Speaker 2: Welcome in Episode one twenty four, hosted by a man
Speaker 2: who might be the happiest person in the world to
Speaker 2: have not won fifty thousand dollars. That's just a small
Speaker 2: footnote in my weekend. Yeah, you know what, the Niners
Speaker 2: couldn't come through, But you know who did come through.
Speaker 2: You know who always comes through. Patrick Bleeping Mahomes Burrowhead Stadium,
Speaker 2: big dogs of the AFC, Give me a break, the
Speaker 2: Mayor of Cincinnati getting in on the trash talk that
Speaker 2: cornball get out of here. So much to do, so
Speaker 2: much to discuss. We appreciate if you're watching live on YouTube.
Speaker 2: Put your questions for comments. In speaking of YouTube, we
Speaker 2: are less than two thousand subscribers away from getting to
Speaker 2: the one hundred thousand we've been striving for. We had
Speaker 2: a deadline of January one. We then extended the deadline
Speaker 2: until the Chiefs played their last game, which luckily we
Speaker 2: all knew was going to be the Super Bowl. So
Speaker 2: we need about seventeen hundred subscribers sween now and then
Speaker 2: you also subscribe to just the audio version on Apple
Speaker 2: or Spotify or wherever. All right, let's get right into it.
Speaker 2: What missed the cut? Let's see what is not On
Speaker 2: today's show. Novak Djokovic wins is twin second Grand Slam,
Speaker 2: his tenth Australian Open. He's now ten and zero in
Speaker 2: Australian Open finals. Shout out to him. Tony Romo just
Speaker 2: can't help himself with making the NBA references. Here's what
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you. I thought the Drexler Jordan reference
Speaker 2: was quite apropos. Clyde Drexler and made a finals before
Speaker 2: and lost. People were saying, could he be the second
Speaker 2: best shooting Garden or the best shooting Garden basketball? Not Jordan?
Speaker 2: If he wins this does he have Brian rights over Jordan?
Speaker 2: And then Jordan crushed him in those finals. I actually
Speaker 2: thought the Jordan Drexler mahomes Borough thing was pretty damn good.
Speaker 2: I thought I heard Bill Simmons this morning take big
Speaker 2: issue with it. I didn't take issue with it. And
Speaker 2: the Empire State Building gets roasted on Twitter because people
Speaker 2: on Twitter just can't handle anything that nuanced whatsoever. It's like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, everyone in New York, all Giants fans
Speaker 2: hate the Eagles. They're doing Eagles colors. They put on
Speaker 2: their damn schedule that they because they light up the
Speaker 2: top of the Empire State Building to celebrate things they
Speaker 2: were gonna do whichever team won the NFC and then
Speaker 2: whichever team won the AFC, and the Eagles got it done.
Speaker 2: But we will talk about the Eagles and the Niners
Speaker 2: and me not hitting that fifty dollars future later. Demonse,
Speaker 2: good to see you, Demanse. Want some money yesterday? Yeah,
Speaker 2: now listen, it's not money that's gonna you know, go
Speaker 2: get them ten shares of Berkshire Hathaway stock. However, it's
Speaker 2: better than a loss. Let's get right to it. Go
Speaker 2: right ahead.
Speaker 3: Wins will win. Yeah, all right, your Chiefs are back
Speaker 3: in the Super Bowl. A little bit of helps from
Speaker 3: the refs.
Speaker 2: Okay, you know what, before you even get to the question,
Speaker 2: start the clock, put the rundown on the side. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna get right to it. Everybody, shut your damn mouth
Speaker 2: about the refs. Okay, let's go through the critical calls
Speaker 2: from this game. First, the Bengals are absolutely flailing about.
Speaker 2: Burrow has thrown a pick. He then there's less than
Speaker 2: two minutes left. He had thrown a pick on the
Speaker 2: previous drive. He throws another pick. They're down ten, and
Speaker 2: what happens, a late flag comes in, calls past interference
Speaker 2: because he got there a split second early. Bengals keep
Speaker 2: the ball. The Bengals end up getting three points. It's
Speaker 2: a critical moment in the game if they're if they're
Speaker 2: fixing it for Kansas City. You don't think that they
Speaker 2: throw that flag. Now, let's go to later in the game,
Speaker 2: or it might have been before that. I'm not sure.
Speaker 2: The Chiefs score a touchdown and it comes off the
Speaker 2: board because of a holding penalty that they did not
Speaker 2: have to call. It was on the inside on a
Speaker 2: run play. It was not like one of those holding
Speaker 2: penalties where you get a guy around the throat and
Speaker 2: everybody sees and he throws his arms up. Now listen,
Speaker 2: both of those were fine calls. My point is the
Speaker 2: idea that every call when the Chiefs favor is nonsense.
Speaker 2: Now the do over on third and nine. I would
Speaker 2: be apoplectic if the Chiefs had gotten the first down
Speaker 2: and then they're like, no, we have to do it
Speaker 2: over with that said two points on that, the first one,
Speaker 2: the Chiefs would have been punting from the forty. They
Speaker 2: ended up punting from the forty. So yeah, cost the
Speaker 2: Bengals about thirty seconds, but that thirty seconds ultimately would
Speaker 2: have helped the Chiefs, not the Bengals, and it had
Speaker 2: no impact on the game none. And we did see
Speaker 2: that the ref from up top came running in because
Speaker 2: nobody could hear it, So could they have let it go? Sure,
Speaker 2: but give give me a break. And now all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, people going zapruder on the Mahomes run like, oh,
Speaker 2: there might have been holding. If we are not going
Speaker 2: to rehash non holding calls and the end of every
Speaker 2: football game, give me a break, take your referee complaints
Speaker 2: and shove it and the did a Oh well, what
Speaker 2: about the personal faulty end? What about it? That was
Speaker 2: his that has been called all year for multiple years.
Speaker 2: You can dislike the rule, you can say it's bad luck,
Speaker 2: all those things. But one other part of that, okay,
Speaker 2: one other part of that that's very important. If he
Speaker 2: doesn't get shoved out of bounds, they have eight seconds
Speaker 2: left in the clock is stopped. They are on the
Speaker 2: forty two.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: If you think Mahomes is not finding a way to
Speaker 2: get six to ten yards on that next play, and
Speaker 2: it's going to be a bucker fifty yard er, you're
Speaker 2: out of your mind. He's out of your mind. He's
Speaker 2: going to make the play. So enough with the referee complaints,
Speaker 2: Cincinnati go ahead, and now you can get you the question.
Speaker 3: All right, given him and his team being played with
Speaker 3: injuries and the competition, do you think this is Patrick Mahomes'
Speaker 3: best game yet?
Speaker 2: Okay? So this is some prisoner of the moment stuff
Speaker 2: people are going to do today. So I just want
Speaker 2: to remind people of what Patrick Mahomes has done in
Speaker 2: the playoffs at this point in his career. Because you
Speaker 2: want to call it his best game. Here are the
Speaker 2: other contenders AFC Championship game against the Patriots his first
Speaker 2: year as a starter, three fourth quarter comebacks, twenty four
Speaker 2: to fourth quarter points, including getting the ball with thirty
Speaker 2: seconds left down three and getting them in field goal range.
Speaker 2: By the way, Patrick Mahomes three times in his playoff
Speaker 2: career has gotten the ball with less than a minute left,
Speaker 2: thirty seconds against the Patriots, thirteen seconds against the Bills,
Speaker 2: and forty seconds last night, and three times has driven
Speaker 2: his team for the tying or winning points. Every other
Speaker 2: quarterback in league history, none of them have done it
Speaker 2: more than once. Mahomes has done it three times. So
Speaker 2: that's but that the game against the Patriots they lost.
Speaker 2: Didn't get the coin flip they lost, so take that off.
Speaker 2: The next football game he played was against the Houston Texans.
Speaker 2: They were down twenty four to nothing in the second quarter.
Speaker 2: They ended up scoring fifty one points and he threw
Speaker 2: five touchdowns. That's a pretty good one. I'm gonna say
Speaker 2: that's on the short list, by the way.
