Welcome to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Hansas and I am joined in a winery so classy, filled with heroes. Yes, Mark Sessler, Chris Wessling and Greg Rostal. What's up? Boys? There? It is? Hey everybody? Hey Dan,

thanks for coming. How is everybody? Thank you? Seven women that are here too? Yeah? Way more than seven, thank you? There might be twelve. I hope you're appropriately liquored up. This is vaguely intimidating. I feel like there's a lot of human beings here, and at any point I'm much, I just get up and walk away, and you'll Marashina again. It was too much. My only goal was not to fall off. This is the type of chair that I would totally tumble right off of. And there's still like

another hour plus to go. So I like when they were coming up with, like, where should we put these guys for a live show. Let's get like a really classy sexy winery for a bunch of classy sexy guys. That's checks out, checks out. That makes sense, right, That's why they never put us on video, you know. And and you guys, I'm glad you guys are here because every day we're in that cramped studio when we do the show and we talk about what West wears, and we say, look at West's bod. Look at what Lakisha

the paramore puts him in. He went from a three to like a twelve and a half out of ten. Look at the look at the coating of the brown shoes, and then up to the look at how it's fitting on the arms. What a hot bod and what a hot dude? Give it up for West, A total piece ass. It's very generous. I haven't lifted a weight or moved since cancer. Okay, it's like the time we should talk about Dan's hot bot on guys obsession because it's like,

I mean, we could open up. It's like it doesn't last more than a few minutes without some sort of rating of the guys. But I think he's got your your your ability to evaluate his spot on no doubt. I mean, you don't try to take it in an uncomfortable situation. But I'm just more I see what I see and then I comment on him. It's organ analyst ultimately, And let the record show that Kevin Patras like five ft nine pounds. I mean, the man's not here to

defend themselves. Um. So we're really excited to be here, and thank you everybody for coming out. This is so incredible. We did a show out in London and it was fine. But you know, I mean I like America. I like being here, and here we are in Atlanta and you guys packed the joints. So thank you so much. Here. That's awesome. How many uh make some noise? If you're a Patriots fan, that's right, would be a rough night for you, all right, You guys can go now if

you want what is this guy here? Let me see this? Hang on? Oh no, Brady is I go get my lunch? There could be shadowy League figures here. I can't there are alright. So we're here to do a show. This is our super Bowl fifty three preview podcast, which means we're gonna talk about a lot of things and this will go up live on NFL dot com tomorrow. So we're all part of history together. Doesn't it feel special? Um? So what are we gonna do today? Here we go

some you know who's coming back? We have a special guest. Tiny Box is not here. Unfortunately. Actually I did read Colleen who we're doing our NFL dot com show. During the week we did our Tuesday podcast and then I it was a bridge too far, I said. I texted Colleen, It's like, hey, you want to do the live show. She's like yeah, it's a lot to ask. It's like, are you paying me? No? Special guest is so special that it's not even a human. Yeah, we do. It's

it's a female. Her name is Bridget, so the Bridget super Bowl Box three thousand. She's gonna be here. She's a beautiful Woman Machine also one of our favorite games. What's more likely we're gonna dig into that. Uh, Mark and I have to We're gonna have to talk about the Patriots, right Mark, we are, but we're gonna do it our way. Isn't the whole show about the Patriots? There's gonna be a reckoning? Oh yeah, and it is that. It is that time. It is. It is that time

of year. So go get my lunch. And Mark, I know you last year there was a very controversial go get my lunch. I don't find a controversial on any level. I'm dealing with three clowns who simply can't come aroun own to truth and justice. Uh nah, don't encourage him. We'll make our game predictions and then we want to hear from you. The audience will do a Q and A after the show. So if you guys have if you guys have any questions, now's the time to think

of it. But before we get into that, it is super Bowl week, and you know during super Bowl week there are a lot of stories. I mean, that's part of the machine West. You've gotta manufacture news content. It marches on ceaselessly, much to Mark's dismay, like the US Postal Service is ever coming home. Mark has been ready for this season to end for about four weeks. I might wish I could argue you, but I I want to finish it well. But I am ready to be at some point free of all of this. I need it.

That's fair, alright. So what we're gonna where we're gonna start here is a new game called doesn't Matter. It's like it's it's not the best name, but came up with it earlier today and it was fine. Alright, So here we go. I'm gonna go through some news items, uh this week, and you're gonna tell me if it matters or if it doesn't matter. And I'll start start with this Nickel, Robie Coleman on Tom Brady each has taken a toll. Chris Wesley doesn't matter. It does not.

Why not? It doesn't matter because we've seen he's gotten better over the last few weeks. He's over his MCL tear, playing really well, and we saw him he was in the zone. How often is a quarterback in the zone which he was in and overtime with his ball placement. It doesn't matter how old he is, and he played his two best games of the season after having a week off, and now he just had another week off. I mean, West is not a huge fan of player X talks about player Y to begin with, so I'm

not shocked at the answer. All right, so it doesn't matter, all right, but what was that that point? I know, Mark, this one's for you, Sean McVeigh, Bill Belichick. They text quote basically close quote. Every game doesn't matter. M I think we feel like this is the story that Sean McVeigh deeply regrets uh sneaking out to the press because there was that uncomfortable moment during Opening Night, if that's

what it's still called. I think that that is the Opening Night, a wonderful event for all the shadow algy figures. I really enjoy going to that, an attending that, but Belichick sort of standing there awkwardly as Sean McVeigh had to answer that question with the two of the standing there. Belichick doesn't want anyone to know who he's texting or who he's communicating with, so it was just too much inside baseball. But there's also well, there's that the Belichick

could be annoyed. There's also the angle that Sean McVeigh. He's young. His first game here in the Super Bowl, he learned about with lesson never divulge anything even a little bit interesting early in the week, because then you got to get asked about it four thousand times before Sunday. I think that's what happened here. But to answer your question,

I think you could argue that nothing matters. But I think it matters a little bit because Shellan McVeigh is gonna be around for a long time, and I think he learned a lesson right there, all right on that note makes some human bill, but already that matters. Yeah, it's here. It doesn't matter Sean McVeigh. And you guys might know this. This is out there on the street streets talking. He's thirty three years old. Do you guys know that it's crazy. I'm gonna say it does not matter.

