0:14

Jones. Thanks for watching us on YouTube.

0:16

Thanks for listening wherever you get your

podcasts. Subscribe, like, rate us, review us,

0:20

give us five stars. You only give

0:22

us four stars. I'm inclined to believe

0:24

you are a hater. It was a

0:26

Super Bowl. Sean, does it sound like

0:28

I spent a week in Las Vegas?

0:31

It sure does. And my voice is

0:33

not doing any better. We all chance

0:35

the fates, man. Like, we got there

0:37

Tuesday. We left on Saturday. That

0:39

was doing the most. I've never spent that much

0:41

time in Vegas in my life. Yeah, I mean,

0:43

at least I stayed long enough at the end

0:45

to get some of my money back. Like, it

0:47

was a lot of fun. But I do have

0:49

to say, like, once I got

0:51

on that plane, I was just like, I can't

0:53

believe I was there this long. I cannot believe

0:55

I was there for this long. It was people

0:58

that was there for long. Oh, my goodness. I

1:00

can't imagine what it was like Saturday night, because

1:02

by Friday, it started to crackle at you in

1:04

a way that wasn't always entirely comfortable. It

1:06

took a significant change Friday

1:09

night, Saturday, where I was like, this is

1:11

extremely too many people. And every Uber driver

1:13

I got in the car with was like,

1:16

you know we're supposed to have half a

1:18

million people in town. And I was like,

1:20

that's insane. That number felt low, to

1:22

be perfectly honest, right? But it was a

1:24

good time in Las Vegas. As you can

1:27

tell from us leaving on Saturday, we didn't

1:29

go to the game. Like, largely because the

1:31

game is a television production. And so it

1:33

is better for us in doing our jobs

1:35

to talk to you from here than to

1:37

have actually been in that stadium. And then

1:39

quite honestly, if I stayed in that place

1:41

for another 36 hours, I'm not sure I

1:43

would have lived. Like, I'm not sure I would have made it out

1:45

of there in one single

1:47

whole piece. I can't promise you. But what

1:49

we had was a Super Bowl. I

1:52

don't know if we can call it a very

1:54

good Super Bowl. I think that this is perhaps

1:56

the worst Super Bowl to have if you were

1:58

here in our media business. and what made it

2:00

a bad Super Bowl to have in our media businesses.

2:04

Like, Sean, do you have any way that you would

2:06

describe it? I don't. I

2:08

know what word you're looking for, but I can't really

2:10

describe it. I don't know how you know what word

2:12

I'm looking for, because I don't know what word I'm

2:15

looking for, to be perfectly honest. Like,

2:17

it was not a great

2:19

game. Like, a friend of the program

2:21

sent a text that was like, look man, this game is

2:23

kind of wearing me out, right? Like, it was

2:26

not a top-notch football game, but

2:28

it wasn't because anybody played poorly.

2:30

I didn't find anybody to be

2:32

like, uniquely disappointing in any sort

2:34

of way. We got an

2:36

overtime game, but I have to be

2:38

honest, I did not find the overtime

2:40

element of it to be particularly suspenseful.

2:42

I felt like I had a pretty

2:44

good idea how the thing was going

2:46

to ultimately go. Though, I guess there

2:48

was a measure of suspense when

2:51

the 49ers were marching down there close, because

2:53

I thought that it was possible that they

2:55

could score a touchdown, but I knew good and damn well that

2:57

when G's got the ball, they was going to score a touchdown,

2:59

because that was Jordan over there. We get back to that part

3:02

in a minute, but I just

3:04

thought it was a football game

3:06

with the largest stakes. That's

3:10

probably the way that I would describe it. Yeah,

3:13

like, nobody

3:15

had a like, definitive standout

3:18

performance. I mean, it was

3:20

really shaping up such

3:22

that, so let's say that

3:24

the 49ers had kicked a field

3:26

goal in that first overtime drive,

3:29

and therefore, whatever reason, the Chiefs went down

3:31

the other way, it did not score, and

3:33

the 49ers won. Sean,

3:35

do you have a compelling argument against Juar

3:37

Jennings for Super Bowl MVP? Because I feel

3:39

like Juar Jennings would have been the Super

3:41

Bowl MVP, or should have been the Super

3:43

Bowl MVP of the 49ers and won. I

3:46

agree. I think he did the most for

3:48

that team. I mean, he's always been a

3:51

great blocking receiver, but he scored and was

3:53

clearly the only impact player outside

3:55

of maybe McCaffrey. That's

4:00

that that sound like Super Bowl MVP to

4:02

me. That's what I would think that he

4:04

would have been it But again, not that

4:06

he had some earth-shattering level of performance even

4:08

my homes I would say did not necessarily

4:10

have oh one level He didn't have that

4:13

the thing about my home that be easy

4:15

for us to forget sometimes that dude put

4:17

up an easy 66 yards

4:19

on the ground Easy 66 yards

4:22

my buddy Nick who was more invested in stolen

4:24

the virtues of Patrick Mahomes than anybody else

4:26

on planet Earth He does make the point though

4:28

that my homes is maybe the most effective runner

4:31

that we've ever seen play quarterback

4:34

And I thought about that As

4:36

it was getting down like when they had the

4:38

fourth down and over time and as they were

4:40

getting closer to the goal line The best cop

4:42

I have for what it was like to watch

4:44

him there a football cop not going right to

4:46

the Jordan cop But a football cop it

4:49

felt like Vince Young and the Rose Bowl Which

4:51

is to say at no

4:53

point in that game against USC on any

4:55

of those late plays or any of those

4:57

four downs Never ever did

5:00

I think they are going to stop

5:02

him? It was what fourth down

5:04

and whatever I want to say from the 12

5:06

yard line and I knew right then and there

5:09

All right, they about to score like a touchdown

5:11

is gonna be the end result here Nobody

5:14

is ever supposed to look in

5:16

the NFL Like

5:19

Vince Young looked in college It's

5:22

never ever ever ever ever Supposed

5:25

to be that and I do think that that was

5:27

what this was because one thing about Vince in that

5:29

Rose Bowl game Vince in a Rose

5:31

Bowl game was not like watching Michael Vick

5:33

in that Sugar Bowl where it was just

5:35

I can't believe what this Is that I'm

5:37

saying, right? It was more about

5:39

being really really effective and it was a lot

5:41

of nickel and dime pass and it's like, okay

5:43

If you're gonna shut this down, then I will

5:45

get us every first down that we have to

5:47

get in order to win this game Like that's

5:49

what we got to do. Okay, cool

5:52

Now, of course, it's a bit different because for

5:54

the Chiefs of the 49 as they games 22

5:56

wall Oh, what was it 19 all

5:58

going into overtime? where it was a 40,

6:00

what was it? 42

6:03

to 38 or whatever it was in that Rose Bowl

6:05

game, right? Like that game had a lot more points,

6:08

but hey man, my man

6:10

Till hit me with it. He was right. It

6:13

was Jordan and just like, yo, we

6:16

go into the block, we go into the post, every

6:18

play, every play. We just gonna take that

6:20

ball down to the block and let's see what you got

6:22

for it. Can you do anything about that? And when you

6:24

get a bike, the ball is blocked. You know what it's

6:26

gonna be. Might go shoot that fade away. Ain't really nothing

6:28

you can do about that fade away. All you can do

6:31

is play very good defense. You play very good defense, I

6:33

hope that it works out. That

6:35

was where the 49ers work. That's where the 49ers had

6:37

to do. Just hope that you play the best defense that

6:39

you can and maybe Jordan will miss. Hey,

6:41

Jordan had an interception. He has that one missed, but

6:44

that's it, man. But I

6:46

say that this game was like not good

6:48

for the people in our business because I've

6:50

been watching some television around this and

6:53

you could tell they tried hard to

6:56

find the compelling things to talk about

6:58

and the full-cra,

7:01

is it full-cra? I feel like it's

7:03

full-cra. Full-chromes, whatever it is, full-cry. I

7:05

feel like full-cra should be the answer.

