Today is Monday, February 14th. Happy Valentine's Day.
I love you, PFT. I love you too, big cat.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Today is Monday, February 14th, and the Los Angeles Rams are your Super Bowl champions. Clap it up for the Rams.
All right. Good job, Rams.
Good job, Rams. It's great.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we're one big Ramley here. No, we were obviously rooting for the Bengals, and you'll forgive us if our voices are hoarse.
We've been on the road.

Speaker 1 We're in LeBerge Casino and Resort in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Shout out LeBerge.
Beautiful. But our voices do sound like we've been just sucking on machine guns and gasoline.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's pretty close to what we've been actually doing. I woke up this morning and I was like, ooh, my voice sounds better.
And it doesn't, but it sounds better than it did. So at least I'm on the mend.

Speaker 1 But yeah. Yeah, not me.
I'm sucking down these jewels like water. Super Bowl 56.

Speaker 1 A great game, thrilling game. Felt a little incomplete at the end, but let's break it all down.

Speaker 1 We should start with the Super Bowl champion, Rams. Incredible performance by them.

Speaker 1 All in. Obj gets hurt.
It felt like that.

Speaker 1 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 he guy off he 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?

Speaker 1 How did they do this?

Speaker 1 Well, they had Cooper Cup and they 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.

Speaker 1 And it's like, can you, can you build, can you, can you do the Rams model?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 This season, yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, in terms of his regular season and then what he did in the playoffs and what he did on that fourth, uh, in that fourth quarter when it was pretty much they can't run the ball, even though Sean McVay thought they could.

Speaker 1 And they had like a couple guys that could maybe catch a bet, but it was Cooper Cup. It was Cooper Cup.
The whole defense knew it was Cooper Cup. Cooper Cup knew it was Cooper Cup.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 They had the special teams mix up. That could have been a very costly missed extra point.

Speaker 1 They had turnovers. Matt Stafford did a couple Matt Stafford things.

Speaker 1 And then they had a big game

Speaker 1 at times from some of their wide-outs. They had some big plays that went in there.
Now, people are saying that was offensive pass interference.

Speaker 1 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 at the playoffs.

Speaker 1 Well, it's more even in this game.

Speaker 1 You know, we joke about NFL rigged. Everyone loves to call NFL rigged.
NFL rigged.

Speaker 1 I called NFL rigged twice. It was weird that the game had basically no penalties.
The only penalty was that dude on the Bengals who like, don't get on the plane because with,

Speaker 1 what, two minutes left, Matt Safford throws a pick in the end zone. He's...
This guy's on injured. I don't know who it was, but he's on injured reserve.
He's not in a uniform. He runs onto the field.

Speaker 1 You're not dressed to the Super Bowl, and you manage to get your team a 10-yard penalty. That is all-time, all-time bad.
Did he have enough? So he was not even wearing a uniform.

Speaker 1 So when they announced the penalty, were they like up

Speaker 1 unsportsmanlike conduct? Male sweatshirt wearing gray hoodie. Yes.
Yes. And that, like, they zoomed in on him.
That was, that was like the Homer Simpson gift.

Speaker 1 in real life like get the fuck out of here but is there do you think that there's a more disliked player in the nfl than Eli Apple? Oh, because they picked on him, and

Speaker 1 it was like every single player that was watching the game, current players,

Speaker 1 just roasting the fuck out of him. Like, he was getting just dragged by guys that are like the third wideout on some of the worst teams.
Right.

Speaker 1 It's, 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.

Speaker 1 Miko Harman just tweeted multiple times.

Speaker 1 We said, wish it was a better corner than winning, then the game-winning touchdown wouldn't have have been scored on you and then after he tweeted just a video of his super bowl ring he said it's cool big bro you might get one of these one day in the meantime just go get better at your crap i mean i mean the apple cup cloud the apple cup matchup was it was actually more one-sided than the actual apple cup

Speaker 1 yeah the um 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.

Speaker 1 Again, I don't think you can say NFL rigged here because the argument would be that the Bengals got screwed at the end of the game. Well, Jalen Ramsey, that was a face mask.

Speaker 1 That long touchdown was a face mask. The Bengals got away with one.
I have no problem with it. It just sucks.
when you watch a whole game with no refs involved. And I think the moment becomes big.

Speaker 1 Guys hold a little more because they're worried about giving up a touchdown.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 We should make a clip where it shows all the Bengals complaints about NFL rigged and then just put like the clip of that long touchdown in

Speaker 1 and then just say like, this is is a great call yeah just move on yes like be honest about about your biases in this it was honestly a fun game the nfl had a great postseason and it was a good super 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 um but it's the rams are a bad team to have to go through seven months after the super bowl's over where it's like oh yeah the rams won the super bowl if the bengals were the reigning super bowl champion that would make the offseason like a little spicier a little fun of course but but let's just say it.

Speaker 1 The Rams are 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.

Speaker 1 They righted the ship. Think about their, think about their playoffs.
Like they went, they kicked the shit out of the Cardinals so much so that Kyler Murray wants to be off the team.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 They then beat the boogeyman and Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers, and then they beat the Bengals, who the Bengals were a really good team themselves.

Speaker 1 Like, the Rams are a very, like, I'm walking away from this season, not being like, oh, man, feels like the best team didn't win at all. No, the Rams are the best team.
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1 They're the best teams. 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?

Speaker 1 Because the last two Super Bowls were won by super teams. Well, it's, I mean, it's credit to them for keeping it all together.

Speaker 1 And, like, those swoon, like, Vaughn Miller already said he's going to test free agency.

Speaker 1 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 show but for the fact that the rams basically said this is our window like

Speaker 1 obviously in retrospect the Stafford trade makes a lot of sense because they won the Super Bowl, but it was ballsy at the time.

Speaker 1 You know, you're taking a chance on a guy who hasn't won a playoff game, who's had

Speaker 1 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 oh 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 fuck for the future doesn't matter they have this ring they were the best team this year and they deserve all the credit.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 He got way better after he got out of Cleveland. I think that we were all like, you know, we were making fun of the free OBJ movement.

