We'll get back to you 53 00:02:12,548 --> 00:02:14,628 Speaker 2: in a second. Let's take it with Jane Slater and 54 00:02:14,668 --> 00:02:18,908 Speaker 2: Omar Ruiz who are stationed ever so politely, and their 55 00:02:18,948 --> 00:02:21,228 Speaker 2: respective spots in the Bay Area. They're a little farther 56 00:02:21,308 --> 00:02:23,748 Speaker 2: south than Kyle because they're adjacent to the team hotels 57 00:02:23,748 --> 00:02:26,268 Speaker 2: and where the teams are having media availability. Jane, I 58 00:02:26,348 --> 00:02:28,148 Speaker 2: started with you on the New England Patriots get us 59 00:02:28,188 --> 00:02:28,828 Speaker 2: back on track. 60 00:02:30,148 --> 00:02:31,908 Speaker 7: Well, it is day two in Santa Clara and it's 61 00:02:31,908 --> 00:02:34,388 Speaker 7: a day off for the players, Jamie, but it's not 62 00:02:34,428 --> 00:02:36,628 Speaker 7: a day off for the head coach. In fact, true 63 00:02:36,668 --> 00:02:39,148 Speaker 7: man of the people, he is up early doing busting 64 00:02:39,188 --> 00:02:41,668 Speaker 7: with the boys, with our guys Taylor Luwan and Will 65 00:02:41,708 --> 00:02:44,148 Speaker 7: Compton on the other side of this. So he is 66 00:02:44,228 --> 00:02:47,548 Speaker 7: up talking to these guys about the game. You know, 67 00:02:47,588 --> 00:02:50,108 Speaker 7: he is twenty one years removed from his last Super 68 00:02:50,148 --> 00:02:52,348 Speaker 7: Bowl and so you don't need a lot of motivation 69 00:02:52,388 --> 00:02:54,468 Speaker 7: if you're one of his players about what it takes 70 00:02:54,628 --> 00:02:57,388 Speaker 7: to actually get that Lombardi Trophy. But I did talk 71 00:02:57,388 --> 00:02:59,788 Speaker 7: to one of his staffers about that turnaround from four 72 00:02:59,868 --> 00:03:02,348 Speaker 7: and thirteen last year to the Super Bowl. I was 73 00:03:02,348 --> 00:03:04,188 Speaker 7: told the answer was belief. He gave a lot of 74 00:03:04,228 --> 00:03:07,428 Speaker 7: guy second chances and a roster reshached by key veteran editions, 75 00:03:07,428 --> 00:03:10,748 Speaker 7: including Stefan Diggs, and Matt Collins and yes, Matt Collins. 76 00:03:10,828 --> 00:03:14,388 Speaker 7: Last night, predictably Fairfoot. The stafford described them as quote 77 00:03:14,428 --> 00:03:17,228 Speaker 7: two of the most unselfish guys I've ever been around. 78 00:03:17,708 --> 00:03:20,788 Speaker 7: Dick says he hasn't changed either, but the perception has. 79 00:03:20,868 --> 00:03:23,588 Speaker 7: He told us, the narrative around him was built on snapshots, 80 00:03:23,708 --> 00:03:24,588 Speaker 7: not the full picture. 81 00:03:24,908 --> 00:03:29,908 Speaker 8: People look at certain instances or certain plays or certain 82 00:03:30,068 --> 00:03:33,548 Speaker 8: syl on and start forming an opinion about a person 83 00:03:33,588 --> 00:03:35,628 Speaker 8: that they don't know personally. I'm saying, if you knew 84 00:03:35,628 --> 00:03:37,348 Speaker 8: me personally, you know I love a game of football 85 00:03:37,388 --> 00:03:39,668 Speaker 8: and I just always wanted to win. And I don't 86 00:03:39,668 --> 00:03:41,348 Speaker 8: care about how people feel about that. And it might 87 00:03:41,428 --> 00:03:43,148 Speaker 8: rub a a lot of people the wrong way when 88 00:03:43,148 --> 00:03:45,788 Speaker 8: people just want to win, but it never came from 89 00:03:45,788 --> 00:03:47,908 Speaker 8: a selfish place. Always just wanted to win. I don't 90 00:03:47,908 --> 00:03:48,828 Speaker 8: care how it shook out. 91 00:03:50,708 --> 00:03:50,868 Speaker 3: You know. 92 00:03:50,908 --> 00:03:52,388 Speaker 7: It's crazy, though, When I did talk to one of 93 00:03:52,428 --> 00:03:55,628 Speaker 7: those staffords about Stefan Diggs, he said he is literally 94 00:03:55,908 --> 00:03:59,308 Speaker 7: one of reiterating the most unselfish players that he's ever had, 95 00:03:59,308 --> 00:04:00,868 Speaker 7: And he said, if you had told him that fifteen 96 00:04:00,948 --> 00:04:03,268 Speaker 7: years ago, he wouldn't have believed you. Based on some 97 00:04:03,348 --> 00:04:05,468 Speaker 7: of the media reports, but look what he's. 98 00:04:05,308 --> 00:04:06,028 Speaker 3: Done for this team. 99 00:04:06,148 --> 00:04:09,268 Speaker 7: Eighty five receptions this season over one thousand yards. The 100 00:04:09,348 --> 00:04:11,388 Speaker 7: Patriots and this is hard to believe haven't had a 101 00:04:11,388 --> 00:04:14,908 Speaker 7: wide receiver go for over one thousand yards since twenty eighteen, 102 00:04:14,988 --> 00:04:17,508 Speaker 7: and Juliet Edelman Diggs has been clutched for them in 103 00:04:17,548 --> 00:04:20,308 Speaker 7: the postseason. They're going to need him again against the Seahawks, 104 00:04:20,348 --> 00:04:23,108 Speaker 7: although in his five career matchups against them, guys, not 105 00:04:23,228 --> 00:04:25,668 Speaker 7: one touchdown yet. For more on the Seahawks side, let's 106 00:04:25,708 --> 00:04:29,828 Speaker 7: go to my buddy Omar Ruiz up early in the 107 00:04:29,868 --> 00:04:30,428 Speaker 7: morning with me. 108 00:04:32,668 --> 00:04:33,308 Speaker 3: Hey janeyeaw. 109 00:04:33,308 --> 00:04:36,268 Speaker 9: The Seahawks are off today too, although Mike McDonald, head coach, 110 00:04:36,308 --> 00:04:39,788 Speaker 9: and a few other players will have media availability later today. 111 00:04:39,828 --> 00:04:42,868 Speaker 9: One of the cool storylines for me in this Super Bowl, 112 00:04:42,908 --> 00:04:46,028 Speaker 9: having covered so many of those legion of Boom teams 113 00:04:46,108 --> 00:04:50,148 Speaker 9: last decade, Cam Chancellor Richard Sherman, is a connection between 114 00:04:50,148 --> 00:04:55,148 Speaker 9: those teams and this dark side defense, the current Seahawks defense. 