7:08

But anyway, just try to find that

7:10

thing that you can use to turn

7:12

this into a discussion about something else,

7:14

perhaps a discussion about something larger. And

7:16

Sean, I'm telling you, I've been trying.

7:18

I ain't got it. Yeah, there's a

7:20

lot of forced narratives this week and

7:22

probably the week, I mean, the

7:24

week before and now this week, it's just gonna be a

7:26

lot of forced narratives about that

7:28

49ers team. And I think the big story

7:30

is their lack of understanding of the OT

7:32

rules too. Yeah, yeah, no, but it's like,

7:34

I did think that was interesting, that they

7:37

apparently as players did not know what

7:39

the overtime rules were. They didn't know how it

7:41

went in this form of fashion. Like that does

7:45

not look good for the 49ers. I will say

7:47

that, that part does not look good. I would

7:49

also like to point out that the dude from

7:51

Harvard said that he ain't know the rules. And

7:53

I gotta be honest, Sean, that's the first time

7:55

I'd heard that use check dude talk before. And

7:58

let's just say. He

8:00

should tell people he went to Harvard all the

8:02

time because I didn't never believe that shit otherwise.

8:04

Would you have? No, literally I thought

8:06

the same thing yesterday was the first time I heard

8:09

him speak. And I was like,

8:11

this guy doesn't, this guy went to Harvard? Yeah,

8:13

yeah, I never would have known, man. Like I

8:15

never would have had no idea that he went

8:17

to Harvard. Though to be honest, I feel the

8:19

exact same way about Ryan Fitzpatrick. They just told

8:21

us he went to Harvard all the time. Maybe

8:23

because he was a quarterback. We saw Ryan Fitzpatrick

8:25

at the party the other night. It ain't feel

8:27

like Harvard showed up in the spot. No, it

8:30

felt like a community college. No

8:33

offense to him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know. I

8:35

didn't necessarily assume that. But yeah, all them casters

8:37

just out there saying that they didn't know the

8:40

rules. OK, I hear the people. I

8:42

leave the impressions on that to the players. If

8:45

players say that that is an indictment or

8:47

damning, then I am inclined to believe that

8:49

that is an indictment or that that is

8:51

damning. Outside of

8:53

the fact that I think that if I were Shanahan, I

8:55

would have handed the ball off more, I

8:58

don't have anything really necessarily bad

9:00

to say about him. I don't

9:02

feel like whatever is in dispute

9:05

about Brock Purdy, like whatever there

9:07

is for us to figure out about him, I

9:10

don't feel like it was settled in that game, do you? I

9:14

thought he was, I didn't think he was bad. He

9:16

didn't do anything, I would say, to cost them anything.

9:19

I will say that his size, I thought, proved

9:21

to be an issue and that when he seemed

9:23

to be the most affected is when the Chiefs

9:25

just had a rush straight up the middle. And

9:27

that's the thing about having a not very big

9:29

quarterback, when that rush was up the middle, he

9:32

didn't have nothing really that he could do. But

9:34

this wasn't a, see, I told you he wasn't

9:36

good, or a, see, that's one of the 10

9:38

best players in the league type game. All right,

9:40

am I tripping? No, the same

9:42

narrative probably will continue for Brock Purdy.

9:44

He's a slightly above

9:47

average quarterback, the

9:49

game manager thing, sure. But you're totally right

9:51

on his physicality. And you see it on

9:53

the other side with Mahomes, he was slightly

9:55

bigger and was able to escape the pocket

9:58

and make these runs for crew. moments

10:00

of the game. Yeah I got into a fight

10:02

with people on the internet the day before about

10:04

Travis Kelce and it's wow cuz like

10:07

I've tried to make the point that I think Travis

10:09

Kelce is a Hall of Famer they want me to

10:11

say he's definitively a Hall of Famer as if I

10:13

get to decide that shit. Alright like

10:15

that's what that's that's my issue with it

10:17

is I'm not talking about whether he should

10:19

or shouldn't get in. I'm just

10:21

telling you I don't trust those people. I don't

10:23

know what they're gonna do. I think he will get

10:26

in but I don't trust those people. I said Julio

10:28

Jones is probably a Hall of Famer. I think he'll

10:30

get in but I don't trust those people. The thing

10:32

I hold against both of those guys by the way

10:34

is the low number does not pass us but neither

10:37

here nor there. But I got into the bag of

10:39

four for people about that. I said that Gronk was

10:41

better than Travis Kelce and I'm sorry fellas I did

10:43

not know that that was a controversial opinion. It blows

10:46

my mind but my point was and this is important

10:49

Gronk for the Patriots was

10:52

not just the guy in the sense of he's

10:54

the best receiver that we have. He's

10:57

the guy like yo that big motherfucker

10:59

will run past you and two other

11:01

people right like what are we going

11:03

to do about that guy as opposed

11:06

to damn damn that guy goes again

11:08

moving the chain. Like Gronk was just

11:10

a different animal from anybody who has

11:12

ever played that position as far as

11:15

I can tell. He is number one

11:17

you can have whatever discussion you want

11:19

to have about number two. Travis Kelce

11:21

moves those chains great to have. He's

11:24

really really good at the things that

11:26

he does but he ain't Gronk

11:28

because no dude that plays that position is

11:30

Gronk. And so what's happened over the course of

11:33

time is like somebody said this in my mentions

11:35

because that's what they want to do because I

11:37

said that Travis Kelce was not a guy capital

11:40

G capital U capital Y in the

11:42

way that Gronk was a capital G

11:44

capital U capital Y and a guy

11:46

sends me something that says 113 catches

11:49

for 1271 yards and 13 touchdowns

11:51

at Travis Kelce's last 13 games.

11:54

And the guy says that looks like

11:56

the guy's that line the touchdowns do

11:58

look very impressive. There's way around

12:00

that. Otherwise, what you're talking

12:02

about there is 11 yards of

12:04

catch. You understand what I'm saying,

12:07

right? Like it's 11 yards of

12:09

catch. 11 yards of catch is

12:11

not setting the world on fire. 11 yards

12:13

of catch for me is not capital G,

12:15

capital U, capital Y territory. And in this

12:18

game, what did Travis Kelsey give you? Nine

12:21

catches, 93 yards, right?

12:23

And look, them nine catches matter. That big one

12:26

at late, that 22 yard to get them to

12:28

help get them to overtime. It mattered. But that's

12:30

what I'm saying about him, at least in the

12:32

way that I look at it, that guy to

12:35

me is not the guy that you say is

12:37

the greatest tight end of all time. But what

12:39

you can say is he had tight end. They

12:41

got three championships for the role that he plays

12:44

for the team that he is on, right? It

12:46

is possible to stop from saying that somebody

12:48

is in a certain sphere of all time

12:50

greatness without that being some sort of issue,

12:53

without that being some sort of slight. But hey,

12:55

Sean, I mean, you ain't that

12:57

you remember this Gronk thing. That Gronk thing

12:59

was just something different. No, you made it.

