Fuentes is with us today.
It is the day after the Super Bowl.
Happy Super Bowl, everyone, I guess.
Not happy Super Bowl.
It's kind of a bad Super Bowl, if I'm going to be perfectly honest with you.
Bit of a drag.
Not really competitive at any point in time.
It's a fitting end to you know a season. I guess not at all actually was terrible
No, yeah, I would say it's kind of the opposite. It was actually a pretty good season
And then all of a sudden we got that clunker to end it yeah
Stu gots will be joining us later today on the TV side, not on the audio side, he is in transit
because that's what we do the day after the Super Bowl.
But there's plenty of things to talk about.
There was a game, there were commercials,
there was some Jets news over the weekend
that I'm eager to see what Mikey thinks about
as he is dressed in full Jets gear from head to toe.
I suspect to mourn the season to celebrate the season
I don't know why you're dressed in all Jets clothes today because because we're all undefeated today
Yeah, I can go back to wearing this because I'm in first place just like you season starts today. Yeah
I'm in my cheese starts today
Didn't you get all the tweets from all the teams that didn't make the Super Bowl that said season starts today?
I don't every team sent one out. I don't want to hear from all those teams. I don't the Super Bowl that said, season starts today. I think every team sent one out.
I don't wanna hear from all of those teams.
I don't wanna hear from any of those teams.
I'm in my Chiefs hat because,
you know, when you're part of Chiefs Kingdom,
you ride the highs and the lows,
and we've had a lot of highs
as members here of Chiefs Kingdom, so,
you know, day after you get blown out of the Super Bowl,
I'm gonna own it.
You're still thankful for the journey.
Exactly right.
We've had, oh God, what a number of years we've had
going back and forth.
Don't let the people tell you
that this is the end of the dynasty.
I will not accept that.
All right, I'll ask you this.
What would make the end of the dynasty?
If Travis Kelce comes out today and says, I retire,
end of the dynasty?
No, no, no, not the end of the dynasty. Andy Reid says, I retire. Well, I retire end of the dynasty no no no not the end he reads says I retire well
First of all season starts today. Just as we've already discussed brand new season undefeated. Just like you are also
Xavier worthy have a game
Xavier worthy I
Took Xavier worthy in our weekly fantasy contest presented by smirnoff
I'm not even gonna tell you the URL because that's done that ended yesterday
So you don't need to go and you don't even really need a recap of this presented by smirnoff the world's number one vodka
Please drink responsibly
But I'm gonna give it to you for free because I know that you guys really are interested and want to hear about our fantasy
Situations so like Super Bowl is a different one. You have the captain that's points and a half,
and then you have five different utility slots,
basically, where you can take anyone else on the field.
Oh, Xavier Worthy came in clutch.
I finished in like 46th place or something like that,
so right out of the money,
but what a pickup by Xavier Worthy.
Saquon Barkley, dud of a game.
Guy scores a touchdown every single game
except the Super Bowl, which in my opinion,
does he deserve a ring?
I don't know.
Some people are wondering, some people are wondering,
doesn't show up in the biggest game,
kind of has his team carry him?
Really, the MVP should have been the kicker
if we're gonna be perfectly honest with you.
Guy puts up basically half of their points
for the entire
Game and Jalen hurts was pretty good, too
Jalen hurts was alright. I mean I thought I
Thought giving him the MVP was a bit of a stretch
I mean if you really wanted to give somebody the MVP how about the front four of the
Of the Eagles and I know you know that's yeah four guys, but like that's who wrecked the game
That's that's the the Eagles didn't blitz once going into the third quarter and yet
My homes was pressured on every play the Eagles defensive line Josh
Is it Josh sweater Montes? Well, I always forget which one it is. Yeah
He had two and a half sacks Josh sweat cause the interception. Yeah, like
That should have been your MVP. But once Jalen hurts through a meaningless touchdown. You're like a quarterbacks gonna get it
Yeah, I mean Josh sweat winning the MVP kind of would have been a little bit tricky Jalen hurts had two passing touchdowns
He had his rushing touchdown via the tush push Patrick Mahomes finishing the game with
With more passing yards than Jaylen Hurt is surprising.
Well, it's not because they were in desperation mode,
right, where he just kind of starts heaving passes
and 50 yard touchdowns.
But he had like 30 passing yards,
I think, headed into the fourth quarter.
That's not an actual stat, but that basically was a stat.
It was 24 in the third quarter, I know that.
Yeah.
It was 24 midway through the third quarter.
So great quarter and a half for Patrick Mahomes,
but oof, rough game for him.
Rough game for him.
Washed, some people were saying,
did somebody ask that?
Some people.
25 rushing yards.
Travis Kelce, nowhere to be seen
for the first, what, three quarters?
And then all of a sudden he caught a few,
oh, they're not really covering me
because they're playing deep.
Yeah.
And now it's like, oh I caught my yards.
No, you didn't, you were terrible.
I mean, he only had 39 yards.
He had six targets, he dropped two early on.
The Eagles defense, as good as advertised.
The Chiefs couldn't do absolutely anything
and the entire season we saw the Chiefs
just kind of find a way week after week after week
and just kept believing, you know what, maybe they'll find a way.
And to a lot of people's credit last week, I think Chris Sims was one of them, was saying,
you know what, I could see this being a two score game.
Like I could see them winning by two touchdowns even easily if they win.
And that ended up being what happened because don't let the 40 to 22 score trick you.
This was not a close game at any point in time.
And we were just kind of, at the end,
letting the Chiefs score if they want to
or do whatever they wanted to just to kind of,
let's get to the end of this game
and give the Eagles their trophy already.
