Super Bowl LX Preview & Why Punxsutawney Phil is a Fraud · Height Differential

• 0:11
  You ready to do this? Yep.
• 0:14
  Let's do it. This is the height differential.
• 0:20
  That's the six foot six nil. I'm the 410.
• 0:22
  Nick, we are here. I guess it's kind of a Super
• 0:26
  Bowl edition as we'll go in breakdown the Super Bowl, we'll
• 0:30
  go into what we think are some of the best Super Bowls in
• 0:33
  history, talk some commercials, talk our first memories of the
• 0:38
  Super Bowl. We'll go all in on the Super
• 0:40
  Bowl. And then we'll talk some college
• 0:41
  hoops and then we'll we'll get into some Groundhogs Day.
• 0:46
  We we got we got some takes on groundhogs.
• 0:48
  Day we we're just going to skip over the Pro Bowl being on a
• 0:51
  Tuesday. I mean, the half the Bengals are
• 0:55
  now, half the Bengals offense is now in it.
• 0:58
  You got both Bengals quarterbacks, both Bengals star
• 1:01
  wide receivers. That's why we're doing the show
• 1:03
  on Monday night, so we can watch the watch the Pro Bowl, right?
• 1:07
  Maybe we got we got to be front and Center for what?
• 1:09
  A tug of war, flag football or whatever other games they play.
• 1:14
  Well, I'm with you. I'm with you all on Saturday
• 1:16
  night and I'm telling you all the games on Tuesday, it's not
• 1:19
  even on Sunday. Y'all don't even believe me I
• 1:21
  didn't believe. Me making stuff up.
• 1:23
  I you sounded drunk. Well, maybe a little bit, but I
• 1:28
  was accurate in the fact that the game is on Tuesday, the Pro
• 1:31
  Bowl. It's just.
• 1:32
  It's a sham. It's been a sham for a long
• 1:34
  time, but it is Joe Flacco and Joe Burrow get to sit behind
• 1:39
  Chador and I guess when he's done playing they'll see the
• 1:42
  field. Don't they have like quarterback
• 1:45
  competitions, like accuracy competitions and stuff?
• 1:47
  What they do? Yeah, there's a bunch of stuff
• 1:48
  like you know how they got the rotating targets in the
• 1:52
  background, like they'll do that with quarterbacks.
• 1:53
  Joe Burrow better not lose the Shadour Sanders in that they'll
• 1:56
  do. They'll do like the quick hand
• 1:57
  stuff. Yeah, yeah, it is what it is.
• 2:01
  It's a it's a farce when when Shadour's playing, it's an
• 2:05
  absolute farce. When Joe Flacco's playing, it's
• 2:08
  a farce. But congratulations on Joe
• 2:09
  Flacco for making his first Pro Bowl.
• 2:11
  Which is wild, right? It's kind of wild.
• 2:14
  Which is wild, but I guess before we jump in quick
• 2:18
  reminder, if you're watching live or catching this later,
• 2:20
  make sure you subscribe to the height differential wherever you

  We appreciate everybody who watches and listens.
• 2:35
  And for the first time, this is season 1 episode 30 and we are
• 2:41
  live on YouTube. How's it make you feel?
• 2:45
  Technologies. Awesome.
• 2:48
  We are live, so see if that helps us move our subscriber
• 2:53
  account up a little bit. Why does it feel like we've done
• 2:56
  more than 30? Just feels that way.
• 2:57
  I don't we have it, but it just feels that way.
• 2:59
  Well, we've been doing it since since August.
• 3:02
  Yeah. We were doing 22 a week there
• 3:05
  for a little bit. Now we're kind of 11 a week.
• 3:07
  It does seem like we've done a lot, but look, you look it up.
• 3:10
  Most podcasts last three to five episodes.
• 3:14
  We've gone 30. You're you're way beyond that.
• 3:17
  And there's no quitting now. We we got too much.
• 3:20
  We got too much to ride on this thing.
• 3:23
  I guess so. But so I guess we'll start off
• 3:26
  the show this Sunday. It is Super Bowl Sunday and the
• 3:32
  match up that we were all expecting at the beginning of
• 3:34
  the season. The Seahawks and the Patriots,
• 3:40
  everybody's on. I think reasonably so.
• 3:44
  Everybody thinks that the Seahawks are likely to win.
• 3:47
  If the Patriots were to win this game, what do you what do you
• 3:51
  think has to happen? For the Patriots to win, I mean,
• 3:56
  it's going to be, it's going to be because of their defense.
• 3:58
  I mean, can they? You know, we've seen we talked
• 4:01
  about Sam Darnold kind of, you know, choking a little bit in
• 4:06
  some big games and he proved us wrong in the NFC Championship.
• 4:10
  But if the defense of the the Patriots and how good they've
• 4:13
  been all season, they can force some turnovers to have Sam
• 4:16
  Darnold throw some interceptions like he's been prone to do in
• 4:18
  the past, kind of make him revert back to the old Sam
• 4:21
  Darnold, then I think they have a great chance to win.
• 4:24
  But it's going to be it's going to be the defense for the
• 4:26
  Patriots. I think that that gets it done
• 4:28
  for them if they if they do win. I think 100% Sam Darnold has to
• 4:34
  have a couple mistakes, make a couple turnovers for for the
• 4:38
  Patriots to have a chance. And you know, they got to get
• 4:41
  pressure because when he has a clean pocket, he's one of the
• 4:45
  best quarterbacks in the NFL. When he's pressured, he is not
• 4:52
  and and the numbers are there to show it.
• 4:53
  He's third in EPA per pass play when he has a clean pocket.
• 4:57
  When he doesn't have a clean pocket that drops all the way
• 4:59
  down to 28th, which is around Tua and Mike Jones.
• 5:04
  It's the biggest discrepancy in the NFL And the Patriots have
• 5:08
  produced pressure this year. And but the Seahawks are pretty
• 5:13
  good at not allowing it. But like I said, if the Patriots
• 5:17
  can get pressure on Darnold, force him into making some
• 5:20
  mistakes, I think that really it is where the the Patriots are
• 5:25
  are going to have a chance and they the Patriots have to move
• 5:29
  the ball better than they have in the playoffs.
• 5:33
  They have their offense has been pretty much nothing throughout
• 5:41
  the playoffs. And a lot of that it is because
• 5:43
  of Drake May he in the regular season he was 1-2 and the MVP
• 5:49
  rate was one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL and was
• 5:52
  worthy to be in that discussion. But his play in their first 3
• 5:58
  postseason games has have been about as bad as anybody over the
• 6:03
  last 10 years. And so he's going to have to
• 6:08
  figure it out. He's going to have to make some
• 6:10
  plays. I think Drake May is going to
• 6:11
  have to make some plays with his feet too, because the Seahawks
• 6:15
  aren't going to allow, it's going to be hard for the
• 6:16
  Patriots I think, to run between tackles just because they're
• 6:21
  that good defensively against the run game.
• 6:24
  That's kind of what their MO is, so even if Drake May is
• 6:27
  pressured, he's going to have to find ways to to make some plays
• 6:30
  with his legs, which I think that's an underrated aspect of
• 6:33
  his game. I agree.
• 6:36
  No, I agree. You know, we talked you're
• 6:39
  talking about Drake May just not being great and just going back
• 6:43
  to that Houston game when I mean that combined the two teams had
• 6:46
  a bazillion turnovers. But, you know, he had his share
• 6:49
  in that game. And I don't know if you just
• 6:51
  discount his play because of the snow in in Denver and, you know,
• 6:55
  the second-half in Denver and how difficult that that
• 6:58
  situation was. But yeah, he's got to be better.
• 7:00
  And if he's not better against that Seattle defense, it's going
• 7:03
  to be a long day. But I mean, that Seattle's been
• 7:07
  the best team all year in the, to me in the NFL.
• 7:13
  That's why they're favored. And I think that that's probably
• 7:16
  why they probably will come out on top.
• 7:17
  But as I mentioned, it's going to be the Patriots defense.
• 7:20
  The Patriots defense can concern Sam Darnold back in the old Sam
• 7:22
  Darnold. Then they they have a chance,
• 7:25
  but a slim chance. Well, and another thing too,
• 7:28
  like everybody talks about the Seahawks defense, but we've seen
• 7:33
  a blueprint from the Rams to kind of show you that you can
• 7:38
  move the ball against them. It is not impossible.
• 7:41
  But the Patriots don't have the weapons that the Rams have.
• 7:43
  They don't have the the Puka Nakuas on or the the veteran
• 7:46
  Matt Stafford leading the charge.
• 7:48
  On the other side, they've got a second year quarterback and
• 7:52
  Stefan Diggs I guess is their best receiver.
• 7:54
  But I think the the Rams offense is just more high-powered, more
• 7:59
  weapons, and you've got Sean McVay calling the plays on that
• 8:02
  on that side. I don't disagree with that.
• 8:04
  And and you're like the Rams had.
• 8:06
  They moved the ball methodically at times, but they also had some
• 8:09
  explosive plays. I don't think the Patriots have
• 8:13
  a chance to methodically move the ball down the field against
• 8:17
  the Seahawks. They're not going to be able to
• 8:19
  go on 78910 minute drives and have 15 plays.
• 8:24
  I they're going to have to rely on explosives.
• 8:27
  They've they've been they've had a lot of success with explosives
• 8:32
  throughout the regular season. They ranked first an explosive
• 8:35
  pass play rate and they were great with with run explosives
• 8:41
  as well throughout the regular season.
• 8:42
  So they're going to have to get some big gains to really, I
• 8:46
  mean, that's going to be the only way that I think they score
• 8:48
  offensively. If they're able to bust off like
• 8:50
  a a 4050 yard gain, get the scoring range and and punch it
• 8:54
  in for a touchdown because I just don't see them moving it
• 8:57
  methodically like the Rams did. No, I would agree with that,
• 9:00
  yeah. But a stat that I looked up
• 9:05
  before this game that I was unaware of, we, we knew that the
• 9:11
  Patriots open the season with the 20 to 13 loss to the
• 9:14
  Raiders. Yes.
• 9:16
  And the Seahawks also lost on opening week.
• 9:20
  Yeah, they lost 17 to 13 to the Seahawks, both at home.
• 9:23
  No, the Seahawks. Then the Seahawks lost, and the
• 9:26
  Seahawks lose to the Niners. Was the Niners.
• 9:28
  Yeah, did it. What did I say?
• 9:29
  You said the Seahawks lost the Seahawks.
• 9:30
  No, you can't lose it. Yourself.
• 9:32
  I was, I was concerned. I was concerned there.
