Speaker 1: to go to the AFC Championship game tomorrow in Baltimore.

19
00:01:20,266 --> 00:01:22,346
Speaker 1: You have to understand he loves the Ravens. He watched

20
00:01:22,346 --> 00:01:25,106
Speaker 1: the entire Texans Ravens game. He was a nervous wreck

21
00:01:25,186 --> 00:01:27,706
Speaker 1: the first half, like cried at one point through a

22
00:01:27,706 --> 00:01:29,666
Speaker 1: hissy fit at one point during the first half because

23
00:01:29,706 --> 00:01:31,546
Speaker 1: like what are the Ravens doing? And then when they

24
00:01:31,546 --> 00:01:34,546
Speaker 1: want I've never seen such joy in this child's eyes, Like,

25
00:01:34,586 --> 00:01:36,146
Speaker 1: do you want to go tomorrow? We're going to this

26
00:01:36,226 --> 00:01:39,066
Speaker 1: basketball game. Now you're enjoying this moment. You're at a

27
00:01:39,066 --> 00:01:40,746

29
00:01:44,306 --> 00:01:47,666
Speaker 1: the rain and it'll be a twelve hour day. But

30
00:01:47,746 --> 00:01:51,906
Speaker 1: I do think there's a significance to being a kid

31
00:01:52,066 --> 00:01:54,946
Speaker 1: and being at one of these amazing, amazing sporting events

32
00:01:55,106 --> 00:01:57,786
Speaker 1: like an AFC Championship game in person. And the fact

33
00:01:57,786 --> 00:02:01,466
Speaker 1: that the Baltimore Ravens have not hosted an AFC championsh

34
00:02:01,466 --> 00:02:04,226
Speaker 1: game since nineteen seventy was like swirling in my brain.

35
00:02:04,706 --> 00:02:06,986
Speaker 1: Mel's gonna be a Ravens fan. He is a Ravens fan,

36
00:02:07,066 --> 00:02:09,626

Speaker 1: My father in law, David is hardcore Baltimore sports fan.

41
00:02:26,426 --> 00:02:29,746

42
00:02:29,786 --> 00:02:31,586
Speaker 1: recent years he's gone to every one of them. He

43
00:02:31,706 --> 00:02:33,586
Speaker 1: travels once a year to go to a road game

44
00:02:33,586 --> 00:02:38,426
Speaker 1: with my brother in law. They're hardcore. Every Baltimore super

45
00:02:38,426 --> 00:02:42,546
Speaker 1: Bowl ever he has been at. That includes the Miami

Speaker 1: Baltimore people. My son's gonna so I was like, I

53
00:03:09,186 --> 00:03:12,386
Speaker 1: a youth basketball game the next morning. Oh. He loves

55
00:03:15,986 --> 00:03:19,746
Speaker 1: Seven years old. He scored a basket last week. He's

56
00:03:19,786 --> 00:03:22,666
Speaker 1: feeling good. It is so rare that I am off

57
00:03:22,746 --> 00:03:24,706
Speaker 1: on the weekends, which I was because Fox didn't have

58
00:03:24,706 --> 00:03:27,426
Speaker 1: a pregame show in the early window that I could

59
00:03:27,426 --> 00:03:29,666
Speaker 1: actually attend one of his basketball games on the weekend.

60
00:03:29,666 --> 00:03:31,106
Speaker 1: I've never been able to do it. I went to

61
00:03:31,186 --> 00:03:33,306
Speaker 1: one a couple of weeks ago. It was amazing. These

62
00:03:33,346 --> 00:03:35,466

Speaker 1: Yeah, Mel loves his basketball team, loves his basketat So

66
00:03:44,106 --> 00:03:45,586

00:03:45,786 --> 00:03:47,226
Speaker 1: or do you not want to go? And he looked

68
00:03:47,226 --> 00:03:50,146
Speaker 1: at me and he's like, I don't know, And I'm like,

69
00:03:50,186 --> 00:03:53,106
Speaker 1: do I have to make this decision? My wife is like,

70
00:03:53,386 --> 00:03:57,826
Speaker 1: if it's raining, I think we pull the plug. If

Speaker 1: I'm dressed with, you know, big raincoat on just in case,

98
00:05:21,186 --> 00:05:24,186
Speaker 1: and I've got my phone, my portable phone charger because

99
00:05:24,186 --> 00:05:25,666
Speaker 1: i know I'm not going to be sitting by an outlet,

100
00:05:26,906 --> 00:05:29,026
Speaker 1: and it is traffic wall to wall from the train

101
00:05:29,066 --> 00:05:30,626
Speaker 1: station to the stadium. I say, get me out of

102
00:05:30,666 --> 00:05:34,866
Speaker 1: this uber. I walk about fifteen blocks. Ooh, and it's

103
00:05:34,946 --> 00:05:38,666
Speaker 1: not New York City blocks too, so Baltimore blocks. And

104
00:05:38,866 --> 00:05:41,186
Speaker 1: as you're walking, the anticipation is building build, and no

105
00:05:41,186 --> 00:05:44,026
Speaker 1: one recognizes me. At first, you know, five blocks, I'm

106
00:05:44,066 --> 00:05:47,186
Speaker 1: just a random guy walking. Then ten blocks, it's all

107
00:05:47,266 --> 00:05:50,946
Speaker 1: Ravens fans. It's all Chiefs fans. I get about, you know,

108
00:05:51,506 --> 00:05:54,266
Speaker 1: probably a half mile from the stadium, and suddenly it's

109
00:05:54,266 --> 00:05:57,106
Speaker 1: like Shreger, Schreger. I'm like, yes, okay, I love the recognition.

110
00:05:57,506 --> 00:05:58,906
Speaker 3: You picked against us.

111
00:06:00,306 --> 00:06:06,666
Speaker 1: Ravens fans respectful, but also not so thrilled that they

112
00:06:06,706 --> 00:06:09,386
Speaker 1: know my family is Baltimore. And I still picked the

113
00:06:09,426 --> 00:06:11,986
Speaker 1: Chiefs before this thing. And the walk was electric. I

114
00:06:12,026 --> 00:06:14,186
Speaker 1: was so hyped. We get to the stadium, I do

115
00:06:14,266 --> 00:06:18,706
Speaker 1: a round on the stadium, I walk a lap. Awesome experience.

116
00:06:18,786 --> 00:06:22,266
Speaker 1: I'm with Jason McCarty, the Ravens PR staff cool enough

117
00:06:22,266 --> 00:06:24,146
Speaker 1: to say, you know, well, credentially, if you want to

118
00:06:24,146 --> 00:06:26,066
Speaker 1: sit in the press box, come on in whatever. So

119
00:06:26,106 --> 00:06:28,386
Speaker 1: I get to go there beforehand, I see Jason McCarty,

120
00:06:28,386 --> 00:06:30,306
Speaker 1: who's doing the radio. I see Devin McCarty. We walk

121
00:06:30,386 --> 00:06:33,346
Speaker 1: U Coast on the field. Travis Kelsey's there. I'm talking

122
00:06:33,346 --> 00:06:35,866
Speaker 1: to Travis Kelsey before the game. He was dialed in.

123
00:06:35,906 --> 00:06:37,666
Speaker 1: You saw the thing with Justin Tucker, like he was

124
00:06:37,786 --> 00:06:39,586
Speaker 1: not there to do small talk. He was not there

125
00:06:39,626 --> 00:06:42,506
Speaker 1: for nonsense. Respectful as always, but like dialed in. I

126
00:06:42,546 --> 00:06:45,946
Speaker 1: see Mahomes give him a pound. He's dialed in. I

127
00:06:45,986 --> 00:06:50,266
Speaker 1: talked to some of the chiefs executives there, dialed in Ravenside.

128
00:06:51,146 --> 00:06:56,026

129
00:06:56,266 --> 00:07:00,986

130
00:07:01,186 --> 00:07:07,666
Speaker 1: was get to the seats. My son is a nervous wreck.

131

132
00:07:09,466 --> 00:07:11,386
Speaker 1: he doesn't take tests, he doesn't have homework. Yet this

133
00:07:11,426 --> 00:07:14,506
Speaker 1: is where he's a nervous wreck. He's super you know,

134
00:07:14,546 --> 00:07:16,426
Speaker 1: in his own thoughts about whether this is gonna be

135

00:08:26,866 --> 00:08:30,186
Speaker 1: first down, third and three, first down, And they do

155
00:08:30,266 --> 00:08:32,666
Speaker 1: this thing at that Ravens stadium where they where they like,

156
00:08:33,146 --> 00:08:36,146
Speaker 1: they go to the big speel like make some noise

157
00:08:36,426 --> 00:08:39,586
Speaker 1: every third down, or it's like third down, we need

158
00:08:39,586 --> 00:08:43,226
Speaker 1: the decibel meter higher fans, and you're like right, And

159
00:08:43,306 --> 00:08:45,106
Speaker 1: by the fourth or fifth one, I could see these

160
00:08:45,106 --> 00:08:51,746
Speaker 1: fans being like this, Mahomes is pretty good. Touchdown, Place

161
00:08:51,826 --> 00:08:57,586
Speaker 1: is dead. Ravens come back, say Flowers amazing. Touchdown seven

162
00:08:57,626 --> 00:08:59,666
Speaker 1: to seven, Place going bonkers. I look next week, my

163
00:08:59,786 --> 00:09:03,626
Speaker 1: son is in tears. Aaron. I'm like, Melt, this is

164
00:09:03,666 --> 00:09:06,986
Speaker 1: the what what he goes? I missed the fun everyone

165
00:09:07,066 --> 00:09:09,466
Speaker 1: was jumping up and down. I didn't get to see it. Oh,

166
00:09:09,506 --> 00:09:12,626
Speaker 1: it's like so heartbroken, and I'm like, looking at my wife,

167
00:09:12,666 --> 00:09:14,186
Speaker 1: I'm like we should have watched him the couch, like

168
00:09:14,226 --> 00:09:16,226
Speaker 1: this isn't worth it, Like he's not even excited for

169
00:09:16,346 --> 00:09:21,466
Speaker 1: like the good moment. So he was crying after they scored,

170
00:09:21,546 --> 00:09:24,226
Speaker 1: and then sure enough, the Chiefs are just dominant throughout

171
00:09:24,226 --> 00:09:27,106
Speaker 1: the first half. We go to halftime. This is why

172
00:09:27,186 --> 00:09:29,786
Speaker 1: my wife is my wife, and Erica is smart and

173
00:09:29,826 --> 00:09:32,106
Speaker 1: why we give her all the credit in the world.

174
00:09:33,066 --> 00:09:35,906
Speaker 1: We get to halftime, I take Melt to the bathroom

175
00:09:35,986 --> 00:09:38,546
Speaker 1: Forever Long Line. We're in a funk. He's in a funk.

176
00:09:38,546 --> 00:09:40,466
Speaker 1: He had just been crying. The Ravens are losing all

177
00:09:40,506 --> 00:09:42,826
Speaker 1: this stuff. This is before the day Flowers thing. My

178
00:09:42,866 --> 00:09:45,146
Speaker 1: wife disappears for about five minutes. I'm like, where'd she go?

179
00:09:45,226 --> 00:09:45,546
Speaker 3: I don't know.

180
00:09:45,586 --> 00:09:49,266
Speaker 1: Whatever. We come back to the seat, simplest thing, some

181
00:09:49,306 --> 00:09:54,306
Speaker 1: cotton candy, smiling, sun is shining. Now, sun comes up,

182
00:09:54,546 --> 00:09:58,906
Speaker 1: rain goes away, Ravens are driving, say Flowers, big play,

183
00:09:58,946 --> 00:10:00,866
Speaker 1: taunting penalty. All right, that hurts, but let's go back.

184
00:10:00,906 --> 00:10:02,986
Speaker 1: They get another big play. Dave Flowers about to score,

185
00:10:03,746 --> 00:10:07,066
Speaker 1: punched the ball, loose fumble. That was the game. I

186
00:10:07,106 --> 00:10:08,866
Speaker 1: know it is this one score game. That was the game,

187
00:10:08,866 --> 00:10:10,706
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh my god, the next six hours

188
00:10:10,746 --> 00:10:13,786
Speaker 1: are going to suck. I'll tell you this. That was

189
00:10:13,826 --> 00:10:16,106
Speaker 1: a good sport. He was a good sport. I said, look,

190
00:10:16,106 --> 00:10:18,546
Speaker 1: that's football. Just when you think it's your ear, just

191
00:10:18,586 --> 00:10:20,946
Speaker 1: when you put all this time and effort, that can happen.

192
00:10:21,186 --> 00:10:23,386
Speaker 1: Do you see what happened with Mommy's Michigan Wolverines, Because

193
00:10:23,386 --> 00:10:26,026
Speaker 1: my wife's a Michigan over Like, that's one side of it.

194
00:10:26,066 --> 00:10:27,786
Speaker 1: You can go all the way and you can win,

195
00:10:27,946 --> 00:10:29,306
Speaker 1: and it's the best dealing in the world and you

196
00:10:29,346 --> 00:10:31,666
Speaker 1: could be on cloud nine. But there's also this side

197
00:10:31,666 --> 00:10:33,626
Speaker 1: of it. Only one team can advance in every game

198
00:10:33,666 --> 00:10:35,546
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and in this case, if not. The

199
00:10:35,666 --> 00:10:37,906
Speaker 1: Ravens took the train back. He thought it was so

200
00:10:38,026 --> 00:10:39,946
Speaker 1: cool that he was up late. We didn't get back

201
00:10:39,986 --> 00:10:42,666
Speaker 1: until like eleven o'clock. We watched the entire NFC Championship

202
00:10:42,706 --> 00:10:45,466
Speaker 1: game on my phone on NFL Plus. He was into it.

