Speaker 1: on Fox only on Fox I did. We did a
Speaker 1: three hour show last night for the opening night, and
Speaker 1: then I had to do something hang on all the
Speaker 1: networks with Andy Reid, Nicks Criani. Today we had our
Speaker 1: own Fox Media Day, so we had to do that. Tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I'm torn a party, Glazer Paluza, which I was started

Speaker 1: it glazer Paluza. I started in two thousand seven here
Speaker 1: in Arizona at my house just to piss off like
Speaker 1: strayan an TONI no other reason. And then, yeah, we
Speaker 1: have a lot of Fox stuff that we have obviously
Speaker 1: had to do a chief feature for the pregame show.
Speaker 1: We have rehearsals and we have our five hour pregame
Speaker 1: show game all that, and then I'm flying home one
Speaker 1: day to l A. I got a house here in Arizona.
Speaker 1: I just moved back to l A and I'm repacking
Speaker 1: my stuff and I'm getting in a plane to Thailand
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go training the jungles with some friends
Speaker 1: out there and moy Thai and do a lot of
Speaker 1: mental health work. I got these monks out there that
Speaker 1: I work with, and I go to this place to
Speaker 1: like really kind of clean up and recharge my system.
Speaker 1: And I'm pretty excited. Yeah. I meant Thailand is like
Speaker 1: the land of a thousand smiles. There such happy people
Speaker 1: out there and forgot like me with fight background ago
Speaker 1: and training in Thailand, training the jungles is pretty damn
Speaker 1: cool for me. We could do this whole podcast just
Speaker 1: asking about your trip. I'm gonna try to try to
Speaker 1: restrain myself and ask you about last night because you're
Speaker 1: an opening night. You were hosting it. You said three hours, right,
Speaker 1: and that's a big show, and you're talking to players,
Speaker 1: are talking to coaches. First of all, for those who
Speaker 1: didn't watch, can you walk us through the news and
Speaker 1: everything you know today about Patrick mahomes ankle way better
Speaker 1: than last week? Right after the game he or their
Speaker 1: divisional game, we got hurt. Right after the game, he
Speaker 1: started rehabbing and then next two days they got him
Speaker 1: running in a pool. The day after that they got
Speaker 1: him running an altargy, which is a treadmill that pulls
Speaker 1: you off the ground. More so you don't put your
Speaker 1: full weight on the treadmill. And then they got him
Speaker 1: on the field like this, dude, there's certain guys are
Speaker 1: just superhuman, are just great healers. He's not a great healer.
Speaker 1: He's a superhuman healer. There's an injury that would sideline
Speaker 1: most especially a running quarterback two to four weeks and
Speaker 1: there was no And it was funny if do you
Speaker 1: remember him when you originally hurt it, and he was
Speaker 1: kind of throwing a fit on the sideline and the
Speaker 1: reason why is Andy Reid had told him, you're not
Speaker 1: going back in the game unless you get X rays.
Speaker 1: And he's like, no, no, I'm not doing it. I'm
Speaker 1: not doing He's like, I'm good. I'm good. Like nope,
Speaker 1: I was working the sideline game within reach Patrick and
Speaker 1: I told Jerry afterwards, because there's only so much you
Speaker 1: can report live it was the national radio broadcast and
Speaker 1: how to kind of be careful. But I said it
Speaker 1: looked like an intervention of the enemy. And I mean
Speaker 1: Matt Aggy and Coach Read just saying but they're just like,
Speaker 1: we're not letting me play unless you have a trace.
Speaker 1: And he was like, no, I'm good. I'm fine, I'm good,
Speaker 1: and they're like no, So they have to protect him
Speaker 1: from himself because there were some guys who were just different.
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is different. Although I'm sure you appreciate it,
Speaker 1: but you're not super shocked against the Bengals to see
Speaker 1: that performance, it wasn't. I mean, you appreciate it for
Speaker 1: what it was, but no, he's when all said and done,
Speaker 1: he'll be talked about in the category of the Bradys
Speaker 1: and the Jordan's and Lebrons and the Tiger Woods and
Speaker 1: people like that. To Serena Williams, yeah, and I imagine
Speaker 1: when you're when you're there covering and trying to get
Speaker 1: infot like, is this the hardest week to get info?
Speaker 1: This has to be the most tight lip that everyone is,
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to injuries and stuff like that. No,
Speaker 1: I'm still pretty good, like you know, you know, as
Speaker 1: far as like my My relationships are for everything, right,
Speaker 1: So it's not like superow week people clam up them
Speaker 1: and you have relationships. You have relationships, and my relationships
Speaker 1: on both teams are really really strong. Andy Read and
Speaker 1: I are very close, have been for years and years
Speaker 1: and years. And then bunch of eagle players, and I've
Speaker 1: trained eagle players for a long time, and you were
Speaker 1: in the gym, you were on b Cole performance in
Speaker 1: our gym. When I first got Lane Johnson, when I
Speaker 1: started trying to Lane Johnson right, he he lived with
Speaker 1: me and my son for four months. The funniest thing was,
Speaker 1: this is back in the day. My son was like
Speaker 1: ten years old, and obviously I'm sure I'm five seven,
Speaker 1: and Lane comes into our house and he sees out
Speaker 1: the too short you know, me and my son, and
Speaker 1: he goes, damn, I feel like Gandolf in this house.
Speaker 1: I remember Lane's first day and unbreakable, and I think
Speaker 1: I was finishing uh and he was working out. I
Speaker 1: was in the bathroom like washing my hands, and obviously
Speaker 1: this giant human being comes rushing into the bathroom to
Speaker 1: throw up. And I walked out like that guy, I
Speaker 1: don't know if he's all right. And the seven more
Speaker 1: times later and then he's been the best offensive ring
Speaker 1: in football pretty much. But what's the difference between and
Speaker 1: everybody else. Everybody else they would throw up, they wouldn't
Speaker 1: come back. He stayed for four months and came back
Speaker 1: another year, and another year, came back last year after
Speaker 1: after one of his surgeries, his actle surgery, and the
Speaker 1: first time we put pressure on it and we got
Speaker 1: back some of our training. And our whole thing with
Speaker 1: him is, you know, with all our our players, try
Speaker 1: to give him that fighter mentality and a lot of
Speaker 1: that fighter mentality is it's your honor to fight hurt, right,
Speaker 1: Randy Gator is my partner in this right And Randy
Speaker 1: was this guy you know, he goes and breaks his
Speaker 1: arm against Gonzaga and she's like, oh man, I got
Speaker 1: around before they stop it. I better go in his
Speaker 1: fight now and slams him on his face and breaks
Speaker 1: his nose and finish his fight. But he went in
Speaker 1: against Brock Lesner with a torn elbow and I was like,
Speaker 1: hey man, maybe we pull out of this fight. And
Speaker 1: he's like, what do you mean pull out of the fight.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, Randy, we haven't been able to lift
Speaker 1: your fucking tiny like you're not what Brock is, you know, monster,
Speaker 1: and let's go in full strength and he's like, are
Speaker 1: you out of your mind today? That's the whole point, Like,
Speaker 1: could you imagine if I could beat him at even
Speaker 1: if I could just slam him at That's what makes
Speaker 1: me a warrior? No, and he just starts yelling at me.
Speaker 1: I'm like, whoa whoa slow down cowboy. But that's what
Speaker 1: the same thing with Lane. Manage your honor to fight hurt.
Speaker 1: And that's since he tore his growing Make no mistake,
Speaker 1: Lane Johnson is not playing on a like a pollar
Speaker 1: that he tore his groin. It's torn which needs surgery. Man.
Speaker 1: What he did to boast it last week on one
Speaker 1: leg was ridiculous. But before every single game, I talked
Speaker 1: to him like he remember this gerald to fight hurt.
Speaker 1: And all these players, the great ones, Ronde Barbera who
Speaker 1: never he had the longest active streak of players of
Speaker 1: consecutive game played when when he was playing, he's a hundred,
Speaker 1: you know, seventy nine pounds, and he had the longest
Speaker 1: active streak of players have consecutive getting played when he
Speaker 1: had retired, and he played through man broken form, broken thumb, crack,
Speaker 1: knee crackh in, high ankle, springing this and that, and
Speaker 1: same thing. He's like, Man, if I could shut this
Speaker 1: guy down, knowing in my head, I'm at that makes
Speaker 1: me a gangster. And that was his like mentality and
Speaker 1: and a lot of these guys. Tony Gonzalaz didn't miss
Speaker 1: a game for fifteen years, and same thing spraying ankles.
Speaker 1: This is not you know the strands of the world
Speaker 1: that that what makes you different. Lane has has reached
Speaker 1: that level. He's different, right, It's his hondred to fight hurt.
Speaker 1: He approaches the game as a fighter, no longer as
Speaker 1: a football player. Not to we try and teach these guys.
Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about what makes you great, what
Speaker 1: makes you so great in your job is these relationships
Speaker 1: you mentioned Andy Reid, Nick Sirianni. So much of the
Speaker 1: storyline is read facing his former team in Sirianni, who
Speaker 1: got fired by Andy Reid, facing and get retained. So
Speaker 1: you can't get fired fair enough different. So what do
Speaker 1: you know that's going through both head coaches mind right
Speaker 1: now as they approach this one. So and he's actually
Speaker 1: like enjoying it more. Yeah. So last week I spent
Speaker 1: some time with him. The other day I had to
Speaker 1: go to Kansas City, so we spent a good good
Speaker 1: amount of time and he's like, you know what, man,
Speaker 1: just enjoy this, he said after the af C Championship game,
Speaker 1: said I stayed up till like five third in the morning,
Speaker 1: returning like every text and then my wife yelled at me, like,
Speaker 1: what are you doing? You too old? Were seeing up
Speaker 1: all night? You gotta be it so but He's like,
Speaker 1: I'm really just now at this point, I'm just trying
Speaker 1: to enjoy those other things that I didn't enjoy in
Speaker 1: the past. And then Nick, I'm like, dude, you know
Speaker 1: it's not supposed to be this easy, right, but you
Speaker 1: know in your second year. But when I went to
Speaker 1: Eagles campus year there are three teams this year. Then
Speaker 1: I said, man, these teams I think are gonna be
Speaker 1: the teams to contend with. I was right on two.
Speaker 1: I was wrong on one. It's wrong on the Rams.
