Speaker 1: putting together the show. Justin Graver, everybody, do people go
1:23
Speaker 1: on you graveyard? Is that a real thing? Graveyard? Not
1:27
Speaker 1: so much. Dan Hands is of around the NFL has
1:30
Speaker 1: made Gravedigger popular? What about? What about like Junkyard Dog?
1:35
Speaker 1: That's cool. Junkyard Dog was a player on the Raptors.
1:38
Speaker 1: What was his name, Jerome Williams, Williams something like that.
1:42
Speaker 1: I used to love him and now I forget his name. Ah.
1:44
Speaker 1: And then the other little voice that you just heard
1:47
Speaker 1: was my buddy Mohan. Mohan was my producer at Fox,
1:52
Speaker 1: and I enjoyed his company so much and he made
1:56
Speaker 1: me a smarter person and a funnier person, and he
1:59
Speaker 1: is one of my favorite people. Um well, I set
2:03
Speaker 1: the bar, so thank you. I've never been so nice
2:07
Speaker 1: to me, but I really haven't. And this is where
2:09
Speaker 1: it stops. I just I'm being nice to you now
2:11
Speaker 1: so that people can kind of look back on this
2:13
Speaker 1: episode and be like, she's not that bad. It was
2:15
Speaker 1: kind to him once upon a time, but people need
2:17
Speaker 1: to know, Um, Mohan is a black belt in taekwondo.
2:22
Speaker 1: You're a chess master, Um, and you really like to
2:25
Speaker 1: play the victim card. I really love to be like, Oh,
2:29
Speaker 1: I'm being bullied all the time, and that's that's how
2:31
Speaker 1: you get bullied. That's how you get your black belt.
2:33
Speaker 1: That's what do you call yourself? You're a sneak, You're
2:37
Speaker 1: you're a what's the thing you call yourself? You're scammers.
2:41
Speaker 1: He's a schemer. He's a schemer and a scammera everybody
2:43
Speaker 1: and he's a part of this show. Those are pretty
2:45
Speaker 1: different things. Yeah, definitely better than a scammer. I think, Yes, guys,
2:50
Speaker 1: these are my two new best friends and they are
2:52
Speaker 1: stuck with me through this journey. And I asked them,
2:55
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna get to know each other as
2:57
Speaker 1: we go on this journey. I asked them if there
2:59
Speaker 1: was one superhero or movie character that you could use
3:03
Speaker 1: to describe yourself so that people could just get your
3:06
Speaker 1: vibe very quickly, who would it be. I'll go first.
3:08
Speaker 1: I feel like a like a female non creepy pee
3:13
Speaker 1: wee herman. I think that that encapsulates who I am.
3:16
Speaker 1: Actually pretty much to the t Justin Graver. Who are you,
3:19
Speaker 1: Junkyard Dog? I think non creepy is very important there.
3:21
Speaker 1: Who are you going with? I went with Doctor Strange,
3:24
Speaker 1: I went superhero route, and I went with Doctor Strange,
3:27
Speaker 1: my post car accident, post arrogance version of Doctor Strange.
3:32
Speaker 1: So more like kind of a little bit in control
3:35
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, like not always scene, but technical wizard.
3:39
Speaker 1: You can make some happen. Yeah, you're into the mystic arts, Yes, yes, no,
3:45
Speaker 1: I'm art right just then, Yeah, I'm being in the MCU.
3:48
Speaker 1: I'm already getting started here. Who I actually cannot wait
3:51
Speaker 1: it first, so I put some thought into it. I
3:54
Speaker 1: was thinking about superheroes. I'm gonna go with Batman. No,
3:58
Speaker 1: you're not Batman's Batman's trustee, Butler Alfred. I'll tell you why,
4:04
Speaker 1: because it was to flip this five hundred pound table
4:07
Speaker 1: in front of me. Mohan, I'm I'm a little bit
4:09
Speaker 1: of an old soul. Wise, I'm resourceful, and I'm a
4:13
Speaker 1: good hype man for my guy Batman. So wow, dude,
4:17
Speaker 1: I thank you. That's actually you thought I was gonna
4:20
Speaker 1: say Batman. I absolutely I warned you before we started recording.
4:23
Speaker 1: I said Mohan, don't say Batman or else I will
4:26
Speaker 1: walk out of this room because you're that kind of guy.
4:28
Speaker 1: Was guys, enough of these Shenanigans. Okay. We've got Doctor Strange,
4:34
Speaker 1: and we've got Alfred and we got Peewee Herman. Okay,
4:37
Speaker 1: that's the show that you guys have signed up to
4:39
Speaker 1: listen to every single week, and we hope that you
4:41
Speaker 1: don't leave us. But enough of that football. Oh my
4:47
Speaker 1: sweet baby, Lord Jesus, where we gifted just a platter
4:53
Speaker 1: of beautiful, beauty of beauty. Okay. And I have been
4:58
Speaker 1: up all night thinking about these games, and I wrote
5:03
Speaker 1: a dang song from my soul and guess what, I
5:07
Speaker 1: don't know how to play guitar well, and I'm not
5:08
Speaker 1: a great singer. But just this was recorded at literally
5:12
Speaker 1: three forty five a m. Because I've just been up
5:15
Speaker 1: all night, sick with love over this sport. Rolling. Kickers
5:27
Speaker 1: are people too. They go through more than me, more
5:33
Speaker 1: than you. Kickers are people team in the cold, in
5:38
Speaker 1: the heat, when their team looks like cool, they have
5:41
Speaker 1: all the pressure, they get all the glory, but in
5:45
Speaker 1: then this will tweet me and be very sorry. Kickers
5:49
Speaker 1: are people too. Just about every single game this weekend
5:54
Speaker 1: ended with you, kickers are people too. You may not
5:59
Speaker 1: remember the names, and that's embarrassing for you. Shadows. Rob
6:05
Speaker 1: Heaven make fears and hares about her and young I
6:18
Speaker 1: know he didn't play what He's amazing and it round.
6:22
Speaker 1: Kickers are people. Kickers are people too, Mohun. I know
6:30
Speaker 1: that you always say who cares about kickers? That's like
6:33
Speaker 1: a thing that you actually always say to me. Kickers
6:36
Speaker 1: are people to people? All right. I was so blown
6:42
Speaker 1: away by all of these games, and I really want
6:45
Speaker 1: to focus. I know everyone's talking about kickers today, but
6:47
Speaker 1: they just deserve all of the attention that they are getting.
6:49
Speaker 1: Because listen, we had our Christmas party at NFL Network.
