Today is Monday, February 14th. Happy Valentine's Day.
I love you, PFT. I love you too, Big Cat.
I love you guys. I love all you guys.
We should actually, I'll do that again because I feel bad for the Rams fans out there. Today is Monday, February 14th and the Los Angeles Rams are your Super Bowl champions.
Clap it up for the Rams. Alright.
Good job, Rams. Good job, Rams.
It very happy for you yeah we're yeah we're one big ramley here uh no we were obviously rooting for the bangles and you'll forgive us if our voices are hoarse we've been on the road we're in la bear's casino and resort and in lake charles louisiana beautiful but our our voices do sound like we've been just sucking on machine guns and gasoline. Yeah.

Which is pretty close to what we've been actually doing.

I woke up this morning and I was like, ooh, my voice sounds better.

It doesn't, but it sounds better than it did.

So at least I'm on the mend.

But yeah.

Not me.

I'm sucking down these jewels like water.

Super Bowl 56.

A great game.

Thrilling game.

Felt a little incomplete at the end, but let's break it all down um we should start with the super bowl champion rams incredible performance by them uh all in obj gets hurt it felt like that that was i mean the first half the rams felt like they had a really good offensive game plan and obj was wide open it's hard to cover both those guys he gets hurt their offense starts to putter in the second half their defense was absolutely incredible in the second half and that defensive line like we had our dude offs and guy off guy off sorry guy off and you know that like the thing that comes out of the Super Bowl every year is like, oh, what's the blueprint? How do they do this? Well, they had Cooper Cup and they had Aaron Donald. And they had two guys that were insanely, insanely good and completely took over the game in the fourth quarter when they needed it the most.
And it's like, can you do the Rams model? Well, can you get Aaron Donald, who's one of the greatest defensive players of all time,

and Cooper Cup, who I'll have to like,

we'll do an extended cleanup on Wednesday,

but I would say off the top of my head,

he's up there now with greatest wide receiver seasons of all time.

This season, yeah.

Yeah, in terms of his regular season and then what he did in the playoffs

and what he did in that fourth quarter when it was pretty much they can't run the ball even though Sean McVay thought they could and they had like a couple guys that could maybe catch it back but it was Cooper Cup it was Cooper Cup the whole defense knew it was Cooper Cup Cooper Cup knew it was Cooper Cup the whole world knew it was going to Cooper Cup and you still couldn't stop Cooper Cup yeah I mean the Bengals had everything that they needed to have happen for them uh they had the special teams mix up that that could have been a very costly missed extra point right uh they had turnovers Matt Stafford did a couple Matt Stafford things uh and then they had a big game uh at times from some of their wideouts and some big plays that went in there now people are saying that was offensive pass interference i say that if you're a los angeles rams fan you probably the statute of limitations is still underway of you not being allowed to complain about missed pass interference calls in the playoffs well it's more even in this game i you know we joke about nfl rigged everyone loves to call nfl rake nfl rigged it was i called it i called it twice it was weird that the game had basically no penalties the only penalty was that dude on the on the bengals who like don't get on the plane because with with uh what two minutes left matt safford throws a pick in the end zone he's this guy's on injury i don't know who it was but he was he's on injured

reserve he's not in the uniform he runs onto the field you're not dressed to the super bowl and you

managed to get your team a 10 yard penalty that is all time all time bad did he have a he so he

was not even wearing a uniform so when they announced the penalty were they like up uh

sportsman like conduct male sweatshirt wearing gray hoodie. Yes.
Yes. And they zoomed in on him.
That was like the Homer Simpson gif in real life. Like, get the fuck out of here.
Do you think that there's a more disliked player in the NFL than Eli Apple? Oh. Because they picked on him, and it was like every single player

that was watching the game, current players,

were just roasting the fuck out of him.

Like he was getting just dragged by guys that are like the third wide out

on some of the worst teams.

Right.

He's got like a big target on his back, not only from quarterbacks

who just pick on him all the time,

but for anybody that he's ever matched up against.

Yes.

Mikko Hartman just tweeted multiple times.

He said, wish it was a better corner than the game-winning touchdown

I don't know. quarterbacks who just pick on him all the time, but for anybody that he's ever matched up against.
Yes. Meikle Hartman just tweeted multiple times.

We said,

wish it was a better corner than winning.

Then the game winning touchdown wouldn't have been scored on you.

And then after he tweeted just a video of his Superbowl ring,

it's cool,

big bro.

You might get one of these one day in the meantime, just go get better at your craft.

I mean,

the Apple cup cloud,

the Apple cup matchup was,

it was actually more one-sided than the actual Apple cup. Yeah.
so so the penalties though so that guy gets the penalty um there were three others there was four penalties total in the first 58 minutes of the game 58 minutes of the game uh our guy from stat whole sports tweeted out that in the last 22 years there were only 10 games in which there were four or less penalties in the first 58 minutes and two or more penalties on a team in the final two minutes again i don't think you can say nfl rigged here because what the argument would be that the bangles got screwed at the end of the game well jalen ramsey that was a face mask that that long touchdown was a face mask the bangles got away with one i have no with it. It just sucks when you watch a whole game with no refs involved.

And I think the moment becomes big.

Guys hold a little more because they're worried about giving up a touchdown.

But it did suck that the game ended with a flurry of penalties down at the goal line.

Now, that being said, it is fun to say NFL rigged.

Correct.

And I completely support everybody's right to do so.

I actually think there's going to be a compilation.

Someone's going to make a compilation. I love it when fans do these of the cherry-picked NFL rigged moments from a game.
We should make a clip where it shows all the Bengals' complaints about NFL rigged and then just put the clip of that long touchdown in and then just say, like, this is a great call. And then just move on.
Be honest about your biases in this. It was honestly a fun game.
The NFL had a great postseason, and it was a good Super Bowl. The only bad part, and listen, yeah, I'm going to sound like a hater about the Rams because I did want the Bengals to win, but the Rams are a bad team to have to go through seven months after the Super Bowl is over where it's like, oh, yeah, the Rams won the Super Bowl.
If the Bengals were the reigning Super Bowl champion,

that would make the offseason like a little spicier, a little fun.

Of course.

But let's just say the Rams were the best team.

Yes, they were the best team in the NFL this year.

They played like a complete, you know, they had some moments where they were down.

They had a couple swoons there.

They righted the ship.

Think about their playoffs.

