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

Speaker 3: of changed. Tim is in winter. Tim, welcome back, Welcome,
Speaker 3: How are you sir?
Speaker 2: All right? I picked the right winner, but I didn't
Speaker 2: have the I was right about Kansas City with their
Speaker 2: offense because the offensive linemen we were terrible. The two
Speaker 2: guys got hurt and they rolled and they got problems
Speaker 2: Kansas City. Anyways, the best Super Bowl I've ever seen
Speaker 2: was a tie between the Patriots and Seattle. But I
Speaker 2: got to give it to the Atlanta one with the
Speaker 2: Patriots the way Brady came back.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but let's talk about yesterday. What'd you think about yesterday?
Speaker 2: Oh, it's terrible, terrible, too much of the wrap. It
Speaker 2: doesn't relate to the country. It's a little to the left.
Speaker 2: And that bothers me, you know what I mean. That
Speaker 2: bothers a lot of people. I didn't bother Washington because
Speaker 2: I was playing Keno at a place and were sitting
Speaker 2: down and I was over there. We were watching him podcast.
Speaker 2: I did a podcast, and the guy had a podcast
Speaker 2: describing the game, and that was the best way to
Speaker 2: listen to the game because he give you breaks, he
Speaker 2: tell you what's going on. There's no commercials. It was
Speaker 2: really good, all right, all.
Speaker 3: Right, Well that's different. That's that's sure.
Speaker 2: But what do you think about I think the best
Speaker 2: one was the Atlanta one, the best most entertaining one,
Speaker 2: the way Brady came back.
Speaker 3: Never sure, you're a Patriots fan. They were down twenty
Speaker 3: eight to three too.
Speaker 2: No, I'm a Dolphins fan. I'm a Dolphins fan. I
Speaker 2: go way back, remember the pages one and fifteen, two
Speaker 2: or fourteen. I remained a Dolphins fan, but I like
Speaker 2: the Patriots also, I respect Brady.
Speaker 3: What was your favorite commercial yesterday? I'm trying to watch yesterday.
Speaker 2: There's no commercials on YouTube. I missed them all, thank goodness.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Well, go watch the one with Matt Damon and David Beckham.
Speaker 3: That's that's a pretty good Stello law. That was pretty clever,
Speaker 3: I thought.
Speaker 2: But I did go to the other one. The one
Speaker 2: time I wrote against the Patriots was in seven. I
Speaker 2: didn't want to see him get the Dolphins perfect record,
Speaker 2: and I was there was mixed bag. I was rooting
Speaker 2: farm and not because I went to Super Bowl seven
Speaker 2: in the Coliseum and I went to the one with
Speaker 2: a Patriot. I went to the there was a Redskins.
Speaker 2: They had a fourteen to zhering lead and then your
Speaker 2: premium throws an interception for a touchdown, and then they
Speaker 2: made it interesting and he.
Speaker 3: Was the puncher who fumbled the snap from.
Speaker 2: Center right right, yeah, yeah, yeah he should. But the
Speaker 2: next year, believe it or not, the Dolphins went undefeated,
Speaker 2: except they lost to the Patriots because the guy from
Speaker 2: Walpole plowed the plow and that's it was like a
Speaker 2: raging blizzard and nobody could do anything. It was horrible.
Speaker 2: They never should play that game. But the Dolphins lost,
Speaker 2: and Shuler put it on a protest. But then they
Speaker 2: beat Minnesota twenty four to seven in a Rice stadium
Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl. And then they went back to
Speaker 2: back and they it.
Speaker 3: Was a John Smith was the kicker on their Patriots
Speaker 3: of that that day, if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah they were. They were pretty uh but that
Speaker 2: was the only loss of dog.
Speaker 3: All right, Well, I'm gonna get people. You want to
Speaker 3: talk about the old games, Tim, So I'm going to
Speaker 3: try to see if we get some people talk about
Speaker 3: tomorrow as well.
Speaker 5: Okay, that was a dog yesterday, say not tomorrow yesterday.
Speaker 3: Thanks Tim, appreciate your call. Six one, seven, two, five, four, ten,
Speaker 3: thirty only line open, Dot, what'd you think of the game?
Speaker 2: Hi?
