he was not even wearing a uniform. So when they announced the penalty where they're like, up this guy, sportsman like conduct, males, sweatshirt, wearing gray hoodie.
Starting point is 00:07:09 Yes. Yes. And that like age zoomed in on him. That was, that was like the Homer Simpson gift in real life. Get the fuck out of here. But is there, do you think that there's a more dislike player in the NFL than Eli Apple? Oh, because they picked on him. And it was like every single player
Starting point is 00:07:28 that was watching the game, current players, he just shit, just roasting the fuck out of him. Like he was getting just dragged by guys that are like the third wide out on some of the worst teams. Right. He's got like a big target on his back, not only from quarterbacks who just pick on him all the time, but for anybody that he's ever matched up against.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Michael Harman just tweeted multiple times. We said, wish he was a better corner than winning, than the game winning touchdown, wouldn't have been scored on you. And then after he tweeted just a video of his Super Bowl ring, he says, cool, big bro, you might get one of these one day. In the meantime, just go get better at your crowd. I mean, the, the Apple cup cloud,
Starting point is 00:08:02 the Apple cup matchup was, it was actually more one sided than the actual Apple cup. Yeah. So, so the penalties though. So that guy gets the penalty. There was three others. There was four penalties total in the first 58 minutes of the game.
Starting point is 00:08:17 58 minutes of the game. Our guy from stat whole sports tweeted out that in the last 22 years, there were only 10 games in which there were four or less penalties in the first 58 minutes and two or more penalties on a team in the final two minutes. Again, I don't think you can say NFL rigged here because what the argument would be that the Bengals got screwed at the end of the game.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Well, Jalen Ramsey, that was a face mask. That, that, that long touchdown was a face mask. The Bengals got away with one. No problem with it. It just sucks when you watch a whole game with no rest involved. And I think the, the, the moment becomes big guys hold a little more because they're worried about, you know, giving up a touchdown. But it did suck that the game ended with like a flurry of penalties
Starting point is 00:08:58 down at the goal. Now that being said, it is fun to say NFL rig and I completely support everybody's right to do so. I actually think there's going to be a compilation. Someone's going to make a compilation. I love it when fans do these of the cherry picked NFL rigged moments from a game, we should make a clip where it shows all the Bengals complaints about NFL rig and then just put like the clip of that long
Starting point is 00:09:19 touchdown in and then just say, like, this was a great call. Yeah. And just move on. Yes. Like be honest about, about your biases in this. It was honestly a fun game. The NFL had a great postseason and it was a good super. Well, the only bad part and listen, yeah, I'm going to sound like a
Starting point is 00:09:33 hater about the Rams because I did want the Bengals to win. But it's the Rams are a bad team to have to go through seven months after the Super Bowl is over where it's like, oh, yeah, the Rams won the Super Bowl. If the Bengals were the reigning Super Bowl champion, that would make the offseason like a little spicier, a little fun. Of course. But, but let's just say the Rams were the best team.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Yes, they were the best team in the NFL this year. They played like a complete, you know, they had some moments where they were down, they had a couple of swans there. They've righted the ship. Think about their, think about their playoffs. Like they went, they kicked the shit out of the Cardinals so much so that Kyler Murray like wants to be off the team. That's how bad they killed the Cardinals.
Starting point is 00:10:13 They went to Tampa Bay. They slayed the dragon and Tom Brady made him retire, made him retire when they were trying to give the game away. They then beat the boogeyman and Kyle Shanahan in the 49ers. And then they beat the Bengals who the Bengals were a really good team themselves. Like the Rams are like, I'm walking away from this season, not being like, oh man, feels like the best team didn't win at all. No, the Rams are the best team.
Starting point is 00:10:34 Yeah, for sure. They're the best team and I want to get ahead of the take because someone's about to drop this one. Does the NFL have a super team problem? Because the last two Super Bowls were won by super teams. Well, it's, I mean, it's credit to them for keeping it all together. And like those swoon, like Vaughn Miller already said, he's going to test free agency.
Starting point is 00:10:51 It's going to be hard. This is, I don't even want to do this because I don't want to do it to Rams fans being like, Oh, well, you went all in flags fly forever. They deserve all the credit in the world. Let's go on Wednesday show then. We'll list the free agents on Wednesday show. But for, for the fact that the Rams basically said, this is our window. Like obviously in retrospect, the Stafford trade makes a lot of sense
Starting point is 00:11:12 because they won the Super Bowl, but it was ballsy at the time. You know, you're taking a chance on a guy who hasn't won a playoff game, who's had a good, a very good career, but it hasn't had a lot of winning seasons and they went all in and they said, you know, they have Aaron Donald. They went and got OBJ. They, they got Vaughn Miller. Like all these moves where they don't have the depth. They don't have the, the, the cap flexibility.
Starting point is 00:11:34 They don't have the draft picks going forward. None of it matters because any fan in the world would take a Super Bowl ring and having to deal with whatever comes after that. Like that's not how it works. It's not like, Oh man, they're fucked for the future. Doesn't matter. They have this ring. They were the best team this year and they deserve all the credit.
Starting point is 00:11:52 Yeah. As far as super teams go, this super team was actually built correctly in a really smart way in a way that paid off in the final game of the season. Like OBJ was awesome. He got way better after he got out of Cleveland. I think that we were all like, you know, we were making front of the free OBJ movement, but at the time there were some real issues about OBJ and what the way that he was playing in Cleveland.
Starting point is 00:12:14 But he came up huge in the last like two months of the season that he led the team in touchdowns over the last five or six games. And in the Super Bowl, he came up big. And when they got Vaughn Miller, that's exactly why you get Vaughn Miller because Aaron Donald's getting double teamed and triple teamed and you can't block Vaughn Miller one on one. And then once Vaughn Miller gets three sacks, what do they do? They have to start chipping on him moving the protection.
Starting point is 00:12:37 Floyd, bear for life. Yeah. Then what happens with Aaron Donald at that point, he just gets fucking unleashed and comes up the middle. It actually worked perfectly the way that they designed the super team. Also, I don't even know why we're like, like explaining this. Like everyone knows who's listening to this podcast. We're the biggest Rams podcast in the world.
Starting point is 00:12:56 Yeah. We've always thought they were, of course, there's, well, we had them. We joked about it being like, ha, ha, the Rams stink. They're soft. We knew they were the best team. That was a joke. Well, big, big cat as huge St. Louis sports fans on this podcast. We naturally root for the Rams.
Starting point is 00:13:10 Shout out. Stan Cronkey could have happened to a better guy. Stan Cronkey, a class act through and through all time. Great guy. It's, it's nice to see, you know, sometimes in this league, the owners, you know, it's always like a big boogeyman, a guy that only cares about the money winning with Stan Cronkey. It is about the Ramley.
Starting point is 00:13:25 Yeah. And he did it for you guys. I do love when Rams fans are like, you guys never gave us credit. Like I hate to break it to you, but we are biased. Yeah. We are. Million percent. We are not.
Starting point is 00:13:37 My favorite. We don't cover the league fairly. I apologize. We're not going to, we're not going to break down all 32 rosters and be like, here's guy, who's the good players on these team? We're very biased. We root for what we root for. A lot of times it's just our bets.