Like they went, they kicked the shit out of the Cardinals so much so that kyler murray like wants to be off the team that's how bad they killed the cardinals they went to tampa bay they slayed the dragon and tom brady made him retire made him retire when they were trying to give the game away they then beat the boogeyman and kyle shanahan in the 49ers and then they beat the bengals who the bengals were a really good team team themselves like the Rams are a like I'm walking away from this season not being like oh man feels like the best team didn't win at all but no the Rams are the best team yeah for sure they're the best they were the best team and I want to get ahead of the take because someone's about to drop this one does the NFL have a super team problem because the last two Super Bowls yeah were won by super teams well it's I mean it's credit to them for keeping it it all together. And like Vaughn Miller already said he's going to test free agency.
It's going to be hard. This is – I don't even want to do this because I don't want to do it to Rams fans being like, oh, well, you went all in.
Flags fly forever. They deserve all the credit in the world.
Let's do it on Wednesday's show then. We'll list the free agents on Wednesday's show.
But for the fact that the Rams basically said this is our window like obviously in retrospect the Stafford trade makes a lot of sense because they won the Super Bowl but it was ballsy at the time you know you're taking a chance on a guy who hasn't won a playoff game who's had a good a very good career but it hasn't had a lot of winning seasons and they went all in and they said you know they have Aaron Donald they went and got OBJ they they got Von Miller like all these moves where they don't have the depth they don't have the the the cap flexibility they don't have the draft picks going forward none of it matters because any fan in the world would take a Super Bowl ring and having to deal with whatever comes after that like that's not how it works it's not like oh man they're fucked for the future doesn't matter they have this ring they were the best team this year and they deserve all the credit yeah as far as super teams go this super team was actually built correctly in a really smart way in a way that paid off in the final game of the season like obj was awesome he got way better after he got out of cleveland i think that we were all like you know we, we were making fun of the free OBJ movement. But at the time, there were some real issues about OBJ and the way that he was playing in Cleveland.
But he came up huge in the last, like, two months of the season. I think he led the team in touchdowns over the last five or six games.
And in the Super Bowl, he came up big. And when they got Vaughn Miller, that's exactly why you why you get Von Miller.
Because Aaron Donald's getting double teamed and triple teamed. And you can't block Von Miller one-on-one.
And then once Von Miller gets three sacks, what do they do? They have to start chipping on him. Moving the protection.
Leonard Floyd, bear for life. Yeah, then what happens with Aaron Donald? At that point, he just gets fucking unleashed and comes up the middle.
It actually worked perfectly the way that designed the super team also we i don't even know why we're like uh like explaining this like everyone knows who's listening to this podcast we're the biggest rams podcast in the world yeah we've always thought they were the course there's well we had them we joked about it being like haha the rams stink they're soft we knew they were the best team that was a joke it was a bit big cat as huge St. Louis sports fans on this podcast, we naturally root for the Rams.
Shout out to Stan Kroenke. Could have happened to a better guy.
Stan Kroenke, class act through and through. All-time great guy.
It's nice to see, you know, sometimes in this league, the owners, you know, it's always like a big boogeyman, a guy that only cares about the money winning. With Stan Kroenke, it is about the Ram.
Yeah. And he did it for you guys.
I do love when Rams fans are like, you guys never gave us credit. Like, I hate to break it to you, but we are biased.
Yeah. We are biased.
A million percent. We are not.
We don't cover the league fairly. I apologize.
We're not going to break down all 32 rosters and be like, who's the good players on these teams? We're very biased. We root for what we root for.
A lot of times it's just our bets. This time it was Joe Burrow.
What do you want us to do? Yeah, I don't think that anybody could tell us to do it a different way. Why would we root against Joe Burrow in this situation? We would actually be the world's biggest assholes.
Right, or Kittle. If we were like, go Rams.
Right. Beat the fuck out of our friend Joe.
Yeah. Or Kittle last week.
Or Kittle. Yeah, exactly.
So listen, we're very, I'm pretty sure that we've advocated for Matthew Della Vadova to get an NBA MVP at some point. So if you listen to the show thinking that you're going to get smarter, you go, there are a million other choices that you can listen to.
Matthew Stafford should come on the show. I guess what age like a fine wine, the rare take by me because there's very very few times I'm actually like say something and you can go three years down the line and be like oh wow that actually went well Matthew Stafford's gonna be a hall of famer it's almost it's almost automatic now yeah because he has it he had like he all the stats are there and then he's got the ring that's it like if put him now, if he plays three, four more years, pick a quarterback with one Super Bowl.
He's going to have a better resume overall. You know how else you can tell if a quarterback is going to win or if a quarterback is going to go to the Hall of Fame? It's actually very simple to tell if he's won a Super Bowl, if he's played for 10 years, and if his signature moments involve camera shots of their wife in the stands jumping up and down.
Yes. If their wife becomes, like, a person that they zoom in on, talk about, discuss, at that point, it's like, this is the Hall of Famer.
Aaron Rodgers. Hasn't happened to him.
I think, actually, there's a chance Kelly Stafford gets in the Hall of Famer herself. Sure.
Peter King might vote for her. Put him.
Bonk on you, Peter. Put them all in.
Does he like her? No, I don't know. Yeah, he does't know yeah he does horny though yeah peter king is a very horny man low-key extremely when he's not housing him in and out what do you guys should we address the dead gorilla in the room yeah probably that's fucked up we uh we alluded to it on friday's show when we talked to cj and evan that i um had a shirt that is it's a terrible's a shirt for sickos.
PFT's wearing it right now just to show everyone what not to wear. Yeah, no, do not buy the shirt.
I'm serious. I'm disgusted with myself for wearing this.
Yeah, so it's Sean McVay standing over dead Harambe. Very graphic.
Sean McVay's wearing the backpack. He's the kid in Harambe's cage.
Yeah, so he's the kid with the backpack. And Triggs, our incredible graphic designer, he actually tweeted out the text exchange that we had, whatever it was, it was like a week or two ago.
And I just said to him, can you make a shirt with a little kid standing over a dead Harambe and the kid has rams gear on maybe in the enclosure actually make the kid sean mcveigh yeah that was it we we planned this shirt on the way on the walk back from the jackass movie yeah yeah right it was like all right this is going to be hilarious let's just fucking i mean listen we but you felt bad when you i felt bad the minute i said it i this is bad. But in honesty, in all honesty, a little peek behind the curtain, I think the financial term is over-leveraged.
We were over-leveraged in Cincinnati Harambe shirts. And just Cincinnati shirts in general.
Yeah, and Cincinnati shirts in general. So we had to diversify our Harambe funds and make sure we had both dead and alive.
Or actually, they were both dead. Heaven and hell Harambe.
No, we're maximizing our assets in Harambe by passing them along to other things that we're trying to move. We're just trying to put Harambe.
Let's see how much stuff we can put Harambe in over the course of the next six months. It's a sick shirt.
It's so sick. I told Allison, who does a great job with our T-shirts, is like, do not tweet this from any of the main accounts because like we will get cancelled I can tweet it, PFT can tweet it we can be like, part of my take can tweet it being like this is a sick shirt you're a pervert if you wear it I just saw it like in my flash in my head where it's like a hit piece gets written about us like Barstool Sports thinks Harambe's death is funny I mean it is but whatever I was just thinking the famous picture of Harambe where he's like leaning over to the side.
We could make a fire Cincinnati Reds shirt with that where he's a catcher and he's in like the crouch position and there's a mitt in front of him. He's got like a backwards Reds head on.
I'm telling you, the window right now, it's very small. So we need to really, really maximize and wring every last cent out of this dead gorilla.
It was a renaissance? If they won, it would have been the summer of Harambe all over again. Oh, it would have been incredible.
I don't know. I mean, also just Bengals fans.
We saw Roan is in Cincinnati and his tweets about, you know, how the city is acting and reacting to this is very, very sad. It's kind of like when Harambe died.
Yeah, but every single bar is packed.