Speaker 6: Dan? First of all, Helen o'cononell was a big band siga.
Speaker 6: She was a beautiful blonde with dimples, very cute, and
Speaker 6: she was a good siga.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, okay, well I had forgotten that.
Speaker 6: But well, you're too young. You're too young. You're too young, Danes.
Speaker 3: I'm just a kid just to do it. So what
Speaker 3: do you think about what'd you think about yesterday?
Speaker 6: Well, I'll tell you. I watched it from the beginning
Speaker 6: to the end, and I watched it with a group
Speaker 6: of people in the first half and halfway through the
Speaker 6: first half, and I could be a realistic cynic. And
Speaker 6: I was a realistic cynic because halfway through.
Speaker 3: I thought you were catholic? Dot.
Speaker 6: No, no, I'm not catholic. No, no, no, all right, anyway, Dan,
Speaker 6: halfway through the first half, which would be the end
Speaker 6: of the first quarter, it dawned on me the fix
Speaker 6: was in, really, And that's how I felt when I
Speaker 6: watched my favorite team, the Cases not even doing anything.
Speaker 6: They didn't do anything. I thought, what what's the matter
Speaker 6: with you? People? I was watching it, and I was
Speaker 6: watching it with a few guys from my building, and
Speaker 6: then halfway through I came up to see yours and
Speaker 6: watched it up here. But I'll tell you the fix
Speaker 6: was in. They're gonna all walk away with big porsches.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 6: I'm sorry. It was atrocious.
Speaker 3: So you think so dot as a keen observer of football, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I felt, you know, for a while they were saying
Speaker 3: the rest were favoring the Chiefs.
Speaker 6: I love the Chiefs. I love the Chiefs.
Speaker 7: That's the way love.
Speaker 3: How long? Why have you loved the Chiefs for?
Speaker 2: Is this because I like?
Speaker 6: I like Mahone?
Speaker 3: So who would you like before Mahones? You don't tell
Speaker 3: me you like? Did you like Lynn Dawson? Yeah?
Speaker 6: But I mean Mahone I just think is great. But
Speaker 6: I don't know what they all happened yesterday, But I
Speaker 6: do know the fix was in. That's it, right, and
Speaker 6: that's how And isn't that a cynical way to feel.
Speaker 3: It's a very cynical way to feel. Yeah, I would
Speaker 3: disagree with you. I just think they had an off day.
Speaker 6: I think no, no, no, no, no, no, it was
Speaker 6: no watch day, No no, it was a fix, all right?
Speaker 3: Fair enough?
Speaker 6: Dying to see if anybody agrees with me.
Speaker 3: Guess what, I will bet you there'll be at least
Speaker 3: one person out there will agree with you, but most
Speaker 3: people won't see it that way. Most people.
Speaker 6: I'd love to know what Glenn thinks. I'd love to
Speaker 6: know what Glenn would Glen's already so I know he's
Speaker 6: a great guy. He's I could be his mother, but
Speaker 6: he's a great guy. I love to listen to Glenn.
Speaker 3: A mutual admiration society there for sure. Dodd is always
Speaker 3: thank you so much, talk take it easy. So the
Speaker 3: dot says the fix was in. I don't buy that.
Speaker 3: I don't buy that. Let me go next to no.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to short change billing det him Uh, Bill,
Speaker 3: you will be first up right after the news. We
Speaker 3: got to get to the news right now, coming on

Speaker 3: Your reaction to any part of the Super Bowl extrava
Speaker 3: Gansey yesterday. Love to know if you found there was
Speaker 3: a great add or an ad you thought was horrible.
Speaker 3: How much does it cost to put an ad in
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl and it doesn't pay actually? And how
Speaker 3: much is the cost to produce the the ads? The
Speaker 3: David Beckham that damon ad. I mean, these guys aren't
Speaker 3: doing that for free. They're not giving away their time
Speaker 3: for free. Six one, seven, four, ten thirty. That's the
Speaker 3: one line that's open, just closed, just filled. All lines
Speaker 3: are filled. Back on Nightside after this.
Speaker 5: It's night Side Boston's news radio.

Speaker 3: to say. Bill is in den him. Hey, Bill, what
Speaker 3: do you think about the Super Bowl yesterday? Was it super?
