0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:31.320
<v Speaker 1>It's Max, it's Will. Good intro, We're here. That was

0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:33.639
<v Speaker 1>pretty smooth act. That wasn't that bad? Matt. I don't

0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:35.600
<v Speaker 1>know what did you think? How do you think Will's

0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:37.760
<v Speaker 1>intro was gonna go? Be honest, I didn't think it

0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 1>was going to be very good. But I didn't even

0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:43.400
<v Speaker 1>have to say that much. I didn't know what you

0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:45.120
<v Speaker 1>were gonna say. We didn't talk about it. You just

0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:47.080
<v Speaker 1>jumped into I thought you did a good job though. Yeah,

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:48.720
<v Speaker 1>it was pretty simple, better than I would have done

0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:50.959
<v Speaker 1>that natural. That sounded good. Yeah. You know, I've I've

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:53.800
<v Speaker 1>been working on apps all day like I've been I've

0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:56.520
<v Speaker 1>been knee deep in trying to create these apps. Max

0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:59.640
<v Speaker 1>are you're a big apps guy, not appetizers. I mean,

0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:01.760
<v Speaker 1>I know you the advertisers too. That's that's what I

0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:04.080
<v Speaker 1>was gonna say. Yes, Yes, you love a good app.

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Um you always get you always get an app before

0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:11.479
<v Speaker 1>a good meal. I like to. Yeah, I like to, especially,

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:13.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, if you've got a group and you can

0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:15.319
<v Speaker 1>share some apps. Yeah, that's true. We we did that

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 1>this week. Get it going a little bit, Yeah, that's

0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of my prefer so. I mean, obviously people have

0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:22.840
<v Speaker 1>probably figured out by now Caroline they're not hearing her voice. Yeah, no,

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:26.120
<v Speaker 1>where is she? Everyone knows where she at this point now. Yeah,

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.320
<v Speaker 1>I guess because you know why, because they're on their

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 1>apps on Instagram and Twitter and they see there down there,

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 1>and you know what app you should get. I think

0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:35.840
<v Speaker 1>I know where this is going. The Lift app, where

0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:38.759
<v Speaker 1>the group chat sponsored by Lift. Download the Pink Lift

0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:41.520
<v Speaker 1>app and link your credit card and take your first ride. Today.

0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:43.360
<v Speaker 1>I think they took a lift down to Miami. If

0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not mistaken, that's a big that's a big Actually, yes,

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 1>what would you actually guess? That? Fair would be? I've

0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:56.680
<v Speaker 1>seen stories about lift rides that long. Let's say if

0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 1>you were a driver and somebody like it popped up

0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 1>in it was like someone here in Charlotte, North Carolina

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 1>wants to drive down to Miami, Florida. No, like, would

0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.640
<v Speaker 1>you take that? No? I mean that's a big chunk

0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 1>of change. How long does that drives? It? Like twelve

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:14.800
<v Speaker 1>hours with a stranger and then and then how are

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:18.400
<v Speaker 1>you getting back? I mean, yeah, yeah, I guess it

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't really make much sense. No, but I think there

0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 1>have been stories about people taking crazy long that long

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:28.680
<v Speaker 1>but crazy. Yeah. Anyway, Yeah, Caroline's down in Miami. The

0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 1>two of us here are holding down the fort in

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:33.400
<v Speaker 1>the shoot studio back here in Charlotte. Uh. And I

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:37.519
<v Speaker 1>guess it's a pretty big football game going on this weekend. Yeah,

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 1>I think I think there is. I do you have

0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.200
<v Speaker 1>plans for it? I don't. I don't have huge plans.

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.400
<v Speaker 1>I'll probably to be pretty like casually just sit back

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:48.440
<v Speaker 1>and watch the game. I don't know about you. Seem

0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:50.760
<v Speaker 1>like a big Super Bowl party, Yeah, I've I've had

0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:52.400
<v Speaker 1>some in the past. I think this year, I'm I'm

0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 1>laying low. You know, it's ironic because I'm actually excited

0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.440
<v Speaker 1>to watch this. This do a lot for you. Yeah,

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is gonna be a great game. I agree. Yeah,

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 1>I agree. I don't necessarily think before the season started

0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.520
<v Speaker 1>and well, actually I should say Mahomes and the Chiefs

0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:13.160
<v Speaker 1>have always had a lot of sizzle just because he's

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:15.320
<v Speaker 1>the Madden cover. He's like kind of becoming one of

0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:18.760
<v Speaker 1>the young faces of the NFL. Now. Um, and this

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:22.160
<v Speaker 1>Niners team, I mean, they're they're super fun to watch too.

0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:24.480
<v Speaker 1>I Mean I know that offensively they may not be

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:29.200
<v Speaker 1>looked at as explosive and as you know, just video

0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:33.440
<v Speaker 1>game style offense as the Chiefs do. Um, but with

0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:35.160
<v Speaker 1>the way they run the ball and the way that

0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:37.800
<v Speaker 1>defense plays, like, the entire energy of that team has

0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:40.360
<v Speaker 1>just been a ton of fun to watch throughout the

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:42.480
<v Speaker 1>season unless you were a Panther fan. Of course, we

0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:45.360
<v Speaker 1>all experienced the worst of it that day. Um, but

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.320
<v Speaker 1>that's just what this that team has been like. So

0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:49.880
<v Speaker 1>I think this is gonna be an awesome matchup. I mean,

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:51.840
<v Speaker 1>there's been a lot of good Super Bowls over the years,

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:53.960
<v Speaker 1>and this has the potential to be one of those

0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:56.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of classic at least on paper. And you'd hope

0:03:56.480 --> 0:04:00.640
<v Speaker 1>so because you know, especially after you know, no touchdowns

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 1>going to the fourth quarter last year, you would think

0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 1>there might be a couple more this time. Yeah. Yeah,

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:08.600
<v Speaker 1>But I mean again, the with the way that's Niners

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:10.240
<v Speaker 1>defense is playing too, I think that's the that's the

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:13.720
<v Speaker 1>big thing Niners defense. Chief's offense. How's that wanting going

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 1>to go down? I always like to do the opposite. Yeah,

0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.720
<v Speaker 1>like I want to see Niner's offense, Chief's defense. Chiefs

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:21.880
<v Speaker 1>defense has struggled against the run. You know all of