Speaker 1: I thought they had a Bobby Wagner and Robinson and man,
Speaker 1: things are gonna go okay. The other one was the
Speaker 1: Vikings because having Kevin O'Connell in there, I just thought
Speaker 1: the way he was going to change that culture. Man,
Speaker 1: he was just gonna fide with him and get and
Speaker 1: get the most out of Kirk Cousins. And then the
Speaker 1: other one was the Eagles and the reason why when
Speaker 1: I went out to camp it was so different in
Speaker 1: the confidence that had and Nick where last year, it
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, we're still trying to figure this dude out.
Speaker 1: Like he came out of nowhere to be a head coach.
Speaker 1: His interview just happened randomly. He happened to be in Florida,
Speaker 1: had no clothes of them, showed up like he was surfing,
Speaker 1: and just kind of blew him out of the water.
Speaker 1: And so they're like this, I know what he's talking about.
Speaker 1: It's not always tough like so they're still trying to
Speaker 1: figure him out. But what he did in his rookie year,
Speaker 1: they ended up buying in. So this whole offseason they
Speaker 1: really bought in. So when they went to camp and
Speaker 1: he was coaching, it's just a totally different when you
Speaker 1: have the full confidence of everybody. And I saw the
Speaker 1: weapons I had. I said, this team is gonna be
Speaker 1: a team that's gonna be a contender. I picked them
Speaker 1: to win the NFC East and I was like, man,
Speaker 1: they're gonna be tough. And and that was the reason
Speaker 1: why he just that whole culture brought in him. And
Speaker 1: when you're sure on something that takes away the hesitation,
Speaker 1: the hesitation is where you can get burnt. I was
Speaker 1: racking my brain earlier trying to figure out Super Bowls passed.
Speaker 1: You know, there's always even if it's a close margin
Speaker 1: between the two teams, it's always a pretty clear favorite.
Speaker 1: And I really think this is a game where I
Speaker 1: cannot figure out. I know the sports books have you know,
Speaker 1: the Eagles are slightly favored, but when I just look
Speaker 1: at I really have no good beat on who should
Speaker 1: be favorite in this game. So I think it's the
Speaker 1: box reverse the brawler. And the Brawlers are obviously Eagles, right,
Speaker 1: They're just a physical team. Man. They will beat you up,
Speaker 1: they want to beat you up. And the boxer the
Speaker 1: finesse team is Kent City, right, and you never know
Speaker 1: what that quarterback in that tight end and what he
Speaker 1: does with all his weapons. Right, they just kind of
Speaker 1: picked your part and it's like they're trying to hit
Speaker 1: you from the outside and they can pick your part,
Speaker 1: and he does right, and eventually he's just gonna kind
Speaker 1: of outlast year on the scorecards and he's the last
Speaker 1: man standing. Yeah, I I just can't. I don't know
Speaker 1: about you, Olivia, I'm really I know she cheeps her
Speaker 1: your second favorite. You your second favorite, like pack from
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Oh you are Okay, had to go to
Speaker 1: Kansas City the plaza. Now, let me tell you something
Speaker 1: about Kansas City. Okay, you guys have this really fucked
Speaker 1: up haunted house out there. Do you know what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about? The gates of Hell? Do you know? You
Speaker 1: don't know what this like? The kind that you pay
Speaker 1: for in Halloween to go in? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: want Tony Gonzalez, Kyle Turley, and John Wellborn. It's forty
Speaker 1: five minutes. But halfway through, Tony Gonzalez starts going, I
Speaker 1: don't want to do this any more. I don't do
Speaker 1: this any more. I don't and he starts coming back.
Speaker 1: I'm liked, while you going back like it's like swimming
Speaker 1: out halfway to a lake, and you swim back like
Speaker 1: we're halfway through already. And then they warned me not
Speaker 1: to get in a fight with any of the monsters,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you got pop for steroids nineteen times,
Speaker 1: and Turley, you're in freaking anger management and you guys
Speaker 1: are warning me and jury ship. I got in a
Speaker 1: fight with one of the ghouls because they all the
Speaker 1: lights are out and there are a lot of like
Speaker 1: they touch you and stuff. Right, don't get to like
Speaker 1: with me. So the lights around. All of a sudden,
Speaker 1: the lights are on and the school's in my face.
Speaker 1: So I throw my obow up as a reaction to
Speaker 1: defend myself against the walking dead, and the guy just
Speaker 1: missed it. And then he started talking to me, and
Speaker 1: I started talking ship to him, and they had to like, hey,
Speaker 1: let's go. And so of course only me, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get a fight with a reference he is talking about
Speaker 1: like when you're in eighth grade, your mom drops you off.
Speaker 1: They're scary, dude, and they're touching you and they're like
Speaker 1: the lights again, touch yeah, and they're grabbing your ankles
Speaker 1: and stuff. You're going over drawbridges and there's no lights on.
Speaker 1: It's it's the scariest shit I've done more as I guess,
Speaker 1: maybe I'm thinking about it from like the actor perspective.
Speaker 1: If I'm like working there, I'm playing one of the zombies.
Speaker 1: I see you and Tony Gonzalez and Turly where I'm like,
Speaker 1: all right, let's not get too close yet, I went
Speaker 1: and still instead they're trying to scare the big guys. Right,
Speaker 1: let's not get too close. Touches me. I'm a up. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's talk more about some googles on both teams. Like
Speaker 1: I mentioned, I was just covering the Chiefs the other day,
Speaker 1: so I gotta talk to some players and and be
Speaker 1: right there on the sideline and talk to Isaiah Pacheco
Speaker 1: after the game. And I kind of like, because we
Speaker 1: do talk about Betty Dingles and props. I think he's
Speaker 1: going to have a great game both playoff games. He's
Speaker 1: had double digit carries. Philly cannot stop the run and
Speaker 1: they're limited at receiver. I think he's going to catch
Speaker 1: the ball out of the backfield. When you look at
Speaker 1: like a guy like that Rookie, I mean, what do
Speaker 1: you think some of these guys that you talk so
Speaker 1: much about the mental game, A guy who here I
Speaker 1: am predicting and having a great game numbers wise, what
Speaker 1: do you think of rookie is going into this game.
Speaker 1: There's two things. Either Rookie goes in and they're so
Speaker 1: wide on and they're like, oh my god, and they
Speaker 1: nerve up, or they don't know what they don't know
Speaker 1: and it's just yeah, yeah, it blames into him like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's it's usually the former. I don't think so though.
Speaker 1: He is so confident and really, I don't think it's
Speaker 1: gonna get to him. Plus, and he has so much experience,
Speaker 1: Like I'm sure they're going through practice, So these coaches
Speaker 1: have to change how you practice because they have to say, okay,
Speaker 1: we do this now we have to They haven't almost
Speaker 1: have to practice like pregate warmps. Guys, we're gonna do this.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go in now, and it's gonna be an
Speaker 1: extra half hour instead of like normal, so you altost
Speaker 1: practice it. You have to practice how you're gonna handle
Speaker 1: the cadence for for halftime. He's been able to do that.
Speaker 1: It's also like Andy will tell those guys. Normally you
Speaker 1: get on the field and you get it so jazzed up. Well,
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, there's so much pageantry you
Speaker 1: have to wait for thirty five minutes. Guys sometimes will
Speaker 1: gas out. He'll be able to make sure that doesn't
Speaker 1: happen because he's been in so much. That's where experience
Speaker 1: comes into play. You talked about to like going to
Speaker 1: camps and stuff like that. One thing I've always loved
Speaker 1: because you know, knowing you all these years, I know
Speaker 1: when you would go leave on like your camp tour
Speaker 1: and for how long we've been doing that. I mean
Speaker 1: when you start to go ahead, how many camps? Now
Speaker 1: that's the year is born. And I'm almost like she's like,
Speaker 1: don't don't add too much after that? How many is there?
Speaker 1: Like do you know going into Honestly, the Chiefs used
Speaker 1: to be my favorite team is there in River Falls, Wisconsin,
Speaker 1: and that's why I learned about Cheese Kurds and now
Speaker 1: glera spotted l that spotted cow. And I was like
Speaker 1: and also like for me, I grew up in Jersey,
Speaker 1: New York, so like this was like any time USA
Speaker 1: was beautiful. I loved it. And I was like, I
Speaker 1: stayed in this bed and breakfast, and I'd stay at
Speaker 1: Cheese Camp longer than any other camps because I became
Speaker 1: friends with these people around up again and breakfast. Oh
Speaker 1: but let me tell you the worst training camp storybol So,
Speaker 1: I go onto this, I go out to this other
Speaker 1: team and I get put up in like uh, I
Speaker 1: don't want to say the hotel, but the rooms are
Speaker 1: like and that's the only thing they had because some
Speaker 1: of these camps in the middle of nowhere, and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, this dude was like Mr Glaziers just
Speaker 1: we have for you. We have this like a smoking
Speaker 1: like twin bedroom, like twin bed. What am my fu? Right?
Speaker 1: So I was like, no, no, I mean what Fox
Speaker 1: and I have to do. And he's like, no, no,
Speaker 1: He's like, that's all we have. It's I'll tell you
Speaker 1: with the Ravens. He's like, it's Ravens family weeks with
Speaker 1: every hotels book is all that's do. It's all you have.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, man, I'm staying in this crappy, little
Speaker 1: dumpy place is freaking disgusting. Its twenty nine bucks a night.
Speaker 1: And they're like that's all. And the manager being a dick,
Speaker 1: so he finally takes me. I go down the room
Speaker 1: and I look up around the room and well, I
Speaker 1: don't have a problem with the with the French fries
Speaker 1: on the floor, the spiders and the spider webs in
Speaker 1: the window, or the pieces of wallpaper ripped off the wall,
Speaker 1: but what the funk is up with all the blood
Speaker 1: splattered all over this wall? Yes? Yes, yes, yes. So
Speaker 1: I walked back down and I tell the manager you
Speaker 1: come with me. He's like Mr Glazers. I said, hey, dude,
Speaker 1: we can do this easy way the hard way. You're
Speaker 1: coming around to this room, and you're coming in his
Speaker 1: room with me. So I come down, bring him down.