Speaker 1 But at the time, there were some real issues about OBJ and the way that he was playing in Cleveland.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And when they got Von Miller, that's exactly 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.

Speaker 1 And then once Von Miller gets three sacks, what do they do? They have to start chipping on him, leaving the protection. Aaron Floyd, bare for life.
Yeah, then what happens with Aaron Donald?

Speaker 1 At that point, he just gets fucking unleashed and comes up the middle. It actually worked perfectly the way that they designed the Super Team.
Also, I don't even know why we're like

Speaker 1 explaining this. 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 biggest team.
Of course. Well, we met them.

Speaker 1 We joked about it being like, ha ha, the Rams stink. They're soft.
We knew they were the best team. That was a joke.
That was a bit. Big Cat, as huge St.

Speaker 1 Louis sports fans on this podcast, we naturally root for the Rams. Shout out to Stan Cronky.
Could have happened to a better guy. Stan Cronky, class act, through and through, all-time great guy.

Speaker 1 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 crunky it is about the ramley yeah and he did it for you guys i i do love when rams fans are like you guys never gave us credit like i i

Speaker 1 i hate to break it to you but we are biased yeah we are million percent we are not my favorite we don't cover the league fairly i'm i i i apologize we're not gonna we're not gonna break down all 32 rosters and be like here's gut who's the good players on these teams we're very biased we root for what we root for a lot of times just our bets.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 We would actually be the world's biggest assholes

Speaker 1 if we were like, Go Rams, beat the fuck out of our friend Joe. Yeah, or a kiddle last week.

Speaker 1 Or a kiddo. Yeah, exactly.
So listen, we're very biased. I'm pretty sure that we've advocated for Matthew Delavadova to get an NBA MVP at some point.

Speaker 1 So if you listen to the show thinking that you're going to get smarter,

Speaker 1 there are a million other choices that you can listen to. Matthew Stafford should come on this show.

Speaker 1 I guess what aides like a fine wine, the rare W 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.

Speaker 1 Matthew Safford's going to be a Hall of Famer.

Speaker 1 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 you put him now, if he plays three, four more years,

Speaker 1 pick a quarterback with one Super Bowl. He's going to to have a better resume overall.
You know how else you can tell

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 and if his signature moments involve camera shots of their wife in the stands jumping up and down. Yes.

Speaker 1 If their wife becomes like a person that they zoom in on, talk about, discuss, at that point, it's like this is a Hall of Famer. Aaron Rodgers hasn't happened to him.

Speaker 1 I think actually there's a chance Kelly Stafford gets in the Hall of Fame Fame herself. Sure.
Peter King might vote for her. Put him ponk on you, Peter.
Put him all in. Does he like her?

Speaker 1 No, I don't know. Yeah, he does.
He's horny, though. Yeah, Peter King is a very horny man.

Speaker 1 Extremely when he's not housing him in and out. What do you guys say? Should we address the dead gorilla in the room? Yeah, probably.
That's fucked up, Hank.

Speaker 1 We alluded to it on Friday's show when we talked to CJ and Evan that I

Speaker 1 had a shirt that is It's a terrible shirt. It'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. Surgery.

Speaker 1 I'm disgusted with myself for wearing this. Yeah, so it's Sean McVay

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And I just said to him, Can you make a shirt with a little kid standing over a dead Harambe and the kid has Ram's gear on? Maybe in the enclosure? Actually, make the kid Sean McVay.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, that was it. 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.

Speaker 1 Let's just fucking, I mean, listen, we were. But you felt bad when you felt bad the minute I said it.
I was like, no, this is bad. But in honesty, in all honesty, a little peek behind the curtain.

Speaker 1 I think the financial term is over-leveraged. We were over-leveraged in Cincinnati, Harambe shirts.

Speaker 1 And just Cincinnati shirts in general. Yeah, and Cincinnati shirts in general.
So we had to diversify our Harambe

Speaker 1 funds and make sure we had both dead and alive. Or actually, they were both dead.
Heaven and hell, Harambe.

Speaker 1 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 her.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I told our Allison, who does a great job with our t-shirts, is like, do not tweet this from any of the main accounts because we will get canceled. Like I can, I can tweet it.
PFT can tweet it.

Speaker 1 We can be like, pardon my take and tweet it being like, this is a sick shirt. You're a pervert if you wear it.

Speaker 1 I just saw it like in my flash of my head where it's like a hit piece gets written about us. Like, Barcelon Sports thinks Harambe's death is funny.
It's like, well,

Speaker 1 I mean, it is, but whatever. I was just thinking the famous picture of Harambe where he's like leaning over to the side.

Speaker 1 We could make a fire Cincinnati Reds 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.

Speaker 1 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 Ted Gorilla. It was a renaissance

Speaker 1 if they won,

Speaker 1 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. Roan

Speaker 1 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 but but Every single bar is packed right

Speaker 1 not like this I guarantee there was at least one yes There was a Rambe bar crawl. Yeah,

Speaker 1 sure. I think we did one didn't we probably

Speaker 1 Yeah, the Rambe the Rambe shirt PFT is wearing it is on sale. Don't buy it unless you're a real sick of no, just don't buy it pervert.
Do not even look at it.

Speaker 1 You're basically walking around being like, hey, guys, I'm a sick fuck. Yeah, I'll tell you what, I will donate an amount of money to a guerrilla rescue network.
Same. To offset.
I'll double it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you'll double it and I'll match that. Okay, you'll match it.
Okay, so this is actually a net positive for the gorilla community.

Speaker 1 Perfect. Credit to us.
Yes. I've got a couple dumb questions.
Let me do an ad real quick and then let's go dumb questions.

Speaker 1 This dumb question will be presented by... Roman.

Speaker 1 When you choose a monthly plan, that's getroman.com slash take. Dumb questions.
All right, dumb question. Is Sean McVay the shortest head coach to ever win a Super Bowl?