6:53
Speaker 1: We had it at SOFI Stadium, breg and we were
6:57
Speaker 1: able to go down on the field and part of
6:59
Speaker 1: the excitement was that we got to kick our own
7:02
Speaker 1: field goals. Grever, did you try it? I did? I'd
7:05
Speaker 1: rather not talk about you. Have you absolutely have to
7:08
Speaker 1: Was it successful? Or did you? Did? Everyone bill you? So?
7:11
Speaker 1: I was wearing dress shoes and that's really really hard
7:14
Speaker 1: to kick in and the ball did not get above
7:16
Speaker 1: my knee in terms of hip off the ground, So yeah,
7:18
Speaker 1: pretty bad. I honestly didn't even try. I got down
7:22
Speaker 1: there and I think I was on like the forty
7:24
Speaker 1: or the thirty. No, I was on like the twenty five. Okay.
7:27
Speaker 1: I was giving myself some hope, and I didn't do
7:31
Speaker 1: it because I was just like, there's absolutely no way
7:36
Speaker 1: I think that when you're in a game or you're
7:38
Speaker 1: watching on TV, these guys just make it look so
7:42
Speaker 1: easy and like whatever the scale that with in which
7:45
Speaker 1: you're looking at the field, it looks close. I'm telling
7:49
Speaker 1: you right now, I know a lot of people don't
7:51
Speaker 1: have like the privilege of being able to go down
7:53
Speaker 1: on an NFL field. It is insane what these guys
7:58
Speaker 1: do every single gosh darn weekend. Not only are they
8:03
Speaker 1: kicking at an insane distance, shout out Justin Tucker, He's
8:06
Speaker 1: an insane person. What an athletic feat that was. But
8:11
Speaker 1: the preciseness and the precision in which that they have
8:15
Speaker 1: to do it is just so crazy. They it leads
8:18
Speaker 1: me to believe that they've got did you watch Free Solo? Yeah,
8:22
Speaker 1: Alex hunold you know how he's literally got something different
8:25
Speaker 1: in his brain that allows him to just like not
8:28
Speaker 1: feel the fear that we would feel doing something like that.
8:31
Speaker 1: I genuinely think that kickers are built differently. They are,
8:36
Speaker 1: like I mentioned in my beautiful lyrics that I wrote,
8:39
Speaker 1: they have all of the pressure on them in the
8:41
Speaker 1: entire game. A lot of it comes down to them.
8:43
Speaker 1: Three out of the four games, all of the games,
8:46
Speaker 1: it came down to the kicker this weekend, and your
8:49
Speaker 1: entire team is looking at you and being like, dude,
8:52
Speaker 1: you gotta do this, And for this was insane. We
8:55
Speaker 1: heard Joe Burrow postgame talk about Evan McPherson and making
8:58
Speaker 1: his kick. Can we play this Burrow sound? That guy's unbelievable,
9:03
Speaker 1: he said. So he was talking to Brandon as he
9:06
Speaker 1: was going out to kick. He'd give a little warm
9:08
Speaker 1: up swing and he said, it looks like we're going
9:11
Speaker 1: to the AFC Championship right before he went out there
9:13
Speaker 1: to kick it. That is a mad man. That is
9:17
Speaker 1: a madman. That's a guy that does not care how
9:19
Speaker 1: he's gonna look afterwards if he gets it wrong. He's
9:22
Speaker 1: just like, there is no other universe. There is no
9:24
Speaker 1: other universe where I missed this. I am going to
9:27
Speaker 1: just the con. I've never been more confident. I've never
9:31
Speaker 1: been as confident as him about something in my life.
9:34
Speaker 1: I can't even tell you that I'm going to breathe
9:36
Speaker 1: my next breath with such confidence as this guy. It's
9:39
Speaker 1: just I don't think we realize how amazing these people are. Kickers, man,
9:45
Speaker 1: they were the highlight of the weekend. I was blown
9:48
Speaker 1: out of my frick him slippers. And to add to
9:52
Speaker 1: add to that, McPherson is a rookie and the guy
9:56
Speaker 1: went eight for eight, the new guy, and you're like, oh,
10:00
Speaker 1: I got this. I guess we're going to the Chambie chip.
10:02
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. I think some people are just
10:04
Speaker 1: built differently. They can handle. Are you cool under pressure? Yeah?
10:08
Speaker 1: I guess you're sweating from here for sure. It depends
10:12
Speaker 1: on what it is. Graver Junkyard Dog, Are you good
10:15
Speaker 1: under pressure? I'm okay. I wouldn't consider myself anywhere near
10:19
Speaker 1: the level of an NFL kicker. It's just amazing. They
10:22
Speaker 1: deserve badges of honor and we should all stand up
10:25
Speaker 1: and clap, even if they miss every single time. Anyways,
10:28
Speaker 1: kickers are amazing. We love you. Kickers. Kickers are people's too.
10:31
Speaker 1: Shout outs to you, all right. The other thing that
10:33
Speaker 1: a lot of people are talking about today, Tuesday, and
10:36
Speaker 1: probably for the rest of the week, is this dang
10:39
Speaker 1: coin toss situation. Okay, oh my goodness, the Chief's Bills
10:45
Speaker 1: game went into overtime, the coin was tossed, the Chiefs
10:50
Speaker 1: got the call, they got to go down the field first.
10:53
Speaker 1: A lot of people are up in arms. Listen, it
10:54
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what happened, it doesn't matter
10:57
Speaker 1: who would have won. People would be angry about some
11:00
Speaker 1: thing today. I think that where the anger is coming
11:03
Speaker 1: from is we had a whole weekend filled with like
11:06
Speaker 1: such incredible, exciting football and this was just the juiciest
11:12
Speaker 1: piece of meat of a game to watch. In the end,
11:15
Speaker 1: they're like, it's just amazing that even happened. And for
11:19
Speaker 1: us to only get a couple more seconds and for
11:22
Speaker 1: the Chiefs to score a touchdown so quickly. I think
11:24
Speaker 1: that that's actually where all the anger is coming from,
11:27
Speaker 1: is that we didn't get more of it. It's not
11:29
Speaker 1: like all the Bills didn't get a chance. No, no no, no,
11:31
Speaker 1: It's like, no, we all just wanted more football, and
11:33
Speaker 1: usually we do get more football when it comes to overtime.
11:36
Speaker 1: It's just like, Okay, we get to enjoy this game
11:39
Speaker 1: for another like ten minutes, fifteen minutes maybe, and that
11:44
Speaker 1: just didn't happen. They just scored so quickly, which leads me. Okay,
11:47
Speaker 1: so everyone's coming up with their new ideas for overtime today.