Let's get everybody off the field.
Let's get everybody home safe.
Game is over.
We have work tomorrow because the Stu-Gots would say,
it's Super Bowl Sunday, not Bowl Saturday yes can everybody move good
for picket huh getting in there towards the end of the game that's good for good
for me for betting over two and a half players to throw a pass and Kenny picket
getting an absolutely meaningless throw attempt in there just to cash that bet
in for me that is a nice that's a dicey bet by you also thoughts and prayers to everyone who had Saquon Barkley anytime touchdown at France
I'm sorry. This wasn't the game for you 57 yards
also
little tees and peas for the people who had Jalen hurts it over
224 and a half passing yards because he finished with
221 which gosh, how do they always know
like how do they always know when they give you the lines that it's gonna be
that close it's it's honestly incredible I hey man it's just it's Vegas that's how
they tell the air-conditioned the desert yeah uh big day for Cooper DeGene, huh? I thought he might have stolen the MVP.
Really?
Yeah, the pick six. I thought he might have had a chance.
I was waiting for like one sack maybe or something to just be like,
okay, that guy's the MVP, which would have been cool to see a rookie DB win MVP of the Super Bowl.
Well, on his birthday too, I believe. Yeah. It would have been cool to see a rookie DB win MVP at the Super Bowl, but.
Well, on his birthday too, I believe.
Yeah.
So he.
Yeah, everyone.
Saquon got all the attention going in.
Oh, it's my birthday, Saquon's gonna have a big day.
No, no, no, no.
Cooper DeGene, that's whose birthday it was.
Honestly, and this might sound crazy,
the Cooper DeGene interception return for the touchdown
was when that game ended,
and it was like
Midway through the second, but I think it made it a 17 point game at the time
You're like, okay, this is over like they're not coming back from this game whatsoever
Yeah, it was for me. It was like up till then it was like, okay
Here's where my home's magic has to come in
Yeah, and then when he threw the other interception to give them the ball in the five
I was like, oh, okay. This is this is just gonna get out of hand now. Got it. Now. We're just now
We're just looking to finish off the Super Bowl snacks
Finish your drinks and cash a bet where we can that's what we're that's what we're aiming for
What was what was your viewing experience? Like you have a lot of people come over. Did you go to someone else's house?
How was your Super Bowl day? So they they all expect and by they all I mean like my my in-laws
They all expect me to sort of run this thing because of you know yeah
I sports who I am and all that stuff sports so everybody comes over so we had
Probably 15 people a lot of kids
Everybody left before halftime.
Except for like my friend who was there to watch the game.
Okay, they just decided we're done with this
or would they normally leave at halftime?
We left before halftime also
but it was because it was bedtime.
Normally we leave at halftime or after halftime,
put the girls to bed.
My daughter, might be surprising to some of you,
not a Kendrick Lamar fan.
So we said, you know what, we can probably leave early.
My three-year-old daughter doesn't know
who Kendrick Lamar is.
We don't really have to see the halftime show
for her this year.
We can leave a little bit early, put her to sleep.
I can watch the rest of the game, the halftime show at home.
So that's what we elected to do yesterday. Can you call it a Super Bowl party when people, the halftime show at home. So that's what we elected to do yesterday.
Can you call it a Super Bowl party
when people leave at halftime?
Like if you're by yourself,
if you're hosting a Super Bowl party
and you're by yourself by the third quarter,
can you call it a Super Bowl party
or was it more of a pregame party?
Or did people just come over for dinner?
Where I was at was a party.
There was a bounce house for the children,
which ended up breaking.
Look, we can talk about this.
Let's get into it.
Because let's talk about this just here amongst friends
because the Super Bowl party that I was at
was an experience.
I was over at my cousin's house
and hopefully no one that's,
was at attendance for this is listening
I was over at at my cousin's house. He has you know, two daughters as well
They invite some friends over from school the parents all of that stuff, right?
They rent a tent they put it out in their yard
They rent a tent and then they have one of those like giant inflatable
in their yard, they rent a tent, and then they have one of those giant inflatable screens
that they got from who knows where they got it from,
and then they project the game onto the screen in the yard.
People sit underneath the tent,
and then there's a giant, they had a bounce house that,
they're friends of the people that rented them the tent,
so they threw in the bounce house for free, as I was told.
Here's the thing about the inflatable screen.
Basically, you can only start watching the game
right when kickoff happens because it's too bright.
So you can't project onto the screen until kickoff time.
So leading up to kickoff, it's very tense
because it's like, what are we doing?
Is the national anthem going on? Where are we? I'm looking, it's 6.30, it's very tense because it's like, what are we doing? Is the national anthem going on?
Like where are we?
I'm looking at 6.30, it's still daylight out.
Like why are we not watching the game right now?
Oh, it's because of the sun, we can't see the screen
because it's too bright out.
So like that was one situation,
but sure enough, as soon as kickoff happens,
the sun knows, you know what, it's time for me to go away,
let's watch this game, right?
However, there was probably like 50 people there at least.
There were a ton of people, a ton of kids there.
There was a bounce house there,
kids somehow broke the bounce house,
which I don't feel.
Bouncing with shoes?
Don't bounce with shoes.
No, it was like the protective netting on the outside
somehow broke and kids were sliding out the side,
which is like crazy dangerous,
but what do you now tell the person
that lent you that bounce house for free?
You know what I mean?
Like I do not envy the position that he's in
where he has to now explain to someone,
hey, thank you for that generosity.
This broke.
Fenton put on his headphones.
I think he has lots of thoughts on bounce houses.
It's not on bounce houses.
Maybe that's why they gave it to him.
It's not on bounce houses.
