Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's nice Eyes.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Boston's news Radio.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
All Right, we have talked about the mass General Brigham layoffs. Well,
I'm sure be following up on that story as the
week goes on. It's a lead story in all the
local newscasts at eleven o'clock as well, and as well
as should be. But I'd like to spend a little
bit of time reviewing the super Bowl super Bowl last night.
(00:28):
It wasn't a super game. It was kind of over
by halftime, actually, and for those of you who are
football purists looking for a great, you know, mighty super
Bowl match, didn't quite work out that way. But I'd
love to find out what you thought about not only
the super Bowl, but all the surroundings of the Super Bowl. Obviously,
(00:52):
we here in New England, most of us were probably
rooting for the Eagles so that the Kansas City Chiefs
would not surp ass or supplant the Belichick Brady era Patriots.
Love to know what you thought about the game. Were
you surprised that, I mean, Kansas City just didn't have
it for the first three quarters. They got what you
(01:13):
call some garbage points at the end of the game,
which you know, I think happened because basically the Eagles
knew the game was over. But I'd love to know
your reaction to all the TV ads, which were millions
of dollars. I had a positive reaction, only to like
a couple of them. I mean, you know, I guess
(01:34):
they all apply, you know, you know, appealed to different groups.
I liked the Duncans ad with Matt Damon and David Beckham.
I thought it was clever. I can't imagine what it
must have cost them to produce that ad. I liked
(01:57):
the Billy Crystal Meg Ryan ad about you know, sort
of a takeoff of the Harry met Sally movie. But
there were there were others that were interesting, but I
just ya, I'm happy to see them because it's it's
(02:18):
funny to watch. The one I liked the best was
the Budweiser ad. To be honest with you, the idea
that the Budweiser Clydesdale's It was kind of a little
bit of a takeoff on the Clydesdale ad that we've
talked about in the past, where in the wake of
two thousand and one, the wake of what happened at
(02:41):
the Twin Towers, they had basically the the Clydesdale's kind
of acknowledging the Twin Towers. But yeah, I just would
love to know which. And of course the halftime show.
I mean, I didn't watch the halftime show because I
was in friends that from where I watched the first
(03:02):
half of the game, I felt the game was over
and decided to get home before the postgame traffic there
was there were there were no cars in the road
at halftime. But I'd love to know what you thought
about that program. It was kind of interesting, to say
(03:25):
the least, not my particular form of entertainment, but I'd
love to know if there were people out there who
really I mean, it was an extravaganza. The one thing
which I want to make clear is that the protester
who showed up, I guess with the Palestinian flag onto
the field he had He was not involved. There was
(03:47):
some initial reports, I think earlier today that he might
have been part of the ensemble. Not at all. No,
the halftime shows have just become, to my way of
thy making a huge distraction. I mean, the purpose of
the Super Bowl is the football, and they have to
(04:08):
have a halftime show. I get it, but is that
the best we could do I know that Over the years,
I should have gotten a list of all Yeah, I
might do that during the break, come up with a
list of the halftime performers. Over the years, it's probably
(04:29):
gone from Perry Como on the Up with People in
the nineteen sixties, or maybe a high school marching band
to the Extravaganza last night, and it was Kendrick Lamar
and Extravaganza. Very talented guy. I got to tell you,
I wish they had had captions so I could understand
what was the words. I mean, it was tough. Maybe
(04:54):
they weren't allowed to put the captions on. Maybe they
were words that we used that none of us heard
that shouldn't be on. I don't know. I don't know.
It didn't appeal to me, so I'd love to get
your take on it. Did you watch it? I missed
a halftime show and it just so happened that when
it was twenty four zip at halftime, I felt the
(05:15):
game was over. The question then, was wasn't even I mean,
clearly at that point the Eagles were going to cover.
They were one and a half point underdog. I think
in most of the books they weren't going to lose.
They weren't going to blow a twenty four nothing lead
in the Super Bowl. They weren't the Atlanta Falcons. Trust
me on that. They were a pretty good football team.
(05:37):
I thought from watching the first couple of plays. As
a matter of fact, it just seemed to me that
Philadelphia was quicker off the ball. They seemed to want
it more. Now, I know it's tough to tell from
the first two plays of a game, but it really
struck me that Kansas City was in trouble. I've never
seen Mahomes that ineffective his passes. You know, interceptions happened,
(06:01):
but there were more passes from Mahomes that were the
equivalent of a fifty five hour fifty five mile an
hour fastball in baseball. You know, you're not even close.
