WRFH/Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM - The Social Skinny: Does Travis Kelce give Taylor Swift the "ick"?

Episode Date: February 19, 2024

This week, SK and Kamden share their hot takes on the recent Super Bowl game, break down PETA's fight to save Punxsutawney Phil, and give their opinions on Beyoncé breaking into the country music game. 

Hi, y'all. Welcome back to The Social Skinny. Sorry, we've been MIA for a couple of weeks. I had to go home for a family emergency. And now we're back. Yeah, now we're back. And we're ready to talk about some big things that have been happening recently. I will say, silver lining of you being gone, we have so much to talk about. So true. Because so many things happen while we were apart. So it's like now we can catch up and give our opinions and have it recorded for everyone to listen to. Exactly, yeah. Namely, I guess it will start with a week ago. So unfortunately, we didn't get to watch the Super Bowl together. I know. But a lot happened with that outside of the realm of the actual game and everyone's talking about it. First and foremost, I will say, even though this is old news, it should have been the Lions. I'm still disturbed about that. You know, I really thought it was our year. And I really thought it was our year. And, I I had a lot of people back home banking on it, you know, literally losing their minds, thinking that it was going to be our year. And it wasn't, which was really disappointing. I hate that we have to wait a whole other year to see if they can pull through again.

But, so, you know, I'll say that. I wasn't super, you know, invested in this game, given my team didn't make it and they should have. Well, I'm sure a lot of people can share that sentiment with you, you know, everyone wants their team to win. I know, but I know, it was different for y'all. You'll never, you'll have literally never, ever, ever, literally never, ever, ever, even ever seen a Super Bowl game. So I can understand how that would be very disappointing.

Okay. Well, but there's always next year. So the first thing I'm going to do is rake Travis Kelsey against the Coles. I literally, go for it. I thought the Viva Las Vegas thing was the most obnoxious thing I've ever seen. Okay, here's the deal. I can understand a little bit of where you're coming from when he started that the first time, you know, the first few seconds that Viva's coming out of his mouth. I'm not going to lie to you. I got like, you know, my heart stopped a little bit because I was kind of on the edge of my seat. I was just really hoping that everyone was going to respond. Thankfully, they did. So it was like all fine. But I'm not going to lie to you and say that I wasn't a little bit nervous. I'm like, what if nobody responds? That would be so awkward. I think Taylor Swift got the ick. Really? Did you see her face in those clips? snow. They would go back and forth between him absolutely grunting Viva Las Vegas to her and she had the most sick smile on her face. I think she just or maybe she was just smitten. I think she looked

ached out. I was, I don't know. I think she knew that she was on camera and she knew they were going to be panning to her and so it was like, I better smile and look so proud of my man or I'm going to look real dumb and it came across as like an icked out like okay mm-hmm babe you do that that was the vibe and it really grossed me out well I mean what are you going to say is a two-time Super Bowl champ so is it really just two I thought it was more I don't know two in a row at least they won last year and they won this year so two in a row I don't know if I'll look it up I mean Tom Brady's of course like the Super Bowl go he has like six right

I'm not sure with the Patriots and the Buccaneers but you know what can you do really but also the Viva Las Vegas continued I don't remember where he said it the other time

but he said it at like another event it was like later it's like his thing is it his thing or was it just because they were in Vegas he's won three Super Bowls three okay so yeah that's what I'm saying thing is it's like, you know what, win three Super Bowls and you can kind of say whatever you want.

You know what my favorite part of the Super Bowl was? What? Brock Purdy. Have you heard of him? No. He was the last round pick in the draft. Oh, wait, didn't you? You sent me something about it.

I did. So basically, what do they call him? The last round pick is like Mr. Undesirable or something. I need to look up exactly what the name is. If you are the last round pick name or whatever it's called. But basically, he was their third string. Mr. Irrelevant is what it is. I think he was their third string quarterback, maybe fourth.

Everyone before him got hurt. So he had to play. He was phenomenal, becomes a huge star of the 49ers. And then, of course, was like the. quarterback during the Super Bowl absolutely killed it. He was so good. He's such a sweet guy. He's a great Christian. He talks about God all the time. He has a fiancee. They're a super sweet couple. I just, he was like an unsung hero of the game. Like I just, I, even though the 49ers beat the lions, like I. Unsung hero. I should have been, I should have hated the 49ers. I should have

thought, nope, I'm going to, I would spite cheer for the chiefs because. The 49ers beat the lions. But no, I was, I was the 49ers biggest fan because I just, I loved Brock Purdy. So fair. He's easy on the eyes, too. I won't say too much because he's engaged and then be inappropriate. And this is on the radio. But no, he's just, he's great.