13:01

You made such a good point. One of

13:04

your tweets about how we

13:06

never discussed how there was a lack of

13:08

wide receiver one for that Patriots team with

13:10

Gronk because Gronk was the guy where the

13:12

entire conversation this year was, well, the Chiefs

13:14

don't have a wide receiver one when it

13:16

should have been Kelsey. Yeah. Like what are

13:18

they going to do after Tyreek Hill leaves?

13:21

And that included last year and Kelsey kind

13:23

of stepped up on it. But you had

13:25

that question cause Gronk, Gronk had 90 catches

13:27

and 18 touchdowns in his age 22 season.

13:29

His problem obviously was just the ability to

13:31

stay healthy. Right. And it's wild because Gronk

13:33

started so young and Kelsey has gone late.

13:36

They're basically about the same age, but I

13:38

think now it played the same number of

13:40

seasons in the NFL. But either way it

13:42

goes, I bring that up here because you

13:44

didn't even wind up with like some off

13:46

the charts. Travis Kelsey performance, my

13:48

home so damn good that he folds to 333

13:51

yards and runs for 66. And we're like, I

13:53

just kind of felt like another day of the

13:55

officer patching my homes. But Hey, I want to

13:57

say a shout out to a very important dude.

14:00

featherstone featherstone

14:03

Actually, I remember the Chiefs got like two

14:05

featherstones Hey, I bought my both featherstones kind

14:08

of came through with it. Although featherstone number

14:10

one Shaw you saw when he

14:12

had the forward progress. He tried to lose the game running

14:14

backwards. You remember that? I can't believe

14:16

he redeemed himself It

14:18

was like this literally the next play he had a

14:20

cut I had to catch for like eight yards made

14:22

these yards back but that forward progress I

14:25

was like, this is probably it for the Chiefs after seeing that

14:27

Yeah, I would have sent him to his room and made him

14:29

think about what he did But uh,

14:31

me Cole Harman who got another

14:34

featherstone He got the Super

14:36

Bowl winning catch and he had to 50-yard

14:38

catch. Yeah former jet who would have thought

14:40

yes, that's right That's right. He couldn't get

14:42

on the field. So say a bad but

14:44

hoes out here making it happen But the

14:46

dudes the Jets don't want you

14:48

think about that for a second the Jets like

14:51

five Did the just the Jets drop that CeeLo

14:53

green on him? You can have them god damn

14:55

it if you want it to that bad We

14:57

don't even need him right just pass them on

14:59

down the line My home's like I'll make it

15:01

work my home's the dude that when when

15:04

featherstone dropped that pass earlier this year I was

15:06

like, yeah, you know I could have thrown it

15:08

a little bit shorter and then he would have

15:10

caught it like he has figured that out This

15:12

is what he has got to do like I

15:14

had a situation Once on a project

15:17

that I was working on and I felt

15:19

like the person I was doing that with

15:21

wasn't really bringing it And I was not

15:23

handling it well and they came and told

15:25

me to be nice and I just was

15:27

like, come on, man Are you serious and

15:29

they told me hey, I ain't never seen

15:31

that dude be better, but I have seen

15:33

you be nicer That's what they asked

15:35

Patrick Mahomes to do all year long. That's

15:37

what they hit him with. They just like hey, man. Look You

15:41

know, he gonna be featherstone no

15:43

matter what right? We can say the name on

15:45

the jersey still gonna be featherstone in his soul

15:48

You're gonna have to be the one to go

15:50

out here and figure it out and he went

15:52

out there and he figured it out, right? Also,

15:55

shout out to that Chiefs defense because I mean

15:57

this really was one of those where the defense

15:59

is carried to Chiefs also hey man, you

16:01

got to be a boss kicker when they let you get

16:03

up on the stage after they won a Super Bowl Did

16:05

you peep that? Insane. I don't

16:07

know if that's ever happened outside of

16:09

maybe Vinotary But I mean the

16:11

dude went out there and did his

16:13

thing He has now the longest field goal in the

16:16

Super Bowl record Hey, I feel like we need to

16:18

send a shout out to that moody kid, man He

16:20

had the longest field goal in a Super Bowl history

16:22

for about what 15 20 minutes. Yeah, pretty much I

16:26

got that that thank her completely around the

16:29

other way Just that quick

16:31

like just that quick that thing turned around.

16:33

Oh, but yeah, that was it Like

16:36

I just felt like it was a

16:38

football game I just

16:40

don't have anything like supremely

16:42

defining supremely memorable There's like

16:44

it didn't change my mind

16:47

about anything and oh

16:50

This what we could talk about Sean. Did

16:52

you hear my man? Tony Romo

16:55

he threw that Jordan out there like I

16:57

feel like we the right time been ahead

16:59

of the curve on this Jordan thing And

17:01

people talk crazy to me about this But

17:03

what more do you need to see before

17:05

you recognize this man Jordan the comparisons are

17:07

there? I'm just asking what what what is

17:10

it that people are looking for and part

17:12

of why I make this Jordan Comparison and

17:14

this is important for people to understand where

17:16

I'm coming from is I remember my dad

17:19

By like 88 or 89 was

17:22

like this is this is the greatest

17:24

player I've ever seen you don't need

17:26

to see Everything all the time like

17:28

we've seen it like that dude So, you know

17:31

that dude on Twitter that when the moleculars be

17:33

over he'll wait for every vote He ain't got

17:35

to wait for every vote all the time. You

17:37

know what I'm saying? Like 65% of the precincts

17:39

are in I've seen enough. This is

17:42

what it is, right? Well my hoes at

17:44

this point, it's like they just closed the

17:46

polls in California I know who's getting those

17:48

electoral votes and I know they

17:50

I know I know which way that was going

17:52

and who knows something could happen Pals get hurt.

17:54

I don't know what it is. But

17:56

what I've seen from him in this stretch

17:59

to me And this is

18:01

where I come from here, okay?

18:03

Peak greatness matters more than anything

18:05

else. Peak greatness. Longevity

18:07

widely overrated to me. Peak greatness. When

18:09

I'm talking about, in fact, longevity is

18:11

overrated to me when I'm talking about

18:13

who is like the greatest of all

18:16

time. And when I think about

18:18

what makes you the greatest of all time,

18:20

it is you at your greatest. And if

18:22

you have an ability to sustain that level

18:24

of greatness, then I'm here to have the

18:26

discussion, okay? Mahomes being

18:28

as great as he has

18:30

been for six years, let

18:33

alone his first six years as a

18:35

starter, but just six years in general

18:37

is unreal, okay? This

18:39

starts with 5,000 yards and

18:41

50 touchdown passes. Like that's

18:44

where it begins. And then gradually getting

18:46

to this point, we're recognizing, you

18:48

know, I can't even really do it like that anymore.

18:50

We gotta go out here and we gotta run. We

18:52

gotta run a little more folk corners, right? We gotta

18:54

move that ball around a little bit more. We just

18:56

can't be out here playing like we was playing before.

19:00

And still getting it done, still getting

19:02

it done, right? A

19:04

loss in a Super Bowl and

19:06

two losses in overtime. Those

19:09

are the three losses that Patrick Mahomes

19:11

has had in the postseason. On the

19:13

other side, three Super Bowls with three

19:15

Super Bowl MVPs. And in all three

19:18

cases, definitely was the Super Bowl MVP.