Right.

It wasn't when Harambe died?

Not like this.

I guarantee you there was at least one.

There was a Harambe bar crawl.

Yes, for sure.

I think we did one, didn't we?

Probably.

Yeah, the Harambe shirt PFT is wearing.

It is on sale.

Don't buy it unless you're a real sicko.

No, just don't buy it.

A pervert.

Do not even look at it. You're basically walking around being like, hey, I'm a sick fuck I'll tell you what, I will donate An amount of money to a gorilla rescue network To offset You'll double it and I'll match that So this is actually net positive for the gorilla community Perfect Credit to us I've got a couple dumb questions let me do an ad real quick

Dumb questions. All right, dumb question.
Is Sean McVay the shortest head coach to ever win a Super Bowl? The only one I could think of is maybe Jimmy Johnson. He's a little guy.
But I think it's fair to say Sean McVay is the smallest head coach to ever win a Super Bowl. I think McVay's smaller.
He might be. He's littler.
I don't know about the exact height. I think Sean McVay, we can look at the pictures and triangulate them from when we got to interview him, but I'm pretty sure he's my exact height, which is five nine what about vince lombardi i feel like vince lombardi was a pretty pretty small guy but he was thick though he was thick he was dumb thick real dumb thick yeah the trophy is actually modeled after his cock that ass didn't quit everyone knew vince lombardi's ass never quit um and then i had another dumb question um that i probably could have looked up.
Is this the first time that a Joe, a starting quarterback named Joe, has ever lost the Super Bowl? Because there are a lot of Joes that have won over the years. Joe Montana, Joe Flacco, Joe...
Wait, I have the stat. Hold on.
You got the Joe stat? Yeah. I know Matt's were 0-1 going into this.
Matthew. And I believe Joe's were 4-0, but I'm going to double check.
No, they had to have been 5-0. No, they had to be 6-0.
6-0. Joe.
Yeah. Joe Montana had 1-4.
Joe Quacko 1-1. And Joe Namath 1-1.
Yeah. I think this is the first Joe loss.
Now, 7-0. 7-0? 7-0.
I don't know about the O. I'm finding.
You're finding what? The O? Who's the seven? Matts are O and two. Joe's are seven and two.
Seven and two? Who are the two losses? I don't. Can you find them? Sure.
It's very important. I mean, that's.
I will. Let's just stop the podcast until we can figure out who these.
Do another ad. Loser Joe's are.
Do another ad. Ever had one of those days when it's just too cold to keep working? Nah, neither has Ariat.

And whether whatever in Ariat work year.

We forgot Joe Theismann.

So Joe Theismann's one and one.

That's right, yeah.

So it was Joe Namath, four for Joe Montana, Joe Theismann won one, and then Joe Flacco.

So that's your seven.

Okay.

That makes sense.

Got it.

And then your losers are Joe Theismann lost one, and then Minnesota Vikings quarterback in Super Bowl four, Joe Cap lost the Super Bowl. That's Cap.
Yeah, his name became funny. So there's your seven and two on Joe's.
Now, Matt's, what did you say? Is it one and two? Now they're one and two. They gotta be one.
Now they're one and two, yep. Now they're one and two.
Who's the other two? Who's the other one? Ryan. And? Did Matt Hasselbeck? Yeah.
Matt Hasselbeck. For the Seahawks? There you go.
Matt Hasselbeck. All right.
You didn't know that. The monkey's off the mat.
All right. So there's your Joe and Matt update that everyone was looking for.
Yeah. Aaron Donald is going to sell so many fucking sports drinks of whatever sports drink he's selling Pat Cavanaugh shout out yeah he's an all-time guest he the way that he took over the second half that's that's why Aaron Donald is Aaron Donald for everybody that forgets about him from time to time because he does get double and triple team he just wrecked everybody's shop there's no way that you can possibly game plan for Aaron and the Bengals in the first half had a really good game plan it was what we all kind of thought they were going to do a lot of quick passes don't let the pass you know like get the ball out fast um they had a couple run plays that were okay they ran the ball like there was a few times where they they ran for you know 10 yards but overall it wasn't neither team was really running the ball but as like it just was a time thing it was kind of like the 49ers game where it was like okay first half you did well like you were able to block a little bit they didn't get home that much and then the second half that was the that was where the game flipped because the second half starts obviously with the long touchdown for the Bengals and then Matt Stafford throws an immediate pick another field goal goal for the Bengals, right? So they're what? What was it? It was 20 to 13.
20 to 13. Yeah, right.
The Rams couldn't move the ball. There was that stretch where they just couldn't move the ball.
They were trying. McVay, I love sports because we all live so much in the moment.
Yeah, profound. We all live so much in the moment.
There was a moment there in the third quarter where McVay was getting trashed and rightfully so because it was run run third and long pass fuck we're punting again and the game could have been like that was where the game could have easily gone south for the Rams they had uh I think they had three they had three three and outs three three and outs in a row in in the second half like if the Bengals can can convert any of those four points even a field goal they win the Super Bowl instead the Rams were able to answer with their defense kept them in it and it felt like like there was somewhere around the late third quarter where you're like all right this is essentially just coming down to can the rams put together one drive and that's what they did they put together one drive in the second half that i guess they had a field goal as well but they put together that long drive to end the game in the fourth quarter where it was like cooper cup was making every play matt stafford oh my god another sliding doors moment If the Rams don't win that game, that pass that he missed in the back of the end zone. Bad.
Would have haunted him forever. Bad.
Forever. Also, one thing we don't talk about enough when it comes to Matthew Stafford is he's a tough motherfucker.
He's really tough. Like he's dealt with a lot of injuries.
Oh, yeah. I remember it was his rookie season maybe in Detroit where he like separated his shoulder and the trainers came over to him.
Against the Browns. Yeah, he pushed him away and was like, no, get off me, get off me.
And then he goes out on the field, throws a touchdown. He is tough as fuck.
And when his ankle got rolled up tonight, I thought there's no way that he's going to be able to play on that. It was bad.
It was one of those things where my foot, your foot, probably we just left. It would have come off clean in a shoe.
I should cut my foot off. There would have been a shoe inside of a foot.
Bring the curtain out and shoot me like a horse. Yes, tarp it.
Tarp it up. He's a tough motherfucker, and he battled through it, and he played well when it counted.
Also, Joe Burrow is a tough motherfucker too because I think that there's like a decent chance that he had a torn ACL. Yeah.
And then he's playing in the second half of the fucking super bowl with a torn ACL and playing pretty decently and even on that last play where donald got to him there was there was a moment when the ball was fluttering through the air where i was like holy shit joe's gonna complete this pass why was joe mixon not in the game there oh yeah they put perine in yeah no idea that was that was dumb and i i just feel like you gotta have your best players in the in in that moment like they'll probably look back the super bowl isn't lost one or lost on one play but that one and man bangles like having second and one in that situation because even when joe burrow gets the ball when the bangles get the ball back after the cooper cup touchdown it's 23 20 and there's like a minute and a half left they have two two timeouts everyone was like all right this is going to be tough because obviously the rams defense has been incredible but that first play to jamar chase that he rips off like a 25 yard uh up the sideline on on like a seven yard pass he just gets extra yards you're like okay this is like bare minimum they're gonna have a chance for a long field goal and then they get that second and one and i don't know if it was i guess it's the right call because you have second and one to try to take a shot deep but there was no one there and then third down they run the ball which they weren't able to do they weren't good like on those short yardages all season i spent and then especially against a rams defensive line that was just crushing their offensive line,

and it comes like, man.