11:51
Speaker 1: There should the coin toss be removed? Should there be
11:54
Speaker 1: something in its place? Here's my idea, because everyone's adding
11:56
Speaker 1: to this conversation, I might as well as well. I
12:00
Speaker 1: think that both teams should get a chance to finish
12:06
Speaker 1: out the first period. There should be no golden goal,
12:11
Speaker 1: there should be no first touchdown and it wins. You
12:14
Speaker 1: should get the first period. I think it's what they
12:16
Speaker 1: call it. See where we're at. Okay, by the end
12:19
Speaker 1: of it, if there's a clear winner, if somebody is leading,
12:21
Speaker 1: then that is who wins. But both teams get to
12:24
Speaker 1: touch the ball. And then after that, you know, people
12:27
Speaker 1: don't want a million periods of overtime. I understand that
12:30
Speaker 1: as well, because then the excitement dies down. I for
12:33
Speaker 1: one of them. A huge fan of penalty kicks in soccer.
12:37
Speaker 1: I covered soccer for many a year as I got
12:39
Speaker 1: to go to World Cups. It's I think one of
12:43
Speaker 1: the greatest things in sports. A lot of people do
12:46
Speaker 1: not feel that way. I think there's got to be
12:49
Speaker 1: some kind of equivalent to that, because the excitement in
12:55
Speaker 1: watching penalty kicks is the most incredible feeling in sports.
13:01
Speaker 1: I think even if your team doesn't win, the excitement
13:04
Speaker 1: and that experience is just so incredible. I think that
13:07
Speaker 1: there's got to be something like that in football. And
13:10
Speaker 1: we were just talking about it, should should it be
13:12
Speaker 1: quarterback versus quarterback? Who can throw the furthest down the field?
13:17
Speaker 1: And listen, all of these ideas are going to sound
13:19
Speaker 1: so dumb and so ridiculous because football is such a traditional,
13:23
Speaker 1: historical sport. It has been this way since since it started.
13:26
Speaker 1: But guess what football is actually dumb? You got kickers
13:30
Speaker 1: trying to kick a ball fifty yards through some polls.
13:33
Speaker 1: You got guys trying to catch a ball in a
13:35
Speaker 1: certain spot on the field. Sports always start out as
13:39
Speaker 1: being dumb. Okay, they're always dumb ideas, and then eventually
13:43
Speaker 1: you do it enough times, then that's the sport. So
13:46
Speaker 1: we gotta come up with some ideas. How can we
13:48
Speaker 1: decide this game? I like the furthest toss rule. What
13:51
Speaker 1: was the other thing that you would think of? So
13:54
Speaker 1: in King's Cup. When you get an ace, you know
13:57
Speaker 1: the waterfall, and then you like, as the ace gets
14:00
Speaker 1: to ask like Josh Allen waterfall, who's gonna win? No? No, no,
14:07
Speaker 1: no no, you ask a common knowledge question like what
14:11
Speaker 1: day of the week is this, and whoever answers it
14:13
Speaker 1: first gets to start it so they don't, okay, get penalized.
14:17
Speaker 1: And then instead of a common knowledge question, it can
14:20
Speaker 1: be a question from the wonder like test so and
14:23
Speaker 1: then then pays off the smarts. So maybe it's maybe
14:25
Speaker 1: it's like going through like a series of like combine
14:29
Speaker 1: tests like wonder like how high can you jump? I
14:32
Speaker 1: feel like I'm going to push back on these ideas.
14:34
Speaker 1: Possibilities are endless, Junkyard dog, Why are you pushing back
14:37
Speaker 1: on it? It's because you're you're staunchy, you're old school.
14:40
Speaker 1: It's not just that I want to preface this by
14:43
Speaker 1: saying that we definitely need to change the overtime rules,
14:46
Speaker 1: at least in the playoffs. We had the NFL research
14:49
Speaker 1: team look into this for for our show. We asked
14:51
Speaker 1: for this and it got tweeted all over the all
14:54
Speaker 1: over the timeline today, so that, oh, are you saying
14:56
Speaker 1: we're responsible for this knowledge that went around amazing. So
15:01
Speaker 1: under the current overtime rules, there have been eleven overtime
15:04
Speaker 1: playoff games and the teams that have won the overtime
15:08
Speaker 1: coin toss are ten and one in those games, and
15:13
Speaker 1: seven of those ten winners scored the game winning touchdown
15:16
Speaker 1: on their first possession. The other team didn't even get
15:19
Speaker 1: a chance. Now, in the regular season, it's a lot
15:21
Speaker 1: closer to fifty percent. So I feel like the regular season,
15:25
Speaker 1: it's like if a bad team starts with the ball
15:28
Speaker 1: and they're playing a really good team, like they're probably
15:29
Speaker 1: gonna lose, like whatever. Leave the regular season rules alone,
15:32
Speaker 1: they're fine. But for the playoffs, when you got the
15:34
Speaker 1: highest level of players and you got such good quarterbacks, like,
15:37
Speaker 1: if they start with the ball, they're going to score. Yeah,
15:39
Speaker 1: So I agree we need to change the rules. Who
15:40
Speaker 1: is it, Who is it hurting to give us more? Right, No,
15:43
Speaker 1: it's not hurting TV. You know, they're only going to
15:47
Speaker 1: have more viewers and they're gonna make more money. It's
15:49
Speaker 1: great for us because we get more football. I was here,
15:53
Speaker 1: I was listening to Good Morning Football this morning, and
15:54
Speaker 1: Chris Carter was just like, I don't want to play
15:56
Speaker 1: more football. It's like, really do not want to play?
16:00
Speaker 1: And Chris Carter, if you're a receiver for the Bills,
16:04
Speaker 1: you don't want to go out there and have a
16:05
Speaker 1: moment of glory try to win the game you just lost. Otherwise,
16:08
Speaker 1: what do you don't want to play more football? It's crazy? Yeah.
16:12
Speaker 1: One of his excuses, which I thought was funny, it
16:15
Speaker 1: was just like I I had my pregame meal four
16:19
Speaker 1: hours ago and Kyle Brand was like, going to prote
16:24
Speaker 1: pack snacks, have some blueberries. I don't know, but like,
16:27
Speaker 1: continue the game. It is only beneficial for all of us.
16:30
Speaker 1: Another issue I think is like, okay, so thank you
16:34
Speaker 1: for that number uh winners of the coin toss or
16:37
Speaker 1: ten and one in those games. So that makes the
16:39
Speaker 1: coin toss so exciting, right, But the problem is the
16:42
Speaker 1: coin toss is over in three seconds? So is it?
16:44
Speaker 1: Is it what makes decides which team is gonna go first?