Because it was broken.
It's possible.
It's about projector screens. I don't get why people are obsessed with projector screens the max quality you get is like 720
Yeah, it's not a good viewing experience
And then there was like at my uncle's house there was Wi-Fi issues
And then like I kept stopping and then the TV outside the projector is like a full minute behind the inside behind the inside
Yeah, so I'm like yo, I love you, I'm going inside,
I'm not doing this outside thing anymore.
Like, I don't know what you're trying to do here,
I know it's nice outside, we're trying to watch the game.
Not doing this.
Were there a lot of people outside with you?
Like all the old men were out there.
Like half the people didn't care about the game.
The other half wanted to see Kendrick Lamar,
didn't care about the game.
So it was like me and like some of the kids inside,
like the teenagers, and then the guys
that were watching for gambling.
Yeah.
What is your?
Hold on.
So my wife always buys me almost a good gift.
Almost.
And last year, she bought me a projector
screen and a projector.
And she was like, oh, we'll use it all the time.
Well, here's the problem.
We live in Connecticut.
So you can't watch it at nighttime
Pretty much seven months of the year because it's too damn cold to go outside and watch something and the other
The times of the year that you can watch it. It doesn't get dark till nine o'clock
Well, guess what our kids go to bed at like 830. Yeah, so like we have we have used it not once
it's sitting in a box literally at my feet right now.
And just hearing that you guys even have the option
to watch it, I got a little bit jealous.
When did you get this?
Christmas two years ago.
Oh wow, and it's the last time
you come out of the box in two years, yeah.
Oh no, we took it out once to like be like,
oh look, we could set it up.
And like we set it up in the living room to watch a game like a
Yukon game or something during the national championship and like that's it
Yeah, but like I'm jealous that you guys even have the option to do this whole projector thing because I don't but it's not any good
Like I can watch like games and this stunning 4k HD
Yeah, like the best possible viewing experience,
then I gotta go outside to watch this, hopefully,
1080p on a projection that's probably diagonal
because they don't know how to prop it up.
The sound is absolute ass because the speaker built in
is crap, it's just not a great viewing experience.
Oh my God, we're outside of Florida, who cares?
So now I'm out in the nice weather
getting eaten alive by mosquitoes watching this game.
So I bought myself, my wife wanted to get me
a projector, because I would say I want a projector,
I want a projector, I want a projector.
But I wanted a projector for a different reason,
and it was for just regular season football,
because I'm what I like to call a normal person,
and I am not allowed to have multiple TVs just set up
on the wall in the front of the house.
Like I don't have like, yes, you have two TVs
stacked one on top of the other,
but you have it in a room isolated,
not like where you come in on the house, right?
So like my wife is like,
no, we're not gonna have multiple TVs,
which is very understandable and very normal.
So for the longest time I was like,
you know what, I'm gonna get a projector
and I'm just gonna project onto the wall another thing
and then I could just put it away when it's time.
During football season I could have Red Zone on one
and then like, you know, the Dolphins game,
the main game on the other, right?
So eventually I bought myself a projector
for like 20 bucks on Amazon,
which she was like,
oh, I was gonna get you a projector this year.
It's like, listen, we've been having this debate
for two years now.
I know that you weren't going to.
And you would have paid way too much for one.
This is just a indulgence that I have
for a couple of hours, a couple of weeks a year.
We didn't need to go crazy
and break the bank on a projector.
So I used to project onto the wall next to the TV,
the other game, right?
To Mike Fuentes' point, there's basically like
of the entire screen, maybe like three inches
that are actually in focus.
Like it's in, you can't actually say, it's like,
do I want the players to be in focus
or do I want the bottom bar in the graphics
with all the information to be in focus?
Because they're not both going to be in focus. one of them can be in focus here granted now difference
between the $20 projector that you bought yeah a good one I was gonna say
different I was gonna say now granted this is a projector that again caused
like 20 25 dollars and I put on a tripod it's not like permanently mounted so
like I have to do all of the different tricks where I like rotate the angles and all
of that but
Projector life not for me in general speaking of graphics people hated the scorebook hated the score
I like I really liked it. I
Liked it. I liked it how simple it was and like you can see through it
Yeah, but such a downgrade from other storebugs
They've had I like I like that you could see through it
My only gripe and it's probably crazy is I thought it was too big
You know like if you're gonna go like minimalist on it make it a little bit smaller so that I can actually see through because I guys
Basically looking around billboards to watch the game on the thing. Like the team names were too big and then sometimes
like where's down in distance, like where's the play clock?
Like it was a little confusing.
I kinda like that they went for something there though.
I don't, what I did like about it was Fox updates
the stats as it goes.
Not all the networks do that which always irritates me.
Watching a game and you'd be like, oh that was a big pass that I hit the over there. I don't know, which always irritates me. Watching a game, you'd be like,
oh, that was a big pass that I hit the over there.
I don't know, they're not telling me,
so I gotta open an app on my phone and check the stats.
I do like that they did that,
but in general, I thought it was a big miss.
It looked so simple, I was like,
this is the Super Bowl, guys, go big or don't go.
What'd you want it to look like?
Just the regular one, whatever they had before?
Yeah, just the regular Fox one would've been fine.
Yeah.
I mean, I thought it was fine.
I liked it.
And it also took away from Tom Brady
talking into commercial breaks
and getting cut off in Sentence.
So many people were talking about the graphics
that they weren't talking about Tom Brady,
which I think was a win.
And his watch, his watch was ridiculous.
Apparently worth $800,000.