Why not, because he's better than almost any coach in the league as it is. Age ain't nothing. I mean, the old guys over there, they've they've proven it. Side of the room. I don't know why. I'm just like ultra agism from Greg every show, every episode. Greg. I like that, But that did feel unnecessary. Most things, most things I say they are, You're like four years younger than us. Please, Greg. By the way, we are in Atlanta. Uh and this is a perfect place because a lot

of a lot of Falcons fans. I'm impressed. We love the dirty birds. How there we go. Falcon fans have been through a lot. I have a lot of respect for him, all right, West home teams thirty one all time in the Super Bowl. Doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. There's no such thing as a home team in the Super Bowl. It's a neutral field. That's untrue. Every year there's a home team. No, not really not. I'm totally

with you. What about that doesn't matter? Sessler that the Rams are wearing the throwback jerseys and the Patriots are wearing the white jerseys. What do they know? I can't even bring myself participate nature, No, not at all. All right, there we go, Mark double question Tom Brady quote zero chance of retiring after the Super Bowl. Of course it matters because I actually thought about a month ago that, you know, if the game went the way he wanted it to, he might walk out on top. Just you

could argue there's nothing more for him to accomplish. But it completely matters. Because it backs up everything that he's been saying about his own career for years. He's not backing off it, I feel, and he's still in your Jets division, so it's gonna matter to you, Patriots, and I would like him to retire if Super Bowl this year against the Rams close it down and just like drop the mic, I would be totally fine the Patriots fan.

Does anybody else feel that way? You'd like to see him go out with a win, can't wait for the don't worry about any gradual decline, would be beautiful, Bay and Mallett back. You know I love my one more year? Okay, all right, thank you sir? How about this one? And you know I love my Kickers. Greg's ourrline. He's kept his foot injury secret from the Rams. Should if you're rooting for the Rams, and you know there's a lot of people are doing that in this country right now

and across the world. That's a little nervous about that one West because that guy's a This matters because not only does he have one of the biggest legs in the league for field goals, but can he put it out of the end zone and prevent Cordarrel Patterson from returning kickoffs probably can alright here. We got Greg, I want to hear your thoughts and also marks on this one. Sean Payton binged Netflix and ice cream after the Rams defeated the Saints in that controversial NFC title game. Now,

I think that does matter. It made him human. He's not a guy that you always kind of think of and you want to wrap your arms around him really as a likable guy, and that did it. We talked to Cameron Jordan's. We talked to Cameron Jordan today and if Falcons fans like Saints going through pain, I mean

they're doing it, Cameron Jordan's. Cameron Jordan's said he watched the game four straight times between Monday and Tuesday and just thought of all the things that he could have done differently, and just think how much worse this would week would be for all you have Falcons fans. If New Orleans had taken over this town, which is what they would have done, it matters to me if I need more detail the flavorings of the ice cream, what sort of dish or condiments went with the ice cream?

And what is he binging on Netflix? Netflix has a wide umbrella program. I mean, I want to know what he take West's advice and watch you. I mean that's what we all watched the last few weeks. But did you know check out the Ted Bundy documentary. I watched that myself. But that would be more about concerned if NFL head coaches are binging that two days after a long last one West Aaron Donald. L A is a

football town. Now, it doesn't matter because it's not true. Well, it's not a football town in in anything unless it's college football. Do we have any Rams fans other than Lakisha here? Alright? Alright, I recognize that. Alright, So well that's telling. And it's interesting that you know, the Patriots, of course, have been to this game nine times in eighteen years. I think that everyone in New England has been to at least three Super Bowls at this point.

So if the Rams cannot outdraw Patriots fans on Sunday, and I have my suspicions they won't be able to, it's not going to be a great. Look. I would say this l A is not like, hey, be good at something for like ten days and we bought it. You gotta you gotta win the town over there on their way. You couldn't have asked for a better start for the rams. Well that's fair. That was another pr message for the people. Nice second, nice when you got things going. What what are you guys drinking tonight? By

the way, what we are wine? Anybody drinking Tito's? There's like one rush. That's good. Our first ever green room in the back, and I have to say booze whenever you can. Mr f bought us around. Shout out for Mr the greatest sponsor in the business. All right, here we go. It's time to make some Super Bowl fifty three predictions. Uh, with the help of the bridget bought three thousand. So we're gonna go around the horn here.

Let's start though with Chris Wesling give us a prediction, and then we have a state of the art computer robit that will deem whether or not it is something that should be taken seriously. Well, we all recognize that Tony Romo is a natural and he's already great at his job, but he's yet to have his like Al Michael's do you Believe in Miracles? Broadcast booth moment. My prediction is that Tony Romo has his signature broadcast moment calling Tom Brady Tom versus time two minute drill in

the biggest stage in American sports. Oh, I love it. It's kind of the whole Romo thing. It's fascinating, and we talked We've talked about it West because I I know all of us are kind of fascinated by what he's been able to do. How big a story it was. You wonder if like a football player has a prime an analyst this, you know, coming out of the game a few years, if this is his prime. So we need to kind of enjoy it while last before he turns into Terry Bradshaw and he's sitting at a Dais

for nine straight minutes without saying anything. You're getting paid for this. I do wonder Jim Nancy's ever like, what about me? Jim's got banged out. Now you know that Jim's got some issues. Um, all right, let's see. Well I liked it. I think we all like, what does this robotic minstress think about? Let's see what Bridget has to say. Another faulty delivery for the quote unquote mail man. A faulty delivery for the mail man that was such

a great ta quote unquote mailman. He literally delivered mail a man. If there was a robot Hell, I would send Bridget there, be careful. You're starting to come around and where I'm I don't know why she's so unpopular. We do this game and she gets it's a big spot for Bridget to be a lot of pressure on. All right, Greg, we took her out for a ride. It's your turn now. My prediction is that Dante Fowler in Indomican Sue are gonna hit Tom Brady twice as much as he's been hit in the playoffs so far.

That Dante Fowler when you look that, they're gonna hurry him throughout the game. If you look at what has been different with this Rams team in the playoffs, it's Dante Fowler in Indominican sue, and especially in the NFC Championship game, it was Fowler. You're putting two guys on Aaron Donald and Fowler. It wasn't just the game winning play that he had, like play after play, his quickness was beating the tackles of the Saints, who are better

than the tackles of the Patriots. And by the way, he had his other best game of the year as a member of the Jaguars against the Patriots back in Week two. They're lining in Dominican Sue up at defensive end at defensive tackle. He got his sack when he's playing one technique over a nose tackle. I just don't think they've the offensive line of the Patriots has played a mean like this. And it's gonna be harder for Brady.

Doesn't mean they're not gonna win. I think I'm just saying it's gonna be hard Greg, unless, like Dante Scarnecki, is on pilocybin twelve minutes before kickoff. I think that. I think Brady is gonna be fun. Are you ready for a humble Bragg? Yeah, let's hear it. Before I left for the Super Bowl l Kisition, I ran into Kara Henderson Snead at a bar and wife drop and we spent like ten minutes talking about Dante Fowler as the X factor in this game. Beast. I mean that

was a humble Bragg. I have to say came through. I mean it did? It did connect? You know, Fowler's a guy, he's interesting, and the fact that he um was a nice pickup, but it wasn't making a ton of noise and then he has the hit, the hit on breeze that leads to the intercession and overtime. If he does what you think he could do. How many more millions is this guy gonna make on the open market if he gets there? That this is this is

how you make the monk. I mean he I thought he was the most valuable player on the team and Sue being able to move all around. I'm throwing him into this mix too, Like he smells the Hall of Fame right now. It almost feels like he was chilling during the regular season and now it's just like suit time. All right. Well that was I mean, Greg is so great. He along with West built Road a world brick by bricks.

