Today's episode the twenty eight to three game 0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:55.000 Super Bowl fifty one. You're Patriots versus the Atlanta Falcons. 0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:58.240 Great game, great game. We have Danny A. Mondola born, 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:02.520 raised in Houston, where this Super Bowl took place. It's 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:04.600 gonna be a This gonna be a good one. This 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:07.119 was a crazy game, man. I remember where I was 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:10.520 watching this game. I remember I remember where I was. 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:14.640 You were making a huge ass play fourth quarter. I 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:18.160 don't remember keep going. It was crazy, man, I mean 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:20.480 this is I think a lot of us were rooting 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:22.480 against the Pats here, a lot of us. I know. 0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:25.000 I thought I was like Matt Ryan's a new guy. 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:31.760 Brady's He's finished. Belichick's finished, It's over. The Pat's rain 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:36.440 has come to a close. And uh, you knew, I 0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:38.720 you know, I didn't know because you look. You take 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.080 a look at this game, and you have the Atlanta Falcons, 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:45.440 the number one scoring offense, Matt Ryan, the MVP, Dan Quinn, 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:49.520 the founder of that Seattle six defense that's over here, 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.680 the head coach for the Atlanta Falcons now. And then 0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:54.920 you have the on the other spectrum, you have Tom 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:57.480 Brady on the revenge game. He was suspended earlier in 0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:02.680 the year for what, like, what is it the flake game? What? 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:04.840 I don't even know what that even means. That he 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:07.640 took some hair out of the ball. No, it's scientifically 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:11.239 proven through the PSI when the temperatures are below thirty 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:16.560 two degrees PSI drops. I mean, I watched a whole 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:19.679 Bill Nye science guy. I'm gonna take your words for it. 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:22.560 I have not seen that, but I mean this was 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.400 this was like a heartbreaker for the Falcons. I mean 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:32.480 the Falcons. Atlanta loves their Falcons. They they needed this. 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:35.040 I've seen them. They walk a little differently after this. 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:38.800 Matt Ryan just like was the MVP. This year he 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.320 was MVP. I mean, he was a dude. We were 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.400 like this, dude's on the rise. You know what this 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:45.840 was for him? This is like if the movie Kill Bill, 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.520 if she gets the Bill and then he kills her. Yeah, 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:51.880 Like like you're like, wow, all that for to just 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:57.280 get killed? Yeah, That's exactly how it was. Sam and 0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:01.160 and he uh, it was unfortunate to see what has 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:04.960 been the butterfly effect of Matt Ryan after this, But 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:09.120 he walks differently now. He really does, he really does. 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:11.840 I mean this is it's like if you have sex 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:13.600 with the hottest woman of your life and you can't 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:15.560 get hard. That's what I think this was for him. 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:19.799 This was the biggest night and he couldn't. He couldn't 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:21.919 get it up. He couldn't he got it up for 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:24.840 a second. For a second, You're like, wow, he's really 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:29.320 he's hard. He didn't have access, no no blue pills. 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.960 Yeah it'll kill that'll that'll kill you. Guys were blue 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.560 pilled up in that in that end of the third 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:38.600 to the fourth through overtime, we were we were raging. 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.839 You were raging, we were raging, rock hard, we were 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:45.000 let's just say we were full dude it was. I mean, 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:49.040 you were huge. You were huge that play you made 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:50.960 in the end. I know some people say it was 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:54.400 first down, you had other chances to get it, but 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:58.200 that was that was some crazy shit. It was. It 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:00.120 was a cool play. But what about that play with 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:04.000 Julio Jones on the sideline making an insane catch. If 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:06.040 they would have won the game, my catch would have 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:07.920 been nothing, and it would have been a Julio Jones 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.640 catch for the Super Bowl. So you know, I'm super 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:13.960 excited to go over this game. Let's go back though, 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:20.320 back to February fifth, twenty seventeen. Yeah, what was going on? 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.320 I was. I was in Boston. I remember I was. 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:25.480 Actually I was playing a comedy called Laugh Boston. I 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:27.120 looked it up. I had a weird month. I remember, 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:30.880 I was. I was.

I'm like, 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:41.080 a gig's a gig man. J c C needs love too, baby, Yeah, 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.200 the j c C needs love. They do. Now, you 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:47.599 were in Boston watching this game. I came back that 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.479 Sunday to watch it in New York but yeah, I 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:52.200 was in Boston. I wish you would have just got 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:55.560 to feel. I'm so glad I got You're so glad 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:57.720 I got out. You've never really felt this energy and 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:01.920 probably your life. That's not true. Eli Manning. He gave 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:04.480 it to me twice, and he gave it to you, guys, twice. 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.000 He gave it to us. To Eli, he had the 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:09.599 blue pill. That game. Dude he was. Eli was like 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:12.039 the dude he could. He only got hard when it mattered. 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:16.039 Eli was like every moment of his life. He was 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.560 just like, I don't And then the playoffs came, and 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:23.279 so did Giants fans. Am I right, guys? Gosh, I 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:25.440 hate the Giants. Oh my god, it's it's such a 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:28.000 funny thing to have over Patriots. It's so weird that 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:31.160 we have that, you know what. I respect the Giants. 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:34.680 Oh they were bad as Yeah, I'm gonna save it. 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:36.800 I'm sorry, I'm saving this for the Giants. Save it. 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:41.160 But all right, you were in Boston. You were in Houston. 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:46.000 I was in Houston. We were both kind of working. Yeah, 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.960 we were both working. Number one movie, Number one movie, 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.359 the Lego Batman movie. Do you ever see that? I 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.760 never saw it. Did you see it? I tried to 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:55.800 watch you with my little girl for a while. It's 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:57.960 just it's a lot and I don't really think it's 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.800 for children, really, I really do. There's like a lot 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:04.200 of like adult humor in there. I'm sitting there, I'm like, uh, 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.479 isn't that weird when they make movies. I remember I 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.280 took my niece to see Ralph Breaks the Internet, and 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:11.599 you know, at one point she starts crying. She's like, 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:14.320 I'm scared. I'm like, you picked the fucking movie. What 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:18.440 the hell? Yeah, this wasn't my first pick. Yeah, you know, 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:20.560 that's that's a difference between uncle and dad. You let 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.880 them and you gotta guide him sometimes. But we'll break 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:26.040 that down another time. We'll break it down the other times. 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:28.440 I never saw it. I heard people love it though 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:32.479 bad and Bougie that's a good tune. And how many 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:36.880 times did you see an Instagram story of a girl 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:40.279 with you know, doing the bad and bougie? Yeah? Was 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:44.800 TikTok around then? TikTok was just coming out? Maybe no Jack, 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:50.640 was this TikTok there? TikTok came out twenty sixteen, twenty sixteen, 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:53.040 so this could have been on TikTok it. None of 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:57.000 us were on TikTok yet. Absolutely absolutely that was That 0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.200 was a big tune, though it was a lot of 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:03.120 butts shake into that tune. What else some ridiculous trends. 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:07.040 How about the little salt big guy. Oh dude, he's huge. 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.360 He's got like forty five million followers. He's I think 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:13.320 more followers in Obama. How crazy? We got a fact 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:16.880 check on that, Jack, I could be wrong, check check Instagram. 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:20.800 It's it's because he just put salt on. Like if 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:23.920 this was like nowadays, if he made his big hit 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:25.800 right now during COVID, I would I don't think I 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.920 would want him touching my food and then getting his 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:31.280 forearm after he was just got a great forearm, by 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:33.560 the way, thank you.

Remember the 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.760 movie Over the Top with Slvester Stallone. It was the 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:45.000 arm wrestling one where you don't remember that movie over 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:48.680 the Top he had. Is that a big movie?

It was a great movie. We'll 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:02.880 move on from that. We'll pull up Rotten Tomatoes show 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:04.200 over the Top.

