Speaker 2: The freaking super Bowl is how we started this week,
Speaker 2: and everybody wants to talk about one thing coming out
Speaker 2: of it. Everybody has one thing that they've been waiting
Speaker 2: for me to talk about. And you know what that is, Johnny, Johnny,
Speaker 2: I know you know that I have been talking about
Speaker 2: it all week off air, and I'm like, you just wait,

Speaker 1: When I take my victory lap.
Speaker 2: If you listened last week to WTL podcast, I was
Speaker 2: their guest on Where's the Line Sports Betting podcast, The
Speaker 2: one and only sports betting podcast in the state of Nebraska.
Speaker 2: If you listened to last week's Super Bowl Extravaganza episode.
Speaker 1: I gave you a sm Morgsborg.
Speaker 2: Of bets, of plays that will win you money, and
Speaker 2: I was on a tear from the get. From the get,
Speaker 2: I gave you tails.
Speaker 1: I said it would be tails.
Speaker 2: I told you it was gonna be under on the
Speaker 2: national anthem. Okay, I told you the first play of
Speaker 2: the game was gonna be a running play. I told
Speaker 2: you Jalen Hurts was gonna run.
Speaker 1: For a first down.
Speaker 2: I gave you the Eagles plus one and a half.
Speaker 2: I even gave you your Gatorade color. There was so
Speaker 2: many bets that went.
Speaker 1: Jo's way.
Speaker 2: When do you start are following the lines I'm giving
Speaker 2: When do you start following? If you have not subscribed,
Speaker 2: if you have not been a follower of WTL, because
Speaker 2: when I pop on, yeah, I'm giving you winner. But
Speaker 2: these guys every single week are giving.
Speaker 1: You the goods.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, you've got to check it out. If
Speaker 2: you know, if you're in a sports game, here's the thing.
Speaker 2: If you're not a gambler, you're just a sports fan,
Speaker 2: You're gonna freaking love the show too, very upbeat, very
Speaker 2: fast paced, gets to the point and entertaining. It's not
Speaker 2: just about the plays. But holy cal did I deliver
Speaker 2: for the Super Bowl? You know, there's part of me
Speaker 2: that's like, you know, just move on. You got you
Speaker 2: put the winners out there, move on. The people who
Speaker 2: rolled with you great, and the people who don't maybe
Speaker 2: next time. And I say, no, this is the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: This was the conclusion of what was a fantastic football season.
Speaker 1: I'm going out.
Speaker 2: I'm going out a champion. I I don't know that
Speaker 2: I've ever been this close to a Super Bowl like I.
Speaker 2: I one hundred percent believe I deserve my own Lombardy
Speaker 2: or something.
Speaker 1: I need a ring.
Speaker 2: I certainly deserve something, right, Jotty, he's shaking his head. No,
Speaker 2: I yes. The Chargers did not win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: In fact, they didn't even make it to the Big Game.
Speaker 2: But your boy was a champion. It was all said
Speaker 2: and done, and that was pretty freaking cool. So You're welcome, everybody,
Speaker 2: You're welcome. So that was the big thing coming out
Speaker 2: of the Super Bowl. It was also a halftime show
Speaker 2: that some people are still talking about. Man Kendrick Lamar
Speaker 2: put on a hell of a show. Here's the thing,
Speaker 2: it's it is different and not because of the style
Speaker 2: of music. Okay, I throw that out the window. Throw
Speaker 2: out that it was rap hip hop? What however you classify?
Speaker 2: Throw that out. Ever since Apple has start producing the
Speaker 2: halftime show, it is now produced to be a television product.
Speaker 2: I mean, they make this for us at home, you know,
Speaker 2: watching for the one hundred and twenty six million or
Speaker 2: whatever that watched the game.
Speaker 1: I believe it was a record too. That's what the
Speaker 1: halftime show is now for.
Speaker 2: It used to be a big, extravagant halftime show being
Speaker 2: performed at the halftime in Super Bowl in a large stadium,
Speaker 2: a stadium show that was also being presented to one
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty million people. This is now a product
Speaker 2: for TV that just happens to be in the.
Speaker 1: Middle of the field at halftime of a stadium.
Speaker 2: I mean that's just how you kind of look at
Speaker 2: It's gonna be different, it's gonna look different, it's gonna
Speaker 2: feel different. That's okay, because you know, someday they'll probably
Speaker 2: be a different producer. It won't be Apple, and then
Speaker 2: who knows what it'll looks like. But right now we
Speaker 2: know what we're getting with Apple. They are reducing it
Speaker 2: as a television product and not necessarily a stadium show
Speaker 2: that they're also showing on TV.
Speaker 1: That's how I look at it.
Speaker 2: I go into it and I know I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: be disappointed because that's exactly what it is. But Kendrick Lamar,
Speaker 2: I'm not. It's not that I don't like his music.
