We start in New Orleans where Mahomes was trying to strike a chord, but this isn't the Niners. The Chiefs QB sneak defense held up well against the Bills last week, but the Eagles said they not like us as they opened the scoring with a Jalen Hurts so good touchdown. Cooper Dajin is not a brother. He's just a guy who plays like a coach's son.
DEI has been undone as he returned an interception for a touchdown and the route was officially on. AJ Brown showed his inner excellence scoring late in the second after Padraic Mahomes suffered back-to-back injuries.
unforced errors, and it was 24-0. Birds heading into half with Kendrick Lamar's chance to shine. The second half picked up where the first half left off as Devontae Smith and Wesson scored on a quick strike out of the pistol, proving Jalen Hurts has a secret son, and his name is Patrick Mahomes because the Kansas City offense had an unexpected visit from Brandon Meet the Grams as the Eagles' D-line continued to bring the pressure, extending the lead to 34-0.
But was it too much time on the clock for Patrick Mahomes? As Xavier Werther's original had the ball stick to his hands in the end zone, putting the Chiefs on the board. No, it was not too much time for Patrick Mahomes, unless you count garbage time as the entire city of Philadelphia graced up the polls to shove him up the Chiefs' ass and told him, The Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl champions as they win 40-22.
And that was the last final fastest two minutes of the season. It's brought to you by our friends at Chevy. The fastest two minutes is presented by our good friends at Chevy. Chevy has packed more capability in this Chevy Silverado Trail Boss so that you can pack more fun into your weekend. Have yourself a Fri-Yay, Saturday-Yay, and Sunday-Yay with the truck that says no to nothing. Tailgates, spontaneous camping trips.
DIY projects? Bring it on. What about a cross-country road trip? Silverado was the perfect ride for last year's Grit Week out west.
And recently they helped give us fullbacks the recognition they deserve with the low man award. Well, the Silverado Trail Boss is built like a fullback. We're talking 495 pounds of torque. Hold on to your sodas, Max. Plus the Trail Boss gives you an extra two inch lift. So maybe Hank can finally dunk. Silverado brings the grit, then pairs it with all the latest truck tech inside and out. The result, a truck that
They can do it all. Then show up on Monday with a story to tell. So learn more about the Silverado Trail Boss, Chevy.com, Chevrolet. Together, let's drive. Okay, that's a wrap on the 2024-5 season. And the Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl champions. Absolute ass-kicking of the Kansas City Chiefs.
stopping history from happening. Holy shit. They dominated that game. They beat the fuck out of the Chiefs from the opening snap of the game. Mahomes looked very uncomfortable, and there was no blitzing happening either. Nope. It was like a 0% blitz rate, but the defensive line for the Eagles, hey, Big Cat, you know what?
I know how to beat Mahomes. Yeah. Do you know how to beat him? Yeah. You got to get pressure with four. You get pressure with four. We set the key to the game. It's exactly what Todd Bowles did to Patrick Mahomes in that first Super Bowl where Mahomes lost. Yeah. I said it during the game. I think it was like the first or second drive. I was like, this looks like Mahomes in the 2020 Super Bowl.
Bowl because he had no time and he wasn't processing anything like he usually does. Yeah, so the Chiefs offense broke football temporarily when everybody – they weren't running like that deep cover two and their exotic blitzes and shit. And when they had Tyreek Hill and all those fast guys, they were just lighting everyone up. And then Bowles was like, you know what? I blitz all the time. What if I just didn't blitz? Yeah. And we just got pressure on him before, roughed him up in the Super Bowl. That's exactly what Vic Fangio did.
He did it to a level. So they had, I think the stats were 42 dropbacks, 16 pressures, 6 sacks. They never blitzed. I think there was one blitz that was negated by a penalty. In the first half specifically, it was Mahomes had a higher, there was a higher pressure rate by the Eagles front four than
Mahomes' completion percentage. Yeah. It was like 46% to 42%. Mahomes in the first half was 6 for 14, 33 yards, 0 touchdowns, 2 interceptions, and a pick 6. And...
It was just an all-out ass-kicking. The Eagles, I mean, Jalen Hurts, Super Bowl MVP, silenced the haters. But it was top to bottom. Like, even if you look at the box score, because you'd be like, oh, yeah, Mahomes, you know, that was garbage time. That was all garbage time. I scored him 16, what, 16-6 in the fourth quarter? Yeah, when it was 34-0.
At the end of the third quarter, Mahomes was 9 for 18 for 61 yards and two interceptions. And he added a fumble after that as well because that's how good the Eagles defense was. It was just a front-to-back ass-kicking. So, Big Cat, let me ask you. Embrace debate. Yeah. Is Patrick Mahomes washed, trash, or ass? Ooh.
Hank, you want to chime in? I think he's washed. He's washed. Okay, he's washed. Yeah. Check down merchant. Listen, it happens to every quarterback. You know, like Father Time is undefeated for Patrick Mahomes, and he's looking at that right now. And, you know, Tom Brady, I think he had a pretty good career. I'd say the second biggest winner out of tonight was Hank Lockwood. Yeah. Yeah.
Hank was, Hank was a little nervous at one point though, because it was when it was, I think 27 to nothing. He was just like, no, there's no way. There's just no way. Yeah. Cause if my homes had pulled off a 27, nothing come back for a three Pete, that would have been all time. But it was, it was never a doubt. Like I, I,
I, you know, watching obviously the chiefs, you're like, okay, they could always come back. But when the game really turned on Cooper to jeans, pick six, uh, which was an incredible play. And then my homes threw a pick the next very next throw. So we had back-to-back interceptions, Zach bond with the interception Badger. And it was, I don't know. I don't know what else to say. Besides it was an absolute ass kicking. I never, it never felt like the chiefs, the chiefs. This is how crazy it was.
We were sitting there watching. The first play from scrimmage for the Chiefs was a perfectly designed play that was like a nice misdirection. I can't remember who caught it. Oh, it was Juju. Caught an 11-yard pass. First play from scrimmage for the Chiefs offense. That was their only first down for the entire first half. That first play. That was it. That was all she wrote. And the Eagles... And here's the craziest thing about this game. If you had said...
On Friday, if we had said to Max, who's going to join us in a second, if we had said to Max, Max, on Sunday night, we're going to be recording this show.
And Saquon Barkley, his stat line is going to be 25 rushes for 57 yards. Did you win this game? Yeah. And it would be like, I don't know. Hopefully Jalen Hurts won. No, no. You not only won this game, you dominated this game. Yeah, so not only Saquon Barkley, 57 rush yards. Also, Patrick Mahomes ended up with 257 pass yards, three touchdowns, two picks. Hurts with 221 passing yards, two touchdowns, one pick.
If you were to look at all that together, you'd say, yeah, it sounds like the Chiefs won by three points. Yeah. And what happened was it was just an utter ass-kicking by the defensive line for the Philadelphia Eagles. And Jalen Hurts played perfect. Yeah, he did. He had that one interception.
It was kind of like an arm punt. Uh, although they could have gotten three there. Cause I think they were on the 30 yard line. But other than that, he, I mean, the, the pass of Devante Smith was an absolute dime. Uh, he, you know, the AJ Brown one that got called back was also a dime. That fourth and five call that they made in the first, uh, first drive. And everyone was like, Oh, here we go. Here are the refs. Uh,
And that didn't last long because the Eagles were just that much better than the entire Chiefs team. And it was like, no, I mean, Kelsey didn't get his first catch, I think, until the second half. The Eagles, yeah, the Eagles defense, like Vic Fangio, I know we talk about spags all the time, Vic Fangio,
is he put on a masterclass, absolute masterclass. Didn't all the stats going into this game of like Vic Fangio 0-8 against the Chiefs and the Chiefs, I think seven out of eight of those games, they scored on their first drive.
And Coach Gruden said this on, I think, Friday. He was like, Vic Fangio's not... He's going to do what he does, and he's not going to change it. He's going to trust his guys, and that's exactly what he did. He ran the same defense, and he trusted his guys up front, and they made great plays. He put Cooper DeGene on Kelsey when it mattered, and...
