I'm Derek Thompson, long-time writer with the Atlantic Magazine on tech culture and politics. There is a lot of noise out there, and my goal is to cut through the headlines, loud, tweets, and hot takes in my new podcast, Plain English. I'll talk to some of the smartest people I know to give you clear viewpoints and memorable takeaways. Plain English starts November 16th. Listen for free on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to the Ringer Fantasy Football Show. My name is Danny Hyphids, and I am joined.

in person by Danny Kelly and Craig Horlebeck, and we are power ranking the worst bets for the Super Bowl. Yeah, that's right. We brought Power Hour back. There's no rules. You thought it was over. We said, screw it. What is the ding going to be between things?

It's still Tom Tom. Oh, yeah. I forgot about Tom Tom. Jeez, come on. What is wrong with me? If you want good bets, go to the Ring and Gambling show, Warren Sharp. Ben Solitz there, Joe House. They're smart.

Get good bets from Warren Sharp. If you want bad bets, fun bets, stick here. We're recording this on Wednesday, which, again, we don't know the injuries exactly. So, like, but that's what happens. You want smart bets. You should probably not be placing your bets on Wednesday. It's kind of the worst time. But that's when we're doing this.

We're recording this. Okay, so we're going to go through Power Hour. If you don't know the deal with Power Hour, we're going to run through two minutes on the clock. And after two minutes, you will hear this sound. God, Tom, Tom, Tom's great. It's incredible. And then we're going to go on to the next topic. Respect the timer.

Respect the Tom, Tom, Tom. We'll see. We'll see. We'll see how long we respect. I don't really respect the timer, to be honest. We have the Fandall Listener League. Check us out, fandle.com slash league slash ringer listener league. It's the last game.

Click the episode description. Did we talk about the fucking trophy yet? There's a giant trophy that we sent for the winner of the regular season league where we, I mean, it's... It's the size of an armoire. It's massive. Okay, first of all, it's literally eight feet tall, maybe? You know when you click buy something on Amazon and it's like way smaller than you think? We ordered a big trophy on trophies.

And it was much larger than we thought. It's the funniest trophy I've ever seen. Shout out, honestly. It is literally, I believe, no, it's not eight feet tall, but it is taller than it can be. It might be. It's the... It got shipped like a, it looked like it was like a statue. We're just going to keep making it bigger each year.

Yeah. I think that's a good bit. Anyway, check out the Ring or Listener League descriptions in the episode. Okay. Let's get to Power Hour. By the way, the trophy was for the person who won the regular season. Yes. So that was the regular season.

Congratulations. Yeah. Anyway, Power Hour. We'll reveal it when they get it. Okay. Okay. Shall we? Begin the old timer?

All right. Let's do it. Two minutes on the clock. Ooh. Bain. Let's just, who do you think who do you actually think is going to win the game, D.K.?

That's the whole Super Bowl, Rams, Bengals. D.K., that's the worst bet of the week. What is the worst bet? Who is going to win? This is the most boring. We gotta start there. Who do you actually think wins? I decided to go with the Rams in this one.

I think just the vulnerability that the Bengals have on their offensive line, the mismatch, Aaron Donald, you know, Von Miller, that offensive line that's been really bad over the course of the season

and over the course of the postseason, the Bengals have managed to do really well mitigating that issue, but it's just like, is this going to happen again? I don't know. So I'm picking the Rams in this one. I'm nothing if I'm not stubborn, and I've bet against the Bengals three straight times, and I'm going to do it again.

Only thing worse than betting against them four times and losing would be betting against them three times losing, switching to them and then that would be worse. And no, I actually agree with both you. I guess we're all on in the Rams. which is boring, but whatever. I just think of it as there's actually not really a fact-based argument that I've heard for the Bengals. Like, the Rams to me are a better team.

I think the Rams are a deeper team. I think the Rams have better players at almost every position. I think the Rams have better players. When you really hear that, it's like, damn, damn. And I think the Rams have better coaches. They certainly have a better trading stat. Like, they're just, every part of the Rams as a team, as a company just seems to be better. They're home?

They're home. They're literally in their stadium. like they live here and the Bengals just have Joe Burrow. The Bengals have magic. They also have Jamar Chase, T. Higgins. I mean, they've got some really good good... They have magic.

They have this intangible thing of like, I don't want to bet against this team. But other than that, I got nothing on why you should take them. Like, magic. Like, you'll feel dumb bet against Joe Burrow, but if the Bengals lose, won't you be like, oh yeah, they give up nine sacks like three weeks ago

and now they're playing McDonald's. How do I bet on that team? We'll get to that later. We'll get to some sack bets later. So with that, okay, so we're all on the Rams to win. So obviously the Bengals are going to win and you guys should get on the Bengals. That's how this worst bet show works.

Who do you think you would bet on? The spread is the Rams giving four it opened as now it's Rams giving four and a half. Do you want the Rams, so are you laying the points, D.K.? My unbelievably unscientific prediction on the game's final score, which I picked out of thin air is 21 to 19, so I do think that the Bengals will cover. 2119.

All right, you told me that. Why did you get 21 to 19? I mean, why does anybody do anything? Why, you know, where are we? How many football games score 19 points? I mean, like, where is Earth? Like, what's the universe? Did you actually just pick a number,

realize it's not a football score? And they'd be like, well, I said it, and I'm sticking with it? Yes. That would be a Super Bowl score agammy, right? 2019. 19's not as weird as it. The Bengals just put up 19 in the divisional round.

I'm not going to do math here, but Ben Solek, who's very smart. told me that 19 is a number that can happen by someone missing a two-point conversion. He was just being nice to you. I know. Two touchdowns, two two-point conversions and a field goal. Sure. You can do whatever you want.

Yeah. I don't think that's 19 points. I didn't really want to think about it too much. A team that typically would get 20, all they got to do is miss a field goal, an extra point. There you go. But Evan McPherson's too good, so that's probably not good. All right. All right.

I don't think the score would be 2119. Regardless, I think they cover. Part of me just wants to bet the Rams to win exactly by three points. which I kind of think will happen, and you can get like 10 to 1 odds on that. I know, I saw that one. I actually kind of like that one. Yeah, I just kind of want to do that.

Because I think that won't cover the win, but I'm like, at that point, just that's going to win by exactly three. So you're both taking Sincese spread. You're taking Sincere plus four. No, I think that. Yes. Wow.

Honestly, you could do that, but I would actually put, what are we saying instead of units? Nuggets. Nuggets. Which has Ben Silex dog's name. Exactly. So if you're getting a 20,

is it really, Nuggett. Yeah, that's cute. I if you got like the 20 piece McNugget I would put like five on not Mick Nuggets just Nuggets yeah the 20 piece of McNugget I'd put five on um no free ads but I would yeah you're right it's a good point but the 15 on just win by exactly three all right I'm taking Rams minus four Tom Tom played okay Super Bowl MVP yeah okay here's what I like like there's obviously all your standard traditional options the quarterbacks which always win uh Vaughn Miller on Fandul is plus 39 which is 39 to 1. I like that one a lot. That's really good. And Leonard Floyd, because people are like, oh, Aaron Donald.

And I was like, you know, Aaron Donald actually doesn't get that many sacks. Like, he's a game disruptor, but he's not like the flashy MVP type. He's not going to have the stats on paper to warrant giving an MVP award to. I think this is a good take. Von Miller and Leonard Floyd, however, Leonard Floyd is plus 13,000. He's 130 to 1. I think this is good. Because, like, if the Rams win, like, a defensive game and they're disrupting the whole game,

I think the players on the Rams would vote Aaron Donald and the Bengals, like, truth serum would vote Aaron Dow on the MVP. But if he doesn't get two sacks or force to turn over, it won't be him. And like there's two games this year like the, sorry, this century where like the Bucks Dexter Jackson, some random guy gets a pick six or Malcolm Smith for the Seahawks,

some random guy scores a touchdown. And like, you're just betting on one of the other Rams defenders to get the strip sack or get the pick six. Yeah. That person could become the MVP. And those guys are all 150, 200 to 1. Yeah.

I like that a lot of shoddy old line play like Burroughs. There could be like a Leonard Floyd strip sack to end the game that's like, and then Leonard's one has like two other sacks. Because the thing is, if you want to bet Cup or or Jamar Chase, like, if they have good games, they're probably just going to give it to the

quarterbacks. Right. You know what I mean? That's what I was thinking too. They'll have a great game, but because quarterbacks are who they are, they'd just give it to either Stafford or Burr. Like six of the last eight Super Bowl MVP's been quarterbacks, the other two have been linebackers. The flip side, though, is now that I think about it, if the Rams do win a defensive game and maybe Stafford throws

like a couple picks and just, they're not going to give it to Stafford. And like the Rams defense won this game. Aaron Donald would get it though. Yeah. Because like it's kind of like the other guys that you're throwing a dart that they scored touchdown but Aaron Donald's like 18 to 1 it win MVP. Von Miller's already won it. Realistically, it's the same group of people voting on this.

Donald's 10 to 1. Oh, it went down from 18 to 10? That's not that good. But like, that's bad odds. That's why I'm like, dude, I think Leonard Floyd's the best bet. 130 to 1? You don't think he could have three sacks? No, but I, yeah. You're right. No, has a non-courback ever won Super Bowl MVP?