19:21

He's Jordan, doing it and doing things unlike

19:23

anything that you have ever seen before. Doing

19:25

it in ways unlike anything that you have

19:28

ever seen before. And now doing it with

19:30

a bunch of dudes. Because the thing about

19:32

Jordan is this, you can say what you

19:35

want about that second three peeps, but the

19:37

argument that people make against him that is

19:39

not the worst in the world is look

19:41

at the competition that he faced in

19:44

the postseason deep into it and the competition

19:46

that he faced in the NBA Finals. And

19:48

how good those teams were or were not.

19:51

Fair point. Counterpoint.

19:54

He was out there on a team with the second best player

19:56

with Scottie Pippen. That's

19:58

right. said it, the

20:01

second best player was Scottie Pippen.

20:04

That's what Jordan was out here doing. Jordan's so

20:06

good Scottie Pippen in the Hall of Fame. Yeah,

20:10

that's right. Jordan's so good,

20:12

Scottie Pippen is in the

20:14

Hall of Fame. That's

20:16

where he's at, okay? Mahal

20:20

is that guy. You look at

20:22

the receivers, post Tyreek

20:24

Hill in particular. He's

20:27

that dude, man. He's everything. I don't

20:31

I will he ever

20:33

amass the resume of

20:35

Tom Brady? I don't have

20:37

an answer for you on that because the

20:39

thing that's wild about Tom Brady is this.

20:41

I said this about like the Tiger Woods

20:43

comparison to Mahal or just think about Tiger

20:45

Woods, okay? When

20:48

we're talking about whether or not he would get to 18 majors,

20:51

what's so wild about getting to the 18 majors

20:54

is that Jack Nicklaus had to win the 18th. The

20:57

18th major was the 86 Masters

20:59

where he came back. He had won a major in

21:01

six years before that or whatever it is, but to

21:03

get to that one he had to pull one straight

21:05

out of his keister. Tiger

21:07

Woods, that last one that he won was

21:10

the one that he pulled straight out of

21:12

his keister. Tom

21:14

Brady went 10

21:16

seasons without winning a Super Bowl,

21:18

right? It's the 05 season

21:21

through the 13 seasons.

21:24

So that's nine seasons. That's nine straight seasons

21:26

that he had without a Super Bowl. And

21:28

what was stunning about that is that he

21:31

came back on the back end of that

21:33

and won how many more? 14,

21:38

16, 18, 20. Won four more on

21:40

the back end. That's nuts. Nuts,

21:44

okay? Like if Patrick Mahomes

21:46

was Tom Brady, he'd had these three at

21:48

this point in his career and could not

21:50

win nine more and that would still be

21:53

on the same pace as a Tom Brady.

21:56

You see what I'm saying? Like that's what's

21:58

so unreal about Brady is that all All

22:00

the ones that were won, they were in

22:02

such different ways from the first run through

22:04

the second run and what was asked of

22:06

him. And the strangest part, when

22:08

he was the best player that he was, which

22:10

was from that 05 to

22:13

13 stretch, that's the best Tom Brady. That's the

22:15

Tom Brady with the undefeated season. That's the Tom

22:17

Brady that without Randy Moss, I want to say

22:19

either had 37 touchdowns and four

22:21

interceptions or 39 touchdowns and four interceptions. I want

22:23

to say that was the 2010 year. But

22:26

that version of Tom Brady didn't win any. All

22:30

kinds of things could happen here in the evolution

22:33

of how this rolls where Mahomes goes. For

22:35

me, I'm not doing this just by checking

22:38

off accomplishments. I'm not using what's written down

22:40

on paper. I'm going to do a little

22:42

something called thinking for myself. And for me,

22:45

that guy is Jordan. That's

22:48

who that dude is. That is the best quarterback that I have

22:50

ever seen. That guy is Michael Jordan.

22:53

Period. So

22:59

Sean, I got to tell you a secret. I kind

23:01

of forgot how the show works. And

23:03

I had been stretching out that last segment feeling like

23:06

I needed to get his father and father and father

23:08

along, you know, and then

23:10

realize I looked at the clock. It was

23:12

like, shit, I could have wrapped that up

23:14

five, six, seven minutes ago. And we still

23:16

got the, you know, the halftime show to

23:18

talk about. We have. Yeah, yeah,

23:20

yeah, yeah. Yeah. But it was

23:22

great, but you pushed through. Yeah, I did. I

23:25

made my life a lot harder than it had to

23:27

be. I'm holding to people here a little longer. Like

23:29

I really looked up and was like, damn, I still

23:32

got Vegas brain, baby. Time is no object. Right. I'm

23:34

still there. Anyway, we

23:37

got the halftime show from your boy Usher.

23:39

And are you an Usher guy? Sean,

23:42

I wouldn't say I'm an Usher guy,

23:44

but I know that he

23:47

has hits. And I do know a lot

23:49

of his songs by word. Yeah. Usher for

23:52

me is interesting because I'm

23:54

of a very particular age. Usher

23:57

is around my age. Like

24:00

I went to college in Atlanta and Usher is

24:02

Atlanta ish like us right here I got like

24:04

he was the first dude to ever put off

24:06

for Atlanta and he need to sit his pointy-headed

24:09

ass down That is that they ain't that just

24:11

come on get out of here He he started

24:13

putting on the Atlanta after everybody else had long

24:15

been putting on Atlanta and then he showed up

24:17

like oh Yeah, y'all know what school you're right

24:19

chill out homie. He wrong about that. But anyway

24:24

So the thing about Usher that I kind of had

24:26

to shake was like I Went

24:29

to college with so many people who made up stories

24:31

about how Usher got beat up at a high school

24:33

one time because he showed Up to holla at the

24:35

girls and the dudes ran up on him and I

24:37

was 17 years old So I

24:39

wasn't sophisticated enough to recognize that all these

24:41

people were telling the same story Just at

24:44

a different school which meant that probably all

24:46

of them were lying But

24:48

we were of the age of those things not only

24:50

seeing plausible but all dancy ass motherfucker That would be

24:52

exactly the person that we would be talking about that

24:54

way You know, like I ain't never I ain't never

24:56

really been here for these old dance Yeah, it's my

24:59

fucking that ain't never been my speed. That's not this

25:01

is this is in the height of the hip-hop thing,

25:03

too Man, this is about hip-hop that don't nobody ever

25:05

talk about Hip-hop

25:08

completely How

25:11

did how did an entire genre

25:13

decide that singing made you whack?

25:16

We just decided anybody that was singing

25:18

was whack Singing

25:22

singing and dancing Dancing.

