Seventh super Bowl too, right.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah, if I'm counting right.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Minnesota was the very first one, like I've covered them,
but I've never before that wasn't able to attend the
actual game. So it's a tremendous, tremendous blessing to say
that I've been to that many, like that's that's.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
That's great, crazy ride.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
I've been to two.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yeah, super Bowl forty and forty one. So the one
in Detroit when big storyline was Jerome.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Bettis and then for the stadium was.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Well, that was no, that was like so at Ford
Field that was that was all good. That was like
like practically brand new. Yeah, and then the other one
was obviously the Super Bowl that Peyton Manning won with
the Colts.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Nice and Devin Hester.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Who just conducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame,
which is crazy. And of course Prince playing the credible
Connor and I remember pouring Rain. He's out there and
he's singing Purple Rain, and we were there in our
media sets.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
And just saying, wow, this is amazing.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
And this guy is going to get electrocuted playing the
electric guitar.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Not him, not him, not him, not even.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Phased by it.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
So either way, glad he had a chance to experience
the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
How did you think Las Vegas was as a host.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Look, if it's one thing Vegas knows how to do
as host a party. Okay, an eight day party for us?
You know what I think it was. It was our
buddy Steve Travino who who said it, like, you can't
go to a Latino party because it's like four in
the morning and it's still going. That's what it felt
like in Vegas except for eight Day Street, and we
(03:24):
weren't even out on these streets like that, well, like
really weren't. It's just like the week is so long,
there's so much to do. You have six, seven, eight
events in a day, plus work, and you don't want
to miss anything.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
And it's like such a reunion of.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Everybody in media all together, all of the players and
just folks across the landscape or there. There's celebrities we saw,
I saw our buddies.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
And at the promos. I'll talk about that party later.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
That was a party, a dinner, but it turned into
a party because all the Latinos that were there, it's
it's just awesome, Like, you know, you're not going to
really sleep.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
And I'm getting too.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
Old for that.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
All I know is that I get this text message from.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
From your buddy Al Madrigal, who took a self that was.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
With the aforementioned dinner that I was.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
Talking about that was Saturday night, right.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Yes, And it wasn't a dinner. It was literally called
Lasna And it's all put together for Latinos in media
and entertainment and sports to just come together. And Cristo Fernandez,
and and and Lex who's part of Neon sixteen.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
He's huge in the music space.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
The three of us, alongside Marisa Solis, who of course
is the NFL League office, we were all hosting the evening.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I was just supposed to be going attending.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
They're like, by the way, you're not hosting, and I
was like, cool, cool, cool, cool cool cool sound great.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
So was Al hosting this thing or I was at.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
I was attending, he was sitting right across your.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Room, or was he being cool? He was?
Speaker 3 (04:57):
He was the best.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
And then he's like, and I don't know why we
talked about a bajillion times on this podcast, yes, and
it didn't click for until he's like, well, my buddy,
will I was.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Like, oh my god, yes, of course.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
Mind you. I have to remind you guys, this was
nowa day seven in Vegas, so I barely I barely.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Knew what day it was.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Is a forty eight hour thing, you know, Mike.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Max thirty six.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
So everybody hits.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
It hard right when they get there.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Then they feel bad the pool when they ramp it
back up again, and then you're righty Well.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
First of all, it was ford in the forties.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Yeah, that's crazy, high thirties raining for half the week.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Yeah, not what I think.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Somebody text me at some point in the week and said,
I hope you're not melting in the Vegas sun. I
would love to melt right now.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
For two minutes, I was.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Because it's the desert, right, because the desert has extreame
heat or extreme.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Cold exactly freezing cold.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
But it was really, it was such a crick It
was such a kick to get that text.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
Was like, yes, he's like we got to take a
picture of like immediately, you know.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
It was then crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
So then I got the next day, so Sunday, Super
Bowl Sunday, I get another text from him, and he
took a selfie.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
With my brother that was there.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yes, two of my brothers were there, and and Al
took a photo with one of them and it's like,
you know, well that's yeah, Al's the best. So happy
for his success and what he's done. We do need
to get him on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
It feels like we failed in that aspect.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Yeah no, but I fail.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I mean part of it is like it's like asking him, Okay,
so now he's gotta gotta do it. Hopefully he'll want
to come on and talk football, but something tells me
he may not.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
He may not want to do it right away. He's space,
he's gonna need.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
His some healing.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Our buddy, my buddy Ben.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Yeah, upset, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
He was.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
He was crying.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
He was like, I just want to see them when
one it's like they have a one one and he
was feeling so good about it. We were at a
Super Bowl party. Majority were rooting for the forty nine ers.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Even had a quick cornhole tournament and it was funny
because he was going up against my wife Chen, just
the two of them is like, everybody's paired up, and
he throws it up real high. He turns around and
he points to her like this. It goes right in
the hole.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Didn't even know and everybody's like, oh, okay, okay. So
Ben was feeling himself going he yeah, he was feeling.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Good, and then just you fast forward a few hours
later crying and was not happy, and I felt bad
for him. I mean, that was that was very, very rough.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
It's one of those things we covered the sport and
we obviously remain impartial.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
But the whole reason why we got into this because
we were fans, of course, and there's a human element.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
We've had friends of the Pod, you know, be involved,
like like Kittle and Federico, you know, I mean like
we've had people on and it just just to see
them control that game for a majority of the time.
But then it was death by paper cuts with so
(08:15):
many mistakes and them that are never little things, no,
well they get amplified right in this kind of atmosphere.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
And then the muffed punt as well, and then the
the blown.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Blocking assignment when Chris Jones goes through and that's third
and four, and then they decide to kick the field
goal and overtime. There's ambiguity about the overtime rules. Then
abandoning the run where it seemed like they were gashing
the Chiefs.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
You can hear Tony Romo say it over and over again.
Get it back to McCaffrey. Stick to the run. That's
what works.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
And I don't know he.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
Was saying, oh, Jim, I would get into McCaffrey.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I don't know what such about. I like him in
the booth.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
I just predicted the plays.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
I think, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I enjoy, you know, but I away though he was, Yes,
he was saying, what was correct to give the ball
to your star playmaker in a in a sea of stars, right,
no question.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
So I think that was just hard to watch.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
And then to see that they were blitzing more and
to blitz somebody like Patrick mahomes the shark.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Phase him whatsoever. Quite frankly, it does the opposite.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
It's Patrick Mahons.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
It only emboldened some more to get creative, to go
to his guys to do what he's got to do.
It's tough, especially when you going back to the mistakes,
the errors, the small things you cannot we all know,
and this is proof proof of concept. You can't give
the chiefs a centimeter nothing, a blade of grass. They're
(09:52):
going to exploit it and they're going to make sure
that they get the dub. And it was it was,
it was tough to watch because all other things considered,
the Niners went out there, man, and they played their
hearts out. We knew it was going to to be physical.
We knew it was going to be a really gritty game.
I was talking to the guys at opening night. I
was able to co host the opening night ceremonies with
our Scott Hansen sit the Skulls, who, by the way,
(10:15):
all our Raiders fans Sibly is the in game host
for the Raiders throughout the year, so that was her
home stage.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Nice.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
She walked us through everything. She's amazing. It was awesome,
like and I remember talking to the guys there. I
saw Fred from Afar because he was at a podium
of course, so we're roving around sort of also trying
to pull guys to go up on the jumbo jumbo tron,
just like all the other members of the media from
all over the world there. So it's a really interesting night.
(10:41):
And I saw Fred from Afar. He was at a
podium and he just sort of like, hey, what's up
in mind. I was talking to our girl Sydney, who
by the way, is thirty seven weeks pregnant.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
She yes, she is almost.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
Baby Warner is almost here. Okay, in a few weeks,
God willing, he will.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Do they know if it's going to be oh wow,
another in this world.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
