Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News Hie.
Speaker 2: Welcome to a special edition of The Deal Our Super
Speaker 2: Bowl Thoughts. Alex Rodriguez, my co host, myself Jason Kelly
Speaker 2: joining you, breaking down the big game from you know,
Speaker 2: what I would like to think is our unique perspective.
Speaker 1: Alex. First of all, how are you doing?
Speaker 3: I'm doing great? You know, super Bowl Monday. This is
Speaker 3: one of my favorite days of the year because it
Speaker 3: reminds me, Jason in my career that baseball's right around
Speaker 3: the corner. Yes, the Monday after the Super Bowl is
Speaker 3: Baseball's almost here, Springs almost here, warm weather, all of it.
Speaker 1: That's great. That's a good point.
Speaker 2: That's a good point because, like I have to say,
Speaker 2: Super Bowl Monday, I feel the same way. But I
Speaker 2: also feel like, ah, football is over. You know, I
Speaker 2: love watching football, you and I love talking about it,
Speaker 2: So let's talk about it. I mean, this game. I
Speaker 2: don't think anybody on this Super Bowl Monday is like,
Speaker 2: hey everyone, great game, unless you're a Philadelphia Eagles fan.
Speaker 1: What did you think of it?
Speaker 3: Well? I just think that I can relate big time
Speaker 3: with the Kansas City Chiefs. You know, Pat Mahomes obviously,
Speaker 3: I've known him since he was a child because I
Speaker 3: played with his father, Pat Mahomes Senior. But you know,
Speaker 3: you either love the Chiefs or you hate the Chiefs,
Speaker 3: and I think the chatter and at least in my opinion,
Speaker 3: going in, I don't think people gave the Eagles enough
Speaker 3: credit on how great they are from top or the
Speaker 3: organization to bottom. It was an absolute masterclass from ownership
Speaker 3: to GM to head coach, defensive coordinator, you name it.
Speaker 3: They won every category by a landslide.
Speaker 2: All right, So there's a lot to unpact there, and
Speaker 2: I want to unpack it with you. The first is
Speaker 2: you touched on it, and I'm going to take it
Speaker 2: a step further. I think the Kansas City Chiefs this
Speaker 2: season essentially became the villain of the NFL.
Speaker 1: Would you agree?
Speaker 2: And I dare say, like, you know a little bit
Speaker 2: of what that's like playing for the TV you played for?
Speaker 1: How do you read that? Why was that well?
Speaker 3: I mean, look, when you're that good, I think there's
Speaker 3: some fatigue, right, there's some jealousy for sure. I mean
Speaker 3: fan bases that haven't been I mean, think about if
Speaker 3: you're the Bills, right and you're a fan base and
Speaker 3: you see the Chiefs just winning and winning and winning,
Speaker 3: and they have now glamour and they have you know,
Speaker 3: the great Taylor Swift, and they have Hall of Famers
Speaker 3: all over the place, and you know, the red. It
Speaker 3: gets a little bright for people. And I think that's
Speaker 3: what you saw.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And the other funny thing is like the Eagles are
Speaker 2: a team that I don't know people love to hate
Speaker 2: because you know, Philadelphia fans, again, this is something you
Speaker 2: know as well as anyone, are like no other. They
Speaker 2: have a ferocity all their own. And yet it did
Speaker 2: feel like the stadium, at least watching it on TV,
Speaker 2: it felt like the stadium was very pro Eagles. I
Speaker 2: mean like it wasn't quite a home game, but like
Speaker 2: it definitely felt like it was with them sort of
Speaker 2: with them in the room.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: I want to I want to lean on your expertise
Speaker 2: here in two different ways, and I want you to
Speaker 2: put yourself in the mindset of each of these quarterbacks.
Speaker 2: Pat Mahomes, you said you noted you've known him since
Speaker 2: he was a child, you played with his dad. The
Speaker 2: pressure going into that game, what does that feel like?
Speaker 2: What do you think was sort of going through his
Speaker 2: head leading up to it and then as it is
Speaker 2: like clearly coming apart.
Speaker 3: Well, I think if you're Patrick Mahomes, you want to
Speaker 3: eliminate the white noise because there's a lot of it.