Speaker 3: Versus the Texans, and probably not as banged up as
Speaker 3: they were yesterday.
Speaker 2: Correct the Bills game last year, throws for three to
Speaker 2: twenty five runs. For another I think sixty four total touchdowns, executes,
Speaker 2: a game tying drive with thirteen seconds left, and a
Speaker 2: game winning drive in overtime. That one's pretty good. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: And by the way, I short changed him. He threw
Speaker 2: for three to eighty in that game and ran for
Speaker 2: seventy four touchdowns. He also had obviously a five touchdown,
Speaker 2: four hundred yard game against the Steelers, but nobody cares
Speaker 2: even though that's the playoffs. I think the Bills game
Speaker 2: was more. Was he played better. I think yesterday's game
Speaker 2: was the most impressive for Patrick Mahomes. It's not just
Speaker 2: his injury, okay, it's the fact that at the end
Speaker 2: of the game, Demanse Juju's out, Hardinman's out, Tony's out.
Speaker 2: On defense, by the way, the number one corner Lagerius
Speaker 2: sneeds out. Basically the entire game, Mahomes converted a key
Speaker 2: first down to Marcus Kemp. Marcus Kemp Demanse has been
Speaker 2: in the league for four or five years. He has
Speaker 2: four catches and twenty four tackles. Because he's a special teamer,
Speaker 2: and that's who Mahomes is throwing to yesterday. I give
Speaker 2: credit Mark Wesvoldez Scantling stepped up. Travis Kelcey did Travis
Speaker 2: Kelsey things, but they had If you take out the
Speaker 2: Mahomes runs, they ran the ball seventeen times for thirty
Speaker 2: four terrible yards. They couldn't run. The receivers are out.
Speaker 2: Mahomes had a chance to fold when the ball slips
Speaker 2: out of his hands, and Patrick Mahomes came through again.
Speaker 2: Now with that said, he's not the only guy who
Speaker 2: came through. I tweeted about this. I'm gonna point this
Speaker 2: out again here. The Chiefs had four first team All pros.
Speaker 2: Let's see what they did yesterday. Patrick Mahomes was one
Speaker 2: of them. He was utterly brilliant on one leg. Travis
Speaker 2: Kelcey was another. He was double team to the entire game.
Speaker 2: Still found a way to score the opening touchdown. Have
Speaker 2: seven catches seventy five yards. He by the way, now,
Speaker 2: all time playoff catches, Kelsey is in second to Jerry Rice.
Speaker 2: Touchdowns Kelsey is in second to Jerry Rice. Yards Kelsey
Speaker 2: is in second to Jerry Rice. He is the second
Speaker 2: greatest playoff receiving threat of all time bar none. That's
Speaker 2: your second first team All Pro Travis Kelcey. The third
Speaker 2: was Chris Jones, who got the ball back for the
Speaker 2: Chiefs with that third down sack of Joe Burrow after
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you there was a moment I had
Speaker 2: some trepidation in that game, the third and sixteen conversion,
Speaker 2: the third and sixteen conversion, I was like, you got
Speaker 2: you can't you can't recover from something like that. And
Speaker 2: Chris Jones on the very next set of downs ends
Speaker 2: the drive with a sack. Mahomes then gets the ball,
Speaker 2: and the last First team All Pro on the team
Speaker 2: is the punter, who, by the way, had a brilliant game,
Speaker 2: and that coffin corner pump with two and a half
Speaker 2: minutes left set everything in motion. And you can say
Speaker 2: it's silly to be focused on that, let me tell
Speaker 2: you this much think that Bengals punter wants the line
Speaker 2: drive down the middle of the field back that he
Speaker 2: kicked the sky moore with forty seconds left. So all
Speaker 2: of the Chiefs' best players stepped up. Frank Clark was excellent,
Speaker 2: the young corners were good enough right and Chiefs she
Speaker 2: and Brett Beach pachecko seventh round pick. How many big
Speaker 2: catches and runs did he have? Watson's seventh round pick
Speaker 2: another interception, Sky Moore rookie, the big punt return, Carl
Speaker 2: Loftis rookie, Sack McDuffie, rookie kept you know, did his best.
Speaker 2: If you would on Chasin Higgins, It's an unbelievable game,
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 3: Next, so you are admitting that there were some doubts
Speaker 3: along the way.
Speaker 2: The third and when they converted the third and sixteen,
Speaker 2: it was a emotionally devastating moment, is what I'll call it.
Speaker 3: All right. So Burrow obviously had many chances that his
Speaker 3: fourth straight three point win over Mahomes. With Mahomes finally
Speaker 3: beating Burrow, it's officially a rivalry. I doubt this will
Speaker 3: be the last time these two square off in a
Speaker 3: championship game. Do you think Mahomes and Burrough is the
Speaker 3: next Manning or Brady situation? Or is it too early
Speaker 3: to tell?
Speaker 2: Here's my problem with these Manning Brady comes Who's who?
Speaker 2: So with Manning Brady, this was what I tried to
Speaker 2: point out with the Josh Allen Mahomes thing. With Manning Brady,
Speaker 2: Manning at all the stats Brady does, all.
Speaker 3: The winning Mahomes w is have to be Brady, But
Speaker 3: he's not quite yet, Brady, because.
Speaker 2: But Mahomes is also manning. He has way better stats
Speaker 2: than Burrough. Mahomes one is about to win the second MVP,
Speaker 2: Borrel's never won one. Mahomes is going to his third
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. Burrow's been to one like there, So right now,
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes is both guys. That's the problem, the problem
Speaker 2: with any of these comps. Here's what I'll say. Ever,
Speaker 2: everybody was convinced Mahomes Allen, We're gonna get it for
Speaker 2: years and years and years. Now everybody's gonna be convinced Mahomes, Burrow,
Speaker 2: we're gonna get it for years and years and years.
Speaker 2: But the Prince is coming. Don't get it twisted there.
Speaker 2: At one point, justin Herbert is not gonna have the
Speaker 2: worst injury luck in a bad coaching situation. The consistent
Speaker 2: part of this will be Mahomes. Those other guys are
Speaker 2: gonna be fighting each other and yeah, sure. And here's
Speaker 2: the other thing, man, The Bengals got a real tough
Speaker 2: call this offseason. Are they gonna run it back one
Speaker 2: more year and then lose T Higgins for basically nothing?
Speaker 2: Or are they gonna trade T Higgins this offseason? Similar
Speaker 2: to what the Chiefs did with Tyreek Hill. It's a
Speaker 2: tough pill to swallow, but you gotta pay Burrow this offseason.
Speaker 2: You're paying Chase next offseason. There's no way you can
Speaker 2: pay Higgins as well. So the Bengals and the Bengals
Speaker 2: offensive line will be healthier. I understand all that, But
Speaker 2: this idea that they're just gonna be in it every year,
Speaker 2: that's not how this works. The Chiefs and the Patriots,
Speaker 2: each of them have at least one of them has
Speaker 2: been in the last twelve AFC Championship games. Twelve AFC
Speaker 2: Championship games where the Chiefs Patriots have been in it. Okay,
Speaker 2: why am I bringing that up? Because they have played
Speaker 2: in those twelve games the following teams, the raven the Broncos,
Speaker 2: the Colts, the Steelers, the Jaguars, the Titans, the Bills,
Speaker 2: the Bengals. So the Patriots dynasty, the Chiefs dynasty, which
Speaker 2: will be a dynasty here shortly. That's twelve times half
Speaker 2: of the bracket and one of them, both of it
Speaker 2: has been one of those teams in those twelve games
Speaker 2: they have played again, Ravens, Broncos, Colts, Steelers, Jags, Titans, Bills, Bengals.
Speaker 2: That's eight. So the other the rest of the AFC,
Speaker 2: half of them have made it at least once hard
Speaker 2: to make this game a bunch of times. Credit to
Speaker 2: the Bengals for making it a couple of times. The
Speaker 2: Broncos during the Manning era made it a couple of times.