• 9:34
  Yeah, they lost it in. Niners inter squad scrimmage.
• 9:37
  They Hawks to the Niners. Well I get they might have done
• 9:39
  that too, but they lost to the Niners in week 1.
• 9:41
  This is the first time ever in Super Bowl history that the two
• 9:45
  teams both lost in the opening week of the season.
• 9:49
  The Super Bowl history, Wow, that's interesting.
• 9:50
  That is interesting. The Patriots 17 and three all
• 9:54
  three of their losses are less than 7 less than by less than 7
• 9:57
  points. But the Patriots did benefit
• 9:59
  from the easiest strength to schedule since the 1999 Rams and
• 10:05
  the Seahawks. 16 and three. And their three losses are a
• 10:08
  combined by a combined 9 points lost by 4.
• 10:12
  Like we said in opening week, there were the rest of the way.
• 10:16
  The rest of the way they are 16 and two.
• 10:19
  And those two losses were by a combined five points.
• 10:24
  Yeah, and they they probably played in the best division in
• 10:26
  football. You know, you're going up
• 10:27
  against the the Rams twice and then the third time in the
• 10:30
  playoffs and then you're going up against the Niners, you know,
• 10:34
  multiple times every season. So they're tested.
• 10:36
  I mean, they've played the good teams, they've come out on top
• 10:38
  and and like you said, they're 16 and three or whatever they
• 10:41
  were. So I mean, they're tested,
• 10:44
  they've played the good competition and they've they've
• 10:47
  beat them. And we talked about they need to
• 10:52
  get pressure on Darnold and that's a big part of the
• 10:57
  Patriots game plan to have A to have a chance.
• 11:00
  Conversely, the Patriots have really struggled with protecting
• 11:05
  Drake May in the postseason and and that could play a big role.
• 11:10
  Drake May has been sacked 10 times, which is the second most
• 11:15
  of any quarterback in postseason history This century.
• 11:18
  I guess postseason this century. Do you know the do you know the
• 11:21
  all time leader and sacks in a single postseason this.
• 11:25
  I mean, it does it. It's got to be the the Super
• 11:28
  Bowl Cincinnati Bengals team, is it not?
• 11:31
  Joe Burrow 19 * 19 times in 2020.
• 11:34
  One like I feel like 19 times happened in the Titans game
• 11:36
  alone. It was 9 in that game.
• 11:39
  It felt like more. It felt like more.
• 11:42
  But I I think it kind of just shows you how difficult it is to
• 11:48
  win a Super Bowl when you do struggle to protect your
• 11:52
  quarterback as much as New England is is doing so right
• 11:54
  now. Look how close the Bengals got
• 11:57
  despite all of that. But then what was the very last
• 12:00
  play with the Chase running free down the sideline?
• 12:04
  Yeah, and a fitting way to end that season and in that game.
• 12:10
  They're getting, they're getting there.
• 12:13
  He's getting sacked on like 16% of his drop backs right now,
• 12:16
  which is a big reason why their offense has struggled as much as
• 12:21
  it has in these three games. It's it's really remarkable that
• 12:24
  they're in the Super Bowl with the lack of production that
• 12:27
  their their offense has put together.
• 12:30
  I mean, yeah, they're in the just in the postseason.
• 12:31
  They're averaging, what, 278 yards and only 18 points a game
• 12:35
  in their three games? And look, look, I get it.
• 12:37
  I get it. Like the game, The AFC
• 12:40
  championship game was a little different.
• 12:42
  Yeah. Because of the elements.
• 12:44
  But but like I told you last week, like yeah, it was a lot of
• 12:47
  the elements, but there was also 2 1/2 quarters.
• 12:51
  Yeah, they may. Yep, they could have.
• 12:52
  They could have done the damage early and they didn't.
• 12:55
  Where they, yeah, they had opportunity to move the
• 12:57
  football. I mean, they did play.
• 13:02
  So you talk about the elements and the defenses of the the
• 13:06
  defenses that they faced along the way are probably the top two
• 13:10
  in the league. When you think about the Houston
• 13:12
  Texans and the Denver Broncos, I mean, those are no easy feats to
• 13:16
  go up against those two. So I feel like the quality of
• 13:19
  defense probably has a little bit something to do with why
• 13:22
  they've struggled. But you're facing another really
• 13:24
  quality defense in the in the in the Seattle Seahawks.
• 13:26
  So it's not going to get any easier.
• 13:28
  So they do need to figure something out, But no, it's.
• 13:32
  It's not like you're yeah, you're not dropping off the the
• 13:34
  defense is not dropping off here.
• 13:36
  You. Got to play in The Jets or the
• 13:38
  Bengals but. It's also it's the Patriots.
• 13:42
  And it just seems like they have this magic when they get in the
• 13:45
  postseason and you've got an opportunity to win a Super Bowl.
• 13:48
  You just have to play 48 minutes.
• 13:50
  If they can, if they can turn Sam Darnold into what he was
• 13:54
  last year in the NFC when in the first round when they were in
• 13:57
  one seed and make him turn the ball over, it's it could flip
• 14:01
  really quick. Yeah.
• 14:02
  I mean, I just. Sam Darnold, he has a game this
• 14:05
  year, this season where he's thrown 4 picks in a game like
• 14:07
  it's It can happen. Look, and they don't, I don't
• 14:10
  think they'd beat the Rams if he doesn't play as well as he did.
• 14:13
  Like we no, we can talk about the, the their defense all the
• 14:18
  time and it's a great defense, but they don't beat the Rams if
• 14:21
  not for Sam Darnold. No, I think that was probably
• 14:23
  the best game of his career. 3 touchdowns, no picks and on that
• 14:27
  stage against the team where he struggled this year both times.
• 14:32
  So no, I think that was probably the best he's played.
• 14:35
  So you know that's he's got to have a lot of confidence coming
• 14:37
  into the Super Bowl just based on his last outing.
• 14:40
  So you get a confidence. Sam Darnold, maybe, I don't
• 14:46
  know, maybe he's a little too confident and starts maybe
• 14:48
  trying to throw some balls he shouldn't be throwing.
• 14:51
  I, I think he knows better what it what his role is with with
• 14:54
  that defense. I just, it's got to be the fact
• 14:58
  that he'll make mistakes if they do get pressure on him and he
• 15:01
  starts to get rattled a little bit.
• 15:03
  If he's got a clean pocket, he's going to do what he did against
• 15:05
  the Rams. He's going to pick him apart.
• 15:06
  And I I think this will be look, we talked about it.
• 15:11
  Neither one of these teams have gotten blown out all year.
• 15:14
  So, so how does that vote for this game?
• 15:16
  Even though I think the Seahawks are a better team than the
• 15:18
  Patriots, neither one of these teams have.
• 15:21
  They've visited every game they've played.
• 15:23
  Which what's the? What was the opening line?
• 15:25
  Was it 4 and? A half 4 1/2 in the the the
• 15:30
  overrun is 45 1/2. Yeah, I don't see either team
• 15:33
  winning really by a lot more than that.
• 15:36
  I mean, I think it's going to be a one score game.
• 15:39
  But then don't you just think the Seahawks are better though?
• 15:42
  They, I mean, they are better. Yes, they are better, but you
• 15:46
  can't discount the the defense that the Patriots play, the
• 15:48
  deep, the the Patriots have a really quality defense.
• 15:52
  It's I don't know, I don't, I just, I, I just don't see.
• 15:56
  I mean, I don't like you said, neither team has been has been
• 15:59
  blown out all year. You keep this, you keep counting
• 16:02
  out the Patriots like, oh, you know, like how they keep doing
• 16:05
  this and and is the the magic going to run out?
• 16:08
  But it's just what they do. And Mike Rabel's on that
• 16:12
  sideline. He's a veteran coach.
• 16:13
  He's he's been in in some big games.
• 16:16
  I don't know. I just, I don't think it'll be a
• 16:18
  four and a half. I think is probably about right.
• 16:20
  I don't think it'll be really any more than that.
• 16:22
  I could see this being a field goal game.
• 16:25
  I don't know. What?
• 16:26
  What's so? What you got?
• 16:27
  What's your score? Score prediction.
• 16:31
  We're going to go 2024. I can see it'd be like a 2420.
• 16:40
  OK, I like I was going to go 24 as the winning score, but I'm
• 16:44
  going lower on the other end. I think it 2410. 02 touchdown
• 16:51
  game. Yeah, I, I, I, I would take
• 16:54
  this. I would maybe go 2414, but I do
• 16:56
  think the Seahawks are going to cover.
• 16:58
  And there could be, there could be a special teams touchdown in
• 17:00
  there, you don't know, maybe a well.
• 17:03
  Yeah, I mean and stuff like that just.
• 17:04
  Something crazy could happen, yeah.
• 17:06
  If if they can get a play with from their special teams, if
• 17:09
  their defence can get a pick 6 or a fumble like it just that
• 17:13
  changes everything. But if it's just if both team
• 17:17
  plays the way that they've been playing, I I think the Seahawks
• 17:20
  win by 10 points. OK.
• 17:26
  Are you excited for it? Because we talked about last
• 17:29
  week we ranked our worst quarterback matchups of all
• 17:32
  time. You had there was it was Gannon
• 17:35
  and Brad Johnson at 1, Carrie Collins and Trent Dilfer as as
• 17:41
  as #2 We said maybe this one is third.
• 17:44
  Are are you getting more excited for this game or you still kind
• 17:47
  of feeling the same about it? It's kind of feeling the same
• 17:49
  about it. You know, it's probably one of
• 17:52
  the more least exciting matchups.
• 17:54
  You just don't have, you know, that star power at quarterback
• 17:57
  yet. I mean, Drake may could get
• 17:58
  there at some point. I mean Jackson Smith and jig
• 18:02
  buzz, He's he's a star in this league.
• 18:04
  So I mean he'll be interesting to watch.
• 18:06
  But when this is to me, it's going to be a defensive game,
• 18:10
  defense versus defense. We talked about this last week.
• 18:12
  I'm I'm more on the offensive side of things.
• 18:14
  I like to see more points. You like the defensive slugfest?
• 18:17
  The one O the one nothing baseball type games?
• 18:21
  That's it. I enjoy both they're.
• 18:24
  So you like you like the boring? These are these are two
• 18:26
  defensive teams. You like the boring football, I
• 18:29
  like the exciting football. So this is probably, you're more
• 18:31
  excited probably than I am for this one.
• 18:33
  But, well, we've seen and we've seen the Seahawks and the
• 18:37
  Patriots in the Super Bowl multiple.
