• 0:55
  SPEAKER_01: So I've I'll keep my coverage, I like to tell people, and still still living.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_01: But uh yeah, it's pretty hard to believe that it's 43 because it seems like just yesterday I was 23, so crazy how time flies.
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_01: But uh I still act like I'm 23.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_01: So does that count?
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_01: That's right.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, act like that, uh, even though I might be 43.

• 1:18
  SPEAKER_01: Uh another year in the books, man.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_01: I remember when I hit 40, that was such a big deal.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, man, if I can just make it to 40, just make it to 40.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_01: And uh and then I did, of course, that was with the pandemic because I was gonna have a big party and all that sort of stuff, and it didn't work out that way because of the pandemic stuff, but uh, but yeah, that was always my goal, man.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, man, I could just make it to 40 because at that time uh when I moved up here to start, I want to be closer to Birmingham at UAV, my health was failing, and I was getting ready to be put on the trans lung transplant, double lung transplant list at UAV.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_01: And and then uh thanks to the miracle drug that I got in October of 19, I feel like I got a new new lease on life, man.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_01: It's uh my lung functions are up and feeling good, don't cough like I used to.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_01: And just uh it's just uh saved my life pretty much.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_01: And uh yeah, 43 years old, man, 43.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_01: Pretty uh pretty hard to believe.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: That's right.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_00: Well, uh, you know, you didn't you didn't have the big party or anything, but you definitely had a good birthday, it looks like, and want to hear about that.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: But one thing I gotta say is uh thanks to your birthday, we had some big a big sales day on johnnypacker.net.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: Lots of people ordered coffee.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: I believe some people made a post about you and saying happy birthday and saying they had ordered some coffee and looks like it uh inspired some other people to order some coffee.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_00: So I just wanted to let anybody that know that's listen to this that we really appreciate it.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: And if you have no idea what we're talking about, you can go to johnnypacker.net and order some fresh roasted coffee that will ship right to your door.

  SPEAKER_00: And every bag that you order goes to help support our mission to support the cystic fibrosis foundation for more people like Johnny can get the miracle drug and hopefully one of these days find a cure.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's that's the thing.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_01: I I made a post.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, man, if y'all want to do something good for me for my birthday, that'll help not just me, but help other people with CF.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_01: Just simple tasks.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_01: Just go to Johnnypacker.net and buy a bag of coffee.

  SPEAKER_01: So I'm really excited about that.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_01: And and hopefully more people will will spread it.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_01: Because man, we've been spreading the word.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, the word's out there.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_01: We just got to get these people to people to uh to buy.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_01: And uh, and I feel like you know, by doing it, you know, it's going towards a good cause.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_01: I always say it's a win-win deal.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_01: You're helping out people less fortunate because there's still people out there that are in search for that miracle drug, and dollars thrive with fundraising to able to get more uh drugs out there to help people.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_01: So it all adds up in our mission, and uh, and of course, coffee's good stuff, so win-win.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah, we really appreciate it.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_01: Do that.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you all for those who have done it and uh just spread the word.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and one last thing I'll say about that is you know, uh, most people that listen to our show, typically the loyal listeners listen to these episodes where it's just Johnny and I talking.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: So the people that are listening to this episode right now, most people don't listen to all of our episodes unless we have a big athlete that we're interviewing.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_00: We get a lot more downloads for that.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_00: But people listen to these episodes, y'all have been with us for a while.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: So there should be nothing stopping y'all from going to johnnypacker.net and ordering some coffee because we know you follow us, we know you appreciate your supporting us.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_00: So just get on there and support us.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, and um I I I'm glad you said that because I mean I feel like BW, I feel like we do a good job just with just us.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_01: We don't have to have an athlete or guest or famous person, but when we do, those numbers shoot up like like crazy.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_01: But then we want it's just us.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_01: But but uh, like you said, these people that listen to us are the loyal listeners, and they've been with us through uh what we what did we say the other day?
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_01: We've been doing this for three years now.