Speaker 2: The Ravens made it a couple of times. Hard to
Speaker 2: make this game a bunch So this idea that we're
Speaker 2: just gonna get Burrow Mahomes maybe or maybe next year
Speaker 2: in the first round, Tyler Huntley doesn't fumble the ball
Speaker 2: and the Bengals go out in round one maybe hard
Speaker 2: to get there. You got to take advantage of your opportunities.
Speaker 2: And here's what I know about rivalries. Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2: The Bengals have won three that they had won three.
Speaker 2: I'm very happy for them. One mattered. One game mattered,
Speaker 2: and it was the one in the AFC Championship Game
Speaker 2: last year. But Patrick Mahomes now has played five years
Speaker 2: in this league. He has made the Super Bowl in
Speaker 2: three of those five and the two years he didn't,
Speaker 2: he lost in overtime of the conference championship game. One
Speaker 2: of those years while never touching the ball. So history
Speaker 2: says you want to beat Patrick Mahomes. You can hope
Speaker 2: he has his once every five years meltdown like he
Speaker 2: did last year, or have Tom Brady. Other than that
Speaker 2: he's winning next.
Speaker 3: All right, So we got the poll. It's is Mahomes
Speaker 3: brow the next man Manning Brady? Fifty say yes, forty
Speaker 3: seven percent say no.
Speaker 2: Okay, let me ask one other question real quick before
Speaker 2: we move on. So I did the quarterback rankings on
Speaker 2: last week's TV show, and I think on this as well,
Speaker 2: where I said the updated rankings are Mahomes one, Burrow two.
Speaker 2: This was after Burrow Allen, and the third best quarterback
Speaker 2: in football is Patrick Mahomes on one leg. Deman, say,
Speaker 2: do I need to update those rankings because Patrick Mahomes,
Speaker 2: sures Hell, seemed like the better quarterback yesterday and he
Speaker 2: was on one leg or the the accurate updated rankings
Speaker 2: Mahomes one, Mahomes on one leg two, and then everybody else.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's say I gotta put Jalen Hurts in there.
Speaker 2: Jalen Maybe Jalen Hurts after Mahomes on one leg or
Speaker 2: before Mahomes on one leg between them, But okay, all right,
Speaker 2: we'll see all right, let's go to the Eagles and
Speaker 2: jail hurts.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, a.
Speaker 3: Team that you gave little credit to doubted all season
Speaker 3: is in the Super Bowl as well. Yeah, thoroughly beat
Speaker 3: down on the beat down a team on their fourth
Speaker 3: QB in San Francisco. Yep. But more importantly, they shut
Speaker 3: down your fifty to one ticket. Are you nervous for
Speaker 3: the matchup or are you gonna act like everything's all good?
Speaker 2: All right, listen, of course I'm nervous for the matchup.
Speaker 2: The Eagles defensive line is excellent. The running game is excellent. Now,
Speaker 2: Jalen didn't play very well in that game, but he
Speaker 2: didn't need to, right, He does seem to be banged up,
Speaker 2: and I don't understand why when that game was clearly
Speaker 2: in hand, they just kept running him, including on a
Speaker 2: drive board. It seemed like he kind of got hurt
Speaker 2: on a run. Then they ran three more run plays.
Speaker 2: But here's what, listen, I was wrong about Philly now
Speaker 2: it is. I will say this. You know, mahomes path
Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl was the Prince and then Joe Burrow.
Speaker 2: Had Joe Burrow made it, his path would have been
Speaker 2: Josh Allen and then Mahomes right in the last two rounds,
Speaker 2: the Eagles got Daniel Jones and then Josh Johnson and
Speaker 2: then brock Perty who wasn't allowed to throw. Credit to them,
Speaker 2: though you play who's in front of you. Does the
Speaker 2: NFL need to figure out a way to get some
Speaker 2: more good quarterbacks and that conference? Maybe, But that's that's
Speaker 2: not what I want to focus on here. What I
Speaker 2: want to focus on is the Eagles won that game. Yes,
Speaker 2: because of the quarterback injury, but before the quarterback injury,
Speaker 2: they were the sharper team, they were the better coach team.
Speaker 2: So all year long they've gone for fourth downs. They
Speaker 2: didn't change that. Because it's the conference championship game, fourth
Speaker 2: and three, they go for it. Now, the thing is
Speaker 2: they didn't really get it right. And this is where NFL,
Speaker 2: this is where Kyle Shanahan must be better. And I
Speaker 2: Demons can attest to this in real time. I said
Speaker 2: it before we got any of the replays. I Demond
Speaker 2: was in a bit of a fog because he had
Speaker 2: a first touchdown scoring prop on Christian McCaffrey and he
Speaker 2: was very upset that the Eagles were driving. But yes,
Speaker 2: do that again, Okay, did I or did I not
Speaker 2: point that out as it happened. So it's fourth and three.
Speaker 2: DeVante Smith catches that long pass. We don't get a
Speaker 2: great replay of it in real time from Fox, but
Speaker 2: Davonte Smith starts signaling something. He's punching his fist together,
Speaker 2: and the entire Eagles team rushes. The moment that happens
Speaker 2: on as big of a play as you can have.
Speaker 2: It's a turnover, it's fourth down. I know it's the
Speaker 2: first quarter, and I know you want to be careful
Speaker 2: with challenges, But the moment you see the opposition doing
Speaker 2: that when the guy who made the catch is the
Speaker 2: one letting everyone know we've got a hurry on that
Speaker 2: high leverage of a play. Shanahan, you must drop your
Speaker 2: challenge flag. Now let me tell you something else. And
Speaker 2: you and I talked about this eventually, because there's always
Speaker 2: reaction to the reactions, right, Eventually, teams will start doing
Speaker 2: that recognizing, oh wait, the guy who caught it's kind
Speaker 2: of freaking out. Let's go, let's challenge the play. The
Speaker 2: reaction to that is what and this is why I
Speaker 2: should do a weekend coaching consultancy charge all these teams
Speaker 2: one hundred grand or a quarter million a team, and
Speaker 2: everyone would be better. There is a really smart pivot
Speaker 2: to that, which is teach your guys on crazy catches
Speaker 2: that you know you got. Let's have a different signal
Speaker 2: where we're all gonna hurry, but we're not actually gonna
Speaker 2: snap it. We're gonna pretend we're hurrying to see if
Speaker 2: we can bait them into a bad challenge. Right, but
Speaker 2: teams aren't sophisticated enough yet to worry about that.
Speaker 3: Eventually they'll get there.
Speaker 2: So here's the thing about Shanahan. Shanahan is a brilliant
Speaker 2: play designer, a brilliant offensive mind. His in game coaching
Speaker 2: has left a lot to be desired over the years,
Speaker 2: a lot. He gets very conservative in these games, and
Speaker 2: that was a nick Sirianni taught these guys. Hey, guys,
Speaker 2: we need to have a somewhat subtle signal that everyone knows.
Speaker 2: If we think we got lucky on a call to
Speaker 2: get everyone down there and they executed it perfectly. If
Speaker 2: that doesn't happen, it's zero zero Niners ball near midfield,
Speaker 2: and maybe Purty eventually gets hurt, but maybe not. That
Speaker 2: one play changed the entire trajectory of that game. That
Speaker 2: was a coaching note. So credit to Devonte Smith, credit
Speaker 2: to the Eagles, And that's a bad job by Shanahan
Speaker 2: because I noticed him and I thought.
Speaker 3: And then they made it even crazier.
Speaker 2: The replay made it crystal clear.
Speaker 3: Yeah, made it.
Speaker 2: But they didn't get the replay in time. But you
Speaker 2: can't be so dependent on the replay, you just can't be.