I cannot imagine going into a store I don't even
I assume a store right and saying I'll take that one in like eight hundred
thousand dollars like okay here's the card like how does that work on at this
point the store comes to him well I don't come to the house and he picks the
one he wants I guess the idea is so foreign to me because like if I go and I spend like I don't know a couple hundred dollars
Sometimes like the card will just say like decline like this is you know
Suspicious activity like so the idea like eight hundred thousand dollars imagine
You're him and then the bank has to call you or text you like three times like send why for yes
If this was you trying to make this purchase and Tom Brady's like hold hold on
I swear. I'm good for it. I have the money. I just need to just need to text back my bank. Just a moment here
You know the watch guy are you Billy? I imagine like that if you made Tom Brady money watches wouldn't be your thing
I don't know what my thing would be if I made money. I hope to one way does I think you're a watch
You're it out. I think what this is wearing an eight hundred thousand dollar watch be at Tom Brady morning
Maybe yeah. Yeah, I figured when we come back
Watch guys, we're gonna get into the Jets. We're gonna get into commercials and we're gonna have some winners and losers
next
Yeah, sure thing Next. and paid me on the spot. It was so convenient. Just like that. Yeah. No hassle.

It was a nice vent.
Like I'm still laughing.
Well, it's about things that I probably shouldn't be talking about on air anyways.
Just a real quick thing.
There was a couple at this party that announced they were having a baby.
Lovely. Look at me, Louis. Very happy for you. Just a real quick thing. There was a couple at this party that announced they were having a baby
Lovely look at me. Louis very happy for you
It's a Super Bowl. Okay, like again very very happy for this couple
It was kind of a family party and they weren't in my family, but like that's that's another thing But like very happy for you guys
I don't know why we did it in in the middle of the game also like is
Is a little bit odd to me like
second and ten
Hey guys, guess what? Yeah, there's just like a cheer erupted and then we found out what was going on again
Very happy for the couple, but it seemed like I don't it's
Timing for me seemed a little a little suspect. Hey, you want to play a game of winners and losers presented by
smearing off the world's number one vodka
Always, please drink responsibly I wanna play a game of Winners and Losers presented by Smearing Off the World's Number Wood Vodka. Always.
Please drink responsibly.
I also, Mikey, have, and I know this is your thing,
so I don't wanna step on your toes here at all,
but I wanna play a game, a quick one round
of more Mike Lee with you.
Oh yes.
If we can.
I miss more Mike Lee.
It's such an off season thing.
A little bit later.
But we gotta bring that back this off season.
Well it's good then.
We can do it now to kind of, you know.
Dip or toe in.
Exactly, give people a little appetite for.
Appetizer.
For more Mike Lee.
Yeah, tease a little bit.
Okay, winners and losers presented by Smirnoff.
Do you guys have any winners or losers
that you wanna get to today or am I flying so fast?
I have a loser. I have a loser.
I have a loser.
You have a loser?
Oh, okay, the music started.
All right, you wanna go first?
You can give us a loser first.
Okay, I'll give you a loser first.
All right.
Myself and everyone of my age and skin color.
Oh.
The Super Bowl halftime show was not for us.
It was not for me. It was not for me.
It's okay.
Doesn't have to be.
We didn't understand it.
We didn't like it.
And that's okay.
You can stop whining online.
You didn't like it.
I thought it was fine,
but stop whining about it.
Wasn't for you.
Wasn't for you.
Okay.
So that was the loser.
So you were the loser. I was the loser. So you were the loser.
I was the loser.
All right.
I'm gonna go with a winner in AJ Brown.
AJ Brown, a couple weeks ago,
was seen on the sideline reading a book
and we had people on the company here, David Sampson,
said he would have cut AJ Brown the next day.
And AJ Brown then, during the Super Bowl,
had a moment with Nick Sirianni
where he was kinda getting a little lippy
and they were getting a little bit frustrated.
He said, oh wow, the tensions are carrying over.
I hope this team doesn't unravel.
No, they did not, because the next drive
AJ Brown scored a touchdown.
So AJ Brown, not the best behavior all the time.
Super Bowl champion, big winner, AJ Brown.
I got another loser.
Okay.
The refs are making the Chiefs win narrative
because there were bad calls all over on both sides.
They were missed calls.
Now, originally, not gonna lie,
the first bad call was AJ Brown's
offensive pass interference on that fourth down.
And I was like, ooh, that was a bad call.
And I was sitting there, cause I'm a big,
the refs aren't doing anything different.
They're just bad.
They're not just bad for the Chiefs.
And that was a big thorn in my argument.
And then we got a makeup call with a Phantom roughing,
you know, roughing or sportsman-like penalty,
and then Mahomes got his face smushed in on a play,
and they didn't call it, and I'm like,
okay, let's just throw this whole refs thing out.
The Eagles won, chiefs got no help
Everybody's like we're back to normal. The refs are just bad. They're not chiefs bad
So the offensive pass interference was very early in the game and it seemed like a huge moment
Which ended up being completely first drive first drive?
It would have it would have been like a 20 yard pickup and instead ends up resulting in a punt
I it would have been like a 20 yard pickup and instead ends up resulting in a punt.
I gotta be honest with you, in the slow mo, I'm like, yeah, I get why you call it.
And by the way, Mike Pereira was doing the officials
no favors, absolutely no favors.
And I don't wanna be the guy that comes in
and says Mike Pereira, like do better, whatever,
but like Mike Pereira, do a little bit better, okay?
Like you know how hard this job could be.
Don't come up here and tell us when you're watching things
in slow-mo replay, well I would have done this,
I would have done that, I would have done this,
I would have done that.
I have somewhat of a gripe, and I realize
that this is ridiculous, because I'm in media.
