You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. Guys, it's a magical time of year again. No. No. No. No. It's the time where everyone goes on their spotifying they've figured out what they've been listening to way too much of this season, which by the way,

thank you to all of our listeners that listen to us so much and have us high on the podcast list and all of that. We love you all. And it's so great that you listen so much, but also. That didn't sound enthusiastic. What do you think? I tried to clap and woo.

I got nothing. I know, I'm like gratitude. You sound like you've been wearing a costume all day and are again. Thank you, fans. Thank you, fans. Thank you, fans. Stop it up for the fans.

Yeah. Yeah. Woo. Overwhelmingly loyal, unusual, unseen in this marketplace, people who listen that long to any one thing in a crowded entertainment field. Well, that's because you game the system by putting hours upon hours of content

and dividing it up in parts. In fact, your whole empire is built on lies. That is right. We have fooled everyone into giving us money based on the fact that you actually sit down, put in the work. No, cutting up a podcast is the reason everybody gives us money, because we cut it down.

How dare you put out so many parts of hours that you do? That's right. But Billy, you were saying. Well, I was just expressing my gratitude towards all of the fans and the listeners and saying how sincerely happy I am that everybody listens to us so much. However, you don't need to tell us like every song that you've listened. No, no, not the podcast. No, no, guys, you're no. No, guys, you're misunderstood. That you need to tell us. Tell us, I love listening. I love, I love, I'm beaming right now with joy and excitement

that people tell us so much and they tag us and all that, but like, I don't need to know every song that you listen to this year. I don't need to listen to how many minutes a year you listen to Bad Bunny. Tony was telling me that he listened to Bad Bunny for I believe it was 70 hours this year, which seems like a lot.

And he said, no, that seems about right. That's right, that's wrong. Juju, why did you just move away physically from Billy? I need you near the microphone. I don't not need myself near that take. And I love the share with me. I love the fans, too. You listen to Bad Bonnie, if you listen to Taylor Swift,

send it to me at JujuGadi at whatever, no subscribers, no fees for less than a couple a couple of coffee a month. Zero. Juju, how many things around here do you want to separate yourself from because? I wish a lot more. Especially look, my inbox right now is full of Caucasian people calling me the N word while accusing you of being racist.

I'm like, wait a minute, damn, this, I don't add up. So I want to separate myself from a lot, but I'm a team player and I love all of you equally. So I'm gonna take the brunch with you guys. Thank you for that, Juju. But Billy is just telling the audience, stop sharing your musical tastes with me. I don't care.

It's not the fans, it's everyone. I don't care what anyone's listening to. You want me to tell you mine? I actually would like to hear that. Now that you mentioned it. We should all go around the fans. It's everyone. I don't care what anyone. You want me to tell you mine? I actually would like to hear that now that you mentioned it. We should all go around the room. Yeah, let's do that. Mine are exactly what anybody who looks at me would think that I listen to Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift, Stevie Nicks, and Boy Genius. So I'm exactly what you all thought I was. Thank you so much. I'm exactly what you all thought I was. Thank you so much. I Been listening and I don't know how many people out here do this But I've been listening to too many Christmas song. Well, no, no, Dan

It's not what you think you've been listening to it's what Spotify tells you you've been listening to you're playing this game wrong You don't know it works. I'm sorry for being so ignorant here about Spotify telling me what I'm listening to, but I'm telling you what it is that I listen to. No, you don't know what you listen to. You don't get it. How do you feel about the Kelsey brothers Spirit of Philadelphia, have you listened to that one? I have not, but it's absolutely incredible.

It's electric. I heard it climbed very high because Tiktok, Swifties and Tiktok made the Kelsey's on top of everything else successful. It's singing bad carols. I like to think it's successful because of its own artistry and beauty, but sure. It has been a marketing, they have been monsters at being able to sell a center and a tight end as the future of football.

I have not seen a whole lot of those positions be able to become what those guys have become. I'm not gonna say overnight, but it's basically over the last 12 months. It's a series of things that have happened that feel like the economy around them is carefully orchestrated by a management team that really knows what it's doing when they go from caching in on the Super Bowl to having every commercial opportunity that they

want. I think the only thing that really feels orchestrated is the Taylor Swift stuff and all the network tie-ins and they're in love, Mike. I hope they're gonna get married. It's real. Yeah, they wanna have kids within the next year. I believe it. She's moving in, they saw her equipment outside his house. But what I was trying to say was, I'm not saying that. I'm saying that when people accuse it of being orchestrated, usually hovers around the Taylor Swift stuff,

but when you say you don't necessarily see a tight end or a center break out like this, You never see a center that good. You rarely ever see a tight end that good. They just so happen to be brothers. They played in a Super Bowl against one another. I don't think they're in this because they've been in the leagues for quite a long time. You don't see any of this if they aren't excellent. Like Hall of Famers, arguably the greatest ever at their positions. They could have this if Jason Kelsey was not a

Hall of Fame center. They're very charismatic and funny. I feel like I've become a Kelsey truth or I'm like so into the Cal season. May three. Nick Mangold got a bunch of commercials because he happened to be a center who was good with the Jets, but the centers do not obviously get the kind of play that Jason is getting and Jason wouldn't be getting it at all if it wasn't for everything going on with his brother that he can then also cash in on. Regardless of his excellence, it just wouldn't go to him. It has to have other elements here, but for selling your league, though, you have to understand that all I've seen for years

is the people who are the pitchman in the commercials only get to be the quarterbacks who have been in front of us for 15 years. Like, it's always those guys who are entitled to the future of the league and how it's gonna be sold to us, presented to us, marketed to us beyond today. These two brothers are telling a very simple story of family. The curries did this.