Speaker 2: I enjoyed the show. I enjoyed his music. I didn't
Speaker 2: know any of the songs other than you know, the
Speaker 2: main disc track on Drake just because that's everywhere a minor.
Speaker 2: That shit's everywhere. So I knew about that, and I
Speaker 2: knew about the battle like that was how did you
Speaker 2: not know about that going into the super Bowl? But
Speaker 2: you know, to focus the entire show on that was
Speaker 2: quite the freaking statement. That was quite the statement. And
Speaker 2: I was saying after the game, I'm like, man, you
Speaker 2: know back when I you know, I hate to be
Speaker 2: the old guy, but this, you know what, this was
Speaker 2: the first halftime that I felt like the old guy
Speaker 2: in the room watching the game because my kids knew
Speaker 2: more about Kendrick and his music than I did. Normally,
Speaker 2: we get to halftime and I'm I go, oh yeah, Katy.
Speaker 1: Perrys blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: And I could tell you, you know, everything about the
Speaker 2: people like this. I knew Kendrick, but I didn't know
Speaker 2: any his music, and you know, and the kids are
Speaker 2: singing along. I had no idea. I was the old
Speaker 2: guy in the room. This lime, That's okay, we're all
Speaker 2: getting older. It was bound to happen someday. But I
Speaker 2: would say it after the game. I'm like, man, back
Speaker 2: in the day when there was a hip hop feud,
Speaker 2: you know, somebody died, and nowadays it's it's just dis
Speaker 2: tracks and a halftime show and then and then my
Speaker 2: wife says, no, this time, we just didn't see the body.
Speaker 2: And that's true. Drake's gotta be feeling it. I mean, Drake,
Speaker 2: Drake was put down. I mean, he's obviously gonna come
Speaker 2: back for this. I know, leading into the Super Bowl,
Speaker 2: he was live shows and he was wearing this jacket
Speaker 2: that had like bullet holes in it, with like the
Speaker 2: smoke you know, coming out of it.
Speaker 1: You know, basically, you didn't get me. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: still here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure you're here, but it's not gonna be the same,
Speaker 2: which is not when when Kendrick Can in one week
Speaker 2: received five Grammys for the disc track for The Killed
Speaker 2: Shot on Drake and then performed Super Bowl halftime in
Speaker 2: the entire show is essentially built around that, Oh my god,
Speaker 2: I mean what that's it, My man.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 2: We're actually we're lucky that we had my bets and
Speaker 2: the halftime show to talk about, because the game itself
Speaker 2: did not live up to the you know, the close
Speaker 2: battle I thought it would be anybody thought it would be.
Speaker 1: And everybody who was going chiefs, Holy cow boy, did
Speaker 1: they look bad? Huh? Was it that they looked bad?
Speaker 2: Or was it the Eagles were just that freaking like
Speaker 2: over the top.
Speaker 1: Better mean, it could go either way.
Speaker 2: I mean, Mahomes was fighting for his life out there,
Speaker 2: running around like crazy. Kelsey looked five years older.
Speaker 1: Than what he is. He just did you know.
Speaker 2: And after all, you know, all this week he's been
Speaker 2: going on his pod and he's talking about, you know,
Speaker 2: the year caught up to him. You know, the grind
Speaker 2: that every day, the twelve hours in the in the office, whatever,
Speaker 2: the grind of an NFL season caught out to him.
Speaker 1: And he's been playing more games than anybody, that's true.
Speaker 2: They make it deep into the playoffs, so they make
Speaker 2: it to the freaking Super Bowl every single year, and
Speaker 2: this was three straight years that they were competing for
Speaker 2: the championship. That's pretty freaking impressive. And yeah, it does
Speaker 2: catch up to you what Lebron play. There was that
Speaker 2: stretch where he was in the NBA finals like six
Speaker 2: or seven straight times or something like. It was something
Speaker 2: wild like that.
Speaker 1: That catches up to you.
Speaker 2: You play all those games, then you're playing in the Olympics,
Speaker 2: like you're do all these things. And then Kelsey he's
Speaker 2: playing all these football games and he's playing at a
Speaker 2: high level, and he's also flying all over the world
Speaker 2: because his girlfriend just happens to be the largest pop
Speaker 2: star ever. That, uh, that's gotta wear on you. And
Speaker 2: that's kind of where he's chocking it up now. He
Speaker 2: doesn't know if he's gonna play anymore. They don't retire, man,
Speaker 2: that's I bet there's if you played for the Kansas
Speaker 2: City Chiefs and you just went through that, I bet
Speaker 2: they're all deciding about retirement, possibly several my homes. That
Speaker 2: shit doesn't seem to bother him. He just takes the
Speaker 2: takes the head, puts the blame on his back, and
Speaker 2: just keeps moving forward.
