But I also think there's a greatest and best conversation. Brady's the greatest. Until he wins as many or close to as many, he's not the greatest. But I'm pretty comfortable saying this version of Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback ever. Right in the middle of his prime. You're telling me a 28-year-old Brady, 27-year-old Mahomes, who's taking Brady? And no disrespect. He's my old teammate.

He's the goat to me until Baham's goes out and does it. but in this little snapshot of three, four, or five years, like insane. Welcome to the Greenlight podcast. You all know what time it is. The Super Bowl Reaction Show, Chris Long, Nate Dr. Fax Collins, all hanging out to go through one of the greatest games in Super Bowl history. It started off a little rough.

First three quarters, we didn't know what was going to happen. Roger Goodell was sitting in his chair like, ugh. And then the fourth quarter came in overtime. An absolute blast of a game. Steve Spagnullough dialed up the defense for the Kansas City Chiefs. We go through the entire game, break down what happened, why it happened. The biggest mistakes, the best plays by all the players. Travis Calci making himself known with the fastest speed he's reached in seven seasons.

So a full breakdown of Super Bowl 58. And then we get into our Miller Light moments. Our America's teams, we have a blast. Kyle, shout out, dad times two now. Him and his lovely wife, Kate, welcome baby number two. We talk about that. trip to Las Vegas. We also have an appearance from our Toyota friend, Deirdre DeLilly. She's an executive with Toyota. She was with us all week last week. She talked to Chris on the Toyota set.

That's in there for you. And it's a full pack show, our last Monday live show of the season. Y'all enjoy this one. We will see you Wednesday with some special guests that we recorded at Radio Row in front of the Toyota Tacoma. We'll see you on Wednesday. Welcome to Greenlight Live Show. Super Bowl reactions. Victory Monday. Victory Monday. For some of us, at least. Definitely for Drake, who had a big week.

Massive monumental. Little Caesars! Little Caesars! Little Caesars! I need that jacket. Put it wrong. Yours if you want to rock it. Oh, I was going to say, yeah.

Yeah, Little Seesars. They're going to be happy. We had some Little Seasers last night. Welcome to the show. Guys, I don't, you know. know, like, what do we think? We slept on it. What do we think? Let me ask you guys first. I think the overtime saved the Super Bowl.

The Super Bowl was very, very mid until the overtime. You're right. I disagree. But the overtime was the big story for me. And the lack of understanding, obviously the lack of coaching, I hate to say it, in a game where coaching seemed to be the big thing, the defensive staff having a master class, both offenses looking good at certain times and bad at certain times. but the overtime, you get there, and your Ivy League,

fullback, captain is the first one to admit after the game, that they didn't know the rules. The guy from Harvard's like, yeah, I didn't get that memo. And we didn't talk about it. And Chris Jones from Mississippi State is like, hey, we're going to go, we not only do that, we have a plan for the two-point play if we get down there. I give tremendous amount of credit to Jonathan Jones,

the lead insider for CBS. He was like, in September, he was like, I'm writing this article, you should retweet it because I think it's going to be important. That's the overtime rule. change the rules for Patrick Mahomes. And next thing you know, here we are in the Super Bowl. Right when the clock struck triple zero at the end of that game,

and they're going overtime, I was, you know, like everybody else, I was scrolling the X app, and I was like, Jonathan Jones just retweeted that article. It's important. Yeah, I didn't have time to read the article. But then they freaking receive. And it was crazy. I'll just say this.

Like, I'm going to say this and then we'll back up. But at the end of regulation in overtime or at the end of overtime, I did not know the rule would carry that possession into the second quarter. And you can scoff at me, but the guy from Harvard on the Niners, who was in the game, didn't know either. And I do think that's a big deal. Not that it mattered at the end of the first overtime, but if these guys weren't briefed on new overtime rules, I wonder how much of a mastery of it Shannahan had. What about the code? I mean, like basically blaming analytics.

Who explained that? He said that, was it Shannon. They had said like, oh, analytics or some sort. And I just think in what situation? For calling or kicking or receiving. Oh, yeah, electing to receive. Let me tell me. Let me tell me.

Let me. He didn't say that. And here's my problem. Like if he had come out and said, hey, defense just got dog walking in two minutes. I didn't want him back out there. That to me would at least like, okay. I kind of get that. Well, my anxiety.

But he didn't say that. He gave a different reason. And here's the problem with receiving the ball in overtime. Remember when the Jets lost to the Giants in overtime? Remind me. Different overtime rule or the Jets, yeah, the Giants won in overtime this year. The Jets elected to receive and they had like their third string court. No, it was the Giants.

The Giants elected to receive. They lost that game in overtime. They had like a third string quarterback in there, okay? This was maybe even Tommy Cutlets before he was Tommy Cutlets. And like he was playing a jetlots. defense. What do you think is going to happen? Well, you lose like 10 yards. You punt the ball in short field. And now you're going to lose the game, right? And although the overtime rules are different in the Super Bowl, there's still the same rules in that if you punt the

ball and Mahomes gets it and kicks a field goal, they're going to win the game. It's three-down territory versus four-down territory. And so that, so you are setting yourself up possibly for a short field for Patrick Mahomes. And had McDuffie not held, you'd be looking at that. Okay. And And the second thing is like, I know some people think four down territory and they think like, oh, everybody's puckered up. They're tight. I don't think Patrick Mahomes is. I think Patrick Mahomes is thinking, oh, I have an extra down.

I have a bonus down. And if you're on defense, I've been in those situations, like the thought of like, can we get these guys down? They need to average two and a half yards of play. And so I, you know, like one chunk and all of a sudden the whole playbook opens up. You've got three downs now to waste on second and short. And on top of that, it's Mahomes with the ball. possibly last. And so I don't like that at all. And now Shanahan's looking at it. And like, I think he's a fine coach, dude. I want to give him a lot of credit. I don't have one of my

rings if it's not for him throwing the ball in that game. But that's, that's what his reputation has become is three Super Bowls that he's been involved in, double digit leads in each one, and has not found a way to win them. That is a bad rap to carry. With strategic errors in a lot of them like this air is so glaring because it's good like there is an advantage to getting the ball first because you could be the third team to score but you never saw that position but you never and you never would because the chiefs know enough to go for two if both teams score a touchdown and not just and not just that but like you kick that field goal you know it was fourth and four on a nine yard line yeah okay in that situation you got i don't know if a lot of people are talking about that but

you do have to go because in my opinion if you kick the ball of off to him. You risk way more with Mahomes and the ball in his hand. The way they've been moving the ball down the field without Dre Greenlaw, which was a huge deal. You know, I'm not saying they picked them apart in coverage. They didn't kill Berks in coverage. But that changes the tone of the game. Like not being able to get, you know why Kansas City was struggling so early? Second and 13, second in 15, second and 20, all in the first half. As a result of being behind the sticks because the defensive line and the linebackers are kicking their ass too fast. That first few drives I was a little bit concerned a little bit I was a lot of

I just I just interviewed those guys from Kansas City and I was like they're never going to let me in that building ever again well yeah no no I mean I thought that was to finish the way they do is great we're to cover all great interview by the way Kyle you did you did great and it was awesome and I just look at that and I'm like you know the first couple possessions it was backers were It was the D-Lyman beating Gap scheme stuff, blowing up pullers. It was, hey, I'm running a screen out to Kelsey Chase Young. You see Nick Allegreddy get hit, peeled off the pile? Yeah, dude.

I was like, Knicks down. What are they going to do? Who are they going to put in Wanda Morris is going in the game? Fred Warner's, he's knifing in there. I mean, like, they were in fast forward, and when that front can win you games, like, we'll get to Steve Wilkes in a little bit. But, like, that was the formula. And when Drey Greenlaw went out and the box got a little.

bit less intimidating on early downs. Then you started to see Patrick from Holmes, his shot chart was a bunch of green dots in the middle of field and shallow. And, you know, in the past game, in the run, they're able to do that stuff because they're not behind the sticks. They came out in the second half, and I think they were ready to go. And I think they knew that with Greenlaw down, it's going to be different. But the very first play of the second half, they shot themselves in the foot.

They shot themselves in the foot again. And I think this is what it comes down to when you talk about the chiefs and you talk about this Super Bowl victory, trying to put it into context. All year we've been trying to figure out who the chiefs are. In the beginning, they're Super Bowl favorites. Then they're going through a slump. Then they're like, oh, my God, they're getting beat at home by the fucking the Raiders late in the season who completed zero passes for three quarters.

You're like, oh, the sky is falling. Then the playoffs start and you're like, oh, they've kicked it back into high gear. The 15% rule you talk about. This is who they are, the 15% rule. No, who they are is that team that played yesterday. The team that Pacheco fumbles, that Pacheco fumbles again, that MVS catches the ball on second and four when you're in field goal range almost and runs backwards.

That was like, that was like. One of the most puzzling players. People talking about the game being rigged, that's when you think Madden is broken. Yeah. I keep going backwards. But I'll tell you this, they were good enough to win despite all that. And like, if you want to, if you want to contextualize who this team was, they were very imperfect champion.

but they're champions and what allowed them to be champions was not only the quarterback who we're going to talk about and try to put his performance and his career in context but the three phases and I'm talking about not just special teams because both special teams played well but I'm talking about the offensive coordinator against the defensive coordinator Andy Reid against Steve Wilkes having things to dial up and key down and Matt Nagy a lot of that read option stuff Matt Nagy salivates and he gets the right front and he has the right quarterback and I saw it firsthand with

Mitch, he would let Mitch kind of have free reign on the read option stuff. And they don't show a lot of that stuff all year. To see them do that in the biggest moment and they just say, hey, Pat, shit is cloudy out there. Get us a first down. Well, you know what's even more cloudy for is the end. I mean, there's a lot. And the people that they're reading at that point in the game,

they're throwing a lot at the tackle box. Yeah, there's a lot of motion. There's a lot of eye candy. And then, like, you know, Nick Bosa, I don't want to say he bit because, you know, the way that's drawn up is you have rules. And so maybe somebody on the second level got, sucked into some eye candy, and then it's a lot of field.

So, like, offensive coordinator, Matt and Aggie helping out, Andy Reed, calling the plays against Steve Wilkes, who, you know the reason that airplanes are so easy to fly now is because they're on fucking autopilot. That's the way it should have been for Steve Wilkes. Okay, four-man rush is working. This Pat's Giants formula is working. Ironically, Spaggs is the de-coordinator for those runs. Wilkes took his hands and put him on the wheel

before it was time to land the plane. Like, why are we sending the house? I'll give you a perfect example. Even Tony groaned. Yeah, the Rishi Rice third down, where they leak him out into the flat. I think they traded the back. I'm not sure.

But either way, the back was opposite the blitzer. And if you're an edge blitzer, oftentimes your job is to pick up the free runner, the peel guy. It was so surgical. You know, he had the blitz look early. He was able to get into the check. Do you think Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid are not going to have the right check?

And do you think they're not going to be so surgical and exact that, you know, McKinnon's going to wait. I think it was McKinnon actually. I think he said Rice. McKinnon's going to wait for that blitz to clear. So he was going to pick him up. And he was such a big deal for them. And we've talked about him on the main light pod a lot. To get that free release versus Blitz, like that's what they're going to have dialed up.

and on a couple of occasions, including the third and ten to Kelsey, I think in regulation, they decide to heat these guys up. And Wilkes has had a habit of doing this against the Vikings earlier this year where like, hey, no need to reinvent the wheel. You've got four guys that are whipping.

They are just crushing these dudes, man. So they won, you know, right down to the return motion to win the Super Bowl. It's the same motion that gave the Eagles hell a calendar year. Corn dog. Corn dog. Is that what they call?

They call it? They call it. He calls everything food, huh? Corn dog. And then you go to... I don't know why they call it. And then you go to Shanahan. And Shanahan, I think, is a great play caller.