You'll think back to that second and one.

You have second and one.

If you get 10 more yards, you have a pretty good chance.

Evan McPherson, from what we've seen,

is kicking a 60-yarder and making that.

Yeah.

Can we just say, I think the Bengals,

we can officially declare that they have nothing

to hang their heads about? No. I think that their heads are held high right now.
I love it when announcers say that. Like, they should hold their heads high.
It's like, no, they probably feel like shit because they just lost the Super Bowl. But the good news if you're a Bengals fan is, I don't think that the Bengals are a fluke at all.
I think that they're a well-built team, and they're probably going to be pretty good for a while, hopefully, if they can stay healthy. The Rams were just the best team in the nfl like you said they were the best team when they were playing at their best all season yep they were the best team they had a couple swoons a couple moments where it's like are they good on special teams can they run the ball turns out that they were good enough at everything else where they didn't need to be able to run the ball and they didn't need to be that great at special teams here's like like boiling down the game the Bengals don't like they were a very worthy adversary they deserved to be in the Super Bowl they almost fucking won the Super Bowl but think about the fact that the Rams the Bengals outgained the Rams per play and also it was 2-0 in turnovers and the Rams still found a way to win that's how good the Rams are.
They're really fucking good teams. And, like, as a Rams podcast, we're happy for them because you know we've been talking about them all year.
Very happy for them. Didn't we say that at the beginning of the season? It's going to be Rams? We said put a pin in this team.
Rams. This team is built for success.
Don't even watch the season. Rams.
Yeah, I think I said, like, this team is built like a football team. It should be not like some of these other basketball teams out there.
Right. They go out and play football.
These guys, these football players, they play football. They play football, and they do it well.
We did, to our credit, we did say that they lead the league in guys. Oh, yeah.
I heard nobody else say that. That's true.
We've been calling that for weeks now, that they have more guys than any other team. As first reported by us, also, if we want to do a quick couple first reports uh our very own insider ben mince has reported that andrew whitworth is going to retire uh incredible run probably a hall of famer i don't know what it will end up being like because i think he had like three all pros ends though all-time career where he goes last game at LSU, national championship, last game in the NFL, Super Bowl champion,

and he also won Walter Payton, man of the year.

I would think that he would be a Hall of Famer,

but this is also the Tom Brady, Big Ben year.

Like, if I was a player that was thinking about maybe retiring,

I was a borderline Hall of Famer, I would just wait for a little bit.

I'd maybe go to training camp next year and then say, not for me. Who gets in the Hall of Fame first, Matthew Stafford or Aaron Rodgers? Probably Matthew Stafford.
Matthew Stafford. Matthew Stafford.
Yeah. Because Aaron probably won't be allowed in due to his vaccination status.
Yeah, that's true. That's true.
That would have been very funny if Aaron Rodgers had actually not played in the Super Bowl, if the Packers had made it there. You know, that, like, unfounded report.
I think Boomer Siason said it or somebody like that that just kind of made it up. It would have been very funny, though, if he had just been like, no, I'm not going out to that lib hell hole.
I'm not doing it. L.A., fuck that town.
What do you think about the suit? Yeah, well, I'll give Aaron Rodgers some credit. He won his, what, fourth MVP.
He wears a loss for, for for like a few months and i like that's he does get credit for that he looks awful yeah it affects his face yeah like his eyes sink in a little bit his hair gets a little greasier yeah his suits get a little browner he did look like he was a like the sleaziest used car salesman yeah he looked like he should have been in Fargo. What else? So Odell Beckham deserves credit.
He got that touchdown. He was unguardable for the quarter and a half he played.
I saw Salty Browns fans trying to spin zone their way out of it. Even that one tweet that was maybe the worst tweet that's ever been tweeted where it was Odell Beckham crying, and it said, when you don't do anything on the class project but still get an A, he scored a touchdown in the Super Bowl and also was unguardable.
Yeah, he was dominant. He was absolutely dominant.
He was on his way to like 150 yards. Yes, he was fucking lights out.
He got an injury, a non-contact injury that could have happened to anybody. And they're like, yeah, they're just, you know how sports fans get, though they'll take any excuse.
That's, Big Cat, you would absolutely do that. Yeah, of course.
Yeah, no, you gotta be biased. If Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdowns in the first half of the Super Bowl and they end up winning by a point, you would definitely be like, did nothing on the class project.
Yes, got hurt. By the way, just a quick update, Breaking Moose.
I can't do it. Breaking Mo do it the dead harambe shirts are number one seller right now so you got a lot of sickos out there that sucks because we told everybody not to buy that shirt explicitly i just got a text saying it's it's going like hot cakes i bet you there are probably a lot of people buying it that aren't even rams fans yeah i hope buy it and burn it.
Yeah, please do that. Burn it.
You know what? I'll double my previous donation for every shirt that's burned. It's gross.
It's disgusting. It's gross, and I will not have it.
Cooper Cup definitely deserved to win the MVP. What was that? I think there's someone behind the screen.
The Wizard of Oz. That blew my mind.
What the fuck? Yeah, the person behind the curtain. We should do who's back in the helmets.
That's probably Harambe's ghost. Why are we wearing the helmets? Careful, don't go too close to it.
We should be wearing the helmets. Oh, no.
Oh, no. These helmets are...
Oh are Oh wait are they fake ones? No Alright so what else we got on the game Do we have our list of commercials? Yeah Jake said I'm gonna FaceTime Jake Oh wait Sorry Honestly I'm not gonna be like conceited here But I thought you were gonna start the show Sorry Hank was right I mean we all bet it it was awesome it was a giant fuck you to everyone who was tweeting us being like bro did you not know about the ball you guys are idiots you know about the ball i didn't know guess what no no there's never been a there's never been a bet that has been researched less than what hank did with this bet including my helmet is really really tight – including Hank turning to me last night and being like, oh, wait, there we go. All right.
This was just – this was drunk dreaming. This was a drunk dream.
What if the opening kicks the ball is really bad, and he kicks it to like the 30 and they fair catch it? And I was like, well, that wouldn't be a touchback. Definitely not a touchback.
There was also a moment where Hank was like, well, wait, what if the Bengals, so I want the Bengals to win the toss, and then they'll defer, and then the Rams will kick off. Yeah.
But you guys, right before the game, I was like, I want the Bengals to win the kickoff. And you guys yelled at me.
So then the Bengals won the toss, and I got mad. And then I was paralyzed with emotions because you guys had just yelled at me for being an idiot.
And then what I said was right. But I didn't realize it until the Bengals were kicking off.
It was so confusing. It worked out, though.
Yeah. The bottom line is awesome.
John DeKick Pearson, Saint, recurring guest, King. That was the.
We have Kick-Pherson shirts on sale. Hank is the smartest person, the smartest football analyst when it comes to kickoffs.
Yeah. Forget about like extra points and field goals.
I'm not talking about that. Strictly kickoffs, Hank is the top.
He has the top mind in the industry. Yeah.
No one should ever doubt him again. That's a fact.
He also said to me drunk on Saturday night when we were night we were out today he's like do you think maybe evan mcpherson listened and now knows that he's got to warm up the ball i was like i don't think he has the option but hank was like i think that this bet is getting enough like talk on the streets well the crazy part is he should have definitely tried to return that kick too yeah it was like one or like one or two yards deep. Yes.
It was an electric moment. Never in doubt.
Hank deserves all the credit. That was awesome.
Thank you. For our commercial update, I'm about to FaceTime Jake.
He's got his top three commercials. Oh, hell yes.
Of the Super Bowl. This helmet is way too small for my head.
Put the phone in the ring. It's hurting so bad.
I'm going to take my helmet off. What's up? Hey, Jake.
Did you get the picture, Hank, of us with the helmet? How are you? Doing good. Are you driving right now? I am driving.
This is very unsafe, Jake. I'm not looking at you.
All right, yeah, he's not looking. It's a look-away interview with Jake Marsh.
Jake, we were hoping to get an update on the commercials because we didn't really watch them that much. So as our sports business reporter, what are the three best commercials during this week's Super Bowl? So for me, the cars dominated this year's broadcasts.
One of them, obviously, I have to award it to the Electric Avenue BMW commercial for the program. And the other, I like the Austin Powers one.
It's always great when the original pass comes back together. Jake, you're not going to do...
What about the other part of the program? You're not going to do the Sopranos one? Yeah, that was our truck. That was our truck.
It was a Chevy Silverado. Tony kills Christopher.
They asked us. They were like, hey, what should we do? We're like, well, we could spoil Sopranos for you and put it in a truck ad.
They're like, why don't we just not spoil it, but we will do the truck ad. That actually really happened.
No joke. We wrote a Super Bowl commercial.
Did everyone like it? And, yeah, and Recurring Guest was in that one, too. That's right, yeah.
The original ending of it was actually they were going to go into the train store and they were going to shoot Bobby Bacala. He loved trains.
And then honorable mention, only because of his performance, Brooks Koepka, only because of his performance, the mountains were blue in that commercial. Oh, I didn't even see that one.
What was that a performance for, Jake? Only because of his performance, Nothing else about that one. Got it.
Got it. All right.
Thank you, Jake. Love you, Jake.
I do think there was, yeah, I think there were some good ads. The Austin Powers one, I was more shocked.
And we also had the Kingpin ad, which was very good. We played Jimmy Butler, Serena, Peyton Manning, that was a good ad.
The halftime show was incredible. Now, was it incredible? I feel like there were people who were like, this, okay, Zoomers, like 18-year-olds, did they think that was incredible? Because it really was.
They basically were like, let's do a halftime show where anyone between the age of like 30 and 45 is going to be like this is the greatest halftime show ever and it it worked because i was like they played every hit from like every portion of our lives this one was legitimately shocking for me to see people tell me that i'm old for liking this halftime show right it. It was crazy, but it was also like a wake-up moment.