Starting point is 00:13:52 This time it was Joe Burrow. What do you want us to do? Yeah, I don't think that anybody could, could tell us to do it a different. Why would we root against Joe Burrow? And we would actually be the world's biggest assholes, right? Or if we're like, go Rams, right, beat the fuck out of our friend, Joe. Yeah. Or a kid last week or two weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:14:09 Yeah, exactly. So we're buried by, I'm pretty sure that we've advocated for Matthew Delvedova to get an NBA MVP at some point. So if you listen to the show, thinking that you're going to get smarter, you go, there are a million other choices that you can listen to. Matthew Stafford should come on the show. I guess what aids like a fine line, the rare W take by me, because there's very, very few times I'm actually like say something and you can go three
Starting point is 00:14:33 years down the line and be like, Oh, wow, that actually went well. Matthew's average is going to be a hallfamer. It's almost, it's almost automatic now. Yeah. Cause he has it. He like, he, all the stats are there and then he's got the ring. That's it. Like if you put him now, if you place three, four more years, pick a,
Starting point is 00:14:49 pick a quarterback with one, one Super Bowl, he's going to have a better resume overall. You know how else you can tell if a quarterback, if a quarterback is going to win or if the quarterback is going to go to the hall of fame. It's actually very simple to tell if he's won a Super Bowl, if he's played for 10 years and if his signature moments involve camera shots of their wife in the stands jumping up and down. If their wife becomes like a person that they zoom in on, talk about discuss.
Starting point is 00:15:15 At that point, it's like, this is a hallfamer. Aaron Rodgers hasn't happened to him. I think, I think actually there's a chance Kelly Stafford gets in the hall of fame herself. Sure. Peter King might vote for her, put him on you, Peter, put him all in. Does he like her? No, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:15:28 Yeah, he does. He's horny though. Yeah. Peter King is a very horny man. Extremely. When he's not housing him in and out. What do you guys say? Should we address the dead gorilla in the room?
Starting point is 00:15:36 Yeah, probably. So that's fucked up. Hey, we, we, uh, we alluded to it on Friday's show when we talked to CJ and Evan that I, um, had a shirt that is, it's a terrible shirt. It's shirt for sickos. PFT is wearing it right now. Just to show everyone what not to wear. No, do not buy the shirt.
Starting point is 00:15:53 I'm serious. Scared straight. I'm disgusted with myself for wearing this. Yeah. So it's, it's, uh, Sean McVeigh, uh, standing over dead Harambe, very graphic. Sean McVeigh is wearing the, the backpack. He's the kid in Harambeigh's cage. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:09 So he's the kid with the backpack in, uh, Triggs, our incredible graphic designer. He actually tweeted out the, um, the text exchange that we had, uh, whatever it was. It was like a week or two ago. And I just said to him, can you make a shirt with a little kid standing over a dead Harambe and the kid has Rams gear on, maybe in the enclosure, actually make the kid Sean McVeigh. Yeah. That was it.
Starting point is 00:16:31 We, we played the shirt on the way, on the walk back from the Jackass movie. Yeah. Yeah. Right. It was like, all right, this is going to be hilarious. Let's just fucking, I mean, listen, we were, we were, I felt bad the minute I said it, I was like, no, this is bad, but in honesty, in all honesty, a little peak behind the curtain, uh, I think the, the financial term is over leveraged.
Starting point is 00:16:54 We were over leveraged in Cincinnati on Harambe shirts. So we, and just Cincinnati shirts in general. Yeah. And Cincinnati shirts in general. So we had to diversify our Harambe, uh, funds and make sure we had both dead and alive, or actually they were both dead heaven and hell. No, we're maximizing our assets in Harambe by, by passing them along to other, other things that we're trying to move.
Starting point is 00:17:15 We're just trying to put her on. Let's see how much stuff we can put Harambe and over the course of the next six months. It's a sick shirt. It's so sick. I told her, uh, Alison, who does a great job with our t-shirts is like, do not tweet this from any of the main accounts. Cause like we will get canceled.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Like I can, I can treat it. PFT can treat it. We can be like, part of my take can treat it being like, this is a sick shirt. You're a pervert. If you wear it, I just saw it like in my flash in my head where it's like a hit piece gets written about us. Like Barcelona sports thinks Harambe's death is funny. It's like, well, it, I mean, it is, but whatever.
Starting point is 00:17:46 I was just thinking the famous picture of Harambe, where he's like leaning over to the side, we can make a fire Cincinnati red shirt with that where he's a catcher and he's in like the crouch position and there's a mitten for him. He's got like a backwards reds head on. I'm telling you the, the window right now, it's, it's very small. So we need to really, really maximize and bring every last cent out of this dead gorilla. There's a renaissance.
Starting point is 00:18:08 If they won, it would have been a, it would have been the summer of Harambe all over again. Oh, it would have been incredible. I don't know. I mean, also just Bengals fans. We saw Ron, Ron is in Cincinnati and his tweets about, you know, how the city is acting and reacting to this is very, very sad. It's kind of like when Harambe died.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Yeah. But, but every single bar is packed. Right. Oh, well, it wasn't when Harambe died. Not like this. I give it to you. There was at least one. Yes.
Starting point is 00:18:33 There was a Harambe bar crawl. Yes, for sure. I think we did one, didn't we? Probably. Um, yeah, the Rambe, the Rambe shirt PFT is wearing. It is on sale. Don't buy it unless you're a real sicko. No, just don't buy pervert.
Starting point is 00:18:46 Do not even look at it. You're basically walking around being like, Hey, guys, I'm a sick fuck. Yeah. I'll tell you what, I will donate an amount of money to a guerrilla rescue network to offset a double it. Yeah, you'll double it and I'll match that. Okay. You'll match it.
Starting point is 00:18:59 Okay. So this is actually net positive for the guerrilla community. Perfect. Credit to us. Yes, I have got a couple of dumb questions. Let me do an ad real quick and then let's go dumb questions. This dumb question will be presented by Roman Roman. Go to get Roman.com slash take to get your first month of swipes for just
Starting point is 00:19:17 five dollars when you choose a monthly plan. Most guys have tried different ways to last longer, but thinking about baseball doesn't always work. The folks at Roman and online men's health company are changing the game with Roman swipes, a secret to longer lasting sex. Roman swipes are clinically proven way to last longer in bed. They're effective, easy to use and fast acting, but don't require a prescription. Roman can ship swipes to you and discreet unmarked packages and each swipes

Go to get Roman.com slash take to get your first month of swipes for just five dollars when you choose a monthly plan. That's get Roman.com slash take dumb questions. All right.
Starting point is 00:19:58 Dumb question is Sean McVeigh, the shortest head coach to ever win a Super Bowl. The only one I could think of is maybe Jimmy Johnson. There's a little guy, but I think it's fair to say Sean McVeigh is the smallest head coach to ever win a Super Bowl. I think, I think McVeigh smaller. He might be. He's littler. I don't, I don't know about the exact height smaller.
Starting point is 00:20:20 Yeah. I think Sean McVeigh, we can look at the pictures and triangulate them from when we got to interview him, but I'm pretty sure he's my exact height, which is five nine. What about Vince Lombardi? I feel like Vince Lombardi was a pretty, pretty small guy, but he was thick though. He was thick. He was dumb, thick, real dumb, thick. The trophy is actually modeled after his cock.
Starting point is 00:20:38 That ass didn't quit. Everyone knew Vince Lombardi's ass never quit. And then I had another dumb question that I probably could have looked up myself. Is this the first time that a Joe, a starting quarterback named Joe has ever lost a Super Bowl? Because there are a lot of Joe's that have won over the years. Joe Montana, Joe Flacco, Joe Amith. I have the stat. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:21:01 You got the Joe stat. Yeah. I know Matt. I know Matt's or O and one going into this. Matthew. And I believe, I believe Joe's are four and O, but I'm going to double check. No, they had to have been five and O. No, they had to be six and O.
Starting point is 00:21:13 Six and Joe. Yeah. Joe Montana had one, four, Joe Flacco, one, one, and Joe Amith, one, one. Yeah. I think this is the first Joe lost now. Seven, seven, seven and O. I don't know what the O. I'm finding.
Starting point is 00:21:26 You finding what? The O. Well, who's a seven? Matt's are O and two. Joe's are seven and two. Seven and two. Who are the two losses? I don't.
