I mean, when Giannis said it acouple years ago, it was just
like oh, it's just a game, I'mbasically Giannis.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Okay, that sounds like a loser statement to me,
that's what that sounds like tome, oh man.
Well, let's get right into it.
Let's not delay Diego.
We got to get into this, rightinto it.
Let's not delay diego, we gotto get into this, uh.
So let's talk about, uh.
Last week we had a phenomenalshow at kings.
Thank you all for coming out.
That was just a great show.

(02:13):
Man.
You all represented brianna.
It was great to have her.
She'll be on with us in aminute.
But, uh, thanks to marquisewilliams, former unc quarterback
tavaris, jordan chuck, globalum justice mitchell, everyone,
tennessee quarterback Tavares,jordan Chuck, global Justice
Mitchell, everyone that came outand made that show special.
We sold out, the food was great, great reviews, and it looks
like that's going to be the newnormal.
As we go, we're going to expandand move on to that format,

(02:36):
starting in April.
So March is probably going tobe the last time you can see us
for free in Kings, starting inApril.
It looks like we're going tomove to that format and be in
the back, so that's going to bethe new way that we're going to
do it.
So, breaking news on that.
But, yeah, this is the mobsquad here.
I love this photo.
Got every, got us mean muggingand again it was so great.

(02:58):
Brie made the trip down fromArizona so that we had just a
phenomenal time.
So shout out to everyone thatmade that night special, as it
was very special.
So thank you very, very much,all right.
Well, let's get intoPhiladelphia Eagles.
Let's start off here.
They are the champs, so we'renot going to start with the

(03:18):
Chiefs.
Okay, that's the fun part.
So, diego, we're not going tobeat up on you yet.
We're going to beat up on youin a minute.
We're going to make you wait alittle bit before we beat up on
you.
We're going to talk about thePhiladelphia Eagles first.
Saquon Barkley had an amazingseason.
He broke 2,000.
Could have had the all-timeRussian record, was amazing in
the divisional round, wasamazing in the conference

(03:40):
championship.
Super Bowl Not so much, but hedid his job.
He was the decoy and the eagleshad a blowout win.
But where does this seasonstack amongst the all-time
greats here, with uh runningbacks, what would I think this
is definitely the best runningback season ever.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
I mean, he had the 2000 in the regular season.
Could have got the record.
That would have been the extragame, but still, even if he got
that would have been a greataccomplishment.
And then went crazy in theregular season.
Could have got the record, thatwould have been the extra game,
but still, even if he got it,that would have been a great
accomplishment.
And then went crazy in theplayoffs and got the Super Bowl.
Yeah, I just think if youcombine regular season and
playoffs together, that'sdefinitely the greatest season.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Okay, what do you say ?

Speaker 3 (04:20):
C-Pain.
I agree and I feel like theinevitability of a Saquon
breakaway run this season feltlike what Steph Curry back in
2016,.
Anytime there was a deep three,it was just like, oh, this is
crazy, it's going to shift themomentum and it's going to
definitely lead this team to awin.
And I do think that, regardlessof how his Super Bowl
performance may have been, thatoffensive line, he got him there

(04:43):
.
He was the main engine, themain vehicle.
And then, you know, there's aguy who showed up and you know
might be one of the betterquarterbacks in the nfl, but he
still doubted.
So we're gonna, we're gonna seetalk about that too.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Okay, all right.
Well, you guys are young bucksso you don't quite have the
history that I have on this, buthe had a nice season.
Okay, but that was not the bestrunning back season.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
What was the best?

Speaker 1 (05:09):
running back Best running back season was Terrell
Davis with the Denver Broncos.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Did he break the?
Did he break any records?

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Well, yes, so he had back-to-back Superbowl winning
seasons.
Okay, he, the first yearhomeboy, ran for 157 yards and
got three touchdowns in thesuper bowl.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Okay but that's one game, that's not the whole year,
that is true, okay.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
But those playoffs he got 468 yards through those
playoffs.
Then the following year okay,which is the year one year can I
finish?
I bet the next year was theyear that I will put up against
Saquon.
98 season Ran for 2,008 yardsOkay, check.
And in the Super Bowl he ranfor over 100 yards on 20-some

(05:56):
carries Okay, so still had the2,000.
And that year before, when hehad the 157 yards and three
touchdowns, he was a Super BowlMVP, was the last running back
to win Super Bowl MVP, so it wasa beast, so I would have to put
his.
I'll go ahead.
You can really pick either one.
I'm going to go ahead and pickthe 98 season, when he rushed

(06:17):
for over 100 and got a run forover 100 yards and then ran for
over 2000,000 yards that seasonand won back-to-back Super Bowls
.
I'm going to put Terrell Davisthis season over Saquon Barkley.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
All right.
Well, this is a one-year, okay.
It's great Good for him that hewon back-to-back.
This is just a one-year thing,okay.
So he played well in the SuperBowl.
Congrats for him, good job.
Yeah, he still ran for over2,000 yards he did, but Saquon
could have got the record though, but he sat out the game.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Well, yeah, Saquon could have got the record with
the 17th game.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yeah, but Saquon had more regular season rushing
yards.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
His 16 games he got over 2,000 yards.
Saquon got over 2,000 yards his16 games and got over 100 yards
in the Super Bowl and they werekeying on him because he just
came off of 157 yard threetouchdown performance in the
Super Bowl before and still gotover 100 yards with them keying
on him.

(07:15):
But that's okay, that's why wehave the generations here.
I get to school, you it's allright.
He might have cooked Cooked alittle bit Cooked a little bit
cooked a little bit, all right,okay.
Well, let's move on, man, let'smove on.
We're going to continue withthis topic of the eagles.
Let's move on to that defense,all right.

(07:37):
So with the defense, we have avic fangio's d.
They played uh phenomenal, uhshut the um.
They totally shut the Chiefsdown.
Nobody expected that.
Okay, but where does thisdefense rank in the last, we'll
say the last 10 years or so,with Super Bowls?
How would you stack thisdefense up?

Speaker 2 (07:59):
I think it's definitely up there, definitely,
because I mean the second half,I don't really count that
because that was really garbagetime, yeah, but yeah, if you
look the second half, I don'treally count that because that
was really garbage time.
If you look at the first half,this is definitely up there with
the Patriots' performance in2018, how they shut down the
high-powered Rams offense toonly three points.
The Bucs shut down Mahomes andKelsey.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
Super.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Bowl 55.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
I hate to say this last one, but the Broncos.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Mahomes and Kelsey yeah, super Bowl 55.
That was a good one.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Yes, yes, good, I hate to say this last one, but
the Broncos.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Yeah, I didn't know if you were going to say that
one Shut down Cam and thePanthers, yep.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
That was the last 10 years.
I think that's up there withthose.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
That was a good one, definitely top five, for sure.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
Yeah, I was going to say this performance and the
Broncos' decimation of ourCarolina Panthers, yeah, yeah,
that was demoralizing.
Like I know that everybody likeis like Chiefs fans were like
destitute after that.
But nah, that Broncos game,because literally we saw Vaughn

(08:57):
Miller just completely take overand obliterate our team and
like the whole season we'd seenour team put up 30 points or
like and like, with no worry orno stress at all.
They're just seeing our offense, just not do anything.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
That was just terrible, yeah that was uh man,
rough man but but greathistorical reference for from
both you guys, so I would saythat was up there again.
I was going to mention the 15uh broncos.
You have the 18 patriots, soyou definitely mentioned those.
You also have the, the seahawks, the legion of boom, but that

(09:32):
was right before, so it is notquite 10 years so you can't
count them, but they were soclose, but that I put that
legion of doom.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yeah, but they yeah but they weren't there.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Then, if you want to go totally historic, you know,
the oh two bucks when they beatthe raiders, that was one of the
best ones.
The 2000 ravens that was allthat was.
That was amazing that one.
And then, of course, the 85bears, you know, I mean 85 bears
, um, and I think one of the thegiants thing was 90.
The 90 Giants was pretty,pretty good.