I kid you not, guys, 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:52.719 this is not did you ever do one of these? No? 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:56.560 But I was with Rob Nikovich this past Saturday and 0:08:56.600 --> 0:09:00.079 he was wearing a pineapple romper at his barbecue, you 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.040 that he wore, and then I would we had some 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:04.440 Rhode Island. You know people over there that that are 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:08.240 Fromode Island. And I guess if you're wearing pineapples, that 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:11.760 means you're a swinger. Wow. And then if you go 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:14.800 to like a grocery store, why why is pineapple? I 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:16.440 have no clue, But I guess if you go to 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:19.079 a grocery store and if you see someone with the 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:24.120 upside down pineapple in their cart, that means they're down. 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:27.760 Really yeah, I gotta start going to the grocery store 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:31.120 just just lingering in the whole foods. Dude, you better 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:33.680 put that pineapple upside down. That's you know some you know, 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:36.319 some old ladies like, oh, look at that lovely pineapple. 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:38.440 Sure she doesn't know, she has no clue, there's no 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:41.920 idea what she let you introduce her? Uh? What the 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:44.680 romper men and rompers to me is like if that's 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:46.920 the last imagine being at the urinal on a dude. 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:50.400 He's taking it off. But is it a one piece 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:52.120 or is it just a two is? I think it's 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:56.160 a two piece. No, it's a one piece. Not not 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:59.720 for men, not for men, yeah, I think I may 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:02.000 have gotta go. You gotta have aye. The women's bath 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.040 I have worn one, you've worn one. I think I 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:05.959 have all right. I don't mean to shame here. It's 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:07.319 all right. We don't shame him. This is a we 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:12.280 don't we canceled canceling on this podcast. The game day, 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.440 game day tweets, game day tweets. Day of the game, 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:21.000 Julian tweeted game day hashtag won more, hashtag let's go. 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:25.800 And this week of the game, Sam did not tweet 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:28.080 or he probably got it scrubbed. I probably got it scrubbed. 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:32.560 That probably wrote something racist or misogynistic. And you know, hey, 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:36.040 comedy is comedy. Hey, it's hard to pay those bills. 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:38.000 I'm just, you know what, I just I'm trying to 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.800 protect the future here. Hey, that aren't we all. Let's 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:43.800 get into the teams. The twenty sixteen New England Patriots 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:47.520 fourteen and two. That's pretty damn good. Lost one first 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:52.480 four when Brady was out against I think the Buffalo Bills. 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:56.000 And then week was this when Garoppolo was qban. Garoppolo 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:59.880 came in first three, he heard his shoulder and the 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:04.000 Jacoby Burssett came in and we won that. He finished 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:06.640 the third game, we lost, ended up losing to the 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:09.440 fourth game, but no one could play because Jacoby broke 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:13.079 his thumb or something that I don't know. You won 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:17.120 the AFC East for the eighth consecutive year best scoring defense. Brady, 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:22.319 as you said, suspended four games because of deflake Gate. Uh. Yeah, 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:25.280 I mean, damn, this is a speculation, this would be 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:27.800 that this would be Brady's last run. Yeah, I mean 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.440 this is crazy. I remember thinking, like, I guess Brady 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:34.600 is done. Did you guys ever think that? Or no, 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:36.960 you had a feeling he could have gone forever here. 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:39.880 I was hoping he was gonna go forever. I was 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.839 always you know, they train you over there to have 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:47.800 everything like blinders on, worry about what's going on now. 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:50.679 And yes there was rumbles and talks of what's gonna 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:55.679 happen potentially, But like, did he seem irked by that? Ah? 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:59.240 I don't know. I don't. He's got He's got unbelievable 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:04.839 partmentalization skills. So like, Brady's the same kind of guy 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:07.920 every day when he comes in. Now there's a select 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:10.120 few of people that know him, and he'll open up 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:13.040 too but like for everyone, like Brady is like the 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.080 ultimate leader. You know, he comes in. Did you have 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:18.400 a rock of pineapple romper in the green room? I 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:20.360 don't think he. I don't think he did. Just why 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:22.400 did you say the greenroom? I'm a moron in the 0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:25.480 locker room. Locker room? Hey man, it's that's that's your 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:28.320 locker room, though, the green room is your locker room. True, 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:31.160 you know, is there green room talk? There's greenroom talk 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:33.600 because there's locker room talk. Yeah, yeah, all heard that. 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:35.679 I would hope. I mean, that would be weird if 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:38.520 you kept at PG in in this this year. Didn't. 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:40.920 Wasn't that like a huge thing about locker room talk 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:44.079 in twenty sixteen with Trump and stuff? Yeah? I think so, 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:47.400 the locker room talk. But let's let's jump over to 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:51.360 the Falcons. Yeah, twenty sixteen Falcons eleven and five. They 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:56.000 were hot. They lost. The crazy thing is both these 0:12:56.040 --> 0:13:00.960 two teams twenty sixteen Pats and Falcons lost to Seattle. Hmm, 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:05.840 that's crazy. Crazy. Dan Quinn's second years as a head 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:10.040 coach came over from Seattle, implicated that awesome defense that 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:13.080 helped them partnered with that great offense with Matt Ryan, 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:18.240 Julio Jones, Momo, Devonte Freeman. Like this was a stout, 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:23.800 crazy team. Little side note, Kyle Shanahan's last game was 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:27.240 going to San Francisco. Does this lead into like does 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:30.160 this This kind of made me think because I remember 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:33.079 when Billy O'Brien we were in the Super Bowl in 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:37.600 twenty eleven, going playing in Indianapolis and he was leaving. 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:40.440 He knew he was leaving to Penn State. This was 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:43.240 the collapse that they had going in from the third 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:46.240 quarter in the offense kind of had it, you know, sputtered. 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:50.120 Was Kyle Shanahan's mind already in San Francisco. I don't know. 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.120 Does this affect the team? Kind of does it? I 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:54.760 don't know, but Billy O'Brien did it. We ended up 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:56.920 losing that Super Bowl. It kind of reminds me of that. 0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:59.920 So this is the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history. 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.400 I mean, that's that? Is that going through your head? 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:04.600 I'm thinking the locker room, you're down I think twenty 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:07.120 one to three, but then there's two and a half 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.640 three minutes left in the third quarter, you're down twenty 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:11.600 eight to three. Is there a point where you were 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:16.280 like we lost. Nah, but after that twenty eight to three, 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:18.800 Y're sitting there like, we can't mess up anymore. What's 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:20.880 the vibe in the locker room? You know that was 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:22.720 a raw rock guy. You know it's gonna be a 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:25.440 hell of a story. Come on, guys. You know everyone 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:28.040 was pretty much focused in. You know, the coaches were 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.720 doing a good job kind of settling guys down, like, hey, 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:35.040 we were moving the football. We just need to tighten 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:37.280 things up. We had three things we had to do 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:41.120 in this game that were like specific coaching points. We 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:43.120 couldn't turn the ball over. We had a pick six 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:45.480 and we turned the ball over with Legarrett Blunt on 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:48.120 a drive going into the end zone or going into 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:51.800 scoring area. We had to score in the red area. 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:53.680 We didn't do that. We kicked a field goal in 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:55.480 the first half, and we threw a pick six in 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:57.520 the red area. And we had to do well on 0:14:57.600 --> 0:14:59.840 third down, and I don't think our third down numbers 0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:02.720 were good by any means in the first two and 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:06.080 a half quarters. So like we were playing the game 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:09.440 the way we couldn't play to beat a very good 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:12.080 football team. In order to combat a really good offense, 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:13.960 you got to keep that other defense on the field, 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:16.400 and we were not doing that. But we knew if 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:19.800 we tightened things up, we played one play at a 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:22.640 time like we were moving the ball. We were doing 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:26.360 pretty well. It's just we weren't finishing drives. We had 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:28.960 one play mess up. And that's the thing with football. 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:31.920 It's an ultimate team sport. Eleven men have to do 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:35.440 their job at the same time for six seconds, and 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:38.000 if one guy messes up, it could be a colossal 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:42.200 fuck up. This becomes the fifth Super Bowl for the Patriots. Yeah, 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:45.480 one for the thumb. Does this make Tom Brady the goat? 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:48.760 He becomes the all time leader in Super Bowls for 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:52.800 a quarterback. Belichick becomes the all time leader of Super 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:56.960 Bowls for a coach? Sam, is it annoying that Patriots 0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:58.760 are just winning and doing anyse things? As a New 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:02.120 York fan, I think you're breeding some obnoxious kids in Boston. 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:04.120 I think I think when you look at how much 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:06.200 they've wont it's not just your fault. The Red Sox 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:10.440 are winning, the Bruins, you know, the Celtics. The Celtics 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:14.680 got yeah they got one, and yeah, I mean yeah, 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:19.200 it's your breeding. An annoying an annoying fan base of 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:22.640 kids who are entitled and expect greatness. I mean, I'll 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:27.040 put it this way. I'm Knicks, Yankees, Rangers, Giants. The 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:31.680 Knicks losing throughout my childhood gave me a sense of humility, 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:34.000 you know what I mean. The Yankees Yankees fans got 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:37.920 too cocky because you kind of had that expectation. I 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.840 think they I think they lost their stripes Yankees fans. Yeah, 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:44.280 they've lost the stripes. They haven't. They haven't lost it. No, 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:46.800 they're in first place right now. They're doing great there, 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:51.680 they're rocking. But you know, uh no, Yeah, it annoyed me. 