Speaker 2: It was, by the way, the exact same uh type
Speaker 2: of catch non catch Tony would have had in the
Speaker 2: Chiefs game, and that one was exact opposite happened. And
Speaker 2: so it's odd though, because it was actually lucky for
Speaker 2: Philly that that wasn't a touchdown because touchdowns are automatically
Speaker 2: with you, you know what I mean. So that because
Speaker 2: it was the perfect spot for them to get lucky
Speaker 2: on it, but they also had to execute. DeVante first
Speaker 2: of all, had to go up and snag it so
Speaker 2: it could have been a catch, and then had to
Speaker 2: because what you sometimes see guys do on plays like
Speaker 2: that is then like celebrate, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: like hold the ball out, do old thing to try
Speaker 2: to like pretend they got it. But that gives the
Speaker 2: other team more time. So great job, great job by them. Now,
Speaker 2: as far as my confidence level, listen, I believe the
Speaker 2: Chiefs are the better team. I believe the Chiefs have
Speaker 2: the best player on the field, and I believe the
Speaker 2: Chiefs defense just did something it hasn't done one time
Speaker 2: in the entire Mahomes zero can say where as big
Speaker 2: of a reason for that win as.
Speaker 3: The offense was.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, I mean they stepped up huge in that
Speaker 2: fourth quarter. Special teams. With that said, Eagles have built
Speaker 2: one hell of a roster. There's gonna be a great
Speaker 2: super Bowl. I'm not gonna but I do want to
Speaker 2: see if Jalen Hurts is as compromise physically as he
Speaker 2: appeared to be in this game. Because the other part
Speaker 2: about that game is there were so it's seven to seven,
Speaker 2: the Niners are out of quarterbacks, they're gonna be able
Speaker 2: to get off the field. They had one drive where
Speaker 2: they had what five defensive penalties that extended the drive.
Speaker 2: Then the very next drive, Josh Johnson just drops the
Speaker 2: ball and now it's twenty one to seven and it's over.
Speaker 2: So I oddly didn't think Philly was overwhelming in that spot.
Speaker 2: The Niners were just in a really rough spot.
Speaker 3: Next, Yeah, for a team as good as the Niners are,
Speaker 3: they're in a bit of a conundrum. Yeah. San Francisco
Speaker 3: invested heavily and Trey Lance a few seasons ago, but
Speaker 3: party was obviously great. Who do you predict will be
Speaker 3: the weak one starter in the Bay next year?
Speaker 2: Trey Lance? Trey Lance, Guys, I know nobody likes when
Speaker 2: I do this, but you know what I really care
Speaker 2: about that degree, your rivals ranking coming out of high school?
Speaker 2: How good the entire world thought you were. Coming out
Speaker 2: of college and the entire world watch brock Perty play
Speaker 2: four years of college football and the entire world passed
Speaker 2: on him seven times or more. In the draft, the
Speaker 2: entire world saw Trey Lance play basically one year of
Speaker 2: small college football and he went in the top three. Now,
Speaker 2: you can say the Niners reached on him, but he
Speaker 2: was going to be a first round pick no matter
Speaker 2: what Purdy needed to have. In order for him to
Speaker 2: be the unquestioned Week one starter, he needed to win
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. Had they just gotten there, I don't
Speaker 2: think it would have been unquestioned. Now there seems to
Speaker 2: be some Tom Brady smoke again with the Niners. I
Speaker 2: think Brady is going to the Raiders personally Josh McDaniels. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so the Raiders got rid of car. Josh McDaniels was
Speaker 2: his offensive coordinator. There's a lot of reasons I think that,
Speaker 2: But I think Trey Lance is going to get every
Speaker 2: opportunity to win that job, because, yeah, they invested three
Speaker 2: first round picks in him, but also they have to
Speaker 2: decide whether you know the third is fifth year option
Speaker 2: is they gotta make the decision on that after next year.
Speaker 2: I and the idea that Trey Lance. Listen, Trey Lance
Speaker 2: when he played last season played fine. This year. His
Speaker 2: first game he was bad, but it was truly in
Speaker 2: a monsoon in Chicago. And then the second game he
Speaker 2: played like one drive and got his leg broke. So
Speaker 2: we don't know if he's good or not. I know
Speaker 2: that there were reports they didn't love him in training
Speaker 2: camp and all that stuff. Rock Party. You can't go
Speaker 2: into the year with Brock Purty being your guy. If
Speaker 2: you want to be your backup and feel great about
Speaker 2: your backup situation, fine, but Trey Lance is going to
Speaker 2: be the starter. What's the poll question?
Speaker 3: All right? Who will be the Week one starter? Of
Speaker 3: forty six percent say Lance, it's a prety twelve percent,
Speaker 3: thirteen percent say other.
Speaker 2: All right, We've got still got a lot more to do.
Speaker 2: We've got games to play. We're gonna talk a little
Speaker 2: Rogers and Brady. I'm gonna find more ways to talk
Speaker 2: about how god dog brilliant Patrick Mahomes was. We'll do
Speaker 2: it all next. What's Right?

Speaker 2: Hey, welcome back. In episode one twenty four, What's Right
Speaker 2: with Nick Wright? As we have a Chiefs Eagles Super Bowl,
Speaker 2: two best teams all year to a healthy teams. Now
Speaker 2: we'll see what the Chiefs wide receiver injuries are. Snead
Speaker 2: I think they got to have Snead back. The loss
Speaker 2: of Lagerius Snead in this game, it was really worrisome
Speaker 2: for me. Now, his injury was a concussion, which given
Speaker 2: the fact that it's two weeks until the Super Bowl,
Speaker 2: he's not a guy who's had a bunch of concussions,
Speaker 2: you expect him to be back, right. But I mean
Speaker 2: Tony the Kadarius Tony who got hurt that was the
Speaker 2: knock on him with the Giants was hurt all the time.
Speaker 2: He's been hurting out twice with the Chiefs. Hardman had
Speaker 2: been out for two and a half months. Came back
Speaker 2: and by the way, shout out to Hardman because he
Speaker 2: came back.
Speaker 3: And got banged up and got well.
Speaker 2: Yes, but the play he got hurt on, which might
Speaker 2: be his last play of the season, because you missed
Speaker 2: two and a half months, come back and then get
Speaker 2: hurt again, he might be done for He might not
Speaker 2: be ready in two weeks, was a third down catch
Speaker 2: on a drive we scored a touchdown, So shout out
Speaker 2: to him. And then Juju. The broadcast just didn't recognize
Speaker 2: that Juju was injured. They were talking about how they
Speaker 2: had all the backups in, but there's no Can I
Speaker 2: tell you something, It was not a great job by
Speaker 2: CBS Bruck. It just wasn't a great broadcast. I apologize
Speaker 2: Romo was wrong a half dozen times. I didn't.
Speaker 3: I didn't.
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to throw stones here, but it wasn't
Speaker 2: a great broadcast, all right. Before we get to the
Speaker 2: next topic, the so there was the question of is
Speaker 2: Burrow Mahomes the next Manning Brady? And I said, how
Speaker 2: could it be when when Mahomes is Both guys shout
Speaker 2: out to president and founder of Blue Duck Media Gabe Goodwin,
Speaker 2: who was one of the very first people to ever
Speaker 2: be nice to me when Fox hired me, kind of
Speaker 2: took me under his wing a little bit, showed me
Speaker 2: around the campus. And I give Gabe a hard time
Speaker 2: because Gabe sometimes tweets about podcasts he likes more than
Speaker 2: my podcast during my podcast, but he did build this
Speaker 2: company that produces this show. He also just had a
Speaker 2: I grade how good a sports take is in my
Speaker 2: own head based on whether or not when I read it.
Speaker 2: I'm jealous that I didn't come up with it, and
Speaker 2: Gabe just came up with one that's so good that
Speaker 2: I'm giving them all these compliments of being so nice
Speaker 2: to him, in part because I'm gonna say this on
Speaker 2: television today as if it were my own. You guys,
Speaker 2: everyone watching on YouTube can know it came from Gabe.
Speaker 2: But this one for the TV audience, your buddy Nick
Speaker 2: Wright came up with this one. Gabe wrote, It's not
Speaker 2: Manning Brady, it's Tiger versus the field, Sergio, Phil Duval,
Speaker 2: Rory Speed, or Alan, Herbert Lawrence, It's Burrow, et cetera.