Yeah, it was just an ass-kicking. Yeah, it was never close. This was actually a pretty boring Super Bowl. I think a lot of America's pretty happy with the way that it ended because everyone wanted to see Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs of the Evil Empire lose. So a lot of people are happy about that. But I would have preferred...
somewhat of a competitive game in the second half. I think a lot of people were, like, hoping for Mahomes to do something to make it a little bit interesting in the second half. But, yeah, it was just utter domination. And as we've always said on this show, you've got to respect Nick Sirianni as a head coach. Nick Sirianni. You have to because right now, did you know that Nick Sirianni has the highest winning percentage?
Of any coach in the NFL? I did know that because I said that two weeks ago when I was saying that he's doing it Italian. And he's doing an awesome job, and I think it's high time that other podcasts start to recognize that besides just us. Yeah. Made the playoff all four years. Two NFC Championship wins. A Super Bowl.
I mean, that's a hell of a resume for four years. He left off winner. He's a winner. And he did it all, coaching Italian. And credit to Nick Sirianni, not crying during the National Anthem. I think we all thought that was going to be the key. It looked like he was trying to summon up some tears. He held them back. And, yeah, Nick Sirianni and Howie Roseman. I mean, to think where that Eagles defense was at the end of last year. They showed the stat. They were like 30th and 31st in everything.
to get Cooper to Jean, to get Quinn, Jan Mitchell, to sign Zach bond, to retool that defensive line. Like he made all the right moves and that,
We were talking last year about how Nick Ciarano was on the hot seat, and the way that season finished, it was like a completely demoralizing, something's wrong with this locker room, Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, all that shit. None of it mattered. They were so, so dominating, both in the NFC Championship game and this game. It was not even – it just wasn't even close. Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, credit where credit's due. Yeah. He did it. Yeah. Incredible team. And yeah, Jalen Hurts, he had a great game also with his legs. Yes. He ran the ball really well. That was the other thing. When he started to take off, it was like, this is a healthy Jalen Hurts. We haven't seen this type of running from him in a long time. Yeah. He ran the ball well. He ran it smart. He played a really, really good football game. And the most important thing, he won the Super Bowl with a visor. That's true. So this is the first quarterback to ever win a Super Bowl while wearing a visor. Yeah.
You talk about records being shattered today, barriers being broken. Cooper DeGene, white quarterback, pick six in the Super Bowl, and Jalen Hurts winning Super Bowl with a visor. And Kenny Pickett kneeling down a Super Bowl victory. Yeah.
A lot of things we didn't think we'd see. Stand up to hate. Yeah, stand up to hate. It was – yeah, the whole thing was just – it couldn't have been an easier game for the Eagles. And like you said, we were just sitting there waiting for Mahomes to do something, and it really just –
You can look at the stats after the game. It was all garbage time. That was all garbage time. So you know what I noticed in the first half was they were getting really good pressure. They were getting back there on the edges. And then Mahomes likes to step up in the pocket and then either wiggle through, turn off to his right, and then find somebody downfield or pick up an easy like eight, nine yards rushing.
but when he went up the middle, when he stepped up, there were two guys there every time. Yeah. And then he got scared, and then he knew that he couldn't step up, so he tried to do his little spin moves like Russ Wilson does in the backfield, and he would just get caught by somebody that was faster than him. Yeah. And he didn't know what was going on. And you could tell, yeah, the guys weren't open, and he wasn't processing. I mean, the back-to-back interceptions...
I know he got kind of like stepped on for the second one, but still. Yeah. Very un-Mahomes-like. Has he ever thrown back-to-back picks on consecutive plays? I don't know. I'm going to guess no. That might be the first time. Yeah. It was a bad night for the Chiefs, and it really did. Like, I know that everyone rushes for legacy talk, but it's only fair to do this because if he had won this Super Bowl, it would have been a lot of Patrick Mahomes, 4-1, 3-peat, all this. Yeah.
Three and two in the Super Bowl. Obviously still has three. Two blowouts. But the two blowouts are significant. Interesting. They are. They were significant blowouts. His Super Bowl point differential. You want to guess what it is, Hank? It's got to be. Wednesday and losses? Yeah, that's what point differential is. He's probably minus 15. He's minus 23. Wow. Point differential. Yeah, the two losses looked very similar in that they just could not do anything and he could not see anything and he was getting harassed all night.
And, yeah, I mean, three and two is very different. And it shows again. I don't know if we'll ever have a team get back to a third Super Bowl going for a three-peat. But, man, this shows how hard it is. I mean, I think we will at some point. Maybe. At some point you're going to have good teams in the NFL. But this was the first time this had ever happened. Yeah, but I – Like, this is the first time it literally ever happened that a team got to the Super Bowl after winning two in a row. At some point it's probably going to happen, but it's very, very hard to do. I'd like to bet against it never ever happening. Same.
I'll put that bet in. All right. We do have max. I kind of like to take that bet right now. Like until we die. Until we die. I'll make it with you. How much do you want to bet? 10 grand. Wait, but so then what if you die? You have to put in your will. What if you die before me? If I die, you have to give it to my kids. Okay. I don't see it. If you die, you have to put in your will to give it to me. All right. 10 grand. I like that. Love it. It's never going to happen. That's a bet that will last well after we're dead. With inflation? No. No.
We got to account for inflation. You think it's going to go up or down? I think it's, well, the T-man probably down. With tariffs. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Hank, you want in on this bet? Yeah. Okay. Sweet. What do you want to bet PFT? Yeah. 10 grand?
Yeah, I'll just add it on to the Patriots commanders. Yeah, can I deduct that from your... Well, no, the bet is that the Patriots will make it to the Super Bowl in the next, what, four years? Three years. Three years. Four years. No, no, you're right. No, you're right. No, you're right. No, Meme's corrected me. Three years. Yeah, we'll tack it on there. Okay. All right. We do have Max. What everyone's waiting for. Before we do that, a quick word from our friends at Kevin's Natural Foods. If you haven't tried Kevin's Natural Foods, you're missing out.

Okay, here he is, Super Bowl champion Max Salente. Max, this is your moment. Give us everything. Brain dump everything. We want to hear everything.
His mic doesn't work. This is awesome. What a moment. Oh, this is perfect. Big moment. His mic doesn't work. We'll wait for Pug to get here and get his thoughts. He's sitting there. I got to say right now, just looking at Max, he's got to be the smelliest, grossest human on earth. Well, he was out in the rain for about two hours drinking beer. Yeah. The beard looked like if you smelled it, you would pass out. Yeah. He's been in New Orleans for nine days now. What?
We know he went out hard last night. We saw a picture of him this morning with mismatched socks. He's got his suspenders on, his overalls on. He's just looking... I was saying he looked like a human fart walking into the stadium. And...
We're going to wait for Max. I guess he's not ready to go. He said he tweeted out one hour ago, I'm going to get so fucking drunk tonight. Yeah. I'm curious to know if he's begun that mission. I think he probably has. Okay, so while we wait for Max. Let's talk about Tom Brady. Okay, go ahead. Wait, I want Max to hear this. By the way, we forgot one big story that Max doesn't know about that we need to mention. Fox bringing out that new score bug for the Super Bowl.
was a war crime. It was disgusting. It was just insane. Why do networks do that for the Super Bowl? This is something that you need at least a full year to workshop in case you lay a dud. This one was so bad, it looked like they screwed up and had to redevelop and redesign their score bug like four hours before kickoff. And they just had time to make two rectangles that they would put on the screen. Hank said it perfectly. He was like, this looks like our score bug for our streams because we don't have rights to it.
Yeah. Where we'll just have like the colors of the team. And that same font for both teams. Yeah. And the empty space with no background in the middle. I don't know who came up with that, but that guy should be. I don't want to say fired, but he should be because that was so bad.
I don't know how that gets through. This is a, it goes to what we say all the time. Like just hire a regular fan for these high level meetings, have them sit down, show them the score bug and they'll immediately be like, what the fuck is that? Well, here's the other thing. You need to do it ahead of time because that way we would have a full season to get used to it. Right. And we probably wouldn't think that it looked as bad after seeing it for like 20 weeks in a row. But if you do it, we all hate the new score bugs. I would say that there are a
Yeah. Max has been punching. Max. Oh. Kind of. Kind of.
Can kind of hear you. This is the fucking... It's a brand new fucking thing. Wait, what's going on, Max? Say it again. This is a brand... Now the microphone's broken. It's the Super Bowl.