I think he's the reason they're there. I think he's the reason they're in the game, but Christian McAfrey didn't get the ball much in the third quarter. And I think more than anything, Spag's dialing up pressure on two of the biggest downs, one in regulation, one in overtime, where you're going to decide between kicking a field goal and scoring a touchdown based upon the success of the failure of this point. play. Spags, getting free runners. He got eight or nine of them on the day. Nobody's better at generating free runners than Steve's Reginal. Lulling somebody to sleep in protection and then sending it right

by their earhole, like when they look down and check their Twitter. Yeah, like Robert's coming into your bank. McDuffie in regulation on what was the biggest third down of the game because they were down at timeout. Those guys are in the red zone. They're going to kick the ball with zero time to go if they convert. So we don't even see overtime if that happens. And then in overtime, Chris Jones is a free runner, the protection breaking down. Spags, Reed, Reed is a head coach. We talked about the overtime stuff. They won. Their coaches won this game, and so did the quarterback. That's the difference. Purdy did enough. He just didn't do the extra credit stuff. The extra credit stuff, that's what Patrick Mahomes did. I want to shout out my old coach, Joe Cullen, D-line coach for KC.

had those had those guys humming like the interior D-Line they wrecked a lot of havoc Trent Williams got put on his back in the run game yeah so like in the run game of stuff and like just knowing the way Joe Cullen coaches you get off the ball you rush you rushed the quarterback you rushed the passer like on the way to the ball stopping the run and like that's what they did early and like you can definitely see the difference with the line of scrimmage for for kc well they they had big reserve guys that made plays like that's the thing when they were down omanahoo like chris jones can't do it all so big 69 in there so now he's a fucking beast it was pedal and chanel yeah yeah yeah and chanall made some great plays like channell's

stat line yesterday was like under the radar sneaky amazing yeah a lot of guys a lot of guys on that defense and this is the thing that defense is the sum of the parts defense in that you You know, like, it is a bunch of role players and a bunch and a couple key dudes, like, namely the corners and Chris Jones and some good linebackers, but a lot of guys in between made a lot of plays. And I think they are the best defense in the league. I don't think you can walk away from this season and say. They match, they match San Francisco's bully. Like San Francisco is kind of like a bully team.

Their defense, when you're watching the game, you're like, Jesus, when you're watching like some of the team tackling that they have. And Casey, they kind of like, I felt like they set the tone. Yeah. Like on defense, like throughout the entire game. There's certain units that you play as an offensive lineman where you say we're not going to make hay on a majority of these runs, but we are going to keep our foot to the pedal. And hopefully we can squeak some of these out for big first downs

in the moments that we have to. And I give a tremendous amount of credit to this Chiefs' Offensive line, like you and I talked about the beginning of the game, it was surviving the knockout. by the 49ers because I'll tell you what, they came out like a bunch of rabbit dogs. And when I saw the Trent Williams intro with the players walking out of the tunnel, you know, we can talk all we want all week about this matchup and the greatness of Mahomes and all that stuff. But at the end of the day, both these teams have to come out and play one another.

And to see the way that the Steve Wilkes-led defense came out and played bully ball early and tried to establish, you know, they were going to pee on Andy Reed's Bush and say, this is our bush. The line of scrimmage is ours. Beat us with Mahomes with our shell coverage. And to your point, it was sketchy at best to see Steve Wilkes bring all that pressure in those key downs and put the ball in Mahomes' hands.

Because look, the question we have about any quarterback in the league not named Mahomes is, is he going to make the right throw in time under pressure? And that's the test that Steve Wilkes gave Patrick Mahomes last night in the biggest. game. And it just, it just, I don't understand it. But at the end of the day, it's a good thing. Patrick Mahomes continues to build on his legacy. It was unbelievable. There's so much more to talk about in this game, you know, stuff on the sideline that was happening as well with Travis

and Andy getting involved. We haven't even talked about that. The emotions. This team overcame, like, to see Travis Bump Reed, which is a bad look. Lucky that. Bad look. It's our boy. And he'll be the first to say it. He'd be the first to say it. He shouldn't have gone. That doesn't absolve him. I understand now, like, everything is about, like, we're going to let this guy off the hook in the media. I'm like, really, what am I going to do to affect Travis Kelsey's day? Yeah.

It was a bad look. He wants that back, I'm sure. They also have a relationship where I think they've been together a long time. And AJ Brown's point is absolutely correct. He'd be run out of the gym if he did something like that. But, you know, special players get special. treatment sometimes and special groups of people that have been together a long time. You give a little bit more leeway.

I don't know what, like, what would come of this that would satisfy people? You know, it's like, we're just going to make it the first take talking point for a week after a Super Bowl like that. Had they lost, that would be the lasting impression. Rishie Rice jawing at Patrick Mahomes on the sideline, like, buddy, this is a Super Bowl. You're mad about not getting the ball or something? Like, we're trying to win this game. So they were not perfect yesterday.

all these things. And I think for Mahomes to overcome that, I don't know that Tom Brady wins this game. Like, since we're doing the Brady and Mahomes thing, so much of what Mahomes had to do yesterday was finding time with his legs. He had to become more. Like, it wasn't quite the Tampa Bay Super Bowl

where he had no time. But he had a Josh Allen throw. He consumed Josh Allen in Buffalo. He had a Josh Allen throw. He consumed Lamar Jackson in Baltimore. And he had about a half dozen Lamar Jackson runs yesterday. Like he just becomes who he eats. Well, when you look at like three, yeah, you are what she eat, 300-something yards passing,

you know, 60 yards rushing. Like, he did a lot of it himself, and they took what they were given offensively. But to get that, he needed to buy time early. It was like, if you just gave him a little bit more time. He didn't add that. Both of them was there. And I think once he had the time and once he found the way he wanted to navigate the pocket, because that's tough.

They were in cover four a lot, so they were trying to take away the seams. And take away his right arm rush. Yeah, and so, you know, I think when you watch Patrick Mahomes, like, he's either going to buy time laterally and try to wait for a crosser to open up or somebody in the zone to get flooded, that sort of thing, or he's going to climb violently from, like, 9, 10 yards and try to rifle something up the middle of the field.

Yeah, he's going to try to... That's what they call it. He's trying to pull coverage. That's what they call it. It's like play action. It brings the suck. I know. I'm just trying to say it in a way that I don't have to...

So, you know, like... You know, like, he's trying, let me pause here. He's trying to suck the, he's trying to suck the linebackers up. Suck the D in, say it. No, he's trying to pull the linebackers up so that he can work the intermediate stuff as he, because that's the game he plays. So he had to work all this stuff in the pocket to find the right way to attack these guys. And as the game went on, he did.

I'll just say this. This run, it's, it's a memorable one because, To get back is hard, right? Like, it's really hard, as evidenced by seeing so many teams that try to do it. But the way that they had to go about it, the slump during this season, being left for dead, having to go on the road, they beat Josh Allen in Buffalo, okay? They beat Lamar Jackson in Baltimore. Everybody's talking about the best team. They beat the hottest team, right, in Buffalo.

Then they beat the best team in the race. and then they beat the best team from the other. They beat the best roster. The best roster. So they did all this in a three. That's the triple crowd. You know, and we didn't even mention the dolphins who, you know, like they went out in the elements.

I know, but I mean, a little late in the season. You're talking about the dolls. Exactly. They beat the fastest team. They beat the hottest team. They beat the best team. And then they, you know, the team with the MVP and then they beat the best roster.

And then they beat the new rules in overtime. Exactly. The craziest thing about the Super Bowl. What else can you be? What next? If you think about the way the Super Bowl went, it's kind of the same way that the Chiefs season went. The first four quarters. Microconcy.

Yeah, it was kind of like, like, you. Hey, there was kind of like adversity. But at the same time, if you're a Chief fan and you're watching the game, you're like, we're still in this. Yeah. Like, we're still in this. And then when overtime hit, it turned on just like they turned on into the playoffs. Yep. Everything was clicking.

There was no mistake. mistakes, no mental errors, and they went on a drive to win the Super Bowl, like they wanted to win the Super Bowl, and they did it. Dan O'Ollowski just tweeted the Chiefs faced numbers two, three, four, and six offenses in the playoffs, which combined to average 28.3 points per game this season, they average 15.8 versus Kansas City in the playoffs. He shaved off 12 and a half points. He, Spags, shaved off 12 and a half points, four of the best defense in the NFL.

Draft kind of got the Niners in trouble a little bit. Like, you know, the Trey Lance thing, I mean, I know it's not, you know, the, our third best, our third quarterback is our best court. Well, that's not very good. Yeah. And then, and then, you know, drafting the kicker. I know that, like, Moody hit a big kick. You hate that, don't you? But I've seen Moody miss a lot of kicks this year.

And the extra points is the reason they went into overtime. And you think drafting the kickers sets, like, a franchise back? No, and it's just got to be perfect, you know, and so I, you know, that, you know, That extra point, he got to go Eastern European. That extra point, he had to, yeah, there's got to be a ski. But that extra point, he's got to get that thing up. And, you know, he, so. At least hit the upright, right?

And that's the thing. Even the field goal was in the left third of the upright. It wasn't even a very confident right there. No. We sit here and we talk about all the mistakes the Chiefs made. The mistakes the Niners made, like the Niners' best chance was to just play good, clean ball, right? Catch a punt, don't muff it. Peter, Peter, Peter.

Don't muff a punt, you know, and don't fumble the ball in plus territory. I know it's Christian McCaffrey. That play was hard. I think he was screaming Peter, and it just, that's just like a crowd. I know, but their mistakes all the same, you know, and you leave the door open for these guys. No, I feel you. You know, you leave the door open for these guys. And so I just think, again, it was, it was, hey, we're down 10-0.

And this is now, Mahomes, the inverse of Shanahan, has come back from double-ed. digits in every Super Bowl he's been in. Johnson. Okay? And you add to that the Houston game where I remember going to New Orleans to watch the National Championship in college and I boarded the plane and they're down like three touchdowns or whatever it was. And I was like, holy shit, Bill O'Brien.

And then we land because the internet was spotty and it's like, oh my God. And they are like the Warriors. You know, they are that team where no lead safe. Even if it's 10-0 and they look like they're dead offensively, they're still the Warriors because you give them a crack of that door and they're going to get in it a minute 43 to go second possession and overtime you know you don't score to go up 17 nothing you know when you get the ball in midfield and third quarter like you left that door open and you know Jason's coming with a knife dude and that's just that's who Patrick my home there was a

point in the broadcast when the chiefs were in scoring territory and we're all hoping for seven they're not in the game but they take three yes and And they weren't even really in scoring territory. It was like 60 yards away, right, Chris? Yep. So Tony Romo's, the camera's on Mahomes, and Mahomes is saying he's mouthing good drive, good drive, good drive, good drive, good drive, dapping up all his guys.

All the while Tony Romo is saying, and Mahomes has got to be frustrated, he's frustrated, he's frustrated. I'm like, to your point. Look at him. Guys, we don't have to kill him right here, but we just have to stay within striking distance for the next one. Look at him. That's the way that this.

roster's built. That's the way Brett Veach put this entire thing together with Andy Reid from top to bottom. The defense is amazing. Dave Tobe's special teams was lights out when they had to be. And I think about, you know, the punting game. I think about the operation Tommy Townsend making the catch over his right shoulder and getting that ball down. Yeah. On the Super Bowl record. There's just a lot to appreciate there. There's a lot of good football there. And I want to shout out like there's bad ball and great. And I want to shout out the Niners, like, listen, like, we're all negative here, but Brock Purdy, Brock Purdy is the guy for them, okay?

Like, I don't want to have this conversation this offseason about, like, listen, they just were in the Super Bowl with a chance to win that thing. I don't think there's any. That ball he made to Connolly, I was like, yeah, this is just another Sunday for him. Yeah, no, and listen, I know he looked kind of suspect in the first half of, you know, the playoff games leading up to this and that sort of thing, but, you know, this guy got he did the Super Bowl, and there wasn't, there weren't a bunch of throws he missed. Now, there was a throw he missed that was set up perfectly for a touchdown.

They dialed up, but Chris Jones. You're talking about the pressure, yeah. Well, that's just bad protection. That's why O-Line is important. And both these teams, I think, going into the off-season, have to look at offensive line. Whatever protection you have that has 95 unblocked, you need to throw out that page. No question. But I look at this, and I just say, I say, look at the offensive lines.

these two teams got here. They're great offenses. I mean, maybe not Kansas City, great offense, great quarterback. But the San Francisco's offense is dangerous. They did that with some guys up front that I'd replace. And I would look at replacing some guys up front for Kansas City. I think they're going to have to make a decision on defense, you know, with some of the numbers.

I haven't looked at their cap. Oh, they're definitely going to have some cash. Sneed and Chris, you know, those are two guys that are going to have to pay. Maybe you have to make a decision. Maybe it's going to be drafted in the corner, letting Sneed walk. Like, I'm not saying to do this. Great thing is you got McDuffie on the rookie deal still.

You got McDuffie on the rookie deal. But here's what it is. The Niners are going to be fine. Okay, like, don't overreact. The Chiefs, you know, we asked a lot, is this Travis Kelsey's last game? Is this Andy Reid's last game? And I think after the game,

they both said, we'll be back. And Brett Veach said it out loud. We're trying to go for a three-peat, which is good to say that. Because, you know what? Get it out there. Just say it, dude, because I get so, people get so caught up. Because you are. Yeah, like somebody says we want to win a championship next year.

It's like bull and board material. I thought you didn't. I thought you didn't, right. A three-peat is so rare in sports, man. It's so rare in any professional sport. In any sport, three-peat. Bulls. The Bulls. That's it in any sport? Bulls, Celtics. So in football, it's unheard of, right? Right. And so even with all dynacies we've had in sports, This would be the most incredible one. And I think they're like Last Dance documentary worthy. They go win this thing. Let me tell you something.