• 18:39
  Times my thing, Neil like we've done our top 10s all year yeah
• 18:44
  and we've had the Seahawks one or two the entire year yeah.
• 18:48
  How many times was the Patriots even in our top ten?
• 18:51
  It took a while until towards the end of the season.
• 18:54
  Yeah, and to me, that's why I've got them covered.
• 19:00
  Like I just I think they've benefited from a a weaker
• 19:03
  schedule. I the they haven't moved the
• 19:07
  ball. They figured out ways to win in
• 19:09
  the in the postseason. They've made it to the Super
• 19:11
  Bowl. Give them credit.
• 19:12
  Like I said, they made a lot of moves in the offseason to
• 19:15
  improve that defense. I give them credit for that.
• 19:17
  I just I haven't wasn't a believer in the Broncos or the
• 19:20
  Patriots the whole way. And I'm not changing my mind now
• 19:23
  when it's a team that we've both had one or two the whole yeah,
• 19:28
  so it's fair enough. Seahawks to cover and the under.
• 19:33
  What is the? What was the over under?
• 19:34
  45 1/2. Yeah, I think the under probably
• 19:40
  plays in that one as well. Yeah, I would agree.
• 19:43
  Yeah, and then you can bet on all the the Gatorade colors and
• 19:47
  how long the anthems going to start and all that goofy stuff.
• 19:53
  So we had talked before we got on the 1st Super Bowl that you
• 20:01
  remember. Yeah.
• 20:04
  You were born, what, 86787? Yes.
• 20:09
  What's What is the first Super Bowl you remember?
• 20:11
  Yeah, like I remember the Dallas Cowboys in the 90s, you know,
• 20:17
  with, with Troy Aikman, Emmett Smith, Michael Irvin in in, in
• 20:19
  that group when they dominated the Buffalo Bills.
• 20:22
  That was kind of my first memory of it.
• 20:25
  I just remember Leon Lett of 52 to 17, you know, running back a
• 20:30
  fumble and Don Beebee chasing them down at the the 2 yard line
• 20:33
  and knocking it through the end zone for a touchback.
• 20:35
  But I, I mean, I just remember the dominance of the Cowboys in
• 20:38
  that bills game, the first bills game and then they dominated
• 20:41
  again a second time. You know, so I remember the
• 20:45
  dominance of the Cowboys and IA 100% remember that San Francisco
• 20:48
  San Diego game in 95 when the Niners just absolutely pummeled
• 20:53
  the Chargers. So those those right around
• 20:56
  there that that Dallas team and that San Francisco team, those
• 20:58
  were my earliest memories of the Super Bowl.
• 21:00
  Did you ever watch the the documentary on the Cowboys that
• 21:03
  I told you to watch? I've watched like half of it.
• 21:04
  I still need to. You need to watch it, yeah.
• 21:06
  I do, I have one above it. But yeah, like early 90s, I was
• 21:11
  already a Bengals fan, but they were terrible and the Cowboys
• 21:16
  were fun to watch. I remember cheering on the
• 21:17
  Cowboys in in those Super Bowls. Yeah, when the Bengals weren't
• 21:21
  in it. But my first Super Bowl, I was
• 21:23
  born before you. I was born Christmas Eve of
• 21:26
  1980, the Bengals in the 1989 Super Bowl against the 49ers.
• 21:33
  I remember I was what I had just turned 8 years old, having signs
• 21:38
  and saying Jerry Rice's rice pudding.
• 21:40
  Thought I was cool, creative coming up with that stuff.
• 21:43
  Watched it at grandma and grandpa's house.
• 21:47
  My grandpa was a big reason why I was a Bengals fan and that was
• 21:49
  his last Super Bowl. He passed away the next year so
• 21:54
  but no that that's the first one I remember.
• 21:55
  I remember exactly where watching it.
• 21:57
  I remember like I don't remember all the details of the game.
• 22:00
  I do remember Joe Montana driving down to to win the game
• 22:04
  and throwing the touchdown pass to John Taylor and ripping
• 22:08
  ripping out this 8 year old's heart and the rest of Who Day
• 22:11
  Nation. So is this, is this why you've
• 22:13
  got the 1988 AFC Champions? We're repping.
• 22:17
  We're repping baby. But yes, no, like, how big of a
• 22:22
  nerd are you? You as a 8 year old, writing
• 22:25
  signs for just you and your parents and your grandparents,
• 22:29
  just hanging out in the living room watching the Super Bowl.
• 22:32
  Yeah, you're a pretty big nerd. But you, you're 8 years old,
• 22:35
  you've got a team that's in the Super Bowl.
• 22:37
  You're like, this is awesome. This is how it's going to be.
• 22:41
  Then you never go back until you're 40.
• 22:44
  Yeah. Don't win a playoff game.
• 22:47
  Pretty much. They won a one more playoff game
• 22:49
  after that. They beat the Raiders a couple
• 22:51
  years after that. But yeah, Jay Rice's rice
• 22:55
  pudding clubber will that. So I put together a list of the
• 23:00
  top 10 Super Bowls of all time. OK, I'm just going to give it to
• 23:05
  you and I'm going to get your feedback.
• 23:08
  Do you think that the Bengals 49ers won't crack that top ten
• 23:12
  list? Absolutely.
• 23:14
  I mean, it's, I mean, our, our, our team was on the losing end
• 23:16
  of it. But that game, both games
• 23:19
  against the 49ers were close, came down to to the end.
• 23:23
  So I mean, I, I would think even though it's it's heartbreak City
• 23:27
  for for you in watching that as an 8 year old, but I think you
• 23:31
  got to put it on there as far as quality of game.
• 23:35
  It will make the list, Yeah, it will make the list.
• 23:37
  The the 82 and I do not have it on here and maybe that's because
• 23:43
  I really was one years old for that game.
• 23:47
  Yeah, but. #10 I'm going with the Philly special.
• 23:54
  Nick Foles beats Tom Brady, a backup QB, no punts the entire
• 24:01
  game. Tom Brady against Nick Foles.
• 24:05
  Nobody thinks the Eagles have a chance.
• 24:10
  Just the fact that they were able to win that game with the
• 24:12
  with the backup QB I think makes it make this list.
• 24:15
  Yeah. No, I I can see that being in
• 24:17
  the top ten. Yeah, OK. #9 I'm going Vetteri's
• 24:23
  walk off against the Rams. OK.
• 24:29
  It's the birth of the Brady Belichick dynasty.
• 24:33
  Yeah, put everything in motion. If he doesn't make that kick,
• 24:37
  who knows? I mean, then the Rams have won
• 24:39
  two Super Bowls. Yeah, and maybe they're on a way
• 24:42
  to a dynasty. Patriots win 20 to 7:00.
• 24:45
  I've got 20 to 17. I've got that as #9 OK #8 I had
• 24:50
  a hard time putting this one on here.
• 24:52
  Steelers over the Cardinals, 27 to 23.
• 24:57
  OK. James Harrison had the fumble.
• 25:00
  Yes. Oh, pick six.
• 25:03
  Yeah, at the end of the first halfway, rumble the whole way.
• 25:08
  If he gets hot, they don't score.
• 25:09
  Wasn't it Plaxico burst? That was it was in that game.
• 25:12
  Was it? Was it him?
• 25:14
  When did he get the the feet down?
• 25:15
  We, we, we getting there. We getting there.
• 25:18
  I thought that was the was that when he was that when he was a
• 25:20
  Steeler or a giant? Yes.
• 25:21
  But it wasn't Plaxico. Who was it?
• 25:24
  The Cardinals trail 20 to 7, scored sixteen straight, got a
• 25:28
  safety, took the lead and then with 2 1/2 minutes to go, Ben
• 25:32
  Roethlisberger drove him down the field and hit San Antonio
• 25:36
  with the toe tap with 35 seconds left to give the Steelers the
• 25:40
  Super Bowl win. I've got that ranked at #8 and
• 25:44
  it sucks because I did not want to put the Steelers on the list.
• 25:46
  Yeah, it's tough, but. Yeah, and, and, and then watch
• 25:49
  this number seven Steelers again, and this is the old one,
• 25:55
  Super Bowl 13. We're not going to remember the
• 25:58
  game, but it was Terry Bradshaw throwing for 318 yards, 4
• 26:04
  tutties. The game featured a combined 26
• 26:11
  Hall of Farmers. Wow. 15 for the Steelers, 11 for
• 26:15
  the Cowboys, and the Steelers won 35 to 31.
• 26:20
  Doing my research, there was no way I could leave that one off.
• 26:23
  No, yeah, I would agree with that.
• 26:25
  Number six, Joe Montana finds John Taylor.
• 26:30
  Yeah, there you go. He goes, he goes to the in his
• 26:34
  huddle and he tells the Niners, hey, look, John Candy's in the
• 26:38
  crowd and then proceeds to go 92 yards.
• 26:45
  As far as quarterback moments in the Super Bowl with him hitting
• 26:50
  him. And then he jumps and does this
• 26:52
  and spins. As much as it breaks my heart,
• 26:55
  it probably is one of the most iconic moments in Super Bowl
• 26:59
  history. OK. #5 Scott Norwood wide right
• 27:08
  as the Giants beat the Bills 20 to 19.
• 27:13
  When you think about Super Bowls, you think about kicks.
• 27:15
  This is what you think about. And the poor Bills?
• 27:19
  That was the second of their four straight losses in the
• 27:22
  Super. Bowl rough stretch for the
• 27:24
  Bills. Next, the Giants beat the
• 27:28
  Patriots 17 to 14. David Tyrese helmet Catch the
• 27:35
  ultimate David versus Goliath as the Giants knock off the
• 27:39
  undefeated. Yeah.
• 27:41
  See, I'd have that higher on the list, I think.
• 27:43
  I think I would put that higher on the list.
• 27:46
  Well, that's what you're you're supposed to argue this number 3
• 27:52
  Patriots, Seahawks. Yeah.
• 27:55
  Malcolm Butler's interception at the goal line, they don't give
• 27:58
  it to Marshawn Lynch. Yeah.
• 28:03
  We got that as #3 #2 Kevin Dyson comes up 1 yard short from tying
• 28:13
  the game or potentially going for two as the Rams get their
• 28:18
  Super Bowl. Kurt Warner throws for 414 yards
• 28:20
  and two Teddies and then #1 Patriots over the Falcons.
• 28:28
  The first Super Bowl overtime. They trail 28 to 3.
• 28:33
  Tom Brady's defining legacy game as Once you got to overtime, you
• 28:39
  knew that the Falcons had no chance.
• 28:43
  Yeah, I like your rankings for the most part.
• 28:45
  I think I would switch out. I mean, I would.
