Speaker 1: This episode of the Group Chat is brought to you
Speaker 1: by Lift. Skip the hassle of finding and paying for parking,
Speaker 1: take Lift instead. Hey guys, this week on the Group Chat,
Speaker 1: we are recapping our favorite moments from the super Bowl
Speaker 1: in Miami. I think based on the fact that there was,
Speaker 1: you know, a fourth quarter comeback, there were some touchdowns
Speaker 1: in there there at the end, maybe the people are
Speaker 1: giving it more credit than just because of recency bias.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I agree, They're a good game, not a
Speaker 1: great game. There wasn't an all time play from that
Speaker 1: game that's going to make the animals. And then we
Speaker 1: have a segment that includes The Bachelor, The Office, the
Speaker 1: super Bowl, and Oceans eleven all in just a couple
Speaker 1: of minutes. We've talked about this in our office recently.
Speaker 1: I feel like Creed the number of words he says
Speaker 1: on that show is about the lowest of the cast,
Speaker 1: but the like hit rate for each of those words
Speaker 1: it's the highest. And then we end this episode with
Speaker 1: some of our favorite most niculous sports quotes. We have
Speaker 1: that and so much more on this week's the Group Chat.
Speaker 1: You've been added to the Group Chat with your friends
Speaker 1: Caroline can Max Sensen, and Will Brian. The group chat
Speaker 1: is back. We're all together. We are actually doing this
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, which, for the record, is when we always
Speaker 1: try to the group chat. It just doesn't always work
Speaker 1: out that way. Because this off season so far, if
Speaker 1: you have been paying attention at all, has been insane.
Speaker 1: But here we are. It's been nice for these past
Speaker 1: two days or day and a half to catch up
Speaker 1: on work. That's been a new thing for me. This
Speaker 1: is exciting. That is exciting. Although I gotta be honest,
Speaker 1: being in Miami sounded pretty exciting. I would take that.
Speaker 1: You're right. Miami was great, the weather was fantastic, stick
Speaker 1: but we spent much of our time inside a convention center.
Speaker 1: Even though we did joke that I was at the beach,
Speaker 1: I wasn't. Really. I was at the beach for a
Speaker 1: very short amount of time, but it wasn't to just
Speaker 1: lay on the beach and enjoy it. But it was
Speaker 1: wonderful to see and hear and you know, the great
Speaker 1: wonderful games of the beach. Idly tiring just to like
Speaker 1: be standing around or walking around a convention center like
Speaker 1: it's like it's like strangely exhausting. Well, we were talking
Speaker 1: when we went down there for the Super Bowl. Of course,
Speaker 1: think about these NFL temp pole events are you can
Speaker 1: kind of plan the content, but you kind of just
Speaker 1: have to go and see what happens. But this was
Speaker 1: the first experience that I had of we we weren't
Speaker 1: exactly sure what players were going down there. We didn't know,
Speaker 1: you know, at the last second, or maybe a week
Speaker 1: or two before, Matt Rule decided not to go. So
Speaker 1: we knew Dave and Nicole Tepper we're going to be there.
Speaker 1: We knew that maybe we would run into some players.
Speaker 1: We knew Christian had a couple of appearances, but we
Speaker 1: didn't know if any one else would be down there.
Speaker 1: So we're sitting at the convention center just constantly scouring,
Speaker 1: just looking looking. That's exhausting. We were so tired when
Speaker 1: we left, but we didn't really have anything like big
Speaker 1: to show for it. We we threw out a couple
Speaker 1: of pieces of content, but it was crazy to see.
Speaker 1: Just from my perspective. I've never been to the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: so I thought that was really interesting to see. The
Speaker 1: Miami weather was wonderful. But then we left on Friday,
Speaker 1: and that's really when the festivities even kicked up another
Speaker 1: notch and that's when you know d J. Moore, Curtis Samuel,
Speaker 1: We did run into James Bradberry, but Brian Burns went
Speaker 1: down there. So a lot of different players did come
Speaker 1: in for the weekend. We just left and didn't we
Speaker 1: came back. So it was a really cool experience. But
Speaker 1: I'm excited to be back in Charlotte and Charlotte weather
Speaker 1: has been phenomenal with you. Very welcome. Yeah, the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl to not disappoint either. How would you guys rank
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? Wanna just level of enjoyment? Well, first
Speaker 1: of all, we all were incorrect with our predictions. Act
Speaker 1: curse the Niners. I'm so glad that we all did
Speaker 1: it together. But what did we also say that our hearts.