Speaker 3: Two weeks is a long time. It's a long time
Speaker 3: between games. I think Patrick Mahomes knew how good the
Speaker 3: Eagles were a little bit disconnect from I would say
Speaker 3: the general fan base, and I feel that. You know,
Speaker 3: he said after the game yesterday that the agony of
Speaker 3: defeat hurts more than the glory of winning, or something
Speaker 3: like that. I'm paraphrasing, obviously, but for me, there was
Speaker 3: a lot of pressure on Patrick Mahomes and it's almost
Speaker 3: a no win situation. Yes, you get the three pet
Speaker 3: but man, you show up to the dance often enough,
Speaker 3: it's just a matter of time.
Speaker 1: So you get whacked.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and last night they got whacked. So I dare
Speaker 2: say you felt that feeling. What does it feel like?
Speaker 2: How do you process that when the expectations are so
Speaker 2: high and you don't meet them.
Speaker 3: I think, Look, it's hard enough to repeat. I mean,
Speaker 3: the numbers will tell you it's almost impossible not to
Speaker 3: do a three P. That's almost really impossible, especially in
Speaker 3: such a competitive league. Look, the Eagles had it all working,
Speaker 3: and if you look at the numbers and you look
Speaker 3: inside the data, the Eagles were a better team all
Speaker 3: year long. Yeah, from training camp to last night. And
Speaker 3: I think the Chiefs are looking at you know, we're
Speaker 3: one point favorite when and a half point, and they're like,
Speaker 3: I'm not sure about that. We might be the dogs here.
Speaker 3: But I think for a guy like Patrick Mahomes, I'm
Speaker 3: really looking forward to see how he comes back. But
Speaker 3: the daunting task of having to do that back to
Speaker 3: back to back, I think it was too much against
Speaker 3: a team like the Eagles.
Speaker 1: So what's your advice to him?
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think he needs advice, but I think
Speaker 3: knowing Patrick the way I do, I think he's going
Speaker 3: to get back to the drawing board and I think
Speaker 3: they have some more to do. Again, there is not
Speaker 3: my circle of confidence, but it seems like they're going
Speaker 3: to probably strengthen their line a little bit. It seems
Speaker 3: like they're going to go out and get, you know,
Speaker 3: beef up that roster a little bit and put their
Speaker 3: necessary pieces for Patrick Mahomes to get back to the
Speaker 3: Super Bowl and win it and look just like the
Speaker 3: Eagles did a couple of years ago. They came back
Speaker 3: stronger than ever. Yeah, I think the Chiefs will be back.
Speaker 3: I can almost guarantee that.
Speaker 2: All Right, I'm going to move to the Eagles in
Speaker 2: a second, but I'm going to push you on this
Speaker 2: because I feel like, as your friend and your partner,
Speaker 2: it is it's like I understand what you're saying about
Speaker 2: the football, but as an athlete, like you have insights
Speaker 2: into this that almost no one does.
Speaker 1: Like, how do you get your head right after you
Speaker 1: lose like that?
Speaker 3: Well, I think here's the deal. When we lost in
Speaker 3: two thousand and four to the Red Sox after being
Speaker 3: up three zero, I think that's a whole different way.
Speaker 3: Not all losses are created equal. I think it's actually
Speaker 3: easier to get over last night because that was that
Speaker 3: was a whacking, right, I mean they got destroyed in
Speaker 3: every they really did. I mean it was over from
Speaker 3: the get go, and then you see the interceptions and
Speaker 3: then you see another one, and I'm sure for Patrick
Speaker 3: he felt quite embarrassed and some shame. I know that's
Speaker 3: how I felt. You almost don't want to come out
Speaker 3: of your house for a month or two. But I
Speaker 3: think there's going to build him up. I think he's
Speaker 3: crushed right now. I think he's a little bit in disbelief.
Speaker 3: He played his worst game of the year, the biggest.
Speaker 3: That's something that you can never say about Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 3: So I think he's I know that after two thousand
Speaker 3: and four, I was destroyed and it took a lot
Speaker 3: out of me. And I came back in OH five
Speaker 3: and came back stronger than ever. I won an MVP,
Speaker 3: and then of course in two thousand and nine we
Speaker 3: won the world title. So I can see Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 3: coming back stronger. But it's going to take a minute
Speaker 3: to get over this loss. This one hurts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, So let's shift to Jalen hurts because
Speaker 2: he comes into this game with like a head full
Speaker 2: of bulletin board material, right, I mean, he played out
Speaker 2: of his mind two years ago, I mean literally the
Speaker 2: best game of his life and the team comes up short.