25:24

Nah, nah. Nah, we decided that all the y'all

25:26

was whack old singers. They was fine. Al green

25:29

in them That was cool. That wasn't so much

25:31

of an issue But any new dude that was

25:33

out here is still singing and dancing We was

25:35

really not like trying to hear that it's so

25:37

interesting for me now to see dudes who are

25:39

my age who talk about how They big usher

25:41

fans. I'm like where the hell were you in

25:44

1999? Cuz you sure wouldn't

25:46

say that out loud in the dorm. I walked

25:48

past not now one of y'all Playing no usher

25:50

tape in the room. Yeah, it's not only the

25:52

singing the dancing It's it's I feel like the

25:54

dancing with the headset, you

25:56

know that hip-hop was like not the old

25:58

Navy joint. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, yeah,

26:00

nah man, like I just I'm just

26:02

saying like something changed there whatever but

26:04

you know saying I saw I

26:07

saw Usher that you know the show that he'd

26:09

been doing I saw him do that and I

26:12

Just don't take us seriously Right,

26:15

like I just I don't I don't I

26:17

don't I don't fight him to somebody that's

26:19

just me. He is not a person I

26:21

don't find him serious. I don't find his

26:24

music to be particularly serious and I think

26:26

we'd all agree about this He got a

26:28

lot of silly silly silly ass music. All

26:30

right, the the omg. That's a silly little

26:32

song What you call

26:34

it the good kisser love in the club

26:36

era Usher? That's a silly music man And

26:39

when he was doing them shows for the

26:41

residency He doing the whole show cuz ain't

26:43

nobody tell him like hey dog, you don't

26:45

have to do this no more You know what I'm saying?

26:47

We understood you were trying to figure out how to grow

26:50

up to stay young at the same time You ain't got

26:52

to do these songs no more You ain't got to break

26:54

them out in concert and that's why his Super Bowl set

26:56

was off the chain Cuz he ain't have time to play

26:58

all them silly songs in their totality He could only sing

27:00

out a little bit of it He was out there doing

27:02

a little dancing brought a couple people out people that to

27:05

be honest I like a little bit more than him. I

27:07

thought his set was great I think it was one of

27:09

the better sets in the last couple years. I the

27:12

internet has been loving germane Dupree showing

27:14

up Which in his

27:16

hilarious get up my homeboy. Yeah, that's

27:18

why he would dress like Shirley Temple

27:21

I Mean

27:23

he was he was I mean, but again, I don't

27:26

I ain't never had to look for clothes in them sizes

27:28

You know what I'm saying? So I don't really be judging

27:30

him y'all need to be glad his little ass they come

27:32

30:04

Yeezus album but Yeezus album was coming

30:06

out all right and

30:09

this is after Watch the Throne and

30:11

I feel like it's kind of around

30:13

the time we're not really sure what

30:15

the relationship is with Kanye and Jay

30:18

Z but one thing we know about

30:20

Jay Z is when is

30:22

it ever not all about Jay Z right so

30:25

anyway it is a Sunday

30:28

I want to say that

30:31

Sunday is before game five

30:33

of the NBA Finals between

30:35

the Heat and the Spurs

30:38

it's a Sunday and that Yeezus

30:40

is coming out on Tuesday because that's

30:43

back when records still came out on

30:45

Tuesday okay that Yeezus is set to

30:47

come out on Tuesday the biggest thing

30:49

going in music Yeezus is coming out

30:51

on Tuesday and we watching the

30:53

game and what do we see a

30:56

Samsung commercial for Magna

30:58

Carta Holy Grail the

31:01

new Jay Z album that

31:04

wasn't even good but the new Jay

31:06

Z album and suddenly all

31:09

the discussion is

31:12

about Jay Z putting out a new tape Kanye

31:14

we thought was his man we thought the name

31:16

was cool all

31:19

about that right so

31:22

fast forward to this Super Bowl your

31:25

man Ursh get up there does

31:27

an excellent halftime show he was on

31:30

fire everybody thought he was on fire

31:32

again even somebody like me who finds

31:34

him to be silly and pointy-headed thought

31:36

that he was on fire right he

31:39

was out there doing the thing and

31:41

then after you get off stage it's

31:44

a Verizon commercial and

31:47

it's Beyonce in the Verizon

31:49

commercial and it's Beyonce talking

31:51

about breaking the internet and

31:54

then gets to the end and says well

31:57

fine guess we gotta drop that

31:59

new music on And

32:01

people went from looking up them usher tickets to

32:04

going to see where this new Beyonce

32:06

music is Just

32:08

like that the discussion went

32:10

away from talking about usher to

32:13

talk about Beyonce got new music out It

32:15

had the audacity to make it country music

32:19

If I'm usher I'm calling Jay

32:21

Z like dog. Y'all don't care about nobody do

32:23

y'all y'all y'all couldn't

32:25

let me have the night

32:29

The night y'all couldn't let me have

32:31

the night and this would make it

32:33

even worse Let

32:36

me tell you who don't need no Super Bowl to

32:38

pump up a new tape coming out Beyonce

32:41

Beyonce don't need none of this

32:43

to make none of this happen.

32:45

It is completely unnecessary She

32:48

could have lived us a half a couple of

32:50

days and they could have done something Beyonce

32:53

put that put that lemonade thing on HBO and

32:56

all they told us that Beyonce gonna be on

32:58

now ten years ago Beyonce gonna be

33:00

on that's all we knew Beyonce gonna be on and

33:03

we showed up for what it was

33:05

What not it would not now better

33:07

that necessary. I'll be like Beyonce is

33:10

such a benevolent queen Nah, man, Beyonce

33:12

is married to Jay Z the

33:14

Jay Z by the way, that books the Super

33:16

Bowl halftime show That's all I'm saying. He knew

33:19

it He knew they could have had us

33:21

to let him they could have let us they

33:23

had that moment He could have let his own

33:25

clients have that moment instead.

