Not gonna lie there was 26 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: no football on, well, unless you consider whatever the Pro 27 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: Bowl was. I'd be lying if I said I watched 28 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:01,559 Speaker 1: any But it's it's a weird feeling and we only 29 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: got one game left. Obviously it's the biggest game you 30 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: can have, so we will dive into a little Chiefs 31 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: forty nine ers and the Super Bowl is in Vegas, 32 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: so that is something that would have been unheard of 33 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: to say five ten years ago, let alone in the 34 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: history of the NFL. But now, not only do they 35 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,519 Speaker 1: have an NFL team, I think you will see when 36 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: this week is all said and done, that this is 37 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl mix now with the Scottsdales, the 38 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 1: miamis the New Orleans and I would imagine La as well. 39 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: But kind of crazy, man, I didn't love Sunday with 40 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 1: no football on in the background. I'd be lying. If 41 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: I found an enjoyable chill day, I would have liked 42 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 1: some tackle football, but that's you know, once you get 43 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: into after the super Bowl, we don't have a game 44 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: for a long long time to August.

What I do? 47 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: We got the combine, then we got free agency, then 48 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: we got the draft, then we got OTAs. We ain't stopping, 49 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: We're just we're actually gonna put the pedals of the metal. 50 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 1: But we gotta enjoy this week.

Where do we start? The 88 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: coolest part about super Bowls or championships. I'm a golf guy. 89 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: Majors is how winning one of those, or once you 90 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: win one and then you start winning more, how you 91 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: start heading into this world that we really can't quantify. 92 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: It's what makes sports kind of so special. Right we 93 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: argue if we like sports till we die about who 94 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: was the better player, who was the better coach? This 95 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: guy won three championships, well this guy won six, Well 96 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: this guy only won one, or this guy never won one. 97 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: And that's never the category you want to be in. Right. 98 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: You play, you coach to ultimately get to the mountaintop, 99 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: and the mountaintop in the sport of football is winning 100 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: the Super And listen, as someone who's owes a lot 101 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: of my career success for just being able to say 102 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: that I worked for Andy Reid. He was incredible to 103 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 1: me when I work for him, and he's cool now 104 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: to me and my mother, who has become a diehard 105 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: Chiefs fan. Listen, he's an easy guy to root for, 106 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: and in a weird way, I grew up a forty 107 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: nine er fan. I was rooting for him in twenty 108 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 1: twenty because of how hard he worked, of how close 109 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: he had become or how close he had gotten before, 110 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: and just kind of the narrative surrounding his career. And obviously, 111 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: once he won that in pretty dramatic fashion, the floodgates 112 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 1: is open, and now we all kind of universally talk 113 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: about like Andy Reid's the best coach in the sport. 114 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: He's won another one. He went to another one and lost, 115 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: so it's just he's rattling off all these victories. He's 116 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: back again. Like there's not really much argument with Andy 117 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: Reid right now, Right's just how many is he going 118 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: to win? He's really trying to chase him and mahomes 119 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:01,239 Speaker 1: now too, Like obviously ideally he'd love to catch Belichi Brady, 120 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: but it's just this imaginable or unimaginable destination that we 121 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: love bullshitting about because they've already won enough to be 122 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: all time greats, right John Elway, who when I was 123 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: growing up was considered easily before Peyton and Brady right 124 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: like in the in the late nineties, before those guys 125 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: really hit the scene as arguably the second best quarterback. 