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.520
<v Speaker 1>those run the great running backs from the Niners, and

0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:27.200
<v Speaker 1>we can I think they can control the clock. Yeah,

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 1>you're right, and I think you know that. The two

0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:33.039
<v Speaker 1>head coaches and you read Kyle Shanahan, young guy looking

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.839
<v Speaker 1>for his first, guy has been around forever, still looking

0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:39.159
<v Speaker 1>for his first. There's a lot of choices to be

0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.040
<v Speaker 1>made from a fan standpoint, I who, you want to

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 1>win this game? And we might as well bring in

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:45.400
<v Speaker 1>the person who's down there in Miami to absolutely we

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:47.640
<v Speaker 1>get some some real and and Ma, can we get

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:49.719
<v Speaker 1>Caroline on the phone? Can she? Is she too busy

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 1>or can she available? Could she call in here? I

0:04:51.560 --> 0:05:00.000
<v Speaker 1>think she's available. Let's get her on the horse, Carol,

0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:03.400
<v Speaker 1>can you hear us? Yeah, yeah, I got It's so

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:06.040
<v Speaker 1>busy down here, just you know, so much going on.

0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:08.000
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I think I've got you. I've got you.

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:12.560
<v Speaker 1>We've got a few minutes to spare for us, thank goodness.

0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Just a little bit. I mean that that's just insane

0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.560
<v Speaker 1>down here, in the amount of interview request that I'm getting,

0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:20.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's just it's insane. Yeah, So I'm glad

0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:21.680
<v Speaker 1>you guys caught me when you did. I'm sure the

0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Panthers are just all the rage right now down there

0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:27.520
<v Speaker 1>and everyone just wants to talk. Listen, guys, I'm not

0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:29.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna lie. I've run into a lot of people and

0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:33.719
<v Speaker 1>they're just like, why are you here? Yeah, you know

0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 1>they're not playing? Yeah, yeah, news to me. That's weird.

0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:40.440
<v Speaker 1>I thought the whole team was here, but no, there's

0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 1>actually a couple of teams down here that are not

0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:45.120
<v Speaker 1>actually playing in the game. But does the media cruise

0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:47.000
<v Speaker 1>down here? Of course, we're gonna be doing some stuff

0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:49.800
<v Speaker 1>with David Tepper and Nicole later on this week, so

0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:52.160
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of our big pool and draw to be here.

0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.800
<v Speaker 1>But I've never been to the super Bowl, and this

0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:58.679
<v Speaker 1>this is insane. I've always heard about the big media hooplon.

0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Of course it's all that's on TV for a while,

0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.400
<v Speaker 1>but I mean, this is this is next level with

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:06.680
<v Speaker 1>all the different networks that are set up and just

0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:10.279
<v Speaker 1>how crazy it is. But the big question, though, the

0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 1>big question, and you guys, you know I know you

0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:15.640
<v Speaker 1>guys were kind of talking about earlier. It's this, this

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:17.840
<v Speaker 1>or that? Do you want? Do you want the chief

0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:20.120
<v Speaker 1>you want the forty Niners? Do you want that quarterback?

0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 1>At this quarterback? Do you want? I mean, that's all

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.200
<v Speaker 1>we're here and when you walk around. So since you

0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:26.360
<v Speaker 1>brought me on, I came prepared with a segment. You

0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:29.760
<v Speaker 1>always come prepared. Thank you, Thank you. I think we

0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 1>should do. We're gonna play a good game of this

0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:35.359
<v Speaker 1>or that. Enough you just have to pick one. Okay,

0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 1>So I've got a couple of different scenarios. Let's just

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.920
<v Speaker 1>first go with a very obvious one, the one that

0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:42.640
<v Speaker 1>we're hearing all the time. Do you want the Chiefs

0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 1>or the forty Niners? Who do you have in this game?

0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 1>Make your predictions. I will make you eat your words later.

0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:50.840
<v Speaker 1>I guess that is the big question. Will who do

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:54.920
<v Speaker 1>you get? Niners? Niners? Huh? Yeah, I'm going Niners. Give

0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:58.479
<v Speaker 1>us your quick, like thirty second rationale. I'm going Niners

0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:01.480
<v Speaker 1>because I think in games like this, offenses like the

0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Chiefs sometimes just don't live up to everything that they've

0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:09.040
<v Speaker 1>done in the past on paper. And yeah, I mean

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:11.360
<v Speaker 1>I I like I like defense, and controlling the clock

0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:13.200
<v Speaker 1>and running the ball, and no one has done that

0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:16.080
<v Speaker 1>better than Niners this year. I agree with you. I

0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:19.080
<v Speaker 1>want the Chiefs to win. I think the Niners will win,

0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:23.560
<v Speaker 1>and for the reasons you just said. I trust the

0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:26.200
<v Speaker 1>defense in this sort of moment more than I do

0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:29.520
<v Speaker 1>the offense. Kansas City has started really slow. They've been

0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:31.160
<v Speaker 1>flirting with it, and it's just like, man, is that

0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:32.960
<v Speaker 1>going to catch up to the eventure. You've got to

0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:36.040
<v Speaker 1>think eventually it will. Uh. This Niners team is just

0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:40.200
<v Speaker 1>so sound everywhere. Um, I just don't see a real

0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:42.840
<v Speaker 1>weakness that people might point to Garoppolo and say, if

0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.720
<v Speaker 1>they're down a score late, he can can they really

0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.440
<v Speaker 1>count on him? But I think they can get a

0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.000
<v Speaker 1>lead and maintain it with that defense and run game,

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:52.679
<v Speaker 1>and I think they win. I mean that being said,

0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:56.520
<v Speaker 1>if Casey jumps out to a one nothing lead on

0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.120
<v Speaker 1>the first three drives of the game, you know, I

0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if San Francisco can catch up, Like

0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:03.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they're not. They're not built to catch up.

0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.080
<v Speaker 1>I would agree, But if they can control the ball

0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:10.000
<v Speaker 1>and hold it, and can they do to the Chiefs

0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:12.320
<v Speaker 1>what the Broncos did to the Panthers. I mean, that's

0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:16.000
<v Speaker 1>what we're all thinking. Interesting, Caroline, what about you there

0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:19.880
<v Speaker 1>is Well, there is a certain saying about defense wins championship.

0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:23.520
<v Speaker 1>But I'm actually with I'm with Max on this one.