33:27

Boom Beyonce dropped him

33:29

tape Hey, and and my question is

33:32

Sean was in attempt by Beyonce in

33:34

part to one up Taylor

33:36

Swift a little bit, you know, it's funny because they

33:39

had both gone to each other's movies and

33:41

concerts and they made it a big thing

33:43

of like Beyonce and Taylor Swift hanging out,

33:45

but I Mean the signs

33:47

are there if Beyonce is gonna put out a

33:49

country record. I mean the only thing that's left

33:52

now Time for Kim

33:54

Kardashian to put a naked picture on the internet

33:56

ain't that normally how this work? All right in

34:00

normally how this battle back

34:02

and forth goes under these

34:04

circumstances well yeah yeah now a game

34:06

was Pete as for the songs

34:08

themselves they are interesting to me like I don't

34:10

need to go over the top in one direction

34:13

or another and I'm very clear about this I

34:15

don't listen to that much country music I'm big

34:17

into my man Waylon Jennings I'm into my man

34:19

Sturgill I ain't really got that much boy for

34:21

you I got a couple Willie Nelson records at

34:24

the house but I don't really know like this

34:26

is not where my background is the grapes however

34:29

I will say this and this is

34:31

just me personal taste I

34:33

like the way the Raphael Sadiq

34:35

songs sound I tend to

34:37

like the way that his songs feel I

34:40

don't typically like him that much as a

34:42

lyricist I find him to be

34:45

a little too on the nose

34:47

at points girl give me all

34:49

your loving girl I'll do all the rubbing you

34:52

know what I mean like I just I find

34:54

him to be a very on the nose sort

34:56

of songwriter that's just not it's not necessarily my

34:58

speed number two I

35:00

don't like and this is just again

35:02

my own personal taste I

35:05

do not really enjoy listening

35:08

to people sing vulgarities

35:12

I don't mind hearing people say them I don't

35:15

mind hearing people wrap them

35:17

I don't really enjoy hearing

35:19

people sing cuss words I

35:22

just don't I just don't really dig that Beyonce

35:25

does that a lot like that's been one

35:27

of my criticisms of the last like three

35:29

or four of the Beyonce albums is like

35:31

that eight-shit song bang but I don't want

35:33

to that's not what I that's not what

35:36

I want to hear from her that's me

35:38

personally I don't want to hear that from

35:40

her it's kind of like how when vibrant

35:42

thing came out from Q-tip it was banging

35:44

but that was not really what we wanted

35:46

to hear from Q-tip right

35:51

but anyway the the country song that

35:53

she's putting out and look if she's putting out a

35:55

country album I am very interested in hearing it like

35:57

what I have hoped to get from her is

36:00

interesting stuff, right? Like I don't need big,

36:02

I don't need outsized. I want to hear

36:05

interesting music from her. I would much rather

36:07

hear her do something

36:09

like Nas is done with that hip boy dude,

36:11

where, okay, I got me a producer I'm working

36:14

with, I don't have to get an army of

36:16

people to work on every track. I'm just gonna

36:18

go with this one person, and

36:20

we gonna go over and like intimately

36:22

create a bunch of music. Like

36:25

I would like to hear that from her more

36:28

than I would like to hear her take

36:30

this off to like a whole nother stratosphere

36:33

and keep making it bigger and bigger and

36:35

bigger and more epic. To me, that's where

36:37

Michael Jackson went wrong, is he just kept

36:39

going and kept getting more epic. And then

36:41

it became like harder to feel. Beyonce, much

36:43

to her credit though, as the stuff has

36:45

gotten more epic, has also made it still

36:48

feel really intimate. Like that's a really tough

36:50

game to play, but she's managed to pull

36:52

that off. But if she

36:54

make a country record, I'll be interested in to hear

36:56

it. I just wanna see who she work on

36:58

with it. Cause to be honest, if you do

37:00

a whole country album with Raphael Sadiq, one

37:03

might call that cultural

37:06

appropriation. But

37:08

I've gone through the credits. She

37:10

seemed to have like some legit folk,

37:12

like people who make country music who are on

37:14

there. So if that's what she wants to do,

37:17

I wanna see it. I appreciate her being willing

37:19

to take the chance of making the country music

37:21

in the first place. I'll be curious if she

37:23

takes some chances within the country. I would also

37:25

love if I found out that somehow they put

37:28

a call in and my man Sturgill worked on

37:30

it. I seen like something that he might be

37:32

trying down to pull off. Somebody said they want

37:34

a Dolly Parton collab, but not unless you put

37:37

in Dolly Parton in a time machine. Like

37:40

honestly, a Dolly Parton collaboration,

37:43

if it's not Dolly Parton writing the song and

37:45

Beyonce singing it, I'm not really interested in that.

37:47

Cause I feel like that would be, like that's

37:49

what you do to get the song sold in

37:51

Target. Like that would feel a level of schmaltzy

37:53

to me personally, that I wouldn't want to get

37:55

down on. But here

37:58

I go. Could have been us just down. Talk

38:01

about Beyonce. And don't you think

38:03

for a second that that was by accident. Prize

40:20

God, I got dudes in the

40:22

chat. Everybody does, silly sauce, even

40:24

Michael Jackson. Stop hating, bro. When

40:26

did you stop being allowed to say

40:29

that you personally don't like something? That's

40:31

all I'm trying to figure out. When

40:33

did you get to say, everybody got

40:35

silly sauce? Okay, and when, not

40:37

everybody feel like they gotta do all them

40:40

silly ass songs in concert. I just watched

40:42

a Michael Jackson concert in Romania where he

40:44

wore the jet pack out of there. He

40:46

ain't play none of the silly songs, right?

40:48

Show me where Usher got man in the

40:50

goddamn mirror. Show me

40:52

what Usher saw that sound like man in

40:54

the mirror. When I was,

40:57

look, I ain't know what a dude was

41:00

putting on the Usher capes, all right?

41:03

I'ma just say that right now. Like you, I

41:05

mean, and you know what, it may be that

41:07

ain't a dude. Maybe I'm wrong here. Okay, okay.

41:10

Got it, got it. Got it, dude, that

41:12

Bomani is having the epiphany that he and Usher

41:14

are the same age and Bomani can't do any

41:16

of those moves. I could never do any of

41:19

those moves. What are you talking about? You

41:21

think it took till 2024 for me

41:23

to be like, damn, I can't dance

41:25

like Usher. If I, I'ma be honest

41:27

with y'all, I could dance

41:30

like Usher. I don't know who that woman is at your

41:32

house, but she wouldn't be. Let's

41:34

move on. All right, Bo, our

41:36

first story on, if you haven't heard today, is

41:38

on the diamond industry. My name is Amanda Mull,

41:40

and I'm a staff writer at The Atlantic. I'm

41:43

here to tell you about my new story, diamonds are

41:46

too perfect for their own good. If you've

41:48

been in the market for any jewelry in the past like

41:50

five or so years, and especially an engagement

41:52

ring, you've probably been offered

41:54

lab diamonds, and they probably seemed a little

41:56

bit too good to be true. Lab

41:59

diamonds are... everywhere now. According to one estimate,

42:01

as much as 40% of the engagement rings

42:03

sold in the US last year held lab

42:05

stones, which represents like a really, really

42:07

huge shift in the traditional diamond business.

42:10

These stones like basically didn't exist on the

42:13

market at all as recently as like 15

42:15

years ago. And lab diamonds are real diamonds,

42:17

chemically and physically, they're identical to

42:19

their mind counterparts. A jeweler

42:21

can't look into his loop and tell whether

42:24

your diamond came out of a mine or out of

42:26

a lab. But they speed up that process to like

42:28

a matter of weeks or months. And they do it

42:31

in a factory instead of deep within the earth. That

42:34

means a lot of different manufacturers have been

42:36

able to flood the market with these types

42:38

of stones in all shapes and sizes in

42:40

the past few years. As a result, diamonds

42:43

long a market managed by a price

42:45

fixing cartel called the De Beers Corporation

42:48

are no longer even plausibly rare. They

42:50

were never really rare, but like not

42:52

even plausibly anymore. They're everywhere and they're

42:55

not very expensive. Thanks to oversupply, the

42:57

wholesale price of lab diamonds has crashed

42:59

even just in a few years. An

43:02

average one carat stone cost more than $1,700 in 2018. And it would

43:04

go for a little over $160 today. That's

43:10

like more than 90% of its value gone.

43:12

Lots of people have predicted that lab diamonds

43:14

are the end of the traditional diamond industry

43:16

as we know it. And I can see

43:18

why they think that if a diamond engagement ring

43:20

is a public avatar for a couple social status,

43:22

then they'll always want one that's a little bit

43:24

bigger and brighter than their lot in life might

43:27

really afford them. If anyone can

43:29

have a huge diamond, then it no

43:31

longer has any power. Why pay more for a mined

43:33

version of the same thing if not even a jeweler

43:35

with a loop can tell the difference. But

43:37

I think that prediction is wrong. I think lab diamonds

43:40

will end up a boon to the jewelry industry overall.

43:42

Less expensive lab diamonds will attract younger

43:45

lower income people to find jewelry and

43:47

induce demand for more of it, getting

43:49

more people into the habit of buying gemstones. As

43:52

those buyers become more prosperous, they'll go looking

43:54

for things that are considered fancier and rarer,

43:57

leading them directly to the mined diamonds these

43:59

products claim. to undercut. And

44:01

I think she is correct. Because in

44:03

the end, the point is

44:06

not simply to have an attractive

44:08

diamond. The point is to have

44:10

a diamond that look like it

44:12

costs a lot of money.