VP twice. That's a great question. I'm looking through the list. Probably not, right? I highly doubt it. That seems impossible. Okay, Tom Tom, we're late. It's a good question, I think there's no way.

Okay, can I give you, oh no, DK. Yo. Give us, hit us. Here's my next one. This one I think is really fun. The jersey number of the first touchdown score. Wow. Over under 23.5.

So. The jersey number of the first, okay. So this is the jersey number of the person that scores the first touchdown in the game. Good. Here's some of the under players. So it's got to be under 24. So it's got to be 23 or less.

This is a good one. Under is favored in this. It's minus 140. And here's the reason why. Jamar Chase is number one. Joe Burroughs is number nine. Odell Beckham's number three. Cooper Cup is number 10.

Wow. Van Jefferson, number 12. Stafford 9. Cam Acres is 23, which was kind of, I bet why they did that line right there. Yeah. Ben Scowronic is 18.

And then here's the overs. Actually, why I like the overs? because that has better odds, first of all. But I think this is just more fun to root for. Joe Mixen 28, T. Higgins, 85. Tyler Boyd, 83. Sony-Michel, 25. I think he's got a good chance.

CJ Yuzama, 87, if he plays. Tyler Higgy, if he plays, he's 89. Kendall Blanton, 80s. I just feel like a tight end is going to score a touchdown. And you got Drew Sample, Chris having some R.J.P. Yeah, they're all over. So I'm just taking the over on this one because it's more fun and there's, like, less star power to root for here.

Looking at this, the overs are the Bengals, and the unders are the Rams. It's the Bengals plus Sony Michelle and the Rams tight ends. Minus Chase. And the unders are, I think, what makes this bet is that the Bengals are the last team, and I think actually literally the last team, where they have two starting receivers in the 80s, right? Like, they used to be our higher childhood. There's like no receivers in the 80s anymore. And literally it's like, T. Higgins and boy, there's only six or seven left in the whole league in the Bengals.

So you want to go, you want to take the over? Just for fun. receivers in the 80s. I mean, it's the, it's not as good of a bet, but. To be clear, that is betting against Cooper Cup, O'Dell. Jamar Chase. This is where the under is favorites. Stafford and Burroughs scrambling. I think it's going to be Higgins. It's going to be Higgins

Mixin or Michelle. That's my prediction right here. Let me, can I give you guys like the bet of the century? Well, I mean this. And I know I'm, this is free money and I want everyone to perk up. I feel like literally every time we've said that, we've lost that bet. But let's do it. There, you can bet. on whether the opening kickoff will be a touchback or not. Now, going in blind, which side of that do you want?

I would pick touchback. Yeah. You would, right? Common sense. Yeah. I am betting on the opening kickoff will not be a touchback. Why? Makes no sense, right?

Okay. 26 of the last 28 Super Bowls, the opening kick has been returned. Why? Great question, Craig. There's a freaking... Amped up. There's a reason. They don't let the kickers break in the ball in the Super Bowl.

in the Super Bowl. Every game in the entire NFL season, they get to break in the ball like it's like a baseball game, right? The pitchers work in the ball. Yeah, like the flakeet gets stuff. What that was all the way. Shaving cream on it and whatnot?

Yeah, the kicker, the way quarterbacks do it, kickers do it too. They break in the ball. The Super Bowl, they just hand the guy the ball, the kicker right before kickoff and then he kicks it. And then the returner catches it and returns it, gives it the ref,

and the ref gives it to the official and they run it to the Hall of Fame and they put it in the NFL, the Hall of Fame as this was the kickoff ball from Super Bowl whatever. Sometimes the Hall of Fame is really stupid. They take everything. It's like, they're the loinsest thing. Who gives a shit of the ball?

This was the ball that kicked off and it didn't play in the rest of the game. What's cool about that? There's so many things who are like, oh, they just sent these gloves to the Hall of Fame? I'm like, are they going to display that? This touched a man's foot. They're hoarders at the Hall of Fame. Their basement is just like, clean that out.

Anyway, so 26 to 28 and you hear that and you're like, oh, there's a reason. So last year's game, Harrison Butker for the Chiefs kicked off the opening ball. Harrison Bucker, probably after Tucker, has the biggest leg in the entire NFL, he led the league in touchback rate last year, and he barely

got the ball to the goal line. I can't believe that it has that big of an effect on the ball. And the distance. Right, but I watched Bucker's opening kick, and it's like, it's probably going to be returned. So I'm telling you, it's minus 110. That's even odds. You're getting even odds on this. This is like when you get a new basketball and it's like all sticky. Yes, that's

literally imagine buying a basketball and take out of the packaging and shooting. Like, even stuff Curry would probably miss. It's like, Just feels weird to the touch. So anyway, okay. First touch, first kick will not be a touchback. Wow. I don't mind that.

It feels like a good one. Okay. I'm going to be really rooting for that one too. Okay. Next one up here. Either team to score a touchdown on their opening drive. I'm going to go with no here. Oh, Tom, Tom, Tom.

Got to get Tom, Tom, Tom. Yeah, come on. Tom, Tom, started. Okay. Okay. I'm saying no team to score touchdown on their opening drive. It's minus 138 to say no. I went back and looked. In the last eight Super Bowls,

only one team has scored a touchdown on their opening drive. Can I guess? Yeah. It was a Manning or Brady team, right? It was Chiefs against the Niners. Wow, okay. They put up seven. Every, the last, that's 15 out of 16 drives.

No touchdown. That makes sense because everyone's so nervous. And they can say whatever they want. No, 100%. Stafford's going to be jittery. I think with these two teams, especially two, you know, you've got two teams that are just going to be kind of like feeling it out. Yeah.

The coaches are going to feel each other out. It's not just the players, too. secretly not great. No, that's such a good call. You know why? It's not just the players are nervous. It's the coaches think a lot about what they call. And they're like, well, like the first play is either, let's just call a run to get the jitters out. We're calling a freaking deep shot to establish. But like, it's not like the way they call normal plays. And that's a very good point. The first quarter is always like kind of on his side. Zach Taylor definitely calling a run. Rams have not scored a touchdown on the first drive in any of the games is playoffs. Wow.

The Bengals have only done it once. Wait, do you first drive first quarter yourself? drive. The Bengals have, this is either team to score on their opening drive. I think that's a true. What did you say the odds? Minus 138. So you're going to lay a little bit of money. I think that's actually a good bet. Even if that's a good bet. Like, they can March on the field, kick a field goal.

You still win this bet. Also, to zoom out for a second, I know we don't really care about this thing. Oh, it's a touchdown. It's not even score. It's not even score. Also, to be clear, if you actually care about winning money, like, again, sometimes your heart wants to your heart wants. Actually. But they set. Every single over under is set to make the unexciting thing, like, none of the exciting

things pay well. If anything that involves Cooper Cup having more yards or more touchdowns is always like it artificially inflated to make it hard. Anything betting against scoring is probably a good bet.

So if it's minus 138, I think that's probably, I like that a lot, Craig. Yeah. So we're looking for, we're looking for a not touchback on the kickoff and then a not score. Really slow.

We're rooting for boys. for boring as shit in the beginning. Wait, can I just piggyback off that one for a hot second? Next up, for the first touchdown, whoever scores it, I actually like Stafford or Burrow, rushing it in. We're both 30 to 1 rushing it in. Stafford doesn't scramble, but when he scrambles,

he scrambles in the red zone. He does like the dive-ins. Yeah. He also, but he sucks at Cubie sneaking. He does, but also, dude, Joe Burrow, like, it's very not hard for me to see, like, Burrow having nobody open and getting chased by Donald and just running into these.

on Zoned for a touchdown. I feel like 30 to 1 when Cooper Cup is like 4 to 1? Like I'll take that. How much money do you guys put on Super Bowl Sunday? Like, do you like...

More than I should. Quadruple the typical Sunday bet? I feel like I do. I think it's more than that. It's honestly fun. How many nugs? How many nugs are you putting on? To be clear, don't do that.

You're 4Xing the nugs? Absolutely. All right. I'm putting like 20% of my nugs down. Okay. Super Bowl Sunday, yeah. It's a 40 piece.

Okay. Anyway, that's all I got. Okay. We commandeered your space. It's all good. Do I have to finish this now? Okay, you're... I'll start out with Tom Tom.

Okay, cool. Speaking of, sort of the... I think feeling them out... It's like the start of an eight-round boxy match or whatever, how many over rounds, 12 rounds. I think this is going to be one of those games that ends up being really close. We have already established that I think it's going to be sort of a low-scoring game because the defenses are going to be so good up front.

So I've got a couple here that I think are good. Will the score... So will there be a score on the last play of the game? And that's in regulation time. Only can't be overtime, obviously. Yes is 14 to 1. What do you mean, obviously? It could totally be in overtime.

Well, the last play of the game in overtime. Could be a score. Yes. That ends the game. No, he's saying it only, I don't think the bet counts if they go to overtime. It also does not have to be a score. What are overtime? Yeah.

If a team kicks a field goal and then the next team goes forward and forthdown and doesn't get it, the game's over. Oh, you're right. That actually is awesome. Overtime rules are too confusing. But unless the exact thing happens, then every, the point being, it only the regular... This only counts on, like, a last-minute field goal or, like, a game-winning touchdown.