0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 1>In my heart, I want Andy Reid in the Chiefs,

0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:29.160
<v Speaker 1>but just the realist in me of how this game,

0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.440
<v Speaker 1>how I think it's going to go. I'm going to

0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:36.160
<v Speaker 1>forty Niners, so we think we like it? Proved me wrong,

0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:38.880
<v Speaker 1>That's what I want, Like Chiefs proved me wrong. In

0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:40.280
<v Speaker 1>my heart, I will be so happy and I will

0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:43.720
<v Speaker 1>eat my words of picking the forty Niners. But uh

0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:45.040
<v Speaker 1>that I like it. I kind of like that we

0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:47.480
<v Speaker 1>all went clean sleep. Maybe we've cursed the Niners and

0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:49.240
<v Speaker 1>now that Yeah, and when the Chiefs win, we can't

0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:50.720
<v Speaker 1>make fun of any of us because we all got

0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:53.440
<v Speaker 1>it wrong. We're all in this together, all right. Let's

0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:56.400
<v Speaker 1>do the next one here? Going into season, do you

0:08:56.440 --> 0:09:00.360
<v Speaker 1>want the Carolina Panthers to have the Chief's offense or

0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:04.400
<v Speaker 1>the forty Niners defense? You can only pick one, Max,

0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:09.719
<v Speaker 1>I think I'll take this off of what Matt Rule

0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:12.360
<v Speaker 1>had to say, which was that the defense was the

0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:15.400
<v Speaker 1>thing he wanted to address. First, and with that said,

0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:17.960
<v Speaker 1>I will take the Niners defense. I think in his mind,

0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:21.559
<v Speaker 1>the foundation for a successful team is going to start

0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:23.800
<v Speaker 1>with the defense you can count on week after week.

0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:27.640
<v Speaker 1>As they say, good defense travels. It's something that you

0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:31.719
<v Speaker 1>know regardless of of weather of the venue. You want

0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:33.480
<v Speaker 1>to be able to know that you're going to be

0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:37.199
<v Speaker 1>competitive on that side of the ball and consistent. More so,

0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:39.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe then an offense where sometimes you might have to

0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:41.680
<v Speaker 1>win a game low scoring, sometimes it might be a

0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:44.960
<v Speaker 1>high scoring shootout. I think he wants this team's identity

0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:48.679
<v Speaker 1>to start with with strong defensive football, and that's really

0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:51.559
<v Speaker 1>what this Panthers franchise has always really sort of been

0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:55.320
<v Speaker 1>right at its core. UM. Not to say that it

0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:58.640
<v Speaker 1>can't change, but I I do think that for the

0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:01.520
<v Speaker 1>biggest step this team can take going into next year

0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.160
<v Speaker 1>is getting this defense to improve from where it was

0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:07.000
<v Speaker 1>towards the bottom in a lot of key areas. UM.

0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:09.520
<v Speaker 1>To try to get some real incremental gains on that

0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:11.719
<v Speaker 1>side of the ball, I think I think would help immensely.

0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:14.360
<v Speaker 1>I tend to mostly agree with you, but I will

0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:18.120
<v Speaker 1>take the Chiefs offense just for the sake of how

0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:20.400
<v Speaker 1>much fun that could be. Entertainment fact. I mean, you know,

0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:22.920
<v Speaker 1>like there's there's something to be said for posting a

0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:27.480
<v Speaker 1>ton of offensive highlights every game and just watching watching

0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:30.560
<v Speaker 1>the way that they man handled teams in the playoffs

0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:32.840
<v Speaker 1>this year with just you're not going to stop them,

0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.520
<v Speaker 1>and they just scored five touchdowns in a row, and

0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:39.480
<v Speaker 1>it's like, what like it? There's a there's an excitement

0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:43.120
<v Speaker 1>in a demoralizing way that they just broke defenses down,

0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:45.960
<v Speaker 1>which I would love to see her. Yeah, absolutely, I

0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:48.760
<v Speaker 1>can't argue with that. That's a good one. All right,

0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:51.040
<v Speaker 1>let's go to the next one here. Do you want

0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:57.240
<v Speaker 1>kettle or kelsey? Kittle? Kettle? Was gonna do you call

0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:03.160
<v Speaker 1>the kettle? Well? Laughing, he's thet do we call it? Yeah?

0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:10.920
<v Speaker 1>What is that calling? The way that George? We also

0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:14.880
<v Speaker 1>have Caroline, you'd appreciate this week. We also have like

0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:18.080
<v Speaker 1>three of those mini bags of Skittles right in front

0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.560
<v Speaker 1>of us too, which literally, you know you can't spell

0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:26.480
<v Speaker 1>skittles without kittle. Um, don't really were the products right there? Max? Yeah,

0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:29.240
<v Speaker 1>feel free to send us some sponsorship. Let me fake

0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:34.640
<v Speaker 1>shot me out. But that is that is an amazing question,

0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:41.680
<v Speaker 1>great question. Both. I mean, these tight ends are so

0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:46.000
<v Speaker 1>fun to watch. They're both What I like about it

0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:48.120
<v Speaker 1>is the tight end position is very much always been

0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:50.480
<v Speaker 1>the way Greg Olsen has played it, which is kind

0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:56.920
<v Speaker 1>of like a no nonsense, I'm gonna already, I think already. Um,

0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.320
<v Speaker 1>it's like the exact He's like the antithesis of what

0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:03.120
<v Speaker 1>these guys do. Um. And obviously we love greg Olsen,

0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:07.840
<v Speaker 1>but this like young edgy tight end uh kind of

0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:11.120
<v Speaker 1>fat is is very entertaining. I mean Kittle with like

0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:14.880
<v Speaker 1>the whole wrestling thing and how he just like runs

0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:18.640
<v Speaker 1>through people, um, screaming the entire game. His mic up

0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.840
<v Speaker 1>segments are just hilarious. And Kelsey is super funny too,

0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean in a sort of different way, maybe a

0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:27.520
<v Speaker 1>little bit more like toned down, like cool guy way,

0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:30.680
<v Speaker 1>but he's also like super fun to watch. He and

0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:33.880
<v Speaker 1>Mahomes have this great dynamic. It's really hard to choose.