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:55.920 I expected you guys to lose. I didn't think you're 0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:58.840 gonna come back. I mean the fact that this Brady 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:01.320 become the goat this game, right, I mean, that's the 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:03.520 that's the crazy thing. He's probably the goat here and 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:06.159 then he keeps playing it is weird. I thought he 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:09.040 was the goat before though. On four. Yeah, because he 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:11.280 did in a free agent era. He did it. He 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:13.480 didn't he did in a free agent era like back 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:17.639 in the day when Bradshaw Montana, you know, and Aikman 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.840 when he got three these these quarterbacks a lot of 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:24.200 these teams were bought. There was no salary cap. There 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:28.000 was like free agency was lacking, and and Tom went 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:30.720 through two different you know teams. You know, he had 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:33.640 the first generation Pats where he won three. Then this 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:36.080 is his second with the second generation Pats. Then he 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:37.960 goes on to win it, you know, in the future 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:40.000 another one. So like, I don't know, that's a hot take. 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:41.640 Everyone wants to talk about it, but I mean it's 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:44.600 hard to do it with different teams. What was I 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:48.119 mean the energy going into overtime when you guys tie it, 0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:52.760 I mean that was insane. You're down, uh, twenty twenty 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:54.760 eight to twelve at a certain point. So then it's like, 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.280 all right, it's a two possession game, mister field goal. Right, 0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:01.919 so it's twenty it's twenty twenty eight to twelve. You 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:05.359 have to do two touchdowns and to two point conversions, 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:07.920 which is very hard. That's what people don't realize. The 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:12.080 two point conversion. Getting one is very hard. It's just 0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:15.280 for some reason, it's always extremely hard. There's less space, 0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:18.359 there's less area in the red area, especially on the two. 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:22.240 You got guys pinned back ready to go at it 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:25.160 to get two. That was pretty insane. But to have 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:28.800 the blinders on, like I said, and guys believing if 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:31.000 we just do one play at a time. You know, 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:33.040 once we got that ball in halftime, we knew we 0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:35.520 were winning. We knew we were winning. The only thing 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:38.760 worse than the Falcons collapse in the Super Bowl was 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:42.960 the Kendall Jenner commercial. You remember that, the Pepsi one 0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:45.919 whereas it's like the protesters and the cops and she 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:49.760 hands a cop a pepsi. You know that's just and 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:52.280 that's supposed to say. Everyone's like, oh, we could drink pepsi. 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:55.200 This is like, this was the beginning of like Twitter 0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:58.800 really being like you idiot, what are you doing. They're 0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:01.840 remaking this one and Kiev where she hands one to 0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:05.439 the Russian military and it really saves everything. I mean, 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:08.199 the Jenners, they just they're there, world savers. They are 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:12.760 world savers. Jenners and Kardashians. Yeah, everyone's trying to be 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:14.640 like them. Everyone's trying to look like them, ever trying 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:16.600 to be with them. This was kind of the beginning 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:18.520 of Kendall in the public eye. I feel like too, 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:21.280 this was like her, Yeah, this was her her starting 0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:25.080 point and of her going on, and Kendall is the 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:28.399 one that ruins basketball player's careers, right, I think so, 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:30.520 I mean I think they all do. I think that's 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:34.160 like the Kardashian curse, right, so Kardashian Jenner, Yeah, both 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:36.359 of them. It's a slash. It's a slash hyphenated or 0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:39.520 is a slashed? No, I don't think it's Is it hyphenate? No, 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:43.040 it's slash. It's a slash. It's definitely slash. But you know, yeah, 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:45.920 she dated book or who else did she date? She? 0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:49.359 I think they just ruined everybody. Simmons and Men's. Wow, 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:52.719 that's tough. Blake Griffin. Blake also just played at a 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:55.560 crazy physical level. I mean he's you know, yeah, but 0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:58.399 they started dating. Then he got traded to Detroit. That's 0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:01.560 tough from La La, Like, I'm not a big La guy. 0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:07.560 But Detroit, Oh, Detroit's actually pretty fun. I mean everything's 0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:09.960 pretty fun for you. You You have a good life, yeah, 0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:13.200 but you know Detroit, you go there, you feel American. 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:17.920 You see nothing about nothing but American in La over 0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:22.280 Detroit for a reason. Yeah, my child lives here, sam 0:20:23.040 --> 0:20:25.800 my child. But if your child moved to Detroit, you'd 0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:29.000 be like shit, dude, I'd be so happy. Have you 0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:32.000 had Detroit style pizza? It's like square pizza. It is 0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:35.600 great pizza. It's really good pizza. I'm not I've had 0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:39.080 great times in Detroit. I wouldn't want to live in Detroit. Hey, man, 0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:43.000 you know it's the heartland. It's the heartland. Making sure 0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:46.560 not to alienate listeners here. How many? How many? What 0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:48.560 if you got traded at the Detroit Lions, would you 0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:54.560 be happy? Who's the quarterback? Is this Stafford? Sure? Hey, 0:20:55.440 --> 0:20:59.320 I wouldn't. You'd rather the Tom Brady New England Patriots. 0:20:59.520 --> 0:21:01.520 Was Tom in New England when I got traded? Yeah, 0:21:01.560 --> 0:21:03.840 then that'd be Yeah. I mean it's different. It's different. 0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:06.720 I mean that's apples and oranges. Sam, all right, you know, 0:21:07.000 --> 0:21:09.359 work and living. I refuse to believe you'd be happy 0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:12.240 to go to there's a crazy Hi. There's some nice areas, 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:16.880 sure I've been. It's I've had great times in Detroit. 0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:21.640 I'm just saying Detroit rock city. Man. Yeah. How many 0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:23.840 memes did you see on this? A lot of? Man? 0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:26.959 Twenty eight to three. I still see it the scoreboard. 0:21:27.040 --> 0:21:29.720 They won't the date. The Falcons will never live this down. 0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:31.880 That's what's tough is like, we all know how hard 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:33.600 it is. And by we all, I mean you to 0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:36.920 get to the super Bowl, it's it's hard. It's very 0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:41.000 They make it to the super Bowl, and to lose 0:21:41.240 --> 0:21:44.320 in to be this close and to lose, that's that's 0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:47.640 honestly the worst as an athlete. Yeah, Like, you rather 0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:50.119 lose in the AFC Championship. Of course, you got to 0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:52.000 lose in the first round. You lose in the super Bowl, 0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:54.480 it ruins your whole offseason. You have a taste in 0:21:54.480 --> 0:21:56.840 the back of your throat that you just can't get 0:21:56.920 --> 0:21:59.840 rid of. He was thinking about top Matt Ryan was 0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:03.840 picturing hoisting the trophy. You know, it was in his mind. 0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:07.560 You know, they had those T shirts a ready coming out, Yeah, 0:22:07.880 --> 0:22:10.200 before they shipped them to a third world country where 0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:15.800 they think the Falcons roughed you guys up. Yeah. And 0:22:15.840 --> 0:22:20.320 the thing is, we did see people start coming on 0:22:20.359 --> 0:22:23.440 the sideline, and I bet that fired you up. I 0:22:23.520 --> 0:22:27.040 mean we're like, what are we doing? What? What are 0:22:27.080 --> 0:22:31.400 we doing? You can't do that, but hey, I feel 0:22:31.440 --> 0:22:33.680 like Tom is also a dude that if you give 0:22:33.720 --> 0:22:38.400 him any fuel, any anything, any fuel. Did he say 0:22:38.400 --> 0:22:41.720 anything in the locker room at halftime. No, he's Tom's 0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:46.160 He's got to stay level minded because everyone's watching them. Yeah, 0:22:46.200 --> 0:22:50.439 you know he and then sometimes when you're that like big, 0:22:52.240 --> 0:22:54.520 he can't. He can't go and raw rock guys all 0:22:54.520 --> 0:22:58.080 the time because it could make him freeze. You know, 0:22:58.119 --> 0:23:00.479 they get all scared. It's Tom Brady. The guys been 0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:03.239 watching them since they were like two, and then now 0:23:03.240 --> 0:23:05.040 they're playing on the same team with them. And this 0:23:05.240 --> 0:23:07.320 was like five years ago and I can only met 0:23:07.400 --> 0:23:10.240 there's like kids that aren't even born five years into 0:23:10.320 --> 0:23:13.040 their career now that are playing with them. But it's nuts. Now, 0:23:13.119 --> 0:23:15.160 he didn't do that. It's been in the league as 0:23:15.200 --> 0:23:18.400 long as one of his teammates has been alive. Now, yeah, 0:23:18.440 --> 0:23:22.960 I think multiple, Yeah, it's crazy multiple. Yeah, dude's got 0:23:23.000 --> 0:23:28.640 a he's got he's got some durability pliability. I guess 0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:30.800 I just picture him. I've seen too many football movies 0:23:30.840 --> 0:23:33.600 where I just picture him being like, you pussies need 0:23:33.640 --> 0:23:35.719 to make us proud, and you're like, but he doesn't. 0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:39.160 He doesn't do that. It wasn't like that. No, there's 0:23:39.160 --> 0:23:41.399 other guys for that. There's other guys for that. And 0:23:41.760 --> 0:23:43.760 did anyone talk up and say like, what do you got? 0:23:43.800 --> 0:23:45.919 You guys want to you guys want to be a 0:23:45.960 --> 0:23:48.680 disgrace that you guys want to lose to Atlanta. No, 0:23:48.800 --> 0:23:53.280 it's it's that's kind of raw rock college stuff. Oh okay. 0:23:53.320 --> 0:23:59.159 You know in the pros, especially with the team teams 0:23:59.200 --> 0:24:01.439 that I wrote that I was on with the Patriots, 0:24:01.440 --> 0:24:03.160 they bring in good guys, you know what I mean. 0:24:03.240 --> 0:24:06.560 A lot of it is like the psychological the psychological 0:24:07.040 --> 0:24:09.600 makeup of a lot of these guys are like hard 0:24:09.600 --> 0:24:13.280 working dudes. That team guys. You know, there wasn't a 0:24:13.320 --> 0:24:16.639 lot of divas, so it wasn't really like that. It 0:24:16.720 --> 0:24:19.160 was like we have to focus up or you know, 0:24:19.240 --> 0:24:21.440 it's going to be a shitty day. How about Belichick? 0:24:21.480 --> 0:24:26.399 What did he say? Belichick doesn't like he's very good 0:24:26.440 --> 0:24:30.760 at understanding what his team needs and when they need it. 0:24:30.800 --> 0:24:32.760 So if they're doing really well, he's going to cut 0:24:32.840 --> 0:24:35.639 you down. Wow, if you're doing if you guys are 0:24:35.640 --> 0:24:37.520 blowing a team out, well we could have done this, 0:24:37.640 --> 0:24:40.200 we kind of done we could do this. But if 0:24:40.200 --> 0:24:42.600 we're doing it's a pretty good Belichick there. Hey, I 0:24:42.680 --> 0:24:46.399 was around him for a long time and yeah, and 0:24:46.440 --> 0:24:49.760 so but if the team is doing shitty like he's 0:24:49.760 --> 0:24:51.639 going to give you the answers what he thinks it 0:24:51.760 --> 0:24:53.600 is that we have to do all right, fellas, we 0:24:53.640 --> 0:24:55.240 gotta do this. We got to tighten it up. It's 0:24:55.359 --> 0:24:57.400 very this is you know, this is this is work, 0:24:57.480 --> 0:25:00.920 this is a business. This isn't you know the program 0:25:01.160 --> 0:25:04.280 or or you know the old movies, any given Sunday 0:25:04.520 --> 0:25:07.080 or that's a good one. And again it was Sunday Solid. 