When I finish in 17, they're going to do it. I can remember we won a Super Bowl, the physicals the next year. I'm in line, getting ready to get weighed in and everything. And everything in me is telling me walk out. I don't want to be here. I'm done. But I stayed because, I mean, I can remember I was like, if I walk out a line here, there's like four guys left, I'm done.

Like, just walk. Just get out of the fucking line. You, you, I was, like, calling myself names. I was like, you coward. You don't want to be here. But I stayed in line. I stayed in line, got my physical, and I played in 2018, and I don't regret it, even though we came up just short,

because the depth of emotion and the experience of being in a room with guys that have an opportunity to repeat in pro sports, just thinking about the prospect of it. There's a depth to that that people don't understand. And I can't even imagine being in such a lot. rare air that you're like, we could win three in a row. So I completely understand why Travis Kelsey wants to come back. I have Andy Reed. Ments FOMO. Everybody. Well, I do too, and I never was on the Chiefs because it is, you can't get that feeling anywhere else. You know what I mean,

Kyle? Probably not. You know, it's to win three in a row, to even just to set out on that course, even if it doesn't happen, next year is going to be a really deep experience for these guys. I remember after they lost the AFC Championship, after we lost the AFC championship, but I was on the sideline finally in pads after breaking my leg. And we had our exit meeting. You looked good. You looked really good out there.

Well, no, you know, I was, I didn't. I had binoculars. I didn't understand that it would take a year and a half for my leg to feel good. I was talking to the boys before the show. I was like, if I was a single guy with no kids or if I was just married with no kids, I would probably try to go give it a run again. But I'm not.

That's not the situation. It's fault. No. On the exit interview, though, it was like we were pregnant with Frankie and it was a lot of stuff that we had to handle. That's the best thing that I've done

is having kids and I have so much fun. We've got two now. Yeah, we've got a new daughter. Yeah, she's awesome. She's amazing. Kate is incredible. Super Bowl week. It was the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life.

You couldn't name her Patty? Being there. No, not Patty. We tried Travis. Doesn't work for a girl. But yeah, my point is this. I think about because I went there to interview those guys last week.

And all the guys were like, man, we've, you know, the O line, I missed those guys. And apparently they missed me too. Yeah, that's what it seemed like. And I'm like, man, I could have been on that roster last year. I could have been on that roster this year as depth. Yes. You know, to be like a veteran president. Yeah, but I mean, to be a part of it.

And now you're like, well, they're going to go for three. I could have maybe had a chance to have more rings than you in an alternate universe. Think about Hargrave from the Eagles. I'm closing my eyes. I know, but think about Hargrave. Five rings. Oh, yeah. Two guys?

We could put our hand together. Thanos? Eat that Tom Brady. Well, no, he's got like seven. But these guys are doing something that's so, like, fantasy land. Yeah. And I think what the crazy thing is. They're the main characters.

And they're the main characters in sports. And if you think you are a main character out there and you ever have any doubts, you might be right. Because there are three guys, I would argue, on the chief of the other. the main character. Yeah. For older gentlemen, it's Andy Reid, the quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, the best ever to play the position on trajectory to go as far out in the universe.

We don't even have satellites to reach that far. No. And then Travis Kelsey, who is dating the most popular person, the most famous person on the planet, who actually owns a spaceship. And who rigged the Super Bowl. So there's three main characters. So if you think you're a main character, you might be. You're just not in the right chapter yet.

No, but I honestly, like, they have some importance. They have some important supporting cast roles, too. And I think keeping as many of those guys in there as they can, you know, Chris Jones is a huge one. I would almost call him a main character, but like Sneed, McDuffie, Sneed's up. Creed Humphrey in the O-line world, Creed Humphrey, it's like a celebrity.

The snaps were tough. I'm not like, that was another thing that was like, hey, Patrick Mahomes got to work through a couple bad snaps. Like other, we've seen other quarterbacks, like against the Chiefs. Tua had a bad snap, and it was just like the play was over. Creed gets really horny about getting hands-on people quick, and that's one of the things that makes him a very, very, very good center. He's tremendous physically, and sometimes his process can get rushed a little bit,

and that's when that snap comes out a little bit low. We've seen it at times since his rookie year. It's not been something that's going to be lethal for him, but it proved to be troublesome at times, but then he pays it back in the run game. He pays it back in protection, and Patrick, obviously, best athlete on the planet, making great plays before the play even starts.

Yeah, and I just, I look at this thing next year, and I say, you know, it's so hard to do, but they just did the hardest one. I mean, they played terrible this year for stretches, and I don't think people thought coming into the playoffs, they had a shot, and I know some people did. How about that under route by Travis Kelsey? Well, Travis Kelsey's bawled out in, like, the last 10 playoff games.

They said it was the fastest he's ran since 2018 or something. Yeah, it was like 18. 15 miles an hour or something like that. I mean, so... A little horse. Yeah, I mean, I'm just so impressed with their organizational fortitude, what's between Patrick Mahomes' ears. It's the same thing you said, like, when guys were coming off the field,

and he was saying, good drive, good drive, good drive. And it was like a disappointment to some. He's that guy that... We're alive. To start this bad run, the MVS throw, we've talked about this against Philly, where he drops the ball. Patrick Mahom gets up at the podium.

and says, oh, I could put that ball a little bit, you know, more on target. And we're all like, shut up, dude. Really? This fucking guy. MVS is the problem. And then they go play Baltimore. And then they go third and nine against Baltimore to close a game out, and he does correct the throw. And, you know, it's just that's the leadership.

Was that the one to Travis? No, it's the one to MVS. Well, the one to Travis at the right pylon at his shoel. Oh, it was beautiful. So. It was beautiful. And every other quarterback would just be fist pumping and pointing to their number.

His comment after that was, they can't guard you. Yes. So to empower your teammate is Patrick's superpower. That's his superpower. He makes people better around him. He makes people feel like they do anything. And we just want to say this.

Chris Jones, they don't win the Super Bowl, if not for Chris Jones, because we talked about the overthrow that he forced. We talked about some of the near huge plays in this game that he doesn't end up on the stat sheet with sacks. but they're like six point plays. Disruption equals production. The Shakir play in the, in the Bills game,

they're not there if it's not for, I mean, possibly if it's not for him lining up over Dawkins and beating him, you know, Josh Allen's going to hit that throw. And so there's a bunch of little plays that this defense made. It wasn't the most spectacular thing at times, but they just, to be down 10-0, it feels like you're free-falling. But I've been there before. But it seemed like it.

You know, and to stop the bleeding. thousand miles away it seemed like yeah for spags to put the tourniquet on and say hey we're going to give you time to find your footing as an offense that was huge Patrick Mahomes it's funny the whole year we talked about or the the term game manager got a bad connotation yeah and if you kind of look at the game patrick mahomes was like the perfect game manager like he kind of took what was given to him which was all like they they the San Francisco basically was saying like you're We're taking away all deep threats. And Fred Warner's taking away Travis Kelphe.

We wore him like a glove. We're just going to let them, we're going to give them stuff. And Patrick Mahomes is like, okay. And he managed the game. He didn't try to take, he didn't try to take what wasn't there. And it's crazy to think that basically a game manager won the super. The irony of Patrick Melms putting that hat on at times during this game against the guy that we've been, the whole conversation has been centering around that.

Yep. You know, and it's like the Lamar thing a week ago, two weeks ago, three weeks ago, whatever it was. You know, like, Lamar had in his mind that he had to win with his arm. He got caught up in the narrative. You know, like the narrative that so often drives legacies is like, you know, hey, we want to see Lamar throw the ball. Lamar, just be you. You know, be you. And for Brock, you know, with people talking about game manager, not a game manager, I thought he did a good job during the playoffs.

of shrugging that conversation off and just trying to do enough to win. He made the throw to Dubot, but Trent made the play to bring it up. That was an incredible play. He made the, Brock Purdy made the throw that would have put been the nail in the coffin.

It was an incredible part. And Trent McDuffie made a better play. It was an incredible play. That's team win. And I'll just say like, you know, it's the Niners shouldn't be hanging their heads. I know it's hard for a guy like George Kittle where, you know, I just watched this on inside

the NFL last week, we went through B-roll. And there's a, there's Mike. up from five years ago and he's like on the sidelines at the end of that game and he's like we'll be back we'll be back and I'll be back with a vengeance and you know like no reason to doubt Kittle I'm sure he said it again last night but every time you come up just short you know my dad used to say you know I'd say he'd go on the road and meet with teams you know like some of have him go talk to their team I'd say well would you tell him and he's like this is before a big game I think he told like the Steelers or something this he was like when I went in 1983 I thought

we'd be back like all the time and uh we weren't you know we were close we never got back never won another one that's the that's the hard part of losing this game and you know when i watch brock purdy walk off the field with that confetti coming down i've talked about this i talked about on the pod last week i had a d-line coach named mike waffle who was this ornery old marine and you know was on our ass all the time he coached in new york with the giants and got a couple rings and they were the strength of that team and we were the strength of our team in st louis but we never got to see it and what he always told us was my biggest wish for you guys is that you can feel that confetti raining down on your head and i would just fantasize about it just like i was

like i can't wait to scoop it up and it never happened in st louis but when it happened for me eventually i can i can remember being out there with rob nikevich at midnight doing one more interview out on the field and street close. The stadium's empty. I'm on hands and knees scooping up confetti. I got a box of pizza. Those memories, I mean, like last night I'm doing the breakdown talking about

what's at stake and I'm like, here's what's at stake. I grabbed these two shadow boxes. I'm like, these like don't steal these for me because they're not actually worth anything but it's a little shadow boxes full of confetti. For me, it's Super Bowl. And then the most important thing to me that I

have, not the ring, nothing. and because of Mike Waffle said, and I just, when you walk on that field, you're either going to get a bag full of confetti or it's just going to be hitting you in the head and it's going to feel like it's a thousand pounds because that's what Ryan Clark told me. He's like, I don't remember the confetti when I won.

I remember just being covered in it. Walking out with Mike. And walking out with Mike Tomlin and just watching Brock and those guys. Like it's the most heartbreaking and exhilarating, moment. And that's why I always say, for somebody that takes the field in the Super Bowl, it's so scary because it's your worst nightmare or your best dream ever. And it's 60 minutes of football and you're going to be on one side or the other. And so I just, I feel so badly

for guys that don't get to win like Trent Williams. Oh, Trump Williams, like every great player on that field yesterday should have won a Super Bowl. They just, they all deserve it. But, but that's the way the cookie crumbles, man. And that's what makes it such a great accomplishment. I was talking with my mom, and my mom thinks that until San Francisco's organization apologizes to Kaepernick, they're going to be cursed. That's funny. That's funny. Any other takes your mom had?

He saw Cap in Vegas. How was he? He just walked in, walk. He is big as shit. He really, like, that's the first thing I noticed is that, yo, like, he looks like a basketball player. He's like, did he have a frown or did he have brains? No, he had a, he had a, it wasn't like, he wasn't like.

It wasn't like the shaped up pro, it was out. And it was like, it made him look very, very cool. Oh, he looks tall of shit with the front. Like polarizing. Like an NBA street character. Yes, like, yes. But he had like a long, I think he had like a long black jacket on. Imagine chasing his ass around, Nate.

Bro, I did. But like, for like every day, I would hate that. I did. He whooped our ass. Long ass drive. The first game he ever played in. The second game, like he did that to you. Like he did that to you and then he continued when,

when he got the first start against us the following week and went ham on the bears. So yeah, that's a good fan theory. You know, from the, like, it's like you just, you can't wait here. Native American burial ground. Yeah, Native American burial ground. God, Kyle.

I was born in 1988. Thank you. They don't want it to turn into some, like, we're good now. They don't want it to turn into the band, you know, curse. It's like when I kiss my daughter's hand after she falls and she does better.

Better. It's better now, Kyle. I don't know what else there is to really say. I have some things to say about the game. Some things about after the game. I give credit to some of the chiefs linemen who were getting ready to dump the Gatorade on Coach Reed, and they made sure that Tammy, Tammy, Tammy, get out of the way.

They didn't want Tammy's coat to get Gatorade. Do you think he expected, did they pose him to get the Gatorade dumped on? Because I feel like they didn't at first. No, they were walking. He was walking up to go do the. media stuff and his guys trail behind him and got his wife out of the way and boom. Because I think Vegas was like

And my favorite thing about it was like No Gatorade Ray Bath almost won. He was getting away. What was the odds? Plus 30,000. I think that's why Vegas was like I think Vegas came up. No, it's not linemen. I think a guy in an earpiece was like

Hey, you got to do it. That's Juania Morris on the right. Like a Buffalo Wild Wings call. Yes, a Buffalo Wild Wings call. And those Buffalo Wild Wings call usually coming. Those calls usually coming overtime, so they probably did it. I got one thing. I got one more thing.