0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:38.520
<v Speaker 1>I lean Kittle just because of like the little bit

0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:40.360
<v Speaker 1>of like crazy, you know, like this is like a

0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.480
<v Speaker 1>screw loose in there, and I think that just makes

0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:45.160
<v Speaker 1>him a little more fun to watch. I think Kelsey's

0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:48.040
<v Speaker 1>too kind of bro for me, a little too BROI yeah,

0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:51.760
<v Speaker 1>I think Kittle Kittles, he just doesn't care. And I

0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:53.960
<v Speaker 1>really I like that about him. And I think, honestly,

0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:56.199
<v Speaker 1>I think on the field on paper, I think Kittles

0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.080
<v Speaker 1>maybe a little bit thing. I mean, he's a little

0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:00.240
<v Speaker 1>bit better in dude. The way he blocks. I mean

0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:03.320
<v Speaker 1>that's like Kelsey is a fantastic guy out in routes

0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:07.440
<v Speaker 1>and I mean essentially one of the better receiving weapons

0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:10.840
<v Speaker 1>weapons lit alone tight ends um. But kittle Man the

0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:12.960
<v Speaker 1>way he gets after it in the run game. It's

0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.880
<v Speaker 1>like people usually look at tight ends and say, Okay,

0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:17.720
<v Speaker 1>we can pick on this guy and they're not going

0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:19.680
<v Speaker 1>to be able to hold up on the edge. Kittle

0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:21.680
<v Speaker 1>it's the exact opposite. It's like he's going to clear

0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:24.640
<v Speaker 1>the way for this run game, and I mean it

0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:27.199
<v Speaker 1>literally makes him about his completed tight end. I think

0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:30.720
<v Speaker 1>that there is right now, Well, we just kind of

0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.120
<v Speaker 1>said bad things about both of them because I called

0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Kettle Kittle a cattle and Kettle a kittle. And then

0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:40.000
<v Speaker 1>what Kelsey to Bro is that what is that what

0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:43.640
<v Speaker 1>will by? That's what a little too broy for him?

0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:46.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean that that works for some people. I don't

0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:53.040
<v Speaker 1>know Kettle or Bro. That's what I should have that one,

0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:54.960
<v Speaker 1>the one in the last one. It's about food. Max,

0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:57.240
<v Speaker 1>You're a food I'm ready. So are you going to

0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:01.480
<v Speaker 1>go barbecue or sushi? I've had some of the best

0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:04.640
<v Speaker 1>sushi that I've ever had in San Francisco. So are

0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:07.719
<v Speaker 1>you going barbecue? I was wondering what you're going to

0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.880
<v Speaker 1>choose as a San Francisco cuisine that is a good one.

0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Great seafood out there. Um, I'm gonna go Kansas City

0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Barbecue for that one. My experience in Kansas City is

0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:22.760
<v Speaker 1>somewhat limited, but the barbecue seene out there is fantastic,

0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:27.000
<v Speaker 1>and I just feel like it's more specialized. The barbecue

0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 1>in Kansas City is like a more their thing than

0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:31.320
<v Speaker 1>sushi is San Francisco's thing. What do you think? Well,

0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:34.800
<v Speaker 1>I have had barbecue in San Francisco. In San Francisco,

0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:37.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, sorry, barbecue and kents today I went went

0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:41.560
<v Speaker 1>with with Dave Monroe. Actually was really good, but I

0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:45.480
<v Speaker 1>a I liked the Carolina barbecue better, So I'm already

0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:49.600
<v Speaker 1>I already am discriminating against Kansas City barbecue just because

0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:52.280
<v Speaker 1>I think our barbecue is better. So I'm going with

0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:55.960
<v Speaker 1>seafood because I think I think the San Francisco seafood

0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:59.040
<v Speaker 1>just blew away the Atlantic Ocean seafood. It was incredible

0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:03.120
<v Speaker 1>the Atlantic. Sorry, I mean like coming from Charleston, that's

0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.400
<v Speaker 1>saying a lot, but I think San Francisco was better.

0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:11.520
<v Speaker 1>There's there's something I was gonna say. There's like I

0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:13.800
<v Speaker 1>remember reading about this, like, Okay, I'm a big Paul

0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Red guy, Paul read a huge Kansas City, huge chiefs,

0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:21.880
<v Speaker 1>huge chiefe fans, royals, all that, and I remember reading

0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:26.240
<v Speaker 1>about this like famous barbecue sandwich that's from Kansas City

0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:28.680
<v Speaker 1>that Paul Rode is obsessed with, and I read up

0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:32.120
<v Speaker 1>on it and it looks incredible. It's like this onion

0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:36.280
<v Speaker 1>ring barbecue, Like like here's the picture, Caroline unfortunately can't

0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:38.120
<v Speaker 1>show you right now, but Will is getting a look

0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:42.440
<v Speaker 1>at it. Um, you can just imagine how delicious it looks. Um.

0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:45.400
<v Speaker 1>But when Paul Rudd tells me that there's something out

0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:48.480
<v Speaker 1>there that I've got a taste, I'm I'm in, that's

0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:53.520
<v Speaker 1>like say no more so. Um. That's that's partially why

0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:55.320
<v Speaker 1>I give the edge Kansas City too, because I I

0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:59.160
<v Speaker 1>really trust Paul Redd in his his taste. Yeah. How

0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:01.000
<v Speaker 1>good a friends that you guys, are he's never led

0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:04.879
<v Speaker 1>at the end of an experience. They kind of have

0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:07.320
<v Speaker 1>this set up within the convention center. Did you just

0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:24.159
<v Speaker 1>just someone else, but they just want to show off.

0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:26.359
<v Speaker 1>You know, Miami. It's warmed down here in the sun

0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:27.560
<v Speaker 1>and they have a beach and all that, so they

0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:30.560
<v Speaker 1>just kind of set up this little experience. Any are

0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:33.760
<v Speaker 1>there Have you seen any like female celebrities down there,

0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:37.000
<v Speaker 1>anyone besides like the the NFL players, Like usually there's

0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:41.720
<v Speaker 1>some like random cameos from people. Yes, this is actually funny.

0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:46.760
<v Speaker 1>I I don't know who this woman is, Okay, I

0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:51.719
<v Speaker 1>know she's apparently a celebrity because there's a big bust outside.

0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:56.119
<v Speaker 1>I think it's like a um Off brand Kardashian is.

0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:01.000
<v Speaker 1>It's just big bus and it's it's her and her family.