That's very unlike Craig to be, like, the person... You don't technically. Anyway, but to your point, to get, there were more walk-off plays this NFL season than any in NFL season than any in NFL. I know. So I'm, like, going with, like, keeping up with the identity or, like, the, you know, personality of these playoffs, which is, like, every game comes down to the last, like, minute, or a last play.

So I'm just going to keep going on that. It's 14 to 1. It's happened like in every freaking game so far. Not really, but been pretty close. And then related to that and close to that, you guys can tell which one you like more, because I'll bet that one. This other one is,

will both teams have a lead in the fourth quarter? Yes is plus 280. Wow. And I like the yes. So basically, will both teams have a lead at some point in the fourth quarter? Is there going to be a lead change in the fourth? Right. Every game for the Rams,

so sorry, the last two games, I should say, both teams led in the fourth quarter against the 49ers. And then both teams led in the fourth quarter against the Buccaneers. But the Bengals is close.

It's not quite as good. The Bengals had a lead and the Chiefs tied the game in the fourth quarter. And then the Bengals took the lead on the final play of the game against the Titans. So not quite.

These haven't been all hit, but I just think it's going to be a close game. I like this one that both teams will have a lead in the fourth quarter. I think it's going to come down to like the last driver two. I like last second field goal, 1,400.

I think these are pretty good because realistically, yeah, would this happen? Is there going to be a walkoff one ever? every 14 playoff games. And in these playoffs,

yeah, it's been more than that. It's been like every other game. 85%. Yeah, that's the kind of analysis you get here instead of like

Warren Sharp being like, this is the worst bet I've ever seen. Probably wouldn't do that. Yeah. All right. Related to that because we both,

I think we all believe in Evan McPherson, the Bengals just steely kicker. His over under on field goal attempts is 1.5. This is been a hot prop. Everyone's talking about it. It's pulpy.

Yeah. It's minus 152. He has attempted four, field goals in each playoff game though. I know, that just feels like it's going to hit. Also, I just think the Bengals are like, they're content taking field goals.

Burroughs only four touchdowns in the play. So here's my take on this, and I think this is a take on a lot of Super Bowl prop bets. This is just them clout chasing on every McPherson's name. And they're like, oh, I've heard this kicker. I want to bet on the kicker to do something. So if, like, you want to root for the kicker, that's fun. Do the root for your kicker. But, like, there's zero chance that, like, the specific kicker prop for the only one of the two

kickers that are actually famous, like, name brand famous. Like, it's not good odds. It's pretty terrible odds for, like, if you're trying to make money. But if you care about having McPherson and you're like, you know what, that guy's freaking cool. I'm like, yeah, do it. Yeah, because you got to lay $150 to $100.

Also. I actually like a better one, which is both teams making a field goal over 33 yards is minus 120. And, like, which is almost even odds. And, like, that's, what is that? The 16 yard line? Like, both teams making one field goal for more than 33 yards. Like, I do like that.

Isn't that just like a no brain? I like that. The reason I pick, yeah, I like that. That's probably a better one. Dude, every podcast that's about betting that's just like just getting into betting, kind of like us, this is how it always goes. One guy reads a bet and then the other two guys,

wait. Oh, I like that. Yeah. Oh, that's good. That's good one, write that down. And there's like no analysis. Do you guys like this one? Let me run this one by it.

Like four touchdowns and four quarters. Ooh, I like that. And yeah, everyone listening when I was like, you know, both teams over 33 yard field goals, everyone's just like nodded again. Yeah, that's, yeah. Yeah, I like that. Meanwhile, we're basically like idiots,

selling each other on Dumbet. And then at 11 o'clock Eastern, after the game ends, there's going to be some tweet from Fandall that's like, this bet are won $100 million because they bet on zero field goals to veer kicks to be made at the game. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. I got another one. This is not, like, I actually think the touchback one's really fun. This one I don't, I'm not going to be like, oh, this is a lock,

but I actually like it a lot. Over under two and a half people throw the football. So it's got to be Odell. Well, no, no, no. I think over under two and a half people throw the ball and I think Odell will be the guy No, I'm saying, but who else could it be? I, hmm.

Because the more options that you think is possible, obviously you bet that you're more likely to bet it some more confident, right? So Odell can throw out, we know that. Can anybody else go? I feel like one of the Bengals guys could do it. I mean, I'm sure Jamar Chase can throw football. I think Jamar Chase could do it.

This is in the game? Yes. So it's basically like, it's not a halftime. Will any other person besides a quarterback? How many? Anyone other than Stafford and Borough, basically. What if there's a backing quarterback? True. That's true. Fake pun.

What if they come in for one play? What if someone comes in and... Well, I don't know. These guys, that wouldn't happen. I think what it is... What if a punter throws? Is that kind of? Yeah, fake punt? To be honest, I'm not going to go ahead and say that either guy in this game will have the confidence to call fake pun. I'm very much saying, I think Odell throws the football in this. I... O'Dell is a good arm. It does. Like, I really do think one of the reasons he was upset was half joking,

half-joking, have serious. I do think O'Dell could throw the football further than Baker Mayfield when Baker was hurt. With his shoulder. What are the odds one of these teams calls the Philly Special? pretty good actually. What are the odds on this 2.5? Oh, I think it's like minus 130. All right. And it's like,

or no, sorry, not minus 30. No, it's like plus odds. Oh, okay. It's like plus, it's like plus 130 or something. And yeah, Baker actually is a perfect career, sorry, not Baker. O'Dell is a perfect career passer rating.

Nice. Literally four for six for 144 yards and two touchdowns. And like, they're all like hard throws. Like he is actually a great arm. And I think he's lefty. So it always kind of catches, I could be wrong on that.

I think you might be right because I feel like both him Ben Landry or lefty? You know what it is? I think he can throw spiral of both arms, actually. That's what it is.

Fucking Odell. Just talented. I'd be totally wrong on that, actually. But no, I like that. I'm going to look it up. I'm going to Google Odell Beckham left-handed.

Okay. I do like over two enough players to throw the ball. That's not bad. All right. Yeah, he's left-handed. Okay. I want to spend some time

on the national anthem. I love it. I bet it every year. I get it. You know, I feel like I'm actually 50-50, but there's no better rush than counting down the seconds

as they're singing brave and holding on to brave and you have your stopwatch out and you're like, hold it! Hold it! Like Braveheart? So it's...

Hold the line. Mickey Guyton is singing it who I honestly don't really know she's a country singer. But it's a really low line. It's 95 and a half seconds. So the idea is she's not going to like futz around with like, you know...

It was 95 on Fandle. They took it down. Other sites, it's 100 now, 100 seconds. Whoa. I love the under. I feel like... You know what? This is...

You know what the addiction of the anthem was, aside from like it's the anthem, is it's easily the most egalitarian of all the props. Yeah. We've ever set that line knows exactly as much about this as I do. So I, so, in the last 15 national anthems, eight have gone over, six have gone under, and one has pushed, which is insane that it was the exact one. Right on. Have you gone, though, and done the hard work of have you watched this person sing the anthem?

Yes, I have. She flew through it. She did in 86 seconds. 86? She flew through it. It was in May of 2021, not that long ago. She did in Washington, D.C. Whoa.

But like for what kind of event? I don't know, but it was in D.C. It was not a super. No, it was like some political thing. I'm not sure. But. So she was going to be less like. She's sung it in 86 seconds.

And then I went. Fewer fills. I watched Faith Hill on Colbert talking about what it was like singing the national anthem. She was like, you're so nervous. Like I think you're more likely to speed and through it when you're more like, you know, like when you give speeches in high school, you get up there and you fly through it. And the whole thing is like slow down. You're not talking as fast as you think you are. I think she's more likely to sing quickly through it.

She's obviously good at it. She's done it. She's done it recently. I'm taking under 100 seconds, and I feel really good about it. Yeah. I think that's actually great. I think that's really good.

And I don't know Mickey Guyton at all. Who's her name again? Mickey Guyton. Oh, I just appreciate all the research you did for that. Yeah. Wow, Craig. Why don't you research for, like, fantasy football that was? I know.

This is the most research. He was, like, head down, like, really studying. I was timing on my stopwatch on my phone. Did we go over the 95 seconds on that top top? He did. Okay. It's also just so fun to have the stopwatch out and you start it as soon as she starts. It's great.

Okay, next one. I want to talk about Gatorade, my second favorite bet to make at the Super Bowl. Yes. This is the opposite. This is the hardest thing to possibly prepare for. So I did some research. So first of all, last year, Blue Hit, it's plus 800. Doesn't someone at Gatorade have, like, a lot of power over this?

So a Gatorade exec spoke like a year ago and said, so this is how they do it. They select according to him. He's probably fucking boring. Who knows? He's got like $10 million on whatever. Big blue is actually doing this. They select Gatorade selects three colors at random. Sure.

And they bring them to the field. So there's three different coolers on both sidelines. And it's a player. Whoever like decides to dump it just grabs one. It's just Eric Weddle who was unemployed a month ago. It's just like, I want orange and like. Right. But there might, I don't even know if there's tops on it.

They don't even know. They might not even know. So it's apparently like seal. They have to have them locked. But then people could drink them. Oh, they have to have to take off the top. You spit it. There's no security with these gatorades.