Speaker 1: I was very happy. Yeah, that was very I would
Speaker 1: have been more sad if we were correct. Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: every every everybody, every neutral I think, wanted to see
Speaker 1: Andy Reid win, right, I mean it was big red.
Speaker 1: That was awesome, and and it wasn't a It wasn't
Speaker 1: over at halftime. Yeah, that's what I was somewhat worried about,
Speaker 1: Like you know, the earlier playoff games with the Chiefs
Speaker 1: and you're just like, well, okay, that's it. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: it was obviously a competitive game, and you know it
Speaker 1: took until very late in the fourth quarter for it
Speaker 1: to be decided, but it lacked a real like wow
Speaker 1: moment or moments for me. I don't I don't put
Speaker 1: it up there with you know, if we're gonna start
Speaker 1: tearing Super Bowls and how their entertainment value, I don't
Speaker 1: put it in. And that's hop group. I don't know
Speaker 1: what you thought. Well, I think for most of the
Speaker 1: game it was kind of waiting for something should happen.
Speaker 1: I think I think we're giving it more credit now
Speaker 1: based on the past couple of years. You know, last year,
Speaker 1: what there wasn't a touchdown until the last three minutes.
Speaker 1: I mean, so I think I think based on the
Speaker 1: fact that there was, you know, a fourth quarter comeback,
Speaker 1: there were some touchdowns in there there at the end,
Speaker 1: maybe the people are giving it more credit than just
Speaker 1: because of recency bias. But yeah, I agree, they're not
Speaker 1: a great game. There wasn't an all time play from
Speaker 1: that game that's going to make the animals. You didn't
Speaker 1: like the flip the spine. I mean, it was okay,
Speaker 1: and certainly in Chief's lore third and fifteen will forever
Speaker 1: be you know the fact that Tyreek Hill is that
Speaker 1: wide open and right Mahomes is able to just air
Speaker 1: it out. How was he there? Yeah? I mean that
Speaker 1: was to me, that was the game. It was like
Speaker 1: once that once they got that conversion, all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: it was from a Niner standpoint, it was like, h
Speaker 1: From a Chief standpoint, it felt like we're coming and
Speaker 1: it just they just rolled and for for the longest time,
Speaker 1: it felt like, man, this Chiefs, They're just not gonna
Speaker 1: be able to shake this, shake this off. The Niners
Speaker 1: kind of have the clamps down on the second interception.
Speaker 1: You're thinking like, oh, yeah, it looks like no, this
Speaker 1: is not the Ma Homes where you used to seeing this.
Speaker 1: Chief's offense is kind of just rattled. But I give
Speaker 1: them a lot of credit because with the stakes that
Speaker 1: high and the pressure just like mounting with each passing
Speaker 1: minute you look at the clock and times running out,
Speaker 1: it's easy to kind of just let that overwhelm you.
Speaker 1: And I give that team a lot of credit for
Speaker 1: just being able to fight through it and come back
Speaker 1: and win decisively. You know, put it away. What about
Speaker 1: the commercials What did we think about the commercials this year?
Speaker 1: I like the Jason Momo one, the Google one had
Speaker 1: everyone in the fields. What do we think of the
Speaker 1: NFL to start started off? I thought that was cool too.
Speaker 1: That was cool when they all ran on the field,
Speaker 1: creative to incorporate the commercial with the actual on field,
Speaker 1: and I was I was talking about this, like, I
Speaker 1: think it's cool that, you know, not every team was
Speaker 1: very you know, very represented, Like there weren't really like
Speaker 1: Bucks or Falcons that you thought about out and you know,
Speaker 1: there's McCaffrey, and that's cool that, you know, the Panthers
Speaker 1: were somewhat of a decent part of it. Halftime show
Speaker 1: loved I loved it. What I loved about it was
Speaker 1: they leaned so much into the Miami culture and think
Speaker 1: about what Atlanta could have done. That's what they did.
Speaker 1: In my they went all out for the Miami culture.