I hate, I hate, I hate hearing the coaches
and former executives
and former, you know, whatever, head of officiating,
officials and all this stuff, tell me what they would've
done in this situation.
Buddies, if you guys were so great at those jobs,
you'd still have them.
Because no one is walking away from these positions
willingly to go talk about these positions.
You guys were all bad at your jobs,
and that's why you're on television talking about
the other people who are better at their jobs than you were,
and that's why they still have said jobs,
and they haven't been replaced.
So you coming out and talking crap about them
really rubs me the wrong way.
I'm tired of hearing how easy it was to be a former coach,
and how easy it was to be in management coach and how easy it was to be in management
and how easy it was to be an official when you couldn't hang. And that's why you're on television
talking about the people that could. Just a little mini rant. Here's a loser in Winners and Losers.
We usually get that in the break. I'm very excited we got one on the on the show. Here's a winner and
loser presented by Svirnoff and it is the exact same thing that you just said
but for a different reason.
Here are the losers, us, for saying that the officials
were cheating on behalf of the Chiefs
and they overcorrected and did not cheat
on behalf of the Chiefs to the point
that the game was not interesting.
I could have used a lot of cheating yesterday
on behalf of the officials just to keep things
close and tight and honestly interesting for three quarters because boy was that game boring.
Like a long boring game. We've gone over it. So happy for the Eagles and the wonderful people
of Philadelphia. I can't think of a fan base that deserves this championship more than the Philly
fans. Man, do they struggle and man, are they gracious winners.
I'm so happy for them.
However, I could have really used
some cheating by the officials yesterday
just to keep things tight and interesting.
Yeah.
And by the way, to have them run the ball at all
because I had Kareem Hunt in fantasy also
and nine yards, buddy, ain't gonna do it.
That's why I finished in 70th place.
They only ran the ball seven times,
I think, the Chiefs in total.
They ran it 11 times, but four of them
were by Patrick Mahomes.
Don't count the Patrick Mahomes.
Yeah.
Scrabbling for his life.
Yeah, four of them were by Patrick Mahomes.
Yeah.
Cheating, could have used more of it yesterday
in the Super Bowl.
Do you have any winners or losers?
Yeah, would have been a more interesting game.
Any winners and losers for you?
No?
Anybody who bet anything having to do with Saquon Barkley.
I missed two huge parlayes because he only had 58 yards.
Unless you bet the under.
Yeah, if you bet the under you were in.
Unless you bet the under.
110, oh you got it?
Yeah, 110 yards, I should have known better.
Crazy bear.
Crazy bear.
The bear who joined us early in the week said,
wait till the end and grab some unders,
especially the ones that everybody is pounding
on the over early.
I was like, everybody's on Saquon.
At one point I could have got it at under 116 yards.
116 yards is ridiculous.
Now Saquon had been doing that, but at the same time,
like the number was, oh, it's gonna get 95, 100.
When the over under's at 116, give me that all day.
I took the under.
Yeah, you know who was a winner this weekend?
Mike Fantez was a winner,
cause he listened to the bear.
He did listen to the bear.
He did listen to the bear.
Just selectively.
Mm-hmm, well that's true too.
He chose when, but the time that he chose,
great time for him to choose to listen to the bear.
Great time for him to listen to the bear.
You wanna play a quick game of more Mikely,
unless you have any more winners and losers
presented by Smirnoff.
The world's number one vodka, please drink responsibly.
Any more winners and losers going once, going twice.
Okay, sold.
We're gonna move on to the next thing, more Mikely.
All right, so Super Bowl, big thing in the Super Bowl
are the commercials.
I don't know how you guys felt
about the commercials this year.
Again, I have somewhat discussed the commercials. I don't know how you guys felt about the commercials this year.
Again, I have somewhat discussed the setup that I had with you guys.
I was outside.
There were a lot of people.
Hard to watch the commercials on the projection screen, also when a lot of people are talking.
Before we get into the commercials, before we get into more, Mike Lee, little mini rant
on commercials.
A commercial doesn't need a trailer. A commercial doesn't need commercials leading up
to the commercial that you're gonna air in the Super Bowl.
That's part of it.
They've become so big that they're not surprising anymore.
Now you can watch them on social media and stuff
the days before the Super Bowl.
Like, let me just see it in its natural environment,
and then you can give me all the behind the scenes
and all that.
But leading up to it's like, oh, wait till February 9th,
you're gonna see a Jeep commercial like you've never seen.
Yeah.
It's like, why can't I just enjoy the commercial?
That's the point.
I'm with you on that, and I feel like,
and I don't know this, but I feel like the companies
and the ad agencies and all that are spending
so much on these commercials that they're like,
we can't just run for 30 seconds
and be out $8 million.
You know what I mean?
That's your problem, not mine.
Yeah, I'm with you because I'd like to be surprised,
and there really is never a surprise anymore
in the commercials, just because you already see them beforehand. So anyways, more Mikely
and this is Super Bowl commercial based. Did you guys have a favorite commercial? Just
out of curiosity. I did not. I have maybe like two that I can even remember happening.
I remember that Pringles had one where for some reason they were like
Blowing into it and then the mustaches are flying off people's faces
I remember that one and I was like, oh Adam Brody
He's still doing stuff good for him. Yeah good for him seal
George Costanza once was good second time. It was just awkward. I didn't even see that one.
Me neither.
The first time was mayo, second time was mustard.
We had the when Harry met Sally, mayo one,
that made a comeback.
Well it had Cindy Sweeney in it,
which is right after a Glenn Powell commercial,
which the two of them, like.
Seal being a seal, guys.
Enough already, the two of them.
That weirded me out, man, that was.
