All right, so it's currently about 1120 in the Central Time Zone when we're recording this, and we're still watching coverage of the Eagles celebration, and there are dudes all dressed as eagles who are climbing what appears to be a garbage truck in Center City, Philadelphia. So shit's getting lit, although it's really a lot calmer. I know we mentioned that in the last pod. All right, there's a lot of people out there. The cops are trying to get them all to go home, but they ain't going to go home.

Birds won the Super Bowl. I know. Look at that. Oh, look, now it's getting more congested. Yeah, but again, it's not Knicks. They're City Hall. Fuck. What a time.

What a time. We showed you a video right by our old house. I know, up in Rock Sparrow. Fuck, man. What a time. Good for them, man. Having a time. Good for them, man. Having a good time. Fuck it, man.

I was just texting with my old boss, Andy. I'm like, I am more like these people than I'm like anybody else. And what did Andy say? He's like, that's why I hired you. Because you're like these fucking people. And then you firebombed it. Well, they also hated. In my mind, they fucking hated me.

I mean, the number of McDougals and Philly people that still tweet and Instagram you, they didn't hate you. Yeah. As usual, you took like seven tweets and were like, oh, they hate me. That's true. Typical Josh. Yeah. That's how it goes.

But what are you going to do? Hey, here's the good news, though. The positive is, and i didn't bet on we can talk about our bets here first of all got a miracle hit deandre you beautiful beautiful man so what happened is we had our my biggest bet of the night was deandre hopkins over 12 and a half receiving yards i had about a grand total of 700 on that my biggest bet of the night was DeAndre 15 plus yards and I had $31 on it. If you listen to this show,

you know for me that is a big bet. It's huge. We're sweating this thing until the end and it's like game's over so we're probably not going to... After that drop at the end of the first half, we were both like, oh yeah, we're done. God, so right near the end of the half, it was only a three possession game at the time so if the the chiefs would have driven down and scored and then got

the ball to start the second half who knows what could happen if he would have caught that he was going to the end zone he at least was going to get close and instead of catching it around the 50 yard line he falls down and doesn't make the catch if he makes that catch that's the 15 yards easily but it doesn't happen so deandre no good eventually he gets one catch in the second half he's got 11 yards 11 yards i needed 13 yards you needed 15 yards late in the game it looks like the chiefs get a touchdown to i think it was hollywood brown but there was an offensive pass interference so it it pushes it back. Thank God there was. Oh, fuck.

And a miracle happens. And DeAndre Hopkins catches like a third down touchdown play for nine yards. I hit that. You hit that. Miracles all over the fucking place. Not only did I hit the 15 yards, but I also played the DeAndre like mega parlay, which was Hopkins over 12 and a half, two catches and a touchdown.

So literally that catch was three legs of a parlay that hit. It was plus 650. Fuck that rules. That's the beauty of gambling. The game itself sucked. There were some things that I thought were going to hit easy and then fell off a cliff. I think I'm up $187.

Good. I was convinced that Dallas Goddard was going to be easy, and early in the first quarter he has a 20-yard catch, and I'm like, fuck, over 49.5 is going to be a slam dunk. Dude has one more catch the rest of the game, so certain things sucked. They did a good job of shutting down Saquon. You knew they'd probably shut him down.

You've got to give credit to Jalen Hurts you're talking about a dude that's taking some massive shit from people Hurts but all he does is goes out and wins games same with Nick Sirianni this fucking dude gets shit on everybody in the world shits on him teams falling apart he's fighting with the fans they're two and two everything's over all this dude's done in his time as the head coach the Eagles has won 70% of his fucking games. And you can think he's a dumbass and think whatever you want about him. Dude has won 70% of his games. He has as many Super Bowls as the next best coach for the Eagles in terms of Super Bowls.

Two coaches have won Super Bowls for the Eagles, Doug Peterson and now Nick Sirianni. So give Sirianni credit, man. Dude's won 70% of his games. He really kind of toned down after that last thing against, I guess, after the Browns game. I actually found myself kind of enjoying listening to him talk after the game. He was kind of chill. I was like, okay, I'm kind of down with this guy. So good for him, man. But yeah, that bet, the DeAndre one was huge that came through that also scored the sixth touchdown of the game I believe that got me an over in the total touchdowns of the game I had some field goal yardage plays I was close to even I think tonight maybe a little bit up but not

much but still hell of a fucking game for the Eagles obviously the game it's like I loved watching the Chiefs get their dicks knocked off. I've been fighting. I haven't really been fighting with Chiefs fans, but Chiefs fans have been coming at me. You never know what you're going to tweet that's going to get people's attention. Hold on.

