Speaker 1 (00:05):
And when I woke up this morning, I was feeling
pretty dangerous. Tonos tonight they are what we thought they
were and we let about Hello, you plenty to win
the gate. They want you to cook the dinner. At
least they ought to let your shop for some of
the groceries. And on the way up, we're gonna buy
the kneecap Off playoffs. Here kidding me. I'm just here
(00:25):
so I won't get fine. How could he not be
romantic about football? H Welcome to bench with Vanetta. It
is super Bowl week, baby, so buckle up. Listen. Every
time I listen to a podcast and they're like, oh
my god, Annie issues, this person couldn't work to remember,
I'm like, oh my god, nobody cares. But this time
you have to know that we've just been the last
thirty five minutes figuring out some audio because it is
(00:48):
so imperative that this woman joins this show. I am
joined by two of my favorite gals in comedy and sports,
Megan Gaily, Sarah ta Janna. Can everyone here? Is everyone good?
I'm obsessed with both of you. Thank you for being
on the show. I love you guys. Should we harmonize
like a Meg what was that journey? Like you were
(01:14):
just so dedicated to fixing the audio situation, and we
really appreciate it. Roger Goodell dropped the ball, is what
you were saying. Yeah, I was able to catch up
on some tweet Twitter. I was like sitting here, going
I could have showered, but I didn't. And that's like
that's who you want. You want unshowered, tired, confused. I
(01:35):
want the real you. And I'm so grateful that you
guys are here, especially this week, like I saved the
best guests for one of the last episodes of the year. Um,
obviously we're gonna get to the super Bowl. We're gonna
break it down, We're gonna be really smart for y'all.
But first things first, I want to talk about the
dumber version of the Super Bowl, which is the Pro Bowl,
which we all loved. No I'm saying, I'm saying in
(01:57):
a late fun way. We love the b and we
love the Pro Bowl. We love the Pro Boil, we
love problem Sarah. You you like couldn't stop watching it
this weekend. You had it on in the car. I
had it on the car, like I First of all,
I was like, I just put it on passively on Sunday,
I was, you know, and then all of a sudden
I was hooked. And I was so invested in the
(02:18):
NFC winning because when you've been just hurt by your
Falcons all year, you're like, oh, I want to cheer
for what's it like to cheer for players that are good?
And so I was, I was hooked. I put it
on in the car, but I thought the Best Catch
competition was by far the coolest thing that they did.
It's like their version of the Slam Dunk contest, and
(02:40):
I wish more people had done it. But when they
were just like kind of setting it up, they were
showing Amanra st Brown in a pool like jumping and
catching the ball to practice, and I was like, and
I don't know if you've ever seen Amanre with his
shirt off, but he is maybe the most perfect species
man I've ever seen. And rapping him to into a
(03:01):
pool over and over again to catch a football is,
I thank you, one of the greatest decisions. It's also
a challenge that has been on RuPaul's drag race. So
I love they took a page for a world of
wonder just kind of creativity anywhere. I full disclosure. Was
at a lake house in Indiana, WHI twelfth Sororities this
(03:23):
past weekend, so the Pro Bowl was not on the TV,
but I have catchup caught up on the clips, and
I think the lightning and a bottle of having two
brothers competing in terms of Peyton and Eli, that raises
the stakes. It's like we need that, and let's pick
brothers from Middle America that have never played football and
(03:46):
have to coach, you know, have bragging rights of who
mom likes the best on the line um and then
also getting to see like the mediocre players with the stars.
By the time the Pro Bowl gets there, you go,
it's a grab bag. We do have some Pro bowlers,
and we do have some guys that were just free
just there and I really schedules seeing Yes, I love
(04:10):
seeing that because you're like Derek cart, this is the
most passionate I've seen you for sure. Did you see
the video of him? Was just like, you know, like
you played so well. Yeah, it's the like that's the
best play. Is probably why I'm not here anymore. It's
like very funny. And I when a when a Jesus
guy can go out and do a last sah, what
(04:33):
were gonna say? Oh, I was just gonna say that.
I think that the flag football game was really fun
because a these guys grew up playing flag football, so
it was like a lot of stuff that they hadn't
done since they were younger. Their helmets are off, they're
talking way more smack. At one point, Stefan digs through
an interception to tray Vonnes. It was like it was
(04:55):
it was perfect harmony. And then you have like kind
of older like like Michael Vick was like throwing passes
in the best Catch competition. Jimmy Clawson was there like
like Jimmy Clawson, like I remember when he was at
Notre Dame and I was like, yeah, it was just
it was I thought it was really well done, really
(05:15):
well executed. I thought that the stakes were raised. I
thought it was really fun to watch. I also think
it kind of gave us some ease, Like I feel
like people love to make fun of the Pro Bowl, like, oh,
no one's playing in it, and like also when you're watching,
you're like, oh, I'll just please nobody get hurt. This
totally took that off the table. It's like you could
see how much joy these guys. They were like, this
(05:36):
is fun, and I feel like the guys that didn't
participate this year, they all saw what we saw and
they're like, I'm definitely gonna do that next year, and
then that's just gonna make it more and more interesting
for us to watch. I think they nailed it. And
with the dollars on the line, which I know might
sound like, oh, NFL players are fine with that money,
but like, I'm sorry, they could probably catch that check
(05:57):
in any casino in Vegas and the absolute perfect place
to have forts on the last absolutely began spending money
for these guys and now I'm sure they're betting that
check against each other. Like it's just um, I realised,
like the hats the excessive they were able to to
(06:18):
be able to run full speed in a bucket. I
loved this moment. This is so good. Yeah. Do you
guys think he snapped one single picture? I don't think
I've seen the other side, the actual picture yet, so
I'm thinking you did not pass the button one time?