You told us in the green room. I wasn't aware you won some type of fantasy award, like you called it the Best Picture of Fantasy Writing award, which was what fantasy writer of the year it was, Yeah, the Fantasy sports Writer of the Year. A nice little plastic trophy that's somewhere. So he's a smart guy and that was a great take. Obviously, Bridget will I mean, the humble brags just keep coming. Let's see what Bridget has to say, crack is Mark, Greg rehab? Oh you know what,

go to rehab. I mean, if anyone was going to rehab out of this for it wouldn't be me. Sure, I don't even know who. I mean, that's what's beautiful. That's only slightly judged. I don't know about that. I also thought like the podcast just took a dark turn with that one comment. That will if they did like some type like a behind the music or like a football life, that would be when like he says it, and then it goes to black and white and then

they show our reactions and then nothing is ever the same. Please, I mean, be mad at the human programming this computer. That's silly, all right, Mark, Now just for people, you guys are all obviously listeners of the show. Last time we did this, Mark, I'm very upset with the way the robot man. You know what, what came out of the robot when she did her computation. So just bring the heat this time, so we don't want that again. I don't want that either. I'm gonna bring the heat

right now. At some stage in this game, a player will sustain a big enough rip or tear in his jersey to require serious attention by a team tailor and or equipment staff. I'm talking to big Gass rip analyze that Rosenthal team Taylor. Wow, I don't know if there are team tailors that you have. Signus says, I have a sessler, So you have a sessler about that one. I love this guy two thousand um All right, well, I like that. I always like when the jersey gets ripped.

It is it's kind, it's masculine, and it shows that the game physical and brutal and body and the parts in the Campbell putting his head and dies, Ah Robertson. Not that big of a rip, but a big noticeable rip. I wonder what the robot will say about this. The last time we place, you called it the whole segment of manufactured joke, because I recall, all right, let's see, let's see what happens this time, because there's there's really no way you can take that any other way. This

let's see what the robust Ridge mark. This is a manufactured joke. Ha ha. I do like British accents, but I don't like that one. She's become sentient. She has a sense of humor now and she's mocking you. Well, listen, I mean, if you want to get into how this whole segment is cooked up, we can just go on with it. All right, here's my prediction. All right, um, Rob Gronkowski, Julian Edelman. Edelman for the first five weeks

of every calendar year turns into Jerry Rice. So to think that he is now going to get shut down in the Super Bowl, your boy, he's gonna have a big game. And then what does that mean? Seven for a hundred, maybe a touch aim higher, could be higher Gronk. Meanwhile, the ropea dope of taking him out of the offense

and all that. I think he shows up big in the a f C title game, and you know the Rams and Wade Phillips are gonna say, oh well, it's you know, people aren't noticing that the Patriots have a sneaky like check down boring his hell offense or completes like sevent his passes the running backs out of that field. We're gonna take that away. So what's gonna happen Gronk, who's had two weeks to rest up, He's going to

be revitalized. He'll have a big game too. So my prediction is Gronk and Edelman go over thirty yards and score two touchdowns combined. Monster Day, and I'm very nervous about it. I want to hear what Bridget thinks about this, but you guys are getting killed, so I don't. I don't imagine I'll do well. But she's she's a robot. Let's see what she has to say. I'm nervous about this. Keeping the work out for me done. You have done it again. You are amazing. Oh well, I got it.

I win the segment. Mark. I'm gonna find this robot in the off season. Take her apart, bit by bit. Alright. I always feel uncomfortable when Dan says too many nice things about the Patriots. What ulterior motives are going on? Well? You know mean well, my friend, let's take a second here to hear from a sponsor. Clean up your remote control clutter and time for the Super Bowl.

Let's get back to the show, all right, It's now time for one of our favorite games. What's more Likely? What More? Yeah, that's a good one.

It's one of the hits. See this guy's talking a lot, and you would think sometimes he's talking a little bit too much. Yes, we're gonna call this is the game we're gonna play. You just heard it, so that that was the warm up. The game we are playing next is called Beautiful. All right, get us going, Mark, you're up first. Actually, no, let's start with West. You gotta say it's Mark for the clean up hit or on a on a category like this, what do you gotta

what's more likely? Two players? Everybody has been doubting for the past month, not at their physical peaks. Rob Gronkowski leads all players in receiving yards or Todd Gurley leads all players and yards from scrimmage. Now the crowd, well, I was gonna say what's more likely? But you guys think it's curly. Let's work this out. Let's work shop this everybody. A lot of people went broken out and grounk. After he does a set up, then you dropped what's

more likely? And then if you want to decide what it is immediately after that, then you say it, all right, here we go, you know, right, there we go. So you said Rock has more receiving yards than any player, or Todd Gurley has more yards from scrimmage than any player. There we go, Girly, well done, rock see Ron, I'm nervous about but like I just said, I feel like they're gonna employ him and he's gonna have a big game. But my p scale is about fourteen for any Patriots

Super Bowl game out of ten. But I also think it's a really good one because I also think Gurly he's gonna bounce back. He's not gonna touch about five times. I think McVeigh made it so clear, and he, you know, he blames was that an answer? Which was the answer there? Oh uh, Rocky Bummer, I'm going Girly. I think McVeigh all week. You know, he blames himself for everything that goes wrong with the Rams, which he obviously should not be.

But the usage of Girle in the in the NFC title game and the guy who dropped two passes and no, no doubt, but that also was like a reverse Unicorn game for Girly. He's not going to have that happen again. And I think I think there's a big motivating factor here is to have Girly right away. By the end of the first quarter, we're gonna find out that he is there with a lot going on, a lot of yardage. You never want to go reverse Unicorn. You don't want to be that a maneuver. I had just made it up.

I don't know. My boy, my boy Portzingis just got traded from the Knicks. No Unicorn talks today. It's too soon. It's too soon. I think it's got to be girly. I when I look at the Rams, they've played zone defense throughout most of the playoffs in the second half of the season. But when that's playing into the Patriots hand, you would think they'd play a little more man and like, who does it keep to leave cover? That's their most physical cover guy. It's Gronk, And to me, that's a

mismatch in favor of to leave. As much as I love Gronk coach, I'm just I think gron can get off. He won someone on one matchups against the cornerbacks in the a f C Championship. He'll get his numbers. Are you worried that he can't jump anymore? Yes, that's an issue, although I did like that how much. Yes, Like his feet do not leave the ground, so he gets a nice you know, six for seventy eight. But Todd Gurley has a better chance to do better. You throw it

out there, what special teamer is more likely? Up? That's like I do this every time here right now, mulligan. What's more like Cordurel Patterson makes a game changing play, doesn't have to be on special teams. Could be as a running back, could be as a receiver, could be as a returner. Or Johnny Hecker makes a game changing play either with his foot or his arm or his legs. Did you just ask if he's going to have a game changing punt? I said his legs or his art.