126 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: Dude has two championships and once he won those like 127 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: in his late thirties, like l Way validated it right 128 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: behind Montana. Mom's already has the twenty eight years old. 129 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: So I mean, I think if we were a betman, 130 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: even if he didn't win this one coming up on Sunday, 131 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: he's probably gonna win another one in his career as 132 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: long as Andy Reid stays around for a little bit, 133 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: so that they're just chasing this, Like what seat do 134 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: I get when I go to football Heaven one day? 135 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: As John Madden says he likes to think at when 136 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: he's asleep at night, he dreams about when the Hall 137 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: of Fame doors close, all the different you know heads 138 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame talk to each other and 139 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: bullshit about football and probably argue about football. I was 140 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: better than you, I won more than you, but we 141 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: all do because that's what human beings ultimately resort back to, 142 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: and to me, the Chiefs are chasing something that you 143 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: can't quantify, right, and it's to enter this territory, dynasty territory, 144 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: all time great team territory and just led by this 145 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: all time great championship corps territory, which is their coach, 146 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: their quarterback, their tight end in their pass rusher, who 147 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: would have all these super Bowls, all these accolades and 148 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: would just go down the rest of my life as 149 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 1: just being talked about one of the greatest NFL operations 150 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: we've ever seen. You know, I think Kyle Shanahan is 151 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: in a completely different category clearly, and he kind of 152 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: has what Andy had when he was in Philadelphia, Like, 153 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: is this guy ever gonna do it? Like it's not 154 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: even arguable anymore that Kyle Shanahan's a really good coach. 155 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 1: We all like it's pretty clear he has what eight 156 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: play victories in since twenty twenty, Right, think about this, 157 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy, who's sixty years old and now, had Aaron 158 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: Rodgers been in Dallas forever or at least, you know, 159 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: making the playoffs the last three years, has eleven. Kyle's 160 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: already got eight. So like we don't even question, like 161 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: we know he can get number one seeds. We know 162 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 1: he can win the division, we know he can win 163 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,079 Speaker 1: playoff games. It's just gonna come down to can the 164 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: guy win the Super Bowl? Can Kyle Shanahan, who in 165 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: a weird way represents like what Mahomes and Andy do 166 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: together with the Chiefs, Like when you close your eyes 167 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: and you think the Cancie Chiefs, Now you kind of 168 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: think Taylor Swift too, but you definitely think Andy Reid 169 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: the coach and Mahomes the power duo that's unstoppable. Right 170 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: now when you think the forty nine ers like Kyle 171 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 1: Shanahan in a weird way as kind of their poster 172 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: child despite happened. All these players, right McCaffrey, Bosa, Trent Williams, 173 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: George Kittle, like their coach is like a star, like 174 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: a player, especially when you talk about the offense, like 175 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: he's the brains behind the whole entire operation. He can 176 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: use anyone at quarterback? Can he get you over the hump? 177 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,839 Speaker 1: And in a weird way. And I've always pushed back 178 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,079 Speaker 1: about this, like everyone's like, well, he blew the Super Bowl. 179 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: He wasn't the head coach, he was the coordinator. No 180 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: one has ever been absolved from a disastrous loss like 181 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: dan Quinn. When you bring up twenty eight to three, 182 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,719 Speaker 1: no one ever utters the two words dan Quinn. He 183 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: never comes up. It's like Matt Ryan. It's usually all 184 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan. If you're gonna talk anything about the Atlanta Falcons, 185 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: like Kyle Shanahan screwed up. No coach has ever just 186 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: absolved from the results like dan Quinn. Somehow has avoided that. 187 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: But it's just a reality of the situation that Kyle 188 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: Shanahan got that l pinned on him. He'd be like, well, 189 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: it's his fall. He should have ran the ball, Like 190 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: his job's to score points. The head coach at any 191 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: moment can tell you to do whatever he wants to do. 192 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: He is the boss. So I think this is a 193 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: massive game for Kyle. I think he has the most 194 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: on the line, right because old if Andy and Mahomes 195 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: win this, like what does that actually mean? Like they're 196 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: champions again? Like it's it. Like I said, it's very 197 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: very hard to quantify this world they're going into, whether 198 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,959 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan had won another one or it only won five, 199 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: like he was already in this world of just just 200 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,839 Speaker 1: fucking all time greatness. I think in a weird way, 201 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: Mahomes and Andy and Kelsey like they're already kind of there. 