Episode Date: February 9, 2026

Bomani Jones reacts to the Seattle Seahawks beating the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX. First, he discusses Drake Maye's tough performance and how Seattle's dominant defense means we got very few answers about Sam Darnold going forward. Later, he discusses Bad Bunny's halftime show, what made it such a great time & why the "backlash" to the performance was so contrived.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the right time, a wave original. My name is Beaumani Jones. Thanks for listening wherever you get your podcast. Thanks for watching us on YouTube. Subscribe, like, rate us, review us, give us five stars. You only give us four stars. I'm inclined to believe you are a hater. We got a lot to talk about from the Super Bowl, which, I mean,

I want to play something for you guys right fast, right? And for those of you who have not heard this, This is a clip from Justina. Amon Worry, all right? Her son Nick plays safety for the Seahawks. They are Nigerian. She is from Nigeria, and she is doing an interview about the Super Bowl and listen to how impressed she is by the idea of the Super Bowl.

To go over there to San Francisco to watch this game, watch your son. To be honest with you, I don't. I don't know. Everybody came asking me, do you know what you are going for? Do you? I said, Super Bowl. They said, do you know how many people die to go to Super Bowl? I'm like, how? I don't know. I have opportunity to go there. So I'm like, okay, maybe this is something big that I don't know. It's big. I don't know what I'm expecting. All I'm going there is to shout. Yeah, Super Bowl, touchdown. We win. That's it. Well, let me tell you something, Doc. If she ain't know what the big deal about the Super Bowl was before,

she sure she doesn't know what the big deal about it is now. I love how dumb sport sounds to people who don't care. Yes. Like, oh, wow, you ran the ball over the line. Big deal, good for you when you win the game. I said that to the homie toby and Wigwe. I don't know you've been here, a rapper out of Houston, very Nigerian cat.

And I said it to him, and he was like, yep, that's my mom about my life. Right? Like, you got to really start making some paper, apparently, for these American, these American trivialities to really register with the Nigerian mom. But no, after she watched that guy,

like, what are we, what are we doing? She ain't even get to say yay that much. Yeah. If we being perfectly honest. Now, I would assume, though, that she got to, like, get into the defense, because some play defense, and the Seahawks did play a certain measure of defense.

Like, Ryan, I don't know. Did your mama have a go-to at football games? So, like, my mama has a go-to. That's what she has two go-toes at football games, right? And I haven't been to a football game with my mom in a very long time. But me and my brother talk about this all the time. It was a time for a football game with my mama. She got two go-toes.

If her team has the ball, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. And if your team is all, if our team, is on defense. Get them, get them, get them, get them, get them. Get them. Get them always. Yeah, get them is universal. Just get them. And it is a passionate, it is a sincere. She is invested in the get them. Right. And my mother is a fan of sports. So we're not talking about somebody just totally out of it. Yeah. I'm wondering if Mrs. Z got like charged up during the game. A son played a defense. You know what I'm saying? Maybe, maybe she get her get them on. But like, what does she think about any of these other games that, that her son was playing? And by the way,

they was in South Carolina. I need to hear his accent because the country-ass Nigerians, boy, they sound, they got a sound. You know what I'm saying? But how charged up, like, hopefully she was happy because her son's team played a lot of defense.

Congratulations to them. And shout out to the boy Kenneth Walker, because that was an old school feeling kind of, kind of run it back before. right? What we're talking about? 27 carries for 135 yards. That's what I'm talking about. He's good, too, right? Like, like, and to be honest with you, he should have had a whole lot more running yards. And the only reason he didn't have a whole lot more running yards is that Clint Kubiak. We got a big brain in the house, guys. Auditioning for a job he reportedly already has.

You already. You're already. Okay, I am assuming, and let me look, look, let me look up his exact track record. Because, I mean, what I was about to say is, I'm assuming that he's cool with the boy Kyle Shanahan, obviously, because they got, you know, their daddies. They've been going to Christmases together for 30 years. Right. They're not the same age.

And he did work with Shanahan in 2023. He did not work with Shanahan when Shanahan was working with the Falcons. And I bring that up because we all watch Kyle Shanahan be the most responsible. culprit for the Falcons blowing that 28 to 3 lead. Because for whatever reason, the dude who's built the offense that makes it so that everybody can run the ball was like, no, let's keep throwing. That's what we should do. We should just keep throwing the ball.

Yeah, yeah, we got this big lead. Why don't we just keep throwing the ball? What could possibly go wrong? Ryan, give them the quote, the old quote. Yeah, there are three things that could happen when you throw the ball. Two of them are bad. There we go. Yeah.

Right? There we go. that's that freight that's never been wrong in fact if you extend it out and loosen the assumptions more and more the bad things actually keep stacking yes and the good ones don't right they had reached a point what was this third quarter early fourth where chris collinsworth said the exact same thing that i was thinking i mean they're going to just run the ball out right right there's no reason to throw the ball ever again and by the way shout shout out to kyle shanahan who learned his lesson About that.