Starting point is 00:21:34 Can you find them? Sure. It's very important. I mean, that's. I will. Let's just stop the podcast until we can figure out who these. Do another ad. Loser Joe's are.
Starting point is 00:21:43 Okay. The update on the loser stat is going to be brought to you by Helix Sleep. I don't know about you guys, but this is actually 100% true. I was dealing with back problems all last year in the summertime. Had a bad back issue. I switched my mattress out because I'd always been sleeping on a soft mattress. I thought that's what I needed. Turns out that's not the case.
Starting point is 00:22:05 Sometimes the feeling of your mattress will make a big difference on your back. I am feeling a million times better feeling back to my old self. My back feels great and it's because I'm using Helix Sleep. What they can do is they have a quiz for you that takes just two minutes to complete and then they'll match your body type and sleep preferences to the very perfect mattress for you. Why would you buy a mattress made for anyone else with Helix? You're getting a mattress that you know will be perfect for the way that you sleep. And best of all, you can get $200 off.
Starting point is 00:22:34 All your mattress order, take their quiz, get $200 off your mattress order, and you get two free pillows, which are very, very expensive. I remember when I bought my pillows, when I moved up to New York, I was shocked at how expensive they were because I wasn't using pillows before I moved here. helixsleep.com slash take helixsleep.com slash take. They even have a 10 year warranty. Get to try it out for 100 nights risk-free and they'll pick it up for you if you don't love it. Okay. So the Joe's that have won, we forgot Joe Theismans.
Starting point is 00:23:02 So Joe Theismans, one and one. That's right. Yeah. So, um, it was Joe, Joe Namath, four for Joe Montana, Joe Theisman, one, one. And then Joe Flacco. So that's your seven. Okay. That makes sense. Got it. And then your losers are Joe Theisman lost one. And then Minnesota Vikings quarterback in Superbowl four, Joe Cap lost to Superbowl. It's Cap. Yeah. His name became funny. So there's your seven and two on Joe's.
Starting point is 00:23:29 Now, Matt's, what did you say? His own one and two. Now they're one and two. One and they got to be one and two. Yep. Now they're one and two. Who's the other one? Ryan and. Did Matt Hasselbeck?
Starting point is 00:23:43 Yeah. Matt Hasselbeck. There you go. Yeah. Matt Hasselbeck. All right. You didn't know that. The monkey is off the mat. All right. So, so there's your Joe and Matt update that everyone was looking for. Yeah. Aaron Donald is going to sell so many fucking sports drinks of whatever sports drink he's selling. Pat Kavanaugh, shout out.
Starting point is 00:24:02 Yeah. He's an all time guest. He the way that he took over the second half. That's that's why Aaron Donald is Aaron Donald. For everybody that forgets about him from time to time, because he does get double and triple team. He just wrecked everybody's shop. There's no way that you can possibly game plan for him. And the Bengals in the first half had a really good game plan.
Starting point is 00:24:20 It was what we all kind of thought they were going to do. A lot of quick passes. Don't let the pass, you know, like get the ball out fast. They had a couple of run plays that were OK. They ran the ball like there was a few times where they ran for, you know, 10 yards, but overall it wasn't, neither team was really running the ball. But as like, it just was a time thing. It was kind of like the 49ers game where it was like, OK, first half, you did well.
Starting point is 00:24:44 Like you were able to block a little bit. They didn't get home that much. And then the second half, that was the that was where the game flipped. Because the second half starts obviously with the long touchdown for the Bengals and then mass effort throws an immediate pick. Another field goal for the Bengals, right? So they're what was it? It was 20 to 20 to 13.
Starting point is 00:25:02 Yeah, right. The Rams couldn't move the ball. There was that stretch where they just couldn't move the ball. They were trying. McVay, I love sports because we all live so much in the moment. Yeah, profound. We all live so much in the moment. There was a moment there in the third quarter where McVay was getting
Starting point is 00:25:20 trashed and rightfully so, because it was run, run, third and long pass, fuck, we're punting again. And the game could have been like that was where the game could have easily gone south for the Rams. They had I think they had three, three, three and outs, three, three and outs in a row in the second half. Like if the Bengals can convert any of those four points, even a field goal, they win the Super Bowl.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Instead, the Rams were able to answer with their defense, kept them in it and it felt like, like there was somewhere around the late third quarter where you're like, all right, this is essentially just coming down to can the Rams put together one drive? And that's what they did. They put together one drive in the second half that I guess they had a field goal as well, but they put together that long drive to end the game in the fourth quarter where it was like Cooper Cup was making every play.
Starting point is 00:26:15 Matt Stafford, oh my God, another sliding doors moment. If the Rams don't win that game, that pass that he missed in the back of the end zone, bad would have haunted him forever, bad forever. Also, one thing we don't talk about enough when it comes to Matthew Stafford is he's a tough motherfucker. He's really tough. Like he's dealt with a lot of injuries. Oh, yeah. I remember it was his rookie season, maybe in Detroit,
Starting point is 00:26:38 where he like separated his shoulder and the trainers came over to him. It's a Browns. Yeah. He pushed him away and was like, no, get off me, get off. And then he goes out on the field, throws a touchdown. He is tough as fuck. And when his ankle got rolled up tonight, I thought there's no way that he's going to be able to play on that. Yeah, it was bad.
Starting point is 00:26:53 It was one of those things where my foot, your foot, probably we just left. It would come off clean. I should cut my foot off. There would have just been a shoe inside of a foot. Bring the curtain out and shoot me like a horse. Yes, tarp it tarp it up. He's a tough motherfucker and he battled through it and he played well when it counted.
Starting point is 00:27:10 Also, Joe Burrow is a tough motherfucker, too, because I think that there's like a decent chance that he had a torn ACL. Yeah. And that he's playing in the second half of the fucking Super Bowl with a torn ACL and playing pretty decently. And even on that last play where Donald got to him, there was there was a moment when the ball was fluttering through the air where I was like, holy shit, Joe's going to complete this pass. Why was Joe Mixon not in the game there?
Starting point is 00:27:32 Oh, yeah, they put Perrine in. Yeah. No idea. That was that was dumb. And I just feel like you got to have your best players in the in in that moment. Like they'll probably look back. The Super Bowl isn't locked one or lost on one play, but that one. And man, Bengals like having second and one in that situation because even when Joe Burrow gets the ball, when the Bengals get the ball back after the Cooper Cup touchdown is 2320 and there's like a minute and a half left.
Starting point is 00:27:58 They have two, two timeouts. Everyone was like, all right, this is going to be tough because obviously the Rams defense has been incredible. But that first play to Jamar Chase that he rips off like a 25 yard up the sideline on like a seven yard pass. He just gets extra yards. You're like, OK, this is like bare minimum. They're going to have a chance for a long field goal.
Starting point is 00:28:19 And then they get that second and one. And I don't know if it was, I guess it's the right call because you have second and one to try to take a shot deep. But there was no one there. And then third down, they run the ball, which they weren't able to do. They weren't good. Like on those short yardages all season, especially and then especially against a Rams defensive line that was just crushing their offensive line.
Starting point is 00:28:40 And it comes like, man, I think you'll think back to that second one. Like you have second and one. If you get 10 more yards, you have a pretty good chance like Evan McPherson from what we've seen is kicking a 60 yarder and making that. Yeah. Can we just say, I think the Bengals, we can officially declare that they have nothing to hang their heads about. No, I think that their heads are held high right now. I love it when announcers say that like they should hold their heads side.