203
00:10:45,546 --> 00:10:47,826
Speaker 1: He got to stay up late, woke up Monday morning,

204
00:10:47,906 --> 00:10:49,306
Speaker 1: was in the best moody at a great weekend. He

205
00:10:49,346 --> 00:10:52,586
Speaker 1: got to go to the game. But some parenting stuff

206
00:10:52,666 --> 00:10:55,386
Speaker 1: right there. It was touch and go for a moment.

207
00:10:55,426 --> 00:10:58,506
Speaker 1: But sometimes a simple bribery or simple pleasure of cotton

208
00:10:58,506 --> 00:10:59,386
Speaker 1: candy can do the trick.

209
00:11:00,466 --> 00:11:02,666
Speaker 2: You don't want to be watching your team lose and

210
00:11:02,746 --> 00:11:04,946
Speaker 2: be hungry. I mean, if you can get something, you

211
00:11:04,946 --> 00:11:05,386
Speaker 2: know that.

212
00:11:05,546 --> 00:11:09,706
Speaker 1: I think that's a not only hungry like the forbidden fruit. Yes, kids, Yeah,

213
00:11:09,826 --> 00:11:11,386
Speaker 1: this kid don't eat much cotton candy.

214
00:11:11,466 --> 00:11:13,746
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not gonna be at home on the couchwashing

215
00:11:13,786 --> 00:11:15,946
Speaker 2: the game getting cotton candy, I would assume.

216
00:11:16,946 --> 00:11:19,226
Speaker 1: So I might takeaways from that game, I've been saying

217
00:11:19,266 --> 00:11:21,186
Speaker 1: him on Good Morning Football. The defense was so good

218
00:11:21,266 --> 00:11:23,546
Speaker 1: and if anything, we take for granted what Steve Spagnolo's

219
00:11:23,586 --> 00:11:25,866
Speaker 1: defense has done. What I read is they ran six

220
00:11:25,906 --> 00:11:29,106
Speaker 1: different defensive schemes and they rotated those defensive schemes. Lamar

221
00:11:29,386 --> 00:11:32,226
Speaker 1: could not solve it. Todd Munkin abandoned the run game.

222
00:11:32,306 --> 00:11:34,106
Speaker 1: There was only six times in the game that are

223
00:11:34,146 --> 00:11:36,626
Speaker 1: running back carried the ball. The first time Gus Edwards

224
00:11:36,666 --> 00:11:38,946
Speaker 1: went for fifteen yards and they just like abandon it.

225
00:11:39,346 --> 00:11:41,106
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cooke didn't get a touch. He looked pretty good

226
00:11:41,106 --> 00:11:43,506
Speaker 1: in his couple of opportunities last week, and Lamar didn't

227
00:11:43,506 --> 00:11:45,186
Speaker 1: look like Lamar. So the Ravens go back to the

228
00:11:45,266 --> 00:11:47,906
Speaker 1: drawing board and for the Chiefs they go on and

229
00:11:49,866 --> 00:11:54,026
Speaker 1: obviously it's Mahomes and Kelsey and Kelsey had eleven catches

230
00:11:54,026 --> 00:11:56,346
Speaker 1: on eleven targets. That's insane. He also touched the ball

231
00:11:56,346 --> 00:11:58,226
Speaker 1: and a different like a different play, like just amazing.

232
00:11:58,906 --> 00:12:02,746
Speaker 1: But the defense is really really good and that defense

233
00:12:03,146 --> 00:12:06,546
Speaker 1: is what rose above. So to me, they look like

234
00:12:07,946 --> 00:12:10,586
Speaker 1: just one of those old battled war horses that like

235
00:12:10,626 --> 00:12:13,266
Speaker 1: you cannot put down. Those last two wins in Buffalo

236
00:12:13,386 --> 00:12:16,626
Speaker 1: and in Kansas City, said on Good Morning Football, Rudy

237
00:12:16,666 --> 00:12:20,666
Speaker 1: Tom Johonovitch has a great quote, never underestimate the heart

238
00:12:20,706 --> 00:12:24,426
Speaker 1: of a champion. I ain't underestimating the heart of these champions.

239
00:12:25,106 --> 00:12:26,426
Speaker 1: You know who I have winning. I got the Chiefs

240
00:12:26,466 --> 00:12:28,146
Speaker 1: winning the Super Bowl. We'll talk about it all next

241
00:12:28,186 --> 00:12:30,466
Speaker 1: week they play the Niners, which had a cool story

242
00:12:30,506 --> 00:12:33,226
Speaker 1: in itself. Which team do you think had a tougher

243
00:12:33,426 --> 00:12:36,146
Speaker 1: pull to swallow on Monday morning? Aaron? Do you think

244
00:12:36,146 --> 00:12:39,786
Speaker 1: the Lions fan who is up seventeen points and has

245
00:12:39,866 --> 00:12:41,706
Speaker 1: multiple opportunities to make it a three score game and

246
00:12:41,746 --> 00:12:43,266
Speaker 1: ops to go for it on fourth down and then

247
00:12:43,266 --> 00:12:45,306
Speaker 1: to seize the slip in between their hands? Or do

248
00:12:45,346 --> 00:12:47,586
Speaker 1: you think it's the Ravens fan that just feels like

249
00:12:47,706 --> 00:12:49,626
Speaker 1: that was such an anomaly compared to the rest of

250
00:12:49,626 --> 00:12:50,066
Speaker 1: the season.

251
00:12:51,386 --> 00:12:54,426
Speaker 2: I think a Lions fan, I think the pain of

252
00:12:54,666 --> 00:12:59,346
Speaker 2: knowing you were in the lead and for the first half,

253
00:12:59,386 --> 00:13:02,226
Speaker 2: I mean, it looked like a one sided game. It was,

254
00:13:02,386 --> 00:13:05,226
Speaker 2: you know, it was a completely different thing. Whereas the

255
00:13:05,266 --> 00:13:08,106
Speaker 2: Ravens fan, you were catched up the whole time. Even

256
00:13:08,146 --> 00:13:11,226
Speaker 2: that on the Zay Flowers touchdown, that was like not

257
00:13:11,306 --> 00:13:13,906
Speaker 2: a Hail Mary, but that was a miracle play that

258
00:13:13,906 --> 00:13:15,986
Speaker 2: that worked. And there was never a point when I

259
00:13:15,986 --> 00:13:18,786
Speaker 2: felt like the Ravens were in control, whereas with the Lions,

260
00:13:19,186 --> 00:13:21,626
Speaker 2: I thought I thought that was over. I was like,

261
00:13:21,706 --> 00:13:24,226
Speaker 2: what happened to San Francisco? And then here they came back.

262
00:13:24,266 --> 00:13:26,906
Speaker 2: So the Lions feel like they lost it from within

263
00:13:26,906 --> 00:13:29,186
Speaker 2: their grasp and the Ravens just they had a bad day.

264
00:13:30,986 --> 00:13:33,146
Speaker 1: A couple thoughts on that this was an interesting moment

265
00:13:33,226 --> 00:13:36,466
Speaker 1: in time where like for years on parallel paths, the

266
00:13:36,506 --> 00:13:40,106
Speaker 1: PFF guys and the numbers guys and the Twitter people

267
00:13:40,106 --> 00:13:44,586
Speaker 1: who always hearn such who advocate for fourth down being

268
00:13:44,626 --> 00:13:47,466
Speaker 1: aggressive and here's how it's done, have been working. And

269
00:13:47,506 --> 00:13:49,746
Speaker 1: then on the other half has been a silent majority.

270
00:13:49,786 --> 00:13:52,986
Speaker 1: I think of traditional football fans who understand that the

271
00:13:53,066 --> 00:13:55,786
Speaker 1: analytics and the numbers have a major role in the

272
00:13:55,826 --> 00:13:57,306
Speaker 1: game right now, and it has helped the game for

273
00:13:57,346 --> 00:13:59,866
Speaker 1: the better and has helped coaches manage situations in different ways,

274
00:13:59,866 --> 00:14:02,706
Speaker 1: and they've traditionally done but they've been quiet, biting their tongues.

275
00:14:02,986 --> 00:14:05,786
Speaker 1: I think this was impossible to watch as a traditional fan,

276
00:14:05,946 --> 00:14:08,546
Speaker 1: knowing that a three score lead is so hard to

277
00:14:08,586 --> 00:14:11,306
Speaker 1: come back from, but if you give them an opportunity

278
00:14:11,346 --> 00:14:14,386
Speaker 1: to keep on opening the door, they will. In this case,

279
00:14:14,546 --> 00:14:16,066
Speaker 1: I think the thing that's missing in a lot of

280
00:14:16,066 --> 00:14:17,706
Speaker 1: these analytics, and I don't want to take on the

281
00:14:17,706 --> 00:14:19,706
Speaker 1: analytics community, and I don't even call it analytics. I

282
00:14:19,706 --> 00:14:21,826
Speaker 1: want to call it probability. In this case, I think

283
00:14:21,866 --> 00:14:23,746
Speaker 1: one of the things that's missing is the nuance of

284
00:14:24,386 --> 00:14:27,306
Speaker 1: situations such as the fact that, oh, I don't know,

285
00:14:27,386 --> 00:14:30,106
Speaker 1: it's in San Francisco and that crowd as much as

286
00:14:30,106 --> 00:14:33,666
Speaker 1: Honolulu Blue as you saw that crowd like was completely

287
00:14:33,746 --> 00:14:35,666
Speaker 1: given a second life and then a third life and

288
00:14:35,666 --> 00:14:38,546
Speaker 1: then a fourth life and was in a absolute tizzy

289
00:14:38,546 --> 00:14:42,306
Speaker 1: after the seventeen point comeback. We saw the journey performance

290
00:14:42,306 --> 00:14:45,226
Speaker 1: and then like coming out of commercial, you know, Olsen

291
00:14:45,266 --> 00:14:47,226
Speaker 1: and Burkhart just laid out and they were so beautifully

292
00:14:47,986 --> 00:14:50,706
Speaker 1: attuned to it. They're like, let's not let's not talk,

293
00:14:50,786 --> 00:14:52,706
Speaker 1: Let's just let the crowd noise take the story, Like

294
00:14:52,826 --> 00:14:54,786
Speaker 1: that's a big deal. I also think the know with

295
00:14:55,026 --> 00:14:58,866
Speaker 1: the no haul and like the wherewithal of like, hey,

296
00:14:59,066 --> 00:15:01,746
Speaker 1: these Niners have been in some huge games over the years,

297
00:15:01,786 --> 00:15:04,826
Speaker 1: like don't don't let them hang around, and even last

298
00:15:04,826 --> 00:15:06,986
Speaker 1: week against the Packers like don't let them hang around.

299
00:15:06,986 --> 00:15:10,106
Speaker 1: That makes two straight weeks of Kyle Shanahan, who notoriously

300
00:15:10,186 --> 00:15:12,946
Speaker 1: is known for giving up major leads. In the fourth

301
00:15:13,026 --> 00:15:15,226
Speaker 1: quarter of the Super Bowl, of course twenty eight to three,

302
00:15:15,266 --> 00:15:17,826
Speaker 1: but also in a Super Bowl to the Chiefs, they

303
00:15:17,866 --> 00:15:19,746
Speaker 1: were up ten in the fourth quarter. In the NFC

304
00:15:19,866 --> 00:15:21,706
Speaker 1: Championship game to the Rams, they were up ten in

305
00:15:21,706 --> 00:15:24,266
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Here we go back to back weeks

306
00:15:24,266 --> 00:15:26,586
Speaker 1: after Fox shows of graphics saying Kyle Shanahan's oh to

307
00:15:26,626 --> 00:15:28,866
Speaker 1: thirty in the fourth quarter when down five points or more,

308
00:15:29,066 --> 00:15:31,426
Speaker 1: they come back and beat the Packers and in this case,

309
00:15:31,466 --> 00:15:35,266
Speaker 1: come back from a seventeen point deficit at halftime to

310
00:15:35,866 --> 00:15:39,026
Speaker 1: beat a very good Lions team, and the Lions go

311
00:15:39,106 --> 00:15:41,626
Speaker 1: back to the drawing board. But I think the analytics

312
00:15:41,626 --> 00:15:45,026
Speaker 1: community has been kind of feeling itself a little bit.

313
00:15:45,066 --> 00:15:47,346
Speaker 1: Every team has an analytics department, and I think some

314
00:15:47,386 --> 00:15:49,506
Speaker 1: of the old school football guys roll their eyes and

315
00:15:49,546 --> 00:15:51,346
Speaker 1: want of stuff that talk into a locker, but they

316
00:15:51,346 --> 00:15:54,346
Speaker 1: go along with it. What's the conundrum here is that

317
00:15:54,426 --> 00:15:56,426
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell is this old school of football guy as

318
00:15:56,426 --> 00:15:59,226
Speaker 1: there is, and he leaned into the analytics so much

319
00:15:59,266 --> 00:16:01,146
Speaker 1: I don't even call it analytics. I mentioned that because

320
00:16:01,186 --> 00:16:05,266
Speaker 1: like Sean Payton did this, Bill Parcells did this, Bill

321
00:16:05,266 --> 00:16:09,666
Speaker 1: Belichick does this. It's not numbers in the sense that

322
00:16:09,706 --> 00:16:13,106
Speaker 1: it's math wizards. It's there's football guys and football men

323
00:16:13,146 --> 00:16:14,986
Speaker 1: who do it. Also, it's just a different way than

324
00:16:14,986 --> 00:16:17,986
Speaker 1: the traditional Hey, punt the ball away and trust your defense.