You wonder if it's going to.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Be a jah.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
They haven't said the name yet.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Yeah, we'll have to talk to her about it. But
I was like, wellma's Chuck, are you doing all right?
Haven't been able to talk to her since. I was like,
I need to give him a minute. I need to
give him a minute because I can't imagine what's going
through his mind.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
But I remember watching him that night come in all business,
and that's the night where they could.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
Really let loose a little bit more, be a little
bit more chill, right, because they haven't really gotten into
the prep and the hardcore stuff of the week yet.
It's supposed to be the real celebratory night for both
of the teams to come together. And he was just stoneface.
I mean not with us obviously, but like you could
just tell. And when you saw him on the sideline
Super Bowl Sunday. He was there for that last Super.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Bowl that they lost against the Chiefs in Miami, right,
And so I.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
Think of those guys and it's rough. But then on
the other side of stuff. I was talking to the
Chiefs players as well. Nicole Hartman, who came off the
stage immediately remembered me and was like, yeah, let's go,
let's chat. And he's another younger guy in the in
the NFL. You has, yes, you has been able to
go to so many Super Bowls now with the Chiefs,
So it's been really interesting just to see that trajectory
(12:09):
and then for Nicole to get the game winner in
overtime like his arc as well, because he went through
some struggles last season. Yeah too, Remember he got really
emotional missing a play and things like that on the sideline.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
So it's it's it's always really for us.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
It's so different because you start to build this rapport
from guys from all around the league, so you start
to root for them and for their happiness and for
their successes.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
So it's I'm happy.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
For the guys on the Chiefs who one, and then
I'm heartbroken for our guys on the Niners at loss,
and then the fan bases as well.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
It's it gets tougher and tough for every year, you
know it does.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
And now Shanahan is getting that reputation right that he
can't win when they are up ten points.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah, because this isn't just about his trajectory on the Niners.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Yeah, and last one also yeah, and that's when he
was the oppensive coordinator. But he has his fingerprints on
everything with this organization, so you wonder what they are
going to do. It feels like there is going to
be some sort of change, maybe on his coaching staff.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yeah, I think that's I don't know what that's.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Going to be.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I don't know if it's going to be on the
defensive side of things.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
It just seemed like.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
With Steve Wilkes there he was coming into a situation
where the philosophies and schemes were in place, and it's
different than when you go to a new place and
you're installing your system, and it just seemed to never
quite get going the way that they expected it to,
where he was up in the up in the booth
(13:45):
and then he decided to be out on the field and.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Then they had the three game losing streak.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
So I'm not saying that change is going to happen
on the defensive side. It just feels like something has
to happen here. And it's just like with Shanahan. He
it's not the end of the world, because there are
Hall of Fame coaches Don Coriel or the Chargers when
it was with San Diego and Marv Levy four straight
Super Bowls. With the Bills, they never won it. But
(14:15):
something needs to change. And what that change is, I'm
not sure. I don't know if it's just his.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Late game planning again, like like a big.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
We were talking about him jumping in to change the
call when he didn't like the look that he was
getting from the defense.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Yes, which was an interesting moment. Yes, and that's calling
the time out.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Yeah, I mean that's what what gives me, that just
vibe or or just feeling right.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
I mean, we know how much the organization and the
Yorks love Shanahan and moreover, the Shanahan Lynch combination, and
I mean the players that they have brought in and
how they have rebuilt this team and what they have
established there.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
But until you really get.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
Over the hump and you bring home another party, the
history books sort of eradicated that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
And then in his peers, you know like they you know,
like they've been able to close it out and so
this is this is kind of the vexing problem.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
There's a missing there's a missing link there and they
got to figure it out.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
He's like a sea better yeah, but great with the
x's and no's, but there and that's the that's the
part that he needs to eliminate.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
So over on the Chiefs though, wow, we have to
give credit where credit is due, because I remember in
overtime the moment that they got the ball, I was like, well,
my friends.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
It's over.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
It's a rap.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
That's it. That is a wrap.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
And the Chiefs have done it once again, even with
all the drama and Kelsey getting mad at Andy Reid
and all of that stuff, they have cemented themselves as
what is a dynasty like? And poise now because I
think year after year and we talked about missing links
Over on the Niner side, there's just something there that
(16:07):
hasn't quite come together in totality the way they needed
to close it out. But the Chiefs have been able
to make things happen even with turnover, even with big
name stars leaving year after year. So credit to Andy Reid,
credit to the incredible players that are on there, even
the young guys who really step it up.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Do you think that they'd be able to repeat this thing.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
I think it's certainly possible. Yeah, And I do think
that he can win seven Super Bowls. I do because
this was the year where they seemed the most quote
unquote vulner a back right, because the offense wasn't as
dynamic as we've seen in other years. Kelsey was largely
ancient for most of the season. And to see what
(16:52):
Andy Reid has done with that offense. And yet Patrick
Mahomes he can run the ball and you see like
how dangerous he is when he does decide to run.
He doesn't do it a lot, but boy, when he
does it, he's intentional and he just makes things just
miserable for opposing defenses. So what we are seeing is
(17:14):
greatness to to the to the Shanahan side of it,
kind of just going back to it in the forty
nine ers, you can say, you know, listen, you were
beaten by Patrick Mahomes twice. Who is being compared to
Tom It's not right, So like it's just some random
(17:36):
guy like, you know, no offense to like a Trent
Dilfer who won the Super Bowl for the.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Ravens, or you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Brad Johnson of the Box this.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
This is a legit future Hall of Famer and he's
not even thirty yet. Yeah, so, uh no, what Camp
City has done is is incredibly impressive. And I do
think that, you know, everybody else is unnotice if they
haven't been already. You know, are you gotta step up,
Josh Allen, you gotta step up too.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
You gotta step up? You know.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Now are our m v P which we will talk
about honors in a minute.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Yeah, yeah, Well when do we want to touch upon?
Shall we take a break?
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
So why don't we Why don't we reset a little
bit more of the Lhaddle podcast. By the way, my
mom was saying about Patrick Mahomes, I'll come with it,
but Patrick Holmes, Mommy, Yeah, my mom's said either way,
more of the podcast. We'll get into the NFL honors
and all that good stuff. And something that I did
as well that I don't think you're aware of it,
(18:40):
that's on the other side, Hope.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Think that was one of the great moments you saw
that Chintz of pocket.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Yeah, straight to.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
The end zone.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I mean I thought that if if things were going
the forty nine ers way and they had one, I
thought that Juan Jennings.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Was okay, go jas.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
I don't think they would have given him.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
But you don't take on the game.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Maybe you know he's pretty impactful, very extremely Yeah, you listen.
And Christian maccafery when he was running the ball, he
was impactful. He was at NFL Honors where you were, which,
by the way, so.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
I was watching you and Colleen, both of you.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Besides being incredibly talented and knowing the two of you,
you guys look stunning.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Thank you, absolutely gorgeous, both of you.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
Can I tell you a really funny story about Colleen
and I.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Honors.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
I'm glad you thought we looked great, Thank you, Thank
you so much, because we almost ended up looking like twins.
Oh why because we pulled dress the ex at same dress,
the black.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Dress that Colleen was rad you're saying, so there.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Were two of them or there was one and you
both were gred.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
No, No, we each bought the same dress and our girl,
Cynthia Freelan was the one who saved our butts.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Okay, so were you wearing something from Cynthia Freeland No.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
No, we found out. It was enough time.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
We found out on Championship Sunday when the lines were.
I called Cynthia for a wellness track to make sure
she was okay watching her team, and she was like, okay,
just distract me for a minute.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
It was halftime.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
She's like, what are you wearing? Honors. I described to
her the dress and she like goes pale and I
was like, what's wrong and she's like, I'm pretty sure
that's the same dress Colleen bought. And I was like,
we're adding calling to this this call right now, Call Colleen.
Colleen doesn't answer me. She calls me later and she's like,
you're kidding, You're joking, mind you. This is now Sunday
(20:54):
before Pro Bowl starts. I'm leaving Wednesday, so that gives
me two and a half days to find Again, you.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Have to do because you have to do the pre plan.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
We had brought this dress back in December, right like duh,
but like, what are the freaking odds?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
So the plan was, okay, we'll each go effort.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
Whoever finds an alternate first, like, we'll just let the
other one know, right, So we're both scrambling. Thankfully, I
like sent out the bat signal Attilie Indigo was the
dress I ended up wearing. Shout out to them tremendous.
One of our stylists helped us out and I was
able to get the dress within a day, Wow, within