Ross That would have definitely gone viral by now. Anyone
knows how to use a camera. It's Stefan Diggs. Okay, well, brothers,
(06:43):
was it was the was the overarching theme, right, but Meg,
you're a huge you're obviously a manning stand with your
your colts fandom, there was there was quite a little
bit of multiple temper tantrums throne might I say, by
Peyton and he was getting fully into it. So just
you know, represent your boy, are you Are you happy
with this much enthusiasm where you're like, okay, well cool.
(07:05):
It was Pro Bowl. I don't even think of them
as temper tantrum's. I think that's how Peyton is everywhere.
It almost seems like he's gotten more competitive since retiring,
Like he's like, well, this is all I have. I
hoped to win the Pro Bowl um, and I love
to see it. I think he's right, And I think
(07:27):
if you're not set, then what are we even doing.
I think they should coach. They should coach every single year.
They were just as much of the entertainment. In my opinion.
It was giving things, giving vibes like oh, they're not
going to be able to come back inside after this.
And so that's why I think, like we don't even
(07:47):
need famous brothers. It's like you can have my brother
Ryan and Michael, and I know that they will bring
up something that happened in and I'm watching that. I
like the brother aspect, like I think Travis and Jason
could do, and I think the Cook Brothers could do.
And also I think the NFL is right with Eskimo Brothers,
(08:08):
so we could just use that. Okay, where do we
Where do we stand on Pete Davidson at this point
in time? Because he he was even like why am
I here holding up a sixty nine? He's got a
totally completely shaved head. Where where do we say where?
I don't know what to think or feel why Pete
Davidson was there. We know why Pete Davidson was there?
(08:31):
Why because you know who follows men in the Pro
Bowl to Vegas. He seems like a massive get for them,
though like really had to call in some favors. It
is nice to see him with all these men that
are so much hotter, and you can kind of because
(08:52):
the word on the street is that Pete Davidson just
really good at listening to women and that's why he
gets like he just like he has eye contact and
nods his head and we're like, yes, this is all
we've been waiting for. I think there's definitely some Pro
bowlers that could probably take some dating advice learning or
two from Pete. So it's sort of like a relation.
(09:15):
I'm giving you this, I get to hang out with you.
He looked never worse, not a time that he's looked worse,
never worse, never worse. And it's like Vegas, there's Son there.
You want to have the attitude of Pete Davidson to
be like I can get whomever I want. I can
shave my head, I can wear these loser ask glasses.
(09:39):
I can hold up a sixty nine and be like
I'm still gonna get all y'all, got all y'all go.
I knew that was going to be his score before,
Like he laughed, and I was like, he's he's going
to score sixteen. And it's like Derek Carr had a
better bit than that, you know, like former SNL member,
(10:00):
and you're you're getting beat out comedy skill wise by
a man who can't find a team right now. Just
doesn't it doesn't need to try, It doesn't need to try.
Barn Lauren Michaels needs to be recruiting at the Pro Bowl. Okay, um, okay,
let's talk NFL honors. That's this week I get to
see the red carpet. I'm so excited. Um, I want
your guys quick thoughts on who you think should win
(10:22):
a couple of awards. Let's start with m v P.
We got Jalen Hurts, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Justin Jefferson,
and Patrick Mahomes. Sarah, I'll start with you. Who do
you like? Frem ep Man, I gotta I. I still
love Joe Burrow this year, Like I just felt like
what he has done all year, Like that team was
(10:44):
kind of trash at the beginning. He's playing behind a
second string offensive line. He always keeps his cool. He's
always in the media for the right reasons, you know
what I mean. Like he's on the right side of
politics of his team of leadership. He is Joe cool.
He's never flustered, he's he's just to me, like the
(11:07):
the essence of a leader. And that's very difficult for
me to say about someone that went to L s U.
But I do think this year really showed, you know
why he is Joe cool, Like they kept study they
had all the way one and I'm sorry, but I
still think it's called Burrowhead. No offense but what do
(11:31):
you mean every game is coming way and the and
they're gone. I'm honestly googled Brow several times, being like,
is this world? I'm sorry, but if it's not from penalty,
I don't think they make that kick. I don't think
they make that kick. And by the way, people did
not win that game either. But you know, I think
(11:52):
I think it's more referee head, like Danny Woodhead said,
but but I think I think we've all given referee
had so after that game, Meg, who are you going
with M VB? I mean, I've really followed in love
with him and it's Jalen Hurts And I know it's
(12:16):
a regular season award, but it's so hard to not
be like, Okay, but look who's in the super Bowl.
And I honestly think those games that he was away,
it really was distance makes Mo pro fonder and it
kind of just confirmed his resume even more. I find
him to be so sears catalog charming. Yeah you know
(12:40):
what I mean, Like it's just like, yes, you are.
You are a banana split, like you are just a
Sunday that every kid wants to order, like the smile.
The fact that he has a female agent. He's just perfect.
He really he's so almost unassuming, and I think you
look at everything college on like since if we're bringing
(13:04):
up l s U for Joe Burrow, you go, this
is someone who's really gone through a roller coaster of
his career and being doubted, and it would be such
an incredible cherry on top to win m v P. Absolutely,
I love him. He just seems like he just seems
also absolutely loved by everyone on his team to yes, Yes,
(13:26):
and loves football. There's like a joy to him. Uh
that is Pro Bowl esque where it's like he is
having fun. He seems cool. It's it doesn't it doesn't
feel put on, and even everyone you named in the category,
it's like it's really a feel good crew. It's kind
of how I feel about the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, I'm like,
we've got We've got Anna and Elsa, you know, like
(13:48):
we've got two stars here. I want to both to win. Okay,
you know what, screw talking about NFL honors because I
know you guys don't have a ton of time. So
I want to get to the Big Dance because there
we have to talk about Tom Brady's half naked photo.