I got plenty of things. I got to give someone. No, but before we get into our other portion in our ads, I give a tremendous amount of credit to Taylor Swift. Okay? Number one. For not only just being seemingly a really cool girlfriend, right? Yep.

But at the end of the game, when the trophy presentation and the interviews, she is amongst the crowd. Yep. And not on stage and not trying to upstage anybody. Yeah, I don't think she ever was, I know some people were going to be like just the act of being his girlfriend. If you believe it's a real relationship, which I know it is.

It was the most normal thing to see that. Yeah. I've heard really nice things about her. I don't want to spend like 10 minutes talking about Taylor. I don't want to feed the trolls. But I thought, listen, I wasn't even counting the tale. I wasn't even on my mind. And I don't remember much about her last night.

I remember Blake lively. She was like ice spice, bro. You know, like, how about Jason meeting Ice Spice, the video of Jason Meeting Ice Spice? I'm not even sure he knew exactly who she was in pop culture. You think high I'm ice. He was like, hi, I'm spice. He was like, hi, nice to meet you. He like went down to her level.

He wasn't sure who she was. Like a kid. And she was super psyched to meet him, you could tell. Jason is in rare air with the celebrities he's hanging out with now. Ice Spice, Blake Lively, whoever else. He was just drunk enough to go in and like violently hug Taylor Swift and then have to respect to shake the hand of Ice Spikes. Yeah. Somebody said Blake Lively looked better.

That's pretty much what you can say in almost any room. Evergreen tweet. In America. Ever, yeah. Whoever she's in the suite with. for Duolipa, she's going to... I don't know. That'd be a hell of a fight. No. That's like Tyson and Blank.

Dual Lipa could probably three Pete. Go ahead. What are you going to say? Anything. Oh, I mean, hey, can we talk about the festivities? I think, I just want to say this. I noticed that the commercials were mid. We talked about this. You were saying the game was mid.

Kanye's commercial was good. The cat. I don't even remember Kanye's commercial. Kanye's commercial was only in certain. markets and it was him on an iPhone in the back of his car and he's essentially saying these commercials are so expensive that we spent all the money on the spot and no money on the commercial so go to yeezy.com that's good and it was just an iPhone and I thought he got canceled wait I thought he I thought he got no back and better than ever oh so he didn't get

canceled no okay so what he did was he put everything on his site for 20 bucks and since last night Chris he's made 19.3 million dollars. It was guerrilla marketing. So that marketing tactic seems like it worked. Hopefully you can buy his wife some clothes because she wasn't wearing it the other day. Oh, that's interesting. Huh.

Great. Good observation. I'll say this. I want to give out, I don't know if this is an award, but the best commercial to me was the Kalasaki commercial with Stone Cold Steve Austin. Okay? Maybe it's because I'm the demo. Like, Guilty is Charles.

I got today's my day I was like oh zoom all the commercials oh yeah yeah it was a really good commercial did it did it not even make the list here doesn't appear to talk about 20 I mean wow that's insane they got snubbed this is the athletic you guys like the athletic commercial at chris and I on Twitter yeah big n 98 now I think helman's man that's your favorite commercial but the minute the minute it was like okay oh there's there's an there's an atv like I'm leaning in and then it was like, oh my God, the eagle has a mullet. Oh, the bear has a mullet. What a concept. And then Steve Austin, we were all like, oh my God. And it didn't even make the top. By the way, nerds, they probably weren't allowed to do it, but they should do someone with the glass breaking when they

put them on the screen. Yeah. Nerds gummy cluster. Oh. Okay. They looked delicious in the whole thing, but I think it was during this commercial that I realized, like, I'm old. Because, you know, when during the most expensive spots on TV, I'm supposed to know who a TikTok start. is. Addison Ray, I have no idea who that is. What would the cats? It's a Mayo. Meow. So Andy Reed,

Andy Reed was meeting with Peter King last year, Chris, and was discussing the play call. Yeah. And he has it down as Gun Trip's right bunch, F. Shuttle. Yeah. And then he says, and that gives you a little corn dog with some mustard

and ketchup. Oh, boy. Chris, it's always food. That's beautiful. That's beautiful. That's beautiful. Chris talked to Andy Reid. I'm thinking that's the show. I did.

I talked to Andy Reed. You saw the fake Andy Reed? Bro, shout out. It bothers you. Yo, Chris, shout out to that guy because his appearances for the next few months are probably going up now that they won. Bro, it was an easy, like, viral little video to send out because there's a lot of people that thought it was Andy Reed. Like, people were like, I saw somebody in my mentions that was like, Chris Long heard from Andy Reid. I'm like, you think

Adi Reid was just walking through radio the Premier League, CBS employs like they cover the Premier League. So we had Terry Henri and Micah, gosh, Micah, so he's big Jack, dude. I met him, super nice guy. He's an EPL guy? And they were like on Media Row, what was it, Media Row.

And they had the fake Andy Reid there. Yeah. They thought it was, they convinced them that it was real Andy Reid. That's good. And our social team. French guys, man. I totally trolled them. That's hilarious.

They're like, oh, you guys are big guys. What position do you guys play? Oh, that's so funny. I don't throw the ball well. I don't throw it very well. I don't throw it well. He goes, well, the fullbacks don't have to throw it, young man.

I asked fake Andy Reid what he had for Cadarius Tony. And he was like, oh, I got, I got some stuff drawn out from Cadarius Tony. When Patrick and Travis get tired, he's going to be running water bottles out to him. Is that what he said? Yeah, and it turned out to be the game plan because Tony didn't play. Yeah, healthy scratch. Realistically, if he was playing, wouldn't that have been his play, the last play? Yes.

What? If Cadarius Tony's won't playing because B. Cole Harvey, that would have been his play. Probably kept him out just to not fucking have. And people forget, Nicole Hardman was with the New York Jets, the beginning of the season. He was with Aaron Rogers. And I got to see him last week. And he got a tough shot when he first got his shot. How is it to be back?

He was like, it's so nice to be back in this building. Dude, listen. I'm so glad he got that chance. I also want to mention the commercial. for Fire Country. Is that a parody? Like, are you telling me that's an actor on the show?

The actor, director, producer. He does all of it. And no offense to the guy. I'm sure he's really good. Uh-oh. But I just, nothing made me not want to watch the show more than the commercials.

Isn't the point of the commercials to get me to want to watch the show? No, to talk about it. I was sitting there, I was like, oh, I could be in Fire Country. Yeah. Like, no question. 100%.

I'm not going to see Fire Country. All right. I'm not going to see Fire Country. I also want to mention the Paramount commercial. What's so interesting about the Paramount commercial with Tua and with Throw the child. Is like, I feel like they wrote this script and he agreed to it like earlier in the season,

which means he wasn't thinking the season was going to end where the moment was too big for him because the biggest line that Captain Picard delivers. That is him, right? Picard, or is that a different guy? Patrick Stewart. Patrick Stewart. Why am I having her? No, no, not Pat.

No, Captain Picard. Was that his name? I would, I just never a Star Trek. Who is the guy? Is Star Trek? Star Trek. It's Picard. Spock.

Patrick Ricard is, not Spock. Patrick Ricard is a fullback. Patrick Picard. But he's Patrick Picard. He goes, he goes, the moment's too big for you. And then they have somebody else throw Peppa Pig up there. Yeah, Jean-Luc Leuke Picard was his name. He looks the same.

He's so handsome. See, dude, being bald is awesome. Yeah, that is. I'm going to look like this. You're going to look like that the rest of your life. Yeah. That's going to be awesome. Until the company comes.

Also, you're that bag. Also, should I be concerned at how powerful Timo is? Oh. Because I've never heard of, I've never heard of Timo in my life, but they have all this money.

Listen, that's what scares me. It was like three, four spot. Four, I think. Listen, bro. Off season coming up.

Let's sit down and have a show and like get a budget and buy stuff off Timo and test it out. Yes. It's legitimate. The best tweet was the George W. Bush receiving the news in the class, and these kids were, the title was a second TEMU ad is hit the school.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I just saw that. Third Timo. I saw that. I saw that. That meme works great. That meme works great. But when you got TikTok people,

and I love the Reese's commercial where they're all freaking out. Like, I just love that commercial. I cannot believe they rated the Dunkin' Donuts thing up high. That was not a good, that was not a good. I wear sketched. I wear the same side. Yeah. I wear the hell out of them.

Oh, you send me some too and I love him. They, they got tea and sketchers. I know. I kind of felt weird because I'm like, hey, maybe that was dad's spot, but, you know, they put Mr. T in it. I think Dad's doing all right. He is doing all right. He is doing all right.

That was, your father was in it last year with Snoop. But there's no T and Howie. Hey, how funny is this? dad and uh well not funny i guess but dad and our youngest brother howie you know where they watched the game right from the hotel in the hotel room they watched the game in the hotel room and they had a view of the stadium flyover and so they saw the flyover in in real time so actually like the flyover we were in the howie's in a penthouse suite yeah we were in the um we were in the media row and there were these pilots walking through like seven of them and you know both

sitting there like hey we got to bet the i think this is a smoke screen i think they're going to go under on the planes on the flyover and i'm like hold on a second flyover you know we play indoors you know like i turned into todd bulls like why are we doing a flyover over a dome right plays do they do that every year they do a flyover over the dome i don't think so you had me doubting myself but they they did do the flyover what the fuck was that now cool for if you have a hotel room that's looking at the stadium but I mean, it's like, how much money was? We were, we were bad with the inside, inside information game because Gronk makes that fucking kick again, too.

No, I know. Push it. No, grunk, we saw Grunk on the way into Radio Row. We were like, I'm going to drink. He's like, I've been practicing. He said, I'm going to practice right now. He wasn't practicing. He spent too much time with the Grunk Beach party.

We saw him at the beach party. Yeah, him and Jules. I think you spent too much time at the Gromk Beach party. So it was our last day. We were leaving. I thought no one was going in the afternoon. I went back to the room, just be alone. I come down to get some buffet right after before the flight and I'm like, man,

You can't say Stewart at him. Why didn't have it? Better? Better. The flight attendant woke me up. Nice gal. Gail? Give me a rick.

Do you want any vodka? I looked at her with like a cocktie and I was like, no. She was like, well, that guy back there wants you to drink. He tried to buy you. And I turned around and Steve was like three seats and I said, give me the vodka. I opened it, crushed it. I went back to sleep. I fired off a tweet and I fell asleep.

That's good. Dude, Steve is a unit. Steve popping up beyond his seat. He respects the hell out of all you guys. After the week of work you guys put in. He does. He said, and I quote, just a bunch of grinder. They are grinders.

They don't have a fucking choice because they're scared of their boss. They're like, oh, God, do we have to continue working? No, but they worked their ass off this week, and we did. We got a lot of great interviews. Like I said, Luke Keekley could run for president. Vernon Davis came by. It was so fun to see Vernon. He can't beat Vivek.

What? Oh, no, yeah, right, exactly. Exactly. People would be like, people would be like, people would be like, well, you know, like, I only vote for an alpha male, like Vivek. Luke, thank you for coming to speak to me today. I don't know.

I like Trump. I like guys who got it out of the mud. This Luke Keekly guy. Luke Keekly is the best and the coolest. And like, what he lives with his, does he still live with his parents? No. I don't think he lives with his parents,

but he was so cool. We saw Michael Vic. Michael Vic came by with his big hat. He had, he was there with the big head. saw that. So I got to interview Vic for a little bit. Howie Long. Michael Pitman, Jr. We obviously got Jason Kelsey for an hour. Tray. Mom and Meg came on the set? Yep. Yep. Trey McBride was awesome. Jay Glazer was good to see him. But then, like, walking around the media center, I got to meet Josh Allen, and I got to apologize to Josh. And I don't know if this is unnecessary to apologize to him.

I don't know because I really, I was like worried that he heard that and took it the wrong way at some point. It didn't seem like he had heard. No, he hadn't heard it. Seemed genuine. But I came with Josh, and I was like, hey, I just want to apologize, man. I called you a roller coaster ride on meth. And I said, and we're doing the post-game DAP. Like, we're both, like, doing that thing where the quarterbacks. And I'm like, I apologize.

And he's looking at me and he goes, that sounds like the biggest compliment. I'm like, give me. I go, that's what it was meant as. I think he said that's the coolest fucking thing I've ever heard. And I said, I think part of it might have been like, I had something else to go to. But he was like, yeah, you look good, good to see it. I was like, all right, that went well. He did say you look really good.

He said I looked good. He didn't say he looked really good. You look really good. I was like, Josh. I was like, sir, you too. Look at it. Like, I look so much smaller in Josh Allen. He's big.

We met Josh Allen. Little Dickie. Little Dickie. Little Dickie. You know who's bigger than I expected? Who? Drake. Oh, that's funny.

