1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Mitch McCann high, Hi, mate, how are you? Yeah?

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 2: Good?

3
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: So we've got the New England Patriots up against the

4
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. But a game that's been held in San Francisco.

5
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 2: Why is that? Yeah? This is interesting. Every year, you know,

6
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 2: different city's bid for the Super Bowl and they decide

7
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 2: a number of years in advance where that's going to be.

8
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: And I think it's interesting this year because San Francisco

9
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 2: has actually had a lot of negative headlines in the

10
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: last couple of years here in the US. There's been

11
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: a real homeless crisis because of the opioid epidemic. But

12
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 2: in the last year or so, San Francisco is really

13
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 2: making this great turn around. It's becoming the great city

14
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 2: again here in the US, and hosting the Super Bowl

15
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 2: seems to be another example of what it's been able

16
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 2: to achieve. So I think it's probably a really good

17
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 2: choice to have the super Bowl this year. And of

18
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 2: course it's really warm for people traveling there. It's about

19
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,599
Speaker 2: minus nine solsius where I am at the moment in

20
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: New York, so much better place to be watching sport.

21
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: I was going to ask about that because we've seen

22
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: some of the footage of that cold's wave that's been

23
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: rolling across the states. So Sam Frean's okay?

24
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: Is it Sam Frands okay? Because it's on the West

25
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: cost so it's a really warm sort of place to go.

26
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 2: I think it'll probably be you know, fifteen to twenty

27
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: degrees today. It's a good place for key we stay

28
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: here at this time of year. New York not so much.

29
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, So you weren't lucky enough to snitch some

30
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: sort of media pass or something, because people pay thousands

31
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: on thousands for a ticket to get in, right.

32
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 2: They do, they do? No, I wasn't lucky enough to

33
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 2: get one this year. The ticket prices are apparently starting

34
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 2: around six thousand UIs dollars, which I worked out to

35
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 2: be nine hundred and eighty New Zealand dollars. That's for

36
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: a basic seat. But what's interesting actually is like a

37
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 2: lot of sports games over here are really expensive, Like

38
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 2: the All Blacks game ed Chicago where they've played a

39
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: couple of months ago, that was incredibly expensive, basic seats

40
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 2: going for like you know, eight hundred bucks u wes.

41
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: So all sports games are reasonably expensive here. For the

42
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, of course, is on another level.

43
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: Yet, well it doesn't sort of hold beat the punters.

44
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: We bemoan fifty bucks to go and catch the crusaders

45
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: and action from this weekend. So, yeah, you're hosting the

46
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: watch party, and you got the buddies coming around. You've

47
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: got some chicken wings out.

48
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 2: We were you know, like, I'll be honest with you,

49
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: because my wife's not listening. I was reluctant to have

50
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 2: a party this year. I kind of just wanted to

51
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: sit and watch yet. And then I came home and

52
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: this party's sort of been organized anyway. So we've got

53
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: about twelve people coming around this afternoon. We've made a cake,

54
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: well I haven't made a cake. Olivia's made a cake

55
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: in the shape of a football. We've got a heap

56
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 2: of wings, We've got some corn chips and all that stuff.

57
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: So it's going to be an exciting afternoon, I think.

58
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: But the problem is we've got work tomorrow, right, so

59
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 2: you've got to kind of be careful around what you

60
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: consume this afternoon. I don't want to have a headache

61
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: tomorrow back at work. But we're going to have a party,

62
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: and we're gonna have some far this afternoon.

63
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: They should make this a national holoday by now you

64
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: wouldn't be alone. I read this morning is estimated twenty

65
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: six million Americans. We'll be calling in sick tomorrow, conveniently

66
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: because of the game. Are you adding to some of

67
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: the crazy stamps, Well, sounds like you are in regard

68
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: to sort of how much is consumed today.

69
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is quite incredible. It's an amazing event in

70
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: this country, I have to say, and it's amazing for

71
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 2: anyone that likes to eat food. If I look at

72
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 2: some of the statistics here, one point four to one

73
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 2: point five billion chicken wings consumed today, eight million pounds

74
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 2: of GUACAMOLDI get the twelve million pounds of bacon, fourteen

75
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: five hundred tons of chips, and three hundred and twenty

76
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 2: five million gallons of beer. That is incredible. Although I

77
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 2: know living here for a number of years now, people

78
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: do have big appetites. But is that is next level?

79
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: No one's going hungry. Well, it's a marathon, not a sprint,

80
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: right when you go and throw in all those air brakes,

81
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: it can take about four hours to complete the game.

82
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: But it's all part of the occasion. Are you a

83
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: fan of the bad Bunny? Just super quick? The halftime entertainer,

84
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not.

85
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: I mean, he seems like a nice guy, but I

86
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: don't know any of his music, and I've seen some

87
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: videos around it. A lot of the players don't know

88
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: any of the music as well. I think what's going

89
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: to be interesting is that this has become really political

90
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: in the United States. Donald Trump wasn't happy that Bad

91
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: Money was chosen. I think there's a fear that he's

92
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 2: going to make some sort of political statement about immigration

93
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 2: during his halftime show. But at the same time, he's

94
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: really popular among Spanish communities here in the United States.

95
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 2: He won the Grammy for Best Album only a couple

96
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: of days ago, so it's going to be interesting to

97
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 2: see what he does. I'm going to enjoy it. I

98
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 2: won't know what he's saying, but I'm sure he's going

99
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 2: to do a good job.

100
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,119
Speaker 1: All part of the occasion. Leaf it up. Super Bowl.

101
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: Cheers for Darlinggan Mitch McGann