(10:05):
So yeah, historically those aresome of the best, best of all
time there.
But we'll see what they do,what they do next year, because
they were good this year.
But the office, I feel like theoffensive line was the dominant
, dominant force of the Eagles.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
So they, they, their defense, their defense showed up
at the right time.
Their DBs played really well.
Lots of credit to those guys.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
We're going to stick with the Eagles.
We've got one more Eagle topic.
We're going to stick with theEagles.
Right now, however, we aregoing to hey, what's up, johnny,
what's up, my man.
We are going to bring onBrianna to talk about Jalen
Hurts and if he is a top fivequarterback, so we're all going
to talk about this, butBrianna's got to come on in.
What's up?

Speaker 5 (10:51):
Bri.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
Hi, hey, hey, hey, how you doing, hey.
So now that we have Brianna, Ithink we can take a champion's
pick.
So this is a tradition onPick'em Pros we have a
championship pick.
So, chris, let's all smile forthe cameras.
Diego, you can just meme up,we'll all cheese.
Yeah, okay, there we go.
Yeah, look at this.

Speaker 5 (11:14):
Yeah, he's canceling us on this one.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
That's right.
Championship pick.
So put that in the books.
Beautiful championship pick.
Thank you, bree for that, allright pick.
So put that in the books.
Beautiful championship pick.
Thank you, brie for that, allright.
So, uh, hey, before we go intothis topic, though, I have to
acknowledge you, you know, beingthe sports correspondent.
You've had some fire interviewshere lately that are going to
be coming out later.
You want to name drop any anyof those just yet, or you want

(11:40):
you want to hold off what youthink.

Speaker 5 (11:42):
I think we should wait.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
I think we should wait.
Yeah, okay, okay all right toit okay, all right, we're gonna
build the suspense.
So big time, folks we've beentalking.

Speaker 5 (11:52):
Just no, they're really good guys.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Yes, really good, I love it.
I love it.
Okay, so let's get into jalenhurts diego.
Is he a five quarterback?

Speaker 2 (12:04):
I wouldn't say he's a top five quarterback just yet.
I'd have him at six, but aheadof him I'd have Mahomes at one,
of course.
Then number two, I'd have JoeBurrow.
I mean, he took that team withthe NOLO lines at Super Bowl and
beat Mahomes in the AFCChampionship game, and all the
great things he's done.
Josh Allen, mvp, at numberthree.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Lamar at all the great things he's done josh
allen, mvp at number three,lamar, number four and then
stafford.
That's what I'd have ahead ofyou.
Yeah, stafford at six.
Oh, staff was like stafford,but you have hertz at six, so he
doesn't make the top five, butyou have him right there at six.
Okay, all right, how about youc pain?

Speaker 3 (12:39):
yeah, I have jalen hertz as a top five quarterback
and to me personally, I thinkthat his argument is, if we're
going by the modern NFL fan takeof winning and winning
mattering, because again, lamarJackson and Josh Allen are both
talked about negatively becausethey haven't reached a super
bowl or they and you know me, Iclown Josh Allen for losing

(13:00):
better to my homes, and I alsoam very honest about Lamar, you
know, disappearing in theplayoffs.
But again, I will stay nextyear.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
It's easy for you to say that now we've all seen next
year no, we ain't bringing thatback anyway.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
I think that I think that jalen has proven I mean,
won two nfc championships andliterally this year wins the
super bowl in dominant fashion,wins super bowl mvp on top of
the fact that, like, even in thelast super bowl, he possibly
could have won super bowl mvp ifhe doesn't have that god awful
fumble.
So I think that he's definitelyproven that he is a top five

(13:38):
quarterback in the league.
I saw a crazy tweet that said18 quarterbacks can do what he
did with this team and I'm like,well, tell them to do it,
please.
Just like, like, let's see 18guys do what he did.
I just I really want to see itbecause realistically it, since
my homes has been in the leagueand since jaylen hurts in the
league, there's only been fourdudes.
So I don't think that.

(13:59):
I think that that's that's nota great take.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
I don't know I think bryce young going to Super Bowl
with that team, I think.

Speaker 5 (14:07):
Of course you think that.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Yeah, you know, I'd like to see that list of 18
quarterbacks.
I don't know if I disagree withthat.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
I have to see.
Maybe you put Russell Wilson inthere.
Okay, there's only 16.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
Russell All right, all right bro.
All russ all right, all right,all right, all right, cut it out
.
Cut it out.
That's, that's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
I'm gonna start talking about just the field
soon, and then I'm just gonnahave to leave the same, because
this is crazy oh man, okay, sowhat?
What about you?
Brie is is jalen hurts a topfive quarterback?

Speaker 5 (14:43):
see, that's where I'm like.
I don't know, because there'sso many other great quarterbacks
that that you guys evenmentioned, like tom brady, joe
montana, pain manning, um, rightfar you know there's so many,
like in all time you knowthere's way better picks than
just right now so right now, inthis moment, yes, but throughout
history, I think yeah yeah,yeah, definitely, definitely

(15:06):
agree.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
Agree with that.
Uh, without history.
So right now would you havethem five?
Would you have them at five?
Because we got my homes, we'vegot so many um, we've got my
homes, we've got josh allen,we've got joe burrow and we have
lamar jackson.
So those are the four that mostare like, okay, those are ahead
.
And then it's like then mostpeople have him at five, which I

(15:29):
think you actually, chris, havehim at five, I believe, right
there.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
I have him at five, but with winning and certain
arguments.
If y'all value winning, y'allcould put him a little higher,
but I'm going to have him atfive just because I don't want
to get too crazy, you got infive, then diego has them at six
, because diego has mattstafford and then hurts at six.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
So yeah would you so?
I'm, I'm just gonna assume youhave the same top four.
We're not gonna say what order,but do you have?

Speaker 5 (16:02):
um, jalen hurts over stafford yeah okay, all, right,
okay yeah, my heart, I'm like noyeah, that's, that's so okay.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
So you and c pain, have him at five over stafford
and I'm I'm aside with diego,I'm, I'm put stafford at five,
but I put hertz at six.
I put hertz at six, but yeah,this is the saying that I didn't
coin, but might be doingsomething with it later.
Two, two things can be true, soI think he could be.

(16:33):
You could list him at five.
I'm not mad at listing him atfive over Stafford because of
what he's done and the fact thathe played so well in the Super
Bowl last year.
However, you could haveStafford as well, but you could
say he's the fifth bestquarterback.
But I think you could alsomaybe say that there's 18 other
quarterbacks that could have wonthe Super Bowl with the Eagles.

(16:54):
We're going to have to bringthat list up.

Speaker 3 (16:56):
I like that.
I'm going to have to see that.
All right, I'll let y'all thinkabout it.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
I will laugh at y'all because there's no way.
Okay, we're going to make alist, we're going to make a list
.
We're going to make a list.
Kyler Murray, you know, I thinkso, I think so.
Yeah, that'll be fun to talkabout.
Okay, well, let's move on toour next Chiefs topic here.

(17:23):
Well, our first Chiefs topic,our first Chiefs topic.
We're going to talk about theblame game here.
Let's get to some.
Yeah, ooh, yeah, see, we gotKelsey wore a suit.
Has anybody heard from Kelsey?