(21:32):
a day. But yeah, if not, like we might just
have leaned into it like this is not the official
and spread carpet.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Oh have we not known? I think?
Speaker 5 (21:43):
God, we're all friends and of course all we talked,
but it was also a reminder to all of us,
like we need to communicate better about these things. And
of course Colleen and I were paired together on the
red carpet, so it's not like, oh I was on
this side, like we were the tag team that we
were racking.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
You knew there would be like a split screen will
laugh somewhere else.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
So hard like we put it.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
Thank god, we're like vast Sea's essentially here. But yeah,
just for low key, it almost had happened, like had
we just shown up like the same freaking dress?
Speaker 3 (22:18):
So how was it?
Speaker 1 (22:19):
The behind the scenes of that, it was awesome.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
This was the first time both Colleen and I had
worked the NFL Honors red carpet show here for the network,
so I had worked fun fact, the early years of
my career started off in entertainment as well.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
So I've covered a ton of red carpets before.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Colleen had never and I was like, girl, if anybody's
gonna be fine, it's you.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Like, don't you worry.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Well, if you've done.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Inside training camp, you can do a red car but like,
this is a non issue.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
So we just had so much fun.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
And our position on the red carpet was the very
last one before you entered the theater.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
We're literally at the theater doors, so everyone had.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
To go to pass behind front of There's like no.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Choice, there's no choice.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
So even if like we weren't interviewing someone, we got
to see everyone through.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
All of the celebrities. Ali Reisman, a big old medalist,
came up. She's like, oh my god, I love your dress.
I was like, I love you, Ali Reisman, Gymnasts USA.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
Let's go unbelievable Easter Ray, who by the way, I
met earlier in the week. So much happened, you guys,
So much happened this week. She looked incredible. I mean
there was just folks like floating around, running around, and
all of our media friends of course too. We were
really excited to see and all of the players. By
the way, Michael Parsons was in chunklate.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
You guys saw that, yes, and right again? So what
was his reason?
Speaker 5 (23:41):
He said, comfort first, okay, sat comfort first. His feet
were hurting.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
He's done a one different.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Cats a lot because.
Speaker 6 (23:51):
He just seems to embraced who and.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
What he is unapologetically his own style and flair.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
And I love it.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
You know what I've noticed about Michael too.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
Almost every time that I've seen him off the field,
he's eating a snack.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
He's always got a snack.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
What does he normally eat?
Speaker 5 (24:07):
Last year at Radio Row he was eating I think
cheetos or something. So I was like, you got a.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Little almost smoots right there. Great. He's like, oh my bad.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
But he's very but he's very down to earth, like he's.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Very like I was hungry, Like I get that I.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
Have snacks in my purse at every turn, whether it's
got the so whatever.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
And he's pretty tall guy.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Yeah, and so like in knowing like you're you were
taller than Colleen?
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I am taller. Yes, many people are.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
She's any baby, Yeah, a little polly pocket. Love her
so much, our little figure skater. You guys knew she
was a figure skater, right, yes, yes, So that was honors.
Then earlier in the week, myself and Cam Jordan, our
buddy Cam Cam's Great Uh interviewed Reba McIntyre and Andre
(24:55):
Day and Post Malone and it was such a cool
experience ahead of them, you know, hitting the field for
pregame performances. What a great group, what a I mean
last year with Chris Tapleton and SHIRLEYE Ralph and Babyface
was epic and like it's just every year we just
get really cool people on the stage. But like Riba
walked in and I was like, do I Curtsey, Like
(25:15):
I don't supposed to.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
It's like royalty right correct.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
It took everything in me and I won't sing it
because I don't know if we have the rights to
this Randy from her from her theme, so I'm trying
to save you. It took everything and me not to
sing the song. But she could not have been kinder.
She wo and I noticed, like the little things in folks,
because this is how I conduct myself and I know
you do the same thing.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Well, she came in and the first people she went.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
Through was to the crew and introduced herself to the
crew and shook everybody's hand like she's just classy. She's
just a class act. Every one hundred day could not
have been sweeter and more gorgeous. And post Malone is
a sweetheart.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
So I was going to ask you, so, how was she?
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Like so so nice?
Speaker 4 (25:51):
It seems like he's very unassuming, is that?
Speaker 5 (25:54):
And like he's like a southern gentleman, Like he was like, yes, ma'am,
so nice to me. I was one yes ma'am away
from being like all right, now that's enough with the mama,
all right?
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Not that all.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
I mean he's done like he's like coversion, he's done country.
You can do anything genre, So I mean that that
guy's top notch. And and he also has done a
collaboration with Taylor Swift to like on her new album
that's going to be coming.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
Out everywhere and rightfully so, And like one thing we
noticed is like, wow, he's really tall. He's very tall, Yeah,
because he and Cam Jordan were chopping up. He's not
as tall as Cam because is gigantic, but he's he's
up there so like six one six too.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
He's such like a big teddy bear.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Best talking to him and meeting him when we had
a Super Bowl show here.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
You know, he's our fellow podcast coworker the NFL.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Yeah, and he's always been, you know, friend of NFL
network and during football and he.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
Says, well that we need to cross promo because he's
he hosted by himself and he gets really lonely, and
I said, whenever.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Do it say a lot. Let's teach in some Spanish too.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
He's in you know, you know, he's spent most of
the summer with his family in Spain so that the
kids could learn a little bit of space.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Yeah, let's let's make this happen here. Let us make
this happen people.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
One of the other highlights where and you probably saw
them on the red carpet to the Latino Youth Honorees
and they.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Are tremendous kids.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
I got to host a executive session with them and
they we brought in folks from the NFL League office
just to show them different pathways. But one young man
is on his way waiting for his acceptance letter from
MIT amazing. His back up school is Stanford, Like, are
you kidding me with this? And the young ladies are
they're all most of them play either tackle or flag
football and they're just such an impressive group of kids.
(27:45):
I was like, look, I'm your theena. So when you
guys are running like Fortune five hundred companies, like when
you're like the next commissioner of the league, Like, don't
forget about me, I just want an interview.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Hire me as a consultant. It's fine, We're here to help.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Combo.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
It's a package.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
But they were phenomenal, phenomenal And this is like a
weird fun fact. But along with flag breakdancing is now
also in the Olympics for LA twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
I don't even know if I knew that.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
I don't know if anyone is familiar, like my breakdancing
hip hop heads might know a man by the name
of Crazy Legs who's from New York. He's Puerto Rican.
He one of like the biggest names in breakdancing.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Did he start breakdancing?
Speaker 5 (28:29):
No, I didn' start, but he was like one of
like the big names that came out of like the
break dancing movement and all of that stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
So he was there supporting the kids. He works a
lot with the Hispanic Heritage Fund, so it was really cool.
It gave me a lot of hope for the next generation.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
I know, but are they gen z if you're seventeen,
now are you gen Z?
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Or is that the next whatever?
Speaker 3 (28:46):
I think they have to be the next.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
It has to be the next iteration of whatever. Yeah
whatever twenty years or they might be at the cusp
of whatever. We give gen Z a lot of craps sometimes,
but man, they're really really That's.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Great And it was very fun seeing Diana there Florida
Zoo Oh yes.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
Podcast and you know that she was doing TV work
for Unibcio.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Yeah, she was so she crushed it.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
Yeah, she was at Lassana and we had to kept
telling her go to bed, yeah, because she had to be.
Her call time was six diurn in the morning.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
It's amazing she don't want to leave. How her life
is transformed. Ye.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
And she's become this role model.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
And I was with her at Pro Bowl too, so
she's another one that did like Pro Bowl to Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Was the whole game, worked the game.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
Yeah, she's crushing and I'm so proud of her, so
happy for her. And I'd be remissive to say if
not to mention a rock star from the forty nine
ers team, someone most of you don't see but is
absolutely on the field the entire game Serena Soriano. Yeah,
is their senior producer and cinematographer out there. I got
this great shot of her when I was rewatching the
(29:52):
game at home, like right before the coin toss. She's
out there with her big old camera just like front
and center, right next to the lead referee, and I
was like, look at.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Our girl, go embrace the grind.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
And she's doing the.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
Few latinas out they're doing cinematography for the NFL and
just crushing it behind the scenes, so all of the
content if you're if you're a Niners fan, she plays
a huge role in what you see and a huge
role in really focusing and lifting up the Latino fan
base too.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
So she was at last Ana too. She got invited,
as she should because she's.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Crushing except me.
Speaker 4 (30:25):