Because he had games with Jimmy Garapolo where he was like, hey, man, just, just give somebody else. Yeah, let's throw the ball eight times. Yeah, and that's all in the first half. Yeah. Whole second half, we just go hand the ball off. The Seahawks, for whatever reason, right,

we got to just make sure Sam get a touchdown, huh? That's what we need to do. There was no, honestly, there was no reason we don't run the ball after 7.30, 7.30 p.m. I mean. Yeah, once he got to 9-0. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like once we had seen the halftime show,

there was no need to throw the ball because the Patriots were not going to do it, guys. Drake May apparently, you know, he had the bad shoulder. We knew he had a bad shoulder. He said he took a shot before the game. He's not making any excuses. And I'm so glad that he's not making any excuses. So we can just talk about what this really came down to,

which was an all-time bad quarterback in performance. And there were throws there to be made. They weren't all great. They weren't all stupently. Like, there was no excuse to be as bad as he was in that game. This wrapped up, and Ryan, you got this stout of thing, what Stephen Ruiz of the Ringer put this up. But for quarterbacks that had gone this deep into the playoffs,

played three games in the playoffs, it's the worst postseason by totally EPA, one of them fancy advanced numbers since the year 2000. Like, we talked about this coming into the game. He hadn't been good. Deontay and I did the show on Thursday. And I got to say, you know, y'all don't talk a lot about when your boy get it right.

Me and Deontay were pretty clear. This, this one had beat him down written all over it. And it had even to beat them down punctuation, which is the gratuitous defensive touchdown in the fourth quarter where the game is already in hand. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he kind of, Drake Mae kind of got a.

pass in the first two games because Herbert, you know, C.J. Stroud was so bad. Yes. When they played. And Herbert was so bad when they played. Yeah, yeah. Let me tell you this. C.J. Stroud, if he was watching the game, it's like, how come ain't nobody talking about putting him on the bench? Like, when we watch C.J. Stroud be this bad,

all of us were like, hey, why don't you boys go to Davis Mills? Drake Bay was that level of bad. Right. Right. Now, like, do I think you go to, who is their backup? Do we know? I do not know. Let's go ahead and find out who the backup quarterback for the Patriots is. It could be anybody.

Brian Hoyer, though, that he feels like he's on the board. Oh, Josh Dobbs or Tommy DeVito. Oh, I got to say, man, Josh Dobbs might have done better for you. Yeah. Like, Josh Dobbs is the kind of backup you get specifically for this.

Yes. Specifically, like, he is not, here's what Josh Dobbs is. Josh Dobbs is a backup who can start a game for you. Right. But I mean, again, we knew that that was not going to be yet. But that's really all there is football-wise to talk about from this game. Like, I know that Seattle defense is really good,

but that didn't, I did not feel like, this did not feel like that was what I was watching, right? So if you want to talk about some of these stats we've seen with like the, the EPA numbers, like the 10 worst Super Bowls, and Drake May is on that list also, right? Oh, yes, here we go. Drake May had the six lowest EPA per dropback in the Super Bowl since 2000.

Now, Payton Manning is on this list twice, just so we're clear. And only one of them is 2015. I mean, obviously, but you know what I mean. Patrick Mahomes is on this list twice. Ben Rothesberger is on this list. I mean, I'm saying that to say, there's some really good quarterbacks

who are on this list. So this doesn't mean that Drake May is doomed to be terrible forever because he's on this list, okay? However, let me tell you who else is on this list. That Kerry Collins game in 2000 against the best defense we've ever seen, the Rich Gannon game against the Bucks with John Gruden and them knew all their hand signals. Rex Grossman in the rain. that first Ben Rothesburg of Super Bowl where he completed some ridiculously low number of passes.

The Jerry Golf game that I went to against the Patriots, oh my God, that was the most boring football game I'd ever been to. And the Patrick Mahomes game that it looked like they were playing against 13 people, and I still contend maybe the best individual performance by a quarterback maybe I've ever seen. Yeah, I mean, if you combine it through the whole postseason, Four games completed 57% of his passage. Six touchdowns took 21 sacks for an 81 rating. Oh, by the way, right fast on that Super Bowl.

Also on the list last year, Patrick Mahalz, which also looked like they were played against 13 people. Correct. But was not, I repeat, not the best performance that I have ever seen. Like, against the Buccaneers, he looked like a magician. Against the Eagles, he looked like he was getting sawed in half. Like, oh my God, but that's, that was what we watched. That was it.

I also have to say this, too, about the gang. I've never felt that the NFL concussion protocol had more integrity than it did in that Super Bowl when they took Jackson Smith and Jigba to the back to go check out his concussion. Because I thought they would have been in there like, I'm holding up two fingers, right? Right. Okay. Let's go. Let's get out of that.

Yeah. They didn't even take it to the blue tent. They took them all the way to the back. Let's get it back out here. Let's get it back out here. Also, to see Hawks were good for business. We will still be able to have discussions about Sam Dardle next year because not good. He was not good.

I mean, the first three quarters of that game looked like a game played by two coaches who do not trust their quarterbacks. Yes, and two quarterbacks who should not be trusted. Like, it's not like they did anything to make it seem like anything. Like, they were like, they were a, like, they were a. hunts and draws and stuff where you were just like, oh. They were running on third nine, third and seven all. Yeah, was it you? That was like, yo, the Patriots are calling the game like, it's the snow.

Yeah, I said that what I talked to you about was on the end of the first half. Yeah, when they didn't try to take timeouts, try to get the ball back. No, no. And like, they would have gotten the ball back and then they would have gotten the ball back to start the half. Which is, you know, the whole Patriots, Vrabel, Bill Belichick, you know, to try to double up right there. Yeah. And they're like, nah, no, let's just, let's just go to the back and let's just

talk it out. Rabel must be doing some therapy because he was so positive with Drake May. And I'm just like, there's no way to say really how you feel. You play defense. Right. Like that Patriot's defense boy. That's going to be a long golf season for them boys. And by the

this is after Drake May was the like damn near MVP. I mean, he was one one guy going rogue for maybe winning But the moment, just a little bit too big. Yeah. It was a little bit too big for Super Bowl champion Sam Darnel. Let me tell you something for you, Sam Darnel.