202 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: They're beating the shit out of everybody constantly. Now, obviously 203 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: having more super Bowls never hurts, but like, like, unless 204 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: you're gonna tell me they're gonna get to five or six, 205 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 1: whether you get to three or four, Like what are 206 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: we really talking about to me? Kyle has the most 207 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: on the line this of coming Sunday because if he 208 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 1: wins it, like I see it with John Harbaugh in 209 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy and Mike Tomlin and now Sean McVay, is 210 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: gonna have this for a long time. You can always 211 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 1: have the trump card of like ah, Tomlin just I 212 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: ain't get it done anymore. It's like, yeah, I'm a champion. 213 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: I got a super Bowl ring. Like everyone loves to 214 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: call Mike McCarthy the village idiot, Like look at him 215 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: in Dallas. He just can't figure it out. Got his 216 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,839 Speaker 1: ass kicked in the first round. He's like, remember when 217 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: I won super Bowl twenty ten? Do you guys remember 218 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: that I beat the Pittsburgh Steelers. I went on the 219 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: road and I won all those games with a roster 220 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: that was really injured. I'm a super Bowl champion. You 221 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: guys want to see my ring, I can show it 222 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: to you. I actually don't have it with you, but 223 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: I got about fifty pictures on my phone. And when 224 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: you have that, people can talk about you, because that's 225 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: society we live in, and people can try to, you know, 226 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: diminish your accomplishments or say how much you're currently struggling, 227 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: and honestly, some of it's fair, but no one can 228 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 1: ever take away the championship from you. And Sean McVay, 229 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 1: a guy that wanted a couple of years ago, like 230 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: whether he ever wins one again or not, he's got 231 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: that one and that changes your life. And this is 232 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: not basketball. When you have a great team, you're guaranteed 233 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: to like get to the finals three or four times, 234 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: probably win a couple. Football's really really hard. Think how 235 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 1: hard it was for the Chiefs this year. So I 236 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 1: think the pressure on the forty nine ers and Kyle 237 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: is just imments. And I think when you think about 238 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: this matchup, going back to when they played in the 239 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: Super Bowl in when it was that February of twenty twenty, 240 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,559 Speaker 1: it's kind of the opposite of what it was then 241 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 1: at the time, Mahomes was like one of the greatest 242 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: offensive tornadoes we've ever seen. It's like, what is going 243 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: on in Kansas City. This is just an unstoppable force 244 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: him Kelsey Tyreek Andy. It was bombs away. They could 245 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: score at will on anyone. But it's like either defense 246 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: kind of sucks. Their defense just isn't that good. The 247 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: forty nine ers were the opposite. It was like, yeah, 248 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo's kind of a game manager. They don't really 249 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: have receivers. They got this young guy Deebo Samuel Kittle, 250 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: solid bunch of random running backs. But yeah, I mean 251 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 1: it's defensive led team, awesome defensive line, this ascending young 252 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: linebacker and Fred Warner. Drake Greenlaw had just made one 253 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: of the biggest plays in forty nine history. People might 254 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: not remember, but the week it was at the time, 255 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: week seventeen. The Niners had to win to win the 256 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: division and get the number one seed. The last game 257 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: of the season on the road in Seattle, and Drake 258 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 1: Greenlaw made a tackle that if he doesn't right it 259 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: like the half inch line that ended the game. And 260 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: if he doesn't make that tackle and Seattle gets an 261 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: extra inch and scores, the forty nine Ers would have 262 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: been a wild card in Seattle. I don't think they 263 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: would have been the number one seed. They might have 264 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: been like the number two or three seed, but the 265 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: Niners would have lost the division. So Greenlaw was like 266 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: this rookie player, but it was clear they had something there, 267 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: and Richard Truman at the time wasn't all prone that 268 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: they were a defensive team. It's kind of the opposite 269 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: this year with these two teams, Like when you think 270 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers of old, Yeah, their defense has 271 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: been really good in a dominant force and helped them 272 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: win a lot of playoff games. We've all seen this 273 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: team the last couple of weeks. Their defense has been 274 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: an abomination. Their defensive coordinator and John Lynch both had 275 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: talk about how effort what we just witnessed last week, 276 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: and they're kind of talking about Chase Young is not 277 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: allowed here because effort for the first time in a 278 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: long time was being called into question with the forty 279 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: nine ers defense, like, guys aren't even playing hard, and 280 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: they have looked like a show of themselves in these 281 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: two playoff games. They were the number three scoring offense 282 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: in the NFL this year, they're almost ever twenty nine 283 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: points a game. They were an unreal offensive unit start 284 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: to finish this season. The Chiefs, while known for offense, 285 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: actually have the second rated scoring defense this season. And 286 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: when you watch them like they're a gritty, tough, physical group. 