325
00:16:18,346 --> 00:16:21,946
Speaker 1: I do feel Lions fans this week though, if they're hurting,

326
00:16:21,986 --> 00:16:25,626
Speaker 1: because as much as we could break down the new,

327
00:16:25,866 --> 00:16:28,706
Speaker 1: the truth of the matter is intricacies and nuances and

328
00:16:28,786 --> 00:16:31,266
Speaker 1: drops by Josh Reynolds and drops by Aman Ross, Saint

329
00:16:31,306 --> 00:16:36,626
Speaker 1: Brown and whatever else. Yeah, it's just we're not going

330
00:16:36,626 --> 00:16:39,826
Speaker 1: to Super Bowl and it ends and it's over. So

331
00:16:39,866 --> 00:16:42,946
Speaker 1: it all came together and we could do percentage points

332
00:16:42,946 --> 00:16:44,706
Speaker 1: all we want. But I say this was sadness for

333
00:16:44,786 --> 00:16:47,586
Speaker 1: Lions fans. But the Niners advance, So it's Chiefs Niners.

334
00:16:48,666 --> 00:16:50,986
Speaker 1: Real quick. On some coaching stuff. As we're recording this,

335
00:16:51,586 --> 00:16:53,786
Speaker 1: all but two jobs are filled. I think we're gonna

336
00:16:53,826 --> 00:16:57,946
Speaker 1: fill Seattle and Washington over the next few days. Three

337
00:16:58,026 --> 00:17:04,946
Speaker 1: names to watch Ben Johnson, Mike McDonald, and then Aaron Glenn,

338
00:17:04,986 --> 00:17:09,066
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator of the Detroit Lions. I think his name

339
00:17:09,146 --> 00:17:11,786
Speaker 1: is being batted around quite a bit. And then of

340
00:17:11,786 --> 00:17:14,226
Speaker 1: course Dan Quinn, who felt like he was the clubhouse

341
00:17:14,306 --> 00:17:19,146
Speaker 1: leader all along for Seattle, but that hasn't happened yet,

342
00:17:19,186 --> 00:17:20,826
Speaker 1: which leads me to think they want to still meet

343
00:17:20,826 --> 00:17:23,266
Speaker 1: with some other guys. One note on Quinn, I don't

344
00:17:23,266 --> 00:17:25,306
Speaker 1: know the numbers. We've had him on the podcast. Everyone

345
00:17:26,026 --> 00:17:27,546
Speaker 1: was surprised that he took his name out of all

346
00:17:27,546 --> 00:17:29,666
Speaker 1: the runnings last year. Like, dan Quinn makes a lot

347
00:17:29,706 --> 00:17:31,666
Speaker 1: of money to be the Cowboys defensive coordinator. He's got

348
00:17:31,706 --> 00:17:35,226
Speaker 1: a really good gig down there. He's really really well respected,

349
00:17:35,306 --> 00:17:39,386
Speaker 1: and his defense continues to perform. The thought with Quinn

350
00:17:39,506 --> 00:17:41,906
Speaker 1: if he doesn't take Seattle, or he isn't offered Seattle,

351
00:17:41,906 --> 00:17:44,026
Speaker 1: it's like, all right, Mike McCarthy has one more year.

352
00:17:44,186 --> 00:17:46,586
Speaker 1: If that doesn't work, is it dan Quin's turn. I

353
00:17:46,666 --> 00:17:48,946
Speaker 1: just know he's well compensated. He's got a lot of money.

354
00:17:48,986 --> 00:17:51,066
Speaker 1: Money's not going to be the factor for dan Quinn.

355
00:17:51,226 --> 00:17:52,946
Speaker 1: He was the coach of the Falcons for many years,

356
00:17:52,946 --> 00:17:55,426
Speaker 1: made multiple contracts, and he has as highly paid as

357
00:17:55,466 --> 00:17:58,146
Speaker 1: any coordinator in the league. So Seattle might feel like

358
00:17:58,186 --> 00:17:59,586
Speaker 1: call him. It might be right, he might really want that.

359
00:17:59,626 --> 00:18:02,106
Speaker 1: If he doesn't get it, that's it's a bit of

360
00:18:02,106 --> 00:18:04,026
Speaker 1: a surprise. But I think as the days go by

361
00:18:04,186 --> 00:18:06,186
Speaker 1: it's less and less dan Quinn's job based on the

362
00:18:06,186 --> 00:18:08,146
Speaker 1: fact that, oh, I don't know, they could have hired

363
00:18:08,186 --> 00:18:11,786
Speaker 1: him already. As I say that, he could be hired

364
00:18:11,786 --> 00:18:13,786
Speaker 1: by noon, and we'll go from there. As you're listening

365
00:18:13,866 --> 00:18:16,706
Speaker 1: to this offensive coordinator stuff around the league, a couple

366
00:18:16,706 --> 00:18:19,026
Speaker 1: of things that keep an eye eye out on. You

367
00:18:19,066 --> 00:18:21,386
Speaker 1: saw Kellen Moore got the Eagles one that's a big deal.

368
00:18:21,786 --> 00:18:24,546
Speaker 1: You saw your former offensive coordinator in Buffalo, Aaron ken

369
00:18:24,586 --> 00:18:27,986
Speaker 1: Dorsey got the Buffalo, got the Cleveland job. Two spots

370
00:18:28,106 --> 00:18:31,626
Speaker 1: that are interesting. New England's is interesting. Does Nick Kyley,

371
00:18:31,746 --> 00:18:34,106
Speaker 1: who was the tight ends coach of the Rams, take

372
00:18:34,146 --> 00:18:38,346
Speaker 1: that job? That sounds like a possibility. Tennessee is fascinating.

373
00:18:38,386 --> 00:18:42,506
Speaker 1: Brian Callahan is the offensive coordinator. There's a guy named

374
00:18:42,586 --> 00:18:45,026
Speaker 1: Nick Holes who I've known for quite some time, who

375
00:18:45,146 --> 00:18:48,066
Speaker 1: coach with the Raiders for years, but also coach with

376
00:18:48,106 --> 00:18:51,986
Speaker 1: the Jaguars the past year with Trevor Lawrence. Really hot

377
00:18:52,066 --> 00:18:54,906
Speaker 1: name Nick. And now you're gonna say it's, well, it's

378
00:18:54,906 --> 00:18:57,066
Speaker 1: just cronyism, but he actually went to high school with

379
00:18:57,066 --> 00:19:00,226
Speaker 1: Brian Callahan. Those guys know each other very well, have

380
00:19:00,346 --> 00:19:02,266
Speaker 1: not coached together in many years, but they knew each

381
00:19:02,266 --> 00:19:04,666
Speaker 1: other very well, and then I believe overlapped in Oakland

382
00:19:04,706 --> 00:19:07,986
Speaker 1: when they were together working with Derek car I think

383
00:19:08,026 --> 00:19:10,866
Speaker 1: he's a name, Eric Studsville another name to mention for

384
00:19:10,946 --> 00:19:15,586
Speaker 1: that position. And then Vegas, which right now no offensive coordinator,

385
00:19:16,026 --> 00:19:18,546
Speaker 1: no quarterback. I can't imagine Jimmy's gonna be the guy.

386
00:19:18,706 --> 00:19:20,786
Speaker 1: I don't know if you say Aidan O'Connell is like

387
00:19:20,786 --> 00:19:22,586
Speaker 1: that feels like Sam Howell to me, like you might

388
00:19:22,626 --> 00:19:25,706
Speaker 1: want to. But they had the thirteenth pick. That's the

389
00:19:25,746 --> 00:19:28,066
Speaker 1: one that I think makes sense for Cliff Kingsbury if

390
00:19:28,106 --> 00:19:31,146
Speaker 1: it goes that way. I've actually spoken to Cliff after

391
00:19:31,186 --> 00:19:33,706
Speaker 1: his Eagles interview. He thought that went pretty well. It

392
00:19:33,746 --> 00:19:35,226
Speaker 1: wasn't sure it was the right fit. They went with

393
00:19:35,346 --> 00:19:37,746
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore. I think that was kind of a mutual

394
00:19:37,786 --> 00:19:40,826
Speaker 1: deal where whatever it was, that wasn't going to be

395
00:19:40,826 --> 00:19:43,066
Speaker 1: the place for Cliff this time around. But there's only

396
00:19:43,106 --> 00:19:45,546
Speaker 1: so many seats on the carousel with these offensive coordinator jobs,

397
00:19:45,546 --> 00:19:48,626
Speaker 1: they are being filled up offully quickly. I look to Vegas.

398
00:19:48,666 --> 00:19:50,266
Speaker 1: I think that would be a good fit if Cliff

399
00:19:50,306 --> 00:19:52,666
Speaker 1: can bring his guys with him and they kind of

400
00:19:52,706 --> 00:19:55,026
Speaker 1: work with Antonio Pierce, who's the defensive guy who has

401
00:19:55,026 --> 00:19:57,026
Speaker 1: not been an NFL head coach. Maybe Cliff can be

402
00:19:57,106 --> 00:19:59,626
Speaker 1: kind of that shoulder to lean on. So that's some

403
00:19:59,786 --> 00:20:02,626
Speaker 1: thoughts on the coaching stuff. We'll find out more this week.

404
00:20:02,666 --> 00:20:04,666
Speaker 1: I think those all those spots would likely be filled

405
00:20:04,666 --> 00:20:07,266
Speaker 1: in the next couple of days, but we do have

406
00:20:07,306 --> 00:20:09,106
Speaker 1: to turn the page to Super Bowl, which is not

407
00:20:09,186 --> 00:20:11,866
Speaker 1: this weekend but the following one. And for our guests,

408
00:20:11,906 --> 00:20:14,226
Speaker 1: I wanted to bring in somebody interesting who might have

409
00:20:14,226 --> 00:20:18,186
Speaker 1: a sports business slant to this. And they're saying this

410
00:20:18,266 --> 00:20:21,146
Speaker 1: is the hardest ticket, most expensive ticket super Bowl history.

411
00:20:21,386 --> 00:20:23,506
Speaker 1: So I brought on someone who knows that world very well.

412
00:20:23,786 --> 00:20:26,426
Speaker 1: His name is Brian Baslow. I'll explain who he is

413
00:20:26,506 --> 00:20:35,866
Speaker 1: and we'll get him on after this, all right, For

414
00:20:36,066 --> 00:20:38,026
Speaker 1: this week's guest, I wanted to bring on someone who

415
00:20:38,746 --> 00:20:40,866
Speaker 1: is in the sports business world and the business of

416
00:20:40,906 --> 00:20:42,546
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. I thought it was really interesting. We've

417
00:20:42,586 --> 00:20:46,066
Speaker 1: done coaches, we've done gms, we've done owners, we've done

418
00:20:46,186 --> 00:20:49,146
Speaker 1: celebrity fans, we've done the gamut here, but we haven't

419
00:20:49,186 --> 00:20:53,146
Speaker 1: had someone who's got this vantage point on the Super Bowl.

420
00:20:53,186 --> 00:20:56,226
Speaker 1: And I wanted to bring in Brian Baslow. Brian is

421
00:20:56,266 --> 00:21:00,186
Speaker 1: the CEO of Concierge Live, which is a ticketing company.

422
00:21:00,226 --> 00:21:01,826
Speaker 1: We'll get into the business of it, but before this,

423
00:21:02,386 --> 00:21:06,146
Speaker 1: Brian was the EVP of ticketing at the Brooklyn Nets.

424
00:21:06,466 --> 00:21:09,866
Speaker 1: Ryan's got a real grasp on ticket sales, ticket trends

425
00:21:10,226 --> 00:21:12,026
Speaker 1: and all of that. And Brian, I wanted to welcome

426
00:21:12,026 --> 00:21:14,826
Speaker 1: you on the season with Peter Schreger. What's up, buddy, Peter.

427
00:21:14,986 --> 00:21:16,586
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me man, I appreciate it.

428
00:21:16,586 --> 00:21:19,586
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun, no doubt. So as this thing

429
00:21:19,666 --> 00:21:23,266
Speaker 1: was shaking out, I'm watching the AFC Championship game in person,

430
00:21:23,266 --> 00:21:26,266
Speaker 1: and I'm like, all right, so Chiefs are going, which

431
00:21:26,306 --> 00:21:33,306
Speaker 1: is probably more glamorous for the Super Bowl then Baltimore.

432
00:21:33,346 --> 00:21:35,226
Speaker 1: But then you had Lamar, and I'm doing the storylines

433
00:21:35,226 --> 00:21:36,586
Speaker 1: on my head and I'm like, I personally love the

434
00:21:36,666 --> 00:21:39,946
Speaker 1: Lamar storyline, but I guess there's other things with the Chiefs,

435
00:21:39,986 --> 00:21:42,586
Speaker 1: with dynasty and Taylor Swift and all that. And then

436
00:21:42,626 --> 00:21:45,626
Speaker 1: when I see the Niners whin, I'm like, yeah, but

437
00:21:45,746 --> 00:21:49,266
Speaker 1: Detroit's the better story because of Detroit not going, So

438
00:21:49,266 --> 00:21:51,146
Speaker 1: I would imagine those tickets would flow the market, but

439
00:21:51,386 --> 00:21:53,626
Speaker 1: it's a West coast trip, so it's easy. You could

440
00:21:53,626 --> 00:21:55,786
Speaker 1: do it in a day. So I'm gonna go to

441
00:21:55,826 --> 00:21:58,146
Speaker 1: you who knows ticketing inside and out and has devoted

442
00:21:58,186 --> 00:22:00,826
Speaker 1: a career to it. I saw a headline saying it's

443
00:22:00,866 --> 00:22:03,866
Speaker 1: the most expensive, hardest to get ticket in Super Bowl history.