Speaker 1: And I think the response has been interesting because if
Speaker 1: you've never been to Miami, you just don't get it.
Speaker 1: You don't understand how international Miami is, how the culture
Speaker 1: is so vibrant. You you can instantly identify the culture
Speaker 1: of Miami. You can't do that anywhere else. I mean really.
Speaker 1: I think I just think the culture is so rich
Speaker 1: there and they leaned into it really hard. I thought
Speaker 1: it was awesome athletically. I don't know if there was
Speaker 1: a more impressive performance then from forty three year old
Speaker 1: Shakira and fifty year old Jennifer completely. I mean, think
Speaker 1: about how crazy that is for them to do what
Speaker 1: they're doing at that age and to look like they
Speaker 1: do while doing it, and it sound like that. I mean,
Speaker 1: that wasn't dubbed. I don't think, I mean that was real.
Speaker 1: I think they did see a little little amount of
Speaker 1: like thinking about all that, like they would be had
Speaker 1: a breath, you know. I think there was a part
Speaker 1: for j Low that people were saying, I think that,
Speaker 1: but who cares? Still? That was that was the whole
Speaker 1: response was and your point, do you also see everything
Speaker 1: else that they're doing? It was? It was overall, it
Speaker 1: was a super Bowl that did not disappoint, even if
Speaker 1: it wasn't exactly you know, the monumental play that we
Speaker 1: were looking for. I thought overall it was a great
Speaker 1: super Bowl. I also wish that when they replay the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl it was the full package, like you get
Speaker 1: the commercials and everything like they're they're replaying the super
Speaker 1: Bowl right now. I want to rewatch the commercials. I
Speaker 1: want to rewatch halftime. I want the whole thing, because
Speaker 1: that's what makes the Super Bowl. You take all that
Speaker 1: stuff away. It's a football game that you know, we're
Speaker 1: going to rewatch on Tuesday. And yes, there are you know,
Speaker 1: some exciting parts of it, but the commercials give you
Speaker 1: a you know, like a wind into the time of
Speaker 1: when that rule was played, you know. To that being said,
Speaker 1: I still probably selfishly and maybe kind of like in
Speaker 1: my own world, you know, like come out, we'll get
Speaker 1: off your eye horse. I felt like some of the
Speaker 1: pregame show, like the pre pregame show, you know, you
Speaker 1: could definitely feel like the producers like, hey make sure
Speaker 1: that people that have never watched a football game can
Speaker 1: get into this. You know. I felt like there was
Speaker 1: a little it was it was dumbed down in a
Speaker 1: lot of ways. It is that way because because I
Speaker 1: get there were more people that watched the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: than voted in the class election, and I get that,
Speaker 1: but I'm also you know, as someone that watches football
Speaker 1: every weekend, you're kind of like, oh god, this is awful. Wow, snooty.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know. You know. What you
Speaker 1: should probably do is go to a better party. If
Speaker 1: you're a better party and you're like conversing, you won't
Speaker 1: be so zeroed in on like what's going on in
Speaker 1: the pregame show. Go to a better party. Where were
Speaker 1: you for the Super Bowl? What did you do? That
Speaker 1: was at Aunt's house? All right, well that was probably
Speaker 1: a cool party. And if you're listening, I wasn't bashing
Speaker 1: on your party. That was bad and your party sucked.
Speaker 1: Will Will said that, can we actually cut that little
Speaker 1: part down and just like give that Dan, This is
Speaker 1: what Will is that about your party? Her chili was
Speaker 1: very good. There you go, fantastic chili. It's like a
Speaker 1: sneaky thing that you could make really bad. So I'm
Speaker 1: I'm glad that it was really good. Good job and
Speaker 1: for having a great party and great child. We're not
Speaker 1: bashing on that at all. But what we are going
Speaker 1: to do is we're going to talk about some things
Speaker 1: that happened from this last week pop culture football. So
Speaker 1: for our segments this week, I'm going to throw out
Speaker 1: just a little bit like we did last week of
Speaker 1: this or that you're gonna pick what is more dessert?
Speaker 1: Being of the title that I'm going to present to
Speaker 1: you guys, it was a terrible description of what we're doing.