But you know, it is, it's all about the angle, Kyle. It's all about if you can squeeze the bottom. It's amazing his plane is big enough. I'm not that impressed. It's amazing his plane. I'm not that impressed. To where he can unfro. Roll that weapon.

He's squeezing the life out of his. Yeah. I mean, like, he's on, he's on IR. I just had to make a video. Oh, you know, it's not a video. No. Picture. I didn't.

I mean, anybody can squeeze the bottom like that. You know, it's like, fucking. You think I want to see that video? It's unhealthy. You think my day's not bad enough as it is? Oh, man. Yeah, that was a tough one to see come across the timeline. Oh, I always get geek.

77. What's going on at Drake's pool? I don't be showing it, but, Chris, I don't know if you notice or not, because he's like... Fly on the wall, the guy videoing or the gal videoing. She's like 20 feet away. It's like, what's going on there? He's like alone on the... You know when they say I wouldn't touch her with a 20-foot pole?

Well, Drake began. Kyle, again, I think it's angles. I don't know. I'm just on the theme of like... Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got you. I don't know if you know this or not, but I get geek anytime we're around. SVP. Oh, is that your boy. And like, to me, I'm just like, I grew up watching. We were back in the high limit room with Scott. And so, like, us being around him, like, this weekend, like,

that shit was, like, so lit for me. But on the last day, I'm at the table playing. And there's, like, a couple there for the Super Bowl. And they're having a good time. And they're seeing, like, football players walk by it. And they're like, they're geeking out. Yeah. I'm playing on the table. SVP comes up behind me and was like, Dr. Fax, like, how you doing? Whatever. started talking to me and these people like their jaw drops right right they're draw drops they're like yo and he just like it was it was funny and also like seeing getting together i got to get together with and i'm just going to like it was almost like i i set the dinner up but i didn't um scott wanted to get dinner with me and ryan possibly and dan was in that big cat was in town

and uh stand for steve obviously oh you got to see big cat yeah and so yeah big cat So we had table for five. We get down to eating. We played credit card roulette at the end to see who pays. It's a good little group. It's a guilt-free group. But Dan, like with 20 minutes left, is like, I got to go. I got to catch a flight.

So he didn't have to play a credit card roulette. Uncle Ryan lost. He had to pay. But those guys, to me, not to be sentimental, all in different ways have helped me a lot. Like, there's no green light if I didn't meet those guys. And it's funny, this is the great thing about the, Super Bowl, you meet all the types of people. That's where I met Scott and Ryan way back in like Tampa

in like 2010 or whatever it was. And, you know, like they started having me on their show. That helped me kind of get comfortable. But I just enjoyed like talking to them because they're cool guys, a regular guys. And then, you know, Ryan having me on his show, my first year out, Steve being willing to come on this show so much, Scott letting him come on this show so much. Dan's helped us a lot. Like that was really cool for me to get dinner with those. those guys because they really are on a week where we're looking up and we're saying, oh, green lights kind of taken off. You said that to me. Like you could feel like we're, there are people that there's nothing more gratifying to meet in people that are like,

I like your stuff. Like when you went to Kansas City, I was, you know, I'm, I'm never surprised to hear that people have heard the show. I am. But when I hear people that are so willingly coming up to you and offering up like gushing compliments about the insight that you have on Monday or guys from my work that, that I'll remain on a name that say, I prep for my shows listening to your Monday show. That's interesting. Because your brother's so good at it. Well, because you're good at it too.

And so he goes, I laugh at you, but your brother, T. Well, no, but what I'm saying is there's no us. There's no this show if it's not for those guys. And I think, like, they've paid it forward. And so I appreciate them. It was a great dinner. And I didn't have to pay a cent because Uncle Ryan lost. Look at the picked-up check odds.

SBP? How tall is SBP? He's six, six, six, seven. He's a little bit farther than me. And I think that geeks me out too, like seeing him in person being like, holy shit. Because nine times out of ten, anyone you see on TV, when you see them in real life, they're small. Like, I know I'm a big person, but they're like, like, smaller than what I would anticipate. But meeting and seeing him, I'm just like, yo, he's a giant.

He's like a big, big person. Oh, this is good. Okay. So, by the way, also played blackjack in the high limit room with scott and then chris and and i don't know really how to play which i don't really care but here's the deal we two days earlier but bow texting me huh we could get really good at black jack yeah it's just 21 so no it's analytics it's just like punt or no he doesn't understand so anyways you would love that game bo no no no no okay so bo hits me up

bow's like hey i'm over at the aria it's me and kelsey come on like i had like two hours one day so i went over there. I walk into that blackjack table or wherever they have it and it's it's Kelsey Beau. It's Baker Mayfield. It's a boxer that I can't remember his name. There was a boxer there famous boxer. Burke Kreischer and Tom Seguer and the guys from Boston were there and they walked out. I really just want to see my boy Jack. Shout out to Jack from Boston. Jack Mack. I love Jack. And he's almost just too good looking, bro. Like that mustache, he's like Tom Selleck of our generation. but we walk in this room and all it's like the who's who Baker Mayfield's in there I didn't have any chips I don't play tables

Beau's like I'm down bad Chris like I need help I go I'll win you some money I'm kind of fucking around Baker's like he'd go Chris like I was like oh thanks dad he gave me some chips so I go over I met him he's a nice guy he's the he's great I met him I like I like Baker really nice so I go over and I'm at the table with Burton a couple guys and they're like play one hand I'm like I'll put all of it on this hand and dad's like Baker's like, And I get,

and I get, and I get, and I get 14, right? And, that's a tough spot to be. Not for me. I'm Dan Campbell. What's showing, though.

What's showing? I don't, I don't look at what's showing. Exactly. That's the issue. I got it, I got it. Like what he's playing again. And I,

and I, and I decide to hit, and I decide to hit because, you know, like, fuck it. Seven. Oh,

but everyone, and so everybody goes nuts. And everybody's mad to it first. And Chris is like, it again. Yeah. I too like to live dangerously. Like it was a rockist.

It was a big moment for me. People pat me on the back. It was kind of one of the slow motion moments. And then I take all the chips and I try to give him to baker and he's like, no, bro. So then Funny Marco walks in, who if you know who Funny Marco is, he's like the funniest person on the internet to me. And I'm a huge fan of Funny Marker. So I start fanboying.

I don't fanboy over people. I walked right to the front where Alicia, who's Ryan Clark. Did he funny Marco you? So I walk up. Oh, no. So I walk up and I'm like, dude, you're the fucking goat, bro. And he doused me up and he goes, what the fuck are you like Max Crosby's uncle? And I said, I was just like, man, this dude's funny.

So we start talking for a minute or two. And he's like kind of in character but not. Like he's cool as shit. Long story short, he says he wants to come camping with us. He wants to come up to Virginia and come camping with us. He goes, will you take me camping? I'm like, yeah, no problem with that face. And so I walk over and I grabbed the chips that I won because I'm trying to give them away.

I don't want to go to the cage and shit. Time is money. Time is money. Holy shit. I'm having a good time. I don't want to go to the cage. So I walk over and I give, I'm like, here, here, take like $600, bro. And, you know, I think he's going to turn it down and he's like, yeah, no problem.

Bro, I don't think any black versus. Turned down free money, bro. Yeah, right. Bro, I cashed a $13 receipt. A little ticket. I put 20 bucks. The only 20 bucks I spent in Vegas, I put it in one of those, like, keynote machines.

Really? Didn't know what it was. Mashed a couple buttons. Did it work? Couldn't figure out of max bet. Did it work? I lost six and a half bucks. He's a big keynote guy.

So you want to know what's funny? Like, they had those slot machines set up at the media center. My ass walking through the media center, the day after being like being hung over I'm thinking I'm getting lucky and someone left money in the machine and I hit it and I win I think I win big money

and they had it set so everyone like wins it had no money in it well that's like going to play poker with Dana White Dana White supposedly it's like easy to win with Dana White they're like scholarship yeah it's like being on scholarship I think Taylor won

won like 700K something crazy and and yeah he's grooming young gamblers. That all seems exciting. Is there any way that he can take? But I'd rather give my $600 to Funny Marco. Huh? Oh, that's funny.

Yeah? I said, is there any way you can set up Dana White taking us so we can win that much money? I'll work on it. I guess I got a fight in the UFC. I'll work on it. I got to be one of his guys. Let's see.

Shout out to the sucker bets. Then you can gamble for free. Yeah. Shout out to the sucker bets on 21 because I left Vegas up this trip. And it's because of the sucker bets on. on 21. I played free bet 21. And on those, a 22.

If the dealer hits a 22, it's usually a loss, but it's a push. So that game, you can bet on. This is just semantics. Yeah, you can bet on if the dealer's going to hit 22 or not on the side bet, and I hit that. You're talking to a guy who went to the high limit room. You saw this.

It said safe. After winning what I won. played two hands with Uncle Ryan's money, and they hand me a six and an ace, and I go, safe. I go, I'm safe. No. I like to be safe. He goes like this with two hands.

Yeah, whatever it is. And SVP, that SVP was very upset about his gambling that night, but that tickled him so. Yeah, because SVP was taking a bath. They said Jay-Z was in there playing before. And 21 Savage. And 21-21. 21. I love 21 Savage.

I love 21 Savage. Also, one more thing from the game last night. I want to talk about this. This should have been maybe our biggest moment. So, like, you saw James Brown. You give the backstory on this, like, last week. And he said, you know, I heard your brother use this term. Yeah, J.B. called me, Uncle J.B.

He used to work with Dad at Fox for a very long time. We were just jits when we got to know J. He calls me. I'm lucky enough to have him in my phone book. He calls me the other day, and he's like. He's lucky. He's like, young, young Kyle, I'm in the barbershop, excuse me for being a bit animated, him and the guys were chopping it up.

He looks great, by the way. And he's like, and I'm talking to some of these haters in here, and they're talking about this Brock Purdy character. And, you know, we were listening to the Greenlight podcast, and I got to hear your brother describe him as, what was the phrase he used? I said, game executive, game exactly. He's like, he's like, I just love that, Kyle.

And I was thinking about using it on the pregame. He's like, you got to get permission. from your brother here. I don't want to be stealing any of his thunder. No, no, it was fine. It was like going into commercial, he was like, and Howie Long's son, also Chris Long said game executive. And I was like, all right, that'll, that's a solid. That'll help the podcast somehow. It's a solid. And then at the end of the game, they're going to commercial, and he's like,

Brock Purdy is no longer a game executive. And I'm like, I didn't hear that part. I'm like, oh, now we're just, you know, and here's the crazy part. I want to say this. I'm not sure how it went. There was one day where me and Megan were sitting here and we both had one job. I think my job was to be like let's rebrand game manager and he said game executive. So this is Macon's term. Either that or it was there's no uh-oh. No, this is. He is just the worst

isn't he with this stuff? I'm saying uh-oh for them. Oh, no. For the people using the term. No, I mean, not really. Not really. Yeah, because they're he's a making's term? Yeah. They don't know it? So, so, you know, like, and I haven't heard anything

from Macon yet. I'm sure he'd be all over my IP, his IP. But one of the two of us came up with the term, and I'm not sure it was me. One of the two of us said we need to rebrand this thing.

So it was a group effort. I want to give Macon some credit here. Macon plays. Macon made the Super Bowl. Now, it wasn't credited to Green Light. It was credited to Howie Long Sun. Dad texted me this morning. He did say Green Light.

No, he didn't. He did. No, he did? Yeah. He said, no. No. He said, Howie Long's son, Chris Long. Yeah.

So, dad texts me this morning, and he's like, do you got a shout out of the pregame? I was like, yeah, dad, so did you. It was cool. He's like, sorry. I'm like, I'm not saying it's your fault. But like, you know, it's just all roads lead back to Howie Long. It's like I saw one of my colleagues last week who's on the big, you know, I'm on tops, and then there's the big show, NFL today.

and I saw them walking, I saw the whole crew walking out. And, you know, Coach, Phil, boom, all those guys. They know me first name and they know dad as well. But one of the sideline reporters, one of the main ones, she will remain unnamed, walks up and goes, Chris! And I said, sorry, that's my brother. And she goes, Jake, you know, this brother thing really throws me off. That's funny.

And you were like, nice meeting you. And Jay Feely was behind her, who knows me extremely well. he's just like... By the way, Jay Feely tried to jinx Harris-Bucker so bad. He did. Oh, my God. He was like, he's basically the best kicker

of all time from this distance. And Tony was like, Oh, no, Jay! Don't do it. I saw Tony Romo playing Blackjack at like 2 in the morning, too, by the way. We saw... There's more people. We saw Antonio Pierce, got to catch up with AP for a little bit.