444
00:22:04,466 --> 00:22:07,586
Speaker 1: Take it away, Brian, explain why and how it shook

445
00:22:07,586 --> 00:22:08,066
Speaker 1: out that way.

446
00:22:08,666 --> 00:22:11,866
Speaker 3: Yeah, Peter, that's a great lead, and this game is

447
00:22:11,986 --> 00:22:14,786
Speaker 3: an absolute monster. I mean, simply put, it is the

448
00:22:14,786 --> 00:22:18,746
Speaker 3: most expensive ticket in the history of the Super Bowl

449
00:22:18,826 --> 00:22:20,266
Speaker 3: so far. And I'm just doing I was doing those

450
00:22:20,266 --> 00:22:22,906
Speaker 3: same machinations as you sort of what's going to drive

451
00:22:22,946 --> 00:22:25,466
Speaker 3: the super Bowl. You'd think with Kansas City there be

452
00:22:25,506 --> 00:22:27,546
Speaker 3: a little bit of a been there, done that fast. Sure,

453
00:22:28,466 --> 00:22:30,746
Speaker 3: been there four times in the last five years. But no, man,

454
00:22:30,786 --> 00:22:33,906
Speaker 3: I mean, there's a confluence of factors. But simply put,

455
00:22:33,946 --> 00:22:36,386
Speaker 3: it's the most expensive ticket the gain in ticket, Peter,

456
00:22:36,506 --> 00:22:39,266
Speaker 3: the least expensive ticket on the first day of sales

457
00:22:39,626 --> 00:22:43,866
Speaker 3: was nine thousand dollars, nine thousand dollars to get in

458
00:22:43,866 --> 00:22:46,146
Speaker 3: the game. I mean the average price right now even

459
00:22:46,266 --> 00:22:48,106
Speaker 3: is around twelve thousand dollars. And there are a couple

460
00:22:48,146 --> 00:22:50,106
Speaker 3: I mean, there are a couple of tickets in excess

461
00:22:50,106 --> 00:22:51,826
Speaker 3: of fifty thousand dollars per ticket.

462
00:22:52,346 --> 00:22:55,346
Speaker 1: Okay, and you think that's all right, Let's start with

463
00:22:55,346 --> 00:22:59,586
Speaker 1: the Taylor Swift factor. Is that the casual fan saying, look,

464
00:22:59,946 --> 00:23:02,146
Speaker 1: I want to go anyway, it's a cheat and if

465
00:23:02,146 --> 00:23:03,906
Speaker 1: I'm ever going to go, it's the year Taylor Swift?

466
00:23:04,026 --> 00:23:06,146
Speaker 1: Or is it the Hey, this Chief thing might be

467
00:23:06,866 --> 00:23:09,026
Speaker 1: might be ending, and this might be the last time,

468
00:23:09,146 --> 00:23:10,826
Speaker 1: and I want to be there when Mahomes gets his

469
00:23:10,946 --> 00:23:13,826
Speaker 1: third and we win second straight. Like, if you're weighing

470
00:23:13,826 --> 00:23:16,026
Speaker 1: out the factors, is it Mahomes and Kelsey and that

471
00:23:16,106 --> 00:23:17,626
Speaker 1: or is it Taylor Swift is in the building and

472
00:23:17,626 --> 00:23:18,986
Speaker 1: it's kind of cool to be there. It's gonna be

473
00:23:18,986 --> 00:23:20,546
Speaker 1: an event that everyone's gonna be watching.

474
00:23:21,066 --> 00:23:24,546
Speaker 3: Yeah, listen, Peter, this Taylor Swift effect is real, man.

475
00:23:24,626 --> 00:23:27,226
Speaker 3: I mean we've seen it through the regular season and

476
00:23:27,266 --> 00:23:30,426
Speaker 3: the beginning parts of the playoffs. Tickets are typically probably

477
00:23:30,426 --> 00:23:33,626
Speaker 3: twenty to fifty percent more expensive just because she's gonna

478
00:23:33,626 --> 00:23:35,106
Speaker 3: be in the building. I mean, she's not a good performance,

479
00:23:35,146 --> 00:23:38,626
Speaker 3: she's just there. And I think that is the differentiating

480
00:23:38,666 --> 00:23:40,826
Speaker 3: factor on the Chief side. One of the biggest driving

481
00:23:40,826 --> 00:23:43,866
Speaker 3: factors also is just like San Francisco. That Niner team

482
00:23:44,106 --> 00:23:48,386
Speaker 3: is huge there. Following is amazing. Probably twenty six percent

483
00:23:48,386 --> 00:23:50,746
Speaker 3: of the tickets that are sold right now have been

484
00:23:50,786 --> 00:23:52,346
Speaker 3: from San Francisco. And you see it. You see it

485
00:23:52,346 --> 00:23:57,746
Speaker 3: when you're on the road anytime San Francisco is traveling.

486
00:23:57,826 --> 00:23:59,946
Speaker 3: I mean there's a sea of red. That team travels

487
00:23:59,946 --> 00:24:00,666
Speaker 3: as well as anybody.

488
00:24:00,746 --> 00:24:03,226
Speaker 1: Well, it's also a national fan base, I think in

489
00:24:03,266 --> 00:24:05,106
Speaker 1: the eighties where a lot of these fans that have

490
00:24:05,186 --> 00:24:07,946
Speaker 1: now the money to go buy tickets and travel to

491
00:24:07,986 --> 00:24:09,986
Speaker 1: Super Bowls. They were born and they grew up with

492
00:24:10,106 --> 00:24:13,386
Speaker 1: Montana and young. So now that generation's in their thirties

493
00:24:13,426 --> 00:24:15,986
Speaker 1: and forties and then oh yeah, in between, you've had

494
00:24:16,106 --> 00:24:18,186
Speaker 1: some great runs with Alex Smith and Harbaugh, some great

495
00:24:18,226 --> 00:24:19,986
Speaker 1: run with Kaepernick, and then these last five years have

496
00:24:20,066 --> 00:24:23,906
Speaker 1: been just success. So to finally see those Niners hoist

497
00:24:23,946 --> 00:24:26,826
Speaker 1: of Lombardi first time, I think in twenty nine years

498
00:24:26,906 --> 00:24:29,426
Speaker 1: it'll be or twenty three years, I think that matters.

499
00:24:29,426 --> 00:24:32,386
Speaker 1: But you're right, Niners fans they do that. You know,

500
00:24:32,786 --> 00:24:35,426
Speaker 1: bang bang Niner gang. They are everywhere in Philly. Last

501
00:24:35,506 --> 00:24:37,306
Speaker 1: year at NFCY Championship, there was a sea of red

502
00:24:37,306 --> 00:24:39,106
Speaker 1: and that's Philly fans who do not sell their tickets

503
00:24:39,106 --> 00:24:39,986
Speaker 1: to opposing.

504
00:24:39,586 --> 00:24:43,426
Speaker 3: Fans exactly exactly. Also, most of those fans that were

505
00:24:43,466 --> 00:24:45,386
Speaker 3: in the eighties that grew up with Montana, many of

506
00:24:45,426 --> 00:24:47,866
Speaker 3: them have started tech companies, so they drive the price

507
00:24:47,946 --> 00:24:50,586
Speaker 3: up as well. So but yeah, man, it's huge.

508
00:24:51,066 --> 00:24:53,426
Speaker 1: Is that? Is that? Another thing? It's like, who's spending

509
00:24:53,506 --> 00:24:56,546
Speaker 1: nine thousand dollars for just a general admission, like a

510
00:24:56,586 --> 00:24:58,586
Speaker 1: regular ticket in a stadium, other than someone who's got

511
00:24:58,586 --> 00:24:59,426
Speaker 1: the money to spend it.

512
00:25:00,106 --> 00:25:01,786
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean the other thing, Peter, that we haven't

513
00:25:01,786 --> 00:25:05,066
Speaker 3: talked about is the Vegas factor. Man. It is a

514
00:25:05,626 --> 00:25:07,866
Speaker 3: it is a real factor. So the Raiders and you'll

515
00:25:07,946 --> 00:25:10,146
Speaker 3: enjoy this. I mean the Raiders. Just in the regular season,

516
00:25:10,386 --> 00:25:14,466
Speaker 3: the average ticket price for a Raiders game is a

517
00:25:14,506 --> 00:25:16,586
Speaker 3: little over one thousand dollars. That's one hundred and fifty

518
00:25:16,586 --> 00:25:19,386
Speaker 3: percent more than the average ticket in the NFL. And

519
00:25:19,466 --> 00:25:21,346
Speaker 3: I don't think it was because of the Raiders, like

520
00:25:21,426 --> 00:25:25,026
Speaker 3: hot you know, play on the field. It is you know,

521
00:25:25,186 --> 00:25:28,466
Speaker 3: particularly road teams. Those fans love to travel to Vegas

522
00:25:28,546 --> 00:25:30,746
Speaker 3: to see their team play. Now both teams, you know,

523
00:25:30,826 --> 00:25:33,546
Speaker 3: and now you have both markets going to and then

524
00:25:34,026 --> 00:25:35,666
Speaker 3: as you know, you know, the super Bowl's never been

525
00:25:35,706 --> 00:25:40,986
Speaker 3: in Vegas. I can't even frankly like fathom the idea

526
00:25:40,986 --> 00:25:45,226
Speaker 3: of Super Bowl weekend in Las Vegas kind of breaks

527
00:25:45,226 --> 00:25:47,626
Speaker 3: my brain thinking about like what it's going to be,

528
00:25:47,706 --> 00:25:49,666
Speaker 3: Like it will probably be good for your sponsor betterhelp,

529
00:25:49,786 --> 00:25:53,106
Speaker 3: Like I like, it's it's gonna be a big weekend.

530
00:25:53,386 --> 00:25:55,306
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the TV ratings will be through the roof.

531
00:25:55,586 --> 00:25:57,826
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be you know, Mega maybe the

532
00:25:57,906 --> 00:26:00,906
Speaker 1: highest traded ever. And again the swift thing is real.

533
00:26:01,106 --> 00:26:03,386
Speaker 1: But also these are the two probably the best teams

534
00:26:03,386 --> 00:26:05,426
Speaker 1: of the last five years, if you want to say it,

535
00:26:05,466 --> 00:26:07,866
Speaker 1: like who gets the furthest in the playoffs? Niners have

536
00:26:08,346 --> 00:26:12,106
Speaker 1: lost multiple NFC you know, playoff games in recent years,

537
00:26:12,106 --> 00:26:13,586
Speaker 1: but of course have been to the super Bowl and

538
00:26:13,666 --> 00:26:17,706
Speaker 1: want to redeem themselves buying a super Bowl ticket Like

539
00:26:17,786 --> 00:26:20,026
Speaker 1: it sounds so naive from me, and it sounds like

540
00:26:20,026 --> 00:26:22,106
Speaker 1: an arrogant media guy who would never have to, you know,

541
00:26:22,146 --> 00:26:24,106
Speaker 1: go in these waters because I'm there with the credential.

542
00:26:24,146 --> 00:26:26,466
Speaker 1: But like, if I wanted to buy a ticket, like,

543
00:26:26,546 --> 00:26:28,026
Speaker 1: how is that done? To the Super Bowl?

544
00:26:29,226 --> 00:26:31,666
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, listen, the only sort of official way

545
00:26:32,066 --> 00:26:35,186
Speaker 3: is a company called On Location Experiences. I used to

546
00:26:35,226 --> 00:26:37,466
Speaker 3: work there. It's a portfolio company of the NFL and

547
00:26:37,506 --> 00:26:40,826
Speaker 3: then partnership and the owners and endeavor. So that's the

548
00:26:40,906 --> 00:26:43,906
Speaker 3: official way. And then listen, there are lots of different

549
00:26:44,146 --> 00:26:47,306
Speaker 3: you know, sort of secondary markets that that where people

550
00:26:47,306 --> 00:26:50,946
Speaker 3: can source tickets, and you know, there's lots of different ways,

551
00:26:50,946 --> 00:26:52,946
Speaker 3: but the main sort of official way is that company

552
00:26:52,986 --> 00:26:54,066
Speaker 3: on Location Experiences.

553
00:26:54,146 --> 00:26:57,066
Speaker 1: Okay, now, your company, Concierge Live, you're not a ticket broker,

554
00:26:57,466 --> 00:27:00,866
Speaker 1: you are a ticket provider for I love your your

555
00:27:01,106 --> 00:27:04,026
Speaker 1: concept here because we've talked about it. Can you tell

556
00:27:04,066 --> 00:27:06,626
Speaker 1: the listeners what your company does and how you know,

557
00:27:07,386 --> 00:27:09,906
Speaker 1: how you look at that market from a strategic of

558
00:27:10,546 --> 00:27:12,466
Speaker 1: vantage point, but also looking at it from almost like

559
00:27:12,466 --> 00:27:13,346
Speaker 1: a mathematical way.

560
00:27:14,026 --> 00:27:16,066
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you so much for asking. So, like our

561
00:27:16,066 --> 00:27:19,466
Speaker 3: core business, we are a software for sports sponsors to

562
00:27:20,106 --> 00:27:23,186
Speaker 3: manage their tickets. We're like a CRM system for sponsors

563
00:27:23,186 --> 00:27:25,946
Speaker 3: to manage their tickets. That is our core business. But

564
00:27:26,106 --> 00:27:29,226
Speaker 3: our clients also say, hey, listen, it's not in our

565
00:27:29,266 --> 00:27:31,426
Speaker 3: regular tickets, but we're looking to go to the Super Bowl.