I can't switch the mic. We already started recording. No, we just started recording. I know. Pug is just saying switch the mic. He can't switch the mic. All right, so then just switch. Stop recording. Switch the mic, and then we'll have you back on when you're ready to go. This cord is fucking broken. This is Max's big moment. Keep all this in.
Suck on that haters. Oh my God. You had it working. He, he, you know what Max looks like right now? He looks like suspect number one in true detective the season, what they did in Louisiana. Like you just see him on a lawnmower. You're like, that guy's been killing people. That guy's someone we got to question. Tree man. Yeah. He is the tree man right now.
He's just a swamp creature. He's become New Orleans. Oh, my God. All right. What else do we have about the game before Max fixes this? Tom Brady. Well, I want Max to hear this because then he'll get mad, right? No, go ahead. I don't think it has anything to do with the Eagles, really. It was a big, massive game for Tom Brady's legacy.
But now he was 3-2 in his first five Super Bowls. Mahomes was 3-2 in his first five Super Bowls. Brady played a lot better and the games were a lot closer in the two games that they lost. And now it's like Mahomes, he's got to win four more. Andy Reid's going to retire soon. He's already washed.
So he's got a long way to go. It would have been tough to argue against four and one. And a three-peat. And a three-peat. The three-peat was the history maker. But now that's all over. Yeah, so it was great. It was nice that Tom Brady got to watch it and announce it knowing how happy he was the whole time. Because he went on. Was that Tom Brady? Yeah. Okay. He went on Coward earlier in the week. He was talking about how important, like, the only losses people talk about are Super Bowl losses. Like, no one talks about, you know, any loss to the.
To the Colts and to the Ravens in the AFC Championship and stuff. They only talked to him about the Super Bowl losses, and now Mahomes has two big ones. Yeah, but did you see Tom Brady's cheeks? They look great. Real high cheekbones today. Yeah. Yeah. They look good. So his watch...
Yeah, it was a nice watch. It was very nice. Did Ravel tell us how much that watch was? 600k. Okay. It was a big win for Tom Brady. It was a big win for Belichick, I guess. Although the pregame stat where they showed Andy Reid walking out and they said all-time winningest coach in Chiefs and Eagles history is pretty crazy to see.
But big win for Belichick. Yep. Not letting Andy Reid get that. Also, big win for Gronk. And Belichick was just catching wins all week. He showed up to the NFL Honors with all eight of his Super Bowl rings. Was that a real picture of his girlfriend? Yeah, that was weird. That one I didn't fully understand. His girlfriend was wearing a Super Bowl 51 Atlanta Falcons championship shirt. That was crazy. Yeah, that was a little much. I like it. And Patrick Mahomes wearing Eagles green.
Intentionally. Intentionally. As his pregame attire. Wild move. I respect the cockiness. Yeah. I do. But if you're Patrick Mahomes and you wear that on the walk-in, you should also wear that at the post-game press conference. I haven't seen any pictures of him. Was he wearing that post-game? I did not see it. I also saw Travis Kelsey look like he was dressed as a drug dealer coming in. That was a cocky suit that he was wearing. He looked like a 1985...
drug dealer. Is the mic working? No, he's just wearing his shirt. Okay, does that sound... Fucking shit! Restart it. Are we going to be able to keep all of Max's struggles with the mic going? Memes? Did we record a bunch of this? Yeah, it's all recording. We'll be able to hear him. Let's see if the mic works here. Talk again. Try again. Nope, can't hear you.
This is his big moment. He's just screaming into the... He's screaming into a mic that's not working. Watch... Everyone subscribe to the YouTube. Get us to 600,000 subscribers because you get to watch Max just walking around being so mad right now. He's like a caveman. I mean, this is how...
He's been waiting for this moment, and he's just being cocked by his own. He's the producer, too. Like, if anyone, if it was one of us trying to figure this out, you'd understand. But it's Max trying to figure this out. You should know this. Okay, while we wait for Max to try to get this, we're brought to you again by Kevin's Natural Foods, a takeover today.

We can't hear you, Max. We can't hear you. You're screaming into a mic that has no sound coming back to us. This is so perfectly Max. Do we have you say something, Max? Wait.
Say something. No, it's just going to go through the regular fuck. The microphone is fuck. The microphone is fuck. All right? No microphone. We're not doing the microphone. The mic worked earlier, though. All right, if we're not doing the microphone, you've got to bring the computer to your lap. This is bullshit.
I can't believe this is happening. Oh my god. He looks like he's about to titty fuck us. The last thing a Kit Kat sees. Okay. Max. I think you gotta put it in your lap. Yeah, you gotta get closer. This is as close as it's getting. How is this gonna sound? Wait, hold on. Oh, he's got a fix. He might have a fix. If only we had a producer down there with him. Rowan's here too.
Yeah, okay. Yeah, that's okay. Is this better? Yeah, that's good. That actually sounds good. Okay, this is bullshit. All right. We're truly, truly. Get this man is truly. All right. Oh, he's getting back up. All right. I'm here. We're now welcoming on Super Bowl champions Max Salente and our good friend Roan. They're back from the Super Bowl.
Uh, boys, congrats first. This is your moment. Two years in the waiting. We had two years ago in Arizona. You guys were sitting there sad as could be as we laughed at you. Now you get the laugh. You just absolutely shit pumped Patrick Mahomes and the chiefs dominating is dominating could be just give us everything unloaded. Tell us, tell us everything.
It was a hell of a weekend. It was a hell of a football game by one team that is an elite, all-time historic football team. The Philadelphia Eagles of the 2024-2025 season are a historic football team. Games that they have been healthy in, they've lost one game. The Falcons game is the only real loss that they had all year.
If you go back and look at it, Jalen Hurts didn't play in the Commanders game. Devontae Smith and Lane Johnson and A.J. Brown didn't play in the Bucs game. The Atlanta Falcons game is the only real loss that this team has had all year. And we beat the fuck out of teams. All year we beat the fuck out of teams. Multiple scores against the Ravens. Multiple scores against the Steelers. Beat the fuck out of the Commanders.
Bengals. This fucking team is one of the best football teams of all time. And Jalen Hurts is a top five quarterback in this league. He's a top three quarterback in this league. He's one of the best to ever do it in the Eagles green. Jalen fucking Hurts deserves respect. I'm fucking blowing up this mic for sure. But a hell of a football game. All-time defense. Vic Fangio is a fucking god. I love the Eagles. I love this city.
And I love Philadelphia. Well said, Max. Yeah, yeah. How about, like, talk us through the game instead of your schedule? It was a good game. I mean, all right, all right. Let's back up. Roan, Max, you guys went out last night. Waking up this morning, like, give us just, like, the play-by-play of how today went. Like, when did you guys link up? Going into the stadium, what was the stadium like? Everything.
when was the last time you were sober max yeah that also that i'm pretty sober right now okay okay all right rowan why don't you take it away for a second yeah we woke up this morning speech i sent max a video and i said lucky are we the people who get to take a loss and then come back and have another chance at this
We lost. We embarrassed ourselves against the Chiefs last time. And we're so fortunate to have a chance to take another crack at this thing. So I sent Max a video that said, we are fucking ready for them. And we get to the game. And right as we get to the stadium, I whisper to Max,
What if we whip their ass? What if we go belt to ass to the Kansas City Chiefs? What if we find Patrick Mahomes, maybe one of the best, maybe the best quarterback of all time, and we beat his ass in front of a national audience? And sure enough, that's exactly what
we did. I mean, walking into the stadium, it was almost like there was a sense of calm. Like we had been here before and it wasn't the fear that we had. Our team a couple years ago, we're better at cornerback. That's where we lost. We're better at running back. That's where we lost. We're better at linebacker. That's where we lost. And we put it all together in
A performance where there was no doubt. We wanted to keep on reminding ourselves that, hey, we've lost this before. We've been in a situation where we're up 10 points, where we're up a bunch of points. And we took it to a place where we were up, what was it, 31 to nothing? 34-0. 34-0? Yeah. Yeah.