The curries, when you're watching sports and you want to connect with a customer base that buys products, not just the sports product, but the product of, I believe this person and I want this person to give me advice on what I should be buying. The only way for all of those things to come and to play the way they have, because it's not just excellent success, Mike, the people around the economy of this, the business of this had to be listening very closely

when Travis Kelsey told them, I want more fame. Kansas City tried to come down on this. Andy Reid didn't like his dating reality show. They took it from him because they didn't like that image. Think about what Kelsey's image is now versus what it was then. He was very proudly dating women publicly on television in a way that made Andy Reid and that organization

uncomfortable enough to shut it down. And what's mushroom clouded since then is exponentially more fame, more distraction, which those coaches hate. And now report that they're going to spend the next six weeks together if she comes off of tour. And it's the real test of the relationship because I don't know. Man, Travis Kelsey is busier than Taylor. You've seen, she's not making as many commercials as he is. Every time I turn on my television, Travis Kelsey is grabbed at another commercial, even though I know Taylor Swift is the most famous entertainer in the world. What those two with their teams have created in terms of an economy, everyone in sports should be looking at that

and mesmerized by the amount of money making that you can make with success. If you have the right people guiding you into the places where they're chasing for you the things that you want. In Taylor Swift's defense, she does play three, three and a half hour games in NFL stadiums a week, Travis plays one?

And every game's a road game. I'd venture to say she's more exhausted after what she does. You never answered your top five. I don't know what that whole thing was, but what's your top five, man? I don't think the whole room answered that. And I'm basically avoiding your question. Juju, what is yours? My top song's Halsey.

I have three out of my top five songs are from Sing2. They're all related to my daughter. Yeah, yeah. My daughter screwed up my algorithm too. Yeah, great dance. I don't listen to music at all. Other than the old stuff, so my stuff doesn't even pop up. But I listen to podcasts.

I listen to the, should I say the other podcast I listen to? Yeah, man. So, the Pete and Sebastian show with Pete Manescalco, Sebastian Manescalco and Pete Corrielli. I listened to Dan Soder's new podcast, Ludicating Nolan and My Dog, the Bo Monty Jones, the right time, also the JVP Joe Biden podcast.

You're listening to a lot of podcasts, you're not listening to music, that one surprises me. I also don't listen to this show, that's surprising to a lot of people. Inheritable. Our show wasn't on my top five either. Yeah. I don't think it's true though. Juju listens to the show all the time because he's... Yeah, I have to show it. I have to have to...

You watch it on the stream. You don't have to look at it. You don't have to look at it. And on Max. Oh! Yes, stream on Max. I mean, you can be on the show and not listen to a word. So, guys, it's done that for 17 years. That is true. You're not recorded for our enjoyment.

You are not someone who gives the company the clicks that it needs because you're too busy working on listening to the show in places where we don't get credit for your listening. Yes, sir. YouTube gets my numbers. I can clip from there a lot of times, a stream yard, the Asana app.

You know what I mean? I don't give my listens to Apple. I should, though, start in 2024, I proclaim that I'm going to be one of the listeners for the Dan Nebertar show with Stu Gats. Or else. Yeah, Apple recently changed its algorithm to combat Dan Nebertar

from gaming the system, even though it's still perennially a top three podcast, but that doesn't get in the way of anybody's arguing against it. But I make it a point, you know, I haven't listened to my own show and I love the sound of my own voice. So I go there every once every two weeks to make sure that my subscription doesn't lapse and I sincerely hope that people out there listening are subscribed to us and do the same thing every two weeks.

Even if we don't fit your schedule, just go back and listen to us so we can continue to build our empire on top of lies. I got mad at Apple because just this week out of nowhere, they tell me that I'm being charged 19 something a month instead of 16 something a month. Out of nowhere, no warning. I mean, I guess it's warning that this is about to happen, but I don't even know what I was paying the $16 a month for. Yeah, they're good about that.

You gotta go to your settings and there's like a subscriptions tab. I know how to find it. You sure? Yeah. It's an upset. You wanna, you wanna, I know how the- I know you can't pull up your Spotify wrapped. Yeah, I know how to find-. You sure? Yeah. Man, it's an upset. You wanna, you wanna, I know how the- I know you can't pull up your Spotify wrapped.

Yeah, I know how to find- That's not adding up. I know how to find where my money is. Not my, not sitting next to you. Not several hours a day. The devices that are chronicling where it is that I'm listening. This doesn't happen to you guys though, where you're getting a bunch of mystery charges that you don't know.

I had to get down to the bottom of it. I'm like, I didn't have the cloud set up there, but my dad, I once gave him an admin because my dad doesn't want to pay for subscriptions, and he just started buying cloud storage for himself. And now he venmos me $199 every year. And now he venmos me 199 every year.