0:25:07.200 --> 0:25:10.640 That was really good. Jamie Fox, Willie Steamen Beaman, come on, man, 0:25:10.680 --> 0:25:14.400 Willy Beaman, keep the girl. I like how that movie 0:25:14.440 --> 0:25:17.160 they had to be like this, like the Something Sharks. Yeah, 0:25:17.240 --> 0:25:20.240 because the NFL clearly will not like clearly not just 0:25:20.280 --> 0:25:24.000 doing blow and banging women and chopping cars in half. 0:25:24.119 --> 0:25:28.320 Remember the show playmakers, Yes, three end, Yes, well they did. 0:25:28.359 --> 0:25:30.320 That was another one where they couldn't use NFL teams 0:25:30.320 --> 0:25:32.640 because it was like dudes beating their wives and stuff 0:25:32.720 --> 0:25:35.400 and uh, what's his name? That was the whole plot. 0:25:35.440 --> 0:25:37.280 First off, the tight end is gay on that show. 0:25:37.359 --> 0:25:38.920 That was all which like a little on the nose, 0:25:39.280 --> 0:25:42.879 but uh, the tight end come on, and then uh 0:25:43.520 --> 0:25:46.200 then uh the running back beat his wife and he's 0:25:46.240 --> 0:25:47.960 like it's a war on the field. You're telling me 0:25:48.240 --> 0:25:51.399 it can't be award home and you're like, yeah, of 0:25:51.440 --> 0:25:54.240 course you gotta you gotta not do that at home 0:25:54.359 --> 0:25:58.520 to a got it. I mean, if we look at 0:25:58.520 --> 0:26:01.439 the track record, it doesn't look like it was far off. Yeah. No, 0:26:01.520 --> 0:26:03.719 it was a great show, didn't I didn't watch it 0:26:03.840 --> 0:26:06.040 was my makers back in the day. It was on ESPN. 0:26:06.080 --> 0:26:11.200 I think, wasn't it You remember that right Manney making? Yeah, 0:26:11.400 --> 0:26:15.800 cougars and then uh yeah, any given Sunday is great, though, great, 0:26:15.920 --> 0:26:18.840 that's a classic Pacino. Life is a game of it. 0:26:18.880 --> 0:26:21.480 See that's what I picture Belichick being like life is 0:26:21.520 --> 0:26:25.800 a game of inches, you know, which he wouldn't do. Nah. 0:26:26.000 --> 0:26:28.720 He's more of like, we got a block, and he 0:26:28.840 --> 0:26:32.359 does this weird handclap like where or he is like 0:26:32.400 --> 0:26:34.480 a podium and he hits the podium with his hand 0:26:34.520 --> 0:26:36.359 and I look at that and I'm like, it's gotta hurt. 0:26:36.920 --> 0:26:39.160 It's gotta hurt. Every time he goes we had block, 0:26:39.600 --> 0:26:42.400 you had to tackle, and you're like, that's all we really, 0:26:42.440 --> 0:26:46.000 that's it. Yeah, And then we do those things and 0:26:46.040 --> 0:26:47.800 we end up winning, and it's like, oh fuck, it's 0:26:47.840 --> 0:26:50.359 not that hard. It keeps it simple. You think of 0:26:50.400 --> 0:26:52.880 the movies and like Pacino in any given Sunday, he goes, 0:26:52.920 --> 0:26:54.480 he goes a little too hard on that speech where 0:26:54.480 --> 0:26:56.280 he's like, I made every remember the thing where he goes, 0:26:56.280 --> 0:26:58.359 I made every young choice a middle aged man could make. 0:26:58.400 --> 0:26:59.879 And you're like, why are you saying this far? This 0:27:00.480 --> 0:27:03.000 seems a little too much. Nah, But there are coaches 0:27:03.119 --> 0:27:08.760 like that that are you know, like who Billy O'Brien. Yeah, 0:27:08.800 --> 0:27:11.879 he was a very hearty guy. You know, he's the 0:27:11.920 --> 0:27:13.399 head coach or he was the head coach of the 0:27:13.560 --> 0:27:16.320 Houston Texans and Penn State. Did they like that? You 0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:19.359 think some guys do. But you know then sometimes you 0:27:19.440 --> 0:27:22.600 got a guy making twenty million dollars sitting here looking 0:27:22.600 --> 0:27:24.760 at a guy yelling at him saying, hey, fuck you dude, 0:27:24.840 --> 0:27:26.959 shut up. Yeah, you know what I mean. So like 0:27:27.920 --> 0:27:30.680 it's uh, and we didn't have many of those guys, 0:27:30.920 --> 0:27:33.199 but there it's just they got cut. Probably if you 0:27:33.240 --> 0:27:35.080 had an a get cut. It's just if they were 0:27:35.080 --> 0:27:37.200 going to invest in someone, it was going to probably 0:27:37.240 --> 0:27:41.119 be in a guy that's not going to be a problem. Distractions. 0:27:41.520 --> 0:27:44.320 But let's get over to the gaming Corner presented by 0:27:44.640 --> 0:27:49.600 win Bett. The betting lines of this game Patriots were 0:27:49.640 --> 0:27:54.719 minus three won that one. Yeah, over and under fifty 0:27:54.720 --> 0:28:02.200 three to one Patriots. What is mL money money line? Geez, 0:28:02.440 --> 0:28:05.560 I'm on a gambling show. This is a gambling segment. 0:28:05.600 --> 0:28:09.280 Are you a gambler? Not a big gambler? I don't 0:28:09.320 --> 0:28:12.080 like losing money. I gambled once and we all saw 0:28:12.160 --> 0:28:17.359 how that went one hundred K down the toilet. Not cool. 0:28:18.040 --> 0:28:20.080 But let's do our prop bet. Bet with your heart. 0:28:21.760 --> 0:28:24.840 That's the problem. If you bet with your heart, you 0:28:24.840 --> 0:28:26.560 should be betting with your head, right, Yeah, I know 0:28:26.680 --> 0:28:28.800 your heart? You always? I mean, dude, if I if 0:28:28.880 --> 0:28:32.399 I bet with my heart, I'd never win. So but 0:28:32.480 --> 0:28:34.560 then the one time you try to bet with your head, 0:28:34.560 --> 0:28:38.240 you lose too. Do you think? So? Always? What's this 0:28:38.320 --> 0:28:40.200 prop bet going to be? I don't know what should 0:28:40.240 --> 0:28:45.520 we do? How many? How many times you can say, hmmm, 0:28:46.960 --> 0:28:51.520 how many times will Danny bring up you gotta believe? 0:28:51.600 --> 0:28:53.760 Gotta believe any of those? You think he'll say that 0:28:53.800 --> 0:28:57.320 a lot? I think get them. I think we can 0:28:57.360 --> 0:29:01.000 get the over under has got to be three, okay, 0:29:01.160 --> 0:29:04.800 maybe two? Two?

I mean, you balled out 0:30:47.240 --> 0:30:51.160 in this game. Balld out. This playoff Danny being playoff Danny, 0:30:51.320 --> 0:30:56.160 And this is playoff Danny being playoff Danny. About fourteen 0:30:56.240 --> 0:30:59.760 to sixteen miles away from the Woodlands where he grew up, 0:31:00.320 --> 0:31:04.240 born and raised All state baseball player. He may have 0:31:04.240 --> 0:31:06.840 played a couple of basketball games, don't know, played a 0:31:06.840 --> 0:31:09.400 lot of football out of five a school. Then he 0:31:09.440 --> 0:31:12.600 goes to Texas. This guy's mister Texas. And then he 0:31:12.640 --> 0:31:15.560 goes to play in one of the most infamous football 0:31:15.600 --> 0:31:18.760 games in the history of the National Football League in 0:31:18.840 --> 0:31:24.680 his hometown stadium and has what did he have? He 0:31:24.720 --> 0:31:28.960 had four catches? What do you have, Jack Dola? Eight 0:31:29.040 --> 0:31:33.400 catches seventy eight yards, a tuddy and a two point conversion. 0:31:33.920 --> 0:31:36.640 And aw that was a big two point conversion too. 0:31:37.520 --> 0:31:41.880 You guys needed. Yeah, we were down by a lot. 0:31:42.000 --> 0:31:45.440 The best thing about that whole week was building a 0:31:45.440 --> 0:31:48.680 bro jo in one of my best friend's garage. So 0:31:49.400 --> 0:31:51.840 every pretty much after every practice, Julian and I and 0:31:51.880 --> 0:31:54.160 Foxboro will go back to our house, one of our 0:31:54.160 --> 0:31:56.320 houses and play ping pong to where it's sick in 0:31:56.360 --> 0:32:02.160 the head, I mean, dip spit everywhere, shirts off, sweating, dusting, 0:32:02.360 --> 0:32:03.960 but nobody, I mean, we're in the basement in a 0:32:04.000 --> 0:32:06.400 Foxboro place. So we had to kind of duplicate that 0:32:06.520 --> 0:32:08.520 in Houston. So I called up one of my best 0:32:08.520 --> 0:32:11.320 friends who lives like a couple miles from the stadium, 0:32:11.360 --> 0:32:15.000 and I was like, bro, he's meanwhile, his wife is pregnant, 0:32:15.400 --> 0:32:18.200 like eight seven eight months pregnant with their first child. 0:32:18.440 --> 0:32:22.920 We in fact build a bro Joe den in his 0:32:23.200 --> 0:32:27.000 garage so we can kind of emulate a regular week 0:32:28.000 --> 0:32:30.920 of practice for us. So we kind of turned his 0:32:30.920 --> 0:32:33.160 his garage, put a pink pong table in it, put 0:32:33.200 --> 0:32:34.800 a couch in there, put a couple of tables, and 0:32:34.800 --> 0:32:37.200 then next thing you know, me and Julian we brought 0:32:37.400 --> 0:32:39.680 Gronk over there. All my high school buddies came over 0:32:39.760 --> 0:32:43.280 and we were just chilling kind of emulating a normal week, 0:32:43.320 --> 0:32:47.400 which was one of the best memories I've had from 0:32:47.480 --> 0:32:49.600 that game. But I mean, you guys saw how that 0:32:49.640 --> 0:32:52.080 game turned out. It was just a long night for us. 0:32:52.080 --> 0:32:54.720 We were running, we ran, we probably I probably lost 0:32:54.760 --> 0:32:58.720 ten pounds that game of just waterway just sweating. I got. 0:32:58.720 --> 0:33:01.480 I remember I got four ivy total of the whole game, 0:33:01.880 --> 0:33:04.760 two before and then two at halftime, and I got 0:33:04.760 --> 0:33:06.520 one of those recently, but it was for a hangover. 0:33:06.800 --> 0:33:11.479 But those work for hangovers. Now, how come there were? 0:33:11.560 --> 0:33:14.000 How come there was? How come you were so tired 0:33:14.280 --> 0:33:17.120 in this game? Why? Why? Why? Why would that occur? 0:33:17.160 --> 0:33:19.720 Aren't you guys like and how were you guys prepared 0:33:19.800 --> 0:33:23.320 for it? Danny? We were, Well, we knew they were 0:33:23.360 --> 0:33:25.600 gonna play a lot of man coverage on you know, 0:33:26.000 --> 0:33:28.000 second third down, so we knew we were going to 0:33:28.080 --> 0:33:31.160 be have running routes as opposed to sitting down in 0:33:31.240 --> 0:33:33.720 zones kind of working at a slower pacing zone route. 0:33:33.760 --> 0:33:35.320 So we knew we were gonna be running all night. 0:33:35.440 --> 0:33:38.120 But thank god that the halftime was so long. I 0:33:38.120 --> 0:33:42.200 guess the halftime is twenty minutes as opposed to whatever 0:33:42.280 --> 0:33:44.480 the ten eight minutes we get at a normal game, 0:33:44.840 --> 0:33:47.200 because I was in there, I got I got a bag, 0:33:47.240 --> 0:33:49.280 and I said, we had enough time to get to 0:33:49.280 --> 0:33:51.080 get two bags of ivy just to get all the 0:33:51.120 --> 0:33:54.400 liquids back in. But we were running all all night. 0:33:55.720 --> 0:33:57.560 And then also with the amount of plays, I think 0:33:57.600 --> 0:34:00.800 we played what one hundred and five off offensive snaps, 0:34:00.840 --> 0:34:04.320 which an average is usually like sixty, So we had 0:34:04.320 --> 0:34:07.280 to go out and pretty much sprint one hundred and 0:34:07.400 --> 0:34:09.920 five times. Is that because your defense was getting killed? 0:34:10.400 --> 0:34:13.200 Well that no, it was because our defense was getting 0:34:13.200 --> 0:34:15.560 the ball back for us. Remember in the second half, 0:34:15.840 --> 0:34:17.719 Oh right, they were getting us the ball back, so 0:34:17.760 --> 0:34:19.799 they were keeping their offense off the field, and it 0:34:19.840 --> 0:34:21.880 lined up where we had to run a lot. What 0:34:21.920 --> 0:34:24.839 do we got, Jack? Ninety nine offensive snaps? Ninety nine 0:34:24.880 --> 0:34:27.960 offensive snaps? Jack, Danny, I'm curious. I mean, you're you're 0:34:28.000 --> 0:34:30.680 back home for this big game? Was it? Is it 0:34:30.760 --> 0:34:34.120 stressful having all your friends around that week leading up 0:34:34.120 --> 0:34:35.719 to the Super Bowl? Maybe a time where you want 0:34:35.719 --> 0:34:39.320 to mentally prepare. It was probably it was a close. 0:34:39.680 --> 0:34:41.440 It was my close. So it was like three or 0:34:41.440 --> 0:34:44.080 four guys that came over and that's pretty much it. 0:34:44.160 --> 0:34:48.839 But you know, it swept for tickets though. Oh man, Yeah, 0:34:48.920 --> 0:34:53.080 I bought as many tickets as I could. I got 0:34:53.120 --> 0:34:55.759 thirty seven tickets, and we had to pay for all 0:34:55.800 --> 0:34:57.520 of them. And I didn't make any of my friends 0:34:57.520 --> 0:34:59.399 pay me. I just kind of gave them out and 0:34:59.520 --> 0:35:01.719 hoping it I ended up in a ditch somewhere one day, 0:35:01.719 --> 0:35:04.680 they're gonna be there to pull me out. But uh 0:35:05.239 --> 0:35:07.760 we uh we have you ever kill a hooker by accident? 0:35:07.800 --> 0:35:11.000 That friend has got to help you, barrier what I said, 0:35:11.040 --> 0:35:17.120 I got, I got thirty seven, thirty seven motherfuckers. Yeah, 0:35:17.160 --> 0:35:22.160 I don't forget. But yeah, another thing to add on 0:35:22.160 --> 0:35:24.480 onto why we were so spent that night, tired, just 0:35:24.520 --> 0:35:27.719 because the way the swing, this, the way the game 0:35:27.840 --> 0:35:30.120 flow was going, we were we were down by a lot. 0:35:30.160 --> 0:35:32.479 They were running the ball, you know, their receivers were chilling. 0:35:33.120 --> 0:35:35.200 We were down, so we had to we had to 0:35:35.200 --> 0:35:37.200 throw the ball, spread it out, throw it out, try 0:35:37.239 --> 0:35:41.200 to get chunk yarders plays and and you have we 0:35:41.440 --> 0:35:44.400 our most comfortable set to do that in was you know, 0:35:44.520 --> 0:35:47.160 three white outs, sometimes four white out sets, so we 0:35:47.160 --> 0:35:51.319 could stretch the field and make chunks. But yeah, we 0:35:51.320 --> 0:35:53.640 were I remember I remember somewhere in the third or 0:35:53.640 --> 0:35:57.200 the fourth quarter, was I we had I mean your face, 0:35:57.280 --> 0:36:00.439 you know, you're covered in snot like nob he gives 0:36:00.440 --> 0:36:04.040 a shit about anything. You're bleeding, like you like Julian 0:36:04.080 --> 0:36:06.440 had dip all over his beard, like it was like 0:36:07.040 --> 0:36:09.640 eye black was running in your eyes. Like it was 0:36:09.680 --> 0:36:12.600 like nobody gave a shit except let's get to the 0:36:12.640 --> 0:36:15.359 next series. Let's hit to the next drive with as 0:36:15.440 --> 0:36:19.479 much energy as we possibly can. Do you remember any 0:36:19.560 --> 0:36:23.280 specific scouting reports about this defense that was so damn 0:36:23.360 --> 0:36:25.160 stout in that first half, even though we were kind 0:36:25.160 --> 0:36:26.720 of moving the ball and we turned it over twice. 0:36:27.040 --> 0:36:32.080 Do you remember anything specifically in the preparation. Well, we 0:36:32.160 --> 0:36:33.400 knew that we knew they were going to play a 0:36:33.400 --> 0:36:35.440 lot of Cover three and they played that Seattle defense 0:36:35.480 --> 0:36:37.400 that we faced the year before. They had dan Quinn. 0:36:37.960 --> 0:36:40.319 Dan Quinn, they had the same coordinators they had. They 0:36:40.320 --> 0:36:45.240 had a big, a big down safety presence with Pool. 0:36:45.960 --> 0:36:52.040 I think thirty seven was the post safety. Uh we weren't. 0:36:52.160 --> 0:36:55.239 We offered Alford was their best corner who matched up 0:36:55.239 --> 0:36:59.200 on Julian all night. And then they were down true 0:36:59.200 --> 0:37:02.600 font who got injured previously in the season. So they 0:37:02.640 --> 0:37:04.880 put thirty two in I can't remember his name, and 0:37:04.920 --> 0:37:08.200 then Pool was in the slot number thirty four, who 0:37:08.680 --> 0:37:10.759 we felt we matched up. I thought I matched up 0:37:10.760 --> 0:37:14.880 great against and and they were a good team. They 0:37:15.080 --> 0:37:18.880 they you know, they they prided themselves on, uh stopping 0:37:18.920 --> 0:37:21.160 the run with the down safety. So they're going to 0:37:21.200 --> 0:37:23.440 play a lot of Cover three. They're gonna leave some 0:37:23.440 --> 0:37:25.279 open gaps if we could get to them in the 0:37:25.320 --> 0:37:28.080 passing game. And then once we start spreading them out, 0:37:28.120 --> 0:37:32.799 they started switching to more you know, two man, a 0:37:32.800 --> 0:37:35.240 little bit more post safety man coverage when we started 0:37:35.280 --> 0:37:39.200 running a lot of passing plays. So let's get into 0:37:39.200 --> 0:37:42.560 the game. So the beginning part of the game, first 0:37:42.640 --> 0:37:46.759 drive will be three and out. It I don't even 0:37:46.800 --> 0:37:48.960 remember three out it. I feel like it was a 0:37:48.960 --> 0:37:51.240 shitty first drive. Yeah. I think we three and outed 0:37:51.280 --> 0:37:53.880 like the first three, three or four and we're no. 0:37:54.080 --> 0:37:58.600 Then we started driving, right we started off, Yeah, we 0:37:58.640 --> 0:38:02.080 started off fairly slow. Yeah, well the first quarter was 0:38:02.080 --> 0:38:05.680 scoreless entirely. Yeah, it was scoreless. But what were the 0:38:06.160 --> 0:38:09.879 three things? Do you remember what Bill used to say 0:38:10.560 --> 0:38:12.560 at the beginning this game, the three things we needed 0:38:12.520 --> 0:38:16.520 to do to do in this game to win this game. 0:38:17.480 --> 0:38:22.080 Play smart, specifically smart, tough, fundamentally sound football. No, remember 0:38:22.120 --> 0:38:26.680 he I mean he did definitely say that. He always said, Remember, like, 0:38:27.640 --> 0:38:30.160 all right, this game's gonna come down to three things. 