287 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: One thing I always admired about some of those earlier 288 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: Niner teams with like solid Tamiko, is all their dbs tackled. 289 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: So obviously your front four is always a physical unit. 290 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: And then you've got good linebackers, your front seven is 291 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: gonna be tough. TV's can be hit or miss, right, 292 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: some coroners don't like to tackle. You watch the Chiefs 293 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: all their DB's tackle. They're willing physical defenders, and that 294 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: is not that Usually the best defenses have that, and 295 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: they do like their offense. Let's face it led the 296 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: league in drops. Just when you watch them struggle to 297 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: score points. I mean, how many games this season were 298 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: they struggling to get above twenty points and in their 299 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: heyday they closed their eyes and got to twenty eight. 300 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: That's not the case here now. The one difference with them, 301 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: and this is why we talk about the greatness with 302 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: the franchise, is like well, the playoffs can come. What happens, well, 303 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: Valdas Scantley starts catching balls, Travis Kelce, who started looking 304 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: like he was slipping during the season, starts looking like 305 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame version that we came to know 306 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: and love in years past. And obviously, you know Mahomes 307 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: in any moment can just dominate a game. But the 308 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: one thing historically with Andy Reid, he's always been known 309 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: as a guy that wants to pass. He's not a 310 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: big runner of the football. Not that he doesn't have 311 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: good running backs, because historically he has had great running backs, 312 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: but he likes throwing them the ball. He's a big 313 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: screen game guy. He's not someone who's gonna have twenty 314 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 1: five to thirty carries a game for his running back. 315 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 1: That's changed, especially down the stretch. I think Isaiah Pataiko 316 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 1: two of his last three games he's over twenty four carries. 317 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 1: I think in the playoffs he's averaging almost twenty two 318 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: carries a game. So they are a willing running team. 319 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: Why they kind of have to be. He's probably right 320 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: there with Kelsey is like one of their best offensive players. 321 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: And the one thing you look at the forty nine 322 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: ers you go, well, the defensive you know, run defense 323 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: that you guys have shown the last couple weeks has 324 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 1: been a fucking disaster. So I would imagine Andy is 325 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 1: gonna run the ball, which is something you would have 326 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: said years ago, like Ius bombs away. Well, that's not 327 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 1: really how he has to play right now. So that's 328 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: a huge matchup that we're gonna see how it plays out. 329 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: Because the forty nine ers, when they're humming, they score 330 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: a lot of points. It's why I think when if 331 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: you're gonna look at MVP odds, obviously you can never 332 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: go wrong betting the two quarterbacks whoever you think is 333 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: gonna win. Just bet Purdy or Mahomes. I do think 334 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel is a pretty big wild guard. He has 335 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: historically been one of the bright lights guys for the 336 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: forty nine ers. When he plays well, they are a very, 337 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: very tough team to beat. You saw last week he 338 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: flipped a switch and he kept him in the game. 339 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 1: The other thing with him is like he could have 340 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 1: a game where he gets five catches for eighty yards 341 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: in a touchdown. He could have four carries bust one 342 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: for fifty yards in a touchdown. He could just have 343 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 1: one of his long touchdowns could come maybe in a 344 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: seventeen seventeen game going into the fourth quarter. To me, 345 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: he looking at the board, he might be the best 346 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 1: value non quarterback. He's who I would go with if 347 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 1: you wanted somewhat a quote unquote flyer. The only chief 348 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,439 Speaker 1: that I thought. Now, he's a long long shot, and 