Speaker 1 The only one I could think of is maybe Jimmy Johnson, who's a little guy, but I think it's fair to say Sean McVay is the smallest head coach to ever win. Tiger Meal?

Speaker 1 I think McVay's smaller. He might be.
He's littler.

Speaker 1 I don't know about the exact height.

Speaker 1 Smaller, yeah. 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,

Speaker 1 which is 5'9.

Speaker 1 What about Vince Lombardi? I feel like Vince Lombardi was a pretty small guy. But he was thick, though.
He was thick. He was dumb thick.
Real dumb thick.

Speaker 1 The trophy is actually modeled after his cock. That ass didn't quit.

Speaker 1 Everyone knew Vince Lombardi's ass never quit.

Speaker 1 And then I had another dumb question that I probably could have looked up myself. Is this the first time that a Joe, a starting quarterback named Joe, has ever lost a Super Bowl?

Speaker 1 Because there are a lot of Joe's that have won over the years. Joe Montana, Joe Flacco,

Speaker 1 Joe.

Speaker 1 Joe Namath. I have the stat.
Hold on. You got the Joe stat? Yeah.
Jimmy Joe.

Speaker 1 I knew Matt's were 0-1 going into this. Matthew.
And

Speaker 1 I believe Joe's were 4-0, but I'm not 200. 4-0.

Speaker 1 No, they had to have been 5-0. No, they had to be 6-0.

Speaker 1 6-Joe. Yeah.
Joe Montana had 1-4. Keep more.
Joe Flacco won one.

Speaker 1 And Joe Namath won one. Yeah.
I think this is the first Joe loss. Now,

Speaker 1 seven. Seven, oh, seven and oh.
I don't know about the O. I'm finding.
You're finding what? The O?

Speaker 1 Who's a seven? Matt's our 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.

Speaker 1 I will. Let's just stop the podcast until we can figure out who these are.
Do another at. Loser Joe's are.
Do another ad. All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars.

Speaker 1 One-made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.

Speaker 1 Only Only one Reese's Peanut Butter Lover's protein bar is made with Reese's peanut butter, and only one Hershey's cookies and cream protein bars is made with Hershey's cookie bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar.

Speaker 1 One bars are the perfect protein bar to get you through your busy day, whether you need a quick pick-me-up between meetings or you need some fuel to power you through your next workout.

Speaker 1 One also has other delicious flavors like birthday cake, maple glazed donut, and blueberry cobbler. Find all one bars at a retailer near you or on amazon.com.
We forgot Joe Theisman.

Speaker 1 So Joe Theisman's one and one. That's right, yeah.
So

Speaker 1 it was Joe, Joe Namath, four for Joe Montana. Joe Theisman won one, and then Joe Flacco.
So that's your seven. Okay.
That makes sense. Got it.

Speaker 1 And then your losers are Joe Theisman lost one, and then Minnesota Vikings quarterback in Super Bowl four, Joe Cap

Speaker 1 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 one and two? One and two. Now they're one and two.

Speaker 1 They've got to be one of the two. Now they're one and two, yep.
Now they're one and two.

Speaker 1 Who's the other one? Ryan. And

Speaker 1 did Matt Hasselbeck?

Speaker 1 Yeah, Matt Hasselback. There you go.
Matt Hasselbach.

Speaker 1 I didn't know that.

Speaker 1 The monkeys off the mat.

Speaker 1 All right, so there's your Joe and Matt update that everyone was looking for. Yeah.
Aaron Donald is going to sell sell so many fucking sports drinks of whatever sports drink he's selling.

Speaker 1 Pat Kavanaugh, shout out. Yeah, he's an all-time guest.

Speaker 1 The way that he took over the second half, that's why Aaron Donald is Aaron Donald.

Speaker 1 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 Donald.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Don't let the pass, you know, like get the ball out fast.

Speaker 1 They had a couple run plays that were okay uh 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 and 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 Mass Effort throws an immediate pick, pick, another field goal for the Bengals, right?

Speaker 1 So they're what? What was it? It was 20 to 22 to 13. Yeah, right.

Speaker 1 The Rams couldn't move the ball. There was that stretch where they just couldn't move the ball.
They were trying. McVay,

Speaker 1 I love sports because we all live so much in the moment. Yeah, profound.
We all live so much in the moment.

Speaker 1 There was a moment there in the third quarter where McVay was getting trashed, and rightfully so, because it was run, run,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 They had, I think they had three, they had three three and outs, three, three, and outs in a row in the second half.

Speaker 1 Like, if the Bengals 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.

Speaker 1 And it felt 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

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 It would have come off clean. Yeah, you should have cut my foot off.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 He's a tough motherfucker and he battled through it and he played well when it counted.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And that he's playing in the second half of the fucking Super Bowl with a torn ACL and playing pretty decently. And even on that last play where Donald got to him,

Speaker 1 there was a moment when the ball was fluttering through the air where I was like, holy shit, Joe's going to complete this pass. Why was Joe Mixon not in the game there?

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, they put Perrine in. Yeah.
No idea.

Speaker 1 That was dumb. And

Speaker 1 I just feel like you got to have your best players in that moment. Like they'll probably look back.
The Super Bowl isn't one or lost on one play, but that one and man.

Speaker 1 Bengals, like having second and one in that situation, because even when Joe Burrow gets the ball, when the Bengals get the ball back after the Cooper Cup touchdown, it's 23-20 and there's like a minute and a half left.

Speaker 1 They have two timeouts. Everyone was like, all right, this is going to be tough because obviously the Rams defense has been incredible.

Speaker 1 But that first play to Jamar Chase that he rips off like a 25-yard up the sideline on like a seven-yard pass. He just gets extra yards.
You're like, okay, this is like bare minimum.

Speaker 1 They're going to have a chance for a long field goal. And then they get that second and one.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 and then especially against a Rams defensive line that was just crushing their offensive line. And it comes like, man,

Speaker 1 you'll think back to that second and one. Like you have second and one.
If you get 10 more yards, you have a pretty good chance.