Starting point is 00:29:04 It's like, you know, they probably feel like shit because they just lost a Super Bowl. But the good news, if you're a Bengals fan is I don't think that the Bengals are a fluke at all. I think that they're a well built team and they're probably going to be pretty good for a while. Hopefully if they can stay healthy, the Rams were just the best team in the NFL. Like you said, they were the best team when they were playing at their best all season. Yep. They were the best team. They had a couple of swooms, a couple of moments where it's like,
Starting point is 00:29:27 are they good on special teams? Can they run the ball? Turns out that they were good enough at everything else where they didn't need to be able to run the ball and they didn't need to be that great at special teams. Here's like, like boiling down the game. The Bengals don't like they were a very worthy adversary. They deserve to be in the Super Bowl. They almost fucking won the Super Bowl.
Starting point is 00:29:47 But think about the fact that the Rams, the Bengals outgained the Rams per play. And also it was 2-0 in turnovers. And the Rams still found a way to win. That's how good the Rams are. Yeah, they're really fucking good teams. And like as a Rams podcast, we're happy for them. Because you know, we've been talking about them all year. Very happy for them.
Starting point is 00:30:07 Didn't we say that at the beginning of the season? Yeah, no, we said put a pin in this team. Rams. This team is built for success. Don't even watch the season Rams. Yeah, I think I said like this team is built like a football team. Should be not like some of these other basketball teams out there. They go out and play football. These guys, these football players, they play football.
Starting point is 00:30:24 They play football and they do it well. We did to our credit, we did say that they lead the league in guys. I heard, I heard nobody else say that. That's true. We've been calling that for weeks now that there are more guys than any other team. As first reported by us, also we want to do a quick couple of first reports. Our very own insider Ben Mintz has reported that Andrew Whitworth is going to retire. Incredible run, probably a Hall of Famer.
Starting point is 00:30:49 I don't know what it will end up being like, because I think he had like three all pros ends though, all time career where he goes last game at LSU national championship last game in the NFL, Super Bowl champion. And he also won Walter Mait, Walter Peyton, man of the year. I would think that he would be a Hall of Famer, but this is also the Tom Brady, big Ben year. Like if I was a player that was thinking about maybe retiring, I was a borderline Hall of Famer.
Starting point is 00:31:14 I would just wait for a little bit. I'd maybe go to training camp next year and then say, not for me. Who gets in the Hall of Fame first, Matthew Stafford, Aaron Rodgers? Probably Matthew Stafford. Matthew Stafford, Matthew Stafford. Because Aaron probably won't be allowed in due to his vaccination status. Yeah, that's true. That's true.
Starting point is 00:31:32 That would have been very funny if Aaron Rodgers had actually not played in the Super Bowl, if the Packers had made it there. You know, that like unfounded report. I think Boomer Seisen said it or something like that. They just kind of made it up. It would have been very funny, though, if he had just been like, no, I'm not going out to that lib hell hole. I'm not doing it. LA fucked that town.
Starting point is 00:31:48 He would have been in Roger's suit. Yeah, well, I'll give Aaron Rodgers some credit. He won his fourth MVP. He wears a loss for like a few months. And I like that's he does get credit for that. He looks awful. Yeah, it affects his face. Yeah, like his eyes.
Starting point is 00:32:08 So body. His hair gets a little greasier. Yeah, his suits get a little browner. He did look like he was like the sleaziest used car salesman. He looked like he should have been in Fargo. What else? So Odell Beckham deserves credit. He got that touchdown.
Starting point is 00:32:24 He was unguardable for the quarter and a half he played. I saw Salty Browns fans trying to spin zone their way out of it. Even that one tweet that was maybe the worst tweet that's ever been tweeted where it was Odell Beckham crying. And it said when you when you don't do anything on the class project, but still getting a he scored a touchdown in the Super Bowl. Yeah, and also was unguardable. Yeah, he was dominant.
Starting point is 00:32:47 He was absolutely dominant. He was on his way to like 150 yards. Yes, he was fucking lights out. He had an injury, a non-contact injury that could happen to anybody. And they're like, yeah, they're just, you know, how sports fans get, though, they'll take any excuse. That's big cat. You would absolutely do that.
Starting point is 00:33:01 Yeah, yeah, of course. Yeah, no, you got to be biased. Rogers threw three touchdowns in the first half of the Super Bowl, and they end up winning by a point. You would definitely be like, did nothing on the class project. Yes, it got hurt. By the way, just a quick update, breaking moves. I can't do it.
Starting point is 00:33:17 Break the news. The dead Hirambe shirts are number one seller right now. So you got a lot of sickos out there. That sucks, because we told everybody not to buy that shirt explicitly. It's got a taxing. It's it's going like hot cakes. There are probably a lot of people buying it that aren't even Rams fans. Yeah, I hope they buy it and burn it.
Starting point is 00:33:39 Yeah, please do that. Yeah, I'll, you know what? I'll double my previous donation for every shirt that's burned. It's gross. It's disgusting. It's gross, and I will not have it. Cooper cop definitely deserved to win the MVP. What was that? I think there's someone behind the screen, the Wizard of Oz.
Starting point is 00:33:56 That blew my mind. What the fuck? The person behind the curtain. We should do we should do who's back in the helmets. That's probably why are we wearing the Hirambe's ghost? Why are we wearing the helmets? Careful, don't go too close to it. We should be wearing the helmets.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Oh, no. Oh, no. These helmets are. Oh, wait, are they fake ones now? All right, so what else we got on the game? Do we have our list of commercials? All right. Yeah, I'm going to FaceTime, Jake. Oh, wait. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:34:31 I was honestly, I'm not going to be like conceded here, but I thought you were going to start the show. Sorry. Hank was right. I mean, we all bet it. It was awesome. It was a giant fuck you to everyone who was tweeting us, being like, bro, did you not know about the ball? You guys are idiots. You know about the ball. I didn't know. Yes.
Starting point is 00:34:48 Oh, no, there's never been a there's never been a bet that has been researched less than what Hank did with this bet, including my helmet is really tight, including Hank turning to me last night and being like, oh, wait, there we go. All right. This was just this was drunk dreaming. He goes was a dream. What if the opening?
Starting point is 00:35:10 What if the opening kicks the ball is really bad and he kicks it to like the 30 and they fair catch it? And I was like, well, that wouldn't be a touchback. Not definitely not touch back. Oh, yeah. There was also a moment where Hank was like, well, wait, what if what if the bang is so I want the bangles to win the toss and then what happened then they'll defer and then the Rams will kick off.
Starting point is 00:35:32 Yeah. But you guys right before the game, I was like, I want the bangles to defer to win the kickoff. And you guys like yelled at me. So then the bangles won the toss and I got mad. And then like, I was like paralyzed with emotions because you guys just yelled at me for being an idiot. And then what I said was right, but I didn't realize it till the bangles were kicking off.
Starting point is 00:35:52 It was so confusing. It worked out, though. Yeah. The bottom line. She had to kick fierce and St. Recurring guest King. That was the other thing. Hank is the smartest person, the smartest football analyst when it comes to kickoffs. Yeah. Forget about, forget about like extra points and field goals.
Starting point is 00:36:07 I'm not talking about that. Strictly kickoffs. Hank is the top. He has the top mind in the industry. Yeah. No one should ever doubt him again. That's a fact. He also said to me drunk on Saturday night, we were out today. And he's like, do you think maybe Evan McPherson listened
Starting point is 00:36:22 and now knows that he's got to warm up the ball? I was like, I don't think he has the option, but Hank was like, I think that this bet is getting enough like talk on the streets. Well, the crazy part is he sort of definitely tried to return that kick, too. Yes. It was like one or two yards deep. Yes. I'm never an electric moment. Never in doubt. Hank deserves all the credit.
Starting point is 00:36:42 That was awesome. Thank you. Thank you for our commercial update. I'm about to FaceTime Jake. He's got his top three commercials. Oh, hell, yes. This helmet is way too small for my head. Put the phone in the morning. So bad.
Starting point is 00:36:55 I would take my helmet off. Hey, Jake, Hank, doing good. Are you driving right now? I am driving back to Boca. This is very unsafe, Jake. I'm not looking at you. All right. Yeah, he's not looking. It's a lookaway interview with Jake Marsh.