It's like, wait, I'm the bad guy now.

It was essentially our time to shine.

Millennials finally had our time to shine,

where it's like, remember when they had the Rolling Stones

do the halftime show?

And I liked the Rolling Stones, but everyone's like,

man, like, only people over 50 like this.

This is a halftime show where, wouldn't you say, Hank,

like, 18-year-olds are like, what's going on yeah probably all those songs were except kendrick were and mincy were songs of artists that have been around for like 30 years yeah like 90s and early 2000s right right it was awesome yeah i loved every second it was it was crazy see, too, hanging upside down.

He's put on.

He looks great.

No, no, 50 Cent looks great.

Careful.

He looks great.

He'll fucking end you on line. I know, he will.

And now kneeing conversations are back because Eminem took a knee when the NFL explicitly told him not to.

Really?

Yeah.

Hell yeah, Eminem.

Yeah, we got Eminem and Jerry Jones taking knees.

I think we did it, guys. Change.
I think we beat racism. Change has happened.
What else we got? What else? What else from the Super Bowl? The one commercial, I don't know what it was for, but I think I liked it. It was just a QR code that was on the screen for an extended period of time.
A lot of crypto ads. Yeah.
It might have been a crypto ad. I was just thinking that putting a QR code on the screen and then just having it go directly to your own personal Venmo, that would be an interesting case to see what the return on investment would be because it's like $6 million, right? If it was just $6 million of my cash app on the screen, do you think I would make $6 million no you think strangers would would send me six million dollars no probably not fine I just send them to a porn site then because they would be like is this the guy who's wearing the Harambe shirt I'd say I just like that I'd send him to Goatsy uh meat spin meat spin yeah see how many spins now we are this is our zoomer this is our zoomer portion of the.
Oh, how can we forget the greatest ad of all time? The ad that we have joked about happening forever. Old LeBron talking to young LeBron.
Literally being like, we're about to go to the league. It was old LeBron, present day LeBron in high school LeBron's bedroom.
Kind of creepy. Yep.
That's problematic. A statutory rape, brother.
So, but it was very funny to like see it actually happen. I was like, holy shit.
This is every LeBron Instagram caption ever come to life. And I just imagine they were like, hey, LeBron, we need an idea for what we should do for the Super Bowl commercial.
And he's like, well, I've been talking to my younger self for a really long time. You want to just do that? What if I just go sit on my 16-year-old self's bed for a while and put my arm around him? It's a little St.
James. That's what I'm going to start calling LeBron from now on.
It was Baby Braun. So my Who's Back of the Week was going to be Baby Braun.
And this week's Baby Braun of the Week award goes to Baby Braun. He's the all-time leader in Baby Braun of the Week awards.
It was everything that I wanted from a LeBron James commercial. Just a tribute to LeBron James.
Yeah. All right, let's see.
What else? Oh, I had a couple more. There was a great tweet during the halftime show.
I want to read this one out loud. If you aren't going to read the one I'm thinking of, then we have two great tweets.
It's got to be the same one. So this is from Charlie Kirk.
He said. Oh, no.
He said. No.
The NFL is now the league of sexual anarchy. This halftime show should not be allowed on television.
Sexualarchy sounds pretty awesome yeah that sounds sick but the tweet i saw which was uh equally as great but for a different reason said uh from andy levy said okay if tupac didn't come back for that i guess it's official and i think that's probably true that's fair we can finally finally it's it's it's a death certificate can be issued yep he definitely would have been there for that um it was no I love that halftime show I know that probably makes us sound old but it was awesome I I don't know maybe this is like me still in self-denial but I feel like even young kids that are watching they're like yeah I gained a lot of respect for those older guys. Well, Kendrick saved us.
He was the bridge for 16-year-olds watching it and being like, who are these guys? And I also shout out Dr. Dre, who pretended that he was producing the whole thing.
That was awesome. He was just like, I don't know what he was doing.
There are a lot of qualms that people had with the Super Bowl being in L.A.