  SPEAKER_01: So uh really cool.
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_01: We're getting to spread the word about my fight with CF.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_01: I think a lot of people know about it now, and um, and hopefully uh if I made a difference in someone's life, then that that that with my fight, uh that's what my goal is and mission in life is to help others.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_01: We all are put on this earth for a reason to help others and feel like mine is to show the way that I fight with adversity that all I've dealt with in my life and and let people know that it doesn't have to be the CF, it could be anything they're struggling with, just to keep fighting and keep living and and carry on and and uh do what the the the Lord wants you wants you to do.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_01: And that's I feel like that's what he that's the reason why I'm here today and why I'm still thriving at 43.

  SPEAKER_00: Well, uh in a little while we'll get to the predictions of the Super Bowl because that's originally what we were gonna come on here and talk about.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_00: But it'll uh since it's only one game and neither one of us probably are big fans of either team, we probably won't have a whole lot to say about that.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_00: But what I do want to hear about is your birthday because you did have a big birthday yesterday, and uh you had a very uh cool experience, looks like at the hump, and uh met some met some cool people with the athletic department.

  SPEAKER_01: And I've had uh a bucket list.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_01: People probably have heard me talk about that.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_01: One of them was see what uh was to see Duke and North Carolina play each other at Cameron because that's a big, big thing on my that was a big thing on my bucket list on anybody's sports fans bucket list.

  SPEAKER_01: Uh cool story with that.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_01: Went to Cameron and got in there and the ticket I got.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_01: Uh it was just me and my mom went, but she couldn't go to the game because the tickets were so expensive.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_01: So she stayed at the hotel, and I went to the game by myself.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_01: And I was way up in the corner, you couldn't see.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, there was a I was so happy to be there, but there was a beam right in front of me, couldn't see.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_01: And I the whole first half I was looking around, seeing there's a uh open seat, and sure enough, uh there was one.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_01: I went at halftime, went down there.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_01: It's like anybody sitting here, they're like, No, this is a season ticket holder, he didn't show up tonight.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_01: You you're welcome to sit here.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_01: So, man, I sat there, watched that whole second half, like near the court.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_01: Man, I stayed to the very end.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_01: They I had a guy, a cab driver, take me and he gave me the numbers like call me whenever you're ready to pick pick whenever you're ready for me to pick you up.

• 7:57
  SPEAKER_01: And I literally was the last person to leave Cameron indoor.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_01: They turned the lights off and I left.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_01: I was on the court, just soaked in every experience with it and everything.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_01: So so yeah, I've always uh basketball season, I'm a big fan and all that with um and my birthday, so it's all goes hand in hand.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_01: So lots of games I've seen on my birthday, whether at the hump or or something like that.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_01: But and I've sat courtside before at like uh at a New York Knicks game, and I've been to been to LA, been to the been to the Grizzlies game.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, I was there for the Kobe um LeBron last game, got on the court, got the high five Kobe.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_01: So I've done a lot of cool, cool um NBA stuff like on the courts and stuff like that.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_01: But I've never really sat on the court at the hump before.
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_01: When I was telling uh someone a story uh in in 1994, it would have been 30 years ago, I would have been turned 13 years old.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_01: We had uh Mississippi State football basketball game on that day, and my grandparents surprised me with uh courtside tickets.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, some of the uh fan uh friends in Canton had some seats.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_01: Um, the Ayup family.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_01: Um, if you're listening, probably know them.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_01: And Canton, the Ayups had uh some tickets that were near the core.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_01: And at that time it wasn't courtside like we're seeing now.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_01: You're not like on the wood.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_01: Uh it was like right behind there were some gray seats, and that was as close as you can get.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_01: So, anyway, the Ayups let us use our tickets.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_01: And my my granddad and I sat right there, three rows behind the court.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_01: And uh, so I always had this memory in there.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_01: There someone took a picture of that game, and it's on all these publications in the late 90s was uh Mississippi State, you would always see that the hump in that particular game, and I'd always zoom in.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_01: You could see me right there with my granddad.

  SPEAKER_01: He's sitting there with his legs crossed.
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_01: I'm sitting right beside him.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_01: And uh, so that was hard to believe, man.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_01: That was 30 years ago.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_01: And then lo and behold, so me and my mom went uh last night for my birthday and got to sit courtside, and then I got surprised on the Jumbotron with a little message on there uh saying uh happy birthday.