Speaker 2: How does he in your mind? How did he go
Speaker 2: into the game yesterday? And what does that feel like
Speaker 2: from your perspective? And maybe it's O five, maybe it's
Speaker 2: O nine for you. How does it feel like when
Speaker 2: you're like, Okay, I put in the work and now
Speaker 2: I see the fruits of that labor.
Speaker 3: Much easier than Patrick Mahomes because here's a guy who
Speaker 3: played really, really well yeah and couldn't close. But that's
Speaker 3: easier from a psychological point of view because you can say, Okay,
Speaker 3: I showed up in the biggest game. Great confidence. I
Speaker 3: just need my boys to follow. Yeah. But it was
Speaker 3: interesting after he lost that game a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3: I think he said we'll be back, and he was
Speaker 3: very resolute and very confident that they were going to
Speaker 3: come back, and this time they're going to be ready.
Speaker 3: And I think he's been prepping for last night the
Speaker 3: Super Bowl for the last two years. Yeah, and it helps.
Speaker 3: It helps, like a tidal wave of confidence when you
Speaker 3: play well at the highest level and your teammates come
Speaker 3: up a little short, then the other way around.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, that's really interesting.
Speaker 3: By the way, let me just say this the comp
Speaker 3: and baseball. This is something I do know about. Is
Speaker 3: Aaron Judge. Yeah, Like when Aaron Judge loses against the
Speaker 3: Dodgers and he makes that you know, the mistake where
Speaker 3: he drops the simple flyball and fans are getting on him,
Speaker 3: I think that's a double avalanche to overcome. He played poorly,
Speaker 3: and the Yankees got embarrassed. For a guy like Aaron
Speaker 3: Judge is a double whammy that's much harder than the
Speaker 3: battle we're talking about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, So you alluded to something really important,
Speaker 2: which is what happens with the Eagles over the intervening
Speaker 2: two years between that loss, and it happens very quickly.
Speaker 2: And what's interesting is from an ownership perspective, these are
Speaker 2: ownership groups that you and I know more than enough
Speaker 2: to be dangerous about. I dare say both very resolute.
Speaker 2: In the case of the Eagles, Jeffrey Loriie I did
Speaker 2: a documentary about him a couple of years ago. He's
Speaker 2: a very different sort of owner, very understated, as you know,
Speaker 2: really is involved and also really trusts people.
Speaker 1: His relationship with Howie.
Speaker 2: Roseman is probably one of the lesser known but arguably
Speaker 2: most important storylines here because what they do over two
Speaker 2: years is they draft incredibly well and they really identify
Speaker 2: what the missing pieces are. When I think about the
Speaker 2: business lessons from what the Eagles have done, that's what
Speaker 2: strikes me is that, like they really figured out what
Speaker 2: they needed and they went and got it. Because this
Speaker 2: was an entirely different team especially on the defensive side
Speaker 2: than we saw two years ago. And that's just again
Speaker 2: we see all these lessons between sports and sort of
Speaker 2: business more broadly. That to me is like a management
Speaker 2: to use your word, a management masterclass.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jason. And the thing is, by the way, I
Speaker 3: love that piece you did with them a few years
Speaker 3: ago because I learned a lot about them. Jeffy Lourie.
Speaker 3: I'm talking about the owner of the Philadelphia Eagles. The
Speaker 3: adjustment they made was not that rare if you're talking
Speaker 3: about five twenty years. What makes it rare is it
Speaker 3: did it inside of two years? Yeah, And that is
Speaker 3: a testament to jeff Louriy the owner. Now when you
Speaker 3: think about their ownership group, you said it they draft, well,
Speaker 3: they do one, free agency, They develop their players and
Speaker 3: their alignment from top to bottom. Jeffrey Loriiy the owner,
Speaker 3: he is the epitome of what VCP stands for, Big vision,
Speaker 3: clear vision. He deploys tons of capital to go get
Speaker 3: his players like Barkley, and then you go out and
Speaker 3: get the best people in the world. And that just
Speaker 3: doesn't mean on the field, but it also means this
Speaker 3: general manager, his coach, his devisit coordinator, the head of business,
Speaker 3: chief revenue officer. Jeff Lori is a masterclass on how
Speaker 3: to run an organization and he deserves a lot of flowers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and did it, you know, very quietly.