Seal as a seal was very weird
Yeah, that was hard to watch had my girl in it
Who was your girl Becky G Becky G in the commercial for like a quarter of a second on the boat there?
Yeah, I did see Becky G in a commercial
I had no idea what it was for and now that you're mentioning it
I do remember a seal but I didn't realize that seal was a seal because again
I was very far away from the screen as a whole thing I will say
this game too so it was probably still light out real quick winners and losers
you don't have to play music real quick winners and losers and this is the
dangerous game that happens with projections also winners all of us for a
kid not tripping on the cable and unplugging the projector because it's
happened every single year a kid trips on the cable unplugs the projector unplugs the sound there single year. A kid trips on the cable,
unplugs the projector,
unplugs the sound,
there's a scramble,
no one knows how to fix it.
You have to do a whole thing.
People are shaking things.
Now you're just sitting outside in the dark.
Didn't happen yesterday,
so good job on all the children.
Was there a designated cable, Dad?
I feel like without even speaking,
somebody sits by the cable
and anytime a kid starts a pro,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, stay right whoa whoa stay right there go around there around there wasn't but I
think what happened is is the bounce house placement made it so that the kids
weren't in the area with the cables which is a good job by everyone that set
up okay so here is a round of Super Bowl commercial more Mike Lee okay
Funtas you want to play more Mike Lee also?
Okay.
And this is, I realize now, not fun at all.
But at the time I thought it was fun and I thought I was going to have
more of these because it was early on
and it was a commercial. Okay.
Which is more Mike Lee?
And if you have more Mike Lees that you want to send us
you can, you know, tag
all of us, you know, at Billy Gill, Mike A Sports,
Mike Funtis. I need them for the season. I write them down all season. Yeah, okay. So if you us, you can tag all of us, at Billy Gill, Mike A Sports, Mike Fletchers. I need him for the season, I write him down all seasons.
So if you want, you have any ideas,
just tweet at all of us, hashtag moremikely.
Which is moremikely, Drew Barrymore going on an MSC cruise
or Eugene Levy eating at Little Caesars?
Moremikely, because those were back to back commercials
and when I saw them, when I saw Drew Barrymore,
I was like, Drew Barrymore is never gonna be on a cruise ship
with the common folk.
I am never gonna walk around on a cruise
and see Drew Barrymore on an MSC cruise.
And I was like, this is ridiculous.
And then the next commercial comes on
and Eugene Levy is selling me Little Caesars and and I said that is a man who does not even know what Little Caesar's is while he's trying
to sell me Little Caesar's.
I'm gonna go with Eugene Levy eating Little Caesar's is no I'm gonna go Drew Barrymore
being on the cruise is more Mike Lee than Eugene Levy eating Little Caesar's.
I'm with Mikey because she has enough money
that she can buy the best sweet and the best everything
and she'll be there.
There's no way Eugene Levy is buying Little Caesar's pizza.
Okay, now here's my thinking.
I think that you guys are right in terms of more Mike Lee
that Drew Barrymore could end up on a cruise.
Now this is why I think that she could end up on a cruise
because cruises also have like celebrity quote unquote like godmothers or godfathers where they're like the celebrity that's tied to the ship and they go with like the
Christening of the ship and all of that stuff
So like I could see her being in one of those scenarios
I could see I think she has children where she like takes the kids on the cruise. You won't see her
You're not gonna hang out with you know, Drew Barrymore
She's not gonna be at like the whatever the challenge is,
like the last night where everybody's like running around
like oh I need a pair of two left sandals,
and she's like running up and down trying to get you those.
She's not gonna be there.
Eugene Levy, the idea of him and the Little Caesars,
that might be the worst fit of celebrity endorser
and product that I have ever seen.
And part of it is because I just started watching
on a plane Eugene Levy's travel show,
where he's, it's on Apple Plus or Apple.
I gotta be honest with you, confession time.
Circle of trust to your friends.
I don't know the difference between just Apple TV
and Apple Plus.
I think it's the same, I think they just changed the name.
Maybe there's like a three dollar difference
and one of them gives you something that the other one doesn't. I think they just changed the name. Maybe there's like a $3 difference and one of them gives you something
that the other one doesn't.
I have no idea what the difference is
between the Apple and the Apple+.
But his show is on Apple or Apple+,
or one of the Apples, where he's going around
and oh, I'm Eugene Levy, I'm a grump,
I don't like to travel, but now I'm exploring the world
and I love everything.
Look at me, I'm enjoying life at 75 years old.
Exactly right.
Oh, here I am, I'm in the middle of Antarctica.
Wow, I really do enjoy life.
Life is so wonderful.
I really should have done this more when I was younger.
That's the gist of his show.
Now, in watching the show,
he talks about all of these extravagant hotels
that he goes to, $3,000 a night, this and that.
And when you live that lifestyle, respectfully,
to the people of Little Caesars,
you're not ordering hot and ready.
You're not ordering hot and ready pizza.
It's just not things that go hand in hand.
Okay, I have a late, I have a late.
I need to throw a third Mike Lee in there.
Okay, hold on a second.
We'll get to you in a second, Mike Fuentes.
Sorry, I didn't realize you can't see each other.
Yes, Mike Ye, what is your third more Mike Lee?
Harrison Ford driving a Jeep I
Could see it because he like has his weird planes that he crashes so like I could see him
Being a yeah when you have money for planes to crash
Yeah, you don't drive a Jeep really I could see him being a guy that owns like a classic Jeep
I have a question for you guys, and this isn't about well actually point is what we're gonna say and then then I'll ask you
My question because it's gonna kind of go in a different direction. No, I'm just
Expanding on what Mikey said so Harrison Ford's 82 years old. He might be past his driving years, especially because he's rich
Yeah, but I like you said I could see him owning like a vintage Jeep. Yeah, I'll take it around the beach today
Yeah, there you go. But I was gonna say, late winners and losers,
facial hair.