This ain't going to get you in the Hall of Fame. It might get you some more money. But let me tell you what is definitely going to be able to get you if you play it right, a job as a television broadcaster. That job is now wait. mess around and get another, and he can. Clearly, he plays for a team that can overcome a quarterback. I mean, he's not only a Super Bowl champion quarterback.

He is a USC graduate Super Bowl. Talk about someone who's going to get a media job. Fox is ready for you, brother. Right, but think about this. This is perhaps the, again, the Seattle defense has been excellent all year long. They played well, but I did not feel like I was watching the 2000 Ravens in that game. However, what this defense has proven itself to be, and this is a short list, defense is good enough to overcome a quarterback because in many ways in this game,

they overcame the quarterback that they had. Like when you think in your mind how many of those defenses truly exist, there really aren't that many of them, right? Like that's 85 bears. That's 2,000 Ravens. That's 2015 Broncos. who played quarterback for them, not just who played quarterback for them, who played quarterback for them, and how did that quarterback play?

Oh, wow, he was Cheeks also. Ooh, like the O2, the O2 Buccaneers with Brad Johnson, the 2001 Patriots with Tom Brady, who's, by the way, whose name comes up on that bad run of playoff starters? Tom Brady's there. Like, in fact, that's what this list really is in a lot of ways. like Drake Mays there, the Peyton Manning, 2015, the Rex Grossman, 2006. They didn't win it, but it's like, oh, we are overcoming you.

2000 Ravens, Tom Brady and 01. I feel like Shanahan overcame Garoppolo in 2021. Yes. But overcame, Jimmy Caropolo's been a quarterback in two Super Bowls. You know that? Yeah. It's wild. You know, I mean, maybe all that money people spend it on quarterbacks, y'all getting it wrong.

Maybe this isn't it? But you know what the thing is? Even Sam Darnold costs a bunch of money. Like, it's not like he's out there playing for $8.75 an hour. Yeah, I mean, he's what, I think $30 million or so? Yeah, but hey, man, they've got a team good enough to win it on defense. They did it this year. This is, I don't know how sustainable it is, but that is, wow, props to us for coming up with 15 minutes to say about that dog shit game.

All right, Ryan, now it is our opportunity to talk about peripheral stuff. Yes. Now, I want to say this right fast. I feel bad for Michelle Tofoya. For those of you unfamiliar with Michelle Tofoyer, she used to work sidelines. I think she worked for ESPN. She worked for NBC. Yeah, she was on Sunday night football for a long time.

And now she is running for the Senate as a Republican in Minnesota, right? Like she took similar steps to where Sage Steele was going. Maybe she just got more ambition because she actually out here trying to do something. Sage is out here trying to be on camera and talk a while. I mean, Michelle was also a shitty Republican podcaster. So maybe she's trying to fail up. You know what? You know what?

You're absolutely right. Sage is just better at being heard. Correct. Because I completely forgot that Tofoy was out here doing this stuff. But anyway, I don't know who they talked to and like who really tested this idea. that my bagging on the Bad Bunny Super Bowl was the way to go. But she sent a tweet that said, during halftime tonight,

I'm going to do something I've never done before, fold laundry. To which Tray Wingo said, it's amazing you've made it this far without ever folding laundry. And look, I don't think Tray Wingo is so pinko-combe, you know? No, Trey. He's Hal the third.

I'm just telling you, like, that ain't really how he sees it. What I found so funny about that was, how insulted must you be if you are Kid Rock? Yeah, you couldn't pull up the live YouTube stream, couldn't change the channel. You put in all this work. And we gave, I saw some clip from that Keir Rock show,

and it was some country motherfucking rapping. Like, it was country rapping. And he wasn't, like, he wasn't a bad rapper technically per se, but I was like, what are we doing over there? I also saw a clip. I couldn't tell if it was real. But Kear Rock got mad because people weren't clapping and rapping along. so he walked off the stage.

I have to admit. I did not see any of the Kid Rock show. I consider myself a bit of an expert in the culture wars. And being on the internet for the last 10 years. And one thing about the you have to learn about the culture wars is you have to know when the other side is fighting seriously. Yes. And if they're bringing up Kid Rock against the most popular artist on Spotify,

they're not taking this for real. No, but their problem is they're really bad at booking, right? They just can't really, like, y'all, they got the Country Music Association Awards or Academy, you know, CMAs, country music, that's what they got. They went out and got Zach Bryan. They went out and got Kenny Chesney. You know, then they're taking this seriously. Yeah, I'm just saying, like the CMA, the CMA does the same thing and they get the job done. They can't really dial it up twice.

Right. You understand what I'm saying? They got one out and got Garth Brooks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they, the CMA speaks their language, right? Like, like, they used to tell Obama jokes and stuff like that. It was their thing. But anyway, the thing, so the thing I do want to say,

and I do think it's important to discuss this in talking about, look, I have felt that the whole bad bunny pushback has largely been an internet contrivance, right? And that people who live on the internet, it was a super big thing, and it was the easy thing to go to, I don't know how many people in the streets, right, were really that invested in caring.

I've never met anyone in my wife who was anti-bad Bunny. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, maybe, but I just, I don't, you know. It's never come up. But my point is not whether or not they're anti-bad Bunny, it's whether they care that much about the fact that Bad Bunny's playing the Super Bowl.