0:38:30.520 --> 0:38:34.480 Oh yeah, third down, you're gonna have to do good. 0:38:34.480 --> 0:38:37.640 We're gonna have to score points in the red area, touchdowns, 0:38:39.000 --> 0:38:41.719 and we're gonna have to not turn the ball over. 0:38:42.480 --> 0:38:45.200 First half, what we do all three of those things. 0:38:45.239 --> 0:38:47.600 We turned the ball over pick six in the red area. 0:38:48.000 --> 0:38:52.200 Then we go and freaking we're driving into scoring territory 0:38:52.280 --> 0:38:55.880 and Legarrett you know, got smoked and you know, fumbled, 0:38:56.480 --> 0:38:59.200 and then we were just turning the ball over and 0:38:59.200 --> 0:39:02.160 we weren't scoring in the red area. What did what 0:39:02.200 --> 0:39:04.440 was going on in the locker? I black out during games, 0:39:04.440 --> 0:39:08.400 so I don't even remember what went on in the halftime. 0:39:08.680 --> 0:39:10.480 So do all your fans in Boston. By the way, 0:39:12.080 --> 0:39:15.839 he's from Boston, he's from Situate. Oh is it not really? 0:39:15.880 --> 0:39:19.359 But kind of yeah, So yeah, you're down by this much, 0:39:19.400 --> 0:39:23.680 it's twenty one three. Yeah at halftime? Yeah, there was 0:39:23.719 --> 0:39:25.680 really not a whole lot. Do you could say, I mean, 0:39:25.840 --> 0:39:27.960 there is there's two things that what is one thing 0:39:28.000 --> 0:39:29.359 that you hit that I remember, what is one thing 0:39:29.360 --> 0:39:31.480 you would always say? Well, what is one thing that 0:39:31.520 --> 0:39:33.880 you always say that I made up all the time? 0:39:35.560 --> 0:39:42.520 I mean, gotta believe. I couldn't hear you what I 0:39:42.640 --> 0:39:45.520 made that up? By the way, what what made what up? 0:39:46.560 --> 0:39:50.000 I made that up? What did you make up? Gotta believe? 0:39:51.320 --> 0:39:56.120 Who's gotta believe? Though, Who's gotta believe? We gotta believe? 0:39:58.440 --> 0:40:02.239 So is that what you said in the locker room? 0:40:02.239 --> 0:40:04.520 You're just like, Oh, you gotta believe. This is what 0:40:04.560 --> 0:40:08.200 we gotta do. Believe? What were you specifically doing in 0:40:08.200 --> 0:40:12.520 the locker room at halftime after getting ivs. There's two 0:40:12.520 --> 0:40:14.360 things I remember being in the locker room after I 0:40:14.360 --> 0:40:17.640 got my IV One coach said it's gonna take a 0:40:17.640 --> 0:40:20.800 lot more than what twenty four points to beat us tonight. 0:40:21.320 --> 0:40:25.279 And then the other thing I remember is Julian walking around. 0:40:25.280 --> 0:40:27.360 I'm pretty sure he had his shirt off for reasons. 0:40:27.360 --> 0:40:29.520 I'm not sure. I don't know why his patrio off 0:40:29.640 --> 0:40:33.360 at this time, but he was it was hot. He 0:40:33.520 --> 0:40:35.560 was saying, Oh, this is gonna be a hell of 0:40:35.560 --> 0:40:38.000 a story. Boys, this is gonna be a hell of 0:40:38.040 --> 0:40:41.719 a story. Wow, that's awesome. And what would I say 0:40:41.760 --> 0:40:44.160 after that, it's gonna be a hell of a story. 0:40:45.960 --> 0:40:47.640 It turned out to be a hell of a story. 0:40:48.080 --> 0:40:53.200 But then I would also say my my infamous saying 0:40:53.239 --> 0:40:59.560 that I made up. We gotta believe, Yeah, we gotta believe. 0:40:59.560 --> 0:41:05.040 We'll kind it. But uh, there's no chance you made 0:41:05.080 --> 0:41:08.960 that up, fully made that up. So yeah, I mean, 0:41:09.239 --> 0:41:11.440 I love that you're being robber in the locker room, 0:41:11.480 --> 0:41:13.880 that you're being positive. That's such good energy, you know, 0:41:14.120 --> 0:41:17.040 But once it hits twenty eight to three, is any 0:41:17.080 --> 0:41:20.360 part of you like, maybe this isn't our game? Is 0:41:20.360 --> 0:41:22.600 it any part of you thinking that? Or no, don't lie, 0:41:23.080 --> 0:41:26.520 don't lie, Danny, don't lie. Danny. Haame's on the sideline saying, 0:41:26.520 --> 0:41:28.359 what the fuck, guys, this is gonna be the worst 0:41:28.400 --> 0:41:30.960 offseason ever. We're not even gonna get to do anything. 0:41:32.040 --> 0:41:35.160 Jesus Christ, I'm probably not even be here next year. 0:41:35.400 --> 0:41:37.479 What were what was really going through your mind? Danny? 0:41:37.520 --> 0:41:38.840 Give me the real shit. I want to hear this 0:41:38.920 --> 0:41:41.160 fantistically one guy and your team had to be like 0:41:41.320 --> 0:41:51.080 you blew it? You blewed like that was probably Chris Long. Honestly, yo, 0:41:51.200 --> 0:41:53.279 we were we get I mean, I've been down in 0:41:53.320 --> 0:41:56.040 games before, and I've gotten you know, killed in games before, 0:41:56.120 --> 0:41:58.680 but I was like, this is the super Bowl, everybody's 0:41:58.719 --> 0:42:01.600 watching this, and we better scored just so we don't 0:42:01.600 --> 0:42:04.799 get run out of the building, honestly, because we were 0:42:04.880 --> 0:42:07.759 down by so much. And and I remember it was 0:42:07.840 --> 0:42:09.279 I think it was like a I think it was four. 0:42:09.400 --> 0:42:13.200 It was a fourth down in the third quarter, and 0:42:13.320 --> 0:42:15.560 I had caught it out like a ten yard out 0:42:15.600 --> 0:42:17.799 as ghost right, so it caught a ten yard out 0:42:17.840 --> 0:42:20.560 on the play, And I was like, it was at 0:42:20.600 --> 0:42:23.279 that point, was so tired, and I felt like my 0:42:23.400 --> 0:42:26.120 back was completely against I thought I was digging myself 0:42:26.120 --> 0:42:31.120 out of a hole. And at that point, we're just 0:42:31.120 --> 0:42:33.720 trying to focus on one play after another. Just don't 0:42:34.120 --> 0:42:36.200 don't fuck up so we don't have to hear that 0:42:36.239 --> 0:42:40.319 shit from Bill and we could keep rolling and and 0:42:40.360 --> 0:42:42.520 that that that goes to show you the strength of 0:42:42.520 --> 0:42:46.360 the football team. Like that's how a lot of guys felt. 0:42:47.000 --> 0:42:49.759 A lot of guys were like, you know, we're not 0:42:49.920 --> 0:42:52.080 We're not out of this thing yet. That's how most 0:42:52.280 --> 0:42:54.960 that's how the team felt like it's gonna take more. 0:42:54.960 --> 0:42:58.000 We knew that we had to pick up some things, 0:42:58.040 --> 0:43:01.040 of course, but like we were driving the decently and 0:43:01.080 --> 0:43:03.800 we When you play in the Super Bowl, the rhythm 0:43:03.840 --> 0:43:07.439 of that game is tough, right, Yeah, Well, the whole 0:43:07.480 --> 0:43:09.920 time I'm looking at the clock in relation to the score, 0:43:09.960 --> 0:43:11.919 and I think it's it was like it read three 0:43:12.160 --> 0:43:15.960 fourteen and we were down by sixteen, and I was like, 0:43:16.120 --> 0:43:17.920 and we're moving the ball a little bit. I think 0:43:17.960 --> 0:43:20.200 we got it. We just got the strip sack. We're 0:43:20.400 --> 0:43:22.960 I think it was like maybe high, like you know, 0:43:23.080 --> 0:43:25.960 high two minute mark, and I'm like, shit, if we 0:43:26.080 --> 0:43:29.160 score here, we're gonna get to two and then all 0:43:29.160 --> 0:43:30.640 we got to do is get the ball back right 0:43:30.640 --> 0:43:32.640 after that and then we'll be set. So I was like, 0:43:32.719 --> 0:43:34.839 the time in my mind was working out, but then 0:43:34.880 --> 0:43:37.399 you have to the time in my mind was working 0:43:37.440 --> 0:43:38.759 out that it's it was going to come down to 0:43:38.800 --> 0:43:42.279 the wire if we did everything right, and but you 0:43:42.400 --> 0:43:44.440 had to get too too. You had to get two 0:43:44.480 --> 0:43:49.160 point conversions and those aren't easy. Well, you know, you 0:43:49.200 --> 0:43:51.920 remember we never put more than two more than one 0:43:52.000 --> 0:43:54.560 two point conversions in that week, and for whatever reason, 0:43:54.600 --> 0:43:58.040 we had two two point conversion plays, for whatever reasons, 0:43:58.080 --> 0:43:59.640 the first time we ever did that. So we got 0:43:59.640 --> 0:44:02.279 to actually the practiced. We got to ect. I know, 0:44:02.640 --> 0:44:04.640 so we usually we already know the two point play. 0:44:04.640 --> 0:44:06.400 It's probably something that we haven't got to run, y 0:44:06.440 --> 0:44:08.840 acause only run a handful of them a year, but 0:44:09.680 --> 0:44:11.920 we we for whatever reason, I thought it was so 0:44:12.000 --> 0:44:14.560 odd preparing for the game that we had we had 0:44:15.000 --> 0:44:18.680 installed two two point plays. So I'm like, oh shit, 0:44:18.760 --> 0:44:20.759 and then it comes down and I'm fucking laughing my 0:44:20.840 --> 0:44:23.560 ass off, like and the last the second, the second 0:44:23.640 --> 0:44:26.400 two point play was to me and I was like, 0:44:26.920 --> 0:44:28.600 we practiced it. I don't even know if it really 0:44:28.640 --> 0:44:30.440 even worked in practice, so this is kind of like 0:44:30.480 --> 0:44:34.000 hit or miss. So it was like, but I'm like, 0:44:34.120 --> 0:44:37.640 these coaches are getting yester that my theory on this 0:44:37.760 --> 0:44:41.239 Sam is the guy on the wall right behind us, 0:44:41.360 --> 0:44:46.520 Ernie Adams. He actually cracked the simulation that we're in 0:44:47.239 --> 0:44:50.040 and knew that it would come down to two two 0:44:50.080 --> 0:44:53.160 point conversions because that's the kind of guy Ernie Adams is. 0:44:53.280 --> 0:44:56.279 Let Bill know. Bill then therefore made the team put 0:44:56.320 --> 0:44:59.440 in two two point conversions, and Danny scored the game 0:44:59.480 --> 0:45:02.279 winning two point conversion to get us tied to then 0:45:02.360 --> 0:45:08.080 go into halftime and or overtime. Overtime, he is to 0:45:08.080 --> 0:45:10.759 to Belichick what text Winner is to Phil Jackson. Is 0:45:10.760 --> 0:45:14.319 that fair to say? Basically he's that influential in the 0:45:14.360 --> 0:45:24.080 Patriots culture. Ernie, Yeah, do you have any stories about Ernie? Bill? 0:45:25.200 --> 0:45:28.640 Bill built Ernie his own private press box on the 0:45:28.760 --> 0:45:32.560 visitors side, and it's like this little tiny two seater 0:45:33.400 --> 0:45:36.040 that Ernie sits and watches every game. But it's like 0:45:36.040 --> 0:45:38.560 an Eagles nest, like Ernie Ernie and the Eagles nest 0:45:38.680 --> 0:45:41.040 up at the top of the top of Foxboro Stadium. 0:45:41.040 --> 0:45:44.520 Talks a top of Gillette. Story Wise, I didn't really 0:45:44.520 --> 0:45:45.920 interact too much with it, and then they had to 0:45:45.920 --> 0:45:49.239 have built. I was just I was just so nice. 0:45:49.320 --> 0:45:52.040 I was just super nice to him, like he you know, 0:45:52.120 --> 0:45:54.080 he didn't say much to me. I didn't say much 0:45:54.120 --> 0:45:55.799 to him. I usually dap him up and be kind 0:45:55.800 --> 0:45:57.680 of awkward with him in the hallway and then he'd 0:45:57.719 --> 0:46:00.600 crack a smile so he'd be Uh. He's definitely a 0:46:00.600 --> 0:46:03.640 football mind and has a lot of perspective on the game. 0:46:04.800 --> 0:46:07.960 Do you remember him always bringing in a fucking huge 0:46:08.120 --> 0:46:11.120 hairloom tomato and that's what he would eat only for 0:46:11.280 --> 0:46:14.080 the whole day. He would sit at the table by 0:46:14.160 --> 0:46:18.080 himself in the cafeteria with no with a forking knife. 0:46:18.160 --> 0:46:20.279 Thank god. He would fork and knife this thing, a 0:46:20.320 --> 0:46:22.480 little pepper, no salt. He always stayed away from the 0:46:22.520 --> 0:46:25.160 sodium and he would eat that thing. And I would 0:46:25.239 --> 0:46:28.040 just sit there every day and I'd walk by him, like, Hey, already, 0:46:28.080 --> 0:46:34.759 how's the tomatoes, ego, they're in season? What so there's 0:46:34.800 --> 0:46:37.759 four forty eight It was five fifty six lest in 0:46:37.840 --> 0:46:41.680 this game. This is when Brady hits you six yard touchdown, Danny. 0:46:42.000 --> 0:46:44.000 I mean, like, what are you thinking you get that touchdown? 0:46:44.040 --> 0:46:50.399 You're down eight? Yeah, well we're down touchdown in your 0:46:50.400 --> 0:46:53.239 home field. We were down, and I remember we got 0:46:53.239 --> 0:46:56.279 a I got a we audibled. I guess they they 0:46:56.320 --> 0:47:00.800 went to cover four. Uh, they moved uh the slot 0:47:00.840 --> 0:47:04.960 player inside a shade, and we knew it coverage we 0:47:04.960 --> 0:47:08.359 were getting. And then tom uh signaled Gotti to us 0:47:08.440 --> 0:47:10.759 or which was quit basically a fight guaright out and 0:47:10.800 --> 0:47:13.319 to go on the outside. And it was, honestly, it 0:47:13.480 --> 0:47:15.920 was like, I was pretty I was pretty embarrassed that 0:47:15.920 --> 0:47:18.120 I fell down and caught the ball. That was the 0:47:18.120 --> 0:47:20.040 first thing that went through my head. But then I 0:47:20.080 --> 0:47:22.160 was so thankful that I didn't drop the ball because 0:47:22.200 --> 0:47:25.160 I was like, I remember just turning around. It was 0:47:25.320 --> 0:47:29.640 ball was coming fast. And then we were down and tired, 0:47:29.719 --> 0:47:32.480 and usually you don't celebrate or do shit when you're 0:47:33.120 --> 0:47:34.920 so when you score a touchdown and you're down. So 0:47:35.560 --> 0:47:38.080 I just kind of ran back to the huddle. You know, 0:47:38.080 --> 0:47:39.360 I knew we were going to go have to go 0:47:39.440 --> 0:47:41.839 for two. I already knew the play. I think James 0:47:41.920 --> 0:47:44.279 White it was to play the direct to James White. 0:47:44.280 --> 0:47:46.560 After that he had a big game too. Well, yeah, 0:47:46.680 --> 0:47:52.120 James White. James isn't he unsung hero? James White, No doubt, 0:47:52.200 --> 0:47:54.600 He's one of the best teammates, one of the best players, 0:47:54.600 --> 0:47:57.399 great running back. This guy looks like Marshall's fault some 0:47:57.480 --> 0:48:01.360 days and on film and he's just he's amazing. What 0:48:01.760 --> 0:48:05.200 did Tom say anything to you after that play? No, 0:48:05.320 --> 0:48:08.000 we were just head head was still down. We're still cruising. 0:48:08.080 --> 0:48:09.640 We got a lot of work to do. We got 0:48:09.640 --> 0:48:12.200 to come up with the ball in eight points and 0:48:11.800 --> 0:48:15.920 in a couple of minutes. And Julian would always say it, 0:48:16.239 --> 0:48:18.880 I remember the first I first scored my first touchdown 0:48:18.960 --> 0:48:20.719 of the Super Bowl. Well, Julian's played in a lot 0:48:20.719 --> 0:48:24.719 of Super Bowls over the years, and you know, a 0:48:24.719 --> 0:48:27.319 lot of battles with the Jets, I mean side of 0:48:27.320 --> 0:48:32.080 the Giants, and he would always tell me, does it. 0:48:32.400 --> 0:48:33.880 I don't care what you do. He would always, I 0:48:33.920 --> 0:48:35.239 don't care what you do in this game. It doesn't 0:48:35.280 --> 0:48:37.880 count of wish you win. I'm like that. And then 0:48:37.960 --> 0:48:39.840 it didn't hit me until we lost. I lost the 0:48:39.880 --> 0:48:42.840 Super Bowl after a couple of years later, and I 0:48:43.000 --> 0:48:45.839 was like, yeah, this game is nobody remembers. The people 0:48:45.840 --> 0:48:49.120 who lost the Super Bowl just went like the prey. 0:48:49.520 --> 0:48:53.960 They put whatever team wins on blast, and rightfully so, 0:48:54.360 --> 0:49:01.160 but yeah, yeah a lot of so. So you score 0:49:01.280 --> 0:49:07.520 that touchdown and then Falcons get the ball back. Julio 0:49:07.719 --> 0:49:12.360 Jones goes up on the sideline makes a freaking insane catch. 0:49:13.280 --> 0:49:15.239 Are you sitting there saying, oh fuck, did we just 0:49:15.360 --> 0:49:19.920 lose this now? Yeah? Yeah, Like what did you think 0:49:19.960 --> 0:49:24.440 about that? Got that catch? Oh? Unbelievable this. I was 0:49:24.560 --> 0:49:26.920 right on our sideline too, and he was double covered. 