At the mustache commercial,
Eugene Levy's eyebrows had a moment.
Yeah, they flew off his face also, didn't they?
Correct, and landed back on there for the Little Caesars.
Yeah, weird.
Winners and losers.
One guy had a good idea,
sold it to two different companies.
I do like that.
Genius.
I do like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I forgot what I was gonna ask you guys,
so guess we're not gonna get back to it.
I ruined it, sorry.
No, it's fine, it's fine.
What were we talking about?
We were talking about Eugene Levy.
Hmm, it'll come to me.
Hey, when we come back, did the idea that was in my head
come back to me?
Find out.
Find out.
I remember what it was that I forgot about earlier,
which I'm proud of myself because I'm getting to
this age, Mikey, and you're not going to appreciate this because you're older than me.
I'm getting to this age and Fuentes is older than me too, but I'm getting to an age where
I just forget things like forget names, forget things I'm talking about, like almost to the
point that I wonder if I should ask a doctor about it, but we're not there yet.
So I remember what I was going to talk about and it was in the realm of the commercials and of the celebrities that were out and about
Kevin Costner Pete Wentz just hanging out
Seemed like a very odd pair to me like they were I don't know what the reason was if they work for the same
Network if they have the same reps what it was
But like it wasn't just they were sitting together at the game like in regular
Seats seemingly it was they weren't in a booth
They seem to just be in regular seats sitting together enjoying the game talking to each other
I also saw pictures of them on the field together before so like
Pete Wentz and Kevin Costner just had a boys night yesterday
It would seem this that seems like a similar agent type deal
Yeah, the agent brought them together and then they know it.
Like they met through that and now they hang out.
Who do you think needed the other one more
in that situation?
Like who benefited more from the other person's company?
Cause Pete Wentz had a moment, you know,
a couple years ago, we're a couple years.
You're talking about Pete Davidson, not Pete Wentz.
Oh yeah, Pete Davidson, I'm sorry.
Yeah, see what I'm saying?
Pete Wentz, totally different guy.
See what I'm saying about names here?
I'm telling you, see what I'm saying about names?
They're just coming and going.
But this is the rare.
Winners and losers by memory.
This is the rare both sides benefit situation, I feel.
Because Pete Davidson helps Kevin Costner stay relevant
with a younger crowd.
But then Kevin Costner, very hot right now
because of Yellowstone and stuff like that.
So a little bit of a mutual beneficial thing going on.
I would say.
See, I'm gonna go next level on you.
I'm gonna go one level deeper.
Kevin Costner was married for years to the same woman
and then they just recently got divorced.
Kevin Costner's learning how to do boys night again Wow Kevin Costner was an indoor cat for so long
He's learning how to go out now Pete Davidson showing him the ropes
Pete Davidson, I think and I don't know if this is like sacrilegious to say Pete Davidson
I believe was replaced by Marcelo Hernandez in terms of like
was replaced by Marcelo Hernandez in terms of like the guy from SNL.
Like he's still, Marcelo's still like on the come up
and he had his thing, Domingo in the video
and everybody loves him and everybody wants to take
a picture of him.
Oh wow, Fonz is just dismissed that through the glass.
Like just put his hand up.
Waved his hand at you.
And then waved it down.
He wants nothing to do with Marcelo which is, you know, okay.
Okay.
I don't know what's going on there.
I guess not a fan. Marcelo guy. Yeah.
But Marcelo lives in like the Pete Davidson lane, does he not?
Well, Pete Davidson hasn't been on SNL for a while.
So well, that was a mistake. Yeah.
I mean, I'm going to leave. I'm going to be big.
No, you're not. Yeah.
I mean, that's what I'm saying.
Because of that, there's a huge Pete Davidson sized hole in SNL.
Somebody has to fill it. Oh. So it's like, yeah, sure yeah sure Marcelo. I guess he's really funny at being Hispanic good for him
There's a just so you know this Mikey. Do you know who Marcelo Hernandez is or no?
Yeah, okay good even if you don't that was a convincing answer so here's the thing
There's a lot of hate that he gets in this office because he started down here locally.
He was basically Instagram famous.
There's this Instagram account called OnlyAndDay
that just basically is just highlight videos
of all the car fires and all this stuff.
He would go out there and he would interview people
and he'd do skits for the Instagram and stuff like that.
So he was known here locally
before and
You have a bunch of haters in this office because there's no other way to put it
You have a bunch of haters in this office who?
Say very vocally that they are funnier than he is and that they could do what he's doing so
Marcelo gets a lot of hate within this office because everybody thinks that they could have been him and they think that all he is is
Hispanic accents and that's all that he does that is all he does
Well see okay, so there's a lot. There's a giving him the hate. I can't figure it out. There's a lot there
Well, it's not the funny thing is my friend is probably like fourth on the list. He's not even like the biggest Marcelo hater.
Yeah, I mean I'm not, I just think I know guys
that are funnier than him, is that something?
Yeah, see this is just a thing that happens all the time.
Instead of being happy for other people,
local guys, made good that are out there,
you know, doing big things,
and I don't know how we're talking,
or how or why we're talking about Marcelo right now.
But instead of just being happy for the guy,
just a bunch of grumpy people here saying
that they could have been better than him.
Adam Sandler and Paul McCartney.
That one wasn't that surprising of a duo kind of flirting across the booth together, right?
Like they've crossed paths multiple times, I would assume.