Got it, yes. Right? I don't have an answer for how many of them there are. I do think, though, that it's worth pointing out that everybody gets a little iffy when they don't speak the language. Whatever the language is that is put before them. Like when you start talking to people who don't speak the language, the worst comes out of

people in those moments, right? Like this is no matter who you are, no matter what it is, once it gets to a place you're in a place where you don't speak the language, how you feel about going to countries where you don't speak the language, anything else. Language, when people don't understand it, makes them very, very insecure. And we generally acknowledge that language is a significant part of culture. Like one of the things, really, no matter the country that you're in, if you immigrate to that country, one thing they want to know is whether you've taken steps to learn the language of the place where you are. If I learn anything what I was in Miami, it is that language is the great segregator above all else. That is the number one is language, right? So the idea that people are

are a little iffy about an act that is going to speak entirely a language that they don't speak, I understand that on its face. The idea that people are like, huh, don't you think it's a little weird that it's America and the halftime act doesn't speak English? I understand why somebody might feel that way. The idea to anybody really cares, or like, get super mad about that, you're not going to convince me that's like very, very real. Like, especially not to the point of going to watch no fucking kid rock, right? But it's a perfect line to draw if what you're saying is we're losing the country, bro. You know what I mean?

Like, if that's your whole game and that's your whole hustle is we're losing the country, bro, then yeah, this is going to be the thing that you're going to try to art. I get you. On the other hand, people are lazy, right? Didn't you? Like, it wasn't like it was on a channel. That I was gonna bring that up.

You was gonna have to go find it somewhere, right? Yeah, the, I would say the overall half of people who wanted to turn on the kid rock concert, but needed their kids to do it for them. Yo, that's exactly what I was about to say. Like, these are old people by and large. And by the way, old people who are gonna go get, I'm an American badass, right?

Like, it's not even their kind of music. It's not even their kind of life. The vendyrim of people who are trying to protest this halftime show. People who love Kid Rock and people who can successfully navigate a smart TV. Yeah, yeah. Figure out, like, is your airplay working? Is your Chromecast connecting right now? It might not be.

There's no guarantee that this is a website that is capable of handling all this. traffic. You also have to take a break to realize that like there's also going to be a 90 second rant about streaming and how everything was better when there was only three channels. Yeah, like you got to you got to go through all of this. Oh man. People you're just not going to how many people were actually going to do that or we're just going to be like all right well this shit's on. You know, I guess I'll go ahead and watch it. Maybe I'll use the bathroom. I have no idea that you're never going to convince me that there were that many people that were this mad about. this, right? That the idea of bad bunny that they were going to go through all these steps.

He's like, I'm going to fold laundry. You can do that and watch TV at the same time. Shit, you think you're the only person that folded laundry during the Super Bowl? Like, this isn't, this isn't that hard. I fold the laundry during the Super Bowl. Yeah, this isn't that like, if that's what you're going to do, this isn't that hard, it's just like, this being your personality or this being your thing is the internet completely breaking our brains. That is, that is, that is, that is the only way that I could receive this, right? I also love the idea that bad bunny is some, uh, messenger of the left, you know, well, I mean, but, but, but I mean, this is also bad bunny who is, uh, you know,

wrestled in the WWE. Yes. And, uh, been in Adam Sandler movies. Well, here's what he also is. Somebody, everybody knows who he is. Correct. Like, like, you couldn't position him as this, some like, outsider that they, you know, No, no, no, no, no.

This is a very famous, well-known man. Like, this is, this is who he is. And, oh, by the way, he rocked that shit. Yeah. Look, you know, I talk a lot about taking the Spanish lessons and stuff like that. For whatever reason, I struggle still to pick up, like, understanding Spanish and songs, especially that brand of Caribbean Spanish. I do not understand it.

So, like, I'm not listening to it and, like, know the words or everything else. but I know what I know what's jamming when is jamming. I mean, come on, man, we used to listen to the bone thugs. You ain't got to understand everything to know what's going on here. Brother, that show was jamming from top to bottom. And I'm going to tell you this too. Even if them cats is like they all like Spanish. Let me tell you what is a crowd pleasing it.

Everybody seems to like Spanish girls. And it was lots of them. Yeah, Jessica Albu. even though the ones I don't, the ones I ain't know the name of was doing just fine. And you know what they look like it what made the show so dope

and why it's kind of so wild? And I'll just go ahead and put this out there. Why this was, to me, a significant improvement over last year's show. It wasn't, I'm sure there were things to think about. There were messages to be offered, whatever it is. But what it really was, was a big old, good-ass time.

That's what it was. It was a party. Everybody involved in that looked like they were having so much fun. I'm not Puerto Rican, obviously, but I can only imagine if I was. Like, he was putting off for the squad. He put off all for a whole nation,

ran through all the countries, even through Haiti in there because he ain't stupid, right? Like, there was a message to the show, certainly. I don't know what it was entirely, though, because I don't speak Spanish. I need to speak Spanish. A, they played the DeWay of a York joint.

That's an old Puerto Rican joint. Check that one? that was jamming, brought Ricky Martin back out there, didn't let him sing no Vita Loca or nothing like that. That was what was up for whatever reason. I understood his Spanish better than I understood bad bunnies. They was looking out for some of y'all. You know who I'm talking about y'all?

They had Lady Gaga come out there. They did just one. Just one, olive ranch, and they gave it to us. But, no, man, that was, like, that was a great show. Like, I can't anybody who was coming out of it bragging about how they didn't check it out, You lost. You lost.

Let me tell you something. But maybe the rest of the Super Bowl would have been better if it was in Spanish. How about that? Right? Because the show was definitely better than the Super Bowl.

The show was better than them commercials too. Like, is that even a thing anymore? Like, right? Like, I also feel like because some of the commercials come out in advance, like the 50 cent.

What about beef? I thought that was pretty good, but it'd have been out for days. Yeah, now it's like, It's like a two-week marketing campaign leading up to the Super Bowl. Yes. It's just, so like part of it is like we're not all getting the joke at the same time. Correct.