And we took care of business the entire way. Honestly, the city of Philadelphia has to feel so proud of what the Eagles did right now. The joy in that stadium, the mirth, the feelings that are just coursing through all of our veins right now. It's incomprehensible. Belt to ass. Belt to ass. When did you guys allow yourselves to feel comfortable with it? Because I know Max was saying, like, it's not over. Stop cursing it when you were up by 34 points.
Once the...
The strip sack. The strip sack was definitely the moment where it switched for me. Because I was also thinking, like, given my track record, I was thinking, like, we're going to have a historic loss, and I'm going to have to go on this show tonight and sit down after, sorry, the worst loss in history of football. Because I just kept thinking, like, 28-3, 28-3, like, this is worse than 28-3. And then I'm going to be that guy who,
That has to go on to the part of my take and do a podcast after giving that up. But our defense is just fucking good. Yeah. The most important question I have for you, because we were watching on TV and there was a moment in the game when the Chiefs had the ball, they were driving, and you could hear the Arrowhead Tomahawk chant break out in the Superdome. And I thought to myself, like, that's a really loud fucking chant. I didn't think that the Chiefs had that many fans there.
Could that be the Eagles fans doing the Arrowhead chop sarcastically? Because if so, that's fucking awesome. Was that you guys? Wait, could you hear that on the broadcast? It was loud as shit. Yes. Very loud. Fucking rocks. It's tough to tell if it's like just our section or if it's like the whole stadium for like where we, where we were.
But the fact that you could hear that on the broadcast must have meant, I mean, Eagles fans are the best. What do you think the fan split was? What do you think the fan split was inside the stadium? I don't know. Where we were, it was very green. But, like, I don't know if, like, that was an Eagles section. You couldn't look around? You couldn't see the other side of the stadium? What about, yeah, like, cheering when, like, plays would happen?
The Chiefs barely got to cheer. It's true. Good point. All of Patrick Mahomes' stats were garbage time stats. You guys completely suffocated them. I have a question for you, Roan. The Cooper-Dejean interception pick six, all-time moment. We got the alternate view. You were just dumping a full beer on your head. Were you worried at all that that was a little early in the game to be just dousing yourself in beer?
It wasn't even like that. That wasn't the final celebration, but the pure emotion of that moment completely took over. But we're telling every Eagles fan, hey, lock in for the second half. It doesn't matter what our lead is. I didn't feel any type of comfort until about three minutes left in the third quarter when the Chiefs couldn't do anything. In the first half, the Chiefs had...
What, 24 yards? Patrick Mahomes had like 23 yards, 24 yards. We had 24 points. We had as many points as they had yards. It was just a pure, clean ash whooping. And we tried to stay as conservative as possible. But when the team just refuses to touch the brakes the entire time, we had no choice except to celebrate as the victors, as the best team in the NFL, as the champions, as a team that no one can take it from for the rest of the year.
We get to talk our shit. We get to pop our shit. We get to feel good about ourselves and no one gets to say shit to us. We were talking before you guys joined. When we were sitting there watching the game, the first play from scrimmage from the Chiefs was like a perfect misdirection, first down, 11-yard pass to Juju Smith-Schuster.
That was their only first down in the first half. Their first play from scrimmage was their only first down in the first half. That's how good you guys were. And we were saying, like, they had to feel so incredible to just start the celebration. I know that you guys were like, oh, Patrick Mahomes, but, like, even in the third quarter to be able to be like, hey, we did it. And you just – you basically get to just celebrate for an entire fourth quarter as you watch the seconds tick down for your Super Bowl victory.
Let's rewrite the narrative almost because coming into this game, we said the Eagles obviously have the better squad, but quarterback-wise, we have to give the nod to Patrick Mahomes. But you look at what the two quarterbacks did during this game. Jalen Hurts outplayed Patrick Mahomes, and there's no way to rewrite it in any other fashion than that. It was a pure ass-whooping. Our defense played better. Jalen Hurts outplayed.
has to be talked about in the same way as the top couple quarterbacks in this league. He surpasses Joe Burrow. He surpasses Lamar Jackson. He surpasses Josh Allen. He surpasses all these guys who could never get it done. Not only did he do it, the stats were there to back it up, and the hardware is there in the form of an MVP in the Lombardi. All right, so, Ron, it sounds like you have Patrick Mahomes still number one in the NFL.
And then you have Jalen second? Who else can you even put in the conversation like that? It's Jalen second, yeah. Everyone keeps saying, oh, Josh Allen can't get to the Super Bowl because he has to beat Patrick Mahomes. Lamar Jackson can't get to the Super Bowl because he has to beat Patrick Mahomes in the AFC. Jalen Hurts just beat the fuck out of Patrick Mahomes. And everyone talks about how great this Chiefs defense was. Jalen Hurts beat the fuck out of this defense. It wasn't Saquon.
No. And he's fucking Jalen Hurts. We said if we told you before the game on Friday that Saquon had 25 rushes for 57 yards, you'd be like, uh-oh, we might be in trouble. But Jalen Hurts was perfect. Outside of his interception, he played a perfect game. He ran great. He threw whenever, like, all his passes were crisp. He played a perfect game. He deserves the MVP.
He had some incredible passes. Let's look at his pass down the sideline to Jahan Dotson. Incredible pass. Let's look at the pass they took away to A.J. Brown. Bullshit. Incredible pass. Let's look at the touchdown pass that he had to Devontae Smith. These are high-caliber throws from a quarterback who people act like only is a pair of legs. They act like all he has is a tush push. No, he throws a pretty ball. He doesn't turn the ball over that much. He had one bad interception. But for the most part,
He took care of business. He took care of the ball. And can we also take maybe a little bit of a nod to the Eagles defensive line who had a pressure game.
50% throughout the entire time without blitzing. It was just three or four guys and everybody's able to pin back their ears and get after the quarterback. It's incredible what can happen when the sod father's not doing some bullshit, but we can just pin back our ears, play on some turf and take care of business. Yeah. No, I mean the, the, the, the makes you wonder if the, if you played on a artificial turf two years ago would have been different. What do you, what do you, what are you pointing to Max? Yeah.
I just had an idea. Pug is here with the – it's a production. Pug is here with the vlog camera. I thought the audio would probably be better for that, so I told him to keep that rolling. Let's get Pug's thoughts too. I want to hear from Pug about his experience. Yeah, Pug. Get in here, Pug. Come on, Pug. You guys got to come back after though because we got to – yeah. But Pug, there he is. Pug, you are now 1-0 in Super Bowls. Get in the middle, Pug. Move over to the middle.
There you go. Pug, you're 1-0 in Super Bowls. People are calling you the Patrick Mahomes killer. Pug? I'm blessed. That's all I can say. I'm lucky to have been there. Blessed. Go Birds. Also, Max, no champagne helped too last night. Yes. We saw him holding champagne, but he was doing a good job. He had one hand over his mouth and the other hand holding the champagne. Pug, Pug, I got to ask you this question because when we – first of all, congratulations. You're a Super Bowl champ.
When we bought your ticket on Friday, there was a few people being like, oh, going to the Super Bowl by yourself? That would suck. I was like, I think that's the one game you can go by yourself. And then you gave an update in the first quarter, and it looked like you had your seatmate, an Eagles fan, literally sitting on your lap. Did you become best friends with that guy? Yeah, shout out Matt. He flew in on Friday from England to come to the game.
Was he by himself too?
Yeah. Oh, hell yes. Fuck yes. My whole session with the Eagles fans. So it was just like people I didn't know. I'm just like hugging people. I don't know at all. It was incredible. I love that. That's amazing. Pug, I'd like to get your review of the halftime show.
Yeah, halftime show was great. I would say the A minor line, like the whole stadium lit up. That was very cool. But one thing that it's kind of hard to pay, like on TV, they show you where to pay attention. Like they just show you on TV, like what it looks like. But when you're there, you have to like look for where on the stage they're actually doing it. It's kind of hard to keep track a little bit.
Yeah. That's pretty much it. So, Pug, what point in the game did you start being like, okay, this is happening. We're winning the Super Bowl. Like, end of the third quarter, I was feeling it. And then, like, when Mahomes, even like those last couple minutes when Mahomes scored very late, I was, I got nervous again. Like, because he's Mahomes. Yeah. What was the loudest moment? When did the dome get the loudest? The Cooper-Dejean pick six was like.