Still Okay, so the super Field. Yate's just tweeted this
out and it just goes to show you how insane
I mean, knock on wood, it could. I feel like
any game that's like, oh my god, this is gonna
(14:09):
be a million points scored, it's gonna be so much
fun that never happens. But listen to this, Okay. Chiefs
and Eagles both sixteen and three overall. Chiefs and Eagles
both five hundred and forty six points scored during the season.
They both have six All pros. Chiefs a f C
one seed, Eagles NFC one seed. What you you? Truly,
(14:30):
we do have the best teams playing in the Super
Bowl this year. Um, so I want your guys picks.
Eagles favored by one and a half. Megan, I'll start
with you. So I picked the Chiefs to beat the
BEng goals and I was the only person on the
extra points crew and I'm still awaiting some payment for that.
(14:50):
And I think when you count out this Chief's team,
you make a drastic miscalculation because and I rooted for
a team that was all offense, and then it'd be like,
can the defense show up? This defense does end up
showing up. Chris Jones incredible when you need him to be.
Patrick Mahomes on one foot was able to do it.
(15:12):
I do want that man in Philadelphia to celebrate by
eating horse poop again, turn emotionally and toward emotionally. I
just think everyone is so high on this Eagles team,
but this Chief's team, they've done it. They've been there
pretty close to what this unit is minus Tyreek, and
(15:33):
I think they've got a lot to throw at you that.
I think the Chiefs could surprise everybody and take this one. Okay,
so you're going Chiefs, Sarah, what about you? Yeah? I
think that. I mean, I I have not liked the
Eagles all year. I've I haven't thought that they were
nearly what everybody has claimed them to be, just based
(15:56):
on strength of schedule. And I know that that's a
tired talking point, and I know that everybody continues to
talk about it. But honestly, Billy Joel played the West
Coast more than they did last year. But it is
very like I think the Eagles on papers should win
this game. I don't know if they can. I think
it will come down to coaching, and I think Andy
(16:16):
Reid wins that hands down. I mean, it's hard thing
that you're gonna take it. It's hard to get bet
against a what you were saying, Megan, They've just been
in this spot so many times recently that it's like anything.
And you could tell last week or a week ago
whenever that the Borrowhead thing really got into their bones,
(16:37):
like they were passed. And I don't even think like
Eagles are like everyone shut up, everyone shut up. Don't
say anything. Nick Sirianni's daughter. Keep it quiet, you know,
I don't say anything. He's an m v P candidate, obviously,
Taylor love her. Yeah, Arrowhead, that bull. Of these teams
(17:00):
have such rabid fan bases too, that I do hope
that this is one of those Super Bowls that the
that they do travel well and it does end up
having a really good environment for them and Rihanna obviously,
and I and I really want. I am so against
them moving the NFC Championship and the a f C
(17:21):
Championship game to a neutral site, and I'm almost like, gosh,
I hope this game doesn't feel like an outlier because
it's like, not everybody as a Chiefs or Eagles fan
and they can't all go places. But I think this
has the possibility to to feel electric there when they
sometimes cannot. Absolutely, I'm so excited for the super Bowl. Okay,
we're gonna take a quick break. Coming up, we're gonna
talk about naked Tom Brady. Don't go anywhere. Well, all right, ladies,
(17:55):
I want your quick thoughts on the thought of the day,
just some right. I think I don't know if he's
modeling for his undy's he's put he I think that
this is the first trap, first trap post Gazelle. What
are you just? Like? A quick overarching thoughts? Is this sad?
(18:15):
Is it empowering? Are you loving? Are you hating? I
felt spicy even having it up in the cafeteria When
I first thought, I was like, oh my god, there
you go first, Sara, you go first. No, I don't
even know what to say about it, Like, I'm just
so perplexed that it feels so unlike him. Yeah, it
feels so unlike him. It feels let like, who is
(18:37):
it for? Who is he reaching out to? Is he
like what I feel like he's He's a guy that
really thinks things through And this did not feel well
thought through, And it just made me, It made me
more uncomfortable than when I kissed his kids on the mouth,
like it made me very uncomfortable. I didn't like it.
(19:00):
I didn't. I wasn't even like what I was like
hot in the world. I should like it, but I'm
just like, what what? Why? Alright, I'm hearing. I'm hearing
everything you're saying. Counterpoint. I love it, and not even
not even how it not how he looks. It's like,
(19:23):
this is what I would do. So when you go
you're the greatest of all time and you're just a
thirsty bitch at the end of the day, and like
there's no amount of rings, there's no amount of accolades.
All need to sit in what might be a hotel
room or what might be a property of his and go,
I need people to tell me I'm pretty. And that
(19:46):
is so human and so relatable. Also cover his privates
with his hand. I go, he's a little boy. It
is very It's a vulnerable picture. Sir, You're gonna, I go,
where are you? Like? I just it really had breakfast today.
(20:07):
It felt so so common. And I love when the
stars are just like us and are like when I'm
in Mexico, I had Monte Zuma's Revenge in the app
Let's document. I know it's like it's it is it
eighty for Brady or is it a for every woman
who on Instagram? I love that? Um, who would you
(20:31):
guys like to set him up with? Like who would
you be happy to see him with? I want him
and Gazel back together, I like want, I want that
to be. Whatever the sequel to eighty for Brady is,
is him being like I realized the error of my
ways and like is she Yeah? And I'm not even
someone who likes him, but his video, his retirement video,
(20:52):
I found to be so heartfelt. We're on the same page.
He is like really hitting at my heart strings. Somewhere
I have turned the corner and I am like, I
want him and Giselle back together, and I want him
eating tomatoes. I want him celebrating and having a great
post retirement life. I love that. Yeah. I don't even
(21:16):
know who is like up there. I don't think there's
anybody else exists. I don't think it was like Chris
and I were talking about how like it's like maybe
like Kobe, Kobe's widow would be like the only person
who's even like that much you know, but I can't
see her dating anyone else either, you know, like I have,
(21:38):
I have wondered a lot what her d ms look like.