• 28:49
  I would probably flip flop the Giant.
• 28:53
  You know what the Giants over the Patriots at #3.
• 28:56
  Yeah. Yeah, I think I would flip flop
• 28:58
  that with the Falcons game. I.
• 28:59
  Had at 4:00. F What was your third?
• 29:02
  Patriots. Seahawks.
• 29:04
  Oh, OK, I would Selena, I would probably I'd put the Patriots,
• 29:10
  Seahawks one probably at 4 the Falcons game at 3, the Dyson
• 29:16
  game. I like that at 2:00.
• 29:18
  But I think the the Giants 2117 back in 2012 over that New
• 29:24
  England Patriots undefeated team.
• 29:27
  They were looking to become the first team since the Dolphins to
• 29:30
  go and defeat it. I mean, they were a juggernaut
• 29:32
  that year with Randy Moss and and Tom Brady leading the charge
• 29:35
  and nobody gave the Giants a chance.
• 29:38
  And, and for the Giants to pull it off with what the catch the
• 29:40
  David Tyree had, I mean, unbelievable.
• 29:43
  I think that that to me, I put that at number one overall.
• 29:46
  I'm surprised by that. Anyone know why?
• 29:48
  Why is that? Mr. Offense over here, Mr.
• 29:52
  Offense. Yeah.
• 29:54
  I hate, I hate defensive battles.
• 29:56
  I hate it. They're the worst.
• 29:58
  Give me this juggernaut of a Patriots defense.
• 30:01
  Well, if we, if we want to go ahead, give me. 14 points.
• 30:04
  Give me 14 points from the Patriots juggernaut offense and
• 30:08
  let me put that at #1. Fine.
• 30:10
  I mean, if you want, we can. We can go the 49ers 55 to 10
• 30:13
  victory over the Broncos in 1990.
• 30:15
  But you're just, I'm just saying the Dallas office and then you
• 30:19
  get my list. So we can put 52 up on the bills
• 30:21
  in 1993, we put that on the list and you want the Niners went up
• 30:24
  49 on the Chargers. We can go that route, but but
• 30:28
  you. Get my list?
• 30:28
  That's the one you change. Yeah, because the only because
• 30:32
  it's in. Struggle between the giants and
• 30:34
  the patriots when the patriots had one of the.
• 30:35
  Best more. It was more.
• 30:37
  History of football. It was more than that, though.
• 30:40
  It was just the fact that the that the Patriots were
• 30:42
  unbeatable and that the Giants somehow, I mean, what were the
• 30:46
  giant? What was the seat?
• 30:47
  What were the Giants in the in the playoffs that year?
• 30:48
  What was their seat? I don't, I don't even remember.
• 30:52
  I don't think they won their division.
• 30:53
  No, like, that team wasn't great.
• 30:55
  They were a mediocre Giants team that got into the playoffs and
• 30:59
  got hot and beat probably. I mean, if if the Patriots win
• 31:03
  that Super Bowl, they're probably the greatest team of
• 31:05
  all time. Probably.
• 31:09
  So yeah. The The Dolphins got to pop
• 31:12
  champagne at the end of the Super Bowl.
• 31:14
  They did, which is the the whole the catch, like everything
• 31:18
  around that game of what you're. Going to pick that over Brady
• 31:23
  coming back from 28 to 3 and winning in overtime.
• 31:25
  Yeah, yeah. You're going to pick that over
• 31:29
  Kevin Dyson stretching out at the 1 yard line and getting
• 31:31
  tackled. Yeah, Yep.
• 31:35
  I could see that over the Malcolm Butler game, I guess I I
• 31:39
  don't think I could move it higher in three.
• 31:44
  I'm putting it at 1:00. That's my that.
• 31:46
  That's to me is the one Obviously David Tyree just
• 31:51
  bubble dumps the ball to his helmet.
• 31:53
  He just stuck the bottles helmet.
• 31:55
  It's a good thing because if he didn't do that it would they
• 31:58
  would scored even less points and then even more.
• 32:03
  Your all time favorite Mr. Defense.
• 32:06
  I don't. It was just amazing.
• 32:10
  Mr. Defense, do you want to talk a little Super Bowl commercials?
• 32:16
  You want to do that at the end or.
• 32:17
  Yeah, we can stay on the Super Bowl.
• 32:19
  We can run through some commercials.
• 32:21
  Well, First off, I just want to say, can we bring back the Bud
• 32:26
  Bowl? You love the beer, the beer
• 32:30
  bottles, playing some football. Then why?
• 32:32
  Why did it ever go away? I don't know.
• 32:35
  Why did it ever go away? For 8:00 straight years from
• 32:39
  1989 to 1997 we hyped up the Bud Bowl all leading up and then
• 32:47
  they actually had the bottles play the games during the Super
• 32:49
  Bowl. As a kid, I'm watching beer
• 32:53
  bottles play football against each other and I thought this
• 32:55
  was the coolest thing ever. Yes, they got replaced by
• 32:59
  puppies. It was legit like they even had
• 33:02
  like beer bottles wearing headsets, like calling the game
• 33:06
  beer bottles in the crowd, like celebrating with touchdowns.
• 33:09
  Yeah, I remember that. I'd actually do remember that,
• 33:11
  yeah. So how did you look at the
• 33:14
  record of Bud versus Bud Light in those eight?
• 33:18
  Years you, you sent it to me. Budweiser, I saw came out on top
• 33:22
  with the most victories. Yeah, they pretty much dominated
• 33:25
  the series and maybe maybe that's why it's over, but like
• 33:28
  just couldn't handle it. But Budweiser won the all time
• 33:31
  series 6 to 2 and 89. They won 27 to 2490.
• 33:37
  They won 36 to 34. And then Bud Light got off the
• 33:40
  snide, won 23 to 21 and then Budweiser won the next two.
• 33:44
  Bud Light won one and then Budweiser won the final two.
• 33:47
  They're all close games. The the biggest margin of
• 33:50
  victory was was three points. So Bud Light.
• 33:54
  You want to go through your rankings of the bud bowls and
• 33:58
  and which bud bowls I'd have to I'd.
• 34:00
  Have to rewatch. I'd have to rewatch.
• 34:03
  Maybe that's something we can do next year, but let's bring it
• 34:07
  back. I'd be fine with it.
• 34:09
  I've watched that over the puppy bowl probably.
• 34:12
  But the Puppy Bowl is not during the game.
• 34:13
  You could watch that leading up. Yeah.
• 34:16
  You watch the Puppy Bowl all day leading up to it, and you watch,
• 34:21
  you know, beans, grab the stuffed rabbit and just run all
• 34:24
  the way down the side. Touchdown Beans, Let's go the
• 34:28
  little Beagle. Oh man, yeah.
• 34:31
  I love the puppy ball. I ain't a lot, OK?
• 34:33
  I mean, I can't sit there and watch it for the whole time, but
• 34:36
  turn off for 10 minutes. Watched it one year maybe.
• 34:38
  This is good stuff. What other?
• 34:41
  What other Super Bowl commercials do you remember?
• 34:44
  I mean dude, Budweiser always has the classics.
• 34:47
  But you we could just do Budweiser commercials and that
• 34:50
  would be a segment. I mean the the genius behind the
• 34:54
  bud, like the the frogs. Everybody remembers the frogs,
• 34:57
  but awesome, awesome. But I mean, the one that stands
• 35:03
  out to in my mind, and I'm pretty pretty sure will probably
• 35:05
  make a lot of people's list, is the.
• 35:07
  Waza, waza. I.
• 35:12
  Mean people did that for years after it.
• 35:15
  It's unbelievable. Like, hold on Jimmy's calling.
• 35:19
  Waza. How many people did that like in
• 35:23
  their everyday life for the next two or three?
• 35:25
  Years. Oh yeah.
• 35:26
  Oh yeah, I mean. Especially like two or three
• 35:29
  weeks after that, yes, you get a call from your buddy.
• 35:32
  What's that? It's so good.
• 35:36
  It's so good. I mean, to me that's that's
• 35:37
  that's an all time classic, probably in the top one or two
• 35:41
  or three of all time. And then you have to sleep.
• 35:44
  The frogs, you got the was up and then you just have the
• 35:46
  classic, the Clydesdales. You get the Clydesdales out
• 35:49
  there playing some football. You know, the Budweiser
• 35:51
  Clydesdales, always a classic, always a Super Bowl favorite.
• 35:55
  So Budweiser, probably the king of beers.
• 35:57
  They're probably the king of Super Bowl commercials.
• 36:00
  We there's one other Budweiser commercial that I remember that
• 36:05
  where he was getting ready to give dude fist bump.
• 36:07
  Yeah. And then he's like, Nope.
• 36:09
  And then they they're doing slaps.
• 36:12
  Do you remember that one? I don't it's not coming to mind.
• 36:16
  So like, we're not, we're not doing fist bumps.
• 36:17
  We just slap each other. So then they just walk around
• 36:20
  just slapping everybody. And at the end of it, like the
• 36:23
  boss tells the guy that he did a great job and he just slaps the
• 36:26
  hell out of me. OK, that's a good, that's a
• 36:29
  good. OK, I can get back.
• 36:31
  The Betty White Snickers commercial.
• 36:33
  Yeah, yeah. Where she just gets trucked.
• 36:36
  Trucked. Yeah.
• 36:39
  That was a great one. I feel like I know what your top
• 36:41
  one will be. That's that's your one of your
• 36:43
  favorite athletes of all time in it.
• 36:45
  What? The Michael Jordan, Larry Bird,
• 36:47
  McDonald's commercial where they're playing a horse across
• 36:50
  basically the world off of buildings, off of whatever
• 36:54
  they're throwing it off of in the nothing but net.
• 36:56
  Did that premiere during the Super Bowl?
• 36:58
  Yes. OK.
• 36:59
  Yeah, that's one of the greatest commercials. 1990 ever made?
• 37:03
  It's a 1993 Super Bowl commercial.
• 37:05
  One of the greatest commercials ever made.
• 37:07
  McDonald's. Do you remember Terry Tate, the
• 37:10
  office linebacker? What year was that?
• 37:14
  I don't know the year, but he was just in the office just
• 37:17
  yelling at everybody and tackle them.
• 37:19
  It was. It's a good commercial that was
• 37:22
  for Reebok. OK.
• 37:24
  So it had to be, it had to be early 90s, late 80s.
• 37:28
  I mean, Doritos has always had a couple good ones in there.
• 37:33
  And then Wendy's, 1984 Wendy's had the where's the beef with
• 37:37
  the old people looking at the cheese, looking at the burgers
• 37:41
  and being where's the beef? I don't remember that one.