He could game changing punts. Absolutely, it's like one of the great punters of all time. Well, you know, as as you know very well, the second Giants Patriots Super Bowl wasn't Matt Dodge the Giants punch punch was as big a reason for the Giants winning that game. Is pretty much. Well, we were calling him that first, We were calling him the n D P at the end of the second at the first Bill Belichick is somewhere right now like mumbling how much he loves Johnny Hecking,

what a weapon? Here where he's texting Sean McVeigh about it, Um, Mark, you're up? We answer, go ahead, answer it's time hackers the goat he is giants too. I mean I think Hecker with his arm may make a game changing play that that's part of their offense. All right, I'm with you, all right, number one. Hello to my wife's Simone. Sorry. Yeah, I largely apologize for who I am. Where are you are? There's a little fun fact. Simone and I born on the same day and year, and there's really there's a

bond that I mean, Simone, think about it. Mark, sometimes you were almost like twins in a way. Yeah, it's it's um, it's a developing situation. It's concerning. I monitor it heavily. I mean more best friends. But yeah, okay, it's something I'm monitored. If you want, well, she's my best friend, Dan, damn it out that hurt. You're my second best friend. I hate it. Here, okay, here we go? Do I start by saying, what's more likely? I'm like, move from Colleen Fox colle segments. All right, go ahead.

In an attempt at deep psychological warfare, the New England Patriots try to run the Philly Special or the l A Rams try to run the Philly Special, tom Brady tripped. Ever, every time they've tried this place, do not throw the ball to tom Brady. He's like a college freshman after like the fourth beer. Like if you put him in the open field, he is going down. That's not what

I hear about tom Brady's beer drinking ability. The last time they ran a play very similar to the Philly Special, tom Brady tripped and tore his m c L and basically ruined the next five weeks of the Patriots season. How do you even survive? Disappointment? And Malcolm Butler, what a hard life do you have? Is a Patriots fan? Five weeks of doubt? My god, the dark ages unbelievable. All right, here's mine? Oh do we have anybody? Does anyone want to answer the question? That was? All right?

Here we go. What's more likely the Patriots appear in two more Super were Bowls before Tom Brady's career is over, or the Jets or Brown's win ah Super Bowl before Dan and Mark's lives are over? Say that again? What was the Patriots? Patriots appearing two more at least two more Super Bowls before Brady's done, or the Jets or Brown's win one Super Bowl before Mark or myself are dead and in the ground worm feed, hopefully fifty years from now. I mean, the X factor is there's no

way to know when we're going to die. I know, yeah, I know, sneak assuming normal life expectant. It's one of the real issues human existence. It is. It's a lingering mystery. I mean, wait, is this the Human Existence podcast? Ken? All right, welcome to the Human Existence podcasting. I'll let you speak about the Jets stand are you kidding me? The Browns are going to the Super Bowl with Baker Mayfield good book, and they're what and they're not going

there to lose. They're gonna win, and then they're gonna win another, and then they're gonna win another and then I'm gonna be I don't even need it after that.

I mean, honestly, it's sent me out to see, well, that is what Baker Mayfield has done for And I'll speak about Mark specifically, because you are the only Browns fan or the friend of mine that I know associated with the Browns and most it's hard to talk that he changed the entire outlook for the fans like it gave you swagger like when he said that we're dangerous or I'm dangerous, whatever he said, it was adorable. Marcus

Mark came into the office the next day. It's just like Mark was far cocky or about the Browns, and I was about the Patriots. In December, they worked out they won seven games? What victory? Uh, I would love. Yeah, I'm kind of counting on Baker Mayfield like four and thank you for asking the usual. I what do you what are you insinuating we're on the same team here?

sass and that's what we like about her. Erica Tampos, and we know her is Ricky Hollywood. Come out up, Cricket. I thought you were gonna bring it. You're gonna talk to get all the way up there. Come on you, by the way. This is why Erica took the job right now to be able to come up on stage. We're very excited to have her here and live out her dream. Is she coming? Yeah, I'm on my way. I mean, this is where we need some of those Brown's hecklers just to chime in again, behind you smooth out?

All right? Um, well we're gonna talk about now, and I would like Erica, how are you by the way, I'm doing okay? Yeah? How's what's it like working with us? And why are we over here just together? Um? It's really really awesome working for you. Which one is your favorite of the four of us? Um? Myself there you go? All right? How about the one who got you another jobs. I'd like you to slide over one chair. Uh, whatever you say, Ricky, if you don't mind, could you sit

there on your little stool? All right, Um, this is gonna be a surprise, uh for you guys, the three of you, Mark and I, we want to have a discussion. Um. Listen, a lot of America in the world has Patriots exhaustion, and so do we. And what we've decided here is we're not going to fight it anymore. It is time to give up any hope that this stops. We understand now the Patriots will be winning or appearing at Super Bowls what three to ten years ahead from at the

low end of the spectrum. So you got us. We give up. So Erica, Greg, Wesa, we want to offer our What what am I doing on the Patriots side? Oh? You I'm football agnostic. Hold on one second, what are you grabbing? He's got props. West has been carrying that water up and down the hill, up and down the hill for years, So I don't tell me you're not in this conversation. So West, Greg, Eric, we surrender. We surrender. That's it what we're gonna do. Though. We want to

offer up the terms of surrender. This is what happens in warfare. It's just like Yalta. What is that? This is like Yalta. It's kind of like Yelta I remember. Definitely. Alright, so we're gonna take turns offering up some terms of surrender, and then you guys can decide whether you accept them. Now, one thing to understand. If you do not accept our terms of surrender, Mark and I will quit the podcast and uh move to the deep woods of her mind and buy a log cabin together and live together. I

didn't script that. We'll talk about it later. That sounds hot. That would make my life so much easier. All right, here we go, you guys, here's the first term patriots. There. You're not allowed to have any more quote unquote underdog narratives that you know are used to inflame. I mean, come on, I used to inflame the fan base, move merchandise, I see you, Edelman, whoa, and talk yourselves into a reality that simply does not exist. You are the house

in Blackjack, You are the evil Empire. Just own it. What do you think I mean? I remember a lot of people picking against this podcast all year. Go ahead, Oh wait here on that side, I might have to leave Patriots fandom. If you're trying to act like they're actually underdogs, you're not getting out of this West. You're in too deep now, West Martin term number two. For