Speaker 1: And by the way, I'm supposed to go in there,
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to be Rex Ryan and Mike Patton for dinner,
Speaker 1: who are coaches for the Ravens the top. So I said,
Speaker 1: you're coming with me? And I said, hey, man, I
Speaker 1: don't got a problem with the spiders over the French Fries,
Speaker 1: but dude, what the fund is up with the blood
Speaker 1: all over the wall. And he literally says to me, oh, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I gotta call the housekeeping about I said housekeeping, yeah,
Speaker 1: homeland security. What are you calling the house But it
Speaker 1: just happens all the time. Are you serious? He's like,
Speaker 1: gonna come down, so what you can slaughter me? I said,
Speaker 1: what's going on? Mr? Mr? We'll get you another room.
Speaker 1: I said, you said there's no other rooms. He goes, well,
Speaker 1: not at this price point. I was like, well, I
Speaker 1: can't like so no. So he's like, oh, He's like,
Speaker 1: I'll get you the best hotel room in town. Well,
Speaker 1: the best hotel room town is across the street at
Speaker 1: this end that is a converted schoolhouse like the freaking SI.
Speaker 1: So he puts me in there, so I called Rex
Speaker 1: Ryan and Mike Patton. I said, hey, you guys at
Speaker 1: the publicity, Yeah, I need you to get the biggest
Speaker 1: steak knives you have over there. I need you to
Speaker 1: come over and meet me at this hotel because I'm
Speaker 1: sleeping with these knives on this hotel. And that's yeah,
Speaker 1: that was my guest room. And and the Giant one time.
Speaker 1: What did you don't don't don't make me? U said
Speaker 1: about the Giant. This is when I was so broke.
Speaker 1: I didn't have enough money for to like stay, so
Speaker 1: I didn't find a place to stay. And my cousin
Speaker 1: had a frat house up there at the University of Albany,
Speaker 1: but he has but he hasn't used it yet. And
Speaker 1: I walked in and it was a converted crack house
Speaker 1: which they hadn't cleaned yet. And I drove up on
Speaker 1: a motorcycle, so I had like somebody bop tissues. Assistant
Speaker 1: drove up, like my clothes for me, right, and I
Speaker 1: couldn't get any of the bedrooms, so like the TV

Speaker 1: am crapping my paths. I throw an Arizona ice tea bottle.

Speaker 1: more steak knives so I could defend myself on the show.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm this is like I wrote a mental health
Speaker 1: book this year, but it's all this other stuff. If
Speaker 1: you have to do three things, you have to pick
Speaker 1: one of these three things you have to do again.
Speaker 1: You have to go through the haunted house in Kansas City,
Speaker 1: you have to stay in the blood spill out of
Speaker 1: room in Baltimore, or you have to stay at the
Speaker 1: crack den where the giant. Which one you have to
Speaker 1: pick one? Which one when you go through again, if

Speaker 1: and Arizona bottles, you remember the bottom those bottles are
Speaker 1: a little extra, Yeah, big little, bigger. But there. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you something. I we're tough, but when someone
Speaker 1: breaks in the way your heart like you are, it
Speaker 1: is like, like I just I just throw it. I
Speaker 1: was like, I wasn't a tough guy that I thought
Speaker 1: I was. I was like crapping. What's amazing is you
Speaker 1: didn't hang You didn't say this is the end of
Speaker 1: Jay Glazers camp tours. You kept going. It was night one.
Speaker 1: It was the first night of the entire kids forty days.
Speaker 1: That could have been it. It could the whole Yeah,
Speaker 1: and this is back then. I was getting four hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty bucks a year from New York one TV
Speaker 1: and the New York Post is paying me two d article.
Speaker 1: That was my whole yearly salary. So I had to
Speaker 1: be there, but they wouldn't pay for anything. So the
Speaker 1: only way I was getting paid I had to be
Speaker 1: there to break some news on the giants and use
Speaker 1: other sources for jets or whoever else to break news.
Speaker 1: So I had to be there, and I had to
Speaker 1: be there, and I hadn't enough money to pay for anything.
Speaker 1: So I went on for eleven years. As you know,
Speaker 1: as you do, know everyone and talk to everyone, especially
Speaker 1: after last night getting all that face to face time.
Speaker 1: Do you have a lean in this game? No, because
Speaker 1: it's again it's the boxing brawler, Like you know, they
Speaker 1: try and take away that run. Like even look, let's
Speaker 1: say you try and take away the run for Philly,
Speaker 1: right and you're gonna go, Okay, We're gonna try and
Speaker 1: see if if Jalen could step up in this game.
Speaker 1: But if you put those rookies on an island against
Speaker 1: those two receivers man and then and even Dallas Cottard,
Speaker 1: like man, it's just it's kind of picked your poison.
Speaker 1: But so I've been thinking it's on Jalen too, Like
Speaker 1: Jalen needs step up big in this game because I
Speaker 1: think they're gonna put the pressure on him. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: bought in a little bit. My Super Bowl picks were
Speaker 1: Eagles Bengals, and after watching that Bengals Bills game, I
Speaker 1: definitely Do you think I wondered about this because I
Speaker 1: and I've even asked athletes like straighthand like the bulletin
Speaker 1: boards stuff? Does that really? Guy? Like? Look they need
Speaker 1: things like that? Well they look they make stuff up there,
Speaker 1: like Jordan did they make stuff up in their mind? Ye?
Speaker 1: I thought the Bengals got a little what do you
Speaker 1: know about that? Sorry to cut you off, I can't say.
Speaker 1: I can't say, can you elaborate what you mean? Though?
Speaker 1: They'll find reasons they are someone on their team has
Speaker 1: been disrespected. You're like, all right, yeah, like which normally
Speaker 1: doesn't even exist. So Chief's Bengal's week was amazing finish.
Speaker 1: That was easy for them. That I'm saying the Bengals.
Speaker 1: The mayor of Cincinnati pissed him off beyond belief, like
Speaker 1: why would you do that? Like don't It's like when
Speaker 1: people just talk about Brady, like what are you doing?
Speaker 1: What are you doing? Don't do that? And he does
Speaker 1: the same thing. Between this playoffs has been tougher mayors.
Speaker 1: Not that Adams had anything to do with the Empire
Speaker 1: State Building being lit up green, but he made some
Speaker 1: comments about Kyrie Irving. I'm like, you need to go
Speaker 1: investigate who lit up the Empire State Building and green
Speaker 1: and White it's like the worst thing ever. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought that the Cincinnati mayor just why would you, like,
Speaker 1: why would you? Why would you be the one that
Speaker 1: fires up the best player in the NFL? Like what
Speaker 1: are you doing? Hey, Kelly? She was right, No, your
Speaker 1: freaking place and that ain't it. And Kelsey is another
Speaker 1: one who like him. He was training with us also,
Speaker 1: he was filming that reality show remember the dating Kelsey thing.
Speaker 1: Oh you're killing him over there. And I still don't
Speaker 1: understand how I love to bet like first touchdown of
Speaker 1: the game anytime, and I'm like, it can't be Kelsey.
Speaker 1: And he's always open, right, he always gets a touchdown
Speaker 1: always and you got the first touchdown in that he's
Speaker 1: like Cooper cup Like how are they always open? It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: And just they know how to separate at the right
Speaker 1: time and how to you know, how to sell it
Speaker 1: to get somebody go where they're not. Walk us through
Speaker 1: what Sunday will look like for you? Obviously Fox is
Speaker 1: hosting and you're hosting pregame show. Walk us through the
Speaker 1: pregame show. What are you talking about for five? I
Speaker 1: don't know. Our production meeting Thursdays production meeting Thursday. Here's
Speaker 1: what's great about our show. We don't rehearse like when
Speaker 1: you see us on Sunday. That's the first time we're
Speaker 1: saying like, we don't rehearse like we say we'll do
Speaker 1: a two hour show at a military base. We have
Speaker 1: no rehearsal nothing. We are. We just know each other
Speaker 1: so well. And our producer, Bill Richards gives us really
Speaker 1: the room for us to be us, and then he'll
Speaker 1: wrap us when we need a wrap and when Brash
Speaker 1: Shawn I are kind of go off the deep end
Speaker 1: and he'll make sure we don't get in trouble. But
Speaker 1: for the most part, there's no other TV show that
Speaker 1: can do this. And here's the other thing. This is
Speaker 1: my family. Like we are. We love each other. We
Speaker 1: hang out constantly, offseason, in season, hang out constantly. No
Speaker 1: other show hands out like the amount we do. Holidays together,
Speaker 1: best man at each other's weddings, godfather of each other's children.
Speaker 1: You know, I adopted my son Sammy, and I leaned
Speaker 1: into Howie Long and how to be a dad, and
Speaker 1: like really learned. I talked now about mental health. Terry
Speaker 1: Bradshaw is the first who really talked about it. I
Speaker 1: lean on him. Now he leans on me when we're struggling.
Speaker 1: We tell each other like what other show doesn't like,
Speaker 1: like hey, each cann the other days like, man, I'm
Speaker 1: having a bad day between the years, I need you
Speaker 1: just say anything. I just need somebody understands, Like that's
Speaker 1: how close we are. And then two weeks ago, I
Speaker 1: had a bad, really bad, dark gray attack about half
Speaker 1: hour before our show. Well I felt like crying and
Speaker 1: like my depression just got so bad to me where
Speaker 1: I felt like the sky was falling and and my
Speaker 1: world was ending. And I told Kurt and Stray and
Speaker 1: kurts like I'm gonna take in the room right now
Speaker 1: and talk like do you want to Like I'm here,

Speaker 1: And he's trying to get ready for the show. What
Speaker 1: do you need for me? And that's our family. That's
Speaker 1: what we do for each other. And that's what I
Speaker 1: tell everybody out there with the mental health work that
Speaker 1: I'm doing now, you need to find your team. And
Speaker 1: teams could be you know, God, or your kids, or
Speaker 1: your wife or your hunt, but they deserve to know
Speaker 1: what's going on with you so they could be good teammates.
Speaker 1: To you also because they want to be good teammates
Speaker 1: for you. Yeah, it shows like you know as far
Speaker 1: as the like a pregame show and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: your guys friendship just like that's what everyone tunes in. Like,

Speaker 1: was just we're all together right before, like we've been
Speaker 1: together today, we're together last night. We're just and then

Speaker 1: executives constantly hang out like our producers and our our
Speaker 1: CEO and our president and our executive producers and our
Speaker 1: executive vice president. We literally all hang out. It's incredible.