115 00:04:55,308 --> 00:04:59,788 Speaker 9: Jaron Reed, current defensive lineman, was drafted in twenty sixteen, 116 00:04:59,868 --> 00:05:02,268 Speaker 9: so he shared the locker room with so many of 117 00:05:02,308 --> 00:05:04,148 Speaker 9: those great players who played in a couple of Super 118 00:05:04,148 --> 00:05:06,988 Speaker 9: Bowl and one of course, Super Bowl forty eight, and 119 00:05:07,028 --> 00:05:09,508 Speaker 9: I asked Reid what it means to him to have 120 00:05:09,588 --> 00:05:13,348 Speaker 9: the support of those players Richard Sherman, Cam Chancellor saw 121 00:05:13,388 --> 00:05:15,868 Speaker 9: so many of those guys at the NFC Championship game, 122 00:05:16,148 --> 00:05:18,668 Speaker 9: and Reid said, it means everything to them. He said 123 00:05:18,708 --> 00:05:22,268 Speaker 9: he knows the way that those guys demanded accountability from 124 00:05:22,348 --> 00:05:25,468 Speaker 9: one another on the field, That's why they were so great. 125 00:05:25,508 --> 00:05:28,388 Speaker 9: And he says this team shares many of those same 126 00:05:28,508 --> 00:05:32,068 Speaker 9: characteristics why they've been able to achieve such great success, 127 00:05:32,068 --> 00:05:34,468 Speaker 9: and they hope to finish this one off the way 128 00:05:34,508 --> 00:05:36,828 Speaker 9: that one did at Super Bowl forty eight.

I'm old and I'm learned. 196 00:08:27,868 --> 00:08:29,988 Speaker 7: But I will say our conversations are a little different. 197 00:08:30,028 --> 00:08:32,588 Speaker 7: I had Will Compton and Taylor the Wan here this morning, 198 00:08:32,628 --> 00:08:34,508 Speaker 7: and ours was based around weather and what does your 199 00:08:34,628 --> 00:08:37,348 Speaker 7: generator look like? Because we've been dealing with weather, so 200 00:08:37,908 --> 00:08:40,588 Speaker 7: ours is a little different. We decided if you were 201 00:08:40,628 --> 00:08:43,828 Speaker 7: placing bets on our conversations, we kind of veered to 202 00:08:43,948 --> 00:08:45,148 Speaker 7: other topics this morning. 203 00:08:45,268 --> 00:08:48,468 Speaker 2: That's true adulthood when you go into generator talk. Well done, Jane, 204 00:08:48,468 --> 00:08:49,268 Speaker 2: thank you very much. 205 00:08:49,308 --> 00:08:49,668 Speaker 10: Omar. 206 00:08:50,508 --> 00:08:53,748 Speaker 2: All right, it's been ten minutes of Kyle being tethered 207 00:08:53,828 --> 00:08:57,108 Speaker 2: to a chair referencing the flag game that's happening tonight. 208 00:08:57,108 --> 00:09:01,828 Speaker 2: For the Pro Bowl Games and media member discussion. Super 209 00:09:01,908 --> 00:09:04,068 Speaker 2: Bowl sixty is being played on Sunday, and of course 210 00:09:04,108 --> 00:09:06,188 Speaker 2: this is the tenth time two opponents will play each 211 00:09:06,188 --> 00:09:08,908 Speaker 2: other a rematch, if you will, from a previous Super Bowl. 212 00:09:08,908 --> 00:09:11,708 Speaker 2: Patriots took down the Seahawks in Super Bowl forty nine 213 00:09:11,748 --> 00:09:15,028 Speaker 2: in dramatic fashion, goal line dramatic fashion, if you will. 214 00:09:15,548 --> 00:09:18,908 Speaker 2: Here's the thing about the two coaches. Mike McDonald and 215 00:09:18,948 --> 00:09:22,028 Speaker 2: Mike Rabel, both coaches, hitting the podiums for Opening Night 216 00:09:22,068 --> 00:09:24,868 Speaker 2: after spending time on stage with our very own Scott Hansen. 217 00:09:25,108 --> 00:09:27,108 Speaker 2: Here's what they had to say about their team's mindset 218 00:09:27,188 --> 00:09:28,868 Speaker 2: that got them to the big game. 219 00:09:30,148 --> 00:09:32,428 Speaker 11: I think what makes our group special and this is 220 00:09:32,468 --> 00:09:35,668 Speaker 11: just independent to us, but we talk about twelve is one. 221 00:09:36,148 --> 00:09:37,468 Speaker 11: It's the synergy of our group. 222 00:09:38,268 --> 00:09:38,588 Speaker 3: And so. 223 00:09:40,388 --> 00:09:43,908 Speaker 11: When you play together and you really try to create 224 00:09:43,948 --> 00:09:46,708 Speaker 11: it like you're playing against more than eleven guys, Well, 225 00:09:47,708 --> 00:09:49,588 Speaker 11: to me, that that's what we want our fingerprint to 226 00:09:49,588 --> 00:09:52,668 Speaker 11: be and our identity and the guys that bought in 227 00:09:52,708 --> 00:09:56,028 Speaker 11: on that. You know, it's about really playing for the 228 00:09:56,068 --> 00:09:59,188 Speaker 11: guy next to you, and man, our guys do that 229 00:09:59,268 --> 00:10:01,308 Speaker 11: every day and it's and when you do that, you 230 00:10:01,308 --> 00:10:03,068 Speaker 11: can create something really special. I feel like that's where 231 00:10:03,068 --> 00:10:03,388 Speaker 11: we're headed. 232 00:10:03,508 --> 00:10:03,828 Speaker 3: I mean, we. 233 00:10:03,868 --> 00:10:06,428 Speaker 12: Believed all along, and we believed and we said this 234 00:10:06,548 --> 00:10:08,708 Speaker 12: that just sometimes you have to believe things before you 235 00:10:08,708 --> 00:10:13,948 Speaker 12: can see them, and sometimes things are out there a 236 00:10:13,988 --> 00:10:15,948 Speaker 12: little too far, and you just focus on each day 237 00:10:15,988 --> 00:10:18,028 Speaker 12: and focus on what it is that you can do 238 00:10:18,068 --> 00:10:19,708 Speaker 12: to help the team each and every day, and my 239 00:10:19,868 --> 00:10:23,268 Speaker 12: role and the player's role and their staff. So I 240 00:10:23,268 --> 00:10:26,228 Speaker 12: don't think there was one particular moment. It was just 241 00:10:26,308 --> 00:10:29,348 Speaker 12: continue to get better and don't look too far ahead. 