0:49:26.960 --> 0:49:30.520 I think that damn to some form of too high 0:49:31.120 --> 0:49:35.040 but double covered. Matt Ryan obviously funny about only where 0:49:35.080 --> 0:49:36.880 he could catch it. He jumps over to cats and 0:49:36.920 --> 0:49:39.200 then sticks his toe in the ground and I'm like, 0:49:39.360 --> 0:49:42.200 that was the sickest catch I've ever seen in my 0:49:42.480 --> 0:49:45.399 entire life, and they're about to run this clock out 0:49:45.480 --> 0:49:49.560 and we're completely fucked. So uh yeah, I thought that 0:49:49.760 --> 0:49:53.120 was so soon. And then you got that we we 0:49:53.239 --> 0:49:55.359 felt like we got the extra life when Trey got 0:49:55.440 --> 0:49:58.000 that sack and then they had the hole Dean and 0:49:58.080 --> 0:49:59.719 then they kind of fucked up a wet dream with 0:49:59.800 --> 0:50:03.400 that whole play calling. Sequinshaw. Yeah, well they try to, 0:50:03.560 --> 0:50:05.360 you know, instead of running the ball, and then they 0:50:05.440 --> 0:50:07.800 got behind and they tried to make a you know, 0:50:07.960 --> 0:50:11.680 a chunk play out of a five step drop, missed 0:50:11.719 --> 0:50:14.719 the blitz, and High Tower comes out with a big 0:50:14.880 --> 0:50:24.000 sad play of the game play of the game. I mean, yeah, 0:50:24.080 --> 0:50:26.240 this was I mean, this is when things went downhill. 0:50:26.280 --> 0:50:28.759 I mean this is like, literally, Matt, I don't think 0:50:28.760 --> 0:50:32.879 Matt Ryan has recovered from this moment. It's it's he's 0:50:32.920 --> 0:50:35.399 gonna We're gonna find out this year maybe a new 0:50:35.920 --> 0:50:40.040 new territory and new environment will help him get rid 0:50:40.080 --> 0:50:44.960 of those demons of the old nineteen or Super Bowl 0:50:45.080 --> 0:50:48.520 fifty one, so fall out, So I have to ask you, 0:50:48.719 --> 0:50:53.719 Julian makes this catch with two twenty eight left. What's 0:50:53.840 --> 0:50:56.000 what's going through you ahead? When he makes Are you 0:50:56.040 --> 0:50:59.640 thinking that he didn't come down with it? No? I 0:50:59.760 --> 0:51:01.680 knew he's covered in like that was a gut of 0:51:01.719 --> 0:51:06.279 a movie. No, yeah, red shirts on Julian. It was 0:51:06.360 --> 0:51:08.400 the It was better than the Julio catch. The Julio 0:51:08.480 --> 0:51:12.320 catch was like pure athletic ability, looked like a like 0:51:12.600 --> 0:51:18.000 fucking amazing catch. Julian was just pure grit and just 0:51:18.800 --> 0:51:20.719 that ball's not hitting the ground no matter what how, 0:51:21.000 --> 0:51:24.239 no matter who kicks it. Like the cover. The route 0:51:24.360 --> 0:51:27.279 was good, the coverage was good. The rout was shitty, Danny, 0:51:27.400 --> 0:51:29.560 the route was shitty. I would have gave him a 0:51:29.560 --> 0:51:31.960 little you could have gave I rounded it like a banana. 0:51:32.280 --> 0:51:34.640 You're on fucking page night. We were on ninety nine 0:51:34.719 --> 0:51:37.680 by then. It was bad. I didn't need the cushion up. 0:51:37.760 --> 0:51:40.800 I didn't give him a sellout to the out? Is it? 0:51:41.440 --> 0:51:43.239 You could have given't that the worst nightmare of your 0:51:43.280 --> 0:51:45.880 life when you're running a scene versus too high in 0:51:45.960 --> 0:51:47.799 the in the safety or in the in the cover 0:51:47.960 --> 0:51:50.560 corner looks back at the ball before you do. I 0:51:50.640 --> 0:51:53.400 think there's a couple of different ways, though, because you know, 0:51:53.560 --> 0:51:56.080 he he knew what you were running obviously, you you 0:51:56.640 --> 0:51:59.359 know it was an off. It was a uh well 0:51:59.520 --> 0:52:02.040 is it a Scene Reid kind of thing? Beam read? 0:52:02.239 --> 0:52:04.520 I think it was bunker bunker, Yeah, So you could 0:52:04.520 --> 0:52:07.839 either go to the post or cross. You got two man, 0:52:08.360 --> 0:52:10.200 you could have gave him a little bit more outside. 0:52:10.760 --> 0:52:13.000 I liked how you kept your speed though, because it's 0:52:13.040 --> 0:52:16.239 hard to give him something and then still keep your speed. Uh. 0:52:16.320 --> 0:52:18.360 He made a pretty good play. He turned around, he 0:52:18.680 --> 0:52:20.319 was ready to jump for the ball, and he made 0:52:20.320 --> 0:52:24.320 the best play he could. But the fact that I 0:52:24.440 --> 0:52:26.600 watched it, I've watched it over and over obviously, But 0:52:26.719 --> 0:52:29.920 the fact that you you jumped off one foot and 0:52:30.000 --> 0:52:32.080 then you're in the air and in your mind you 0:52:32.200 --> 0:52:34.960 had already redirected your body, and then you already you 0:52:35.040 --> 0:52:37.480 came down and redirected your body the other way when 0:52:37.480 --> 0:52:39.879 you hit the ground. So you were jumping one way 0:52:39.960 --> 0:52:42.640 with anticipation to do one thing over here, and then 0:52:42.760 --> 0:52:44.680 by the time you had hit the ground yet you 0:52:44.840 --> 0:52:47.360 had already decided that your foot was gonna go the 0:52:47.400 --> 0:52:49.440 other way, which was impressive to me. And then the 0:52:49.520 --> 0:52:54.880 fact that that did, I mean, is an amazing catch Bro, amazing. 0:52:54.960 --> 0:52:57.239 Did I say any do you remember? Yeah? I mean 0:52:57.920 --> 0:53:00.680 communicate after that. Yeah, so I remember remember I said, hey, 0:53:00.719 --> 0:53:02.400 did you catch that? And he goes, yeah, I caught it. 0:53:02.600 --> 0:53:06.359 And I was like, oh, yeah, he caught it all right. 0:53:06.400 --> 0:53:09.560 Once you said that, I know you caught it. Very 0:53:09.640 --> 0:53:12.640 next play, very next play, they hit Dola on the crosser? 0:53:12.800 --> 0:53:14.600 Was the crosser like for like a twenty hourd game, 0:53:14.680 --> 0:53:16.239 was that the next player or was the next third down? 0:53:18.360 --> 0:53:20.680 It was? It was I think it was close to 0:53:20.760 --> 0:53:22.680 the next place, so we might have very next play 0:53:23.280 --> 0:53:25.040 it might have been. Yeah, we had a cross And 0:53:25.080 --> 0:53:27.120 then at that point, Bro, I felt like the water 0:53:27.640 --> 0:53:30.319 the dam has broken. We were we had so much 0:53:30.400 --> 0:53:34.000 momentum and these these guys were getting so tired conditionally 0:53:34.080 --> 0:53:36.800 that we're not. They weren't ready to follow us around 0:53:36.960 --> 0:53:40.960 for whatever how many minutes we played, you know, seventy 0:53:41.040 --> 0:53:45.719 five minutes, but they they we were running so much. 0:53:46.520 --> 0:53:49.440 We were in better physical condition. Yeah, and that's and 0:53:49.560 --> 0:53:53.360 that's one of those things where we used to have 0:53:53.480 --> 0:53:56.000 to run. We were at we would condition. We conditioned 0:53:56.080 --> 0:53:58.279 that week of the Super Bowl and everyone's sitting here like, 0:53:58.320 --> 0:54:01.000 what the fuck are we doing? Why are we conditioning? 0:54:02.000 --> 0:54:07.200 And like once again, Ernie cracked the simulation. Knew that 0:54:07.280 --> 0:54:09.759 we needed to get more sprints in because we were 0:54:09.800 --> 0:54:13.640 gonna have a fucking ninety nine play game going into overtime. 0:54:13.719 --> 0:54:16.319 We win the toss. What were you thinking? Game over 0:54:16.560 --> 0:54:20.120 game set match? We got this or what? Yeah? And 0:54:20.239 --> 0:54:22.360 there was no doubt online we were about to and 0:54:22.440 --> 0:54:24.879 I think we went. My favorite drive of the game 0:54:25.040 --> 0:54:27.040 was to fit my favorite one because I think every 0:54:27.160 --> 0:54:30.640 skilled position, every skilled position person touched the ball. I 0:54:30.719 --> 0:54:35.960 think I think James, Malcolm James in order. I had 0:54:36.000 --> 0:54:38.880 the third. I think Julian had a crosser hug you 0:54:38.960 --> 0:54:43.200 had to come back, Martellis had a catch or a 0:54:44.200 --> 0:54:46.120 I think it was a. He had a big PI. 0:54:47.080 --> 0:54:48.239 He had a seam in the N, a P, I, 0:54:49.520 --> 0:54:51.359 a seam and then a PI and then we give 0:54:51.440 --> 0:54:54.359 the ball to James to close it out. I mean, 0:54:54.760 --> 0:54:56.920 everybody touched the ball in the last drive, which it 0:54:57.040 --> 0:55:00.440 was was so sick. And do you you remember the 0:55:00.480 --> 0:55:02.920 first person you talked to after the game was over. 0:55:03.120 --> 0:55:06.520 Did you guys connect quickly or what happened? It was madness, right? 0:55:07.800 --> 0:55:11.440 We Uh, it was madness. I can't remember. I blocked out. 0:55:11.920 --> 0:55:15.920 I ran around like through my helmet. Uh, just grabbed 0:55:15.960 --> 0:55:19.480 anybody I could. I remember Julian tackled me full on 0:55:19.920 --> 0:55:25.320 game tackle. And then I linked up with my I 0:55:25.400 --> 0:55:27.480 got a good picture of that. Yeah. And then I 0:55:27.560 --> 0:55:30.520 linked up with my mom actually right after that and 0:55:31.000 --> 0:55:34.800 had a great celebration with her. And it was it 0:55:34.920 --> 0:55:37.640 was awesome, man, it was awesome. Yeah, definitely amazing to 0:55:37.719 --> 0:55:41.239 be in the hometown for that one. And and I 0:55:41.440 --> 0:55:43.840 had played in that stadium probably ten times before, but 0:55:44.000 --> 0:55:46.960 for whatever reason, I that stadium looked so different to 0:55:47.080 --> 0:55:49.480 me that night, Like I'll never go back in there 0:55:49.520 --> 0:55:51.440 and it will be the same feeling as that night. 0:55:51.800 --> 0:56:01.520 But that's crazy. Any any good post super Bowl stories 0:56:01.640 --> 0:56:07.280 that you have, Danny. Let's see, I got a couple. 0:56:09.080 --> 0:56:12.680 We might have to edit a couple of these. Yeah, 0:56:12.680 --> 0:56:15.000 I got one. I remember after the first Super Bowl 0:56:15.080 --> 0:56:22.000 we won, we went to this Harvard Harvard party. We 0:56:22.120 --> 0:56:24.200 go to this Harvard party. It's like this where I 0:56:24.280 --> 0:56:26.800 expect the Patriots to go. You guys want to go 0:56:26.880 --> 0:56:32.520 somewhere crazy, I'm thinking Cambridge. No, this is the night 0:56:32.600 --> 0:56:36.640 before the parade, so we were stuck in Boston. So 0:56:36.840 --> 0:56:39.120 we're stuck in Boston and we're like, we got like 0:56:39.200 --> 0:56:43.160 a Phoenix party, Like I think it was Julian's brilliant idea. Anyway, 0:56:43.280 --> 0:56:45.160 We're like, we got the Phoenix Club. They won't have 0:56:45.320 --> 0:56:48.160 us to come out tonight. I'm like perfect. So we 0:56:48.280 --> 0:56:51.720 go get some sushi. Completely we're blocked out at sushi. 0:56:52.320 --> 0:56:55.439 We're walking around. We go to a club. We helped 0:56:55.480 --> 0:57:00.040 the car. Remember a car in the snowstorm. Yeah, the 0:57:00.160 --> 0:57:02.560 car gets stuck. Me and Daddy get out of the 0:57:02.640 --> 0:57:06.000 car to push the car off the freeway. This little 0:57:06.040 --> 0:57:07.759 old lady like in the middle of the in the 0:57:07.800 --> 0:57:09.759 middle of the freeway, like going on it on your 0:57:09.800 --> 0:57:13.879 way downtown, but just rescued by two drunk Patriots too 0:57:14.040 --> 0:57:17.080 drunk the super Bowl winning page afterwards you rescue a 0:57:17.160 --> 0:57:21.640 cash from a tree, which is amazing when you're in that. Say, 0:57:21.720 --> 0:57:24.240 that same night, we go get sushi. We're ripping it. 0:57:24.680 --> 0:57:26.640 We find a guy. We go to this little club 0:57:26.680 --> 0:57:28.919 before the Phoenix party, right, and we find this guy 0:57:29.640 --> 0:57:34.560 and we have we have probably thirty bottles of champagne 0:57:34.600 --> 0:57:36.760 at this small little venue and all we're doing is 0:57:36.840 --> 0:57:38.960 pouring him on each other and then breaking the bottles. 0:57:39.000 --> 0:57:41.120 And we paid the guy just to clean up the bottle, 0:57:41.520 --> 0:57:43.600 all the glass. All he had was a broom in 0:57:43.680 --> 0:57:46.200 a in, a in a mop, and a in a 0:57:46.280 --> 0:57:49.800 bucket and he probably picked up thirty five bottles of champagne. 0:57:49.800 --> 0:57:51.680 We just broke in the back of this bar. He 0:57:51.800 --> 0:57:54.240 was picking him up. And then we go to this 0:57:54.320 --> 0:57:56.560 Harvard party and we walk in and then all these 0:57:56.720 --> 0:57:59.400 you know, kids are upstairs and it's like a huge 0:58:00.080 --> 0:58:02.240 uh like fit you and there it's I guess like 0:58:02.320 --> 0:58:04.080 I'm the right house, but it's like you can rent 0:58:04.120 --> 0:58:07.160 this house out.

I don't know if 0:59:59.000 --> 1:00:01.360 we've bought my howks with the most aggressive police. Unless 1:00:01.440 --> 1:00:04.680 you play for the Patriots, you can literally do whatever 1:00:04.760 --> 1:00:08.240 you want. We'll have to blink out the name. What uh? 1:00:09.240 --> 1:00:10.920 I want to have a go ahead. A couple of 1:00:11.000 --> 1:00:14.280 questions about you got you guys and your romance. I mean, so, 1:00:14.440 --> 1:00:18.040 first off, who's a better quarterback between you two? He 1:00:18.120 --> 1:00:20.400 played college quarterback. That wasn't for me. I kind of 1:00:20.440 --> 1:00:22.960 gave that up at like eighth ninth grade. I was like, 1:00:23.000 --> 1:00:24.800 there's too much decision making you this. I just kind 1:00:24.800 --> 1:00:28.920 of want to run around on the field. I just 1:00:28.960 --> 1:00:30.240 want to black out and get in the back of 1:00:30.280 --> 1:00:32.280 a cop car. I don't want to I don't want 1:00:32.320 --> 1:00:35.440 to read schemes. That's but you both had big throws 1:00:35.520 --> 1:00:40.000 in big games. Yeah, you know, we we played a 1:00:40.040 --> 1:00:42.040 lot of baseball growing up. His dad was, you know, 1:00:42.240 --> 1:00:45.360 very strong influence on him as a coach, and same 1:00:45.440 --> 1:00:47.760 with me. My dad's a high school football coach. So 1:00:48.360 --> 1:00:50.200 we were active. Man. We were in the gym, in 1:00:50.320 --> 1:00:52.960 the cages and on the field every single day growing up. 1:00:53.000 --> 1:00:54.480 As a kid. You just toss them wall you catch 1:00:54.520 --> 1:00:55.680 one ball, you got to throw it back, so you 1:00:55.760 --> 1:00:57.680 might as well make it nice. So that's kind of 1:00:57.720 --> 1:01:00.880 how we grew up, and we both you know, I 1:01:00.960 --> 1:01:02.920 got a couple. How many touchdown passes you have in 1:01:02.960 --> 1:01:07.480 the league, Jewels, I mean, I got Jack. You got 1:01:07.560 --> 1:01:12.120 one for six, one hundred and twenty eight yards and 1:01:12.200 --> 1:01:14.640 a touchdown. Julian, you have a one hundred and fifty 1:01:14.680 --> 1:01:17.920 eight point three passer rating. Yeah, correction, Jules has two 1:01:18.400 --> 1:01:20.680 two touchdowns and one hundred and fifty eight point three 1:01:20.720 --> 1:01:23.640 passer rating. One the Philip dor said against the Eagles, 1:01:23.920 --> 1:01:26.240 Danny you have one TOUCHDWN. You know I threw a 1:01:26.360 --> 1:01:30.280 touchdown pass to Danny Mondola. That's amazing. What was the 1:01:30.360 --> 1:01:36.080 divisional round? Yeah, that was ironically we practiced that play 1:01:36.120 --> 1:01:38.480 probably ten times and was the only play. Only time 1:01:38.520 --> 1:01:40.960 it worked was the only time it ever worked was 1:01:41.040 --> 1:01:44.560 in the game.

It's it's a it's 1:04:34.520 --> 1:04:39.760 a romance that we'll go down in history as one 1:04:39.800 --> 1:04:42.920 of the best. I think it's special. It is very special. 1:04:43.280 --> 1:04:44.800 The thing is when you get to go to work 1:04:45.480 --> 1:04:49.280 with people you love, that's that's fucking awesome. You know 1:04:49.320 --> 1:04:51.120 what I mean, everyone in the room we feel it, right, 1:04:51.200 --> 1:04:54.160 we feel that, you know, And that's the environment. Once 1:04:54.200 --> 1:04:56.200 he got traded, it was like, yeah, we wouldn't want 1:04:56.200 --> 1:04:59.000 another super boar, but it was like not the same. 1:04:59.280 --> 1:05:02.040 How bummed were you when he got traded or he 1:05:02.560 --> 1:05:04.720 signed somewhere else or I don't know, sign he signed 1:05:04.720 --> 1:05:12.240 with Miami?