  SPEAKER_01: You know, me we're not Chiefs fans, we're not 49ers fans.
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_01: We've got some Mississippi State Bulldogs uh for the Chiefs, so that's probably who I'll cheer for uh because of uh Chris Jones again.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_01: But man, you know, seems like everyone hated on the Patriots for winning all the time.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_01: And it seems like that's now with the Chiefs.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_01: It seems like they're they're they're the new Patriots, and Moans is the new Brady.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_01: But I'm so sick, and I don't know everybody's listening.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_01: This probably is like will not know what I'm about to say next.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_01: So sick of Taylor Swift, sick of talking about it.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_01: Just don't understand.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, she's all right, I guess.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_01: I don't even I couldn't even name a song by her, but I don't understand what the fascination is with her.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_01: But man, that's all they're gonna talk about.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_01: Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift, it's getting old, man.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_01: It's getting old.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_00: But uh Man, I got a funny story about Taylor Swift.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_00: What's that?
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_00: Um so whenever uh Holly, can't remember when she was coming out, but she had that song.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_00: The her first song was Tim McGraw.
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_00: And my wife and I had got got tickets to go see George Strait at the FedEx Forum, and uh Taylor Swift was opening for George Strait, and she got up there and sang and did that one song, you know, everybody knew.
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_00: And then after she she finished singing, she said, Hey y'all, I'm gonna be out in the lobby.
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_00: If anybody wants to come talk to me, I'll be glad to sign autographs.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_00: Or anybody wants to meet me, I'll be out there.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_00: And there was probably 10 people out there talking to her.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_00: And if she had done that today, I mean it'd be just a mob.
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_00: So it's crazy how things change that quickly.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_01: That is pretty crazy, but uh yeah, their their media just loves her.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_01: I've heard people say that the NFL kind of like caused this thing that they're not really together.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_01: I just I don't like a conspiracy theory.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_01: I don't understand.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know if I believe that or not, but it's definitely crazy how they how they've blown it up with her.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_01: But uh, but as far as the game itself, I think it's actually gonna be a pretty good game.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_01: I think they're the two best teams in football.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_01: And that's kind of what you you know.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_01: Usually we always have this underdog uh Cinderella teams like in the college football playoff last year, for example, and TCU jumped in.
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_01: You know, it's a cool story and everything, but then they get and play Georgia and it was a um they got smoked.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_01: So I don't think that's gonna be the case here.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_01: I think you got the best team in the in the NFC, the 49ers, and obviously the best team in the AFC.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_01: I know people thought it was the Ravens, but uh, but I think the Chiefs until until someone knocks them out, they're kind of like the they're the reigning champs.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_01: And Mahomes obviously is the best player and best quarterback in the NFL.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_01: And and uh I I can't go again against the Chiefs, PW in this game.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_01: Uh they got the Swifties on their side.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_01: People saying it was Super Bowl Swifty eight, uh Kansas Swifty Chiefs.
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, they got they got her by the side, and I don't think they're gonna I don't think they're gonna lose.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_01: But uh I don't know.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_01: I've been proven wrong before, but uh I if I had to take a guess, I'm gonna say the Chiefs are gonna roll with another another Super Bowl.
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_01: And if they win this thing, man, what was it?
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_01: They they played in Brady beat them in um that was on my birthday.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_01: My that was my 40th birthday, BW, uh 2021, when the Brady and uh and Mahomes went at it, and Brady won that one.
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_01: And then the next year, um Joe Burrow made it from the AFC um against the Rams.
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_01: And then last year the Chief uh Chiefs beat the Eagles and now Chiefs 49.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_01: So this is what three times, yeah, three times in the past four years.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_01: So they got quite a dynasty they're they're building up there in in Kansas City.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_01: So um, man, I think it actually will be a close game, though.