Crazy, crazy loud. Yeah. That's probably one. How was it going into the stadium? Did you guys go to the bar before going into the stadium? Did you pregame? We just had a couple Trulies at the condo, and then we just walked over. No bar. Just kind of walked. We're very close to the arena, so we just walked right over. That's awesome. It sounds like a great time. I'm so happy for you, Pug. I'm very happy for you, Pug. Very, very happy. How drunk is Max right now, Pug?
He's not too bad. Not too bad. He's going to get very drunk. He's going to get so drunk. Yeah, he's going to get very drunk. Later, later, I think. He's so sweaty. All right, Max, sit back down, Pug. You're the best. Congrats, Super Bowl champion Pug. Max, sit back down. Max, what would you like to say? Oh, why did you put on the sweatshirt? He's got champions. Okay. Max, what would you like to say to all the haters? What?
I don't really have much to say to the haters. I love the haters. The haters are what fuel me. The haters are what get me up in the morning. The haters are what get me to the podcast room and to say bad takes every day. I appreciate the haters. But I apologize to the haters because the narrative is over. The narrative of Max DeLente, certified loser, is over. And it's an up and down for them because they love that narrative.
As a producer, you know that's bad for the show. Yeah. Huh? As a producer, you know that's bad for the show. So part of you is like, damn. I would be lying if I didn't say it, if that didn't cross my mind. But you can't. Listen, you'll lose again, but you got to enjoy this win. You're a winner. Right now, I'm a winner. Are we thinking Titletown? Are we thinking Titletown, Max? I think every other team is going in the opposite direction. But the birds will always have this one.
Yeah, and maybe enough. I mean, what'd you say? We beat the fuck out of him. We beat the fuck out of him. We beat the fuck out of him. Okay, so...
Rest of the night. I have breaking moose. Breaking moose. I told you guys. I texted Max and Rowan congrats right after. I was like, I'll do everything in my power to try to get you guys with the team to party. And I've already made one text to Big Dom. He just replied. I said, we got to get Max and the boys into the party. He said, my paisan, you know I got them. Let's go.
You got to send that text to Big Tom and we got to get you going. I want to see Max and Roan like Eiffel Towering Nick Sirianni on a dance floor at 3 in the morning. It would be our pleasure. It would be such a blessing to be able to celebrate with those absolute champions. They could Eiffel Tower us. They do whatever they want with our bodies. We're their vessel right now. We're champions. Who's the one guy that you really want to party with tonight? Roan.
What time is your guys? Now, we didn't say this publicly, but you guys have a connecting flight tomorrow through Kansas City, which now will be the funniest flight. You do, Max, and so does Pug. So what time's your flight? Are you going to sleep tonight? I expect no sleep. My flight's at 1.30, so if I don't sleep, that would be bad. You might not sleep, but don't sleep. Well, at 1.30 would be tough.
I got to get a lot. All right, so – but that's going to be a hilarious flight. You got to vlog it, Max. You just being a conquering hero going back to Kansas City. The people of Kansas City are pretty nice. Like, I'm going to feel bad doing it, but I mean –
I got to do what I got to do. Yeah, you got to do it. I think they'll probably be pretty cool because they've won before. They wanted this one for the history, but they'll give you a lot of, yeah, you know, it's a pretty good feeling. Congrats, guys. We know how it is. I don't think they're going to be too pissed off at you. Yeah. No, yeah. They got wins. Go Birds. All right, so do you guys have any – yeah, go ahead, Roman. One thing –
I just think that this kind of rewrites the story of Max Delente as well. I think that Max Delente has fallen into this light of being a lovable loser and being the guy who just can't get over the hill. And he stormed up the hill today and he fucking planted his flag right at the summit of the hill. I think the way that we see this guy is going to be different. The way he carries himself is going to be different. The fucking way he feels in his ball
in his soul, in his bones is going to be different forever. You have to give this guy his flowers and we might turn into the most obnoxious people you've ever met in your fucking life. How's the foot feeling, Max? Foot's feeling great. My boot's still long.
I don't know what to do with this. You promised us a shoe. Shoeie, Shoeie, Shoeie, Shoeie, Shoeie, Shoeie, Shoeie, Shoeie. He said you'd do a Shoeie if you won. Max, I have to tell you, my wife was texting me as the game was ticking down. She was like, I'm actually nervous for Max. I'm nervous for his foot. I'm nervous for his well-being. Can someone please be there to help him? And I was like, well, Roan's going to be with him. That might not be a help because Roan's going to get smashed as well. Maybe Pug. Who?
Who knows? Someone will look after you. Let's go, Max. You deserve this, Max. Is this just going to spill everywhere? This is going to be the grossest smelling tasting thing ever. By the way, he's had this on all day. He's been walking around New Orleans in it. He had it on for a month. He's been wearing it down Bourbon Street. Is it spilling everywhere right now? There's so many old Elfers that's spilling. Drink it. You're spilling it. Drink it.
Shoot the boot. Oh, yeah. You're going to have a disease. How bad does Max smell, Ron? I think this is going to be retired. I think this is retired. How bad does he smell? No, Sharpie, get the players to sign it. Well, you can't retire that, Max. The playoffs next year. Yeah, it's like my vest. Yeah, you might have to.
You've got to have that. You cannot lose that boot. Or just keep it like a Lombardi trophy. I just have the movie all over me at the moment. How bad does Max smell, Roan?
Oh, horrendous. I don't even want him to answer. I smell bad right now. We all have been sweating, though. We all are just sweating our dicks off. We're just co-mingling body odors. Me, Pug, and Max are just having a perfect cocktail, a Neapolitan ice cream with three different body odors going on right now. It smells delicious.
I got to say, if there's one place in the world to be world champions for a night, I feel like New Orleans is right at the top of that list. Yeah. You guys are going to have an absolute blast. Yeah, it is. It's perfect. It's perfect. All right. Well, congrats, boys. Max, we'll see you on Tuesday. Roan, we'll see you when we see you. Belt to ass. You guys are world champs. And that was...
You did it in a fucking way that was just never a doubt. Never a doubt. You beat the fuck out of the big bad giant. Yeah. You absolutely destroyed him. And it's no doubt Jalen Hurts, MVP. He's a top, what, three quarterback? Two. Two. Top two quarterback. Top two. Where would you guys put him? Realistically. I don't know. We got to save that discussion for like May. I think right now he's one.
Right now he's one. He's Super Bowl MVP. He's one right now. That's true. We've got to be consistent. If you're the MVP of the championship, then you are no doubt the alpha of that team and the best player. Yeah. He's number one. Number one right now. One more question. Yeah.
Pete, does that make you feel better about your loss? Well, about like 20 minutes in the game, I thought to myself, like, how good does this look for the commanders? He's doing another shoeie. Yeah. Chug, chug, chug. Honestly, Max, I'm very happy for you and Roan on a personal level. Roan, you should do one. Obviously, the birds. Yeah. Big rival. Roan's going to do one. Oh, no. Oh, no. This is how swine flu starts.
It tastes like so much foot. Pug, get one. Get one, Pug. Pug, Pug, Pug, Pug, Pug. Oh. Oh. Oh, Pug. Our beautiful Pug. Yeah. Yeah, we can see. Pug looks like he smells so much better than Max.
Pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, pug, P

Congrats to the boys. That was great. The boys are buzzing. I did like that Max just started talking about every game from the season, not the Super Bowl.
Well, no, he had the speech ready to go. He's like, you need to respect us as one of the all-time greats. And that's the conversation you have to have after a Super Bowl ass-kicking like that. You've got to stand on the table for your guys. Yeah, it was – I mean, they deserve it. And Jalen Hurts did get a lot of heat in the media, and he performed perfectly. All right, anything else from the game?
Couple things. Yeah, go ahead. Credit to part of my take guests last week. Yes. Because Lane Johnson gave us the Gatorade color. He did. Pays to listen to PMT. Chris Berman gave us DeAndre Hopkins anytime touchdown. That was plus 500 or plus 425, depending when you got it. Yep. So good on them. And congratulations to Hank for winning. You're just a winner, Hank. Yeah. Just a winner. Great, great season. Great bet.