And I bet it is who's who of like married
and not married? I bet it's I bet it starts
study it oscar like they can't pay money, ends up
going out with a girl that got pregnant by Blake
Griffin and Matt Leiner, you know what I mean, Like
(21:59):
it's in his Like so what if it is like
a Megan Marco esque kind of like a woman that's
just like plucked from you know, she was an actress.
But I thought you mentioned princess and like, yes, would
be on the same He steals Camilla from Prince Charles
right before she was about to become great Queen, that
would be that's pretty next lest I would watch that
(22:20):
Netflix's documentary for sure. I mean, if Prince William and
and Kate ever break up, that's literally perfect. Um okay,
so they The big storyline this week was that somebody
went to the spot that he retired gathered like a
jar of sand. It is now almost at a hundred
thousand dollars bidding, Like over a hundred people have been
(22:41):
on it. I don't know if they're like real bidders
and have the money, but whatever, that's what it's at.
So I wanted to ask you, guys, what would you
I'm giving you an unlimited amount of money. Okay, I'm
gonna give you a couple of different options for you
to spend said money on, and you have to pick
one of these things. Okay, Elvis's cup of water disgusting,
a few tape spoons of liquid apparently absolutely gross. Uh
(23:03):
air from the last Kobe Bryant game, which somebody actually
sold I think successfully online. The Derek Jeter gift baskets
that he used to send home with the lovely women
that he spent the evening with, um Paul Pierce's wheelchair
or the sand What are you guys going with? Make?
And I'll start with you, what are you spending? I'm
(23:23):
giving all the money that you need for any of
those items. I want the gift basket I always have,
I always will. I almost think I think it would
be fun to see, like what sort of retro products
he was putting in there? Was it like a jelly
sandal um? But i'd all shill be like it's Derek.
Can I get like an updated what is like? Is
it a gift certificate to go get botox? Like? Is
(23:44):
it a bbl what version of the Derek Jeter? I'll
take the old one and the new one. And if
he's throwing in a rump in the bed, my husband
will be fine with it. I was under the impression
it was like signed memory rebellia, like cart heads that Sacks.
(24:06):
I would have it was good a baseball. I don't
know if it was a picture. You're right, that is
a solid one with that, Sarah, what do you got
to take a derrigator signed baseball of Yeah? Taking Jeter
signed anything? Um? I mean, I guess, oh my god,
unlimited amount of money. I would take this sand. I
(24:29):
would take the sand Brady's beach and I would say,
this is from the sands of his hour glass, which
we know is never running out, because this will keep
me young forever, like Tom Brady? Would you? I mean,
they should have just done that. Should have just bought
a bunch of empty hour glasses, filled it with the sand,
and just you know, sold it. That's creative instead of
(24:51):
throwing it in a jar. By the way, I bet
you if you went to that place on the beach.
There's just a gigantic hole now because everyone's just scooped
the sand from that spot. Yeah, and I find sand
to be disgusting. I would never like the stand in
my suitcase. I don't want so, I definitely don't want
the random stands. This man that's been sitting on. Um, guys,
(25:12):
I love you. Thank you for bearing with our audio
issues and sticking around. Y'all are the best. Um. Where
can we find you? I know you guys are performing
all the time. Sarah, I'll start with you. You've got
a comedy special that comes out today. Yes, my comedy

so fun to watch live and in person. Megan, what
about you? I can't wait to see the special. You
should just go u s. But I host another sports
(25:58):
podcast called Megan and of Sports that you can find

Lifetime movies, I hope I host the Lifetime podcast too.
But I posted everything on Twitter at Megan gaily Y. Yeah,

(26:19):
future leaders of our generation. I love you, guys, Thank
you so much. All right, thank you to our guests.
I'm obsessed with those women. Make sure you guys go
both go follow them on Twitter and Instagram and everything
of social media thing that you can find, and then
go watch Sarah Special because it is, I'm telling you,
very very funny. Okay, coming up after the break, best
and worst thing that I saw all week, and let
me tell you one of them involves Pete Davidson. Oh surprised,
(26:42):
Chalker quick, he's the best. All right, it's time for
the best and the worst thing that I saw all week.
Where's my camera there? It is? Okay, the best thing
(27:03):
that I saw. This was really sweet and heartfelt. Jared Goff.
He had a message to Derek Carr on switching teams.
I'll read it to you. It's very sweet. This is
what Jared Goff said, there's definitely life on the other side,
oftentimes a really great life. Ah, there's definitely life on
the other side, oftentimes a really great life. We had
(27:23):
a really good talk about it earlier this week. I
think his head is in a great place about it,
whatever ends up happening with him. Honestly, what better person
to talk to about this. I believe that Derek Carrs
can be fine. I'm very interested to see where he goes. Umm.
Glad that he was able to have a fun Pro Bowl. Okay,
and then the worst thing that I saw pe Davidson. Guys,
(27:43):
what are we doing? Why do we need that? I
don't get it. I don't like he looks like a worm,
and I don't like worms. I'm sure he's a lovely guy.
I think he's very funny, but even he was like,
why am I here? I think he's just obsessed with Eli.