He's like all American, like, he's just, he's sweet. He's really sweet. And I, it's awesome. I really loved that. He was so unapologetic about, you know, his faith. That was a really nice moment. That's great. Yeah, I miss that. I will have to say I pretty much only watched the fourth quarter and I was watching it in a hospital room. So I didn't get to see any of the Usher business or anything like that. Oh, it was odd. It was odd. He was a little too friendly with Alicia Keys. A little too friendly. That's always awkward. I never, I always like wonder when they have like, you know, when artists will like do collabs or mashups like that on stage and they like have.

you know partners significant others wives husbands but then they have to like kind of play a part a little bit I mean I guess it's not much different than people doing it in movies right but like the movie feels like a little bit more of a necessity it's like part of the script you know I mean there are some actor I can't remember who it was but someone said recently that he won't do scenes like that yeah yeah which I thought I mean that was it was the oh it was the guy who he plays a lot of villain roles or whatever I know you're talking about because he was like oh if you go home at the end of the day I know

that that was just acting me being like the bad guy but like if I kissed some other girl at the end of the day that's not I can't take that back I was like so valid king I know I thought that was a great stance to have it was it was interesting I think the roller skating was interesting I didn't see it yet he was doing a lot of roller skating

that was a moment and after you know after the show all these videos of usher roller skating in random roller rinks like across the country all these videos were like surfacing. So he like loves to skate. Well, I don't know. He's a skating guy. He skates. Well, it was also him practicing. But like no one knew that he was going to be roller skating in the Super Bowl show. So people would take videos of Usher roller skating. And they'd be like, this is so weird. Usher's roller skating right now. And it was because he was practicing. That's hilarious. I feel like someone like him with like the time and money he has like, I feel like he could just like get a little rink in his house or something. You'd think. Maybe he kind of wanted to have those Easter eggs or something. to see if anyone guessed that it was going to be in the show, I know. So it was interesting.

I, my vote next year is that it's Miley Cyrus. Yeah, she'd do a great job. And I didn't know this. I actually looked it up while I was watching the show. But basically the city that hosts the Super Bowl, they decide who the halftime show is going to be. I didn't know that. Maybe I was just dumb. But basically the NFL will give the city a short list of people. that they approve and then from there the city picks. So Las Vegas picked Usher. Gotcha. Do with that information what you will. That means we're going to go hate on Vegas then. I was going to say, wasn't he like doing a residency there or something? I feel like everyone does a residency there. Right, but I'm just saying, I don't know. I have no idea if it correlated like the crossover or whatever, but. Oh, I don't know either. If that means like he was extra popular in Vegas recently. Yeah, he might be. That's so valid. Just a reminder that you're listening to the Social Skinny here on Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM.

Okay, so Camden just pulled up an image of Brock Purdy and I'm going to say, you know what, Camden, he's all yours. He looks about 14 to me. No, he does not. He does. Oh my goodness. He does not look 14. So I'll stay on my Kelsey Brother train. He's 24.

He's literally R-A. I mean, we're 21, but he's our age. Okay. Well, that explains a lot. I will stay on the Kelsey train all day long. Jason and Travis, number one fan. Okay. Whatever. I, as I've said, I find them obnoxious, but.

I mean, what do you expect? You wouldn't, like, if you were that, you know, you'd want to be, that's part of their MO. Is it like, honestly, that's why I was never rooting for the 49ers. I have no, I was, like, confused. He's like, why don't you? And I was like, no, I'm, like, I love. Why was your dad confused? that you weren't rooting for the 49ers. You're from Dallas, Texas. That wouldn't be like a

given that you'd root for the 49ers. For the Super Bowl? Yeah. It's San Francisco. What does that have to be with? Okay, but why would I, why would I about it? Because he was like more of just that like a lot of people didn't want to see the Chiefs win again. Oh, valid. That's like a common thing. So valid. Come for my next tomorrow, I don't you? I'm not trying to you. I just didn't, I didn't understand the correlation. Well, you just made it, you made it sound like it was so obvious that like you should have been rooting for the Chiefs instead of the 49ers. No, I just didn't realize that there would be any situation where it would be obvious that you would be cheering for one over the other, given that you were from Dallas, Texas. And you have America's team.

I know, I do. Sucks for y'all. Even though they've been saying the lions are America's team now. No one says that. Everyone says that. I've seen it all over the internet. The thing is I'm like, we came up with that. So how about you come up with your own thing?