Speaker 1: fantastic podcast and you have so many great people on
Speaker 1: in sports and outside of sports, so it's not just
Speaker 1: a sports got Fietti on this week. Who's dude? Yeah? Who? Like,
Speaker 1: no one really knows his story, how he got to
Speaker 1: where he got to, he didn't tell it and he
Speaker 1: opens up any I've been one of his best friends
Speaker 1: for a long time. I didn't realize I didn't know
Speaker 1: the whole thing from how it started to where he is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I had no idea. Man, that's great. Jay. Can't thank
Speaker 1: you know, I love you. Definitely not a light week
Speaker 1: for you. Yes, you are. Everybody else we congrats, thank
Speaker 1: you every year. I hope this never wears up. You
Speaker 1: know what never does? I always act so every single
Speaker 1: Super Bowl mat go take a little step on the side,
Speaker 1: And I always tell every head coach to do the
Speaker 1: same thing. In their first head coaching job, I'll find
Speaker 1: a little somewhere a boy myself and I would literally
Speaker 1: look up to God and thank you my best friend God.
Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm in here. I'm here, and I'm
Speaker 1: never gonna act like like yeah, I've been there before,
Speaker 1: Like then, this is unbelievable. I'm still waiting to wake
Speaker 1: up in fifth grade, none of this happened. So I
Speaker 1: always want to feel that way, so I'm yeah, I
Speaker 1: live in gratitude with that, and I try and get
Speaker 1: every head coach to do the same thing in their
Speaker 1: first ever game. That love that, j and love you.
Speaker 1: You're the best. Thank you, enjoy your enjoyed Monday, anybody Again,
Speaker 1: we're talking mental health a little bit. Still got my
Speaker 1: book out there, Unbreakable, How I turned my depression, anxiety
Speaker 1: and motivation. You can too, And there's a lot of
Speaker 1: football stories in there that will make you laugh your
Speaker 1: ass off and I got fired up my podcast absolutely
Speaker 1: Unbreakable a mental health podcast, but we talk a lot
Speaker 1: of sheet on there. So it's good. Jay Glazer, everyone,
Speaker 1: Thanks Jake. I appreciate you. He's one of one. Do
Speaker 1: you see why I say, like when I talk about
Speaker 1: like my l a big brother, it was absolutely j
Speaker 1: for all the reasons, but yeah, just I mean the
Speaker 1: fact that he's so humble and grateful too. I think
Speaker 1: that is exactly why people take to him so well.
Speaker 1: But yeah, he's definitely takes some time off and he's
Speaker 1: gonna hit like forty camps. There's not even teams, He's
Speaker 1: gonna hit forty camps in the summer. I told you
Speaker 1: before we started though, we're not going to get anything.
Speaker 1: He's not gonna lean one way. It just he just
Speaker 1: he keeps it pro like you gotta watch on Sunday.
Speaker 1: If he has an inkling or a scoop or something,
Speaker 1: it's gonna come out Sunday morning. Did you notice the
Speaker 1: one thing he dangled right in front of us, which
Speaker 1: I'm thinking is going to be his scoop on Sunday
Speaker 1: is Patrick mah Holmes has to make up bolt and
Speaker 1: board material. He clammed up right when he started to
Speaker 1: give us something good. And I think he's gonna really
Speaker 1: share an interesting story on Sunday. That's my guests. Well,
Speaker 1: I think if the and and the Eagles are smart
Speaker 1: by the way, I think the Eagles are good at
Speaker 1: trash talking and knowing when and knowing how. And I
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think. I mean, if it's gonna
Speaker 1: be something, it's probably something really small that gets turned
Speaker 1: into something way bigger. So this way, there's some bolletin
Speaker 1: board there. But don't give them any I mean they
Speaker 1: already do. They're they're an underdog. Patrick mahomes as an
Speaker 1: underdog is eight and one and one versus spread six
Speaker 1: and three straight up. We've already kind of talked off camera,
Speaker 1: and we talked last week on Unleashed with Brad Evans,
Speaker 1: but we're both leaning Chiefs last week. Where are you
Speaker 1: at now? I think I've I'm back on Philly. I
Speaker 1: just still because I look at the offensive and didn't know.
Speaker 1: But I don't think I was leaning Kansas City last week.
Speaker 1: I don't think that. But I still just look at
Speaker 1: the lines. I look at the Eagles offensive and defensive line,
Speaker 1: and I just think it's gonna be too much to overcome.
Speaker 1: But I do think it's gonna be a great game,
Speaker 1: but will be shocked if Mahomes like lights it up.
Speaker 1: And when's the closest one? Now? I think we're at
Speaker 1: the point now where and this is why this all
Speaker 1: feels so long the whole week. We need them to play,
Speaker 1: you know. Hassan Reddick, my guy who we're going to
Speaker 1: talk about with Peter Andrew later and we start talking
Speaker 1: about some of our Super Bowl props and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: He tweeted what everyone was thinking this morning. He was like,
Speaker 1: it's only Tuesday, dot dot dot, Like that would scare
Speaker 1: me a little bit to know somewhere Reddick is just
Speaker 1: in a hotel room, just like seething to get at
Speaker 1: this game. So we talked a little bit with J
Speaker 1: two about experience and that when the lights are on
Speaker 1: and you have two weeks to hear nothing but good
Speaker 1: and bad things about your team, younger players contend to
Speaker 1: either clam up get overwhelmed. You might kind of forget
Speaker 1: something that otherwise would have come naturally. And I think
Speaker 1: that's the Chief's biggest edge. And I am leaning Chiefs
Speaker 1: and I like one and a half. I really like
Speaker 1: a money line at plus money. I still think that's
Speaker 1: kind of the best bet. I think that's the play.
Speaker 1: But we were just talking before we started. The Chiefs
Speaker 1: have thirty players who have played in the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: before the Eagles have ten. I feel like that could
Speaker 1: be a big difference. Not to mention the coaching staff,
Speaker 1: I think when yes, when it comes to the experience,
Speaker 1: all of it, Andy Reid, thirty players, we're gonna see,
Speaker 1: We're gonna learn a lot about all the kind of
Speaker 1: tropes that we always talk about experience for his rookies
Speaker 1: and bullet to all that stuff is gonna get answered
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and hopefully we're all on the right side
Speaker 1: of it, betting wise, so we can also make some
Speaker 1: money while we learned some stuff about it. But it's
Speaker 1: been a great it's been a really really great season.
Speaker 1: I mean it's very exciting. Okay, a little trivia because
Speaker 1: I was trying to stump Jerry with this earlier who
Speaker 1: is an Eagles player and we'll see on Twitter if
Speaker 1: people can tweet live to us. Yeah, let's see if
Speaker 1: you know his answer? If you know who is the
Speaker 1: Eagles player playing in their third Super Bowl and he's
Speaker 1: one and one right, well I will stress yes, as
Speaker 1: I just have to say he's not two and oh
Speaker 1: in the super Bowl going into his third is one
Speaker 1: and one because I was thrown because I was trying
Speaker 1: to think, who's about to win their third Super Bowl?
Speaker 1: And three teams? Are we gonna answer it? Anyone anyone answering?
Speaker 1: Isaac shout if someone tweets at us. So that's one
Speaker 1: I want to dangle in front of everyone. If anyone
Speaker 1: tweets back at us and answer, let's see if anyone
Speaker 1: gets it. The other one was there's a chief player
Speaker 1: playing in his fourth Super Bowl? Do you know who
Speaker 1: that is? It has to be someone on like the
Speaker 1: offensive line, which I'll forgive me. I don't don't you
Speaker 1: don't know the chief starting five offensive line. I think
Speaker 1: I know four of the who is it? Can you
Speaker 1: give that one to the audience now? No, I'm going
Speaker 1: to dangle that one too. I want y'all to interact
Speaker 1: with us. I want you to tweet at us. Go
Speaker 1: ahead and tweet at me directly so I can see
Speaker 1: and at bet MGM, y'all holler if we get someone.
Speaker 1: So those are two little, good, good trivia facts. But
Speaker 1: in general, Chiefs experience experience, experience. Mahomes and Kelsey it's
Speaker 1: their third together alone. Andy Reid's fourth. Eric b Enemy,
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator, it's his third. I mean, this Chief's
Speaker 1: team knows how to handle this week. They know how
Speaker 1: to handle the two weeks here. I mean, I just
Speaker 1: how can you not like the Chiefs in the spot?
Speaker 1: I just here's what I keep coming back to. It's
Speaker 1: been the Eagles all year, meaning they had decent hype
Speaker 1: out of the preseason, and then they were a juggernaut
Speaker 1: through the first what would they go nine and oh,
Speaker 1: ten and o whatever before they lost. Then they had
Speaker 1: that little slide with the injuries, and then they rolled yes,
Speaker 1: it has been they charmed playoff run, meaning you know
Speaker 1: you get to play the Giants and the Niners without
Speaker 1: a quarterback. I get all that, but maybe this I
Speaker 1: just think it's just their year. I think things have
Speaker 1: broke their way and I think that they've been the
Speaker 1: team all year. This might be can they get The
Speaker 1: question for me is can they go wire to wire?
Speaker 1: And yes, if you take out Mahomes, that will answer
Speaker 1: any doubts about about the TV. And they're just stacked,
Speaker 1: even when when they were drafting last year and they
Speaker 1: got a J. Brown and they added think they're just loaded.
Speaker 1: And I don't think the Chiefs are loaded. Okay, let
Speaker 1: me tell you what I'm now thinking. As we're getting
Speaker 1: closer to the super Bowl, and all you hear is
Speaker 1: talk talk talking, and we're doing the same thing. We're
Speaker 1: talk talk talking. But I feel like if the Chiefs
Speaker 1: can lean on their run game, we know how good
Speaker 1: that Eagles defensive friend is, they are going to give
Speaker 1: Mahomes no time. No, Kelsey's is comfortable get that's his
Speaker 1: first check and quadruple teams I mentioned with Jay, I
Speaker 1: like Isaiah Pacheco, the rookie running back Derrick McKinnon is
Speaker 1: back as well. Clyde Edwards Hilaire is activated. He's back.
Speaker 1: He whoa really? Yes, that I haven't heard in a
Speaker 1: long time. He hasn't played since November. So one of
Speaker 1: his odds are for first touchdown probably a bajillion the one.
Speaker 1: Yeah you like it? No, I don't like it at all.
Speaker 1: So at least favorite back Checko has had double digit
Speaker 1: carries in both playoff games. He's hot, he's confident, he
Speaker 1: catches the ball out of the backfield. I like Pacheco
Speaker 1: stats and we're gonna talk more props with Peter Andrew.