I get those.

The halftime show should be in L.A. every year.

Oh, yes.

The halftime show should be in L.A.

Cut away to it.

Put them in a stadium.

Have them perform in that stadium.

Sell tickets.

They'd probably sell just as many tickets in Los Angeles if it was a big-time music event.

And then cut back.

Yeah.

And Mayor Garcetti, another picture came out of him holding his breath for a really long time. Looked like he was in an extended conversation with his breath being held.
So he had no mask on. So, yeah, well, I'm sure that will be a do-to-do tomorrow.
Wait, was it with Magic Johnson again? No, it wasn't. He was just standing there, like, having a full conversation, but holding his breath, I'm sure.
Yeah, like the opposite of Bill Clinton. I smoked, but I didn't inhale.
was just he was inhaling the entire time yeah when he did the when he did this like report when he when he did a press conference about it and he was just like yeah see i take off my mask i hold my breath and then i take the picture it's like what what are we are we still doing this this is insane did you see any of the stuff the mayor of cincinnati the guy that i talked to and gave a pump-up, because I knew that Garcetti was going to be a shark. What did he own? So I don't know what the eventual mayor's bet was, but pure of all, the guy from Cincinnati was going on the news all week, just fucking roasting Los Angeles.
He was like, you guys are Los Angeles with two S's. Oh.
Yeah. He was firing nuclear missiles.
I'm sad that we have to wait another year to get mayoris bets. I'm sure they'll really figure it out by then.
Damn. All right.
I was trying to take notes while we were on the live stream. Very hard to do.
Yeah. The only thing I wrote was Stafford point interception.
That was funny. Yeah.
He did point. Yeah.
Anytime a quarterback points, they're about to fuck something up real bad. Yeah.
And then Bengals going for it five minutes in the first quarter,

put a pin in it.

That sucked because I actually liked the aggressiveness,

and Higgins was wide open.

Joe Burrow just missed it.

Like, he just missed it.

It was as simple as that.

Also, Aaron Donald was lined up offsides on that.

Okay, so NFL range.

That's what I put a pin in on that one.

Yeah, because they did score.

The Rams did score off of that.

Do you think I can jewel through this helmet? Yeah, definitely can. Anything is possible.
10 X. It was a good Superbowl though.
It was a very good Superbowl. Great Superbowl week.
Any Superbowl week recap from, from Thursday, Friday, Saturday. I'm tired.
Yeah. I don't remember.
I went to Gronk's party for a little bit. There were, I think that there are more Gronkowski than there used to be.
Yeah. I think that they've multiplied.
I so you went to Gronk's party for a little bit. I think there are more Gronkowskis than there used to be.
Yeah. I think that they've multiplied.
So you went to Gronk's party on Friday night. You saw our good friend Coach Vrabel after he won Coach of the Year.
Shout out Coach Vrabes. Shout out Coach Vrabes.
He just bought a horse. Yeah, oh, yeah.
He told me what he's thinking about for names. So he did buy it because of Coach of the Year.
I think that was, I think it was officially, like, I won Coach of the Year. I'm buying myself a horse.
I love that. That's actually a perfect trophy.
Every coach that wins Coach of the Year should just get a horse. Yeah.
He said, Koi Fish, Koi Pond, or Don't Be Koi. I think he's got to go with Don't Be Koi.
He's got to think for Koi? Or Coach of the Year. Coach of the Year.
Got it. Yeah, it took me a second.
I was like, what the fuck? You want to fuck a fish? You got a fish fucking problem? What's going on here? I like. Koi pond isn't bad.
What? I like koi pond. Koi pond.
I like don't be koi. And then on Friday night, I.
No, but don't be koi is saying don't be coach of the year. Yeah, that's true.
I like koi pond. Yeah, koi pond.
I was able to share some beers with Coach Chip Kelly, who hopefully would be a guest on the podcast at some point. Although i was very drunk he was like he kept on being like i don't understand your podcast like why do people listen and i was like see like if you came on i would um read you my mean tweets to you and then i started reading some of them and he was like what like one of them was like chip kelly's got shit for brains and he's like he's like your 90-year year old grandfather, you gotta take away his license like oh that's probably a bad one that was for the Sam Bradford trade was that, did he laugh? no he didn't laugh, he was like oh who won that trade? he did actually, Sam Bradford good question, Sam Bradford did what else from Hank, you had a great.
Just a great day. With T.J.
Watt coming on Wednesday. Hank slept, almost slept through a 12 o'clock interview.
No, no. See, thankfully my good friend William Football enlightened me to this fact and I prescribed to it.
I did not sleep in. I just woke up and fell back asleep.
No, no. But you were awake.
I was awake in the morning yeah yeah you didn't you didn't wake up you were still awake at 8 a.m went to sleep and then woke up at noon yeah listen we've you know we've had luckily this one wasn't bad we had everything set up before we had our sound guy and liam everything was it was good to go but i the interview was at noon every day we were waking up at 8 a., 9 a.m. When I was going out Thursday night, I didn't even factor in my brain for a second that I wasn't going to wake up.
Might have went a little too hard, maybe had a little too many drinks, and then all of a sudden I was getting a phone call at 11.59 from Big Cat, and I was like, oh, my God. Thankfully, the interview was right upstairs, and I was only two minutes late.
Cough in time, 25 minutes late. year comeback producer of the year is tubba i had a good week but he was there but was rock solid showing up only falling asleep at appropriate times yeah and that's what i love about bubba is sometimes at like nine o'clock at night we'll be sitting out by the pool or something i'll look over and he'll just be sitting there with a beer in his hand but his eyes have rolled back he's asleep while he's sitting up still holding the beer on saturday night or last night we were watching we went all went out to dinner and then we uh like big team dinner then we went to watch the ufc pay-per-view and we go to this room to watch ufc pay-per-view and someone come up to me they're like yo yo i think Liam's asleep.
And I look back and he's just sleeping in his chair. I'm like, yeah, that's fine.
Whatever. It's a totally appropriate time to sleep.
Yeah, it's totally cool. Yeah.
Bubba had a good week. It was right during the main event.
He's like, yeah, he's checked out. It's fine.
Also, Jake, the Jake and Billy news clip. Awesome.
All-time funny. If you haven't seen it, it's on our Instagram.
They got interviewed by the news, and Billy basically victim-blamed people for it.

Yeah, he's like, don't wear Rolexes or whatever it was.

Cartier.

Yeah.

Don't wear Cartier.

It was a good Super Bowl week, though.

I'm very, very tired.

I think we all are.

Yeah.

One last thing about the commercials.

Did you happen to see the Miley Cyrus one?

No.

It was pretty good.

Yeah?