That's the beauty and like the appeal of the cowboys is that, you know, we're just pioneers. We come up with our own branding or the underdogs. and y'all can't even come up with your own slogan. You want to steal ours. Did you know that Detroit is hosting the draft this year? I'm sure they are. It's probably after all, you know. It's okay.

Detroit will never be. We could go. It's free to go. Detroit will never be D-Town again. Okay. It's okay. If you say so. It's dying.

Detroit's like actually the best it's probably ever been. It's like they're doing a lot down there and they're making it a way better city than it used to be. That's awesome. That's awesome. I'm honestly not that pressed. I don't know why I'm not from there. But no, it's the Kelsey's I just, well, I think, I mean, they're fine.

They're fine. I really shouldn't be such a hater. They are both very good football players. I just think they're a little loud. Oh, well, that's what I was saying before you so aggressively cut me off. is I was saying is I would like I was always rooting well once it got to like down to just the final two I was always rooting for the chiefs because I like I love that you know I kind of love an obnoxious winner they're a character they're kind of characters yes exactly I love that people like mm you know hot

it's like giving trisha pateous oh okay I'm gonna if I ever see Travis Kelsey I'm going to tell him that you think that he's just like trisha patus I think he'll love to hear that I think so too she's rich and famous. Okay. I mean, I love Trisha. I think she's hilarious. Yeah, that was my point is. I was like, that's the appeal of the Kelsey's, the appeal of she's.

I'm like, yep, I love a loud, obnoxious winter because people get pressed and you can't because they're good. So it's like people are bitter impressed because they're worse than them. And it's like, boohoo, go cry about it. I will. I know you will. I know you will. I'll stand behind Brock Purdy. I'll be his biggest fan.

Go for it. Yeah, I will. because he's a great guy with great morals He's he's fighting the fight And I I love that for him Yeah for real Also still literally technically on the second best team in the country

We're acting as if they didn't You know get technically at second place like Yeah And you could always say second is the first to lose I was gonna say I don't know if everyone thinks about it that way But it's like they are technically But also I've seen like so many conspiracies now more than ever about like the NFL just being like you know right but then for it to be scripted this time

it would have had to be the Ravens because the colors on the I'm not even logo were blue in or not blue purple and red I'm not I'm not even saying about like the colors necessarily I'm just saying about like more than ever this year in terms of how much like I think PR has been a part of it and like people playing up stuff because it's like for the view whatever yeah yeah the he's being at the center of that. Mm-hmm. So do with that way you will. So recently also,

Pugs Satani Phil. Yes. He said we're going to have an early spring. I hope he's right. He better be. I know. I'm getting about sick and tired. This is my third winter in Michigan,

and it's been three too many, honestly. I literally... You're going to be fun. I get the... No, you... Yeah. No, I get the rough end of those sticks,

all right? I didn't realize till recently that seasonal depression exists in Dallas, too. It's just during the summer from the heat. Boo-hoo. Oh, my gosh. But it's the same thing.

And I'm like, I'm freaking here for the four-month-long winter. And then I go home for the summer. And I'm like, I get the worst end of both sides of the six. So it's like. Okay. You can have that opinion if you like. Tuesday's going to be 46 and sunny. Wednesday's going to be 54.

Thursday is going to be 53. We have a little, looks like a cold front coming in this weekend. But then Sunday's going to be 47. sunny. That will be beautiful. Monday, 52 and sunny. Literally amazing. And then Tuesday, 57. That's like shorts weather. I'm so excited. It's going to be so nice. I mean, yeah, that's definitely better than what it has been. So Phil's pulling through thus far. But PETA's pretty pressed. Pita is pressed. I didn't know this would be something that they'd care about, but they literally want to quote unquote free.

Punksitani Phil. Free fool. Literally free Phil. I've heard like, I feel like grumblings about it in past years, but I never heard, or maybe it's new this year, that thing you were reading earlier. Right. They want to replace him with a human being. They do.

In a groundhog suit. They do. Do you have the little blurb? I do, and I'll read it for everyone. PETA says that ahead of Groundhog Day, Pita made an offer to Tom Dunkel, president of the Puxetani Groundhog Club's inner circle that would ennated. the group to retire Pungzatani Phil, yet still attract tourists. Allow a Pita philanthropist to live in Phil's sad little enclosure and take his place predicting

the weather, with at least as much accuracy. If the club sends Phil and his companion, Phyllis, to a reputable sanctuary, 36-year-old Amber Canavan from Portland, Oregon, will gladly travel to Pennsylvania to take Phil's place, live as he does now in the town library, live stream her monotonous life all year long, and give an equally unscientific weather forecast on February 2nd, even wearing a groundhog costume if that's what the club wants. Punksitani Phil did not consent to living in a library where he's denied the opportunity to hibernate, dig, borough, explore, or do anything else that matters to a groundhog, says Canavan. But I would gladly take Phil's place if it will spare him a tedious life, punctuated only by the confusion and terror of being dangled in front