Speaker 1: But I feel like this is the Chief's advantage if
Speaker 1: they can do it. And I mentioned Eagles run defense
Speaker 1: is horrible. There twenty four in the NFL in YOURDS
Speaker 1: per carry allowed, So if the Chiefs can just dile
Speaker 1: this one up. I love Andy Reid scouting, and if
Speaker 1: I can find this advantage, yeah, listen, I I hear you.
Speaker 1: I'm not discounting what the Chiefs could do and would
Speaker 1: not be shocked. But again, I just come back to
Speaker 1: I just look at the weapons on both sides of
Speaker 1: the ball, and I think after Mahomes and like, all right,
Speaker 1: if you want to go by skill. You have Kelsey,
Speaker 1: and I think the next bunch of players after that,
Speaker 1: I think you name like five Eagles before you get
Speaker 1: to the next chief. Like, if you're going skill position
Speaker 1: outside of the quarterbacks, you go Kelsey, then I think
Speaker 1: you're really in like Mileston or a J. Brown divide.
Speaker 1: They said, then I think you could come to Pacheco,
Speaker 1: and then I think you dip back to the I
Speaker 1: just dip back to the Eagles. For god, I think
Speaker 1: you're naming like four eagles after Kelsey. So to me, yes,
Speaker 1: if can Mahomes, Pacheco and Kelsey put up enough points? Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I'm with you. Which injury to the quarterback bothers you more? More?
Speaker 1: I guess I think the Mahomes one scared. Well, it's
Speaker 1: weird because he's overcoming. We just heard j just talk
Speaker 1: about how he's the greatest healer of all time, superhuman
Speaker 1: superhuman X men level mutant healing ability. So I guess
Speaker 1: I can't say Mahomes, but I just I look at
Speaker 1: the placement of the injury. I mean, I think Hurts
Speaker 1: is good to go. I don't. I don't think the injury,
Speaker 1: I mean the adrenaline that's going to be going through
Speaker 1: and whatever else. I don't think the ares are gonna factor.
Speaker 1: I think when Mahomes played the Bucks with that injury,
Speaker 1: I think that injury was a big bigger factor than
Speaker 1: this one. And he said so too. Yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: let me tell you a play. I like. I like
Speaker 1: the ender. It started opened at forty nine and a half.
Speaker 1: Now it's fifty and a half. I like the ender
Speaker 1: in the super Bowl. First of all, all seven playoff games,
Speaker 1: the under hip, so hello, and then all seven the
Speaker 1: under hit. And then I like the under in the
Speaker 1: super Bowl because the super Bowl attracts more casual betters,
Speaker 1: so they're driving up the number because a lot of
Speaker 1: people don't have skin in the game. Unless you're a
Speaker 1: fan of the two teams left standing, you kind of
Speaker 1: don't care. You just want to watch all the you know,
Speaker 1: the the opening, the anthem, the halftime, that all that.
Speaker 1: You're just excited to watch the game. You want to
Speaker 1: see scoring, you want to see touchdowns, you want to
Speaker 1: see all these stars we've just mentioned. So everyone's hammering
Speaker 1: the over. I think as the week goes on, you
Speaker 1: wait and see what the numbers at. But I think
Speaker 1: it's gonna be I think it's gonna be the ender.
Speaker 1: So I like that under fifty and a half. I
Speaker 1: like that call, and I also think that favors your
Speaker 1: narrative being a Chiefs fan and wanting the Chiefs to
Speaker 1: win the game, because I think, uh, I don't know
Speaker 1: if the Chiefs will win a can you win a
Speaker 1: shootout with the Eagles? So I think for in order
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs to win, which is kind of what
Speaker 1: you're hoping for, I do think it needs to be
Speaker 1: a little bit muddier of a game, a little bit
Speaker 1: lower scoring. I don't know if it's turns into a shootout,
Speaker 1: although I love my homes and the shootout again, I
Speaker 1: just go back to the offensive weapons that I think
Speaker 1: Till's But I just think the Eagles defense, to your
Speaker 1: point with the under, is going to have a lot
Speaker 1: to say about the scoring in this game too. That defense.
Speaker 1: I've watched them three times up close and then obviously
Speaker 1: tracked them the whole year, and they have had the
Speaker 1: most terrifying defense in the league. That's no disrespect to
Speaker 1: the Niners or the Cowboys or anyone else. I've been
Speaker 1: the most terrified, even as a Giants fan of the
Speaker 1: Eagles defense this year. As I mentioned everyone placing bets
Speaker 1: on this game. I've got to give a shout out
Speaker 1: for something I just read a couple of hours before
Speaker 1: we started. Over fifty million adults are going to be
Speaker 1: betting on the Big Game, sixteen billion dollars. And by
Speaker 1: the way, the percentage of people betting is up six
Speaker 1: from last year. Obviously, four more states of legalized, so
Speaker 1: that is a lot more people, but the same amount
Speaker 1: of people who run are runners in the United States
Speaker 1: are betting on the Super Bowl. I just hope, And
Speaker 1: I've been a liberal. I've been a little disrespectful this
Speaker 1: year of kickers. I think we all have. I've begged
Speaker 1: for the extra point to get moved back up. Why
Speaker 1: we have to watch for I just hope. I pray
Speaker 1: for both the kicker's sake, not for mine as a fan,
Speaker 1: for the kicker's sake, that we are not going to
Speaker 1: be in a situation where Harrison Booker come out of
Speaker 1: field for a forty two yard field goal. As sentiments,
Speaker 1: I just don't want to say, don't you feel I do?
Speaker 1: And that's why I guess I'm afraid of and I
Speaker 1: just don't want to see it. It's been a rough
Speaker 1: year with kickers, and I'm so down on kicking as
Speaker 1: a part of football at this point, and maybe because
Speaker 1: so many of my bets have been destroyed by an
Speaker 1: extra point. We got our people going oh for four
Speaker 1: for extra points, so I just really hope it just
Speaker 1: doesn't come down to that. And that's I think one
Speaker 1: prop I do like, and we'll talk more about it
Speaker 1: with Peter when he comes on the Harrison Bucker made
Speaker 1: kicks one I just like under two reasons. I don't
Speaker 1: trust the kicking made field goals. I don't trust kickers
Speaker 1: at in general. But also I think again for the
Speaker 1: Chiefs to win, if they get closer, they're gonna have
Speaker 1: to go for it on four. I think they're gonna
Speaker 1: have to get touchdowns. I don't think they could settle
Speaker 1: unless it's that kind of game. I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: think they could settle for field goal field goal. I
Speaker 1: think if it's fourth and four, I want to put
Speaker 1: the ball in Mahomes's hand and not on the on
Speaker 1: the leg of someone else, So then you steell like
Speaker 1: over under. I like the under. I think you can
Speaker 1: think he'll make one, and then yeah, I don't even
Speaker 1: want to. My brain cannot even handle extra points. I
Speaker 1: don't want to think about them anymore. I've got to
Speaker 1: just bring up one more stack, because I've got my
Speaker 1: little list here and I've I've I'm trying to convince
Speaker 1: you on the Chiefs, and that's what my job here
Speaker 1: is that here, um the other one. Brad Evans told
Speaker 1: us on last week's episode of Unleash and its strength
Speaker 1: of schedule, the Chiefs had the number sixteen ranked strength
Speaker 1: of schedule, the Eagles thirty one. And this is a
Speaker 1: noisy wavers, You're about to get a stat. This is
Speaker 1: this one. This is a good one. I think this
Speaker 1: one's legit. This is a good one. And when the
Speaker 1: two teams meeting in the Super Bowl have a difference
Speaker 1: of ten spots in strength of schedule, which is this
Speaker 1: time since two thousand four, the team with the harder
Speaker 1: strength of schedule goes ten and two into did I
Speaker 1: describe that? So yeah, let me just recap that, because ye, yes,
Speaker 1: if there is ten spot difference between strength of schedule,
Speaker 1: that team with the hard schedule tendon to uh. I
Speaker 1: think that's a worthy stat And that does say something
Speaker 1: and and it goes off to I mean, it definitely
Speaker 1: didn't seem to change when you look at the playoff
Speaker 1: run and what the Eagles had to do to get
Speaker 1: into the super Bowl compared to what the Chiefs had
Speaker 1: to do and overcome. So it's a great case. It's
Speaker 1: a great case. I'm not going to waiver from what
Speaker 1: I thought a few weeks ago. I'm still on the Eagles.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a great case. And like I'm starting
Speaker 1: to just get at this point, like I'm more interested
Speaker 1: in the props now. Yes, I'm interested the game. Eagles. Sure,
Speaker 1: congrats Philly, Casey whatever, Ready for some some prop that's
Speaker 1: I really want to hit that first touchdown. That's just
Speaker 1: such a great way to start a wild parlay if
Speaker 1: you can get that first touchdown score of the game.
Speaker 1: But you're really just like throwing a bunch of cards
Speaker 1: in the air and hoping at that point. But okay,
Speaker 1: I want to hear another weird when I got oh
Speaker 1: and this is in the order to sway me to
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Sure the teams teams that don't wear white
Speaker 1: are twenty and thirty six. You know what the Chiefs
Speaker 1: are wearing? Wait can you say hold on? I feel
Speaker 1: like you just did something political. It's got confused. I
Speaker 1: think you just did something political. Where you right? So
Speaker 1: the team that where's white does better? Can't just so
Speaker 1: hic saying the team that doesn't wear white is twenty
Speaker 1: and thirty six. I'm not that smart and apparently I'm
Speaker 1: not either because I got I tripped myself up. I'm
Speaker 1: not okay, one more thing because then we're going to
Speaker 1: get to the real stuff with Peter Andrew later. But
Speaker 1: heads or tails, you would think odds right? Not so fast,
Speaker 1: my friend, That is not true. Tails hits fifty two
Speaker 1: percent of the time. Wouldn't you think too? Here's a
Speaker 1: hot take. I'm not going to bet this, but people
Speaker 1: love to bet on the gatorade color and all that stuff. Now,
Speaker 1: I believe when the Chiefs won the Super Bowl a
Speaker 1: few years ago it was like the yellow kind of
Speaker 1: which is the best and should be the only one.