Yeah, no, I'm just saying it was good. That was another one of my top three.
Oh, that was why you took out your phone and we were taking a video of the TV. Yeah.
And you said, I'm going to save this for later. For later.
For much later. I've discovered the hack now.
Whenever I tweet about Miley Cyrus, I just limit the replies so that nobody can reply to it. It's perfect.
Then they start bonking me on my next tweet. And they're like this is for the miley cyrus tweet yeah they figured out a way around it they've hacked my hacking that's like yeah like when teams don't post the final score yeah i figured out a way to do it um great super bowl great season great great uh great football season we're gonna take a little break by the way just so everyone knows we'll have a show on Wednesday with TJ Watt.
Then we have a life episode coming up on Friday with Russillo and Titus, which was awesome. Monday is President's Day, so we're going to take Monday off.
Out of respect for Joe Biden. Yep, for Joe Biden.
And then Wednesday we'll be back, and we have a couple of really good Super Bowl interviews. So we're going to take a quick break.
Everyone's going to take a little vacation. I'm going to lock myself in my basement, actually, in honor of Joe.
Yeah, yeah. We have earned it.
We've definitely earned a vacation. Yes, I agree.
Clap it up. All of us.

I promise we'll have our voices back on Wednesday when you hear us again, and maybe we'll have some more coherent thoughts about the Super Bowl. I thought we actually did a pretty good job breaking it down.
Just the Joe down that we had. The visual was all time.
You gotta go to the YouTube to see what you guys look like right now. Yeah, we're wearing the helmets.
We put on the helmets. We're football guys.
We love football. I have a few who's back, so that's alright.
Yeah, go off because I got mine. Yeah, we talked about mine already.
Okay, my first one is hole-in-ones.

Waste management opening was this weekend.

One of the best, I think, sporting event crowd scenes that I've never been to

that look so, so, so much fun.

There was two hole-in-ones this weekend.

One was a rider.

I forget who the other guy was, but everyone showers beers,

throw beers, have to delay and clean them all up. It looks unbelievable every time.
Riders throwing beers? No, no, no. Riders getting hole in one.
Oh, I was going to say, Riders winning. Riders on top.
Riders know better than to throw drinks at people. Right, Riders on top.
He's back of the week, Riders. Yeah.
Riders are back, that's true. I had three different friend groups that were going to the Waste Management Open as a bachelor party.
Sip brag on how many friends you got. Well, I'm sorry.
I had three different friends in their own independent groups outside of me. Are you counting cons? No.
He was on a bachelor party. Wow.
You had four, four. No man with all the friends.
It's going to be at all, bro. Yeah.
Sorry. Not a friend.
Say, say some it. No, no, no.
You just said riders are back.

Yeah, no, it looked like an awesome time there.

It did.

I see people being like, this is awesome.

I wish more golf was like this.

I kind of like the fact that that's the place where golf gets fucking crazy.

Yes, guess what?

Next year.

I know that we just had, we're just done with Super Bowl week.

We're just done with the football season.

Super Bowl in Arizona. Legalized gambling in Arizona.
Barstool bar in Arizona. Waste management.
What a weekend that will be. Can't wait.
Holy fuck. My other end who's back in the week is Kanye.
I don't know if you guys follow him on Instagram. He's been going on.
He does this often where he posts a bunch and then deletes everything. But's been going in on Pete Davidson Kanye West, fighting with Billie Eilish He hired a meme guy who's taking memes off the internet And posting those Really cheesily done Memes, but they're very funny He posted a picture Shout out was like, you know what? You know what the Super Bowl needs?

More Harambe.

And he was right.

Our biggest...

Every picture was...

All of our biggest tweets, Harambe-related.

You got to go with the numbers, you know?

It was awesome.

We're an analytics-driven podcast, as everyone knows.

Is there, like, a secret part of memes that is, like, privately hoping that another gorilla

gets shot soon?

Memes in the room right now.

No, he's crying now. Way to go, PFT.
But look, he posted just, posted just like an old picture He's kind of a fashion guy And he just can't stand that Pete Davidson dresses like this He said, look at this dickhead I wonder if Instagram is going to shut down my page For dissing Hillary Clinton's ex-boyfriend And that, like, he did like He did a whole bunch Wait, what? Pete Davidson slept with Hillary Clinton? No.

Yes.

He's got a tattoo of Hillary Clinton.

When I tag people, I'm just putting together the web.

They're a group of people who run media in the election.

Thank God for free speech.

With just a picture of Pete Davidson's Hillary Clinton tattoo.

That'd be so sick if he did, actually.

If he was currently piping both Kim Kardashian and Hillary Clinton.

Yeah. The man who has it all a little something for everyone yeah but there's a bunch he i mean some of them are funny some of them are a little wild uh he's probably gonna delete them all as he does yeah i hopped i hopped in his live i was just asking people for super bowl picks um people weren't in the mood for that and they all changed changed their Instagram profile to match Kanye's, I think.

There was one picture I saw that Kanye put up that was a bunch of people out to dinner,

and Pete Davidson was in the picture,

and then he just put a red X over Pete Davidson's face,

like one that he did on his own.

Yeah, grade school burn book shit.

Yeah, I like that. I respect that.

It's tough to come back from that, honestly,

when one of the most famous people in the world

just puts an X over your face. X'd you.
Yep, X'd you out. Is that it? That's it.
That's multiple who's backs. Good job.
Thanks. Good job.
PFT, your who's back? Proper of the century. My who's back was going to be Baby Braun.
Yeah. But we discussed him already.
My who's back of the week is vaping. Everyone's doing it.
It's great. I'm so addicted to it.
It's unreal. My plan has not worked so far, which was

I was just going to try to vape as much as I could

until I got sick of it. Turns out that when you just

vape as much as you can, you just want to

even try to vape more than that. Yeah.

So it's a real problem for me at this point.

You look sick doing it. Yeah.
Do you mean like

unhealthy? Both.