The pitch goes fifty five miles an hour, fifty five
feet I should say, fifty five feet, bounces five feet
in front of the plate, and in most cases kids
(06:23):
by the catcher for a while. Pitcher of pass ball.
So yeah, let's just talk Super Bowl. No, it's I
think that by tomorrow night we will have forgotten about it.
But it was was a lousy game. I mean, it
was a fun game to watch because the Chiefs were
losing from our perspective, I think from New England's collective perspective.
(06:44):
But it wasn't great football. You know, you figured that
Barkley was going to run up some numbers. He didn't.
They relied upon well, by the way, Hurtz through two
or three, well, a couple of touchdown passes that were unbelievable.
Talk about out you know, throwing you know, half court
sinking a shot from half court in uh in basketball
(07:08):
not pretty tough to do, but he was. He was
in the equivalent of sinking half court shots a couple
of those long passes.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
He was.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I mean, Hurts was the MVP of the game. There's
no question about that. Six one seven, Those lines are full.
Six one seven, nine, ten thirty. We're going to go
right to phone calls and love to hear from you
and those of you who have never called before. Is
there anyone out there who looked at that halftime show
and said this is exactly the sort of entertainment that
(07:40):
Middle America wanted. I don't know, I don't know. It
gets weirder and weirder every year.
Speaker 5 (07:46):

(13:09):
of changed. Tim is in winter. Tim, welcome back, Welcome,
How are you sir?
Speaker 2 (13:13):
All right? I picked the right winner, but I didn't
have the I was right about Kansas City with their
offense because the offensive linemen we were terrible. The two
guys got hurt and they rolled and they got problems
Kansas City. Anyways, the best Super Bowl I've ever seen
was a tie between the Patriots and Seattle. But I
(13:34):
got to give it to the Atlanta one with the
Patriots the way Brady came back.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Yeah, but let's talk about yesterday. What'd you think about yesterday?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Oh, it's terrible, terrible, too much of the wrap. It
doesn't relate to the country. It's a little to the left.
And that bothers me, you know what I mean. That
bothers a lot of people. I didn't bother Washington because
I was playing Keno at a place and were sitting
down and I was over there. We were watching him podcast.
(14:05):
I did a podcast, and the guy had a podcast
describing the game, and that was the best way to
listen to the game because he give you breaks, he
tell you what's going on. There's no commercials. It was
really good, all right, all.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Right, Well that's different. That's that's sure.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
But what do you think about I think the best
one was the Atlanta one, the best most entertaining one,
the way Brady came back.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Never sure, you're a Patriots fan. They were down twenty
eight to three too.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
No, I'm a Dolphins fan. I'm a Dolphins fan. I
go way back, remember the pages one and fifteen, two
or fourteen. I remained a Dolphins fan, but I like
the Patriots also, I respect Brady.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
What was your favorite commercial yesterday? I'm trying to watch yesterday.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
There's no commercials on YouTube. I missed them all, thank goodness.
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Well, go watch the one with Matt Damon and David Beckham.
That's that's a pretty good Stello law. That was pretty clever,
I thought.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
But I did go to the other one. The one
time I wrote against the Patriots was in seven. I
didn't want to see him get the Dolphins perfect record,
and I was there was mixed bag. I was rooting
farm and not because I went to Super Bowl seven
in the Coliseum and I went to the one with
a Patriot. I went to the there was a Redskins.
They had a fourteen to zhering lead and then your
(15:19):
premium throws an interception for a touchdown, and then they
made it interesting and he.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Was the puncher who fumbled the snap from.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Center right right, yeah, yeah, yeah he should. But the
next year, believe it or not, the Dolphins went undefeated,
except they lost to the Patriots because the guy from
Walpole plowed the plow and that's it was like a
raging blizzard and nobody could do anything. It was horrible.
(15:48):
They never should play that game. But the Dolphins lost,
and Shuler put it on a protest. But then they
beat Minnesota twenty four to seven in a Rice stadium
in the Super Bowl. And then they went back to
back and they it.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Was a John Smith was the kicker on their Patriots
of that that day, if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Yeah yeah they were. They were pretty uh but that
was the only loss of dog.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
All right, Well, I'm gonna get people. You want to
talk about the old games, Tim, So I'm going to
try to see if we get some people talk about
tomorrow as well.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
Okay, that was a dog yesterday, say not tomorrow yesterday.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Thanks Tim, appreciate your call. Six one, seven, two, five, four, ten,
thirty only line open, Dot, what'd you think of the game?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Hi?