as long as the Patriots kick. But Ricky Hollywood must comply to a direct uniform code that requires her every night of the week after five pm, and all day long on Saturdays and Sundays to exclusively wear My Little Pony them shirts, pants, hats, socks, and workout gear off brand. My Little Pony garb is forbidden. Every article of clothing must be genuinely trademarked my Little Pony wear flushed with pinks, aquas and lavender tones. No excuses, no bs, I do

that already. That's fun. It's not a reach, alright. No more. No more inside sources telling us about epic statements. Uh, Tom makes behind closed doors. This is something that is way on my radar. Yeah, we hear that. It was reported. I'm the baddest mother efra on the planet. We know, you know, I know Tom Brady over twenty years. He didn't say that that was completely made up. Brandon Spikes, he says to Brandon Spikes and other report that came

out a couple of weeks ago. You think I play this to go to bowls, and that is like all it is after twenty years, he's not saying these things. Babe, Ruth didn call his shot. It's all legend making no more of that, no more Brady legendary. Let's let the play on the field tell the story. Is that okay? I mean you're telling a story with like the rent that he's paying inside your head, that you're thinking about this all day. Fair enough, well for accurate sake, accuracy sake.

Michael Jordan is a baddist on the plan alright, Brady's number two at the very least. This is how you win the crowd or Dominique Wilkins, right, guys, yeah, hey, he made it to the Eastern Conference finals once. All right, Marc, all right, until the Pats totally bite, Erica West and Greg will take turns giving Dan's shoulder, thigh and buttocks massages every day at three pm to commemorate New England's comeback win over. I'm sorry, no, alright, hey, I was

rooting for you. I was rooting for you and as a as an a joinder, each one of these Massage Chessions will air live on Daniel Jeremiah's Instagram story. I thought you're gonna saying air live on his podcast, which would be an improvement entertainment. Was Wow? Is hr in the audience? Who is Daniel Jeremiah? That's a great question. This one simple and I feel like you guys will complain no more bon Jovi and Robert Craft's luxury box You just don't hit it. That's it, say no more

luxury box shots. In general. He has come at hard Craft, or at least I guess CBS it's coming hard for Jared Jones. This corner on the luxury box cutaways, Craft First Jara is one of the battles to watch right now. Late bon Jovi, Jerry's just doesn't happen in February. For as long as New England is annoyingly awesome at football, all three of you must endure the following Every April sixteenth,

Bill Belichick's birthday. You will each be crammed individually into a cardboard box, complete with food, water, and waste bags. You will then be shipped ground rate second class from Los Angeles to Foxboro. Dan and Mark will monitor your progress via ups USPS tracking technology. Wait you got the post Office in on this? Oh yeah, I mean these are two of my favorite people in the world. If I'm gonna be stuck in a box with anyone, you're

in a box by yourself. I mean that's my individual boxes. Hey, Ricky, do you know how to play piano? What do you think I am? I don't know. Producing give it a shot. Hey, now she could play a little baby, I know, chop sicks. I feel like, alright, try it, Ricky, don't lose that number. Is that our quest? No, that's a steely Dan song. I know that's what I'm saying. What yeah, exactly, deeper reference? What a talented will we give it up? Very good? All right, there we go one more, one more. I

feel like it's going well. I feel like they are going I think we're getting our message out there and it's just being met fairly. All right, here we go. No more Scott Zolac until the scientists can find a way to effectively medicate him. I'm off top. Definitely. No more Bill Belichick zombie chance mm hmm, yeah, No more Tom Brady mob taunts. Oh yeah, well there's pill Bartlett, uh Barlett, Ryan Bartlett and maybe it got into the open bar before he's been drinking my wine back there

and puts the bar in Bartlett. No more, Tom Brady. Mob taunts, we're excited. I hope you guys are excited. Oh my god, no more of this said, Let's let him here it all the way down to Atlanta. We're still here. We're still here. We're still here, We're still here, still here, We're still here, y'all. Y'all pay just to boo us for an hour and finally, no more of Jim Nance accidentally revealing his man crush for Brady live on air. Mr Cool takes the snap. Mr Cool is

not a thing, Mr Cool, It's not a thing. Jim, I agree emphatically to that term. Close it out, bar all right. The eighth and final term that you will agree to until the Patriots dynasty dies. West must, starting this Monday, cease writing any and all football content. Instead, he must launch an obsessive WordPress blog focused exclusively on Nancy Drew daily deep dives on every single Nancy Drew novel. Impassioned. West created fan fiction centered around Nancy Drew's adult struggles

with cocaine ecstasy. Adderall Star caps, mushrooms, molly still and pure strains of Colorado grown hash. Along with the written content, West will host a weekly three hour long podcast called Nancy's World. We're starting with super fudge. You're in all right? Now that we've laid out the terms, Greg, I'll let you speak for the group. Do you accept our terms

of surrender? Hell? No, I mean I remember, I remember Mark Sessler having a fist bump with a gleam in his eye as Tom Rady finished off a drive against the Seahawks about four years ago. I don't remember two years ago. Because he enjoys football in the moment. He'll get you back on Sunday. So that's a. That's a that's I mean, that's great. Alright, this segments over yet, am I see? Greg doesn't speak for me except alternate quest Do you need your bucket? Carry that water? I'm

done carrying their water? All right, It's time to play Go Get My Lunch. Right. Oh. It's one of our famous games where we make predictions, and what we want to do is predictions about the game that lead to our Go get My Lunch Dot org by Nick Portier does an awesome job tracking the standings of where we are with our predictions now one each for Super Bowl three. Let's get it going, Greg, so many options here, Let's

go with the simplest one possible. That a guy that that Mark Brady apparently, I mean Mark said Sol apparently doesn't shout out to Mark Brady by the way he's out there, confused him with a shadowy league figure, doesn't have a parent, appear to enjoy watching anymore. Tom Brady ouch wins the Super Bowl m V p mm hmm, super Bowl m VP. How many would that be for Tom? That would be five. I believe that is an onion hanger. Gotta win the game, and he's got to perform. You Yeah,

I mean, he plays so out of his mind. I'd like this matchup for the Patriots passing game. I think ultimately they're not going to be able to run the ball as much, and even though they do get after Brady in this game, that he steps it up. All right, Okay, we'll see how plays out. I hope you're wrong, but he said, if we're taking it, yeah, that's true. I forgot about that. Well. I'm gonna approach this from a Greg Rosenthoe angle. Mathematically, you've got the field, so active

players on each side, one out of ninety. But then you have to carry the three in factory and then he's a quarterback, and that of all time, I'm still taking the field. It's the percentage play. The field is the smart play. They say, what about you, Mark, I know that you think that I cannot stand Tom Brady. It's quite the opposite. It's just that I root for a different team. But I mean, well not really, but yeah, I knew that was coming. Rig He's got the wine too.