349 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: it's not very often that a defensive lineman wins this. 350 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 1: The Niner center in guard combination is not great. So 351 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: if they get into a position where they're down like 352 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,679 Speaker 1: thirteen to three, and they get into more of a 353 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: pass heavy situation, it's not inconceivable that you see, like 354 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,159 Speaker 1: could Chris Jones have three sacks and maybe one of 355 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 1: the sack is like a fumble touchdown. I was at 356 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl when it was Von Miller and Malik 357 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: Jackson and DeMarcus Waer and Derek Wolf and that defensive line, 358 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: and they dominated that Carolina Panther team and Von Miller 359 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 1: ended up being the Super Bowl MVP. So one of 360 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: the big themes this week is it's this is an 361 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: awesome Chiefs defense against an awesome forty nine er offense, 362 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: where when you look back at the previous Super Bowl, 363 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: it was the opposite. It was one of the great 364 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: offenses we've ever seen against a defense, especially their front four, 365 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 1: which was dominant, and even the rest. I mean, Fred 366 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: Warner wasn't quite established as an elite guy yet, but 367 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: he was pretty damn good. And they had Richard Sherman 368 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:44,919 Speaker 1: at corner who was an All Pro that year. So 369 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be something to be said all week. 370 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: I would expect both these two teams, this is not 371 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 1: a big fuck around operation either squad. I know him 372 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: closely pretty well, so I would expect there's not a 373 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 1: lot of back and forth going on this. This is 374 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: going to be a pretty serious week for everyone involved. 375 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 1: And like I said, I just think there's more on 376 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: the line given that, like can this franchise actually win 377 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl with kind of this nucleus with the 378 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: forty nine ers, thinking about things changing over time. I remember, 379 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 1: probably three or four years ago, watching this documentary on 380 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 1: Tony Hawk and I might have had an edible or two, 381 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: and I remember watching it thinking like, it's pretty crazy 382 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: that whatever your parents or that generation when you're a 383 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: kid kind of look down upon or tell you not 384 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 1: to do that is very popular. Usually becomes it becomes 385 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: very popular in terms of universally accepted, and the corporations 386 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: get involved in future years because things change. And I 387 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: remember Tony Hawk talking about there was no money in skateboarding. 388 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: It was frowned upon. Everyone thought you were a punk. 389 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 1: And then like ten, fifteen, twenty years later, the X 390 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 1: games happened, the video game happened, and it was monetizable 391 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 1: and there was a lot of money behind it. And 392 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 1: I think about with myself that like when I was 393 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: a kid, my parents used to get so mad about 394 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: playing video games. And obviously video games were nowhere near 395 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: as good as they were now, like in the mid 396 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: to late nineties, but they started getting pretty good, you know, 397 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 1: PlayStation Sega, and my parents used to always take my 398 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 1: video games away when I would get in trouble or 399 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 1: i'd get bad grades and tell you you get dumber 400 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: read a book. And then now it's like you can 401 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: make millions of dollars playing video games. So like whatever, 402 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: if you're a parent right now and you're getting mad 403 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 1: at your seven eight year old for doing something that 404 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: is probably gonna be worth whting, now, I wouldn't spend 405 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,479 Speaker 1: all put all your eggs in one basket trying to 406 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: master that craft. But like in fifteen, twenty years, ten years, 407 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: like that's gonna be viewed dramatically different. And Vegas is 408 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: a good example of a place like when you look 409 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 1: at like the seventies and eighties, I do understand the 410 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: NFL not wanting to be in business with gambling slash Vegas. 411 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: It was a mob run operation. Now some of their 412 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 1: owners not only had mob ties, mob money bought their teams. 413 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna list them right now with Raiders forty 414 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: nine ers. But the reality is is like it wasn't 415 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: federally illegal. I've said this forever about marijuana. It's like, 416 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: do you think the owners actually cared about their players 417 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 1: getting high getting stoned? How many owners do you think 418 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: smoke wheed now take edibles? Probably a decent high percentage. 