44:16

And when the diamonds don't look like that, the

44:18

purpose has been defeated. Sean, you about to say

44:20

something? Yes, I was. I remember you commented. I

44:22

got engaged in November. Okay, cool. We can tell

44:24

that story. We can tell that story. I'm gonna

44:26

go ahead and do it. Okay. Congratulations,

44:29

by the way, again to Sean. Sean

44:31

has gotten engaged. I met his lovely

44:33

fiance, Christine, right? Uh-huh. Uh-huh. There we

44:35

go. And so I looked at the

44:37

picture that Sean put up. And let

44:39

me tell you something, boy, that rock

44:42

was powerful. That rock was hitting it.

44:44

I had to ask Sean. I was like, yo,

44:46

what way are you paying in these streets, baby?

44:48

I ain't never wearing nowhere where no producer could

44:50

get his woman no rock like that. I ain't

44:53

no, you know, maybe I got money in the

44:55

old country. I had no idea where that paper

44:57

was coming from. And then Sean

44:59

told me it was a lab diamond. And

45:01

I was like, good for you that you

45:03

got a woman that was good with that.

45:05

Yeah, she told me exactly what she wanted.

45:07

She says, I don't want any blood on

45:09

my diamond. And, uh, you know, for me,

45:12

the price being what it was, I

45:14

was like, yeah, I'll get you

45:16

a lab diamond. Say less. Yo,

45:18

we need more of her because

45:20

I don't know if it's going to be

45:23

a little different with these zoomers and these

45:25

millennials. I have no idea, but I'm here

45:27

to tell you all them principles about the

45:30

blood diamonds and everything else. They

45:32

go out the window when it's about her

45:34

getting that diamond. Like I remember that time

45:36

I was in the, I think I'm a

45:38

buy a diamond, uh, whatever. And I made

45:40

the point about the lab diamonds and said,

45:43

maybe that was the way to go as

45:45

opposed to the, let's be honest, ones that

45:47

cost more money. And, uh, let me tell

45:49

you something. It wasn't all

45:51

just about cut color and clarity. No more.

45:54

No, sir. Reebok. They want to feel

45:56

like you don't feel some pain to

45:59

get that diamond. Not all of them,

46:01

but some of them. It's a lot of

46:03

them. If you ain't, the point is

46:06

to look like you spent a lot of

46:08

money. And so they gonna have to figure

46:10

out ways to make it look like you

46:12

spent a lot of money. This is in

46:14

line with what we was talking about last

46:16

week about this society. If the diamond no

46:19

longer looks like you spent a lot of

46:21

money, then they gonna find some way on

46:23

top of that diamond to make it look

46:25

like you spent a lot of money. That

46:28

being said, I know this

46:30

next part may make me seem like a hypocrite, but

46:34

boy Robert Griffin showed up at the party and

46:37

he showed up with his wife. It was very

46:39

nice to meet her. She seemed like a very

46:41

lovely lady. And I looked at that ring. She

46:43

had boy, man, them diamonds was crip walking in

46:45

the light. God damn, I could not

46:47

believe that. In every day something, that thing

46:49

right there came out of the lab. Everybody

46:51

needs to go get that because that thing

46:53

was out here. I love it. It was

46:55

moving boy. I could not believe what it

46:57

was doing. It was popping and locking. It

47:00

was making all kinds of moves. Good gracious.

47:03

And that room was dark. It was super

47:05

dark. And I thought the same thing. I

47:07

was like, that's all I'm seeing right now. Yes.

47:10

Yes. But I'm gonna tell you this right now.

47:13

If what they saying is, and I didn't really notice

47:15

before, what

47:17

Amanda said was that they

47:19

can't even put on the loop, the eye

47:22

joint. If the loop can't

47:24

tell the lab diamond, hey man, don't want

47:27

to answer what she asked where you got it from. She's

47:29

gonna need to go get it insured. Let her

47:31

go work all that stuff out on her

47:33

own and let her expose herself. Why you gotta

47:36

spend a lot of money, greedy ass? Moving on.

47:38

All right, Bo, our next one is how it's

47:41

tough to be a sellout in this industry. Hi,

47:43

my name is Rebecca Jennings and I'm a senior

47:45

correspondent at Vox covering internet culture. I

47:48

recently wrote about the labor of self promotion and

47:50

the imperative that if you want to be any

47:52

kind of artist or author, you've got to devote

47:54

a serious amount of time to building an online

47:56

platform. Essentially, we're all sellouts

47:59

now. But what this piece

48:01

is really about is the tension between big

48:03

tech, which claims it's democratizing culture by making

48:05

it so that theoretically anyone can get their

48:07

work seen and anyone can go viral, and

48:10

the model of the culture industry that existed

48:12

in the second half of the 20th century,

48:14

where artists were siloed from the business side

48:16

of things by publishing houses and record companies.

48:19

That model is still alive to an extent,

48:21

but the burden of marketing is now almost

48:24

entirely on individual artists. And the

48:26

ones who end up succeeding aren't necessarily the best,

48:28

but the ones who are really skilled at marketing

48:30

themselves, sometimes at the expense of

48:32

their art. When musician I talked to Ricky

48:34

Montgomery told me of the experience of building

48:36

his TikTok following, you're becoming a great marketer

48:38

for a product which is less and less

48:40

good. Music or film or

48:42

fiction has never been a meritocracy and it's

48:44

always been pretty difficult to make living off

48:46

of doing it. The difference is that before

48:49

at least some people were getting rich off

48:51

their art in the form of royalties and sales.

48:53

That's all been decimated by big tech, whereas

48:56

left artists is on a hamster wheel of

48:58

constantly posting online in the hopes that someone

49:00

will care. And even if you

49:02

do win the virality jackpot, you're kind of stuck on

49:05

the stride forever. Thanks for reading. I just

49:07

want to throw this out here. Marketing and

49:09

selling out? Not the same thing. Selling

49:11

out? Always bad. Always

49:15

bad. Period. Not a good thing.

49:18

We all got stabbed for something out here in this world.

49:20

And I feel like if you, like, and Sean, I think

49:22

we talked about this the other day, how I feel about

49:24

people who call when they do content. Right?

49:28

Ain't no art in it whatsoever. Right? There's nothing there.

49:30

You don't think it was your work or anything like

49:32

that. It's just content. It's just shit to throw up

49:34

on the Internet. And I do think that's what a

49:36

lot of people just think this is. Find something that

49:39

trips over in the algorithm and then go from there.

49:41

But there is nothing wrong and there never has been

49:43

anything wrong with marketing your work. But if you make

49:45

your work only

49:47

for the fact that it'll sell, and that's the

49:49

only part that you care about, you're

49:52

a buster. That's crazy seeing how many

49:54

people just make content for the sake

49:56

of making content, like Rebecca said, of

49:58

the hope to go viral. Whereas I

50:01

think we think the same way is like

50:03

make the good thing and if it goes

50:05

viral great But you're making something that you

50:07

love and you're passionate about right now. Come

50:09

on man somebody something's got to matter, right?

50:11

All right, well we can move on the

50:13

next if you haven't heard

50:15

story is about YouTube and the streaming wars.