242 00:10:31,188 --> 00:10:33,028 Speaker 2: Something Kyle does on this show gives me a lot 243 00:10:33,028 --> 00:10:35,708 Speaker 2: of inks, as he likes to label the Super bowls 244 00:10:35,828 --> 00:10:39,668 Speaker 2: as boring or exciting or it really stresses me out. 245 00:10:39,708 --> 00:10:41,748 Speaker 2: We're going to make our Super Bowl picks on Friday, 246 00:10:41,948 --> 00:10:44,348 Speaker 2: and frankly, every pick I ever make is just based 247 00:10:44,348 --> 00:10:45,788 Speaker 2: and I just want a good game. I just want 248 00:10:45,788 --> 00:10:47,548 Speaker 2: a close game. I don't want it to be a blowout. 249 00:10:47,708 --> 00:10:50,748 Speaker 2: I want it to be fun and exciting. Isaiah, what 250 00:10:50,948 --> 00:10:53,828 Speaker 2: is giving you angst about Super Bowl sixty. Is there 251 00:10:53,828 --> 00:10:56,388 Speaker 2: a scenario that is making you go back and forth 252 00:10:56,428 --> 00:10:59,108 Speaker 2: as you continue to mole on the one game left 253 00:10:59,108 --> 00:10:59,708 Speaker 2: in the season. 254 00:10:59,988 --> 00:11:02,308 Speaker 13: Yes, very much so, especially being somebody who was born 255 00:11:02,348 --> 00:11:06,188 Speaker 13: and raised in Seattle, Washington. Obviously my heart is for Seattle, 256 00:11:06,228 --> 00:11:08,268 Speaker 13: but I also play for the Patriots. But I am 257 00:11:08,268 --> 00:11:10,028 Speaker 13: not naive enough to think that this is gonna be 258 00:11:10,068 --> 00:11:11,948 Speaker 13: a one sided game. A lot of people think that 259 00:11:12,148 --> 00:11:14,748 Speaker 13: Seattle is gonna be the dominant force. When you look 260 00:11:14,788 --> 00:11:16,948 Speaker 13: at this position group by position group, I think that 261 00:11:16,988 --> 00:11:19,988 Speaker 13: you will find that these teams are really competitive when 262 00:11:20,028 --> 00:11:22,708 Speaker 13: you look at their actually when they put them side 263 00:11:22,748 --> 00:11:26,068 Speaker 13: by side. The thing that gives me what I like 264 00:11:26,108 --> 00:11:28,188 Speaker 13: to call the bubble gups, gives me a little anxious 265 00:11:28,428 --> 00:11:32,108 Speaker 13: the fact that Sam Donald is the X factor for me. 266 00:11:33,188 --> 00:11:36,548 Speaker 13: Both of these quarterbacks are fully capable. Both these quarterbacks 267 00:11:36,548 --> 00:11:38,628 Speaker 13: are smart. They put their teams in great positions to win. 268 00:11:39,028 --> 00:11:42,388 Speaker 13: But only one of these quarterbacks has multiple games with 269 00:11:42,468 --> 00:11:46,188 Speaker 13: multiple interceptions, and that is Sam Donald. And he makes 270 00:11:46,228 --> 00:11:49,828 Speaker 13: me a little bit nervous because usually if he throws 271 00:11:49,868 --> 00:11:51,868 Speaker 13: you one, what do you say, on. 272 00:11:51,868 --> 00:11:54,508 Speaker 3: Defense man'sign gonna throw you enough, You're gonna throw you 273 00:11:54,588 --> 00:11:55,148 Speaker 3: another one. 274 00:11:55,228 --> 00:11:58,748 Speaker 13: So for that reason, I'm a little bit nervous because 275 00:11:59,268 --> 00:12:02,668 Speaker 13: it seems to snowball with Sam Donald. He's had three 276 00:12:02,748 --> 00:12:05,268 Speaker 13: multiple interception games, two of those of which we're going 277 00:12:05,308 --> 00:12:08,628 Speaker 13: against the Rams. Two interceptions for interceptions against those guys, 278 00:12:08,628 --> 00:12:10,588 Speaker 13: and he had another two interception game, Drake, May you 279 00:12:10,628 --> 00:12:12,508 Speaker 13: know how many he has zero? 280 00:12:13,468 --> 00:12:15,748 Speaker 3: So for that reason, it gives me a little nervous. 281 00:12:15,868 --> 00:12:21,348 Speaker 4: Isaiah, Isaiah, Isaiah, I echo that sentiment about Sam. Now 282 00:12:21,428 --> 00:12:23,748 Speaker 4: when I look at Sam Darnold, he is from a 283 00:12:23,788 --> 00:12:27,228 Speaker 4: defender's standpoint, he is the variable out of all the 284 00:12:27,308 --> 00:12:30,268 Speaker 4: variables that I can manipulate the most. For me, what 285 00:12:30,388 --> 00:12:32,628 Speaker 4: makes me nervous? For me, what makes me a little 286 00:12:32,668 --> 00:12:36,708 Speaker 4: hesitant is an e word. It's called experience. Experience on 287 00:12:36,748 --> 00:12:38,828 Speaker 4: a part of Josh McDaniels, an experience on a part 288 00:12:38,828 --> 00:12:41,828 Speaker 4: of Mike Vrabel. Together combined, they have over a decade 289 00:12:42,188 --> 00:12:45,068 Speaker 4: of Super Bowl experience. Now, I'm an Eagle scout and 290 00:12:45,148 --> 00:12:47,108 Speaker 4: we've went on a lot of camping trips up through 291 00:12:47,108 --> 00:12:47,828 Speaker 4: the mountains in. 292 00:12:47,788 --> 00:12:49,588 Speaker 3: Hawaii for multiple days. 293 00:12:49,908 --> 00:12:52,788 Speaker 4: And there's a lot more confidence that I have in 294 00:12:52,828 --> 00:12:55,588 Speaker 4: my scout leader when he's been on that trail before. 295 00:12:55,868 --> 00:12:57,908 Speaker 4: He knows where to go, where not to go, what 296 00:12:58,108 --> 00:13:01,148 Speaker 4: places to camp in, what places not to camp in. Now, 297 00:13:01,228 --> 00:13:03,668 Speaker 4: on vice versa, I've been on some trips where my 298 00:13:03,748 --> 00:13:08,468 Speaker 4: scout leader had incredible survival skills, but he never was 299 00:13:08,508 --> 00:13:09,708 Speaker 4: on that trail before, and. 300 00:13:09,708 --> 00:13:11,548 Speaker 3: There's a little angster. 301 00:13:11,308 --> 00:13:12,948 Speaker 4: Of like, are you going to take us down a 302 00:13:13,028 --> 00:13:15,268 Speaker 4: path we shouldn't go? Are we going to take a 303 00:13:15,348 --> 00:13:16,908 Speaker 4: right when we should have took a left? Are we 304 00:13:16,948 --> 00:13:19,148 Speaker 4: going to camp in a place where we won't get 305 00:13:19,188 --> 00:13:22,228 Speaker 4: flooded in? That's how I see these two teams. I 306 00:13:22,228 --> 00:13:24,268 Speaker 4: see a team that has a lot of experience as 307 00:13:24,308 --> 00:13:27,348 Speaker 4: far as a head coach and the offensive coordinator are concern. 