So I think that like cuts out a lot of the humor. It's like if, you know, one third of the people involved know the punchline. Yes. But it also is just like a way to shove old people and be getting some money. It is. It is. Now, I want to point out a couple of things that I noticed in the commercials. Number one, crypto back.

Looks like it. Crypto back. Okay. People trying to buy the dip. Very, yeah, but I guess they bought these ads a long time ago. Like, did they know? Coinbase is back.

And speaking of Coinbase, not one, but two Backstreet Boys commercials. And we couldn't lead that back in 1999. Tell me why. You know what I'm saying? Like, like, we had two Backstreet Boys commercials. I wanted to change my sale of telephone. provider after I saw that. I saw somebody, I think it may have been the boy Cass who raised the question about, um, like, is Justin Timberlake just a bad friend?

Yes, those cats. Like, like, all, yeah, all the, all the backstreet boys, they still get together. Justin Timberlake is like, Joey, who? I don't know any of these people. To be fair, the back street boys need to be a collective. That is very true. Nobody, that's interesting. Nobody broke out. You're right. Justin Timberlake is like, I got to, I got to feed four more families. Yeah, good point. Um, so we got, yeah, we got two backstreet Boys commercials. That Dunkin' Donuts commercial with all the people from the sitcoms did not make a dollop of sense. They must have been paying big money too because they got Urkel to put back on the Urkel suit and you know he ain't really about that at all. Yeah. They got him out there.

Did you see the Liquid IV commercial about looking at your P? I heard about it. I did not see it. So I'm trying to remember what song it was based on, but it was like some look at me type thing or whatever. And it was all about look at what color your urine is because maybe you need to take liquid IV. And I'm here to tell you guys, or maybe you need to drink some water. Like, we used to do ads for liquid IV here.

Okay? So one thing that was interesting about that, I have no problem saying this. I don't think this violates anything. They were really big on don't use the word hangover. Because they know what time it is. Okay. Use the word water.

You can just drink water if that is your solution. Like if you're looking in the bowl and your piss is too yellow and your thought is I need to go buy something, you are a lost cause. Mike Tyson did an advertisement for Make America Healthy again where he just talked about how fat one of his aunties was. And then he's in there eating an apple. Did you see that one? I did. And I thought Mike Tyson is an interesting spokesperson for health. I just want to say that it's weird enough that we allow Mike Tyson to like be back.

All the way back. Yeah. Three people who we let them back doesn't make much sense in varying degrees for varying reasons. Well, Mike Tyson kind of makes sense because he has attempted to atone. Right. He's taking a great deal of responsibility. I think largely people pity him. Number two is John Gruden.

And I said something on Twitter about this. And people are like, you don't forgive. You don't forgive people who don't apologize. Right. He's never showing any level of contrition for it, which is why letting him come back around and how many of these football goose are like, oh, Joe Gruden's so funny.

Fuck you. Number three is James Winston. We just kind of like, oh, he's so funny. And it's like, yeah, we just let them back. But Mike Tyson, that was shocking, like how he got everybody to come around. I will have to say, the commercial I thought was the most effective.

Okay. Did you see the commercial with the tight ends in it? I did not. Okay. So if you have not seen this commercial, it is a commercial with a bunch of tight ends in it. It's got Tony Gonzalez, it's got George Kittal,

is got Rob Grunkowski, it's got another one. And it's talking about these guys being tight ends, and it's not really easy to understand. what they're talking about and like gronk is with a horse i don't remember exactly why and then bruce arians it turns out is doing the voiceover and bruce aryans is recommending to people that they go in for their prostate screening and then he explains that you can go do a finger prick test now for your prostate screening. And then when he tells all the tight ends that you can do the

finger prick for your prostate screening, they booties unclinch. They ends, get looser. You see? Yes, yes, I do. You get it? Yeah. And I have to say, a man of my age, finding out that there's a finger prick prostate exam is the best news I got all day. Definitely better than the alternative. Yo, that's really it. That's up there we finding out about the colonoscopy thing where you just boo-boo in a cup and put it in the mail. What?

Yeah, you've seen that commercial where the dude is like, talking about going out in the snow and he's like, actually I'm just going on the porch. And then he goes and gets there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so that's the test to see if you need a colonoscopy now. That's huge. So you don't automatically have to go in for the colonoscopy.

Now, part of what's funny about this, that is I did that and then I went to the UPS store to send it off. And so I'm at the UPS store, but it didn't open until nine, and it's like 845, and there I am for 15 minutes, just standing outside with a box of dokey. You know, it felt a little weird, but I got to say, they, they, that commercial was weird, and the whole booty unclinching thing was, you know, I guess, but I now know, and I will never forget. And as soon as they try to get me, hey, hey, hey, hey, what about that finger prick test that Bruce Arias was talking about? Like, overwhelmingly on these drug commercials,

I'm like, hey, man, I'm not, like, I shouldn't be asking you what drug I should take. You understand what I'm saying? Right. Like, uh, that, that's just not it. You should be telling me, but now, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, why don't you just poke me in the finger right fast and then we work it out from now.

I want to make a point that I meant to make earlier about Bad Bunny that I think is most hilarious. Even if Bad Bunny was saying super revolutionary stuff, you'd have no idea because it wasn't in English. And apparently a lot of these people who were so mad, they don't even speak English that good. And I know that because you're worried that things got too woke or whatever words you use because of Bad Bunny. Green Day came out there and did songs from American Idiot,

which is by the ways that people use the terms, the wokeest. Yes. That you could imagine. Like, it is entirely a reaction to the set of circumstances that lead us to being here. Yes. It's saying it dead in front of you. And you were just da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. You was just right there with it.