Speaker 1 Like Evan McPherson, from what we've seen, is kicking a 60-yarder and making that. Yeah.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I love it when announcers say that. Like they should hold their heads high.
It's like, you know, they probably feel like shit because they just lost the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 They had a couple swoons. They had a couple moments where it's like, are they good on special teams? Can they run the ball?

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think I said, like, this team is built like a football team should be, not like some of these other basketball teams out there. Right.
They go out and play football.

Speaker 1 These guys, these football players, they play football. They play football and they do it well.
We We did, to our credit, we did say that they lead the league in guys.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 As first reported by us, also, if we want to do a quick couple first reports, our very own insider, Ben Mintz, has reported that Andrew Whitworth is going to retire.

Speaker 1 Incredible run. Probably a Hall of Famer.
I don't know what it will end up being like because I think he had three all-pros.

Speaker 1 Ends, though, all-time career where he goes last game at LSU, national championship, last game in the NFL,

Speaker 1 Super Bowl champion, and he also won

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Who gets in the Hall of Fame first? Matthew Safford or Aaron Rodgers?

Speaker 1 Probably Matthew Safford. Matthew Safford.
Matthew Safford. Yeah.
because Aaron probably won't be allowed in due to his vaccination status. Yeah, that's true, that's true.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I think Boomer Saison 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, nope, I'm not going out to that lib hell hole.

Speaker 1 I'm not doing it. LA, fuck that town.
He

Speaker 1 Rogers' suit. Yeah, well, I'll give Aaron Rodgers some credit.
He won his, what, fourth MVP?

Speaker 1 He wears a loss for like a few months. And I, like, that's, he does get credit for that.
He looked awful. Yeah, it affects his face.
Yeah. Like, his eyes spotted a little bit.

Speaker 1 His hair gets a little greasier. Yeah.
His suits get a little browner.

Speaker 1 He did look like he was like the sleaziest used car salesman. Yeah.
He looked like he should have been in Fargo.

Speaker 1 What else? So

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Even that one tweet that was maybe the worst tweet that's ever been tweeted where it was Odell Beckham crying and it said,

Speaker 1 when you don't do anything on the class project, but still get an A,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 He had 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.
They'll take any excuse.

Speaker 1 That's big cat, you would absolutely do that. Yeah, of course.
Yeah, no, you got to be biased.

Speaker 1 If Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdowns in the first half of a Super Bowl and they end up winning by a point, you would definitely be like, did nothing on the class project?

Speaker 1 Yes, got hurt.

Speaker 1 By the way, just a quick update: breaking moves.

Speaker 1 I can't do it.

Speaker 1 The dead Harambe shirts are number one seller right now. So you've got a lot of sickos out there.
That sucks because we told everybody not to buy that shirt explicitly.

Speaker 1 It just got a text saying it's going like hot cakes. I'll bet you

Speaker 1 there are probably a lot of people buying it that aren't even Rams fans. Yeah, I hope they buy it and burn it.
Yeah. Yeah, please do that.
Yeah. Burn it.

Speaker 1 You know what? I'll double my previous donation for every shirt that's burned.

Speaker 1 It's gross. It's disgusting.
It's gross, and I will not have it. Cooper Cop definitely deserved to win the MVP.
What was that?

Speaker 1 I think there's someone behind the screen.

Speaker 1 The Wizard of Oz. That blew my mind.

Speaker 1 What the fuck?

Speaker 1 The person behind the curtain.

Speaker 1 We should do who's back in the helmets. That's probably

Speaker 1 Harambee. Why are we wearing the helmets? Harambe's ghost.
Why are we wearing the helmets?

Speaker 1 Careful. Don't go too close.

Speaker 1 We should be wearing the helmets.

Speaker 1 Oh, no. Oh, no.

Speaker 1 These helmets are... Oh, wait, are they fake ones? No.

Speaker 1 All right, so what else we got on the game? Do we have our list of commercials? Yeah, Jake said, I'm going to FaceTime Jake. Oh, wait.

Speaker 1 Honestly, I'm not going to be conceited here, but I thought you were going to start the show.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 You didn't know about the ball. I didn't know.
Guess what? No, no.

Speaker 1 There's never been a bet that has been researched less than what Hank did with this bet, including, my helmet is really tight, including

Speaker 1 Hank turning to me last night and being like, oh, wait, there we go. All right.

Speaker 1 This was just, this was drunk dreaming. This was a drunk dream.
What if the opening

Speaker 1 kick the ball is really bad and he kicks it to like the 30 and they fair catch it? And I was like, well, that wouldn't be a touchback. Not definitely not a touchback.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 There was also a moment where Hank was like, well, wait, what if,

Speaker 1 what if the Bengals, so I want the Bengals to win the toss and then

Speaker 1 they'll defer

Speaker 1 and then the Rams will kick off. Yeah, but you guys, right before the game, I was like, I want the Bengals

Speaker 1 to win the kickoff, and you guys like yelled at me. So then the Bengals won the toss, and I got mad.

Speaker 1 And then, like, I was like 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.

Speaker 1 It was so confusing. It worked out, though.

Speaker 1 The bottom line is, shout out to Kick Pharson, Saint, recurring guest, King. That was the other thing.
We have Kick Pharshin shirts on sale, but

Speaker 1 the smartest person, the smartest football analyst when it comes to kickoffs. Yeah.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 No one should ever doubt him again. That's a fact.
He also said to me drunk on Saturday night we were out to dinner.

Speaker 1 He's like, do you think maybe Evan McPherson listened and now knows that he's got to warm up the ball?

Speaker 1 I was like, I don't think he has the option, but Hank was like, I think that this bet is getting enough

Speaker 1 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 two yards deep.
Yes. It was an electric moment.
Never a doubt.

Speaker 1 Hank deserves all the credit. That was awesome.

Speaker 1 For our commercial update, I'm about to FaceTime Jake. He's got his top three commercials.
Oh, hell yes.