I think if they win and he has even as I get a good work, a relatively successful game, he gets the m v P. I just think there's two This is all narrative, right, I mean he's got You don't get not give a forty something year old quarterback the m v P. Gave it to the gratest of all time. No, don't. And we know Jim Nance. We just talked about it. He called what he called him hot boy? Oh no, Mr Cool. Yeah, it's it's Jim. It's Jim Nance who I think hands the trophy over.

He's involved with the hopefully it's not witting exactly. Poor Jason Witten, that poor guy. After the year he had. I mean, give the guy a break. Well, that's a fair point too. Yeah, pick it up from the base. You always know you'll pick it up from the base, Um, I will. I will not take you up on that because I think the Patriots have a good chance to win and Tom Brady narrative for he won Jim nance, Mr Cool, I can't take you on it. All right,

I'll do it. Sean McVeigh, who, by the way, did you know he's thirty three mm hmm, true story, he's half the age of Bill Belichick. These are all nugs that I'm dropping for the first time. He did he played against Adelman in college. Alright, anyway, McVeigh and Belichick, we'll have a midfield encounter at the end of the game that will be a big story after the game and into the next week. And I'll tell you why. It's not just think I'm Rooney forks would be fun.

I think there's something to Belichick, who is hyper competitive, he loves being known as the goat coach, and all this hype that Sean McVeigh has been getting over the

last two years. What better stage could Bill Belichick ask for than to knock the young prince off the throne than to completely destroy him or potentially attempt to embarrass him on the stage of the Super Bowl, like you know, remember in Fight Club when Ed Norton like pounded pulverized Jared Leto's face, Orto Jordan Catalano's face and said I and They're like, why did you do that, Psycho boy?

I just wanted to destroy something beautiful. I think that's where Belichick's head is at in this game, and I think what could happen here. I think that's where your heads, No, don't go near sea face, And I think that leads to potential issues at midfield. I mean I get I get a sort of wish casting vibe with this one. Uh you know, number one, McVeigh would never do that to Belichick, So it has to go from the other way, Belichick towards McVeigh. That would be the more likely because

he's done it before. Bill, we haven't seen it in a while, because but he is It's documented that sometimes he gets a little cranky. He could be a sore loser, and on this stage against the kid, maybe when he loses the Super Bowl, he looks like a cadaver that has had all the blood drained out of him, Like, I really feel bad. I'm a Patriot. I love Bill Belichick more than so bad for him in that scenario. I'll take you up on it, will Okay, Well, why not?

Belichick does live in a Hollywood out volcano in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. That's absolutely true. But the odds are against you on this one. I'm taking it, okay. I think, like, like the way you've been reading the Patriots for years, you've got this totally wrong. Bill Belichick has more so much smoke. I mean, you've been waiting, You've been saying gradual decline for for a few m

v ps. They Bill Belichick has more respect for Sean McVeigh, I think, than just about any coach in the league. And that's why I'll be so disgraceful. And I think Bill beltics showed last three hand he handled the loss well, and if they win, he's going to be in a great mood. And I think be as complementary as humanly possible to Sean McVeigh, like someone that he sees I think kind of carrying on another guy from a football family who he loves essentially, So you're taking it. Somebody's

not buying it. I'm not buying it. That's an onion hanger, by the way that you want to I mean they don't. The sandwich tastes the same whether it's an onion hanger or not. A touchdown will be scored by the defense or special teams. This is like an old desert people propet I got a little excited. This is right in his house. I want to Yeah, I'm trying. So no more specifics, just any special teamer or defensive player exactly, a non offensive touchdown. Yeah, I'll take that. I mean,

I'm with you. I I could feel Kyle van Noy maybe on one of those punt where they don't know who's coming through and he pops it free and John Simon runs into the end zone for a page. We're the only football podcast that talks about special teams with such enthusiasm. It's incredible. I mean, it's as it separates us. Smart. I'll take you because I know, no matter what my profit is, it will be talked down, shredded, and not accepted. And I think I think Tom Brady could get picked off.

I mean, you're you got Wade Phillips, who who confused them quite a bit in two thousand and fifteen with the Broncos by changing up his coverages. And I did notice this week, Wade Phillips, notice that Bill belicks Check said that he hasn't changed his defense in thirty years. And he made a little sly comment the other day. It's like, Hey, I'm just a simple guy. I haven't

changed my defense in thirty years. And I just thought, oh, no, he is sending the house at Brady and either to leave or Marcus Peters, who are as good as anyone, maybe picks him off and goes to the house Peters. I like. By the way, shout out to Dave Damnishek who reached out to Wade Phillips and had him dressed up like his dad bum getting off the plane coming to Super Bowl week. That was a nice moment, nicely

done by Scheck and bum Phillips. If you haven't read about him, one of the great characters in NFL history, where can you read about him? West? Here comes the plug NFL dot com slash love you Blue Chris Leslie, Ladies and gentlemen, It is a great peace and West is a gifted writer. Finally, Mark, they've taken that off the website. Okay, super Bowl fifty three will float along

at a pedestrian pace. Everything will go just as planned, until, in a moment of total weirdness, a foreign object tumbles down from the ceiling of the murs Sadi's Ben Stadium and onto the field like a pink. Uh no, not our last past There might there might not buffalo. Yeah I'm not. I'm not predicting what the object will be, but it will not be a human So that well,

that's good. Yes, But maybe one of those bags of confetti typically stored for the winning team like comes undone like early in the game, and it just reigins down on the field. Maybe a stadium worker, one of those ones that are way high up, drops his ruben sandwich. Maybe a dead pearl like a dead bird tumbles down to the turf. Shouldn't be flying inside of a dome to begin with, fault. I'm not sure what the object will be, but something will fall on the field now

or the game wraps. Let me say this mark, because what happens with these controversial props you make, they're not believe, just enough wiggle room where no matter what happens, you make a case that you're right, so let me I want to let cover all our basins here gets specific. I mean, if like something falls out of a referees pocket, or if someone drops you know it's from it's from the roots of the stadium, like we're talking, it falls like it has to be significant enough that the broadcast

mentions it. Absolutely, We're all going to be structure. I'm not saying that, oh, no one saw in a small objects fall from the ceiling. No one saw it, But I'm gonna argue that it happened. It's going to create Twitter storm and a waves of mysterious comments, and people has to fall from above from from them. What I wrote was because we always have to go back and read these things. A foreign object till down from the ceiling of the Mercedes Benz Stadium. I mean from the

ceiling area. I'm talking like one of the highest ledges up there. What is your access level on your credential? Can you get up there? No comment? I'm walking this closely. You will. I will here to take you on. I will take you and make you actually buy the sandwich this time, please, because this is too ridiculous to make it a sweeper all right, we're we're coming up near the end now, so this game prediction time. Let's let's set up the steaks as you guys as listeners of