Incredible stuff. All right. Speaking of people who had an interesting weekend, Janus, NBA trend deadline came when Janus remained a buck. He then tweeted a famous meme from the Wolf of Wall Street that he's not going anywhere. He then came out as a sponsor for the prediction market. Kalshi. Um, Bumani, what did you make of Bumani? I'm sorry, Jonas's interesting week. Well, once again, he is turning himself into Dwight Howard in the worst ways.

Just doing it all wrong. Doesn't want to be the bad guy to anybody. And people respect the bad guy more than they respect the try to make everybody like you guy, right? We know you try to get traded. We know you're trying to get out of there. Like it's, it's too many people saying this. We know that you're trying to get out of there, pretending like you're not and that you stayed because you had, no, man, come on, dog, like, stop doing this. You're making a fool of yourself. Now, I do think, though, the Kalshi thing is going to be a beginning for a lot of people, right? And I think it is incredibly cynical and, again, get us into, like, internet contrivance world. Do I think that Yannis started chatter about him being traded to generate business for Kalshi?

to make some sort of, no, that's stupid. Like, I just, that's, that's a level of cynicism that I can't get to, right? Like, and also, I don't fully understand how these things work, but it feels like a huge federal crime. Yes. Right? Like, you're just whining about this. No, the feds would be on this if that's that.

That is getting dangerously close to things like insider trading. Yes, I mean, it's the literal definition of. It's the fix. You're shaving points. Yeah. more or less, right? I want to say this about Kalshi, though. And look, I'm pretty sure you guys just heard a fan dual ad just before this, okay? So, you know, full disclosure. However, I saw a commercial for Kalshi. That was one of the most disturbing things that I have ever seen. And it was the whole premise

of it was you can bet on anything. And I don't know if you've seen this ad, but it says you can bet on anything. But what struck me about it was the way that it was edited. was like it zoomed in on all these different things and then it started doing it really, really fast when it was doing it. Oh, you can bet on this. Oh, you can bet on that. Oh, you can bet on this.

Oh, you can bet on that. It felt very much like the end of Goodfellas, where as Henry Hill descends more and more into cocaine addiction, the paranoia is throwing in the anxiety, like everything in the production. And it felt like everything in the production of that commercial was buying into the anxiety of being addicted to gambling and needing something to bet on, right?

it's not simply like, hey, you know, there are thousands of things that you could bet on if you happen to just want to have a good time. It was like, hey, you can bet on this. Hey, you can bet on this. Everything around you is something to bet on. And if I was a person that was legitimately addicted to gambling, I can only imagine what it felt like in watching that ad. Like sports at least, sports gambling in its cell.

And look, there's a lot of problems that come down with it. But at least in the cell of sports gambling, there is in fact sports. right? It's just like, hey, we're just making this little thing better, right? Kalshi is like the world is a casino, right? Bill Maher, did you see, Bill Maher's monologue on gambling was interesting last week. You have to see it. And I know, so I have my issues with Marr, like everybody has their issues with Marr, but I will say after having done that job for a couple of seasons,

those essays are really well written and really good whether you agree with them or not. But he made a very interesting point about what all this gambling says about America. and he was like, hey, man, there's a reason that all the, like, Kung Fu movies and stuff like that run through somebody gambling and that the casinos are like they are in Macau and these places in China. And he's like, because they ain't really got no hope. Right.

Like, your chance to hit it big is going to be in a casino because how else are you really going to do it? That's where we are now. Right? Like, your only chance to get it is to scam it, basically. And gambling is a scam, but it's not, you know, it ain't earning. you know, that's where we are. And Yon has put his face on it.

The guy who went and got it like nobody else. Like few have ever gone and got it. It's telling you to try to, you know, hustle it real fast if you can. All right, moving back on the college basketball. UNC. Duke was this past weekend. UNC beats Duke on a buzzer beater. They stormed the courts. Duke coach, Chott Shott Shire, was not happy,

saying that, quote, he had staff members get punt. punched in the face by New North Carolina fans storming the court after a late game shot. For me, it's hard to talk about the game where I was most connected to just for the safety or our players after the game. I don't want to make it about that because Carolina, they played a great game to win. That's a heartbreaking loss for our team. I got stabmenders that got punched in the face. Bo, what was your reaction to this?

Number one, course storming needs to be banned. Like, it is, I mean. It is 100% my biggest old guy change. Yeah. It's like, yeah, maybe I'm just getting. older, right? No, cornstorming is an obviously terrible idea because no one can act right. It's ridiculous. Yeah. Like when you think about what the very idea, think about this, we have security here for the whole rest of the time. The only time that we're saying we don't

need security. Zero, zero zero, zero. Ships over. The most, the most volatile moment in the game. And this is the part that people talk about with course storm, but I don't think we talk nearly enough about because we only associate court storming with something. something amazingly good has happened and these people are storming the court to celebrate. One day, they go get their asses out there and it goes the other direction. If you didn't see in this game, they stormed the court out of the Seth Trimble, hit the game, went in three, okay? But the game wasn't over.

There were four tenths of a second left. And so they had to get everybody back off the court, okay? I need you to imagine that that happens and they get everybody off the court and then Duke makes the shot to win. And now they run back out here again. You understand what I'm saying? Like this is, no, no, no, no. This is something that should not be allowed

in the idea of, hey, man, this is white kids trying to have fun. And yes, the white part is important. 10,000 black people start storming to court. It's going to be an electric fence around that motherfucker after a certain point. You know what you don't see court storming? Professional events.