Speaker 6 (16:28):
Dan? First of all, Helen o'cononell was a big band siga.
She was a beautiful blonde with dimples, very cute, and
she was a good siga.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Yeah yeah, okay, well I had forgotten that.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
But well, you're too young. You're too young. You're too young, Danes.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
I'm just a kid just to do it. So what
do you think about what'd you think about yesterday?
Speaker 6 (16:52):
Well, I'll tell you. I watched it from the beginning
to the end, and I watched it with a group
of people in the first half and halfway through the
first half, and I could be a realistic cynic. And
(17:13):
I was a realistic cynic because halfway through.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
I thought you were catholic? Dot.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
No, no, I'm not catholic. No, no, no, all right, anyway, Dan,
halfway through the first half, which would be the end
of the first quarter, it dawned on me the fix
was in, really, And that's how I felt when I
(17:42):
watched my favorite team, the Cases not even doing anything.
They didn't do anything. I thought, what what's the matter
with you? People? I was watching it, and I was
watching it with a few guys from my building, and
then halfway through I came up to see yours and
watched it up here. But I'll tell you the fix
(18:05):
was in. They're gonna all walk away with big porsches.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Now.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
I'm sorry. It was atrocious.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
So you think so dot as a keen observer of football, Yeah,
I felt, you know, for a while they were saying
the rest were favoring the Chiefs.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
I love the Chiefs. I love the Chiefs.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
That's the way love.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
How long? Why have you loved the Chiefs for?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Is this because I like?
Speaker 6 (18:33):
I like Mahone?
Speaker 3 (18:34):
So who would you like before Mahones? You don't tell
me you like? Did you like Lynn Dawson? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (18:40):
But I mean Mahone I just think is great. But
I don't know what they all happened yesterday, But I
do know the fix was in. That's it, right, and
that's how And isn't that a cynical way to feel.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
It's a very cynical way to feel. Yeah, I would
disagree with you. I just think they had an off day.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
I think no, no, no, no, no, no, it was
no watch day, No no, it was a fix, all right?
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Fair enough?
Speaker 6 (19:08):
Dying to see if anybody agrees with me.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Guess what, I will bet you there'll be at least
one person out there will agree with you, but most
people won't see it that way. Most people.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
I'd love to know what Glenn thinks. I'd love to
know what Glenn would Glen's already so I know he's
a great guy. He's I could be his mother, but
he's a great guy. I love to listen to Glenn.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
A mutual admiration society there for sure. Dodd is always
thank you so much, talk take it easy. So the
dot says the fix was in. I don't buy that.
I don't buy that. Let me go next to no.
I'm not going to short change billing det him Uh, Bill,
you will be first up right after the news. We
(19:52):
got to get to the news right now, coming on
back only one line six, one, seven, four, ten thirty.
Your reaction to any part of the Super Bowl extrava
Gansey yesterday. Love to know if you found there was
a great add or an ad you thought was horrible.
How much does it cost to put an ad in
a Super Bowl and it doesn't pay actually? And how
much is the cost to produce the the ads? The
(20:12):
David Beckham that damon ad. I mean, these guys aren't
doing that for free. They're not giving away their time
for free. Six one, seven, four, ten thirty. That's the
one line that's open, just closed, just filled. All lines
are filled. Back on Nightside after this.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
It's night Side Boston's news radio.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
All right, let's keep rolling here. See what people have
to say. Bill is in den him. Hey, Bill, what
do you think about the Super Bowl yesterday? Was it super?
Speaker 4 (20:45):
It was super I think the best halftime show ever
was watching Bill Belichick and his new girlfriend parade around.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Was he at the game or was I know he
was in the Duncans ad.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
He was at the game?
Speaker 8 (21:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (21:00):
With that fundy is he's quite a guy.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Yeah, I mean pretty good coach.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
I guess he is. He's going around the fast. He's
good around the ten yardline, that's for sure.
Speaker 9 (21:21):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
What'd you think of the commercials? Any commercials that you
particularly liked or didn't like?
Speaker 4 (21:27):
I didn't watch the game, To be honest.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
With you, you're one of the Americans that didn't watch the game.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
What were you doing working?
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Come on? Really?
Speaker 7 (21:38):
Are you working on your door?
