Speaker 2 (00:16):
Huge hype around this year's Super Bowl. While joining us
now is Ben Harlem. He is serious exim host and
he is there live being very very good afternoon to you.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Bye guys. How are you? I am literally here in
the concourse watching from Afar and seeing what's happening. What
a good court first quarter so far?
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Yeah, amazing, Eagles are hid well, a clearly incredible atmosphere.
We can see that on the TV. I can only
imagine what it's like to be there. It's the crowd
going for the Eagles or the chief who's the favorite
with the people there.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Look As someone who lives in New York normally, I
know that the Philadelphia fans are very vocal. They can
be very outlandish, and they can be crazy, and they
are living up to their reputation at the moment. They
are going insane at the moment.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
So with Trump and Taylor Swift, the how is the
security getting into the ground?
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Yeah with us? So I was trying to work out
all morning was was the police escort for the President
or for Taylor Swift? He was shown during the national
anthem to a very mixed reaction. Taylor Swift was also
shown on the screen, again to a very mixed reaction.
So that sort of shows you the half and half
fans that are here. I know who I would prefer
(01:28):
to be in a suite with, and it's not the President,
I'll tell you that much. I much prefer Taylor Swift
and her celebrity booth.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
How did you get to go to the Super Bowl?
Did you have to pay or is this a business
you there? Professionally?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
I would love to say that me doing this cross
with you makes it attacked right off. But I did
get my ticket through work. I didn't have to pay
the five thousand New Zealand dollars that they were going
for earlier today, by luckily paid face value, So I'm
very lucky.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
And where about your seats?
Speaker 3 (01:58):
You know what? I was up in the nosebleeds and
then someone came to me and said, hey, my sister
actually had better seats. Do you want to swap? So
I went down to the next section down and she
went up to set with a family like this was
a bonus? Is the best?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
And in terms of the hype leading up to the
Super Bowl. Beam, What has it been like on the
ground in America? Is it kind of the talk on
the street everyone is discussing this particular super Bowl. Is
it that big with people on the ground every week?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Yeah, absolutely so here in New Orleans for the week,
it's been crazy. Like I was here. I was in
Vegas last year and I thought that was like in
like crazy. Sorry I'm saying crazy a lot. I thought
that the atmosphere was really intense last year in Vegas,
but this year is something else. It feels like that
everybody's been talking about the game. Everybody has a has
(02:45):
an opinion on who they think's going to win. It's
been really fun to watch, actually, it's been I know
that the Taylor Swiss hype was a lot last year,
but that stuff has died down. It's been very much
everybody either excited for the game or the chicken wings
and beerd that they're drinking at home now.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Being I'm feeling guilty keeping on the concourse, when you
get back to the game, it's an amazing situation you're
missing out on here. But which team looks like they've
got this stuff early on?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
You know what? Eagles have been very good in that
first quarter and they really have shut down everything that
the Chiefs have have delivered. But Chie's just caught an
Eagles pass and they're trying to get down the field.
So look, at the end of the day, you can't
bet against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs have already done
it two years in a row. They are down at
the moment, so we'll see if the Eagles condyle things
up for the rest of the game.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Well, thank you so much for talking to us, Ben Harlem,
serious XM host, very very jealous that you're there. You
go back to your seats and you have a fantastic time,
and you know, give them a taste of keywing.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
All right here, I go back on my seat.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I love it there. Thank you very much. That has
been Harlem's serious ExM host. Oh man, you got to
feel pretty jealous by the man.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Yeah, I certainly do.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Look as Australian at an American game, so give them
a taste key is not probably the right thing to say.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Well, you did say up the words. There was a
nice place to end that year.
