1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: Got anything. Dad. Hey, this is the Christian ocunnell Show podcast.

2
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 2: Let's cost live to Philadelphia and I'm in there. E Roch,

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 2: are you there?

4
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: Yes? I am. How are you well?

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 2: Great? E Rock? Welcome to the show. So the super Bowl?

6
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 2: Can Philadelphia?

7
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 3: Do?

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: I know?

9
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 2: I've seen you stuff on Instagram. You are a mad

10
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 2: one eyed Philadelphia Eagles super fan. I love the passion.

11
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, Can the Eagles do it? Absolutely? Do? I

12
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: think the Kansas City Chiefs pose a great threat and

13
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: are a great team and a great friendship with the

14
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: referees sometimes. Absolutely. Listen. We saw it a couple of

15
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: years ago. You know, the Birds, you know, were one

16
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 1: holding penalty short of beaten Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs

17
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: once before. But I think this time this Eagles team

18
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: has a nastier defense, they got the league's leading rusher,

19
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: and we're all gearing up to get ready to have

20
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: the biggest party on Broad Street after Sunday's game.

21
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 2: Now, I remember quite a few years ago in twenty

22
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 2: eighteen when you last won it and the city just

23
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: went feral. You just went mad because Eagles fans are

24
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: knowing all over the world are being sort of super fans.

25
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 3: Plus yeah, well, let's make no bones about it. Other

26
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 3: fans can say whatever they want. We are the craziest,

27
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 3: most passionate, most energetic, most loyal fan base in the

28
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 3: entire NFL. Heck, we're hoping all of Australia over there

29
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 3: is going to be Eagles fans because we.

30
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: Got one of your own. We got Jordan Mallatt on

31
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 1: our team. We're hoping to bring some Australian craziness with us.

32
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: But absolutely we didn't know what it was like to

33
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,919
Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl. So we were climbing poles, setting

34
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: off fireworks in the street, just partying. But it was

35
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: all positive energy.

36
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: Now you're right now, Australia, will we watch in this

37
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: Super Bowl? Because often Australians out in the NFL are

38
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: normally punters, you know that is put on to kick

39
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: the boat as far as again his punted down the field.

40
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 2: But obviously he's a key man. He's a left tackle,

41
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: so this is a big role.

42
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: Left tackle. To explain to people that don't know American football,

43
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: left tackle has to be the biggest, baddest, meanest dude

44
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: because their best pass rusher, which is the guy trying

45
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: to in essence murder your quarterback. He had the most

46
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: talented guy on their team is on the left side

47
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: because that's the quarterback's blind side. He can't see him

48
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: coming right. So Jordan Malatta, the pride of Australia right

49
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: and on the Philadelphia Eagles Pro Bowl left tackle is

50
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: in charge of protecting Jailen Hurts from getting absolutely obliterated

51
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: out there.

52
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 2: I was watching some of the footage and one of

53
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: the commentatess was because he's a big dude, but that's

54
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: just like what six eight hundred and sixty hundred and

55
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 2: seventy kilos and he was just popping these guys like pretzels.

56
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 2: The commentates of the yet analysis just went, he's voting

57
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 2: people in half.

58
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: He really is. He's a massive human being. I've had

59
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times. I'm

60
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: five foot six, my friend, exactly like you ever Steve

61
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: would ventriloquist with like a puppet zombies like that, That's

62
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: what I look like standing.

63
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 3: Next thing, and so have you?

64
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: Have you taken to him?

65
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: We love him. Not only is he an incredible athlete,

66
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 1: an incredible player and good at his job. Philadelphia is

67
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: a tough city, right. We don't like everybody, but he

68
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: has such a connection with the fans. Certain players have

69
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: to be spokespeople for the team, right they just have

70
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: that outgoing personality they represent the organization well. Jordan Mulatta

71
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: has slid into that player personality, media savvy. Like, it's

72
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: so weird in Philadelphia to be like, here's our favorite

73
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: eagle and he speaks with an Australian act, you know

74
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's so wild, but he does. He's

75
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: embraced the city, he's embraced the sports, nothing about the

76
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: game and became unbelievable at it right here in Philly.

77
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: It's incredible sports story because he never picked up an

78
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 2: American football until about twenty eighteen, and then he becomes

79
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 2: a big star.

80
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: It's almost what you want because a lot of these

81
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: guys that have gone through pee wee football as a kid,

82
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: in high school football, college football, it's almost like they

83
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: learn bad habits. When if you get a massive six

84
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: foot eight offs right in front of you that you

85
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,799
Speaker 1: know is athletic, that you know can truck dudes would

86
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: run people over. From Australian rules that you know rugby

87
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,559
Speaker 1: and everything like that, you almost have an unmolded piece

88
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: of clays Line. Yeah, our offensive line coach, who's the

89
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: best in the NFL, said, Okay, I'm going to take

90
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: this raw talent and I'm going to teach him exactly

91
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: everything I want him to do, the way I want

92
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: him to do it, and how to do it. And

93
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: he was open to learning picked up on it. Boom

94
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: becomes the best left tackle in the National Football League.

95
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 2: And what Draff pick was, he was way way way down.

96
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: He was a seventh round pick. A couple of hundred

97
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: people got picked. And I think with him being from Australia,

98
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now, much like Major League Baseball

99
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: and much like basketball, the eyes of shifted to international.

100
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: Where can we find these diamonds in the rough? And

101
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: we found our first big one right there.

102
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 2: It means that, you know, obviously the game is later

103
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 2: on this morning, Monday morning for ours because of the

104
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 2: time difference. It means that every big Australian is now

105
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 2: going to be watching the Super Bowl going, that's it.

106
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 2: I'm heading to America. Get me an NFL team. I'm

107
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 2: six s eight, I'm fat, I'm massive, I'm going to

108
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 2: be a millionaire. Where's Taylor Swift?

109
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: Hey? Listen exactly and if you're one of those people,

110
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: I want you to call up Howie Roseman, who is

111
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: our general manager. Don't talk to the New York Giants

112
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,679
Speaker 1: where they're terrible team. You'll do nothing but lose.

113
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 2: Now, Listen, I don't want to be the voice of

114
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: doubt here, okay, but what happens if you lose? What

115
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 2: happens to that party five? If you lose? I hate

116
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: to even say it.

117
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: Well, listen, we have everyone's going to be drunk. I mean, let's.

118
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, because booze and losing go really well, they're really

119
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 2: good partners exactly.

120
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: And if we lose, the only thing I'll ask you

121
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: guys to do Pray for us, Pray for our city.

122
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 2: Hope some prayers. Hope some prayers. My friend, Eric, enjoy