Speaker 2: He is exactly right. There will be a different rival
Speaker 2: that pop up each time, with the consistent being Mahomes
Speaker 2: will be the hammer. And will he win every single major?
Speaker 2: Will he win every single AFC Championship game in every
Speaker 2: single Super Bowl? No, but he will be there and
Speaker 2: then the other guys will rotate. Yeah, that's exactly what
Speaker 2: it is. And so it's not a Federer Nadal situation
Speaker 2: or Federer Djokovic where there's three great guys and it's
Speaker 2: it's more Sampris versus all the guys of his era
Speaker 2: where he was the consistent guy and then it rotated.
Speaker 2: It's exactly right, Gabe. It's a great point, and I'm
Speaker 2: so glad that I came up with it. All right,
Speaker 2: next Demanse.
Speaker 3: All right, we'll circle back to the super Bowl in
Speaker 3: a second. But one other huge story came out in
Speaker 3: the NFL. You predicted Rogers to the Jets and Brady's
Speaker 3: to the Raiders.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we can show the those you ye, go ahead.
Speaker 3: The moves would mean that every top quarterback outside of
Speaker 3: Hurts would reside in the AFC. That can Kyler will
Speaker 3: be top three and will be the top three NFCQ quarterback.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's unbelievable.
Speaker 3: Yeah, go ahead. If your predictions are right, will either
Speaker 3: of them ever be relevant again?
Speaker 2: Not to win championships?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: And by the way, like I don't know if Rogers
Speaker 2: and Brady are still top quarterbacks their top quarterback names. Now,
Speaker 2: I do think Rogers on the Jets could they should
Speaker 2: be a playoff team. They would have been a playoff
Speaker 2: team this year with Jimmy Garoppolo. I mean they just
Speaker 2: got knee capped by their quarterback situation.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: That defense is awesome, they have skilled position guys. They're
Speaker 2: getting Bryce hallback or Breece hallback and Garrett Wilson's awesome.
Speaker 2: So I but listen that we've talked about this before
Speaker 2: and we talked about it live when it happened. Not
Speaker 2: Hackett got the Broncos job because, according to Chris Collinsworth,
Speaker 2: Rot Rogers loved playing cornhole with him and he made
Speaker 2: Rogers laugh when they were in Green Bay together. They
Speaker 2: and they thought they were gonna get Rogers. They didn't.
Speaker 2: The Jets just hired him to run the offense. He
Speaker 2: ran the Jags offense, which was terrible, and then years
Speaker 2: ago and then he ran the Packers offense. But he
Speaker 2: didn't really run the Packers offense because Mike Lafleur or
Speaker 2: Matt Lafleur, whichever one, which one's there, Matt lafor Mike
Speaker 2: Lafleur was the Packers or the Geez. Matt Lafleur is
Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers head Coachnat Hackett worked for him.
Speaker 2: Mike Lafleur, his brother was the Jets offensive coordinator who
Speaker 2: just got fired. Fornat Hackett to come in for him.
Speaker 2: Point is this, they're doing this to get Rogers. I
Speaker 2: think they're getting Rogers now. When it comes to Brady,
Speaker 2: the Dolphins came out and said we're no, that's not true.
Speaker 2: Schefter reported that the Dolphins are sticking with Dua, who,
Speaker 2: by the way, can't participate in the Pro Bowl because
Speaker 2: he's still in concussion protocol. It's a little concerning. Also,
Speaker 2: it also means that there is a chance that the
Speaker 2: Pro Bowl has to go to the fourth alternate, which
Speaker 2: would be Tyler Huntley. Tyler Huntley Pro Bowl. I don't
Speaker 2: understand how that one works, that one like, hey, I
Speaker 2: don't get it. I promise you, I don't get it.
Speaker 2: But set that aside.
Speaker 3: Uh, the.
Speaker 2: So the Dolphins, if they're really off the board for Brady,
Speaker 2: the only possibilities are San Francisco. But I think they
Speaker 2: need to see Trey play Tennessee and the Raiders. Josh
Speaker 2: McDaniels is with the Raiders. They have Devontae Adams, they
Speaker 2: have Josh Jacobs. They they just got rid of Derek Carr.
Speaker 2: You do all those things. I would imagine you don't
Speaker 2: get rid of Derek Carr without a plan, and the
Speaker 2: plan is not stittle. So I think it's Brady to
Speaker 2: the Raiders and Rogers to the Jets. All right, let's
Speaker 2: play a game.
Speaker 3: All right, today we're playing right or wrong teams with
Speaker 3: the two best records in the and the NFL are
Speaker 3: headed to the Super Bowl. So does this mean that
Speaker 3: they're the two best or did a better team miss out?
Speaker 3: Right or wrong? The two best teams are in the
Speaker 3: Super Bowl?
Speaker 2: No, I think given the quarterback injuries to San Francisco,
Speaker 2: these are the two best teams. The Chiefs are clearly
Speaker 2: one of the two best teams and the Niners. Listen,
Speaker 2: you can't certain they lost three quarterbacks to what looks
Speaker 2: like season ending injuries. You can't survive it. Do I
Speaker 2: think the Niners fully healthier, better than the Eagles. I do,
Speaker 2: but you know it's a war of attrition, so to speak.
Speaker 2: The Eagles, by the way, lost a quarterback. They're quarterback
Speaker 2: for a few weeks this year, but they had played
Speaker 2: well enough leading up to it they were still able
Speaker 2: to be the one seed. What it does mean is this,
Speaker 2: If the Chiefs win this Super Bowl, they will have
Speaker 2: beaten every team that matters this year. They beat the Bengals,
Speaker 2: the Niners are on a twelve game winning streak that
Speaker 2: the last team to beat them was the Chiefs, and
Speaker 2: now they get the Eagles. They beat the Chargers twice,
Speaker 2: they beat the Bills, they beat Tom Brady. They beat
Speaker 2: every team that matters this year except for Buffalo. I
Speaker 2: guess sorry, Buffalo, hang the banner. You beat the you
Speaker 2: beat the Chiefs, but it didn't matter for you the
Speaker 2: the four or five. If you it's really rare to
Speaker 2: have a season where you end up being able to
Speaker 2: say you the entirety of the final four, except for
Speaker 2: you can't beat yourself. The Chiefs now have that opportunity.
Speaker 2: So I do think these are the two best teams. Listen,
Speaker 2: I was too low on Philly. They've proven it, and
Speaker 2: I didn't work into well I gave. I didn't give
Speaker 2: them getting the buy in the one seed enough credit
Speaker 2: for what it was going to mean for them, that
Speaker 2: they were going to be able to get a little
Speaker 2: healthier in the by and that they were I was
Speaker 2: just certain the Vikings were going to beat the Giants
Speaker 2: and Philly would be playing a real team in Round two,
Speaker 2: be it Dallas or Tampa. Now Tampa ended up not
Speaker 2: being a real team, but Dallas had given Philly trouble
Speaker 2: this year. But because the Giants won, when you're the
Speaker 2: one seed, you get the worst team remaining. Because the
Speaker 2: playoffs reseed by the way, that helped the Chiefs do.
Speaker 2: They got the Jags and the Prince instead having to
Speaker 2: deal with Cincinnati around earlier, Buffalo around earlier. So that's
Speaker 2: where the regular season does matter. I give credit to
Speaker 2: the Eagles. Also, you know I got Demanse. So if
Speaker 2: I ever told you, I think I've told you the
Speaker 2: story about So the Eagles in twenty seventeen, my first
Speaker 2: year on TV, they have Carson Wentz. They're like, I
Speaker 2: don't know, thirteen and one or something. The Eagles in
Speaker 2: twenty seven team had a guy named Carson Wentz. Well,
Speaker 2: you know, Carson Wentz is but that year he looked
Speaker 2: like he was gonna be League MVP. And when a
Speaker 2: month left in the season, he was running trying to
Speaker 2: run for a touchdown, dough for it and got his
Speaker 2: leg snapped, leg broken, And I went on TV and said, Okay,
Speaker 2: you can't win the super Bowl. You had the League MVP.