I've seen a lot of commercials with them, and he
(28:05):
seems genuinely in love with the elim thing. Uh. Fine,
he's fine. I just don't get it. Whatever. Okay, guys,
that is our last show before the Super Bowl. We're
gonna Actually that's not even true. We're gonna be back
on Friday with a new episode post NFL Honors, post
my Red Carpet experience, so make sure you're tuning in
(28:27):
for that. We got a lot going on. I go
to Arizona on Wednesday. If you were there, please say
hi if you see me, but not if it's in
the middle of a Rihanna song. Okay, maybe left to
my own devices when that is happening. Um, guys, thanks
for listening this week. Huge shoutouts to our guests Megan Gaily,
Sarah Tiana. Huge shouts to the crew that's been keeping
(28:50):
this show alive all year long. I'll see you in Arizona, baby,
how about that by day Pa
And when I woke up this morning, I was feeling
pretty dangerous. Tonos tonight they are what we thought they
were and we let about Hello, you plenty to win
the gate. They want you to cook the dinner. At
least they ought to let your shop for some of
the groceries. And on the way up, we're gonna buy
the kneecap Off playoffs. Here kidding me. I'm just here
(00:25):
so I won't get fine. How could he not be
romantic about football? H Welcome to bench with Vanetta. It
is super Bowl week, baby, so buckle up. Listen. Every
time I listen to a podcast and they're like, oh
my god, Annie issues, this person couldn't work to remember,
I'm like, oh my god, nobody cares. But this time
you have to know that we've just been the last
thirty five minutes figuring out some audio because it is
(00:48):
so imperative that this woman joins this show. I am
joined by two of my favorite gals in comedy and sports,
Megan Gaily, Sarah ta Janna. Can everyone here? Is everyone good?
I'm obsessed with both of you. Thank you for being
on the show. I love you guys. Should we harmonize
like a Meg what was that journey? Like you were
(01:14):
just so dedicated to fixing the audio situation, and we
really appreciate it. Roger Goodell dropped the ball, is what
you were saying. Yeah, I was able to catch up
on some tweet Twitter. I was like sitting here, going
I could have showered, but I didn't. And that's like
that's who you want. You want unshowered, tired, confused. I
(01:35):
want the real you. And I'm so grateful that you
guys are here, especially this week, like I saved the
best guests for one of the last episodes of the year. Um,
obviously we're gonna get to the super Bowl. We're gonna
break it down, We're gonna be really smart for y'all.
But first things first, I want to talk about the
dumber version of the Super Bowl, which is the Pro Bowl,
which we all loved. No I'm saying, I'm saying in
(01:57):
a late fun way. We love the b and we
love the Pro Bowl. We love the Pro Boil, we
love problem Sarah. You you like couldn't stop watching it
this weekend. You had it on in the car. I
had it on the car, like I First of all,
I was like, I just put it on passively on Sunday,
I was, you know, and then all of a sudden
I was hooked. And I was so invested in the
(02:18):
NFC winning because when you've been just hurt by your
Falcons all year, you're like, oh, I want to cheer
for what's it like to cheer for players that are good?
And so I was, I was hooked. I put it
on in the car, but I thought the Best Catch
competition was by far the coolest thing that they did.
It's like their version of the Slam Dunk contest, and
(02:40):
I wish more people had done it. But when they
were just like kind of setting it up, they were
showing Amanra st Brown in a pool like jumping and
catching the ball to practice, and I was like, and
I don't know if you've ever seen Amanre with his
shirt off, but he is maybe the most perfect species
man I've ever seen. And rapping him to into a
(03:01):
pool over and over again to catch a football is,
I thank you, one of the greatest decisions. It's also
a challenge that has been on RuPaul's drag race. So
I love they took a page for a world of
wonder just kind of creativity anywhere. I full disclosure. Was
at a lake house in Indiana, WHI twelfth Sororities this
(03:23):
past weekend, so the Pro Bowl was not on the TV,
but I have catchup caught up on the clips, and
I think the lightning and a bottle of having two
brothers competing in terms of Peyton and Eli, that raises
the stakes. It's like we need that, and let's pick
brothers from Middle America that have never played football and
(03:46):
have to coach, you know, have bragging rights of who
mom likes the best on the line um and then
also getting to see like the mediocre players with the stars.
By the time the Pro Bowl gets there, you go,
it's a grab bag. We do have some Pro bowlers,
and we do have some guys that were just free
just there and I really schedules seeing Yes, I love
(04:10):
seeing that because you're like Derek cart, this is the
most passionate I've seen you for sure. Did you see
the video of him? Was just like, you know, like
you played so well. Yeah, it's the like that's the
best play. Is probably why I'm not here anymore. It's
like very funny. And I when a when a Jesus
guy can go out and do a last sah, what
(04:33):
were gonna say? Oh, I was just gonna say that.
I think that the flag football game was really fun
because a these guys grew up playing flag football, so
it was like a lot of stuff that they hadn't
done since they were younger. Their helmets are off, they're
talking way more smack. At one point, Stefan digs through
an interception to tray Vonnes. It was like it was
(04:55):
it was perfect harmony. And then you have like kind
of older like like Michael Vick was like throwing passes
in the best Catch competition. Jimmy Clawson was there like
like Jimmy Clawson, like I remember when he was at
Notre Dame and I was like, yeah, it was just
it was I thought it was really well done, really
(05:15):
well executed. I thought that the stakes were raised. I
thought it was really fun to watch. I also think
it kind of gave us some ease, Like I feel
like people love to make fun of the Pro Bowl, like, oh,
no one's playing in it, and like also when you're watching,
you're like, oh, I'll just please nobody get hurt. This
totally took that off the table. It's like you could
see how much joy these guys. They were like, this
(05:36):
is fun, and I feel like the guys that didn't
participate this year, they all saw what we saw and
they're like, I'm definitely gonna do that next year, and
then that's just gonna make it more and more interesting
for us to watch. I think they nailed it. And
with the dollars on the line, which I know might
sound like, oh, NFL players are fine with that money,
but like, I'm sorry, they could probably catch that check
(05:57):
in any casino in Vegas and the absolute perfect place
to have forts on the last absolutely began spending money
for these guys and now I'm sure they're betting that
check against each other. Like it's just um, I realised,
like the hats the excessive they were able to to
(06:18):
be able to run full speed in a bucket. I
loved this moment. This is so good. Yeah. Do you
guys think he snapped one single picture? I don't think
I've seen the other side, the actual picture yet, so
I'm thinking you did not pass the button one time?