308 00:13:27,708 --> 00:13:29,068 Speaker 3: And I see another team. 309 00:13:28,868 --> 00:13:32,108 Speaker 4: That has all of the abilities as the explosive aspect 310 00:13:32,148 --> 00:13:34,988 Speaker 4: of the game, but yet there is a lack of 311 00:13:35,068 --> 00:13:37,788 Speaker 4: experience in compared to the other teams. So that's kb 312 00:13:37,908 --> 00:13:40,628 Speaker 4: what gives me a little bit. I don't know, you know, 313 00:13:40,668 --> 00:13:42,868 Speaker 4: it gives me that feeling. How do we get this 314 00:13:42,948 --> 00:13:44,468 Speaker 4: far into our relationship. I didn't know you were an 315 00:13:44,508 --> 00:13:47,508 Speaker 4: Eagle scout. That's a huge honor. That's a very very 316 00:13:47,548 --> 00:13:49,388 Speaker 4: distinguished position, Matt. 317 00:13:49,868 --> 00:13:52,028 Speaker 1: You just drive Imagine if I just told you out 318 00:13:52,028 --> 00:13:55,068 Speaker 1: of nowhere that I'm a professional magician. 319 00:13:54,588 --> 00:13:56,268 Speaker 3: And I work gigs on the weekend once't you'd be. 320 00:13:56,188 --> 00:13:58,268 Speaker 1: Like, what, Yeah, that's like when I just hearing that 321 00:13:58,308 --> 00:13:58,988 Speaker 1: you're an eagle scout. 322 00:13:58,988 --> 00:14:03,028 Speaker 3: That's incredible. Be prepared, my brother, love you. That's a 323 00:14:03,028 --> 00:14:04,348 Speaker 3: scout modeled. 324 00:14:04,988 --> 00:14:06,588 Speaker 1: And if you need someone to make a little fire 325 00:14:06,628 --> 00:14:07,668 Speaker 1: there in studio, you could. 326 00:14:07,508 --> 00:14:08,708 Speaker 3: Probably do it together. 327 00:14:09,228 --> 00:14:11,028 Speaker 5: I can do what I do all the time. 328 00:14:11,068 --> 00:14:14,028 Speaker 3: I'm sure you do. I'm sure you do. I love it. Well, listen, 329 00:14:14,268 --> 00:14:14,988 Speaker 3: I feel this. 330 00:14:15,188 --> 00:14:17,788 Speaker 1: I'm not an eagle scout, not even a boy scout ever, 331 00:14:18,148 --> 00:14:20,388 Speaker 1: but I do feel this same way as Manti does. 332 00:14:20,468 --> 00:14:22,188 Speaker 3: Is that I just look at Seattle and. 333 00:14:22,148 --> 00:14:24,708 Speaker 1: They're so impressive, and they just look so fast and 334 00:14:24,748 --> 00:14:27,628 Speaker 1: so aggressive and so intense, and it's like, how do 335 00:14:27,668 --> 00:14:30,628 Speaker 1: you pick against them? It makes me uncomfortable to pick 336 00:14:30,628 --> 00:14:33,108 Speaker 1: against Mike Rabel. I've just seen this a lot of times. 337 00:14:33,148 --> 00:14:36,348 Speaker 1: I've seen where the team appears to be better quote unquote, 338 00:14:36,388 --> 00:14:39,268 Speaker 1: either on film or the eye test or on paper, 339 00:14:39,788 --> 00:14:41,788 Speaker 1: and the other side just has this crazy coach is 340 00:14:41,828 --> 00:14:43,748 Speaker 1: not going to be denied. I remember the Cult Saint 341 00:14:43,828 --> 00:14:46,108 Speaker 1: Super Bowl when everyone was on Peyton and the Colts 342 00:14:46,108 --> 00:14:47,148 Speaker 1: and Sean Payton said, not. 343 00:14:47,108 --> 00:14:48,508 Speaker 3: Today, not happening. 344 00:14:48,908 --> 00:14:51,788 Speaker 1: I mean I remember that again with Peyton, the Peyton Broncos. 345 00:14:51,948 --> 00:14:54,828 Speaker 1: Everyone picked them and win that game, and Seattle defense 346 00:14:54,868 --> 00:14:58,748 Speaker 1: said not today, and I just there's so many tangibles 347 00:14:59,068 --> 00:15:03,108 Speaker 1: for Seattle, and tangibles are the best, but the intangibles 348 00:15:03,108 --> 00:15:06,428 Speaker 1: of Mike Rabel and they're winning record and they're underdogs 349 00:15:06,428 --> 00:15:08,868 Speaker 1: all the stuff. That stuff scares me because I want 350 00:15:08,868 --> 00:15:09,748 Speaker 1: to get this pick right. 351 00:15:09,868 --> 00:15:10,548 Speaker 3: I really do. 352 00:15:10,948 --> 00:15:13,068 Speaker 1: Last year I picked the Eagles they wanted to blow out. 353 00:15:13,068 --> 00:15:14,628 Speaker 3: It felt good. It felt good to get the picks right. 354 00:15:14,588 --> 00:15:16,508 Speaker 3: So much Superowl pick I want to get to and Ry. 355 00:15:16,508 --> 00:15:18,508 Speaker 1: I do not want to blow this so as I'm 356 00:15:18,548 --> 00:15:21,468 Speaker 1: starting to pick Seattle just because Mike, God, they look good, 357 00:15:22,388 --> 00:15:25,028 Speaker 1: I'm very uncomfortable about picking against Mike Brabel. I am, 358 00:15:25,068 --> 00:15:28,228 Speaker 1: and I like Mike McDonald I do, but like he 359 00:15:28,588 --> 00:15:31,868 Speaker 1: has not had as many accomplishments in his career yet 360 00:15:31,908 --> 00:15:34,428 Speaker 1: as Mike Rabel, certainly as the player. It's not existent 361 00:15:34,468 --> 00:15:37,468 Speaker 1: with Mike and then as a coach. So we'll see 362 00:15:37,508 --> 00:15:39,628 Speaker 1: the Mike McDonald winning the Super Bowl would be a 363 00:15:39,828 --> 00:15:42,908 Speaker 1: very fun story, But the Mike Rabel one winning it 364 00:15:42,948 --> 00:15:44,748 Speaker 1: when you picked against him, you feel like a very 365 00:15:44,748 --> 00:15:45,428 Speaker 1: stupid story. 366 00:15:45,948 --> 00:15:47,588 Speaker 2: Kyle, If you had to pick one of the mics 367 00:15:47,588 --> 00:15:49,748 Speaker 2: who's coaching in Super Bowl sixty, which one is more 368 00:15:49,828 --> 00:15:50,908 Speaker 2: likely to be an Eagle scout. 369 00:15:54,468 --> 00:15:55,468 Speaker 3: I think McDonald. 370 00:15:55,908 --> 00:15:58,508 Speaker 1: I think Rabel is like to just too busy getting 371 00:15:58,548 --> 00:16:01,468 Speaker 1: lifts in and like just he's out and causing trouble 372 00:16:01,628 --> 00:16:04,348 Speaker 1: and like just he's chasing girls and like you know, 373 00:16:04,588 --> 00:16:06,548 Speaker 1: maybe shoving kids and lockers back in the day when 374 00:16:06,548 --> 00:16:09,148 Speaker 1: those accept the kind of I think it's Mike McDonald. 