566
00:27:31,506 --> 00:27:34,186
Speaker 3: Can you help us source these tickets? So that's where

567
00:27:34,266 --> 00:27:35,906
Speaker 3: sort of the interest and keeping an eye on these

568
00:27:35,906 --> 00:27:37,226
Speaker 3: things comes from Yeah.

569
00:27:37,306 --> 00:27:39,546
Speaker 1: So give an example. Say you're you know, you have

570
00:27:39,546 --> 00:27:41,826
Speaker 1: a client and it's like, let's just say it's Morgan

571
00:27:41,946 --> 00:27:44,546
Speaker 1: Stanley or Goldman Sachs and they come to your company

572
00:27:44,586 --> 00:27:46,986
Speaker 1: and they say, we want to go forget the Super Bowl,

573
00:27:47,066 --> 00:27:52,146
Speaker 1: we want to go to to Nix versus Heat. Where

574
00:27:52,146 --> 00:27:52,906
Speaker 1: do you go from there?

575
00:27:53,386 --> 00:27:55,706
Speaker 3: So they say, we want to go to Knicks versus Heat,

576
00:27:56,386 --> 00:27:58,946
Speaker 3: and we we ask them different questions as far as

577
00:27:58,986 --> 00:28:00,746
Speaker 3: like where they want to sit, who they're taking, what

578
00:28:00,866 --> 00:28:02,506
Speaker 3: part of the produce. It's not just the ticket all

579
00:28:02,546 --> 00:28:04,666
Speaker 3: the time. Sometimes they need sort of a whole run

580
00:28:04,706 --> 00:28:07,906
Speaker 3: of show. So we'll we'll take that information, we'll go

581
00:28:07,986 --> 00:28:10,826
Speaker 3: source the tickets, we'll give them prices, and then we

582
00:28:11,186 --> 00:28:13,346
Speaker 3: can actually just shepherd them the entire time.

583
00:28:13,626 --> 00:28:16,106
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So do you feel like this this crowd

584
00:28:16,186 --> 00:28:17,946
Speaker 1: is gonna be a mix of mostly corporate or do

585
00:28:17,986 --> 00:28:22,146
Speaker 1: you think this is the Chiefs fans. They're like, we're

586
00:28:22,186 --> 00:28:25,066
Speaker 1: coming and the Niners fans are coming. I said it

587
00:28:25,106 --> 00:28:27,426
Speaker 1: last week walking around the AFC Championship game. I'm like,

588
00:28:27,906 --> 00:28:29,986
Speaker 1: I love the Super Bowl and it is awesome in

589
00:28:30,026 --> 00:28:31,626
Speaker 1: the building and it is one of my favorite things

590
00:28:31,626 --> 00:28:33,146
Speaker 1: to be at, especially in the opening kickoff and the

591
00:28:33,226 --> 00:28:35,666
Speaker 1: lights go out. I'm like, put this element of looking

592
00:28:35,706 --> 00:28:37,826
Speaker 1: into the crowd and seeing a sea of purple and

593
00:28:37,866 --> 00:28:40,026
Speaker 1: a sea of red, and knowing every single person that's

594
00:28:40,066 --> 00:28:42,986
Speaker 1: here is here because they freaking love their team. It's

595
00:28:43,026 --> 00:28:44,626
Speaker 1: a little different than the super Bowl, which is still

596
00:28:44,666 --> 00:28:47,026
Speaker 1: amazing in its own way, and it's the biggest stage.

597
00:28:47,626 --> 00:28:49,786
Speaker 1: What do you anticipate because these two fan bases are

598
00:28:49,906 --> 00:28:51,426
Speaker 1: very good.

599
00:28:51,226 --> 00:28:53,506
Speaker 3: It's a new listen. That's a great question. And I

600
00:28:53,506 --> 00:28:55,546
Speaker 3: think historically and the super Bowl has gotten a little

601
00:28:55,546 --> 00:28:57,226
Speaker 3: bit of a bad rap of being a corporate scene

602
00:28:57,266 --> 00:28:59,906
Speaker 3: I have personally seen, and I don't know if you agree, Peter.

603
00:29:00,506 --> 00:29:02,506
Speaker 3: I think the last couple of years, fans have really

604
00:29:02,506 --> 00:29:05,746
Speaker 3: stepped up totally and it's been more fan engaged. Being

605
00:29:05,826 --> 00:29:07,866
Speaker 3: in the building has a much better energy than it

606
00:29:07,946 --> 00:29:10,146
Speaker 3: had maybe five or ten years ago. I think these

607
00:29:10,146 --> 00:29:11,666
Speaker 3: teams are gonna show out. I think it's gonna show

608
00:29:11,706 --> 00:29:13,346
Speaker 3: up in a big way. I also think because it's

609
00:29:13,346 --> 00:29:17,786
Speaker 3: a rematch, because both these teams are probably the best

610
00:29:17,786 --> 00:29:21,386
Speaker 3: two teams in the league as predicted by you a

611
00:29:21,466 --> 00:29:24,626
Speaker 3: year in advance, which is also incredible. I think it's

612
00:29:24,666 --> 00:29:27,546
Speaker 3: gonna I think it's gonna be a fan based thing,

613
00:29:27,746 --> 00:29:29,626
Speaker 3: and I think it's gonna be a really exciting crowd.

614
00:29:29,866 --> 00:29:33,026
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do too. I think the Bengals Rams one

615
00:29:33,106 --> 00:29:35,026
Speaker 1: was interesting because it was in Los Angeles, so I

616
00:29:35,066 --> 00:29:37,746
Speaker 1: assumed would be all Rams fans. That place was flooded

617
00:29:37,786 --> 00:29:40,186
Speaker 1: with orange and black and white, and like Bengals fans

618
00:29:40,226 --> 00:29:43,786
Speaker 1: knew we hadn't been to the super Bowl since nineteen

619
00:29:44,026 --> 00:29:47,266
Speaker 1: eighty nine, like we're coming. This one's a little different,

620
00:29:47,306 --> 00:29:49,626
Speaker 1: and yet I feel like both fan bases will show out.

621
00:29:49,666 --> 00:29:51,626
Speaker 1: Do you have any idea where Swift will be seated

622
00:29:51,906 --> 00:29:53,506
Speaker 1: in that Las Vegas super Bowl?

623
00:29:54,026 --> 00:29:54,466
Speaker 3: That one?

624
00:29:54,706 --> 00:29:55,186
Speaker 1: Not yet?

625
00:29:55,266 --> 00:29:56,746
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm likely she'll be in a sweet but

626
00:29:56,866 --> 00:29:58,586
Speaker 3: I'd be happy to sort of follow up with you

627
00:29:58,666 --> 00:30:00,466
Speaker 3: on that one. How does any other.

628
00:30:00,586 --> 00:30:04,226
Speaker 1: Yeah, how does that even work? Like? Does she does? CBS?

629
00:30:04,266 --> 00:30:05,946
Speaker 1: Like do they take care of that and say we

630
00:30:05,986 --> 00:30:07,986
Speaker 1: want the best vantage point for when our cameras come

631
00:30:08,106 --> 00:30:11,266
Speaker 1: or is it Travis Kelcey suite? Like I think it's

632
00:30:11,306 --> 00:30:13,466
Speaker 1: interesting tell them about because this is the story I

633
00:30:13,506 --> 00:30:16,906
Speaker 1: heard that the super Bowl is in Los Angeles and

634
00:30:16,986 --> 00:30:20,266
Speaker 1: like all year long, whether it be Kelly Stafford and

635
00:30:20,306 --> 00:30:23,426
Speaker 1: Matthew Safford like some people or maybe the coaches, maybe McVeigh.

636
00:30:23,466 --> 00:30:26,866
Speaker 1: I forget what it was. Those guys in their contracts

637
00:30:26,866 --> 00:30:30,306
Speaker 1: have suites for games, but then once the Super Bowl happens,

638
00:30:31,306 --> 00:30:33,466
Speaker 1: that goes to the league, like because I think it

639
00:30:33,506 --> 00:30:35,986
Speaker 1: was interesting, Like it became a different conversation. Nothing bad.

640
00:30:36,026 --> 00:30:38,106
Speaker 1: I think Kelly Safford was it was very happy to

641
00:30:38,186 --> 00:30:40,546
Speaker 1: be celebrating Super Bowl in a suite. It wasn't an issue.

642
00:30:40,666 --> 00:30:43,626
Speaker 1: But I think that was a unique one in the

643
00:30:43,626 --> 00:30:46,506
Speaker 1: Tampa one was because those were in their buildings. But

644
00:30:46,586 --> 00:30:49,586
Speaker 1: who owns the suites? Because is it the Raiders handle

645
00:30:49,626 --> 00:30:50,946
Speaker 1: it or the league handles it.

646
00:30:50,946 --> 00:30:52,906
Speaker 3: It's a great question. At the top of the pyramid,

647
00:30:52,906 --> 00:30:55,306
Speaker 3: it's the league, so the league will be working all

648
00:30:55,426 --> 00:30:58,706
Speaker 3: that out. Also, I'm the Taylor Swift macker. Have you

649
00:30:58,746 --> 00:31:00,666
Speaker 3: been following this? By the way, the internet is like

650
00:31:00,946 --> 00:31:03,066
Speaker 3: trying to solve the mystery of how to get Taylor

651
00:31:03,226 --> 00:31:07,306
Speaker 3: to the game. She has a show in Japan the beforehand,

652
00:31:07,826 --> 00:31:11,226
Speaker 3: she has a show right after in Australia. The internet

653
00:31:11,306 --> 00:31:13,066
Speaker 3: is trying to solve the mystery of how to get

654
00:31:13,066 --> 00:31:14,986
Speaker 3: her there. There's a one hundred hour.

655
00:31:15,146 --> 00:31:18,666
Speaker 1: Yeah, solving for you a massive private jet. That's how

656
00:31:19,466 --> 00:31:22,386
Speaker 1: there's the internet mystery. Now, in all seriousness, I was

657
00:31:22,426 --> 00:31:23,906
Speaker 1: on Simmons and I was like, do you think she'll

658
00:31:23,946 --> 00:31:26,426
Speaker 1: be there? He's like yes. Then I asked my co host,

659
00:31:26,466 --> 00:31:29,626
Speaker 1: Aaron wan Kaufman. Months ago, we talked about this and

660
00:31:29,666 --> 00:31:32,786
Speaker 1: we kind of came out not realizing the show was

661
00:31:32,826 --> 00:31:34,626
Speaker 1: the night before. I thought it was the night of

662
00:31:34,746 --> 00:31:36,506
Speaker 1: that she had a show. It sounds like she's got

663
00:31:36,506 --> 00:31:38,826
Speaker 1: four nights in a row and the last night ends,

664
00:31:38,826 --> 00:31:41,106
Speaker 1: and then the super Bowl is after that and then

665
00:31:41,146 --> 00:31:42,946
Speaker 1: it's Australia that she can make it all work. But

666
00:31:44,066 --> 00:31:47,906
Speaker 1: if it was the same day, you know, you work

667
00:31:47,906 --> 00:31:50,546
Speaker 1: in ticketing, what kind of disaster would that be for

668
00:31:50,586 --> 00:31:53,226
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift if she just canceled a show in Japan?

669
00:31:53,386 --> 00:31:57,666
Speaker 3: She can't do that, right, Listen, We're in uncharted waters

670
00:31:57,706 --> 00:32:00,866
Speaker 3: at this point. But I think at this point Taylor

671
00:32:00,906 --> 00:32:03,626
Speaker 3: Swift can do sort of whatever whatever she wants to do.

672
00:32:03,666 --> 00:32:05,666
Speaker 3: And I'm feeling, come hell or high water, she'd be

673
00:32:05,706 --> 00:32:05,906
Speaker 3: at the.

674
00:32:05,906 --> 00:32:07,826
Speaker 1: Game and get up here on the mic, because I

675
00:32:07,826 --> 00:32:09,866
Speaker 1: think we had we had the debate and we said

676
00:32:10,546 --> 00:32:12,546
Speaker 1: what she could do is if she was to cancel,

677
00:32:12,586 --> 00:32:14,186
Speaker 1: it's all, what if sounds like she's going to be there.

678
00:32:14,626 --> 00:32:18,906
Speaker 1: If she canceled, she can give back like two nights

679
00:32:19,506 --> 00:32:21,826
Speaker 1: and have two more nights later on for all the

680
00:32:21,866 --> 00:32:23,746
Speaker 1: people who she canceled on. Does that sound like a

681
00:32:23,826 --> 00:32:25,266
Speaker 1: nice compromise in the ticketing world.

682
00:32:26,506 --> 00:32:29,106
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think if she rescheduled that show

683
00:32:29,186 --> 00:32:31,706
Speaker 2: and added an additional date, more people get to see her.

684
00:32:31,706 --> 00:32:34,866
Speaker 2: I think fans would be in general very happy with that.

685
00:32:35,306 --> 00:32:36,226
Speaker 1: Brian, your thoughts.

686
00:32:37,266 --> 00:32:39,826
Speaker 3: You're offering a two for one tailor. Hey, sorry, mister,

687
00:32:39,906 --> 00:32:41,106
Speaker 3: now you can go to two shows.

688
00:32:41,546 --> 00:32:44,706
Speaker 1: That's a nice compensation, right, That's kind of nice.

689
00:32:44,746 --> 00:32:46,346
Speaker 3: Man. I like what you're doing here is the hell

690
00:32:46,346 --> 00:32:47,026
Speaker 3: of a business plan.