Ross That would have definitely gone viral by now. Anyone
knows how to use a camera. It's Stefan Diggs. Okay, well, brothers,
(06:43):
was it was the was the overarching theme, right, but Meg,
you're a huge you're obviously a manning stand with your
your colts fandom, there was there was quite a little
bit of multiple temper tantrums throne might I say, by
Peyton and he was getting fully into it. So just
you know, represent your boy, are you Are you happy
with this much enthusiasm where you're like, okay, well cool.
(07:05):
It was Pro Bowl. I don't even think of them
as temper tantrum's. I think that's how Peyton is everywhere.
It almost seems like he's gotten more competitive since retiring,
Like he's like, well, this is all I have. I
hoped to win the Pro Bowl um, and I love
to see it. I think he's right, And I think
(07:27):
if you're not set, then what are we even doing.
I think they should coach. They should coach every single year.
They were just as much of the entertainment. In my opinion.
It was giving things, giving vibes like oh, they're not
going to be able to come back inside after this.
And so that's why I think, like we don't even
(07:47):
need famous brothers. It's like you can have my brother
Ryan and Michael, and I know that they will bring
up something that happened in and I'm watching that. I
like the brother aspect, like I think Travis and Jason
could do, and I think the Cook Brothers could do.
And also I think the NFL is right with Eskimo Brothers,
(08:08):
so we could just use that. Okay, where do we
Where do we stand on Pete Davidson at this point
in time? Because he he was even like why am
I here holding up a sixty nine? He's got a
totally completely shaved head. Where where do we say where?
I don't know what to think or feel why Pete
Davidson was there. We know why Pete Davidson was there?
(08:31):
Why because you know who follows men in the Pro
Bowl to Vegas. He seems like a massive get for them,
though like really had to call in some favors. It
is nice to see him with all these men that
are so much hotter, and you can kind of because
(08:52):
the word on the street is that Pete Davidson just
really good at listening to women and that's why he
gets like he just like he has eye contact and
nods his head and we're like, yes, this is all
we've been waiting for. I think there's definitely some Pro
bowlers that could probably take some dating advice learning or
two from Pete. So it's sort of like a relation.
(09:15):
I'm giving you this, I get to hang out with you.
He looked never worse, not a time that he's looked worse,
never worse, never worse. And it's like Vegas, there's Son there.
You want to have the attitude of Pete Davidson to
be like I can get whomever I want. I can
shave my head, I can wear these loser ask glasses.
(09:39):
I can hold up a sixty nine and be like
I'm still gonna get all y'all, got all y'all go.
I knew that was going to be his score before,
Like he laughed, and I was like, he's he's going
to score sixteen. And it's like Derek Carr had a
better bit than that, you know, like former SNL member,
(10:00):
and you're you're getting beat out comedy skill wise by
a man who can't find a team right now. Just
doesn't it doesn't need to try, It doesn't need to try.
Barn Lauren Michaels needs to be recruiting at the Pro Bowl. Okay, um, okay,
let's talk NFL honors. That's this week I get to
see the red carpet. I'm so excited. Um, I want
your guys quick thoughts on who you think should win
(10:22):
a couple of awards. Let's start with m v P.
We got Jalen Hurts, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Justin Jefferson,
and Patrick Mahomes. Sarah, I'll start with you. Who do
you like? Frem ep Man, I gotta I. I still
love Joe Burrow this year, Like I just felt like
what he has done all year, Like that team was
(10:44):
kind of trash at the beginning. He's playing behind a
second string offensive line. He always keeps his cool. He's
always in the media for the right reasons, you know
what I mean. Like he's on the right side of
politics of his team of leadership. He is Joe cool.
He's never flustered, he's he's just to me, like the
(11:07):
the essence of a leader. And that's very difficult for
me to say about someone that went to L s U.
But I do think this year really showed, you know
why he is Joe cool, Like they kept study they
had all the way one and I'm sorry, but I
still think it's called Burrowhead. No offense but what do
(11:31):
you mean every game is coming way and the and
they're gone. I'm honestly googled Brow several times, being like,
is this world? I'm sorry, but if it's not from penalty,
I don't think they make that kick. I don't think
they make that kick. And by the way, people did
not win that game either. But you know, I think
(11:52):
I think it's more referee head, like Danny Woodhead said,
but but I think I think we've all given referee
had so after that game, Meg, who are you going
with M VB? I mean, I've really followed in love
with him and it's Jalen Hurts And I know it's
(12:16):
a regular season award, but it's so hard to not
be like, Okay, but look who's in the super Bowl.
And I honestly think those games that he was away,
it really was distance makes Mo pro fonder and it
kind of just confirmed his resume even more. I find
him to be so sears catalog charming. Yeah you know
(12:40):
what I mean, Like it's just like, yes, you are.
You are a banana split, like you are just a
Sunday that every kid wants to order, like the smile.
The fact that he has a female agent. He's just perfect.
He really he's so almost unassuming, and I think you
look at everything college on like since if we're bringing
(13:04):
up l s U for Joe Burrow, you go, this
is someone who's really gone through a roller coaster of
his career and being doubted, and it would be such
an incredible cherry on top to win m v P. Absolutely,
I love him. He just seems like he just seems
also absolutely loved by everyone on his team to yes, Yes,
(13:26):
and loves football. There's like a joy to him. Uh
that is Pro Bowl esque where it's like he is
having fun. He seems cool. It's it doesn't it doesn't
feel put on, and even everyone you named in the category,
it's like it's really a feel good crew. It's kind
of how I feel about the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, I'm like,
we've got We've got Anna and Elsa, you know, like
(13:48):
we've got two stars here. I want to both to win. Okay,
you know what, screw talking about NFL honors because I
know you guys don't have a ton of time. So
I want to get to the Big Dance because there
we have to talk about Tom Brady's half naked photo.