• 37:45
  You don't remember? Where's the beef?
• 37:46
  I don't remember that one. Where's the?
• 37:48
  Beef. I mean, I wasn't even born yet,
• 37:49
  but I remember like that being played, you know, almost every
• 37:52
  Super Bowl because of how good that commercial was.
• 37:56
  Where's the beef? I.
• 37:57
  Don't remember Where's the beef? Go back to watch that one, you
• 38:00
  will crack up. It's old people.
• 38:03
  Yeah, So we'll see what the what the best commercials are this
• 38:06
  this this year. I don't think they're bringing
• 38:10
  back the Bud Bowl because there hasn't been any commercials
• 38:13
  promoting it, but. Yeah.
• 38:24
  But I'm trying to get more excited for the Super Bowl.
• 38:28
  I mean, it's the Super Bowl. I mean, I'm I'm I'm going to
• 38:30
  watch, I'm going to tune in. You know, I hope it's a good
• 38:32
  game. You know, a lot of little bit of
• 38:36
  controversy going on with the halftime show.
• 38:38
  To me, I don't care. I just don't really know any Bad
• 38:41
  Bunny songs. So I don't, I mean, I don't what
• 38:44
  was. The controversy.
• 38:46
  What? What's There's a controversy?
• 38:48
  I mean, people are talking about it and they, they, they, they,
• 38:52
  does he sing in English? And it's what, what people are
• 38:55
  saying like they, they, they can't watch it because they
• 38:56
  don't understand. Hey, they don't know.
• 38:58
  He's not people who don't know him well enough.
• 39:01
  And then apparently I guess he sings a lot of his songs in
• 39:04
  Spanish. Yeah, I, I, I think he's
• 39:06
  worldwide the second most popular artist in the world next
• 39:10
  to Taylor Swift. Do you know a bad boy?
• 39:12
  Can you name me a bad? Boy, I do not.
• 39:14
  I do. Not I do not OK.
• 39:17
  And. That's where the controversy
• 39:18
  comes in, is he is probably, maybe, I don't know, like in the
• 39:22
  world. I think his songs are probably
• 39:24
  in Spanish. But I just don't I, I don't
• 39:28
  think that I would be able to enjoy it because I don't know
• 39:30
  the songs and I don't know Spanish.
• 39:32
  I'm. Definitely enjoyed last year's
• 39:36
  war. Yeah, yeah.
• 39:38
  And I we we talked about this before we got on and I think
• 39:41
  both of our favorites with Super Bowl halftimes was when our
• 39:45
  Bengals played and it was not even close. 50 and Dre and
• 39:47
  Eminem and it's not even close. I mean, that's that was a
• 39:51
  fantastic show. It was so good that our own
• 39:53
  kicker didn't even leave the sideline.
• 39:55
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 39:56
  Stayed out and watched the halftime show, Yes.
• 39:59
  But no, to me, that one will never be topped.
• 40:03
  I mean, I, I kind of remembered Michael Jackson in 93.
• 40:07
  I was little, but Michael Jackson performing at halftime
• 40:10
  is is iconic. You said what Prince?
• 40:13
  What year was that? Yeah, Prince was O seven.
• 40:16
  He had a great, great halftime. So I do remember that one.
• 40:19
  And we had the controversy with the Janet Jackson and and Justin
• 40:26
  Timberlake, the Timberlake, Yeah, the Timberlake one.
• 40:30
  Everybody talks about that, that that will never be forgotten for
• 40:32
  for sad reason. But yeah, I don't know.
• 40:37
  Lady Gaga recently, I remember her.
• 40:39
  She had a good performance. And that was back in 2017.
• 40:42
  Yeah, I don't know. But to me, I really don't care
• 40:46
  that much about the halftime shows unless it's Eminem and
• 40:52
  Doctor. Dre, I thought Kendrick put on a
• 40:53
  good one last year. Kendrick I did.
• 40:55
  I did enjoy that one, Yeah, but for the most part, like I don't.
• 41:00
  I don't know it's the time to get up and reload on food and.
• 41:03
  Beverages. Yeah, gets gets gets you a beer.
• 41:05
  Yeah, get you a beer. But you know, I did, I did like
• 41:08
  last year's. But do you want to talk a little
• 41:13
  bit Hoops? Yeah, he's awesome.
• 41:14
  Hoops. We're in the thick of things
• 41:15
  here in college basketball. One of the biggest upset of the
• 41:19
  weekend was Texas Tech going down to to UCF.
• 41:25
  UCF is surprisingly had having a pretty good year with Johnny
• 41:28
  Dawkins was kind of on the hot seat entering the season, But
• 41:33
  they've they've beat, they've beat Texas Tech the last couple
• 41:38
  times. They also beat Kansas earlier
• 41:40
  this year. I mean, yeah, they're, they're
• 41:42
  sitting there at 17 and four overall, six and three in the
• 41:44
  conference. I mean, yeah, they're, they're
• 41:46
  putting together quite a good season.
• 41:48
  At the they had to. They got to rush to court twice.
• 41:54
  They rushed the court. The referees put .2 back on the
• 41:57
  clock when even though they're up like 88 points. 8.
• 42:01
  And then they rushed the the floor again.
• 42:04
  Oh. Twice.
• 42:06
  Double the fun, I guess. Double the pleasure, double the
• 42:08
  fun. But John famous folks at 21 and
• 42:12
  7 assists and John Bowl had had a career high 14 in the wind and
• 42:18
  you see us. Like I said, Johnny Dawkins was
• 42:21
  kind of on the hot seat, but looks like they're in really
• 42:23
  good shape, especially that went on Saturday to make the big
• 42:26
  dance. Yeah, no, they're, they're on
• 42:29
  track. They do get they get #10 Houston
• 42:32
  on Wednesday. So they'd really be in if they
• 42:35
  can figure out a way to to win that one at Houston.
• 42:40
  The game that I was excited about was #14 Kansas hosting #13
• 42:46
  BYU. This is a game which featured
• 42:51
  what is expected to be the number one overall draft pick
• 42:54
  and Darren Peterson and the number two pick and AJ Devonza.
• 42:59
  Peterson had a fantastic first half as the The Jayhawks went
• 43:04
  out went up by by 20 points. Peterson had 18 points in the
• 43:09
  first half, but then. He finished with 18.
• 43:13
  He finished with 18 because he did not play in the second-half.
• 43:18
  Battling what they said was cramps they it's.
• 43:23
  Kind of been his thing all year, like he he plays and then he
• 43:28
  gets taken out or he takes himself out or whatever happens
• 43:31
  and he just doesn't play a lot down the stretch.
• 43:33
  Kelly I. I don't, I don't know.
• 43:36
  Here's we we watched that game and what's going on?
• 43:40
  Like what's this injury? Normally when a guy's got a
• 43:43
  cramp, which is what he said was going on, stretch it out, you
• 43:47
  see a trainer. With them trying to stretch.
• 43:50
  It out you see him get some Gatorade banana you.
• 43:53
  See him chugging water. Get Gatorade.
• 43:55
  Yeah, yeah, I didn't. See any of that on Saturday?
• 43:59
  I saw I saw a guy who looked like he was not even dressed.
• 44:05
  And something else going on? I don't know.
• 44:07
  Yeah, I don't know. I don't.
• 44:08
  It's just it's, it's been odd. All year and it has been odd.
• 44:13
  I would agree with that. And you watch.
• 44:14
  That first half and. If the first pick is between
• 44:17
  Peterson and Demonsa after watching that first half, it's a
• 44:20
  no brainer. Yeah, he completely outplayed.
• 44:24
  AJ. Demonsa yeah, but at what point
• 44:26
  do these injuries play a role in the fact that I don't want to
• 44:32
  draft his due to number 1. He he showed out, put up 18,
• 44:36
  watch his team go up 20 and then he's sitting on the bench
• 44:39
  watching of the league get down to four and.
• 44:43
  He's just sitting there. Like.
• 44:46
  I don't look, I don't play D. One, I would love to been able
• 44:49
  to play any level of basketball, but if I'm hurt and I think
• 44:53
  there's anything I can do to help the team, I'm going to try
• 44:55
  to do whatever I can to do that. Yeah.
• 44:58
  And I don't know if. You're getting that.
• 45:00
  From him right now. And that matters to me as far as
• 45:02
  a draft pick, Yeah. Like, yeah, I mean, unless
• 45:06
  there's some. Part of the story that we don't
• 45:07
  know and the injury is more serious than just a cramp.
• 45:10
  I, yeah, I, I don't know. Yeah.
• 45:14
  The every. It's been odd.
• 45:15
  It's it's been. Odd.
• 45:16
  That's for. Sure, he's played in less than
• 45:19
  half of their games this year. And his numbers comparably,
• 45:23
  minutes wise and points wise in the second-half are like a
• 45:27
  roller coaster. It's gone straight down.
• 45:31
  Yeah. I don't know.
• 45:36
  Yeah, it's a mystery to. Me but Bryson Tiller, Ken
• 45:39
  Griffey. Junior, a freshman, had a really
• 45:43
  kind of a breakout game for The Jayhawks.
• 45:46
  Richie Saunders for BYU, 33 points for Saunders.
• 45:50
  Was basically shot. Shot the Cougars back into the
• 45:54
  game. He also had 10 rebounds and like
• 45:59
  I said, they they got this down to 4 and two games in a.
• 46:03
  Row where they've just. Been getting their.
• 46:04
  Tails kicked and they finally wake up and bring it all the way
• 46:08
  back. I mean, they just did it Monday
• 46:09
  night against Arizona at home when they were down big and came
• 46:13
  back and ended up tying that game in the second-half.
• 46:15
  That one was a little more fluky, because it was.
• 46:18
  All within like the last minute and a half.
• 46:20
  Yeah, this one was a little more gradual, but no I, I but they
• 46:24
  BYU got to figure out a way to win these games.
• 46:27
  I think they're a really good team and I think they will
• 46:29
  compete to get to a Sweet 16 Elite 8.
• 46:31
  I don't know if they're a final 14, but they really don't have
• 46:35
  that signature win yet. And they had two opportunities
• 46:38
  to get it last week and and we're not able to do it.
• 46:43
  And the bots did not have have his best game, but Richie
• 46:49
  Saunders, he put himself I I think he already was in the
• 46:54
  conversation. But there could be a chance that
• 46:57
  BYU gets to all Americans because that dude, that dude can
• 47:00
  ball. Yes, Kentucky, after getting
• 47:04
  completely waxed at Vanderbilt. On Tuesday night.
• 47:11
  They. Go to Arkansas.