Speaker 1: We're just just go figure out. So the first one
Speaker 1: is which had more drama? Okay, The Bachelor? This week?
Speaker 1: They apparently had so much drama they had to split
Speaker 1: it up into two episodes. So was it The Bachelor
Speaker 1: or the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl? Do you
Speaker 1: watch The Bachelor? Will is a huge Bachelor fans obviously,
Speaker 1: you know, the people and the things that were treated
Speaker 1: about the people were so overwhelming that I had to
Speaker 1: get off Twitter because I was getting so like caught
Speaker 1: up in it and really emotional about the things with
Speaker 1: the people. Yeah, I think The Bachelor is probably more dramatic.
Speaker 1: M hmm. I've probably say so too. I mean there
Speaker 1: was there was drama in that fourth quarter for sure,
Speaker 1: but I mean, like two part episodes was like, you know,
Speaker 1: like cliffhanger for the first one, as you're waiting to
Speaker 1: find out what comes in the second. I mean that's
Speaker 1: so as you can tell. As you can tell, none
Speaker 1: of us watched The Bachelor. How you know you've never
Speaker 1: watched the single I used to watch the earlier seasons
Speaker 1: when I was in college, because that's just what you did,
Speaker 1: you you know, whenever to your your friend's dormant and
Speaker 1: you watched it. But no, yeah, I've I've not watched
Speaker 1: The Bachelor or Bachelorette since early early seasons. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: too much. There's like a football game, there's you know,
Speaker 1: there's a competitiveness there, and it's their job. They worked
Speaker 1: for it, they did something for their Sunday. The Bachelor. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just like another level of you know, I don't.
Speaker 1: I can't even describe it. I tried to watch. I tried. Literally,
Speaker 1: I literally can't. I tried to watch. I believe it
Speaker 1: was two years ago, maybe it was even just last year.
Speaker 1: A bunch of my girlfriends were getting together to watch it.
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, this, okay, I'll be a friend
Speaker 1: and I'll go. Maybe I'll get into it. I left
Speaker 1: in the middle of the episode. It's cringe worthy. It's overproduced.
Speaker 1: I just can't do it. Watch that show that like
Speaker 1: was like a show based off what it's like to
Speaker 1: be on The Bachelor, with like how the producers get
Speaker 1: involved and the casting. Yeah, I'll find out what it
Speaker 1: was called. But it's super interesting because it was like
Speaker 1: written by people who used to work on Bachelor, and
Speaker 1: it's insane. It's insane. So I've known a couple of people,
Speaker 1: like through friends or know them personally that have been
Speaker 1: on the show. The rose ceremonies happen at like two
Speaker 1: am with no dinner. They're they're fed an early dinner
Speaker 1: at like four and then no food but alcohol through
Speaker 1: the night, and then these rose ceremonies are happening at
Speaker 1: two in the morning. If you look, there's there. I
Speaker 1: believe maybe I've seen some of this or screen grabs
Speaker 1: from it, because there's a couple of screen grabs where
Speaker 1: like girls will be crying and there's there's a clock
Speaker 1: in like the corner and you can see that's like one,
Speaker 1: and it's like, well, it's dark and it's one three.
Speaker 1: Like the night that they the first night in the
Speaker 1: house is a very late rose ceremony. Yeah, that one's
Speaker 1: like the two or three o'clock in the morning. Unreal,
Speaker 1: just unreal. That's the name of this series. Okay, I
Speaker 1: I did read something. I did really. I love to
Speaker 1: know the spoilers, though, so I will say when they
Speaker 1: first announced the season, I'll just go and see who wins,
Speaker 1: and I enjoy reading some of the things that the
Speaker 1: producers or people will blog about about how involved the
Speaker 1: producers get. So we one this this season has been
Speaker 1: the only one that I really know about. Is the
Speaker 1: Vanessa I believe was her name. UM Pilot Pete took
Speaker 1: Vanessa to a Chase Rice concert because the producers found
Speaker 1: out that she used to date in some way Chase. Well.
Speaker 1: I met Chase three years ago, he was playing a
Speaker 1: concert um in Indianapolis. Met him through friends, So I
Speaker 1: fel like stayed in contact, you know, just a casual friend.