16:49
Speaker 1: Do we need to prolong that situation? Maybe it's like
16:52
Speaker 1: who has more net yards in the game or something
16:56
Speaker 1: of chess, sure speech, chess speech, chess speed chess, yeah something, Yeah,
17:01
Speaker 1: you could you could get them into that. Listen, I
17:03
Speaker 1: know all ideas are going to sound ridiculous because it's
17:06
Speaker 1: gonna be new and it's going to be different, but
17:08
Speaker 1: there's gotta be it's gotta be something. Well, the reason
17:10
Speaker 1: I'm against the furthest toss or the waterfall ideas, Oh sorry,
17:15
Speaker 1: you were against the water out on the water. I'm
17:19
Speaker 1: out on that one. But the reason is football is
17:22
Speaker 1: the ultimate team sport, so you're going to take that
17:25
Speaker 1: away and put it in the hands of one person.
17:27
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. Football is also all about entertainment
17:30
Speaker 1: and the two most the most entertaining people on the
17:34
Speaker 1: field shout outs kickers again, are the two quarterbacks? True?
17:38
Speaker 1: Especially why not? Now, why not put on a show?
17:42
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that would have I'd still be watching
17:45
Speaker 1: those highlights. If it was like some kind of like
17:49
Speaker 1: shootout dodgeball like they do it the Pro Bowl, I'm
17:51
Speaker 1: out on that. I like, we're getting away from football,
17:56
Speaker 1: but some kind of skills competition, whether it's like Patrick
17:59
Speaker 1: Mahomes verse is Josh Allen in like the longest Yards.
18:01
Speaker 1: I'm imagining the you know, the the in the college
18:04
Speaker 1: playoffs they have the Doctor Pepper halftime shows where people
18:07
Speaker 1: have to like toss it into certain targets. Maybe it's
18:09
Speaker 1: something like that. They do it at the Pro Bowl, right,
18:11
Speaker 1: the skills content the Pro Bowl. Maybe it's something like
18:14
Speaker 1: that that would, oh my gosh, that would improve all
18:17
Speaker 1: of our lives immensely. Josh Allen was nine and oh
18:21
Speaker 1: going into the game with a coin toss, and then
18:23
Speaker 1: of course last night he went over too, and then
18:25
Speaker 1: they went. Josh Allen is classy as hell. After the game,
18:28
Speaker 1: he wasn't complaining, even though a reporter was kind of
18:30
Speaker 1: baiting him into complaining he lost over a coin flip.
18:33
Speaker 1: But I also think he understands there was a million
18:35
Speaker 1: other chances that he could have won that game outside
18:37
Speaker 1: of the coin flip, which is another side of the argument. Today, Um,
18:40
Speaker 1: let's just enjoy the great football that we all got
18:43
Speaker 1: to experience. And hey, maybe one day we're going to
18:46
Speaker 1: see football players doing a waterfall on the field. Wow.
18:51
Speaker 1: All right, coming up, I am going to do something
18:55
Speaker 1: that I don't I don't think I see very often.
18:58
Speaker 1: I don't think people are brave enough to do this.
19:01
Speaker 1: I am opening my DMS. DMS now open. This is
19:15
Speaker 1: safe space. Tell me your deepest, darkest secrets. DMS now open.
19:26
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, the DMS have been flooded yet again.
19:33
Speaker 1: You know, I tried this a couple of weeks ago before,
19:35
Speaker 1: you know, when we were just kind of trying to
19:36
Speaker 1: figure out what we wanted this show to look like.
19:39
Speaker 1: I think I got enough messages a couple of weeks
19:42
Speaker 1: ago to last us for a year, and then I
19:45
Speaker 1: did it again. So I am asking you guys, every
19:49
Speaker 1: single weekend to slide into the DMS and tell me
19:54
Speaker 1: your football. Hot takes your secrets. I got a lot
19:56
Speaker 1: of people telling about their affairs and their crimes, like
20:05
Speaker 1: actual crime. Some works are the we're concerning, So we're concerning,
20:12
Speaker 1: but we pick some fun ones and no one knows. Listen,
20:15
Speaker 1: the only people that are seeing your names are is me.
20:19
Speaker 1: Mohan doesn't see them, Junkyard Dog doesn't see them. Is
20:22
Speaker 1: just me. Otherwise you're completely anonymous. We've got some really
20:27
Speaker 1: great ones today. Let's hear them at anonymous. I penciled
20:34
Speaker 1: in a fake line on a COVID home test so
20:37
Speaker 1: I could watch football in the basement alone all weekend
20:41
Speaker 1: instead of going to my girlfriend's sister's wedding by but
20:50
Speaker 1: also really smart, pretty dark? Is it dark or is
20:55
Speaker 1: it genius? Look at the football? You just got to experience.
21:00
Speaker 1: I was actually talking to somebody that had to go
21:01
Speaker 1: to a wedding. Oh, Pete had to go to a
21:03
Speaker 1: wedding this weekend too. My boyfriend had to go to
21:06
Speaker 1: a wedding this weekend. He was on a plaine during
21:11
Speaker 1: Bill's Chiefs last night. Come on, Nobody's sister is worth it.
21:18
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, but I think I think I might.
21:22
Speaker 1: I would have done the same thing. I mean, he was,
21:25
Speaker 1: he got very lucky, Like could you imagine if he
21:27
Speaker 1: had a couple of dads. But, um, good thing you
21:30
Speaker 1: didn't do that last Super wild Card weekend. That would
21:33
Speaker 1: have been a little that would have been a little rough.
21:36
Speaker 1: But shout outs too anonymous. I actually think you're very smart.
21:40
Speaker 1: I hope that your girlfriend doesn't listen to this podcast
21:43
Speaker 1: and somehow figure out what happened. But I don't think.
21:45
Speaker 1: I think I think he's safe. Would you ever do
21:47
Speaker 1: something of that? Um, what if it was like the
21:49
Speaker 1: Browns in the Super Bowl and one of your your
21:52
Speaker 1: jerk friends decided to get married your best friend, shout
21:56
Speaker 1: out Sonny, he decided to get married on the weekend
21:59
Speaker 1: that the Browns were in the Super Bowl. He would
22:01
Speaker 1: never do that. But no, what if he did? Can
22:03
Speaker 1: you were the best man? I would, oh, guys, I
22:08
Speaker 1: would come up with something other than COVID, But you
22:10
Speaker 1: would skip your best friend's wedding. Wow, that's the kind
22:13
Speaker 1: of person that mohut saying that that was the dark
22:16
Speaker 1: part about it. Uh that he skipped whatever. It's scared
22:19
Speaker 1: break my leg or something that And that's I'm sorry
22:24
Speaker 1: you think that drawing in a line on a COVID
22:25
Speaker 1: test is not dark? But you want me to break
22:28
Speaker 1: your legs? Oh, you don't have to do so you
22:30
Speaker 1: think your own leg? Yeah, it's like I don't know.