Speaker 3 (21:41):
What you do on a Sunday Sunday evening? Working I'm
not you don't get too I'm trying to get personal here,
but what sort of job retail? Retail? Okay, so so
you you didn't care less hope. I'm hoping you got
some overtime payers, at least some o you.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
So you missed it. I like Beick Belichick with that
new girlfriend. They put on quite a performance.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Okay. Well, the only thing I didn't I don't know
if Belichick was at the game. I don't. I didn't
see him at the game. I I I saw him
in the Duncan's commercial, but that was about it. I
didn't realize he was physically at the game. But yeah,
that's okay, all right, Bill, that's an interesting it's a
different perspective. You're the first person who called it didn't
watch the game? Okay, thanks, I think okay, I have
(22:31):
a great night. They got a little Bill Belichick fixation there.
Let me go to Robert in Wellesley. Robert, welcome, How
are you, sir?
Speaker 9 (22:41):
Oh fine?
Speaker 8 (22:43):
Thanks?
Speaker 9 (22:43):
Jan I I had a couple of comments and uh
and as far as the commercial, gull I, I agree
with you on the on the Beckham commercial, and that
was what I understood.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
I mean, it was it was kind of a little story.
I get it, but I understood it. And Beckham and
Damon they kind of played off each other pretty well.
I liked that one couple. Some of them you don't
even understand. I mean, you know, I didn't understand the
guy that was Did you see the one where the
kids riding a bicycle. He's like a newspaper delivery boy,
(23:18):
but he's riding a bicycle in Ireland and he's throwing
you know, you'd think he's throwing papers, but he's actually
throwing laptops. No, you saw that one write some some laptop.
Speaker 9 (23:33):
It was all mysterious.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
I guess squarespace. I had no clue what was going
on there, that's for sure.
Speaker 9 (23:39):
The one I missed that too.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Helman's Magazine, Helman's Mayonnaise with a Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan.
That was pretty You missed you to get a lot
of the ads. It's okay.
Speaker 9 (23:52):
I heard about it and I was looking forward to it,
but I missed it. But I think you want to say, yeah,
go ahead. One was the pregame show and I didn't
get to see the star Spangled banner in America America,
The Beautiful and Last Year was. I was on the
edge of my seat hoping that they were going to
(24:14):
show the American sign language, you know, at least in
a little box or something, signing of the of the
of the National Anthem and America the Beautiful, and they they,
they they the whatever network showed it. I don't know
if it was Fox then or not, but they introduced
they went to the trouble of introducing the signer of
the interpreter and then didn't show the interpretation, and that
(24:38):
that was kind of a leftdown for me. Did you
did you see the pregame show and did you notice
if they did sign the have you know, have the
signing of the National Anthem and America the Beautiful.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
I did see that. Yeah, I didn't want, I mean
to be honest with you. I was grabbing some food
at the time, and I wasn't sure exactly where we
were and all of that. But yeah, no, I wasn't
being disrespectful. I was in the other room. I knew
that they did have a signer or whatever, which they
I think they always have, don't you or no? I
mean I could, I could.
Speaker 9 (25:10):
I hope One thing I did see.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
I walked into the room and she was talking about,
you know, when the with the bombs bursting in air,
and I actually could figure out what she was doing
because she was throwing her hands up in the air
like bombs, which is pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
I yeah, yeah, that's great when it works out that way.
Speaker 9 (25:32):
And the other thing was that the halftime show kind
of I thought they could have had something with wider appeal.
And when I was talking with someone about it, the
person told me that he was of the opinion that, uh,
and it didn't seem right to me, but he was
of the opinion that the major that the performer paid
(25:53):
to perform rather than got paid to perform. Just have
you ever heard of anything that happened?
Speaker 3 (26:00):
No, I haven't heard that. No. No, I could be
you know, I stand to be corrected if someone wants
to correct me. But no, though they bring those folks
in and there's a huge I mean, he had like
a cast of hundreds behind him, the dancers and everything,
and he's highly respected rapper. I just don't I can't
get the words, you know. I mean, I wish they
(26:23):
had like closed caption, but maybe they couldn't put rap
lyrics in closed caption.
Speaker 9 (26:29):
Yeah, I felt I thought that.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Have you ever been let me ask you, have you
ever been at an event where they pass around a
song sheet, you know, a piece of paper with all
the songs written on him. I thought we all should
have song sheets so we could know what the heck
he was saying that song.
Speaker 9 (26:47):
On a small scale, nothing really baked, though sometimes that happens,
but not nothing really but nothing now, well, big events
that I can think of, No, I just did.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
But maybe I was thinking was maybe what they could
have said was, hey, you could download go to your
computer and you could print out his lyrics if you wanted.