Speaker 5 (31:12):
Is you can't let Latinos get together too often because
this is what happens.
Speaker 1 (31:18):

We love this. Uh okay, but Victor said, is we'll
be here all day one hundred percent?
Speaker 1 (31:37):

Speaker 3 (32:05):
He's down.
Speaker 5 (32:05):
I knew Victor wasn't gonna say no either. No, So
on one of the highlights.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Of my week for sure, for sure, for sure.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
So my bunto is this.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
So you know those Disney commercials of you just won
the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
What are you going to do?
Speaker 6 (32:23):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Yes, I'm going to Disney World, going to Disneyland. Well,
they had never done the commercial in Spanish, so I
had a chance to do the first commercial in Spanish.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
What I voiced?
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Yeah, that's here, thank you, thank you, everybody appreciate that.
So it aired in Uh, it's airing in Mexico and
it's airing on all the Spanish channels in the US.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
That's a massive wow.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
I still can't believe it either. It is an incredible honor.
Just this kid, Nico Roguan kid in San Francisco. So
you would be able to do that, Like I remember
watching it. I mean it's been going on for thirty
seven years on the English side, but they've never done
it on the Spanish side, So this is the first
year that they did it. And I just remember when
they reached out. I honestly thought like it was like
(33:15):
a fishing scamming.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
I was so I was like block.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
And so uh because it was the thing. It's like
how did they how did this come about.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
Or whatever, and so they reached out.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Yeah, but but they they reached out and I was
just amazed and did it. And I remember before I
did the recording, they said, hey, not to put any
pressure on you, but this is historic because you're the
first one to do it, and so hopefully I'll get
a chance to do it for as long as Mark Champion,
(33:48):
who does it on the English side.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
It just was an amazing experience.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
They can just use that just under that check.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
Yeah, well, I mean.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
That's all, Well, that is incredible.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
You kept that close to the beast too, because I
have no idea you'd we can't really.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Yeah, but it's also too it's it's like it's tough.
It's like everybody's like you got to throw it out
They gotta throw it out there. It's like, you know,
I just like always sometimes feel a little weird if
I do or I don't, and it's like it's like this,
this is like a big.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Thing and it's for our community. It's incredible.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
So so I just felt like, gosh, hopefully that's like
another kind of like a trail blazing thing that I'll
be able to So.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
That's a big boom man. Wow, yeah, I love it.
Speaker 4 (34:35):