the pod. No, and it'd be really weird if you weren't a listener of the podcast and you were here. But if that is, this is your first show, I hope you like it, but we do, sund out to the bearded guy there hope. Bearded guy said, all right, it's fine, will you start listening. Yeah, it's like C C plus plus. All right. We pick a lock every week Week one through seventeen, and then through the postseason and entering Super Bowl Sunday. Greg and I eliminated. It

just wasn't our year. What are you gonna do? I got a trophy from last year. But right now, yeah, we're here, Mark and West West. You're one game behind Mark, so there will be a lock. Now you can both lock into the same game, and then it's over. Mark. You're the champion, the undisputed champ. Let's see how it all plays out. Mark, since you have the lead, it's only fair you get to make the choice first. We would never have a scenario where I take West out

tonight we're not gonna have that. This is going to go down to the final game. I admire your sportsmanship. I really even right to this second and not sure who to pick. I have gone back and forth. I am going to this little effect Mark's mood for the rest of the week. And there's a lot of pressure not just on Mark right now but on all of us. What I walk out of the moon knows what I'm

talking about. There is a moment like a week ago or so where he led us into his mind where he mentioned He's like, you know, West and I We've just been thinking about this lock thing hour after hour the last week and a half, and I'm thinking, I don't think West has not one. I cannot do anything worse than tie for the leads. So there is a little bit of an element of piece. But you are right. I have made life hard for you all and for

my significant other based on many things. Um, West, I am going to pick because I think this also aligns you with your future significant other. I'm going to pick the New England Patriots. Let's get a score. The score eight to thirty four shootout, that's what they call it in the industry. West, you now have the option. The floor is open, you can accept lock defeat, which hypothetically you could because you're you're open and that you don't really care. Uh and you love carrying the water up

and down the hill. So it seems like I might be a little bit of a quandary for you right now. Well, people don't really remember this, but the Rams were the better team all year. Absolutely, It's not until the last two weeks that people thought the page Riots were better. The Rams are the better, more talented team. I stand with the paramore a wedding and I'm locking it up. Well done. And and what what you did last week

locking against the Rams with with the Saints. I worried that there would be no wedding to go to in May. That was a risky move, but a show that you're a man of principle. That was your pick then, But your pick now puts us in a lock off with a title on the line. It's the way it should be. Hubb hubba um. I will tell you this. I you know, I don't want the Patriots to win, but after everything seems to be surging for New England, don't do it

have some integrity? Well, let's see everything seems to be they're peaking the Patriots at the right time, which annoys me because they did feel like this was the end. But then what we saw in the divisional playoffs against the Charges, my goodness, that was scary. They carried it on to go to Arrowhead and now they got the confidence. And what's weird about this Patriots team is that there's

what pressure is there for the Patriots? Ultimately, yes, you want to win the super Bowl, but I mean Tom Brady wins the super Bowl and wins the m v P, he's already the goat. If he loses, It's like there's no shame in losing to the Rams. And I means, you've been to nine super Bowls, so there's there's no heat on him. This this is a dangerous Well you could say that, but the way I look at it is no pressure at all. You're gonna lock up the Patriots for a second straight week. But then I then

I thought about something. In fact, it wasn't something I thought. I was at my home last week, and I am not kidding when I say this. You think this is a manufacturer Joe Kizmark calls it. I had a vision, a straight up legit vision of ramp were going. Yes of Rams left tackle Andrew Whitworth walking across the Mercedes Benz Stadium with his children in each arm. I am not kidding with a confetti coming down, and he is a champion. This was a real vision I had and

because of that, I gotta lock up the Rams. It's a vision. You never mess with a vision. Can you picture it? I even have the children. He's got four kids, twins, Sarah and Drew, Michael and Katherine. I'll go with the twins, Sarah and Drew in each arm, walking across the confetti strewn field, and twins and twins. It's weird when they're kids. Okay, that's I thought. We got this guy out of here. He picked us in the Nancy Championship game. Right here

we go. I think the story of Rob Gronkowski is one of football's great stories, the great greatest tight end of all time, A man child who changed what is possible at the position. Have you watched develop physical great hands down until this season? And this season has been

tough to watch. If you love Gronk and you believe in Gronk, it's like watching a superhero who suddenly doesn't have any powers until the playoffs, and then he starts playing a little better in the first game, and then he comes out a little bit in the second game. And I look at him, and I look at a guy who knows he's one game away from the end from retirement. He's feeling free. His body is giving up on him, but he has a chance to be great one more time and rise from the ashes from what

has been a terrible season. He's not the only person that's had a terrible season. There's a little man by the name of doctor Rainmaker. Oh no, oh, no oh, Who's who's had it tough this year. Made a lot of wrong picks and lost a lot of people their homes, not to mention your plans and their children's college. And unfortunately, the you know, the people, the people that were with them, they can't be here tonight because they're in jail or there.

They really don't have friends anymore. Honey, we can't get Richard Braces. I trusted the Rainmaker. But much like Rob Gronkowski, you gotta save your best for the playoffs. You gotta push all your chips in the table for the super Bowl. And in the city of Atlanta. You best you're gotta make it rain down on him, the Rainmakers. I mean, come on, you could go double or nothing for the

whole season. I wanted to drop dollar bills on this entire place, but it wasn't gonna happen with the Shadowy Lake fire, but the whole in NFL, you know, gambling thing. This might be the last time it's the Doctor Rainmaker. So it is retiring with a win on Sunday thirty one. All right, and I have one. All right, there we go. This is exciting, yes, and it's been so exciting being with you guys. This is an amazing experience for us.

So before we go, as I said at the top of the show, we'll take some questions for the audience if if you have any do we I didn't even think this. Do we have a microphone? Ricky? Yeah? We do? Great? All right, who's up first? I can't see it here we go right up in front, gentlemen. Check check check, Hey man, what's your name? My name is Johnny. Alright. Soo, so we've we've had a lot of talk in the pod in the last week about over and under on drinks.

So you guys are gonna be having and I see you guys are drinking straight Tito right now in the water bottle. Of course, where are we at? I want to know individual counts all throughout. Okay, thanks, all right, that's a fair question. And as Gregg hinted at earlier, why don't we start the low end of the scale. I'm not a drinking man. I'm just gonna leave it at that. He doesn't. He doesn't focus on drink. He just judges us. I feel like it's been you know,

it's been pretty under control. They're actually making us do a lot of work now here, which it really gets in the way of having fun. But you know, Tito's He's always my friend. He's the one person I can trust in this world. So we're probably about I don't know, ten twelve deep. It's disappointing, West. It had been talked about that you were potentially gonna have a hundred drinks. Where do we come down? My biggest takeaway of Super Bowl week is that I'm not going to come close

to a hundred drinks. Stilled half of it on my shirt. The night is young. What West was walking around the bar in our hotel with a big red stain on his shirt and I said, I said, Wes putting that up. Don't tell me what to do. That's where. What about you, Mark, you've been having fun? Well, I mean I would argue that compared to pass super Bowls, the count is far lower because we have these early call times. Last two nights helped, though they helped quite a bit. I've only