Speaker 2: He's done for the year. You're not winning the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Then they kept winning, right, so they were the one
Speaker 2: seed that year as well. They played in the NFC
Speaker 2: Championship game against Minnesota. My TV partner at the time
Speaker 2: was Chris Carter Vikings Legen, so Chris and I along
Speaker 2: with Dusty went to Eagles. Vikings tripped to Super Bowl
Speaker 2: on the line and sat in the Vikings owner's box demanse.
Speaker 2: These Eagles fans started a f Nick Wright chant were
Speaker 2: pounding on the glass at the thing. I mean, they
Speaker 2: were rabid with anger. That game started seven to nothing
Speaker 2: Minnesota and ended thirty eight to seven Philly, and I
Speaker 2: was I wouldn't afraid, but I thought it could get
Speaker 2: sideways on me for real. These Eagles fans don't mess around.
Speaker 2: So now I've done it again where I've doubted. The
Speaker 2: Eagles said they were gonna be one and done, they
Speaker 2: find themselves in the super Bowl. The difference is I
Speaker 2: now like to go to Philly a lot. I play
Speaker 2: poker there. Your mom likes to shop there. We take
Speaker 2: weekend trips to Philly like once every couple of months.
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know if I'm welcome, and so
Speaker 2: it's kind of a bad beat for me. They got
Speaker 2: great casinos. I love playing cards there. But listen, shout
Speaker 2: out to the Birds.
Speaker 3: We did the Chiefs win. I feel like you got
Speaker 3: some respect out there, man, disrespectful respect Chiefs Eagles, respectful disrespect.
Speaker 2: All right, next, all right?
Speaker 3: The Bengals spent all week tempting fate by calling Arrowhead Burrowhead.
Speaker 2: It's the stupidest I've ever heard. Sorry for cursing YouTube balls.
Speaker 3: Even the bey of the Cincinnati got into it with
Speaker 3: the whole paternity test thing though.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the mayor of Cincinnati claimed to have a paternity test,
Speaker 2: saying Joe Burrow is Patrick Mahomes's father. Yeah, it's crazy,
Speaker 2: it's wildly wild.
Speaker 3: That's like, uh, that's like Madden trolley yeah something. Yeah,
Speaker 3: go ahead, Well the chief's clearly noticed. Did it actually
Speaker 3: matter in your opinion? Right or wrong? The Bengals would
Speaker 3: have won if they didn't talk so much mess.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say wrong. But here's what I'm gonna say.
Speaker 2: I used to believe bulletin board material was a figment
Speaker 2: of the media's imagination. It's like, okay, so you're telling
Speaker 2: me to trip to the super Bowl. It's the best
Speaker 2: players in the world. You know, they weren't gonna be
Speaker 2: at peak motivation, but now because somebody said something, they're
Speaker 2: gonna try harder. Logically, it never made sense to me. Okay,
Speaker 2: but literally every great athlete ever seems to talk about this.
Speaker 2: That we saw what they said. It bothered us. We
Speaker 2: were disrespected teams like the Bengals against the Bills did
Speaker 2: seem to play better because they were angry that they
Speaker 2: thought the NFL wanted Chiefs Bills they were selling those Dickens.
Speaker 2: And then the Bengals flipped the whole thing because they
Speaker 2: couldn't help themselves and they wanted to talk trash. The
Speaker 2: one guy who didn't do.
Speaker 3: It was Burrow.
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow knew better, but Eli Apple couldn't stop talking.
Speaker 2: Mike Hilton couldn't stop talking. All these guys, ch chirp, chirp,
Speaker 2: we're the U. Joe, what did Joe Mixon? Did Joe
Speaker 2: Mixon play yesterday? Yeah, let me let no. I know
Speaker 2: he played, but I want to know what he did
Speaker 2: because Joe Mixon were the big dogs. Now, let's see Joe,
Speaker 2: Joe Mixon had eight carries? How many yards do you
Speaker 2: think he had on those eight carries?
Speaker 3: Eight nineteen nineteen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a nice to Night's two point three seven
Speaker 2: five yards per care By the way, I know him
Speaker 2: so annoying, But I got to see if I got
Speaker 2: that exactly right to the one thousand nineteen divided by eight?
Speaker 2: Is it two point three seven five? Let's find out together. Oh,
Speaker 2: you know what, I gotta tell you, you're really you're really
Speaker 2: dealing with a special brain over here, my friend. I mean,
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, just nail it. Good job, Joe Mixon,
Speaker 2: good job, good effort. They got three catches for fifteen yards,
Speaker 2: so Joe Mixon touched the ball eleven times. Got a
Speaker 2: grand total of thirty four yards on those eleven touches.
Speaker 2: That's three point zero nine yards per touch. By the way,
Speaker 2: the Nines repeating, uh, good job, big dogs of the AFC. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they talked too much trash and I tried to bait
Speaker 2: Quinton the American City, my buddy into firing on that
Speaker 2: Maren Cincinnati, But I think their buddies, so I don't
Speaker 2: think he's gonna do it. It was out razy, all right?
Speaker 3: Next, all right, Every year the media picks one storyline
Speaker 3: to run with for two weeks. This year, you're Reid
Speaker 3: facing Philly as X team or the Kelsey bros becoming
Speaker 3: the first brothers to play against each other and are
Speaker 3: huge stories. Obviously, it's also the first time two black
Speaker 3: quarterbacks face off. What is it going to be right
Speaker 3: or wrong? Kelsey brothers facing off is the best storyline
Speaker 3: of the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: No, I think Andy Reid against the Eagles is the
Speaker 2: best storyline better. I mean, listen, I want it.
Speaker 3: But brothers have faced off in the Super Bowl before. Correct,
Speaker 3: was it Shanahan coaching brothers have coaching?
Speaker 2: No? No, it was harble harble.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Ravens versus the the Ravens versus the Niners. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean that was probably an unnecessary curse therapy. Here's
Speaker 2: what I want to say about Andy Reid. Andy Reid
Speaker 2: coached in Philly for how many years? Fourteen years? Here's
Speaker 2: here's the games they how many games they won each
Speaker 2: year's first year they won five, then eleven, eleven, twelve, twelve, thirteen,
Speaker 2: on your six, ten, eight, nine, eleven, ten, eight four fire.
Speaker 2: They made the playoffs nine times. They won a playoff
Speaker 2: game seven years that he was there. They made the
Speaker 2: conference championship game five times with Andy Reid there. Okay,
Speaker 2: now they only won that conference championship game once for
Speaker 2: Andy to get redemption. It's all time stuff. And by
Speaker 2: the way, list of coach playoff wins wiki. I okay,
Speaker 2: so Andy Reid now when it comes to playoff victories
Speaker 2: all time, excuse me, he is in second place by
Speaker 2: himself with twenty one. Only Belichick is ahead of him.
Speaker 2: So Andy Reid is the second most uh second most
Speaker 2: playoff wins ever, and when it comes to regular season wins,
Speaker 2: he's fifth all time at two forty seven. He will
Speaker 2: next year pass Tom Landry and it will just be
Speaker 2: Don Shula, George Hallis, and Bill Belichick ahead of him.
Speaker 2: The guy's a legend, a true legend. And I think
Speaker 2: that's a bigger story. The Kelsey brothers thing is unbelievable.
Speaker 2: But here's why I don't think it's gonna be as
Speaker 2: big of a story. One is, they won't match up
Speaker 2: against each other. They both obviously play on offense.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: The other thing is we right now might be like
Speaker 2: in the golden age of NFL brothers. So Travis Kelcey
Speaker 2: and Jason Kelsey both hall of famers in my opinion.