Speaker 1: A pretty smart guy. So here we are. The game.
Speaker 1: It is what it is.
Speaker 2: The Eagles now they uh, they'll get to for at
Speaker 2: least a couple of months, you know, right around like Kings,
Speaker 2: that's the that's the thing. At some point, you still
Speaker 2: start to get excited for the next year. You start
Speaker 2: hitting training camp and it's like all right, you know,
Speaker 2: new year. And then you get Week one and you know,
Speaker 2: they get their big first home game to really celebrate,
Speaker 2: you know, this super Bowl win, and after that it's
Speaker 2: it's over, Like we're moving on. Aj Brown, he uh,
Speaker 2: the star receiver for the Eagles. He's already said he
Speaker 2: two days in, he gave himself two days to really
Speaker 2: soak in that he was a super Bowl champion. He
Speaker 2: thought all the work it took to get to that
Speaker 2: point was gonna feel like it was it was all
Speaker 2: we got the championship, everything, everything was worth it. And
Speaker 2: he goes, I felt like that for two days, and
Speaker 2: now I'm like, you know what, I kind of like
Speaker 2: the grind.
Speaker 1: I kind of liked the every day.
Speaker 2: You know, competing. So he's ready he's ready to go
Speaker 2: back and win another one. That's pretty cool. I think
Speaker 2: not everybody has that in him. Some people, once they
Speaker 2: get it, he starts slow down a little bit.
Speaker 1: It's like, all right, I did it. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of work to get at the top. I should know.
Speaker 2: I just won the Super Bowl this past season with
Speaker 2: all those bets. Oh man, I couldn't even tell you
Speaker 2: when the first well they could do the coin flip
Speaker 2: and it tails, and I'm like, this is gonna be
Speaker 2: my night.
Speaker 1: You know. I have a feeling not only are my
Speaker 1: bets just gonna roll, I got a feeling that cheese
Speaker 1: are gonna lose. Like I I was just feeling it. Johnny.

Speaker 2: the Friday Happy Hour. I don't know if you saw this.
Speaker 2: You know, we're we're fairly new into.
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: And we always get an update on the doomsday clock.
Speaker 2: So they there's this doomsday clock, and it determines kind
Speaker 2: of based on a lot of different factors. You know.
Speaker 1: It's kind of I don't know. It's kind of like My.
Speaker 2: My Bottom Five, you know podcasts where every week I
Speaker 2: give you the five worst teams in the NFL. Right,
Speaker 2: and it's not always about the standings, sometimes about vibes.
Speaker 2: It's just kind of the feel of things. It's kind
Speaker 2: of the doomsday clock does kind of gauges kind of
Speaker 2: where the world is with climate, with politics, with the economy,
Speaker 2: I mean, all kinds of factors. Right, we're getting close
Speaker 2: to midnight. When it gets to midnight, that's when they
Speaker 2: say it's gonna be the end of the world. So
Speaker 2: here's where we're at right now. Okay, we've got eighty
Speaker 2: nine seconds away from midnight. We are eighty nine seconds
Speaker 2: from hitting midnight on the doomsday clock. That's the closest
Speaker 2: it's ever been. So I was like, all right, eighty
Speaker 2: nine seconds not a lot of time, but we can
Speaker 2: make it worth it. We can what could we fill
Speaker 2: in eighty nine seconds in our last eighty nine seconds
Speaker 2: to make the end of the world worth it? You know,
Speaker 2: one last go? And I got to think it. I'm like,
Speaker 2: just I mean, there's all kinds of stupid shit around
Speaker 2: the house. I could do eight night second.
Speaker 1: Don't have a lot of time. It's I can go anywhere.
Speaker 1: So I googled. I do what anybody would do.
Speaker 2: I googled things to do in eighty nine seconds. So
Speaker 2: here's what they gave me. Here are things we could
Speaker 2: do in the final eighty nine seconds.
Speaker 1: Of the doomsday clock.
Speaker 2: This is when it hits midnight and then it's the
Speaker 2: end of the world. So here here's some things we
Speaker 2: could do. We could do a quick set of jumping jacks.
Speaker 2: So it's it's suggesting we could maybe get twenty to
Speaker 2: thirty reps in of jumping jacks.
Speaker 1: I guess it just depends on how efficient you are
Speaker 1: with the jack itself.
Speaker 2: But twenty to thirty reps of jumping jacks, I guess
Speaker 2: if you want to get the heart rate up, you
Speaker 2: can run in place at a fast pace.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we could do that.
Speaker 2: If you have a treadmill, might be good. You guys
Speaker 2: run around outside. I mean, what's the matter, right, it's
Speaker 2: in the world. You could do a short burst of
Speaker 2: push ups, and they're estimating around ten to fifteen reps
Speaker 2: in that eighty nine seconds.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do that. My son might. He has been known.