You don't. Because they're still working when the game's over. Right. This is a terrible idea. That being said, when Shire said that one of his coaches got hit, I was like, before I develop an opinion on this matter, I need to find out which one it was.

It's Duke. It might be somebody who deserved to get punched in the face. They have, they don't have, they're no longer in the era of having, like, Joe and Chris Collins on the bench, which is assistants that I wish could get punched in the face. Like, if you told me that after the game, somebody punched E. Wojahowski in the face, my question is how many times? And if they said, once, I'm going to be mad because there was a lot more work to do. What's your follow up? What's the guy's Venmo? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's go fund me.

Does he need bail? Like, what, like, what can I, what can I do to help him out? Like, what is his name so I can get it on the back of a jersey? That's what I would be doing. But I went through. when I got Carole. He all right with me. I don't really got no problem with Tyler Thornton. I didn't know nothing about the rest of the assistant. So it was kind of like, yeah, okay. And Shire's never bothered me, right? All right.

But yeah, the real moral of the story is it could have been the best weekend, well, the second, the third best weekend in the history of North Carolina sports. The first one being when they beat Duke at Carbren in Coach Kay's last home game. Yes. And then the second being, or tied for first, when they beat Coach Kay in the final four. to end his career, right? But if they could have had a weekend where they beat Duke on a last-minute shot

in an upset, and then Drake May, Luke May's brother, would have won the Super Bowl, it would have been excellent, right? But instead, Drake May had to play like, no,

your friendly reminder that it is still Carolina football now, isn't it? All right, a bit of a weird story. heading over to the Winter Olympics. Wider. The wider Olympics. The wider Olympics. Because of the snow. Because of the snow.

Some athletes are working for an interesting edge, and I'm just reading news here. Ski jumpers are allegedly injecting their penises with hydrochloric acid in order to fly just a little bit further. Bo, what was your reaction when you saw this? Okay. So I want to be clear, it's hyleronic acid. cholerotic are added. Yes, that's a, but see, that's important. This leads to my discussion that I had when I heard about it.

My brain filled in that word. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because look, look, look, look, look. If you were telling me that they were shooting up hydrochloric acid. That's on me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like that's, I feel like this story has much different outcomes. I could be wrong.

But, all right, so yeah. So the idea behind this is that you shoot up with the hyluronic acid. And it is it kind of like in the, Botox family. I believe so. Yeah. And so like it's, I saw it in a commercial yesterday for some like skin stuff. It like it reduces fine lines and stuff like that.

Like it makes things bigger. And so the idea is that if in your ski suit there is some slack, then it makes it better for ski jumping. And so it's like this is an analog to tricks people do to make weight. Right. In a boxing. And so the idea is. is that you get shot up with the holoronic acid

and it make your joint get bigger and then you get fitted for the suit under those circumstances. And then the swelling goes down and now you got the slack in your suit and then you can ski jump farther. And all I hear is needle, penis, and acid. Now, again, there are many different kinds.

Acid is a very broad term. Right. as it covered earlier. Yes. However, and what you tell me is, because I ain't no scientist, we're going to put blank acid in your joint.

Nah, man, I'm going to just do this fair and square. Because let me tell you what I don't, I could be wrong, but I don't feel like these cats make that much money. That's some real love of the game shit that we're talking about right here where you're taking a needle to the nipples.

Nah, dog. Not your boy. All right, Bo, voicemails. A lot of great ones. Here's our first. Hey, Bumani. So I know you've talked a lot on the show about being a Braves fan. And one of the things I've heard about the Braves is back in the day they had all of their

games nationally broadcasted on TBS. I was just wondering if you could talk a little bit about, you know, what it was like to have your favorite team on those broadcast, you know, what it was like to watch them growing up and how that helped sort of expand their fan base throughout the South and throughout the country. Thank you. So the expansion of the fan base thing, there are actually two factors to that one. One of them is the Superstation, TBS, being, what is now TBS, I guess people who I have to remember, this is an age thing. It used to be Channel 17 in Atlanta.

and then Ted Turner got it on. Basically, Ted figured out these cable companies are going to need content. And so he threw a bunch of reruns and stuff on there and then sent it out everywhere. Ted Turner bought the Braves and the Hawks so we'd have content for the channel. And then the channel wound up on cable

and got this distribution. You also have to remember, and this is still the case for a lot of the South, but there were many more places in America they didn't have teams back in the day, right? So, especially in like the southeast part of the country, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, those places. The Carolinas?

Yeah, North Florida. I mean, the teams weren't in Florida yet. Right. And keep in mind with the Carolinas also, D.C. didn't have a team. Baltimore did, but D.C. has been more of like an influence of Carolina than like Baltimore. like Baltimore reaches more up. D.C. reaches more down.

But either way, those places did not have a team. And so during the summer when you're not doing anything else, the Braves were on. Now, a big part of this, though, the Braves were terrible up until they weren't, right? You know, the Cubs have a nationwide fan base in a lot of ways because WGN did the same thing. The other level of it, though, with the Braves that people don't realize

is the Braves were on AM 750, I believe was the radio frequency, but it was a clear channel station. You could hear the Braves in your car on the radio all the way to like Louisiana, Mississippi, as I remember. Yeah, yeah. So it wasn't just the television, right?