0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:04.119
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know. Uh, there was no like great

0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:06.920
<v Speaker 1>signage about it. But they have an entire bus here outside.

0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:11.520
<v Speaker 1>She was walking around wearing a Neon jump suit. O.

0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:15.919
<v Speaker 1>Um yeah, really, I mean very Miami. I don't know

0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:17.760
<v Speaker 1>I should have. I honestly packed the same point. I

0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:19.560
<v Speaker 1>thought I didn't prepare it on the same day. That

0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:23.360
<v Speaker 1>would have been really years. But she was walking around

0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:25.200
<v Speaker 1>and then of course, like you have all your network talent,

0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:27.320
<v Speaker 1>which is just by the scene throughout throughout the year,

0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:28.679
<v Speaker 1>we see them from time to time, and they're all

0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:31.920
<v Speaker 1>in one place. It's a lot of the network talent um.

0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:36.400
<v Speaker 1>But I haven't. I honestly am terrible at recognizing celebrity.

0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:40.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm awful. I don't recognize them until someone else will

0:20:40.240 --> 0:20:42.600
<v Speaker 1>later on be like, oh, did you see so and so?

0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:44.119
<v Speaker 1>And I was like no, and they're like they were

0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:47.400
<v Speaker 1>right beside you. I'm not. I'm not very not very

0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:49.560
<v Speaker 1>good at that. What would be a good name for

0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:54.280
<v Speaker 1>the off brand Kartashian family, I don't know, that's really mean.

0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:58.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure she's a very nice lady. I just didn't

0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:03.520
<v Speaker 1>such basically, well, you know how like Walmart you can

0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:06.760
<v Speaker 1>get like off brand pop tarts and like toaster tarts

0:21:06.880 --> 0:21:09.600
<v Speaker 1>instead of pop tarts. I wonder what the brand family

0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:14.280
<v Speaker 1>for the Kardashians would be called. I don't know, I

0:21:14.320 --> 0:21:16.120
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I'm sure she was very nice, but that's

0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:18.239
<v Speaker 1>just what came to mind when I saw her. Was

0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:22.000
<v Speaker 1>very made up. You know a lot of makeup, big hair,

0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:26.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of walking around, jumpsuit and like media row where

0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:29.480
<v Speaker 1>you have you know, like beat writers all the way

0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:34.680
<v Speaker 1>to network talent, but then no one is wearing right right, Um,

0:21:34.800 --> 0:21:36.760
<v Speaker 1>do you wanted to really fly under the radar, you know,

0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:40.800
<v Speaker 1>can I I hesitate to ask this because it takes

0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:44.119
<v Speaker 1>this very fun conversation we're having into a somewhat different place.

0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:48.280
<v Speaker 1>But I'm I'm curious, Caroline is, like, is Kobe a

0:21:48.359 --> 0:21:51.199
<v Speaker 1>topic of conversation down there? Like with so many major

0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:54.240
<v Speaker 1>professional athletes all at one place. I just wonder if

0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:57.720
<v Speaker 1>like that is still um kind of like permeating throughout

0:21:57.760 --> 0:21:59.920
<v Speaker 1>like Radio Row, Like do you feel any of that

0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Just it just seems like the entire media world still

0:22:03.440 --> 0:22:06.600
<v Speaker 1>is very much um, kind of coming to grips with

0:22:06.600 --> 0:22:10.320
<v Speaker 1>with what happened. Yeah, it definitely is. Even when you know,

0:22:10.359 --> 0:22:12.800
<v Speaker 1>we we showed up on Tuesday and we just came

0:22:12.840 --> 0:22:14.359
<v Speaker 1>down a radio row kind of get a lay of

0:22:14.400 --> 0:22:16.720
<v Speaker 1>the land and see what was going on, and that

0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:18.919
<v Speaker 1>was a lot of the topic of conversation. We We

0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:24.440
<v Speaker 1>came probably around I would say five o'clock to walk around.

0:22:24.440 --> 0:22:26.480
<v Speaker 1>So that's when a lot of the you know, later

0:22:26.880 --> 0:22:29.520
<v Speaker 1>network shows are starting, and so that's what a lot

0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:31.520
<v Speaker 1>of the topic of conversation that we were seeing on

0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:33.800
<v Speaker 1>the telepropters and that they were talking about. And then

0:22:34.080 --> 0:22:36.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, walking through Radio Row. These are legends that

0:22:36.520 --> 0:22:39.560
<v Speaker 1>are here. There's Hall of Famers here, UM from football,

0:22:39.600 --> 0:22:42.240
<v Speaker 1>but then like I mentioned, there's w w E Stars here,

0:22:42.520 --> 0:22:44.919
<v Speaker 1>UM Ultimate Fighters. I mean that we're we're seeing a

0:22:44.960 --> 0:22:48.600
<v Speaker 1>little bit of every sport here and on this on

0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:51.280
<v Speaker 1>this stage. So we have heard, you know a little

0:22:51.280 --> 0:22:54.680
<v Speaker 1>bit here, and they're just still the shock and disbelief

0:22:54.840 --> 0:22:58.199
<v Speaker 1>that this world did lose Kobe and and and the

0:22:58.240 --> 0:23:00.800
<v Speaker 1>other families. I think that's what's been you know great

0:23:00.880 --> 0:23:02.880
<v Speaker 1>is not just here but everywhere else. Is that you're

0:23:02.920 --> 0:23:05.160
<v Speaker 1>also you know, you are getting to know the other

0:23:05.240 --> 0:23:08.199
<v Speaker 1>families that have gone through this tragic, tragic loss and

0:23:08.800 --> 0:23:11.679
<v Speaker 1>m bringing awareness to you know, the hurt that is

0:23:11.760 --> 0:23:15.760
<v Speaker 1>happening to multiple families right now. And it's it's so

0:23:15.920 --> 0:23:18.720
<v Speaker 1>heartbreaking to hear. But I think everyone's just rallying around

0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:22.040
<v Speaker 1>that that you know, tragedy and talking about it. But certainly,

0:23:22.040 --> 0:23:23.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like you said, on the stage, where there's

0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:26.639
<v Speaker 1>so many athletes here that are at the top of

0:23:26.680 --> 0:23:29.320
<v Speaker 1>their game to lose someone that they look up to.