691
00:32:47,226 --> 00:32:49,786
Speaker 1: That's what That's what I would do, all right? So

692
00:32:49,906 --> 00:32:52,786
Speaker 1: super Bowl big picture, because you do all sporting events,

693
00:32:53,346 --> 00:32:55,746
Speaker 1: is that the hardest ticket to get in sports? Or

694
00:32:55,986 --> 00:32:58,746
Speaker 1: am I often it's like some random tennis match or something.

695
00:32:59,226 --> 00:33:02,106
Speaker 3: No, you're hunter, right, So super Bowl typically has been

696
00:33:02,106 --> 00:33:03,866
Speaker 3: the most expensive by a factor of a lot. The

697
00:33:03,906 --> 00:33:05,586
Speaker 3: one thing kind of creeping up on it has been

698
00:33:05,706 --> 00:33:08,226
Speaker 3: F one. F one has been like a craze in America.

699
00:33:08,306 --> 00:33:12,466
Speaker 3: Two years ago. The one in Miami just just really

700
00:33:12,466 --> 00:33:15,386
Speaker 3: set some records but super Bowl is in a category

701
00:33:15,386 --> 00:33:16,026
Speaker 3: it's all the.

702
00:33:15,906 --> 00:33:18,106
Speaker 1: Time, and that's always been the case, and since you've

703
00:33:18,106 --> 00:33:20,186
Speaker 1: been doing this professionally, or is it like is that

704
00:33:20,306 --> 00:33:22,306
Speaker 1: the last decade where super Bowl just took on a

705
00:33:22,306 --> 00:33:24,106
Speaker 1: different demand to be there.

706
00:33:24,746 --> 00:33:28,386
Speaker 3: It's it's always been the case, but the different like

707
00:33:28,666 --> 00:33:31,026
Speaker 3: the factor at which it's the highest, and just sort

708
00:33:31,066 --> 00:33:34,026
Speaker 3: of the professionalization of on both sides of it, the

709
00:33:34,066 --> 00:33:37,506
Speaker 3: supply side and the demand side. Super Bowl is the biggest,

710
00:33:37,706 --> 00:33:39,746
Speaker 3: but it gets more and more and more expensive and

711
00:33:39,786 --> 00:33:43,026
Speaker 3: the market gets more more efficient every single year, even

712
00:33:43,106 --> 00:33:45,786
Speaker 3: last year. I thought so last year with Philly cuming

713
00:33:46,186 --> 00:33:48,746
Speaker 3: that's a huge market, again, very wealthy market, a much

714
00:33:48,786 --> 00:33:52,586
Speaker 3: bigger city than San Francisco. That was a monster game.

715
00:33:52,706 --> 00:33:56,426
Speaker 3: And this is Peter, this is double double the initial.

716
00:33:56,146 --> 00:33:58,026
Speaker 1: Pres I think you hit it with the location. I

717
00:33:58,026 --> 00:34:01,026
Speaker 1: think Vegas brings a different glamor and glitz and excitement

718
00:34:01,186 --> 00:34:04,626
Speaker 1: level than perhaps Arizona, which has had many Super Bowls

719
00:34:04,666 --> 00:34:07,106
Speaker 1: and is a bit sleepy. If you will, if you're like, oh,

720
00:34:07,186 --> 00:34:09,786
Speaker 1: I'm coming with my boys, I'm already like Vegas. I

721
00:34:09,826 --> 00:34:12,706
Speaker 1: feel like already had this amazing aura around it for

722
00:34:12,746 --> 00:34:15,706
Speaker 1: a celebration and a party and now you add the

723
00:34:15,706 --> 00:34:17,466
Speaker 1: biggest game, and I keep on mentioning swift. I think

724
00:34:17,506 --> 00:34:17,866
Speaker 1: it's real.

725
00:34:19,306 --> 00:34:22,346
Speaker 3: It is real. I mean it's like statistic really real

726
00:34:23,346 --> 00:34:25,586
Speaker 3: that Uh, it's it's just gonna be It's gonna be

727
00:34:25,666 --> 00:34:26,426
Speaker 3: a huge weekend.

728
00:34:26,666 --> 00:34:29,706
Speaker 1: Okay. And before we let you go, my last My

729
00:34:29,786 --> 00:34:33,026
Speaker 1: last thing is when you go to the super Bowl

730
00:34:33,106 --> 00:34:36,226
Speaker 1: and it's the average fans buying the ticket, what else

731
00:34:36,266 --> 00:34:38,146
Speaker 1: do you get in that if you just get a

732
00:34:38,146 --> 00:34:40,066
Speaker 1: super Bowl ticket, is it just access to the game,

733
00:34:40,146 --> 00:34:42,546
Speaker 1: or are there ways that you can also in that

734
00:34:43,146 --> 00:34:45,586
Speaker 1: journey you package it with. I'm gonna get to go

735
00:34:45,666 --> 00:34:48,026
Speaker 1: to an exclusive party, I'm gonna see t Paine perform.

736
00:34:48,026 --> 00:34:50,386
Speaker 1: I'm gonna end up seeing Zach Bryan perform. Like I

737
00:34:50,426 --> 00:34:52,506
Speaker 1: know the NFL has on location and they have events,

738
00:34:52,506 --> 00:34:54,946
Speaker 1: but is it a la carte? How is that all handled?

739
00:34:54,986 --> 00:34:58,226
Speaker 1: If I'm Johnny Niners fan and screw it, I just

740
00:34:58,306 --> 00:34:59,706
Speaker 1: hit the lottery, or I just had a really good

741
00:34:59,746 --> 00:35:02,306
Speaker 1: year financially, I'm taking my kids to the super Bowl.

742
00:35:02,346 --> 00:35:04,226
Speaker 1: Is it just we got the game, we gotta find

743
00:35:04,226 --> 00:35:05,906
Speaker 1: our own hotel, or like, how's it all done?

744
00:35:06,226 --> 00:35:08,626
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a great question. I mean, on location experiences again,

745
00:35:08,666 --> 00:35:11,986
Speaker 3: they do tickets, hotels, they sponsored their own events.

746
00:35:12,106 --> 00:35:15,026
Speaker 1: Then that's called on location experiences if you're looking like

747
00:35:15,026 --> 00:35:17,146
Speaker 1: that's what that company is called, correct.

748
00:35:16,986 --> 00:35:19,186
Speaker 3: So they specifically have it and they have their own

749
00:35:19,186 --> 00:35:23,906
Speaker 3: proprietary pregame event. But there are every hospitality vendor in

750
00:35:23,946 --> 00:35:28,426
Speaker 3: the world has some pop up going on that weekend. Also,

751
00:35:28,786 --> 00:35:30,506
Speaker 3: as you know, there are some of the best parties

752
00:35:30,666 --> 00:35:33,946
Speaker 3: throughout that weekend that Thursday night, Friday night, Saturday night

753
00:35:34,066 --> 00:35:38,186
Speaker 3: Sports Illustrated as a party fanatics and Michael Rubin has

754
00:35:38,226 --> 00:35:40,626
Speaker 3: a secret VIP party that everybody tries to get into.

755
00:35:40,706 --> 00:35:42,346
Speaker 3: There's some pretty fun events that weekend.

756
00:35:42,946 --> 00:35:45,586
Speaker 1: I went to the Michael Ruben party last year. Were

757
00:35:45,626 --> 00:35:46,226
Speaker 1: you there, Brian?

758
00:35:47,746 --> 00:35:50,586
Speaker 3: I was not. I'm hoping this podcast will help me

759
00:35:50,626 --> 00:35:51,346
Speaker 3: in the go forward.

760
00:35:51,786 --> 00:35:56,146
Speaker 1: I went there last year. It was in Arizona. It

761
00:35:56,266 --> 00:35:59,826
Speaker 1: was really fun. I have never even thought to be

762
00:35:59,866 --> 00:36:02,866
Speaker 1: invited to the July fourth thing. That's not my world.

763
00:36:02,946 --> 00:36:06,186
Speaker 1: They don't want the disgusting me coming in there with

764
00:36:06,226 --> 00:36:09,586
Speaker 1: my stained white T shirt and old navy white pants.

765
00:36:09,626 --> 00:36:11,506
Speaker 1: But I did go to the Super Bowl and I

766
00:36:11,506 --> 00:36:14,986
Speaker 1: was happy enough to go. And I will tell you, uh,

767
00:36:15,786 --> 00:36:17,946
Speaker 1: I saw Bryce Young talked to him for a while,

768
00:36:18,026 --> 00:36:20,666
Speaker 1: saw Michael Parsons talk to him for a while, and

769
00:36:20,706 --> 00:36:23,866
Speaker 1: then I saw at that party David Tepper, Jerry Jones,

770
00:36:25,306 --> 00:36:30,386
Speaker 1: Mark Davis, Bob Kraft like that. That party is a

771
00:36:30,426 --> 00:36:34,146
Speaker 1: party to be at, and yet I think it's nearly

772
00:36:34,146 --> 00:36:36,266
Speaker 1: impossible to get in unless you know someone who knows

773
00:36:36,266 --> 00:36:38,266
Speaker 1: someone who knows someone who. In last year's case, I did.

774
00:36:38,546 --> 00:36:41,546
Speaker 3: Listen, you're with someone I know. Listen, you know next time,

775
00:36:41,666 --> 00:36:43,066
Speaker 3: go for go for a plus one.

776
00:36:43,226 --> 00:36:45,066
Speaker 1: I'm a bill, you could come, We could do it.

777
00:36:45,066 --> 00:36:48,346
Speaker 1: We could do it, all right, super Bowl. That's in, Brian,

778
00:36:48,386 --> 00:36:50,706
Speaker 1: I appreciate it real quick. Tell us about your company,

779
00:36:50,706 --> 00:36:53,186
Speaker 1: where we can find it, and if there's a website

780
00:36:53,186 --> 00:36:55,586
Speaker 1: we can we can use to use your services.

781
00:36:55,946 --> 00:36:59,986
Speaker 3: Yeah, Contiers Live, contierslive dot com. Any sports sponsors, please

00:37:00,026 --> 00:37:01,666
Speaker 3: reach out. We'd love to help you.

783
00:37:01,866 --> 00:37:03,706
Speaker 1: Okay, when you say sports sponsors, just real quick, what

784
00:37:03,706 --> 00:37:05,666
Speaker 1: does that mean? Because I'm I'm thinking of like, Okay,

785
00:37:05,706 --> 00:37:09,306
Speaker 1: Doritos spawned, there's a you know, a Super Bowl party.

786
00:37:09,306 --> 00:37:11,426
Speaker 1: But when you say sports sponsors for tickets, what's that mean?

787
00:37:12,066 --> 00:37:14,346
Speaker 3: Yeah? No, it just mean usually when you're a sponsor,

788
00:37:14,386 --> 00:37:16,106
Speaker 3: when you're sponsor of a league, or a team or

789
00:37:16,146 --> 00:37:18,666
Speaker 3: a venue. With those sponsorship come a lot of tickets.

790
00:37:19,106 --> 00:37:21,266
Speaker 3: And that's where our company comes in when you when

791
00:37:21,266 --> 00:37:22,706
Speaker 3: you need to manage those tickets on a day to

792
00:37:22,786 --> 00:37:24,866
Speaker 3: day basis. We're sort of the CRM system for you

793
00:37:24,906 --> 00:37:25,986
Speaker 3: to manage all those tickets.

794
00:37:26,026 --> 00:37:27,746
Speaker 1: Got it? And it's a software that I can log

795
00:37:27,786 --> 00:37:30,106
Speaker 1: in and not have to use a middleman. I could

796
00:37:30,106 --> 00:37:31,466
Speaker 1: just kind of go in and see and it could

797
00:37:31,466 --> 00:37:33,586
Speaker 1: be like, all right, well you could give these tickets

798
00:37:33,586 --> 00:37:35,146
Speaker 1: to these people, and this is how we do that.

799
00:37:35,186 --> 00:37:37,146
Speaker 1: We divvy it up amongst employees, whatever else.

800
00:37:37,626 --> 00:37:40,146
Speaker 3: Totally. If you work for Chase Bank and you're an

801
00:37:40,146 --> 00:37:42,546
Speaker 3: employee and you're saying, hey, how do I accest the

802
00:37:42,546 --> 00:37:45,346
Speaker 3: company tickets, we're the portal for you to be.

803
00:37:45,266 --> 00:37:48,106
Speaker 1: Able to do that's great. I love it. Smart. If

804
00:37:48,146 --> 00:37:50,186
Speaker 1: the NFL has free tickets line around you, let me know.

805
00:37:50,506 --> 00:37:52,866
Speaker 1: I'd love to hit that part. Maybe I could. I

806
00:37:52,866 --> 00:37:54,226
Speaker 1: don't know if they're a client, but maybe I can

807
00:37:54,266 --> 00:37:57,786
Speaker 1: help you make that introduction as well. All right, Brian Baslow,

808
00:37:57,826 --> 00:38:01,066
Speaker 1: awesome stuff. Thank you. The hottest ticket of all time?

809
00:38:01,106 --> 00:38:04,346
Speaker 1: It sounds like the Super Bowl fifty eight in Las Vegas. Dude,

810
00:38:04,386 --> 00:38:05,306
Speaker 1: I appreciate your time.

811
00:38:05,626 --> 00:38:06,146
Speaker 3: Thanks so much.

812
00:38:06,146 --> 00:38:16,106
Speaker 1: Being that was pretty interesting. I knew it would be.