Well, if the top was already... It's a NFL sideline. Don't you think if the top was already off, people would look down and see it, like, start like... No, the top is... What are you even talking about the top is on? A player could make a bet before the game, and then that same player can go pick out

whatever fucking Gatorade one he wants. The tops have to be on and they take the tops off to pour it. That was my guess. Just saying this is rifeeating with the players. So instead of a point-shaving scandal, a player trying to make money could just be like, well, the integrity of the game's intact. I'm just taking off the integrity of the Gatorade color.

There's not that many colors either. So, yeah, well, let me tell you the odds right now. I can't tell if this is a bit or not. Well, they wouldn't know ahead of time what colors are going to be on the field, but they could still make bets on like several different colors and then choose one. The players? Yeah. Go full Pete Rose.

Yeah. I'm just saying. So let me read you the odds. Well, who's the player who would do this. Don't answer the question. Don't answer. That's rife. We're going to plow through this timer.

I don't care. Okay. Here are the odds. Blue is the favorite this year. Blue is plus 800. It was like the fourth favorite last year. It's number one. Then goes orange, clear, which is water or clear Gatorade.

Clear. I've never seen a clear one. Yellow, green, and lime, then red pink, then purple. Red has never been dumped at the history of the Super Bowl, which I think is interesting. Since 2009, orange is the winner with five. Blue has three. Yellow slash green has two, clear as two, and purple has one.

So the way I tried to think of it is like, last year I bet orange or red because it was like, Chiefs Bucks. It's red. Yeah. And now I'm like, oh, Rams, like, yellow, and then Bengals orange. So, like, I want to go with orange. But now that I see these damn, we choose it at random, I feel like I should just pick

the one with the lowest odds. The purple. What are the odds for blue? Blue is the favorite, plus 230. Purple, the worst favorite is plus 1180. But I feel like purple's too uncommon. When was the last time you saw purple gay in the wild? So that's what I'm thinking?

What if I just did red? Red's never been. done. It's plus 960. I mean, I hear the vending machine at the radio radio and there was red there. And then the X one was red too.

Just take red. I just think, I don't know how they make these lines. Like, why is blue plus two-third? Like, if the plus 800 one hit last year, how do they make these lines? I'll tell you how they make the lines. They have to make a thousand lines

and they just churn out these stupid ones and they put a betting limit on $25 on them so that you can't actually lose money. And like, they don't, dude, just do the red. Did you any research on the players that dump the Gatorade on the coaches. No. I'm curious about that now. It's usually the characters on the team.

Every team's got like some every team's got a guy whose first thought is I want to go douse the coach with Gatorade. No, it's guys who have that. Everyone knows like the friend is that's the first thing I'm thinking of when I'm winning a Super Bowl is I want to dump this Gatorade on my coach. You want to know something weird from 05 to 08 four straight years the color was clear.

What is that? That is weird. I mean water. I know. Or I guess there is clear Gatorade But most of the time it's been water. Like, that's so boring. What's up with that? Is Gatorade fucking around? Do they just like...

In the NFL, it was like, we will just keep having water poured on the coach until you pay us more money. Gatorade's like, fine. Wow. Do you have, do you remember who, which ones the Steelers had? Because the Steelers have won two Super Bowls, right?

I had it. The Steelers, in 06, it was clear. Do you know that we've officially talked for longer about this than who would win the Super Bowl? I love this. By I like a lot. The Steelers got hit with Clear, and then later on they got hit with yellow slash

I'm pretty sure, and you can correct me if I'm wrong, I'm pretty sure the Seahawks when they won in 2013, it was orange. Correct. I love the things that burn in your memory. You know how I know this is because I'm a dork and I had a picture of Pete Carroll getting like a dumped, you know, on like my screensaver at one point. You know after they did flying coach, Craig poured orange Gatorade on Pete Carroll's head? Yeah. He was awesome. Also, fun fact, in 2017, there was none.

Same with 2013. Just no. Like they just didn't do it? No Gatorid port that year. Maybe they just kind of forgot. They probably just didn't put it on. It's like they didn't have a guy on the team that was like, I want to pour gatorade on someone. I guess not.

Badly. Okay. Can we move on? Yeah, sorry. I just felt passionate about that. Super Bowl MVP speech, which actually is actually one of my favorites to parse every year. Yeah, this is great. Here are the odds for whoever it is.

Who will the Super Bowl 56 MVP mention first in their speech? Teammates are basically even odds. God is like two to one. family is 5 to 1 the city is 5 to 1 their coach is 7 to 1 the owner is 20 to 1 and

none of those does not mention any I want to I desperately desperately want the Super Bowl MVP what the hell would not think anyone what would you say what would you say

thank you thank you to like the godless nihilist universe that spun us into I don't even know how do you think these things honestly I thought I played great and Godell. Thank you, me.

Thank you, Roger. Thank you to like the staff of the security. Oh my God. I think that, so I think this is like arbitrage on like the MVP odds because Matt Stafford winning his Super Bowl MVP is like what, one to one. But family is five to one. He's not mentioned his family first. Why not?

Because he's just not. He literally just had a press conference two days ago that I was in and like he was like asked who got you here, he just went on and on about his father. And then his wife, like, they're very close. I don't know. If he went Super Bowl MVP and he threw for like 3.30 and three touchdowns, he's not getting up there and going, thanks, Jessica. He's going, whatever her name is.

Kelly, Stafford. Sorry, Kelly. Jessica. He's, Hunter, is either going to be, first and foremost, I want to thank God. He's a religious guy, or he's going to go to the teammates. Has to be. Has to be. He just got to L.A.

This is his first year. 100% he has to thank his family. I think maybe, like, coach is like a, Maybe he's like, first of all, I would take like my coach John McVeigh, my teammates. Guys, I'm going to go out on Olympia. I'm going to bet on God. Yeah, God's good. What are the odds?

What are the odds? He just goes full, like, DiCaprio and just talks about the environment. Like, we got to get the environment. Like, I want to take this opportunity to. The polar ice. Like, Yacquin Phoenix at the Oscars. That's never happened, has it? What did you just call that, man?

Watkin. Joaquin. Joaquin. Joaquin. Wawkin. No, man. Check the tape. Check the tape.

You don't know. He's super famous. Walking Phoenix. You know what? I never actually. You know what I didn't learn in school? I had at Joaquin Phoenix. Haven't you heard his name?

Have you and your friends ever spoken? Yeah, he's actually one of those people who like you never, he's the full name guy. Like you only hear his full name every time. It's like walking Phoenix, yeah. But I'm saying like when Joker came out and you were like, hey guys, do you guys want to, man, walk. What did you say? I can't remember what you called him. Joaquin?

Walkwin? When you were like, man, Walkwin Phoenix was so good in Joker. You know why it's, I've never been in a situation where I say it. I'm like confident. I just go back and forth. I don't know. Yeah. I don't know how to say his name.

I'm glad I no longer feel bad about Kid Cudy. Man. This is big L's we've been taking. I know, seriously. Pop culture L. At least we own it. That's fine. Yeah, but anyway.

We're just... RIP time, time. But the Super Bowl MVP getting up and being like, did you know that pigs have matriarchal societies that we separate the piglets from them from birth? Trees have feelings. Well, here's the thing is, I've noticed this happening a lot lately.

I don't know why it is, but like when you're getting interviewed after the game, I guess the speech comes later, like, when you actually win the award. I was thinking it was like right after the game. Oh, like the press conference. Like, oh, like, there's a presentation. I know now.

I was just thinking incorrectly. But have you guys, this is off the subject now, but have you noticed that a lot of like the post-game interviews on like the game broadcast? The person getting interviewed is usually like one of the quarterbacks just like wanders around and like hugs everyone, like middle of the interview. Like it was like burrow the other day or someone like the,

oh yeah. trying to, it was like chasing him down. He's just like hugging everyone. It's like, okay. Michelle Tollia. Like, started her sentence like six times. Cut it off. I do also want to say this is, I mean,

the most ridiculous thing to bet on, but I actually think the owner at 20 to 1 is really good odds. He goes, Cronky? I mean, if the Rams win, I think Stafford thanking Stank Crunkie is actually pretty solid. Also, if Burrow wins, it is totally possibly mentioned Mike Brown first,

because he'll be next to him. And if Burrow wins, And he turns out, like, Mike Brown wrote him like a handwritten letter when he wrote number one. Like, it wouldn't be crazy to me if he starts the ground, if he's like in eye view. What if he thinks Les Sneed? Not, he's not going to go to the first. The GM? He's, I don't know.

No, but here's the thing. 16 to 1's terrible odds for the general manager, beating out owner and coach. Yeah. Anyway, okay. The Sesame is this the first person? So we like God. I think God and I actually would throw a little bit at the owner. I would not

Okay But not fun to root for Okay Can we go another one I get this is specifically for Craig I have no idea what to do with this one But I want to ask you about it Tom Tom

Tom come on Craig All right I found this one Okay What is larger Clay Thompson's points Against the Lakers on Sunday Which is also in L.A

versus the largest lead of the game For either team For the Bengals and Rams obviously I Gun to my head I would take Clay How many points will Clay score because he just came back like a couple weeks ago right

it's been a while it's been like a month now a month and he's starting to play more minutes and he's starting to shoot better I would say like it's not inconceivable that clay scores around 15 to 20 and like is the game gonna get that out of him that's what I was wondering I was like this is actually like I feel like this is a great bet to bet on Clay like I don't think there's a 17 point

leading this one problem Clay does not play every game yet oh well if he doesn't play what happens they would void the bet but if he plays for like seven minutes you're screwed his minute he's like playing around 25 minutes a game right now but he's scoring around 15-ish, 17-ish points. Aren't the Lakers playing terribly? Yes.