22:35
Speaker 1: Yeah that can we cut that out? That we're keeping
22:41
Speaker 1: all of it in shout outs to buddy? Um, I
22:44
Speaker 1: think good for you? Is that is that bad? I
22:46
Speaker 1: think that that was actually very smart? Uh? Whoops? Next
22:50
Speaker 1: one at anonymous. I fell asleep during the Rams Bucks
22:56
Speaker 1: game because I thought it was over. I woke up
22:59
Speaker 1: in the school and was tied. Whoof, you've got a
23:03
Speaker 1: sour face? Yeah that's a tough one. How do you
23:06
Speaker 1: do something like this? Guys? This was me. I sent
23:10
Speaker 1: this in. Oh my god, I'm anonymous. Are you all
23:15
Speaker 1: the anonymous? Nope? Just this one. It was me. It
23:19
Speaker 1: was me. I fell asleep. How could I do that?
23:23
Speaker 1: I was so okay, listen, it's Sunday. I have to
23:26
Speaker 1: wake up at the literal butt crack of dawn, and
23:29
Speaker 1: I need I got. I get to go and do
23:31
Speaker 1: game day morning and it is so fun. Okay. During
23:33
Speaker 1: the regular season, I caught your girls slept some naps
23:37
Speaker 1: on during the games. If there's some there's some duds.
23:41
Speaker 1: I fall asleep. I was on my couch. I was
23:44
Speaker 1: so cozy. I was like, football, M warm, this is great. Uh.
23:48
Speaker 1: And then tom Brady started to lose, and this dumb
23:51
Speaker 1: dumb I was just like, you know what, tom Brady,
23:53
Speaker 1: He's not gonna keep on coming back forever. Like, we
23:56
Speaker 1: gotta at some point, we gotta bookend this. We gotta
23:58
Speaker 1: retire that Tom Brady is this maniac that just comes
24:01
Speaker 1: back all the time. So your girl started to count sheep,
24:05
Speaker 1: she started to drift off, and I woke up and
24:08
Speaker 1: the score was tied, and then I got to watch
24:13
Speaker 1: the rest of the game, which was very fun. And
24:14
Speaker 1: I of course went back and watched what I missed.
24:16
Speaker 1: But it could have been much worse. It could have
24:18
Speaker 1: been much worse worse. I feel really dumb, and do
24:22
Speaker 1: you feel arrested today? I feel great. I feel great.
24:26
Speaker 1: I think I might be the only person on NFL
24:27
Speaker 1: network to admit such a fault. But I'm a real person,
24:31
Speaker 1: and you're going to hear the truth on this podcast.
24:33
Speaker 1: And the truth is that I truly counted Tom Brady
24:36
Speaker 1: out of that one so much so I started sawing logs.
24:40
Speaker 1: It's a safe space, and that's how me and you
24:42
Speaker 1: know what, it's a safe space. I think the listeners
24:44
Speaker 1: will appreciate. I think that they will too, And then
24:46
Speaker 1: I think that they're they're going to realize, like, Wow,
24:48
Speaker 1: this is actually a really safe place. And I'm going
24:49
Speaker 1: to tell Rachel that I committed a crime when I
24:51
Speaker 1: was fifteen and I went to jail. All right, what's
24:54
Speaker 1: what's the next one? I actually feel really great after
24:56
Speaker 1: getting that off my chest? Thank you, guys, what's the
24:58
Speaker 1: next one? Ad? Enough? I miss my spicy football take?
25:03
Speaker 1: Brady retires in off season, Bucks acquire Rogers in trade.
25:08
Speaker 1: Who this may have been the spiciest take that I
25:11
Speaker 1: had in my DMS. I think that this would be
25:17
Speaker 1: so cheesy. I actually think both of these guys are done.
25:22
Speaker 1: I think that they're both done. I think that, you know,
25:24
Speaker 1: I was listening to Aaron Rodgers Zizzes sit down with
25:28
Speaker 1: the kay Adams this weekend on game day morning, and
25:31
Speaker 1: he was talking about how he doesn't fear a retirement
25:34
Speaker 1: anymore because he's kind of had a taste of it.
25:37
Speaker 1: In the off season, he like totally checked off from
25:38
Speaker 1: his team and he went to Hawaii and whatever. Greg Mullet,
25:42
Speaker 1: I think that he just might be done. I think
25:44
Speaker 1: that with all also the drama that he had this year,
25:48
Speaker 1: and like the microscope that he was living under, and
25:51
Speaker 1: you know, he probably part of him felt really good
25:55
Speaker 1: for you know, being truthful to himself and his beliefs,
26:00
Speaker 1: even though a lot of people didn't agree with what
26:02
Speaker 1: he had to say. There's probably a part of him
26:04
Speaker 1: that was just like, Wow, this feels really good. But
26:07
Speaker 1: then he was also just absolutely thrashed for those things.
26:11
Speaker 1: I can kind of see him being like, you know what,
26:13
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go like live in a cabin in
26:15
Speaker 1: the woods and do yoga and no one's ever gonna
26:18
Speaker 1: hear from me again. I can I can see him
26:20
Speaker 1: being like an Andrew Luck kind of situation, like just
26:22
Speaker 1: totally falling off the map and then Tom Brady just,
26:26
Speaker 1: I know he's probably emotional right now, and you know,
26:30
Speaker 1: you say some things that you don't mean when you're
26:32
Speaker 1: coming off a loss and you're coming off of what
26:34
Speaker 1: could be you know, it's that's a big loss for him.
26:37
Speaker 1: This might be his last year. So Tom Brady just,
26:40
Speaker 1: I guess recorded in an episode of his Let's Go
26:43
Speaker 1: podcast today which is on a Monday. We're recording right now,
26:47
Speaker 1: and this is what he said on the podcast. He
26:50
Speaker 1: was talking about his wife, Giselle and his family. It
26:53
Speaker 1: pains her to see me get hit out there, and
26:55
Speaker 1: she deserves what she needs for me as a husband,
26:57
Speaker 1: and my kids deserve what they need for me as
27:00
Speaker 1: a dad. That sounds really emotional. That sounds like he's
27:04
Speaker 1: just like really down in the domps, and it sounds
27:08
Speaker 1: like to me that he's done. How much longer is
27:11
Speaker 1: he gonna keep on going? He is amazing? Like, does
27:13
Speaker 1: he really need to prove to himself that we don't
27:15
Speaker 1: need to get into the Brady retirement conversation because it's
27:17
Speaker 1: so you know, tired, But what else does he have
27:20
Speaker 1: to prove? He's already wont to suit. He did that
27:23
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, like, I think he's good. I think
27:26
Speaker 1: I think we can let him go. Tom, you can go,
27:32
Speaker 1: you can go. Yeah, he got away from Bill and
27:35
Speaker 1: he want a championship without him, and he got it.