So that was yesterday. Good for Tank. Actually, Tank's coming to town in a couple weeks for something. I think he's got to do something with his mom's house because his mom died not too long ago, so he's going to be in town. I know I told him that.

Hell, where was I before you showed me this video? Playing commercials. Well, I did that, but then I was going somewhere else with this, and then, shit. Now I'm drawing a blank on this but i'm sure it was something significant something meaningful um oh so fucking around with uh chief's people on the internet so you never know what kind of tweets gonna get like like mileage like sometimes you'll send out a tweet that you think is you're like like you know like you know like it could be a big deal. You know what I'm saying? Like you think like this is fucking hysterical and this, and it becomes one of the bigger things you've

tweeted. It's the same thing that I did a couple weeks ago with a dude from Kansas City that got like a million likes, and it was ridiculous. So yesterday, and I do trust me, I put out things that I'm like, this is brilliant, and the world must acknowledge this, and they don't. And then other things that get 300 comments. So the other day I tweeted, I hate the Chiefs. Everyone outside of Missouri hates the Chiefs. The fans are whiny dopes. I love my Philly friends. I'm a Saints fan, but today I'm yelling, go Birds.

And I posted this picture of you and I that is from the Super Bowl that we went to in 2018 when the Eagles beat the Patriots. And it was brought to my attention by somebody that it's pretty clear that this picture was taken right before the Philly special it didn't even occur to me but the Philly special is about to happen behind us I believe but this thing gets like 300 comments 3500 likes and in my mind all I'm thinking is all right it's gonna get some Philly people who used to listen to me and they're gonna say hey cool Josh thanks for rooting for us it never occurred to me that the people seeing that would just view me as some guy who was just wearing eagle shit just to be a troll or something so all these chiefs people are shitting on me calling me fat and you're a piece

of shit and go fuck yourself and you're a fraud ass fucking fan and blah blah blah i'm like motherfucker i live there you have no idea about my story whatever but like that's the kind of shit that gets mileage. And it was surprising to me that it got the mileage it did. But fuck it. It couldn't have happened to a better group of fucking people than these arrogant, just slap dick, Midwestern hillbilly cucks in Kansas City. Couldn't happen to a better fucking bunch.

And it happened in such a glorious way, watching them just get their dicks knocked off. And it didn't look like it was going to start that way. That initial play, that push-off call, which was total bullshit, it was like, here we go. They're all ready. But the Eagles did something that you have to do. If you're going to beat the Chiefs, and y'all give credit on this, Joe and Philly, our guy Joe, who's been there for 100 years with us, Joe and Philly said this. And initially, over the course of the week, when I said there's no way in hell I would bet on the Eagles, I wasn't going to bet on the Chiefs.

But there was no way I was going to bet on the Eagles because I am a believer that the league is not rigged. The game is not rigged. But I do believe that the Chiefs get every big call in every big spot. And what did you get early in the game today? A bullshit offensive pass interference that was totally bogus. And it took what was going to be at least three points off the board. But earlier in the week when I was seeing some tweets from Joe in Philly and his whole thing was basically the only way they're going to win is if they blow these dudes out. If you blow them out and take the refs out of the game, then you're going to win.

And he's absolutely right. What happened today? You're up 34 nothing at one point in the game. The refs cannot fuck you. The refs cannot binge you over and steal the game from you if you're up by 34 points, and that's what the Eagles did. If that game, and that was my concern, is the game would be close and down the stretch,

there'd be some sort of controversial call, and then boom, it's over, and they're going to rob it from you. They're going to steal it from you they're gonna steal it from you and that didn't happen this time so big credit there that they just beat the shit out of these guys beating the shit out of them was the difference and it took the refs out of the game the chiefs were never in it they never seemed engaged kelsey has these games man where you can just see it in his eyes that he's not fucking engaged and there's something like

i think and really the credit and i'm not gonna give credit to the chiefs i'm gonna give credit to the eagles here i think the eagles early on with the game plan they had just said fuck these dudes and they rattled them hard first drop from kelsey in the first quarter once that happened he was done but the pressure that they put on mahomes was sick the dude was running for his life all night. Was it five sacks that they didn't put? Six? Five or six?