Speaker 1: When that came out, I was like, bro h, did
Speaker 1: you know that they were coming to do this? He
Speaker 1: had no idea. Yeah, I heard. He was pretty upset
Speaker 1: with he yeah, no idea. He did put out like
Speaker 1: a statement about it. Like I feel like, it's, you know,
Speaker 1: why why did you do this? Why did you bove me?
Speaker 1: That's what I can't I can't get on board. Yeah okay, yeah.
Speaker 1: So like on the football field, it's like the like
Speaker 1: the best man wins, right, Like it's like there's it's
Speaker 1: a sport and we're going to find out who's going
Speaker 1: to leave this field a win, or like the Bachelor. Man,
Speaker 1: it is just so there is more the The quantity
Speaker 1: of drama is much more on The Bachelor. The quality
Speaker 1: of drama, I believe on the football field is way
Speaker 1: better because we're going to be talking about this storyline
Speaker 1: of what happened at the Super Bowl for the next
Speaker 1: two or three months, and it's going to continue to
Speaker 1: come up over the course of all. I mean, next
Speaker 1: year is going to be like San Francisco's Revenge Tour,
Speaker 1: you know, like we're gonna be talking about this, whereas
Speaker 1: if we watched The Bachelor, we would not know what
Speaker 1: was so quality quantity and it's the only thing in
Speaker 1: our world really that we watch on TV. I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess there's some politics stuff, but where you're watching
Speaker 1: something and nobody actually knows what's going to happen. You know,
Speaker 1: it's fourth down, No one actually knows what's going to
Speaker 1: happen the next tense. There's no puppet. Yeah, there's not
Speaker 1: like we're gonna, you know, make this happen, like no
Speaker 1: one knows. You're right, You're right, all right, let's go
Speaker 1: to the next one. I know that was the Bachelor
Speaker 1: recap that all of you tuned into this episode for
Speaker 1: all right, So let's go who do you look forward
Speaker 1: to hearing speak more if this person opens their mouth,
Speaker 1: who are you more inclined to absolutely lean in and listen.
Speaker 1: Would it be Creed from the Office if you're an
Speaker 1: office person out there, If you're not an office person,
Speaker 1: it's okay. That used to be me. Just tune in
Speaker 1: you'll learn who creates The second one, Frank Clark in
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Every time this man had media availability ring
Speaker 1: the NFL playoffs, he killed it. He only killed it though,
Speaker 1: because everything he said was true. He actually did what
Speaker 1: he said. The first one I love was I don't
Speaker 1: see no difficulty in tackling him talking about Derrick Henry
Speaker 1: after Derrick Henry had come off multiple games and I
Speaker 1: believe he promised a super Bowl. I think he was
Speaker 1: the one on the team that promised a super Bowl.
Speaker 1: And then after the game I saw he had some
Speaker 1: things to say about Yeah he was. But Creed from
Speaker 1: the Office, guys, Creed, I'm going I'm going to Creed
Speaker 1: from the office hands down. Well, we've talked about this
Speaker 1: in our office recently. I feel like Creed, the number
Speaker 1: of words he says on that show is about the
Speaker 1: lowest of the cast. But the like hit rate for
Speaker 1: each of those words, it's the highest. You know, there's
Speaker 1: not a wasted line from Creed. He's like hits. He's
Speaker 1: like Curtis Samuel's touchdown to reception ratio. Yeah, you have
Speaker 1: to have to bring that back of bring it back
Speaker 1: Panther stack guy areas. Yeah, Creed, Creed for me wins
Speaker 1: this one. Creed over Frank Clark because but Frank Clark,
Speaker 1: we applaud you man as Clark, what we do. That
Speaker 1: was awesome, Thank you very much. Love. The guy's got
Speaker 1: the confidence to just say what's on and can back
Speaker 1: it up think, And that's the most important thing, right
Speaker 1: you have to because if you're just saying and they
Speaker 1: ring ro So, since you pick Creed, what's your favorite
Speaker 1: Creed quote? My favorite favorite Creed moment and quote is
Speaker 1: when um, it's Halloween at the office and everyone dresses
Speaker 1: up and he shows up covered in blood and he
Speaker 1: was like, wow, incredible timing and just come that like
Speaker 1: probably two or three words and whatever. The actual quote
Speaker 1: is phenomenal. That one, or when they're doing the Murder
Speaker 1: Mystery and he comes in and Okay, yeah, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna go get settled real quick, and then he was like,
Speaker 1: there's been a urder Ye gets out of his chair. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you haven't watched the Office, it's okay, who's Pam?