Funny thing is, I told you I had beers with him when I was a young player. I also had a couple beers of them late at night one year ago at the Super Bowl. It's just so funny to think about a year ago that was AP and now he's like got the keys to the car. And, you know, it's so refreshing talking to him because you can tell he just has no ego. You know, like that's, he knows who he is and he knows what his, what his profile can do, but he also has no ego. And like talking about him learning on the fly and all that stuff, like he was very open about it.

just and I think he's great also we saw flavor flabe walking through the radio row oh yeah i met mark davis yeah i got a picture where mark phillips comedian rdc they have like you you recognize them from doing the skits he does the funny like lebron after game skits yes yeah yes yeah his name is mark phillops you got to show me how to follow him okay i got you um like i saw seen justina erinerson i don't know if you guys watching like wiling out she's great Oh, I thought you were mispronouncing Josina Anderson's name. And there was this moment where me and her kind of had, like, beef because she was trying to, like, drive a wedge in our locker room.

Okay. And so, like, you kept saying Justina Anderson, and I was like, you know, like, I'm looking at her. Damn, I'm saying her name wrong. I'm mixing it up. My bad. Justina Valentine. Okay. That is the girl.

Valentine Anderson. Yes. I met Kate Abdo. No way. You know who that is? Sky Sports. Met Kate Abdo. Cool.

And I met. Me and all my colleagues were like, awesome. Kate Abdo. I know Chris, I wonder if Kyle. In person, it's like intimidating. Yeah. Yeah, I can imagine. You know they have the picture where they're like,

this is what people are going to look like in the year 3100. Yeah. It's just like a beautiful person from the future. Yeah, I can't tell if we're, it's a minefield because we're going to say that Kate Abdo's hot and our wives are listening or something. No, Kate, my wife and I have this conversation. We were actually like trying to figure out like how somebody ends up just being able to like wake up. and looking like that.

Yes. Yeah. You were asking me about cool people like that. Yes, that was cool. That was cool. And she was a CBS host for us for the premiership. So she was there with Tiari Henri and Micah, and they were all flat, all clapped. Henri wrote on the Concord three times.

Did you know that? Did he really? That's like, he's a survivor. I was asking him, I was like, how long's the fight? He would have been way better. Was Henri cool? He was like very, he's the vet in the back of locker room, that's Jill. But if you go and you dangle a conversational line there, he'll, he'll be.

I was like, who's the, he'll, he'll, he'll, he'll, he'll, he'll, I was like who's the toughest guy you ever played against you know and 10 minutes later I was like he's a fucking awesome dude that's so cool it's a great experience around the world like people from all over media members from everywhere it's really cool super cool the center of the fucking for not even the sports universe it's also it's also the one place you can do a podcast in front of a tacoma for Toyota the the official motor motor vehicle sponsor of uh of the NFL and um and i drive to Toyota. So does Kyle. Okay. Thanks to Toyota and the brand new Toyota Tacoma, we had an amazing time at the NFL Media Center in Las Vegas from the most badass set in all of Radio Row. We even had the all new 2024 Toyota Tacoma on our set. David and Joku loved it so much. He really did try to drive it off Radio Row. With its trail dominating power, legendary capability and captivating style, it caught everyone's eye. The all new Toyota Tacoma dares you to come out and play. The all new, 2020 4 Toyota Tacoma is the most powerful Tacoma ever Kyle and it's time to make your off-roading

We also have a shout out to Ted Karras, who won the Toyota Charity Challenge at Radio Row with his low score on the Toyota Challenge Grid Game and received a charity donation from Toyota. much love, and thanks to Toyota Tacoma for again making the green light set the best at Radio Row. Toyota, the official automotive partner of the NFL. And here's DeLyre DeLilly from Toyota. We had a great conversation with her. We're talking about the brand partnership.

I'm geeking out because I love Toyota, and she'll be able to shed a little bit of light on how we came to this point. Toyota guy, so this fits for me in a lot of ways. but Deidre, how excited are you for your partnership with the NFL and why does it work partnering with a Toyota guy, the authenticity there? Yeah, great question. So first of all, thanks for having us. You know, we have been involved in football for a long time with NBC Sunday night football, halftime integrations, and we actually had 11 club deals in place before we entered into the league

partnership. But it's all about finding ways to get closer to the fan, right? And so partnering with players like yourself allows us to have a point of connectivity with the fan to bring fans closer to the Toyota brand. And we just signed national deals with Brock Purdy and Eli Manning, which we announced last week. Super pumped about that. He's in the game. That works out really well for us. But we're really careful about who we partner with.

And I think the authenticity of partnership is so critical. we're, you know, we're a brand who takes brand reputation very seriously. And so it's not just about finding, you know, the best performing player on the field. The driving factor for us is really character and shared values. Right. And so, you know, someone like you who we're really proud to partner with and also has brand loyalty and... A ton of brand loyalty. Big Toyota guy. Yeah, my wife's like, Toyota's take up like half our property. I got a lot of trucks and a lot of them are Toyota, so most of them. We love that. Thank you for that. So, yeah, I mean, it's just really about finding someone's people that we can connect with on a lot of different levels.

And it's not just about using the rights or the IP of a player. We truly want to partner with players who want to grow with us and that, you know, we obviously can connect closer with the fan around, but it's a two-way street, right? So how can we give players a platform and resources to help communicate things that they care about off the field? All right. So I'm going to ask you a curveball here. your favorite current Toyota in the lineup. And then maybe an older truck that you like.

So I'm actually driving the Toyota Supra right now. Oh, really? I am. Yeah, fast car. It's a ton of fun. But, you know, I got to say the all-new 2024 Tacoma is, it's pretty sexy, right? That thing's sweet. And I'm a big guy, and I've been in Tacoma's.

There's room enough for me. There is. I mean, so, yeah, and for me, I'm a tundra driver now, and I have my favorite truck, maybe ever is the FJ62. I got a 1990. It's red. Things sweet. I love the FJ55s.

I love the 40s. I love the 40s. I love them all. So at some point, if I ever hit it big, I'm going to own them all. Okay, so let's explain to people what's going on here right where we're sitting all week. Yeah. So we are surrounded by 6,000 media. which is pretty fantastic and partnering with you with Greenlight with Chris Long to host a number of different players, execute interviews.

And I think one of the favorite things that we're doing here in the space is the Toyota Grid Challenge, which... For the Grids. Yeah, it's going to be a ton of fun. So a trivia challenge where Toyota can then donate, you know, some funds to give players and personalities money towards their preferred charities. That's awesome. So, yeah, Toyota doing good for others. you know, even in a situation like this. And I think the grids are a lot of fun.

So check those out. Good way to catch up on some nostalgic players from the 90s and 80s. And then what's going on outside the media center? You guys have a ton cooking this week with the NFL. We do. I have a busy team of people standing here looking at us that have been really hard at work. So we announced our official partnership with the NFL back in October. So it was week six.

So we jumped in this thing. Very late in the game. So kind of drinking from the fire hose here, but I feel like we're really capitalizing on all the right opportunities for the brand and for the fans. So, you know, it's about connecting with, I think the NFL is now up to 200 plus million avid, really diverse fans and finding ways to help elevate the fan experience. So outside of media center where, you know, we have a lot of content capture happening. We have Dave Chang, his show is going to be here.

So Celebrity Chef, who's going to have a, fun food contest in the space. And then we are the presenting sponsor. So Super Bowl X, Super Bowl Experience, presenting sponsor. And over there, we have a really fun challenge, so hopefully you can check it out and participate. I love challenges. Yeah.

So in the spirit of Super Bowl 58, we are giving fans 58 seconds to run through our experience. It's called Four Down Territory. Nice. So a bunch of obstacles that are football themed. And it culminates in this big pit of. of 58,000 footballs. And jump into that pit? Absolutely.

All right, I'm there. We need you to do that. All right. I want jump in the plate. Yeah, so there you can win gifts from hats to NFL, shop gift cards to the ultimate prize, which is a VIP experience at Super Bowl 59 and New Orleans. So it's going to be a ton of fun. That's so cool.

I mean, as a Toyota fan, head over heels for this partnership, it's been awesome working with y'all. And I'm really excited about you guys just being kind of in this seat. You're sitting in this week. as the official sponsor, official automotive sponsor. And this Toyota Content Center is incredible. So, like, if you're seeing this somewhere else, like, come by and check it out. Because this thing, I mean, it's awesome.

We got a goalpost. We got a Tacoma. We got a lot of space. Hey, if you're out there, come check us out. And thank you so much to Toyota and to Deidre for lending your expertise and your time when it comes to the best product on the road as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for having us and thanks for being a loyal customer. We really appreciate you.

Thank you so much. Guys, it was clear to me. Toyota was catching, you know, turning heads, catching eyes all week. Like, people want to drive this truck. Yeah. Yeah, it was sweet. I can barely talk. Here's the thing.

There's nothing better than leaving Vegas. As bad as you want to go to Vegas, the last night when you get in your room, and we did two, four a ms. We did like a 6 a.m. I was eating a grilled cheese at 5 a.m. One night. Turn around. I'm watching Jimmy Houston on ESPN because I can't work the iPad that changes the channel.

I'm just stuck on Jimmy Houston. You know, like those are the moments in Vegas where you're like, ah, we made it out alive. And so I'm so thankful we got all our work in. We had a great time. We hit the club a couple nights. We got some good dinners. It was just a lot of fun. PFT Commenter came with us to the club the last night.

Good guy. Had a lot of fun with PFT. Normal, dude. Just such a normal guy. And wait. Relentlessly normal. So smart. Relentlessly smart.

Relentlessly smart. Yeah, so. Let's roll through our America's team. Yeah. Let's do it. America's fine. I'll run through yours down the bottom. One, two, three, four, five.

Number one, America's team is just the city of Las Vegas. The municipality of Las Vegas, from security to entertainment. You know, you factor in the Super Bowl. It's the center of the universe. That place, the infrastructure was built for it. I don't like the strip being all cars, 13 lanes of traffic. It should be more options for. That's the place they can use it too.

Likeable, you know, whatever it is. But I think Las Vegas, that was the perfect setting. Underground tubes, casino to casino? Tunnels. Talk to the people in New York. Yeah. Get some tunnels. Number two, strippers in Las Vegas.

I did some stripper meth. Tech 9 spent 20,000. Two short spent 15,000. And those are like, you know, D-list. That's true? Yeah. So hear me out. That's not that much.

Chamber of Commerce says that there was $215 million of revenue brought into the city in just food, drinks, and in quotations, entertainment. I would have to imagine some educations would be paid for during Super Bowl week. Number three, NPC casinos, Chris. You ever played Red Dead Redemption? No. The second one? Well, here's the deal.

They've got these saloons you can go into. And sometimes you walk into a bugged saloon. And you walk in there and there may be a dealer at a table by himself. And he's got a cigar let and he's ready to do your bidding. I felt like that when I was at our hotel, The Virgin, great spot, the old hard rock. They have dozens, if not hundreds of tables of dealers standing there ready, and there's nobody in there gambling.

So I'm just thinking, are these MPCs? Is this the first iteration of AI? Because you're not going to have all this overhead of having human beings on your staff if nobody's going to gamble. NPC casinos, number three. Number four, Drake. Why not, Kyle? Massive, huge.

Just guys pulsating right now. Five. Greenlight Wow Kind of like the space Needle a little bit You brought that up A couple of times

In this show For someone who Did not see the picture I think what he's trying to say Is you like Drake's dick Go ahead His hypothesis No but he's saying that

He just had a kid I get through this How did you not see Or watch the video I get through this You got it I have my finger on the pulse Nate

No you got it Nate You got it Nate Whatever you say Nate I have my finger on the pulse Two hand Yeah Two hands Okay five

Green light Pod was amazing all week And I got back to the hotel room Late every night and I was up super early I was eating at the 24 diner At the Virgin Hotel every morning And I was catching up on all the socials Aiden, Reed, Matt, Nolan

Facts, you guys are fucking rock stars Everybody looked at you. Fuck, you took my first America's team It was going to be a big thank you. I'm just joking. And those are my American's team. And I got to get out of here soon because I have a pediatrician.

I'm driving. We could look at it. Kyle read his mentions right now and then get out of here and then we can hit your America's team that's fine what time you got to roll I have to pick them up a 315 again okay okay at the cat yeah you need to leave you need to go so let me read these best flight Matt Ryan flew with the Thunderbirds this week very cool also got to hang out with Matt in the trailer out there behind the set I've never really spent any time with him outside of working with him in the studio and he is a class

act Matt Ryan I wish I knew that a long time ago he would have been at the top of my list for quarterbacks I rooted for worst flight, anybody leaving before noon today in Vegas. Bevel Conway, the city of Las Vegas, or Taylor not going on stage, both of which were very impressive. Anti-Bevel Conway, the wind on our set, outdoor set. We had a drone, and we also had a wire camera. The wind was so bad that the wire went from outside of our set and it hit me in the throat. Oh my God. During our rehearsal. Could have been hurt. Closline. Could have. I could have been, you know, a pretty wealthy guy. How Jay Feeley doing the wind?