But selfishly, I was pissed off because, 1:05:20.080 --> 1:05:22.240 like he said, we're not gonna have the ping pong anymore. 1:05:22.760 --> 1:05:24.680 We're not gonna have bro time get to cut to 1:05:24.760 --> 1:05:27.160 you like playing ping pong ping pong against a wall 1:05:27.200 --> 1:05:29.680 and just hitting it by yourself. No, I didn't force 1:05:29.760 --> 1:05:31.200 gump it. I didn't force Gump, but I had to 1:05:31.280 --> 1:05:34.840 recruit other players to play. But then I became the sheriff. 1:05:34.960 --> 1:05:37.560 But deep down in my heart, I knew I wasn't 1:05:37.600 --> 1:05:39.520 the sheriff. Danny was always the sheriff when it came 1:05:39.560 --> 1:05:41.840 to ping pong, so like it was like false hope, 1:05:42.040 --> 1:05:44.760 you know, beating up on all these little slappies left 1:05:44.800 --> 1:05:47.440 and right. But deep down in my heart, I knew 1:05:47.480 --> 1:05:49.600 Danny would come here and scrape me. I needed that. 1:05:49.800 --> 1:05:53.960 I needed that competition. Yeah, and you guys were both 1:05:54.040 --> 1:05:57.680 like bruiser wide receivers. Yeah, he was. He was a 1:05:57.920 --> 1:06:01.640 He was a very tough, tough football player. Man. He 1:06:01.840 --> 1:06:06.720 he also had probably the best hand eye coordination I've 1:06:06.760 --> 1:06:09.440 ever seen. I mean, you could throw anything at him 1:06:09.480 --> 1:06:11.360 and he can't be looking. He won't be looking, and 1:06:11.440 --> 1:06:14.800 he can snag it somehow. This that, a lighter, a ball, 1:06:14.920 --> 1:06:19.560 a fucking a can, a dip, a water, a beer, anything. 1:06:19.640 --> 1:06:22.480 He could do like some sport catch trick, catch on it, 1:06:22.760 --> 1:06:25.720 Like that's just how like cool he was, Yeah, you know, 1:06:25.760 --> 1:06:30.240 and then wave his hair, but whatever, that's just that's Danny. Yeah, dude, 1:06:30.520 --> 1:06:32.919 I'm sure you guys did damage on that town. I'm 1:06:32.960 --> 1:06:37.200 picturing these knights in the cop car, messed up meeting chicks. 1:06:38.360 --> 1:06:40.760 We had a lot of fun. Boston is a great 1:06:40.840 --> 1:06:43.920 sports town to live and be a professional athlete. And 1:06:44.080 --> 1:06:46.480 I'll tell you that right now. Yeah, it was fun. 1:06:47.280 --> 1:06:49.840 A lot of thick Boston accents coming out of your 1:06:49.880 --> 1:06:53.720 hotel room. They are home. I guess that was always jewels. 1:06:54.200 --> 1:06:59.800 It's crazy, that was the thing. Jeweles and dola a dola, Hey, jewels. 1:07:00.520 --> 1:07:05.840 The women. So with the prop bet, I think you 1:07:05.960 --> 1:07:08.160 got it out of him. They gotta believes, do we do? 1:07:08.240 --> 1:07:11.680 We hit that jack, We got five gotta believes you 1:07:11.760 --> 1:07:14.160 really dragged it at a dola there, So we cashed 1:07:14.160 --> 1:07:17.680 the bit. We cashed it. We cashed it, dude. And 1:07:18.440 --> 1:07:20.600 just just for everyone to know, I made it up. 1:07:21.120 --> 1:07:23.880 Don't let don't let don't let that little uh, that 1:07:24.040 --> 1:07:27.320 Italian charm just come off through his voice. And if 1:07:27.360 --> 1:07:31.680 you're watching this through his little, uh, little eyewink, don't 1:07:31.760 --> 1:07:34.320 let that fool you. I made that up. Italians and 1:07:34.440 --> 1:07:38.000 Jews have a weirdly similar energy at times, don't you 1:07:38.120 --> 1:07:43.960 think over protective mothers? Yes, uh, Italians a swaggy Italian 1:07:44.080 --> 1:07:46.880 is very similar to a swaggy Jew. Yeah, but they're 1:07:46.880 --> 1:07:49.840 always a little better looking. I think they're always a 1:07:49.880 --> 1:07:54.000 little better like they do have You're a handsome fella, yeah, 1:07:54.120 --> 1:07:56.720 but I mean Danny's better looking. You gotta call a 1:07:56.760 --> 1:07:59.200 spade a spade his choice, you know what I mean? 1:07:59.280 --> 1:08:01.280 It is what it is. If I was a gay man, 1:08:01.320 --> 1:08:03.080 I'd be happy to be held down by either of you. 1:08:04.480 --> 1:08:13.920 I'll put it that way. So what's the legacy of 1:08:14.000 --> 1:08:16.200 this game? I mean, James White, we talked a little 1:08:16.200 --> 1:08:18.120 about him. We should have probably talked more about him 1:08:18.320 --> 1:08:22.680 because one hundred and thirty nine total yards, two rushing touchdowns, 1:08:22.880 --> 1:08:26.720 game winning touchdown by the way, one receiving touchdown in 1:08:26.840 --> 1:08:30.519 a two point conversion. I mean, should he have been 1:08:30.560 --> 1:08:33.439 the MVP? Should have been Brady? Does it matter? Because 1:08:33.479 --> 1:08:35.280 it's a team game, and that's really all that matters 1:08:35.320 --> 1:08:40.200 at the end. It's a team game. But that's what 1:08:40.439 --> 1:08:45.200 like these championship teams have. They always have these unsung heroes, 1:08:45.479 --> 1:08:49.200 and that's the kind of guy James White was like 1:08:49.680 --> 1:08:54.240 he was a beast, not just a beast, but in 1:08:54.479 --> 1:08:59.479 meetings at work with this demeanor, with this attitude nothing 1:08:59.560 --> 1:09:03.400 ever fail one of the like just calm, cool, collect 1:09:03.479 --> 1:09:06.720 guys I've ever met my life, and it rubs off 1:09:06.800 --> 1:09:09.280 on guys, and that's a that's a form of leadership 1:09:09.320 --> 1:09:12.920 when you have that for younger players to see, like, oh, 1:09:13.360 --> 1:09:16.280 James White isn't bitching about having to do ten extra 1:09:16.360 --> 1:09:19.800 half gasters. I can't say shit because James is doing it. 1:09:20.080 --> 1:09:23.400 And then you see it shine on the biggest stages 1:09:23.400 --> 1:09:26.600 of all time with guys like James White, past you know, 1:09:26.720 --> 1:09:31.120 past guys like Shane Ververen, the Danium Mondolas, the Chris Hogan's, 1:09:31.160 --> 1:09:36.280 the Malcolm Mitchell's, Everyone's got their part. High tower, high tower, 1:09:36.400 --> 1:09:41.840 I mean unsung hero unsung heroes, Trey Flowers. Big play, 1:09:42.160 --> 1:09:44.760 big play. Yeah, a lot of guys have to make 1:09:44.800 --> 1:09:47.040 plays in order to win those games. This is a 1:09:47.120 --> 1:09:48.840 tough one. We've talked about it, but it's a tough 1:09:48.920 --> 1:09:53.720 one for Matt Ryan. It really is. Uh, I mean, 1:09:53.760 --> 1:09:56.680 twenty eighth to three, It's tough. That's the name of 1:09:56.760 --> 1:09:59.400 the game. You You'll never forget that, you know what. 1:09:59.479 --> 1:10:01.800 I honestly feel bad for Matt Ryan because he had 1:10:01.840 --> 1:10:06.120 an incredible season, unbelievable year and I actually used to 1:10:06.160 --> 1:10:08.559 watch game film of this guy. So I've always kind 1:10:08.560 --> 1:10:10.280 of liked Matt Ryan because we were in the same 1:10:10.360 --> 1:10:12.560 system in college when I was thrown when I was 1:10:12.560 --> 1:10:15.719 a quarterback, he ran the same offense. My offensive coordinator 1:10:15.840 --> 1:10:18.840 was his offensive coordinator at Boston College, and so I 1:10:18.920 --> 1:10:21.160 always had a fan Like I was always a fan 1:10:21.240 --> 1:10:24.680 of Matt Ryan. Obviously not on this day, but to 1:10:24.800 --> 1:10:27.400 see the ripple effect of what this has done to 1:10:27.600 --> 1:10:30.519 that team, him specifically, I mean, you don't want to 1:10:30.560 --> 1:10:32.720 see that on anyone. He's a stud, he's a great 1:10:32.720 --> 1:10:36.160 football player, and to see, you know, these last few 1:10:36.280 --> 1:10:38.560 years after that, it just seems like it's kind of 1:10:38.600 --> 1:10:40.920 messed with his psyche. Yeah, you know what I mean. 1:10:42.479 --> 1:10:46.599 You know how much time and effort I do, because 1:10:46.680 --> 1:10:48.559 you know, you're a professional athlete. You know how much 1:10:48.640 --> 1:10:51.280 time effort, how much he cares about what he's doing 1:10:51.360 --> 1:10:53.680 and trying to get to where he's trying to go, 1:10:54.400 --> 1:10:56.720 and to see it not always get there, and to 1:10:56.800 --> 1:10:58.680 see guys not be able to get back to the 1:10:58.840 --> 1:11:03.680 dance again, like that's that's that's sad. I feel bad 1:11:03.720 --> 1:11:06.320 for those guys. You know, it didn't happen in my career. 1:11:06.360 --> 1:11:08.840 I've been fucking lucky that I got to play with 1:11:08.960 --> 1:11:10.720 where I got to play with, who I got to 1:11:10.800 --> 1:11:14.040 play with, under people I played for, you know what 1:11:14.120 --> 1:11:16.320 I mean. So he got lucky in ways too, having 1:11:16.760 --> 1:11:18.800 you know, such a great offense to throw it to. So, 1:11:18.880 --> 1:11:20.720 I mean, just because they didn't win doesn't mean that 1:11:20.800 --> 1:11:24.160 people won't talk about Matt Ryan is having a great career. 1:11:24.280 --> 1:11:27.400 He's an MVP. Yeah, but no he probably they're not 1:11:27.479 --> 1:11:30.240 going to talk about that. Yeah, maybe not. You know 1:11:30.280 --> 1:11:33.760 what I mean, that's just winning, winning something And what 1:11:33.880 --> 1:11:37.040 did he say? No one fucking remembers second place? Yeah, 1:11:37.479 --> 1:11:41.799 it's it's and this is a podcast to celebrate both sides, 1:11:42.240 --> 1:11:45.559 and I'm celebrating Matt Ryan. Right. People remember second place? Sometimes? 1:11:45.800 --> 1:11:49.160 Do they? Nazi Germany? They came in second, right, they're 1:11:49.160 --> 1:11:53.640 the bad guys, but we remember them, Sam, you got 1:11:53.720 --> 1:11:58.640 one on me, all right? I mean you remember them 1:11:58.680 --> 1:12:01.960 because of this game the ground. Yeah, I mean, look, 1:12:02.000 --> 1:12:04.400 there are great players who never won twenty years down 1:12:04.400 --> 1:12:06.960 the road. You know, when there's like robots fair enough, 1:12:07.000 --> 1:12:08.880 if they're talking about it, are they gonna be talking 1:12:08.880 --> 1:12:10.599 about Matt Ryan? That's when that's when we don't watch 1:12:10.640 --> 1:12:13.400 football players anymore. We watch football teams, and maybe there'll 1:12:13.439 --> 1:12:15.280 be a robot that blows a twenty eight to three 1:12:15.680 --> 1:12:19.120 lead in the Robot Bowl and we're like that dude 1:12:19.200 --> 1:12:22.360 was so close to being an icon robot, but he wasn't. 1:12:22.880 --> 1:12:25.840 But he wasn't, But he still has opportunity. I'm I'm 1:12:25.920 --> 1:12:28.360 looking forward still playing He's but he's what is he 1:12:28.439 --> 1:12:30.960 an Indie? I think that's gonna be a good But 1:12:31.160 --> 1:12:33.920 is he starting Indie? Yeah? He should be. He should 1:12:33.960 --> 1:12:35.680 be starting in Indy, and I think that could be 1:12:35.760 --> 1:12:38.560 a good matchup. You know, Indy needs a quarterback. The 1:12:38.640 --> 1:12:41.200 Wentz thing didn't really happen the way they wanted it 1:12:41.280 --> 1:12:44.280 to last year, but Wentz played pretty good. Yeah, Jack, 1:12:44.360 --> 1:12:47.120 who is it Peterson or what's his name? Who's the 1:12:47.200 --> 1:12:53.400 head coach for the Colts? Samy? Frank right? Frank right, 1:12:54.120 --> 1:12:57.639 Like he's a he's a good quarterback coach. I'm I'm 1:12:57.880 --> 1:13:01.160 I'm really really interested to see where this goes with 1:13:01.280 --> 1:13:03.160 him and Matt Ryan going into this year with that 1:13:03.280 --> 1:13:06.040 run game, with that great defense that the Colts have. 1:13:06.360 --> 1:13:09.800 So yeah, and there's literally no distractions in Indianapolis, So 1:13:10.000 --> 1:13:12.360 there's I've been there many times there's nothing to do 1:13:12.680 --> 1:13:16.360 but football. So Saint Almos, Saint Elmos Steakhouse is great. 1:13:16.720 --> 1:13:19.880 That you can't go there every night, No you can't. 1:13:19.920 --> 1:13:21.640 But if you have like a cold or something, you 1:13:21.760 --> 1:13:24.080 go and get that shrimp cocktail. And they hate They 1:13:24.200 --> 1:13:26.800 put so much goddamn fucking horse radish in that thing. 1:13:26.880 --> 1:13:30.080 It blows your socks off. Legendary horse radish. It's too much, 1:13:30.120 --> 1:13:34.000 almost like I do. I like it too, but like, yeah, 1:13:34.400 --> 1:13:37.360 I want to enjoy my food. Well then don't get 1:13:37.400 --> 1:13:39.320 a little less. Put a little less sauce on it. 1:13:39.400 --> 1:13:41.920 And that's what I'll have to do. Easy solution, let's 1:13:42.080 --> 1:13:47.439 less sauce. Has Atlanta recovered from this as a team? God? No? No, 1:13:48.120 --> 1:13:52.360 I mean Braves won a championship last year's World Series. 1:13:52.479 --> 1:13:59.240 Different sport, Bulldogs won. It's football is different. Why. I 1:13:59.400 --> 1:14:04.040 just think the Falcons the energy They've never won, They've 1:14:04.080 --> 1:14:07.160 never won a Super Bowl. No, right, the energy is different. 1:14:07.160 --> 1:14:10.880 I remember I watched a playoff game there in a 1:14:10.960 --> 1:14:13.360 bar was Falcons versus Giants. I think it was the 1:14:13.479 --> 1:14:16.479 year that they beat the past the second time. And 1:14:18.040 --> 1:14:20.880 I'm wearing an Eli jersey in the in the bar. No, 1:14:21.000 --> 1:14:22.560 one said a rude thing to me, and I was like, 1:14:23.040 --> 1:14:26.599 who are these people? You're supposed to insult me? I'm 1:14:26.640 --> 1:14:28.680 a visitor, you know. Everyone was like, oh, hey, how 1:14:28.760 --> 1:14:32.280 are you? I'm like, fucking cowards. Typical New Yorker cowards 1:14:32.360 --> 1:14:35.880 look at him, Typical New Yorker just just wants he 1:14:36.040 --> 1:14:40.040 just craves coldness. I was like, when no one spat 1:14:40.120 --> 1:14:44.800 on me, what do you guys? Soft do that? In Philly, Philly, 1:14:44.840 --> 1:14:47.240 they would have torn my head off Philly, I mean Philly. 1:14:47.240 --> 1:14:49.400 I was like, I'd be scared to do it in Philly, Boston, 1:14:49.479 --> 1:14:50.800 you know. But Atlanta. I was like, what are you 1:14:50.880 --> 1:14:54.240 gonna do? What are you gonna do? Crazy? Thing? Is 1:14:54.479 --> 1:14:57.679 what year was it that Atlanta went to the Super 1:14:57.720 --> 1:15:00.960 Bowl with Chandler as the quarterback and the dirty Birds? 1:15:01.760 --> 1:15:04.000 Was it? What was that? That was the nineteen ninety 1:15:04.040 --> 1:15:08.200 eight season. I went to the playoff game where they 1:15:08.320 --> 1:15:12.000 beat the forty nine ers in San Francisco. Didn't they 1:15:12.040 --> 1:15:16.479 beat them? There were Jackie twelve thirteen year old Julian Edelman, 1:15:16.760 --> 1:15:21.360 I was there were you rocking in Jersey? Uh? Nah? 1:15:21.439 --> 1:15:23.719 We didn't have like my parents didn't. We didn't spend 1:15:23.760 --> 1:15:25.280 money on jerseys and shit, I had to eat like 1:15:25.720 --> 1:15:28.759 bags and baseball bats and shit. You know it's nice. 1:15:29.080 --> 1:15:31.840 So like, well, we got Jackie. They're saying that game 1:15:31.920 --> 1:15:33.960 was at the Georgia Dome. At the Georgia Dome, did 1:15:34.000 --> 1:15:37.320 they play in the regular season? January ninth, nineteen ninety nine? 1:15:37.640 --> 1:15:39.719 Did they play in the regular season?