• 47:14
  And win by explain the Wildcats. You can't.
• 47:18
  I was just to say this is a team that you just can't.
• 47:20
  Figure out, you know, like they one game they look.
• 47:24
  Bad and then. The next game they come back and
• 47:27
  nobody's giving them a chance and and they win just like, you
• 47:30
  know, when they lose to Missouri at home and then all of a sudden
• 47:33
  they they reel off five straight wins and including the win at at
• 47:36
  Tennessee, I guess the ranked Tennessee team.
• 47:38
  And then you could, like you said, you go on the road and you
• 47:40
  get absolutely destroyed by by Vanderbilt.
• 47:44
  Then you got to go on the road again a couple days later to
• 47:46
  Arkansas. Real tough place to play against
• 47:48
  the really good Arkansas team. And you LED almost start to
• 47:52
  finish. I mean, it took what, 4
• 47:54
  technicals for Arkansas to get back in the game and then you
• 47:58
  still were able to hold them off.
• 48:00
  Well, for once they actually built a lead.
• 48:02
  To start the game, they didn't start the game down 1553 points
• 48:06
  which which? That helped their.
• 48:07
  Calls. But Calipari talked after the
• 48:10
  game, and I think there's a lot of truth in this.
• 48:14
  We saw this game last. Year where it was kind of the.
• 48:16
  Opposite. It was the opposite Arkansas.
• 48:19
  Was a desperate team. Going into Rupp, Kentucky was
• 48:22
  playing pretty well at that moment and Arkansas just kind of
• 48:25
  put it on them and this was the opposite.
• 48:28
  Ortega Ortega OA was had a season high 24 to lead the Cats,
• 48:34
  but the big thing was they didn't get in the deficit.
• 48:37
  They, they got a lead early and then when they go on a little
• 48:41
  drought, you know, they're able to sustain it and, and figure
• 48:44
  out a way to to win. But a big win for the cats.
• 48:48
  I mean, like the fact that they had that performance against
• 48:53
  Vanderbilt and that performance against Arkansas, just what,
• 48:57
  four days apart? I I don't even know how.
• 49:00
  It makes sense. It doesn't.
• 49:02
  It doesn't. I mean, they played.
• 49:03
  They played well. I mean, it was a very well
• 49:05
  balanced game by the Cats. Who said, oh, we had 24, but
• 49:10
  like 4 of the five starters were in double figures.
• 49:12
  Noah, Trent, Noah off the bench had 9.
• 49:14
  And was it Jello Jellovich or something?
• 49:18
  Yeah, he had seven. I mean, he was the only starter
• 49:20
  there wasn't in double figures. But he only played 13 minutes
• 49:23
  and had seven points. So everybody that played scored.
• 49:26
  So it was well balanced, Balanced game from the Cats.
• 49:28
  OA, who is what the preseason SEC player of the year struggled
• 49:33
  in the beginning the season. He's now come on to to look like
• 49:36
  the guy that they expected him to look like the whole season.
• 49:40
  So I don't know, it's hard to figure out when you look so bad
• 49:43
  one game and you just bounce back and and and get that kind
• 49:46
  of effort and and get the win. You know, on the road at ARC,
• 49:49
  like it's I'll be, I'll be honest if I can't.
• 49:52
  Figure them out. I'm coaching that.
• 49:53
  Team yeah, I'm going to be glad that.
• 49:55
  We came to play at Arkansas, but it's going to piss me off even
• 49:57
  more about like, because you know the potential, because you
• 50:00
  know. Yeah, because you know, the
• 50:01
  potential of your team that they can, they're capable of having
• 50:04
  these kind of games, putting up 85 points and winning against
• 50:07
  quality competition. So it's like you, you come to
• 50:09
  expect that game in and game out.
• 50:12
  So, I mean, who do they have next?
• 50:13
  Let's see, they've got Oklahoma at home on on Wednesday.
• 50:19
  Yeah. So it's like you.
• 50:20
  You Oklahoma's 11. And 11, this is a team that in
• 50:23
  Rupp Arena handle your business. So let's see if they come out
• 50:27
  and and handle their business like they're supposed to and the
• 50:30
  cards after. Getting beat by 30.
• 50:32
  At Duke, kind of struggled in the first half, but we'll pull
• 50:35
  it away there in the second-half against against Smoo, really,
• 50:41
  Michael Brown came off the bench for the first time, led the way
• 50:44
  with 20 points. Yeah, they they go off to a slow
• 50:46
  start, a lot of turnovers. Early, they did not shoot the
• 50:49
  ball well. I mean, they ended up 10 of 35
• 50:52
  from three, but at one point they were 5 of 25.
• 50:55
  I mean, they will did not shoot the ball well down the stretch.
• 50:58
  The second-half they kind of did.
• 50:59
  Mcneely got hot. He ended up popping in four
• 51:02
  threes for the game. But you know, once they they got
• 51:06
  it together, they stopped turning the ball over in the
• 51:08
  first half And they they put together a really, really,
• 51:09
  really nice second-half. And if they play like they did
• 51:13
  in the second-half, you know, they're they're going to be
• 51:16
  tough to beat, but in the first half you're going to have some
• 51:19
  problems. So.
• 51:20
  Well, yeah, I I think if they shoot 20. 9% from three.
• 51:23
  I mean, if they're playing a a really good team, they're going
• 51:26
  to have a hard time winning. They're going to shoot a little
• 51:28
  better than that. Yeah.
• 51:30
  Can I Roose coming back from the first time and.
• 51:33
  Several weeks off of off of his illness with a double double.
• 51:36
  I mean, he was he was the key to to getting us back in it.
• 51:40
  You know, he was the energy guy with the first half.
• 51:42
  He had that put back dunk when we were we were down and trying
• 51:45
  to mount a little bit of a comeback and he has that put
• 51:47
  back dunk gets the gets the energy flowing, gets the crowd
• 51:49
  on their feet. He had several key key plays,
• 51:52
  got a bunch of big rebounds, couple couple good baskets.
• 51:56
  So, you know, having roots back and having the team at full
• 51:59
  strength now with Brown playing and, you know, we'll see what
• 52:03
  they can do now that everybody's here and everybody's healthy.
• 52:06
  No, I I think can I is. A big he's going to be a big
• 52:10
  reason why this team has success.
• 52:12
  Yeah. And he he you just saw how much
• 52:16
  you missed him over the last several weeks, and it's good for
• 52:20
  him to be back in the lineup. Boopy Miller, dude, I was
• 52:23
  impressed with him. I mean Duke, Duke.
• 52:26
  Duke can play he. He showed what he can do last
• 52:28
  year. I mean he.
• 52:29
  He had a great season last year. Not for SMU and coming into this
• 52:33
  year, you know, he was he was one of the the best guards in
• 52:35
  the conference. And yeah, I mean that dude, he
• 52:38
  can fly out, score. He's just a flat out scorer.
• 52:40
  And I mean, they they've got a good team.
• 52:42
  That's some use of a tournament team right now.
• 52:45
  If the season ended, I think they would be in.
• 52:47
  They've got the seven foot 2. You get Turkaloo or whatever.
• 52:52
  I don't know how you pronounce that last name, but I mean, that
• 52:54
  dude is a skilled 7 foot two big man.
• 52:56
  I mean, he shot seven of eight, but there was no stopping him.
• 52:59
  I mean, he was a force. He's a big, big monster in
• 53:02
  there. They can put the ball in the
• 53:04
  basket. And I mean that they're a good
• 53:06
  team. I mean, I I expect them to to
• 53:08
  keep rolling and they're 15 and 6 on the year, but I think
• 53:11
  they'll be right in the mix at the end of it.
• 53:13
  And we know how much smooth is investing.
• 53:15
  In their athletic programs too. So but Nebraska came into the
• 53:22
  week undefeated, loses by two with the there without their
• 53:27
  second and third leading scorer. Both Frager and Mass were out in
• 53:31
  that game. They returned against Illinois
• 53:33
  on Sunday, really the only really good men's game.
• 53:36
  The the Sunday slate was full of really good women's games, but
• 53:40
  this was really the only stand out men's game.
• 53:43
  But we had a Florida Alabama game yesterday.
• 53:46
  Yeah. You're right, you're right.
• 53:48
  But Illinois, dude, they're good Waggler.
• 53:52
  Yeah, well. How about that 20?
• 53:53
  Eight points, 5 rebounds. 5 assists.
• 53:58
  We talked about him before, like coming in the season is like the
• 54:01
  250 something to recruit. This dude's looking like a
• 54:04
  lottery pick now. And they've got.
• 54:09
  They've got a bunch of foreign guys around him that can play,
• 54:12
  too. This Illinois team is now tied
• 54:14
  with Michigan for the top of the Big 10 with the with the 10 and
• 54:17
  one record. And they're impressive because I
• 54:21
  thought I thought Nebraska once again played pretty well.
• 54:24
  I thought they played even though they were down a couple
• 54:27
  guys. I thought they played better
• 54:28
  against Michigan, but it's still wasn't like they played a
• 54:31
  terrible game on Sunday and just weren't able to to beat the
• 54:35
  Alana. No, in Illinois.
• 54:36
  I mean, Illinois, what do they? Have one conference loss and I
• 54:39
  think it was to Nebraska at home.
• 54:40
  So little, little bit of a revenge game for them getting
• 54:44
  that victory in Lincoln. So now Illinois is playing great
• 54:48
  ball. Like you said, Waggler's
• 54:49
  absolutely playing on another level right now.
• 54:52
  Just another freshman just takes over games.
• 54:56
  And so. But yeah, no, they, they look
• 54:59
  good. They look like they they could
• 55:02
  be a Final Four team. Both these teams could be Final
• 55:05
  Four teams. So yeah, Arizona remains
• 55:08
  undefeated. They beat Arizona State and I
• 55:12
  think this is the countdown to the end of Bobby Hurley's tenure
• 55:15
  there. Michigan beats Michigan State on
• 55:19
  on Friday. That was a good game.
• 55:20
  We watched that big dog's house. So.
• 55:27
  Miami, Ohio, We got to mention them.
• 55:29
  Because they remain the other undefeated team with a we talked
• 55:33
  about their close win over UMass early week, but they they really
• 55:36
  after it was close early, but they ended up pulling away 1 by
• 55:39
  24 against against Northern Illinois.
• 55:45
  And and right now we got Kansas at Texas Tech, which is is the
• 55:51
  big, big Monday game. So yeah, 3 point game, almost a
• 55:55
  halftime. 3 point game came. This looks like they're on top
• 55:58
  but. We have entered February, which
• 56:02
  means we are one month away from March Madness and we We can't
• 56:08
  quit talking basketball without giving Jeff Walls and his.