Speaker 4: It was super I think the best halftime show ever
Speaker 4: was watching Bill Belichick and his new girlfriend parade around.
Speaker 3: Was he at the game or was I know he
Speaker 3: was in the Duncans ad.
Speaker 4: He was at the game?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 4: With that fundy is he's quite a guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean pretty good coach.
Speaker 4: I guess he is. He's going around the fast. He's
Speaker 4: good around the ten yardline, that's for sure.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 3: What'd you think of the commercials? Any commercials that you
Speaker 3: particularly liked or didn't like?
Speaker 4: I didn't watch the game, To be honest.
Speaker 3: With you, you're one of the Americans that didn't watch the game.
Speaker 7: What were you doing working?

Speaker 3: some overtime payers, at least some o you.
Speaker 4: So you missed it. I like Beick Belichick with that
Speaker 4: new girlfriend. They put on quite a performance.
Speaker 3: Okay. Well, the only thing I didn't I don't know
Speaker 3: if Belichick was at the game. I don't. I didn't
Speaker 3: see him at the game. I I I saw him
Speaker 3: in the Duncan's commercial, but that was about it. I
Speaker 3: didn't realize he was physically at the game. But yeah,
Speaker 3: that's okay, all right, Bill, that's an interesting it's a
Speaker 3: different perspective. You're the first person who called it didn't
Speaker 3: watch the game? Okay, thanks, I think okay, I have
Speaker 3: a great night. They got a little Bill Belichick fixation there.
Speaker 3: Let me go to Robert in Wellesley. Robert, welcome, How
Speaker 3: are you, sir?
Speaker 9: Oh fine?
Speaker 8: Thanks?
Speaker 9: Jan I I had a couple of comments and uh
Speaker 9: and as far as the commercial, gull I, I agree
Speaker 9: with you on the on the Beckham commercial, and that
Speaker 9: was what I understood.
Speaker 3: I mean, it was it was kind of a little story.
Speaker 3: I get it, but I understood it. And Beckham and
Speaker 3: Damon they kind of played off each other pretty well.
Speaker 3: I liked that one couple. Some of them you don't
Speaker 3: even understand. I mean, you know, I didn't understand the
Speaker 3: guy that was Did you see the one where the
Speaker 3: kids riding a bicycle. He's like a newspaper delivery boy,
Speaker 3: but he's riding a bicycle in Ireland and he's throwing
Speaker 3: you know, you'd think he's throwing papers, but he's actually
Speaker 3: throwing laptops. No, you saw that one write some some laptop.
Speaker 9: It was all mysterious.
Speaker 3: I guess squarespace. I had no clue what was going
Speaker 3: on there, that's for sure.
Speaker 9: The one I missed that too.
Speaker 3: Helman's Magazine, Helman's Mayonnaise with a Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan.
Speaker 3: That was pretty You missed you to get a lot
Speaker 3: of the ads. It's okay.
Speaker 9: I heard about it and I was looking forward to it,
Speaker 9: but I missed it. But I think you want to say, yeah,
Speaker 9: go ahead. One was the pregame show and I didn't
Speaker 9: get to see the star Spangled banner in America America,
Speaker 9: The Beautiful and Last Year was. I was on the
Speaker 9: edge of my seat hoping that they were going to
Speaker 9: show the American sign language, you know, at least in
Speaker 9: a little box or something, signing of the of the
Speaker 9: of the National Anthem and America the Beautiful, and they they,
Speaker 9: they they the whatever network showed it. I don't know
Speaker 9: if it was Fox then or not, but they introduced
Speaker 9: they went to the trouble of introducing the signer of
Speaker 9: the interpreter and then didn't show the interpretation, and that
Speaker 9: that was kind of a leftdown for me. Did you
Speaker 9: did you see the pregame show and did you notice
Speaker 9: if they did sign the have you know, have the
Speaker 9: signing of the National Anthem and America the Beautiful.
Speaker 3: I did see that. Yeah, I didn't want, I mean
Speaker 3: to be honest with you. I was grabbing some food
Speaker 3: at the time, and I wasn't sure exactly where we
Speaker 3: were and all of that. But yeah, no, I wasn't
Speaker 3: being disrespectful. I was in the other room. I knew
Speaker 3: that they did have a signer or whatever, which they
Speaker 3: I think they always have, don't you or no? I
Speaker 3: mean I could, I could.