Speaker 3 (17:37):
I mean, he was on his show.
He showed up on his show, onhis own show.
He showed up on his own show.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Okay, because he showed up ready to party.
He had the whole suit there.
You know, and, like you know,cam newton I didn't get now at
least cam newton wore his partysuit to the press conference
afterwards.
Now he left a little early, buthe had his party suit, he had
his shiny shoes and everythingthere.
So you know, kelsey, I'm gonnaassume he did not bring another

(18:03):
outfit and I'm gonna assume hewalked out with that, but I
haven't seen.
Okay, however, anyway, I'mgetting off topic.
Who is more with that?
But I haven't seen it.
Okay, however, anyway, I'mgetting off topic.
Who is more to blame for theSuper Bowl loss?
Is it Andy Reid or is itPatrick Mahomes?
Diego, we're going to startwith you.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
If you say Reid or Mahomes, I'm going to go with
Mahomes, because the reasons whythey lost you can't really
point that to Reid.
Reid really couldn't doanything about that, honestly,
mahomes, he just needed to playbetter.
I know the O-line wasn't reallygiving him much time, but still
, mahomes just needed to playbetter.

(18:40):
Less turnovers, just findingopen guys.
He just didn't do that.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
And yeah, okay All right, what do you say?
Cpay?

Speaker 3 (18:49):
I believe it's my homes as well and the weird
thing is is they nevercapitalize on the key momentum
swings, like when jalen hurtsthrough the interception.
There was a three and out whenthey forced that.
When they forced a punt, youthink, oh, it's 17.
Even after the pick six it'slike, oh, it's 17, zero, they're
about to drive.
He throws that pick to zag bond.
And it's the one thing withthese Chiefs teams, especially

(19:10):
that we've seen in the Mahomesera, is that they capitalize and
they have momentum and thenthat's when all the Chiefs magic
starts to happen.
And yeah, and you know, briannacan also talk about the refs
not even coming into a system.
But, I do think that it isdefinitely on Mahomes, Andy Reid
.
I'm not saying that theoffensive players could have

(19:32):
been more prepared because,again, we didn't expect Philly's
defensive line to turn to themonsters of the midway.
That was ridiculous.
But I do think that Mahomes,that was his worst Super Bowl
performance, at least with theTampa Bay.
It seemed like he was going totry his hardest to do it but it
seemed like by the third quarterhe was dejected and you know it

(19:53):
was kind of crazy to see yeah,yeah, okay.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
What do you say, brie ?
Is it andy reed to blame, or doyou agree with these guys that
mahomes is more to blame?

Speaker 5 (20:03):
no, I definitely think it was mahomes, because,
at the end of the day, he's thefranchise quarterback.
If he's the franchisequarterback and he's that good,
he should know how to deal withthose situations.
And there was no, there was nomotivation from him.
I felt like I feel like he wasjust out there to be out there.
He didn't want to win.
It looked like.
So when I say it was Mahomesfault, it's because it really is

(20:25):
like he did not try.
I feel like like I've seen himplay so many games where he's
done amazing.
He runs it, he slides it, youknow and he just really didn't
do much at the super bowl.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
So yeah, and with the goat status being being there
on the line, you know he, uh,definitely did not, did not step
up to the plate and those whomay have had him there have
taken him back off because ofthat performance.
So, yeah, I would agree withall of you on that.
But I would say, if we had topinpoint it to one person

(20:58):
overall and I see some folkshave said that both are to blame
I would put it on Kelsey.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
His regression has been real over the last several
years and in this game wastotally exposed and they really
needed him to be one of thedominant tight ends in the
league.
And you know, respect to himfor his career Can't, can't
discredit his career.
But I mean, he is what 35 nowhas a lot of miles, has slowed

(21:29):
down.
But they needed him to be atleast what he was in that
Houston game to have any shot atthis and they just didn't
didn't have it.

Speaker 3 (21:39):
But to be fair to him , they have played like 60 games
, like in the past three seasons.
So you know a lot of wear andtear, a lot of them being in the
office but again, like thatwhole offense, even DeAndre
Hopkins with a couple of thedrops.
They never seem to get on thesame page until garbage time.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
Yeah, for sure, for sure.
Do you think this is kind of abonus question?
Do y'all think Kelsey?

Speaker 2 (22:03):
retires Diego?
Yeah, I think he's going toretire, because if he's already
mentioning it, then I thinkthat's going to lead to him
being done.
Yeah, what about you?
C-pain.

Speaker 3 (22:13):
Watching the NFL mic'd up and seeing how long
Mahomes and Kelsey were hugging,it looks like you know it might
be time Long, warm embrace.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
Yeah, okay, all right , bree, what's your take?

Speaker 5 (22:28):
It's hard to say.
I mean after that game hedidn't even really try, so maybe
he was like, oh, this is mylast game, I don't care.
But you would think like youwant to like do good on his last
game yeah, so I don't know,maybe he has one more season in
him.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
It's hard to say yeah , it will be hard to go out like
that, you know.
Yeah, yeah.
So if I had to guess, bet,whatever, I would say that he
retires, but it will be hard togo out on that note, that'll
definitely be tough especiallythe competitor competitor that
he is, and all of that.
So, yeah, yeah, I'm just happythat we don't have to hear the

(23:03):
chiefs radio announcer.
The guy that's like you may notlike the chiefs, you may not.
You know respect, you know allthis other stuff, but you're
going to have to deal with theChiefs.
Oh my gosh, oh, I can't standthat man.
Oh, so annoying.
Don't have to hear any of that.
Yeah, shout out to us, man,shout out to us.
That's right, do better nexttime, diego.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Do better, I will, we'll see Great ones never lose
twice Okay.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
You know what we were saying?
This?
That's right, bri, we weresaying this before Now.
Yeah, diego, you started off3-0.
But we think you're like anall-time great field goal kicker
.
Okay, you know, just like MikeVanderjagt those of you that
remember him from the Patriotsso all-time great, all-time
great.
And then you miss that firstreally clutch field goal and

(23:55):
everybody's surprised and thenthey just nosedive from there
and they're never the same.
You know, I think I'm kind ofseeing some similarities with
that.
You might be Mike Vanderjagt,you know, you might be Tucker
Justin Tucker-esque.
You might be.
I'm seeing a little Tucker inyou.
Yeah, might be a little bit ofthat.

(24:16):
A little bit of that.
You're very AFC, north-ishDeshaun.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
Watson.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
Might be, we'll see.
Oh gosh, all right, oh gosh,all right.
You got anything else to say?

Speaker 3 (24:38):
you know, if we're gonna talk about a concert where
a guy went a minor, so that'sgonna be, that's gonna be great
oh yeah, all right great segue,guys.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
Great segue, yeah.
So we're gonna talk about thehalftime show next, so we'll go
into that.
But, brie, we will bring youback as we give our super bowl
60 predictions.
So we can't wait to get intothat and hear that.
Uh, just uh, you know, sneakpeek, the logo happens to be the
carolina panther colors.
Um, you know, it depends onwhat glasses you're wearing.

(25:10):
We say Bree is the CarolinaPanther colors, other people
might say it's the Detroit Lioncolors.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
It just depends on how you look at it.
If you look closely, it'sPanther.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
We'll get to that at the very end, okay, alright.
Thanks, bree.
Yeah, alright, alright, we'llAll right.

Multiple services, yeah, yeah,multiple services.
Diego's still tripping on beingcompared to Justin Tucker.
That's all right, man.
Okay, all right.

(26:24):
So let's get to the halftimeshow, all right?

Speaker 2 (26:31):
So.
So, let's get to the halftimeshow, all right.
So, uh, diego man, did you?
Did you love it or did you hateit?
Uh, I thought it was mid atbest, yeah, yeah, I didn't
really like it that much.
Like, I just don't thinkkendrick's that great of a
performer, you know?
Uh, yeah, I just don't thinkhe's that great of a performer.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Okay okay, all right, what about?