27:37
Speaker 1: You got it. It's almost He's gonna be a top
27:39
Speaker 1: three MVP vote getter, probably this year. Like what more
27:44
Speaker 1: can you ask for? He's gonna be what forty six
27:46
Speaker 1: this year? Forty five in August? I thought he was
27:48
Speaker 1: already forty five. Whatever, he's gonna be forty five, Like
27:52
Speaker 1: you wanna be with your kids, you want to get fat.
27:56
Speaker 1: I want to be fat when I'm forty five. But Brady,
28:00
Speaker 1: you know what we're setting you for. You like a
28:02
Speaker 1: little dove into the night, Go get fat and retire.
28:06
Speaker 1: DM's closed, Close them up, d m's closed. All right,
28:10
Speaker 1: this next part I am so excited to share with you.
28:14
Speaker 1: So I had a podcast once upon a time. Because
28:15
Speaker 1: this is not my first rodeo, it's my first solo podcast,
28:18
Speaker 1: which makes it a real deal. But I had a
28:20
Speaker 1: podcast called Hall of Shame with one of my very
28:23
Speaker 1: very good friends, Rechna frouck Bam. She is a comedy writer.
28:26
Speaker 1: She has written on hilarious shows like Parks and rec
28:30
Speaker 1: which we love, Fresh off the Boat, which we love,
28:32
Speaker 1: and now she has I think that this is probably
28:34
Speaker 1: her biggest job that she's ever had. She is a
28:37
Speaker 1: writer and producer on and just like that, the Sex
28:41
Speaker 1: and the City reboot, which is, you know, Sex and
28:44
Speaker 1: the City in football maybe don't go hand in hand.
28:46
Speaker 1: But this week I was watching an episode and I
28:50
Speaker 1: hear a play, I hear a football play call, and
28:53
Speaker 1: it's somebody watching TV and it's the Browns. She is
28:58
Speaker 1: such a massive Cleveland Browns and that she wrote in
29:01
Speaker 1: a Baker Mayfield shout out in an episode of the
29:05
Speaker 1: Sex and the City reboots, So I had to call
29:08
Speaker 1: her and ask her what was up? Out of the
29:10
Speaker 1: four remaining quarterbacks, I want to know, who's Samantha, Who's Miranda?
29:16
Speaker 1: Who's the other girls? Harry, let's listen to Retchena Rechna,
29:22
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. Oh my gosh, we're back. We
29:26
Speaker 1: are back. Okay. Literally, there's nobody else that I would
29:28
Speaker 1: want to have as my first guest. As my old
29:32
Speaker 1: podcast partner, Retchena and I were on a podcast called
29:35
Speaker 1: Hall of Shame. It got canceled, but we're back and
29:38
Speaker 1: better than ever. Yes, okay, I don't want to keep
29:40
Speaker 1: you long because I know that you're a very busy woman,
29:42
Speaker 1: and I you know, I have to ask you this question.
29:46
Speaker 1: Of the four remaining quarterbacks, Jimmy g Matt Stafford, Joe Burrow,
29:51
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes, We've got a whole lot of personalities in there.
29:54
Speaker 1: You are a fantastic writer on in just like that
29:58
Speaker 1: the Sex and City reboot of all those for who's
30:00
Speaker 1: the carry, who's the Charlotte, Who's the Miranda? And I
30:04
Speaker 1: think I know the answer, and we're gonna put a
30:05
Speaker 1: Samantha Samantha in there. Okay, that's what I think. I
30:09
Speaker 1: think Mahomes is carry, Like, oh okay, yeah, I see that.
30:13
Speaker 1: He's the goat, He's carry. Yeah. I think Burrow is Charlotte.
30:18
Speaker 1: He's innocent, he's young, he's figuring it out. Not I
30:24
Speaker 1: would I think, I mean, I think is Samantha. That's
30:29
Speaker 1: what I would. I come on, this is fussy, Yeah,
30:35
Speaker 1: he's facy means that, which means that, Yeah, Stafford, I
30:40
Speaker 1: guess is Miranda Stafford's Miranda? I mean to me, I started,
30:44
Speaker 1: I started with Mahomes's carry, But Jimmy j is a
30:47
Speaker 1: close like Samantha and then yeah, I don't know. I
30:51
Speaker 1: think I think you nailed it. I think that's exactly
30:53
Speaker 1: who I would have. Let me. Let me ask you
30:55
Speaker 1: a bonus question, who is Baker? And don't say Steve,
30:59
Speaker 1: don't be I think Baker's Harry kind of still figuring it,
31:13
Speaker 1: you don't think so more you get to know him,
31:15
Speaker 1: the hotter he gets. Are you still in on Baker?
31:18
Speaker 1: Are you out? I'm really loyal. I'm still gonna believe
31:24
Speaker 1: he's so fun. I don't know, I'm not I'm not
31:29
Speaker 1: Cleveland fan. He was the reason why he was part
31:32
Speaker 1: of the I mean, you're you have a storied history
31:35
Speaker 1: with Cleveland. You have a beautiful story about your dad
31:39
Speaker 1: and falling in love with the Browns, and um, I
31:42
Speaker 1: fell in love with the Browns because of Baker and
31:45
Speaker 1: because of this team when he first joined, I'm a
31:47
Speaker 1: new leader. Are you out? Yeah? Are you out on Baker?
31:53
Speaker 1: And I'm like, how could I be? He's like kind
31:55
Speaker 1: of part of the reason why I love this team
31:57
Speaker 1: totally for me, Like Bernie Kozar was my Baker and
32:01
Speaker 1: he also he was so good, but he was like
32:04
Speaker 1: kind of slow, I don't know, and it was just like, yeah,
32:06
Speaker 1: I'm all in on Bernie. Get out of here. You can't.
32:09
Speaker 1: You can't look to the end. Pal, I love you
32:11
Speaker 1: so much, thank you so much for doing this. Love you, Reta,
32:15
Speaker 1: I love you. Thank you so much for being the
32:17
Speaker 1: very first guest on bench with Banetta. That is like
32:20
Speaker 1: talk about Hall of Fame shout outs. All right, coming up,
32:25
Speaker 1: we're gonna go to break, but after that we are
32:28
Speaker 1: making some picks. And guys, I went four and oh
32:31
Speaker 1: this past weekend, I don't want to like Breg. I
32:34
Speaker 1: don't know we're for at all. So stay around, stay around,
32:42
Speaker 1: you can fast, stay around, don't go anywhere. We'll be
32:47
Speaker 1: right back. Keep all that in. We'll get all right.