375 00:16:10,068 --> 00:16:15,228 Speaker 1: McDonald seems like very calm, very smart, very very articulate. 376 00:16:15,388 --> 00:16:17,828 Speaker 1: Like I just think he would have the temperament. But Manti, 377 00:16:17,868 --> 00:16:18,988 Speaker 1: you are a resident Eagle Scout. 378 00:16:19,108 --> 00:16:20,148 Speaker 3: No, I agree with that. 379 00:16:20,188 --> 00:16:22,188 Speaker 4: I think coach Mike McDonald would be that one. Coach 380 00:16:22,228 --> 00:16:25,308 Speaker 4: Mike Vrable looks the one who's like tenderfoot, class life 381 00:16:25,308 --> 00:16:27,148 Speaker 4: star rank, Like what is. 382 00:16:27,148 --> 00:16:28,748 Speaker 3: All of that? You got all of those badges on 383 00:16:28,788 --> 00:16:30,148 Speaker 3: your sash. I ain't going to do it. I want 384 00:16:30,188 --> 00:16:31,348 Speaker 3: to put badges on my helmet. 385 00:16:31,468 --> 00:16:33,068 Speaker 4: I want to put those stickers on my helmet and 386 00:16:33,148 --> 00:16:35,188 Speaker 4: run out there on kickoff and just smack somebody. 387 00:16:35,348 --> 00:16:38,228 Speaker 3: So I see, I definitely agree Mi State does. 388 00:16:38,468 --> 00:16:44,668 Speaker 2: Yeah, those guys will be prepared on Sunday.

I don't know if this is a silly 403 00:17:22,428 --> 00:17:24,268 Speaker 2: question to ask you. Do you talk to people next 404 00:17:24,268 --> 00:17:26,428 Speaker 2: to your seat on the airplane or you headphones? 405 00:17:26,468 --> 00:17:27,108 Speaker 3: Don't talk to him? 406 00:17:27,428 --> 00:17:29,388 Speaker 10: No, I don't know. I do not. 407 00:17:30,748 --> 00:17:34,748 Speaker 14: Yeah, and I'll give you a little hint. I'm usually 408 00:17:34,748 --> 00:17:37,788 Speaker 14: not in twenty six a So from match standpoint, that's 409 00:17:37,828 --> 00:17:38,348 Speaker 14: a plus. 410 00:17:39,908 --> 00:17:40,468 Speaker 3: That is. 411 00:17:40,668 --> 00:17:44,068 Speaker 14: And I did not realize that Fort Lauderdale is a 412 00:17:44,188 --> 00:17:48,228 Speaker 14: Jet Blue hubb Hub Kennedy and then Fort Ladale. 413 00:17:48,228 --> 00:17:49,748 Speaker 10: So fortunate. I got an. 414 00:17:49,668 --> 00:17:53,388 Speaker 14: Eight pm plane from Fort Laudadale coming in from LA 415 00:17:53,788 --> 00:17:55,988 Speaker 14: and I landed at eleven o'clock at night. So I 416 00:17:56,068 --> 00:17:57,788 Speaker 14: got a huge break because I got a chance to 417 00:17:57,828 --> 00:18:00,508 Speaker 14: stay in South Florida, although we froze, I shouldn't even 418 00:18:00,508 --> 00:18:03,268 Speaker 14: complain about the weather, but in South Florida for the 419 00:18:03,308 --> 00:18:05,508 Speaker 14: extra day before I came up here to get ready 420 00:18:05,548 --> 00:18:06,028 Speaker 14: for this game. 421 00:18:06,148 --> 00:18:08,308 Speaker 10: But no, I do not chat. 422 00:18:07,828 --> 00:18:10,548 Speaker 2: Do not chat, but you chat about everything else, like, 423 00:18:10,628 --> 00:18:13,668 Speaker 2: for example, the people who are favoring the Seahawks heavily 424 00:18:14,068 --> 00:18:16,348 Speaker 2: to go up against the Patriots this weekend. Where do 425 00:18:16,388 --> 00:18:18,988 Speaker 2: you stand on the fact that the Patriots are underdogs 426 00:18:19,028 --> 00:18:20,468 Speaker 2: as we approach Super Bowl sixty. 427 00:18:21,108 --> 00:18:22,348 Speaker 10: Well, I think it's the right move. 428 00:18:22,508 --> 00:18:25,508 Speaker 14: I think that if Rabel will use this great greatly 429 00:18:25,548 --> 00:18:28,508 Speaker 14: because he knows how to maneuver and you motivate, So 430 00:18:28,668 --> 00:18:30,228 Speaker 14: this is going to be a big selling point. 431 00:18:30,228 --> 00:18:31,188 Speaker 10: Nobody thinks we can win. 432 00:18:31,308 --> 00:18:34,068 Speaker 14: Lousey's schedule figur out all sorts of breaks in the 433 00:18:34,108 --> 00:18:38,428 Speaker 14: AFC playoffs with obviously no Nicks, you know, C. J. Stroud, 434 00:18:39,028 --> 00:18:41,988 Speaker 14: the charge of offensive line. They all think we shouldn't 435 00:18:42,028 --> 00:18:44,628 Speaker 14: be here. We're playing in the JV. Hey use that 436 00:18:44,708 --> 00:18:47,828 Speaker 14: like you wouldn't believe, But I would be really surprised. 437 00:18:47,868 --> 00:18:49,228 Speaker 10: And Seattle doesn't win the game. 438 00:18:49,668 --> 00:18:52,748 Speaker 14: They've peaking, They've played really well the last three four 439 00:18:52,788 --> 00:18:56,148 Speaker 14: weeks San Francisco twice in the Rams, Donald I think 440 00:18:56,148 --> 00:18:57,468 Speaker 14: has passed every big test. 441 00:18:57,548 --> 00:18:59,148 Speaker 10: Now again, you never know. 442 00:18:59,268 --> 00:19:01,668 Speaker 14: In these games, the quarterback, you know, gets doing a 443 00:19:01,708 --> 00:19:03,228 Speaker 14: headlight look and you. 444 00:19:03,148 --> 00:19:04,268 Speaker 10: Know, like that could happen. 445 00:19:04,468 --> 00:19:07,388 Speaker 14: But I mean, if he plays decently, and I would 446 00:19:07,468 --> 00:19:09,788 Speaker 14: expect him to, I don't see how Seattle. 447 00:19:09,788 --> 00:19:11,548 Speaker 10: I don't think how see how Seattle loses. 448 00:19:11,668 --> 00:19:13,908 Speaker 14: I mean, you know they have they got a good 449 00:19:13,988 --> 00:19:18,348 Speaker 14: kicking game, they got great special teams. Their defense is excellent. 