Speaker 2: To just start busting out push ups from time. Quickly
Speaker 2: clean up a small mess in your kitchen. I'll tell
Speaker 2: you right now, if we are eighty nine seconds away
Speaker 2: from the end of the world, that kitchen's gonna be dirty.
Speaker 1: That's matter of fact, we will absolutely not be cleaning
Speaker 1: up the best in the kitchen. You could send a
Speaker 1: quick text message.
Speaker 2: Well, I will say it takes me far less time
Speaker 2: to send a text message than eighty nine seconds, So
Speaker 2: I could send many text messages, or I could send
Speaker 2: one really long one and then give myself some time
Speaker 2: just to reread it a few times, just to make
Speaker 2: sure that you know everything's correct inside of it. I mean,
Speaker 2: that's not gonna just have errors. Animis my last tax answer?
Speaker 2: A short, simple question? Yeah, sure, I guess some idiots
Speaker 2: just run around asking questions in your final eighty nine
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know why that would be in there.
Speaker 2: Take a quick photo, Yeah, that's probably a lot of
Speaker 2: people probably doing that, right, taking like that one last
Speaker 2: selfie or just kind of I don't know what the
Speaker 2: end of the world would look like.
Speaker 1: With the sky still be the same. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Probably take some.
Speaker 2: Pick sel, start a small simple task like putting away laundry.
Speaker 2: Much like the kitchen, that laundry is gonna be laying
Speaker 2: wherever it is is not being put away. Here's the
Speaker 2: creative activities. You can complete eight in a second sketch
Speaker 2: a simple doodle.
Speaker 1: That would be fun.
Speaker 2: It would be my best art I've ever completed, because
Speaker 2: it's my last. Write a short high coup or a
Speaker 2: quick poem. I speaking of poems, I don't know if
Speaker 2: you listened to this week's Laugh with Me, but it
Speaker 2: was a Valentine's episode, Valentine's Happy, Valentine's.
Speaker 1: Everybody maybe Valentine's episode.
Speaker 2: I had Eric Larson on a special guest, and you
Speaker 2: know we read We read four original poems.
Speaker 1: I don't want to see. I don't want to spoil
Speaker 1: what they're about, but they're prett damn good.
Speaker 2: Start brainstorming ideas for a project. Well at late for that,
Speaker 2: we got eight eight seconds hum a short tune.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, now it's like.
Speaker 2: What songs would I want to quickly get my last
Speaker 2: Like listening on you wouldn't able to hear the whole
Speaker 2: song what can I I was listening to I mean
Speaker 2: I even listened to this song and probably twenty years
Speaker 2: tribute by Tenacious Tea. I was listening to that. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna drive home from work today just randomly, which is like, yeah, tribute,
Speaker 2: it's funny.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's really good. It holds up.
Speaker 2: I will have to put that in my spring playlist.
Speaker 2: You could take a few deep breaths and focus on
Speaker 2: your breathing. Yeah, I'll probably bringing pretty heavily, knowing on
Speaker 2: the end of the world's cod do a quick meditation session.
Speaker 2: That's something that I think probably a lot of people
Speaker 2: will do, just try to get their mind right and
Speaker 2: hope that they go peacefully into the end of the world.
Speaker 2: Practice a short mindfulness exercise that's not gonna happen. You
Speaker 2: could quickly check the weather forecasts, browse a few headlines
Speaker 2: on a news app. Well, there'll be plenty of that.
Speaker 2: You know, there's gonna be journalists just dedicated to the
Speaker 2: grind up to the last second, putting out info as
Speaker 2: it's all going down. You could shark a start a
Speaker 2: start a short video on a topic of interest.
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. I think I take.
Speaker 2: Pictures absolutely, but to capture a video of the final
Speaker 2: eighty nine Here's what I'm worried about at the end
Speaker 2: of the world. Right. But then eventually, this, this footage
Speaker 2: is gonna be found somewhere by somebody some day at
Speaker 2: some point, and they're gonna look back and be like,
Speaker 2: this is what the end of the world looked like
Speaker 2: at this you know, time.
Speaker 1: Period, and they're gonna have a time capsule of it.
Speaker 2: Right, They're gonna have this video found in the clouds somewhere, right,
Speaker 2: and then we're like, this is it. This is what
Speaker 2: this person did. It's gonna be something lame like jumping jacks.
Speaker 2: This person did twenty to thirty jumping Jackson his final
Speaker 2: eighty nine seconds, and they're gonna go that's how lame
Speaker 2: life was.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Well, hopefully we can do some things to kind of
Speaker 2: work that clock back and gain some time back on
Speaker 2: the doomsday clock. Well, Happy Friday, everybody, enjoy your weekend.
Speaker 2: We'll be back next week brand new episodes from last
Speaker 2: week