There's a Lakers game at the same time as the Super Bowl. It's probably in-Gless-D-State. I think it's in crypto. No, I think it's in crypto. Because there was another bet that was like, will they show the arena for Crypto.com? And one school thought is like, crypto.com will pay a lot of money for that.

And the other thought is, the NFL Super Bowl broadcast is not showing another sports game for advertising. As, hey, if you change the channel from this boring game, you can watch the Lakers. They're not advertising the NBA during the Super Bowl I think I would take Clay, especially to have to play in the Lakers.

I think he's going to play a lot. And like, if this is going to be a low-scoring game, it's not going to be that game. The lead's not going to be 25, and Clay can put up 25. Yeah. I think I would take Clay. Okay. I wanted your opinion.

That is a good one. Also, wait, real quick. Betting, the odds are bad, but like, there's no way they're showing the Crypto.com. You used to be the Staples Center. They're not showing the Cryptocom Center, right? It's free branding for cryptocurrency. But they're not doing it for the NBA. They're not showing an NBA game during.

That's why they pay for that. That's why they pay for the naming rights. I know, but the crypto didn't pay the NFL. They buy a commercial. I really think. It's just in the background or something. That's probably the best bet I got the whole night is like whatever the odds are and they're not showing that arena because that is a prompt that's out there. There's like there's no way they're showing an NBA game during.

Anyway, Tom Tom. Tom. Speaking of which next up, how many commercials will include a dog? This one's my favorite. Line is six and a half. Feels high. I'm going over. I think it feels low.

Remember, all these commercials are longer. And I also did zero research on this. So I'm just going with my gut. Here's, here's commercials that can feature dogs. All of them. Trucks, cars. I do all of them can.

What are you talking about? Every commercial. Sure is. We don't know. That's what I was going to say, medicine. I think you should go with what can't. Right.

So why are you going under? Well, first of all, if they can all feature dogs, why would your instinct to be go under? Well, because there's no like requirement that may feature. No, we got to go reverse psychology here for a second.

We have a reverse psychology. People want to see dogs. It makes them feel good. But, I don't deny that. People are going to put dogs in their commercials. You're paying a million dollars. Okay, under is, it's, under a goddamn dog in the commercial if I'm paying a million dollars.

No, no, no, I got to ask you a question right here. If you were setting this line and you pick the real number of what you really thought it would be accurate, you're like, oh, over under five is the perfect number. What percentage of people would take the over? Like 90% of people would be like more than dog? So you have to juice it up by like two commercials, right? Because you need to be under. Are there going to be seven commercials with,

dogs on the Super Bowl? That feels really high. Seven commercials having a dog? Wow. We're split. How many commercials are on it during a Super Bowl? I don't know. That's a good question.

Probably should have done the research on that. But they are longer. Wait, we can just Google that right now. How many commercials playing the Super Bowl? Because they are longer. Probably something that would help. Because they're all like 60 seconds or sometimes even longer, right? Because it's like Budweiser's going to tell a story about the club.

It's like 80-ish, 80 or 90. Okay. One out of every seven has a dog? No way. Yeah, that's a lot, dude. I'm going under. I'm rooting for dogs. People are going to be with me, you guys.

Hate to say it. What kind of dog do you have, D.K.? Well, I don't have a dog anymore. She died. Jesus, Hyphitz. Jesus Christ. Thanks, thanks, Hyphids. Wow.

Lola, she was a boxer, bull, mastiff mix, and she was great. She was very old, so, you know. Had a good life. Yes. She was, like, 14 or 15. How could you not living with D.K.? Right? I have like one million.

in photos of Lola sleeping because she sleeps in a different position. It's like a snowflake. Literally every time she sleeps is in a different, slightly different position. It's awkward that TomTom played just during that. Yeah, it was like,

somber moment. Anyway. Should we, okay, so now we're going to get into the dumb bets. Let's turn Tom Tom off. Should just do a minute? Yes. We've done 12, I think. On that note.

No one wants more Tom. You've had enough. We did our top 12. Now we're going to get into like the great stuff. Possibly the, the funniest bet on here. How many times

does Chris Collinsworth say, now here's a guy. This is Cooper Cup. Over under six and a half. It had to be Cooper Cup. Correct answer's under, but spiritually. It is under.

So it's five and a half. But now here's but keeping the tally on now here's a guy is incredible. He's definitely aware of the fact that this is a bet, right? That's Kendall Blanton. Here's a guy that,

you know, he wasn't the fastest. No one knows the tallest. It says now here's a guy. If it was just here's a guy, I bet it would be over 10. You know, really? Because you just said Kendall Blanton,

now here's a guy. But if it's just Kendall Blatten, here's a guy, I think he'd say that eight times. He says it's a guy. He says it's a guy instead of now here's a guy, you don't think that counts?

No, no, it's a quote. They'll do anything. No, absolutely not. Yeah, they'll try to hammer the end. Realistically, I guess he says that every time they set him up to like they have some pre-packaged thing to like talk about this player now.

And like, Kendall Blanton, you've never heard of him. but like how many times the quarter? Now here's a guy. Now here's a guy is like an actual verbal crutch for him. Like it's just and it's just like I say you know. He says now here's a guy. How many of those do they have?

Like the pre-packaged ones. And it's, they're going to have one in Cooper Cup. They're going to have one on Burrow, Chase, Odell, and then like Andrew Whitworth. And then yeah, Von Miller.

Donald. Did you see Donald? Yeah, but here's a guy on like half of them. Five? Yeah. I think it's under. Yeah, I think it's under too.

Other one. This one is befuddling to me. Jamar Chase does the gritty dance for plus 130. This should be way high. So for those who don't, I mean, the gritty's a dance, touchdown dance, Justin Jefferson does it. Justin Jefferson got the dance from Jamar Chase. Jamar Chase scores he will do this. But also like if-

If anyone score. That's why that's smart. Any Bengals team, I feel like he's going to gritty. If the Bengals score in the Super Bowl, I feel like Jamar Chase will be grittying. If Burrow scrambles, Burroughs going to do the gritty, and Jamar Chase is going to be right next to them. They'll do it.

If T. Higgins scores, he's doing it. If Tyler Boyd scores, he's doing it. I think plus one, though he's easy. What's the line that Jamar Chase just scores a touchdown? It's worse than 1.30, right? I think so. I'd rather just bet on this. Okay.

Another one that I related to this that I think is kind of free money. Okay. Is that LSU's official Twitter account releases a video acting like they won the Super Bowl whenever, because one team has Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase and the other has like Andrew Whitworth and Odell Beckham. So either way, like two very famous LSU alum's win. So this is just that they release some type of celebratory video after the game? Yeah.

So like, interesting. I wonder how that'll be assessed. Isn't that? Yeah, that's the thing. So the wording's like act like they won the Super Bowl. It's like what is that? Which is very like maybe they can get out of it. But like plus 150, like of course the LSU's Twitter is going to release video.

Like they will post something. They have like the coolest video. But like if they just repost a video of Burrow like spraying champagne, does that count? No. they would have, they're definitely going to have some kind of treated things. It has to be original content. Yes, but they do. The LSU video team is actually incredible.

Yeah. Who they got over there. Shouts out those guys. All right. I think that's amazing. Okay. Dennis Villanoewee. Okay, here's the next one here.

Well, Jackson Mahalm's posted TikTok during this. I mean, I think he's learned his lesson. Yeah, to post more TikToks and you get more famous. I think he's 100%. No, I don't think he's going to. I, what, I don't know. what's TikTok? You know what TikTok is.

Don't do that. If you're going to do that, you have to be smart like Belichick and be like snap face. I don't actually know it's a video hosting platform. He's not going to do it again, but he got in trouble for doing that

during Chiefs games. Yes, that's why I'm saying, I doubt he will. Like, unless it's like him, like, unless he's like with Patrick Mahams

and they're like watching the game together. Why would he not post the TikTok during game if he's an influencer and it's the Super Bowl? Well, because he won't be at the game. That's when he was posting. when he's at the game. It's not cool if he's like in the kitchen.

But you still, but that's the entire point of TikTok is you just do stuff wherever you are. You post it. I don't think he'll feel compelled to do it this time. I feel like he'll think like, all right, my brother's not in the damn game. Kind of content strategy. I don't feel like doing this during the biggest game of the year.

100 million people are watching one thing, and he's a football-adjacent media character. He just wants to take one day off from work and enjoy the game. If he's with Mahomes, I bet he does it. I can't believe that you're, I'm stunned. I'm telling you how I feel. This is what I think. But the basis of what you're saying is that Jackson Mahomes would only post a TikTok if he was with Patrick.

And I feel like that's not how he thinks at all. I guess I don't. Well, he only is with Patrick or watching Patrick in person. I don't know the statistics of him posting videos during other games that don't involve the Chiefs. You know what the opposite of the century is? Is Craig doing more research on like the Gatorade on the sideline than he did on TikTok? I can't believe Craig doesn't have a statistical analysis of Jackson Mahomes. Jackson is maturing.