Still Okay, so the super Field. Yate's just tweeted this
out and it just goes to show you how insane
I mean, knock on wood, it could. I feel like
any game that's like, oh my god, this is gonna
(14:09):
be a million points scored, it's gonna be so much
fun that never happens. But listen to this, Okay. Chiefs
and Eagles both sixteen and three overall. Chiefs and Eagles
both five hundred and forty six points scored during the season.
They both have six All pros. Chiefs a f C
one seed, Eagles NFC one seed. What you you? Truly,
(14:30):
we do have the best teams playing in the Super
Bowl this year. Um, so I want your guys picks.
Eagles favored by one and a half. Megan, I'll start
with you. So I picked the Chiefs to beat the
BEng goals and I was the only person on the
extra points crew and I'm still awaiting some payment for that.
(14:50):
And I think when you count out this Chief's team,
you make a drastic miscalculation because and I rooted for
a team that was all offense, and then it'd be like,
can the defense show up? This defense does end up
showing up. Chris Jones incredible when you need him to be.
Patrick Mahomes on one foot was able to do it.
(15:12):
I do want that man in Philadelphia to celebrate by
eating horse poop again, turn emotionally and toward emotionally. I
just think everyone is so high on this Eagles team,
but this Chief's team, they've done it. They've been there
pretty close to what this unit is minus Tyreek, and
(15:33):
I think they've got a lot to throw at you that.
I think the Chiefs could surprise everybody and take this one. Okay,
so you're going Chiefs, Sarah, what about you? Yeah? I
think that. I mean, I I have not liked the
Eagles all year. I've I haven't thought that they were
nearly what everybody has claimed them to be, just based
(15:56):
on strength of schedule. And I know that that's a
tired talking point, and I know that everybody continues to
talk about it. But honestly, Billy Joel played the West
Coast more than they did last year. But it is
very like I think the Eagles on papers should win
this game. I don't know if they can. I think
it will come down to coaching, and I think Andy
(16:16):
Reid wins that hands down. I mean, it's hard thing
that you're gonna take it. It's hard to get bet
against a what you were saying, Megan, They've just been
in this spot so many times recently that it's like anything.
And you could tell last week or a week ago
whenever that the Borrowhead thing really got into their bones,
(16:37):
like they were passed. And I don't even think like
Eagles are like everyone shut up, everyone shut up. Don't
say anything. Nick Sirianni's daughter. Keep it quiet, you know,
I don't say anything. He's an m v P candidate, obviously,
Taylor love her. Yeah, Arrowhead, that bull. Of these teams
(17:00):
have such rabid fan bases too, that I do hope
that this is one of those Super Bowls that the
that they do travel well and it does end up
having a really good environment for them and Rihanna obviously,
and I and I really want. I am so against
them moving the NFC Championship and the a f C
(17:21):
Championship game to a neutral site, and I'm almost like, gosh,
I hope this game doesn't feel like an outlier because
it's like, not everybody as a Chiefs or Eagles fan
and they can't all go places. But I think this
has the possibility to to feel electric there when they
sometimes cannot. Absolutely, I'm so excited for the super Bowl. Okay,
we're gonna take a quick break. Coming up, we're gonna
talk about naked Tom Brady. Don't go anywhere. Well, all right, ladies,
(17:55):
I want your quick thoughts on the thought of the day,
just some right. I think I don't know if he's
modeling for his undy's he's put he I think that
this is the first trap, first trap post Gazelle. What
are you just? Like? A quick overarching thoughts? Is this sad?
(18:15):
Is it empowering? Are you loving? Are you hating? I
felt spicy even having it up in the cafeteria When
I first thought, I was like, oh my god, there
you go first, Sara, you go first. No, I don't
even know what to say about it, Like, I'm just
so perplexed that it feels so unlike him. Yeah, it
feels so unlike him. It feels let like, who is
(18:37):
it for? Who is he reaching out to? Is he
like what I feel like he's He's a guy that
really thinks things through And this did not feel well
thought through, And it just made me, It made me
more uncomfortable than when I kissed his kids on the mouth,
like it made me very uncomfortable. I didn't like it.
(19:00):
I didn't. I wasn't even like what I was like
hot in the world. I should like it, but I'm
just like, what what? Why? Alright, I'm hearing. I'm hearing
everything you're saying. Counterpoint. I love it, and not even
not even how it not how he looks. It's like,
(19:23):
this is what I would do. So when you go
you're the greatest of all time and you're just a
thirsty bitch at the end of the day, and like
there's no amount of rings, there's no amount of accolades.
All need to sit in what might be a hotel
room or what might be a property of his and go,
I need people to tell me I'm pretty. And that
(19:46):
is so human and so relatable. Also cover his privates
with his hand. I go, he's a little boy. It
is very It's a vulnerable picture. Sir, You're gonna, I go,
where are you? Like? I just it really had breakfast today.
(20:07):
It felt so so common. And I love when the
stars are just like us and are like when I'm
in Mexico, I had Monte Zuma's Revenge in the app
Let's document. I know it's like it's it is it
eighty for Brady or is it a for every woman
who on Instagram? I love that? Um, who would you
(20:31):
guys like to set him up with? Like who would
you be happy to see him with? I want him
and Gazel back together, I like want, I want that
to be. Whatever the sequel to eighty for Brady is,
is him being like I realized the error of my
ways and like is she Yeah? And I'm not even
someone who likes him, but his video, his retirement video,
(20:52):
I found to be so heartfelt. We're on the same page.