Starting point is 00:37:13 Jake, we're hoping to get an update on the commercials because we didn't really watch him that much. So as our sports business reporter, what are the three best commercials during this week's Super Bowl? So for me, the cars dominated this year's broadcasts. One of them, obviously, I have to award it to the Electric Avenue BMW commercial for the program. And the other, I like the Austin Powers one.
Starting point is 00:37:42 It's always great when the original pass comes back together. Jake, you're not going to do it. You're not going to do the other part of the program. You're not going to do the Sopranos one. Yeah, that was our truck. That was our truck. It was a Chevy Silverado. Tony kills Christopher.
Starting point is 00:37:57 They asked us, they were like, hey, what, what should we do? We're like, well, we could spoil Sopranos for you and put it in a truck ad. They're like, why don't we just not spoil it, but we will do the truck ad. That actually really happened. No joke. We rode a Super Bowl commercial.
Starting point is 00:38:10 Did everyone like it? And yeah, and recurring guests within that one, too. That's right. Yeah. The original ending of it was actually they were going to go into the train store and they were going to shoot Bobby Bakala. He loved trains. And then honorable mention, only because of his performance,
Starting point is 00:38:29 Brooks Kepka, only because of his performance, the mountains were blue in that commercial. Oh, I didn't even see that one. What was that a performance for, Jake? Only because of his performance, nothing else about that one. Got it, got it. All right, thank you, Jake.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Love you, Jake. I do think there was, yeah, I think there were some good ads. The awesome powers one, I was more shocked. And we also had the Kingpin ad, which was very good. It was like Jimmy Butler, Serena, Peyton Manning. That was a good ad. The halftime show was incredible. Now, were we, was it incredible?
Starting point is 00:39:06 I feel like there were people who were like this, okay, Zoomers, like 18 year olds, did they think that was incredible? Cause it really was. They basically were like, let's do a halftime show where anyone between the age of like 30 and 45 is gonna be like, this is the greatest halftime show ever. And it worked, cause I was like,
Starting point is 00:39:26 they played every hit from like every portion of our lives. This one was legitimately shocking for me to see people tell me that I'm old for liking this halftime show. Right. It was crazy, but it was also like a wake up moment. It's like, wait, I'm the bad guy now. It was essentially our time to shine.
Starting point is 00:39:44 Millennials finally had our time to shine where it's like, remember when they had the Rolling Stones to the halftime show? And I liked the Rolling Stones, but everyone's like, man, like only people over 50 like this. This is a halftime show where, wouldn't you say Hank? Like 18 year olds were like, what's going on? Yeah, probably.
Starting point is 00:40:00 All those songs were, except Kendrick, were in Mincey, were songs of artists that have been around for like 30 years. Yeah, like 90s and early 2000s. Right, right. It was awesome. I loved every second of it. It was crazy to see 50 cent to hanging upside down.
Starting point is 00:40:18 He's put on, he looks great. Careful, careful. No, no, 50 cent looks great. Careful. He looks great. He'll fucking end you online. I know, he will. And now, kneeing conversations are back
Starting point is 00:40:29 because Eminem took a knee when the NFL explicitly told him not to. Really? Yeah. Hell yeah, Eminem. Yeah, we got Eminem and Jerry Jones taking knees. I think we did it guys. Change.
Starting point is 00:40:40 I think we beat racism. Change has happened. What else we got? What else? What else? The one commercial, I don't know what it was for but I think I liked it. It was just a QR code that was on the screen
Starting point is 00:40:53 for an extended period of time. A lot of crypto ads. Yeah, it might have been a crypto ad. I was just thinking that like putting a QR code on the screen and then just having it go directly to your own personal Venmo, that would be an interesting case to see what the return on investment would be
Starting point is 00:41:08 because it's like $6 million, right? Right. If it was just $6 million of my Venmo, my cash app on the screen, do you think I would make $6 million? No. You think strangers would send me $6 million? No, probably not.
Starting point is 00:41:23 Fine, I just sent them to a porn site then. Because they would be like, is this the guy who's wearing the Harambe shirt? I just sent him to Goatsy. Meat spin. Meat spin, yeah. See how he spins. Now we got to spin.
Starting point is 00:41:35 This is our Zoomer, this is our Zoomer portion of the show. Oh, how can we forget the greatest ad of all time? The ad that we have joked about happening forever, old LeBron talking to young LeBron, literally being like, we're about to go to the league. It was old LeBron, present day LeBron, in high school LeBron's bedroom,
Starting point is 00:41:56 kind of creepy. Which, yup, that's problematic. A statutory rape, brother. So, but it was very funny to like see it actually happen. Or it was like, holy shit, this is every LeBron Instagram caption ever come to life. I just imagined they were like, hey LeBron, we need an idea for what we should do
Starting point is 00:42:15 for the soup bowl commercial. And he's like, well, I've been talking to my younger self for a really long time. You want us to do that? What if I just go sit on my 16 year old self's bed for a while and put my arm around him. It's a little St. James.
Starting point is 00:42:30 That's what I'm going to start calling LeBron from now on. It was baby LeBron. So my who's back in the week was going to be baby LeBron. And this week's who's back, this week's baby Bron of the week award goes to baby Bron. He's the all-time leader and baby Bron of the week awards. It was everything that I wanted
Starting point is 00:42:48 from a LeBron James commercial, just a tribute to LeBron James. Yeah. All right, let's see, what else? Oh, I had a couple more. Oh, there was a great tweet during the halftime show. I want to read this one out loud. I know, if you aren't going to read the one I'm thinking of,
Starting point is 00:43:02 then we have two great tweets. It's got to be the same one. So this is from Charlie Kirk, he said. Oh, no. No. The NFL is now the league of sexual anarchy. This halftime show should not be allowed on television. Sexual anarchy sounds pretty awesome.
Starting point is 00:43:20 Yeah, that sounds sick. But the tweet I saw, which was equally as great, but for a different reason said from Andy Levy said, okay, if Tupac didn't come back for that, I guess it's official. And I think that's probably true. That's fair. We can finally, it's a death certificate can be issued.
Starting point is 00:43:41 He definitely would have been there for that. It was, no, I love that halftime show. I know that probably makes us sound old, but it was awesome. I don't know, maybe this is like me still in self-denial, but I feel like even young kids that are watching, they're like, yeah, I gained a lot of respect for those older guys.
Starting point is 00:43:58 Well, Kendrick saved us. He was the bridge for 16-year-olds watching it. I mean, like, who are these guys? And I also shout out Dr. Dre, who like pretended that he was producing the whole thing. That was awesome. So I think that- He was just like, I don't know what he was doing.
Starting point is 00:44:15 There are a lot of qualms that people had with the Super Bowl being in LA. I get those. The halftime show should be in LA every year. Oh, yes. The halftime show should be in LA. Just cut away and put them in a stadium, have them perform in that stadium, sell tickets.
Starting point is 00:44:27 They'd probably sell just as many tickets in Los Angeles if it was a big time like music event and then cut back. Yeah. And Mayor Garcetti, another picture came out of him holding his breath for a really long time. Looked like he was in an extended conversation with his breath being held. So he had no mask on.
Starting point is 00:44:45 So, yeah, well, I'm sure that'll be a do to do tomorrow. Wait, was it with Magic Johnson again? No, it wasn't. It was just standing there, like having a full conversation, but holding his breath, I'm sure. Yeah, like the opposite of Bill Clinton. I smoked, but I didn't inhale.
Starting point is 00:44:58 He was just, he was inhaling the entire time. Yeah, when he did the, when he did his like report, when he did a press conference about it, and he was just like, yeah, see, I take off my mask, I hold my breath and then I take the picture. It's like, what, what are we, are we still doing this? This is insane. Did you see any of the stuff?