Okay. Okay. Next one. We got will the broadcast like the official. BC broadcast, show Matt Stafford in a Lions jersey, yes is plus 100%. It's not 100% because they might just like... It's not 100%

No, it is. I just said it. I literally just said it. Maybe they reference it, but it feels like that's good odds, doesn't it? You're definitely going to show a picture of him like just... Even if it's like a little like laying on the ground. Picture of him next to his stats

on the line. Maybe it's like playoff record. Next to Calvin Johnson. Maybe it feels like, it really, basically it's like would they just do it with text? But if you're making those graphics just two weeks to do it. It's probably the most important graphic you're going to put up in the game is like the Matt Stafford one.

They're going to show like a highlight reel of all is like previous playoff failures. I'd love to be in the production meeting and like hear how they decide to like how they pick their packages. Like we're going to do like a Cooper Cup thing. We're going to do a stafford thing. We're going to do a thing about game makers Achilles.

Like I, in what order do we talk about them? Can we talk about this right quick? It is so in. Oh, he didn't know right quick. No, it's so. It is so into. I guess when, I'm okay. It is so into like...

Wakwan. I can't recreate what he said. It's so unique. No one can't. I actually can't either know. Joaquin? I don't know. You literally have a recording of it.

Yeah, he could have recreated it technically. If you just, just copy and paste it. You just like did it over and you drop it in. Oh my God. I imagine Craig just did that. But lost all trade of thought. Oh, people love to be like,

my God, the broadcast is so bad. Honestly, the broadcast for these games are really good and really informative. As fun as it is to make fun of announcers, generally speaking, the broadcasts are incredible and you learn a lot watching them. Who would you guys pick? So it's Al Michaels, it's NBC this year, right?

It's Michael's and Collinsworth. Who's your number one choice, if you could have any duo? I think Romo Nance are one, but I think Michaels and Collinsworth are two for me, and I like Chris Collinsworth, and I think the people get into it. I think it's actually, I think CBS Romo NAN specifically is one for Romo,

and then two NBC's broadcast overall is the best. They feel, I mean, they obviously feel more classic, right? But I think it's like nostalgia. Al Michael's voice is iconic. I mean, he fucking did the miracle on ice. Yeah, and so if he wasn't in there, it would just feel weird. Yeah. So, yeah, I'd go to who they have.

That one playoff game where Michaels did it in the afternoon was pretty awesome. Oh, yeah, right. That was a 3.30 game. I think that was Bucks Rams. Didn't somebody tweet like hearing Al Michaels when there's the sun is out as like running into your teacher at the mall. I didn't tweet that for the record, but it was really good. Okay, next one here, a halftime show, which we haven't discussed.

You guys are going to be at the game. I'm not. I'll be watching for my comfy cab. Honestly, it's kind of designed to watch a television. I don't even know if you can hear it in the stadium. I know the people dancing on the field. The sad truth is that football is way more fun to watch at home. This is not me complaining. I will say though, I was in the press box that in Atlanta a couple years ago. flex you can't hear the halftime show

in the press box however and I don't know how I don't know what SOFI is like I haven't been to SOFI before High Fitz and I

are going to be in the auxiliary media place okay that's something that's that's what it's called all right press box

yes that's why I found it great podcast and so when I was in Miami I was in the auxiliary and that was just in the stands

oh that was like you got to actually experience the halftime show it was really fun but anyway the bet is this is the worst story ever. Thanks, David. Did you just say all of that

just to... My point is we're going to be at the game. I don't know if we're going to be able to hear it or not. So, also, we skip to... Long story short. The halftime show, because it's in L.A., is Dr. Dre. Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dog, Eminem, and Mary J. Blage. Yeah. Did you say Blage? Blige. Mary J. Blige.

My dad's just... He's like Snoop Dogg. It's Will Snoop. It says there's Snoop Doggaga. Will Snoop. There's multiple G's. What? Sorry. What was the best? Children?

Craig is quiet down. It's quiet coyote. Will Snoop Dog smoke on stage? Yes, is even odds. Wow. You bet 10, you receive 10. No is minus 1.30s. The favorite is slightly leaning towards no.

You know what I was thinking about with this? That's interesting. My first thought... I feel like it's literally Snoop decides this six minutes before he goes up. No, but my first thought, I had three thoughts in this. My first one was the NFL would never allow it. My second thought is... He wouldn't care.

It's legal in Los Angeles, and you can't actually control Snoop's So it does. My third thought, and this is the one I am curious about, I've never actually seen him smoke. What? Or not never, but like he actually, in most appearances, not never, but like, in most of his guest appearances, he's not smoking as much as he's just, like, very obviously high. But, like, other than, like, ones where the bit is he's smoking and, like, he's in Amsterdam or something. Like, when he's, like, just very high with Martha Stewart, he's not smoking. He's just, like, it's, like, this unspoken thing.

Yeah. I mean, he's always high. I think he's, like, 99% of the time. But how many, like, he's probably, like, the number one guest of our lifetime. Like, every show that's, like, good is, like, like, an A-list thing, the A-list guest to have is, like, Snoot Dog. Just in general? I feel like he's talking about guys who like to smoke. No, I feel like he's just, like a common guest.

Like, people are like, oh, we got Snoop Dog. Yeah, I mean, he does that. He's very media available. That's what I'm saying. And, but, like, of those things, percentage-wise, how many of those he's actually smoking something versus just actually high, but you don't see the smoking? That's true. But there are a lot of, like, YouTube videos of, like, him just, like, chilling with celebrities. smoking. That's big. But that's different than the half time. I actually think it's a no.

Yeah, I probably leaned that way too. Also, like, I don't know. There's just like a lot going on, like a lot of coordination, just like a lot to like do. It's like, yeah. The half done show. You remember when we talked about his, uh, his joint roller? Oh yeah. And how much money they make? Oh, yeah. What was it like 50 something? You know what? That is, that is like being a kicker. Yeah, you only, only something goes wrong. No, that's his only job. Like, you get paid so much money to do one single thing. He rolls. And you only think about your name when you screw it up. Yeah, when you see By the way,

we got a lot, that's what I'm saying. We figured it out. We got a lot of emails about that. I think we'll compile them at some point in the future here. What's really going to be funny is when Snoop Dogg obviously

immediately starts smoking on stage and we're like, wow, we really go. She brand that. No, but here's, no, I don't feel like it's fucking Snoop Dogg.

Yeah. Why are these odds so even then? Well, so, because it's a funny thing to bet on. Here's my real question, and I don't, there's no bet associated with this. The halftime show's like,

what, 13 minutes? It's a long time. are a lot of people to bring on. Like Eminem, like Kendrick and Dr. Dre have done songs together and Dre and Dre and Eminem songs.

I'm just curious how they break down the actual songs they do. Yeah. Like, do they each get one song? Like Eminem's got to do lose yourself, right? If Eminem is there, they have to do lose yourself. Well, I imagine, yeah, maybe.

He's also probably going to do his stuff with Dr. Dre. Like, that's what I'm wondering. Does everyone... Forgot about Dre probably? I don't know. Is that what you want to do? I think the lock is though

it's about LA. So like Drey, and or Kendrick, like they both have songs about Los Angeles, and I feel like you have to have one and or both of them, or maybe just like the Drey part of... Yeah, yeah, yeah, or just the Drey part of California love. I don't know, but anyway, I just curiously

they break down four artists in 13 seconds. I hope they have the big mirror that the weekend had to maneuver through. Oh my God. Well, you know, that's actually the secret challenge is like the pop stars who can't dance. They just do like this little awkward wiggle, but like it... Remember Lefshark? Oh, my. We never were able to get Left Shark on the Lestark.

was like the funny, like, you know where there should be a bet is... Funniest meme ever. Will the halftime show, will there be a viral meme created over the halftime show? That's a good one. Did we ever tell people,

so like, we talked about Left Shark on the pod last year, and we got in contact with Left Shark because people, we were emailing back and forth, and he was like actually receptive for coming on. It was like,

what are we going to talk about? And we were like... That was the question there. And we were like, yeah. Yeah, good point. We have such funny relationships with the most like random,

like G-level celebrities Steven Glansberg Yeah The actor We like have the real person Corresponded with him Yeah Also Left Shark

We don't have a ton of guests And I really I really regret Not getting enough shark Left Shark on the park Left Shark maybe saved my life Left Shark was The Left Shark was

The funny meme from the Super Bowl Where the Seawks lost In the final play And if I didn't have those memes I don't know where I would have been You know Could have been like face down In some abandoned pool somewhere

Left Sharks Shark got me through it. It was the fucking funniest thing I've ever seen. Not really, but it was very funny. All right, let's trigger DK. How many times will the chains be used for measurement? Yeah. This is the only reason to actually look forward to this because of the bet.

I hope that they don't come out at all. I would be way better off if we don't see the chain game. I think the answer is over for the short reason that like... Coaches are going to... Challenges potentially. Yeah. Coaches can just request one and it's the freaking super. and they're going to be obnoxious about it.

That's not a bad point. So you need two. You need two measure one per team? It's essentially even odds. Let's do it. Let's go over. But now we're rooting for measurements like freaking morons. Will there be a taunting penalty?