Speaker 1: But now, me being crazy super I bet that if
Speaker 1: I cared about that bet. I don't, but if I were,
Speaker 1: I would bet whatever it was when the Chiefs one
Speaker 1: a few years ago, because if you are superstitious, you'd
Speaker 1: stick with what works. Are you saying now that you
Speaker 1: think the Chiefs will win? I'm not saying. What I
Speaker 1: want to know is more importantly the year they lost.
Speaker 1: What was that color? Because that's not going to be
Speaker 1: the color they're going with. No one knows. No one
Speaker 1: knows the gatorade color of the team he lost. Jay
Speaker 1: Glazer probably knows. He probably did anyone to tell us.
Speaker 1: So let's finish up with saying the trivia that we dingled. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's go of the Eagles answer. Well, the Eagles answer,
Speaker 1: which I found it, and and his name came up.
Speaker 1: I was on shore. I mean, I knew he was
Speaker 1: still in the league, but uh, and he's a great,
Speaker 1: great player, and domckinsue and he's playing his third Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: But then then we had the whole run of wait
Speaker 1: a minute, so did he go Rams win? Bucks win?
Speaker 1: And that was about is he going for his third? No,
Speaker 1: he wasn't on the Rams. He was on the Rams
Speaker 1: loss with God, lost that one one with Brady and
Speaker 1: the Bucks, and now he's back for his third and
Speaker 1: four years, which is incredible, absolutely incredible. Okay, so that
Speaker 1: was a good one. I thought, good little trivia, that's
Speaker 1: a great one. First, aligneman Joe Touney for the Chiefs
Speaker 1: playing in his fourth Super Bowl four so three with
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. I wonder who that other one was with. No,
Speaker 1: this is the fourth. The Chiefs made the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: four times. We'll figure that out. Well, listen, why don't
Speaker 1: let's get to Peter while we find that out for
Speaker 1: everyone watching? And Uh, I'm dying to get to some props.
Speaker 1: I gotta know because Pete Pete peeked at the right time.
Speaker 1: So everyone watching on the live stay tuned. Peter Andrew's
Speaker 1: coming up, and uh, we're gonna get to some props
Speaker 1: because it's time. All right. First off, we've got to
Speaker 1: give major shout out because people did answer our trivia
Speaker 1: question correctly and that was young easy Chase, Brundage and Dawson,
Speaker 1: So thank you guys. And in the break, we've had
Speaker 1: an amazing idea. You had an amazing You're going to
Speaker 1: give out a bonus bet. I'm gonna do one more
Speaker 1: trivia question and we're going to be giving out a
Speaker 1: bonus bet if you tweet at us your answered if
Speaker 1: you get it. So you guys can't say the answer,
Speaker 1: but you can think about it. And then at the
Speaker 1: end of this segment we will announce what the answer is.
Speaker 1: And hand out bonus bets. So trigger fingers turn to
Speaker 1: Twitter fingers, let me know your answer. So the question is,
Speaker 1: when was the last time a player one regular season
Speaker 1: and VP and went on to win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: And I'll give you a hint. It's longer ago than
Speaker 1: you'd think. Eli Man and I'm kidding, so tweeted as
Speaker 1: your answer. All right, now we welcome in Peter Andrew,
Speaker 1: our bet MGM betting expert slash analyst. It depends how
Speaker 1: he did that week. But since there was no game
Speaker 1: last week, you're an expert. So Pete, this is obviously
Speaker 1: this is the mecca. We know what we're talking about.
Speaker 1: We know why you're here. Prop bets to me, especially
Speaker 1: with the Super Bowl, it's an art form and it's
Speaker 1: usually a very hard art form to pull up. So
Speaker 1: first of all, how are you feeling going into this
Speaker 1: Sunday with the props? Are you're feeling like? It's clear?
Speaker 1: I know there's a big prop thing that the bet
Speaker 1: MGM is doing, so just you must your brain must
Speaker 1: be overloaded with props. Props is the theme for the
Speaker 1: next couple of days. So the hundred thousand dollar Big
Speaker 1: Game prop that challenge you guys are part of it.
Speaker 1: I know you gave some picks as well. Yes, we
Speaker 1: two winners, by the way, two winners, so everybody will
Speaker 1: hear those in the next couple of days. Every customer
Speaker 1: on bet mgm can participate. It's completely free to play.
Speaker 1: It's amazing. All you have to do is pick the
Speaker 1: fifteen different ops you see them when you go onto
Speaker 1: bed mgm dot com. And the person who either guess
Speaker 1: is the most correctly or the perfect amount hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dollars in your pockets a tiny little amount of a
Speaker 1: hundred thousands, hundred big deal. All you need to do
Speaker 1: is be registered in a verified customer very easy, and
Speaker 1: he guess correctly the most or the perfect amount hundred
Speaker 1: dollars in your pocket. I'm going to give out one
Speaker 1: of my picks now really quick, because I already said
Speaker 1: it on the show, and then you'll get the other
Speaker 1: one in the video. But I went under Harrison Bucker
Speaker 1: one and a half field goals because I just don't
Speaker 1: want there to be more field goals and I just
Speaker 1: feel like the Chiefs will have to actually go for
Speaker 1: it on fourth down when they're when they have a
Speaker 1: chance to to score. So I just don't want a
Speaker 1: four four field goals plus money plus one. Do you
Speaker 1: want to know what extra points was? Since you asked Alf,
Speaker 1: Chiefs are scoring right? Is he making all of the
Speaker 1: extra points just because he gets to attempt one? Kansas
Speaker 1: City especially kind of the theme of my picks two
Speaker 1: is if Philly goes up early and and fast, they're
Speaker 1: not gonna be kicking field goals. It just can't happen
Speaker 1: because Philly can stomp on your throat and next thing
Speaker 1: you know, it's twenty one seven and game gets out
Speaker 1: of hand. So I'm with you. I think the unders
Speaker 1: that was myne and I'll get my other one in
Speaker 1: the video, but that was one of my picks in
Speaker 1: the product. Alright, So where do we begin? I want
Speaker 1: to begin. I've been hounding the Chiefs this whole time
Speaker 1: and trying to convince Jerry. Last week when we had
Speaker 1: Brad Evans on, he said Chief's money line plus money,
Speaker 1: and he said, but get it now because it'll change.
Speaker 1: It's still plus money. What do you make of that?
Speaker 1: I think we're waiting on And Jason, who we were
Speaker 1: playing golf with today we're talking about this. I think
Speaker 1: we're waiting on one report of Patrick Mahomes ankle, and
Speaker 1: once it, once that does happen, obviously the money will
Speaker 1: start funneling in. We took a huge bed on the
Speaker 1: Eagles this week A million dollars went close to seven
Speaker 1: and eight hundred thousand dollars, So that line is uh
Speaker 1: is leaning. I mean it's favoring Eagles right now. But
Speaker 1: I still think as you get into Thursdays against Friday
Speaker 1: and Saturday, you're gonna start to see that money transition.
Speaker 1: You just need that one glimmer of hope that Mames
Speaker 1: is because last week he was not a don't you
Speaker 1: think last night was it? That's why I thought the
Speaker 1: number would change today because all the reports coming out
Speaker 1: of the opening night where he's super human. Jay Glazer himself,
Speaker 1: he's amazing, He's healed, said he's the greatest healer of
Speaker 1: all time, like no one heals faster, he said on
Speaker 1: this show a lot and a couple days, I didn't
Speaker 1: move the number. Yeah, I think you'll start to see
Speaker 1: the late money coming in. So I'd say by Friday,
Speaker 1: by Saturday, you're gonna start to see that transition. I
Speaker 1: was sort of feeling good about this player, and it
Speaker 1: was gonna figure out the way to work him into
Speaker 1: a bet. And then John Ewing comes in with the
Speaker 1: over the top jumps off the top rope on Twitter,
Speaker 1: and again if you don't follow John Ewing at John Ewing,
Speaker 1: and he tweeted not long ago a better at bet
Speaker 1: MGM wager on Kenneth Gainwell at plus twelve thousand, five
Speaker 1: hundred to win Super Bowl m v P pays out
Speaker 1: three and twelve thousand. I'm worried it's a game too
Speaker 1: late because he kind of had the awesome game already.
Speaker 1: But that's a sneaky good pick. Yeah, sneak key good pick.
Speaker 1: And this is going into My first pick is over
Speaker 1: under his nineteen and a half rushing yards. That is
Speaker 1: a low number. And the way they use their spellbacks,
Speaker 1: especially if they get that early lead and they really
Speaker 1: want to control the tempo of the game, you gotta
Speaker 1: imagine that him and Boston Scott are gonna be getting
Speaker 1: significant play five to seven rushes each at least always
Speaker 1: there's break one ten twelve yard run and next thing,
Speaker 1: you know, nineteen a half is pretty easy number hit.
Speaker 1: To your point, he did it against Giants right a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. He had a hundred plus. Again,
Speaker 1: game was a little bit out of reach, but they
Speaker 1: are going to want to control the game with the run.
Speaker 1: That's gonna open up a lot of things from the
Speaker 1: passing game. Nineteen and a half seems like a low number. Well,
Speaker 1: if you love that too, you gotta put him as
Speaker 1: any time scorer. He's not gonna an m v P
Speaker 1: without being an any time scorer, so you have to
Speaker 1: throw in that for sure. But I think he has
Speaker 1: a good game. I think all three of them have
Speaker 1: the potential to be really really dominant against that team.
Speaker 1: I know Chris Jones and I know they're they're d lines,
Speaker 1: but they control the game when they run the ball. Well,
Speaker 1: they are going to try to do that. It's going
Speaker 1: to open up some sort of RPO or play action.
Speaker 1: Um So I think that's the way they control the game.
Speaker 1: And that's why I'm leaning Eagles right now. Sorry, Live
Speaker 1: And that's sort of your first problem. You So you
Speaker 1: like gain well over nineteen and a half yards like
Speaker 1: minus one fifteen minus one fifteen right now, yep. Sticking
Speaker 1: kind of with the running backs, the checko, rushing and
Speaker 1: receiving total sixty nine and a half. I think in
Speaker 1: order to have a good game and in order for
Speaker 1: them to keep up. I think he and Kelsey are
Speaker 1: probably the two guys that need to have a solid game.
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be a lot of checkdowns and
Speaker 1: we'll get into Kelsey in a second, but I think
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of those checkdown type of plays.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of pressure from a really
Speaker 1: good Philadelphiagles defense exactly, and I think he's just gonna
Speaker 1: have to be the guy available. So sixty nine and
Speaker 1: a half looking at forty rushing yards, twenty is twenty
Speaker 1: something receiving yards. I think that's pretty tamable number. Pochecko.