been here four nights. Yeah, well, I don't know to the number, but I hope to go past fifty by the end of tonight. And we want Yeah. But the fun thing is if anybody wants to hang out and get a drink, please join us. Let's have fun together. Who else got a question? We got one over here from Johnny. Johnny, So my favorite segment is you're the GM and what has been your I guess y'all's a favorite role to play GM or Coke. My memory only

last like three days. Maximum memory was that Dave Gettleman, I think was it was a fun guy at one point, Yeah, Gettleman, it was good. He really nailed the accent on Gettleman. You've got in character. For me, it's a no brainer. This one's I wish we could play. Are the Lasid version? Of the song. But just imagine in your head right now. It's beautiful. Yeah. I love playing Alway because he's just

larger than life. And it seems like any conversation with John Elway is just like him yelling at you, either about a player or about one of his used car lots, or just imagine that. Yes, how about you. I believe I coined the sugar bear nickname for Reggie McKinnon. Did a nice job with that. Yes, so that would be my favorite. There you go. I really enjoyed playing the role of Saucy Brown, but then he was sent very

far away. Where is I don't think he's even identifiable on Google searches and I am pretty good at Google searching people. You guys want to hear a Sessler bar story. Yeah, I know where you're going. Yes, this was a San Francisco Super Bowl and simone please leave the room for three minutes, and Connor Or, who is a champion, purchased a bunch of drinks for us while we were finishing up the Super Bowl podcast. We came back and Mark put on a show yelling in front of all the

sports writers in San Francisco. Just randomly, every three minutes. So Sha Brown, Well my expectations were met, Alright, what else we got? Alright? So my my question is a two parter number one. I've I've been watching Greg throughout this entire thing, and I've been noticing his thousand yards there and yikes, Yeah, he seemed to be zoning out, and I've just been wondering, um, with his devotion to uh the j r VP podcast, I've been wondering, Uh,

do you ever wonder where his allegiance is? Lying he was back on the acid. Don't try to make trouble. Dan definitely doesn't like this question. Yeah, listen, answer the question, Stinky Davis. Like like your tendencies and a thousand yards there you would get used to if you just got to know me. That's kind of my general function, Like Dan, Dan was talking about a number of things we discussed apparently as a group on the way over here, which

I had completely zoned out for. I'm just kind of in my own mind thinking about things, and I would never worry about allegiances when it comes to j r VP. That is about to get canceled shortly based on our our last episode. I mean, all I do is changed the name one more time to j RP because the vanity is so definitely implied. Who else got a question? Marcus over here has one for you. Hey guys, how you doing? Hey man on a scala one the team New Orleans being one. Um, let's say Miami is a team.

How was Atlanta ranked as a Super Bowl city so far? Ah? Well, I would say that one of the most important things. And we've been to a bunch now humble brag. Um. We're very lucky that we've been in the NFL centers a lot. And one of the big things you want is accessibility. You don't want to be getting on a bus and traveling. Our is to get to the stadium or to the media night or to the hotel where the teams are. Atlanta, they do it right. Solid infrastructure

every these clubs. Yeah, infrastructure, Uh so we love that. And people and and and yes, so the infrastructure is tremendous. But the people that's better than a Patriots cheer. Yeah. The people also are super friendly, which we've been talking about everyone, whether it's people in the hotel or just people on the street. Very cool. So it's been great and uh, I can't wait to find out what Atlanta has to offer. There was one super Bowl. There was one super Bowl where west that I'm not gonna even

say the city. We were stationed like a hundred and forty minutes outside of the main part of town and what miles the rubble on every court right, it felt like Oswald's minced Russia, and uh we were concerned for our own safety during that Super Bowl. It's three hours and forty five minutes from the Mercedes bens Dome to Huckapoos on Tybee Island. So Atlanta is my favorite super

Bowl city. I'm heading there Monday. Forget the charter flight back to l A. Yeah, infrastructure at geography, proximity, and southern hospitality, a couple more hi um. During Mark's Sandwich props, we get a lot of apocalyptic scenarios. What apocalyptic scenario do you think should be the name of Delaware's comeback album? Now? For those of you who do not know, including new guy, how you doing, Buddy? Yes, Greg in high school had a it was kind of like a neo funk acid

rock band called So Inaccurate. He was the lead singer and keyboardist. Uh yeah, just kind of like little Moroccos. Sometimes there's like the lead the lead singer I did have died black hair down to here, ladies, think about it. We note from your Annie Lennox cover that you and sing that's true. So is there anyway? And we have on our show reached out there to your band members. We've been trying to track down a copy of Delaware's debut album and still the only album. We will get

it one day. Will there ever be could there ever be a second Delaware albums? Well, there was a couple albums. There was how do You Want It Cooked? Of course essentially Strawberry Rhubarb was the label. Is Mike Burr in the house here? He was a Delaware fan. Mike Burr, get him back in the mix. All right? Two more questions? Two more. It's like none of us answered the question

at all. Melissa in the back here as a question, Hey, I was just wondering what team were you excited about before the season and then after the season you're just kind of disappointed. Besides the Jets, what about you, Wes. I hate to say it, I picked the Broncos like three times in September and thought they were gonna be fun to watch, and then I bailed on him by the time October started. Yeah, case Keenum just didn't have

my answers your Falcons. I mean I picked him to win that, I picked them to make the Super Bowl. I'll give me a break. And it's like, oh gosh, two or three injuries, Like look at the Eagles last year. It was the most injured team in the league and they won the Super Bowl. That I thought the Falcons are gonna be so fun, so fast on defense. I love I do love the people down here. It's been as friendly, the food is amazing, and this team should

have been much better than it was. I mean, I also picked the Falcons to win the Super Bowl, and I still like the team a lot. I think this was a blip on the radar in some ways. So but I'm gonna pick the Ravens because whenever the Ravens do anything more than go to and fourteen, I am upset on many levels. And I'll just say I don't I don't remember really the framing of a question. But are we all happy that the Saints aren't here in forty of their bands and stuff? That's how you what

a good job? Last question? Last question, way in the back, Mr Rosenthal. My question for you is, of the two podcasts you're a part of, how does it feel knowing that your producers more talented than you are. I'm fine with that, very very very Batman get paid a lot of money. I'm father, you know, I'm fine with that. I got to the level of boss by recognizing people that were more talented around me, like Chris Wessling and

bringing him to the NFL. That made me well, you know, you guys are just kind of the you know good answer. Greg as always very good with people. People always shut this down. Can I give a shout out? Please do? Simone Sessler and the paramore Lakisha Jackson or here stand up right over here are the Rocks, and I want to thank all of you who supported me through cancer. It really meant a lot and it really drove me through it. Thank you so true. You guys are amazing,