0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:32.240
<v Speaker 1>We've heard a little bit here and there about that

0:23:32.520 --> 0:23:35.879
<v Speaker 1>UM and and you know, talking about his legacy and

0:23:35.920 --> 0:23:37.520
<v Speaker 1>what he meant to them. UM and then of course

0:23:37.560 --> 0:23:41.159
<v Speaker 1>the networks still circulating that. Yeah, yeah, I mean it

0:23:41.200 --> 0:23:45.280
<v Speaker 1>just seems like everyone who is it has come of

0:23:45.320 --> 0:23:49.320
<v Speaker 1>age in sports in this era looked at Kobe as

0:23:49.359 --> 0:23:52.000
<v Speaker 1>an icon and an idol in so many ways, right,

0:23:52.119 --> 0:23:55.880
<v Speaker 1>just the whole Mamba mentality, the way he went about it. Um,

0:23:56.280 --> 0:23:58.320
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter what sport it was. And I've seen like

0:23:58.359 --> 0:24:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Novak Djokovic was is a guy who looked up in

0:24:01.480 --> 0:24:04.119
<v Speaker 1>the tennis world and obviously a bunch of guys in

0:24:04.160 --> 0:24:08.280
<v Speaker 1>our locker room here Kobe. I mean, um, if you're

0:24:08.280 --> 0:24:10.080
<v Speaker 1>an athlete of any kind, it seems like he had

0:24:10.119 --> 0:24:12.400
<v Speaker 1>a major influence and it permeated everything. You know, I've

0:24:12.400 --> 0:24:14.280
<v Speaker 1>seen so much on social and you know, all of

0:24:14.359 --> 0:24:16.919
<v Speaker 1>these you know, even like today in the hallway, like

0:24:17.400 --> 0:24:19.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, everyone did that thing where you just throw

0:24:19.200 --> 0:24:22.480
<v Speaker 1>the trash and yell Cooke. You know, he permeated our lives.

0:24:22.920 --> 0:24:25.199
<v Speaker 1>Even if you didn't like basketball, you know, it was

0:24:25.240 --> 0:24:28.320
<v Speaker 1>just it was he was. He's a first Namer. He's

0:24:28.320 --> 0:24:31.080
<v Speaker 1>not Kobe Bryant. He's Kobe. Yeah, I mean that's different.

0:24:31.160 --> 0:24:34.760
<v Speaker 1>He's in a whole different sphere. Well, I appreciate the

0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:38.119
<v Speaker 1>inside out out. Yeah. Well, something I thought was interesting

0:24:38.240 --> 0:24:41.080
<v Speaker 1>last night, there was a media party, and so I

0:24:41.119 --> 0:24:43.160
<v Speaker 1>got to catch up with um a friend of mine

0:24:43.200 --> 0:24:45.840
<v Speaker 1>from um l A and she works with the Chargers

0:24:45.880 --> 0:24:49.320
<v Speaker 1>and so they're building where their studio and kind of

0:24:49.320 --> 0:24:53.680
<v Speaker 1>media services is a share kind of business. There's other

0:24:53.680 --> 0:24:57.480
<v Speaker 1>businesses that share that one building. And it was actually, uh,

0:24:57.560 --> 0:25:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Kobe's foundation is in that building against of some of

0:25:00.720 --> 0:25:02.200
<v Speaker 1>what he does. And and she said that, you know,

0:25:02.280 --> 0:25:04.120
<v Speaker 1>she would show up to work at eight o'clock and

0:25:04.280 --> 0:25:06.960
<v Speaker 1>sometimes his car would already be there, and that when

0:25:07.000 --> 0:25:09.320
<v Speaker 1>he was coming in, he was always getting there so early.

0:25:09.320 --> 0:25:12.439
<v Speaker 1>And that stuck with me last night because you know,

0:25:12.480 --> 0:25:14.199
<v Speaker 1>we hear about him getting up and going into the

0:25:14.240 --> 0:25:16.359
<v Speaker 1>gym early, or we hear about him, you know, working

0:25:16.359 --> 0:25:19.080
<v Speaker 1>out and having that MoMA mentality in his life. But

0:25:19.160 --> 0:25:22.400
<v Speaker 1>really what we heard was you know in basketball, but

0:25:22.520 --> 0:25:24.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean she's talking about his foundations and you know

0:25:24.920 --> 0:25:28.480
<v Speaker 1>some of his business. Um that he was there before

0:25:28.600 --> 0:25:30.600
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the crew was there to get some

0:25:30.640 --> 0:25:32.639
<v Speaker 1>things done. And I you know that that stuck with

0:25:32.680 --> 0:25:34.720
<v Speaker 1>me when I left that party last night. Was No,

0:25:34.840 --> 0:25:37.720
<v Speaker 1>it's not just it's not just basketball people, it's not

0:25:37.840 --> 0:25:40.639
<v Speaker 1>just sports people. I Mean, he touched the lives of

0:25:40.680 --> 0:25:43.359
<v Speaker 1>so many people in business and in these foundations and

0:25:43.440 --> 0:25:45.240
<v Speaker 1>in the work that he was doing. I mean, I

0:25:45.240 --> 0:25:48.840
<v Speaker 1>think that's been a special part of hearing all these stories. Um,

0:25:48.880 --> 0:25:51.400
<v Speaker 1>outside of just what he was able to do with sports,

0:25:51.440 --> 0:25:55.440
<v Speaker 1>that's what he did across the board, and that is certainly, um,

0:25:55.480 --> 0:25:59.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, permeating still through you know, this big stage

0:25:59.040 --> 0:26:01.280
<v Speaker 1>that has nothing really to do with basketball. But that's

0:26:01.280 --> 0:26:05.560
<v Speaker 1>why your pory can say, yeah, well said, Well, I

0:26:05.600 --> 0:26:07.800
<v Speaker 1>guess we've taken up enough of your time, Caroline. I

0:26:07.800 --> 0:26:11.760
<v Speaker 1>know there's just there's a lot of sun, sand and um,

0:26:11.880 --> 0:26:14.320
<v Speaker 1>some really hard work that lies ahead of you. So

0:26:14.920 --> 0:26:16.720
<v Speaker 1>we'll let you get to it. I've got to do.

0:26:16.880 --> 0:26:18.760
<v Speaker 1>Are you guys gonna call me back again? Or do

0:26:18.800 --> 0:26:22.480
<v Speaker 1>you think you know? Are we good? Put that phone down?