I feel unhealthy. Both.
But I do look

cool. Yeah.
It's kind of like

the beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Yeah.
What level of sick does PFT look? Has anybody else ever vaped through a football helmet? I don't think so. Nope.
Facts. Nope.
My who's back. I got two who's back.
Guess who I saw on Wednesday. Wednesday.
Garrett. Thursday.
Guess who I saw. Thursday.
You want me to guess who you saw Pete Davidson no George Bush I saw Sam Hubbard's cousin who invented Roback I did actually that's the Roback question guess who I saw on Thursday Sam Hubbard's cousin who invented Roback and he was like I love you guys and I was like we love you because Roback has the best performance Q-Zips the best polos everything out there performance hoodies Roback has it all you see us wearing it all the time we love Roback use code PMT on Roback.com for a generous 20% off your first purchase through the end of this week that's's spelled R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com. That's 20% off all polos, Q-Zips, and hoodies with code PMT.
Make sure to jump on the newly dropped performance hoodies. Perfect for keeping you warm in the winter.
Also, just an extended ad read for Roback. I love Super Bowl week because sometimes you go to like these parties.
It's like fancy parties and you'll be'll see people who are like I'm going to just be my city and when I saw Sam Hubbard's cousin he he was Cincinnati like I loved I loved seeing him because it was like this guy he's Cincinnati and so he was a really good guy you should support Roback he loves us we love him that's Stoolies who loves Stoolies who love us we AW awls sam hubbard all of it goes together in a big bomb of cool t-shirts called roback also just great uh people watching events the super bowl parties like you gotta you get you know tiktok kids you get like the the super hot like plastic fake guys with like 60 year old men you just get all types of people coming to these parties. It's just very funny to attend.
Like, I was at. What did you just say? You get.
What? No, what did you just say? It's all kids and 60-year-old men. Hot girls.
Yeah. Oh, okay.
Fake, a little plastic, maybe some surgery with old guys. Okay.
Got it. So, L.A.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Right.
It was funny. That is funny.
What did I say that was wrong? The first time you said, yeah, it's fine. If there's something you want to tell us.
Hot plastic guys. We don't have any in common to talk about.
I saw some of those too. We'll support you.
You don't think the six-year-old dude and the 18-year-old girl were watching Super Bowl halftime and the six-year-old dude was like, get these off my screen and the 18 year old girl was like who are these guys yeah that's common ground they both hated it for different reasons zoomers handshake hating the halftime show this is our halftime yeah our time to shine um and then my other who's back of the week is stupid uh tweets that try to be sentimental because adam schefter's tweet after Super Bowl makes no sense. He said to all those who said it couldn't be done, and it's a picture of Eli Manning, Calvin Johnson, and Jarvis Landry looking on as Matthew Stafford and OBJ celebrate the Super Bowl.
I don't get it. I didn't get it at first.
I stared at it for a very long time trying to figure it out. And he had this plan for a long time because OBJ was not in uniform after the Super Bowl.
Right. So this was a Photoshop ready to go like, hey, honey, I got a fire fucking Photoshop to post if the Rams win.
And I like to think that Adam does create these himself. I feel like he opens up Adobe's and he's like, I'm going to put Calvin Johnson because he played with Matt Stafford.
We'll put Eli Manning. Cause he played with Odell.
Right. And also it works.
If it was Matt Stafford winning a Superbowl with the lions. Right.
Or OBJ winning a Superbowl with the Browns. Then it'd be like to all those who said it couldn't be done.
Yeah. Everyone.
Yeah. But this one, like, no, they were a really good team.
Who was the third one? You said Eli Manning. Jarvis Landry.
Jarvis Johnson. Yeah.
Jarvis Landry, that's a really strange one. I think the other two I kind of get.
It's not cool, but I get why he did it. The Jarvis Landry one, it's like, why is Jarvis including that? He played with Odell for six months.
We got, by the way, just a little update. We got people going crazy with the screen grabs in the chat from all throughout the game.
Someone holding, I think it was T. Higgins.
Like, we're going to just, let's not do this. Let's not do the, this game was rigged, this game had the refs decided.
I don't think the refs decided. I think you get a day of that if you're a diehard Bengals fan.
But the longest play, the biggest explosive play of the game was the most blatant face mask ever. It literally changed that play.
Jalen Ramsey was tracking the ball. He grabbed his face mask.
In the time that he grabbed his face mask, the ball arrived. he caught it, he scored a touchdown.
Right, but that's the beauty of the NFL rig community is you can overlook that as long as you have other stuff that points in a different direction. Yeah, you probably have to do it.
You're right. I fully support the NFL rig community.
You need some sort of copium to get you through these next weeks if you're a Bengals fan. That's why I think that we should make our own NFL rig compilation.
Yeah, we should. But I'm just saying, personally, as someone who's third party here, I didn't walk away from this game being like, the refs decided this game.
I did not either. It was frustrating at the end because it was just back and forth, back and forth, flag, flag, flag.
They missed a call, though, when the Bengals didn't. You know what I mean? Like, there was...
I don't know. It was just...
I never thought like, oh man, this man this game wow it got stolen right yeah i don't this was not an nfl stolen game it's an nfl rig game yeah uh memes or bubba you guys got any who's backs to end it no anything else from super bowl week i'm very excited for the tj watt interview actually yeah it was very good because i almost killed him i almost killed him you have to tune in on wed. I literally almost killed him in the show.
That was taped on Friday at noon. Hank was so drunk still.
He was there and he doesn't remember. 3 p.m.
Eastern time. It took me a second.
It was a funny interview because I think that Big Cat and I were also a little fuzzy from the night before. It's going to be one of those interviews which goes a little off the rails of time.
But it was a good one. I'm on like three or four days in a row where when my alarm goes off, I'm in like the deepest possible sleep.
And I'm like, where the fuck am I? So I've been having this weird thing happen where I've been waking up in the middle of the night still asleep and like thinking that something's wrong with my alarm clock and trying to fix it. And then just getting frustrated and going back to sleep it's having like three times in a row your actual alarm clock or your phone phone but i nothing's wrong with it i just get really upset and i like i like press a bunch of buttons and i'm like oh i'm done somehow the the worst feature on an iphone is the alarm clock which was had to be made like hundreds of years ago yeah which is like the easiest thing literally hundreds of years ago cavemen like it fucking sucks well i don't know probably dude we would have gotten to interview joe burrow when he was drunk that would have been awesome and the shirts the merch well we have the dead ramambe shirt.
He's represented well. We'll be fine.

We'll still sleep on fucking, what, 10,000 thread count sheets?

Yeah, it's pretty good.

Well, on the Helix mattress.

All the deaths of Harambe?

An empire built on a dead gorilla.

What if I told you?

We are Boko Harambe.

Harambe died so that we could all go on vacation. I'll go to Uganda.
I'll go to Uganda and see some of the lowlands. We'll find a new Harambe? Yeah.
I'll capture him. Yeah.
Like King Kong. I miss that guy.
He was definitely watching. He probably thinks this game was rigged.
Yeah, for sure.

He probably was like NFL rigged.

All right, let's do numbers.

Give me a 57.

Give me a 21.

All right.

I'm going to go straight to the roulette table after this, by the way,

and I'm going to play whatever number comes up.

Oh, man.

Oh, no, I lost all my money.

Never mind.

Three for memes.

Sir, zero to 100. We got a new sound guy for this 63 63 okay so 63 3 what was it ink 57 57 6 21 i'll go 56 for super bowl 56 end of the season it's over 91 91 what a football season um 91 is not on a roulette wheel.
I personally think last week, the last four shows have been some of our best. I agree.
We fucking crushed Super Bowl week, not to pat ourselves on the back, but those were some fire shows. Yeah, let's clap it up for the boys.
One last time. I mean, we've done a lot of Super Bowls.
We always do well, but I feel like last week was great episodes, great interviews.

And three in the bank, four in the bank still coming that are awesome.

All right.

See everyone on Wednesday.

Love you guys.

Oh, man.

I'm talking away.

I don't know what to say.

I'll say it anyway.

Today is another day to follow you.

Shine it away. I'll be coming for your love again.
Thank you. Take me.
Take me.

I'll be gone.

Look to your soul.

It's so needless to say.

I hold the sentence.

But I need some little weight.

It's not only learning that life is okay.

Say up to me. It's better to be safe than something.
Thank you. Drink me up.
Drink me up. I'll give you up.

In a day of joy.

Things that you say isn't liable.

Just to find out where you're in the way.

You're all the things I've got to remember.