33:01
Speaker 1: So every single week we are going to as long
33:03
Speaker 1: as there's games, we are going to make some early leans,
33:07
Speaker 1: some early predictions. Like I've said, it's Monday, Okay, the
33:10
Speaker 1: lines are set, but they usually move around. We don't
33:14
Speaker 1: know what's going to happen in this upcoming week, but
33:16
Speaker 1: let's make some picks, shall we. Like I said before
33:19
Speaker 1: the break, y hey girl one on four, I don't
33:23
Speaker 1: know this past weekend, which I'm actually really excited about
33:25
Speaker 1: because I have been stinking leading up to that point,
33:27
Speaker 1: And I think that in our trailer we talked about
33:29
Speaker 1: how we are going to make picks every single weekend,
33:31
Speaker 1: and if they're bad, you're only gonna hear when it's good.
33:33
Speaker 1: That's the only time you're ever going to hear about
33:35
Speaker 1: my picks is when I actually did well. Important to notice. Okay,
33:39
Speaker 1: so these games, I feel like I'm worried that we
33:45
Speaker 1: just got spoiled and it's all downhill from here. But
33:49
Speaker 1: how could it be all downhill from here when you
33:50
Speaker 1: have forty nine ers Rams That is going to be
33:54
Speaker 1: a blast. Rams are favored by three and a half.
33:57
Speaker 1: They're playing in Los Angeles. The thing I am most
34:00
Speaker 1: excited about is, like, forget about who's on the field.
34:03
Speaker 1: It is Kyle Shanahan, and it is Sean McVay who's
34:07
Speaker 1: wearing more dippity dew in their hair? Do you guys
34:10
Speaker 1: have dippity dew in the United States? Or is that
34:12
Speaker 1: a Canadian brand? Uh? I don't I don't think so
34:15
Speaker 1: great questions. Sorry, you guys aren't up to code with
34:18
Speaker 1: the gels. I mean, look at my hair. I don't
34:20
Speaker 1: use any I use a little old spice thingy palmade nice. Yeah,
34:25
Speaker 1: we off the Rails here. Um, I am really excited
34:29
Speaker 1: for this one because Sean and Fays never beaten Kyle
34:32
Speaker 1: Shanahan and the Rams are kind of objectively throughout the season,
34:36
Speaker 1: you'd be like, the Rams are a better team than
34:38
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers, But for some reason, Kyle Shanaans
34:41
Speaker 1: just has this like magic little recipe for Sean McVay
34:46
Speaker 1: that he pulls out and I love. Also, I always
34:47
Speaker 1: call this the Bestie Bowl because I love that they're
34:49
Speaker 1: really actually close friends. But it's just so one sided.
34:54
Speaker 1: So either way, no matter who wins, this is going
34:58
Speaker 1: to be incredible because if Kyle Shanahan wins, this forty
35:01
Speaker 1: nine Ers team, I'm sorry, is so fun. Deebo Samuel
35:05
Speaker 1: is an absolute maniac. I don't care what you think
35:09
Speaker 1: about Jimmy Jimmy Interceptions, whatever you want to call him.
35:12
Speaker 1: Jimmy GQ. Did you guys see him rolling up into
35:15
Speaker 1: the game the other day? Oh yeah, I think that
35:17
Speaker 1: picture was in our group chat. The man's is on fire.
35:21
Speaker 1: We talk about Joe Burrows style, like Jimmy GQ was
35:25
Speaker 1: looking sharp and they found a way to win that
35:30
Speaker 1: dang game. So okay, So if the forty nine Ers
35:32
Speaker 1: win great because they are this really fun team. They're
35:34
Speaker 1: probably not supposed to be in the playoffs, but yet
35:36
Speaker 1: they're here and they could make it into a super
35:37
Speaker 1: Bowl again. And then we have the Rams on the
35:40
Speaker 1: other side. They're gonna be at home. Gosh darn it.
35:43
Speaker 1: I went to a Rams Cardinals game that that game
35:46
Speaker 1: on a last Monday. Holy bleepity bleep. Was it loud
35:53
Speaker 1: and in your face? How dare you? How dare you?
35:57
Speaker 1: I had such anxiety, you guys, I'm gonna be honest.
36:00
Speaker 1: Was so loud. It was like rattling my soul. And uh.
36:04
Speaker 1: And they beat the Cardinals, obviously, they beat the freaking
36:06
Speaker 1: brakes off of them. And I went golfing the next
36:09
Speaker 1: day and I was where I had this Rams bucket hat,
36:11
Speaker 1: and I was, I'm so sorry, I'm on, I went
36:13
Speaker 1: golfing without you. I should with my new best bud.
36:17
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to divulge that information. I had a
36:20
Speaker 1: Rams bucket hat on, and I went to go pay
36:22
Speaker 1: and the kind gentleman was just went under his breath.
36:26
Speaker 1: Whose house? And I said, Oh, get out of here,
36:29
Speaker 1: Ram's house. Oh, so that atmosphere is gonna be incredible.
36:35
Speaker 1: And then I could be the first time that Sean
36:37
Speaker 1: mcbabe beats cal Shanny and like, guys, this is gonna
36:40
Speaker 1: be wild. Um, is that your pick? I'm on the
36:43
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. Oh wow. You might think that the
36:46
Speaker 1: Rams have a better team, but you just can't ignore
36:48
Speaker 1: that there's something special going on with this forty Niners team.
36:50
Speaker 1: So I'm on the forty nine Ers. And then we
36:52
Speaker 1: also have Bengals at Chiefs in Arrowhead. Uh, you got
36:57
Speaker 1: Joey b got this like exciting kicker who's on the
37:01
Speaker 1: scene in Evan McPherson. You got Jamar Chase, you got
37:04
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon, you got this defense. Um, but it's Patrick Mahomes,
37:12
Speaker 1: it's Travis Kelsey, it's Andy Reid. Even this this Chief's defense,
37:18
Speaker 1: which for the last few years we have been like,
37:21
Speaker 1: oh my god, poor Patrick Mahomes has to just carry
37:23
Speaker 1: this team. Even the Chiefs defense is alive. Guys, I'm
37:29
Speaker 1: going Chiefs. I'm going Chiefs to win the Super Bowl.
37:32
Speaker 1: At this point, I don't care who they play. I
37:34
Speaker 1: would love to see Joe Burrow in the Super Bowl.