How did you think Las Vegas was as a host.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Look, if it's one thing Vegas knows how to do
as host a party. Okay, an eight day party for us?
You know what I think it was. It was our
buddy Steve Travino who who said it, like, you can't
go to a Latino party because it's like four in
the morning and it's still going. That's what it felt
like in Vegas except for eight Day Street, and we
(03:24):
weren't even out on these streets like that, well, like
really weren't. It's just like the week is so long,
there's so much to do. You have six, seven, eight
events in a day, plus work, and you don't want
to miss anything.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
And it's like such a reunion of.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Everybody in media all together, all of the players and
just folks across the landscape or there. There's celebrities we saw,
I saw our buddies.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
And at the promos. I'll talk about that party later.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
That was a party, a dinner, but it turned into
a party because all the Latinos that were there, it's
it's just awesome, Like, you know, you're not going to
really sleep.
Speaker 1 (04:01):

And then he's like, and I don't know why we
talked about a bajillion times on this podcast, yes, and
it didn't click for until he's like, well, my buddy,
will I was.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Like, oh my god, yes, of course.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
Mind you. I have to remind you guys, this was
nowa day seven in Vegas, so I barely I barely.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Knew what day it was.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Is a forty eight hour thing, you know, Mike.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Max thirty six.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
So everybody hits.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
It hard right when they get there.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Then they feel bad the pool when they ramp it
back up again, and then you're righty Well.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
First of all, it was ford in the forties.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Yeah, that's crazy, high thirties raining for half the week.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Yeah, not what I think.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Somebody text me at some point in the week and said,
I hope you're not melting in the Vegas sun. I
would love to melt right now.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
For two minutes, I was.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Because it's the desert, right, because the desert has extreame
heat or extreme.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Cold exactly freezing cold.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
But it was really, it was such a crick It
was such a kick to get that text.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
Was like, yes, he's like we got to take a
picture of like immediately, you know.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
It was then crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
So then I got the next day, so Sunday, Super
Bowl Sunday, I get another text from him, and he
took a selfie.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
With my brother that was there.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yes, two of my brothers were there, and and Al
took a photo with one of them and it's like,
you know, well that's yeah, Al's the best. So happy
for his success and what he's done. We do need
to get him on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
It feels like we failed in that aspect.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Yeah no, but I fail.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I mean part of it is like it's like asking him, Okay,
so now he's gotta gotta do it. Hopefully he'll want
to come on and talk football, but something tells me
he may not.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
He may not want to do it right away. He's space,
he's gonna need.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
His some healing.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Our buddy, my buddy Ben.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Yeah, upset, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
He was.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
He was crying.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
He was like, I just want to see them when
one it's like they have a one one and he
was feeling so good about it. We were at a
Super Bowl party. Majority were rooting for the forty nine ers.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Even had a quick cornhole tournament and it was funny
because he was going up against my wife Chen, just
the two of them is like, everybody's paired up, and
he throws it up real high. He turns around and
he points to her like this. It goes right in
the hole.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Didn't even know and everybody's like, oh, okay, okay. So
Ben was feeling himself going he yeah, he was feeling.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Good, and then just you fast forward a few hours
later crying and was not happy, and I felt bad
for him. I mean, that was that was very, very rough.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
It's one of those things we covered the sport and
we obviously remain impartial.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
But the whole reason why we got into this because
we were fans, of course, and there's a human element.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
We've had friends of the Pod, you know, be involved,
like like Kittle and Federico, you know, I mean like
we've had people on and it just just to see
them control that game for a majority of the time.
But then it was death by paper cuts with so
(08:15):
many mistakes and them that are never little things, no,
well they get amplified right in this kind of atmosphere.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
And then the muffed punt as well, and then the
the blown.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Blocking assignment when Chris Jones goes through and that's third
and four, and then they decide to kick the field
goal and overtime. There's ambiguity about the overtime rules. Then
abandoning the run where it seemed like they were gashing
the Chiefs.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
You can hear Tony Romo say it over and over again.
Get it back to McCaffrey. Stick to the run. That's
what works.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
And I don't know he.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
Was saying, oh, Jim, I would get into McCaffrey.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I don't know what such about. I like him in
the booth.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
I just predicted the plays.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
I think, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I enjoy, you know, but I away though he was, Yes,
he was saying, what was correct to give the ball
to your star playmaker in a in a sea of stars, right,
no question.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
So I think that was just hard to watch.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
And then to see that they were blitzing more and
to blitz somebody like Patrick mahomes the shark.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Phase him whatsoever. Quite frankly, it does the opposite.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
It's Patrick Mahons.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
It only emboldened some more to get creative, to go
to his guys to do what he's got to do.
It's tough, especially when you going back to the mistakes,
the errors, the small things you cannot we all know,
and this is proof proof of concept. You can't give
the chiefs a centimeter nothing, a blade of grass. They're
(09:52):
going to exploit it and they're going to make sure
that they get the dub. And it was it was,
it was tough to watch because all other things considered,
the Niners went out there, man, and they played their
hearts out. We knew it was going to to be physical.
We knew it was going to be a really gritty game.
I was talking to the guys at opening night. I
was able to co host the opening night ceremonies with
our Scott Hansen sit the Skulls, who, by the way,
(10:15):
all our Raiders fans Sibly is the in game host
for the Raiders throughout the year, so that was her
home stage.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Nice.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
She walked us through everything. She's amazing. It was awesome,
like and I remember talking to the guys there. I
saw Fred from Afar because he was at a podium
of course, so we're roving around sort of also trying
to pull guys to go up on the jumbo jumbo tron,
just like all the other members of the media from
all over the world there. So it's a really interesting night.
(10:41):
And I saw Fred from Afar. He was at a
podium and he just sort of like, hey, what's up
in mind. I was talking to our girl Sydney, who
by the way, is thirty seven weeks pregnant.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
She yes, she is almost.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
Baby Warner is almost here. Okay, in a few weeks,
God willing, he will.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Do they know if it's going to be oh wow,
another in this world.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
You wonder if it's going to.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Be a jah.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