Speaker 2: Joey Bosa and Nicki Bosa not Hall of famers yet,
Speaker 2: but hall of fame talent, and TJ. Watt one no doubt,
Speaker 2: hall of famer one in route with a third brother, Derek,
Speaker 2: who's fine as a fullback. We got a lot of
Speaker 2: the and then on a lower level, Quinnin and Quincy
Speaker 2: Williams who play on the Jets together the Yeah, well,
Speaker 2: it also kind of shows you that kids out there,
Speaker 2: if you want to be a pro athlete, I wish
Speaker 2: you luck and you should try as hard as you
Speaker 2: can and chase your dreams. Also, it kind of helps
Speaker 2: if your dad was an awesome athlete. Hey, kind of
Speaker 2: helps if you're like and I know, demands. You don't
Speaker 2: always you don't know if you're gonna have kids or not,
Speaker 2: or what you're gonna do. But if you do decide
Speaker 2: at some point you want to have kids, and it's
Speaker 2: like two girls that you're deciding who do I want
Speaker 2: to be serious with? Yeah, you could maybe air on
Speaker 2: the side of like if one of them played college
Speaker 2: volleyball or something.
Speaker 3: Right you know, I'm getting a call. Sorry, guys, I'm
Speaker 3: getting a call right now from Kansas City or Kansas.
Speaker 3: Do you think this is any chance this is about
Speaker 3: my driver's license?
Speaker 2: I don't know. Go answer it, Go answer it. Just
Speaker 2: go see what it is. Who cares it to? I said,
Speaker 2: go answer it. I'm very curious if it is, let's
Speaker 2: find out together, Demanta, if that is about your driver's license?
Speaker 2: Just doing a podcast. He's so worried about his driver's license.
Speaker 2: I was telling him, giving him life advice about whether
Speaker 2: about who he should have kids with. So the the
Speaker 2: last point that I was not about your driver's license,
Speaker 2: they hung up on you. You got fried. I guess you'll
Speaker 2: find out together. Uh so the I don't think the
Speaker 2: Kelsey brothers are gonna be the dominant story, but I
Speaker 2: think it will be a big story. All right, they're
Speaker 2: calling again. Let's just find out together. Oh that's Gabe. Okay,
Speaker 2: all right, Next, what's the next question?
Speaker 3: All right? So the Big Game is on Fox this year,
Speaker 3: So I have two questions. First off, right or wrong?
Speaker 3: Nick will be attending the Super Bowl?
Speaker 2: Person wrong, I'm gonna I'm gonna be in Arizona the
Speaker 2: week of I'm gonna be doing shows for Fox.
Speaker 3: But I don't want to go to the game. You
Speaker 3: don't want to go?
Speaker 2: No, I don't like I don't like watching. I would
Speaker 2: be more interested in going to the game if the
Speaker 2: Chiefs weren't playing it. I don't like watching.
Speaker 3: You don't really get to I don't want.
Speaker 2: To be around people. I don't want to be I
Speaker 2: there's no there's no great No, I don't want to
Speaker 2: be there. So No, I'm not going. Someone gave me tickets,
Speaker 2: I'd give them away to somebody. I don't want to go.
Speaker 2: It's too much, all right, it's just too much. I
Speaker 2: get anxious just thinking about it.
Speaker 3: Next, I guess next question is if somebody ends up
Speaker 3: giving you those super Bowl tickets, will you give them
Speaker 3: to me?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: No, why did I give them to you? Oh? I
Speaker 3: was just the second question is just kind of like
Speaker 3: a relevant Now why because it's yeah, oh.
Speaker 2: Demonte would be attending the super Bowl in person. No,
Speaker 2: that's wrong as well. Uh, Now I am curious to see.
Speaker 2: Here's what I want. Here's what I'm gonna do between
Speaker 2: now and the super Bowl. I usually just like ignore
Speaker 2: requests people if I don't have a relationship with the
Speaker 2: person already and they're like, hey, come on my show
Speaker 2: or do this or whatever, I just ignore it, just
Speaker 2: don't respond. I'm going to every request that I get
Speaker 2: for any media this week that isn't from a friend
Speaker 2: or someone that I've done stuff with before, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: reply and say I'm unavailable. However, you can get my
Speaker 2: podcast co host Aman Day, and you're gonna end up
Speaker 2: doing like radio hits and feels. I'm very excited for it.
Speaker 2: All right, we've got a few more. We got what
Speaker 2: we gotta talk for a moment about how the Lakers
Speaker 2: game ended, and we've got to get to your guys
Speaker 2: questions in the final block of the show, take a
Speaker 2: quick break. We'll see if Demandy makes this whole break
Speaker 2: without taking a personal call. We'll do that next. What's right? Oh,
Speaker 2: we're back, Hey, welcome back in episode one twenty four. Sorry,
Speaker 2: I was reading some of the listener comments or viewer comments,
Speaker 2: which have been excellent. By the way, please type in
Speaker 2: your comments now. We'll get to them shortly. Gonna spend
Speaker 2: a couple minutes while we compile some more listener questions
Speaker 2: and comments in the chat. Uh talking about the basketball
Speaker 2: game from this week in demonte go right ahead, all.
Speaker 3: Right, the Lakers Celtics game was about as embarrassing as
Speaker 3: it gets. The refs missed to call on Lebron and
Speaker 3: of course he threw a tantrum.
Speaker 2: What do you mean, of course? And he's just the
Speaker 2: greatest player ever once again gets hosed by the refs.
Speaker 2: Once It's almost like the refs are as invested as
Speaker 2: the entirety of the media is in trying to tarnish
Speaker 2: this man's legacy. Guy, you can have a game winning
Speaker 2: layup to beat the Celtics on national television. Right before
Speaker 2: he breaks Kareem's record, Jason Tatum essentially tries to amputate
Speaker 2: his arm pack his arm, and the refs think, oh,
Speaker 2: Lebron just missed the rim on a layup. Give me
Speaker 2: a break, go ahead.
Speaker 3: A lot of R and B songs that are that
Speaker 3: go very well and sync with Lebron's like little Trum.
Speaker 2: Okay, great, I mean, what was that di'angelo Danielle? Was
Speaker 2: he the one who was singing shirtless? Yeah, no, that's
Speaker 2: that's not D'Angelo.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, but all right. Then Patrick Beverley took it
Speaker 3: upon himself to show a rep of camera, which resulted
Speaker 3: in it, which.
Speaker 2: Is an outrageous thing to do right before you go
Speaker 2: to overtime. He's such a clown.
Speaker 3: Then the NBA refs apologize very dramatically on Twitter. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so we're gonna show graphic for those watching on YouTube.
Speaker 2: Huh Yeah, The ref said they you know, they feel
Speaker 2: terribly and they missed it.
Speaker 3: They finally owned up to it. Right or wrong. Lebron
Speaker 3: should have just made the layup? What?
Speaker 2: Oh, go to hell? Whoever wrote this question? We should
Speaker 2: have just made the layup he got. Do people think
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum is not a big strong person? Some people
Speaker 2: needs lead MVP six aut tahlls he six ' eight. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they're about going full fourth hit him in the arm.
Speaker 2: I I you know what, I'm gonna go ahead and
Speaker 2: say that that was not a makeable layup. Hey, go ahead.
Speaker 2: It looks so wrong.
Speaker 3: The ref said they missed the angle. What do you
Speaker 3: have to say about this angle? Looks like a travel
Speaker 3: to me?
Speaker 2: Oh, give me break, We're gonna now all of a
Speaker 2: sudden this Oh okay, one, two, okay, guys, three, okay,
Speaker 2: it's obviously not a travel. That is a gas and
Speaker 2: then a step and a half. That's first of all,
Speaker 2: second of all, stop it. We're having a great day.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna go to the next question.
Speaker 3: So what about Patrick Beverley? Though here's him with the camera.
Speaker 3: A lot of people were wondering what he was looking
Speaker 3: at on that. But thank god, we have amazing technology
Speaker 3: and we can show you exactly what we were looking at.
Speaker 2: Let me see, I think we're gonna zoom, We're zoom
Speaker 2: in Oh, oh oh, this is saying edging cowards and
Speaker 2: then crying. Okay, I wasn't crying, all right, close call, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I could have won fifty thousand, Yeah, you know, sixteen thousand.