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think they'll I don't think either team is gonna run away with it.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_01: Um I if I had to pick a final score, I'm gonna say Kansas City 27 and San Fran 17.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna say a 10-point game by the Chiefs.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_01: What's your prediction on that?
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_00: It's funny, Johnny.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_00: Um I thought the whole year that the Ravens were the best team in the AFC.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_00: And it kind of reminded me of the Georgia uh Alabama game when just I mean, Alabama just came out and and dominated Georgia and just kind of came out of nowhere.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_00: And I was I was surprised by that.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_00: I mean the Ravens couldn't do anything, they looked horrible.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_00: And they seem to have a track record of that.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_00: And I don't know if it's it's the coach, if it's Lamar Jackson or what it is, but um for whatever reason they they seem to do that every year.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_00: And uh, you know, kind of like you know, almost like the Cowboys, Cowboys look good in the regular season, then they just get the playoffs and they just stink it up.
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_00: So every year, every year.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_00: But um, you know, so so I could see the scenario being the Chiefs are kind of like Alabama, and Alabama, you know, obviously got beat by Michigan.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_00: And then going to the 49ers, you know, friend of the program Don King, if you're listening, he's he's the only 49er fan that I really know.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_00: Uh he's always been a 49er fan.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_00: And I guess we could say he's a bandwagon fan because back in the 80s and 90s, they were they were the team when we were growing up.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_00: And I always I couldn't stand them because every year it was the same deal as like the Chiefs.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_00: They were in the Super Bowl, they were winning Joe Montana.
• 19:22
  unknown: Right.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_00: And then they got that one in the 90s.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_00: I remember King had that uh t-shirt he used to wear around all the time.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_00: It was the championship, was it 94, 95?
• 19:32
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I guess it was the year before the Cowboys won it a couple years in a row, maybe the 49ers beat the Chargers in that Super Bowl.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_01: I think you're thinking about it.
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, that's right.
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_00: Thirty years ago.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_00: Gosh, man.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_00: So, anyways, for whatever reason, I just I never liked the 49ers that always cheer against them, even though I really like Jerry Rice, and you know, he's a Mississippi guy, and I think he's got a cool story.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_00: But I just I cannot cheer for the 49ers.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_00: I for whatever reason it just goes against every bone in my body.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_00: But I feel like they're probably gonna pull it off this year.
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_00: Um I think it's gonna be a close game, but I I feel like they're gonna figure it out.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_00: I I think Shanahan is a good coach, and he's uh I don't know, he's I think he's gonna pull it off.
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_00: Now, the I guess the wild card's gonna be Purdy, the young, young quarterback, can he perform under the pressure?
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_00: So far he's been pretty good, but I'm gonna give it to the 49ers 35-27.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_00: And I think it comes down to the last possession.
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_00: I think maybe Chiefs get the ball and can't put it in or something like that at the end.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_01: See, I'm opposite with you on that because I think if the Chiefs get the ball, I think Mahomes is gonna show off again about being the new Brady.
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_01: I think he's gonna have a comeback at the end.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_01: So so we're on different spectrums of that.
• 20:51
  SPEAKER_01: So one of these things, one of these things is gonna happen.
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_01: But I just uh I I I I think I think it's gonna be a good game.
• 20:57
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I think we're in store for a good one, which is good.
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_01: You know, we don't you don't want to see a blowout, and I feel like that's gonna happen, but I just I just think Mahomes, man, I I think he's the next.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, he I mean he at this rate, if he's going right now, he's he's performing better than Brady as far as Super Bowls and championships and all that sort of stuff.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_01: So I mean, and he's only what is this?
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_01: Didn't you tell me one time the Saints could have a chance at drafting Mahomes?
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_01: I think so.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, uh it's crazy.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_01: So he hadn't been in the league that long, and so he's got a huge free.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, he's the first battle in Hall of Famer right now, in my opinion.
• 21:29
  SPEAKER_01: Uh yeah, uh if he if he gets another one, man, then I mean it we're gonna see another dynasty.
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_01: We're already seeing one, um, just like the Patriots.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_01: But I think it's weak game regardless.
