I'm just trying to use what God has 101 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: given it, brother, and just trying to keep keep pushing. 102 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: So indeed, who you got in the game? Man? Look, 103 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: look I have a little radio show I do every weekend. Man, 104 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: and I found found myself every weekend when I took 105 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: notes about the Philadelphia Eagles, like another boring win. Okay, 106 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 1: another boring wink, you know what I mean? They won 107 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: by two scores again, you know what I mean? You 108 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: know what I mean? And you look at the game, 109 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: it's like, you know, they didn't do anything that's really 110 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: excited me. But then they just want t boys, you know. 111 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: And so that being said, man, you know, I don't 112 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: know how they don't win this game some kind of way. Now, 113 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: I know how they don't win as the great Patrick 114 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: Mahomes does what he does. And I believe if Patrick 115 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: has a chance to win at the end of the game, 116 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: he would, He'll get it done. But I just don't think. 117 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: I think it'll be a two score game late and 118 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: you know they'll find the Eagles all find way to 119 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: win this thing. Well. I love this guy. He knows 120 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 1: a lot more about this game than I do. But 121 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: as as somebody who just watches it and loves it. 122 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: I'm going to Kansas City. I think they've been there. 123 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: I think they know how to win. I think they're 124 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: hard to defend. They got the intangibles, and as you said, Patrick, 125 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: he just finds where if he's there at the end, 126 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: he's gonna find a way to win that game. Okay, 127 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be close. Okay, all right, that's Mike. 128 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: You know I don't mean upsets, Mike.