37:37
Speaker 1: How can you say that. I can say that because
37:39
Speaker 1: I am a lover of the Wow, literally, right, before
37:43
Speaker 1: we were recording this podcast, I'm putting you on blast.
37:46
Speaker 1: You said, I love Joe Burrow. I said, don't tell anybody.
37:49
Speaker 1: You didn't say, don't tell, don't I have to root
37:52
Speaker 1: against this guy for fifteen years, but he's got next
37:54
Speaker 1: level magic. This confidences because I honestly don't care who
37:58
Speaker 1: wins this game, because I'm I would be really excited
38:01
Speaker 1: about either team. I'd also be excited about a new,
38:03
Speaker 1: fun super Bowl. Like imagine Bengals Rams Ye lower seeds
38:09
Speaker 1: getting up in there would be super spectacular. Um, I
38:12
Speaker 1: don't think that there is a bad super Bowl at
38:14
Speaker 1: this point. I really don't. True. Um, I think we're
38:17
Speaker 1: gonna get so lucky with whatever we have. And and
38:21
Speaker 1: you know, it's I know it's boring to say the
38:23
Speaker 1: Chiefs in the super Bowl because they've just been so
38:25
Speaker 1: incredible for so many years. But like, you know, we're
38:28
Speaker 1: gonna play some sound coming up in a second with
38:30
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey and Patrick Mahomes talking about the last play there,
38:34
Speaker 1: and it's just you realize how stupidly good this team is,
38:37
Speaker 1: and you want the best. You know, it's all about entertainment.
38:40
Speaker 1: You want to show for the Super Bowl. So uh.
38:43
Speaker 1: And then, last, but not least, let's talk about the
38:46
Speaker 1: MVP for a hot second. I know people have voted,
38:49
Speaker 1: I know it's all said and done. I don't think
38:51
Speaker 1: that this should be a regular season award. Take it
38:55
Speaker 1: to the end of the year, because the most valuable player,
38:58
Speaker 1: your most valuable player is going to make sure that
39:00
Speaker 1: you were in the super Bowl and that you win
39:01
Speaker 1: that Super Bowl. I know that there is also a
39:03
Speaker 1: Super Bowl MVP, but don't you think it just weighs
39:06
Speaker 1: that much more. Then you also have the incredible storylines
39:11
Speaker 1: of the postseason. So I think that it should be
39:16
Speaker 1: an entire season award and also turn it over to
39:20
Speaker 1: the robots. You guys, turn it over to the robots,
39:23
Speaker 1: because people this is for people who don't know the
39:25
Speaker 1: people that vote on the MVP award. They're writers that
39:28
Speaker 1: it's like me and it's like this guy over here,
39:31
Speaker 1: Alfred that's voting on who should win MVP. There's so
39:36
Speaker 1: much I know. I'm sure they probably take the emotion
39:39
Speaker 1: out of it, but there's so much emotion that goes
39:40
Speaker 1: into it. There's Aaron Rodgers is the favorite to win MVP.
39:44
Speaker 1: I'm sure it does he win it. I don't know,
39:46
Speaker 1: because he caused so much drama this year and showed
39:48
Speaker 1: his tootsies on live television. That's What's burned into my brain.
39:51
Speaker 1: That's why I'm not going to vote for him. So
39:55
Speaker 1: hand it over to the robots. Give it to a
39:57
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup, give it to a Jonathan Taylor. I'm tired
39:59
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks win MVP. All right, he's the based Every
40:07
Speaker 1: single week on the show, we are going to pick
40:10
Speaker 1: out some of the things that we heard from the
40:12
Speaker 1: past weekend, some of the things that we saw. I
40:14
Speaker 1: am glued to my phone all weekend. I see every
40:17
Speaker 1: single tweet, what people are saying, what people are talking about.
40:20
Speaker 1: So here are some of our favorite sounds from the weekend.
40:24
Speaker 1: Play this, but this is just insane. Insane. Yeah, when
40:28
Speaker 1: it's grim Reaper. When it's grim, be the grim Reaper.
40:32
Speaker 1: That is what Andy Reid told Patrick Mahomes when he
40:35
Speaker 1: was going out and had thirteen seconds on the clock
40:37
Speaker 1: to do something special. Holy suh mokes, I might get
40:44
Speaker 1: that tattooed on my butt. Actually, grim on my butt.
40:47
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get a tattooed on my arms so everyone
40:49
Speaker 1: can see him. Be inspired. Oh, when it's grimy the
40:51
Speaker 1: grim raper. I freak and love it all right this
40:53
Speaker 1: next one, listen. I mentioned this earlier in the show.
40:57
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey and Patrick Mahomes just put on such a
41:00
Speaker 1: performance in that last thirteen seconds that got them into overtime,
41:03
Speaker 1: and they were talking about it post game, and you
41:05
Speaker 1: realize how insane it actually was. Play the sound and
41:09
Speaker 1: I told him, I'm probably not going to run the
41:12
Speaker 1: route that that it's called. I'm just gonna run to
41:14
Speaker 1: the open area. It was kind of the thing where
41:17
Speaker 1: he wasn't necessarily supposed to do that. But after the
41:19
Speaker 1: time out we got to look at the defense was
41:20
Speaker 1: doing and he actually said it to me. He's like, hey,
41:22
Speaker 1: if they do it again, I'm gonna take I'm gonna
41:24
Speaker 1: take it right down the middle between both the guys
41:25
Speaker 1: guarding me. And he went up the field a game
41:28
Speaker 1: in the ball and he got in field the ring.
41:30
Speaker 1: They're winning the Super Bowl. Sorry, Just amazing that they
41:33
Speaker 1: would just be like, just have so much confidence in
41:35
Speaker 1: each other too, Like what a partnership. Those two have
41:38
Speaker 1: to be on the same page. Like Patrick Mahomes probably
41:41
Speaker 1: had his plane in his mind, Okay, we're gonna do this,
41:43
Speaker 1: and then you see you hear him go kelse, Kelse
41:46
Speaker 1: do it, Kelse do it, and it's like, oh baby,
41:49
Speaker 1: all right, here we go. Just amazing when you when
41:52
Speaker 1: you have thirteen seconds, you just gotta improvise, and that
41:55
Speaker 1: they did, and good thing they did because now we're
41:57
Speaker 1: gonna see them in a super Bowl. All right, guys,
42:00
Speaker 1: We are getting towards the end of our show, which
42:02
Speaker 1: I'm very upset about because this has already been such
42:05

42:31
Speaker 1: man good. Robbie Gold has it away and it is good.
42:41