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_01: I'm really excited about the commercials.
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_01: Uh that's always a fun thing.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_01: What type of commercials they show.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, it's uh it's gonna be one one other thing on the game.
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_00: Uh I was listening to something the other day, and it was talking about like human performance and how some people whenever there's a a challenge like fourth quarter, end of a football game, Super Bowl, you know, ninety percent of people are just gonna like fold up and be too nervous and they they can't they crack under pressure.
• 22:14
  SPEAKER_00: But people like Tom Brady, it's like he could be having the worst game ever.
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_00: And then at the end of that game something changes in his body and they've done like research and studies on this and it's just like no matter what, you can't stop him.
• 22:29
  SPEAKER_00: And I feel like Mahomes has some of that in him because you know they weren't really that great all year.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_00: And then they got it they got under pressure in the playoffs and he turned it on.
• 22:40
  SPEAKER_00: So you could be right.
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_00: I mean he could be it could be hard to stop him so we'll see.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_00: But um talking about those commercials I'm excited.
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_00: I think I saw something there's gonna be a new twister movie and there's supposed to be a trailer for the twister wow during the during there.
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_00: So I love that old movie.
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_00: The Twister.
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_00: I used to like that twister ride at Universal Studios.
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah definitely yeah yeah there's gonna be a uh I think there's gonna be a state forum agent with um Arnold Schwarzenegger on I don't know what that's all about but uh on an interview the other day he's saying it's not it's a movie it's a movie but it's really a commercial I said I don't know what that's about so that's gonna be entertaining but yes Super Bowl commercials are always fun.
• 23:21
  SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm I'm just gonna be there for the commercials and the food.
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_01: Yep yep but talking about the goats like Mahomes and Brady and all that we're talking about I saw her tonight and I mentioned it earlier about being uh courtside I was there for the last game for uh LeBron versus Kobe and I got to fist pump Kobe Bryant when he came out of the uh locker room cool one of the coolest moments I've ever had uh just unbelievable experience getting to do that and uh I don't know if you saw the news today but the uh they unveiled the new uh Kobe Bryant statue outside yeah yeah so uh I think the game's going on right now I'm about to about to turn on see what's what's happening but uh yeah that's uh that's gonna be interesting to to see how that uh comes out and that was cool that they're doing it I don't know if you heard about this BW but they're doing it on 2824 which is today's date as we record this uh two as in Kobe's daughter was number two that when she passed that was her number and then you remember Kobe had two numbers he was eight first part of his career and 24 second part of his career so that's why they did it 2824 uh on that and uh yeah so I I see I just got back from the women's game so I'm exhausted to turn on TV and see what all the hoopla was about the uh unveiling the statue because I did see on the uh social media what it looked like and it looks freaking awesome and you know it'll be there with magics and creams and and shacks and all this all of them so it'll be uh it'll be interesting to see but yeah that that was such a cool moment back then back that was in 2016 uh getting to do that just that was a highlight bucket list type moment for me and getting to do that and then and and then unfortunately you know he passed in 2020 just so sad and uh whole whole situation so uh I'm glad that they're honoring him and uh with that uh with that statue because he he he's it just got me thinking about that since we're talking about Brady and Holmes and goats and all that sort of stuff but yeah but uh yeah a lot of fun and like I said the the court side that's always fun getting to do that so yeah it was a good birthday BW 43 you'll be you'll be uh I'm I'm a little bit older than you now but you'll be catching before too long we'll be talking about college football again you'll be celebrating one so it's crazy how time goes but uh but yeah uh thank you all for listening and thank you for going to johnnypacker.net and uh thank you for the birthday shout outs and all that sort of stuff and uh and thanks for the loyal listeners like you said we don't have an athlete on this on this podcast and so I'm not expecting to get hundreds and hundreds of downloads like the other ones but uh the ones that are listening to it we really appreciate it because without y'all uh we we'd be talking to ourselves so so uh yeah just just uh please share it with people family friends johnnypacker.net code store is a great cause simple and you're doing something good and you're getting something good in return so uh helps out a lot and can't wait to um to watch the Super Bowl and we might have to get back on here and see I know we one year I think meet BW that that year with Mahomes and Brady we had a little bet between us I I don't know what to bet on this one but uh we might have to get back on here and and and see who's uh who who results uh what the results came out to be uh in your favor my favor as far as the score predictions but uh a lot of fun but sad that the football over with but me too duty noble friday next friday can't wait it'll be here before we know yeah and y'all go back and listen to the Tanner Allen episode if you didn't you didn't catch that one that's a really good one yeah TF talks about uh he gives he give you know it's crazy he said that this year's team 2024 is more talented than the 2021 team hard to believe that he said that I couldn't believe he said that I know because that 2021 team and he talks about this in the interview go back and listen to it guys he talks about how close knit that 2021 team was that they're a family and this team doesn't really have that yet he thinks that it will happen but they're just so talented right now and they can all click and get together and get that same bond that that 21 team has then watch out.