Guy has to have a triple yeah to remember everything
he's saying. You know, people have trouble with the star
spangled banner. Half the time they screw it up. But right,
(27:19):
he must have spoke I don't know, fifteen thousand words
during his thirteen minute performance.
Speaker 9 (27:25):
He was he was a machine gun fire.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
You got it?
Speaker 8 (27:30):
You got that?
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Was like, Hey, Robert, thanks man, talk to you soon. Okay,
appreciate your call.
Speaker 9 (27:34):
Yep, thank you have a good one.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Let's keep rolling. You're going to go next to Patrick
in DC. I wonder if Patrick watched the game, Patrick,
how are you?
Speaker 10 (27:43):
We always have a super Bowl here every day here
in Washington, DC ever since the inauguration. I say, we
just keep on rolling.
Speaker 7 (27:49):
Don't we.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
I would agree with you and that there's always something
going on in DC. Did you get it? Were you?
You're a football guy, you know, I know you pretty well,
but I've never had you. If you would you watch
the game?
Speaker 10 (28:03):
No, I'll tell you why. I can't watch people who
make much more money than me. I'm broke, you know.
And then they're asking me to gamble what little money
I have, you know, me get on credit, Get me
on credit, to gamble my credit away. I would have
liked to watch the Super Bowl, I really would have.
But I think that it is the game itself. When
you're watching the television itself, it just gets too confusing,
(28:26):
with things running down to the bottom, of things running
in from the side. You have all these show to
go by you and you would really like to pay
attention to one thing. And I think that's what happens
with the halftime show here.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Now.
Speaker 10 (28:38):
They count on everybody just having this fraction of attention
spans yeah, and they just have all this stuff, you know,
right there, and you just catch They're looking to just
catch you with that fraction right there, and you just
can't appreciate it. I just I can't appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I think there's a lot of wisdom in what you say.
I mean, they look I'm not a rap guy. Okay,
I mean you might have figured that out already, But
I have a tough time picking up the lyrics of
any song, never mind the guy who's sitting there, you know,
(29:18):
going rip. I don't know.
Speaker 10 (29:19):
I mean, we have forgotten how to enunciate.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
I do know that, no kidding. I just wish. I
wish we had close caption. I don't know if they
could have, if it could have kept up with cold caption,
but close caption.
Speaker 7 (29:36):
It's very different.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
It's different from up with people.
Speaker 10 (29:39):
I know that, But I did hear we hit one
of our One of our fellow listeners called in and
mentioned the Redskins. Whoa we like Redskins? How about that?
Speaker 3 (29:50):
I didn't realize who that went by me? Did someone
mentioned they're supposed to say the Commanders? Oh? I missed that.
Speaker 10 (29:56):
Yes, because well, when the Redskins wanted to s Super Bowl,
they were the Redskins.
Speaker 7 (30:01):
What can we say?
Speaker 3 (30:02):
You know, back to the time of of of John Riggins, absolutely, you.
Speaker 10 (30:08):
Know so and then but it was an interesting program
tonight to talk about the unaffordable and lack of healthcare
act that is going on. And and I'm sure that
anybody who got injured during the super Bowl had immediate
medical attention, but that was a pretty bad seven hours
and a half. Told you're going to room the.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Room, seven hours, go to the emergency room. I would
I would relabel at the unemergency room at that point.
Speaker 10 (30:41):
Yeah, that's that's that's absolutely correct. And and uh and
our friend listen, I thought I had the night off tonight.
And our friend who got the closest score, who won
the mug, he was supposed to get a drum roll.
So I'm a little late. I'm a little late, you know.
But let's give that guy, you.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Know, his drum roll. I love that, Thank you very much, Patrick.
That is great, Robb. You should record that. That should
be the official nightside drum roll. Rob, we can.
Speaker 10 (31:12):
I'll get some toys of Robin and we'll send in
some drum rolls so he.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
Could have it.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Well, that would be great if you could do that. Yeah,
do me a favorite hold On. I gotta go to
break hold On and Rob will pick it up. Uh,
and maybe you can just send Rob the drum roll
and we will have the official drum roll directly from
Patrick in the District of Columbia. We'll always give you
credit for it.
Speaker 10 (31:31):
Okay, at no charge.
Speaker 7 (31:33):
At no charge, Thank you much much.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
All right, Patrick, hang in there. We're gonna take a break.