Speaker 1: Which one is Pam? All right? So Creed wins that
Speaker 1: one are The third one is who would you rather
Speaker 1: ride in a car with a five star lift driver?
Speaker 1: If you don't pick lift, you don't love this podcast.
Speaker 1: So take take that where it is? Thank you lift?
Speaker 1: Or oh and that five star lift driver has free snacks.
Speaker 1: Oh that's a big change. Do you want that? Or
Speaker 1: do you want to ride with Dave in a cold tepper?
Speaker 1: If you haven't seen KRT Talk yet, you need to
Speaker 1: go see KRT Talk to just get a little take.
Speaker 1: We have to ride with Bill too, or just Phil?
Speaker 1: Does not you replace Bill? Who's driving? Well, Nicole drove
Speaker 1: Dave could be an interesting maybe spice. If you saw
Speaker 1: a car talk you would know what that would be like.
Speaker 1: Cold did not make it seem like we want to
Speaker 1: be in the car with Dave's driving? Well, he said
Speaker 1: he's fine. I mean they didn't say you've gotten any accidents.
Speaker 1: So rubbing up on the on the curb a little
Speaker 1: of this act it would keep it interesting. So do
Speaker 1: you want Dave and Nicole tepper or a five star
Speaker 1: lift driver with free snacks? Although I feel like David
Speaker 1: Nicole would stop and get food and it was probably
Speaker 1: really good food. So I'm picking David Nicole, even though
Speaker 1: I love this podcast Love Lift, I'm picking David Nicole.
Speaker 1: Daved Nicole and I could get in a lift with
Speaker 1: a five star lift driver that has snacks. What what
Speaker 1: if Dave? What if David Nicole get in the lift
Speaker 1: with you? Yes? No, no, I want one of them driving? Okay?
Speaker 1: What if they get in the lift and they pay
Speaker 1: the lift driver to let them drive the car? I'm
Speaker 1: picking David Nicole. Yeah, I mean I kind of I
Speaker 1: want to be in the car with Dave Nicole to
Speaker 1: I gotta see the driving for myself. After all this
Speaker 1: talk on car talk about it. I wonder if Dave,
Speaker 1: if he would have grown up in a different time,
Speaker 1: if you would have like grown up and been a
Speaker 1: teenager now, would he have been a lift driver? He
Speaker 1: was a short order cook, Yeah, exactly. I wonder if
Speaker 1: that would have been a job for him growing up.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine I could totally see it. I mean,
Speaker 1: I would hope he still would keep the afrow that
Speaker 1: he had. Just imagine him behind the wheel in the AFROA.
Speaker 1: He's he loves having, you know, conversation. He would have
Speaker 1: the best. Yeah, he would be known for a great conversation.
Speaker 1: He would, he would. He wouldn't even need the radio,
Speaker 1: he would just sing tickets. So when we were in Miami,
Speaker 1: a little side story. We went to dinner one night
Speaker 1: as a Panthers group and Dave and Nicole hosted all
Speaker 1: of us who were down there. The crab legs that
Speaker 1: were delivered to the table, I didn't think they were
Speaker 1: real crab they were, I'm not. I mean maybe like
Speaker 1: like two and a half three ft long, and we
Speaker 1: were joking. They landed where I was sitting. I got
Speaker 1: a prime seat at the table only because when I
Speaker 1: walked in it was Nicole and then Dave's daughter was
Speaker 1: sitting there and there was an open seat, so I
Speaker 1: know both of them. So I sat down there. Well
Speaker 1: that really, I mean, if you sit near the people
Speaker 1: that are hosting, you're gonna get all the great food
Speaker 1: right in front of you. So it was a great,
Speaker 1: great spot. So the crab legs end up in front
Speaker 1: of me and people are asking oh, well, you passed
Speaker 1: me a crab leg. It wasn't like I could reach
Speaker 1: everyone at the table with the crab leg, so I
Speaker 1: would just pick up one end and reach it down this.
Speaker 1: You know, it was probably a twelve ft fifteen foot table.