419 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 1: The thing had to do with insurance. It wasn't federally illegal. 420 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: It's still not. It's why you see guys like you 421 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: open up your phone, You're like, oh, Darius Rucker got 422 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: in trouble. It's like, well, yeah, you had marijuana in 423 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: the car. It's like, what are we doing some of 424 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: these states, if you get a if you get in 425 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 1: trouble for having a joint in your car in twenty 426 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: twenty four. I fucking can't take you, seriously, I really can't, 427 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 1: But like, think about that. When I was a kid, 428 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: you wanted to get a dimebag, you had to meet 429 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: someone in the back of McDonald's or burger King in 430 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: the in pitch black and turn your lights off to 431 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 1: make quick transaction. Now you got an app. You press 432 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: a button, it shows up to your house and you 433 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: hand them your credit card. And I think Vegas is 434 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: a great example. Like Vegas seventies eighties, more of a 435 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: negative connotation around it. Now it's run by Fortune five 436 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 1: hundred companies. It's corporate gambling a little like weed. More 437 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: state legal, but eventually it's gonna be federally legal. Sports 438 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 1: gambling that is in the NFL completely pivoted immediately, because 439 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 1: I don't actually think that story about Tony Romo not 440 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 1: being able to do the fantasy football do. I think 441 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: the NFL really cared that much. I just don't think 442 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: they just had a zero tolerance policy. Now they have 443 00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: a one tolerance policy in Vegas, like the Raiders moving there, 444 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: change that franchise right. Oakland lost three teams in five 445 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: years and in twenty twenty four, it'd be the last 446 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 1: place any of the major leagues would ever put a team, 447 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: and Vegas would easily be one of the first. It's 448 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: why I would imagine over the next decade, they have 449 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 1: a football team, they have a hockey team, they will 450 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 1: have an NBA team, and they're going to have a 451 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 1: baseball team, as they should. Right. So you look at Vegas, 452 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 1: it's corporate run. So what is the NFL in bed 453 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: with corporations? That's what this week is all about. I've 454 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: got to go to a super Bowl. That super Bowl 455 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: that was at Levi Stadium. It's just a corporate environment. 456 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: If you're a fan of a team you are bet 457 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: and it's in the playoffs, even if it's on the road, 458 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: you're better off going to one of the playoff games 459 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: than the super Bowl, just in terms of the environment 460 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: and obviously the price point because like the Super Bowl's weird. 461 00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: You get a lot of people that the NFL is 462 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 1: in business with a lot of different people, right, counting 463 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: firms of alcohol, companies, gambling company, you name it. I 464 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:11,199 Speaker 1: mean every different category in capitalism, like they try to 465 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: be in business with and that's what this week is 466 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: about taking care of those people. So the amount of 467 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: actual fans for the team is a tiny, tiny percentage. 468 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: I mean. One of the reasons that the Super Bowl 469 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: tickets right now are so expensive is because I'm pretty 470 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: sure that Vegas, this stadium might be the smallest in 471 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: the National Football League. So the inventory just in general 472 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 1: is really low. There aren't that many tickets available, and 473 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: most of them go out to the corporations. The reason 474 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,400 Speaker 1: I went to the Super Bowl whatever in twenty sixteen 475 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: was because I went with a corporate account. It's not 476 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: like I had access to the tickets. And listen, this 477 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 1: Vegas thing, this is a city that's going to be 478 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: on a constant loop. The Super Bowl is about one 479 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 1: big party. You could argue that they should cut it 480 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,199 Speaker 1: to like now. One thing the league tries to do 481 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: is when you build a new stadium, they give you 482 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Right Dallas got a new stadium, got 483 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Minnesota got a new stadium, they got 484 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Atlanta got a new stadium, they got 485 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: the super Bowl. Now you can put Atlanta on the rotation. 