They haven't said the name yet.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Yeah, we'll have to talk to her about it. But
I was like, wellma's Chuck, are you doing all right?
Haven't been able to talk to her since. I was like,
I need to give him a minute. I need to
give him a minute because I can't imagine what's going
through his mind.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
But I remember watching him that night come in all business,
and that's the night where they could.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
Really let loose a little bit more, be a little
bit more chill, right, because they haven't really gotten into
the prep and the hardcore stuff of the week yet.
It's supposed to be the real celebratory night for both
of the teams to come together. And he was just stoneface.
I mean not with us obviously, but like you could
just tell. And when you saw him on the sideline
Super Bowl Sunday. He was there for that last Super.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Bowl that they lost against the Chiefs in Miami, right,
And so I.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
Think of those guys and it's rough. But then on
the other side of stuff. I was talking to the
Chiefs players as well. Nicole Hartman, who came off the
stage immediately remembered me and was like, yeah, let's go,
let's chat. And he's another younger guy in the in
the NFL. You has, yes, you has been able to
go to so many Super Bowls now with the Chiefs,
So it's been really interesting just to see that trajectory
(12:09):
and then for Nicole to get the game winner in
overtime like his arc as well, because he went through
some struggles last season. Yeah too, Remember he got really
emotional missing a play and things like that on the sideline.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
So it's it's it's always really for us.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
It's so different because you start to build this rapport
from guys from all around the league, so you start
to root for them and for their happiness and for
their successes.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
So it's I'm happy.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
For the guys on the Chiefs who one, and then
I'm heartbroken for our guys on the Niners at loss,
and then the fan bases as well.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
It's it gets tougher and tough for every year, you
know it does.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
And now Shanahan is getting that reputation right that he
can't win when they are up ten points.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah, because this isn't just about his trajectory on the Niners.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Yeah, and last one also yeah, and that's when he
was the oppensive coordinator. But he has his fingerprints on
everything with this organization, so you wonder what they are
going to do. It feels like there is going to
be some sort of change, maybe on his coaching staff.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yeah, I think that's I don't know what that's.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Going to be.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I don't know if it's going to be on the
defensive side of things.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
It just seemed like.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
With Steve Wilkes there he was coming into a situation
where the philosophies and schemes were in place, and it's
different than when you go to a new place and
you're installing your system, and it just seemed to never
quite get going the way that they expected it to,
where he was up in the up in the booth
(13:45):
and then he decided to be out on the field and.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Then they had the three game losing streak.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
So I'm not saying that change is going to happen
on the defensive side. It just feels like something has
to happen here. And it's just like with Shanahan. He
it's not the end of the world, because there are
Hall of Fame coaches Don Coriel or the Chargers when
it was with San Diego and Marv Levy four straight
Super Bowls. With the Bills, they never won it. But
(14:15):
something needs to change. And what that change is, I'm
not sure. I don't know if it's just his.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Late game planning again, like like a big.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
We were talking about him jumping in to change the
call when he didn't like the look that he was
getting from the defense.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Yes, which was an interesting moment. Yes, and that's calling
the time out.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Yeah, I mean that's what what gives me, that just
vibe or or just feeling right.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
I mean, we know how much the organization and the
Yorks love Shanahan and moreover, the Shanahan Lynch combination, and
I mean the players that they have brought in and
how they have rebuilt this team and what they have
established there.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
But until you really get.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
Over the hump and you bring home another party, the
history books sort of eradicated that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
And then in his peers, you know like they you know,
like they've been able to close it out and so
this is this is kind of the vexing problem.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
There's a missing there's a missing link there and they
got to figure it out.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
He's like a sea better yeah, but great with the
x's and no's, but there and that's the that's the
part that he needs to eliminate.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
So over on the Chiefs though, wow, we have to
give credit where credit is due, because I remember in
overtime the moment that they got the ball, I was like, well,
my friends.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
It's over.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
It's a rap.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
That's it. That is a wrap.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
And the Chiefs have done it once again, even with
all the drama and Kelsey getting mad at Andy Reid
and all of that stuff, they have cemented themselves as
what is a dynasty like? And poise now because I
think year after year and we talked about missing links
Over on the Niner side, there's just something there that
(16:07):
hasn't quite come together in totality the way they needed
to close it out. But the Chiefs have been able
to make things happen even with turnover, even with big
name stars leaving year after year. So credit to Andy Reid,
credit to the incredible players that are on there, even
the young guys who really step it up.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Do you think that they'd be able to repeat this thing.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
I think it's certainly possible. Yeah, And I do think
that he can win seven Super Bowls. I do because
this was the year where they seemed the most quote
unquote vulner a back right, because the offense wasn't as
dynamic as we've seen in other years. Kelsey was largely
ancient for most of the season. And to see what
(16:52):
Andy Reid has done with that offense. And yet Patrick
Mahomes he can run the ball and you see like
how dangerous he is when he does decide to run.
He doesn't do it a lot, but boy, when he
does it, he's intentional and he just makes things just
miserable for opposing defenses. So what we are seeing is
(17:14):
greatness to to the to the Shanahan side of it,
kind of just going back to it in the forty
nine ers, you can say, you know, listen, you were
beaten by Patrick Mahomes twice. Who is being compared to
Tom It's not right, So like it's just some random
(17:36):
guy like, you know, no offense to like a Trent
Dilfer who won the Super Bowl for the.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Ravens, or you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Brad Johnson of the Box this.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
This is a legit future Hall of Famer and he's
not even thirty yet. Yeah, so, uh no, what Camp
City has done is is incredibly impressive. And I do
think that, you know, everybody else is unnotice if they
haven't been already. You know, are you gotta step up,
Josh Allen, you gotta step up too.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
You gotta step up? You know.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Now are our m v P which we will talk
about honors in a minute.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Yeah, yeah, Well when do we want to touch upon?
Shall we take a break?
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
So why don't we Why don't we reset a little
bit more of the Lhaddle podcast. By the way, my
mom was saying about Patrick Mahomes, I'll come with it,
but Patrick Holmes, Mommy, Yeah, my mom's said either way,
more of the podcast. We'll get into the NFL honors
and all that good stuff. And something that I did
as well that I don't think you're aware of it,
(18:40):
that's on the other side, Hope.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Think that was one of the great moments you saw
that Chintz of pocket.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Yeah, straight to.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
The end zone.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I mean I thought that if if things were going
the forty nine ers way and they had one, I