Speaker 1: Here you go, you know, just handed to him and
Speaker 1: they could grab the claw at the other end. We
Speaker 1: were saying, you'd like scratch your back, king crab? Did
Speaker 1: you have to like? Did they give you the tools
Speaker 1: to like? Cracky? They were pre cracked so when you
Speaker 1: pulled the meat out, it was like a sausage. It
Speaker 1: was unbelievable. Unbelievable. All right, last one here, um, which
Speaker 1: was the better robbery? Okay? So so who who pulled
Speaker 1: off the better robbery? The NFL not giving CMC Offensive
Speaker 1: Player of the Year. They robbed CMC of that or
Speaker 1: the Ocean's eleven crew at the casino. So yeah, Michael
Speaker 1: Thomas to come Offensive Player of the Year. Obviously had
Speaker 1: a record setting season with the Saints. So did Christian mccaffy.
Speaker 1: Christian a thousand of thousand only been done twice before,
Speaker 1: third most yards ever in one season ever, and lead
Speaker 1: the end led the league in touchdowns. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think we all we all feel Christians should have taken
Speaker 1: home that award, especially when it's a Saint side receiver
Speaker 1: who ends up winning it. Well, I mean and and
Speaker 1: people like, oh, you know he wouldn't you know, there's
Speaker 1: a thousand yards receiving. It was just dump outs through
Speaker 1: the I mean, come on, Michael Thomas seven yard he
Speaker 1: was running seven yard curl routes. Like, let's let's be
Speaker 1: really a very good point. I mean, that's now. He did.
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas did set a record for receptions in a
Speaker 1: single season, which is impressive. Right, we have a hundred
Speaker 1: forty Christian had a hundred and six team. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: come on, now, I'm with you. Now you have you
Speaker 1: feel like there's a there was another heist with the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl MVP. Now, I the more I think about it, though,
Speaker 1: like there's there's this thing now where you have to
Speaker 1: be a QB to be an m v P period,
Speaker 1: Like it just is what it is. And I think
Speaker 1: that I think that that's kind of jumped the shark,
Speaker 1: that they're not creating these other awards just to honor
Speaker 1: everybody else because no position players are ever gonna win
Speaker 1: the m v P anymore, which I just like Damian
Speaker 1: Williams two touchdowns hundred thirty three yards. I'm as the
Speaker 1: game was unfolding, I was thinking, man, Damian Williams, Who's like,
Speaker 1: who's gonna win this m v P? Right, you know,
Speaker 1: like Bosa if the Niners were to pull it off,
Speaker 1: just ridiculous check for a while there. But here's here's
Speaker 1: I think the question you have to ask yourself, Well,
Speaker 1: if you put a different running back in for Damian Williams,
Speaker 1: would the results have been different? And if you put
Speaker 1: a different quarterback in for Patrick Mahomes, And I think
Speaker 1: that's where it really comes out. And Mahomes did some
Speaker 1: things that I think we're very homes S that I
Speaker 1: don't think you could replicate with men the other guys
Speaker 1: what Damian Williams did, run behind that offensive line and
Speaker 1: look doing his job. But I think it was a
Speaker 1: little bit more replaceable, and thus why the most valuable
Speaker 1: player was the guy sling in the road. Sure, And
Speaker 1: I think I think as in the final five or
Speaker 1: six minutes of the fourth quarters, it became home, it
Speaker 1: became my homes. Yeah, I mean I still yeah it was,
Speaker 1: but I just think it's just the larger point being
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, but the game is essentially about
Speaker 1: it's the quarterbacks, and and that's It's really always been
Speaker 1: that way, and especially more so now um and with
Speaker 1: the latest being Patrick Mahomes. And I know he was
Speaker 1: asked us after the game, you know you feel like
Speaker 1: you're the face of the NFL now um very well
Speaker 1: might be in Lamar Jackson, man those two. What I
Speaker 1: thought was interesting with that question was he named other
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that would also be the face. There were no
Speaker 1: talks about Christian McCaffrey or you know, some of these
Speaker 1: other big players. It was all quarterbacks. It was like, no,
Speaker 1: there's you know, some other great guys, there's some you know,
Speaker 1: and he lists it off quarterbacks. I think that is
Speaker 1: the point. It is a quarterbacks league. It is all
Speaker 1: right to finish this podcast off. There was a quote
Speaker 1: this week that one all all other quotes. It is
Speaker 1: you can't beat it. You can't come up with something
Speaker 1: better because the timeliness was there, and that makes a
Speaker 1: great quote. But then also what you say and how
Speaker 1: it's delivered makes the quote great. Andy Reid best week
Speaker 1: of his life, I'm sure, but this particular quote will
Speaker 1: go down in the history of people will forget the
Speaker 1: score of the game. People will, you know, forget the
Speaker 1: little nuances. People won't forget this. Yeah, an Alzheimer. He
Speaker 1: was asked about his Super Bowl night, did he spend
Speaker 1: the night with the trophy? And no, no, no, that
Speaker 1: had been the night with a trophy. I spent the
Speaker 1: night with my trophy wife. Phenomenal. That's that right. There
Speaker 1: is a great, great quote. So we want to leave
Speaker 1: you with other great quotes that Max found in this
Speaker 1: article that just made me laugh out googled like funny
Speaker 1: sports quotes in history, and this is what the research reveals.