Speaker 2 (26:46):
Still riding the Drake stuff.
Yes, still on that for a while.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
It has been a while and you know the crowd.
We didn't really see the crowd.
It came off more like a musicvideo.
So it came off like an amazingmusic video.
But as far as Super Bowlhalftime performance, you know
it was different and unique anda lot of people loved it.
A lot of people loved it.
A lot of people hated it.
So it has sparked a lot ofcontroversy.
C-pain, what's your take?

(27:13):
Did you love it or did you hateit?

Speaker 3 (27:14):
Well, I got the opposite.
Take of Diego man.
I loved it.
As a person who's been a fan ofhim for like 10 years, kind of
just seeing him reach this pointhas been crazy.
But I think that, like justkind of the performance itself,
I feel like lended better fortelevision, like as you said
then, like as like a halftimeshow for the crowd.
But again there was certainmoments that keyed in and just

(27:37):
kind of seeing the whole greatamerican game idea kind of being
like a thing being like again adouble entendre for football
and then you know just kind ofhow we currently are set up.
It's kind of interesting.
I think that even still,despite that, like he could have
performed more songs from hiscatalog that I personally

(27:58):
enjoyed but you know, some stufffrom the newer album did still
go off and then Not Like Us wasstill a crazy moment Seeing all
these companies kind of repostthe performance.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
I was like oh this is a little little little
different yeah, you know it wasa, it was a great show.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
You know great, great memes, great great things came
from it, so I enjoyed it okayall right so yeah, I, I, you
know I, I get that, I get thepeople that loved it.
You know there were a lot ofhidden messages and all of that.
It wasn't.
I wanted to be more hype.
You know Super Bowl, so Iwanted to see more of that.

(28:35):
The part that I got excitedabout was the last song when he
had, you know, turn your TV off,turn the TV off.
I got hype for that, but thatwas the very end.
You know what I mean.
So I wish he would have comeout to that song.
I think that would have set abetter tone for at least me
being older and expecting thattype of performance.
But you know that's just me.
But what would you say were thesignificant moments from the

(29:02):
performance?
We'll kind of give you the fullfor this, the main significant.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
Well, I'm going to do three main significant moments.
First, samuel L Jackson asUncle Sam main significant.
Well, the I'm gonna do threemain significant moments.
First, samuel l jackson asuncle sam.
Um one that's a reference to,to the butterfly and like how
uncle sam is kind of likeguiding kendrick through like oh
, this is like what you need tobe, to exist and be a successful
rapper.
Like you can't be too loud, tooobnoxious to get out.
You can't be any of that.
So you kind of gotta you knowfit and just try to play the

(29:28):
game in order to win.
Then you got kendrick in thewhen he was on the corner and it
was the song, me at the gardenand there was all the guys like
with grills and you know dancing, doing like hyphy dances with
that.
That's a reference to all ofhis friends that were lost, that
had passed away.
There was 16 people and in thesong, in the first song he talks
about I lost 16 friends, sothose were like representative

(29:51):
of that.
So I thought that was like abeautiful thing.
And then the last part was kindof the performance of not like
us and kind of how he teased itthroughout the whole performance
and I kind of was like there'sno way he's gonna do it.
And then, like he did it and Iwas just kind of like in shock
and just kind of seeing like howgreat, how much the crowd

(30:11):
reacted to that song.
That was very key.
But again I feel like becausewith Kendrick, like he was
performing like deep cuts fromthe catalog that a bunch of
people knew that was kind ofthat was kind of a little little
difficult for people to get.
But again I enjoyed it.
I enjoyed it.
What's happening?
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Oh, I'm sorry I fell asleep.
I'm sorry, just like I did atthe halftime show.
My bad, my bad, yeah, okay.

Speaker 4 (30:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was good.
You know, like I said, it wasgood, I get it.
It's just that's not the timewhere I really want to be.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
I want to be hiding.
Yeah, yeah, halftimeftime.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
We already were having a snooze fest for the
whole game.
Let's have some thinking powerhere let's at least have
something to think about, notthe fact that the Eagles are
getting taken to the woodshed.
Let's actually enjoy it.
Let's enjoy some.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
MTS here.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
Let's enjoy great visuals, so okay bonusTs here.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
Let's enjoy great visuals.
So okay, bonus question herehow long does Kendrick continue
with the, you know, just kind ofriding the whole train of going
at Drake?
Was it game?
Because he said game over thatwas another message, you know
with the game over at the end.
So was it truly game over or ishe going to continue to ride

(31:38):
this to prominence even more?

Speaker 3 (31:40):
I mean, I think the dude has won like 23 and me so,
and like a bunch of a bunch ofother awards.
So I'm like, eh, was he reallyriding a wave or was he just
doing what he's been talkingabout doing for, like you know,
12 years?
I feel like, you know, with thewhole beef, it was just a
culmination of them kind of justjabbing at each other for the
years, and so they finally threwthe gloves down.
And again people like to actlike Drake didn't milk the stuff

(32:04):
with Meek Mill like, and justhad like a whole performance
where he was like showing memesand like kind of dissing him on
a big stage.
And now that Kendrick's doingit everywhere, it's like, oh,
it's too much now.
And I was like, hey, you know,you gotta gotta do what you
gotta do.
Now again, drake did drop aproject last night that I
enjoyed.
A bunch of people who said that, oh no, it's terrible.
He needs to go back to stopdropping terrible music.

(32:26):
I'm like let's stop beingdisingenuous.
That that's the one hope.
I hope that once this beef hasdied down, once everything's
died down, it would just stopwith disingenuousness so yeah,
yeah, okay, okay.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
So what would you say ?
Where would you rank this withthe top performances of?
Uh, oh, no, you know what?
Actually, let me go to themissed songs.
What?
What songs did he miss?
Oh, that he should have, shouldhave hit easily.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
All right should have .
If we're going for a fullamerican flag thing, you gotta,
you gotta do all right like that.
Just that's just easily on thenose, easily, easily on the nose
.
I thought that should have beenone and again.
It's one of his bigger songsthat a bunch of people know, so
why not do that one?
um, let's see me personally, Iwanted money trees like that's

(33:12):
my favorite kendrick song of alltime that is my favorite like I
think that that performance andif he brought out because I
thought the surprise guest wouldhave been like Black Hippie and
, like you know, Schoolboy Q,J-Rock and Abso I thought like
they would have done like one oftheir songs together.
But because that didn't happen,I was like, oh okay, but I
think that Money Treesdefinitely would have definitely
set the crowd off and it wouldhave been a great performance.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
But all right, Money Trees were mine too.
That shit was wonderful.
All right, money Trees.
What about you, diego?

Speaker 2 (33:39):
I like Mad City.

Speaker 4 (33:40):
Ooh.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
I really like that song.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
That would have been great.
That would have been great too.
Yeah, I forgot about that.
Okay, okay, all right, allright, I worried about being
hype.
That I wish you would have doneDon't Kill my Vibe.
Oh yeah, you know what I mean.
So that's a shout out to my dad, shout out to Pop.
That's one of his favoritesongs.
It's Don't Kill my Vibe.
He loves that song.
So it's so funny.

(34:11):
Because they didn't know which.
Again, a lot of people didn'tknow who Kendrick Lamar was.
So my mom was like who is thisentertainer that's performing at
Iron Ransom?
You know, explain.
And my dad didn't know.
And then we're like, oh wait,he's the one that did Don't Kill
my Vibe.
He's like, oh, he did Don'tKill my Vibe, and so he did that
.
So anyway.

Speaker 4 (34:26):
Yeah, man Funny, funny, funny, All right Cool.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
So where do you rank this with the performances of
the last 15 years or so?
We know you guys are stillyoung pups, babies, here.
Where do you rank this?