Like if we were on a road trip in that part of the country, we could listen to the Braves. Like they were everywhere for anybody to have. So that's for the fan base. For me personally, I can sum this up very simply. When I was six years old, the parents decided to move from Atlanta to Houston,

which was not something at the time that I was really on board with, but imagine my surprise to get to Houston and to find out that I still have access to my favorite thing in the world, which was the Braves. I literally don't know what my life would be if the Braves were not okay. All right, here's our next one. Hey, Bumani. It's Casey out of Palmdale, California.

as someone like you who feels people need to come on home when the time comes. What do you have thoughts on this boxer who literally had his hairpiece knocked off during the fight last weekend at the Square Garden? He won the fight, but he ended up taking his hairpiece off after he got knocked off, staring around, and took it off, threw it in the crowd, in between rounds, and then went around the crowd and everything else. So just want to know your thoughts on that. Later, man. Keep up the good word. Hey, man.

I got to be fair to this cat. And look, I believe in coming home when it's time to come home, but that's not a decision for me to make for other people, right? I mean, I left home during the pandemic, for example. It's not for me necessarily to say when you should or should not go home, you know, trying to be fair here. this guy seems to have a problem and we talked about this with a few people.

LeBron James has this issue. I don't think that he really got the right shape for properly coming home, which doesn't leave him with that many options. You know, it doesn't help getting punched in the head for a living. And so that's the part that I was going to get to for him, which was did you stress test this? Right?

Like, did you have any idea? Like, when you went and got this, You never bothered to ask any questions about, gee, I don't know, man. Like, I got to make sure this thing can stick around the whole way. Like, if I was him, that's what I probably would have been doing. Okay, okay. Hold up. He said that he used the hair piece because he lost his hair

because he accidentally washed it with ammonia bleach. That can't be correct. That has to be the Google AI just telling me, telling me anything, right? I surely hope so. That can't. That can't possibly. No, no, no. He said he lost his day two days earlier

using a bottle of shampoo he found at his mother's house that was like, quote, ammonium bleach. I don't even know what that... All right, here's our next one. Hey, Bo Mani. This is Rodney out here, Austin. Let's see your show. Basically, every day I'm going to be in and out of work.

The funniest name to go on the Epstein list, I would say would be Hannibal Furris, the dude that got coffee all in the line right again. I think that would be the funniest name with FCList. All right, buddy. Have a good one. That would be pretty funny. Certainly ironic. Yes, I think ironic is the better way to put that.

It would also raise a lot of questions just to like, who put Hannibal Burris Dowell with Jeffrey Epstein. Yeah, it was. I just listen to Deep Cut Burris. How did they get connected? Yes. How exactly? Hannibal Burris is so famous for a joke that wasn't a joke. That was just some real spill.

All right. Got to keep the bit going. Here's our next one. It was good, Beau. This is Jalen from Kentucky, a black Jailen. That is. And when it comes to the topic of white Jailens or white Tyrone, I haven't met any of them.

but when I was coaching high school football or quarterback, who's a white kid, his mother was named Lanisha, the only white, Lanisha I've ever met, the only white Isha anything that I've met. So just thought I would share that. Love the show. Keep doing what you're doing. Ryan, what I tell you about them lus, them lull ladies is out there, but the Isha, the Isha is a bit of a surprise.

It's certainly different. And speaking of law, here's our last one. What's going on, Bo? This is Eric and Stone Mountain, Georgia. I grew up in Oklahoma City, graduated from Oklahoma State, and I go back for homecoming from time to time, which in Stillwater is a really big deal. One of the events that some of my friends and I attend

is the Black Alumni Golf Tournament. Golf is serious at OSU, and there are a couple of courses in Stillwater. The Lord knows there ain't much else. but every year the Black Alumni Association will rent out one of those courses for a day and we'll have a couple dozen or so forsums pay to enter a scramble tournament and all of that money goes to scholarships for current black students. It's a really dope cause and it's a lot of fun even though most of us suck at golf.

But one of those courses is called Lakeside Memorial. I have learned that it was designed by OSU's golf coach in 1945, which says a lot about what that do look like. But that coach was a former PGA Tour Pro. And as the designer of that course, there's a sizable portrait of him inside the clubhouse. And when I saw this man's portrait, I had to do a double take. As a matter of fact, I stopped and I took a picture because that gentleman's name is LeBron Harris Jr. Hashtag White LeBron.

Have a good one, Bo. The rest of all, I love how everybody sounds like Mike Hitman, but they sound off now. Yes. And, by the way, LeBron, L-A-B-R-O-N-E-Harris Jr. Yeah. It's still in the league. Whoa. Good for him.

84 years old. He's still in the league. Wow. Made my day with that one. I also want to throw something else out. Other things I learned today. It's a long story as to how we got here. But I want to send a shout out to a lot of you folks who, like, if we keep it real,

because I was around in this time. Some of y'all bought that kid right, devil would a devil without a cause record when it came out. y'all did y'all was bald with the bond you know what i'm saying don't act like some of y'all didn't some of y'all did i did not so today i learned for the first time something that i had no idea of which is that kid rock has a song called and i quote black chick white guy now I need you to understand that this song is a little truer to life than you might think, because Kid Rock does have a black child. Dead ass.

And he loved this song so much that he put it out on one album and then did it again on another album. And guys, this song is so racist. Like, it's so racist except Friday. it would make Hank Williams Jr. not hang out with him anymore just because of the topicality. But it is of that level of, this is the,

so it's about a black kid who seems to be him, who comes from the middle class, and this black girl, she came from a place that was so alone, you know, the same old tale of a broken home. Her mama was an alky, more like a friend, and it had three different kids from three different men.

and it's a love song about how they started having sex and then had a baby and then had an abortion and then I had to stop reading the lyrics on the page because I was laughing just a little bit too hard. You think he played that song, right?

Again, another sign that they weren't taking this culture war seriously is with the artist who has a song. Oh God, I hope he still plays it at shows that would be amazing.