Starting point is 00:45:15 The mayor of Cincinnati, the guy that I talked to and gave a pump up speech, because I knew that Garcetti was going to be a shark. What did he own? So I don't know what the eventual mayor's bet was, but pure of all the guy from Cincinnati was going on the news all week, just fucking roasting Los Angeles.
Starting point is 00:45:30 He was like, you guys are Los Angeles with two S's. Oh. Yeah. He was, he was firing nuclear missiles. I'm sad that we have to wait another year to get mayor's bets. I'm sure they'll, they'll really figure it out by then.
Starting point is 00:45:41 Damn. All right. Other, I had, I just, I was trying to take notes while we were on the live stream. Very hard to do. Yeah. The only thing I wrote was Stafford Point interception. That was funny. That was, that he did point.
Starting point is 00:45:52 Yeah, anytime a quarterback points, they're about to fuck something up real bad. Yeah. And then Bengal's going for it five minutes in the first quarter, put a pin in it. That, that sucked because I actually liked the aggressiveness and the Higgins was wide open. Joe Burrow just missed it.
Starting point is 00:46:08 Like he just missed it. That was, it was as simple as that. Also Aaron Donald was lined up off sides on that. Okay. And it felt right. That's what I put a pin in. Yeah. Cause they did score.
Starting point is 00:46:17 The Rams did score off of that. You think I can jewel through this helmet? Yeah, definitely can. Anything is possible. 10 X. It was a good Super Bowl though. It was a very good Super Bowl. Great Super Bowl week.
Starting point is 00:46:27 Well, any Super Bowl week recap from, from Thursday, Friday, Saturday. I'm tired. Yeah. I don't remember. I went to Gronk's party for a little bit there. I think that there are more Gronkowskis than there used to be.
Starting point is 00:46:38 Yeah. I think that they've multiplied. I, so you went to Gronk's party on Friday night. You saw our good friend coach Vrable after he won coach of the year. Shout out coach Vrable. Shout out coach Vrable. He just bought a horse.
Starting point is 00:46:50 Yeah. Oh yeah. He actually, he told me what he's thinking about for names. Cause he, so he did buy it because of coach of the year. Like that was, I think it was officially like, I won coach of the year. I'm buying myself a horse. I love that.
Starting point is 00:47:03 That's actually a perfect trophy. Every coach that wins coach of the year should just get a horse. Yeah. He said Koi fish, Koi pond or don't be Koi. I think he's got to go with don't be Koi. He's got to think for Koi or coach of the year. No, coach of the year.
Starting point is 00:47:14 Got it. Yeah. It took me a second. I was like, what the fuck, we want to fuck a fish. You got a fish fucking problem? What's going on here? Koi pond isn't bad. What?
Starting point is 00:47:21 I like Koi pond. Koi pond. I like don't be Koi. And then on Friday night, I, don't be Koi is saying don't be coach of the year. Yeah. That's true. I like Koi pond.
Starting point is 00:47:31 Yeah. Koi pond. I was able to share some beers with coach Chip Kelly, who hopefully would be a guest on the podcast at some point. Although when I was very drunk, he was like, he kept on being like, I don't understand your podcast. Like, why do people listen?
Starting point is 00:47:45 And I was like, see, like, if you came on, I would read you my mean tweets to you. And then I started reading some of them and he was like, what? Like one of them was like, Chip Kelly's got shit for brains. And he's like, he's like your 90-year-old grandfather. They got to take away his license.
Starting point is 00:48:02 Like, oh, that's probably a bad one. So that was for the Sam Bradford trade. Was that, did he, did he laugh? No, he didn't laugh. He was like, oh. Who won that trade? He, he did actually. Sam Bradford.
Starting point is 00:48:14 Good question. Sam Bradford did. What, what else from Hank? You had a great. Just a great day. TJ, welcome to Wednesday, Hank. So, almost slept through a 12 o'clock interview. No, no.
Starting point is 00:48:27 See, thankfully my good friend, William football, enlightened me to this fact and I prescribed to it. I did not sleep and I just woke up and fell back asleep. No, no. But you, you were awake. I was awake in the morning. Yeah, yeah. You didn't, you didn't wake up.
Starting point is 00:48:42 You were still awake at eight a.m. went to sleep and then woke up at noon. Yeah. Listen, we bought, you know, we've had that luckily this one wasn't bad. We had everything set up before we had our sound guy and Liam everything was, it was good to go. But I, the interview was at noon. Every day we were waking up at eight a.m.
Starting point is 00:48:59 nine a.m. when I was going out Thursday night. I didn't even factor in my brain for a second that I wasn't going to wake up. Might have went a little too hard. Maybe had a little too many drinks. And then all of a sudden I was getting a phone call at 11 59 from big cat.
Starting point is 00:49:12 And I was like, oh my God. Thankfully the interview was right upstairs. And you know, I was only two minutes late, cough and time, 25 minutes late. Come back player of the year. Come back producer of the year. It's tough. Bubba had a good week.
Starting point is 00:49:23 He was there. Bubba was rock solid showing up, only falling asleep at appropriate times. Yeah. And that's what I love about Bubba is sometimes at like nine o'clock at night, we'll be sitting out by the pool or something. I'll look over and he'll just be sitting there
Starting point is 00:49:36 with a beer in his hand. But his eyes have rolled back. He's asleep while he's sitting up still holding the beer. On Saturday night or last night, we were watching, we went all went out to dinner. And then we like big team dinner. Then we went to watch the UFC pay-per-view and we go to this room to watch UFC pay-per-view
Starting point is 00:49:56 and someone come up to me. They're like, yo, yo, I think Liam's asleep. And I look back and he's just sleeping in his chair. I'm like, yeah, that's fine. Yeah, that's fine. Totally appropriate time to sleep. Like, yeah, it's totally cool. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:07 No, Bubba was, Bubba had a good week. It was right during the main event. He's like, yeah, he's checked out. It's fine. Also Jake, the Jake and Billy news clip. Awesome. All time funny. I haven't seen it.
Starting point is 00:50:17 It's on our Instagram. They got interviewed by the news and Billy basically victim blames people for it. Yeah, he's like, don't wear Rolexes or whatever it was. Cartier, yeah. Don't wear Cartier. It was a good super week though. I'm very, very tired.
Starting point is 00:50:30 I think we all are. One last thing about the commercials. Did you happen to see the Miley Cyrus one? No. It was pretty good. Yeah? Yeah, no, I'm just saying it was good. That was another one of my top three.
Starting point is 00:50:40 That was why you took out your phone and when you were taking a video of the TV. Yeah. And you said, I'm going to save this for later. For much later. I've discovered the hack now. Whenever I tweet about Miley Cyrus, I just limit the replies so that nobody can reply to it.
Starting point is 00:50:54 It's perfect. Shut it all off. Then they start bonking me on my next tweet. And they're like, this is for the Miley Cyrus tweet. Yeah. They figured out a way around it. They've hacked my hacking. That's like, yeah, like when teams don't post
Starting point is 00:51:06 the final score, they figured out a way to do it. Great Super Bowl, great season, great football season. We're going to take a little break, by the way. Just so everyone knows. We'll have a show on Wednesday with TJ Watt. Then we have life episode coming up on Friday with Versillo and Titus, which was awesome. Monday is president's day.
Starting point is 00:51:28 So we're going to take Monday off. Out of respect for Joe Biden. Yep, for Joe Biden. And then Wednesday we'll be back and we have a couple of really good Super Bowl interviews. So we're going to take a quick break. Everyone's going to take a little vacation. I'm going to lock myself in my basement, actually,
Starting point is 00:51:42 in honor of Joe. Yeah, yeah, we have earned it. We've definitely earned the vacation. Yes, I agree, all of us. Good job. All right, let's do who's back of the week and then we'll end the show. You have one last ad, PFT.