Speaker 3 (34:41):
I would say Beyonce's Super Bowl in 2013.
That's easily my number one,and then the one at Super Bowl
50 with Coldplay, Bruno Mars andBeyonce as well.
And then I also really like theLady Gaga one back during 28-3.
Sorry, Falcons fans, but yeah,that was great.
You know her jumping off thestadium.

(35:02):
That was crazy.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
Yes, yes, that's Lady Gaga.
So, Diego, we know how you feelabout the performance, but what
were some of the top Super Bowlperformances?
What would you say?
Are there any that stand out toyou?

Speaker 2 (35:18):
I like the LA one with Dr Dre and Eminem and Snoop
.
I like that one, yeah, I lovethat one.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
That was definitely for me, one of my favorites.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
Yeah, I think that's my favorite.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Yeah, that was definitely one of my favorites.
If you're going to go all-time,of course you got to go Michael
Jack.
Go michael jack, oh for sure.
Uh, you know just just the factthat he spent two minutes just
standing there still, so youknow, that's when you just
totally, totally made it.
You know, I, I would love to dothat for one of our king shows,
like sit there, let the chantgo for like two minutes before
we say anything.

(35:48):
Yeah, you know.
So we, we, we got to build ouraura up a little more.
And then, yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah, we got to get that Mike
Jack aura for sure.
The Prince, his performance,and then it rained Like come on
man.
That was ridiculous, man.
What else I'm forgetting?
There's one that I'm forgetting, I know, but yeah, there's been

(36:12):
some.
There's some amazing, amazingperformances.
So yeah, all right, cool, cool.
Well, yeah, let let us knowwhat some of your top Superbowl
performances are.
We'd love to know.
Let us know what you thinkabout this one.
You love it or hate it?
And if you have any questions,go ahead and put those in the
comments and we will hit, hitthose.
So, oh, baby Said Bruno.

(36:37):
Yeah, bruno Mars was great.
Yeah, bruno Mars.
I forgot about that one.
I actually most people hatedthis one.
I actually liked the Weeknds.

Speaker 3 (36:45):
Really, yeah, okay.
Well, I was a person who was avery big fan of the Weeknd.
There are certain songs where Iwas like, yeah, they're not
going to allow him to play anyof these.

Speaker 4 (36:54):
So it was like it was cool.
Yeah, they're not going toallow him to play Eddie in these
, so it was cool.

Speaker 3 (36:57):
But again, if you like the more pop version of the
Weeknd, not the guy who wascrazy in Toronto.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
Yeah, but there was that the Justin Timberlake one.
I heard a lot of people didn'tlike that.
I thought that one was prettygood.
So yeah, we've had everything.

Speaker 3 (37:15):
I remember people hating the Maroon 5 one though.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so it'll be interesting.
So I know this is growing legs,but who do you think will be
the performer next year?
Diego, anybody stands?

Speaker 2 (37:28):
out to you for next year.
It's hard to predict who'sgoing to be for next year.
Yeah, yeah, who's going to behere for next year?
Yeah, yeah, I don't really havean idea.
Anyone that comes in top of myhead Nobody.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
Yeah, I don't know I'm going to just do a funny one
.
The funniest one would be Drake.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
That would be.

Speaker 1 (37:42):
At this point, I would love that Might as well,
might as well, yeah.

Speaker 3 (37:48):
Let him get his leg back.
You know what I mean Him doingthe whole Big against the Super
Bowl thing.
And then you know Kendrickperforming at the Super Bowl,
that's kind of that would justkind of like just even the
playing field and let's see ifDrake has his relevancy back.
But you know he's still goingto be fine.
I don't think, you know, againcrazy moment at the Super Bowl.

(38:09):
But I don't think that's goingto stop what he's got going on.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
They should have Playboy Cardi up there there you
go.

Speaker 3 (38:17):
You thought, kendrick was back.
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 1 (38:23):
Now I tell you who was on the path.
Travis Scott was on the path tobe that.
It might have been another fiveyears or so, but basically,
since they're having more andmore hip-hop artists, he would
have been.
It's a little different now.
I that that happens, but he wason that, on that path yeah,
that was next year, but maybe,maybe sometime later I don't

(38:45):
know, yeah, I don't know how big, when I like travis I could see
snoop getting it.
by him doing like more of a solothing, I could see snoop
getting it.
I even saw something with thehighest odds and he, he had the
highest odds to get it for nextyear, especially with all the
big you know pumping him up forthe Olympics and everything, and

(39:07):
just you know he's beeneverywhere.
So I saw a lot with that.
I see a comment Megan TheeStallion.
You know, I can see that atsome point I think it might
still be a few years away, butif she continues to be as
popular as she is, I candefinitely see Megan.
Yeah, that's a good one.
Brandon, that's a very good one.

Speaker 3 (39:26):
I won't be bored to have time to perform this show.

Speaker 1 (39:28):
That's a good one.
But, yeah, all the greats havedone it, especially our longtime
greats have done it done.
Especially our long-time greatshave done it.
Janet jackson did it, you know,everybody did it.
So, yeah, yeah, a lot, allright.
Well, let's move on to the nextone.
Let's go here.
We got the uh, dallas cowboys.
We're going to go into thecoaching curse of the dallas
cowboys here.

(39:48):
Uh, so the cowboys man, they,they seem to.
You know, their coordinatorsseem to go on to greatness,
greatness.
So it's amazing that they don'tkeep any of these guys and they
don't go on to greatness forthe Cowboys, but they seem to
groom the next generation ofcoaches for everybody else.
You know Sean Payton, hall ofFame coach, or will be a Hall of
Fame coach.

(40:09):
He, you know, was right undertheir organization, went on to
the Saints.
Kellen Moore just won a SuperBowl, was the offensive
coordinator for them.
He's going on to the Cowboys.
Dan Campbell, defensivecoordinator.
Dan Quinn oh sorry, dan Quinn,same thing.
Dan Quinn took his team to theconference championship.

(40:32):
So they have a lot ofcoordinators.
Diego, what's your take on thisman?
Why are the Cowboys sending allthese coordinators to other
other teams to to greatness?

Speaker 2 (40:40):
all you got to do is just break free from the cowboys
, I guess, and just go on togreatness.
But uh, yeah, I don't know why.
Uh, I guess it's.
Yeah, I really don't know why Iguess the cowboys jerry, just
making them bad decisions yes,yeah, I mean.

Speaker 3 (40:55):
Imagine having both of your coordinators two years
ago be in an NFC championship.
One won it and y'all haven'tbeen since.
Oh wait, I wasn't even born yetand I'm about to turn 23.
That's ridiculous, 23?
Yeah, I remember when I was 20.
I will call it a Jordan year.

(41:16):
Unfortunately, that is a trend.
So, yes, I will be conformingto the Michael Jordan thing one
time, just that one time.
But I do think that Dallas it'sjust they pick the wrong people
every time.
It doesn't make sense.
Mike McCarthy, while great,there's so many players who talk
so glowingly about Dan Quinn Imean, kellen Moore was running

(41:37):
out of talent because Dak justdidn't like him.
So I'm like I don't know.
I just hope that Dallaseventually figures out something
.
I don't know, but you got toget the coaching and coordinator
right so y'all can get pastwhatever hump that y'all had
since the 90s.
It's ridiculous at this point.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
Yeah, yeah, they got to.
Yeah, man, if Kelly Moore goeson to be like the next Sean
Payton there in New Orleans,that would be hilarious, that
would be a trip.
So, and I don't know, I justhave a funny feeling about it.
I really think he's going to goon.
We know that McCarthy ran himout of town but Dak had some

(42:17):
great years under Kellen Mooreand Jerry had Kellen Moore
pegged.
That's why he kept him on thatstaff.
And then McCarthy ran him outof town, but then he went to the
Chargers and only had like ayear there.
But now we see what thequarterback there is doing and
we see that, you know, he'sdefinitely had some issues.