• 56:13
  Louisville Cardinals a. Shout out Yeah went out West,
• 56:19
  got wins over Stanford and Cal which I know they're both middle
• 56:22
  of the pack ACC teams, but anytime you go out West and
• 56:26
  you're there from Tuesday to Sunday and you get 2 dubs, yes
• 56:31
  it's not easy to do. I thought they played really
• 56:34
  well on. Thursday from from talking to to
• 56:37
  Nick Curran, the voice of the Cards.
• 56:39
  I don't think Coach really thought they played as well as
• 56:42
  maybe I did with my eye. I'm with you.
• 56:45
  I thought they played in my eye. They played better than I think
• 56:48
  that he that he that he led on. I thought they struggled for
• 56:51
  them a little bit the first half yesterday against Cal.
• 56:53
  I watched that game. They did struggle.
• 56:55
  They didn't play their best yesterday.
• 56:56
  But when you don't play your best and you still are up 17
• 56:59
  late in the 4th and end up winning by when they win by 12,
• 57:02
  12 or 14, I mean, yeah. I mean, you don't play your best
• 57:05
  and you're still winning by 141214 points.
• 57:08
  I mean, you'll take that any day.
• 57:09
  And then they they're ready to come home.
• 57:11
  Like, you know, you've been out there.
• 57:12
  You've been there since Tuesday. You've been out there for a
• 57:14
  while, like. It's like get.
• 57:15
  Me, let's get home that the the Sunday game is the one that
• 57:19
  worries. You it's kind of a trap game.
• 57:21
  Everybody's ready to come home. You've been there all week.
• 57:23
  You're playing a team that's middle of the pack in the ACC.
• 57:26
  It's got some kids that can get hot in the beginning of the
• 57:28
  second-half. It kind of look like they might
• 57:29
  be getting some kids that we're getting hot.
• 57:31
  Like it's kind of looks just like one.
• 57:33
  But then what? Taj hit that one.
• 57:35
  Three. They hit 3 threes in a row,
• 57:37
  really kind of pulled away. And did that pass from Elif to
• 57:41
  Ziegler from the baseline? Like whoever thought that we
• 57:44
  would see that last year? It's awesome.
• 57:47
  Like what? What?
• 57:49
  The. Growth of these?
• 57:50
  These girls from the ones that were here last year to what
• 57:53
  they've grown into this year. And you know, we're talking Elif
• 57:56
  and we're talking Mari Berry and, and, and Matt McKinley
• 58:01
  Randolph. And, you know, Taj is doing what
• 58:03
  Taj does. You know, she was great last
• 58:05
  year, She's great again this year.
• 58:06
  So, you know, just the growth of some of these girls from just
• 58:10
  the what what they were last year to where they are now, it's
• 58:12
  just an absolutely unbelievable. But they host undefeated Duke.
• 58:17
  On Thursday, this is the first time in program history that
• 58:21
  they've won 11. They started ACC play 11 and O,
• 58:24
  which look at some of the teams they've had over the last couple
• 58:26
  of years. This is the first time they've
• 58:27
  got to 11 and O in ACC play. They've won 10 games every year
• 58:31
  in the ACC over the last since they've been in the league.
• 58:35
  Just tremendous consistency on on the cards part and $7.00
• 58:40
  tickets on Thursday $7.00 tickets on Thursday.
• 58:42
  It's. One of the biggest women's
• 58:45
  basketball home games that in a while just for the meaning of it
• 58:49
  all. I mean, you know, like, yeah, we
• 58:50
  played South Carolina earlier this year and we played Kentucky
• 58:53
  every two years and those are big games.
• 58:54
  But you know, you're 11 and 11 conference, you're 21 and three
• 58:57
  overall. You know, you're top.
• 58:59
  What are you now? You're up to six in the polls,
• 59:01
  which is probably going to put you at a two seed right now in
• 59:03
  the tournament. So, you know, you keep this
• 59:05
  thing rolling. You win on Thursday, you're in
• 59:07
  the driver's seat to win the conference.
• 59:10
  You're in the driver's seat to get that number one seed on the
• 59:13
  conference tournament. And you know, if you go on and
• 59:15
  win all that, you're looking at a guaranteed 2 seed, potentially
• 59:19
  A1 seed. You're hosting at the Yom Center
• 59:21
  and you're in the driver's seat to, to hopefully do some big
• 59:23
  things in March. So this game Thursday is, is
• 59:26
  huge, absolutely huge. Hope we get a good crowd out
• 59:29
  there. Need a good crowd.
• 59:30
  These girls deserve it. I mean, they've been playing
• 59:32
  their tails off. It's good quality basketball.
• 59:36
  So anybody that's listening that's in the Louisville area or
• 59:39
  the surrounding areas, get your ass down to the M Center.
• 59:43
  Do it. Yeah, let's get 10.
• 59:44
  Let's get 10. 1000 out there, yeah, they deserve it, but.
• 59:48
  No, it's been. It's been.
• 59:49
  So fun to watch them just continue to get better
• 59:51
  throughout the year. And their depth is their average
• 59:55
  is like 36 points a game off the bench.
• 59:58
  Yeah, the depth is second in the Dutch is.
• 1:00:00
  Unbelievable. Yeah.
• 1:00:01
  So, but yeah, get out there on Thursday.
• 1:00:04
  Cheer on the cards, Boo. Carol Lawson, Let's go.
• 1:00:08
  Need to do all that. We are respectable.
• 1:00:11
  Fans here in. Louisville, KY.
• 1:00:14
  We. Talked about It's February,
• 1:00:17
  Yeah. Which means March is coming up.
• 1:00:19
  Yeah, but it's actually February too, OK.
• 1:00:23
  Which means it's everybody's favorite day.
• 1:00:28
  Groundhog's Day. Groundhog Day.
• 1:00:31
  So I was looking it up. I was like what?
• 1:00:33
  What? Where did this even start?
• 1:00:35
  Like why did we, why did we want to have a Groundhog come out of
• 1:00:40
  the ground, see if he's going to see a shadow or not?
• 1:00:43
  And that determine how much winters, how much longer winters
• 1:00:46
  going to be. Yeah.
• 1:00:47
  Yeah. So.
• 1:00:49
  February. Marks the halfway point between
• 1:00:51
  the winter solstice and the spring equinox.
• 1:00:54
  Yes, the pagans used to celebrate.
• 1:00:56
  This time with the festival. Of light.
• 1:00:58
  If the goddess Kalich wanted a long winter, the day would be
• 1:01:02
  bright, if not, it would be dreary.
• 1:01:05
  So that kind of plays into it. The next adaptation was called
• 1:01:10
  Candlemas, a Christian tradition where the clergy would take
• 1:01:14
  their candles to the church to be blessed.
• 1:01:16
  And it continued to evolve over the years.
• 1:01:19
  Germans adapted it further, selecting a hedgehog as the
• 1:01:23
  predictor instead. Finally, the pastime made its
• 1:01:27
  way to America in 1886, thanks to the German settlers who found
• 1:01:31
  their way to guess where Punxsutawney, PA Punxsutawney.
• 1:01:35
  Pennsylvania. But there was a problem.
• 1:01:38
  There was no hedgehogs in Punxsutawney.
• 1:01:42
  Yep. So they decided.
• 1:01:44
  To use a Groundhog. I saw them.
• 1:01:46
  Here we are. Well, the first prediction, 1886
• 1:01:50
  was the first Groundhog's day. But 1887 was the first Groundhog
• 1:01:54
  prediction is what I saw. A hundred overall since 1887.
• 1:02:01
  This little rodent that is quickly becoming on everybody's
• 1:02:07
  shit list. 109 winter predictions, 109 to 20 early
• 1:02:14
  springs, 39 to 20. Yes, 109.
• 1:02:19
  Six more weeks of winter predictions from this guy and 20
• 1:02:24
  early springs. So nobody likes this guy?
• 1:02:26
  No, but no, I mean, he's what he's probably now we're on what
• 1:02:29
  Phil #70 I don't know what version of Phil we're on in the
• 1:02:33
  in the actual record book, he's like 100.
• 1:02:35
  And 30 years old. OK, so nobody.
• 1:02:38
  Lives ever died. It's the same guy.
• 1:02:41
  Five of the last six he's. Predicted more winter, like I
• 1:02:43
  said, 109 to 20. But the good news, the good
• 1:02:48
  news, his accuracy is between 35 to 39%.
• 1:02:54
  Well, so he's usually wrong, so. He is usually.
• 1:02:56
  Wrong. Hopefully he's wrong again this
• 1:02:59
  year because I'm tired. He's always wrong.
• 1:03:01
  I'm tired. Of this cold weather.
• 1:03:03
  And the snow. So he's always wrong.
• 1:03:06
  Nobody likes him. He just.
• 1:03:10
  He sees a shadow. Every year.
• 1:03:13
  He never doesn't seem 20 times in the history. 20 times.
• 1:03:19
  Since 18 what? Would we say 1887?
• 1:03:23
  Yeah, Do. You know that there's
• 1:03:25
  competition and other groundhogs that do this too.
• 1:03:30
  Nobody pays attention. To them, do you know?
• 1:03:32
  That this is true. No, I just I just know of
• 1:03:36
  Punxsutawney. So.
• 1:03:39
  The movie Groundhog. Today was filmed in.
• 1:03:41
  Woodstock, Ohio OK, so they were like.
• 1:03:45
  We. Need a Groundhog.
• 1:03:46
  So they went out and got Woodstock Willie.
• 1:03:49
  Woodstock Willie. OK.
• 1:03:51
  And he's been what? When was that movie?
• 1:03:55
  That was in the 80s, maybe. Yeah.
• 1:03:58
  Bill Murray with the. Yeah, he's been.
• 1:03:59
  Doing this since the 80s. We also have like Staten Island
• 1:04:07
  Chuck, we have Gertie the Groundhog.
• 1:04:15
  Why are they? Why haven't?
• 1:04:16
  Why have I not heard of any of? These Gertie the Groundhog.
• 1:04:19
  It is Peoria, IL, and then there's.
• 1:04:24
  Like Wisconsin, it's Jimmy. The Groundhog West Virginia has
• 1:04:28
  French Creek Freddy, Ohio has a Buckeye Chuck, Buckeye Chuck and
• 1:04:34
  also. Has a Chuck Buckeye.
• 1:04:36
  Chuck, but I had. No idea if there were these
• 1:04:39
  other. Stupid groundhogs that were
• 1:04:41
  doing the same damn thing. It's all stupid.