Speaker 1: I think the last something like the last eleven games,
Speaker 1: all yards from scrimmage eight two yards on the Chiefs,
Speaker 1: the only person higher Travis Kelsey eight three. So he's
Speaker 1: been the guy that's been helping dominate that offense. Uh So,
Speaker 1: I mean it's going to continue this week. I think
Speaker 1: he's gonna be the focal point. Yeah, and you know
Speaker 1: you mentioned Kelsey. I've been fading him on the anytime
Speaker 1: touchdown thing, which was one of my favorite bets all year.
Speaker 1: It's almost you know, you can almost book it for
Speaker 1: every game and you'll come out on top. And not
Speaker 1: only did I fade it last week, but my sister
Speaker 1: in law I talked about on the show she had
Speaker 1: actually bet him for a first touchdown of the game score.
Speaker 1: I'm like, there's just no way she had both of
Speaker 1: those last week. But is there any way if you're
Speaker 1: the Eagles that you could let Travis Kelsey unless you
Speaker 1: have a big lead. How could you let Travis? I
Speaker 1: know he's that great best ever in that regard, but
Speaker 1: just how are you not putting three guys on him
Speaker 1: and saying, anyone else, Valda, anyone else beat me. So
Speaker 1: it's like we did these picks together because that's where
Speaker 1: kind of Kelsey comes in from my plays. You have
Speaker 1: him on a touchdown, I have him so six and
Speaker 1: a half receptions over on that. I think there's gonna
Speaker 1: be a lot of help over the top coming. They
Speaker 1: are gonna make him again the dump the dinky sort
Speaker 1: of plays. He's going to get those five to six
Speaker 1: yard plays, maybe break out a couple for first downs,
Speaker 1: but they're going to have the support over the top.
Speaker 1: They're gonna make and beat him with all the checkdowns
Speaker 1: against strong defenses this year. I think Jacksonville, Buffalo, Niners,
Speaker 1: few other teams. He has fourteen targets, twelve targets a game.
Speaker 1: He's gonna get, get the looks six and a half
Speaker 1: his mightus won fifty five, So a little bit you see.
Speaker 1: If you wanted to stick ten plus, which he's done
Speaker 1: twice this year, actually three times including the playoffs, I
Speaker 1: think plus three. I think he's gonna get a lot
Speaker 1: of those short looks. Again, going back to the Eagles
Speaker 1: pass rush and and what they can do to get
Speaker 1: to the quarterback, it's gonna be really hard for him
Speaker 1: to break out those twenty thirty yard plays that we're
Speaker 1: kind of used us steps in and then from an
Speaker 1: any time touchdown. I mean, if they get to the
Speaker 1: red zone, obviously he is the target that over the
Speaker 1: top help doesn't matter anything. Yeah, it really just doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: You just still have to have a position in that bet.
Speaker 1: And it's I think the price right now, if I'm
Speaker 1: not mistaken, is somewhere around MNUS. It's you're not laying
Speaker 1: a lot there for any time touch on for maybe
Speaker 1: the best tight end ever, top three, I think you
Speaker 1: gotta do it. Maybe maybe maybe take that with the receptions,
Speaker 1: or maybe take that with an all yards and get
Speaker 1: its two plus money. But I mean it's it's Travis Kelsey.
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna get the touches. Is he going
Speaker 1: to get the significant balls? Is he gonna get this place?
Speaker 1: That's probably the big question. Do you have any guesses
Speaker 1: on your how's your question? Doing? Um really good? In fact,
Speaker 1: bet m jam is probably gonna get mad at me
Speaker 1: because we're gonna be given out a lot of bonus back. Well,
Speaker 1: I think we have to stop it now because people
Speaker 1: have probably looked at the internet. So I'll tell you
Speaker 1: as I'm so, this is the last This is the
Speaker 1: last regular season m VP to win a Super a
Speaker 1: super Bowl. And as Jerry and I looked into it,
Speaker 1: it turns out it's a pretty cursed award. When you
Speaker 1: win regular season m v P and play in the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, a lot of times you don't win. Last
Speaker 1: time it happened, Kurt Warner, we kept thinking it's got
Speaker 1: to be Brady won a Super Bowl and m v
Speaker 1: P in the same season. So Elliott Duncan, Frank Lucas
Speaker 1: smashed billion. Josh Jones not a good shoe, yikes. Thirteen
Speaker 1: yikest is right, because there's sixty. I've toe tag toe
Speaker 1: tag also got it right. So thank you everyone for playing.
Speaker 1: Good job. I know I'm sorry, I'm sorry. This is
Speaker 1: on decker. I had nothing to do with this. This
Speaker 1: is like me at the bar after a couple I'm like,
Speaker 1: no one more round around. You just bought you bought
Speaker 1: rounds for everybody. It is a good way to get
Speaker 1: people into the big game sperience. So we're happy to
Speaker 1: give the bonus. All right, you have a couple play props,
Speaker 1: a couple more so we got two more here. Next
Speaker 1: one goes back to Eagles a little bit. Vante Smith
Speaker 1: three and a half yards is uh the over under
Speaker 1: for the longest reception that he'll have in the game.
Speaker 1: Seven out of the last eight games he's had twenty
Speaker 1: three plus. That is a number that to me again
Speaker 1: established a run. They start loading the box a little bit.
Speaker 1: Davante Smith breaks out for one. It doesn't have to
Speaker 1: be a forty yard play. It could be a ten
Speaker 1: yard screenplay. Next thing you know, he's there forty yards.
Speaker 1: That to me minus one fifteen. Again, a lot of
Speaker 1: these props are right around up. I love that. And
Speaker 1: here's why having watched the Eagles now three times against
Speaker 1: the Giants, and obviously I watched the game last week,
Speaker 1: the first game when they blew the Giants out star
Speaker 1: it with a big pass to Davant Smith, and then
Speaker 1: again against the Giants in the playoffs, same thing, and
Speaker 1: then obviously that catch no catch thing against your San
Speaker 1: Francisco for your Niners. So it does seem like part
Speaker 1: of the winning formula is he's just gonna get the looks.
Speaker 1: It's the same thing I like with when betting props
Speaker 1: in basketball. Who's going to get the most opportunity to
Speaker 1: at least give me a chance to win this prop?
Speaker 1: And I think that I think that's a great prop
Speaker 1: because I think whenever it's gonna go downfield, I think
Speaker 1: he's guitar. I think a J. Brown is immediate over
Speaker 1: the middle. And I love that. And your heads, I
Speaker 1: will say, caveat seven out of eight three plus longest
Speaker 1: you know, you know, last seven eight games. One of
Speaker 1: those is the catch against the Niners. So maybe it's
Speaker 1: it counts, it's in the books. It's the books. Still better,
Speaker 1: still better, all right. I like where you're out so far? Okay,
Speaker 1: so last the last one we're gonna go big game
Speaker 1: m v P. Last week, I think we talked a
Speaker 1: little bit about if you're gonna take the Eagles, maybe
Speaker 1: take Jalen Hurts as m v P. If the Eagles win,
Speaker 1: there's no doubt he's gonna get the Super Bowl MVT.
Speaker 1: I've I've actually started to move away from that now.
Speaker 1: So San Reddick thirty to one. You're copying him now,
Speaker 1: great minds think alike. But I love that someone else's
Speaker 1: backing me up because I got hypothetically. I mean, he's
Speaker 1: had sixteen sacks this year, three or four forced fumbles.
Speaker 1: He's been a monster. He's probably second or third and
Speaker 1: defensive player of the year. If he does two sacks,
Speaker 1: three sacks and gets one of those forced fumbles for
Speaker 1: a touchdown, defensive touchdown, one of your one of your
Speaker 1: props in the prop. I like, you have to consider
Speaker 1: it again. Long shot thirty to one. Likelihood of it happening, No,
Speaker 1: but it's good. It's a jerry for our a lottery ticket.
Speaker 1: It's a Seattle Sea HUK lottery. Look, even if it
Speaker 1: doesn't hit, it may at least give you excitement through
Speaker 1: two and a half three quarters. I love I've been
Speaker 1: on this for two weeks. I love this. I mean
Speaker 1: I obviously got see him two weeks ago against you
Speaker 1: were there in person, I wasn't. I was fortunately I
Speaker 1: was there for the win against Dallas. But he's dominant,
Speaker 1: I mean, especially when you put him against the right tackle.
Speaker 1: I mean, he was just absolutely dominant against mcclinchy. He's
Speaker 1: done that all year, sixteen sacks. Why not puts on
Speaker 1: at one shot. You know what made me think of
Speaker 1: it too, is I really tried thinking about who is
Speaker 1: the last defensive player to win Super Bowl MVP and
Speaker 1: what did that look like? And it was Von Miller.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that they're similar players, but they're
Speaker 1: both amazing off the edge rushers are super fast and
Speaker 1: can impact the game. But the other thing is, yes,
Speaker 1: if the Eagles win, Hurts obviously is the favorite, and
Speaker 1: he should be. I haven't really seen it with the
Speaker 1: receiver in a while. I just think that there's a
Speaker 1: version my favorite word, there's a version where the Eagle.
Speaker 1: If the Eagles win, the offense is so loaded, it's
Speaker 1: really spread out equally, like Miles Sands could have a touchdown,
Speaker 1: maybe gain well, maybe Jalen has a rushing one who knows.
Speaker 1: I think the offense could be spread out evenly enough
Speaker 1: that there's no clear cut m v P on the
Speaker 1: offensive side. If Reddick has one of those two sacks
Speaker 1: forced fumble, uh and Laura, I mean, if it gets
Speaker 1: a defensive touchdown, forget if there's a scoop in a score,
Speaker 1: and if that happens early, we're in business thirty one
Speaker 1: even late, like say the game's tied going to the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter and he has a huge forced fumble returns
Speaker 1: to for a touchdown that ends up being the game winner.