(42:40):
So was that really Kellen Moore?
And then we see what he did inPhilly.
So, yeah, I have a feeling he'sgoing to go to the saints and
do well.

Speaker 3 (42:50):
Well, not too well, we got to we got to get to a
ball.
Come on, come on, come on,kelly Panthers, you can get down
to low miles.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
Come on okay.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
Panthers got a Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
Bryce Young oh yeah, that's right, we got a Super
Bowl to go to.

Speaker 1 (43:03):
Bryce Young.
Okay, alright, alright, youhear that Brie, that's right,
panthers, they're on their way.
Alright, cool, cool, well,let's.
Let's move on to the NBA.
Talk a little NBA action, man.
So, ooh, the power shift.
We're going to stay here on theNBA for a while.
We got a couple of topics.
We're going to talk about ADwith the Mavericks, we're going

(43:26):
to talk about Luka and theLakers and we're going to talk
about Jimmy Butler going to theWarriors.
So, diego AD we already talkedabout that trade overall, but AD
, right, ad, we already talkedabout that trade overall, but AD
, right on cue, got hurt thefirst game and then all the
reports were you know, yeah,street clothes were Don't worry
about it Minor injury, you knowhe'll.
He'll be back next game, youknow no problem.

(43:47):
But now it's month, now itlooks like it's going to be a
month, so what's your take onthat?

Speaker 2 (43:56):
And are the Mavs done ?
Yeah, sucks that AD went out soearly, but I don't think the
Mavs are done yet.
Out championship contention,yes, because that's going to
affect their seeding a littlebit, but they have been playing
well without him.
They beat the Celtics, theybeat the Warriors the new-look
Warriors with Jimmy.
They beat the Rockets, who areone of the top seeds.

(44:17):
They've won some games, hadsome big wins.
I just think that they do havea good, fitting team.
They're good on defense evenwithout AD.
Kyrie can come in there, playwell.
I don't think they're donequite yet, alright what's your
take?

Speaker 1 (44:36):
What's your take Dallas Hader?

Speaker 3 (44:38):
I'm not a Dallas Hader, I'm just saying I mean
highway robbery, I mean that'sLakers man.
I'm like hey, was it?
I mean we noticed we've listen.
Y'all have called that bitchfree clothes the entirety of the
show and we beat her before.

Speaker 1 (44:57):
Like you, yeah, I'm not, I'm not listen, I'm not
worried, y'all did just getblown out by the jazz but hey,
brony had a good game anyway,anyway, I'm just gonna.

Speaker 3 (45:12):
I don't know.
I'm not a Lakers fan, I'mfocused on the future.
And again, anthony Davis, evenduring that game, had a great,
great first three quarters, andthen you know the injury bug.

Speaker 2 (45:24):
It hit him.

Speaker 3 (45:26):
But again, I think, for our future I'm more focused
on that.
Like, as you guys know, I don'tthink we're going to win a
championship this year.
I think we're going to have agreat playoff run, but this year
I think we could have a greatplayoff run.
But championship is kind ofvery lofty for this lakers team
because again we have alex slantand jackson hayes as our
centers and with our luck, we'regonna play the nuggets again.
And um, yeah, yokich wasalready, you know, killing 80.

(45:49):
So what's what's gonna happenwhen, when the way, worse
versions of him are going to beguarding him.
So you know, yeah, we'll, we'llsee how the season goes.
But yeah, I don't know if we'regoing to be the Nuggets or OKC,
so we'll see.

Speaker 1 (46:03):
You know.
My only thing is, though if itwas such a highway robbery, if
it was such a heist, why arethey not winning the
championship this year?

Speaker 2 (46:12):
Yeah, exactly.
If it was such a robbery, whyare the Mavs a better team with?

Speaker 1 (46:16):
AD.
That's what I don't.
I can't understand.
Everybody says the Lakers moveis more oh well, right now they
might not be great, but for thefuture they will and the Mavs
are set to win right now.
But it was supposed to be arobbery and people couldn't
believe the trade was takingplace because it was the dumbest
trade in the world.
I don't understand that.

(46:36):
How do you execute the worsttrade in the world but before
the injury people think thatyou're a better team and might
win the championship.
I don't understand that.

Speaker 3 (46:45):
You got a better defensive player, you let Kyrie
just be Kyrie.
That wouldn't help them.
But I feel like for the Lakersit's all about figuring out the
fit and what pieces fit around.
Lebron and Luka, and I meanOscar Reeves, has been playing
well, but again I'm justweighing we're already having
10-2 in our last few games.
Again, that Jazz game waspitiful, I'm not going to

(47:06):
discount that, but again it'sall-star break.

Speaker 1 (47:11):
Let's see how everybody looks afterwards.
I'm doing the Diego math thatdon't count, I'm not going to
worry about that, I'm justsaying it don't count, I'm just
saying so that's the key that welost the way Bronny plays.

Speaker 2 (47:21):
Okay, alright, just remember what team you picked to
win the championship, bro.

Speaker 3 (47:25):
Let's just Anyway.
I think that we'll be okay.

Speaker 1 (47:33):
Alright, we're still on the Mavs here.
So, yeah, no, the Mavs are notdone.
The Mavs are still going to the.
I still have the Mavs winningthe championship this year.
I feel very strongly about theMavs.
This is only going to giveAnthony Davis time to rest and
he's going to go into theplayoffs just like he was that
bubble year.

(47:53):
It's going to be just like thebubble and yeah.

Speaker 3 (47:57):
so all they need is a 10th seed and Well, as a Lakers
fan who wanted the Lakers tohand the keys to AD after the
bubble run and we've seen howhe's played these past five
years alright, Thumbs up.

Speaker 2 (48:13):
For your sake, I hope .

Speaker 3 (48:13):
For your sake.
I hope for your sake.

Speaker 1 (48:15):
I hope yes well the thing aads.
He's playing with an all-starnow, so he's good yeah was that?

Speaker 3 (48:21):
was that all-star, not one of the greatest players
of all time?
Yeah, but he's like 40 yearsold, even before he was 40 and
we went to a western conferencefinals, we were still getting
carried by lebron becauseanthony davis decided every
other game to suck Like.
He decided to be like Hall ofFamer.
Now I'm terrible, hall of Famer, I'm terrible.
There literally was a day whereit was just like good bad, the

(48:41):
whole Grizzlies series good bad,good bad, good bad.
You can track it Like what arewe doing here, man?

Speaker 4 (48:55):
him to play the four where he's comfortable play for
play defense, kairi, he's gonnatake care of all that other
stuff yeah, yeah, we're good,we're good man, we're good.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
Yep, the.
The fans are gonna come backaround when they see this team
and winning.
And again they, even withouthim, without anybody, with about
five people on the roster, theyjust beat diego's warriors and
Hemi Jimmy.

Speaker 2 (49:12):
Yes, is that really necessary.

Speaker 4 (49:19):
I've already had enough.

Speaker 1 (49:23):
You're going to get this all night.
Yeah, we got another.
We got about another 10 minuteshere, all right, okay, well,
let's move on here.
Let's move to the Lakers andfully talk about them.
All right, let's move on here.
Let's move to the Lakers andfully talk about them.
Diego, how does Luka look?

Speaker 2 (49:39):
in Lala.
It's weird Still getting usedto seeing him in the jersey how
he's played.
He's been on a minutesrestriction.
He's only played about 23minutes per game in these last
two because he's still hurt.
That's why, Definitely stillhurt.
That's why, oh he's still hurt,definitely still hurt.
There's really no crazythoughts.

(49:59):
They did lose to Jazz.

Speaker 1 (50:05):
Yeah, they did lose to Jazz.
Can't let that happen.
Was it a road game?

Speaker 2 (50:10):
It was.