486 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: I'm not the biggest Atlanta guy. Personally, I think I 487 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 1: would just go La Vegas, Scottsdale, New Orleans, Miami. If 488 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: you just told me that was the Super Bowl Loop, 489 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone would complain, And you could say 490 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:40,479 Speaker 1: historically that's kind of where, especially in Scottsdale, New Orleans 491 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: and Miami have always been in the super Bowl Loop. 492 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: I do think Vegas is gonna enter the chat on 493 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: that one, because this week I'm going Wednesday, Thursday, and 494 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 1: Friday is going to be a fascinating case study because 495 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 1: there aren't really rules in Vegas, just like there aren't 496 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: really rules in New Orleans. There aren't really rules in Miami. 497 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: This is a week long party, and you need a 498 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: place that where nothing closes and anything goes and is 499 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 1: a fun place for all these people that live, you know, 500 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 1: in Wisconsin or Seattle or New York to kind of 501 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,400 Speaker 1: get away. And I think Vegas it is a hit. 502 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,360 Speaker 1: I've been going to Vegas for twenty plus years. I 503 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: love to gamble. I've been gambling pretty consistently since I 504 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: was probably fifteen sixteen years old, sneaking into Cash Creek 505 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: Indian casino about forty five minutes away from where I 506 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: grew up. It's my biggest pushback with a lot of people. 507 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,160 Speaker 1: As gambling has become legal in this world of kind 508 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: of you know, all these sports media people you know, 509 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: pushes like you wouldn't gamble five dollars if your life 510 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 1: depended on it. Most of the sports media is like 511 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,679 Speaker 1: scare of their own shadow. It's like, it's why I 512 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 1: think the people that actually gamble it really resonates because 513 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 1: it's something I do, Like, it's one of my lone hobbies. 514 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: I like to bet on sports. I just lost a 515 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: couple hundred dollars playing golf yesterday. Just guess my juices form. 516 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 1: It's my competitive it's a lot of people's competitive. I 517 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 1: used to like like playing blackjack a lot, don't play 518 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: that as much, but I definitely sports gambling is something 519 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 1: that I do at high rates. And you know from 520 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 1: once football ends all in on golf and I gamble 521 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,919 Speaker 1: on golf on a weekly basis. And Vegas just the 522 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: other thing is Vegas gets this knock I think for 523 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 1: a lot of people that don't go that often for 524 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,479 Speaker 1: being kind of this like dirty scummy place you ever 525 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 1: gone to Vegas? Like the high end restaurants they have, 526 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: they literally have something for everyone. If you don't like 527 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: to gamble you can shop, you can eat. The spas 528 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: are incredible. I mean I literally just go to gamble 529 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: eat and stay at a nice hotel that has a 530 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,479 Speaker 1: nice gym and spa where I can work out and 531 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: take saunas and steam rooms. I mean that's kind of 532 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 1: the road. I could stay there forever because I like 533 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 1: how cold the casinos are. Don't even need to go outside. 534 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 1: So I'm really excited and I think this thing is 535 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 1: going to be a massive, massive hit and get ready 536 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: for this is to come back on loop. And like 537 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: I said with the Tony Hawk thing, things go in cycles. 538 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: Whatever is viewed upon as very negative the moment, you 539 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 1: can monetize it. In the moment, it's pretty clear, like 540 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: there's a lot of money behind this. That's how America works, 541 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 1: and we triple down on that thing. That's what happened 542 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: with Vegas. It's why I'm a big Like I'm not 543 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 1: just saying this because they're partners of us, Like I 544 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: own a lot of draftking stock, and part of it 545 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: is like I believe in the company. I've been using 546 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: them now for a couple of years in terms of 547 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: their app I also think one major difference moving forward 548 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: in these gambling companies like Forever, MGM or whoever. Before 549 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: sports gambling was legal. It's not like I could place 550 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: a bet five, eight, ten years ago. Think about the 551 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 1: added revenue to be able to gamble from the majority 552 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 1: of states in America right before, like I had to 553 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 1: go to Vegas to place a bet on the Super 554 00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: Bowl if I did not have a booky or whatever. 555 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: That's been a game changer. And I'm just a big 556 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: believer in the company who's taking all the market share 557 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: and bleeding out, you know, the other companies, because not 558 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: only were they a first adopter, I just think they're better. 559 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 1: And yeah, so we'll podcasts all week long, very very excited, 560 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: and super Bowl Week's here. Baby. The volume