Speaker 1 This helmet is way too small for my head.

Speaker 1 Put the phone in there. It's hurting so bad.

Speaker 1 I'm going to take my helmet off.

Speaker 3 What's up?

Speaker 1 Hey, Jake.

Speaker 1 How are you? Doing good. Are you driving right now?

Speaker 3 I am driving.

Speaker 1 This is very unsafe, Jake.

Speaker 3 I'm not looking at you.

Speaker 1 All right, yeah, he's not looking. It's a lookaway interview with Jake Marsh.

Speaker 1 Jake, we're hoping to get an update on the commercials because we didn't really watch them that much.

Speaker 1 So, as our sports business reporter, what are the three best commercials during this week's Super Bowl?

Speaker 3 So, for me, the cars dominated this year's broadcast.

Speaker 3 One of them, obviously, I have to award it to the Electric Avenue BMW commercial for the program.

Speaker 3 And the other,

Speaker 3 I like the Austin Powers one. It's always great when the original past comes back together.

Speaker 1 Jake, you're not going to do

Speaker 1 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 Silver commercial.
Tony Kills Christopher.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 But we will do the truck ad. That actually really happened.
No joke. We wrote a Super Bowl commercial.
Did everyone like it?

Speaker 3 And yeah, and recurring guests was in that one, too.

Speaker 1 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 Bacolo.

Speaker 1 He loved training. And

Speaker 1 honorable mention, only because of his performance,

Speaker 3 Brooks Kepka. Only because of his performance.
The mountains were blue in that commercial.

Speaker 1 Oh, I didn't even see that one.

Speaker 1 What was that a performance for, Jake? Because of his performance.

Speaker 3 Nothing else about that one.

Speaker 1 Got it. Got it.
All right. Thank you, Jake.
Love you, Jake.

Speaker 1 I do think there was.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think there were some good ads. The Austin Powers one, I was more shocked.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 we also had the

Speaker 1 Kingpin ad, which was very good. We had like Jimmy Butler, Serena, Peyton Manning.
That was a good ad.

Speaker 1 The halftime show was incredible.

Speaker 1 Now,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And it worked because I was like, they they played every hit from like every portion of our lives.

Speaker 1 This one was legitimately shocking for me to see people tell me that I'm old for liking this halftime show. Right.
It was crazy, but it was also like a wake-up moment. It's like, wait,

Speaker 1 I'm the bad guy now.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 And I like the Rolling Stones, but everyone's like, man,

Speaker 1 like only people over 50 like this. This, this is a halftime show where, wouldn't you say, Hank, like 18-year-olds are like, what's going on? Yeah, probably.

Speaker 1 All those songs were, except Kendrick 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.
I loved every second.

Speaker 1 It was crazy to see 50 Cent 2 hanging upside down.

Speaker 1 He's put on...

Speaker 1 He looks great.

Speaker 1 No, no, 50 Cent looks great. Careful.
He looks great. He'll fucking end you on the list.
I know he will.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I think we did it, guys.

Speaker 1 I think we beat racism. Changes happened.

Speaker 1 What else we got? What else? What else? So there was a rule. The one commercial, I don't know what it was for, but I think I liked it.

Speaker 1 It was just a QR code that was on the screen for an extended period of time. A lot of crypto ads.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 It it might have been a crypto ad. I was just thinking that

Speaker 1 putting a QR code on the screen and then just having it go directly to your own personal Venmo,

Speaker 1 that would be an interesting case to see what the return on investment would be because it's like $6 million, right?

Speaker 1 If it was just $6 million of my Venmo, or excuse me, Cash App on the screen, do you think I would make $6 million?

Speaker 1 No. You think strangers would send me $6 million? No, probably not.
Fine, I'd just send them to a horn site then. Because they would be like, is this the guy who's wearing the Harambe shirt? I'd just

Speaker 1 go see

Speaker 1 meat spin, meat spin. Yeah, see how he spins.
Now we have to do that. This is our Zoomer.
This is our Zoomer portion of the show.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 It was old LeBron, present-day LeBron, in high school LeBron's bedroom. Kind of of creepy.
Yep, that's

Speaker 1 problematic. A satutory rape, brother.
So, but it was very funny to like see it actually happen. Or it's like, holy shit, this is every LeBron Instagram caption ever come to life.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 You want to do that?

Speaker 1 What if I just go sit on my 16-year-old self's bed for a while while and put my arm around him it's his little saint james that's what i'm gonna start calling lebron from now on it was uh it was it was baby braun so my who's back of the week was gonna be baby braun and this week's who's back 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 uh it was it was everything that i wanted from a lebron james commercial just a tribute to lebron james yeah uh all right let's see what else oh i had i had a couple more oh there was there was a great tweet during the halftime show.

Speaker 1 I want to read this one out loud. I know.

Speaker 1 If you aren't going to read the one I'm thinking of, then we have two great tweets.

Speaker 1 It's got to be the same one. So this is from Charlie Kirk.
He said, oh, no. He said.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 The NFL is now the League of Sexual Anarchy. This halftime show should not be allowed on television.
Sexual anarchy sounds pretty awesome. Yeah, that sounds sick.
But the tweet I saw, which was

Speaker 1 equally as great, but for a different reason, said from Andy Levy, said, okay, if Tupac didn't come back for that, I guess it's official. And I think that's probably true.
That's fair.

Speaker 1 We can finally, finally,

Speaker 1 it's a death certificate can be issued.

Speaker 1 He definitely would have been there for that.

Speaker 1 It was, no, I love that halftime show. I know that probably makes us sound old, but it was awesome.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 Maybe this is like me still in self-denial, but I feel like even young kids that are watching that are like, yeah, I gained gained a lot of respect for those older guys. Well, Kendrick saved it.

Speaker 1 Kendrick saved us. He was the bridge for like, you know, 16-year-olds watching it being like, who are these guys?

Speaker 1 And I also shout out Dr. Dre, who like pretended that he was producing the whole thing.