450 00:19:18,788 --> 00:19:22,468 Speaker 14: You know, the receivers, wonderful walkers running the ball well, 451 00:19:23,348 --> 00:19:25,148 Speaker 14: not too far from home. They got out of the 452 00:19:25,228 --> 00:19:28,588 Speaker 14: air at NFC West, the best division in football. I mean, 453 00:19:28,708 --> 00:19:31,948 Speaker 14: I would be surprised. Now listen, it's four and a half. 454 00:19:32,268 --> 00:19:35,188 Speaker 14: These games are goofy. We've you know that we thought 455 00:19:35,228 --> 00:19:37,868 Speaker 14: the Patriots are going to beat the Rams. Twenty five 456 00:19:37,988 --> 00:19:40,788 Speaker 14: years ago. You know, nobody thought the Jets are going 457 00:19:40,868 --> 00:19:44,228 Speaker 14: to win against the Colts. They were eighteen point underdog. 458 00:19:44,668 --> 00:19:47,108 Speaker 14: Nobody thought the Chiefs the next year would beat Minnesota, 459 00:19:47,148 --> 00:19:50,268 Speaker 14: and they killed them twenty three seven. So all for so, 460 00:19:50,428 --> 00:19:53,788 Speaker 14: you never know. But I'll tell you something, I do 461 00:19:53,988 --> 00:20:00,308 Speaker 14: believe in Farmer too. And Seattle lost the should. 462 00:19:59,988 --> 00:20:02,548 Speaker 10: Have won, and I think they win this one. 463 00:20:02,708 --> 00:20:04,828 Speaker 14: Hard for a franchise, who win tune ro against the 464 00:20:04,828 --> 00:20:05,628 Speaker 14: Saint franchise. 465 00:20:05,988 --> 00:20:08,148 Speaker 10: I'll take the Seahawks, mad Dog. 466 00:20:08,188 --> 00:20:10,188 Speaker 4: I got to ask you, brother, because we talked about 467 00:20:10,188 --> 00:20:12,668 Speaker 4: the same thing on this show in regards to this matchup. 468 00:20:12,708 --> 00:20:14,628 Speaker 4: And you know the Seattle Seahawks and all of those 469 00:20:14,628 --> 00:20:17,068 Speaker 4: weapons there and how they look like the complete team. 470 00:20:17,628 --> 00:20:19,948 Speaker 4: But then you look at the Patriots and you consider 471 00:20:20,068 --> 00:20:23,388 Speaker 4: Mike Rabel and Josh McDaniels and the experience in this game, 472 00:20:23,868 --> 00:20:25,508 Speaker 4: and that kind of gives you a little bit of 473 00:20:25,948 --> 00:20:28,028 Speaker 4: it makes you nervous a little bit. Do they give 474 00:20:28,068 --> 00:20:30,468 Speaker 4: you that send that same type of feeling of man? 475 00:20:30,548 --> 00:20:33,468 Speaker 4: The experience could be a positive thing. 476 00:20:33,348 --> 00:20:35,588 Speaker 10: To get them. You hit it absolutely. I think you 477 00:20:35,668 --> 00:20:36,588 Speaker 10: hit it right on ahead. 478 00:20:36,628 --> 00:20:40,588 Speaker 14: I mean, Rabel is an excellent, excellent listen McDonald's done 479 00:20:40,548 --> 00:20:42,548 Speaker 14: a great job too. I mean, let's not go but 480 00:20:42,668 --> 00:20:44,548 Speaker 14: this is a different kind of game. It takes forever 481 00:20:44,588 --> 00:20:48,308 Speaker 14: to play it. Halftime thirty minutes, the pregame goes on, 482 00:20:48,348 --> 00:20:51,148 Speaker 14: and on three point thirty on Sunday afternoon, takes forever 483 00:20:51,228 --> 00:20:53,508 Speaker 14: to get here. You know, all the hype this week, 484 00:20:53,548 --> 00:20:55,828 Speaker 14: all the media. This is a different kind of game, 485 00:20:56,268 --> 00:20:58,268 Speaker 14: and you know some teams can handle that a little bit. 486 00:20:58,308 --> 00:20:59,908 Speaker 14: You know, Mark Olivia had a lot of trouble handling that. 487 00:21:00,028 --> 00:21:02,708 Speaker 14: Let's be honest. I mean major is who's handling that? 488 00:21:03,188 --> 00:21:05,148 Speaker 14: And I think Rabel will hand that very well. The 489 00:21:05,148 --> 00:21:08,908 Speaker 14: guy's a great coach. I mean Tennessee is still ruining 490 00:21:08,948 --> 00:21:10,628 Speaker 14: the day they let him go with dumbest thing in 491 00:21:10,668 --> 00:21:14,468 Speaker 14: the world. Patriots, you know, perfect scenario with May May. 492 00:21:14,508 --> 00:21:17,508 Speaker 14: I like he can run, he'll play well in the game. 493 00:21:18,228 --> 00:21:21,428 Speaker 14: You know, digs is excellent. They have a very underrated defense. 494 00:21:21,868 --> 00:21:24,548 Speaker 14: The running game is pretty good. You know that drive 495 00:21:24,548 --> 00:21:27,188 Speaker 14: at the start of the third quarter against Denver to 496 00:21:27,308 --> 00:21:30,748 Speaker 14: start late against Houston. They can run when they have to. 497 00:21:30,868 --> 00:21:34,148 Speaker 14: They can run the ball. They'd be competitive, you know, 498 00:21:34,588 --> 00:21:36,348 Speaker 14: I would you know they'd be competitive. You want to 499 00:21:36,348 --> 00:21:37,908 Speaker 14: take the four and a half points, go ahead? I'm 500 00:21:37,948 --> 00:21:39,308 Speaker 14: not sure if a lot to talk about that. Here 501 00:21:39,348 --> 00:21:41,348 Speaker 14: are our favor of little network. But if you want 502 00:21:41,348 --> 00:21:42,748 Speaker 14: to take the four and a half points, go ahead. 503 00:21:42,988 --> 00:21:45,068 Speaker 14: But if you're looking at it, just for where these 504 00:21:45,108 --> 00:21:47,788 Speaker 14: two teams are now, and you can't get around the 505 00:21:47,868 --> 00:21:50,228 Speaker 14: fact that the Patriots where they have at seventeen points 506 00:21:50,628 --> 00:21:53,748 Speaker 14: in the playoffs. You can't get away from the fact 507 00:21:53,788 --> 00:21:56,028 Speaker 14: that with Donald playing this well, it. 508 00:21:56,108 --> 00:21:58,188 Speaker 10: Appears to be a Seattle year. He really does. 509 00:21:58,588 --> 00:22:00,268 Speaker 13: All right, man, I got to ask you, man, this 510 00:22:00,468 --> 00:22:03,988 Speaker 13: Seahawks defense has been self proclaimed as the dark Side, 511 00:22:04,228 --> 00:22:06,388 Speaker 13: is the best defense that they've had since the Legion 512 00:22:06,428 --> 00:22:08,468 Speaker 13: of Boom. What is it that you've seen that you 513 00:22:08,828 --> 00:22:11,428 Speaker 13: like and what should the Patriots be most concerned about 514 00:22:11,468 --> 00:22:12,628 Speaker 13: about this dominant defense? 