He was just short enough to where the wire missed him. Okay. Fly on the wall. Ice Spice. Jason Kelsey intro. This is ice or this is spice or this is Ice Spice or this is Ice Spice? I think it's Ice Spice. How do you intro?

I'm Ice. I think she says, hi, I'm Spice. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're actually like a bunch, Carl. Just a question. It's kind of like you see those diagrams of dogs with pants on. How does this dog get to wear pants on his front, on his back? Yeah.

That's like, how do you intro yourself? Yeah, it's complicated. Best seat me and my wife with our newborn watching the goat win the Super Bowl and I was smiling and laughing the whole time I was getting I'm a fan Yeah Then I say that we're seat Dre Greenlaw in his small Japanese pickup truck Mm-hmm mm-hmm which was comically small it was small that's a small cart Hallow man the Niners staff and leadership for not knowing the overtime rules and conveying those rules to their players St. Louis Memorial, Brett Veach, for constructing a dynasty.

The Game Ball. Patrick Mahome. Yeah. Dynasty, he's a shapeshifter. He can do the read option. He's a Sam site. He's clutch. And like we said earlier, and Travis said it last week.

There's fountains and there's drains. And we know Travis is a big fountain, but there's no bigger fountain. This is a Drake thing? That reigns energy on his teammate. than Patrick Mahomes. Nobody makes his team better than Patrick Mahomes. No, he's the... In addition to being the best player.

He's like the Bellagio fountain. And with that, the 2024 season... That can go be a dad. Yes, thank you guys. I'll finish up. Finish up. Listen to the car. this is good some product placement little caesar's jumpsuit all right so here's the deal i got to get

through my mentions um and then we're going to get out of here nates wow he does that everywhere germaphobe he really did just disinfect the yeah but he'll share a blunt with anybody no that's not true i stopped that so you do it with me i've stopped that you share them with me all the time i've Stop that. You stop sharing blunts with everybody? Yo, if you guys haven't realized in a while, like, I have not been passing a blunt. You know, post-pandemic, I think it's perfectly okay to be like, no. Rudy go bare, yo.

It is okay to be nice. Rudy go bare. Man, I told multiple people no during the Pandy, you know, strangers at like the Hollywood Bowl and shit like that. I'm like, no. I'll usually just give them the whole thing and then walk away. That's Chris's thing. I'll make something up.

No, Chris's thing is the smoke, like, he'll be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, we can. And then, like, he'll smoke the first half. And then he'd be like, yeah, here. And then when someone tried to pass it back, like, nah, you keep you. Yeah, because it goes, yeah, that's the move. That's the move. Because I don't want, you know.

You don't want to make someone feel bad. Especially in Vegas. I don't know where you were last night. I don't know what's going on. All right. So, uh, we got America's team. I'll go, yeah, America's teams. Okay, the liberal elites.

Because obviously they just pulled off a huge caper. They rigged the game. They rigged the game. It went perfectly according to plan. Joe Biden radioed down to Steve Wilkes and he's like, why don't you heat him up here? Bro. And then, you know, and then... Who sent that off?

What? You see the tweet? What? That it was rigged? Just like we planned. Oh, it's funny as hell. It's funny as hell because it's like trolling. You should really like that.

Now, now here's, there's just kind of a design flaw when it comes to, like, winning. You're not going to win over the people of Kansas City. Like that's a, Missouri's a red state. So like I don't know really what the strategy here is. If you're telling me that they're going to beat San Francisco in the Super Bowl, that's where all the liberals are. So now you turn the liberals against you because Joe Biden did it. It's like, I don't know. I don't know what the, I just am going to really enjoy over the next four to six days, like reading about all the conspiracies.

We didn't get a Joe Biden endorsement from Taylor Swift during the game. I thought that was going to happen. I thought that was part of the script. So I guess I'll just I'll tip my cap to the liberal elites because they they fix this game. Well the big political conspiracies since Biden didn't do an interview, maybe he's not going to run. No, he's probably going to run. He probably just doesn't want to do a lot of interviews, which I also kind of, okay, not to get political here. But anyways, the pilots, the pilots that did the flyover.

We get to meet all those guys. They were cool as hell. Even though we didn't need a flyover, we were indoors. I'm going to give an America's team to Spags. Spags, period. He's not going to get an MVP. That's Patrick Mahomes. But I got to say, I don't think they're there without that defense, and I don't think they're there without Spags.

And I think it's incredible that that guy was able to get so much out of this group. With some of the injuries they had this year at different spots, with some of the situations that the offense put them in throughout the season. So America's teams, I'll give it to just spags. He's just one little guy from Boston, but he gets an America's team. Mean Street. I don't have a lot of America's teams. Let's get into.

Oh, I'll give you another one, Usher and Alicia Keys. Ooh. You know? Amazing. Amazing. Yo, shout out to Usher. That was like high school for me. You know what's crazy?

Usher Moonwalked on turf. Do you know, for one, how hard it is to moonwalk and then to be able to moonwalk on turf? Can I say something, though? when he took his shirt off I know it was supposed to be like uncomfortable for all the guys because all their girls are staring at us and his shirts off and shit

but I don't think he's built any better than me I know he's older but like that didn't impress me no so like watching the show and going back I think him taking Is that hate? No I think him taking off the shirt was part of the costume change because he put a shirt

You know the costume it was like a NASCAR pit crew and I think that was to hurry that process up I think they had to figure out a way, hey, like, let's work this out with no messups. Yeah. Rather than trying to rip it off last minute and put another shirt on, I think that was. Well, I was encouraged. I was just like, yeah, I'm like 240.

I've looked as good as much. But you can't dance like that. No. You can't roller skate like that either. Can you what? Roller skate. No, I can't roller skate. I can't moonwalk, can't do anything.

That was dope, too, because it's a, it's a, how do you say? It's a homage to Atlanta. Yeah, that's where he's from. Like, and they're big on the roller skis. But the last couple, uh, halftime shows have been catering to our age group, which is great.

You know, you had the one with Dr. Dre and Eminem and all that shit. And you know why? Shout out to Jay Z. Jay Z. He took over and he's the, well,

also, the one that like leads and picks the halftime. It's also nice because like, hey, they're marketing to us. And like, then you go to commercial and they're like, here's Addison Ray for nerd rope.

So I'm like, who the fuck is that? So it's nice to be like, oh, there's little John. And by the way, it was almost like one of those memes with the guy walking with his girlfriend and she's disgusted because he's looking at somebody else. You know that meme? You know, the girlfriend is like Usher's abs and like I'm the guy and I'm actually looking at Little John because he looks fucking great.

Little John looks yoke, dude. He's never looked so in shape in his life. So everybody's looking at Usher and his abs. But Little John had some guns on him, bro. He's been in the lab. And shout out to Swiss beats too because in black Twitter right now, they try to. Like they always do. They try to make controversy

because Usher was performing with like being close to Yeah, close. But Twist Bees came out and... They were in a standing spoon. I was thinking about Swiss Beets immediately. It's performance and Swiss Bees came out and he deaded everything, like put out a tweet

and was just like, you guys are crazy. Like, it was incredible... You guys are crazy. I would never be jealous of Usher with his hands around my wife's hips. No. Smiling at her. No, it was an incredible performance.

You're crazy. crazy. I mean, hey, confident guys. Whizzie. Reba McIntyre crushed it and hit the over. So shout out to her. So I'm going to go into, let's go and do a quick word from our friends at Miller. Miller Light because we're going to the Miller Light moment. Shout out to Miller Light for keeping our thirst quenched all season long and delivering us great moments all season long. Every football season. There's one thing that pairs well with every great moment, an ice cold Miller light. And even though the clock on the 2003 NFL season is run out, boy, that feels

weird to say. You can't go wrong with the Miller light in your hand. It's the only light beer with the taste worthy of our national obsession. Because what's the point of having beer? If it doesn't taste like, well, beer. It's got only 96 calories and 3.2 carbs for 12 ounce serving with a smooth taste and a clean finish. You can get the taste you crave without the calories. So this offseason, while we wait for another round of

football, crack open a light beer that hits your taste buds so hard, Nate, you feel it in your heart. Get Miller Lite delivered right to your door. Visit millerlight.com slash green light. Okay, moments. Or you can find it pretty much anywhere that sells beer, celebrate responsibly. Miller Lite brewing company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces. Okay. Nicely done. Hollow man. hollow man i'm going to give it to darrell luter junior he's the guy who the punt hit him in the foot and i tweeted this last night but i'm wondering if jesus would be willing to wash his foot

i was just going to ask you i was just going to ask you if you if you washed anyone's feet no damn bro i can't believe they paid for quentin tarentino to make that there's a quentin tarentino joke here and i think the fly on the wall might be him at a super Super Bowl party getting an erection during a Jesus commercial. Nothing less socially acceptable than that. Yikes. Well, I mean, seriously. All right.

And some of the dogs in that commercial were just, were rough looking. You think the people that had Feetfinder were punching their air? Yeah, they were. All right. So I'm going to give the hollow man to the guy that muffed a punt, because, like, you know, it sucks. It got hidden in the game a little bit. I don't think that's the first thing people are talking about because it's not like you muffed it,

but it hit him in the leg. And I know they're yelling Peter and it's tough. And you were like, hey, it's not my boy's fault. It's not. But, like, you know, like as a casual fan and, like, the camera angles, it looked like it was just muff. Yes.

And then you see the return, then you're still trying to blame the returner. Oh, why didn't he tell him to get away? If you watch it, the returner's pointing, and every football player's been on special teams, knows when a returner's pointing like that, he's most likely yelling Peter, poison, whatever, the get away. And sometimes when you're engaged with another human being,

it's hard to get off and get out of the way. To hear it, to understand. Or when the Peter or poison, you don't know which way the ball is. So, like, you don't know which way to go. Yeah, they're not like Peter. It's right behind you. Exactly. You know, yeah, yeah.

It took a favorable bounce for Kansas City, and that was unfortunate. Changed like, Drake. All right He did it not me Kyle he was all over it He didn't see the picture of videos Bebble Conway I think the graphic When the teams finally scored touchdowns

It was like whoa in the end zone They had that big casino looking graphic That I thought it was great I thought it was beautiful Also when the sun went down Vegas looks really good at night And when the sun went down on the broadcast All the cutaways all the shots

They were gorgeous and it was a reminder that there was a very big gambling overtone to this game during the game and I was thinking about Vegas maybe Vegas is the hollow man

because you know Kansas City winning they took a little bit of a bath I think they did I didn't get to look and see where the tickets and the money were but I feel like

when I looked early in the week it was Kansas City yeah their biggest single prop handle was Kelsey over yards as well wow Yeah, so Vegas might have... I was feeling great about my underbet, which pushed.

And also, yeah, mine pushed too. I bought a point to 47 to get the over. Yeah, same. And I could not believe it, but at that point, I was happy because the Chiefs won. You know what the bevel, my bevel was? What? Was Travis and Taylor having that moment at the end of the game?

Yeah. And Travis chickened out. He got scared. He didn't go through it with the proposal. You think he was planning on proposing? Yeah, I think the moment was too big. With the Beville Conway of the cameras, of people being, it's actually going to happen.

You were, I wasn't thinking that. It's about to happen. I wasn't think of that. And then a few awkward kisses later, it didn't happen. All right, STL Memorial, I'm going to give it to Chanel. I think he played really well. Also, I'll give it to somebody outside the stadium. It was the guy who's probably sitting in jail right now that climbed the sphere.

I hope I hope it's like climbing the pyramids I hope that for us for us I hope he climbing the Mayan temples I hope he had a GoPro on and like this content will come out like later he'll be incredible like I really really hope he got to be incredible I can't mentally picture him and he got to the top he got to the top like that's fire it was incredible that's worth it um what are you in for

And he's in the sphere. How would that go? And realistically, yeah, it's fire for him because he's the first one to do it. You know there's going to be other people. There's going to be other people. If you climb stuff, you had to, as soon as they finish that. He caused 100K in damage, though. So that might be, yeah, just by walking. Are they just saying that?

No, they had to fix it. I saw the video of them fixing lights where he was walking up there. Oh, okay. So anyways, maybe not the best financial decision. Best and worst flight. Best flight. You got to give it to flight 87. We said that that would probably be the best flight.

It's Kansas City Chiefs fans on that return flight from Vegas to Kansas City. Flight 87 for Travis Kelsey. There was flight in 1989. That's what went out there is for Taylor Swift. But if you're on that flight, I can imagine those flights if your fans coming back from the Super Bowl, like there's just you and Chiefs fans on those flights. So that flight is like the best commercial flight you'll ever be on. or the worst but they pulled it out worst flight i got to give it to nolan

i don't know i didn't think we were gonna talk about this well they encouraged me to i was i was like i was coming in here i was like hey i got a worst flight but i'm looking for a different one they were like why are you doing the nolan thing and nolan's like just do it oh man this is so great because nolan almost got you you guys and gave you the story that it was because of motion sickness and that was BS. Total BS. That, that stewardess, that flight attendant was coming around so rapidly asking people if they want to refills or their drinks.