Happy for the Eagles. I got revenge as well. Yep. I appreciate them. Just, you know, it really helps the narrative because this show is narrative based show. It's a conversation that would have never stopped. And now it doesn't have to. Yeah. Shadow Tales. Tales.
the hills was two and a half quarterbacks two and a half past uh players to attempt to pass did not think we would get it no kenny pickett in a blowout no on a fourth down no doinks no doinks a lot of clean kicks thanks hank sorry you lost your bet hank sorry we lost lamar jackson no worries yeah but congrats to josh yeah we yeah we should actually talk about that for a second in a minute uh
I had a couple other things. So, yeah, Lane Johnson, what an absolute animal. That offensive line was so good tonight. They're so heavy. So heavy. That stat that they showed was insane, where it was the average weight of the birds' offensive line. What was it, like 340 pounds? Yeah. And in the first Super Bowl, the average weight was 240? Yeah. That's crazy. It was crazy. I feel like there's going to be like an NHL –
level injury report that comes out about Chris Jones too. Cause he was, he looked bad after like the first series when they were like going at his neck and his knee got fucked up and it's going to be like some crazy, he was playing through some crazy injuries that he probably shouldn't have even been playing. Yeah. Yeah. Um, the, um,
Also, we had some astute – I wanted to share this with you guys, some astute analysis by Brett Favre after the game. He said, not the most entertaining game, but it's difficult to even get to there. And with a bunch of teams improving, next year will be interesting what to make of it. I agree with Brett Favre. Yeah. Sorry, it will be interesting what two make it. So what two teams make it. That's some great – that's some great –
That's Magic Johnson level shit right there. Yes. No one's ever accused Brett Favre of having a Magic Johnson. Do we have any quotes from Patch Mahomes or Travis Kelsey after? Mahomes tweeted. What'd he say? It was just like, we let everyone down. That's on me. I'll pull it up. Also, I got eyes on the postgame presser from Mahomes. He changed into a t-shirt. I...
I understand why, but if you wear the troll suit going in, I feel like you should face the music and wear it afterwards. Yeah, you should. Appreciate all the love and support from Chiefs Kingdom. I let you all down today. I'll always continue to work and try to learn and be better for it. Want to give thanks to God for every opportunity he's given me. We will be back. Okay. I do feel bad for DeAndre Hopkins a little bit.
Because that was, you know, that was his, that was, he's an incredible player and that was his one chance. I don't know how much longer he's going to be there. Xavier Worthy with the quietest eight receptions, 157 yards and two touchdowns of all time. All time. Wait, DeAndre Hopkins talked about the refs? What did he say? There was a lot of touchy calls. Y'all going to report that?
Oh, that's not great. You got your ass kicked. Yeah, you got your ass absolutely kicked. Was it pass interference on that wide open drop that he had? Yeah, yeah. He dropped that one pretty bad. That's a little salty. That's a little salty. Don't like that. He did get a touchdown, though. He did. He did. He scored a touchdown in the Super Bowl. I'm just seeing this right now.
Philadelphia schools have a two-hour delay tomorrow. Just cancel. Yeah. Honestly, there's not going to be any learning done. Yeah. They greased the polls in New Orleans. Did you also see the, I think it was the Four Seasons, downtown Philadelphia, they just took away the awning.
Because they're like, we don't want people jumping off of this. Smart. That was like on Saturday. They just drove the awning away. It was great. What do you got, memes? Like win or lose. Yeah, win or lose. They were like, we got to get this awning out of here. Jack McCarthy keeps having Max do fake ads and just doing a shoeie with each one. Except me, Truly, and Dove.
Can you play them for us on the show right now? Let's play them. Yeah, I'm going to DM it. I'm going to DM it to Max. Oh, this is great. That's a good move by Jack McCarthy. I can't believe his mic didn't work for the first 10 minutes. Just so perfect. It's great. I also love, you have to watch the YouTube, but he was wearing the overalls. He took the sweatshirt off for a lot of it. And the overall, the right strap just falling down the entire time. Yeah. Just pulling it back up like he was Sidney Sweeney dumping out of his bra.
Any Super Bowl ads? I mean, I feel like we knew the Doritos one. Doritos one was good. Reese's one was good. I met the Doritos ad guys when they were down in New Orleans. The two guys that made that commercial. They were fucking pumped to get a million bucks. Yeah. I like the Lilo and Stitch. Great movie. Good nostalgia there. Oh, here's Max. Okay, here we go. Here's fake ad number one. This is so funny.
This is such a great call by Jack. It was a long day. It was a long day. We came out victorious. The birds are champions. And I happen to be sweaty. I happen to be a little sweaty throughout the day. You know, it's a pretty hot place. You know, tensions are flying. But even though I was a little sweaty, even though my boot was a little sweaty, I didn't smell. And you know why? Because Dove Mencare Whole Body Dio.
Keeps you feeling right all day. It keeps you feeling right all day. Shout out, Doug. Shout out the whole body, Dio. All right, that one is real. The truly one is fake. Okay, let's see the truly one. We did it. The birds are champs. Yes, sir.
Come on now. And it's time to celebrate. Come on now. We're going out in NOLA. Yeah. We're going to have the time of our lives. Yeah. And I said, I will do it. Pretty sober. Do it. I did it on the show. Uh-huh. I'm going to do it again for you right now. Truly is the best feeling. I hope he did this after the dump when he sprayed it down. Truly is the best feeling. There's so many holes in that thing.
Let's go shout out Truly. Shout out the birds. Let's have a night. Yes, sir. What do we think about Kendrick's halftime performance? I thought it was like a 20 minute advertisement for Drake being a pedophile.
He has way better songs he should have played. That, I like Kendrick Lamar, but he has some of his best. It's the Super Bowl. You should play the hits. Yeah, well, listen, I am a Kendrick Lamar fan. I think he's a really good artist. I don't think it makes a whole lot of sense as a Super Bowl halftime show. Yeah, I'd agree. But still, it was very funny when he looked at the camera and was like, hey, Drake. And then he threw that line in when he talked about like, oh, he wants to play the song, but you like to sue people.
That was funny. It was also funny comparing that to the NFL playing two separate ads with Tom Brady and Snoop Dogg to stop all hate. And then Kendrick Lamar, his entire halftime performance was just hate. Yeah. They had Serena Williams on stage who used to date Drake, crip walking.
Like rubbing in his face. Somebody said there was someone else on stage that used to be associated with Drake. I didn't think it was the best Super Bowl halftime show, except for not like us at the end. We kind of all were waiting for that.
Yeah, but isn't it weird that the NFL just like gave their biggest platform to be like, hey, we're just going to like fuck Drake up for 20 minutes at halftime. And no offense, Kendrick Lamar, but I do still think it should have been a little weight. That would have been awesome. That would have been great. Actually, I'm going to agree with our good friend Michael Greer. He has a great idea for the next halftime show. Okay. I feel like we should get behind it as a podcast. Yeah.
ACDC. Ooh. ACDC at halftime would fucking rock. That would rock. They do kind of go back and forth where they'll do a newer, and then they'll, remember it was, who was it? Was Bruce Springsteen? That was a long time ago. That was a long time ago. Yeah, but they do sometimes throw in some old stuff.
Older acts. If it was ACDC at halftime, just banger after banger. Yeah. Also, Taylor Swift got booed. Yep. That was kind of funny. Also, crazy stat that that was the first time a sitting president attended a Super Bowl. Yeah. Yeah. That seems impossible. I guess it's because presidents used to always call the head coach after the Super Bowl. So a president was always involved.
But they were just never there. But you wouldn't think they'd be like, let's go to the game? Yeah. It's America's biggest event. That's what I would do. Yeah. Same. I mean, what a game. Jalen Hurst and that Eagles defensive line. The whole Eagles defense. I don't know if this stat's true. Here's a new segment of part of my take. Stat that I read online, and I don't care to fact check because I prefer it if it's true. That's every stat. Ready? Ready.
The Eagles are now 6-6-6 and 6-6-6 all time. Whoa. When you include the playoffs. Whoa. There's some draws in there, some ties that aren't included. Okay. But, yeah. Wow. Mark of the beast. So there are signs. Mm-hmm. So this was all planned. This was satanic, yes. This was all planned to have this exact thing happen. Mm-hmm. What are the people who say that it's rigged for the Chiefs say now? Sorry? I don't know. No, no, they don't say sorry. You got a good start.