Speaker 2: Oh if I would have cashed out, never looked myself
Speaker 2: in the mirror again, cash out cash out an all
Speaker 2: time great bet. You know what? Hey, and we'll get
Speaker 2: the question here in a second. I want to tell
Speaker 2: America something. If you are cash if you are taking
Speaker 2: the cash out option, you're gambling over your head. If
Speaker 2: you are taking the cash out option, unless it is
Speaker 2: like a twenty leg parlay, you put twenty bucks on
Speaker 2: and now they're offering you, you know, tens of thousands
Speaker 2: of dollars to cash out. That's a separate circumstance. But
Speaker 2: if it is a reasonable bet and you are like,
Speaker 2: oh I got a cash out, I can't let this ride,
Speaker 2: then you're gambling for too much money. Whatever your budget is,
Speaker 2: you're gambling for too much money.
Speaker 3: Well, I feel like if you're not cashing out, then
Speaker 3: you're just not watching these games, because who's to suspect
Speaker 3: that brock Purdy is going to get hurt and then
Speaker 3: the game turns out like that.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, listen, that's fine. I didn't anticipate Rock Party
Speaker 2: getting injured exactly. You're right, So I lose the bet.
Speaker 2: I lose the bet, and I hold my head up high. Whatever.
Speaker 2: It was a great bet, the fifty to one bet
Speaker 2: that I woke up Sunday morning the day the bet
Speaker 2: was gonna be. That bet was alive until the very
Speaker 2: last day it possibly could be alive, and the final
Speaker 2: day it is true. I bet which two teams would
Speaker 2: win the conference championship games. The morning of the conference
Speaker 2: championship games, the BET's still alive. The bet at that
Speaker 2: point in time had gone up in value fifteen fold,
Speaker 2: and then it lost. I'm I can't believe the producers
Speaker 2: and you and everyone having done this gambling show with
Speaker 2: me for five months, still thinks hedging was an option.
Speaker 2: Is never an option. You make a bet because you
Speaker 2: believe in it, and then you see how it plays out.
Speaker 2: It's the same thing that when you see people playing
Speaker 2: poker and they're like, you want to run it three
Speaker 2: times or or or you want to just chop the pot. No, no,
Speaker 2: are you here to gamble or not? Or are we are? We?
Speaker 2: Are we playing games of chance with a chance for
Speaker 2: high return some loss with some skill involved, or do
Speaker 2: we all or or if not, I mean I go
Speaker 2: be a stockbroker. There's a lot of things you can
Speaker 2: do to safely get small returns called merrill. Lynch put
Speaker 2: in a goddamn t bill. I'm here to gamble and
Speaker 2: I lost. I'm really disappointed in everybody here.
Speaker 3: Next, all right, hit your butts fellows, Okay, stop saying that.
Speaker 3: All Right, you're fifty to one super Bowl preseason bet
Speaker 3: fell just short. Obviously, if only a full team of
Speaker 3: producers beg GigE begs you to edge, but we're only
Speaker 3: a thousand people away from it. On youre k subs
Speaker 3: on YouTube, right or wrong? One hundred k is better
Speaker 3: than fifty to one.
Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you this much right now. Now.
Speaker 2: Part of this has to do with the fact that,
Speaker 2: like I'm self aware enough to know I'm very blessed.
Speaker 2: I have a very good job. I make good money,
Speaker 2: but I am I will one hundred percent. It will
Speaker 2: be more gratifying the moment we get to one hundred
Speaker 2: thousand subscribers on YouTube, if we do it before the
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, than winning that bet would have been one
Speaker 2: is like a professional accomplishment. The other is money, they
Speaker 2: they and so. By the way, so yes, right or wrong?
Speaker 2: One hundred thousand subscribers on YouTube is way better than
Speaker 2: if I'd hit that bet new audience record. By the way,
Speaker 2: we have thirty one thousand people that have watched this
Speaker 2: in some capacity. We had over nine thousand live viewers,
Speaker 2: and are we're subscribers are worth over ninety eight thousand,
Speaker 2: eight hundred. So we could end today demonse less than
Speaker 2: a thousand people away from one hundred thousand, which means
Speaker 2: we should hit it. We should hit it by the
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, which we were fifteen thousand away when the
Speaker 2: playoffs started. I think so or something like that. So
Speaker 2: that would be great. All right, let's read some fan
Speaker 2: questions and I got to get to work, all right.
Speaker 3: The chat is loaded with oh yeah, the chat is
Speaker 3: loaded with Eagles fans today saying you didn't respect them.
Speaker 3: Are they reminding you of how the Bengals talk smack
Speaker 3: before the AFC Championship?
Speaker 2: No, I don't think there'll be much smack talk before this,
Speaker 2: and the Eagles fans talk all the smack they want
Speaker 2: to me. That's fine, I deserve it. I didn't respect them.
Speaker 2: As a top, top, top team. I thought they were
Speaker 2: a good team, and I think they were a great team.
Speaker 2: I'm still not convinced they're a great team.
Speaker 3: But they're here, and.
Speaker 2: They're healthy, and they are deep. And here's the thing,
Speaker 2: there is only one spot on the field. The Chiefs
Speaker 2: clearly have the edge in the Super Bowl. It's quarterback.
Speaker 2: Chiefs have a good old line that Eagles have the
Speaker 2: best o line. The Chiefs for second league. In sacks,
Speaker 2: the Chiefs are first. I'm sorry, the Chiefs for second
Speaker 2: league in the sacks. The Eagles were first in the
Speaker 2: league in sacks. There's Oh my goodness, there's someone from Pennsylvan.
Speaker 2: Now I'm getting a phone call. It's from Pennsylvania. I
Speaker 2: wonder if it's a trolling Eagles fan. Uh. The Eagles.
Speaker 2: They have two star receivers in Devontae Smith and A. J. Brown.
Speaker 2: The Chiefs currently have none. I guess the Chiefs are
Speaker 2: better at tight end too. But that's it. And so
Speaker 2: it's gonna be can Mahomes put the team on his
Speaker 2: back and can Andy Reid scheme it up? And by
Speaker 2: the way, we might get to ninety nine thousand subscribers
Speaker 2: for the end of Day Show, We're less than thirty away.
Speaker 3: All right, next, all right, Jack Rudolph says, what potential guests,
Speaker 3: athlete or not? Do you want the most to come on?
Speaker 3: What's right?
Speaker 2: I mean, if I could have anybody in the sports world,
Speaker 2: it'd be on. Yeah, I also would. I'd like to
Speaker 2: get Kelsey on. I think Kelsey would actually be more fun.
Speaker 2: I'd like to get Mahomes on. If Mahomes post Super
Speaker 2: Bowl felt comfortable enough to be honest, not that he's
Speaker 2: not honest, but he's very, very buttoned up, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. He's never said anything. Yeah, I mean, listen,
Speaker 2: he's a billion dollar brand. I get it. Kelsey, on
Speaker 2: the other hand, just be flying. There was I think
Speaker 2: my favorite, maybe my favorite Chief celebration video ever came
Speaker 2: last night when Mahomes is getting interviewed on the sideline
Speaker 2: after the game and Mahomes is literally saying, first of all,
Speaker 2: all praise goes to God, and before he can even
Speaker 2: finish thanking God, Kelsey comes over. He's laughing like a
Speaker 2: maniac and just goes burrow ahead, my ass, this is
Speaker 2: mahomes house. Hey, It's just Mahomes is thanking God and
Speaker 2: Kelsey's just being a total lunatic reconably so.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. By the way, we just hit ninety nine thousand subscribers.
Speaker 2: Sorry if we didn't get to your questions or comments.
Speaker 2: I'll see you guys in three hours on television. Uh.
Speaker 2: Should be the best rated show we've ever done. At
Speaker 2: least that's what I'm shooting for. We're gonna do that
Speaker 2: on TV. This is the best podcast we've ever done.
Speaker 2: Great job everybody. Talk to you guys on Thursday, see
Speaker 2: at three pm on FS one. We'll try