50:17

Hi I am Peter Kofka. I'm the chief

50:19

correspondent at Business Insider It's day I wanted

50:21

to talk to you about YouTube and

50:24

how in addition to being the world's largest video

50:26

site is now one of the biggest Cable TV

50:28

companies in the US that's because

50:30

YouTube has something called YouTube TV Cost

50:32

about 70 bucks a month and it delivers all

50:35

the things you used to get from cable TV

50:37

Now it has more than 8 million subscribers For

50:41

context Comcast and charter the two biggest

50:43

pay TV companies. They've got about 14

50:45

million subscribers each Direct TV

50:47

has 11 million, but those

50:49

companies are all losing subscribers and YouTube

50:52

TV is growing So that's

50:54

interesting But more interesting to me is the road

50:56

YouTube took getting here because for a long time

50:58

YouTube and Google which owns YouTube Wanted

51:01

to take over traditional TV, but they didn't want

51:03

to be a traditional TV company so they tried

51:05

all kinds of ways to break

51:07

into TV with while being a

51:09

smart tech company instead of a slow outdated

51:11

TV company they Tried selling ads they tried

51:13

building software to run TV sets They spent

51:16

money trying to get people to make their

51:18

own TV style shows for YouTube None

51:20

of that worked so in 2017

51:23

YouTube started selling bundles of TV channels

51:25

just like Comcast and charter and everyone

51:28

else and They must think

51:30

it's working because they keep spending more money on

51:32

it last year They got the rights

51:34

to the NFL Sunday ticket package. That's something that

51:36

had looked at years earlier and passed on So

51:39

they seem committed to this stuff Regular YouTube by

51:41

the way is still very much a thing Last

51:44

quarter the company sold more than nine billion

51:46

dollars of ads for regular YouTube But

51:49

people still watch and pay for regular

51:51

TV. So YouTube has decided to meet

51:53

them where they are Okay,

51:55

you can read that whole article on Business Insider.

51:58

Thanks boy, Sean one my

52:00

favorite things to hear people talk about is how

52:02

they a tech company. Everybody's

52:05

a tech company. When's the last time you heard

52:07

about a new company that wasn't the tech company?

52:10

Everything. Oh, we're not a TV company. That's dot

52:12

dot dot. We're a tech company. Nobody can even

52:14

tell me what that means anymore. Right? Now, not

52:16

that YouTube isn't a tech company. It obviously makes

52:18

sense that it would be a tech company. I

52:20

just laugh every time I hear that. I'm like,

52:22

yep, everybody is a tech

52:24

company. There's somebody right now who just bought

52:27

a dump truck talking about, I got a

52:29

tech company. I had to describe this company,

52:31

wave sports the first couple of years as

52:33

a tech company and we don't

52:35

do any tech. I got news for you. Nobody

52:38

ever told me the words. This is a tech

52:40

company and I knew good and damn well, this

52:42

was a tech company. Let

52:44

me tell you something. Any company with a name like

52:46

wave, they a tech

52:48

company and every meeting they go in. I'm

52:50

sorry fellas. I hope I'm not giving the

52:52

game away to any of my bosses who

52:54

matter, but come on now, everybody a tech

52:56

company. Everybody a tech company, just like

52:58

every press conference when a new coach comes in. Oh

53:01

yeah, we're going to be multiple. We're going to be

53:03

multiple. All

53:09

right, both today's voicemail was about the

53:11

game is cheating. A lot

53:13

of video game. The

53:17

game cheat. There's no is. Sorry.

53:20

Game cheat. Game cheat. It's cool. It's cool.

53:22

I understand. I understand. It's not your fault.

53:24

I just wanted to clarify the game cheat.

53:27

All right. Here's the first one on Kobe

53:29

and NBA 2K. Hey, both. This is Isaac.

53:32

So I got a story for the time

53:34

where the game was cheating me the

53:37

worst. So, okay. This is like, I

53:39

want to say early 2000s. I'm

53:43

playing NBA 2K with my nephew

53:45

and there's about a seven

53:47

year age gap between us. And up

53:50

until this point, you know, I

53:52

was the better one at video games. You know,

53:54

I pretty much dominated all

53:56

the video games because I was like a teenager

53:58

when he was like a kid. growing up. So,

54:00

uh, cut to

54:02

this point, I'm like early twenties. He's a

54:04

teenager now. We're playing 2K

54:07

and this is the one with, uh, Kobe

54:09

on the front. So of course

54:11

in the game, you know, Kobe is

54:13

the highest rated player, you know, he

54:16

has all the good stats. So my nephew,

54:18

he picks the Lakers, he has Kobe, I'm

54:21

playing against them. And you

54:23

know, every time Kobe comes down, he's

54:25

just like making everything. He's, you know,

54:28

dunking on everybody. He's hitting every shot

54:30

and it's getting kind of ridiculous. So, uh, fast

54:34

forward to like the end of the game. Um, he's

54:37

just racking up points. I think he has like, you

54:39

know, 60 or 70 in the third quarter and he

54:41

starts to brag like, Oh yeah, I'm going to score

54:43

100. And I'm like, there's no way he's

54:45

going to 100 on me. So, you know,

54:48

I'm throwing everything out on every defense,

54:50

double teaming doesn't make a

54:52

difference. Kobe is going on every time

54:54

down the floor. So we get

54:56

to the end of the game. He ends

54:59

up getting, getting a couple of shots, getting up

55:01

to like 98 points.

55:04

And you know, I'm just like

55:06

shaking my head in disbelief. Like I can't believe

55:08

that I'm about to let, you

55:10

know, my nephew who I'm like better

55:12

at video games than score 100 points

55:15

for me in the basketball game. And

55:17

so he's getting ready, like the hip, the shot

55:20

to go up and you know, score 100 points.

55:22

And I just get up and

55:24

turn off the game, drop

55:26

the controls. I'm like, no, I'm not letting

55:28

this happen. So like, I don't care what

55:30

happens. This game is cheating. I'm

55:32

not playing it no more. I just

55:35

cut the game off. And the

55:37

sad thing is ever since then, he's pretty much been

55:39

better at video games than me. But yeah, that one

55:41

time the game was really cheating and I had to

55:43

turn it off. All right,

55:45

thanks for that. Well, listen to keep

55:48

up the good work. You didn't have to

55:50

turn it off. You got Wow.

55:52

You got up and turn as a grown

55:54

man. You got up and turned it off.

55:57

Oh, no, you wack. You wack.

56:00

I was hoping to sympathize with you.

56:02

I can't you wag you wag I

56:04

hope that young man beat the brakes

56:06

off you every time y'all play you

56:08

already scored 98. What's an

56:10

extra two points there? There you know

56:12

it got drawn a lot somewhere though now

56:14

that part I do understand right right got

56:16

it Got a job a lot somewhere all

56:18

right, but we got another game cheating story

56:20

on Madden. Hey, but money. It's Alan from

56:23

Houston I had a great video game cheating

56:25

story Remember back in

56:27

the day they used to have the NCAA

56:29

football game And

56:32

I would always create myself as a player

56:34

and making myself a six

56:36

foot five quarterback with a 95

56:39

speed and like a 99

56:41

arm and the most athletic freak of nature Thinking

56:44

like Donna McNabb meet Michael Vick

56:46

meets Camarino all the one thing

56:49

That's what I created myself as a what

56:52

you could do is later export yourself to

56:55

Madden once you graduated and

56:57

my best friend Wilbert saw

56:59

that I made myself a 99 to

57:02

80 quarterback and Without me

57:04

noticing decided to change my

57:07

health attribute to zero and

57:10

then halfway through my rookie season on Madden

57:12

I Broke

57:14

my hip the Bo Jackson injury in

57:16

my career was over with I've

57:18

matted And that was how my

58:08

dude that I'm supposed to play against, he can't play, so

58:10