He is like really hitting at my heart strings. Somewhere
I have turned the corner and I am like, I
want him and Giselle back together, and I want him
eating tomatoes. I want him celebrating and having a great
post retirement life. I love that. Yeah. I don't even
(21:16):
know who is like up there. I don't think there's
anybody else exists. I don't think it was like Chris
and I were talking about how like it's like maybe
like Kobe, Kobe's widow would be like the only person
who's even like that much you know, but I can't
see her dating anyone else either, you know, like I have,
(21:38):
I have wondered a lot what her d ms look like.
And I bet it is who's who of like married
and not married? I bet it's I bet it starts
study it oscar like they can't pay money, ends up
going out with a girl that got pregnant by Blake
Griffin and Matt Leiner, you know what I mean, Like
(21:59):
it's in his Like so what if it is like
a Megan Marco esque kind of like a woman that's
just like plucked from you know, she was an actress.
But I thought you mentioned princess and like, yes, would
be on the same He steals Camilla from Prince Charles
right before she was about to become great Queen, that
would be that's pretty next lest I would watch that
(22:20):
Netflix's documentary for sure. I mean, if Prince William and
and Kate ever break up, that's literally perfect. Um okay,
so they The big storyline this week was that somebody
went to the spot that he retired gathered like a
jar of sand. It is now almost at a hundred
thousand dollars bidding, Like over a hundred people have been
(22:41):
on it. I don't know if they're like real bidders
and have the money, but whatever, that's what it's at.
So I wanted to ask you, guys, what would you
I'm giving you an unlimited amount of money. Okay, I'm
gonna give you a couple of different options for you
to spend said money on, and you have to pick
one of these things. Okay, Elvis's cup of water disgusting,
a few tape spoons of liquid apparently absolutely gross. Uh
(23:03):
air from the last Kobe Bryant game, which somebody actually
sold I think successfully online. The Derek Jeter gift baskets
that he used to send home with the lovely women
that he spent the evening with, um Paul Pierce's wheelchair
or the sand What are you guys going with? Make?
And I'll start with you, what are you spending? I'm
(23:23):
giving all the money that you need for any of
those items. I want the gift basket I always have,
I always will. I almost think I think it would
be fun to see, like what sort of retro products
he was putting in there? Was it like a jelly
sandal um? But i'd all shill be like it's Derek.
Can I get like an updated what is like? Is
it a gift certificate to go get botox? Like? Is
(23:44):
it a bbl what version of the Derek Jeter? I'll
take the old one and the new one. And if
he's throwing in a rump in the bed, my husband
will be fine with it. I was under the impression
it was like signed memory rebellia, like cart heads that Sacks.
(24:06):
I would have it was good a baseball. I don't
know if it was a picture. You're right, that is
a solid one with that, Sarah, what do you got
to take a derrigator signed baseball of Yeah? Taking Jeter
signed anything? Um? I mean, I guess, oh my god,
unlimited amount of money. I would take this sand. I
(24:29):
would take the sand Brady's beach and I would say,
this is from the sands of his hour glass, which
we know is never running out, because this will keep
me young forever, like Tom Brady? Would you? I mean,
they should have just done that. Should have just bought
a bunch of empty hour glasses, filled it with the sand,
and just you know, sold it. That's creative instead of
(24:51):
throwing it in a jar. By the way, I bet
you if you went to that place on the beach.
There's just a gigantic hole now because everyone's just scooped
the sand from that spot. Yeah, and I find sand
to be disgusting. I would never like the stand in
my suitcase. I don't want so, I definitely don't want
the random stands. This man that's been sitting on. Um, guys,
(25:12):
I love you. Thank you for bearing with our audio
issues and sticking around. Y'all are the best. Um. Where
can we find you? I know you guys are performing
all the time. Sarah, I'll start with you. You've got
a comedy special that comes out today. Yes, my comedy
special forty four comes out today. On moment you can
buy tickets. You can watch it for the entire next
(25:33):
I believe the next four weeks. On moment, you can
buy tickets on any of my socials. It's just at
Sarah Tiana, Sarah with an h Tiana with a Tiana,
and it's great. I got to see it live and
I cried afterwards when I was talking to you. I'm
so proud of you. You were just so awesome. It's
so fun to watch live and in person. Megan, what
about you? I can't wait to see the special. You
should just go u s. But I host another sports
(25:58):
podcast called Megan and of Sports that you can find
on the Extra Points Network. And then if you like
Lifetime movies, I hope I host the Lifetime podcast too.
But I posted everything on Twitter at Megan gaily Y. Yeah,
and y'all are both badass women taking care of the
(26:19):
future leaders of our generation. I love you, guys, Thank
you so much. All right, thank you to our guests.
I'm obsessed with those women. Make sure you guys go
both go follow them on Twitter and Instagram and everything
of social media thing that you can find, and then
go watch Sarah Special because it is, I'm telling you,
very very funny. Okay, coming up after the break, best
and worst thing that I saw all week, and let
me tell you one of them involves Pete Davidson. Oh surprised,
(26:42):
Chalker quick, he's the best. All right, it's time for
the best and the worst thing that I saw all week.
Where's my camera there? It is? Okay, the best thing
(27:03):
that I saw. This was really sweet and heartfelt. Jared Goff.
He had a message to Derek Carr on switching teams.
I'll read it to you. It's very sweet. This is
what Jared Goff said, there's definitely life on the other side,
oftentimes a really great life. Ah, there's definitely life on
the other side, oftentimes a really great life. We had
(27:23):
a really good talk about it earlier this week. I
think his head is in a great place about it,
whatever ends up happening with him. Honestly, what better person
to talk to about this. I believe that Derek Carrs
can be fine. I'm very interested to see where he goes. Umm.
Glad that he was able to have a fun Pro Bowl. Okay,
and then the worst thing that I saw pe Davidson. Guys,
(27:43):
what are we doing? Why do we need that? I
don't get it. I don't like he looks like a worm,
and I don't like worms. I'm sure he's a lovely guy.
I think he's very funny, but even he was like,
why am I here? I think he's just obsessed with Eli.