Speaker 1 That was awesome. So I was just like, I don't know what he was doing.

Speaker 1 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 LA every year. Oh, yes.
The halftime show should be

Speaker 1 a lot. Cut away to it.
Put them in a stadium. Have them perform in that stadium.
sell tickets.

Speaker 1 They'd probably sell just as many tickets in Los Angeles if it was a big-time music event and then cut back.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So he had no mask on.

Speaker 1 Yeah, well, I'm sure that will be a doot to do tomorrow. Wait, was it with Magic Johnson again? No, it wasn't.

Speaker 1 He was just standing there, like having a full conversation, but holding his breath. That was

Speaker 1 the opposite of Bill clinton i smoked but i didn't inhale he 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

Speaker 1 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 speech because i knew that garcetti was gonna be a shark what did he own so i i don't know what the eventual mayor's bet was but purevolt the guy from cincinnati was going on the news all week, just fucking roasting Los Angeles.

Speaker 1 He was like, he was like, you guys are Los Angeles with two S's. Oh.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 He was firing nuclear missiles. I'm sad that we have to wait another year to get Mayor's bets.
I'm sure they'll really figure it out by then. Damn.
All right.

Speaker 1 I was trying to take notes while we were on the live stream. Very hard to do.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 The only thing I wrote was Stafford point interception. That was funny.
Yeah. That was that he did point.
Yeah. Anytime a quarterback points, they're about to fuck something up real bad.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And and then Bengals going for it five minutes in the first quarter, put a pin in it.

Speaker 1 That sucked because I actually liked the aggressiveness, and

Speaker 1 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 off sides on that. Okay, so NFL Ray.
That's what I put a pin in on.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because they did score. The Rams did score off of that.

Speaker 1 You think I can jewel through this helmet?

Speaker 1 Yeah, definitely can. Anything is possible.
10X.

Speaker 1 It was a good Super Bowl, though. It was a very good Super Bowl.
Great Super Bowl week.

Speaker 1 Any Super Bowl week recap from Thursday, Friday, Saturday? I'm tired. Yeah, I don't remember.
I went to Gronk's party for a little bit.

Speaker 1 I think there are more Gronkowskis than there used to be. Yeah.
I think that they've multiplied.

Speaker 1 So you went to Gronk's party on Friday night. You saw our good friend Coach Vrabel after he won Coach of the Year.

Speaker 1 Shout out Coach Vrabes. Shout out to Coach Vrabes.
He just bought a horse. Yeah, he's a horse owner.

Speaker 1 He told me what he's thinking about for names.

Speaker 1 So he did buy it because of coach of the year. Like that was, I think it was officially like I bought coach of the year.
I'm buying myself a horse. I love that.
That's actually a perfect trophy.

Speaker 1 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 coy.

Speaker 1 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? We want to fuck a fish.
You got a fish fucking problem?

Speaker 1 What's going on here?

Speaker 1 Koi bad. What? I like koi pond.
Koi pond. I like don't be coy.
And then on Friday night, I mean, don't be coy is saying don't be coach of the year. Right.
That's true. I like Koi Pond.
Yeah, Koi Pond.

Speaker 1 I was able to share some beers with Coach Chip Kelly, who hopefully would be a guest on the podcast at some point.

Speaker 1 Although when I was very drunk, he was like, he kept on being like, I don't understand your podcast. Like, why do people listen?

Speaker 1 And I was like, see, like, if you came on, I would read you my mean tweets to you. And then I started reading some of them.
And he was like, what?

Speaker 1 Like, one of them was like, Chip Kelly's got shit for brains and he's like he's like your 90-year-old grandfather you got to take away his license like oh that's probably a bad one so that was for the sam bradford trade was that did he did he laugh no he didn't laugh he was like oh who won that trade uh he he did actually sam bradford good question sam bradford did um

Speaker 1 what what else from hank you had a great

Speaker 1 Just a great day. With TJ Watkin on Wednesday, Hank

Speaker 1 almost slept through a 12 o'clock interview. No, nope.
See, thankfully, my good friend William Football enlightened me to this fact, and I prescribed to it.

Speaker 1 I did not sleep, and I just woke up and fell back asleep. No, no, but you, you were awake.

Speaker 1 I was awake in the morning. Yeah, yeah, you didn't wake up.
You were still awake at 8 a.m., went to sleep, and then woke up at noon.

Speaker 1 Yeah, listen, we've all, 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

Speaker 1 I, the the interview was at noon every day. We were waking up at 8 a.m., 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.

Speaker 1 Might have gone 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.

Speaker 1 Thankfully, the interview was right upstairs. And, you know, I was only two minutes late, coffin time,

Speaker 1 25 minutes late.

Speaker 1 Comeback Player of the Year, Comeback Producer of the Year. It's Bubba.
Bubba had a good week. He was there.
Bubba was rock solid, showing up, only falling asleep at appropriate times. Yeah.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 On Saturday night, or last night, we were watching, we all went out to dinner, and then we, like big team dinner, then we went to watch the UFC pay-per-view and we go to this room to watch UFC pay-per-view And someone comes up to me and they're like, Yo, yo, I think Liam's asleep.

Speaker 1 And I look back, and he's just sleeping in his chair. I'm like, Yeah, that's fine.
Whatever. That's like totally appropriate time to sleep.
Like, yeah, this is, it's totally cool. Yeah.

Speaker 1 No, Bubba was, Bubba had a good week. It was right during the main event.
He's like, Yeah, he's checked out. It's fine.
Also, Jake, the Jake and Billy news clip. Awesome.
All-time funny.

Speaker 1 If you haven't seen it, it's on our Instagram. They got interviewed by the news, and Billy basically victim-blamed.
Yeah, he's like,

Speaker 1 Don't wear Rolexes. Yeah, whatever it was.
Cartier. Yeah.
Don't wear Cartier.

Speaker 1 It was a good Super Bowl week, though. I'm very, very tired.
I think we all are.