0:26:22.680 --> 0:26:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I think you you've deserved this. Put us You've deserved it. O, guys,

0:26:28.000 --> 0:26:30.800
<v Speaker 1>thanks for letting us have some fun on this. I'm

0:26:30.840 --> 0:26:33.320
<v Speaker 1>not really on the beach, but I am. I don't know.

0:26:33.480 --> 0:26:36.920
<v Speaker 1>That's up to you, guys. You know it is a podcast.

0:26:36.920 --> 0:26:40.399
<v Speaker 1>It's up to It's up to us. But when I

0:26:40.440 --> 0:26:43.840
<v Speaker 1>come back with a nice pan, just just know I

0:26:43.920 --> 0:26:49.480
<v Speaker 1>was working really hard. Okay, we will alright, sootically. Thanks

0:26:50.960 --> 0:26:54.600
<v Speaker 1>all right, Max, Let's wrap up with one final Super

0:26:54.640 --> 0:26:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Bowl personal memory? What's your? And I think I think

0:26:57.960 --> 0:27:00.680
<v Speaker 1>both of ours are going to be some what's similar

0:27:01.480 --> 0:27:06.560
<v Speaker 1>but different? Well, obviously I was um here covering the

0:27:06.560 --> 0:27:11.800
<v Speaker 1>team when the Panthers went, which was what sticks out

0:27:11.840 --> 0:27:15.439
<v Speaker 1>for me about that. Obviously, the game itself couldn't have

0:27:15.480 --> 0:27:18.680
<v Speaker 1>really gone worse, but the week leading up to it

0:27:18.760 --> 0:27:21.800
<v Speaker 1>was extremely special. And I think what I remember most

0:27:21.840 --> 0:27:24.199
<v Speaker 1>about the whole Super Bowl experience, which really winning the

0:27:24.240 --> 0:27:26.840
<v Speaker 1>NFC championship and being able to say we're going to

0:27:26.840 --> 0:27:29.800
<v Speaker 1>the super Bowl. That was it was It was such

0:27:29.840 --> 0:27:34.919
<v Speaker 1>a euphoric moment um and just knowing that, you know,

0:27:35.160 --> 0:27:37.679
<v Speaker 1>in that locker room after the game, with the guys celebrating,

0:27:37.720 --> 0:27:40.280
<v Speaker 1>they knew they were headed out to San Francisco for

0:27:40.320 --> 0:27:42.800
<v Speaker 1>that Super Bowl. You knew the planning was going to start.

0:27:42.880 --> 0:27:45.640
<v Speaker 1>It was just there was such an excitement to finding out, Okay,

0:27:45.640 --> 0:27:47.040
<v Speaker 1>what was the schedule gonna look like? When are we

0:27:47.040 --> 0:27:49.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna get out there? Okay, we got media day. It's

0:27:49.240 --> 0:27:52.400
<v Speaker 1>just such a whirlwind and the week itself being out

0:27:52.400 --> 0:27:54.760
<v Speaker 1>there with that team, which had as much fun as

0:27:54.760 --> 0:27:58.399
<v Speaker 1>anybody we've really ever seen in the NFL. UM was

0:27:58.440 --> 0:28:01.399
<v Speaker 1>an absolute blast. And the game, of course is always

0:28:01.400 --> 0:28:03.720
<v Speaker 1>going to be a painful memory for people associated with

0:28:03.760 --> 0:28:06.359
<v Speaker 1>the Panthers. UM, but I'll never forget what it was

0:28:06.400 --> 0:28:08.040
<v Speaker 1>like to be out there that week and really to

0:28:08.119 --> 0:28:10.879
<v Speaker 1>watch that team come out of the tunnel for that game.

0:28:11.359 --> 0:28:14.000
<v Speaker 1>You know that where you see the end zone painted

0:28:14.040 --> 0:28:16.199
<v Speaker 1>with panthers and it really starts to like hit that

0:28:16.280 --> 0:28:19.639
<v Speaker 1>this is you know super Bowls are that's the stuff

0:28:19.640 --> 0:28:23.119
<v Speaker 1>of legends. You know that that stuff lives in hidden

0:28:23.160 --> 0:28:27.040
<v Speaker 1>history forever, you know. UM, So just watching that team

0:28:27.080 --> 0:28:30.360
<v Speaker 1>come out, uh, and you know, Steph Curry out there

0:28:30.560 --> 0:28:33.200
<v Speaker 1>with the key panting drunk, all of that before before

0:28:33.200 --> 0:28:38.360
<v Speaker 1>we got started, was truly truly special. UM. And even

0:28:38.400 --> 0:28:40.920
<v Speaker 1>the end, the end result doesn't take all of that away,

0:28:41.000 --> 0:28:44.880
<v Speaker 1>doesn't take away the feelings that were associated with this

0:28:44.960 --> 0:28:48.760
<v Speaker 1>team winning that NFC championship and going to the grandest

0:28:48.760 --> 0:28:50.880
<v Speaker 1>stage of them all. So that that'll always stick with me.

0:28:50.960 --> 0:28:52.280
<v Speaker 1>And it's been cool for me. You know, I came

0:28:52.280 --> 0:28:54.680
<v Speaker 1>here in seventeen and just listening to all of y'all

0:28:54.720 --> 0:28:57.480
<v Speaker 1>stories about you know, the individual moments of the week,

0:28:57.560 --> 0:29:00.320
<v Speaker 1>and you know the way you know you can kind of, um,

0:29:00.360 --> 0:29:02.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, bring it all in and focus on it

0:29:02.120 --> 0:29:04.840
<v Speaker 1>and savor it. I think for me, like I've only

0:29:04.880 --> 0:29:07.080
<v Speaker 1>been to one Super Bowl. I was a pr in

0:29:07.120 --> 0:29:09.120
<v Speaker 1>turn back and oh eight, and I was lucky enough

0:29:09.160 --> 0:29:11.120
<v Speaker 1>to be at one of you know, I think they

0:29:11.200 --> 0:29:12.960
<v Speaker 1>ranked them all. I think this is gonna it will

0:29:12.960 --> 0:29:15.920
<v Speaker 1>always be maybe top ten, maybe top five, you know,

0:29:16.000 --> 0:29:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Cardinals and Steelers and Santonio Holmes is catch and I