Yes is plus 160, no is minus 120. Wow. My first instinct was absolutely. And then I remembered, you know, the Tiger Kill piece sign and like... And they didn't call that. And they didn't call that. So maybe there's this directive where you're like, don't, yeah, let's... I kind of think it's...

You know what the irony is... You know what the irony is... The irony is one of the reasons they created it was, I think, Antoine Winfield, Jr., who was the Buck Safety when he picked off Mahomes. I think it was a pick six, and he gave Tyree Kill the peace sign as he returned the pick six.

Oh, yeah. And I think, I think, I believe, John's owner John Mayer, and like a lot of the, I don't know the term, older crotchety men were like, we can't have that on the broadcast. We can have a technical term, yeah.

Peace signs being wielded at other players. So we, they came up with the... Brandished. You can't brandish a piece sign. How dare you? And a game where two people sprint full speech. at one another head to head. Which has measurably like just akin to nothing else but like a car accident.

But meanwhile, I think it's funny that a year later we're in the Super Bowl and we're like, it does feel like they'll tone down the taunting poutics because they don't want to like... Because they don't want everyone bitching about it. It's like how in the final play of the basketball game, they just like don't cough out. They just can't have that be the memorable. Like they cannot have six months of us talking about the Super Bowl was sworn by taunting bounty. I think that's right. Is Hockey in this game, by the way?

No way. I hope so. I don't know. give this game. I actually don't know. However, that's Hoculi. Oh, yeah. Wait, is it really? He was in the middle of an explanation.

However, he like raises his game. He was like, the ball did not reach the first down marker. However, it is still Kansas City's ball. He's like, wait, what? Ron Torbert. I'm not going to lie, I don't know who that is. Ron. That's a good thing because he's not famous for being...

That's the best take. Getting his ass like in the middle of the game and trying to be the star of the show. It's like usual suspects. It's like the best trick the devil ever made was making you think he didn't exist. That's a ref. Yeah.

That's actually a really good comparison. Thank you. I forgot about the rest. Okay. What else we got? Okay, this is really stupid. Coin toss. Oh, tails, easily. Do you know that it's like 75% of the Super Bowl tosses

last 10 years or something have been tails? Sal had some bet where it's like the team that has won the coin toss has lost the last seven Super Bowls. Oh, my God. That is crazy. Wait, say that again? The teams that win the coin toss have lost seven straight Super Bowls, I think is what it sounds like. Really? Wait.

Wow. I actually wish we had prepared. So are they deferred? I actually wish we had prepared. Probably. Catchphrase. I actually wish we had prepared. Is that because they're all deferred?

That's crazy. Isn't it? But anyway, the reason why I like the coin toss? Isn't it? Anyway. The coin toss is, the odds are heads minus 105, tails, minus 105. It's the best odds you can get for the Super Bowl. That's a 50-50 shot. Because most

other... This is minus 110. This is minus 105. So you can get the best... You get the closest to actually getting your money back on this bet. And it's like a quick snort of cocaine before the game, you know? I don't think... I don't know if you've ever done it's exactly what it's like. Because I don't think that's ever been compared to a coin toss. Well, it depends how much money you put down. You toss a couple Gs, a couple bands on the coin toss. You hit heads and you're just fired up for the rest of the game.

seen in Ricky Bobby when he's like, are you got kilos of Colombian band band? I think it's fine. Toss 20 bucks on the coin toss and live a little. I think it's fine. Thanks, Craig. Craig thinks it's fine. Craig, I want to everyone know that Craig is

actually a financial advisor and can give financial... No, no. It's fine. Can we get sued if he's not a financial advisor? Don't take advice. You assume me. Don't take any advice from us on gambling, by the way. Can I give one more to you guys? Yes. I mean, I feel like you will, whatever we say. Either team to score two unanswered times.

the yes isn't two two that's not very much yeah the no is plus 2 500 25 to 1 yes is no so basically so it would have to be one team one it would have to alternate scoring for the entire game yeah 25 to 1 wait this is actually this is one of those math problems that's like deceptively harder to figure out what is the actual odds of that happening because it's not you know just like rams score then bengal score then rams score than Bengals score. I mean, there can be punts in between. I'm just like, that's not that crazy. No, that's like crazy because it's like, all right, let's see how bad I am at math. People who are listening to... You're actually going to do this?

We're going to do this. You're good at math. I'm just going to say, so the Rams score. And then the next team, let's just perfectly even odds. The next score to the score is 50%. Right? Well, no, the Bengals have much better odds because they get the ball. You know, but for the sake of the fucking live math on air, correct. God damn it. Like, the next person scores 50%. But you know, but you know, the Bengals have to do it. need the Bengals to score. So that's

50% right there, right? And then the next team has to be the Rams. So now we're down to 25%. Yeah, it's like a coin clip. And the next team has to be the Rams is 12 and a half percent. And the next team scores. So like if there's, I don't know what, not 10 score. That's very small odds. Yeah, but my, but

those odds are not accurate, right? Because like when the Bengals have the ball, like their shot of scoring next is way higher than the Rams. But in the beginning of the game, didn't we say it was going to be the under? And we thought the Rams defense would hit up the bangles a lot. No, true. But I'm just saying like, it could go like, Rams touchdown punt punt, punt, bengal steel goal punt. Right.

You know, Rams touchdown punt. Here's my official analysis. You're taking the fun out of this. You know why? Because I did research live. You well out. I mean, I think you could technically, I don't know if I would call that research. Yeah, because I actually think your research is flawed.

I don't really think any of that made sense. Really? I thought that sounded smart. Did it not? A different question. Vaguely, like broadly galactic scale made sense. I don't think any of your numbers were anything fucking close to what they needed to be.

I just cut the numbers at half from 100% to zero. I think you're right in a vacuum. It's like two I, right? It's like half life. It's just cuts in half every time. But you are definitely not factoring in the fact that the odds are way different because the Bengals will get the ball. What is it again?

14 to 1? 25 to 1? I think the fact that it's 25 to 1 suggests that it's actually a 2% possibility. I want to bet this just to make Hafe it's mad. I will put a bet on this right now. Listen, this is number 25 on our list. I did not feel that passionally, I was like, this is fun.

What if it went back and throws it? And now I'm doing math live on air to just prove it. Okay. We're going to have a math petition email us and tell us how just whack hyphids is like analysis was on that. Can you email us at Reader Fantasy Football at Gmail.com and tell me if I was right or wrong and like how right or wrong I was? Feel free to be snarky too. Yeah, snark it up.

Bring a fantasy football at Gmail. Does anybody have any else? Anything else? I mean, there's literally like a 900 more prop bets, but I think that's it. Yeah, that's all I got. No one's got any of the thing. On the dogs, it's over. What you say?

Over dogs. Over seven dogs. I think I'm talking about. Not underdogs, my bad. First kickoff will not be a touchback. Thank me later. Okay. That's fun.

Do you want to do an email or two? What do you want to do the emails? Yeah, sure. Let's read one or two. So we got a lot of emails about senior pranks. On the last show, on the Rear NFL draft show that we posted last week, we talked about senior pranks and what mine was. And BT Dubs, like, we will be doing the NFL draft show. this is our last Thursday episode like

or sorry, yeah, Thursday episode looking at games obviously because it's last game, but every Thursday going forward, we're going to have NFL draft shows Tuesdays and Thursdays with So-Lek, Dek, Craig and I, if you haven't heard, like, I think it's awesome and it's really fun. Solek brings an incredible extra element to this pod and

like it's been awesome. So every Tuesday and Thursday, I really think that we're making cool stuff for the draft, so please check that out. Yeah, DK and Solek are just a well of knowledge. Don't go anywhere. Don't change that job. The sounded mildly threatening. Don't leave.

Don't. All right. Don't do it. I'm going to read a couple of these. This is from Jeff. Jeff. This is what he says. Jeff says hello.

Not sure if this is California. Can I say more? Not sure if this is California specific, but there are a ton of seagulls that would always fly around our quad, especially during lunch. I can tell you, Jeff, I don't know where you went to high school.

I went to high school in the Bay Area. Tons of seagles everywhere in the quad. What a different life, Craig, has led. Seagles everywhere. Massive problem. But not anymore. Scourge of the sky If you get to the end of this email.

He says the seniors, before my graduating class for their senior prank, put a bunch of laxatives in bread, food, et cetera, for the seagals to eat. Stop it.

With the great idea that the next day they would just shit everywhere. Turns out, human laxatives do not work the same on seagels. I was going to say,

and instead of shitting their brains out, the next day, there were hundreds of dead seagels scattered across the roofs and quad. That is traumatic. That is the craziest. senior prank gone wrong I've ever heard of. That's bad.

They killed hundreds of seagulls. Unbelievable. This is why the Super Bowl MVP is not going to mention God or's family. He's going to talk about the Sebel life. This is brutal. Yeah, I think I didn't like that. I refuse to laugh at that.

Come on. You laugh so you don't cry. RIP because I'm happy about it. I laugh because my brain isn't a process mass trauma, D.K. At least Jeff's not complicit. This was the crime. I wouldn't put that in writing either.

I were Jeff. myth to killing all those seagulls. It's probably a crime. Right. Okay. This next one... I'm not... That was...