No, that one that one didn't surprise me at all.
I feel like Paul McCartney is one of those guys that was like, hey, I know Adam Sandler and Adam Sandler.
Like, holy cow, I know Paul McCartney.
Yeah.
You guys want to go to the Super Bowl together?
Sure, I got a box.
So here is my other question,
and this is primarily for Mike Fuentes
because Mike Ye wasn't there for that,
and you edited it, so you may have been confused
by the situation.
We had Adam Devine on the show last week,
and in the Adam Devine interview Rose who works with us came in and
interrupted the interview to sing to Adam Devine and
Rose is someone who's an editor and she she does camera work for us
And she's normally going around with Lucy during the college season and kind of getting all this stuff for Lucy's road trips
But she was on the Super Bowl this year But she was on the Super Bowl this year,
she was on the Super Bowl this year because Lucy was there
and they were doing something else for a sponsor.
But while she was there in one of the Uber rides,
she decided that she was gonna sing Country Roads,
but she thought that the words to Country Roads
were Baton Rouge.
So she rewrote the song Country Roads
and thought it was just called Baton Rouge,
but also had the word California in it,
had the word Florida in it, and she had her own version of it.
The next day for some reason because that happened she came and she sang that song on
stage to Adam Devine which was Devine, no pun intended.
So she went and she sang that song to Adam Devine.
I thought that would be the end of it.
The rest of the week every time she saw Adam Devine,
because he was there the entire week,
he has a podcast apparently with the other workaholics,
and they were recording it every day,
and then whenever he wasn't recording it,
he was pitching something, and he was on every show.
So he was at Radio Row every single day
for hours and hours every day, putting in work, doing work.
So every time that she would see him,
she's like, hello,, and she would like awkwardly
like reach out to him and talk to him,
and he was very nice, he's like,
oh hey, how's it going, blah, blah, blah, whatever.
And I assume he didn't remember her at first,
but I'm sure by the end he did,
because every single time she saw him,
she would do that to the point where we were leaving
the last day in Anuber, she rolled down the window
of the van, she's like's like hi friend and I was like
Please stop it. He's waiting to get in a new bur. Please stop bothering him
However, this is why I bring it up and this is the question and it's another commercial question
Rocket mortgage
had a commercial
where the whole thing was everybody singing Country Roads.
And I guess it was about home ownership
and feeling like you have a place that's your home,
so then everybody's singing Country Roads, right?
And then they go, and I don't know how many millions
of dollars they paid for it, to then go live
to the Superdome where they're playing Country Roads,
trying to get videos of people singing
to have it almost be an extended commercial, right?
Very heavy-handed, very forced.
No one seemed to really be singing Country Roads
to have like three people.
So like they didn't get the moment that they wanted,
I don't think.
However, there was part of me when this is going on,
and I'm wondering, Fuente, if this happened to you.
There was part of me when this was going on where I sat down and I said and and it's a ridiculous question to ask
but because of the way that we played out I did wonder I
Wonder if Adam Devine just thought about Rose right now
Because the fact that you have this crazy person singing country Rose to a completely different
You know words that aren't for the song.
Baton Rouge, California, makes no sense.
It made absolutely no sense,
but the fact that you have this crazy person.
Did Adam Devine sing those words?
I, no, but I did wonder when it happened.
I go, I wonder if wherever he is, if he's watching this,
like with somewhere, he's like,
you know, someone sang that song to me this week, like in an interview, but was singing about Baton Rouge
It was the weirdest thing and then every time I saw her the rest of the trip
She just kept coming up and like saying hi to me and she thought we were really friends
So I did that was what I was thinking when that went on yesterday during the Super Bowl. I
Did think about Rose for a second, and then I quickly forgot about her.
The timing, well, it may be the same thing
that happened with Adam.
The timing was just honestly incredible.
That was like a prominent feature in an ad,
and I was like, yeah.
Anyway.
That's some inception stuff.
Mikey, your jets are a disaster.
I don't know if we have enough time here,
but your jets are a disaster.
You're not gonna get anyone coming back.
Hey, guess what though?
Good thing for you, new year, fresh start.
New quarterback, new receiver, new coach,
new GM, new everything for you, huh?
What an exciting time to be a Jets fan.
No?
Okay.
All right, guys, this was a fun year.
That's gonna wrap it up for Monday episodes
of God Bless Football. We're going all year long. We're just not gonna be doing the Monday
Fridays until the season begins again.
Fridays, Fridays only.
Fridays only moving forward for the rest of the year, or not the rest of the year, the
rest of the off season. I don't think we have any weeks off, which maybe it'll change. We'll
see because I'm a little bit tired. but we'll see if we have any times off
But we have the combine coming up. We have the draft coming up. I I heard I heard from some people
draft draft show
location and
And it might be like big happy might might be hitting the road a little bit maybe going to
Tennessee national situation There was a funny exchange Might be hitting the road a little bit, maybe going to Tennessee, Nashville situation.
There was a funny exchange with someone, it was one of the sponsors,
the sponsor was like, I heard we might be going to Nashville for the draft.
Which I don't think I'm supposed to be saying, but whatever.
The sponsor was like, I heard we might be going to Nashville for the draft.
And then it's two guys like, what happens if they trade the number one pick buddy, what are we gonna do?
And he's like, then we're in Nashville.
And I was like, exactly, exactly right.
Then we're there. What are we going to do?
Like, we're just there.
Worse places to be. Exactly right.
Worse places to be.
Yeah. And some of them pick in the top five.
Like Green Bay, which is where we were going to be going originally.
Because what the hell are we going to do there?
Anyways, see you guys Friday.