thought that Juan Jennings.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Was okay, go jas.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
I don't think they would have given him.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
But you don't take on the game.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Maybe you know he's pretty impactful, very extremely Yeah, you listen.
And Christian maccafery when he was running the ball, he
was impactful. He was at NFL Honors where you were, which,
by the way, so.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
I was watching you and Colleen, both of you.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Besides being incredibly talented and knowing the two of you,
you guys look stunning.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Thank you, absolutely gorgeous, both of you.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
Can I tell you a really funny story about Colleen
and I.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Honors.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
I'm glad you thought we looked great, Thank you, Thank
you so much, because we almost ended up looking like twins.
Oh why because we pulled dress the ex at same dress,
the black.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Dress that Colleen was rad you're saying, so there.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Were two of them or there was one and you
both were gred.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
No, No, we each bought the same dress and our girl,
Cynthia Freelan was the one who saved our butts.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Okay, so were you wearing something from Cynthia Freeland No.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
No, we found out. It was enough time.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
We found out on Championship Sunday when the lines were.
I called Cynthia for a wellness track to make sure
she was okay watching her team, and she was like, okay,
just distract me for a minute.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
It was halftime.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
She's like, what are you wearing? Honors. I described to
her the dress and she like goes pale and I
was like, what's wrong and she's like, I'm pretty sure
that's the same dress Colleen bought. And I was like,
we're adding calling to this this call right now, Call Colleen.
Colleen doesn't answer me. She calls me later and she's like,
you're kidding, You're joking, mind you. This is now Sunday
(20:54):
before Pro Bowl starts. I'm leaving Wednesday, so that gives
me two and a half days to find Again, you.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Have to do because you have to do the pre plan.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
We had brought this dress back in December, right like duh,
but like, what are the freaking odds?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
So the plan was, okay, we'll each go effort.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
Whoever finds an alternate first, like, we'll just let the
other one know, right, So we're both scrambling. Thankfully, I
like sent out the bat signal Attilie Indigo was the
dress I ended up wearing. Shout out to them tremendous.
One of our stylists helped us out and I was
able to get the dress within a day, Wow, within
(21:32):
a day. But yeah, if not, like we might just
have leaned into it like this is not the official
and spread carpet.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Oh have we not known? I think?
Speaker 5 (21:43):
God, we're all friends and of course all we talked,
but it was also a reminder to all of us,
like we need to communicate better about these things. And
of course Colleen and I were paired together on the
red carpet, so it's not like, oh I was on
this side, like we were the tag team that we
were racking.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
You knew there would be like a split screen will
laugh somewhere else.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
So hard like we put it.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
Thank god, we're like vast Sea's essentially here. But yeah,
just for low key, it almost had happened, like had
we just shown up like the same freaking dress?
Speaker 3 (22:18):
So how was it?
Speaker 1 (22:19):
The behind the scenes of that, it was awesome.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
This was the first time both Colleen and I had
worked the NFL Honors red carpet show here for the network,
so I had worked fun fact, the early years of
my career started off in entertainment as well.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
So I've covered a ton of red carpets before.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Colleen had never and I was like, girl, if anybody's
gonna be fine, it's you.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Like, don't you worry.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Well, if you've done.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Inside training camp, you can do a red car but like,
this is a non issue.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
So we just had so much fun.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
And our position on the red carpet was the very
last one before you entered the theater.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
We're literally at the theater doors, so everyone had.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
To go to pass behind front of There's like no.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Choice, there's no choice.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
So even if like we weren't interviewing someone, we got
to see everyone through.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
All of the celebrities. Ali Reisman, a big old medalist,
came up. She's like, oh my god, I love your dress.
I was like, I love you, Ali Reisman, Gymnasts USA.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
Let's go unbelievable Easter Ray, who by the way, I
met earlier in the week. So much happened, you guys,
So much happened this week. She looked incredible. I mean
there was just folks like floating around, running around, and
all of our media friends of course too. We were
really excited to see and all of the players. By
the way, Michael Parsons was in chunklate.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
You guys saw that, yes, and right again? So what
was his reason?
Speaker 5 (23:41):
He said, comfort first, okay, sat comfort first. His feet
were hurting.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
He's done a one different.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Cats a lot because.
Speaker 6 (23:51):
He just seems to embraced who and.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
What he is unapologetically his own style and flair.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
And I love it.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
You know what I've noticed about Michael too.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
Almost every time that I've seen him off the field,
he's eating a snack.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
He's always got a snack.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
What does he normally eat?
Speaker 5 (24:07):
Last year at Radio Row he was eating I think
cheetos or something. So I was like, you got a.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Little almost smoots right there. Great. He's like, oh my bad.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
But he's very but he's very down to earth, like he's.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Very like I was hungry, Like I get that I.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
Have snacks in my purse at every turn, whether it's
got the so whatever.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
And he's pretty tall guy.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Yeah, and so like in knowing like you're you were
taller than Colleen?
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I am taller. Yes, many people are.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
She's any baby, Yeah, a little polly pocket. Love her
so much, our little figure skater. You guys knew she
was a figure skater, right, yes, yes, So that was honors.
Then earlier in the week, myself and Cam Jordan, our
buddy Cam Cam's Great Uh interviewed Reba McIntyre and Andre
(24:55):
Day and Post Malone and it was such a cool
experience ahead of them, you know, hitting the field for
pregame performances. What a great group, what a I mean
last year with Chris Tapleton and SHIRLEYE Ralph and Babyface
was epic and like it's just every year we just
get really cool people on the stage. But like Riba
walked in and I was like, do I Curtsey, Like
(25:15):
I don't supposed to.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
It's like royalty right correct.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
It took everything in me and I won't sing it
because I don't know if we have the rights to
this Randy from her from her theme, so I'm trying
to save you. It took everything and me not to
sing the song. But she could not have been kinder.
She wo and I noticed, like the little things in folks,
because this is how I conduct myself and I know
you do the same thing.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Well, she came in and the first people she went.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
Through was to the crew and introduced herself to the
crew and shook everybody's hand like she's just classy. She's
just a class act. Every one hundred day could not
have been sweeter and more gorgeous. And post Malone is
a sweetheart.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
So I was going to ask you, so, how was she?
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Like so so nice?
Speaker 4 (25:51):