Yeah, that A.J. Brown OPI, that was your moment. You had one moment. Okay, honestly, here's what they say. The block got too hot. Too many people started to catch on to it, so they had to go completely in the opposite direction. And like DeAndre Hopkins says, the refs gave the Eagles the Super Bowl. Yes. That's what you say if you're a Chiefs-rigged guy. Question, does Travis Kelsey retire? Probably not. I don't know. I think it would be crazy to retire. I think he does.
When you're linked to Patrick Mahomes, even if you aren't what you used to be, you might as well show up for another season and you know you're going to be in the playoffs. We've already given the AFC West. Yeah. But he...
It's clear that, I mean, he was a non-factor in this game. That was also the Eagles' defense being incredible. Yeah, I mean, last year, the first thing that he said after the game was over was, we're coming back for three. Yeah. Right? Yeah. So he has had it in his head for the last two seasons, like keep playing and try to get... The goal is to get three Super Bowls in a row. Now that you don't get that, I feel like that was a big driving factor in him spending another offseason staying in shape to play football. Yeah. Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if he did, but...
I don't know. He can still play. Yeah, absolutely. He played pretty well in the playoffs. The first game of the playoffs. Yeah. The last two games, he was kind of nothing. I think he'll probably be back, but... Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. These are the questions. I think he's done. You think he's done? Yeah. I think Tay-Tay says, hey, let's go start a family. Yeah. And, like, he doesn't...
he's got the podcast his brother retired it's like dude like imagine how much better the podcast would be if you retired too that would suck though being like right you know in 10 or five years from now when he's retired and it's like hey you were you're on the wrong side of 40 and it was time to retire but like if you retire this year and then mahomes wins another title it's like fuck i could like getting off that boat which would be very painful
I would probably do a fuckload of steroids this offseason. Yeah. And then come back for one more year. One more year. Hope you don't get piss tested. Yeah. And then if you get piss tested. Well, the NFL needs you for Taylor Swift. Blame it on Taylor. No, if you get piss tested, you retire on the spot. You could also blame it on Taylor and then send the Swifties at the NFL. That's true.
That's true. That's probably your... That's actually a perfect crime. Yeah, you're a pervert, Roger. Yeah, the steroids got shipped to Taylor. Yeah, right. And then the Swifties will just go after Roger and make his life hell, and then they'll just be like, you know what? We can't suspend him. I love that, Hank. The old Peyton Manning. Yeah. She was taking him? Yeah. No, but what's to stop you if you get the letter and they're like, hey, you have a piss test in 12 hours? Just be like, my body's breaking down at this point. I need to spend more time with my family.
I got to retire. I'm retiring. That would be the way to do it, right? Yeah. Like load up on steroids this offseason and then just hope you don't get that note. And if you do, okay, well then go do your podcast and date the most famous woman in the world. Pretty good alternative. Yeah. I got a rowback question. We want to talk about Josh Allen MVP in a second. Rowback question. R-H-O-B-A-C-K dot com promo code take 20% off your first purchase. Q-Zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts. Rowback dot com promo code take. My rowback question is actually for memes.
Memes. Memes. You had some quarterback news today. Aaron Rodgers allegedly flew to New York to talk to Jets ownership, and they said, no, we don't want you.
What's happening? It's over. It is. The Aaron Rodgers experience is officially over. Damn. And the Devante Adams, unfortunately. So you think that's definitely a package deal? Because I was talking to memes earlier and I was like, memes, how do you sell yourself? Because I feel like you're going to spend the next three months just saying names, just muttering names to yourself. Yeah. And he's like, well, it's going to be great because we're
We're going to get rid of Devontae Adams. And I was like, wait, like three months ago, Devontae Adams was the solution to everything. Now getting rid of him is the solution. It is a solution because if you look at the cap hit, it's $35 million. And you could get five guys with that money compared to one aging receiver. And all the toppings and a giant bag full of fries. Yeah. It's a good deal on top.
That's true. So what are you going to do? You can draft a quarterback? You can draft a quarterback, but if we're going to suck, I would rather just have fun watching football and just go with Jameis Winston for 17 games. Jameis. Love that. Bridge, but Bridge didn't win a Super Bowl. He said on the part of my tech interview that he wants to be a Bridge quarterback and he wants to win a Super Bowl. I'm sold.
He's the guy, 17 games. Nobody's given him a shot for 17 games since the Buccaneers. Actually, the Saints did. He started off 5-2, beat the number one team in the NFC, then got hurt. Seriously injured, yes. Seriously injured. But if he comes to the Jets, starts all 17 games, number one seed, Super Bowl. Wow. Okay. Wow. And the playbook's out there on how he beat Mahomes. Can you pull up the Super Bowl ads on DraftKings for next year? Oh, I love doing that.
I would imagine the Eagles are the favorites to win the Super Bowl next year. I wonder where some of the other teams...
It's always fun to look at these. All right, so the Eagles right now are plus 600. The Chiefs are plus 700. This is all in DraftKings. Bills plus 700. Ravens plus 700. Lions 9-1. And then it starts falling off to the Niners, 15. Where are you, Commanders? 18-1. I love that. The Bears are 40-1. The Patriots are 80-1. And the Jets are 130-1.
Oh, Chargers, Shane, 28-1.
We had good odds this year in suck dick. That's true. That's true. Who's the bottom? Titans? Titans and Giants. Giants, yeah. 20,000. Giants. Plus 20,000. I saw that clip of Saquon just shotgunning a beer so fast. And yeah, it's been a bad year for the Giants. Not great. Not a great year for the Giants. So our good friend Josh Allen won MVP. Congrats to Josh. That was awesome. That was awesome. Very happy for Josh. I was very excited for Josh. Yeah.
I was so hyped. We went and saw him. We got to hang out with him for a few minutes after he won...
The MVP. You got kind of emotional because right after they gave it to him, I heard some sniffles. Yeah, I couldn't sleep. Yeah, I couldn't sleep. I was up until like 3 in the morning just thinking about Josh winning the MVP. I was so fucking pumped for him. So congrats, Josh. I am very, very happy for him. Yes. We all are. Very cool to see. It sucks that he hasn't been able to get to a Super Bowl, but winning MVP, being the best player in the league for a year...
is pretty awesome. So at the after party that we were lucky enough to get into, Josh was there and he had a reception line like it was his wedding where you greet everybody that came out there. You say hi to them for about five seconds, shake their hand, move on to the next person. Honestly, it must be pretty exhausting to win an MVP. Yes. That night must be very tiring. Yes. So we get up to him. We hand our phone. Yeah, me, Hank, and Big Cat go up to Josh, shake his hand. I think he was pumped to see us.
We hand the phone to Ryan Fitzpatrick, who was standing next to us. Yes. And we're like, Fitzy, can you take this picture? He's like, yeah, I got you, boys. Took like, I don't know, six pictures. Probably spent 10 seconds taking the pictures. Handed the phone back. We look at it. My eyes are just closed in most of them. Mine weren't. The complete opposite of big cats.
And we're like, hey, Josh, can we take some more pictures real quick? And Josh was like, yeah, absolutely, guys. Fitzy also took some selfies for my phone. So I have some selfies in my phone of Fitzy. Me and Big Cat are wearing t-shirts. PFT was wearing at least a collared shirt. I think we were the only people out of like five of us wearing a t-shirt. I walked in and I'm wearing a t-shirt with a Joker on it and a purple hat.
Hank, that's a $2,000 shirt that I'm wearing. And I've never felt more out of place in my entire life. It was so hot in New Orleans, and I was so excited that I actually showed up in a sweatshirt, and I just threw it out. I just threw it. I left it. I just threw it on the ground. I was like, I'm just not going to have this anymore. You got so pumped. I was so pumped. I'm the number one Josh Allen fan, clearly.
So far, he was nervous beforehand, too. He was grinding his teeth and they're about to make the announcement. I was like, ah, he's so nervous. I just hope he wins. I wanted him to win really bad. All right. Should we wrap up with who's back of the week?