515 00:22:13,788 --> 00:22:16,148 Speaker 14: You know, the fact that they create a lot of turnovers. 516 00:22:17,308 --> 00:22:19,228 Speaker 14: You know, listen, the Rams had their numbers. So let's 517 00:22:19,228 --> 00:22:22,788 Speaker 14: throw the Rams out for a minute. That secondary is wonderful. 518 00:22:23,588 --> 00:22:26,428 Speaker 14: You've had trouble running McCaffrey, culinner run the ball. They 519 00:22:26,468 --> 00:22:29,068 Speaker 14: didn't run the ball great two weeks ago. So they're 520 00:22:29,068 --> 00:22:31,028 Speaker 14: not going to stop the running game, and they're going 521 00:22:31,068 --> 00:22:33,228 Speaker 14: to make that quarterback have to win the game. And 522 00:22:33,348 --> 00:22:36,228 Speaker 14: their defense is excellent. Now, the Rams had their number twice. 523 00:22:36,348 --> 00:22:39,108 Speaker 14: You know, they scored twenty seven last week in thirty 524 00:22:39,188 --> 00:22:42,108 Speaker 14: seven on that Thursday night game on December eighteenth, So 525 00:22:42,788 --> 00:22:45,788 Speaker 14: I would think the Patriots to win the game are probably. 526 00:22:45,548 --> 00:22:46,748 Speaker 10: Going to have to rely on me to make a 527 00:22:46,788 --> 00:22:47,268 Speaker 10: lot of plaints. 528 00:22:47,668 --> 00:22:49,908 Speaker 1: Chris you've come to the super Bowl city on super 529 00:22:49,908 --> 00:22:52,548 Speaker 1: Bowl Week for decades. I've done many of myself, and 530 00:22:52,628 --> 00:22:55,548 Speaker 1: over the years, I've realized that socially, when you're in 531 00:22:55,628 --> 00:22:57,748 Speaker 1: the city, you run into people that you know, you 532 00:22:57,868 --> 00:23:00,068 Speaker 1: kind of know, and there's really only four things that 533 00:23:00,188 --> 00:23:00,988 Speaker 1: are said when you. 534 00:23:01,068 --> 00:23:02,708 Speaker 3: Talk to them. I have a list of them, and 535 00:23:02,748 --> 00:23:03,668 Speaker 3: I want your thoughts on this. 536 00:23:03,708 --> 00:23:06,028 Speaker 1: When you run into people during super Bowl Week, you 537 00:23:06,148 --> 00:23:07,788 Speaker 1: ask them when did you get in? 538 00:23:08,508 --> 00:23:09,188 Speaker 3: Where they got you? 539 00:23:09,308 --> 00:23:11,708 Speaker 1: Staying you're going to the game, and then you say, 540 00:23:11,788 --> 00:23:14,188 Speaker 1: now got to get you on the pod, Chris, do 541 00:23:14,308 --> 00:23:16,628 Speaker 1: these resonate with you?

It's 656 00:28:17,308 --> 00:28:20,708 Speaker 5: not my job. But I look, I will say it 657 00:28:20,948 --> 00:28:29,628 Speaker 5: was very, very reminiscent of the Seahawks Packers NFC championship 658 00:28:29,748 --> 00:28:32,588 Speaker 5: game from a number of years ago. I'm sure you 659 00:28:32,668 --> 00:28:38,108 Speaker 5: guys discussed that. And uh so my nickname now for 660 00:28:38,348 --> 00:28:42,748 Speaker 5: Caleb Williams is new Russell Wilson, New Russell Wilson. 661 00:28:44,588 --> 00:28:46,948 Speaker 4: Okay, okay, so I'm going to help you out. Okay, 662 00:28:47,028 --> 00:28:50,268 Speaker 4: let's not dwell on the pass. Let's look towards the future. 663 00:28:50,588 --> 00:28:52,948 Speaker 4: How do you feel about your Packers moving moving forward? 664 00:28:52,988 --> 00:28:55,868 Speaker 4: Obviously some changes are made with the defensive coordinator. Are 665 00:28:55,908 --> 00:28:57,788 Speaker 4: there any changes that you want to make? 666 00:28:59,548 --> 00:29:03,748 Speaker 5: Look, we were hit by a number of injuries there 667 00:29:03,948 --> 00:29:07,628 Speaker 5: during the middle of the year to the line, obviously 668 00:29:07,988 --> 00:29:12,388 Speaker 5: Mica going out. I mean, I think when he was signed, 669 00:29:12,468 --> 00:29:15,148 Speaker 5: we felt like we had sort of the last piece 670 00:29:15,268 --> 00:29:18,748 Speaker 5: there on that defense and able to put a little 671 00:29:18,788 --> 00:29:21,908 Speaker 5: more pressure on the quarterback. Obviously, run stop was not 672 00:29:22,188 --> 00:29:25,588 Speaker 5: ideal for a while, so you know, let's maybe get 673 00:29:25,628 --> 00:29:29,228 Speaker 5: another beefy guy there in the middle. And I feel 674 00:29:29,308 --> 00:29:35,188 Speaker 5: really positive. Their skill players are great and I'm ready. 675 00:29:35,228 --> 00:29:38,308 Speaker 5: And look, there's no other team from the NFC North 676 00:29:38,348 --> 00:29:42,988 Speaker 5: that's playing this weekend. I'm optimistic they'll be back on 677 00:29:43,068 --> 00:29:43,708 Speaker 5: top next year. 678 00:29:45,668 --> 00:29:47,588 Speaker 3: You should be. That's the luxury you guys have as 679 00:29:47,628 --> 00:29:50,108 Speaker 3: Packers fans. You always bounce back. You always matter. 680 00:29:50,268 --> 00:29:53,348 Speaker 1: But Brian, speaking of always, we can make a full 681 00:29:53,388 --> 00:29:57,108 Speaker 1: coffee table book based purely on conversations we've had with 682 00:29:57,228 --> 00:29:58,748 Speaker 1: you over the years about Aaron Rodgers. 683 00:29:58,828 --> 00:30:01,188 Speaker 3: Like we've done it for years and it's. 684 00:30:01,108 --> 00:30:03,948 Speaker 1: Always something different and something new, And here we are 685 00:30:04,468 --> 00:30:05,268 Speaker 1: another chapter. 686 00:30:05,788 --> 00:30:07,868 Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy, of all people, your. 687 00:30:07,708 --> 00:30:10,308 Speaker 1: Old buddy is now the head coach of the Pittsburgh 688 00:30:10,308 --> 00:30:13,988 Speaker 1: Steelers with Aaron Rodgers at his just his late as crossroads. 689 00:30:14,588 --> 00:30:16,788 Speaker 3: What is your gut do you think that he is 690 00:30:16,868 --> 00:30:17,468 Speaker 3: coming back? 691 00:30:17,628 --> 00:30:20,108 Speaker 1: And Brian, how do you think Mike McCarthy having the job. 692 00:30:20,028 --> 00:30:21,228 Speaker 3: Affects that decision for Aaron. 