Speaker 1: I will say before we get into this though, another
Speaker 1: great quote from Andy I think he said right after
Speaker 1: the game, like you know, like what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1: He was like, I'm gonna get the biggest cheeseburger I've
Speaker 1: ever had. It might even be a double, like something
Speaker 1: like that's amazing, Like that's why you love any Reid
Speaker 1: is the best? All right, here's another um legendary NFL
Speaker 1: coach Marv Levy you might remember from the Bills. This
Speaker 1: is my favorite. Asked during a season if the game
Speaker 1: they were about to play was a must win, and
Speaker 1: he said no. World War two was a must win.
Speaker 1: He's got a point, which is that my ultimately my
Speaker 1: pet peeve questions is this a must win? And that
Speaker 1: makes the answer better because it's such a terrible question.
Speaker 1: It's a terrible question. Stop asking that question. You're You're
Speaker 1: absolutely right. What I think struggling to come up with
Speaker 1: was quotes where like people really nailed it. The quotes
Speaker 1: I just keep remembering are the ones where people that
Speaker 1: get made fun of for what they said. There aren't
Speaker 1: many that are just you know, memorable because they were
Speaker 1: so good. Like when I think about coach, especially like
Speaker 1: I think about Denny Green, you know, with the whole
Speaker 1: they are who we thought they were and we let
Speaker 1: him off the hook. The playoffs. I can't hear playoffs
Speaker 1: without thinking about that because in Indianapolis my third year,
Speaker 1: when the team started out one in five and then
Speaker 1: started winning, that's when I mean it was perfect. The playoffs.
Speaker 1: We're trying to win a game, you know like that.
Speaker 1: We we said that so many times because the Colts
Speaker 1: in that season, if they didn't win, they weren't in
Speaker 1: the playoffs. So no one was talking like internally about
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Oh my gosh, the playoffs such a good one.
Speaker 1: I'm a man, I'm my Gundy, I'm a man, I'm forty. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's usually. I also like Kurt Cousins when
Speaker 1: he came around the corners like that, A really good one.
Speaker 1: But Andy Reid, Andy Reid wins the trophy. Want it was.
Speaker 1: It was so good because it's just so Andy Reid.
Speaker 1: He ate his you know, cheeseburger with double cheese might
Speaker 1: might even be a double good, good, wholesome content for
Speaker 1: your Super Bowl week. We hope everyone enjoyed the finale
Speaker 1: of football. Hey, season starts now, starts right now. We're
Speaker 1: gearing up for the Combine and all things NFL Draft.
Speaker 1: I hate mock drafts, so pray for me during this
Speaker 1: time of year. UM, mock draft season. They're coming, They're coming.
Speaker 1: Let's go Panthers dot Com mock draft season. Max is
Speaker 1: on top of it. But I despise them. But I
Speaker 1: look at them because I am curious about the direction
Speaker 1: that all of these teams are going to go. But
Speaker 1: before we even get to the after its free agency. UM,
Speaker 1: a lot of exciting things happening around the NFL and
Speaker 1: for your Carolina Panthers that the change has begun. And