And I counted. This is on the team playing out. We chartered a flight inside the NFL and Greenlight. So I didn't feel bad about it because we paid for at least half the flight. Okay. So this is my plane too. This is our plane too. And Nolan, I remember at one point, I drank two drinks, and then I started getting hot and sweating a little bit.

And I said, you know what? I'm going to ask for some water. I'm going to slow down. What happens when you're drunk. Don't tear a rotator cup bagging yourself in the back. Exactly. But like, what happens when you're drunk is when someone's offering you free drinks, you're just like inclined to be like, yeah, I'll take another one. And I took a break.

And during this break, she came by probably three more times where I said no. And every time I said no, Nolan said yes. He said, Dan Campbell. He said. He was Dan Campbell in the McCallon. He said yes. And then, and everything was fine until the descent. And when the dissent started happening.

But that would support motion sickness. It definitely, it definitely probably would. But it wouldn't support judgment making and not be able to find. Oh, he's a HR. He's a HR. The little, the little latch to open up the bathroom door, which really was locked. So it's the fault of the plane. It was ultimately, the latch is so that the door, the plane door doesn't fly over.

I know, but the latch shouldn't keep you from getting in on descent. They locked the door and the descent. There was this point in the flight where Nolan had to rush back there and get to the bathroom. And the funniest thing is like, Ocho Cinco sitting back there in his spot, like right by the bathroom. And he was like, it was kind of a bit that he was like, I wanted to fly spirit. This is fucked up. Like he was complaining about a really nice private plane because like the internet wasn't fast enough

or maybe he liked his pretzels or whatever and we didn't have him. So his flight ends with Nolan rushing back there trying to get into the bathroom and just pain the bathroom doors with vomit. And if it's not for Ocho Cinco being one of the greatest route runners of all time, I don't think he ducks out of the way. Oh my God. And Nolan felt so bad because he was like, oh, I fucked up the plane.

I fucked up our ride. This is a big ride. The inside of it. Nobody. It could have happened to any of us. You know, most times when something fucked up happens and you're embarrassed, you realize that most people aren't really mad at you or thinking about you. They're just thinking about it.

They're glad it wasn't them. Yeah. You know? And somebody on that plane had to puke. It was just, he just did it for us. And so, you know, I would give worse flight to Nolan. When we got out at the tarmac, he was standing there like this. Yeah.

Like his arms couldn't be more cross. He was just like, uh, um, and then, and then his bag went with the inside the end of the people. And then he had to go back and get his bag. It's like the walk of shame. Like he had to go back after the walk of shame. Um, so worst flag is to give it to Nolan. Um, all right.

Um, best seat. I'm going to go bow at the sphere. Um, you know, like, just to put our cards on the table here, Bo and I at that, that blackjack table, we're getting it in. And I knew that after that, him and Kelsey were going to the sphere to watch you too. And I'm like, well, we better, we better get our buzz on, right? You know, boys, I'm going back to hotel, but y'all are going to see you two at the sphere. So let's get after it. You know what I'm saying?

And Bo's getting after it. You know, he's getting after it. and he walks to go to the sphere and I'm in my room and I get a picture from Bo because he doesn't know who sweet he's going to be in and it's my parents my parents are in the same suite as Bo and Bo is on another planet and I don't know how Kelsey's doing but I just did not assume that they would be walking into the sphere and sitting with my parents and Chris Rock and Adam Sandler and all these people and then Bo of all people gets in a conversation immediately with the commissioner

for like 30 minutes evidently him and the commissioner it's like your worst nightmare with a solid buzz on uh but i guess everybody was at you too having a good time he got a picture with roger but took it on a disposable camera jesus this guy was his disposable camera it was every moment because he forgot his phone idea of the weekend so whoever thought of that somebody forgot there's in in the car one day and and i and and they guy gave it to me to bring it to you guys so somebody's going to develop that i hope there's nothing bad on it um worst seat um probably probably i don't know if it's flyer on the wall or worst seat but roger goddell during the game when it was very objectively like and i love rock fights but i like an outdoor rock fight like in the elements this was an indoor rock fight that was

like very disjointed and sloppy for a while you know fumbles drops the whole thing Roger's probably sitting up there in the suite with whoever he's with, which is probably a bunch of famous people, and it's not an exciting game. And I got to feel like it's like when you have the ox cord and, you know, like everybody knows you're picking the music and the shuffle comes on and it's just some dog shit and you're embarrassed, but you can't get to the dogs. That's kind of how he felt up in the suite. And I think his most of his night was terrible. And then he was bailed out by overtime and the tremendous finish. but I think it had to be from a business standpoint, like their worst nightmare for 45 minutes.

It was like 10-0 for a long time. So the total pushing, that was not in the cards. Needed overtime and two scores. I marked it up. I cast it. It's crazy. How about your game ball? Game ball.

I'm going to give it to Chris Jones as agents. Nice. Getting the deal done. I know you were sitting up there. And, you know, it's like September, and they're watching the Lions game. And they're up there, and it looks like they've got this unified front where they're just not going to budge. But getting a deal done, and for Chris Jones to come back, I really don't think this defense could be the best defense in the league without Chris Jones. And I don't think they win the Super Bowl if Chris Jones and this defense aren't what they were this year.

So, I mean, I could give it to Patrick Mahomes. you know, I'm just trying not to be boring. The guy's incredible. The guy's going to have an opportunity to cement himself as the greatest ever play over the next 10 years. We'll see what happens. But I also think there's a greatest and best conversation. Brady's the greatest.

Until he wins as many or close to as many, he's not the greatest. But I'm pretty comfortable saying this version of Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback ever. Right in the middle of his prime. You're telling me, 28-year-old Brady, 27-year-old Mahomes, who's taking Brady?

You know, and no disrespect. He's my old teammate. He's the goat to me until Baham's goes out and does it. But in this little snapshot of three, four, or five years, like insane. Ada's going to quit.

Ada's going to quit. I love Brady. If you keep, if you keep doing the Brady shit, Hayden. He's a big Pat's fan. I love Brady. Brady, hey, listen,

I just said it. Brady's the greatest ever. Until Mahomes catches him and gets him, six Super Bowls with the same team or whatever you know I don't think he needs to get seven to to be if you can get six five six then we can have the conversation because you know I in basketball you could be like well Bill Russell you know like you just do championships but I think the best player there was like 16 teams totally different you know but I think the the best quarterback ever

in a snapshot is this Patrick Holmes it's like it's it's not unlike anything other ever seen hard to argue with and and unlike anything we will see for a while there's going to be guys who are going to pop in who are going to compete with him but i don't think we're going to see the same organizational structure and quarterback combination for quite a while so just enjoy it while we can i don't know what happens next year but again like the depth of experience chasing a repeat let alone a three pete it's going to be something fun to watch next year and they're second in odds to win the super bowl behind san francisco It's plus 500.

Yeah. Right now, Chiefs plus $750 next year. So 49ers still have that one more guaranteed season of a party rookie deal, so they should still be stacked. Yeah, they're going to be stacked and the whole thing, but if we've learned anything this year, it's like that guy is the differentiator. No doubt.

And, you know, I'm sure the Bears, and I mentioned this last time in my breakdown, and I don't think this is necessarily the truth because you've heard what I've said about finding another patch of our homes. I don't think it's as easy as people try to make it sound. But they're watching this game and saying, oh yeah we need a guy like that like and maybe if we think caliph's that guy like we you know because nothing proves it more than that that niners team how good they are i mean like

roster spot for roster spot they're better than the chiefs no doubt chiefs have the qb they got the coaches and they got the juice they know how to win these spots so all right neat what's your viral moment of the week so i had a viral moment playing down out, but throwing a little audible. My viral moment of the week is going to Jason Kelsey. There is a video of Travis and Taylor kissing what it looks like to be at the win, and they're watching Marshmallow DJ at the club. And then the video, it goes from panning from Taylor and Travis kissing,

and they pan over to Jason, and he's next to Marshmallow. and he has on like a Ray Mysterious. Oh, I saw that. I didn't even believe it was him. Wrestling mask. And he is just partying. He is partying his ass off. I did not know that was him.

And I think that's dope because it's cool that to see your brother like celebrating like for you just as hard as you are for winning. And I think that's that's a dope situation. They've been that way. You know, their whole careers. They've supported each other. and I can remember when Travis would show up to Eagles games in the middle of the season. Like fly across the country to see his brother play when he could.

Like that's, I mean, I feel like that's how it should be, you know? And so I know, like, hey, people probably, there's a lot of people that hate Travis because of the Taylor Swift thing, you know, like, if that's why you hate Travis. Grow up. Yeah, grow up. But if you're mad at him for last night and you look at him bumping Andy Reid and that sort of thing, like I think the Kelsey's are good people, man. Like, they really are.

Like, I'm not blowing smoke. I wouldn't have to take time to be like, hey, Travis is a good guy. He is a good dude. And Jason's just salt to the earth, man. So it's so fun to see them out. And what's really cool for me is that, like, all these guys are your friends. And I've met Jason a few times. But anytime we see him, the fact that, like, whenever he sees me, he lights up.

And he's like, facts, what's up? Like, that makes me feel really good. And definitely a good dude. But happy to see him partying and living it up. Like because what better feeling to be like your brother's just new back-to-back Super Bowl champs. Obviously you want obviously. Yeah, obviously that's the better feeling you. Yeah, no, that's the only thing.

That's the only difference for sure, for sure. But that has to be like close up there. Like I still get to enjoy this with my brother. And obviously if I'm not going to win like it's cool that like my brother won it again. Yeah, it's a real thing, man. All right. Well, I don't know what the future holds for us. when's the next show

Wednesday we're going to have a bunch of content coming out from radio row that we have recorded maybe a few additional thoughts if we have some and then come back Friday for our last three week three show per week episode and then next week we're back to our normal schedule of Tuesday and Thursday thank you Dr. Matt and I would also love to hear about Little Caesars

before we yeah let's do it a huge thank you to Little Caesars man the official pizza sponsor of the NFL for being around. We got the trucks. We got the pizza. What else do you need? Nothing. For being around us all football season.

We ordered Little Sears before watching the NFL slate each Sunday all season long, and they hooked us up with this sweet merch. As you can see, Dr. Fax had it. Kyle had it. You can get this merch too somewhere, I'm sure. Little Seizers had every kind of pizza we wanted, and we were able to hit up their in-store pizza portal pickup to get our fresh pizza and get it fast.

Little Caesars, the official pizza sponsor of the NFL, knows football fans love a great game and a great deal. Pizza, pizza. Guys, with that, I got to get an SUV, go up to Inside the NFL for the last show of the year. Like Matt said, we've got three shows this week. Next week, we'll go to a two-show structure, too high shell, keep everything in front of us.

Oh, yeah, quick shout out to Justin Pugh for coming through. Oh, yeah. I'm sure you guys DM him because I'm talking to him, gave him my address. He wants a love sack. Should have a couch, a love sack, couch coming? Yeah, we bless Justin Pugh with a love sack. And then he's coming over to us during media,

and he's trying to bless us with more love sacs. So, you know, I love the love. If you give love, you get it back. Love is love. Love is love. Huge thank you to Toyota, the win, and Little Caesars for making our trip to Vegas possible. And thank you to the fans.

You know, we don't get a lot of chances for us to, like, really talking to the camera and thank you all. But I know we did it at the end. of the season. The season's actually over now. You guys, it is such a grind. Getting all this work done. I mean, it's just a podcast and we're not out like fucking working on an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico. But it's fucking, it's hard. And it's hard because we care what you think. Like, I can't do this job if I didn't care what you all thought, even though sometimes I might disagree with you all in the whole thing. And we mix it up in the comments. But you guys have

really been the engine that's, that's kept us going. And this, we could really see a lot of progress. I mean, I'm telling you, the Toyota thing was huge for us. And, you know, getting to do that show in front of that truck, it was more than just money in our pockets. I mean, just the guests we're able to get walking up to people, like I said, that say, hey, we love the show, you know, we listen to the show. If it's not for you guys, these people don't get to see us, and I'm not doing this job every day. So thank you.

I care what you think. Continue to feel like you're a part of this community. if you're a local that started in the beginning or you just joined on. We want to run this thing for decades. We want me and Dr. Fax, Old and Gray, talking about football, we can't do without y'all. So thank you very much. And I hope you had a great season enjoying football

and that your team plays great next year. I hope you have a lot of hope because that's what this time period's all about. We will be back Wednesday and beyond. Y'all take care.