693 00:30:22,108 --> 00:30:26,788 Speaker 5: I have no idea about that. I have no idea 694 00:30:26,908 --> 00:30:32,708 Speaker 5: how what their relationship is like right now. I'm not 695 00:30:32,828 --> 00:30:36,388 Speaker 5: privy to that information. I look, this is just me. 696 00:30:37,308 --> 00:30:40,828 Speaker 5: I thought at the end of the year that I 697 00:30:41,028 --> 00:30:45,228 Speaker 5: was a little nostalgic feeling like I was. I was 698 00:30:45,308 --> 00:30:48,828 Speaker 5: probably watching his last game now I'm not so sure. 699 00:30:49,308 --> 00:30:53,628 Speaker 5: I'm not so sure, so I I really, I really 700 00:30:53,748 --> 00:30:56,908 Speaker 5: don't know any any more than you do what he's 701 00:30:56,988 --> 00:30:59,788 Speaker 5: going to do. I'd love to see him play another year, 702 00:30:59,868 --> 00:31:02,308 Speaker 5: whether it's with Pittsburgh or someone else. I know he 703 00:31:02,348 --> 00:31:05,388 Speaker 5: had a great time there in Pittsburg. He loves the 704 00:31:05,508 --> 00:31:09,388 Speaker 5: fans there and the experience that he had there. Obviously 705 00:31:10,108 --> 00:31:13,268 Speaker 5: he wanted to go play with Tomlin and that won't 706 00:31:13,348 --> 00:31:17,348 Speaker 5: happen there or probably anywhere this year. So I don't know. 707 00:31:17,708 --> 00:31:21,748 Speaker 5: We'll see. I'm excited to see, and I suspect he'll 708 00:31:21,828 --> 00:31:25,708 Speaker 5: take his time and make a decision here and the 709 00:31:25,828 --> 00:31:26,988 Speaker 5: next nine months. 710 00:31:29,588 --> 00:31:32,508 Speaker 13: Ran Something else that we're not so sure about is 711 00:31:32,588 --> 00:31:35,428 Speaker 13: who is going to win this year's Super Bowl? Super 712 00:31:35,468 --> 00:31:37,588 Speaker 13: Bowl sixty is obviously this week. We're talking about it 713 00:31:37,628 --> 00:31:40,068 Speaker 13: every single day. You don't have a dog in a fight, 714 00:31:40,548 --> 00:31:42,268 Speaker 13: but we need to know who. Do you feel as 715 00:31:42,308 --> 00:31:44,428 Speaker 13: if going to walk away with your Lombardi Trophy? 716 00:31:45,068 --> 00:31:53,428 Speaker 5: See, here's the here's the deal. Here. I, through God's 717 00:31:53,508 --> 00:31:57,268 Speaker 5: good graces and my ability to hit a golf ball 718 00:31:57,468 --> 00:32:01,388 Speaker 5: pretty pretty badly, I've gotten to know so many people. 719 00:32:01,428 --> 00:32:04,508 Speaker 5: I mean that you brought up Aaron That's where my 720 00:32:04,628 --> 00:32:08,188 Speaker 5: relationships started with him, and I have made a lot 721 00:32:08,268 --> 00:32:12,468 Speaker 5: of amazing relationships over the years through golf and other things. 722 00:32:12,668 --> 00:32:16,388 Speaker 5: And I will tell you this is so hard for 723 00:32:16,508 --> 00:32:19,588 Speaker 5: me to say, guys this. I've spent the better part 724 00:32:19,788 --> 00:32:25,188 Speaker 5: of a couple of decades really disliking the Patriots. I mean, 725 00:32:25,428 --> 00:32:29,388 Speaker 5: really having a passionate distaste in my mouth for the Patriots. 726 00:32:29,868 --> 00:32:33,468 Speaker 5: But I will say this to two things. One is 727 00:32:35,468 --> 00:32:40,828 Speaker 5: they somehow feel different. They feel underdoggy, they feel young, 728 00:32:41,308 --> 00:32:46,228 Speaker 5: they feel not as glib maybe or something as the 729 00:32:46,468 --> 00:32:53,588 Speaker 5: as the old Patriots melable. I think they're likable now 730 00:32:53,788 --> 00:32:59,548 Speaker 5: now unfortunately their fans, their fans are still unlikeable and 731 00:32:59,788 --> 00:33:04,548 Speaker 5: the entire world that's a problem. But my dog the 732 00:33:04,628 --> 00:33:08,548 Speaker 5: fight is Mike Rabel. I've gotten the opportunity over the 733 00:33:08,668 --> 00:33:11,908 Speaker 5: last oh call it six years to get to know 734 00:33:13,268 --> 00:33:17,028 Speaker 5: coach up at the American Century in Lake Tahoe and 735 00:33:17,188 --> 00:33:21,548 Speaker 5: other places. He is such a great guy. He is 736 00:33:21,668 --> 00:33:24,908 Speaker 5: impossible if you get to know him not to root for. 737 00:33:25,028 --> 00:33:27,748 Speaker 5: I mean, I started rooting for the Tennessee Titans the 738 00:33:27,868 --> 00:33:30,348 Speaker 5: last few years there were there. And that said, that 739 00:33:30,628 --> 00:33:34,188 Speaker 5: makes no sense. So I feel like I do have 740 00:33:34,268 --> 00:33:38,068 Speaker 5: a dog, a big, big dog named Mike Rabel And 741 00:33:38,228 --> 00:33:41,348 Speaker 5: I think the Patriots are going to surprise people again, 742 00:33:41,388 --> 00:33:42,548 Speaker 5: and I think they're going to win the game. 743 00:33:42,668 --> 00:33:44,988 Speaker 3: Yeah, Mike is a very lovable figure. 744 00:33:45,348 --> 00:33:47,628 Speaker 4: You're also won two as well, Brian, not only for 745 00:33:47,788 --> 00:33:50,868 Speaker 4: what you do in film and radio, TV, all of that, 746 00:33:51,308 --> 00:33:52,868 Speaker 4: but what you do with Rampagan. 747 00:33:52,988 --> 00:33:54,428 Speaker 3: You're partnering up with RAMP again. 748 00:33:54,548 --> 00:33:57,988 Speaker 4: Last year you were the CFO manually entering fifty thousand 749 00:33:58,068 --> 00:33:58,988 Speaker 4: expense reports. 750 00:33:59,028 --> 00:34:01,268 Speaker 3: What are you guys doing together this year? 751 00:34:02,028 --> 00:34:05,548 Speaker 5: Well, so it was seven d me in a box 752 00:34:05,668 --> 00:34:08,588 Speaker 5: on the streets of New York City trying to do 753 00:34:08,748 --> 00:34:13,108 Speaker 5: what RAMP did, which was processed seven hundred thousand transactions 754 00:34:13,188 --> 00:34:16,868 Speaker 5: in a day. That was that was interesting.