Speaker 1 One last thing about the commercials, did you happen to see the Miley Cyrus one? No. It was pretty good.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And you said, I'm going to say 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.

Speaker 1 It's perfect.

Speaker 1 Then they start bonking me on my next tweet where 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 they figured out a way to do it um

Speaker 1 great super bowl great season great great uh

Speaker 1 Great football season. We're going to take a little break, by the way, just so everyone knows.
We'll have a show on Wednesday with TJ Watt.

Speaker 1 Then we have a life episode coming up on Friday with Rosillo and Titus, which was awesome. Monday is President's Day.
So we're going to take Monday off. Out of respect for Joe.
Out of respect.

Speaker 1 Yep, for Joe Biden. And then Wednesday, we will be back, and we have a couple really good Super Bowl interviews.
So we're going to take a quick break. Everyone's going to take a little vacation.

Speaker 1 I'm going to lock myself in my basement, actually, in honor of Joe. Yeah, we have earned it.
We've definitely earned the vacation. Yes.

Speaker 1 Clap it.

Speaker 1 Good job.

Speaker 1 All right, let's do who's back of the week, and then we'll end the show.

Speaker 1 You have one last ad, PFT.

Speaker 4 Man, I'll tell you what. When you're you're hungry out there, you start acting like a rookie quarterback in his first game, making bad decisions, messing up the basics, being all out of sorts.

Speaker 4 That's where Snickers comes in, man. That thing is packed: roasted peanuts, nugget, caramel, milk, chocolate.
It's like the MVP of candy bars.

Speaker 4 And when you bite into it, boom, it sorts you out, gets your head back in the game of life, satisfying your hunger. Remember this: Snickers handles your hunger so you can handle everything else.

Speaker 4 Snickers satisfies, man. That's a winning play.

Speaker 1 Okay, who's back of the week? We'll send everyone on their way.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I thought we actually did a pretty good job bringing it down. Just the Joe Down that we had.
The visuals all the time.

Speaker 1 You got to go to the YouTube to see what you guys look like right now. Oh, yeah, we're in the helmets.
We put on the helmets. Yep.
We're football guys. We love football.

Speaker 1 I have a few who's backs if that's all right yeah go off because i got mine yeah we talked about mine already uh okay my first one is hole in ones waste management open was this weekend one of the best i think sporting event crowd scenes uh that i've never been to that look so so so much fun uh there was two hole in ones this weekend one was a rider i forget who the other guy was but you know 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 hole-in-ons.

Speaker 1 No, I was going to say like

Speaker 1 riders know better than to throw drinks at people, right? Riders are back.

Speaker 1 Yeah, um, I writers are back. That's true.
I had three different friend groups that were going to the waste management open as a bachelor party. Brag on how many friends you got.

Speaker 1 Well, I'm sorry, I had three different friends in their own independent friend outside of me. Are you counting cons?

Speaker 1 No,

Four.

Speaker 1 Man with all the friends. It's going wrong at all, bro.
Yeah, sorry. not a friend say say some social friends

Speaker 1 Can't wait. Holy fuck.
My other

Speaker 1 who's back of the week is Kanye.

Speaker 1 I don't know if you guys follow him on Instagram. He's been going on, you know, he does this often where he like posts a bunch and then deletes everything.

Speaker 1 But he's been going in on Pete Davinson, Kanye West, fighting with Billie Eilish. He like hired a meme guy who's taking memes off the internet and posting those.
Like really

Speaker 1 cheesily done memes, but they're very funny. He posted like a picture of just.

Speaker 1 shout out memes by the way who just he was like you know what you know what the super bowl needs more harambe and he was right our biggest tweet all of our biggest tweets

Speaker 1 you gotta go with the numbers you know

Speaker 1 we're an analytics driven uh podcast like a secret part of memes that is like privately hoping that another gorilla gets shot soon memes

Speaker 1 No, he's crying now. Way to go, PFT.
But look, he just, he posted just like an old picture because Kanye is, you know, a fashion guy, and he just can't stand that Pete Davidson dresses like this.

Speaker 1 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 not like he did like, he did a whole bunch. He was.
Wait, what?

Speaker 1 Pete Davidson slept with Hillary, Hillary Clinton? No. Yes.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 With just a picture of Pete Davidson's Hillary Clinton tattoo.

Speaker 1 That'd be so sick if he did actually, if he was like currently piping both Kim Kardashian and Hillary Clinton. Yeah.

Speaker 1 The man who has it all.

Speaker 1 A little something for everyone. Yeah, but there's a bunch.
I mean, some of them are funny. Some of them are a little wild.
He's probably going to delete them all as he does.

Speaker 1 Well, I hopped in his live and just asking people for Super Bowl picks.

Speaker 1 People weren't in the mood for that. And they all changed their Instagram profile to match Kanye's, I think.

Speaker 1 There was one picture I saw that Kanye put up that was a bunch of people out to dinner and Pete Davidson was going the picture and then he just put a red X over Pete Davidson's face like one that he did on his own really great school burn book shit yeah I like that I respect that

Speaker 1 from that honestly when when one of the most famous people in the world just puts an X over your face X you yep X you out is that it that's it that's multiple who's backs good job thanks good job um PFT your who's back of the century uh my who's back was gonna be baby braun yeah but we discussed him already um my who's back of the week is vaping everyone's doing it It's great.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Do you mean like unhealthy or both? I feel unhealthy, both, but I do look cool. Yeah.
It's kind of like

Speaker 1 the

Speaker 1 beauties in the eye of the beholder. Yeah.
What level of sick does PFT look? Has anybody else ever vaped through a football helmet? I don't think so. Nope.
Facts. Nope.
All right, my who's back.

Speaker 1 I got two who's backed.

Speaker 1 Guess who I saw on

Speaker 1 Wednesday. Wednesday.
Garrett. Thursday.
Guess who I saw? Thursday. You want me to guess who you saw? Guess who I saw? Pete Davidson.
No. Tupac.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 I saw.