Who's back of the week is brought to you by our friends at Reese's Reese's peanut butter cups are the perfect combo of chocolate and peanut butter Reese's peanut butter cups may be even more perfect with a layer of ooey gooey delicious chocolate lava. You can buy Reese's cups basically anywhere. It's lava time, baby. Try Reese's new delicious chocolate lava big cup. We were having them.
basically the last month. I love them. They are so, so good. I'm a huge Reese's guy. The Reese's Lava Cups are so good. Go get them right now. Who's Back of the Week is going to be brought to you by Uber Eats, our great friends at Uber Eats.

They make it very easy, and you can get almost, almost anything. Okay, Hank. My Who's Back of the Week is Dickie V. Yeah, Dickie V. Yes. He announced the Duke-Clemson game. Duke joked, but Dickie V, after a battle with cancer, is back on the mic, and that was beautiful to see. It is. He's so excited.
I love Dickie V. It was awesome to see him back. Good for the sport. I was like, all right, it's college basketball time. And I was lucky enough to be greeted to Dickie V's first game. Dickie V, he was college basketball for a very, very long time. He was the first person you thought of. Yeah. Does Cooper Flag have a sweating problem?
He works hard. That's the second. I think Duke's only lost three games, but two of the three losses he has tripped and fallen at the end of the game because he's sweating so much. I'd say they got to step up their towel game, their mop game. Rico Bosco, is Duke one of his guys? Is he like a friend of the program? I don't think so. They should ask him. I don't think so. He's just a Nate Oates guy. Also, Wu-Tang is back. Oh, how? They're coming out with a new album.
Love that. Hell yes. 37 chambers. Don't let Martin Shkreli buy this one. Yeah. Yeah. Like all of Wu-Tang? Yeah, I think so. Well, not ODB. Right. RIP. RIP.
Your who's back. My who's back. I actually had an insult stat and I was going to do an insult stat, but it doesn't feel right because it's about the Sixers. Oh, and you can't. Tonight is not the night to shit on Philadelphia. Let's hear it. All right. Insult stat that I'm not going to say that I was going to say, but I'm not going to out of respect for the city of champions tonight. Since joining the Sixers, Paul George has uploaded more podcast clips to YouTube. 228.com.
Then field goals made. Oh, no. Oh, no. I'll say this. Respect the grind. His social guy is doing a great job. Yeah. Like 228 podcast clips. Like, you know, you know how to generate revenue. That's pretty good. You're looking for your future after you're done playing. But then the field goals made 191. That doesn't sound quite as great. Yeah. I saw an insult tweet tonight that hurt me, but also was very accurate. It said, if you ever wondered what it would look like if the Bears had drafted Patrick Mahomes.
This is what it is. Yeah. That was an insult tweet. Yeah, you have to tie everything. If you don't have a dog in the fight, you have to find a way to make the Super Bowl about your team a little bit. Yeah. I mean, that was just some random guy who I think he, I don't even think he was a Bears fan. I think he was just stating the fact that this is what it would look like.
Yeah, probably. So that's not going to be my Who's Back of the Week, but it was going to be until Philly won. Do you want to say what you said in the gambling cave about the commanders, how you were happy? Oh, yeah, yeah. Also...
If you are a fan of a team that's in the same division as a Super Bowl champion, you have to figure out a way to spend zone it a little bit. Yeah. It's good that the Eagles won. This is what PFT said in the middle of the game. It's good because number one, now people in the offseason aren't going to be sucking the commander's dick so much and picking them to win the NFC East. If you have the reigning champion, you have to give them that respect. So I'm glad that that's not going to be the case. Also,
The Commander's loss doesn't look so bad right now. True. Because the Eagles are a really fucking good team. True. True. All right. My who's back is yet again another ridiculous fallout from the Luca trade. Patrick Dumont, who's the owner or governor, sorry, of the Dallas Mavericks, had a statement and he said...
In my mind, the way teams win is by focus, by having the right character, by having the right culture, and having the right dedication to work as hard as possible to create a championship-winning outcome. And if you're not doing that, you're going to lose. If you look at the greats in the league, the people you and I grew up with, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, they worked really hard every day with a singular focus to win. And if you don't have that, it doesn't work out. If you don't have that, you shouldn't be part of the Dallas Mavericks.
Shaquille O'Neal was one of the names he said there. Noted, I will basically not work out all summer and I'll get in shape when the season starts. Play my way into shape. Yeah. It was... I mean, it's still crazy that we're... They somehow are making it worse. The worst trade ever, they're making it worse. Also, A.D. is hurt. Yeah, A.D. Davis got hurt. He's out for several weeks, maybe a month. I did see... Also, Dalton Connect is back. Yeah, Dalton Connect, good call, man. That's gotta be awkward. So, yeah, I was thinking about this. Dalton Connect... The trade guy, I think...
There was medical issues, so the trade got vetoed. Yeah, so he gets traded to the Horex for Mark Williams. Mark Williams has to pass a physical. Allegedly, he did not pass that physical. Correct. But all they said was there was some clause in the trade that was not satisfied. So now Don't Connect has to go back to Los Angeles. The trade deadline has passed. What's that like going back in the locker room after they traded you? A little awkward. Yeah.
Like you're a cat that you tried to just drop off on the outskirts of town. And he found his way back. Found his way back there. Yeah. Wait, where's Ben Simmons going? He's on the Clippers. He got bought out. Oh, perfect. He made like $84 million with the Nets. Speaking of the Luka thing, one last thing. Mads Muse, shout out Mads Muse on Twitter. He said, boy, Mahomes sure is struggling in the championships.
Perhaps they should trade him in the dead of night and call him fat on the way out. That's pretty much it. That would be what happens. Yeah. If they traded Mahomes in the next week and they're like, yeah, he's fat. We had to do it. Or Andy Reid. Yeah. Can't do it. Okay. Good show, boys. Football season's over. What season is it now?
It's college basketball season. But yeah, it is vacation. We are. So this week we will have a show on Wednesday. Pretty big guests on Wednesday. And then we will have our Dungeons and Dragons episode on Friday with Tim Woods. Nick joins us. And that will be we're going on vacation for a few days. We take a vacation after football season and then we'll be back on
on Monday. We're going to do a zoom episode on Monday and we have a extended NBA preview with Ryan Rosillo. Yeah, it's a really good preview. So, uh, that will be the schedule, but regular show on Wednesday. We'll, we'll have a show every single day. We don't miss shows, but, we will be taking a short vacation. Where are you going? Hank?
Arizona. Nice. Golf. Golf. How many rounds? Four. Fuck yes. Love that. Also, Max is taking a vacation the week after we take a vacation. Yep. He's going where? He's going to Aspen. Tahoe. Tahoe. Yeah. Tahoe. Yeah. So me and Big Cat, this is the second year that we've done this. The first time was in Normandy.
Yeah. We accidentally scheduled our vacations to go to the exact same place without telling each other where we were going. Yeah. So if you see us, we're not going to say where we're going, but if you see us and you, because I get it every time. I got it in France when people were like, they saw me on the streets of France. They're like, where's PFT? I was like, dude, I don't know. We're on vacation. This time it actually will work. If you see one of us on vacation and you ask where the other one is, we just be like, yeah, he's down the hall right over there. Yeah.
Look down the pool. Completely unintentionally. Yeah. But we will. We'll have fun. We're going to go out to dinner one night. Yep. Okay. Numbers. Also, Wednesday, maybe we pick up some hobbies now that football's over. We'll bring some hobbies. That's what we did last year. What are you going to do with no football? Yeah. Should I text Pug? Pug should get a say in this, right? Yeah. See if he can submit a number. Also, I'm getting roasted on Twitter for calling it a score bug.
What do you mean? That's what it is. It's a score bug. Yeah, some guy said, the fuck is a score bug? It's called a scoreboard. That shit is called a scoreboard. That's just not true. Yeah, no. All right, Pug says 99, Max says 11. This guy's so wrong. It's not even close. The scoreboard is in the stadium. Okay, Pug 99, Max 11. Numbers for everyone else. 33. 55. 5. 3. 21. Jack. Jack.
55. Did you guys know Jack's last name? Yeah. Wiper? Yep. It's pretty cool. I like it. Jack Wiper. I like it. I'm not going to do a translate still. Roman Swipe? I was just going to say middle school t-shirt. Okay. 40. 33. 3. 21. 65. So close, Jack. Love you guys.