Speaker 2: I mean again, in a city that you and I
Speaker 2: both know does not hold back, and yet he is,
Speaker 2: you know, he is revered. And listen, he has brought
Speaker 2: this city two titles. It's first two NFL titles. It's
Speaker 2: first two NFL championships, you know, over his ownership in
Speaker 2: the last ten years.
Speaker 1: He's owned it for longer, but those have come there
Speaker 1: with by the.
Speaker 2: Way, two different coaches, two different quarterbacks, obviously a whole
Speaker 2: different you know, roster of players and coaches underneath that.
Speaker 2: But the one, you know, the one consistency there other
Speaker 2: than Jeffrey Lorie.
Speaker 1: Is Harry Roseman.
Speaker 2: So we got to get one of those guys on
Speaker 2: this pod, by the way, we do.
Speaker 3: And Jason, I want to just kind of double tap
Speaker 3: on what you just mentioned, because you know, as an
Speaker 3: owner or an organization, sometimes you have easier markets to
Speaker 3: be able to navigate, you know, adjustments. But in a
Speaker 3: city that you have more white noise, arguably with that
Speaker 3: fan base and the radio and the media than any
Speaker 3: other franchise, you know, probably only second to New York
Speaker 3: or one two, one A, one B. And to do
Speaker 3: it in such a stealth matter, in such a noisy place,
Speaker 3: which arguably you're talking about some of the most smartest,
Speaker 3: most passionate fans and sports the Philadelphia where there's a Phillies.
Speaker 3: The Eagles are the Sixers. They bring it every day,
Speaker 3: and they expect you as a player, you as a
Speaker 3: general manager, and you as an owner to bring it
Speaker 3: twenty four to seven.
Speaker 2: Let's go back to the game for a second, because
Speaker 2: it was on your home network. As happy as the
Speaker 2: Eagles were, I'm going to go out on not much
Speaker 2: of a limb and say your friends at Fox were
Speaker 2: not pleased at how lopsided that game was.
Speaker 1: I have not seen the final ratings.
Speaker 2: I have to think I've seen anecdotally that yourship dropped
Speaker 2: off pretty dramatically after halftime because the game felt over,
Speaker 2: and it turns out it definitely was over. If you're
Speaker 2: sitting at Fox right now, like, are you just thinking
Speaker 2: bad luck? You know, it's obviously outside of their control,
Speaker 2: but like, what are they feeling right now?
Speaker 3: You know from the Murdocks to Eric Shanks, they're just great,
Speaker 3: great people to work with. It's amazing. This is an
Speaker 3: organization that they're not married to ratings. They control what
Speaker 3: they can control. What it is anti climatic, right, I mean,
Speaker 3: they've been planning for two years and this is the baby.
Speaker 3: This is what they pay all those billions of dollars for.
Speaker 3: And here's what I think Eric Shank would say, I'm
Speaker 3: happy with all the control controllables. Yeah, we had a
Speaker 3: good telecast, we put on a good show, we had
Speaker 3: good numbers, and then the game fell off. And that's
Speaker 3: not on us. But that's not just unique to Fox.
Speaker 3: It was CBS, NBC, ABC, Disney, whatever. Everybody would be
Speaker 3: disappointed with a game that's you know a little bit
Speaker 3: out of reach past the middle of the second quarter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure. All right, So let's go to
Speaker 1: the booths, Alex.
Speaker 2: These are your guys. Kevin Burkhardt, who is your other partner.
Speaker 2: I'm very jealous of him, and obviously Tom Brady you're
Speaker 2: a good friend. They're in the booth calling the game.
Speaker 2: What's your obviously biased perspective on them?
Speaker 3: Well, again, disclaimer, I love him both. They're both very
Speaker 3: good friends. I think Kevin Burkhardt is one of the
Speaker 3: most underrated to this day still even after doing a
Speaker 3: couple of Super Bowls, one of the most underrated, understung
Speaker 3: superstars out there. He does not only a great job
Speaker 3: for football and he kind of drives the bus for
Speaker 3: Tom Brady. He does a great job with the Fox
Speaker 3: World Series crew with Derek Jeter, myself, Dontre Willis, and
Speaker 3: Big Poppy. And if Tom Brady was a stock, I
Speaker 3: would buy as much as I can afford, I would
Speaker 3: buy all of it. And the reason why I say that,
Speaker 3: I think he got so much better from week one
Speaker 3: to week call it twenty one last night, right to
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl. I just think his work ethic is,
Speaker 3: you know, second to none, and if you study his resume,
Speaker 3: he's a guy that just you know, he knows a
Speaker 3: sending better than anyone. And I think that in three
Speaker 3: or four years he's gonna be one of the top guys,
Speaker 3: if not the top guy in the game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I will say it was fun to watch him.