Speaker 1 New Beyond Raw Lid V2.

Speaker 1 GNC's number one pre-workout now with harder hitting energy an intense mind-body connection

Speaker 1 and enhanced endurance support

Speaker 1 this isn't just a pre-workout it's precision engineering for your body

Speaker 1 supercharge your workout with new beyond raw lid v2 available now at gnc and gnc.com

Speaker 1 Also just great people watching events, the Super Bowl parties.

Speaker 1 Like you get a 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 this is very funny to attend like i was at what'd you just say you get what no what'd you just say it's hot kids and 60 year old men's hot girls yeah

Speaker 1 okay fake a little plastic maybe some surgery with old guys okay got it so la that yeah that's what i'm saying right it was funny that is funny why what what did i say that was wrong first time he said

Speaker 1 he said, yeah, it's fine.

Speaker 1 If there's something you want to tell us. Hot plastic guys.

Speaker 1 You don't have anything in common to talk about? I saw some of those too.

Speaker 1 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 rappers off my screen.

Speaker 1 And the 18-year-old girl was like, who are these guys? Yeah. That's common ground.
They both hated it for different.

Speaker 1 Zoomers handshake hating the halftime show. This is our halftime.
Yeah. Our time to shine.

Speaker 1 And then my other who's back of the week is stupid tweets that try to be sentimental because Adam Schaefer's tweet after the Super Bowl makes no sense.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 like to think that Adam does create these himself. I feel like he opens up Adobe and he's like, I'm going to put Calvin Johnson because he played with Matt Stafford.

Speaker 1 I'm going to put Eli Manning because he played with Odell. Right.

Speaker 1 And also, it works if it was Matt Stafford winning a Super Bowl with the Lions or OBJ winning a a Super Bowl with the Browns, then it'd be like to all those who said it couldn't be done, yeah, everyone, yeah.

Speaker 1 But this one, like, no, they were a really good team. Who was the third one? You said Eli Manning, Jarvis Landry, and Jarvis.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Jarvis Landry, that's 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.

Speaker 1 The Jarvis Landry one, it's like, why is Jarvis, why is Jarvis including that? He played with Odell for six months.

Speaker 1 We got, by the way, just a little update: we got people going crazy with the screen grabs in the in the chat from from all throughout the game. Someone holding, I think it was T.

Speaker 1 Higgins, like that 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.

Speaker 1 I think you get a day of that if you're a diehard Bengals fan. You can't, but

Speaker 1 the longest play, the biggest explosive play of the game was the most blatant face mask ever.

Speaker 1 It literally changed that play. Like, 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.

Speaker 1 Right, but that's the beauty of the NFL rigged community is you can overlook that as long as you have other stuff that points in different directions. Yeah, you probably are.
You're right.

Speaker 1 You're right. I fully support the NFL rigged community.
You need some sort of copium to get you through these next weeks if you're a Bengals fan.

Speaker 1 That's why I think that we should make our own NFL rig compilation.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 Like, there was, I don't know. It was just, I never thought, like, oh, man, this game, wow, it got stolen.
Right. Yeah, I don't, this was not an NFL stolen game.
It's an NFL rigged game. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Memes or Bubba, you guys got any who's backs to end it?

Speaker 1 No?

Speaker 1 Anything else from Super Bowl week? I'm very very excited for the TJ Watt interview, actually. Yeah, it was funny.
I thought that was what I almost killed him. I almost killed him.

Speaker 1 I had to tune in on Wednesday. I literally almost killed him in the show.
That was taped on Friday at noon. Hank's

Speaker 1 so

Speaker 1 drunk still.

Speaker 1 He was there and he doesn't remember. 3 p.m.
Eastern.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 it was a funny interview because I think that Big Cat and I were also... a little fuzzy from the night before.

Speaker 1 So it's going to be one of those interviews, which goes a little off the rails at times, but it was a good one.

Speaker 1 I'm on like three or four days in a 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?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And then just getting really frustrated and going back to sleep. It's happened like three times in a row.
Your actual alarm clock or your phone? Phone. But nothing's wrong with it.

Speaker 1 I just get really upset and I like, I like press a bunch of buttons and I'm like, oh, I'm done.

Speaker 1 Somehow, the worst feature on an iPhone is the alarm clock, which had to be made like hundreds of years ago. Yeah.
Which is like the easiest thing.

Speaker 1 Literally hundreds of years ago.

Speaker 1 Like it fucking sucks.

Speaker 1 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 rombe shirt.

Speaker 1 He's represented well. We'll be fine.
We'll still sleep on

Speaker 1 fucking, what, 10,000 thread count sheets? Yeah, it's pretty good. Well, on the Helix mattress, the death of Harambe.

Speaker 1 An empire built on a dead gorilla. What if I told you? We are Boco.

Speaker 1 We're Boco Harambe.

Speaker 1 Harambe died so that

Speaker 1 we could all go on vacation.

Speaker 1 Shit. I'll go to Uganda.
I'll go to Uganda and see some of the lowlands.

Speaker 1 We'll find a new Harambe. Yeah.
I'll capture him. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Like King Kong. I miss that guy.
He was definitely watching. He probably thinks this game was rigged.
Yeah, for sure. He probably is like NFL rigged.
All right, let's do numbers. Give me a

Speaker 1 57. Give me a 21.
All right.

Speaker 1 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. I mean, oh no, I lost all my money.
Never mind.

Speaker 1 Three for memes, sir. 0 to 100.

Speaker 1 We got a new sound guy for this. 63.
63. Okay, so 63-3.
What was it, Inc.? 57. 57? 6.
21. I'll go 56 for Super Bowl 56.
End of the season. It's over.
91.

Speaker 1 91. What a football season.

Speaker 1 91 is not on a roulette wheel.

Speaker 1 I personally think last week, the last four shows have been some of our best.

Speaker 1 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 Bowl weeks.

Speaker 1 We always do well, but I feel like last week was

Speaker 1 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.