Speaker 1 (50:11):
That's a tough place to have the altitude and whatnot
?
They don't play well.
Altitude yeah, we know that.
All right, man, how?

Speaker 3 (50:21):
does it look in purple and gold okay, it is
gonna take some getting used tojust seeing him in the colors.
Literally while I was watchingthe game I was like this is so
cool, but again he's stillworking himself back from the
injury.
Hopefully the the All-Starbreak we'll see him return back
to his typical form.
But even still, you know, we'lljust see.
You know, I'm just happy we gothim.

(50:42):
But this one, you know, is abig consolation prize.
You know, if Lamar ain't goingto get it, I'm going to enjoy
mine, because I'm like, hey, youfeel me.
Hey, I'm just having it easier.
You feel me.
I'm like, oh, we got somebody Ican enjoy watching.
You know, my favorite playerretired.
We'll see.

Speaker 4 (51:01):
So who should take?

Speaker 2 (51:01):
over.
Diego, you should take overlike the keys of the team.
Yeah, I think Luke is going tohave to this year.
Yeah, this year it's going tobe hard it's just coming back
from the injury but I thinkthat's what they're going to
need to try and at least make arun.
Okay, All right.

Speaker 1 (51:19):
So, chris, this year, although you said there's no
way they're winning anythingthis year.
But who should take the keys?

Speaker 3 (51:30):
I think that Lucas should definitely take the keys.
Um, I think that for me, likelebron has always just wanted to
like kind of not not be in asmuch of a dominant role, because
again he is 40 and again hejust wants to like be able to
like is, let's just say, likeluca goes out, scores 30 and
lebron just gives you 20, butthen he gets like the 10 assists
and all the rebounds and stuff.
I think that that'll functionbetter for him.

(51:51):
Or, and also like in theminutes without LeBron and Luka,
those are going to be key forour team to figure out those
rotations.
Yeah, I would just say giveLuka the keys Again.
Let's see what happens.
Again, we have him.
So I'm just going to besurprised with whatever else
happens, because already this isjust shocking.

Speaker 1 (52:12):
How far do the Lakers go Diego?

Speaker 2 (52:14):
The Lakers.
I think they lose first round.
Ooh, I would predict.
That's what I would predict.
I would say their ceiling islosing in the second round.

Speaker 1 (52:25):
Wow yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:27):
Wow, okay, all right, I don't really like it, man.
Okay, chris, I would at leastsay second round was like okay.

Speaker 3 (52:33):
Chris, I was going to say like second round was, like
you know, I was agreeing withyou with the sealer being the
second round, but, like dang, wedon't even make it out the
first half yeah, no.
It's rough.
I at least thought losing tolike one of the bigger teams,
like an OKC or something.

(52:54):
I did not expect it.
Maybe you guys slide to play inand then face OKC, we ain't
going to be where y'allcurrently are.
At Come on, man.

Speaker 2 (53:05):
He's probably going to be on a minutes restriction
the whole rest of the yearbecause that calf hasn't been
right the whole year.
We'll see, you have to becareful with the calves.

Speaker 3 (53:14):
Kevin Durant, yeah, gotta be careful with those
calves.
We're going to stay there.
Oh yeah, never mind, we bettertalk about that.

Speaker 1 (53:21):
Yeah, we're going to go to them next man.
So hit me Jimmy, diego, hit meButler.
So your Warriors started offwell.
Then they hit the wall.
Were awful Fell, even out ofthe play-in.
I think they were like the 11thseed, and then they Past steps
in the past.
Then Jimmy Butler acted a fooland made his way over to the Bay

(53:41):
, so now is he the perfect fitfor the Warriors right now.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
Jimmy is the perfect fit.
We finally got a guy who can doit all, score mid-range in the
paint.
We got a paint beast as a wing.
He's big time, shows up in thebig moments, can facilitate,
play D, do all the stuff andwe've been playing really well
3-1 since we got him Only lostto Dallas.

(54:08):
I think he's the perfect fitand we will win a championship
with him in the next three years.
Win one, that's the perfect fitand we will win a championship
with him in the next three years.

Speaker 1 (54:15):
Oh, okay, next three years, because he's got so long
his contract.
Yeah, we'll win one.
You're gonna have to get somepieces, and I don't know how
you're gonna get those pieces,not this year, but maybe next
year.
Alright, y'all better tank orsomething like that we do not
need Cooper.
Flag.
Okay, alright.
What do you say, chris?
Is he the perfect fit, and howfar do the Warriors go?

Speaker 3 (54:35):
I mean he fits, they're still a playing team, so
we're going to see.
I think that you know for now,All right.
All right, let's see it, let'ssee it.
I hope that they you know, Iwant to see Steph, you know at
least like, try to make anotherrun, but try to make another run
.
But I think for them it mightbe.
You know, if they get a veryyoung, inexperienced team, I

(54:57):
would say that Steph and Jimmymight be able to turn up and
surprise somebody.
So I would say second-roundexit for them as well, if
everything breaks right, withJimmy, Vinny and Demesha and all
the other players finallyshowing up for them, because it
can't just be the Jimmy andSteph show.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
We can go toe toe with the Lakers right now.
Right head to head.
Ban for ban.

Speaker 3 (55:20):
M for M Alright Central City.
That's not happening.

Speaker 2 (55:28):
I'm not even entertaining Jimmy vs Luka,
lebron vs Steph.

Speaker 3 (55:35):
Who's been winning all those matchups with LeBron
vs Steph more recently?
Who has three championshipsagainst LeBron we're not even
gonna start this debate, that'sjust a fact.
Who had a nuclear warhead nextto him.
That's the whole thing for twoof them, one of the greatest
shooters of all time.

Speaker 2 (55:52):
Then he beat him without KD, though he beat him
without Katie.
He beat him about Katie.

Speaker 1 (55:59):
Well, I would say, though, now I actually want to
see the two teams play.
Before, it was a snooze festseeing the Lakers and the
Warriors play, and it felt likethe NBA was shoving that down
our throats, but now thatthey've got Jimmy Buckets and
now that Luka's on the team, Iactually want to see that game.
Yeah, that'll be fun, so I lookforward to seeing that.
All right, final topic, andwe're going to bring Bree back

(56:22):
on for this one.
Okay, before we end with ourBrandon Minute, yes, brandon's
going to close us out.
He's been in the back managingthe comments your favorite
Brandon and we're going to havethe Brandon Minute the comments
your favorite brand and we weregoing to have the brand in a
minute.
But before we do that, let'stalk about super bowl 60 and, uh
, give our take on this.
So, brie, won't you come onback and join us?

(56:43):
welcome, brie thank you allright, so we're gonna head.
We're gonna go ahead and talkabout super bowl 60, dive into
this right now.
Uh, diego was the one to callthis out that that logo is in
the carolina look at it likeit's it's the same color, that's
the exact same color.
I think you can say they're thelions colors.

(57:05):
I don't know if those are thecolors.
That's the exact color, yeahit's definitely the lions I hate
to break it to you, but not toomuch oh no, sorry, but we have
see the images that we've gotjosh allen, we've got lamar,
we've got hers.
We don't even have the chiefson here on this graphic, but
then we've got your boy.

(57:26):
Uh, we, we got your qb here,bryce qb1 all right, went from
qb2 to qb1 this year.
Yeah, all right.
So die who you got in the SuperBowl man who's facing off.

Speaker 2 (57:38):
Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm gonna go conservative.
I'm not going to put thePanthers in there, even though I
was considering it.
Ok, I'm gonna put the Bills inthere.
I think they're going tofinally get over the hump and
have them going against theLions.
I think they're going to restmore in the regular season.

Speaker 1 (57:54):
get in healthy, that's the Super Bowl we all
wanted.