Out everywhere and rightfully so, And like one thing we
noticed is like, wow, he's really tall. He's very tall, Yeah,
because he and Cam Jordan were chopping up. He's not
as tall as Cam because is gigantic, but he's he's
up there so like six one six too.
Speaker 4 (26:37):

One of the other highlights where and you probably saw
them on the red carpet to the Latino Youth Honorees

Speaker 1 (27:20):
Are tremendous kids.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
I got to host a executive session with them and
they we brought in folks from the NFL League office
just to show them different pathways. But one young man
is on his way waiting for his acceptance letter from
MIT amazing. His back up school is Stanford, Like, are
you kidding me with this? And the young ladies are
they're all most of them play either tackle or flag
football and they're just such an impressive group of kids.
(27:45):
I was like, look, I'm your theena. So when you
guys are running like Fortune five hundred companies, like when
you're like the next commissioner of the league, Like, don't

But they were phenomenal, phenomenal And this is like a
weird fun fact. But along with flag breakdancing is now
also in the Olympics for LA twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
I don't even know if I knew that.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
I don't know if anyone is familiar, like my breakdancing
hip hop heads might know a man by the name
of Crazy Legs who's from New York. He's Puerto Rican.
He one of like the biggest names in breakdancing.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Did he start breakdancing?

No, I didn' start, but he was like one of
like the big names that came out of like the
break dancing movement and all of that stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
So he was there supporting the kids. He works a
lot with the Hispanic Heritage Fund, so it was really cool.
It gave me a lot of hope for the next generation.
Speaker 5 (28:41):

now are you gen Z?
Speaker 1 (28:45):

whatever twenty years or they might be at the cusp
of whatever. We give gen Z a lot of craps sometimes,
but man, they're really really That's.

is transformed. Ye.

Yeah, she's crushing and I'm so proud of her, so
happy for her. And I'd be remissive to say if
not to mention a rock star from the forty nine
ers team, someone most of you don't see but is
absolutely on the field the entire game Serena Soriano. Yeah,
is their senior producer and cinematographer out there. I got
this great shot of her when I was rewatching the

out there with her big old camera just like front
and center, right next to the lead referee, and I
was like, look at.

Speaker 4 (30:02):
And she's doing the.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
Few latinas out they're doing cinematography for the NFL and
just crushing it behind the scenes, so all of the
content if you're if you're a Niners fan, she plays
a huge role in what you see and a huge
role in really focusing and lifting up the Latino fan
base too.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
So she was at last Ana too. She got invited,
as she should because she's.

Speaker 6 (32:23):

Speaker 2 (32:23):

they had never done the commercial in Spanish, so I
had a chance to do the first commercial in Spanish.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
What I voiced?
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Yeah, that's here, thank you, thank you, everybody appreciate that.
So it aired in Uh, it's airing in Mexico and
it's airing on all the Spanish channels in the US.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
That's a massive wow.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
I still can't believe it either. It is an incredible honor.
Just this kid, Nico Roguan kid in San Francisco. So
you would be able to do that, Like I remember
watching it. I mean it's been going on for thirty
seven years on the English side, but they've never done
it on the Spanish side, So this is the first
year that they did it. And I just remember when
they reached out. I honestly thought like it was like
(33:15):
a fishing scamming.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
I was so I was like block.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
And so uh because it was the thing. It's like
how did they how did this come about.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
Or whatever, and so they reached out.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Yeah, but but they they reached out and I was
just amazed and did it. And I remember before I
did the recording, they said, hey, not to put any
pressure on you, but this is historic because you're the
first one to do it, and so hopefully I'll get
a chance to do it for as long as Mark Champion,
(33:48):
who does it on the English side.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
It just was an amazing experience.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
They can just use that just under that check.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
Yeah, well, I mean.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
That's all, Well, that is incredible.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
You kept that close to the beast too, because I
have no idea you'd we can't really.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Yeah, but it's also too it's it's like it's tough.
It's like everybody's like you got to throw it out
They gotta throw it out there. It's like, you know,
I just like always sometimes feel a little weird if
I do or I don't, and it's like it's like this,
this is like a big.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Thing and it's for our community. It's incredible.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
So so I just felt like, gosh, hopefully that's like
another kind of like a trail blazing thing that I'll
be able to So.