813
00:38:16,146 --> 00:38:17,786
Speaker 1: I always I also thought for some reason, like that

814
00:38:17,906 --> 00:38:21,906
Speaker 1: the Detroit factor would be overriding as far as ticket

815
00:38:21,986 --> 00:38:25,626
Speaker 1: sales go, that every single person who's ever rooted for

816
00:38:25,666 --> 00:38:28,106
Speaker 1: the Lions would find a way nine thousand dollars, fifteen

817
00:38:28,146 --> 00:38:31,546
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, like my mortgage, my house would put it

818
00:38:31,586 --> 00:38:33,186
Speaker 1: on sale, like, so I can go. But I guess

819
00:38:33,186 --> 00:38:36,906
Speaker 1: San Francisco. He's right, it's a. It's a it's a

820
00:38:36,986 --> 00:38:39,346
Speaker 1: it's a combination for those fans of like, yes, they

821
00:38:39,426 --> 00:38:42,226
Speaker 1: might have some tech money there, but also we've been

822
00:38:42,306 --> 00:38:44,546
Speaker 1: knocking on the door for so long, and it's in Vegas.

823
00:38:44,546 --> 00:38:46,466
Speaker 1: It's a short flight. You're not spending on the flight.

824
00:38:46,506 --> 00:38:49,146
Speaker 1: You could even come in the day of and do

825
00:38:49,266 --> 00:38:51,786
Speaker 1: one night, or even fly in day of and maybe

826
00:38:51,786 --> 00:38:54,506
Speaker 1: get a flight out back to San Francisco. Aaron, were

827
00:38:54,506 --> 00:38:56,226
Speaker 1: you surprised that this is the hottest ticket in the

828
00:38:56,266 --> 00:38:57,146
Speaker 1: history of the Super Bowl.

829
00:38:57,746 --> 00:39:01,306
Speaker 2: Absolutely not. I mean, I think, like you said, two

830
00:39:01,386 --> 00:39:04,826
Speaker 2: dynasties that have both been very good the last five years,

831
00:39:05,826 --> 00:39:08,466
Speaker 2: So you have of as cynical as this is, you

832
00:39:08,546 --> 00:39:11,666
Speaker 2: have like true lifelong fans. And then you also have

833
00:39:11,746 --> 00:39:13,466
Speaker 2: people who maybe just got into the NFL in the

834
00:39:13,506 --> 00:39:16,706
Speaker 2: past five years, have loved Mahomes the whole time, and

835
00:39:16,746 --> 00:39:20,106
Speaker 2: they're like all on board. And then there's Taylor Swift,

836
00:39:20,186 --> 00:39:23,106
Speaker 2: and then it's Vegas. I think there's it's a perfect

837
00:39:23,146 --> 00:39:24,906
Speaker 2: storm of everything going right.

838
00:39:25,706 --> 00:39:27,946
Speaker 1: The Taylor Swift thing is interesting. So I have a friend,

839
00:39:27,986 --> 00:39:32,226
Speaker 1: Aaron Luber, who's been on this show many times, and

840
00:39:32,266 --> 00:39:34,026
Speaker 1: he said his wife has never watched down a football,

841
00:39:34,226 --> 00:39:36,466
Speaker 1: his daughter never watched down a football, and they're upsessed

842
00:39:36,466 --> 00:39:38,146
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs because of Taylor Swift. And I think

843
00:39:38,146 --> 00:39:40,986
Speaker 1: that sounds very simple, like football man's wife is now

844
00:39:40,986 --> 00:39:43,946
Speaker 1: into it. It sounds almost cliche, but they really root for

845
00:39:43,986 --> 00:39:48,826
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. They're on this ride. I don't think they're alone.

846
00:39:49,666 --> 00:39:52,226
Speaker 1: But how does that translate to wanting to be at

847
00:39:52,266 --> 00:39:54,946
Speaker 1: the game because she's there, you're not gonna guarantee yourself

848
00:39:54,946 --> 00:39:57,306
Speaker 1: an interaction. I'm surprised that her being at the game

849
00:39:57,386 --> 00:40:01,266
Speaker 1: has played a role into ticket sales viewership.

850
00:40:01,346 --> 00:40:04,706
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't. That's a great question because

851
00:40:04,706 --> 00:40:05,306
Speaker 2: he said he.

852
00:40:05,306 --> 00:40:07,146
Speaker 1: Said twenty percent that the thy percent higher in the

853
00:40:07,146 --> 00:40:08,586
Speaker 1: games that she's at. Is it just the idea of

854
00:40:08,586 --> 00:40:11,066
Speaker 1: being around a celebrity like that, she's in the building.

855
00:40:11,106 --> 00:40:13,586
Speaker 2: I'm in the building, I guess, and like you're there

856
00:40:13,666 --> 00:40:17,386
Speaker 2: when she's kind of there as a casual real person

857
00:40:17,466 --> 00:40:21,106
Speaker 2: because she's just there watching Travis play. She's not there performing.

858
00:40:21,186 --> 00:40:24,346
Speaker 2: It's not like I don't know. I don't understand that.

859
00:40:25,466 --> 00:40:25,666
Speaker 1: You know.

860
00:40:25,706 --> 00:40:27,266
Speaker 2: You and I have talked about Taylor Swift on this

861
00:40:27,306 --> 00:40:30,426
Speaker 2: show more times than anyone would have expected. I think

862
00:40:30,906 --> 00:40:32,146
Speaker 2: twelve part of the story it.

863
00:40:32,106 --> 00:40:34,146
Speaker 1: Is, if you were to tell me the story of

864
00:40:34,586 --> 00:40:38,466
Speaker 1: this NFL season, I'm coming to a blank when I'm

865
00:40:38,466 --> 00:40:40,746
Speaker 1: trying to think about, like we could talk about Lamar

866
00:40:40,906 --> 00:40:44,226
Speaker 1: and the amazing seasons that the Browns and Lions had

867
00:40:44,266 --> 00:40:46,306
Speaker 1: from out of nowhere and what Demko Ryans did, but

868
00:40:46,306 --> 00:40:49,186
Speaker 1: you better believe it's been this Chiefs team. And then

869
00:40:49,466 --> 00:40:52,706
Speaker 1: how this Taylor Swift Travis Kelsey deal has taken pop

870
00:40:52,746 --> 00:40:53,786
Speaker 1: culture by storm too.

871
00:40:54,186 --> 00:40:57,386
Speaker 2: I have a lukewarm take that I haven't voiced at all.

872
00:40:57,586 --> 00:40:59,266
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm in the mood for that

873
00:40:59,306 --> 00:40:59,946
Speaker 1: this week go.

874
00:40:59,986 --> 00:41:05,466
Speaker 2: On, did does the Taylor Swift Travis Kelsey relationship overshadow

875
00:41:05,706 --> 00:41:08,186
Speaker 2: that Kelsey just had an incredible game it was his

876
00:41:08,266 --> 00:41:09,826
Speaker 2: best game any thing.

877
00:41:10,026 --> 00:41:12,266
Speaker 1: If anything, it puts more of a spotlight. He eleven

878
00:41:12,306 --> 00:41:17,386
Speaker 1: catches on eleven targets. He was amazing. And then afterwards

879
00:41:17,466 --> 00:41:20,986
Speaker 1: kind of sweet guy who has a new girlfriend are

880
00:41:21,186 --> 00:41:24,306
Speaker 1: embracing and kissing and not scared to show their affection,

881
00:41:24,626 --> 00:41:27,346
Speaker 1: and she says on the mic, up, I'm so proud

882
00:41:27,386 --> 00:41:30,506
Speaker 1: of you. You don't even know, like it's hard to

883
00:41:30,546 --> 00:41:31,306
Speaker 1: be cynic man.

884
00:41:31,466 --> 00:41:31,786
Speaker 3: Yeah.

885
00:41:31,866 --> 00:41:37,186
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. So, as I mentioned to you off Mike,

886
00:41:37,226 --> 00:41:42,266
Speaker 1: I thought we'd wrap the podcast with a little something. Okay,

887
00:41:42,466 --> 00:41:44,626
Speaker 1: I did a segment on Good Morning Football. I'm gonna

888
00:41:44,626 --> 00:41:47,226
Speaker 1: bring it back. It's gonna be recycling content, if that's okay.

889
00:41:48,386 --> 00:41:53,826
Speaker 1: The segment was five media ideas that I have for

890
00:41:53,946 --> 00:41:57,546
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick for next season. And it looks like he's

891
00:41:57,586 --> 00:41:58,826
Speaker 1: not gonna be a head coach. He could still be

892
00:41:58,826 --> 00:42:01,186
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator somewhere. I can still coach across somewhere.

893
00:42:01,186 --> 00:42:04,586
Speaker 1: I can still coach college. He could be an executive somewhere.

894
00:42:04,666 --> 00:42:06,786
Speaker 1: That's all possible if he goes into meeting. Yeah, I

895
00:42:06,866 --> 00:42:11,386
Speaker 1: think the standard ideas are he'll be in a booth,

896
00:42:11,386 --> 00:42:13,666
Speaker 1: he'll be in a studio show, he'll have a podcast,

897
00:42:13,946 --> 00:42:17,346
Speaker 1: I listed five ideas. I'm gonna bounce him off with you, Aaron,

898
00:42:17,386 --> 00:42:20,986
Speaker 1: and you tell me your thoughts Number five. One of

899
00:42:20,986 --> 00:42:23,786
Speaker 1: the greatest clips of Bill Belichick is when Randy Moss

900
00:42:23,786 --> 00:42:26,746
Speaker 1: comes in in a twenty eleven documentary that he did

901
00:42:26,746 --> 00:42:30,026
Speaker 1: for NFL Films where they were tracking the twenty eleven Patriots,

902
00:42:30,066 --> 00:42:32,666
Speaker 1: and Randy Moss comes in and he just gives Bill

903
00:42:32,666 --> 00:42:35,226
Speaker 1: Belichick the heads up, we're having a Halloween party tonight.

904
00:42:35,266 --> 00:42:36,946
Speaker 1: It's gonna be had a roller skating rink. We'd love

905
00:42:36,946 --> 00:42:39,706
Speaker 1: for you to come, you know, bring Linda, who is

906
00:42:39,746 --> 00:42:41,306
Speaker 1: his girlfriend at the time, Like, we'd love for you

907
00:42:41,346 --> 00:42:42,666
Speaker 1: to but we're just giving your heads up. We're having

908
00:42:42,666 --> 00:42:44,306
Speaker 1: a party. I don't want you to be surprised by it.

909
00:42:44,746 --> 00:42:47,946
Speaker 1: And then the next clip is Bill Belichick dresses a

910
00:42:47,986 --> 00:42:51,586
Speaker 1: pirate doing laps in roller skates and everyone loving it,

911
00:42:51,626 --> 00:42:54,866
Speaker 1: and the relationship between Belichick and Moss is real. I

912
00:42:54,866 --> 00:42:56,186
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever told this story, but

913
00:42:56,266 --> 00:43:01,186
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Super Bowl, which happened to be Patriots versus Eagles,

914
00:43:01,426 --> 00:43:04,746
Speaker 1: I think yeah, Patriots Minnesota super Bowl, Randy Moss had

915
00:43:04,746 --> 00:43:06,426
Speaker 1: a birthday party. I want to say this was fortieth

916
00:43:06,466 --> 00:43:08,066
Speaker 1: day party. I had worked with Randy at Fox. We

917
00:43:08,066 --> 00:43:10,106
Speaker 1: had a really strong relationship with the time. We're still friendly.

918
00:43:10,106 --> 00:43:11,626
Speaker 1: I still text with him, but this was like we

919
00:43:11,666 --> 00:43:15,506
Speaker 1: would talk often we worked together, and Randy had just

920
00:43:15,546 --> 00:43:18,026
Speaker 1: started at ESPN, and he invited me to his fortieth

921
00:43:18,026 --> 00:43:20,946
Speaker 1: birthday party and Gary Owen did the comedy and performed

922
00:43:20,946 --> 00:43:22,466
Speaker 1: that like Gary Allan, I'm if you're a fan or

923
00:43:22,506 --> 00:43:24,786
Speaker 1: if you know his work, and I get there and

924
00:43:24,826 --> 00:43:27,506
Speaker 1: I was amazed to see the week of the Super Bowl,

925
00:43:27,506 --> 00:43:30,306
Speaker 1: I think it was the Thursday night. Bill Belichick was

926
00:43:30,306 --> 00:43:33,306
Speaker 1: there to celebrate Randy Moss's birthday party, and so was

927
00:43:33,346 --> 00:43:36,026
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan, and so were so many other teammates of

928
00:43:36,146 --> 00:43:39,066
Speaker 1: Randy's and it was just a really cool room. But

929
00:43:39,146 --> 00:43:43,226
Speaker 1: I think my idea is pairing Randy Moss's passion and

930
00:43:43,266 --> 00:43:45,946
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick's knowledge. And I think Belichick's also a man

931
00:43:45,986 --> 00:43:49,786
Speaker 1: of the sea, obviously his Navy background and his love

932
00:43:49,826 --> 00:43:54,106
Speaker 1: for Nantucket a phishing show. Bill Belichick and Randy Moss,

933
00:43:54,146 --> 00:43:55,586
Speaker 1: your thoughts, I love it.

934
00:43:55,706 --> 00:43:57,866
Speaker 2: I can just I mean, everyone always talks about the

935
00:43:57,906 --> 00:44:01,586
Speaker 2: viral clip of Bill, you know, in a press conference

936
00:44:01,626 --> 00:44:04,306
Speaker 2: after the game. He's never happy and then someone asks

937
00:44:04,346 --> 00:44:07,426
Speaker 2: him about a long snapper, and he goes on twelve minutes.