This isn't good. No, this is unhealthy, terrible, 1:18:11.720 --> 1:18:18.080 But uh, Jack, do we forget anything here? We cashed 1:18:18.120 --> 1:18:22.120 our prop bet ninety eight was, in fact John Elway's 1:18:22.160 --> 1:18:27.280 fifteenth season. Another stat correction, Danny is in fact better 1:18:27.360 --> 1:18:32.679 looking than Julia m s. Dealer's choice, it's Steeler's choice. 1:18:33.320 --> 1:18:36.639 And our last stat correction is we talked about Ernie 1:18:36.680 --> 1:18:40.400 Adams enjoying a tomato for lunch every day. It's pronounced heirloom, 1:18:40.920 --> 1:18:43.439 not hair loom. I wanted to say something about that, 1:18:44.000 --> 1:18:47.080 just clearing that up. Yeah, And then one last one, Jules, 1:18:47.360 --> 1:18:50.519 can you define bro jo for us? The bro jo 1:18:50.760 --> 1:18:54.200 is like a dojo, you know, like where the karate 1:18:54.400 --> 1:18:57.320 kid and they like used to train and stuff. I 1:18:57.320 --> 1:18:58.800 don't know why you're asking him to define this. We 1:18:58.920 --> 1:19:02.400 all got it. The ojo is where a bunch of 1:19:02.479 --> 1:19:06.720 bros do a lot of activities. It's one of those 1:19:06.760 --> 1:19:09.080 I've heard about every bros suffix in the book, but 1:19:09.520 --> 1:19:12.799 brojo is new. I hadn't heard that until yesterday. Brojo 1:19:13.000 --> 1:19:15.439 is I mean that's you Stick around me, buddy, you'll 1:19:15.479 --> 1:19:18.800 get a lot of bros. It's like if Cobra Kai 1:19:18.880 --> 1:19:20.960 were the good guys. That's the vibe. That's what it is. 1:19:21.080 --> 1:19:26.000 That's what No Cobra Kai. We're like straight, but you're 1:19:26.040 --> 1:19:28.080 more interesting then what's the good guys in that? Again? 1:19:29.400 --> 1:19:33.600 Danny his name was Danny, right, yeah, Daniel Danielson. But 1:19:33.800 --> 1:19:37.439 what they have a name for their dojo? What's it called? Right? 1:19:37.600 --> 1:19:39.600 Oh Miagi? Yeah, But they're that's the thing. They're a 1:19:39.640 --> 1:19:42.680 little more boring. Cobra Kai is cooler. But I literally so, 1:19:42.760 --> 1:19:47.880 I'm driving to San Francisco, yeah with my daughter to 1:19:47.960 --> 1:19:50.000 go see our parents. We always I drive from La 1:19:50.080 --> 1:19:52.280 to San Francisco. I like driving, I don't know. We 1:19:52.439 --> 1:19:57.360 pull over and what are those trees called the Karate 1:19:57.520 --> 1:20:00.400 Kid tree? What are they? Jack? Is that a bond? Yeah, 1:20:00.400 --> 1:20:03.160 it's a Bonzei tree. Me and my daughter went, we 1:20:03.240 --> 1:20:05.720 saw these Bonzeie trees. Picked up a Bonzeie tree. I 1:20:05.760 --> 1:20:08.000 was trying to explain to her about karate Kids. She's 1:20:08.000 --> 1:20:10.400 five years old. She's like, Dad, this is just cold tree. 1:20:11.080 --> 1:20:13.519 I'm like, well, you're gonna learn about this and we're 1:20:13.520 --> 1:20:15.360 gonna take very good care of this, and we're gonna 1:20:15.439 --> 1:20:18.200 nourish this plant, and it's gonna be something like in 1:20:18.320 --> 1:20:21.320 the Karate Kid. She looked at me and said, can 1:20:21.439 --> 1:20:24.160 we go get chicken nuggets? I said, all right, let's go. 1:20:24.560 --> 1:20:27.160 That is That's a tough one to explain it really 1:20:27.479 --> 1:20:30.040 not yet, You're like, hold on, next up Weekendo, Bernie's 1:20:30.120 --> 1:20:33.679 let me break it down for you. Revenge of the Nerds. 1:20:34.040 --> 1:20:37.200 What do you think? Oh my god, dude, that's by 1:20:37.240 --> 1:20:39.240 the way, well the Karate Kid, I mean they just 1:20:39.280 --> 1:20:42.760 had a remake with Jaden Smith like ten years ago. Right, Yeah, 1:20:42.880 --> 1:20:45.240 it was actually pretty good. Yeah, it's pretty good. Do 1:20:45.280 --> 1:20:47.080 you see it? I did not see it. I've watched 1:20:47.160 --> 1:20:50.000 Cobra Kai. Though I tried to watch it, I just 1:20:50.120 --> 1:20:52.840 can't do it because they're too hung up on high school. Still, yeah, 1:20:52.960 --> 1:20:54.800 it's a little weird that forty eight year olds are like, 1:20:54.880 --> 1:20:57.000 remember that thing I said to you senior year and 1:20:57.040 --> 1:20:59.240 they're like, yeah, of course, and you're like, yeah, you don't. 1:20:59.560 --> 1:21:04.160 That's insane saying anyone that remembers that. Yeah, that's gotta 1:21:04.200 --> 1:21:06.439 be tough. That means they haven't really, they haven't grown. 1:21:06.680 --> 1:21:10.040 They haven't grown. Yeah. It's also weird that Ralph Maccio 1:21:10.160 --> 1:21:12.080 has just like a super hot wife in that show 1:21:12.240 --> 1:21:14.160 and she's like, please fuck me, and he's like, I 1:21:14.240 --> 1:21:17.479 can I have a karate tournament. She's like, you're fifty three, dude, 1:21:17.520 --> 1:21:23.479 what do you please. It's like crazy, I'm watching the show, like, dude, 1:21:23.520 --> 1:21:30.240 fuck your wife. Oh yeah, you gotta gotta fuck that way. 1:21:30.360 --> 1:21:33.120 You don't movie, you lose it. That's what That's what 1:21:33.240 --> 1:21:36.080 we say here. Well, twenty eight for three. That's the 1:21:36.160 --> 1:21:38.320 name of the game obviously, right we're calling it twenty 1:21:38.320 --> 1:21:40.640 eight to three. It's got I mean, what the comeback 1:21:41.680 --> 1:21:48.000 that Danny call it the Houston Blur? I mean, I 1:21:48.000 --> 1:21:51.400 don't think that's it. I don't twenty eight to three. Yeah, 1:21:51.680 --> 1:21:53.240 I think we gotta go with twenty eight to three. 1:21:53.320 --> 1:21:55.600 Let's score this bad boy. What's the rubric for this 1:21:55.680 --> 1:21:58.559 bad boy? Steaks? What's the super Bowl? What's the rubric? 1:22:00.320 --> 1:22:02.800 I go, I go stakes ten? It's a super Bowl. 1:22:04.360 --> 1:22:09.120 I mean steaks are ten? Yeah? So star power is 1:22:09.439 --> 1:22:15.240 time time out. If steaks are ten here, I don't 1:22:15.280 --> 1:22:18.400 think they could be ten because the eighteen to one 1:22:18.560 --> 1:22:21.040 super Bowl should be a ten because that was an 1:22:21.160 --> 1:22:27.360 undefeated season. Gotcha, So we're going that's fair because that 1:22:27.760 --> 1:22:30.880 that's got to be the ultimate undefeated season. Star powers 1:22:30.960 --> 1:22:32.320 up there too, though, this is this is a lot 1:22:32.360 --> 1:22:34.280 of names. I mean you got you got hall of 1:22:34.320 --> 1:22:36.880 famers on both sides. I mean Juliobi, Hall of famers, 1:22:36.960 --> 1:22:43.000 Tommy Don't we got Dolu Dola. We got a lot 1:22:43.040 --> 1:22:45.960 of defensive players like high Tower, A lot of names. 1:22:46.000 --> 1:22:51.120 What are we thinking? Like? Nine? Uh? I want to say, 1:22:52.280 --> 1:22:54.800 I mean it is Atlanta Falcons though you know so 1:22:54.920 --> 1:22:57.160 you're not You're not that. I don't think it's nine either. 1:22:57.280 --> 1:22:59.880 Falcons drag it down because the Pats these are huge names. 1:23:00.680 --> 1:23:04.000 Seattle't know. I what you gotta you gotta deal this one. 1:23:04.000 --> 1:23:05.479 I don't. I was in it, so i'ld go eight 1:23:05.600 --> 1:23:07.519 five just because the Falcons, like I think, I think 1:23:07.600 --> 1:23:10.880 we're doing like a Pats versus Giant super Bowl. There's 1:23:10.880 --> 1:23:13.400 bigger names in that. That was a you know, this 1:23:13.479 --> 1:23:17.519 book was like Strayhan, you know, there was still Tuck. 1:23:18.479 --> 1:23:20.639 You know, I think I think the Giants had bigger 1:23:20.760 --> 1:23:22.559 names than the Falcons. And then we also look at 1:23:22.600 --> 1:23:24.680 some of your other super bowls, like the Seahawks had 1:23:24.800 --> 1:23:28.479 huge names. Yeah, yeah, that was I mean, we were 1:23:28.520 --> 1:23:31.000 defending super Bowl champions. You look at other you look 1:23:31.040 --> 1:23:33.120 at other Patriots super Bowls, and I just think you're 1:23:33.120 --> 1:23:35.280 dealing with bigger names. No fly Zone, what was theirs? 1:23:36.680 --> 1:23:41.759 What was the Seattle Legion of boom See? I should 1:23:41.840 --> 1:23:44.400 know that, Like, what are we dealing gameplay? You gotta 1:23:44.479 --> 1:23:47.880 go high, I think, dude, gameplay. That's I mean, it 1:23:48.000 --> 1:23:51.120 was a hard, fat, hard fought battle in the beginning. Then, 1:23:51.680 --> 1:23:53.080 you know, I mean, if you're you're if you're a 1:23:53.160 --> 1:23:54.840 Falcons fan, you got to give this a one. If 1:23:54.840 --> 1:23:57.120 you're a Patriots fan, it's a ten. But it's like 1:23:57.280 --> 1:23:59.400 if you're the rest of America, you gotta go toward 1:23:59.439 --> 1:24:02.840 the Patriots because it's an incredible super Bowl that. I 1:24:02.920 --> 1:24:05.599 mean it was. It was very biggest comeback in Super 1:24:05.640 --> 1:24:08.400 Bowl history. And it's like, low key one of the 1:24:08.439 --> 1:24:12.880 biggest comebacks. And nah, there was a couple thirty five os. Yeah, 1:24:13.080 --> 1:24:14.840 what do you think. I gotta go at least nine 1:24:15.439 --> 1:24:18.240 overtime in super Bowl history, first overtime in Super Bowl 1:24:18.280 --> 1:24:21.040 and five nine to five? Is that crazy? I go, 1:24:21.200 --> 1:24:25.680 I go nine. I think we're looking at a record here. Yeah, 1:24:25.720 --> 1:24:28.240 that's a record. You gotta give the name. I think, Yeah, 1:24:28.280 --> 1:24:30.360 it's another high one. I mean, there's a high twenty 1:24:30.439 --> 1:24:32.599 eight to three. I've seen it, mean so many times 1:24:32.680 --> 1:24:35.599 in so many different ways, and so many different cities, 1:24:35.720 --> 1:24:38.800 and so many different worlds and so many different galaxies, 1:24:39.080 --> 1:24:44.160 planets names in eight names and eight names and eight 1:24:44.200 --> 1:24:49.040 What do we got there, Jackie? We're coming in an 1:24:49.080 --> 1:24:52.080 eight point seventy five. That's a high score. That's gonna 1:24:52.080 --> 1:24:55.040 be a high one. Eight seven five, that's if that's 1:24:55.080 --> 1:24:57.680 an eight seven five, man, what else is That's that's 1:24:58.320 --> 1:25:02.560 the greatest comeback in sports. Let's you know, it was. 1:25:02.760 --> 1:25:05.559 It was a shocking game. It's that's that that goes 1:25:05.640 --> 1:25:08.040 to the integrity of the art of scoring these games 1:25:08.080 --> 1:25:10.040 with names, we can't. I don't care if I was 1:25:10.120 --> 1:25:11.760 involved in it. There's no I don't know if there 1:25:11.760 --> 1:25:14.360 will ever be a ten, Sam, do you. I don't 1:25:14.360 --> 1:25:16.280 think a ten can be hit. I don't think he can. 1:25:16.600 --> 1:25:19.160 Maybe by Julian on a dating app named Rayah, but 1:25:19.240 --> 1:25:23.040 other than that, I don't think it can be hit. Uh. 1:25:23.280 --> 1:25:25.240 Rian better be paying us for all this stuff that 1:25:25.280 --> 1:25:28.599 we're giving that. Uh, that's all for this episode of games. 1:25:28.920 --> 1:25:31.080 You're supposed to even say that. I don't. It's supposed 1:25:31.080 --> 1:25:33.120 to be like hidden in it. Oh, I don't know. 1:25:34.400 --> 1:25:36.960 We're probably gonna be kicked off now. I'm sorry. I'm 1:25:37.000 --> 1:25:40.120 off Ryan. Now I could be seeing someone. Yeah, I 1:25:40.200 --> 1:25:45.479 don't know. Well, Uh, a ten by Julian in a bar. 1:25:46.640 --> 1:25:49.800 I saved that one.