It's unbelievable. That's crazy. I mean, like, kind of genius, like the idea, it's like, yo, we'll give the birds... It's like Nathan Fielder. That isn't the plan, to give the birds lax.

Oh, it's definitely a crime. They killed a bunch of animals. Yeah. It's bad. But it was by accident. So, you know, it's like... Was it... Do you think they intended to kill them?

Can you just Google? Can I feed laxas? These are probably like seniors. Seniors in high school. Dumbass high school. On high school kids, just be like... Famous for researching. What if we just gave birds laxatives?

That's literally as far as I went. Yeah. Okay. This next one here is from Brandon. Brandon. He says, hey gang, listening to you guys. This one's more just like cool and unique. Listen to you guys discussing your pranks.

Did he kill a lot of things in this? Tell me in advance of the kills. There's no one dies. Okay, thank you. He says, my best friend Q was a swimmer in high school, so he had doubles of 6 a.m. Swim practices followed by 3 p.m. practices after school. Needless to say, he spent a lot of... a lot of time around the gym and the pool. One day after school, he simply asked me, do you want to see

the trophy room? I said, sure, and then was completely confused and caught off guard when he led me to one of the bathrooms off the wing of the gymnasium pool area. He walked into one of the stalls and stepped onto the toilet seat, lifted the ceiling tile above said toilet, and climbed into the freaking ceiling. He had me follow him, and we basically were in the attic of the school. More accurately, we were walking along catwalks above the gym and pool. We walked probably 500 feet of sketchy, squeaky metal pouring, and we eventually came upon a small, dark, dirty room piled with small trophies and chalices. Chalises?

A chalices. That's important. Q proceeded to have me pick out one of the trophies from the piles, which all had different versions of, and he puts in quotes, 1971 state qualifier, javelin thrower, 1999 cross-country sectionals champion, etc. He told me about how all the seniors on the swim team every year would break into this old dusty storage room that you were only supposed to access from a locked janitor's closet by going through the Narnia-style toilet ceiling and they would steal a trophy. Then bring it to college as they're drinking chalice for parties. It has become a tradition.

So every year a senior climbs into this thing. Risks death. Risks death. They're going to fall through the ceiling. Steals a chalice and takes it to college to drink out of. That is one of the coolest. It's not really a senior prank because it's like one person. Cool. Was that who are cool?

It's a good tradition. What do you think it is? I don't know. To be honest with you, you don't really distracted me that he kept calling his friend Q and I started thinking about this as like a Q-in-on. Is this James Bond? This guy's name is Brendan, too. I just got distracted by calling it.

So then Q led me through the catwalk above the school, and I was like, oh no. Anyway, I thought that was fucking insane. Also, the thing that I thought of, great story and interesting. Yeah. The thing, I hung up on two things. Number one. Okay. You have to climb through the ceiling through a toilet.

That part, I got hung up on that part. What? It's probably the easiest way to access whatever tunnel in the sky. Okay. Oh, okay, that makes more sense. And the second, uh, 1971 state qualifiers, javelin thrower. I think it's hilarious slash scary that they let high school kids throw javelins. I'm trying to think.

Why? I think my high school does javelins. They're giant spears. Yeah, like don't stand in front of the kid. They're allowed to drive cars. Yeah, those are like way worse than javelins. Sure. That's true, actually.

Maybe we should stop doing that, by the way 15 and a half years. Maybe we should stop letting kids drive. Dude, that's... By the way. I actually do feel pretty strongly about that I just realized. I don't know if my high school had javelins, but I don't think it's because it was like a safety thing.

You're throwing giant spears. Yeah. You don't think that's like... I think kids texting and driving is like infinitely worse. How about like playing tackle football like 14? I mean, fine. We're younger. Okay.

Anyway, that's how we got. Thank you for those. Do we want to do one more? Oh yeah, we can. One from Sammy. Sammy. She says, hey guys, love the show. You help me make the playoffs in my husband's league the first time playing this year.

Nice. Several of the guys in her senior class were good. I mean really good with cars. Okay. This is a great one. They went to a junkyard. Just picturing the movie Greece. Sorry, that's probably way too old.

I've seen Greece. They went to a junkyard and found this beat-up old beetle and they bought it. And they all pitched in to paint it with the class name, their graduation dates, And then like, I guess their mask was a bear, so they had bear paws on it. And they cut the side of the car and they took the top and the bottom off. And then one night in the middle of the night, they went to school and welded the car around the school's flagpole. That's good. And the administration doesn't have a welding torch.

So they were stuck with a flagpole. We got to call Johnny. This flagpole looks like it grown out of the torch. Beatle. and they literally couldn't remove it for like a month. That is amazing. Isn't that? I like the pranks a lot where people use like legit skills to do something funny.

It says the next year the school installed cameras on the outside of the building. So that's incredible. That is really good. Thank you, Big Bear Band. Wow. So shout out to that. That's a good one. When she started telling the story, reminded me when we were in high school, we used to pick up my friend.

She had a, I don't know, it was like a Ford something. It was like really small. We used to pick up her car and like turn it and like move it. Oh, yeah. But this is way better. You know what's great about that? It's good, clean, fun. Yeah.

Like, no one got hurt, no one has to clean it up. It doesn't actually matter. No seagulls died, I believe, zero seagulls died. That's the important part of this story, yeah. No seagulls were harmed. No seagulls were harmed. Okay, I think that's all we got. Yeah, we're in a little long, but it's like, I'm in person.

It's like, I talk to you guys all day. I now understand why people who record in person just like go for two hours talking about nothing. Yeah. Be careful. When Bill was like, hey, just get to the meat of it at the start of the show. And I get now why people are just like, have you seen any movies lately? You just like start talking.

You're like, hey. Okay. So you've seen any of the movies? No. Thank you for listening. We got a Sunday award show coming for you after the Super Bowl. We're going to give out our Sunday awards. And then after that, our feed will just be the NFL draft show.

Like, we're going to be going draft with D.K. Solek's going to join us for like the duration through draft season. And it's going to be awesome. Like we have a lot plan for you. And like, like, Combine's coming up for agencies happening. Like a lot of draft stuff. And it's going to be awesome. We have fun.

And like, we really are. trying to teach you about the draft, but also, like, just have fun. So that's every Tuesday and Thursday on our feed. Emails that ring your fantasy football at Gmail. They come with your draft questions. Like, we want your draft questions. We're trying to incorporate it in the show. And yeah, give us your feedback.

Yeah, we're compiling them already. So thank you for people that have sent those. Yes. So with all that said, this was the worst best of the Super Bowl. Thank you, D.K. Thank you, Craig. Thank you in advance for SOLA who's going to be joining us. Thank you to everyone who's emailed us.

We are sorry if we weren't able to get back. to everyone, but we were reading all of them. Thank you. And thank you to, like, all the people who did not kill the seagulls. Like, thank you to everyone who's not murdered. I'd love to get one of those kids on here and just ask if they feel any remorse. Should we do it anonymously and, like, mess up their voice so, like, they don't. Yeah, it's like a bunch of... I feel really bad.

I wanted the spring for the brain namroxas. Or, I bet you there was, like... I bet you the group of seniors, the majority of them all thought it was hilarious, but there was one kid who felt really bad, but he didn't want to say anything. Like me on this pod? Yeah, and he didn't want them to think he was like super lame. I'm the one that's like, this is not that funny. And they're like really funny, right, Danny? And you're like, yeah.

It's horrifying. To be clear, it's not like we were a fan of it. I just, how do you react to that and not let? It's just, it's absurd. Yeah. Oh my God. Don't act. Don't be holier than now.

This is my best guilt trip ever. Don't be holier than now. It's like, I, it's. Sorry, you guys laughed at the murder of Seagels. It was not a murder. It was murder. No, no, that's murder. Involuntary manslaughter.

You know what that's called? Second-degree murder. That's a, there's a whole word for it. It's premeditated. No, that's not. You're right, actually, it wasn't. No, it's, they didn't mean. You know what, I'm not a lawyer.

Don't even take any. Okay. Goodbye, everyone. Thank you, Lorne. Lauren. Thank you, Mickey Geithen. Under 95 seconds. No, it's 100 now.

Oh, under 100 seconds. Will you rescind the thank you if she goes over? No, because I appreciate that it's very nerve-wracking. I want to go live on Green Room just for that minute. Should we do that? That's funny. Yeah. Oh my God.

I just want to hear me. I just want to see Craig. Screaming. Okay, wait. Craig is just like getting up. Yep it up, Mickey! Email us if you're into that, maybe we'll do it.

If we actually get some buzz that people want to ask Pat, it's okay. I think it's fine. What are you talking about? I get to start one. Oh, that's true. It's public.

I think that's a hilarious. Craig, he's like, I'm going over their head. I'm going over the bus. No, we can't be talking in the press box during the National Anthem. Fine, I'll go solo. Much like Mickey. I'm going to be on there, but I'll be muted.

You know what? You should do, we cannot be talking to press, but you should do that. That would be really funny. Yeah, I'm down. You just have to disrespect the national anthem and I host a live show during national anthem. I don't know. Sounds extremely disrespectful, but like it's fine. Yeah, that's true.

All right. Well, on that lovely note, thank you for listening. Goodbye. All right, Rams minus four. Rams winning exactly by three.