I think it was more than that. And they just destroyed him. They just shook him from the word go. They shook these guys. And they get the credit for that. The game plan defensively was sick. And also, look, if you want to talk about two people to get shit on, and I know we've talked about it already in this particular episode, but if you look at Sirianni and you look at Jalen Hurts,

those are two dudes that get shit on a ton. And Sirianni said something that was interesting post game. He was at the, on the NFL prime time with Chris Berman, which was an interesting thing because he's like idolizing Chris Berman. It was fascinating. He's like, Oh my God, I'm a huge fan. But he says like, just because we were winning games one way doesn't mean that we couldn't win games another way. And what we've seen the last couple of weeks is teams decided to slow down Saquon Barkley and they did it well. But what happened after that, they were able to win the game, throwing the ball. There was that one moment and this was like the kill shot, but it was after they got the ball back at midfield. And i forgot what the score was at the time but like

brady and all these guys were like well we expect them to run the ball here and kill some clock and in my mind i'm thinking the fuck they are this is where you take a shot because you've been slinging all day and of course they throw the the long touchdown to um to davante and it's like shit they're just out here slinging man they're out here balling tonight and look Jay now does uh Sirianni get a statue oh I would assume he will I guess Bud Light's gonna have to give him a statue too now I don't know if you saw this but on the podium after the game they're talking to Sirianni he's like we need to run this back Kellen and he's talking to Kellen Moore you know what if dude if I were Kellen Moore I don't know that I'd take the

fucking Saints job I might just ride this now obviously your stock's never going to be any higher so you take the job right like you're the offensive coordinator for a team that just went out and scored like 40 points against the Chiefs in the Super Bowl and you kick the shit out of them so obviously your stock's never going to be higher obviously you take the job but you know a couple other things like I was they were just showing some shots of the Superdome. My God, I love that stadium. It's my favorite sports venue. I love it's, I believe the tallest dome, but if you look at it, like I'm in St. Louis, you got the shitty dome here, which is a tiny little dome. Relatively speaking, the super dome is a tiny little dome relative to this, or sorry, the Astrodome. But if you look at the super dome, it is this giant structure. And when you walk in

and you walk in a club level, or actually it's a, it's a like plaza level. When you walk in and you walk in at club level, or actually it's at, it's at like Plaza level. When you walk in and you walk to your seats and you just look up, it's the most giant cavernous type of building. And it's so wild, man. And I just love that place. I love Louisiana. I love new Orleans. I love Baton Rouge. Those are my people. And very, they did very well. They handle these things so well. Now tomorrow the hobos will be out on the streets and you know, it'll be back to, you know, shithole status, whatever. But that dome, and I've seen a lot of shit that's happened there. I saw the, the Nolan no call there. Uh, I saw Sunday night football was at the game when I think Kyle Turley ripped off the dude from the jets helmet and and threw it. I was there when Sheldon Brown laid fucking Reggie Bush out in that playoff game.

I was there for that. I was there for the Saints' first playoff when I was there the next year when they played the Rams on Monday Night Football. And, like, I went to a shitload. I saw, like, Drew Brees throw, like, five interceptions against the Bengals there once. Like, I saw LSU win the national championship there. I love that building. I just, I love it. And to see it highlighted so well and to see it featured so well, like it fucking rules.

And if you've never been to the Superdome, you should make it a point to go to the Superdome because it rules and the Eagles fans credit to them. Here's where I knew I got a vibe early on that this was just that this was going to be the Eagles night and if I had the ability to bet on it at the time I probably would have but the moment that I realized like oh shit this is kind of like okay they bring out John Ham to do like a thing for the Chiefs now John Ham is a St. Louis guy which made it kind of odd that he brings him out for Kansas City but a lot of these St. Louis and Kansas City celebrity types have now all glommed onto the Chiefs. So like Paul Rudd and John Hamm and all these people.

And Hamm's credit, he's a big blues guy, big Cardinals guy, but he's also a Chiefs guy, I guess. But we were watching this and you heard nobody. Like, hey, go Chiefs. And it's like, OK, no one's there. Then Bradley Cooper comes out with his kid and does the Eagles chant. and you heard nobody like hey go chiefs and it's like okay no one's there then bradley cooper comes out with his kid and does the eagles chant and like i could feel it because i've been in the dome when shit like when the hoot like let me tell you this there is no greater feeling as a sports fan like where you're engulfed in something when the hood at chant starts in the dome before a game

like the last time we were there we went to see the saints and the Eagles. And when the who dat chant started at, Oh my God, like you can feel it and it's loud and it just takes over your body and it's fucking amazing. And, um, when the chant with the Eagles chant started and you could hear that that stadium felt like 85% Eagles, it felt like the link. And you're like, there's a different vibe here. Like, this doesn't feel like the Chiefs. Like, this doesn't feel like their night. This doesn't feel like, okay, the Chiefs are the younger, hungry, underdog, upstart team. Like, this feels like it's the birds night. And when that chant happened, I'm like, okay. We both looked at each other. We're like, huh, there's something up here. And then basically from the jump, the Eagles started dominating and they should have had the big play that was taken

off the board early, but like big picture. I mean, they fucking crushed and the fans were there and it was just fucking awesome. Everything about that game was great. So, uh, all right. Anyway, appreciate you guys. And, uh, we will, uh, do some more.