Starting point is 00:53:08 Okay, who's back of the week? We'll send everyone on their way. I promise we'll have our voices back on Wednesday when you hear us again, and maybe we'll have some more coherent thoughts about the Super Bowl. I thought we actually did a pretty good job breaking it down.
Starting point is 00:53:23 No, I mean, just the Joe down that we had. The visual was all time. You gotta go to the YouTube to see what you guys look like right now. Yeah, we're in the helmets, we put on the helmets. Yeah, football guys, we love football. I have a few who's backs, if that's all right. Yeah, go off because I got mine.
Starting point is 00:53:36 Yeah, we talked about mine already. Oh, okay, my first one is Hole in Ones. Waste Management Open was this weekend. One of the best, I think, sporting event crowd scenes that I've never been to that look so, so, so much fun. There's two Hole in Ones this weekend. One was a rider, I forget who the other guy was, but, you know, I went to showers, beers,
Starting point is 00:53:56 throw beers, I had to delay and clean them all up. It looks unbelievable every time. Riders throwing beers? No, no, no, riders getting Hole in Ones. No, I was gonna say like riders, riders on top. Riders know better than to throw drinks at people. Right, riders on top. It was the week, riders.
Starting point is 00:54:10 Yeah, riders are back, that's true. I had three different friend groups that were going to the Waste Management Open as a bachelor party. Sit, brag on how many friends you got. Well, I'm sorry, I had three different friends in their own independent groups outside of me. Are you counting cons?
Starting point is 00:54:26 No, was he there? You was on a bachelor party? Wow, you had four. Four, so. Man with all the friends. It's gonna be. Don't hog it all, bro. Yeah, sorry. Not a friend.
Starting point is 00:54:35 Say some. Oh shit, yeah, no, no, no, riders are back. You just said riders are back. Yeah, no, it looked like an awesome time there. It did. I see people being like, this is awesome, I wish more golf was like this. I kind of like the fact that that's the place
Starting point is 00:54:49 where golf gets fucking crazy. Yes, guess what? Next year. I know that we just had, we're just done with Super Bowl week. We're just done with the football season. Super Bowl in Arizona, legalized gambling in Arizona,
Starting point is 00:55:01 bar stool bar in Arizona, waste management, what a weekend that will be. Can't wait. Holy fuck. My other, and who's back this week is Kanye. I don't know if you guys follow him on Instagram. He's been going on, you know,
Starting point is 00:55:15 he does this often where he like posts a bunch and then deletes everything. But he's been going in on Pete Davidson, Kanye West, fighting with Billie Eilish. He like hired a meme guy who's taking memes off the internet and posting those like really. We would never do that.
Starting point is 00:55:28 Really cheesily done memes, but they're very funny. He posted like a picture of just shout out memes, by the way, who just, he was like, you know what? You know what? The Super Bowl needs more Harambe. And he was right.
Starting point is 00:55:40 Our biggest tweet, all of our biggest tweets, Harambe related, you got to go with the numbers. You know, we're an analytics driven podcast. Is there like a secret part of memes that is like privately hoping that another gorilla gets shot soon? Memes in the room right now. No, he's crying now.
Starting point is 00:55:58 Way to go PFT. But look, he just, he posted just like an old picture and he was kind of, you know, a fashion guy and he just can't stand that Pete Davidson dresses like this. He said, look at this dickhead. I wonder if Instagram gonna shut down my page for dissing Hillary Clinton's ex-boyfriend.
Starting point is 00:56:12 And that like, he did like, he did a whole bunch. He was- Wait, what? Pete Davidson slept with Hillary Clinton? No. Yes. Yeah. He's got a tattoo of Hillary Clinton.
Starting point is 00:56:22 When I tag people, I'm just putting together the web. They're a group of people who run media in the election. Thank God for free speech with just a picture of Pete Davidson's and Hillary Clinton tattoo. That'd be so sick if he did actually, if he was like currently piping both Kim Kardashian and Hillary Clinton.
Starting point is 00:56:38 Yeah. The man who has it all. Little something for everyone. Yeah, but there's a bunch of, I mean, some of them are funny. Some of them are a little wild. He's probably gonna delete them all as he does. Yeah, I have to do this live.
Starting point is 00:56:51 I'm just asking people for Super Bowl picks. People weren't in the mood for that. And they all changed their Instagram profile and matched Kanye's, I think. There was one picture I saw that Kanye put up that was a bunch of people out to dinner and Pete Davidson was in the picture and then he just put a red X over Pete Davidson's face.
Starting point is 00:57:08 Like one that he did on his own. Yeah, great school burn book shit. Yeah. I like that. I respect that. It's tough to come back from that honestly when one of the most famous people in the world just puts an X over your face.
Starting point is 00:57:18 X you. Yep. X you out. Is that it? That's it. That's multiple who's backs. Good job. Thanks.
Starting point is 00:57:25 Good job. PFC or who's back? Probably the century. There's gonna be baby Braun. Yeah. But we discussed him already. My who's back of the week is vaping. Everyone's doing it.
Starting point is 00:57:34 It's great. I'm so addicted to it. It's unreal. My plan has not worked so far which was I was just gonna try to vape as much as I could until I got sick of it. Turns out that when you just vape as much as you can, you just wanna even try to vape more than that.
Starting point is 00:57:46 Yeah. So it's a real problem for me at this point. You look sick doing it. Yeah. Do you mean like unhealthy or? Both. I feel unhealthy. Both.
Starting point is 00:57:55 But I do look cool. Yeah. It's kind of like the beauties in the eye of the beholder. Yeah. What level of sick does PFT look? Has anybody else ever vaped through a football helmet? I don't think so. Nope.
Starting point is 00:58:07 Facts. Nope. My who's back, I got two who's back. Guess who I saw on Wednesday. Wednesday, Thursday. Guess who I saw? Thursday. You want me to guess who you saw?
Starting point is 00:58:21 Guess who I saw? Pete Davidson. No. Tupac. No. I saw. George Bush. I saw Sam Hubbard's cousin who invented Roback.
Starting point is 00:58:32 Wow. I did actually. That's the Roback question. Guess who I saw on Thursday? Sam Hubbard's cousin who invented Roback. And he was like, I love you guys. And I was like, we love you. Cause Roback has the best performance Q zips,
Starting point is 00:58:45 the best polos, everything out there, performance hoodies. Roback has it all. You see us wearing it all the time. We love Roback.

Starting point is 00:59:05 Make sure to jump on the new leap dropped performance hoodies, perfect for keeping you warm in the winter. Also just an extended ad read for Roback. I love Super Bowl week because sometimes you go to like these parties is like fancy parties. And you'll be like, you'll see people who are like, I'm going to just be my city. And when I saw Sam Hubbard's cousin, he was Cincinnati.
Starting point is 00:59:26 Like I loved, I loved seeing him because it was like, this guy, he's Cincinnati. And so he was a really good guy. You should support Roback. He loves us. We love him. That's Stooley's who loves Stooley's who love us. We A-W-L's Sam Hubbard.
Starting point is 00:59:39 All of it goes together in a big bomb of cool t-shirts called Roback. Also just great people watching events, the Super Bowl parties. You get TikTok kids. You get the super hot plastic, fake guys with like 60 year old men. You just get all types of people coming to these parties
Starting point is 00:59:59 and it's just very fun to attend. Like I was at- Would you just say? You get what? No, what'd you just say? It's fine. It's all kids and 60 year old men's. Hot girls, fake little plastic, maybe some surgery
Starting point is 01:00:13 with old guys. Got it. So LA. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It was funny. That is funny. Why? What did I say that was wrong?
Starting point is 01:00:21 The first time you said- Love is love. Yeah, it's fine. If there's something you want to tell us. Hot plastic guys. We don't have anything in common to talk about. I saw some of those too. We'll support you.