Patrick's gonna talk to Rob. You're gonna listen to a
commercial or two, and we get back. I'm going to
talk to Peter, Christine, Chris and Tim. I'm gonna get
all of you in and maybe one more. The only
line that will be open. It's not up right now,
but when Patrick gets off at six, one, seven nine.

was a wonderful experience, you know, the the game, even
though we weren't in it. S. I'm a diehard Patriots fan,
but I was thrilled that my friends from Philly uh
(32:52):
won the Super Bowl. And it was a great game.
I mean, you know, I mean the Chiefs never really
showed and you know until halfway through the game.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
They were horrible Mahomes. I mean, he misfired so many passes.
I mean, as I said, it was like fifty five
foot fastballs five ft before home plate. How'd you get
out of.
Speaker 7 (33:18):
When'd you fly back to that just to ride back night.
I'm just pulling into it. I'm pulling into my garage.

Speaker 7 (33:27):
It was you know, we were surrounded by Eagles fans
and they were just you know, I mean, it was
just it was great. If it couldn't be us, I
was thrilled it was them, and you know, New Orleans
was just wonderful.

Speaker 7 (34:11):
Really We're not the target audience anymore, Dan, I.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Don't think so. I don't think so.
Speaker 7 (34:16):
But it was done like a Hollywood production. I mean
it was you know, in the beginning of the show,
the woman did do sign language and she was on

It's an honor, sir.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Well, my pleasure, thank you very much. Pleasure to pleasure
is mine. So did you watch the game yesterday? You
got Top Peters call because he was there.
Speaker 8 (36:24):
Wow, I know he's done. Not worried. I don't need
to be a Topper I got. I got no reason
to compensate. I didn't watch the game because they you know,
I had no vested interest in it. And there's the
commercial breaks. The commercials are wonderful, they're funny, the pharmaceutical
commercials and stuff like that. Sometimes they get in there.
(36:45):
But I just had no vested interest because there was
no Patriots, and my old team's my favorite ones from
beforehead kids and and things like that. I got to
settle back into football when I'm ready for it. But
what I did do, my neighbor Joe was a big
fan of any football. His Steelers were not in the game,
but to get to him, and he kept asking me
(37:05):
if I come over to watch, and I didn't want to.
I said, well, one of the Bruins going to play
the Steelers in that soccer game tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (37:13):
I heard.
Speaker 8 (37:14):
I heard there's some kind of superb Owl we're supposed
to be on the lookout for. You know, just kind
of messing was so what I did the next day,
I thank you. Thank you. Today, I went on YouTube
and I looked up all the commercials, and then I
paid for premium YouTube, so I have to watch commercials
on that ironically watching commercials commercial free.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
What was what was the best commercial that you saw today?
I like the Matt Damon David Beckham commercial.
Speaker 8 (37:41):
Matt Damon was wonderful. There was also a bed Affleck
at Casey Affleck, but I might have been thrown in
from like a year last year or something. But then
the Matthew McConney was pretty funny too.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
He was very good. He always is. He's he's carried
that theme so well, yeah, he's.
Speaker 8 (37:56):
My wife's free pats. But if they ever meet. But
I still I hear you, Yester'd a good actor.
Speaker 5 (38:01):
You know.
Speaker 8 (38:01):
I have to handle to him. He's going to be
governor at Texas one day, I think, and that's gonna
be great.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
Way. You might be right, actually yeah, because he came
from Evolving, uh evolved down there the place where they
had that terrible school shooting.
Speaker 8 (38:15):
Hey you run down on unsolved mysteries was his cameo.
All right, I'll let you go.
Speaker 3 (38:23):

Let me go to Chris and Easton. Chris and we
get room for you and one more go ahead, Chris.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Hey, Dan uh felt much to do with football, but
the halftime show there, I guess Kendrick Lamar he's been
on an ongoing feud with another artist, Drake Drake, Yeah,
I guess there was a lot of There was a
lot of easter eggs between the conflict between the two.
He had Serena Williams dancing. I guess she had dated
(39:17):
Drake back in the day. And then the other females
singer I think her name is Sizza, had a relationship
with Drake going out.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
They're going out on tour. Yeah, they're going out on tours, understand. Yeah. Yeah.
It didn't do much for me.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
The lyrics, especially on that last song he played, Drake
was suing Kendrick lamar over it so a lot of
a lot of hidden Easter eggs, which was pretty controversial.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
I heard, so, I heard, Yeah, Chris, it didn't do
it for me. I I wish I had close caption.