Speaker 2: I mean, there were so many undercurrents, especially because it
Speaker 2: wasn't that long ago that he was playing.
Speaker 1: Obviously, it was only a couple of years there's all
Speaker 1: this goat debate.
Speaker 2: You know, this certainly was coming into it with Mahomes
Speaker 2: and Mahomes. Had they won last night, the Chiefs and
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes would have done something that Brady had not
Speaker 2: done in terms of winning three in a round. I mean,
Speaker 2: nobody has done it in the Super Bowl era. So
Speaker 2: it was interesting to watch that. I mean it was
Speaker 2: also interesting and again I don't know playing sports at
Speaker 2: the level you or Tom Brady do certainly, but you
Speaker 2: know this notion of you know, sort of Brady watching
Speaker 2: all of this unfold, it must have been kididly like
Speaker 2: challenging for him to just even process what he was
Speaker 2: seeing because he must know, again more than anyone. How
Speaker 2: that felt for Patrick Mahomes to have that sort of
Speaker 2: performance and just be overwhelmed by a defense. I mean,
Speaker 2: in some ways it happened to Tom a couple times,
Speaker 2: you know, because he was seven and three in his
Speaker 2: ten Super.
Speaker 1: Bowls, so he didn't win everyone. But it's fascinating to
Speaker 1: have him calling that game of any game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a few things there. There's a lot to unpack there, Jason.
Speaker 3: So number one, you and I about a month month
Speaker 3: and a half ago, did a pod here on the deal,
Speaker 3: and I felt the same way probably Tom felt about
Speaker 3: watching the great Patrick Mahomes. I felt the same way
Speaker 3: watching Juan Sooa go through these negotiations. Yeah, because around
Speaker 3: twenty four years ago, I was in that same spot
Speaker 3: and that was kind of a weird unique That's why
Speaker 3: I'm so glad we jumped in the pod. That's one too.
Speaker 3: It's really hard to judge or praise both Tom Brady
Speaker 3: and Kevin Burkhart in a game that's that wide open
Speaker 3: because it really goes from first half is a super
Speaker 3: Bowl to second half is talk radio. Yeah, and there's
Speaker 3: no big watershed moments like I like to appraise announcers
Speaker 3: in the seventh, eighth, and ninth and in and for
Speaker 3: football down the stretch because I want Tom to tell
Speaker 3: me should they do a three step drop or a
Speaker 3: seventh step drop? Should they be doing a screen or
Speaker 3: running here? And that only happens when you have all
Speaker 3: the money on the table. So last night it's almost
Speaker 3: like a pass, don't you don't know? You almost throw
Speaker 3: out the report card. Really, yeah, because at this point
Speaker 3: you're just trying to entertain and have a little fun,
Speaker 3: which is very, very challenging and I've been in that position.
Speaker 3: But you know, him talking about Patrick Mahomes I thought
Speaker 3: was a great subplot. I think, you know, how does
Speaker 3: he react if he's going to do the three p
Speaker 3: The fact that he had access to production meetings this week,
Speaker 3: I thought that's an interesting step because it's been talked
Speaker 3: about that Tom Brady doesn't have access to production meetings
Speaker 3: because of his ownership with the Raiders. And again, who
Speaker 3: better if the game is a blowout? Who better to
Speaker 3: talk about coming back in that stadium than Tom Brady?
Speaker 2: I will say as an Atlanta Falcons fan, it was
Speaker 2: excruciating to think about. The biggest comparison, of course, had
Speaker 2: they come back, would have been twenty eight to three.
Speaker 2: Of course, like the worst will right right, like everybody
Speaker 2: except New England Hatriots fans.