• 1:04:44
  It's stupid, I mean. Punxsutawney.
• 1:04:47
  He's he's the one. He's the one everybody sees, the
• 1:04:49
  one everybody listens to. Nobody likes him.
• 1:04:52
  As I said, you know, like we should just just somebody just
• 1:04:55
  roll him out of his hole, cook him up.
• 1:04:57
  Let's have a feast and let's just move on being in over with
• 1:05:00
  this. I don't want Peter on our ass.
• 1:05:01
  We that's that's. Not what we want to do.
• 1:05:04
  Throw him in the crockpot Dude in the last 20.
• 1:05:06
  Years. Puck's a Tony Phil.
• 1:05:12
  You had him at what percent like accuracy?
• 1:05:15
  Yeah, he's between 35 to 39%, Yeah, 35% accuracy over the last
• 1:05:20
  20 years. Yeah.
• 1:05:22
  Staten. Island, Chuck.
• 1:05:24
  Uh huh. Who resides out of Staten Island
• 1:05:28
  Zoo? Yeah. 85 percent, 85% for Staten
• 1:05:33
  Island 2000. And six.
• 1:05:35
  So can we just tell? Phil to retire, He needs to
• 1:05:39
  retire. Gertie the Groundhog.
• 1:05:42
  Has a 65% accuracy. So what is So Hold On and
• 1:05:46
  Woodstock? Willie has a 60%.
• 1:05:49
  Accuracy. Staten Island.
• 1:05:50
  Staten Island. Woody.
• 1:05:52
  What's his name? Staten Island Who?
• 1:05:54
  Staten Island. Chuck, Staten Island.
• 1:05:56
  Chuck 80 something percent. Staten Island Chuck while
• 1:05:58
  listening to Staten Island Chuck I.
• 1:06:00
  Don't know, I didn't. Even know existed until today
• 1:06:02
  well. What did he predict today?
• 1:06:03
  I've got all four. Of them for you.
• 1:06:06
  I just want the, I want the 80% actors.
• 1:06:07
  Well, I'm going. To give you them all because
• 1:06:09
  I've got it here, OK? As we said, Pakistani.
• 1:06:11
  Phil Six more weeks of. Winner get the hell out of here.
• 1:06:14
  Never do this again. You are the worst Groundhog in
• 1:06:17
  the history and somehow you are the most famous one.
• 1:06:20
  He's an idiot, is what he? How come?
• 1:06:22
  Is there anything comparable to this?
• 1:06:23
  Like somebody. Who's terrible and why are you
• 1:06:25
  listening to this little rodent? That's 35% accurate.
• 1:06:29
  Like go away. Also, you're not 130 years old.
• 1:06:32
  It's like. Do you remember King of Queens
• 1:06:34
  where Kevin James's parents kept telling him that his dog is
• 1:06:39
  still alive for like 40 years and they kept replacing him?
• 1:06:41
  It's like the same thing. It's the same damn thing.
• 1:06:46
  He's the same thing. Gertie Who's?
• 1:06:49
  The next worst or Woodstock Willie 60% Woodstock Willie
• 1:06:54
  early spring. OK, OK.
• 1:06:57
  And then Gertie. The Groundhog 65% accuracy,
• 1:07:02
  Gertie, she said six. She said six more weeks.
• 1:07:05
  Oh, and then the real predictor Groundhog.
• 1:07:10
  Staten Island Chuck got Allen Chuck the official Groundhog.
• 1:07:13
  Predictor. Of the Heightened Inferential
• 1:07:15
  podcast. OK.
• 1:07:19
  Six more weeks to learn Oh. No.
• 1:07:22
  Oh. No, I got some bad news.
• 1:07:28
  Oh, I don't like groundhogs. Stupid groundhogs.
• 1:07:39
  Staten Island, Chuck Man. Do you know how pumped I'd have
• 1:07:42
  been if I found out he had 80% accuracy and he's coming in with
• 1:07:46
  early spring? Yeah, I'd be.
• 1:07:49
  I'd be getting. The golf clubs ready.
• 1:07:50
  To go, I'd be. Throwing up the truck poster up
• 1:07:52
  a Staten Island Chuck in my. Bedroom if he said if he said.
• 1:07:56
  Early spring, yeah, I'd be dusting the golf clubs off,
• 1:07:59
  getting ready to get shot in the shoes, get some practice swings
• 1:08:02
  in, and we'd be out there playing here in about two to
• 1:08:04
  three weeks. I'd be he'd be hanging out with
• 1:08:07
  the Round Mound of Acorn. Staten Island Chuck in the
• 1:08:10
  round. Mana Acorn in the Fat Squirrel
• 1:08:12
  competition. It's never going to get warm.
• 1:08:17
  We're in an Ice Age right now. Like are we in the midst of an
• 1:08:20
  Ice Age? Bro it snowed and iced.
• 1:08:24
  Like 10 days ago did you see this?
• 1:08:28
  It won't go away. Well, did you see the hockey?
• 1:08:30
  Game last night down in Florida. No, it was like 30° though.
• 1:08:34
  Yeah, they had. To heat the ice.
• 1:08:37
  They weren't expecting it to be that old.
• 1:08:38
  They had to heat up the ice in Florida, in Florida, in Florida.
• 1:08:43
  We're in the mist like we're in the midst.
• 1:08:44
  Of an Ice Age. Like Woolly Manus are going to
• 1:08:46
  start roaming the earth again, and aren't we supposed to be
• 1:08:48
  cloning those those beasts we've reverted?
• 1:08:53
  We've the climate change has reverted.
• 1:08:57
  Yeah, we're going. We're now.
• 1:08:58
  Going cold this. Just like this we had so.
• 1:09:02
  We've done such a good job. We're.
• 1:09:04
  Doing such a good job with recycling and these electric
• 1:09:08
  cars that we've gone. We did too much.
• 1:09:11
  You got. To go back, All right, everybody
• 1:09:13
  start polluting again. Yes.
• 1:09:15
  Get your bad mufflers. And just run them to start
• 1:09:18
  taking off the catalytic converters and.
• 1:09:21
  Let's just start polluting the air so we can get some get some
• 1:09:24
  ozone back through here. We can get some heat this thing
• 1:09:27
  up. The good news is, if you're in
• 1:09:29
  the South end of Louisville, you can just.
• 1:09:30
  Walk over to the boat because you can just walk across the
• 1:09:33
  ice. You might be able to drive your
• 1:09:34
  car across it. I would not recommend that, but.
• 1:09:39

  Can we play the Super Bowl on a Saturday?
• 1:12:20
  Or do that, yes. Or do that but.
• 1:12:26
  Football belongs on Sundays, does it not?
• 1:12:32
  I guess it. Kind of does.
• 1:12:35
  I'd rather the Super Bowl be a Saturday.
• 1:12:37
  I'd rather the college football championship be on a Saturday
• 1:12:40
  too. That would be tight.
• 1:12:42
  But. For some reason, the NCA loves
• 1:12:44
  doing their championships on Monday night.
• 1:12:47
  Yeah. Over.
• 1:12:49
  But which Super Bowl plans? I don't know yet.
• 1:12:56
  Eliana my. Niece was like, are you having?
• 1:12:58
  People over for the Super Bowl and I was like, I don't know, do
• 1:13:00
  you want me to? She's like, yeah, I was like,
• 1:13:02
  what we can talk about. We don't want we talk about, but
• 1:13:08
  yeah, I'm not crazy excited about it.
• 1:13:14
  Yeah. I am excited that the Chiefs.
• 1:13:16
  Aren't in it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:13:19
  But the Chiefs just got replaced by the Patriots, who we just had
• 1:13:23
  whole decade, whole decade of of them being pushed down at the
• 1:13:27
  road. So just give me somebody just
• 1:13:29
  just let the Bengals go back. They got it.
• 1:13:34
  They got it. I keep This is why I keep giving
• 1:13:36
  the Patriots all the props for making all the moves on defence
• 1:13:39
  and free agency. Yeah, there's a blueprint.
• 1:13:42
  There's a blueprint. Follow it.
• 1:13:46
  I saw the cap. I saw the NFL cap is.
• 1:13:48
  Going up until the Bengals now have more cap space.
• 1:13:51
  Bengals even have more cap space than we thought.
• 1:13:54
  Just got to spend it. Just got to spend it.
• 1:13:56
  Tag Trey and trade him. Get a.
• 1:13:58
  Third round pick, it's easy. It's all.
• 1:14:02
  But they won't do it. They won't do it.
• 1:14:03
  No, they won't. They will not do it.
• 1:14:06
  No, it's it's. I hope they do it.
• 1:14:14
  I need a new shirt mate. Well, you could have got one.
• 1:14:17
  In 2021, I'm sure you got a couple of them over there.
• 1:14:20
  I told you. Did you get your IU?
• 1:14:22
  Stuff yet? Because I told you, you get your
• 1:14:24
  stuff, you buy what you want right away.
• 1:14:27
  So you make sure you don't get it because once it's gone, they
• 1:14:29
  don't put it back. And then like couple months
• 1:14:32
  later when it's on sale, then you grab the rest of it.
• 1:14:34
  Did you get something? I still have not.
• 1:14:36
  No, you're an. Idiot, you're one of the
• 1:14:38
  stupidest people alive. All right, that's my goal
• 1:14:40
  tomorrow. I'm getting on there tomorrow.
• 1:14:41
  It's all going to be gone. Like it's going to be gone.
• 1:14:43
  The cool. Stuff is going to be gone.
• 1:14:44
  There's. Plenty of cool and you're.
• 1:14:46
  Going to cry, You're going to cry.
• 1:14:48
  They're going to be. Gone like when the Braves.
• 1:14:49
  Won the world. Series.
• 1:14:50
  Dude, I got the sweetest toboggan ever and if I wouldn't
• 1:14:53
  have bought it the night they won, I wouldn't have got it
• 1:14:55
  because that thing was never to be found again.
• 1:14:57
  I wear that thing half the time during the winter because it's
• 1:15:01
  just, it's comfortable. It keeps your ears warm.
• 1:15:04
  It says World Series champs don't don't.
• 1:15:07
  I think it don't want their opportunities slide, I think.
• 1:15:09
  Adidas will keep their. Stuff in stock?
• 1:15:13
  Good luck on that. Well, I'm glad.
• 1:15:14

  Get up by two. Scores Patriots score in the
• 1:17:04
  fourth. Seahawks, Hold on and look.
• 1:17:08
  If if the Patriots get some. Turnovers then this could be a
• 1:17:11
  totally different game if they don't.
• 1:17:12
  If they don't get 2 turnovers, I don't think the Patriots have a