938
00:44:07,866 --> 00:44:10,106
Speaker 2: I can just imagine that two of them sitting on

939
00:44:10,146 --> 00:44:12,826
Speaker 2: the dock or the back of the boat a port

940
00:44:12,946 --> 00:44:17,466
Speaker 2: or starboard, whatever the back is, and Bill taught like

941
00:44:17,746 --> 00:44:20,306
Speaker 2: Randy calling out some fish that they're trying to catch.

942
00:44:20,346 --> 00:44:23,866
Speaker 2: And Bill goes on a fifteen minute soliloquy about how

943
00:44:23,946 --> 00:44:27,266
Speaker 2: much he loves this one particular, the skip back tuna,

944
00:44:27,386 --> 00:44:29,546
Speaker 2: because it's, you know, like the way that they travel

945
00:44:29,586 --> 00:44:31,786
Speaker 2: in school. I would love it a plus.

946
00:44:31,506 --> 00:44:33,906
Speaker 1: All in amazing. I love it that it would be

947
00:44:33,906 --> 00:44:35,586
Speaker 1: those two guys who have been so guarded from the

948
00:44:35,586 --> 00:44:38,706
Speaker 1: media for so many years. Just Uncut. Number four a

949
00:44:38,786 --> 00:44:42,266
Speaker 1: Patriots focused podcast with noted Patriots fan Bill Burr.

950
00:44:43,266 --> 00:44:49,866
Speaker 2: O have have Burr and Belichick done? They corected it all.

951
00:44:49,946 --> 00:44:53,546
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe I'm sure Burr is known by Belichick.

952
00:44:53,626 --> 00:44:55,306
Speaker 2: Oh yeah uh.

953
00:44:55,466 --> 00:44:57,666
Speaker 1: Burr obviously one of the greatest comedians, one of the

954
00:44:57,706 --> 00:45:03,986
Speaker 1: most candid and unfiltered people in our world. Also huge

955
00:45:04,026 --> 00:45:09,026
Speaker 1: Patriots fan, huge Patriot. It's fan. Interesting one. Number three

956
00:45:09,986 --> 00:45:13,866
Speaker 1: The Coach Cast with Nick Saban and Pete Carroll, So

957
00:45:13,946 --> 00:45:16,946
Speaker 1: you know, the Manning Cast, and I say, the Manning

958
00:45:16,946 --> 00:45:20,026
Speaker 1: cast works because you get the football insights, but you

959
00:45:20,066 --> 00:45:25,066
Speaker 1: also get the crosstalk and the conversation. Nick Saban currently

960
00:45:25,226 --> 00:45:27,906
Speaker 1: not employed, Pete Carroll currently not employed. I don't know

961
00:45:27,906 --> 00:45:29,666
Speaker 1: what they plan on doing in the future, Saban. I'm

962
00:45:29,666 --> 00:45:32,386
Speaker 1: sure we'll have some advisory role with Alabama. Carol can

963
00:45:32,466 --> 00:45:37,266
Speaker 1: have the same with Seattle. Until then, every let's pick

964
00:45:37,266 --> 00:45:40,386
Speaker 1: a how about Amazon picks them up for every Thursday night,

965
00:45:40,426 --> 00:45:42,786
Speaker 1: these guys break down the game on a second alternative

966
00:45:42,826 --> 00:45:44,186
Speaker 1: telecast your thoughts.

967
00:45:43,946 --> 00:45:46,986
Speaker 2: Oh, I would love that because, I mean one of

968
00:45:47,026 --> 00:45:50,426
Speaker 2: our favorite things about your coworker, Greg Olsen, like Greg

969
00:45:50,586 --> 00:45:53,386
Speaker 2: when he's sitting there in the booth breaking down the

970
00:45:53,426 --> 00:45:56,146
Speaker 2: plays as they're happening and predicting what's going to happen

971
00:45:56,426 --> 00:46:01,146
Speaker 2: and like unfolding each team strategy in real time. Imagine

972
00:46:01,186 --> 00:46:03,986
Speaker 2: having three of the best coaches doing that at the

973
00:46:03,986 --> 00:46:05,546
Speaker 2: same time. I mean, that would be great.

974
00:46:05,586 --> 00:46:08,706
Speaker 1: I'd love that. And I can't imagine Belichick busting chops

975
00:46:08,706 --> 00:46:11,106
Speaker 1: with Carol Saban, Like that'd be fun. I think he

976
00:46:11,186 --> 00:46:15,226
Speaker 1: respects both those guys. Yes, all right. Number two A

977
00:46:15,306 --> 00:46:18,746
Speaker 1: show called Eighties and Nineties Giant Stuff, and it's with

978
00:46:18,786 --> 00:46:20,906
Speaker 1: Bill Parcells, Phil Sims, and Lawrence Taylor and they just

979
00:46:20,906 --> 00:46:23,346
Speaker 1: go back and watch all Giants games and talk about them.

980
00:46:23,826 --> 00:46:29,306
Speaker 2: So this is like, uh, like every every sitcom has

981
00:46:29,306 --> 00:46:32,586
Speaker 2: a rewatch podcast, and this would be Bill hosting it.

982
00:46:33,306 --> 00:46:36,386
Speaker 1: Scrubs going back watching episode.

983
00:46:35,986 --> 00:46:38,426
Speaker 2: And they bring in a guest each week who you know,

984
00:46:38,506 --> 00:46:41,346
Speaker 2: Like this week it's the it's you know, the wide Receiver,

985
00:46:41,546 --> 00:46:43,186
Speaker 2: and this week it's.

986
00:46:42,626 --> 00:46:46,026
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's the Office ladies, it's Jenni Fisher

987
00:46:46,226 --> 00:46:51,426
Speaker 1: or not jennif Fisher, Angela, Yes, Angela Kinsei who play

988
00:46:51,746 --> 00:46:54,906
Speaker 1: Pam and Angela from the Office. They go through every episode. Now,

989
00:46:54,946 --> 00:46:59,626
Speaker 1: I personally got sucked into the Sopranos one with our

990
00:46:59,626 --> 00:47:03,866
Speaker 1: guy Sharipa and Michael Imperioli when they watched every single

991
00:47:03,906 --> 00:47:05,706
Speaker 1: episode and did a recap. But to your point, they

992
00:47:05,786 --> 00:47:08,506
Speaker 1: brought on again, it'd be like here's the guy who

993
00:47:08,506 --> 00:47:10,986
Speaker 1: played cousin Veto and like he's gonna talk about it,

994
00:47:10,986 --> 00:47:13,586
Speaker 1: and here's the guy who played Angelo. So in this case,

995
00:47:14,386 --> 00:47:16,466
Speaker 1: eighties and nineties Giants stuff. I think the Giants have

996
00:47:16,506 --> 00:47:19,626
Speaker 1: a huge fan base. Jason English are our buddy from

997
00:47:19,626 --> 00:47:21,146
Speaker 1: my iHeart is in here, and I know he is

998
00:47:21,186 --> 00:47:23,026
Speaker 1: a hardcore Giants head of this era. You're in for it,

999
00:47:23,106 --> 00:47:25,386
Speaker 1: all right. The number one though that I thought would

1000
00:47:25,386 --> 00:47:29,146
Speaker 1: be fun. Number one idea drum Rope co host the

1001
00:47:29,266 --> 00:47:31,306
Speaker 1: NFL Red Zone with Scott Hanson every Sunday.

1002
00:47:33,066 --> 00:47:36,506
Speaker 2: What two different levels of acargy? Which would be Which

1003
00:47:36,546 --> 00:47:38,866
Speaker 2: would be great?

1004
00:47:39,746 --> 00:47:40,066
Speaker 1: Man?

1005
00:47:40,266 --> 00:47:43,106
Speaker 2: The I Also I think back to my favorite I

1006
00:47:43,146 --> 00:47:45,226
Speaker 2: don't know favorite is the right word, but one of

1007
00:47:45,266 --> 00:47:47,666
Speaker 2: the most memorable moments from Red Zone this year, of course,

1008
00:47:47,746 --> 00:47:50,866
Speaker 2: is the fire alarms going off. Can you imagine Scott

1009
00:47:50,906 --> 00:47:53,786
Speaker 2: and Bill, Like I can just see Bill totally unfazed.

1010
00:47:53,826 --> 00:48:00,026
Speaker 1: Scott, Yeah, Scott, don't panic. That's why that's the fire department.

1011
00:48:00,026 --> 00:48:03,746
Speaker 1: They'll do their job. That's what they're there for. Also,

1012
00:48:03,986 --> 00:48:09,546
Speaker 1: like in the moment there's five games going on, fourth quarter,

1013
00:48:10,106 --> 00:48:12,906
Speaker 1: you hear Belichick in the corner and be like, oh, yes, yeah,

1014
00:48:12,986 --> 00:48:15,626
Speaker 1: what is Belichick into it? And he's watching some random

1015
00:48:15,706 --> 00:48:17,626
Speaker 1: Bear Saints game that the game's like a twenty point

1016
00:48:17,666 --> 00:48:19,386
Speaker 1: game and it's not significant, but it's like a punt.

1017
00:48:19,626 --> 00:48:23,746
Speaker 2: Also, I would love, you know, Scott is there. Witching

1018
00:48:23,786 --> 00:48:27,306
Speaker 2: Hour is Scott's thing. He's so excited for that one moment.

1019
00:48:27,706 --> 00:48:29,746
Speaker 2: Maybe Bill gets a moment in the second slate of

1020
00:48:29,826 --> 00:48:32,626
Speaker 2: games when his dog Nike shows up and just like

1021
00:48:32,666 --> 00:48:34,466
Speaker 2: sits on his lap for a couple of plays and

1022
00:48:34,506 --> 00:48:36,186
Speaker 2: then leaves like that would be good too.

1023
00:48:36,986 --> 00:48:40,106
Speaker 1: Totally. Those are my five ideas. If you have any others,

1024
00:48:40,226 --> 00:48:45,066
Speaker 1: please send him our way. Let's do the Uber sponsorship

1025
00:48:45,066 --> 00:48:46,866
Speaker 1: at the end here? Is that still a sponsor?

1026
00:48:46,906 --> 00:48:47,106
Speaker 3: Aaron?

1027
00:48:47,146 --> 00:48:48,226
Speaker 1: We're still with those guys?

1028
00:48:48,386 --> 00:48:51,186
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and I'm we got to start thinking about

1029
00:48:51,226 --> 00:48:53,866
Speaker 2: what food. I actually already made some grocery orders for

1030
00:48:53,946 --> 00:48:56,306
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, so I have, you know, big bags of

1031
00:48:56,386 --> 00:48:58,506
Speaker 2: chips to eat during the game.

1032
00:48:58,866 --> 00:49:00,506
Speaker 1: This is gonna be the first Super Bowl in many

1033
00:49:00,546 --> 00:49:03,586
Speaker 1: years that I will not be attending, and maybe I

1034
00:49:03,586 --> 00:49:06,946
Speaker 1: should use some Uber eats. Is that the Uber eats

1035
00:49:07,066 --> 00:49:09,826
Speaker 1: is because it's almost almost anything that we can get.

1036
00:49:09,906 --> 00:49:13,386
Speaker 1: Maybe they can make me some guacamole and some chips

1037
00:49:13,386 --> 00:49:15,466
Speaker 1: and we'll go down there.

1038
00:49:15,546 --> 00:49:17,826
Speaker 2: What about cotton candy? You think Uber eats could get

1039
00:49:17,866 --> 00:49:18,706
Speaker 2: you some? Can'ty?

1040
00:49:18,706 --> 00:49:21,066
Speaker 1: Do you think they could? They get almost almost anything

1041
00:49:21,946 --> 00:49:24,306
Speaker 1: the season when Peter Schragger delivering results is presented by

1042
00:49:24,346 --> 00:49:26,986
Speaker 1: Uber eats, it's time for delivering results presented by Uber eats.

1043
00:49:27,026 --> 00:49:30,266
Speaker 1: This week, I want to shout out brock Purty as

1044
00:49:30,506 --> 00:49:35,386
Speaker 1: our individual who purely delivered in the biggest moments. Party

1045
00:49:35,426 --> 00:49:38,386
Speaker 1: down seventeen. I think he went five of seventeen with

1046
00:49:38,426 --> 00:49:40,306
Speaker 1: a pick in the first half. And I said it

1047
00:49:40,306 --> 00:49:42,306
Speaker 1: on air on Good Morning Football. I had friends in

1048
00:49:42,386 --> 00:49:46,226
Speaker 1: my mentions in a text chain, I'm on saying time

1049
00:49:46,226 --> 00:49:47,866
Speaker 1: to go to Donald What are we doing here? Like

1050
00:49:47,946 --> 00:49:50,106
Speaker 1: even now they still don't believe in Party, even all

1051
00:49:50,146 --> 00:49:52,546
Speaker 1: of you, that's still gonna be Let's go to Donald. Well,

1052
00:49:52,586 --> 00:49:55,306
Speaker 1: Party turned it around, had some amazing drives, had some

1053
00:49:55,426 --> 00:49:58,426
Speaker 1: key passes to Juwan Jennings, and some key plays to Deebo,

1054
00:49:58,426 --> 00:50:00,786

Speaker 1: second year in the NFL, he will be playing in

1058
00:50:08,426 --> 00:50:11,426
Speaker 1: a super Bowl against the greatest quarterback of his generation.

1059
00:50:11,506 --> 00:50:15,546
Speaker 1: I say that without maybe saying possibly or anything contingent

1060
00:50:15,586 --> 00:50:18,386
Speaker 1: on anything. It is Brady and it is now Mahomes.

1061

Speaker 1: When you're talking about the last twenty years of NFL