Speaker 3: But by the way, Jason, but you said something earlier
Speaker 3: about the fans were a little bit louder for the
Speaker 3: Eagles in Kansas City. You know, you remember in the
Speaker 3: mid nineties to late nineties, the Brace fans sometimes wouldn't
Speaker 3: sell out for the playoff games. Yeah, and because they
Speaker 3: went every year, it was like unless it's the World
Speaker 3: Series or bust, and I'm not going to get stimulated
Speaker 3: over first or second round. Yeah, the Yankees went through
Speaker 3: a little bit of a lull where they were very
Speaker 3: spoils from winning, right. I think there's maybe a little
Speaker 3: bit of the thatd with the Chiefs, where the Eagles
Speaker 3: are like this kind of they're both blue collars, but
Speaker 3: like we haven't won, we need to beat them. And
Speaker 3: you felt a little bit more energy at least early
Speaker 3: in the game before it was a blowout.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, I want to wrap up by talking
Speaker 2: a little bit about the ads. I got to tell
Speaker 2: you I was a little bit underwhelmed. I feel like
Speaker 2: we need a little more creativity. I will say one
Speaker 2: theme that definitely joked out to me is a theme
Speaker 2: that we've been talking about a lot on our podcast,
Speaker 2: which is women's sports. And you know, clearly I thought
Speaker 2: two of the most compelling ads were the Nike ad
Speaker 2: your friends at Nike creating just a super powerful ad
Speaker 2: with an unbelievable number of powerful female athletes. It's led
Speaker 2: by Caitlin Carr, Chikari Richardson, Sabrina I and Scu and
Speaker 2: a number of others. That is one that if people
Speaker 2: haven't watched, they should go back just for the artistry,
Speaker 2: the message, the music, all.
Speaker 1: Of it, and then the other.
Speaker 2: And I feel like this is something we're probably going
Speaker 2: to be dealing with and wanting to deal with on
Speaker 2: the show.
Speaker 1: Is flag football and everything that's happening there.
Speaker 2: The NFL is clearly pushing that from a business perspective.
Speaker 1: They know that there's.
Speaker 2: An audience for it and a way to grow the
Speaker 2: audience for the NFL by getting more young women to
Speaker 2: play football.
Speaker 1: What did you think?
Speaker 3: I love that. I love what Roger Goodell is doing
Speaker 3: with trying to grow football, you know, and he's going
Speaker 3: two places that are evident. One is youth sports and
Speaker 3: youth trying to you know, take market share from baseball,
Speaker 3: soccer and other sports by flag football. I think that's brilliant.
Speaker 3: I think the more you can introduce young ladies to
Speaker 3: the game the better. That's one. And two obviously the
Speaker 3: global reach right where they have big ambitions to grow
Speaker 3: the game and play all these global games, even with
Speaker 3: more repetition. A couple of the ones that I liked
Speaker 3: was Tom Brady and Snoop, you know, Fighting Hate. I
Speaker 3: think that's a Robert Kraft production. Yes, he's deployed tons
Speaker 3: of capital and resources to help fight hate. And also
Speaker 3: it was nice to Snoop and Tom Brady. Neither one
Speaker 3: got paid for that ad, which you know, props to them.
Speaker 3: But my favorite was Nike. I think they had a
Speaker 3: maybe a twenty plus year hiatus. I know it's been
Speaker 3: a while, and to come back in the way they did,
Speaker 3: I think was beautifully done, in a step in the
Speaker 3: right direction because their stock has really struggled here in
Speaker 3: the last five years.
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure. Yeah, interesting, interesting turning point.
Speaker 2: We may see they got a new CEO, and you
Speaker 2: know that's something I'm guessing we're going to be talking
Speaker 2: about on future episodes. All right, So, speaking of which,
Speaker 2: we're moving on to baseball man, like it's all happening.
Speaker 2: You know, We've got a lot coming up on this show,
Speaker 2: so we'll wrap for now. But I really love being
Speaker 2: able to chop it up with you right after a
Speaker 2: big event like this. It was fun to watch it
Speaker 2: knowing it felt like homework in a good way.
Speaker 1: Like I was taking a little.
Speaker 2: On my phone as I was watching gous, like I
Speaker 2: gotta ask Alex about this, and I want to take
Speaker 2: on these things. So appreciate you for hopping on and
Speaker 2: I'm sure I'll be seeing you soon.
Speaker 3: You got it all right, look forward to it all right.