Speaker 9: I hope One thing I did see.
Speaker 3: I walked into the room and she was talking about,
Speaker 3: you know, when the with the bombs bursting in air,
Speaker 3: and I actually could figure out what she was doing
Speaker 3: because she was throwing her hands up in the air
Speaker 3: like bombs, which is pretty cool.
Speaker 1: I yeah, yeah, that's great when it works out that way.
Speaker 9: And the other thing was that the halftime show kind
Speaker 9: of I thought they could have had something with wider appeal.
Speaker 9: And when I was talking with someone about it, the
Speaker 9: person told me that he was of the opinion that, uh,
Speaker 9: and it didn't seem right to me, but he was
Speaker 9: of the opinion that the major that the performer paid
Speaker 9: to perform rather than got paid to perform. Just have
Speaker 9: you ever heard of anything that happened?
Speaker 3: No, I haven't heard that. No. No, I could be
Speaker 3: you know, I stand to be corrected if someone wants
Speaker 3: to correct me. But no, though they bring those folks
Speaker 3: in and there's a huge I mean, he had like
Speaker 3: a cast of hundreds behind him, the dancers and everything,
Speaker 3: and he's highly respected rapper. I just don't I can't
Speaker 3: get the words, you know. I mean, I wish they
Speaker 3: had like closed caption, but maybe they couldn't put rap
Speaker 3: lyrics in closed caption.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I felt I thought that.
Speaker 3: Have you ever been let me ask you, have you
Speaker 3: ever been at an event where they pass around a
Speaker 3: song sheet, you know, a piece of paper with all
Speaker 3: the songs written on him. I thought we all should
Speaker 3: have song sheets so we could know what the heck
Speaker 3: he was saying that song.
Speaker 9: On a small scale, nothing really baked, though sometimes that happens,
Speaker 9: but not nothing really but nothing now, well, big events
Speaker 9: that I can think of, No, I just did.
Speaker 3: But maybe I was thinking was maybe what they could
Speaker 3: have said was, hey, you could download go to your
Speaker 3: computer and you could print out his lyrics if you wanted.
Speaker 3: Guy has to have a triple yeah to remember everything
Speaker 3: he's saying. You know, people have trouble with the star
Speaker 3: spangled banner. Half the time they screw it up. But right,
Speaker 3: he must have spoke I don't know, fifteen thousand words
Speaker 3: during his thirteen minute performance.
Speaker 9: He was he was a machine gun fire.
Speaker 3: You got it?
Speaker 8: You got that?
Speaker 3: Was like, Hey, Robert, thanks man, talk to you soon. Okay,
Speaker 3: appreciate your call.
Speaker 9: Yep, thank you have a good one.
Speaker 3: Let's keep rolling. You're going to go next to Patrick
Speaker 3: in DC. I wonder if Patrick watched the game, Patrick,
Speaker 3: how are you?
Speaker 10: We always have a super Bowl here every day here
Speaker 10: in Washington, DC ever since the inauguration. I say, we
Speaker 10: just keep on rolling.
Speaker 7: Don't we.
Speaker 3: I would agree with you and that there's always something
Speaker 3: going on in DC. Did you get it? Were you?
Speaker 3: You're a football guy, you know, I know you pretty well,
Speaker 3: but I've never had you. If you would you watch
Speaker 3: the game?
Speaker 10: No, I'll tell you why. I can't watch people who
Speaker 10: make much more money than me. I'm broke, you know.
Speaker 10: And then they're asking me to gamble what little money
Speaker 10: I have, you know, me get on credit, Get me
Speaker 10: on credit, to gamble my credit away. I would have
Speaker 10: liked to watch the Super Bowl, I really would have.
Speaker 10: But I think that it is the game itself. When
Speaker 10: you're watching the television itself, it just gets too confusing,
Speaker 10: with things running down to the bottom, of things running
Speaker 10: in from the side. You have all these show to
Speaker 10: go by you and you would really like to pay
Speaker 10: attention to one thing. And I think that's what happens
Speaker 10: with the halftime show here.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 10: They count on everybody just having this fraction of attention
Speaker 10: spans yeah, and they just have all this stuff, you know,
Speaker 10: right there, and you just catch They're looking to just
Speaker 10: catch you with that fraction right there, and you just
Speaker 10: can't appreciate it. I just I can't appreciate it.