Starting point is 01:00:30 You don't think the six year old dude and the 18 year old girl were watching Super Bowl halftime and the six year old dude was like, get these wrappers off my screen and the 18 year old girl was like, who are these guys? Yeah. That's common ground. They both hated it for different reasons.
Starting point is 01:00:45 Boomers and zoomers, handshake. Hating the halftime show. This was our halftime show. Our time to shine. And then my other who's back of the week is stupid tweets that try to be sentimental because Adam Schefter's tweet after the Super Bowl makes no sense.
Starting point is 01:01:00 He said to all those who said it couldn't be done. And it's a picture of Eli Mann and Calvin Johnson and Jarvis Landry looking on his Matthew Stafford and OBJ celebrate the Super Bowl. I don't get it. I didn't get it at first. I stared at it for a very long time trying to figure it out. And he had this plan for a long time
Starting point is 01:01:18 because OBJ was not in uniform after the Super Bowl. Right. So this was a Photoshop ready to go, like, hey, honey, I got a fire fucking Photoshop to post if the Rams win. And I- I like to think that Adam does create these himself. I feel like he opens up in Dovey's. And he's like, I'm gonna put Calvin Johnson
Starting point is 01:01:40 because he played with Matt Stafford but put Eli Manning because he played with Odell. Right. And also it works if it was Matt Stafford winning a Super Bowl with the Lions. Right. Or OBJ winning a Super Bowl with the Browns. Then it'd be like to all those who said it couldn't be done.
Starting point is 01:01:54 Yeah, everyone. Yeah. But this one, like, no, they were a really good team. Who was the third one? You said Eli Manning. Jarvis Landry and Calvin Johnson. Yeah, Jarvis Landry, that's a really strange one. I think the other two I kind of get, it's not cool,
Starting point is 01:02:09 but I get why he did it. The Jarvis Landry one, it's like, why is Jarvis, why is Jarvis included in that? He played with Odell for six months. We got, by the way, just a little update. We got people going crazy with the screen grabs in the chat from all throughout the game. Someone holding, I think it was T. Higgins.
Starting point is 01:02:30 Like, we're gonna just, let's not do this. Let's not do the, this game was rigged, this game had the refs decided. I don't think the refs decided this game. I think you get a day of that if you're a diehard Bengals fan. But the longest play, the biggest explosive play of the game was the most blatant face mask ever.
Starting point is 01:02:49 It literally changed that play. Like Jaylen Ramsey was tracking the ball. He grabbed his face mask. In the time that he grabbed his face mask, the ball arrived, he caught it, he scored a touchdown. Right, but that's the beauty of the NFL rig community is you can overlook that as long as you have other stuff that points in different directions.
Starting point is 01:03:07 Yeah, you're probably right, you're right. I fully support the NFL rig community. You need some sort of copium to get you through these next weeks if you're a Bengals fan. That's why I think that we should make our own NFL rig compilation. Yeah, we should, but I'm just saying personally, as someone who's third party here,
Starting point is 01:03:22 I didn't walk away from this game being like the refs decided this game. I did not either. It was frustrating at the end and because it was just back and forth, back and forth, flag, flag, flag. They missed a call though when the Bengals didn't, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:03:34 Like there was, I don't know, it was just, I never thought like, oh man, this game, wow, it got stolen. Right. Yeah, I don't, this was not an NFL stolen game. It's an NFL rig game. Yeah. Memes or Bubba, you guys got any who's backs to end it? No?
Starting point is 01:03:49 Anything else from Super Bowl week? I'm very excited for the TJ Watt interview actually. Yeah, it was very good. I thought that was what, because it was awesome. I almost killed him. I almost killed him. You have to tune in on Wednesday. I literally almost killed him in the show.
Starting point is 01:03:59 That was taped on Friday at noon. Hank was so drunk still. He was there and he doesn't remember. 3 p.m. Eastern talking. And it was a funny interview, because I think the big cat and I were also a little fuzzy from the night before that point. So it's gonna be one of those interviews,
Starting point is 01:04:16 which goes a little off the rails at times, but it was a good one. I'm on like three or four days in a row, where my alarm goes off. I'm in like the deepest possible sleep. And I'm like, where the fuck am I? So I've been having this weird thing happen where I've been waking up in the middle of the night,
Starting point is 01:04:32 still asleep and like thinking that something's wrong with my alarm clock and trying to fix it. And then just getting really frustrated and going back to sleep. It's having like three times in a row. Your actual alarm clock or your phone? Phone. But nothing's wrong with it.
Starting point is 01:04:47 I just get really upset. And I like, I like press a bunch of buttons and I'm like, oh, I'm done. Somehow the worst feature on an iPhone is the alarm clock, which was had to be made like hundreds of years ago, which was like the easiest thing. Literally hundreds of years ago.
Starting point is 01:05:04 Cade man. Like it fucking sucks. Well, I don't know, probably. Dude, we would have gotten to interview Joe Burrow when he was drunk. That would have been awesome. And the shirts, the merch. Well, we have the dead Verambe shirt.
Starting point is 01:05:17 He's represented well. We'll be fine. We'll still sleep on, on a fucking, what, 10,000 thread count sheets? Yeah, it's pretty good. Well, on the Helix mattress. All the deaths of Verambe. An empire built on a dead gorilla.
Starting point is 01:05:32 What if I told you. We are both. We're Boko Harambe. Harambe died so that we could all, we could all go on vacation. I'll go to Uganda. I'll go to Uganda and see some of the lowlands. We'll find a new Harambe.
Starting point is 01:05:51 Yeah. I'll capture him. Yeah. Like King Kong. I miss that guy. He was definitely watched. He probably thinks this game was rigged. Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 01:05:59 He probably thinks I get a fell rigged. All right, let's do numbers. Give me a. 57. Give me a 21. All right. I'm going to go straight to the roulette table after this, by the way,
Starting point is 01:06:11 and I'm going to play whatever number comes up. I'm in. Oh no, I lost all my money. Never mind. Three for memes. Sir, zero at all hundred. We got a new sound guy for this. Sixty nine.
Starting point is 01:06:23 Sixty three. Okay, so 63, three. What was it, Hank? 57. 57. Six. 21. I'll go 56.
Starting point is 01:06:32 End of the season. It's over. 91. 91. What a football season. 91 is not on a roulette wheel. One more. I personally think last week,
Starting point is 01:06:44 the last four shows have been some of our best. I agree. We fucking crushed Super Bowl. We got to pat ourselves on the back, but those were some fire shows. Yeah, let's clap it up for the boys. One last time. I mean, we've done a lot of Superbowls.
Starting point is 01:06:54 We always do well. But I feel like last week was great episodes, great interviews. And three in the bank. Four in the bank. I still come in that are awesome. All right. See everyone on Wednesday.
Starting point is 01:07:04 Love you guys. Oh, man. I'm talking away. I don't know what to say. I'll say it anyway. Today is another day to find you. Shine it away. I'll be coming for your love again.
Starting point is 01:07:25 I'll be coming for your love again. Take on me. Take on me. Take me on. Take on me. I'll be coming for your love again. You take on me. I'll be coming for your love again.
Starting point is 01:07:47 Suddenly, let's say, I'll be coming for your love again. Suddenly, let's wait. Suddenly, let's say, I'll be coming for your love again. I'll be coming for your love again. I'll be coming for your love again. You take on me. Take on me. Take on me.
Starting point is 01:08:18 I'll be coming for your love again. I'll be coming for your love again. I'll be coming for your love again. Take on me. Take on me. Take on me. Take on me. Take on me.
Starting point is 01:08:52 Take me out, take on me I'll take you out, take on me Take on me, take me out Take on me, I'll take you out Take on me, take me out Take on me, take on me Take on me, take me out Take on me, take on me