Speaker 1: I mean that right there is the kind of thing
Speaker 1: that gets you super bowling. And I know Mahomes is
Speaker 1: Wolverine and he's the fastest healer ever. And I will
Speaker 1: never negate that sarcastic. No, I'm saying. I get what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Is I get that. That being said, even
Speaker 1: if he's ten percent five percent slower than he normally is,
Speaker 1: that's only more of an advantage for a edge rusher
Speaker 1: like Reddeck. Maybe he's only five percent. If he's of
Speaker 1: his normal speed, that's eight percent more in our favor,
Speaker 1: making up percentages. He lost me again again, We're not
Speaker 1: that smart. Jerry, keep it simple. One thing I was
Speaker 1: liking is is that it more that I didn't put
Speaker 1: on our list either quarterback. Sticking away from the quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: I think Mahomes's yards pretty high. I thought it hurts
Speaker 1: if he's banged up. I don't know that I wanted
Speaker 1: to stay away from both the quarterbacks. One is more
Speaker 1: of kind of a live bet play. So I think
Speaker 1: the last eight years, whoever has won the coin toss
Speaker 1: has lost the game. So if you're gonna I read
Speaker 1: something in the last couple of days that said that,
Speaker 1: so Niners won the coin toss against the Chiefs lost
Speaker 1: the game, and that happened. Does it care, doesn't matter
Speaker 1: if they kick or receive. It doesn't know it's winning.
Speaker 1: It's winning the coins. So Chiefs win the coin toss
Speaker 1: at the Eagles. Eagles win the coin toss, and it's
Speaker 1: going to be obviously right in play or get it
Speaker 1: right as the game is about to start. But one
Speaker 1: of these things has to hit. That's happened freaking last
Speaker 1: seven years, So maybe this one. You know, it's always
Speaker 1: a sneaky good one. But I don't think, I mean,
Speaker 1: this game doesn't seem right. Safety is such an always.
Speaker 1: I think the odds have actually leveled out. There used
Speaker 1: to be really yeah, great odds in favor of the better,
Speaker 1: and I think that the safety is now. I will
Speaker 1: speak on behalf of Jason Scott. That is one prop
Speaker 1: that the book does not want because there is a
Speaker 1: heavy liability on that. So uh and to that point,
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people bet it. You just
Speaker 1: put a couple of bucks on it. It's a huge return.
Speaker 1: So we do not want that at bet MGM. So
Speaker 1: maybe I shouldn't And this is live, so we can't
Speaker 1: cut that. No, we're not going to cut that. We're
Speaker 1: just gonna let everybody know the book does not want that.
Speaker 1: And what's best for the book too is Chiefs winning
Speaker 1: right now? What's best? Yeah, exactly. We obviously took that
Speaker 1: big million dollar bet, so right now the money's leaning
Speaker 1: towards Eagles. Obviously we have a couple of days to
Speaker 1: go and we'll see, you know, like I haven't placed
Speaker 1: any bets yet. Usually for me it's Thursday Friday when
Speaker 1: I start, so we haven't seen a lot of the
Speaker 1: money come in yet, and typically what day is I
Speaker 1: would think Saturday, Yeah, the casual better I think you
Speaker 1: start to see it getting Friday laid into Saturday and
Speaker 1: then obviously Sunday it's a mad rush from what eight
Speaker 1: am when you wake up, all the way till the
Speaker 1: game kicks off. So how does it work? And again,
Speaker 1: if this is too much of like behind that, behind
Speaker 1: the current, you could just say, like Jerry, keep it moving.
Speaker 1: But if I wanted to bet one million dollars on
Speaker 1: the Chiefs to like, can I just like, can I
Speaker 1: just do that? Or is there there has to is
Speaker 1: there like a process? There's gonna be a process for
Speaker 1: a bet like that, right, we have to do like
Speaker 1: a like a nube as they say in gaming. Right now,
Speaker 1: when we have a beer with Jason later, he'll talk
Speaker 1: about that. But you know, we don't want to bet
Speaker 1: a million dollars on anything. By the way, we have
Speaker 1: a process. Obviously, we follow our due diligence and vet
Speaker 1: and make sure that someone's doing the right thing. So
Speaker 1: we're not gonna let anybody do it. But not anyone
Speaker 1: could do it if you're listening out, if you if
Speaker 1: you were going to bet a million bucks on the Eagles,
Speaker 1: you can't, not anyone can do it or on the
Speaker 1: chief Sorry, Okay, I've got a question to game total
Speaker 1: went up just one point forty nine and a half
Speaker 1: to fifty and a half. And because of the casual
Speaker 1: betters and that a lot of people don't have skin
Speaker 1: in the game, this isn't a normal NFL Sunday with
Speaker 1: every game obviously, what's a good strategy to the game total?
Speaker 1: Because playoff games underhit. I mean, I just took a
Speaker 1: bunch of overs, so I think the it's hard to
Speaker 1: say there's a strategy for it. For me, it's because
Speaker 1: mahomes healthy. What's the strategy are with that? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just I'm a guy who can't bet it under
Speaker 1: all this time, Olivia is just telling us a seven
Speaker 1: unders hit. Right in my mind, I'm like, well, I
Speaker 1: can't bet that. I'm trying to go through all these
Speaker 1: props and find it under that I love, and I'm
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, I got I had something with like
Speaker 1: because the odds are good on under mahomes two nine
Speaker 1: and a half yards or whatever in a single game,
Speaker 1: I think in a one game, and I'm just like,
Speaker 1: I just don't want to want to root for that,
Speaker 1: And it might be the smart move, but when you
Speaker 1: have a example, if the Niners were in this game.
Speaker 1: They have a strong defense, and how still talking about
Speaker 1: the Niners, maybe you take the under because you know
Speaker 1: there's a great defense, but you have so such explosive offenses,
Speaker 1: like we haven't even named half the weapons on the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: And even see right before you came on though, I said, like, okay,
Speaker 1: real quick, before we start to begin to wrap up.
Speaker 1: We may never wrap But in my mind, when you
Speaker 1: look taking quarterback out of play, when you start going
Speaker 1: like skill position players, I think Kelsey's one, and I
Speaker 1: think you name like three eagles at least before you
Speaker 1: get to the next Chief, right, you'd probably go Sanders
Speaker 1: and maybe Davante, right, I guess the way you could say,
Speaker 1: then you start getting to Check. That's I think Check
Speaker 1: goes the sneaky one that fits in that top four, right,
Speaker 1: But you're right there, and then there's what receiver is next?
Speaker 1: For Cheeks, it's the flavor of the week and Jerick
Speaker 1: McKinnon is going to prove me wrong and scored three times.
Speaker 1: You know sant Lane he had a hundred sixteen in
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game, and then the previous six he
Speaker 1: had a total of a hundred seven and watch it's
Speaker 1: going to be Kadarius Tony this week. It's just the
Speaker 1: way they run that offensive and activated, so you never
Speaker 1: know where he's going to jump into this. Is he
Speaker 1: listening now? Have we listed all? Yeah? I think we've
Speaker 1: got it. Yeah, okay, I'm I drafted it with Delayer
Speaker 1: in an auction draft for like eighty dollars for three
Speaker 1: years ago, and that was arguably one of the worst
Speaker 1: picks ever. I'm just saying, I just don't know how
Speaker 1: much he's gonna get the ball. Like McKinnon's good in
Speaker 1: the spots that they use him, I think he's very,
Speaker 1: very dangerous, So I just wonder if he's going to
Speaker 1: get the ball. I mean maybe in the emergency situation.
Speaker 1: We'll find out. This live thing has done something to
Speaker 1: all of us all here now, we're all too busy.
Speaker 1: We don't want to see each other every week. Thanks
Speaker 1: for tweeting at us too, because we had a lot
Speaker 1: of fun playing that game with you. In the first
Speaker 1: five who responded, we'll be getting the bonus. Bet. I
Speaker 1: just got a little clarification from someone who's much above
Speaker 1: my pay grade. Pete. Thanks for joining us again. It's
Speaker 1: been great looking forward to more of it. Thanks, Well
Speaker 1: that was fun. Wow. Don't you wish all of these
Speaker 1: were in person? I will just say live and being
Speaker 1: in person and just feeling the energy at the bet
Speaker 1: MGM Sports Book. You know, there's like nine other shows
Speaker 1: going on here while we record this show. There's live
Speaker 1: on the line, there's right, So there's definitely an energy
Speaker 1: and I look forward to doing this more. As we
Speaker 1: closed the show, and what a blast. Thank you to
Speaker 1: Jay Glazer, Peter Andrew. Great props, great time, great trivia.
Speaker 1: Now let's talk emotional stuff. Okay, Well it started when
Speaker 1: I was yeah, this is your one of your teams
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. Okay, in your mind, what needs
Speaker 1: to happen for the Chiefs to win this game? Chiefs
Speaker 1: need to run the damn ball. Coach, run the ball.
Speaker 1: Yeah they do. And I think with all the gadgets
Speaker 1: and gizmos and the fantastical play calling of Andy Reid,
Speaker 1: I almost think they need to pair it back because
Speaker 1: here's what happens in the Super Bowl. You got everything
Speaker 1: you got. There are no more plays to hold back.
Speaker 1: So I think it's very tempting as a coach and
Speaker 1: for a genius play caller on both sides to want
Speaker 1: to get fancy. I think the Chiefs need to not
Speaker 1: be fancy. They need to keep Patrick just upright. One
Speaker 1: more game, one more game, and it has been superhuman
Speaker 1: to watch his recovery and to see any footage from
Speaker 1: practice like we have. I think they need to run
Speaker 1: the ball, take advantage of a defense that allows like
Speaker 1: six point six yards per carry or something that they
Speaker 1: and the NFL and yards per carry allowed, take advantage.
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty simple. Well, I want to just
Speaker 1: say good luck to your Chiefs, thank you, good luck
Speaker 1: to all the betters out there. I know it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a crazy one. All the performers. We've got some
Speaker 1: great performers, will be a great halftime show. Didn't even
Speaker 1: talk about Rihanna. Oh yeah I did when I did, Uh,
Speaker 1: I did a show earlier to talk about like the
Speaker 1: betting odds. What is she going to open the show with?
Speaker 1: And well, I haven't say. I say close with diamonds.
Speaker 1: I think umbrellas in the middle, and I don't. I
Speaker 1: just don't know what she's gonna open it. Either way,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be great. And then we're gonna have to
Speaker 1: start getting our minds into talking hoops after this, because
Speaker 1: we're gonna have nothing. Sundays are over. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: bad soccer games. And then, uh, I don't even know
Speaker 1: we're gonna go. We're gonna go story time at the library.
Speaker 1: I'll even know what I'm gonna do one Sundays. It's
Speaker 1: over for me. I'm sure your family will tell you.
Speaker 1: I'm a marked man. It's over for me. So room