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of wisdom in what you say.
Speaker 3: I mean, they look I'm not a rap guy. Okay,
Speaker 3: I mean you might have figured that out already, But
Speaker 3: I have a tough time picking up the lyrics of
Speaker 3: any song, never mind the guy who's sitting there, you know,
Speaker 3: going rip. I don't know.
Speaker 10: I mean, we have forgotten how to enunciate.
Speaker 3: I do know that, no kidding. I just wish. I
Speaker 3: wish we had close caption. I don't know if they
Speaker 3: could have, if it could have kept up with cold caption,
Speaker 3: but close caption.
Speaker 7: It's very different.
Speaker 3: It's different from up with people.
Speaker 10: I know that, But I did hear we hit one
Speaker 10: of our One of our fellow listeners called in and
Speaker 10: mentioned the Redskins. Whoa we like Redskins? How about that?
Speaker 3: I didn't realize who that went by me? Did someone
Speaker 3: mentioned they're supposed to say the Commanders? Oh? I missed that.
Speaker 10: Yes, because well, when the Redskins wanted to s Super Bowl,
Speaker 10: they were the Redskins.
Speaker 7: What can we say?
Speaker 3: You know, back to the time of of of John Riggins, absolutely, you.
Speaker 10: Know so and then but it was an interesting program
Speaker 10: tonight to talk about the unaffordable and lack of healthcare
Speaker 10: act that is going on. And and I'm sure that
Speaker 10: anybody who got injured during the super Bowl had immediate
Speaker 10: medical attention, but that was a pretty bad seven hours
Speaker 10: and a half. Told you're going to room the.
Speaker 3: Room, seven hours, go to the emergency room. I would
Speaker 3: I would relabel at the unemergency room at that point.
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's that's that's absolutely correct. And and uh and
Speaker 10: our friend listen, I thought I had the night off tonight.
Speaker 10: And our friend who got the closest score, who won
Speaker 10: the mug, he was supposed to get a drum roll.
Speaker 10: So I'm a little late. I'm a little late, you know.
Speaker 10: But let's give that guy, you.
Speaker 3: Know, his drum roll. I love that, Thank you very much, Patrick.
Speaker 3: That is great, Robb. You should record that. That should
Speaker 3: be the official nightside drum roll. Rob, we can.
Speaker 10: I'll get some toys of Robin and we'll send in
Speaker 10: some drum rolls so he.
Speaker 4: Could have it.
Speaker 3: Well, that would be great if you could do that. Yeah,
Speaker 3: do me a favorite hold On. I gotta go to
Speaker 3: break hold On and Rob will pick it up. Uh,
Speaker 3: and maybe you can just send Rob the drum roll
Speaker 3: and we will have the official drum roll directly from
Speaker 3: Patrick in the District of Columbia. We'll always give you
Speaker 3: credit for it.
Speaker 10: Okay, at no charge.
Speaker 7: At no charge, Thank you much much.

Speaker 8: to be a Topper I got. I got no reason
Speaker 8: to compensate. I didn't watch the game because they you know,
Speaker 8: I had no vested interest in it. And there's the
Speaker 8: commercial breaks. The commercials are wonderful, they're funny, the pharmaceutical
Speaker 8: commercials and stuff like that. Sometimes they get in there.
Speaker 8: But I just had no vested interest because there was
Speaker 8: no Patriots, and my old team's my favorite ones from
Speaker 8: beforehead kids and and things like that. I got to
Speaker 8: settle back into football when I'm ready for it. But
Speaker 8: what I did do, my neighbor Joe was a big
Speaker 8: fan of any football. His Steelers were not in the game,
Speaker 8: but to get to him, and he kept asking me
Speaker 8: if I come over to watch, and I didn't want to.
Speaker 8: I said, well, one of the Bruins going to play
Speaker 8: the Steelers in that soccer game tomorrow.

Speaker 8: at Casey Affleck, but I might have been thrown in
Speaker 8: from like a year last year or something. But then
Speaker 8: the Matthew McConney was pretty funny too.