Speaker 2 (57:56):
Yeah, get them.
They're going to get healthyand get in the Super Bowl.
I think the Lions are going towin it oh okay.
Next year is going to be theiryear.

Speaker 1 (58:03):
Okay, detroit Lions.
All right, okay, diego's onrecord with the Lions.
Got the B, the Lions.
What about you, cpay?

Speaker 3 (58:17):
I have Let me stick with my guy one last time.

Speaker 4 (58:21):
See, couldn't do it, couldn't do it.

Speaker 3 (58:24):
Listen.
Levar for MVP no, not for MVPSuper.

Speaker 2 (58:28):
Bowl.

Speaker 3 (58:28):
MVP Keywords Super Bowl MVP and we'll have LeVar
Jackson's name on it.
The Ravens will break through.
This year has to.
Honestly, it has to be thisyear.
Listen, guys, I don't know whatI'd do with the Ravens.
I'm so serious it's getting sadat this point, but I do think,

(58:49):
listen, they've taken theirlumps at this point.
Lamar's got to break throughsomehow and I feel like next
year, if he's on the true paytonmanning arc to tom brady's main
manning.
You know, payton started offthree and five couldn't win.
The big one was constantlydoubted.
We're on.
We're on year eight now.
So, yeah, you're eight.
Oh god this, but we haven't wona Super Bowl in our franchise's

(59:17):
history.
We're talking about eight years.
We're not talking about thePanthers.
We're talking about Lamar.
Okay, okay, man, I'm justhoping, man, it's year eight,
let's see it, let's see it so.

Speaker 1 (59:28):
So the Ravens, I have the Ravens and the Lions and
the Lions.
Okay, ravens and the Lions.
Okay, you both have a Lion anda close one and a close one, but
you've got Lamar winning theSuper.

Speaker 3 (59:39):
Bowl.

Speaker 1 (59:39):
Ooh.

Speaker 5 (59:40):
Okay, ravens, all right.

Speaker 1 (59:42):
Okay, yeah.
So I'm sure a lot of peoplewill be revisiting my post.
That's on IG, that's gone viral.
It will have a lot to say if,if the ravens win it with
harbaugh okay, all right.

Speaker 5 (59:55):
So, brie, who you, who you got, so obviously, oh
man, yes but you know the logotheory, all the colors, I that
it's like a rainbow on there, itcould be like the Titans, it

(01:00:16):
could be the Lions, it could bethe Bills, it could be the
Panthers, but those aren'treally likely as the Lions and
the Bills, obviously, sorry,diego.
So with that, definitely theLions, and this actually might
surprise a lot of people whatI'm going to say.
When I look at the logo, I seepink might be purple a little

(01:00:36):
bit, I don't know, but I also.
I also, when I zoom into like atree I don't know why, I think
it's just my brain predicting itby itself I see a number eight
hidden in the in a tree.
You know who's number eightlamar jackson.
So I think I think it's gonna be, yeah, if you zoom in on a tree
, you can see like an eight, orI'm seeing things and I'm just
projecting it, but I think it'sgoing to be.
Yeah, if you zoom in on a tree,you can see like an eight, or
I'm seeing things and I'm justprojecting it.

(01:00:56):
But I think it's going to bethe Ravens versus Lions, but I
think the Lions are going to winthat one.

Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
Okay, all right.
Yeah, so Bree, cpay, y'all havethe same matchup but different
outcome.
Yeah, I wasn't going to.

Speaker 5 (01:01:10):
I don't't know.
I just feel like that's whatit's gonna be.
I don't think the lot.
No, not the Lions.
I don't think the Bills aregonna be able to get over it for
at least another two yearsprobably which is really sad to
say, because I like the Bills,you know.
But at the end of the day, theLions, they're gonna get over
their injuries and I think thatthey're gonna go out and they're
gonna play um.
The Ravens and the Lions aregonna win okay, okay, I like

(01:01:33):
that, I like that.

Speaker 1 (01:01:33):
Yeah, okay, yeah, we'd love to see the Lions.
So, bri, you have the Lions,diego, you have the Lions, so
we'd love to see that.
Oh man, so AFC, I would love tosee the Bengals Been on the
Bengals for a while, would loveto see them get there, but
they'd have to make a lot ofdefensive moves and I just don't

(01:01:57):
think they can make enoughdefensive moves to get there.
So I don't see that, although Ithink Burrow is that guy.
So I personally think Burrow'sthe best quarterback in the NFL,
but that's a whole notherconversation.
So I'm going to go ahead and gowith the Kansasansas city
chiefs.

(01:02:18):
Get back to the super bowl,which I know none of us want to
see.
I don't even want to see that Idon't see, so I I hope I'm
wrong about that.
And, for the nfc, I'm gonna gowith the ph Philadelphia Eagles
and I think we're going to havea rematch and the ratings are
going to tank and, as far aswinning it, I'm going to go with

(01:02:42):
the Eagles.
I think the Eagles are going torepeat and it's going to be the
start of a dynasty, just likeSaquon said, that's what I'm
going with.
All right, so I'm going to wearmine and then I will be two.
I have two wins in a row.
I have my Philly gear again.
They are my hot ticket.

(01:03:03):
Again, I beat all of y'all downin a championship game with the
Eagles.
I saw that one coming.
And then, of course, the SuperBowl was easy money and I'm'm
just gonna keep riding that tothis, uh, this, this hot streak
that I'm on right now.

Speaker 2 (01:03:15):
I'm sizzling I'm gonna ride that one, one man,
all right, cool well, we uh havehit our time, brie.

Speaker 1 (01:03:29):
We can't wait to announce uh, some of these
interviews that we have, butthey have been fire, so y'all do
not want to miss this.
Bree, our correspondent, ismaking all types of connections
behind the scenes, and soon theworld will see all these amazing
interviews.
So thank you for everything,bree.

Speaker 5 (01:03:46):
Thank you so much for having me.

Speaker 1 (01:03:47):
All right, we'll see you soon, all right?
So that is Bree, okay, man.
Well, we're're gonna end with,uh, brandon and brandon's minute
.
So here, let me.
We got a clock here.
We're gonna pull this off.
This is the new feature man.
We're always enhancing thingshere at pick'em pros.
So we got our clock, man, andbrandon is gonna talk.

(01:04:11):
I think he's gonna talk allstargame, but he either, when he
comes on here, he's either goingto tell us something that I
said amazing, or he's going totell us something that Diego or
Chris had wrong, or he's goingto just bring something else in.
So we're going to let himfreestyle here.
It is the Brandon minute.
What's up, brandon?

Speaker 4 (01:04:31):
What's going on everybody?

Speaker 1 (01:04:32):
All right, all right, man.
So, hey, man, go ahead and fireaway.
Man, it's the Brandon Minute,what you got for us, okay?

Speaker 4 (01:04:40):
so All-Star Weekend, pretty much like it's the
biggest weekend of the NBAseason.

Speaker 1 (01:04:47):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (01:04:52):
It's a unique new format, by the way.
Still got to get used to it,but I got to see how I play out
first before I can get like anactual doll process on.
So there's that.
Then for is the whole superbowl thing.
Um, I am a conspiracy theoristlike.
I do see a lot of.
It's a lot of like differentcolors, so it's like it could

(01:05:15):
mean anything.
It could mean like the Dolphins.
Potentially I don't know, itcould be the Niners, because I
see a bay in the back area, theGolden Gate Bridge.
So it could mean a lot ofthings.
I mean, obviously after theLions and the Bills and the
Super Bowl.
So it can be a lot of things.
I mean obviously at the Lionsand the Bills and the Super Bowl
.
I think we deserve two newteams in any sports, so that's

(01:05:40):
my goal All right, I love it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:44):
I love it.
All right, that's the clock,man.

Real quick but that's the thingwith the dunk contest.