0:29:19.160 --> 0:29:20.720
<v Speaker 1>happened to be in the corner of the end zone

0:29:20.800 --> 0:29:23.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe five ten feet away from it. Um, you know

0:29:23.600 --> 0:29:26.840
<v Speaker 1>there were you for James Harrison's I was up in

0:29:26.880 --> 0:29:29.440
<v Speaker 1>the upper deck. Um, so like I had to. I

0:29:29.480 --> 0:29:32.200
<v Speaker 1>was like sitting with the auxiliary media. Essentially passing out

0:29:32.200 --> 0:29:35.080
<v Speaker 1>hot dogs was my job. So yeah, I mean just

0:29:35.120 --> 0:29:36.719
<v Speaker 1>sitting in the upper deck for that. Yeah, I mean

0:29:36.720 --> 0:29:38.800
<v Speaker 1>there was but like even that was back when I

0:29:38.840 --> 0:29:42.080
<v Speaker 1>think there's more like there are more old school cameras

0:29:42.080 --> 0:29:44.560
<v Speaker 1>than cell phones. So like you still had that cool

0:29:44.720 --> 0:29:47.600
<v Speaker 1>flash moment, you know at kick off. I mean it

0:29:47.640 --> 0:29:50.520
<v Speaker 1>was incredible to watch, like because everyone was ready for

0:29:50.560 --> 0:29:52.640
<v Speaker 1>it to like look at all the flashes at kick

0:29:52.640 --> 0:29:55.160
<v Speaker 1>off and that those those sort of things that you'll

0:29:55.200 --> 0:29:57.800
<v Speaker 1>never forget, but being on that field and watching that

0:29:57.840 --> 0:30:00.880
<v Speaker 1>moment and just realizing, oh my god, this is a

0:30:00.960 --> 0:30:03.160
<v Speaker 1>super Bowl moment, like that just happened. This is going

0:30:03.200 --> 0:30:06.040
<v Speaker 1>to always be played forever and forever that that that

0:30:06.240 --> 0:30:11.160
<v Speaker 1>game was incredible, so many just unbelievable moments. It is

0:30:11.200 --> 0:30:13.640
<v Speaker 1>absolutely one of those that's you know, in the argument

0:30:13.680 --> 0:30:16.720
<v Speaker 1>for the greatest Super Bowls of all time. There's just

0:30:16.760 --> 0:30:21.520
<v Speaker 1>something so like amazing about being at the place where

0:30:21.560 --> 0:30:24.600
<v Speaker 1>you literally know the entire world's watching, Like like you're

0:30:24.640 --> 0:30:27.120
<v Speaker 1>when you're like standing on that field or you're in

0:30:27.120 --> 0:30:30.520
<v Speaker 1>that press box, and like you literally know that, we

0:30:30.560 --> 0:30:32.080
<v Speaker 1>know that, we know the world is a pretty big place.

0:30:32.400 --> 0:30:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Everybody focused on where you are at that point in time,

0:30:36.800 --> 0:30:38.400
<v Speaker 1>which is just one of those kind of like out

0:30:38.400 --> 0:30:40.840
<v Speaker 1>of body experiences. Nothing like that. It's kind of hard

0:30:40.880 --> 0:30:44.840
<v Speaker 1>to comprehend. So hopefully this team gets back there soon.

0:30:44.880 --> 0:30:50.480
<v Speaker 1>That'd be fun. It's all about the process, well, process,

0:30:50.520 --> 0:30:52.920
<v Speaker 1>gotta build it back up and look one day to

0:30:53.160 --> 0:30:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Niners are a perfect example too in fourteen, four and

0:30:55.640 --> 0:31:00.000
<v Speaker 1>twelve Super Bowl. Yeah, I get you get the right pieces,

0:31:00.000 --> 0:31:01.600
<v Speaker 1>get the right leadership. You just gotta build it the

0:31:01.640 --> 0:31:03.600
<v Speaker 1>right way, you know, everyone's got to buy in and

0:31:03.600 --> 0:31:05.040
<v Speaker 1>it can be done. I mean, that's the beauty of

0:31:05.040 --> 0:31:08.600
<v Speaker 1>the NFL, honestly, is that these kind of stories that

0:31:08.760 --> 0:31:11.120
<v Speaker 1>they're not fairy tales like this, This can happen, and

0:31:11.160 --> 0:31:14.800
<v Speaker 1>it happens a lot quicker than NBA or anything else. Really.

0:31:14.800 --> 0:31:16.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you can turn it around quick, but you

0:31:16.400 --> 0:31:18.520
<v Speaker 1>got to do it the right way. Yep. You got

0:31:18.520 --> 0:31:20.960
<v Speaker 1>the right leadership in place, and that's hopefully, you know,

0:31:21.040 --> 0:31:24.320
<v Speaker 1>Dave Tepper believes he's done that. And you know, this

0:31:25.040 --> 0:31:26.600
<v Speaker 1>season is going to start in earnest here. As soon

0:31:26.640 --> 0:31:29.000
<v Speaker 1>as the super Bowl comes and goes, everyone's record goes

0:31:29.000 --> 0:31:31.360
<v Speaker 1>back to zero and zero, as they say, so it

0:31:31.400 --> 0:31:34.520
<v Speaker 1>begins again, and obviously we're all anxious for that. I

0:31:34.560 --> 0:31:37.120
<v Speaker 1>think we did a pretty decent job without Caroline again. Yeah,

0:31:37.360 --> 0:31:38.640
<v Speaker 1>it was nice to have her part of the show.

0:31:38.720 --> 0:31:40.680
<v Speaker 1>This time. We didn't leave her out completely like we

0:31:40.720 --> 0:31:42.720
<v Speaker 1>did when we talked to Pete them all about that rule.

0:31:42.880 --> 0:31:44.760
<v Speaker 1>She She had a She had a great, great part

0:31:44.760 --> 0:31:47.680
<v Speaker 1>in today's show. Even even though we're all a little bit.

0:31:47.680 --> 0:31:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Mat shifted in as well. I thought Matt brought us

0:31:49.360 --> 0:31:52.880
<v Speaker 1>strong today. This this made up see how he does

0:31:52.920 --> 0:31:55.400
<v Speaker 1>in post made up for last week? Yeah, what happened

0:31:55.440 --> 0:31:58.560
<v Speaker 1>last week? We had a better we had a better week,