of a noisy crowd every year. I mean, I guess in a way, their point kind of makes sense because it's like, okay, he is in a Kate, but also how is it any different than a zoo? But I guess Pete is probably against a zoo, aren't they? Probably they only want them to be in the like habit of retreats that they have, which is like the same difference. Honestly, I think Phil's all right. I think he's fairing better than he would be in the wild. He'd probably be dinner by now. But I will say, just for the sake of wanting to see it, I would be okay with that because I would like to see Amber in a groundhog suit on live stream. I would really enjoy that. Yeah, they'd be interesting. Like for all year you get a live streamer? That's what she says. I think it, I think they'd bring about a different

crowd. I think so too. It would, um, it would pander to a different demographic of American, but yeah, absolutely. Teach their own. I just think that's outrageous, but I'm so here for it though. Amber, That sounds fun to you, girl. Do it. You've been listening to The Social Skinny here on Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM. Pucks a tawny fill is not exactly accurate. No. His accuracy rating thus far is only something around 39%. So really you would be better off flipping a coin.

But, you know, he's cute, so we love him for that. He's kind of a personality higher. So I think we can kind of relate in that in that aspect. Yeah, yeah. So I'm here for Phil. I say we should keep him around. I agree. I second that.

In other news recently, a bunch of people have been releasing new music. In chronological order, I know Billy Joel released his first single in like decades a couple weeks ago, which is pretty good. Did you ever listen to it? I know I sent it to you. I didn't. I'm sorry. I was going to. I had really good intentions.

I just, I forget. Like you have to kind of remind me a couple times. That's all right. Yeah. Or just force me into it. Just sit me down and play it. So fair. I will later.

Okay. I was really pleasantly surprised. I've honestly listened to it like on repeat for a couple days in a row. But I feel like a lot of times with like older artists when they release new music, I think sometimes they'll try too hard to create something that is like fits into like the 2024 or whatever flavor of music rather than their own style. And I think he really, it sounded like it sounded like him. So, um. Good for Billy. Yeah, I really loved it. I think it's a great song. It's called Turn the Lights Back On. You should definitely go listen.

Beyonce dropped. Her country hit. Yeah. I'm obsessed. It's kind of, it's kind of so good. Like I was saying to you the other night, I think it's, it would be such a fun song, like to be driving around at night with the windows down, like, in warm weather and sing it. Like, not that it's a banger necessarily, but it's just, the vibes are fun. Yeah. Yeah. Just hold them. I would say, yeah, I said this the other day, too. I think if you're looking for country music, don't expect that it will scratch that it necessarily, but if you're looking for a good catchy song, it's definitely a good song. I heard, and maybe you also heard this, and if you can, you can corroborate it. Apparently, all of this stemmed from a conversation that Beyonce had with Taylor Swift.

Taylor was saying to Beyonce, you know, I could sing any genre, and my fans would support me. Like, I can do anything. And Beyonce apparently took that as a challenge, and now that's why she's releasing a country album. Oh, wow. So I've heard.

I don't know who can confirm that, but. Hmm. Well, she does hail from the motherland. Texas? Yep. Okay. But yeah, no, it's great. Kanye also released vultures.

There's a couple of bingers on there. What a name. Yeah. Vultures. That's, wow. Wow. Yeah. There's definitely a couple bangers on there, a couple good songs.

Northwest, his daughter is on one of them. Her cameo was cute. It's so cute. But, yeah, love that. I wonder if she'll have a rap and career. definitely will. She's so her father's daughter. You think? Yes, absolutely. I think placed like $500 on it. She's going to be a rapper. Okay. Like maybe among other things, but. Right. I mean, everything she's done thus far with her dad has been like super cute and sweet. Like when he,

remember when he brought her up on stage and she sang that little, a little ditty? She's cute. Mm-hmm. Good for North. I think that's so fun. Yeah. I love that she gets to be a part of that. And I think if your parents famous why not like why not take advantage of it absolutely i still wish he and kim would get back together though i know i think he kind of does too yeah i'm kind of worried about my man's conier he's kind of i don't know i feel like he had that really awesome like christian moment really like salt of the earth i feel like he is like maybe losing grip on that a little bit yeah no that's valid i don't really keep up with him enough but yeah he's he's been through a lot all we can do is pray for them. So true. Thanks for listening to the social skinny here on Radio Free Hillsdale

101.7 FM. We'll see you next week. Bye all.
